'''Pratiba Naitthani''' is an [[India]]n professor and activist. She is known for her opposition of vulgarity and violence on Indian television.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/1060822/asp/nation/story_6640028.asp|title=The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation|website=www.telegraphindia.com|access-date=2018-08-28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/HC-brings-DTH-too-under-ban/articleshow/1921192.cms?|title=HC brings DTH too under ban - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-08-28}}</ref>

==Early life==
Pratiba Naitthani was born in [[Mumbai]], India, her family is from [[Pauri Garhwal district|Pauri Garhwal]], [[Uttarakhand]]. Her father, Professor Dr. S. S. Naitthani, was a pioneer of the Hindi department at [[University of Mumbai|Bombay University]] and St. Xavier's College. Pratiba is best known for her [[Public interest litigation in India|Public Interest Litigation]] (PIL) filed in the [[Bombay High Court]] (PIL no. 1232) in 2004,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1779823/|title=Pratibha Naitthani vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 21 December, 2005|website=indiankanoon.org|access-date=2018-08-28}}</ref> against the broadcast of all adult films and programmes on television channels. Due to her efforts, even international channels had to adhere to the programming code of India. The Bombay High Court passed various orders in her PIL, compelling the private channels to follow the Indian laws.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.uttarakhand.org.uk/naithani.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928055858/http://www.uttarakhand.org.uk/naithani.php|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-09-28|title=Uttarakhand Worldwide - Kumaon and Garhwal - Pratibha Naithani|date=2007-09-28|access-date=2018-08-28}}</ref>

== Career ==
Pratiba Naitthani is currently based in [[Mumbai]], where she is an Associate Professor and Head of the Political Science Department in [[St. Xavier's College, Mumbai|St. Xavier's College]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://xaviers.edu/main/index.php/senior-faculty-of-arts|title=Faculty of Arts - Senior College|website=xaviers.edu|access-date=2019-09-24}}</ref> Besides her work as a professor and department head, she is concerned with, and works on issues related to welfare of women, children, and tribal people. In Mumbai, she is a member of the [[Reconstructive Surgery Foundation]], a voluntary organisation which offers free plastic and [[reconstructive surgery]] to economically underprivileged people. The Reconstructive Surgery Foundation primarily provides this service to children and people who have suffered burns, injuries from accidents, other physical deformities present since birth, or who are the victims of [[acid attacks]].

Over the years, the number of patients, mainly women, who required treatment for acid attacks has grown. Due to this, a doctor, Dr. Gupta, decided to focus on providing care for acid attack victims. Pratiba Naitthani has been helping Dr. Gupta on the project by offering free medical help to the victims, providing for the rehabilitation of the victims, and demanding severe punishment for the perpetrators of such crimes.

So far, the duo have succeeded in getting the punishment for acid attacks increased from an earlier punishment of 7 years of imprisonment up to 10 years. Besides the victim being entitled to Rs. 5-10 lakh compensation to be paid by the culprit, Dr. Naitthani and Dr. Gupta have been asking for a plan of rehabilitation for the victims and have made several suggestions to reduce these acid attacks. These suggestions include the idea that the sale of acid should be regulated and availability of acid should be restricted, the victims should receive job reservation as disabled (for this purpose they are suggesting that such facial deformities should be included in the list of physical disabilities, thus enabling the victims to get job reservations), free medical treatment for the victims, and stringent and faster punishments for the attacker.

She has been instrumental in taking up the issue of advertisements that depict actions which might prove fatal if copied by children, and also issues of indecent representation of women in the media.

She is also part of the struggle of tribal residents in [[Uttarakhand]] fighting for their traditional rights against the conservation policies of the state government.

She is a [[Rajasthani language|Rajasthani]] folk singer and has albums to her credit. She has been to 16 countries in the world as a cultural representative for the Rajasthani Ghoomar group. Along with the group, she conducts workshops to promote Rajasthani songs, dance and culture.

Pratiba Naitthani has been the only non-Rajasthani singer who had the honour of singing and recording the state song of the [[Udaipur]] royal family- "Mharo Vir Shiromani Des".{{Citation needed|date=October 2018}}

==Awards and Honors==
In 2000, Pratiba Naitthani was among the first 7 women who participated in the [[Nanda Devi Raj Jat]], a [[pilgrimage]] of [[Nanda Devi]] [[Parvati]] in [[Uttarakhand]]. It is held once every 13 to 16 years. Previously, women were generally not allowed to participate in this pilgrimage which is 280 km long, going up to the altitude of 17,500 feet above sea level to be completed on foot in 22 days.

She was among the 29 women selected by [[India Today (TV channel)|India Today]] in 2005 as Power Goddesses of India. Besides many awards for her contribution in the field of social service and media issues, she has been awarded the prestigious Panna Dai Award by Maharana Mewar Foundation, Udaipur for going beyond the call of duty for social service.

She has also been honoured by the Mayor of Mumbai on [[International Women's Day|International Women’s Day]] in 2007 as the "Outstanding Woman of Mumbai city".
