Faculty Development Programme on DCE Optional Paper: Travel Writing Convener: Monica Zutshi
A one‐day Faculty Development Programme on the newly introduced Discipline Centred Elec ve op onal paper in the BA(H) English III year syllabus en tled Travel Wri ng was organized by the English Department, Kalindi College, University of Delhi in associa on with the IQAC on 6th April 2019. There were five eminent speakers who spoke on various aspects of the paper, addressing a gathering of 55 par cipants, all teachers from different ins tu ons. Of the par cipants, 14 were affiliated to Kalindi College, 31 to other colleges affiliated to University of Delhi, 2 were from Aligarh Muslim University, 2 from Kumaon University, 4 from Sharda University, and 1 par cipant each from IIT Delhi and Galgo a's University. All sessions were followed by perspicacious discussions about various aspects of Travel Wri ng in the texts under study, and how it intersected with diverse disciplines such as History, Historiography, Sociology, Philosophy, Religion, Cultural Studies, Post colonialism, Na onalism, Cartography, etc. The first session was on 'Wri ng Ci es: Introduc on to Travel Wri ng and Travelogy' where Dr. Arup K. Cha erjee poe cally spoke about travel wri ng as a genre which looked at spaces within the consciousness as well as the spaces traversed outside. He also explained his hypothesis about travelogy. Dr. Antara Da a took up the second session with her presenta on en tled 'Medieval Islamic Journeys: Al Biruni and Ibn Ba uta', in which she contextualized the two medieval travel writers. She argued for their wri ngs being seen as part of a larger tradi on of Islamic medieval wri ng of the Golden Era, characterized by the gathering knowledge within the medieval Islamic world of “Dar ul Islam” and the 'rihla' tradi ons, thus challenging the Western hegemonic perspec ve of seeing the medieval era as part of the dark ages. In her presenta on on Rahul Sankrityayan, 'Of Maps, Migra ons, Miscegena on: Volga se Ganga as Travel Wri ng', Dr. Maya Joshi eloquently spoke of the independent, cri cal mind of the prolific, maverick writer who is best known as the Father of Travel Wri ng in Hindi Literature. She argued for the staunch cosmopolitan no ons that Sankrityayan stood for, emphasizing the need to read the prescribed text within the larger context of his wri ngs. Dr. Anjana Sharma's paper 'A Woman of Observa on: Gender, Travel and Roman cism in Mary Wollstonecra 's Le ers Wri en during a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway and Denmark' impressed upon the audience the need to examine the context of Wollstonecra 's context, biographical as well as historical. She also encouraged teachers to adopt a more inquisi ve strain of pedagogy, rather than simply teaching texts in an examina on‐oriented, instrumental manner. In the last session of the day, Dr. Anjana Neira Dev in her presenta on 'Traveling across Time and Space: William Dalrymple in The City of Djinns' offered a cross‐textual study of Dalrymple's early and later books on the theme of travel with the main focus on The City of Djinns as a fascina ng and informa ve book on the history of Delhi, its various shi ing capitals, myths, and legends. The Faculty Development Programme concluded with Dr. Anjana Neira Dev distribu ng cer ficates to all the par cipants.

Enactus Kalindi, opera ve since 2017, aims at eradica ng various social issues which weaken the founda on of our country, also it aims at empowering each and every community of our country. 'Enactus Kalindi' in associa on with Social responsibility Cell (SRC) of our college commenced its first project named as REHMAT – which means BLESSINGS, which we shower upon the manual scavenging community by rehabilita ng them to another profession by impar ng different kind of skills to them. Project Rehmat has a mission to create a na on where a person does not die for a living. Manual scavengers across the na on remove human and animal excreta from the streets and dry latrine, cleaning sep c tanks, sewers and gu ers. This inhuman occupa on has been banned by the cons tu on for the past 13 years but it is s ll being prac ced on a large scale. Earlier, by doing an illegal and dehumanizing act they faced several dignity issues and because of which, they hesitated to talk to other people. This was the biggest challenge for us to talk to them and convince them to unfollow this prac ce and adopt a new profession. For this we provide them KIT JEEVAN which includes basic necessi es required for entering into a sewer on a 3 months basis and during this period they also get an opportunity to learn a new skill and rehabilitate to a different profession such as employing those manual scavengers in factories as skilled labour. We have been able to rehabilitate 12 manual scavengers. We have targeted the women of scavenging community by conver ng them to self‐sustained entrepreneurs, engaging them into the business of soap making. We have been able to create 3 women entrepreneurs from that community last year but now we have added 9 more women in the same category.
