Silver-alloy commemorative-coins should be issued on face-value

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Silver-alloy commemorative coins for first time after independence issued on 02.10.1969 to commemorate Gandhi Birth Centenary at face-value of rupees ten at a time when value of silver-content in the coin was much lower than face-value of rupees ten. Moreover these coins and their coin-sets were issued to general public right from date of issue on 02.10.1969. But system has now been changed when face-value of silver-alloy coins is much-much less than the silver-content of the coin, evidently doing away with system of providing commemorative coins at face-value to general public. Now only coin-sets in plastic-packs in two different categories of Proof and Uncirculated categories are sold at much exorbitant price through a cumbersome booking-procedure making these reach to those having bo...

Welcome move of central government to bring Mother Dairy under RTI Act

It refers to reply in Parliament by government that it has advised National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to abide by CIC-decision 15.04.2011 upheld by single-bench of Delhi High Court by its order dated 02.02.2015 to bring Mother Dairy under RTI Act. Presently Mother Dairy has filed an appeal at Division Bench of Delhi High Court. Rather all NDDB subsidiaries should be covered under RTI Act. Most people and even public-authorities are unaware of the fact that NDDB has to provide information about its subsidiaries including Mother Dairy under section 2(f) of RTI Act with NDDB being the regulatory body for its subsidiaries. Best is to put all Public-Private-Partnerships PPPs, sports-bodies, cooperative-societies and other such bodies affecting lives of millions to be directly under RTI ...

टीबी से बचाव के लिए आईसीएमआर कर रहा है टीकों का परीक्षण

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, विश्लेषण
टीबी या क्षय रोग एक गंभीर संक्रामक बीमारी है जो मरीज के संपर्क में आने से दूसरे लोगों में भी फैल सकती है। भारतीय आयुर्विज्ञान अनुसंधान परिषद (आईसीएमआर) के शोधकर्ताओं ने अब दो ऐसे टीकों का परीक्षण शुरू किया है जो टीबी से बचाव में मददगार हो सकते हैं।  आईसीएमआर ने सोमवार को इन दोनों टीकों के परीक्षण के लिए मरीजों का पंजीकरण शुरू कर दिया है। यह टीका ऐसे लोगों को टीबी के संक्रमण से बचाने में उपयोगी हो सकता है जिनके परिवार का कोई सदस्य पहले से टीबी की बीमारी से ग्रस्त है।  टीबी के बढ़ते दायरे को देखते हुए इस बीमारी से बचाव के लिए जिन टीकों का परीक्षण किया जा रहा है उनमें से एक वीपीएम1002 है, जिसे पुणे स्थित सीरम इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ इंडिया ने बनाया है। जबकि, दूसरा टीका एमआईपी है। परीक्षण में अधिकतर ऐसे लोग शामिल होंगे जिनके परिवार में कोई सदस्य टीबी से पीड़ित है ताकि अन्य लोगों में भी संक्रमण का...

स्वर्णिम भविष्य के स्वप्न दिखाती नयी शिक्षा नीति

addtop, Today News, TOP STORIES, राष्ट्रीय
बच्चे देश का भविष्य ही नहीं नींव भी होते हैं और नींव जितनी मजबूत होगी इमारत उतनी ही बुलंद होगी। इसी सोच के आधार पर नई शिक्षा नीति की रूप रेखा तैयार की गई है। अपनी इस नई शिक्षा नीति को लेकर मोदी सरकार एक बार फिर चर्चा में है। चूंकि भारत एक लोकतांत्रिक देश है और लोकतंत्र में सबको अपनी बात रखने का अधिकार है जाहिर है इसके विरोध में स्वर उठना भी स्वाभाविक था, तो अपेक्षा के अनुरूप स्वर उठे भी। लेकिन मोदी सरकार इस शिक्षा नीति को लागू करने के लिए कितनी दृढ़ संकल्प है यह उसने अपनी कथनी ही नहीं करनी से भी स्प्ष्ट कर दिया है। दरअसल उसने इन विरोध के स्वरों को विवाद बनने से पहले ही हिन्दी को लेकर अपने विरोधियों की संकीर्ण सोच को अपनी सरकार के उदारवादी दृष्टिकोण से शांत कर दिया। लेकिन बावजूद इसके नई शिक्षा नीति की राह आसान नहीं है। इसके लक्ष्य असंभव भले ही ना हों लेकिन मौजूदा परिस्थितियों में मुश्किल तो ...
Traffic Lok Adalats in Delhi should be replaced by a common discounted pattern

