Pogal celebrations at vit

Pongal festival celebrations in vit university was a sight to behold as students from all walks
of life stood united and embraced the festival as their own. Telugu students sang tamil folk
songs ,Chinese students cooked Pongal while African students danced to the tunes of tharai
and thappattai(percussion instruments ). This was the scenario of the Pongal festival
organised by VIT Universitys Pavendhar Bharathidasan Tamil Mandram on 13 jan
( Tuesday).The day was abound with various events such as silambatam,karagattam,
poikaal kuthirai, kokaliyattam . moreover , tamil songs were also sung by the students. An
exhibition of ancient Tamil literature, ancient coins and ancient literary works grabbed eye
balls and was the centre of attention. Vit University Chancellor
Dr G vishwanathan , vice presidents G.V. Selvam & Mr. Sekar viswanathan , Graced the
occasion with their presence and were felicitated with parivattam(turbans). The chancellor
symbolically stirred the pongal in a pot. Student welfare director Dr. K. Kannabiran and SSL
Director John Sundar David also took part in the festivities. Thousands of VIT University
students from different states of India and other countries participated in the Pongal Festival
celebrations organised by Pavendar Bharathidasan Tamil Ilakkiya Mandram of the VIT. The
celebrations were held at the university campus on Monday.
The festival, particularly celebrated in the state of Tamil Nadu, is to thank the farmers, their
cattle and the Sun god, for helping out produce good yields. The festival in Tamil Nadu is
celebrated on the first day of the Tamil Month Thai, every year, after the farmers complete
harvest.The festival in VIT University is celebrated before the birth of the Tamil month Thai,
due to the ensuing three-day holidays for the said festival. There is one more reason for
celebrating the festival in the university - to involve all the students in this colorful and
culturally rich festival.
"Students who are from 45 different countries with varied cultures and languages who are
not aware of the importance of the festival are involved in the celebrations and get to know
more about this wonderful Tamil festival," said a professor of the university.
A B.Tech student celebrating the festival said that had been celebrating the festival with
various students for the fourth year.
"Since time immemorial farmers had been working hard without considering their own
welfare. This is a farmers' celebration popularly called Pongal festival," said Dr Viswanathan.
He wished for the festival to continue at the university every year.
Folk arts and rural sports of Tamil tradition like karagattam, silambam, playing of tharai and
thappattai, oiyelattam, bharatha natayam, procession on bullock carts, roping sports, uriyadi
and carnatic music were some of the events that were organized in the university.
In addition, female students from different states, and several foreign students cooked
Pongal dishes under the sun from conventional ovens.

2)DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A TORT (AS A CIVIL WRONG) AND A CRIME

According to Blackstone, wrongs are divisible into two sorts or species, private wrongs and public
wrongs. The former are an infringement or deprivation of the private or civil right belonging to
individuals, considered as individual and are thereupon termed civil injuries. The later are breach
and violation of public rights and duties which affect the whole community therefore harsh action
is provided against wrongdoer.
Since tortuous wrong is a civil wrong therefore aggrieved person himself files the case against the
wrongdoer. However in case of criminal Offence State prosecutes the accused. As far as the
remedy is concerned, in tort, wrongdoer compensates the victim by paying him damages for the
loss suffered due to violation of his legal right.
While, in criminal wrongs, wrongdoer is punished by the state. Mostly it consists of corporeal
punishment against the accused. But in some exceptional cases as provided U/S 357, Cr. PC 1973,
a criminal court may also direct the accused to pay compensation to the
aggrieved parties in suitable cases.
Similarly, in civil law also, detention may be made out as in case of execution of decree under the
Civil Procedure Code. As for example, if a person disobeys an injunction of the court, he may be
punished with imprisonment in civil proceedings.
Sometimes a single act may result in tort as well as in crime. Under these circumstances,
remedies are available concurrently. The wrongdoer may be held punishable for criminal wrong
and may also be ordered to pay compensation.
For example, A digs a ditch on the public road resulting in inconvenience to the public at large.
Here A has committed the crime of public nuisance. If a passerby falls into the ditch, A will be
deemed to have committed the tort of private nuisance as well. Thus here A will be liable under
civil as well as criminal law.
A Civil Wrong refers to a wrongful act that infringes the private rights of an individual.
A Crime, in contrast, is an act that violates the rights of society or the public as a whole. It is
considered as an act that threatens or disrupts the peace and order of a society.
A Civil Wrong typically constitutes non-criminal acts and includes torts, such as negligence,
breach of contract or breach of trust.
Murder, arson and robbery are examples of a Crime.
If a party is convicted of committing a Civil Wrong, he/she will have to pay compensation by
way of damages.

 In contrast, a person convicted of committing a Crime will be punished by way of

imprisonment.
TORT:
1)Duty Of Care - It is important to know in what circumstances one person will owe a duty of care
to another. According to the lecture notes, a duty of care is actually a legal obligation imposed on
an individual requiring that they adhere to a standard reasonable care while performing any acts
that could foreseeably harm others.
2)Negligence - The tort of negligence is concerned with certain kinds of careless conduct which
cause damage or loss to others. It is a tort that depends on the existence of a breach of duty of
care owed by one person to another person.
3)Breach Of Duty Of Care - After establishing the existence of a duty of care, the claimant must
show that the duty has been broken. The test for deciding whether there has been a breach of
duty is whether the defendant has failed to do what a reasonable person would have done .A
reasonable person is an average person that does not foresee every risk. So, if no duty is owed
then there is no negligence lawsuit.
4)Damages - After establishment of a duty and a breach of that duty, in a negligence case the
claimant must have a loss or injury to recover. The prerequisite is important if a defendant is
unable to deny his negligence, but the claimant suffered no injury as a result. In such a case the
defendant will not be found liable. Loss or injury can vary from case to case. It may be a physical
injury, it may be property damages, or in some instances it may be the suffering of emotional
distress. So, to recover the lost, it will be replaced with damages which also mean monetary relief.
5)Causation - In a claim for negligence, the claimant must establish not only that he was owed a
duty of care, and that the defendant was in breach of that duty, but that the breach was the cause
of the injury or loss he suffered. Thus, it is reasonable for the defendant should compensate the
claimant for that loss or damage.
6)Conversion the act of someone taking another persons property and converting it to his
own use. This is also known as stealing in many jurisdictions.
7)Trespassing the act of using or occupying another persons real property without
permission.
8)Battery the illegal act of harmful or offensive contact with another persons body. The word
comes from the term to batter and it covers an array of activities including firing a gun at
someone or using the hands to cause harm to another person.
9)Assault an intentional act creating in another person apprehension or fear of being harmed.
Assault is carried out by threat of causing bodily harm, together with the victims perception that
the aggressor has the ability to cause harm.
10)Intentional Emotional Distress the act of causing mental anguish to another person
through outrageous conduct, injury, or other harm.

11)False Imprisonment act of holding someone against their will without legal authority.
According to the law, a citizen is not allowed to restrict the movement of another person without
his consent. Business owners can, however, detain people suspected of shoplifting.
12)Fraud the act of intentionally deceiving a person or entity for the purpose of monetary
gain.
