Lecture on water discipline by DRI
ARREST WASTAGE; MAKE BEST USE OF EVERY DROP
|
 Deendayal Research Institute (DRI) organised a lecture in New Delhi on May 10 on water discipline. The lecture was delivered by noted water expert Dr Sudhirendra Sharma. Dr Sharma said water discipline means arresting wastage of water and making best use of every drop available. He said water scarcity needs everybody’s attention and we all have to understand how we are wasting the water. We waste hundreds of litres of water every day even while shaving or brushing the teeth. Not only this, the flush that we use after going to toilet, also wastes about 14 litres of water every time. We all need to think of it.
He said the capitalism treats the people only as consumers. Therefore, everything is being sold. The sale of water is part of the same game plan. The nation needs changes in such policies urgently. The prime reason of the growing water problem is the existing system. The water availability in 2001 was 18 lakh litres, which reduced to 15 lakh litres in 2011. There is very possibility that it might have got reduced to 10 lakh litres. Despite that we do not seem ready to preserve water. We take water from the rivers, but do not want to think how to keep the rivers alive by keeping them clean and ensuring minimum flow there.
Speaking on the occasion senior journalist Shri Atul Jain said our ancestors followed the strict water discipline. That is why they made adequate arrangements for its preservation. Many other eminent people of Delhi were also present on the occasion.

VISUALLY IMPAIRED GIRL FROM DAMOH TOPS MADHYA PRADESH BOARD EXAM
16-year-old Shristi Tiwari has topped the humanities stream of Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education by securing 481 out of 500. What makes her feat more remarkable is that she is visually impaired. She stands fourth in the overall merit list of Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education.
 Shristi Tiwari had cataract in both her eyes since birth and despite 11 surgeries, her condition did not improve. In fact, with time it only worsened. Now, she has only five per cent of sight left, that too in only one of her eyes. But she did not let her disability come in the way of her studies. She has been a bright student since the beginning, with many scholarships and certificates in her name.
Shristi told NDTV that she is very happy with her results and thanks her maternal family who were with her on every step. They not only helped her prepare for exams but also made her overcome her mental hurdles due to the disability and also boosted her confidence.
Shristi, after class 5th, has been staying with her maternal grandparents Virendra, Sunita and uncle VK Gangele. They noticed her keen interest in studies and encouraged and helped her in all possible ways. Shristi knows Braille and with the help of it takes down notes in school. Her uncle also got her a low-vision device with the help of which she reads text from books on her own. However, the device is strenuous for her and she cannot study for more than an hour at a stretch. So, her grandparents and uncle prepared her notes and narrated to her again and again till she was able to grasp and memorise them. This is how Shristi prepared for her boards. She would daily study for four to five hours and with the help of a writer she answered her exams.
"We prepared her notes, read it loud many a times, consulted many course materials and made her memorise subjects and then she was able to give her exams," said her maternal uncle VK Gangele.
While many might be amazed by Shristi's accomplishment, for her the journey has just begun. She wants to join the Indian Administrative Services and help others like her become a part of the mainstream. (Inputs from Siddharth Ranjan Das)

COOPERATIVE BANKS SERVE THE PEOPLE WITH SOCIAL VISION
-Dattatreya Hosabale
|
 Eminent economist Dr R Baidyanathan of IIM Bengaluru and RSS Sah Sarkaryavah Shri Dattatreya Hosabale jointly inaugurated the 82 nd branch of Thane Jan Sahakari Bank (TJSB) at Jayanagar in Bengaluru on May 7. The TJSB is an RSS inspired initiative in the cooperative sector. It is the second branch of the Bank in Karnataka, first in Belgaum. In his speech Prof Baidyanathan said a multi-state cooperative bank like TJSB serves for a large community. Far greater than the stock market business, the reach and network of a cooperative bank is highly valuable in the national economy. He said Indian women have high sense of economic management. They match the unmatchable income-expenditure ratios in the family. Whether it is gold or any other material, all serve as an economic security for her and the family.
Shri Dattatreya Hosabale said Karnataka has given birth to great mainstream banks which are now nationalised. “However successful cooperative banks have emerged in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Rising above the barriers, the people of Karnataka will support the Bank, which serves the community with a social vision. The TJSB belongs to the Sangh Parivar where, I too come from,” he said.
Quoting Mahatam Gandhi’s words on customer-Business relations he said “I don’t have any bank account in any part of the world. I stopped signing cheques also for years. However, I speak on behalf of the customers.” Chairman of the bank Shri Vidyadhar Vaishampayan, Vice Chairman Shri BV Date, Chief Executive Officer Shri Satish Utekar Branch Manager Shri Pramod Deshpande, RSS senior functionaries Shri Du Gu Lakshman, Shri Bhojaraj of Laghu Udyog Bharati, educationist Dr MK Shridhar and other prominent personalities also attended the function. Founded in 1972 the TJSB has 81 branches in Thane, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Nashik, Pune and also in Goa and Gujarat.
