HISTORY AND RIGHT OF EDUCATION

Education is necessary for the development of an individual. It plays an important role in incorporating human values. And also makes path for social and economic upgradation. From ancient times , India has always been a strong supporter of education because of which it is known as the universal teacher of knowledge. With times our education system has gone through several changes. To know India in a better way, in terms of education, it is important to know about the ancient education system.

In ancient times education was imparted through Gurukuls. Pupils used to reside in Gurukuls to gain knowledge. In those days life was divided into four asharms. First one was Brahamacharya Ashram in which students stay till the age of 25. They were given the complete knowledge of Vedas, Upnishadas and other religious books. Education in this vedic age was based on human values. The purpose of imparting this kind of learning was to prepare the students in mental, physical and spiritual way. The student was inspiried to gain moksha. India's ancient universities Nalanda, Takshila and Vikramshila were famous worldwide. Foriegn tourists in their travel books have mentioned the high standard of education imparted in these reputed universities. Many travellers have written that education standard was so high that the students who came for admission were interviewed first by the gatekeeper. With time education system was introduced by different foreign rulers.

If we look at the education system before Independence, we will find that the Britishers worked for the devolopment of education but at the same time they also imposed their education system on India. In the year 1813, they proposed to give one lakh rupees for the development of education under the Charter Act-43. This was the biggest amount ever given for the development of education. Lord MaColly was the man who was responsible to bring a revolution in the field of education. Because of his hardwork Indian Government announced the education regulation on 7th March,1835. The government stressed that whatever money will be expended it will be only for the devolopment of the English medium education. To bring a noticeable change and devolopment in education system, the government founded the First Education Board in the leadership of Sir William Hunter in the year 1882. But unfortunately the condition of education still did not changed. In 1901, Lord Curzon organized the Simla Conference on Education. This conference lasted for 15 days. During that period around 150 decisions were taken related to education. In 1902, Indian University Committee was established by the government to make certain improvements in higher education system. The Indian leaders blamed the government for trying to impose foriegn education system in India. To review this allegation Hurtong Committee was established in the year 1929. On the consideration of the committee in 1935 the Indian Government launched the Central Education Advisory Board. After this, government tried alot to improve the education system but no satisfactory improvement was seen.

After Independence the Indian government worked hard to improve the condition of education. University Education Board was setup on 4th November, 1948. This Board was headed by Dr. Sarvapalli Radha Krishnan. The Board deeply studied the possibilities of higher education and presented their valuable advise to the government. On 23rd september,1952 the government established Secondary Education Board. The head of this board was Dr. Lakshmanswami Mudaliar who was the Kulpati of Madras university. In June 1953, this Board submitted an agenda of 244 pages to the Indian government. According to that agenda improvements were made in higher education.

EDUCATION POLICY- Planning of education system was done in the same way around the country. Suggestions for establishing new open universities were given. The idea of this policy was to make available more and more opportunities for higher studies and make education reach to the common-man. The policy emphasized on spending 6 percent of national income on the education. In the year 1992 some amendments were made in this policy.On 14th July, 1964 Kothari Commission was formed. This commission submitted some new considerations on which the emphasis was laid on National Education Policy.On this basis Education Policy was formed in the year 1968. This policy included 17 programmes related to the education. After that in 1986 the new education policy was constructed and submitted. This policy gave ideas and views to improve the education system, to impart education to the adults, to make education easier ,for everyone, to maintain the standard of elementary education, emphasis on girl education, to open new universities in different states, to make the All Indian Technical Council Strong.

EDUCATION IN CONSTITUTION-In our Constitution every individual has a right to get education. Free education from the age of 1-14 is also mentioned in our constitution. According to the Para-45 of the constitution, free and compulsory education to the children is mentioned. In the Para-46 of the same policy, education benifits for SC,ST and other backward classes(OBCs) is also mentioned. The subject of education in the constitution was in the state list, but later on it was shifted to the concurrent list.

SALT AND SUGAR IN YOUR LIFE

Sipping on a steaming cup of tea on a rainy day, you reach for the deep-fried pakoras, liberally sprinkled with salt and spices. And when it interferes with sweetness of the tea, in goes another cube. It may seem infrequent every time you indulge the taste buds with palate pleasers like sugar and salt but satisfying that panchant can often leave a bitter aftertaste, by way of serious health consequences.

