In the circumstances stated above and  after careful examination of the matter, Government hereby approve the component of Maintenance Grant for an amount of Rs.23.16 Crores (Twenty Three Crores and Sixteen Lakhs only) per Academic year towards maintenance of Drinking water and Toilet facilities in the
above schools, so as to keep these facilities in safe and functional condition. The Maintenance Grant for Primary, Upper Primary and High Schools is as follows:-

Primary Schools with more than 60 students   -   Rs.1,000/- P.M..

Upper Primary Schools with more than 100 students  -Rs.1,500/- P.M

High Schools with more than 150 students   -   Rs.2,500/- P.M.

ORDER:
1. The Government is keen to fill up vacant posts under various categories in the State of Andhra Pradesh.  Accordingly, the Recruiting Agencies are notifying the vacancies from time to time.  

2. As the direct recruitment is being conducted after some gap, the need for enhancing the upper age limit from 34 years to 40 years is necessitated due to
inevitability of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and consequent fall out shrinking opportunities to the educated un-employee youth in the Andhra Pradesh. The opportunities that existed before the bifurcation of combined AP were lost after the bifurcation of the State. Hence the proposal to enhance the age limit from 34 years to 40 years became urgent need of the hour.  Accordingly, the following adhoc rule is
issued raising the upper age limit of 34 years prescribed in Rule 12 of the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996, by six years for the recruitments.

3. The following notification will be published in the Andhra Pradesh Gazette.

NOTIFICATION

ADHOC RULE:
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Andhra Pradesh State and Sub-ordinate Service Rules or in the Special or Adhoc Rules for any State and Subordinate Service, the maximum age limit prescribed in the said rules for appointment by direct recruitment shall be raised by “Six Years” i.e., from 34 to 40 years for the purpose of direct recruitment to the various categories of posts  to be notified from the issuance of this GO  and up to  30.09.2016 by all the recruiting agencies in the State of
Andhra Pradesh.  The age concession over and above the Upper Age Limit shall also be allowed to the categories as provided under Rule 12 of the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service Rules, 1996.

O R D E R:

1. In continuation of the Curriculum Reforms undertaken under National Curriculum Frame Work -2005 and Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, and with an objective to facilitate for a makeshift in the teaching learning process and to improve transactions of new technologies, and to transform the ways of learning to be comprehensive, holistic and dynamic, Government have brought in the Examination Reforms vide G.O. Ms. No. 17, School Education (PE.Prog.II) Dept. dated 14.05.2014  for classes IX and X from the academic year 2014-15 onwards. However, certain quantitative and qualitative measures were contemplated under the reforms such as reducing the number of papers from 11 to 9, giving 80% of the weightage to the Subject papers, and 20% of weightage to the Internal Assessment of the Student, Training for teachers on the new patterns of teaching and text books, summative and formating assessment etc., all of which require extensive capacity building at the level of all High Schools in the State of Andhra Pradesh but the said training programmes were not held due to various administrative reasons.

2. The Commissioner & Director of School Education, A.P. Hyderabad in Letters 2nd, 7th & 8th cited has stated, among other things, that  the concept of Internal Evaluation has not drilled into the minds of either Government Teachers or Private
Teachers. She has observed that there is a large number of Government as well as Private Schools in the State and introduction of the new procedure without taking adequate preparatory steps to orient the Teachers and Students to the new system will have serious ramifications on the future of the students. She has  also  explained the experience that the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan have introduced the concept of Comprehensive and Continuation Evaluation (CCE) since two years upto VIII class but in spite of continuous trainings being given, the teachers are not yet fully equipped with that system. The G.O. Ms. No. 17, School Education (PE.Prog.II) Dept. dated 14.05.2014 has reduced the Language papers whereas the basic objective of School Education is to impart languages in the early years of student life. As such reducing two papers of the Languages to one paper and giving lot of weightage to the Subjects is not desirable at School level. The Commissioner & Director of School Education, A.P. Hyderabad has also opined that it is not possible to monitor the Internal Evaluation of large number of Government and Private Schools in the State and the   new  system  would eventually result into reduction of academic standards. The Commissioner & Director of School Education, A.P. Hyderabad has, therefore, requested the Government to rescind/defer the G.O. Ms. No. 17, dt: 14.05.2014 and requested to accord permission to proceed with the following actions: 

1. The present X class examination will be based on new text books only.

2. There will be 11 papers with same marks like earlier practice.

3. There is no weightage for internal valuation.

4. The pass marks for Hindi will also be continued as 20 which is the existing practice.

5. Constitution of an Expert Committee with the Directors, RMSA, Government Examinations and SCERT to study and propose
modifications to the reforms mentioned in the G.O. Ms. No. 17, dated 14.05.2014.

