Welcome to the amazing world of high-tech agricultural plastics..............5

A pathetic sight not so rare,heaps of garbage everywhere.Food, plastics, paper and glassware,are people’s worst nightmare.

Everyday the garbage man is greeted, to collect our waste which is never segregated.Waste is collected,to fill up the existing dump yards and ragged.

With the sight of fresh supply of food and alloy, the dogs and rag pickers jump with joy.

This is how they spend their life and enjoy,keeping their spirits on high buoy.

Increasing level of garbage has become mankind’s most dangerous strife,which is all ready to doom us with its garbage shaped knife.Solution to this garbage problem is well known and rife,3R’s is the way to a sustainable life.

Young, Old and everyone please stop being idle,it is time to utilize concept of reduce, reuse and recycle.Reduce – Do not buy things just because you want to show off,Reuse – No one is ever going to laugh at you for using your own stuffs again and gain, Recycle – Make sure the materials which you use will complete the natural cycle.

Garbage ho ho!

lsoor: Ulsoor Lake, once a joggers' paradise, now is considered only so so. UEvery time it rains, the

garbage and drain water get mixed

up and flow into the lake, thereby p o l l u t i n g i t . Besides, sewage has flown into the lake from a nearby storm-water d r a i n . Even boating has taken a backseat when the lake was in a bad state. However, environmentalists and lake development authorities are working towards beautifying and maintaining the Ulsoor Lake and others around the city.It is mandatory for the Army to train its men in a water source for Wet Bridging exercise. For many decades, the Ulsoor Lake has been the lifeline for the Sappers, who

also undertake training in water sports activities like rowing, sailing and kayaking, canoeing. Men are also trained in combat engineering operations for lagoon patrolling in t h e l a k e .Of late, to reduce pollution levels in Ulsoor Lake, Bale Com Tech and Bio-technology and Global Academy of Technology sprayed Maple em.1, an organic effective micro-organisms solvent.

The defence personnel also helped in spraying the solvent on the lake. It is expected that the solvent will facilitate the cleaning up of the lake gradually. The EM technology using Maple em.1 was tested in other parts of our country and the results have been found to be encouraging.

W h a t i s E M ? E f f e c t i v e M i c r o o rg a n i s m " E M " w a s developed as a soil improvement agent for agriculture. And the effect which shows up in many fields has made clear not only agriculture but stock raising, fishery, environment, etc. by subsequent research.They a r e n a t u r a l l y o c c u r r i n g , nonpathogenic, and food-grade microorganisms comprised mainly of lactic acid bacteria, yeast and photosynthetic bacteria, including a e r o b i c a n d a n a e r o b i c

microorganisms. The possibilities and benefits in using EM are numerable and include the following: For use in the home in daily life for everyone, the recycling of kitchen waste and turning it into valuable organic material; in the garden to improve soil structure, increase productivity and to suppress both disease and weeds, for solving all kinds of environmental problems such as water, air, and soil pollution; in agriculture and horticulture, fruit and flower cultivation; in animal husbandry and for all kinds of pets; in fisheries, aquariums and swimming pools; in personal bodily hygiene and for the prevention and treatment of health problems.

Effective Microorganisms, or EM is one of the most popular microbial technologies being used worldwide now and EM products have been on the market since 1983 in Japan. EM comes in a liquid form and consists of naturally-occurring beneficial microorganisms. EM is not harmful, pathogenic, genetically-engineered/modified (GMO), nor chemically-synthesized. Neither is EM a drug or fertilizer. So Ulsoor Lake is likely to be less polluted in the coming weeks without any

angalore: There had been several attempts to make Bout city clean and garbage

free but so far none of them proved effective. This time the civic authorities in Bangalore and the Indian Tobacco Co (ITC) launched a pilot project to make the city a zero garbage city.The project, being implemented in 10 of Bangalore's 198 wards, involves encouraging people to segregate at source wet and dry waste and engaging rag-pickers to segregate waste if not done at source. The ITC has joined hands with the BBMP as part of its "wealth out of waste" prorgamme, which the company says it has initiated to create sustainable livelihood for rag-pickers and civic workers. Launching the project at Basavanagudi in south Bangalore, Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy urged Bangaloreans to segregate waste at source as that was the best way to solve the p r o b l e m .He noted that the city, which has a population of nearly 10 million, daily generates about 5,000 tonnes of waste and only with the cooperation of the people the disposal problem can be tackled. Reddy, who is also minister in-charge of Bangalore, said the zero garbage project would be extended to another 20 wards soon and gradually to the entire city.

