Vacancy in Maharashtra: पशुपालन विभाग में होगी 2,795 पशुधन विकास अधिकारियों की भर्ती

Vacancy in Maharashtra: महाराष्ट्र सरकार के पशुपालन विभाग को और अधिक सशक्त और कार्यक्षम बनाने की दिशा में पशुसंवर्धन मंत्री पंकजा मुंडे ने एक अहम और दूरगामी कदम उठाया है। उन्होंने विभाग में लंबे समय से रिक्त पड़े पशुधन विकास अधिकारी (Livestock Development Officer – LDO) समूह ‘अ’ के 2,795 पदों को भरने का निर्णय लिया है। इसके लिए उन्होंने महाराष्ट्र लोकसेवा आयोग (MPSC – Maharashtra Public Services Commission) को प्रस्ताव भेजा है, ताकि जल्द से जल्द भर्ती प्रक्रिया शुरू की जा सके।

पशुपालन विभाग में खाली पड़े पदों से प्रभावित हो रहा था कामकाज

मंत्री मुंडे ने बताया कि राज्य के पशुपालन विभाग में कुल 4,684 स्वीकृत पद हैं, जिनमें से वर्तमान में केवल 1,886 पद ही भरे हुए हैं, जबकि 2,798 पद लंबे समय से खाली हैं। इसके अलावा 31 दिसंबर 2025 तक 8 अधिकारी रिटायर होने वाले हैं, जिससे खाली पड़े पदों की संख्या बढ़कर 2,806 हो जाएगी। इतनी बड़ी संख्या में खाली पदों के कारण विभाग के कार्यों पर प्रतिकूल असर पड़ रहा था, खासकर ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में, जहां पशुपालन किसानों की आय का प्रमुख स्रोत है।

Vacancy in Maharashtra: ग्रामीण इलाकों पर रहेगा फोकस

पशुधन विकास अधिकारी का पद ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में विशेष महत्व रखता है। ये अधिकारी न केवल पशुपालकों को तकनीकी सहायता देते हैं, बल्कि दुग्ध उत्पादन, टीकाकरण, कृत्रिम गर्भाधान, पशु चिकित्सा सेवाओं और रोग नियंत्रण जैसे अहम काम भी संभालते हैं। इन पदों के रिक्त होने से किसानों को समय पर सेवाएं नहीं मिल पा रही थीं, जिससे उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति पर भी असर हो रहा था। मंत्री पंकजा मुंडे ने इस गंभीर समस्या को संज्ञान में लेते हुए तुरंत कार्रवाई की है।

Vacancy in Maharashtra: प्रतीक्षासूची से 11 पदों पर भर्ती शुरू

मंत्री ने यह भी बताया कि जाहिरात क्रमांक 12/2022 के तहत बनी प्रतीक्षासूची में से 11 योग्य उम्मीदवारों की भर्ती प्रक्रिया शुरू कर दी गई है। इससे यह स्पष्ट होता है कि सरकार भर्ती प्रक्रिया को लेकर गंभीर और तत्पर है। अब शेष 2,795 पदों के लिए नया प्रस्ताव MPSC को भेजा गया है, ताकि व्यापक स्तर पर योग्य और प्रशिक्षित उम्मीदवारों की नियुक्ति की जा सके।

विभाग की कार्यक्षमता में आएगा सुधार

मंत्री मुंडे ने भरोसा जताया कि जब ये सभी पद भर दिए जाएंगे, तब विभाग की कार्यक्षमता में महत्वपूर्ण सुधार आएगा। खासकर ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों के पशुपालकों और किसानों को बेहतर, तेज और समयबद्ध सेवाएं मिलेंगी। इससे न केवल विभाग का प्रदर्शन सुधरेगा, बल्कि राज्य के पशुपालकों की आय में भी वृद्धि होगी, जो केंद्र और राज्य सरकार की ‘डबल इनकम’ नीति के अनुरूप है।

