Mankind in Action for Rural Growth (MARG) is a non-profit organization established in 2006 in New Delhi to help underprivileged communities through education, healthcare, and livelihood generation. MARG works to combat human trafficking in the vulnerable North Bengal region of India by rescuing trafficking victims, arresting traffickers, raising awareness through student clubs, and coordinating with police and other NGOs. However, MARG faces ongoing challenges like lack of support for older trafficking victims, involvement of local authorities, and reintegrating rescued victims into their communities.
SPAR has been working to prevent trafficking of women and children in West Bengal since 2006. Their strategies include sourcing cases through community networks, ensuring rescue operations, and providing psychosocial and economic rehabilitation. From 2006-2012, they sourced over 270 cases, rescued over 100 victims, and reunited over 150 with their families. Challenges include lack of cooperation from police, inadequate post-reunification support, and threats against families. SPAR is working to strengthen their network across districts and states to more effectively intervene in trafficking cases.
This document discusses communal violence and the role of social work in addressing it. It defines communalism as attempts to promote religious stereotypes and violence between religious groups. Communal violence includes both physical and structural violence targeting people based on their religious or ethnic identity. The document identifies several causative factors for communal violence, including psycho-social factors like "othering" and identity crises, as well as political, cultural, economic, and historical factors. It proposes several social work interventions to address communal hatred and violence such as awareness generation, conflict mitigation, advocacy, and counseling. The conclusion emphasizes that communalism poses a serious threat to Indian democracy and that social workers must intervene proactively to build a just society.
Communal harmony refers to amity between religious communities in a country without tension or friction. In multicultural India, communal harmony is essential for internal peace and national progress. Communal issues are sensitive and cannot be ignored given India's cultural heritage and secular ideals. Some famous temples in Telangana include the Bhadrakali Temple in Warangal, Yadagirigutta Temple, and Thousand Pillar Temple. India has long been an example of peaceful coexistence between religions, though tensions have arisen after independence. To promote communal harmony, institutions like Kendriya Vidyalaya celebrate a Communal Harmony Week with awareness events.
Communal violence has been a blight on India's history as a secular democracy intended to provide equality and justice regardless of religion. Pictures from deadly riots in India show the aftermath, including a mob torching a train in Godhra in 2002 that killed 56 Hindus and triggered further riots. Buildings and shops were set on fire by angry crowds as the violence spread, seen in the burned wreckage, while citizens and firefighters worked to contain the damage.
The document discusses communal violence and the role of the media in India. It notes that India has a long history of communal violence that is often engineered rather than spontaneous. It highlights several past incidents of religious violence. The document also analyzes how media reports sometimes misrepresent or fail to accurately capture the realities on the ground during communal conflicts. It discusses international criticism of India's secularism and the rise of communalism. The conclusion argues that as the fourth pillar of democracy, the Indian media needs to be more independent, unbiased, and help investigate the perpetrators of religious violence and help serve justice.
Communal riots occur due to socio-cultural differences between communities in India. Contributing factors include a gap between expectations and achievement due to economic, social, or political changes, as well as inequality based on religion or caste. Major communal riots in India's history include those in Calcutta (1946), during Partition (1947), the Delhi Sikh massacre (1984), Bhagalpur (1989), Hyderabad (1990), Kashmir (1990), Ayodhya (1992), Bombay (1993), and Gujarat (2002). The Gujarat riots led to segregation of Hindu and Muslim localities and significant property damage, loss of life, and disabilities. To remedy the situation, impartial

This document discusses corruption in India and citizen efforts to combat it. It notes that India ranks highly in several areas but 85th on corruption perception. Common people must pay bribes for public services. The 5th Pillar movement aims to empower citizens to eliminate corruption by distributing zero-rupee notes when asked for bribes and pledging not to give or take bribes. Over a million zero-rupee notes have been distributed nationwide and 500,000 students have pledged not to be involved in bribery. The movement seeks to inform citizens of their rights and gather data to help them navigate government systems without paying bribes. Its goal is to distribute 250 million zero-rupee notes and break the silence around corruption issues
This document provides a series of rhetorical questions intended to encourage gratitude and perspective. It prompts the reader to consider those who have faced greater hardships in order to appreciate what one has. It suggests enjoying life for what it is and recognizing that while some things may be unfair, others have it much worse. It encourages sharing this message to spread its message of gratitude.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un embargo petrolero contra Rusia en respuesta a la invasión de Ucrania. El embargo prohibirá las importaciones marítimas de petróleo ruso a la UE y pondrá fin a las entregas a través de oleoductos dentro de seis meses. Esta medida forma parte de un sexto paquete de sanciones de la UE destinadas a aumentar la presión económica sobre Moscú y privar al Kremlin de fondos para financiar su guerra.
A young girl uses a garbage bag as a pillow as she relaxes, looking at the viewer, but becomes anxious when she sees her rag picker father. The girl's face lights up like a 5000 watt bulb when lifted by her father, and like a 10000 watt bulb when reaching his shoulder.
This document discusses several natural and man-made dangers facing the world. It notes that earthquakes and tsunamis can kill thousands in an instant without discrimination. The number of powerful hurricanes has doubled in the last 35 years due to sea warming. Climate change is also causing the Arctic to become ice-free and the Antarctic to collapse, raising sea levels by 35 feet. Volcanoes release gases and ash that can destroy buildings. Mosquitoes kill more humans than wars, and malaria causes more deaths than all wars combined. Diseases are increasing as humans encroach on animal habitats. Man-made dangers include polluted water killing children and shrinking farmland causing food shortages and price increases.

The document discusses the concept of "Ma" which represents motherliness and communal harmony. It argues that humans face many common threats from climate change, natural disasters, diseases, and other issues. However, instead of uniting to address these common problems, people continue fighting over religion, caste, and other differences. The document advocates for people of all faiths to join together under the ideology of "Ma" to work on common causes and fight against these shared threats facing humanity.
This document describes a journey through scales of size from 1 meter to billions of light years and back down to fractions of an atom. It explores scales from the macrocosm of galaxies down to the microcosm within an atom. The key ideas are that the laws of physics remain consistent across all scales and that there is still much to learn about the universe and our place within it.
This document describes a journey through scales of size from 1 meter to billions of light years and back down to fractions of an atom. It explores scales from the macrocosm of galaxies down to the microcosm inside an atom. The key idea is the constancy of physical laws across all scales of size in the universe, from the largest to the smallest.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.

The document discusses the establishment of Students' Exnora chapters in schools and colleges to promote environmental protection activities. It describes how students repaired an abandoned toilet at their school to create a zero waste center for composting and recycling. Similar centers were also created at VIT college. The Students' Exnora would be led by a governing committee of office bearers and directors overseeing activities like waste management, tree planting, and pollution prevention. Photos show examples of cleanup activities and awareness campaigns organized by Students' Exnora groups.
