Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Her Excellency Ms. Pratibha Patil, President of the Republic of India, His Excellency Mr. Hamid Ansari, Vice President of the Republic of India, His Excellency Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of the Republic of India, Her Excellency Madam Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen. Assalamu Alaikum and Good Morning. I am deeply honored on being awarded the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for 2009. This most prestigious Prize also greatly honors my country and people. I thank the Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust for this memorable gesture. I also thank Her Excellency Pratibha Patil, His Excellency Hamid Ansari, His Excellency Dr.Manmohan Singh, and Her Excellency Mrs. Sonia Gandhi for the gracious words addressed to me and to my country. On this special moment of honor, I recall with profound respect your great leader, Late Indira Gandhi, who regarded the world economic order "based on domination and inequality," as unsustainable. She pursued a life dedicated to peace, justice, and democracy. Her unfaltering stand for the deprived and downtrodden was well known, and was not confined only within the borders of India. When the people of Bangladesh in 1971, were in the throes of pain, subjugation, and bloodshed by the ruling occupation forces, she rallied support for the victims within India, and around the world.

    SFD PROMOTION INITIATIVE PHASE III SFD PROMOTION INITIATIVE PHASE-III Aim Scale up of Shit Flow Diagram approach to 1) bridge the existing gap in availability of data for monitoring safely managed sanitation (SDG 6.2) and 2) for improved citywide sanitation planning and effective sanitation investments in urban areas Background An excreta flow diagram (also often described as shit flow diagram, SFD) is a tool to readily understand and communicate how excreta physically flows through a city or town. For more info on SFD and the SFD promotion initiative visit https://sfd. susana.org/ During the first two phases of the SFD promotion initiative, CSE was closely working with SFD PI partners (BMGF, EAWAG, GIZ, University of Leeds, WEDC, World Bank) to develop tools and methods for the production of SFDs and refinement based on feedback received from sector practitioners. As part of the SFD Phase 1 & 2 grants, CSE prepared more than 100 SFDs (65 + in Ganga basin states & the rest for other cities in India). CSE has made a considerable contribution to support the production and review of good-quality SFDs as well as help train practitioners. A demonstrated impact is the uptake of the approach by local, regional and national organiza- tions and governmental agencies - in particular in India, South Africa (WRC with CSE technical support launched a national campaign) and in state / cities in Africa and South Asia, where there is widespread use of SFDs for advocacy and as a tool to map progress across the sanitation value chain.

    Research paper IJMSRR E- ISSN - 2349-6746 ISSN -2349-6738 INDIA’S POLICY TOWARDS BANGLADESH DURING UPA GOVERNMENT Zahoor Ahmad Malik Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, Vikram University, Ujjain, MP, India. ABSTRACT India and Bangladesh share proximity of culture, history, language and geography. India’s relations with Bangladesh are multi-dimensional- ideological, political and also economic. An extreme sense of distrust, insecurity and perceived domination by India has shaped Bangladesh’s foreign policy in recent years. In spite of this intimate relationship, ties between the two countries have remained problematic. Among the many challenges facing the relationship are river water sharing, trade and transit, illegal migration and border management. One recent source of tension has been violence on the border. Even though there have been attempts on both sides to bring peace and tranquility to the border, success has been elusive. In the social, cultural and economic fields the two countries tried to strengthen their bonds and concluded a number of agreements. Similarly in the field of science and technology the two countries agreed to cooperate. The two countries also amicably settled certain border issues. The last decade has seen a new development in India’s foreign policy, The UPA government has sought to improve political relations and deepen economic partnership with Bangladesh. This paper examines the India’s ties with Bangladesh, areas of cooperation and challenges during UPA government. This paper seeks to establish the challenged and opportunities for furtherance of India-Bangladesh ties, in light of recent development. Keywords: Brief History, India’s Foreign Policy, Area of Cooperation and Challenges, Future Prospects.
