Story Of Major Manish Singh Shaurya Chakra Will Motivate You

In 2012, when Captain Manish Singh was left paralysed by a militant attack in Kashmir, little did the 26-year-old know that cutting-edge technology at a city hospital will put him back on his feet. Singh, who was posted in Jammu and Kashmir by the Indian army, was gravely hurt in a terrorist attack. A bullet, shot by a militant, severely injured his spinal cord, thus rendering him immobile. While undergoing treatment at a hospital in Srinagar, where he slipped into coma, the doctors concluded that Singh will never be able to walk again.

The distressed young army man was then shifted to a military hospital in Pune, where he was treated for three months while undergoing several surgeries. They were, however, of no avail.

It was around this time that a colleague at the hospital referred him to the Neurogen Brain and Spine Institute in Nerul. He was admitted to the hospital, in January 2013, where he was treated with Stem Cells Therapy (SCT), which is widely regarded as a pioneering treatment for curing neurological disorders.

Of the three types of stem cell therapy — adult stem cell, umbilical cord stem cell and embryonic stem cell — Singh was treated using adult stem cells therapy. “Adult stem cells therapy is considered the safest and yields better results. The therapy works best on children and younger patients. As Captain Singh is just 26 years old, he responded to the therapy quite well,” said Dr Alok Sharma, professor and head of Neurosurgery, Sion Hospital, and director of Neurogen Brain and Spine Institute, Nerul.

Post an extensive rehabilitation programme, Singh showed major signs of recovery. Now, in a month’s time, he will leave for Indore for a shooting training programme. “I am very happy, as I am back to being independent. I still aspire to serve my country. One must never lose hope in life,” said Singh.

Indian Army Beats CIA and FBI on Facebook Ranking. Leaving a host of foreign government organisations behind, including the CIA, FBI, NASA and even the Pakistani military, the Indian army has once again topped the popularity charts on social networking site Facebook.

For the second time in as many months, the Indian Army’s Facebook page has topped the People Talking About That (PTAT) ranking for Facebook pages.

“It is big for the army’s social media. Only two months ago, we had topped for the first time. It also proves that we have genuine likes registered for our page,” Army sources said.

PTAT ranking is based on the analysis of the number of people talking about or on a particular page.

And it is not just the Facebook page that is doing well. The official website of the Indian Army gets as many as 25 lakh hits every week.

The army first entered Facebook on June 1, 2013 and has since then garnered 2.9 million likes.

Interestingly, on Facebook, both India and Pakistan are at war, having blocked each other’s accounts through Geo location.

This means that a person from Pakistan cannot access Indian army’s Facebook page and vice versa.

The twitter handle of the Indian army has 447 thousand followers, sources said, adding “social media is an important element of army’s outreach programme.”

Inspiration From The Marshal Of The Indian Air Force, Arjan Singh

Hello Warriors! In recent news we saw the heart touching tribute of Air Chief Marshal Arjan Singh to Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. This gesture of the 96-year old was very warming and in the true traditions of the Indian military, that it doesn’t stopped an old retired air warrior to do his honours.

But how many of us do really know much about his inspiring story-from boots, belts and berets to the Marshal of the Indian Air Force?

Air Chief Marshal Arjan Singh, who was Chief of Air Staff of the Indian Air Force from 1964 to 1969, is the epitome of a military leader and it is in the great fitness of things, and truly a grand morale booster to the officers and men of the Indian Air Force that he was honoured with the rank of Marshal of the Indian Air Force, on the Republic Day of 2002.

He is the only Indian air warrior to be elevated to the rank of the Air Chief Marshal, considering his distinguished service-both in the military and in politics. Which makes him unique, as there is no immidiate successor to his rank in the Indian Air Force.

Promoted to Squadron Leader in 1944, Arjan Singh led the squadron against the Japanese during the Arakan Campaign. flying close support during the crucial Imphal Campaign and later assisting the advance of the allied forces to Rangoon, Burma. For his role in successfully leading the squadron in combat, Arjan Singh received the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) in 1944. He was given command of the IAF Display flight flying Hawker Hurricanes after the war which toured India giving demonstrations. On 15 August 1947, he had the unique honour of leading the fly-past of over a hundred IAF aircraft over Delhi, over the red fort.

