Food Female Heroes in Armenia, Stories of Women Farmers from Armenian Communi...Oxfam in Armenia
According to statistics, 37,5% of Armenia’s population lives in the rural communities, moreover, half of the poverty-stricken people are women from rural areas. Despite the reforms which are being carried out in Armenia, the agriculture sector is still underdeveloped and farmers are very vulnerable. This is conditioned by a number of problems such as land and water resources scarcity, under-developed industrial, market and social infrastructures, etc.
While living in very hard conditions, Armenian women are village keepers. They overcome hardship and difficulties with courage, struggle against natural disasters, cultivate crops, collect harvest, participate in livestock care, bring up children, and have a huge contribution in the community development. But they unfortunately stay in the background whereas, the work they do is genuine heroism.
To promote women who work in agricultural field in Armenia and who have been successful in bringing positive change in sustainable development of their community, since 2011 Oxfam, with the Ministry of Agriculture and local partners, has been organizing Food Female Hero national award This year Oxfam FFH event main theme was food security and the role of women farmers in promoting food security and healthy nutrition.

Woman and Climate Change: What is the connection?
Impacts of climate change, such as drought, floods, extreme weather events and reduced food and water security, affect women and men differently with the poorest being the most vulnerable. 70 per cent of the world’s poor are women. Even though women are therefore disproportionately affected, at the same time they play a crucial role in climate change adaptation and mitigation actions. It is increasingly evident that involving women and men in all decision-making processes on climate action is a significant factor in meeting the climate challenge and achieving the long-term objectives of the Convention

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.

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.

Women in agriculture in pakistan A Lecture By Mr.Allah Dad Khan Visiting Professor the university of Agriculture Peshawar
1.
2.
3. Pakistan is a country with a great deal of diversity
in culture, traditions, habits, attitudes and
practices across its various provinces and
regions, although there are similarities as well.
So when the broad term of “Women in
Agriculture” is used, it may not highlight the
extensive and diverse role that women have in
other provinces or regions. The role and
responsibilities of women change as the
geographic area changes, along with changing
local customs and traditions. Even the gender
roles, food and nutrition practices vary across
different areas, ethnic groups as well as
ecological zones.
4. Rural women play a very significant role in agriculture. A
large portion of rural women perform unpaid work in
agriculture. However, women’s role differs according to
geographical zones. Along the coast, women work as
agricultural labors in the cultivation of export crops as well
as in food production for the household. In the mountain
zone, women participate in all the agricultural tasks,
especially in land preparation, sowing, banking, weeding,
harvesting and irrigation and are responsible for livestock
and small scale marketing. In fisheries sector, women are
involved in food processing and marketing. As women
have the major responsibility for post harvest activities
such as processing and storage, they play a key role in
household food security.
5. Women also perform a major role in livestock,
especially in regard to shepherding, feeding,
milking and calving. Women farmers do not
have equal access to resources and this
significantly limits their potential in
enhancing productivity. They are often at a
severe disadvantage when it comes to
securing land tenure rights, owning livestock,
accessing financial services, receiving the
kind of extension services and resources
(Amin et al, 2009).
6. The prosperity and growth of a nation
depends on the position and development of
its females, as they not only constitute nearly
half of its population but also positively
influence the growth of remaining half of the
population. Rural women play momentous
role in many agricultural activities in many
countries. They perform almost all types of
activities in agriculture and livestock sector
7. The major constraint for the involvement of
women in agricultural activities is the
household activities which takes much time
to perform it. In Pakistan, majority of
population live in rural areas whose source of
revenue depends directly or indirectly on
agriculture sector
8. Rural women in Pakistan are among the millions
of landless and small farmers (Sadaf et al, 2006).
Rural women rely on crop production and
livestock sector to fulfill their basic needs of
food, clothing and shelter. These women play a
key role in agriculture growth, livestock raising,
cottage industry and stay busy from sunrise to
sunset to provide food to men in the fields,
fetching water, collecting fuel wood and
management of livestock. While working
shoulder to shoulder with men, they really
supplement their efforts in the cultivation of the
crops right from the preparation of soil to the
post harvest operations.
10. Attitudinal and behavioral change particularly
in men is very important in improving the
plight of the women in Pakistan. There are
certain social taboos which are hampering the
access to education and training. Women
should get equal opportunity of education
just like men. They have a right to good
health and they should stand up and speak
for their right. It is recommended that ways
to raise awareness and provide education to
address gender issues must be provided
11. In order to improve women participation in dairy and
agriculture industry we have to identify their role and
type of work in these industries as mango and citrus
are considered heavy crops. Women are involved in
picking, grading and packing activities at Mitchells
Industries in Okara district and there is need to
implement that style in other areas as well.
Therefore, by imparting post harvest management
skills such as processing, packing and quality control
will help them in establishing juice, jam and pickle
industries at local level. It will promote local
entrepreneurships. It is recommended that
agriculture training for women be offered on farms
and in local villages
12. Rural women generally lack training, skills
and opportunities in this area. There is need
to involve urbanite women in this area so that
they could also play an effective role in this
area as well. It is recommended that
developmental programmes should be
launched to engage urban women with rural
women in order to develop market skills in
rural women so that they could get good
price for their produce
13. They can play a positive role in improving
women participation in agriculture industry in
Pakistan by providing training to women at
their door step. There are farm field schools
for men in some areas of the Punjab so there
is need to replicate this experiment for
women as well. It is recommended to develop
a training programme for female agriculture
extension workers
14. Women should be encouraged to have
economic independence. The government
should investigate opportunities for
developing agricultural entrepreneurial
activities with concomitant training for
women.
