By cbpar272 | News

‘प्रा. पुष्पा भावे’ ताई

स्त्रीवादी, गांधीवादी विचारांची मशाल तेवत ठेवणाऱ्या कृतीशील विचारवंत. प्राध्यापक, समीक्षक, लेखिका. कणखर आवाजात ठाम विचार मांडणारी एक रणरागिणी.

आज तुम्ही श्वासांना पूर्णविराम दिला.

जगणं संयमी, हिमतीचं, कर्तृत्वाचं असावं हे जस तुम्ही शिकवलं, तसं मृत्यूनंतरही आपल्या अभिव्यक्त विचारांनी समाज हिताचे काम करता येईल अशी प्रेरणा आदर्श देऊन गेलात.

‘पुकार’च्या युथ फेलोशिप प्रकल्पासाठी अनेक वर्षे मार्गदर्शक म्हणून तुम्ही लाभणे हे आमचे भाग्य होते. प्रकल्पामध्ये तरुण वर्ग करत असलेल्या विविध सामाजिक विषयांवरील संशोधनाला तुम्ही वेळोवेळी मार्गदर्शन आणि पाठिंबा दिला. बारीक नजरेने, त्याचबरोबर व्यापक अंगांनी संशोधन विषयाकडे पाहण्याचा तुम्ही दिलेला मूलमंत्र आजही लक्षात आहे. दिशादर्शक आहे. तुमच्या ह्या मोलाच्या योगदानासाठी पुष्पाताई तुम्ही आमच्या कायम स्मरणात रहाल.

पुष्पाताई, तुम्ही आम्हाला दिलेली मुद्देसूद विचारांची शिकवण, तडफदार नजरेची धार, आमच्या सोबत आहे. तुमची समाजहिताप्रतिची निष्ठा आम्हाला या पुढेही ऊर्जा देत राहिल. तुम्हाला प्रेमपूर्वक आदरांजली.

असंख्य चळवळींना, विचारवंतांना, विद्यार्थ्यांना, संस्थांना मार्गदर्शन करणारी ज्ञानज्योत आज जरी मालवली असली तरी त्यांनी पेटवलेले अनेक विचारदिवे सर्वत्र लखलखत राहतील. एका विचारवंत शिक्षिकेला याहून मोठी आदरांजली ती काय!

ताई,

तुम्ही साहित्य आणि संघर्षाला एका सुरात ओवून

शब्दा-शब्दांत फुलं पेरलीत,

तुमच्या ओजस्वी वक्तृत्वाची तुतारी वेळोवेळी फुंकलीत,

अन्यायाविरुद्धच्या लढ्यात मुल्यांची धार लावलेली लेखणीतलवार हाती घेतलीत.

तुमच्या झुंझार आयुष्याला सलाम!

सलाम तुमच्या तीक्ष्ण नजरेला,

कणखर बाण्याला,

विवेकशील नेतृत्वाला,

अगाढ ज्ञानाला,

माणूसकीच्या प्रेमाला,

सलाम तुमच्या दुर्दम्य इच्छाशक्तीला,

तुमच्या निर्भय-बेधडकवृत्तीला,

तुमच्या चळवळीच्या ओढीला

सलाम तुमच्या तेजस्वी कारकिर्दीला!

पुकारच्या वतीने त्यांचे विद्यार्थी श्रुतिका-सुनीलने वाहिलेली प्रेममय शब्दांजली

PUKAR’s Small Contribution to Coivd-19 Relief Work

By cbpar272 | News

Covid-19 pandemic has hit the life of everyone very hard. Everyone is affected by the pandemic but the people living in resource poor neighbourhood especially daily wage earners are affected the most. Almost all the CSOs are on field trying to support these people in whatever capacity they can. Similarly PUKAR tried to reach out to the people of these hard to reach areas in the city of Mumbai and suburb. PUKAR started with raising awareness through series of posters and videos. In order to help them with food security we decided to appeal our generous supporters to raise funds. We have covered the areas like Kaula Bandar, Kolsa Bandar, Kali Reti Bandar, Dargah Galli, Pardhi Wada, Jay Bhim Nagar, Cheeta Camp, Karbala Chawl, Janta Nagar, Indira Nagar, Shivaji Nagar, tribal areas in Palghar and many more. We are happy to share that 45000 people have been supported by distributing ration.

Team PUKAR faced so many challenges during the work especially with the procurement and transportation of grains. It was very hard to get ration on right price and then transport it to the areas where the actual distribution took place. The shopkeepers were not ready to negotiate on the price and accept payment through bank transfer. The team faced other adversities like police, fasting during Ramzaan month in the initial period, scorching heat and issues of crowd control. In order to do crowd control the BRs conducted a census of all the households (HH) they worked with so that no HH was excluded from the support. They faced the risk of being contracted by the virus while distributing the ration to the people even though they have ensured all the security measures like covering the face by a mask, ensuring social distancing, sanitizing hands etc. PUKAR salutes its team for risking their lives and executing the relief work despite all these challenges.

PUKAR is grateful to Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives, India Development Service, Shabnum and Sunil Sanghvi Charitable Gift Trust, Stichting Daida Foundation, Globescan Incorporated, Professor Anup Malani, Mr. Shirish Shah and Ms. Swapna Shah and all the other people for their invaluable support to PUKAR enabling us to help these many people.

Researchers to Changemakers and Leaders

By cbpar272 | News

PUKAR congratulates the 15^thcohort of its Barefoot Researchers (BRs) for successfully completing one year diploma course in ‘Community Based Participatory Research and Advocacy’. The journey began one year ago with the search of self, social realities and issues with communities they hail from. Now they have become Changemakers ready to explore the community issues and find the solutions for those problems. The course is accredited by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). This accreditation will help them to increase their employability prospects.

Total nine groups completed their journey as a researcher and presented their research findings in the Graduation Ceremony on July 25, 2020 to 287 people. This year’s event was a bit challenging as we had to conduct the ceremony online due to Covid-19 pandemic. It was our first experience along with the BRs to manage such a big event online. PUKAR is proud to share that the BRs presented their works very well on this new platform.

For PUKAR, it’s not an end but it’s a beginning of a new journey on a new platform of Digital Medium with the next cohort of Changemakers. PUKAR wishes the BRs every success in life and hopes that they will pass the torch to other youth making ‘The Movement of Barefoot Researchers’ stronger.

PUKAR is thankful to all the people who attended the event and for their encouraging words for the BRs.
