'Mata Sahib Kaur Ji woman Conference' By DSGMC at Gurdwara Rakabganj Sahib on 29th September 2016

सिख कौम की आधी आबादी ‘‘महिलाओं’’ को दिल्ली सिख गुरुद्वारा प्रबंधक कमेटी द्वारा राजनीतिक, धार्मिक एवं सामाजिक क्षेत्र में बराबरी का मौका प्रदान करने के लिए बीते 3.5 वर्ष से जारी मुहिम को प्रचंड करने की कमेटी ने तैयारी कर ली है। कमेटी अध्यक्ष मनजीत सिंह जी.के. के नेतृत्व में कमेटी एवं शिरोमणी अकाली दल के पदाधिकारियों की आज हुई बैठक में 29 सितम्बर 2016 को ‘‘माता साहिब कौर जी स्त्री सम्मेलन’’ करवाने का ऐलान किया गया। गुरुद्वारा रकाबगंज साहिब के कांफ्रैंस हाॅल में हुई बैठक में उक्त सम्मेलन श्री गुरू गोबिन्द सिंह जी के 350वें प्रकाश पर्व को समर्पित होने की जी.के. ने जानकारी दी। 
इस सम्मेलन के दौरान लगभग 35 मिन्ट का समय जी.के. द्वारा महिलाओं के सवालों के जवाब देने के लिए सुरक्षित रखा गया है। जी.के. ने कहा कि मौजूदा कमेटी ने महिलाओं को सम्मान देने के लिए बड़े प्रयास किये हैं। जिसमें गुरू माताओं-गुरू पत्नियों की याद में पहली बार कीर्तन समागम तथा सैमीनार के तौर पर कार्यक्रम करवाना, स्त्री सत्संग जत्थों के बीच कीर्तन मुकाबले तथा इतिहासिक गुरुद्वारों में बड़े स्तर पर स्त्री सत्संग जत्थों को कीर्तन की हाजरी भरने की मन्जूरी देना शामिल है।

 जी.के. ने कहा कि जहां हमने स्त्रियों को धार्मिक तथा सामाजिक क्षेत्र में बराबरता का एहसास करवाया है वहीं सिख लड़कीयों को शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में पहल के आधार पर खालसा काॅलेजों में दाखिला देते समय कॅट-आॅफ में विशेष छूट देकर लड़कों से अधिक मौके देने की कोशिश की है ताकि लड़कीयां अपने पैरों पर खड़े होकर आत्मनिर्भर बन सके। जी.के. ने स्वीकार किया कि आज तक स्त्री सम्मेलनों के नाम पर वक्ता अपनी मीठी बातें करके चुपचाप निकल जाते थे पर पहली बार कमेटी के मुख्य सेवादार होने के नाते वह स्वयं महिलाओं के हर सवाल का बेझिझक जवाब देने के लिए तैयार हैं। बेशक वह सवाल कौम से संबंधित हो या समाज से। 

जी.के. ने ईशारा किया कि बीते 3.5 साल के दौरान कमेटी द्वारा किये गये कार्यो के बारे मंे जवाब देने से वह किनारा नहीं करेंगे। जी.के. ने दल के पदाधिकारियों को जनसम्पर्क की ताकत को समझने की नसीहत देते हुए कमेटी द्वारा किये गये कार्यो को संगतों तक पहुँचाने के लिए मैदान में उतरने का भी आवाह्न किया। जी.के. ने सम्मेलन से पूर्व महिलाओं की पश्चिम व दक्षिण जोन की हुई प्रभावशाली बैठकों का हवाला देते हुए कमेटी सदस्यों को पूर्व तथा उत्तर जोन की बैठक को बड़े स्तर पर कामयाब बनाने की हिदायत दी। जी.के. ने इस अवसर पर कई जवलन्त मसलों पर कमेटी की सोच को भी सामने रखा। 

दल के प्रदेश प्रधान महासचिव हरमीत सिंह कालका ने आये हुए सभी नेताओं का धन्यवाद करते हुए दिल्ली कमेटी चुनाव से पूर्व अपनी जिम्मेदारीयां पार्टी कार्यालय पहुंचकर उचित स्थान पर लगवाने की कार्यकर्ताओं को अपील की। धर्मप्रचार कमेटी चेयरमैन परमजीत सिंह राणा ने सम्मेलन की जरूरत पर प्रकाश डाला। 

इस अवसर पर वरिष्ठ अकाली नेता ओंकार सिंह थापर, दिल्ली कमेटी के वरिष्ठ उपाध्यक्ष महिन्दर पाल सिंह चड्डा, उपाध्यक्ष सतपाल सिंह, कमेटी सदस्य कुलमोहन सिंह, तनवंत सिंह, कुलवंत सिंह बाठ, गुरविन्दर पाल सिंह, परमजीत सिंह चंढोक, गुरदेव सिंह धनोआ, कैप्टन इन्द्रप्रीत सिंह, दर्शन सिंह, समरदीप सिंह सन्नी, हरजिन्दर सिंह, जीत सिंह, धीरज कौर, अकाली नेता विक्रम सिंह, गुरमीत सिंह फैडरेशन, त्रिलोचन सिंह ढिल्लो, हरजीत सिंह बेदी, रणजीत कौर, नरिन्दर कौर, अमरजीत कौर पिंकी, तरविन्दर कौर खालसा, गिन्नी कौर वालिया, हरदीप कौर, सिमरत सिंह तथा राजा हरविन्दरजीत सिंह मौजूद थे।

