Mandya, May 12

Several organisations led by KPCC member and advocate T.S. Satyanand yesterday felicitated Rekha, the 18-year-old physically challenged girl from Kalenahalli village in the taluk, who won Rs. 12.5 lakh at the Kannadada Kotyadipathi quiz programme being hosted by Power Star Punith Rajkumar on Suvarna TV Channel.

Rekha, said to be affected by a rare genetic disorder called MPS Type 4 has a stunted physical growth but has a phenomenal mental growth with a high intelligence quotient. Her witty communication skill coupled with a very good general knowledge, especially physics, mesmerised the audience and the anchor alike.

Speaking after felicitating the winner, Satyanand said “Rekha is coming up challenging the medical fraternity with her incurable disorder. The people of the district should provide moral strength and courage to the physically challenged girl.” He also said that he would approach Union Minister S.M. Krishna, who too hails from the district, to get assistance for the medical and educational expenses of Rekha, who is studying in II PUC.

Incidentally, Rekha’s elder brother, who had accompanied her to the quiz show along with their mother too, is affected by the same genetic disorder. Beating the odds and studying engineering, the boy too is said to be extremely brilliant and an expert in mimicry.

His delivery of dialogues of actor Upendra from the movie Raktha Kanneeru kept the audience and Punith spellbound.

Tracking 400-yr-old family roots in Indian milieu

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Historical Links, Pre-Independence, Inspiration/ Positive News and Features

While tracing one’s genealogical roots is all a rage in the West, it is yet to find traction in India, where tracingone’s ancestral roots is all but impossible. But that did not deter Claudius Pereira, who with help of his six siblings wrote a sprawling saga, Echoes in footprints, that dates all the way back to the 17th century. The book, set to be officially released on May 1, will also be released in the US and London.

The book, which mainly focuses on how Pereira’s father raised seven children as a single parent, starts in 1673, when Pereira’s ancestors were among those who came and settled down in India from France.

“My great great grandfather James Bernard Pereira wanted one of his sons to become a priest in Madras. But my great grandfather was sent back home by Father Superior who saw him play football and figured he should pursue that instead. But James was furious at his son and in his rage chopped his leg off,” said Claudius, who started working on the book in 2006, when he was visiting his siblings, as a way to keep the memory of his father alive.

His great grandfather never became a priest. He instead got married and had four children, one of whom became a priest. In order to trace his family’s at times tragic past, Claudius even went to London, to access the birth and death certificates of his great grandparents. “The British had kept impeccable records, so I found even the marriage certificate signed by my great grandfather,” he beamed. But it was through his grandparents that he got a wealth of information.

“My grandfather’s brother was a priest himself and he set up my grandfather and his wife. He was at that time a railway ticket collector and my father, Clarence Joseph, was one of six children,” added Claudius.

However the book centres on his father, and how his family over several generations merged spirituality with their circumstances. “I was three years old when my mother passed away. My father had to raise seven children by himself. My oldest sister, then 13, had to take up cooking and taking care of us. He had to pawn my grandmother’s jewellery to keep our family going,” he said.
Claudius’ father worked as a telephone operator in a gold mine.

“Due to conditions in the goldmines, he lost his hearing and developed severe asthma and my brother when he got older, joined a gold mine company as well, but by that time the gold mining business started declining,” he adds. The book also chronicles Clarence Joseph’s brief struggle with cancer in the early 90s.

“At that time they didn’t know much about it. Even right now we don’t really know what it was. But his struggle was brief and his death is chronicled in this book by my siblings,” he said. With religious overtones, the booklooks at its historic context and focuses more on familial struggles.

“This is our book about how we came up in life. How we weathered the struggles. Everyone will find some form of inspiration from this book,” he adds. However tracing one’s history in India is close to impossible, says Claudius. “Only few familieshad records. People here can only get pockets of their life history. But my research led me to people who were my cousins, but I didn’t even know existed!” he exclaims.

Sparsha Trust works for the uplift of abandoned street children, beggars & drug addicts

Inspiration/ Positive News and Features, Uncategorized

Sanju Rao, Excalibur Foundation, Bengaluru

On a Sunday last February, in a cloister close to Ramaiah Hospital, Bengaluru, over a hundred children in green uniforms participated in Sparsha Trust’s Annual Day Function: dancing, rangoli sketching, performing acrobatics, competing in relays.

