Do we really need to Control our Population Growth?

The country is debating about rising population and its effects on resources and development. It is worth noting here that the then ruling Congress party faced a dramatic and eye-opening defeat in 1977 general elections in which the harsh and heavy-handed implementation of forced sterilization programme during the Emergency (over 8 million people were sterilized in a span of 2 years) not only became a huge issue but also played a considerable role in deciding the outcome.

Top Story

Public discourse in India once again occupied by the debate on population control rather than focusing on the economy. On the World Population Day, July 11, 2021 UP CM Yogi Adityanath unveiled a new policy on population control with an aim to bring state’s birthrate from 2.7 per 1000 to 2.1 by 2026 and 1.9 by 2030. The policy promotes two-child norms, violation which would mean people will be debarred from contesting local body’s elections, applying for government jobs or receiving benefits of the government welfare schemes.

Assam, too, proposed a similar population control policy when state CM Mr. Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that his government will gradually incorporate the twochild norm for people to avail government benefits.

As a result, the country is debating about rising population and its effects on resources and development.

came a huge issue but also played a considerable role in deciding the outcome. Ever since those times, the population control seemed to have become a taboo subject in national discourse.

The renewed focus on population debate brings us face-to-face with many questions that demand fresh answers. Are UP and Assam only states have taken or proposed coercive measures to control the population growth? Is India still experiencing population explosion? Does India require an aggressive population control policy? Are there alternative viewpoints to look at the entire issue? Let’s look into some of the questions.

Population Explosion?

m In 2019, the UN Dept. of Economic and Social Affairs revised its World Population Prospects and said that at the current growth rate, India’s population will surpass China’s by 2027 to become the world’s populous country. It further said that India’s population would peak in 2059 and thereafter begin declining.

However, the figures show that the country is already moving towards population

stabilization.

m The 2018-19 Economic Survey of India states that population growth rate has been slowing down in recent decades.

It mentions that the population growth rate of 2.5% annually during 1971-81 has come down to 1.6% during 2011-16. m More significantly, states such Bihar, UP, Rajasthan and Haryana that were infamous for their large population at one point, are now experiencing deceleration in population growth.

m According to the census, the country has witnessed a significant decline in the TFR from 3.6 to 2.4 between 1991 and 2016. (A fertility rate of 2.1 is approx. figure indicating population stabilisation)

m 28 out of 36 states/UTs have already achieved the replacement level fertility of 2.1 or less.

Therefore, one can say that now India’s population is not exploding. However, huge disparity in terms of population growth rate and TFR among states needs to November 15, 2021

theasianchronicle.com

be taken care of. Six states, UP, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and MP, which account for roughly 40% of India’s population, require special attention to slow down their population growth.

Coercive Methods

State-sponsored population control has a long and contentious history in India. In 1951, India became the first developing nation to introduce the National Family Planning Programme with the aim of controlling the country’s population growth rate.

However, a punitive approach to population control has always been cross-examined. Limiting the number of children often leads to rapid increase in sex-specific abortions and divorce. This is the reason why experts warn against a coercive two-child policy which can increase female foeticide and further destabilize sex ratio. Men divorce their wives to run for local body polls and families give up their children for adoption to avoid disqualification.

China’s Example

November 15, 2021

China’s example, too, could be an eyeopener for India. During economic reforms, China brought in and rigorously followed a strict one-child policy. The studies have revealed that it resulted in undesirable consequences such as sex-selective abortions, depressed fertility levels, irreversible ageing of population, labour shortage and economic slowdown. China has to abandon its one-child policy in 2016 and to encourage a three-child norm now.

But the fact remains that without the one-child policy, China’s economic progress would certainly have been less shining. After taking all the advantages of the one-child policy, it is only now that China is revising it according to present requirements.

The Way Ahead

We don’t have a population explosion.

But we still need to bring down our TFR to a universal 2.1. Coercive methods of population control are neither advisable nor fruitful. Moreover, forced and disproportionate suppression of population growth may put India at risk of losing its demographic dividend. So what is the way

Top Story

ahead?

