Mysuru:

A one-day workshop on ‘Agricultural Finance Management’ organised by Prasar Bharati – India’s Public Service Broadcaster, All India Radio (AIR), Mysuru, on the eve of Radio Kisan Divas, began at Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) auditorium, Manasagangotri, this morning.

Speaking after inaugurating the workshop, M.A. Ahmed, Station Director, AIR, Bengaluru, said that AIR Mysuru ‘Kisan Vani’ programme has been a hit among the farming community.

Giving a brief on the objective of observance of Radio Kisan Diwas, Ahmed said that the programme has enabled the farmers to get clarifications for their doubts and problems. He called upon the farming community to maintain a balance between expenses and income and to utilise available resources in a most judicious manner.

Karnataka Agriculture Price Commission Chairman Dr. T.N. Prakash Kammaradi, who delivered the keynote address, explained the meaning, scope and significance of agricultural finance. Pointing out that Agricultural finance deals with the financial aspects of farm business, including macro and micro financial aspects of an agricultural economy, he observed that such workshops, seminars, etc., will help the farming community to improve productivity, increase profitability and fulfil their long term goals.

Since Indian Agriculture is capital intensive, the farmers’ dependence on lending Institutions, such as banks, has considerably risen, Kammaradi said and called upon the lending institutions to come together with society in setting an overall framework in which the individual farmer can appropriately manage his finances.

Noting that natural disasters and other calamities have put the farmers at great risk with crop loss and un-remunerative prices, he expressed displeasure over media’s hyped reporting whenever prices of agricultural and horticultural commodities shoot up and at the same time remaining silent when prices of agricultural produces crash, resulting in great loss to farmers.

He called upon banks and other financial institutions to chalk out the best cash flow analysis that helps the farmers in determining period wise quantum of loans needed and a proper repayment channel that benefits the farming community.

Stating that agricultural production in the country stands at 250 million tonne per year, he called upon the farming community to judiciously use farm savings and not to spend on unproductive assets.

Hyderabad, TELANGANA :

Uppugada, Hyderabad :

Fahad Bin Abdul Samad from Uppuguda set a record on Thursday when he became the youngest municipal councillor in the country to take oath.

At 21, Mr. Fahad beat his nearest rival by 4,000 votes on AIMIM ticket to get elected to GHMC’s Council of 150 corproators. He attributes his entrance into politics and early electoral success to his father, a former corporator of the ward, and his party leaders. The minimum age to contest in a local election is 21 years.

“The party was keen on promoting educated youngsters. Doctors, pharmacists and engineers are today among those elected from AIMIM,” said Mr. Fahad, who is pursuing his final year of civil engineering. Entry into politics was a pleasant surprise for the youngster who said he had to drop his plans for education abroad.

“I had planned to pursue masters abroad. But I will now pursue education here,” he said, quickly adding that politics and education will not clash. “Nearly a third of my ward comprises people under poverty line. Besides discharging regular duties of a corporator to ensure civic infrastructure, I want to help the poor get education,” he said.

Where the Credit Goes to Human Generosity

Aurangabad, MAHARASHTRA :
A recently launched Roti Bank that feeds the hungry has become a huge success in Aurangabad.
 

RotiBankMPOs02feb2016

An unusual food bank in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, which feeds the poor and the hungry with fresh food supplied by its ‘depositors’ has seen its membership double in less than two months of being operational.

This initiative has been launched by 38-year-old Yusuf Mukati, who opened the doors of the bank on 5 December with 250 members. Depositors had to fill out a form with their details and were given a specific code, which is akin to a bank account. The details of the depositor are stored under this number. As the founder of the Haroon Mukati Islamic Centre in Aurangabad, Mukati already had a long list of contacts. So when he bounced the idea of a Roti Bank off them, he found that people were quite keen to contribute. As a rule, this bank only deals in freshly cooked food items.

The Bank is open from 11 am to 11 pm. Each of its members has to deposit two chappatis and either a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian preparation. There is no bar on the number of times this can be done. Once the food comes in, helpers segregate the vegetarian and non-vegetarian food and repack it in plastic bags and containers.

This free food is handed out to all those who come to the Bank’s counters. Leftover food is frozen for reuse the next day. In case there is excess food, Mukati distributes it amongst his staffers.

Mukati grew up in a family of modest means where food was a dear commodity. He says, “Seeing poor and hungry people is a common sight. People feed them, but it is never fresh food. I wanted to create a place where people can get fresh food at no cost. It is not just beggars who go hungry. There are so many among the middle-class who have to forgo meals due to rising costs.”
