“Sheltering 25 street dogs against all odds”

It started some years ago at Surampalli, Vijayawada city when Mr. Shoury Babu Rebba, doing human programs brought home a street dog, seriously injured in a road accident. Due to his timely intervention and proper medication the life of the dog has been saved and it has become part of our family. But, this has ignited in us the new initiative to take up “animal welfare” activities along with human welfare activities. Thus started the “Animal Welfare Ashram” at our home itself. Slowly, the number of does in distress given shelter in our “Ashram” has been increased and reached 25 by the end of the first year.

For a animal welfare, we think an ABC (Animal Birth Control) and rescue dogs in Vijayawada city with the support of animal lovers may be involve voluntarily.

Activities of KISES : ➢ SELF HELP GROUPS : KISES strongly believes that to have the sustainable development in the family the

women should have the economic power and though initially the men were reluctant for the economic power to the women but gradually convinced by the awareness meetings.

➢ CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMME: The main object of this programme is to as loss of parents or

economically weakened families the children deprived opportunities and their Rights, consequently becomes the victims of exploitation.

➢ EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME : Self Employment scheme for women KISES conducted a tailoring centre

for school dropout girls and unemployed youth at Rebbavaram village for the girls from surrounding villages. ➢ Area Selection : KISES selected the island villages of Nagayalanka Mandal is mainly there is no

NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY On 28 February in the year 1928, the renowned Indian physicist Sir Chandra sekhara Venkata Raman discovered the phenomenon of scattering of light, popular as Raman Effect, at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in Kolkata. Recognizing the significance of the discovery in the field of Physics and the contribution of C.V. Raman, the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC) proposed to celebrate 28 February as National Science Day. The Government of India approved the request and therefore since 1986, the country has been celebrating this day as National Science Day. Also, the Raman Effect was honoured with the rank of being a National Historic Chemical Landmark by the American Chemical Society on 15 December 1998. It got designated as an International Historic Chemical Landmark in the year 2013 on the National Science Day. The day is also observed to recall and celebrate the contribution of all the great scientists of India who made fundamental discoveries and advanced human knowledge. Some of these are: Aryabhatta, Homi Jehangir Bhabha, APJ Abdul Kalam, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Har Gobind Khorana

The Raman Effect : When a light beam passes through a transparent medium, some part of it is scattered. The

wavelength of these scattered rays is different from that of the incident rays of light. This phenomenon of scattering of light is termed as Raman Scattering, while the cause of the scattering is called the Raman Effect.

Awards won by C.V. Raman

➢ Fellow of the Royal Society (1924) ➢ Knight Bachelor (1929) ➢ Nobel Prize in Physics (1930) ➢ Bharat Ratna (1954) ➢ Lenin Peace Prize (1957) ➢ Fellow of the Royal Society (1924) The entire nation celebrates the National Science Day as a science festival by organising science exhibitions, workshops, seminars, symposiums, and many more activities.

by Nuzhath M Syed

Every Subject of Learning makes human life better and empowered, let it be Science, Mathematics or Language (a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so). These are the basic subjects of learning human education system holds in it. The analytical approach of mind gives the shape to these subjects. Lecturing, Demonstrating and collaborating with peer helps to develop understanding of these subjects through reasoning and discussion. There are methods of learning, which are natural like environment based, growth based, area specific, culture specific etc based on collaboration with the entities around and within us. These methods help in self refection as a major need. Self reflection on the level of outer and inner knowledge, within reasoning and beyond reasoning also come into play through the reflection of body, mind and soul. All the methods need tools which appeal to five basic senses and the sense beyond them. Art Based learning uses art as tool in this process of learning and art integrated learning includes art into learning working on the emotional intelligence, critical observation, creative ability and life skills of the children. Spiritual learning happens through internal search for knowledge which guides the intellect in us. Not only on self and life lessons but also social and world lessons. Story telling has always been a powerful tool to provide knowledge through prose, poetry, vocal, theatrical or becoming a story yourself. The child or human in us likes to relate to the characters, puppetry, theatre, film etc are mediums of experiential learning. Music touches the sense of hearing both sensually and spiritually. Fine Arts like painting or sculpting gives the experience of touch, vision and abstraction. Metaphoric representations and Parables have always been the best way to touch the human heart which have been used as tools in most of the spiritual scriptures. We can give up the subject division but should never give up the constructive method of art, music, storytelling, games etc because learning is always connected to methods content can be infused into it. I have been observing the impact of humanizing education through alternate methods of thinkers like Jiddu Krishnamurthi, Rabindranath Tagore, Al Ghazali or Ibn Sina or Sufi Mystical Methods, Yogic Methods of education which have tried to show the deeper you go the possibility of true knowledge reaching you is higher or it is possible you end up in the superficial layers of truth or worse in the fundamentalist literal approach. The kind of philosophy you choose in education can make a powerful impact on body, mind and spirit or leave you with the illusion of knowledge which is surrounded by ritualistic approach to learning, rote methods of education, materialistic perspective of knowledge and worse lack of persuasion and further seeking. Why didn't the major texts in the world come in the form of dull prose or equations why did they take the art's route of poetry and storytelling as in Quran, Psalms, Bible, Torah or Buddhist Parables. What we consider the mainstream education method today are nothing but a way of cutting the creative person inside and making all the same. Cutting diversity of thoughts and souls to one common path. Let it be the Western Education of Industrialization or Religious Methods of so called Religious Institutions whichever faith they belong to. Tribal Culture has been different to the farming culture and the modern industrial culture, the alternative method serves best as an option for the child to learn from and excel in the areas of interest and internal qualities they are born with. Gurus or Ustads or Teachers of all methods in the past used the alternative approach, though the eternal content and truth might be similar but all the children have different ways to approach it. If you cut a poet's romanticism and force him to be scientific in approach you will create more of one kind of machines which we keep calling humans. The above scenario is not only bad but very destructive. I always hoped to keep the education constructive and sustainable not destructive which is void of satisfaction, this hope allowed me to go deeper into not only the arenas of education philosophy but also into myself and my religious text. As Education makes future of this world, I see the storytellers and artists are as much needed to create more and more efficient systems as scientists and this might create satisfied societies in all subject areas whatever the child chooses to pursue. They can only choose when they are polymaths at the entry level of primary, secondary and higher secondary education. What will be the society when we see there is only one truth and people are just the seekers of it through different viewpoints. The teachers will become more efficient with these approaches of integration because they would be internally compelled to keep learning and being creative in their approach to satisfy the children's questions. The teachers should be compelled to be polymaths themselves and this will not only change how the children grow but also how the teachers impact the people around them. I am sure you will call me an idealist but if not approached from an ideal viewpoint no other view point can be reached. Because Ideal itself means "a standard to strive toward". I will strive towards it and keep hoping you will accompany me in this striving towards that standard.

