He said he has been cultivating crops using organic manure from 1993. “I cultivate paddy during rainy season. I reap 25 quintals of harvest. The rice is not polished and good for health as well,” he added.

I appreciate SURESH for highliting the positive of honey in Rigveda.. But I would also like SURESH to identify and research on what RIGVEDA says about oneness of GOD. instead of worshiping created thing and falling in DARKNESS unaware of the consequences on LIFE>
Please read the below and ponder which QURAN also speaks about ONENESS of God & Muslims stick to this one God concept which is also mentioned in Vedas..
Rig veda also says
Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata..
O friends, do not WORSHIP anybody but him, the Divine one, Praise Him alone. (Rigveda 8:1:1) 10
Devasya samituk parishtutih
Verily, Great is the glory of the divine creator\ (Rigveda 5:1:81)11...
Na tasya pratima asti - There is no image of Him (Yajurveda 32:3)5..
Shudhama poapvidham - He is bodyless and PURE (YV 40:8)6..
Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti muapaste - They enter DARKNESS, those who worship the natural elements. \"They sink deeper in DARKNESS, those who WORSHIP Sambhuti - (YV 40:9)7..
If U know who is this ONE god, U will surely stay away from worshiping the man made idols and Deceivers who cheat people in the name of GOD ."

In Rigveda, 1000-1500 BC, we find 1:90:6-8, prayer to sun:
Let every wind that blows drop honey, Let the rivers and streams recreate honey,let all our medicines turn honey,let dawn and evening be full of honey.let dark particles be converted into honey. So do other texts such as Atharva veda which speaks in length about bee.
In Ayurveda there are 8 different types of honey.
1) Makshikam- used in treatment of eye disease, hepatitis, piles,asthama, cough and tuberculosis.
2)Brhamaram - used in treatment when blood is vomitted.
3) Kshoudram - used in treatment of diabetes.
4)Pautikam - used in treatment of diabetes and urinary infections.
5)chathram - used in treatment of worm infestation,when blood is vomitted and diabetes.
6) Aardhyam - Effective for eye disease, cough and aneamia
7) Ouddalakam - Increases taste and swarasudhi, in treatment of leprosy & poisoning cases.
8) Daalam - it increases digestion and helps in treatment of cough,vomitting and diabetes.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh said:
Honey is the remedy for every ILLNESS
The QURAN is a remedy for all ILLNESS of the MIND.
Therefore I recommend to YOU both remedies
THE QURAN & HONEY.
When we ponder & research on it, We will get it right in this age of technology and can be proved scientifically... and those who researched it have proved that QURAN is the word of ALLAH (the only TRUE GOD who is worthy of WORSHIP).

Quran mentions about BEE.. There is a chapter named after it.
ALLAH, the all knowing says\And your Lord inspired to the BEE, \"Take for yourself and the mountains, houses, and among the trees and (in) that which they Construct. Then EAT from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down (for you). There emerges from their BELLIES a DRINK, Varying in colors, in which there is HEALING for PEOPLE. Indeed in that is a SIGN for a PEOPLE who thinks. (Ponder on God's creation)
Surah An Nahl(The BEE) ayath 68-69.
Thinkers should ponder on the ayats of the QURAN which guides the mankind... & it is the best blessing and a guidance to clear all doubts about our life in this world. Take a look at the QURAN (quranproject org)"

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.

Bengaluru, Feb 15: The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has decided to set aside two days - March 2 and 3 - for a special discussion over the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act continues across the country.

Assembly Speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri told media persons here today that the Assembly would act as a platform for legislators to speak about the relevance of the Constitution and its contributions for the last seven decades. He had already held a round of discussions with senior legislators and all have expressed their willingness to participate in the debate. More details of the discussion would be worked out in the next few days after a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee of the House on February 18.

Asked whether it would be possible to have discussions rising above partisan politics in the present scenario, Mr. Kageri said “I have appealed to members to discuss the Constitution beyond the political prism.” Each member would be asked to speak on a specific topic of the Constitution.

Bengaluru, Jul 11: Karantaka Congress chief DK Shivakumar on Friday raised questions over claims that Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Power Project Madhya Pradesh was "largest in Asia" and said a 2000 MW had been built in the state.

"BJP central government is claiming today that it inaugurated Asia's largest solar plant of 750 MW at Rewa, MP. What then is the 2000 MW Solar Plant in Pavagada, Karnataka which was built in just 3 years by Karnataka Congress government and has been operational since 2018?" Shivakumar said in a tweet.

The Congress leader further said that the most unique thing about the solar project set up in Karnataka was that the farmers were being paid yearly rents for the land upon which it was constructed as it had been leased and not purchased from them, helping them retain ownership.

"The unique thing about the 2000 MW Pavagada Mega Solar Park was that not a single acre of land was acquired from the farmers. All 13,000 acres have been leased from the farmers who are being given yearly rent. Karnataka model of renewable energy was accepted as the best in India," he said.

"Union power minister must answer as to how the Central Government can claim that the Rewa Solar Park (750 MW) opened today is Asia's largest when clearly the Pavagada Park in Karnataka is much larger (2000 MW) and was opened two years back!" he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Power Project to the nation on Friday.
