Ruling DMK & AIADMK to groom their women cadres to fight elections.
Posted by ganesh in Communication, Culture, Departments, Health, Information, Other, Public, competition, government, modification, programme, tamilnadu on March 12th, 2010
Tamil Nadu’s ruling DMK and main opposition AIADMK have sprung into action, now that the women’s reservation bill is just a step away from being passed. Both parties have decided to groom their women cadres to fight elections.
The ruling DMK is planning to hold camps across the state to empower its women cadres.
“We plan to train DMK party women in various aspects of governance. We want to groom our party women so that they are ready as and when the 33 percent reservation for women comes into effect,” M. Kanimozhi, party Rajya Sabha member and daughter of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, told IANS.
Tamil Nadu has already reserved 33 percent of seats in local bodies for women and such camps will be useful for DMK cadres, she said, adding that a three-day camp was held in Nilgiri district in October for women party cadre from Coimbatore, Tirupur and Nilgiri districts.
AIADMK general secretary J. Jayalalithaa said in a statement issued here Friday: “When the women’s reservation bill becomes law, we will need women of calibre to take up positions in the state legislature and parliament.
“The AIADMK will take the necessary steps towards grooming and developing women of substance for a positive political role in the future.”
The women’s reservation bill was passed in the upper house of parliament, Rajya Sabha, March 9. Now it awaits the nod of Lok Sabha. It will reserve one-third of seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women.
Jayalalitha said: “A committee is being constituted to work out the curriculum, training modules and modalities of the training programme for women who will, under this programme, be trained in elocution, basic law, basic financial management and the basics of administration and political science.”
The former chief minister said the AIADMK government under her leadership was instrumental in establishing all women police stations in Tamil Nadu.
“Even a Women’s Commando Unit and an All Women Police Battalion were set up by my government. I issued an order by which the mother’s name could also be used by a person as her or his initials,” Jayalalithaa said.
Citing her government’s decision to introduce a new terminology ‘kudimagal’ (feminine gender) as a synonym for ‘kudimagan’, the Tamil word for citizen, Jayalalithaa said the Women’s Self Help group movement was given an impetus during her rule.

Posted by ganesh in Assembly, Chennai, Communication, Departments, Information, Other, anniversary, government, programme on March 12th, 2010
Chief Minister M Karunanidhi dream project, the new Secretariat – Assembly complex at Omandhurar Estate here, built at a cost of Rs 425 crore, will be inaugurated at a grand and a glittering ceremony in which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi will take part.
Besides the two leaders, Chief Ministers of other southern States Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have been invited, as also scores of Union Ministers and party leaders, including from the BJP and CPI(M).
The huge complex is a labour of love of DMK president Karunanidhi, who has been visiting the latest landmark of Chennai on almost on a daily basis to review its progress. Karunanidhi had first made the announcement for the project in 2007 during the golden jubilee celebrations of his political career.
Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi are scheduled to arrive here by a special flight for the programme and return the same day. Police have stepped up the security for the high-profile inaugural event that is expected to draw a huge crowd from all over the state.
The function would be presided over by Karunanidhi and State Governor Surjith Singh Barnala would also attend.Around 5,000 policemen are scheduled to guard the complex during its inauguration, where its first budget will be presented by Finance Minister K Anbazhagan on 19 March. Traffic diversions have also been put in place.
Flags of DMK and Congress are fluttering on city roads, especially of the latter, erecting banners and posters welcoming their party leaders, Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi.
Though all three southern Chief Ministers have been invited, official sources said Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, K Rosiah and B S Yedduryappa, respectively, are scheduled to participate.
Some banners erected near the airport hailed the new found friendship between Tamilnadu and Karnataka, locked in a dispute over Cavery river, following the two States’ statue diplomacy last year that led to betterment in relations.
The 58-year-old Tamilnadu Legislature concluded its last session on January 9, 2010 at the 17th century Fort St George. The first Legislature of the erstwhile Madras State after Independence was held in March 1952 at the Fort, located on the banks of the Bay of Bengal, which was regarded as the first ‘establishment’ of the British in India.
Poongothai says, Animation and Gaming industry promote language
Posted by ganesh in College, Communication, Departments, Education, Entertainment, Information, Information Technology (IT), Other, games, modification, programme, student, tamilnadu on March 12th, 2010
Animation and Gaming industry provided greater advantage to promote language, art and culture, Tamil Nadu Information Technology Minister Poongothai Aladi Aruna said today.
Inaugurating Media Arts and Science College (MASC) at Neelankarai, near here, she said ”we can take our art, culture and language to all corners of the world, through animation of our mythological tales and life history of our distinguished personalities of the past.
Through animation the life history of personalities like revolutionary poets Bharathiyaar and Bharathidasan could be spread and indigenous games like Pallankuzhi and Snake and Ladder could be introduced.” She offered the first admission letter to a differently abled student residing in a destitute home in Chennai at the MASC, a first of its kind college dedicated for Media Education.
”Tamil Nadu is a thriving base for knowledge and economy.
Our State stands exemplary in all of its endeavors, be it growth of IT and manufacturing industries, IT policies, computer education, introducing Tamil keyboards or dedication of Tamil virtual university for the language lovers across the globe etc,” she said.
In the past four years around 48,000 crore has been invested in the State for industrial growth and aims at bringing holistic and equitable growth by removing rural-urban divide, she remarked. Mr Purushothaman, Regional Director, NASSCOM, said ”with respect to Animation and Gaming industry, India suffers talent crunch. The Animation and Gaming industry expected to grow to one billion US dollars and 830 million dollars by 2012 needs talented youngsters with adequate skill sets.
Along with development of skills, English proficiency would help our country to do cross border projects and also bring end-to-end development in the industry.
Ms Amy Hirsch, Vice Consul, United States Consulate General, who graced the occasion, said ”India is a great source of education, but it is learnt that only 10 per cent of the students who have secondary education have access to higher studies.” More importance to education and gaining of practical knowledge will accelerate the growth of India. The tie-up between India and US in education is expected to bring a marvelous change and various expansion and scholarship programmes are being planned,
Ajith, Vijay and Vikram in play the lead roles if ‘3 Idiots’ remade in Tamil
Posted by ganesh in Cinema, Communication, Entertainment, Information, businesses, modification, music, tamilnadu on March 12th, 2010
“Ajith, Vijay and Vikram will be the right choices to play the lead roles if ‘3 Idiots’ is remade in Tamil,” says Madhavan, one of the lead players of the Hindi hit, directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
Talking about why he turned down an offer to repeat the act in Tamil, Maddy adds, “Because, I had already given my heart and soul to the character I played in the Hindi version. So I don’t think it will be interesting if I do the Tamil remake too.”
On suggesting Ajith, Vikram and Vijay for the Kollywood version, he says, “The film will sure become a super hit here if the three come forward to join forces. The top actors would fit to the roles well besides adding star value to the movie.”
Draw his attention to the fact that he is not acting in Tamil films of late, Madhavan says, “That is my mistake. Since I delivered few flops, I wanted to take a break and concentrate on Hindi movies. But I am making a comeback with Kamal (Haasan) sir’s next venture.”

