What kind of restrictions and prohibitions, which is only limited to official papers and files. Is a great irony in our country's governmental system. Rules, laws are made, but how it is being implemented, it is there to see. Terms and Act of Union law or the state government. This is the same everywhere. In other states like West Bengal, about a month ago had announced a ban on gutkha. This declaration was issued. The result, according to a paper from May despite a ban gutkha and nicotine found Panmsala is sold indiscriminately across the state. Nowhere is sold openly steal so far. Similarly, in public places was banned smoking in trains today do not need to tell her what's up. Gutkha ban is similar to the name. Health Department officials have acknowledged that they have an obligation to enforce the ban. But, how did the meeting go? The answer is no to them. Mouth cancer case came to light in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra government before the ban was announced. The chief minister last month also decided to ban gutka use and sell. April 22 was notified in terms of restriction. However, no concrete plan for operationalization could not pull deposits. There are many shopkeepers who do not realize that gutka is banned in Bengal. Why is the Department of Health in this case so indifferent? Makul ban on smoking in the way of what is flying Bengal, the state must be a ban on gutkha in the same way? With the announcement of any government restrictions and prohibitions - for Shetty with the necessary planning needs. Similarly, the rules do not ban people keep coming and will destroy it. Government should immediately publish advertisements in this regard, to start a campaign for public awareness campaign would be carried out. Take action against those who feel the same restrictions. This restriction shall not remain on paper.

कोयला घोटाला मामले में बुधवार को सुनवाई के दौरान सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सीबीआई पर तल्ख टिप्पणी की है.
सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा कि सीबीआई पिंजरे में बंद तोते की तरह है, जो मालिक की भाषा बोलता है. कोर्ट ने कहा कि जो सरकार कहती है सीबीआई वहीं दोहराती है.
कोयला ब्लॉक आवंटन घोटाले और अन्य मामलों की सीबीआई जांच में केंद्र के हस्तक्षेप को लेकर सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने चिंता जाहिर करते हुए कहा कि सीबीआई पिंजरे में बंद ऐसा तोता बन गई है जो अपने मालिक की बोली बोलता है.
सीबीआई निदेशक के हलफनामे के अवलोकन के बाद कोर्ट ने कहा कि यह ऐसी अनैतिक कहानी है जिसमें एक तोते के कई मालिक हैं.
सीबीआई अधिकारियों से मिलने और रिपोर्ट के प्रारूप में बदलाव के सुझाव देने के लिये सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय और कोयला मंत्रालय के संयुक्त सचिवों को आड़े हाथ लिया.
सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सरकार से पूछा है कि सीबीआई को स्वतंत्र करने के लिए क्या किया गया है.
'सीबीआई का काम सच्चाई का पता लगाना, विचार विमर्श करना नहीं'
कोर्ट ने कहा कि सीबीआई का काम सरकारी अधिकारियों से विचार विमर्श करना नहीं बल्कि सच्चाई का पता लगाने के लिये पूछताछ करना है. सीबीआई को पता होना चाहिए कि सरकार और उसके अधिकारियों के दबावों के आगे कैसे खड़ा होना है.
कोर्ट ने कहा कि जांच रिपोर्ट का मूलभाव बदल दिया गया है. जांच रिपोर्ट प्रगति रिपोर्ट नहीं है जिसे सरकार और उसके अधिकारियों के साथ साझा किया जाये.

इस मामले को लेकर पहले से ही कानून मंत्री अश्वनी कुमार विपक्ष के हमले का निशाना बने हुये हैं. विपक्ष उनके इस्तीफे की मांग कर रहा है.
रंजीत सिन्हा ने अपने हलफनामे में कहा है कि अटार्नी जनरल ने भी स्थिति रिपोर्ट पर सरसरी निगाह डाली थी और उनके सुझावों पर भी इसमें बदलाव किये गये थे.
न्यायमूर्ति आर एम लोढा की अध्यक्षता वाली तीन सदस्यीय खंडपीठ ने इस मामले में जांच की स्थिति रिपोर्ट सरकार के साथ साझा करने के बारे में न्यायालय को अंधेरे में रखने के कारण सीबीआई की खिंचाई भी की थी.

NGOs
The number of NGOs has grown exponentially over the last 20 years, as has the scale of resources available. In 2010, it was estimated that humanitarian spending reached just shy of $17 billion.Some NGOs have become transnational, with very large budgets. One American NGO, World Vision International, has a budget topping $2.6bn.
