PART III : NCC SONG
17.
The official song of the NCC Kadam Mila Ke Chal was adopted in 1963. However, in
1974, a change was felt to catch the imagination of the youths and portray the the true feelings of
NCC. As a result the song was replaced by Hum Sab Hindi Hain which kept on playing in RDCs
till the word Hindi was replaced by Bhartiya in 1980. The NCC song depicts the feelings of unity
in diversity and exhorts everyone to march towards the single goal all being INDIANS.
CONCLUSION
18.
NCC as an organization has unified the youth, not only of our country, but has made
significant efforts to interact with the youths of other country through YEPs, thus expanding the
scope of its training and the ultimate goal of Unity.

In the case of states like Delhi, Gujrat, Dadra Nagar Haveli, Chattisgarh and Mizoram,
incentives in the form of concessions for employment, education are not being given. However,
other incentives like scholarships and cash awards are being given in these States. The incentives
keep changing from time to time. Hence, the cadets must keep themselves aware of the incentives
published in various orders.
CONCLUSION
12.
The youth of Independent India are extremely fortunate to have such an organization
existing in the country which devotes vast amount of financial and physical resources towards their
personality development, and thus is indeed a nursery for grooming of future leaders in various
walks of life. The NCC offers relaxation in the selection criteria for employment in various armed
forces, para-military forces as well as state government jobs; provides opportunities to work for
NCC either in the form of GCI or WTLO. The teachers of various schools and colleges can also
have the opportunities to be associated with any of the three wings i.e Army, Navy and Air force of
NCC and guide cadets.

INTRODUCTION

India is a multi religious democratic country. There are six major religions in India with
Hindus comprising of 83.5 %, Muslims 0.7 %, Christians 2.44 %, Sikhs 1.79 % and others 1.51 %.
4.
The historical analysis has proved that religion has played an obstructive role in the rise of
nationalism. In ancient and mediaeval time it has worked as a system of exploitation. Under the
British rule, religion acted as a main barrier against national unity. The public has now realized the
fact that, religion is a private affair of an individual and it should not be mixed with political affairs of
the state. That is why most of the advanced democratic states have adopted secularism in their
constitution, which is a factor for unity in multi-religious societies like ours.

Customs and Traditions of India.

13
PART I : RELIGIONS AND CULTURE OF INDIA
Main Religions of India
7.
Hinduism. Religion for the Hindus is experience or attitude of mind. It is not an idea but a
power, not an intellectual proposition but a life conviction. It is consciousness of ultimate reality.
Man becomes aware of God through experience. The source of Hindu thought is the Vedas. The
Hindus believe in meditation and yoga. The goal of religious quest is earned by intellectual and
moral discipline. The Hindus believe in re-birth, spirit and salvation. Perfection in life as per
Hinduism is attained through knowledge of truth. The theory of Hinduism lays stress on Bhakti,
Karma and Re-birth.
8.
Islam. Islam means Submission or resignation to Allah (God). The Quran, the highest
authority is revealed and created being the eternal word of God incarnate. All the prophets from
Adam to Mohammad and the books revealed to them are regarded as religious heritage of Islam.
Muslims have to bear witness to the oneness of God and message of Muhammed and have to
observe prayer five times daily with a weekly Juma prayer on Friday noon. They keep dawn to
dusk fast for purity of soul in the ninth month of Ramzan of the Islamic year. Muslims and who can
afford, make pilgrimage to Haj once in life time. The Islamic teaching highlights the purity of life,
charity to the poor and spread of brotherhood.
9.
Christianity. Christianity was founded by Jesus Christ, commands the largest following in
the world. Christ was born in 4 BC in Judaea. He started preaching about the kingdom of God
when he was thirty. His activities roused the opposition of the Jewish high priests who accused
him. He was crucified on the orders of Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor. Christianity preaches
charity, love and peace. The massage of Jesus Christ is given in the Holy Bible. Christianity is not
a religion but a way of life, which guides the actions and life for mental peace and love of
humanity.
10.
Jainism. Jainism derives its name from Jaina (the Conqueror). Mahavira belonged to a
princely family in Vaishali. At the age of 30 he renounced the world and spent 12 years in
austerity and meditation in search of truth. At the age of 47, while meditating, he received
enlightenment. As per Jainism teachings, anger, pride, deception and greed must be counteracted
by the ten best virtues such as forgiveness, humility, straight forwardness, contentment,
truthfulness, restraint, austerity, purity, chastity and renunciation. To keep himself steady on path
of liberation and to destroy karma, a monk has to bear all the trouble that might cause him pains.
The monk has to practice austerity external and internal. It is pure meditation which ultimately
leads to liberation.
11
Buddhism. Buddhism was founded by Gautam Buddha who was son of Indian Prince
Suddhodan. The sorrow and suffering of the world tormented his heart and he abandoned his
house and started pursuit for enlightenment. Gautam found enlightenment while meditating under
a Pipal tree at the age of 42. Buddha preached that emancipation from cycle of re-birth i.e Nirvana
can be attained by path of self purification, with doctrine of love and mercy. Buddhism is
essentially a religion of kindness, humanity and equality. It denounces all claims to superiority on
grounds of birth or caste.
12.
Sikhism. God the original Guru, imparted his message to his disciple Nanak, who having
absorbed the divine spirit became the Guru himself. The message is known as Gurmat. He who
follows the teaching of Gurmat is a pure person and known as Sikh. The same spirit was passed
on to the successive Gurus and ultimately the divine spirit has been passed onto the sacred script
of Guru Granth Saheb. The teachings of Sikhism are that God is one. Equality in society and
leading a life of purity are important. The institution of Gurudwara and common kitchen (langar )
are noble examples of equality in Sikhism.

14
Culture of India
13.
Dimensions of Indian Culture. Various races have been coming to India from time
immemorial. The civilizations of these races differed a great deal from one another. On entering
India, they had conflicts with the earlier inhabitants of the country. These conflicts affected their
respective cultures and through the process of assimilation and synthesis, Indian culture grew all
the more richer.
14.

Arrival of Various Races in India and their Effects.

(a)
Negrito Race. According to J H Huntton, the oldest race reaching India was
Negrito. They were not very high from the point of view of civilization. They did not know
how to make use of the instruments made of stones and bones, how to cultivate the land,
how to make earthen wares or how to build houses. They are now found only in Andaman
Islands.
(b)
Proto-Australiod Race. After the Negrito race, came the Proto-Australiod or the
primitive Australian race. They are specially found in Central India or in South - East India
in the present age. They are also called Austric in English and Agneya in Hindi. Santhal,
Munda, Birho, Asur, Kobra, Coorg, Jaung and such other tribes are related to the ProtoAustraloid race. The people of Australoid race influenced the material and religious life in
India. Indians learnt, how to cultivate the land with the help of pick - axe and to grow rice,
bananas, coconuts, brinjals, betel leaves, lemons, jamboo fruit and cotton from them. In the
religious field, they brought to India many things like the belief in rebirth, various fabulous
stories about the origin of creation, a myth about incarnation of God in a tortoise, belief
about the existence of Gods in stones, the worship of various creatures like snakes,
crocodiles, monkeys etc. The interesting stories in Mahabharat and Ramayan about
Vasuki, the ruler in Patal Lok, the origin of the creation from snakes and eggs, interesting
stories about Ganesh, etc have been taken from the myths of this race. Perhaps, this very
race taught the Indians, how to count the dates according to moon phases and fixation of
sacred festivals etc.
(c)
Dravidian Race. The people of Dravidian or Mediterranean race came to India after
the Proto-Australoid race. They were more civilized than the people of both the races which
came to India earlier. Under their influence new Gods and new methods of worship came
to the Indian religious field. In fact, the word Pooja (worship), belongs to Dravidian
language. The acceptance of an idol, as representative of some God, to offer it flowers and
tree leaves, to offer it vermilion and sandal paste, to burn incense before it to ring bells, to
sing to dance before it, to offer and accept sweets and such other ways of worship were
given to India by the Dravidians. The chief new Gods, who began to be worshiped under
the influence of the Dravidians, were Shiva, Uma, Kartikeya, Hanuman, Shitla and Ganesh
etc. Under the Dravidian influence, the number of Gods increased. Gods and Goddesses,
village God, family God and other Gods of Hindu religion supposed to be 330 million in
number, are all the result of their influence. The importance of the sacred places of worship
increased under the influence of the Dravidians. In the same way, they also preached the
worship of the trees, like workship of tulsi, banyan, peepal, bel and many others. It was the
Dravidians who gave Indians the festivals of Holi and Basant.
(d)
Aryan Race. Aryans made the greatest contribution towards the development of
Indian culture. It is their tongue which is in use today in major parts of India. Their Vedas
are the main roots of Indian culture. The contribution of the Aryans towards the Indian
culture has been thus described by Dr Jadunath Sarkar as a feeling of sympathy and
adjustment, a wonderful evolution of science and philosophy, fixation of adjustment among
different castes through their principle of Varna system and the spread of civilization
among the demons and wild tribes through Tapovan system.
(e)
Muslim Race. Muslims came to India after the Aryans. In his book titled Influence
of Islam on Indian Culture, Dr Tarachand has written that the influence of Muslims on the

15
various parts of Indian life has been very great and this influence has been seen specially
on Hindu customs, on the very minute things of their family, on music, dress, cooking
methods, marriage traditions, festivals, fairs and on the institutions and manners of the
Maratha, Rajput and Sikh courts.
(f)
Influence of the British. After the Muslims, the British deeply influenced all
aspects of Indian culture. The spread of English language brought hundreds of English
words into the Indian languages. The influence of western culture on the prose, novel,
one-act plays and poetry, etc in Indian literature can be clearly seen. Western education
created a wave of reformation in the whole country. On the one hand, the ideas of equality,
freedom and nationality helped in uprooting the social evils like Sati custom, killing of
female child, child marriage and prohibition of widow marriage, on the other hand, they
created a political awakening in the country. The present form of administration in India is
the outcome of the great influence of the British ideology. The present economic
organization, joint stock companies, managing agencies, big factories, production through
machines, railways, telegraphs, telephone, aeroplanes and other means of conveyance
and communication were brought to India from the west. This influence has regularly been
on the increase and it is also needed for the countrys progress, although its assimilation is
equally necessary.
PART II : CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS OF INDIA
15.
India is a multiracial, multilingual civilization with rich culture heritage and has provided
peaceful atmosphere for the development of many religions. Indian culture and customs are
influenced by these religions. The customs of India depict very colourful panorama. There are
certain customs which are prevalent in a particular religion and some are common to all religions
of the country.
16.
Festivals. Indian festivals are famous in the world. Most of the festivals are related to the
change of weather and crop harvesting since India is an agro based economy. The most famous
Indian festivals are Diwali, Holi, Dussehra and Basant Panchami. There are certain festivals which
are prevalent in particular regions only like Bihu in Assam, Baishakhi in Punjab etc.
17.

Customs and Traditions.

(a)
Indian customs are of various types mostly related to local customs, caste customs
and family customs. There are different customs of Hindu marriage as compared to a
Muslim marriage or a Sikh marriage. Similarly, there are different customs of festival
celebrations. All these customs have been protected by law.
(b)
Certain religious customs pertain to a particular religion only, like Mundan
ceremony in Hindus and Naming ceremony in Sikhs. These customs have religious value
and are a means of entertainment also.
(c)
There are some customs regarding dresses and ornaments of women. These are
associated with particular regions, which give a very colorful dimension to Indian customs
and traditions. Similarly, all regions have their distinctive ornaments.
CONCLUSION

18.
India being a multi lingual, multi racial and multi religious secular society, has a vast pool of
customs and traditions. Today, most of the modern thinking has broken all barriers in society.
People have become more tolerant and celebrate most festivals, even if they happen to belong to
other religions and they whole heartedly join all celebrations.

3.
Indian civilisation is one of the oldest civilisations in the world. In the past people belonging
to different races and religions came and settled here. They brought with them their distinctive
language and life style. Different tribes with their distinct languages intermingled with various tribes
of our country. That is why our culture is described as an example of composite culture. It is made
up of all communities, races and religions.

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Importance of National Integration.

(b)

Part II

Necessity of National Integration.

PART I : NATIONAL INTEGRATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE

National Integration
6.
National integration means a feeling of togetherness and unity among the people of a
country. It also means an atmosphere in which all citizens, irrespective of their caste, religion and
region live together peacefully. It refers to integration in all respects, social political, economic and
above all emotional. In an integrated country people share common goals. They all work together
and co-operate with each other for the prosperity of the nation.

17
7.
We must understand that national integration does not mean uniformity of all. It does not
stand for uniformity of religion, dress and food habits etc. It means both, preservation of diverse
cultures and, at the same time living and working in harmony with each other. No country or
society can survive if its people do not remain united. The feeling of togetherness and a sense of
belonging are absolutely necessary for a nation to survive. Such a feeling can only be generated
through the process of integration. Thus national integration is a positive concept which provides
strength to the people to fight against all evil forces. It provides a congenial condition in which
people can make good progress.
Importance
8.
National integration has assumed greater importance in the recent years due to the fast
changing ethos and moral values in the society. The need for national integration was probably
never felt before as is felt today. The turbulent atmosphere and the deteriorating law and order
situation in the country due to various religious, social and political factors have led to the
realisation of the necessity of national integration.
9.
The realisation of its importance in itself is a step in the desired direction. The Government
having appreciated the urgency and seriousness of the subject is taking positive steps towards
achieving the national integration. NCC, one of the prime organisations of the country training the
youth, the future of this great nation, makes the ideal ground to start with. National integration has
been made part and parcel of NCC training. Lot of emphasis is laid on national integration by
conducting national level camps and number of other activities where cadets from all over the
country participate.
PART II : NECESSITY OF NATIONAL INTEGRATION
10.
National integration is necessary particularly in a country like India, where people with
different languages, religions, races and culture are required to be weaved together. The unity in
diversity of which we are proud of can only be maintained if, we have the understanding and
respect for each others religion, customs and traditions. If we have to survive as a nation and
safeguard our sovereignty and national integrity, we have to remain united. National integration is
therefore a basic necessity for survival of any nation such as:(a)

Maintenance of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation.

(b)

Maintenance of peace and harmony.

(c)

Growth and development of the nation,eradication of poverty and illiteracy.

(e)

Internal security and law and order,Culture and religious development.

(g)

Economic /industrial growth, attract foreign investment and increase import / export.

(j)

Exchange of technological know-how and culture .

(k)

Dignity and self respect as a nation, welfare and well-being of the people.

(m)

Foreign relations and better standing among the nations of the world.
CONCLUSION

11.
It is the duty of each and every citizen of our country to strive to achieve unity in spite of
diversity and further cement it. We must remember that there should be no divisions between
North and South or East and West of India. There is only one India of which we all Indians are
inheritors. We are Indians first and Indians last.

INTRODUCTION
3.
In ancient times, people from all over the world were keen to come to India. The Aryans
came from Central Europe and settled down in India. The Persians followed by the Iranians and
Parsis immigrated to India. Then came the Moghuls and they too settled down permanently in
India. Chengis Khan, the Mongolian, invaded and looted India many times. Alexander the Great
too, came to conquer India but went back after a battle with Porus. Hue-en Tsang from China
came in pursuit of knowledge and to visit the ancient Indian universities of Nalanda and Takshila.
Columbus wanted to come to India, but instead landed on the shores of America. Vasco da Gama
from Portugal came to trade his country's goods in return for Indian species. The French came and
established their colonies in India.
4.
Lastly, the Britishers came and ruled over India for nearly 200 years. After the battle of
Plassey in 1757, the British achieved political power in India. Their supremacy was established
during the tenure of Lord Dalhousie, who became the Governor- General in 1848. He annexed
Punjab, Peshawar and the Pathan tribes in the north-west of India. And by 1856, the British
conquest and its authority were firmly established. While the British power gained its heights
during the middle of the 19th century, the discontent among the local rulers, the peasantry, the
intellectuals, common masses as also of the soldiers who became unemployed due to the
disbanding of the armies of various states, became widespread. This soon broke out into a revolt
which assumed the dimensions of the 1857 Mutiny.

PART I : THE INDIAN MUTINY OF 1857

7.
The conquest of India, which could be said to have begun with the Battle of Plassey
(1757), was practically completed by the end of Dalhousie's tenure in 1856. It had been, by no
means, a smooth affair as the simmering discontent of the people manifested itself in many
localized revolts during this period. However, the Mutiny of 1857, which began with a revolt of the
military soldiers at Meerut, soon became widespread and posed a grave challenge to the British
rule. Even though the British succeeded in crushing it within a year, it was certainly a popular
revolt in which the Indian rulers, the masses and the militia participated so enthusiastically, that it
came to be regarded as the First War of Indian Independence.
8.
Introduction of zamindari system by the British, where the peasants were ruined through
exorbitant charges made from them by the new class of landlords. The craftsmen were destroyed
by the influx of the British manufactured goods. The religion and the caste system which formed
the firm foundation of the traditional Indian society was endangered by the British administration.
The Indian soldiers as well as people in administration could not rise in hierarchy as the senior
jobs were reserved for the Europeans. Thus, there was all-round discontent and disgust against
the British rule, which burst out in a revolt by the 'sepoys' at Meerut whose religious sentiments
were offended when they were given new cartridges greased with cow and pig fat, whose covering
had to be stripped out by biting with the mouth before using them in rifles. The Hindu as well as
the Muslim soldiers, who refused to use such cartridges, were arrested, which resulted in a revolt
by their fellow soldiers on 9 May 1857.
9.
The rebel forces soon captured Delhi and the revolt spread to a wider area and there was
uprising in almost all parts of the country. The most ferocious battles were fought in Delhi, Awadh,
Rohilkhand, Bundelkhand, Allahabad, Agra, Meerut and western Bihar. The rebellious forces
under the commands of Kanwar Singh in Bihar and Bakht Khan in Delhi gave a stunning blow to
the British. In Kanpur, Nana Sahib was proclaimed as the Peshwa and the brave leader Tantya
Tope led his troops. Rani Lakshmibai was proclaimed the ruler of Jhansi who led her troops in the
heroic battles with the British. The Hindus, the Muslims, the Sikhs and all the other brave sons of
India fought shoulder to shoulder to throw out the British. The revolt was controlled by the British
within one year, it began from Meerut on 10 May 1857 and ended in Gwalior on 20 June 1858.
PART II : END OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY
10.
Consequent to the failure of the Revolt of 1857 rebellion, one also saw the end of the East
India Company's rule in India and many important changes took place in the British Government's
policy towards India which sought to strengthen the British rule through winning over the Indian
princes, the chiefs and the landlords. Queen Victoria's Proclamation of 1 November 1858,
declared that thereafter India would be governed by and in the name of the British Monarch
through a Secretary of State.
11.
The Governor General was given title of Viceroy, which meant the representative of the
Monarch. Queen Victoria assumed the title of the Empress of India and thus gave the British
Government unlimited powers to intervene in the internal affair of the Indian states. In brief, the
British supremacy over India, including the Indian States, was firmly established. The British gave
their support to the loyal princes, zamindar and local chiefs but neglected the educated people and

20
the common masses. They also promoted the other interests like those of the British merchants,
industrialists, planters and civil servants. The people of India, as such, did not have any say in
running the government or formulation of its policies. Consequently, people's disgust with the
British rule kept mounting, which gave rise to the birth of Indian National Movement.
12.
The leadership of the freedom movement passed into the hands of reformists like Raja
Rammohan Roy, Bankim Chandra and Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. During this time, the binding
psychological concept of National Unity was also forged in the fire of the struggle against a
common foreign oppressor.
13.
Raja Rammohan Roy (1772-1833) founded the Brahmo Samaj in 1828 which aimed at
purging the society of all its evil practices. He worked for eradicating evils like sati, child marriage
and purdah system, championed widow marriage and women's education and favoured English
system of education in India. It was through his effort that sati was declared a legal offence by the
British.
14.
Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) the disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, established
the Ramkrishna Mission at Belur in 1897. He championed the supremacy of Vedantic philosophy.
His talk at the Chicago (USA) Conference of World Religions in 1893 made the westerners realize
the greatness of Hinduism for the first time.
PART III : NATIONALIST MOVEMENT IN INDIA
Formation Of Indian National Congress (INC)
15.
The foundations of the Indian National Movement were laid by Suredranath Banerjee with
the formation of Indian Association at Calcutta in 1876. The aim of the Association was to
represent the views of the educated middle class, inspire the Indian community to take the value of
united action. The Indian Association was, in a way, the forerunner of the Indian National
Congress, which was founded, with the help of A.O. Hume, a retired British official. The birth of
Indian National Congress (INC) in 1885 marked the entry of new educated middle-class into
politics and transformed the Indian political horizon. The first session of the Indian National
Congress was held in Bombay in December 1885 under the president ship of Womesh Chandra
Banerjee and was attended among others by Badr-uddin-Tyabji.
16.
At the turn of the century, the freedom movement reached out to the common unlettered
man through the launching of the "Swadeshi Movement" by leaders such as Bal Gangadhar Tilak
and Aurobindo Ghose. The Congress session at Calcutta in 1906, presided by Dadabhai Naoroji,
gave a call for attainment of 'Swaraj' a type of self-government elected by the people within the
British Dominion, as it prevailed in Canada and Australia, which were also the parts of the British
Empire.
17.
Meanwhile, in 1909, the British Government announced certain reforms in the structure of
Government in India which are known as Morley-Minto Reforms. But these reforms came as a
disappointment as they did not mark any advance towards the establishment of a representative
Government. The provision of special representation of the Muslim was seen as a threat to the
Hindu-Muslim unity on which the strength of the National Movement rested. So, these reforms
were vehemently opposed by all the leaders, including the Muslim leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Subsequently, King George V made two announcements in Delhi: firstly, the partition of Bengal,
which had been effected in 1905, was annulled and, secondly, it was announced that the capital of
India was to be shifted from Calcutta to Delhi.
18.
The disgust with the reforms announced in 1909 led to the intensification of the struggle for
Swaraj. While, on one side, the activists led by the great leaders like Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala
Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal waged a virtual war against the British, on the other side, the
revolutionaries stepped up their violent activities There was a widespread unrest in the country. To
add to the already growing discontent among the people, Rowlatt Act was passed in 1919, which

21
empowered the Government to put people in jail without trial. This caused widespread indignation,
led to massive demonstration and hartals, which the Government repressed with brutal measures
like the Jaliawalla Bagh massacre, where thousands of unarmed peaceful people were gunned
down on the order of General Dyer.
19.
Jalianwala Bagh Massacre. Jalianwala Bagh massacre of 13 April 1919, was one of the
most inhuman acts of the British rulers in India. The people of Punjab gathered on the auspicious
day of Baisakhi at Jalianwala Bagh, adjacent to Golden Temple (Amritsar), to lodge their protest
peacefully against persecution by the British Indian Government. General Dyer appeared suddenly
with his armed police force and fired indiscriminately at innocent empty handed people leaving
hundreds of people dead, including women and children.
20
After the First World War (1914-1918), Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi became the
undisputed leader of the Congress. During this struggle, Mahatma Gandhi had developed the
novel technique of non-violent agitation, which he called 'Satyagraha', loosely translated as 'moral
domination'. Gandhi, himself a devout Hindu, also espoused a total moral philosophy of tolerance,
brotherhood of all religions, non-violence (ahimsa) and of simple living. With this, new leaders like
Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose also emerged on the scene and advocated the
adoption of complete independence as the goal of the National Movement.
The Non-Cooperation Movement
21
The Non-Cooperation Movement was pitched in under leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and
the Indian National Congress from September 1920 to February 1922, marking a new awakening
in the Indian Independence Movement. After a series of events including the Jallianwala Bagh
Massacre, Gandhiji realised that there was no prospect of getting any fair treatment at the hands
of British, so he planned to withdraw the nation's co-operation from the British Government, thus
launching the Non-Cooperation Movement and thereby marring the administrative set up of the
country. This movement was a great success as it got massive encouragement to millions of
Indians. This movement almost shook the British authorities.
Simon Commission
22.
The Non-cooperation movement failed. Therefore there was a lull in political activities. The
Simon Commission was sent to India in 1927 by the British Government, to suggest further
reforms in the structure of Indian Government. The Commission did not include any Indian
member and the Government showed no intention of accepting the demand for Swaraj. Therefore,
it sparked a wave of protests all over the country and the Congress as well as the Muslim League
gave a call to boycott it under the leadership of Lala Lajpat Rai. The crowds were lathi charged
and Lala Lajpat Rai, also called Sher-e-Punjab (Lion of Punjab) died of the blows received in an
agitation.
Civil Disobedience Movement
23.
Mahatma Gandhi led the Civil Disobedience Movement that was launched in the Congress
Session of December 1929. The aim of this movement was a complete disobedience of the orders
of the British Government. During this movement it was decided that India would celebrate 26th
January as Independence Day all over the country. On 26th January 1930, meetings were held all
over the country and the Congress tricolour was hoisted. The British Government tried to repress
the movement and resorted to brutal firing, killing hundreds of people. Thousands were arrested
along with Gandhiji and Jawaharlal Nehru. But, the movement spread to all the four corners of the
country and following this, Round Table Conferences were arranged by the British, and Gandhiji
attended the second Round Table Conference at London. But nothing came out of the conference
and the Civil Disobedience Movement was revived.

22
24.
During this time, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were arrested on the charges of
throwing a bomb in the Central Assembly Hall (which is now Lok Sabha) in Delhi, to demonstrate
against the autocratic alien rule. They were hanged to death on March 23, 1931.
Quit India Movement
25.
In August 1942, Gandhiji started the 'Quit India Movement' and decided to launch a mass
civil disobedience movement 'Do or Die' call to force the British to leave India. The movement was
followed, nonetheless, by large-scale violence directed at railway stations, telegraph offices,
government buildings, and other emblems and institutions of colonial rule. There were widespread
acts of sabotage, and the government held Gandhi responsible for these acts of violence,
suggesting that they were a deliberate act of Congress policy. However, all the prominent leaders
were arrested, the Congress was banned and the police and army were brought out to suppress
the movement. Meanwhile, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, who stealthily ran away from the British
detention in Calcutta, reached foreign lands and organized the Indian National Army (INA) to
overthrow the British from India.
26.
The Second World War broke out in September of 1939 and without consulting the Indian
leaders, India was declared a warring state (on behalf of the British) by the Governor General.
Subhash Chandra Bose, with the help of Japan, preceded fighting the British forces and not only
freed Andaman and Nicobar Islands from the Britishers but also entered the north-eastern border
of India. But in 1945, Japan was defeated and Netaji proceeded from Japan, through an
aeroplane to a place of safety but, met with an accident and, it was given out that he died in that
air-crash itself. "Give me blood and I shall give you freedom" - was one of the most popular
statements made by him, where he urges the people of India to join him in his freedom movement.
Partition of India and Pakistan
27.
At the conclusion of the Second World War, the Labour Party, under Prime Minister
Clement Richard Attlee, came to power in Britain. The Labour Party was largely sympathetic
towards Indian people for freedom. A Cabinet Mission was sent to India in March 1946, which after
a careful study of the Indian political scenario, proposed the formation of an interim Government
and convening of a Constituent Assembly comprising members elected by the provincial
legislatures and nominees of the Indian states. An interim Government was formed headed by
Jawaharlal Nehru. However, the Muslim League refused to participate in the deliberations of the
Constituent Assembly and pressed for the separate state for Pakistan. Lord Mountbatten, the
Viceroy of India, presented a plan for the division of India into India and Pakistan, and the Indian
leaders had no choice but to accept the division, as the Muslim League was adamant.
28.
Thus, India became free at the stroke of midnight, on 14 August 1947. Since then, every
year India celebrates its Independence Day on 15th August. Jawaharlal Nehru became the first
Prime Minster of free India and continued his term till 1964. Giving voice to the sentiments of the
nation, Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said, Long years ago we made a tryst with
destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure,
but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake
to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from
the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds
utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.
CONCLUSION
29.
Earlier, a Constituent Assembly was formed in July 1946, to frame the Constitution of India
and Dr Rajendra Prasad was elected its President. The Constitution of India which was adopted by
the Constituent Assembly on 26th November 1949. On January 26, 1950, the Constitution came
into force and Dr Rajendra Prasad was elected the first President of India.

INTRODUCTION
3.
India has inherited the federal structure from the Government of India act, 1935 ,
which prescribed a federal type union of autonomous provinces, whose governments were
to derive their powers directly from the crown. Such a decision was taken because,
during the post independence era, India was divided into various segments and
empowering them could hamper the democratic working of the country. It was also
believed that the sound economic development of the country required centralized planning
without any hindrance from the state. As India is a multi-lingual, multi-religious and multiracial country, we all Indians should rise above vested partisan interests and strive
towards the welfare of the country.

PART I : NATIONAL INTERESTS & OBJECTIVES

National Interests
6
Every nation, with whatever form of government, has certain political, social and economic
interests and objectives to achieve overall development, prosperity, progress, nationalism and

24
international recognition. To attain such objectives certain national interests are pre-requisites,
which are as follows:(a)
Sovereignty.
independent.
(b)

Foremost interest of the nation is to be autonomous and remain

Integrity. The nation should be full, indivisible and have a well-defined territory.

(c)
Unity. The nation should be a secular union of states with political power
belonging to a central confederate authority, with united and undivided goals without
factional , sectarian or fanatical prejudices. It should be tolerant towards caste, colour,
creed, religion and language of each other.
(d)
Security. The nation must ensure safety, territorial integrity and protection of the
state against external threat or subversion.
National Objectives
7.
India is a developing country. It has made rapid progress in all the spheres after its
independence, viz, agriculture, industrialisation, urbanization etc. To visualise what India would
be in future in all spheres is not on easy task. While ultimate objectives and millennium goals
of the nation lie ahead, the basic objectives are found in the Directive Principles of State
Policy enshrined in the Constitution of India which took effect when India became Republic.
Directive Principles of State Policy lays down a code of conduct for the administrators of
India in the discharge of their responsibilities as agents of the sovereign nation. They
guide the path which will lead the people of India to achieve the noble ideals which the
preamble of the constitution proclaim justice, social, economic and political, liberty, equality
and fraternity.
8.
There are 16 articles of the constitution from 36-51 that deal with the Directive
Principles of State Policy. Important ones out of these are as follows:(a)
To ensure and protect a social order which stands for the welfare of the
people.
(b)

Separation of judiciary from the executive.

(c)

Protection of national monuments.

(d)

Protection and improvement in environment, forests and wild life.

(e)

Organise agriculture and animal husbandry on modern and scientific lines.

(f)

Improvement of public health.

(g)

Prohibition of intoxicating drinks and drugs.

(h)

Promotion of educational and economic interests of weaker sections of the people.

(j)

To have uniform code of law irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion.

(k)

Participation of workers and labourers in labour law.

(l)

(n)

Education to all.

(o)

Equal justice to all.

(p)

Equal pay for equal work for both men and women.

(q)

Adequate means of livelihood to all citizens.

Apart from the above Directive Principles, current objectives of our nation are as follows:(a)

Self sufficiency in nuclear- power.

(b)

Availability of reliable power supply for farming and industries.

(c)

Production of goods for world markets.

(d)

Balancing growth in both public and private sector.

(e)
Modernization of villages, linking with roads and provision of electricity to all
villages.
PART II : THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Threats
10.
Certain factors stand against the all round integration of our nation, which impedes our
progress towards national integration. The cadets need to understand the following factors, in
order to successfully tackle them, and play their part in achieving the goals that align with national
interest:(a)
Regionalism. Regionalism gives more importance to ones own region than to
ones nation. When regionalism is linked with language and religion it creates regional
interests rather than national interests. This creates parochialism among the people.

(b)

Casteism. Casteism is a divisive force. One section considers another section as

inferior. They are exploited. Positions and opportunities are monopolized by a particular
section. It creates enmity among the other castes. Caste organizations interfere in politics.
They function as pressure groups and obtain benefits undeservedly. These factors prevent
national integration.

(c)

Communalism. Communalism is not believing in any particular religion or

observing its rites. Excessive affinity to one's own religion transforms into hatred towards
other religions. Thus religious fanaticism arises. When religion, caste and race are used to
make social and political gains, it is called communalism. The real cause of communalism
lies in political and economic factors. The partition of India is an instance for the
intervention of religion in politics.

(d)

Linguistic Claims. We have seen that the Indian constitution recognises 22

languages. Hindi is the official language and English is the link language. About 2000
languages are spoken by the various sections of the Indian people. Another problem faced
by India was the linguistic reorganization of the states. In 1956 the states were reorganised on linguistic basis. Agitations are going on in many parts of India demanding
state re-organisation. Linguistic jingoism has become an important factor which hinders
national integration.

26

(e)

Extremism. The extremist movements going on in different parts of the country are
yet another challenge to national integration. You must have heard about naxalite
movement or Maoist movement. These movements quite often use violence, create fear in
public life, cause loss of lives of government personnel and people and destroy public
property. Mostly the youth participate in such movements. The basic reason for taking up
arms by the youth is the continuing state of socio-economic deprivations. Moreover, the
day-to-day humiliation, denial of justice, human rights violations, various kinds of
exploitation and political marginalization prompt them to join the Naxalite movement. But
the extremist activities have been threat to law and order and peaceful living of the people
residing in the affected areas.
(f)
Social Disparity. Social disparity among the people of different communities,
castes and sometime within the community and caste causes tension and imbalance
among the people. Social disparity poses great threat to national integration.
Opportunities
11.

The following opportunities must be exploited at all times to ensure National Integration:(a)
Defence Forces & Central Police / Other Organisations. These organisations
provide us with a an opportunity to maintain National Integrity at all times since, these are
all India based organisations and consist of personal from the whole country, working,
eating, living and fighting together for the integraty of the country.
(b)
National Level Games. Games like the Olympics, Asiad, Commonwealth etc,
provide an excellent opportunity to forment National Integration since players / athletes
form all over the country participate as one team forgetting their regional / other
differences / considerations.
(c)
NCC. NCC is an excellent organisation which propagates and maintains National
Integration is all aspects of training the youth through National Integration Camps,
Adventure Camps and the RDC.
CONCLUSION

12.
India is a land of the great diversities and infinite varieties. It is a country with at least 18
major languages and over 400 important dialects. It is a land that has given rise to four of the
worlds major religions. It is home to the worlds second largest Muslim population. It is a society
with over 4,000 ethnic communities or castes or endogamous groups. India is thus a multireligious, multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and multi-regional civilization without a parallel. Therefore, in
order for our nation to succeed and prosper, national integration is an important tool that this nation
needs to embark on.

INTRODUCTION
3.
India is a country with innumerable diversities, an entity composed of many communities,
races classes, languages and sub cultures. In any such nation, there are many obstacles to the
achievement of national integration. In India, various hindrances are obstructing the growth of
national feeling, viz. casteism, communalism, linguistic fanaticism, social disparity, economic
inequalities and immorality, regionalism etc. India is a land of various races; various religious and
various languages. Still then, the Indians developed into one nation by the influence of common
territory, common history and common fight for freedom against the foreign rule.
4.
When India came under the British, they followed the policy of Divide and Rule in order to
perpetuate their authority over India. Consequently, the racial, the religious and the linguistic
groups in the Indian nation first began to disintegrate emotionally and psychologically and then,
desired to disintegrate territorially. This resulted into division of India into Bharat and Pakistan.
Today, the integrity of the Indian nation is awfully threatened as the communal quarrels are fanned
by the hostile neighbours of India. Hence, the necessity of strong national Integration in India has
become so necessary at present.

Measures to Achieve National Integration.

28
PART I : PROBLEMS / CHALLENGES OF NATIONAL INTEGRATION
7.
Casteism. Caste is an imported part of our social fabric. This was developed in the past on
the basis of division of labour in the society. But now casteism has segregated the society. Unity
and integrity has become a dream in a caste ridden society. The feeling of socially neglected
scheduled castes under the suppression of upper caste ruined the sense of feeling and unity. It
becomes a problem for national integration.
8.
Communalism. Religions antagonism has posed a serious challenge to national
integration in India. India is a multi- religious land. Political manipulation has projected one religion
against the other which resulted in communal riot, bloodbath, mutual, distrust and disintegration of
the country. Large scale illiteracy and superstition are responsible along with other causes for
raise communalism in the country. It is very difficult to promote national integration under these
situations.
9.
Linguistic Fanaticism. Multi-linguism is one of the important characters of India. India has
fifteen officially recognized languages. There are about 1652 languages which are spoken in India
which shows its diversities. There is conflict and riots on the languages issue. People of one
language try to establish their language over others. When Hindi was declared as the national
language people of South India resented against this decision supporting English language.
Language issue became a barrier on the way of national integration.
10.
Regionalism. There are several regions in India having their unique traditions, food habits,
dress and languages. Each regional differs from the other in one or other ways which leads to
disintegration of the country. People of one region compete with the person of other regions which
leads to conflict and riots. Land dispute, language problem are some of the reasons which pose
hurdle on the way of national integration.
11.
Social Disparity. Social disparity among the people of different communities, castes and
sometime within the community and caste causes tension and imbalance among the people.
Social disparity poses great challenge to national integration.
12.
Economic Inequalities. Economic standard of people in a state depends on the fertility of
land, resources available and manpower management. All the states are not equal in the above
matter which leads to economic backwardness of the people. Even in a state distribution of wealth
is not properly done. Day by day poor becoming poorer and rich become richest this causes
tension and conflict. It is a problem for national integration
PART II : MEASURES TO ACHIEVE NATIONAL INTEGRATION
13.
Education.. Education of the masses can become a very powerful instrument of national
unity provided that it is used in the right manner.
14.
Religious Tolerance. India is a multi religious country with various religious communities,
such as Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains and Parsies. Each community should
appreciate the coexistence of every other community, should promote love and communal
harmony in society by celebrating / observing important days of every other community. Each
community should help and share the religious festivals of every other community.
15.
Linguistic Tolerance. India, is a multi-lingual country with linguistic groups speaking
different languages, such as Hindi, Urdu, Bangali, Oriya, Assamee, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi and
so on. Each linguistic group should respect the language of every other linguistic group. Every
Indian student should be given full facility to learn his own language wherever he is in India. The
work must be begun at the grass-root levels, for this, a band of honest and popular teachers must
work. From the impressionable age, boys and girls, must be taught and encouraged to mix with
each other.

29
16.
Use of Radio / TV. The services of the Radio and TV must be intelligently used. People of
different states must be introduced to each other's cultures and ways of life and common elements
should be stressed upon. But these will only create an atmosphere of goodwill and mutual
understanding. Other steps are necessary.
17.
Government Initiative. At government level, it should be obligatory for members of the All
India Services to learn at least one language of a state other than that to which they may belong.
On the same principle an All India Educational Service should be organized so that teachers of
one State may serve in another at the popular level, political parties or organizations with a
communal or racial bias should be ruthlessly banned. Finally, all healthy cultural movements to
foster a national, all-India outlook should have to be encouraged.
CONCLUSION
18.
We need national integration on permanent footing and this can be achieved by
enlightening our children. All the children, during their formative years, must be taught that we all
are Indians belonging to the one Motherland. We must not believe in separate identities. It is the
time to merge in one main stream. Unless we develop a sense of unity and leave our narrow
outlook, we might loose our independence.

India is a vast country with diversity in caste, religion, customs and traditions where people
from different ethnological groups having different languages or dialects, follow different rituals in
daily life and work together shoulder to shoulder. In spite of diversity in physical features and
social systems, there is unity in India. It is held together by many ties like territory, language,
culture, traditions, economic growth and inter-dependence

PART I : IMPORTANCE AND FUNDAMENTALS OF NATIONAL UNITY

Importance of National Unity
6. National unity is extremely essential for social peace and harmony. We can enjoy peace and
security, if there is a mutual trust and goodwill among all the sects of people of the country. No
progress can be made by the nation in any field if disruptive tendencies and divisive forces keep
on destroying the very fabric of national unity.

31
Fundamentals of Unity
7.

Some of the essentials for National Unity are as given below:(a)

Language. Narrow minded love towards ones own language and negative feeling
towards others is a major hindrance to unity. No country can stand on the pillars of an alien
language. A language, instead of dividing, should be a unifying force. A via media
acceptable to all would go a long way in bringing about linguistic unity in the country.
Along with regional languages one national language should be fully developed.
Languages of different states should be encouraged in the educational institutions.
(b)
Casteism. It is felt in offices and colleges, in politics and almost in all walks of life.
The feeling of belonging to an upper caste and hatred for the lower caste is not only an
offence against mankind it is a threat to Indias unity. The system of casteism and
untouchability would eat into the very vitals of a society. Casteism should be tackled with
an iron hand. There should be no communal or special constituents. The minority
communities should be given their due share of advancement and communal favouritism
should be sternly dealt with.
(c)
Education. In India about half of the total population is illiterate. An illiterate
person cannot understand what is good or bad for himself or his country. Literacy is an
important ingredient for unity. The pattern of education should be so oriented that it
encourages love, brotherhood and unity amongst various communities. There could be
exchange of teachers from one state to another and there should be no bar on the students
of one state for admission into the universities of other states. It would help to cement the
bonds of unity which is an essence of any nation.
(d)
Communalism. Communalism means discriminatory feelings of an individual
against another on the basis of religion or caste. This also endangers the unity of our
country. Fundamentalism is the greatest challenge to Indias unity. This has to be sternly
dealt with. The politicians who encourage provincialism and regionalism should be
debarred from elections as members of legislative bodies. All citizens should regard
themselves as Indians first and build unity between different sections of our society.
(e)
Regionalism. India is a vast country where regional diversities exist. The feeling
of loyalty towards ones own state or region first is also a major hindrance in unity. People
from different parts of the diversified subcontinent should meet under a common wing of
national consciousness, forgetting the regional differences, sharing the feelings of
togetherness and realise the proud feeling in themselves of being part and parcel of a
common Indian diaspora.
PART II : RELEVANCE OF NCC IN UNIFYING INDIA

8.
NCC creates awareness amongst youth about the diverse heritage of our country and
fosters national integration despite linguistic, cultural, religious and geographical barriers. It helps
cadets gain experience to live together, co-operate with each other and work in harmony with
cadets of other states whom they have not known before, thus helping in strengthening unity as
under:(a)
Ethics and Social Values.
These are very important values in day-to-day
activities on the ground and are the essentials of personality. NCC helps to cultivate these
values through which the spirit of unity and value of personal sacrifice are ignited in the
minds of cadets.
(b)
Cultural and Traditional Values. Our country has diverse groups which have
been divided on grounds of religion, caste, creed and language. NCC organises various
camps and group activities where ample opportunity is given to the cadets to closely watch
the cultural and traditional shows of other regions. It provides the cadets with an
opportunity to appreciate each others uniqueness and cultivate friendship.