Experts suggest that promoting education and awareness about family planning is a better way forward. Experiences illustrate that education, particularly of women, is the most important factor contributing to the reduction in fertility.

Role of the government at the Centre and state is to promote education and awareness about family planning. Late marriages and childbirths must be promoted and incentivized. Contraception must be made easy and available. Participation of women in work and labour force must be encouraged.

India must focus on educating and skilling its young population in order to take full advantage of the demographic dividend before it begins to decline. In postpandemic world, India has a unique opportunity. The world is looking for alternative sources of supplies amidst a booming demand. India must prepare and position itself accordingly. Time has come to capitalize the demography, not to filter away through unnecessary obsession with population control.

real estate

theasianchronicle.com

understand the genuine value of a property. Buying real estate should be based on this true value alone.

So, what is 'true value' in a property?

It is not a matter of resale value. The real value of a property is its happiness quotient. Remember, you will be using this property for many years. For you, the real value lies in how much joy, security, convenience, and overall wellbeing it can give you for as long as you live there.

You have heard that the three most important value drivers in real estate are 'location, location and location.' What does this mean? Most people think in terms of the future resale value of a property in a particular location. By this yardstick, the most expensive locations are the most 'valuable' locations.

Understanding the True Value of a Location

By Anil Pharande

The property market always sees increased buying activity during the festive season. The many muhurats in this period are auspicious for creating wealth, future security, and overall improved fortunes.

The positive sentiments of the Indian festive season motivate buyers who were 'sitting on the fence' (delaying purchase

November 15, 2021

decisions) to stop procrastinating further.

Obviously, developers know this and go to great lengths to harness the festive sentiment. There are usually multiple special offers rolled out for property buyers during this auspicious period.

While festive offers can be tempting motivations, property buyers need first to

But actually, they are just the costliest locations - and usually anything but happy. Paying a massive price for a cramped tiny home in an expensive location will not buy you happiness there. In cities like Pune, many of the costliest locations are also the most congested and polluted, and prone to crime. They are costly because they are so jammed full of older properties that no further development is possible.

These are actually dying locations, and the price you pay is for scarcity and perhaps resale value - not for your happiness.

Which kind of location can make you happy? A complete list of factors would be exhaustive, but let us look at five of the most important ones in the current Indian context:

Accessibility and convenience

First of all, it should give you access to everything you need. Shopping and grocery outlets, basic entertainment and transport facilities, schools, and hospitals should be available. Convenience is a significant factor that influences happiness if you must struggle to get to work, get your kids to school, and buy whatever you need, you will not be happy there.

Space and spaciousness

The second most crucial factor that inP-09

real estate

fluences happiness is space. Not only should your property itself be spacious, but there also needs to be enough space between buildings. Your window view should not be of the wall of another building. Open spaces have a direct correlation to health, happiness, and wellbeing. If you live in a small flat in a congested, noisy neighbourhood, you will not be happy regardless of how much you paid for the home.

3. Vibrancy or 'vibe' - This is an intangible factor, but there is a vast difference between a young, vibrant neighbourhood and an aged, dying location. To understand whether a locality is on the way up or down, simply take a walk or slow drive around the residential and commercial areas. What is the average age of the buildings you see? Are the roads wellkept? Do you get an overall feeling of end-of-life and decay - or a thriving, wellmanaged neighbourhood?

Planning and organization

The human mind needs organization.

Lack of organization and planning is intensely distressful to us, and we should not see signs of it everywhere around our P-10

theasianchronicle.com

homes. One sign that a neighbourhood is intentionally well-planned is the uniform design of its buildings. If there is a considerable disparity in building designs, the location's development did not follow a blueprint and took place haphazardly.

Consider the state of the roads, too. If its roads are poorly maintained, the locality is not considered very important by the municipal authorities. If this is the case, you should not be surprised if the area also suffers from water shortage, frequent electricity supply interruptions, and other disruptions.

