| CLIMATE IMPACTS DAY 05/05/2012 |
The Dots are connected... great success in observing CLIMATE IMPACTS DAY on 5th May '12. For details pls click on http://www.climatedots.org/ 4th May: The Invitation (courtesy :- Climate Dots) Dear Friends, Across the planet now we see ever more flood, ever more drought, ever more storms. People are dying, communities are being wrecked — the impacts we’re already witnessing from climate change are unlike anything we have seen before. But because the globe is so big, it’s hard for most people to see that it’s all connected. That’s why, on May 5, 2012 the Dots will be Connected. In places from drought-stricken Mongolia to flood-stricken Thailand, from fire-ravaged Australia to Himalayan communities threatened by glacial melt, people will hold rallies reminding everyone what has happened in our neighborhoods. And at each of those rallies, from Kenya to Canada, from Vietnam to Vermont, someone will be holding a…dot. A huge black dot on a white banner, a “dot” of people holding hands, encircling a field where crops have dried up, a dot made of fabric and the picture taken from above..... The organisers of the event (Connect Dots/ Climate Dots, a project of 350.org will share those images the world around, to put a human face on climate change– they will hold up a mirror to the planet and force people to come face to face with the ravages of climate change. CASA is doing its bit by spreading it to its own networks through this website. for details please log onto http://www.climatedots.org/ |

MNREGA is such an important Act that can improve the livelihood resources and economic condition of poor people, provided it is effectively implemented. It can not only enhance the income of the rural poor in the short term but also can create durable assets in the villages and thus generate productive infrastructure in a sustainable manner which is much needed for poverty alleviation. However question remains on the implementation of the Act. The government has initiated many welfare schemes and policies but poverty still remains high. Policies are good but implementations of these policies are pathetic. That is why it is aptly said that “All policies and Acts are as good as they are implemented” !
