Southern and north-eastern states get A grade on gender, Gujarat gets a D August 15, 2013 , By Special Correspondent  The States reporting the best sex ratios are Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, while the worst off States are Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab India’s southern and north-eastern States get an A grade on a multi-indicator gender scorecard, while Gujarat gets a D and Delhi a G. The Delhi Policy Group, a non-partisan Delhi-based research and advocacy group, prepared the scorecards by ranking States and the Centre on seven indicators — sex ratio, health, education, political representation, crimes against women, employment and decision-making — and grading them from A to J (one to ten) relative to their distance from an ideal score. Each indicator had on average four or more indicators within it, and all the data was from official sources, Radha Kumar, director-general of the DPG, said. The grades were dynamic, meaning that change over time improved scores. India as a whole got a D+ grade, with an F on crimes against women, based on data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). “While it is important to look at criminal complaints of crimes against women, it would also be instructive to look at civil complaints of domestic violence,” Additional Solicitor General and women’s rights activist Indira Jaisingh suggested. All States reported rising rates of crimes against women and falling conviction rates, with Madhya Pradesh reporting by far the highest number of rapes of any State. The States reporting the best sex ratios meanwhile were Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, while the worst off States were Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab. Kerala was the best performing State on most female health indicators, while Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha were the worst performing. Education was one of the few indicators that most States were improving on, but high drop-out rates remained a problem. With the Women’s Reservation Bill still hanging fire, India continues to have one of the lowest rates of female political participation, far lower than all of its south Asian neighbours. On account of reservation in local body elections, all states have between 33% and 50% female local body representatives, the scorecards showed. There was however significant variations between States in the proportion of women judges in high courts, from a low of 3.1% in Andhra Pradesh to a high of 16.7% in Rajasthan and Delhi. Tamil Nadu, Sikkim, Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya were the top-ranked states, getting an A+ grade, with Himachal Pradesh and Manipur following with an A grade and Kerala with an A-. Maharashtra and Karnataka followed with Bs and Gujarat was tied with Jharkhand in the middle for a D+. Assam, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Jammu & Kashmir were tied for the bottom spot, all getting an overall grade of G.      Related topics social issues (general), discrimination Home Sections   A- A+ Sent from Samsung Mobile

Mooppada Home : A complete go green concept home in my home village

I have an ancestral property in Cherukara, precisely on the Cherukara-Chelamala road near the Aligarh University campus in Cherukara-Elamkulam village ( Malappuram District). Originally, my grandfather owned this property, then transferred it to my father and eventually to me. When I inherited it, it was a “Mottakunnu,” barren except for numerous rocks, without a single tree. Fifteen years ago, I promised my father that, God willing, I would build a home on it.  This land is imbued with my childhood memories, including my life there and our affection for plants and domestic animals. Now, a dream has been realized. We have just formally moved into our dream “Mooppada Home.” The construction took seven months to complete, adhering to a theme that did not disturb the natural environment.  We preserved all the soil, rocks, and plants, protecting nature as it is. The property utilizes solar energy and natural water sources. The house is built in an “Erumadam” style but includes all modern

 Civil station -Kozhikode Booth 83 at 7.30 am The queue at 9.30am without any change  Voting at Kozhikode As a responsible citizen, I endeavored to cast my vote at Kozhikode Civil Station Government UP School Booth number 83. I joined the queue at 7:45 am and remained there until 9:15 am. Unfortunately, the queue was at a standstill, and I was unaware of the situation inside the booth. Many individuals were postponing their voting to resolve the issue. Consequently, I also left the booth without casting my vote. Perhaps I will make another attempt later in the evening. It's worth noting that some people had been standing in the queue since 6:45 am, patiently waiting for their turn. "After standing in line for two hours, I finally managed to cast my vote at noon on my second attempt. The queue system in Calicut was somewhat embarrassing. They allowed 3 to 4 senior citizens, 2 women, and then 1 man, which caused a significant delay in the men's queue. The management's un

This performance was staged at the I MA Kozhikode as part of the New Year celebration in 2024. All credit for the motivation to do this performance goes to my better half and star dancer, Dr. Supriya . Sudhi Kadalundi was the choreographer, and his team supported us in the chorus. The songs from the movies Oru Maravathoor Kanavu ( Sundariye) and Kudukku ( Theyithaka ) The success of any group art performance hinges on teamwork. Some elements, like song and background selection, occurred spontaneously in this performance. The highlight was the impromptu choreography, seamlessly matching the steps to the song and setting. Mr. Sudhi Kadakundi excels in this area with his expertise and experience. We garnered significant appreciation and applause from the audience. Ultimately, such performances outside our professional realm provide immense joy and a meditative experience. Choreographer Sudhi Kadakundi and Chorus  Comment from DrShukur Guntur  , Andra Pradesh