Safety

We cannot be happy if we do not feel safe, and unplanned areas with a vast disparity in living standards are not secure.

In many of our cities, the costliest locations are surrounded by squalor and poverty and usually have a high crime rate. The safety of an area is again a factor of good planning. While a developer can introduce many safety features in his project, he can't do anything about the surrounding areas.

Integrated townships are so popular in

India because the offer all these benefits accessibility, space, vibrancy, and a high degree of planning and safety. Integrated townships are mini-cities that have been designed based on a master plan. The best townships have beautiful aesthetics, are centrally maintained, enjoy high-level security, never face shortages, and offer generous green, open spaces.

The level of happiness you can get from a home in an integrated township does not depend on the township's location - the township itself is the location, a self-contained world where everything is impeccably designed, planned, spacious, safe, and within reach. Needless to say, the importance of these qualities has also been hugely amplified by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Not surprisingly, the interest in integrated townships has never been higher than in festive season 2021. More and more Indians are discovering that the hunt for an ideal home ends when they visit a township created by a developer who understands this format perfectly. Homes that make us happy are the best investment we can ever make.

Global Progress Against Measles Threatened Amidst COVID The largest increase in unvaccinated children in 20 years and critical gaps in disease surveillance increase risk of measles outbreaks, putting lives at risk: WHO, CDC TAC News /Input WHO November 15, 2021

While reported measles cases have fallen compared to previous years, progress toward measles elimination continues to decline and the risk of outbreaks is mounting, according to a new report from the World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

During 2020, more than 22 million infants missed their first dose of measles vaccine - 3 million more than in 2019, marking the largest increase in two decades and creating dangerous conditions for outbreaks to occur.

Compared with the previous year, reported measles cases decreased by more than 80 percent in 2020.

However, measles surveillance also deteriorated with the lowest number of specimens sent for laboratory testing in over a decade. Weak measles monitoring, testing and reporting for measles jeopardize countries’ ability to prevent outP-11

health

breaks of this highly infectious disease.

Major measles outbreaks occurred in 26 countries and accounted for 84 percent of all reported cases in 2020.

“Large numbers of unvaccinated children, outbreaks of measles, and disease detection and diagnostics diverted to support COVID-19 responses are factors that increase the likelihood of measles-related deaths and serious complications in children,” said Kevin Cain, MD, CDC’s Global Immunization Director. “We must act now to strengthen disease surveillance systems and close immunity gaps, before travel and trade return to pre-pandemic levels, to prevent deadly measles outbreaks and mitigate the risk of other vaccine-preventable diseases.”

Lower reported measles cases in 2020 must not mask the growing risk of measles to children worldwide The ability of countries to ensure children receive both recommended doses of measles vaccine is a key indicator of global progress toward measles elimination and capacity to prevent the spread of the virus.

First-dose coverage fell in 2020, and only 70 percent of children received their second dose measles vaccine, well below the 95 percent coverage needed to protect communities from the spread of the measles virus.

Adding to the worsening of immunity gaps worldwide, 24 measles vaccination campaigns in 23 countries, originally planned for 2020, were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic - leaving more than 93 million people at risk for the disease. These supplemental campaigns are P-12

needed where people have missed out on measles-containing vaccines through routine immunization programs.

“While reported measles cases dropped in 2020, evidence suggests we are likely seeing the calm before the storm as the risk of outbreaks continues to grow around the world,” said Dr Kate O’Brien, Director of WHO’s Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals. “It’s critical that countries vaccinate as quickly as possible against COVID-19, but this requires new resources so that it does not come at the cost of essential immunization programs.

Routine immunization must be protected and strengthened; otherwise, we risk trading one deadly disease for another.”

Immunization and surveillance systems must be strengthened to reduce growing measles risks The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to immunization services and changes in health-seeking behaviors in many parts of the world. While the measures used to mitigate COVID-19 – masking, handwashing, distancing - also reduce the spread of the measles virus, countries and global health partners must prioritize finding and vaccinating children against measles to reduce the risk of explosive outbreaks and preventable deaths from this disease.

