Discussion: “Changing Bengaluru – In Your Voices”

You’ve cribbed, you’ve ranted, you’ve tolerated, you’ve praised (even if rarely) aspects of our city, Bengaluru. Here’s an opportunity to let everyone hear what you think about the way our city is changing.

PNLIT and Saaphalya Pramukha Trust are organizing an open discussion on how the city echoes with the many sweeping changes brought about by time and people. 
 
Leading the discussion will be Ms Bhargavi S. Rao, Trustee, Environment Support Group (ESG), Bengaluru and Mr G.V. Dasarathi who promotes sustainable transport (cycling, walking, using a bus). 
 
Venue: Gazebo, Puttenahalli Lake, Near MLR Convention Centre, JP Nagar 7th Phase
Date: Sat. 24th Aug 2013
Time: 10.30 a.m. (please assemble by 10.15 a.m.)
 
About the organizers:
 
Saaphalya Pramukha Trust was set up to address the issues that affect people and society at large. These are concerns voiced by Pramukh Raghunandan, a young journalist before his untimely demise. His articles along with views of experts on aspects that capture the soul of this city have been compiled in a volume titled “So The City Echoes” which will be available at the venue for a donation of any amount you make to Saaphalya.
 
Puttenahalli Neighbourhood Lake Improvement Trust (PNLIT) is a citizens’ initiative to tackle the worsening water crisis in the city by reviving our lakes. PNLIT maintains the Puttenahalli Lake with donations from the public.

Every Indian woman knows that being out in the city comes with rules - rules that determine who gets to be where and what you can and can’t do. But this show is not about those rules.

Unseen work, unheard stories: A convention on women and labour

A unique day-long initiative on February 29, 2020 to create a platform for women to honour and amplify their voices, their stories, and their knowledge.

Women’s labour is often unseen and their stories, often unheard. This unseen, invisible, and often unpaid labour is the ground upon which all ‘development’ in this monster economy takes place. We are witness to a moment in time when women are organising, fighting, and demanding their rights, questioning the very ideas of growth, progress and citizenship. In short, they are making their voices heard and making their labour visible. As part of our ongoing Satyagraha for the Sacred Economy, Gram Seva Sangh, Centre for Budget and Policy Studies along with few more organisations want to create a platform in the…
