The Vice Chancellor,Prof Raj Kumar in his address, highlighted the importance of the day by explaining the history of the Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bhadur Shastri and their contribution in the freedom struggle. PU VC said that in the present times when everyone is preparing oneself and nation to respond to the direct health impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus, those of us who work on reducing violence and preventing conflict are also feeling the heat. The coronavirus pandemic is already producing knock-on effects for safety at the individual level, the community level, as well as on international levels. Recognizing and naming the risks we face is imperative, as is highlighting the positive steps being taken to reinforce peaceful resilience, to remind ourselves of our common humanity, and to re-invest in the international systems of cooperation that are more critical now than at any time in the past decade. It has been observed that on different platforms especially at six grey areas we should be prioritizing from a conflict and violence perspective, followed by a roadmap to help us chart a pathway forward:
1. Increases in domestic and intimate partner violence
2. An increase in firearms deaths
3. Increased violence resulting from lack of trust
4. We will see an increase in human rights abuses
5. Fear will be used to incite violence
6. Extreme number of displaced persons will suffer even more
In his address, Professor Nawal Kishore Ambasht who started the pioneering work on ‘Tribal Education’ in the early 1966 while narrating that he is fortunate enough to see Gandhi ji in person while he was moving for a peace mission in Noakhali and had taken his blessings, which changed his life. He also redefined the concept of ‘Satyagraha’ and its difference with the ‘Passive -Resistance’. Satyagraha can be used for the mass mobilization as well as the resolving the conflicts of many issues. He also asked the teachers to reintroduce the concept of Gandhian philosophy via the curriculum as the concept of Values, Life and Thought, attitude of mind, living together concept and especially of Peace when incorporated in the system then the results will be more visible in terms of Gandhian ideology and the same is added via the New Education Policy of 2020.
In his special lecture, Prof. Suresh Misra, Professor of Public Administration & Chair Professor & Coordinator Centre for Consumer Studies and Project Director, NCH & SCHKRMP, Indian Institute of Public Administration, New Delhi, while speaking on “Sustainable Lifestyle in a Pandemic World: A Gandhian Approach”, stressed COVID-19 is the greatest humanitarian challenge to the world since World War II and it has been observed that this disease is created and spread by the rich but the poor are the most affected one. And it has also changed the Attitude and behavior towards the purchasing and consumption pattern of the masses throughout the world. Greed has replaced need concept. He discussed how COVID-19 pandemic is triggering for taking serious action and making policies towards sustainable development which is a combination of both sustainable lifestyle and sustainable consumerism. He said that the initiative for this must start with the students who can draw an action plan for sustainable development and who can spread the message of sustainability. Besides the mantra for this lies in 5Rs – Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and Rethink. He suggested an action plan for sustainable living with a focus on changing attitudes, saving water, fuel, electrical energy, food and use of chemicals. He concluded by saying that now is the time to reverse the adverse effects of consumerism and that Gandhi is more relevant today than it was in the past as Gandhi has very rightly said that “The World has enough for everyone’s needs but not for everyone’s greed.” And the Sustainable Development has to be with Sustainable Production and Sustainable Consumption which is reflected via the UNDP Sustainable Development Goals.

जिले का टॉपर नहीं जमा करवा पा रहा था कोचिंग सेंटर की फीस, स्पीकर ने विधान सभा बुलाकर सौंपा चेक
पंचकूला 1 अक्तूबर- आर्थिक तंगी से जूझ रहे दसवीं कक्षा में पंचकूला जिला के टॉपर शुभम की मदद के लिए विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता ने हाथ बढ़ाया है। शुभम पंचकूला के सेक्टर 14 स्थित एक निजी कोचिंग संस्थान से कोचिंग ले रहा है, लेकिन परिवार के माली हालात ठीक नहीं होने के कारण यह होनहार संस्थान की फीस नहीं चुका सका। ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता को जैसे ही मामले की जानकारी मिली तो उन्होंने शुभम को विधान सभा बुला कर सहयोग राशि का चेक सौंपा। इस मौके पर शुभम के स्कूल की प्रिंसिपल रेणु शर्मा और पिता राज बहादुर भी उपस्थित रहे।
विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता ने कहा कि उनके क्षेत्र के किसी भी होनहार विद्यार्थी की पढ़ाई आर्थिक कारणों से बाधित नहीं होने दी जाएगी। ऐसे बच्चे की मदद के लिए वे हर वक्त तैयार हैं। गौरतलब है कि गुप्ता ने अपने विधान सभा क्षेत्र के सभी 18 स्कूलों में स्मार्ट क्लास रूम बनाने के लिए अभियान शुरू किया है। ये सभी क्लास रूम गुप्ता अपने स्वैच्छिक अनुदान से बनवा रहे हैं। उन्होंने विधान सभा क्षेत्र के सभी स्कूलों में शीतल स्वच्छ जल और शौचालय इत्यादि के निर्माण की भी घोषणा की है।
शुभम ने पहली से दसवीं कक्षा तक की पढ़ाई पंचकूला के सेक्टर एक स्थित जैनेंद्र गुरुकुल स्कूल से की है। गत दिनों हरियाणा विद्यालय शिक्षा बोर्ड की ओर से घोषित दसवीं कक्षा के परिणाम में शुभम ने 500 में 493 अंक प्राप्त कर जिले को टॉप किया है। उसने गणित, विज्ञान, सामाजिक विज्ञान और शारीरिक शिक्षा में 99 अंक, अंग्रेजी में 97 तथा हिंदी में 89 अंक प्राप्त किए हैं। फिलहाल उसने मनीमाजरा के राजकीय मॉडल वरिष्ठ माध्यमिक विद्यालय में नॉन मेडिकल संकाय से ग्यारहवीं कक्षा में दाखिला लिया है। इसके साथ-साथ उसने पंचकूला के सेक्टर 14 स्थित एक निजी संस्थान से कोचिंग भी शुरू की है। शुभम के पिता माली है और सेक्टर 2 और 4 के घरों में कामकाज कर परिवार का पालन पोषण करते हैं। कमजोर आर्थिक स्थिति के कारण यह परिवार कोचिंग संस्थान की फीस नहीं चुका पा रहा था। इसके लिए उन्होंने विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता से अपील की थी। इसी के चलते विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ने उन्होंने वीरवार को सहयोग राशि का चेक सौंपा।
झुग्गी में रहता है शुभम, टॉप आने पर बधाई देने घर गए थे स्पीकर
होनहार शुभम का परिवार शहर के खड़ग मंगोली इलाके में स्थित झुग्गियों में रहता है। झुग्गी में रहने वाले विद्यार्थी द्वारा जिला टॉप करने की खबर सुनते हुए ही विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता गत 12 जुलाई को उनके घर गए थे। घर की हालात देख कर गुप्ता ने परिवार को आश्वासन दिया था कि आर्थिक कारणों के चलते पढ़ाई प्रभावित नहीं होने दी जाएगी। उन्होंने परिवार को भरोसा दिलाया था कि किसी भी प्रकार की जरूरत पड़ने पर उनसे संपर्क करें। यह परिवार जब कोचिंग की फीस चुका नहीं पाया तो उन्होंने ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता से संपर्क किया।