Strive towards Ideal



Why Disabled Persons are so Hurried …?

A moment with Accessible and Dysfunctional E-CORNER of SBI

Yes, we are a bit hurried about things, about smells, about life around and inside us. Today I went to an ATM nearest to my home, MVP COLONY, VISAKHAPATNAM… First ever Accessible ATM and E-corner by SBI that’s been advertised in papers. As and when our car used to cross that I used to see at that with lot of hope, that one day I can access that, without any help of others, without someone always breathing behind my neck. Hmmm.. Life of disability is so fun and so irritating at times…!! So finally I went there, parking is already taken. the ramp is good. But still, someone needs to push it. Here, I am talking about the angle of it. They have put tactile tiles, but no Braille instructions anywhere. So you forget sign language instructions/interpreters. They have put an assistant there to help all of us (universally, including normal customers) who don’t have any clue of anything happening. Inside .. finally the server is down and they think being on wheelchair, my mind is also gone and I don’t know internet based issues…. They don’t know when it will be OK. And suggested me to go to branch nearby which is in the upstairs. My husband’s face is dark with rage. They just physically allowed me, not functionally. Still functional disability is there for everyone. Here, i don’t blame one particular person. But the lack of knowledge on what is called UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND ACCESS..I laughed at the irony of birth of hackers like Julian Assengem, who were born out of exasperation and revenge.. lol while accessing the ramp, we had to specifically ask people to remove fancy mat ( you can see that in picture) , so that its easier for care giver to push my wheelchair. An extra person has to open the door for me… hmmm.. long dead independent living in India..!! Having said that, I have enjoyed my so called bank (look alike) visit. Because its the first time, being a finance professional I entered bank physically with just a single person, rather than, someone lifting or I am using my smartness not to go to bank. It’s just that, people and system improves the quality of ATM‘s and access … for many PHYSICALLY vulnerable people like me , PREGNANT WOMAN, ELDERS, PERSONS WITH GAIT AND ORTHRITIC PROBLEMS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES EITHER VISIBLE OR HIDDEN. NOW THAT THE NEW PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES DRAFT BILL IS TABLED WITH ALL ITS FLAWS AND LIMITATIONS DESPITE PROTEST FROM SEVERAL ACTIVISTS… THERE ARE CERTAIN ISSUES THAT GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO FOCUS FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT · Persons with disabilities and vulnerabilities are way too bigger segment to NOT TO CATER. · The quality of service, gets bettered when banks involve persons with disabilities, not otherwise. · DESIGN, ATTITUDE, RIGHT KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY TO UNIVERSAL ACCESS… THEY MAIN INGREDIENT OF SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ( THOUGH IT’S A JIANT LIKE STATE BANK OF INDIA, ONE HOLE IS ENOUGH TO SINK A SHIP ) while coming back , my husband categorically said- “ why you hurry about every new thing that’s around the corner , i know these people and i want to test before all these things .. in order to save you the disappointment…hmmm my unspoken answer to him is like this-

Yes, we disabled are hurried … to experience life, to taste, smell, eat, wear, live, love … we never know when this clock stops and our account closes.. !! Permanently ..!! –Sai Padma



Tata Trusts is amongst India's oldest, non-sectarian philanthropic organizations. Tata Trusts has played a pioneering role in transforming traditional ideas of charity and introducing the concept of philanthropy to make a real difference to communities. Through grant-making, direct implementation and co-partnership strategies, the Trusts supports and drives innovation in the areas of natural resources management, education, healthcare & nutrition, rural livelihoods, enhancing civil society and governance, media, arts, crafts & culture, and diversified employment. The Trusts engages with competent individuals and government bodies, international agencies and like-minded private sector organizations to nurture a self-sustaining eco-system that collectively works across all these areas.

