TDP Turns 34,Party's Values At Stake

On this day in 1982, legendary actor lateNandamuri Taraka Ramarao founded theTelugu Desam Party with the motto ofupholding Telugu pride and self respect.NTR later created history with a sensa-tional victory by uprooting the Congresswithin 9 months.

This morning, TDP presidentNara Chandrababu Naidu hoisted theparty flag at NTR Bhavan and later paidhomage to NTR at NTR Ghat. Extendinghis 34th anniversary greetings, Babu ap-pealed to his cadre to strive for realizingNTR's dreams and upholding the party'svalues.

However, it is these very val-ues of the yellow army that are at stakein the current political scenario. Thevalues with which the late NTR foundedthe party are slowly evaporating now,thanks to the lackluster efforts, scan-dals and corruption by Teluguthammullu.

Events like the recent Opera-tion Akarsh, the cash for vote scandal,crores of scam in the sand gate byTelugu thammullu and not much devel-opment in the state even after two yearsof its governance etc have lessenedpeople's trust on the TDP to a great ex-tent.

Since the beginning, the TDPused to maintain a huge difference fromother political parties, but with its val-ues sidelining with each passing day,the TDP is losing all its shine and theline between the TDP and other partiesis narrowing.

With just 3 years left for thenext elections, the TDP has a herculeantask to regain the diminishing people'strust. It's high time for the TDP to wakeup and get back to its previous glory. -See more at: http://www.gulte.com/news/48116/TDP-Turns-34-Partys-Val-ues-At-Stake#sthash.OP9c98hJ.dpuf

Road that gives nightmareThere are hundreds of places in Andaman and Nicobar Islandswhere proper roads have not been constructed yet, as some por-tion of the land fall under Forest Area.Recently the Union Minister of Shipping, Road Transport & High-ways, Shri Nitin Gadkari during his public speech and press con-ference has said that environment has become an hindrance forthe implementation of some major projects here, the Minister saidthat if need arises some modification in the Forest EnvironmentAct can be made He had also said that for such minor hiccupsimportant projects must not be halted.But in Andaman for simple Forest Clearance file moves for yearsand years.For example since last three decades the residents of Loha Bar-rack are waiting for a proper rural road from Mamyo Junction toLoha Barrack creek area. Nearly 15 years back although someparts of the road construction work began but it did not completejust because two portion of the land fall under Forest Area andthere were objections from Forest Department.

The APWD says it has no idea about forest land while thetop Forest Department says it has no idea about the entire mater.However a few junior level forest officials mislead the public andAPWD by saying that the file seeking clearance has been sent toMinistry.

Nobody has any knowledge whether there is any proposalfor construction of a rural road from Mamyo to Loha Barrackand the time taken for getting forest clearance for the road, ifsuch clearance is required.

In 2011 in reply to a Parliament question the then RuralDevelopment had informed that no such proposal for construc-tion of rural road has been received from A & N Islands. TheMinister of RD had also stated that the repair and maintenanceof rural roads rest with the state governments.

With this, it becomes clear that the matter is now pendingwith Administration and not with the Ministry and hence the Ad-ministration must take necessary steps to de-notify the small ar-eas from reserve forest and to complete the road constructionwork as soon as possible.There are many such cases like Loha Barrack and the Adminis-tration must now take immediate steps to solve this minor prob-lem, which are causing major discomfort.

along with Belgian PMNAINITAL: Prime MinisterNarendra Modi will be acti-vating Asia's largest 'generalpurpose' optical telescopeinstalled in Devsthal, 60 kmfrom Nainital through 'Re-mote Technical Activation'while on a visit to Belgiumon Wednesday, March 30.

The releasedated March 29 said, "Alongwith Prime Minister CharlesMichel, I would remote ac-tivate the India-Belgium AR-IES (Aryabhatta ResearchInstitute for ObservationalSciences) Telescope." Thestatement also condemnedthe terrorist attacks in Brus-sels, the capital of Belgiumand expressed solidarity andassertion of standing shoul-der to shoulder on toughtimes.

Harsh Vardhan,union minister of Scienceand Technology and Minis-try of Earth Sciences willvisit the site of the installa-t ion of the telescope onWednesday in Devsthal.Belgium has contributed 7%finances to the project alongwith technical assistance.