Nutritionally, all types of sugar are similarly, giving approximately 16 calorie per tsp, except honey that gives 21 calorie per tsp.

A Sugary snacks gets digested rapidly, but produces a sudden, rapid burst followed by a slump in energy. It's this energy crash that boosts hunger pangs.

According to the Diet Atlas of India, 85 gm (20tsp) of sugar and jaggery are consumed every day per adult in Punjab and Haryana, while 40gm (9.5tsp) is consumed in Maharastra and West Bengal daily. Consumption in the other states is lower.

The USDA recommends that 6 to 10 percent of total calories consumed perday come from sugar. That would be 6 to 18 teaspoons per day depending on the total energy intake.

Where as you can Calculate the salt content in food, just by multiplying the sodium content given on the nutritional imformation on food labels by 2.5. So, if a portion of food contains 3 gm of Sodium, then it has 7.5 gm of salt.

The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension( high blood pressure). Fruits, vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy are the main constituents of this plan.

According to the Food Standards Agency, a food product will have high salt content if more than 1.5 gm of salt per 100 gm of food is used. And it's low when 0.3 gm salt per 100 gm of food is used.

Salt is an important additive in the diet and the salt intake of an average person in India is 15 gm per day. The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition's (SCAN) recommendation for adults is 4gm per day(one teaspoon). Sodium is one of the primary electrolytes in the body. But excess consumption can lead to a string of problems which include exercise-induced asthma, heartburn, osteoporosis, oedema, and hypertension.Low levels of salt can be equally troublwsome, causing muscle cramps, dizziness or an electrolyte disturbance that can lead to neurological problems.

It is a mission to chrun our society and make people more humane. It is revolution of awareness to spread humanity and self respect in each person to inspire and motivate them to become self-reliant. Thus our motto is to make our society free from three 'P's- Psychological, Physical, and Professional problems and provide respect,love, and dignity to all. It can only happen when all of us work together hand in hand and think about making every individual healthier, progressive, skillful, more humane, full of self respect...and self-reliant. As wise people say, "Boond-Boond se Samundra banta hai', each and every effort will make this world a better place to live in. This would be our contribution to our humanity.

ADITI FOUNDATION is a National level development organization, registered as an Indian Charitable trust, initiated by a group of energetic young professionals including young hearted senior citizens from different fields. The foundation is willing to support women, children and senior citizen centric health and education, welfare initiatives of individuals and NGO's all over India.

India's economy is galloping with 8% GDP growth. But 17million children of the country work as laborers. Improving women's maternal health and literacy are critical to building stronger families and communities. Here in India, twice as many women as many are illetrate, and girls are still less likely than boys to attend a primary school. In the country, more than 100,000 Indian women die in pregnancy and child birth each year. And over 5million children and adults are living with HIV/AIDS here.

Is only the government responsible for every problem under the Sun?

The desired changes in the society will come only when more and more privileged with a desire to bring about changes start participating pro-activily in "solution-finding" process.

It's just the begining of Aditi Foundation. Hence, we are trying to work on projects on education, health care, girl child, livelihood and advocacy. Aditi Foundation wants to work together with women's leaders, communities, organizations and government ministries and private sector(Corporate Social Responsibility) here to change the mindset of the entire humanity and give underprivileged tools to live a healthy and self-reliant life.

Aditi Foundation will also provide a platform to the young artists to showcase their talent. It will bring writers, musicians, dancers, theatre personalities, painters, etc. under one umberella. Because, ultimately, they all stand for the common people.