NGOs are often reluctant to talk about corruption for fear that it will lead to bad publicity and, consequently, a loss of funding. Working across borders to reach people in need can also give rise to allegations of corruption. The degree of confidentiality necessary to negotiate with those who control access can sometimes make transparency difficult to achieve. Moving clandestinely across borders to access affected populations, as NGOs have done over the years in many conflict situations, can also raise questions about the legitimacy and legality of such action. During the Afghan war in the 1980s, for instance, the Soviet-allied government in Kabul did not want humanitarian actors in Afghanistan, particularly in areas controlled by resistance factions. In this context, humanitarian NGOs had no choice but to cross the Pakistan–Afghanistan border illegally (without permission), through Peshawar and the North West Frontier Province. When humanitarian personnel were captured and held hostage by Soviet or Afghan forces, NGOs argued that the illegality of their actions did not decrease their legitimacy.
Humanitarian organisations cannot ignore the possible consequences of paying bribes or illegal taxes, especially in armed conflicts. Choosing to pay an illegal tax or bribe (in cash or in kind) when confronted by armed guards at a checkpoint may enable the organisation to access people in need, but can be misinterpreted as corruption. Choosing not to pay can mean that humanitarian needs go unmet and that lives may be lost or the risk of harm increased for NGO staff.
NGOs must widen the scope of risk assessment to consider whether their programmes are vulnerable to corruption, such as theft or misappropriation of funds or in-kind goods by warring parties, real or perceived inequities in the distribution of aid and sexual abuse and exploitation of beneficiaries by agency or partner staff. While every situation is different, in all cases NGOs have to balance their commitment to humanitarian principles with the need to control the risk of corruption so as to be truly accountable to their beneficiaries and donors. They should also be transparent with stakeholders about these challenges, and how they may affect decisions about whether or not to continue their work.
Still a taboo?
Some NGOs, particularly in Nordic countries, have chosen to publicise the results of corruption cases as well as the anti-corruption policies that they have implemented. For example, DanChurchAid (DCA) has a website page detailing corruption cases within the organisation and how they were dealt with.Despite the financial crisis that began in 2008, DCA increased its 2009 budget to 498 million DKK (about $123m), a third of which came from private donors (the same proportion as in 2008). Being transparent about corruption does not appear to have negatively affected donor perceptions of DCA. Nonetheless, many NGOs believe that reporting cases of corruption is a major risk with potentially irreversible consequences for humanitarian organisations and their activities. They fear that such cases can undermine their credibility and reputation (particularly with the media), as well as discouraging public and private donations. In France, the Prometheus Foundation, a group of the largest French private companies, including oil, health insurance and pharmaceutical firms, has issued an ‘NGO Transparency Barometer’. The methodology, based only on available public data from NGOs’ websites, has been openly criticised by Coordination Sud, the French NGO forum.
To open up the debate on corruption and to promote preventive measures, Médecins du Monde (MDM) led a study in 2008 which aimed to interview the 17 largest French NGOs regarding their perceptions of corruption, their approaches to field work and appraising and managing risks, and the procedures they had in place to minimise and prevent such risks. Surprisingly, 11 of the 17 NGOs contacted refused to participate in this (strictly confidential) study. Among NGOs that agreed to take part, most recognised that cases of corruption were part of the significant operational challenges around humanitarian aid. The study confirmed what TI had already demonstrated: that humanitarian operations are most vulnerable to corruption in the procurement, transport and distribution of medicines, food, building materials and other consumables, particularly in large, rapid-onset emergencies.
It is also important to remember that most emergency situations occur in countries where corruption is already widespread. The great majority of agency staff questioned in the 2008 study believed that corruption was primarily contextual in origin. Over half had witnessed incidents of corruption, been offered bribes or asked to pay them or had been invited to participate in corrupt activities.
NGOs need to ensure that they are well-informed about the nature and level of corruption in the countries in which they operate. This can be done by using, among other sources, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and TI reports on corruption levels. Although NGOs are unlikely to be able to address the root causes of ‘contextual’ corruption at a country level, individually or directly, by working with other NGOs and civil society it may be possible to mitigate the impact on humanitarian operations and local governance. In Bangladesh, for instance, 66.7% of households experienced some form of corruption when trying to access public services. Forty-eight percent of those interviewed encountered corruption in the health service, primarily bribery and nepotism. The most obvious examples were doctors charging for prescriptions and referring patients to their private clinics, and patients having to pay extra fees for tests in government hospitals. Community action at field level resulted in the creation of Committees of Concerned Citizens (CCCs), which acted as watchdogs on local governance and attitudes in both the education and health sectors. This led to dramatic improvements in the quality of care, and significantly reduced bribery, nepotism and negligence.
Accountability initiatives
At the international level, TI has just finalised a practical guide to identifying the weak links in the humanitarian response system in order to improve awareness and as far as possible prevent corrupt practices. The guide also devotes significant attention to how to monitor and evaluate anti-corruption measures. Several NGOs, notably from English-speaking countries, participated in the development of this document, which is more technical than political.
