User talk:ASLE-Delhi

ASLE-Delhi is an international academic venture that intends to amalgamate two relevant issues Gender and Human Rights with Literature and Environment primarily initiated by the Zonal Joint Secretary of ASLE-India, Rishikesh Kumar Singh, Delhi University, what he calls it LEGH movement. ASLE-Delhi is as an open forum for creative interaction between intellectuals, academicians, environmental activists, naturalists, nature-lovers, and those involved and committed to these issues and wish to remain equally open to each other’s individual, methodological and disciplinary differences and point of view. ASLE-Delhi hopes to work with all the enthusiastic individuals and similar organizations. Since 2012, ASLE-Delhi has been a chapter of ASLE-India. However, after a formal meeting of various scholars of Delhi University and Jawaharlal Nehru University held in April 2015 the idea to form an international organization parallel to ASLE-India came out and this was appreciated and approved by Dr. Murali Shivramakrishnan, the Founder President, ASLE-India and Chief Advisor, ASLE-Delhi. In this meeting some initiatives had been taken. The Committee was constituted of eleven scholars from different parts of the country. In August 2016 in a meeting held at Delhi University, ASLE-Delhi has formed its own Executive Council and appointed a Joint Secretary in each state of India (except Jammu & Kashmir, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh- In these states two joint secretaries are to be appointed) to meet its various academic goals. The major purpose of ASLE-Delhi is to begin with translating ecocritical texts from the Indian Vernacular languages to English and vice-versa. Apart from that ASLE-Delhi has set up a Theater Society as it feels that theater is the best medium to spread awareness and consciousness among people. ASLE-Delhi has also initiated with a multi-disciplinary quarterly English journal named LEGH: the Dwellers of Wood.