Measles is one of the world’s most contagious human viruses but is almost entirely preventable through vaccination. In the last 20 years, the measles vaccine is estimated to have averted more than 30 million deaths globally. Estimated deaths from measles dropped from around 1,070,000 in

2000 to 60,700 in 2020. The estimated number of measles cases in 2020 was 7.5 million globally. Measles transmission within communities is not only a clear indicator of poor measles vaccination coverage, but also a known marker, or ‘tracer,’ that vital health services are not reaching populations most at risk.

The Measles & Rubella Initiative

The Measles & Rubella Initiative (M&RI) is a partnership among the American Red Cross, the United Nations Foundation, the U.S. CDC, UNICEF and WHO. Working with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and other stakeholders, the Initiative is committed to achieving and maintaining a world without measles, rubella and congenital rubella syndrome. Since 2000, M&RI has helped deliver measles vaccine to children worldwide and saved over 31.7 million lives globally by increasing vaccination coverage, responding to outbreaks, monitoring and evaluation, and supporting confidence and demand for vaccination.

By the end of 2020, 81 countries (42 percent) had succeeded in sustaining their measles elimination status despite the pandemic, but no new countries were verified as having achieved measles elimination.

There are still 15 countries that have not introduced the measles second dose into their national immunization schedules, leaving children and adolescents in these countries especially vulnerable to measles outbreaks.

She adds that food has an intricate connection with the yogic concepts of Asteya (nonstealing) and Aparigraha (non-greediness).

Eating junk food, non-vegetarian food or hoarding food is akin to ‘stealing’ one’s health from the body.

What to eat?

The Yogic way of eating

Shubh Mathur

Nothing signifies the importance of diet in our life than the saying- ‘You are what you eat’. In all kinds of physical activities, the ‘core’ of the body is emphasized because it forms the central region from where the entire energy resides and gets distributed. We are living in an era when a plethora of diets- Keto diet, paleo diet, Low-carb diet, Mediterranean diets flood the market only to confuse the weight watchers. Yoga has always been about simplicity and balance, and it is in these times that we require more than ever before. Thus, here is the Yoga’s take on eating that will blunt the edges of prejudice, assumptions and misinterpretation.

November 15, 2021

The vital role of food

Taittirya Upanishad says, ‘You are born from food, subsists because of it and pass away into it (matter).’ It is important to note that Ayurveda and Yoga have different aims.

Ayurveda is about health, freedom from diseases and longevity. Yoga upholds spiritual ascent as its highest endeavour and prohibits eating of flesh as it is against the fundamental principle of ahimsa(non-violence).

According to Babeeta Chhabra, mentor at Sri Sri Ravishankar’s ‘The Art of Living’, “Yoga of Eating spans beyond just eating when you are hungry for sustenance, but hinges upon the codes of ethics that govern a healthy, balanced mind, body and spirit. For me, it is simply an act of love, and in love, we cannot help but nourish the Self.”

m In Yogic texts, the stomach is roughly divided into 4 sections- 2 are to be filled with food, one with liquid (buttermilk, or soup) and the last has to be kept empty. m Sattivika foods- fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, whole local grains, cereals (unprocessed), pulses and lentils should form the staples. Cow’s milk and its products are recommended, especially desi ghee. m Shun the refined sugar and opt for natural unrefined sugars- jaggery, Stevia or molasses.

While consuming honey, its authenticity has to be confirmed. m Spices such as turmeric, coriander, cumin and ajwain, cardamom and pepper are essential in small quantities. Onion and garlic have medicinal properties and are considered Rajasika foods. m Rely on local produce and ditch the expensive exotic food items. There has been an increasing craze to consume Quinoa, but it should be remembered that Rajagra(Amarnath) eaten on fortnightly fasts is an apt substitute. This way we not only feed our health but also our farmers.

How much to eat?