In 2018, Social Responsibility Cell (SRC) came up with a new project named WERAN. It aims at the upli ment of farming community by educa ng them about the new and organic farming prac ces which they weren't aware about. Through this project we have targeted both men and women of farming community by empowering and crea ng awareness among them about the current scenario prevailing in the country. Also, we aimed at increasing their incomes by making them aware about feasible farming prac ces and alert them about the vicious cycle of intermediaries or middlemen. It will also be a difficult task to convince farmers of the iden fied areas to work towards the cul va on of organic fruits and vegetables and the abolishment of intermediaries and se ng up a direct connec on with the customers.
ACHIEVEMENTS 'Enactus Kalindi' par cipated in the biggest compe on of Enactus India, Enactus Na onal Championship 2018 and secured 4th posi on, winning league 1. The Enactus Na onal Championship 2018 witnessed par cipa on of 98 teams from different parts of India. In 2019, we have presented REHMAT in the Kamla Nehru College in Commcentric‐ the commerce associa on and also in Rotaract event of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce and secured second posi on in both the events. We have also par cipated in the campaign STOP KILLING US headed by Mr. Bezwada Wilson, who is working towards complete eradica on of manual scavenging. Enactus Kalindi also par cipated in case study compe on at Sulabh Interna onal‐ museum of toilets and also showcase the soaps made by our created women entrepreneurs in the event.
FUTURE PROSPECTS In Rehmat, we aim at increasing our produc on of soaps and crea ng more and more women entrepreneurs and rehabilita ng more manual scavengers and thus save more lives. In Weran, we aim at conver ng the women entrepreneurs of farming community by engaging them in the business of making pickles and jams.
About CDF Connec ng Dreams Founda on (CDF), Kalindi College chapter, opera ve since March 2017, aims at upli ing the underprivileged sec on of the society through entrepreneurial ventures and ac ons that bring a ray of hope in the lives of poor people. CDF Kalindi in associa on with the Social Responsibility Cell ini ated Project Kilkari in September 2017 with a goal to make every child rise and shine bright like a diamond. Under project Kilkari, the children living on streets are chosen by the R&D team, their families are counseled about the importance of educa on and they are then admi ed to the nearest government and private schools under 'Right to Educa on'. However, taking into considera on the increasing dropout rates, a KILKARI pathshala was introduced to make every child compa ble enough to be able to read and write. A Kilkari pathshala in the Sewa Bhar centres of Todapur and Inderpuri with a strength of around 40 kids is being conducted every 4 days in a week where a team of volunteers teach main subjects like English, Maths, Hindi and EVS/GK/Moral Science to make the base of a child even stronger.
A variety of science experiments like making a water filter, hot air burning experiment have been conducted in the centres in the past months.Children have been taught tough topics such as parts of a leaf and flower along with leaf pain ng. They were also made to pronounce it so that they could add new words to their vocabulary. The Social Responsibility Cell has also started to take climate issues into account in the advance curriculum. Phenomenon such as Global Warming and Climate Change have been introduced, posters to reduce Global Warming were drawn and ps on how to save planet Earth were delivered by the volunteers. Another interes ng topic 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle' was taught to the kids by making useful things out of waste material. The session helped to develop the crea ve skills of children and they came up with brilliant ideas to reuse old things.
