According to a joint statement issued by Mohammad You- suf Tarigami and Hakim Mohammad Yasin, the two senior leaders of AMM have said that the budget has nothing sig- nificant to offer and instead has furthered desperation and disappointment for different sections of society be it the un- employed educated youth, people associated with business, agriculture, horticulture, handicraſts, causal labourers, daily wagers, ASHAs, contractuals, SPOs, old aged and handi- capped, Nambardars and Chowkidars. ere is no mention of budgetary provisions for newly created administrative. “e AMM is dismayed over the response to the grave unemployment crisis in the state as the present budget lacks comprehensive plan to address the unemployment crisis in the state. It was expected from the present budget to miti- gate the sufferings of the educated youth who are craving for jobs and most of them being at the verge of age bar. Handicraſts sector which is considered as traditional source of employment, is shrinking and the people associated with the business are sure to be dismayed as their aspirations have not been reflected.” e two leaders said that the budget is also silent about the delayed payment of wages to the casual labourers working in different departments for years together.

The Budget expects the revenue expenditure to touch Rs. 32948 crore. Rather said that the next years size of annual plan would be of order of Rs. 11300 crore with a PMRP component of Rs. 600 crore. Rather said that the Government has improved the tax and VAT remittance in the State resulting in more revenue to the Government. He said VAT remittance in the State during last five years has increased from Rs. 1836 crore to estimated Rs. 4800 crore for the current fiscal which shows a cumulative in-crease of 161%. He said the total revenues (Tax and Non-Tax) have increased significantly from Rs. 2683 crore in 2008-09 to Rs. 6700 crore for the current year with an annual increase of 30%. He said the nontax revenue which stood at Rs. 837 crore during 2008-09 has increased to Rs. 2160 crore during last year. Saying that tax revenue in the State has witnessed 33% increase during the span of last five years of the present coalition Gov-ernment, Rather said the tax revenue which was just Rs. 2600 crore in 2009 is expected to increase to Rs. 7500 crore during the next fiscal.Speaking at a jam packed about one hours long press confer-ence, soon after delivering his Budget speech in the Legislative Assembly today, Mr. Rather said this steep increase in tax rev-enue, without levying new taxes has been possible due to the better tax management and plugging of loopholes in tax collec-tion system, adding that he has been convening periodic review meetings of the department under his charge regularly to assess performance and ensure better budget management and fiscal discipline.Mr. Rather said the performance of the State, on account of tax collection and budget management, has been lauded by every relevant forums at the national level including Planning Com-mission of India (PC), Finance Commission, Union Finance Ministry and the State’s Principal Accountant General. “Even the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has in unambiguous terms patted the State for its internal resources mobilization initiatives”, Mr. Rather added.He said it has been the coalition government’s endeavour during last five years not to levy any tax burden on the people not, withstanding economic inflation at the national level. He said that due to effective implementation of Fiscal Responsi-bility & Budget Management Act (FRBM), the State has been able to be within the ambit of targets assigned by the Planning Commission adding that the State was well ahead to centre in minimizing its fiscal deficit as per the assigned targets in this regard. He said economic growth rate of the State is also better as compared to National figure, adding that the Empowered Committee of the State Finance Ministers has appreciated the State for bringing improvements in Budget management and fiscal discipline.

for the rulers of the state who have spent more than 300 crore on the air fleet.He stated further that the common masses of Kashmir have been historically suffering under NC regime and the same will continue till the change arrives at large. “The people of the state have only one reason to welcome this budget- it is the last bud-get of NC government.”Akhtar further told KNS that the Budget is “without any mean-ingful intervention and as usual for NC to maintain status quo and begging bowl syndrome.” “The only thing expected from it is that it would provide salaries to employees and luxuries to rulers of the state who have been spending Crores for their comforts.” (KNS)

