But Sagayam took up all his postings as a new opportunity to deliver good and justice. CV Ananda Bose (innovation) It was in the area of low cost housing that Dr Bose pioneered a movement that won international acclaim. Mahesh Buch (people-centricity) - against corruption One was to ‘mercilessly weed out from the IAS, IPS and Indian Forest Service all those who are slackers, derelict in their duty, partisan and corrupt’. Another was to make district officers personally responsible for development projects under their jurisdiction, with DMs empowered ‘to take action against their subordinates and tell the politicians that any interference in this behalf will not be tolerated’. PS Appu (integrity and probity) Recommended dismissal of a probationer for severe indiscipline. When the recommendation was rejected allegedly because of the closeness of the person with the a State home minister, he resigned as director of LBSNAA in protest. Other anecdotes Personal law - no fundamental right but an enabling law like special marriage avt which allow one to act outside the ambit of theit perosnal law .

In this day and age, nationalism has to be based on unity transcending diversity, the fulfilment of aspirations, giving opportunities for growth and prosperity to every child irrespective of birth, the liberty of all citizens irrespective of caste, gender or religion, respect for universal human values and rights. One tends to compare this “People’s President” to Gandhiji who inspired millions of this land. They both could transcend the barriers of caste and creed and spot the unity of all humans. What distinguishes Dr. Kalam from the father of the nation was his readiness to move with the times, especially see India’s necessity to go nuclear, and negotiate for global peace from a position of national strength. He dreamt of the day when this country would become a developed nation, but not a domineering superpower. Kalam’s most enduring and important legacy will be the fostering of this sense of new nationalism and the robust optimism in India’s quest to fulfil such a vision. Our bureaucracy must be imbued with a sense of purpose, and must become an instrument for delivering services and achieving goals for the public good. We need to give back power with accountability to communities, organisations and institutions at every level so that the best impulses prevail, talents are harnessed, and leadership in every sphere is nurtured. As a people, we must rediscover the capacity to pay a short-term price to promote the prosperity of the next generation and enhance long-term public good. And we need to remind ourselves that the nation is above self, and above accidents of the womb and the many sectarian divisions that continue to plague us.

    _______________________________________________________ THE SIMPLICITY EXERCISES A SOURCEBOOK FOR SIMPLICITY EDUCATORS Mark A Burch Simplicity Institute Report 12k, 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE ____________________ SIMPLICITY INSTITUTE PRAISE FOR THE SIMPLICITY EXERCISES: Mark Burch is the real deal—it’s evident from The Simplicity Exercises that he’s spent a lifetime integrating simple living principles into his own life, and luckily for the rest of us, has developed and honed exercises to help others do the same. Seasoned voluntary simplicity facilitators will appreciate how thorough and well-presented these activities are. In fact, the material is so well-thought out that informal educators new to simple living could use Mark’s book with confidence. If you’re ready to change your game plan or help others do so, this book ofers real transformative opportunities. C. Jones, M. Div., Adult Educator and Simple Living Enthusiast Refraining from adding to the critique of current social, economic and ecological challenges, Burch makes a notable shift towards positive social transformation, opting to share the rewards and potentials of simple living with others rather than additional criticism and analysis of contemporary problems. … The sourcebook is therefore an important and valuable resource for all educators or individuals interested in exploring simplicity further,.. Natalie Swayze, Research Associate, Centre for Indigenous Science Education, The University of Winnipeg In The Simplicity Exercises, Burch provides us with a path through that mental barrier [to transformative change] with comprehensive and well-thought-out group thought- experiments and exercises. Drawing from years of real-world experience, the book provides us a path beyond fear, critique and common despair-ridden questions about how to move forward to solve the challenges of our time.

Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Professor Jan Johnson Yopp, adviser Professor Barbara Friedman, reader Professor Stephen Birdsall, reader ©2008 Kelly Rae Chi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KELLY R. CHI: The Motivations and Challenges of Living Simply in a Consuming Society (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Barbara Friedman and Stephen Birdsall) Voluntary simplicity, a cultural movement that focuses on buying less and working less, blossomed in the mid-1990s as increasing numbers of Americans voiced dissatisfaction with excessive consumerism and working long hours. While the movement is not formalized today, many Americans do live simply, according to some of the simplicity literature. Practices range from buying only environmentally friendly products, following religious guidelines, or living in communal settings. Though the weakening U.S. economy makes simplicity an attractive or necessary way of life, the daily lives of simplifiers are underreported in the mainstream media. Since 2003, newspaper articles on simplicity have diminished, and existing articles lack context on the varied motivations and challenges of the simplicity movement and how some Americans live simply. This thesis and its series of articles aims to fill that gap by looking at simplicity research as well as the stories of local people in family and community settings.