3. Government have carefully examined the report of the Commissioner & Director of School Education, A.P. Hyderabad, and in the circumstances that require in depth study and consultation on the various academic issues raised in her report as well as the serious consequences of implementation without examination of these issues and, therefore, agreed with the same and decided to keep the G.O. Ms. No. 17, School Education (PE.Prog.II) Dept. dated 14.05.2014 in abeyance for the
Academic Year 2014-15 only. Accordingly, Government hereby keep the G.O. Ms. No. 17, School Education (PE.Prog.II) Department, dated 14.05.2014 in abeyance for the Academic Year 2014-15 and permit her to proceed with the actions proposed in para 2 above. 

4. Further, Government hereby constitute an Expert Committee with the following officers as proposed by the Commissioner & Director of School Education,
A.P. Hyderabad: - 

1. Director, RMSA,  A.P. Hyderabad

2. Director of Government Examinations, A.P. Hyderabad

3. Director, SCERT, A.P. Hyderabad

5. The Expert Committee shall widely study and hold extensive consultations on the reforms proposed in the G.O. Ms. No. 17, School Education (PE.Prog.II) Department, dated 14.05.2014 and make necessary recommendations / suggestions
on modifications required to the reforms so as to consider its implementation from the academic year 2015-16 onwards. The Expert Committee shall also prepare an action plan of preparatory works required such as Teacher Trainings etc. so as to

In the G.O. 1st read above, Government have  prescribed a  Pro-forma for Income Declaration Form to be filled by the students who intend to apply for issue of Income Certificates ( of parents) for the purpose of filing applications for scholarships/Fee  reimbursement. Further in the G.O. 2nd read above, certain instructions were issued regarding issue of Income Certificates by Revenue authorities for grant of Scholarships / Fee Reimbursement to students. 

2. In the reference 3rd read above, the Special Chief Secretary and Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, A.P, Hyderabad, has  reported that, as on 4.8.2012, 24.10 lakhs  requests are received in Mee-Seva centres 7.53 lakhs requests are disposed Across-The –Counter (ATC). Out of remaining 16.57 lakhs requests, 13.47 lakhs are approved within time frame. 77,505 are rejected, 2.05 lakhs requests are under process within time frame.  27,551 requests crossed prescribed time frame. Out of 27,551 requests which crossed time frame. 14,725 are for Income Certificates.  As per G.O 2
nd read above, the Tahsildars are the Competent Authorities for issue of Income Certificates and as of now, only Tahsidlars  can sign the Income Certificates digitally in Mee-seva portal.  Due to this,  even though the required enquiry is completed by Village Revenue Officers (VROs) and Mandal Revenue Inspectors (MRIs), Tahsildars are unable to digitally sign all enquired requests within the time frame as they have only one digital certificate per Mandal. Regarding issue of second “Digital Certificate”, National Informatics Centre, (NIC) authorities have informed that as per existing Electronic Laws only one digital certificate can be issued to an individual officer.  Many Joint Collectors requested that if second  digital certificate cannot be issued to Tahsildars, Deputy Tahsildars working in Tahsil offices at least be authorized as “Competent Authorities”  for issue of  Income Certificates in addition to Tasildars so that all “Deputy Tahsildars” can be issued “Digital Certificates” and the problem of Income Certificates crossing time frame can be resolved.

3. The Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, A.P, Hyderabad, has therefore requested the Government to issue necessary orders for authorizing “Deputy Tahsildars” in Tahsil offices as “Competent Authorities” for issue of Income Certificates in addition to Tahsildars.

4. Government after careful examination of the proposal, hereby  decide to  Authorize the “Deputy  Tahsildars” in Tahsil offices also as “Competent Authorities” for issue of Income
Certificates in addition to Tahsildars.

5. The Special Chief Secretary & Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, AP, Hyderabad and all the District Collectors   shall take further necessary action accordingly in the matter.

