In fact, the publications brought out in connection with the earlier censuses contained veritable mines of information on racial, cultural, linguistic and a number of other aspects of life of the people of this country. With the advent of freedom, however, the scope and dimension of these special studies had to be restructured in a manner that would provide the basic feedbacks on the processes of development taking place in different spheres of life of the people especially under planned development. Thus, in connection with the 1961 Census, a massive programme was launched inter-alia to conduct socio-economic survey

See Infinite Possibilities Open Up There are infinite possibilities in each one of us. We must learn the art of tapping these mighty resources within. The only way to explore these unknown veins of power and strength, efficiency and ability, success and glory, is to put forth our sincere efforts into the work at hand, more diligently, more industriously. Let us keep very high visions of achievement; they by themselves will come to serve as intimations of what we can be; they will summon us to larger and more earnest efforts. Let us realize that whatever we have done so far is nothing and that we can still do much better, and even more to be sure. Immense possibilities are before us. The fields of splendid possibilities, we shall see, widen all by themselves, as we persevere to act and achieve with a sincere spirit of dedication and honesty of purpose.

Amidst the milieu of ancient and contemporary theories of Consciousness is the ancient Indian philosophy of advaita-vedānta, or the system of non-duality. This dissertation explores the nature of the Self as Consciousness according to the well-known 20th Century philosopher of advaita-vedānta and Hindu guru, Swami Chinmayananda (1916-1993), drawing upon the core texts of Vedānta, the Upaniṣads, and the works of the chief systematizer of Advaita philosophy and the head of Chinmayananda’s monastic order, Śaṅkara (788-820 CE), and locates Chinmayananda and his work within the contemporaneous and ongoing dialogue regarding Hinduism. Understanding that the Upaniṣads are cryptic in nature and that we need a lens through which we can study them, we begin by providing a biography and analysis of the life of Swami Chinmayananda, the lens we have chosen for this dissertation, in the first two chapters.

Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Co-Author Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Since long, medicinal plants have been extensively used for treating various diseases both in humans as well as other animals. Kangra is a quiet large district of Himachal Pradesh, where the ethnobotanical studies on medicinal plants is quiet meager, therefore, the proposed research will explore the knowledge about traditional medicinal plants of the district and their uses for treating several diseases. Further, some of the important and rare medicinal plant species will be evaluated for their phytochemical, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities thus, confirming their uses for making certain herbal formulations for the society. The study on ethnobotany of traditional medicinal plants is of both national as well as international importance as it will help to explore the medicinal plant wealth of unexplored Kangra district. The herbal formulations can be prepared after knowing the uses of these species which will be useful for the society to get some independency from allopathic medicines having large number of side effects. The proposed study is relevant to the needs of the immediate environment in terms to reduce dependency on the allopathic medicine even on small diseases.

In order to understand and appreciate ritual vocal music from a Western perspective, there must be firm understanding of the importance of melody and the source of its value.

    JAGORI RURAL & SANGAT Two week training course in Hindi/Urdu on “Gender, Human Rights, Just Governance, Sustainable Development and Women’s Empowerment 7 July – 20 July, 2014 Last Date: 20 March 2014 Jagori Rural Charitable Trust ( JRCT) and SANGAT , take great pleasure in announcing a South Asian, twoweek training course in Hindi/Urdu on “Gender, Human Rights, Just Governance, Sustainable Development and Women’s Empowerment” from 7 July - 20 July , 2014 , at the Training and Research Academy (TARA), Sidhbari, Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh, India. As we all know, in many of our organizations, a number of young people join. Often they bring necessary educational qualification but very little understanding and experience in terms of a gender, class, caste aware perspective or the experience of grassroots work, especially in relation to the community mobilization strategies. The objective of this two week long training programme is to respond to the felt needs of organizations primarily based in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal, Jammu and Kashmir,Uttrakhand and other north Indian states as well as from the Hindi/ Hindustani speaking countries of the South Asian region, especially Nepal and Bhutan. Main objectives of the course are: • To develop a feminist perspective on a range of issues related to rural development and reconstruction, with a special focus on Women’s rights and entitlements. • Strengthen the capacity of the staff of various NGOs, Human Rights and Women’s rights groups and other civil society organizations and individuals. • Build solidarity and network among participants from different states and develop common agendas and campaigns for future.
