Management, Bhopal |
Photo Exhibition
and Solidarity
On December 3rd, 2005, students at the Indian Institute for Forest
Management in Bhopal organized a photo exhibition and other events
on campus.
With the exciting support and co-operation from Students for Bhopal
especially and others around like Rachna here we organised something
in Indian Institute of Forest Management this time marking the 21st
anniversary of Bhopal tragedy. I wish to extend whole hearted thanks
to you all on behalf of everyone who were behind in organising such
an event. We got overwhelming support from some of our faculties
and several of our fellow students were also quite helpful and supportive
in the whole effort. We gathered the support of the IIFM community
by collecting their signatures with comments in a big white sheet
for which the response was something quite rewarding. It was after
the absence of a substantial student community who are out of the
campus primarily due to the field work.
I specially liked to mention the name of Ms. Swati Karamcheti,
an MPhil student who had shown her enthusiasm right from the beginning
and played an appreciable role in making the event a fair success.
We hope and wish in the years to come IIFM will also find its place
in the network of organisations and students who are part and parcel
of the struggle against injustice to the victims of Bhopal tragedy.

"The year 2003 was a special
year in the history of the campaign for justice in Bhopal. It was the
year when student and youth supporters from at least 30 campuses in the
US and India took action against Dow Chemical or in support of the demands
of the Bhopal survivors. As we enter the 20th year of the unfolding Bhopal
disaster, we can, with your support, convey to Dow Chemical that the fight
for justice in Bhopal is getting stronger and will continue till justice
is done. We look forward to your continued support and good wishes, and
hope that our joint struggle will pave the way for a just world free of
the abuse of corporate power."
