Traditional handicrafts on the way of degradation

Kakatpur, September 25, 2006 (VISAKEO): Time and tide affect the grades and generations. Due to the expansion of science and modern technology, human mind is forgetting the past civilization and culture. The day palm leaf made handicrafts were very popular and for some grades, it was the only occupation on which the family was depending, now such handicrafts have been lost from the people’s mind. It is the human tendency to pick up the new and deject the old ones. No one can do with it to motivate to the conventional things and commodities. As a result, the old goods are losing its existence and making handicapped to the poor villagers.

Palm leaves handicrafts, which was useful from the villages to the city, today; this is a matter of dream to see in our houses. People prefers to umbrella, raincoat, and plastics instead of palm leaves made. As compared to the quality and amount, these easy available plastic goods are more suitable to the modern men. Now, people use umbrella for all seasons, polythene for rituals and plastics for grocery item preservation and electricity for air, then why should they go for natural handicrafts, which is costly and less lasting? On the other hand, the palm trees are getting exhausted after the super cyclone in the State. Regarding to the issue, a palm leaf businessman Jnana Sahoo said, the scarcity of the raw material palm leaf as well as the less demand for the handicrafts have led to the degradation of such handicrafts. Reacting over the matter another villager Gopinath Behera views that now the plastics and electricity are easily available at affordable cost, why should one go for the handicrafts?

Of course, the human mentality and choices are changing with the passage of time. No doubt, this palm leaves handicrafts will fail to secure its position and demand in modern market and advance technology.

Have a look on Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram in Orissa

Bhubaneswar, September 26, 2006 (VISAKEO): In spite of government’s developmental pragrammes and policies for the poor tribal people, the voluntary organization RSS has stepped forward to satisfy tribal people’s desire and expectation through establishing a school cum Ashram in the poor State Orissa. Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram is only meant for serving the rural tribal people and to spread free education both moral and professional. It not only serves the people but also creates awareness and initiatives amongst the tribal people.

With the rigorous effort of VHP and RSS, Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram (Tribal Welfare Ashram) survives in the poor State like Orissa. While the improper execution of government policies for the interior tribal people fails in the tribal districts, the Ashram has proved its excellence serving the people in the field of education, health care, economy, sports, art, and culture.

Education is the primary need in the tribal areas to bring them forth in the world of hopes and aspiration. The selfless attempt of RSS has set up Balsankar Kendra, Night schools, Hostels, Primary schools and Libraries for the tribal children in each tribal districts of Orissa.

In the field of medical and healthcare, the Ashram has established dispensaries, provided Ambulances services and health camps to make the tribals conscious of their health cleanliness, safe drinking water and other hygienic conditions in the tribal areas.

Further, for the promotion of the sports and identification of hidden talents, the Ashram has set up the Khelkud Kendras (sports center) whose purpose is to expose the inner talents and curiosity and push them into the National level competition.

In connection with the art and religion, it is stick to keep their cultural identities by promoting Folk dance, Songs and Art, protecting worship place, publishing books in their languages and motivating them for the health, education, good conduct and economic development through Satsang.

Vanavasi Ashram is also committed to the Economic development in the tribal areas. It creates awareness of self-dependence amongst women by opening Tailoring Training Centre for ladies, Incense stick training center, forming self-help groups. Again for the agricultural development, it inspires the poor tribal peasants to have improved cultivations providing hybrid seeds, fertilizers and solving the agricultural problems. Besides these, the Ashram is engaged in relief operation in the draught districts like Kalahandi, Bolangir, Sonepur, Nuapada, and Bargarh; providing medical aid, and rehabilitation to the flood and other natural disastrous tribal regions and participating in the developmental programmes like digging ponds and draught hit area of Kalahandi and Bolangir.

The chief aim of the Ashram is to uphold national integration among them through various cultural programmes to create a feeling of oneness, co-operation and co-existence.

The overall service to the poor tribal people is to educate, inform, entertain, create a feeling of general awareness and self-dependence; develop the backward regions and bring them into the economic standard of living in the cultured society. Needless to say, it is a unique contribution of the voluntary organization to cope up with the government developmental policies in the State.

