Will Gen Next Save Bihar?

I am shocked. Some politicians of Bihar are making Rana Pratap the same as some in Maharashtra did with Shivaji. I don't know why Rajasthan is not objecting to their hijacking of Rana Pratap. Rana Pratap and Shivaji are two Indian icons. They never belonged to any community or caste. But as these leaders can neither invent any new issue nor they are ready to look after the development of the region they represent, they keep themselves busy with the caste based politics. Who can put a stop to such unscrupulous leaders from organizing such functions or rallies?

I wish the Gen Next could do that? Let them start questioning these leaders. How can Rana Pratap represent only a particular caste? What about the tribals of Rajasthan who helped Rana Pratap or Bhamashah who financially helped Rana Pratap? Why do these leaders still trying to take shelter in caste to keep themselves relevant?

One thing that I hate in Bihar is the useless affinity shown by its people for the leaders of their own castes, though they hardly help them anyway unless one is useful to them.

I have one more question to these leaders. Why don't they find some local icons? Is there a dearth of them? They could have put forward Kunwar Singh, the fighter of 1857. And there must be some more if they research.

Let these leaders and all the people of Bihar understand and appreciate that these divisive approaches are damaging the image of Bihar more than anything else. Bihar will have to emerge strong only with its hard innovative success stories from farm fields, educational institutes, handicrafts cooperatives, and by finding ways and means to manufacture some key consumables for marketing all over the country. Let me also make it clear to all those assuming themselves in 'sabarn' or forward categories that they are just as backward as OBC. Exceptions are minuscule in number.

I appeal the younger generation to come forward and create a new social order and environment in Bihar with a contemporary mindset, and they can do that.

Zeenews Bureau

In yet another incident of babus making a mockery of law and order, an IAS officer here publicly threatened a traffic sergeant for asking her to pay a fine for parking her official vehicle in the middle of a road.

The officer in question, Rashmi Verma, was spotted parking her official vehicle in the middle of a busy road in Patna - the capital city of Bihar. Subsequently the traffic sergeant on duty confronted her and asked her to pay a fine as per the law.

However, instead of paying the fine the lady called up a senior officer of the traffic police to complain against the sergeant.

Verma, who is currently posted as the Chief Secretary in the Bihar Tourism Department, threatened the traffic policeman with dire consequences for daring to ask her to pay the fine.

The sergeant Suresh Kumar finally succumbed to pressure from his seniors and with "folded hand" let the madam go.

Hitler, Goebbels, Lalu Prasad, Nitish Kumar - who's who?

Bookmark to: Linkarena Bookmark to: Digg Bookmark to: Facebook Bookmark to: Reddit Bookmark to: StumbleUpon Bookmark to: Furl Bookmark to: Spurl Bookmark to: Google Bookmark to: Technorati Bookmark to: Newsvine Bookmark to: Blinkbits Bookmark to: Netvouz Information
Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels may be pardoned for suffering an identity crisis in his grave. Bihar's chief minister Nitish Kumar called his political bete noire Lalu Prasad Goebbels the other day. Now Lalu Prasad - railway minister in the central government - has called Nitish Kumar Goebbels, and Hitler to boot.

It all began Wednesday when Nitish Kumar compared Lalu to Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

"Lalu has outsmarted even Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in telling lies," Nitish Kumar said, referring to Lalu Prasad's allegation that the state government was making it difficult for the railway ministry to acquire land to set up a rail wheel factory at Bela in Chapra, his parliamentary constituency.

"Lalu is the biggest liar I have ever known," the chief minister added.

On Thursday, Lalu Prasad returned the compliment in good measure, comparing Nitish Kumar to both Hitler and Goebbels.

"Nitish Kumar has the qualities of both Hitler and Goebbels," the railway minister said.

Lalu Prasad claimed that Nitish Kumar's own party men call him Hitler for his dictatorial attitude.

While Lalu Prasad blames the chief minister for delaying the implementation of railway projects in the state, Nitish Kumar says the railway minister does not want to develop railways in Bihar.(IANS)

Is Patna University Going Back To 'dark Days'?

Bookmark to: Linkarena Bookmark to: Digg Bookmark to: Facebook Bookmark to: Reddit Bookmark to: StumbleUpon Bookmark to: Furl Bookmark to: Spurl Bookmark to: Google Bookmark to: Technorati Bookmark to: Newsvine Bookmark to: Blinkbits Bookmark to: Netvouz Information
Even as academic activities have come to a standstill in Patna University for over three weeks due to strike by non-teaching employees, academics have expressed fears that the university may go back to the "dark days" it experienced before Dr Y V Simhadri took over as VC.

Already a large number of students have suffered as they have been unable to take admission to other universities for want of marksheets and other documents. The university has failed to issue these documents due to the ongoing strike of its non-teaching staff.

