Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik has said this while presiding over the preparatory meeting held at Secretariat for celebration of 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Chief Minister has also explained that the Birth Anniversary of Gandhijee will be celebrated with much pomp and gaiety with inclusion of the people from all strata of the society. Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik said that Mahatma Gandhi was great man of this era. He endeavoured for the reawakening of the soul of India. To achieve independence for the country was not his sole aim. Rather, restoration of basic values in the society was his main objective. That is why, he always attached importance on truth and non-violence. In the present day society, importance of these two concepts has increased substantially. For this, Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik has proposed for the inclusion of “Non- violence” in the preamble of the Constitution. Chief Minister also explained that, ‘non- violence’ is the most powerful weapon against social injustice and poverty. Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik has said that "In today’s society, Truth and Non-violence bear utmost relevance." Chief Minister further added that, Mahatma Gandhi had visited Odisha 7 times and felt the ground reality in Odisha by travelling most of its regions. Chief Minister also said that, from this land of Odisha, Gandhijee got inspiration for expansion of ‘Khadi’ programme throughout the country. This is worth-mentioning that 5 such Committees have been constituted by the Government of Odisha for the celebration of 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Besides, on the basis of the proposals of the Members of the Jayanti Committee various programmes are being undertaken for two years commencing from October 2nd 2018 to October 2nd, 2020. Mahatma Gandhi with Biswakabi Rabindra Nath Tagore Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Mahatma Gandhi during the Salt Satyagraha Mahatma Gandhi : The apostle of Peace and Non-violence Editor’s Note The one hundred and fiftieth Birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of our Nation, is being celebrated across the country. In Odisha, it is being celebrated in big way as well. Hon'ble Chief Minister of Odisha Shri Naveen Patnaik's advocacy for inclusion of non-violence in the preamble of the Constitution is the best way to pay real tribute to the legend and educate the present generation about the critical necessity of the ideas of non-violence. As envisaged by the Mahatma the essential and inherent approach of Shri Naveen Patnaik's Governance model is positive transformation. The 5 Ts along with the T representing Transformative dimension has become the categorical imperative for implementing numerous policies of the Government centred around people and their welfare and empowerment. An effective governance which is inclusive, open, caring and empowering. This has a huge implication for positive and progressive change in society, politics and public life. The bold vision of a poverty free- Odisha by 2024 constitutes a transformational vision of our beloved Chief Minister. 'Mo Sarkar' a first of its kind initiative in the country is all set to be launched from 2nd October 2019. It is an important transformational initiative of the 5Ts programme. As we celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of the legend, we all learn through the actions of our Chief Minister that we run the administration with tax payer's money, draw our salary from the money of the citizens. It is, therefore, our duty to treat citizens with dignity whenever they visit a public office. More so ever when citizens visit a police station it is mandatory that their complaint should be dealt in a professional, ethical and humane manner. Only when the man standing last in the line gets all the benefits and empowered to the hilt, the dreams of Mahatma Gandhi would turn into reality. Editor, Odisha Review Odisha Review ISSN 0970-8669 Gandhian Concept on Non-Violence and World Peace Prof. R.K.Nanda “It was the best of times, it was the worst of honesty, integrity and morality. It was a times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the question of truth and non violence. age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, “Mahatma Gandhi is the supreme disciple it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the of peace the world has seen after Buddha season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.” This was the description of the period from the famous novel ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ by one all time famous novelist of all times Charles Dickens.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Nonviolence is the pillar of Gandhi‘s life and work. His concept of nonviolence was based on cultivating a particular philosophical outlook and was integrally associated with truth. For him, nonviolence not just meant refraining from physical violence interpersonally and nationally but refraining from the inner violence of the heart as well. It meant the practice of active love towards one‘s oppressor and enemies in the pursuit of justice, truth and peace; ―Nonviolence cannot be preached‖ he insisted, ―It has to be practiced.‖ (Dear John, 2004). Non Violence is mightier than violence. Gandhi had studied very well the basic nature of man. To him, "Man as animal is violent, but in spirit he is non-violent.‖ The moment he awakes to the spirit within, he cannot remain violent". Thus, violence is artificial to him whereas non-violence has always an edge over violence. (Gandhi, M.K., 1935). Mahatma Gandhi‘s nonviolent struggle which helped in attaining independence is the biggest example. Ahimsa (nonviolence) has been part of Indian religious tradition for centuries. According to Mahatma Gandhi the concept of nonviolence has two dimensions i.e. nonviolence in action and nonviolence in thought. It is not a negative virtue rather it is positive state of love. The underlying principle of non- violence is "hate the sin, but not the sinner." Gandhi believes that man is a part of God, and the same divine spark resides in all men. Since the same spirit resides in all men, the possibility of reforming the meanest of men cannot be ruled out.

  • Modi's First Speech in Parliament June 2014 Honourable Madam Speaker
    Modi’s first speech in Parliament June 2014 Honourable Madam Speaker, I am in this house for the first time today. My entry is also new, and the opportunity to give a speech is also happening for the first time. The parliamentary traditions of this House have been very high. There are many senior veterans in this House who are very experienced. Veterans with an experience of three or four decades in which they have raised the questions/problems of the nation, resolved them, and consistently worked hard for the nation, are sitting in this house today. When a new person like me says something, there may be some lapses in maintaining the dignity and decorum of the House. For being new, you will forgive those lapse, I am fully certain. 01:40 More than 50 respected members of the Lok Sabha presented their opinions on the President's speech. I heard almost all the speeches, some while sitting in the House and some while sitting in my room. Respected Mallikarjunaji, eespected Mulayam Singhji, respected Dr Thambhiduraiji, Bhartuhariji, leaders of Trinamool Congress. I heard the veterans. It is true that a tone was conveyed, that “you have said a lot of things but how will you do it ? When will you do it ?” I believe that the right topic is touched, and it is very natural for these questions to be raised. I will recount an experience of mine In Gujarat. I had just become the new Chief Minister in Gujarat. Once I said in the house, “I want to provide electricity in the villages of Gujarat 24 hours a day”.

    Theme Note for the National Seminar on š Philosophy of Acharya Vinoba Bhave (5-7 February 2018) Sponsored by Indian Council of Philosophical Research (ICPR), New Delhi and Organized by Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalay, Wardha Title: PHILOSOPHICAL CONTRIBUTION OF ACHARYA VINOBA BHAVE All those who have left legacy of ideas are remembered for generations. Those who have not only preached but practised what is professed are revered for their contribution to the field of Thought, Action and Life. Acharya Vinoba Bhave is a philosopher whose actions, words and thoughts continue to inspire in different ways.He was a scholar, a saint, a man of God, a moral tribune, a beacon of hope and solace to millions in India & abroad. On 18th april1951,an all-inclusive movement of Bhoodan emerged before him and showed the path for egalitarian & self-governed Society to villagers. Villages are the back-bone of India as observed by Mahatma Gandhi and how to make them strong after the foreign rule of 150 years was one of the most difficult problems before us. As Vinoba used to say the parcel of Independence was delivered from London and has reached Delhi but did not reach (Dehat) the villages. He wanted to see that the parcel reaches the villages and the villages become self-governed and self-reliant. Dada Dharmadhikari points out that Vinoba desired to extend an artistic exquisiteness to the process of revolution. One can say that Vinoba tried to find the dynamics of social change through non-violence and love on the basis of Gandhi’s Constructive programme.
