There Will Be NO INTERNET in Udaipur for 2 days!!! Know Why!

To avoid fake candidates and cheating, district administration will ban internet services in Udaipur on 14th and 15th July. Rajasthan Police Constable Entrance Exam is going to get conducted at various centers in Udaipur. On these two days, internet services will not be available between 8 am to 5 pm. Considering the possibilities of irregularity at the centers, CCTV camera and jammers are installed.

These exams would be conducted in two slots on 14th and 15th July. The first slot would be from 10 am to 12 noon and the other one would be from 3 pm to 5 pm. At 24 centers in the city, around 14232 candidates will be appearing in the exam in every slot.

According to SP Rajendra Prasad Goyal “On both 14th and 15th July, internet services would be unavailable in the city. Initially, we tried to ban internet services in only those areas of the city where the centers of these exams were. But since the city has 24 exam centers, it would be difficult to ban internet in specific areas. Hence, it is possible that the internet would be unavailable in the entire district”.

Looks like this is how we are headed to become a ‘smart’ city and ‘IT’ hub. Not too much of smartness here, eh?

Ashadham Ashram | Helping those in need

A visit to Ashadham Ashram located in a remote corner of Sajjan Nagar near Sajjangarh fort arouses mixed feelings. The sight of sick persons, men, and women, young and old, suffering from different diseases touches one’s heart. On the other hand, watching the highly dedicated team of sisters engrossed fully in caring for the inmates gladdens ones’ heart.

Set up with the aim to accept people without any discrimination of caste, creed, and religion, Ashadham Ashram believes that everyone is the child of one God and serve the destitute, the poor and the abandoned. It tries to support them mentally, physically and socially to make them lead a life full of hope, happiness, and enthusiasm. This is being done by looking after them and treating them movingly.

Source: Ashadham Ashram

The story of how Ashadham Ashram was founded is quite dramatic. Sister Damian and Sister Bernadette who are members of Prabhudasi Sisters, Ajmer, were instrumental in starting this Ashram. God has wonderful plans for each one of us and without his mercy, care and help nothing can be accomplished. This has been true with Sister Damian. In the last phase of her teaching career, she thought of studying Ayurveda and serve the society. So she took permission from her Mother Superior to take this course. After the completion of her course, she along with Sister Bernadette went to Udaipur. Bishop Dr. Joseph Pathalil, to seek his blessings to start this new work. After listening to them the Bishop suggested that they should do something for the poor and needy people of the society. The sisters readily accepted this advice. Soon after this meeting, they found Lali, an 85-year-old lady lying on the roadside near Court Chouraha with both legs fractured and wounds decaying, as there was nobody to look after her. Nobody went near her as her wounds were stinking. The two sister took pity on her, bandaged her wounds gently and took her to the hospital in an auto. The doctors and nurses cured her. Every day, the two sisters visited lali with the help of the District Collector, the relations of Lali were identified and she went home. However, after a couple of days, Lali was again found lying on the road. This time, the sisters took her to a rented house arranged by a St. Pauls School teacher Ramesh Verma. They were morally supported by Advocate Fateh Singh Mehta who stood strongly with them to face all the legal challenges. Thus with its first inmate, Lali the noble mission of Ashadham Ashram started on 11th November 1997.

Within a couple of days, more such people were taken to the sisters and the number soon increased, so they were shifted to the staff quarters of St. Paul’s school with the permission of the Bishor. The people in the neighborhood were very helpful and came forward to supply whatever was headed by the inmates. As the number of the destitute increased rapidly, a generous social worker donated three lands in the suburb of the city in a locality called Sajjan Nagar and since then, the Ashram is being run there. A registered society named Ashadham Ashram society came into existence.

Ashadham Ashram is serving the abandoned and needy persons of the society by providing them food, clothing, medicines, shelter and getting treatment by admitting them to hospitals. If any relative comes to take an inmate, he is allowed to return home. Inmates who are fit enough are being trained in different skills such as rope making, paper craft, preparing vermin compost, taking care of cows, etc.

