Weather you look at the issue from the historical point if view, patriotic point of view or purely logical point of view, it is imperative that Muslims of India should accept that the Ram-Janambhoomi is a site for Mandir and a Masjid can not stand there.
To put it historically,
History states that once the Muslims of Junagarh [Gujarat] aspired to build Mosque on Girnar, which is pre-dominantly Hindu and Jain pilgrimage center, Nawab of Junagarh, Mohabbat khan Babi, had resolved the matter by rejecting the plea of Muslims stating not to interfere in the religious sentiments of the fellow religion and had ordered that no Mosque would be built on Girnar and had reserved the site of Mira Datar hills for Muslims to build their Masjid, where no Mandir is built. When a king, who had clear leaning towards Pakistan and who eventually escaped there, had such crystal clear vision, that disallowed destruction or harassment of one religion by the other, why can’t the current rulers be pro-active in solving the dispute on the similar pathway. It is a proven historical fact that in 1528, Mir Baqi, a noble under Mughal emperor Babar had built the mosque destructing the existing temple. The original Hindu temple, which was demolished by Mir Baqi should have been restored much earlier.
If we consider patriotic criteria, why the onus of maintaining brotherhood lies only on the shoulder of Hindus??? The Indian Muslims consider themselves to be very much Indian, it should be their pious duty to contribute in up keeping peaceful co-existence by respecting religious sentiments of the people who have been original inhabitant of this soil. The history can not be erased, nor it can be twisted. It is the past that leads to present and constructs the brick of the future. The history says that there were more than 3000 temples demolished by the Muslim invaders and all that Hindus have demanded is restoring three of them! Yesterday, my lawyer cousin Renu Parekh messaged me urgently, to watch the discussion being telecasted on News X, in which the leader of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, stated that ‘Their demad is to rebuild only three temples, which have been the birthplace of their [Hindu] source of faith. Their Gods. Ayodhya, the Ram Janmbhoomi , which was demolition to build Babri Masjid, Mathura, the Shree Krishna Janmsthal, where an Idgah stands today, after obliteration of the temple and the ‘prakatyasthal’ of Lord Shiva in Banaras. The Historical facts have proven time and again, that there have been innumerable temples which had been destroyed by the Muslim invaders but to demand to restore all of them would endanger the harmonious equilibrium of the nation. Thus, the places of worship, that have been birth place of Hindu source of faith are restored, the Hindu- Muslim unity could be assured.’ When a Hindu Organization, which has been accused ever for being extremist, can come forward for peaceful co-living, why the Muslims can not come forward and value the other’s religious beliefs.
If one dwells into the leaf of yesteryears, one can observe that the Hindus never attack but react. If a Hindu’s religious beliefs are targeted every now and then and then if he is expected to keep mum, he reacts but a Hindu never begins hurting the other’s religious sentiments.
On the same show, on News X, Dr. Subramaniam Swami of Janta Party [mind well, not BJP.. otherwise people would judge his comments as pro-saffron!!!] commented the logical aspect why the site should be handed over to Hindus. He stated that the Hon. Supreme Court had made an observation that ‘The Muslims do not need a mosque for praying and they do perform Namaz anywhere but a Hindu prays before a deity and that too, in a temple. Thus the Hindus require temple for their expression of prayer.’
On the basis of this, the Ram Janmbhoomi site, which is the birthplace of Hindu’s source of faith, should be respectfully handed over to them.. Dr. Swamy stated. A few years back in 2002, the Hon. Supreme Court had ordered the Archeological Department of India to conduct a survey to find out about the ruins of temple that existed before it was demolished to construct the Babri Masjid. In August 2003, the Archeology Dept. handed over the report, that the ruins of temple had been located.
But,
Unfortunately, the Muslims opposed it.
The secularists argue that the past be forgotten and deem our country as a new nation after independence.
But,
There is a large number of population till date, who was born before 1947, who has witnessed number of events that took place like partition struggle etc. Can they eradicate those memories that they never were born in Undivided India and had to leave empty handed, leaving behind their prosperity for which they had toiled for years. The argument to erase every documental fact regarding religious beliefs is utter nonsense. The suedo-seculars demand that Hindus should forget their claim on their God’s birth place, can the same people demand, from Muslims that if at all the Mecca-Madina or Jamma Masjid, the Muslim source of faith is met with similar consequences, they [Muslims] would resign themselves to keeping quite? Then, why these one sided view of secularism???
It is again true that not all Muslims have this non-considerable view point and there are nationalist Muslims, who rejoice the brotherhood with Hindus.
But,
The clergymen of Muslims and our Govt. at the center, have considered Muslims, who are unfortunately backward and uneducated on a large scale, to be a huge Vote Bank, who are tossed around for being powerful.
