Benefits of organic farming

 Today I  watched Aamir Khan TV show SATYA MEV JAYATE about Organic Farming , It is really Fabulous , so i decided to share some  Organic farming benefits.

Organic farming refers to means of farming that does not involve usage of chemicals such as chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides. Numerous small farmers have been practicing organic farming; however, since they are unaware of the market opportunities they are not able to reap the benefits of organic farming.

"Organic farming will help farmers in improving soil fertility and health of agro-ecosystem"

Organic State
The show highlighted the efforts of the Sikkim government which is committed to organic farming. Sikkim’s CM Pawan Kumar Chamling said that they were planning to go organic by 2015 knowing full well the long term benefits of the process. The government has banned all chemicals and fertilizers and started educating farmers about organic farming.

Short-term solutions
The show then discussed how to get pesticides out of groceries. Soaking with water, rinsing and leeching, washing in brine, all help reduce chemicals.

Long term solutions
The long term solution however is the implementation of a policy that will subsidise organic farmers. There are organic outlets but there is a need to increase their numbers. He ended the show by asking people whether they wanted the Centre and other state governments to follow Sikkim’s example and aid farmers in adopting organic farming.

Satyamev Jayate effect Maharashtra flags off Generic medicine stores

So Finally the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ phenomenon has made headlines again. And this time, despite fighting their way through a barrage of criticisms and allegations, the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ team can now consider themselves as instrumental in brightening up more lives with their hearty smiles.
A few episodes back, the iconic TV show had exposed the discrepancies and corruption involved in the selling of medicines. The episode further went ahead and exposed several flaws in the medical systems of the country, and as is well-known by now, Aamir Khan and his team have had to receive the criticism of many doctors.

Aamir, however, has a reason – and a huge one – to smile about now. His show has played an important role in the Maharashtra Government giving the green signal to a lot more generic medicine stores than the state now has. The Government announced that Generic medicines would be made available across all Government hospitals. In addition, the State Government has also planned to open medical stores across the state where generic medicines will be stocked in adequate amounts, and will be readily available for people.

Aamir Khan and the ‘Satyamev Jayate’ team are on seventh heaven after receiving the news, and they have profusely thanked Chief Minister of the State, Prithviraj Chauhan and Health Minister, Suresh Shetty.

Big Fat Indian Weddings dowry system

This was the third installment of the new trending TV Show, Aamir Khan Productions Satyamev Jayate, which is entitled as 'Big Fat Indian Weddings'. Watch it from below, if you haven't did it till now:

Summary

This Episode discusses the current view of Indian Parents and Teenagers about marriages.

Marriage, in my opinion, is an extreme divine function in which two heart becomes one, without respect to Religion, Caste, or Race! But, now-a-days, it is becoming like a business transaction. Aamir Khan gets our mind go through some real life shocking incidents that is happening in present day India. He says that in current India, wives are becoming servants instead of being life partner.

The guy who swore before fire, that he would give her a shoulder to lean on, when she is sad, that he would, share happiness with her, himself is being the traitor!

Today, even though the dowry system has come to an end by the Government of India, its still happening illegally. According to the Groom's Parents, the marriage is just a business transaction, where they are considering the Bride as a Product. Some in-laws would say that they dont need any cash or any other medium of dowry, but in such homes, Bride will have to suffer a highly humiliating life. Aamir advises the parents of Bride, not to accept the marriage, even if they demand a small thing, because after marriage, demands will gradually rise. He advises them not to put their heads on the rail, knowing the train is coming. He says that actions can easily be taken by the Brides/Parents of brides, if any kind of demands (considering it as a kind of dowry) or humiliation towards wives through police.

And he redirects our consciousness towards Santhosh, a happily married man without any kind of dowries. Through this we can understand that there are still few good people. Then he shows us how can dowries be avoided by taking actions through a community, with an example of Biwandi region, where there is law that there should be no Band, Baaja, or Baraat (Any kind of show offs), on marriages. If this is violated, some communal actions will be taken against the Parents of Groom.

