Never measure other people according to your own lifestyle. Each one is different, which makes for an interesting world.

[Goanet] Tiatr Academy's Activities for the year 2009 - 10
Dears, Attached are the Schemes and Programmes of Tiatr Academy of Goa for the financial year 2009 - 10 Thanks Tomazino Tiatr Academy of Goa Panaji - Goa Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo, President of Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG) addressed the Goa Press on 3rd July, 2009 in order to announce about the schemes and activities of the TAG for the financial year 2009 - 2010. The details are as under: Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG) was officially inaugurated on 16th Februray, 2009 by the Hon. Chief Minister of Goa, Shri. Digamber Kamat. Soon after the inauguration, Code of Conduct due to Parliamentary Election was announced by the Election Commission of India. Government could not transfer any funds to TAG and the TAG could not do any activities. It is only when the Code of Conduct was lifted by the Election Commission in the month of May, the TAG started functioning. A meeting of all Tiatr artistes of Goa was also convened and their views were also taken for planning for the year 2009 - 2010 The activities planned for the year 2009 - 2010 are as follows: (i) Documentation of the history of Tiatr (a) TAG has resolved to document the history and experiences in the field of Tiatr by interviewing old artistes of Tiatr which includes writers, directors, actors, singers, musicians, persons involved in stage setting, light effects, background music, etc. etc. on VCDs and DVDs. (b) It was also resolved to document the history of tiatr by publishing books on history, critical appreciation and on any other topics related to Tiatr, its song and music. (ii) Encouragement to production of Tiatr in villages TAG has resolved to formulate a scheme to promote tiatr activities in the villages among the children and youth by giving them the required financial and technical support. Institutions / groups / dramatic troupes / etc interested in promoting Tiatr culture among the children/youth in the villages can take benefit of this scheme. The participating children/youth must be the residents of that village and their age should not exceed 20 years. Maximum of five senior artistes from the same village will be permitted to act in that tiatr. (iii) Promotion of Tiatr through educational institutions TAG felt that the students in the schools and colleges must be made aware of the Goan traditional Tiatr - its history and its importance in the Goan society. Therefore it has been resolved to formulate a scheme to promote Goan Tiatr through schools, colleges and other educational institutions by organizing seminars, lectures, etc. for the students of educational institutions. (iv) Raising the standard of Tiatr (a) Improvement of the standard of Tiatr in all respects is the need of the hour. Therefore TAG has unanimously resolved to organize workshops/seminars, etc on various aspects of Tiatr such as Script writing, Acting, Direction, Light Effects, Stage Setting, Back Ground music, etc. by inviting knowledgeable resource persons in theatre art from other languages. It has also been decided that TAG may collaborate with any other institution/organization while conducting these seminars/workshops, etc. (b) Another way to learn more about theatre art and to improve the standard of tiatr is to witness high standard dramas from other languages and gain more knowledge about the new trends in modern theatre. Therefore TAG has resolved to encourage tiatr artistes to witness high standard dramas in other languages which are staged in Goa by providing them the required incentives. (v) Preservation of Tiatr literature Tiatr literature needs to be preserved for posterity. This can be done by publishing books of scripts of Tiatrs, One Act Plays and Lyrics of songs, with or without music scores, etc. Therefore TAG has resolved to publish books of scripts of Tiatrs, One Act Plays and Lyrics of songs, with or without music scores, etc. (vi) Promotion of Tiatr music The TAG has observed that the number of musicians playing blowing instruments such as Trumpet and Saxphone is decreasing day by day and that these two instruments are very important in the music of the Tiatr. In view of this the TAG has resolved to formulate a scheme to encourage youth and others to learn to play blowing instruments particularly Trumpet and Saxphone by providing them with financial assistance. (vii) Reaching out to Goans all over the world TAG is of the opinion that Tiatr Academy of Goa should reach out to Goans living in different parts of the world through internet and through other modern means of mass communication. Hence TAG has resolved to create a Web-site of Tiatr Academy of Goa giving detailed information of TAG and its activities. (viii) Promotion of Aw

