COLLEGES & CED

This
July and August 2005 we at CED
hope
to establish contacts with departments of Humanities in various
colleges of Bangalore. This would cover an introduction to
CED, the services and publications and would also be a sensitization
to social and development issues.
If
you are a part of any college set up
in
Bangalore or have contacts please help us make inroads. Send
information to Veena

Is
the title
of
a new
monthly compilation. It consists of about
100 clippings
from newspapers, journals, the net and other sources for anyone
concerned about
the critical issues and concerns of the day. It provides a monthly
overview of
developments, primarily for activists, NGOs and development workers who
may not
be in a position to access and read newspapers and journals on a
regular basis

them. This
