BJP MLA Chetan Kashyap, one of the richest lawmakers in Madhya Pradesh, doesn’t draw salary and allowances but instead has been doling out goodies for his people following the principal of service and generosity.

Kashyap, in fact, has urged the state government to spend the amount allotted for his salary on development works.

He says he is capable of bearing his expenses as MLA and hence has said no for this government ‘grant’ of salary/ allowances etc to him

Kashyap, an MLA for a second term from Ratlam, has even decided not to draw any kind of pension entitled to an MLA from the state exchequer like his previous term.

The man with a mission, in fact, is uplifting the socio-economic standards of have-nots by giving them home, job and education in Ahimsa Gram which is a one-of-its-kind free housing project, specially built with 100 houses which have been allotted to BPL (Below Poverty Line) families.

The fully functional model village has roads, water tank, drainage, sanitation and market facilities.

Spread across 55,000 square feet with 100 houses, each having 2 rooms, kitchen, a 5-feet open veranda, bath and WC. It also has 1500 sq. ft. community hall for vocational training and value education.

This one of its kind institute fulfils 17 interlinked global goals which promise no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, innovation and infrastructure, reducing inequality, sustainable cities and communities, reducing inequality, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace, justice and strong institutions and partnerships for the goals.

While offering basic facilities such asshelter, livelihood, education, healthcare, value and culture, he has helped thousands of families to stand on their own, raising their socio-economic standards.

These families have left Ahimsa Gram now as they have their own sweet home, job and vehicle, all due to the positive initiatives taken by Kashyap.

The man with vision recently installed oxygen concentrator worth Rs 1.5 crore in government medical college to help fight the COVID battle.

Time for other lawmakers to get some inspiration…

The Indian Army has set plans to lease Israel’s Heron TP drones which will be deployed along the LAC to keep a watch on the Chinese troops and their activities.

The Indian Army has plans to lease around four drones over the next few months.

The decision has been taken in view of the ongoing standoff between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

The Army will get two drones by August and will be deployed along the eastern Ladakh region, confirmed officials.

Heron TP Drone

Heron TP can fly for almost 45 hours at an altitude of 35,000 feet. By deploying them along the LAC, they will be a constant eye in the sky keeping a watch on the enemy.

These drones have automatic cab-takeoff and landing (ATOL) technology, and also satellite systems. They are equipped with ultra-long range surveillance cameras

Jaivana cannon has been never fired after the test-firing ever again and sits under a canopy at the Jaigarh ramparts for tourists to marvel at.

Jaivana, a largest canon of its time’ being housed at the Jaigarh Fort is world’s most efficient cannon.

As per historical stories, this canon was test-fired only once and there were no such circumstances to utilise its might thereafter.

If folklores are to be believed, the shot ball used during test firing of canon had a fall in Chaksu village and the impact created a depression and made a pond which is still in use by the villagers.

Although the cannon ball’s range cannot be accurately determined now, but the magnificent canon with a barrel decorated with peacock and elephant motifs is in fact a gigantic one which could be swivelled with the force of four elephants.

Further, the boom noise, as the myth goes, caused a few women to have a miscarriage. It is said that the heat generated during the test firing was of such intensity that the soldiers handing the gunpowder had to take shelter in water tanks which was stored near the canon to prevent skin burn.

The canon was never fired after the test-firing ever again. It sits under a canopy at the Jaigarh ramparts for tourists to marvel at. Its presence is the proof of metallurgical and scientific knowledge that existed in the country in 18th century. And that is a reason enough to feel proud about.

The sport star, a resident of Chokha village in Jodhpur in Rajasthan, lost his right hand in an accident in 1998 when he was a class VI student during a bus accident. However, he relied on his left hand and started writing his success story with it.

He tried swimming and made a mark for himself by training himself to emerge as an ace swimmer.

After seven years of hard work, he emerged as winner in the state para championship held in Jodhpur.

He won a gold medal in the 100 meter backstroke and silver medal in the 50 metre freestyle tournament. However, Pintu lost his other hand in 2019 while cleaning a swimming pool.

His hand had to be cut off as it was damaged so badly.

His father Omprakash Gehlot also lost one hand in this accident.

But Pintu did not get discouraged and continued with swimming.

He is presently connected with the Rajasthan Para swimming team as a coach and is training many young talents.

He has started a swimming centre where he is training physically challenged people free of cost.

Many of his students have also earned laurels and have won over 100 medals in different tournaments.

Pintu says that his ultimate aim is to participate in the Para Olympics and make a mark there. “I am trying to perform the best in the world class tournament,” he says.

He won a bronze medal in the Para National Swimming Championship held in Bengaluru in March this year and is now busy making efforts to gather around Rs 12 lakh for his training in India and abroad for the Asian Championship.

Cheetahs, finally, to inhabitate the Kuno Palpur sanctuary in MP

Wild Cheetahs finally will be living in Kuno Palpur Sanctuary in India’s Madhya Pradesh. All those who matter in India have finally agreed to the plan.

Wild cheetah’s eight specimen (5 males and 3 females) are expected to land there by forthcoming Deepawali festival in November 2021. MP forest officials are cock-a-hoop.

Vincent Van Der Merme from Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa consented for Kuno to be the most ideal habitat. The Trust is poised to give the predators as a “free gift” to India. It was Chhattisgarh, then part of Madhya Pradesh, where the last Cheetah was spotted in late 40s. The species was declared “extinct” in India mid 50s.

All efforts to allow cheetahs relive in India’s wild

Dr. Ranjtsinhji, prince of Wankaner and an incredible wildlife expert, has been running an endless campaign to let Cheetahs relive in India’s wild. From government offices to Supreme Court, he knocked at each door to let decision makers listen to his reason. Some persons tried to oppose the move but smelt dust. Supreme Court authorized him last year to go ahead. Wildlife Institute of India’s Dean, Yadvendra Y. Jhala is the key scientist who led the team to assess various habitats to select one.

The extinct species in India ought to be introduced!

The plea was simple: an extinct species in India ought to be introduced! About 750 sq. km area of Kuno was at one time teeming with Tigers which became extinct a few decades ago. Leopards roam as lone predators ever since. It was cited as ideal forest to introduce Gir Lions. The Supreme Court supported the plea. However, Gujarat’s politico-administrative adamancy did not permit Lions. Ranthambhore Tigers often frequent Kuno, the extra population making its way out.

New guest to be accommodated warm welcome

Rs 14-crore are being disbursed by Ministry of Environment & Forest to MP Forest Department and Wildlife Institute of India to ready the habitat. It is to be barbed-wire-fenced to not let the new guest predator ram into village livestock and cause alarms at the very start. It is the fastest runner mammal on earth. Tourism practioners in Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, about 140 km from Kuno, have started calculating how to encash Kuno’s Cheetah through jeep safaris. In between flows the Chambal river offering Marsh crocodile, Gavial, Tortoise, Gangetic Dolphin, birds, etc., with the rare Indian Skimmer breeding on its islands.

Will Ranthambhore-Chambal-Kuno belt become a new wilderness hotspot?

The Ranthambhore-Chambal-Kuno belt has reasons to become a wilderness hot-spot. Who will bell the cat: to script a positive tourism centric conservation idiom. Ranthambhore’s tourism revenue is estimated to be Rs 110-crore annually. Nearly 90% of it is pocketed by hoteliers. The authorities are advised to invite a meaningful conservationist like Bittu Sahgal, founder editor of Sanctuary Asia magazine, to pilot such a project. His initiatives, especially “Mud on Boots” are globally recognized achievements to support stake-holders.