Hello Santano, What you sat makes sense. Why ? ; If the infrastructure is not ready or created in advanced ; namely Water , electricity, roads, sewer lines, telephone lines, gas lines ,garbage disposal system etc there is going to be helluva a problem and all living there will be inconvenienced terribly to the point of severe agitations leading to sickness in the form of high blood pressure , diabetes, heart problems - in short life will be too stressed for the people for someone else's comfort. Its happening in Thane City, Navi Mumbai, Mumbai suburbs and other places. Whose making whack are the builders who laugh all the way to the banks. So Think Deeply all and consider the +Ves & -Ves. Ashley -Original Message- From: SANTANO VAZ Reply to: British citizens buying property in Goa (Gabriel de Figueiredo) We goans don't have problem when our fellow goan brothers and sisters buy properties or settled in other countries, as their government encourages migration and hence their government are obliged to make law as per these regulations and they will do that as they have good infrastructure and vast land and very less population.

At the present I am sincerely and deeply moved to nominate Father Cedric Prakash, s. j. for the Rught Livelihood Award. This Jesuit's almost single-handed labours against the entrenched fundamentalist regime in the Indian state of Gujarat, and relentless persecution of the minorities, is truely awesome and goes a very long way to offer vitally essential measure of comfort, courage and hope to the hapless downtrodden masses in Gujarat. I take the liberty to point out that every possible international encouragement for Fr Cedric Prakash, is cardinal not only for the success of his endearvours to safeguard civil liberties in the country and the state but also to keep him safe, as far as possible, from attempts on his life. Please, kindly, advise me and inumerable other well-wishers of Fr Cedric Prakash, on the due formalities and requisites in formally submiting the nomination papers of Fr. Prakash. In case it is already far delayed for this year's consideration I would respectfully nominate him for the most distinguished "Alternate Nobel Award" for 2010.

Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 13:47:59 + From: SANTANO VAZ there are so many ways NRI goans can help goan comunity but not by selling goa to outsiders, I am sure there are many NRI's who are now experts on garbage bisposals and recycles this will be a best coause to come back to your home land and assist our goverment to solve this great mistry of garbage in goa. Mario observes: Why just NRI's? Do you think they are NRI's because their priority is Goa? Selling Goa to any western foreign outsiders would help in addressing the garbage problem in Goa because a) they don't have a garbage problem in the countries they come from and b) they have the money to enhance the properties they buy. The science of waste management is well developed in the west, and believe me, it is no mystery, just the will to make it a priority. There is no reason for a country like India, with more brainpower than any other country except perhaps China, to also be one of the filthiest countries on the planet, or to have a xenophobic attitude towards "outsiders" and "foreigners" and the investment they bring. No one invests in a place with the intention of making it worse.

Some FAQs Usually, how many subjects in SSC ? - 6 i.e. 3 languages (English, Hindi and Optional Laguage), Maths, Sicence & Social Sciences. I failed in 2, can I join College from the current academic year? - Yes, Education Minister proposed some extra classes to make up with the lost time. Only SSC? What about HSSC? - One or two subject failed in HSSC to can continue college. Would there be enough seats available in the colleges to accommodate ATKTs? My son, although passed in in SSC, found it difficult as his average was too low. - Well, good question. Forwarding to Education Minister. Hey, I always wanted to go to college, but failed SCC in 5 subjects in 2007. After 5 attempts, total now remains 2 i.e. Maths and Science. Can I also go to college now? - I am forwarding this query to Education Minister ATKT = Allowed To Keep Terms Is very common at college level degree courses. Under ATKT, you are allowed to continue with your studies provided you re-appear and pass within the year or say within 6 months. Unless you clear your ATKT or pass in all the failed subjects, you are not likely to be allowed to appear in your college final exams.

