TedX At IIM-I - In Conversation With Mr Pawar

 Popatrao Baguji Pawar, currently ex-director of the Maharahtra State government’s model village program has led Hiware Bazaar’s transformation from a drought-prone village to a green and prosperous model village. As the former sarpanch of the village, he reproduced Anna Hazare’s Ralegaon Siddhi model of village development. He traversed a long and arduous path in creating the ‘adarsh gaon’ self-governance and self-reliance. He featured in India Today’s cover story as the person who demonstrated how rural water resources could be reviewed. The Hiware Bazaar Gram Panchayat won the first National Award for community-led water conservation in 2007.

Happy Women's Day! But Is It Really Necessary?

There are days which are meant to raise awareness like World Aids Day or TB Day or days which commemorate certain events in history like the Republic Day, the Independence Day. But one such Day that we have been celebrating since 1909 is the International Women's Day and I cannot fathom why. Is it of utmost importance that a day be dedicated to women and get them flowers and treat them like royalty? Especially when for the rest of the days, you still scowl at your wife for adding extra sugar to your tea or delaying ironing your white shirt when you are absolutely capable of doing your chores by yourself. Sadly, very few households in India endorse and more importantly practise gender equality behind closed doors when no one's there to compliment you on how 'modern' you are. Then why the pretence?