These children were the poorest of the poor: the abandoned, the orphaned, the ones wandering the streets in search of a meal or menial work or secluded pavement spaces to sleep on runaways, drug addicts or beggars.

Sparsha was founded by a handful of young graduates with master’s degrees in social work. They began in June 2006 by building a centre –  Shikshana Mitra- in the slums of the Yeshwanthpura Singh communities. The centre was imagined as a shelter where the  slum children would be safe, where they would be nurtured, tutored and transitioned into mainstream schools.

After three years, Sparsha’s first batch of seven children aced their exams and graduated from school. Today, five of them are attending top universities.

Other batches of children followed, tutored by Sparsha staff, brought up to speed with the syllabus in mainstream schools, and subsequently admitted to these school. The children attended school during the day and were tutored and mentored by Sparsha staff in the evenings.

Over time the local community came to appreciate Sparsha’s work. Sparsha encouraged them to get involved with Shikshana Mitra – to value superior aspirations for their children as they excelled in studies.

Over a few years, Sparsha was in a position to hand over the management of the centre to the community itself. Some children – products of Shikshana Mitra – also took ownership of the centre and of the responsibilities entailed with running it. They eventually made the centre their own – independent of Sparsha – and self-sufficient.

Sparsha’s staff spent days, weeks and even months entreating parents to send their children to Sparsha’s centres where children can be cared for and educated. Most parents prefer that their children work alongside them at construction sites or beg or look after their shanty homes.

After conducting awareness programmes spanning over six months among a community of pavement dwellers, Sparsha’s team convinced parents to send their children to Chinnara Thangudhamma in Shivaji Nagar – away from the streets and squalor – where children were provided de-addiction programmes, offered a clean home, fully furnished hostel with bathrooms, trunks for their belongings, smart uniforms, toys, school materials and three nutritious meals daily courtesy an immaculate kitchen and a versatile cook; essentially everything to lead a nurturing, healthy life.

They are taken to playgrounds; those requiring psychiatric treatment are admitted to Nimhans; all children receive health check-ups, medical treatment and dental care. They are also taught sex education, counselled to deal with psychological and emotional problems, motivated to equip themselves with literacy – the means to deliver them from destitution.

Like Chinnara Thangudamma, every Sparsha centre is designed to provide children their right to lead lives of dignity – away from degrading streets and hazardous construction sites where they toil under the scalding sun.

The safety, comfort and education from Sparsha inspire in them the confidence and ambition to pursue careers that empower them to climb out of poverty.

Sparsha has built a sophisticated, resourceful children’s library and a ‘Multi-Dimensional Learning Center’ for computer training. The founding members of this young  NGO, that now has over 180 children directly under its aegis,have set themselves a new target – Mission 2015 – a shelter home to house and care for up to 1,000 children.

Business school churns out women leaders

Business & Economy, Inspiration/ Positive News and Features, Uncategorized

New Delhi:

An Indian Business School has begun a novel course; one that will seek to churn out better and more women political leaders into the nation’s political arena.

The Center for Public Policy (CPP) at the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore (IIM-B), along with the Center for Social Research (CSR) based in New Delhi, is now offering the nation’s first course in political leadership exclusively for women called the “India-Women in Leadership (IWIL) program”.

In a country whose political sphere is dominated by males and uneducated legislators, the move is seen as a huge step in the forward direction.

“IIM-B and CSR have launched this course jointly to build creative, knowledgeable and innovative women leadership. Investing in women through formal training will help in creating a pipeline of confident and successful women leaders,” Dr Ranjana Kumari the Director of CSR said.

The three month long course will include field visits to other countries such as Singapore, as well as visits to the nation’s political capital New Delhi, besides lectures. The first batch is scheduled to begin on July 16, this year.

India has a poor record when it comes to gender gap in politics. The World Economic Forum ranked India 24 out of 135 countries in its Gender Gap Index for women’s political participation.

