PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME ADDRESS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF 2018-19

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”

With this thought, I take this opportunity to present before you the Annual Report 2018-19 of Gargi College.

On behalf of faculty, staff and students of Gargi College, I extend a very warm welcome to our Honourable Guests: Shri Divya Prakash Sinha (IPS Ret), Central Information Commissioner, Government of India; Prof. B.P. Sharma, Vice-Chancellor, Gautam Buddha University; parents of prize winners; our prized alumnae and respected guests on the occasion of the College Day 2018-19. It is my proud privilege to present this year’s Annual Report and I am confident that you will acknowledge the achievements of our students and faculty in both academic and extra-curricular fields.

Great personalities when near you make you feel the charm of their traits and uniqueness and inspire you to live life not just for yourself. We are delighted to have amongst us Shri Divya Prakash Sinha (IPS Ret), Central Information Commissioner, Government of India. He spent larger part of his career in Intelligence Bureau in different capacities and was looking after Counter Terrorist Operations most of the time. He is credited to have worked out a large number of Terror Modules in the country leading to their neutralisation. Shri Sinha is a recipient of Indian Police Medal for Meritorious Services and President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Services, besides Appreciations by State Governments including Chief Ministers.

Young minds are like sponges and they are looking for right input to soak it in. We cannot think of a person more suited to this than Prof. B.P. Sharma, Vice-Chancellor Gautam Buddha University. Earlier, he was President, Pacific University, Udaipur. He has been awarded with Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya Award for 2016, for his contribution in the field of Management awarded by the Hon’ble President of India.

This year ten students of our college were awarded the Science Meritorious Award by the University of Delhi. Many students from various courses secured university positions. Our students are constantly encouraged to work on research projects along with their regular curriculum. This year too witnessed numerous students presenting their work at international and national conferences and many of them have bagged Best Poster Awards. Very proudly, I want to share that one of our student from second year History (H) was awarded best presentation award at an international conference in Singapore.

To stop learning is to stop living. Faculty members of Gargi College appreciate the same principle and keep striving for more.

Our projects include - Project Rachna and Project Aagah.

Project Rachna is an initiative that revolves around using post consumer-textile waste materials and recreating numerous utility craft products such as handmade diaries, mats, pouches, etc. It aims to provide entrpreneurial opportunities to a community of 12-15 marginalized women near Jharsa, Haryana, and the revenue generated from the sales of the products goes directly to these women.

Under Project Aagah, our aim is to raise crucial awareness amongst various at risk, underprivileged communities on socially pertinent issues. We have conducted fundraising events in the college campus for the students of Janta Basti, near Pragati Maidan, one such event being the Hug Campaign. The Campaign saw a huge turnout, with students and teachers alike participating in the event and giving hugs and spreading smiles all around, purchasing Project Rachna products in large numbers and supporting Enactus Gargi in uplifting our community of women. Subsequently, we visited the young, inquisitive kids at Janta Basti and performed skits for them on hygiene, sanitation, good and bad touch. We had a career counselling session with them and the kids showed us their artistic talents in music and dance.

We also had an interactive session at Vardaan Hospital and Senior Citizen Centre near Malviya Nagar. Our most recent session was at Janta Adarsh Andh Vidyalaya, a Blind School in Sadiq Nagar where we interacted with the young students about consent.

The flames of passion burned once again, with all their might, as Kshitij opened its first round of auditions on July 21, 2018. With pulsating beats of the djembe, Kshitij enthralled the multitude with many freshers eagerly wanting to be part of the frolic. However, only a few chosen ones could endure the rigorous auditioning process and the many workshops that followed, forming a team of 20 individuals. The annual streetplay production of 2017-18, ‘Bhagwa Blues’ was selected for Pulse, the cultural festival of AIIMS, where our team member Monika Singh bagged the Best Actress award, holding traditions forth. Kshitij performed the production for the very

last time at Chitkara University in Rajpura, successfully closing the play and bagging the third position.

Having had the opportunity to perform at Tarang’19, the annual fest of LSR, the new production, '21’ grew organically as a successful play in the circuit and bagged many laurels like the 1st position at Madhyam, Annual Fest of DBJCC and PGDIM, SGGSCC and Pehel organised by Ecolibrium - DCAC. Additionally, it bagged the second position at Zami Parasti organised by Darpan - Dramatics Society of Bhaskar Acharya College and third position at Nukkad ke Rang, organised by Kranti - The Dramatics Society of IINTM.

The annual production ‘21’ has received immensely positive audience response, ensuring that our message has been put forth.

