30. BENEFICIARIES OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

BRINGING FORTH EXCELLENCE IN THE DISADVANTAGED

The kinetics of the high mission of producing human resource of highest caliber from the potential disadvantaged youth involves recognizing the innate talent and research aptitude in the youth and providing them an opportunity to carve a niche in their career. The Centre for Manufacturing Research and Technology Utilization (CMRTU) is a medium through which a number of aspirants have been elevated to the Zenith in their careers.

AN ARDUOUS TREK FROM THORN TO THRONE

Paulvizhian, a Scheduled Caste, (with an M.Tech. in Machine Design), hails from a humble family background, whose father was a mining coolie in BGML, with meager earnings for subsistence. Paul is one amongst seven children of his parents. He had to trek long distances on foot for his schooling. He had a very arduous childhood experience, which was full of thorns, which he managed to cruise along and came to study in the reputed University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering, Bangalore. This was a crucial period in his career when joined CMRTU.

Recognizing the young talent, CMRTU counseled and enthused him to complete his engineering education up to Master’s and also provided him the necessary financial assistance. Later he was introduced to CMRTU, where he has registered for Ph.D. Programme. This brought a miraculous change in his career.

He has traveled widely to present his research works in various international conferences. His papers were well appreciated at the national conference on Recent advances in experimental mechanics at IIT Kanpur.

He is now Reader & Chairman Board of Examiners, Postgraduate Studies, Bangalore University, which is a prestigious position.

SAGA OF A SULLEN BOY WHO FOUGHT AGAINST VICISSITUDES

Shivarudraiah, a Master’s in Machine Design, also a Scheduled Caste, aged 35 years, grew amidst abject poverty in the village of Urdigere, Tumkur Taluk, Tumkur District, devoid of even basic minimum amenities. It was a small hamlet, from where he had to trek long distances for attending schools. Overcoming all the Vicissitudes, he completed his schooling and Pre University Education from Tumkur.

The sudden transition from Village life to the Metropolis was a hot ghee in the gullet of young shivarudraiah. Fortunately for him, there was a solace in CMRTU, which provided him proper counseling and acclimatized him to the changed social circumstances, consequent upon which he obtained successfully Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Shivarudraiah is now a dedicated researcher with a number of research publications to his credit.

A PHOENIX WHO BLOSSOMED FROM ASHES

Krishna, an orphan at infancy, hailing from a hamlet near Ramanagaram, had an awful and checkered childhood and had to bear the brunt of misfortune. He had to walk long distances for schooling with least care and encouragement. However, the poor boy with his spiritual inclination, used to attend Sathsangh of Kaivara Thathaiah, the seer of Kalachakra fame, which prevented him from going astray.

He had neither caretakers at home nor anybody to instruct him in the right path. He did his BE from PES College of Engineering Madya after passing the Pre-University course from the Government Junior College Ramanagaram. He was one of the few Alumni to get entry into professional course.

After acquiring BE in Automobile Engineering, he had a stint of career at a local textile factory in Ramanagaram and Azad Coach Builders. It was when Krishna was working on a temporary

basis in M/s Azad. He was introduced to CMRTU and was provided moral support which was required to unleash the native genius.

Krishna stood up to the great expectations of his mentor and thereafter he never looked back. Krishna came out with a number of innovative research publications at national and international level. He completed his Master’s and is now undertaking his doctoral studies.

WOMEN’S DEVELOPMENT

Background: Throughout Indian history, from the time of Sita, the consort of Lord Rama, there have been women who have occupied a special place in society. Laxmibai, Razia Sultan and Meerabai are names that now belong to history. From contemporary times, women who have left their imprint include Mrs. Vijayalaxmi Pundit, the first woman president of the United Nations, Mrs. Indira Gandhi and Mother Teresa, who was born in Albania but won the Nobel Prize as an Indian missionary for spreading the message of love and peace among the neglected. In the field of sports, many Indian women have won laurels in international events.

The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Directive Principles. The Constitution not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the State to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women.

Within the framework of a democratic polity, our laws, development policies, Plans and programmes have aimed at women’s advancement in different spheres. From the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974-78) onwards, there has been a marked shift in the approach to women’s issues from welfare to development. In recent years, the empowerment of women has been recognized as the central issue in determining the status of women. The National Commission for Women was set up by an Act of Parliament in 1990 to safeguard the rights and legal entitlements of women. The 73rd and 74th Amendments (1993) to the Constitution of India have provided for reservation of seats in the local bodies of Panchayats and Municipalities for women, laying a strong foundation for their participation in decision making at the local levels.

In spite of various initiatives by the successive governments in India, women are among the most vulnerable and marginalized group in work arena. Almost two-fifths of the Indian population lives below the poverty line. Most of these are women and their proportion is increasing. With lower literacy rates than men, and limited access to skills and training, women are less likely than men to find paid work. The vast majority of working women are in the informal economy, characterized by work that is low-paid, with low status and little or no security. Women's wages, on an average, are at least one fourth less than men's. Women's employment is becoming increasingly informal, across all sectors and most regions. Labour

laws are difficult to apply in the informal sector, especially when workers lack the ability to organize themselves effectively. Very few women are members of trade unions and associations, and even fewer hold decision-making positions.

Activities of Women development programme
