Dr. Neelam Gorhe said at the seminar on the novel ‘Koos’ on behalf of Sarjansheel Katta by Uchit Media
Pune : “A woman’s uterus and the various forms of exploitation associated with it are a fact. Even though the government’s policies are good, their implementation takes many years. It also adds to the wide gap between the various departments of the government and the society. Koos’s novel is useful in keeping the institutional memory of the government alive as everyone changes from commissioners to ministers. If you take the initiative to create a positive work in this regard, we will help you to the best of your ability,” said Dr. Neelam Gorhe, Deputy Chairman of Maharashtra Legislative Council.
She was giving a presidential remark in the seminar on ‘Koos: Narrative exploration of women’s survival and health’, organized on behalf of the Sarjansheel Katta by Uchit Media. Senior writer Asaram Lomte, senior writer-critic Dr. Randhir Shinde, Renowned Gynecologist Dr. Revathi Rane, Director of Vanchit Vikas Sansthan Meena Kurlekar, Director of Kesh Ayurveda Dr. Harish Patankar, Rohan Prakashan’s Dr. Pradeep Champanerkar, author of the novel Dnyaneshwar Jadhwar, Founder of Uchit Media Jivraj Chole and others were present on the occasion.
Dr. Neelam Gorhe said, Koos is a vivid story of the sad experiences of a group at the bottom of the society. The author’s powerful depiction of his experiences is the hallmark of this novel. The novel ends with Surekha, the main character, passing away. If Surekha does not go anywhere, there is no doubt that she will come in the women’s movement. But it is a big challenge to find out where Surekha is in the society.”
Asaram Lomate mentioned that Koos is a novel that evokes a hopeful present that takes it to the level of human consciousness. This novel not only raises questions but also shows the way to solve those questions. Dyaneshwar Jadhawar’s novel Koos will also bring a positive present, he added.
Dr. Randhir Shinde This novel is related to the trinity of Phad, Pishvi and Kajli. In this novel, a thorough exploration of polygamy has been taken. It presents the harsh and painful reality of women living on the periphery.
Dr. Revati Rane gave detailed information about various diseases related to the uterus. On the one hand, experiments with uterus transplantation are being successful, along with this, we should also give importance to saving the uterus. Just as we have given the slogan ‘Save the girl child’, now it is time to give the slogan ‘Save the uterus’, she urged.
Meena Kurlekar also spoke about problems related to issues. She appealed to work on the same and gave respect to every woman as human. Dnyaneshwar Jadhwar elaborated the journey about the making of the novel. Pradip Champanerkar gave opening remarks. Jivraj Chole welcomed and compared the function & also gave a vote of thanks.