बदलती परिस्थितियां

परिवार और समाज में नारियों का स्थान और उनके अन्तरंग और बहिर्रंग व्यक्तित्व की दृष्टी से यदि हम विश्व का इतिहास देखें, तो विभिन् कालों में नारियों की बदलती स्थितियों का हमें सहज ही पता चल जाएगा। हमें ऐसा सुनने को मिलता है की बहुत प्राचीन काल में नारी प्रधान परिवार हुआ करते थे। ऐसे परिवारों से यूक्त समाज मात्र सत्तात्मक समाज कहलाता था। आज भी केरल में और पूर्वोतर राज्यों में ऐसे परिवार मिल जाते हैं। फिर क्रमश: ऐसा युग आया जब परिवार में कार्य शेत्र का स्पष्ट: बंटवारा हो गया। नारियों को घर के समस्त कार्य सौँप दिए गए और पुरूष ने अपना कार्य-शेत्र बाहर चुन लिया। परिणाम यह हुआ की धीरे-धीरे पुरुषों का महत्त्व बढ़ने लगा और स्त्रियाँ सिर्फ़ घर की शोभा मात्र रह गयी। आधिकारों की दृष्टि से नारियों के पिचाद
जाने का प्रधान कारन शायद यही रहा होगा। आज भी हम पाते हैं की जिन् स्त्रियों का कार्य शेत्र सिर्फ़ घर तक सीमित है, वे अपेक्षाकृत परतंत्र है, और जो स्त्रियाँ किसी न किसी रूप में घर से बाहर अपना कार्य शेत्र ढूँढ लेती है, वे कहीं अधिक स्वतंत्र हो जाती हैं अथवा होने की शमता पैदा कर लेती हैं। नारीओं की स्थिति में हेरफेर का यह कारन इसलिए भी उपयुक्त प्रतीत होता है, क्योंकि कोई दूसरा कारन इतना महत्वपूर्ण नज़र नहीं आता। सालों से महिलाओं की बिगड़ती स्थिति और अन्याय से बचाव के लिए तमाम महिला संस्थ्यें सामने आयी हैं पर वे पुरा कार्य नहीं कर पायीं हैं। स्त्री का शारीरिक, मानसिक, और मनोवैज्ञानिक शोषण से बचाव हो, इसके लिए ज़रूरी है की पूरा परिवार अपनी सोच में परिवर्तन करे, या परोख्स रूप से कहें, तो समाज की सोच में ही परिवार्त्न हो। आंकडों के मुताबिक, उत्तेर्प्रदेश महिलाओं के उत्पीडन में सबसे आगे है। नेशनल फॅमिली हैल्थ के हाल के आंकड़े बताते हैं की तकरीबन पचास प्रतिशत पुरूष महिलाओं को उत्पीडित करते है। दहीज के लिए टांग करना, मरना, लिंग भेध्भाव भी वहां ज़्यादा है, पर यह सामान्तया पुरे उत्तर भारत में है। शैक्षिक, आर्थिक, व् सामाजिक विकास में भी उनके साथ भेदभाव ज़ाहिर तौर पर है। प्रतिदिन के उत्पीडन से महिलायें एकदम से नहीं मरती, तिल-तिल कर मरती है, और हर तरह से पंगु बन जाती हैं।

आख़िर इस समस्या का कोई निदान है क्या ? क्या महिला सस्थाएं न्यायालयों में महिलाओं को न्याय दिला कर इन समस्याओं का निदान कर सकती है ?

मैंने अपने कुछ मित्रों से कुछ सवाल पूछे.उनके जवाब का लब्बो -लुबाव था "इस्त्रियों का आत्मनिर्भेर होना मुख्य वजह है पारिवारिक कलह की । जो दायीत्व समाज ने स्त्री और पुरूष के लिए बाँट दिए गए हैं , उसका निर्वहन न कर के पुरूष और स्त्री दोनों पुरूषओचित हो रहे हैं । वैसे भी , पुरूष का स्त्रियन होना सम्भव नहीं ।"

मुझे लगा जब तक पुरूष अहंकार बीच में आता रहेगा , परिवारों में बिखराव आता रहेगा एक और महिला मनोव्य्ज्ञानिक रूप से पंगु होती रहेगी ।

आज ज़रूरत है ऐसी संस्थाओं की जो स्त्री ही नही , पुरुषों के मन की व्यथा भी सुनें और उन्हें परामर्श दे की किस तरह घर में महिला को स्नेह व् इज्ज़त देते हुए मददगार पति , भाई , पिता की भूमिका निभाएं । साथ ही , इस पीढी की परवरिश ऐसे ढंग से हो जहाँ बेटे -बेटियों में भेदभाव न हो और दोनों में समान मानसिकता डालते हुए घर -बाहर के कार्य सिखाये जायें । संभवत: तभी स्थितियों में बदलाव होगा और देश का भविष्य उज्जवल होगा , और यही हमारा समाज के लिए योगदान होगा ।

दिनकर जी 'कुरुषेत्र ' में

आशा के प्रदीप को जलाये चलो धरमराज,
एक दिन होगी मुक्त भूमि रनभीती से
भावना मनुष्य की न राग में रहेगी लिप्त ,
सेवित रहेगा नही जीवन अनीति से

हार से मनुष्य की न महिमा घटेगी और
तेज न बढेगा किसी मानव की जीत से
स्नेह बलिदान होंगे माप नरता के एक ,
धरती मनुष्य की बनेगी स्वर्ग प्रीती से .'