32
(c)
Discipline and Patriotism. A cadet is trained to give selfless service to society
and be available anytime for national cause. NCC can be described as the nations
disciplined, trained and motivated young force available for national service to provide
assistance in various places as well as provide future leadership and participation in all
walks of life.
CONCLUSION
9.
It is the duty of each and every citizen of our country to strive to achieve total unity despite
of diversity in culture, language and religion. We must remember that there should be no divisions
between any religion or community. There is only one India of which, we all Indians are inheritors.
We are therefore - Indian first and Indians last.

INTRODUCTION
3.
National integration is essential for any nation with socio-cultural, religious, linguistic and
geographical diversities. A unique feature of our country is that all the major religions of the world
are practiced here such as Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, and
Zoroastrianism. There are more than one thousand languages that people of India speak. There
are also great varieties in costume, food habits, and social customs. Geographically, our land is
diverse and there are amazing differences in climate. Despite all these differences India is one
political entity. We have to co-exist with each other peacefully, respect the culture and religion of
our fellow Indians. This is possible only when national integration is realised in true sense of the
term. National integration is necessary also for the security and development of the nation.
4.
The National Integration Council (NIC) originated in a conference convened by the then
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in September-October of 1961. The purpose was to find ways to
address the problems of communalism, casteism and regionalism The conference set up the NIC to
review national integration issues and make recommendations. The NIC met for the first time in
June 1962. The NIC was reconstituted and met again in August 2005. The new council had 103
members including twelve Chief Ministers, twelve Union Ministers and leaders of all the main
political parties.

agenda items for future council meetings.
PART II : ROLE AND FUNCTIONS OF NIC
9.
The Supreme Court had commended the role of the National Integration Council, set up by
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru ie, To find ways to counter problems that are dividing the
country including attachment to specific communities, castes, regions and languages. Other steps
that have long been kept pending are:(a)
Stern action against hate crimes. Hate campaigns are the incubators of communal
violence.
(b)
Enacting of the Communal Violence Bill and ensuring that it takes care of the
concerns of the Christian community and does not further arm communal administrations
or further emboldens impunity of communalised police elements.
(c)
Comprehensive relief and rehabilitation policies that wipe the tear from the eyes of
victims of communal violence and give them the opportunity of creating a new life.
(d)
Adequate representation to all minorities and underprivileged groups in the police,
administrative and judicial systems.

35
(e)
A thorough revamp of the education system, including a close watch on the recent
rash of communally motivated village and rural schools set up by political groups, so that
once again secularism, religious and cultural diversity and pluralism become the
cornerstone of our nation-building.
(f)
Above all, the State - Parliament, Supreme Court, and Executive - must ensure that
no one remains under the illusion, unfortunately very well founded at present that
communal politics, hate and the demonization of religious minorities can bring them
electoral dividends in an India of the Twenty-first Century.
(g)
To make provisions under Fundamental Duties to reinforce national integration. The
following are important:(i)
To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the
National Flag and the National Anthem.
(ii)
To cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle
for freedom.
(iii)
so.

To defend the country and render national service when called upon to do

(iv)
To promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the
people of India and respect religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities.
(v)

To renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women.

(vi)

To value and preserve the rich heritage of our culture.

(vii)

To safeguard public property and to reject violence.

(viii) To strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective

activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of achievement.
10.
Agenda Points of 15th NIC Meeting. The15th NIC meeting was held on 10 Sep 2011,
where in, some of the important agenda points emphasized and discussed by the Honorable
Prime Minister are under:(a)
Continuously and creatively work towards securing in greater measure, the socioeconomic and other aspirations of all sections of society.
(b)
Emphasing on a focused approach to end the pervasive feeling of alienation and
discrimination among minorities and marginalised sections of society, particularly the
scheduled tribes, scheduled castes and women.
(c)
Promoting greater inclusiveness and social equity and ensuring that the law
enforcement and investigation machinery does not carry any bias, while discharging its
duties.
(d)

Engaging the energy and initiative of our youths for constructive purposes.

(e)
Providing opportunities to our youths to acquire skills, engage in nation-building and
social work, and interact more actively in sports, cultural and other character-building
pursuits. These need to be enhanced and encouraged.

36
(f)
Creation of new opportunities for productive employment for our growing labour
force and emphasized provision of education and health care facilities on an adequate
scale assume great importance.

CONCLUSION
11.
National integration assumes greater importance particularly in a country like India where,
people with different language religions races and culture are required to be weaved together. The
unity in diversity of which we are proud of can only be maintained if we have the understanding
and respect for each others religions, customs and traditions. It is said that united we stand and
divided we fall. If we have to survive as a nation and safeguard our sovereignty and national
integrity, we have to remain united.

A Nation is a community which considers itself one. It is held together by many ties just
like territory, language, culture, economic inter dependence etc. Thus a Nation is a large group of
people, sharing the same culture, language or history and inhabiting a particular state or area.
India is a Nation sharing different culture, religion and history under one sovereign state. Indian
civilization is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. In the past people belonging to different
races and religions came & settled here. They brought with them their distinctive language and life
style. Different tribes with their distinct languages intermingle with various tribes of our country.
That is why our culture is described as an example of composite culture. It is made up of all
communities, races and religions.

INTRODUCTION
3.
The youth of a nation are the backbone and the most powerful force within the nation.
They are the hope of the future and can shape the destiny of a country. History shows that
countries subjected to alien rule have without exception sought the help of youth in times of
crisis. The youth have also been instrumental in the change of governments, whenever
need for such a change has been felt. They have always been in the forefront in the
building of political, social and economic orders of a society. They play a positive role for
the cause of a nation and national integration. Todays generation faces greater challenges
in national building due to the force and pressure of internal politics and external conflicts.
AIM

To acquaint the cadets about the Contribution of Youth in Nation Building.

CONTRIBUTION OF YOUTH IN NATION BUILDING

National Integration
5.
The youth act as a catalyst in an already vibrant country aspiring to find its rightful
place in the world politics and play a more effective role of a true leader. To help India
realise its dreams the youth can and ought to play a leading role in bringing together the
people of different states with diverse religions and integrate them emotionally, culturally
and geographically, contribute in extricating society from age old stigmas of casteism,
communalism, parochialism and regionalism, help preserve cultural heritage and infuse the
spirit of patriotism, thus keep the country together and defeat all separatist attempts by
unscrupulous elements.
Political Measures
6.
Todays youth can contribute immensely to the politics of the country. If a nation does not
rejuvenate its political leadership profile it would be-come old in thought and slow in action.
The youth are the future of a nation and its future leaders. The opportunity provided at educational

43
level to contribute to politics should be encouraged and the youth should learn and follow
clean and meaningful politics which can thereafter be translated into greater national aim.
Security
7.
The nation today faces grave security concerns both externally and internally. This
intensifies when viewed with the fact that our country is a respected democratic country
with a secular base. The terrorist, fundamentalists are a grave danger to our unity. The
youth are the pulse and strength of the nation and with their alertness and
their balanced
approach can help in bringing stability to the nation and help in thwarting selfish designs of
the enemy. The youth are a big force which if channelized correctly, can ensure and enhance the
security of the country.
Social and Cultural
8.
The youth are the privileged persons in the society who can contribute to
development. Therefore they have a special responsibility and should actively participate in
the development plans of the nation. Youth should be acquainted with the major problems
facing the country. Firstly, they should study the basic problem of health, AIDS, environment,
nutrition, lack of education, economic backwardness, ignorance, dowry-deaths, casteism, and
superstitions /false beliefs of the masses. Our society is experiencing a constant change and
faces the conflicting ideologies of the past vis-a-vis the West. Our past with a shadow of
casteism, superstition and religious over tunes needs a balanced approach and the youth can
play a very important role in this regard and educate the general public about the
misnomers relating to superstition. The need to do away with the caste system and
encourage lateral, vertical and diagonal in mingling of people to mesh them into a true India n
network. They can establish good rapport with the people so as to involve them in active
participation in social work which will help to make society a better place to live in.
9.
Further, the Government programmes such as Clean and Green are very good
opportunities for youth to join hands with their countrymen and give impetus in the process of
nation building.
10.
India has a National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Social Service (NSS), National
Service Volunteer Scheme (NSVS) and other similar organization, which are an asset to our
Nation. Apart from these measures to channelise young energy into constructive channels,
following few steps can be taken.
(a)
Films with social upliftment and nation building as theme would make a fair
contribution in instilling a healthy and progressive attitude in the youth. Non
Government Organisation (NGO) should also engage youth in such programmes
which strengthen nation building.
(b)
There should be integration committees, composed of representatives of
various communities at village, city, district, state and national level. Youth should
be engaged in such committees to contribute in society. Youth to
train themselves
effectively both in institutional and adventure activities, as such activities imbibe self
confidence, harmony and patriotism.
CONCLUSION
11.
Young men and women are the reservoirs of unbounded energy and enthusiasm.
Youth should accept all the challenges faced by the country. Let the youth be put to best
use. For this, their energies, skills and talents have to be properly harnessed, channelised
and put to right use for the common good of the country.

India has produced great leaders who have shaped the destiny of the nation. These
leaders have had a great impact on the people of the country and therefore immensely contribute
towards nation building. India attained independence in 1947 essentially because of the
charismatic leaders who spearheaded the freedom struggle. Post independence the Indian
leadership has ensured India to be amongst the best developing countries and is stacking its claim
to be the permanent member of United Nations. We will be discussing on a few very important
leaders, who made a tremendous impact both with in the country as well as in the international
arena.

PART I : PRE-INDEPENDENCE LEADERS

Bal Gangadhar Tilak

6.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak was born on 22 July 1856, in a middle class family
in Ratnagiri, a small coastal town in southwestern Maharashtra. His father,
Gangadhar Shastri, was a noted Sanskrit scholar and school teacher at
Ratnagiri. Tilak was a brilliant student and also very good in mathematics.

45
Since his childhood, Tilak had an intolerant attitude towards injustice and he was truthful and
traightforward in nature. After graduating from Deccan College, Pune in 1877, Tilak cleared the
L.L.B. from the Elphinston College, Mumbai. Later, he helped found a school that laid emphasis on
nationalism.
7.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a social reformer and freedom fighter. He was one of the prime
architects of modern India and strongest advocates of Swaraj (Self Rule). He was universally
recognized as the "Father of Indian Movement". Tilak was a brilliant politician as well as a
profound scholar who believed that independence is the foremost necessity for the well being of a
nation. During 1908-1914, Bal Gangadhar Tilak spent six years rigorous imprisonment in
Mandalay Jail, Burma. He was deported because of his alleged support to the Indian
revolutionaries, who had killed some British people. Following his growing fame and popularity, the
British government also tried to stop the publication of his newspapers.
8.
Tilak returned to India in 1915, when the political situation was fast changing under the
shadow of World War I. There was unprecedented jubilation in India after Tilak was free and back
in India. After seeing such a grand welcome, Tilak decided to re-unite with his fellow nationalists
and founded the All India Home Rule League in 1916 with Joseph Baptista, Annie Besant and
Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Gopal Krishna Gokhale
9.
Gopal Krishna Gokhale was born on 09 May1866, at Kothluk in
Ratnagiri District of Maharastra. Gokhale received his early education at
Rajaram High School in Kothapur and later in 1884, he moved to Bombay,
to receive higher education. Gokhale was one of the first Indians to
complete graduation. In 1884, after the completion of his graduation in arts
from Elphinstone College, Bombay, Gokhale joined as professor of history
and political economy at the Fergusson College, Poona. He remained on
the staff, and as principal of the college till 1902. Thereafter, he became
actively involved with the National Congress movement, as the joint
secretary for some years and in 1905, he became the president at the
Benares session. The higher education made Gokhale understand the importance of liberty,
democracy and parliamentary system of the government.
10.
In 1885-86, Gopal Krishna Gokhale met a great scholar and a social reformer named
Mahadev Govind Ranade. who helped Gokhale in establishing the "Servants of India Society" in
1905. The main objective of this society was to train Indians to raise their voices and serve their
country. Gokhale dedicated his life to the advancement of the nation's welfare. In 1905, Gokhale
was sent by the Congress on a special mission to England to spread India's constitutional
demands among the British leaders. Gokhale was instrumental in the formation of the MintoMorley Reforms of 1909, which was tabled and eventually transformed into law. Gokhale, during
his visit to South Africa in 1912, met Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as
Mahatma Gandhi. Gokhale made him aware of the issues confronting common people back in
India. In his autobiography, Gandhi calls Gokhale his "mentor and guide". Not only Gandhi,
Gokhale also guided Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Jinnah later aspired to
become the "Muslim Gokhale".
11.
Due to frequent travelling, excessive exertion and the resulting exhaustion aggravated his
diabetes and cardiac asthma. The end came peacefully, on 19 February 1915, when the great
leader passed away.
Lala Lajpat Rai
12.
Lala Lajpat Rai was born on 28 January 1865 at Dhudike village in Ferozpur District. His
father was a great scholar of Persian and Urdu while his mother was a strict religious lady and
inculcated in her children strong morals values. His family values allowed Lajpat Rai, the freedom
of having different faiths and beliefs. Lajpatrai received his elementary education in the school

46
where his father was posted as teacher. He joined the Government College
at Lahore in 1880 to study Law. While in college, he came in contact with
patriots and freedom fighters like Lala Hans Raj and Pandit Guru Dutt. He
studied law from Government College Lahore and thereafter, started his
legal practice in Hissar, Haryana. Since childhood he had a desire to serve
his country and therefore took a pledge to free it from foreign rule.
13.
In 1886, dut to his fathers transfer, the family shifted to Hissar,
where he practiced law. There, Lajpat Rai helped to establish the
nationalistic Dayanand Anglo-Vedic School and became a follower of
Dayanand Saraswati. In 1888 and 1889, he was a delegate to the annual sessions of the National
Congress. He moved to Lahore to practice before the High Court in 1892. In 1895, Rai helped
found the Punjab National Bank, demonstrating his concern for self-help and enterprise. In 1897,
he founded the Hindu Orphan Relief Movement to keep the Christian missions from securing
custody of these children. In the National Congress in 1900, he stressed the importance of
constructive, nation-building activity and programs for self-reliance. Gradually, Lajpat Rai had
curtailed his legal practice and was concentrating all his efforts to free the nation from British. In
October 1917, he founded the Indian Home Rule League of America in New York. In 1920, after
his return from America, Lajpat Rai was invited to preside over the special session of the Congress
in Calcutta, (now Kolkata). He plunged into the non-cooperation movement, which was being
launched in response to the Rowlatt Act, in principle. The movement was led by Lajpat Rai's in
Punjab and he soon came to be known as "Punjab Kesri" (The Lion of Punjab). Besides, a great
freedom fighter and leader, Lala Lajpat Rai was also a noted writer. The United States of America:
A Hindu's impressions and a study, History of the Arya Samaj, Swaraj and social change,
England's Debt to India: India, The Problems Of National Education In India were among the
books, he had written.
14.
On 30 October 1928, to boycott the arrival of the members of the Simon Commission in
Lahore, a peaceful procession, headed by Lajpat Rai was launched. Intercepting the march,
Superintendent of Police, Scott ordered his police force to 'lathi-charge' the activists. The police
targeted Lajpat Rai, in particular, and hit him on the chest. The confrontation left Lala Lajpat Rai
with severe injuries and also subsequently led to his death.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
15.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 02 October 1869, at
Porbandar, a small town on the western coast of India. His father,
Karamchand Gandhi, was a Dewan or Prime Minister of Porbandar. His
mother, Putlibai, was a very religious lady and left a deep impression on
Gandhiji's mind. Gandhiji was a mediocre student and was excessively shy
and timid. Gandhiji was truthful in his conduct right from the childhood. There
is a very famous incident in this regard. A British school inspector once came
to Gandhiji's school and set a spelling test. Gandhiji spelled all the words
correctly except kettle. The class teacher noticed the mistake and gestured
Gandhiji to copy the correct spelling from the boy sitting next to him. Gandhiji
refused to take the hint and was later scolded for his "stupidity".
16.
Gandhiji was married at the age of thirteen to Kasturbai. He was in high school at that time.
Later on in his life, Gandhiji denounced the custom of child marriage and termed it as cruel. After
matriculating from the high school, Gandhiji joined the Samaldas College in Bhavnagar. After the
death of Gandhiji's father in 1885, a family suggested that if Gandhiji hoped to take his father's
place in the state service, he had better become a barrister which he could do in England in three
years. Gandhiji sailed for England on 04 September 1888. Initially he had difficulty in adjusting to
English customs and weather but soon he overcame it. Gandhiji completed his Law degree in 1891
and returned to India. He decided to set up legal practice in Bombay but couldn't establish himself.
Gandhiji returned to Rajkot but here also he could not make much headway. At this time Gandhiji
received an offer from Dada Abdulla & Co. to proceed to South Africa on their behalf to instruct their
counsel in a lawsuit. Gandhiji jumped at the idea and sailed for South Africa in April 1893.

47
17.
It was in South Africa that Gandhiji's transformation from Mohandas to Mahatma took place.
Gandhiji landed at Durban and soon he realized the oppressive atmosphere of racial snobbishness
against Indians who were settled in South Africa in large numbers. After about a week's stay in
Durban Gandhiji left for Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal, in connection with a lawsuit. When the
train reached Pietermaritzburg, the capital of Natal, at about 9 p.m. a white passenger who boarded
the train objected to the presence of a "coloured" man in the compartment and Gandhiji was
ordered by a railway official to shift to a third class. When he refused to do so, a constable pushed
him out and his luggage was taken away by the railway authorities. It was winter and bitterly cold.
This incident changed Gandhiji's life forever. He decided to fight for the rights of Indians. Gandhiji
then organised the Indian community in South Africa and asked them to forget all distinctions of
religion and caste. He suggested the formation of an association to look after the Indian settlers and
offered his free time and services. During his stay in South Africa, Gandhiji's life underwent a
change and he developed most of his political ideas. Gandhiji decided to dedicate himself
completely to the service of humanity. He realized that absolute continence or brahmacharya was
indispensable for the purpose as one could not live both after the flesh and the spirit. In 1906,
Gandhiji took a vow of absolute continence. In the course of his struggle in South Africa, Gandhiji,
developed the concepts of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satyagraha (holding fast to truth or firmness
in a righteous cause). Gandhiji's struggle bore fruit and in 1914 in an agreement between Gandhiji
and South African Government, the main Indian demands were conceded.
18.
Gandhiji returned to India in 1915, and on the advice of his political guru Gopal Krishna
Gokhale, spent the first year touring throughout the country to know the real India. After a year of
wandering, Gandhiji settled down on the bank of the river Sabarmati, on the outskirts of
Ahmedabad, where he founded an ashram called Satyagraha Ashram. Gandhiji's first satyagraha in
India was in Champaran, in Bihar, where he went in 1917, at the request of a poor peasants to
inquire into the grievances of the much exploited peasants of that district, who were compelled by
British indigo planters to grow indigo on 15 percent of their land and part with the whole crop for
rent. Gandhiji's Satyagraha forced British government to set up a inquiry into the condition of tenant
farmers. The report of the committee of which Gandhi was a member went in favour of the tenant
farmers. The success of his first experiment in satyagraha in India greatly enhanced Gandhiji's
reputation in the country.
19.
In 1921, Gandhiji gave the call for Non-cooperation movement against the ills of British
rule. Gandhiji's call roused the sleeping nation. Many Indians renounced their titles and honours,
lawyers gave up their practice, and students left colleges and schools. Non-cooperation movement
also brought women into the domain of freedom struggle for the first time. Non-cooperation
movement severely jolted the British government. But the movement ended in an anti-climax in
February 1922. An outbreak of mob violence in Chauri Chaura so shocked and pained Gandhi that
he refused to continue the campaign and undertook a fast for five days to atone for a crime
committed by others in a state of mob hysteria. Gandhiji was sentenced to six years imprisonment
but was released in 1924, on medical grounds.
20.
On 12 March 1930 Gandhiji started the historic Dandi March to break the law which had
deprived the poor man of his right to make his own salt. On 6 April 1930, Gandhiji broke the Salt
law at the sea beach at Dandi. This simple act was immediately followed by a nation-wide defiance
of the law. This movement galvanized the whole nation and came to be known as "Civil
Disobedience Movement". Within a few weeks about a hundred thousand men and women were in
jail, throwing mighty machinery of the British Government out of gear. This forced the then Viceroy
Lord Irwin to call Gandhiji for talks. On 5 March 1931, Gandhi Irwin Pact was signed. Soon after
signing the pact Gandhiji went to England to attend the First Round Table Conference and after
his return from England Gandhiji was arrested without trial.
21.
After the outbreak of Second World War in 1939, Gandhiji again became active in the
political arena. British Government wanted India's help in the war and Congress in return wanted a
clear-cut promise of independence from British government. But British government dithered in its
response and on 8 August 1942, Gandhiji gave the call for Quit India Movement. Soon the British
Government arrested Gandhiji and other top leaders of Congress. Disorders broke out
immediately all over India and many violent demonstrations took place. Second World War ended

48
in 1945 and Britain emerged victorious. In the general elections held in Britain in 1945, Labour
Party came to power, and Atlee became the Prime Minister. He promised an early realization of
self Government in India. A Cabinet Mission arrived from England to discuss with Indian leaders
the future shape of a free and united India, but failed to bring the Congress and Muslims together.
India attained independence but Jinnah's intransigence resulted in the partition of the country.
Communal riots between Hindus and Muslims broke out in the country in the aftermath of partition.
Tales of atrocities on Hindus in Pakistan provoked Hindus in India and they targeted Muslims.
Gandhiji worked ceaselessly to promote unity between Hindus and Muslims. This angered some
Hindu fundamentalists and on 30 January 1948, Gandhiji was shot dead by one such
fundamentalist Nathu Ram Godse while he was going for his evening prayers. The last words on
the lips of Gandhiji were Hey Ram.
Vallabhbhai Patel
22.
Vallabhbhai Patel was born on 31 October 1875 in Gujarat to Zaveribhai and Ladbai
Vallabhbhai, His father had served in the army of the Queen of Jhansi, while
his mother was a very spiritual woman. 1910, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel went to
England to study law. He completed his law studies in 1913 and came back to
India and started his law practice. For his Excellences in Law, Vallabhbhai was
offered many lucrative posts by the British Government but he rejected all. He
was a staunch opponent of the British government and its laws and therefore
decided not to work for the British.
23.
In 1917, Sardar Vallabhbhai was elected as the Secretary of the Gujarat
Sabha. The next year, when there was a flood in Kaira, the British insisted on collecting tax from
the farmers. Sardar Vallabhbhai led a massive "No Tax campaign" that urged the farmers not to
pay their land. The peaceful movement forced the British authority to return then land taken away
from the farmers His effort to bring together the farmers of his area brought him the title of 'Sardar'
to his name. In 1928, the farmers of Bardoli faced a similar problem of "tax-hike". After prolonged
summons, when the farmers refused to pay the extra tax, the government in retaliation seized their
lands. In 1930 Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was imprisoned for participating in the famous Salt
Satyagraha called by Mahatma Gandhi. His inspiring speeches during the "Salt Movement"
transformed the lives of numerous people, who later played a major role in making the movement
successful.
24.
Sardar Patel was freed in 1931, following an agreement signed between Mahatma Gandhi
and Lord Irwin, the then Viceroy of India. The treaty was popularly known as the Gandhi-Irwin
pact. The same year, Patel was elected as the president of Indian National Congress Party for its
Karachi session. During the election for the Congress presidency in 1946, thirteen of the sixteen
states proposed Sardar Patel's name for the post. It was a very crucial election, as the elected
president of the congress party would be later considered as the first Prime Minister of
independent India. Just a few days, before the all important election, Mahatma Gandhi request
Sardar Patel to leave the candidacy and support Jawaharlal Nehru. Sardar Patel, without
pondering twice, stepped down. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's health declined in 1950. After suffering
a massive heart attack, on 15 December 1950, the great soul left the world.
Sarojini Naidu
25.
Sarojini Naidu was born on February 13, 1879 in Hyderabad. Her
father, Dr. Aghornath Chattopadhyaya was a scientist, philosopher, and
educator. He founded the Nizam College of Hyderabad. Her mother, Varada
Sundari Devi was a Bengali poetess. Dr. Aghornath Chattopadhyaya was the
first member of the Indian National Congress in Hyderabad. For his sociopolitical activities, Aghornath was dismissed from his position as Principal.
26.
Since childhood, Sarojini was a very bright and intelligent child.
Though Aghornath wanted his daughter to become a mathematician or
scientist, young Sarojini was fond of poetry. At an early age, she wrote a "thirteen-hundred-lines"

49
long poem "The Lady of the Lake". Impressed with her skills of expressing things with appropriate
words, Aghornath Chattopadhyaya encouraged her works. Few months later, Sarojini, with
assistance from her father, wrote the play "Maher Muneer" in the Persian language. Sarojini's
father Dr. Aghornath Chattopadhyaya distributed some copies of the play among his friends and
relatives. He also sent a copy to the Nizam of Hyderabad. Impressed with the works of the little
child, the Nizam granted her a scholarship to study overseas. At the age of 16, she got admission
in the King's College of England. There, she had the opportunity to meet prominent English
authors like Arthur Simon and Edmond Gausse. It was Gausse who asked Sarojini Naidu to write
on the Indian themes like great mountains, rivers, temples, social milieu etc. After returning to
India, at the age of 19, Sarojini Naidu married Muthyala Govindarajulu Naidu. He was a noted
doctor from South India. They were married by the Brahmo Marriage Act (1872), in Madras in
1898. The marriage took place at a time when inter-caste marriages were not allowed and
tolerated in the Indian society. Her marriage was a very happy one. They had four children.
27.
Sarojini Naidu was moved by the partition of Bengal in 1905 and decided to join the Indian
freedom struggle. She met regularly with Gopal Krishna Gokhale, who later introduced her to the
stalwarts of the Indian freedom movement. She met Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,
C. P. Ramaswami Iyer and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. With such an encouraging environment,
Sarojini later moved on to become leader of the Indian National Congress Party. She traveled
extensively to the United States of America and many European countries as the flag-bearer of the
Indian Nationalist struggle. During 1915, Sarojini Naidu traveled all over India and delivered
speeches on welfare of youth, dignity of labor, women's emancipation and nationalism. In 1916,
she took up the cause of the indigo workers of Champaran in the western district of Bihar. In
March 1919, the British government passed the Rowlatt Act by which the possession of seditious
documents was deemed illegal. Mahatma Gandhi organized the Non-Cooperation Movement to
protest and Naidu was the first to join the movement. Besides, Sarojini Naidu also actively
campaigned for the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms, the Khilafat issue, the Sabarmati Pact, the
Satyagraha Pledge and the Civil Disobedience Movement.
28.
In 1919, she went to England as a member of the all-India Home Rule Deputation. In
January 1924, she was one of the two delegates of the Indian National Congress Party to attend
the East African Indian Congress. In 1925, she was elected as the President of the Indian National
Congress Party. Sarojini Naidu was the first woman Governor of Uttar Pradesh. Her chairmanship
of the Asian Relations Conference in 1947 was highly-appraised. Two years later, on 02 March
1949, Sarojini Naidu died at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
29.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was born on 11 November 1888 in Mecca,
Islam's main center of pilgrimage. His forefather's came to India during the
reign of Mughal Emperor Babar, from Heart, Afghanistan. Azads were the
descendent of eminent Ulama or scholars of Islam religion. His mother was
the daughter of a rich Arabian Sheikh and his father, Maulana Khairuddin,
was a Bengali Muslim of Afghan origins. Khairuddin left India during the 1857
Sepoy Mutiny (Indian rebellion of 1857) and settled in Mecca, where he met
his wife. In 1890, He, along with family, returned to Calcutta (now Kolkata).
30.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was a renowned journalist of his time.
Disturbed by his provocative articles, the British Government decided to
deport him off Calcutta. Despite of his house-arrest and imprisonment, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
continued to write against the anti-people policies of the British Government. He was elected as
Congress President in 1923 and 1940. Despite being a Muslim, Azad often stood against the
policies of the prominent Muslims leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Azad was the first education
minister of independent India. On 22 February 1958 Maulana Abul Kalam Azad passed away.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was posthumously awarded, Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian
honor, in 1992.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
31.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was born on 23 January, 1897 in Cuttack
(Orissa). Subhash was the ninth child among eight brothers and six sisters. His
father, Janakinath Bose, was an affluent and successful lawyer in Cuttack and
received the title of "Rai Bahadur". He, later became a member of the Bengal
Legislative Council. Subhash Chandra Bose was a very intelligent and sincere
student but never had much interest in sports. He passed his B.A. in Philosophy
from the Presidency College in Calcutta. After reading so many incidents about the
exploitation of the fellow Indians by the British, Subhash decided to take revenge.
In 1916, Subhash reportedly beat and thrashed one of his British teachers E F
Otten when the professor made a racist remark against the Indian students. As a
result, Bose was expelled from the Presidency College The incident brought Subhash in the list of
rebel-Indians. In December 1921, Bose was arrested and imprisoned for organizing a boycott of the
celebrations to mark the Prince of Wales's visit to India.
32.
His father wanted him to become a civil servant and therefore, sent him to England to appear
for the Indian Civil Service Examination. Bose was placed fourth with highest marks in English. But his
urge for participating in the freedom movement was so intense that, in April 1921, Bose resigned from
the coveted Indian Civil Service and came back to India. Soon, he left home to become an active
member of India's independence movement. He, later joined the Indian National Congress, and also
elected as the president of the party. During the Second World War in September, 1939, Subhash
Chandra Bose decided to initiate a mass movement. He started uniting people from all over the
country. There was a tremendous response to his call and the British promptly imprisoned him.
33.
In jail, he refused to accept food for around two weeks. When his health condition deteriorated,
fearing violent reactions across the country, the authority put him under house-arrest. During his
house-arrest, in January, 1941, Subhash made a planned escape. He first went to Gomoh in Bihar and
from there he went on to Peshawar (now, Pakistan). He finally reached Germany and met Hitler. Bose
had been living together with his wife Emilie Schenkl in Berlin. In 1943, Bose left for south-east Asia
and raised an army called as the Indian National Army (INA) with a view to free India from the British.
Although it was believed that Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose died in a plane crash, his body was never
recovered.

Chandrasekhar Azad
34.
Chandrasekhar Azad was born on 23 July 1906 in Badarka
(Unnao). His original name was Chandrasekhar Tiwari. He received his
early schooling in Bhavra District in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. For higher
studies he went to the Sanskrit Pathashala at Varanasi. Chandrashekhar
was deeply troubled by the Jalianwala bagh massacre in Amritsar in
1919. Azad, at an age of 15, got involved in the revolutionary activities.
He was caught by the British police while participating in the noncooperation movement and sentenced to whiplashes as punishment.
When the magistrate asked him his name, he said "Azad"
(independence). From that point onwards, Chandrashekhar assumed the
title of Azad and came to be known as Chandrashekhar Azad.
35.
Following the Chauri-Chaura incident, in which police stations were vandalized and burnt
by the activists, Mahatma Gandhi called for the suspension of the non-cooperation movement.
Azad, along with Bhagat Singh distanced themselves from the paths of Gandhi. They were more
attracted by the aggressive and violent revolutionary ideals and means. Towards this end, they
formed the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association and trained the revolutionaries like Bhagat
Singh, Sukhdev, Batukeshwar Dutt, and Rajguru. Azad was instrumental in carrying out numerous
acts of violence. This includes the Kakori Train Robbery in 1926, assassination of John Poyantz
Saunders in 1928 at Lahore to avenge the killing of Lala Lajpat Rai. How important his role was in
the freedom struggle of India can be understood by the fact that the British police badly wanted to
nab him dead or alive. On February 27, 1931 Chandrashekhar Azad while meeting with friends at
Alfred Park, Allahabad, and the police surrounded the park and asked Chandrashekhar Azad to

51
surrender. Azad fought alone and valiantly and killed three policemen but after nearly exhausting
his ammunition and foreseeing no means of escape, he shot himself in the head with his last
bullet. He was reportedly betrayed by an informer.
Bhagat Singh
37.
Bhagat Singh was born on 27 September 1907 at Banga in Lyallpur
district (now Pakistan). From his early childhood, Bhagat Singh was imbued
with the family's spirit of patriotism. At the time of his birth, his father Kishan
Singh was in jail. His uncle, Sardar Ajit Singh, was a great freedom fighter
and established the Indian Patriots' Association.
38.
On 30 October 1928, an all-parties procession, led by Lala Lajpat
Rai, marched towards the Lahore railway station to protest against the arrival
of the Simon Commission. Stopping the procession, police made a lathi
charge at the activists. The confrontation left Lala Lajpat Rai with severe
injuries and also later led to his death. As a revenge to the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh
and his associates plotted the assassination of Scott, the Superintendent of Police, believed to
have ordered the lathi charge. The revolutionaries, mistaking J.P. Saunders, an Assistant
Superintendent of Police, as Scott, killed him instead. Bhagat Singh quickly left Lahore to escape
his arrest. To avoid recognition, he shaved his beard and cut his hair, a violation of the sacred
tenets of Sikhism.
39.
On April 8 1929 Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw a bomb onto the corridors of
the assembly and shouted 'Inquilab Zindabad!' The bomb was not meant to kill or injure anyone
and therefore it was thrown away from the crowded place. Following the blasts both Bhagat Singh
and Batukeshwar Dutt courted arrest. The British authority, while interrogating them, came to know
about their involvement in the murder of J. P. Saunders. Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev
were charged with the murder. Singh admitted to the murder and made statements against the
British rule during the trial. Bhagat Singh along with other revolutionaries found responsible for the
Assembly bombing and murder of Saunders. On 23 March 1931, Bhagat Singh was hanged in
Lahore with his fellow comrades Rajguru and Sukhdev. Bhagat Singh was cremated at
Hussainiwala near Ferozepur, on banks of Sutlej river.
PART II : POST- INDEPENDENCE LEADERS
Dr. Rajendra Prasad
40.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad was born 3 Dec 1884, into a big joint family of
Mahadev Sahay in the Siwan district of Bihar, near Chhapra. His father,
Mahadev Sahay was a scholar of Persian and Sanskrit language while his
mother Kamleshwari Devi was a religious lady. Since childhood, Rajendra
Prasad was a brilliant student. In 1902, Rajendra Prasad joined the
Presidency College. He was initially a student of science and his teachers
included J.C.Bose and Prafulla Chandra Roy. Later, he decided to switch his
focus to the arts. Prasad lived with his brother in the Eden Hindu Hostel. A
plaque still commemorates his stay in that room. Dr. Rajendra Prasad was
instrumental in the formation of the Bihari Students' Conference in 1908. It
was the first organization of its kind in the whole of India. The move produced the entire political
leadership of the twenties in Bihar.
41.
In 1915, Rajendra Prasad passed with a Gold medal in Masters in Law examination with
honors. He then went on to complete his Doctorate in Law. Rajendra Prasad used to practice his
Law & studies at Bhagalpur in Bihar and eventually emerged as a popular and eminent figure of
the entire region. In 1916, Rajendra Prasad joined the High Court of Bihar and Orissa. Such was
his intellect and his integrity, that often when his adversary failed to cite a precedent, the judges
asked Rajendra Prasad to cite a precedent against himself. in 1911, during his stay in Calcutta
(now Kolkata) as a legal practitioner, Rajendra Prasad joined the Indian National Congress Party

52
and was subsequently elected to the AICC. Nationalist India expressed its admiration by electing
Rajendra Prasad as the President of the Bombay session of the Indian National Congress Party in
October 1934.
42.
In July 1946, when the Constituent Assembly was established to frame the Constitution of
India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected its President. And, eventually he was also elected as the
first President of Republic of India. Rajendra Prasad spent the last few months of his life in
retirement at the Sadaqat Ashram in Patna and after suffering from brief illness for around six
months, Dr. Prasad expired on 28 February, 1963. Rajendra Prasad was awarded with "Bharat
Ratna", the nation's highest civilian award.
Jawaharlal Nehru
43.
Jawaharlal Nehru was born on 14 November 1889, to a wealthy
Kashmiri Brahmin family in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. His father Motilal Nehru
was a renowned advocate and also an influential politician. For higher
education, young Nehru was sent to Harrow school and then later to
Cambridge University in England. After spending two years at the Inner
Temple, London, he qualified as a barrister. During his stay in London, Nehru
was attracted by the ideas of liberalism, socialism and nationalism. In 1912,
he had returned to India and joined the Allahabad High Court Bar.In 1916,
Nehru participated in the Lucknow Session of the Congress. There, after a
very long time, member of both the extremist and moderate factions of the
Congress party had come. All the members equivocally agreed to the demand for "swaraj" (self
rule). Although the means of the two sections were different, the motive was "common" - freedom.
44.
In 1921 Nehru was imprisoned for participating in the first civil disobedience campaign as
general secretary of the United Provinces Congress Committee. The life in the jail helped him in
understanding the philosophy followed by Gandhi and others associated with the movement. He
was moved by Gandhi's approach of dealing with caste and "untouchablity". With the passing of
every minute, Nehru was emerging as a popular leader, particularly in Northern India. In 1922,
some of the prominent members including his father Motilal Nehru had left the congress and
launched the "Swaraj Party". The decision, no doubt upset Jawahar but he rejected the possibility
of leaving the Congress party. He was also elected as the president of the Allahabad municipal
corporation in 1920. In 1930 Mahatma Gandhi advocated Nehru as the next president of the
Congress. The decision was also an attempt to abate the intensity of "communism" in the
Congress. The same year, Nehru was arrested for the violation of the Salt Law.
45.
In 1936, Nehru was re-elected as the president of the Indian National Congress. Sources
suggest that a heated argument between the classical and young leaders had taken place in the
Lucknow Session of the party. The young and "new-gen" leaders of the party had advocated for an
ideology, based on the concepts of Socialism. On 15 August, 1947, the congress succeeded to
overthrow the influential British Empire. Nehru was recognized as the first Prime Minister of
independent India. He was the first PM to hoist the national flag and make a speech from the
ramparts of Lal Quila (Red Fort). The time had come to implement his ideas and construct a
healthy nation. In 1951, Jawaharlal Nehru launched the country's "First Five-Year Plan"
emphasizing on the increase in the agricultural output. Jawaharlal Nehru was supporter of the antiimperialist policy. He extended his support for the liberation of small and colonized nations of the
world. He was also one of the prominent architects of the Non-Aligment Movement. Following the
policies of NAM, India decided stay away from being a part of the global bifurcation.
Lal Bahadur Shastri
46.
Lal Bahadur Shastri was born on 02 October 1904, in Moghalsarai, (Uttar Pradesh). He
shares his birthday with Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation. Lal Bahadur was against the
prevailing caste system and therefore decided to drop his surname. The title "Shastri" was given
after the completion of his graduation at Kashi Vidyapeeth, Varanasi in 1925. His father Sharada
Prasad, a schoolteacher by profession, passed away when Lal Bahadur was barely two years old.

