Farmers' economy strengthened dueto demand for foreign vegetables

SANJAY AGGARWALDHARAMSHALA, JAN 12

Foreign vegetables have started proving to be agold mine for farmers. Due to the increase in thedemand of foreign vegetables, farmers havestarted getting rich from their cultivation. InKangra district including many districts of thestate, along with exotic fruits, vegetables arealso being cultivated on a large scale. TheAgriculture Department has been motivating thefarmers from time to time to grow vegetables.According to agricultural experts, the climate ofthe district is favorable for the production ofthese vegetables. Demand for these vegetablesremains high in hotels and restaurants. Knownas Rare Vegetables, these vegetables have agood demand in all the tourist places outside andinside the state. Foreign and high class touristsof the country demand more for suchvegetables. Delicious dishes of such vegetablesare being served in most of the star hotels. Dueto earning money, the trend of farmers hasstarted moving towards the cultivation of thesevegetables. In such a situation, the farmers ofthe district are producing foreign vegetables ona large scale. Farmers are strengthening their

economy by growing vegetables called highvalue crops like broccoli, brassel, celery, redcabbage, asparagus and tomato cherry onhundreds of bighas of land in the district. Thefarmers of the district told that they have beencultivating foreign vegetables for some years.Peas, tomatoes and cabbage contribute 62percent to the total production of off-seasonvegetables in the state, which is about 8 lakhtonnes. Vegetable cultivation is being donemainly in Kangra, Shimla, Solan and Mandi inthe state. About 70 percent of the workingpopulation in the state is engaged inagriculture, but agriculture is only 18.8 percentof the Gross State Domestic Product. Thereason for low agricultural productivity is thatbeing a hilly state, only 10 percent of the state'sland is available for agriculture. Because ofthis, more than 80 percent of the farmers aresmall and have less than 2.0 hectares of land.Also, irrigation facility is available for only 20percent of the cultivable land and rest of theland is dependent on rainfed farming. Thusmost of the farmers in the state are engaged inthe traditional cultivation of food grains, and arenot able to pay any more attention to profitablecrops like vegetables and fruits.

When my casket is being car-ried to the grave leave myhands hanging outside for

emphasizing I have come in to thisworld empty handed and shall go emp-ty handed. My whole life has been ahollow waste, a futile exercise, for noone on death can take anything withhim".(Alexander)

Greece rather Athens known for itsintellectual bastion as great scholarslike Homer, Sophocles, Euripides,Socrates, Plato, Aristotle etc. wereborn here about twenty five hundredyears ago and through their dialogues,discussions, lectures and speeches notonly enlightened themselves but alsoimparted knowledge and wisdom tothe world. Greece has one more uniquedistinction that the most illustriousand the greatest warrior and king everin the name and fame of Alexander,The Great was the indigenous of thisland of ancient culture and genius per-sons, surprisingly its population share

is only 0.13 % of the world. He wasborn in July 356 B.C at Pella, a city inAncient Greece. He succeeded his fa-ther, King Philip II at the age of twen-ty years on his father being assassinat-ed in 336 B.C. During the childhood, avery interesting incident often beingnarrated regarding his acute capabilityof perceiving and judging things at thefirst glance. When he was ten years old

his father was offered a large and mag-nificent horse that refused to be tamedfearing his shadow but Alexander sens-ing the same, in quick wit mounted thehorse.

His father, being delighted andfeeling pride in his son's abilities pre-dicted- "My boy you must find a king-dom big enough for your ambitionsMacedon his too small for you".Alexander eliminated all potential ri-vals to the throne including hiscousins, two lesser Macedoniansprinces to name a few. In 334 B.C heimbedded Achaemenid Empire and be-gan a series of campaigns and in 326invaded India and defeated KingPorous. He was never defeated in anybattle and walked 11000 miles duringhis twelve Year reign. His empire fromGreece to India totaled 20 millionsquare miles but he has to go backfrom Beas River as solider were nearmutiny due to travelling weary andhome sickness.

Alexander's father, his teachersand gurus; especially Aristotle playeda significant role in shaping his per-sonality- chiselling his intelligence,bravery, diplomatic skills, and all to-gether made him a successful leaderand a great king. But he was equallyimbibed with excessive ambition toconquer and rule over the world, whichproved fatal like Shakespeare's playMacbeth, a tragedy of ambition. Some-times desires overshadow one's wis-dom, freezes thinking power pro-pellingone away from the hard realitiesand upcoming difficulties.

