With the Pandora box of scams bursting open into the market, the
corporate hue and cry has now shifted from profits to the socially
beneficial sustainable profits. The essence of social responsibility has
not only become the theme but has started being into the core of the
organizational processes. Of course, this shift to us means more
resources at disposal by the corporate, as far as the image building
continues. Also with the seemingly huge probability of US being
forcing us in future to go green and socially responsive global
organizations, the imperative and the gravity of the situation cant be
undermined. So, although the means may vary, ends will be the same-
a mutual benefit for all.
Thus, here we are with our newsletter with a grass root level initiative. From events to endeavors to
making a difference into peoples lives, this is our small effort to bring forth opinions and the nonce
right in front of you in a very concise form. Also we have our junior editorial team joining us from this
edition onwards.
Hoping you like the effort and appreciate this dew drop in the ocean of thoughts...We would love to
hear from you on anything and everything.

Margaret J. Wheatley rightly said that Circles create soothing space, where
even reticent people can realize that their voice is welcome. I take this
opportunity to welcome the new members of Rotaract Club of IMNU.
I am pleased that we have been performing various activities related to
social cause and individual development. Every day we need to achieve
greater heights by working hard to achieve the goal.
I expect that the new joiners would excel in the atmosphere wherein we could increase our reach and
working towards various social causes. I am extremely pleased with the way things have progressed in
recent past.
Rotaract Club of IMNU has also been founded on three things- mutual respect, recognition of
responsibility to help each other on the basis of each others equal worth and working together to make
this society, a better place for everyone.
The responsibility is collective as well as individual. With this I would like to congratulate you and wishyou all best of luck for a beautiful journey with the club.
It is my pleasure to welcome you all in the Rotaract family.

In 2009, Eveready Industries Ltd. came up with a business model innovation,
wherein they found a powerful way of catering to the Bottom of Pyramid
customer of an emerging country like India and it offered tremendous growth
opportunities as a company. The new offering in the form of a LED Lamp
would replace kerosene lanterns in many parts of power-starved states like UP,
Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, etc. On the other end this lamps would need batteries to
operate on, which would create a further traction for Evereadys existing battery business.
At the heart of LED lanterns business is Evereadys philosophy, You can live in darkness, but once
you are used to light, you will never go back to darkness.
As of now, there are around 1.5 billion people in the world without access to electricity grid, out of
which the share of India would come to around 400 million people. This translates to approximately
100 million families. Majority of them live in the 80000 or so non grid connected villages in India.
They all depend mainly on kerosene lanterns as the source of light. That makes kerosene a very
sensitive commodity in India. Kerosene is sold as a subsidized fuel in Government run ration shops for
the poor people. Currently it is sold for around INR 12.50 per litre, but government gives around
INR19.60 as subsidy on top of that to meet the actual open market price of around INR 32.00 Poor
families are eligible to get around 6 litres per month at this subsidized rate.
As a comparison, even an average incandescent lamp which many countries want to ban is more than
50 times better than these kerosene lamps. To put it better, kerosene lamps are the costliest and
dirtiest way to generate the same light output. Apart from wastage of fuel, other problems like smoke,
safety, burning hazard, pollution etc. are associated with kerosene lamps.

The dusty and potholed road leading up to village Rakha located 25 kms from Jamshedpur in
Jharkhand does not have proper power supply. Power cuts to the tune of 12 hours per day are quite
frequent. So, every evening at Rakha, Surda and other adjoining villages, Sisir Mahatos eight member
family life revolved around kerosene lamps. But that was the situation till 2nd
quarter of 2009, when he
bought Evereadys LED lantern that runs on batteries. In the evening the familys six children are
huddled with their books around the lantern that Eveready Industries branded as Home LITE. Each
one of them is clinging to the lanterns milky white light as opposed to the kerosene lamps dull yellow
rays, smoke and soot. Sisirs son Brigen complains that he is not sure how long his father will be able
to afford the batteries from the average Rs 60- 75 he earns daily from the village market .After the LED
lantern was bought the lantern ran as long as the free batteries that came with it lasted. Mahatos familyis precisely the customer Eveready Industries had in mind when it introduced the LED lanterns as a
substitute to kerosene lanterns in April 2009.Whether these lanterns will change the lives of the power-
starved is still to be seen, but they are making a difference to the image of Eveready Industries. The
trendiness of the product has captured customer imagination.
During afternoon rush on a typical Sunday in June 2010; I made a visit to the crowded Jugsulai
market, quite near to the Jamshedpur railway station which is the hub of trading and other business
activity in and around Jamshedpur. This market caters to adjoining districts and customers from both
East and West Singhbhum and many retailers even from Chaibasa and Ranchi come here for business.
One of the biggest distributors of kerosene lanterns in this market remarked, I sell about 100
kerosene lanterns per day at Rs 150 each, but these sales are half of what they are before the arrival of
LED lanterns. Similar reactions have been reported from various parts of UP and Bihar. Thus, tosome extent Eveready Industries have been able to fill a void in the society in an emerging country like
India.