And he also says that we should always prefer an ordinary marriage, without any show offs, as in Biwandi, and we should take North-East states as models for such things, where Groom's side have to take all money for marriage.

And at last he says that, marriage should not be an atom bomb, where the life will be blown up, but an agarbathi, where the life is filled with fragrance of happiness!

The show Satyamev Jayate is an awesome programme which shows some true, but

should-be-abolished faces of India! Hats off to Aamir Khan, who gave us a surprise by hoisting such a program!

If you haven't watched the theme song of Satyamev Jayate yet, hear it too! Its a must watch, if you ask me!!!

Child abuse in india

Every child in this world is a gift, but hardly are they given the respect that they deserve. Child abuse is a very serious issue going around the world at present time. And the worst part is most of the cases are not reported. Running away is not the only choice we are left with when disasters happen in our life. I can’t deny the fact that most of the child abusers are the part of family or the person who is close to that child, on whom we can trust. How anyone can be so brutal? Abusing a child, what worse could anyone think of?
According to UNICEF, violence against children can be "physical and mental abuse and injury, neglect or negligent treatment, exploitation and sexual abuse. Violence may take place in homes, schools, orphanages, residential care facilities, on the streets, in the workplace, in prisons and in places of detention." Such violence can affect the normal development of a child impairing their mental, physical and social being. In extreme cases abuse of a child can result in death.

The report also says that the government is planning several things to help the child to get out of this issue. But this is just for the sake of satisfaction of people. There are lots of amendments made, several plans proposed but hardly any one of them has worked in respect with this issue. The reason behind this is simple. It’s not the government whom we have to blame. Anything bad goes in the country all we do is sit and blame the government for it. We don’t try to do anything against it. It’s we, who are the creator of all such issues. Instead of blaming the government for each and everything if we look inside ourselves then we may come to know how corrupted are we people. Government is a system of which we are the major part. Every people can contribute to make our country free from all such issues only if we try to correct ourselves.

And I feel ashamed when I reveal this report which says that in a government commissioned survey it has been found that more than 53% of children in India are subjected to sexual abuse, but most don't report the assaults to anyone. The survey covered different forms of child abuse — “physical, sexual and emotional” — as well as female child neglect, found that two out of every three children have been physically abused. The survey was carried out across 13 states over the country and with a sample size of 12,447, revealed that 53.22% of children reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse, with Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Assam and Delhi reporting the highest percentage of such incidents. In 50% of child abuse cases, the abusers were known to the child or were in a position of trust and responsibility and most children did not report the matter to anyone. Of all the children physically abused in families, in 88.6% of the cases, it was the parents who were the perpetrators. More than 50% had been sexually abused in ways that ranged from severe — “such as rape or fondling” — to milder forms of molestation that included forcible kissing. The study examined two forms of emotional abuse: humiliation and comparison. Half the children reported facing emotional abuse with 83% of that abuse begin conducted by parents. Girl child neglect was assessed girls comparing themselves to their brothers on factors like attention, food, recreation time, household work, taking care of siblings, etc. 70.57% of girls reported having been neglected by family members. 48.4% of girls wished they were boys. 27.33% of girls reported getting less food then their brothers.


Wake up from the deepest of your slumbers. Think before you act. Your every act may affect several other lives. Every child is special; make them feel how special they are. A little amount of care, a little amount of love may change several lives.

Satyamev Jayate tv show

Aamir Khan cried and made others cry. But it was not a scene from one of his issue-based Bollywood movies. These were spontaneous reactions to people’s issues on his first TV show, Satyamev Jayate that premiered on Indian television on May 6. Read on to know what we felt about the show…

THE FIRST FEW MINUTES

Satyamev Jayate began with Aamir walking on the beach, sharing his thoughts and literally explaining to his audience why he, an entertainer who is happy in his own world, cared about making a show that concerns every Indian. “Mujhe kya fark padta hai?” he questioned, providing the answer himself, “Lekin fark padta hai, kyunki main bhi toh issi samaj ka ek hissa hoon….” Aamir approached this in a very personal way, although it did seem a bit preachy. Having removed all doubts in people’s minds about his inspiration behind the show, the actor made it clear that he did not want to blame or criticise anyone or take perpetrators to court. “Sirf hungama khada karna mera maksad nahin, meri koshish hai ki yeh soorat badalni chahiye, mere seene mein nahin toh tere seene mein hee sahi, ho kahin bhi aag, lekin aag jalni chahiye,” he summed it up.

