Rotary initiatve brings electricity to rural houses

March 26, 2011

Mangalore, March 26: Thanks to the special initiative of Rotary Club of Bantwal, the dream of more than 100 families residing in the remote villages under Kavalpaduru Gram Panchayat near Vagga in Bantwal taluk, of an electricity connection in their homes is becoming a reality.

Union Minister for Law and Justice M Veerappa Moily on Saturday formally launched a model project by switching on electricity connections to about 50 houses.

The Rotary Club has taken the initiative to provide connections to 110 houses in Kavalpaduru and Kadabettu villages. The wiring work of nearly 50 houses has already been completed and the remaining will be done within two or three weeks.

The major hurdle for the fulfillment of the dream of the villagers was the requirement of Rs 10 lakh for the 75 electric poles, wiring and metering, which the villagers could not afford.

According to Rotary Club Bantwal unit president M Ashwani Kumar Rai, the electricity connections will be provided to the houses of poor families in the Gram Panchayat soon under the Rotary Sampoorna Vidyut Grama Yojane.

He said a joint survey was conducted along with the Gram Panchayat to identify poor beneficiaries in the village. Those who are not in a position to afford the cost of wiring and other charges were selected as beneficiaries.

Each house will be provided with three electrical points for bulbs and another point for the plug, with a sanctioned load of around 240 watts, Rai said adding that the entire cost of electrification will be borne by the Rotary.

It may require around Rs 10 lakh to complete the project as at least 75 poles need to be erected. The work is expected to be completed by the end of the second week of April.

Rotary also has plans to provide solar electricity to houses, which are not fit for electrification as per MESCOM norms, Rai added.

Shantanu Gupta’s book on BJP to become part of curriculum in Indonesia’s Islamic University

News Network

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.

Stupidity of faculty.

They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.

When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.

This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.

God give wisdom to Indonesians
