  • Institute of Town Planners, India Journal 12 X 3, July - September 2015
    Institute of Town Planners, India Journal 12 x 3, July - September 2015 Editorial The first paper in the series written by Ankita Singh on the theme ‘Better Health with Plants: A Forgotten Wisdom’ begins by pointing out that inadequate ventilation leads to poor air quality which could be the main reason for more pollutants getting indoors resulting in stressful life, depression, and less work efficiency. This study establishes that overall indoor air quality can be improved with the help of common houseplants. Plants can reduce toxic pollutants from outdoor as well as indoor sources by producing fresh air required for adequate ventilation. Species of plants have also been mentioned in this paper, which may represent a long term, low cost, and an attractive solution to reducing exposure to many contaminants and lifetime risks, and further improve work performance, life quality and welfare of citizen occupants of building. This study also shows that this is an important public health issue, especially as it promotes human health by increasing life expectancy in a more natural and sustainable way. The second paper focuses on the city as a contested place, a place marked by social and cultural conflicts. Appropriately titled ‘Place of Social and Cultural Diversity in Planning Theory’, this paper is written by Ashok Kumar. The author argues that cultural diversity has remained one of the core concerns of planning theory since the inception of the subject in early 1900’s. Theories of internal city structure emanating from the Chicago School of Urban Sociology made culture as the significant explanatory element of the growth of a city.

(A) The Hospital – Medical Services The MSS's Tribal Welfare Programmes have gained international recognition for their preservation of the culture of tribals of India, who are facing extinction through modern development, exploitation and disease. Dr.Prakash and Dr.(Mrs) Mandakini Amte have both worked tirelessly under extremely difficult conditions to help in the preservation of India's tribal people. Lok Biradari Prakalp (The People's Brotherhood) [Est. – 1973] situated in the Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra serves the Madia-Gond tribals who are alienated from the outside world. In this particular project primary health care was given top priority. Six sub centres were started in the interior forest area, geographically wide apart from the main hospital, of which three are still functional. The early years of the project entailed a massive struggle in the extremely difficult conditions of a thick and remote forest.

  • Redeveloment of Amte's Animal Ark (Orphanage Cum Rescue Centre) at Hemalkasa, Gadchiroli
    REDEVELOMENT OF AMTE’S ANIMAL ARK (ORPHANAGE CUM RESCUE CENTRE) AT HEMALKASA, GADCHIROLI PROJECT BY- DESIGNED BY- ASHFAQUE AHMED CONSULTANCY SERVICES PVT. LTD. 289, New Colony, Nagpur - 440001 Ph. No. 2595752, 2597144, Mob: 9823054655, email: [email protected] website: [email protected] BACKGROUND Amte’s Animal Ark (Rescue Centre), established in the year 1974 by Dr. Prakash Amte, is an orphanage for young wild animals whose parents have been killed by the tribal people for food (not for fun or entertainment). It began with a baby monkey, whose mother had been killed for a meal. Touched by this, Dr. Prakash Amte adopted the monkey by exchanging it for grain. From there on, the organization has worked to save the lives of many young wild animals deserted in the forests. Today, the local tribals have become more sensitized to the issue of killing wild animals. Even if they kill an animal for food, they bring the orphan of the killed animal to the ark. The Animal Ark today has a wide variety of animals - leopard, sloth bear, snakes, birds, deer, owls, crocodiles, hyenas and monkeys etc. – to name a few. The Animal Ark is an integral part of the “Lok Biradari Prakalp” (LBP), which is a non-governmental organization, based in the remotest and interior most forest area of Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra state, in India. This organization works for welfare of the Madia Gond tribes in the area. The LBP was established by Baba Amte, the world renowned social worker from Anandwan, Maharashtra, in the year 1973 and is headed by Dr Prakash Amte, Baba Amte’s younger son.

