Khajan asked

दाज्यू एक बात पूछनी थी कहा हो, कि फौज में तो भट्ट की चुणकानी, चैसूं, फाणू आदि खाने को मिलता नहीं होगा, तो क्या इसे खाने की इच्छा ही नहीं करती, अगर करती है तो फिर आप इसे कैसे पूरा करते हैं।

Lalit Replied : Fauj main 1 faayda bhi hota hai ki 1-1 mahine ki chhutti lagataar mil jaati hai us samay in sab ka lutf uthate hain.

Pankaj Asked
1- आपका मूल गांव कहां है, आपने कहां तक शिक्षा ग्रहण की और कहां से की।
२- आपने लोकसंगीत की शिक्षा ग्रहण की है तथा लोकसंगीत से आपसे पहले आपके परिवार का कोई सदस्य जुड़ा था? मतलब कि यह विधा आपको विरासत में मिली या आपका ही लगाव रहा।
३- लोक संगीत की साधना में फौज की दुरुह नौकरी से निश्चित ही प्रभाव पड़ता होगा, आप उसे कैसे मैनेज करते हैं।

Garhwal post reports

Ramnagar, 30 Apr: Famous film actress Mahima Chaudhary campaigned for the Congress candidate for the Pauri Lok Sabha seat, Satpal Maharaj, here, today.Congress organised a public meeting at Gautam Nagar, Maldhan Chaur in favour of Satpal Maharaj. There was a large crowd gathered to see film actress Mahima Chaudhary. Mahima arrived there at the last moment. As Mahima arrived, the crowd almost went out of control in the attempt to see her. Everybody wanted to see Mahima. There was near chaos. Mahima addressed the public and appealed to them to vote for Congress candidate Satpal Maharaj. She also sang a song, ‘I Love My India’, during her speech. People demanded an encore, but had to be disappointed due to her busy schedule. Before the arrival of Mahima Chaudhary, Congress candidate Satpal Maharaj also addressed the public. He said that the Congress was the only one party that favoured the Dalits and economically backward. He said that the Union Government led by the Congress had granted a lot of money for the special component plan to Uttarakhand, but the State BJP government is not using it properly.

 

In Pauri the wild fire took 6 lives.

Pauri (Uttarakhand), May 1 Five people were charred to death while six seriously injured when they were dousing forest fire near their village Gagwara, 20km away from the district headquarters today, official sources here said.

As the villagers of Gagwara came to know that the fire erupted in nearby jungles, they rushed to douse it with water, sand and other things. But the fire soon engulfed a larger area taking nearly a dozen people in its grip.

उत्तराखंड में जंगल की आग से 6 की मौत

पौड़ी [जासं]। जंगल की आग बुझाने की कोशिश में शुक्रवार को छह लोगों को जान से हाथ धोना पड़ गया।

उत्तराखंड में पौड़ी जिला मुख्यालय से 13 किलोमीटर दूर गगवाड़ा गांव के सौ से अधिक लोग पंचायत वन क्षेत्र में लगी आग बुझाने गए थे। दोपहर के समय आग ने प्रचंड रूप ले लिया। ग्रामीण आग की चपेट में आ गए। इनमें पांच लोगों की जलकर मौके पर ही मौत हो गई, जबकि सात लोग झुलस गए। जिनमें से तीन को गंभीर स्थिति में बेस चिकित्सालय श्रीकोट रिफर किया गया है।

Dr. Shamsher Singh Bisht says that government is responsible for that. धधकते जंगलों के लिए सरकार की वन नीति जिम्मेदार: डा.बिष्ट

डा.बिष्ट ने कहा है कि जंगलों को सरकार ने अपनी आय बढ़ाने का मुख्य साधन माना। इसलिए नेता, नौकरशाह व ठेकेदारों के गठजोड़ ने मनमाने धन से जंगलों का सफाया किया। उन्होंने कहा कि स्थानीय जनता के हितों को न पहले ध्यान में रखा गया, न आजादी के बाद ही उनकी चिंता की गई। ठेकेदार को जंगल लूटने की खुली आजादी दी गई। लेकिन स्थानीय व्यक्ति को जर्जर मकान सुधारने के लिए एक पेड़ की टहनी काटने की भी अनुमति नहीं दी गई। जिसके कारण स्थानीय लोगों का जंगलों से लगाव ही टूट गया।

Its enough for the day.

Citizen’s Health Initiative, Uttarakhand

Before I start telling you about today’s story let me give you some more update about Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand is reeling under the scorching heat.The heat wave continued unabated in Uttarakhand with the temperature hovering between 38 and 39 degree Celsius during the last three days. The streets wore a deserted look as people refrained from moving out in the afternoon due to the oppressive heat.In Dehradoon on Thursday the temperature reached to 40.8 degrees. This has broken the 39 years record. Before that in the year 1970 the maximum temperature reached to 40.6 degree. Now come to the main story.

We have covered the story of Narayani Devi and similar stories of Women Empowerment and Village Ways in last some days. Yesterday we shared the story of farmer showing new ways of pomegranate farming. I am going to share the story of Gaurav Madan today .Gaurav Madan is part of Central Himalayan Rural Action Group (CHIRAG) .

He shares

imageMy project has been to work with Gram Panchayats in neighboring villages to create health committees within the Panchayat structure, work with these committees to understand their roles and responsibilities, come up with yearlong health action plans to address major health issues, and work to implement these plans. A large focus of organizing with Gram Panchayats on health issues has been within the framework of the National Rural Health Mission.

When I arrived at my project site and was first given the task of creating health committees, and helping these committees to create actionable health plans, I certainly acknowledged that it was going to be a steep learning curve. In fact, I had my doubts about the whole project. Not only was this my first time working on preventive health issues, and my first time working in rural India, this was the most remote place I had ever been to. The geography of the place in itself, at the foothills of the Himalayas, was a challenge I did not really understand until I began to traverse the area. My understanding grew a lot as I learned about how the National Rural Health Mission was working, what major health issues existed, the state of maternal and child health, the role of ASHAs, ANMs, and Anganwadi workers, and what had been done in the past regarding working with Panchayats on health-related topics.
