[Goanet-news]14 JAN 2004: GOACOM DAILY NEWS CLIPPINGS
GOACOM DAILY NEWS CLIPPINGS 14 January 2004 DARE TO DREAM: 'Dream, he said. For dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result into action. Grow to become a leader. Those were the words of encouragement showered by President APJ Abdul Kalam on the special students of Sanjay School, Porvorim, on Jan 13. The president headed straight for the classrooms, answering questions and writing on the black board for them. The missile man was particularly moved by a question from a special girl, What can I do for others? Elaborating on his philosophy of life, Kalam stated, When a small child cries, it means-give me something. A teenager states to his parents and teachers-leave me alone, I will handle it, while adults say-Let's work together. (GT) VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY: President of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, yesterday (Jan 13) launched Goa Educational Development Corporation and distance education programme of Goa University/IIT Mumbai in the presence of Governor Kidar Nath Sahani, CM Manohar Parrikar and other dignitaries. Dr Kalam said the current technology development and open market economy provides more challenges for every citizen in India. He stated that with DEP programmes the number of quality teachers will grow. He also said that it is time we start looking at the possibility of creating a virtual university in India through networking of all the universities and other educational institutions for imparting universal tele-education synergizing their core competence, which would also help expansion of telecommunications and IT services. To overcome the problem of finding employment for about 30 lakh graduates generated every year, he said, our educational system should highlight the importance of entrepreneurship, which will provide them with creativity, freedom and ability to generate wealth. (GT) KALAM'S 'MISSION 2020': Stating that Goa exports iron ore to developed countries from Mormugao Port, President Kalam said if the iron ore was made into steel products in India, the country's steel production would shoot up. So there is tremendous potential to increase the production in the industrial sector, he said. The President suggested that the stress should be given on strengthening the communication network in the country. He said entire Goa can be networked with tele-education and e-governance. (NT) EMAIL TO THE PRESIDENT: The President of India Dr APJ Abdul Kalam has invited students from Goa to write to him via the website www.presidentofindia.nic.in (email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and assured a reply to their queries. (GT) KALAM'S MANTRA FOR PROGRESS: Inculcate righteousness, imbibe leadership qualities, and excel in education. That's the mantra of scientist-President Kalam for transforming India into a developed country by the year 2020. This is my mission, the President said, impressing upon the young ones the need for visualizing India as a happy, safe and peaceful country by 2020. He said, We can make a great India through good education coupled with healthcare, by developing agriculture and food processing, developing communication and infrastructure and by being self-reliant. (GT) PRESIDENT PREFERS NEEM: Dr Kalam had to answer a question on the toothpaste he uses. Five-year-old Sahanaz Banu wanted to know whether the President chooses his own toothpaste. Apparently impressed by the boy's query, he said with a smile, my preference is for neem toothpaste. (H) KIDS ENTERTAIN PRESIDENT: Children of 22 Bal Bhavan Kendras in the state and Apna Ghar-the home for the juveniles-entertained President Kalam with Goan folklore and dances at the Kala Academy. The president felicitated four 'special' children: Perpetua D'Costa, Sharon Pereira, Armelina Rodrigues and Ketan Bhobe, for binging honour and fame by winning gold and silver medals in sports and Sport Festival for Special Children held in Dublin in Ireland recently. (H) WOMAN ABANDONS BABY: A hapless mother struggling to look after her little children would move any person to lend a helping hand. The Shanke family at Old Market, Margao, was no different when a migrant woman with four children turned up at the residence on Sunday noon. The woman left her three-month old infant girl with the Shanke's, promising to take her possession later in the evening, but never to return till date. (H) SALIGAO COMUNIDADE: Dean D'Cruz was elected president of the Saligao Comunidade recently. The other elected members are Vice President Tony Rex D 'Souza, Attorney Lenny da Gama, asst Attorney Lazarus Coelho, Treasurer Eric Remedios, and Asst Treasurer Denzil Fernandes. (H) SETS HIMSELF ABLAZE: Mahesh Shirvoicar, a 22-year-old man from Chimbel, allegedly set himself ablaze after pouring kerosene over his body on January 12. He was reportedly mentally disturbed for quite some time. (H) GMS DELEGATES VISIT NRI FACILITATION CENTRE: Twenty delegates from 10 different countries, prior to their departure to their respective destinations after attending the 'Gomant