Mistakes a Tourist Makes while Visiting Udaipur

Udaipur certainly remains one gorgeous city in the country. The beauty, the landscapes, the culture and everything about the city is unbeatable. It is filled with a massive amount of history and culture and has some interesting stories behind every renowned site. This is how a local see the city but tourists come up with different perceptions and expectations and sometimes, he misses out on the most interesting parts while exploring the city, or in case he doesn’t, due to some common mistakes, he stays deprived of a remarkable travel experience.

Just so you could get the most out of your trip with your loved ones, we have prepared a list of common mistakes that a tourist does that make their experience bitter.

 

Covering every tourist spot in a single day

Udaipur is a stunning city where every corner of it is filled with fascinating stories and mind-blowing landscapes but the most common mistake a tourist does is trying to cover all the locations and all the spots while you are in the city for a single day. If you explore like this, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy a single place completely. So if you are here for less time, list maximum 3-4 places that you would want to soak in for the entire day.

 

Buying every item on a price told by the shopkeeper

You wouldn’t be able to resist yourself from buying those traditional clothes and handicrafts and you definitely should but before you do make sure that you do not give excessive money on these products. While you are shopping on the streets of the Old City or any popular market, keep in mind that there is a high scope of bargaining at every shop. You can save a high amount of bucks everywhere if you put your bargaining skills into action.

 

Wearing shorts while visiting temples

It is reasonable that you are on your vacation and would want to wear the most comfortable clothes in your wardrobe but unless you want to be stared at by the religious devotees in the temple, you better don’t wear shorts or revealing dresses at temples. In Udaipur or let’s say in India, they are still less acceptable at such places. So define your day’s wardrobe according to the destinations you wish to visit.

 

Traveling with heavy suitcases

Not just in Udaipur but any other place, traveling with heavy luggage and suitcases turns out to be quite difficult everywhere you go. Carrying them all around is tough but the main problem remains that it might get stolen. Although, Udaipur is safe as far as theft is concerned, but when your bad luck takes its stroll, you never know what might happen. So, it’s better to carry less luggage with you so that you could roam around worriless.

 

Relying completely on GPS

GPS might help you with some basic places but relying completely on GPS while exploring is not fair. Sometimes, two places have the same names and it might land you to an unwanted destination and you wouldn’t want to waste your valuable time when you are already short on time, right? So it would be good if you take some prior information about the destination or if possible even ask a few locals whether the direction is correct or not.

 

Missing out the outskirts of the city

Everyone is too much fascinated with the old city and there’s absolutely no reason why they shouldn’t but you shouldn’t just stick to that part of the city. If time allows you, you should explore other parts of the city as well and the outskirts. Look for how people actually live in the city. Most of these sights are unexplored and will give you an experience different from the rest of the tourists.

 

Traveling conveyance

If you are traveling with a limited budget, it would be better if you travel by public transport like bus, train or auto rickshaws. In a very minimal amount of money, you would be able to travel to places. However, if you are limited with your time, then it is advisable that you travel via cabs. Cabs are convenient, would be available almost everywhere in the city and you would be able to book them in advance so it could save you time, big time.

 

Eating at the familiar restaurant chains

While you are in the city, relish the authentic taste of Rajasthan rather than going to the same food joints that you could find anywhere. The traditional food of any region contains fresh ingredients and would give you the most of its flavor. This would not only give you a true Rajasthani experience but would also introduce you to the culture of the locality. And after all, the true essence of traveling is knowing the city as it is.

 

Spending an excessive amount of money on Hotels

This could prove a great tip to people who are traveling with a specified budget. If you are not looking for a great lake view from your room, instead of choosing for expensive hotels in the Old City, you could opt for average hotels in the city center or much better if you are comfortable with hostels or dormitories. They could save you some large amount of bucks while traveling and you could utilize the money for other things.

And the last suggestion for the list would be, go where your heart leads to. If you are willing to stay at a place for a little long just because it soothes your soul, stay there. If you feel like talking to a complete stranger, do it. At the end of your trip, it is just these crazy experiences and memorable moments that are going to count, not the money you spend, not the places you see.