Muslim faith may have been brought to India by the invaders but the people who converted to Islam were originally Hindus. Their forefathers were Hindus.
And,
When changes faith, one does not change fathers.
Or
Start ridiculing the beliefs of their fathers.
Once upon a time, there was a practice in Punjab, that each family gave one son to Panth Khalsa and thus the entire Sikh community came into existence. Sikhs, though have different set of belifs, they do not scoff at Hindu faith. As they realize that with faith ancestry does not change.
Muslims of India should realize this.. Sometime in past, their own forefathers would have worshipped Bhagwan Ram and would have believed that Ayodhya to be Bhagwan’s birthplace. They should realize that invaders were foreigners without any connection with heritage of India but they themselves share the same roots. It is eminent that they care for Hindu sentiments.

Putri Devo Bhav... Beti Bhacavo Abhiyan... Swarnim Siddhi-22.
Daughter, the word echoes sentiment of care and concern, adore and affection, warmth and worship... and all the emotions that portrays a bonding of a lifetime and is unrivaled to any other closeness saga.. A relationship that is to the core altruistic...
As said in English...
A son is a son, till he gets his wife
And,
A daughter is a daughter, for all your life...
The Indian culture projects,
The daughter as someone, who is the savior of two families...
The one she is borne into and where she leaves her footprints of innocence and vulnerability and keeps the household animated with her mesmerizing presence.
And,
When she marries and leaves the household of her parents, she carries with her the devotion and dedication, the commitment to bring about rays of happiness in her in-laws home and serves endlessly to see a smile on her new relatives.
Today, as the world celebrates Daughters Day...
I, bow in exaltation to all the lovely daughters of the world, who have lit up lives of you and me and all the proud parents of a girl child..
It has been an irony that with the advancement in Medical Science, the new invention of testing the fetus’s sex, in the primary pregnancy has become inevitable nuisance. The eradication of female fetus is one of the biggest blot on our society and cultural heritage. According to the national aggregate of projecting the ratio of male and female, considering the age group of 0-6 years, it was 927:1000. In comparison, Gujarat projected the ratio of 883:1000. Thus, Gujarat Govt. took up to bring about this ratio to minimum in 2001.
The advent of Rurban Economy in Gujarat, has formulated numerous Ultra Sound Sonography Clinics in every nook and corner of the state. The ill effect of otherwise progressive availability is killing of female fetus. Thus, the problem of aborting girl child is much more severe in rural and urban areas than among tribals.
The daughters have been very close to Shri Narendra Modiji’s t heart. He has been instrumental in fulfilling every dreams cherished by daughters of Gujarat. Thus, to act on them being born, without being humiliated on the basis of their sex, has been a subject very near and dear to him. He took up to eliminate this unlawful discrimination suffered by female child.
And,
Thus, Gujarat Govt. started ‘Beti Bachao’ Abhiyan. By 2010, they have been able to achieve the ratio near to 1:1 in the age group of 0-6.
Following steps have been taken for smooth operation of this movement...
1. The Gujarat Govt. spent Rs. 2800 crores for IMR IN 2007-08 to present different scholarships to female child.
2. Conducted various sting operations on laboratories as well as medical institutions, uninformed and took up strict actions against involved.
3. Conducting Sex-Determination test has to undergo austere standards and really necessary cases are given allowance to conduct such.
4. All the doctors practicing in the state have to proclaim that the abortions conducted by them did not carry the female fetus.
5. All the ministers to M.L.A.’s to M.P.’s have to conduct programmes expressing the importance of girl child and bring about change in the thinking of commoners regarding the same.
6. To initiate programmes and cultural activities to present and create awareness regarding humiliation faced by a daughter, even before she enters this world.
7. To commence female courts for imparting justice.
8. To train the widows to be able to lead a life of honor and respect.
9. To initiate permission of mother’s name while entering the child in the school.
10. To provide number of incentives to daughters to be educated and at par with male child.
Gujarat Govt. has abducted about 144 ultra sound sonography units under PNDT rules. About 79 court cases are in progress against culprits.

The Con-Man Wealth Game.. The heart-ache it has presented in every nationalist Indian's heart.
The first question we, Indians need to ask our selves..
Do we need the extravaganza called Common Wealth Games? A part of our heart would declare, why not, every developing country would be hugely benefitted monetarily, with sooo many people visiting and the infrastructure expense, once occurred, would be paid off eventually..
Plus,
India, would earn colossal fame and prestige..
Great..
These are the answers, you, me, a whole bunch of us consoled our selves with. In reality, these arguments were put forward to us, by our dear UPA ministers and our honorable Prime Minister.
And,
We digested the argument, like sweet and smooth ‘sheera’.
We were presented with the illustrations of China’s mounting popularity and upward economic growth in every fields, after the Beijing Olympics..
