Raj has waived off `14k cr farm loans: CM
Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: With the allega-
tions and counter alle-
gations being levelled
by political parties at
each other regarding
being ‘pro-farmer par-
ty’, Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot came for-
ward on Tuesday refut-
ing BJP’s allegation
that Rajasthan govern-
ment has not kept its
promise of waiving
farmers’ loans.
Firing salvo at Union
minister Smriti Irani
who recently toured
Jaipur and claimed that
Congress did not wave
off farmer loans, Ge-
hlot corrected the facts
and asserted that his
government has waived
farm loans worth over
`14,000 crore in state.
“BJP leaders from
DelhicometoRajasthan
to peddle false narra-
tive. BJP is not giving
up on negative politics.
The minister did not do
complete homework on
the facts. After taking
oath of office on Decem-
ber 17, I held a press
conference on 19 De-
cember waving farm
loans taken from coop-
erative and land devel-
opment banks by 20.56
lakh farmers along
with `6072 crore pend-
ing payment of previ-
ous government,” Ge-
hlot said.
While making the
claim, he also ques-
tioned why has the
Modi government not
waived farmer loans in
the entire country as
the then UPA govern-
ment did in 2008 of
`72000 crore. He also
targeted Modi govern-
ment over the fuel price
hike saying value-add-
ed taxes on petrol and
diesel are higher in the
BJP-ruled states than in
Rajasthan and the party
leaders should get it
slashed. “The crude oil
price is around 50 dollar
per barrel, why then is
the fuel price around
`90 in the country,” Ge-
hlot questioned and
claimed that Modi gov-
ernment has conspired
to curtail state’s share
in the basic excise duty
on petrol and diesel.
“The central govern-
ment is increasing the
special excise duty and
additional excise duty
in a conspiring manner
so that states do not get
any benefit while the
centre’s coffers keep
filling,” he said.
Gehlot said Irani
should remind the
prime minister about
his promise to give
Eastern Rajasthan Ca-
nal Project the national
status. He said a pro-
posal by the Rajasthan
Cabinet on the issue
was sent to the Centre
but the Modi govern-
ment has not taken any
decision on the issue.

Bharat Dixit
Jaipur: The first gener-
al body meeting of the
JaipurHeritageMunici-
pal Corporation became
the boxing ring of coun-
cillors where ruckus
reigned supreme. Coun-
cillors of both the par-
ties not only raised their
voices but even kept
pushing each other in
the heat of the moment.
MiffedthattheBudget
proposal was not dis-
cussed, the BJP council-
lors boycotted the meet
and left the house. On
the other hand, while
the ruckus was ongoing,
the Mayor Munesh Gur-
jar passed seven resolu-
tions one after the other.
Actually, the Mayor did
not give BJP councillors
a chance to speak while
they were seeking to dis-
cuss the budget address,
because of which, there
was an uproar in the
house.
Not only this, but the
Mayor gave orders to re-
move former deputy
Mayor Manish Pareek.
After their exit, BJP’s
councillors accused the
Mayor. However the
high point came when
Congress councillor
UmarDrajraisedallega-
tions on deputy Mayor
Aslam Farooqui.
The uproar started
with BJP councillor
Kusum Yadav’s state-
ment on the budget ad-
dress. Yadav termed
the annual budget to be
a loan based budget
and questioned as to
how will it be repaid
upon which Congress
councillors started
raising slogans and the
BJP councillors also
jumped in the uproar.
As the crescendo in-
creased, councillors
from both the parties
came inside the well.

