संयुक्त राष्ट्र में बजा भारत का डंका, पाकिस्तान युद्ध और हम बुद्ध की बात करते है।

Rahuldeo Sharma — Sat, 28 Sep 2019 11:26:19 +0000

पाकिस्तान युद्ध की बात करता है हम भगवान बुद्ध की बात करते है, पाकिस्तान परमाणु इस्तेमाल की धमकी देता है, हम मानवता की बात करते है, पाकिस्तान आतंकवाद की बात करता है और हम पर्यावरण संरक्षण की बात करते है, भारत जहां विश्व गुरु बनने की राह पर है तो वहीं पाकिस्तान की कलई एक बार फिर से विश्व पटल पर खुल गई। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने शुक्रवार को संयुक्त राष्ट्र महासभा के 74वें सत्र को संबोधित किया, 17 मिनट के अपने भाषण में पीएम मोदी ने दुनिया के सबसे बड़े मंच से अपने भाषण में विकास, पर्यावरण, आतंक, लोकतंत्र, जन कल्याण जैसे मुद्दों पर अपनी बात रखी।

वही पाकिस्तान के बौखलाए प्रधानमंत्री इमरान खान ने 40 मिनट के भाषण में धमकी और हेट स्पीच रहा जिसका भारत ने विरोध करते हुए कहा कि इमरान ने वैश्विक मंच का दुरुपयोग कर दुनिया को गुमराह किया है। भारत ने इमरान के ‘नस्लीय संहार’, ‘ब्लड बाथ’, ‘नस्लीय सर्वोच्चता’, ‘बंदूकें उठा लो’, ‘आखिर तक लड़ेंगे’ जैसे एक-एक शब्द को गिनाते हुए कहा कि यह उनकी मध्यकालीन मानसकिता को दिखाता है।

पीएम मोदी ने अपने भाषण में विकास, आतंक, लोकतंत्र, जन कल्याण जैसे मुद्दों पर तो अपनी बात रखी ही लेकिन पर्यावरण संरक्षण और जल वायु परिवर्तन पर भी दुनिया के सामने भारत के कदम को गिनवाया। पीएम मोदी ने यूएन के ग्लोबल मंच से कहा कि ग्लोबल वार्मिंग के लिए भारत ने बीते 5 साल में, सदियों से चली आ रही विश्व बंधुत्व और विश्व कल्याण की उस महान परंपरा को मजबूत करने का काम किया है, जो यूएन की स्थापना का भी ध्येय रही है। पीएम मोदी ने दुनिया को बताया कि भारत पर्यावरण के लिए क्या कर रहा है. उन्होंने कहा कि हमारी सरकार ने सिंगल यूज प्लास्टिक के खिलाफ अभियान चलाया।

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी ने मंच से सबका साथ, सबका विकास, सबका विश्वास की बात करते हुए बताया कि भारत की कोशिश और परिणाम दुनिया के सभी देशों के लिए है। पीएम मोदी ने अपने भाषण में जल संरक्षण का भी जिक्र किया. उन्होंने कहा कि हमारा लक्ष्य 15 करोड़ घरों का पानी की सप्लाई से जोड़ने का है, टीबी जैसे घातक बीमारी पर भी पीएम मोदी ने कहा कि विश्व ने टीबी को खत्म करने के लिए 2030 तक का लक्ष्य रखा है, लेकिन हम 2025 तक भारत को टीबी मुक्त करने के लिए प्रयास कर रहे हैं।पीएम मोदी ने सौर्य उर्जी की भी बात कही, उन्होंने कहा कि हम 450 गीगा वॉट रिनेवेबल एनर्जी की दिशा में काम कर रहे है, विश्व स्तर पर भी हम सोलर एनर्जी को प्रोत्साहित करने का काम कर रहे हैं। बहरहाल मोदी का भाषण देश हित तो था ही लेकिन अंतरराष्ट्रीय मंच पर मोदी ने दुनिया को पर्यावरण संरक्षण का भी पाठ पढ़ाया।

