ailways Minister Piyush RGoyal laid the foundation stone for new coaching termi- nal at Nemom and unveiled WAP-7HS passenger locomo- tive through video conferenc- ing on Thursday. Speaking on the occasion, Goyal said that the present Government has consistently focused on development for all areas in the country. “This new coaching terminal at Nemom in the Thiruvananthapuram Division will help in decon- gesting the already overloaded current coaching terminals,” he said. With the commencement of work at this new coaching terminal, Indian Railways can start providing large number of new trains which will either originate or ter- minate in Thiruvananthapuram, he said. He further informed that there is no ‘Unmanned Level Crossings’ in the entire state of Kerala and all the stations have been converted into 100 per cent LED lighting. Indian Railways is com- mitted to faster development of Kerala and committed to make Kerala a better tourism destination which will help transform the local economy and give a big boost to the generation of the employ- ment and improve customer amenities and facilities for all the people using trains in Kerala, he added.

he tourism sites of Madhya Pradesh have not only become the most Tloved destination among the tourists but are also emerging as the hot favourite hub among the film producers. An ideal atmosphere for film production and facilities in the state as well as wide scale publicity of the important heritages and destinations are attracting film pro- ducers towards Madhya Pradesh.

GENDER PERCEPTIONS THE CULINARY While most might not voice it, but barriers for women chefs are many. These include gender perceptions about their skills, capa- bilities and conforming to the work-life bal- ance. To face them, they have to be resilient while at the same time keep learning and continue to prove their competence at all CHRONICLES times and at all levels. There are also very few instances of women chefs being given the chance to acquire management and lead- ership skills.