It augurs well that several agencies such as forest department, tourism dept., Municipal co., and urban improvement trust are making concerted efforts to boost tourism in and around Lake City. Some already existing spots of tourism importance are getting facelift whereas some new ones are being developed. Baghdara Nature Park, that is about 20 km from the city would now be a big attraction for nature lovers as they would not only be able to watch wildlife like panthers and crocodiles at close quarters but spend nights in tents to be in the lap of nature. To make the stay of tourists, more facilities like a zip line, zig-zag adventure sports, and a cafeteria have been provided. On the neighboring hills have been planted 500 plants. The private agency that would be managing all these facilities would also look after the safety of the visitors. The choupati at Swaroop Sagar is the first of its kind to be built on the Swacch Bharat theme, would cost about 2.70 crores. There would be steel frames on either side. Garden area is to be developed in small parts with walking tracks. The 200 by 60 feet choupati is to have 6 stalls with 6 modular kiosks to keep the area clean.

Ecotone Park on the bank of Badi that is about 10 km from the city where one can reach either through Rampura and Gorela or through Fatehsagar bank, has been developed to enable tourists to have a close view of wildlife and stay in the tents at night, according to OP Sharma, DFO.

The badgaon hill that covers an area of about 400 hectares is also being developed as a tourist spot by UIT. Situated in Sector 14 of the city, Nela talab has also been developed on the lines of Fateh Sagar with an attractive main gate, sitting space and LED lights, rows of coconut trees also add to the attraction. Religious places like Amrakhji and Badbadeshwar are also being developed.

According to UIT Chairman Ravendra Shrimali, Nandeshwar is being developed as a tourist spot with an amusement park more greenery, broader approach roads, viewpoints and renovation of the ancient Mahadev Mandir and Baori. Udaipur Paal is also being made more attractive for tourists.

During this monsoon season, tourists on way to Mount Abu would have another new attraction at Kanan Kuteer, Ghata Nadi with facilities for trekking in dense forests, stay in newly built rest house and camps. Van Surakhsa Evam Prabandh Samiti, Thamlaberi would provide food, guides, and safety. At the processing center, tourist can watch how different products like juice and shampoo are made from aloe vera, amla, sitaphal. Segura hill, Bedwas on the road to Chittorgarh is also being developed as eco-park with selfie points having Mewari paintings, models of wild animals, huts for shade, flower, plants and creepers and a long boundary wall for safety.

Located about 100 km from Udaipur, the Kolda region has a green forest, flowing rivers and waterfalls, dense sanctuaries. After traveling about 70 km one comes across high hills and serpentine roads, the view of numerous palm trees near the Kalibor and Sabarmati dams is extremely charming. Between the hills flows the Vakal River, other attractions include the herbal plant gardens near Jogiwad dam, the bridge viewpoint, and the famous Phulwari ki Nal sanctuary spread over 511 sq. km.

To commemorate the sacrifice of Panna Dhai to save Maharana Pratap’s life, Panna Dhai Panorama is coming up fast, near her village Kameri, about 10 km from Amet on the Deogarh road. Located on a hill, it is to have a huge 9 feet statue of Panna Dhai. There would also be an auditorium, tourist resting hall, a museum, and a library.

Nearer home, for the entertainment of tourists at night in Sahelion ki Badi, programmes of music, dance and puppet shows are to be started. At present, the Badi has only ancient fountains and a garden. The work on Kalangan art gallery is also progressing fast. On average, the Badi has a footfall of about 7 lac Indian and foreign tourists every year and the number goes up during festival time. The lawns and the huge variety of colorful flowers in the Vibhuti Park near Fatehsagar Paal have also become a big attraction for tourist. Some creative persons from Gadio Luher community have introduced heritage bullock carts that have brass nails and colored stripes. No wonder tourists in the city enjoy joy rides on them.

It seems with the addition of this attraction, the number of tourists in Udaipur would shoot up.

