State to recruit 30,000 teachers, says Sirsa MP
Sirsa, April 12 Tanwar was speaking at a seminar “Shiksha Vikas Goshthi” organised in the local CMK National PG Girls College recently. Representatives of primary, middle and high schools of the district, both government and private, participated in the seminar. Tanwar said the state government would spend 20 per cent of its total budget for providing quality education. He said according to a survey conducted at the national level by a voluntary organisation, “Pratham”, it was found that Haryana had more educational facilities as compared to other states. He said as compared to the budget for education for the year 2004-2005, the Central government would spend five times more on the promotion of education during the current year. The Central government has enacted the Right to Education Act and the Shakshar Bharat Mission Programme. He said the state government had initiated various schemes to provide education to students belonging to poor families. He said Central and state governments had adopted several measures to maintain transparency in all recruitments. He said under the MP Local Area Development Fund, efforts had been made to spend maximum funds on the development of infrastructure. Under this scheme, 60 schools had been equipped with computer project “Knowledge Yanta” (K-Yan) in Sirsa district. After Andhra Pradesh, Sirsa is the only Parliamentary Constituency in the country to have installed K-Yan in its schools. Deputy Commissioner J Ganeshan said a sum of Rs 56 crore had been spent on education in Sirsa during 2011-12. He said water harvesting systems were being started in 25 schools of the district to provide clean drinking water to students throughout the year.

2,217 girls of 5 govt colleges in Rohtak found anaemic
Rohtak, April 12 The astonishing facts recently came out during a survey carried out by the state Health Department under one of its pilot projects aiming at finding out the Hb level of girls studying in these colleges. Rohtak is also the home district of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. During the survey, the haemoglobin level of 6,877 girls of government colleges in Rohtak, Mehma, Lakhanmajra and Sample towns were examined after organising special camps. Though the health authorities had set a target of Hb investigation of all 8,651 students of the colleges but rest ones could not attend the camps for various reasons, sources said. Girls suffering from anaemia have been given 90 iron tablets each to raise their Hb level in next three months. Repeat Hb estimation will be conducted after three months and girls would be given a weekly IFA treatment on a regular basis, the sources said. "There is a need to tackle the problem of anaemia in a comprehensive manner to improve the health of girls so that in future they could become healthy mothers and give birth to healthy children," said a health officer. Due to anaemia, efficiency or capacity of working goes down, learning and thinking skills are also affected, he maintained. "As anaemia is considered a contributing factor to maternal mortality, there are various reasons for iron deficiency. Infections and diseases are an important factor responsible for malnutrition, particularly in children and adolescents," said an officer.

Politics, graft hamper MC functioning
Gurgaon, April 12 Ever since the establishment of the MCG in June 2008, various local residents’ bodies, social organisations and political parties had been demanding that the civic body should be run by elected representatives for efficient and effective performance. The demand was fulfilled in May 2011 with 35 municipal councillors being elected and subsequently electing a Mayor, a Senior Deputy Mayor and a Deputy Mayor to manage MCG affairs. However, nearly a year has passed since the installation of the elected representatives, but things have not moved ahead in the right direction. “On the contrary, there is an atmosphere of confusion and distrust among the municipal councillors and officials, which prevents the smooth and efficient functioning of the corporation,” says an insider. A significant factor contributing to the chaos was that the Mayor’s team --- comprising the Mayor, the Senior Deputy Mayor and the Deputy Mayor ---- came from the Rao Inderjit faction, which is at loggerheads with the state regime. On the other hand, local MLA Sukhbir Kataria, who is also a minister in the state Cabinet, owes allegiance to the CM’s camp. Hence, the corporation --- comprising the councillors as well as officials --- is a house divided between opposite loyalties. Then comes the issue of rampant corruption plaguing the corporation. A number of corporation contractors have openly alleged at house meetings that not only corporation officials, but also certain municipal councillors have demanded hefty bribes/commissions for getting work allotted to them. While several municipal councillors happen to be involved in real-estate business in some way or the other, certain others have shady track records. “Be it corporation officials or municipal councillors, all are busy furthering their vested interests, with nobody interested in matters of larger interest,” quips a dejected visitor to the MCG office. Add to this a dash of red tape prevalent in government offices and you have a perfect recipe of the ubiquitous “system” where hapless residents suffer and the authorities concerned pretend to be blissfully ignorant and/or indifferent to their woes. On being contacted for his comments on the MCG functioning, Mayor Vimal Yadav maintained that during the first three years of the corporation’s inception, officials got cut off from the needs and plight of the common man as the people’s representatives were not there to keep tabs on their functioning. The Mayor candidly admitted that politics and corruption were hampering the MCG’s performance. Citing the instance of targeting the Senior Deputy Mayor’s building for demolition, he said it was “unfair and unfortunate”. Questioned about reining in corrupt officials, Yadav asserted that complaints against such officials were being actively pursued.A vigilance probe was going on against a senior official of the level of Chief Engineer. “There have been lacunae, but we are confident of plugging the loopholes and moving forward for the all-round development of the city….I know it has taken us quite some time to reach this stage, but finally, we have managed to put things back on track,” he stated.

