We have a vast land than other countries , if govt planned for a long time benefits it will go for a wind,hydro or solar power projects. They are following who are not the natives of our land. so they will prefer a nuclear project only.

Accounting of revenues costs in Entertainment Ind. 13 May 2010 2,927 views No Comment A common practice amongst media owners is the bundling of space across various products, programmes, channels, publications and portals.

The following is a reproduction of from an article I wrote in 2004. 1. Harnessing the vast human resource in the country shall be the main objective. Most of the unrest and disharmony happening every where, may it be of social, political, various disruptions caused by actions and counter actions of different ethnic groups and communities turning into religious extremism, are due to the shift in the focus of life among the mass especially the village youth, and political are due to desperation fermenting of the prevailing situation that deprive them options and opportunities to grow up and lead a normal life.

If one need to go to an office to get anything now(not now I presume) one need to spend extra income to get it to functional levels. So on and so forth goes the extra income required to meet the...
