Unemployed Youth Association for

dissolution of Bishnupriya ManipuriDevelopment CouncilNews and Views

From our Special Correspondent

SILCHAR, July 1: Bishnupriya Manipuri Unemployed Youth Association based here has demandeddissolution of the committee of Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council and its reconstitution with

25 members to be nominated afresh by the people of the community. In a memorandum addressed tothe Chief Minister of Assam, Tarun Gogoi, with a copy to the Deputy Commissioners of Cachar,Karimganj, Hailakandi and Kamrup (metro), the Association has stated that through an RTI, it has cometo know that the development council was instructed by the department concerned to distribute autorickshaws to unemployed youths of the community. But, the beneficiaries were from ex servicemen andaffluent families and the unemployed youths were deprived.

The Association took up the cases of these neglected and deprived youths several times with thedepartment concerned and also through representations, but nothing tangible happened. It was allegedthat the committee collected lakhs of rupees from the beneficiaries to provide them auto rickshaws.

According to their information, each beneficiary was made to pay Rs 30,000 to 40,000 as commission.The Association demanded an inquiry into it by the vigilance cell of the Chief Minister.

Even in the distribution of sewing machines, the beneficiaries again were rich families, sidetracking theunemployed youths for their self employment. Specific instances have been cited by the Association.Runu Sinha, wife of lecturer of Maibong College, and Purna Lakshmi Sinha, wife of a bank employee, gotthe benefit of sewing machines, depriving the unemployed women. With regard to the distribution of financial assistance to clubs and self help groups, it has been further alleged that fake names of suchclubs and SHGs have figured on the list and each of them received the financial help to the tune of Rs8.24 lakh.

In view of these anomalies and irregularities, Bishnupriya Manipuri Unemployed Youth Association hasdemanded closure of the office of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council and its reconstitutionwith new members elected by the people of the community. While the Chief Minister of Assam hasbeen urged upon to conduct through investigation into the allegations levelled against the Council andthe Deputy Commissioners of the the areas concerned have been impressed upon to take action againstthe members of the community for their alleged corrupt practices and issue necessary proclamation toclose down the office of the Council.

Wake up Media!Pranati Sinha

This is not a proud moment for me and for many who loves Guwahati. Guwahati to me is a city of loveand exuberance; a city that unbinds itself in the songs of Bihu and bestows upon couples the freedom of togetherness. When I first came to the city, I found enchantment in seeing young hearts throbbing everynook and corner; in park, in bazaar, in restaurants. I was then wondering i snt there a sense of

insecurity, a sense of risk in them? I understood culture administers life. If I am not exaggerated, I wouldsay Guwahati accepts love, the most reproached thing in some of our Indian societies. In my opinion,Right to Love is one of the major attributes of a liberal humanist society. In such a mighty-heart city,where people are given freedom to live their dreams and wishes, what rot had taken over those citydwellers who brought disgrace to a teenage girl publicly with no reason. The newspapers and TVchannels are making their headlines over the incident and web is going wild by videos and comments. Iam pondering and persuading myself to the incident.

of questionable utilization of government allotted funds of Rs 2.60 crore during 2010-11 and 2011-12.They have at the same time been clamouring for action against the members of the committee involvedin corruption and formation of a new committee of the Development Council. All these demands cameup within the ambit of discussions held in the conference hall of the minister, Rajib Lochan Pegu.

After the process of inquiry was over, the formation of new committeewould be discussed.

At the discussion were present Minister of WPT and BC, Rajib Lochan Pegu, Commissioner and Secretary

of the department, R K Das, Joint Secretary, Director, Jiten Borgoary, Deputy Secretary and In-Charge of Development Council, Dipima Malakar.

decision and withdraw the agitation for the time being on the assurance of the Minister of initiating thesteps for an inquiry committee and follow up action.

How to get into media Jobs and Career

RK Rishikesh Sinha

Its been two years I am out of the media sector. Now, I dont sit around newsmakers and I dont get

free lunch! A privilege of a media person.

Today, if someone asks me how to get into the media sector. I dont have definite answer to thequestion. I have seen in the newsroom, there are journalists who entered with sheer luck, some withreference of a big shot, and some with talent of their own.

It is surprising I have seen many collegemates and others who failed to get into the media despitehaving all the educational qualification, references, and skill.