And,
We, the India’s gullible citizens got absolutely carried away, without giving any deeper thoughts, weather, such a success to the whole event, would be affordable, possible and eventually desirable?
It is true that on the first glance, the infrastructural development, like stadiums, hotels etc. that would be taking place, for conducting such events, would pose to be very attractive form of development.
And,
It would be argued that eventually development would bring prosperity to the people.. It is true that any developing country, needs to keep a perfect equilibrium between the various kinds of developments and any sort of development projects are worthwhile and welcome.
But,
Dwelling one’s self a little deeper, into the matter, it would appear that we still have not reached a stage, where the above mentioned infrastructural development would or should be made priority. There is a mammoth need to spend the funds in gigantic volumes for people oriented projects, which would ensure them availability of basic needs in plenty. If the gargantuan amount spent on constructing innumerable stadiums and star hotels could have been preferred to be spent on that...! Today, in an interview with Barkha Dutt on NDTV, one of the UPA’s leader, Shri Mani Shankar Aiyyar, himself pointed out that the about 70,000 crores have been recklessly spent on the event that is known as Common Wealth, and which is proposed and projected to earn the effervescent success to a nation, which badly requires that enormous sum of money for countless precedence that are of primary importance.
He, even after being an important part and parcel of Congress, could not resist on pouring out his genuine feelings.
And,
If that was less,
The stumpy level of shoddy work that has been done in construction as well as maintenance, has won as a title of ‘Shameless’!!! Lot many representatives and participants from various countries are opting out proclaiming the accommodation conditions ‘unlivable’!!!
And,
Even after such a huge fiasco and humiliating comments, the authority by the name of Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, Mr. M.S.Gill or Mrs. Sheila Dixit go on denying that all is not well!!! I wonder, in what words, Mrs. Gandhi, their ‘super’ boss or the Hon. P.M. has confronted them? The concerned beuracrate, Mr. Bhanot has the audacity, to state in self defence for the accusation of poor hygine and sanitation facilities, that their [the visitors from different countries] and our necessities and standards are different!!! What kind of shabby and uncouth answer is that? The availability of the best hygienic conditions, is of primary importance and to demand that from the host, is not aluxery that they are demanding for. The Hon. C.M. of Delhi has also failed miserably in controlling the time management factor for completion of infrastructure.
Shri Suresh Kalmadi, the minister-in-charge, constantly bragged that this event was going to be bigger and more memorable than the Beijing Olympic..
But,
Have any of these officials had asked their conscious that did they collectively possess [individually, would be too much to demand], the inner strength or the will power to act rightly and promptly, when the time called for? Did they have the courage to take prompt action of the most severe kinds, in case of terror attacks or for provision of security? [To remind you all, there was a terror attack in Beijing, on the very first day and the terrorists were captured immediately and were sent to hell [and not heaven- the five star jails], before the games ended!!!]
We are a country, which was made of lower class and recently, we have put our first few steps as upcoming middle class. We have too many main concerns of developments to take care of, apart from strong and committed impudence. And, for God’s sake, we are no super economic power as yet, and can ill-afford the exorbitant increase in expense and the entire budget going hay-wire. On the contarary, this opportunity, to show case the world, the talent of India has been miserably lost. The Indian athlete Aparna Popat, pointed out to a T.V. channel, that the ‘Advantage Home Pitch’ has been turned into ‘Disadvantage at home’.
And,
The sole and main reason being fraudulent and dishonest tendencies by Shri Suresh Kalmadi and company and of course, inability or disinterest by Hon. P.M. and Smt. Sonia Gandhi, to take strict actions against the trio of Suresh Kalmadi, Sheila Dixit and Sports Minister Shri Gill. All Suresh Kalmadi has offered in plenty, is ridiculous amouts of spending. Shri Anurag Singh Thakur, Member of Parliament from Himachal Pradesh and the chief of H.P. Cricket Control Board, pointed out that recently he spent Rs. 48 crores to prepare a stadium in Dharamsala and here, Rs. 981 crores are being spent for preparation of the same!!! What more should we express?
It is extremely painful, the way the prestige of our country has been put at stake internationally, by the nincompoop leaders leading the nation and the event which was supposed to be a memorable and prestigious, is turning out to be a national shame. Every day or is it too much to wait, rather every few hours, the news of some disaster occurring appears and more heart ache is felt. Eventually, the games will come and go, but leaving behind an iota of bitter cachet and excruciating reminiscent of sleaze, non committal intentions and what not...

The Bus Rapid Transit System.. The feather in the crown of Gujarat's progress. Swarnimsiddhi-21.