the marketing facilities and infrastructure for horticulture pro-duce. Nothing has been earmarked with regard to establishment of cold storage chains across the state for better marketing of horticulture produce. Subsidization of fertilizers, pesticides and farm equipment, reducing the interest on farm loans, enhanc-ing allocations for irrigation sector have been totally ignored.“The government has once again shown its in-sensitiveness towards the basic issues confronting the common man and consequently the budget does not carry any mention of food security, universalization of public distribution system, solving unemployment and making social security schemes people ori-ented. A major chunk of population has been left out of PDS as the state was getting food grains as per 2001 census, they said adding that it would have been in the interest of the common man to provide subsidy under state share on the food grains and other daily needs.”They added that there is no mention of any initiative to reg-ularize the daily wagers working in various departments for many years. “The budget is silent about enhancement of hon-orarium in favour of the anganwadi workers and helpers out of state share and improving their working conditions alongwith ASHAs who were rendering services tirelessly.” (KNS)

said Governors must also ensure that the pluralistic character of our nation is not tarnished in any manner. The President said during his address to the Governors and Lt. Governors through video-conferencing on July 25, 2013, a suggestion emerged that Groups of Governors should be con-stituted to deliberate upon issues such as the Role of Gover-nors as a bridge between States and Centre; Areas under Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, North Eastern Council and relat-ed issues; Areas under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution, Role of Governors as Chancellors of educational institutions in improving the quality of higher education and Disaster Man-agement. The groups of Governors have submitted reports with invaluable suggestions. These suggestions would serve as useful input for policy makers.

Mehbooba said it has been the practice of the present govt to use curfew and curbs as the substitute to democratic method of engaging with alienated people,listen to their feelings and re-spond with understanding and compassion. She said govt has lost the argument on human rights violation and has lost mor-al courage to engage with our own people on decent and civi-lized live. “It has tried to inflict a peace of graveyard on Kash-mir through draconian laws, arrests, police cases, persecution, chilly grenades and pellet guns which has stopped evolution of a democratic culture in the state”, she said.

The establishment of a new business partnership could re-quire a lot of paperwork today, Libra. It might be really tedious trying to make sense of all the jargon involved, but it’s impor-tant to you, so you’re likely to be more persistent than usual. Someone more familiar with these matters could explain the ins and outs to you. This is likely to be a very fortunate develop-ment for you, so don’t lose heart. Hang in there!

Legal documents that concern your business may need to be executed today, Scorpio. There might be a lot of paper to wade through, not to mention jargon that appears indecipherable. Don’t get too impatient, however, as this is important. Instead, find someone more familiar with this sort of thing and get him or her to explain it all to you. Then, assuming it’s agreeable, take care of it and move on. The results should be well worth it!

Today you might consider making an investment of time, energy, and perhaps a little money in a creative project of some kind, Sagit-tarius. This could also involve modern technology in some way. You could have several colleagues who want to work with you on this, and therefore the entire enterprise could be very exciting. Be sure not to lose sight of the practical details involved or you might never get it off the ground.

Visitors might come to your home today to discuss business of some kind, Capricorn, perhaps job related, perhaps about an enterprise you’re developing on your own. If you aren’t care-ful, however, you could get caught up in conversations that are more social than practical and thus lose sight of the reasons you got together. Stay focused on the matter at hand and you could be pleasantly surprised at the results.

A rush of excess ambition could cause you to channel a lot of your physical and mental energy into whatever work you’re do-ing right now, Aquarius. This might involve writing, teaching, or speaking in some way. As a result of your zeal, your body could be exhausted but your mind spinning like a top, even though the thoughts coming up may be scattered. It might be best to pace yourself now more than you’re inclined to. Stay focused!

An upcoming visit from someone close may have you working overtime in order to fix up your house, Pisces. Therefore, you could be tempted to go crazy buying dec-orative items. This is fine up to a point, but be careful! Some of the stuff that looks good in the store might not look quite the same once you get it home. Your guest is more interested in seeing you.

A goal related to business or finance that is very impor-tant to you could require you to pay a lot of attention to pa-perwork today, Virgo. You’re likely to spend most of the day on it since a deadline may be involved. Take care, however, that you don’t get so caught up in a quest for perfection that you stress yourself out. Sometimes obsessive attention can sabotage the very aim you’re working toward. Stay focused and pace yourself.

