APPDSU blasts Border Affairs dept, demands relief camp
ITANAGAR, Nov 26: After eviction drive carried out by the Assam Forest Officials
at Sango under Tarasso circle in which several houses were burnt, All Papum Pare
District Students’ Union has come down heavily on the Border Affairs department of
Arunachal Pradesh as mere “show-
It said that creation of the department is a huge wastage on government’s exchequer.
The Union who visited the affected area yesterday said that at least 10 families have been rendered homeless. It called on the government to set up temporary camp with basic facilities.
APPDSU further demanded the state govt. to give first priority to the development
of the road communication of the inter-
APPDSU further said that it is shocked to see the pathetic condition of Taraso Secondary School and boys and girls living in small huts designated as hostel.
The union appealed for establishment of hostel and deployment of subject teachers immediately.
The students union demanded the government of Assam to compensate the villagers of Sango under Taraso circle.
It further said that the Assam forest officials responsible for the inhuman act should be punished as per law of the land to prove that Assam Govt is not behind the eviction drives.
AAPSU writes to Chinese envoy, rakes up border, visa issue
ITANAGAR, Nov 26: In a surprising move that is unlikely to find any favour with the
Centre, All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) has sought an appointment with
the Chinese Ambassador in India. The people of Arunachal have faced lot of trouble
in the last 50 years because of Indo-
It said that the indigenous people of Arunachal Pradesh have been silent spectator to the various talks on the border issue between China and India in the last few decades. The Union further mentioned the issuances of stapled visa by the Chinese government to the Arunachal people and repeated claims of Arunachal by the Chinese as their own.
There has been report of numerous intrusions into Arunachal state territory by the Chinese army and the people of Arunachal Pradesh is being sandwiched in the international politics. The tense atmosphere created by Chinese government's claim over Arunachal is quite evident as the development has slowed down and people live in fear that Chinese army may raid just like 1962, the letter read.

to look into the matter relating to enhancing Plan assistance for strengthening the
livestock farms of the state which he will take up the matter with the Ministers
concern and the Chief minister as the Animal Husbandry and Dairy is the backbone
of the economic development of the rural farmers and which was adequately addressed
in Budget Speech of Finance Minister in 2010-

He also visited the construction site of the new Directorate office building at Nirjuli and wished that the construction of the office is quickly completed so that the officers can work in new building with a new zeal.

1st green revolution-
Rima Taipodia
In the agricultural policy in the 60s, a change had been noticed that had been termed
the first green revolution. A joint venture of the Ford Foundation of Henry Ford,
and the Rockefeller Foundation of Standard Oil had made the world’s agricultural
system more dependent on energy and mineral oil. This was an indivisible part of
the strategy of making the world more dependent on petroleum. Behind this “green
revolution” there were other motives than just improving the Indian agricultural
output. The fulfillment of the self-
By exploiting the food crisis, the green revolution entered India. When a nationwide
food crisis was going on in the country in the beginning of the 60’s, the green revolution
package entered the country through the medium of export reform. Firstly, India was
told that a nationwide survey of soil fertility needed to be conducted. The sale
of farming equipment in India heralded the use of expensive machinery in Indian agriculture.
Also, technology related to chemical fertilizer production was made sophisticated
at this time. This was followed by the induction of high yielding seed varieties.
Punjab was chosen as the incubation center for the green revolution. Along with the
revolution, diesel pump-
Towards the green revolution, in order to turn the popular tide of public opinion, a large scale effort was undertaken to train the scientists who would support it. The US undertook the responsibility of establishing an agricultural university in Punjab. After that, such universities were established in different places like Hyderabad, Tamil Nadu.
By directly becoming involved in the establishment of 5 universities of the first phase, US established roots in the Indian agricultural education and training arena. National universities had very close associations with US based universities, which often influenced their policy decisions. Examples of such collaborations were the involvements of the Ohio University in Punjab, Michigan University in Tamil Nadu, Purdue, Iowa university in Bangalore.
In India, this is how the green revolution established itself. This same idea was applied in other countries.
Tales of increased yield from the green revolution were circulated. Starting from the school textbooks, people were brainwashed on the positive effects of the green revolution. But nowhere were its negative aspects mentioned. While statistics of increased yield were presented, the price for this yield increase was not mentioned. There were three main subjects of the green revolution.