సౌకర్యం అందుబాటులోకి రానుంది. అయితే
డబ్ల్యూడబ్ల్యూడబ్ల్యూ మాత్రం ఇంగ్లీషులో
ఉంటుంది. స్థానిక భాషలో ఇంటర్నెట్ వెబ్ చిరునామా
(డొమైన్) టైప్ చేస్తే చాలు. ఉదాహరణకు ఠీఠీఠీ.
ఎన్ఎండీసీ.భారత్ అన్నమాట. డాట్ భారత్
ఎక్స్టెన్షన్ను నేషనల్ ఇంటర్నెట్ ఎక్స్ఛేంజ్ ఆఫ్
ఇం డియా(నిక్సి) అభివృద్ధి చేసింది. ఇప్పటికే ఉన్న ‘డాట్
ఇన్’ డొమైన్ ఎక్స్టెన్షన్కు రిజిస్ట్రీగా నిక్సి
వ్యవహరిస్తోంది.
కంటెంట్కేం కొదవ లేదు..: ఏ వెబ్సైట్లో ఏముందో
తెలుసుకోవడం ఇంగ్లీషు రానివారికి కష్టమే. ఇదంతా గతం.
ఇప్పుడు నిక్సి చొరవతో ప్రపంచంలో ఏ మూలనున్నా, ఏ
విషయాన్నైనా తెలుసుకోవచ్చు. చాలా వెబ్సైట్లు ఇప్పటికే
స్థానిక భాషల్లో కంటెంట్(విషయం) అందిస్తున్నాయి.
కంటెంట్ డెవలపర్లూ భారత్లో కోకొల్లలు.
డెవలపర్లకూ ఇప్పుడు నూతన వ్యాపార
వేదికలు దొరికినట్టే. కొత్త కొత్త యాప్స్ మార్కెట్లోకి
వస్తాయి. విప్లవం ఇప్పుడే మొదలైందని
అంటున్నారు డొమైన్ ఇన్వెస్టర్ అరవింద్ రెడ్డి. తెలుగు కీ
బోర్డులు, కంటెంట్ విస్తృతమైతే సామాన్యుడికి చేరువ
అయినట్టేనని చెబుతున్నారు. తెలుగు భాషను ఆధారంగా
చేసుకుని తెలంగాణ, ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్లో ఎంత కాదన్నా 1,500
మంది యాప్ డెవలపర్లు ఉంటారని సమాచారం.
వినియోగమూ పెరుగుతుంది..
ప్రస్తుతం దేశవ్యాప్తంగా 20 కోట్ల మందికిపైగా
ఇంటర్నెట్ను వినియోగిస్తున్నారని గూగుల్ చెబుతోంది.
2018 నాటికి 50 కోట్ల మందికిపైగా నెట్కు కనెక్ట్

11 facts about Global Warming

1. Global warming is the
increase of Earth's average
surface temperature due to
greenhouse gases, such as
carbon dioxide emissions from
burning fossil fuels or from
deforestation, which trap heat
that would otherwise escape
from Earth.
2. Greenhouse gases keep heat
close to the earth’s surface
making it livable for humans
and animals. However, global
warming is happening largely
due to an over-emittance of
these gases and fossil fuels
(natural oil, gasoline, coal).
3. With the start of industry in
the 1700's, humans began
emitting more fossil fuels from
coal, oil, and gas to run our
cars, trucks, and factories. By
driving a “smarter” car, you will
not only save on gas, but help
prevent global warming.
4. There is more carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere today than at
any point in the last 800,000
years.
5. In total, the U.S. emits
approximately 6 billion tons of
carbon dioxide every year. 40%
of that comes from power plant
emissions alone.
6. The NRDC (Natural Resources
Defense Council) proposed the
Clean Air Act to cut power plant
emissions by 26% in the next 7
years.
7. Since 1870, global sea levels
have risen by about 8 inches.
8. Consequences of global
warming include drought, severe
hurricanes, massive fires and
melting of the polar caps.
9. Heat waves caused by global
warming present greater risk of
heat-related illness and death,
most frequently among patients
of diabetes who are elderly or
very young.
10. According to the U.S. Global
Change Research Program, the
temperature in the U.S. has
increased by 2 degrees in the
last 50 years and precipitation
by 5%.
11. Global warming puts coral
reefs in danger as warmer water
increases the possibility of coral
diseases and the rising sea
levels makes it more difficult for
coral to receive adequate
sunlight.