53
His mother Ramdulari Devi took him and his two sisters to their maternal
grandfather Hazari Lal's house. Lal Bahadur acquired virtues like boldness,
love of adventure, patience, self-control, courtesy, and selflessness in his
childhood. After completing his primary education at Mirzapur, Lal Bahadur
was sent to Varanasi, where he stayed with his maternal uncle. Young Lal
Bahadur, inspired with the stories and speeches of national leaders,
developed a desire to participate in the Indian nationalist movement. He
would also spend time by reading foreign authors like Marx, Russell and
Lenin. In 1915, a speech of Mahatma Gandhi changed the course of his life
and decided to jump into the fire of Indian freedom struggle.
47.
In 1930, Lal Bahadur Shastri became the secretary of the Congress party and later the
president of the Allahabad Congress Committee. He played a crucial role during the "Salt
Movement". Lal Bahadur lead a door-to-door campaign, urging people not to pay land revenue
and taxes to the British authority. The leader was also sent to jail for the campaign. During the long
span of nine years he spent in jails, Lal Bahadur utilized the time in reading the social reformers
and western philosophers. He was one of the leading and prominent faces that continued the Quit
India movement, called by Mahatma Gandhi. Lal Bahadur, in 1937, was elected to the UP
Legislative Assembly.Lal Bahadur Shastri had served in various positions before being elected as
the Prime Minister. He was a responsible man and known for his ethics and morality. Nehru, had
once said, "No one could wish for a better comrade than Lal Bahadur, a man of the highest
integrity and devoted to ideas".
48.
Jawaharlal Nehru was succeeded as Prime Minister by a mild-mannered and soft-spoken
Lal Bahadur Shastri on 9 June, 1964. He was a follower of Nehruvian socialism. Lal Bahadur
Shastri, who had earlier suffered two heart attacks, died of the third cardiac arrest on 11 January,
1966. He is the only Indian Prime Minister, to have died in office, overseas. Lal Bahadur Shastri
was the first person to be posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, (India's highest civilian
award).
Indira 'Priyadarshini' Gandhi
49.
Indira 'Priyadarshini' Gandhi was born on 19 November, 1917, in
Allahabad to Kamala and Jawaharlal Nehru. Indira's father was a welleducated lawyer and an active member of the Indian Independence
Movement. Since the Nehru family was the centre of national political activity,
Indira Gandhi was exposed to politics when she was a little child. A leader like
Mahatma Gandhi was among the frequent visitors of the Nehru house in
Allahabad. She passed her Metric from Pune University and went to
Shantiniketan in West Bengal. Here, the students were made to lead a very
strict and disciplined life. She later went on to study in Switzerland and Oxford
University in London. Indira, then stayed few months in Switzerland with her
ailing mother. In 1936, after Kamala Nehru finally succumbed to tuberculosis, she returned to
India. At the time of Kamala's death, Jawaharlal Nehru, was languishing in the Indian jails.
50.
After her fathers return to the country, Indira showed an active participation in the national
movement. She also became a member of the Indian National Congress. Here, she met Feroze
Gandhi, a journalist and key member of the Youth Congress - the youth wing of the Congress
Party. In 1941, despite his father's objections, she married Feroze Gandhi. In 1944, Indira gave
birth to Rajiv Gandhi and two years later she gave birth to Sanjay Gandhi. After the independence,
Indira Gandhi's father Jawaharlal Nehru, became the first Prime Minister of India. Indira Gandhi
decided to shift to Delhi to assist his father. Her two sons remained with her but, Feroze decided to
stay back in Allahabad. He was working as an editor of The National Herald newspaper founded
by Motilal Nehru.
51.
During the 1951-52 Parliamentary Elections, Indira Gandhi handled the campaigns of her
husband, Feroze, who was contesting from Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh. After being elected as MP,
Feroze opted to live in a separate house in Delhi. In 1959, Indira Gandhi was elected as the

54
President of the Indian National Congress Party. She was one of the political advisors of
Jawaharlal Nehru. After the death of Jawaharlal Nehru on 27 May 1964, Indira Gandhi decided to
contest elections and eventually elected. She was appointed as the in-charge of the Information
and Broadcasting Ministry under Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. Following the death of Lal
Bahadur Shastri on 11 January 1966, in Tashkent, the race to the coveted throne of Prime Minister
began. The party faced a serious trouble, as, all the senior leaders of the Congress party desired
to contest. Unable to reach at a consensus, the high-command picked Indira as their contender.
The virtual reason behind Indira's selection was the thought that "Indira would, indirectly be run by
the top leadership." But Indira Gandhi, showing extraordinary political skills elbowed the Congress
stalwarts out of power.
52.
In 1971, in order to stop the Bangladeshi refugees from flowing in into the country, Indira
Gandhi supported the East Pakistan's struggle for freedom against West Pakistan. India provided
logistical support and also sent troops to fight against West Pakistan. India's triumph in the war of
1971 against Pakistan enhanced the popularity of Indira Gandhi as a shrewd political leader. In
1975, the Opposition parties and social activists staged regular demonstrations against the Indira
Gandhi-led Central government over rising inflation, the poor state of economy and unchecked
corruption. The same year, a ruling of Allahabad High Court that Indira Gandhi had used illegal
practices during the last election helped in adding fuel to the existing political fire. The verdict
ordered her to vacate her seat, immediately. The agitation and anger of the people intensified.
Realizing the consequences, on 26 June, 1975, Indira Gandhi declared "an emergency, due to the
turbulent political situation in the country". On 31 October 1984, Indira Gandhi's bodyguards
Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, as a revenge of the Golden Temple assault, assassinated the
Prime Minister at her Safdarjung Road residence.
CONCLUSION
53.
The study of the lives and biography of our national leaders is very important and inspiring
for all of us because, we can learn and imbibe some of the leadership qualities of these great
leaders. Besides we must also not forget the great sacrifices they have made in getting us freedom
from the British.

6.
Firing ke dauran yeh janna zaruri hai ki jab hum kabhi bhi ek se jada goli fire karten hai, jin
ki sisht, ammunition, weapon ya firing conditions sman hain, to sabhi goli target pe ek hi jagah
nahi lagen gi. Is men ek pattern banta hai, aur is ke kai karan ho sakte hain. Ek group banane ke
liye, panch goli jo ki ek sath aur ek hi aming point par fire ki hon, ko liya jata hai. In panch goliyon
ke group ke Kendra Bindu (central point) ko group ka Mean Point of Impact (MPI) kahte hain.

124
Grouping Capacity
7.
Kisi bhi firer duwara fire ki gayi panch golion ke circle ke diare (diameter) ko us firer ki
Grouping Capacity kahate hain. Coaching ya scoring ke hisab se firers ko unki Grouping Capacity
ke mutabik classify kiya jata hai, jaise 2 inch, 4 inch etc. Yeh grouping, 100 m ya 25 m pe napi jati
hai.
8.
Yeh jan lena chahiye ki, ek firer ki Grouping Capacity ka anuman tabhi sahi lage ga jab,
usne har goli sahi sisht le ke fire ki ho. Agar kisi firer se, galti se, bagair durust sisht ke, koi goli fire
ho jati hai to, us goli ko Grouping Capacity ke liye nzarandaz kar dena chahiye.
9.
Grouping ki ahmiyat, hatiyar ki zeroing ke liye bahut hi zaruri hai. Agar koi firer, ek hi point
of aim (POA) ko lekar, panch goli fire karta hai, aur uska MPI, point of aim se hat kar hai, to is ka
matlab us weapon ko zero karna zaruri hai. Zeroing ke liye, foresight ya back sight, men kuch
tabdili ki jati hai taki, MPI aur POA ke bich ka fasla bilkul kam ho.
10.
Ek bar ksi firer ki grouping hojati hai to, uske baad, us firer ki zemewari hai ki who, samay
samay par apni grouping ko barkar rakhe aur, ho sake to us men aur bhi improvement laye.
BHAG II : MINIATURE RANGE SNAP SHOOTING
11.
Grouping aur Zeroing ke baad Snap Shooting fire karna chahiye. Snap shooting men target
bahut hi thode samay ke liye nazar ata hai. Is ke liye yeh janna zaruri hai ki fire karne ke liye
samay kafi hai agar, firer ko apne upar pura bharosa hai.
12.

Snap shooting ke liye sikhlai is prakar se hoti hai :(a)

Stage-1 Automatic Alignment. Is men squad, semi circle men lying position men
hota hai aur, instructor centre men hota hai aur, aiming mark instructor ki ankh hoti hai.
Aiming alignment ko aiming disc ki madad se check karne ke liye, individually, instructor
up ka word of command deta hai to us pe firer instructorki ankh pe nishana lagaten hain.
(b)
Stage-2 Automatic Alignment with Correct Hold and Trigger Operation. Is
stage men up ke command pe firer, rifle ko upar lata hai, sahi sisht leta hai, mazboot
pakarta hai aur fire karta hai. Fir weapon ko dobara load karta hai aur dobara practice karta
hai. Is men accuracy pr jada jor hai na ki speed pe.
(c)
Stage 3,4 & 5. Is stage men snap shooting practice firing, targets pe alag alag
ranges pe ki jati hai. Is ke liye per goli 7 sec ka samayhota hai.

13.
Short range pe representative miniature targets ka istemal hota hai aur, samay ko me 7 se
4 seconds kar diya jata hai. Ek din men do se jada practice nahi karni chahiye.
14.
Continuous Snap Shooting. Is men jaise jaise target dikhta hai, wise hi us pe fire kiya
jata hai. Buniyadi usul yeh hai ki Ek Goli Ek Dushmsn/Target aur Shoot to Kill.

Ek ache firer ke liye durust grouping aur zeroing karna bahut hi zaruri hai. Is se target pe
durust firing ki ja sakti hai. Snap shooting ke liye durust zeroing ke alawa, durust sisht aur trigger
operation ki zarurat hai. Hamesha ek goli ek dushman ka buniyadi usul yaad rakhe.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Civil Defence was first established in India on 24th October 1941. Two significant events
took place after independence which gave a major fillip to Civil Defence in India. The first was the
Chinese aggression in November, 1962 and the other was the Indo-Pakistan conflict in September
1965, when, for the first time after Independence, the nation was subjected to enemy air attacks.
This led to considerable rethinking about the policy and scope of Civil Defence and as a result the
Civil Defence policy, as it exists today, was evolved.
4.
Disasters disrupt progress and destroy the hard-earned fruits of painstaking developmental
efforts, often pushing nations, in quest for progress, back by several decades.Thus,efficient
management of disasters has, in recent times, received increased attention both, within India and
abroad.
AIM
5.
To acquaint the NCC Cadets about the Civil Defence Organisations and National Disaster
ManagementAuthority (NDMA).

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Civil Defence Organisation and their Duties.

(b)

Part II

National Disaster Management Authority.

128
PART I : CIVIL DEFENCE ORGANISATIONS
General
7.
The Civil Defence Act of India was enacted by Parliament on May 1968. Today, Civil
Defence includes any measures, not amounting to actual combat, for affording protection to any
person, property, place or thing in India or any part of the territory thereof, against any hostile
attack, whether from air, land, sea or other places, or for depriving any such attack of the whole or
part of its effect.
8.
Civil Defence is a much misunderstood subject because, it is often confused with the air
raid precautions taken during the war. There are many other measures necessary to deal with
effects of direct and indirect raids and such measures cannot be disassociated from the Civil
Defence measures. Civil Defence measures mainly consist of the following:(a)
Protective Preventive Measures. Measures which may be taken before an air
raid, such as dispersal of population and industries, camouflage, preparation of shelter,
warning and training etc.
(b)
Control Measures. Measures taken immediately after the raid, such as
reconnaissance, reporting of damage and unexploded bombs, rescue of casualties, control
of services, clearance of debris and extinguishing of fires.
(c)
Restorative Measures. The measures which become necessary after an air raid
include feeding, providing shelter and clothing, salvage of property, disposal of dead,
disposal of unexploded bombs, control of infection and contamination, repair of damages
caused to utility services etc.
Civil Defence Organisations
9.
Civil Defence is primarily organised on voluntary basis except for a small nucleus of paid
staff and establishment which is augmented during emergencies. The present target of Civil
Defence volunteers is 12.49 lakhs, out of which 6.0 lakhs have already been raised and 4.8 lakhs
have been trained. These volunteers are administered and trained by 68 Deputy Controllers, 17
Medical Officers and 503 Civil Defence Instructors, which are full time paid posts.
10.
National Level. At the national level, the Home Ministry is responsible for the Civil
Defence. It has under its direct control, the Directorate of Civil Defence, headed by a Director
General - usually a senior police officer, who is responsible to advise the Home Ministry on all
matters relating to Civil Defence. The Civil Defence organization basically comprises of the Home
Guards, NCC and the Fire-Fighting Units. Most of the central ministries have a civil defence cell
which gets activated during emergency and is responsible for rendering specialist advise
pertaining to their respective ministries to the Home Ministry. In addition, The Ministries of Defence
and Railways are responsible for civil defence on properties owned or managed by them.
11.

The Civil Defence Corps has the following 12 services in which volunteers are trained:(a)

Headquarters Service. This service works under control of Civil Defence.

(b)
Wardens Service. It is a link between the public and the authorities. This service
is responsible for organizing self-help parties, fire parties and to check light restrictions,
report damages and guide homeless to the Rest Centres.
(c)

Fire Fighting Service. They detect small fires and put out the same.

(d)

Casualty Services. The functions of this service are:(i)

Rendering first aid on the spot.

129

(e)

(ii)

Providing transport to casualties for short distances.

(iii)

To send various causalities for further treatment.

Communication Services. This service is responsible for:(i)

Receipt and dissemination of air raid warning.

(ii)

Provision of co-ordination and control facilities.

(iii)
Provision of communication between warden posts, control centres through
messengers or telephone etc.
(f)

etc. to provide shelter, food and clothing and to arrange evacuation from vulnerable areas.
(h)
Depot and Transport Services.
It is this service which is responsible to send
various services to the scene of the incident and provide the necessary transport required
from time to time.
(j)
Salvage Service. It is responsible to salvage the damaged property and keep it in
safe custody.
(k)
Corpse Disposal Service. This service is responsible for collection, identification
and disposal of dead bodies.
(l)

necessary equipment for Civil Defence Services and its proper storage and quick
distribution of equipment at the time of need.
(m)
Besides the above noted services, the Civil Defence organisation will be required to
set up Repair and Demolition Parties and make arrangements for the care of animals
through appropriate existing agencies operating in the town.
12.
State Level Organisation. Each State and Union Territory government has, under the
overall control of its Inspector General of Police, a Director General of Home Guards and Civil
Defence. As in the case of the central government, he is a senior police officer and is responsible
for controlling fire departments as well.
13.
District Level Organisation. In a district, the District Magistrate is the ultimate authority on
Civil Defence. He is designated as the Controller of Civil Defence. He is responsible for
implementation of all Civil Defence measures by the district departmental heads such as Civil
Surgeon, Superintendent of Police, PWD Engineer, Publicity Officers etc. They are appointed by
him as in-charge of various Civil Defence Services. He also constitutes an Advisory Committee out
of the people possessing qualities of leadership and discipline who can arouse and sustain public
interest in the Civil Defence Services.
PART II : NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (NDMA)
General
14.
India is vulnerable, in varying degrees, toa large number of natural as well as man-made
disasters. 58.6 per cent of the Indian landmass is prone to earthquakes of moderate to very high
intensity. Over 40 million hectares of land (12 per cent of total land) isprone to floods and river
erosion.Of the 7,516km long coastline, close to 5,700 km is prone to cyclones and tsunamis. 68

130
percent of the cultivable area is vulnerable to drought. Hilly areas are atrisk from landslides and
avalanches. India also has had a history of natural disasters in recent years.Thus the importance
of Disaster Management in India.
15.
On 23 December 2005, the Governmentof India took a defining step by enacting the
Disaster Management Act of India, which envisaged thecreation of the National Disaster
ManagementAuthority (NDMA), headed by the Prime Minister.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Since the dawn of civilization, human society, natural environment and disasters have been
closely interlinked. Natural disasters and the increasing environment degradation world-wide are
serious threats to development. Natural disasters threaten all three dimensions of development to
include economic, social and environmental. In the past twenty years, earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, landslide, floods, tropical storms, droughts and other natural calamities have killed over
three million people, inflicted injury, disease, homelessness and misery on one billion others, and
caused billions of dollars of material damage. 90 percent of the natural disasters and 95 percent of
the total disaster-related deaths world-wide, occur in the developing countries.
4.
The term disaster is commonly used to denote any odd event natural or man made which
brings about immense misery to a region and it becomes difficult to cope with the situation through
local resources.

biodiversity, global warming, sea level rise, toxic wastes and nuclear accidents.
(viii)

Warfare. Conventional, chemical, biological or nuclear.

PART II : TYPES OF NATURAL DISASTERS

8.
Volcanoes. The word volcano comes from the Latin word Vulcan, the Roman god of
fire. Volcanoes erupt when the lower levels of the earths crust push up on hot magma causing the
volcano to burst through the top layer of the earth. When a volcano erupts, magma, ashes, and
other gases are released and pushed upward from beneath the earths surface. The melted molten
rock is called lava when above the surface, and is referred to as magma when below the surface.
When a volcano erupts, the molten rock that is spewed from the volcano builds up and begins to
form a mountain-like structure. Because the molten lava is so hot, sometimes reaching over 2,000
degrees Fahrenheit, anything that it comes in contact with it can burn or melt. The volcano can
spew lava, dust, ashes, and deadly gases. After the molten lava cools down, it hardens and turns
into hard molten rock. The ash that is sent from the top of the volcano can be carried hundreds of
miles by the wind.Volcanoes can be both, active or dormant volcanoes and can be found both, on
land or under the sea.
9.
Landslides. Landslides are mostly caused by movement in the ground and the force of
gravity pulling down on all earthly objects. Landslides can also be caused by heavy rain,
earthquakes, and even some man-made causes such as road work. Landslides usually consist of
falling rocks and sliding earth in addition to failure in the Earths surface. Landslides often occur in
conjunction with other natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other faults
in the earth. Effects of landslides include collapsing buildings, collapsing roads and even
sometimes causing death.
10.
Earthquakes. Earthquakes are one of the many powerful natural disasters caused when
there is a shift, collision, or sudden release of energy in the Earths crust. Sometimes called
tremors and temblors, earthquakes usually occur on the boundaries of, or near, the lines where
the Earths tectonic plates collide and slide past each other. This is called a fault line. Changes in

135
the Earths surface usually result in earthquakes. Earthquakes consist of shaking and
displacement of the ground. Depending on the intensity of the earthquakes, they can cause
buildings to collapse, which sometimes results in fatalities. The Richter Magnitude Scale is used to
classify and measure the magnitude of earthquakes. The Richter Scale was invented by Charles
F. Richter in 1935, and it has a scale from 1-9.

Earthquake Zone : India

Wind & Cyclone Zone : India

11.
Tsunamis. Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbor wave. Tsunamis usually take
place in the ocean, but can also occur in large lakes. Caused by an underwater earthquake,
volcano, landslide, or other type of explosion, tsunamis are giant waves that can destroy entire
cities. Tsunamis can range anywhere from a few inches to several yards high. Some large
tsunamis have been as tall as 100 feet while some have been less than 20 feet tall and still caused
extensive damage. These great walls of water can gain speed as they approach the shore,
sometimes up to 500 miles per hour. Tsunamis have tremendous destructive power and can
destroy hundreds of lives and homes each year.
12.
Hurricanes.
Sometimes called Tropical Cyclones, Typhoons, or Willy-Willies.
Hurricanes can rip up trees, destroy crops, and flatten buildings. Torrential rain causes flooding
and coastal regions may be swamped by huge waves whipped up by winds that blow as fast
as 300 km/h (185 mp). Hurricanes start to form when the Suns heat stirs up moist air over the
oceans, where the temperature at the centre of the storm, called the eye, can be more than
300 km (185 miles) across and the winds only gale force. But as the eye narrows to about
50 km (30 miles) across, the winds begin to swirl around it at hurricane force. Cyclones pose
a major threat to lives and property in many parts of the world.
13.
Floods.
It can arise from abnormally heavy precipitation, dam failures, rapid snow
melting, river blockages or even burst water mains. It is usually sudden in onset. Types of floods
can further be classified into Inland and Coastal floods. Major floods result in physical damage,
deaths and injuries, problems in drinking water supply and food shortages and displacement of
population.
14.
Droughts. If, over about two weeks, there is less than 0.2 mm (1/100in) of precipitation,
there is said to be a drought. Without reservoirs, there is not enough water for people and
crops.
Some places have extreme drought which lasts for many Terms. Droughts have
disastrous and long term impact on the economy and can affect a large segment of the society
which may last for months and in some cases several Terms. Generally, drought situation may be
defined as a temporary reduction in water or moisture availability significantly below the normal or
expected amount for a specific period. Drought is a slow onset phenomenon.

136
CONCLUSION
15.
Natural disasters and the increasing environment degradation world-wide are serious
threats to development. Natural disasters threaten all three dimensions of development to include
economic, social and environmental. Natural calamities have killed over three million people,
inflicted injury, disease, homelessness and misery on one billion others. It is therefore important
for all of us to be fully aware of the various types of Natural Disasters and take measures to
minimize losses of all types.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Fire is a major cause for destruction of property / lives these days. Due to increase in the
standard of living, electrical goods, air conditioners and cooking gas are found in most of the
houses. Also, due to the influx of multinational companies, most offices, shopping malls and
hospitals have air conditioners. With the influx of these electrical gadgets and cooking gas,
occurrences of fire incidents have increased manifold, especially during winters and summers. It is
therefore essential that everyone should be aware of how to prevent fire hazards or to provide
assistance in firefighting.
AIM
4.

To acquaint the NCC Cadets about the Fire Services and Fire Fighting.
PREVIEW

5.

The lecture will be conducted in following parts :(a)

Part I

Causes and Prevention of Fire.

(b)

Part II

Fire Fighting.

PART I : CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF FIRE

What is Fire
6.
Fire is the outcome of either heating or over heating of a combustible substance to the
required temperature or igniting an inflammablematerial.The following three elements are essential
for creation of fire and its continuation:(a)

Oxygen.

138
(b)

Sufficient heat to raise the temperature of fuel to its burning point or ignition.

(c)

Combustible or burnable material (Solid, Liquid or Gas).

7.
It should, therefore, be remembered that three things or conditions are necessary to start a
fire and to sustain it. Fuel (Combustible Material), Oxygen (Air) and Sufficient Heat to raise the
temperature ofthe fuel to its burning point, must be present at the same place and time.
Modes of Spread
8.
The fire spreads by the transmission of heat in one or any combination of the following four
ways:(a)
Conduction. Transfer of heat by the intermediary material. Many materials which
will not burn easily particularly metals are good conductors for transmitting heat. These
materials when overheated or heated by the fire, may ignite other combustible material
with which these may be in contact eg short circuiting of electrical wires due to overloading.
(b)
Convection. Transfer of heat through gases or smoke. Gases tend to rise until
ceiling or roof is reached after which they spread sideways in a mushroom manner and
ignite combustible materials located at higher levels than the original fire e.g. fire
spreading onto top floor. The best method to check this is to remove or cool the
combustible materials.
(c)
Radiation. Radiation means transfer of heat from the source of fire, without heating
the midway media e.g. air. The effect of radiation can be countered by forming a water
curtain between the fire and the object to be protected or the object may be removed or
cooled.
(d)
Direct Burning. This phenomenon is self-explanatory. Direct burning is often due
to a combination of the above two or three factors viz, conduction, convection and
radiation.
Prevention of Fire
9.

The following measures must be taken to prevent occurrence of fire incidents:(a)

Domestic Fires.
(i)

Kitchen Fires. These fires can be prevented by following measures:(aa) Dont keep any inflammable material like petrol, kerosene or clothing
near the fire or the gas.
(ab) Always check the gas cylinder, gas pipe for leakage. Keep the
kitchen well ventilated to prevent leaking gas accumulation. Switch off the
regulator when the gas is not in use.
(ac)

Before lighting the gas, ensure there is no gas leakage.

(ad)

Keep children away from gas or fire or stoves.

(ae) Before leaving the kitchen, ensure that the gas and kero stoves are
switched off and there are no burning embers in the Chula.
(ii)

Other Fires.
(aa)

Ensure that no electrical circuit is overloaded.

139
(ab)

Ensure that good quality electrical items are used.

(ac)
Ensure that all electrical gadgets are switched off when not in use,
eg TV, AC, room heater or iron.
(ad) Ensure that smokers do not leave any burning cigarettes or stubs in
ashtrays near inflammable material.
(ae)
(b)

Dont ignite any fire cracker inside the house.

Fire in Public Places.

(i)
Ensure that smokers do not leave any burning cigarettes or stubs in public
dustbins or near inflammable material in closed AC offices, shopping malls or
cinema halls.
(ii)
Dont ignite any fire cracker near petrol pumps, in crowded markets, near
inflammable material or inside malls.
PART II : FIRE FIGHTING

Fire Fighting
10.
Fire can be extinguished if any one or more of the three main constituents are removed
from the scene of fire. The fire can thus be extinguished by:(a)
Starvation. Starvation means removal of fuel combustible material and it can be
achieved by either segregation of fire and un-burnt fuel by removing either of them e.g.
removing un-burnt combustible materials from a room on fire with the help of hook or
otherwise or division of a large fire into several smaller ones to prevent the radiated heat
from setting alight combustible material at some distance.
(b)
Cooling. Cooling implies the removal of heat to lower the temperature of burning
material to a point below its ignition point. This is usually achieved by water. When water
is poured over a burning material, it absorbs heat, becomes hot and flows away or is
converted into steam. The burning substance loses heat to the water and its temperature
comes down to below its ignition temperature and so the fire is extinguished.
(c)
Smothering. Smothering means Choking or restricting the supply of Oxygen (Air)
to the burning material. This is also called blanketing and is achieved by sealing all the
burning material from Oxygen (Air) by covering it with sand/dry earth/ foam or by creating
an atmosphere over the fire of heavier than air inert gas.
Fire Fighting Parties
11.
To carryout the above methods, the fire services and fire parties are organized at the level
of every city, town and important establishments.
12.
House Fire Parties. It consists of four persons who carry stirrup pumps and water
buckets. They act as fire watchers and work under the orders of the wardens. They carry one
stirrup pump, two buckets, one torch and one hand axe. One steel helmet and one whistle per
member is envisaged as personal equipment.
13.
Auxiliary Fire Services. This consists of eight persons with Trailer Pump which can throw
water at the fire from a distance. The members of this Service are drawn from the Home Guards.

140
Fire Fighting Equipment
14.

15.

Fire Fighting Equipment can be divided into the following four categories:(a)

Fire Extinguishers.

(b)

Stirrup Pumps.

(c)

Buckets.

(d)

Fire Beaters and Hooks.

Fire Extinguishers. For the convenience of study, these could be grouped as under:(a)
Soda Acid Extinguishers. These fire extinguishers are used for extinguishing
fires involving ordinary combustible material, where the cooling effect is achieved by water
or solution containing large percentage of water. Such extinguishers are conical /cylindrical
in shape.
(b)
Foam Type or Dry Chemical Powder Extinguishers.Thesefire extinguishers
contain dry chemicals or solution and are exclusively meant for extinguishing fires involving
inflammable liquids such as oils, fats, or grease,where blanketing the fire to isolate it from
Oxygen (Air) is required.
(c)
CTC Carbon dioxide and Dry Chemical Extinguishers. These fire extinguishers
contain chemicals, either liquid, gas or dry, and are mainly used to fight fires involving Live
electrical equipment etc. where, the use of an electrically non-conductive extinguishing
agent is of most importance.

Soda Acid Fire Extinguisher

(d)

(e)

Foam Fire Extinguisher

The main advantages of these extinguishers are:(i)

They are easy to operate.

(ii)

They need only one man to operate and carriage to another place.

(iii)

They are very useful in the initial stage of fire.

The disadvantages of these extinguishers are:(i)

The use is limited as the duration of the working of the extinguishers is
approximately one to two minutes.

141
(ii)

The cost of these extinguishers is prohibitive.

(iii)

These extinguishers require constant care and careful maintenance.

16.
Stirrup Pumps. The stirrup pump is an excellent piece of first aid firefighting equipment
designed for use on small fire. It is very useful in localising and controlling fires with limited water
supplies. Water spray from this equipment may be used on small fires for cooling the combustible
material or the surrounding of scene of fire. It is generally operated by a team of four members but
in an emergency a team of two members can also operate it effectively. The water jet produced by
this pump can hit the ground at a distance not less than 9 meters from the nozzle. The
consumption of water is about 1 to 1-1/2 gallons per minute. The spray produced by this pump
can reach 15 to 20 feet away from the nozzle with water consumption gallons per minute.
17.
Bucket.Buckets are ideal for storing water and sand for fighting small fires. They could be
easily carried by one person, from one place to another.
18.
Fire Beaters/Hooks.Beaters made of wire net in a rectangular shape and hooks made of
iron fitted on bamboo poles are ideal for separating the burning and unburnt combustible material,
and extinguishing by beating the small fires.
CONCLUSION
19.
It therefore extremely essential for all to be aware of the causes of fires and how to
prevent fires or carryout firefighting in homes and public places.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Disaster causes substantial damage to life and property and its impact, effects life
beyond the boundaries of one state. To avoid this chaos, due to breakdown of command
and control and general law and order effected by lack of or no communication means, it
is necessary that systems and organisations are set in place, to ensure that evacuation
and subsequent reconstruction can be carried out smoothly. The major confusion is caused,
due to movement of men and transport moving out to secure areas and of over jealous
volunteers rushing in to help. Thus police in general and traffic police in particular, play an
important role in a disaster management loop.
4.
NCC cadets are a trained work force which can be utilized to assist the civil
authorities during such period, where the civil authorities are short on trained personnel.
However, for the cadets to be usefully employed, it is important to educate them on the
role of traffic police during such situations.

India is a large land form with peculiarity of varied geographical features. It has many
rivers flowing through it and is surrounded by sea on its three sides and the high mountain
ranges to its North. Though this makes India unique it also brings along vagaries of climatic and
weather changes and other geographical phenomenon. Floods, Cyclones, Earthquakes and
Tsunamis have occurred in the country from time to time.These natural disasters cause
unimaginable damage to people and property, devastating lives of large number of our
countrymen. It is therefore imperative that management during natural disasters be given utmost
importance.

PART II : ASSISTANCE BY NCC DURING NATURAL /OTHER CALAMITIES

8.
The organisation for providing assistance during natural / other calamities will be the existing
organisation of NCC. To carry out disaster rescue and emergency relief operations readily with
utmost speed, the state ADG/DDG will be the decision maker, who will act autonomously, keeping
DG NCC informed. The executors will be the Group Commanders / Unit Commanders who will
maintain close liaison with the DDMA authorities.
Method of Providing NCC Assistance
9.
Immediately on receiving any requisition for providing NCC assistance from the district
authorities, the CO Unit / Group Commander will take following actions :(a)
Muster adequate number of SD/JD cadets along with the ANOs and PI Staff. All
means of communication should be used for collection of cadets. The ANOs must ensure
that their cadets are collected in the shortest possible time.
(b)

Organise various action groups of strength 20-30 cadets under an ANO and a PI

151
Staff.
(c)

Carryout proper briefing of the cadets about the impending task.

(d)
Allocate and handover the action groups to the various agencies for providing
assistance.
10.
Creation of Groups. The following groups of NCC cadets need to be created for providing
assistance:(a)

Traffic Control Group. This group provides assistance to traffic police.

(b)
Relief Group. This group provides assistance to collect and distribute relief
materiel such as food supply, cloth, kerosene, diesel, utensils etc and coordinate all the
relief requirement of the other action groups.
(c)
Shelter Management Group. This group will be employed for establishment or
looking after shelters and safe houses providing the evacuees food, water and medication
requirements. This group can also coordinate with the government authorities to ensure
that health and nutrition facilities are available for the extra vulnerable groups, like women
and children.
(d)
Evacuation and Rescue Groups. The members of this group have to be
physically strong (both SD and SW), and should be trained in basic evacuation and rescue
method. The members of this group should coordinate with state government to get
facilities for rescue and evacuation in terms of rescue training. Rescue infrastructure and
equipment.
(e)
First Aid Medical Groups. There should be equal number of JD/SD and JW/SW
cadets in this group. Those with some knowledge of nursing will be preferable. The
members will have to go through intensive training and drills for first aid medical
reasonability.
(f)
Sanitation Groups. This group can consist of girl and boy cadets, who will look
after the sanitation responsibilities both at the shelter as well as outdoors.
(g)
Carcass Disposal Groups. Rotting and undisputed carcasses create unhygienic
conditions and have to be disposed off immediately. Their disposal becomes an extremely
important task. The members of this group have to be psychotically and physically able to
carry out this task and should have been medically protected. They will be imparted
appropriate training for carrying out this task. If possible the Civil Defence Volunteers,
members from the NSS\boys Scouts can be included in this group.
11.

Miscellaneous.
(a)
Command and Control. The overall command and control of the operation rests
with the Group Commander. The Group Commander constantly provides feedback to the
ADG / DDG who will be monitoring this from the directorate. Group Commander is to
nominate a unit to coordinate the operation with one or more flood/cyclone control liaison
officers. Telephonic communication will be severely affected in the event of floods.
Therefore it is imperative that alternate source of communications are identified and
included in the operation.
(b)
Honours and Incentives. Undertaking task in the event of the natural / other
calamities is voluntary and organisation driven. It is a service performed outside call of
ones duty and therefore it requires due recognition. It is encouraging and stimulating to the
NCC volunteers to be recognised by the media during their dedicated work. Therefore the

152
liaison officer must be in constant liaison with the local and national press and electronic
media and wide coverage must be given.
CONCLUSION
12.
Natural / other calamities which occur without much notice, cause excessive damage to
people and property. However, if we are well organized and prepared, then the losses in human
lives can be reduced by providing timely assistance to the needy.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Relief measures in the aftermath of disasters cover search, rescue and evacuation, relief
for livestock, clearance of debris, disposal of dead, control of fires, damage assessment and
shelter for victims. Setting up of relief camps encompasses shelter provision as part of emergency
relief operations and long-term rehabilitation plans. Shelter provision can differ in view of
peculiarities of location, climatic conditions and availability of resources. Inevitably, there will be a
need for siting temporary relief camps in the proximity of the affected settlements for which tents
may be required.
4.
The NCC cadets, as trained and organised youth, can contribute immensely for conditioning
and preparing the locals, in mitigating affects of natural disasters by providing assistance in setting
up of relief camps.

Part II

Specific Infrastructure Design Considerations.

PART I : CRITERIA FOR SITE SELECTION AND PLANNING

Criteria for Site Selection
7.
Social Needs.
In most circumstances the choice will be limited and any land meeting
even minimum standards may be scarce. Once a site is located, it is wise to determine the reason

154
to select or reject and examine whether the reason (e.g. no water or because it floods in the
monsoon) would exclude use by displaced people.
8
Water. The single most important site selection criteria is the availability of an adequate
amount of water on a Term-round basis. A site should not be selected on the assumption that
water can be acquired merely by drilling, digging or hauling. Where water is readily available,
drainage often becomes the key criterion. For effective drainage therefore, the entire site should
be located above flood level at a minimum of three meters above the water table, preferably on a
gently sloping area. Marshes or areas likely to become marshy or soggy during the rainy season
should be avoided. The watershed of the area may be a consideration.
9
Open Space.
The site must provide a sufficient amount of usable space for the
displaced population. WHO recommends a minimum of 30 square meters per person, plus the
necessary land for communal and agricultural activities and livestock. Of this, 3.5 square meters is
the absolute minimum floor space per person in emergency shelters. Since there is always the
possibility that more people may arrive, the site should be large enough to allow for major
expansion. If the population has been displaced due to civil strife, the site should be removed from
areas of potential conflict.
10.
Accessibility. The site must be accessible by vehicles and close to communication links,
sources of supplies and services such as food, cooking fuel, shelter material, and national
community services.
11.
Environment. The area should be free of major environmental health hazards, potential
diseases and harmful insects such as mosquito and tsetse fly. Climatic conditions should be
suitable for habitation throughout the Term.
12.
Soil and Ground Cover. The soil should allow for water absorption and the retention of
human waste. Rocky or impermeable sites should be avoided. If possible, land suitable for
vegetable gardens and small scale agriculture should be selected for the site.
13.
Land Rights. The land should be exempt from ownership rights or grazing and other
uses by local population. Any use of the land must be based on formal legal arrangements in
accordance with the laws of the country.
14.
Transit Centre.
There may be a need to set up a reception or transit centre, through
which displaced people pass on the way to a long-term settlement site. These centres must have
the same considerations as those relevant to long-term settlements.
Site Planning
15.
At the onset of an emergency, the immediate provision of essential goods and services is
more important than, efforts to change the way people have already arranged themselves. The
important aspects are:(a)

Site planning should take potential need for expansion into account.

(b)
Site planning should first consider the characteristics and needs of the individual
family and reflect the wishes of the community as much as possible.
(c)
A displaced-persons settlement is not a natural community. Particular care will be
required to ensure that special needs are met.
(d)
The overall physical layout of a site, as well as other aspects of the site, should
reflect a decentralised community-based approach focusing on family, village or ethnic
group.
PART II : SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
16.
Physical Layout. The basic principle of any physical layout of a camp is that it should be
organised into small community units. The location of centralized services will depend on the

155
specific situation and in particular the space available. Warehouses should be located near the
administrative office for security reasons.
17.

Shelters.
(a)
Shelter must provide protection, space to live and store belongings, privacy and
emotional security. Shelter is one of the most important determinants of general living
conditions and is often one of the largest items of non-recurring expenditure. Neither prefabricated buildings nor specially developed emergency shelter units have proved effective
in displaced persons emergencies. Both are ineffective due to their inappropriateness, high
unit cost, transport problems, and inflexibility. Emergency shelter arrangements will already
have been constructed before such systems can arrive. For similar reasons, tents are often
not an effective means of providing shelter. If a continued high density of occupation is
unavoidable, fire resistant materials may be needed. Housing should meet the cultural and
social requirements of a displaced persons home.
(b)
Material and design should meet the minimum technical standards for the different
local seasons. Roof material must be strong enough to withstand damage by the sun, rain,
snow and winds. Raised flooring is required in areas of high rainfall. Wall material must
afford privacy and protection from the elements. If the site lies in a hazard-prone area, the
design of buildings and their siting should conform to hazard-resistant criteria. In buildings
where cleanliness and hygiene are particularly important, the floor should be of cement or
at least washable.

18.
Roads and Pathways. The site should be accessible from other sites and contain allweather roads and pathways connecting the various areas and facilities.
19.
Administrative and Community Services. At the onset of an emergency, it may be
difficult to foresee all the administrative and community services likely to be required. Therefore,
where adequate space is available, free areas must be allocated for future expansion of these
services. The following administrative and community services are often required:(a)

(b)

Likely to be Centralised.
(i)

Camp administrative office.

(ii)

Essential services co-ordination offices (health care, water supply).

(iii)

Tracing services (Overhauling, repair facilities etc).

Likely to be Decentralised.
(i)

Bathing and washing areas.

(ii)

Community services (health centres, social service centres).

(iii)

Supplementary feeding centres.

(iv)

Education facilities.

(v)
Institutional centres (such as for the disabled or unaccompanied old, infirm
and children).
20.
Latrines. While water requirements often determine site selection, sanitation requirements
can dictate the site layout. If latrines are used there should be at least one for every 20 persons.
To avoid contaminating water sources, latrines should have an effective drainage system that is
easy to repair, both for rainwater and waste water.
21.
Water Distribution. Water will often be pumped from the source to an elevated point in
order to allow gravity feed distribution.

156
CONCLUSION
22. Emergency shelters, including communal buildings, should be built by the displaced people
themselves provided adequate organization and material support is given. This will help to ensure
that housing will meet their particular needs. Work by displaced people will reduce their sense of
dependence and can cut costs considerably.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Collection and distribution of aid material are essential steps in the loop of demand
and supply. The normal items reach the common man from the manufacturers through a
well laid out delivery systems where in many organizations work as a well oiled machine.
However on the occurrence of a disaster, this chain is completely broken down. Till this
chain is not re-established, there is an urgent need to create alternate methods of
collection and distribution of emergency articles so that they reach the effected persons.

5.

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Nature of Aid Materials.

(b)

Part II

Collection and Distribution of Aid Materials.

PART I : NATURE & SOURCE OF AID MATERIAL REQUIRED

6.

The nature and type of aid material required can be categorised as under:(a)
Personal Clothing and Bedding Items. Personal items such as clothing for
personal use, bedding, rain coats, blankets and other articles of bedding and shoes.
(b)
Medical and Life Saving Equipment. In the medical field, items like, medicines
and life saving drugs, provision of doctors and nursing staff, ambulances, mobile hospitals
and equipment for immediate medical needs.

158
(c)
Housing and Shelters. As a number of people are likely to become
homeless due to damage to building and shelters. There would be a need for
housing facility including shelter provision such as tentage pre-fabricated huts, water
proof material for temporary overhead protection.
(d)
Transportation. Restoration of the transport system may take a very long time.
Thus transport to move effected personnel to safer areas must be catered for by govt
organisations and NGOs.
(e)
Debris Clearing Equipment. The affected area require to be cleaned off
debris. Equipment varying from mechanical machines to hand operated equipment
will be required . Some items which may be required are cranes, bulldozers, tippers,
shovels, pick axes, drills and hand drills and ordinary hammers.
(f)
Animals and Live Stock. The disaster also effects livestock. It will also
require immediate fodder and rehabilitation. This is important as major outbreak of
epidemics are due to death of animals.
(g)
Disposal of the Dead.
This aspect needs speedy attention, the recovery
of bodies, identification, handing over to relatives, maintaining of proper records
and eventually ensuring that all the dead get disposed with dignity. Equipment and
personnel relating to the same will be required.
(h)
Communication.
The entire command and control is based on speedy
restoration of communications so that adequate nets on radio sets can be
established and telephone line are restored at the earliest.
(j)
Food, Water and Cooking Facilities.
Food is the major requirement of
the effected population. Food needs to be provided so that they can survive.
Some of the things which will be required are survival food kits which may be air
dropped or given via road or water routes. Other items are dry rations, fresh
vegetables, pre - cooked food packages, water in dispensers and bottles for individuals
and in water bouser for cooking and general use.
(k)
Electricity and Lighting Facilities.
Darkness and destruction are enough
to demoralise and kill the spirit of survival. Therefore provision of lighting facilities is
very essential. Some items like lanterns, patromaxes, gas lights need to be provided and
all efforts must be made towards restoration of electricity at the earliest.
7.
Sources of the Items.
Whenever there is a disaster, in addition to the Government
Organisations, a large number of NGOs and more so, the general public flows with generosity and
stores are received from a large number of agencies, such as :(a)

Central Government Organisations including Defence Services.