1. Increase in amount of land under agriculture.
2. Fertile lands were directed to have double crops and increased irrigation.
3. Increased use of high yielding variety seeds.
Regarding the first two abovementioned steps, it is not clear why on earth one would need the great opinions of American experts. There was no need for the eminent experts to tell us that more grain can be produced by cultivating more land which would help in building up the farming system of the country. Second, neither is there any doubt that production would rise if two crops are grown instead of one. The third advice was for securing their hold in seed market. This raised per acre yield undoubtedly. But one also has to consider that cost of production has gone up in the same rate. There is no efficiency gain in obtaining more power by spending more power. In newly independent countries like India where the bourgeoisie rules, the “green revolution” was accorded the status of national agricultural policy. In order to protect from the danger of Second World War and world wide economic depression, the interest of the saviour of world capitalism, namely the United States, and that of the Indian bourgeoisie converged on the same point.
The government was not concerned about the food availability of common people in the agricultural system of colonial age. Without attaining any development in agriculture many exportable crops such as jute, coffee, tobacco, cotton were grown. In the interest of imperialism through permanent settlement, zamindari, mahalwari, ryotwari tenure systems capitalist production were carried on. The main aim of the British government was to collect taxes, to that end it compromised with the local feudal structure.
Along with problems of expansion of capitalism in agriculture, immediately after independence therefore food crisis, problems of all around rural development cropped up. The reason why the Indian capitalist class interest started following the blue print prepared by the two American organisations, Rockfeller and Ford Foundation are as follows,
1. In the newly independent country the torch bearer of democracy, to achieve welfare for all ,the Indian government, followed a system of mixed economy. But while doing so crisis on food front became the biggest issue. To reach food to industrial workers and ordinary citizens control should be exercised over supply of food and its price. Therefore, the central government adopted green revolution oriented agricultural policy to quell possibilities of imminent rebellion and insurrections.
2. In agriculture, some investments were legitimately taking place. A major part
of the compensation paid to the princely states also got invested in industries and
share market. But in spite of all this the capitalist structure in agriculture was
not taking a robust shape because of elements of semi-
3. On the thinking, practice, values (especially in the field of technology) western influences were leaving deep imprint in the middle and upper class for decades before independence was attained. In the newly independent country that western influence, mainly in technology, became US oriented within a decade.
On the other hand as far as the harmful effects of green revolution are concerned the first is stability. The yield per acre could not be sustained. Two, countries which had adopted this technology are importing food at present. Possibly the global food merchants had this aim in mind. Three, hunger of the poor has not gone down, it has risen on the contrary. Serious harms were done to ecology. The farmers are finding farming no longer profitable courtesy adoption of the expensive farming system. Besides the well off farmers, conditions of small and marginal peasants have deteriorated (92% of peasants in West Bengal are small and marginal).
Farmer Suicide:
Incidence of farmer suicide has been growing no matter how loud India blows their trumpets over agricultural development,. Existences of crores of marginal and small farmers are at risk due to the attack of neoliberal economic policies. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, 1,99 132 farmers were forced to commit suicide between 1997 and 2008 itself. The count is still inclining. Five states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh contributed the most to this. Mumbai, the capital city of Maharashtra, is supposed to be the life centre of financial activities in India. The same state saw about 45000 farmer suicides. In a year alone, Maharashtra clocked a record of 436 and Karnataka 398 farmers suicides.
The Punjab Experience:
Due to the first green revolution, it is heard that Punjab has prospered a lot and
the lives and livelihood of the farmers in Punjab have improved. But what is the
actual state of Punjab peasants? Of all states, the highest number of indebted farmers
is in Punjab. The average level of indebtedness per agriculturist is about Rs 42000.
The volume of total indebtedness is Rs 25000 crores. From 1998 to till today, more
than 2000 farmers have committed suicide in this state. According to non-
Small and marginal farmers own most of the land in West Bengal due to land reforms,. They have succeeded in achieving all round improvement of agriculture in the state. West Bengal is one of the major states in agricultural production. One of the sinister aims of neoliberal globalisation is to establish the dominance of capital in agricultural business. Many infamous multinational companies and capitalists of this country have entered the fray to secure their business power in agriculture. These businessmen are eager to put into practice a capital and technology intensive agricultural system. If they are successful the small and marginal farmers will either be thrown off their occupation and turn into farm labourers. Or they will choose the final option of suicide through the debt route.
The aim of many national and international big capitalists as it is well known is
to grab large tracts of land, invest huge sums of money and modern technology and
earn windfall profit in the agricultural business. To achieve this, the first task
would be to reverse whatever little land reform that has taken place. As it is, per
capita land ownership is less in eastern India. After the land reform in West Bengal
per family land ownership has gone down further. One of the aims of the second green
revolution is to nullify the land reform system and establish the unchallenged dominance
of big capitalists in place of the big landlords of yesteryears. (The writer is a

The green gold or the green tea is a gift from the nature to the world. Very commonly, this green tea is also known as the Chinese tea. From last few years, the green tea is becoming one of the popular beverages in the world. More than refreshing, green is have many other qualities. The medicinal qualities if the green tea is not hidden from the world. Even in the developed countries in European Union and USA, about 50 percents of the people prefers the daily sips of green tea other than any other beverages.
