Acknowledgement of country

Batchelor Institute would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereign people of the lands on which our campuses are located. As we share our knowledge, teaching and learning and engage in research practices within this Institution and/or conduct business with a variety of external agencies and organisations, we must always pay respect to the sovereign status of our hosts. May their Ancestors always be remembered and honoured, their Elders listened to and respected, all members treated with dignity and fairness — in the present and well into the future.

We also acknowledge and pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever with our hosts, custodianship of country and the binding relationship they have with the land. Batchelor Institute extends this acknowledgment and expression of respect to all sovereign custodians — past, present and emerging. By expressing Acknowledgement of Country we encourage all to extend and practice respect to all First Nations people wherever their lands are located.

About this seminar:

This presentation will commence with a background to the Indian caste system, which sheds some light on how the society works to better understand the lives of people who work as sanitary workers.

The PhD was undertaken to “Study the Socio-Economic Problems of Sanitary Working Women in Vijayawada Municipal Corporation of Andhra Pradesh”. As part of the study, interviews were conducted with 300 female employees. Employees were informed of the background of the study and were given the opportunity to help their own people by participating in the interview process to give an insight into their personal socio-economical challenges etc. The study had its findings and concluded with a few recommendations to improve the lives of the female employees.

The study was inspired by the non-teaching staff that were working at the school, where Raj worked prior to arriving in Australia.