A workshop on 'Child Sexual Abuse' was also conducted on 7 February to educate children about good touch and bad touch, emergency helpline number was given and other remedies that can be taken in such a situa on were experienced. In science, a Solar System model was taught to the kids by assigning each child a role of a planet that revolves around sun. This li le act helped them to understand how planets revolve around sun and celes al bodies in the solar system. A fun session, full of inquisi ve children, they made bookmarks and enjoyed it. Another cra ac vity, 'gree ng card' making was held in the centres with an aim to let the kids realise that wishing people on their birthdays is a good gesture and the best present which is always priceless is a gree ng card. A Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was recently conducted in the Inderpuri centre which was u erly successful. The kids were so enthusias c and passionate, they cleaned the nearby roads in presence of our volunteers and a message of 'Clean India, Green India' was promoted amongst them. In moral science, a session to teach 'moral values' was organised by showing small video clips on a laptop. This facilitated children to take interest in the topic and promoted e learning as well. Now, following the Pulwama A ack, Pathshala students were informed how our brave soldiers protect our motherland and how to stand against terrorism.
Thus, a er much determina on and hardwork, Kilkaripathshala with the help of 16 volunteers has successfully been able to make a posi ve impact on the lives of more than 120 una ended children living on the streets, deprived of even their basic right‐ 'Educa on'. The team has been able to iden fy at least 70 children who do not go to school in Faridpuri, Patel Nagar and the future plan in Project Kilkari is to admit at least 100 children living on streets, deprived of educa on into schools and fulfil the Sustainable Development Goal 4 i.e. access to Educa on. A er all, every child is a rainbow willing to shine bright!
In October 2018, the Social Responsibility Cell came up with yet another new project, Project UNNATI with a tagline “anndaan jeevandaan” which is a fight against hunger and the team aims to eradicate hunger problem in the city to save hundreds of those who go to bed hungry and can't even afford a one full me nutri ous meal. As a part of ini al solu on, the team organised food dona on camps in college in October to minimize food wastage and at the same me feed it to hungry people. The team also used le over food and fed it to those for whom it's a blessing in disguise. The team was able to feed at least 100 people in a week from the food dona on camp and by reusing le over food.
The second phase in Project Unna focuses exclusively on feeding nutri ous food to needy people. Hence, the SRC came up with an idea to provide one full me nutri ous meal @₹5 only to respect the dignity of needy people. In order to proceed with the plan, the team organised surveys in Rajendra Place and Kir Nagar in January and February by selling one full me nutri ous meal @₹5 to analyse the market expecta ons and sustainability of the idea. To the team's surprise, the surveys were u erly successful and the team was able to feed at least 100 people on a single day. Till now, Project Unna has been able to feed nutri ous food to at least 500 people who would have rather been to bed hungry. Since the delicious yet nutri ous meal has to be cooked by an individual, the SRC has employed one woman who work as chef in the Unna Bhojanalaya.
The future plan in the project is to fix a menu for nutri ous meals and ensure the hygiene aspect of the food cooked by providing professional training to the woman employed. Team SRC is also working to replicate the model in other areas of Delhi so that nutri ous food can reach to those who lack it. Project Unna is on a mission to achieve the three E's, Elimina ng Hunger, Employment and Empowerment and it is a journey just begun with millions of smiles to achieve!

Pravah College Magazine Convener: Ms. Monica Zutshi Co-Convener: Ms. Rekha Meena
Editorial Board: English Section: Ms. Monica Zutshi (In charge), Ms. Sneha Sawai, Mr. Sushrut Bhatia; Hindi Section: Ms. Rekha Meena (In charge), Ms. Ritu, Dr. Brahmanand; Sanskrit Section: Dr. Deshraj (In charge), Dr. Manju Lata, Mr. Vishvajeet; Dr. Kalpana Kumari (Botany), Dr. Sanavar Soham (Botany), Dr. Arunjit (Botany) and Mr. Pankaj Sambhyal (Computer Science).