t a time when so
little interna-
tional business
is face to face
because of the
pandemic, the United King-
dom is flying ministers to
India to lay the groundwork
for a deal on free trade.
In a sign of the impor-
tance that the UK attaches
to reaching what is being
described as an “enhanced
trade partnership” with
India on the back of Brexit,
the international trade sec-
retary, Liz Truss, has met
Piyush Goyal, the Indian
commerce and industry
minister.
It is part of a British
wide charm offensive with
the subcontinent that al-
ready saw UK Foreign Sec-
retary Dominic Raab pay-
ing a visit in December. So
what is at stake and what
are the chances of success?
India is already the UK’s
sixth-largest non-EU trad-
ing partner after the US,
China, Japan, Switzerland
and Norway, and the rela-
tionship now supports
more than 5,00,000 UK jobs.
In 2019, bilateral trade in
goods and services between
the two countries were re-
spectively worth $15.7 bil-
lion and $18.9 billion and
becoming increasingly im-
portant. The UK’s services
exportstoIndiahavegrown
at 7% a year between 2013
and 2018, and yet India con-
tinues to enjoy a trade sur-
plus with the UK. The UK
is also the second-largest
investor in India.
Meanwhile, India is the
second-largest investor in
the UK after the US. India
invested in 120 projects and
created 5,429 new jobs in
the UK in 2018-’19. Indian
companies in the UK turn
over an excess of £40 bil-
lion. Steel to car-making
giant Tata is easily the
largest, but there are many
other major Indian em-
ployers, such as First-
source (contact centres),
Tenon (facilities manage-
ment), HCL (IT services)
and TVS (logistics).
THE UK’S NEED
FOR A DEAL
WhenDominicRaabvisited
India before the turn of the
year, it saw a declaration of
aten-yearroadmaptowards
upgrading the nations’ 2004
strategic partnership into a
new“comprehensivestrate-
gic partnership” involving
closermilitaryties,coopera-
tion in the Indo-Pacific re-
gion, and measures to coun-
ter-terrorism and fight cli-
mate change.
UK Prime Minister Boris
Johnson was due to visit
the subcontinent in Janu-
ary but postponed until the
spring to deal with the lat-
est wave of the Covid cri-
sis. His counterpart Naren-
dra Modi is also invited to
attend the G7 summit in
Cornwall, south-west Eng-
land in June, and there is
no question that the eco-
nomic realities of the pan-
demic and changed geopo-
litical priorities following
Brexit provide an incentive
for both sides to negotiate a
fast-track trade deal.
FortheUK,thisreiterates
the government’s “Global
Britain” strategy of devel-
oping stronger ties in Asia
Pacific – in line with the
country’sapplicationtojoin
theCPTPPfree-tradebloc.A
trade deal with India is an
opportunity to foster post-
Brexitandpost-Covidrecov-
ery
, giving British business-
esgreateraccesstoamarket
of 1.3 billion people when
the prospects for global
growth after the pandemic
still remain uncertain.
UK companies already
have a growing market
share in India in several
sectors, including food and
drinks despite high tariffs
and other trade restric-
tions. Notably, India is the
third-largest market for
Scotchwhisky
,forinstance.

