Jawaharlal Nehru once said: A university stands for humanism, for tolerance, for reason, for the adventure of ideas and for the search of truth. It stands for onward march of the human race towards ever higher objectives. If the universities discharge their duties adequately, then it is well with the Nation and the People. The above visionary statement by the first Prime Minister of Independent India on the occasion of the diamond jubilee of Allahabad University held on 13 December, 1947, reflects the great importance that Nehru attached to the university education in India. Nehru firmly believed that universities could play a crucial role in not only shaping the life of a nation but also strengthening it by inculcating the young students with the cardinal virtues of humanism, tolerance, reason, and breadth of vision and in imbuing the students with the fervor of imaginative ideas and quest for truth. As a fitting tribute to the visions of such a great statesman, the Jawaharlal Nehru University was established in 1966 under the JNU Act, 1966 (53 of 1966); indeed it was a National Memorial to Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. As a mark of further respect, the University was formally inaugurated by the late Sh. V. V. Giri, the then President of India, on the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 14 November 1969 which also coincided with the birth centenary year of Mahatma Gandhi. The University's objectives are: to disseminate and advance knowledge, wisdom and understanding by teaching and research and by the example and influence of its corporate life and in particu- lar to promote the study of the principles for which Jawaharlal Nehru worked during his life-time, namely National integration, social justice, secularism, demo- cratic way of life, international understanding and scientific approach to the prob- lems of society. Towards this end, the University was entrusted with the task of : - fostering the composite culture of India through the establishment of such departments or institutions as may be required for the study and development of the languages, arts and culture of India; - taking special measures to encourage students and teachers from all over India to join the University and participate in its academic progammes; - promoting an awareness and understanding of the social needs of the country in the students and teachers and prepare them for fulfilling such needs; - making special provision for integrated courses in humanities, science and technology in the educational programmes of the University; - taking appropriate measures for promoting interdisciplinary studies in the University; - establishing such departments or institutions as may be necessary for the study of languages, literature and life of foreign countries with a view to inculcating in the students an international understanding and a holistic perspective; and - providing facilities for students and teachers from various countries to participate in the academic progammes and activities of the University. The uniqueness of JNU is evident from its basic philosophy, policies and major programmes which are clearly spelt out and embodied in the University Act itself. Accordingly, the University has always strived to evolve such policies and programmes of studies that would be a qualitative and distinct addition to the national resource base in higher education instead of reflecting mere quantitative expansions of the existing facilities. The University thus has been concentrating on progammes that are of relevance to national progress and development. In this regard, the University has taken the following initiatives: 1 1) A conscious effort has been made to promote ideas of national integration, secularism, a scientific outlook, a cosmopolitan and a humanistic approach towards life; 2) The national character of the University has been maintained by selecting students and faculty from all regions of the country; 3) Interdisciplinary approach to teaching and research has been promoted in recognition of the fact that knowledge is indivisible and accordingly a structure of Schools and Centres of teaching has been established; 4) The emphasis on teaching and research in conventional areas has ensured that duplication of facilities available in other universities is avoided as far as possible; 5) Care has been taken to establish a model School/Centre of language teaching and research both in Indian as well as foreign languages with well-equipped modern language laboratories, perhaps the best of its kind in the whole country, and a centre where the study of literature, culture and civilization of the countries concerned becomes feasible and effective. 6) A system has been evolved whereby main academic decisions such as the courses to be taught, like precise contents of those courses and the methods of evaluation are taken by the teachers themselves. The teachers adopt the system of continuing internal evaluation with the grading system which promotes understanding; 7) Admissions to different programmes are done entirely on merit basis through an open all India Entrance Examination, held at 47 different centres spread over the

  • Red Bengal's Rise and Fall
    kheya bag RED BENGAL’S RISE AND FALL he ouster of West Bengal’s Communist government after 34 years in power is no less of a watershed for having been widely predicted. For more than a generation the Party had shaped the culture, economy and society of one of the most Tpopulous provinces in India—91 million strong—and won massive majorities in the state assembly in seven consecutive elections. West Bengal had also provided the bulk of the Communist Party of India– Marxist (cpm) deputies to India’s parliament, the Lok Sabha; in the mid-90s its Chief Minister, Jyoti Basu, had been spoken of as the pos- sible Prime Minister of a centre-left coalition. The cpm’s fall from power also therefore suggests a change in the equation of Indian politics at the national level. But this cannot simply be read as a shift to the right. West Bengal has seen a high degree of popular mobilization against the cpm’s Beijing-style land grabs over the past decade. Though her origins lie in the state’s deeply conservative Congress Party, the challenger Mamata Banerjee based her campaign on an appeal to those dispossessed and alienated by the cpm’s breakneck capitalist-development policies, not least the party’s notoriously brutal treatment of poor peasants at Singur and Nandigram, and was herself accused by the Communists of being soft on the Maoists. The changing of the guard at Writers’ Building, the seat of the state gov- ernment in Calcutta, therefore raises a series of questions. First, why West Bengal? That is, how is it that the cpm succeeded in establishing

