Goa Research Net was started by me and Fred Noronha in 1997 on the Goacom
server. It was moved to yahoo groups from September last year. In the
process of transfer we could not shift all old timers to the new server.  In
case any Goanetter wishes to rejoin or suggest some new members,  please
consult the following link and do the needful:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-research-net/

Goa Research Net is a «strictly moderated» group which provides ample space
for sharing, dissent and academic debate, but with zero tolerance for any
form of settling  personal scores. The forum has already a rich and varied
fund of human resources. We welcome new members who may wish to enrich it
further with their experiences and expertise, and benefit from the existing
ones.

[Goanet] Invitation to World Disabled Day Celebration

Dear Friends,

There are about 70 million disabled people in India, most of whom are confined 
to there home due to complete lack of infrastructure. Any attempt to travel, 
enter buildings, parks or shops can be impossible, unsafe and humiliating, not 
just for the person with mobility impairment but also for persons with visual 
and hearing impairment. They remain unseen, unheard and therefore unaccounted. 
Denial of access to disabled people results in their isolation from Society, 
leading to lack of education and employment. We strongly believe that if the 
infrastructure is made accessible and barrier free, a lot of other problems 
being faced by disabled people will be solved to a large extent. Inclusion of 
the disabled, about which much is being spoken, will be a reality in day to 
day living.

The Disability Act, 1995, a landmark legislation, which was enacted a decade 
ago, mandates accessible public areas, transport etc. It also provides for 
preferential allotment of land to disabled people. However even after ten 
years, most provision remains only on paper.

There has been some efforts in the post Disability Act period, but these 
efforts are patchy and unsystematic. Inaccessibility of educational 
institutions is leading to systematic denial of educational opportunities to 
people with disabilities. The involvement rate of disabled students in the 
universities was found to be 0.1% and in schools it was 0.5%. Due to physical 
and attitudinal barriers disabled students are being forced out of education 
system and the number of students with disability enrolling for admission sees 
a significant decrease over the years.

This is the Tenth year of the Disability Act. Talking of education, 
employment, rehabilitation will prove to be wasteful, unless we act in a 
serious manner. Our efforts to upload and defend the dignity and rights of the 
disabled will bear more fruit only if we all work together. It is high time 
for all of us to see that the Disability Act is implemented with greater 
earnestness.

The Theme for World Disabled Day which is on 3rd December, 2005 is Its time 
for Action  Tenth year of the Disability Act.

On this occasion the Goa Disability Network in collaboration with Department 
of Social Welfare has planned a celebration, to be held at the Municipal 
Gardens, opposite Church Square on 2nd December, 2005 at 3.30 pm. All are 
invited for the event. Come and show your solidarity with the Disabled.

In the news item posted by Eustaquio Santimano, it is said: Jaipal Reddy is 
also keen on more South Indian film personalities sharing the spotlight. 
According to officials, the state government has been asked to woo Tamil 
actor Rajnikant to light the inaugural lamp. Popular actresses from the 
Tamil and Telugu film industry too are being sought to participate in the 
film festival.


Does this not smack of using IFFI for purposes of electoral politics? When 
the BJP tried to do it, members on this list rightly spoke against it.  It 
is time that we all do the same now.


Perhaps Jaipal Reddy can be asked what he is trying to do to have Goan film 
personalities sharing the spotlight in functions outside of Goa.

Invitation to Amitabh Bachchan trashed
RAJU NAYAK Updated: Friday, November 11, 2005 at 1511 hours IST

PANAJI, NOVEMBER 10: The Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry has  
leaned on the Goa government to cancel the invitation extended to Amitabh  
Bachchan to inaugurate next month’s 36th International Film Festival of  
India (IFFI).


According to sources, Information Minister Jaipal Reddy snubbed Goa Chief  
Minister Pratapsinh Rane for inviting Bachchan to inaugurate the festival.


‘‘We were told not to project Amitabh Bachchan since he was a Samajwadi  
Party leader,’’ said a bureaucrat from Goa who attended the meeting with I  
 B officials in Delhi.


Goa government officials were also told that Congress party chief Sonia  
Gandhi would be displeased with the decision to invite Bachchan to  
inaugurate the film festival. The I  B Ministry then decided that Sanjay  
Dutt and Shahrukh Khan would be brought in for the inauguration.


Both Dutt and Khan are known to be close to Sonia Gandhi’s family. Goa’s  
Chief Minister Pratapsinh Rane is now faced with an embarassing situation  
since it was he who had personally persuaded Amitabh Bachchan to  
inaugurate the festival. Jaipal Reddy is also keen on more South Indian  
film personalities sharing the spotlight.


According to officials, the state government has been asked to woo Tamil  
actor Rajnikant to light the inaugural lamp.


Popular actresses from the Tamil and Telugu film industry too are being  
sought to participate in the film festival.

World wide conventions are pointless and do not help
in the future of Goa which is rotting. Coissro would
do best by telling his hindu bros that the events of

major problem for Goans.

Dear Reni Barreto, coordinator of World Goa Day
 
It was a great pleasure to welcome you and Maria to Casa de Goa and to have  
the opportunity to talk with you about the role we envisage for Casa de Goa in 
the  Portuguese society and our future plans. 
 