भविष्य में और भी सुधार की उम्मीद

मंत्री पंकजा मुंडे ने यह भी संकेत दिया कि आने वाले समय में पशुपालन विभाग में तकनीकी सशक्तिकरण, डिजिटल सेवा प्रणाली और आधुनिक प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रमों के माध्यम से और भी सुधार लाए जाएंगे। विभागीय कर्मचारियों की संख्या बढ़ने से इन योजनाओं को प्रभावी ढंग से ज़मीन पर उतारा जा सकेगा। यह निर्णय महाराष्ट्र सरकार के पशुपालन क्षेत्र को नई दिशा देगा। बड़ी संख्या में पशुधन विकास अधिकारियों की नियुक्ति से विभाग को नई ऊर्जा मिलेगी और ग्रामीण अर्थव्यवस्था को मजबूती मिलेगी। मंत्री पंकजा मुंडे के इस कदम की सराहना की जा रही है, क्योंकि यह निर्णय न केवल प्रशासनिक दृष्टि से अहम है, बल्कि ग्रामीण समाज और किसानों की भलाई के लिए भी बेहद महत्वपूर्ण है।

Mumbai Study Centre

Mumbai’s first first air-conditioned study centre inaugurated for underprivileged students in Colaba on 7 April 2025. The initiative is a collaborative effort of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and funded by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributions, aims to help provide a nurturing atmosphere for students hailing from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The centre is situated at Captain Prakash Pethe Marg, next to Budhwar Park’s main signal, and is expected to benefit hundreds of students living in nearby slum areas such as Shiv Shakti Nagar, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Nagar, Garib Janata Nagar, and Steel Godown.

The study centre can accommodate up to 30 students at a time and remains operational every day from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Equipped with benches for sitting and drinking water facilities, it provides an ideal peaceful and comfortable atmosphere for studying, especially during the hot summer months of Mumbai.

“The scheme was the brainchild of Speaker of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Rahul Narwekar. We intend to duplicate such centres across the city to benefit more such communities,” said Makarand Narwekar, the former Colaba corporator.

A Lifeline for Aspiring Students

The study centre has received positive reviews from students, who find it an oasis of relief for their providing a living environment. According to Aryan Gupta, who at 18 years of age was preparing for the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exam in commerce, “Studying for 4-5 hours at a stretch in this heat is not possible. This AC centre is a blessing.” Aryan wishes to prepare for Chartered Accountancy (CA) exams after passing his 12th grade this year, and feels this centre will highly assist him in achieving that.

The initiative sets sights on aspirants preparing for state service commission exams and other competitive examination civil service. The centre hopes to ameliorate their chances of success by providing an environment free from distraction. This is a project that reiterates the importance of working towards the closure of the educational divide and empowering underprivileged cohorts with opportunities to realise their academic potential.

This development is one of the various initiatives that BMC is undertaking through its CSR to mitigate some of the social issues in collaboration with corporates. Under the provisions of the Companies Act, it is a mandate for corporations to spend 2% of their net profits for the purpose of social and environmental causes. The CSR Cell in BMC has promoted these partnerships, leading to the successful realisation of impactful projects like this study centre.

As an air-conditioned learning centre for the unprivileged in Mumbai, the Colaba centre has set a footprint for similar upcoming activities in urban educational reform. It is a progression toward establishing an equitable learning environment where every student, irrespective of socio-economic status, can aspire to defend their dreams.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heatwave warning in Delhi-NCR for the next two days. The IMD also warned that the temperature across northern and central states – including Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat including the national capital Delhi can reach up to 40 degree Celsius.

“We have issued a heatwave warning in Delhi-NCR for the next two days. On 11th April, there is a probability of light rainfall. We have issued a red alert for heatwave in Rajasthan. The temperatures during the day and night will be extremely high. The situation will improve after 48 hours. There will be light rainfall in the Himalayas for the next 4-5 days, ” IMD Scientist Dr Naresh Kumar told news agency ANI on Tuesday.

