National symposium on plant
protection in JU Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Oct 12: Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives Ch Mohammed Ramzan has stressed the need for sustainable and integrated pest management for the plant protection and better production of food grains and other agriculture and horticulture produce. Inaugurating two-day National Symposium on plant protection at Jammu University here today, the Agriculture Minister said the country has achieved a record production of food grains to the tune of 203 million tonnes but there is still need of improvement and overcome about 25-30 loss caused by insect pests in the fields as well as stores. The produce at this time may be sufficient but by the year 2030, a double production of the existing one is required to meet the national challenge. Referring to the indiscriminate use of pesticides which had created more serious problems such as pesticide residue in most of the fruits, vegetables, development of pest resistance and emergence of minor pests as major ones. He pointed out that generally field problems and the needs of growers either are neglected or taken for granted. He stressed the need for demonstration at the farm level with real feed back from from the field. This programme/ symposium on " Plant Protection Strategies for Sustainable Agri-horticulture" is being organised jointly by Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture Sciences, Jammu and society of Plant Protection Sciences, New Delhi. The major theme of the symposium is to identify and evaluate management practices against agricultural crop pests, diseases and nematodes in different agro-ecological regions, identify newer possibilities or combinations of compatible methods of management and provide common forum for plant protection scientists working on different group of pests and diseases to develop an effective IPM strategy. The chief guest also released SKUAST Souvenir on plant protection on this occasion. Addressing galaxy of scientists from various parts of the country at symposium, Prof H U Khan vice-chancellor of SKUAST- Jammu emphasised the need to evolve IPM strategies for sustainable crop production which will check heavy yield loss caused by insect pests. By resorting to this prevention method, the food grains amounting to approximately Rs 26,000 crores per year can be saved. Mr Khan further said that indiscriminate and over exhorbitant use of pesticides has led to many problems like adverse effects on parasitoids, predators, pollinators and toxic residue, causing various health hazards. In his welcome address Prof Rangil Singh spoke on various problems being faced in agriculture production fields in the country. He stressed the need for more research work in the field of agriculture and minimum use of pesticides to avoid its harmful effect on the health. Toxic chemicals spray several times on crop definitely effects the produce and integrated approach is required to overcome this growing problem. Dr S N Puri in his brain storming lecture spoke on various aspects. He said for the population of about 103 crores in the country this time sufficient food grain production to the tune of about 203 million tonnes has been achieved. But there is need to increase the production every year to meet the challenge ahead. The World Trade Organisations agreement recently will change the whole scenario. Variouis type of food products will be entering the country and it will pose major challenge to the Indian produce. The country produce will face the world competition on account of this produce. He acknowledged about the most harmful impact of pesticides and stressed the need of rapid methods of estimation of quality of foodgrains or other produce. A lot is yet to be done in this field and more emphasis is needed or research work. Seventeen scientists from all over the country were honoured on this occasion for this distinguished work. They are —Dr Parvata Reddy from Bangalore, Dr Udit Narayan, Dr Jagdishwari Rao, Dr Pandey, Dr T K Dass, Dr Promila Gupta of Allahbad, Prof G L Dhariwal of Ludhiana, Dr T Kameshwar Singh from Manipur, Dr S S Mishra from Shimla, Dr Sehdev Singh, Dr A N Shrivastav, Dr V R Bhagwat, Dr S S Singh from Almorha, Dr R D Gautam, Dr Gopal Reddy, Dr A K Sinha, Dr Pratibha Sharma, Dr Mourya, Dr B Ambedkar, Dr Rajinder Parsad, Dr S S Chouhan, Dr S Ramakrishna and Dr S N Singh.

Purchases to be made by SPD only: Sagar Excelsior Correspondent SRINAGAR Oct 12: The procurement of stores material for various wings of the works department would be, in future, made through the Stores Procurement Department only. This was decided at a review meeting of the engineering departments held here yesterday under the chairmanship of Minister for Works, Mr. Ali Mohammad Sagar. Speaking at the meeting, the Minister said, the decision to channalize the procurement of stores material through a single department has been taken to overcome the inordinate delay in the supply of material for execution of schemes in the works sector. Mr. Sagar said the procurement wings of all the engineering departments would be wined up and the purchases of stores material, equipment and machinery would be made by the stores Procurement department only. The Minister said, the practice of procuring stores material by different engineering departments on their own was causing unnecessary delay in the execution of schemes as a lot of time was wasted in the procurement process. He said funds would be allotted to the stores procurement department in advance for purchase of stores material so that the engineering departments do not face any difficulty in getting the required material in time. The Minister expressed grave concern over the delay in execution of developmental schemes especially in the PHE sector under ARWSP. " Wherever the money has been released, the scheme should be completed within the stipulated time,". Mr. Sagar said and warned up stern disciplinary action against the officials who fail to complete the schemes within the stipulated time. The Minister also expressed serious reservations over the heavy cost revision of PHE schemes and said that such practice should be done away with immediately. He asked the engineers to come up with perfect project proposals while submitting the projects so that there is no need to go for cost revision at a later stage. The Minister said cost revision would be only allowed after on the spot assessment of the scheme by a technical committee. On the instruction of the Minister a team of officers, headed by Joint Development Commissioner, Works was constituted for the assessment of the schemes where the cost revision has been projected. |