Pravah is the trilingual student magazine published by the college and released on Annual Day. Published in English, Hindi and Sanskrit, it provides students a medium of expression and showcases their preoccupa ons, thoughts and feelings, both through wri ng and their art work. Furthermore, the magazine also gives space to the photographs of the events and ac vi es that the college organises throughout the year. The theme of Pravah this year is “The Impact of Social Media”. This topic is relevant to one and all, and to our students par cularly. Students have seen and imbibed the internet since they were born and the use of social media is especially ubiquitous for the youth of today. With the prolifera ng of various social media pla orms, both communica on and expression through them have become a ma er of course. Through many pla orms we find that the youth are able to speak their mind and share their thoughts and feelings openly with others. They are able to know and connect with others who are like minded and can help to bring further posi ve changes at a much bigger scale and at a much more rapid pace. These pla orms also bring hope that in spite of a large number of important issues jostling for space, we can find enough people to take up cudgels for those that are closest to their heart. Social media pla orms are also seen as a possibility for the flourishing of a true democra c spirit in which a diversity of viewpoints can be debated. However, there are disadvantages that are also concomitant with the use of social media. Dishonesty, insecurity, a destruc ve compe ve streak, stalking, shaming, trolling, rumour mongering, hate speech and mobiliza on of violence against groups are some of the more reprehensible effects of the use of social media. Since the booking of culprits is not always easy, those who use social media in order to spread nega vity o en find the freedom to spew the worst of their thoughts without responsibility, do so with impunity. Hence those using these pla orms must also be vigilant. No publica on is the work of an individual; we have a number of colleagues and students to thank for their contribu on. We are grateful to our Principal, Dr. Anula Maurya for her support and encouragement. We also appreciate the hard work put in by the en re team of student editors: Shriya Bajpai and Bhavya Srivastava, both from III BA(H) English (English Sec on), Priyanka, Mahima and Nidhi Tomar, all from III BA(H) Hindi (Hindi Sec on), and Deepika Bidlan, III BA(H) Sanskrit, and Nikita Sanskrit and Shri Mishra Sanskrit, both from II BA(H) Sanskrit (Sanskrit Sec on).

The Biochemical Society organized an Invited Talk on 10th October 2018 in the college Auditorium, “Sangam Parisar”. Dr. G. S. Sodhi, Associate Professor at Chemistry Department and Forensic Science Unit, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi‐110007 was our invited guest for the talk. Dr. Sodhi delivered a lecture on 'Role of Forensic Chemistry in processing Crime Scene Evidence'.
“It may be claimed that there is no more effec ve deterrent to crime than the certainty of detec on. Equally true is that there is no surer way of establishing iden ty than by fingerprints. The detec on of latent fingerprints at the scene of crime and their subsequent development is therefore one of the most powerful tools available in casework inves ga ons. The fingerprints found at the scene of crime or an ar cle removed from it are formed when the papillary ridges leave a deposit of perspira on on a surface with which the finger has been brought into contact. The cons tuents of sweat may be selec vely fixed by different chemical reagents so as to make the latent prints visible. Novel chemical composi ons for detec ng latent fingerprints on crime scene evidence were described in the presenta on given by him. This was followed by a few case studies which highlight the importance of scien fic methods in solving crime cases”.
This lecture was very beneficial for the students of Botany, Chemistry as well as Zoology who want to work for the country in rela on to inves ga ng crime and pursue their careers in this sensi ve area. Students as well as teachers were very enthusias c for the lecture and par cipated ac vely.

Department of Zoology further going to organize an Interna onal Conference on “Changing Environment: Understanding the Emerging Challenges and their Management Strategies” in associa on with Department of Zoology, University of Delhi, scheduled from 10‐12 April 2019, at Conference Centre University of Delhi. The main aim of this conference is to create awareness towards changes in the environment, which can be either invasive or innocuous, result in a need for adapta on by the bio c world. These changes can be the a ermath of natural disasters or human interference which ini ate a chain of events, that affec ng diversity and sustainability and threatened the environment. Scien sts and policy makers have been largely succeeding in iden fying the causes of these changes. It is the mi ga on and management that needs to be stressed upon. The animal and plant world is showing alarming signs of ex nc on, loss of diversity, changes in popula on and behaviour among other devia ons in response to the loss of habitat, encroachment, changing clima c condi ons such as temperature and pollu on. The human world faces the greatest threat of all as their healthy survival is dependent on the environment around but which is increasingly becoming more hazardous. The environment itself being dynamic responds to detrimental changes which can poten ally be. Although world wide effort is on to alleviate these catastrophic changes but the problem looms large as newer challenges are thrown up constantly such as micro plas cs, management of e‐waste, even waste from space. This conference aims to provide a pla orm to discuss, share and debate on the strategies to an cipate, confront and manage these challenges.
