India Lies in You -Is what is good for the society good for the self?India Lies in You is a celebration of
individual achievements as also an appreciation
of what an individual can achieve for the uplift-
ment of the society to which he or she belongs.
It is an acknowledgement of the fact that Indi-
ans should move ahead together, not by leaving
one behind. We are intrinsically linked to the
society we belong to, to its progress or decay.
Truly every one of us is a part of everyone else.
This was a one day event conducted on 30 th
January, 2010 at RavindraBhavan, Margao. The
core of the event was the screening of the
movie MANTHAN followed by a panel discus-
sion on the topic Is what is good for the soci-
ety good for the self? It is possibly the only film
ever to be sponsored by Indian farmers. The
movie is about how a milk co-operative society
was formed in Gujarat. It is story of courage and
sheer dedication to reach their goal of setting
up the co-operative society. A typical examplewhich explains the core theme of the event. The
movie revolves around a veterinary surgeon (a
character based on the now famous Dr Kurian)
who comes to a village to set up a milk co-
operative society for the local herdsmen and
their families who were over the decades tor-
tured by heartless zamindars. The society wasan ultimate solution to generate income for
these poor farmers/herdsmen and to outdo
with the zamindari pressures. The challenge
faced by him to educate the villagers about the
advantage of having this in their village andfinally even after him leaving the village the
movement continues till date and is now known
as the famous Amul Co-operative Movement.
The screening of the movie was fol-
lowed by a panel discussion. The moderator for
the discussion was Ms. Yogita Limaye, (senior
correspondent Anchor CNN IBN.) There were
several eminent personalities for the discussion,
Mr. G Muralidharan, (Chief Mentor, Akshara Net-
work) , Mr. Venkat Krishnan N (Director, GIVE
INDIA Foundation and Co-Founder, Eklavya Educa-
tion Foundation), Mr. Sachin Tendulkar( Sr. Pro-
gram Manager at Mineral Foundation of Goa),
Mr. Ramesh Kulkarni (Author of 2 films "The
American Way...","The Purpose of Life").
The next programme was social entre-
preneurship plan competition. The main focus
of the business plan was its benefit to society.
After that was Oorja, a creative dance competi-
tion. Then was community video competition
followed by Poster competition and last but not
the least kids drawing competition. The pro-
gramme was concluded with prize distribution.

Carbon Footprint (Presented by:- Naresh Soni, Asma Issani, Akash Shirodkar )
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only
a year later, Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 millionpeople across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CNTower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Romes Colosseum, all stood in dark-ness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.Earth Hour 2010 was held from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time, March 27. Earth Hour 2010 was
reportedly the biggest Earth Hour yet, as 126 countries participated in the movement. But why
such day has come, when whole world has to switch off it lights and be in dark for one hour?
The reason is none other than rapid climate change thats happening due to global warm-
ing. Climate change is already affecting our livesand the places we live. Scientists have learnt that
there are several greenhouse gases responsible for warming, and humans emit them in a variety
of ways. Most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories and electricity produc-
tion. The gas responsible for the most warming is carbon dioxide, also called CO2. Other contribu-tors include methane released from landfills and agriculture (especially from the digestive sys-
tems of grazing animals), nitrous oxide from fertilizers, gases used for refrigeration and industrial
processes, and the loss of forests that would otherwise store CO2.

Greenhouse gases like CO2 absorb this infrared radiation from sunlight and trap the heat in the atmosphere and do allow it to passthrough them. This results in increase of earth temperature that causes global warming. Levels of several important greenhouse gases haveincreased by about 25 per cent since large-scale industrialization began around 150 years ago.Global warming happens due to greenhouse effect, which is also aided by something called carbon foot print of individuals. A carbon foot-print is "the total set of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event or product. For simplicity of reporti ng, it isoften expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted.
How to reduce carbon foot print?
Change your light bulbs to eco onesOne of the simplest things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint is replace your homes conventional light bulbs with energy-savingones. The latter used to be really expensive but prices have dropped dramatically and they come in all shapes and sizes, as well as differentwattages and hues
Turn it off when not in use (lights, television, DVD player, Hi Fi, computer etc.) Unplug the mobiles when charged, also dont keep appliances on standby mode. That little colored standby light uses 10-60 per
cent of the energy needed to power the appliance when in use, so always switch it off at the socket. Turn down the AC slightly (try just 5 degrees C from the ambient temp) Fill your washing machine with a full load - this will save you water, electricity, and washing powder. Do your weekly shopping in a single trip Travel less and travel more carbon footprint friendly, Car share to work, or for the kids school run
Use the bus or a train as much possible rather than your car, for short journeys either walk or cycle and Recycle as much as possible.
The RUPEE Symbol(Presented by:- Trupthi Govekar, Satyajit Dessai, Kapil Keny)In 2008, the Indian Government hinted about the possible creation of Rupees new symbol which had excited the public. Two years
later, , the Indian Currency (Indian Rupee) has finally joined the elite club of currencies, consisting of the US dollar, British pound sterling,Euro and Japanese yen, making it the 5th currency in the world to have a clear distinguishing identity.
The symbol has been created to recognize the increasing economic linkages between India and the world and to further highlightthe strength and robustness of the Indian economy as a favored destination for global investments. The symbol reflects and ca ptures Indianethos and culture. It standardizes the expression of Indian rupee in different languages. It also distinguishes the Indian currency from thosecountries whose currencies are also designated as rupee or rupiah, such as Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
This symbol was chosen from a public competition announced in 2009 and after several rounds of selection of those symbols the cabinetfinalised 5 symbols. The selection was based on the decision of a jury headed by Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Ms. Usha Thorat.The Symbol was finally chosen was the creation of IIT post-graduate Mr. D Udaya Kumar. The winning entry from IIT Bombay studentMr. D Udaya Kumar is a blend of Ra in Devanagri script and R in Roman. Two parallel lines crossing this Ra or R denot e the symbol isequal to one Indian rupee. It also denotes the stability of the economy. The design is based on the tricolor, with two lines at the top andwhite space in between.
The new symbol: Replaces the Rs, Re, INR that is used at present.
Will not be used on currency notes and coins. For Indian Market, the Keyboards will have the rupee symbol to facilitate ease of use. For External market, the IT companies will have to incorporate the symbol in their operative software to enable the computer users
worldwide to use the symbol even if it is not embedded on the keyboards. (This will be on the lines of Euro symbol, which is not embed-ded on the keyboards used in India).
The Brand, The Vision. -The symbol is being envisioned as a brand ambassador of the Indian economy to the world showcasing its grow-ing Image in the world Economy.
