दिल्ली, 23 जून। ‘समाजवादी चिंतक रघु ठाकुर भारत के एकमात्र राजनेता हैं जो सामयिक मुद्दों पर लगातार लिख रहे हैं। वे अकेले व्यक्ति हैं जो साहस के साथ सत्ता की आलोचना करते हैं।उनके लेखों में अध्ययन, अनुभव और विचार की गहराई है और उनकी लिखी पुस्तकें स्थायी महत्व की हैं। हमें रघु ठाकुर जी का मजबूती से साथ देना चाहिए।’

इंदिरा गाँधी राष्ट्रीय कला केन्द्र के अध्यक्ष व वरिष्ठ पत्रकार रामबहादुर राय ने यह विचार आज दिल्ली के कांस्टीट्यूशन क्लब में रघु ठाकुर की दो पुस्तक ‘ समस्या और समाधान ‘ व‌ ‘ आमजन और राजनीतिक ‘ के विमोचन समारोह के अवसर पर व्यक्त किये।

विमोचन समारोह में उत्तरप्रदेश विधानसभा के पूर्व अध्यक्ष हृदयनारायण दीक्षित, हरिजन सेवक संघ के उपाध्यक्ष लक्ष्मी दास, राज्यसभा के सदस्य संजय सिंह, राजनाथ शर्मा ( बाराबंकी)  उपस्थित थे । अध्यक्षता रघु ठाकुर ने की।

विभिन्न समाचारपत्रों में प्रकाशित रघु ठाकुर के चयनित लेखों पर आधारित

‘ समस्या और समाधान’ व ‘ आमजन और राजनीति ‘ पुस्तक का पुरोकथन रामबहादुर राय ने लिखा है और सम्पादन डाक्टर शिवा श्रीवास्तव ने किया है।

प्रकाशन दिल्ली स्थित प्रकाशन संस्थान वी एल मीडिया सॉल्यूशंस ने किया है।

रामबहादुर राय ने कहा कि रघु ठाकुर के लेखों का गहराई से अध्ययन के बाद वे देश में दो बातों की विशेष जरूरत अनुभव करते हैं। पहली तो यह कि गांवों को जिला प्रशासन के चंगुल से निकाला जाये। दूसरा यह कि जनप्रतिनिधियों के नैतिक चरित्र की वापसी के लिए सांसद निधि समाप्त की जाये।

अध्यक्षीय उद्बोधन में रघु ठाकुर ने कहा कि हिन्दुस्तानी संसद के चरित्र को बदलने के लिए जरूरी है कि संसद गरीब के साथ एकाकार हो । जो सांसद निधि आमदनी का जरिया बन गयी है उसकी समाप्ति की जरूरत है।भारतीय लोकतंत्र की रक्षा के लिए कई स्तरों पर प्रयास की जरूरत है। पहला तो यही कि हमें हर गलत काम के लिए ‘ न ‘ कहना सीखना होगा। देश में हर प्रकार की कट्टरता समाप्त कर संवाद का वातावरण बनाने के साथ इस तरह के चुनाव- सुधार की जरूरत है कि गरीब आदमी भी चुनाव लड़ सके और वह अमीरों के कहे मुताबिक किसी कागज पर दस्तखत के लिए मजबूर न हो। राजनीतिक दलों में आंतरिक लोकतंत्र की जरूरत है। समाज में नैतिकता रहेगी तभी संवेदनशीलता बढ़ेगी। उन्होंने कहा कि मतभिन्नता लोकतंत्र में होती है पर लोकतंत्र का असली मर्म है मतभिन्नता में संवाद। आज समाजवाद के लिए यह जरूरी हे।

राज्यसभा सदस्य संजय सिंह ने कहा कि एक स्वस्थ लोकतंत्र में परस्पर असमहमति के बात भी चर्चा चलती रहती है। देश में पूंजीवाद को समाप्त करने के लिए कुटीर उद्योगों को प्रोत्साहित करने की जरूरत बताते हुए उन्होंने कहा  कि महात्मा गॉंधी का रास्ता ही खुशहाली का रास्ता है।

उत्तर प्रदेश विधानसभा के पूर्व अध्यक्ष हृदयनारायण दीक्षित ने कहा कि रघु ठाकुर के लेखों को पढ़ने के बाद हमें यह बात समझ में आती है कि हमें अतीतजीवी अस्मिताओं को समाप्त कर राष्ट्रीय भारतीय अस्मिता कायम करने की जरूरत है जिसे जर्मन विद्वान मैक्समूलर ने अपनी रचना ‘ भारत से हम क्या सीख सकते हैं ‘ भारत की विशेषता कहा है।

