Problems Persist

Good morning,the magical word everyone says atleast from the day he/she starts going to school and make it a habit .But do we know how many in India get the previlage to go to school .The number of children attending school has gone up many-fold since the time of India’s Independence – increasing from around 19.2 million in 1950-51 to 113.8 million in 2000-01.Although poverty is often cited as the cause underlying child labour, other factors such as discrimination, social exclusion, as well as the lack of quality education or existing parents’ attitudes and perceptions about child labour and the role and value of education need also to be considered. In states like Bihar, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, 60 per cent or more girls dropped out before completing their five years primary education.Trafficking of children also continues to be a serious problem in India. The nature and scope of trafficking range from industrial and domestic labour, to forced early marriages and commercial sexual exploitation. Existing studies show that over 40 per cent of women sex workers enter into prostitution before the age of 18 years.  But several problems persist.

Several million more suffer from multiple episodes of diarrhoea and still others fall ill on account of Hepatitis A, enteric fever, intestinal worms and eye and skin infections caused by poor hygiene and unsafe drinking water.

Despite the Government and UNICEF’s best efforts, diarrhoea remains the major cause of death amongst children, after respiratory- tract infections. Unhygienic practices and unsafe drinking water are some of its main causes. More than 122 million households in the country are without toilets. Even though toilets are built in about 3 million households every year, the annual rate of increase has been a low 1 per cent in the past decade.

Among the many contributing factors is the quality of the physical space that children inhabit.

Of India’s 700,000 rural schools, only one in six have toilets deterring children especially girls from going to school, and if enrolled, in remaining there.In addition are cultural factors: continuing discrimination against the girl child plays a crucial role in creating resistance around sending girls to school. Government efforts have been intensified in recent years following the launch of various programmes including the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) in 1992, the Minimum Levels of Learning (MLL) initiative and more recently the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (or the National Programme for Universal Elementary Education). 

 
UNICEF is an active partner in the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan supporting its objective to ensure all children complete five years of school and have access to good quality education.

Road Accidents

In India, according to the World Bank reports, about 1 Lakh people were killed in road accidents in the year 2007 and among these about forty youngsters died every day. The toll is not just on life but also on the country's economy. The World Bank report estimates that road accidents cost India about 3% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).Road accidents place a tremendous expense on health care services, costs of providing rehabilitation, value of lost household services, lost earnings of victims, and lost income of survivors in the respective families. These costs directly impact the country's economy by burdening the financial resources of the country.Road fatalities are considered a serious public health issue and are gradually overtaking deadly diseases like tuberculosis and AIDS. Due to the widespread impact, the issue of road accidents has been termed a global epidemic.

Safety beings at home.Right from the birth ,human beings develop a sence of safety to protect themselves from the environment.Safety is not only necessary for the individual but also for the socity on the whole.The population now has grown up to an alarming level.Earlier,when there was no much pressure on the land,man was free to movefrom place to place at his will.
The main cause of the car accidents are drivers distractions,drunken drivers,driver fatigue,using cellular phones while driving,speeding,aggressive driving,mechanical failure,road conditions and weather.Usually the most affected in car accident is driver,but the passengers and the pedestrians are also affected by it.Road accidents are the biggest cause of death among 15 to 24 year olds.The past couple of months alone have seen several horrific fatal crashes .
Seat belts ,speed limits ,sensible driving,tool roads,proper zebra crossings,correct lane driving anything that makes drivers safer will benefit everyone on the road.

