In an effort to aid stranded people in flood-hit Uttarakhand, Ishaan Sadhana Dham is joining hands in support of those affected in the disaster. The movement is calling out for all kinds of help (except money). The Trustees of the organization are themselves accompanying the trucks carrying the supplies for the first installment, which was dispatched on 23rd June’13. It includes more than 15,000 kgs supplies collected within a span of four days.

People can contribute by sharing Packed Food (biscuits, chips, water, ready-to-eat food, raw wheat/rice/pulses/salt), Medical Supplies, Clothes, Towels, Sheets, Quilts, Torches, Candles, Ropes, Umbrellas, Rain Coats, Bags, Boxes, Shoes, Slippers and Toiletries. The initiative appeals every citizen to help the flood victims as much as possible, as soon as possible, and in ANY possible way.

“Let’s not just Sympathize, Let’s ACT” would resurface whenever is a need and a situation wherein people only sympathize, rather than doing anything to change it. Because what brings change in actuality is proactive work, and not sympathy.

Ground Reality from Uttarakhand:
Uttarakhand has already received lakhs of tonnes of relief from all over the country, which is a commendable achievement. However, the bitter reality is that the supplies are not reaching the right people. The tourists have been targeted by rescue operations, rather than the actual locals who are affected the most. There are many specific community-based efforts. Hardly anyone is understanding the plight of the real victims of the floods- the locals. The tourists at least have a place they can call home, the locals have nowhere to go. We are neither for, nor against any political party. But we wish to draw attention to the natives of villages that have been devastated, some have been swept away by the floods entirely. We are collaborating with different small villages and helping them. Our Trustees were themselves involved in the distribution activities.
Everyone has put their best foot forward and we really thank each one for every bit of it. There has been a remarkable contribution by the army, which is under immense pressure. They have limited resources (number of people, choppers, etc) and restrictions in terms of mediums and channels.

It is a request to those in power, those who have the decision making authority, to send their forces as soon as possible and facilitate relief to one and all. A lot is being done, but there is still A LOT more left to do.

Final Stage of Phase 1:
Over 15000 kgs of Food supplies, Medicines, Clothes, Water etc. distributed in a span of 2 days
About 4000 kgs handed over to Raiwala Military Station to be sent via choppers to Joshimath
2000 kgs handed over to flood affected villages in Shiv puri – Biyasi stretch
9000 kgs sent up till Rudra-prayag (where it was possible to go via truck and in person thereafter); distributed in affected villages and tourists around Dev-prayag area.
Our team (Ishaan Sadhana Dham Rishikesh) along with some villagers from Srinagar camped in Srinagar, gathered utensils and prepared food for almost 100 stranded villagers and tourists in Srinagar; villagers who have been homeless for 9 days and in transit tourists who haven’t eaten in days.
On our way back, Maharishi Gurushree, Siddh Maa, Acharya Narottam and Saadhvi even fixed up a house with a tirpal and bamboo sticks (We just had one covering the truck)

After almost 50 hours of seeing struggle, helpful locals and police officers, food rotting in rains with no one to eat, community specific buses, hungry and thirsty kids, homeless people, helpless stranded tourists, spirit of Indian Army, landslide stricken roads, pouring rain, and the wrath unleashed by mother ganges we reached back to the base camp in Rishikesh.

There are starved children, homeless women, unsupported elderlies and unemployed youth in families of thousands in Uttarakhand. A week since the disaster, the spark might have died down, but the flame still burns the hearts of those who lost their homes to the floods and the landslides. The job hasn’t even started yet. We are in phase one of disaster management, evacuation; no one knows yet, no one is planning about phase two when the restoration sets in; that will be a major task. We ought to start thinking about it now and not when the D-Day arrives.

Let’s not just Sympathize, Let’s ACT!

A small effort on your part can make a BIG difference.

Ahead of all other colleges, the first cut-off for Ramjas College is already out. The cut-off lays resemblance to the previous trend of sky-high cut-offs. Seeing the insanely high cut-offs for B.Com, English and Economics, it can be expected that a second cut-off should come out.

Along with the cut-offs, the college has also released the room numbers where candidates seeking admission will be supposed to go tomorrow. Along with that, the college has also listed the admission-in-charge for particular departments.