वह रोती रही बिलखती रही… लेकिन उसकी बात सुनने वाला कोई नहीं था…

समाज बहुत राजनैतिक जगह है। अगर आप समाज में रह कर खुद को ज़िंदा रख पा रहे हैं तो यकीन मानिए आप बहुत ही अच्छे राजनेता हो। हम सभी बहुत अच्छे राजनेता है। क्योंकि हम इस समाज रूपी राजनीति में खुद को बचाने में सफ़ल रहे हैं।

Mob lynching
प्रतीकात्मक चित्र

लोग कहते है समाज ने हमें बांधे रखा है इंसानों को बचाए रखा है। पर किस कीमत पर? इस कीमत पर कि एक माँ को उसके बच्चे से अलग कर दिया गया, केवल शक़ के आधार पर?

पुलिस को जानकारी दिए बिना, किसी संस्थान को बताए बगैर, उन 2-4-8-10-100-200 लोगो की भीड़ ने आपसी बात कर उस औरत को ‘बच्चा-चोर’ घोषित कर दिया और फिर पीट-पीटकर उसके बच्चे से अलग कर दिया और भी न जाने कितनी ही और यातनाएं दी होगी।

भीड़ को एक पल भी इस बात का एहसास नहीं हुआ होगा कि वह औरत बच्चे के नाम को चीख़ कर रो रही है, एक बार भी यह नहीं महसूस हुआ कि बच्चा अपनी माँ से बिछड़ कर किस क़दर रो रहा है?

Mob lynching
मामले की संवेदनशीलता देखते हुए आर्टिकल में प्रतीकात्मक चित्र यूज़ किये गए हैं।

ये है हमारा समाज और यही हक़ीक़त है इस समाज की। जो कुछ लोग असल मायनों में ‘समाज’ को बचाने में लगे हैं वो सिर्फ़ ‘चारे में राई’ के समान है। उन्हें अंग्रेजी में एक्ससेप्शन कहा गया है। नहीं तो अब तक हमनें इंसानो को कभी का लड़-झगड़ कर ख़त्म कर दिया होता।

पति के हाथों गर्म जलती लकड़ीयो से कई बार दागने, उसके हाथों पीटने के बावजूद पीहर वालों ने वहां से भागी ‘कौशल्या’ को फिर ससुराल भेज दिया। आख़िरकार तंग आकर वो ‘पागल-बच्चा चोर’ बच्चे को कमर से बांधे मध्य-प्रदेश के सतना जिले से उदयपुर आ गई। लेकिन इस दौरान भीड़ ने ऊपर वाली लाइन में लिखी सामाजिक गाली का उपयोग करते हुए उससे बच्चा छीन लिया। इतना सबकुछ होने के बाद भी हमारे द्वारा बसाए समाज ने उसे कुछ दिया तो वो थी गाली – घूरती नज़रें – पीटते हाथ।

परेशां, भागती-दौड़ती जैसे तैसे अपने बच्चे को उन लोगो से बचाने में सफ़ल हुईं। लेकिन एक दिन थक-हारकर उसनें आत्महत्या का फ़ैसला ले लिया। क्योंकि ये उस राजनीति के राजनेता नहीं थी।

तभी 2-4 लोग, ये वो भीड़ थी, ‘चारे में राई के समान’ वाली। उन लोगो ने तुरंत दोनो को वहां से उठाया। cws और आशाधाम ने उसके शरीर पर लगे दाग़ भी देखे।

इस तरह की घटनाएं बहुत तेजी से बढ़ रही है चाहे वो आसाम की हो या महाराष्ट्र-पश्चिम बंगाल की या कहीं की भी हो। पूरा भारत इस तरह की घटनाओं से झकड़ा जा रहा है। यह घटना हमारे लिए एक सबक थी।

मैं यह सब लिखने से पहले आप लोगों के सामने एक प्रश्न रखना चाह रहा था लेकिन अब जब आप इस आर्टिकल को पढ़ कर इसके समाप्ति की ओर होंगे तब-तक उस प्रश्न ने आपकी आंखों के सामने एक पेंडुलम की तरह झूलना शुरू कर दिया होगा।

