Womens Education Societys Smt Manoramabai Mundle College of Architecture (SMMCA), to commemorate the silver jubilee year of the college, recently organised the two-day international conference Paradox to Paradigm: Architecture in the Age of Network Society at Hotel Radisson Blu, Nagpur. The conference brought several renowned researchers, students and professionals from the field of architecture under one roof. Apart from many Indian cities, speakers from countries like Japan, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia, UK and USA also visited the conference. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari also made his presence felt at the conference.
The objective of the conference was to address the harsh reality of network society heads-on and to create a platform for contemplating on how architecture today is evolving and how we could shape the future of architecture through radical thinking by generating paradoxes which could potentially evolve into paradigms.
Along with the basic theme, the conference also consisted of some sub-themes namely:
Historicity and Modernity: An emerging order in the age of network society
Architecture as a social art in the age of network society
New directions in architecture profession and education
Addressing changing cultural contexts through architecture
Computational design paradigms
New technologies and emerging architecture in the age of network society

Nagpur Mayor Dayashankar Tiwari, on Sunday, launched Nagpur Municipal Corporation’s (NMC) door-to-door polio campaign drive. He, along with Deputy Mayor Manisha Dhawade visited Rognidan Centre in Mahal, Nagpur and inaugurated the campaign by giving polio drops to a toddler.
As per NMC officials, ten Zonal Medical Officers and Ten Health inspectors would visit every house in their respective zones, in order to vaccinate children between the ages of zero-five to immune them against polio.
NMC had recognised Sunday as the official day for polio vaccination. Under Polio Ravivar, they plan to vaccinate more than three lakh kids in Nagpur. They also urged Nagpurkars to vaccinate their children at pulse Polio Booths near their homes from 8 am- 5 pm, on Sunday.
NMC Standing Committee Chief, Corporator Vijay Zalke spoke to Nation Next regarding this campaign and said, This year’s polio drive is going to be bigger than last year. We are planning to vaccinate around 3- 3.15 lakh kids. NMC is bearing the cost of infrastructure and execution. The state government provided us with the doses.
He further stated that there were special teams to vaccinate the homeless during night. ?When it comes to the health of Nagpurkars, money is not a factor we should think about, said Zalke when asked about NMC’s current financial crunch.
As per Zalke, vaccination facility would also be available in slums,, factory areas and other outskirts of Nagpur.
Congress leader Prakash Rathod, on Friday, was caught on camera while allegedly scrolling through few adult content clips in the State Assembly. This turned out to be a huge embarrassment for both, Congress and Rathod as regional channels aired the video, in which he was ?caught in the act.
The MLC member was present in the house during the proceedings of the legislative council. While the house was in session, Rathod was watching adult content on his smartphone.
However, he threw these charges under the bus and said, I was looking for materials for a question I wanted to ask the government in question hour.
?When I was looking for question material, I deleted too many messages as my phone storage was full. What the media has shown or seen, I don’t know. I would never do such things or see such things, he added.
This was not the first time in Karnataka that such an incident had happened. Back in 2012, three Bharatiya Janata Party ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching adult content in the State Assembly. Following the scandal, they resigned from the state government due to public embarrassment.