हरिजन सेवक संघ के उपाध्यक्ष लक्ष्मी दास ने कहा कि महात्मा गाँधी के आदर्शों के प्रति आस्थावान रघु ठाकुर जैसे लेखकों का अब अकाल होता जा रहा है।

पुस्तक विमोचन समारोह में कांस्टीट्यूशन क्लब में उमड़े श्रोताओं व खचाखच भरे सभागार को देखकर उत्तरप्रदेश विधानसभा के अध्यक्ष हृदयनारायण दीक्षित ने कहा कि उन्होंने पुस्तक- विमोचन के अनेक आयोजन देखे हैं पर इतनी बड़ी संख्या में श्रोता कभी नहीं देखे।

कार्यक्रम का संचालन नित्यानंद तिवारी ने किया।

Singer-Banker-Philanthropist Amruta Fadnavis Inaugurates UPSPACES Thane India’s First Inclusive Interior Design Solutions Specialist Hub...

Have you ever noticed that people come in different sizes while the furniture size remains the same? A small manager sits on a large chair while his large assistant sits on an uncomfortably small one. Or that your grandmother is just unable to climb a stair or get up from her easy chair! 

Upspaces, India’s first-of-its-kind innovative and inclusive interior design solutions hub challenges this design standard and comes with the belief that everyone is equal and deserves the same support, comfort and feature when it comes to designs. It is imperative to build a system that offers end-to-end innovative and unique one-of-a-kinddesign solutions that are environment-friendly and convenient at the same time. They also offer equal opportunities to those with vision and hearing impairment, are in wheelchairs plus balancing both emotional and functional scenes to help build a system that will only grow more and more inclusive with time.

Singer-Banker-Philanthropist Amruta Fadnavis launched the country’s first-of-its-kind inclusive design solutions Store, Upspaces at Korum Mall, Thane.

Says Vinod Mane, Founder, Upspaces, “It is our honour to have Mrs Amruta Fadnavis to launch Upspaces. She is the epitome of inclusivity and we are honoured and privileged.” 

Adds he, “at Upspaces, we offer our clients choice, comfort and control through ‘use’ testing, wherein we  make our clients feel considered and cared for, offering them options and allowing them to experience the complete interior solution, thereby eliminating anxieties and  integrating them into the decision-making process.  This enables them to be better educated about the functions and allows them to feel that they are getting what they need, personally and professionally. Inclusivity, to us, begins at customer level, where we visit the space, listen to the needs, offer options and come back with personalized solutions. The place you live in reflects your persona, and our designs and solutions strive to mirror the same. Our clients and our experience shows that inclusive designs can transform sedentary sections into active, healthy, collaborative and productive environs.”  

Avers Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis, “Disability affects more than 1 billion people worldwide, yet the society tends to be myopic when it comes to being inclusive. It gives me great pride to inaugurate Upspaces, that offers the same opportunity to everyone to participate and perform to the best of their abilities and desires, thanks to their inclusive policy. This speaks for the vision of the founders who believe in humanitarian and meaningful participation. With a bold vision and commitment towards quality environs, whether it be home, workplace or work-from-home space designs. I would urge each entrepreneur today to broaden their horizons and be inclusive in their approach.”

Products created for the common man cannot happen with just one ideal user in mind. The hypothetical end-user tends to resemble its creator to a great extent and misses out on real-life people who actually are the end-users of our product, which is when inclusivity comes into play. More so because our individual experiences vary and ‘normal’ or ‘average’ end-users is a misconception. Upspaces is a unique end-to-end  interior design experience that begins with the creators walking into your home, workspace or work-from-home, retail or commercial space, as the case may be, and come up with an inclusive design that provides a variety of options to experience the product than a one-size-fits-all route. This approach suits individual needs of the end-user.

Adds Vinod Mane,”Inclusivity and accessibility are the key words, and these result in improved overall usability of our designs. This approach has helped us to not just include the specially abled, whether it be the wheelchair-bound or the visually impaired, but helps us come up with ergonomic designs.” 

Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis has the last word.  

“Inclusivity is the key. Alone, we can do so little. But when we become inclusive, we walk through this world together, rising above the narrow confines of our individual concerns. Remember, a lot of different flowers always make a fragrant bouquet and each makes space for the other.” Touché!
