We Need to Breathe! *Fr Cedric Prakash SJ It was a scene which will forever be etched in the memory of millions the world over: on May 25, 2020, on a street in Minneapolis, US- a white police officer Derek Chauvin, had his knee pressed down on the neck of a black American George Floyd. This continued for more than nine minutes. An excruciating bystander

video (which immediately went viral the world over)shows Floyd gasping and repeatedly begging, “I can’t breathe” and onlookers yelling at Chauvin to stop; the officer did not relent till Floyd slowly went silent and limp. The widely watched footage sparked worldwide protests: of anger, anguish, and agony. People from all walks of life came out (including some Indian celebrities), social media went berserk; there was just one spontaneous, unanimous, and loud cry, “get off our necks, we want to breath!”. On 20 April this year, Chauvin was found guilty of murder (and is likely to face a long prison sentence) in a verdict which brought a sigh of relief to many!

The ‘George Floyd’ tragedy is painfully unfolding in India today.

Not one George, but millions of Indians, who today are deep in anguish, gripped in agony and seething with anger. Most of them are ordinary citizens – many of them from poor and vulnerable sections of society. They are crying about a system that has completely broken down: of those who are affected by the pandemic: thousands are dying,

84 Veez Konkani

many in major cities throughout the country have no access to a hospital bed, oxygen, or a ventilator; necessary medication, oximetres and even vaccines are scarce.

Ambulances are not available; there are heart-rending scenes of serpentine queues outside crematoria of those waiting to cremate their loved ones; burial grounds are becoming ‘houseful’.

Private hospitals charge exorbitant amounts – corruption(thanks to a heartless regime) is mainstreamed: be it in the selling of essential medicines in the black-market or in the manufacture of fake imitation drugs. The Public Health System has just collapsed : doctors, nurses, hospital support staff and other caregivers who have been working round the clock and are simply exhausted. The Government has failed on all fronts; it has not only proved to the world that it cannot govern, but it has also conveniently abdicated their responsibility. It has never been so bad. The cry of the people of India today is, “get off our

necks, we need to breathe!”

For the last few days, an online petition on ‘change.org’ has been

going viral, with an all-time high popularity rating. It demands the immediate resignation of the Prime Minister. The originator of the petition Mrunal Mathuria, a concerned citizen, says “the second

wave of the Covid-19 pandemic caught India totally off-guard. As I write this, many are losing their lives, countless are struggling for beds in hospitals, myriads struggling for oxygen and there are untold stories of the deceased not finding a place in the crematoria.

The collapsed healthcare system of the country is brutally exposed at the cost of millions of innocent lives”. He goes on to add, “This is the time when any person in the position of power should take responsibility for the mess that has been created under his supervision and resign but our power-hungry Prime Minister won’t resign by himself and it is of utmost importance that we citizens come together and demand his resignation at the earliest and at any lives”. He also highlights ten “heinous acts committed by our Prime Minister in the past one year.”

Mathuria voices the concerns and

85 Veez Konkani

demand of millions of Indians. The #ResignModi hashtag has been one of the top trending on Twitter for the past several days- particularly, since the Bengal Election results were announced. At one time, Facebook too had many such posts, but it soon blocked posts tagged #ResignModi; however, these posts were restored hours later, as a controversy erupted whether it was the government’s demand to remove social media content critical of the way the Covid crisis is being handled. The petition is fast racing to the 100,000 mark – a goal which Mathuria has given himself; there is no doubt that he will achieve it.

Writing in Bloomberg/ Quint Priya Ramani says, “The support for

Mathuria’s petition is the cry of a nation breathless from the lack of oxygen, one that is in the midst of a ‘viral apocalypse’. It’s a timely outlet for the rage and despair of citizens who have been forced to consider what our lives are worth to this government we twice-elected.”.

Strong words indeed, but authentically voicing the sentiments of a nation which feels breathless, brutalised, and even murdered by a regime which is totally callous and

has neither the ability nor the desire to govern wisely.