Here are the cut-offs for each of the courses:ramjas-1

Destruction at Uttarakhand

As a child I was amused at the premonition of the Soothsayer when he predicted the Death of Julius Caesar, who out of sheer vanity not only discarded his advice, but also admonished him for the same. A similar analogy can be drawn to the travesty that now surrounds Uttarakhand, the sole exception being, the vanity and obliviousness of the Government has gravely pulverized the State Exchequer and costed the lives of its own denizens, as against the death of one ruler.

The wrath of nature is witnessed whenever the sensitive balance is tilted towards artificial usurpation of environment’s domain, in the guise of “development”. This archaic debate of “development” versus “conservation of nature” is not merely academic, for the very cataclysmic video footages, news feeds and print media have served as a testimony to nature’s retaliation for the acts done by our hands. The recent flash floods in Uttarakhand in almost all major tributaries of Ganga and Yamuna, particularly Bhagirathi, Alakhnanda and Mandakini have affected and shaken us.

The blame game, which is a necessary by product of every mishappening in our country, has already begun, where both the Central Government as well as the State Government are rebuking each other and their predecessors in chair for faulty policy making, ineffective implementation, absence of rescue and relief strategy, steaming constitutional debates on whether the present system should be governed under Entry 56 of the Union List or under Entry 17 of the Sate List, and the classic press release phrase “mis-governance”.  What lies on the other hand of this scale is innumerable unreported deaths, devastation of public property, and over sixty thousand stranded people, who are yet to be afforded anything as remotely close to the term “relief”.

Genesis of the Problem and Observations made by the CAG Report

India boasts of being ranked sixth in terms of largest hydel power generation capacity countries. Domestically, hydel power accounts for 1/4th of India’s dependence on energy. The Hydel Power Report of Uttarakhand published in the year 2008, categorically acclaims that the State has the potential to harness almost 20,000 MW of electricity through hydel power. Blinded with such ambitious target, the State Government failed to notice, either deliberately or otherwise, the very first objective on the same page, which has been reproduced as: “To harness the environment friendly Renewable Energy resources and enhance their contribution to the socioeconomic development of the State.” Another important objective which the State while implementing the said project, was oblivious to, is “To enhance the use of energy sources that assist in mitigating environmental pollution.” The current policies, as the CAG Report categorically points out, are aimed at aggravating and not mitigating environmental pollution, and have been a cause of the floods in and around the region.

Periphrastically speaking, the ongoing havoc that was witnessed in Uttarakhand was preordained in the report published by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India as late as in 2009, reproaching the Central Government and the Government of Uttarakhand for its dual role of faulty hydro power policy making as well as ineffective policy implementation. Some of the main concerns highlighted in the CAG Report are:

  1. Due to the over ambitious policy of the State Government to create multiple river channels, and multiple power projects on the same tributary, a serious endangerment of environment is certainty. With over 42 Projects currently functioning, and 203 projects in construction and clearance stage, at every 6 – 7 kms stretch, there will be a dam to obstruct the flow of the river.
  2. All the projects are based on high seismic areas in and around districts chamoli, rudra prayag, pithoragarh, Almora and despite severe earth quakes in 1720, 1803, 1991, and 1999 the multiplicity of hydro power projects, without adequate counter seismic measures continue to run rogue thereby causing serious risk to the lives of the people.
  3. There is a clear enumeration of Flash Floods which would result in severe destruction to life and property in and around the low lying areas of the hills. Table Appended to the Report has further highlighted various instances wherein such flash floods have occurred previously in the same areas.
  4. No evidence to suggest that for failure to comply with the conditions of Environmental Impact Assessment, a penalty was imposed on the builders.
  5. Failure of the nodal agency to ensure submission of quarterly and half yearly compliance reports by the management.
  6. Flagrant Negligence towards Environmental and Security Concerns.
  7. The adverse impact on the ecology was further underscored by the fact that almost 4 out of 5 Power Projects have shown the complete drying up of river beds to a trickle resulting into severe impairment and devastation of the ecology, and imbalance in the water table resulting into drying up of  natural aquifers in the nearby areas.
  8. According to International Standards, the minimum discharge of river downstream should be maintained at 75 % so that the aquatic life remains intact. However, the present projects are discharging downstream river by 90 % and above which results into complete devastation of the aquatic life.
  9. Faulty Pre-Feasibility Survey Reports, which gives inaccurate data for evaluation of the hydro power station, which means serious short comings in ascertaining whether the location to construct is feasible or not, questions on plant efficiency and what would be the impact of soil erosion, etc. remain in a state of serious jeopardy.
  10. 10.  As much as 38 % of the total projects which have been granted an Environmental Clearance have failed to carry out mandatory plantation.

