Man proposes GOD disposes….
Man is essentially a thinking and acting being with wishes and desires, and he is never contended. He fulfills his one wish and immediately another one rises from its ashes like sphoenix. His desires are unlimited despite limited resources at his command. The psychologist had discovered the pyramid of human desires with the biological ones at the base to self expression at the zenith. In between there are uncountable desires and needs under several layers. This is the tragedy and beauty of human existence at the same time. Man struggles to fulfill his dreams and wishes, yet they remain elusive and distant. Sometimes his dreams are also fulfilled. There is nonetheless, no mechanism, no scientific rule which can guarantee that his dreams will be fulfilled, his needs met and his proposals disposed. Therefore mankind is confined to ever exist with his uncertainties.
“GITA” the holy book of Hindus offers a way out. According to it a man has only right to his duties. He must not contemplate upon rewards and fruits. Honest dedication with single minded devotion is all that is within his jurisdiction. The rest may best be left to the will of GOD. We may that only such man is worthy of proposing who performs his duties well and his proposals must be expressed through his work. The rest may be left to GOD, because only he has the power to dispose. We do not have even the right to think whether he will dispose or not. An honest proposal never goes undisposed. It is sufficient for us to know that GOD is all powerful, all merciful and benevolent and loves all his creatures alike. Who then, can have power of disposal if not GOD ?
If we internalize at the same time that it is very nature of man to proposes and the powers of disposing rests none other than the Almighty, the first cause, the uncaused cause, then we will have no difficulty in accepting the truth of the above given statement.

Eradicating Corruption.
The most distressing aspect of wide corruption in India India
What is most alarming and extremely disturbing about this country is that ministers are also suspected have a hand in murder. Chief Ministers of swindling crores of public money, senior police officers of molestation charges are all living in comforts and enjoying position, thus effectively exposing the fact that the crusade against corruption has finally failed in India
I hope to share with you my views in fighting corruption, which has made India India Singapore
To fight against corruption we should have the following measures in place:
a. Legislative Measures against Corruption.
b. Administrative Measures.
c. Preventive Guidelines.
d. Action against corrupt government officers.
e. Court Punishment for Corruption.
f. Departmental Punishment for Corruption.
g. Roles of Government Agencies.
Corruption is the biggest social evil of our society and we can frequently see that syndicated corruption and greasing the palms of public officers in return for the services was common. Enforcement action against the corrupted is difficult because of prevailing weak laws. Gathering of evidence was difficult because of the weak anti-corruption law and this had resulted in many corrupt public officers getting away with their crime. Most of the people generally are less educated and did not know their rights, even their fundamental rights. They were submissive in their dealings with public officers in authority and were accustomed to unfair treatment by them. Government/public officers are not adequately paid compared with those in the private sector. Many of them became indebted through lavish lifestyle. Integrity in the public service was therefore lacking and some of the public officers resorted to corruption to make ends meet. Political Leaders should create a climate of honesty and integrity, by divesting themselves from any involvement in financial or commercial ties. Any law enacted for eradicating corruption, should be reviewed regularly to ensure that offenders do not escape from legal punishment and that corruption does not pay. This includes requiring the court to order any person convicted of corruption offences to repay as penalty an amount of money equivalent to the bribe he had accepted. The concept that corruption does not pay should be further fortified by the Enactment of more Strict Laws. Those persons who without paying heed to the Laws; try to take bribe then proper action should be taken by confiscating or freezing their properties and assets obtained by corrupt offenders.
ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES
Along with the legislative measures, administrative measures should also be taken to reduce the chances of public officers from being getting involved in corruption and wrongdoings. These measures should include by removing opportunities for corruption in government work procedures by streamlining cumbersome administrative procedures; slashing down excessive red tape which provides opportunities for corruption; reviewing public officer’s salaries regularly to ensure that they are being paid adequately and comparable to that of the private sector; reminding government contractors at the time when contracts are signed that bribing public officers administering the contracts may render their contracts to be terminated and proper strict clause to this effect should form part of the contract.
PREVENTIVE GUIDELINES
Strict guidelines in the form of instructions should be taken to prevent public officers from getting involved in corruption or wrongdoings. Some of the instructions are that a public officer cannot borrow money from, or in any way put himself under a financial obligation to any person who is in any way under his official authority or has official dealings with him (as rule prevalent for an auditor); a public officer cannot use any official information to his private interest; a public officer is required to declare his assets at his first appointment and subsequently annually; a public officer cannot engage in trade or business or undertake any part-time employment without approval; a public officer cannot receive entertainment from members of public; a public officer should be required to disclose his assets ( direct or deemed assets ) properly.
EDUCATION OF PUBLIC OFFICERS ON CORRUPTION
Besides the legislative and administrative measures, regular talks should be made by appropriate authority to public officers especially those in the enforcement agencies on the pitfalls of corruption. Advice on how to avoid getting involved in corruption should also be given. A strict Anti-Corruption Act should be passed with all the relevant standards of the belonging country. Further, public officers should also be made aware of the Prevention of Corruption Act through the incorporation of the relevant provisions of the Act in the Government Instruction Manuals.
ACTION AGAINST CORRUPT PUBLIC OFFICERS
Depending on the availability of evidence, a corrupt public officer should be dealt with in any one of the two ways charging him in court if there is sufficient evidence for court prosecution or charging him departmentally if there is insufficient evidence for court prosecution. Both the giver and the receiver of a bribe are guilty of corruption and should be liable to the same punishment as a giver not only gives money, he/she also spreads an equal amount of corruption. Any person who is convicted of a corruption offence can be fined set up by government or sentenced to imprisonment as upto the rule of the country or to both. If the offence relates to a government contract or involves a Member of Parliament, the term of imprisonment should be increased as because they are being selected by people, through election keeping faith on them, that they will run the machinery of a country in an efficient manner. Besides fine and imprisonment, the person convicted of corruption offence will be ordered by the court to return the amount of bribe, which he had accepted in the form of a penalty and the amount should be utilised by government for social upliftment of those classes those who are backward till now, financially. In addition to the punishment, which the court may impose on a convicted person, the court should also be empowered to order the confiscation of the property obtained by corrupt offenders.
DEPARTMENTAL PUNISHMENT FOR CORRUPTION
A public officer if is convicted in court for a corruption offence, then he should be compelled to resign from his job and if he is a pensionable officer then he should loose his pension and other benefits as well. He should also be debarred from any future public appointment. A public officer who is convicted of a departmental charge may, depending on the severity of the charge, should receive one or a combination of the following punishments:- dismissal from the service; reduction in rank; stoppage or deferment of increment; fine or reprimand; retirement in the public interest.
CONCLUSION
No country in the world today can claim to be free from corruption. However, India
“SAY NO TO BRIBE….”