पोलियों, सेरेब्रल पाल्सी से पीड़ित लोगों की पिछले 30 साल से मदद करता नारायण सेवा संस्थान

उदयपुर में शायद ही कोई ऐसा हो जिसनें, नारायण सेवा संस्थान का नाम न सुना हो। अब तो न सिर्फ् उदयपुर और राजस्थान ही नहीं देस-परदेस के लोगो के लिए भी यह एक जाना-पहचाना नाम बन चूका है। इसका उदहारण, हमें भी वहीं जाकर मिला जब हमनें देखा कि राजस्थान के अलावा उत्तर-प्रदेश, मध्य-प्रदेश, छत्तीसगढ़ के साथ साथ गुजरात, महाराष्ट्र आदि राज्यों से लोग अपना या अपने बच्चों का इलाज करवाने के लिए यहाँ आए हुए हैं।narayan seva sansthan udaipur

यह वो लोग थे जो उम्मीद खो चुके थे कि अब कुछ नहीं हो सकता या वो भी जो पोलियो-सेरेब्रल पाल्सी के इलाज में लगने वाले खर्च का वहन नहीं कर सकते थे। टीवी, विज्ञापन और माउथ पब्लिसिटी (जो यहाँ इलाज करवा चुके हैं, उनके द्वारा बताएं जाने पर) ही इन सभी को पता लगा था कि यहाँ पर निःशुल्क इलाज किया जाता हैं। दिलचस्प बात ये भी हैं कि दूर-दराज से आने वाले लोगों को NSS(नारायण सेवा संस्थान) वाले रेलवे स्टेशन/बस स्टेशन तक लेने और छोड़ने भी जाते हैं ताकि उन्हें किसी तरह की तकलीफ़ ना हो और ये सबकुछ निःशुल्क सेवा-भाव से किया गया कार्य होता है।narayan seva sansthan udaipur

नारायण सेवा संस्थान, उदयपुर में करीब 730 के आसपास एम्प्लोयी हैं जो खुद को एम्प्लोयी मानने से मना करते हैं। इन्हें ‘साधक’ की उपाधि दी हुई है और इलाज करवाने आए सभी लोग भी साधक कह कर ही पुकारते हैं।

वहां के एक साधक से बात करने पर एक अचंभित करने वाले आंकड़ा पता चला। यहाँ आने वाले मरीजों की अपडेटेड वेटिंग लिस्ट 14,000 है जो कभी 30,000 के करीब हुआ करती थी। इसी से आप अंदाजा लगा सकते हैं कि कितने और ज़रूरतमंद अपने नंबर का इन्तजार कर रहे हैं।

प्रशांत अग्रवाल जो कि नारायण सेवा संस्थान के जनक कैलाश ‘मानव’ अग्रवाल के बेटे हैं, उनसे हुई बातचीत में उन्होंने नारायण सेवा संस्थान के बनने से लेकर अब तक के कई किस्से साझा किए। उनमें से कुछ हम यहाँ आपके साथ शेयर कर रहे है:-

  • जब पिताजी ने इसकी शुरुआत की थी तब इसका कोई नामकरण नहीं हुआ था। वो बस मदद करना चाहते थे। लेकिन कुछ साल बाद किसी के सुझाव पर नाम रखने की सोची। तब इसका नाम ‘दरिद्र नारायण सेवा’ रखा गया। लेकिन माँ के कहने पर नाम से ‘दरिद्र’ शब्द हटा दिया गया।
  • एक और किस्सा वो ये बताते हैं कि शुरू में किसी ने पिताजी के इस काम को तवज्जो नहीं दी, उल्टा सभी इनका विरोध ही करते रहे। जिस कॉलोनी हम रहा करते थे तब सामान से लदा ट्रक आया जिसकी वजह से कॉलोनी में लगा एक पत्थर टूट गया। इस पर कॉलोनीवासियों ने विरोध करना शुरू कर दिया और इस काम को बंद करने को कहा। बाद में पिताजी के ये कहने पर कि ये एक नेक काम है और वो पत्थर में फिर से लगवा दूंगा तब जाकर वो लोग शांत हुए।
