Rabindranath Tagore's Model of Rural Reconstruction: a Review
[ VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 4 I OCT.– DEC. 2018] E ISSN 2348 –1269, PRINT ISSN 2349-5138 Rabindranath Tagore’s Model of Rural Reconstruction: A review Dr. Madhumita Chattopadhyay Assistant Professor in English, B.Ed. Department, Gobardanga Hindu College (affiliated to West Bengal State University), P.O. Khantura, Dist- 24 Parganas North, West Bengal, PIN – 743273. Received: July 07, 2018 Accepted: August 17, 2018 ABSTRACT Rabindranath Tagore’s unique venture on rural reconstruction at Silaidaha-Patisar and at Sriniketan was a pioneering work carried out by him with the motto of the wholesome development of the community life of village people through education, training, healthcare, sanitation, modern and scientific agricultural production, revival of traditional arts and crafts and organizing fairs and festivities in daily life. He believed that through self-help, self-initiation and self-reliance, village people will be able to help each other in their cooperative living and become able to prepare the ground work for building the nation as an independent country in the true sense. His model of rural reconstruction is the torch-bearer of so many projects in independent India. His principles associated with this programme are still relevant in the present day world, but is not out of criticism. The need is to make critical analysis and throw new lights on this esteemed model so that new programmes can be undertaken based on this to achieve ‘life in its completeness’ among rural population in India. Keywords: Rural reconstruction, cooperative effort, community development. Introduction Rathindranath Tagore once said, his father was “a poet who was an indefatigable man of action” and “his greatest poem is the life he has lived”. -
Public Health Research Series
UNIVERSITY Public Health Research Series 2012 Vol.1, Issue 1 School of Public Health I Preface “A scientist writes not because he wants to say something, but because he has something to say” – F. Scott Fitzgerald The above quote more or less summarizes the essence of this publication. The School of Public Health, SRM University takes great pride and honor in bringing out the first of its Public Health Research Series, a compilation of research papers by the bright and intelligent students of the school. The Series has come out to provide a platfrom for sharing of research work by students and faculty in the field of publuc health. The studies reported in this Series are small pilot projects with scope for scaling up in larger scale to address important public health issues in India. They come from diverse settings spanning the length and breadth of the country, neighboring countries like Nepal and Bhutan, diverse linguistic, cultural and socio economic backgrounds. Some of the projects have generated important hypothesis for further testing, some have done qualitative exploration of interesting concepts and yet others have tried to quantify certain constructs in public health. This book is organized into a set of 25 full reports and 5 briefs. The full reports give an elaborate description of the study objectives, methods and findings with interpretations and discussions of the authors. The briefs are unstructured concept abstracts. The studies were done by the students of the school of public health as their term project under the guidance of the faculty mentors to whom they were assigned at the time of enrolment into the course. -

Established in 1947, on the 27th day of November, the college has moved through diverse terrains of history, politics and culture. A few months after independent India was born, it is said that a number of eminent, inspired and energetic academicians moved from Daulatpur College (located in the Khulna district of present Bangladesh and once part of the Jessore district of undivided Bengal) to Gobardanga with the promise of spreading the light of knowledge therein. Very few prominent educational institutions were then found to exist in the neighbourhood of Gobardanga. The Khantura Boys’ School was one such premiere institution. The notable teachers and scholars of Daulatpur College began taking their first classes in the premise of Khantura Boys’ School. The science department (including a small laboratory and office) was set up in the charitable clinic of Harinarayan Rakshit. The journey thus began amidst crises but that was soon overcome. The keenness of the educators urged various people from different castes and sects of the vicinity to come forward with their significant contributions. The Mukherjees of Gobardanga- the wealthy landlords donated part of the land on which the college stands today. -
A Case Study of Kolkata, India
Sustainable Development and Planning IX 815 BIODIVERSITY ACCOUNTING OF CITIES: A CASE STUDY OF KOLKATA, INDIA SOUPORNI PAUL & SUCHANDRA BARDHAN Department of Architecture, Jadavpur University, India ABSTRACT The link between urban development and its impact on the environment is always debatable. The effects of urbanization on Indian cities have mostly resulted in the loss of natural ecosystems and deterioration of the urban environment. Biodiversity, as a significant parameter of an urban ecosystem, is essential for human society because of the goods and services it provides. UNEP’s foresight report links biodiversity with urban sustainability and resilience, identifying it as one of the issues of ‘The 21 Issues of 21st Century’ under the section of food, biodiversity and land issues, which seems particularly important in the context of countries with developing economies. Since biodiversity conservation cannot happen in isolation, the ecological performance of urban areas with respect to biodiversity assumes high significance. In light of the IUCN Aichi Biodiversity Targets, the need for benchmarking the urban biodiversity status of the city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) in eastern India was, thus, strongly felt. A baseline study would also be a logical starting point for the adoption of a robust biodiversity strategy and action plan for Kolkata. This paper presents such an assessment, using the City Biodiversity Index as a tool, based on qualitative as well as quantitative approaches to acquire quantitative data on the populations of key biodiversity indicators. It also attempts to benchmark the current scenario for future conservation efforts and evaluate progress in the arresting rate of biodiversity loss in the city. -

Family, School and Nation
Family, School and Nation This book recovers the voice of child protagonists across children’s and adult literature in Bengali. It scans literary representations of aberrant child- hood as mediated by the institutions of family and school and the project of nation-building in India in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The author discusses ideals of childhood demeanour; locates dissident children who legitimately champion, demand and fight for their rights; examines the child protagonist’s confrontations with parents at home, with teachers at school and their running away from home and school; and inves- tigates the child protagonist’s involvement in social and national causes. Using a comparative framework, the work effectively showcases the child’s growing refusal to comply as a legacy and an innovative departure from analogous portrayals in English literature. It further reviews how such childhood rebellion gets contained and re-assimilated within a predomi- nantly cautious, middle-class, adult worldview. This book will deeply interest researchers and scholars of literature, espe- cially Bengali literature of the renaissance, modern Indian history, cultural studies and sociology. Nivedita Sen is Associate Professor of English literature at Hans Raj College, University of Delhi. Her translated works (from Bengali to English) include Rabindranath Tagore’s Ghare Baire ( The Home and the World , 2004) and ‘Madhyabartini’ (‘The In-between Woman’) in The Essential Tagore (ed. Fakrul Alam and Radha Chakravarty, 2011); Syed Mustafa Siraj’s The Colo- nel Investigates (2004) and Die, Said the Tree and Other Stories (2012); and Tong Ling Express: A Selection of Bangla Stories for Children (2010). She has jointly compiled and edited (with an introduction) Mahasweta Devi: An Anthology of Recent Criticism (2008). -
