Harish. - Original Message - From: Atul [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 11:41 PM Subject: [AI] Ranju cracks JPSC Friends, I am simply thrilled to inform that Ms. Ranju Kumari, a visually challenged person from Jamshedpur has been declared successful by Jharkhand Public Service Commission. What's more encouraging is the fact that her name had initially not appeared in the list after written examination and subsequent to judicial intervention, JPSC was forced to accept it as an omission to avoid humiliation in the court of law. Apart from all this, I have known Ranju for the last 16 years as she was the first trainee of NAB Jharkhand (earlier Bihar) when the same was activated by us in 1992. This news is very important in a region which is not at par with the rest of the country. It gives a ray of hope to many others and I attribute Ranju's success to her dedicated and tireless efforts in the face of gloomy environment. Once more someone has proved that fortune favours the brave. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Cheers AI!

Re: [AI] Disable macros question.
Hi, I am surprised at the advice that has been given to you. Reinstalling programs really fixes such problems. The answer to your problem lies in the text of the dialog box. 1. If you trust the macros of the ad in, you can check the relevant checkbox to always trust the macros and enable them. 2. You can set the macro security settings in Microsoft Word two medium or no. This however puts you at risk from malware as in you will need to be extremely careful when you get Microsoft office documents from external sources. If you don't expect macros in them, ensure that you disable macros.

Bangalore: Yahoo's map services have gone 'desi.' Last week, the Internet portal leader added interfaces in 10 languages to its Indian map and place finder utilities. The service, which can be found at http://in.maps.yahoo.com, allows users to switch from the default English to Hindi, Tamil, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi and Oriya. Users can zoom into the cities or towns of their choice. They can seek directions to go from one place to another and the detailed walking directions appear in a box alongside the map, where the route is highlighted, complete with services en route such as restaurants, ATMs or petrol pumps. The service can be accessed by anyone who has an Internet connection and also works on Net-capable mobile phones. Even if you search on a PC or laptop, you can e-mail or SMS the directions to a friend's mobile number. The Hindu tested the software simulating the experience in various parts of the country, in different languages - which one can select at the click of a button. If you opt for 'vernacular,' it switches seamlessly to the local language of the region that is being displayed. A double click zooms in for a closer view.

[AI] Subsidy crisis hits blindness control programme in State
The Hindu : Tuesday, Apr 15, 2008 Subsidy crisis hits blindness control programme in State S. Vijay Kumar and Shastry V. Mallady Subsidy not disbursed since 2003 State willing to give only Rs. 350 instead of Rs. 750 MADURAI: The ambitious National Programme for Control of Blindness under the National Rural Health Mission has run into problems in Tamil Nadu. Subsidy at the rate of Rs. 750 per free cataract surgery has not been disbursed to NGO hospitals participating in the programme since 2003, and the arrears now run to crores of rupees. To the Madurai-based Aravind Eye Hospitals alone, the government owes Rs. 11 crore for performing thousands of free surgeries over the last five years. Tired of representing to the authorities, the hospitals, which undertake at least 70 per cent of all the free cataract surgeries done in Tamil Nadu, have formed the 'Forum of Tamil Nadu NGO Eye Hospitals' to sort out the issue. It wants the subsidy arrears of more than Rs. 31 crore to be disbursed and has taken up the problem at various levels. At its request, former Central Bureau of Investigation Director D.R. Kaarthikeyan took up the issue with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who promised early action. The Union Health Ministry was apprised of the situation. We have also represented to Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who has promised to look into the matter, says P. Namperumalsamy, Chairman, Aravind Eye Hospital. Forum president R.D. Thulasiraj said the government was planning to disburse only Rs. 350 per free cataract surgery done, instead of Rs. 750. On an average, the cost of each cataract surgery works out to Rs. 1,500. While the Centrally funded programme provides for Rs. 750, the Government of Tamil Nadu wants to give only Rs. 350 out of it. He said the programme is being successfully implemented in the rest of the country. We do not want to stop this service as a majority of those who benefit from the programme belong to the below poverty line category. Even if the government does not give any money, we will continue with the free surgeries. Eradicating preventable blindness is our mission, says Dr. Namperumalsamy. NGO hospitals claimed that they were being prevented from conducting free eye camps and select patients for free cataract surgery. Recently, district blindness control officials sent telegrams at the last minute asking the Aravind Eye Hospital not to conduct eye camps planned in Nagapattinam and Virudhunagar districts. Funds required When contacted, Health Secretary V.K. Subburaj said additional funds were required as the State performed a large number of free cataract surgeries through different agencies. Besides the usual allocation, we have sought money from the Centre. Last week, the State government received a part of the allocation and it will be disbursed in 10 days, he said without elaborating on the quantum of funds received.