Kamal कमल (Nelumbo nucifera) -- Lotus

The (red) lotus has pride of place in Indian literature. The national floweris another universal favourite of the Gods, and its beauty is often used in in similes for the beauty of heros/heroines: "face as beautiful as a blooming lotus" or "eyes shaped like lotus petals". A woman's beauty may be compared to that of a pond full of blooming lotuses (Nalinī, padminī) or her slender frame to that of a lotus stem. A famous couplet ascribed to Kalidasa describes a woman's face as a miracle of flower blooming within a flower: her beautiful eyes are like dark blue lotuses blooming in the pink lotus of her face!
The goddess Lakshmi sits on a red Lotus, and Sarasvati, on a white one. The Lotus is associated with Lord Brahma, who was created sitting on a lotus arising from the navel of Lord Vishnu. The lotus has esoteric and sacred significance in spirituality. The Mother Goddess (Devi) is called Kamalāmba or "Lotus Mother": she resides in a thousand-petalled lotus said to be located in the Sahasrāra Chakra in the head. Raising the serpent power kundalini to this place leads to Realization, which is the aim of the practitioners of "Sri Vidya Upasana". Lotus symbols are central in yantra patterns, and form part of many designs of decoration in more secular contexts. The lotus blooms at day and closes at night: so the sun is referred to as the "Friend of the Lotus".

Expectations bring misery

• Expectations are the root cause of misery . Life is full of expectation.We are very sensitive to our expectations and if these are not met with-We are restless, tend to react sharply. Our behaviour changes.And we revolve around meeting expectations, making expectations. And the life goes on. A mother expects her children to settle well in their life. If you are miserable today how do you think tomorrow is going to be blissful. Tomorrow will come out of you. Your tomorrow comes out of you. All your yesterdays together plus today is going to be your tomorrow. Simple arithmetic.  A wife expects her husband to be caring and loving. A husband expects his wife to fulfill his desires. Children expect their parents to buy what all they want in their life. So this type of expectation continues from person to person. When these expectations are not fulfilled then starts the misery for which each and every individual becomes prey.Junk thoughts are any thoughts that create anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, anger, blame, resentment, jealousy, envy - any thoughts that create misery.We all have junk thoughts at times, but many people never connect their junk thoughts with their misery. They think that their misery is coming form other people, or from events or circumstances. Yet research on happiness and unhappiness shows that only about 10% of unhappiness comes from outside circumstances, while fully 50% of happiness or misery comes from your own thoughts and actions. The other 40% is genetic - i.e. some people are born with sunny dispositions while others are more serious or morose. However, the research also shows that even those who are born more serious or morose, have the choice to be happy by developing the habit of thinking thoughts and taking actions that bring them joy.The soul leaves the body, expectations do not.Do we run away from meeting expectations? Or stop making expectations because, these cause misery. Both the statements are untrue. So what do we do? We expect and deliver to expectations.It is the individual’s perception to be contended with- what is available or feel miserable. So the problem lies with the perception or the one who perceives.Being contended is a source of lethargy or a state of mind is statement of fact as is true for sleep and peace of mind. Misery is just like a smoke. Somewhere there is fire inside us. Penetrate deep into the smoke so we can find the fire. we can’t put the smoke off as it is a byproduct. Only by the cause can something be done. If we fight with the effect it’s all in vain. Go to the cause… it’s somewhere there.

The Puttaparthi Sai Baba

From ordinary believers to the President of India, his clout spread far and wide but controversy also followed Puttaparthi Sathya Sai Baba all along.

India had, and has, several godmen but none could match his name and fame.

The death of Sathya Sai Baba was wrongly predicted by him, he did not live into his 90s as he prophesies on numerous occasions! Yet another false boast, and one which confounds all the devotees who blindly believed his words and in his divinity. He died a sick man, in more sense than one!  The BBC has announced his death, but adds that he has been accused of fraudulent miracle tricks and sexual abuses. This is an epitaph that will always follow him and, as researchers and historians collect and study the evidence, the accusations and the reason Sai Baba avoided prosecution will become evident and a permanent part of his otherwise largely bogus ‘story’

In fact, Sathya Sai Baba's influence had no barriers as his millions of followers spanned the globe.

Top-ranking politicians including prime ministers, Union ministers, governors, chief ministers, filmstars, sportspersons, industrialists and virtually the 'who's who' of the country rank among the high-profile devotees of the Baba.