Barmer, Rajasthan touches 45.6 degrees

However, not just Delhi, Gujrat, Rajasthan, Haryana Chandigarh and Punjab will also experience heatwave conditions in the coming 4-5 days. Rajasthan is expected to experience severe heatwave conditions in several parts of the state till April 9. On Monday, the highest maximum temperature was recorded in Barmer at 45.6 degrees.

Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh will not only have heatwave conditions during the day but will also experience warm nights till April 10. Hot and humid weather conditions are expected in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Goa and Kerala as well.

What is heatwave?

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), “A heatwave can be defined as a period where local excess heat accumulates over a sequence of unusually hot days and nights. Heatwaves consist of period of abnormally hot weather that can last from a few days to months where the maximum and minimum temperatures are unusually high to a location. The minimum temperature is as important as the maximum temperature, as cooler nights allow the body to recover and if the nights are unusually hot, higher temperatures will be reached earlier in the day and last for longer.”

How to stay safe in heatwave?

Avoid venturing outdoors especially during the afternoon when the temperature is the highest

Stay hydrated, drink a lot of water at regular intervals

If you are feeling tired while being outdoors during the hottest parts of the day, rest in the shade

While venturing out, use sunscreen lotion, try to stay in the shade and cover your head with a hat or umbrella for protection.

If you are stepping outdoors, carry a water bottle and hand towel.

During a heatwave, wear light and loose clothes especially those made of cotton because it helps reduce heat rashes and absorbs sweating. Similarly, use cotton bed sheets at home.

Provide shade and water to stray animals, they are helpless

पकड़ा गया दमोह का फर्जी लंदन रिटर्न डॉक्टर, सात मौतों का ज़िम्मेदार

Dr N John Ken Damoh
Dr N John Ken Damoh
Damoh के Mission Hospital में हुई 7 मौतों के आरोपी लंदन रिटर्न डॉक्टर नरेंद्र यादव को पुलिस ने प्रयागराज से पकड़ लिया है। अब उससे पूछताछ की जा रही है, जिसमें उसकी करतूतें खुल कर सामने आ रही है। चौंकाने वाली बात तो ये है कि इसी डॉक्टर ने साल 2006 में छत्तीसगढ़ के पूर्व विधानसभा अध्यक्ष राजेंद्र प्रसाद शुक्ल का भी ऑपरेशन किया था,  जिसके बाद उनकी मौत हो गई थी।

Damoh का Doctor Death

Damoh के Mission Hospital में पदस्थापित रहे कथित तौर पर लंदन रिटर्न Doctor Narendra Yadav की करतूतें धीरे-धीरे ही सही, सामने आ रही हैं। राहत की बात ये है कि Damoh पुलिस की टीम ने आरोपी Dictor नरेंद्र यादव को Prayagraj से हिरासत में ले लिया है और उससे पूछताछ की जा रही है। YAdav की गिरफ़्तारी के बाद अब ये बात भी सामने आ रही है, कि इसी डॉक्टर ने साल 2006 में छत्तीसगढ़ के पूर्व विधानसभा अध्यक्ष राजेंद्र प्रसाद शुक्ल की सर्जरी भी की थी, जिसमें उनकी मौत हो गई थी। अब उनके बेटे हाईकोर्ट के सेवानिवृत्त जस्टिस अनिल शुक्ला ने पूरे मामले की न्यायिक जांच कराने की मांग की है। दूसरी तरफ राष्ट्रीय मानवाधिकार आयोग ने भी इस मामले पर रिपोर्ट मांगी है।

