Sindhutai Sapkal Mother of orphans
PERSONALITY OF THE MONTH
S
ou. Sindhutai Sapkal also known as Mother of Orphans is an social worker and social activist known particularly for her work for raising orphan children.
Personal life Born to 'Abhiman Sathe', Sindhutai was brought up in abject poverty. She could attend school only till the 4th grade. She continued her education on a part-time basis due to other family responsibilities subsequently. She was married off at the age of 10. In prime youth, her husband abandoned her. She was only 20 then and had to leave home with her infant daughter. She left her child to the Shrimant Dagdu Sheth Halwai Trust, Pune. Resolute about working for orphans, her deep thought behind this act was to eliminate the feeling of partiality between her daughter and the adopted ones. Till date, Sindhutai Sapkal has nurtured about 1,442 orphaned children. Many of the children whom she adopted are well-educated lawyers and doctors. Some, including her biological daughter, are running their own independent orphanages. Her life has been so inspiring that one of her adopted children is working on a Ph.D. on her life. Till date, she has been honored with more than 500 awards. She used all that money to buy land to make a home for her orphan children. Construction has started and she is still looking for more help from the world .

Early life Satya Parkash Choubey, the son of Bageshwari Dubey and Phulamati Devi, was born at the village of Sahpur in the Siwan district of Bihar, India. The family of five girls and two boys subsisted on a small piece of land, and Bageshwari also held a low-paying clerical position in a nearby sugar mill. Until the age of 15 he studied at the Gang Baksh Kanodiya High School in Sahpur and then joined junior college at Allahabad, about three hundred kilometers away. He was admitted to the Civil Engineering Department of IIT Kanpur in 1990, graduated in 1994. Subsequently, he did his M. Tech (Civil Engg.) from Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, and Varanasi in 1996. Professional life He was selected for the Indian Engineering Service (IES) in 1996, India's top engineering bureaucracy and joined ministry of surface transport. While at the ministry he once called the police when offered a bribe In July 2002 he was employed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Dubey became the Assistant Project Manager at Koderma, Jharkhand, responsible for managing a part of the Aurangabad-Barachatti section of National Highway 2 (The Grand Trunk Road). This highway was part of the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) Corridor Project, the Prime Minister's initiative, which aimed to connect many of the country major cities by four-lane limited-access highways totaling 14,000 km, at an overall cost more than USD 10 billion. During this period, Dubey got the contractor of the project to suspend three of his engineers after exposing serious financial irregularities. At one point, he had the contractor rebuild six kilometers of under-quality road, a huge loss for the road contract mafia. Legacy Dubey's murder drew several protests in India and abroad, especially by the media. Student and Alumni bodies of IITs took the lead in raising this issue. S. K. Dubey Foundation for Fight against Corruption was founded in the US by Ashutosh Aman (IIT Kanpur, Satyendra's batchmate) and Atal Bansal (IIT Kanpur) to systematically fight against corruption. IIT Kanpur instituted an annual award in his name, Satyendra K Dubey Memorial Award, to be given to an IIT alumnus for displaying highest professional integrity in upholding human values. Arvind Kejriwal, a recipient of this award, went on to receive the Ramon Magsaysay Award as well. The Indian Express also announced a fellowship in the name of Dubey. Satyendra Dubey was recognised posthumously by several awards, which included the Whistleblower of the year award from the London-based Index on Censorshipthe Transparency International's Annual integrity award and the Service Excellence award from the All India Management Association. On November 26, 2007 NDTV aired a documentary by Mini Vaid on Satyendra Dubey, produced by Ashutosh Aman on behalf of the S K Dubey Foundation. Famous Indian musician Rabbi Shergill has dedicated one stanza in his song titled 'Bilqis (Jinhe Naaz Hai)' from album Avengi Ja Nahin to Satyendra Dubey. This song is a dedication to all those who died in vain or while supporting some cause (anti-corruption). Institute for Research and Documentation in Social Sciences (IRDS), a Non-governmental organization from Lucknow has been awarding the Satya Parkash Choubey award for government services in reference to his contributions to the cause of fighting corruption.. His story was highlighted in the final episode of Satyamave Jayate. 6

Construction
OLYM PI (MON C STADIUM TREAL)
As construction the Olympic Stadium was well underway, a labour strike caused major delay to the building of the stadium and, in particular, the tower. The roof languished in a warehouse in France until 1982. was not until 1987, 11 years later, that both the tower and roof were completed.
I t
Opening Back view at night Problems plagued the stadium from the time it opened for the Olympic Games, when it was only half built. Seating 58,500 at the time, the stadium was not fully completed in time for the Games due to problems with the unusual design and strikes by construction workers. During the Games and for several years afterward, the stadium did not have a tower or roof. Both the tower and the roof, made of over 5,500 m2 (59,000 sq ft) of Kevlar, stood unfinished until 1987, and it was not until 1988 that it was possible to retract the roof. The 66tonne roof then proved difficult to retract, and could not be used at all in winds greater than 40 km/h (25 mph). During baseball season, whenever rain was accompanied by high winds, this resulted in the unusual phenomenon of a rain delay in a covered stadium. It was also torn during particularly windy conditions.