Born into an ordinary family as Satyanarayana Raju in the sleepy Puttaparthi village in the dry Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, on November 23, 1926, he was to later become Sathya Sai Baba, the reincarnation of the saintly Sai Baba of Shirdi.

Now, Puttaparthi -- which metamorphosed into a self-contained city -- finds itself on the international map, thanks to the large number of the Baba's foreign devotees who visit Prasanthi Nilayam day in and day out. It boasts of an exclusive airport where chartered flights, carrying Baba's devotees from different parts of the globe, land.

In 1944, a small temple was built for Sathya Sai Baba's devotees at Puttaparthi and in 1950 a sprawling ashram popularly called the 'Prasanthi Nilayam' was built, making it his permanent abode.

His divine preaching apart, Satya Sai Baba pioneered many social service activities beginning with a tiny general hospital at Puttaparthi which has now transformed into the Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, a 220-bedded super-speciality hospital.

Another super-speciality 333-bedded SSIHMS was established at Whitefield on the outskirts of Bangalore, where the Baba's summer abode Brindavan also stands.

The Sathya Sai Central Trust manages all the service activities and also runs the Sathya Sai University (formerly Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning) at Puttaparthi. Besides, the trust also runs many schools and dispensaries in different states while it has also completed large water supply projects in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.

Volunteers from the Sathya Sai Seva Organisation are always found in the forefront carrying out relief and rehabilitation work during natural calamities not only in AP but also in other states.

Sathya Sai Baba established three primary mandirs (spiritual centres) in India - Dharmakshetra in Mumbai, Shivam in Hyderabad and Sundaram in Chennai.

Besides, there are Satya Sai centres located in over 114 countries in the world.

In 1957, Sathya Sai Baba went on a temple tour of north India and made his only overseas trip to Uganda in June 1968. In 1963, Sathya Sai Baba suffered a stroke and four severe heart attacks but survived.

Since 2005, Baba used a wheelchair and his failing health forced him to make fewer public appearances. In 2006 he suffered a fractured hip when a student standing on an iron stool slipped and both the boy and the stool fell on Baba. He gave darshan from a car or his porte chair.

Sorry

2 Corinthians 7:8-9
"Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us."




It's not the hurt that we should be apologizing for. Nobody expects your dentist to apologize to you for doing wisdom tooth surgery on you.
But it's the intent behind the hurt. Was it to protect ourselves that we ended up hurting the other person, or was it to really help the other person be built up or was it simply because we were not in the best of moods, and the other party just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Sometimes we apologize for causing hurt. But is that a biblical practice? As though the absence of hurt was a cardinal virtue? Then God would have so much to apologize for. But obviously, the absence of pain is not a virtue in itself, as the Bible clearly teaches.
Rather, what we have to reflect on is the heart's motive behind causing the hurt, & our mistakes in rendering the hurt, if well-intentioned. Of course, if it's really just us being frustrated at something else at hand, I think that's perfectly understandable.
Thus that's why an "I'm sorry I made you feel this way." is one of the most backhanded and selfish "apologies". Far better not to apologize then. Stop adding to the hurt and piling up your sins before God.

But if you're genuinely sorry for your selfish reasons, an apology is a great way to demonstrate your repentance, especially when followed up with a clear statement of where you were wrong.
And if your conscience was clear but your actions caused harm and more damage than intended, it would be the right thing to apologize too.
Don't just say sorry. Explain and confess clearly what you are saying for. Then you will be in a very good position to a receive grace and mercy and be at peace with all men.

So next time you say sorry ,better Be sorry before you say it .

Should'nt we change the game ?