The man whom many worshiped as God despite controversy, breathed his last at the Sathya Sai Super-speciality hospital where he was admitted on March 28, with cardiac problems. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condoled Baba’s death, saying he was an inspiration to people of all faiths and that his death was an irreparable loss to all.

Some highlights of India’s 12th Five year plan (2012-2017).
 |
| Mr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia (Dy. Chairman Planning Commission, India) |
Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Mr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia has opened the growth target of 9% to 9.5% for the coming 12th five year plan (2012-2017) of India
Planning Commission has favoured further liberalisation of the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy and improvement of business regulations to raise the growth rate of gross domestic product to 9%-9.5% in the 12th five year plan (2012-17). Taking the note of weak manufacturing performance, Planning Commission emphasised the need to target a growth of 11%-12% in this sector in 12th plan period. Infrastructure constraints are the major concerns for the plan panel. Setting up of National Manufacturing investment zones and a better business regulatory framework to ensure a broad industrial base have been outlined by the plan panel. The plan panel has estimated country’s economic growth during 11th plan (2007-12) at 8.2& on an average which is lower than the original growth target of 9% set for the 11th plan period. However, the Planning Commission finds 8.2% growth as ‘remarkable’, considering the global economic downturn during 11th plan period. On micro, small and medium enterprises, the panel supported the idea of promoting clusters to enhance productivity in the sector. The Planning Commission also said that the government should target 4% growth in agriculture, during the 12th plan period. For this, farmers should be provided with better rural infrastructure, including storage and food processing facilities. The panel had also suggested expanding the Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana to develop the farm sector.

Cloning Matters.
 |
| Sir Ian Wilmut |
Cloning is an advance technological invention for producing a genetic twin of a living thing, an organism that starts life with the same genes as of its parents. In 1997, researchers at Scotland Warwickshire , England
The ethics of cloning is an extremely controversial issue. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace with there cloning occurrence during the natural process of reproduction. There are two commonly discussed types of human cloning : “ Therapeutic Cloning and reproductive Cloning “. Therapeutic cloning involves cloning cells from an adult for use in medicine and is an active area of research. Reproductive Cloning would involve making cloned humans. A third type of cloning is called “ Replacement Cloning “ is a theoretical possibility, and would be a combination of therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Every such inventions has some merits and demerits. Human cloning could be misused to destroy the existing humanity and civilization. We have seen the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the spectrum of germs and chemical warfare. Scientist, Philosophers, Thinkers, Philanthropists from all over the world spoke out against human cloning, prompted by fears that the world has taken a step further towards nightmare of humans replicated in the laboratory. The human cloning can tear the society into pieces, it can endanger the very existence of human being in this world. Advocates of human therapeutic cloning believe that the practice could provide genetically identical cells for regenerative medicine, tissues and organs would neither trigger an immune response nor require the use of Immunosuppressive drugs. Both the basic research and therapeutic development for serious disease such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes, as well as improvements in burn treatment and reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, are areas that might benefit from such new technology.