Damoh: ज़िंदगी देने वाले ने दी मौत

दरअसल Damoh में एक नामी अस्पताल है- नाम है Mission Hospital! यहां बीते दिनों लंदन के नामी कार्डियोलॉजिस्ट ‘Dr N John Ken’ के नाम पर 15 मरीजों के ऑपरेशन किए गए। लेकिन असल में ऑपरेशन कर रहा था एक फर्ज़ी डॉक्टर – डॉ. नरेंद्र यादव, उर्फ Narendra John Ken। उसने कुछ दिनों के अंतराल में ये सारे ऑपरेशन किए। आरोप है कि इसमें से 7 मरीजों की मौत हो गई, जिसमें से दो मरीजों की मौत की तो पुष्टि भी हो चुकी है। दूसरे शब्दों में कहें तो जिस अस्पताल में मरीजों को ज़िंदगी मिलनी थी, वहां कथित तौर पर मौत की Practice हो रही थी। Damoh के इसी अस्पताल में आरोपी Doctor ने बीते 15 जनवरी को रहिसा बेगम का ऑपरेशन किया था। Damoh की रहीसा बेगम को 12 जनवरी को सीने में दर्द होने के कारण पहले उन्हें जिला अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया। इसके बाद उन्हें उनके परिजन मिशन अस्पताल ले आए। अस्पताल ने उनसे जांच के नाम पर 50 हजार रुपये लिए और बताया कि रहिसा के दो नसों में 90 प्रतिशत ब्लॉकेज है, लिहाजा ऑपरेशन करना होगा। 15 जनवरी को ऑपरेशन हुआ, जिसके बाद उनकी मौत हो गई। रहिसा के बेटे नबी कुरैशी बताते हैं कि जब हम डॉक्टर से इलाज के बारे में पूछने गए तो वो भाग गया। इसी तरह का वाक़या 4 फरवरी को मंगल सिंह के साथ हुआ। Damoh में पटेरा ब्लॉक के रहने वाले मंगल सिंह को 4 फरवरी को Acidity की तकलीफ हुई थी। उनका बेटा उन्हें मिशन अस्पताल लेकर आया। वहां एंजियोग्राफी करने के बाद बताया गया कि हार्ट का ऑपरेशन करना होगा। परिजनों की सहमति पर ऑपरेशन हुआ और मंगल सिंह की मौत हो गई। दिवंगत मंगल सिंह के बेटे जितेन्द्र सिंह के मुताबिक उनसे इंजेक्शन मंगवाया गया था लेकिन वो लगाया ही नहीं गया। जब उन्होंने मौत की वजह जानने के लिए पोस्टमॉर्टम की बात उठाई तो डॉक्टरों ने कहा कि ऑपरेशन हो गया है, क्यों शरीर की चीरफाड़ करा रहे हो? शव ले जाओ। इसी तरह से बुधा अहिरवाल, इस्राइल खान और दसोंदा रैकवार जैसे 15 मरीजों का ऑपरेशन किया गया जिसमें से 7 की मौत संदिग्ध हालत में हो गई।

