EFFECT OF EDUCATIONAL NORMS
Village awaits prospective sarpanches to turn 21
Residents of Patti Kirpal village in the district are up against an interesting situation in these panchayat elections.
Unable to elect their sarpanch as none qualified the educational norms set in the panchayat elections; the villagers are now waiting for two “potential sarpanches” to attain the age of 21 in February this year.
Watch Video:
The post of saranch of Patti Kirpal with a population of nearly 700 people and having 410 voters is reserved for Dalit woman, who has to be 8th pass.
When the elections were held in the village on January 10, five out of six panches were elected unopposed, but no nomination was filed for the post of sarpanch as none was eligible.
“A Dalit youth had recently married a girl with the condition that the bride should be 8th pass. But when the turn of filing nominations came, the family was told that she is merely 7th standard pass,” said a villager.
All eyes are now set on two cousin sisters Reena, daughter of Jeet Singh, who will be 21 on February 15, and Kulwinder Kaur, daughter of Banta Singh, who turns 21 on February 28.
Both the girls are 8th pass, but they could not file the nomination papers because they were underage.
“There is no issue between the two girls as both are from our family. We will sit together and decide whom to elect when the time comes,” said Banta Singh.
Balwinder Singh, another villager, said, “The residents are also worried that since both these girls are of marriageable age, they will not remain in the village after their marriage.” For this, villagers are also pinning their hopes on three Dalit youths of marriageable age from the village.
“If any of them can bring bride who is educated up to 8th standard, it will be even better,” Balwinder added.
Gurjeet Singh Mann, a progressive farmer from Patti Kirpal, said the village had one of the oldest schools of the area set up in 1954, but it was still up to 5th standard only.
Mamata Dhankar, a teacher in the village primary school, said: “Those who want to continue their study after 5th standard have to go to Maujkhera, which is three kilometers away.”
Chief parliamentary secretary Haryana Govt. S. Bakshish Singh Virk on his visit to village Patti Kirpal on 21st January said that this and other such primary schools in Haryana will be upgraded if they met the required norms for upgradation, the educational norms clamped on PRI elections are showing positive effects, as this time number of educated youth and females have increased. Inclusion of educated youth will also help in combating corruption in Panchayats. Mr Virk had come to address a public meeting at the residence of Ex Sarpanch S Barjinder Singh Mann, where he felicitated a number of newly elected Sarpanches and members of panchayats from different villages in phase I and II.

Civil Hospital Sirsa Blotted by resident doctors

Civil Hospital Sirsa Blotted by resident doctors.

Pictures and Videos: Amar Singh Jyani, GS Mann (related Video Soon)
As the year 2015 draws to an end, 5 resident doctors of Civil Hospital Sirsa brought shame to the noble medical profession.
Five doctors have been suspended for allegedly consuming liquor in the Trauma Centre of the General Hospital here.
Sirsa Civil Surgeon Dr Suraj Bhan Kamboj confirmed Additional Chief Secretary (Health) PK Mahapatra today suspended Dr Vipul Gupta, Resident Medical Officer (RMO), Dr Viney Singla, Dr Bharat Bhushan, Dr Bharat Saharan and Dr Rahul Meghani.
The action was taken on the recommendation of Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Paramjit Singh Chahal, who, on the direction of Deputy Commissioner Sharandeep Kaur Brar, visited the hospital on Tuesday night to inquire into the going-on in the hospital. The SDM later submitted a report to higher authorities.
According to the report, the doctors gathered in the RMO’s room on Tuesday evening and started consuming liquor.
A patient’s relative got an inkling of the goings-on in the RMO’s room and he called the police as well as reporters of local TV channels.
The erring doctors denied having consumed liquor and said they were eating food in the room. Two policemen, who went to the hospital, said tests by breath analysers proved the doctors had not consumed alcohol.
The patient’s relative, however, accused the police of being hand in glove with the erring doctors, so he and the reporters apprised the DC of the matter.
They alleged the policemen had sprayed a room freshener provided to them by the doctors in the RMO’s room in their presence and disposed of certain incriminating articles from the room.
The SDM said the doctors refused to give their blood samples.

Sushil Manav to participate in UNICEF workshop

Sushil Manav to participate in UNICEF workshop
SIRSA NEWS

Pictures and Videos: Amar Singh Jyani, GS Mann
Eminent senior journalist Sushil Manav will be attending an important media workshop of UNICEF to be held in Delhi NCR on 23rd and 24th December 2015.
The Media Workshop on 23rd will be concurrent to campaign launch for Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation Programme (WIFS) by UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra & Sh JP Nadha Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare.
Another important workshop for media will be held on 24th where apart from WIFS, the topic “Rotavirus vaccine and Routine Immunisation” will be discussed in great detail. This important vaccine will also be included in the India's national immunization programme.
Sushil Manav is senior staff correspondent of 'The Tribune' from Fatehabad and Sirsa districts since last several years but he has been assigned several times to report sensitive and important news of areas beyond these two districts.
Mr Manav is the only media person chosen from this region to participate in this important UNICEF workshop, he being a life science graduate with additional education in the fields of Pharmaceuticals, English, Law, Journalism & Mass Communication. He has sound knowledge and understanding of these fields. During previous launch of WIFS which was suspended due to various controversies, Manav had extensively reported the WIFS, and supplemented each story with correct scientific information. Mr Manav is known for his indepth research into every story especially pertaining to the fields of medicine, agriculture, science and law.

Importance of WIFS: India has the largest number of adolescents aged 10-19 years in the world - 253 million out of 1.2 billion. This age group referred as adolescents - comprise one-fifth of India’s population and are key drivers of India’s future economic growth. However, 56 per cent of girls and 30 per cent of boys in the age group of 15-19 years in India suffer from anaemia (NFHS-3). This means that 1 out of 2 young girls and 1 out of 3 young boys are anaemic.  Adolescent marriage and pregnancy is highly prevalent in India, particularly in rural areas. Anaemia has an intergenerational impact on the cycle of poverty. Anaemia during pregnancy increases the risk or mortality and illness for the mother as well as the new born. Children born to anaemic mothers often have low reserves of iron which if remains unchecked have further implications on their growth and development. In response to the problem, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India launched Weekly Iron & Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) Programme in 2012 with the aim to reduce the prevalence and severity of nutritional anaemia in adolescent population (10-19 years). The target for WIFS is adolescent girls and boys in government/ government aided/ municipal schools, between classes 6 to 12 and out of school adolescent girls.

Inclusion of media workshop this time by UNICEF is a prudent step to disseminate correct information to the masses effectively.
