Y. Patil Educational Complex, Akurdi, Pune - 44 Date : 11th December, 2018 1 Foreword Youth is the fountainhead of exuberance, energy and dynamism and is the lifeline of our country. It is the youth who is going to take forward the legacy of our country and will help it gain new heights of growth and achievements. Therefore, it is very important to tap the unbridled vigor of our youth and give it a right direction. By effectively channelizing this energy, any nation can attain limitless heights and bring accolades to its country. If empowered, they have the potential to excel and do wonders. The youth just like flowers is an intricate part of any society and they have an important role to play. Any society is incomplete without the participation of young blood. In order to make a society progressive and dynamic, young people should be made an essential part of it. It is rightly said that ―today‘s youth is the force, hope and leaders of tomorrow‖ as they are the face of our community, society and country at large. Young people are a harbinger of change in society and can push our government or the system to discharge its role effectively. But our youth too has got important responsibilities to discharge. It is important for them to draw a lesson from the past, remain vigilant in the present and live with a hope of seeing a better future – a future which will be brighter and more promising for the coming generation. Our youth has a duty to fulfill, i.e. to remain genuine, honest and uphold good moral values. He/she should work unceasingly for the growth of our society and country. The youth should apply their brain, creativity, strength and skills to bring a meaningful change in our society and enable it to function in the best manner possible. It is our youth and only youth who can sow the seeds of growth and progress and become the backbone of the nation so that the foundation for a bright future based on principles and morals could be laid down. For all this to take shape, it is important that our youth concentrate on their studies first and educate themselves well because it is only education that will empower them and help them build the future of our country. Besides intellectual studies, physical education is also must because without a sound health they cannot have a sound mind. So if our youth will remain healthy, then they can put their best efforts in working for their country. In view of the above, a motivational talk by Dr. Prakash Amte was conducted for the enlightenment of the students of Dr. D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering Management & Research level on Youth Empowerment and Social Initiative. This session could mark the beginning of the success of our students with lots of positivity, learning, social empowerment and social guidance. Dr. Mrs. A.V. Patil, Principal Dr. D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering Management & Research 2 1. PROGRAMME Youth Empowerment is crucial for the qualitative growth and survival of any educational institution in today‘s globalized era. In accordance with this, it was decided by Shri. Satej D. Patil, Campus Chairman, Dr. D.Y. Patil Educational Complex, Akurdi and Col. S K Joshi, Campus Director, to organize a one day Youth Empowerment Programme for the students. Youth empowerment is a process where children and young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives. They do this by addressing their situation and then take action in order to improve their access to resources and transform their consciousness through their beliefs, values, and attitudes. Youth empowerment aims to improve quality of life. Youth empowerment is achieved through participation in youth empowerment programs. However scholars argue that children‘s rights implementation should go beyond learning about formal rights and procedures to give birth to a concrete experience of rights. There are numerous models that youth empowerment programs use that help youth achieve empowerment. A variety of youth empowerment initiatives are underway around the world. These programs can be through non-profit organizations, government organizations, schools or private organizations. Empowerment can be defined in general as the capacity of individuals, groups and/or communities gain control of their circumstances and achieve their own goals, thereby being able to work towards helping themselves and others to maximize the quality of their lives. In health and social care empowerment means patients, careers and service users exercising choice and taking control of their lives. Youth empowerment is different than youth development because development is centered on developing individuals, while empowerment is focused on