भारत-इजरायल ने कृषि में सहयोग के लिए 3 साल के कार्यक्रम पर हस्ताक्षर किए
May 25, 2021

भारत और इज़रायल ने तीन साल के संयुक्त कार्य कार्यक्रम पर हस्ताक्षर किए हैं जो 2023 तक जारी रहेगा। कृषि में सहयोग बढ़ाने के उद्देश्य से इस संयुक्त कार्य कार्यक्रम शुरू किया गया था।

पृष्ठभूमि
भारत और इज़रायल ने इसी तरह के चार संयुक्त कार्य कार्यक्रमों को सफलतापूर्वक पूरा किया है।

नए कार्य कार्यक्रम के बारे में
नए कार्य कार्यक्रम के तहत, भारतीय किसानों को इजरायल के खेत और जल प्रौद्योगिकियों के बारे में जागरूक करने के लिए 13 उत्कृष्टता केंद्र (Centres of Excellence) स्थापित किए गए थे।
कृषि में एक मॉडल पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र जिसे विलेज ऑफ एक्सीलेंस (Villages of Excellence) कहा जाता है, को भी आठ राज्यों में 75 गांवों के भीतर बनाया जाएगा।
यह नया कार्यक्रम शुद्ध आय में वृद्धि को बढ़ावा देगा और व्यक्तिगत किसान की आजीविका को बढ़ाएगा।
यह IIAP मानकों के आधार पर पारंपरिक खेतों को आधुनिक-गहन खेतों में भी बदल देगा।
यह कृषि समुदाय को लाभ पहुंचाने के लिए द्विपक्षीय संबंधों और कृषि में दोनों देशों के बीच आपसी सहयोग को भी मजबूत करेगा।
भारत इज़रायल कृषि संबंध
भारत और इज़रायल ने 1993 में कृषि क्षेत्र में द्विपक्षीय संबंध शुरू किए थे। इसलिए, यह नया कार्यक्रम 5वीं भारत-इज़रायल कृषि कार्य योजना (Indo-Israel Agriculture Action Plan – IIAP) है।

भारत-इजरायल कृषि कार्य योजना का महत्व
ये कार्य योजनाएं किसानों की आय दोगुनी करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा रही हैं। इसने बागवानी की उत्पादकता और गुणवत्ता में सुधार किया है जिससे किसान की आय में वृद्धि हुई है।

उत्कृष्टता केंद्र (Centres of Excellence – CoE)
भारत के 12 राज्यों में 29 CoE कार्यरत हैं। वे लगभग 25 मिलियन सब्जियों के पौधे, लगभग 3,87,000 गुणवत्ता वाले फलों के पौधे पैदा करते हैं। उत्कृष्टता केंद्र लगभग 1.2 लाख किसानों को नवीनतम तकनीक के बारे में प्रशिक्षण भी प्रदान कर रहे हैं जिसका उपयोग बागवानी में किया जा सकता है

NMMS App और Area Officer Monitoring App को लॉन्च किया गया
May 24, 2021

ग्रामीण विकास मंत्री नरेंद्र सिंह तोमर (Narendra Singh Tomar) द्वारा 22 मई, 2021 को National Mobile Monitoring Software (NMMS) एप्प और Area Officer Monitoring एप्प लॉन्च किया गया। ये एप्प योजनाओं की पारदर्शिता और उचित निगरानी लाने की दिशा में एक बड़ा कदम हैं।

NMMS App
महात्मा गांधी नरेगा (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA) कार्यस्थलों पर श्रमिकों की वास्तविक समय पर उपस्थिति दर्ज करने के लिए NMMS एप्प लॉन्च किया गया है। यह उनकी जियोटैग की गई तस्वीर भी लेगा। इस प्रकार, यह एप्प इस कार्यक्रम की नागरिकों द्वारा निगरानी बढ़ाने में मदद करेगा और संभावित रूप से भुगतान के प्रसंस्करण को तेज तरीके से सक्षम करेगा।