ature has provided us with the fa-
cility to delve into our own inner
resources to the full through mind-
fulness, or being meditatively fo-
cused — this is the fundamental
principle that propels us to engage
ourselves with our inner being, or
soul, and turn things around from
the inside out, as and when need-
ed. It is up to us to use this divine
gift to participate in our own areas
of activity and creativity — to live
well in a harmonious and useful
manner. It takes us towards a fully
awakened, exciting voyage — to
meeting and overcoming the many
trials and tribulations of our life.
In so doing, it turns our good rela-
tionships into a universal fusion
of healthy partnerships and
shared thoughts, or feelings. It is
the source of our blossoming and,
perhaps, the best ‘gadget’ we could
all use for ourselves and also for
others around us — for our good
and their good. It ‘ups’ the inde-
pendent character of our own life.
Being mindful is living in the pre-
sent moment. It helps us to deal with
day-to-day issues, or difficulties, in a
constructive, also self-assured, man-
ner. Yes, you are reading this article
in your favourite newspaper. Thanks.
But, chances are you may not be read-
ing it. Maybe, you’ve just had a quick
look at it as you savoured your morn-
ing cup of tea or coffee. We can’t
blame you for it, because you have so
much to do — and, so little time. But,
wait a minute — you may be wrong,
in spite of your earnest intentions.
Is there a way out of this every-
day ‘jam?’ Yes — and, you may not
believe it. First things first — just
slow down your pace and relax.
Speeding up things is not the best
way of doing it. Also, think of a
process where you learn how to be
in the present moment, not what-
can-be, or could-be moment. It will
help you lead, and live, a fuller life.
This is apparently a simple, practi-
cal ‘act’ — one that will guide you
to paying close attention to what
you’re doing at any given point in
time. It is also something that will
help you do only one thing at a
time. It will not throw you off bal-
ance from your busy schedule.
Being mindful, or meditatively fo-
cused, is a great tool-kit. You not only
make up for a lost time by performing
more efficiently, but you will also see
problems as they are — not what you
have, till now, imagined them to be.
Not that mindfulness will take you on
a great journey where difficult situa-
tions recede at the proverbial drop of
a mantra. Far from it — rather, it is a
state of being that provides you with
useful prerequisites to dealing with
difficulties in a thoughtful, practical,
decisive, proactive, and progressive
manner. So, the next time you get
worked up, go out for a brisk walk, or
listen to soft, soulful music, or write
down what you feel, or felt like, in
your own words. As Jon Kabat-Zinn,
the American professor of medicine
and creator of the Stress Reduction
Clinic and Center for Mindfulness in
Medicine at the University of Mas-
sachusetts Medical School, explains,
“The best way to capture moments is
to pay attention. This is how we cul-
tivate mindfulness. Mindfulness
means being awake. It means know-
ing what you are doing.”
You don’t have to be a Zen master
to learn mindfulness. All you’ve to
do is look at situations dispassion-
ately — like choosing what you’d
most likely do in the given circum-
stance, or reaping the rewards by
responding in the most mindful
manner that is your own. This
holds the key to turning dull, bor-
ing routines into enriching, also
worthwhile, experiences. It’d, in
the process, also help you work and
(re)focus on the vistas, resonances,
and fragrances around you.
It’d be interesting to note that the
scientific relationship between elec-
troencephalogram (EEG) activity,
meditation, and allied mindful prac-
tices has been extensively investigat-
ed during the last six decades. The
accepted view today is that focused
mindfulness, or meditation, produces
a type, or form, of relaxation, includ-
ing a sense of inner calm — and, not
sleep. This is precisely the reason why
any meditative practice that one is
comfortable with has become one of
the several approaches to ‘teaching’
individuals and/or patients how to
relax. To paraphrase the globally re-
nowned spiritual leader Thich Nhat
Hanh, “Meditation is ‘mouth yoga.’”
This is because, when you breathe in,
you smile. When you smile, you’d be
able to purge your worries, hostile
feelings, and also negative emotions.

MODI BIDS TEARY
FAREWELL TO AZAD
ajya Sabha, which has been witnessing
pandemonium over farm laws, wit-
nessed rare heart-warming emotional
scenes on Tuesday. The occasion was
Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad’s
farewell from the House. Azad’s term ends on Feb-
ruary 15. Recalling a tragic incident in which some
people from Gujarat were stuck while a few others
were killed in a terror attack in the Valley, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi described in a choked
voice how Azad was so concerned for the return
of survivors and the corpses to Gujarat as if they
were his own family members. Azad was then the
chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir. Praising
the Leader of the Opposition in the House with
whom he has had a long association, Modi said
that Azad’s replacement will have difficulty fitting
into his shoes. Azad too got emotional when he
spoke of his decision of not going to Pakistan and
urged Muslims to feel proud to be in India.
OnMonday
,Azadhadpraisedtherecentelections
held in Jammu-Kashmir for which he was applaud-
ed by the prime minister. Taking a swipe at the Con-
gress, Modi said that the Grand Old Party should
not interpret Azad’s compliments in a wrong way
.
Azad is one of the members of the Group of 23 (G-
23) which wrote a letter to the Congress high com-
mand seeking structural changes in the party
. The
letter had caused ripples as voices of dissent in the
Congress were getting louder. Although Azad’s was
one of the dissenting voices, the party will surely
miss a good parliamentarian and his good counsel.

