'Phailin: Man Made Disaster'

By on
Odisha state is suffering from "Phailin: a man-made disaster", because the Government is neglecting its duty knowingly and willfully. The disaster of Phailin is nothing we the Government could have taken proper preventive action and active relief and rehabilitation. The Phailin came and went but the disaster remains because of some people in power neglecting to attend the relief work. Thus, Phailin is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The following will give you the clear ideas about the same.

Government is Playing the Blame-Game
The Central Government is blaming the Odisha state government for not utilizing the central resources and fund to tackle Phailin.
"Prime Minister Manomohan Singh and AICC Chairman Sonia Gandhi were very much vigilant over the situation. However, despite all support from the Centre, the State Government failed to manage and utilise the resources and ended up in a mess." - Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Jayadev Jena


Whereas, the state government is blaming the Central government for not providing the adequate fund and support, “ Till date, no assistance is given which exposes the injustice of the Union Government towards Odisha,” said Revenue Minister SN Patro at a Press conference here.


When the government plays a blame - game like this the victim survival remains to be victims without getting any relief and rehabilitation.

Governments Game: Lives of People Vs Trees after Phailin

And on the other hand the Odisha State government is warried about the plantation of trees.

This shows how the State government cars about the people. It means that the trees are more important than the lives of the people.

Turning compassion into action, and knowledge into light.

  The Circle That Never Breaks: Why Tribal Marginalization Still Continues It has been more than a century—generation after generation—yet the tribal people of our country continue to live on the margins of development. Governments have spent enormous sums in the name of tribal upliftment. Schemes are launched, funds are allocated, reports are published. But if one stands in a tribal village today and compares it with the life of their grandparents or great-grandparents, the painful truth emerges: nothing has fundamentally changed. The grandfather was marginalized. The father remained marginalized. And the child, with all signs, is being prepared—slowly and silently—to inherit the same fate. The Evidence Lies in Everyday Life Despite the vocabulary of “development” floating around them, tribals continue to depend on the system for survival, not empowerment. Consider these everyday realities: 1. Education without elevation The schools exist, the teachers are paid, the child...

Who can be the “Change”?

In schools we learnt that we plant trees for the grandchildren. It means we plant trees and our grandchildren enjoy the fruits, sheds, woods etc. That means we grow old and fed away and could not benefit from the recompense. So, the focus is on the grown up and old people. To this extend, the more the elder people work, the more “ changes” will take place in the future.                     But it is opposite in the development area we focus on the old and grown up people by giving a lot of trainings and instruction hoping that they will bring a change in the society. But in reality they are already old enough who starts journey towards their fading way. Thus, they could bear a little and the “ change” is being reduced. On the other hand, if we train and instruct the children and youths, they would bring much more change in the society, because they would be applying it in their day-today-life when they will be grown-up...