Yogi and mystic Sadhguru shares his two cents on this question and says- “You shouldn’t keep eating through the day. If you are below thirty years of age, three meals a day will fit well into your life. If you are over thirty, it is best to reduce it to two meals a day.

Our body and brain work at their best only when the stomach is empty.”

Science has found that when the stomach is empty, a hormone called Ghrelin is produced which stimulates and increases the performance of Hippocampus, the region in the brain that is responsible for analytical thinking, spatial analysis, memory and keeping us alert, agile and active. It does not imply that we do not eat, but that we should eat consciously.

Yoga helps us understand the spiritual dimension of food. Food that we eat must be Shiva samprityam(that which can be offered to and pleasing to god).

review To find a good quantity of fun, drama, entertainment and a new world to experience, one always chooses to open up a book.

Being a reader who came across almost every kind of book starting from the meaning of life related books to the books on love and betrayal, I've always noticed how the books have all got just one destination and that's the end of the book which holds the actual key to the complete fun.

A book speaks of variations everytime in terms of the plotline it carries along and this book holds up the reader which can be most probably be referred with the term spectacular.

This book is quite an interesting one as it did make me stay connected for a good period.

Red colour has always been the bright, vibrant and vividly sharpest colour visible in the dark as well but when the red occupies the eyes, it takes the form of anger, love, builds up the need to get the authority under control or its love at times. The author made it possible to make this book appear very much visible with its bold and powerful story This book "Colours of Red" superbly stands for the extensive spectrum of the shade red that depicts a soldier's lifestyles in naxal affected area ‘red corridor’.

It is based on the conflict region at Bastar, Chattisgarh and is the tale of a paramilitary officer present there and is indulged in the criss cross of existence.

Shaurya being the centre of secrets and the protagonist, and he is not ready to take it as punishment to quit his Bohemian lifestyle.

He is stuck up inside the Dandkarnya forest and sometimes feel that he is doomed for life. While on one end he goes through extreme loneliness and feels as though he is caught in a cage, to an extent, I've easily connected with the lead protagonist's life and pattern of life he lives.

Irrespective of what goes on inside him, he does what he thinks is morally correct and attempts to alter within the lifestyle of P-16

Colours of Red Book Review

Bastar, additionally in an attempt to counteract his misery and loneliness.

When every shred of hope felt dead, he met Shenaya, a lovely younger woman who is there in search her own journey of self discovery. They both meet and are got drawn to every other. They come to be each other's help and he or she ultimately places a forestall to Shaurya's pitiable state of loneliness. They subsequently find their peace as they have an affair which were stunning, mature and at intellectual level too.

The book announces a direct way to get insight and know about how the naxals and

the soldiers and the way things have been happening in Chattisgarh with the people over there.

Just as they feel, the entirety is in the end working properly, their little Bastar sojourn turns the wrong way up. They are trapped in a maze from which they haven't any way out and feature fallen prey to it.

It's honestly wonderful experience to examine such book. There's so much to take from the character's lifestyles but he simply has to endure the entirely different lifestyles places her/him through. No be counted what number of volcanoes are erupting within him, he has to live dormant at all times.

I surely cherished the identify of the this book. It's very considerate, how one colour will have such a lot of shades, love, blood, ache and so forth.

Loved analyzing it!

The writing style being very lucid and easily sufficient for an ordinary reader to recognize, it appeared to be a good read.

Cover page appears to be a storyteller of its own with the way it holds a rose amidst the droplets of blood. I found the title to be suitable pretty much with the content although I hold another version of the title in my head after witnessing the tale in a manner magnificent.

COP26: A watered-down deal as Delhi chokes

theasianchronicle.com

By Rajini Vaidyanathan BBC South Asia Correspondent

India is accused of watering down a COP26 climate deal to cut coal consumption even as toxic air chokes its national capital, Delhi.

Air quality in the city has been hovering between "severe" and "hazardous" for several days now. The Delhi government on Sunday announced that schools would close for week and said it was mulling over a "lockdown" to improve air quality.

