    Binsar Diary

    1 Binsar diary Anil K Rajvanshi [email protected] 1. Binsar is a beautiful hill station in Almora district in State of Uttarakhand. It is inside a forest sanctuary and at an elevation of 2400 m above sea level. It is one of the highest hill stations in Kumaon region. From Almora it is about 35 kms distance and takes almost 1.5 hours to reach through winding narrow mountain roads. 2. We had gone to this place in October 2009. The route we took was from Bareilly to Binsar via Bhowali. I had to deliver a couple of lectures at Bareilly in Invertis Business School and thought would take this opportunity to visit the abode of lord Shiva. 3. I chose Binsar because one can see a huge range of Himalayas when there are no clouds. Obviously lord Shiva smiled on us and we were blessed with a clear view of the Himalayas during our stay. 4. The best place in Binsar to get a fantastic view of the Himalayan range is from the KMVN rest house situated at the end of the road inside the Binsar wildlife sanctuary. The terrace of this rest house provides an excellent view of Trishul, Nanda Devi (the 4th highest peak in the world) and Panchchuli peaks - an expanse of about 300-500 km of Himalayan range. The sky was absolutely clear and blue with hardly any trace of dust or haziness and the weather was pretty cold with temperature touching 6-70C in early morning. 5. The view from the KMVN rest house is fantastic and one gets a feeling that these beautiful snow clad peaks are just a few km away.

    NATIONAL CADET CORPS (NCC) एकता और अनुशासन Unity and Discipline

    jk"Vªh; dSMsV dksj NATIONAL CADET CORPS (NCC) एकता और अनुशासन Unity and Discipline The National Cadet Corps has its genesis in the University Corps which was created under the Indian Defence act 1917 with the object to make up the shortages of the army in 1920. When their Indian Territorial act was passed, the University Corps was replaced by the University Training Corps (UTC) in 1942. The University Training Corps was renamed as the University Officer Training Corps (UOTC). The need to create a youth organization at the national level, a committee under Pandit H.N. Kunzru was set up in 1946. Recombination of this community paved the way of formation of NCC. Thus the National Cadet Corps came into existence on 16the July, 1948 under the National Cadet Corps act XXXI of 1948 under the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The motto of NCC is Unity and Discipline. The authorized strength of Army and Navy wing in both campuses is 335. 210 cadets are in Army Wing and 125 cadets are in Naval wing (50 boys and 75 girls, only in DSB Campus). From last three years this campus was decorated by mixed battalion. Our cadets are actively participating in all state level and national camps. In Uttarakhand, there is only one unit of Naval Wing of NCC and it is situated in Nainital.

    Stay at 2 Different Locations at the Lap of Nature, Get Amazed by Pristine Beauty of the Uttrakhand Himalayas

    Stay at 2 different locations at the lap of nature, get amazed by pristine beauty of the Uttrakhand Himalayas. In the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, lies the pristine, almost unexplored region of Kumaon. Kumaon offers some of the most stunning scenery of the entire Himalayas in- cluding loftiest Himalayan peaks, oak and rhododendron jungles, terraced fields and fast moving rapids and rivers. Most importantly, Kumaon region is inhabit- ed by simple and pious people, who have been able to preserve their unique culture and tra- ditions in spite of the onslaught of the modern. Kumaon is also famous for its old temples, Jageshwar and Chitai, wildlife sanctuaries, Binsar and Corbett and hill stations, Almora, Bhimtal and Nainital.

    Multi-Dimensional Gendered Inequalities in Everyday Life

    UPHILL TASKS WITHIN KUMAON HIMALAYAN COMMUNITIES: Multi-dimensional Gendered Inequalities in Everyday Life SIDDHARTH SAREEN AND CELIE MANUEL This paper contributes an ethnographically informed understanding of multi-dimensional inequalities in rural mountainous communities through a gender lens that focuses on the roles women perform as biologically, culturally, economically and geographically marginalised actors. It is based on a four-month study in a rain-fed agricultural SPECIAL ISSUE region of the Kumaon Himalayas, and spans two districts of the Indian state of Uttarakhand with different farming profiles. The study employs qualitative methods to examine the impact of globalisation on women within changing rural contexts, identifying several crosscutting gender-related issues. Data analysis follows a grounded theory approach and reveals sets of intersecting inequalities which disadvantage these women, who are in vulnerable circumstances, through processes of globalisation that work in an exclusionary manner. By explaining these inequalities in a situated manner while emphasising their multi-dimensional nature, we present a nuanced account of women’s roles in these changing rural societies, and thus foreground the material conditions of gender difference in everyday life. Keywords: Kumaon Himalayas, intersecting inequalities, inclusive development, rainfed agriculture, gender, vulnerability 43 he objective of this article is best explained which favoured big commercial farmers in the plains within the historical context of gender and