‘Kurukshetra crown of incredible India’
Kurukshetra, April 12 Describing Kurukshetra as the cradle of knowledge, spiritual, historical, cultural heritage, land of the Mahabharata as well as the birth place of the Bhagavad Gita, he said: “Kurukshetra is the crown of incredible India”. Commenting upon the site “Harsh Ka Teela”, he said the historical site of Kurukshetra (Sthanisvara) was the capital of Vardhana or the Pushyabhuti Dynasty who ruled over a major part of the north India. In this context, the great Sanskrit poet Banabhatta in his Harshacharita had also described the association of Harsh with Thanesar in detail, Gaur added. Gaur was overwhelmed to see the archaeological findings. Expressing his feelings regarding the oldest construction of historical monument - the Tomb of Sheikh Chilli, he said the style of its construction, the material used for it, stability of structure and existence were wonderful, beyond imagination and splendid in the archaeological parameter. Gaur also visited the Pathar Masjid on the premises of Sheikh Chilli’s tomb adjoining the “Harsh Ka Teela”. Dev Raj Sirohiwall, local District Information and Public Relations officer, who accompanied Gaur, briefed him about the history of “Harsh Ka Teela”. He also said as far as the tomb of Sheikh Chilli’s was concerned, the architectural plan had shown considerable Persian influence. It was ranked second only to the Taj Mahal in Northern India for its unique and highly sophisticated architectural value.

Gorakhpur N-plant
Fatehabad, April 12 While farmers opposing the nuclear plant are praying for its annulment, a section of the realtors, who have invested a lot of funds in anticipation of an award for Gorakhpur farmers, have been counting each passing day with anxiety. Ever since the authorities announced compensation for farmers’ land, some real estate big players started buying agriculture land in the adjoining areas. Sources said realtors, who had the financial backing of some political leaders, had agreed to purchase land in Fatehabad and Sirsa hoping to sell this at a premium to Gorakhpur farmers after they were paid for their land. “Many such realtors find them in a tight situation now as the award of compensation has been delayed much beyond their expectations and the agreed dates of sale deeds are fast approaching,” said a property consultant in Fatehabad. There has been no word from the government on this issue for the past two months ever since the authorities decided to give Rs 34 lakh per acre for the acquired land. Most of the agreements have been made at a price ranging between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 20 lakh per acre, depending upon the location. Realtors had hoped that their investment would multiply manifold as they were expecting a profit of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 15 lakh per acre by investing merely 20 per cent of the total cost in the form of earnest money. The move has hiked the rates of real estate steeply in the region. Meanwhile, Hans Raj Siwach, president of the Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, reiterated his stand of not parting with an inch of land. Sirsa MP Ashok Tanwar said the project was important for the country as nuclear energy was the only hope for the future.