THE GLACIAL TRAGEDY
IN GARHWAL HILLS
he glacier burst in the Chamoli district of
Garhwal in Uttarakhand on Sunday has
caused massive destruction to life and
property with 30 persons reported dead
and nearly 197 missing. Three days after
the natural calamity
, a major search operation is on.
While more bodies continue to be found, the NTPC
and a private company must be calculating their
losses. The Rishi Ganga hydel power project owned
by a private company was washed away
, while NT-
PC’s Tapovan-Vishnugad Hydro Power Project suf-
feredextensivedamageinthesuddenfloodcausedby
the melting glacier after it broke off. The Himalayan
tragedy revived the horrific memories of the Kedar-
nath floods caused by a cloudburst in 2013. Nearly
6000 people were feared dead in the flash floods.
Ecologists have repeatedly warned against nat-
ural disasters in the Uttarakhand hills ever since
a 6.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Uttarkashi in
1991. Various studies have classified the region as
quake-prone. The debate raged for almost a decade
over the construction of the Tehri dam. With in-
termittent natural disasters striking the Garhwal
region, scientists and environmentalists have been
raising the issue of environmental degradation for
the sake of development. The warning has gone
largely unheeded as over 50 hydel power projects
dot the region. The way thousands of trees have
been felled for the strategically important Chard-
ham road project has also been a cause of concern.
Besides protecting the environment, India also
needs scientific advancement to identify glacial
lakes the outburst of which leads to sudden flood-
ing, like the one on Sunday, to prevent such occur-
rences in the future.

A portion of the Nanda
Devi glacier broke off
in Uttarakhand’s Cha-
moli district on Sunday,
triggering an avalanche
and a deluge in the
Alaknanda river sys-
tem that washed away
hydroelectric stations
and endangered lives of
people living along the
banks.
Shah told the Rajya
Sabha that the rising
water levels washed
away the functional
Rishiganga small hydro
project of 13.2 MW and
also affected the under-
construction 520 MW
NTPC Hydro Power
Project at Tapovan on
the downstream of the
Dhauli Ganga river.
Twelve people work-
ing on the NTPC pro-
ject and 15 on the Rishi
Ganga one have been
saved. In a tunnel of
NTPC project, approxi-
mately 25 35 people are
suspected to be trapped,
Shah said.
“I assure the House
that the Centre is ex-
tending all possible as-
sistance to the state gov-
ernment for relief and
rescue work. The Cen-
tral government is
working in close coordi-
nation with the state
and all necessary steps,
which are considered
appropriate, are being
taken,” he said.
Besides, eight teams
of Indian Army, includ-
ing one Engineer Task
Force (ETF), are carry-
ing out rescue opera-
tion at the incident site.
A diving team of the
Indian Navy has also
reached the site for the
rescue operation.
DIDN’T SIT...
“I did not sit in Ra-
bindranath Tagore’s
chair. I want to clarify
in the LS that I did not
intend to hurt any sen-
timents.”
Referring to a letter
by the VC of Shantini-
ketan, Shah said that
there was no violation
by him during his visit
to the place as he didn’t
sit in the chair but by a
window.
“You (Adhir Ranjan
Chowdhury) have un-
fortunately been misin-
formed, as this is pa-
tently untrue. In the
past, during their offi-
cial visits for Uttaray-
an, a number of digni-

shift seat, which is ac-

the House.
“I worry that after
Azad whosoever will
take over from him will
have to fill very big
boots because he cared
not only about his party
but about the country
as well as the House.
This is not a small
thing, this a big thing,”
Modi said.
“I would like to de-
part with only a few
words using a few cou-
plets. A ten-hour speech
can be summed up in
merely two couplets by
a poet. And I would like
to take that approach.
To express my thoughts
on my entire political
career would be a tough
task to perform,” Azad
said in Rajya Sabha.“If
any Muslim should feel
proud in the world, it
should be the Indian
Muslim. Over the years,
we have seen how Mus-
lims countries from Af-
ghanistan Iraq getting
destroyed. There are no

RAGA SLAMS CENTRE’S DEVELOPMENT MODEL
New Delhi: Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi on
Tuesday alleged that
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi’s development
model will reduce the
number of Public Sec-
tor Undertakings (PSU)
and it will harm the
country
. “Mr Modi’s ‘Vi-
kas’- PSUs to be shrunk
to one-tenth. Country’s
loss, crony’s gain,” Gan-
dhi tweeted. He further
said that in this develop-
ment the country has
suffered a loss and the
PM’s close friends have
been benefited.
The Congress MP has
been attacking the cen-
tral government and
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi on every front.
Whether it is about the
budget or the issues re-
lated to farmers, the is-
sue of India-China bor-
der tension, he has been
constantly asking ques-
tionstothegovernment.
Earlier, Congress
leader accused the Cen-
tral Government of re-
ducing the pension of
soldiers in the Union
Budget and ignoring the
farmers and youth of
the nation. He further
accused that the Centre
has only three to four
industrialist friends
who are ‘God’ for them.
Earlier too, the Con-
gress leader had target-
ted the Union govern-
ment over the budget,
saying that cowardice
runs deep in the gov-
ernment of India.
Taking to Twitter, he
had stated that in her
budget speech this year,
the Union Finance Min-
ister used the word
“Prime Minister” 6
times the word “cor-
porates/ companies” 17
times but did not men-
tion “defence” “Chi-
na” even once.