Burning of crop stubble, industrial and vehicular pollution, and weather patterns turn the city's air noxious every winter.

But the air in the capital - and large parts of northern India - remains poor most of the year.

Pollutants from coal-fired power plants are among the culprits.

Despite pressure on India and China, two of the world's top carbon emitters, to sign a deal to end coal use, the two big consumers of coal proposed a last-minute change in wording - countries have now agreed to "phase down" rather than "phase out" coal.

The news of the change made big headlines around the world with many heaping scorn and disappointment on India for desperately clinging to coal.

But in a growing country which still derives around 70% of its energy from coal, the decision was seen as pragmatic and assertive.

India's Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, who was at the Glasgow summit, said India had achieved "remarkable results", but it's all about striking a balance. He said he had articulated the concerns and ideas of other developing nations, who also rely on fossil fuels to power growth.

The narrative in many parts of the media was that India stood up to the world and came home with what it wanted.

"India has maintained that the current climate crisis has been precipitated by unsustainable lifestyles and wasteful consumption patterns mainly in the developed countries.

The world needs to awaken to this reality," Mr November 15, 2021

Yadav wrote in a blog.

Jairam Ramesh, a former environment minister from the opposition Congress party, said the outcome this year was "the best India can offer".

"India has to be responsive globally and responsible domestically," he said.

And millions of Indians, who are still reeling from the effects of a devastating second Covid wave, see getting the economy back on its feet as the biggest priority. For now that means clinging to coal while scaling up cleaner alternatives.

"Solar is extremely important - it's growing very fast but you can't replace coal with solar in such a short period of time," said Vaibhav Chaturvedi from the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). The economist has just returned from the COP26 summit where he also advised the Indian delegation.

"Both are going to grow in the next 10 years. Solar will grow very fast, coal will grow slowly," he added.

At the COP26 summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged to hit net zero emissions by 2070 - two decades later than many Western nations have pledged.

But many are quick to point out that the average Indian consumes far less energy than the average Briton or American - and that Western countries haven't done all that they have promised either, including providing muchneeded climate finance to help poorer countries meet their targets.

"It's very hard for India or any developing country to trust the developed nations now," Mr Chaturvedi argues.

"The West has not delivered when it comes to cutting their emissions, that's the reality of it."

Many countries are prioritizing health and climate change, but lack funds to take action

TAC Feature

Countries have begun to prioritize health in their efforts to protect people from the impact of climate change, but only about a quarter of those recently surveyed by the World Health Organization have been able to fully implement their national health and climate change plans or strategies. Countries report that a lack of funding; the impact of COVID-19; and insufficient human resource capacity are major barriers to progress.

The 2021 WHO health and climate change global survey report finds, however, that over three quarters of surveyed countries have developed or are currently developing national health and climate change plans or strategies.

Some 85% of countries now have a designated focal point responsible for health and climate change in their ministries of health, while in 54% of countries, the ministry of health has established a stakeholder mechanism (such as a task force or committee) on health and climate change.

About two-thirds of surveyed countries have conducted a climate change and health vulnerability and adaptation assessment or are currently undertaking one, while virtually all (94%) countries incorporate health considerations in their nationally determined contribuP-20

tions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement.

“The new WHO survey highlights how many countries are left unsupported and unprepared to deal with the health impacts of climate change. We are here at COP 26 to urge the world to better support countries in need, and to ensure that together we do a better job of protecting people from the biggest threat to human health we face today,” said Dr Maria Neira, WHO Director of Environment, Climate Change and Health.

Countries’ inability to protect health from climate change is most harmful for their most disadvantaged groups, including ethnic minorities, poor communities, migrants and displaced people, older people and many women and children.

“The health arguments for increased climate action are very clear. For example, almost 80% of deaths caused by air pollution could be avoided if current air pollution levels were reduced to the WHO Air Quality guidelines,” said Dr Neira.

