  Boost Shipping to Boost Growth
PROPOSAL TO GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR UNION BUDGET DATED 9 TH FEBRUARY 2015″
Though development of Maritime Transport Industry , Shipping Industry and Maritime Industry is one of the biggest ideas for boosting economic development of the country, somehow the governments have not been given the thrust it deserves for decades. Today, the 7,500-km coastline of the country is grossly under utilized. This budget gives an opportunity for the government to lay a strong foundation for an all round development of this sector, including ports and inland and coastal shipping, and very importantly creating an atmosphere for promotion of MERHANT NAVY amongst youth by granting a liberal annual budget outlay and encouraging private participation along with foreign participation.
We need your support to reach up to Government and its respective authorities.
We always get high value cooperation from all national press / media, expecting this time too.
 
Thanking you,
With warm regards,
Rajeev

NBA Press Note dated 10th Feb, 2015

11 02 2015
Popovich earns win No. 1,000 as Spurs get past Pacers

INDIANAPOLIS: San Antonio rallied from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit and got an 18-foot baseline jumper from Marco Belinelli with 2.1 seconds left to give Popovich a milestone 95-93 victory at Indiana.  Gregg Popovich’s grand plan has produced plenty of wins. The Spurs made it an even 1,000 for him on Monday night. Only two coaches, Phil Jackson and Pat Riley, reached 1,000 wins faster than Popovich. Only one other coach, Jerry Sloan, achieved the feat with one team. Sloan won 1,127 games with Utah. Popovich is 1,000-462 in 19 NBA seasons, all with San Antonio.
After Sunday night’s loss in Toronto, he deactivated Manu Ginobili and carefully tracked the minutes of Parker and Tim Duncan. Parker and Duncan, who had 15 points and eight rebounds, each played 30 minutes, 23 seconds and didn’t enter the fourth quarter until just before the closing run began.


           Heat rally to top Knicks, Thunder beat Nuggets

        
MIAMI: Chris Bosh scored 32 points, Mario Chalmers added 18 to lead a big effort from Miami’s trio of point guards and the Heat rolled after halftime to win 109-95 on Monday night – a double-blow for the Knicks, who lost yet another game and lost Carmelo Anthony in the fourth quarter with a recurrence of knee soreness.

Chalmers, Norris Cole and Shabazz Napier combined to give Miami 35 points, 17 assists and only five turnovers from the guard spot, coming up big with Dwyane Wade still sidelined by his strained hamstring. Luol Deng scored 12 and Chris Andersen added 10 for Miami, plus had a nifty behind-the-back pass to set up Bosh for a basket as Miami pulled away. Anthony scored 26 points for the Knicks, who became the first NBA team this season to be guaranteed of finishing with a sub-.500 record.

DENVER: The reigning MVP scored 40 points, Russell Westbrook had 26 and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat Denver 124-114 on Monday night to hand the Nuggets their sixth loss in a row.  Kevin Durant’s shots kept dropping, and it didn’t seem to matter whether he was off-balance, falling away or putting the ball up in traffic. The Nuggets tried to slow down Durant with double teams and by picking him up as soon as he got near the 3-point line, but it didn’t do much good. Durant matched a career best by connecting on seven 3-pointers and finished 13 of 19 from the floor. Mitch McGary added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder.
The Nuggets, who have lost 13 of 14, were led by Wilson Chandler’s 23 points. Kenneth Faried and Lawson each added 22 for Denver, which also lost its sixth straight at home – its longest home skid since dropping seven in a row at the Pepsi Center from Feb. 6 to March 2, 2003

Results:
Oklahoma City Thunder- 124 beat Denver Nuggets- 114, Los Angeles Clippers- 115 beat Dallas Mavericks- 98, Utah Jazz- 100 beat New Orleans Pelicans- 96, Atlanta Hawks- 117 beat Minnesota Timberwolves- 105, Milwaukee Bucks- 103 beat New York Knicks- 95, Washington Wizards- 96 beat Orlando Magic- 80, Golden State Warriors- 89, beat Philadelphia 76ers- 84, San Antonio Spurs- 95 beat Indiana Pacers- 93