[Goanet] Egg breakfast enhances weight loss. [Int J ObesLond). 2008] - PubMed Result
Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 20:51:40 +1000 From: "Con Menezes" Egg Breakfast enhances Weight loss. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18679412?ordinalpos=2&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum Excerpt: DESIGN: Otherwise healthy overweight or obese participants were assigned to Egg (E), Egg Diet (ED), Bagel (B) or Bagel Diet (BD) groups, based on the prescription of either an egg breakfast containing two eggs (340 kcal) or a breakfast containing bagels matched for energy density and total energy, for at least 5 days per week, respectively. The ED and BD groups were suggested a 1000 kcal energy-deficit low-fat diet, whereas the B and E groups were asked not to change their energy intake. Further, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The egg breakfast enhances weight loss, when combined with an energy-deficit diet, but does not induce weight loss in a free-living condition. The inclusion of eggs in a weight management program may offer a nutritious supplement to enhance weight loss. [end of excerpt] Mario responds: As far as I know, the only way to achieve any real and lasting weight loss is to use one's basic akkal which means that one's caloric output in terms of activity and exercise must exceed one's caloric input in terms of what one eats and drinks. I don't know what they are putting in the bagels used in the study but I find it hard to believe that eating two eggs a day made no difference to total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides.

GREATEST KONKANI SONG HITS #3:
___
transcribing the fine music of a great culture - revisiting
the original magic, and recreating a modern idiom:
__
"MALAIKA"
__
"Angel"
_
A. LEGEND: "Malaika"
>From the Konkan belt, hundreds of thousands migrated to foreign
pastures over two centuries, most of these to Africa. When many
returned, they turned out not only gifted performers who formed
scintillating troupes, but brought back raw, hypnotic melodies
from the Dark Continent to become an indelible part of Goan music.
Innumerable bands in Goa and the diaspora respond to ceaseless
requests for "Malaika", "Mama Sofia", "Lala Salama", Jambo Bwana".
Malaika ("Angel") is of course indisputably the most famous melody
to emerge from Africa. Over two score composers are listed in the
Swedish copyright database as claiming its authorship, from Adam
Salim to the late Fadhili Williams, who won the copyright battle
(1986). Research indicates a traditional Tanzanian lullaby source.
Characterised by the familiar "rolling bass" melodic hook in the
much-hackneyed opening chord-progression, and the serene tonic-
dominant harmony, our young man here laments his inability to pay
the bride-price resulting in his beloved going to another. Harry
Belafonte, Boney M, Miriam Makeba, Angelique Kidjo, and many Goan
bands have all recorded this great tune. Throughout the diaspora
they remain fascinated by this universally evocative song-hit.

B. TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED: "Malaika"
Mombasa, East Africa, 1854.
The girl was half-caste, hazel eyed with light brown hair, quite
aptly named Jeanie by her mother - a Scottish missionary, who'd
met and tried unsuccessfully to convert her father, a lithe Arab
trader with rippling muscles. The boy was chocolate, bummed the
dazzling Nyali sands for coins as a child, earning the sobriquet
"Pesa" or money. They met one lazy summer, fell headlong in love.
He sang to his angel, and Jeanie's soft "pesa wasumbua" refrained
concerns for him. Her father was a traditional Omani though and
betrothed her to an elder from the Old Town, who brought a great
dowry. The penniless boy was heartbroken and watched the wedding
ceremony at the sands' edge, as the dowry was counted. Suddenly the
girl lit a match to the money, jumped in and was consumed by flames.
The boy rushed to her rescue and caught fire as a huge wave roared
down sweeping them both out to sea. From the magnificent pyre a
silken phoenix rose and melted into the sweet summer air. Only the
old women remembered that the fairy spirit of the sea took the form
of a bird, and why yes, the Swahilis did call this spirit a jinni.
"I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Borne like a vapor on the sweet summer air..."

Re: [Goanet] foreigners buying property in goa
Question: What is the age demographic of the Brits who are buying / have bought properties in Goa? If it is the young, there could be a problem - how can they afford to rent at home (UK) and yet own a property in Goa, and afford the travel to and fro, and work at least eleven months in the year? Surely in this present economic clime, the property prices in the UK must have crashed after the bubble burst (as in the late 1980s/early 1990s)? So would make sense to buy there now? If it is the semi-retirees and retirees, I can understand. Gabriel. PS Some of our Goans on this forum are really racist, aren't they? They have already classified the foreigners, and considered them as "poverty-stricken". Others have classifed the foreigners as "rich whites". Where will this end? Aren't we all human? All having their own urges, failings, faults and other physical and mental issues that bugs people one time or another? Is there any perceived need to classify them into various "orderly boxes" so that one can "see order in a stratified system"? Why can't we live with one another as a miscegenous whole?