(b)

State Government Organisations.

(c)

Non Government Organisations (NGOs).

(d)

Educational Institutions.

(e)

Social Welfare Organisations.

(f)

Resident Welfare Organisations.

(g)

Red Cross.

(h)

International Organisations, like WHO etc.

159
(j)

Individuals.
PART II : COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF AID MATERIAL

8.
Collection. Government Agencies and Non Government Organisations (NGOs) are the
primary collection agencies. All items need to be collected and sifted as per the
requirement/groups and categories. It has been often observed that a large number of items get
collected but do not reach the effected persons due to lack of planned and coordinated collection
and distribution system. The following need to be kept in mind:(a)
Establish collection centres at various locations of the state keeping in mind the
provisioning capabilities of the locality.
(b)
Collect items as per categories initially itself to avoid wasting time in sifting and
repacking.
(c)
Perishable items of food to be collected at special centres to ensure speedy
transportation.
(d)

Do not collect items which are not required.

(e)
Ensure that the next stage/ centre of collection is ready to accept these items and
proper records are maintained of the arrival and dispatch of packages.
(f)

Sift the packages as per priority of requirement.

(g)
Ensure life saving drugs is routed through different collection and distribution
channels to avoid delay.
9.
Distribution. The distribution system is the most essential process for the timely receipt
of emergencies items during and after a disaster. The entire process of rehabilitation depends on
this system. Initially it is recommended to make the Public Distribution System (PDS ) as the base
for the distribution as it is a already available functional chain of supply. Additional manpower may
be required and minor adjustment will also be required keeping in mind the situation on ground.
However the following needs to be also done:(a)
Establish distribution system as per the concentration of population and the
established refugee camps and rehabilitation centres.
(b)
NGOs should carryout work in consultation with government agencies to ensure
that proper flow of required material is received by all the people.
(c)
Individual organisation must also work in consultation with government organisation
as per the priority of the items to be distributed.
(d)
Ensure that adequate items are distributed and records are maintained and given
as per the available details of family members. Initially minimum requirement should be
provided per family which can be subsequently increased with more availability of items.
(e)
If the collection process has been properly carried out it will save time and the
material would reach the effected persons with speed.
(f)
The entire area should be divided into grids during rehearsal stage and adequate
facilities should be put in place during this stage for use at a later date.
(g)
The bulk breaking of the items would have already been carried out at the collection
stage. However, if for the limitation of transportation it is required to be repacked, it must
be done speedily.

160
(h)
Major essential items can be moved by air, road, rail, waterways or a combination
of any of these means depending on the ground situation.
8.
Role of NCC Cadets. NCC cadets can play an important role in the collection and
distribution of aid material. Some of the tasks which can be performed by NCC cadets are as
under:(a)

Collection Stage.
(i)
The Cadets must be incorporated in the process at the planning stage itself
to identify the sources, the areas of importance and the agencies which they are
likely to work with.
(ii)

Cadets can help at the time of collection and help in maintaining records.

(iii)

Help in the sifting of articles and bulk breaking and packaging.

(iv)

Help in dispatch of items by various means.

(v)
NCC can establish their own collection and distribution centres as they are
closely associated with schools and colleges all over the country and even in the
remotest areas of our country. These can be opened at unit/ group level.
(vi)
NCC is working and coordinating with government at the central and also at
the state and district level and thus by their disposition they are ideally suited for a
parallel net work with other organisations.
(b)

Distribution.
(i)

Can be co-opted with the PDS system.

(ii)

Work along with NGOs or other organisations.

(iii)

Work independently in the chain of NCC collection and distribution system.

(iv)
Work along with Defence Forces, who are major contributors in crisis
management.
(v)
Operate and man various posts established for escorting and guiding
delivery agents with adequate signal communications.
CONCLUSION
9.
Collection and distribution of aid material is an essential activity in Disaster Management.
The NCC with its vast potential and strength can contribute immensely in this activity, by proper
coordination with the district authorities.

7.
Points for Consideration. NCC is an extra-curricular activity of students and the cadets
are not like embodied soldiers available at all times. Some points for employment of cadets are as
under:(a)
JW cadets are young and may not be considered suitable for such operations. SW
cadets may be used for softer jobs like providing medical assistance or manning
exchanges during strikes of nurses or telephone operators. Only SD cadets may be found
suitable for helping in natural calamities like earthquakes, land-slides and floods.
(b)

Suitable bonds would be required to be obtained from parents of cadets.

(c)
Cadets are never readily available to be mustered at short notice because they are
busy with their studies at schools/colleges. It is only during camps that the cadets are
available and can be launched at short notice.
(d)
Cadets are not adequately trained for specialized tasks related to Disaster
Management. Suitable training must be given to them during institutional training.
(e)
Adequate allowances would require to be allocated for the cadets taking part in
these activities.
(f)
Joint schemes with the State Disaster Relief machinery would be required to be
made in which NCC cadets may be incorporated.
(g)
Adequate signal equipment and other disaster relief equipment would be required
to be authorised to NCC to carry out necessary training.
(h)
NCC cadets would have to carry out rehearsals along with the Army, Police, Fire
Fighting forces and others in the State.
8.
A number of international and national NGOs are active in the area of disaster
preparedness and response. The national voluntary agencies working in various aspects of
disaster mitigation, including risk reduction, preparedness and response. NCC is required to
actively participating in disaster relief management in concerned states. Therefore, there is a need
for a coordinating body for emergency relief efforts with each state government. The objective of
such a coordinating body could be to strengthen the role of NCC in:(a)

Emergency preparedness.

(b)

Emergency response (both immediate and in reconstruction efforts).

(c)

Mitigation.

INTRODUCTION
3.
We all are aware that the Indian constitution guarantees and provisions Union and State
laws as well as policies and programmes for economic and social development are relevant to the
daily lives of the people only to the extent they are implemented honestly and efficiently.
Constitution stipulates that the Governments preserve public order and ensure welfare of its
citizens. Administration encompasses any activities towards implementation and execution of
above tasks.
4.
Administration is an art of getting things done through and with the people in various
organizational departments of the Governments. Administration involves guidance, leadership and
control of the efforts of various departments towards common goals.
AIM
5.
To acquaint the cadets about the administrative set up in India at District / Taluka / Village
levels.
PREVIEW
6.

The lecture will be conducted in three parts as under:(a)

Part I

Administrative set up at District level.

(b)

Part II

Administrative set up below District level.

PART I : ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP AT DISTRICT LEVEL

7.
The government at the centre and the state level cannot implement its policies directly from
the head quarters. Therefore, the state is divided into territorial divisions and districts. The actual
work of the government is carried out at the district level. People tend to judge the performance of

167
the government by the way the programmes are actually administered in the district. The people
come into direct contact with the administration at the district level more than the state or central
level.
8.
District administration is one of the most important parts of the Indian administrative system
and has been one of the most powerful institutions. During the colonial regime, it was rigorously
built up to bring the totality of government closer to the people. It was hierarchical sub-system of
the state administration performing the specific tasks assigned to it.
District Collector
9.
The head of civil administration in a district is a District Collector who is also a district
magistrate. She/he is a regional officer but she/he represents the government in the district in
practically all spheres of its activities. She/he is assisted by a number of other bureaucrats in
various departments. All the officers assist him in different branches of administration such as land
records, collection of revenues, policy implementation etc. He is also the ex-officio district election
officer. He is also responsible for planning and development of the district plans and assists district
planning committees in the budgetary processes. The office of the collector is called the
collectorate.
10.

The other major functions of District Collector include:(a)

Maintenance of law and order.

(b)

Inspection of Jails.

(c)

Supervise cadastral survey and land records.

(d)

Revenue administration and collection of land revenue.

(e)
Enforces civil defence measures, and is responsible for the protection of vital
installations.
(f)

Coordinates work of Different Departments/Offices

(g)

Acts as returning Officer for elections.

(h)

Heads the District disaster management Authority.

(i)
Thus, the office of the collector is burdened with a number of activities and
enormous powers are vested in the collector.
Other Officials
11.
A District is further divided into tahsils for the purposes of realization and collection of land
revenue administration. Tahsils are the units of Sub divisions, and Sub Divisional Magistrate
performs similar functions as that of district collector at the tahsil level. He is assisted by a number
of land revenue officials like Tahsildar, Naib-Tahsildar, Kanoongo and lastly the Lekhpal. Lekhpal
is the last in the revenue chain and is a village level functionary.
PART II : ADMINISTRATION BELOW DISTRICT LEVEL
Sub Divisions
12.
For administrative purposes the district is divided into Sub divisions, Tehsils, Parganas or
Circles or Ferkas and the Village is at the lowest level. The sub division is headed by SDO SDM/
Assistant Collector. He performs revenue as well as law and order functions in his sub division. He
is a link between the District Collector and the Tehsildar in revenue matters and DM and the

168
Station Police Officer, in law and order matters. Tehsil is the basic unit for purposes of general
administration, treasury, land revenue, land records, etc. A Tehsil comprises of about 100 villages.
Taluka / Tehsils
13.
Talukas, blocks or mandals (sub-districts but can also refer to division), headed by
a Tehsildar or Talukdar, comprise several villages or village clusters. The governmental bodies at
the Tehsil level are called the panchayat samiti.
Blocks
14.

The block is often the next level of administrative division after the Tehsil.

Villages
15.
Villages are often the lowest level of subdivisions in India. The governmental bodies at the
village level are called Gram Panchayat, of which there were an estimated 256,000 in 2002. Each
Gram Panchayat covers a large village or a cluster of smaller villages with a combined population
exceeding 500 (Gram Group).
Municipalities
16.
Municipalities of India are governed by Municipal Corporations (Mahanagar Paalika) for
large urban areas, Municipal Council (Nagar Paalika) for smaller urban areas, and Town
Councils (Nagar Panchayats) for suburban areas. Municipalities can be as large as a district or
smaller than a Tehsil.
CONCLUSION
17.
It is very important in a large and democratic country like India, all welfare schemes and
other administrative benefits reach every citizen. For this to happen, it is important that an effective
administration set up is available at every level from Central Government to Gram Panchayat. Of
course, honest and corrupt-free implementation of projects will decide the success of the system.
As the future citizens of India, we need to be aware of the system and responsibilities of each
official in the administrative set up so that we can contribute in our own way for the development of
our society.

INTRODUCTION
3.
The term Social Service is defined broadly as, the provisions made by governmental or
voluntary efforts to meet income maintenance, medical care, housing, education and recreational
needs and provisions, for the care and protection of recognised special groups. The origin of social
service is ancient, stemming from the tenets of the Judaco- Christian teachings. The modern
institutional service took shape with the impact of the industrial revolution upon family and
community life , substituting as it did an industrial for an agrarian economy, urban living for rural
living and creating dependence upon the wage system as a means of livelihood.
4.
Social service characterises a formalised way of helping people, to help themselves. It is
based on the reorganization of variations in individual capability and variations in the social
structure . The objective is to help the individual to utilise his capability for his own welfare and for
that community.

PART I : BASICS OF SOCIAL SERVICE
7.
Methods. There are generally three accepted methods identified for conduct of social
service which are as under:(a)
Social Case Work. This aims to help the individual make maximum use of the
established community, through understanding the individual in his total situation.
(b)
Social Group Work. It seeks to help the individuals utilize their fullest capacity for
their own welfare and for the welfare of the group as a whole, through understanding of
the behaviour of individuals in a group setting.
(c)
Community Organization. It attempts to help groups of individuals or groups of
agencies to work together so that their combined efforts will be useful for the social welfare
of the whole community.
8.
Types of Social Service Activities. The various types of social service activities which
can be undertaken are as under:(a)

Education.

(b)

Family Welfare, Medical Care, Family Planning and Nutrition.

(c)

Provision of Water and Cooking Fuel, Roads, Electricity and Sanitation.

(d)

PART II : WEAKER SECTIONS OF SOCIETY AND THEIR NEEDS

9.
General. India is still divided into many endogamous groups, or castes and sub-castes, as
a result of centuries of practicing a form of social hierarchy called the caste system. The traditional
caste system, leads to severe oppression and segregation of the lower castes and other weaker
sections and limits their access to various freedoms e.g, education and employment. After
independence the constitution of India included safeguards for suppressed and other backward
classes. The Indian constitution prohibits any discrimination based on religion, race, caste, sex
and place of birth. But, while providing equality of opportunity for all citizens, the constitution also
contains special clauses to ensure reservation, for the advancement of any socially and for the
educationally backward classes of citizens or for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.
10.

Classes of Society.
(a)
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes are communities that are accorded special status by the Constitution of India. These
communities were considered outcastes. These castes and tribes have traditionally been
relegated to the most menial labour with little possibility of upward mobility and are subject
to extensive social disadvantage and discrimination. The Scheduled Caste people are also
known as Dalits and the Scheduled Tribes people as Adivasis. Mahatma Gandhi used the
terms Harijans and Girijan, for SC and ST respectively. According to 2001 census,

171
population of SC and ST is approximately 16% and 8% of
respectively.

Indias total population

(b)
Other Backward Classes (OBCs). These classes are a group of sub castes which
are socially and educationally backward while still having a higher status than scheduled
castes or scheduled tribes. As of 2006 approximately 2300 communities are listed
backwards. Central and all state governments are enjoined to ensure their social and
educational development.
11.

Needs of the Weaker Sections.

(a)
Education. Education is the basic need of the weaker sections. The right
approach would be to provide all weaker sections, proper primary education, to
prevent them from dropping out of school and making them natural competitors and
to give scholarships at higher level. There is an urgent need to increase the number of
educational institutes. Some measures which can contribute in this are:(i)
At the village level, opening of schools which impart basic education
coupled with the vocational skill that can be taught with the naturally
available resources e.g. basket weaving, painting printing, tailoring, embroidery,
pottery, music, dance, etc will help in achieving self-sufficiency. Specially trained
teachers should be adequately compensated, so that talented people do not
hesitate to go to villages.
(ii)
Schools should also educate the villagers on moral values, hygiene,
first aid, family planning, budgeting, savings etc.
(iii)
Villagers must be educated on the need for educating the girl child
as she is the one responsible in bringing up the future generations. She
should therefore develop courage, self-confidence, competitive spirit and a
sense of equality with boys.
(iv)
Social evils such as the dowry system, child marriages and
superstitions, should be taken up for discussion and their drawbacks be
pointed out, so that they become events of history.
(b)
Employment.
Provision of land to landless and helping them in working out
a life by providing softer loans for cultivations etc can take care of employment
problems to some extent. Taking up of infrastructure projects will help in creating large
number of jobs.
(c)
Reservation in Educational Institutions and Govt Jobs. Reservations are
intended to increase the social diversity in campuses and workplaces by lowering
the entry criteria for certain identifiable groups who are grossly underrepresented in
proportion to their number in general population. Reservation is a term used to describe
policies whereby a portion of jobs, positions or academic seats are set aside or reserved
for a given group. Government has taken initiatives on a large scale by providing
reservations in different fields such as government jobs, educational institution and
other such government aided and semi-govt institutions, to help the SCs, STs and
OBCs.
A certain percentage of seats are reserved for sections so that the
discrimination against them can be reduced and they will be provided with equal
opportunities to work and grow. The Constitution lays down that 15% and 7.5% of
vacancies in government-aided educational institutes and for jobs in the government
/public sector are reserved as quota for the SC and ST respectively. Although originally
supposed to last for 10 years, the reservation system has continued till date and now
applies to higher education and legislative offices also. Currently 22.5% of the seats in

172
higher education institutes under the Central Government are reserved for SC and ST,
and 27% for OBCs.
12.
Contribution of NCC Cadets. Our NCC Cadets are from every nook and corner of
India. We must therefore utilise this huge potential of eager, helpful, energetic, educated
and talented cadets, to achieve our aim of imbibing values and
skills
amongst
the
weaker sections of our society which will make themselves self-sufficient and confident.
They will cease to be a drain on the resources of India and will become valuable
contributors to our economy.
CONCLUSION
13.
There is no doubt that the interests of the weaker sections need to be protected
and their legitimate needs fulfilled so that we can have a just and fair society where the
under privileged are not discriminated against and no section lags behind the other.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Every country has a population which is divided into two sections, the urban and the rural.
Urban people are those who live in urban areas where everything is available, particularly the
basic needs like health care, education, water, electricity, telecommunication, roads, transports,
railways etc. The areas where such facilities are not available at all or are not adequate, are
known as rural areas. For a country to develop, it is very essential that the country progress as a
whole and not only in the urban areas. As we are aware, India is one of the largest democracies in
the world and fast emerging as a world power, but it has not yet reached the stage of a fully
developed country, due to the huge gap between its people living in urban and rural areas.

PART II : IMPORTANT RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES IN INDIA
MGNREGA
11.
On 2nd Feb, 2006 National Rural Employment Guarantee Act2005 (NREGA) was launched
and in 2010 it was renamed as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(MGNREGA). It was the first ever law internationally, that guarantees wage employment in an unprecedented scale. MGNREGA aims at enhancing livelihood security of households in rural areas
of the country, by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in a
financial year, to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
To start with, 200 selected districts of the country were brought under it and within three years of
its launch, MGNREGA was extended to all the districts of the country from 1st April 2008.
12.

Unique features of the Act include:(a)

Time bound employment guarantee and wage payment within 15 days.

(b)
Incentive disincentive structure to the state governments, for
providing employment, as per demand.

providing

or

not

(c)
Emphasis on labour intensive works prohibiting the use of contractors, and
machinery.
(d)
Ensure the creation of durable community, social and economic infrastructure and
assets in the rural areas.
(e)

The Act also mandates 33 per cent participation for women.

13.
Over the years employment opportunities under MGNREGA have increased and during
5.49 crore household were provided employment in 2010-11.The average wage paid under
MGNREGA has increased from Rs 65 in 2006-07 to Rs 100 in FY 2010-11. The Programme had
a high workforce participation of marginalized groups like SC/ST (52 % in 2011) and women
participation was 50% in 2012. About 9.88 crore bank and post office accounts have been opened
to disburse wages directly to the workers accounts. Of the total works were undertaken, 53%
constituted water conservation, 22% rural connectivity and 9% land development.

176
Swarnajayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojna (SGSY)
14.
This programme was launched in April, 1999. This is a holistic programme covering all
aspects of self-employment such as organisation of the poor into self-help groups, training, credit,
technology, infrastructure and marketing.
15.
The objective of SGSY is to provide sustainable income to the rural poor. The programme
aims at establishing a large number of micro-enterprises in the rural areas, based upon the
potential of the rural poor. It is envisaged that every family assisted under SGSY will be brought
above the poverty-line with in a period of three years.
16. This programme covers families below poverty line in rural areas of the country. Within this
target group, special safeguards have been provided by reserving 50% of benefits for SCs/STs,
40% for women and 3% for physically handicapped persons. Subject to the availability of the
funds, it is proposed to cover 30% of the rural poor in each block in the next 5 years. SGSY is
being implemented by the District Rural Development Agencies (DRDAs) with the active
participation of Panchayat Raj Institutions, the Banks, the line Departments, and NGOs. SGSY has
been restructured as National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) and now renamed as Aajeevika.
Jawahar Gram Samriddhi Yojna (JGSY)
18. The critical importance of rural infrastructure in the development of village economy is well
known. A number of steps have been initiated by the Central as well as the State Governments for
building the rural infrastructure. The public works programme have also contributed significantly in
this direction.
19. Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojna (JGSY) is the restructured, streamlined and comprehensive
version of the erstwhile Jawahar Rozagar Yojana. Designed to improve the quality of life of the
poor, JGSY has been launched on 1st April, 1999. The primary objective of the JGSY is the
creation of demand driven community village infrastructure including durable assets at the village
level and assets to enable the rural poor to increase the opportunities for sustained employment.
The secondary objective is the generation of supplementary employment for the unemployed poor
in the rural areas. The wage employment under the programme shall be given to Below Poverty
Line (BPL) families.
20. JGSY is implemented entirely at the village Panchayat level. Village Panchayat is the sole
authority for preparation of the Annual Plan and its implementation.
Indira Aawas Yojna (IAY)
21.
IAY is the flagship rural housing scheme which is being implemented by the Government of
India with an aim of providing shelter to the poor below poverty line. The Government of India has
decided that allocation of funds under IAY (Indira Awas Yojna) will be on the basis of poverty ratio
and housing shortage.
22.
The objective of IAY is primarily to help construction of new dwelling units as well as
conversion of unserviceable kutcha houses into pucca / semi-pucca by members of SC/STs, freed
bonded labourers and also non-SC/ST rural poor below the poverty line by extending them grantin-aid.
23.
IAY is a beneficiary-oriented programme aimed at providing houses for SC/ST households
who are victims of atrocities, households headed by widows/unmarried women and SC/ST
households who are below the poverty line. This scheme has been in effect from 1st April, 1999
and since inception of scheme about 272.83 lakh houses have been constructed. December,
2000, a 100 % centrally sponsored scheme namely Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)
was launched with the objective of providing connectivity by all weather roads to about 1.60 lakh
unconnected habitations with population of 500 persons and above (250 persons and above in

177
respect of hill States, the tribal and the desert areas) through good all-weather roads in the rural
areas by the end of Tenth Plan Period (2007) Upto January,2012, a total of 42,531 habitations
have been connected out of 63,940 habitations to be connected and works for 58,387 habitations
sanctioned.
National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP)
24.
The National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) was launched in 1995-96 The NSAP
then comprised of the National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAPS), National Family Benefit
Scheme (NFBS) and National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS). On 1st April, 2000 a new
scheme known as Annapurna Scheme was launched. This Scheme aimed at providing food
security to meet the requirement of those senior citizens who, though eligible had remained
uncovered under the NOAPS. In February 2009 two new Schemes namely, Indira Gandhi National
Widow Pension Scheme (IGNWPS) and Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme
(IGNDPS) have been introduced under NSAP. The major benefits under these various schemes
are as under:(a)
Under Annapurna Scheme 10 kgs of food grains per month is provided free of cost
to the beneficiary.
(b)
Under NOAPS, Rs 75 per month was being provided per beneficiary to destitute
who are 65 years of age or above. However, with effect from 01 Apr 2011, the eligibility
age for old age pension under IGNOAPS has been reduced from 65 years to 60 years and
the amount of pension has been raised from Rs 200 to Rs 500 per month for those who are
80 years or above.
(c)
GOI approved a pension of ` 200 per month, per beneficiary to BPL widows in the
age group of 40-64 years. Consequent upon the revision in age limit under IGNOAPS
w.e.f. 01.04.2011, the upper age limit under IGNWPS was revised from 64 years to 59
years. Presently, widow pension under IGNWPS is provided to BPL widows in the age
group of 40-59 years. It is estimated that during the year 2011-12, 29 lakh beneficiaries
would be covered under the scheme.
(d)
A pension of Rs 200 per month, per beneficiary is provided to disabled persons with
severe or multiple disabilities between the age group of 18-64 years belonging to BPL
families, under Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme(IGNDPS).
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)

CONCLUSION
27.
It is very important in a large and democratic country like India, all welfare schemes and
other administrative benefit reach every citizen. For this to happen, it is important that an effective
administration set up is available at every level from Central Government to Gram Panchayat. Of

7.

Non-Government Organisations
(a)
These are organisations which are controlled by members of society, who form a
group or groups and, work towards social welfare and nation building. People with common
objective and aspirations, together make organisations called Non-Government
Organisation (NGOs) and get them registered.

180
(b)
An NGO is a non-profit group or association that acts outside of institutionalised
political structures and pursue matters of interest to its members by lobbying, persuasion,
or direct action.
(c)
NGOs firstly make survey of various problems, collect information about them,
organize various demonstrations, give speeches and wherever action needs to be taken,
they take with full vigour. They understand social problems, the causes, affects and create
necessary infrastructure to overcome them.
(d)
NGOs are primarily non-commercial. They collect funds both from people and the
government. NGOs usually gain a portion of their funding from private sources. Major
sources of NGO funding include membership dues, grant from international institutions or
national governments and private donations.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Youth constitute the most creative segment of any society. Their role and contribution are
vital to all societies and more so in a country like India with wide social, cultural and other
demographic diversities. Youth constitute about 34 % of the total population of India and their role
and contribution towards social welfare and nation building cannot be ignored. For a better
understanding of the subject it is important to first understand the basic of social welfare.
4.
Social welfare has been defined by a United Nations expert group as Organised activity
that aims towards a mutual adjustment of individuals and their social environment. Social welfare
is considered as including the attempts made by governments and voluntary organizations to help
families and individuals by maintaining incomes at an acceptable level.
AIM

To acquaint the cadets about the Contribution of Youth towards Social Welfare.
CONTRIBUTION OF YOUTH TOWARDS SOCIAL WELFARE

6.
The contribution of youth towards social welfare have been discussed in the succeeding
paras:(a)
Leadership. Youth are the leaders of tomorrow and young and vibrant youth are
essential for future leadership. Support is provided to voluntary organizations to participate
in youth development programmes. Youth need to involve themselves in activities which
will develop creditable leadership.
(b)
Community Service. Youth need to work in social welfare activities and
community services. Therefore, Community Service has been developed as an integral
part of the curriculum for education, instruction and training of all students enrolled in
educational institution so that youth can fruitfully understand and contribute in community
service.

183
(c)
National and Cultural Integration. The youth, when organized as youth force will
contribute for the promotion of national and cultural integration of the country. Fostering
and developing interaction between youth from different parts of the country specially the
isolated border and tribal areas will help in achieving national integration. It should be the
endeavour of youth to motivate the general public to work against the separatist forces and
ensure unity of the country is maintained.
(d)
Education and Literacy.
The Youth need to educate themselves and
subsequently get into the process of providing quality education to all sections of society.
They need to promote education and self development capabilities of the rural youth
specially of girls and youth in backward areas.
(e)
Environment. The youth must understand the importance and implications of
environment on the society and the ecological wealth of the nation. They must help in
improving and protecting the environment. They need to engage in aforestation
programmes and cleaning of rivers and lakes and disposal of degradable and nondegradable waste.
(f)
Health Care and Family Welfare.
They must promote awareness and
involvement in social programmes pertaining to health and family welfare. Programmes
such as Youth against AIDS campaign, Pulse Polio, Small Family norm and various
immunization programmes should be promoted. They must also volunteer in manpower
intensive programmes at the implementation stage.
(g)
Physical Education and Adventure Training. The youth must understand the
importance of physical education for health and physical fitness with a view to increasing
individual productivity and the value of sports as a means of recreation and with a potential
for promoting social harmony and discipline.
(h)
Old Age Care.
Our basic social fabric and the joint family system inherently
provide for old age care. However with the breakdown of the joint family system the need
for old age care has increased. The youth must contribute to the wellbeing of the senior
citizen of the society by taking care of their aged and provide them financial security and
moral self-respect and make all efforts to ensure that they have a secure old age with
adequate housing and health care.
(j)
Watershed and Waste Land Development. These two are one of our major
resources which need to be continuously protected and systematically proclaimed and
developed and can be used for various social welfare activities. Youth has genuine
potential for this nature of work. They must contribute in these programmes and ensure
that these areas are protected from unscrupulous elements who may enter these areas of
interests, for personal gains.
CONCLUSION
7.
Our youth are the strength of the family, village, locality and the community. They are also
the future of our nation. We must take all necessary steps to mobilize this most idealistic, inspired
and energetic section of our society in the mission of nation building and social welfare.

INTRODUCTION
3.
The rapid growth of population is one of the major problems facing the country today.
Considering that the population of the country is over1000 million and the annual surplus of births
over deaths at 15 million, the population explosion continues. Some social facts like reluctance of
uneducated masses and minority groups towards adopting family planning programmes emerge
as major constraints. Family planning is not only concerned with limiting the measure of children
through preventive measures, but very much related with aspects of health care and better
standard of living.
4.
Family planning is defined as the voluntary, responsible decision made by individual and
couples as to the desired family size and timing of birth. Therefore on the micro level it means
children are born because they are wanted and provided for and on the macro level it contributes
to the betterment of human life.

PART I : FAMILY PLANNING
7.

Factor Affecting Family Planning. The following factors affect family planning:(a)

Fatal infant and childhood morbidity.

(b)

Poor physical and intellectual development of the unwanted child.

(c)

Pregnancy wastage.

(d)

Maternal risk of illness and death.

(e)

Fathers risk of hypertension and gastric ulcers.

(f)

Marital risk.

(g)

Poor nutrition.

(h)
Environmental hazards such as overcrowding, poor water supply and atmospheric
contamination.
(j)

Increased incidents of genetic diseases.

(k)
Mental health problems of parents as well as children due to strains caused by
large family.
8.

Methods of Family Planning. Family planning can be achieved by following methods:(a)

Vasectomy.

(b)

Tubectomy.

(c)

Conventional contraceptives like condoms and diaphragms.

(d)

Oral pills.
PART II : MEASURES TO ATTAIN OBJECTIVES

9.

Effective measures to be under-taken are:(a)

Voluntary encouragement of family planning can have positive health benefits. In
small families mother takes more care of child which is necessary for healthy development.
(b)
Stringent laws be enacted to curb the menace and the violators severely punished.
Couples violating family norms should be debarred from contesting elections and their
voting rights withdrawn. A massive campaign could be launched through the electronic and
print media to create conducive environment.
(c)

Take steps encouraging a two-child norm so that growing population is controlled.

(d)
Educating women particularly in backward and rural areas be taken up with
complete sincerity, which would help in eradicating this menace.

186
(e)
Early marriage be strictly checked and efforts be made to raise the living standard
and improve literacy rate.
(f)
Couples adopting family planning should be given all possible assistance. In this
regard, couples should be made to attend counseling sessions after marriage in which they
should be made aware of the needs and benefits of family planning.
(g)
The problem can also be solved by providing basic health care facilities specially to
the backward classes and such families to be given assurances that proper health care
would make sure their children survive.
(h)

Involvement of religious leaders in the programme.

(j)

Development of rural areas.

CONCLUSION

10.
Family planning assumes greater importance today as population has passed the one
billion mark. Rapid growth of population is straining the available resources. In India resources are
already scarce. There will be scarcity of land, houses and food coupled with unemployment. This
will give rise to crime in the society. There is an immediate requirement to educate the masses
involving religious, political and intellectual aspects to motivate them to adopt family planning if we
want to see India as the economically and technologically leading nation in the world.

A
`DRUG` is a substancesolid, liquid or gas that brings about physical and / or
psychological changes. Drugs affect the central nervous system. They act on the brain and can
change the way a person thinks, feels or behaves. These drugs are known as psychoactive drugs.
Drug menace is one of the most serious problems facing the world. Drug trafficking and drug
abuse are considered as a greater problem than drug consumption.
AIM

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Types of Drugs.

(b)

Part II

Drug Abuse and Trafficking.

PART I : TYPES OF DRUGS

6.
Types of Drugs. There are three main types of drugs affecting the central nervous
system:(a)
Depressants. Depressants are drugs that slow down the function of the central
nervous system. Depressant drugs do not necessarily make a person feel depressed. They
include:(i)

Alcohol.

188
(ii)

Cannabis.

(iii)

Barbiturates, including Seconal, Tuinal and Amytal.

(iv)
Benzodiazepines (Tranquilisers), Benzos, Tranx, such as Rohypnol, Valium,
Serepax, Mogadon, Normison and Eupynos.
(v)

GHB (Gamma- hydroxybutrate), or Fantasy.

(vi)

Opiates and Opioids, including Heroin.

(b)
Stimulants. Stimulants act on the central nervous system to speed up the
messages to and from the brain. They make the user feel more awake, alert or confident.
Stimulants increase heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure. Other effects include
appetite, dilated pupils, talkativeness, agitation and sleep disturbance. Mild stimulants
include:(i)

Ephedrine used in medicines for bronchitis, high fever and asthma.

(ii)

Caffeine in coffee, tea and cola drinks.

(iii)

Nicotine in tobacco.

(c)
Hallucinogens. Hallucinogens affect perception, People who have taken them
may believe they see, hear and perceive things that are not really there or what they see
may be distorted in some way. The effects of hallucinogens vary a great deal, so it is
impossible to predict how they will affect a particular person at a particular time.
Hallucinogens include:(i)

Dhatura.

(ii)

Ketamine.

7.
Legal Drugs. These are those where laws and regulations control the availability, quality
and price of the legal drugs. For example tobacco may not be sold to persons below age of 18
years.
8.
Illegal Drugs. Because they are illegal there are no prices or quality controls on the illicit
drugs such as heroin. This means that a user can never be sure that the drug they are taking is in
fact what they think it is. The user also cannot be sure of a drug`s strength or purity. Various
batches of an illegally manufactured drug may have different mixtures of the drug and additives
such as poisons, caffeine or even talcum powder.
PART II : DRUG ABUSE AND TRAFFICKING.
Drug Abuse
9.
What is Drug Abuse. It is a patterned use of a substance (drug) in which, the user
consumes the substance in amounts or with methods, neither approved nor supervised by medical
professionals. Drug abuse is not limited to mood-altering or psycho-active drugs. If an activity is
performed using the objects against the rules and policies of the matter (as in the case of steroids
for performance enhancement in sports), it is also called drug abuse. Using illicit drugs narcotics,
stimulants, depressants (sedatives), hallucinogens, cannabis, even glues and paints, are also
considered to be classified as drug abuse. Continuous and prolonged abuse of drugs may make a
person an addict.

189
10.
It was found that all the addicts either
take cannabis or heroin. 72% percent of
addicts are in the age group of 20-24 years,
And females comprise only 2% of the addicts.
78% of addicts come from the families which
are facing problems such as, loss of one or
both parents or separation of the parents.
11.
Drug addiction is found to be most
common in peer group. The other reasons are
curiosity (19.85%), pleasure seeking (12%)
and mental tension (5%). Majority of addicts
(84%) mention that the drug is easily available
to them. Education and occupation has no
significant effect on the habit. The problem of
drug addiction appears to be common amongst
youths (20-24 yrs). High incidents in youth may
be due to their emotional immaturity.
Drug Trafficking
12.
India, due to its geographical location
has become a transit route base for illicit heroin, hashish and morphine from Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Iran, Nepal and Burma. This area is known as Golden Crescent. Cannabis smuggled
from Nepal is mainly consumed in India. Most heroin transiting through India is bound for Europe.
13.
A peculiar system of supply and demand that characterizes the Indian drug market is that
the user and traders are often the same. To fund drug consumption many users resort to crimes
and thefts. The drug syndicates often use poor people, especially youth to carry their illicit
products from one place to another, at a hefty price, which makes the youth fall for this easy
money. The youth do not understand the dangers of this illegal activity.
14.
The Law. Control over cultivation of opium and all matters relating to narcotic drugs and
psychotropic substances are regulated by the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances
(NDPS) Act and Rules, which provide for:(a)
Punishment of upto 20 yrs Rigorous Imprisonment and fine up to Rupees Two
Lakhs for indulging in trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
(b)

Death sentence in case of repeat of this offence.

(c)

Forfeiture of property of smugglers.

(d)
Regulating of legitimate trade and commerce of NDPS for medicinal and scientific
purposes. The Prevention of Illicit Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic
Substances (PITNDPS) provides for detention of persons indulging in trafficking of
narcotic drugs for 1 to 2 years by an executive order.
CONCLUSION
15. Drug trafficking and consumption has become a global menace. To eradicate this, it requires
mobilisation of international communities through a comprehensive approach in combating illicit
production, trafficking and consumption of drugs. Government and NGOs should emphasise on
education, healthcare, treatment and rehabilitation for effective control of drug abuse.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Sense of community (or psychological sense of community) is a concept in community
psychology and social psychology, as well as in several other research disciplines, such as urban
sociology, which focuses on the experience of community rather than its structure, formation,
setting, or other features. Sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists, and others have
theorized about and carried out empirical research on community, but the psychological approach
asks questions about the individual's perception, understanding, attitudes, feelings, etc. about
community and his or her relationship to it and to others' participation-indeed to the complete,
multifaceted community experience.
AIM
4.

To acquaint the cadets about Civic Responsibilities.

UNDERSTANDING CIVIC RESPONSIBILTIES

5.
Civic Sense is the sense in an individual which makes him a civilized citizen of a country.
However, it is certainly more than just that. Civic Sense means social ethics, the positive
perception, understanding, attitudes, towards society or community. Its the behavior between
individuals and groups, civility and unspoken principles of society. Civic Sense is not just about
keeping the roads clean and avoiding the violation of basic civic rights, its about respecting one
another, abiding by the law and maintaining proper etiquette in public places.
6.
Nowadays, we are so busy that we do not have time to spare. We absolutely lack basic civic
sense and some of us are not even bothered. Why is it that only a few of us need to do our
homework and raise an alarm? We see people littering, smoking in public places, cutting off plants
and many other violations everyday. There are so many products that we use mindlessly every
day, without a thought of how they might be affecting the environment around us. The time has
come for us to think carefully before we use a product and look for healthy alternatives. Arent we
all proud to live in a city that boasts a high standard of living and good infrastructure? Why is it that
when it comes to civic sense, we turn a blind eye?

191
7.
In some people civic sense is found to be inadequate. The reason for this is plausible for,
never are some people formally taught to treat things that belong to others nicely, kindly and well.
Nowhere in any syllabus in a school or in a daily routing at home is civility part of the program to
be instilled, it is instead conspicuous by its absence. Some of the children are not taught to treat
the neighbourhood, the society and public property as something meant to be maintained well.
What is being taught to some of the children is just to keep themselves, their things and their
homes in order. The society is becoming not my concern. With this attitude, it is no wonder that
parks, cinemas, roads are all littered, because they do not belong to anyone. Some of the people
feel that the municipality is to look after these but, what about the public contribution? Some of the
people only contribute filth wherever they can.
8.
Some of the people clean our homes and throw the rubbish in front of our neighbour's home,
we eat sweets and chocolates and throw wrappers here there and everywhere. A very common
sight is a biscuit wrapper being flung out of a speeding car in the middle of the road. This only
goes to show how very civic minded our so called creamy layer of society is. If this is the standard
of the cream, the less said about others, the better it would be. One just has to go to a newly built
cinema house with all the most modern gadgets but, all the walls are full of pan spit. Is this how we
care for our public property? Would we destroy the walls of our homes? No definitely not, then why
this indifference for public property? This is because we have become and continue becoming
more and more selfish and self-centered. We only look at self and nothing else around us matters.
Yet, at the same time if we do not have public amenities - we shout the loudest. What an irony?
We want everything but cannot contribute to the maintenance of anything. This is the standard of
our civic sense. In this, the most tragic fact about the whole affair is that we are at no stage of life
taught to respect other peoples' property or public property. It is the educated and the rich who
should be the best conducted, contribute maximum to lack of civic sense. We must make
destroying of public property a punishable offence then people might be less frivolous to civilities.
CONCLUSION
9.
Civic Sense is that sense in an individual which makes him a civilized citizen of a country. As
far as the normal understanding is concerned, it is felt that people from cultured, educated and
belonging to the upper strata are more or less quite civilized and have a huge stock of civic sense.
Lack of civic sense is not far to seek, we find it all pervading no matter where we go. At home, in
our neighbourhood, in the colony, on the road, in the office, in a theatre, in a restaurant and
everywhere we go, we are duty bound to have civic sense.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Few diseases have been feared as much as HIV/AIDS has been ever since human beings
began efforts to prevent and control major diseases. Although a large number of health problems
continue to defy human efforts to control them, none of them presents a challenge greater than the
prevention and control of HIV/AIDS.
4.
Globally, an estimated 38.6 million people are living with HIV, of which an estimated 4.1
million were new infections. In Asia, an estimated 8.2 million people are living with HIV including
1.2 million new infections last year. In India, an estimated 5.2 million people are living with the
virus, most of whom are poor and marginalized. The patterns of HIV infection in India reflect
underlying patterns of social and economic inequality, such as distribution of wealth, power,
gender relations, womens status, poverty, lack of sustainable livelihoods, civil unrest and disorder,
etc.

PART I : CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF HIV / AIDS

7.

What is HIV / AIDS.

(a)
Although HIV and AIDS are often used synonymously, they are different. HIV
(Human Immuno-deficiency Virus) is a virus that gradually destroys the bodys immune
system. AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is a condition wherein various
diseases affect the body because of the bodys weak natural defense mechanism the
immunity. AIDS stand for Acquired (not inborn, but passed from mother to baby), Immune
(relating to the bodys immune system, which provides protection from disease causing
bacteria/viruses/ fungi); Deficiency (lack of response by the immune system to bacteria /
viruses / fungi / cancer cells); Syndrome (a number of signs and symptoms indicating a
particular disease or condition).
(b)
Therefore, AIDS is an acquired condition in which a person may have various
diseases that cause similar symptoms, all of which are due to the bodys diminished ability
to fight diseases. Anyone who has HIV infection will develop AIDS over a period of time.