"It is quite disturbing that neither the university administration nor the state government is making any effort to open the university and its colleges at this crucial juncture when hundreds of meritorious students need result sheets, institution leaving certificates and related documents to join courses in institutions across the country," said PU Senate member Sudhakar Prasad Singh.

He said a large number of daily-wage employees and private security personnel are working in the University.

Three new IITs coming, but where's the infrastructutre, buildings or faculty?

Bookmark to: Linkarena Bookmark to: Digg Bookmark to: Facebook Bookmark to: Reddit Bookmark to: StumbleUpon Bookmark to: Furl Bookmark to: Spurl Bookmark to: Google Bookmark to: Technorati Bookmark to: Newsvine Bookmark to: Blinkbits Bookmark to: Netvouz Information
Here's another example of the clumsy manner in which the HRD ministry handles India's most prestigious institutions of higher education. Three new IITs are opening next month, but no buildings, infrastructure or faculty befitting the global brand is in place yet.

Three existing IITs -- Guwahati, Madras and Delhi -- have been made `mentor institutions' for the new institutes at Patna, Medak and Rajasthan.

Faculty from the Guwahati and Madras IITs will be deployed to teach at makeshift campuses at Patna and Medak. IIT Rajasthan doesn't even have a `makeshift campus', and will debut from its mentor's campus at IIT Delhi.

Besides inconveniencing faculty assigned to the new IITs, the arrangement is bound to affect the quality of instruction. Taking into account the new OBC quota, the teacher student ratio will increase to 1:18 from the existing 1:12. Ideally, it should be no more than 1:9.

In April, Higher Education Secretary R.P. Aggarwal announced that IIT Rajasthan would have a makeshift campus at IIT Delhi. Ministry officials also said IIT-D had begun work on the campus.

But on Monday, authorities at IIT-D betrayed ignorance: "There is a lot of talk about it but I don't know whether it would happen or not," DN Jain, Deputy Director (Faculty) at IIT-D, said.

Bihar No. 1 in urban reforms?

Bookmark to: Linkarena Bookmark to: Digg Bookmark to: Facebook Bookmark to: Reddit Bookmark to: StumbleUpon Bookmark to: Furl Bookmark to: Spurl Bookmark to: Google Bookmark to: Technorati Bookmark to: Newsvine Bookmark to: Blinkbits Bookmark to: Netvouz Information
Notwithstanding the ever-increasing concern of people towards lack of civic amenities in most urban areas, Bihar stands numero uno in urban reforms in the country.

This was announced by Urban Development Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey before a galaxy of scientists and environmentalists on Saturday.

Bihar happens to be the first state in the country to enact the Model Municipal Act for ensuring all-round development of municipal areas.

The state has received a sum of Rs 38 crore from the Central government for effecting solid waste management. A suitable plot of land is being acquired for disposal of solid waste, he said.

Speaking as the chief guest at an all India training programme on bio-medical waste management organised by the Patna University Centre for Environment and Nature Conservation at Science College auditorium here, Choubey said steps have also been initiated for setting up a plant to generate electricity from waste polythene bags. It has been found that 33 metric tonnes of polythene bags can generate 9.5 MW of power.

Where 'backward' Bihar leads India

Bookmark to: Linkarena Bookmark to: Digg Bookmark to: Facebook Bookmark to: Reddit Bookmark to: StumbleUpon Bookmark to: Furl Bookmark to: Spurl Bookmark to: Google Bookmark to: Technorati Bookmark to: Newsvine Bookmark to: Blinkbits Bookmark to: Netvouz Information
For many years, Bihar in northern India has earned notoriety for being one of the poorest and most lawless states in the country.

Nobel-prize winning author VS Naipaul once described it as the place where "civilisation ends".

But all is not lost, perhaps. We discover five areas where Bihar might consider itself to be ahead of other Indian states.

WOMEN POWER

Bihar is the only state in India to have 50% of places in local municipal bodies reserved for women.

Babita Devi, a thirty-something mother of two children, is one of the beneficiaries of this positive discrimination in a male-dominated society where women have traditionally lived and worked on the margins.

The wife of a small farmer, Mrs Devi defeated 19 contestants to win the civic election in her area and become a municipal commissioner.

Now she works to keep her neighbourhood clean and improve its sanitation.

"For the first time in my life I have got respect and attention from my family and society. It feels good," she says.

The present government in Bihar, run by the Janata Dal (United) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), began the policy of reserving half of local municipal body seats for women.

Today half of the 262,000 elected councillors to local municipalities in the state are women.

"The 50% reservation for women in civic bodies is not only empowering women but educating them to a great extent," says social scientist Dr Shaibal Gupta.
