Why This Conference? an Independent State Why this Conference? An independent State Election Commission (SEC), in each state, is established for the timely conduct of local self-government (LSG) elections, in a free, fair and transparent manner, following the historic 73rd& 74th amendments to the Constitution of India. The State Election Commission, Maharashtra (SECM), which was established in 1994, returns more than 2.50 lakh representatives every 5 years in approximately 28,000 local bodies. Though there have been a lot of efforts made, in past 25 years, some people do not adequately recognize the role of LSGs in the process of Nation Building and also do not treat SECs as independent authorities at par with the Election Commission of India. Therefore there is an urgent need to bring LSGs and their elections into the centre stage. So that real democracy flourishes at the grassroots level. In celebrating 25 years of the 73rd & 74th Amendments to the Constitution of India, the State Election Commission, Maharashtra, organized an International Conference on 25 & 26 October 2018 in Mumbai on the theme of „Better Elections for Healthier Democracy‟. There were 17 foreign delegates from various countries including, United States of America, United Kingdom, Sweden, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, etc. 32 delegates from across India, including various State Election Commissioners and ex-members of Election Commission of India. The first of its kind Conference was inaugurated by Hon‟ble Governor, Shri. CH. Vidyasagar Rao on 25 October. Also present were Smt. Pankaja Munde, Rural Development, Women & Child Development Minister and Shri. Radhakrishna Wikhe- Patil, Leader of Opposition, Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. The Hon‟ble Chief Minister, Shri. Devendra Fadnavis was present to close this historic Conference on 26 October. Along with him were Shri. Sudhir Mungantiwar, Finance & Planning and Forests departments Minister and Shri. Dhananjay Munde, Leader of Opposition, Maharashtra Legislative Council for the Valedictory Session. The Conference brought to the forefront various issues regarding the election to local bodies in the presence of representatives from various democratic countries and other Election Commissions from across India. „Public Ownership of Democracy‟, „How to Check Misuse of Money Power‟, „Inclusiveness‟, „How to Control Menace of Social Media, Fake News, etc.‟ and „Role of Various Stakeholders‟ were the five themes on which panel discussions took place. At this Conference, the “Mumbai Declaration” was adopted by the participating members. The declaration comprised of agreed upon of thoughts, directions and steps to be adopted by various stakeholders. In the organizing of the conference, State Election Commission received support and cooperation from its Knowledge Partners: Commonwealth Local Self Government Forum (CLGF), International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (Int. IDEA), University of Mumbai, Gokhale Institution of Politics & Economics, Pune, Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and Resource and Support Centre for Development (RSCD).

  • Life and Death in the Times Of
    2020 i COMMONWEALTH HUMAN RIGHTS INITIATIVE The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organisation headquartered in New Delhi, India, with offices in London, United Kingdom, and Accra, Ghana. Since 1987, it has advocated, engaged and mobilised around human rights issues in Commonwealth countries. Its specialisations in the areas of Access to Justice (ATJ) and Access to Information (ATI) are widely known. The ATJ programme has focussed on Police and Prison Reforms, to reduce arbitrariness and ensure transparency while holding duty bearers to accountability. CHRI looks at policy interventions, including legal remedies, building civil society coalitions and engaging with stakeholders. The ATI programme looks at Right to Information (RTI) LIFE AND DEATH IN THE TIME OF RTI and Freedom of Information laws across geographies, provides specialised advice, sheds light on challenging issues and processes for widespread use of transparency laws and develops capacity. We review pressures on media and CASE STUDIES FROM MAHARASHTRA media rights while a focus on Small States seeks to bring civil society voices to bear on the UN Human Rights Council and the Commonwealth Secretariat. A new area of work is SDG 8.7 whose advocacy, research and mobilisation across geographies is built on tackling contemporary forms of slavery. CHRI has special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council and is accredited to the Commonwealth Secretariat. Recognised for its expertise by governments, oversight bodies and civil society, CHRI is registered as a society in India, a limited charity in London and an NGO in Ghana. Although the Commonwealth, an association of 54 nations, provided member countries the basis of shared an investigative report by common laws, there was little specific focus on human rights issues in member countries.

    CLASSICAL LANGUAGE MARATHI SHRAMNIRMIT JALSWARAJYA RAJGAD: THE KING OF FORTS VOL.9 ISSUE 2 FEBRUARYFEBRUARY 20202020 ` 50 PAGESPAGES 5252 I SPEAK MARATHI, I HEAR MARATHI, I KNOW MARATHI, I RESPECT MARATHI We should have trust in the immense capacity of our mother tongue language never flourishes in imprisonment. Today’s prevalent Marathi has also been enriched by absorbing in itself words from Amany languages and colloquial terms. The language of any lively community or society never stagnates like a pond. Instead, it is like a flow- Gaurav Din ing river, welcoming and absorbing in it streams of new knowledge and thoughts. It can progress only by keeping touch with other progressive languages. Many languages that refused to do so, by sticking to rituals of purity, have died a natural death, and history has many such examples to show. Marathi has, however, kept this sensibility in its long journey of around 15 centuries. It has flourished by absorbing words and terminol- ogies from other languages. That is why I say that, we, its children, who doubt its capability of facing the challenges of new age successfully, are really weak! We are not against any language…and certainly not against English, which has been nurturing us with the love of an aunt! We only wish that our aunt hands over the control of our home to our mother. So, the question that we are facing is not of boycotting English, but of protecting and nurturing our very own Marathi! A language is not just a compilation of words. It is a force that takes forward society’s philosophical and ideological treasure through con- tinuously flowing streams of time, and which eventually gives unity, integrity, dimension and depth to the changing face of society.