The Election Commission (EC) blatantly worked as a side- kick of the Government. In a scathing oral order on 26 April, the Madras High Court said that the EC was the ‘only institution’ responsible for the deadly COVID-19 second wave India is seeing today. In March, the EC announced elections in four States and one union territory which would begin on 27 March with the counting of votes scheduled for 2 May. The second wave of the pandemic had already begun tightening its grip on the nation by then. Hearing a petition on whether there were adequate COVID-19 safety procedures in place during vote counting, a bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthil Kumar Ramamoorthy said, “you [the EC]

are the only institution that is responsible for the situation today.

No action against political parties taking rallies despite every order of the Court.

Your election commission should be put up on murder charges probably!”

86 Veez Konkani

In the context of the Madras High Court observations, the EC also wanted the media to be restrained and not to publish any oral observations; to this the Supreme Court told the EC that it would neither restrain the media from reporting oral observations made during proceedings in public interest nor demoralize high courts since both are ‘vital pillars of democracy’. It termed as “too far fetched’ the poll panel’s plea of restraining media from reporting remarks made in court proceedings.

In the written judgement on 6 May , Justice Chandrachud said, “The

discussions that take place are of importance and are in public interest. It’s not a monologue that one person will speak and then judges will speak." The court said

that dialogues and reporting of such dialogues by media create accountability and underscored that anything to the contrary could be seen as affecting independence of High Courts. “We have to protect

the judicial sanctity of the process.

We have to make sure that High Court judges and Chief Justices are independent to make views. We have to make sure that media

reports everything that happens in court so that we judge conduct proceedings with dignity,” Adding, “Courts are entrusted to perform crucial functions under the law.

Their work has a direct impact, not only on the rights of citizens, but also the extent to which the citizens can exact accountability from the executive. Citizens are entitled to ensure that courts remain true to their remit to be a check on arbitrary exercises of power”.

Ironically enough, (after the previous CJI almost completely destroyed its credibility and objectivity) there is some kind of light coming from the Supreme Court (some of the High Courts have been passing several orders and strictures on their State Governments) . In a landmark order on 8 May which is bound to have repercussions, the Supreme Court constituted a twelve - member national task force of distinguished health experts to distribute oxygen, essential drugs in a fair and equitable manner because of the total breakdown of distribution leading to tragic deaths in various parts of the country. All of them are

87 Veez Konkani

eminent health experts. This is an unprecedented step in the annals of judicial activism which has virtually taken on an executive role but was necessary in this desperate situation. When the Government has ceased to exercise its basic responsibilities the judiciary has stepped in to take up cudgels on behalf of the hapless citizens of the country.

The situation in all the BJP -run states are disastrous. The worst is perhaps Uttar Pradesh. Even a young boy who is desperate for an oxygen cylinder and makes a request on social media for it is hauled up by the police! A BBC report says that ‘The region around Varanasi, one of the holiest cities in the world for Hindus, is among the worst affected by the second wave of coronavirus sweeping India’.

Adding, “Many angry citizens of the

region, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, are now asking where their MP, Narendra Modi - India's prime minister - is in their hour of need.

India’s devastating second wave has pushed the country's total number of infections to 20 million and the death toll to more than 220,000. In

Varanasi, with the health infrastructure swamped, patients can no longer find hospital beds, oxygen, or ambulances, and getting a Covid test can take up to a week.

In the past 10 days, most pharmacies have run out of basic medicines like vitamins, zinc and paracetamol. "We are inundated with calls saying help us get a bed or oxygen," said a local medical professional, who did not want to be named. "With the most basic medicines in short supply, people are even taking expired drugs," he said” UP, Gujarat , Karnataka and others also like to play the reality down. In Government Hospitals in Ahmedabad- informed sources (who wish to remain anonymous) say that the daily ‘official’ figures are at least ten times less than the actuals. On the ghats of the River Ganges the funeral pyres are burning non-stop: an estimated 300-400 cremations daily to the normal ‘peak’ of just about eighty.