         No Jobs on a Dead Planet:
Trade Unions Join the Transition to a Greener Economy
Worldwatch Institute’s State of the World 2014 explores the employment challenges and opportunities of a transition to a sustainable economy  
Washington, D.C.—     Can the need to protect the environment be reconciled with the desire to safeguard jobs? Labor markets will shift to fit the demands of a greener economy as resources shrink and the climate changes. But with 38 percent of workers worldwide employed in carbon-intensive sectors like fossil fuel extraction and industrial manufacturing, this transition will be challenging. In State of the World 2014, contributing authors Judith Gouverneur and Nina Netzer point to the central role of trade unions in building a “just transition” toward a greener economy (www.worldwatch.org).

Through the coming social and ecological transition, some jobs will be shifted or redefined to fit the new economy, such as moving from fossil fuels to renewables. Other jobs, however-such as those in the coal sector-will be lost or displaced to countries with laxer constraints on greenhouse gas emissions. A badly managed transition could have disastrous consequences on employment.

“In modern societies, work is at the center of the relationship between nature and society…. Achieving sustainable ways of living is therefore inextricably linked to the way we decide to organize work in the future,” write Gouverneur and Netzer. “Parts of the trade union movement, as well as some individual unions, have accepted the reality that they need to become active participants in the transition toward sustainability.”

To address the transition challenge, some trade unions have proposed a “just transition,” a concept coined in the 1990s that strengthens the view that environmental and social policies can reinforce each other. Using this approach, unions promote the employment potential of a green economy through innovation and technology as well as through resource efficiency.

Yet trade unions remain reluctant to step in as the main driver of the green transformation. And they often neglect the need to shift lifestyles and businesses away from the excessive use of goods, resources, and energy.

“This is understandable insofar as the trade union movement, with its traditional goals of advancing worker interests, is deeply anchored within an economic system that bases wealth generation on continuous growth of production and consumption,” write Gouverneur and Netzer.
But there are potential solutions. Lars Henriksson, a Swedish autoworker and political activist, suggests that unions aim not to preserve unsustainable industries in the name of employment, but to engage workers in developing sustainable conversion strategies. In 2009, for example, union representatives united with environmentalists, researchers, and citizen’s groups to develop a sustainable transport plan in Europe after facing railroad privatization. Unions can also help to secure equitable redistribution of work by requiring continuing education and training, adapting existing social protection systems, and regulating staffing and wage agreements.

Trade unions have a central role in ensuring that the transition moves beyond a “jobs versus environment” debate and enables a shift to workers being drivers of change, rather than victims.

Worldwatch’s State of the World 2014 investigates the broad concept of “governance” for sustainability, including action by national governments, international organizations, and local communities.

Facts for Life, a handbook of essential information families and communities need to know to raise healthy children, is now available for free through the Internet.org app in English and other six local languages –Hindi, Telugu, Assamese, Bengali, Marathi and Tamil.

“Each year, almost 9 million children die from preventable and treatable illnesses before reaching their fifth birthday, about 456,000 in India. Many die during their first year of life. Countless more children live in precarious situations and face diminished futures. Facts for Life can help change behaviours and practices to save and protect the lives of children and help them grow and develop to their full potential,” stated Caroline den Dulk, Chief Advocacy and Communication, UNICEF India.

Facts for Life provides practical information, including advice on pregnancy, childbirth, childhood illnesses, child development, parenting protection, care and support for children, that all people have a right to know and put into practice. It is a resource for creating and strengthening protective environments in the home, school and community and can help families to make informed decisions.

The content provided applies to everyone in the country. Health workers can use it to help families learn healthier habits. Teachers can use it to help children life skills. Even journalists can use it to write articles about local issues on children’s rights.

“We are very proud to be a key content provider for Internet.org, which makes the internet accessible for free to those who are not yet connected, as we believe that access to information is fundamental to innovation for equity. Giving connectivity to the world’s most marginalized populations is at the centre of UNICEF’s innovation agenda because without access to information children and young people are stifled and put at risk,” highlighted Ms. den Dulk.

