All dams and reservoirs are overflowing in the State, owing to the recent rain. Compare to last year, rainfall ratio is much better than this year. Even though there is a sufficient rainfall, why is it that there is electricity scarcity in Tamil Nadu?
The existing two-hour load shedding may be reduced to one hour per day.

Scrap VAT on generators
Tamil Nadu has been experiencing permanent power cut problems more than a year as there is a permanent load shedding schedule for each and every part of the State for fixed hours.
In these modern days of computer era, every house dependents on electricity, leave alone business places and industries.
Generators and inverters have come to the rescue. To make generators available to the middle class people, the State Government should completely scrap Value Added Tax (VAT) on generators and inverters. The Government should, at the same time, enforce a long-term solution to the power problem.

Uniform painting for buses
Nowadays, all buses, including moffusel as well as town buses, have different colours of enamel paintings. One cannot, particularly the poor and illiterate, easily locate / identify the town buses among them at bus stand. In other words bus users are put to hardship to distinguish town buses from others. Two decades ago all town buses had aluminium painting throughout the State, which enables the public to easily identify the town buses even at a considerable distance.

A. Shenbagavalli, Registrar (in-charge), Alagappa University has asked parents and caretakers to develop science culture in the minds of younger people in order to motivate them to become scientists.
Inaugurating the CSIR (Counsil of Scientific and Industrial Research) Programme on Youth for Leadership in Science (CPYLS) at the Central Electrochemical Research Institute at Karaikudi on Thursday, she said parents were always motivating their children by telling them that they should aim for doctors or engineers. Though there was nothing wrong in the trend, they should know that scientist as a profession was not inferior to any other vocation. It was a step ahead in terms of earning or gaining name and fame. Several persons, including Ramakrishnan Venkatraman and others, achieved highest positions in their career simply by choosing science as their profession.
Ms. Shenbagavalli said that contemporary generation could not imagine life without scientific inventions that manifested each and every functions of life. Whether it was electricity, television, information technology, health and medicine, science was ruling the world. Many more inventions had to be waited for discovery. Hence, the students should develop the aim of becoming scientific leaders.
N. Palaniswamy, Scientist, who presided over the function, said it was an era of material science. Opportunities were abundant for students to become leaders in science. Women could contribute much to the development of science. There were many instances where women have brought laurel to the country in science fields. Hence, women should also come forward to engage in research activities.
S. Ramar, Chairman, CPYLS, said the CECRI had been organising CPYLS programme since 1999 for the 50 toppers in CBSE, ICSE, Matriculation and State Board examinations annually and they were given exposure in the CECRI Laboratory and others.
S. Syed Azim, Head, ICP and R. Rajasekar, Coordinator, CPYLS and others took part.