The Rotaract Club of Nirma University visited the Gandhi Ashram on 30th
September 2012 as a part of the induction program for the juniors. We started
at around 2.15 pm from the college after all the students had their lunch. There
were 13 students from the junior batch and 8 students from the senior batch.
We reached the Gandhi Ashram at around 2.45 pm. After reaching there, the
juniors visited the main office and saw the different activities carried out by the kids there. These
activities included drawing, coloring, painting, arts and crafts, making greeting cards, etc. Other
activities that were going on at that time were computer classes for the people of villages.
After having a look at all of this, at 3.15
p.m., the activity co-coordinator of Gandhi
Ashram, Mr. Rahul came and met thejunior batch. He gave a brief introduction
about the Gandhi Ashram since its
inception. Also, he described in detail the
activities carried out by the Rotary Club as a
whole for the upliftment of the society and
how they help the women earn their own
living. He further gave an insight into what
they do for the children of the villages and
bastes of the nearby areas who cannot afford
to study or even have a single meal of a day.
They provide one glass of milk daily to each
child of the nearby villages.

He also explained to the Junior Rotaract
members the mentorship program followed by
the Rotaract Club of IMNU in Manav Sadhna,
an NGO of the Rotary Club. In this program,
each student acts as a mentor and he/she is
assigned a mentee who is a child from the
village studying in 8th, 9
th, or 10
thstandard. The
Rotaract member has to guide his/ her mentee
in any field required. This may include studies,
personal life problems, parents or friends.
After this interaction, which took place for
around 40-45 minutes, the students visited
the whole Ashram. They saw Gandhijis
house, his personal belongings, and other
merchandise related to the Gandhi Ashram
including key chains, books, frames, etc.
After the visit was over at 4.30 pm, the
students enjoyed Nariyal Pani in the
scorching heat and had a lot of fun.

Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right
direction.

With the same aim, Teach For India started its mentorship program in 2009 with 87 fellows. It is a
nationwide movement that aims to eliminate inequality of education in India by placing outstanding
college graduates and young professionals in low-income schools to teach full-time for 2 years.
TFI has progressed remarkably to achieve its goals and towards its vision. Fellows are selected all over
India from some renowned institutes like IITs, IIMs, BITS Pilani, ISB, St. Stephen's, St. Xavier's and
Princeton University and dynamic professionals from corporates such as McKinsey, Goldman Sachs,
HDFC, Accenture, Thermax, ICICI and Godrej Industries. Impacts are graceful as children have
shown a growth of 1.2 school years in just 1 year in their writing skills, and have doubled in their
reading fluency. Beside classroom activities children are exposed to rigorous training modules, which
ensure their development as excellent teachers, communicators, responsible leaders and significant
change-makers.

Women are considered as the pillars of the society, yet even today in most parts of
the country they are given the level of the most backward section. The question
arises is why? Is it just because they give birth to another generation or because they
know only the language of love and care? Gone are those days, when only men were
known as the earning section of the society. Today the world has changed, but what hasnt changed is
the thinking of people for girls.
When a woman is about to give birth, everyone gives blessing for a baby boy, but why? Is getting a boy
the only need for todays families? Girls have been compared to Goddess Laxmi in Hindu mythology,
then what about the happiness that a girl brings with her birth, is it nothing?

The act of aborting or terminating a fetuswhile its still in the womb, because it is female, is known as
female foeticide. This can be done after determining the sex of the child before its born, through
ultrasound scans.
Although, sex determination in India is illegal, the practice is rampant and has become a multi-million
dollar industry. Coupled with prospective parents desperate for a boy child, and physicians who are
carrying out these abortions, female foeticide has become a shameful and shocking reality of our
nation.
For centuries, families across many parts of India have regarded a male child as the preferred of the
two sexes. There have been many social, financial, emotional and religious reasons for this preference
and while times have changed, many of these reasons and beliefs continue to remain.
Today, some of the key reasons that exist for the preference of a male child are as follows:
The tradition of paying dowry at the time of a daughters marriage is alive and kicking. Thisamount can be so huge that many parents will go to extreme lengths to avoid having a daughter
in the first place.
A son is seen as someone who can earn and care for his parents in their later years, while adaughter will get married and go away.
A son can carry on the family name, while a daughter becomes part of her husbands family. Girls are seen as consumers, whereas boys are seen as producers. Many families consider it a status symbol to have a son, and a point of shame to have a
daughter.
Often, the pressure to bear a male child on the woman is so great that she herself might chooseto get sex determination done and abort the baby if its a girl.
It is still a belief that a only boy can take care of his parents in old age. Illiteracy, poverty and the tag of burden that is assigned to a girl child, makes the desire for a
male child even stronger.

