विज्ञान दिवस के अवसर पर देशभर के दस विज्ञान संचारकों को वर्ष 2018 के राष्ट्रीय विज्ञान एवं प्रौद्योगिकी संचार पुरस्कार से सम्मानित किया गया है। इस मौके पर मौजूद भारत सरकार के मुख्य वैज्ञानिक सलाहकार प्रोफेसर के. विजयराघवन  ने कहा कि “वैज्ञानिक अभिरुचि के प्रसार के लिए वैज्ञानिकों और आम लोगों के बीच की दूरियों को कम करना होगा। अगर विशेषज्ञ समाज के आम लोगों के मुकाबले खुद को श्रेष्ठ मानकर चलेंगे तो इस खाई को पाटना आसान नहीं होगा। इसके लिए हमें लोगों के करीब जाना होगा और धरातल पर उतरकर उनके साथ संवाद करना होगा।” प्रोफेसर विजयराघवन ने ये बातें इस बार राष्ट्रीय विज्ञान दिवस की थीम 'लोगों के लिए विज्ञान और विज्ञान के लिए लोग' के संदर्भ में कही हैं। इस थीम का चयन करने का उद्देश्य वैज्ञानिक खोजों को अधिकतम लोगों से जोड़ने के प्रयासों को बढ़ावा देना है। पिछले वर्ष विज्ञान दिवस की थीम ‘टिकाऊ...

इमरान की बातों पर भरोसा करना सदी की सबसे बड़ी मूर्खता होगी

एक बात हमेशा याद रखिए कि पाकिस्तान को वहां का प्रधानमंत्री नहीं चलाता, बल्कि वहां की फौज चलाती है। इसलिए इमरान खान की चिकनी-चुपड़ी बातों में जो भी आएगा, उससे बड़ा मूर्ख इस पूरे ब्रह्मांड में दूसरा कोई नहीं होगा। वहां की सेना चुनी हुई सरकारों के मनोनुकूल नहीं होने पर 1958, 1969, 1977 और 1999 में तख्ता पलट कर चुकी है। पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री जुल्फिकार अली भुट्टो को तो 1979 में फांसी तक दे दी गई थी। हमारे पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री स्वर्गीय अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी ने भी तत्कालीन पाकिस्तानी प्रधानमंत्री नवाज शरीफ को शरीफ समझकर दोस्ती की बस चलाने का फैसला किया था, लेकिन बदमाश पाकिस्तानी सेनाध्यक्ष परवेज़ मुशर्रफ ने शरीफ का तख्ता ही पलट डाला। इसलिए, इमरान की बातों में आकर पाकिस्तान की सेना पर भरोसा करना इक्कीसवीं सदी में भारत की अब तक की सबसे बड़ी भूल होगी। हमने कभी युद्ध की वकालत नहीं की, लेकिन भारत इत...

PPPs, co-operative societies, sports-bodies etc should be under RTI Act

Provisions of  RTI Act for information regarding private bodies through regulatory bodies be publicised Central government should put all Public-Private-Partnerships PPPs, sports-bodies, cooperative-societies and other such bodies affecting lives of millions to be directly under RTI Act to effectively check massive misuse of public-funds by their office-bearers. It is necessary because all such bodies approach High Courts to obtain ex-party stay-orders on CIC-verdicts declaring them under RTI Act. Retired Chief Information Commission RK Mathur in a CIC-verdict noted that Institute of Banking Personnel Selection IBPS is not a public-authority under RTI Act even though four million candidates appear every year for examinations conducted by it. Regulatory authorities like Reserve Bank o...

Poor knowledge of public-authorities result in extra-ordinary spent of resources on RTI applications transferred under section 6(3) of RTI Act to thousands of departments

Public Information Officers of many government-departments and ministries of central and state governments are wasting public-resources including needless extra-heavy spent of man-hours by transferring an RTI application to an unending chain of thousands of other public-authorities on queries of generic nature. DoPT circular dated 24.09.2010 specifically prohibits such multiple transfer of RTI application under section 6(3) of RTI Act. One such transfer through an Office-Memorandum dated 15.02.2019 was done by Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities Divyangjan of Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. It is also observed that some ministries and government-departments adopt such practice to avoid uncomfortable queries of RTI applications. DoPT should take every...

