LOK SABHA ___ SYNOPSIS of DEBATES (Proceedings Other Than LOK SABHA ___ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATES (Proceedings other than Questions & Answers) ______ Wednesday, July 30, 2014 / Shravana 8, 1936 (Saka) ______ REFERENCE BY SPEAKER HON. SPEAKER: Hon. Members, on 25th July, 2014, seven personnel of the Indian Air Force including two officers are reported to have been killed when their helicopter crashed in Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh. I am sure the House joins me in sharing the grief of the family members who died in the crash. I am sure that the House joins me in sharing the grief the family members who died in the crash. The Members then stood in silence for a short while. FELICITATION BY SPEAKER HON. SPEAKER: Hon. Members, I am sure all of you will join me in extending our heartiest felicitations to the Indian Contingent for their remarkable performance at the ongoing 20th Commonwealth Games, Glasgow, Scotland. The Indian Contingent has so far won 35 medals – 10 gold; 15 silver and 10 bronze. The House congratulates Sanjita Khumukchan, Sukhen Dey and Sathish Sivalingam for winning gold medals in the event of weightlifting, Abhinav Bindra, Apurvi Chandela, Jitu Rai and Rahi Sarnobat for winning gold medals in shooting and Amit Kumar, Vinesh Phogat and Sushil Kumar for winning gold medals in wrestling. The House also congratulates the other athletes who have won silver and bronze medals at these games. We convey our best wishes to the Indian Contingent to keep up their commendable performances for the remaining events in the games and bring further laurels to our country. SUBMISSION BY MEMBER Re: Bugging at the residence of a Union Minister. THE MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI RAJ NATH SINGH) responding to the issue raised by an hon. Member said: The hon. Member mentioned about news report published in newspapers that a high power listening device was fitted in the bedroom of one of our Ministers and on that basis the Hon'ble Member has sought clarification from the government in this regard. I want to make it clear that the news report which has appeared is entirely baseless. Therefore, the question of getting investigated this entire case does not arise. The Hon'ble Minister in whose bedroom this high power device has reportedly been implanted has himself refuted this news. Therefore, there is no justification of taking the news item published in the newspapers seriously. MATTERS UNDER RULE 377 (i) Need to amend the SDRF Rules for welfare of farmers in the country particularly in Rajasthan. SHRI BAHADUR SINGH KOLI: The economy of Rajasthan is based on agriculture. As per the rules of State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) agriculture input grant in aid is given only to those farmers whose more than 50 per cent crop is destroyed. I through the House urge upon the Union Government that SDRF rules should be amended so that the farmers who suffered lose of crops less than 50 per cent due to natural calamities should also get compensation. (ii) Need to declare Bhrigudham Bhitora in Fatehpur District, Uttar Pradesh as a tourist place. SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI: Bhrigudham Bhitora in Fatehpur District, Uttar Pradesh is Taposthali of Maharshi Bhrigu. I urge upon the Union Government to declare Bhrigudham Bhitora as a tourist spot. (iii) Need for special scheme to provide basic infrastructural facilities like roads and water in Udalguri District in Assam. SHRI RAMEN DEKA: Udaigiri District is situated in my Parliamentary Constituency Mangaldoi, Assam touches Indo-Bhutan and is a militant infested district. It is one of the most in undeveloped districts of Assam in terms of infrastructure. The pace of Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is also very tardy. I, therefore, urge upon the Central Government to take necessary action to frame special scheme to fulfil the essential needs of road development and supply of potable water to the people of Udalguri District, Assam. (iv) Need for action plan and to constitute separate task force to check of human trafficking of minor boys/girls. SHRI OM BIRLA: The incidents of missing of minor boys and girls and abduction of thereof are increasing constantly in the country. There is a report of missing of two lakhs thirty six thousand fourteen children from the year 2009-11 out of which Seventy five thousand eight hundred eight children are still missing. The attitude of local police in most cases of missing children is not sensible. FIRs are not registered in such cases. Only the report of missing are registered. Therefore, I urge upon the Union Government to formulate a concrete action plan and constitute a separate work force to nab human traffickers by conducting enquiry thoroughly in the incidents of missing minor children. (v) Need for early appointment of doctors and para-medical staff in the AIIMS, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. SHRI GAJENDRASINGH SHEKHAWAT: The Minister of Health and Family