Kudaisya Member Secretary vi JNU Annual Report 2012-13 THE LEGEND ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES AND ADMISSIONS UNIVERSITY BODIES t-us-fo- JNU The Legend A university stands for humanism, for tolerance, for reason, for the adventure of ideas and for the search of truth. It stands for the onward march of the human race towards ever higher objectives. If the universities discharge their duties adequately, then it is well with the Nation and the People. This visionary statement by the first Prime Minister of Independent India on the occasion of the diamond jubilee of Allahabad University on 13 December, 1947, reflects the great importance that Jawaharlal Nehru attached to university education in India. He firmly believed that universities could play a crucial role in shaping and strengthening the life of a nation by inculcating in their students the cardinal values in which he believed. As a fitting tribute to his vision, Jawaharlal Nehru University was established in 1966 under the JNU Act, 1966 (53 of 1966). As a further mark of respect, the University was formally inaugurated by the late Sh. V. V. Giri, the then President of India, on the birthday of Panditji on 14 November 1969, which also coincided with the birth centenary year of Mahatma Gandhi. The University’s objectives are: to disseminate and advance knowledge wisdom and understanding, by teaching and research; and by the example and influence of its corporate life to promote the study of the principles for which Jawaharlal Nehru worked during his life-time, namely national integration, social justice, secularism, democratic way of life, international understanding and a scientific approach to the problems of society. Towards this end, the University was entrusted with the task of: ● fostering the composite culture of India through the establishment of such departments or institutions as may be required for the study and development of the languages, arts and culture of India; ● taking special measures to encourage students and teachers from all over India to participate in its academic programmes; ● promoting an awareness and understanding of the social needs of the country in the students and teachers and preparing them to fulfil these needs; ● making special provision for integrated courses in humanities as well as science and technology in its educational programmes; ● taking appropriate measures for promoting interdisciplinary studies; ● establishing such departments or institutions as may be necessary for the study of the languages, literature and life of foreign countries with a view to inculcating in the students an international understanding and a holistic perspective; and ● providing facilities for students and teachers from various countries to participate in its academic programmes and activities. The uniqueness of JNU is evident from its basic philosophy, policies and programmes which are spelt out and embodied in the University Act. Accordingly, the University has always striven to evolve such policies and programmes of study as would be a qualitative and distinct addition to the national resource base in higher education instead of reflecting mere quantitative expansions of the existing facilities. The University thus has been concentrating on programmes that are of relevance to national progress and development. In this regard, the University has taken the following initiatives: ● A conscious effort has been made to promote ideas of national integration, secularism, a scientific outlook, a cosmopolitan and a humanistic approach towards life. ● The national character of the University has been maintained by selecting students and faculty from all regions of the country. JNU Annual Report 2012-13 1 ● An interdisciplinary approach to teaching and research has been promoted in recognition of the fact that knowledge is indivisible and, accordingly, a structure of Schools and Centres of teaching has been established. ● The emphasis on teaching and research in

    DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN INDIA DISASTER MANAGEMENT 2011 This book has been prepared under the GoI-UNDP Disaster Risk Reduction Programme (2009-2012) DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN INDIA Ministry of Home Affairs Government of India c Disaster Management in India e ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The perception about disaster and its management has undergone a change following the enactment of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The definition of disaster is now all encompassing, which includes not only the events emanating from natural and man-made causes, but even those events which are caused by accident or negligence. There was a long felt need to capture information about all such events occurring across the sectors and efforts made to mitigate them in the country and to collate them at one place in a global perspective. This book has been an effort towards realising this thought. This book in the present format is the outcome of the in-house compilation and analysis of information relating to disasters and their management gathered from different sources (domestic as well as the UN and other such agencies). All the three Directors in the Disaster Management Division, namely Shri J.P. Misra, Shri Dev Kumar and Shri Sanjay Agarwal have contributed inputs to this Book relating to their sectors. Support extended by Prof. Santosh Kumar, Shri R.K. Mall, former faculty and Shri Arun Sahdeo from NIDM have been very valuable in preparing an overview of the book. This book would have been impossible without the active support, suggestions and inputs of Dr. J. Radhakrishnan, Assistant Country Director (DM Unit), UNDP, New Delhi and the members of the UNDP Disaster Management Team including Shri Arvind Sinha, Consultant, UNDP.

    Fiction | 'The Crow-Flight of the New York Times' by Prabhakar Singh

    Fiction | ‘The Crow-flight of The New York Times’ by Prabhakar Singh Ruchir often spent his quiet summer vacations in Darbhanga, the place of his maternal grandparents. It was on a hot and dusty midsummer day of 2020 that he laid his hands on the decomposing paperback, Maila Anchal, tucked in a forgotten corner of his uncle’s bookshelf dug into the thick walls of the first floor. Ruchir turned the pages holding the book in his left hand. Broken into two halves at its spine, the novel had soiled pages with occasional holes and dog-ears. He looked at the book for a whole minute and thought of stitching and pasting the spine back into the book. A gust of wind laden with a green scent of the leaves washed in last night’s rain came through the grove of Mango trees from his grandparent’s garden. A few of the pages from the middle scattered around the low-floor bed. “Was Phanishwar Nath Renu born in Darbhanga, Maa?” “I don’t know. Come eat. Keep questions for your Grandpa.” Toshi, their meek dog, ran about the garden after a squirrel. Toshi was lazy, and liked to keep a low profile. Tired by his small pursuits, Toshi lay stretched on the overgrown lawn grass. It looked up expectantly when Ruchir called for Grandpa, “Babujee…” Grandpa’s villa and the garden had kept Ruchir busy for half the summer. Five mango trees, a tall neem tree, one guava tree, three shrubs of lemon, a bed of twenty rose bushes and two patches of summer vegetables made up the house campus.

The scale and impact of these events was often cataclysmic and writers offered a glimpse into the everyday life of ordinary people who lost their lives and livelihoods and suffered the angst and trauma of mental, physical and emotional loss. This paper focuses on the devastation caused by pandemics especially in the Ganges deltaic plains of India. Through selected texts of 20th century Hindi writers – Munshi Premchand, Phanishwar Nath Renu, Suryakant Tripathi Nirala, Bhagwan Das, Harishankar Parsai, Pandey Bechan Sharma – this paper aims to bring forth the suffering and struggles against violence, social injustices and public health crises in India during waves of epidemics and pandemics when millions died as they tried to combat the rampant diseases. Keywords: historical pandemics, 20th century Hindi Literature, pandemic literature, epidemics in India, cholera, smallpox, plague, influenza . eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics publishes new research from arts, humanities, social sciences and allied fields on the variety and interrelatedness of nature, culture, and society in the tropics.
