  • 5. Government Mediation Or Facilitation?
    5. Government Mediation or Facilitation? We have seen that concerns with Adivasi rights were relatively weak in the design of the bauxite project. Economic benefits would mainly be directed to the private investor, while Adivasi farmers would lose land to the project with only marginal compensation. While initial conditions thus looked unfavourable, implementation processes were still important. The way that the state government handled its multiple and often contradictory commitments, ensuring that due legal process was followed while facilitating project approvals and promoting private investment, became crucial in determining actual outcomes. The company itself was rarely visible in these processes, except at high-level meetings in Delhi or Hyderabad, but this was how the bauxite alliance had been formed. The state government was not expected to contribute any significant financial, technical or human resources to the actual establishment and operation of the project. Mediation is what the government, and especially top politicians, would do to justify a role in the alliance. Mediation processes on the part of state and national government agencies determined the way in which the many existing concerns over what should happen to people, land, water, forests and minerals would be translated into actual outcomes. These took place in the complex system of regulatory control over investment approvals across national, state and local decision-making forums. At issue, though often couched in apolitical technical language, were power struggles over who should make decisions and who should benefit. The struggles over representation were not settled merely—or even mainly—in legal texts and policies, 109 Landlock or even in the memorandum of understanding (MoU), but in these regulatory processes.

  • Social Studies
    www.teachersteam.in PREFACE Learning in the classroom cannot be a joyful experience for the child unless we change our perception of the child as a receiver of knowledge and unless we move beyond the conven- tional use of the text book as the basis for examination. The present CCE mode of curriculum has evolved from State Curriculum Framework (SCF) 2011. Here the teacher is a facilitator. Gone are the days when the children open their mouths in the classroom only to answer the few questions posed by the teacher. Gone are the days when only the teacher dominates the entire class. The CCE mode of learning is activity based learning through Projects, Assignments and through real life situations which bring the society at large into the classroom as stated by SCF-2011 : Children's life at school must be linked to their life outside the school. Thus projects are part and parcel of classroom learning. As we are all aware, projects are a set of activities in which students understand the concept thoroughly, collectively collect relevant information and ar- rive at certain conclusions. Projects, done in groups, as they should be, develop skills in Aca- demic Standards such as Communication, Problem Solving, Connection with other subjects and Representation & Visualization. In this book, suggestible projects are presented class wise, subject wise, chapter wise and concept wise. The teacher plays a vital role in making the students do the projects. He/she should have a thorough understanding of the projects before they are taken into the classroom. The projects should be clearly explained to the students so that they are done with complete comprehension and with keen interest.
