33% REPRESENTATION IN THE LOK SABHA FOR WOMEN

33% REPRESENTATION IN THE LOK SABHA FOR WOMEN

Liberal democracy is founded on reason, law, and freedom of choice but the position of different social groups in the social and political space where power is located is not always equal in practice. This is particularly so in the case of women. the JMJP deems the inclusion of women in the lok sabha to be of extreme importance.  The limited nature of female participation and representation in national decisionmaking institutions has important consequences for women and for thelegitimacy of the institutions. Where women constitute almost half the population in apolitical system which supports equality and where both women and men arelegally eligible for political office, women’s participation should be promoted. Representation is not only a means of ensuring individual participation. It is alsothe responsibility of the representatives to act on behalf of the constituents,including women, who elected them and reflect their ideas and aspirations.the disproportionate presenceof women in the political process means thatthe concerns of half the population cannot be sufficiently attended to or acted upon as it denies their viewpoints sufficient opportunity to be integrated in thepolitical system.

the representation of women will not be limited just to the lok sabha but also to each and every level in our democracy, in all institutions beginning from the gram panchayats and zila parishads to state assemblies and the parliament.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Conserving a gradually degrading environment in an industrially developing countrywith a growing economy such as ours is a challenging task. however, keeping in mind the need to combat pollution levels and climate change, at the JMJP, we realize the imminent need to bring in environmentally sustainable growth. the JMJP’s environment department regularly monitorsthe implementation of existing laws and has helped form the JMJP environmental policy.

this policy recommends that every industry being set up in this country should have to undergo a COMPULSARY Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) which will be regulated by the ministry of environment and forests, govt. of India.a clearance from the MoEF should be required for setting up the industry.

no loud noise-making industry should be set up in areas of dense population.
all industries that emit a considerable amount of pollutants shall be encouraged to use pollution treatment mechanisms that the government should provide to them at a subsidized cost. failure to use such waste management and effluenttreatmentdevices even after a specific warning will result in the imposition of a monetary fine. a further offence could result in suspension of industrial licence.

TECHNOLOGY OUTREACH TO RURAL INDIA

TECHNOLOGY OUTREACH TO RURAL INDIA

while Indian technological outreach is global and ushers prosperity for a segment of the population, it also is crucial not to ignore the technology needs of the rural communities. the JMJP acknowledges the social reality that technology drivenprosperity should be shared equitably, and science and technology should be a drivingforce in the urban as well as the rural economy. the JMJP thus wishes to promote collaborative partnerships among diverse groups of stakeholders across the technology system from technology development to adoption. the JMJP aims at subsidizing the prices of technological items and providing them at a lower price to the rural parts of India, especially to the youth.

Basic internet facilities shall be provided at minimal costs to students in villages across the country in a conscious effort to raise online literacy levels in rural India.