This is what happened withAlexander. There has been historicallyimportant and a very marvellousepisode- "Meeting with Diogenes", acynic who like Mahavira, a SpiritualJain Guru, remained naked throughouthis life. This incident has been narrat-ed by noted historians and biographerslike Plutarch, Henry Fielding, Dio-genes Laertius, Samuel Johnsan and

even Acharya Rajnish of Osho fame intheir own different ways. Alexanderwent to meet Diogenes and after intro-ducing himself asked him" what I cando for you?" Diogenes replied," Get-away of my sunlight" Impressed onhearing Alexander said," If I were notAlexander, I would like to be Dio-genes."

Diogenes joyfully said that comenow and have rest with me as to beDiogenes is very easy but for me to beAlexander is impossible. Alexander'sambition blocked his way to a peacefulliving, but both of them died on thesame day, Diogenes being 89 andAlexander 32 years of age. (Asclaimed by Plutarch)

Besides this, he was a benevolent,considerate, and generous person, apassionate & loveable friend, that iscrystal clear from his famous quote,"My treasure lies in my friends." Hisother characteristics well reflected inthe meeting with Porous whom

Alexander allowed to retain his king-dom generously on his simple reply,"Treat me as one king should treat an-other king." Moreover the death of hisclose friend, Hephaestus was a cruelblow to him and torn him emotionally.

Though he was a Greatest Kingand marvellous person and his namewill continue shining like a Pole Starforever in the world's history. Yet hisage has not proved to be his good com-panion and died at the young age of 32why other dictators having same zealof world leader had sufficient longevi-ty of life like Adolf Hitler 56 andnapoleon 52 years of age. The epitaphwritten on his tomb stone speaks vol-ume of his Aura and a glowing tributeto this exceptionally legendary icon:-

(A tomb now suffices him forwhom the world was not enough.)

Tunnel visionIt is said that Ratan Tata was moved by seeing mid-

dle-class Indian families riding on a two-wheeler,their children sandwiched between parents. This

inspired the Tata Nano — it was developed at ‘warpspeed’ — that turned out to be the cheapest car in theworld, while it lasted. Launched with much fanfareand touted as an engineering marvel, it won AutocarIndia’s ‘Car of the Year’ award in 2010.

Ratan Tata’s vision was contracted. While theconcern for safety and comfort of the Indian middleclass is laudable, what about the big picture?

Since the 1950s, vehicles on Indian roads have in-creased by 11 per cent annually outpacing the roadnetwork, which has increased by a mere 4 per centevery year. We have traffic jams, air pollution, andaround 500 deaths daily on Indian roads. While pri-vate vehicles take up almost 70 per cent of road space,they ferry only 37 per cent of commuters. Publictransport occupies about 35 per cent of road space butcarries over 60 per cent of passengers. Ratan Tata’s vi-sion of a car for every family did not help the poor orthe rich. Both suffer from the outcome of poor airquality, increasing fatalities due to traffic accidentsand traffic jams. The permanent solution to mobilityis to improve the quality of public transport, which isin poor shape. Gustavo Petro, the mayor of Bogota,famously remarked, “A developed country is not aplace where the poor have cars. It is where the rich usepublic transport.”

Another visionary, Bill Gates, was moved to vac-cine philanthropy, ostensibly by seeing anxious par-ents afraid of their children catching poliomyelitis.The Gates Foundation set up the Global Alliance forVaccine and Immunization, investing over $750 mil-lion in this venture, subsequently exceeding to over $4billion. Gates’s zeal is laudable. But, again, whatabout the big picture?

Introduction of vaccines in the national pro-gramme should be driven by the regional epidemiol-ogy of health and disease. Vaccines have had greatsuccesses as well as great failures, particularly in de-veloping countries. The recipients are healthy people;so any adverse events, however rare, raise issues ofsafety, ethics and public trust. A robust and wide net-work of monitoring and surveillance mechanism is es-sential to pick up early signals of any adverse eventfollowing immunization. Our public health infra-structure, like roads, is in a pathetic state. Given thislimitation, rolling out newer and untested vaccineswould be like rolling out more and more private carson inadequate and poorly-maintained Indian roads.The current approach of rolling out a vaccine forCovid-19, which has an infection fatality rate of lessthan 0.1 per cent in the young and the healthy, will setthe wrong precedent.