The city of Karnavati, was founded by Gurjar king, Karna Dev [father of the great Siddharaj Jaisingh], in about 1100’s. Later, when the Solanki dynesty’s rule ended and the great Gurjar Desh was won over by the Muslim king, Ahmedshah, he founded the city of Ahmedabad in 1411, which was a walled city, on the eastern bank of the river Sabarmati.
Now,
Ahmedabad is the seventh largest metropolis in India and the largest in Gujarat.
It is estimated that by 2031, the city will accommodate 10 million people. The present spread of 466 sq. kms. is expected to reach 1200 sq. kms. The growth is largely dependant on accessibility and a focused development of infrastructure. The Ahmedabad-Mumbai Golden Corridor is an important development axis in Western India. It has seven major roadways, one expressway and five rail networks. A new corridor between Ahmedabad and Pune has recently emerged, connecting the city to four metropolois such as Vadodara, Surat, Mumbai and Pune.
Ahmedabad’s transportation system is predominantly dependent on roadway system. Public transport mainly constitutes the city-run buses [AMTS] and privately run shared and non shared autorikshaws. Buses constitute 15% of the total commute while bicycles account for 18%.
State run buses [GSRTC] bring a sizable number of commuters from cities, towns and villages across the state and everyday approximately 2,00,000 [two way passengers] arrive at the central business district. All most 33% of people use public transport.
The biggest question that growing cities are facing today is how to deal with the immense criss-cross movement of people. Ordinarily, public transport buses weave in and out of the mixed traffic on the roads. This causes problems to both, the passengers in terms of alighting and disembarking as well as other traffic causing delays and traffic congestion.
The Bus Rapid Transit System [BRTS] is a concept that details out of a dedicated traffic lane for the movement of public transport buses. In a BRT system, since the vehicles travel in exclusive lanes, they avoid the congestion on the road. At the same time, other motorized traffic is benefitted due to shifting of buses to dedicated lanes. There is a provision of segregated right-of-way infrastructure, quality buses, rapid and frequent bus operation and easy boarding, alighting and transfer. The concept of BRTS is to encourage more people on the public transit system which, with high quality service is easily feasible. BRTS is a system being adopted by many countries across the world as a comprehensive system that is relatively low on capital costs. Curitiba, Bogota in Columbia, Maxico city , Jakarta, Beijing, Sao Paulo are some of the cities where BRTS has been successfully been implemented. In Buggota, Columbia there is no railway and the entire transport service is based on BRTS.
In India, BRTS has been adopted in several cities like Pune, Delhi, Indore etc. but it’s been most successful in Ahmedabad. As part of the vision, of ‘Accessible Ahmedabad’, BRTS is officially called ‘Janmarg’- a route for people, the name presented by the Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modiji.
Ahmedabad BRTS is based on equitable sharing of road space and an inclusiveness that encourages all segments and groups to board the bus. Data analysis reveal that almost 17% use bicycle and 37% of the people still walk. Hence, the BRTS design included giving priority to creating cycle tracks and adequate sidewalks as the part of the Right of Way.
The Govt. of Gujarat, had declared the year 2005, as ‘the year of urban development’ [Shaheri Vikas Varsh] During this particular year, the urban development dept. undertook various initiatives to resolve urban issues such as traffic congestion. The Gujarat Govt. [GIDB], Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation [AMC] and Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority jointly drafted a comprehensive urban mobility plan keeping in mind, the implementation of BRTS. CEPT University was assigned the work of the preparation of a detailed project report [DPR] for the implementation of BRTS in Ahmedabad. In meanwhile, the Govt. of India, announced the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission [JNNURM] for urban development and the AMC submitted its proposal to the Govt. of India. which was first of its kind. As approved by the ministry of Urban Development, the AMC has implemented the BRTS project in phases. The BRTS project was approved in November 2006 and the work commenced in 2007. The first stretch of phase 1, from RTO to Pirana, a distance of 12.5 km. was dedicated for the people on 14th October 2009. The Janmarg would be covering the span of 88.8 km. of network, through the city, connecting the central areas as well as industrial and residential areas as well as institutional areas. The project being developed with an estimated cost of Rs. 1000 crores, which received support from JnNURM. The share of central, state and local government is in the ratio of 35:15:50.
For the first three months, the travel was free of cost. The total expenditure per day, for the running of first phase is 31 lakhs per day. 10 lakhs people travel through it everyday and there are 950 buses in implication.
The road section accommodates an exclusive bus lane segregated from mixed traffic by a railing with a landscaped curb. Signals are provided at all crossovers to aid pedestrian movement. A special cadet force has been trained to direct the traffic at the BRTS junctions. The special split flyovers have been designed to allow the bus to move in the designated buslane, which is particularly important at critical traffic intersections to keep the bus accessible for passengers. Overall, five depots and workshops are planned with each depot on an average holding 50-60 buses initially and expanding to 80-1—buses finally. Each location would be handed over to the private operator, who would provide day time parking facilities to other operators as part of mutual understanding. The workshop would consist of state of art facilities with at least 10 maintanance pits, washing and cleaning yards and siesel/CNG stations. The depot locations are stationed at Ranip, Chandoda, Iscon Circle, Naroda.