In order to defocus from the complete mismanagement and corruption of his own Government both at the Centre and in Karnataka

88 Veez Konkani

, BJP MP from Bangalore South, Tejasvi Surya gave names of 17 Muslim staffers in a hospital while making allegations about ‘bed blocking scam’. His unwarranted, unauthenticated and communal allegations have raised a hue and cry from all sections of society. In fact the latest in this ‘bed scam’ points to a BJP MLA and an aide!Those living in remote rural areas and in the slums; the poor and the vulnerable are in a pathetic state .No one talks about them : they are sick and dying -they are not even numbers! On April 30, the UP State Primary Teachers Association President said that at least 706 teachers died due to Covid-19 after continued duty at the panchayat polls in Uttar Pradesh. Foreign Governments ( from the US to Saudi Arabia) have rushed tonnes of necessary medical equipment and other emergency aid to India: at this moment, according to newspaper reports, this aid has still to be assigned to specific destinations and are lying undistributed! .

Meantime, the callous, corrupt and communal regime continues with its grandiose Central Vista project

at an exorbitant mind-boggling cost to the tax-payers. If this is not a fit case to book all those involved in this heinous crime, under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act( UAPA) and even under the sedition one – then what is? The Courts have to act decisively and promptly. The Government in insidious ways continues to destroy the environment; they flaunt regressive anti -people anti -democratic policies ; they have flagrantly denigrated the role and responsibility of all Constitutional and independent bodies . The regime has looted the country in every possible way -particularly through demonetisation.

An explosive lead story in the latest issue of ‘The Caravan’ ( 8 May 2021) reveals how the former chief minister of Uttarakhand Trivendra Singh Rawat was fired overnight in March 2021 for insisting that Mahakumbh should be restricted.

The Kumbh Mela was held right through April – with thousands participating :did not the Government ( State and National) have the powers to stop this ‘super spreader’ event? In Ahmedabad there were the cricket matches

89 Veez Konkani

earlier with thousands at the Stadium named after the ‘big man’ – the dynastic son as the Cricket boss of India was milking the moolah – really not bothered about how many would die later on. Petrol prices are on a steep rise – in the midst of escalating costs!

Mainstream media in India, continues to be throttled and ‘godified’ – fortunately, there is a slight change of late, with reports and even articles lambasting the Government. Social media is full of memes, cartoons about the pathetic situation. Even loyal ‘bhakts’ have started using expletives! World media continue to highlight the abysmal state of affairs in India and the totally irresponsible attitude of the Government! India’s foreign minister has ordered Indian Missions abroad to counter the bad media is receiving from the foreign press. A few days ago, after a scathing piece on the Indian government by the Australian press, the Indian High Commission in that country published what it called a “rejoinder.” But far from addressing any of the criticism in the report, the letter read more like a rant from a

party propaganda department, calling the media report “motivated and malicious.”

‘The Lancet’ the world’s best-known medical journal in its latest issue (Vol 397 May 8, 2021) says in a scathing editorial, “At times, Prime

Minister Narendra Modi’s Government has seemed more intent on removing criticism on Twitter than trying to control the pandemic. Despite warnings about the risks of super spreader events, the government allowed religious festivals to go ahead, drawing millions of people from around the country, along with huge political rallies—conspicuous for their lack of COVID-19 mitigation measures….

Modi’s actions in attempting to stifle criticism and open discussion during the crisis are inexcusable.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimates that India will see a staggering 1 million deaths from COVID-19 by Aug 1. If that outcome were to happen, Modi’s Government would be responsible for presiding over a self-inflicted national catastrophe.” Any thinking citizen of India would hang his/her head down in shame and demand

90 Veez Konkani

that this Government immediately.

resigns

On 4 May celebrated writer and activist Arundhati Roy wrote a direct but powerful appeal to the Prime Minister saying, “We need a

government. Desperately. And we don’t have one. We are running out of air. We are dying. We don’t have systems in place to know what to do with help hand. What can be done?

Right here, right now? We cannot wait till 2024. Never would people like myself have imagined the day would come when we would find ourselves appealing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for anything. Personally, I would rather have gone to prison than do that.

But today, as we die in our homes, on the streets, in hospital car parks, in big cities, in small towns, in villages and forests and fields – I, an ordinary private citizen, am swallowing my pride to join millions of my fellow citizens in saying please sir, please, step aside. At least for now. I beseech you, step down”. She ends the letter saying, “So please go. It is the most responsible thing for you to do. You have forfeited the moral right to be

our prime minister”.

