In vitro fertilisation on the rise in Ambala
Ambala, February 4 If the data collected by the Jindal IVF and Sant Memorial Nursing Home, a Chandigarh-based health centre, is any indication, the number of couples adopting this technique has risen from 707, who were treated for infertility in 2005, to 1,106 in 2011. Dr Umesh Jindal from Jindal IVF and Sant Memorial Nursing Home said due to the rising age of marriage and work-related stress, many couples were facing fertility issues nowadays. The nursing home had been receiving over 30 such cases from Ambala itself every month. She said till date the centre had been able to deliver 500-600 children through this technique. Dr Swati of the nursing home said they had been successfully conducted delivery of babies of three sisters who were born without ovaries through the IVF in which female eggs were donated by their family members and the embryos developed through the IVF method were planted in the uteruses of three sisters who later delivered healthy babies. She said a 30-year-old man with blocked passage to the testes and another 28-year-old executive with little spermatogenesis in one of the testes, succeeded in fathering two heathy babies. This, she said, was achieved through the intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) where sperms were directly taken from the testes and utilised to fertilise the ovum through the IVF. Dr Aditi, another physician from the centre, said young couples leading a hectic life while working in corporate sectors were increasingly becoming victims of infertility and this coupled with delayed marriages and late family planning were other reasons behind the growing rate of infertility in addition to other medical or congenital reasons. She said egg donation was also becoming a common practice in the district in which female eggs were provided by a woman to the mother who could not produce the same. Dr Aditi said the donated eggs were then used for the purpose of assisted reproduction through in vitro fertilization in which the eggs were first fertilised in the laboratory and then transferred inside the mother’s uterus. Dr Umesh said even those women who suffer from turner syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality in which X chromosome is missing in the body, could also bear a child with this technique.

Children playfully board train, reach Madhya Pradesh
Rewari, February 4 The story of hapless separation of Kajal and her two cousins, Sajan, six-year-old son, and Poonam (7), chidren of her uncle, Surjan, from their parents, residing in slum dwellings in Indira Colony, near the railway station here, began on July 28, 2007, when the three children playfully boarded a train at the station, which took them to Satna town in Madhya Pradesh to the utter unawareness of their parents. Thereafter while the failure of the police to trace the whereabouts of the missing children disappointed the parents to such an extent that they lost all hope of meeting their children again, the Government Railway Police of Satna entrusted Kajal and Sajan to the Child Line Society, an NGO, that took good care of them, whereas Poonam was taken to an undisclosed place by some unknown resident clandestinely. The prolonged efforts to seek restoration of the two children with their parents made persistently by the society recently gained success when Kajal started blurting out hints regarding their association with Rewari. Consequently the director of the society conveyed such information to the Satna police which, in turn, gathered a report from the Rewari police about the disappearance of the three children from here in 2007, following which two functionaries of the society brought Kajal to Rewari on January 31. They met SSP Bharti Arora in her office here where the parents instantly and delightfully hugged their long-lost daughter, Kajal. Simultaneously at the time of filing of this report, preparations were on to bring Sajan back to Rewari.

Emotional Quotient 'important' for success
Yamunanagar, February 4 He interacted with students on the topic “DNA of Success” and said in management subject DNA means “the building blocks”. He said along with IQ, the “emotional quotient” (EQ) is also important for achieving success in life as with the help of EQ one should know how to control their emotions and decide their limits. Colonel Rana said countries like India and Egypt, which are around 2,000 years old, are poor whereas countries like Japan, Canada and New Zealand, which are just150 years old, were rich. The reason for the same was these countries follow ethics. They know their social responsibility. Even there was no corruption at the lower level in these countries. Director, Yamuna Group, Dr Sarvjeet Kaur, said students could gain a lot while interacting with speakers like these and could learn from their experiences to achieve success in life.

E-leaf technology on farmer’s doorstep
Ramgarh (Karnal), February 4 Prof Wim said by using e-leaf technology, farmers could have access to current, accurate and detailed data facts through satellite through PI mapping (pixel intelligent mapping), which was a smart pixel that contained a series of components on updates on biomass productivity, CO2 intakes, leaf area surface, actual evaporation mm/week, nitrozen availability kg/hq, yield of different crops
kg/hq. In all, there are around 50 different components on which daily and weekly update was possible through pixel monitoring on account of changes taking place on crops, which could be used by farmers directly to overcome anticipated loss and farmers could reduce water consumption as well. Satellite imagery would be available on weather, wind, temperature, humidity, evaporation, and precipitation data also, which will be handy from a farmer’s point of view. Wim, head of water advisory for south Asia, said that e-leaf founder had come to this region to see the ground realities and this new technology would go a long way to facilitate farmers and was likely to spread its wings in this part of the globe. Narender Singh, E-Director, Dunar Foods, and responsible for looking after a water-saving project under the aegis of dunar-ifc (international finance corporation) said e -leaf’s interface with farmers in their villages was arranged to make farmers understand the technology. “It has been our endeavour to save ground water, depleting at a fast speed, by spreading awareness and providing water-saving technology in farmers' field such as laser leveller, dry direct seeded rice and happy seeders to save water and environment as simultaneous harvesting of crop and seeding of next crop and other multiple cereal crops will be possible." Sustainability in water use in agriculture has emerged as a major problem and challenge and it was high time to adopt water and environment-efficient technology to protect water for the coming generations, he added.