‘Corona unlikely to have
leaked from China lab’
Wuhan: The coronavi-

peared in humans after
jumping from an ani-
mal, a team of interna-
tional and Chinese sci-
entists looking for the
origins of COVID-19
said Tuesday, dismiss-
ing as unlikely an alter-
nate theory that the
virus leaked from a
Chinese lab.
A closely watched
visit by World Health
Organisation experts
to Wuhan the Chinese
city where the first
coronavirus cases
were discovered did
not dramatically
change the current un-
derstanding of the
early days of the pan-
demic, said Peter Ben
Embarek, the leader of
the World Health Or-
ganisation mission.
But it did add details
to that story, he said at
a news conference as
the group wrapped up a
nearly four-week visit
to the city.
And it allowed the
joint Chinese-WHO
team to rule out one
theory on the origins of
the virus. The Wuhan
Institute of Virology
has collected many vi-
rus samples, leading to
allegations that it may
have been the source of
the original outbreak,
whether on purpose or
accidentally
.
But experts now con-
sider the possibility of
such a leak so improb-
able that it will not be
suggested as an avenue
of future study, said
Embarek, a World
Health Organisation
food safety and animal
diseases expert.
China had already
strongly rejected that
possibility and has pro-
moted other theories.
The Chinese and for-
eign experts consid-
ered several ideas for
how the disease first
ended up in humans,
leading to a pandemic
that has now killed
more than 2.3 million
people worldwide. —ANI

Dehradun: Villagers
of Raini village in Tapo-

have expressed con-

flash floods may be the
result of heat being pro-

device. Raini village
lies near the area which
saw the maximum de-
struction caused by the
flash floods.
The device was lost in
1965 during a secret ex-
pedition to Nanda Devi
conducted by the CIA
and IB to plant nuclear-
powered surveillance
equipment on the sum-
mit of the mountain for
spying on China.
However, the moun-

got caught in a blizzard
and had to return, leav-

they went back to the
area, they could not

Jaipur: The Union
Home Ministry has pre-
pared an action plan of
Rs 826.49 crore for vari-
ous states of the coun-
try in which Rs 52.10
crore has been ear-
marked for the pur-
chase of resources and
equipment for the Ra-
jasthan police.
The ministry has di-
vided the states into two
categories for releasing
the fund under police
modernistion.
Category ‘A’ consists
of ten states including
Himachal Pradesh and
Uttarakhand. In this
category, the share of
centre and state in the
budget remains 90 and
10 percent respectively
.
Rajasthan is among
18 states in category ‘B’,
where the centre-state
share in the budget re-
mains 60-40 percent.
Presentations will
have to be made before
submitting the proposal
to the High Power Com-
mittee on behalf of the
state government.
The state govern-
ment will pay directly
to the Ordnance Facto-
ry for various weapons,
armaments,otheritems
proposed and the police
department will have to
give a utility certificate
to the Ministry of Home
Affairs when the budget
amount is spent.
The ministry releas-
es the budget as per the
current circumstances
of the states.
In the category A, a
maximum budget of Rs
29.33 crore will be allot-
ted to Assam and the
lowest amount of Rs
1.97 crore will be allo-
cated to Sikkim.
FINALLY AKHIL
ARORA HAS
HIS SAY!
CM Gehlot’s popular and
revenue oriented excise
policy has proven to be a
morale booster for a team of
senior bureaucrats including
Niranjan Arya, Kuldeep Ranka,
Akhil Arora, T Ravikant and
Jogaram but now it has been
learnt that Principal secretary
Finance Akhil Arora, had the
prime responsibility of drafting
a competitive excise policy and
had to rush through a series of
‘difference of opinions’ on the
part of T Ravikant and Jogaram,
but ultimately Arora emerged as
the final winner.
According to sources, it is
for the first time that a ‘risk’
has been undertaken in the
policy through new experiment
after Arora was directly given a
mandate to include it in policy,
and according to this, Arora
contributed to the new policy
accordingly.
According to knowledgeable
sources, Secretary Finance and
Excise Commissioner had no
role in forming the policy, but
it has come to light that they
obejected to several points and
marked their disagreement.
The new policy has been
formulated on UP pattern after
Arora held detailed discussions
with several knowledgeable
individuals on this subject.
It is for the first time that
micro brewery plants have
been approved in the state. In
2014, the then chief minister
Vasundhara Raje had envisioned
that micro-breweries should
be started in the state but the
then Principal secretary Finance
Rajeeva Maharshi did not let
this happen. However, seven
years down the line, Arora in his
capacity of Principal Secretary
Finance prevailed.
The risky decisions taken
in the new policy while pose a
challenge when it comes to their
enforcement for which Arora
will have to work hard and hold
proper monitoring. Now, it is
a major challenge before an
efficient excise commissioner
Jogaram to get the policy
implemented in letter and spirit
at the ground level.