The WHO survey finds that insufficient finance continues to be the top stumbling block to fully implementing national health and climate change plans, cited by 70% of countries (up from 56% in 2019). Human resource constraints are the second biggest barrier, whilst about one third of countries identified a lack

of intersectoral collaboration as a key barrier.

About half of the countries report that the COVID-19 emergency has slowed progress on addressing climate change by diverting health personnel and resources, and continues to threaten national health authorities’ abilities to plan and prepare for climate-related health stresses and shocks.

The report also notes a potential missed opportunity to identify and optimize the health benefits of adaptation and mitigation efforts in other sectors, which could have fed into a clean, healthy recovery from COVID-19: structural and social determinants of health, such as education, equity, gender, urban planning, housing, energy and transportation systems was represented in fewer than half of the established multisectoral mechanisms.

The first report in this series was released in 2019. This second report provides a valuable snapshot of the overall progress governments have made in addressing the health risks of climate change. ““The challenge now is to remove the barriers that are preventing countries from finalizing and implementing plans,” said Tara Neville, Technical Officer at the WHO Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health and lead author of the survey report.

Crop Compensation increased from Rs. 12K to 15K

Chief Minister, Manohar Lal, while giving a bonanza to the farmers of the State, increased the crop compensation amount in case of damage from Rs.12,000 to Rs.15,000 and increased the amount of Rs. 10,000 to Rs.12,500. Besides this, it has also been announced to increase the compensation slab below this by 25 per cent. The Chief Minister made this announcement during the launch of a modern Cooperative Sugar Mill in Karnal on Monday built at a cost of Rs. 263 crore.

CM said that the Haryana Government is giving the highest crop compensation across the country, however, as there was no increase in this amount since few years, so it has been enhanced further. The Chief Minister called upon the farmers to get their crop insured. He said that two days ago the government had announced that the farmer possessing 2 acres of land will not have to pay crop insurance premium, while for the farmers possessing 5 acres of land, the government has decided to pay half the premium. The farmers having land more than 5 acres will have to get the crop insured themselves.

He said that the capacity of Karnal Sugar

from producing electricity and ethanol

Mill has been increased from 2200 TCDC to 3500 TCDC. He said that now the farmers of Karnal and its surrounding areas will not have to take their sugarcane elsewhere because if required mill with run more.

The Chief Minister said that the rate of sugarcane in Haryana is the highest in the country and he assured the farmers that the rate of sugarcane would remain the highest.

Besides this, the Chief Minister immediately enhanced the washing allowance given to employees of Sugar Mill from Rs 25 to Rs 100. The Chief Minister also assured to consider the ex-gratia policy of these employees.

Sugarcane mills will generate income

There will be no unmanned crossing

The Chief Minister said that there will be no unmanned crossing in Haryana and work is already going on in this regard. Only 64 railway over bridges and railway under bridges were built in 48 years, whereas the present government has built 56 railway over bridges and under bridges in 7 years. Apart from this work is being done on 40 railway bridges. This will reduce accidents at unmanned crossings.

Roads should be opened in the interest of the general public The Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal said that the common people are facing problems due to the blocked roads on Singhu and Tikri borders. These roads should be opened in the interest of the public for smooth flow of traffic. He said that there is a 5-foot road open at the Tikri border and there is problem in the passage of big vehicles. While talks are on, however, if some people (protesting farmers) will stop being stubborn and start communicating then the matter can be resolved quickly.

Power generation plants and ethanol plants are being set up in these mills. He said that the country would get the benefit of foreign exchange by setting up ethanol plants. The government is investing Rs. 660 crore in expanding the Sugar Mills. Gradually, power generation plants and ethanol plants will be set up in all cooperative sugar mills. This will increase the income of sugar mills and reduce losses.

The main aim of the government is to double the farmers' income

Chief Minister, Manohar Lal said that doubling the income of farmers is the main goal of the government. The government is constantly encouraging progressive farmers.

Along with this, other farmers are also being encouraged to start fruit and vegetable farming instead of traditional farming.