THE FORMAT

For a discerning viewer, the format seemed to be a take on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Some simply hung on with patience just to see whether Aamir could pull it off. The Bollywood star began with talking about the importance of mother dearest in our lives. While some were wondering if the episode was a Mother’s Day special since it falls on May 11, it soon became clear that the topic for the first episode was female foeticide. The actor chatted with three women who had to suffer multiple abortions and/or torture for carrying a girl child. Although he was shocked and in tears upon hearing each one’s story, Aamir handled each interaction with dignity and grace and did not forget to highlight the important points. He also spoke to doctors and researchers. The warmth of a fatherly Amitabh Bachchan talking to Kaun Banega Crorepati 5‘s contestants – most with a traumatic background – was probably missing. But then Satyamev Jayate is not a quiz show where you could just go on to the next question. This format deals with a serious issue, and tries to act towards a possible solution.

SHOCKING REVELATIONS

Statistics and reports were used as testimonials, and some shocking truths came out, for example:
- Female infanticide was started as a government scheme in the 1970s, during the population explosion in India.
- Killing the foetus in the womb is a Rs 2,000-3,000 crore industry in India.
- In some parts of India including Rajasthan, hordes of men are unmarried thanks to girls being killed before or at birth. As a result, young women from other states and communities are ‘bought’ and ‘sold’ either for lawful marriage, or forceful sexual intercourse by 4-5 men who have not been able to find a bride.
- It’s the educated and urban classes that indulge in female infanticide more than the rural/tribal areas.
- Doctors use code words for sex determination in Gujarat – if it’s a boy, they say ‘Jai Shri Krishna’ and if it’s a girl, the words are ‘Jai Mata Di’.

THE SOLUTION

He might not take people to court or directly blame anyone, but Aamir boldly showed sting operation footage of doctors involved in female foeticide on his show, and also promised to write a letter to the Chief Minister of Rajasthan asking him to transfer these cases to a fast-track court. He urged people to show support by sending an SMS, (costing only Re 1 and not Rs 3 or 6 like in reality shows), or by supporting the Snehalaya Foundation. But we wonder if Aamir were to take up all the causes (that will be addressed over 13 episodes) personally and follow them up, will he have time for his film commitments? Or is this retirement planning for the 46-year-old?

POSITIVE SIDE

It was nice to see the clippings of a poor woman, who had no qualms about having a daughter. The show ended on a touching note with a song (O ri chiriya) dedicated to the girl child, rendered by lyricist-singer Swanand Kirkire with composer Ram Sampath strumming along.

VIEWER RESPONSE

Indian families were no doubt glued to their TV sets this Sunday morning. Whether they will continue to do it for the remaining 12 episodes of Satyamev Jayate remains to be seen. But for the first episode, viewer response was so high that the Satyamev Jayate website [www.satyamevjayate.in] crashed. Twitter and Facebook also saw Aamir Khan and the show top-trending the entire day, with positive as well as negative remarks from the media, fans and renowned personalities. Websites carrying stories on the show, including Royalloops.com, got passionate comments from people with their first reactions – both by the individuals affected by the highlighted issue and the ones who simply wanted to support the cause.

LITTLE REVOLUTION

Makes us wonder if Aamir Khan is bringing about a small revolution in the country. The actor denied that he aimed to do that, saying he only wanted to unite people for the causes discussed on his show. Wethinks if Satyamev Jayate happens to unite the country like Anna Hazare did last year, Aamir Khan might just bring about a revolution in small parts of the country. At least until the show is on. And we like the idea of that. But if it actually happens, will Aamir be able to handle it?

