like i said (or made a very cynical forecast ) here, citizens who signed up for the employment guarantee scheme in a village in vizianagaram district (andhra pradesh) are filling up a tank they had dug up a year ago (for the food-for-work programme). the project director, accosted by television reporters, offered a very longwinded explanation ....and a long sheepish grin. the channel, which reported the scam, also says most of the small-time political leaders in the region are making good money from distributing 'the right to work' among select applicants/non-existent benami applicants.
also, another nosy reporter had discovered, a few weeks ago, that jobcards had been issued in the names of a lot of, not benami, but namcheen applicants in madhya pradesh. lucky applicants included some top babus in the state government, mlas, ministers and..

It is the implementatio that is so botched up that I am cynical of any govt. initiative for poverty reduction.

cant blame the govt. They just took keynes literally.

welcome back..hope your exams went well.
thanks, they went sufficiently well
Hi,
Yeah 16 dimensions. For example u see....if you have a streched rubber and pulled downwards into the centre then, if we release a ball it will eventually fall into the centre. Its like some force like....due to the curvature of the two-dimensional space. And for gravtation its curvature of 4 dimensions, space-time curvature. so for manifesting all the forces they have to start with atleast 10 dimensional Universe.
Hope it makes you little bit more clear.

I liked your blog post as always.
The media shud act as the watch dog. Now with open publishing culture of the blogs, every demeanour of the government shud be caught, the dog shud bitr it hard till the errors are undone.
anyway, I think you might find my new telugu blog interesting
