DIGITAL LITERACY MISSION:AN APPEAL FOR SOCIAL GOOD

 

Digital Literacy Mission is a benevolent effort by a group of active professionals and social givers to start a program that would enhance the knowledge of people in the digitally advanced sector. Education sector in India has no doubt excelled and expedited the national standards by preparing bright brains and erasing the quilt of ignorance and illiteracy. But still there is a discernibly huge area where primary education is a real schlep. With increasing demands of jobs and skyrocketing hike in competence, real challenge is to carve out those unattended people who are waiting for just a motivation to bootstrap themselves out of their social constraints. This mission will not only creep into such areas but also increase their competency by making them digitally literate.

Anyone can be an active part of this mission and register themselves on truly voluntary basis by offering himself/herself as tutor or facilitator as per the field of their expertise. The seed of this mission had been sowed long back in 2009 by global federations and socialists and the fruits will truly be helpful in eradicating the intoxicated world of ignorance. Using the latest tools and gismos of information and technology, online provisions for supplying the course materials and tutoring may be done to involve as many people all around the world as great teachers. DLM is a virtual global network where using the latest Cloud Computing technology, various nodes will be maintained. People all across the globe are becoming a fragment of this mission in different manners to give something to the underprivileged section of the society. I and you may also join the breakthrough rally by active participation. For further details and correspondence we may follow the link https://sites.google.com/site/dlmindia11/contact-us.

“Self generated and self propagated thoughts always migrate from mind to the ground of realities.”

India has been a developing nation since her independence in terms of social ,economic and political backgrounds.With every remarkable improvement,the nation moves one step ahead towards continual progress.Like a centipede,education sector has also covered miles and emerged as the most promising field for every new generation to shape the future in a better and most effective manner.Since the times of ‘gurukul’ till the modernised education system there are citations which refer to changes,experiments and transformations in the ways and forms of teaching that are rife .But still there lies a huge chunk of rural population that strives hard against poverty,infancy illiteracy and unemployment.The social ironies mocks at the national development which carries the stories of impoverished and underprivileged people.With increasing demands of jobs and skyrocketing hike in competence,real challenge is to carve out those unattended people who are waiting for just a motivation to bootstrap themselves out of their social constraints. In this context Digital literacy acts as a pivot.

Martin has given one of the most comprehensive definitions of digital literacy. He has defined it as the awareness, attitude and ability of individuals to appropriately use digital tools and facilities to identify, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, analyse, and synthesize digital resources, construct new knowledge, create media expressions, communicate with others, in the context of specific like situations, in order to enable constructive social action; and to reflect upon this process.

A digital citizen may be considered as an asset to the nation that contains the potency to influence people,has the skill to benefit the enterprises and organisation,has the cornucopia of knowledge to literate the people and make them a part of technologies and advancements.Today almost all the schools have started paying a parity with computer classes that includes knowledge of hardwares,softwares,computer languages,web-tools etc that would motivate the spirit of being more confident of selves.The teachers have a hard- won challenge to prepare their students as the most creative,deft ,innovative and competent to be launched as the most fruitful asset in the market.This encourages the learners and the givers as well to perform more ideally and productively.It is opening new areas of employment and self motivation making people more responsible towards family,society and nation.

One major difficulty that is faced by non creamy students is lack of communication power. Effective communication is one tool that helps in seizing an image in the market.A knowledge in the latest high technology digital world helps us to get connected with the people all around the world.This may include one’s concerned field or area of concern where by bloating the circle of contacts and advertising the skills he can excel in and expedite his work experiences.This may also be helpful by using the electronic gizmos to create ,evaluate, ,recapitulate, record and refer to the dissertations and work we do or intend to do which not only increases the efficiency of work but also brings reliability in picture.Apart from the work area and shop floors ,to get acquainted and notified with the social upkeeps and open new ventures in the employment sector,digital literacy acts as a true giver.

Teachers themselves after seeking proper knowledge in this area can benefit the society in very effective manner.They may promote distant education in the areas where it is hard to run regular classrooms.Chaitanya Gurukul Public School in Chamanpura village of Gopalganj District,Bihar is one brilliant example of excellence and service.It is quite a remote place that is using hih-tech gadgets where teachers mark their attendance using a biometric finger-printers and impart knowledge sitting at the different corners of the world. Lessons and subjects are well taught using Skype,video conferencing and internet.This young school is one of the best illustrations of the greatness of digital literacy and the glory of young minds.

