Consequently they decided to hold the next of its workshop under “Role are available for blood donation drives in a very limited time frame.

Some very disturbing a s p e c t s c a m e f o r t h a f t e r interacting with blood bankers, h o s p i t a l s , patients, college students etc. Here is a gist of what is really happening there. !A major hospital based blood bank in the district Jai Jawan Jai Kisan - Lal Bahadur Shastri Sankalp Patrika Volume 2 Issue 10 Page 2 October 2012 EMERGENCY BLOOD DONATIONS IN THE GULBARGA DISTRICT Sankalp India Foundation decided that an attempt has Data gathered from the Karnataka blood helpline, ( to be made to tackle the situation. On 8th September 9480044444) for Gulbarga indicates that in January 2012, Sankalp India Foundation in association with 2012, the district had about 100 units of blood (units NSS Cell, Gulbarga University held a workshop on the available off the shelf) on a daily average.

Thus replacement was the the pressing needs for more blood donation drives in norm and the misery of the patients during that period Gulbarga.. was painful to hear. A set of 50 colleges from Gulbarga and neighboring Even for an organization like Sankalp, that is working in Yadgir district were identified to be a part of the the field of blood banking for close to 10 years, workshop. A letters signed jointly by Sankalp and NSS emergency situations in Gulbarga have been a Cell Gulbarga was dispatched to these colleges. All nightmare. Although Sankalp never wants to see a colleges were personally again invited via phone calls, case where a unit of blood needs to be replaced (rather mailers etc with a request to send in 1 teacher the wish is to see plenty of blood donation drives representative and 4 students from each college. making blood units available off the shelf always), there are situations when helplessness sets in and a The workshop began at 9 AM with registrations. Each replacement donor needs to be found. During such times, healthy relatives of patients too are skeptical about donating blood. They just become ignorant to repeated requests to donate blood and rather go on to put volunteers under pressure to get a blood unit. Somehow the concept of blood donation in general is too new and elusive to many people in Gulbarga. Sometimes even a single negative unit cannot be found anywhere in the entire district. In April 2012, in a case where Sankalp was involved, a negative unit (Ab - ve) was required. After exploring and exhausting all options in Gulbarga it was decided to get blood from Raichur (that is about 4 hours by bus). Unfortunately, by then the life was lost. But then we also need to realize that there are people there who can make a difference as well. Take for instance the case of a man who has the unique participant was issued a well designed kit. Each kit had Bombay Blood Group. There was a patient in manuals, brochures, pamphlets, posters, a copy of Bangalore who required Bombay group blood. After Sankalp Patrika, each of which had an abundance of explaining the urgency of the situation, he was willing information related to blood donation processes, the to donate immediately and even help in transporting it need for blood, eligibility criteria etc. More than 120 from Gulbarga to Bangalore. This simply goes to show students and about 20 faculty members came in to that there is hope! attend the day long program. Sankalp India Foundation is working to tap this hope to After the national song, Vande Mataram was sung by improve things in Gulbarga. There is a need for a participants, Dr E T Muttiah, the Vice Chancellor of the revolutionary change. With the district having a university inaugurated the program and stressed on university of it’s own (Gulbarga University )which has the need for awareness of the requirement of blood in about 100 colleges in Gulbarga and Yadgir , with more the mind of every student and public in general.

Sankalp sent out an appeal to the college faculty representatives to not look at such drives as a burden on their academic schedule, but rather consider it to be their responsibility as definite steps and decisions from them can play a major role in addressing blood shortage in Gulbarga. Dr Prasanna, Blood Bank Medical Officer of District Hospital, Raichur also came in to represent the blood banking community. He not only explained how important blood donation drives are in Gulbarga Raichur region(since these are major medial destinations to a host of villages and towns), but also went on to tell the students how shortage of blood units can be disastrous to the lives of thousands of people.

  • India and United Nations Peacekeeping and Peacebuilding
    INDIA AND UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING AND PEACEBUILDING India stands solidly committed to assist the UN in the maintenance of international peace and security with a proud history of UN peacekeeping dating back to its inception in the 1950s. India has contributed more than 2,36,000 troops, the largest number from any country, participated in more than 49 missions and 168 Indian peacekeepers have made the supreme sacrifice while serving in UN missions. India has also provided and continues to provide eminent Force Commanders for UN Missions. India is the second largest troop contributor [TCC] with 6,719 personnel deployed in 09 out of 22 active UN Peacekeeping Missions of which 583 are police personnel. The high standards of performance maintained consistently by the Indian troops and policemen deployed on UN Missions under challenging circumstances have won them high regard worldwide. India is of the view that the international community must grasp the rapid changes that are underway in the nature and role of contemporary peacekeeping operations. The Security Council’s mandates to UN peacekeeping operations need to be rooted in ground realities and correlated with the resources provided for the peacekeeping operation. It is critical that troop and police contributing countries should be fully involved at all stages and in all aspects of mission planning. There should be greater financial and Human Resources for peace building in post conflict societies where UNPKO’s have been mandated. India’s unique combination of being the largest democracy in the world with a strong tradition of respect for rule of law and the successful experience in nation building makes it particularly relevant in the context of twenty-first century peacebuilding.

When the UN decided upon military intervention to retrieve the situation, India contributed a brigade of3000 men to the UN Force. In November 1961, the Security Council decided to put a stop to the hostile activities of the Katangese troops in Congo. This greatly angered Tshombe, the secessionist leader of Katanga, and he intensified his 'hate the UN' campaign. The result was increased violence against UN personnel. On December 5, 1961, a 3/ J GR Company supported by3-inch mortars attacked a roadblock, established by Katangese troops, between HO Katanga command and the Elisabethville airfield at a strategic round about. The roadblock was destroyed and the Gorkhas established a UN roadblock there. When Captain Salaria in a November 29, 1935-December 5, 1961 platoon strength tried to link up with the Gorkha Company to reinforce the roadblock, he met strong opposition in the old airfield area.

Captain Salaria was not deterred by their superior strength and fire power.

  • 1.7 Param Vir Chakra : Our Heroes
    1.7 Param Vir Chakra : Our Heroes You may have heard about legendary heroes of the past and their extraordinary acts of bravery. But even today many brave soldiers of our country sacrifice their own lives for our safety. Their brave deeds are honoured by bestowing military decorations on them. Param Vir Chakra is India’s highest military decoration. It is awarded for the most conspicuous bravery or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, in the presence of the enemy, whether on land, at sea or in the air. The Param Vir Chakra is a very rare honour. So far, it has been awarded only 21 times. Fourteen of these awards were given posthumously. The medal itself is very simple in appearance. It is made of bronze, and is fi tted with swivel mounting and has a plain purple ribbon. On the obverse, it has the Indian national emblem at the centre, surrounded by four replicas of ‘Indra’s Vajra’. On the reverse, the words Param Vir Chakra are engraved in Hindi and English, with two lotus flowers in between. The Param Vir Chakra medal was designed by Savitribai Khanolkar. She was a European lady, who married Vikram Khanolkar, an Indian Army Officer. Savitribai loved India and took Indian citizenship. She spoke Marathi, Sanskrit, Hindi fluently and had studied Indian arts and traditions in depth. Indra’s vajra or thunderbolt is supposed to be a matchless weapon. But what makes the weapon invincible is the supreme sacrifice of the sage Dadhichi. According to legend, thousands of years ago, a demon had stolen all the water in the world.