फर्जी डॉक्टर का विवादों से पुराना नाता

कुल मिलाकर इस कथित डॉक्टर ने सिर्फ इलाज नहीं किया, बल्कि एक के बाद एक आम लोगों के शरीरों पर Practice की। 15 दिल के मरीजों की सर्जरी की, जिनमें 7 की मौत हो गई। इनके परिवार वाले इलाज की फाइल मांगते रहे लेकिन अस्पताल ने उन्हें कोई Case File नहीं दी। Damoh जिले में भी स्वास्थ्य महकमे को चलाने वालों को इसकी शिकायत मिली 20 फरवरी को, लेकिन नोटिस भेजा गया पूरे 40 दिन बाद! अब जब इस नकली डॉक्टर का राज खुल चुका हा, अस्पताल ज़िम्मेदारियों का ठीकरा प्लेसमेंट एजेंसी पर फोड़ रहे हैं। अस्पताल प्रशासन का कहना है कि आरोपी ने उनके यहां भी चोरी की है। छानबीन हुई तो पता चला कि आरोपी Doctor का आधार कार्ड पर नाम है- नरेंद्र विक्रमादित्य यादव, और वो देहरादून का रहने वाला है। डिग्रियों के नाम पर उसके पास एक MBBS की डिग्री आंध्र प्रदेश से है। उसके बाद तीन MD और Cardiology की डिग्रियां – बिना किसी रजिस्ट्रेशन नंबर के हैं।
बताया गया कि उसने कलकत्ता, दार्जिलिंग और UK से कथित तौर पर डिग्रियां ली हैं। बहरहाल इतने लोगों की मौत के बाद, CMHO कोतवाली पहुंचे और अब जाकर आरोपी डॉक्टर के खिलाफ मामला दर्ज हुआ है। ये पहला मामला नहीं है, जब डॉक्टर नरेंद्र यादव विवादों में घिरा हो। साल 2006 में बिलासपुर के बड़े निजी अस्पताल में भी ऐसी ही घटना हुई थी। उस वक्त छत्तीसगढ़ के पूर्व विधानसभा अध्यक्ष राजेंद्र प्रसाद शुक्ल की सर्जरी करते समय उनकी मौत हो गई थी। परिजनों का आरोप है कि उस ऑपरेशन को भी नरेंद्र ने ही अंजाम दिया था। इस मामले में अपोलो बिलासपुर के जनसंपर्क अधिकारी देवेश गोपाल का कहना है कि काफी पुरानी बात है, 18-19 साल पुराने  दस्तावेज चेक करने के बाद ही वे कुछ बता पाएंगे। उस वक्त क्या हुआ था ये डॉक्यूमेंट्स देखने के बाद ही पता चलेगा।
अब सवाल ये नहीं है कि डॉक्टर फर्ज़ी था, सवाल ये है कि उसे फर्ज़ी इलाज करने की छूट किसने दी? वो लोग जो भरोसे के पहरेदार थे, या वो, जिन्हे धरती पर ज़िंदगी के फरिश्तों का दर्ज़ा दिया गया है? और आज जब कई लोगों की मौत हमारे सामने है, तो क्या कोई सिस्टम ज़िम्मेदारी लेगा? या फिर ये कहानी भी अकाल मौत की गोद में समाए लोगों के न्याय के इंतज़ार में फाइलों में बंद हो जाएगी?

Punjab, India: In a significant step toward digital empowerment, Centrient Pharmaceuticals India Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with Computer Shiksha, a nonprofit organization, to provide free computer literacy to underserved students in Punjab. This initiative aimed to equip 25,000 students across 100 schools with essential digital skills, fostering education and future career opportunities.

With schools in underserved communities often lacking access to computer labs, trained teachers, and digital learning resources, this collaboration is bridging the digital divide. Under the program, 30,777 students in 100 schools have already begun their digital literacy journey, surpassing the initial target of 25,000 students. The project was completed successfully with around 10% of the total students from the aspirational district of Ferozepur alone. Some of schools participating in this initiative include Govt Adarsh Secondary School, Kot Dhandal, Gurdaspur; GSSS, Mallan Wala, Ferozepur; Govt Senior Secondary School, Haibowal Khurd, Ludhiana; and Govt Senior Secondary Smart School, Model Town, Patiala.

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Devvesh Srivastav, Country President, Global HR Director–Tech OP & Regional HR Head– APAC said, “At Centrient, we believe in making a meaningful impact beyond healthcare by supporting initiatives that empower communities. Through this partnership with Computer Shiksha, we aim to enhance digital literacy and provide students with the foundational skills needed for the modern world. Education is a key driver of progress, and we are proud to be a part of this transformative journey.”

Computer Shiksha, an 80G and 12A-certified non-profit organization, has been dedicated to providing free foundational computer literacy to schools that lack the infrastructure and resources for digital education. The initiative ensures that students gain hands-on experience with computers and practical knowledge to help them in academics and beyond.

Dr. Rakesh Suri, Founder President of Computer Shiksha expressed his gratitude for the collaboration, stating, “This partnership with Centrient Pharmaceuticals is a game-changer for thousands of students who previously had no access to digital education. By bringing structured and engaging computer literacy programs to these schools, we are preparing young minds for a future where digital competency is essential. We are thankful to Centrient for their support in making this vision a reality.”