The Silver Grey and Orange buses plying the bus way are specially designed for Janmarg operation. They have..
1.High Floor-900mm above road level.
2.Flat Floor-easy for people to move about, especially when crowded and for wheelchair.
3.Clean Euro-3, diesel fuel- environment friendly.
4.Pneumetic suspension-smooth ride.
5.Automated Doors-1.96m wide centrally placed, handles large crowds moving in and out.
6.Seating capacity-36 people and Standing Capacity-50 people. Ensures more standing space.
7.Rods and Handles-to hold while standing.
8.Large Glass Windows- good view and light.
9.Wheelchair Space- for physically challenged.
10. Fire Fighting System.
It also includes,
1. Automated vehicle tracking system.
2. LED display.
3. Ticket Validation.
4. Passenger Information System [PIS]- Announcement made via speakers about bus stop.
Recently, The BRTS service of Ahmedabad was awarded with an international decoration by the USA Govt.’s Transport Research Board with a Sustainable Transport Award-2010. The award was received by the Municiple Commissioner of Ahmedabad, Shri I.P. Gautam and standing committee chairman Shri Asit Vora. Shri Gautam explained about the exclusive transportation facilities of developed Ahmedabad and the provision of three months free ride experience provided to the people, was highly praised by the World Bank Officials. AMC has generated the BRTS in Ahmedabad after learning about the causes that failed the same project in Delhi and Pune. AMC also pland to propagate the concept of Green Ahmedbad, through this project.
Hon. C.M. Shri Modiji, along with two of his ministers took a surprise ride and enjoyed the experience immensely.
Vande Gujarat.
Now,
Ahmedabad is the seventh largest metropolis in India and the largest in Gujarat.
It is estimated that by 2031, the city will accommodate 10 million people. The present spread of 466 sq. kms. is expected to reach 1200 sq. kms.

State run buses [GSRTC] bring a sizable number of commuters from cities, towns and villages across the state and everyday approximately 2,00,000 [two way passengers] arrive at the central business district. All most 33% of people use public transport.
The biggest question that growing cities are facing today is how to deal with the immense criss-cross movement of people. Ordinarily, public transport buses weave in and out of the mixed traffic on the roads. This causes problems to both, the passengers in terms of alighting and disembarking as well as other traffic causing delays and traffic congestion.
The Bus Rapid Transit System [BRTS] is a concept that details out of a dedicated traffic lane for the movement of public transport buses. In a BRT system, since the vehicles travel in exclusive lanes, they avoid the congestion on the road. At the same time, other motorized traffic is benefitted due to shifting of buses to dedicated lanes. There is a provision of segregated right-of-way infrastructure, quality buses, rapid and frequent bus operation and easy boarding, alighting and transfer. The concept of BRTS is to encourage more people on the public transit system which, with high quality service is easily feasible. BRTS is a system being adopted by many countries across the world as a comprehensive system that is relatively low on capital costs. Curitiba, Bogota in Columbia, Maxico city , Jakarta, Beijing, Sao Paulo are some of the cities where BRTS has been successfully been implemented. In Buggota, Columbia there is no railway and the entire transport service is based on BRTS.
In India, BRTS has been adopted in several cities like Pune, Delhi, Indore etc. but it’s been most successful in Ahmedabad. As part of the vision, of ‘Accessible Ahmedabad’, BRTS is officially called ‘Janmarg’- a route for people, the name presented by the Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modiji.
Ahmedabad BRTS is based on equitable sharing of road space and an inclusiveness that encourages all segments and groups to board the bus. Data analysis reveal that almost 17% use bicycle and 37% of the people still walk. Hence, the BRTS design included giving priority to creating cycle tracks and adequate sidewalks as the part of the Right of Way.
The Govt. of Gujarat, had declared the year 2005, as ‘the year of urban development’ [Shaheri Vikas Varsh] During this particular year, the urban development dept. undertook various initiatives to resolve urban issues such as traffic congestion. The Gujarat Govt. [GIDB], Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation [AMC] and Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority jointly drafted a comprehensive urban mobility plan keeping in mind, the implementation of BRTS. CEPT University was assigned the work of the preparation of a detailed project report [DPR] for the implementation of BRTS in Ahmedabad. In meanwhile, the Govt. of India, announced the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission [JNNURM] for urban development and the AMC submitted its proposal to the Govt. of India. which was first of its kind. As approved by the ministry of Urban Development, the AMC has implemented the BRTS project in phases. The BRTS project was approved in November 2006 and the work commenced in 2007. The first stretch of phase 1, from RTO to Pirana, a distance of 12.5 km. was dedicated for the people on 14th October 2009. The Janmarg would be covering the span of 88.8 km. of network, through the city, connecting the central areas as well as industrial and residential areas as well as institutional areas. The project being developed with an estimated cost of Rs. 1000 crores, which received support from JnNURM. The share of central, state and local government is in the ratio of 35:15:50.