How the Idea of micro planning initiative came into reality. It all started when the Hon’ble Prime Minister announced the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) in October 11, 2014 to make Indian villages into smart villages. This scheme proposes that during the tenure of the present Parliament, each of the 795 MPs will choose and work towards making 2 villages in their constituency as "Adarsh Gram" (ideal village). The scheme envisages that the MP will provide leadership to converge all central and state Government schemes for the purpose of ushering in the developments in the Adarsh Gram. Immediately following announcement of the scheme, the Trusts wrote to all the MPs, offering help in community mobilization and micro-planning for preparation of Village Development Plans (VDPs) under the scheme. The offer was to ensure that this was done through competent partner organizations located close to the chosen villages.

The Trusts received responses from various MPs; including Hon’ble MP of Vijayawada-Mr. Kesineni Srinivas and Hon’ble MP of Bengaluru (Rural)-Mr. Veerappa Moily. To begin with, the Trusts conducted a detailed micro-planning activity in Dec-2014 in Gollamandala - the village adopted by Mr. Kesineni Srinivas under the SAGY. The MP was impressed with the quality of the mobilization and the micro-planning exercise. He requested that he would like the Trusts to help him repeat the exercise for the remaining 264 Gram Panchayats (GPs) in his constituency as well. He went personally to meet the Managing Trustee as well as the Chairman to communicate his desire to collaborate with the Trusts at a larger scale. This presented a challenge as well as an opportunity for Trusts to scale this kind of operation. The Trusts began its activities in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, by initiating an assessment of the needs of each village at household level. The Trusts took up this opportunity to design a program called as Micro-Planning Assessment (MPA). With the help of a technical partner, Social Cops, and an implementing partner, Centre for Peoples Forestry (CPF), a comprehensive survey was conducted in the rest of the 264 GPs of Vijayawada Parliamentary Constituency (VPC). This MPA was done digitally with the support of more than 1000 local volunteers who were trained on how to use tablets and smart devices. The task involved gathering detailed data from over 2.5 lakh households in these 264 villages. The MPA was

conducted over a period of three months resulting in the development of VDPs for each of the 264 GPs.

Legislator’s words on Micro Planning initiative

“With the launch of these 264 Village Development Plans for Vijayawada Parliamentary Constituency, we have redefined participative democracy and given our citizens real say in development. In this unprecedented effort, over 1 million people were mobilized for the creation of development plans. What we have achieved today is a big step in our mission to make Vijayawada a model constituency” - Shri Kesineni Srinivas, Member of Parliament, Vijayawada

Way forward

After the preparation of Village DevelopmentPlans through micro planning initiative,they were then presented to executives and decision makers at various levels including the CM’s office, the planning department and district administration. The Trusts also came forward to facilitate the development of these villages with the help of various state departments. For that an MoU was signed on 24th August, 2015, between the Government of Andhra Pradesh and Tata Trusts to develop 265 GPs as ‘Adarsh Grams’.

Gandhi Hill - Vijayawada Gandhi Hill or Gandhi Stupa was formerly known as Orr Hill and is located at an elevation of 500 ft. It is the first Gandhi Memorial with seven stupas (a mound-like or semi-hemispherical structure). Located in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh it was constructed to pay tribute to the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi. The Gandhi Hill provides a panoramic view of the city of Vijayawada. The city lights, the calming breeze and the crowd together turn the place into one of the travel attractions of Vijayawada.

History The huge Gandhi Memorial structure, 52 ft. in height, was unveiled on October 6, 1968 by Dr. Zakir Hussain on this hill to spread the teachings and ideas of Mahatma Gandhi. It is considered as the first Gandhi Memorial in India to be constructed on a hillock.

When it was newly constructed, this monument was the tallest structure on the Vijayawada skyline.

Attractions At Gandhi Hill A planetarium and a Light and Sound show which unfolds the life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi is a huge draw. Gandhi Hill has a well maintained library known as Gandhi Memorial Library which houses a huge collection of books. Books on and by Mahatma Gandhi will give you rare insights into the life and works of Mahatma Gandhi. A toy train which skirts the Gandhi Hill is one of the attractions of the place. A ride on this toy train will give visitors a 360 degree view of Vijayawada city. Gandhi Hill is really a monument dedicated to India’s freedom struggle. Stone slabs with the inscriptions of teachings of Mahatma Gandhi can be seen here. When To Go? What Should You Know ? Operating Hours : Mon-Sun Address : Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh.

a final report. Based on this report given by a MR the business can be done or initiated.
