A whats app message Another good decision of Modi Government on the suggestion of Superstar Akshay Kumar: ........
Payment of only one rupee per day and that too for Indian Army. In the cabinet meeting yesterday, Modi Government opened a bank account for the modernization of Indian Army and for the soldiers who get injured or martyred in the war zone. In which every Indian can donate any amount as per his/her wish. Which starts from 1 rupee and is unlimited.

This money will also be used to buy weapons for the army and paramilitary forces. On the suggestion of people on Mann Ki Baat and Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Modi Government has finally taken a decision on today's burning situation and opened Army Welfare Fund Battle Casualty Fund Account in New Delhi, *Canara Bank.

This is a master stroke of Film Star Akshay Kumar. From where no one can stop India from becoming a super power. If even 70% of India's 130 crore population puts only one rupee in this fund daily, then that 1 rupee will become 100 crore in a day. 3000 crores in 30 days and 36000 crores in a year. 36,000 crores is not even Pakistan's annual defense budget. We spend 100 or 1000 rupees every day on useless things, but if we give one rupee for the army, then India will definitely become a super power.

This money of yours will be deposited directly in the Army Assistance and War Casualty Fund of the Ministry of Defense. Which will be used for military equipment and army soldiers.

So join this campaign of Modiji and help the army directly.

Nothing will be achieved by shouting slogans against Pakistan, blocking roads and making statements. Implement the thinking of Modi and the people of the country and strengthen the army of your country. So that countries like Pakistan and China can be shown their place without the help of any country. Bank details are given below.

World Bank @ 80: Radical Restructuring, Not Reforms https://apmdd.org/worldbankat80/ Joe Athialy
 October 8, 2024   it conceded to a few demands of communities and civil society organizations, like operational policy revisions resulting in relatively progressive social and environmental safeguard policies, establishing independent accountability mechanisms, transparency policies, and alike. ..  however, the Bank found ways to weaken the effectiveness of these policies and mechanisms, found ways to bypass them, and forged new partnerships and collaborations to take forward their neo-liberal agenda, corporate welfarism, and undermine the sovereignty of emerging economies. 

Eight decades later, the United States continues to be the largest shareholder at the Bank, having a veto on every decision. 

 radical restructuring

Democratization of governance from one-dollar-one-vote to one-country-one-vote 

Shifting its focus from climate change to climate and economic justice. 

Strengthening transparency and accountability mechanisms

Eliminating any loan conditions that impose neoliberal policies

Prioritizing initiatives aimed at reducing inequality 

Fostering partnerships with a wider range of stakeholders, including grassroots organizations and social movements, to create a more inclusive approach to global development.

Save Aarey: Lessons from the movement with environmentalists Rishi Agarwal and Vidyadhar Pathak  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piZL4VuR7Ls  Citizen Matters
Jun 10, 2024 
Rishi Aggarwal, an environmentalist, founder of the Mumbai Sustainability Centre and the Walking Project, was active in the Aarey Movement for several years. 

After realising that the Metro car shed would not be shifted, he felt that one should stop the fight and probably try and work on other struggles. He strongly feels that the time for action at Aarey was a decade ago in 2014-15 and not later. He has now written a book about his experience with the movement, titled, "Saving Aarey: The undoing of an environmental campaign.” 

The book not only traces the journey of the movement, but also critically looks at the role played by politicians, policy makers and most importantly, the middle-class of the city. 

Citizen Matters hosted an online discussion with author Rishi Aggarwal and environmentalist Vidyadhar Pathak, just before the book launch on June 5th. 

In a straightforward and honest conversation about the movement and other environmental issues that plague the city, Rishi underscored the importance of civic participation in safeguarding the forests and green lungs. 

He and Vidyadhar highlighted that if development projects do not take environmental impact into consideration, we are headed for hotter summers, drier monsoons and severe winters. And it is for people to helm the struggle to save their cities from climate change.  https://citizenmatters.in/

According to sources from the dera, a decision to vote for a particular party is taken at the top level after discussions at various levels – the village, block, district and state.  Sources claimed that the first discussion happens at the level of a loose gathering of the dera’s supporters within a village. The choice of the party is then communicated to the premi sewak, who is in-charge of carrying out the dera’s activities in a village. The premi sewak then informs the block premi sewak, who in turn discusses it with a 15-member district panel. The decision of the district panel is passed on to an 85-member state committee, which conveys it to the top management. The final decision is then relayed back to the followers through the sangat – the network of the dera’s supporters.

However, dera spokesperson Jitendra Khurana said, “Pitaji (Ram Rahim) has nothing to do with the decision of the sangat. The sangat takes the decision at its own level. Pitaji has never made any decision about voting for any political party.”

Rahul Gandhi Dalit Kitchen Viral Video: Rahul Gandhi visited the house of Author Shahu Patole in Maharashtra and had dinner with his family, the video of which is going viral on

The book Dalit Kitchens of Marathwada  presents the poor man's patchwork plate, one devoid of oil, ghee and milk, and comprising foods not known to savarna dictionaries. It also examines Hindu scriptures that prescribed what each varna should eat--and questions the idea that one becomes what one eats. From humble fare to festive feasts, the recipes carefully woven into the narrative show you the transformative power of food in connecting communities and preserving cultural identity.

"Odisha has cut down out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) on health by almost half in less than a decade. https://www.newindianexpress.com/amp/story/states/odisha/2024/Oct/05/oope-in-odisha-drops-to-371-pc-from-715-pc-in-less-than-a-decade   The OOPE in the state is now among the lowest in the country, as per the National Health Accounts (NHA) estimate"

"The government’s expenditure on health rose more than four times - from Rs 3,354 crore to Rs 14,108 crore, pushing the per capita expenditure up from Rs 762 to Rs 3,067 during the six year period"

   https://www.cenfa.org/mudra-loan-numbers-biggest-jumla-b  y-the-finance-minister/  The Finance Minister reiterated that it was bank data and that in Tamil Nadu, 5.6 crore people have been given MUDRA loans amounting to Rs. 3 lakh crores. In Coimbatore alone, 20 lakh people were given loans. The population of Tamil Nadu is 8.39 crores, and Coimbatore’s is 30.8 lakhs (Estimate for 2024). Does this mean that 67% of the population, including those aged 0-18 and above 60, have been given a MUDRA loan? On average, 26% of the population in India is between the ages of 0-14, and 7% is above 65 years old (and ineligible for any loan). So, has everyone aged 19-65 been given a MUDRA loan? Where are these enterprises? Every little space would have to be filled by enterprises.