For the first three months, the travel was free of cost. The total expenditure per day, for the running of first phase is 31 lakhs per day. 10 lakhs people travel through it everyday and there are 950 buses in implication.
The road section accommodates an exclusive bus lane segregated from mixed traffic by a railing with a landscaped curb. Signals are provided at all crossovers to aid pedestrian movement. A special cadet force has been trained to direct the traffic at the BRTS junctions. The special split flyovers have been designed to allow the bus to move in the designated buslane, which is particularly important at critical traffic intersections to keep the bus accessible for passengers. Overall, five depots and workshops are planned with each depot on an average holding 50-60 buses initially and expanding to 80-1—buses finally. Each location would be handed over to the private operator, who would provide day time parking facilities to other operators as part of mutual understanding. The workshop would consist of state of art facilities with at least 10 maintanance pits, washing and cleaning yards and siesel/CNG stations. The depot locations are stationed at Ranip, Chandoda, Iscon Circle, Naroda.
The Silver Grey and Orange buses plying the bus way are specially designed for Janmarg operation. They have..
1.High Floor-900mm above road level.
2.Flat Floor-easy for people to move about, especially when crowded and for wheelchair.
3.Clean Euro-3, diesel fuel- environment friendly.
4.Pneumetic suspension-smooth ride.
5.Automated Doors-1.96m wide centrally placed, handles large crowds moving in and out.
6.Seating capacity-36 people and Standing Capacity-50 people. Ensures more standing space.
7.Rods and Handles-to hold while standing.
8.Large Glass Windows- good view and light.
9.Wheelchair Space- for physically challenged.
10. Fire Fighting System.
It also includes,
1. Automated vehicle tracking system.
2. LED display.
3. Ticket Validation.
4. Passenger Information System [PIS]- Announcement made via speakers about bus stop.
Recently, The BRTS service of Ahmedabad was awarded with an international decoration by the USA Govt.’s Transport Research Board with a Sustainable Transport Award-2010. The award was received by the Municiple Commissioner of Ahmedabad, Shri I.P. Gautam and standing committee chairman Shri Asit Vora. Shri Gautam explained about the exclusive transportation facilities of developed Ahmedabad and the provision of three months free ride experience provided to the people, was highly praised by the World Bank Officials. AMC has generated the BRTS in Ahmedabad after learning about the causes that failed the same project in Delhi and Pune. AMC also pland to propagate the concept of Green Ahmedbad, through this project.
Hon. C.M. Shri Modiji, along with two of his ministers took a surprise ride and enjoyed the experience immensely.
Vande Gujarat.

The aim is to excell qualitatively.. Celebrating Gunotsva in education.. Swarnimsiddhi-20
It has been 64 years of independence and Indian education system has developed in many folds, with numerous education institutes and courses being available, at every level. The Indian student, pursuing higher education or seeking job abroad, leaves a permanent mark of excellence, through his/her capacity to acquire greater knowledge.
But,
Generally, it has been observed that the education that is imparted, does not reach the root levels and many a times, it is only in numbers that these facilities appear. It ‘s qualitative aspect is near nil. To overcome this deficiency, in the field of qualitative education at deepest echelon, the Gujarat Govt. has built up a novel and exclusive plan..
And,
from the Hon. C.M. Shri Modiji to Hon. ministers and respected concerned officers are involving themselves to ensure success of this unique plan.
The plan is called GUNOTSVA, where the assessment of schools, students and teachers are being done, academically. In the year 2009, the points included in such assessments were provision of qualitative education, to optimum utilization of the structural facilities and to assess the steps taken to be carried out effectively. The entire programme has been compartmentalized in seven sub divisons.
They are,
1.To bring about awareness among the teaching staff and people, in general.
2.To assess the working of the teachers of the school and grading it.
3.To ensure the imparting of qualitative education within the four walls of classrooms.
4. To provide educational grading to the school.

It ‘s qualitative aspect is near nil. To overcome this deficiency, in the field of qualitative education at deepest echelon, the Gujarat Govt. has built up a novel and exclusive plan..
And,
from the Hon. C.M. Shri Modiji to Hon. ministers and respected concerned officers are involving themselves to ensure success of this unique plan.
