It is a pleasure to present the 92nd Annual Report, largely covering the period from 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015 during which substantial achievements have been noted. The university was honored with the prestigious “Visitor’s Award 20015 for Innovation” from the President of India, for developing a rapid Tuberculosis Detection Kit. The DST PURSE grant received was again the highest in the country in the category of universities. The Innovation Projects, a unique programme of support for undergraduate colleges, has created a vibrant culture of research that is bringing in publications, startups, patents, industry interfaface and business incubation. The Cluster Innovation Centre with its range of courses has introduced new pedagogical practices that identifyfy real life problems in India and seek solutions through hands-on projects. The documentation of innovative methodology and outcomes is being undertaken systematically through e-journals. Despite the large enrolment of over 6 lakh students, the Unniversity has focused on different needs of different people and imparted academic and logistical support in many ways. Inclusive principles of education have ensured an outreach to all, especially to students with disability and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Popular programmes such as the Gyanodaya Express- “College on Wheels”, which conducted projects on the train and in eight states of the north-east this year, promoted concepts of heritage, diversity and experiential learning for almost 1000 participants. Antardhvani, Delhi University’s academic and cultural festival, showcased good practices across departments and colleges and awarded the best. Footfalls crossed 1,50,000. The Sound and Light show, “University of Delhi: A Legend” delving into the history of 1857-1947 was presented again for students and others by popular demand for five days, and a special evening was reserved for the Alumnii. Sports, NCC, NSS, gender sensitization, national and international MoUs, are all a part of education here. Such mass outreach programmes disseminate positive messages about integrated learning, social values, ethics and pride in the nation. Drawing students and faculty from all over India, the University of Delhi is privileged to contribute to the intellectual growth of the country. It is with pleasure that the 92nd Annual Report is presented.

    Populism-II: States and Political Parties Rajat Roy Sumona DasGupta 2019 Contain 1. Populist Politics and Practices in Competitive Democracy, Chhattisgarh - A Case Study by Rajat Roy 1-14 2. Political Parties and Populist Policies in Contemporary India: Some Reflections on AAP by Sumona DasGupta 15-29 Political Parties and Populist Policies in Contemporary India: Some Reflections on AAP ∗ Sumona DasGupta Introduction There is little definitional clarity around the term populism. Though the use of this term has proliferated in the last decade, in common parlance there appears to be a pejorative even alarmist connotation associated with it because of its association with authoritarian leaders and policies that exploit the fears and anxieties of the masses for short term gains. A more nuanced view of populism however situates it in the context of the disillusionment of working classes with the crisis of what Nancy Fraser calls modern hegemonic, globalized, financialized forms of capitalism. Some have even viewed it as a counter concept to neoliberal politics which remains committed to free movement of capital and deregulated finance despite bringing in some mitigating politics of recognition (Frazer 2018). Regardless of the light in which populism is viewed there are mixed views on how it is connected with democracy and democratic institutions. In this paper we move away from a value laden connotation of populism as an ideology and stay with an understanding that resonates the most easily with an Indian context - namely any policy, strategy, and movement that is redistributive in nature and as such favours the common person particularly those in subordinate positions, over the elite typically represented by large business and financial interests.

Vena, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT BEYOND STEWARDSHIP: TOWARD AN AGAPEIC ENVIRONMENTAL ETHIC Christopher J. Vena, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2009 One of the unfortunate implications of industrialization and the rapid expansion of global commerce is the magnification of the impact that humans have on their environment. Exponential population growth, along with growing technological capabilities, has allowed human societies to alter their terrain in unprecedented and destructive ways. The cumulative effect has been significant to the point that the blame for widespread environmental degradation must be pinned squarely on human shoulders. Because of our dependence on these systems for survival, the threat to the environment is a threat to human life. The root of the ecological crisis is found in human attitudes and behaviors. In the late 1960’s it was suggested that Christianity was a key source of the problem because it promoted the idea of human “dominion” over creation.

Celebrated for more than 2,500 years, this ancient holiday commemorates the celebration of the start of the new year based on the zodiac calendar, typically falling in mid-April, the month of Bak. This year the actual date was on April 13. One of the remaining authentic folk celebrations, Avurudhu and Paththandu stands as a monument to a people whose lives, to a large extent, still revolve around the grace of Mother Nature and her most domineering subject, the sun. In a period of conflict, the Sri Lankan New Year symbolizes ethnic harmony where two distinct ethnic groups celebrate one brand new day in the month of April. The New Year also coincides with the time when the harvest ends - a sign of fertility - when trees bear fruit and flower bloom, so colorful fruit from lush trees are collected in bulk to fuel week-long celebrations.
