A study bt Assocham has concluded that about 5 millions jobs have been lost  in India during the five years from 2004-05 to 2009-10. The young and educated  are the new jobseekers and ” they gave to be productively engaged to avoid socio-economic conflicts” Assocham stated.
It added that job seekers increased by 2.23 per cent while jobs increased only 1.4 per cen.
The government which claims that more jobs have been created, should rethink and plan for more jobs to engage the huge unemployed.

Telcos want towers in defence lands

24 Monday Aug 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Both the GSM and CDMA service providers have demanded that permission be granted to erect telecom towers in defence land so as to improve connectivity. The Modi government has already allowed telcos to set up towers on govt. lands and buildings, including hospitals, to improve mobile coverage.

The question that is to be considered is not only mobility but also the danger of the private companies including multi- nationals getting free entry in to defence areas, which are highly protected areas due to national security.

A new party in Greece by rebels of Syriza Party

21 Friday Aug 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Athens, Aug 21: At least 25 rebels from Greece’s hard-left Syriza party said today they would form a new parliamentary group a day after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned and triggered snap elections.

The party, which rode to power in January by vowing to end austerity measures, was deeply divided over Greece’s acceptance of a third international bailout package.

The revolt within his own party prompted Tsipras to announce his resignation late on Thursday, unleashing early elections which are likely to take place on September 20, state news agency ANA said, citing government sources.

The new party, called Popular Unity, will be led by former energy minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, 63, according to the news website left.gr.

Lafazanis, removed from his post in a cabinet reshuffle last month, is an implacable foe of the agreement reached between Athens and the European Union for a 86-billion-euro (USD 96-billion) bailout package, the first tranche of which was released yesterday.

Homage to Com.P.Krishna Pillai on his 67th Death Anniversary

Comrade P.Krishna Pillai

67th Death Anniversary of Com. P.Krishna Pillai  on 19th August 19, 2015

krishnapillai_ph

It was on 19th August 1948, that  Comrade P.Krishna Pillai, the Revolutionary Communist leader, passed  away after   a poisonous snake bite, while in underground.  Though India got independence on15th August 1947 and the political prisoners who fought for freedom for the country were released, many communists were still  in jail. A witch hunt against the Communists was going on by  Congress government, the new rulers.  Com.P.Krishna Pillai, as the foremost leader of the Communist Party in Kerala, was leading the struggle from underground. All the plans of the police to arrest him were in vain. He shifted from one shelter to another shelter with the help of committed workers and Communists.

While he was in a shelter, a small hut, in Mohamma, Alleppey, and he preparing some documents for the party, a very poisonous snake bit him. He was aware that he will not live long. Before collapsing, he wrote as the last words, “ Comrades, Forward”  and passed away. He was only 42.

Com.P.Krishna Pillai was known as “Comrade”.  That one word is sufficient to bring the memory of the great leader who built up the party in Kerala.

On his 67th Death Anniversary, we pledge to continue the struggle for the emancipation of the toiling masses.

Will the PM announce OROP on Independence Day?

11 Tuesday Aug 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

The moot question now is whether PM Narendra Modi will announce the ‘One Rank One Pension’ on the Independence Day?
The retired Defence personnel have been demanding  this for the last many years. The Satyagraha by them at Delhi will complete 60 days by this Independence Day.
Govt. had given assurances many times, but not honoured so far. It is a great injustice to the sentinels of the nation.
Mr.PM, announce ‘OROP’ on ID! Do not continue the injustice!

Nagasaki remembered

bd7bcf7f1e6f742e7193b1e71d96a690The memorial at Nagasaki

70th anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan, by the USA, was observed there on 9th August, the day it was bombed causing more than 74,000 death, with thousands of people participating. The people, as usual, took the pledge to keep peace and not to take any steps for any military adventure or armament.

At the same time, the Government was criticised  for its move to change the peace policy it continued for the last 70 years and preparing some kind of defence strategy.
