Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Lecture 3
COMPONENTS OF SOCIAL CASE WORK IN DETAIL
There are four components of Social Casework:
[1.]PERSON
[2.]PROBLEM
[3.]PLACE
[4.]PROCESS
Person
The person is a man, woman or child or anyone who finds himself/herself, or is found to be, in
need of help in some aspect of his social-emotional living, whether the need be for tangible
provisions or counsel. As he/she begins to receive help, he/she is called a “client”. A client is
one who seeks professional help, one who employs the help of another or one who is served
by a social agency or an institution.
Clients are of several types:
1. Those who ask for appropriate help for themselves.
2. Those who ask for help for another person or system.
3. Those who do not seek help but are in some way blocking or threatening the social
functioning of another person (e.g., the neglectful parent in a child protection case).
4. Those who seek or use help as a means to reach their own goals or ends.
5. Those who seek help but for inappropriate goals.
David Landy has identified the process a person goes through in seeking help or becoming

a client:
1. The help seeker must decide something is wrong.
2. The help seeker must face the probability that family, friends and neighbours will know
of his disability.
3. The help seeker must decide to admit to a helper he is in distress, failed or is not capable
of handling his own problem.
4. The help seeker must decide to surrender enough sovereignty and autonomy to place
himself in a dependency role.
5. The help seeker must decide to direct his search for help among persons and resources
known to him.
6. The help seeker must decide to take time off a job or from other responsibilities to
receive help.
7. The help seeker may realize that in receiving help relationship with others may be
threatened.
The person comes with concerns, unmet needs and problems of social functioning. Felix
Biestik has identified seven needs of clients as they come to the helping situation:
1. To be dealt with as an individual rather than a type or category.
2. To express feelings both positive and negative.
3. To be accepted as a person of worth, a person with innate dignity.
4. Sympathetic understanding of and response to feelings expressed.
5. To be neither judged nor condemned for the difficulty in which the clients finds
himself.
6. To make own choices and decisions concerning one’s own life.
7. To help keep confidential information about self as secret as possible.
Problems
Problem, according to the America Heritage dictionary is a “question or situation that presents
uncertainty, perplexity or difficulty”. This definition is rather inadequate without elaboration
for defining in this unit.
1) When does a situation become problematic?
2) When does a problematic situation become appropriate for social work concern?
Clarification of the term becomes somewhat easier if one looks at a problem in terms of both
need and social functioning, Concern for and need of human systems is the basis of the social
work response. When the need is seen as mitigating a block to social functioning, a problem of

concern to social work is said to exist. This concern should be understood also to include
potential blocks to human functioning so as to include preventive as well as ameliorative
concerns. The perplexing situation is then related to removal of the obstacle that blocks need
fulfilment. For problem solution, goals are related to need fulfilment.
Characteristics of Problem:
i. The problems are those which vitally affect or are affected by a person’s social
functioning. The problem may be some unmet needs-economic, medical,
educational, recreational-which hampers or undermines a person’s adequate living.
Or it may be one of stress-psychological, social, physical- which causes the person
to be ineffective or disturbed in carrying his/her social roles.
ii. Problems in any part of a human beings living tend to have “chain reaction.”
Whatever hurts one parts of his/her living will have its impact in other parts.
iii. Any problem which a person encounters has both an objective(external) and a
subjective(internal) significance.
iv. Not only do the external (objective) and internal (subjective) aspects of the problem
co-exist, but either one may be the cause of the other.
Place
The place is a social service agency or a social service department of another kind of human
welfare agency. The place to which the person comes for help with his/her problem is known
as a social agency. The term “agency” has a misleading American sound, but it was used in
British case work literature in the late nineteenth century. Present day usage refers to the
institution within which the case worker practices; sometimes it is the larger institution that is
intended (e.g. the local authority) and at other times it is the smaller social work microcosm
(e.g. the psychiatric social work department in a mental hospital). The institutions in which
case workers practice (schools, child guidance clinics, children’s departments of the hospitals
and courts and so on) have all been established to achieve certain broad social purposes and
case workers have a part to play in achieving them. Its purpose is to help individuals with the
particular social handicaps which hampers good personal or family living and with the
problems created by faulty person-to-person, person-to-group or person-to-situation
relationships. This agency’s purpose and functions come to life in the person and professional
performance of the case worker.
Perlman has described some of the characteristics of Agency:

a. The social agency is an organization fashioned to express the will of a society or of
some group in that society. An agency embodies a society’s decision to protect its
members against social breakdowns, to prevent their maladjustments and/or to promote
the development of better or higher levels of humans functioning.
b. Each social agency develops a programme by which to meet the particular areas of
need with which it sets out to deal-The agency programme consists of the aids and
activities by which its intent is translated into provisions of help.
c. The social agency has a structure by which it organizes and delegates its
responsibilities and tasks, and governing policies and procedures by which it
stabilizes and systematizes its operations-structure, as it may be depicted on an
organizational chart, is the agency’s anatomy.
d. The social agency is a living, adaptable organism susceptible to being understood
and changed, much as other living organisms-If agency structure may be seen as its
anatomy, its operations may represent its physiology, and the purposes, attitudes, and
goal directions of its personnel and board are its psychology.
e. Every staff member in an agency speaks and acts for some part of the agency’s
function, and the case worker represents the agency in its individualized problem-
solving help-What a case worker can do with and for his client derives both from his
professional commitment and skill and from the agency which hires him/her.
f. The case worker, while representing his/her agency, is first and foremost a
representative of his/her profession-The social case worker practices in the
conviction that individual human welfare is the purpose and the test of social policy;
that his/her attitude combine open enquiry with dedication to the people and the person
he/she serves; that he/she maintains “social-conscience” and that he/she conducts
himself ethically in all his/her professional transactions.
Process
The process, is a progressive transaction between the professional helper (the case worker)
and the client. It consists of a series of problem-solving operations carried out within a
meaningful relationship. The end of this process is contained in its means: to influence the
client-person that he/she develops effectiveness in coping with his/her problem and /or to so
influence the problem as to resolve it or reduce its effects. As the social worker develops skill

in the problem-solving process, thinking about the phenomena being confronted will begin to
take place in orderly steps. These steps appear to be simple but are quite complex in application
