Sriramsagar backwaters as a tourism spot soon

Land acquisition has already been done, says Nizamabad Collector
Nizamabad District Collector C. Narayana Reddy suggested to the district administration to take adequate measures to come up with proposals for the development of Sriramsagar backwaters as a tourism spot.
It may be recalled that the locale shot into prominence to the presence of thousands of blackbucks a couple of years ago when K. Santhosh Kumar, CEO of Navyabharathi Global School, and an avid wildlife photographer, showcased the region to the outside word, and which also saw a drastic decline in the number this summer for many reasons.
At a review meeting in Nizamabad on Monday, the Collector said since the conditions were conducive for the locale to be a great tourism spot, it is imperative to move ahead with long-term plans in this regard.
“With the Tourism Development Corporation and the Forest Development Corporation very keen in this regard, efforts should be initiated for laying an approach road from the SRSP to Binole,” Mr. Reddy said.
“Exempting land where water is stored at the full-storage level of the reservoir, steps should be taken to lay a 33 ft road,” he said.
“Since, the land acquisition in the region has already been done, there should not be any issues with regard to laying the road,” the Collector said. “And, land acquisition can be limited only for laying the proposed road,” he added.
“Even this will be done after consultation with people’s representatives, village development committees and with their complete cooperation only,” the Collector said.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