Publicity workers get tips on communication skills
Gurgaon, February 4 Addressing the participants, Narwal said the Department of Information, Public Relations and Cultural Affairs of Haryana played a significant role in publicising the policies and programmes of the state government. "It acts as an important link between the government and the people as on the one hand, it informs the people about the government policies, and on the other hand, it also gives feedback to the government about the response of the people," he maintained. Narwal observed that the field functionaries of the department, especially the folk-media units, had artistes having a natural talent of forming songs on the spot and singing these at public functions. They are also gifted with the art of public speaking, which is necessary to behold the public in large gatherings. He pointed out that even in the present-day era, when modern musical instruments were prevalent, the folk media had not lost its importance. The traditional music with age-old instruments still leaves a remarkable impact on the listeners. Narwal reaffirmed that the folk-media units of the department were useful in dissemination of information about policies and programmes of the government as they interact with the villagers in their own dialect so that they can grasp it easily. "As the literacy rate in rural areas is still not so high, these field functionaries are an important medium to publicise the achievements of the state government," he added. Earlier, the Chairman of the Swatantrata Senani Samman Samiti, Haryana, Hari Ram Arya, who had also served in the department in the1950s, recalled that preachers were held in high esteem in the villages and they were seen as persons who had vast knowledge. He advised the field functionaries of the department to guide the villagers about whom to contact for the redress of their problems as many villagers still have little knowledge about where to go and who to contact to get their day-to-day problems solved. Dr Kuldeep Saini, Deputy Director (Administration) at the Department of Information, Public Relations and Cultural Affairs, who had arrived from Chandigarh headquarters, said the songs prepared during the workshops organised in all four divisions would be published in the form of a book and distributed amongst the Bhajan parties and Block Publicity Workers for effective publicity of the achievements of the government. He advised the artistes to publicise the policies of the government while entertaining the listeners. He noted that the field functionaries of the department enjoyed a good reputation among the villagers and are considered good agents of the government. "They should not only have knowledge of the achievements of the government, but should also be able to tell about the developmental works going on in their adjoining areas," he maintained. Former Joint Director of the department Ram Kumar cautioned that publicity workers should be careful in choosing the words for their songs and ensure that these should not hurt the feelings of any community or religion. Former DIPRO Ranbir Singh Dahiya apprised the participants on how to reach to the maximum number of people. A Lecturer in music, Lokesh, not only told them about finer points of music but also offered help to the field functionaries in composing new songs. Gurgaon District Information and Public Relations Officer RS Sangwan summed up the activities taken up during the workshop and proposed the vote of thanks. He said experienced persons from various walks of life were invited to the workshop to interact with the participants. "More than 50 new songs based on different welfare policies and programmes of the state government were prepared during the workshop." he added.

Fatehabad. He said owing to the development-oriented approach of the Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Haryana had attained number one position in the country in several areas.

DSGMC poll results a big jolt for HSGPC factions
Karnal, February 4 The rival HSGPC, headed by Jagdish Singh Jhinda and Didar Singh Nalvi, had vigorously campaigned against the candidates backed by the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) in the DSGMC poll and were hoping that the victory of the SAD (Delhi), headed by Paramjit Singh Sarna and backed by the Congress, would strengthen their case for a separate SGPC in
Haryana. However, the Delhi sikhs ended the 11-year reign of the Sarna group as the SAD (B) got 37 out of 46 seats and Sarna himself lost by a huge margin of 4,454 votes. The defeat of the Sarna group has a wider repercussions for the HSGPC as Paramjit Singh Sarna was a vocal supporter for a separate SGPC in Haryana and had participated in the sikh sangat at Karnal on September 8, 2008, which chalked out a programme of action for launching an agitation. Jhindha and Nalvi had gone to Delhi with their supporters to canvass for the SAD (Delhi) candidates but their support failed to save the "sinking ship" of the Sarna group. Both the factions of the HSGPC were completely routed during the SGPC polls in September 2011 and Jhinda and Nalvi were also humbled in the elections. The defeat of the Sarna faction and resounding victory of the Badal group has proved that the Akali Dal (Badal), supported by the BJP, has been able to make inroads into the strongholds of the Sarna group. However, Jhinda said the wrong policies of the Congress had damaged the prospects. Both the factions claimed that the results had no bearing on their agitation for a separate SGPC and their struggle would continue.
