Improving Municipal Solid Waste Management in India by P U Asnani,Chris Zurbrugg Pdf
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a matter of great concern in the urban areas of developing countries. The municipal authorities who are responsible for managing municipal solid waste are unable to discharge their obligations effectively because they lack the in-house capacity to handle the complexities of the process. It is heartening to see that the World Bank has prepared this book covering all important aspects of municipal SWM in great depth. The book covers very lucidly the present scenario of SWM in urban areas, the system deficiencies that exist, and the steps that need to be taken to correct SWM practices in compliance with Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 ratified by the Government of India. The book shares examples of best practices adopted in various parts of the country and abroad, and very appropriately covers the institutional, financial, social, and legal aspects of solid waste management, which are essential for sustainability of the system. It provides a good insight on how to involve the community, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to help improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service, and shows how contracting mechanisms can be used to involve the private sector in SWM services. This book will be a very useful tool for city managers and various stakeholders who deal with municipal solid waste management in the design and execution of appropriate and cost-effective systems.
In a remote corner of 1930’s Spain a small settlement of ancient, displaced peasants eke out a precarious existence as squatters in a hilltop shanty-town reflecting the country’s unstable political balance in the stagnation between the First Republic and the coming civil war. One of these old ragpickers happens upon a week-or-so-old baby that has been abandoned in an alley of the nearby city. The old man does not hesitate to rescue the baby into his donkey cart because of the numerous large rats that infest the alleys. But persuading the other old folks to allow him and his wife to keep the baby is another matter. After much wrangling they all agree the old couple can keep the baby at least temporarily, providing no trouble is brought down on all their heads. Trouble of course is just what they get, as they struggle to keep the baby out of the abyss of a government orphanage as represented by a young government lawyer; and also out of the equally ubiquitous clutches of the Church orphanage program, personified by his opponent, an attractive young church social worker of his own age. The resolution of the ragpickers dilemma is echoed in the resolution of an incidental and convoluted romantic interest between the two young people.
Child Labour and Human Rights by D. C. Nanjunda Pdf
The recent trend in the global system is to evaluate the development of any country not in terms of their military or economic strength or the splendor of their capital cites and big public buildings, but also in terms of human development or the well being of its citizens. Against this backdrop, the existence and perpetuation of child labor has been one of the main limiting factors standing in the way of human development in almost all the developing countries, including India. The issue of child labour is a worldwide phenomenon and it exists in almost all the countries of this planet. Meanwhile it is very sadding to write that our India is one among the nation in the world, which has the unique distinction of being a large employer of child labour. Since child labour is a more complex natured problem a balanced approach is needed to solve this issue with an interactive role from all concerned people and the agencies. It is the right time for all to be highly and really think regarding ensure of better social, political and economic lives to all sections of the society, at least in the interest of human rights in this new millennium. Apart from the normal style, this book contains some thematic discussion on child labor and human rights. Each chapter has written based on grass root experiences of the author. This is the most creamy part of this book. Each and every chapter of his book gives a different outlook on the problem to the readers. This book will be highly useful to academic people, anthropologists, policy makers, NGOs, research students, Development agencies and others, interested in studying the growing problems of child labour.

Following his acclaimed work, A Song for Nagasaki, in which Fr. Paul Glynn told the powerful story of Dr. Nagai, a Christian convert of remarkable courage and compassion who ministered to victims of the atomic bomb attack on his city, The Smile of a Ragpicker brings us the heroic story of Satoko Kitahara, a young, beautiful woman of wealth who gave up her riches and comfort to be among the ragpickers in the Tokyo slums. Motivated by her newfound faith in Christ, she plunged into the life of the poor, regardless of the consequences. As Satoko helped the poor with their material and spiritual needs, she also helped them to recover their self-respect and dignity. Satokoಙs story demonstrates how one personಙs life can affect so many others. Every day Satoko encountered Christ in some new and challenging way, calling the Church back to identification with the poor. Like Dr. Nagai, she expressed her faith through the sensitivity and beauty of her own Japanese culture. Satoko died a young woman, in dire poverty. Yet her death, mourned by many thousands, reflected her triumphant life of deep Christian faith and charity. This is a powerful story of reconciliation and healing, between people of different social, economic and religious backgrounds, inspired by a frail young woman of luminous faith. Illustrated with photos. Fr. Paul Glynn is a Marist priest who served as a missionary in Japan for twenty-five years. He has written five other books including A Song for Nagasaki and Healing Fire of Christ. Praise for The Smile of the Ragpicker: "Satoko had deep faith in Godಙs providence and a strong love for Mary Immaculate. Living a truly Christ-like life, she brought many Japanese to know Jesus Christ and to embrace the Catholic faith. This is a powerful story of a contemporary, sophisticated Japanese girl who, like a female St. Francis, spent her life caring for the poor and homeless in Tokyo." - Fr. Ken Baker, S.J., Author, Inside the Bible "I particularly like the Japanese so much so that I married one! My wife, a convert to the faith, is heir to a glorious Catholic history in Japan. Fr. Glynn gives us another modern story of Japanese Catholic heroism. Satoko was a young woman who gave up a life of wealth to minister to the 'ragpickers' in Tokyoಙs post-war slums. She brought hope to the hopeless and showed the love of Christ to people who had not heard of him." - Karl Keating, Author, Catholicism & Fundamentalism