“Not only are there too few women in Indian politics, but women also face different barriers in their quest to become leading politicians in India. Therefore, women in politics need specialized skills and strategies in order to win elections and pursue the policies that matter most to them”, said Dr Kumari.

The Indian government has been trying to pass the Women’s representation bill, which will guarantee 33% reservation to women legislators to make it to the state and central houses of people’s representatives.

The bill has however been caught up over differences between political parties.

Others seen are State Board Chairperson Vinoda Nataraj and Karnataka State Women’s Development Corporation Chairperson Sarojini Bhardwaj.

Mysore, Mar. 28

“Members of the Indian society need to shed the ancient notion that only male issues can support us in our old age and that one attains ‘sadgati’ after death only if one is the a parent of a male child,” said Prema Cariappa, Chairperson, Central Social Welfare Advisory Board, New Delhi.

Speaking after inaugurating International Women’s Day celebration held under the aegis of Karnataka State Social Welfare Board at Rajendra Bhavan in city on Monday, she said that women are playing a pivotal role in the development of the nation and the country; but in spite of this, they are being discriminated.

She further said that even today, the birth of a female child is considered shameful. Even though girls excel in education they are being discriminated in the fields of higher education, professional courses and employment.

“The need of the hour is to educate girls. She said that the social evils like dowry etc. have ruined the society. Women are being burnt alive if dowry is not given. Police and judiciary seem to be helpless in stopping these crimes. Govt. is taking appropriate steps for the development of women but it is the duty of the voluntary organizations to come forward to work in the field of social work,” she said and opined that local elected representatives need to work towards eradicating this discrimination.

Board’s chairperson Vinoda Nataraj, State Women’s Development Corporation Chairperson Sarojini Bhardwaj and Women and Child Welfare Department Deputy Director N.R. Vijay were the chief guests.

The success story of an Achiever: A Soldier then, Now a KAS Officer

Inspiration/ Positive News and Features

Mysore:

When Anand came to our institution, I sent him to Mangalore for SSLC. He since became a Soldier, but I never imagined that he would achieve so much. At every stage, he used to take my suggestion regarding the subject and preparation and implemented my suggestions in total. I am proud of his achievements.

— M.N.Subramani, President, VCARE Ex-Servicemen Trust.

By Kiran Kumar

This is the story of an achiever who pursued his quest for knowledge in the toughest of conditions while serving as a soldier in the border area to achieve a distinguished career, emerging as a KAS officer from an ordinary Soldier. Thus, he set a classic example of how dedicated efforts contribute to achieving what a person desires.

This is the story of C.L. Anand (born on July 5, 1974), a native of Netkal village in Malavalli taluk of Mandya district, who continued his relentless quest for knowledge after joining the Indian Army as a Soldier after completing his SSLC examinations in the year 1994.

Having started his career in the Army as an assistant in an ambulance at Kargil, he worked for 15 years in various places like Meerut, Lucknow, Delhi and Tinsukia of Assam among other places.

All through his service, Anand continued to pursue his studies, braving all the challenges faced as a Soldier.

After completing PUC at Headquarters Education Centre in New Delhi, he secured a degree from Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj University, before acquiring a B.Ed degree from Army Education Centre in Madhya Pradesh. His urge for achievement forced him to undergo computer training at RAC Computers Pvt Ltd in Uttar Pradesh and take up a Post Graduate Diploma course in Hospital Management from Indian Institute of Modern Management, Pune.

After a 15 year stint in the Army as a Soldier from 1994 to 2008, Anand turned his eyes towards taking up competitive exams.

The first job he got after bidding adieu to Army was that of a Manager at Dr. P.R. Desai Hospital in Bangalore. From there he became a First Division Assistant (FDA) at Agricultural Produces Marketing Corporation (APMC). After completing another examination, Anand became a Panchayat Development Officer (PDO). But he continued his studies. He took up a Police entrance examination and became Sub-Inspector of Police at BEML Nagar in Kolar.

Even while serving in the Police Department, Anand appeared for Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) examination for the 2010 batch in which he secured 29th rank and was selected as an Assistant Commissioner, for which he is undergoing training at the Administrative Training Institute in city.

