  • Gujarat Government Overcomes Hurdles of Lockdown in More Than One Innovative Ways
    Gujarat Government overcomes hurdles of lockdown in more than one innovative ways As we have witnessed, COVID-19 has changed scenario of the world. This global pandemic is one of the biggest challenges the international community has ever faced in the recent history. It has also re-emphasised the stark inequalities between the privileged and the marginalised communities. The world also faced the biggest lockdown which obstructed or delayed many essential services in the field of livelihood, health, nutrition, education, etc. And the last mile people suffered most due to the situation. The service providers, especially the governments came across the greatest challenge to continue these essential services without compromising with the regularity, quality and health norms. As per its mandate ICDS scheme fulfils the most critical needs of community at large by providing supplementary nutrition, healthcare and preschool education for pregnant and lactating mothers, adolescent girls and children below six years. To defeat the challenge and to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 the Government of India imposed a nationwide lockdown on 23rd March 2020. Along with all the other important Govt. departments, ICDS came forward with innovative, scalable and practical ideas for safe delivery of essential services even during the lockdown. To ensure the health and safety of beneficiaries and service providers, ICDS, Women & Child Development Department, Gujarat, designed, developed and implemented ‘Umbre Anganwadi’ (means Anganwadi at Door Step) programme using digital platforms and to ensure home delivery of services. Since Anganwadi Centres had shut down on 16th of March (and remain closed till date), they had to come up with the alternative for provision of Hot cook meals.

  • Launching of Doordarshan: This Day in History – Sep 15
    Launching of Doordarshan: This Day in History – Sep 15 On 15 September 1959, the Government of India launched Doordarshan or DD in short, India’s public service broadcaster in Delhi. Starting as an experiment with one small 5 KW transmitter and an improvised studio, DD became a national broadcaster in 1982. Origins of Doordarshan ● When it started out, DD was part of All India Radio. The initial equipment was provided by Philips India Ltd. and the coverage area was only 40 km around the national capital. It was inaugurated by the then President Dr Rajendra Prasad. ● DD initially telecast programmes only on two days a week for a duration of one hour per day. ● With aid from the Ford Foundation, educational programmes were telecast for school children in Delhi from 1964. ● Daily transmission of programmes commenced in 1965. Duration of the broadcast was only three hours per day. It also started a news bulletin (lasting only five minutes) in 1965. ● In 1967, DD aired its first programme called ‘Krishi Darshan’. This was a 20-minute programme for farmers educating them about various aspects about agriculture. This was done in collaboration with the Department of Atomic Energy, the Indian Research Institute, and the Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments. Krishi Darshan is one of the longest running shows on Indian television, along with Chitrahaar, a show that plays Bollywood songs. ● The television service was extended to Bombay and Amritsar in 1972. ● Gradually over the years, the duration of the service and the transmitter range were increased. ● The government conducted a satellite TV experiment in 1975-76 for educational purposes.

  • Recommendations for Revenue Generation for Prasar Bharati
    Recommendations for Revenue Generation for Prasar Bharati Submitted by Ms. Vibha Desai, Former Executive Director, Ogilvy & Mather Dr. C. MuraliKrishna Kumar, Senior Advisor, Planning Commission Mr. V.K. Jain, Additional DG, Doordarshan Dr. Mahim Sagar, Professor, IIT Delhi In consultation with: Mr. Sam Pitroda May, 2013 1 1. Introduction To be the known as “the best”, an organization needs to defeat the rest. Every success story, every achievement, every accomplishment, every feat involves four very important steps. They are - Analysis Planning Execution Improvement Hence, for Prasar Bharati to reach the epitome of success, it has to imbibe the ability to analyse, the capacity to plan, the will to execute and the motivation to improve. Prasar Bharati came into existence in 1997 under the Prasar Bharati Act, prior to which Doordarshan and AIR where governed by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. What the organization lacks today is a self sustainable model. In spite of having maximum pan India reach, the Indians are not willing to invest their time in watching/listening to outstanding programs developed by All India Radio and Doordarshan. Indeed, it is time for Prasar Bharati to begin its journey from being the “Voice of India” to being the “Voice of Modern India”. 2. Methodology Adopted There are four different ways in which data are collected 1. Secondary Research – Research papers, websites of other national broadcasting channels, Doordarshan website and also other annual report of each channels 2. Competitor Analysis – To benchmark the performance, revenue stream of channels, competitor analysis is carried out. It is done at two level: a.

  • Hybridity in Singaporean Cinema: Othering the Self Through Diaspora and Language Policies in Ilo Ilo and Letters from the South
    FM4204: Time, Space and the Visceral in South East Asian Cinema Hybridity in Singaporean Cinema: Othering the Self through Diaspora and Language Policies in Ilo Ilo and Letters from the South Student Name: Amanda Curdt-Christiansen Matriculation Number: 140008304 Module Tutor: Dr Philippa Lovatt Date: 21/05/18 Word Count: 3849 FM4204 140008304 爸妈不在家/Ilo Ilo is a Singaporean film directed by Anthony Chen and released in 2013. It recounts the unanticipated development of a relationship between a Filipina woman, Teresa, and a Chinese-Singaporean boy, Jiale, whom she is employed to look after. The story unfurls against the backdrop of the Asian financial crisis of 1997, showcasing the struggle of a very young country in maintaining its core values, its independence, and its dignity in the face of economic disaster. 南方来信/Letters from the South is comprised of six short films from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Myanmar, released in 2013. Of these, I will be focusing on Sun Koh’s film, Singapore Panda, which examines tensions between national and cultural identity in the Chinese diaspora in Singapore. This essay will aim to explicate how diasporic communities maintain (or fail to maintain) their cultural identity in Singaporean cinema. Using Ilo Ilo and Singapore Panda as a starting point, I will unpack how divergent cultural backgrounds colour the style of popular Singaporean films, particularly in their treatment of space. I will begin by providing a contextualisation of the films in terms of the Singaporean political climate: language policy, post-colonial policy, and how these contribute to conflict between the nation and the self.
