लोकतंत्र के महाकुंभ पर धुंधलके क्यों?

अप्रैल-मई 2019  में संभावित लोकसभा चुनाव को देखते हुए अनेक प्रश्न खडे़ हैं, ये प्रश्न इसलिये खड़े हुए हैं क्योंकि महंगाई, बेरोजगारी, बेतहाशा बढ़ते डीजल-पेट्रोल के दाम, आदिवासी-दलित समाज की समस्याएं, भ्रष्टाचार आदि समस्याओं के समाधान की दिशा में कोई ठोस कदम नहीं उठाये गये। आज भी आम आदमी न सुखी बना, न समृद्ध। न सुरक्षित बना, न संरक्षित। न शिक्षित बना और न स्वावलम्बी। अर्जन के सारे स्रोत सीमित हाथों में सिमट कर रह गए। समृद्धि कुछ हाथों में सिमट गयी है। स्वार्थ की भूख परमार्थ की भावना को ही लील गई। हिंसा, आतंकवाद, जातिवाद, नक्सलवाद, क्षेत्रीयवाद तथा धर्म, भाषा और दलीय स्वार्थों के राजनीतिक विवादों ने आम नागरिक का जीना दुर्भर कर दिया। सरकार अब नाराज लोगों की नाराजगी दूर करने, उन्हें लुभाने एवं वोटों को आकर्षित करने के कुछ तदर्थ किस्म के झुनझुने थमा रही हैं। क्या स्वस्थ एवं...

Logic of postal-orders in denominations of rupees 10 and 20 when handling cost was about rupees forty in the year 2011-12

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, आर्थिक
It was only after revelation through RTI application that Department of Posts discontinued postal-orders in outdated denominations like rupees 1, 2, 5 and 7 because of extremely low sale-figure and high handling cost. According to an RTI response, handling cost of a postal-order was rupees 37.45 to Department of Posts alone in the year 2011-12. Handling cost for clearing-operation of banks is even extra. It is highly illogical that public-exchequer may bear such extra-ordinary loss in handling postal-orders in denominations like rupees 10 and 20. Rather it is time that higher denominations like of rupees 100, 200 and 500 may be added to avoid purchase of demand-drafts in submitting various types of fees. Government-fees below rupees 50 may either be increased or totally abolished. Or De...

It refers to recent 2018-report of Transparency International placing India at poor 78st place out of total 180 countries for Corruption-Perception-Index with score of 41, a slight improvement on last year score of 40 ranking 81st. No improvement is noted in terms of corruption even after change in regime in India in the year 2014 when India is placed in routine around 80th place even after tough steps like of currency-demonetisation. Goal of Indian government should be to touch ranking of honest countries like Denmark and New-Zealand with score of 88 and 87 respectively with New-Zealand once even getting 95 points in earlier some year. Our political rulers and bureaucrats are fond of enjoying luxurious study-tours on public-expense in national or public interest. Study-team should b...

CBDT advertisements on benami transactions: Need for voluntary compliance

It refers to advertisements in most of newspapers by Income Tax Department (Central Board of Direct Taxes) on 29.01.2019 drawing attention of public towards illegal and punishable benami transactions. Such transactions can and must be checked through voluntary compliance by members of public through strict measures replacing cash-deals to banking-transactions, which may overflow public-exchequers. Study should be done on fiscal system of such countries which are pioneer in having cashless economy with Canada leading the list with score of 6.48 out of 10. Even China is far ahead of India at 6th place with score of 5.17. Since property-deals practically have larger share of unaccounted money than that disclosed on papers, tax-laws should be simplified by providing a permanent voluntary-de...

एक जमाने में बिहार में एक लोकप्रिय नारा था “जेल का फाटक टूटेगा-जार्ज फर्नांडीज छूटेगा।” ये उन दिनों की बातें हैं जब देश में इमरजेंसी लगी थी। जार्ज फर्नांडिस पर झूठा राजद्रोह का मुकदमा लगाकर इंदिरा सरकार ने उन्हें और उनके सहयोगी लाडली मोहन निगम को जेल में ठूंस दकय था। जार्ज भले ही दक्षिण भारत से आते थे, पर बिहार उन्हें अपना मानता था और वे बिहार को अपना मानते थे । बिहार ने उन्हें तहेदिल से आदर भी दिया। उन्होंने भी बिहार को पूरी तरह अपना लिया था। वे भोजपुरी भाषा और मैथली भाषा भी मजेकी बोल लिया करते थे।  जॉर्ज साहब कई वर्षों से बीमार थे,उनकी स्मरण शक्ति भी जा चुकी थी।पर उनका अपने बीच होना एक सुखद अहसास अवश्य कराता रहता था कि अभी एक दिग्गज राष्ट्र भक्त नेता की छत्रछाया हमारे ऊपर है। उनका व्यक्तित्व सम्मोहित करने वाला था। बिखरे बाल, बिना प्रेस कियाहुआ खादी का कुर्ता-पायजामा, मामूली सी चप्पल पहनन...

New bioactive dental filling material promises to be teeth-friendly

addtop, TOP STORIES, विश्लेषण
A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technique that promises to help produce bioactive dental filling materials which will take much lesser time for formation of new bone tissues. Bioactive dental filling materials are gaining popularity as they last longer, restore minerals in teeth and slow down secondary tooth decay more effectively. Previously, a technique called melt-derived method was used. The materials were produced without crystallization and were of micron size. Now scientists have synthesized a crystallization induced, strontium-based nano-sized material using a simpler sol-gel assisted microwave method. The effect of crystallization on the product and its reactivity is the main focus of the findings. Researchers claim that compared with commercially avai...

It refers to ever-increasing rush in GB Pant Hospital run by Delhi Government at tax-money of Delhi people where majority of people coming there are from outside Delhi, because free medicines including costly ones are distributed only in hospitals run by Delhi government. Even other hospitals in Delhi run by central government including like AIIMS and RML hospital do not have such a system of providing free medicines or costly facilities like MRI and body-scanning. People coming from outside Delhi should ask their own state-governments to provide free medicines and treatments like is done by Delhi government rather than being a burden on tax-money of Delhi people. Heavy rush of people queuing up at so many counters of GB Pant Hospital (Delhi) results in counter-persons not able to have pro...

It refers to Delhi government drafting a plan to follow Supreme Court observations for preventing wastage of food and traffic-jams in marriage-functions. Delhi can reintroduce guest-control orders in emergency-era where only snacks and beverages were allowed in marriage-related functions. Such a system will auto-prevent number of guests many of whom attend marriage-functions just to enjoy lavish food. Distribution of cash-envelopes, sweet-boxes and gift-hampers should also be banned which is a forced burden on parents of brides. An estimated outlay of marriage-expenditure mentioning number of guests should also be printed on marriage-cards which should also contain details of catering-agency, tent-decorators, card-printers and event-managers.