The plan is called GUNOTSVA, where the assessment of schools, students and teachers are being done, academically. In the year 2009, the points included in such assessments were provision of qualitative education, to optimum utilization of the structural facilities and to assess the steps taken to be carried out effectively. The entire programme has been compartmentalized in seven sub divisons.
They are,
1.To bring about awareness among the teaching staff and people, in general.
2.To assess the working of the teachers of the school and grading it.
3.To ensure the imparting of qualitative education within the four walls of classrooms.
4. To provide educational grading to the school.
5. To assess the structural facilities of the school.
6.To assess the extra curricular facilities provided by the schools.
And,
7.To put in order the better equipped plan to provide further development in the qualitative education..
The Govt. is providing Rs. 500, per school to carry out the programme of Shala [school] Praveshotsva.
Rs. 500, per school for first aid facilities and Rs. 1200 for the primary school of 1 to 4 std. for the purpose of sanitation. The schools having classes from 1 to 7th are provided with Rs. 2400. Under the scheme of Healthy Child [Nirogi Bal Yojna], the 1st std child is imparted with Rs. 30. School maintenance grant, [per school], with 3 class rooms are provided with Rs. 7500 and the schools with more than 3 classrooms are given 10,000 Rs. School development grant, for primary section, is Rs. 5000 and T.L.M. grant is Rs. 500 per teachers.
GUNOTSVA has been divided in two phases.
In the first phase, the 32,600 govt. institutes are being self assessed and to upload the school self assessment details on the website. [out of 32,600 schools, self assessing, 31,654 schools datas have been uploaded].
In the second phase, about 3000 of grade 1 and grade 2, officers of the Govt. are assigned the duty to evaluate the primary schools. About 25% of the total numbers of schools in each talukas, [about 8250 schools], are designed to be reviewed. Sometimes unannounced visits also takes place. The concerned officers, in charge of reviewing the qualitative conditions of the school, are to be present there, before the school time starts and sometime after the school hours. They are supposed to share the mid-day meal, to be provided to the students and judge its quality. They also conduct meetings with the retired teaching staff and parents and guardians to make certain, to invite necessary suggestions concerning the betterment of qualitative education.
In the educational assessment, the students of std. 3 to 7, are judged from the curriculum, that is of previous year. To review, the training being imparted for Computers, Yoga and meditation, are judged by checking out of its knowledge randomly, from few students.
The usage of Library is also observed. At the moment, about 14,000 schools are facilitated with libraries. The students of std. 3 to 7, are presented with self study books, where as students of std. 6 and 7 are given map books as well as practical journals. It is ensured to keep a check on teachers, checking the home work, regularly. Mathematics, Science and Eco Club performances are also monitored. The students are encouraged to participate in the fairs and exhibitions regarding environment, mathematics and science at district and state levels.
Educational Tours provide an excellent opportunity to explore the outside world, other than the bookish knowledge and conducting such tours at nominal rates are encouraged by the Govt. Sports meet to develop physical strength and team spirit as well as to develop the qualitative breed of sports person, in the state are given prime importance.
Every school in the state is imparted with mid-day meal and quality of meal, of about 40 lakhs [out of 75 lakh students], is checked, regularly.
The facility of Water Tank, in about 29,500 schools have been provided already and about 24,500 schools have been facilitated with toilets within the premises. The provision of electricity, with ensured proper wiring is checked and assessed. The provision of garden and play ground is also observed.
The conduct of Parent-Teacher meetings are ensured regularly, and cultural programmes are held, checking the presence of parents or guardians as well as students.
The teachers as well as the principals are reviewed as per the analysis of the different activities performed during the academic year.
Such is the dedicated mode of bringing about qualitative education facilities throught the state by Shri Modiji and under his reign, Gujarat truly has achieved gracious geights..
Vande Gujarat. It has been 64 years of independence and Indian education system has developed in many folds, with numerous education institutes and courses being available, at every level. The Indian student, pursuing higher education or seeking job abroad, leaves a permanent mark of excellence, through his/her capacity to acquire greater knowledge.

Close aid blows whistle on Teesta Setalwad...
Navin Upadhyay | New Delhi
'She influenced witnesses to wrongly testify in courts'
A former close associate of social activist Teesta Setalvad has sought permission to testify before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the post-Godhra riot cases about the way she influenced the witnesses to wrongly testify before courts.
Seeking to set the record straight, Rais Khan, a former coordinator for Setalvad's NGO, Citizen for Peace and Justice (CJP), has written to SIT chief RK Raghavan and Supreme Court's Justice DK Jain denying news reports that he had tampered with the affidavits filed by Nanumiya Rasulmiya Malik, a star witness in Naroda Gaum and Madina Banu rape cases.
