‘To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong’ by Joseph Chilton Pearce. Yes, I agree with this statement. Imagine if right brother, have not taken ahead with their thoughts, we would not have the luxury of feeling of flying like birds. It is creativity which makes anyone to be outstanding. Every person is gifted by one or the other creativity. Many times I have questions in my mind how some are more creative and some are less? On which factors these creativities depends upon? Many scientists done research on brain and tried to find out about its functions. They came to know that it is right brain which is responsible for the enormous creativity of human beings.
Most of our schooling starts with creativity and unfortunately ends formally. Many times I used to think why in school we cannot make things more creative. After a long time I enjoyed a creative class by Mr. Badari. The whole session was to trigger our creativity. It included many activities like writing pictures, building stories and logical questioning session. Each activity was unknowingly made everybody to involve themselves 100%! Personally I felt very happy with the session and wish to have such sessions again and again. Defiantly the effect of class will reflect in my other activities.

First Aid
First aid is a primary care or treatment given by the layman during emergency to the victim. This treatment plays an important role , many a time life saving for the victim till attended by the doctor.Life is so uncertain, nobody can predict what can happen in the next moment.So first aid plays an important role in case like accidents,when the victim may surrounded by all together strangers or relatives who are shocked to do anything by the incidents. A simple knowledge can hold the breath of the victim and save their life till doctor comes or can save the further damage of the accidents.
This realization made me to study more about FIRST AID.I decided to give training on first aid to auto drivers in Hubli.Auto drivers are busy whole day and we can not ask then to come together to one place and have session on this. So I used the strategy of just standing and talking to them with a bunch of question which made them to tell what they know about such situations. This also made them to feel that they know many things.The whole session went like a quiz type , whenever anyone answered properly we offered them a taffy. the whole session was interesting , whenever they expressed the lack of knowledge or half answer I added to that.For this policemen support was taken which gave an added weight to the session.This type of session was conducted by us both in railway station and also in bus stand.
Let all of us learn about FIRST AID and save the precious life by just using our little knowledge and common sense.

Overview of health module
26/03/09
Golden Frankly
In the introduction part we learnt about the definition of health, changing concept of primary health, National health policy, NRHM, role of NGOs in developing the health status of the country.
This module gives us an idea about how the health status of India improved from post independence to present days.
We learnt the various efforts and achievements of Indian government in health sector. After independence in the year 1948, India becomes the member of WHO. In the year 1983 India Has passed her first National health policy. The objectives of these policies are “Acceptable standard of good health among the general public/population”. National rural health management is a strategy which addresses the issues related to the health improvement of quality life. Apart from such efforts health indicators of India like, Infant mortality rate (IMR), maternal mortality rate (MMR), availability of portable water and anemia is still persisting in large numbers.
Global scenario of HIV
27/03/09
Dr. Bharathraj. P. Yalagi
Doctor explained us about the origin of HIV, who named it, main causes of increase in number of HIV patients in India and world. Other things like Clinical findings, antiviral drugs and importance of counseling in treatment.
This module describes about the journey of HIV virus in human life. And what is the global and India’s status at present.
In los Angeles doctors could observe that consumption of Pentamedine in gay community is increasing notably in 1978.Reaserch shows that it is a condition where person suffers from loss of immune system, later named as HIV/AIDS in 1986.Clinical findings shows that; weight loss, oral Candida, herpes, lymph node enlargement, TB, psoriasis are most commonly seen as symptoms. In the treatment part of HIV, one should give importance for the opportunistic diseases immediately.
Reproductive and child health in India (RCH)
28/03/09
Mrs. Sujatha
We learnt about the definition of reproductive health, RCH packages, a project comes under NRHM, new strategies of RCH phase II.
This module tells us about the different projects implemented for the welfare of the families, the struggle to overcome the number of IMR and MMR in India.
Reproductive health is an ability to reproduce, regulate fertility, safe pregnancy and delivery of baby and after delivery there should not be any fear between the couples in the sexual relationship. RCH package for mother contains; registration of pregnancy before two months, two tetanus injections, iron and folic acid tablets, three times check up by ANM. New strategies of RCH phase II,
• Empower the action group
• Training of Dais
• RCH camp
• Kangaroo mother care
• Integrated management
Accountability of health sector in India
28/03/09
Dr. Chetan Jayade
We learnt about the key progress of any nation, its hierarchy, Health policy adopted in India, present status of urban health care, common errors made by a medical practioner and role at the individual and community level.
This module tells us about how policy in India leading to the corruption in the medical practioner in turn lead to the unhealthy compition in health professionals.
Key to progress of any country requires,
• Quality of life
• Development in education
• Accessibility for healthcare system
• Research and development in technology
In the present status urban health has become worse, because of unhealthy relationship between pharmacist and scan centers, specialists and junior doctors, least counseling, absence of implementation of updated technology and infrastructure and collection of unnecessary charges from patients. Some of the most common medical mistakes are,
• Leftover during surgery
• Wrong surgery
• Unnecessary tests
• Cosmic goof ups
• Not enough anesthesia
• Delayed treatment
• Unnecessary drugs
• Secondary infections
• Drug dependency
• Bad handwriting of the doctor
Thus accountability is a serious concern in all levels of health care, from education of doctors to the policy adopted. There is an urgent need of health care revolution.
Key points
It is very important to take action in checking the spread of HIV, which is life threatening and lead to the increase in the unhealthy society. Government policies should be implemented effectively.
For country like India the cultural barriers which affects in the implementation of government projects, the health workers should learn to manage effectively.
Learning
I. I came to know about many government projects in India and why it is failed.
II. I wish to have an information center where people can know about the health facilities provided by the government.
III. It will help the poor to reach the facilities and also help the government to reach the people.