Will the city be clean this time?

The recent tragedy because of heavy rain and flash floods in Uttarakhand has resulted in heavy loss of life, property and damage. Many areas were affected because of this natural calamity. What is reason for such a heavy loss of property and life? Can we consider it as a manmade disaster?

Has the technology failed to identify the exact timing of any natural calamity. The television channels beamed horrific visuals of the calamity. The debate on whether the industrialisation of the hill state had contributed to the disaster turned into a face-off between environmentalists and the chief minister Vijay Bahuguna,

What lessons can teach non-learners?who claimed the tragedy was a natural calamity.Many voice their opinion that Uttarakhand should not have taken the path of industrialisation for development and should have been developed as the best destination for sustainable tourism in the world. The whole world is now in a race of economical progress. Everyone wants development which brings more money no matter what the consequences are. The race becomes too competitive and furious. In the course, very few are looking for 'long term sustainable progress'. It is not logical or even practical to follow single model of growth for the entire country. India

is a diverse - geographically, socially and economically - country so we need to have some model w h i c h t a k e s i n t o a c c o u n t e v e r y t h i n g b e s i d e s o n l y considering middle class, skilled workers or educated class. There a r e m a n y i n t e l l i g e n t a n d experienced people who can come up with new models.

The tragedy could have been averted had the government been serious about disaster management in the ecological ly fragile Himalayan region. According to a report, the government is yet to convene a meeting of disaster management committee formed in 2007. The government did not learn

any lessons from tragedies like the Ut ta rkash i ear thquake and rudraprayag landslides. Is there really real motivation to learn from the past or the attitude simply lies with not intending to learn any lesson.

It is important to have proper planning and implementation of good and practical ideas. This is the only way to avoid man made disasters and also deal with natural calamities in a much better way. We cannot control nature's behaviour but we can definitely control our actions and make sure that we don't make situation more complicated and worse.

Bangalore: More and more aspiring students from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are taking admissions to study MBBS in China. Many toppers in Bangalore schools are also included in the above list. Applicants say, they want to avoid the stress of the Entrance exams or paying huge donations at the local medical colleges in their country.

A 16-year-old boy, topper in his class in a local school in Bangalore admits that “in a class like mine, most of the students will end up in studying the medical degree course in China”, since they are unable to pay huge donations to the medical colleges in India.

In India one has to pay too much donations to the colleges and also pay attention for the entrance exams. An increasing number of Indian students have started to consider

studies. If the quality of education is reasonably good compared to the ones in India, why not consider studying in China?

an alternative to the huge amount of donations and even the entrance exam tensions: going to study MBBS in China.

In 2012, the China MMBS Educational Institution said 3460 Indian students went to study MBBS in China, which is an increase of 20 percent from 2011. The number of students from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in China for studying medical education has greatly increased in 2012, according to the CMEI report, which was presented by the CMEI Management Team to the Board of Directors in the official meet in the month of May 2013. Chinese Medical Universities are welcoming Indian students with open arms.

The Medical Council of India has approved 52 Chinese Medical Universities, this year, where a total number of 5690 seats have been allotted to the

Bangalore: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hosted a breakfast to All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Digvijay Singh on his maiden visit to the city after being appointed as incharge of the State party affairs.

Mr Singh chaired the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) General Body meeting and cautioned Congress ruled States about BJP which, he a l leged, would indulge in communal activities prior to election to the Lok Sabha.

Stressing that the party, which came to power after a gap of 8 years should concentrate on

development and deliver goods to the people by implementing the election promises he had stated that AICC will appoint Coordination Committee so that there will be understanding between the government and the party.

Mr Singh also held a meeting with Chief Minister and his Cabinet Ministers and advised Mr Siddaramaiah to have a Coordination Cell set up in his office and not to neglect the interests of the workers as because of their efforts the party came to power in the State

Karnataka, AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh on Tuesday cautioned the leaders of the ruling party to be against the “communal” politics of the BJP.

“The BJP has realised that they won't win unless they play communal card communal and they want to secure victory by inciting communal passions,” said Singh in his statement. “The government will have to keep strict vigil on Hindutva organisations,” he added during his address to the KPCC general body at the Palace Grounds.

