Haryana records Rs 25,000-cr IT exports despite recession
Gurgaon, November 8 An analysis based on the figures collected by NASCOM and Export Promotion Council shows that IT exports from Haryana have recorded an increase of eight to 10 per cent as compared to the previous year. According to the analysis, the IT Industry is growing at a much faster pace in Gurgaon than the national average. In order to give a boost to the IT industry, a regional IT industry promotion office has also been set up in Gurgaon. Deputy Commissioner PC Meena said: “Gurgaon has emerged as an IT hub and there are more than 400 IT and IT-enabled services (ITES) companies operating from the district.” Big IT and ITES sector companies like IBM, Google, HCL, Wipro, Genpact, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Microsoft and Oracle etc have their units in Gurgaon and are expanding their businesses. For instance, HCL has recently established its technology hub at IMT Manesar while Bharti Airtel has set up its network experience centre there. Besides, global companies like Hughes Software, GE Capital, Silicon Graphics, Alcatel, American Express, Convergys, Motorola, Ericcson, Polaris, Sapient, Hewitt, Dell, Samsung, Aricent, Siemens, Fidelity, WNS and Accenture etc also have their units in the Gurgaon corporate belt. ITES being the fastest growing segment of the IT sector, most of the multinational companies are shifting their work requirement to outsource it from India. The Deputy Commissioner maintained that the IT policy framed by the state government was likely to give a fillip to this sector with the creation of more employment opportunities. The major incentives given to these units include relaxation in floor-area ratio, rebate on registration, transfer of properties charges and exemption under Haryana Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, he added. The analysis points out that the economic growth of Gurgaon district is estimated to reach 10 to 15 per cent during the next five years. The ending of textile quota regime, low interest rates, rapid technological changes, labour reforms were further likely to boost productivity of industries, it maintains.

The helpline was officially launched on June 29, 2012, but it took sometime for the police to get acquainted with it, but now its use was on the increase, Dabas said. The major advantage of the helpline is that people are not required to go to police station for lodging complaint as it can be done on the website itself.

Centre misusing CBI, says INLD
Hisar, November 8 He said the ‘exploitation’ of the premier agency in this manner was not only ‘wrong’, but it also had ‘demoralized’ the CBI personnel. He criticised Congress president Sonia Gandhi for declaring at a recent rally that the Congress and its leadership were not involved any type of corruption. “More than half of the ministers in the Manmohan Singh Cabinet figured in multi-lakh crore scams. They are being shielded by the Congress,” Chautala said. “However, the people of the country have seen through the Congress ways and it is bound to lose the next Lok Sabha poll,”
he said. He said Rahul Gandhi had made a call for changing the political system in the country at the same rally ‘ignoring’ the fact that it was the Congress, which had mostly ruled at the Centre since Independence. Why it could not change the system if it was so keen on doing it, he asked.

Farmers allege fleecing by millers, procurement agencies
Sirsa, November 8 A recent decision of the authorities at Kalanwali in Sirsa, which said the cotton crop of the farmers would be auctioned in tractor trolleys and then taken to ginner, who purchased the lot and weighed in his factory, had drawn flak from the farmers as well as the traders. “This is totally illegal. We have sought information under the Right to Information, which said under the Punjab Agriculture Produce Markets Act, 1961, no agriculture produce could be sold without open auction in the mandis,” Jagdev Singh, a trader in Kalanwali grain market, said. He also showed a copy of a letter by the Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board in this regard. The letter addressed to a trader Jasbir Singh, general secretary of the Kaccha Arhtiya Association, Kalanwali, who had sought this information under the RTI, said that cotton should not be directly weighed in factories. Only last week, a farmer had caught a mill owner fleecing them by weighing their cotton less by a faulty machine. Major Singh, secretary of the market committee, said the new guidelines were not legally correct, but he maintained that this had been done for the benefit of farmers. “There is a heavy rush in the mandi. So it is not possible to purchase all lots of the cotton through open auction in the grain markets,” he added. Meanwhile, farmers coming to various mandis of Sirsa with their paddy crops also allege fleecing at the hands of millers. “Government procurement agencies connive with the millers and delegate their authority to purchase paddy directly to the millers, whom the agencies hand over the paddy for custom milling,” said Santokh Singh, a farmer at Sirsa grain market. Farmers alleged that the government procurement agencies rejected farmers? crop on one pretext or the other and then the millers offered to buy the same lot at price lesser than the MSP.

