Roy Road, Kolkata – 700001 is making steady progress, the total number of registered cases during the period of being 1st April, 2015 to 31st March, 2016. being 102. Out of these 102 cases Family Counselling registered cases were 62 in number, the period wise break up being : 1st April, 2015 to 30th September, 2015 (38) and from 1st October, 2015 to 31st March, 2016 (24).

BEHALA CHAPTER OF LASWEB COUNSELLING CENTRE We are happy to inform you that the property of Silpara has been effectively utilized as new counseling centre and two counselors are sitting there, providing day to day assistance to the downtrodden people. As it is newly started counseling centre we hope to extend more effective service to the locality and surrounding areas. Day to day counselling, consultation and assistance are provided to the people who are seeking help and aid. Legal Aid Services –West Bengal, Silpara Branch, Behela (South 24 Parganas) was established on 15th November, 2014 with a focus to extend the legal aid service to the needy people residing in the surrounding areas as well as to the remote areas of South 24 Parganas. To establish this idea, various efforts were made for publicity. New sign boards in the neighbouring locations were put up and hand bills were distributed through newspaper vendors, in order to reach the common and needy people. Efforts were also made to run the said centre by generating a local establishment fund. All efforts have been made to create legal literacy awareness in the minds of the common men and women. Day-to-day assistance was provided to all the people attending the Counselling Centre. Legal Aid clinics were held from time to time. Student- counseling was given to large number of students of different Law Colleges. Training was provided to the intending Counsellors through a curriculum wherein distinguished Lawyers, Hon’ble Judges of the Court, lecturers of the Department of Sociology, Psychology, Physiology and Law contributed as faculty members. PERFORMANCE OF BEHALA BRBRANCHANCH OF LASWEB COUNSELLING CENTRE, 2015 ––– 2016 Sl. No. Type of Service Quantity 1. Registration (4) 2. Consultation (5) 3. Referral Service (1) 4. Assistance for Legal document searching 5. Assistance for Expedisation of pending court cases (2) 6. Conveyancing (1) In addition to above more than 40 nos. free counseling has been provided to the poor people residing in the locality. Most of the cases are related post marital conflicts and alchoholism. Pending Issues :- At the time of visit of police station and local clubs the police authorities have expressed the limitation to forward the cases directly to LASWEB and the surrounding clubs are directly involved with day to day political activities which restricts them to come forward without approval of the higher authorities. In order to overcome the aforesaid situation, the Executive Council of LASWEB authorized Mr. M.P. Chakraborty, Treasurer who is a resident of the locality, to take adequate measures to overcome the obstacles in fulfilling the goal of the organization. Report by Dr. J. Goswami, Director, PGDCC on session 2016 The members are aware that after the success of the short duration Certificate Course in Family Counselling, conducted by LASWEB for a continuous period of long 28 years, LASWEB introduced the Post Graduate Diploma Course in Counselling, affiliated with the University of Calcutta, covering the basic needs of human rights and responsibilities, socio-psychological justice, contemporary problems of domestic violence and marital conflicts, stresses and strains, individual freedom and human value systems, career counseling, geriatric counseling and fundamental knowledge of law, etc., required for the counselors.

  • Dadabhai Naoroji
    UNIT – IV POLITICAL THINKERS DADABHAI NAOROJI Dadabhai Naoroji (4 September 1825 – 30 June 1917) also known as the "Grand Old Man of India" and "official Ambassador of India" was an Indian Parsi scholar, trader and politician who was a Liberal Party member of Parliament (MP) in the United Kingdom House of Commons between 1892 and 1895, and the first Asian to be a British MP, notwithstanding the Anglo- Indian MP David Ochterlony Dyce Sombre, who was disenfranchised for corruption after nine months. Naoroji was one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress. His book Poverty and Un-British Rule in India brought attention to the Indian wealth drain into Britain. In it he explained his wealth drain theory. He was also a member of the Second International along with Kautsky and Plekhanov. Dadabhai Naoroji's works in the congress are praiseworthy. In 1886, 1893, and 1906, i.e., thrice was he elected as the president of INC. In 2014, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg inaugurated the Dadabhai Naoroji Awards for services to UK-India relations. India Post depicted Naoroji on stamps in 1963, 1997 and 2017.
