School for non-educated people:
For those who have never been to school, here is a golden chance. Last year government started 98 schools for non-educated people and 44 more are being setup this year. These schools will open from 01st July.

It's your turn my dear youngster, think twice:
Our Jalgaon district seems to have burnt it's own youth. Since this month beginning there are various reports of criminal activities in the entire district. It seems that new generation is involving more in such activities instead of concentrating on the business/ work opportunity.

Are we the generation forming citizens responsible for this mislead youth? If we think in deep, yes we are responsible; our community/ business structure is responsible. If we take a look at our business/ work structure, you will find the error.

A youth is full of energy. He does not know anything until his schooling. His friends are his guides and his parents are his tutors in forming life. We notice a very special phenomenon of Jalgaon business structure. Any business that starts gets flooded with competition, not healthy-one but a competition that kills all. We do not say competition shall not be there, but a healthy competition must be there. But if we notice Jalgaon, this is not the case. Competitions are being made out to ruin competing businessman. Another key reason is city's control. It seems only few people are running that city. Whatever sentiments they through in market, all over same things spread. A Simple example for such over-sentiment is an ordinary shop cost in Jalgaon. A ground floor shop in Jalgaon cost around 8-10lakhs so how a new unemployed youth can start business with. He is unable to invest/ loan-invest such huge investment, because he know even if he dares now, within year his investment is going to get zero due to competition.

Classic proof to this issue is current market scenario of Jalgaon city. Since last year or so no new major business has come to city, no new major industry has come to entire district. In fact it will be God's grace if we could maintain this much. Many leading Industries and Business houses have collapsed since last 2 years. Many more are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy that also in crores. Imagine what we are doing? Why we are killing ourselves?

What a new unemployed youth will do? If he is moving towards crime, it is we people that should be hold responsible for. We must change our mentality towards society, our commitment to our workplace. We must escape our city from these so called "High-Business" people. If we fail, we will never be able to pick up the market race. Take example of some cities like Akola and Amravati. They came after us and now have more than double business what we do.

So what we need all the way? Yes, we need a strong review of situation. We should have a strong placement cell for our youth. Currently jobs are there in market, but youth being non-aware is hindering here and there in search of his bread. Our jobs are not paying him more than 1000/2000 bucks. What a youth will think/ read in such small amount of payment? We are not generating any outstanding star in the sports also. None of our players have been selected in any national/ international level sports activity.
We need to change our education field scenario also. Our education field seems to have poisoned with commercial view rather than educating student. We have a very good benefit of mixed-community structure. In all we do not make/ keep any community differences. So why not take this advantage? Let us all come together and form a new Jalgaon. Let us form a Jalgaon that is purely known due to its highly enthusiast youth not by its businessman.

29th June:
Central Railway trains delays as rain continues in Mumbai:
Many of the Mumbai-lead central railway Trains have been delayed or rerouted and some cancelled following heavy rainfall in Mumbai and Ahemdabad.

Many of the trains have been rerouted via Bhusaval and some of them are cancelled.
Due to this rerouting the original Bombay to MP, UP, Delhi route trains are getting delayed by hours and people are facing problem. However there is no incidence report in this route. Railway sources say that this situation will take another 4-5days to restore to normal. Till then the entire Railway timetable is bit disturbed.
Some trains that never even said "Hello" to Bhusaval station now have Bhusaval as key route. Some five star trains like Mumbai-Delhi Rajdhani Express, Golden-Temple Mail, Jaipur Super fast Express and Indore-Pune super fast express are being diverted by Bhusaval from 27th June to 02nd July. Special arrangements are being made at Bhusaval railway station for latest updates of passengers. A special team has been setup to help passenger facing any problems.
Jalgaon also is another beneficiary of this diversion. Many trains from Western railways that arrive from Ahemdabad/ Surat are now using Jalgaon as turn-point for their route towards Banglore/ Chennai.

Imagine if Jalgaon/ Bhusaval could get any of these trains permanently via them. It will make huge benefits for entire Jalgaon district. How beautiful it will be if our area leaders could do something to make such strong benefits to the region?