FreedomFreedom from fear is the free-dom I claim for you my moth-erland! Freedomfrom the burdenof the ages, bend-ing your head,breaking yourback, blindingyour eyes to thebeckoning call ofthe future; Freedom from theshackles of slumber where-with you fasten yourself innight's stillness, mistrustingthe star that speaks of truth'sadventurous paths; freedomfrom the anarchy of destinywhole sails are weakly yield-ed to the blind uncertainwinds.

Russia and China block UNsupport for sanctions on Mali

Russia and China blocked the UNSecurity Council on Tuesdayfrom supporting new sanctions

on Mali for its military leaders' deci-sion to delay next month's electionsuntil 2026, a blow to the restoration ofdemocracy in the troubled WestAfrican nation.

Kenya's UN ambassador, MartinKimani, said after closed-door discus-sions on the proposed French-draftedstatement endorsing the sanctions im-posed by the West African regionalgroup ECOWAS he was disappointedthat the council couldn't agree on whathe called a relatively mild press state-ment. Kimani said the Security Coun-cil's failure to support ECOWAS' ac-tions spurred its three African mem-bers -- Kenya, Ghana and Gabon -- tospeak to reporters to fully back the re-gional bloc's position, including theimposition of sanctions on the militaryauthorities in Mali to ensure an expe-dited transition to constitutional rule.Mali has struggled to contain an Islam-ic extremist insurgency since 2012.

Extremist rebels were forced frompower in Mali's northern cities with thehelp of a French-led military operation,but they regrouped in the desert andbegan launching attacks on the Malianarmy and its allies. Insecurity hasworsened with attacks on civilians andUN peacekeepers.

In August 2020, Malian PresidentBoubacar Ibrahim Keita was over-thrown in a coup that included Col. As-simi Goita. Last June, Goita was swornin as president of a transitional govern-ment after carrying out his secondcoup in nine months. The junta initial-ly had agreed to hold a new election in

late February but the military leader-ship now says the presidential ballotwill not take place until 2026 becauseof deepening insecurity across thecountry, giving Goita four more yearsin power. ECOWAS leaders respondedSunday, calling Goita's delayedtimetable totally unacceptable and say-ing it simply means that an illegitimatemilitary transition government willtake the Malian people hostage duringthe next five years. They imposed newsanctions, suspending most commerceand financial aid to Mali, closing landand air borders with other members ofECOWAS and activating the bloc'sstandby force, saying it will have to beready for any eventuality.

The United States, United King-dom, France and other Security Coun-cil members joined the Africans in sup-porting ECOWAS' actions. Britishdeputy ambassador James Kariukicalled Mali's decision to delay elec-tions deeply disappointing, saying itbrings into question the transitional au-thorities' commitment to democracy

and the rule of law, despite assurancesgiven to members of this council dur-ing our visit to Bamako last October.

US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield accused Mali's transitionalgovernment of a blatant lack of politi-cal will ... to make progress toward or-ganizing elections and said a five-yeartransition extends the pain of the peo-ple.

The three countries also stronglycriticized the presence of the Russianprivate military company, the WagnerGroup, in Mali. French AmbassadorNicolas De Riviere reiterated his coun-try's condemnation of the deploymentof mercenaries from the Wagner Groupwho are known to threaten civilians,loot resources, violate internationallaw and the sovereignty of states. Heexpressed regret that Mali's transition-al authorities are using already limitedpublic funds to pay foreign mercenar-ies instead of supporting the nationalforces and public services for the ben-efit of the Malian people. Russian For-eign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said

that the company has a legitimate rightto be in the West African nation be-cause it was invited by the transitionalgovernment, and he has insisted thatthe Russian government is not in-volved.

Mali's UN ambassador, Issa Kon-fourou, told the Security Council thereare no mercenaries on Malian soil. Hesaid Russian trainers are in Mali to ad-vise and train its military on the use ofmilitary equipment acquired by thegovernment from Russia. Russian Am-bassador Vassily Nebenzia said: Hys-teria around the Russian company isyet another manifestation of doublestandards, for it is clear that the marketfor such services is monopolized byWestern countries.