Legal Awareness Programme organized by HSLSA & NLS

Haryana State Legal Services Authority in association with National Commission for Women organized a Legal Awareness Programme under the aegis of National Legal Services Authority in the Administrative Building of Haryana State Legal Services Authority, Panchkula.

The programme was inaugurated by Mr. Justice Augustine George Masih, Judge, Punjab & Haryana High Court and Executive Chairman, Haryana State Legal Services Authority. Sh. Parmod Goyal, District & Sessions Judge and Member Secretary, HALSA and Dr. Kavita Kamboj, Joint Member Secretary, HALSA were also there.

Today’s event was planned and organized to celebrate the Legal Services Day on 9th November. HALSA has been persistently working for strengthening the legal services by ensuring rights of each and every person including children and women. The core purpose of the programme was to create awareness amongst different functionaries about various laws and legislations meant for welfare and betterment of women. Through this programme, HALSA has provided a common platform to all the stakeholders including teachers, Asha workers, police officials, Sarpanches and Self Help Group workers to share and discuss various difficulties and challenges coming across in dispensing timely justice to women and to develop a sense of security and protection amongst women in society. More than 60 participants have attended the aforesaid event.

CM offers prayers on Chhath Puja at a programme organized in Gurugram P-22

CM, Manohar Lal today offered prayers and Arghya during the Chhath Puja programme organized at Sector-10 A, Gurugram. After this, the Chief Minister announced a restricted Holiday in Haryana from next year on Chhath Puja. Besides this, he also announced the construction of a ghat to offer prayers.

Addressing the devotees, the Chief Minister said that the festival highlights unity in diversity of our country. Our country with a population of about 130 crore, despite different castes, religions, communities, are all one. The spirit of this unity is visible in our festivals, he said.

Manohar Lal said that a large number of people from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Purvanchal along with local people have participated in this Chhath Puja programme today. In 2014, when the BJP government was formed in the state for the first time, we had given the slogan 'Haryana Ek Haryanavi Ek'. I don't see any difference between you and Haryanvis, he added.

The State Government makes domiciles of people who are living in Haryana, from any part of the country, and are working or running their business, and the people who have lived here for five years or more are also given domiciles, said the Chief Minister.

While interacting with the people of the Purvanchal community, the Chief Minister said that if they have any problem then they can share the same with local MLA or party officials and their problem will be resolved at the earliest.

Manohar Lal said that the festival of Chhath Puja comes twice a year, so the people of Purvanchal should choose a place having a source of water, a ghat for Chhath Puja would be constructed there. He further informed that a similar ghat has been built on the banks of the canal in Karnal in about an area of 2700 feet, which has been recently inaugurated by him.

CM Window and Twitter handle a fine example of passion and dedication

Following the principle of Antyodaya, Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal has started the CM Window and Twitter handle since 2016 aiming to address every single grievance of the general public directly from his Office. The working of both CM Window and its Twitter handle is completely based on utmost dedication.

Bhupeshwar Dayal, OSD to Chief Minister, who is monitoring these arrangements from the Chandigarh headquarters, believes that it is only because of commitment and dedication shown by the Chief Minister that so far more than 9 lakh complaints have been resolved.

He said that as soon as the complaint is uploaded on the CM window or on the Twitter handle, simultaneously the complainant is informed that their complaint has been received and has been further marked to the concerned department by the CMO and they will be given regular updates about the settlement proceedings. After taking written opinion from the learned persons of the society, only after their satisfaction, the report of action taken on the complaint will be filed.

According to Bhupeshwar Dayal, the rating is marked in three colour category namely in Red, Orange and Green according to the nature of the complaint. More serious complaints are categorized as Red and prompt action is initiated. The Chief Minister personally takes strict cognizance of the complaints marked in the Red category and takes feedback from time to time after reviewing these complaints.

In a case from Safidon, Jind, the Chief Minister himself sought clarification from the Additional Deputy Commissioner and in this case, due to the suspicious role of an employee working on the CM window, the said employee been relieved immediately, which clearly shows that he dedication and passionate working style of this system.
