Jamshedpur, Jan. 13: A green hub is all set to enliven the otherwise drab surroundings of Adityapur.
No relief from rough ride
Ranchi, Jan. 11: Besides the fate of techies, the future of the proposed four-laning project of National Highway 33, too, seems to be hanging in the balance.
Jamshedpur, Jan. 8: The state government is working extra hard to implement the mid-day meal scheme in all the schools of East Singhbhum district but minority-run institutions have requested to spare them from the scheme.
If such is the situation, the mid-day meal scheme would not be implemented in government high schools (Classes VI to VIII) of the district.
All for golden harvest
Jamshedpur, Jan. 7: Farmers are getting smart. They are making organic fertilisers to reap more profits.
Farmers belonging to self-help groups registered under Subernarekha Mahila Mandal Kheti Bari Utpadak Samuh, a co-operative society, will now be adopting vermi compost fertilisers to increase the productivity in the villages of East Singhbhum.
ANTARA BOSE
Jamshedpur, Jan. 6: Gone are the days when the primitive tribes of Musabani block in East Singhbhum used to depend on hunting to earn their livelihood. Now, the Sabars, a backward tribe residing at Joblakocha in the block, are slowly embracing a civilised life.
If things work according to plan, villages in Jharkhand will soon generate electricity for their own consumption. Dhanbad-based Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research has shown them the way.
Bharat Jan Andolan founder and former commissioner of the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Commission, Brahmadeo Sharma, justified the agitation at Kathikund in Dumka.
He said it was wrong on the part of the state government to allow capitalists to start their projects in the rural areas without taking the gram sabha into confidence.