There have been challenges as well that arise due to the regular changes in the ways of understanding,approach,access response and interaction in social and professional lives. The whirlpool of knowledge and learning often demands the turbulence of parallelism with the world beyond and after one’s study is over and he joins the mainstream as a workforce that require technical excellence and updation.Today in the field of science and technology where a huge number of students are absorbed ,the one thing that improves their competence is their knowledge in digitally advanced sector.Education system in India has also leaped up to maintain the global standards but there are still so much to be done.Digital literacy needs to be popularised particularly in the areas were primary education itself is a real schlep .By introducing the concept into the syllabus and making it a renewal oriented system we can allow along with the previous tracks,the students to match up with the modernised world where lies job,clientele and a competent market.

For framing a digital future for sustainable development initiatives are being taken to empower the rural population and make them efficient and resourced.There are many seminars and conferences which are organised in schools,institutions,communities and organisation to impart this reflective element at all levels.

Digital literacy may be considered as a set of skills and art that is strengthening the base of a developing nation.By holding every node of inputs for improvement we need to get accessorised with all such tools that can help us in making India a country of wizards and a nation of digital brains.

How security can be a part of productivity and profitability?

“A company, an organization, a firm flourishes in the clime of positivism and girth of security”.

Understanding security

Since last few years, security has enlarged its meaning, importance and implication as the world is changing its appearance from being rigorously progressive to distinctively productive and profit oriented. In the scene of competitions wherein the performance of a company has become quantitative, security too has turned out as a contributor to the figures. Taking a preventive action to extenuate the probabilities of results that are unlikely may be treated as one of the motives of security. A standard perception is that industrial security is about access control and safety of personal and personnel in terms of their property and being. Though this perspective is the basic tool behind every security management, it is the cumulative factor that determines the well being of any industry.

Importance in oil and gas sector

Since the winds of change are blowing everywhere, we keep on updating our technology and same needs to be incorporated in the security sector to match up with the new versions of crime. Through different sensitization and awareness programs security can be imparted as a self germinated attitude to fight against frauds. Especially in the field of oil and gas where business and fields are spread across vast distances in different climate and contour condition, an ease of access for data control and high bandwidth is required for a well head monitoring in remote locations. With the help of robust CCTVs and SCADA, business in gas networking and transmission has become quite easy and thus the scope of spreading the business moves parallel with the well efficient security system. Among nearly 1894 MAH units spread across 286 districts, 26 states including union territories in India if GAIL,Pata is one of them then it is a question of self realization that how crucial security is in keeping the company safe from any tragedy.

Security relation to productivity

Many times in the industrial lingua security and safety are considered to be complementing each other since both the fields stand at the same end of the rope that leads to the excellence in the organizational performance.

Profit of a company carries a direct proportion with its productivity which at the same time depends on few primary factors like employee satisfaction, operational control and a strategic work plan. All these parameters are the image builders for any company and put an obvious reflection on its market reputation.

Employee Share in security

By investing efforts to create a secured network around workplace, residence and public areas, we germinate a tinge of satisfaction and reliability among the workers and employees that their lives and assets are being taken best care of in return of their devotion to the company. However apart from employee security being totally physical, there is a requirement to create a balance between the needs of security and culture of the organization. This security gap may sweep in the potential data leakage from various points of use. Therefore at the same time the valuable information being shared among the employees on the network and the freedom allotted to them should in no case put security from threats, data thefts, frauds etc and hence the reputation of the company on stake.

A strict and gingerly worked out control over the operations that invite foreign involvement is needed to prevent any unwanted fluke. For illustration while importing materials or dealing with visitors or clientele, we keep one of our sides open to outsiders that may create opportunities for the firebrands to fulfill their intentions that might not be in the intrest of the company. A properly trained, committed and responsible security system stands with an acute plan to combat such incidents and put a check over the probable impediments in the smooth operation of any process.

Work plan

For an organization rich in manpower it becomes more necessary to recognize and throw away miscreants through a full proof work plan and ensure that the perimeter is secured. The strategic loop for the security network may involve following nodal elements.

Case studies and analysis

Planning and strengthening

Action

Evaluation and reassessment

This work plan may vary with the organizational structure but should have the power to confront the vulnerabilities that impede the productivity and profitability of the organization by any means.