सुमित्रा नंदन पंत जी की पंक्तियाँ

कौन बनाता है ये समाज

महाभाव की स्वर संगति में, गूँथ विश्व को,

एक नया अलोक उतरता , भू आँगन पर।

नए रक्त से हृदये शिरयिएँ होती झंकृत

अंतर का उन्मेष लाँघ बाधा के पर्वत

नव समाज को देता जन्म डूबा स्वार्थों को,

नई ज्योति लिखती मानव के जीवन मन की

गाथा, अभिनव भावों के इतिहास पृष्ट पर.

हमारा पहला सेमिनार

शुरू से सुनती और देखती आई थी परमार्थ करना और सेवा करना मनुष्य का धरम है। बचपन से ही दूसरो की मदद के लिए हाथ बढाती रही। बिहार में अक्सर बाढ़ आया कराती, गर्ल गाइड थी, श्रमदान करने और खाना, कपडे एकाठा करने का आदेश मिलता था। कॉलेज पहुँची तो अन्सिसी में भरती हुई। रक्तदान करना, विकलांग सहेलियों के पढाई में मदद करना, सिलसिला जारी रहा। भोपाल गैस त्रासदी के दौरान चित्राषा नाम की संस्था बनाई थी। सुधिरजी मौके पर चित्र बनाकर बेचते और पैसे एकाठा करते थे। इतने वर्षों में अनेकों बार राष्ट्रीय आपदाएँ आयीं। हमने स्वयं या किसी संस्था के साथ मिलकर अपना योगदान दिया।अपने मुहल्ले में एक महिला संस्था के साथ जुड़ी, पदाधिकारी भी बनी. अदिति भी अपने स्कूल में नेबरहुड प्रोजेक्ट से जुड़ी थी। बाबूजी वृद्ध लोगों की संस्था से जुड़े है। ३० सितेम्बर २००८ को शाम ६ से ९ बजे दिल्ली के आई आई सी सभागार में अदिति फाउंडेशन का पहला सेमिनार हुआ। वक्ता थे श्री अशोक वाजपयी, श्री विनोद नारायण झा, डॉ नरेश त्रेहन, डॉ रंजना कुमारी और श्री ब्रिजेन्द्र रेही। सेमिनार में बातचीत का विषय था 'क्या स्वयमसेवी संस्थाए आम लोगों के साथ मिल कर दुनिया की तस्वीर बदल सकती है? हमारा मकसद था दिल्ली की सभी स्वयमसेवी संस्थायें एक जत के नीचे मिलकर इस विषय पर सोचे की, जिनके लिए , जिस मकसद से काम किया जा रहा है , वो लाभ लोगों को मिल पा रहा है या नही. आख़िर लोग प्रत्यक्ष रूप से या पारोख्श रूप से भी इससे जुड़े महसूस करते हैं या नहीं? समाज में बदलाव तो सभी की सहभागिता से हो सकती है। जो काम करतें हैं उनसे, और जिनके लिए काम हो रहा है उनसे। कहते हैं न 'बूँद बूँद से समुद्र बनता है'। आयोजन को प्रायोजित किया था हिन्दी अख़बार दैनिक भास्कर ने।

हमारा मिशन

अदिति फाउंडेशन का स्वास्थ्य और शिक्षा मिशन है- सब के लिए स्वास्थ्य व् शिक्षा का साधन जुटाना। ऐसा तभी संभव है जब लोगों मे इसे पाने की ललक और जानकारी हो, उसके फायदे पता हों और उन्हें पाने का तरीका भी पता हो । वे अपने हक के लिए लड़ सके। हम कोशिश करेंगे की लोगों को इकठा करे या उन तक पहुंचे , उन्हें जागरूक करे और उनमें यह अलख जगाये कि वे स्वास्थ्य व् शिक्षअ को प्राथमिकता दे। इसके लिए हम उन्हें हर सम्भव सुविधाए मुहैया कराने कि कोशिश करेंगे और उनके अनुकूल माहौल बनायेगे, विशेषकर पिछडों के लिए चाहे वे किसी भी समुदाय, वर्गे, जाति, लिंग या धर्म के हों.
