Lucknow (PNS): Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar was on a one-day visit to Lucknow on Saturday. He visited the Lucknow Cantonment Board office and Cantonment Board Hospital, and lauded the officials concerned for all the facilities in place. He reviewed a presentation on Lucknow Cantonment and other Cantonments under DEO, Lucknow, by Vikas Kumar. Appreciated the smooth operations of Lucknow Cantonment and arrangements made for the welfare of res- idents, Kumar laid emphasis on the use of technology to ensure ease of living and ease of doing business in Cantonment areas. He also interacted with public rep- resentatives of Lucknow Cantonment. He said it is the priority of the gov- ernment to work for the ease of living of people. He mentioned the stellar role of e-chhawani app in facilitating this. Earlier, Kumar inaugurated a new block of the Mangla Devi Junior High School. He highlighted the initiatives taken by the government for 62 Cantonment areas across the country, including doing away with the permission for minor repairs and decreasing the number of documents required for starting a business. + ,,- ,.,/ & - 0 9' * :) FA 7 8 New Delhi (PNS): # # & Condoling the demise of senior he defining moment in 020270 BJP leader Kalyan Singh, Union TKalyan Singh’s life was the minister Rajnath Singh on fall of Babri Masjid on tance of the role of this crucial functionary.

consuming millets reduced BMI by 7% in people who were overweight and obese All results are based on consumption of 50 to 200 g of millets per day for a duration ranging from 21 days to three months. These findings are influ- enced by comparisons that show that millets are much higher in unsaturated fatty acids, with 2 to 10 times high- er levels than refined wheat and milled rice as well as being much higher than whole grain wheat. “This latest review further emphasises the potential of mil- lets as a staple crop that has many health benefits.

HisS is a name that is held in high regard in liberal circles — a collection which can broadly be identified by its thirst for knowledge, emphasis on rationality, opposition to fundamentalism, and a desire to stand with the subaltern. Guha is, in today’s India, one of the most eru- dite scholars and among the wisest columnists. He is an intellectual icon in the eyes of those who are concerned for democracy and, contrarily, a controversial figure for those who hold a divergent view to his idea of India.
