Pathra. Binda Pathra, Bhabani Nagar and Mahatap Nagar, near about 10-12 kms. distance from Midnapore district town,PIN Code 721149,West Bengal,India,  are the base of the temple city. Archeological Survey of India repaired the foundation of these temples. The site is not close to one another temple. Temples are small and dispersed through the villages. Once the temples were in the bank of Kansabati river  with a lower basement. Later to make the road the level of the base-field is become even and higher than that of earlier set up. The terracotta work on the wall of temples and the mud,brick,sand and organic materials used to build the heritage site is the portfolio of Bengal Renaissance. No stones are used to establish the tunnel like pathway of temple in the entrance. This place is identified ,perhaps, to avoid the tragic life of town. There is similarity in  characters of art and structure with the old temples of Coochbehar, Bankura and Nadia districts in West Bengal. The drainage system is well equipped high drain and pump set and connected to the river directly.

IOC President calls for sport free from discrimination at 6th IWG World Conference on Women and Sport

12/06/2014

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach spoke today of the leading role sport can play in advancing gender equality, during a speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 6th International Working Group (IWG) World Conference on Women and Sport in Helsinki, Finland. The Conference, taking place from 12 to 15 June, is officially supported by the IOC and has the motto “Lead the Change, Be the Change”.

Welcomed onto stage by Finnish IOC member Peter Tallberg, who was a fellow member of the IOC’s first Athletes’ Commission in 1981, the President told the audience about the progress that the IOC has made in terms of women’s participation in sport.
“Women have competed at the Games since 1900, but by London 2012 that figure was approaching parity with nearly 45 per cent of competitors being women athletes. Indeed, some of the biggest teams, Team Finland for example, had more women members than men”, he said.
“The London Games also saw another significant landmark with women competing in every sport,” he added.
Sport has been, and continues to be, a vital tool to show that another world is possible, and that role continues to this day,” President Bach told the audience. “Our central belief written into our Charter is that sport should be available to all regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or any other form of discrimination, including sexual orientation. As a sports organisation we cannot force countries to change their legislation but what we can do is give a shining example to the world of how a society based on these core beliefs should operate.”
President Bach praised the progress accomplished over the years in increasing girls’ and women’s participation on the field of play, but urged to increase the efforts of getting more women into decision-making positions:
“We must do more to bring women into sports leadership. We have seen what women can do on the field of play. We need their intellect, energy and creativity in the administration and management of sport as well.”
Read the full speech here.
Also speaking at the Opening Ceremony were the first female head of state in Finland (2000-2012), President Tarja Halonen, who is Patron in Chief and Chair of the Honorary Committee of the 6th IWG World Conference on Women and Sport; Raija Mattila, IWG Co-Chair, International Working Group on Women and Sport (IWG); Pia Viitanen, Minister of Culture and Housing, Finland; Peter Tallberg, IOC member and five-time Olympian from Finland; Sir Philip Craven, IOC member and President of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC); and Risto Nieminen, President of the Finnish Sports Confederation (Valo).

President Bach also said that while sport can help pushing for and showcasing gender rights in the world, it could not initiate the change on its own. Combatting discrimination and injustice, he said, is always a team effort.
“Sport has proven its value as an effective tool for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. To make real progress in our quest for gender equality and open access to physical activity for girls and women worldwide, we need close collaboration with governments, educational institutions, the private sector and civil society at all levels.”
IOC Executive Board members and Olympians Anita DeFrantz and Claudia Bokel are also on the programme to talk about the topics of “Leading the Change in Sports Policy” and “Sport without Fear”, respectively.
Prior to the Opening Ceremony, President Bach held separate meetings with the President of the Republic of Finland, Sauli Niinistö, and with the European Commissioner for

Education

, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, Androulla Vassiliou. Read more related facts and figures here.