Devanagri was imposed on Goans by the liberators (just as Hindi was imposed), without the consent of the people, and ignoring the fact that at least the Christian population has no previous knowledge of it, at all.

gondu kamath [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi i am a Hindu from Goa, i read your article about Francis Xavier He was a racist and intolerant man. Although he came from a midieval culture with thoughts that Christianity alone brings salvation he did great harm to goa's history. he saw to it that our temples were destroyred and that we could not practise our Hindu faith. He felt that our gods were' heathen gods' Faith emmanates from the heart. Salvation is not up to ANY god but to oneself and how one lives their lives if at all there is a 'salvation' He did help the so called lower caste Hindus but of course only upon their conversion to a foreign faith . With no recourse left most of my Hindu ancestors had to leave Goa or give up their faith for a foreign faith and eat beef irreversibly breaking their return to their parent faith and tradition . Christianity has gone through its development to emerge as one of the most tolerant religions today .. but whenever there is a christian community they have this un ending itch to prostelyse which sours the whole ball game. i hope that one day i learn to forgive Xavier for destroying the world of my forefathers just as Christ has instructed us to do. DEV BAREN KARON p.s. I hope such intolerance does not ever come upon the fair land of goa and i hope that my fellow Hindu bretheren respect all faiths as much as we do ours. govind kamat ==response from jose colaco === Dear Mr. Kamath, It is not rare for me to receive propaganda mail from brainwashed folks . I often let it ride but today is a Tuesday a day I like to write. So let me take you up (politely) on a few of your points. You did call Francis Xavier a murderer. Do you have ANY proof that Francis Xavier murdered anybody? If you are about to refer to the mantra about the Horrible Inquisition (which I condemn), may I draw your attention to the oft forgotten fact that Francis Xavier was dead a good 9 years before the Inquisition came to Goa. (1) The other RSS talking points about SFX and the Inquisition are discussed in the following article http://www.colaco.net/1/InquiForeword.htm The Catholic Church must apologize for the very unholy Inquisition during which many people were tortured and sent to their fiery deaths. MAY I remind you of SATI where millions of widows were sent to their premature death by Hindus - before the Portuguese banned it in Goa! I know that NOW you will definitely call the Hindu Brahmins, murderers! * I also hope that you will write a word or two about the Caste System and the 1000s of years of demeaning that Hindu Brahmins organised - for the under classes and Outcastes.

But starting on Friday in Bombay, Hinduism's centuries-old social hierarchy will be a focus of fury for thousands of global activists. * About the destroyed temples, I condemn ALL people who destroy temples, mosques churches. BTW, you might be interested in the following: (4) http://www.colaco.net/3/PravinViolentHinduKings.htm Post Ashoka, Buddhism, its followers and shrines, were attacked by the then violent, feudal Hindu kings.

(5) http://www.colaco.net/3/PravinHumane.htm How do you explain the near disappearance of Buddhism from India (widespread during Emperor Ashoka's time)? ** About beef-eating: Well.you are talking to a non-beef eater. But where did you get this idea that Hindus were originally non-beef eaters i.e. before the Buddhists came on the scene.

