Bhopal, Dec 20:
Sahitya Academy, MP Sanskriti Parishad in co-ordination with Seva Bharti has organised for the first time a two-day training workshop for the women writers of Slums. Panchayat Raj Commissioner Mrs Veena Ghanekar inaugurated the workshop by lighting the traditional lamp.
Commending efforts of the Parishad Mrs Ghanekar said that the thinking of women living in Slums would help create a good family and society in future.
Sahitya Academy director Dr Devendra Deepak said that the writing done from air-conditioned bungalows and Coffee House about life in slums is far away from truth. Sahitya Academy is trying to reach the deprived of people.
Presiding over the inaugural session Mrs Jyotsna Milan said that this is the first time the participants got a chance to come out with their writings. This is an attempt to express their sensitive mind. Dr Vinay Rajaram said that the participants are interested in writing and they are alert about tradition and culture. Pratibha Gurjar hoped that the participants would continue their writing. Women Writers' Association chairman Rajashree Rawat said that the writings show that children would be cultured.
Academy had given four subjects to the participants - 'My Locality, My People'; 'My Mother'; 'My Ideal Woman'; and 'My Interest'. Those who expressed views through writings include Shivnanda Dihade and Rati Raghuvanshi from Amedkar Nagar; Kiran Sharma (Jatkhedi); Rani Nanhet (Subhash Nagar); Shobha Singh (Amravati); Nisha Sonwane (Baghsevania); Mrs Rekha Wadge (Durganagar); Manisha Tiwari (Bhanpur); Deepika Prajapati and Tina Dwivedi (Priyanka Nagar, Kolar); Radha Singh (Gautam Nagar); Rajni Prajapati (Jehangirabad); Arti Prajapati (Chhola); Premlata Prajapati (Bhim Nagar); Ranjita Koge (Valmiki Nagar) and others. In spite of difficulties faced in life the write ups expressed hope for the future. 35 participants read their creations before subject specialists.
Academy director Dr Devendra Deepak said it is true that you cannot create a litterateur. But it is also true that through training and encouragement writings can be improved.'
