"🌻✨True service is always free from expectations"
🌾Points to think about:🌾
When we see others in need, it is natural for us to help them. At that moment we do not expect anything in return from them. When we need help or support, we expect help from those we have helped. When they don't offer help in return, we may feel hurt or disappointed.
🌾Procedure:🌾
When I help others, I need to remind myself that I should not expect anything in return. Any help I give will be returned to me in due course. The seeds that I have sown will not be wasted, but in due time they will bear fruit.

Govt committed to restoring dignity of Dalits, delivering justice to them: Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann
According to the 2011 Census, Scheduled Castes constitute 31.94% of Punjab’s total population and many members of this community have availed loans from the PSCFC to set up self-employment ventures aimed at economic upliftment.
Chief minister Bhagwant Mann said the loan waiver worth ₹67.84 crore to Scheduled Caste (SC) and ‘divyangjan’ (persons with disabilities) borrowers under the Punjab Scheduled Castes Land Development and Finance Corporation (PSCFC) has benefited 4,800 families.

Speaking at a ceremony to distribute loan waiver certificates in Amritsar, Mann highlighted that this is the first time in Punjab’s history that such extensive financial relief has been provided to the state’s underprivileged sections. He pointed out that earlier, loan waivers largely favored affluent groups, while the poor were neglected.
“The state government is dedicated to empowering the common man and ensuring that every penny of the state exchequer is spent on public welfare,” Mann said. He also stressed the importance of education, calling it key to the progress and dignity of marginalised communities.
On June 3, the Punjab cabinet gave its nod to waive loans amounting to ₹6767.84 crore taken by over 4,000 Dalit families from the PSCFC.
The waiver scheme covers all PSCFC loans disbursed until March 31, 2020, including principal, interest, and penal interest calculated up to April 30, 2025. Approximately 4,727 loanees — both defaulters and regular borrowers — will be covered under the scheme. Beneficiaries will receive “no dues certificates” confirming full settlement of their dues, and the government assured no recovery action will be taken in the future, he added.
According to the 2011 Census, Scheduled Castes constitute 31.94% of Punjab’s total population and many members of this community have availed loans from the PSCFC to set up self-employment ventures aimed at economic upliftment.

This year on, students in Tamil Nadu’s Adi Dravidar hostels to receive TAHDCO’s Polivu personal care kits
Each Polivu kit contains four bath soaps, hair wash shampoo, coconut oil, detergent powder, detergent soap, a toothbrush and toothpaste. The kits will be distributed thrice a year.

Starting this year, nearly 50,000 school and college students residing in Adi Dravidar welfare hostels across Tamil Nadu will receive personal care kits under the brand name Polivu, launched by the Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Housing and Development Corporation (TAHDCO).
According to official sources, a total of 1,331 Adi Dravidar hostels for school and college students are functioning in the State. Nearly 35,000 school students and 15,000 college students staying in these hostels are set to receive ‘Polivu’ personal care kits, this year. Last academic year, the TAHDCO had distributed such kits on a pilot-basis to students residing in college hostels.
Earlier, Tamil Nadu government provided financial assistance of ₹100 per month for school students and ₹150 for college students to purchase personal care products. In a move aimed at ensuring the quality of these products and creating livelihood opportunities for women from Scheduled Caste communities, TAHDCO has decided to manufacture and distribute these personal care products, replacing the financial assistance initiative, through a newly-formed society under the Polivu brand, said official sources.
Vasanthi Kumaresan, State Project Manager (Schemes), TAHDCO, said the products are being made by 60 women belonging to Scheduled Caste communities from five self-help groups at a manufacturing unit located in Ambattur, Chennai, established with financial support from the National Scheduled Caste Finance and Development Corporation (NSFDC).
What’s in the kit?
Each Polivu kit contains four 75 gm bath soaps, 200 ml hair wash shampoo, 200 ml coconut oil, 500 gm detergent powder, 150 gm detergent soap and one toothbrush and toothpaste. While coconut oil is being sourced and packed under the ‘Polivu’ brand, the toothbrush and toothpaste are currently outsourced. TAHDCO has proposed to include bamboo toothbrushes sourced from a startup in future kits as a sustainable alternative, Ms. Vasanthi said.

The kits will be distributed thrice a year to ensure students in Adi Dravidar hostels have consistent access to essential personal care products, promoting better hygiene and well-being. The initiative also empowers women from Scheduled Caste communities who could earn at least ₹ 15,000 a month, officials said.