First India Bureau
Bharatpur: Holding
farmer rally in the east-
ern districts of Ra-
jasthan, former deputy
chief minister Sachin
Pilot appears to be mak-
ing a bid to strengthen
his foothold among the
masses and hence the
rallies.
In his Bayana rally
held on Tuesday, it ap-
pears that no one party
has a definite and if not
that, then an approxi-
mate near to the origi-
nal number of the gath-
ering, since one assess-
mentclaimsthenumber
was between 10-12 thou-
sand while other claims
thenumbertobearound
15,000.
However, Pilot camp
itself believes that the
number was around the
20,000 mark and has also
claimed the same.
The number could
have been derived from
thefactthatahugenum-
ber of cars had reached
the venue. Interestingly
,
while on one hand a
crowd of thousands was
amassed, there was also
a free ‘bhandara’ at
Fatehgiri Maharaj and
most of the crowd
reached the bhandara
following which they
reached the rally venue
and therefore the
bhandara got converted
into a Kissan rally!
However, suspense on
an approximate number
of people that took part
in the rally remains a
mystery!
Meanwhile, during
the rally Pilot said on
Tuesday while the BJP
government has prom-
ised to double farmers’
income, the saffron par-
ty is “standing against”
the tillers in a time of
crisis. He reiterated the
demand of withdrawal
of the Centre’s three
contentious farm laws,
saying the Congress is
in support of the farm-
ers. Pilot said this on
Tuesday while address-
ing farmers at Fateh Sa-
gar, Bayana and Jasora
in Bharatpur district,
and in Dausa.

sent possibilities for the
emergence of new op-

hile the world
has been tack-
ling the COV-
ID-19 pandem-
ic, in Ra-
jasthan, FAYA
Coordinators
are working to prioritize
the health of women and
adolescent girls in rural
communities. FAYA pro-
ject led by NGO Popula-
tion Foundation of India
is implemented in 4 dis-
tricts of Rajasthan – Dun-
garpur, Karauli, Bundi
Tonk with support of The
Young People Foundation
(TYPF) and field partners.
The program aims at en-
hancing knowledge of
adolescents about their
sexual reproductive
health (SRH) and building
a conducive environment
so that they can access
SRH services and infor-
mation.
Despite the restrictions
and difficulties faced by
people due to lockdown,
these young coordinators
ensured and motivated
other youth to ensure that
adolescent girls have ac-
cess to health information
and services. One such
story is from Dabella vil-
lage in Dungarpur. Rake-
sh Parmar, a resident of
this village in Dovda clus-
ter, shared, “It was sug-
gested to us by Harish (a
field coordinator from Ja-
tan Sansthan - implemen-
tation partner of Popula-
tion Foundation of India),
that even during the lock-
down, it is very important
to take care of the health
of mothers and sisters in
our community
.” Harish is
a youth from Dovda gram
panchayat. After complet-
ing graduation, he served
as ward panch (an elected
PRI member) and is now
actively engaged in ad-
dressing adolescent health
issues within the commu-
nity.
Rakesh further explains,
“My mother is currently a
Ward Panch and keeps me
motivated to work towards
improving our community
.
After the lockdown, on the
advice of Harish, I formed
a team of village youth and
convinced them that they
should ensure the availa-
bility of sanitary pads. On
a day to day basis, I keep
sharing the health issues
faced by village adoles-
cents and women with
Harish , he gets them re-
solved through the ANM.”
Anju, FAYA Project Co-
ordinator, from Jatan San-
stha, Dungarpur says “To
address the problem of
unavailability of sanitary
napkins, Harish is also
educating adolescent girls
on making and hygieni-
cally using cloth pads. Har-
ish has learned about cloth
pads from an online webi-
nar organized by The
Young People Foundation
under FAYA program.
Rakesh and his team with
the support of Harish have
been ensuring that the
community members fol-
low social distancing
norms and stay at home
during the lockdown.
When a medical team vis-
ited their village for the
screening for COVID-19, he
and his team members en-
sured full cooperation by
the community members”.
“Through WhatsApp, I
keep our school staff, Har-
ish and ANM updated
daily about the health-re-
lated activities and the
needs in our village. After
all, only if my village is
healthy, I will be healthy,”
said Rakesh.