  • Gandhi Intro
    Addendum A: Historical Context for Gandhi's Thoughts and Actions Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, leader of the Indian nationalist movement and known in his later life as Mahatma ("great soul"), was one of the greatest national leaders of the 20th century. His methods and philosophy of nonviolent confrontation, or civil disobedience, not only led his own country to independence but also influenced political activists of many persuasions throughout the world. His mother was a devout adherent of Jainism, a religion in which ideas of nonviolence and vegetarianism are paramount. Gandhi stated that he was most influenced by his mother, whose life "was an endless chain of fasts and vows." When, in the company of boyhood friends, he secretly smoked, ate meat, told lies, or wore Western clothing, he suffered intense feelings of guilt. These feelings forced him to make resolutions about his moral behavior that were to remain with him. Married by arrangement at 13, Gandhi went to London to study law when he was 18. He was admitted to the bar in 1891 and for a while practiced law in Bombay. From 1893 to 1914, he worked for an Indian firm in South Africa. During these years, Gandhi's humiliating experiences of overt racial discrimination propelled him into agitation on behalf of the Indian community of South Africa. He assumed leadership of protest campaigns and gradually developed his techniques and tenets of nonviolent resistance known as satyagraha (literally, "steadfastness in truth"). Returning to India in January 1915, Gandhi soon became involved in labor organizing. The massacre of Amritsar (1919), in which troops fired on and killed hundreds of nationalist demonstrators, turned him to direct political protest.

  • Speciale Fardigt
    Abstract In the current epoch the concepts of climate change, environmental crisis and sustainable living have become well-integrated into the collective consciousness of individuals, and on an overall level, risks and uncertainties have taken up a different meaning for people in post-modern Western society. The previous faith and trust in institutions, experts and scientists has collapsed as the technological advancements and developments which where once provided to rid humanity of scarcity in basic needs and fight diseases, are now to blame for the current situation of global warming, overpopulation, and pollution. The future of humanity and the planet is consequently uncertain, and while the incentive to take action among laypeople is present, this is to some degree inhibited by a lack of adaptable concrete step-by-step solutions paired with an overall absence of global consensus regarding the magnitude of the problem. Nevertheless a number of relatively new tendencies suggests that individuals are taking matters into their own hands. The anthropocene marks a new geological era where human activities have come to play a powerful role on global climates and the environment, and this has given rise to new sustainable lifestyles, where the agenda and common vision often revolves around making conscious everyday choices with the least possible environmental impact. While the altruistic messages, ideas and values behind new sustainable lifestyles may seem praiseworthy, there are scholars who suggest that affiliations to such fixed identities serve other purposes, as a strategy of maintaining a unified sense of self in a world marked by fragmentation, insecurity and chaos. Elaborating further on this assumption, environment-friendly ways of living come to function as ready-made identities for modern individuals as a replacement for genuine self-development and reflection.

  • Network of Sacred Heart Schools
    Network of Sacred Heart Schools Dear Applicant, Enclosed is the application packet for the Network Summer Projects. The Projects, now in their 27th year, offer students a unique experience of service and community, which has consistently made a significant impact on the lives of all who have been involved. In addition to serving the poor and marginalized it is hoped you experience a personal transformation by living in a communal setting, practicing simple living, and maintaining a positive and open attitude. One of the great benefits of every service project is the opportunity to develop new friendships with students from across the country who come from a variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. You will be expected to step outside of your comfort zone to reach out and make certain that everyone feels like an important part of the “project community.” “Inclusiveness” is an attitude that you are expected to bring with you, so that all participants have a rich, affirming experience. At most locations you will sleep on the floor, drink water from the tap as opposed to bottled water, and personally cook and eat nutritious, well-balanced, basic meals with provisions made for vegetarians and some easily accommodated allergies. Severe allergies may be a deterrent to being accepted into a Service Project. In some locations there will be no air conditioning and shower facilities will not be luxurious. You will relinquish your cell phone(s) during the project in order to enter more fully into the service aspect of the project. You will be given opportunities to contact home via periodic moments of blogging or some limited access to the internet.