చికెన్లో విరివిగా ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్- మనిషి ఆరోగ్యానికి ముంచుకొస్తున్న ప్రమాదం :: Centre for Science and Environment వారి రిపోర్టు ఆధారంగా

మీరు చికెన్ తినే వారయితే ఈ వార్త తప్పని సరిగా చదవాలి. మన దేశంలో చికెన్లో విరివిగా ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ ను ఉపయోగిస్తున్నారు.
కోళ్ళలో రోగాలను తగ్గించేందుకే కాకుండా అవి తొందరగా పెరిగేందుకు కూడా ఇష్టం వచ్చినట్లు ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ ను ఉపయోగిస్తున్నారు. ఆంటీబయాటి క్స్ ను కోళ్ళకు ఇచ్చే ఆహారంలో కలిపి ఇస్తున్నారు. దీని వల్ల కోడి తొందరగా పెరుగుతుంది. బరువు ఎక్కువగా ఉంటుంది. లాభాల కోసం కోళ్ళ పరిశ్రమ ఈ పని
చేస్తుంది. సెంటర్ ఫర్ సైన్స్ అండ్ ఎన్విరాన్మెంట్ జరిపిన అధ్యయనంలో 40 శాతం కోళ్ల్ళ సాంపుల్స్ లో ఈ ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్  కనిపించాయి. దీనివల్ల ఆ కోడిలోనే ఆంటీబయాటి క్స్ ను తట్టుకొనే బ్యాక్టీరియా పెరుగుతోంది. చికెన్ తిన్నప్పుడు ఈ బ్యాక్టీరియా మానవ శరీరంలోకి వెళ్తోంది. ఫలితంగా మనిషికి అవసరమొచ్చిపప్పుడు  ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ వాడినప్పుడు అవి పనిచేయడం లేదు. కోడి
మాంసం తినేవారు తమకు తెలియకుండానే కొద్ది మోతాదులో ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ ను అవసరం లేకుండా తీసుకుంటున్నారు. దీనివల్ల వారి శరీరాలు ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ పనిచేయకుండా తయారవుతున్నాయి. ఇప్పటికే సెప్టిక్, న్యుమోనియా, టి బి లాంటి రోగాలకు వాడే ఆంటీబయాటక్స్
పనిచేయడం లేదు. ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ ను తట్టుకునే బ్యాక్టీరియా మానవ శరీరంలోను, పర్యావరణంలోను తయారు కావడం వల్ల ఆ ఆంటిబయాటిక్స్ మనిషి అవసరమొచ్చినప్పుడు వాడినా కూడా
పనిచేయవు. అందులోను మనిషికి అత్యవసరమైన ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్. ను కోళ్ళ క్రుత్రిమ పెరుగుదలకు వాడుతున్నారు. ఈ.ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ పనిచేయకుండా అయితే మానవాళికి తీవ్ర ప్రమాదం.

ఇప్పటికే యూరోపియన్ దేశాలలో కోళ్ళ పెరుగుదలకు ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ ను వాడడం నిషేదించారు. మనదేశంలో కూడా తక్షణం దీనిని నియంత్రంచకుంటే తీవ్ర ఉపద్రవం రాబోతోంది అని నిపుణులు హెచ్చరిస్తున్నారు. మనదేశంలో కోళ్ళ పరిశ్రమ ప్రతి ఏడాది 10 శాతం పెరుగుదలను నమోదు చేసుకుంటోంది. మనం వాడే మాంసంలో 50 శాతం మేరకు చికెన్ యే ఉంటోంది. చికెన్ ప్రీయులు జాగ్రత్త
వహించడమే కాకుండా కోళ్ళలో ఆంటీబయాటిక్స్ ను క్రుత్రిమ పెరుగుదలకు వాడడానికి వ్యతిరేకంగా స్పందించాలి.