Scheduled Castes worse off than primitive tribes: Jharkhand Minister
The Chief Minister’s silence for over 72 hours on the matter has only intensified the controversy, with the opposition calling it a tacit admission of administrative failure.
Statesman News Service | Ranchi | June 8, 2025 7:52 pm.
Aletter penned by Jharkhand’s Finance Minister Radha Krishna Kishore to Chief Minister Hemant Soren, highlighting the deteriorating condition of Scheduled Castes (SCs) in the state, has triggered political ripples across party lines and galvanised Dalit advocacy groups. The Chief Minister’s silence for over 72 hours on the matter has only intensified the controversy, with the opposition calling it a tacit admission of administrative failure.
The letter, made public earlier this week, states that the socio-economic status of Scheduled Castes in Jharkhand is “worse than that of the Primitive Tribes.” The statement is being viewed as a direct indictment of the Hemant Soren government’s performance in uplifting historically marginalised communities. While the ruling alliance has attempted to treat the remarks as internal feedback, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has pounced on the opportunity to attack the government’s social justice record.

BJP spokesperson Pratul Shah Deo questioned the Chief Minister’s continued silence and alleged that the government’s inaction on such a serious issue amounts to moral failure. He stated that if this were an era governed by political ethics, the Chief Minister would have either offered his resignation or sought that of his minister. He further accused the government of neglecting both Scheduled Castes and Primitive Tribes during its five-and-a-half-year tenure, citing the non-constitution of the SC Commission, the vacant position of the Backward Class Commission chairperson, and the absence of leadership in the State Election Commission responsible for local bodies.

The BJP also reiterated its criticism of the government’s decision to hold panchayat elections without extending reservation to backward classes. Shah Deo alleged that forces involved in religious conversion were operating unchecked, especially in tribal areas, and that the government was turning a blind eye to their activities. He claimed that several initiatives launched under the previous BJP administration, such as the ‘Dakiya Yojana’ and ‘Pahariya Battalion’, had been neglected under the current dispensation.
The political reverberations of the letter extended beyond party lines into civil society, as the Jharkhand Scheduled Caste Coordination Committee expressed solidarity with the minister and reiterated its long-standing demand for the formation of a strong and independent SC Commission. Committee member Santosh Rajak thanked the minister for voicing the concerns of the community but cautioned that a lack of concrete action could lead to a statewide protest. The committee also alleged that many welfare schemes meant for Scheduled Castes remain confined to paper, with crucial issues such as education, housing, employment, and social security still largely unaddressed.
The ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress have refrained from directly criticising the minister. Instead, they have characterised the letter as part of an ongoing internal dialogue. JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey stated that the government remains committed to ensuring dignity and development for all communities, including Dalits, tribals, and other backward sections. Congress spokesperson Rakesh Sinha similarly defended the government’s record, describing the letter as proof of the administration’s responsiveness to community concerns. Sinha added that a decision to constitute an SC Advisory Council has already been taken at the cabinet level, and further action is imminent.
» Telangana Congress Pacifies Disappointed Cabinet Aspirants in Telangana Telangana neeraj kumar 9 June 2025 12:28 AM Leaders who missed Cabinet berths asked to support party’s social justice goal. Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy. (Image: Wikipedia) Hyderabad: After a carefully calibrated Cabinet expansion, providing representation to marginalised sections, the senior Congress leadership reached out to aspirants who did not make it to manage internal party dynamics. While legislators like Sudarshan Reddy, Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy, Malreddy Ranga Reddy, and Premsagar Rao — all from upper castes — aspired for Cabinet posts, the party prioritised social justice by inducting Dr Gaddam Vivek Venkatswamy, Adluri Lakshman Kumar, and Vakiti Srihari. Also Read - AMRUT To Benefit Urban Areas Big Time: Bandi Advertisement The induction of three ministers — two from the Scheduled Caste (SC) community and one from the Backward Class community — underscores the Congress’ dedication to inclusive governance and empowerment of historically marginalised communities. The Scheduled Tribe (Lambada) community was given representation in the form of Dr Jatoth Ram Chander Naik who was made Deputy Speaker of the Assembly. Central to this effort was the recent Backward Classes (BC) census, which paved the way for announcing 42 per cent reservation in local body elections, reflecting the party’s focus on equitable representation. The state government as also the first to implement the Supreme Court judgment on the sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes communities for the purposes of reservation.

To address his concerns, AICC Telangana in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan, TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud, transport minister Ponnam Prabhakar, Chief Minister’s adviser Vem Narender Reddy, and Rajya Sabha MP Anil Kumar Yadav visited his residence to explain the high command’s decisions.