8.
How Does HIV Affect the Body. A special variety of white blood cells called T
lymphocytes secrete chemicals that are necessary for destroying the disease causing germs or
agents. HIV destroys T lymphocytes (also called T-cells), and thereby reduces the bodys ability to
fight diseases. T-cells contain a protein called CD4 on their surface. HIV first attaches itself to CD4
and then fuses with the T-cells to multiply. Fusion with T-cells destroys the T cell and several
copies of HIV are produced.
9.
How Does HIV/AIDS Spread. HIV is present in all body fluids of an infected person and is
more in number, in the blood, semen and vaginal fluids. HIV infection normally spreads when there
is contact with these body fluids through four main routes:(a)
Sexual Transmission. The most common route of spread of HIV infection is
through unprotected sex between two people, where at least one has HIV infection.
Unprotected sex means having sex without condom. Although the risk of HIV being
transmitted during one sexual act depends upon several factors, it is important to
remember that even one episode of unprotected sex with an infected partner can transmit
HIV. Increased number of unprotected sex increases the risk of infection. Some issues
related to sexual transmission of HIV are as under:-.
(i)
Increased Risk for Women. Women are at greater risk of developing HIV
infection through unprotected sex. This means that the risk of transmission of HIV
from man to woman is higher than that from woman to man. There are five main
reasons why women are at greater risk:(aa) The semen from the infected male sexual partner remains in the
womans vagina for a longer time, thereby increasing the duration of contact
between infected semen and delicate lining of the vagina.
(ab) The surface area of the vagina is larger than the surface of tip of the
penis in men, which provides greater opportunity for the virus to enter the
body.
(ac)
Many women with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) do not have
any symptoms and therefore do not seek treatment. Presence of STIs
increases the risk of HIV transmission.

194
(ad) The gender imbalance makes it difficult for women to exercise their
sexual rights. This means that they have less control over, when and with
whom, they have sex.
(ae) Women are less likely to take treatment, especially for STIs, which
increase the risk of HIV transmission.
(ii)
Sexually Transmitted Infections. Presence of STIs increases the risk of
HIV transmission. People who have ulcers in the genital organs or abnormal
discharge either from the penis or the vagina are at higher risk of HIV transmission.
Early treatment of STIs reduces the risk of HIV infection.
(iii)
Anal Sex. Although anal sex is more common among men, who have sex
with men (MSM), some heterosexual partners also practice it. Anal sex has higher
risk of HIV transmission as compared to vagina sex. This is mainly because the
delicate inner lining of the anus gets easily damaged during anal sex. This damage
helps the HIV to enter the body easily.
(iv)
Menstruation. The menstrual blood of a woman with HIV infection will
contain the virus. Thus, sexual intercourse during menstruation with an infected
woman increases the risk of the male partner getting HIV infection.
(b)
Blood Transfusions. As per the guidelines of the National AIDS Control
Organization (NACO), it is mandatory to test blood for HIV before transfusion. The risk of
transmission of HIV through tested blood is therefore very remote. The only possibilities of
infection through blood are, if the blood was not tested for HIV or the HIV infection was in
the window period. Window period is the term used for the duration between the entry of
HIV in the body and the detection of its antibodies through blood tests. Window period is
normally up to three months. This means that during this time, even if a person is HIV
infected he/she will test negative. He/she can however transmit infection to others. Blood
donation has no risk of getting HIV infection because the needle and other
equipment used for collecting your blood are safe.
(c)

Sharing Needles and Syringes for Intravenous Drug Use.

(i)
When people inject drugs intravenously, they may draw small amounts of
blood into the needle. If another person uses this needle immediately, the blood
containing HIV will be injected into the second person. Thus, he/she can also be
infected with HIV.
(ii)
Despite several concerns about the poor sterilisation practices by some
doctors, especially in rural areas, HIV infection through injections given at a health
centre is not a common mode of transmission in India. This is mainly because most
of these doctors, even if they are not qualified, boil them for a short time. HIV is
destroyed by even short duration heat and drying. Shorter boiling time for sterilizing
needles may not destroy other disease causing germs such as Hepatitis B virus. It
is also important to remember that injections that are given in the muscles, under
the skin or in the skin layers carry little risk of transmitting the HIV.
(iii)
For several years now, rumours are periodically spread about people with
HIV infection, intentionally pricking other people with infected needles in public
places such as movie theatres, markets, bus-stops etc. with an intention of
transmitting the infection to them. These rumours are baseless because of three
main reasons:(aa) There should be adequate amounts of blood containing the virus on
the needle before it can cause infection. A needle that has been merely

195
pricked in the body of a person with HIV is not likely to have the number of
HIV necessary to cause infection.
(ab) Even if the infected person were to use needle that has been used
intravenously, the virus may not be alive if the blood on the needle has dried
up.
(ac)
When an infected needle is pricked into the muscles, the risk of
transmitting the infection is very low.
(d)
Mother to Child Transmission. Mother to child transmission of HIV can occur in
three ways:(i)

During pregnancy, when the HIV crosses the placenta.

(ii)

During delivery.

(iii)
During Breastfeeding. Although HIV is present in breast milk, it does not
mean that the baby will always be infected with it. Also, in a country such as India,
the alternative to breast-feeding is bottle-feeding, which is not only expensive but
also carries a higher risk of diarrhoea, poor nutrition and as a result death. Since
the benefits of breast-feeding are much more than the risk of getting HIV infection, it
is recommend that women with HIV infection breast-feed their babies.
(e)

Other Methods.
(i)
Skin Piercing. There are several cultural practices in India that involve skin
piercing such as, piercing ears or nose for ornamental reasons, tattooing, etc.
Although skin piercing is not currently one of the major routes of transmission of
HIV infection in India, it is desirable to use sterilized equipment for prevention of
infections such as Hepatitis B.
(ii)
Oral Route. Many people believe that kissing, sharing utensils etc. with
people who have HIV can transmit the infection. This is not true. HIV has not been
shown to be transmitted through saliva. If the virus is ingested in the stomach, the
acids in it are likely to inactivate or destroy the virus. The risk through oral route
may be there only if there are cuts or wounds in the mouth or bleeding gums.

10.
How is HIV Diagnosed. HIV is normally diagnosed through blood tests that detect
antibodies to HIV. It is recommended that the tests are done only at the Voluntary Counselling and
Testing Centres (VCTCs) set up by National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO). Counselling is
done before and after the test in order to ensure that the person being tested is aware of all the
issues related to HIV transmission, prevention, treatment, care and support. In case of a negative
test result, the test is repeated after three months to rule out the possibility of the first test being
carried out in the window period. Confidentiality is strictly maintained while testing for HIV. This
means that no one other than the person being tested is informed about the test results.
PART II : PREVENTION OF HIV/AIDS
11.

Symptoms of HIV.
(a)
Most people infected with HIV are not likely to have any symptoms for about three
to ten years. Few develop symptoms earlier while few others may not develop any
symptoms for more than ten years. Even if a person does not have symptoms, he/she can
transmit the infection to others. This is why it is recommended that anyone who has sex
with a partner who is not in mutually faithful relationship should use condoms for every sex.

196
(b)
A normal person has about 500 to 1500 CD4 cells per millilitre of blood. When the
CD4 count decreases below 200, people with HIV can present with opportunistic infections,
which are infections, that affect the body because of poor immunity. Opportunistic
infections are caused by bacteria, virus, fungus and parasites. They may also get some
types of cancer.
(c)
When HIV progresses to AIDS, the infected person would have had unexplained
weight loss of more than ten percent, unexplained diarrhoea or fever for more than one
month, fungal infections, tuberculosis or severe bacterial infections.
12.
Tuberculosis. Since tuberculosis is already one of the major health problems in India,
people with HIV infection are at higher risk of getting it. Very often, tuberculosis is the first
indication that a person has HIV infection. Although tuberculosis largely affects the lungs, it can
affect other organs of the body also. People with AIDS are more likely to get infection in other
organs of the body. One of the major concerns related with tuberculosis and AIDS is resistance of
the tuberculosis bacteria to several medicines that were earlier effective for its treatment. Common
symptoms of tuberculosis include cough, fever, increased sweating at nights, loss of weight and
excessive fatigue.
13.

HIV Prevention.
(a)

HIV/AIDS can be prevented in four main ways:(i)

Being in a mutually faithful sexual relationship. If this is not possible, then
correct and consistent use of condoms for every sexual act, irrespective of the type
of sex is essential.
(ii)
Checking all the blood and blood products for HIV infection before
transfusion.
(iii)
Avoiding drug abuse, especially sharing needles and syringes for injecting
drugs.
(iv)
Reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission by following
recommended guidelines for preventing parent to child transmission of HIV
infection.

(b)
Condom Use. Condoms have two main advantages-they prevent infections such
as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV, and also prevent pregnancy. Many
people use condoms only for commercial sex. It is important to remember that anyone who
is not in a mutually faithful sexual relationship should use condoms for every sex. There
are some myths about the use of condoms which are not true. These are:(i)
Some people argue that condoms do not offer complete protection. This is
not true. It is only the inconsistent and incorrect use of condoms, which may lead to
contacting STD or HIV.
(ii)
Some people complain that condoms, especially those that are distributed
free by the government, are probably not of good quality and therefore break during
sexual act. These complaints are not valid, as several strict quality control methods
are adopted during condom manufacturing.
(iii)
A belief that condoms reduce sexual pleasure, is one of the major barriers to
condom use. This is also not true. There may be a difference in the sensation in the
initial stages of using condoms but most people adapt to them very soon.

197
(c)
Preventing Parent to Child Transmission. NACO has set up Prevention of
Parent to Child Transmission (PPTCT) centres in all districts of the six states where HIV
infection is high and in several other hospitals in other states. In these centres, pregnant
women are counselled and tested for HIV. If they are positive, they are given medicines for
HIV at the time of delivery and caesarean section is done to surgically deliver the baby.
This reduces the risk of infection for the newborn from about 45% to less than 2%.
14.
Ethical Issues Related to HIV Infection. Ethical issues related to HIV infection are
mainly for ensuring that a person with HIV infection leads a life of dignity. HIV testing should not be
done without informed consent of the person to be tested. This means that the person to be tested
should have understood what test results would mean and its likely impact on his/her life. People
with HIV infection have as much right to get education, employment and medical treatment from
any source as everyone else.
PART III : ROLE OF THE YOUTH IN PREVENTING HIV / AIDS
15.
HIV is more common in the most productive age group of 15-45 years, and therefore
causes major impacts on the economic status of the affected individual, family, community, and
the nation at large. The young adults can play a very important role in preventing the HIV at
community level, and also minimise its impact at all levels by taking following actions :(a)
Youth can assume responsibility in preventing HIV infections by avoiding behaviour
that might lead to HIV infections.
(b)
Youth may also share the right to refuse sex and assume responsibility for ensuring
safe sex.
(c)
People living with HIV/AIDS have the same right to education, employment, health,
travel, marriage, recreation, privacy, social security, scientific benefits etc. Hence, all
should share responsibilities for avoiding HIV infection / re-infection.
(d)
The youth by creating a proper and positive peer pressure, can delay the age at
first sex, avoid sex before marriage, practicing safer sex, and preventing alcohol and drug
abuse. The stereotypical image of a macho male needs to be changed to depict
responsible behaviours.
(e)
The young can also play an important role in addressing gender imbalance, which
is one of the important factors for underdevelopment and HIV transmission.
(f)
Youth should also educate general public by spreading the information that HIV can
not be transmitted by the following actions:(i)

Shaking Hands.

(ii)

Sharing of Clothes.

(iii)

Sharing of Food and Utensils.

(iv)

Sharing of Toilets.

(v)

Insect Bites.

(vi)

Hugging or Kissing.

(vii)

Working in the same office or travelling in the same vehicle.

(viii)

Playing or swimming with the infected person.

198
(ix)
Coughing, sneezing or in routine patient-care activities (bed - making,
feeding etc).
CONCLUSION
16.
HIV can be transmitted from person to person only if the body fluids like blood, semen and
vaginal fluids come in contact with body fluids of an HIV infected or AIDS patient. Young people,
with or without HIV/AIDS, have an important role to play in actively countering discrimination
against young people living with HIV/ AIDS. We require to provide a platform for people living with
HIV/AIDS, so that we work together according to their interests. We also need to mobilize support
of local authorities and community leaders to listen to people living with HIV/AIDS and to combat
actively against their discrimination and exclusion. Setting up training programmes, to improve the
integration of the young people suffering from HIV/AIDS into society, is the need of the hour.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Counter-terrorism incorporates the practices, tactics, techniques, and strategies that
governments, militaries, police departments and corporations adopt to attack terrorist threats
and/or acts, both real and imputed. The tactic of terrorism is available to insurgents and
governments. Not all insurgents use terror as a tactic, and some choose not to use it because
other tactics work better for them in a particular context. If the terrorism is part of a broader
insurgency, counter-terrorism may also form a part of a counter-insurgency doctrine, but political,
economic, and other measures may focus more on the insurgency than the specific acts of terror.
Counter-terrorism includes both the detection of potential acts and the response to related events.

5.

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Terrorism and Terrorist Methods / Strategy.

(b)

Part II

Methods to Counter Terrorism.

PART I : TERRORISM AND TERRORIST METHODS / STRATEGY

6.
General. Terrorism has often been an effective tactic for the weaker side in a conflict. As
an asymmetric form of conflict, it confers coercive power with many of the advantages of military
force at a fraction of the cost. Due to the secretive nature and small size of terrorist organizations,
they often offer opponents no clear organization to defend against or to deter. The strategy of
terrorists is to commit acts of violence that draws the attention of the local populace, the

200
government, and the world to their cause. The terrorists plan their attack to obtain the greatest
publicity, choosing targets that symbolize what they oppose. The effectiveness of the terrorist act
lies not in the act itself, but in the publics or governments reaction to the act.
7.
Definition. The United Nations definition of terrorism is "An anxiety-inspiring method of
repeated violent action, employed by (semi-) clandestine individual, group or state actors, for
idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby - in contrast to assassination - the direct
targets of violence are not the main targets."
8.

Aim of Terrorists. A terrorist group commits acts of violence to :

(a)

Produce widespread fear.

(b)
Obtain worldwide, national, or local recognition for their cause by attracting the
attention of the media.
(c)
Harass, weaken, or embarrass government security forces so that the the
government overreacts and appears repressive.
(d)
Steal or extort money and equipment, especially weapons and ammunition vital to
the operation of their group.
(e)
Destroy facilities or disrupt lines of communication in order to create doubt that the
government can provide for and protect its citizens.
(f)
Discourage foreign investments, tourism, or assistance programs that can affect the
target countrys economy and support of the government in power.
(g)

Influence government decisions, legislation, or other critical decisions.

(h)

Free prisoners.

(i)

Satisfy vengeance.

(j)
Turn the tide in a guerrilla war by forcing government security forces to concentrate
their efforts in urban areas. This allows the terrorist group to establish itself among the local
populace in rural areas.
9.

Type of Terrorist Acts. The most common types of terrorist incidents include:(a)
Bombings. Bombings are the most common type of terrorist act. Typically,
improvised explosive devices are inexpensive and easy to make. Modern devices are
smaller and are harder to detect. They contain very destructive capabilities causing huge
damage especially in crowded places. Terrorists can also use materials that are readily
available to the average consumer to construct a bomb.
(b)
Kidnappings and Hostage-Takings. Terrorists use kidnapping and hostage-taking
to establish a bargaining position and to elicit publicity. If a kidnapping is successful, it can
gain terrorists money, release of jailed comrades, and publicity for an extended period.
Hostage-taking involves the seizure of a facility or location and the taking of hostages.
Hostage-taking provokes a confrontation with authorities. It forces authorities to either
make dramatic decisions or to comply with the terrorists demands.
(c)
Armed Attacks and Assassinations. Armed attacks include raids and ambushes.
Assassinations are the killing of a selected victim, usually by bombings or small arms.
Drive-by shootings is a common technique employed by unsophisticated or loosely

201
organized terrorist groups. Historically, terrorists have assassinated specific individuals for
psychological effect.
(d)
Arsons and Fire Bombings. Incendiary devices are cheap and easy to hide.
Arson and fire bombings are easily conducted by terrorist groups that may not be as wellorganized, equipped, or trained as a major terrorist organization. An arson or firebombing
against a utility, hotel, government building, or industrial center portrays an image that the
ruling government is incapable of maintaining order.
(e)
Hijackings and Skyjackings. Hijacking is the seizure by force of a surface vehicle,
its passengers, and/or its cargo. Skyjacking is the taking of an aircraft, which creates a
mobile, hostage barricade situation. It provides terrorists with hostages from many nations
and draws heavy media attention. Skyjacking also provides mobility for the terrorists to
relocate the aircraft to a country that supports their cause and provides them with a human
shield, making retaliation difficult.
(f)

Other Types of Terrorist Incidents.

(i)
Maimings. Terrorist groups conduct maimings against their own people as
a form of punishment for security violations, defections, or informing.
(ii)
Robberies and Extortion. Terrorist organizations also conduct robberies
and extortion when they need to finance their acts and they dont have sponsorship
from sympathetic nations.
(iii)
Cyber Terrorism. This is a new form of terrorism that is only going to
increase in profile as we rely on computer networks to relay information and provide
connectivity to todays modern and fast-paced world. Cyber terrorism allows
terrorists to conduct their operations with little or no risk to themselves. It also
provides terrorists an opportunity to disrupt or destroy networks and computers.
The result is interruption of key government or business-related activities. This type
of terrorism isnt as high profile as other types of terrorist attacks, but its impact cab
be very destructive.
PART II : COUNTER TERRORISM

10.
General. Most counter-terrorism strategies involve an increase in standard police and
domestic intelligence. The central activities are traditional: interception of communications, and the
tracing of persons. New technology has, however, expanded the range of military and law
enforcement operations. Domestic intelligence is often directed at specific groups, defined on the
basis of origin or religion, which is a source of political controversy.
11.

Counter Terrorism Strategy. This includes following actions:(a)

Preparation. This includes following action:(i)

Identification of areas of likely terrorist target and keeping such areas under
continuous surveillance / guard and hardening them by creating multi-tiered layer of
security checks / protection / obstacles.
(ii)
Earmarking rapid response teams (QRTs) from local police for immediate
reaction / cordoning of the area.
(iii)

Earmarking specialist units (like NSG) for tackling of terrorist threats.

(iv)
Preparation of plans for requisition of Army / other agencies like fire deptt,
health deptt and bomb disposal units for assistance.

202
(b)
Pre-emptive Action. This involves a 24x7 action plan to track and monitor all
activities of terrorist / terrorist groups. This includes the following:(i)
Collection and Collation of all type of Intelligence of suspected / known
terrorist groups / persons especially foreign travel, financial transactions, face book
/ internet accounts and telephone conversations.
(ii)

Physical Tracking / Surveillance of the suspected persons / groups.

(iii)
Pre-emptive neutralization by apprehension / detention of suspected
persons/ terrorists.
12.
NCTC. In order to counter terrorism, the Central Govt has formulated a new policy and
established an central agency to deal with the threat. This is called the National Counter
Terrorism Center (NCTC). The NCTC will derive its powers from the Unlawful Activities
Prevention Act, 1967. It is to be a part of the Intelligence Bureau and will be headed by a Director
who will report to the Director, IB and the Home Secretary. The NCTC will execute counter-terror
operations and collect, collate and disseminate data on terrorism besides maintaining a data base
on terrorists and their associates including their families. The NCTC has been empowered to
analyse intelligence shared by agencies like the Intelligence Bureau and select what it deems
suitable. It has also been granted powers to conduct searches and arrests in any part of India and
will formulate responses to terror threats.

CONCLUSION
13.
Countering terrorism is not the responsibility of the govt alone. As citizens and NCC
cadets, it is our responsibility that, we act as eyes and ears of the state machinery, for collection
of any terrorist related info. Also, at the time of need we can be part of the assistance to be
provided in a terrorist incident.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International, currently ranks the national
perception of corruption in India to be 87th highest in the world (in an index of 182 positions).
However, the real signicance of perceptions of corruption does not lie in the extent to which
phenomena such as bribery are perceived to be prevalent across society. A more important
assessment is of how differing forms of corruption are deemed to be concentrated at different
levels of the state. In India, public scandals of the previous twenty years, which link numerous
elected politicians and even government ministers to repeated acts of parliamentary corruption,
embezzlement, land seizure, blackmail, extortion, kidnap and murder, serve to erode the
assumption of legitimate political authority and the efcacy of the ballot box.

(b)

Part II

Methods of Corruption and Preventive Measures.

PART I : TYPES OF CORRUPTION

6.
Definition. The word corrupt means to abuse or destroy. Corruption can therefore be
defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gains. It hurts everyone who depends on the
integrity of people in a position of authority.

204
7.

Types of Corruption.
(a)
Petty Corruption. "Petty" corruption occurs at a smaller scale and occurs within
established social frameworks and governing norms. Examples include the exchange of
small improper gifts or use of personal connections to obtain favors. This form of corruption
is particularly common in developing countries and where public servants are significantly
underpaid.
(b)
Grand Corruption. "Grand" corruption is defined as corruption occurring at the
highest levels of government, in a way that requires significant subversion of the political,
legal and economic systems. Such corruption is commonly found in countries with
authoritarian or dictatorial governments and in those without adequate policing of
corruption by anti-corruption agencies.
(c)
Systemic Corruption. Systemic corruption is, corruption which is primarily due to
the weaknesses of an organization or process. It can be contrasted with individual officials
or agents who act corruptly within the system. Factors which encourage systemic
corruption include conflicting incentives, discretionary powers; monopolistic powers; lack
of transparency; low pay; and a culture of impunity.

8.
Different Sectors of Corruption. Corruption can occur in many different economic sectors
whether it be public or private, industry or even NGOs as under:(a)
Government / Public Sector. Public / government sector corruption is one of the
more dangerous forms of corruption, as corruption of the governing body can lead to
widespread effects.
(b)
Legislative System (Political). Political corruption is the abuse of public power,
office, or resources by elected government officials for personal gain, e.g. by extortion,
soliciting or offering bribes It can also take the form of office holders maintaining
themselves in office by purchasing votes by enacting laws which use taxpayers' money.
(c)
Executive System (Police). Police corruption is a specific form of police
misconduct, designed to obtain financial benefits, other personal gain, and / or career
advancement for a police officer or officers, in exchange for not pursuing, or selectively
pursuing, an investigation or arrest.
(d)
Judiciary System. Judicial Corruption refers to corruption related misconduct of
judges, through receiving or giving bribes, improper sentencing of convicted criminals, bias
in the hearing and judgement of arguments and other such misconduct.
(e)
Corporate. As corporations and business entities grow larger, sometimes with a
monetary turnover many times that of small countries, the threat of corruption in the
business world, within the organization, in dealings with other organisations and in dealings
with the government is a looming and growing threat. Companies may also indulge in
political corruption.
(f)
Unions. Labour unions were formed to protect and further the rights of employees
via collective bargaining. However, as with other entities, corruption has been known to
happen within the organizations. In addition, some unions have been infiltrated by, or
associated with organized crime syndicates.
(g)
Non-Government Organizations. NGOs and other non-profit organizations are not
immune to corruption and may be linked to political corruption.

205
PART II : METHODS OF CORRUPTION AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES
9.
Methods of Corruption. Corruption can occur in many ways. The use of both positive and
negative inducements to encourage the misuse of power is well known. In addition, favouring of
friends and relatives in a way that is not directly beneficial to the corrupt individual, is a form of
corruption. In systemic corruption and grand corruption, multiple methods of corruption are used
concurrently with similar aims. Some of the methods of corruption are as under:(a)
Bribery. Bribery is the improper use of gifts and favours in exchange for personal
gain. This is also known as kickbacks or baksheesh. It is the most common form of
corruption. The types of favours given are diverse and include money, gifts, sexual favours,
company shares, entertainment, employment and political benefits. The personal gain that
is given can be anything from actively giving preferential treatment to having an indiscretion
or crime overlooked.
(b)
Embezzlement, Theft and Fraud. Embezzlement and theft involves someone with
access to funds or assets, illegally taking control of them. Fraud involves using deception
to convince the owner of funds or assets, to give them up to an unauthorized party eg,
misdirection of company funds into "shadow companies" and then into the pockets of
corrupt employees, or the skimming of foreign aid money, scams and other corrupt activity.
(c)
Extortion and Blackmail. While bribery is the use of positive inducements for
corrupt aims, extortion and blackmail centre around the use of threats. This can be the
threat of violence or false imprisonment as well as exposure of an individual's secrets or
prior crimes. This also includes such behaviour as an influential person, threatening to go
to the media, if they do not receive speedy medical treatment (at the expense of other
patients), or threatening a public official with exposure of their secrets, if they do not vote in
a particular manner, or demanding money in exchange for continued secrecy.
(d)
Abuse of Discretion. Abuse of discretion refers to the misuse of one's powers and
decision-making facilities. Examples include a judge improperly dismissing a criminal case
or a customs official using their discretion to allow a banned substance through a port.
(e)
Favouritism, Nepotism and Clientelism. This involves the favouring of not the
perpetrator of corruption, but someone related to them, such as a friend, family member or
member of an association. Examples would include hiring a family member to a role they
are not qualified for, or promoting a staff member who belongs to the same political party
as you, regardless of merit.
(f)
Improper Political Donations. This is the use of contributions / donations to
political parties to secure illicit power, not because one favours their policies. An example
would be tobacco or alcohol companies funding major political parties, as a means of
influencing the policing of their industry. It can be difficult to differentiate between proper
and improper use of political contributions.
10.
Prevention of Corruption. Removing corruption form our society is extremely difficult.
However, some of the methods by which corruption can be reduced are:(a)
Proper education of all sections of society that corruption in any form is bad and will
not be tolerated.
(b)

Dont give bribe or favours to any one nor take bribes / favours from any one.

(c)

Highlighting / Reporting of cases of corruption.

(d)

Speedy trial and exemplary punishment for persons involved in corruption.

206
(e)

Ensuring transparency in all dealings.

(f)

Dealing with corruption in higher echelons.

(g)

Strict implementation of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

(h)

Full freedom to Lok Pal or Lok Ayukt to investigate cases of corruption.

(j)

Simplifying routine procedures to prevent corruption.

CONCLUSION

11.
Corruption in any form is bad and not acceptable. If we want to eradicate corruption, we
must all take a pledge not to form part of the chain of corruption either as a giver or as a taker.
Also we must ensure that, any person who makes a demand for bribes or gratification, must be
promptly reported to the authorities for remedial action.

INTRODUCTION
3.
India is a large heterogeneous society with varied castes, cultural, religion and economic
strata. Due to various customs, a large no of myths and beliefs are prevalent in the society. These
have given birth to various kinds of social evils like dowry, female foeticide, gender bias, child
abuse and trafficking etc.

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Female Foeticide.

(b)

Part II

Dowry.

(c)

Part III

Child Abuse.
PART I : FEMALE FOETICIDE

6.
Definition. Female foeticide is the selective abortion / elimination of the girl child in the
womb itself, done deliberately by the mother, after the detection of the childs gender through
medical means. This is usually done under family pressure from the husband or the in-laws or even
the womans parents.

208

7.

Causes of Female Foeticide. The main causes / reasons for female foeticide are:(a)
Fanatic Desire / Preference to Have a Male Child. Elimination / removal of girls
from the family tree, even before they are born, clearly indicates the vehement desire for a
boy child. The core factor is the need to continue the family line, through the male born into
it. Sons are seen as the main source of income and the belief that they will look after the
family and the old age parents.
(b)
Unwanted Pregnancy. Though most people cite this as an excuse for medical
termination of Pregnancy (MTP) but, it is generally the course taken after sex determination
test proves of a female foetus.
(c)
Foul Medical Ethics. This process began in the early 1990s, when ultrasound
techniques gained widespread use in India. There was a tendency for families to continue
producing children, until a male child was born. Also, the unethical sex determination and
selective abortion of female infants has become a booming US $224 million industry, with
lucrative incentives.
(d)
Dowry System. In India, the age old custom of dowry system puts a damper on
the parents spirits who are blessed with a girl child. Right then and there, begin the
calculations associated with marriage expenses, which may happen after a couple of
decades, following the childs first breath. Girls are seen more as a burden and some think
that it would be so much better to get rid of them ,with just a fraction of the amount.
(e)
Deteriorated Status of Women. Centuries of repression has made inferiority
second nature to most women. They willingly embrace the role of the meek, submissive,
docile wife, who works relentlessly to cater to the whims of her husband. Female foeticide
happens with the explicit consent of the mother.

8.

Effects of Female Foeticide.

(a)
Skewed Sex Ratio. In India, the number of girls per 1000 boys is declining with
each passing decade. From 962 for every 1000 boys in the years 1981 the sex ratio had
plummeted to an all time low of only 914 girls for 1000 boys in 2011.
(b)
Female / Women Trafficking. The steep decline in the number of girls makes them
scarce for the teaming number of males eligible for marriage. As a solution to this issue,
illegal trafficking of women has become commonplace in many regions. Women, often
young girls whove just crossed the threshold of puberty, are compelled to marry for a price
fixed by the groom-to be.
(c)
Increase in Rape and Assault. Once women become an endangered species, it is
only a matter of time before the instances of rape, assault and violence become
widespread. The legal system may offer protection, but as is the situation today, many
cases might not even surface for fear of isolation and humiliation on the girls part.
(d)
Population Decline. With no mothers or wombs to bear a child (male or female),
there would be fewer births, leading to a decline in the countrys overall population.

9.
Measures to Prevent Female Foeticide. Of the numerous steps taken to curb the matter,
the prominent ones are:(a)
Cancellation / permanent termination of the doctors license who partakes in
fulfilling a clients demand to do away with her girl child.

209
(b)
Heavy penalty imposed on companies like GE, that specialize in marketing medical
equipments used for illegal sex determination and abortion in unlicensed clinics and
hospitals.
(c)
High fines and judicial action against parents who knowingly try to kill their unborn
baby.
(d)
Widespread campaigns and seminars for young adults and potential parents to
enlighten them about the ill effects of female feticide. Ignorance is one of the major causes
for the increase in the selective sex abortion cases. Spreading awareness can go a long
way in saving our future sisters, mothers, girlfriends and wives.
(e)

High incentives for the girl child in education, employment etc.

(f)

Equal rights for women in the property of the parents / husband.

PART II : DOWRY

10.
General. In India, dowry is the payment in cash or some kind of gifts given to
bridegrooms family along with the bride. Generally they include cash, jewellery electrical
appliances, furniture, bedding, crockery, utensils and other household items that help the newlywed set up her home. As per the book Genocide of Women in Hinduism authored by Sita
Agarwal, over the last 65 years, more than 50 million female children have been murdered as a
result of Vedic dowry and infanticide laws. The Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 states that: If any
person, gives or takes or abets the giving or taking of dowry, he shall be punishable with
imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than five years, and with fine which shall not be
less than fifteen thousand rupees or the amount of the value of such dowry, whichever is more.
11.

Causes of Dowry System.

(a)
Devine Sanction. Dowry is one of the most ancient practices of India. The Vedas
prescribe that a dowry be given by the brides family to the groom. Thus, in order to
marry Sita to Rama, her father had to supply her with 100 crores of gold mohurs, 10,000
carriages, 10 lakh horses, 60,000 elephants, 100000 male slaves, 50000 female slaves, 2
crores of cows, 100000 pearls, and many other items. Thus most people think that it is
legal as per the vedic rights.
(b)
Growing Economic Inequality. This fuels the desire to ask for more and more
cash or gifts to persue a lavish life style or other ventures.
(c)
Increasing Unemployment of Males. In order to prove their status, unemployed
males are growingly demanding more and more dowry to fulfill their desires.
(d)
Parental Compulsions. In order to find a good match for their daughter, well to do
parents are offering huge dowry. This adds fuel to the growing demand for dowry.

12.

Effects of Dowry System.

(a)

Increase in Domestic Violence.

(b)

Increase in Mortgage and Loans.

(c)

Female Foeticide.

(d)

Female Trafficking.

(e)

False Dowry Allegations.

210
13.
Prevention of Dowry. Society and we as a member of the society can do a lot to prevent
offences related to dowry by taking the following steps:(a)

Start practicing dowry prohibition in your family. Dont take or accept dowry.

(b)
Educate the members of your family with the provisions of law that demanding
and accepting or giving dowry is an offence.
(c)
A woman is an important member of family and is entitled to all the rights and
privileges a man enjoys. Educate the members of your family and your neighbors to
respect a womans rights and privileges.
(d)
Encourage women folk to raise their voice about their rights and to fight against
dowry system.
PART III : CHILD ABUSE
14.

General.
(a)
India is home to almost 19 percent of the worlds children. More than one third of
the countrys population, around 440 million, is below 18 years. According to one
assumption 40 percent of these children are in need of care and protection, which indicates
the extent of the problem. In a country like India with its multicultural, multi-ethnic and multireligious population, the problems of socially marginalized and economically backward
groups are immense. Within such groups the most vulnerable section is always the
children.
(b)
Child abuse is a state of emotional, physical, economic and sexual maltreatment
meted out to a person below the age of eighteen and is a globally prevalent phenomenon.
Child abuse is a violation of the basic human rights of a child and is an outcome of a set of
inter-related familial, social, psychological and economic factors. Child abuse has serious
physical and psycho-social consequences which adversely affect the health and overall
well-being of a child.

15.
Definition. According to WHO: Child abuse or maltreatment constitutes all forms of
physical and / or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect or negligent treatment or
commercial or other exploitation, resulting in actual or potential harm to the childs health, survival,
development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust or power.
16.

Forms of Child Abuse. Child Abuse can be of following forms:(a)

Physical Abuse. Physical abuse is inflicting physical injury upon a child. This may
include hitting, shaking, kicking, beating, or otherwise harming a child physically.
(b)
Emotional Abuse. Emotional abuse (also known as verbal abuse, mental abuse,
and psychological maltreatment) includes acts or the failure to act by parents, caretakers,
peers and others that have caused or could cause serious behavioural, cognitive,
emotional, or mental distress/trauma.
(c)
Sexual Abuse. Sexual abuse is inappropriate sexual eighbor with a child. It
includes fondling a childs genitals, making the child fondle an adults genitals, sexual
assault (intercourse, incest, rape and sodomy), exhibitionism and pornography. To be
considered child abuse, these acts have to be committed by a person responsible for the
care of a child or related to the child (for example a baby-sitter, parent, eighbor, relatives,
extended family member, peer, older child, friend, stranger, or a day-care provider).

211
(d)
Child Neglect. Child neglect is an act of omission or commission leading to the
denial of a childs basic needs. Neglect can be physical, educational, emotional or
psychological. Physical neglect entails denial of food, clothing, appropriate medical care or
supervision. It may include abandonment. Educational neglect includes failure to provide
appropriate schooling or special educational needs. Psychological neglect includes lack of
emotional support and love.

Child Abuse in India. A National Study on Child Abuse conducted in the year 2005 by the
Ministry of Child and Women Welfare. This study, which is the largest of its kind undertaken
anywhere in the world, covered 13 states with a sample size of 12447 children, 2324 young adults
and 2449 stakeholders. It looked at different forms of child abuse: Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse
and Emotional Abuse and Girl Child Neglect in five different evidence groups, namely, children in a
family environment, children in school, children at work, children on the street and children in
institutions. The major findings of the study are as under:(a)
It is the young children, in the 5-12 year age group, who are most at risk of abuse
and exploitation.
(b)

Physical Abuse.
(i)

Two out of every three children were physically abused.

(iii)
Over 50% children were being subjected to one or the other form of physical
abuse.
(iv)

88.6% children were physically abused by parents.

48.4% of girls wished they were boys.

CONCLUSION

18.
Social Evils are mostly born due to poor education, misplaced beliefs, unemployment and
inequitable distribution of wealth. Social Evils are a disease on the society and have disastrous
long term effects. We need to take concerted action to eradicate these evils from society. Although
many laws / legislations presently exist to prevent the social evils, but the wholehearted
participation of the people will only force their implementation. Hence we must all educate
ourselves, as also our family and neighbours to take all necessary steps to eradicate all types of
social evils form society.

INTRODUCTION

(q)

Government of India is continuously working towards empowering its citizens

through various legislations, acts, rules, programmes and projects. Some of the
most prominent ones introduced in the recent past are the famous and powerful
Right to Information (RTI) and Right To Education (RTE) acts. As we are aware, it
is very essential for a person to have knowledge about the subject of interest,
especially related to the Government, RTI is towards this end. Similarly, literacy or
lack of it is a key factor for development of any nation. Enhancement of literacy,
hence, is one of the primary duties of the Governments at Centre as well as States.
RTE is towards this goal so that no one is denied an opportunity to get basic
education.

(b)

Part II

RTE.

PART I : RIGHT TO INFORMATION (RTI) ACT 2005

6.
The Indian Parliament had enacted the Freedom of Information Act, 2002 in order to
promote, transparency and accountability in administration. The National Common Minimum
Program of the Government envisaged that Freedom of Information Act will be made more

214
progressive, participatory and meaningful, following which, decision was made to repeal the
Freedom of Information Act, 2002 and enact a new legislation in its place. Accordingly, Right to
Information Bill, 2004 (RTI) was passed by both the Houses of Parliament on May, 2005 which
received the assent of the President on 15th June, 2005. The Right to Information Act was
notified in the Gazette of India on 21st June, 2005. The The Right to Information Act became fully
operational from 12th October, 2005. This new law empowers Indian citizens to seek any
accessible information from a Public Authority and makes the Government and its functionaries
more accountable and responsible.
7.

Important Provisions of the Act.

(a)
RTI mandates timely response to citizen requests for government information. It is
an Act to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to
secure access to information under the control of public authorities.
(b)
In order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public
authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information
Commissions are enshrined in the act.

The Act covers the whole of India except Jammu and Kashmir, where J&K Right to
Information Act is in force. It is applicable to all constitutional authorities, including the
executive, legislature and judiciary; any institution or body established or constituted by an
act of Parliament or a state legislature.
(d)
It is also defined in the Act that bodies or authorities established or constituted by
order or notification of appropriate government including bodies owned, controlled or
substantially financed by government, or non-Government organizations substantially
financed, directly or indirectly by funds provided by the government are also covered in it.
Private bodies are not within the Acts ambit directly.

denied to the Parliament or a State Legislature shall not be denied by this exemption).
(k)
Notwithstanding any of the exemptions listed above, a public authority may allow
access to information, if public interest in disclosure outweighs the harm to the protected
interests. (NB: This provision is qualified by the proviso to sub-section 11(1) of the Act
which exempts disclosure of trade or commercial secrets protected by law under this
clause when read along with 8(1)(d)).
PART II : RIGHT TO INFORMATION (RTI) ACT 20100
11.

General.
(a)
Sixty-three years after independence, India Thursday, the 1st April 2010 enforced a
historic Right to Education (RTE) act that promises freedom from illiteracy for this vast and
diverse country. With this act, India became one of 135 countries to make education a
fundamental right of every child.
(b)
The Act makes education a fundamental right of every child between the ages of 6
and 14 and specifies minimum norms in elementary schools. It requires all private schools
to reserve 25% of seats to children from poor families (to be reimbursed by the state as
part of the public-private partnership plan).

It also prohibits all unrecognized schools from practice, and makes provisions for no
donation or capitation fees and no interview of the child or parent for admission.
(d)
The RTE act requires surveys that will monitor all neighbourhoods, identify children
requiring education, and set up facilities for providing it. The RTE Act is the first legislation
in the world that puts the responsibility of ensuring enrolment, attendance and completion
of education on the Government.

12.

Main Highlights of RTE Act. Following are the key points of the legislation:(a)

Free and compulsory education to all children of India in the six to 14 age group.

(b)
No child shall be held back, expelled, or required to pass a board examination until
completion of elementary education (up to class eight).

216

A child who completes elementary education (upto Class 8) shall be awarded a

certificate.
(d)

Calls for a fixed student-teacher ratio.

(e)

Will apply to all of India except Jammu and Kashmir.

(e)

recognition will be cancelled.
(j)
Financial burden will be shared between state and central government on the basis
of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (Education for All).
(s)

Private schools to face penalty for violating RTE.

CONCLUSION

13.
The powerful Acts of Government of India, RTI Act 2005 and RTE Act 2010 have been
implemented with a sole aim of empowering the citizens of India. If implemented in a proper way,
these acts will have the desired effects of bringing transparency & accountability in the public
offices as well as literacy enhancement, particularly in rural India.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Expansion in the road network, surge in motorization and a rising population of a country
contribute towards increasing numbers of road accidents, leading to injuries and fatalities. Road
accidents are a human tragedy, which involve high human suffering. They impose a huge socioeconomic cost in terms of untimely deaths, injuries and loss of potential income. The ramifications
of road accidents can be colossal and its negative impact is felt, not only on individuals, their
health and welfare, but also on the economy. Consequently, road safety has become an issue of
national concern.