వాతావరణంలో రికార్డు స్ధాయిలో కర్బనవాయు నిల్వలు

భూమి వాతావరణంలో గ్రీన్ హౌస్ వాయు నిల్వల స్ధాయి రికార్డు స్ధాయికి చేరిందని ప్రపంచ వాతావరణ పరిశోధన సంస్ధ (వరల్డ్ మీటియరలాజికల్ ఆర్గనైజేషన్ -డబ్ల్యూ.ఎం.ఒ) తెలిపింది. గతంలో ఎన్నడూ ఇంత సాంద్రతతో గ్రీన్ హౌస్ వాయు నిల్వలు భూ వాతావరణంలో లేవని, 2012, 2013 సంవత్సరాల్లోనే అత్యధిక స్ధాయిలో ఈ నిల్వలు పెరిగాయని సంస్ధ చెప్పడం విశేషం.
గత రెండు, మూడేళ్లుగా ప్రపంచ దేశాలు కర్బన ఉద్గారాల (గ్రీన్ హౌస్ వాయువులు) విడుదలను తగ్గించడం ఎలా అన్న విషయాన్ని చర్చిస్తున్నాయి. వారు ఒక పక్క చర్చిస్తూనే మరో పక్క కర్బన వాయు నిల్వలను పెంచే విధానాలను యధా శక్తి అమలు చేస్తున్నారని డబ్ల్యూ.ఎం.ఒ వెల్లడించిన వివరాలు తెలియజేస్తున్నాయి.
డబ్ల్యూ.ఎం.ఒ చెబుతున్న వివరాలు ప్రస్తుత కర్బన ఉద్గారాల (carbon emissions) గురించి కాదు. 2013 నాటి వరకు విడుదల చేసిన కర్బన వాయువులు వాతావరణంలో ఏ స్ధాయిలో పేరుకునిపోయిందో తెలియజేసే వివరాల గురించి.
మానవ జీవనం వల్ల వెలువడే కర్బన ఉద్గారాలను తనలో ఇముడ్చుకునే శక్తి భూమిపై ఉన్న ప్రకృతికి సహజంగా ఉంటుంది. ఈ శక్తిని దాటిపోవడంతో సదరు వాయువులు వాతావరణంలో ప్రమాదకర స్ధాయిలో పేరుకుపోతున్నాయి. ఈ స్ధాయి గురించే డబ్ల్యూ.ఎం.ఒ చెబుతున్నది. ఇప్పుడు వాస్తవంగా ఏ స్ధాయిలో వివిధ దేశాలు కర్బన ఉద్గారాలను వెలువరిస్తున్నాయో... అన్నది వేరే లెక్క. దాని గురించి మాట్లాడితే మరింత ఆందోళన తప్పదు.
తన వార్షిక బులిటెన్ లో డబ్ల్యూ.ఎం.ఒ తాజా వివరాలను వెల్లడించింది. బులెటిన్ ప్రకారం 1990-2013 మధ్య కాలంలో వాతావరణంపై వేడి ప్రభావం (radiative forcing) 34 శాతం పెరిగింది. వాతావరణంలో ఎక్కువ కాలం పాటు నిలవ ఉండే గ్రీన్ హౌస్ వాయువులయిన కార్బన్ డయాక్సైడ్, మిధేన్, నైట్రస్ ఆక్సైడ్ లవల్లే ఈ పెరుగుదల సంభవించింది.
పారిశ్రామిక యుగం పూర్వం (1750) నాటి స్ధాయితో పోలిస్తే 2013లో వాతావరణంలో కార్బన్ డయాక్సైడ్ సాంద్రత 142 శాతం పెరిగింది. మిధేన్ సాంద్రత 253 శాతం పెరగ్గా, నైట్రస్ ఆక్సైడ్ సాంద్రత 121 శాతం పెరిగిందని డబ్ల్యూ.ఎం.ఒ పరిశోధకులు చెప్పారు. ముందే చెప్పినట్లు ఇవి కర్బన ఉద్గారాలు (carbon emissions) కాదు. 2013 వరకు వెలువడిన ఉద్గారాల వలన వాయావరణంలో పెరుకుపోయిన నిల్వలు.
1984 తర్వాత కాలంలో 2012, 2013 సంవత్సరాల లోనే CO2 నిల్వలు రికార్డు స్ధాయికి పెరిగాయని గ్లోబల్ అట్మాస్ఫియర్ వాచ్ సంస్ధ పరిశోధనల్లో తేలిందని పి.టి.ఐ తెలిపింది.
ప్రాధమిక వివరాల ద్వారా వచ్చిన అంచనాల ప్రకారం ఈ రికార్డు స్ధాయి నిల్వలకు కారణం CO2వాయువును ఇక ఎంతమాత్రం ఇముడ్చుకోలేని స్ధితికి బయోస్ఫియర్ చేరుకోవడం వల్లనే. దానితో పాటు CO2 వాయువు విడుదల బాగా పెరిగిపోతూ ఉండడం వల్ల కూడా నిల్వల స్ధాయి పెరుగుతోంది.
బులెటిన్ చెబుతున్న సాంద్రతలు, ప్రకృతిలో వివిధ రకాల చర్య, ప్రతిచర్యలతో పాటు, మానవుని ఉత్పత్తి కార్యకలాపాలన్నీ అయ్యాక వాతావరణంలో పేరుకుపోయిన గ్రీన్ హౌస్ వాయువుల నిల్వల స్ధాయిని తెలుపుతాయి.
గ్రీన్ హౌస్ వాయు ఉద్గారాలలో (emissions) పావు భాగాన్ని సముద్రాలు తమలో ఇముడ్చుకుంటాయి. మరో పావు భాగాన్ని బయోస్ఫియర్ (భూవాతావరణ వ్యవస్ధ) ఇముడ్చుకుంటుంది. ఆ విధంగా వాతావరణంలో మిగిలిపోయే CO2 నిల్వలను ప్రకృతి తగ్గిస్తుంది.