Khanpur Kalan medical college fully operational
Sonepat, April 12 It has been popularly known as Rural Medicity, Haryana, because of its corporate infrastructure, state-of-the-art equipment, machinery and world-class health services provided free of cost to the poor and down-trodden patients. He claimed that the hospital has seven operation theatres, out of which four are modular operation theatres, world-class ICU, air-conditioned OPD and a fully operational blood bank. Now, it has also started a modern well-equipped library. He added that within six months after its trial run, the hospital was ready with four modular operation theatres and 20 beds for ICU and other intensive units were made operational. The ICU facilities are the biggest boon as poor and middle class people cannot afford expensive ICU patient care in private hospitals. “The minimum average expenditure of intensive bed in any private clinic ranges between Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 per day”, he added. Dr Siwach said a high-level team of the Medical Council of India (MCI) assessors had inspected the existing facilities in the institution in March. “We are eagerly waiting for the necessary permission to start admission to the first batch of the MBBS classes soon. We are confident that we may get the permission this year”, Dr Siwach remarked. Dr Siwach said any medical college has three main aims, which are patient care, research and teaching. Here, patient care and research are already in full swing and we hope that teaching will be started in July or August, once the MCI gives permission to start the first batch of MBBS. The foundation stone of the medical college was laid by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on March 1, 2009, on 100 acres. The college and hospital was built in a record time of two years by National Buildings Construction Corporation Ltd (NBCC). Bhupinder Singh Hooda is the first Chief Minister in the country in the post-Independence era, who has thought about girls medical education and built up a government medical college only for girls in India. Till date, Lady Hardinge Medical College in Delhi was the only government medical college for girls. The senior professor of Orthopaedics and medical superintendent of the PGIMS, Rohtak, Dr RC Siwach was handed over the charge of the institution on June 23, 2011. Within two and a half months, the hospital was made operational on a trial basis on September 1, 2011, and was inaugurated by Rao Narender Singh, Haryana Health Minister.

Complete ban on burning of wheat stubble
Fatehabad, April 12 Action would also be taken under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, against those burning stubble on the fields, Kaushik said. Stubble burning is not only injurious to human health due to environmental hazards involved with it, the process is also harmful for farmers as several friendly pests that save crops from harmful pests, are burnt in the fire. The heat generated by the fire also diminishes the fertility of the soil by burning micronutrients. The Punjab and Haryana High Court in a civil writ petition Captain Sarbjeet Singh verses state of Punjab and others, regarding non-burning of wheat stubble, paddy straw and dry fallen leaves, had directed the state government to take immediate remedial measures to stop burning of wheat/paddy stubble in the fields. With the wheat harvesting season just begun, the authorities have decided to get tough with those burning stubble on their fields and today’s orders are a part of the action plan.

Wheat arrivals start, procurement awaited
Jind, April 12 Over 2,000 quintals of wheat has already reached the grain market. The arrival of the wheat crop is already late due to the extended cold weather conditions. Though secretary of the market committee RK Gehlot claimed that all preparations were in place to commence the buying and lifting process, sources in the district Food and Supply Department claimed that procurement was likely to start from April 15 as the quality of the wheat was not up to the mark. The crop that has arrived so far has some moisture and as per the norms, the agencies will buy dry and well-cleaned produce only, sources said. “Not a single government official has reached the market to have a look at the wheat lot which has arrived in the market,”claimed Sandeep, a commission agent. He said the overcast sky and spell of unseasonal rain had caused anxiety among the farmers who had brought the crop to the market. The overall production of the crop was likely to go up by around 10 per cent this season as a bumper crop was expected this year, said an official. He claimed that the average yield of wheat, which was around 45.15 quintals per hectare last year, could increase by about 2 or 3 quintals this time. The crop was cultivated on around 2.15 lakh hectares in the district, which is almost the same area as last year.