Inspectors, Assistant sub Inspectors (ASIs), Head Constables and Constables. The
strength depends on the size of the city or town and the traffic that is to be managed.
(b)
For control of traffic, a city / town is divided into Zones and Divisions. Each Zone is
under a ACP and a Division under an Inspector. In addition there is a Control Room, which
monitors all Traffic Cameras and communications.
PART II : ANTI DRUNKEN DRIVING

General
8.
An act of drunk driving can be described as driving a vehicle (including wheelchairs) under
the influence of alcohol. Drunken driving is an offence in India, like many other countries
worldwide. The object of making it an offence under law is to improve road safety by seeking to
bring down the number of accidents and fatalities caused by drivers fault. We really cant blame
the authorities for thinking that, what with daily news of some drunken late-night-partygoer mowing
down footpath dwellers. With statistics saying that almost 78% of all road accidents in India are
caused due to drivers fault. Drunk driving is the cause of approx. 39% of all casualties.
9.
Law. In India, while driving a motor vehicle, if a person has a Blood Alcohol Level (BAC)
exceeding 30 mg of intake per 100 ml of blood detected by a Breathalyzer, he or she is booked
under 'first offense'. This consists of imprisonment for a term, which may extend up to six months
or with a fine up to two thousand rupees or both. For a second or subsequent offense, if committed
within three years of the commission of the previous similar offense, he or she will face an
imprisonment of a term, which may extend to two years, or with fine, which may extend to three
thousand rupees or with both.

219
10.
As per the Department of Road Transport and Highways, in 2011, there were a total of
4,92,686 road accidents in India which resulted in 5,27,512 deaths and 5,11,394 persons
wounded. Drivers fault resulted in nearly 78 % of these accidents. The intake of alcohol / drugs by
drivers resulted in 31,000 road accidents and 9,976 fatalities. As a proportion of total accidents
and deaths due to drivers fault, intake of alcohol / drugs accounted for 8.0 per cent and 9.9 per
cent, respectively.
11.

The most common violators of drunk driving have been identified as under:(a)

Children between 16-25 yrs of age.

(b)

Most truck drivers.

(c)

Most people returning from pubs / parties in cities.

(d)

After New Year parties or Holi celebrations.

Prevention
12.

The following measures can prevent deaths / accidents due to drunk driving:(a)

Dont drive after drinks under any circumstances.

(b)

Strict checking and penalty by police, if found drunk while driving.

(c)

Change of Laws to make it more serious a offence.

(d)

Report cases of drunk driving to police.

CONCLUSION

14.
The role of Alcohol in traffic safety has produced more controversies than any other topic.
After drinking, the judgment power of the driver gets impaired - a threat to road safety. Due to its
effects, driver tends to take more risks, becomes more aggressive and takes a longer reaction
time. It has been well established that the relative probability of causing crash increases with the
rising blood alcohol levels keeping road safety at stake. Thus we must ensure that nither do we
drive after drinking nor do we allow others to do this.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Literacy or lack of it is a key factor for development of any nation. Enhancement of literacy,
hence, is one of the primary duties of the Governments at Centre as well as States. All other
issues like economic development, health index, employment availability, industrial development,
poverty etc can be linked to the basic issue of literacy or lack of it. As a future citizen of India, it is
very essential that we know about the state of literacy in India and various initiative of the
Governments for literacy enhancement.
4.
For a developing nation like India, another root cause problem is that of poverty. Since
independence, successive Governments have initiated many programmes and schemes for
poverty alleviation. We must do everything possible to eradicate poverty from our society and help
Governments to achieve this.

225
PART I : LITERACY ENHANCEMENT IN INDIA
General
7.
Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, listen, and communicate effectively. Literacy is
the ability to read and write one's own name and further for knowledge and
interest, write coherently, and think critically about the written word. The United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines literacy as the "ability to
identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written
materials associated with varying contexts.
8.
The Literacy rate in India has improved a lot over the last one decade, especially after the
implementation of free education in the villages, the literacy rate has gone up tremendously. As
per the data published by the 2011 census, India has managed to achieve an effective literacy rate
of 74.04 per cent in 2011. There are almost 74 per cent literates that constitute the total population
of India aged between seven and above. As per the report, effective literacy rates (age 7 and
above) in 2011 were 82.14% for men and 65.46% for women. The census provided a positive
indication that growth in female literacy rates (11.8%) was substantially faster than in male literacy
rates (6.9%) in the 20012011 decadal period, which means the gender gap appears to be
narrowing. It is estimated that by the year 2020 over 50% of the illiterate population will live in
India.

9.

Reasons for Low Literacy Rate in India. Some of the reasons for low literacy rates in
India are:(a)
Inadequate / Poor Infrstructure. Study of 188 government-run primary schools in
central and northern India revealed that 59% of the schools had no drinking water facility
and 89% no toilets. In 600,000 villages and multiplying urban slum habitats, free and
compulsory education is the basic literacy instruction dispensed by barely qualified para
teachers. The average Pupil - Teacher Ratio for All India is 1:42, implying teacher
shortage. It is estimated that at least 35 million, and possibly as many as 60 million,
children aged 614 years are not in school.
(b)
Caste System. Discrimination of lower castes has resulted in high dropout rates
and low enrolment rates. The National Sample Survey Organization and the National
Family Health Survey collected data in India on the percentage of children completing
primary school which are reported to be only 36.8% and 37.7% respectively.
(c)
Poverty. Absolute poverty in India has also deterred the pursuit of formal education
as education is not deemed of as the highest priority among the poor as compared to other
basic necessities.
(d)
Gender Bias. The large proportion of illiterate females is another reason for low
literacy in India. Inequality based on gender differences resulted in female literacy rates
being lower at 65.46% than that of their male counterparts at 82.14%. Less than 2% of girls
who engaged in agriculture work attended school.
(e)
Lack of Political Will. At the time of independence, the literacy rate of India was
only 12 %. The fact that we needed to invest more in education was well established, but
successive governments have failed to take the required initiative in this regard. The
expenditure allocated to education was never above 4.3% of the GDP from 19512002
despite the target of 6% laid down by the Kothari Commission.
Literacy Enhancement
10.
Government of India has taken several measures to improve the literacy rate in villages
and towns of India. State Governments have been directed to ensure and improve literacy rate in

226
districts and villages where people are very poor. There has been a good improvement in literacy
rate of India in last 10 years, but there is still a long way to go.
11.

Steps taken by Government of India to Improve Literacy Rate.

(a)
National Literacy Mission. The National Literacy Mission, launched in 1988,
aimed at attaining a literacy rate of 75 per cent by 2007. It imparts functional literacy to nonliterates in the age group of 1535 years. The Total Literacy Campaign is the principal
strategy of the NLM for eradication of illiteracy. The Continuing Education Scheme provides
a learning continuum to the efforts of the Total Literacy and Post literacy programmes.
(b)
Sarva Siksha Abhiyan. The Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (Hindi for Total Literacy
Campaign) was launched in 2001, to ensure that all children in the 614-year age-group
attend school and complete eight years of schooling by 2010. An important component of
the scheme is the Education Guarantee Scheme and Alternative and Innovative Education,
meant primarily for children in areas with no formal school within a one ilometer radius.
The centrally sponsored District Primary Education Programme, launched in 1994, had
opened more than 160,000 new schools by 2005, including almost 84,000 alternative
schools.
(c)
Non-Governmental Efforts. The bulk of Indian illiterates live in the countrys rural
areas, where social and economic barriers play an important role in keeping the lowest
strata of society illiterate. Government programmes alone, however well intentioned, may
not be able to dismantle barriers built over centuries. Major social reformation efforts are
sometimes required to bring about a change in the rural scenario. Several nongovernmental organisations such as ITC, Rotary Club, Lions Club have worked to improve
the literacy rate in India.
(d)
Saakshar Bharat. The Prime Minister of India launched Saakshar Bharat, a
centrally sponsored scheme of Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL),
Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India (GOI), on the
International Literacy Day, 8th September, 2009. It aims to further promote and strengthen
Adult Education, specially of women, by extending educational options to those adults, who
having lost the opportunity of access to formal education and, crossed the standard age for
receiving such education, now feel a need for learning of any type, including, literacy, basic
education (equivalency to formal education), vocational education (skill development),
physical and emotional development, practical arts, applied science, sports, and recreation.
(e)
Right to Education (RTE) Act 2010. The Right of Children to Free and
Compulsory Education Act or Right to Education Act (RTE), which was passed by
the Indian parliament on 4 August 2009, The Act makes education a fundamental right of
every child between the ages of 6 and 14 and specifies minimum norms in elementary
schools. It requires all private schools to reserve 25% of seats to children from poor
families (to be reimbursed by the state as part of the public-private partnership plan). The
Act also provides that no child shall be held back, expelled, or required to pass a board
examination until the completion of elementary education. There is also a provision for
special training of school drop-outs to bring them up to par with students of the same age.
PART II : POVERTY ALLEVIATION

General
12.
Poverty in India is widespread, with the nation estimated to have a third of the world's
poor. In 2010, the World Bank reported that 32.7% of the total Indian people fall below the
international poverty line of US$ 1.25 per day (PPP) while 68.7% live on less than US$ 2 per day.
According to 2010 data from the United Nations Development Programme, an estimated 37.2% of
Indians live below the country's national poverty line. The latest UNICEF data shows that one in
three malnourished children worldwide are found In India, whilst 42% of the nation's children under

227
five years of age are underweight. It also shows that a total of 58% of children under five surveyed
were stunted.
13.
Estimates by NCAER (National Council of Applied Economic Research) show that 48% of
the Indian households earn more than 90,000 (US$1,656.00) annually (or more than US$3 PPP
per person). According to NCAER, in 2009, of the 222 million households in India, the absolutely
poor households (annual incomes below 45,000) accounted for only 15.6% of them or about 35
million (about 200 million Indians). Another 80 million households are in income levels of
45,000 90,000 per year.
14.

Causes for Poverty in India. Some of the causes could be identified as under:(a)
Lack of Market Economy. Lack of market economy and government overregulation and red tape, known as License Raj, is the main cause of poverty in India. While
other Asian countries like China, Singapore and South Korea started with the same poverty
level as India after independence, India adopted a socialist centrally planned, closed
economy. India has started to open its markets since the economic reforms in 1991 which
has cut the poverty rate in half since then.
(b)
High Population Growth Rate. Another cause for poverty in India is the high
population growth rate, although demographers generally agree that this is a symptom
rather than cause of poverty.
(c)
Neglecting Agricultural Sector. While services and industry have grown at
double-digit figures, agriculture growth rate has dropped from 4.8% to 2%. About sixty
percent of the population depends on agriculture whereas, the contribution of agriculture to
the GDP is about eighteen percent. The surplus of labour in agriculture has caused many
people to not have jobs. Farmers are a large vote bank and use their votes to resist
reallocation of land for higher-income industrial projects.

Poverty Alleviation Programmes

15.
In order to alleviate poverty, a large no of programmes have been launched by the
government these are as under:(a)
Jawhar Gram Samridhi Yojna. It was started on 1 April 1999. The main aim of
this programme was development of rural areas. Its secondary objective was to give out
sustained wage employment. This was only given to BPL families.
(b)
National Old Age Pension Scheme(NOAPS). As the name suggest this scheme
provided pension to old people who were above the age of 65 who could not fend for
themselves and did not have any means of subsistence. The pension that was given was
Rs 200 a month. This pension is given by the central government.
(c)
National Family Benefit Scheme(NFBS). This scheme was started in August
1995 by GOI. This scheme provides a sum of Rs 10000 to a person of a family who
becomes the head of the family, after the death of its primary breadwinner. A breadwinner
is a person who is above 18 and who earns the most for the family and the family survives
on his/her earnings. The scheme is for families below the poverty line only.
(d)
National Maternity Benefit Scheme. This scheme provides a sum of 500 Rs to a
pregnant mother for the first two live births. The women have to be older than 19 years of
age. It is given normally 128 weeks before the birth and in case of the death of the child
the women can still avail it.

228
(e)
Annapurna. This scheme was started by the government in 1999-2000 to provide
food to senior citizens who cannot take care of themselves and are not under the targeted
public distribution system(TPDS), and who have no one to take care of them in their
village. This scheme would provide 10 kg of free food grains a month, for the eligible senior
citizens.
(f)
Rural Housing-Indira Awaas Yojana(IAY). This scheme was aimed at creating
housing for everyone. It aimed at creating 20 lakh housing units out of which 13lakhs were
in rural area. This scheme also would give out loans to people at subsidized rates to make
houses.
(g)
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). The
scheme was started in 2005, and guarantees 100 days of paid work to people in the rural
areas. The scheme has proved to be a major boost to Indian rural populations income.
CONCLUSION
16.
Literacy Enhancement and Poverty Alleviation are two important aspects to be tackled on
an urgent basis in order to ensure that our country progresses very fast and become a global
power. We cannot keep saying India Shining on one side and keep having the evils of illiteracy
and poverty as a continuing and unmanageable realities on the other. Though there are many
Government sponsored programmes to tackle these evils, effectiveness and honesty of its
implementing agencies decide the outcome. NCC cadets can play an important role in both these
aspects, particularly literacy.

The class will be conducted in the following parts:(a)

Part I

Skeletal and Muscular System.

(b)

Part II

Organ Systems.

PART I : SKELETAL AND MUSCULAR SYSTEM

Skeletal System
6.
Structures of Bones. The human body has 206 bones of various shapes and sizes. The
bones give shape and firmness to the body, as also it protects the vital organs like brain, heart,
lungs spinal cord. Bones can either be loosely arranged or densely arranged. The loosely
arranged bone is called spongy bone and densely arranged bone is called compact bone. Some
bones are hollow from inside and filled with bone marrow.
7.

Classification of Bones. Bones can be classified according to their shape as under:(a)

Long Bones. These bones are long and tubular and are confirmed to upper / lower
limbs.
(b)

Short Bones. This bones are short and tubular and are found in the ankle / wrists.

230
(c)
Flat Bones. These bones are flat like plates, e.g. bones of cranium (Skull),
shoulder or hips.
(d)

Irregular Bones. Irregular or mixed shape, eg. vertebral column.

(e)
Sesamoid Bones. They develop in the tendons of the muscles around the joint.
eg. patella.
Muscular System
8.
The muscle forms about half of the total weight of the body and are responsible for body
movement. The muscles form the flesh of the body are under the control of nervous system.
9.

Classification. The muscles of the body are classified into the following types:(a)
Voluntary/Skeletal Muscles. Voluntary muscles or skeletal muscles are attached
to the surface of bones. These muscles form about 47% of the body weight and are either
fiber type or striated type. Most of the skeletal muscles pan from one bone to another
across a joint and by contracting, they act upon the joints and produce movements.
(b)
Involuntary Muscles. These are called involuntary muscles, because they are
controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
(c)
Cardiac Muscles. Though cardiac muscles are striated structurally, they form the
main part of heart wall.
PART II : ORGAN SYSTEMS

10. Circulatory System. The circulatory system consists of the Heart, Blood Vessels and Blood.
Each time the heart contracts, blood is pumped along the blood vessels. It is therefore kept in a
state of continuous motion. By blood circulation, oxygen, nutrients and other substances are
brought to the tissues and the waste products and carbon dioxide formed by the tissue are
constantly removed.
(a)
Heart. The Heart is the most important organ of blood circulation. It is situated in
thorax between the lungs and on to the left side of the body. The size of heart in equal to a
cloned fist and the average wt of heart in a male is about 300 gms, and in a female about
250 gm. It is divided into two compartments, the right and the left. The right side contains
impure blood while left side contains pure blood. Each side is again divided into AURICLEs
and VENTRICLEs. Auricles are the receiving chambers.
(b)
Blood. The blood is also known as the transport system of the body, and plays an
important role in maintenance of life. The total volume of blood contains hemoglobin,
RBC, WBC & platelets.
(c)
Blood Vessels. Blood vessels are tube like structures which carry blood all over
the body for circulation. These are of three types:(i)
Arteries. These are the blood vessels which carry pure blood from the heart
to all parts of the body.
(ii)
Capillaries. These are tiny blood vessels which connect the small arteries &
veins. The exchange of oxygen and nutrition with carbon di oxide by the tissue
takes place in the capillaries.
(iii)
Veins. These blood vessels carry impure blood to the heart. The main veins
are called superior and inferior vena cava.

231
11.
Respiratory System. Respiration or breathing is a process by which, oxygen, obtained
from fresh air, is absorbed in to the blood stream and carbon dioxide, formed by the tissue action,
is removed from the blood and expelled into the air, that is then expired. It is a process essential to
life. It involves the taking in of oxygen and giving out of carbon dioxide. The main organs of
respiratory system are Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, and the Lungs.
12.
Digestive System. Digestion is a mechanical and chemical process by which, complex
food substances are converted into simple substances so that they can be easily absorbed by
blood and utilized by the various tissues of the body according to their requirements. The main
organs of digestive system are mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas,
liver, small intestine and the large intestine
13.
Excretory System. Excretion is a process by which waste products are removed out of
the body. Among the organs that contribute towards the elimination of waste products are the
skin, lungs, kidneys and the gastro-intestinal tract.
(a)
Skin. The skin covers the external surface of the body. Waste matter in the form
of sweat is removed through perspiration by the skin.
(b)

Urinary System. The main organs of the urinary system are:(i)

Kidneys. There are two bean shaped organs situated on the posterior
abdominal wall in the lumbar region. They act as filters in the body, to filter the
waste.
(ii)
Ureters. Ureters are two tubes, which carry the urine from kidney to Urinary
bladder.
(iii)
Urinary Bladders. It is a hallow muscular organ situated in the pelvic cavity.
It is a freely movable organ. Its size and shape varies according to the amount of
urine it contains. It stores the urine.
(iv)
Urethra. It is a tube leading from the floor of the urinary bladder to the
exterior. It is used for excretion of the urine from the body.

14. Nervous System. Internal Balance of the human body is maintained within normal limits
by the nervous system and the endocrine system. The nervous system may be sub divided into
three main portions:(a)

The Central Nervous System. This consists of brain and spinal cord.

(b)
The Peripheral Nervous System. This forms the connections between the central
nervous system and the various organs and muscles.
(c)
The Autonomic Nervous System. It is an offshoot of the central nervous system
and controls the involuntary functions of the various internal organs such as the stomach,
intestine bladder and also the tiny muscles of the blood vessels and also controls the
secretions of the Liver and Kidneys. A person is neither conscious for the normal activities
of the autonomic system nor is he able to control them.
CONCLUSION
15.
Basic knowledge of our body systems allows us to understand the field of health and
hygiene with ease. This knowledge provides us the basic framework on which subsequent
knowledge and skills dealing with medical science can be gained in a progressive manner.

INTRODUCTION

3.
Hygiene and Sanitation are fields of medical science which aim to preserve and improve
the health of the Individual and of the community as a whole. Its study is aimed at making the
cadets aware of the many preventable health hazards and to enable them to look after themselves
and their community most efficiently. It seeks to develop in them the concepts of healthy living.
This field has nothing to do with religion or social customs but it is simply based on scientific
requirements. Personal hygiene involves all aspects of the health of an individual. Responsibility
for the maintenance of personal health therefore lies with the individual. Every person must remain
in perfect physical, mental and social health, only then can he serve the community and the
country well.
AIM
4.

To teach the NCC cadets about Hygiene and Sanitation.

PREVIEW

5.

The class will be conducted in the following parts:(a)

Part I

Hygiene.

(b)

Part II

Sanitation.
PART I : HYGIENE

Personal Hygiene
6.
Maintenance of personal hygiene is very important in preventing disease. It deals with the
practices that help in the maintenance and promotion of a persons health. Personal Hygiene helps
in the following:(a)

To maintain a good and clean physique.

233

7.

(b)

To maintain good muscle strength.

(c)

To maintain clean mouth and teeth.

(d)

To maintain resistance to prevent information.

Main Components. The main components of personal hygiene are:(a)

Sleep. Sleep means the periodical rest of both body and mind and it is extremely
essential for a healthy body. The amount of sleep one requires varies with individual age.
The average requirement of sleep is about 7 to 8 hours a day.
(b)
Bathing. Keeping the skin clean and in healthy condition is essential for good
health. A bath with a mild soap with warm water in winters and cool water in summers are
essential for body cleaning. While bathing, all parts of the body including folds in the skin
must be cleaned well. After the bath, the body must be dried properly including the folds in
the skin as wetness or dampness will lead to cuts /fungal infection.
(c)
Eating and Drinking. Properly cooked food with its full nutrient value is beneficial
for health. Eat slowly and chew well. Do not swallow hastily. Drink plenty of water between
meals and avoid strenuous exercise after a heavy meal.
(d)
Care and Cleanliness of Skin, Hair and Teeth. Our skin keeps on secreting sweat
and hence it is necessary to keep it clean through bathing and by removing dust and dirt..
Regular changing and cleaning of clothing is essential to keep the body fit. Digestive and
other disorders take place when decayed teeth and unhealthy gums bleed giving foul smell
in the mouth. Teeth should be regularly brushed after the last meal at night and early in the
morning. In sufficient vitamins C & D are the cause of dental decay.
(e)
Exercise. Organized games and physical exercise are necessary for proper
development of the body and mind.

8.

Water Supply and Its Purification.

(a)

Sources of Water Supply. The main sources of water supply are:(i)

Rain Water. Most of the fresh water on earth comes from rains. However,
most of this water is not fit for consumption due to impurities of the atmosphere.
(ii)
Surface Water. Surface water is found mainly in rivers and streams or
lakes. This water is unfit for human consumption without treatment due to discharge
of various types of wastes into it.
(iii)
Underground Streams. Bore Wells are a good source of potable water
supply. However, even these need to be protected from contamination.

(b)
Purification of Water. Safe drinking water comes only from an authorized source.
Purification provides good and safe water by eliminating the suspended matter, harmful
salts in solution, bad taste/smell, undesirable colors and germs. The following methods are
used for water purification:(i)
Boiling and Filtering Water. Untreated or treated potable water from any
unreliable source must be boiled at 100 degrees for 30 min, cooled and then
filtered. Only then will it be fit for consumption.
(ii)
Clarification. This is the removal of suspended matter through filtration, by
passing it though filter beds of gravel and sand or through properly sterilized filters.
(iii)

Sterilization. This is done by using chlorine gas or bleaching powder.

(iv)
Pinking. During cholera epidemic potassium permanganate should be used
for pinking of wells.

234
(v)
Precipitation. This is done by adding alum or some similar chemical to
water, which makes all impurities accumulate at the bottom and leaves pure water.
This water is then passed through a filter.
Food Hygiene
9.
Food is a potential source of infection and is liable to contamination by microorganisms at
any point during its journey from the producer to the consumer. Prevention of contamination of
food has to be observed from production to handling, distribution and serving. The following are
the important components of food hygiene:(a)
Milk Hygiene.
Milk is an efficient vehicle for many disease organisms.
Contamination of milk may be due to infected animal, human handler or environmental
factors. Following aspects should be ensured to obtain clean and safe milk:(i)
The animal and its surroundings should be healthy and clean. The animal
should be properly washed before mulching.
(ii)

Milk handler should be free from any communicable disease.

(iii)

Milk vessels should be totally clean, sanitized and kept covered.

(iv)

Water supply must be safe.

(v)
Pasteurization. It is the heating of milk to such temperature and for such
periods of time, as are required to destroy any pathogens without destruction of
nutritive value. It does not alter taste. (Temperature 130 C and time 1 to 2
seconds).
(b).
Meat Hygiene. The word meat includes various tissues of animal origin. The
diseases which may be transmitted through meat are Tapeworm Infestation and Bacterial
Infections like anthrax, tuberculosis or food poisoning. The animal intended for slaughter,
must be subjected to proper ante mortem and post mortem inspection. Good meat should
neither be pale pink nor deep purple nor should it be should not be slimy. Good meat
should be elastic to touch and should have agreeable color.
(c)
Fish Hygiene. Fish for human consumption should be fresh. In fresh fish, the gills
are bright red and the eyes are clear and prominent. Consumption of contaminated fish
may give rise to fish poisoning.
(d)
Egg Hygiene. Though the majority of freshly laid eggs are sterile inside, the
eggshell may become contaminated by fecal matter from the hen. The egg must be
properly washed before cooking.
(e)
Fruits and Vegetables Hygiene. Fruits and vegetables are an important source
for the spread of pathogenic organisms, protozoan and helminthes. Fruits and vegetables
consumed raw must be washed well before eating.
(f)

Hygiene of Eating Places.

(i)
Eating places should not be located near filthy places, open drains, animal
sheds, manure /soakage pits and other such places.
(ii)

Floors should be easy to clean, and should be preferably tiled.

(iii)
Rooms for storage of food should be well ventilated, insect and rat proof and
should have adequate lighting.
(iv)

Perishable and non perishable items should be kept separately.

(v)

Furniture should be strong and easy to clean.

235

(g)

(vi)

Refuse should be collected in covered bins and removed regularly.

(vii)

Water supply should be independent, adequate and safe.

(viii)

Proper place for cleaning of utensils should be provided.

Hygiene of Food Handlers.

(i)
Complete medical examination of food handlers must be done at the time of
employment.
(ii)

Regular health checkups should be done.

(iii)
Education of food handlers should be regularly educated on health and
hygiene aspects.
(iv)
They should be constantly reminded about hand washing, trimming of nails,
covering of hair, wearing of overalls and covering mouth while coughing and
sneezing during cooking.
PART II : SANITATION
10.
Definition. Sanitation means keeping the living area and its surroundings neat and clean.
This involves removal of waste products and refuse.
Waste Products / Refuse
11.

12.

Types. Some types of the waste products are :(a)

Human excreta - faeces & urine.

(b)

Stable litter - horses & cow dung.

(c)

Dry refuse & garbage - household, municipality, industrial & agricultural.

(d)

Liquid wastes: household sullage, municipal & industrial effluent.

(e)

Offensive trade wastes.

(f)

Dead animals, carcasses & offal of slaughtered animals.

Sources of Refuse .
(a)
Street Refuse. Refuse that is collected by street cleansing service or scavenging
is called street refuse e.g. leaves straw paper etc.
(b)
Market Refuse. Refuse that is collected from markets is called market refuse. e.g.
spoiled vegetable and animals matter.
(c)

Stable Litter. It contains mainly animal dropping and left over animal feeds.

(d)
from

Industrial Refuse.

(e)

Domestic Refuse. The domestic refuse consist of ash, rubbish and garbage.

Industrial refuse comprises of a wide variety of waste ranging

Disposal of Waste Products / Refuse.

13.

Collection and Removal of Refuse.

(a)
House Hold Refuse. Covered galvanized irons bins are placed on brick / cement
platforms at convenient distances from the house. These should be used for dumping

236
house hold refuse. This refuse is then collected in covered wheel barrows or municipal
vans to prevent blowing out by air.
(b)
Special Refuse. This is from stables and cowsheds. It is collected in carts and
taken to disposal grand at frequent intervals.
(c)
Street Refuse. Covered dustbins should be placed at suitable intervals along the
street and all the sweeping should be dumped in it. It is then collected early morning in
covered vans.
14.

Disposal of Refuse. Various methods for disposal of refuse are:(a)

Filling. In this method the refuse is generally utilized in filling up pits, unsanitary
tanks or in reclaiming low land. The area selected should be at least 100-150 feet away
from any habitation. No refuse should be left uncovered for more than 72 hrs.
(b)
Controlled Tipping. Controlled tipping or sanitary landfill is the most satisfactory
method of refuse disposal where suitable land is available. Chemical, bacteriological and
physical charges occur in buried refuse.
(c)
Incineration. Hospital refuse, which is particularly dangerous, is best disposed off
by incineration .
(d)
Composting. It is a method of combined disposal of refuse and night soil or
sludge.
(e)
Manure Pits. The garbage, cattle dung, straw and leaves should be dumped into
the manure pits and covered with earth, after each days dumping.
(f)
Burial. This method is suitable for small camps. A trench 1-5m wide and 2m deep
is excavated. When the level in the trench is 40 cm from ground level, the trench is filled
with earth and comported.
(g)
Sorting. This method consists of storing refuses in three separate parts for easy
disposal:(i)

Breeze. Cinders and pieces of coal are used for making bricks.

(ii)

Soft Core. Animal and vegetable organic matter, which is used as manure.

(iii)

Hard Core. Broken bottles and crockery is used for metaling of roads.

15.
Disposal of Human Waste. Proper disposal of human night soil / excreta are very
essential for prevention of various communicable diseases and also to prevent pollution /
contamination of soil, water or food (through flies). Various methods are available for disposal of
human waste / excreta as per the type of area ie, area with a proper sewage system (sewered
areas) and areas without proper sewage system (unsewered areas).
(a)
Sewered Areas. The latrines used in such areas are mainly the Flush Latrines. It
implies that ample supply of water is available to flush the night soil away. It is simple and
hygienic.
(b)

Unsewered Areas. There are of various types latrines for such areas:(i)
Domestic Latrines. These are those latrines which are used in houses in
areas not having a sewage system. These are of following types:(aa) Bore Hole Latrine. The latrine consists of a circular hole 30-40 cm
in diameter dug vertically in the ground to a depth of 4 to 8 mtr. In loose

237
sandy soil the hole is lined with bamboo matting or earthenware lining.
(ab) Dug Well Latrine.
A circular pit about 75 cm in diameter and 3 to
.5 cm deep is dug into the ground for the reception of the night soil . In
sandy soil the depth of the pit may be reduced to 1.5 to 2 mtr.
(ac)
Water Seal Latrine. The water seal performs two important
functions e.g. it prevents access to flies and it prevents escape of foul
odour. Out of many designs of water seal latrines, the RCA type is widely
adopted.
(ii)

Camp Latrines. These are of following types:(aa) Deep Trench Latrines. A pit three feet wide, at least eight feet deep
and of a length suitable to the requirement is constructed and wooden seats
placed over it with proper partitions and curtains. Soil may necessitate
reverting of sides with sand bags, bamboos or wire netting. On vacation of
camp, these are filled up with soil to assist in disintegration and prevent
breeding of flies.
(ab) Shallow Trench Latrines.. For camps of less than a weeks
duration, dig a row of trenches in parallel, each trench being 3 feet long, 1
foot wide and 2 feet deep. Each trench should be 2 feet apart. The ratio is 5
trenches for the first hundred users and three for each subsequent hundred.
After defecation, the excreta is covered with loose earth with a shovel or a
scoop. These trenches are filled up after 24 hours and new trenches are
dug up.
(ac)
Urinals. The most common urinal used for camps is the Funnel
Urinals which are constructed over a simple soakage pit.

(c)
Soakage Pits. These are essential for the disposal of liquid refuse like greasy
water from kitchen and waste water from bathrooms. Dig a pit 4 feet by 4 feet and 5 feet
to 6 feet deep. Fill with small stones and broken bricks. Cover the top with oiled sacking
and put earth or sand 6 inches above. In the centre keep a perforated empty tin of
kerosene oil. Fill this tin with layers of gravel or sand and gravel. In this fit remove the
strainer daily and replace with fresh one.
(d)
Disposal of Garbage. Disposal of solid refuse like kitchen garbage, bones etc, be
done by burial or burning. The household refuse should be deposited in a covered bin
placed outside. Improvised kerosene/oil tins are not advisable. Further disposal should be
done under municipal arrangements.
16.
Disposal of Sewage. Proper disposal and treatment of sewage has assumed great
importance today. The disposal of sewage involves treatment and disposal as under :(a)
Treatment of Sewage. Treatment of sewage is brought about by the action of
anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. The different steps involved in this process are:(i)

Screening.

(ii)

Chambering.

(iii)

Primary Sedimentation.

(iv)

Trickling Filter.

(v)

Activated Sludge Process.

238
(vi)

Sludge Digestion.

(vii)

Disposal of Effluent.

(b)
Disposal of Sewage. The sewage is collected by the water carriage system and
where no treatment facility is available can be disposed off by:(i)
Sea Out Fall. The sewage is drained into the sea. This is applicable mostly
for coastal cities / towns.
(ii)
River Out Fall. The sewage is drained into the river. This is applicable
mostly for cities / towns situated along the rivers or connected by drains.
(iii)
Land Treatment. Here the sewage is allowed to drain out on the earmarked
land / pits. This is mostly applicable to small villages.
(iv)

Oxidation Pond.
CONCLUSION

17.
Hygiene and Sanitation are two sides of a coin, which must be ensured together for best
results. These are simple steps which, if taken regularly and correctly can be beneficial to both
individuals and community as investing of time and effort in them can lead to saving of lives.

INTRODUCTION

3.
Earlier doctors defined health simply as an absence of disease or illness. However, after
the formation of World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948, health is defined as a complete state
of physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The
mind and body are single system.

and their Prevention.
PREVIEW
5.

The class will be conducted in the following parts:(a)

Part I

Classification of Diseases.

(b)

Part II

Preventive Measures.

PART I : CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES

6

Communicable diseases can be classified as follows:(a)

Excremental Diseases. These are those diseases which are communicated or
transferred through human excreta (urine and faeces). The excreta can contaminate food,
water or hands of cooks and thus pass on the infection. Typhus fever, dysentery,
diaorreah, jaundice and intestinal worms are some of the important diseases belonging to
this group.
(b)
Droplet Infection.
These are those diseases which are communicated or
transferred through germs which are sprayed out from the nose, throat or lungs in the air,
in small droplets of saliva during coughing, sneezing or even while talking. These germs
are inhaled by a healthy man if he happens to be near the sick. Common cold, influenza,

243
diphtheria, meningitis, (inflammation of the brain) and tuberculosis are the common
diseases in this group.
(c)
Contact Diseases.
These are those diseases which are communicated or
transferred when the germs pass from a sick person to a healthy person by actual body
contact. Venereal diseases i.e. syphilis, gonorrhea and skin infection are some common
examples.
(d)
Insect Borne Diseases. These are those diseases which are communicated or
transferred when the germs move from a sick person to a healthy person through Blood
sucking insects known as Carriers. These insects first bite a sick person and then bite a
healthy person, transferring the germs of the diseases in the blood of the healthy person.
These germs then multiply in the blood of the healthy person during the period of
incubation, and at the end of which he starts showing symptoms of the disease carried by
the insect. Some of the carrier insects and their disease are:(i)

Mosquito

- Malaria, Dengue and Filaria.

(ii)

Sand fly

- Sand fly fever, Kala Zar, Oriental Sore.

(iii)

Lice

- Typhus, Relapsing Fever.

(iv)

Flies

- Diaorreah, Dysentery, Cholera, Typhoid.

(v)

Fleas

- Plague, Typhus.

(vi)

Ticks

- Relapsing Fever, Typhus.

(f)
Water Borne Diseases. Certain diseases spread due to infection carried through
water. These are cholera, dysentery, diaorreah, jaundice etc. These spread as water gets
contaminated through vomits or faeces passing into it. Epidemics are likely to spread if
immediate steps are not taken to disinfect water and to properly dispose off the excreta
through efficient conservancy arrangements. All sources of the diseases ought to be
eliminated.
(g)
Animal Borne Diseases. The germs are transmitted through the agency of
animals by drinking milk or through the agency of insects. Rabies, plague, anthrax and
tuberculosis are some of the common diseases.
PART II : PREVENTIVE MEASURES
7.

Specific measures to prevent diseases are as under:(a)

Prevention of Excremental & Water Borne Disease.

(i)
Control of water route is easy by disinfecting water or providing safe water in
place.
(ii)
Control of the milk route is easy by subjecting the milk to boiling or
pasteurization.
(iii)
Food born infection may be controlled by standards of food hygiene,
exclusion of sick persons from food handlings, strict attention to personnel hygiene,
promotion of hand washing, protection of foods against flies and rodents and
providing facilities for refrigeration.
(iv)
Safe disposal of excreta will block the transmission of disease by the faecal
oral route.

(b)

Prevention of Droplet Infection. This can be achieved by :(i)

Use of mask.

244

(c)

(ii)

Bed spacing.

(iii)

Screening.

(iv)

Dust Control.

(v)

Avoid over-crowding.

(vi)

Proper ventilation.

(vii)

Avoid spiting in public places.

(viii)

Proper sunlight.

(ix)

Proper disinfection of air.

Prevention of Contact Disease.

(i)

Complete segregation of patient.

(ii)

No direct personal contact between patient and the staff.

(iii)

The early diagnosis will help in preventing the spread in the patient.

(iv)
Proper disposal of all the excreta and disinfection of all articles of the
patient.
(d)

Prevention of Insect Born Disease.

(i)
Filling, leveling and drainage of breeding places and water management will
help in eliminating larvae. Adequate collection, removal and disposal of sewage and
waste water are important in preventing culex.
(ii)

Use kerosene oil, fuel oil, or special oil to prevent larvae.

(iii)

Use of residual sprays like malathion.

(iv)
Use of mosquito nets, screening of doors and windows, mosquito repellant
and sun down sleeves.
(v)

Control the presence of rodents and fleas in and around the home.

(vi)
Avoid contact with any species of wild rodents, especially sick or dead
rodents.
(vii)
8.

Not to handle sick or dead animals or animal waste.

The following preventive measures are necessary to ward off these diseases;(a)

Segregation of the Patient. Important points are as under:(i)

Preferably shift patient to an isolated room.

(ii)
Ensure room confirms to hygiene and sanitation standards ie adequate
ventilation, sunlight and cleanliness.
(iii)

Nominate one healthy person to undertake nursing and care of the patient.

(iv)
Nominated person to take preventive measures like use of mask, gown, and
gloves and avoid direct contact and hand washing before and after every visit.
(v)

Clothing and utensils used by patient to be cleaned / washed separately.

245
(vi)
Safe disposal of patients excreta Urine, Stool, Sputum, Refuse eg
discarded dressings, garbage etc by burning.
(b)
Destroy Agents (Germs) Causing Infection in the Surrounding Area or
Premises. Immediately on detection of a communicable disease, the source of agents /
germs causing infection should be destroyed by following actions :(i)

Removal / destruction of garbage.

(ii)

Cleaning the drains & keep them covered.

(iii)

Remove/ dry out waste water.

(iv)
Spray malathion mixed in water (ratio: malathion - 1 ml, water 1000 ml) in
and around premises. (Caution - malathion is highly poisonous direct breathing /
touch should be avoided). Wash hands after use.
(v)

Keep premises free of rodents (rats), stray dogs.

(vi)

Use mosquito nets, long sleeves, screening of doors & windows.

(c)
Disinfection.
following means:-

All articles in contact with the patient should be disinfected by

(i)
Natural. Sunlight and air can be used to disinfect articles like blanket,
mattresses, pillows and also the rooms. The microorganisms thrive in darkness and
need moisture for their survival, on being exposed to sunlight and air they die.
(ii)
Physical. Physical agents like heat, cold radiation etc. can also be used for
disinfection and sterilization.
(aa)

Heat. Heat can be used in two ways for sterilizing.

(i)
Moist Heat. Moist Heat in the form of boiling kills germs
very rapidly. In addition, autoclaving or Steam under Pressure is
the most effective method used to disinfect all hospital equipment
which can be boiled like linen, bandage, dressing material, gloves
and instruments.
(ii)
Dry Heat. Dry heat like flaming or use of hot air oven.
Sterilization by steam under pressure (autoclaving) is the
commonest method for sterilization which is being used in the army.

(ab) Cold.
Freezing or freeze-drying can inactivate bacteria. Some of
them can however survive even at 0 C.
(ac)
Radiation. It includes ionizing radiations like X rays, gamma beta
and ultraviolet radiation. These are expensive methods and are not suitable
for small-scale procedures.
(ad) Other Methods. Disinfection and sterilization can also be done by
using other methods like of infrared rays, filtration etc.
(iii)
Chemical Agents. Chemical agents like phenol, savlon, potassium
permanganate, Hydrogen peroxide etc are commonly used for disinfection and
sterilization. The strength of agent depends upon its used concentration being.
(iv)
Control of Food & Drink. Salient points to be observed while feeding the
patient:(aa) Clean water preferably boiled must be served to the patient Water
container must be kept covered.

246
(ab) Balanced diet, well cooked, hygienically prepared food using less oil
and condiments, should be served hot. Stale, cold and food exposed to flies
& insects should not be served.
(ac)

Food items sourced from restaurants / dhabas must not be served.

(v)
Inoculation and Vaccinations. Important inoculations & vaccinations are
provided free of cost under various Government programmers. These are
administered at Primary Health Centers/Hospitals. It not available the same should
be administered/ taken from market. Important inoculations and vaccination are as

9.
Communicable diseases as the name suggests are most easy to prevent if timely
measures are taken as recommended above. As these diseases are communicated through some
carrier or agent, their spread on occurrence is difficult to control. It is advisable to always follow the
prevention measures to save precious human and animal lives national resources and effort.

grooved biting fangs. The majority of bites occur on parts of limbs which are exposed like hands,
feet and lower legs.
10.
First Aid Treatment. All cases of snake bite should be treated as being bitten by
poisonous snakes. The First Aid treatment will be as follows:(a)

Make the victim lie down comfortably.

(b)

Give convincing reassurance against fear of death.

down. The patient should face the light. If the foreign body is seen, it can be wiped off with
the moistened corner of hand kerchief, cloth or cotton swab.
(d)
If foreign body is fixed to the eye-ball, patient should be sent to the hospital with a
light eye bandage.
Foreign Body in Ear
17.
This is common with children. They often put beads, peas, nuts and other objects into the
ear or an insect may get into the ear.
18.
First Aid Treatment.
Do not try to remove the foreign body with the help of a pin or
forceps as this may push the foreign body further in, causing damage to the ear drum. The patient
should be sent to the hospital.
Foreign Body in Nose
19.
This is a common occurrence among children. They might put peas, beads etc in the
nostril.
20.