Kanya Bhrun Hatya

कन्‍या भूण हत्‍या

मै तो चाहती हूँ जन्म लेना, लेकिन मै उस माँ की कोख में हूँ जिसकी पहले से ही दो बेटियोँ है ।
मेरा अस्तित्व अब खतरे में है । यह किसी भी पल समाप्त हो सकता है । मेरी मजबूर माँ पर दादी और
पिताजी जोर डाल रहे हैं कि वह भ्रूण का लिंग परीक्षण करवा ले । माँ नही चाहतीं पर उनकी आवाज़ ही
कहाँ है, वह तो दब गई है इस समाज की खोखली मान्यताओं के नीचे । पुत्रों को अनुचित महत्व देना हमारे
पितृ-सत्ताक पध्दती की देन है । श्राध्दों में जब तक पुत्र तिलांजली और जल नही देगा पितरों का उध्दार जो
नही होगा ।
पुत्र चाहे माँ बाप को झूटे को भी न पूछे तो भी वही घर का चिराग है । और बेटी चाहे जिंदगी भर सेवा करे तो भी वह पराया धन है । और इस पर यह परिवार नियोजन ! पहले जब 5-7 बच्चे हुआ करते थे या कभी कभी तो इससे भी ज्यादा तो कन्या भ्रूण को गर्भ में ही खत्म करने की नौबत नही आती थी । पर अब दो या तीन बस के जमाने से कन्या भ्रूणों की शामत आ गई है । ऐसा नही है कि दंपत्ती बेटियों के खिलाफ हैं, उनके जन्म पर भी खुशियाँ मनाई जाती हैं । पर अगर बेटा नही है तो कुछ कमी तो महसूस की ही जाती है । पहली संतान के लिये तो कोई लिंग परीक्षण नही करवाता, पर यदि पहली संतान बेटी है तो 90 प्रतिशत दंपत्ती लिंग परीक्षण करवाते हैं और कई मामलों में लडकी का भ्रूण नष्ट कर दिया जाता है । पुराने जमाने में राजस्थान के ही किसी वर्ग विशेष में नवजात लडकियों को दूध में डुबो कर मार दिया जाता था । अभी हाल ही की बात है जब एक स्टिंग ऑपरेशन के दौरान एक महिला डॉक्टर को, मोटी रकम लेकर, कन्या भ्रूणों को नष्ट करने का काम करते हुए केमरे पर पकडा गया था । यह लिंग परीक्षण तकनीक तो इन बेटों के दीवानों के लिये वरदान साबित हुई है ।
गाँवों में भी लोगों को इसकी जानकारी है और वे भी इसका लाभ उठाना चाहते हैं, बेटा जो चाहते
हैं सब ।कोई सोचना नही चाहता कि यह बेटों की इतनी अधिक चाहत हमें कहाँ ले जायेगी । हम दो हमारा एक नीती के कारण चीन में यह पाया गया कि परिवार नियोजन की जितनी सख्ती सरकार करती गई कन्या भ्रूण के हत्या के मामले उतने ही बढते गये और अब वहाँ स्त्री : पुरुष अनुपात इतना अधिक गडबडा गया है कि बहुतसे चीनी पुरुषों को पत्नी मिलना मुश्किल हो गया है ।
भारत में भी कुछ राज्यों मे कन्याभ्रूण को नष्ट करने कि वजह से लडके लडकियों का अनुपात असंतुलित हो गया है है । धीरे धीरे यह स्थिति विस्फोटक हो सकती है । महिलाओं की संख्या में कमी उनके खिलाफ अपराधों को बढा सकती है । और क्या पता द्रौपदी की कहानी आज भी सच ही हो जाय ।

यह स्थिति बेहद खतरनाक और अवांछनीय भी । वक्त रहते इस बारे में कुछ ठोस कदम उठाना
जरूरी है । क्या आप इस कन्या भ्रूण की मदद करेंगे ?
