Episode 8: Directive Principles of State Policy - Work, Wages and Social Justice with Dr. Gaurang Jani

from Lokshahi Speaking · host Aditi Rindani

In this episode, we explore the Directive Principles of State Policy, the guiding values that shape how governments create laws and policies. Sociologist Dr. Gaurang Jani, retired professor with over 30 years of teaching and research experience, helps us understand how these principles aim to promote social and economic justice. Through the example of Article 39(d) - equal pay for equal work, we discuss wage inequality, challenges faced by women in the workforce, and how policies like labour laws and welfare schemes attempt to address these gaps. A conversation on dignity, livelihoods, and fairness in the world of work.Concept and Host: Aditi RindaniProduced under: The Samvidharak Fellowship by Sauhard and Azim Premji FoundationResearch and Script: Aditi RindaniProduction: Tatvam ProductionsDisclaimer:The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the interviewee/guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of the host, producers, or any affiliated partners.

Empowered by Darkness Andrea Medina Hi, I’m Andrea Medina. Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to.