In recognition of his leadership and gallantry in the air, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) on the spot, the first Indian pilot to be so honoured by the Supreme Allied Commander, South East Asia. The citation read:

Squndron Leader Arja11 Singh is a fearless and exceptional Pilot, with a profound knowledge of his specialised branch of tactical reconnaissance and he has imbued those under him with the same spirit. The success of No. 1 Squadron Indian Air Force reflects the greatest credit on him.

When India became a Republic in 1950, Arjan Singh was commanding the Operational Group, then responsible for all air operations from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari. Arjan Singh held the Command of this Group, the only fighting arm of the IAF, till December 1952 and again from December 1955 to April 1959, initially in the rank of Air Commodore and then in the rank of Air Vice Marshal for over 6 years, longer than any other officer of the IAF.

Arjan Singh, who on 1 August 1964 had become Chief of Air Staff in the rank of Air Marshal at the young age of 45, was the first officer of the Indian Air Force to don the tapes of Air Chief Marshal, on January 15th 1966.

For his meritorious services in the conduct of the 1965 Indo-Pak War, Arjan Singh was honoured with the Padma Vibhushan.

Arjan Singh has flown no less than 65 different types of aircraft and continued his passion for flying till the last day of retirement. Arjan Singh’s zest for flying percolated right down the line, which enthused the flyers for combat flying training and who then gave ample proof of their readiness in the 1965 war.

In 1967, Arjan Singh had the unique honour of being invited to take the salute at the passing out parade of the Royal Air Force Flying College, Cranwell, where he had first learnt flying 28 years earlier, and presented the ‘Sword of Honour’ to the best Cadet.

Measured by any standard, Arjan Singh has had some fine innings. Even after retirement he continued to serve the country. In 1971, he was accredited as India’s Ambassador to Switzerland. From there, in 1974 he went to Kenya, as the Indian High Commissioner, and returned to India in 1976, after having had a six year long ambassadorial stint, longer than any other officer from the Armed Forces. Some years on, he became the Lt. Governor ot Delhi.

A Padma Vibhushan awardee, the rank of the then CAS, Arjan Singh, was upgraded to that of Air Chief Marshal and Arjan Singh became the first Air Chief Marshal of the Indian Air Force. He retired in August 1969, thereupon accepting ambassadorship to Switzerland. He remained a flyer to the end of his tenure in the IAF, visiting forward squadrons & units and flying with them. Arjan Singh was a source of inspiration to a generation of Indians and Officers.

Hope this story of an Air Warrior from a Flight Cadet to the Marshal of the world’s fourth largest Air Force within merely 31 years and after surviving several wars inspires the best in you and doesn’t let you stop from working towards your goals. Who knows, you could become the next Air Chief Marshal in the making with sheer determination and courage!

All About Cloud Seeding: Agriculture to a Next Level

All-About-Cloud-Seeding-Agriculture-to-a-Next-Level

India is an agrarian economy with most of the population engaged in agricultural activities. As the conditions are getting adverse with the emerging environment, related problems to it and government’s false promises of compensating them, the suicide rate has increased. Science has used various technologies to support farmers; here is a new technique to help them to irrigate their fields by precipitation. Cloud Seeding is a new thing that came into news some days ago, for helping Maharashtra farmers by using it to ignite rain fall.
What This Term Means?

Well, the actual meaning of the term resides in the term itself. Cloud seeding is the process of producing clouds artificially. The process is done by introducing or spreading dust particles or cooling agents in the sky over the area where rain is required, which will ultimately lead to the formation of clouds. The basic theory behind this technique is that when sun rays warms up the atmospheric air of earth, the temperature of the air decreases resulting in its upward movement along with the moisture. The moisture and war air gets cooled down as they move upward. Spreading up of dust particles in them will lead to the formation of ice crystals with the help of moisture and dust particles. These clouds can’t move further resulting in precipitation or rain. The introduction of these particles of cooling agents is done by either using aircraft or by high pressure canisters which sends them to the clouds.

