Last year, with support from CASP, Kanchan, along with three of her friends, formed a Bal Manch, or a children’s parliament in October 2001 in her slum area. " They meet every Sunday to discuss small issues related to themselves and their surroundings. They also try to find solutions to problems in their immediate community.

    A.N.JHA:-A.N. Jha was a scholar and the warden of Muir Hostel at Allahabad University, which was renamed for him once he passed away. He was also a great friend of the Bachchans, Harivansh and his vivacious wife, Teji. Some in Allahabad insisted that Dr. Jha was more than a friend though few would voice that thought in those genteel times. All except Firaq of course, or so the story goes.

    When the Bachchan`s first son, Amitabh, was born, the proud couple threw a party. When Firaq arrived at the party he is reported to have said to the new father, "I don`t know whether to congratulate you or Dr. Jha."

    No one knows if this is true or if this happened but it is part of Allahabad lore.

    Ajit Kumar Jha::Editor-Oman Tribune.

    Ajit Kumar Jha has been appointed editor of the Oman Tribune, the country's third English daily.The newspaper is staffed by a highly qualified editorial team drawn from around the world. Several well-known and highly regarded correspondents from around the world will also contribute to Oman Tribune, Al Taei said.Editor Jha, whose last assignment was at India Today as a senior editor, has been senior associate editor with The Indian Express in New Delhi. He was previously employed with The Times of India as their resident editor for the Patna edition and as a senior assistant editor for their editorial page in New Delhi.

    Raj Kamal Jha:

    Executive Editor-The Indian Express.

    Raj Kamal Jha was born in 1966 in Calcutta, India.  His father is a college professor in Calcutta.  After secondary school, Jha was accepted to the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, to pursue a degree in engineering.  One day, Jha observed a group of classmates passionately drawing diagrams, operating machinery, and performing experiments.  He then realized his interest in engineering did not equals theirs.  Jha began to question the path his life was taking.  He had always felt drawn to the art of writing, but did not feel secure enough in his abilities to completely abandon engineering (Rediff interview).

    Jha graduated from IIT with a degree in engineering, and decided to apply to journalism school.  The University of Southern California offered him a full scholarship to their journalism program.  He graduated from USC with a master's degree in 1990.  During school, Jha began to explore various forms of writing.  He wrote for college literary magazines, and after graduation, did internships at The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.  With his confidence growing, Jha came to realize that he did not care for reporting.  Writing up the interviews appealed to him much more than calling people and taking notes .

    Four years after graduating, Jha returned to India to take a job with The Statesman, an English daily newspaper based in Calcutta.  He also worked briefly for India Today, before accepting the job as deputy editor for Indian Express in 1996.  Based in New Delhi, Indian Express is one of India's most well known English newspapers.  Jha is now the executive editor.

    Jha's writing style has been called very sparse, especially in comparison to other Indian writers.  His writing is heavily influenced by the amount of time he spent in the United States, as well as by the works of twentieth-century American writers Don DeLillo and Paul Auster.  Another unique aspect of Jha's style is that he writes in English, unlike his Indian contemporaries.  After reading Salman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children, Jha began to see the English language as more than homework, and began using it as an aesthetic for his storytelling .

    My mother was a state award winner and she was my mentor."

    "I was born in 1969 in Jitwarpur, madhubani. My mother was my mentor. Under her supervision and guidance I have emerged as an artist capable of creating these paintings.

    "In this school of art we do not make preliminary sketches, nor is our work planned. We simply pick up our brushes and create. A vivid and creative imagination is essential in this style of art, for while motifs may be similar, no two paintings will ever be found to be the same."

    Mithila is a scholastic and cultural center in India that traces its lineage of arts from epic times. Mithila paintings – alternately called Madhubani paintings – are a folk tradition kept alive by women in northern Bihar. They depict events from epic, mythology and traditional designs on their floors and walls of their houses using crushed wet rice and natural colors. From this age old tradition stemmed the practice of drawing Mithila paintings on a canvas of hand-made paper or pure mulberry silk fabric using natural colors and fabric dyes. Brushes, sharpened reeds and pen nibs are used.

    Mr. Nitish Mishra-State Minister. Sugarcane

    Mr. Nitish Mishra is a postgraduate from the United Kindom and is a British Chevening Fellow. Nitish has his M.B.A. from the FORE School of Management in New Delhi and has 8 years of professional experience in the profit and non-profit sectors. Areas of expertise include global political economics, conceptualizing, designing, and developing socio-economic projects, and creating strategies for community development.

    Rekindling hope in India’s heart of darkness, Coimbatore-based sugar major Rajshree Sugars and Chemicals Ltd has chosen Bihar for its foray into the north to set up two integrated sugar complexes.

    The single-window State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) has already received Detailed Project Reports (DPR) from Rajshree in this regard. The company proposes to set up two integrated sugar complexes by investing a total of Rs 480 crore in two Bihar districts: Rs 242 crore for the East Champaran project and Rs 238 crore for the one in Madhubani.

    Early next week, the company will file a DPR for another project in Muzaffarpur district. Apart from the three new mills, Rajshree has also applied for revival of three state-owned mills, now shut, in Madhubani, Darbhanga and Muzaffarpur.

    Rajshree’s proposed mills will not only produce sugar but will help tide over part of the power crisis in the state. Each of its two sugar mills will have a minimum crushing capacity of 5,000 TCD (Tonnes Cane/Day) with co-generation units, producing 30 MW of power each. They will also have a distillery to produce ethanol.

    “It’s great news for Bihar. On May 2, the SIPB completed the first hearing on the two project reports and forwarded it to different departments for the feedback which has to come in 15 days,” said Cane Development Minister Nitish Mishra.

    If the departments do not raise any objections, then the project will be deemed to have been cleared. Rajshree is keen to start the projects at the earliest. On behalf of the company, Dr M Naidu (Advisor, Research and Development) has been camping in the state for the last two months. “We are very happy with the response from the government and more than hopeful about getting the clearance,” he said.

    In the DPR, Rajshree has urged the government to acquire and transfer the land within 90 days as it proposes to commence operations from December, 2008. “If there is delay in land acquisition, commissioning of the project will be shifted to the next season, depriving us of the incentives and subsidies... without which the project may not be very attractive,” the proposal underlines.

    Mishra is more than hopeful of early clearance. On incentives and subsidies, he even hinted at a future revision to make it more competitive. “We are even thinking on offering more incentives than UP, our nearest rival, to attract more companies,” Mishra told The Indian Express.

    He said the proposal to revive 15 state-owned closed sugar mills is also likely to take shape by this month-end. Already, a number of companies have shown interest in acquiring these mills.

    Of the 39 Expression of Interest from sugar companies wanting to set up new sugar mills, 13 have taken concrete steps forward. They have filed the Industrial Enterprise Memorandum (IEM) with the Centre’s Industries department. The IEM, in short, means the companies are really serious about projects in the state.