By – Passing The Law

As per the Gazette notification issued by the Central Government under Sections 2 and 3 of the Environment Protection Act, 1986, the area surrounding the river Bhagirathi from Gaumukh to Uttarkashi, which is 135 kms stretch, was declared to be “eco sensitive area”. A total area of about 4179.59 sq km came under the eco-sensitive zone. This will impose restrictions on quarrying, commissioning hydropower projects on Bhagirathi, and construction of roads in the prohibited area. Besides, it will impose a ban on felling of trees and setting up of factories to manufacture furniture and other wooden items. For the purposes of effective implementation, the State Government, with the help of the local NGO’s and people was mandated to formulate a Zonal Master Plan surrounding the area, whereby every hydel power which is below 20 MW of Power Generation Capacity had to take a clearance from the State Ministry. However, the State Government opposed the said notification in May as they were not “consulted” before this policy was formulated; among concerns voiced by the citizens that an embargo on development would send them back to the Stone Age, which in reality was not what the notification envisaged. This mutual blame game and inter-ministerial trifles have led to such travesty. Today the very area surrounding Bhagirathi and parts of Uttarkashi are the worst hit areas of the State.

Travesty of Environmental Clearance

Another notification issued by the Central Government warrants deliberation. It was mandated that before sanctioning the projects, or before expanding or modernizing hitherto existing projects, it was obligatory to procure an Environmental Impact Assessment Clearance from the Central Government and the State Government. Every Hydel Power project was subjected to the same strictures as have been mandated under Section 3(1) and Section 3(2) (v) of the Environment Protection Act, 1986. Such an EIA has to be in conformity with the Standards laid down by the National Environment Policy, and the guidelines that have been made under Rule 5 of the Environment Protection Rules.

There are four stages before procuring an Environmental Clearance:

  1. Screening wherein the projects are divided into two categories, those to be assessed by the Central Government (Category A Projects which are over and above 25 MW capacity power projects), and those to be assessed by the State Government (Under 25 MW Capacity Power Projects).
  2.  Scoping by which the Expert Committee determines on detailed concerns (current and probable) regarding Environmental Depletion or damage, at which stage the Committee is empowered to allow or reject the application seeking commencement of the project.
  3. Public Consultation which provides for a public consultation held in the auspices of the site, obtain responses of all stake holders, villagers, etc. in writing and to be supervised by the State Pollution Control Board, but which specifically excludes “modernization of irrigation projects” out of its domain.
  4.  Appraisal which means the detailed scrutiny by the Expert Appraisal Committee or State Level Expert Appraisal Committee of the application and other documents like the Final EIA report, outcome of the public consultations including public hearing proceedings, submitted by the applicant to the regulatory authority concerned for grant of environmental clearance.

In addition to the aforementioned checks and balances, there is a periodic Post Environment Clearance monitoring which are to be submitted on a half yearly basis by the management. This provides a very rosy picture of the law that governs such clearances; however the reality is far from such notion. For instance, according to the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, as much as 38 % of the total industries and projects functioning in the area, and which have received a green signal to operate, have not complied with the mandatory plantation of trees in and around the site. This has resulted into serious deforestation in the hilly areas, which results into soil erosion. Himalayas being young fold mountains, have a very unstable soil compaction, as compared to other mountain ranges, because of which soil erosion can assume cataclysmic proportions, it is also the reason why rivers are changing their natural course and cutting deep crevices in the hills, wreaking havoc amongst those who stand in its way.

Are we to blame?

This is one perpetual question, which warrants a sordid introspection. Reports have also suggested that illegal construction of motels, rest houses, guest houses, hotels and restaurants have been made in the river bed, whereas a notification issued by the State Government clearly prohibits any illegal construction in or around 100 metres from the river bed. This is supplementary to the damage that has already been carried out by the Government. Media reports further stipulate that there was no effective functioning authority in the name of “State Disaster Management Authority”. The moot question that now faces us is whether this calamity was “natural” at all, or was it brought about by our own fallacies, inactions, deliberate obliviousness, and negligence. History is replete with instances of civilizations crashing under the might of Natural Forces, and with the present rate of depletion, the future of the Upper Gangetic Basin and the Himalayas hangs in a very delicate balance.

edutreeThe Education Tree organized World Music Day as an initiative to recognize and celebrate the long standing tradition of music by hosting a musical extravaganza at Select Citywalk Mall, Saket, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. today. The day, marked as ‘Fête de la Musique’, was unequivocally a fun-filled fiesta with the single purpose of revelling in the music to highlight its importance. Music is enjoyed by all regardless of taste; it fosters diversity, cuts across boundaries and unites people. Therefore World Music Day provides the perfect backdrop to promote this.