Konfourou said the governmentwas shocked by ECOWAS' economicand financial sanctions and emphati-cally condemned these illegal and ille-gitimate measures. He said Goita askedECOWAS to reconsider its interpreta-tion of the situation in Mali, remainsopen to dialogue with the regionalbloc, and reiterated a willingness tospare no effort to ensure the promptrestoration of constitutional order insafe and secure Mali.

Diplomats said Russia consideredthe proposed council statement unbal-anced, and Nebenzia was sympatheticto the government. We understand andare cognizant of the difficulties en-countered by the Malian authorities inpreparing for general elections, theRussian ambassador said. We concurwith the fact that absent restoration ofgovernment control in many parts, re-gions of the country, it will be difficultto view the vote as legitimate.

In the presence of spiritual desireall other desires are quenched

Every person in life wants toprove himself, for which he isalways striving to do some-

thing new and good, but as he is ableto achieve his destination, his desireskeep on increasing and his every de-sire another desire starts to prevaildue to which he keeps running awaywith his fleeting desires all his lifeand is never able to achieve peace.

The desires of human life arelike the blood flowing from the bodyof the demon Raktabeej, which,when it fell on the ground, producedRaktabeej. It is said that Raktabeejhad a boon from Shiva that whereverthe drops of his blood fell, a newblood seed would take birth.

During the war, when the Dev-tas were frightened by this boon ofRaktbeej, they requested MotherDurga, on which Mother Durgafought with Raktbeej and orderedGoddess Chandika that whenever theblood of Raktabeej started falling onthe ground, she would Drink theblood Similarly, our desires also in-crease like the blood of Raktbeej, tofulfill which we all start doing goodand bad deeds, the result of which isvery terrible. It is very important forman to control his desires, this can bepossible only when like GoddessChandika, we could also control ourdesires in the form of blood seed. Tocontrol our desires, first we need toseparate our desires from our needsand realize that only our needs needto be satisfied and that our desires are

the mind's longing for some materialobject which is temporary. You willbe restless and disappointed in thelong run.

We need to understand thatwhen we satisfy our physical desires,our emotional and other related de-sires will also increase and ruin ourpeace of mind and contentment. Ithas been observed that the desires ofthe mind never end because it is a vi-cious cycle in which one desire endsand another begins. Therefore, it isextremely important to stop this un-favorable tendency of mind in the be-ginning to be really happy and peace-ful in life.

Not all desires are bad, especial-ly those that are intellectual andaimed at self-improvement and de-velopment, in fact these are desiresthat should be replaced by physicaland emotional ones as these desiresto prosper in our lives. are necessary.Desire to be better than others, moreappreciative than others, more suc-cessful, powerful, intelligent, knowl-

edgeable, initially these desires mayseem right but these are very impor-tant for our social and psychologicalwell being as a healthy Ego is whatwe need to adjust to our surround-ings. So, the technique is to develophigher intellectual desires instead oflower material desires and finally ifyou can sow the seed of the highestkind of desire which is spiritual de-sire, then in the presence of spiritualdesire all other desires are quenchedand there is only one There is a burn-ing desire which is to become self-re-liant in every way and attain supremepeace of mind.

If we still cannot pacify the de-sires of the mind, then we should fol-low another way which is to satisfyour desires with moderation and learnto be satisfied in life with what wehave because contentment is thegreatest wealth. As written in thescriptures of various religions whichare actually true, as we see rich peo-ple are never satisfied and go on toachieve more at the cost of health, re-lationships, peace of mind and Onewho gets nothing, except more de-sires which are aimed at happinessand a normal person who is satisfiedin himself is happy without desires.So, the main concept is that you canbe happy without any desire. Be-cause the pursuit of happiness is themain reason we hold onto our desires.

New approach to identify youngchildren most at risk of obesityAnew study has

found an easy-to-interpret met-

ric that could help iden-tify young childrenmost at risk of develop-ing obesity. The find-ings of the study werepublished in the journal'Econometrics and Sta-tistics'.

The study, led byresearchers at PennState, used novel statis-tical methods to estab-lish scoring criteria us-ing data collected fromyoung children. The re-search also demon-strates that robust re-sults are attainable fromstudies that are orders-of-magnitude smallerthan typical geneticstudies when compre-hensive data is collect-ed over time and usedin conjunction withpowerful statisticaltools.