Welfare in the Government of Hon'ble Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji sanctioned an AIIMS at Jodhpur but unfortunately even after elapsing of 10 years the work on it has not been completed so far. Due to non appointment of staff and doctors for this AIIMS patients have to face lot of difficulties. I urge upon the Union Government that doctors and para-medical staffs for AIIMS Jodhpur should be appointed early to remove the difficulties of the patients. (vi) Need to re-construct Mankapur-Babhnan road leading to Bhagwan Swami Narayan Temple, Chhapia, in Uttar Pradesh under C.R.F. SHRI KIRTI VARDHAN SINGH: In my Parliamentary Constituency Gonda the road leading to birth place of Bhagwan Swami Narayan Temple, Chhapia connecting Mankapur and Babhnan railway station is in bad condition. Every year thousands of devotees use this road to reach Bhagwan Swami Narayan Temple, Chhapia for darshan. These devotees have to face lot of inconvenience. Therefore, I urge upon the government to issue orders for reconstruction of this road under CRF scheme without further delay. (vii) Need for an early action to re-construct the dilapidated bridge over Urai-Jalaon main road in Madhya Pradesh. SHRI BHANU PRATAP SINGH VERMA: In my Parliamentary Constituency the bridge on main road near near Kukar Gaon between Urai and Jalaon is more than hundred years old has got damaged at many places due to which there is always possibility of any major tragedy. Therefore, I demand from the Union Government to issue orders immediately for repairing of said damaged bridge on Urai-Jalaon main road. (viii) Need for issuance of No Objection Certificate from Neyveli Lignite Corporation regarding transfer of lignite mines which were allotted to them by Gujarat Government. SHRIMATI JAYSHREEBEN PATEL: In July 2006 the Government of Gujarat signed a memorandum of understanding with M/s Neyveli Lignite Corporation for Lignite based 1500 megawatt power project in South Gujarat. Lignite to this power project was to be supplied from the Lignite Mines of the Gujarat Government. Therefore, the Government of Gujarat thought of to run this project through GIPCL, an undertaking of the Gujarat Government instead of running it as a joint venture with NLC. The NLC is supposed to issue an NOC to this effect that it has no objection in transferring the lignite mines allotted to it to the government of Gujarat or any of its undertaking or GIPCL. I, therefore, urge upon the Union Government to take action in this regard immediately and facilitate issuance of necessary NOC from NLC so that they work on this project could be carried headway. (ix) Need to release balance amount of fund under State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) and National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) to the farmers of Tumkur District, Karnataka affected by drought. SHRI S.P. MUDDAHANUME GOWDA: Tumkur district in Karnataka has witnessed drought for the past three years. The drought during 2013-2014 has affected agricultural, horticultural and perennial plantation crops. The State Government has submitted proposal for compensation in the form of input subsidy sought under SDRF and NDRF to the tune of Rs. 9313.83 lakh. But only 21% of the demand made by the concerned Departments was released till now. I urge upon the Union Government to release the balance 79% of compensation by the concerned Department immediately for the benefit of the farmers of Tumkur district, Karnataka immediately. (x) Need to promote off-grid solar power technology for providing electricity in rural parts of the country. DR. SHASHI THAROOR: The lack of connection of at least 75 million rural households in our country to the electricity grid is a matter of grave concern. With the abundant availability of sunlight in most parts of India, the rapid development and implementation of off-grid solar power technologies would accelerate the electrification of our villages. I, therefore, urge the Government to promote off-grid solar power in rural areas and provide incentives for innovation. (xi) Need to provide interest free loans to the eligible students during the moratorium period. SHRI S.R. VIJAYA KUMAR: The eligible students availing education loan from banks do not get the full subsidy under Central Scheme to provide Interest Subsidy (CSIS). As per this Scheme implemented by Ministry of HRD, any economically weaker section student availing education loan from the banks under IBA Scheme to pursue professional and technical courses is eligible for full interest subsidy during the moratorium period. A lot of complaints have been received that many banks do not provide full interest subsidy to the students. The poor students are forced by the banks to pay the interest, which otherwise should have been reimbursed by the Government. Since Interest subsidy scheme confusion among the banks and students, instead of providing full interest subsidy, the Government can consider to grant Interest free loans to the eligible students during the moratorium period.
