RAINFALL IN NAGPUR & VIDARBHA IN THE THIRD WEEK OF JULY 2013
DUE TO THE LOW PRESSURE AREA IN THE BAY OF BENGAL (N/NW) AND A CYCLONIC CIRCULATION RAINS WILL CONTINUE TO LASH THE VIDARBHA REGION, MANY A TIMES HEAVY TO VERY HEAVY.
THE RAINS STARTING 17th EVENING WILL CONTINUE WELL PAST MIDNIGHT TILL EARLY MORNING OF 18th, TAKE A BREAK AND AGAIN MAKE THEIR PRESENCE FEEL ON 19th AND 20th INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE WHOLE DAY.
THE SUNDAY MOOD WILL ALSO WILL BE SPOILED IN THE EVENING TIME WITH RAINS.
ALL IN ALL, THE QUANTITY OF RAIN WILL NOT BE AS MAGNIFICANT AS THAT OF YESTERDAY'S/TODAY'S RAIN, BUT IT WILL SURELY BE A WET WEEK WITH MOST OF THE TIME OVERCAST SKIES.

RAINFALL IN THE FIRST WEEK OF 'AASHAADH' MONTH AT NAGPUR
THE 'AASHAAD' & 'SHRAAVAN' MONTHS IN THE HINDU CALENDAR (ALMANAC) GIVES RAINS ACROSS INDIA; AS MUCH AS 80% OF THE TOTAL MONSOON RAINS OCCUR IN THESE TWO MONTHS.
THE 'AASHAAD' IS STARTING FROM TUESDAY AND THE NAGPUR WHICH WAS POISED FOR A PLEASANT WEEKEND (THE END OF 'JYESHTHA' MONTH), THE
NAGPUR SKIES, TODAY; ARE SLATED TO BE CONVECTIVE AND PRECIPITATE; HEAVILY IN SOME PARTS
OF CITY AS THE LARGE AND TOWERING CUMULOUS SEEN FROM THE MORNING, IS SLOWLY
BUILDING UP AND THE SUPPLY OF HEAT; FROM THE GROUND; DUE TO RADIATION;
CONTINUES.
BY THE DAY END; IT WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT ENERGY TO GIVE
THUNDER/LIGHTENING IN THE EVENING HOURS; TODAY.
THE NEXT WEEK WILL BE WET AS
WELL; BECAUSE RAINFALL WILL OCCUR DAILY; MOSTLY DURING EVENING/LATE
EVENING/NIGHT HOURS.
THE DRY BULB TEMP TO REMAIN 30Deg Cel AND ABOVE WITH
HUMIDITY(Rel) 80% OR MORE, WE MAY ENTER INTO BREAK-MONSOON PHASE IN THE COMING WEEK/S.
THE PICTURE IS MORE OR LESS THE SAME IN OTHER PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIA (250 Km
radius from Nagpur).
SOME FAIR WEATHER CONDITION ON 13th AND 14th
JULY 2013 (the atmospheric instability is reducing) AT NAGPUR, WILL AGAIN MAKE
WEEKEND ENJOYABLE.

ANOTHER SPELL OF REDUCED RAIN IN NAGPUR REGION
AFTER RAINING HEAVILY FOR ALMOST TWO DAYS NOW, THE RAINS WILL REDUCE IN THE NEXT WEEK AND THE MAX TEMP WILL RISE BY ABOUT 7-8 Deg CEL WITH HUMIDITY (RELATIVE) AROUND 60-70%.
THE 187.4 mm RAINFALL RECORDED AT NAGPUR IN LAST 24 hrs IS ALMOST EQUIVALENT TO MONTHLY TOTAL R/F FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE, THOUGH NOT HIGHEST IN 24 hrs.
SINCE THE LOW PR AREA IS SHIFTING NW wards, THERE WILL BE REDUCED R/F ACTIVITY FROM 27th A/F TILL NEXT TUESDAY, WITH OCCASIONAL FEW DROPS OF RAIN (REMEMBER this is monsoon season) till 30TH JUNE.
THIS WILL LEAVE SOME TIME FOR THE FARMERS TO SOW THE SEEDS IN THEIR FIELDS, FOR WHICH IT IS THE RIPE TIME NOW.
THE ADVANCEMENT OF MONSOON COVERING ENTIRE INDIA IN ABOUT 20 DAYS, IS UNUSUAL THOUGH IN THIS DECADE, IS ALSO A PHENOMENA FOR RE SEARCHING, WHERE A SHIFTING (delaying Onset) OF MONSOON; AND SO THE SOWING SEASONS; WAS NOTICEABLE.
I REMEMBER IN PAIN ALL THOSE WHO LEFT FOR HEAVENLY ABODE IN THE MAYHEM IN UTTARKHAND. INTERESTINGLY GOOGLE'S CONTRIBUTION (in the following link) IS PRAISE WORTHY. :- http://www.google.org/crisisresponse/uttarakhand-flood-2013.html

