A shattered(बिखर) peace

Intro:- Peace in West Bengal’s Darjeeling hills has been shattered again. Key hill party- Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, renewing its demand for a separate Gorkhaland state. The protests started - Bengali would be made mandatory in the hills. CM Mamata Banerjee - All students would have to study Bengali from Class I. But later clarified that it would not be compulsory in the hill district of Darjeeling. Darjeeling tea- Region that depends on tourism and tea for its survival GJM, which had lost the municipal election to the Trinamool Congress in May GJM leaders Bimal Gurung and Roshan Giri want the Centre to intervene.

The best of times, the worst of times

Intro:- Ongoing farmers’ agitation has taken on a shockingly violent form.Why are farmers rioting after a bumper crop? Prices fall after bumper harvests. Good for consumers but terrible for farmers. Government needs to step in to buy from farmers at a minimum support

price.While subsidising consumers so that they get affordable food. Setting up the Food Corporation of India (FCI) in 1965. Solution is to get people off farming. While there is no doubt we need to create more jobs in manufacturing. According to the latest projections, there will still be 800 million people

living in rural India- in the year 2050.


Be Happy, Share & Help Each Other!!!Continue… Green Revolution of the 1970s- Dramatic rise in food production. India no longer needs to beg for food in the world market. But this was primarily a rice and wheat revolution. It completely neglected two-thirds of Indian agriculture and crops grown- pulses and millets. Nothing “green” about this revolution because, over the years, it has caused a deep crisis of

sustainability, economic and ecological. Large-scale use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides has had an extremely adverse impact on our

soil and water. Raises costs of cultivation, without a proportionate increase in productionWater-intensive crops- Serious water crisis. Arsenic, fluoride, mercury, even uranium in our drinking water, creating serious health issues


Be Happy, Share & Help Each Other!!!Continue… Sustainable agricultureWhat can we do to address these twin tragedies of suicides and violence by farmers? 1)- We need to transition to a more ecologically resilient(लचीला) agriculture- Climate change. Non-chemical agriculture has become a profitable alternative- Health Issues Soil Health Card Scheme- carefully manage input 2)-We must radically reform the management of both surface and groundwater to ensure

that the water in our irrigation 3)-Require continued diversifivation to other forms of livelihood- livestock and fiheries. Shift focus away from water-intensive rice and wheat. 4)- Investments in agro-processing infrastructure. 5)-Access to credit and crop insurance, especially to our 85% small and marginal farmers. 6)- Market participation.


Be Happy, Share & Help Each Other!!!Conclusion… Demonetisation crunch Liquidity out of the system that traders did not have requisite cash to buy the farmers’ produce. Bumper harvest. Violence shows no way forward. Agrarian policy reform in India cannot afford to ignore. Only a comprehensive policy response can ensure that farmers’ distress becomes a thing of the

past.



Waiting for reconciliation in Myanmar

Intro:- Second- 21st century Panglong peace conference, ended after six days of deliberations (May 24-29).

20th century Panglong peace agreement was masterminded by Aung San- the architect of modern Burma- held in February 1947

Discussed infrastructure projects. Peace process- Probably the deadline is 2020. Aung San’s spirit and the people of Myanmar are

waiting



Detecting possibilities

Intro:- LIGO-India project will lead to the emergence of new research areas. U.S.-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO)’s detectors have picked

up signals of yet another merger of two black holes Three billion light years away and have masses equal to 31 and 19 times the mass of the sun. Detection of new heavenly bodies and gaining a better understanding of that most elusive of

theories — Einstein’s general theory of relativity, and the fundamental force of gravitation. Contribution of Indians Indians have made a significant contribution to this, with nearly 67 Indians from 13 institutions

across the country taking part in the theory and experiment.With the Italy-based VIRGO detector set to join operations soon LIGO-India project - as planned, in 2024 LIGO-India will start of as a complex organism, the many constituents of which will evolve

simultaneously in different parts of the country- Parts to form a mature scientific enterprise. Department of Atomic Energy- main funding body for all big scientific investments in India

June 2016, affecting the accuracy of the “GPS”. Rubidium is a chemical element with symbol Rb and atomic number 37 ISRO is trying to rectify this problem.What is NavIC?

■ Navigation Indian Constellation (NavIC) is an independent Indian satellite-based positioning system for critical national applications.

The purpose is to provide “reliable position, navigation andtiming services over India and its neighbourhood.”

NavIC consists of a constellation of seven satellites and was named so by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Three of the satellites are in a geostationary orbit and four in a geosynchronous one


Be Happy, Share & Help Each Other!!!Continue… All the seven satellites of NavIC, namely, IRNSS-1A, 1B, 1C, ID,1E, 1F and 1G were successfully

launched on July 2, 2013, April 4, 2014, October 16, 2014, March 28, 2015, January 20, 2016, March 10, 2016 and April 28, 2016 respectively.

Applications of IRNSS are: terrestrial, aerial and marine navigation, vehicle tracking and fleet management, terrestrial navigation, disaster management, integration with mobile phones, mapping and geodetic data capture and visual and voice navigation for drivers.