Seminar on horticulture at Rewari village
Rewari, November 8 Dhanpat Singh, Financial Commissioner of the state Technical Education Department, was the chief guest on the occasion. Stressing the need of diversification in agriculture, Dhanpat Singh in his keynote address counselled the farmers to go in for horticulture, cultivation of vegetables and animal husbandry to ensure their
economic uplift. He said while diversification of crops enhanced productivity of soil, cultivation of fruits, flowers, vegetables, oil seeds, pulses and herbal plants reasonably enriched the coffers of the peasantry as well. Mentioning about the drip and the sprinkler systems of irrigation initiated by the state Agriculture Department to arrest the fast declining level of subsoil water, the Financial Commissioner exhorted the farmers to water their crops by resorting to such modes of irrigation. He said such irrigation network usually led to saving of 45 per cent of water in the Ahirwal region here, where the depth of subsoil water was comparatively intense. Deputy Commissioner CG Rajini Kaanthan too urged the farmers to branch out agriculture, while stating that the soil in the Rewari region was conducive to cultivation of fruits, flowers, vegetables and herbal plants.

Paddy growers give up conventional methods
Kaithal, November 8 Narender Singh, a former civil servant and executive director for implementing a consortium by Dunar Foods Limited, and officials of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), an agriculture-based cell of the World Bank for the welfare of farmers, visited a few villages in Kaithal and Karnal recently. Talking to mediapersons here recently, he said water scarcity had assumed global significance and this region in particular, which was known as the basmati hub of the country, had been severely affected by continuous plundering of groundwater source. He said an alarming rate of depletion of ground and surface water resource had become a matter of concern to all be it government, public or private sector and above all farmers. “Our demand in 2025 will increase by 37 per cent in respect of rice and wheat consumption, whereas our water source will reduce by 9 to 10 per cent. With this backdrop, Dunar Foods Limited in collaboration with the IFC has launched a project to tackle the emerging scarcity of water. The project is in operation since May 2012,” he said. He added that in order to have an on-the-spot assessment of work done under the pilot project at ground level, Mike Timmermans, unit manager, Netherlands Agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agricultural Innovation, Netherlands, paid a visit to villages situated on the Karnal-Kaithal road and addressed hundreds of farmers of the two districts. He laid stress on the need to conserve water by adopting water efficient technologies and create village teams to save domestic water from going waste. He appreciated the goodwill gesture of Surender Gupta, CMD, Dunar Foods Limited, for creating awakening among the farmers for adopting water-saving techniques for paddy crop. Follow the method of sowing paddy like other crops and leave the traditional methods of preparing nursery and then planting saplings, which consumed a huge quantity of water and at the same time was more expensive, he said.

Runaway couples sleep on floor at shelter home
Rohtak, November 8 “We find it difficult to manage here as there are no beds or any other furniture in the room here in which five to six couples are lodged at one time,” claimed Pawan Kumar, who came here about a week ago with his wife Poonam. He said while there was no complaint over food and security, privacy was a major issue. Manjit, another resident of the shelter home, said that the living conditions here were so poor they had to sleep on the floor with just a mat to sleep on. He said unavailability of mosquito repellants made them prone to various diseases. According to Sunit, who married Sunita recently, lodging of 5-6 couples in one room at the same time was embarrassing. He said the things could have been better if the couples were given individual rooms with some furniture as these were a part of the basic needs. The police provides free boarding and lodging with security to runaway couples initially for 10 days but it could be extended further if an application was made by the couple, claimed a police official. He, however, said that he had no information about any move to provide them shelter on a permanent basis in the Police Lines. Some of the residents have objected to the presence of such couples at Bal Bhawan. “Bal Bhavan is meant for children and not lovelorn couples, who fail to behave responsibly when the children are around,” claimed Vijay Kumar Saini, a resident of Sainipura. He said children of several localities visit the Bhawan, and it would be better if they were shifted to some other place. SSP Vivek Sharma was not available for comments.