We were also very happy to realise that we have a common goal  - a Convention  
for the leaders of Goan associations all over the world to get together in 
order to share not only ideas and achievements, but also plans to involve 2nd 
and 3rd generation Goans in the effort to strengthen Goan identity and 
culture.  
 
We will be glad to pursue the matter further thought in the near future, but a 
possible date for the Convention, to be held in Lisbon, would be October next 
year. 
 
I can assure you that Casa de Goa will provide all its support, not only from 
the organisational point of view but also in the definition of the Convention 
programme.  
 
Kindest regards

[Goanet]Invitation to join the moviesgoa group (fwd)

2004-03-12 Thread Frederick Noronha (FN)
To join, send in a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-- Forwarded message --


Hello

[EMAIL PROTECTED] has invited to join the moviesgoa group
hosted by Yahoo! Groups, a free, easy-to-use community service.

By joining moviesgoa, you will be able to receive
email announcements, share photos and files, coordinate events and more.

NOTE: This is an announcement or newsletter group, so only the group
moderator may post messages.

This invitation will expire in 7 days.

Here's an introductory message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


Cinema makes us laugh, it makes us cry, it inspires and it thrills. Cinema 
gives us much more than that: it gives us the opportunity to like and 
dislike, to argue, to discuss and sometimes leaves us speechless.

If you enjoy cinema just for itself or if you are one of those who are 
hooked on films and loves to make new friends and discuss films for hours 
on end, then: consider joining Moving Images Film Club.

Starting with its first screening on the 19th of March 2004, Moving 
Images in collaboration with the International Centre, Goa at Dona Paula 
(also the venue of the screenings) will bring to you films and 
documentaries, popular and the classics, from India and across the globe. 
The screenings are open to all and there is no charge.

Moving Images with the support of the Goa International Centre will 
screen two films every month. Filmmakers and critics will be invited to 
talk about their or others’ films whenever possible. We also hope to put 
together workshops, retrospectives and film festivals too. In April we 
will have two documentary filmmakers from Mumbai presenting their 
documentaries to us.

If you are a student or professional in art, writing, advertising, social 
science, social work, publishing, journalism, architecture, home science, 
management etc., you will find that watching and talking cinema helps you 
broaden your perspective. But then cinema is also much fun for almost 
anybody else too.

Schedules and Movie Lists will be posted on this newsgroup, so please 
join in by accepting this invitation.

Signed:
Salil and Gayathri Konkar

INVITATION to VHAG Workshop on Rational Use of Drugs
-
WORKSHOP ON RATIONAL USE OF DRUGS
on Sunday 18th January 2004
9.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.
 HOTEL  THE  MAJESTIC, PORVORIM GOA
Organised by:
Voluntary Health Association of Goa (VHAG)
in collaboration with
Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA)
Goa State Branch.

Rational use of Drugs: “Means that the patient’s receive medications
appropriate to their clinical needs, in doses that meet their own
requirement, for an adequate period of time, and at lowest cost
for them and their community.”- W.H.O.
Unfortunately, irrational drugs and combinations, banned and
bannable drugs and combinations however continue to flourish
in India. We have around 5,000 drugs and combinations whereas
most essential drugs lists recommend no more than 350. Even
though most drugs and combinations may not be considered
rational they are heavily promoted, widely prescribed, and consumed,
bringing considerable monetary burden on the public as well as the
exchequer, and of course doing harm in terms of unnecessary
and toxic effects!
The W.H.O. had initiated efforts to promote rational drug use
in 1977 with the introduction of the concept of essential Drugs.
Subsequently, this list has been revised every few years 8 times.
The idea behind this concept is that a limited number of medicines
would lead to a better supply of medicines, better prescribing,
lower health care cost.
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Delhi have generated their own list of
essential drugs in line with this policy, and are drawing considerable
success.
The present workshop seeks to put before the participants irrational
drugs, irrational prescribing behaviours and cost and damage involved,
concept of Rational Use of Drugs, Rational Drug Policies, etc.
The workshop thus seeks to enlighten the participants, so that they
could explore, and then draw up an agenda for need and implementation
of a Rational Drug Policy for Goa.
THE FACULTY: The faculty for the workshop are two eminent
activists in the field of Rational Drug Promotion and Drug Policies
with long years of experience.
DR. VISHWAS RANE : is associated with the Rational Drug
Movement since 1972 and has also been involved in movements
for Rational Drug Policy, National Health Policy. He is the founder
member of All India Drug Action Network (AIDAN)
DR. MIRA SHIVA : has around 24 years of experience in drug related
activities. She has coordinated  initiated the low cost Drugs 
Rational Therapeutics Activities and issues related to Rational Drug
Use. She is the coordinator of AIDAN
Both Dr. Rane Dr. Shiva have authored the book Banned 
Bannable Drugs.
PARTICIPANTS: This interactive workshop seeks to invite a wide
range of participants, who could be, or could get to be interested
in a Rational Drug Use promotion programme.
The workshop is open to Doctors, Drug Policy and Decision makers,
Pharmacists, Nurses, and interested activists, NGO’s, Lawyers,
Consumer groups, and Media persons.
The workshop is limited to 80 participants on a first come first
served basis.Those interested to take part in the workshop may
