Office of the president and a person who occupy it are two different things. We
must WHY? be respectful to the office at all times and dutifully obey every
good order of the president Not authorized by Indian CVonstitutionbut must also
reject every bad decision of the occupant of office of president.
River Link Defies Gravity&Seasons and Jatropha are world’s most “Eccentric”
programs promoted by our president and he is silently conniving on poverty,
hunger, meter rigging by discoms, extortion by moneylenders and SEZ corporate
loot etc. Jatropha too is a land grab program. In the following ICAR link you
will find the yield under rain fed conditions is 1100 kg/ hectare, which means
cultivators earn revenue of Rs.5500/- per hectare Rice /Cereals/Oilseed
@6Ton/Ha=Rs60,000 http://www.icar.org.in/pr/10052006.htm
Had he offered to resign than signing the SEZ bill, But this was for TN’s gain
at India’s loss GOI would have relented and rescind the SEZ. He has not
followed any democratic tradition of speaking his mind but actually promoted
all the “Eccentric” programs.
Something about irrigation and water loss in canals I knew as five year old, if
you tell the president 100 times and 101 times also come up with exactly the
same opinion than there was terribly wrong in scientific president+Drinks
ExPM.
I am just expressing my opinion most of the states have actually rejected the
river link project already.
Was it not foolish of Kalam to urge Punjab farmers to grow poisonous Jatropha
trees that are deadly to known life forms when Punjab is the bread basket of
India is short of food grains.
The survey carried out by National Oil-seeds and Vegetable Oils Development
Board (henceforth referred only as NOVOD) as part of the "National Network on
Jatropha" reported variation in 'oil-content' from 21% to 48%. The
'oil-content' in the seeds collected from Maharashtra ranged from 21% to 42%.
While conducting this present study, it was found that the annual seed- yield
of Jatropha is highly variable and ranges from 0.4 tons/Ha to 12 tons/Ha=how
many litres of Diesel?. In Maharashtra, the only publicly reported results of
Jatropha plantation are from Mr. Vinayakrao Patil, a pioneer in Jatropha
plantation and Chairman of Maharashtra Agro-forestry Federation (Nashik).
According to him, results of Jatropha plantation raised on over 20,000 acres of
land between 1986 to1994-95 are not very encouraging, with yields of 1 to 1.5
tons/Ha in the third and fourth years.
Under "very good conditions", the seed production is reported to be as high as
5.0 Kg/tree or 12.5 metric tons per hectare. But in rain-fed conditions (lack
of irrigation) and poor soils, seed-yield could be as low as 0.6 Kg / tree or
1.5 metric tons/Ha. Thus, the higher seed-yield is likely to be possible only
from plantations on medium quality soils using quality-planting material and
after standardization and adaptation of cultivation practices (such as
irrigation, fertilizers, and pruning).
'D1 Oils', a private company, has reported several pests and diseases on
Jatropha plants. These include Calidea Bug, Fruit Borer, Leaf Webber, Weaver
Caterpillar, Mite
Infestation, and Root Rot Symptoms.
Thus, there is need to acknowledge that Jatropha can be prone to diseases and
pests, especially when large-sized monoculture plantations are established on a
wider scale.Is the Rocketman listening?

This is a common problem in humans they idolize rich and powerful and majority
of them have no capability to analyze the real achievements of high and mighty
which could be due to fear, lack of information and short of relevant
qualification and caliber.
Office of the president and a person who occupy it are two different things. We
must be respectful to the office at all times and dutifully obey every good
order of the president but must also reject every bad decision of the occupant

of Rs.5500/- per hectare or Rs.15/- day. This doesn’t even cover labor cost.

It is important to mention that Nasik is high rainfall area and the rainfall is
in excess of 2600mm but the Jatropha seed yield 1-2 tons is very poor and even
we assume oil content of 30%, 300 kg to 600 kg oil which priced only Rs.5 per
kg for seeds and Rs.20 per kg for oil means apart from poisoning the
environment it is commercially unviable also.
Please note this information was available to the president. It is most
disgraceful was the chief promoter of Jatropha.
He was not expected to do such things so when he did it on sustained basis for
years there must be something wrong.
I respect president of India but also condemn his eccentric programs.

Mr. Singh,
With respect I don't know what you does and what is your
qualification, since you have the so many problems and about others I don't
know exactly but for His Excellency Dr. Kalam I knows H.E. qualification and
how much H.E. has done for the country and for the Scientist and youths of
India.
I don't know you how much you are contributing for the progress of India but I
will reply later on