On 9 May 1945, the Nazis surrendered; the day is observed as ‘Victory Day’ . The people of India today live in a failed state and demand their own ‘victory day’! It is time to rise and hold the regime responsible for crimes against humanity. We, the people of India

refuse to be throttled any longer: we need to breathe!

hospital, Hazaribagh on Tuesday.

From there she was shifted to Holy Family Hospital, Koderma yesterday as she was detected covid positive. The funeral will be today Sunday at Hazaribaugh.

She has a younger sister, Sr Edna Furtado, A.C. the Superior of Jayanagar Carmel Convent at Bengaluru. Her younger brother Everist Furtado, a retired officer of Bank of India lives at

Wadala, Mumbai. Unfortunately,

She was at Hazaribagh Convent.

She was admitted to Holy Cross

due to time factor, both her siblings cannot attend her funeral today. Sr Eulalia held many responsibilities in her congregation, especially as a Treasurer of the Apostolic Carmel Congregation at the Superior General’s Office at Bengaluru.

With her smiling face, gentle voice, and always positive approach, she touched the lives of thousands.

95 Veez Konkani

Among the first cousins on my father's side, Sr Eulalia was the first one. To all of us she was like the eldest sister, gentle, loving, always smiling and caring. She always reminded me several times that she took care of me, carried me and played with me when i was very young at our paternal grandparents' home "Church Villa", at Kundapura, Udupi District of Karnataka, and then at Umerkhadi, Mumbai. But since I was very young then, I do not remember those loving services she did to me. Every month faithfully she called me and spoke at length. Constantly in touch with me and encouraging me through WhatsApp messages. Her last WhatsApp message to me was on 23rd April 2021. When I shared with her the video of “Abide with me” song, she replied, “My

mother when she was sick, she was singing and asked us to sing.

Also Abide in me.”

All these days i used to receive prayer requests for those who have tested positive. For the last 10 days I came to know the death of a few persons whom I knew and died due to Covid-19. But now, when it is a close family member and dear to the heart, I really feel the pain of her physical absence. I lost a gem of a person in my life who guided me throughout by her advice and prayers. May our Heavenly Father embrace Sr Eulaia in His loving arms and bless her with the heavenly reward by granting her peace and eternal rest.

To ‘Come and See’ IS to ‘Be and Do’!

(A reflection on World Communications Day: 16 May 2021) Communicating by Encountering People Where and as They Are.’ In doing so, he makes it amply clear that, “in order to tell the truth of life

- *Fr Cedric Prakash SJ Pope Francis has once again thrown a challenge to Catholic Communicators in his annual message for ‘World Communications Day’ which this year falls on Sunday 16 May. In his typically direct yet profound way, he focuses his message on the theme

‘“Come

and

See”

(Jn

1:46).

that becomes history, it is necessary to move beyond the complacent attitude that we ‘already know’ certain things. Instead, we need to go and see them for ourselves, to spend time with people, to listen to their stories and to confront reality, which always in some way surprises us”. Though Pope Francis’ message is addressed primarily to Catholic communicators- it is, in fact applicable to all communicators today!

In his introductory paragraph Pope Francis sets the tone of what

103 Veez Konkani

Christian Communication is and should be ,“this year, then, I would

like to devote this Message to the invitation to “come and see”, which can serve as an inspiration for all communication that strives to be clear and honest, in the press, on the internet, in the Church’s daily preaching and in political or social communication.

“Come and see!” This has always been the way that the Christian faith has been communicated, from the time of those first encounters on the banks of the River Jordan and on the Sea of Galilee”.

‘Come and See’ therefore in essence, is to ‘be and do’.

In the subsections that follow, Pope Francis highlights three interrelated dimensions in order to drive home his point: to hit the streets, to live the communication of the Gospels and to have the courage of one’s conviction. All these three resonate very strongly with what he says in his Apostolic Exhortation ‘Evangelii Gaudium’(The Joy of the Gospels’), “I prefer a Church which

is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from

clinging to its own security. I do not want a Church concerned with being at the centre and which then ends by being caught up in a web of obsessions and procedures. If something should rightly disturb us and trouble our consciences, it is the fact that so many of our brothers and sisters are living without the strength, light and consolation born of friendship with Jesus Christ, without a community of faith to support them, without meaning and a goal in life”.

