PUKAR Monsoon Public Event
The hall at Studio X, Fort saw a stream of people walking in continually from 6.00 pm on November 2, 2012. The occasion of PUKAR Monsoon 2012 !!
The Public event of PUKAR Monsoon started with a photo exhibition; whereby all the photos were clicked by the Barefoot Researchers themselves and were related to their Research topics. And consequently the event went into its much-awaited format of Research topic presentations. 3 research topics were presented by the youth groups themselves through a mutli-media presentation.
The event turned out to be a greater success than expected with an audience of more than 100 city-dwellers participating and engaging fervently in the discussion and debate around all of these topics. “Dalit basti sudhar yojna” was the topic which created an atmosphere of political furore. While the topic of “People’s participation in Urban Sabha” imbued a lot of curiosity on the said model. The topic “Dual life of MSM’s” drew much attention from the audience with mixed reactions though displaying curiosity to understand this community of sexual minority.
The concluding session of the event was full of excitement and pride for all the 30 presenters (for the entire event) who were felicitated with trophy for their respective groups and certificates of recognition for their work.
