10000 tribal families to get balanced food
MYSORE: It is good news for primitive tribes, particularly Jenu kuruba tribes in old Mysore region, as the government has decided to provide nutritious food to 10,000 families in the region. A study conducted by an NGO and students of Social Work Department had come out with disturbing figures that more than 40 per cent of the children and women of tribal population are malnourished.
The survey stated that women who have attained puberty are malnourished and many are unable to feed their children. This has unfortunately, spread across the state.
The government has started providing them 25 kg rice, two kg dal, one kg pulses, one kg millets and two kg sugar as the tribal population starves during monsoons as they cannot collecting minor produce for their livelihood. The situation is not any different in Mysore, Chamarajnagar and Kodagu. The worst affected were women and children and this has contributed to growing malnourishment among the tribals.
The government has released Rs 2 crore to provide food grains for their livelihood. The tribal organisation and DEED, an NGO, had demanded the government to start preschool in all the 1,500 hadis in Mysore and Chamarajnagar.
Then DC P Mannivanan and women and child welfare minister P M Narendra Swamy visited the hadis and sanctioned 15 preschools in Kakana Kote forest in Hunsur taluk. A survey was conducted on children aged below 18 years and women below the age of 35. Meanwhile, tribals want the government to ban selling liquor in tribal hadis.
Though former CM S M Krishna and Forest Minister K H Ranganath had banned it within a two km radius of tribal hadis, the order remains on paper only.

Every Five Seconds, A Child Dies From Hunger Related Causes
Every Five Seconds, A Child Dies From Hunger Related Causes

Sometimes it's easy to forget.
In the past few weeks, thousands of people across the United States tuned in to the Casey Anthony trial. The media has been all over this story. If you're not passionately enraged about the not-guilty verdict (or passionately arguing that our nation's justice system has been upheld), you undoubtedly know at least a handful of people who are.
As a mother of a 2-year-old, I am acutely aware of the value of Caylee's lost life and the tragedy of that loss. I cannot even fathom what my daughter's death would do to me. The fact remains, however, that all of the passion and negative energy that is going into people's reactions to the Anthony case will do absolutely nothing to bring Caylee back. In this case, the general public–no matter how mad it gets–is powerless.
This year, nearly 9 million children under five around the world will die; more than one third of those deaths will be related to hunger. It's July, which means that roughly 4.5 million kids have already died. Where is their media coverage? Who is on trial for their deaths? Why aren't people angrier about this?
Children in rural areas of developing nations–areas where Heifer does most of our work–are nearly two times as likely to be underweight than their urban counterparts.
Through the Millenium Development Goals, the United Nations has set goals to dramatically change the world. Since 2000, the UN has tracked what's working and where gaps persist. While global poverty rates have substantially declined, hunger and child death rates are not declining quickly enough.
Depending on how quickly you read, about 15 kids under five died since you started reading this post.
Sadly, there's nothing we can do for Caylee now. But for the millions of preventable deaths of children around the world, there are many things we can do. Let's put some energy into thinking of what those things are. List your suggestions here, and I'll do a follow-up post with your ideas and some of my own.