[Goanet] Nothing in the budget for Goa to cheer about: industry
Nothing in the budget for Goa to cheer about: industry Panaji, July 6 (IANS) Neither Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat nor the captains of industry have acknowledged any specific benefit to the state's crucial tourism industry in the union budget presented Monday. While the Congress chief minister in his formal reaction welcomed the budget for its thrust on rural development and listed a string of generic highlights, Kamat failed to acknowledge how the financial exercise would specifically benefit Goa. The Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry has categorically said that the budget brought no cheer to Goa. "There is nothing in the budget for Goa to cheer about. Though Goa ranks very high as an international tourist destination, there is hardly any tourism infrastructure," a GCCI spokesman said. The spokesman further said that the finance minister had failed to look at requests made by the GCCI for tax exemption under Section 80 IB to industries coming up in the five backward talukas (blocks) of Goa. "This could have helped create employment for local youth. However, this has not happened. We sincerely hope that our representatives in the parliament will be able to convince the finance minister about Goa's needs," the GCCI said. President of the Trade and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG) Ralph D'Souza admitted that the budget had no specific relief for Goa, adding that demands made by the state to the finance ministry for improving tourism infrastructure had fallen on deaf ears. "Two specific proposals which were forwarded by Goa were not taken into consideration by the finance minister," Ralph told reporters. "Now we have to be clever enough to utilize the Rs.1,00,000 crore set aside for developing infrastructure in the states. We could use the finances to develop hinterland tourism," D'Souza said, emphasizing that Goa would have to think of ways to tap the increased funding set aside for infrastructure development in the budget. "We have to use the monies to create infrastructure in Goa's rural areas, which will help in easing tourism away from the already congested urban regions," D'Souza said. D'Souza also said that Goa, with its rich heritage, should also utilize the increased funding for conservation of its architectural heritage in the budget as a potential means of earning tourism revenue. The lack of attention given to Goa by the central government had already been highlighted by the two Congress MPs Francisco Sardinha (Lok Sabha) and Shantaram Naik (Rajya Sabha), both of whom had expressed disappointment with Mamata Banerjee's railway budget. "Goa shouldn't be considered as a passing station and used only as a corridor. We need to have a few trains that start from Goa," Naik had said.