There is no direct and easy path to join media houses.

However, here are some of the tips (or steps) that I have followed to get into the media. And I hopethese tips would help anyone who is interested to land a job in this sector.


18/27



GET A BACHELOR/MASTER DEGREE IN THE MASS COMMUNICATION ANDJOURNALISM.

One will find in the newsroom, many journalists in their prime age are without any formal degree in the journalism. At this age and time, however it is better to have a degree. At least the degree wouldacquaint you with the difference between Slander and Libel.

KEEP TRACK OF RECRUITMENT IN NEWS AGENCY You have got a degree; now keep track of the recruitment in news agencies like PTI, UNI, and ANI.

REGIONAL/LOCAL PRESSVisit and submit your resume in the local and regional media houses. This is the best platform for just-out-of-college graduates to hone their skill.

PRACTICE WRITINGNothing supersedes your talent than your writing skill. Practice, practice, and practice. Practice newswriting, practice to write human interest stories...

READ

As a journalist you should update your knowledge and awareness of everything under the sun. For this,the only mantra is to read extensively. Read newspapers, magazines, books on different topics to updateyourself.

DEVELOP KNACK FOR NEWSIn the newsroom, there are reporters who dont find news; opposite to it, there are reporters who have

abundant of stories in their draft. So, develop nose for news.

PUBLISHTry to publish your pieces. At the beginning it is very tough to publish your work, but if you try hard withgood sense of timing, you can hit the nail. Write on relevant topics.

MAINTAIN A BLOGCreate a blog and give it a shape that reflects your talent (that is your writing talent). This would not

only help you to show your writing skill but also your web savvyness since most of the media houseshave gone online.

START WITH PRINT MEDIATry to work first in the print media. Since, I believe only print media can nourish you to become a good

journalist. This is the piece of advice given by my senior which I didnt follow.


19/27



WORK FREEIf all your efforts still fail to get into the media houses, give an offer to the Editor to work for free.Though I didnt work free, I had friends who work ed free in their early career but now they are intomedia doing their job well.


Bishnupriyas seek central support forwelfare

Post Bureau, Guwahati (July 22): The Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Yuva Parishad (NBMYP) has urged the

Centre to take steps to ameliorate the living conditions of the Bishnupriyas. The annual general meetingof NBMYP held here on Sunday noted with concern that the community was still lagging behind due tolack of appropriate facilities from the government.

We are always neglected from every aspect of life. We are deprived of governments welfare schemesas we are yet to be listed under the OBC category by the central government. So we urge the centralgovernment to take appropriate steps in this regard, said Sha nkha Sinha, NBMYP general secretary.

He also demanded that Dispur increase the number of seats in the Bishnupriya Manipuri DevelopmentCouncil. We want the number of members be increased to 25, from the present 12, so that more focuscan be given on the d evelopmental works, he added.

The NBMYP said measures should be taken to develop language and culture of the community in thestate. We are a part of this state and, if every tribe and community has the right to move ahead, we toohave that right. We urge the government to regularise Bishnupriya Manipur language teachers in 152schools across the state and provide them regular salaries, said NBMYP publicity secretary PradeepSinha.

The NBMYP regretted that Doordarshan and All India Radio did not broadcast programmes inBishnupriya. Being a government broadcast medium, it is their duty and responsibility to broadcast ourprogrammes like others. We urge the Union information and broadcasting ministry to have a look in this

regard, he added.

He said that the Bishn upriya Manipuris' is a virgin market that, if tapped in the right way, can pay a

huge dividend. Adding to it, one thing that he mentioned is very much futuristic, especially at this time equalizing Bishnupriya Manipuri newspapers or magazines as products. So, whoever ventures intofilling up the vacuum has to tread the road with care, with the product concept in mind and soul.

Equating Market with Bishnupriya Manipuri, today one can take it as a joke. But, who knows, thesetwo stuff could become one; consequently creating a self-sustaining platform for the betterment of theBishnupriya Manipuri people.

However, media history teaches us that establishment of such products has not been easy ever,especially when the market is limited. But it has not been impossible either. The sore truth about thepresent state of Bishnupriya Manipuri media ventures is not secret to anybody. Everybody knows it.

There is time and money constraint whoever is devoted to it. And those who are running it are runningfor the sake of creative and intellectual juice which they get.

