Citations of Awards by Eastern Region of National HRD Network Introduction to Awards Speaking at the Harvard Commencement earlier this year, Bill Gates remarked that he had one big regret... He said, “I left Harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world - the appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair. 1 learned a lot at Harvard about new ideas in economics and politics. 1 got great exposure to the advances being made in the sciences. But humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries - but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity. Whether through democracy, strong public education, quality health care, or broad economic opportunity - reducing inequity is the highest human achievement. I left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities… And 1 knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries.” Extraordinary stories highlight the massive social change that is taking place around the world today. Millions of ordinary people in the non-profit sector are increasingly stepping in to solve problems which governments and bureaucracies have failed to address. What business entrepreneurs are to the economy, social entrepreneurs are to social change. They are the driven, creative individuals who question the status quo, exploit new opportunities, refuse to give up - and remake the world for the better. Along with business entrepreneurs, policy makers, investors, academics, and journalists, social entrepreneurs and their innovations are inspiring a new generation of changemakers to create positive social change. With determination and innovation, even a single person can make a surprising difference. Today, the Eastern Region of the National HRD Network is proud to honour a few such extraordinary individuals, who through their passion, commitment and concern have creatively impacted the lives of the dispossessed to build for them a new world of dignity and economic independence. Vishal Talreja Though the number of literate people in India has increased over the years, our country still has the largest number of uneducated children in the world. The pitiable conditions of child labour and street children, coupled with child abuse and poverty, paint a dismal picture. Data shows that every second child in the country suffers from malnutrition, and almost 60,000 children are born with HIV each year! Basic health care is a distant dream for most of our people. The condition of India's youth population is no less pitiable. A large number of the nation's youth do not have the privilege of making education, career or lifestyle choices due to lack of finance and opportunities. For most of us these are alarming statistics; troubling perhaps and worrisome maybe. But for a group of exceptional people these facts and figures called for fundamental and far-reaching change. With belief in the power to transform lives, and the vision to empower and integrate vulnerable children within communities, 'Dream a Dream' was born in November 1999 when Vishal Talreja quit the comfortable life of an Investment Banker and chose the road less travelled. For encouraging children with HIV and cancer; for integrating disadvantaged children within communities and enhancing public awareness around children's needs and issues; for contributing to the welfare of the disabled and the elderly; for creating awareness on . healthcare, human rights and environment issues; but most of all, for having the courage to dream big; the Eastern Region of the National HRD Network is proud to honour Vishal Talreja, co-founder and Director of 'Dream a Dream'. Gargi Baneriee and Sunil Pillai The phenomenon of dispossession is neither new nor uncommon. It prevails in every state, every society and in every strata. The fortunate view the dispossessed with compassion and sometimes extend a helping hand; others choose not to acknowledge this dark presence. Only a handful of people have the ability to take compassion to a far higher plane; marry it with committed concern, address the state of dispossession as a solvable problem and then proceed to deal with the problem professionally. They are driven not by the desire for fame or fortune; they are driven by the finest spirit that humankind can demonstrate: the spirit of humanity. The severe deprivation of the indigenous communities living in the Indian Himalayas, the fast depleting natural wealth, the eroding culture and neglected conservation and development needs gave birth to the vision of Pragya. By applying modern, technical and managerial knowledge to development issues, Pragya stepped into unchartered areas, not only inspiring the local people to address these issues, but also drawing the world's attention to the problems of the Himalayan region and its peoples. Pragya's innovative projects include setting. up cooperatives for Himalayan medicinal plants, providing electricity in remote villages through the first-ever Solar Wind Hybrid system, establishing snow reservoirs to address the crisis of receding glaciers and establishing rural museums and education facilities in remote areas. For forsaking successful corporate careers to 'Contribute to the concerns of the dispossessed Himalayan mountain communities; for adapting management systems to create effective grassroots institutions; for literally moving mountains to show the world how a committed group of people can revolutionise mindsets and lifestyles in the remotest of areas; for making change happen where it is needed the most; and for demonstrating the most laudable entrepreneurial spirit, the Eastern Region of the National HRD Network is proud to honour Gargi Banerjee and Sunil Pillai of Pragya. Sister Cyril Moonev Possibly the most beautiful of God's creations; but also the most abused, the Indian girl child is fated at conception for infanticide, abandonment or utter neglect. Only a small percentage of girl children are welcomed to a life that cherishes them and empowers them to achieve their full potential. It is to this world that Padma Shri Cyril Mooney, a Sister of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Loreto), brings hope and faith. Picking them up from pavements or from poverty stricken homes, she gives them a life of security, warmth and happiness; restoring childhood into their dismal lives. The lady behind this massive mission of providing education and shelter to countless girls of Kolkata has effectively used children as agents of change - thus transforming the lives of the underprivileged and enriching the lives of the privileged. The spirit of empathy that she has instilled in young students from schools and colleges motivated her to to go a step further - to village outreach programmes and to slums - to identify' and teach children who do not go to school. For her legionary contribution to making children agents of change; for her creative Rainbow Educational Programme to create an education system that is impactful, child focused, simple and sustainable; for creating an army of Barefoot Teachers to provide appropriate education to the deprived; for her helping hand in attacking Hidden Domestic Child Labour; for bringing street children into the security of school buildings at night; for her Child to Child programme; and for many other path-breaking measures across the country that are transforming and enriching the lives of our underprivileged children, the Eastern Region of the National HRD Network is proud to honour Sister Cyril Mooney. | HRD News Letter | December 2007, Vol.23, Issue:9 57 |