Hockey is the National Game of India. Hockey has been played in India for time immemorial. There was a golden period of Indian hockey when hockey stalwarts of India ruled the game. On the international scenario there were no competitors to match the magical hands of Indian hockey players. The might and power of Indian hockey made India synonymous with the game. Unmatched excellence and incomparable talent of Indian players became folklore. The ball-juggling feats of players like Major Dhyanchand made people to think that Indian players used some kind of black magic. The Golden Era of hockey in India was the period from 1928 - 1956 when India won 6 successive gold medals in the Olympic Games

 in the 2010 Hockey World Cup, frankly speeking it was sad to see the type of performances. Except the match against Pakistan,  the players were seriously missing the preparation which the team need for a big tournament like World Cup.

 if you ask  a spectator then he will surely say that the performance was not up to the mark. Although we cheered the team many times in the matches, but was really surprised to see that none of the Indian players were there near to the goal post to protect the attacks of the opposition.

Our defense was the worst in the matches, attack was good, but they never dominated the oppositions. Now come back to the Hockey India. In my honest opinion they were the real culprits behind this poorperformance of the team. They were only thinking about how to become the boss of the association.

Controversies too played major role in the poor performance of our national team in the world cup of our national game. Players were looking for money (which was their rights too) but they got it from winning only one match. The elections of the Hockey India too played a big role in the preparation of the players.

Now the real  topic here is , weather the time has arrived when we seriously need to think about the national game. Do you think that Hockey is played in schools or collages ? I don’t think so. We don’t have the bench strength, so we need to rely on these tested players only. Go for cricket and you will see that children’s of nursery schools too have the knowledge of cricket. BCCI, the Board of Cricket Control in india is the richest sport organization in India. The team is getting good sponsors too.

Believe me that here are so many players available in the bench that you can create 100 or even thousands cricket team, and all of them will have almost the same strength. Indian Premiere League, one of the most popular sports in India is one of the examples of the bench strength of cricket players and the flow of money in this game.

So considering all these factors, why are we crying for the Indian Hockey Team? There are no sponsors for it, while players are not that much good, and no one is serious about promoting it, so why to cry for it? Just move ahead and make cricket the national game, which has all the glamour and money

A rough stone shaped smooth .Kalidas

Kalidas is considered to be one of the greatest Indian literary personalities of all time, and his work form the cornerstone of Indian mythology. Little is known about his personal life, but legends abound. He is known to be familiar with Greek Astronomy, and has used a few Greek terms in his work. According to one such popular legend, Kalidas wasn't always so wise and learned. In fact, there was a time he was considered to be one of the stupidest people in the kingdom! 
One sunny day, Kalidas was sitting on a branch of a tree, trying to saw it off. But the dimwitted man was sitting on the wrong end of the branch, so when he finally sawed through the branch, down he tumbled! This act of sheer stupidity was observed by some shrewd pundits minister passing by. 
Now these pundits wanted to play a trick on the arrogant princess, to teach her a lesson. She was determined to marry someone who would defeat her in a debate about the scriptures. The princess had heaped considerable abuse on them over a period of time, and they were determined to extract their revenge. So, when they chanced upon Kalidas, they decided to present him to the queen as a suitable match for her. 
In order to conceal his stupidity, the pundits asked Kalidas to pretend that he was a great sage, who was observing a vow of silence. Kalidas readily agreed, and they presented him to the queen, saying that Kalidas would only communicate by way of gestures. When the queen asked Kalidas a few questions to test his intelligence, Kalidas gesticulated wildly and the astute pundits 'interpreted' these gestures as extremely witty answers and retorts. The princess was suitably impressed, and the couple was married without much delay. 
Kalidas's stupidity could be concealed for only so long, and the night of the wedding Kalidas blurted out something inane. The princess realized that she had married a prize fool. Furious, she threw him out of her palace, and her life. 
The dejected Kalidas wandered around, till he came to the bank of the river. He contemplated taking his life when he suddenly saw some women washing clothes on the edge of the river bank. He observed that the stones which the women were pounding with clothes, were smooth and rounded, while the other stones were rough and ragged. This observation hit him like a thunderbolt, and it dawned upon him that if stones could be worn through and change their shape by being pounded upon by clothes, then why couldn't his thick brains change, by being pounded upon by knowledge!
Kalidas thus grew determined to become the wisest and most learned man in the country, and to achieve this end he started indulging in intellectual pastimes,reading, meditating and praying to his goddess Kali to grant him divine knowledge. His wish was fulfilled. 
Kalidas's contribution to Indian literature is tremendous. Though his writings were in Sanskrit, they have been translated into numerous languages. While numerous writings have been attributed to him, only seven works are proved to be genuinely his. 

