Mumbai based “Vighnaharta Pratishthan” carried out distinctive programmes in form of workshops regarding the Self & Community Protection, on 26/11 to change the focus of the society from anger to Self Defense & Community Protection & building up positive Attitude while carrying out help & rescue. Police Trainer Shri. Anil Deshmukh guided the audience at various colleges on 26 /11 about the above said subject. He also demonstrated some weaponless self defense methods.
The response of the students at various places like at VK college at Panvel, Zunzunwala college at Ghatkopar, Chikitsak Highschool Jr. college at Girgaon was overwhelming. Over 4000 students attended these workshops. Principal Mhatre of V K college at Panvel, Principal Dr.mrs.Mukundan of Zunzunwala college at Ghatkopar (Mumbai) & Principal Mrs.Prabhu of Chikitsak Highschool, Girgaon & their respective staff members, were all full of appreciation of what “Vighnaharta Pratishthan” is doing. Dr.Mukundan traced the exact need of the society as she said,”There is no need to create panic & light up candles everywhere. Instead, the society has to be trained in Self & Community Defense. There should be volunteers with right & positive attitude who will carry out Help & rescue missions.” Mrs.Prabhu of Chikitsak Highschool also had expressed similar views.
Also, Vighnaharta Pratishthan had called for mass Blood Donation drives on 26/11. Citizens & various govt. & social organisations had held Blood Donation Camps at various places in Mumbai on 26/11 2009. Along with these progrrame, Vighnaharta Pratishthan had organised a mass Vande Mataram singing at Girgaon at 9.30 pm that night, which also had overwhelming participation by common Citizens. There were no speaches. The gathered crowd payed Homage to the 26/11 martyrs. Kirti College Vice Principal Dr.Hemant Pednekar, RSS State Jt. Secretary Ravindra Pawar, Industrialist Vasantrao Bedekar were present along with local Municipal Members at this occasion. The five of the local heroes who were first to respond to the attack by organising quick help & rescue teams at various concerned hospitals that night, were falicitated with a Rose at the hands of Dr.Pedanekar at this occasion, to bring there heroics before the society. Nilesh Ahirekar, Vinayak Mulye, Parag Veerkar, Raju Pushilkar, Ramkrishna & Gaurav Tendulkar were among them.
Vighnaharta Pratishthan recongnises & appreciates the Help & Rescue Efforts by hundreds of youngsters who sponteniously took the responsibility to defend the society in a unique way on that horrible night of 26/11 2008, while various governmental machineries other than Medical Dept. were slow in their response.
Blood Donation is the biggest donation in the world. As we all know, tragedy occurs every other day and we hear about blood shortages. We cannot let people die short of blood. Our blood can give life to someone, someday. Hence, it is our duty as an Indian to stand up to the situation. Netinfobase has thus started an effort where you can register yourself as an Blood Donor and be helpful to our nation in the testing times.

Dr Ron Paul served in U.S. House of Representatives three different periods: first from 1976 to 1977, after he won a special election, then from 1979 to 1985, and finally from 1997 to 2013.
During his first term as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Paul founded the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE), a non-profit think tank dedicated to promoting principles of limited government and free-market economics. In 1984, Paul became the first chairman of the Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), a conservative political group founded by Charles Koch and David Koch 'to fight for less government, lower taxes, and less regulation.' CSE started a Tea Party protest against high taxes in 2002. In 2004, Citizens for a Sound Economy split into two new organizations, with Citizens for a Sound Economy being renamed as FreedomWorks, and Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation becoming Americans for Prosperity. The two organizations would become key players in the Tea Party movement from 2009 onward.
Dr Paul proposed term-limit legislation multiple times, while himself serving a few terms in the House of Representatives. In 1984, he decided to retire from the House in order to run for the U.S. Senate, complaining in his House farewell address that 'Special interests have replaced the concern that the Founders had for general welfare.... It's difficult for one who loves true liberty and utterly detests the power of the state to come to Washington for a period of time and not leave a true cynic.'
He is known nationally and internationally as a pioneer figure in the study of culture and psychopathology who challenged the ethnocentrism and racial biases of many assumptions, theories, and practices in psychology and psychiatry.
In more recent years, he has been writing and lecturing on peace and social justice. He has published 15 edited books, and more than 250 articles, chapters, book reviews, and popular pieces.

I grew up in Chile, got my medical degree there, began an academic career in 1970, and left for the USA due to the military coup in early 1974. My first job in the USA was working as a public nutrition professor in the international programme of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.
I started to travel to Africa in 1975, and worked a year in Cameroun in 1980 helping to prepare their five-year nutrition plan. I then moved to New Orleans, to Tulane University’s School of Public Health, and taught in the department of nutrition for ten years, before moving to Nairobi where I was an advisor in the Ministry of Health. Seven years there got me into extensive consulting in Africa, often on nutritional issues. In 1995 moved to Vietnam where I worked for two and a half years in the Ministry of Health as a senior primary health care advisor.
Many years of touching the reality on the ground, in Latin America, then the USA, then Africa and Asia, has made me understand that the real challenge is in the social and political determinants of malnutrition. I have devoted my writings and teaching to that. Over the years, I have found an important shift in my colleagues’ attitude and understanding towards acknowledging the basic causes of malnutrition. But yet I see little happening as a result. I submit that it is our guild’s lack of experience in the political arena that explains this dichotomy. I devote much of my energy to bridge this gap, and am a fervent advocate of empowering claim holders to demand needed changes from duty bearers. Nutrition is a perfect port of entry for that. Equity, social justice and people’s empowerment in a human rights sense is what really will make a difference.
There is no alternative but to deal with nutrition problems as indivisibly linked to social, political and environmental problems. We need to address them as such. The question is: are we all prepared to do that? The answer, in my view, decides whether we are part of the solution or part of the problem. Travelling and living in different parts of the world has reinforced my conviction that we need to get down from our academic ivory towers, and need to change the curricula of our young and upcoming colleagues, to give them the tools to act in such a context. To me, public health nutrition cannot be anything but that.