Working at home might be the answer for you today, Aries. You could be physically and mentally worn out from working too hard, but you still have important tasks to complete. You may operate better on your own territory right now, without having to fight traffic or parking problems. You tend to be very consci-entious where work is concerned, sometimes to your own detri-ment. Don’t do this today; otherwise you might burn yourself out.

News you may receive about your place of business or the people you work for might bring up some doubts about your future in this organization, Taurus. You might feel that you aren’t getting anywhere. You might be considering the possibility of changing jobs or even careers. Someone may put forth a type of opportunity that you’ve never considered before. Think about it, but don’t decide for a few days.

Paperwork involving money might seem a bit overwhelming today, Gemini, and you might ask a friend for advice or assistance. This person probably knows what it’s all about, so listen even though you might not understand much of what he or she says! Financial benefits could be in the wind. You may be entertaining outrageous fantasies of what you’re going to buy with it all. Dream all you want, but be practical when the windfall comes!

Some rather tedious and boring paperwork you have to han-dle for your business might be a pain in the neck now, Cancer, but it should bring a lot of benefits to you later. Therefore, you’ll want to exercise your usual conscientiousness in order to assure that it gets completed. Your diligence and dedication should attract the attention of those in authority, so expect advancement in some way. Onward and upward!

Books, lectures, and other sources of information regard-ing spiritual, metaphysical, or religious matters could have your mind spinning, Leo. What you read or hear is likely to be fasci-nating, but you might be too overwhelmed to make sense of it right now. Don’t feel that you have to get it all together today. Do something else, let it all stew, and tomorrow its meaning could all appear to you in a rush.

Stray dog menace- A

grave problem She Taxi- Offers a Safe Journey for Women

She Taxi, the 24X7 taxi service operated by women for women travellers, will be launched soon at Kochi city, after the suc-cessful implementation of the project in Thi-ruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala.

The service initiated by the Gender Park which func-tions under the Department of Social Justice, Gov-ernment of Kerala has been designed to ensure a safe and reliable mode of transport for women as well as to encourage entrepreneurship and self-employment among women. The ‘24x7 She Taxi Service’ has an advanced safety enabled technology that would make travel-ling much safer and secure. Travellers can book the cab via online or mobile on a 24X7 basis. The trav-eller can dial a specific service number to book the taxi, which will be unique for the entire state. The traveler will receive a Unique Identification Code along with a 24x7 She Taxi service number. This will allow the traveler to verify the cab number be-fore boarding the cab. The cab service will pick the traveler from the designated boarding point and drop at the specified destination. The traveller will have the option to make payment via cash, debit card or credit card. In order to avoid any disputes on the travel fare, an electronic payment system will be introduced. Various other features such as refreshment mini bar and entertainment facilities including music, play stations are also provided in the cabs.The cab, designed and integrated with Global Posi-tioning system(GPS) will enable to monitor and track the activities of the traveller as well as the driver and will facilitate immediate aid in case of any emergency situation. The cabs are also programmed to de-mobi-lize the cab based on the directions from the ‘24x7 Emergency Call Centre’ to ensure a higher degree of pro-active safety element especially during un-foreseen circumstances. Safe Bus, Safe Me, Safe Me Mobile and Safe City Response Ecosystem are the major safety offering technologies used in She Taxi service. The Safe bus technology used to control the speed, sudden break, and sudden turn and to ensure engine safety condition to improve the driving be-havior. Safe Me is a personal emergency alert service to the She Taxi drivers and the passengers inside the cab. Safe Me Mobile is a mobile based emergency alert application for She Taxi drivers outside the car.

