Probe those getting agriculture-loans in multi-croes at subsidized interest-rate of four-percent per annum

Former Central Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi in his facebook-post has made shocking revelation said to have been obtained under RTI Act and published in a social media that every year from 2010 to 2016 about 700 people were given total agricultural-loans of about 60000 crores every year with an average of about rupees 90 crores per individual every year on a highly subsidised nominal rate of just four-percent per annum. This is just a mockery of economy where ultra-rich are getting tax-exemptions in name income from agriculture, and such heavy loans at highly subsidised rate of just four-percent per annum. It may not be surprising if some of these might have availed loan-waivers granted in name of agricultural loans. There must be a limit of loans sanctioned by banks in name ...
Relevance of Rotary’s ‘Four Way Test’

Relevance of Rotary’s ‘Four Way Test’

Rotary International is ideally known for being a service-club with motto ‘Service above Self’ having a four-way test ritually read at start of meeting in Rotary Clubs world-wide. But it seems that with change of times, this four-way test is losing its shine when many Rotarians are themselves a failure when put to this four-way test. Many Rotarians especially from ultra-rich elite category are crossing all limits of decency in Rotary events overlooking difference between entertainment and vulgarity. Rotary clubs in India have become societies to exhibit and compete in richness. There are Rotary Clubs in India which have even turned intellectual regular meetings into whisky-parties to ensure adequate attendance in front of gust-speakers. Sensible Rotarians are mute spectators to all such...

Earlier also way back in 2015, leading aircraft-manufacturer Airbus Industry (France) had announced investing $ two-billions in India for manufacture of aircraft-parts. India is largest consumer-base after China and can devise ways so that global manufacturing-giants may be forced to set up manufacturing-units in India if they desire their brand-names being ...

भारतीयों के भोजन में कम हो रही है जिंक की मात्रा

addtop, EXCLUSIVE NEWS, समाचार
जिंक सूक्ष्म पोषक तत्वों में शामिल एक प्रमुख घटक है जो मानव स्वास्थ्य के लिए बेहद जरूरी है। लेकिन, कुपोषण दूर करने के प्रयासों के बावजूद भारतीय आबादी के भोजन में जिंक की मात्रा लगातार कम हो रही है। भारतीय और अमेरिकी शोधकर्ताओं के एक नए अध्ययन में यह बात उभरकर आयी है। वर्ष 1983 में भारतीय लोगों के आहार में अपर्याप्त जिंक के सेवन की दर 17 प्रतिशत थी जो वर्ष 2012 में बढ़कर 25 प्रतिशत हो गई। इसका अर्थ है कि 1983 की तुलना में वर्ष 2012 में 8.2 करोड़ लोग जिंक की कमी का शिकार हुए हैं। जिंक के अपर्याप्त सेवन की दर चावल का ज्यादा उपभोग करने वाले दक्षिण भारतीय और पूर्वोत्तर राज्यों, जैसे- केरल, तमिलनाडु, आंध्र प्रदेश, मणिपुर और मेघालय में अधिक देखी गई है। इसके पीछे चावल में जिंक की कम मात्रा को जिम्मेदार बताया जा रहा है। जिंक शरीर की प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली को मजबूत बनाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका...

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, समाचार
A new study has shown that availability of essential drugs for treatment of childhood cancers was well below the World Health Organisation (WHO)-prescribed standards in both public and private sector pharmacies even in the national capital, Delhi.

The situation was, however, somewhat better in private hospitals over public hospitals and private retail pharmacies. Private hospitals recorded availability of 71 per cent, while public hospitals reported 43 per cent and retail pharmacies 38 per cent.   The study has...

वैज्ञानिकों के एक समूह ने भारतीय पुरुषों में बांझपन के लिए  जिम्मेदार आनुवंशिक कारकों का पता लगाया है जो पुरुष बांझपन से जुड़ी परीक्षण विधि विकसित करने में मददगार हो सकते हैं। पुरुषों में पाए जाने वाले वाई क्रोमोसोम (गुणसूत्र) में कई जीन होते हैं जो शुक्राणुओं के उत्पादन और उनकी गुणवत्ता में भूमिका निभाते हैं। वाई गुणसूत्रों में ये जीन्स किसी वजह से विलुप्त या नष्ट होने लगते हैं तो वृषण संबंधी रोगों का खतरा बढ़ जाता हैं। ऐसे में शुक्राणु उत्पादन में कमी होने लगती है जो अंततः पुरुषों में बांझपन को जन्म दे सकती है। यूरोप और अन्य देशों के जनसंख्या समूहों में वाई गुणसूत्रों पर जीन्स विलुप्ति के सटीक स्थानों की जानकारी पहले से है। अब, हैदराबाद स्थित कोशिकीय एवं आणविक जीवविज्ञान केंद्र (सीसीएमबी) के वैज्ञानिकों ने भारतीय आबादी में वाई गुणसूत्रों में जीन्स के विलुप्ति से जुड़े क्षेत्रों का...
Modi-interview with Akshay Kumar

Modi-interview with Akshay Kumar

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to much talked-about TV interview of Prime Minister Narender Modi with film-star Akshay Kumar which though being non-political yet gave a big political signal in case of need where Prime Minister was in full praise for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee for personal cordial relations between them to the extent that Mamta Banerjee still now regularly sends Bengali kurtas and sweets to Narender Modi. Otherwise political bitterness between the two is evident from their speeches in rallies for poll-campaigns. Unfortunately such artificial public-exhibition of political bitterness tends to create personal bitterness between supporters and cadres of politically rival politicians. Time has come to induce a touch of cordiality in poll-campaigns and in Parliament between politic...