Seventh Pay Commission
Shri.Ajay Maken, Union Minister has recently addressed a letter
to Prime Minister for early setting up of Seventh Pay Commission.
The following
is the full Text of Letter dated 14th March, 2013 to Prime Minister by
Shri Ajay Maken, Union Minister regarding request to early setting up of
Seventh Pay Commission.:--->
It is with a sense of pride that I seek to underline that about
3,2 million Central Government Employee and an equal number of
pensioners inducting service personnel, hold you in high esteem and think of
you as one amongst them. They look up to you as a leader who would not only
empathize with their concerns but ensure deliverance as well. It was you who
had constituted the Sixth Central Pay Commission (CPC) in 2005 which should
have been set up in 2003 by the NDA Government.
2) Central Government Employee who are inducted in Government
through a process of rigorous screening and testing as also stringent
evaluation of a job performance are supposed to be the brightest.
With globalisation and multi-national corporation coming into the country,
we have at hand a two fold challenge:
(a) do have a
personnel pool with high acumen to deal with these MNCs,
(b) simultaneously a
dress the challenge of high attrition on which in itself is a result of MNCs
having come in. In order to attract as also retain the brightest minds in Government
employment it is but necessary that Central Pay Commission are set up
regularly to look into and evaluate their pay structures and submit
recommendations.
3) Ever since the setting up of the second Central Pay Commission
all pay commissions have been set up in the 3rd year of every decade baring the
one time when the NDA Government did not do so in the year 2003. The pay
commissions are then required to submit their recommendations/reports
in three years time. However, you had set up the sixth pay commission in 2005
and submitted its report in an year and half, much to the relief and succour of
Government employees. We are again in the third year of the on-going decade and
Central Government Employees are justifiably looking forward to the Seventh Pay
Commission that would look into their needs. The present wage structure of
the Central Govt. Employees has been made on the basis of the Sixth Central Pay
Commission’s recommendations, which were implemented with effect from 11.2006
in the case of Pay and in the case of allowances with effect from 1.9.2008. The
erosion of real wages owing to the degree of inflation in the economy is
hurting these employees very badly. The retail prices of those
commodities, which go into the making of minimum wage, have risen by about 160%
between 1.1.2006 to 1.1.2011, in comparison to D.A. compensation, which on that
date had been just 51%. It is also an acknowledged fact that the 6th CPC had
computed the minimum wage by suppressing the retailprice of these
commodities in the market on the specious plea that official statistics of the
retailprices of these commodities were not available. They therefore,
computed the retail price by increasing the wholesale price by
20% for each of the commodity whereas the actual retail price in the
market was 60% more than the wholesale price.
4) Broadly, one’s
-emoluments should be adequate enough to commensurate with boundless and
limitless assignments and to his duties and responsibilities in a better, effective
and honest manner. The same has also to place, an employee to be in a position
to fulfil his social and family obligations, such as education
of children, their marriage, maintenance of a reasonable living standard for
himself and his family members expected of Government servants and also to take
care of his post retirement life.
5) The basis of fixing wages in the past
was largely a consumer need related, which was considered at a bare minimum
like the minimum nutritional level, minimum clothing, housing etc. But today
life is more complex and living standards are not based on simple living and
the same cannot be restricted to only for the working class. The producer of
wealth being the consumer oriented also requires consumers, including the
Central Government employees.
6) These employees are also placed in a
disadvantageous situation vis-a-vis their counterparts in Central Public Sector
undertakings, in whose case, the wage revisions normally takes place after
every five years through Collective bargaining. The wage revision of the
Central Government employees if not after five years it must be after every ten
years and the Government needs to consider setting up of the Seventh Centra1
Pay Commission immediately. While conceding the fact that the Central Pay
Commission is founded only in every 10 years, however with the coming of the
year 2011, prices of most of the products needed in day to day life
is increasing.
7) In brief the following decision need to he taken on Priority
so that a positive message goes among serving Central Government
Employees, Pensioners and Service and Para Military Personnels, the decision
will also have bearing upon State Governments Employees:- A notification for
constitution of 7th Central Pay Commission is the need of the hour, which is
bound to have bearing upon about 20 million employees, which are opinion
makers. Therefore the issues may please be considered by the concerned
Ministries on Priority and appropriate decision is taken.
Sir, I will be
extremely obliged if the above submission is considered favourably in larger
interest of government employees as well as the party.