A control room had been set up to track and moni-tor the operations of the cab on a constant basis. All alerts will be received and vehicles will be proactively monitored from this control room. The support of public safety officers is also available.She Taxi is a project that enhances women en-trepreneurship, self employment and financial security of women. The Kerala State Women’s Development Corporation, another associate of the project, will give financial support for the entrepreneurs. KSWDC will provide loans for the entrepreneurs at a lower interest rate to pur-chase the vehicle. Gender Park is the owner of She Taxi service and they manage overall monitoring and coordination. Gender Park will identify the beneficiaries, select and extend fund support to them. Gender Park will organize promotional and branding activities of the project, awareness and training programmes to the entrepreneurs.Gender Park is an autonomous institution pro-

moted by the Government of Kerala to resolve gender inequity in development. Gender Park acts as a convergence centre for Women Studies, Research Activities, Entrepreneurship Initiatives, Documentation, Library, Education, Health and Support, Business and Trade, Productive Sectors, etc. It has been created to tackle the problems and issues of women and to ensure better social securi-ty in all aspects of their well-being. At Gender Park, various activities of women are pooled into a com-mon platform irrespective of social, political or eco-nomic divisions.She Taxi Service is expected to solve the travelling problem of women in late hours up to an extent. It will support the women travellers from working cat-egory and the tourists visiting Kerala. The security and living standard of women will project the de-velopment level of a State. Hence She Taxi, a public sector initiative for women empowerment will be the start of a new epoch.

Kashmir valley is confront-ed with many problems including the erratic pow-

er and water supply besides other day to day problems which make the life of common people a hell in this chilly winter. In addition to the big problems there are small-er problems which have made the life risky particularly that of children, women and old people. For example the menace of stray dogs in the city of Srinagar as well as in other towns and villages is assuming the shape of one of the most dangerous problems. The stray dogs have increased many fold, so have increased the num-ber of the people mostly children and women who have been bit-ten by the stray dogs. Some of the children have even been killed in the dog attacks. It is really shock-ing that the hands of authorities have been tied by so called NGOs who are up in arms when any step is initiated by Municipal Cor-porations against huge number of stray dogs. These NGOs have no sympathy for humans whom these dogs make their prey ev-ery day but for the sake of money and name these NGOs do not al-low any action of the concerned authorities which could help to get rid of these stray dogs. There is no doubt that every human or animal has right to live but when one’s life becomes endangered by the presence of other, some steps have to be taken to protect the life of the specie which is victim of the attacks. The Srinagar Municipal Corporation had made arrange-ments to catch stray dogs and put them at dog house arranged for them so that the citizens are pro-tected from them. But the insuf-ficient space and staff has created hindrances in this project also and the result is that every day we are hearing the news of one per-son or the other been attacked by the stray dogs. Recently a small child was dragged out of his house by dogs in absence of his parents and killed, thus ending a precious life. The government has to think about the increasing dog menace and chalk out a strategy which can neutralize the dogs without providing any opportunity to so called NGOs to make hue and cry. If this is not done it will be-come impossible for children, women and old people even to venture out of their houses as the strength of stray dogs has risen to thousands in the city itself, not the question of other towns and villages.

From the moment a baby opens its eyes to this world, its body must adapt to a new life. Every factor to facilitate this adaptation has been put into effect during

and after the pregnancy. The clearest ex-ample of this is the stage of the formation of mother's milk.The formation of the milk is provided by the mother's hormones. The production of milk is connected basically to a hormone called "prolactin" produced by the ante-rior pituitary gland in the brain. During pregnancy, the progesterone and the oes-trogen hormones produced by the placen-ta prevent prolactin from being activated and producing milk. But the placenta is discharged after birth causing the level of progesterone and oestrogen in the blood to fall; after this, prolactin comes into action and contributes to the formation of milk. Because of this communication among the hormones, such a valuable nu-trient as mother's milk is prepared exactly at the moment when the baby needs it. This is indeed a momentous exchange of information. While the placenta is in the body, it performs vital tasks but at the right time it must be ejected. This brings with it a very important development for human life. In the stages of human creation all the things that take place complement one an-other. Certainly, these are clear proofs that every human being has been constructed by a supreme power.And these stages continue after the baby has come into the world. The production of milk by the mother increases according to the baby's need for nourishment. In the first days, up to 50 g. is produced; in the sixth month, the production may be as high as one litre. Those scientists who have tried to find the formula for mother's milk