He sees the need of “hitting the streets”, in order to grasp the truth of things and the concrete lives of people, and more important the serious social phenomena or positive movements at the grass roots level. He laments how the original investigative reporting in newspapers and television, radio and web newscasts which involved sticking one’s neck out – is today replaced by ‘tendentious narrative’.

For Pope Francis “hitting the streets” essentially means meeting people face to face to research stories or to verify certain situations first hand; he emphatically states that, “unless we open ourselves to

104 Veez Konkani

this kind of encounter, we remain mere spectators” “Come and See”, says Pope Francis,

“were the first words that Jesus spoke to the disciples who were curious about him following his baptism in the Jordan river (Jn 1:39).

He invited them to enter into a relationship with him”. For Jesus , as one sees throughout the Gospel this ‘come and see’ is meant to be a transformative experience. Several religious congregations today have this ‘come and see’ period : often called a ‘prenovitiate’ or ‘aspirancy’.

Basically, it is a time of orientation: a probation, an internship : when one begins internalising a particular value system and also has an opportunity for involvement. Pope Francis give us the examples of Nathanael and the Samaritan woman saying, “That is how

Christian faith begins, and how it is communicated: as direct knowledge, born of experience, and not of hearsay.” The change in

attitude which evolves when theory moves into practise. That ability to reach out to others. “Come and see”

is the simplest method to get to know a situation. It is the most honest test of every message,

because, in order to know, we need to encounter, to let the person in front of me speak, to let his or her testimony reach me.”

He then talks about the ‘courage of many journalists’; he thanks them for their stand and heaps praise on them. He says, “Journalism too, as

an account of reality, calls for an ability to go where no one else thinks of going: a readiness to set out and a desire to see. Curiosity, openness, passion. We owe a word of gratitude for the courage and commitment of all those professionals – journalists, camera operators, editors, directors – who often risk their lives in carrying out their work. Thanks to their efforts, we now know, for example, about the hardships endured by persecuted minorities in various parts of the world, numerous cases of oppression and injustice inflicted on the poor and on the environment, and many wars that otherwise would be overlooked. It would be a loss not only for news reporting, but for society and for democracy as a whole, were those voices to fade away. Our entire human family would be impoverished”.

105 Veez Konkani

Here Pope Francis gives us plenty of food-for thought on the current pandemic. His message was made public on 23 January – but with some extraordinary foresight he was already writing about the pandemic which grips India today when he says, “many situations in

our world, even more so in this time of pandemic, are inviting the communications media to “come and see”. We can risk reporting the pandemic, and indeed every crisis, only through the lens of the richer nations, of “keeping two sets of books”. For example, there is the question of vaccines, and medical care in general, which risks excluding the poorer peoples. Who would keep us informed about the long wait for treatment in the poverty-stricken villages of Asia, Latin America and Africa? Social and economic differences on the global level risk dictating the order of distribution of anti-Covid vaccines, with the poor always at the end of the line and the right to universal health care affirmed in principle, but stripped of real effect. Yet even in the world of the more fortunate, the social tragedy of families rapidly slipping into poverty remains

largely hidden; people who are no longer ashamed to wait in line before charitable organizations in order to receive a package of provisions do not tend to make news”.

Pope Francis speaks a bit about the ‘Opportunities and hidden dangers on the web’. We are all aware of how the web/internet has radically transformed our lives. For more than fourteen months now , ever since the pandemic has forced millions to ‘stay at home’ – the internet has been a significant means of keeping many sane : some were privileged to ‘work from home’, millions of students could avail of online classes, social media was on a song with almost anything and everything finding some space on facebook, twitter, instagram and the like. One could be ‘in touch’ constantly with distant relatives and friends and with what was happening all around. Sadly there are also the hidden dangers- when we tend to get overwhelmed with all that we received. One clear example is all the ‘fundas’ being dished out as a cure or a preventive to COVID19; quick-fixes, good grandmothers decoctions that are certainly helpful

in boosting one’s immunity level – now flaunted as a cure! Then there is the infamous ‘whatsapp university’ – to which one is so easily hooked to. The point is that there is so much of ‘fake’ news being forwarded that oftentimes , even without thinking , verifying/ authenticating one happily forwards such stuff. Pope Francis rightly warns us, “All of us are responsible

for the communications we make, for the information we share, for the control that we can exert over fake news by exposing it. All of us are to be witnesses of the truth: to go, to see and to share”.