"I wish to state that these affidavits were not prepared by me and were sent to me by Teesta Setalvad of CJP from Mumbai for obtaining signature of witness Nanumiya. Nanumiya's allegation against me that I inserted certain paragraphs in his affidavit without his knowledge is totally false, as I never made any changes in his affidavit. Nanunuya has signed the affidavits sent by Teesta, under whom I was working during that period."
In a letter dated September 1 to SIT chief RK Raghavan, SC judge DK Jain and HS Vora, Judge Special Designated Court (SIT), Ahmedabad, Khan said, "I wish to give a statement to SIT to clarify my position on such baseless allegations and (I am) also willing to disclose how innocent witnesses and victims were misguided by Teesta Setalvad to wrongly testify before many courts." A copy of the letter is with The Pioneer.
Khan went on to add, "I am sure I may be given a chance to disclose various facts before the SIT related to not only these cases but other cases also."
In the past, Khan had also alleged that the CJP, a Mumbai-based NGO, was instrumental in organising payment of `1 lakh each to as many as 10 witnesses in various post-Godhra riot cases. The money came from the CPI(M) relief fund and was distributed months before the witnesses deposed in the courts, five years after the clashes took place. Four other eyewitnesses received `50,000 each.
The revelation had come in the backdrop of reports that a host of Gujarat riot case victims were misled into signing affidavits giving false information at the behest of CJP.
Interestingly, those who were both victims and eyewitnesses received `1 lakh and `50,000 while the victims got mere `5,000 each. This had raised eyebrows over the selection of beneficiaries and the purpose of paying a disproportionately large sum to the eyewitnesses before the trial.
Khan had at that time told The Pioneer that he had submitted the name of beneficiaries to the CPI(M) on instructions from Teesta Setalvad. "Setalvad identified the people and I merely followed her instruction and forwarded the list to CPI (M)," Khan had said.
On August 20 this year, the SIT had accused Teesta of interfering with the trial by threatening a public prosecutor (PP).
In a report submitted to the Supreme Court, the SIT said she threatened to complain to the SC against the PP for opposing an application for stay of trial by one Salim Shaikh. Setalvad had told the prosecutor on phone that he should have simply 'okayed' the application, the SIT stated.
Referring to her conversation with Meghaninagar riot case public prosecutor RC Kodekar, the apex court Bench noted, "This is serious…we will not appreciate this at all."
Meanwhile, Rais Khan has been getting threatening calls warning him not to speak against Setalvad, otherwise "he and his family will be killed". Khan even lodged a formal complaint last month at Rakhiyal police station, Ahmedabad, about the threats.

The fortitude on the occasion of Swarnim Gujarat, is expressed in a idiosyncratic manner..
Shri Modiji states..”Every Gujarati will have to vow, to advance and promote the growth of Gujarat. The resilience will bring the development, a step forward. Till 2010, such commitment, will ensure that Gujarat has been forwarded by 5.5 crore steps.
Thus, Shri Modiji, enthuses the citizens to take a soul searcher swear. In his website, www. narendramodi.in, a special compartment, has been created, that convey and inspires a reader to vouch for a determination.

Shri Modiji, has ensured three phase electricity, 24/7 to all 18065rural areas and connected 9680 suburban areas. In the record time of shortest span of 30 days, the Jyortigram Yojna has come into acceleration.
And,
Gujarat is the first state to achieve this mammoth triumph.
Now,
Gujarat concentrates on creating electricity through the usage of ocean waves and windmill.
Gujarat Govt. is determined to make certain, that economically deprived and socially downtrodden, women acquire the necessary aid from private Gynecologists. The Gujarat Govt. has started the ‘Chiranjeevi Yojna’, since Dec. 2005 and this scheme has been awarded with The Asian Innovation Award, by Wall Street Journal and The Financial Express, at Singapore.

The irreverent and cheeky conduct by Shri Sharad Pawar.. Shamelessness at its height..
The Hon. Supreme Court and the Hon. President of a nation, are the two posts considered to be of highest disposition, not only in India but any where in the world. Their smallest suggestions are considered to be honorable and put into action, immediately.
But,
Shri Sharad Pawar, claims himself to be above any kind of propositions that spelt out by any respectable agencies and has stooped down to the level of indecency, when he unequivocally and explicitly declared his non-desire to distribute the excess food grains among the people living below the poverty line.
Thus, ignoring the implication by the Hon. Supreme Court [as a rule, their hint is to be considered as an order!!!] and openly disregarding their authority.
It is surprising, the so called strong and powerful leaders of Congress, like Shri Pranab Mukharjee, Shri P. Chidambaram and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi or the Hon. P.M prefers keeping their mouth mum and eyes shut, to this impertinent and disrespectful conduct, by their senior colleague..
What is being cooked, behind the doors or does it imply, the surplus food grains, circulation of which, would prove to be a boon to the poor citizens, is being swallowed by the top brass, hand inn hand?
