As countries move to meet their obligations under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), the tobacco industry is becoming more aggressive in its attempts to undermine the treaty by acting against the policies contained in it.  The industry is targeting the youth through increased advertising budgets in several countries of the WHO South-East Asia Region.

CM Modi releases the Resurvey Manual Shri. Narendra Modi, Hon'ble Chief Minister releases the Resurvey Manual prepared y the Revenue Department           Land is becoming a scarce commodity. Preservation of this valuable asset and effective management strategies assume greater importance. Our foresighted predecessors have gifted us a system for maintenance of revenue records. In the era of fast urbanization and industrialization, society at large is having high expectations from the Revenue Department on the land management related issues. It is also necessary to meet the demand for government land along with far-sighted planning of its future requirements. Hence, it is inevitable to administer matters of land management with high degree of meticulousness and ensure accuracy in maintenance of records as well. A pre-requisite of modernization of land records is to capture in-situ real time land related data with the field survey of land in possession and  cultiva

SIWI Water Prize 2012 Compromised

May29, 2012 Mr. Per Bertilsson Executive Director SIWI Dear Mr. Per Bertilsson, You will be horrified to discover ‘ IWMI's Mission   is to improve the management of land and water resources for food, livelihoods and the environment ’ but I have not yet come across a single document that even marginally addresses the stated objectives of IWMI. On the contrary it can be effortlessly proved they are bunch of scoundrels – Sabotaging Indian Economic Progress Instead. 1. This inventor finds it is very funny and also very stupid when River Linkers tell us there is flood in some regions and there is drought and the River Links shall transfer flood waters to drought regions. 2. Any farmer or hunter would tell you that it is easy to catch a sitting bull or shoot a sitting leopard but these Idiots would plan to diverted rivers in flood fury to drought regions across hundreds to thousands of kilometers jumping over scores of major and minor rivers.

Statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy       The IAC alias Team Anna has accused the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh of corruption and want him to be prosecuted. But not one of the Team Anna has specified under which Section of the Prevention of Corruption Act is Dr. Singh prima facie guilty. Instead the glib accusation of Team Anna appears to be to benefit Ms Sonia Gandhi's conspiracy to foist her unqualified son in the PM's chair as well as to derail the legal steps to bring the corrupt to book which Action Committee Against Corruption in India under my chairmanship is undertaking.           Team Anna has always been in the grip of Naxalite minded crazies. It is time Anna Hazare dump most of Team Anna and join with ACACI and Baba Ramdev for a nationalist approach to fighting corruption.    -------------------------   Regards, Abhishek --   Abhishek Joshi   Follow me: abhjoshi@twitter

Harendra, Shamim & Dawar in joint second

Chandigarh, May 29, 2012: R Srinivas of Bangalore produced a sizzling five-under-67 to claim the first round lead at the PGTI Players Championship being played at the Chandigarh Golf Club. Chandigarh’s Harendra Gupta and the Delhi duo of Shamim Khan and Naman Dawar are in joint second at four-under-68. R Srinivas had an exceptional opening round thanks to his brilliant short-game. His first birdie of the day came on the second hole where he chipped it to within a few inches. This was followed by a 15-feet birdie putt on the third. The bogey on the fourth did not prove too costly for Srinivas as he came back strongly with a brilliant eight-iron shot to set up a birdie on the eighth. The short and stocky Srinivas, who is yet to win his maiden professional title, collected three birdies in a row from the 11th through the 13th to take his score to five under. He chipped-in from the bunker on the 11th and then missed an eagle by a whisker with his nine-iron approach shot