[Goanet] Frankfurt, Germany: Annual Goa Nite Ball - 2009
By Mariano Pereira, Frankfurt Germany The Annual "Goa Nite Ball" held on 20 June 2009 in Frankfurt by the Goan Association Germany was the event of the year for the small Goan Community here with quite a large participation of Goans, Germans and other nationalities. As many as 200 people attended the function. The hall was packed to its capacity which is rare here in comparison to the small number of Goans existing in this part of the world. The Band "GOAN FUSION" came specially from Paris and played almost non-stop Goan and international tunes that kept the entire dancing floor permanently under occupation by the dance aficionados. The "GOAN FUSION" comprising of four young Goan musicians from Paris as Vito Oliveira, the President of Goan Association Germany mentioned, provided their services free of charge to the Goan Community. A sumptuous assorted buffet of homemade Goan Veg & non-Veg dishes was served under the special guidance of Michael Mascarenhas. Red Vine, German Beer and other beverages were flowing freely in the bar. Despite unawareness on the number of guests attending the function the committee members must be commended for no shortage of food even for a second serving. Historically the idea of prior notification by the participants has never worked well here with the Goan community. What comes to mind is the ever increasing number of young generation participating in the GAG activities and the attraction of people coming from far away destinations. If the trend continues the GAG would have to keep the pressure on the accelerator to tackle the challenges going forward. Avelar Nunes did a fine job as usual compering the show and kept the crowd entertained until late evening. Vito and his team comprising of Gordon Ferrao, Jerome Simoes, Michael Mascarenhas, Avelar Nunes and Joanita Bach deserves a pat on the back for the well organized function. =
[Goanet] GOA GOVERNMENT FACES YET ANOTHER MOCKERY
It has now been revealed that the proposal to instruct the Public Prosecutors and Assistant Public Prosecutors at various courts in Goa to withdraw prosecutions filed under Sec 506 of Indian Penal code was initiated by the Advocate General of Goa, Mr. Subodh Kantak. The tearing hurry with which the file with this proposal mooted by the Advocate General snaked through the corridors of power in one evening has left many questions unanswered. Advocate General Subodh Kantak’s proposal was handed over to the Under Secretary, Home on 30th June at 5.30 pm. The same after being viewed by the Special Secretary (Home) was processed by the Under Secretary, Home and put up again to the Special Secretary (Home) who then passed it on to the Law Secretary after whose perusal the file was placed before the Chief Secretary and then the file traveled to the Home Minister and later to the Chief Minister, all that same evening. Why the hurry to consider an issue with such far reaching legal repercussions has not been explained. Why the Advocate General decided to show so much eagerness and interest in personally moving the proposal, also remains unanswered. This, when viewed in contrast to files concerning welfare measures for the Aam Aadmi that crawl if not stalled for weeks and months together, leaves one flabbergasted. State Governments usually seek legal opinion from an Advocate General but in this case it was the Advocate General’s proposal that was sent to the government for consideration and approval. The legal position is that offences under 506 of the Indian Penal Code have been cognizable and non-bailable in the State of Goa from 1973. By the Corrigendum dated 5th July 1973 published in the Official Gazette dated 26th July 1973 to the earlier Notification published in the Official Gazette dated 5th July 1973 offences under Section 506 of IPC have been expressly made cognizable. The Honourable High Court will now decide whether Section 506 of IPC is cognizable and non-bailable in the State of Goa. It is under this very section that Health Minister of Goa Mr. Vishwajit Rane has been charge sheeted. It is for the first time that a Minister has legally challenged a government notification. Ironically the notification issued in 1973 making Sec 506 cognizable and non bailable was issued when Mr. Pratapsingh Rane was the Law Minister and has come to haunt his son Vishwajit Rane 36 years later. In his five page note to the Government proposing that cases under Sec 506 be withdrawn, Advocate General Subodh Kantak has agreed that the corrigendum issued on 27th June 1973 was not brought to the notice of the High Court earlier and that the police were also not aware of the corrigendum while himself stating that the corrigendum was sent to him by the Director General of Police on 29th June this year. What is surprising is that though the Advocate General in his note states that the later notification dated 11th May 2004 was not published and yet he submits that the said notification superseded the 27th June 1973 notification. The Special Secretary, Home disagreeing with the Advocate General’s view, has very rightly in his notings stated that the issue whether non publication of notification dated 11th May 2004 makes it unenforceable and that offences mentioned in the notification including 506 of IPC cannot be treated as cognizable and non-bailable is a matter that should be left to the Honourable High Court to decide. On the issue of withdrawal of cases the Special Secretary, Home stated that the opinion of the Law department be sought. The Law Secretary in his notings refraining from commenting on the Advocate General’s proposal states that any opinion given by Advocate General on any issue is final and that the Home department should follow the opinion and advice of the Advocate General. What the Law Secretary failed to appreciate was that this was not a mere opinion or advice from the Advocate General but the proposal itself was initiated by the Advocate General himself which is contrary to rules of business of government. The Chief Secretary in his noting has candidly stated that the Law Secretary by not offering his view on the issue has left the whole issue unanswered. It is shocking to note that instead of awaiting the decision of the Hon. High Court on the issue whether Section 506 is cognizable and after non-bailable, the haste of the Government in deciding to rush with instructions to the PPs and APP’s, is a clear collusive attempt to undermine the judicial process and the charge-sheet against the Health Minister of Goa Mr. Vishwajit Rane. The decision of the government to withdraw all prosecutions under Sec 506 of IPC is malafide, having been taken to benefit the Health Minister of Goa Mr. Vishwajit Rane to save him from facing a criminal trial. It is pertinent to note that while the issue of the charge sheet against the Health Minister was before the High Court, that Advocate General Mr. Subodh Kant

Dear Goankars, I would like to compliment Santano Vaz and Frederick on their below e-mails. It is really sad to know from Santano's e-mail that all the "CHINDI foreigners" i.e. the poverty-stricken foreigners are buying property in Goa, while Frederick has made us Goans sit up and realize that some of us Goans are racist. >On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 9:47 AM, SANTANO VAZ wrote: >> >> Reply to: British citizens buying property in Goa (Gabriel de Figueiredo) >> Why Brits coming to Goa: this is what my UK colleagues told me.

