No Electricity, No water, No Business annoys Jalgaonkari:
With no monsoon raining worries whirling around, the MSEB on last Saturday restarted its Power cut schedule of 3 hours every alternative day excluding Sunday. Both drinking water supply and no power is upsetting daily business routine and causing low business turnout popularly known as 'Mandi' in market.
With zeroing water levels in rivers and nearby dam, the district administration's water supply has collapsed and many interior parts are getting water supply after four to five days. The worst hit in Jalgaon District is 'Asoda' village where people get supply after a week or so that too for a shorter span only. The Monsoon delay has caused crop damages and has made farmers to cultivate again due to no rain.
The city's always orating political community is mum over the issue fearing rage of common person over the issue. Jalgaon faces the same scene every year, but no administration and political leaders learns from this rather try to cash the issue by spreading turmoil on each other. Funniest part to know is these big B's worship God for giving good monsoon instead of tightening their belts to resolve the issue and help people make a good of their Jalgaon experience.

12th July:
Draught like situation worries farmers and business community:
With zero raining in last week, Jalgaon District's over 60% population holding farming community and trade business are in worry. The draught situation apart from cultivation damages has also raised drinking water supply issue with almost all rivers in the region having touched zero level of water.
The Jalgaon District having around 37 Lacs plus population is witnessing this draught situation after a year of good monsoon raining last year. If no monsoon rainfall incurs this fortnight, the district's economy will face a shock with majority of money cycle rotated through farming.
No matter whatever the national level political issues be, Jalgaon's politics always evolves through 'Drinking Water' issue in last many years, drilling Jalgaonkari pocket every year and causing deep fury on administration not taking future perspectives in view.

11th July:
Three keys of victorious life: Knowledge, Confidence, and mildness (KCM):
The Quote 'To Err is human, and to recuperate is heavenly' softly tenders human life evolution. Every human being grows up learning things from his family, friends, and work environment. We earn, we live our lives and perform acts humanly. At one stage in life, our brain clicks a question 'What is our goal in life and what we are doing?'
To get answer to these questions, the 'KCM' equation holds significant place. The Knowledge leads us to learn clear aspects of things, enlightens our brain, and gives us ability to judge and differentiate between right and wrong.
If we have 'Confidence' in whatever we do, we are sure to win. Life is a progress laid on confidence layer. Building up confidence in our friends and family and at workplace makes things fantastic. No one can alone win the World; you need to lay your success foundation on bricks on confidence in your environment. Confidence also means 'faith' and every one of us need a faith reservoir to boost us in our downtime. Not necessarily, our faith resource may be our friend, our life guide, and/ or any person giving a lift to us to when we require most.
'Leniency' aids to our accomplishment by changing the way people look at us and believe in us. Mild tone, respectful conduct, and no anger are divinely.

The Art of Living healthy life: Fruits Day:
With increasing tension, workloads every one of us feels suppressed in terms of balancing our digestive systems. Our changing food habits, more use of fast food and improperly balanced eating timing is causing deep troubles and increasing diseases day after day. Such body troubles caused are less felt in younger age as we run with our workflow but as we grow older, things become harder and harder on health grounds.
To overcome such issues, we could develop a new food culture. It includes initiating a 'Fruits Day' in a month. The theme behind fruits day is promoting eating more and more fruits. Instead of using regular food, that day diet will include fruits as our eating habit. It will add to our nutritional factors and definitely help us in keeping illness far away from us.
So let's observe 'Fruits Day' once every month and move one step ahead in living healthier life.

03rd July:
Crusade for college Admission:
Remember those days when colleges used to search for students for various courses, the scene has totally reversed in Junior colleges and specialised courses with State Government tightening its belts. With SSC results out, the rush for admission to class 11th was uncontrollable making "House full" in most of colleges. Most of Colleges used Merit system to control the rush on First Cum First serve basis and merit closed around 60+. Considering the traffic, many of them took hefty donations for admission to Junior College for their non-grant seats.
The same scene remained in specialised PG courses available on Non-Grant/ Management quota seats. In FE Engineering admission, many colleges took hefty sum of above 50k depending on desired course vacancy status. In MBA, colleges charged around 30k+ for admission to their Quota. This new 'Donate generously' system has given birth to a new business on commissioning and meditation between colleges and parents and the education seems turning to a business rather a future shaping tool.
Even after taking such sum, colleges are not concentrating harder to educate thy students so as they could excel their mark sheets. Students still have to take assistance of private institution favoured by their faculty members to complete and learn their syllabi in detail.
The advantage of having a University is city seems lesser rather turning more of political. Having University in hometown could have lead to good growth of student community in the city and improved quality of education. Initiating more and more courses from time to time is a real good concept provided you have enough faculty team to handle and shine in that course. Of more than 350 courses offered by NMU, many courses like Bio-Technology, Information Technology still lack proper resources, infrastructure and laboratory setup.
No doubt, we are creating thousands of students every year, but those students still require a professional touch and practical field knowledge. Moreover constant Orientation to faculty members is needed to keep them updated with latest technology and happenings rather teaching the traditional ways. Every college must have at least one classroom for faculty members training having at least a seminar/ workshop in a month to improve and demonstrate thy skill set.

02nd July:
JCMC fiasco:
With lower monsoon, the whole of Jalgaon city once again has come to a hung situation with city having water storage just for 15 days. If the monsoon downturn continues, the citizens of city will again have to exercise a lot to get two buckets of drinking water. Currently whole of Jalgaon gets supply from Girana dam located in Nashik District and around 7 to 8 MLD from MIDC.
If the same scenario continues, JCMC will reschedule drinking water supply to once in three days or once in two days. This will not only profit private water suppliers but also cause severe fury among one of highest local taxes and living cost paying Jalgaonkari.
On another front as per the Hon'ble Court order, the JCMC administration is pledging its owned 17-story building and owned complexes to Bank as collateral security for its Loan taken against Housing projects. The JCMC will take final decision in this regards in upcoming standing committee meeting.