  • Land Acquisition and Compensation in Singur: What Really Happened?∗
    Land Acquisition and Compensation in Singur: What Really Happened?∗ Maitreesh Ghatak,† Sandip Mitra,‡ Dilip Mookherjee§and Anusha Nath¶ March 29, 2012 Abstract This paper reports results of a household survey in Singur, West Bengal concerning compensation offered by the state government to owners of land acquired to make way for a car factory. While on average compensations offered were close to the reported market valuations of land, owners of high grade multi-cropped (Sona) lands were under- compensated, which balanced over-compensation of low grade mono-cropped (Sali) lands. This occurred owing to misclassification of most Sona land as Sali land in the official land records. Under-compensation relative to market values significantly raised the chance of compensation offers being rejected by owners. There is considerable ev- idence of the role of financial considerations in rejection decisions. Land acquisition significantly reduced incomes of owner cultivator and tenant households, despite their efforts to increase incomes from other sources. Agricultural workers were more adversely affected relative to non-agricultural workers, while the average impact on workers as a whole was insignificant. Adverse wealth effects associated with under-compensation significantly lowered household accumulation of consumer durables, while effects on other assets were not perceptible. Most households expressed preferences for non-cash forms of compensation, with diverse preferences across different forms of non-cash com- pensation depending on occupation and time preferences. ∗We are grateful to Mr. Atmaram Saraogi of International Centre, Kolkata for sharing with us relevant documents, and the International Growth Centre for financial support under Research Award RA-2009-11- 025 (RST-U145).

  • Adaptive Measures for Suistanable Condition in Sunderban by Various Institutions
    Journal of Xi’an Shiyou University, Natural Science Edition ISSN : 1673-064X ADAPTIVE MEASURES FOR SUISTANABLE CONDITION IN SUNDERBAN BY VARIOUS INSTITUTIONS Anupma Kumari Shailendra Kumar Singh Dept.of Zoology,Magadh University, Dept.of Zoology,Magadh University Bodhgaya,Bihar Bodhgaya,Bihar ABSTRACT Sunderban forest is shared between Bangladesh and India, it is the world’s largest, continuous coastal wetland. It covers an area of about one million hectares in the delta of the rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna. Enormous amounts of sediments carried by the river system contribute to the expansion and dynamics of this delta. The Sunderban area experiences subtropical monsoonal climate with an annual rainfall of 1,600–1,800 mm and occasional severe cyclonic storms [2]. The maximum elevation within the Sundarbans is only 10 m above the mean sea level. The western and eastern limits of the Sundarbans are defined by the course of the River Hooghly (a distributary of river Ganges) and River Baleshwar, respectively. About 60 % of the mangrove forests lie in the Khulna District of Bangladesh and the rest in the 24-Paragnas District of West Bengal (India). A large number of channels and creeks flow into larger rivers in the Sundarbans. The Sundarbans, shared between Bangladesh and India, is the world’s largest, continuous coastal wetland.

  • The Spiritual Tradition in the Novels of Raja Rao Sunil N
    The Spiritual Tradition in the Novels of Raja Rao Sunil N. Wathore Asst. Prof. & HoD. English Arts & Science College, Pulgaon, Dist. Wardha, Affl. Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur. Email: [email protected] Cell: 9371957169. Abstract: Raja Rao is one of the most widely acclaimed Indian English novelists whose fate rests on wide range of his intellectual, spiritual, national, political and social thought content. Rao as novelist of spiritual dimensions is redemptive in the extreme. He has delineated the microscopically Indian scenario as far as spiritual, political, social and cultural realities are concerned. Being an active participant in political movement, highly educated, and highly influenced by spiritual leaders, Rao has analyzed the socio-political situations of India, spiritual tradition and religions of the nation; and used to breathe the patriotic and spiritualistic zeal among the masses by bringing spirituality in practical life through his novels. Deeply affected by the loss of traditional, cultural and metaphysical values, he dedicates his novels to a very deep and penetrating quest through fictional exercise. In the beginning of his novels, he delineates the feelings of patriotism and religion but gradually his wider, deeper spiritual outlook embraces them all and transcends them too. He presents a spiritual problem of man and also its worthwhile solution through an imaginative and emotional exploration of a particular metaphysical system. The present Research Paper deals with works of Raja Rao as far as his delineation of Indian nationalism and spiritual tradition is concerned. Keywords: Nationalism, Spiritualism, Intellectual, Political and Social thought content, Novels. Introduction: Born in Mysore Raja Rao belongs to an old and learned Brahmin family.

  • Braj Kachru'S Vision of World Englishes
    TRIBUTE Braj Kachru’s vision of world Englishes Braj Kachru devoted his life to the idea that the English language is a plurality. In the course of his long academic career, spanning three continents, he developed the view that the English language is best termed and perceived in the plural, ‘Englishes,’ and, because of its potential for inclusivity and commonality across the world, ‘world Englishes.’ Braj’s work in conceiving and implementing the vision of world Englishes originated from his multilingual upbringing and education in India, and was further developed by his study of Indian English as a graduate student in Edinburgh in the late 1950s. At that time there was a growing interest within British linguistics, in the study of varieties of English in various parts of the world. Braj’s article on ‘The Indianness of Indian English’ in Word in 1965, shows his clear awareness of the distinctiveness of this variety, and the constellation of cultural reasons for this distinctiveness. In his view, the English language, transplanted to an area outside its traditional range, is nativized to answer to the communicational needs and sociocultural identities of its users. Pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and discourse serve the needs of speakers in their sociolinguistic reality, and new varieties emerge in new contexts. English (singular) is now Englishes (plural). Or is it? The applied linguistic literature of the 1960s and 1970s shows a reluctance to accept or even to acknowledge the reality of this position. Explictly or implicitly, specialists argued or assumed that ‘there could be only one’ model for learners. Or perhaps, that there could be only two models that counted, Model B (British), and Model A (American).