The Equal Opportunity Cell of the college organised two major activities aimed at raising awareness about the critical concerns related to equality, equity, protective discrimination and affirmative action in contemporary India. The first was a Student Colloquia on 15th November, 2018 that saw enthusiastic participation from the students across disciplinary domains. The topic was ‘Social differences in our society based on economic class and school education are not cross cutting but overlapping. This causes deep social divisions’. Student abstracts were reviewed and the short listed students made presentations in the colloquia. The discussants were Ms Kiran Bhatty, Centre for Policy Research and Prof. Madhulika Banerjee, Department of Political Science, University of Delhi. Students highlighted various dimensions of social inequality, diversity, preferential equality and regional variations while drawing from their own educational experiences during schooling and in higher education. It was pointed out that our school education system provides for multi-layered hierarchies of access while the constitution has mandated equality of educational opportunity.

The second activity of the Cell was a lecture on February 6, 2019 by illustrious Prof. Ashok Acharya from Department of Political Science, University of Delhi, titled “Equality trade-offs in an unequal society”. He spoke of principles underlying affirmative action and made a sharp distinction between the assumptions that underlay the policies of inclusion as separate from the politics of inclusion in contemporary India. His lecture was laced with empirical evidence of how protective discrimination has not necessarily led to equality of educational opportunity yet

Accordingly, during this academic session as well, the Study Circle organised various activities. The circle’s activities commemorated with Gandhi Jayanti celebration on 26th September, 2018. Dr Hilal Ahmed, Associate Professor, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, spoke on ‘Making Sense of Gandhi’s Politics’ and referred to how Gandhi turned simple aspects of social life into a political activity. He derived moral force from these simple acts of daily living be it morning prayers, fasting, reading newspaper and responding to news or evening bhajans. He contrasted his vision of politics with a coarse interpretation that is sometimes accorded to the very term politics in contemporary times. It was followed by Intra-college Poster Making Competition on the theme “Gandhi and Environment”. It saw huge participation from Gargi students.

The study circle had its Annual Fest on March 7, 2019. The Fest comprised of a Talk on “The Mahatma as a mortal: Mohandas Gandhi and his struggles with caste” which was delivered by Prof. Satish Deshpande, Department of Sociology, University of Delhi. Prof. Deshpande emphasized the need to neither deify nor demonise the mahatma but engage with him and particularly his writing. He had three main concerns in his life. The first was to turn the freedom struggle into a mass movement with potential to mobilise everyone; second was Hindu-Muslim unity and the third to alleviate the oppressive aspects of the caste system. Gandhi stood for getting rid of the worst aspects of the caste system in our country and did not take a stand more radical than that. Yet it provides a point of inquiry into social reality plaguing our country.

As part of the Fest, inter-college events like Debate, Poster Making and Slogan Writing competitions were organised. The students from different colleges of Delhi University debated on the topic “Gandhi’s idea of caste continues to be relevant in contemporary times”. They made poster presentations and wrote slogans on the topic “caste, Modernity and Gandhi”. All these events saw a good participation of students from DU colleges. The Fest was a huge success.

UNMUKTI, the Women's Development Centre, Gargi College, imagines a world free of gender-based discrimination and violence. Each year we conduct a variety of sensitisation activities to engage the college community. Creative art is always a wonderful resource to this end. For our annual festival, we invited Mallika Taneja and Shena Gamat's experimental play, “Allegedly” (with publisher Zubaan) which examined how consent is never given for all time but is processual and centred around event/action.

In addition to in-house orientations and film-screenings and discussions of Indian-made documentary films (like Paromita Vohra’s Morality TV and the Loving Jehad in the screening of which religiosity and media representation were discussed) we organize workshops collaboratively with various organisations. First in the year was our workshop on domestic violence, with renowned NGO Breakthrough, to help students recognise and tackle domestic violence. The next, with The Consent Project, studied different legal provisions and case-by-case possibilities on fighting violation of consent. Our workshop with peace-building organization STEP (Standing Together to Enable Peace) on Critical Media Literacies examined how to build conceptual and practical skills to create feminist media content in both digital and traditional mediaas we see feminist media use as actively furthering a violence-free world. We ourselves invest considerable effort on mentoring and co-curricular work with students to create content, showcased inour magazine, which we hope is a community resource and pleasurable reading.

The WDC further provides students with a space from where to access counselling, arbitration, referral and other support in matters of personal violence they may be facing. Students approach the committee for continuation of support sought earlier,

or for fresh matters involving various forms of gender-based violence. Our other services for students and employees alike, developed and operated by the WDC, include the college’s Day-Care Centre and the Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine, both going strong.
