Prayer Meet For The Late Shri Pramod Prakash Shrivastav Ji
2024-05-10 18:00 - 19:30 | Conference Hall, Tibet House New Delhi, 1, Institutional Area, Lodhi road, NEW DELHI, Delhi, 110003, India
Brief Introduction of Shri Pramod Prakash Shrivastav Ji:
IAS (Retd) Shri Pramod Prakash Shrivastav Ji has been a Member of the Governing Body of the Tibet House for over 3 decades now. His last assignment with the Govt of India was as Member of the North Eastern Council in the rank of Union Minister of State, for around eight and a half years starting from 2005. In fact, starting from the year 1960, he has around 35 years experience of postings in the North-East and handling of that Region from the Govt of India. Earlier, he had served in the Ministry of Home Affairs at all the levels from Director to Spl Secretary for 12 years in 3 tenures (between 1975 and 1992) handling most of the Divisions of the Ministry. His other postings included Chief Secretary of the State of Goa, Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (1981-86) and also as Adviser to Governor in 3 States (viz.Assam in 1990-91, Himachal Pradesh in 1993 and Manipur in 1994) for almost one year each during periods of crisis when these States had to be brought under President’s Rule. He had started his service career as a Lecturer in a Govt Degree/PG College for 3 years after obtaining M.Sc. in Chemistry in 1954 from the Rajasthan University securing 1 st Division and 1 st position in the subject in the University. Thereafter he was selected in the IPS in 1960 and later in the IAS while he was in the North East. Shri Shrivastav has been taking keen interest in enhancement of the quality of the three crucial dimensions of human personality, namely, the physical, the intellectual and the spiritual. Activities that he tried to promote all through his service career included Yoga for keeping the body and mind fit and alert; inculcation of human values in the education system for a healthy and progressive mind in the community and grasping the essence of scriptures to gain insight of the soul and over- soul. The wisdom gained by such knowledge will go a long way in shaping of sound character and building of strong foundation on which the human beings can evolve higher and move closer to divinity. This bent of mind brought him closer to the Buddhist philosophy and teachings, and he became an admirer of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his teachings of compassion. That brought him in touch with the Tibet House when he got a posting in Delhi in the seventies. That relationship became closer and abiding when he was nominated to the Membership of the Governing Body of Tibet House.
We cordially invite you to join us for a prayer meet in remembrance of the late Mr. Shri P.P. Shrivastav, a revered figure whose contributions and legacy continue to inspire us. Let’s gather together to honor his remarkable life, share cherished memories, and offer our prayers for his eternal peace. Your presence will be a source of comfort and strength for all who knew and admired him. Please join us in paying our respects and celebrating the life of a truly remarkable individual.

ANNUAL SPIRITUAL ECOLOGY LECTURE 2024
2024-11-05 18:00 - 20:00 | Delhi
Living with Earthquakes in the Himalaya: What can Science do to help?
Date: Tuesday, 5th November 2024
Time: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM (IST)
Venue: Lecture Room – 2, Annexe Building, TIC, New Delhi
Livestream: Tibet House YouTube Channel
Overview:
Earthquakes remain a significant concern, particularly in rapidly expanding urban areas within seismic zones. Despite extensive research on earthquake-prone regions like the Mediterranean to the Himalayas, cities continue to face considerable risks. The urgent question: how can science contribute to reducing these risks and enhancing public safety?
Join us for the Annual Spiritual Ecology Lecture where James Jackson, Emeritus Professor from the University of Cambridge, will explore these challenges and discuss solutions. Focusing on earthquake science and public safety in the Himalayas, this lecture highlights the need for collaboration among scientists, civic leaders, and the public. The talk will also delve into the limitations of predicting earthquakes and instead focus on mitigation, preparedness, and education.
Abstract:
The Himalayan earthquake belt is well-studied, yet urban growth in vulnerable areas has not significantly reduced earthquake risks. This lecture will emphasize the importance of public safety and preparedness, the limitations of short-term earthquake predictions, and the value of collaboration between scientists and policymakers. James Jackson will share insights from his collaborative work with Indian colleagues in the NW Himalayas, aiming to improve earthquake risk reduction through knowledge exchange.

About the Speaker:
James Jackson is an Emeritus Professor in Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge. His expertise spans continental development and deformation, focusing on seismology, geodesy, and Quaternary geology. With extensive fieldwork across Asia, the Mediterranean, Africa, and beyond, Jackson is dedicated to reducing earthquake risks in developing countries. He co-led the “Earthquakes Without Frontiers” project, fostering international collaboration to enhance earthquake risk reduction.