Or a Dalit from Mayawati's UP is a better neighbour in Wimbledon? Or, do you just mean "rich Whites" are better neighbours? Is this another way of saying we Goans are as much (if not more) class-biased and racist as they come... even when we are ourselves brown, have mostly known poverty in our (or our parents) lifetimes, and have live in the countries of the South in most cases (Asia including Goa or Bombay or Karachi, Africa even if under a colonial dispensation, the Gulf and so on) Mario asks: Fred, Doesn't it depend on the individual Sri Lankan Tamil or the Dalit Bhayya? In some cases, if they are educated and well-to-do professionals they may make as good neighbors as anyone else. However, their stereotypes almost certainly will not and you may end up with a neighborhoos redolent with the wafting aromas of sambhar and cow cakes:-)). Also, is it "racist" to observe that "rich White" foreigners make better neighbors than poor brown desis as far as the neighborhood is concerned? Or, is this just a fact.
[Goanet] How many more Highways
Goans must beware. There were justified objections to a 6-lane NH through Goa as it would lead to many houses being demolished. So now the team from the ministry of surface transport has rested for 4-lane with just 45 houses having to be demolished according to churchill Alemao the PWD minister. The problem is whether New Delhi is going to decide for Goans or are Goans going to decide what is good for themselves? We already have one NH which is causing havoc to the villages along the route. How many more NHs do we need for a 3700 sq km. tiny dot like Goa? What is the quantum of trade generated that warrants passing a NH through the very belly of Goa. Goans made ione mistake on the konkan railway which has now proved to have eased the travel of criminals. The government will first come with 4-lane and once established it will advocate 6-lanes. Important tactic is like first entering the belly and then spreading the legs to cause considerable pain. We need not mention that construction of infrastructure is far from need-based but is definitely greed-based, meant to generate tenders and kick-backs. It is required to speculate land prices along the route. Nothing else. Goa Assly. elections are due for 2011, the Congress and other politicians need the money to fight it. Goans Awake! It is no Church on the Hill. It is CHURCHILL of the Congress -Soter D'Souza.

[Goanet] Is God against alcohol?
The Capuchin friars at Monte de Guirim had a vineyard. They manufactured some of the best grape wine (dakancho soro) until the early Eighties, which they sold as 'mass wine'. Many churches in North Goa, including St. Michael’s and St. Anthony’s churches in Anjuna and our five chapels, bought mass wine from Monte de Guirim. To my knowledge, priests in Goa used ‘wine’ (dakancho soro) at a mass and not 'juice'(ros.)

[Goanet] 25% of Govt servants are not SSCE: Census - Like MLAs and Ministers so also are the Govt servants?
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994) 25% of Govt servants are not SSCE: Census HERALD REPORTER/ PANJIM, JULY 5 Even in the age of information technology and high qualifications, the State has twenty five percent of employees who have not passed SSCE. The report “The Census of Goa Government Employees” compiled by the Department of Planning and Statistics and Evaluation, states that 11775 Government employees have not cleared SSC exams. The report, which has claimed that there was an increase of 3.8 percent in the Government employees between 2005 and 2007, has further stated that there are 17639 employees who are above SSC. This is at a time when the State is boasting of 82 per cent literacy rate. What is baffling further is among the 47718 strong work force, the State has only 7918 graduates and 2167 post graduates. The report covers all the Government employees working with the 76 departments, 13 public sector undertakings and 16 grant-in-aid institutions. The report also points out there are 3644 diploma or ITI certificate holders while 1792 are professionals in government departments and State PSUs. The survey further states that seventy five percent of the employees in the government departments are Hindus, with their number being 36672. There are 9935 Catholics, 1068 Muslims and 43 others (not given religion), the report states. The report also reveals that between 2005 and 2008, when Pratapsing Rane was the chief minister, Police Department had recruited maximum personnel (672), followed by Health Department (464). The Health Department was headed by Dayanand Narvekar then. Electricity department (232) and Education Department (173) were the third and fourth highest recruiters during that period.