Customers can access the Internet.org app through the Google Play Store or by visiting www.internet.org from a mobile browser on their smartphone or feature phone.

“Marginal in the Market of Theatre”

11 02 2015
A three-day seminar “Marginal in the Market of Theatre” held
at 17th Bharat Rang Mahotsav

New Delhi, February 10, 2015: 17th Bharat Rang Mahotsav’s first phase of Allied events ended on 10th February 2015  with a three day seminar on “Marginal in the Market of Theatre” that was held on the question of misrepresentation of marginal voices in fields e.g., theatre, cinema, literature and visual art among others. Speakers for the three day seminar included Sanjay Pawar, Arjun Dev Charan, Trina Nileena Banerjee, Civic Chandran, Rahul Roy, Amar Kanwar, Dr Hanne M.de Bruin-Rajagopal, Tripurari Sharma, Padma VenkataramanMangai, AnjumKatyal, Ajay Mandvi, while Prof.WamanKendre, LaxmanGaikwad, Bishnupriya Paul, UshaGanguli, Feisal Alkazi& R Sreedhar chaired the sessions respectively. All the three days of seminar were divided into two sessions each with first session starting from 11.30am to 1.00pm and the second session from 2.00pm to 3.30pm.

The first day of the seminar started with a positive note from the Prof. Waman Kendre, Director, National School of Drama,  “This seminar is about those dimensions which we have always denied as a part of our Indian Theatre. Most of the work to promote Theatre as a folk tradition has been done by these Nomadic communities, marginalised, but their contribution was never considered. Lakhs of such communities are there whose existence and voices were never heard and were never given a platform to stand out. We have invited such visionaries who have been working for such communities so that we can learn what we can do to give a platform to these silent voices.”

The session was taken forward by the speakers Sanjay Pawar and Arjun Dev Charan. They shared their testimonies and experiences with theatre that they want to bring in light through the session and talked about how in our country traditional artists have been very unfortunate due to the caste in which they were born in. Markets or the Bazaars’ target is only restricted to bring middle class to high class but the ones who are following these folk forms are not even considered as humans.

Sanjay Pawar who is a playwright and cultural-social activist said, “Everything nowadays is a caste based profession, folk artists who were deprived of education and rights had to learn some skills to earn livelihood.” While Arjun Dev Charan, who is a professor at Rajasthan University mentioned many folk form such as: Ravanonki Rammat, Pabujiki Phad, Kanwad all from Rajasthan and many such art forms that earlier existed in distinct parts of our country but are now slowly vanishing.

The topic for the second day of the seminar were ‘Invisible through the lens’ & ‘Caste question’ for which documentary filmmakers such as Rahul Roy and Amar Kanwar were invited. The whole session revolved around the margins in documentary film making. Several aspects relating to the role of marginal in filmmaking were stretched out. Both the speakers being documentary film makers spoke about what margins do exist in documentary film making. In the second session of the day Prof.Tripurari Sharma, NSD, talks about the journey of the Baiden women who are considered to be a part of the lower caste of the society.  These women are performers by birth and caste and not by choice.  Inequality sets the stage for the dealing. These terms are not set by the women themselves but the hierarchy that defies their status.She talks about how these women used to go and perform between these men who belong to the upper caste in a circle of intimacy. Now when these women have stepped on the nautanki stage, it provided them with security and respect. The dance became free and the women distanced themselves from the audience to dance with abandonment and joy and now the attention has seemed to shift from the dancer to the dance.

The seminar came to an end with the last session on ‘Defying and defining minority’ & ‘Peasant uprising then and now’. The session consisted of personal experiences of all the speakers. They came and talked about the projects that they have been associated with. The highlights of the session were issues that revolve around LGBT communities that have been neglected as a bigger subject in theatre. Why there are so less productions (in theatre) done on these subjects. The other topic of concern was about those naxalite groups from whom our society have feared for decades.

Usha Ganguly, who is a respectable actor, writer, director and social activist said, “Theatre in big cities, small cities and towns have been unsuccessful in showcasing the seriousness in the minds of these commoners-turned-naxalites.”