creating greater community change relies on the development of individual capacity. Prakash Baba Amte is a social worker from Maharashtra, India. He and his wife, Dr. Mandakini Amte, were awarded the Magsaysay Award for 'Community Leadership' in 2008 for their philanthropic work in the form of the Lok Biradari Prakalp amongst the Madia Gonds in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra and the neighbouring states of Telangana and Madhya Pradesh. Prakashvata (Pathways to Light) is an autobiography of Amte. It was originally written in Marathi and is now translated into English, Gujarati and Kannada. Amte has penned down his experiences with his "wild friends" in a book titled Raanmitra (Jungle Friends). Dr. Prakash Amte has also been awarded the Padma Shri the fourth highest civilian award in the republic of India. The social work domain shares a close relationship with human rights because it adheres to values such as respect, dignity, and self-determination - values that are strongly embedded in the code of ethics for all practitioners. The profession is highly regarded for challenging the inhumane 3 treatment of vulnerable people, its commitment to challenge anti-oppressive practice, and most importantly, ensuring that vulnerable people are given a voice. The programme, hence, extensively dealt with youth empowerment through diversity, language, culture and traditions through social work and humanitarian deeds. OBJECTIVES 1. To imbibe innovative approaches to existing social and educational structures for better impact on the welfare and development of the youth 2. To encourage and support youth initiatives those foster the culture of volunteerism, social responsibility, creativity and self-actualization 3. To help them understand their aims in life 4. To enable them to prepare short term and long term goals for their personal and professional development 5. To boost their self-confidence 6. To help them in becoming a good human being 7. To make them understand the importance and need for youth empowerment 4 2. RESOURCE PERSONS 1. Dr. Prakash Amte & Dr. Mandakini Amte Dr. Prakash Baba Amte is the son of the legendary social worker Baba Amte whose work for the upliftment of leprosy afflicted has won him many accolades. On the completion of his doctor‘s degree,Dr. Amte began studying for his MS. But destiny had something else in store for him. While on a picnic to Hemalkasa with his father, he was aghast at seeing the state of the tribal people living in that region. Dropping his studies for the MS degree, Dr. Prakash decided to change their lives and moved to Hemalaksa along with his wife, Dr. Mandakini Amte. Hemalkasa was a small community of tribal people, with no power and transport facilities and totally cut out from the rest of the world. Notwithstanding the mountain of hardships that came their way, this doctor couple uplifted the lives of the Madia-Gond tribal community to an unthought-of level. The tribal community had no access to basic necessities. They were unaware of clothing their bodies, never knew what medical care was and followed hunting as the sole means of sustenance. They lived almost like savages. The selfless work of this couple brought them into the mainstream and in the process, several engineers, doctors, and teachers were nurtured by the duo. In the initial days, the doctor duo began treating the tribes people in a makeshift hospital, taught the kids beneath a tree and helped to reduce the day-to-day problems of the tribal people in the area. Their efforts for development of the region has borne rich fruits today with the 5 establishment of a hospital fitted with modern facilities, a residential school reaching out to hundreds of tribal children and the development of the ‗Animal Ark‘. Dr. Prakash Amte and his wife devoted their entire life for the betterment of the tribal people and local wildlife of the Gadchiroli region. They worked hard to bring awareness among the tribal people of the region, teaching them agricultural techniques and considerably reducing their dependence on hunting for survival. The absence of power did not deter them from performing several emergency surgical procedures and eventually, they got a hospital fitted with modern facilities. Though the couple was not trained to be veterinarians; they went beyond the ordinary and created the ‗Animal Ark‘ within their courtyard, providing a safe haven to deserted and injured animals. Dr. Prakash Amte‘s name easily ranks topmost among the popular persons of India. His social work reached out to the masses through the biopic titled ‗Dr. Prakash Baba Amte– The Real Hero‘ which was released in Marathi, Hindi, and English.

E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.