While sex determination has been banned by the Indian government, it does not stop families from
going to great lengths to carry it out anyway. Not only are there plenty of scanning centers that reveal
this information, many of the wealthier families fly the pregnant mother to neighboring countries,
where sex determination is legal, to find out the gender of the baby.
Once the gender of the baby is known, families that are keen to have a baby boy choose to abort the
female fetus. The law on aborting is also strict, and the Indian government allows it only under certain
circumstances
Sex ratio refers to ratio of females to males in a given region. Practices like female foeticide and female
infanticide (killing a baby girl after she is born) have had an adverse effect on the sex ratio of a nation
and gives rise to further social evils.
As per the Indian Census 2011 report, the sex ratio of India (females per 1000 males) is as follows:
Average India sex ratio 933
Rural sex ratio 946
Urban sex ratio 900
State with highest female sex ratio Kerala 1058
State with lowest female sex ratio Haryana 861
Today Girls are doing miracle in each and every sector of society, be it reaching the outer space or
fighting for the country. What needs to change is our mindset for girls then only something good can
happen for the society. Already many works have started to make people aware about it and the biggest
initiative was taken in Satyamev Jayate by Aamir Khan. Even a great result is seen in Lakhanpal, a
small village in Punjab which has turned the tide, with 1,400 girls for every 1000 boys. It is not only one
state or city but the need of the hour is to perform these miracles in whole India. So lets join o ur
hands to fight against the mindset of people because together we can and we will bring a difference

Once a poor boy, with high ambitions deeply engraved in his heart approached
a tutor in his neighborhood. The weak financial conditions hadnt impacted the
boys strongly held goal, but yes, it did impact the mindset of the tutor. The
tutor, motivated from within, started a program for the economically backward
students to train them to get into the premier institutes of technology in India.Yes, its the story of Anand Kumar, the famous mathematician of Patna, Bihar.
Every year, he takes an entrance test, whereby he selects 30 intelligent students,
tutors them, provides study materials and lodging for a year. He prepares them for the Joint Entrance
Examination for the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). His mother, cooks for the students, and his
brother takes care of the management.
Its not Anand Kumars command over the subject which has
made him popular worldwide, but its the small initiative of
addressing a pressing need of the society that has given him the
visibility. The story of Anand Kumar is one of the many stories
of people who have witnessed several issues in the society, but
unlike many others he had taken a step forward to address
them, they are the people like you and me, perhaps, not mother
Teresa. They are the social entrepreneurs, who had combined
the principles of business with an urge of doing something good,to create a better world. Social entrepreneurs focus on transforming systems and practices that are the
root causes of poverty, marginalization, environmental deterioration and accompanying loss of human
dignity. In doing so, they may set up for-profit or not-for-profit organizations, and in either case, their
primary objective is to create sustainable systems change.

A social entrepreneur is the one who has an unwavering belief in the innate capacity of all people to
contribute meaningfully to economic and social development, a driving passion to make that happen, a
practical but innovative stance to a social problem, dogged determination which allows them to break
away from constraints imposed by ideology which pushes them to take risks that others wouldn't dare,
a zeal to measure and monitor their impact and A healthy impatience.
Its a world where profit does not equal greed, where people come together for a greater common
cause -A world where I does not mean crushing them.
Times change, but with such a change, some issues remain almost inbuilt in the social systems. a slight
broad vision of seeking something beyond own happiness can, and will, alter the world of others.

I would like to share a story that I adapted from the Nobel Prize winning poet
Rabindranath Tagore, in which he warned us of the dangers of McEducation
for All almost 75 years ago.
In The Parrot's Training, we are told of a golden cage that is built to imprison the wild and uncivilized
parrot so that she can be properly educated by the king's pundits. In addition to the 3Rs, she should
also learn who the Boss is as well as be familiar with all the latest global brands.
First, the teachers tried stuffing the bird with pages of the official textbooks. That didn't work. Then a
UNICEF project came with all kinds of child-friendly and joyful techniques. They also taught the
parrot about child rights.
No improvement.
Then the World Bank gave a loan to the king (with austerity conditionalities of course) to build a
bigger cage with a nice toilet.
Still, no difference.
Then the OECD came with the PISA standardized tests and new a national policy white paper was
written. Harvard researchers were invited to conduct studies on the parrot's brain and multiple
intelligences.
Nothing worked.
http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar7/31/2019 Aarohan Vol 6

Then Apple gave it an iPad and a free high speed wi-fi connection. She even got her own facebook
page. But the parrot was not allowed to leave the cage despite her obvious distress. In fact she was
scolded for being ungrateful and impertinent. Anti-depressants drugs were prescribed.
As the parrot was overstuffed with information, she internalized her label as a 'slow learner' and a
'failure' and lost her power of self-designed learning. She became totally dependent on the cage. Her
dreams were reduced to being a rat in the rat-race. A deep loss of purpose ensued. Slowly her spirit
withered away. In the end, a lot of people made a lot of money on the parrot's education, everyone
benefited except the parrot.
The time has come to more deeply understand the nature of the cage and its impact on each of us and
our communities in both the South and the North beyond what the World Bank economists tell us.
It is important to crack open and re-examine our definitions of progress, success, happiness and to
look at how our imaginations for social action have been colonized by the cage.
We also need to question the assumption that, if we keep adding more and more stuff onto the cage,
we can actually fix or transform its fundamental nature.