Traffic Lok Adalats in Delhi should be replaced by a common discounted pattern

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, राज्य
Delhi Traffic Police with a frequency of some months holds Traffic Lok Adalats, like were held on 13.07.2019 in various District Courts scattered in different parts of capital city of India. Here all pending traffic-challans are settled on the spot on a fraction of original traffic-fine. But it all depends at discretion and mercy of judges conducting these Lok Adalats. In some cases, judges settle for amount as low as rupees fifty for same normal offence like of improper parking or jumping red light, while most others get settled fine of rupees one hundred. At times, judges settle for even increased amount exceeding normally settled rupees one hundred. Such discretionary power given to judges settling same offence with different amounts is highly unjustified. Delhi Traffic Police should i...
Daughter has no right to defame her politician father: CBI enquiry needed in Sakshi Mishra episode

Daughter has no right to defame her politician father: CBI enquiry needed in Sakshi Mishra episode

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Indian electronic media has once again shamefully put unpleasant episode of some Sakshi Mishra of Bareilly filing complaint against her MLA father from ruling BJP alleging threat to lives of herself and her husband because of inter-cast marriage. But evidences from neighbours against her husband, his love for playing with pistols, his break-up of earlier engagement and visibly being over-aged as compared to Sakshi Mishra lead about serious doubts of conspiracy to blackmail MLA father. Even the priest said to have performed the marriage has now termed marriage-certificate to be fake. It is doubted that Sakshi Mishra is continuously crying on TV channels for alleged threat from her father or being forced to speak against her father by some ones. Matter needs a thorough CBI investigation t...

It refers to state Bank of India taking initiative to do away with bank-charges for electronic bank-transfers. System should be that all requirements like Minimum Balance, interest-rates, bank-charges and other procedures may be uniform for all public-sector banks. Cover-page of pass-books should incorporate all details including even name of nominees of account-holders as submitted to the banks for convenience of account-holders so that bank-customers may not have to face problem in case of fading memory with lapse of time with account getting older. Department of Financial Services DFS and Reserve Bank of India RBI should devise common application-forms for all types of accounts to be opened in the banks including also for government savings-schemes and 7.75-percent RBI bonds.

Punjab National Bank should clear its relation with PNB Metlife

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, आर्थिक
PNB Metlife is an insurance-company using logo of public-sector Punjab National Bank, but there is absolute no clarity on exact relationship between Punjab National Bank and PNB Metlife where agents of PNB Metlife lure members of public through highly lucrative investment-offers but without giving any brochure or highlights of the offered schemes on website. It is clear that no government-saving scheme presently provides annual-interest more than eight-percent that too taxable and only for senior citizens. It is impossible that any public-sector company like PNB Metlife may provide above-referred extra-lucrative scheme. Punjab National Bank should make their relationship with PNB Metlife clear through newspaper-advertisements and prominently on their websites. In case PNB Metlife is ...
Dual drug delivery system may make heart stents safer

Dual drug delivery system may make heart stents safer

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, विश्लेषण
Medicated stents are widely used to unblock heart arteries. While the drug prevents the growth of muscle cells around the stent, it however,  retards endothelial cells necessary for healing the wound site and may result in the formation of clots. That’s why anti-clotting medications are given, which must be taken life-long; also, they come with adverse side effects.  To minimise such stent-related complications, a group of Indian researchers has developed a dual drug delivery therapy. Laboratory tests have shown that the drug combination can inhibit the growth of muscle cells and prevent clotting at the stent site. Moreover, the drugs are loaded into a flexible polymer which eliminates problems that occur during crimping and implantation of stents. Two widely prescribed lipid-lowerin...

Only branded medicines should be allowed to be sold including in Allopathic, Unani, Ayurvedic and Homeopathic fields

It is quite usual that many a times some medical-practitioners including in Unani, Ayurvedic and Homeopathic fields mix strong doses of steroids in unbranded medicines like powders and syrups in a bid to exhibit their self-acclaimed expertise in curing diseases. (I have my own bitter experience when my mother died at an early age of just 58 years on 21.08.1980 due to such daily dose of steroid-mixed unbranded Ayurvedic powder). Central government should formulate some effective remedy to overcome the problem. Even though remedy lies in banning unbranded medicines, but the step is liable to open a pathway for minting money for drug manufacturers. Best remedy is that Central government may establish its own production units for all types of medicines including Allopathic, Unani, Homeopathic ...