1. Malavikaagnimitra (Malavikaa and Agnimitra)
2. Vikramorvashiiya (The story of Urvashi and Pururavas)
3. Abhigyanashakuntala (Shakuntala)

Of these plays, Kalidas is best known for the play Shakuntala, which has gone on to receive worldwide attention.

Subh Labh........

Today one of my friend ask me a question should it be Shubh Labh or Labh Shubh that people write with kumkum at there worship place.and my answer was Shubh & Laabh : These are 2 words that are firmly embedded in the psyche of every Indian. Every household & business establishment has these 2 words along with the Swastika & the images of Goddess Lakshmi & Lord Ganesha on either sides. 


           
Shubh Labh is an inscription one sees in many business places (or at entrances to traditional business places) in India. It is written in devnagri script on either side of a swastika  with KumKum. Literally translated it means, auspicious profit and is generally denoted by a Swastik which is pointed towards right.

I am not sure where this term started from (do let me know in case you are aware) and I am also not sure how this term escaped the attention of them socialists how can profit be auspicious, after all we are socialists during our heady days of socialism.

The Marwaris  and many others have something called a Bahi Khata pooja which is basically a day on Diwali /Laxmi Pooja where the ledgers and records are worshipped. When something is worshipped, the underlying meaning is that it is good, ethical. Which is why, for many businessmen, being fair in business is a big thing. The connection with spirituality and worship is a way of "corporate governance", though the meaning of it has been largely diluted today and shubh labh is now more about labh than about shubh.

INDIA and RTE The ray of hope.

The right to education has been universally recognised since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 (though referred to by the ILO as early as the 1920s) and has since been enshrined in various international conventions,national constitutions and development plans. However, while the vast majority of countries havesigned up to, and ratified, international conventions(such as the UN Convention on the Rights of theChild) far fewer have integrated these rights into their national constitutions or provided the legislativeand administrative frameworks to ensure that theserights are realised in practice.

Every child in the age group of 6-14 years will be provided 8 years of elementary education in an age appropriate classroom in the vicinity of his/her neighbourhood.RTE has been a part of the directive principles of the State Policy under Article 45 of the Constitution, which is part of Chapter 4 of the Constitution. And rights in Chapter 4 are not enforceable. For the first time in the history of India we have made this right enforceable by putting it in Chapter 3 of the Constitution as Article 21. This entitles children to have the right to education enforced as a fundamental right.

Any cost that prevents a child from accessing school will be borne by the State which shall have the responsibility of enrolling the child as well as ensuring attendance and completion of 8 years of schooling. No child shall be denied admission for want of documents; no child shall be turned away if the admission cycle in the school is over and no child shall be asked to take an admission test. Children with disabilities will also be educated in the mainstream schools. All schools will have to prescribe to norms and standards laid out in the Act and no school that does not fulfill these standards within 3 years will be allowed to function. All private schools will have to apply for recognition, failing which they will be penalized to the tune of Rs 1 lakh and if they still continue to function will be liable to pay Rs 10,000 per day as fine. Norms and standards of teacher qualification and training are also being laid down by an Academic Authority. Teachers in all schools will have to subscribe to these norms within 5 years.

