Chandigarh, April 30
Mrs Asha Hooda, wife of the Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, today urged the people not to call physically disabled persons as handicap, since nobody could claim himself to be complete. Even if one might physically appear complete,
he might be lacking in thinking.
Mrs Hooda was speaking in a function organized by Spastic Society at Old Age Home, Sector-4, Gurgaon.
By embracing and presenting flowers to the physically handicapped and mentally challenged children, Mrs Hooda made them feel that she had sympathy with them in real terms. Expressing her gratitude to the people who donate money to the Spastic Society for the welfare of needy children, she said that no programme or policy of the Government could be successful without the cooperation of people.
During inspecting the office of the society, she asked a question to the officials whether they came to perform duty or to do service. She was of the opinion that if one came to perform one’s duty, he cannot do service to the people and only he who has missionary spirit, could help the needy. Insensitive person could do no service to the society.

SPSTI to celebrate Earth Day

Custom Search

by Haryananews (Balbir)
CHANDIGARH, APRIL 21
The Society for Promotion of Science and Technology in India (SPSTI) will celebrate the Earth Day on April 22 by invoking the so called “Prithvi Sukta”or the Earth Hymn of Atharva Veda, which may be said to be the first universal anthem in the history of mankind.
This ‘sukta’ contains 63 mantras (12.1.1. to 12.1.63), which glorifies Mother Earth. Vedic sages regarded Earth as sacred and inviolable. One of the mantras proclaims earth as mother of all creatures and solicits its blessings.
According to SPSTI president former Haryana Chief Secretary Dharam Vir, IAS (Retd), the main objective of Earth Day is to create awareness and appreciation about the earth’s environment amongst the people.
The SPSTI notes that mismanagement of earth resources is leading to several environment related problems which, if not controlled in a time bound manner, may cause irreparable damage leading to disastrous consequences. It may even become a serious threat to the existence of mankind in certain parts of earth. The ongoing volcanic eruption in Iceland and the tsunamis which caused so much disaster several years ago are sad reminders of the holocaust that earth can face.
The SPSTI is of the view that there has to be people’s movement to earth from environment disaster. Several simple actions could lead to substantial improvement in environment and usage of earth resources. It proposes to bring out a simple guide book for common man, especially school and college students, for this purpose.
Earth is the most beautiful and only place known, where life exists in various forms. It is unique in diversity as well as extent.
Child invariably expects his mother to remain generous to him. This would be so if we in return do our utmost to keep her in good health and spirits. Our scriptures describe her thus:
Samudra vasne ! devi ! parvat-stan-mandley;
Vishnu-patni ! namas tubhyam: paad-sparsh kshmasv main.
“Oh, mother earth, who is adorned by the oceans, whose bosom is the mountain ranges, who is the wife of Vishnu, I bow to thee. Please pardon me if I touch you with my feet”.

CHANDIGARH, APRIL 11
Dr. M S Malik, IPS (Retd) former DGP Haryana, President Jat Sabha Chandigarh and also former President Wrestling Federation of India and President, Haryana Wrestling and Hockey Association’s, has questioned the criteria adopted by Haryana Subordinate Services Selection Commission for selection of Physical Training Instructors (PTIs). He said keeping 60 marks for academics and 30 marks for viva-voce is totally illogical and unexplainable.
Dr Malik was surpprised that physical test has neither been kept nor conducted for the eligible applicants/ selected candidates who are supposed to be physically robust/fit to train the budding youths/students studying in different schools in the State for next 20 to 30 years.
Dr Malik said “It is also a matter of facts and records that applicants for these posts and selected finally must have passed the basic PTI training course at least 5-10 years back.”
Dr. Malik has described this selection of more than 1000 PTIs as totally eyewash to serve the political interests which will prove to be very prejudicial to the maintenance of the physical health of budding youths and will rather defeat the very purpose for which the recruitment has been made.
Dr Malik has called upon the State Government. as well as the concerned authorities to change the selection criteria as per the job requirement that is off full proof physical fitness required for PTIs.