  • Institute of Town Planners, India Journal 12 X 3, July - September 2015
    Institute of Town Planners, India Journal 12 x 3, July - September 2015 Editorial The first paper in the series written by Ankita Singh on the theme ‘Better Health with Plants: A Forgotten Wisdom’ begins by pointing out that inadequate ventilation leads to poor air quality which could be the main reason for more pollutants getting indoors resulting in stressful life, depression, and less work efficiency. This study establishes that overall indoor air quality can be improved with the help of common houseplants. Plants can reduce toxic pollutants from outdoor as well as indoor sources by producing fresh air required for adequate ventilation. Species of plants have also been mentioned in this paper, which may represent a long term, low cost, and an attractive solution to reducing exposure to many contaminants and lifetime risks, and further improve work performance, life quality and welfare of citizen occupants of building. This study also shows that this is an important public health issue, especially as it promotes human health by increasing life expectancy in a more natural and sustainable way. The second paper focuses on the city as a contested place, a place marked by social and cultural conflicts. Appropriately titled ‘Place of Social and Cultural Diversity in Planning Theory’, this paper is written by Ashok Kumar. The author argues that cultural diversity has remained one of the core concerns of planning theory since the inception of the subject in early 1900’s. Theories of internal city structure emanating from the Chicago School of Urban Sociology made culture as the significant explanatory element of the growth of a city.

  • Aspects of Gond Astronomy1
    Aspects of Gond Astronomy1 M N Vahia1 and Ganesh Halkare2 1Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai 400 005 2Indrayani Colony, Amravati, 444 607 Summary: The Gond community is considered to be one of the most ancient tribes of India with a continuing history of several thousand years. They are also known for their largely isolated history which they have retained through the millennia. Several of their intellectual traditions therefore are a record of parallel aspects of human intellectual growth. It still preserves its original flavour and is not homogenised by later traditions of India. In view of this, they provide a separate window to the different currents that constitute contemporary India. In the present study, we summarise their mythology, genetics and script. We then investigate their astronomical traditions and try to understand this community through a survey of about 15 Gond villages spread over Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. We show that they have a distinctly different view of the skies from the conventional astronomical ideas which is both interesting and informative. We briefly comment on other aspects of their life as culled from our encounters with the members of the Gond community Introduction: Gonds are the largest of Indian tribes with a net population between 4 and 5 million spread over north Andhra Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra, eastern Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and western Orissa (Deogaonkar, 2007 p 14-17). While their precise history cannot be dated before 890 AD (Deogaonkar, 2007, p 37), their roots are certainly older. Origin of the Gonds Mehta (1984) has studied the Gonds from different perspectives and also their history and mythology in detail (Mehta, 1984, p 105 – 166).

  • Madia Language in Maharashtra, India
    Documentation of Madia Language in Maharashtra, India Final Project Report submitted to The German Association for Endangered Languages (Gesellschaft für bedrohte Sprachen) JUNE 2020 Dr. Manjiri Paranjape | Pune, India | [email protected] I. MADIA TRIBE AND LANGUAGE: GENERAL INTRODUCTION India is a multilingual and pluri-ethnic country. There are 121 major languages in India. Of these, 22 Indian languages as well as English are the official languages. In addition to this there are 1369 mother tongues and 1474 other unclassified languages.1 According to UNESCO’s online Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger (viewed on 28. 05. 2020), India has 197 endangered Languages. According to the Census conducted by the Government of India in 2011, over 104 million Tribal people constitute 8.6% of the nation’s total population. There are ca. 700 Scheduled Tribes, out of which 75 are primitive and particularly vulnerable tribal groups.2 ‘Madia’3 is a Primitive Tribe in Central India. Madias have been in existence for centuries in Central India together with other tribes such as Gond, Korku, Pardhan, Gowari, Halbi, Kolam etc. Today the Madias reside in the Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra State and in the Districts of Bastar, Narayanpur and Dantewadi of the Chattisgad State. As per the 2011 Census the total population of the Madias in Maharashtra and Chattisgad is 15, 864.4 The ‘Madia’ tribe is considered by some experts as a sub-tribe of ‘Gond’ and is also popularly known as ‘Madia Gond’. The term ‘Gond’ is however used for a number of different tribes in Central India.5 Hence the so called Madia Gonds use the self designation ‘Madia’ and believe in their independent identity.6 A number of subdivisions of Madias can be found in the related literature: Chota (small) Madia, Bada (big) Madia; Hill Madia, Bison Horn Madia etc.7 But, as yet, there hasn’t been enough research regarding these sub-divisions.