On World Communications Day , Pope Francis gives Catholic communicators some key words as directions, to what catholic communications is all about. The base words are obviously ‘Come’ and ‘See’ : the implications are clear – unless one gets out of one’s comfort zone – nothing will change.

He reminds us that in the Gospel – only when goes out to see, to seek – does a change a metamorphosis, a metanoia takes place. Then right through he uses words like ‘encounter’ , ‘clear’, ‘honest’ , ‘courage’ , ‘authentic’, ‘truth’ ,

‘reality’ , ‘curiosity’ . ‘openness’ , ‘passion’ – which are not merely an haphazard collection but the metamorphosis non-negotiable essentials of what a communicator should be internalising in order to be truly a witness of Jesus in our world today! It is a call ‘to be’ and ‘to do’ : to be visible and vocal , to stick one’s neck out, to take a stand for truth and justice.

On 3 May, World Press Freedom Day- the annual ‘World Press Freedom Index-2021’, placed India a lowly 142 out of 180 countries which were evaluated! A sad commentary on the way media is throttled in India!( the last few weeks however, we must admit that there is a sea-change at least in some of the mainstream media). In the light of the challenges which Pope Francis throws to catholic communicators and in the context of the reality which grips the country today – it is imperative that Catholic communicators do some serious soul-searching, ask themselves some uncomfortable questions, have the courage to answer them truthfully and act urgently on these responses. The

107 Veez Konkani

questions are several ; some of them are: • Are Catholic Communicators

visible and vocal to what is happening in the country today? How many are taking a stand for justice and truth?

Sticking one’s neck out?

• How many Catholic Communicators have taken a stand against the callousness, the corruption and the complacency of the Central Government during this pandemic? How many have written about it ,done video presentations, preached about it?

• How many editorials have taken a stand against the ‘love jihad’ laws of certain Governments ? the wanton destruction of the environment? Or for that matter against the Central Vista project? Or against the conditions in our prisons today?

An honest evaluation of what most Catholic Communicators are ‘doing’ will easily reveal the painful truth.

Communications today is not

about fancy gizmos or sophisticated studios or for that matter even of so-called ‘productions’ Many of these we know, become obsolete, irrelevant and outdated in a matter of time. Communications is also not about couch potatoes who are afraid to hit the streets. Today several are more interested in relegating communications to ‘toeing the line’ , licking the boots of the powerful’ , maintaining the ‘status quo’, about protecting our possessions and privileges . All this is certainly a betrayal of Christ and his message of what Catholic Communications should be. One should take a cue from the latest issue of the OUTLOOK magazine(May 24, 2021) a creative cover page with emboldened letters in red just one word ‘MISSING ‘ and just below NAME: Government of India; AGE 7 years ; INFORM : Citizens of India! One can also look at the front page of the Kolkata based daily ‘The Telegraph’(May 15, 2021) with the bold captions, “If you call this pain…..What do you call this ?” With very apt pictures!

What powerful images of the Indian reality today!

Catholic

108 Veez Konkani

communicators are called to do likewise!

Pope Francis’ message does not only have to be read in toto but also needs to be internalised. He gives a final salvo saying, “The challenge

that awaits us, then, is to communicate by encountering people, where they are and as they are”; and in that final prayer, “Lord, teach us to move beyond ourselves, and to set out in search of truth.

Teach us to go out and see, teach us to listen, not to entertain prejudices or draw hasty conclusions.

Teach us to go where no one else will go, to take the time needed to understand, to pay attention to the essentials, not to be distracted by the

superfluous, to distinguish deceptive appearances from the truth.

Grant us the grace to recognize your dwelling places in our world and the honesty needed to tell others what we have seen”.

