On the Occasion of The Golden Jubilee Year Celebrations of Bharati Vidyapeeth, Pune
Organized by
Department of English, Bharati Vidyapeeth University Yashwantrao Mohite College, Pune (India)
The Department of English, Bharati Vidyapeeth University Yashwantrao Mohite College, Pune (India) is organizing a two-day International Conference at Yashwantrao Mohite College, Pune, India from 13th and 14th February, 2015.
About the conference: Marginalization and Indian English Literature
Marginalization is social disadvantage and relegation to the fringe of society. It is a term used widely in the United Kingdom and Europe, and was
first used in France. It is used across disciplines including education, sociology, psychology, politics and economics. It is also called social
exclusion.
Social exclusion is the process in which individuals or entire communities of people are systematically blocked from rights, opportunities and
resources that are normally available to members of society and which are key to social integration.
The resulting alienation or disenfranchisement is often connected to a person's social class, education status, relationships in childhood and
living standards. It also applies in varying degrees to people with a disability, minorities, fair sex, to the elderly, and to youth. Anyone who
deviates in any perceived way from the norm of a population may become subject to coarse or subtle forms of social exclusion.
The outcome of social exclusion is that affected individuals or communities are prevented from participating fully in the economic, social, and
political life of the society in which they live. Material deprivation is the most common result of this exclusion. Ensuing poverty, emotional and
psychological trauma, and its resulting diseases may result in catastrophic damage to lives, health, and psyche.
Marginalization is a multidimensional process of progressive social rupture, detaching groups and individuals from social relation and institutions and
preventing them from full participation in the normal, normatively prescribed activities of the society in which they live.
One model to conceptualize social exclusion and inclusion is that they are on a continuum on a vertical plane below and above the 'social horizon'.
According to this model, there are ten social structures that impact exclusion and can fluctuate over time: race, geographic location, class
structure, globalization, social issues, personal habits and appearance, education, religion, economics and politics.
In an alternative conceptualization, social exclusion theoretically emerges at the individual or group level on four correlated dimensions: insufficient
access to social rights, material deprivation, limited social participation and a lack of normative integration. It is then regarded as the combined
result of personal risk factors (age, gender, race); macro-societal changes (demographic, economic and labor market developments, technological
innovation, the evolution of social norms); government legislation and social policy; and the actual behaviour of business, administrative
organizations and fellow citizens.
Marginalization at the individual level results in an individual's exclusion from meaningful participation in the society. More broadly, many
women face social exclusion. Today, women are still marginalized from executive positions and continue to earn less than men in upper management positions. Another example of individual marginalization is the exclusion of individuals with disabilities from the labour force. Some intellectuals and thinkers are marginalized because of their dissenting, radical or controversial views on a range of topics, including HIV/AIDS, sex climate change, evolution, alternative medicine, green energy, or third world politics.
This conference is expected to serve an interdisciplinary forum for intellectual deliberations, constructive discussions and positive
conclusions about the theme of the conference. It will highlight the need of such study and its contributions to literary development.
Further, the conference will serve as the platform to new generation thinkers to share their views and experiences.

The Organizers: Bharati Vidyapeeth:
Bharati Vidyapeeth is the parent organization of Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University; Pune is one of the largest educational organizations in the
country having various colleges, schools, institutes of higher education and research imparting education in a large variety of academic programmes. Dr. Patnagrao Kadam, the founder of Bharati Vidyapeeth and Chancellor of BVDU, laid the foundation of this historic institution in 1964 with an objective of 'Social Transformation through Dynamic Education' which is the driving force of Bharati Vidyapeeth. As an educational institute of international repute, Bharati Vidyapeeth has been doing the momentous work by enhancing the accessibility of higher education, making available to different sections of population on its way to the proposed Golden Jubilee Celebrations this year. Bharati Vidyapeeth has now grown up as one of the largest educational organizations in the country having 67 colleges of liberal and professional education with 67 colleges of liberal and
professional education with 73 schools of Marathi and English medium. The Campuses located at Kadegaon (Sangli)and at Jawhar, the tribal area in Thane district, which are totally devoted to welfare and all round progress of the weaker sections of the society speak volumes about the social commitment of Dr.Patangrao Kadam. Since 2006, Dr. Vishwajit Kadam has been leading this institution in his capacity as the Secretary of Bharati Vidyapeeth.
The Year 2014-15 marks the Golden Jubilee Year of the establishment of Bharati Vidyapeeth. Hence we propose to have this seminar as a part of the Golden Jubilee Year Celebrations.
Bharati Vidyapeeth University:
It was one of the most glorious moments in the life of Bharati Vidyapeeth when the Government of India on the recommendations of University Grants Commission, accorded the status of 'Deemed to be University' to a cluster of 12 colleges and thus the Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University started functioning in April 1996. The number of constituent units has gone gradually increasing and now it is as large as 29. They include colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Nursing, Pharmacy, Engineering, Architecture, Law, Management, Environment, Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Bio Technology, Arts, Commerce, Science and Social Sciences.
During a short period of 16 years there has been continuous increase in the number of programmes offered by the university. In all, we offer 200
programmes. The University presently having 800 overseas students on its roll. In appreciation of our efforts, the NAAC(Bengluru) has Accredited and Re-accredited our University successively with prestigious "A" grade.
Yashwantrao Mohite College:
Our college has very unique place in the organizational set up as it is with this college in the year 1978 Bharati Vidyapeeth entered into the field of
higher education. Possibly it is one of the first few colleges in India which preferred to become part of any Deemed University and established an