(a)

Blowing the nose and sneezing may expel the foreign body.

(b)

Make the casualty breathe through the mouth.

(c)

Do not try to remove the foreign body.

(d)

Send the patient to the nearest hospital.

PART V : ASPHYXIA

21.
The tissue and organs of the body are supplied with oxygen through respiration, essential
for the functioning of body. Respiration consists of inspiration, expiration and a pause. During
inspiration air is drawn inside causing the lungs to expand. During expiration the lungs contract
and air is pushed out. The respiratory system consists of the air passage known as respiratory
tract and lungs. The actions of muscles concerned with respiration are controlled and regulated by
the respiratory centre of the brain.
Asphyxia
22.
Causes. Anything which interferes with respiration producing irregularities in breathing,
produces a condition known as Asphyxia. The main causes of Asphyxia are :(a)

Drowning due to water entering the air passage.

(b)

Hanging and Strangulation due to obstruction to entry of air.

(c)

Suffocation.
(i)

Due to obstruction to entry of air through the air passage.

251

(d)

23.

24.

(ii)

Shortness of breath rate or breathing increase.

(c)

Rapid pulse.

(d)

Partial loss of consciousness.

(e)

Swelling of the veins of the neck.

(f)

Face, lips, nails, fingers and toes turn blue.

General Rules for Treatment of Asphyxia.

(a)

Remove the cause if possible or the casualty from the cause.

(b)

Ensure that there is a free passage for air.

(c)
Lay the individual on his back. Press the head back-wards supporting the neck on
your palm. Lift the tongue clear of the airway. Give mouth to mouth breathing.
25.

(a)
(b)

Wet cloths should be loosened.

Mouth, throat and nostril should be cleaned of mucus and any foreign body.

(c)
Patient should be made to lie down over his belly, face down, head turned to one
side, arms stretched beyond the head, tongue pulled out.

26.

(d)

through some interference with the functions of the central nervous system.
31.

Stages of Unconsciousness.
(a)

32.

1st Stage

Delirium When the restlessness of body and mind are

present.

Keep the air passage clear.

(e)

Nothing should be given by mouth. Remove false teeth, if any.

PART VII : ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION

34.
If there is any irregularity in breathing or a cardiac arrest, artificial respiration is given. If it
is given correctly and in time, the patients life can be saved.
35.

Types of Artificial Respiration.

(a)

Holger-Nielson Method.

Keep the casualty in prone position.

(i)
Movement 1. Go down on the left opposite the casualtys head, placing the
right foot on the ground. Place the casualtys arm carefully above his head and
keep them there during the turn. Grasp his right upper arm and turn his face to one
side. The mouth and nose must be unobstructed. The operator should be 6to
12from the top of his head. Place the hands on casualties back with the heel of
the hand on the lower part of the shoulder blade, the thumb on spine and fingers
pointing to casualtys feet. Keeping the arms straight rock gently forward until the
arms are almost vertical, depending on the build of the casualty using no special
force. The movement takes 2 seconds counting one, two. This pressure causes
expiration. This is called movement 1.
(ii)
Movement 2. The operator now rocks back counting 3 for one second and
slides his hand and grips the upper arms near the elbow. He raises and pulls on
the arms for 2 seconds counting 4, 5. He should take care not to raise the chest
from the ground. This movement causes inspiration. Counting 6 the operator
lowers the casualtys arm. The movements should be rhythmic in character and
continued until breathing recommences. When the casualty begins to show signs of
breathing the operator should continue with movement 2 only. For children the
pressure on the shoulder blade should be considerably reduced or applied with
fingers. The ratio should be 12 times in a minute.
(b)

Schaefers Method.
(j)
Position of the Casualty. Lay the casualty in prone position with hand one
over other under his head, the head turned to one side, mouth and nose
unobstructed.
(ii)
Position of the Operator. Face the casualtys head; kneel on both knees
at the side of casualty just below his hip joint. Sit back on your heels, place your
hands on the loins of the casualty, one on each side of back bone with wrists
almost touching, and thumbs as far forward as possible without strain, and fingers
together.
(iii)
Movement 1. Without bending your elbows swing slowly forward by
unbending the knees until the thighs are in almost upright position, allowing the
weight from your body to be communicated to the casualtys loins. This causes

254
abdominal organ compression against the ground and up against the diaphragm.
Air is forced out of the lungs, thus expiration takes places.
(iv)
Movement 2. Swing back slowly on to your heels, thus relaxing the
pressure. This causes the abdominal organs to fall back and the diaphragm to
come down thus inducing inspiration. These 2 movements must be carried out
smoothly and rhythmically and should take 5 seconds (i.e. 12 times per minutes).
Artificial respiration must be continued until natural breathing is restored, or unless
a doctor decides that further efforts will be of no use.
(c)

Mouth to Mouth Respiration.

(i)

Casualty should be in supine position.

(ii)

Clean the mouth and throat to maintain clear air passage.

(iii)

Extend the neck to straighten the air passage.

(iv) Cover the patients mouth with clean gauze and blow directly and slowly into it.
(10 12 times per minutes).
CONCLUSION
36.
First aid is a very simple and effective method which if known to an NCC cadet can save
precious lives under various life threatening situations. The crucial aspects are promptness and
correctness in administering first aid. A NCC cadet who reaches the victim must first quickly
investigate the cause and type of injury before attempting to administer first aid.

Nursing plays a very important role in the recovery of a patient. While the doctors prescribe
a course of treatment, it is the nurse who actually translates it into action. It is on the efficient
nursing of the case that the whole success of the treatment depends. A large number of people
have to be nursed at home either because their sickness is not severe or because on being
discharged from hospital they recover at home. It is here that skill in home nursing comes in. A
cadet trained in home nursing can be a great asset to a family

257
PART II : THE BANDAGE AND ITS APPLICATION
8.
General. Bandages are made of various materials and are of various lengths and width
according to the part on which they are to be applied. These are:-

9.

(a)

Bandage for Finger

1 wide

(b)

Bandage for Head and Arm

(c)

Bandage for Trunk

(d)

Bandage for Leg

General Rules for Application. The rules for application of bandage are:(a)

Face the causality.

(b)

Hold the head of the bandage in the right hand.

(c)
Apply the outer side of the free end to the part and where possible lock it in position
by a superimposed turn.

10.

(d)
limb.

Bandage firmly from below upwards and from within outwards over the front of the

(e)

Apply the layer of the bandage so that it covers neither too tight nor too loose.

(f)

When completed secure the bandage by a safety pin.

Method of Application. There are three methods of applying the roller bandages :(a)
The Simple Spiral. This is only used when the part is of uniform thickness, for
example, finger or wrist. The bandage is carried out in a spiral direction.
(b)
The Reverse Spiral. This is used in bandaging those parts of the limbs where
there is varying thickness. This is made by a number of spiral turns in which the bandage is
reversed downward upon itself at each circuit of the limb.
(c)
The Figure of 8. It is used for bandaging in the neighborhood of a joint such as
knee or elbow. This is applied by passing the bandage obliquely round the limb alternately
upward and downwards.
PART III : THE SICK ROOM PREPARATION,
CLEANING AND VENTILATION

11.
General. The sick room should be that room of the house, which is away from all noise and
through which there is no passage. However, it should have a bathroom and lavatory close by. It
should face South or South-West.
12.
Preparation. A sick room should not have too many things. However, it should be
comfortably furnished. There should be a comfortable bed, a bed side table, two chairs and one
easy chair. A cupboard for keeping equipment should also be there. A wash basin with jug of
water, soap, nail brush and towel must be arranged on a stool or a small table. If possible, a
curtain stand may be arranged. A waste paper basket should be kept at a convenient place.

258
13.
Cleaning. Dirt and dust are depressing to a sick person and retard his recovery.
Moreover, these are the biggest source of illness as they harbor germs of various diseases.
Hence, due importance should be given to the daily cleaning of the room. The following points
should be kept in view :(a)
All cleaning work should be done without disturbing the patient after the toilet is
over and the bed remade.
(b)
Light furniture should be removed before the room is swept and dusted. After
dusting, each piece should be wiped with a weak solution of disinfectant and then polished
with dry cloth.
(c)
Dusting should be done with damp cloth. The floor should be cleaned after
scattering damp tea leaves so that dust does not rise.
(d)
At night, flowers should be removed from the vases and fresh flowers arranged in
the morning.
14.
Lighting. The light should not fall direct on the face of the patient. It should come from
behind or the sides. There should be a shaded lamp on the side of the patient. There should be
another shaded light for the nurse, so placed, that she can do her job without disturbing the
patient. A well protected light can quite serve the purpose.
15.
Ventilation. Ventilation means the availability of pure, fresh air in abundant quantity. It also
means bringing inside a house or a place of work, plenty of sunlight. This is done through doors,
windows and open spaces. Fresh air is essential for human existence. One of the important
processes of living is, inhalation and exhalation. The dirty air exhaled by the breathing process is
replaced by clean, fresh air inhaled by nostrils. The foul breath breathed out gets mixed up with
fresh air and is to be separated so that air is available for the breathing process to continue.
PART IV : TAKING / RECORDING OF PULSE AND TEMPERATURE
Pulse
16.
The patients quick recovery depends very much on the efficient routine care by the nurse.
Daily routine should be planned according to the patients habits and followed regularly unless
some sudden change in the patients condition requires some adjustment. The pulse is the heart
beat and is most commonly felt at the radial on the point of the wrist. The average pulse rate is 72
beats per minute. In case of infants, it is 100 to 140 beats per minute and in case of children it is
90 to 100 beats per minute.
17.
Taking Pulse. The rate or the pulse changes with the change in emotions and while doing
exercise. To count pulse, the patient should be made to sit down in bad. The arm must be relaxed
and in a prone position. To take pulse, the tips of the first three fingers should be laid down on the
radial artery at the base of the palm. The index finger should be nearest to the palm of the
patients hand. The thumb should be placed at the seconds hand in your watch. The result should
be immediately entered in the pulse column of the TPR Chart.
Temperature
18.
The normal temperature of a man is between 97 and 99 degrees F. There are slight F
variations between the daily temperature in the morning and evening. The lowest temperature is
between 2AM and 4AM.
19.
Measuring Temperature. It is important to know how to measure temperature. The body
temperature is taken by the clinical thermometer which is a device consisting mercury band. The

259
range of the thermometer is 95 F to 110 F. The degrees are indicated by black lines. A figure is
written after every 5. An arrow indicates the normal level of level of temperature i.e.98.4 F.
(a)

Normal temperature by mouth is 98.4 F or 37 C.

(b)

By axilla or groin it is 1 F lower than by mouth.

(c)

By rectum, it is 1 F higher than by mouth.

(d)

Fahrenheit is changed to centigrade by the formula. F-32 x 5/9 = C.

20.
Method. Keep the bulb of the thermometer pressed under the armpit or beneath the
tongue or in the groin for 2 minutes. Take the reading and record in the Temperature column of the
TPR Chart.
21.
Recording of TPR Chart. The TPR Chart is a morning and evening record of the patients
temperature, pulse and respiration with some other details such as the number of times the patient
had motions and the amount of urine passed. This helps the doctor in learning about the latest
condition of the patient at one glance.
22.
Fever. Whenever there is an inroad of disease germs in the body, due to some infection, it
raises its temperature to put up a fight against the invasion. The state of more than normal
temperature is called Fever.
23.
The normal temperature of the body is 970 F to 990 F. The temperature above 990 causes
pain, restlessness, headache and body ache. Moderate temperature from 990 F to 1030 F is called
PYearexia. High temperature from 1030 F to 1050 F is called High PYearexia. Very high
temperature over 1050 F is called Hyper-PYearexia. Fever may be :(a)
Constant.
In this the temperature remains the same all the 24 hours as in
pneumonia and scarlet fever.
(b)
Intermittent. The temperature rises very high and falls very low. It appears when
there is severe infection.
PART V : FEEDING A HELPLESS PATIENT
24.
While feeding a helpless patient, the bed and the table should be properly and neatly
arranged. The nurse should give full attention to the patient so that patient does not feel that
he/she is being hurried through a meal.
(a)
Feeding a Patient on Fluid Diet.
The mouth of the patient should be washed
and wiped. If the patient can sit up, the fluid can be given in a cup or in a glass. If the
patient wants to take fruit juice with a straw he/she should be given that. But it should be
ensured that the straw is absolutely clean. If the patient cannot sit up, he/she should be
fed with a feeding cup or a feeder. The bed clothes should be protected by placing a clean
napkin beneath the patients mouth. The nurse should place her left arm, under the first
pillow to raise the patients head slightly. The flow of the fluid should be regulated so that
too much of it does not flow into the patients mouth. One mouthful should be done with a
tea spoon also. In case of jaw injuries, a small rubber tube is attached to the spout of the
feeding cup and then put between the teeth. The patient should be given small quantity to
swallow at one time. After feeding the patient, lips should be wiped with a clean towel.
(b)
Feeding with Solid Food. Food should be served in an attractive manner
arranged attractively on a side table. One dish should be brought at one time. The food
should be served hot. It should be put in a plate in the kitchen before bringing to the

260
patient. Patient should be fed with a spoon. As soon as food is finished the plate should
be removed.
PART VI : MEDICINES AND THEIR ADMINISTRATION
25.
A Nurse has to take great care with medicines. She should fully understand the doctors
prescription and keep the medicines well labeled and properly stored. There should be three
separate shelves of a cupboard, one for lotion, one for medicines and the third one for poisons.
26.
Administering Medicines. Proper administration of medicines is most important, as on it
depends, the very life of the patient. Hence, if there be any doubt the doctor should be asked to
clear it. The following points should be kept in mind while giving medicines:(a)

While Giving Liquid Medicines.

(i)
Check the label with the prescription. If handling a new medicine read the
instructions carefully. Shake the medicine well.
(ii)
Put your thumb near the correct marking of dosage on the medicine glass.
Hold the glass in level with the medicine bottle. Pour away from the label so that it
does not become illegible. Replace the cork immediately.
(iii)
Read the instructions once again before actually giving the medicine to the
patient.
(iv)
Take the medicine on a tray with a glass of water and spoon in case the
medicine requires stiffing. If the medicine has a bitter taste, give the patient some
sweet drink.
(v)

(b)

Never pour back any unused medicine, throw it away.

Other Medicines.
(i)
In case of pills, tablets, capsules and powder, remember that a pill has a
sugar coating and a capsule has a gelatin coating and hence can be easily
swallowed with water. Tablets if not swallowed by the patient may by crushed and
put on the back of the tongue for swallowing. Powder must be poured at the back
of the patients tongue and water poured in his mouth.
(ii)
Iron mixture should be given with straws so that the teeth are not stained. If
the patient is not too weak, he/she should be asked to clean his/her teeth.
CONCLUSION

27.
Home nursing is a common household practice prevalent in the society. NCC cadets can
be of tremendous assistance at their homes or neighborhood whenever such the need arises for
extending assistance to our relations and friends during sickness or injury. Knowledge of this
subject is essential for cadets to be of assistance to other cadets during camps and adventure
activities as also to victims during disaster management.

Definition. A Fracture is defined as a discontinuity or break in a bone, resulting in the
dissolution of the supporting frame work of the body.
7.

Causes of Fracture. Fractures can be caused due to the following:(a)

Through Direct Violence. The bone breaks on the spot where direct violence is
applied by a kick, bullet, blow etc.

265
(b)
Through Indirect Violence. The bone breaks at some distant place from the spot
of violence i.e. fracture of clavicle, base of skull etc, when the force is on out stretched
hands or other extremities.

First Aid for Strain. Place the patient in the most comfortable position. Support
the injured part. Give cold compress.
20.
Crepe Bandage.
A crepe bandage is made of elastic material which stretches and
binds firmly around the joint to which it is applied. It thus helps in reducing swelling and
movements at the affected joint, thereby minimizing pain and giving it rest. It is used in sprains and
strains around joints. It can be washed and used again.
CONCLUSION
21.
It is essential for all human beings to take proper precautions whenever they hurt
themselves. Injuries can result in different kinds of fractures; the cadets should also be trained to
treat various type of fractures to avoid complications at later stages.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Yoga is a commonly known activity for physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines which
originated in ancient India. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy. One of the
most detailed and thorough expositions on the subject are the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Various
traditions of yoga are found in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

PART I : HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AND

PURPOSE OF YOGA
6.
Prephilosophical speculations and diverse ascetic practices of first millennium BC were
systematized into a formal philosophy in early centuries AD by the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. By the

270
turn of the first millennium, Hatha Yoga emerged as a prominent tradition of yoga distinct from the
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. While the Yoga Sutras focus on discipline of the mind, Hatha yoga
concentrates on health and purity of the body.
7.
Hindu monks, beginning with Swami Vivekananda, brought yoga to the West in the late
19th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a physical system of health exercises across
the Western world. Many studies have tried to determine the effectiveness of yoga as a
complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma and heart patients..
Definition
8.
The Sanskrit word yoga which is "yoke", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach" from the root yuj,
already had a much more figurative sense, where the yoking or harnessing of oxen or horses
takes on broader meanings such as "employment, use, application, performance" , "to put
something to some use". In Hindu philosophy, the word yoga is used to refer to one of the six
orthodox (stika) schools of Hindu philosophy.
Purpose
9.
Generally put, yoga is a disciplined method utilized for attaining a goal. In this sense, the
purpose of yoga depends on the philosophical or theological system with which it is conjugated. In
Shaiva theology, yoga is used to unite Kundalini with Shiva. Mahabharata defines the purpose of
yoga as the experience of Brahman or tman pervading all things. In contemporary times, the
physical postures of yoga are used to alleviate health problems, reduce stress and make the spine
supple. Yoga is also used as a complete exercise program and physical therapy routine.
PART II : POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF YOGA FOR ADULTS
10.

Yoga as Exercise or Alternative Medicine.

(a)
Many yoga practitioners have reported musculoskeletal and mental health
improvements, as well as reduced symptoms of asthma in asthmatics. Regular yoga
practice increases brain GABA levels and has been shown to improve mood and anxiety
more than some other metabolically matched exercises, such as walking.
(b)
The three main focuses of Hatha yoga (exercise, breathing, and meditation) make
it beneficial to those suffering from heart disease. Overall, studies of the effects of yoga on
heart disease suggest that yoga may reduce high blood pressure, improve symptoms of
heart failure, enhance cardiac rehabilitation, and lower cardiovascular risk factors.
(c)
For chronic low back pain, specialist Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs has been
found 30% more beneficial.
(d)
There has been an emergence of studies investigating yoga as a complementary
intervention for cancer patients. Yoga is used for treatment of cancer patients to decrease
depression, insomnia, pain, and fatigue and increase anxiety control.
(e)
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). This program includes yoga as a
mind-body technique to reduce stress. A study found that after seven weeks the group
treated with yoga reported significantly less mood disturbance and reduced stress
compared to the control group. Another study found that MBSR had showed positive
effects on sleep anxiety, quality of life, and spiritual growth.
(f)
Yoga has also been studied as a treatment for schizophrenia. Yoga is found to
improve cognitive functions and reduce stress in schizophrenia, a condition associated with
cognitive deficits and stress-related relapse.

271
(g)
The practice of yoga in Hindu tradition also has psychological benefits, allowing one
to develop control over one's mind and body. Rather than adapting the sick or mentally ill
mind (which is also the primary focus of modern psychology), traditional Hindu psychology
focuses on enhancing the normal and healthy mind through the practice of meditative
techniques such as yoga.
(h)
Implementation of the Kundalini Yoga Lifestyle has shown to help substance abuse
addicts increase their quality of life according to psychological questionnaires like the
Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale and the Quality of Recovery Index.
PART III : POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
11.
Certain health problems associated with yoga have been brought to the attention of the
general public. Yoga has been criticised for being potentially dangerous and being a cause for a
range of serious medical conditions including thoracic outlet syndrome, degenerative arthritis of
the cervical spine, spinal injuries, retinal tears, damage to the common fibular nerve, knee injuries,
and headaches are common ailments which may result from yoga practice.
12.
Some yoga practitioners do not recommend certain yoga exercises for women during
menstruation, for pregnant women, or for nursing mothers. However, mediation and breathing
exercises are encouraged.
13.
The main reasons that experts cite for causing negative effects from yoga, beginners'
competitiveness and instructors' lack of qualification are foremost. As the demand for yoga classes
grows, many people get trained and certified to become yoga instructors. However, not every
newly certified instructor can evaluate the condition of every new trainee in their class and
recommend refraining from doing certain poses to avoid injuries. In turn, a beginning yoga student
can overestimate the abilities of their body and strive to do advanced poses before their body is
flexible enough to perform them.
Children and Yoga
14.
Research in the countries which have advanced medical research and development
facilities do not recommend , Yoga exercises for children under 16 because their bodies nervous
and glandular systems are still growing, and the effect of Yoga exercises on these systems may
interfere with natural growth. However, meditation and simple breathing exercises (without breathholding) are safe and can help children to manage stress, impulsiveness, and emotional situations.
PART IV : ASANAS
15.
There are innumerable asanas. Some of the asanas useful for curing ailments and
maintain good health are as follows:(a)

INTRODUCTION
3.
A natural resource is any useful product which is produced by nature and is essential for
our survival. Natural resources can be classified in different ways as per their nature or availability
or type. A few examples of natural resources are air, water, wood, oil, solar energy, wind
energy, fossil fuels, minerals and coal. Refined oil is not a natural resource since humans create it.
AIM

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Type of Natural Resources.

(b)

Part II

Conservation and management of Natural Resources.

PART I : TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES

6.
Natural resources can be classified by various methods, which include source of origin,
stage of development and by their renewability. These classifications are described below.
7.

Natural resources are basically classified as either renewable or non-renewable:(a)

Renewable Resources. These are resources which can be replenished naturally.
Some of these resources, like sunlight, air, wind, water etc, are continuously available and
their quantity is not noticeably affected by human consumption.

277
(b)
Non-Renewable Resources. These are resources which are formed extremely
slowly and those which do not naturally form in the environment. Minerals and Fossil Fuels
are the most common resources included in this category.
8.

Resources can be further classified on the basis of origin as under :(a)

Biotic. Biotic resources are obtained from the biosphere (living and organic
material), such as forests and animals and the materials that can be obtained from
them. Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum are also included in this category because
they are formed from decayed organic matter.
(b)
Abiotic. Abiotic resources are those that come from non-living, non-organic
material. Examples of abiotic resources include land, fresh water, air and heavy metals
including ores such as gold, iron, copper, silver, etc.

9.
Considering their stage of development, natural resources may be referred to in the
following ways:
(a)
Potential Resources. Potential resources are those that exist in a region and may
be used in the future. For example, petroleum may exist in many parts of India, having
sedimentary rocks but until the time it is actually drilled out and put into use, it remains a
potential resource.
(b)
Actual Resources. Actual resources are those that have been surveyed, their
quantity and quality determined and are being used in present times. The development of
an actual resource, such as wood processing depends upon the technology available and
the cost involved.
(c)
Reserve Resources. The part of an actual resource which can be developed
profitably in the future is called a reserve resource.
(d)
Stock Resources. Stock resources are those that have been surveyed but
cannot be used by organisms due to lack of technology. For example, hydrogen.
PART II : CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Need for Management and Conservation of Natural Resources
10.
Most of natural resources on earth, especially the non renewable resources, have a finite
limit. Excessive use of these may deprive the future generations their use. It is therefore extremely
essential that we not only conserve natural resources but also plan their proper management so
that the longevity of these resources increases. Some of the major effects of unrestricted use of
natural resources are as under :-

(a)

Ozone Depletion. This is a process by which the total volume of ozone in the
Earths atmosphere decreases. The major reason for this ozone layer depletion is the
production of man-made
refrigerants (CFCs, Freon, Halons). Since the ozone layer
prevents most harmful UVB wavelengths (280315 nm) of ultraviolet light (UV light) from
passing through the Earth's atmosphere, depletion of the ozone layer has serious
damaging effects.

(b)

Soil Erosion. Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the
Earth's surface by natural processes such as, wind or water flow and then transported
and deposited at other locations. While erosion is a natural process, human activities such
as deforestation and expansion of built up areas have dramatically increased the rate at of
soil erosion. Excessive soil erosion causes problems such as desertification, decreases in
agricultural productivity due to land degradation, sedimentation of waterways
and ecological collapse due to loss of the nutrient rich upper soil layers.

278

(c)

Acid Rain.
It is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic,
meaning that, it possesses added levels of hydrogen. Acid rain is caused by emissions
of harmful chemicals such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with
the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Chemicals in the acid rain cause
paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges and erosion of stone statues,
besides causing total destruction to crop.

(d)

Global Warming. Global warming is a phenomenon associated with the increase

of earths temperature. One of the major causes of global warming has been excessive
production of Greenhouse gases. A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits
radiation within the thermal infrared range. The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's
atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Green
house gases have a great affect on the earths temperature.
Methods of Management and Conservation of Natural Resources
11.

Following methods contribute immensely towards efficient conservation of resources :(a)

Recycling. This is a method by which some of the resources can be conserved by
recycling them or reusing them by adopting certain methods as under:(i)

Recycling of paper will reduce the burden on trees.

(ii)
Recycling of water including sewage will reduce the burden on sub soil /
fresh water for irrigation.
(iii)

Recycling of metal / plastic waste will conserve metal resources.

(b)
Water Harvesting. This method can be used for storing rainwater for use at a later
date. In villages, storing of rain water in ponds will increase the level of sub soil water.
(c)
Aforestation. Planting more trees and avoid cutting of trees. This will prevent soil
erosion as also increase good gases in the environment.
(d)
Proper Waste Management. This will prevent pollution of soil and water sources
like river, ponds and sea. This not only involves segregation of waste into biodegradable /
non biodegradable and its subsequent treatment, but also treatment of industrial / sewage
effluents before discharge into the river / sea.

(e)

Greater Use of Renewable Sources. Using renewable sources of energy like

solar and wind power will help in conserving electricity.
(f)
Avoid Wastage. Excessive use / uncontrolled use leads to wastage. Wastage can
be prevented by proper education, monitoring and controlled usage.
(g)
Increasing Energy Efficiency. Use of energy efficient vehicles or equipment like
CFLs will reduce consumption. Also use of alternate sources of energy like solar or wind
energy will reduce consumption of electricity.
(h)
Monitoring and Control. There is a strong need to put into place strong and
stringent control and monitoring organizations so that uncontrolled wastage can be
prevented.
Role of NCC in Conservation of Natural Resources
12.
Every cadet can fulfill his obligation towards environment individually or collectively by
following means :-

279
(a)

Avoiding cutting of trees and by Planting more trees.

(b)

Not polluting water sources like river, ponds, sea.

(c)

Avoiding use of plastic.

(d)

Avoiding noise pollution.

(e)

Recycling natural resources to ensure their efficient sustainable use.

(f)

Using renewable sources of energy like solar and wind power.

(g)
Saving energy in small matters like switching off fans, lights and other electric
gadgets when not needed.
CONCLUSION
13.
Natural resources are Mother Natures gift to mankind. These need to be used with
discretion. Large scale industrialization, urbanization and massive increase in population are
leading to depletion of these meager resources. Natural resources are to be conserved and
managed judiciously.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Water is a very important and precious resource for survival of mankind. Water
Conservation encompasses policies, strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a
sustainable resource, to protect the water environment and to meet current and future human
demands. Population growth, household size and affluence affect the quantity of water that is
consumed. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources,
especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation. Water is fast becoming scarce due to
increase in population, industries and agricultural activities and due to poor rainfall.

PART I : WATER CONSERVATION

Need for Water Conservation

6.
No other natural resource has had such an overwhelming response on the history of
mankind as much as Water. As human population increases, the desire for a better standard of
living will increase the demands on fresh water resources.
7.
Much of the worlds fresh water is consumed by the agricultural, industrial and domestic
sectors. The failure in efficiently managing this resource to meet the increasing water demands of

281
these sectors has resulted in a situation of crisis in many parts of the world. In many parts of India,
freshwater crisis already exists.
8.
With only 1% of water available for human consumption, we must treat our water supply
with more respect. Water conservation should not be considered an option any longer but is an
inescapable necessity. Current circumstances require our full attention, if we hope to thrive as a
civilization. Much of the world is currently suffering due to a lack of clean water. Therefore, it is
extremely important to seek out, find and start using all the innovative water conservation
solutions and methods that are available today.
9.
Ways to Conserve Water Indoors. The best place to start Water Conservation is ones
own house. Certain measures which can be adopted at home are:(a)

Ensure that there are no leaks in your house, in the pipelines, taps and toilets.

(b)

Use water efficient flushes and if possible, toilets with dual flushing systems.

(c)

Close taps while brushing your teeth, shaving or soaping your face.

(d)

Use water from washing of clothes for cleaning floors.

(e)

Use appropriate amount of detergent for washing clothes.

(f)

Close the shower tap whilst soaping your body.

(g)
When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink
with wash water and the other with rinse water.
(h)
Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are tools
that can help you discover leaks.
(j)
Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are
cooler to minimize evaporation.
10.
Water Conservation Practices for Water Utilities. Common practices used by water
supply utilities include metering, leak detection, repairing water lines, well capping, retrofitting
programs, pricing, waste-water reuse and developing public education programs and drought
management plans.
11.
Agricultural Water Conservation Practices. Water saving irrigation practices fall into
three categories, field practices, management strategies and system modifications. Practices such
as drip irrigation can save large quantities of water. Careful and judicious use of water for irrigation
can lead to irrigating much more land.
12.
Industrial and Commercial Water Conservation Practices. Industries could save
copious amounts of water by installing water recycling systems. Cooling Water Recirculation and
Wash Water Recycling are the most widely used water recycling practices.
13.
Other Methods to initiate Water Conservation would include, public outreach programmes,
nukkad and community dramas and water audits. Rainwater harvesting is one of the most
successful techniques being used in India.
PART II : RAIN WATER HARVESTING
14.
Rainwater harvesting means capturing the runoff of the rainwater in our own house, village,
town or city. It basically means accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse, before it reaches
the aquifer. Utilisation includes water for garden, livestock, irrigation, etc. In many places, the
water collected is just redirected to a deep pit with percolation. The harvested water can be used
for drinking water also, if the storage is a tank that can be accessed and cleaned when needed.

282
15.
Need for Rainwater Harvesting. India is in a state of water crisis, both in rural and urban
areas. Floods and droughts go hand in hand in this country, which causes water scarcity.
Rainwater is a pure form of water if stored properly and can greatly reduce the pressures on
treated water supply. Rainwater harvesting is therefore extremely essential for the following
reasons:(a)
It helps to recharge sub soil and groundwater thus increasing the level of the water
table.
(b)
It helps to create large quantity of pollution free potable water that can be stored in
huge tanks or ponds for use later on. In cities, it reduces the dependence on treated water
supply to a great extant.
(c)
It ensures ready supply of water on the land surface thereby reducing dependence
on the groundwater.
Types of Rainwater Harvesting Systems
16.
There are a number of ways to harvest rainwater, ranging from very simple to the complex
industrial systems. Generally, rainwater is either harvested from the ground or from a roof. The
rate at which water can be collected from either system is dependent on the plan area of the
system, its efficiency and the intensity of rainfall.
(a)
Ground Catchment Systems. Channelise water from a prepared catchment area
into a storage system. Generally, this method is only considered in areas, where rainwater
is very scarce and other sources of water are not available. They are more suited to small
communities than individual families. If properly designed, ground catchments can collect
large quantities of rainwater. This method is ideally suited for villages in rural India.
(b)
Roof Catchment Systems. Roof catchment systems channelise rainwater that
falls onto a roof, into a storage tank via a system of pipes. The first flush of rainwater after
a dry season, should be allowed to run to waste as, it will be contaminated with dust, bird
droppings etc. Rain Water from the subsequent showers can be harvested. Roofs and
pipes should have sufficient incline to avoid standing water. They must be strong enough
and large enough to carry peak flows. Storage tanks should be covered to prevent
mosquito breeding and to reduce evaporation losses, contamination and alge growth.
Rainwater harvesting systems require regular maintenance and cleaning, to keep the
system hygienic and in good working order. This method is most suited for towns and
cities.
(c)
Subsurface Dyke. A subsurface dyke is built in an aquifer to obstruct the natural
flow of groundwater, thereby raising the groundwater level and increasing the amount of
water stored in the aquifer. Example, the subsurface dyke at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kannur
under Kerala Agricultural University with the support of ICAR, has become an effective
method for ground water conservation by means of rain water harvesting technologies.
India. The dyke is now the largest rainwater harvesting system in that region.
17.
Groundwater Recharge. Rainwater may also be used to recharge groundwater where the
runoff on the ground is collected and allowed to be absorbed, adding to the groundwater. In India
this includes Bawdis and Johads, or Ponds which collect the run-off from small streams in a wide
area. In India, reservoirs called tankas were used to store water; typically they were shallow with
mud walls. Ancient tankas still exist in some places.
18.
Advantages In Urban Areas. Rainwater harvesting in urban areas can have manifold
advantages. Some of the reasons why rainwater harvesting can be adopted in cities, is to provide
supplemental water for the city's requirements, to increase soil moisture levels for urban greenery,
to increase the ground water table through artificial recharge, to mitigate urban flooding and to
improve the quality of groundwater. In urban areas of the developed world, at a household level,

283
harvested rainwater can be used for flushing toilets, washing laundry, showering or bathing. It may
however require some treatment before it can be used for drinking.
CONCLUSION
19.
Water is the only resource for which there is no alternative. Earth sustains life primarily
because there is water available on the earth. Inefficient management of this important natural
resource has caused a situation of crisis in many parts of the worlds including India, therefore it is
very important that we conserve this important commodity.

286
(a)

Segregation of household waste into bio-degradable and non-biodegradable.

(b)

Reduce use of plastic bags and replace with paper or jute/cloth bags.

(c)
Recyclable waste such as paper, glass, cloth etc could be segregated and disposed
off accordingly.
(d)
Keep the surroundings of your house and around the house clean. Do not dump
waste just outside the house on the road.
(e)

Colonies could start vermin-composting and natural composting.

(f)
What is waste for you, is wealth for somebody else. There has been a tradition in
India of finding an innovative use for everything - tyres, battery cases, plastic bins and what
not. Think of reuse of the thing you would like to discard.
Actions by Civic Bodies
8.

The major functions of civic body may include the following :-

(a)

Prohibiting littering of street.

(b)

Organizing house to house waste collection.

(c)

Conducting awareness programs to disseminate information to public.

(d)

Providing adequate community storage facilities.

(e)

Use of colour code bins and promotion of waste segregation.

(f)

Transport of wastes in covered vehicles.

(g)

Processing of wastes by adopting an appropriate combination of composting,

anaerobic digestion, Pellatisation etc.

(h)

Up gradation of the existing dump sites and Disposal of inert wastes in sanitary
landfills.
CONCLUSION
9.
Management of waste is an essential and an inescapable requirement today. We as
individuals also have to play our part in handling our household waste and help the government in
addressing this major problem.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Pollution means imbalance in the atmosphere caused by pollutants. Air gets polluted with
the smoke from homes, factories and vehicles. Water gets polluted by city and factory wastes.
Loud noises cause sound pollution. Pollution in fact, spreads diseases and makes life
uncomfortable on earth. Man has played a very crucial role in destroying the very essence of life
i.e. destruction of forests due to excessive urbanization. Due to increase in population and
industrialization, the forests have been exploited for wood from trees and land space.
Unscrupulous felling of trees has led to the destruction of the forest cover. Hence the air purifier
i.e. the trees which give us oxygen to survive have been depleted. Depletion of greenery and
forests and the pollution of the earths atmosphere have led to reduction of the protective ozone
layer and increase in global warming.

288
PART I :TYPES OF POLLUTION
6.
Soil Pollution. Todays industrialised society produces a huge amount of garbage, the
disposal of such wastes is a major problem, especially in the urban centers. Non-biodegradable
wastes such as polythene bags, which cannot be decomposed by natural agents like bacteria
have become a menace to the environment besides being health hazards. Use of chemical
fertilizers and pesticides containing harmful substances contaminates the soil. Soil may become
deficient in nutrients due to excessive cultivation or if the same crop is grown repeatedly on the
same plot.
7.
Water Pollution. Waste-water from our homes, hospitals and factories is usually
discharged in to the water bodies. Such water contains excreta, disease-causing micro-organisms
and harmful chemicals. It makes water unfit for drinking and may even kill aquatic plants and
animals. Harmful substances seeping through earth rainwater contaminate groundwater. Plant
nutrients derived from fertilizers and organic wastes like dead bodies thrown into water sometimes
cause excessive growth of weeds. Many aquatic
organisms die as a result of oil spills from
tankers. Leaking pipelines also pollute water organisms. Many species of birds and fish die from
contact with oil as it makes feathers and gills inactive.
8.
Air Pollution. Air pollution is caused mainly by harmful substances emitted into the
atmosphere by industries and automobiles. It causes respiratory diseases and affects the skin and
eyes. Some of the gases emitted by industries dissolve in rainwater to produce acid rain, which
can damage vegetation. Atmospheric ozone which protects us from harmful ultra-violet rays is
depleted due to release of certain carbon compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the
atmosphere. This also increases the risk of skin cancer and eye damage in humans.
9.
Sound Pollution. Sound produced from motor vehicles, trains, aero planes, factories,
sound during religious and political public meetings, noise produced by the masses and other
living creatures also plays an important role in producing sound pollution. It also affects the health
of human beings. Loud sound affects the human heart, create auditory problems and causes
mental stress.
PART II : CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF POLLUTION
Causes
10.

Soil & Water Pollution.

(a)
Discharge of Domestic Waste. Discharge of untreated domestic wastes like
human excreta, urine, washing of kitchen and laundry wastes directly into reservoirs of
water courses. The problem is particularly true of un sewered small towns or cities situated
close to the flowing rivers.
(b)
Discharge of Industrial Waste.
Industrial wastes comprise of organic and
inorganic chemical substances in minute or colloidal suspension which undergo microbial
decomposition resulting in products odoriferous or unacceptable in tastes or appearance
and are harmful to human beings.
(c)
Discharge of Agricultural Waste. The agricultural wastes are primarily due to
barnyard drainage or washing of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides and herbicides
into surface or ground water sources with the impetus on agricultural development. The
increasing use of such chemicals without forethought of health hazard involved is bound to
accentuate the pollution problems.

11.

Air Pollution.
(a)
Smoke is produced due to incomplete combustion of coal in industrial plants,
locomotives, furnaces etc. About 45% of smoke comes from industrial plants alone.

289
(b)
Dust, salt particle from oceans, pollens, spores, rust etc remain suspended in air
and is affected by large air movement, dispersing them into vast areas.
(c)
Gaseous impurities from chemical manufacturing industries like sulphur dioxide,
benzyl, carbon monoxide acid vapour, fumes etc often combine with the aqueous vapour of
the air and then intermingle with the smoke already present in the air.
(d)
Chloro Flouro Carbons (CFCs) used in air conditioning is responsible for depletion
of ozone layer of atmosphere.
(e)
Automobile exhaust gases in particular, exhaust from trucks and buses, contain
products of incomplete combustion, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane and unburnt
carbon.
12.

Sound Pollution. This has increased manifold over the years due to following :(a)
Increase in number of vehicles on the road, excessive use of horns, increase in
number of aircraft in the air.
(b)

Use of Loudspeakers of extremely high wattage at night.

(c)

Excessive use of fire crackers.

(d)

Increase in ultrasonic and electromagnetic sound waves from mobile towers.

Effects of Pollution
13.

Soil & Water Pollution.

(a)
The principal effect of pollution is to deplete the excessive organic load, the
dissolved oxygen content of receiving water to a point that stream becomes incapable of
exercising the self purification process. The de-oxygenation may be sufficient to destroy
practically all the aquatic life.
(b)
Pollution of stream by causing suspended solids to deposit on the stream bed
causing silting, and the organic matter undergoing purification with the solid matters
buoyed up by gas rising to the top thus resulting in floating masses of sludge.
(c)
Use of polluted water downstream by communities for their daily requirements may
cause the sporadic outbreaks of water borne diseases.
(d)
Polluted waters are also difficult to be treated and it is found that treatment plants
have to incur increased costs in handling such waters.
(e)
Agricultural soil becomes unfit for agriculture due to, excessive poisonous
chemicals.
(f)
Crop produced in contaminated soil or soil irrigated with contaminated water is unfit
for human consumption. If consumed, it has short term as well as long-term serious health
effects.

14.

Air Pollution.
(a)

Occurrence of diseases like silicosis (respiratory disease), rickets, dental caries.

(b)
Deterioration of health in the form of nausea, headache, loss of appetite and
irritation due to high sulphur dioxide content in air.

290
(c)
The incidence of cancer is being increasingly related with the smoke and
from industrial plants.

fumes

(d)
Smoke severely interferes with normal course of sunshine and visibility resulting in
the possibility of untoward accidents.
(e)
Due to sound pollution from mobile towers, many birds have like the sparrow have
vanished from the cities, disturbing the ecological balance.
Measures to Control Pollution
15.

Measures to control pollution include the following:(a)

To develop consciousness among common people to control all pollution. Plant
more and more trees.
(b)
The use of loud horns or mindless blowing of horns by motor vehicles should be
banned.
(c)

The water bodies should not be used as waste reservoirs.

