National Animal of India

The magnificent Tiger Panthera tigris (linnaeus), the National Animal of India is a rich-colored well-striped animal with a short coat. The combination of grace, strength and power has earned the tiger great respect and high esteem. Indian tigers are famous all over the world and one of the main attractions for the lovers of wild life. They are the crowning glory and the light of the Indian wild life.

The natives of the forest worship the tiger as the deity that gives them honey and wax. Tigers are fast runners, excellent swimmers and their eyesight is strong.

To check the dwindling population of tigers in India, which came down to just 1,827 in 1972, massive conservation program was initiated in April 1973, known as the 'Project Tiger'. This project aims to maintain a viable population of tigers in India for scientific, economic, aesthetic, cultural and ecological values. Since then, the tiger population has shown a gradual increase and the census of 1989 puts the tiger population of the country at 4,334. So far, 19 tiger reserves have been established in the country under this project, covering over 29, 716 sq. km. forest area.

Request to Soniaji

Most respected Soniaji,

The unpredictability and irreversibility of Genetic Engineering (GE) and the uncontrollability of GE crops in the environment coupled with studies pointing at the potential risk to human health and environment has resulted in a controversy across the world around, about the need for introducing such potentially risky organisms.

The nationwide debate on Bt Brinjal highlighted the concerns of all sections of the society including scientist on GM (Genetically Modified) food in general and Bt Brinjal in particular. This also saw 10 state governments writing to the central government about the concerns they have with Bt Brinjal. All this, at that time had lead to a moratorium on Bt Brinjal declared by the Union Environment Minister Mr. Jairam Ramesh.

Instead of heeding the citizens concerns and establishing a strong regulatory mechanism with the mandate of protecting the health of the citizens, livelihood of our farmers and safety of our environment our Government is going ahead with the establishment-Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) which will act as a single window clearance mechanism for GM crops, in effect paving the way for the re-approval of Bt Brinjal.

Here are some of the problems with this bill:
The approval of GM crops would be based on a presumption that GM crops are a potential solution to all agricultural problems and that the country’s food security crisis can be resolved by introducing GM crops. On the contrary, many scientists agree to fact that real solutions for today’s agricultural problems are in ecological farming methods.

The approvals also presume that safety of a GM crop can be best assessed by the company which stands to benefit from the approval.

The bill proposes a centralized, technocratic decision making authority with no scope for democratic intervention. The apex authority is the BRAI with a chairperson and two members, all scientists with either a biotech or a health background.

BRAI gives no role to state governments in the approval of GM crops even though agriculture is a state subject under the Indian constitution.

BRAI sits inside the Ministry of Science and technology creating serious conflict of interest. Dept of Biotechnology under the Ministry of Science & Technology has the mandate of promotion of GE crops. DBT (Dept of Biotechnology) funds several GE crop development projects using public funds and is the nodal agency for redirecting funds from foreign governments to GE crop development projects.

Sections of the bill supercede the Right to Information Act and place the decision to disclose information for public interest with the authority instead of the Central Information Commission or the Delhi high court. The BRAI would kill any informed public debate on GE crops in future, one of the aspects that helped in stopping Bt Brinjal.

BRAI kills consumer choice and promotes GE polluters as it has no provision for labeling of GE crops or liability of the crop developer due to economic losses by contamination.

There is a need to re-draft the bill, first with an effort to disclose the draft bill and hold public consultations and take in suggestions and issues that are concerning all citizens of our country.
With the Government failing us by giving an approval for the BRAI bill, our hope lies with the National Advisory Council under your chairpersonship. The fact that the council pro-actively and effectively intervened in the drafting of two important legislations, the Food Security bill and the Communal Violence bill and is doing so with many others, gives us confidence that you will heed the concerns of us citizens and would stop the bill from being tabled in the Parliament in its present form.

The agri-biotech policy of this country is in need for a critical review and we hope the NAC can provide millions of farmers who practice ecological farming a chance to rejuvenate the country’s food production and re-establish its food security.

Being the leader of Indian National Congress and chairperson of the National Advisory Council (NAC) you may please be interfered by giving instructions for re-drafting the bill and saving lives of the entire citizens.

Sincerely,

President : Suresh Kariyad

Jnanpith Award again for Malayalam

Who sang ‘being a human being was much greater than being anything else even a poet'

Malayalam litterateur and poet ONV Kurup has been chosen for the 2007 Jnanapith award, the country's highest literary honour for his contribution to literature.

The award is announced in Delhi on Friday (24-Sep-2010) after a meeting of the Jnanpith Selection Board chaired by Oriya writer and Jnanpith award winner Sri. Sitakant Mahapatra.

ONV Kurup began his career as a progressive writer and matured into a humanist though he never gave up his commitment to socialist ideology. ONV is the second poet to bag the coveted award from Kerala. In 1995 G Sankara Kurup was honoured with Jnanpith. Though SK Pottekkad, Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai and MT Vasudevan Nair had been honoured with the award, they were all writers of prose.

INCAS Kannur Dist Chapter, take pleasure to congratulate our beloved ONV of Malayalam on this achievement.