* डिप्लोमा इन एलिमेंटरी टीचर एजुकेशन पाठ्यक्रम में नियमों की अनदेखी
* उर्दू माध्यम में विकलांग व हिंदी माध्यम में इंटरनल कोटे की सीटों को सामान्य वर्ग में किया तब्दील
* मामला वीसी व चीफ कमिश्नर फॉर पर्सन विद डिसैबिलिटी तक पहुंचा तो मचा हड़कंप
अविनाश चंद्र, नई दिल्ली
अल्पसंख्यक दर्जा प्राप्त विश्वविद्यालय जामिया मिलिया इसलामिया में विभागीय घालमेल से आरक्षित वर्ग की सीटों के साथ खेल करने का मामला सामने आया है। इस क्रम में विश्वविद्यालय प्रशासन पर डिप्लोमा इन एलिमेंटरी टीचर एजुकेशन पाठ्यक्रम के विकलांग व इंटरनल कोटे की सीटों को अनुचित तरीके से सामान्य वर्ग में तब्दील करने और दाखिले के लिए मनमानी संख्या में छात्रों को साक्षात्कार के लिए बुलाने का आरोप लग रहा है। शिकायत जामिया के कुलपति नजीब जंग सहित कमिश्नर, डिसैबिलिटी व चीफ कमिश्नर फॉर पर्सन विद डिसैबिलिटी तक पहुंची तो प्रशासनिक अधिकारियों में हड़कंप मच गया।
जामिया विश्वविद्यालय में डिप्लोमा इन एलिमेंटरी टीचर एजुकेशन पाठ्यक्रम की सौ सीटों के लिए दाखिला प्रक्रिया चार जुलाई को संपन्न हुई। नियमों के मुताबिक यहां दाखिले के लिए उपलब्ध सीटों की तुलना में तीन गुना अधिक छात्रों को साक्षात्कार के लिए बुलाने का प्रावधान है, जबकि जामिया द्वारा जारी आंकड़ों के मुताबिक उक्त पाठ्यक्रम में दाखिले के लिए किसी कोटे में 10 से 15 गुना ज्यादा छात्रों को साक्षात्कार के लिए बुलाया गया। वहीं कुछ कोटे में वांछित से आधी संख्या में ही छात्रों को बुलाया गया, जबकि हिंदी पाठ्यक्रम में इंटरनल कोटे की दो सीटों व विकलांग कोटे की एक सीट के लिए एक भी छात्र को साक्षात्कार के लिए नहीं बुलाया गया। जामिया समुदाय के हितों के लिए कार्यरत गैर सरकारी संस्था यूनीकेयर के मुताबिक उक्त पाठ्यक्रम की सौ सीटों पर दाखिले के लिए 6427 अभ्यर्थियों ने आवेदन किया था, जिसमें से 5545 छात्रों ने हिंदी और 982 छात्रों ने उर्दू माध्यम में दाखिले के लिए आवेदन किया था। संस्था के मुताबिक प्रवेश परीक्षा में सफल छात्रों को साक्षात्कार के लिए मनमाने ढंग से आमंत्रित किया गया। हिंदी माध्यम की जनरल कोटे की 21 सीटों के लिए 49 लोगों को साक्षात्कार के लिए आमंत्रित किया गया, जबकि नियमानुसार 63 लोगों को इसके लिए बुलाना चाहिए था। इसी प्रकार, मुसलिम कोटे की 15 सीटों के लिए 45 के बजाय मात्र 19 छात्रों को ही आमंत्रित किया गया। उधर, मुस्लिम ओबीसी व वुमेन कोटे की 5-5 सीटों के लिए 15-15 के बजाय क्रमश: 38 और 50 छात्रों को साक्षात्कार के लिए बुलाया गया। इसी प्रकार उर्दू माध्यम के पाठ्यक्रम की 21 सीटों पर दाखिले के लिए 63 की जगह मात्र 04 छात्रों को ही बुलाया गया, जबकि मुसलिम, मुसलिम ओबीसी व मुसलिम वुमेन की 15, 5 व 5 सीटों के लिए क्रमश: 17, 33 व 74 लोगों को साक्षात्कार के लिए आमंत्रित किया गया। इन सीटों के लिए 45,15 व 15 लोगों को ही आमंत्रित किया जाना था। संस्था के अध्यक्ष मतलूब रजा के मुताबिक घालमेल यहीं तक सीमित नहीं रहा, बल्कि हिंदी माध्यम की इंटरनल कोटे की दो सीटों के लिए किसी को भी साक्षात्कार के लिए आमंत्रित नहीं किया गया। न ही कोई दाखिला दिया गया। बाद में इसे जनरल कोटे में परिवर्तित कर दिया गया। उर्दू माध्यम की विकलांग कोटे की एक सीट पर भी किसी को दाखिला नहीं दिया गया। इसे भी सामान्य कोटे में परिवर्तित कर दिया गया, जबकि हिंदी माध्यम के कई विकलांग छात्र दाखिले के लिए भटकते रहे। संस्था ने इस बाबत कुलपति नजीब जंग, कमिश्नर, डिसैबिलिटी व चीफ कमिश्नर फार पर्सन विद डिसैबिलिटी को पत्र लिख पूरे मामले की शिकायत की है। इस बाबत पूछने पर जामिया की मीडिया को-ऑर्डिनेटर डॉ. सिमी मल्होत्रा व एलिमेंटरी टीचर्स एजुकेशन पाठ्यक्रम के विभाग अध्यक्ष सोहराब अली ने पूरी जानकारी हासिल करने के बाद ही कोई बयान देने की बात कही।