The Education Tree united a conglomeration of different genres by bringing together more than 150 musicians and dancers. The festivities witnessed spontaneous performances, sing-alongs, choruses, ad-lib acapellas, danceshowcases. Impromptu musicmobs and flashmobs also added to the spur-of-the-moment atmosphere of the proceedings. Music styles like beatboxing, qawalli, acoustic etc were highlighted too. Moreover, Delhi Drum Circle also joined in for a very special jam session. The random, festive and lively ethos of the celebrations thus ranged, championed and celebrated music. Casual shoppers and people out for an evening outing joined in the merriment, witnessed and took part in the celebrations.

The Education Tree was motivated by its commitment to transcend the boundaries of education, because they truly believe that all artistic and non-scholastic pursuits like music, theatre, and dance should be promoted and encouraged, and not just academics. They also hope that in due time the event will touch more and more people and help in celebrating the unique status of music.  Having already had successful campaigns like ‘Jo Mera Hai Mera Hai’, ‘Aaghaaz’ and ‘Book Hour’, The Education Tree wants to observe and honour the universal and culturally significant spirit of music and share this celebratory atmosphere with people everywhere.

Every year, St. Stephen’s College has its own procedure for admissions. After the forms are filled, there is a release of cut-offs followed by interviews. Admissions are based on marks obtained in the Qualifying Examination(s) and on interviews held for candidates whose marks are above the cut-offs. The interview list will be out on Saturday, 22nd June. (For entire Admissions 2013 coverage click here)

Here is St. Stephen’s category wise cut-off for 2013:

Eco

Economics received the highest BFS cut-off when compared to the other courses at St. Stephen’s. The cut-off happens to be almost the same when compared to that of 2012. For the general category, the course has a requirement of 85% marks in Maths while students under the SC/ST category have an additional qualifying criteria of 80%.
Number of seats available in Economics: 100

Maths

Mathematics cut-offs have surely risen when compared to the previous year’s cut-off. For the general category, commerce students now require a BFS of 97 instead of 96.25 last year while science students need a 96.5 instead of the 96 that was present last year. The biggest leap is required by Humanities students who would now require a 94.5. The rise in cut-off is not exclusive to the general category since other categories also show a higher percentage requirement for the course than before. The BFS score should be inclusive of the applicant’s mathematics score.
Number of seats available in Mathematics: 50

english

English with its tag of one of the most sought after courses in the college, does show a slight rise in the course cut-off. Until last year, while other courses were providing admissions for English on the basis of CATE (Common Aptitude Test for English), Stephen’s has always chosen candidates on the basis of the cut-off and the interview. When compared to 2012, the cut-off for the generally category has seen a slight rise of 1% for commerce students and 0.5% for humanities students. Students from science still need an extremely high percentage of 98%, same as last year. The SC/ST category also shows a significant rise of 2-3% for students from all the three academic backgrounds.
Number of seats available in English: 60

history

History sees a slight rise in the cut-off with an increase of around 0.5-1% for the general category. The SC/ST category however, shows a steep rise of 2-3% when compared to the 2012 cut-off of St. Stephen’s.
Number of seats available in History: 60

philo

Philosophy under the general category has shown the maximum rise. The difference between the cut off for the two years reflects a change of up to 5.5%.
Number of seats available in Philosophy: 10

Sanskrit

Sanskrit with a 65% BFS requirement across all streams and categories, continues to stay the same as last year.
Number of seats available in Sanskrit: 10

chemistry

Chemistry has received a 1% rise for the general category cut off changing last year’s 95 PCM requirement to a 96 this year. With regards, to the SC/ST category the change is again significant with a difference of 4%.
Number of seats available in Chemistry: 60

physics

Physics cut off records a rise of around 0.67% across all the categories. The subject continues to stay one of the most sought after courses of the college.
Number of seats available in Physics: 60

Update: Students can check the Interview Schedule here.