Taking serious exception to AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh's remark the BJP said it would file a complaint with the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police against Mr. Singh. BJP state party general secretary C.T. Ravi said such remarks only raises doubts on whether Mr. Singh had come to Bangalore with a “conspiracy” to destabilise communal harmony in the State.

Today's digital consumers are complicated and sometimes skeptical about how institutions use their data, according to a global independent survey of consumers a round the wor ld commissioned by Infosys.

Americans, Europeans and Australians feel comfortable sharing data with doctors (90 percent), banks (76 percent) and retailers (70 percent); however, the research shows contrasting nuances. Consumers won't readily share personal medical history with doctors. They say they want targeted ads yet are wary of sharing the information to enable this. The study shows consumers understand the benefits of sharing data but remain cautious of data mining (especially in Europe): 39 percent globally describe data mining as invasive while also

Consumers in the United States are less concerned about the invasive issue (30 percent) than in the other countries surveyed, while German consumers are less willing to share personal data than in other countries.

The global research polled 5,000 digitally savvy consumers in five countries about how they trade personal data in the retail, banking, and healthcare sectors. The study shows the key challenge facing business is to navigate the complex behaviors consumers display when sharing their personal data.

Heart disease is no longer restricted to the middle-aged and the old. Long working hours at the desk, little physical exercise and unhealthy eating habits are also t ak ing a t o l l on work ing professionals in their late twenties and early thirties, experts say.According to the India Today-Saffolalife Study conducted on 46,000 urban Indians, 78 percent of those aged between 30 and 34 run the risk of a heart attack, Kanchan Naikawadi, Director, Indus Health Plus (P) Ltd. said. In last few months, 30-year-old TV actor Abir Goswami and 20-plus Kannada actor Hemanth died of a heart a t t a c k .There is no specific profession that leads to a higher number of heart diseases, but professionals who tend to sit for most of the time are more likely to suffer from such diseases, informs Naikawadi."Those from the IT and BPO sector fall under this category. With most of the work happening from desk and minimal physical activity being involved, the chances of risk in such professions are higher," N a i k a w a d i t o l d I A N S .Ravindra L. Kulkarni, cardiologist and co-founder of Just For Hearts, too felt that although every profession contributes to stress, employees of IT companies are more stressed out owing to long working hours, graveyard shifts and unhealthy eating habits.There are other unhealthy lifestyle practices that cause early heart attacks. "I have observed that

smoking is the biggest risk factor for heart attacks among youngsters. No physical exercise and alcohol intake further increase the risk. High cholesterol levels, diabetes and hypertension are also some of the factors," Amar Singhal, head of depa r tmen t , i n t e rven t iona l cardiologist, Sri Balaji Action M e d i c a l I n s t i t u t e s a y s .Heart disease, which was earlier associated with older men, is also becoming common among women.Kulkarni said that till women reach menopause, they are protected against it. But, it has been found t h a t a c r o s s t h e g l o b e , approximately 8.6 million women die every year due to heart attacks. He attributed it to changes in lifestyle. To prevent a heart attack, certain physical signs should not be ignored. If you are suddenly running out of breath and there is no one around you to lend a helping hand, panic. Try to calm down. Sit wherever you are and take deep breaths, said Naikawadi and gave more tips to avoid a larger problem."If you are wearing any tight clothes, loosen them. Get your hands on an asprin tablet and make sure that you chew it well. Tt will w o r k f a s t e r , " s h e s a i d ."Make sure that you are not surrounded by a crowd that adds to the feeling of being restless. Drink something refreshing and if you are outside, look for a place with shade. If you feel it could be a heart attack, call for emergency medical help," N a i k a w a d i a d d e d .Naikawadi informed that according

to a WHO report, four people die of heart attack every minute in India and the age group is mainly b e t w e e n 3 0 - 5 0 .A sudden heart attack is not uncommon, so it is advisable to check your family history and consult doctors. Under the scenario, regular checkups are must f o r e v e r y o n e ."However, the only way to find out about any such condition is to go for regular preventive health checkups starting early in life, especially individuals with a family history and high risk factors like obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes," Naikawadi advised.A heart attack happens when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the

heart gets blocked. In such cases angioplasty, which costs around Rs.2 lakh, could be the ideal r e m e d y ."Emergency angiogram is done and the blockage causing the heart attack is diagnosed. The blockage is removed and a stent is placed across the area," explained Karthik Va s u d e v a n , I n t e r v e n t i o n a l cardiologist at Bangalore 's Columbia Asia Referral Hospital.To keep your heart strong after an attack, Singhal suggested strictly following a healthy diet and, regularly exercising without exerting and regular checkups. Last but not least, do not ignore any chest pain.