Meter present, not metering

Bhubaneswar, September 21,2006 (VISAKEO): No doubt, the largest selling automobile auto rickshaw is popular on Indian road. But, the center and the State government are exploiting the common people as well as the auto owners in the name of meter. In other words, the outside company gets profit supplying meters to Orissa, but there is no question for metering in the auto. Like killing the grasshopper, providing food to the myna, in Orissa, the government is in favour of outside company exploiting the citizen both the auto owners and the common individuals.
Meter system in auto is good for everyone as per the law. But the people of Orissa are in a great illusion in the name of meter. The meters fixed in auto are not executed; rather it seems as a fashion to compete with other states. Not a single passenger gives fare according to the kilometer or mileage. The congress government had made law in 1989 by which fixing meter in auto was compulsory on the basis of the circular number 21/ 5.4.89. Unless the auto owners will be deprived of having registration. Further, the absence of meter will pay 5000 rupees of fine and for the renewal of the meter the owner has to pay 200 rupees fine per annum. Of course, the governments decision is welcome to all but that was a big cheating to Orissa people as it has been realized after 17 years. More than 32067 auto rickshaws are running having meter. 11929 and 4381 of them are in twin city of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. At least 10 new autos are coming forward with the meter everyday. Super meter manufacturing company Pune manufactures these meters. For fixing meter, the auto owners pay 3100 rupees to the company. The company had looted more than 8 crore in the name of meter, but neither auto owners nor the passengers are getting benefit by this system. The Govt of India never provides any system of metering and supports to the company. There is no reply from the departmental office for 17 years. Reacting to the matter, the Transport secretary Priyabrata Pattanaik said everything would be done through investigation that why the meter is not executed for the transport communication.

Jasmine- a neglected plant for Government

Berhampur, September 20,2006 (VISAKEO): Although jasmine plantation and its business are regarded as the small-scale industry in the State, the Government has ignored the problem of the farmers through which they under go. Even this flower business is recommended in the international market, the State Government is unaware of its fragrance. The jasmine business is enhancing the economic growth in the State with the transaction of 40 crore per annum.

Jasmine, a shrub with fragrant flowers is by and large found in the sea coast of Ganjam district with the area range of thousand acres of the jungle. It is a profitable business for the residents of the area like Rangeilunda, Chikiti, Chattrapur, Hurudunga, and Berhampur. For the improvement of this business, the center had decided to establish the distillation plant in Berhampur, but everything went into vein. While majority of people are dependent on this business, the State Government is not providing a healthy environment for marketing, hybrid seeds, and bank loans to the poor farmers. Although the jasmine oil is highly demanded in abroad, the State Governmentis in slumber and nothing is going into his nose. The business shows 40 crore of transaction every year to the government and the administration also collects tax from the profitable business. The center has realized the quality of production in Ganjam district and approved for opening up a professional training center in Berhampur. Further, the union cabinet has planned to donate above 50 lakhs to the State but the State Government fails at providing a proper land for the distillation plant. As per the Nature, jasmine plant takes 4 to 5 year to produce flower and the farmers become hopeless and unemployed for 7 months in a year. The 10 rupees cost flower fails to satisfy its farmers demand providing only seasonal employment. The local unit of the district has brought the allegation to the jasmine industry professional helping center expansion officer V.V.Ramarao. The distillation plant will be set up and the farmers will be given more facilities after the discussion with the district collector, Mr. Ramarao said.

Subhass God deserts him

Calcutta,(visakeo): Invoking God doesnt always help a Marxist.Ma Tara may yet come to Subhas Chakrabortys aid but CPM patriarch Jyoti Basu, whom the transport minister recently compared to Lord Krishna, shows no sign of softening towards his protégés latest peccadilloes.It would be better if he worshipped mankind, Basu had said a day after Subhas shocked his party by offering puja at the Tarapeeth Kali temple and chanting jai Tara.But mankind doesnt mean man and today, reminded about Subhass declaration that Basu was his personal god, his embarrassed mentor suggested the minister had lost his marbles.Are you referring to that Krishna thing? Or matha kharap hoyey gechhey (he is out of his mind), Basu said after emerging from the CPMs state committee meeting at Alimuddin Street.Subhas, who has borne Basus recent barbs in silence, again refused to react directly against the man who had time and again protected him from facing the consequences of his many indiscretions.But the maverick minister stayed defiant as ever against the party brass.If I am insane, why are those at the helm of the partys affairs not expelling me? A deranged man should not be allowed in the party, Subhas said.He went on to defend his description of Basu as the Krishna of the Indian communist movement.I did not call him Krishna but drew a parallel between Jyotibabus role and that of Lord Krishna. Victory has always come to the side Basu has supported, he said.Subhas recalled that when the CPI split in 1964, both sides had courted Basu. After he sided with the CPM, the new party grew from strength to strength, wresting from its parent the mantle of the leading Indian communist party.The minister went on to argue that the CPM should celebrate Basus birthday in recognition of his contribution to the partys progress.Although CPM general secretary Prakash Karat recently described Basu as a living legend, the party has been cold to the idea of observing his birthday, an honour it bestows only on the late Muzaffar Ahmed.A party leader had suggested that Subhas might come under fire at the state committee meeting, which concludes tomorrow. However, party state secretariat member Benoy Konar, who presided over todays meeting, said the Tarapeeth controversy was not discussed.Konar didnt bite the expulsion bait thrown by Subhas. He said: The party has become seasoned after sailing through so much rough weather. The party will not crumble at an individuals comments. Our party is not bothered who says what every other day.It may or may not comfort Subhas to know that if he ever parts ways with the CPM, the BJP would be waiting for him with open arms.The day after Subhass temple visit, the state BJP president had invited him to the fold.Now that hes clearly jettisoned Marxism and established his credentials, hes welcome to apply to join the BJP. Well consider his case, Tathagata Roy had said, impressed especially by Subhass claim that people saw him first as a Hindu, then as a Brahmin, and as a communist last of all.