The scientific name of the teas plant is Camallia Sinesis. Both the green tea and the black tea are made from the leaves of this plant. Green tea is made before the tea leaves begin to wild after harvesting. Black tea is produces when the tea leaves are wilted. Unlike green tea black tea is made from the leaves that have been fermented. Fermentation of the tea leaves reduces the level of many essential compounds; hence it reduces the medicinal quality of the tea. The medicinal affects of the green tea has been found beneficial in many occasions. It helps to prevent, cure and heal many diseases. In Indian and Chinese traditional treatments, green tea occupies a special place.
Many researchers around the world believe that the medicinal properties of the green tea are very beneficial to a cancer patient. The green teas can be uses as an antioxidant against the free radicals. It can be used as a fat burner against obesity. It is one of the best diuretic that helps to flush out the toxins in the body through urine. Green tea also possesses antibiotic properties that act against many infections. It also contains certain biological compounds that inhibit the growth of a cancerous tumour. It is also a good source of Vitamins that improve the body’s immunity. Beside this, green tea also helps to control the Central Nervous System, Cardio Vascular System, Hormone and Insulin level, Digestive System etc.
After a cancer related surgery, the patient should get special care. The post operative care of a cancer patient is also very important. The patient is always given tea at first, when it is allowed to have food orally. Green tea plats an important role in these cases. The antioxidant quality of the green tea acts against the free radicals released by the cancerous cells and keeps the other healthy cells from its effects. The diuretic property of the green tea helps to flush the toxins realized by the cancerous tumour and deposited in the body that may affects the healthy cells. The antibiotic qualities of the green tea acts against the infection caused by microorganisms after the surgery. The vitamins present in the green tea help to heal the wounds and reduce the bleeding. It compensates the loss of nutrients in the body and keeps the patient away from the risk of cancer in future.
In a patient receiving the Chemotherapy, the daily habit of green tea shows positive response. The chemotherapy drugs are very toxic that are given through veins or sometimes orally. It makes a patient weak sometimes. It may also lead to loss of essential nutrients in the patient’s body. Green tea neutralizes the affects of free radicals released by the cancers cells through its antioxidant property. This way it helps the chemotherapy drugs to shrink down a cancerous tumour to a much lower level. Through its diuretic property it flashes out the toxins released both by the cancerous tumour and chemotherapy drugs. It fulfills the body’s loss of nutrients. The Vitamins present in the green tea nourishes the immunity of the patient and helps to keep the patient treatment tolerant.
In a patient undergoing Radiation Therapy, green tea plays an important too. Just like in Surgery and Chemotherapy, green tea here too acts against the free radicals released by the cancerous tumour in the form of anti oxidant. In the form of diuretic it flashes out the toxins released by the tumour. It supports the treatment by inhibiting the growth of the tumour and spreading it to other cells or organs. Compensating the nutritional loss in the body, it keeps the patient healthy. The vitamins in the green tea improve the body’s immunity making the patient treatment tolerant. Regular habit of green tea also fulfills the loss of water in the patient’s body during the treatment.
Behind many cancers, the hormonal imbalance has been found as the key reason. Green tea helps to maintain the hormonal balance in the body, especially in women. Obesity is also a reason that may affects negatively in a cancer patient. The green tea has been proved as one of the good fat burner that may burn the unnecessary fats in the body. A cancer patient should follow a special diet plan to keep the body treatment tolerant and strong. During the cancer treatment, the patients losses the regular appetite and suffers from malnutrition. Green tea improves the digestives power in the patients along with the whole digestive system, increasing the appetite.
Many other abnormalities in the body may create disturbances during the treatment of a cancer patient. Mental stress and psychological disturbances lead to negative response of the treatment. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), High Sugar Level (Diabetes) etc. does not allow the treatment of a cancer patient. The medicinal qualities of the green tea improves the central nervous system, cardio vascular system, sugar level, blood supply etc. keeping the body’s abnormalities away and supporting the treatment of the cancer patient.
The exact reason of cancer is yet to be discovered but it can be treated and healed if detected in the early stages. A patient always develops the risk of cancer for the second time too, if it struck once. That is why proper prevention should be taken. In case of healthy people, a regular sip of green tea reduces the risk of cancer to a lower level. A cup of green tea twice a day, may always keep the cancer away.
