    [22 December, 2004] RAJYA SABHA the House Reassembled at Twenty

    [22 December, 2004] RAJYA SABHA The House reassembled at twenty-three minutes past two of the clock, THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN in the Chair. THE APPROPRIATION (NO. 4) BILL, 2004 THE MINISTER OF FINANCE (SHRI P. CHIDAMBARAM): Sir, I beg to move: "That the Bill to authorise payment and appropriation of certain further sums from and out of the Consolidated Fund of India for the services of the financial year, 2004-05, as passed by the Lok Sabha, be taken into consideration". Sir, the Bill arises after the supplementary appropriations charged in the consolidated Fund of India and demands voted by the Lok Sabha. It is proposed to augment the sanctioned provision by Rs. 38,621.77 crore. Of course, I may straightway point out that the cash outgo is much smaller; the cash outgo is only about Rs. 5,000 crore. However, to the extent of Rs. 33,058.23 crore, the augmented provision is matched by savings of the concerned departments by enhanced receipts. In addition, token provision of Rs. 48 lakh is being sought, Rs. one lakh for each of 48 items of expenditure, enabling re-appropriation of savings in cases involving new service or new instrument of service. Hence, the net cash outgo involved in the proposal is only Rs. 5063 crores. Sir, I move that the Bill be considered. The question was proposed.

  • ''Freedom Struggle Has to Go On...''

    ''Freedom Struggle Has to Go On...''

    POINT OF VIEW ‘‘Freedom Struggle Has to Go On...’’ [Nirmala Deshpande is a name, which does not require any introduction. A widely acclaimed social activist Nirmala is one of the flagbearers of non-violence in the country. Born in 1929, she joined Acharya Vinoba Bhave’s Bhoodan Padyatra in 1952, and covered more than 40 thousand miles touching all nooks and corners of India. She has been the president of Harijan Sevak Sangh, founded by Mahatma Gandhi. In 2005 Nirmala was nominated for Nobel Peace Prize and in 2006 she was awarded with Rajiv Gandhi National Sadbhavana Award. She has been working in troubled areas of Kashmir valley for peace since long. Currently she is a member of Rajya Sabha. Nirmala Deshdande talked to Santosh H K Narayan of Headlinesindia on various issues ranging from politics to Naxalite movement in India. Excerpts :] Q: How much relevant is the ‘Gandhian Value’ in the present scenario? NIRMALA DESHPANDE: We know that UN (United Nations) has declared the Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday — October 2 as an International Day for Non- violence. It reveals that not only India but the whole world recognises Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy. His actions and programmes are becoming more and more relevant for the contemporary world. Q: But it is seen that in India, we are neglecting him in each and every aspect. NIRMALA DESHPANDE: I think, it is the perception of those who are metro centric (Urbanites). Go to rural areas and countryside, you would come across a general change in perception. I have been to almost all places in India and discovered that Gandhi is becoming more and more relevant.