Area Officer Monitoring App
अधिकारियों को अपने निष्कर्षों को ऑनलाइन रिकॉर्ड करने की सुविधा के लिए इस एप्प को लॉन्च किया गया है। यह ग्रामीण विकास विभाग द्वारा शुरू की गई सभी योजनाओं के लिए टाइम स्टैंप और जियो-कोऑर्डिनेट टैग की गई तस्वीर को रिकॉर्ड करने में भी मदद करेगा। इस प्रकार, यह एप्प क्षेत्र और पर्यवेक्षी अधिकारियों द्वारा निरीक्षणों के बेहतर रिकॉर्ड रखने में सक्षम होगा और यह निष्कर्षों के विश्लेषण की सुविधा भी प्रदान करेगा जो बदले में कार्यक्रम के बेहतर तरीके से कार्यान्वयन में मदद करेगा।

महात्मा गांधी रोजगार गारंटी अधिनियम 2005 (Mahatma Gandhi Employment Guarantee Act 2005)
इस अधिनियम का नाम बदलकर “महात्मा गांधी राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण रोजगार गारंटी अधिनियम” कर दिया गया। यह एक भारतीय श्रम कानून और सामाजिक सुरक्षा उपाय है। इसे ‘काम का अधिकार’ (right to work) सुनिश्चित करने के उद्देश्य से अधिनियमित किया गया था। इसे सितंबर 2005 में तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री डॉ. मनमोहन सिंह द्वारा पारित किया गया था। यह अधिनियम प्रत्येक परिवार को कम से कम 100 दिनों का मजदूरी रोजगार प्रदान करता है। यह ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में आजीविका सुरक्षा को बढ़ाता है। विश्व बैंक इस अधिनियम को ‘ग्रामीण विकास का तारकीय उदाहरण’ (stellar example of rural development) कहता है।

*Nation remembers 'missile man' APJ Abdul Kalam on 3rd death anniversary: Inspiring quotes and interesting facts*

Jul 27, 2018,

NEW DELHI: The nation on Friday paid homage to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who is fondly remembered as the 'People's President' and the 'Missile Man of India' on his third death anniversary.

Born on October 15, 1931, in Tamil Nadu's Rameswaram, Dr APJ Kalam served as the 11th President of India between 2002 and 2007. Kalam, who had penned several books and inspired millions through his philosophy of 'simple living and high thinking', died due to a cardiac arrest while delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Shillong on July 27, 2015.

As an eminent scientist, educationist, author, visionary, philanthropist and orator, Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam donned several hats in his life. Fondly known as the 'missile man', he played a crucial role in the 1998 Pokhran-II nuclear tests. He was also associated with India's space program and missile development program.

After serving his full term as the President, Kalam did what he loved the most till he breathed his last – teaching.

In the honour of the late scientist and 'People's President', Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the APJ Abdul Kalam Memorial at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu last year.

He was honoured with several prestigious awards including India's highest civilian honour *"Bharat Ratna" in 1997.*

He was very popular among the children and the country's youth and inspired them to think big in life. He also penned nearly 25 books, including India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium, Wings of Fire: An Autobiography, Ignited Minds: Unleashing the Power within India, Mission of India: A Vision of Indian Youth.

*Here are some of his most inspiring quotes*

-•“Don’t take rest after your first victory because if you fail in second, more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.”

-•"Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action."

-•"To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal."

-•"If you fail, never give up because FAIL means "First Attempt In Learning".

-•Creativity is seeing the same thing but thinking differently

-•"If you want to shine like a sun. First burn like a sun."

-•"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough."

-•"All of us do not have equal talent. But , all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents."

*Interesting facts*

-•Kalam gave away his salary to charity: Dr Kalam donated his entire salaries and savings to a charitable trust – PURA (Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas) – he had founded. He argued that after becoming the President of India, the government will take care of him till his death, so why not use his salary for better things.

-•The story of his cobbler in Thiruvananthapuram: During an official visit to the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, Kalam took out time to meet his old cobbler, George. The two would often chat while the cobbler repaired his shoes.