At the present era, when communication is real time and there is no technological and geographicallimitation, something that astounds us is the fact that a community of 5 lakh cannot, yes cannot create,one media house; it is irony that a population of 1 lakh is enough to grow and sustain a media venture.


23/27



Besides it, I believe there is an urgent need for introspecting being Bishnupriya Manipuri since as of now the word itself channelize many d os and donts, and it is very much stereotype; the magazine ornewspapers has to create content not only for 1 per cent of literati but for the rest that is 99 per cent. Itshould be a product, a perfect product.

Taking cue from Ramlal Sinhas article, ca n Bishnupriya Manipuri Online become a product? It cannot besaid in one breathe. There is hell lot of problems. It is very remorseful that other community-based webentities of Northeast that forayed in the same period like this one have made a strong footing. Be latethan never, at least, Bishnupriya Manipuri Online could give it a try to become a web behemoth of itsown right. To say a little, since 2007, the Bishnupriya Manipuri Online has been taking the brunt of Googles tyranny, not a matter of jok e.

So, what should be the next step? Increase pageviews from 11,000 per month (the present figure, onecan see in the left sidebar) to per day by January 2013. This figure has to be achieved, after that,hopefully, we could talk about the next milestone.

India in 80sRK Rishikesh Sinha

India of 80s was probably the last peaceful India where people led a simple and sober lifestyle awayfrom the rat-race of today. Your neighborhood was truly yours. Your nearby bazaar or shop was theextension of your life. The area in which you live was your extended family. That was the character of the time life seemed to be so beautiful in its true meaning. People were happy in small things.

And those who began exploring the world in the 80s of India definitely miss the time since India neverremained the same. What are the characteristics and symbols of India in 80s through which peoplerelate to that period?

DOORDARSHAN DAYS

Having a black and white Weston or Tesla television set was a luxury. That was the time in which apasserby could enter anyones house to watch serials like Ramayana and Mahabh arata. Chitrahaar, an8.30 pm entertainment programme, was the one and only entertainment dose which seemed to berationed to the mass (leaving the Sunday reserved for an oldie-goldie film).

Another aspect of that period; children feared death of a national leader since Doordarshan goes to thestate of mourning. A house with a television set was easy to detect since the house had antenna.

FEISTY SUNDAY Sunday was full of fun and frolic. It was the day to catch entertainment programmes in a nearby houseand play to the fullest with your neighbourhood friends. Sunday was not less entertaining than anyfestival. Children spent rest of the week talking about their activities with their friends.

KEROSENE STOVEIt was very common to find kerosene stoves in homes. It was the same period when kerosene stoves

were being replaced by LPG Gas connection.

THE RICHEST HAD CAR AND TELEPHONEIt was easy to recognize richest persons; they had Maruti car and telephone connections. Less richperson had Chetak Bajaj scooter or Rajdut motorcycle. To possess a telephone was the hallmark of power. The telephone was neatly covered and used to occupy a special place in a house.

MITHUNAMA

Still the impact of Mithun Chakraborty in the 80s could be gauged today. Movies like Gangs of Wasseypur starred by Manoj Bajpayee carry the time and impression that Mithun had in that period. Hewas a hero and icon to imitate. It was the Disco period led by Mithun Chakraborty. The same periodbrought heartthrob Madhuri Dixit with her song ek, do, tee n, char.

GADGETS

Sony's Walkman

Besides television set, it was the period of VCDs, VCRs, PHILIPS taperecoder, radio, and camera. Therewere video parlours that stocked movies in ones locality. There was another gadget for music lovers Sonys Walkman.

PERIOD OF RE-DISCOVERY It seems awkward today that movies like Sholay (released in 1975) and Bruce Lees Enter the Dragon(1971) were a topic of discussion on entertainment. Praise the technology that rediscovered the oldstuff and brought it to homes.

NO-MONEY TALK Discussion on money never entered into camaraderie. People abstain talking about money matters. Aperson was not judged with his bank balance but with his character.


27/27


NIL SECURITY It was the last decade where people enjoyed true freedom of movement. Civilian localites without anytype of questioning enter nearby defence establishments. They were seen watching even late nightmovies in the cinema halls that were under defence area. Today it is impossible. There is a fear

environment with gun-trotting soldiers in the gates everywhere across the country.
