About Kudumbashree Model
• Started in 1998 by the CPI(M)-led government, it was envisioned as a part of the People’s Plan Campaign and local self-governance, with women at the centre of it. • In its conceptualisation, it was markedly different from the self-help group (SHG) movements in many parts of India. • While the commonality with other States was in the thrift and credit activities at the grassroots level through the formations of saving groups, the structures differed. • Kudumbashree has a three-tier structure. • The first is the basic unit — the neighbourhood groups (NGs). • There could be several such units within a ward and they are networked through the area development societies (ADS). • All ADSs are federated through the community development societies (CDS). • There are core committees of elected coordinators at all three levels — at least five in each NG; seven or more at the ADS level, depending on the number of NGs; and around 21 at the CDS level. • Unlike in other States, all the coordinators are elected in Kerala. Each Kudumbashree member has a vote. Direct elections for the NG coordinators are held every three years. These people, in turn, elect the coordinators of the ADS who elect the members of the CDS. • There is reservation for Dalit and Adivasi women. • At the district and State levels, employees/officers of the government are appointed on deputation to help the Kudumbashree groups.

Water harvesting Water scarcity Cultural Heritage Basically, Hoysalas are known for their temple architecture. But a recent finding shows a light on their water harvesting method. Normally rulers choose a place close to a river as the capital. But Hoysala rulers built a canal to bring water for their capital. With some modifications, existing canal can be made use of and there will no need of a new canal. India should make use of old canals, restore them and should be declared as heritage sites
DISASTER MANAGEMENT
The United Nations office for Disaster Risk Deduction (UNISDR) and other organisations have hailed government and volunteer efforts that have ensured the levels of destruction have been kept to a minimum. According to official estimates, 64 people lost their lives due to the devastating cyclone Fani. But considering the power of the cyclone, it is remarkable that more lives have not been lost.

To put the death toll in perspective, the 1999 Odisha cyclone (which had 155mph winds) killed 9,658 people and caused US$2.5 billion in damages in the state. It was this super cyclone in 1999 that led the state to become better prepared for future cyclones.
URBANIZATION The effects of unbridled urbanization are inescapable in India’s capital city. Smog blankets landmarks like India Gate in winter, delaying flights at the airport due to poor visibility. Traffic jams are part of the daily routine and slums abut New Delhi’s luxury hotels and private mansions, testifying to a growing wealth divide and chronic housing shortage.
And every day, the problem gets bigger. More than 27 million people live in and around Delhi with about 700,000 more joining them each year, according to research firm Demographia. The United Nations forecasts that by 2028 the population could outstrip Tokyo’s to make Delhi the world’s biggest megacity.
Town Planning and Structures:
The Harappan culture was distinguished by its system of town planning. Both Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had a citadel or acropolis, and this was possibly occupied by members of the ruling class. Below the citadel in each city lay a lower town with brick houses, that were inhabited by the common people.
The remarkable thing about the arrangement of the houses in the cities is that they followed a grid system, with roads cutting across one another virtually at right angles. Mohenjo-daro scored over Harappa in terms of structures. The monuments of the cities symbolized the ability of the ruling class to mobilize labour and collect taxes; the huge brick constructions were a means of impressing upon the common people the prestige and influence of their rulers.

