RED SEAT COVERS!

First what's with the red covers? Someone remarked "CED is asserting its colours". We have fixed the chairs and stools so that the springs no longer poke you, and you now have two inches of padding!!

HAPPY TOPICS

In order to encourage reference, CED involves students with free reference on topics designated by CED as "happy" topics. Another way is to give a cash incentive on the best assignments. The two topics, for which CED is offering free reference are:

Increasing Communalism in Daily Life
Manufacturing Consent on the New Economic Policy

For more details, look at: http://www.doccentre.net/announcements/happy_topics.htm

NEW SCHOLARSHIPS

CED has instituted ten scholarships for the ten best assignments done by undergraduate students as part of their course in the year 2004-2005.

For more details look at: http://www.doccentre.net/announcements/best_assignment.htm

We also have other scholarships for students as well as activists and professionals, for which you can visit http://www.doccentre.net/announcements/outreach-1.htm

DOSSIERS ON CITY ISSUES

As part of a project with Bombay Community Public Trust, CED has compiled eight dossiers on different issues relating to Bombay. The purpose of the collection is to provide teachers and students background and perspective information as well as bibliographies on issues like Booming Bombay, Hawkers, Urbanisation.

Other topics that have been covered ? Urban Poverty, Slums, Housing, Civic Amenities, Transport, Urban Environment and Privitisation.