have been unsuccessful after long investi-gations because there is no standard type of mother's milk. In every mother's body, milk is produced according to the needs of her own baby, and this milk nourishes the baby in a way that no other extrane-ous nourishment can. Research has shown that the antibodies, hormones, vitamins and minerals in mother's milk are deter-mined by the needs of the baby.The use of nutrient material other than mother's milk does not completely meet the needs of the baby. For example, no other nutrient material contains the an-tibodies required for the baby's immune system. Cow's milk is considered to be the classic nutrient material for babies. When we compare it with mother's milk, we can better understand the superiority of the latter. In cow's milk there is a higher amount of casein than in human milk. Ca-sein is a protein found in coagulated (sour) milk. This material breaks down into larg-er pieces in the stomach making digestion difficult. For this reason, cow's milk is harder to digest than mother's milk. The fact that little of this material is found in mother's milk makes the baby's digestion easier.These two kinds of milk are also different with regard to the composition of amino acids. Due to this difference in composi-tion, the total number of amino acids pres-ent in the plasma of a baby fed with cow's milk is greater; the level of some amino acids is too high while the level of others is too low. This has negative effects on the nervous system and, because of the higher protein content, places an extra burden on the kidneys. Another factor that makes mother's milk different is its sugar content. In mother's milk and cow's milk there is the same kind of sugar-lactose. But the amount of lactose in human milk (L / 7g) is different from

that in cow's milk (L / 4.8g). Besides, the large coagulated particles of cow's milk pass much more slowly through the small intestine. For this reason, high amounts of fluid and lactose, which are very import-ant, are absorbed in the first section of the small intestine. Coagulated particles of mother's milk (unlike those of cow's milk) pass through the small intestine easily, and lactose and fluid reach the large intestine. In this way, a healthy intestinal structure develops. The second advantage of the great quantity of lactose found in human milk is that it ensures the synthesis of a material called "cerebroside", which plays an important role in the construction of the essential structures of the nervous sys-tem.Despite the fact that the fat level in moth-er's milk and cow's milk is almost the same, the quality of those fats is different. The linoleic acid in mother's milk is the only fatty acid required in the nourish-ment of the baby.Another factor that distinguishes mother's milk is the amount and proportion of the salt and minerals it contains. For example, in cow's milk the amount of calcium and phosphorus is high; but the ratio of cal-cium to phosphorus in cow's milk makes it difficult to digest properly. Phosphorus can combine with calcium in the digestive tract and actually prevent the absorption of calcium. Therefore, if a baby is given cow's milk in the first days of its life, the way can be opened to certain abnormali-ties due to a drop of the level of calcium in the blood. 1Apart from this, human milk is 50% iron. Because cow's milk contains a much lower proportion of this mineral, babies fed on cow's milk can develop anaemia linked to iron deficiency.Richness in vitamins is another factor that makes mother's milk indispensable for

the baby. From the point of view of the vitamins they contain, mother's milk and cow's milk are quite different. Despite the fact that the level of vitamin A is the same, the level of vitamins E, C and K is higher in mother's milk. The amount of vitamin D in mother's milk is sufficient for the baby's needs.A baby coming into the world from the protected, bacteria-free womb of its moth-er must fight against several bacteria in the external world. One of the most important features of mother's milk is that it protects the baby from infections. The protec-tive cells (antibodies) that pass from the mother's milk to the baby cause the baby to start fighting against bacteria it had never known before, as if it had actually been informed. The antibodies contained in great quantities in the form of mother's milk called "colostrum", which is secreted in the first few days after birth, perform an especially protective function.This protection that mother's milk pro-vides for the baby (protection from slight infections to very serious ones), is vitally important for the first few months, and its benefits increase in proportion to the peri-od of breast feeding.The benefits to the baby of mother's milk become more evident every passing day. One of the things scientists have discov-ered about mother's milk is that it is highly beneficial for a baby up to two years of age. The importance of this recent discovery was revealed to us 14 centuries ago:We have instructed man concerning his parents. Bearing him caused his mother great debility and the period of his wean-ing was two years: "Give thanks to Me and to your parents. I am your final destina-tion." (Qur'an, 31: 14)