His subsequent posting should serve as a classic example for the reward one can get for hard, sincere and dedicated work. His faith in himself and strong will-power that “I must achieve” has indeed paid off rich dividends, thus, making him “a real hero in letter and spirit.”

Model officer

Speaking to Star of Mysore recently, Anand said that only proper application of the acquired knowledge helps a man to succeed in life. The farmers of Karkala still remember his services as FDA at APMC. His services as PDO at Jottanahalli in Mandya district will serve as a model for PDOs who work under immense pressure.

Anand recalls how he had taken elected representatives into confidence and through them, had got 90 houses allotted to the physically challenged, widows and destitute, after a prolonged meeting. If not the elected representatives would have allotted these houses at their will.

He believes that all Gram Sabha meetings should be held transparently to ensure proper identification of deserving beneficiaries. He maintains that if PDOs apply their knowledge properly, there would be no need for them to commit suicide or quit jobs.

Anand can be contacted on Mob: 9141923428.

Visually challenged but mind of a Computer !

Inspiration/ Positive News and Features

Mysore, Mar. 22

“Distress and dejection in life are man-made and not god-sent, which can be countered by sheer determination and hard work,” opined Siddu S. Lavate, a visually handicapped youth.


He was addressing press persons at Pathrakarthara Bhavan here this morning after releasing an audio and video CD on personality development, techniques to counter depression and confidence-building tips.

The 27-year-old Lavate, hailing from Kakkamali village of Athani taluk in Belgaum district, is now a student of pre-final LLB course at M.S. Ramaiah Law College in Bangalore and is also preparing for IAS examination.

Revealing the trials and tribulations in his life, Lavate said: “I was visually challenged by birth and was neglected by my parents. I studied upto 10th standard in a Kannada school thanks to the courtesy of some relatives and well-wishers. When I came to Bangalore to continue my education, I was cornered due to my lack of English knowledge. I took it as a challenge and learnt English in 15 days. I am a living testimony of raising from rubbles not excluding the onslaught of depression, a sure pointer to youngsters of similar situation today.”

Lavate is learnt to be a living computer, adept in astrology and numerology. He is said to remember about 46,000 cell-phone numbers and multiply or divide numbers extending to 8 digits or more.

The reporters present at the press meet were stunned when they asked Lavate to multiply a 5-digit number by another and got the answer in a jiffy. Lavate is available on his Mobile 99800-68440.

Noble souls who care for the sick and dying

Inspiration/ Positive News and Features

By Kiran Kumar

Mysore:

What might be the plight of the aged, sick and bedridden people who are left to die by their own family members? Bed-sores, stench, unbearable pain and on the top of it, the feeling of hurt for being discarded by their kin, waiting for death in the even-ing of their lives. Many of them are like breathing corpses, ailing from cancer, HIV +ve and other such incurable ailments.

Who is going to take care of them? Well, there is a group of people who have dedicated themselves for this purpose — they are the volunteers of Swami Vivekananda Aaraike Kendra, a unit of the city-based Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement. The Kendra, a shelter for such ailing, bedridden and uncared for beings, was set up in October 2011 and is silently serving mankind with their mantra, “Fear not, for we are with you.”

The volunteers identify bedridden patients ailing from cancer, paralysis etc. and treat them at their homes. The Kendra assimilates information from the villages of the district and from the hospitals about such ailing persons needing care and attention and then do the necessary nursing. This also makes the family members of the ailing persons change their attitude and become compassionate.

The Kendra has a total of 14 staff members including two doctors, one staff nurse and two counsellors. They tour around the seven taluks of the district and extend their services. On Thursdays, counselling is done for select patients at the Centre on K.R. Hospital road in Mandi Mohalla.

At present, the Kendra’s team is taking care of 129 patients in 40 villages. About 1,000 persons suffering from lifestyle diseases, out of the 4,000 surveyed, also are being treated by the Kendra.

The Kendra does not get any foreign funds or aids from the government. They have to mobilise their own resources for which they raise donations from educational institutions and industries, collecting One Rupee from each donor to pay the salaries of 14 staff members and a staff nurse. Others, including the doctors, are volunteers offering free service.

The Kendra provides service to 4,500 AIDS patients, of which 1,500 are children, comprising 206 HIV +ve. Many have lost their parents. Such orphans are given government grants of Rs. 750 per month while children of single parent get Rs. 650 grant each.

