Talking about teachers being paid less in private institutions- It is happening in Karnataka in almost all government schools where they have at least 20% of the staff on temporary terms and wages. Unless we pay a certain sum every time the pay check comes which is once in three months for dues that are six to seven months old, the check gets further delayed or sent back.
Situation in Rajasthan is better. It is right that no. of teachers are not enough here. But we have not system of temporary teachers. Earlier here government appoint some teacher on temporary basis. government paid to them on period basis. These teachers were called Shiksh Mitra. Qualification for these are only 12th. For regular teachers here salary payment system is online and we get salary almost every month.

On top of the fast vanishing underground water, setting fires to forests and hillsides is another favorite pastime of Indians that might be worsening the drought problem. Indian farmers are known to set farmers under the belief that it makes the ground more fertile for future crops but experts disagree with it, as fragile ecosystems that are indigenous in nature get destroyed forever. I do not have much knowledge about the relationship of these fires with the depleting water, but such fires do increase pollution and temperatures. One such large scale fire has been raging for weeks in the Uttarakhand and I came to know about it only now through a Facebook page. Wonder why the government and media are both silent on such an important issue.

Yes this is being shown on all news channels since more than a week now..Normally when the summer heat is unbearable and tree branches dry out, there can be friction and become the cause of forest fire. I have seen it in western ghats and it is not easy to put it off because of the sheer volume it consumes. Such a pity that precious forest land is being lost !
Kalyani problem of fire is serious. It reached to Himchal Pradesh. Government is not silent. They doing what is possible. Air force is trying to control it. In this week rain is possible so it will also help in control this fire.

When the minister said it is anti national to advice against Ayurveda , he means that the doctors are not showing the respect or regard that should be shown to essentially what is an Indian based knowledge which is true in a way, depends on how one wants to interpret !
I am agree with you most of alopathy doctors have not respect and regards for Indian medicines and therpies. But time is changes. Doctors are accepting that Ayurveda is useful. India's famous cardilogist said that for fast recovery we must be mix Ayurveda with alopathy medicines. He said that all antibiotics are poison but Ayurveda is natural. cordilogist of Sir Ganga Ram hospital suggest Amla for BP problem. I am using it. It is effective.

Here in most temples there are slipper stalls outside , where you can leave your footwear paying a nominal sum, which is a good idea because it is neatly kept and remains safe. I knew of ordinary people who wear their old slippers while going to the temple and come back wearing a nice pair of footwear belonging to someone else. The thieves may be doing it as a profession or out of need but this is cheap !
Slipper stalls is nice thing. Most of major gurudwaras have slipper stall and people give their service with charging any sum. They also polish shoes and slippers of peoples.

Sure stupid responses and stupid rejoinders as usual..
Coming back to the topic.. Ayurveda has become quite popular in Malaysia and also in the USA since the 1970's where they have a Ayurvedic college in California. It is slowly but steadily getting established and attracting more interest .. Recently I met a Swedish lady who had come from Gothenburg in Sweden to study about Ayurveda, also get some treatment for her backache through Ayurveda..

Similar fires are regularly reported from Australia and parts of USA also. They are difficult to control and also cause losses to property and humans too.
