Talking Book Centre

NAB M. P. Shah All India Talking Book Centre

History

In 1963 the Talking Book Project – now known as the M. P. Shah All India Talking Book Centre – was initiated by NAB (India) with the help of equipment presented by the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, United States Government. Initially, the Centre recorded magazines; textbooks for college students; and books of general interest – in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati – on reel-to-reel magnetic tape recorders which blind users listened to on huge multi-track players that NAB (India) provided them.

Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya

Madan Mohan Malaviya, in full Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, also called Mahamana (born December 25, 1861, Allahabad, India—died November 12, 1946, Allahabad?) Indian scholar, educational reformer, and a leader of the Indian nationalist movement.

Malaviya was the son of Pandit Brij Nath, a noted Sanskrit scholar, and his early education took place at two Sanskrit pathshalas (traditional schools). After graduating from Muir Central College, Allahabad, in 1884, he took up teaching in a local school. He was a diligent scholar and instructor, but he was more attracted to politics, and he made his political debut at the 1886 Calcutta (Kolkata) session of the Indian National Congress. An industrious worker, he soon climbed the ranks in the party and was elected president of Congress four times. Malaviya also served on the Imperial Legislative Council (1909–20). A gifted orator, he participated actively in debates on issues including free and compulsory primary education, the prohibition on recruiting of Indian indentured labour in the British colonies, and the nationalization of railways. Though a strong supporter of Congress, Malaviya helped establish the Hindu Mahasabha (“Great Society of Hindus”) in 1906, which brought diverse local Hindu nationalist movements together.

Malaviya, who was keenly interested in uplifting the educational standards of the country, was the principal founder in 1916 of the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, a premier institution of learning in India. He served as the university’s vice-chancellor for some two decades (1919–38) and remained active at the school until his death. Malaviya’s consciousness toward the public led to the launch of his own Hindi-language weekly, the Abhyudaya (1907), the Leader of Allahabad, an English-language daily (1909), and the Hindi monthly the Maryada (1910). In addition, he was chairman of the board of directors of the Hindustan Times from 1924 until he died.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Madan-Mohan-Malaviya

The Hindu Mahasabha was founded in 1914 in Amritsar and established its headquarters in Haridwar. Amongst its early leaders was the prominent nationalist and educationalist Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, who founded the Benaras Hindu University, and the Punjabi populist Lala Lajpat Rai. Banaras Hindu University was established in 1915. Malviya was instrumental in the coming together of Hindu Mahasabha and Arya Samaj in 1923 to make common cause on issues like cow slaughter and reconversion. He was also closely associated with bodies like Pragya Hindu Samaj, Bharat Dharma Mahamandal and Sanatana Dharma Mahasabha.

World Population Day 11 July

2016 Theme: Investing in teenage girls.

In 1989, the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended that 11 July be observed by the international community as World Population Day, a day to focus attention on the urgency and importance of population issues. This year's theme is 'Investing in teenage girls.'

Teenage girls around the world face enormous challenges. Many are considered by their communities or parents to be ready for marriage and motherhood. Many are forced from school, damaging their future prospects. Even among girls who stay in school, access to basic information about their health, human rights and reproductive rights can be hard to come by, leaving them vulnerable to illness, injury and exploitation. These challenges are exacerbated among marginalized girls, such as members of ethnic minorities or those living in poverty or remote areas. 

Yet when teenage girls are empowered, when they know about their rights and are given the tools to succeed, they become agents of positive change in their communities.

UNFPA's programmes aim to end child marriage, curb adolescent pregnancy, and to empower girls to make informed choices about their health and lives. In 2015 alone, UNFPA programmes helped 11.2 million girls between ages 10 and 19 gain access to sexual and reproductive health services and information.

1. Should students take part in politics?

They are the future of our country

I am a student ,as a student ,I strongly feel that student should participate in political activities.In India 70% voters are the youth of India ,almost the majority of the population.If every youngster thinks that politic is a wrong idea ,than after some years only politicians of 45 and more age will be left in politics.Having the knowledge oh politics help them to know their country well.

No it will affect them

Students shouldn't take part in politics because it will have a negative affect on them. They're still growing up, learning about the outside world and still in the stage of developing a character. In today's world politics is unstable. Students may join several groups looking for a way to change their lives without knowing the consequences. Therefore I conclude that students shouldn't participate.