Advantages of Cloud Seeding

This technique is used to produce the clouds and bring rain to the draught prone areas for better rain and boosting crop yield.
It is also used to reduce the size of hailstones where hail stones precipitate in large size
It is also used on some airports to reduce fog which has always been a cause of mishaps on airports
This technique is used to clear the air in the fields during matches or concerts.

Why Recently in News?

In a step forwarded by Maharashtra government, the officials were sent to the draught suffering area to conduct the cloud seeding experiment in order to produce artificial rain to provide relief to the people. The experiment is reported to be conducted on 9 August, but the officials may start it earlier. The requirement of this technique was felt after the study revealed that the ground water level has gone much deep since 2010 making a situation of acute water scarcity consecutively on second year. About 1/3 of the total talukas in Maharashtra have got 50% of the average rain this year. The water level of major dams is also going low. India is a nation where most of the people are engaged in agricultural activities and water scarcity will not only destroy their crops but also their moral for further cultivation. The state is always stays in news for the farmer suicide and it makes the agriculture very hard.

Conclusion

Supporting agriculture should be the first priority of government as the farmers are the base of India. The farmers deserve salute for continuing farming even after several crop failures. If this experiment goes successful then it will be a master stroke for retaining agriculture in draught effected areas of India.

Education and Skill on Tough Routes

Education these days has been no more than getting a certificate to show in your academic achievements. But as the current scenario is changing, the most respected and the dream institute of lakhs of aspirants of IITs and NITs has been in news for some bad news. While on the other hand, skill development initiative by Indian government with a vision to make India fully reliant has been hit among people and especially women segment which really need emphasize from government.
Recently, Indian government released a shocking data, that shows about 4400 students of IITs and NITs were dropped out in last three years. About 2000 were dropped out from IITs in last two sessions and 2,300 were dropped out from NITs in last three years. Various reasons were described behind the dropping out, like getting job during PG courses, personal and medical reasons, shifting to other college, academic stress etc.

Some institutes like IITs in Mandi, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Madras and Ropar showed now dropping out in last session. While IIT Roorkee showed highest rate of dropping followed by IIT kharagpur and IIT Delhi

Although government has said that it is emphasizing on reducing the count and specially overcome the academic stress in the students.

Big institutes are taking hiccups in there working, but some other areas have shown much satisfactory outcomes.

Recently Lok Sabha was informed that more than 25 lakh children with special needs are enrolled in schools and some 2 lakhs with profound special needs are taken under home based education system. The data came after the implementation of Deen Dayal rehabilitation scheme under which about 4-5 special schools were being run by NGOs where 52 thousand children have been enrolled during last session.

SKIS (skill development initiative scheme) got positive response from India as about 12.6 lakh women have availed for skill development training through 10,000 training centers. According to the skill development and entrepreneurship minister nearly 1.41 lakhs women are trained every year. Similar participation of women was observed in Pradhan Mantri Kausahal Vikas Yojna, which was also started for skill development. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushal Yojana which was released by ministry of rural development has a preserved 33% coverage for women in each skill development program. This program has a vision of skilling 3.4 lakh women during this 12th five- year plan.
Education system in India is going through some ups and down. As the competition in this field is going through such a way that competitive exam’s and job’s aspirants are ready to even illegal shortcuts resulting in various scams like Vyapam, teacher’s recruitment and nurse recruitment scam etc. as the academic stress and burden of studies with a sprint for marks has been in fashion, students has suffered a lot. In alternate path to achieve the economic goals, skill development has been seen as a supportive approach in nation’s development. Government policies and schemes seems to be a better option to pace up the development and boosting the youth’s moral in this era entirely dependent on competition.

