Speakers and Audience

Today, June 26 is Establishment day of Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch. We are thankful to our founders, all our speakers, journalists and especially the audience who helped us running and flourish this forum during our unbroken journey of thirty-two long years. We, at this moment, take the opportunity to thank all Jaipurites.

Late Dr. Ukala Arora (Sanskrit Education Minister, Rajasthan) was the founder of this forum along with Late Sri Girdharilal Bhargava (Six times Member of Parliament (MP- Loksabha) from Jaipur consecutively. I remember both of them with great respect. They founded the forum on June 26, 1983. Sri Raghunathdas Somani generously donated an amount of Rs. eleven thousand for running the cost of the forum and he was honored with Patronship.

The date was deliberately chosen to remember the black day of imposing Emergency on Indian democracy by Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India. Right to freedom of speech was snatched from the people of India during the Emergency period. The Manch was started with a view to empower the citizens of Jaipur with freedom of speech.

The Manch has been organizing public meetings every Sunday since its inception. We chose a topic of public interest and invite a subject expert to speak on the topic. The audience used to exercise their right to ask questions, bring their problems or suggest some solutions. All the audience are free to speak in this forum.

Large numbers of dignitaries adorned the Chair as Chief speaker or to Preside over the meetings. We had Chandrashekhar, former Prime Minister of India, Admiral VS Shekhawat, Hon'ble  MG Mukherjee, Chief Justice, Rajasthan High Court,  Hon'ble Justice VS Dave, reverend  Jagatguru Shankaracharya and many others dignified personalities among us.

We have already met more than 1600 times on all Sundays during our journey of 32 long years. Entry is free for all and we request everyone to come and join the forum.

Late Girdharilal Bhargav, MP, Jaipur and Late Dr. Ujala Arora, Minister, Rajasthan were the founder of this Manch.

Darshan Kothari, Chief speaker of the program told that Dasahara and Vijaya Dasami are one of the main festivals of Hindu Communities. Dasahara is a Kshatriya festival according to Hinduism.

However, the nature of these festivals are liable for such classification. Kshatriya community worship their arms and weapons on the eve of Dasahara.

Rajasthan is the land of brave Rajputs. Hence, Dasahara has a great importance for them.
It is Vijaya Dasami in West Bengal. Bengali community enjoys "Kolakoli" in this day. Vijaya Dasami comes just after Durga Puja, the greatest festival of Bengal. Lord Rama (Ram) conquered Ravan (Demon King) on this day.

Mr. B L Mantri

 Current situation of Gems and Jewelry trade has been discussed in the forum meeting today in Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch on Sunday, December 27, 2009.
Mr. B. L. Mantri, Chief Speaker told that Jaipur is a traditional center of gemstones. Jewelers and gem dealers of Jaipur are renowned world wide. Jaipur has earned reputation and also earned money in this trade. However, the trade is facing tremendous problems since last one and half years.
Gems and Jewelry trade is victim of global recession and slow down. At least fifty percent of total godds manufactured in Jaipur are exported and consumed by the Americans. Hence, slow down in American economy has severely affected Gems and Jewelry trade in Jaipur.
He added that abundance of synthetic materials has also played its role to slower movements of gem stones especially semi precious.
Gopinath Pareek, Dr. Ritum Garg,  Rampal also contributed to the discussion and asked questions. Both the Chief guest and the Presiding dignitary have answered these queries.
Jyoti Kothari, proprietor Vardhaman Gems informed that Gems and Jewelry trade was very lucrative and fetched high margins in the past. Jewelers and gemstone dealers of Jaipur were highly skilled and earned hand ful of money in the past. Situation has turned now and they are facing world wide competition while buying rough gemstones overseas and selling cut and polished ones. margin of profit has too shrinked to survive.
Mr. Satyendra Tunkalia, President of the forum discussion  informed that Jaipur is shifting towards studded Jewelry from color stones. Abnormal hike in Gold and Silver price has affected studded Jewelry business severely. People face a budget constraint while buying studded Jewelry. He added that jewelers are shifting from 22 K and 18 K Jewelry to 14 K and 9 K gold in diamond studded Jewelry. Hike in silver price compels silver Jewelry manufacturers to use lower quality of silver.

Rural Education in Rajasthan



Meeting 1392, on November 29, 2009

Rampal garlanding Anil Kothari
President of Meeting
Audience seating in the Sun


Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch forum discussed the topic " Rural Education in Rajasthan"  today. Educationist Dipankar Vishwas, Chief speaker told "Situation of rural education in Rajasthan was not good at the time of independence. It was among the most illiterate states of India".

The situation has been changed in last decade. Rajasthan is no longer at the top list of uneducated states. Number of good institutions are working in cities like Jaipur and Kota and other urban areas. Rural scenario has also been changed. All these become possible with the combined efforts of Government and private entrepreneurship. Public-private partnership has worked well in several places.

Non government and voluntary organizations have played key role in eradicating illiteracy along with the state government. Many voluntury organizations worked hard in this sector.

He especially reminded the works of Ekal Vidyalaya. They are working to educate tribes of Rajasthan in the remote areas. They run approximately 1500 tribal schools in Rajasthan.

Mr. Ramraj Gujar informed about the situation of rural education in Dausa district. Mamta Kothari told that state of women education in Rajasthan is improved. Girls are now started going schools. However, large number of older rural women are still uneducated. Adult education program did not help them much. Dinesh Kasliwal, Pradip Chouhan and Meenakshi also participated in the discussion.

Anil Kothari, Jeweler, Presided over the meeting. He told that rural artisans coming to work were mostly illiterates in last decades. Most of the new artisans are literate now. This has changed the business scenario.

Earlier, Rampal Garlanded the Chief guest and president of the meeting. Jyoti Kothari, Addl. convener of Gulabinagar Vichar Manch conducted the forum discussion. Tejkaran Parashar Extended the vote of Thanks.