In 1997, the Ethics and Transparency Committee of Coordination Sud drafted a charter of good practice. Most large French NGOs are members of the Comité de la Charte, an independent organisation whose aim is to promote financial transparency. NGOs belonging to the committee are required to have their activities (financial and operational) audited each year by a certified auditor. NGO programmes and accounts are also subject to various external audits (several per year) commissioned by donors including EUROPAID and ECHO, as well as by the Cour des Comptes (the government audit office). In addition, most French NGOs have established internal control mechanisms which enable information from the field to be verified and cross-checked.
Conclusion
One of the lessons of the MDM study, which has also been confirmed by TI, is that it is extremely important for field teams to have appropriate and clearly defined intervention strategies, good knowledge of the field context and training on how to identify and reduce the risks of corruption, particularly operational risk factors associated with the procurement, transport, storage and distribution of relief goods.
As a complex global phenomenon with significant local consequences, corruption is a critical aspect of humanitarian thinking and action. Good governance and transparency are at the heart of NGO legitimacy. NGOs must work with Transparency International, the OECD and other institutional partners and private donors in order to fight corruption effectively. Strengthening community involvement in the implementation and evaluation of humanitarian (and development) programmes improves the ‘acceptance’ of NGOs by the beneficiary population and helps to mitigate against corruption and promote better local governance. We need an open debate on the risks of corruption and how to address them, without undermining donor funding to and beneficiary confidence in NGOs. As well as strictly operational considerations, corruption constitutes an important ethical and political challenge for humanitarian NGOs.

khap Panchayte
Dam break the print and electronic media these days have a new lifesaving .. and she's lifesaving "khap panchayat". Every small or large .. Sale or earning, on all channels "khap panchayat" about "in the discussion, bump, open voice, face to face," as many programs are being broadcast .. All channels "some social experts (?) And some thinkers Shuturmurgon" the tall claims are being called in your program .. But the point of this fracas told the media after being Cutta .. And that's the issue ...
khap Panchayte threat to the Hindu social order or not ...??
To understand the issue before the "khap panchayats" I'll tell you about ...
Under the "state" is at the forefront of the khap panchayat difficult decisions ..
will. Manu has a mechanism to control the society. In this arrangement, the head of the family has been recognized as the supreme judge. With the help of enlightened individuals had a panchayat. The justice system is still in circulation in Jat society. Later on the same basis Gram Panchayat was born.
If a side issue - not matured to the local Chowdhury or enlightened society Gavd Collect the issue is placed in front of them. In common language it is called Gavd panchayat.
If a problem is born First attempts to resolve family issues. Not guilty verdict was considered by the Gram Panchayat, the hookah - close to the water, turned the village society, the transaction is permissible to restrict etc.. Caste panchayat if the problem is related to the tribe through which the circle is guilty ....
So we see that khap khap analyze word is made up of two words. The words 'b' and 'you'. B means sky and water means that you are paramount to an organization like the sky and water clean, clear and all that is available to be Nyaikari. Now khap is an organization which includes the village, many people from the tribe or people of the same tribe are included. They may not be in the same area. A khap villages - far away may be. Big Khapon also born out of many small Khapon. From one village to another khap khap khap are free to go. Varies with time due to the nature of the khap. 3,500 of Jat khap are in existence today ..
Mythological references khap panchayats ..
Ramayana period that historians call the ape army was Srwkhap military committee headed by the chief adviser Jamwant called Veer Hanuman did was heroic. Ram and Laxman, Hanuman and Sugriva heard the anguish in which the all khap panchayat was convened Lanka has decided to climb on. Then the all khap Bhil, Cole, gentian, apes, bears, force, Raghuvanshi, Sen, Jatayu etc. attended various races and Khapon. The army was called because of the abundance of monkeys, apes. King Sugriva was chaired by the panchayat.
In Mahabharata Srwkhap committee had with religion. In Mahabharata Krishna Maharaj then chief of the Panchayats or were heavenly. Krishna times of panchayats. Shakuni, Karna and Duryodhana aside the decision of the panchayat declared that no place will be equal to the needle tip. As the end of the Mahabharata war. Mahabharata awful result. ..
In the media for some time khap panchayats "Honor Killing" and "Tugulki proclamation" is coming out .. And they are using the media exaggerate this thing ...that is, that is why we have to take some tough decisions .. "honor killing" khap panchayat on the issue of veterans say "sorry sir we stay hungry Bhogkr nurture him so much pain by taking care of your child s .. Now you tell me a piece of your liver dies for no reason .. why?? But yes there is no value in our society forward our son .. Society, we, the country, the law and the law is that a leader with flame bake your bread .. It's easy to talk big to sit in air-conditioned .. But here (in the villages) if someone moves wrong boy is so difficult to live with his family ... We live in a society and of society we can not go out .. Because our reputation is our greatest wealth ..
