I do not see the problem only at the national media, the basic problem is at
our end. If we see everything more deeply, we all are the people pulling our
state backward.
If you are thinking something creative, we need to free our next generation,
our kids, our students from any kind of intereferance. Let them study without
thinking anything else. Lets all the old students leaders joined in Politics or
do something else, get married and think something differently. This key for
the development in next ten years.
You should not allow anybody to waste their valuable time doing some
picketing, Assam Bandha etc.

Hi, all
As Sukumar has suggested, we should try to focus the creative news of our
state. It is but ironical that national media does not focus on these positive
aspects of our state. Even people from other states too are convinced that our
state is covered by thick forests and terror strikes are rampant in our state.
It is also because of the fact that most of the news covered in the entire
north eastern region are negative, and so the impact. I myself studied on
newspapers from four states - Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh.
Finally my research conclusion was that except The Assam Tribune all other news
papers put less emphasis on development news. And even if that was covered the
impression was negative.
So, at least locally we can communicate the creative aspects of our state.
The step taken by Gunaram Dangoriya and his NGO is indeed commendable. I hope,
more such initiatives would be taken in near future.

Hi, all
Really a commendable step taken by Gunaram Khanikar Dangoriya and his
NGO. Congratulations to all of them and wishing success for the
project in my terror-affected motherland.
These are the creative news we should focus in rather than on negative
news of destruction and corruption.

Imagine a well-equipped hospital carrying medical facilities to rescue
people from dreaded diseases like diabetes and cancer at your
doorstep.
It may seem impossible for people in the remote and hilly terrains of
Asom, but this is what veteran herbal medicine practitioner Gunaram
Khanikar is all set to make possible.
With a mission to take the cardinal message 'Prevention is better than
cure' to the rural masses, Mr Khanikar and his NGO, Research and
Training Centre on Indian Traditional Treatment(RTCITT), is gearing up
to open India's first Mobile Hospital of herbal medicines.
The hospital, to be launched in upper Asom's Golaghat district, would
carry herbal medicines, samples of aromatic plants found in the
region, photographs of the various herbal plants as well as books
containing information on the side-effect-free herbal medicines and
promote herbal treatment in the state.
''Our basic aim is to popularise herbal treatment among the rural
masses and collect and preserve the medicinal plants abundantly found
in the forests and jungles of the region. We want to promote the
message that prevention is better than cure,'' Managing Director of
the NGO Mr Khanikar said.
Funded by local MP Dip Gogoi, the hospital in a six-wheeler will also
take out an exhibition and a food consciousness mission to promote
healthy food habits as well as herbal medicine cultivation as
employment generation sources.
He said, ''Herbal medicines are a tried and tested treatment method
for prevention of many diseases like cancer and diabetes and the North
east is immensely rich in herbal and aromatic plants. But due to lack
of awareness we are yet to reap benefit''.
The hospital will also be accompanied by eight resource persons
comprising ayurvedic doctors and nurses who will try to provide
ayurvedic treatment among the masses and children in the schools and
colleges in the rural areas.
''Our resource persons will provide training to children and youths on
the identification of the herbal and aromatic plants and their
commercial cultivation.
We will also open a garden of herbal medicinal plants in each school
and college of the state, particularly in the rural areas,''
Mr Khanikar added