Harmeet Singh Kalka organized a workshop on “IMPLEMENTATION OF SINGAPORE’S ELEMENTARY MATHS PEDAGOGY IN CBSE AND ICSE CURRICULUM” by Dr. Kevin Mahoney, first American to earn a doctorate focused on the study of Singapore’s Elementary math curriculum. The workshop was organized in collaboration with E3 Edusolutions WOW Maths at GHPS Punjabi Bagh on 3rdSeptember’2016 and was attended by teachers of all branches of GHPS and other private schools across Delhi.

It was a very informative and enriching experience. Around 100+ teachers attended the workshop and reported it to be very interesting and interactive. The innovative ideas and tools were introduced by the International Resource Person – Dr. Kevin Mahoney on the concept of   “learn by doing” and understanding the reason and justification of making students understand the various concept of Maths.


S. Harmeet Singh Kalka, Chairman School Education seeing to the increasing Phobia of Mathematics in children decided to upgrade and motivate teachers to use playway method to teach Mathematics as he realized that each child’s way of learning is so diverse that a standard style of teaching followed by teachers using text books doesn’t suffice. 

The Workshop highlighted this gap in teaching-learning process by adopting experiential learning in everyday classroom practice using Singapore Math Pedagogy. Further emphasizing  the specification mentioned by NCERT,  the teachers were trained regarding Modeling situations using quantities, shapes and forms as the best use of Mathematics with due reasoning and proofs that can help in reducing the Maths phobia from the children’s mind.

All teachers were given skilful training activities to understand Maths concept using various problem solving techniques. Teachers were also awarded with certificates after the session.

Dr. Maninder Kaur Dean attached to Education Cell thanked Col Jasbir Singh Nirmal, Director School Education and Ms. TPK Gujral, Principal, GHPS, Punjabi Bagh for giving such a platform for organizing this workshop and look forward to such interactions in future as well. She also highlighted that such an endeavor is to make classroom teaching more meaningful and holistic.

The delegation also told the minister that after 2007-08 the family income level for below poverty line candidates was not increased due to which a large number of candidates have become ineligible.

G.K. told Naqvi that land for institutions is a big problem and incase the Government of India relaxes norms it will be great help to the beneficiaries of learn and earn program. G.K. demanded that the government should give permission to open skill development courses in Gurdwaras and already running institutions. DSGMC president also took up the issue that government portal to fill forms online can’t take load of 84 lakh students so either the portal be upgraded or manual collection of forms be allowed.

G.K. advocated that to make Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheme of Minimum government, Maximum governance successful there was need to make policies public centric. He suggested to raise minimum annual income bracket to Rs. 2 lakh for pre matric scheme, for post matric scheme the minimum income bracket be increased to Rs. 3 lakh and for merit-cum-means scheme the income bracket be increased to Rs. 4 lakh.

Pak land of Guru Nanak, Not Hell :Atamjit Singh

Atamjit Singh : Eminent Punjabi Playwright and Director 
Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, was born in Nankana Sahib. Baba Farid, the first great poet of Punjabi language, was born in Multan. When so much in that land belongs to us, how it could be hell for me and other Punjabis like me?... Half of my creative and spiritual strength comes from that part of India which is now known as Pakistan. —Atamjit Singh

Joining issue with Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, eminent Punjabi playwright and director Atamjit Singh  said Pakistan could be hell for Parrikar or some people from Goa and Maharashtra, but for him “it is the land where his cultural and religious values are rooted deeply

Speaking to The Tribune, Atamjit Singh said: “My mother was born in Peshawar and father in Lahore. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, was born in Nankana Sahib. Baba Farid, the first great poet of my language, was born in Multan. When so much in that land belongs to us, how it could be hell for me and other Punjabis like me?”
He said: “There would not have been great literature in the absence of legendary poetical narrative of Heer Ranjha written by Waris Shah, who was born in Jandiala Sher Khan. Half of my creative and spiritual strength comes from that part of India which is now known as Pakistan.
“Some immortal songs of my language are sung by legendry singers such as Reshma, Nusrat Fateh Ali and Ghulam Ali who belong to the Punjab of the other side.”
On Parrikar’s statement, he said: “I will not mind you battering the ISI, the military junta and the politicians of Pakistan, who are sowing the seeds of hatred for their vested interests. I will gladly join you in doing so. But please have mercy on me and don’t call the whole land of my ancestors hell.”
“I wish our leaders to be sensitive in making such statements as millions of people might silently listen to their insensitive comments but can’t digest them so easily,” he said, supporting the stand taken by Ramya, a Karnataka-based actress and former Congress MP, with regard to Pakistan.