NGO
• Work where state resources are inadequate: o Two main such areas include education and healthcare. o There are not enough government-run schools or hospitals, especially in rural areas. Even if they are present, they do not have the resources. o NGOs try to complement and complete these initiatives. o The NGO called Kerala SastraSahityaParishad is largely credited for the hundred percent literacy rate in that state. • Fighting social evils: It is due to the efforts of NGOs that the government has banned sex determination of foetus as it leads to evils like abortion of the female fetus. • Right to Information: It is because of the efforts of NGOs that RTI has become a reality in India. • Right to Shelter: NGOs such as YUVA and SPARC in cities like Mumbai have repeatedly opposed the demolition of hutments even as they try to improve the quality of life in the sprawling slum clusters • Tribal Rights: As witnessed in the Vedanta vs. Posco case, NGOs have raised voice against the discrimination of tribal by the multinationals. Many of these NGOs have partnered with Gram Panchayat in the proper implementation of acts like the Forest Rights Act, CAMPA Act etc. • Implementation of welfare schemes: NGOs due to proximity to the general public, work as an interface between government and the end- users. Thus NGOs play three roles of implementer, a catalyst and a partner in the implementation of government welfare schemes. • Rehabilitation: NGOs did a remarkable job post-2004 Tsunami. Besides helping in rescue operations, NGOs also set up vocational training centres. • Community Development: Local, national and regional NGOs have emerged as major players and partners in development activities in the region. At the community level, they are in the front line in providing assistance in the acquisition of basic needs and amenities; in identifying issues, raising awareness, and in articulating the communities’ problems. • Role of NGOs in Protection of Environment : o Major campaigns by NGOs: ▪ Climate Change ▪ Protection of Pristine forests ▪ Protection of marine life and diversity

Self Help Groups – Origin and Development in India
• The origin of SHGs in India can be traced back to the establishment of the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) in 1972. • Even before, there were small efforts at self-organising. For example, in 1954, the Textile Labour Association (TLA) of Ahmedabad formed its women’s wing in order to train the women belonging to families of mill workers in skills such as sewing, knitting, etc. • Ela Bhatt, who formed SEWA, organised poor and self-employed women workers such as weavers, potters, hawkers, and others in the unorganised sector, with the objective of enhancing their incomes. • NABARD, in 1992, formed the SHG Bank Linkage Project, which is today the world’s largest microfinance project.

When the worldwide Third Pandemic of the bubonic plague badly affected the area around Nallaspora, Maharastra in 1897, the courageous Savitribai and Yashwantrao opened a clinic at outskirts of Pune to treat the patients infected by the disease.

In course of time, she contracted the disease while serving the patients and succumbed to it on March 10, 1897.”

Hiware Bazar - A village with 54 millionaires Hiware Bazar, a village in Maharashtra's drought-prone Ahmednagar district, was sliding into an abyss after degrading its environment. But in less than a decade it turned itself around into one of the most prosperous villages of the country. There was no magic wand, just common sense. It used funds from government schemes, to regenerate its natural resources--forests, watershed and soil--led by a strong village body. It had a role model in the district-- Ralegan Siddhi, the village Anna Hazare turned around. Now Hiware Bazar is in turn an exemplar for the whole of Ahmednagar district, where others have used the same scheme to conserve and prosper. nehasakhuja travelled the district and came back with an inspirational story

"Anganwadi centres have all the facilities and a holistic environment which is good for the growth of a child," the Chamoli District Magistrate said expressing happiness at her decision. Another reason behind her decision may have been her feeling that the general attitude towards Anganwadi centres should change, Swati said.

Leadership Ajay Shankar Pandey of UP proved that an IAS is never off duty. When sanitation workers went on strike, this officer came forward & inspired citizens to clean the city within 5-6 hrs. Since then he comes to work 10 mins early to clean his office every day GS4 Cleanliness Leadership Change_in_societySwachh_Bharat_Abhiyaan • UP IAS Officer Comes To Work 10 Mins Early Every day to Clean His Own Office! • “In India, we have this notion that cleaning is the job of a particular person and that we have got nothing to do with it. In our family system too, we see women of the family doing all the cleaning, while the men never even sweep dust. This impression must go,” said Pandey, in a conversation with The Hindu in May 2014. • My emphasis was to make them take ownership of the situation and start cleaning the city. • “My appeal to everyone is that just spend ten minutes of your time cleaning your respective homes and its immediate premises so that it reduces the load on our sanitation workers a little bit. Once you lead by example others might one day follow,” he says.