"About 18 per centof children in the Unit-

ed States are obese, and6 per cent are severelyobese," said SarahCraig, assistant re-search professor of bi-ology at Penn State.

"If we can identifychildren most at risk,we might be able to pre-vent obesity from de-veloping in the firstplace. In this study, weproduced risk scoresbased on genetic infor-mation that clinicianscould potentially use toidentify young childrenwho would most bene-fit from intervention

strategies," addedCraig. This study is partof a larger projectcalled INSIGHT (Inter-vention Nurses Start In-fants Growing onHealthy Trajectories),coordinated through thePenn State Health Mil-ton S. Hershey MedicalCenter, in which re-searchers and clinicianswork together to identi-fy biological and socialrisk factors for obesityand the impacts of re-sponsive parenting in-terventions during achild's early life.

isar: UPL Ltd., a global provider of sustainable agriculture products and solutions has helped farmers in Rajasthan and Haryana increase the yield of their mustard crops by as Hmuch as 10 percent using its ProNutiva package in the second phase of a programme

that, when replicated on a larger scale, can slash India’s dependence on edible oil imports. The ProNutiva Package included three biological products from UPL’s sustainable solutions portfolio – Zeba with its superabsorbent profile helped in maximising water utilisation and nutrition; Copio helped improve soil heath and made nutrients available; Macarena helped the crop fight stress by providing required nutrition. In addition to increasing the yield, the package also increase the oil content of the mustard crop significantly. The programme was rolled out across 11,000 acres under mustard cultivation as part of its second phase. The first phase last year covered 5,000 acres. Edible oils are an important part of the Indian cooking and yet 60 percent of the country’s edible oil needs are met through imports. Rajasthan and Haryana accounts for 60 percent of the mustard produced in India. This project therefore has a huge potential to increase the domestic production and achieve self-sufficiency in mustard. Ashish Dobhal, Director, India Region, UPL said, “We, at UPL, are dedicated to the welfare and prosperity of the farmers who are our key stakeholders. Through innovation, we aim to provide sustainable products to farmers that guarantee them not just financial stability but also environment sustainability. Through the application of this crop package, we aim to increase the yield and oil content of the mustard crop, thereby contributing to making India a self-sufficient producer of edible oils.” Savesh Kumar, Head, Field Marketing-India, UPL, said, “With our mustard crop package we are trying to overcome the farmer pain points of water management, soil nutrition and nutrition absorption. The initiative so far has shown tremendous results and we hope to make this initiative a national success. We are delighted to see the incredible results from the program, which has led to not only an increase in the crop yield, but also boosted farmer incomes. Another similar example of the Pronutiva success is in Gujarat in groundnut crop.”

We reached out to Farhana Fatema (Shanti), who informed us, “Method acting has proved to be one of the most effective practices to get into the skin of the character. And I am following that for my upcoming episodes, where you will get to see me quiet. Your Ashaant Shanti will go shaant (laughs). However, this is not easy. I being a talkative person, there have been a lot of times when I had that urge to reply to a conversation, but I held on to myself. I had also instructed my entire team to not speak with me to support me in this. But there are times when they forget that and hit off a conversation with me, but I try my best to not utter a word. It also makes me feel guilty at times”. Speaking about the track Farhana goes on to add, “My character Shanti overhears her husband Mishra (Ambrish Bobby) telling how irritated he is because of her constant anger and bak-bak, and that is when she decides to take a Maun Vrat.

"We've got to just see where they're at, see what theirbodies can handle and then assess from there. I think theyneed to make sure they feel like they're physically in aplace where they can get through five days of hard cricket,whatever Australia throw at them, and they're in a positionwhere they can go out and play and firstly, get through thegame, but also, most importantly put in a performance asthey managed to last week as well," ESPNcricinfo quotedRoot as saying.

"It's alright being fit to play but you've got to be fit toperform and I think that's what we've got to work out," headded. Wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler has already re-turned home after suffering a broken thumb in the fourthAshes Test. Sam Billings has joined the squad and it wouldbe required to see whether he is named in the playing XI.

"All you can do when you're on the fringes, is work ashard as you can, and make sure you feel as ready as youcan. One thing about this tour and all tours really in thesebubble environments, this Covid-19 world that we are cur-rently living in, is there's not always opportunities to go outand play and to have game time," said Root.