(d)
Various sources of drinking water, and water resources should be well protected so
that dirty water does not enter these water bodies.
(e)

Environmental education should be made compulsory in all educational institutions.

(f)

Excessive use of pesticides and insecticides should be avoided.

(g)
In all towns and cities there should be proper arrangement of dustbins to collect
garbage being produced in the houses.
(h)
In the factories strict precaution should be instituted to avoid pollution of various
types.
(j)

Running of old and pollution emitting vehicle should be banned.

(k)
The pollution control Administrative Authorities must have independent powers to
implement their decisions.
Role of the NCC Cadets in Curbing the Menace of Pollution
16.
NCC being one of the largest youth organisations has to play a significant role towards the
pollution control. A youth can guide and contribute by educating others about the dangers of
pollution. We have to respect our environment and natural resources and not pollute the same.
Rivers and water bodies must be kept clean as water is an essential resource and it cannot be
wasted. In fact every drop has to be saved. Cadets can visit villages and guide the farmers
regarding the use of natural manure instead of chemical fertilizer produced after generating
industrial waste.
CONCLUSION
17.
In order to stop the pollution menace, we need to take help from every individual in society.
It is the duty of every NCC cadet, to contribute towards this end through personal example and by
educating others about various constitutional rights on the subject of pollution.

ENERGY means any form of energy derived from fossil fuels, nuclear substances or
materials, hydro-electricity and includes electrical energy or electricity generated from renewable
sources of energy or bio-mass connected to the grid. Energy conservation refers to various ways
and methods of reducing energy consumption by economising on the use of a particular source of
energy.
AIM
4.

To acquaint the cadets about Energy Conservation.

PREVIEW

5.

The lecture will be conducted in following parts:(a)

Part I

Reasons for Increase in Energy Consumption.

(b)

Part II

Energy Conservation Measures.

PART I : REASONS FOR INCREASE IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION

General
6.
The main sources of energy which are under severe strain and in extremely short supply
are electricity and fuel. Energy conservation is the management of processes and policies,
designed to reduce energy usage. Energy conservation can be achieved only by reducing
consumption of energy by, either preventing wasteful use of energy or by using energy efficient
products.
7.
Reasons for Increase in Energy Consumption. Over the years, the rate of energy
consumption has been increasing at an alarming speed, leading to various environmental

292
problems, besides putting extra strain on the meager resources. The major causes for increase in
higher energy consumption can be attributed to the following:(a)
Population Explosion. Exponential population growth has had a direct bearing on
the energy consumption. More people means - more requirement of energy per person.
(b)
Migration of Rural Population to Urban Areas. Large
chunks
of
rural
population have migrated to urban centres including Tier II and Tier III cities in India. This
population needs housing, electricity, transport etc which have put a heavy toll on energy
consumption.
(c)
Increased Manufacturing. Increased manufacturing is the need of the day.
However, more energy is required for the same.
(d)
Increased Number of Vehicles. As the per capita income of people all over the
world is increasing especially in India, there has been a great upsurge in production of
vehicles, thus needing increased amount of fuel.
(e)
Transmission Losses. Poor infrastructure across the country leads to higher
energy losses due transmission or pilferage.
(f)
Poor Usage Habits of Individuals. This is one of the most significant reasons for
high energy consumption in India. Insufficient knowledge and poor habits cause massive
energy wastage.
(g)
Poor Building Designs. Buildings made with scant consideration to efficient
energy usage were built all over the country thus increasing the consumption.
PART II : ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
8.
Energy Saving Building Designs. Construction of industrial / domestic buildings with
energy efficient designs, to reduce the consumption of electricity on air conditioning and lighting.
9.
Use of Energy Efficient Equipment / Implements. Use of energy efficient equipment /
gadgets like ACs, Heaters, Tube lights, CFLs, Frost Free Refrigerators, Distribution Transformers,
Induction Motors, Direct Cool Refrigerator, Geysers, Ceiling Fans, TVs / LCDs, Agricultural Pump
Sets, LPG Stoves and Washing Machines etc contribute immensely in reducing the consumption
of electricity. Use of solar lighting / heating gadgets also contributes towards saving large quantity
of electricity.
10.
Public Lighting. This is a large consumer of electricity. Hence, energy saving / efficient
equipment like CFLs, Halogen Lamps, Distributors and Solar Lighting must be used in a big way to
conserve electricity.
11.
Usage Habits. Everyone must be passionate about preventing wasteful use of electricity.
Strict measures should be enforced to switch off all lights which are not required during day or at
night at homes, offices or public places.
12.
Public Transport System. Efficient, speedy and reliable public transport system with fuel
efficient vehicles must be employed. This can reduce a large burden of the fuel energy, by
reducing the number of personal vehicles on the road.
13.
Energy Efficient Infrastructure. This includes creation of high quality roads, rails and
transmission methods to reduce wasteful use of electric and fuel energy.
14.
Preventing Pilferage. Large quantity of electricity, coal and fuel is pilfered by people
during transmission and transporting causing huge losses. This pilferage must be reduced at all
costs.

293
CONCLUSION
15.
The increasing preference for commercial energy has led to a sharp increase in the
demand for electricity and fossil fuels. There is still a considerable potential for reducing energy
consumption by adopting energy efficiency measures at various sectors of our country including
individual and collective community level initiatives.

INTRODUCTION
3.
The Indian subcontinent is blessed with a natural habitat of a large and varied wildlife. We
can find some of the most magnificent as well as the rarest wildlife species of the world in the
country. The beauty and variety we see in the jungles of India is difficult to be expressed in words.
However, the past few decades have seen the greed and negligence of human beings leading to
large-scale poaching, habitat destruction, resulting in animal - human conflict with rapid decline in
the population of most of the wild animals and birds.
4.
Conservation of Wildlife in India has slowly and gradually been understood by all. Today,
efforts are being made towards wildlife conservation to preserve this natural wealth. Numerous
wildlife conservation projects have been undertaken in India, both, at the government, as well as
the individual level, to protect the wildlife of the subcontinent.

PART I : WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

Need for Conservation
7.

Threats to Wildlife. The major threats being faced by the wildlife in India are:-

295
(a)
Decreasing Capacity. The wildlife sanctuaries of India have become overcrowded
and their capacity has decreased to quite an extent. This is one of the major reasons for
the depleting population of wild animals in India.
(b)
Increasing Fatalities. Tourism in the national parks of the country is increasing day
by day. One of the reasons for this is a rise in the popularity of eco-tourism and adventure
tourism. This has led to a growth in vehicle pollution increasing wildlife road fatalities, apart
from leading to a damage of the natural habitat of birds and animals.
(c)
Increasing Forest Fires. Increase in forest fires due to campfires by visitors or
deliberate fires by poachers / villagers has had a damaging effect. These fires not only kill
animals, but also destroy their natural habitat.
(d)
Increased Motor Boat Activity. The wildlife of coastal areas is constantly
disturbed by personal watercrafts, like jet skis or wave runners. These personal watercrafts
enter shallow waters and expel nesting birds from their roosts. Such activities are
disturbing the mating pattern of birds.
(e)
Release of Chemicals/Toxins. Releasing of chemicals and other toxic effluents
into the water bodies has led to poisoning of the water. The animals and birds drinking
such water face a fatal threat. Even the population of fish, living in such water bodies, is
declining at a fast pace.
(f)
Climate Changes. The climate changes taking place in the world today, are
affecting not only humans, but also the wildlife. The natural habitat as well as migration
patterns of the animals and birds is experiencing disturb patterns.
(g)
Increase in Poaching. The threat of poaching has been haunting the wildlife of
India since ages. Even after the establishment of wildlife sanctuaries and national parks,
the threat of poaching has not been totally eliminated.
8.
Maintenance of Food-Chain.
Conservation of wildlife is extremely important for
sustaining the natural ecosystem. All living organisms of the biosphere are connected to each
other by a common factor of food. Animals form a very important part of this food chain and there
is a need to maintain equilibrium. Any disruption to this food chain can have major effects.
Herbivores and carnivores are required to maintain the appropriate balance of nature. If all lions,
tigers and other big cats vanish from the earth, the deer population would increase manifold thus
bringing a disastrous effect on the plants and grass. Therefore it is essential that the population of
carnivores is maintained through wildlife conservation.
Wildlife Conservation Measures
9.
Wildlife Projects.
Measures to conserve Indian Wildlife include various Projects such
as Project Tiger, Jungle Lodges and Nature Camps. These are the measures taken towards the
conservation of Indian wildlife. It also includes reduced cutting of trees, since it is clear that when
forests are cut down, wildlife is naturally threatened. Some beautiful and interesting species have
already become extinct. Further, measures for conservation of Indian wildlife have been taken for
curbing secret poaching and shooting that can lead to the complete extinction of rhinoceros, the
famous Royal Bengal tiger and the elephant.
10.
Expansion of Sanctuary System. Habitat creation was another important measure, like
for instance, various National Parks, Zoological Parks, Botanical Gardens, Sanctuaries and
Biosphere Reserves have been constructed that serve as protected areas for the wildlife. They
help in conserving the wild life in their state.
11.

Breeding in captivity has also helped in the survival of many wild life species.

12.
Mass Awareness and Education. Another important significant measure of conservation
of Indian wildlife is mass awareness and education. Awareness about the endangered species and

296
wildlife is considered essential for protecting them. People are educated and encouraged to
participate in preservation processes of wildlife.
13.
Wildlife Protection Act 1972.
Hunting has been made punishable by law in many
countries including India. In 1972, Wildlife protection Act was passed which provides legal
protection to wildlife and endangered species in particular.
PART II : WILDLIFE PROJECTS IN INDIA
14.
General. The need to create wild life projects is to preserve the endangered species. It
must be understood that some animal species are more endangered than others, because their
numbers have fallen to alarming levels due to poaching, reduction of habitat, pollution of water
bodies and other man made disturbances like electromagnetic waves from mobile towers. Some
of these projects are funded by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) while, others are funded by the
Government.
15.
Project Tiger. In order to save the Tiger, the Indian government started the 'Project Tiger'
in 1973-74, with the objective of restraining, as well as augmenting the declining population of
tigers in the country. Under the project, nine wildlife sanctuaries were taken over and developed
into tiger reserves. These reserves were developed as exact replicas of the varied terrains of the
country, with their core area being free of any human movement. With time, the number of
sanctuaries under the ambit of 'Project Tiger' was increased and by 2003, it had been increased to
27. Project Tiger helped increase the population of these tigers from 1,200 in the 1970s to 1700 in
2011.
16.
Project Elephant. Project Elephant (PE), is a centrally sponsored scheme, launched in
February 1992, to provide financial and technical support to major elephant bearing States in the
country, for protection of elephants, their habitats and corridors. It also seeks to address the issues
of human-elephant conflict and welfare of domesticated elephants. The Project is being
implemented in 13 States / UTs , viz. Andhra Pradesh , Arunachal Pradesh , Assam , Jharkhand ,
Karnataka , Kerala , Meghalaya , Nagaland , Orissa , Tamil Nadu , Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh
and West Bengal. 25 Elephant Reserves (ERs) extending over about 58,000 sq km have been
formally notified by various State Governments till now. The estimated population of wild elephants
is in excess of 25000.
17.
Project Hangul. The Kashmiri stag also called Hangul is a subspecies of Central Asian
Red Deer native to Northern India. This deer lives in groups of two to 18 individuals in dense
riverine forests, high valleys and mountains of the Kashmir Valley and Northern Chamba, in
Himachal Pradesh. In Kashmir, it is found in the Dachigam National Park, at elevations of 3,035
meters. The population of these deers has fallen from 5,000 animals in the beginning of the 20th
century to about only about 150 animals by 1970. However, the state of Jammu & Kashmir, along
with the IUCN and the WWF prepared a project for the protection of these animals, named as
Project Hangul. This brought great results and the population of this species has now increased to
over 340 by 1980.
18.
Crocodile Conservation Project. The Indian Crocodile Conservation Project is
considered among the more successful of conservation initiatives in the world. It has pulled back
the once threatened crocodilians from the brink of extinction and placed them on a good path of
recovery. The Project has not just produced a large number of crocodiles, but has contributed
towards conservation in a number of related fields as well.
19.
Project Sea Turtle. A significant proportion of worlds Olive Ridley Turtle population
migrates every winter to Indian coastal waters, for nesting mainly at Eastern Coast I Orissa. The
Ministry of Environment & Forests in 1999 has initiated the Sea Turtle Conservation Project in
collaboration with UNDP, with the objective of conservation of Olive Ridley Turtles and other
endangered marine turtles. The Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun has been designated as the
Implementing Agency. The project is being implemented in 10 coastal States of the country with
special emphasis in the State of Orissa.

297
20.
Vulture Conservation in India. India has nine species of vultures in the world. The
population of three species i.e. White-backed Vulture, Slender-billed Vulture and Long- billed
Vulture in the wild has declined drastically over the past decade. The decline of Gyps genus in
India has been put at 97% by 2005.Due to this evidence, all three vulture species were listed by
IUCN, the World Conservation Union, in 2000 as Critically Endangered. The workshop to prepare
an Asian Vulture Recovery Plan held at Parwanoo in Himachal Pradesh, India in February 2004
recommended the establishment of captive holding and captive breeding facilities for three species
of Gyps vultures at six different places in South Asia, besides implementing a ban on veterinary
use of Diclofenac. These centres would serve as source for reintroduction of the birds after
removal of the cause of mortality from the environment.
21.
Indo-Russian Cooperation on Migratory Birds. MoEF has also signed a protocol with
Russian counterpart, for conservation of migratory bird species between the two countries. It has
been agreed to develop joint projects of mutual interest on migration and nesting behaviour of
Siberian Cranes and common cranes and also to exchange scientific and official information on
issues relating to wetland management, conservation of avi-fauna etc.
22.
Other Projects. After the success of animal projects, the government has now initiated
several new projects for conservation of other endangered animals like, The Himalayan Musk
Deer Ecology and Conservation Project, Project Lion, Project Snow Leopard and endangered
Birds / Pheasant Projects.
CONCLUSION
23.
The Indian subcontinent is blessed with a natural habitat of a large and varied wildlife. We
can find some of the most magnificent as well as the rarest wildlife species of the world in the
country.

INTRODUCTION
3.
Parasailing is also known as Parascending or Parakiting. It is a recreational kiting activity
where a person is towed behind a vehicle or a boat while attached to a specially designed canopy
wing that reminds one of a parachute, known as parasail wing. On land or over water the manned
kites moving anchor may be a car, truck or a boat. Parasailing just by kiting in heavy winds should
be discouraged. The vehicle pulling the parasail should have enough pulling power. The
parascender has little or no control over the parachute.
4.
There are six parts of a parasail. The harness attaches the person to the parasail, which is
connected to the vehicle through the tow rope. The sport should not be confused with paragliding.
The first international competitions were held in the mid 80s and continue to run today.

PART I : PARASAILING GEAR

299
8.
One of the most popular recreational activities today is parasailing If you have researched
parasailing and you have decided that this is something that you would like to pursue there are
many things that you should know prior to making your first launch One of the most important
things that you should consider is the appropriate gear that is involved to perform in parasailing
activities. It is also important to have the will and nerve to take your first launch in parasailing.
However, if you have the appropriate parasailing gear, parasailing can be easy for anyone who
wishes to pursue it. Parasailing gear that will be required to perform this activity is as follows :(a)
One of the most important things to parasailing is the clothes that you choose to
wear while performing this activity. While you have the freedom to wear whatever you want
to wear, it is very important that you select clothing that will be comfortable and easy for
you to maneuver in. You can actually buy jumpsuits and clothing that are appropriate for
parasailing. While many people see this as an added expense, there are many people who
see this as an added bonus.
(b)
Another important piece of parasailing gear is the actual paraglide. Basically this is
a parachute that has the added features of a bar that you can use to help you fly effectively
in parasailing.
(c)
When you perform in parasailing activities, you should have a harness that you
strap that will attach you to the paraglide. This way, if you slip or lose contact with your
hands. The harness will help hold you in place.
(b)
You may want to purchase a pair of gloves to hold the paraglide with to ensure that
your hands are protected while you are flying in parasailing.
(e)
Many people choose to have a helmet when they participate in parasailing
activities. Many accidents can occur while you are parasailing and it is extremely important
that you protected. The head is one area that should be properly protected when you are
engaging in parasailing.
(f)
You should ensure that the boat that is pulling you along in the air has a
experienced driver and the correct amount of fuel. It is important that the boat that pulls you
while you are parasailing is sturdy and dependable, You do not want to be up in the air and
have your harness fall from the boat In the same respect you do not want to be parasailing
and the boat run out of fuel.
(g)
When you decide to go parasailing it is important that you make sure that you have
all the proper gear in order to do so. Ensuring that you are prepared and you are safe is the
single most important aspect of parasailing gear.
(h)
The Parasailing Equipment mainly consist of a Glider, which in its inflated firm
offers resistance to the wind and the air, Then there is a harness which is attached to the
paraglide and the pilot for safety purpose. A helmet and a extra parachute is there for the
safety and the emergency landing of the pilot VARIOMETER is the main instrument for
gauging the ascent and the descent of the pilot.
PARTII : TYPES OF PARASAILING & PARASAILING SAFETY TIPS
9.

In India, mainly three type of Parasailing are the most popular ones:(a)
Winch Boat Parasailing. In this sort of Parasailing the ascent and descent of the
parasail or takes place from the boat itself The boat in the sea is well equipped with
parasailing equipments It has a parasail inflation system and hydraulic winch powered by
the main drive engine, These two help in launching and retrieving the parasail or from the
flight deck.

300
(b)
Beach Parasailing. As the name suggests the beach is the main ground for the
ascent and descent of the parasail or It is much more complicated than the Which boat
Parasailing , Even the most experienced par sailors are not approved for this without prior
permission.
(c)
Platform Parasailing. In this sort of Parasailing one flies under the winds which are
below 5 to 15 mph, away from rough ocean and poor weather conditions and other things
close to proximity.
11.

Safety. Safety tips advised by the Parasail Safety Council are as follows:(a)
Licensing. Make sure you parasail with a fully licensed (state & local) company
operating from a well established location insured by a licensed insurance company. Dont
pay for your ride on the boat This operator may not have a licensed or be insured.
(b)
Established Operators. Only parasail with established business operators. Dont
be afraid to ask how long they ve been in business if there business permits are current
with the City and if the operator onboard is a US Coast Guard Licensed Captain.
(c)
High Winds. You should avoid parasailing in high wind conditions (over 15 knots at
sea level) due to an increased difficulty and complications during emergency water
landings updates 09/201.
(d)

Visibility. Never go up in rain fog or an approaching storm.

(e)
Passenger Age And Weight Restrictions. Parasailing is not recommend for
individuals under the age of 16 or whos exceeds 300 Ibs.
(f)
Types of Equipment. Make certain that you get adequate safety briefing prior to
your flight This safety briefing should include, a) a description of the activity itself, b) safety
procedures in the event of an unexpected emergencies, C )the porper use signals while
landing fire or capsizing e) precluding any participant who appears to be afraid or
intimidated prior to their aerial excursion.
(g)
Altitude Parasailing at an altitude of more than 600 feet is discouraged especially
in close proximity to the shoreline or other objects The recommended altitude for using
hand signals and recovery during water landings over Open Ocean is 600 and 300 feet
over small lakes bays or sounds ( figures based on ideal wind and sea conditions with
limited traffic).
(h)
Ask Questons. Ask all the right questions How long have you been in business?
Do you have Insurance by a licensed Agent in this State? is good flying weather today?
(j)
Release From. Read the release form carefully before you sign it. Parasailing
does have physical requirements, especially in the event of a water landing.
CONCLUSION
10.
A special parachute with wing like extensions that lifts a rider in its harness up and through
the air when towed by an automobile or motorboat gives an absolutely thrilling experience It also
instills adventurous spirit and develops courage to face the challenges.

INTRODUCTION
3.
The literal definition of the word slithering is to slide or glide, like a reptile. This can be
better explained as descending from a height, most of the times a bridge, slowly at a controlled
pace and touch the surface underneath. the thrill in this sport is to see the ground coming closer
and closer as you descend down and feel the wind in your hair and with no support besides a
rope, which one is tied with.
4.
It is also known as fast roping. Fast-roping, also known as Fast Rope Insertion
Extraction System (FRIES), is a technique for descending a thick rope. It is useful for deploying
troops from a helicopter in places where the helicopter itself cannot touch down. First developed
by the British with UK rope manufacturer Marlow Ropes, its first combat use was during the
Falkland War . The original rope was a thick nylon that could be used in a manner akin to
a Firepole. The special ropes used today are braided (plaited), which results in pattern on the
outer circumference that is not smooth and so is easier to grip. Originally, each person would hold
the rope for the next person; however this has been phased out.

302
PART I : GENERAL INFORMATION
7.
Slithering is quicker than abseiling (rappelling), although more dangerous, particularly if the
person is carrying a heavy load, because the rope is not attached to them with a descender . The
person holds onto the rope with his gloved hands and feet and slides down it. The British method
advises not to use the feet as this can make the descent for following personnel more dangerous
because boot polish or the leather of the boot can make the rope extremely slippery. Several
people can slide down the same rope simultaneously, provided that there is a gap of
approximately 3 meters (9.8 ft) between them, so that each one has time to get out of the way
when they reach the ground. The rope must be thick, typically 40 millimeters (1.6 in) diameter, to
prevent it from being wildly jerked about from the rotor blast of the helicopter. It is essential to
wear gloves , as sliding down a rope generates great heat from friction.
8.
Fast roping onto a ship can take approximately 30 seconds, and is used when a rapid build
up of boarding forces is required.
9.

What can go wrong? Three things:

(a)
You can see in the first video that people who are fast-roping are vulnerable to
small arms fire, both as they exit the helicopter and as they descend the rope.
(b)
People who are new to fast-roping can misjudge their speed and land hard. This
can also happen if the backpack weighs a hundred pounds or the gloves are too thin (the
following 17-second video may contain one expletive at the end, but contains an excellent
example of a fast-roping error).
PART II : SLITHERING EQUIPMENT

10.

Equipment.
(a)
Rope. The rope has to be that thick for two reasons. Firstly if it is too thin it is hard
to grip and causes too much friction (even with gloves). Secondly if it is too thin, all the
wind from the props down wash will whip it around. Worst case scenario is that a thin rope
somehow whips into the main rotor or the tail rotor. The rope should meet the following
specifications:(i)

The rope should be made of polyester armide.

(ii)

The diameter of the rope should be 12mm.

(iii)

The rope should have a working load of minimum 700 Kgs.

(iv)

The rope should have a tenacity of minimum 700 K.

(b)
Gloves.
Each member of the team must wear proper fast rope gloves when
sliding down the rope. The gloves need some thought as well. Braking your descent with
your hands means friction and therefore heat. Too much heat can be a real problem, so
thick or padded gloves are preferred. You do not want to fast-rope with a pair of thin gloves
or bare hands.
(c)
Boots. They must also wear a reliable pair of boots to provide support both in the
slide and the landing.
(d)
Helmet and Knee Pads. It is advisable that protection such as a helmet and knee
pads be worn to protect the soldier in the event of a rough landing.

303
PART III : USES AND TECHNIQUES OF SLITHERING
12.
Uses. Slithering is most commonly used in three situations which make landing a
helicopter a potential safety hazard which are as follows :(a)

When ground is soft or uneven making for a dangerous landing situation.

(b)
Deployment into an urban setting with low building rooftops can be completed using
a fast rope without having to find a large clearing to set down the helicopter.
(c)
A slithering deployment can be used when there is risk of fire from the opposition
as fast roping shortens the time required to get the soldiers down and on to the ground,
then the helicopter moved is out of danger.
13.
Techniques. Proper technique for the sliders is essential in ensuring that an individual on
the line does not deploy too fast, risking injury on landing or falling off the line altogether. Going
too slowly can cause a logjam, forcing a longer deployment time. To fast rope, the soldier grabs
onto the rope with both hands then steps out of the helicopter. Using both feet the soldier pinches
the rope between their boots and then increases the pressure on the rope to regulate their speed.
CONCLUSION
14.
Fast roping is an insertion technique used by Special Forces in the military to deploy into a
location rapidly. Whether the helicopter carrying the soldiers cannot land because of the terrain or
because of fire on the helicopter from enemy forces on the ground, dropping fast ropes allows the
soldiers to disembark safely and the helicopter to leave the dangerous area. Although fast roping
has many benefits, it is not without its risks to the soldiers deploying. While the helicopter is
deploying the troops it is a sitting duck, a situation which led to the famous "Black Hawk Down"
encounter in Somalia in which helicopters deploying US Special Forces troops were shot down.
Additionally, if the helicopter is forced to perform evasive maneuvers it can endanger soldiers on
the rope or near the exit to the helicopter, as can a loss of grip as a soldier is sliding down the
rope.

3.
Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock
formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of
a pre-defined route without falling. Rock climbing competitions have objectives of completing the
route in the quickest possible time or the farthest along an increasingly difficult route.

PART I : ROCK CLIMBING EQUIPMENT

8.

A Wide Range of Equipment Is Used During Rock Climbing. They are as follows :(a)

Rope and Webbing. Ropes used for climbing can be divided into two classes:(i)
Dynamic Ropes.
These are designed to absorb the energy of a falling
climber, and are usually used as Belaying ropes. When a climber falls, the rope
stretches, reducing the maximum force experienced by the climber, their belayer.

305
(ii)
Low Elongation Ropes.
Low elongation ropes are also called static
ropes which stretch much less, and are usually used in anchoring systems. They
are also used for abseiling (rappeling) and as fixed ropes .
(b)
Webbing Or "Tape" Made Of Nylon. When webbing is sewn or tied together at
the ends, it becomes a sling or runner. Webbing has many uses such as:(i)

Extending the distance between protection and a tie-in point.

(ii)

An anchor around a tree or rock or an anchor extension or equalization.

(iii)

Makeshift harnesses.

(iv)

Carrying equipment (clipped to a sling worn over the shoulder).

(v)

Protecting a rope that hangs over a sharp edge (tubular webbing).

(c)
Carabiners. Carabiners are metal loops with spring-loaded gates (openings), used
as connectors and they are primarily made from steel. There are two major varieties:
locking and non-locking carabiners.
(d)
Quickdraws. Quickdraws (often referred to as "draws") are used by climbers to
connect ropes to bolt anchors, or to other traditional protection, allowing the rope to move
through the anchoring system with minimal friction.
(d)
Harnesses. A harness is a system used for connecting the rope to the climber.
There are two loops at the front of the harness where the climber ties into the rope at the
working end using a figure eight knot. Most harnesses used in climbing are pre-constructed
and are worn around the pelvis and hips, although other types are used occasionally.
(e)
Belay Devices. Belay devices are mechanical friction brake devices used to control
a rope when belaying. Their main purpose is to allow the rope to be locked off with minimal
effort to arrest a climber's fall.
(f)
Rappel Devices (Descenders). These devices are friction brakes which are
designed for descending ropes. Many belay devices can be used as descenders.
(g)
Ascenders. Ascenders are mechanical devices for ascending on a rope. They
are also called Jumars.
(h)
Helmet. The climbing helmet is a piece of safety equipment that primarily protects
the skull against falling debris.
(j)
Climbing Shoes. Specifically designed foot wear is usually worn for climbing to
increase the grip of the foot on a climbing wall or rock face.
(k)
Belay Gloves. Belay gloves are constructed from either leather or a synthetic
substitute. They typically have heat resistant padding on the palm and fingers.
PART II : ROCK CLIMBING TECHNIQUES
9.
A climbing technique is any type or combination of body posture , movement, or hold used
in climbing. These are described as follows:(a)

General Terms.
(i)

Arm Bar, Elbow Bar. Jamming an arm into a crack and locking it into place.

306
(ii)
Bridging or Stemming. Climbing a corner with the legs apart, one against
each face, with the feet relying on friction or very small holds.
(iii)
Campusing. Campusing arms. The word itself is derived from the power
training done on a set of campus boards.
(iv)

Chest Jam. Jamming the torso into a wide crack, for resting.

(v)
Chimneying. Climbing between opposing rock faces, with the back and
hands against one face, and the feet against the other face, or alternating between
both.
(vi)

Crimp or Crimping. Grabbing on to a hold with the fingertips alone.

(vii)
Dyno. The term is an abbreviation of dynamic maneuver. Using the
momentum of a movement or jump to reach a hold beyond your reach. Ideally,
gravity brings the movement to a stop at the "dead point", i.e., when the hands
reach the hold. When using this technique, the climber often leaves all contact with
the wall.
(viii) Egyptian, Drop Knee or Lolotte. Method for reducing tension in arms
when holding a side grip. One knee ends up in a lower position with the body
twisted towards the other leg. It can give a longer reach as the body and shoulders
twist towards a hold.
(ix)
Egyptian Bridging. The same position as bridging, but with one leg in front
and one behind the body.
(x)
Extremity Jams. Jamming involves taking advantage of a body part in a
crack for the friction it produces to support a share of body weight.
(xi)
Gaston. Pulling sideways and outwards, akin to opening a pair of sliding
doors. Normally cracks are climbed by jamming hands or fingersor any part of the
body that fitsin the crack to hold oneself.
(xii)
Heel Hook. Using the back of the heel to apply pressure to a hold, for
balance or leverage; this technique requires pulling with the heel of a foot by flexing
the hamstring. This technique is notable since in most forms of climbing one uses
the toes to push.
(xiii) Laybacking. Climbing a vertical edge by side-pulling the edge with both
hands and relying on friction or very small holds for the feet.
(xiv) Manteling or Mantel Shelfing. Boosting upwards using only the arms and
ending with arms fully extended downwards. The motion is akin to getting out of a
swimming pool without using the ladder.
(xv)
No-hands Rest. Method for resting without using the hands, such as
standing on footholds, or using a knee bar (jamming a knee into a large crack).
(xvi) Smearing. Relying solely upon the friction of a flat surface, usually with the
feet, to keep from falling. This is possible primarily due to the sticky rubber soles
ubiquitously used in modern climbing shoes.
(xvii) Toe Hook. A toe hook is securing the upper side of the toes on a hold. It
helps pull the body inwardstowards the wall. The toe hook is often used on
overhanging rock where it helps to keep the body from swinging away from the wall.

307
(b)

Jams Using Feet.

(i)
Foot Jam. This technique is also known as the heel-to-toe jam. It involves
jamming the foot into a larger crack by twisting the foot into place, the contact with
the crack being on the heel and toes.
(ii)
Toe jam in a crack: When the foot is too large, the toe jam is used by
locking the toes into a crack and lowering the heel down.

10.
Flagging. Where one foot is not placed on a foot hold and the leg is held in a position to
maintain balance, rather than to support weight. This is often useful to prevent barn-dooring. The
flagging foot may be pressed against the wall or may simply hang in space depending on what will
best maintain balance.
11.

Basic Flagging Positions.

(a)
Normal Flag. Where the flagging foot stays on the same side, (e.g. flagging with
the right foot out to the right side of the body).
(b)
Reverse Inside Flag. Where the flagging foot is crossed in front of the foot that is
on a foot hold.
(c)
Reverse Outside Flag. Where the flagging foot is crossed behind the foot that is,
on a foot hold.
PART III : SAFETY TIPS

12.

Use the following 10 tips to keep safe when you're out rock climbing:(a)
Always Check Harnesses. After youve geared up, always check that both the
climbers and belayers harness buckles are doubled back.
(b)
Always Check Knots. Before you start climbing, always double check that
leaders tie-in knot (usually a Figure-8 Follow-Through) is tied right and finished with a
backup knot. Also check that the rope is threaded through both the harness waist loop and
the leg loops.
(c)
Always Wear a Helmet. A climbing helmet is essential if you want to live long and
prosper. Always wear one when climbing or belaying. Helmets protect your head from
falling rocks and from the impact of falling.
(d)
Always Check the Rope and Belay Device. Before you lead a route, always
double check that the rope is properly threaded through the belay device. Also, always
make sure the rope and belay device are attached with a locking carabineer to the
belayers harness.
(e)
Always Use a Long Rope. Make sure your climbing rope is long enough to reach
the anchors and lower back down on a sport route or to reach a belay ledge on multi-pitch
routes. When sport climbing, if you have any doubt that the rope is too short, always tie a
stopper knot in the tail end to avoid being dropped to the ground.
(f)
Always Pay Attention. When youre belaying, always pay attention to the leader
above. Hes the one taking the risks of a fall. Dont visit with other climbers at the base, talk
on a cell phone, or discipline your dog or kids. Never take the leader off belay unless you
are absolutely certain he is tied in and safe and he communicates that to you.
(g)
Always Bring Enough Gear. Before you climb a route, always eyeball it from the
ground and determine what you need to bring. You know best. Dont rely strictly on a

308
guidebook to tell you what to bring. If its a sport route, verify visually how
many bolts need quick draws. If in doubtalways bring more than you think you need.
(j)
Always Climb With the Rope Over Your Leg. When youre leading, always make
sure the rope is over your leg rather than between them or behind one. If you fall with the
rope in this position, you will flip upside down and hit your head. Wear a helmet for
protection.
(k)
Always Properly Clip the Rope. Make sure you always clip your rope through
carabineers on quick draws correctly. Avoid back clipping, where the rope runs front to
back rather than back to front in the carabineer. Make sure the carabineer gate faces
opposite your direction of travel, otherwise the rope can come unclipped. Always
use locking carabiners on important placements.
(l)
Always Use Safe Anchors. At the top of a pitch or route, always use at least two
anchors. Three is better. Redundancy keeps you alive. On a sport route, always
use locking carabineers if youre lowering down to top-rope off the anchors.
CONCLUSION
13.
Rock climbing is a physically and mentally demanding sport, one that often tests a
climber's strength, endurance, agility and balance along with mental control. It can be a dangerous
sport and knowledge of proper climbing techniques and usage of specialized climbing
equipment is crucial for the safe completion of routes. Because of the wide range and variety of
rock formations around the world, rock climbing has been separated into several different styles
and sub-disciplines. While not an Olympic event, rock climbing is recognized by the International
Olympic Committee as a sport.

Cycling on refers to cycling over long distances prioritizing pleasure and endurance over
utility or speed. Cycling can range from single day rides to multi-day trips. Tours may be planned
and organised by the Cadets for themselves and also for organizing rallies for various Social
activities to spread awareness as well as to convey a message to people in remote and far flung
areas.
4.
Trekking is a long, adventurous journey undertaken on foot, in areas where common
means of transport are generally not available. Trekking is not necessarily mountaineering. It is
walking for a number of days, usually on uncharted paths, in challenging environments which are
likely to be hilly or mountainous. The Himalayan routes are famous for attracting a large number of
trekkers.

310
PART I : CYCLING AND SAFETY MEASURES
Types of Cycle Touring / Expeditions
7.
In cycling distances vary considerably. Depending on fitness, speed and the number of
stops, the rider usually covers between 50150 kilometres (3090 miles) per day. A short tour over
a few days may cover as little as 200 kilometres (120 miles) and a long tour may go right across a
country or around the world. Various types of expeditions are as follows:(a)
Lightweight Touring. Informally called credit-card touring, in this a rider carries a
minimum of equipment and a lot of money. Overnight accommodation is in youth hostels
hotels, or Bed & Breakfast houses. Food can be bought at cafes, restaurants or markets.
(b)
Ultralight Touring. This differs from credit card touring in that, the rider is selfsufficient but carries only the bare essentials and no frills.
(c)
Fully Loaded Touring. Also known as self-supported touring, cyclists carry
everything they need, including food, cooking equipment, and a tent for camping. Some
cyclists minimize their load, carrying only basic supplies, food, and a Bivouac sack or
lightweight tent.
(d)
Expedition Touring. In this the cyclists travel extensively, often through developing
nations or remote areas. The bicycle is loaded with food, spares, tools, and camping
equipment so that the traveler is largely self-supporting.
(e)
Mixed Terrain Cycle-Touring. Also called rough riding, cyclists travel over a
variety of surfaces and topography on a single route, with a single bicycle. Focusing on
freedom of travel and efficiency over varied surfaces, cyclists often adopt an ultralight
camping approach and carry their own minimal gear.
(f)
Supported Touring. Cyclists are supported by a motor vehicle, which carries most
equipment. This can be organized independently by groups of cyclists or commercial
holiday companies. These companies sell places on guided tours, including booked
lodging, luggage transfers, route planning and often meals and rental bikes.
(g)
Day Touring. These rides vary highly in their size of the group (from solo cyclists,
group rides, to large organized rides with hundreds to thousands of riders), in their length
(from a few miles to Century rides of 100 miles or longer), in their purpose (from riding
for pleasure to raising money for a charitable organization) and in their methods of support
(from self-supported day rides, to organized rides where cyclists pay for support or
accommodations provided by event organizers including rest and refreshment stops,
marshalling to aid safety, and SAG service.
Safety Measures During Cycling
8.
The following guidelines and procedures are required to be followed for the safe conduct of
the cycling or cycling expedition / tours:(a)
Qualified Supervision. All unit, district, council, and national event activities must
be supervised by a mature and conscientious adult at least age 21 who understands and
knowingly accepts responsibility for the safety of children in his or her care, who is
experienced with the skills and equipment involved in the activity, and who is committed to
compliance with these BSA safety guidelines.
(b)
Physical Fitness. Biking is strenuous. Long treks and hill climbing should not be
attempted without training and preparation. For scouting activities, all participants must
present evidence of fitness with a complete health history from a physician, parent, or legal

311
guardian. The adult supervisor should adjust all supervision, discipline, and protection to
anticipate any potential risks associated with individual health conditions. In the event of
any significant health conditions, proof of an examination by a physician should be required
by the adult leader.
(c)
Helmets and Clothing. All cyclists must wear a properly sized and fitted helmet
approved by either the Snell Memorial Foundation, CPSC, or ASTM standard. Layer your
clothing for warmth on cool days so you can avoid chilling or overheating. Cover up for sun
protection on clear days.
(d)
Buddy System. When the program activity is a bicycle expedition or trek, the
buddy system must be used. When a program element emphasizes individual performance
skills, one buddy observes while the other takes his turn. In competitive activity where the
buddy concept cannot be applied practically, all activity must be directly observed by the
adult supervisor. (Youth members should be taught that biking with a buddy is best. When
biking alone, apart from scouting activities, youth members should be encouraged to tell
someone their route, schedule, and destination before departing.)
(e)
Position in Traffic. Ride with the traffic flow, as far to the right as is safe. Avoid
curbs, storm drains, soft or loose gravel on shoulders, and other hazards.
(f)
Safety Rules. Obey all traffic laws, signs, signals, and street markings. Watch for
changes in road conditions. Ride only one to a bike. Do not ride after dark. No stunts -trick riding is only for professionals who use special equipment. Yield to motor vehicles
even if you think you have the right-of-way. Never hitch a ride on another vehicle. Keep
your head and ears open and do not wear headphones while riding.
(g)
Turns and Intersections. Look left, right, back, and ahead before turning. Stop
and search all directions when entering a street from a driveway, parking area, sidewalk, or
alley. Signal all turns using universal hand signals. Walk your bike through or across busy
intersections.
(h)
Equipment. Ride only a bike that fits you. Select a bike that permits you to put
both feet on the ground while standing over the top tube. The handgrips should be no
higher than your shoulders or lower than your seat.
(j)
Bicycle Accessories. Every bike needs a horn or bell and reflectors (front, back,
and sides). Items should be carried only in baskets, in saddlebags, or on a rear carrier
rack. If you must ride in traffic, a bike- or helmet-mounted mirror is recommended. For long
trips, a bike-mounted container for drinking water is recommended.
(k)
Maintenance. Keep your bike clean and well maintained, especially the brakes and
drive chain.
(l)
Racing. Open street racing is dangerous. Race only with supervision on marked
courses that have been set up to exclude other vehicle or pedestrian traffic, to eliminate fall
hazards and minimize collision risks. Clearly define "start" and "finish" points.
(m)
Planning. Plan both the route and timing of bike trips to avoid heavy traffic and
hazardous conditions. Biking is unsafe on wet pavement and on windy days. Plan for at
least hourly rest stops and a maximum of approximately six hours on the bike per day.
(n)
Discipline. All participants should know, understand, and follow the rules and
procedures for safe biking, and all participants should conscientiously and carefully follow
all directions from the adult supervisor.

Ensure good consumption of water at regular intervals.

(h)

Carry essential medicines to cater for minor injuries or disorders.

(j)

Acclimatisation is a must for high altitude marches.

(k)

Wear appropriate clothing to prevent dehydration, sunburn and fatigue.

Safety Measures for Trekking

11.
To make your trip more adventurous and safe, do follow certain safety guidelines and tips
mentioned below:(a)
Before heading for your adventure trekking trip, do study weather forecast of that
area. Avoid trekking during bad weather or adverse climatic situations.
(b)
Newbies should always carry a raincoat or windsheeter with them. Climate can
change frequently in several trekking points.
(c)
Do carry multi-pocket carry bag engrafted with zipper closure and cushioned
shoulder straps, especially for trekking trips. The bag should be spacious enough to carry
all the important trekking essentials while trekking.
(d)
Must keep a lighter, Swiss army knife, space blanket, water bottle and winter attire
in your carry bag or pocket before heading for trekking.
