People like Hardik are teaching a lesson to us and our government that the reservation based cast should be cancelled immediately else people from other communities will start their movements like Hardik and will create difficulty for public and government. The Hardik movement in Gujrat has destroyed public property on a large scale and also public working in private sector are effected by this agitation.

rambabu created new topic Now Yoga is gaining ground..
Ever since UN declared "Yoga Day" on June 21 every year, Yoga started gaining ground all over the World.
Now, Yoga has been recognised as a Sport. For this category, the ministry will fund the National championships, one international event in India per year and a maximum of one foreign exposure each for seniors and juniors.
At last, Yoga has got it's due place.

Strikes and Dharnas make economy a mess. I need not stress the importance of Economy in making a country march towards development and Growth. So, I wish to see a Government sans Strikes and Dharnas and the political Leaders who encourage Strikes and Dharnas which are divisive and breaks the Backbone of economy should be banned. To express any kind of discontentment, Parliament alone should be made the stage to resolve the crisis. Every person worth his salt should not take the law in his hands and give a clarion call, " Ab Chalo Bandh Kiya Jaay".

This year Mumbaikars are being offered idols that are not made of Plaster of Paris and chemical paints. Every year, Mumbai sees over 1.5 lakh Ganesh idols immersed in the waters, leading to major pollution.
A good move from an NGO to curb Sea Pollution.

rambabu created new topic Malnutrition in Teens..
An Adolescent Girl, who is well nourished is more likely to perform well in school than her poorly nourished counterpart.
She is also more likely to give birth to a healthy baby if she delays the age of marriage and pregnancy, and is already well nourished. This in turn improves her child's chances of survival, physical growth and brain development, with significant health and economic benefits across the lifetime, thereby breaking the cycle of under-nutrition and poverty.

The Government has no option but to help these hawkers. Because the entire Bengali community is mad after this food. I had that sweet experience.

So Mamata Banerjee is doing a good job at least with regard to this ! I remember the Kati rolls you got from a place called Nizams , it was really tasty ! Now of course they have become a proper restaurant outlet !

Many people who work late hours and bus drivers,cleaners etc thrive on street food since they have no other option. I happened to eat pav and egg burji from one such stall when all restaurants were closed late at night and we were hungry and it was prepared in front of us and served on paper plates and was very tasty besides being cheap ! If these stalls are banned who is going to provide for these stall owners who are making living and doing it so honestly and providing for a class of people who cannot afford anything else when they are working or on the move ...
I agree Usha, it is the taste and affordability of this food to common people which drives crowds over to them. But the point here is of banning such food stalls in close proximity to schools in order to deter school children from eating them. Parents and schools should encourage children to eat more freshly cooked home made food and not outside. Whereas such stalls are concerned, we cannot totally do away with them as poor people would suffer. Instead what we can do is provide those stall owners with proper sanitation facilities and safe water to cook their food and clean their utensils etc.
This was just an example I was giving because around our school there are a few such stalls which sell local food like , Dosa Pundi ( steamed rice balls ) Ghasi ( gravy) and such other stuff prepared by them which the children like to eat and which is no way junk food,They are all terrified of what may happen since their livelihood will be hit badly.Earlier in the thread I made the same suggestion that these people be given help and guidance so that they are able to keep running their stalls maintaining proper sanitation and cleanliness like you said !
It is good that the stalls you mentioned sell such regional and healthy fare, but I think it must be a rare exception, because at least in Maharashtra such kind of stalls sell stuff such as wada-pav, onion pakods, bhajiyas etc. which have been fried in oil that must have been used at least a 100 times. Of course there are other stalls too which sell better fare such as idlis, dosas, upma, poha etc. but again, hygiene and sanitation is issue. Also since most of these stalls are irregular, there are no proper facilities given to them. So first step would be regularizing the stalls legally, which again raises numerous other questions.
