The above AFP news caught my eye in today's The New Indian Express. To control growing population, the Chinese Govt in 1970s brought in a one-child policy. According to UN, by 2050, 30% of the Chinese population will be more than 60 years old. Elderly Chinese live in what is called "Empty Nest Homes", as the children are away elsewhere where they have found their work. The critics condemn the Govt saying that they should have thought of this when they introduced the one-child policy.
The new law entitles parents to take their children to court if they don't visit them. But how this law is going to be enacted and how many visits have to be made by the children are not clear.
Grateful thanks to AFP and The New Indian Express.

This news item by the Staff Reproter of THE HINDU in THE HINDU of February 7, 2013, caught my eye and I thought it needs to be posted in my blog. Here is an excerpt from the news item:
NUCLEAR ENERGY IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HUMANITY
International Conference on Power, Control (P S N A College of Engineering and Technolgy, Dindigul)
With rapid depletion of fossil fuels, clean energies such as solar, water and wind alone will meet growing power needs in future. Nuclear energy is very dangerous to humanity, said Joachim Holtz, Professor Emeritus, University of Wuppertal, Germany.
.....
Nuclear wastes have been posing a grave threat to human beings and the environment. Nuclear disasters in Russia and Japan had displayed its effects. Germany had decided to shut down all its nuclear plants in a phased manner and switched over to clean energy.
Germany and Denmark were leading the world in tapping wind energy. Every village in south Germany has solar panels to generate power, he added.

Grateful thanks to Prof.Holtz and The Hindu.

In YOUNGWORLD, supplement to The Hindu of January 22, 2013, under the section, KALEIDOSCOPE, I came across this interesting piece from an eighth standard student, P.R.Niranjana. As an enthusiast and supporter of Organic Farming, I thought I would post a part of it in my blog. Here it is:
...
INORGANIC KILLS AND ORGANIC FILLS YOUR LAND WITH GREEN VEGGIES.
Organic farming is the only way to achieve a second green revolution in our country and conserve the eco-system for the next generation. So let's join hands to lead a green and healthy life.

The New Indian Express, Madurai edition of January 11, 2013, has reported, quoting PTI, that INDIA WASTES 21 MILLIONS TONNES OF WHEAT EVERY YEAR. An excerpt from this article:
INDIA WASTES 21 MILLION TONNES OF WHEAT EVERY YEAR
India stands out for its glaring lack of infrastructure and food storage facilities, in a new study that says 21 million tonnes of wheat - equivalent to the entire production of Australia - goes waste in the country.
The report by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME) on global food wastage found that as much as 50% of all food produced around the world never reaches a human mouth.
.....
Overall, wastage rates in vegetables and fruits are even higher than for grains. At least 40% of all fruit and vegetable is lost in India between the grower and consumer due to lack of refrigerated transport, poor roads, inclement weather and corruption.....
