In India, normally the proposed buildings are
either residential or commercial cum residential. Generally, the
parking is provided in the basement of the buildings or open to the
sky, based on the availability of space. But there are some cases
due to the high cost of land, it is not possible to provide an open
space parking facility. On the other hand, parking facilities are
very critical in metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Kolkata,
Chennai, Delhi, etc. Due to the high number of vehicles on the
roads. In some places due to the non-availability of the parking,
the people had to face issue in their day to day work and some
times had to pay fine for illegal parking. In this project, the crisis
of the parking facilities is kept in mind and relative research is
done to check whether it can be adapted in the cities of India or
not to minimize the issues. And also the analysis of structures is
done to check the stability of the structures.

Project bowstring : A perspective on revitalizing Janata BazaarNishanth Patil
PROBLEM STATEMENT :
Janata Bazar located in the heart of Hubli city is a prime hub for small time vendors and traders. It is spread over 1.76 acres of prime commercial land, housing makeshift shops and a couple of buildings in dilapidated condition. The market is plagued by problems such as congestion, poor pedestrian circulation, poor fire safety, and lack of civic amenities. All of these problems have contributed towards the slum like conditions prevailing here today.
To solve a problem of this nature it is imperative to seek a consensus between the needs of the stakeholders, viz. the resident vendors and traders, Municipal Corporation and other Direct and Indirect Beneficiaries before any sort of plan is brought forward.
SCOPE :
i. To address all the above grievances and put forth an economically viable solution involving conjoint efforts from government and private enterprise.
ii. To untap the economic potential of the area.
iii. To proffer an urban renewal model on strong fundamentals to ensure sustenance and ergo give healthy returns to all key stakeholders.
iv. To study consumer behaviour and ensure generation of projected earnings.
CONCLUSION :
Segregation of land along a tripartite manner i.e. Resident occupation of land, land for the proposed mall and land for community parking is mainstreamed.
The core proposal involves multi-modal infrastructure consisting of a stadia arrangement to house the resident vendors, a separate commercial hub for the resident traders and a shopping mall consisting of a G+4 structure with 2 levels of sub-surface dedicated parking arrangement.
The stadia arrangement for the resident vendors is designed to rehabilitate, rejuvenate and renew the scenario. Surprisingly enough, the capacity has been increased by 15% in the dedicated vendor space. Realistic loading patterns conforming to projected footfalls and deflections have been incorporated.
With this proposal we like to present a model of urban re-development which is both replicable and executable in other areas facing such scenarios, thus creating ‘economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities’.

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
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.