The impact of this initiative extends beyond the classroom, as students develop essential computer skills that enhance their learning capabilities and future employability. By addressing the lack of digital education resources in these schools, the partnership between Centrient Pharmaceuticals and Computer Shiksha is paving the way for a more inclusive and digitally empowered society.

As the initiative progresses, the goal remains to expand reach, ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to acquire vital digital skills. With an ambitious target of transforming 100 schools, the program is set to make a lasting difference in Punjab’s educational landscape.

Punjab Police Arrest Two in Grenade Attack on BJP Leader Manoranjan Kalia’s Residence

Punjab Police made two arrests that included a Pakistan-based gangster following the grenade attack on BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia’s Jalandhar house. Early on Tuesday morning, the blast occurred outside Kalia’s house, leading to destruction in that area. The explosion damaged windows, an SUV, and a motorcycle, but the former Punjab minister within the premises escaped without injury.

Police Disclose the Situation

Special DGP (Law and Order) Arpit Shukla disclosed during the police investigation that Pakistan’s ISI and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) carried out a substantial conspiracy together. Zeeshan Akhtar who works with Lawrence Bishnoi and the Pakistani gangster Shahzad Bhatti served as the main attackers according to Shukla. Police investigators discovered the e-rickshaw through which the criminal activity was performed.

Kalia fell asleep shortly before the explosion and first thought the noise was thunder. After the explosion, he became aware that an explosive device had been launched against his home. The bomb attack damaged numerous areas of the property together with its glass windows and vehicles located in the courtyard. Kalia expressed satisfaction with the investigation process while asking authorities to check if the arrested individuals also participated in state-wide attacks.

Recently, Punjab has been Facing Many Grenade Attacks

Punjab has faced grenade attacks throughout the few previous months. At least 16 grenade attacks have targeted different sites in Punjab starting from mid-October 2024 including police stations, civilian houses, religious institutions, and political leaders. The recent grenade attacks have established serious doubts about the deteriorating law and order in the area.

Reacting to the blast, Kalia blamed the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab government for the growing security concerns in the state. He expressed his belief that the government was failing in its duty to ensure peace, especially in the face of potential cross-border threats from Pakistan. The BJP, too, condemned the attack, accusing the state government of neglecting its responsibilities in maintaining law and order.

A Mumbai court has re-issued a bailable warrant against actor Malaika Arora after she failed to appear as a witness in the case. This is the second such warrant issued against Malaika in the case. The case dates back to 2012 when an NRI businessman had accused Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan of hitting him in the nose at a five-star hotel in Mumbai.

The court first issued a bailable warrant against Arora on February 15. It was re-issued on Monday as the actress failed to turn up before the court. As the actress failed to appear again, the court reissued the bailable warrant of Rs 5,000, and sought a warrant report to be submitted by April 29. The testimony of witnesses in the case was recorded in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (Esplanade court) K S Zanwar.

What happened in 2012?

Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan along with few of his friends and family member had gone for dinner at a hotel in Mumbai’s Colaba area on February 22, 2012 when Khan allegedly got into a scuffle with another customer at the restaurant.

According to Mumbai Police, on February 22, 2012, a South African national and NRI named Iqbal Mir Sharma, filed a complaint at Colaba Police Station against Saif Ali Khan, Amrita’s husband, Shakil Ladakh, and their friend, Bilal Amrohi. The complainant had alleged that Saif Ali Khan had punched his nose, leading to a fracture. The NRI businessman also accused Saif and his friends of hitting his father-in-law Raman Patel.

Charges against Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan and two other accused were arrested following a complaint filed by the businessman – Iqbal Mir Sharma. The three were later released on bail.
Saif, on the other hand, claimed that Sharma made provocative statements and used abusive language against the women accompanying him, which led to the ruckus. Saif and his two friends – Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi – have been charge-sheeted under section 325 (assault) of the Indian Penal Code.
The trial in the case has begun, with three witnesses having deposed so far. Next hearing for the case is on April 29.
