Sindhudurg district in Maharashtra has been declared the cleanest district in India due to 16 years of community-led cleanliness initiatives. The district started sanitation efforts early through government campaigns in 2000-2001 that used traditional performers and religious meetings to promote sanitation. By 2014, Sindhudurg was close to being declared open defecation free. Peer pressure and listing families that built toilets encouraged participation. Schools teach children about sanitation to influence parents. Even small towns like Vengurla have high participation in recycling and sorting waste. Sindhudurg aims to be plastic free and process liquid waste, showing community commitment to cleanliness.

Goonj's work relief & rehab work in J&K (Sept'14- June'15) Goonj..
Massive flooding in Jammu and Kashmir in 2014 left 300 people dead, 150,000 stranded, and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed. The organization Goonj responded quickly, reaching Srinagar on September 11th to support relief efforts. They established 29 first aid centers, provided medical supplies to 14 government hospitals, and distributed blankets, food, books and other supplies to thousands of affected families. Over several months, Goonj coordinated extensive relief and rehabilitation work with many local partners to help those impacted by the floods.
Hon Vivek took pad yatra in Betul which started with River Taapti conservation program and dialogue with farmers and Bangladeshi immigrant ( during Bangladesh independence and trubled time in former east Pakistan ) to understand their problem.
The report summarizes Goonj's relief efforts in the second phase of their work in Uttarakhand following the 2013 floods. Some key aspects included identifying local needs through community meetings rather than distributing uniform aid, implementing 'Cloth for Work' programs to motivate infrastructure development, and providing over 10,000 winter relief kits to families. Goonj also addressed education needs through school supply kits, supported computer and tuition centers, and initiated various livelihood programs focused on skills like sewing and spice making. Their work reached over 300 remote villages and involved distributing relief materials, developing community infrastructure, and addressing ongoing gaps in services.
1) Rambati, a woman from Karkhana Tole village in Sunsari, Nepal, recalls a devastating flood in 1990 when she had just given birth and had to stay in a dangling bed for two days without much food.
2) The village is prone to frequent flooding and other disasters that damage homes and crops. There was no disaster management system previously.
3) With support from a local NGO, the community formed a disaster management committee and began collecting "fistfuls of rice" daily to stockpile food for emergencies. Rambati is an active participant in these efforts.
Goonj provided relief aid to areas affected by the Nepal earthquake of 2015. This was their first international relief effort. They facilitated sending over 1.5 lakh kgs of dry food, tents, blankets, solar lights and other necessities to remote areas through local partners. Relief material was collected from donors in India and transported via trucks and helicopters to difficult to access regions across Nepal. Goonj established collection hubs and worked with various organizations in Nepal to distribute the supplies to thousands of affected families.

Many districts in Bihar were hit by a cyclone on April 21st and then an earthquake on April 25th. This caused houses to break, belongings to be lost, and disruption to roads and communications. Around 150 people died and hundreds were injured across areas bordering Nepal. The worst affected districts included Purnea, Katihar, Madhepura, Saharsa, Supaul, Madhubani, Darbhanga and Sitamarhi. Goonj's relief team rushed to the affected areas to assess needs and set up a temporary base camp in Purnea, distributing relief materials like tarpaulins, blankets, family kits with food and supplies, and over 25,000 kgs of
The document summarizes a 4-day camp called "Youth for Drought" held in Jalna, India from April 24-28, 2013 to address the drought situation. Over 100 youth volunteers from different districts participated in the camp's activities, which included cleaning a dried-up lake to remove physical and mental barriers caused by the long-term water scarcity. The camp aimed to motivate the local community to collectively address the drought and saw increasing participation from over 1,500 residents by the final day. Donations were collected for continued drought relief work and local leaders pledged future support and involvement.
Goonj organized relief efforts for floods in Uttarakhand in 2013. They set up a base camp in Rishikesh and distributed relief supplies such as food, blankets, and sanitary pads to over 2000 families across 15 villages. The relief effort involved partner organizations and local community members to transport supplies through difficult terrain using mules, porters, and rafters. Goonj is committed to long term rehabilitation work for 300 villages, including restoring local infrastructure like schools and introducing programs for health, education, and livelihoods.
Riots in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli camps in Uttar Pradesh left many people's lives changed overnight, with hundreds living in tents without livelihoods or stability. Goonj assessed the situation and provided immediate relief to over 13 camps, distributing woolens, clothes, sanitary products, toys, shoes, and other essential items. Goonj's temporary toy centers helped traumatized children in some camps regain their childhoods. Over time, Goonj distributed relief supplies via 6 trucks to help replace tattered tents and meet other needs, but the future remains unpredictable as camps are dismantled and elections approach.

The document discusses how chanting the name of God works to reduce excessive thoughts and bring spiritual benefits. It explains that our subconscious mind contains impressions that influence our conscious mind. Chanting can help create a new "devotion center" impression that occupies the subconscious. As this center grows through practice, it helps deflect unnecessary thoughts and modifies negative ones. When the devotion center expands to fill the entire subconscious, it brings experiences like bliss, merging with God, and aligning with God's will. The spiritual practice of chanting can thus help improve our mental state and make our existence happier.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