To ‘Come and See’ then is to ‘Be and Do’ – the ball is now in the court of Catholic communicators and in fact ,with all those who are committed to free and fearless communications which is based on truth and justice ! It is left to be seen if one has the courage to accept the challenge!

OPEN- The Covid-19 crisis has brought to the fore not only our limitedness as human beings in the face of a pandemic but also the sad plight of migrants, daily wage earners, the elderly and the mentally sick during lockdown. The vision of education at St Aloysius Institutions is to create men and women for and with others.

Mangalore Jesuit Educational Society has taken this initiative to reach out to the poor families of migrants and daily wage earners by providing them with Provision Kits and Covid-19 essentials weekly. The efforts put in by MJES and Alumnus of St Aloysius Institution during this pandemic in helping out the society through their little contribution is praiseworthy.

St Aloysius Institutions, Mangaluru had plunged into action as soon as the nationwide lockdown was clamped in the month of March 2020 and, rendered significant service to the people and families infected and grievously affected by the pandemic with the strong support and goodwill of the alumni, generous contributors and

volunteers. MJES, in its initiative, could reach out to hundreds of victims of the pandemic like the migrant labourers and distressed individuals through providing food kits, psychological accompanying, medicine and health facilities regularly. Radio Sarang, the Community Radio of the College continually broadcast awareness buying and selling of these farmer products.

programmes to the people of the region regarding the virus, its spread and precautions to be taken to save oneself from infection.

The Entrepreneurship and Consultancy Cell of St Aloysius College (Autonomous) had taken initiative by launching “St Aloysius Jaala Santhe” on 15th July 2020, brought together hundreds of rural entrepreneurs and farmers in a WhatsApp group and facilitated

In the wake of the second wave of the pandemic hitting hard and the exponential spike in the spread of the virus, MIES has put in place a centralized Covid Care Centre in the campus to facilitate quick and speedy redressal of the issues and concerns of the people affected and infected by the virus leading to serious psychological and physical health hazards. The Centre will operate from the Gelge Hall (Main Auditorium) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Rector of St Aloysius Institutions and Vice-President of MJES, Rev. Fr Melwin Pinto SJ in his speech said “Let us come together to combat the challenges posed by the deadly

112 Veez Konkani

virus and help in its mitigation. Time has come to demonstrate our solidarity with the suffering humanity. As we empathize and responded to the plights of the migrant labourers during the first wave by providing nutritious food costing approximately Rs.900/- per food kit, we would like to continue the same during the second wave too. I am sure, there would be hundreds of such daily wage earners and migrant labourers languishing in the streets, bus and railway shelters waiting for our success. The expensive and most required apparatuses related to Oxygen would cost us enormously as we aspire to reach out to every single affected person that comes in contact with us.”

Speaking after the blessing and launching of the ‘ST ALOYSIUS COVID CARE CENTRE’ Rev Fr Praveen Martis SJ, the Principal of St Aloysius College said, “God has given us two hands – one to receive with and another to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

When we share the sorrow of the crucified of the earth, we are no

longer alone. We are made to share each other’s burdens. Sharing food and provisions with the poor and the needy feeds our friendships, bolsters our bonds and nourishes our sense of community – and those factors are vital for our happiness. I request the Alumni of this great institution to come forward with their helping hand in making this project a success, aimed at a good cause during the pandemic where people are suffering and need help”.

On the launching of this Care Centre, president of SACAA Steven Pinto and Fr Cyril D’Mello SJ, the Coordinator of this project, and also the Director of St Aloysius Industrial Training Institute also spoke and sought support from well-wishers and alumni of St Aloysius Institutions to contribute towards this project.

Dr Alwyn D’Sa, the Registrar and organizing committee member compered the programme.

The Aloysius Covid Care Centre will facilitate the following services to those who require assistance regarding the following:

humanity. As we empathize and earners and migrant labourers responded to the plights of the languishing in the streets, bus and migrant labourers during the first railway shelters waiting for our wave by providing nutritious food success. The expensive and most costing approximately Rs.900/- per required apparatuses related to food kit, we would like to continue Oxygen would cost us enormously the same during the second wave as we aspire to reach out to every too. I am sure, there would be single affected person that comes in hundreds of such daily wage contact with us.”
