COLLEGES & CED

This
July and August 2005 we at CED
hope
to establish contacts with departments of Humanities in various
colleges of Bangalore. This would cover an introduction to
CED, the services and publications and would also be a sensitization
to social and development issues.
If
you are a part of any college set up
in
Bangalore or have contacts please help us make inroads. Send
information to Veena

be in a position to access and read newspapers and journals on a

them. This