Major Things Banned In India

The Indian government, led by the BJP has given shocks to people and firms by imposing bans in various areas. The ban was somewhere appreciated, but some raised controversies. Well, the issues were important for people’s benefit and the nation’s working. Here are some of the things that were banned after court’s orders on the grounds of having some unauthorized material or for saving something.
Maggie

FSSAI (Food Safety and Standard Authority of India), was in the news headlines along with nestle for its product Maggi noodles, which was banned in India after the test conducted on it was reported positive to have lead and MSG beyond normal limits. The company faced a huge loss in 12 years and led a big controversy with social media flooded with trolls and comments on the action. But recently FSSCI has reopened the gates for Maggi after testing it in its lab.

Famous NGOs

Some foreign NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization) also faced a ban from the Indian government. Green Peace, an NGO, whose license was suspended after finding discrepancies in accounts. Priya Pillai, one of the activists was also barred from travelling abroad in the case. But later, Green peace won the case and was allowed to go abroad. Later, Delhi high court allowed green peace to handle its saving accounts and given a temporary permission to access the donation made by Indian donors.

Books

The Hindus: An Alternative History, by American scholar Wendy Doniger, was taken out of the market by her publisher after orders passed by the Delhi high court alleging that few parts of the book contain some factual errors of Indian history and misrepresented Hindu mythology. The final settlement made by the petitioner and publisher was a six month period for penguin to destroy all copies of the book.

Beef

The culture of India and the place given to animals, especially cows were bolstered by banning beef in India. The Maharashtra government banned slaughter of bulls and bullocks in the starting of this year with the introduction of the bill named Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) bill after 19 years. A provision of 5 years of jail or Rs. 10,000 fine will be imposed on anybody found having beef. The decision divided the Indian population in two segments, in favor majority and minority was with ‘against’ thinking. But the matter later on got cold.

Most recent: Porns

With the ban on pornography site in India, it has become the recent point which led huge uproar. The step of banning porn sites was responded by the youth of the nation. Recently ISP (Internet Service Providers) urged the government to lift the ban from the porn sites. The reason given for the ban was that these kinds of material are the cause of crime against women. Several celebrities also responded on this issue on social networking sites.
The steps taken by the government, in all the arenas were for good cause. But the response of people is crucial for the continuation of the orders. The current government is facing various other issues like Vyapam scam, OROP implementation, etc. and these orders also make some points for the government. Making prosperity and establishing a healthy nation should be the first priority of the government.

8 Pictures of PARA Special Force Will Make You Salute Them. In 1984 the Para (SF) were involved in Operation Blue Star. They were charged to lead an attack on the Holy Site of Sikh religion the Golden Temple for eviction of Sikh militants in Punjab. 8 members of 1 Para (SF) were given the task of assaulting two areas of the temple, of which one area required divers. However, there were a number of setbacks as a result of inaccurate intelligence on the strength of the militants who were trained by Gen. Shabeg Singh (ex-para sf) himself, operating low light, the conventional manner of the raid and the lack of incentive; all of which resulted in a mission failure. The diver mission was aborted after the first team got bogged down. The commandos achieved their aims after a long gunfight with militants that lasted hours.

Snipers play an important role in infantry battalion. They give the commander accurate, discriminatory, long-range small-arms fire. The best use of sniper fire is against key targets that other available weapon systems may be unable to destroy due to their range, size, or location; visibility; security and stealth requirements; avoidance of collateral damage; intensity of conflict; or rules of engagement. The techniques snipers use enable them to gather detailed, critical information about the enemy as a secondary role. The effectiveness of a sniper is not measured simply by the number of casualties or destroyed targets; sniper effectiveness also includes the effect the presence of snipers has on enemy activities, morale, and decisions. The presence of snipers hinders the enemy’s movement, creates confusion and personal fear, disrupts enemy operations and preparations, and compels the enemy to divert forces to deal with the snipers.

Indian Army Sniper

Indian army sniper is mainly to pick off Enemy Sniper or MG post or Enemy Santri at longer ranges they also provide fire support when needed from longer ranges, Also their targets are usually the leaders / Leading Officer JCO etc, Once the leader is dead there is always confusion in troops which slow their reaction time. In a Squad, the role of a Marksman, not Sniper is to provide fire at longer ranges.
