Recently some one has given the PWD a new name: Divyang. Interesting. While doing a recent study about livelihood options for PWD in the hills, I came across a riddle: While GOI offers positive discrimination – 3% reservations for PWD in all services, barring Andhra Pradesh, few states report full utilization of this quota. Why? Why […]

TISA Delhi SHG Weekly Meeting Report written by Sunoy Garai
23 October, 2016, Sunday

The meeting was held at India Gate this time. The host Mr. Dinesh Kumar Ola suggested a different
venue this time as he thought that there would be a variety of strangers at India Gate and we
stammerers could build some confidence by talking to the strangers, especially foreigners.
The meeting started at 11 a.m. and was attended by eight Delhi SHG members, Dinesh Kumar Ola
(Host), Vikas Ranga (Co-host), Sunoy Garai, Madhav, Anurag, Anurag Mishra, Vivek Maurya and
Prajwal. The meeting started with a brief introduction of every member, especially focussing on the
positives and negatives of one’s personality. Mr. Ola, the host, suggested that this meeting would be
one of a kind where members could talk freely without any fear and sharing any funny or
adventurous incidents with other members. Unlike other meetings, this meeting was kind of
unplanned, but ironically that turned out to be a very good thing as the rounds were decided on the
spot with everyone’s views and the meeting turned out to be one of the best meetings.