Veterinary Clinic, Sub
Office building inaugurated Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Oct 12: Making a scathing attack on Pakistan for perpetrating terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the Minister for Urban Development, Mr Ghulam Mohi-u-Din Shah said she is presently reaping the fruits of what she has done in Kashmir. Inaugurating the new Municipal Veterinary Clinic and office building at Dogra Chowk here this afternoon, the Minister said the position of Pakistan has become totally awkward at present and she is helpless to fight against the Taliban who are her creation. Holding the Pakistan responsible for overthrowing the Government of Rubani by installing the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, he said she has been punished for her own sins. The Minister asserted that had Pakistan not nourished the terrorism in Kashmir, the situation could have been better at present as lot of destruction has been faced over these years. Referring to the present volatile situation in Kashmir which is the creation of Pakistan, he said we are sitting on an explosive and no body knows when it will explode. But instead of escaping we are committed to bring the state out of present mess, he asserted. He said the situation has become so critical that no body knows whether he will return in the evening or not but still the escapism is no solution to the problem. Terming the accession final, he said Pakistan failed to grab Kashmir during the 1947 aggression as the people of the state who had resolved to accede with the secular India of Nehru and Gandhi resisted strongly to Pak invaders. Their rejection of two nation theory dealt a strong blow to Pakistan , as we believe in the secular philosophy he said, adding later in other two wars when Pakistan also failed to grab the Kashmir, she perpetrated a proxy war. Mr Shah also maintained that some blunders have also been committed by us which are the cause of present turmoil. He however, expressed the hope that the day is not far away when normalcy will be restored in the State. The Minister asserted that the situation has changed a lot in the State since 1996 when we took over the reigns of the Government. He said the situation was so disturbing when NC took over that even the police was not cooperating with the Government at that time. He while lambasting the communalist forces said all religions are equal and all creations of God are one before Him. There is no inferior or superior, he added. Stressing on religious tolerance and coexistence he said those spreading canards that Hinduism or Islam are in danger are the enemies of mankind. Such people perish with the tide of time and those who realize the reality progress and take the nation forward. Mr Shah also asked the people not to believe in regional discrimination and maintained that there is no dominance of one region over other. He while saying the State is facing many constraints expressed the hope that the time is not far away when we will overcome all our problems. Appreciating the role of Jammu Municipality, he said despite constraints it is tirelessly working for the welfare of people. He made an appeal to all the MLAs of Jammu district to donate a certain amount from constituency Development Fund to Civic Body for the purchase of tipper and loaders. He said the Veterinary clinic constructed here is the fourth in the country. He congratulated the Jammu Municipality for taking steps for treatment of animals also. He said in foreign countries the animals are given the same treatment as human beings but we lack such facilities in India. He said like the hospitals for humans they have hospitals for the animals also. At another function held earlier the Minister inaugurated the new Municipal Sub Office building at Nagrota Park, near Jambolochan Community Hall at Karan Nagar. He was accompanied by Ch. Piara Singh, Mr Hans Raj Dogra and Begum Salaria all MLAs, Messrs K R Padha, Secretary Housing and Urban Development, Pawan Kotwal, Administrator Jammu Municipality, M L Padha Executive Officer and Kiran Wattal Executive Engineer Jammu Municipality. Highlighting the achievements of the Jammu Municipality, Mr Kotwal said the inauguration of the new Municipal Veterinary is a major milestone in the history of JM. This is the first step,towards the realization of our dream of having a full fledged veterinary Hospital for the Municipality. He said the process started in July last year when Municipality was faced with increased population of stray dogs. He said due to the legal restrictions imposed on killing of dogs, the Municipality thought of launching the animal birth control-programme. He said this proved a revolutionary step and till date 510 operations have been conducted. |

Scientific studies have enormously increased the information and the concept of management has been greatly revolutonized provided the treatment is started aggressively and at the earliest. He suggested that an approach of climbing the pyramid has to be changed and a theory of 'Hit early and Hit hard'' has to be followed in order to get the best results. He appreciated the efforts of Aventis, a leading pharmaceutical house for having helped in organising such an important meet on 'World Arthritis Day.' He also complemented the management of the company for having launched a new drug Arava (Leflunamide) for the patients of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
