Objectives are to implement an intervention that will raise awareness among women and youth, facilitate their access to both livelihood skill development activities and health services, and empower them to seek health care services in a timely way. Anjali and her team work towards connecting migrants with services, including reproductive health to which they are entitled but rarely avail. They also make efforts in sensitizing authorities regarding the needs of seasonal migrants. Anjali has used the fellowship to gain exposure to various community based organisations that address such issues as women's rights, reproductive health and migrant construction workers' needs and to develop her skills in programme design, implementation and evaluation. Paramita Chaudhary, Kolkatta, West Bengal Paramita Chaudhary has a Bachelor's degree in English from Calcutta University.

In the course of her research, Paramita has been conducting in-depth interviews in government and private facilities, with doctors, nurses, supervisors, administrators and others, both female and male, as well as monitoring bodies, in order to better understand the context of harassment in the workplace and the extent to which the health sector has implemented the Supreme Court Guidelines on sexual harassment. Findings will be disseminated to monitoring and implementing bodies and human rights groups; campaigns and development of advocacy materials are also envisaged to highlight and promote awareness of the issue. Paramita will use the fellowship to sharpen her qualitative research and advocacy skills as well as to gain exposure to sexual and reproductive health and rights issues more generally. P.

Saritha's project is located in a slum community in Mumbai and employs a cross-sectional, retrospective design, utilizing a blend of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Saritha will use the fellowship to further her research skills and in particular, her skills in translating research findings into action, developing evidence-based interventions and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. Vani Periodi, Beedu Village, Bantwal, Karnataka Vani Periodi has a Masters in Social Work and a B.A. from Mangalore University. She has been a Freelance Consultant involved in training, research, documentation, review and evaluation with regard to gender, education and panchayati raj. She has been associated with several organizations, including Mahila Samakhya Karnataka and the Swashakti project of the Government of Karnataka. Vani's project, entitled “Empowering Young Men And Women Towards Becoming Sensitive Partners And Responsible Parents,” focuses on identifying, among rural young females and males, perceptions of masculinity and femininity, sexual and reproductive issues and the ways in which these perceptions influence behaviours. Her insights are fed back to communities through a series of newsletters. Drawing on these insights, Vani is in the process of developing or adapting existing training materials intended to develop equitable gender norms and provide gender-sensitive sexuality education to youth. Once materials are prepared, they will be field-tested among young people. Finally, Vani will train trainers who will use these training modules among youth in project sites. Vani has used the fellowship to visit and learn from various community-based organisations that address sexual and reproductive health needs of, or that provide life skills education to, adolescents and plans also to expand her understanding of reproductive and sexual health.

Rajalakshmi's project, entitled “Informed Consent in Reproductive Health Services,” is a research study exploring consent issues among women seeking services for sterilization, IUD insertion and induced abortion from public and private health care institutions in Chennai. In the course of her research, Rajalakshmi has been documenting the practices, procedures and perspectives of women clients and providers relating to consent. Her study employs both qualitative and quantitative techniques. While ongoing, her project has already identified serious breaches in informed consent procedures. Findings are likely to highlight the need for increased accountability at provider level and increased focus on patient rights at the client level. In the course of her project, Rajalakshmi has taken a course on medical law and ethics at the National Law School of India University, Bangalore, that will enable her to better understand ethics and medico-legal issues related to reproductive health issues. She has attended or will attend a number of meetings and conferences relating to both ethics and reproductive health, including the IFFHR IWHC , National Bioethics Conference on Engendering Health and Human Rights, Mumbai.

  • Status of Women in Tamilnadu with Special Reference to Namakkal District
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology ISSN No : 1006-7930 STATUS OF WOMEN IN TAMILNADU WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NAMAKKAL DISTRICT Dr.G.Palanivel Assistant Professor Department of History Annamalai University Annamalai agar Deputed to Thiruvalluvar Government Arts College Rasipuram Tamilnadu India Abstract The status of women in India has been subject to many great changes over the past few millennia. From a largely unknown status in ancient times through the low points of the medieval period, to the promotion of equal rights by many reformers, the history of women in India has been eventful. For the purpose of understanding the changing position of women in India, it is essential for us to acquaint ourselves with the status and position of women in the ancient times, from the Vedic period down to the Nineteenth Century AD. A historical study of women in India reveals that there were distinct stages of rise and fall in her status. Empowering women entrepreneurs is essential for achieving the goals of sustainable development and the bottlenecks hindering their growth must be eradicated to entitle full participation in the business. Apart from training programs, Newsletters, mentoring, trade fairs and exhibitions also can be a source for entrepreneurial development. As a result, the desired outcomes of the business are quickly achieved and more of remunerative business opportunities are found. Henceforth, promoting entrepreneurship among women is certainly a short-cut to rapid economic growth and development. Let us try to eliminate all forms of gender discrimination and thus allow ‘women’ to be an entrepreneur at par with men.

  • A GIS Based Study on Land Evaluation in Rasipuram Block, Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu
    ISSN(Online) : 2319-8753 ISSN (Print) : 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 5, Issue 9, September 2016 A GIS Based Study on Land Evaluation in Rasipuram Block, Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu V. Emayavaramban1 Associate Professor, Department of Geography, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India.1 ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study is to identify an appropriate land suitable for cultivation in a scientific land evaluation manner. This kind of analysis gives a proper idea for the farmers to do the land management practices and helps to increase land productivity. A GIS based multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is used to achieve this objective to assess the suitable area for the cultivation of crops. Overlay analysis has generally taken the form of weighted overlay depending on our perspective. The main objective of weighted overlay is to calculate a new set of values for the complete coverage based on a combination of input values. This operation processes the complete data sets, so boundaries from all inputs layers will be retained. The study area taken for this study is Rasipuram block of Namakkal District. The District lies in the interior part of Tamil Nadu. The layer used in decision making system is soil parameters such as texture, production potential and climatic parameters such as rainfall, physical parameters such as drainage density, slope and geomorphology. All these layers are ranked properly based on the expert advice and literature then suitable weights are assigned to do the overlay analysis method to delineate suitability classes.