You too can help

For this noble cause, you too can contribute your mite either by donating materials like bed-spreads, blankets, wheel chairs, crutches, drugs, walking sticks that are lying idle in your house or by donating cash. Major cash donations will be given tax rebate under the 80G rule. Interested may contact M.N. Hemath [99459-55879] or Manoj Sebastian [99725-28007]

An Entrepreneur with a Difference

“I Can,” says Pandu Ranga Rao

By S. Kenneth Shishir


 

The problems faced by the disabled is gaining more and more importance all over the world. The government of India and also State governments have lent a helping hand to the differently abled by framing various policies like reservation in jobs, concession in traveling, special training institutions etc.

However, a major role is played by the family members who need to fill the affected person with strength to face the world. Here is the story of one such person who has gone beyond his disability and is telling the world “I Can.”

Meet Pandu Ranga Rao, a young entrepreneur who wants to take the world of web and software to new horizons.

Born to Sunanda and Nara-yan Rao couple on Aug. 24, 1975, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a disorder of movements, at birth. His brave parents did not lose heart and got him admitted to a normal school.

Speaking to Star of Mysore, Pandu Ranga Rao said that tho-ugh he completed SSLC with flying colours, it was difficult for him to enter PUC. His mother got him admitted to CPC Polytechnic and he later obtained B.Sc. in Information Technology from KSOU.

After completing his Diploma in Computer Science from CPC Polytechnic, he joined as a Lab Instructor in JSS Polytechnic for Differently Abled in SJCE campus here. While working there, he developed two softwares for JSS Polytechnic and gained vast experience at Excel Soft Technologies.

He says that he is grateful to D. Sudhanva, Managing Director of the company, for his encouragement to develop softwares on his own and added that he never went to any special classes but learnt through the opportunities given at Excel Soft.

Pandu Ranga Rao says that he was humiliated a few times during his education and was frustrated with the experiences in life all because of him being specially abled. He says that he wanted to show the world that people like him can achieve anything and teachers should have an open mind and heart to help students like him.

While working as a Lab Instructor, he came across Yathish, who is also disabled. He involved Ya-thish in his activities of flash developing and founded the company I Can Technologies (www. icantech.in) which offers services like website development, web hosting, software development and product development.

Inspired by the TV show Kaun Banega Crorepathi, he develo-ped a small programme called Quiz Master for a CD brought out by PC-Quest. He has also developed alerts which act as reminders of scheduled works on the computer desktop.

Pandu Ranga Rao says that he aims to provide jobs to people like him, not because they are disabled, but for their talents. He wants to help them enter into mainstream as they need more opportunities than sympathy.

He says that nothing is impossible and computers bore him to some extent. Smiling, he says he loves travelling.

Pandu Ranga Rao got married to Jyothi of Shimoga in 2011 and she has been supporting him in all his activities.

His mother Sunanda says that she faced a lot of problem in the beginning and it was a young doctor from All India Institute Of Physical Medicine And Rehabilitation, Mumbai, who advised her to admit Pandu Ranga Rao to a normal school. On his advice, she admitted him to a convent at Udupi. The teachers there said that she has to be with her son in the school for a few days as they needed time to study his behaviour.

Sunanda says she enjoyed being with him in the school during his studies. In 1985-86, they shifted to Mysore to provide him speech therapy at AIISH.

Pandu Ranga Rao is presently working from home as he cannot move about on his own.

He was honoured by AIISH on World Disability Day in 2006 and won the ‘Achiever Award’ by GSB Bankers Educational and Welfare Trust in 2008 apart from being felicitated during Teachers’ Day celebrations. He says that he is looking for a place to start an enterprise so that he can provide employment to persons like him.

I Can Technologies is presently running its own online tutorial (www.programming basics.in) in programming for children who want to be programmers. Product development is the key area of their focus and they will be developing and releasing a product which will target educational institutions. Through this, one can bring the entire student community and all their activities like payment of fees, borrowing of library books, etc. under one roof.

Pandu Ranga Rao can be contacted on 9341856071 or e-mail: info@icantech.in.