Abhi-well-done!
A
bhinandan Sin-
gh aka RJ
Abhi, who has
been a Radio
Jockey in Jaipur and
various other cities
like Chandigarh, Shim-
la, Ludhiana, is now
hosting one of the big-
gest reality shows of
Punjab, ‘Miss PTC Pun-
jabi 2021’.
The show aired
worldwide from Febru-
ary 1; however, the An-
chor started his prepa-
ration way before. “I’ve
lost 4 kilos in 10 days,
thanks to the keto diet,
the difference of which
can be seen from my
aired promo to the
mega audition’s final
episode,” RJ Abhi
shared.
The show is to be
judged by Bigg Boss
fame Himanshi Khura-
na, famous actress and
Politician Gurpreet
Kaur Chadha from
Mumbai and Japji
Khera, the beautiful
face of Punjabi films.
Talking about the fu-
ture projects, he said,
“I plan to resume the
projects which were
put on hold since lock-
down.” On further ask-
ing his interest in host-
ing Hindi reality
shows, he shared, “I
hosted one show last
year with the ace come-
dian Sunil Pal being a
judge on Anjan Tv;
since I strongly believe
in Manifestation, I’m
pretty sure that’ll hap-
pen very soon with
God’s grace.”
ASTROLOGICAL
ADVICE
F
or the next 3
days, intense en-
ergy will be in
circulation due
to 6 planets coming in
one zodiac sign in the
sky. In astrology, these
planetary alignments
create energy that is
not favourable.
There are ways to
overcome this accord-
ing to our ancient rem-
edies which we will
share with you so that
this energy can be
converted into posi-
tive for individu-
als. Do the follow-
ing these 3 days:
1Chant, your
favourite man-
tra for at least 24
minutes.
2 Chant the Navg-
rah Mantra at
least once.
3 Talk less and
avoid discus-
sions as people will
be on edge.
4Many couples
may have argu-
ments, anticipate
this and be more
tolerant as dur-
ing this time
egos will in-
flate. So, be cautious
and do not to get angry
.
5Light a clay lamp
with mustard oil or
sesame oil, anywhere in
the house after sunset.
6Offer water to the
rising Sun.
Astrologically from
tonight and Feb 10 to 11,
again 6 planets will be
in one zodiac sign, but
now in Capricorn sign,
with lower power than
2019 configuration.
These planets are Sat-
urn, Jupiter, sun, moon,
mercury and venus.
SUSHMITA AIND
I
t’s the Valentine’s Week and
you must be wondering why
the importance of such
things have risen up all of a
sudden? First, it was roses, fol-
lowed by chocolates and now
teddy bears. But, why not! As we
celebrate the season of love, re-
gardless of whether we like
teddy bears or not, remind your-
self and your partner that love
is worth celebrating. It’s the
only feeling that might make
you do stupid things, churn up
the butterflies in your stomach,
but, in the end, it’s all worth it!
In the words of Friedrich Ni-
etzsche, what is done out of love
always takes place beyond good
and evil! Go ahead and surprise
yourloverwithagiftof warmth.
City First wishes you the best
on the occasion of Teddy Day!
Happy Teddy Day