hitefield: The first thing that comes to many Wpeople's minds when

they hear about plastic is to call for banning it. Do you know how plastic is changing the way agriculture is practiced, by improving yield, saving water and reducing pesticides? Welcome to the amazing world of high-tech agricultural plastics.

Rajeeb Kumar Roy is a B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering from Mahatma Phule Agricultural University, and an M.Tech in Agricultural Engineering (with specialisation in post-harvest technology) from from IIT Kharagpur. He is known as the father of Indian plasticulture (use of plastics in agriculture). He has introduced more than a dozen i n n o v a t i v e I s r a e l i a g r o technologies to Indian agriculture, and has 19 years of international experience in the field.

He is regularly invited to train

scientists on high-tech farming t e c h n o l o g i e s b y m a n y governmental institutions such as ICAR, IARI, universities and IIT Kharagpur. Most recent was the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs early this year. He trains more than 2,000 farmers per year free of charge to upgrade their technology and improve their life.

He is the managing director or Agriplast Tech India Pvt Ltd. a company started by him from a car garage and borrowed money. Presently it is one of the most respected companies in the field of high-tech agriculture.

Rajeeb is also a keen trekker, and has done more than half a dozen treks in the Himalayas, the latest being the 156km Adi Kailash trek in Uttrakhand. He is also the president of the Rotary Bangalore IT Corridor for 2013-2014. He has been invited by Jagriti theatre recently for 'Close Encounter', a free and open to all program.

angalore: Red tapism is pushing India's one lakh Bc r o r e r u p e e w o r t h

pharmaceutical industry in peril with most of the pharma companies shifting research and development (R&D) operations and clinical trials to South-East Asian countries of Cambodia, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and others, according to a just concluded survey by apex industry body ASSOCHAM.

Various South-East Asian countries are wooing India's R&D industry by offering sops and transparent r e g u l a t i o n s a s r e g u l a t o r y bottlenecks and a plethora of c o m m i t t e e s h a v e s l o w e d permissions/approvals for trials or marketing drugs to more than 12-15 months back home in India while such permissions are given by the USFDA, EU and Singapore within a month's time.

ASSOCHAM interacted with about 250 top officials and representatives from India's pharma industry based out of five states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu between March-June, 2013 to ascertain and seek solution to their concerns and problems.

The Gazette Notification (No: GSR 53 (E) dated January 30, 2013) issued by the department of Health, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has put a 'full stop' to the research and development (R&D) in India, triggering serious concerns amid entire pharma industry.

This notification is not in line with the established international

standards and is likely to have a cascading effect on the future of clinical trials in India as the flaws in the gazette could negatively impact the future growth of R&D as well as development of low cost high quality medicines in the country.

South-east Asian countries like Cambodia, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and others are emerging as preferable destination for India's pharma companies to expand their business as they share similar patient population and disease profile and moreover, have a conducive environment for their operations like easy market approach without any regulatory uncertainty, highlights the survey.

“Flight of operations by India's pharma majors will surely hit India's image as a fast-growing, low-cost hub for medical research,” said Mr D.S. Rawat, national secretary general of ASSOCHAM while releasing the findings of the chamber's survey.

I n i t s l e t t e r t o t h e P M , ASSOCHAM has said that India's pharma industry had touched Rs 1 lakh crore with over Rs.40,000 crore of exports thereby capturing over 20% of the world's generic market, making India the world's single largest supplier of vaccines. “This milestone could not have been achieved without clinical trials for safety and efficacy,” said Mr Rawat.

More alarmingly, there are reports of trained pharma personnel exiting India causing a brain drain that our country can most ill afford.

End of pharma researchand development in India?

