This is an integral part of our plan in India as we have been working closely with local producers, farmers, agricultural cooperatives and manufacturers in an effort to promote agriculture technology amongst the agrarian society. Scientists are invited from eminent agricultural institutes and universities to serve as panel members in these camps.” The group currently works with about 90 suppliers/farmers in Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab and Haryana, directly dealing with farmers for quality production and effective supply chain management.

Judgement In Triple Murder Case
Takipur (Kurali), October 29 “The sentence has brought some solace to our souls. But the crime has wiped out families of both sides. It was a disaster. No one has gained anything out of it,” she said with a pensive stare. Amarjeet’s three sons, out of five, were killed by villagers Jagjit Singh and Baljit Singh. The FIR lodged with the Kurali police stated that when Amarjeet’s sons Ravinder and Balwinder were shot at, they had asked for water before dying. None of the villagers standing by came forward out of fear of the accused, who had vowed to kill anyone who gave water to the dying men. Kulwant was married and had a daughter and a son, while Davinder and Balwinder were unmarried. Kulwant’s daughter Harmanpreet Kaur is in class VIII now, while son Gurkirat Singh is a student of class III. While Harmanpreet has vivid memories of her father, Gurkirat has some faint memories. “He was too young then to know anything,” says his sobbing mother. Amarjeet’s husband had died barely 10 months before her three sons were killed in one of the worst cases the area had witnessed so far. “They will lose just one son (Jagjit), I have lost three. No justice can be enough. Still this sentence has given us hope and yet another reason to live,” says Amarjeet, wiping off tears from her face. Victims’ uncle Baljit Singh, complainant of the case, said: “Three lives lost, two sentenced and two families destroyed just for three kanal and 17 marlas of land.” Meanwhile, eerie silence engulfed the house of Jagjit and Baljit Singh after today’s verdict. |

She started singing at the young age of five and was admired for her melodious voice and charming personality. Bitti said she he had done her BSc (non-medical) from MCM DAV College, Chandigarh, and was a national-level hockey player. “I was not just good at studies but was deeply inclined towards sports as well. But when it comes to music, it’s my first love. I think music was God’s gift to me and since childhood, my family members and friends knew I was good at it.” She started her career with Air India Hockey Federation. It was only when she came back to her native Patiala for work, she decided to take up singing as a profession. On popularity of Punjabi music, she said: “She was glad that the Punjabi music has finally got its deserved place in the society. Many good singers are coming up and I am glad that female voices are now becoming more popular.” A die-hard fan of Lata Mangeshkar, Bitti feels that it was important to follow the culture. Bitti, who has released a number of religious cassettes as well, is all set to launch her next album in January. Throwing light on the project, she says the videos would be shot soon and the album was a mixture of versatile songs.
