A pure microbial product designed for the management of fall the foliar and soil borne diseases of all the crops.
Introduction: We know before the introduction of the agriculture chemicals (pesticides, herbicide and fertilizers) and so called high yielding varieties of the crops, our crop production system was sustainable and our ‘produce’ was of top quality and free from the toxic residues. But the importation and incorporation of a monster known as the ‘GREEN REVOLUTION’ has severaly devoured our ecology and glorious traditional agricultural system. All of us know the consequences of the green revolution (need not to mention the details of lethal impact of green revolution on our ecosystem).

We know that plant diseases (foliar and soil borne as well) are among few important factors contributing low average yield of the crops. The chemical management of soil borne diseases (wilt, root-rot, crown gall, self rot etc) of the vegetables, pulses, horticultural and ornament plants is not possible since most of the pathogens are reported to develop resistance against the most of the available agricultural chemicals. The fungicidal control of soil borne diseases under the field condition has fastered the negative approach among the farmers because of their high cost, phytotoxity and persistence of their residues. Besides above mentioned things, the increased rise of potentially hazardous fungicides has become a matter of growing concern among the environmentalists and public health authorities.
To overcome the above mentioned hurdles our company (Penta Pharma Pvt. Ltd.) has developed a microbial product SULEX which is effective against all the bacterial and fungal (soilborne as well as foliar) diseases of the crops.

Priyank Singh:Education Aspects in India

In recent days, India's growth rate shows positive signs and there are tremendous progress in various sectors. According to EFA (Education For All ) global monitoring report 2010 India's rank was 105 among 128 countries. Various countries like Zambia, Kenya, Ghana, Bhutan etc having poor economy than India but having high ranking than India. All these things are quite puzzling to me.

Various schemes were launched such as sarva shiksha abhiyan which means to improve the conditions of schools and colleges and to make education for all easy. I think , this progress was only in terms of enrollments because according to the latest statistics available from the Flash Statistics and analytical reports on elementary education in India ,on an average there are only 3 teachers per school. About 14% of the schools have a single class room, 37% do not have toilets , 25% have electricity connection. National norm is 1:40 teacher to student ratio but hardly any school (may be private or government) maintains this ratio (ask yourself what is the ratio in your school or college??). Another reason of not improving the rank is poor survival rate only 66% of the enrolled children in grade 1 make it to grade 5 whereas survival rate in other countries is more than 90%.There must be some system to get through it.

In India, for higher education various people are fighting with each other. If, in a year, there are very good students then the cut-offs will go higher and only few of them get selected because of getting through the cut-off, quota system and few seats availability while in other countries there are thresholds which the student must achieve to get the admission, if you are above that threshold level then you will definitely get selected or get an interview call. In our country people are still wasting their precious time in order to achieve their targets or in order to clear the cut offs.

There are very few colleges all over the country which promote creativity. I think we are living in a modern era where a creative idea can make million dollars and still we don’t promote it. We need everything good directors, poets, musicians and various other creative people……..SO BE CREATIVE.
