Different countries have reacted in different ways, I invited articles from researchers across the world. Almost everyone responded with excellent analytical reports on the current status in their respective countries; staff of the ICAC, Bremen Cotton Exchange and FAO have offered their global perspectives. The articles provide a comprehensive coverage on the global impact of COVID-19 on the cotton sector. We are chronicling our times. We are recording history. We are documenting our experiences today so some day, we will be able to recollect in posterity how we survived the pandemic — some bruised, some badly hurt and none unscathed. -Keshav R Kranthi The ICAC RECORDER (ISSN 1022-6303) is published four times a year by the Secretariat of the International Cotton Advisory Committee, 1629 K Street, NW, Suite 702, Washington, DC 20006-1636, USA.

  • Indian Railways Budget Speech 1996-97 (Final) 604 Speech of Shri
    Indian Railways Budget Speech 1996-97 (Final) Speech of Shri Ram Vilas Paswan Introducing the Railway Budget, for 1996-97, 16th July, 1996 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for 1996-97 for the Indian Railways. 2. On 27th February, 1996, the previous Government had presented an interim budget. At that time, approval for 'Vote-on-Account' for the first four months of this financial year for railways' expenditure was obtained. 3. Mr. Speaker, this is the first Railway Budget of the United Front Government. On the one hand, I praise the vastness of the railways, its contribution to the nation's progress alongwith the efficiency of railway employees; on the other hand I would like to present before the august House the challenges and difficulties which the railways face. 4. The United Front Government assumed office on 1st June, 1996. As a result, I had very less time to present the Railway Budget. During this short period, I tried to talk to more and more Hon'ble members and visit various States to know their problems. But despite my best efforts, I could not discuss the problems with all the Hon'ble members. However, I have tried to understand and solve their problems. I assure the Hon'ble members that these efforts would continue and those important projects which could not be taken up due to technical difficulties and want of time, I would definitely consider them in the Supplementary Demands for Grants in the next session. 5. On 16th April, 1853, a railway train reached Thane from Bombay after negotiating a small distance.

  • 25 Years of Struggle and Reconstruction in Narmada Valley October 22Nd – 23Rd, 2010 Dhadgaon (Mah) and Badwani (M.P.)
    AN INVITATION TO RALLY IN THE VALLEY 25 years of Struggle and Reconstruction in Narmada Valley October 22nd – 23rd, 2010 Dhadgaon (Mah) and Badwani (M.P.) NARMADA has been a witness to the 25 years long struggle by the communities reared in its laps over generations in the three states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Supported by a large number of individuals and groups across the country, their non- violent and perseverant struggle together grew into Narmada Bachao Andolan. Adivasis in the mountain ranges of Satpuda and Vindhyas, farmers, labourers, fish-workers and potters in the plains of Nimad have stayed put and challenged Sardar Sarovar (SSP), other large dams and massive canals, destroying prime agricultural land, large tracks of forests, rich horticulture and hilly as well as densely populated habitats. The saga that began in 1985 has completed 25 years of the battle which tried to question, not only large dams but lop-sided development, displacement and disparity growing with the presently imposed growth-centric paradigm of development. Our sangharsh (struggle) through questioning displacement, assertion of land and forest rights, right to fisheries, right to food and health, livelihood security, exposure of corruption and navnirman (reconstruction) through the Jeevanshalas (life schools), micro- hydel projects, and solar projects, with the help of our support groups has continued and progressed through various phases and strategies. Over these years, we have driven away the World Bank and many other international financiers from the valley by 1993, with the help of our global supporters and compelled the governments to rehabilitate thousands of adivasis with land, yet the task is far from complete and the struggle must continue.

SHRI NAND KISHORE YADAV : Hon’ble Railway Minister felt very proud while presenting the Railway Budget, 2008-09. He said that the railways are earning a profit of crores of rupees every year. It is merely the jugglery of statistics as railway projects of about Rs.47000 crores are pending today. The railway system is the same old system. Signals, coaches are also old, facilities are similar, so how the development of railways is taking place. In recent years a number of announcements have been made. But they have not been reviewed. These announcements have not been implemented till today. In this way hon’ble Railway Minister have cheated the public so far. Today, whatever he has said in the Budget, I do not think he will be able to implement them in the coming years. During the Budget he said that we have not raised the fare. But as far as I know, the Department of Railways have increased the fare by fifty per cent during these four years. ___________________________________________________ *This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 169 Also, most of the trains are running late by twelve, sixteen hours. They have changed the category of trains. For this, public have to pay ten-twenty rupees extra. They said that more passengers will be traveling in old coaches. As a result facilities will be less.

  • Names of Trains
    NAMES OF TRAINS Agniveena Express 2341/ 2342 Howrah – Asansol (ER Howrah division) In Bangla it means “The Fiery Lute”. This is the name given to the collection of poems by the celebrated Bengali poet, musician, revolutionary and philosopher, Kazi Nazrul Islam. He was born in Burdwan district in 1899 and died in Dhaka in 1976. He is the national poet of Bangladesh, and also honoured in India. Ahilyanagari Express 6325/ 6326 Indore – Thiruvananthapuram Central (SR Thiruvananthapuram division) Rajmata Ahilyadevi Holkar (1725-1795, ruled 1767-1795) also known as the Philosopher Queen was a Holkar dynasty Queen of the Malwa kingdom. She took over reigns of the kingdom after the death of her husband and father-in-law. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River. She also built temples and Dharamshalas (free lodging)at sacred sites outside her kingdom, at prominent religious places like Dwarka, Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi, Ujjain, Nasik, Parli Vaijnath and Somnath. The city of Indore is sometimes called Ahilyanagari in her memory.

Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term meaning “to do no harm” (literally, the avoidance of violence or himsa). Ahimsa was one of the main principles which Gandhiji followed in his life. Pune was the place where Gandhiji was imprisoned and where his wife passed away, and Ahmadabad was where he set up his Ashram.

Pravahati is more evocative than its English translation 'flowing'. Pravahati evokes images of - abundance, richness in diversity, dancing gaily as it flows, giving khulle dil se, bringing bounty and happiness wherever it goes, eager to reach out and share and belief that by sharing we actually grow. Eklavya ºÉ®Ò is that sharing from Eklavya School. Before setting up Eklavya, we visited about 150 schools and colleges in seven countries, all with a basic question - what is a school; and then about 300 other small-small questions like what is the height of students in different classes ( so we can design staircases, urinals, shelf-heights ). We met the Director/ Principal, we brainstormed with the teachers, attended classes, slept in the hostels sometimes, etc.