Excellence Awards Edition 3 | Speech by Amit Upadhyay, Editor-in-Chief, The CSR Journal

Amit Upadhyay — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 09:52:56 +0000

तेरे दामन में तेरा चाँद है तो होगा ऐ फ़लक,

पर देख तेरे सितारे मेरी महफ़िल में उतर आए हैं।

क्या अपना पर्यावरण बचाने, अपने किसान भाइयों की मदद करने, किसी हुनरमंद को मौका देने और अपनी बेटियों को बचाने और पढ़ाने की जिम्मेदारी सिर्फ सरकार, न जी ओ और कॉर्पोरेट्स की हैं?

आज यह बैठ कर ये सारी बातें करना शायद बहुत मामूली और छोटा लगे पर ये हमारा पहला कदम हो सकता हैं मीलों की दूरी तय करने का।

वुमन एम्पावरमेंट – शायद कभी किसी ने इस पर गौर नहीं किया कि इस एक शब्द ने अपने भीतर कितने अर्थ समेटे हुवे हैं। अगर आज भी इस शब्द का प्रयोग करना पड़ रहा हैं तो इसकी वजह हैं हमारा इस सोच से बाहर न निकल पाना की पुरुष ही प्रथम हैं और स्त्री शारीरिक, मानसिक और हर तरह से पुरुष से कमज़ोर हैं। हमारा पुरुष सत्तात्मक समाज आज भी कही न कही एक सशक्त महिला के वजूद को स्वीकार करने में हिचकिचाता है।

एक औरत जब गर्भ धारण करती हैं तब से लेकर एक नये जीवन के इस संसार मे आने तक हर पल एक माँस के टुकड़े को अपना लहूँ और अपनी सांसे देकर उसमे प्राण डालती हैं। ऊपर वाले के बाद एक मात्र औरत ही है जो एक जीव का सृजन कर सकती है। वास्तव में देखा जाए तो राम , रहीम और यीशु को भी अवतार लेने के लिए एक औरत के गर्भ की शरण लेनी पड़ी थी। ज़रा सोचिए जो स्वयं सृष्टि के रचयता की जननी हैं वो स्त्री कमज़ोर कैसे हो सकती हैं?

मैं अपने देश की सारी महिलाओ का शत शत नमन करता हूँ। आत्म निर्भर और पढ़ी लिखी महिला से मजबूत कोई स्तंभ नहीं हैं और उस पुरुष जैसा कोई रोल मॉडल नहीं हैं जो महिलाओं के साथ हर परिस्तिथि में कंधे से कंधा मिलाकर खड़ा रहे।

सोच को बदलो, सितारे बदल जाएँगे

नज़र को बदलो नज़ारे बदल जाएँगे

कश्तियाँ बदलने की ज़रूरत नहीं

दिशाओं को बदलो किनारे बदल जाएँगे।

“How Long Will You Be Dependent on Govt For Your Problems?”- Nana Patekar

Manoj Bhoyar — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 11:23:19 +0000

Veteran actor, Nana Patekar has not only established his place cinematically but also prominently known for social work with farmers. His organisation- Naam Foundation works primarily for soldiers, farmers and their families. While talking to The CSR Journal, he emphasises how citizens need to stand up for themselves and not be completely dependent on the govt for all the anticipated change. Our farmers are not safe and to some extent the government is responsible and we on an individual level too.

Working for the largely oppressed section of society, Patekar said he is a changed person, who is soft and a believer of non-violence from an earlier fierce one.

Neha Bilandani — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 11:33:27 +0000

“There are some pages from the sport of running that can be imbibed in other sports,” said Dilip Jayaram, CEO, Procam International. He and his team have been an integral part of the Standard Chartered Marathon, which the city of Mumbai has witnessed for over a decade. In conversation with The CSR Journal, he emphasises how there is no ‘chanda’ asked for, although charity is not completely in our DNA. Instead it is commendable to see the ability to raise funds as each and every cause is a deserving one.
