ROLE OF NEW MEDIA IN TELANGANA MOVEMENT

Abstract

Since the Seattle anti-globalization protests in 1999 the adoption of new information and communications technologies (ICTs) by social movement activists has offered the prospect of a serious challenge to traditional forms of political participation. With its transnational many-to-many communication facility, the internet offers revolutionary potential for social movements to speak directly to the citizens of the world, circumventing the ‘official’ messages of political organizations and traditional media. Furthermore, electronic mail, mailing lists, websites, electronic forums and other online applications provide powerful tools for coordinating activity among geographically dispersed individuals, and for shaping collective identity. Mobile phone emerged as a powerful instrument in the hands of people. In order to achieve the statehood for Telangana also new media were used widely by the netizens. This paper is an attempt to delineate the role played by new media during Telangana movement and to analyze their potential in shaping the public consensus for the cause of separate statehood for Telangana.

“ROLE OF BANK MITRA IN SHGs”

Abstract

SHG formation, capacity building and bank linkage is an important aspect for creation of sustainable SHGs. The staffing pattern of rural and semi urban branches are more or less inadequate to handle the day to day business of the regular customers. The SHG customers due to their ignorance and illiteracy find it difficult to receive the attention of branch staff and at times are trapped by the clutches of unwanted mediators and are exploited. To obviate the troubles and inconvenience faced by women SHG members and streamlining easy access to banking, it is conceptualized to identify bank MITRA and avail their services for hassle free availability of bank products to SHG members.

“ROLE OF BANK MITRA IN SHGs”

Abstract

Presently our Indian economy is to a great extent by large number of people working in unorganized sectors as unorganized workers. More than 400 million people – almost 85% of the working population in India – work in the unorganized sector. Of these, at least 120 million are women. Workers involved in the unorganized sector do not have the benefit of several laws such as the Minimum Wages Act or the Factories Act. The term ‘unorganized’ is often used interchangeably with the term ‘informal’, or employment in the informal sector. Discrimination at the workplace remains a contentious and yet, an ever present issue for women. By and large, there are three types of issues of unorganized sector workers that need to be addressed. It is time to address the issues and discuss the kind of policy reforms and institutional changes required for the emancipation and empowerment of rural female labour force. Empowerment should aim at changing the nature and direction of the power structures which marginalize the women workers.

AN EFFECTIVE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN TACKLING CHILD LABOUR

Abstract

Child labour takes place when children are forced to work at an age when they are expected to work study and enjoy their phase of innocence. It implies lost or deprived childhood that leads to exploitation of children in various forms: mental, physical, social, sexual and so on. Child labour is one of the gravest problems faced by the Indian society for a long time. It has been around for decades. When a child is pushed into work, it snatches from him his chances of getting a happy and fulfilling childhood. At the same time, it robs children of their true potential, hampers their physical and mental health and goes against their dignity. Poor education that goes hand in hand with child labour plagues India and is a big roadblock in India’s economic development.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICY OF INDIA AN ANALYSIS

Abstract

normal functioning of the society or community”.
India is vulnerable, in varying degrees, to a large number of natural as well as man-made disasters. 58.6 per cent of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of moderate to very high intensity; over 40 million hectares (12 per cent of land) is prone to floods and river erosion; of the 7,516 km long coastline, close to 5,700 km is prone to cyclones and tsunamis; 68 per cent of the cultivable area is vulnerable to drought and hilly areas are at risk from landslides and avalanches. Vulnerability to disasters/emergencies of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) origin also exists. Heightened vulnerabilities to disaster risks can be related to expanding population, urbanisation and industrialisation, development within high-risk zones, environmental degradation and climate. Mainstreaming disaster management into the developmental planning process.
Disaster Management Act, 2005,
which envisaged the creation of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), headed by the Prime Minister, State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs) headed by the Chief Ministers, and District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMAs) headed by the District Collector or District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner as the case may be, to spearhead and adopt a holistic and integrated approach to DM.
Disaster Prevention and Mitigation
Unlike man-made disasters, natural hazards like floods, earthquakes, and cyclones cannot be avoided. However, with mitigation measures along with proper planning of developmental work in the risk prone area, these hazards can be prevented from turning into disasters.
A multi-pronged approach needs to be adopted to undertake mitigation measures:
• Building mitigation measures into all development projects.
• Initiating of National level mitigation projects by the NDMA, in high priority areas, with the help of the Central Ministries and Departments concerned and the States.
• Encouraging and assisting State level mitigation projects in accordance with the guidelines.
• Indigenous knowledge on disaster and coping mechanisms adopted by various States will be given due weightage with special focus on protection of heritage structures. The research on cross-cutting themes including technological and man-made disasters will be promoted in addition to natural disasters. Research and Development in areas such as micro-zonation and scenario development based on simulation studies will also be encouraged to assess the short-term and long-term consequences of these disasters