The DMK Alagiri would continue its ‘untiring service’ for the benefit of Muslims
Posted by ganesh in Chennai, Communication, Culture, Departments, Information, Other, Political, Politics on March 12th, 2010
The DMK would continue its ‘untiring service’ for the benefit of Muslims and ensure that their interests are protected in future, Union chemicals and fertilisers minister M K Alagiri said here today.
Participating in the ’social revivial conference’ of the Indian Union Muslim League on the eve of its 62nd Founder’s day, he said he had come here even though the women’s reservation bill was to be put to vote, as the community had always stood by the party in the past.
Alagiri said the DMK always had close ties with the party, right from 1967, when his father and Chief Minister M Karunanidhi formed a special bond with Quaid-e-Milleth, one of its founder leaders.
He listed the various schemes brought out by the government for the welfare of Muslims and said it would continue in future.
New Secretariat complex is built on the concept of representative democracy, symbolised by four circles of diminishing size
Posted by ganesh in Chennai, Communication, Departments, Information, Museum, Public, anniversary, function, government on March 12th, 2010
In the State which provided one of the earliest examples of a representative, grassroots democracy, the grand new Assembly complex has four circular buildings of diminishing size. This signifies the people and three pillars of representative democracy — the legislature, the judiciary, and the executive.
In his public invitation to the inaugural event of the Assembly slated for Saturday, Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who has conceived the entire Assembly complex project, referred to the Uthiramerur inscription, which testifies to the existence of a highly refined electoral system and a written constitution on the mode of elections. The importance of the inscription, which historians date around 920 A.D., during the reign of Parantaka Chola (907-955 A.D.), was featured in an article in The Hindu on July 11, 2008.
Four circles
Explaining the architectural concept behind the complex, a senior government official says the biggest of the four buildings will be the Public Plaza, to which people will have free access. The Chief Minister is for turning the Plaza into yet another place of tourist importance. An open-air museum is proposed to be set up there.
The Plaza is expected to be thrown open to the public on March 19 when the State budget will be presented in the new Assembly.
The circular Assembly Hall, where elected representatives of the people debate issues and problems concerning the State, will be the next biggest structure.
The third is the circular library structure that will essentially be used by the Law Department, which can be considered as representing the judiciary.
The smallest of the four circular components will house the Chief Minister’s office, which is the highest institution of the executive branch. The official points out that the Chief Minister is particular that the circular building meant for his office should be the smallest, meaning that the executive should be modest.
The official says that after obtaining passes, people can come up to the seat of the government.
Four water fountains are being set up at the entrance of the complex, representing the four circular buildings symbolically. They are designed in proportion to the size of the buildings.

Posted by ganesh in Chennai, Communication, Culture, Information, Other, Rape, cheating, illegal, police on March 12th, 2010
Swamy Nithyananda, who is in the news after having been “caught on camera in a compromising position with an actress”, has alleged that a conspiracy has been hatched against him and his ashram.
In a speech, VCD copies of which were circulated to the media in Chennai Thursday, the selfstyled godman said, “I have not gone into hiding. I am busy with my spiritual commitments and will appear at the right time to expose those trying to malign me through a well-hatched conspiracy.”
This was the second VCD released by the ashram in the last four days. In the earlier CD released last week, Nithyananda claimed that he had not done anything illegal. “Neither I nor the ashram had done anything illegal”, he said, without confirming or denying his sleaze acts.
In the latest CD, Nithyananda said he had not cheated anyone while acquiring property for the ashram. “The properties have not been acquired in legal manner and they were given as donations by the devotees. We have documentary evidence to prove this.”