Pension for poojaris

Expressing concern over the living conditions of grama temple poojaris, a resolution passed urged the State to give them Rs.1,000 a month. The families should continue to receive it after the poojaris' death. It sought free power supply to rural temples. The State government should ensure financial assistance for temple festivals and at least one pooja.

The resolution included a `Hindu Agenda' in the form of an appeal to political parties. It sought exemption for temple land from all land reforms legislation, a statutory autonomous board and a State dharmic council for "better" administration of temples.

It sought a ban on conversions and cow slaughter and decried demands for reservation to minorities. It sought an end to discrimination on legal and constitutional lines in favour of minority institutions. It urged the Centre to facilitate reconstruction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya and the State to withdraw all cases against Kanchi Sankaracharya.

Expressing concern at the "declining Hindu population, which was growing at 22 per cent as against the growth of minority population at 35 per cent," it urged the Centre to bring in a uniform civil code by implementing the directive principle under Article 44. A resolution urged the Hindu vote bank to exercise their vote in favour of any party or alliance that pledges to protect their interests in the election manifesto.

VHP rejects `varnashrama', seeks end to untouchability

Kanchi (visakeo): The fifth State Hindu Resurgence Conference organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Grama Koil Poojarigal Peravai has rejected `varnashrama' and sought an end to the practice of untouchability.

Addressing the conference at the CNC College grounds on Sunday, VHP international president Ashok Singhal said untouchability had no sanction in the Vedas and dharma sasthras. Ancient history and mythology had no record on it. Alien aggressions could have led to the practice. He called upon the heads of mutts to give `manthra deeksha' to all without discrimination.

Mr. Singhal said the VHP was outrightly rejecting `varnashrama dharma,' supposedly written in Manusmrithi, in the interest of consolidating Hindu unity to fight conversions and "Jehadi" terror.

His views were echoed by Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati, who said visiting temples and participating in religious activities were not enough to save the religion. The book titled Hindus Under Siege - The Way Out speaks about the alleged clandestine defamation of Hindu icons and symbols, demographic restructuring of Indian society, systematic and continuing distortion of Indias history and terrorist activities targetted against Hindu community.

Vande Mataram fails to motivate others

Bhubaneswar, September 8,2006 (VISAKEO): while Vande Mataram echoing the whole Nation, few people and educational institutes have shown disinterest to the National Song. Right from the Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh and Congress High Command Mrs. Sonia Gandhi to the local units of the State have boycotted to uphold the dignity of Vande Mataram’s birth anniversary yesterday.
Following to the Emperor of India, few schools have been exempted to recite Vande Mataram in a chorus form. Madrasa School in Kakatpur stands first in this regard. It is allegedly said because of early school schedule the students and teacher were left to their homes. Similarly, teacher’s absence on that day led to cancellation of the National Song in Balipatana and Balakati. Further this Song has been disobeyed in most of the Primary schools in Nirakarpur. Even Nimapada Primary School had announced that day as a holiday to avoid the recitation of the Song.
In spite of direction of the Center most of the schools even the Prime Minister and personality like Sonia Gandhi whose in- laws were once upon a time involved in the freedom struggle have disrespected the National Song and did not take part in the recitation yesterday.
But, most of the Muslims were curious about an auspicious occasion and attended and recited the Song at Master Canteen Square in Bhubaneswar at 11 a.m on the day before. Nothing is above the Homeland, said emotionally one of a Muslim. We have sacrificed our blood to bring back freedom in the Country and Vande Mataram is not restricted to one particular religion, this country is ours and this Song is ours too, said Sahabudhin pointing out the protestant of Vande Mataram.