Wahab Uddin, act-

ing director of AryabhattaResearch Institute of Obser-vational Sciences said,"Honourable Prime Ministeralong with Belgian head ofstate will be activating thetelescope on his tour to thiscountry. Our union ministerwill also be present with usat the installation site to wit-ness the moment of this greatachievement. It is a greatachievement for our nationand whole of scientificcommunity."Earlier, in April2015 mechanical, electricaland optical procedures forsetting up the telescope hadbeen completed. Any tele-scope undergoes threephases to become fully op-erational-Assembly, Integra-tion and Verification. TheARIES has completed all thethree phases on February 29

.The 'general pur-pose' optical telescope of di-ameter 3.6 meter and with150 tonnes will help in thestudy and exploration ofstarts, planets, magneticfield and astronomical de-bris. The mirror of the 3.6diameter optical telescopehas been entirely 'coated' inby the scientists and techni-cians of ARIES in the coat-ing facility which became

operat ional in January2015.Elaborating on the highcapacity and robust technol-ogy of the equipment,Brijesh Kumar, "The tele-scope can be operated withthe help of remote controlfrom anywhere in the worldinvolving high technology."

The 10 storey build-ing which houses the tele-scope is specifically de-signed and equipped with airand temperature control forsmooth function of the tele-scopes. ARIES had alreadyinstalled a telescope of 1.3meter diameter in the build-ing in 2010. The facility alsohas four special cranes tohelp in the movement of thetelescope which can movesas slow as 'few millimeter'per second.The second larg-est 'general purpose' opticaltelescope is also installed inIndia in Kavalur by Indian In-stitute of Astrophysics,Bengaluru. In 'general purpose'telescopes, observations of as-tronomical events can be madeby moving them while in 'spe-cific purpose' telescopes ob-servations depend on the plan-etary movement of earth. Thelargest specific purpose tele-scope in Asia is in China with4 meter diameter.

IT Centre... (From page 1)

on 5th September 2007.”The IT Centre was set

up by spending several lakhs ofrupees but after nearly nineyears no can find where the ITCentre is.

When last timeAndaman Sheekha team visitedthe school it was found that outof 25 computers, which wereprocured for the IT Centre, pres-ently only few computers areworking, almost all computerchairs are broken and computertables are in pathetic shape.

According to reportsonce all of these computers usedto function wonderfully welland all these PCs were con-nected with Broadband andLAN. For nearly three years theLab was used for various pur-poses by students but slowlythings changed.

In 2010 when the Edu-cation Department took overthe school from TGCE, sincethen the computers were alleg-edly never repaired and thebroadband lines got discon-nected as bills were not paid.

Many Computers andparts have vanished in thin airand no one knows what IT Cen-tre means now.

Similarly, a Children’sPark, set up at Govt. Demon-stration Multipurpose School(GDMS), Primary, MiddlePoint, Port Blair nearly six years

ago, spending several lakhsof rupees, today look de-serted. Due to lack of main-tenance and use all the equip-ments are gathering rust aswell as dust. Once the parkwas bustling with childrenbut now the park is domi-nated by insects. Wild grasseshave grown taller than littlechildren and hence out of fearno student of GDMS Primary,dares to venture inside thesaid park.

When reportedabout this park by AndamanSheekha in 2013, there weresome efforts to cut grasses butagain grasses have growntall. Photographs taken byA ndaman Sheekha todayshows that even today mostof the equipments are out oforder.

Both the IT Centreand the Park of the Schoolwere inaugurated by the then

Lt. Governor as such high pro-file inauguration guarantees allthe privileges but sadly thereis no one to maintains equip-ments and devices worth sev-eral lakhs.

Why there is no in-quiry against such gross wast-age of public money? Is thereanyone answerable in Educa-tion Department regard ingsuch misuse o f tax-payers’money?

Public requests the Lt.Governor to pay a visit to theschool to see how due to negli-gence government propertiesworth several lakhs got dam-aged.

A ndaman Sheekhadoes not intend to attack oneperson or one department, thisis a report about discrepanciesin system and we hope that theAdministration will take somesteps so that such wastage ofpublic money is not seen again.