National Anti-Profiteering Authority should accept submissions for general improvements

National Anti-Profiteering Authority NAA is one of many such public-utility forums which are not known to common people. Central Government should publicise this and other such forums and helpline-websites so that more and more people may be able to take advantage of such ideal and unique features of governance-system. Rather it can be made mandatory to print details of such consumer-friendly authorities on back of invoices. But presently NAA entertains only individual complaints. NAA wrote back that it does not handle public-interest suggestions which may auto-check anti-consumer practices resulting in removing malpractice of excessive profiteering at root-level. NAA should consider such public-interest suggestions which may provide big relief to all consumers rather than NAA providing...
Central government should study of abnormal heavy discounts on on-line sale

Central government should study of abnormal heavy discounts on on-line sale

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Multi-page super-costly advertisements were seen in leading newspapers offering extra-ordinary heavy discounts on popular-branded electrical and electronics items. Even extra heavy discount is added if items are purchased through credit0-cards issued by some specific banks. Discussion with dealers all over the capital city of Delhi investing hugely for trade of these items revealed that companies sell all their obsolete models and returned items after claim lodged by consumers through such on-line sale. If it is really so, then all such media-publicity should be directed to compulsorily boldly mention about such bitter reality. Obsolete models and returned items on claim can then also be sold through dealer-network abolishing warranty-conditions and clearly mentioned on items and invoic...

WHAT NEXT WHEN GLOBALLY-ISOLATED PAKISTAN CONCEDS DEFEAT

Proceedings in Pakistani parliament with slogans of shame-shame for Pakistani prime minister following attack by India on terror-camps in PoK across loc on 26.02.2019, and confessional statement by terror-chief Hafiz Saeed make India asking Pakistan to hand over Hafiz Saeed and Masoor Ahmed to India when even United Nations has asked Pakistan to restrain from any counter military action against India. Otherwise Pakistan will have to prepare for US type action by India to finish these two known militants for which Pakistan does not require any more proof. Speeches of these two in Pakistan, and the bitter fact of getting forced release of Masoor Ahmed from Indian prison through plane-hijacking of Indian flight IC-814 to Kandhaar are more than enough evidences for Pakistan to act against thes...

Photos of a lady pilot said to have been amongst twelve IAF pilots having successfully targeted terror-camps in PoK across LoC on 26.02.2019 is roaming around in social media with name given as Urvashi Jariwala. Those playing in social media and others in print and electronic media should in larger national interest and for safety of our brave IAF pilots should follow IAF in keeping identity of those pilots secret. Even central government can take steps including with Facebook and Twitter that identity of pilots may be kept close guarded secret. However if it is true that a woman was amongst those having kept name of India high, then it is a befitting lesson for those who hate birth of girl-child in the family as bane rather than boon, making unnatural proportion of less male than femal...
Pollution in Ganga harming riverbed sediments too: study

Pollution in Ganga harming riverbed sediments too: study

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, समाचार
The excessive amounts of human waste and toxic effluents that find their way into the Ganga river are not only polluting the water but also causing deficit of dissolved oxygen in the riverbeds in some of the most polluted stretches of the river, a new study has found. Dissolved oxygen is an important parameter that determines health and rejuvenation capacity of any riverine ecosystem. The amount of dissolved oxygen in a river depends on atmospheric supply of oxygen, photosynthetic process, and oxygen-consuming metabolic and chemical processes. If dissolved oxygen falls below the threshold of 2 milligram per liter, it can lead to mass killing of fish and harm other aquatic life. Researchers measured sediment oxygen demand that includes the biological as well as chemical oxygen demandi...

Categorising CRPF personnel killed in militant-attack in Pulwana in name of freedom of expression by section of Indian media highlighted by Pakistan It is indeed unfortunate that media-persons, human-rights-activists and others are at liberty for highly objectionable categorisation of CRPF personnel killed in militant-attack in Pulwana, an aspect highlighted by Pakistani media that only some Indian urbanites are vocal against cowardly attack in Pulwana. Indian government must not allow such media-analysis in name of freedom of expression. There are sufficient provisions in Indian Penal Code to arrest such anti-national Indian media-persons. Either courts should take sue-motto cognizance of such anti-national activities, or else central government under Governor-rule should file crimi...