  • Lok Biradari Prakalp, At: Hemalkasa (A Project of Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Warora) Post & Taluka: Bhamragad, District: Gadchiroli, Pin Code: 442 710
    Lok Biradari Prakalp, At: Hemalkasa (A Project of Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Warora) Post & Taluka: Bhamragad, District: Gadchiroli, Pin code: 442 710. Maharashtra, India Website: www.lokbiradariprakalp.org & Email: [email protected] The Background : Baba Amte’s visit to the dense forests of Bhamragad in the Gadchiroli district of Maharastra in early seventies gave a decisive turn to the life of the tribals known as Madia- Gonds. The project demanded invincible will and determination. It was in 1974 that Dr. Prakash Amte Baba’s younger son who was busy pursuing his post-graduation in surgery then decided to undertake the responsibility. Dr. Mandakini his wife joined him in few months. For the tribals the forest was the end of the world. No going out and little to eat fit for a civilized man. Agriculture in the modern sense of the term was unknown. Struggling to keep their body and soul together, the tribals died of one thing or another. Death sought them faithfully and in many forms – starvation, disease, under nutrition, superstition and it was behind the bush too. A life and death kind of struggle with the wild went on for years before the inception of the project. They famished and died much before their time. Those who survived by chance looked much older than they were. ‘An woman of twenty five’ or ‘an old man of thirty’ couldn’t have been contradictions in terms. The parents were never in a hurry to name their new-born-so sure they were of its death. Education – not even an otherworldly thing because they knew no world beyond the forest.

  • Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries Kulkarni C Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries: a Case Series Chaitrali Kulkarni
    Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries Kulkarni C Occupational Therapy: Going Beyond Boundaries: A Case Series Chaitrali Kulkarni Abstract India, once called the land of villages, has developed not only in its urban but also rural sector. An Indian village community is a political, economic, and a cultural system. While geography is only one of many factors that contribute to health inequities, access to health-care services has been cited as disproportionately poorer for rural residents. With various organizations working hard toward improving the quality of life in these areas; community education, empowerment, good local governance, and preventive occupational therapy are found to be important steps in rural rehabilitation. Therapists have to have understanding of rural life, people, their beliefs, culture, and how this affects health. The Madia-Gond tribal, who have inhabited Gadchiroli for decades, are an extremely remarkable race, affected by chronic poverty, adverse incorporation, a decline in employment opportunities, and the neglect of rural development. This article reports experiences of an occupational therapist working in the tribal areas for the tribal people, who were utterly ignorant, and ages and centuries behind time. Key Words: Occupational Therapy, Quality of Life, Rural Rehabilitation, Tribal INTRODUCTION A dream came true when I got a call from Dr. Anagha Amte about acceptance of my application to serve at their non-governmental organization (NGO). The journey commenced with lots of plans and expectations,

Originally the poem was written in Bengali but now available to all non-Bengali languages. Amalkanti means "pure radiance" in Hindi as well as in Bangla. The meaning affects the understanding of the poem.The poet has used irony to express the facts of success and achievement. Irony is a literary device through which writer or speaker expresses the opposite meaning. In the poem Amalkanti dreamt to be sunlight and intended to brighten up others lives. But he had to work in a semi- dark room in a press. The poem has drawn the authentic picture of the result of planned career or aim of an individual during schooling. It reveals the fact that the person without aim is just like a sheep without rudder. Amalkanti was the friend and classmate of the poet, Nirendranath Chakrabarti. He was weak and careless student.

  • UNSEEN UNHEARD UNSAID.Pdf
    Dedicated to the Gods above and Their last disciples on the face of this earth, vestiges of human existence, the mentally ill wandering aimlessly on the streets, in this beloved world of ours On the back page of a book 'The Buddha and his Dhamma' by the renowned activist and the drafter of the Constitution of India Dr B.R. Ambedkar is printed 'If you are finished with it (the book), please pass it on to others or offer it to a monastery, school or public library. Thanks for your cooperation.' In a world where privacy of rights is enshrined and fought for, I felt that this passage was brilliant. It allowed the propagation and dissemination of a thought. A thought cannot and should not have any reservation of rights. While an autobiography may give importance to the journey of a person, ultimately the person passes away and so does his autobiography. All that sustains is a thought, an idea and the goodness (if at all any) within that thought and the idea. I would like the people who read my book to treat it as such. A thought in the direction of a cause. The cause of the wandering mentally ill roadside destitute. And I hold a personal solemn belief that if the thought has some innate inherent goodness in it, it might/will be communicated and propagated, but if the thought does not, then it deserves to die its silent death. Ultimately, truth is Truth only when it has the capacity to stretch beyond the limits of all endurance, light is Light only when it has the capacity to pierce the darkness.
