For us that was the period of passing through the upheaval caused by the closure of the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme (the basis of founding Eklavya) and the subsequently evolved Social Studies Programme. Today we can claim that we have emerged from those difficult times with the determination and will to explore new programmes and new directions. One of the major tasks before us in 2004-05 was the construction of Eklavya’s first own campus in Hoshangabad. The construction work began in October, 2004 and continued without let for the whole year. Secondly, we tried to draw up a road map for Eklavya for the coming ten years by brainstorming about our long-term aims, objectives and tasks, and the strategy to accomplish these. Thirdly, we made intensive efforts to augment our person power in view of the ongoing and emerging tasks. In addition, financial support was obtained from different sources for five new tasks and those emerging from ongoing tasks. These tasks are: publication of a fortnightly wall paper on Science and Technology (Kyon aur Kaise) for the students of High Schools, Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges; expansion of the Publications Programme and strengthening of the Library Programme; production of a multimedia CD for science education; organizing community libraries; and supporting efforts of total school transformation. During the previous year, we worked in collaboration with many groups for evolving curricula and curricular material. One of these initiatives was the work done with Vidya Bhawan Society, Udaipur and Digantar, Jaipur for evolving a long-term plan of educational development for the state of Chhatisgarh. We participated in the process of developing a curriculum for a post-graduate course in Education to be started from July, 2006. Members and Resource Persons of Eklavya participated in the Focus Groups constituted by the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) for the formulation of the new National Curricular Framework. They were also associated with the development of the curriculum for school drop-out boys and girls undertaken by ‘Doosra Dashak’ in Rajasthan. During the last few years, we were engaged in giving shape to a programme of total ‘ Teacher and School Development Programme’. As a part of this initiative, three teacher training programmes were organized this year, one each in Bhopal, Hoshangabad and Indore and a programme of year-round monthly meetings was put in place. Intensive work has been started in five schools in Bhopal in this context. Programmes like Children's activities and Publications, aimed at taking educational activities beyond the curriculum directly to children, continued at their regular pace. In this report we have tried to share with you a critical description of all the above tasks. Each of our earlier two reports was a combined report of the work done over a period of three preceding years. While preparing the last report, we had decided that, in future, we would place before you, a report every year. This effort is now before you. 5 EKLAVYA Annual Report 2004-2005 PROGRAMMES OF TEACHER DEVELOPMENT 1. Efforts with the teachers of Upper Primary Schools Since 2001 we have been working, under the Social Studies Programme, with those teachers of upper primary schools who were willing to volunteer to bring about a qualitative change in the teaching-learning process in the classroom. After the closure of the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme in 2002, we started this effort with the science teachers of the upper primary schools as well.. In the beginning, the two programmes ran parallel according to the demands of the respective subjects. But this year we tried to evolve a common and comprehensive package, based upon our broad understanding of education, by weaving together the common aspects of the two programmes. This package is aimed at placing before the teacher, an understanding of education in its totality. Details of work done as a part of this effort are given below. (a) Summer Teacher Training The summer training organized by Eklavya has a catalytic effect upon our work and our relationship with teachers/schools. In the beginning of this academic year, an intensive, residential training programme was conducted from 25thMay to 3rd June, 2004 in the Navodaya Vidyalaya at Pawarkheda near Hoshangabad. Academic preparation This year, in place of separate trainings for Science and Social Studies, a core training programme was planned for the first seven days. This was followed by three- days of subject-specific programmes. The teachers were given the freedom to attend the classes of their choice during these three days. Based upon a demand from the teachers, short sessions of reading-understanding English were also arranged. The Academic Group consisted of Resource Persons from Holkar Science College, Indore, Delhi University, Bharat Gyan Vigyan Samiti, WIPRO, etc. Concepts included in the Core Training were: 1. Method of Science – Grouping and Classification 2. Method of Science – Some experiments related to photosynthesis 3. Organic evolution 4. Measurement 5. Mathematics – Place Value and Number System 6. Map 7. Nation and Nationalism – Concept and history 8. Indian National Movement – Long-term strategy 9. Gender concept and its importance in the school context 10. Preamble to the Constitution of India 6 EKLAVYA Annual Report 2004-2005 Besides the above, the separate subjects for Social Studies and Science were: 1. System of Administration during the Mughal period 2. Human life on mountains, plateaus and plains 3. Fundamental Rights 4. Electrical charge and electric current 5. Carbon and its compounds 6. Force 7. Leaves 8. Systems of the body The training sessions on Carbon, Organic Evolution, Gender, and Scientific method through photosynthesis experiments, were documented in detail. Attendance Owing to personal reasons and government orders not to leave the headquarters, the number of participating teachers kept fluctuating till the last moment. Nevertheless, 115 teachers from Harda, Hoshangabad, Ujjain, Dhar, Dewas and Narsinghpur districts and other organizations took part in the training. Resource Persons and Eklavya members numbered 48. Table 1 shows the region-wise break-up of participating teachers. These teachers, who had come at the invitation of Eklavya participated with wholehearted enthusiasm in different sessions for seven to eight hours every day and in

  • The Guptas and the Vakatakas
    THE GUPTAS AND THE VAKATAKAS • After the fall of the Maurya Empire, the Kushans in the North and the Satavahanas in the Deccan emerged as the two major political powers. • They not only brought political unity and economic prosperity to these regions, but were also great stabilizing forces in their respective areas. • Around c. 230 CE, the Kushans’ reign ultimately came to an end in northern India, and a considerable part of its empire came under the suzerainty of the Murundas (possibly kinsmen of the Kushans). • The Murundas ruled for a short time span of about 25−30 years. • This was the Gupta Empire, which kept northern India politically united for more than a century. • The Guptas are believed to be feudatories of the Kushans. They are most likely Vaishyas in origin, and they ruled over fertile parts of the madhyadesha, that is, anuganga (the middle Gangetic basin), saketa (modern Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh), and Magadha (mostly Bihar). • Prayag (modern Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh) was probably their important centre of power, which, due to its strategic location, further aided in the expansion of the empire. • The Guptas could easily exploit the iron ore deposits of central India and southern Bihar, and also took advantage of their proximity to the areas of north India which carried on silk trade with the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman empire). • ‘Garuda’ was probably their state seal. • Historians often consider the Gupta period as the ‘Golden age’ of India’s past as it is often remembered for certain key classical features, such as • The political unification of a large part of the subcontinent under a mostly centralised government.

  • Madhya Pradesh
    Madhya Pradesh State (pop., 2008 est.: 69,279,000), central India.