[Goanet-news]12 JAN 2004: GOACOM DAILY NEWS CLIPPINGS
GOACOM DAILY NEWS CLIPPINGS 12 January 2004 TREMORS FELT IN CANACONA: The villagers of Poinguinim and nearby areas in Canacona taluka yesterday (Jan 11) experienced mild tremors even as the Indian Meteorological department said that light disturbances were recorded in their chart. According to the villagers, the earthquake like tremors were experienced by them at round 2.20 pm and most of them immediately ran out of their houses for safety. The Observatory, however, could not find anything like an earthquake on their chart and suspected that disturbance could be due to the use of explosives in the nearby mining areas. (GT) GOA'S HIGH RATING ON TV SHOW: Goa has something more to crow about-a high rating in a Report Card put out by the SAB TV. Goa is already ahead of the nation in some terms and would like to set itself higher targets than the rest of India, the Chief Minister suggested, in an interview telecast repeatedly on Sunday (Jan 11). It's already ahead of some 2011 targets, the Chief Minister told the interviewer. SAB TV showed visuals of different cultures and religion, visiting tourists, and the local peacefulness. (H) PROPERTY GUTTED IN PANAJI: The overheating of an electrical motor in the aquarium shop in the Panaji Municipal garden opposite Manvins Hotel, caused a loss of Rs.16.5 lakh on 10 Jan night. Alifanio Mendes, who owns the aquarium, complained that he suffered a loss of Rs.2.5 lakh, while Nav Ratan Electric Company owner Narbath Singh of Rajasthan said that he suffered maximum loss, which was estimated to be about Rs.14 lakh. (GT) COW SHEDS ABLAZE: In a fire accident reported at Pipalwada-Amona in Bicholim, two cowsheds were gutted claiming the life of one animal while another animal in the shed suffered injuries. (NT) CITY WASTE FOR MINE DUMP: A mining company (Dempo) and an NGO (Goa Foundation) are coming together in a new role to use garbage to nurture the afforestation of a devastated patch in a mining area. The waste from the Mapusa Municipality is being transported to the site (in Bicholim) and composted to make organic manure for the regreening process. At present, Mapusa Municipal Council does not have a proper site to dispose off the waste, so a part of the compostable variety will go to Bicholim. (GT) COCONUT PLUCKING EASIER NOW: Coconut plucking may no longer be a formidable task in Goa, now with coconut plucking devices being promoted by the Department of Agriculture. Some 60 people were trained this year to handle the coconut plucking device. Spraying of coconuts, identification for pests and cleaning of coconut trees atop was also a part of the training programme. The device costs Rs.1,100 but was given free of cost to the trainees. (H) GAMBLING ACTIVITIES ON THE RISE: In the recent weeks, festive season is in full flow in the Pernem taluka with fairs being the order of the day. While it is a joyous occasion eagerly awaited by young and old in the village, the occasion itself provides an ideal opportunity for gamblers to be at their 'business' after a long recess. Sadly, gambling has now been invariably associated with fairs. (GT) PANJIM, GARDEN CITY OF GOA? Church Square Garden, Mermaid Garden, Menezes Braganza Garden, Salvador de Souza Garden, Francisco Luis Gomes Garden at Campal.The Corporation of the City of Panaji boasts of having the highest number of gardens/traffic islands and open spaces in the entire State. The Corporation of Panaji has dedicated the year 2003 to the maintenance and greening of this beautiful capital city. (Daniel D'Souza in Herald) ART AT FONTAINHAS: Some are nonagenarians, others just out of their teens. There are local artists, others drawn to Goa from across the country and across international boundaries. Some are Goan expats who have scoured the world for decades, now back home. (H) MAPUSA COMUNIDADE: It was a cake-walk for the panel put up by the outgoing attorney Michael Carrasco and president Agnel Braganza, as their panel was elected unopposed on January 11. The following members were elected as the new managing committee for 2004-2007: president Victor D'Mello, substitute president Clemente D'Souza (Vithal), treasurer Seraphian D'Souza, substitute treasurer Valerian Carrasco, attorney Savio Carrasco and substitute attorney Gregorio Braganza. (H) BOOK RELEASED: The Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly, Mr Vishwas Satarkar released a book Jitya Kudichi Devi Shree Mandodari, written by Mr RV Phadte, at a function held on the banks of the Mandodari Lake, in Talewada, Betqui, on January 11. The book traces the history and folk tales on Mandodari Lake and origin of people of surname Phadte, who have settled at Talewade Bequi coming from Verna during the colonial rule. (NT) THE AGITATION THAT BROUGHT IN 'HALF TICKET': On January 11, 1979, the students of Goa created history. Goa became the first state in India to declare a blanket 50 per cent concession in bus fare on any intra-state route. The decision negotiated by the State
