An impactful government scheme

To me this appears like an appreciable scheme.A worthwhile subsidy, since the people are benefiting instantaneously from it. Any corruption here will be behind the doors and will not impact the benefactors. People would still realise that there is a cost to everything and will not look for freebies. If the government can maintain the quality and nutrition, this merits replication across all states.All the best to the TN government to maintain this well. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/amma-unavagam-rs5-lakh-a-day-feeds-15-lakh/article5128261.ece?homepage=true

When saved lives have lesser value than hurt egos

Congratulations Major Leetul Gogoi. I wish i knew you and could shake your hands or maybe have a drink together. You hit them where it hurt the most without firing a single bullet or blow.

Their own forces could have come in numbers and helped with a violent dispersal of the mob using rubber bullets, or pellets or tear-gas or anything else at their disposal to ensure the safety of their fellow policemen.

And so the Army was called in and you and your team had the enviable honour of responding to the situation. Of course the OG had every right to tell the Khakis to sort it out themselves and could have stood back and watched like the Khakis usuall...

This is also the time when we read news of students commiting suicides due to poor performances and news such as " the flying invigilation squad of the PU education department successfully caught 4 students cheating in exams .The students have been debarred for one year,said the chief of the vigilance squad". What a joke. I would like to spare a moment for these students who have been outdone by the alacrity of the successful education department's vigilance squad. There are times when students are alleged to have copied because something was found written on their desk or a scrambled piece of paper was found near their legs etc etc. Some invigilators bask in the reputation that they are known to have a terrific eye to catch students trying to cheat, so watch out if he is coming. It is like telling children stories of Cri...
