"Today is Malala day," On Thursday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon announced that November 10, 2012 will be observed as Malala Day worldwide. Human rights activists and other supporters of Malala Yousufazi worldwide are championing her cause Saturday, declaring it an international day of action for girls' right to education, after the 15-year-old was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman last month. Some 32 million girls around the world are simply not attending school.

The new Indian census(2011), which put the population at 1.2 billion, has revealed an alarming trend. Rising incomes only seem to accelerate gendercide – the evocative term for the selective abortion of girl foetuses. There were 945 girls per 1,000 boys in the 1991 census, 927 in 2001 and now 914. It's now a crisis and we need to move beyond just acknowledging the issue.The PC&PNDT Act 1994 prohibits any form of sex-determination practise and sex-selective abortion. It's important you know how to use this. Read more > www.actionaid.org/india/pndt/

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?”

― Mahatma Gandhi

Eminent educationist and activist Anil Bordia.passes away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~
One of the greatest activist of India, Anil Bordia, passed away late on Sunday night following a heart attack.He was 78. My respect and condolence goes out to a true iconic figure of social sector and his family. He was a legend and had changed the lives of many people, especially women and youths, through his role and inspiration.

I am privileged to have associated with him from Lok Jumbish UNESCO project ..
Our last meeting was at Doosra Dashak Jaipur office on 25th June 2012, regarding a photo-documentation which was most urgently required.

Let his soul rest in PEACE.