Still lot of hurdles like financial the implementation of the act fall short with funds of 7000 crores in the very first year.The dearth of good and qualified teachers is another concern as according to HRD ministry we are short of five lakh teachers,Infrastructure is always been a problem for education ,there will be a big challenge to bring child labourers to school. This Act has put India in the same league as U.S.A. and 130 other Nations as far as the right to education is concerned. Nothing can change overnight but there is a ray of hope. A hope that if all these hurdles and shortcomings are overcome and the loopholes removed, then this will become the road leading towards an Educated India, a Proud India.

  

prospect of life

A person should always think about prospects of all his actions.
Community where we live want dependability on each other.whenever we leave prospects behind ,a negative interaction in life starts.In our day to day life too we should be balanced and think with a positive prospect.
We normally see when ever anyone ask for some favour we replay "not now"....tomorrow".....I am busy now ".....and so on...Just to avoid .
Once a person reaches home from office late night at 1:00 AM. the wife gets angrier but tells you are too late today i am waiting since long ,now first we'll have  dinner.
The replay was "I am too busy that i don't have time to die either and you are asking for food.    lady angrily said" I am busy too wait before you die as I don't have time to cry for you right now.
Whenever we think of others prospect there wont be any place for anger .In a society where we live we should  think about others also .
when someone ignore others prospect in life the life tend to become miserable So the balance of life is in Good Prospect.

Chai

Masala chai (literally "spiced tea") is a beverage from the Indian subcontinent made by brewing tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs.

A tea's type is determined by the processing which it undergoes. Leaves of Camellia sinensis soon begin to wilt and oxidize, if not dried quickly after picking. The leaves turn progressively darker as their chlorophyll breaks down and tannins are released. This process, enzymatic oxidation, is called fermentation in the tea industry. Fermentation can be either aerobic or anaerobic, and is sometimes mistakenly believed to necessitate the involvement of bacteria. In fact, fermenting agents can be yeast, bacteria, or even only enzymatic (such as your muscles under heavy exercise). Most of the darkening of tea is believed to be because of enzymatic oxidationWithout careful moisture and temperature control during manufacture and packaging, the tea will grow fungi.

Tea is traditionally classified based on the techniques with which it is produced and processed.

• White tea: Wilted and unoxidized
• Yellow tea: Unwilted and unoxidized, but allowed to yellow
• Green tea: Unwilted and unoxidized
• Oolong: Wilted, bruised, and partially oxidized
• Black tea: Wilted, sometimes crushed, and fully oxidized     
•  Post-fermented tea: Green tea that has been allowed to ferment/compost                                                                                                        Tea plants are native to East and South Asia and probably originated around the point of confluence of the lands of northeast India, north Burma, southwest China, and Tibet. Although tales exist in regards to the beginnings of tea being used as a beverage, no one is sure of its exact origins. The usage of tea as a beverage was first recorded in China, with the earliest records of tea consumption with records dating back to the 10th century BC. It was already a common drink during Qin Dynasty (around 200 BC) and became widely popular during Tang Dynasty, when it was spread to Korea and Japan. Trade of tea by the Chinese to Western nations in the 19th century spread tea and the tea plant to numerous locations around the world.

Community Service.....It gives a great feeling

I recently went to the office of an NGO for some business there an idea clicked into my mind about community service. In our school days we were taken to some or other task related to community service like picking the pebbles from the street,making the park free from garbage etc. 
we also had drives for collecting cloths ,books and toys or anything from our locality and take it to school from where the CRY people would come and take the stuff they would sometimes give us cards and other stuff at Diwali or Christmas break and tell us to sell it for the benefit of some underprivileged children who are waiting for it.
It was fun and there we used to learn about harmony and synchronization among our self . it was way of life we used to wait for such activities as it had a thrill in it and of course we got to learn and see the world .I learned how to work in harmony with others and experienced an abnormal feeling of sensitivity ,it was a great feeling to work for the betterment of others .
 I remember once we were taken for a tree plantation drive from school .We were told about it a day prior .every one was thrilled .at about 9:00 Am we reached at a footsteps of a hill about 15 km from our school there we saw some people with about five to seven hundred saplings and small holes digged all over the hill .we finished around 1:00 pm had lot of fun it was like a picnics with a cause.

