Great and Godly work.Keep up the same spirit.I request schools and colleges to have atleast half an hour cleanliness classes for students.
Lets not be lifeless towrds our surroundings.
In Japan, they involve students from 5th grade and above in farming in the school premises.Potatoes,tomatoes are grown by students in the farm.Same vegetables are taken to school canteen for lunch .We need to implement farming classes in schools so that child gets encouraged in the agriculture field and help the farmers with new farming technologies etc.

Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka Congress leaders held a protest against the state government against amending of APMC Act, at the premises of Vidhan Soudha here.

Few days ago, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had said that the new amendment in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act will substantially aid the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce.

"Amendment will not dilute the powers of the work of the APMCs. All these marketing activities will be monitored by the Directorate of State APMC. This new amendment Act will benefit farmers in improving their income & suffering from losses due to market fluctuations," the Karnataka CM tweeted.

Yediyurappa further said that the amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022.

"This amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022. I want to clarify that we have not removed the APMC Act, we are only amending 2 sections of the APMC Act which enable farmers to sell their produce at the markets where they intend to," he tweeted.
