Tsunami Victims in Kerala, India.

No
cause is more worthy than the cause of human survival with sense of
dignity and freedom. The post tsunami scenario in coastal areas of
Kerala and Tamil Nadu were beyond human comprehension. The
Government and the people were left in dismay not knowing how and
where to proceed. Scores of humanitarian interventions from all
parts of the globe political, philanthropic, charitable,
religious, professional etc got involved from the beginning to
ameliorate human suffering. However, there were also corruptions and
manipulations everywhere. As always, the powerful, influential,
politically and communally had easy access to justice and much more,
but the weak, the vulnerable, the unorganized, the illiterate and
other marginalized sections were the actual losers of natural and
man-made catastrophes.
This
was the context of our intervention in the scene. Our specific areas
of intervention were legal aid and assistance, redress of
grievances, emotional support, social and psychological
rehabilitation and social reconstruction.

Kerala
Model Development has been a myth, much acclaimed and widely discussed for
quite some time, nationally and internationally. The only possible
justification for romanticizing such a claim may be the impressions created in
the West by the scenic beauty, natural resources, literacy and public health
in the State of Kerala. However, the Keralites are well aware that there is
only little truth in what has been profusely advertised as Gods own
Country.
The
people of Kerala State, despite their advancement in education and health
care, are far ahead in the case of crimes, in custodial torture and
deaths, in road accidents and consequential culpable homicides, in the case of
escalating umber of suicides, in the ever increasing instances of sexual
atrocities and

Jananeethi Report
A
STUDY ON DOWRY IN KERALA
Released on 15th January,
2004
|
|
|
Jananeethi explored the practice of dowry and
its repercussions in society and families in the State of Kerala. The extent of
its prevalence in different populations and religious denominations, the
historical, socio-cultural and ethnic factors that accentuated, promoted and
perpetuated the practice of dowry and the colossal failure of the Dowry
Prevention Act (1961) in curbing the evil practice of dowry, male domination and
gender discriminations were some of the explored factors. Suggestions for
developing alternatives to counter the problem are also given. ............

VAGAMON "ECO-TERRORISM"
Jananeethi Report
|
|
|
They call it 'eco-tourism'. It may appear more sensible if you name it 'economic tourism'. 'Confuse, if you can not convince' - is the new strategy Indian polity has been experiencing of late. Beginning with the Paradise, mis-representation has been the effective tool used by evil forces for the fall of man and distortion of nature. This strategy was effectively and extensively applied in Kerala state, in the context of the Global Investors' Meet (GIM), the celebrated conglomeration of interests - market, mafia and manipulators. One of the targets in the GIM, being emerged, is the 'dream land' of "God's own country" - the Vagamon Region. This has been very much in public debate in Kerala in recent times.

Multinational
companies (MNCs) invading developing countries under the pretext of
development deviate into devious devises to amass wealth, breaking the above
subtle laws of ecology. There is chaos following the greed. The Hindustan
Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. too followed the same path while taking roots
in a hamlet of a developing country, brutally uprooting the agriculture,
culture, health and peace, to plunder.......

THICHUR
The First
LITTIGATION-FREE
VILLAGE
Jananeethi Report
|
|
|
A
litigation-free village was indeed an
impossible dream. But
the people of Thichur village, a seemingly unknown, sleepy village in Varavoor
panchayat of Thrissur District, in
Kerala State made it happen on the 7th
day of May 2000. The
road to success was slow, hard and often frustrating. But at the end, it was a
moment of exaltation to cherish and a history to emulate.