Ranga Reddy cancelled his planned press meet, while Mancherial MLA K. Premsagar Rao was also pacified through party discussions. The Congress leadership emphasised that final decisions rested with the All India Congress Committee (AICC), and the Cabinet expansion aligned with the party’s commitment to social justice rather than political pressure. While some aspirants were initially reluctant, they reportedly accepted the party’s strategy after consultations with the high command.

Both of them belong to the SC-Madiga community. Lakshman Kumar is associated with the party from his student days with NSUI in 1982. He served in Youth Congress and served as Zilla Parishad chairman of Karimnagar. His close association with IT and industries minister Sridhar Babu helped him to get into Cabinet. Satyanarayana started his political career with Tollywood actor Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam and made a futile bid by contesting for the Assembly in 2009. He also lost in 2014, on a TD ticket. The Congress denied him a ticket in 2018 and won for the first time in 2023.

The recent AIIMS admission results for 2025 have once again stirred a heated debate about reservation policies in India’s healthcare education system. The stark contrast where a candidate with a General category rank of 46 was rejected, while an st candidate with a rank of over 223,000 secured admission, highlights the impact of reservation quotas designed to uplift historically marginalized communities. For many, this seems like an unfair compromise on merit and raises questions about whether the quality of healthcare professionals is being sacrificed in the name of social justice. The emotional stakes are especially high given that doctors play a critical role where competence can mean the difference between life and death.
On the other hand, proponents of reservation stress that affirmative action is necessary to correct centuries of systemic inequality and lack of access to education among marginalized communities. They argue that social justice is a crucial element of a fair society and that diverse representation in healthcare can improve access and trust among all social groups. However, the challenge lies in balancing meritocracy with social equity in a way that upholds quality without alienating disadvantaged groups. In the meantime, patients are advised to be vigilant and informed about their healthcare providers—not just in terms of qualifications but also experience and reputation—because ultimately, when it comes to health, competence, and trustworthiness should be paramount.
BJP, VCK protest over damage to Ambedkar's statue during NH Department works in Cuddalore

CUDDALORE: Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), and other political outfits staged a protest on Thursday night in Chidambaram, condemning the damage caused to a statue of Dr B R Ambedkar during the removal of a flagpole by the National Highways Department.
The incident occurred near the Ambedkar statue on North Main Road, where the department was engaged in flagpole dismantling work. During the operation, the statue was allegedly damaged due to negligence, prompting BJP and VCK cadres to block the road in protest.
A peace meeting was held on Friday at the Chidambaram Taluk Office, chaired by Tahsildar S Geetha. Inspector S Rameshbabu, BJP functionaries KVMS Saravanakumar, SV Sridharan, and Gopinath Ganeshan, along with VCK leaders VK Sellappan and Aranga Tamiloli, took part in the meeting.
Officials assured the participants that a new bronze statue would be installed shortly, and appropriate action would be taken against those responsible. Following these assurances, the protest was withdrawn.
Announced by politicians, academics say these centres are either little more than publicity stunts targeting specific vote banks or serve to appease senior political figures. With a vision as myopic as this, how can these research centres achieve their grand academic ambitions
MUMBAI: Around five years ago, on December 6, 2020, a senior Shiv Sena minister led the ground-breaking ceremony of what was to be a world-class study and research centre on the legacy of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, founder of India’s Dalit movement and architect of the Indian Constitution, at the Kalina campus of the University of Mumbai. The event, presided over by then minister for higher and technical education and currently industries minister, Uday Samant, was conducted with much fanfare and attended by then chief minister, Uddhav Thackeray.

The centre was to be the go-to research academy for scholars, faculty and students from all over the world, anyone who wanted to immerse themselves in the life and work of Dr Ambedkar. It appears to have been no more than a pipe dream, for five years later, the centre functions out of temporary premises in the absence of a permanent space. And while it offers a Master’s degree and a diploma, its goals remain frustratingly out of reach.

