Failed to solve cane farmers' problem in 68 years !


What a monumental failure! What an organized loot of the poor sugar cane farmers ! In the last 68 years all the wise of this Democratic Socialist Republic of India could not find a solution to a small problem of timely payments to the sugarcane farmers by the mills ! In fact there is no genuine problem- it is man-made problem. The prayers of the farmers have been lost in the sophistry of the economic jargon. Election after election, every political party has been making it an election issue, promising redress of the farmers' grievances and assuring mitigation, only to perpetuate the loot, exploitation and plunder of the national asset of the stoutest pillar of the economy viz. farm sector. In the meanwhile no sugar mill has gone bankrupt. It is a different matter that hundreds of farmers have committed suicide or died due to default in repayment of loans they raised for farm input and labour. It is no different from the exploitation of the small scale units in the industrial sector where the seller accepts products on credit under the pretext that the products don't have a ready market and thereby delay payments to the small entrepreneur for months. Does this problem require rocket science or FDI (technical/financial/governance) ?

Energy Conservation


Lot of telephone cables in the country run parallel to the Transmission line. As per the conduction process there could also be lot of possibility of a lot power being transferred into the cable of the telephone lines (BSNL. MTNL, Railways and private sector). We can save those amount of electricity for the benefit of the country.

Curbs on ostentatious marriages appreciable

The govt's move to restrict expenditure on the marriages and the expectant muting of the marriage band, has stirred the social hornet's nest. The old timers remember that the 'Guests control Act', during the Emergency and the verbal dictats of the Sikh fundamentalists later on in Punjab, to control the wasteful expenditure on the marriages, were vigorously implemented for a short period and were hugely welcomed by the public at large. The introduction of the ,''The Marriages (compulsory Registration and Prevention of Wasteful Expenditure) bill,2016, introduced by a lady MP, is a very timely step to end the misery of the large part of the masses. It has been felt since long to end the large number of functions, waste on food, cloth, gold and sundry items, but no one has dared to bell the cat. The legislation must be thrashed threadbare before it rolled out for implementation, which should be vigorous and relentless, to end the social evils like dowry. The girls and boys should also come forward to voluntarily shun gold and other wasteful rituals and ceremonies. Presently most of the parents want to perform simple marriages, but the boys and girls don't understand the value of the money and the comforts of their parents and bring them under perennial debt and pitiable life. Let the law be enacted and hope it will not decorate the library shelves and mitigate the countless marriage miseries.