Description
Mr.Raghavendra N Tikot is the founder of Vidya Poshak. The idea started in the year 2001,it is the first NGO working for the college students. In the developing economy we can see that there is a growing demand for the higher education which leads to the increase in the number of institutions. Maintaining the quality of education is a great challenge for these institutions.

• 78%------->Other courses
In the year 2004 5% of these graduates got employment, 20% joined to their family business, 5% joined to PG courses & the other 70% is not in the account. These loopholes of the education system give birth to the Vidya Poshak. It takes students studied in vernacular language & economically poor background, gives training to face the interview to get jobs. After negotiating with the companies & colleges Vidya Poshak arranged a campus interview in the year 2004, in which 22%of trained students got job. In 2008 140industries visited north Karnataka. They also made an arrangement for the students to get training in industries during the last 6 months of their course. Vidya Poshak made a benchmark, when 25 universities adopted this system. This is how the projects are made sustainable by Vidya Poshak.
Key points
• Addressing the youth in India.
• New hope to the students.
• Remarkable change in the education system.

• Role of gender in society
• Impact of gender
• Where do we learn gender?
• Normative of gender
• Effect of gender on female
• How to avoid gender bias
• Status of women in different countries
Module description
Miss. Shahina
Here we discussed about the differentiation between words like, gender, sex, equity, equality etc,. A small questionnaire helped us for clarification. We learnt how gender enters in routine life of everybody. Practice of the usage of gender has become so normal that a conscious and sincere effort is required to avoid it.
Module gives us an idea that how gender had became a burning issue, though it was made by human, only for the identification of role of different sex in the society.
*Gender refers to the array of socially constructed roles and relationships, personality traits, attitudes, behaviors, values, relative power and influence that society ascribes to the sexes on a differential biases. Whereas sex refers to the biological characteristics which define human as male or female.

• Behavior
• Thoughts
• Dreams/Ambitions
Many times gender determines our oppression level, choices, access, control and resources. Many normative like chairman, mankind, and”men at work” show how these words are used from years in the favor of one sex. The subconscious feed of this can be overcome by seeing everything by waring the gender lens like,
• To see what is otherwise not visible
• To not to fix the gender binary
• To determine the discrimination
• To acknowledge oppression
• To be able to take action against it.
Key points
Here we can see how the power given to one gender leading to the oppression of the other. Examples like, rape of dalit women, female infanticide, deaths due to dowry, domestic violence, sexual harassment in working area, honor killing etc,. We can see such issues more in Muslim countries. Domestic violence is seen in the developed countries like US and Sweden.
Learning
I. After understanding the global scenario of female in society, made me to think more about how I can contribute to solve this problem.
II. I wish to encourage female employees to my organization.
III. Wish to give some special facilities for female employees.
IV. Wish to raise my voice whenever I see the oppression.

Many normative like chairman, mankind, and”men at work” show how these words are used from years in the favor of one sex. The subconscious feed of this can be overcome by seeing everything by waring the gender lens like,
• To see what is otherwise not visible
• To not to fix the gender binary
• To determine the discrimination
• To acknowledge oppression
• To be able to take action against it.