Study and research centres such as this have been in focus since a new study centre named after Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, who shaped the Hindutva ideology, was inaugurated recently. Many of the older ones, at the university’s Kalina campus, are barely limping along, keeping themselves afloat via workshops and lectures, and the occasional academic programme. Lacking funding and absent from the university’s priority list, some of these centres operate out of vacant classrooms and office spaces.
Announced by politicians, academics say these centres are either little more than publicity stunts targeting specific vote banks or serve to appease senior political figures. With a vision as myopic as this, how can these research centres achieve their grand academic ambitions?
Let’s take a closer look at five research centres at the Kalina campus.
Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Contemporary Studies
It was established in 2006 to mark the university’s 150th anniversary and to honour the legacy of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi. The centre began as a special chair funded by the Union ministry of human resource development through the University Grants Commission (UGC). Over time, it developed into a full-fledged study centre focusing on contemporary issues.
Today, the centre offers a Master’s in Social Work (MSW) degree but little else. It lacks sufficient full-time faculty members to support the course. The centre has its own space, but it’s not big enough to conduct proper classes.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Ravindra Kulkarni said that while the centre was initially supported by central government funds for five years, it now runs on aid from the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). “We are trying to make it more active,” Kulkarni said. “Recently, we organised a conference for NGOs through the centre, which brought in fresh ideas and perspectives.”
Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Research Centre
When it was announced in December 2020, this research centre was meant to attract scholars from all over the world, to be inspired by the legacy of one of India’s foremost social reformers, political leaders and the architect of the Indian Constitution. It was also to lead research on the life and work of Dr Ambedkar. Today, the centre still doesn’t have its own space.
On its goals far from being achieved, Rohit Dhale, president of student organisation Chhatra Bharati, said, “Just like political parties do, the university administration too offers no more than hollow assurances.”
In defence of the centre, Kulkarni said, “The centre runs academic programmes and conferences. In recent years, we organised two conferences in London through this centre and are running a Master’s programme in Dr Ambedkar Studies and Development Studies. We also offer a post-graduate diploma in Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Thoughts.”
Like many of the other centres, this one too lacks funds. After the initial provision of ₹5 crore ran out, the university submitted a proposal to the UGC to approve the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar chair. This would help in appointing one professor, one assistant professor and one research scholar at the centre.
Balasaheb Thackeray Study Centre
Established in 2019 after being proposed in 2015 by then Shiv Sena ministers Ravindra Waikar and Vinod Tawde, this study centre is named after Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray. It was meant to promote research into Indian culture, regional languages, and public speaking inspired by Thackeray’s oratory skills.
Currently working out of Sanskrit Bhavan at the Kalina campus, the centre still doesn’t have a permanent space or academic programme. Yuva Sena (UBT) member and university senate member, Pradeep Sawant, said the centre was near-dormant. “Other than events on Balasaheb’s birth and death anniversaries, nothing substantial is happening. While we welcome the new Savarkar centre, older centres need attention too,” he said.
Kulkarni said, “We have organised workshops in cartooning, drawing, aerial photography and lectures inspired by Balasaheb’s philosophy. The centre is active, and more events are planned.”
Annabhau Sathe Centre
The Sahityaratna Annabhau Sathe Study Centre, launched in 2021 to promote the work of Dalit writer and social reformer Tukaram Bhaurao Sathe, aims to translate his literature into other languages and conduct training through short courses and cultural activities.
Despite these lofty ambitions, the centre has been running from Sanskrit Bhavan at the Kalina campus. A research scholar expressed disappointment, saying, “I come from a rural area. I was excited to see the centre and wanted to sign up for a course here but it has no proper set-up or academic clarity.”
The centre’s recent achievement: Publishing a book by Prof Baliram Gaikwad, who also serves as its director.
Bal Apte Centre
Named after Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue and former Rajya Sabha MP Bal Apte, the Prof Bal Apte Centre for Studies in Students and Youth Movements has seen quick progress since its inception in August 2019. It is set to launch a post-graduate course on youth movements from the upcoming academic year. A building to house the centre is also under construction at the Kalina campus.
Kulkarni said, “We have already hosted conferences and conclaves under this centre, and more will follow.”
MANDYA: Tension gripped Elechakanahalli village in Mandya taluk after Dalits were allegedly denied entry into Maramma temple by upper caste people. As the situation escalated, heavy police deployment was made to prevent any untoward incidents.
The controversy began when upper caste villagers reportedly blocked Dalits from entering Maramma temple, leading to clashes between the two communities. Taluk authorities temporarily sealed the temple and enforced tight security in the area. Later, leaders from both communities placed separate locks on the temple doors, further deepening the standoff.
Efforts to mediate through separate peace meetings with leaders of both groups have so far failed. Dalit representatives have demanded equal access to the temple, while upper caste leaders have continued to oppose it.
The situation worsened on the night of June 3, when miscreants vandalised a car belonging to a Dalit man, Vijaykumar, near his house. He filed a complaint against six -- Shivalinga aka Papu, Dinesh, Janardhan, Chethan Kumar, Roopesh and Manu -- at the Mandya Rural police station.
Mandya Superintendent of Police Mallikharjuna Baladandi confirmed that security has been intensified in the village to maintain law and order. He said that a peace meeting, chaired by the deputy commissioner, will be held on June 9 in an effort to resolve the dispute. “We hope to arrive at a solution during the meeting,” he added.