Sharads wife, Pushpa, is a former professor of Architecture at the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE).Sharad Dravid was a regular visitor at matches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium and his interest in the game did not necessarily stem from his son being a famous cricketer. He was a league cricketer. Sharads elder brother played for Holkar along with C K Nayudu. Rahul, in fact, developed his interest in the game by accompanying his father during his playing days.It is known that Mallya has expressed his “genuine affection” for Dravid, saying he has known him since he was a small boy, that his father was working with the UB group, that Rahul is like his own son. At the same time, Mallya has another child – RCB. He wanted RCB also to do well and come out top, exactly the way Rahul has scaled peaks in his career. That made him to take out Rahul

Bangalore: Kannada actor Hemanth, seen in his debut film "Nenapinangala", died of a heart attack at a private hospital on Wednesday. He complained of chest pain when he was working out in a gym. He was rushed to M.S. Ramaiah Hospital where he underwent treatment. He died of a heart attack. After this incident there is a widespread speculation among many gym aspirants - young and middle aged ones - who are regular in their exercise. Many Bangaloreans were seen in an i n f o r m a l d e b a t e ove r t h e relationship between heart attack and workouts in gym. What is the truth behind it?

Regular appropriate exercise really is the world's best panacea. Over time – which means years and years and, preferably decades – it builds you bones, tunes your immune system, lowers your blood pressure, improves your insulin sensitivity, rebalances your cholesterol levels, reduces the tendency of your blood to clot, lowers your risk of stroke, and slices your chances of developing colon and breast cancer by as much as a third. Day to day, it improves your digestion, enhances your mood and helps you sleep, work and relax better.

Nevertheless, the conventional wisdom that “exercise is good for you” needs rewriting. While the right types of exercise, done with

the right mindset and continued in the right way (which means for the rest of your life) are indisputably good for you, the wrong type of exercise might be even worse than lolling on the sofa. Physiologists have found that the sweat and grind of high-intensity workouts releases the stress hormones cortisol and nor-adrenalin into the system; if they remain elevated they can have a whole range of deleterious metabolic affects on the circulation that cancel the cardiovascular benefits of the training. The harder and more competitively you work out (even if only competing with yourself), the higher the levels of these bad-news hormones . Research shows that while you need to push yourself beyond your comfort zone from time to time to get a training effect, once you start pushing yourself well beyond the limits of tolerance, all the benefits of exercise start to come undone. Immunity to infection falters, mood plummets, sleep suffers and the risk of ill health (and even death) starts to rise over and above that of your sinfully sedentary neighbour. Although the world's longest running survey on the impact of fitness on survival – in which 17,000 Harvard college graduates took part – found death rates were.

The first fitness essential, then, is to determine what activities you can do, enjoyably for the rest of your life. The second is to recognise the

Bangalore: The crime rates have increased in the city and in the past two years, there were reports of more robbery. The recent attack on police night patrolling in the city shows crime and robbery are at its high. It has become unsafe for people to travel during night. The miscreants are from different parts of the country making their livelihood successfully by indulging in such acts. The following figures are based on a data from city public gathered at random when they visited a web site in the past two years and they prove horrendous. If value is 0, it means it is perceived as very low, and if value is 100, it means it is perceived as very high.

health value of rest. Exercise – vigorous exercise, especially – results in a very real amount of wear and tear and the body's maintenance system needs the opportunity to repair the damage. Sleep alone won't do it. While a day of rest is considered a criminal waste of 24 hours by many fitness fanatics, it's now emerging as just as essential an element of a fitness regime as your regular 30 minute run or weight-training session. It's the Yin/Yang principle of light and shade, and one we ignore at our peril.

Devanahalli: L& W Construction Pvt Ltd bought a 25-acre of land at Devanahalli Rs.100 crore from a subsidiary of garment manufacturer Gokaldas Images Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd in what's described as one of the biggest land deals of the year in the city. L&W, a unit of Singapore-based construction company Lee Kim Who Hup Pte Ltd, bought the land from SIIC Package (India) Pvt. Ltd, the Gokaldas subsidiary, according to a media release.“This is one of Bangalore's largest land deals of 2013 to date,” said mayank Sakesna, managing director (land services), at real estate consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle India, which brokered the deal. The location of this land, on NH7 at Devanahalli, is among Bangalore's most promising growth corridors by virtue of its proximity to the Bangalore International Airport.The Devanahalli area has seen several premium and luxury projects being set up. According to experts, this is largely due to the ongoing and planned infrastructure development there, with the establishment of the airport being one of the primary catalysts for the north Bangalore market.