I still feel that i have done a bit of my contribution to the society at an Early age and now also i always find opportunity and love to contribute to the community by planting trees at road side or donating my old stuff for a cause .Everyone should cultivate such habit of community service at an early age for a better and hormonal atmosphere in our country and world .

Good Politicians.

All politicians are like Pollution, we know they are harm full but we can't help .Now a days all 

politicians are one and the same, the hidden agenda of all political parties are how to gallop the common man's money and sell all resources and get money for there swiss bank account.

Talking about qualifications almost everyone know   there are a little who are well qualified in the political sector.here again i have a point Survey says that if more the person is educated the more he will be corrupt as he  know how to get out of the mess and be clear.

When asking why poor countries are poor, it is quite common to hear, especially in wealthier countries that are perceived to have minimal corruption that other countries are poor because of corruption. Yet, corruption is not something limited to third world despots. Rich countries too have been involved in corrupt practices around the world.

If the politicians will adhere to corruption than almost everyone will be as he is said to be on the top of the pyramid and the money flows from there .Countries that are very corrupt allow for the most construction fraud,which is difficult to see when the building or bridge is being built.there is roughly a one to one relationship between a nations wealth and its perceived level of corruption Less wealthy nations are the most corrupt.Corruption is the major cause and result of Corruption.

The poorest person is the one who is most affected by corruption which is done by a good politician who get away with it .

Countries that are very corrupt allow for the most construction fraud

Vulture ......Save it to save Earth

                  

Vultures have been the integral part of the food chain of the ecosystem and served as scavenger. But now the scavenger’s population is on decline drastically and they are endangered. Their absolute decline can devastate environment posing severe problem of ecological imbalances. And Indian subcontinent is especially under threat.

Populations of three species of South Asian vulture, the white-backed vulture (Gyps bengalensis), the long-billed vulture (Gyps indicus) and the slender-billed vulture (Gyps tenuirostris), have declined rapidly within the last decade and all are now critically endangered. These vultures is heading towards extinction unless the official use of a livestock drug is banned completely in practice that has caused the birds to decline faster than the dodo. This was reiterated by Indian and British veterinary Scientists.
The study confirms that the population of oriental white-backed vultures has plunged 99.9 per cent since 1992 while the numbers of two species, the long-billed and slender-billed vultures, together have fallen by nearly 97 per cent. 

It is opined that a wider ban of the veterinary drug diclofenac and more captive breeding centers are the only way to save the birds found mainly in India. However, India banned manufacture of the veterinary form of the anti-inflammatory in 2006, but a version formulated for humans is still used to treat livestock, the researchers said. When the vultures feed on carcasses they ingest the drug, which shuts down their kidneys and kills them within days. The ban on diclofenac production for veterinary use was an excellent first step. But this alone is insufficient to save the dying vultures population. Vultures are important to the ecosystem and for human health in India because they are the primary means of scavenging of dead animal carcasses in the nation of some 1.12 billion people.The decline of these birds have led to a sharp increase in dead animals around villages and towns, which has boosted the numbers of disease-carrying rats and rabid stray dogs, as reported by the bystander. This is a direct consequence of the decline of the vultures.

A study followed four previous counts and was the first since 2003. The researchers have warned that all three species could dwindle down to a few hundred birds or less to the verge of extinction in less than 10 years. The researchers believe that the number of oriental white-backed vultures in India could now be as low as 11,000 from tens of millions in the 1980s. Populations of the long-billed vultures have dropped to 45,000 while only an estimated 1,000 of the slender-billed species remain.

The way things rolling up, the extinction of vultures could be faster than the Dodo, which at least took 100 years to be wiped out from the earth.