[Goanet]INVITATION to VHAG Workshop on Rational Use of Drugs
-- Documented by Goa Desc Resource Centre Ph:2252660 Website: www.goadesc.org Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Press Clippings on the web: http://www.goadesc.org/mem/ -- - INVITATION to VHAG Workshop on Rational Use of Drugs - WORKSHOP ON RATIONAL USE OF DRUGS on Sunday 18th January 2004 9.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. HOTEL THE MAJESTIC, PORVORIM GOA Organised by: Voluntary Health Association of Goa (VHAG) in collaboration with Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA) Goa State Branch. Rational use of Drugs: Means that the patients receive medications appropriate to their clinical needs, in doses that meet their own requirement, for an adequate period of time, and at lowest cost for them and their community.- W.H.O. Unfortunately, irrational drugs and combinations, banned and bannable drugs and combinations however continue to flourish in India. We have around 5,000 drugs and combinations whereas most essential drugs lists recommend no more than 350. Even though most drugs and combinations may not be considered rational they are heavily promoted, widely prescribed, and consumed, bringing considerable monetary burden on the public as well as the exchequer, and of course doing harm in terms of unnecessary and toxic effects! The W.H.O. had initiated efforts to promote rational drug use in 1977 with the introduction of the concept of essential Drugs. Subsequently, this list has been revised every few years 8 times. The idea behind this concept is that a limited number of medicines would lead to a better supply of medicines, better prescribing, lower health care cost. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Delhi have generated their own list of essential drugs in line with this policy, and are drawing considerable success. The present workshop seeks to put before the participants irrational drugs, irrational prescribing behaviours and cost and damage involved, concept of Rational Use of Drugs, Rational Drug Policies, etc. The workshop thus seeks to enlighten the participants, so that they could explore, and then draw up an agenda for need and implementation of a Rational Drug Policy for Goa. THE FACULTY: The faculty for the workshop are two eminent activists in the field of Rational Drug Promotion and Drug Policies with long years of experience. DR. VISHWAS RANE : is associated with the Rational Drug Movement since 1972 and has also been involved in movements for Rational Drug Policy, National Health Policy.

She has coordinated initiated the low cost Drugs Rational Therapeutics Activities and issues related to Rational Drug Use. She is the coordinator of AIDAN Both Dr. Rane Dr. Shiva have authored the book Banned Bannable Drugs. PARTICIPANTS: This interactive workshop seeks to invite a wide range of participants, who could be, or could get to be interested in a Rational Drug Use promotion programme.

Re: [Goanet]Colonial Goa and Portugal
I wonder if a comparision would be made of several countries during the 50's and 60's with reference to Goa in terms of economics, was the west not depressed after the 2nd world war? The invasion of Goa clearly benefitted bharat from the sale of iron ore with Japan being its main buyer. In the 50's bharat hardly had any foreign exchange. So in the 60's it was the sale of iron ore, than came drugs for toursim, remittance from the gulf. All this has helped to prop the bharat union. What are the return for Goa? Crime, corruption, religious bigotry, Goan losing jobs, failed policies, unplanned development? With reference to Portugal, it had enough resources in Angola and Mozambique to support Goa. Oh we forget about the port of Mormugao and the Airport that has benefitted the bharati economy and its invading army. B. Colaco Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly...Ping your friends today!
