Twelve-year-old Shashank Thakur, a Class VII student of Ramkrishna Mission English School in Bistupur, has been named for the President’s bravery award. He had risked his own life to save that of a one-year-old girl last year. In a letter to the awardee, Union home secretary Madhukar Gupta has said that the President of India has conferred the Jeevan Raksha Padak on him and the same will be handed over by the Jharkhand government at a state-level function in Ranchi. Shashank will receive a medal, a cash prize and a certificate for “showing extreme courage”. The date of the function will be announced soon.

The directorate of general employment and training, which functions under the Union ministry of labour and employment, had organised the contest in various trades twice a year.

Jamshedpur residents see these three beautiful countries as places to have fun and adventure, with less money spent than what they would have had the travelled to America or Europe,” said Darshana Taunk, the managing director of Eastern Travels Private Limited. He points out that Asia is around 50 per cent cheaper than Europe or North America. News - Misc.

Therefore, we have decided to work in the grassroots and fight the evil with students. Young people would understand what ails other youngsters the best,” said Lalita Sareen, the principal of the Jamshedpur Public School. News - Misc.

The professor and head of the department of obstetrics and gynaecology Karmila Kujur prefers to attend to patients at a private nursing-home rather than fulfilling her duty at the government medical college hospital. The gynaecologist also carries out her private practice during duty hours despite several complaints from patients. Patient Amerjeet Kaur was at the MGM Medical College Hospital to check a uterus-related problem two-months ago. Luckily she met Kujur, who had suggested a surgery to remove the uterus. It has been two months since then but the patient’s wait for Kujur has not ended. News - Misc. News Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:53:34 +0100