Security being a part of productivity may be understood by getting apprised by the fact that at every level of organizational set up we need it to justify our objective. Be it receipt of materials or dispatch of products, be it different means of communication within the organization or it may be the movement of documents and files physically or electronically. By using latest and updated tools of security it becomes easy to control the gaps and intimate the message to the ill doers to get alert.

Incidents happen regardless of all the preparation that we make to halt the causations but a strong security puts in the confidence that the system is ready to face the unprecedented calls.



gone in the wind...

Rust and dust lied deep inside;
rusted were his steps
and
dusted were his thoughts.
To douse the flames of failure,
he tried to pull out  himself
from
 his life getting bigger and unmeasurable,
and leave behind
the agony, the fluster and acerbic stress.

He was crying with his reflections since long
but today

was mum
without any hitch and fear and dismay.
like a silent sea
 without any urge to touch the moon.
Wished to end up things in a better manner soon
and experiment one more time.
but surrendered
before the gale of his instinctive voice,
that tried hard to cling to the things slipping away,
listen to the lullaby heard long back,
and say

To  all those whom he loved and still does,
he is going to wither and break down into pieces
get wet in the mud of divine and then write down

the unheard words.
To look down again  and ask,what wrong did he do?

and
he walked away in silence

 without saying a word,
without the consent and without any prophecy.
must be hard for him

to leave people and meet the infinite
but is harder for all those 
who are left with the  poverty of his destiny.

Many facts in life are unbearable and too bitter to live with especially then when our strings are attached to some of their corners.We are left with no choice other than keep on standing and looking at the things that just happened and robbed all our peace and the fact that we couldn't stop it makes us further weak and helpless.This write is dedicated to all those souls resting in peace(I guess)who had also no choice but walk away from this biased and illogical life that might have created umpteen confusions that they preferred to leave the wale of tears than to confront them.But whatever they did and thought and decided no less made feel us forlorn and deserted.Their absence is felt.

Destiny of words

They played like an urchin

And change the course of line.

I wonder, I gape and dance around

To look at the changes they make at mine.

Some gawk at me and few mock,

Else talk and play me a native song.

While I look for a new age word

They cringe to live for a little long.

They come, they live and often they die

Every age discovers to try

Words that put a life to thoughts

And seize the world with chronic knots.

A vintage world in books of dust

With lines having fiat to convey

No matter how fame it has

One day they all become cliché.

 Cliche,hackneyed and derogatory words must be behaving a glorious past at the times they were discovered and widely used. Their stories,roots,origin,phonetic euphoria helps in creating a personal corner where some of them live forever whereas else get replaced with changing time.Sentences become more heavy,purpose turns more firm and voices become more convincing if we have words we put our faith in.The destiny of words take them from an episodic doggerel to marvellous writes,they have the power to change the course of line for sure.....

Some new colors..



A misty scene with a silence of peace..





A random paint for the rural sentiments




The sides of feminism,rural visages...



Roller- coaster- ride

Roller- coaster- ride WritersCafe.org

Under the folds of blanket when I lie down

with the curve of my belly and arms as chords.

To share my day while I sleep

and think of the events,evens and odds.

With a deep sigh and a big smile

for his stare and helpful solace.

The moment which was turning blue

held the time and seized its pace.

I turned my side towards the left

to see the attire of the fop.

It was a nylon quite outmoded

but red satin which looked like a prop.

Piles of files when smiled at me

I dragged my doze to wrap me over.

To live this night full of dreams

and let my dreams to swim and hover.

In the morning to design my day

I smile at my dream and look outside.

The sun where winks to wish good luck

for one more roller coaster ride.

The lost times

The lost times-1
I am scared of the vintage.

For what I am speaking will remain in whispers.
For what I am writing will soak in papers.
The light in the picture is the light of the past
that had a life but not today.
The stories untold and events umpteen
are lost somewhere in the heap of dismay.
I must have lived somewhere in the yore
and living again with no instinct.
The day will come when I too will be gone,
leaving behind my dust in synch.

The lost times-2

The world that lived few years back
is still alive with faces changed.
Eyes stare and smiles so powerful
to knock the door of peace forayed.


Look at them,their glimmering faces
speaking of the fun they once had.
I can find me among one of them,
with the same expression and a dusty clad.
