Ancient Hindu scriptures the Vedas, recorded thousands of years ago, are full of tantalizing hymns about it being the life-stream of the people. <br /> But as the centuries passed and no one could find it, myth, belief and religion came together and the Saraswati passed into the realm of folklore. Now most people in India think saraswati as a mythical river. Some even believe that it is an invisible river or that it still flows underground. Another commonly held perception is that the Saraswati once flowed through the north Indian city of Allahabad, meeting there with two other rivers, the Ganges and the Jamuna. The confluence of these three rivers - one of which is not visible to the eye - is considered one of India's holiest spots Environmental degradation after the Human settlements in Sindh Delta Arab Invasion of Sindh and settlements of Huns and Gujjars in Rajasthan caused so much loss of green cover that it diverted Sindhu River Delta from the Run of kucch to westward .1000 years ago Run of Kuch became a mighty expanse of salty sand and this degradation also reduced the water flow of Saraswati to Almost Nil and Like the death of Aral Sea Kazakstan in 20th century the once Mighty Saraswati River mentioned in Puranas and Vedas also went away But I hope One day Modi Govt will Do something Magical by Regreening Western Rajasthan Haryana and Punjab so that one day not now but maybe 50 years from now Hindus will see Our Sacred Sarawati Re-emerging<br /> Mr jagmohan had set up a team of four "experts" to undertake this onerous task. Scientists say new evidence could unearth the Saraswati. The legend of the mighty Saraswati river has lived on in India since time immemorial. <br /> In a radio programme, in 2002 Madhur Jaffrey recounted the legend of the Saraswati river - and explored startling new evidence that SARASWATI may not have been a myth after all. <br />Some historians say Saraswati continued to flow even in the 10 the Century in a much reduced stream Some also say its still flows in isolated broken streams like Ghaghhar <br />The GOI , with the assistance of hydrologists, geologists, archaeologists and space scientists, Help the project Started in 2002 to bring back the Saraswati River, which dried up in Vedic times. The dry bed of the "mythological" river was spotted in satellite photos, five miles wide, coursing from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea in ran of kutch . Some water still flows along this course, but underground.. <br />What a privilege it will be for N Modis Govt to be part of this endeavor, unparalleled in the history of human civilization, if a 1000 km. long SARASWATI river which got desiccated about 4000 years ago comes alive to enable the present and future generations to recollect memories of Vedic cultural heritage, which is a world heritage.navneethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908147815820611676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-51947217132930349652014-03-11T20:25:59.468-07:002014-03-11T20:25:59.468-07:00Bahut hi KrantikariBahut hi KrantikariAbhijithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774823872384172154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-51287713940739827252012-02-06T19:53:16.871-08:002012-02-06T19:53:16.871-08:00Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do ...Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.........Punithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288699456084900097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-41329210841554853512011-08-02T02:12:39.218-07:002011-08-02T02:12:39.218-07:00bahut accha lekhbahut accha lekhKhandwa Karmveerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969739718611449079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-91403978655340723762010-08-19T05:03:21.357-07:002010-08-19T05:03:21.357-07:00PRASUN JI

Ganesh Naik said that if shortage of funds is the reason for this, then they would consider repairing them with JNNURM funds.

Navi Mumbai boosts of many water bodies, which are found in nodes like Vashi, Turbhe, Ghansoli, Digha, Airoli and others. However, due to negligence over the years by the administration, these water bodies are dying a slow death. The beauties of the ponds are marred with immersions of religious idols which are still seen floating in the pond. There is dumping of debris and washing of clothes in the pond by the locals which has deteriorated the beauty of these water bodies. However, very soon these ponds will get a new lease of life as NMMC has decided to beautify the city ponds at an approximate cost of Rs 16 crores. This became the main topic of discussion in the NMMC Standing Committee meet where member Shivram Patil accused the administration of moving slowly on the tender process to beautify ponds. The administration has received funds from the MMRDA for the same. NMMC Standing Committee Chairman Sandeep Naik too urged the administration to bring in more proposals to beautify the city ponds. Presently only one proposal has been put forth by the NMMC administration.aaccordinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252548868175062339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-1264662690529899992009-11-23T23:52:05.617-08:002009-11-23T23:52:05.617-08:00State Assembly Highlights

But the voters have given a fitting reply to these allegations said Ganesh Naik after the results were announced as he once again established that he is the badshah of Navi Mumbai. <br />With Dr. Sanjeev Naik having been given the parliamentary candidature from Thane Lok Sabha constituency, the allegations of dynastic rule by the Naik family had begun. And when Sandeep Naik’s candidature was announced from Airoli, the opposition made dynastic rule of the Naik family a poll issue. So much so that the Congress corporators united and resigned from the party naming the past district Chief Namdeo Bhagat as the Congress rebel candidate against Ganesh Naik in Belapur constituency and Vasant Mhatre as the Congress rebel candidate from Airoli constituency. But the rebel factor seems to have had no impact on the electoral results as NCP candidates won with a comfortable lead in both Airoli and Belapur constituency.aaccordinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252548868175062339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-4643790698713490442009-10-30T02:30:20.435-07:002009-10-30T02:30:20.435-07:00Sandeep Naik duo clean sweep in Navi Mumbai
In wh...Sandeep Naik duo clean sweep in Navi Mumbai <br />In what seemed like a neck-to-neck fight in the first 15 rounds of counting, the battle tilted heavily in favour of NMMC standing committee chairman Sandeep Naik. In the remaining eight rounds towards the end, Chougule suffered serious setbacks in Bonkode, Kopar Khairne and large parts of Vashi.<br />Chougule, at one point, saw a lead of 2200 votes against Naik when votes from Airoli were being counted. In the end, however, out of the total of 1, 57,751 valid votes cast in the constituency, Naik got a lead of 11,957 votes. Naik got 79,075 votes while Chougule managed 67,118.<br />When asked the reason for not securing a good number of votes from Airoli, Sandeep said, "All party workers have worked equally hard in all places. It is just natural that some people have a stronghold in certain areas. But since a majority of voters have shown trust in me, I will try to win over the rest of them too," Sandeep said.aaccordinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252548868175062339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-76915437199971726872009-10-28T02:59:59.601-07:002009-10-28T02:59:59.601-07:00The Sandeep Naiks' main poll plank was develop...The Sandeep Naiks' main poll plank was development<br />The Naiks' main poll plank was development, with father and son repeatedly citing the Morbe Dam as a major achievement and promising more along the same lines.<br />Other much-touted achievements include the 14-km ThaneBelapur Road Project, the only highway in the state on which no toll is levied, and the introduction of Volvo and CNG buses for public transport.<br />The NMMC is also planning to earn carbon credit by reducing methane gas emissions and converting garbage into fuel and fertiliser.<br />As for the future, the Naiks have promised an independent power generation project to ensure 24-hour power supply to the city.<br />Other promises include more vertical growth, especially for dilapidated buildings and no increase in taxes. <br />The purchase of Morbe has made the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation -- where the NCP is in power too -- the first in the country to own its own dam.<br />With the pipelines ready, Navi Mumbai is now all set to receive 24x7 water supply, beating even neighbouring megalopolis Mumbai in this respect.aaccordinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252548868175062339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386740322427786163.post-37220461648243475042009-10-26T01:07:32.718-07:002009-10-26T01:07:32.718-07:00Ganesh Naik thank all those people who supported m...Ganesh Naik thank all those people who supported me from the beginning of my campaign.<br />“ On Thursday(22-10-09), I was a bit tensed when came to know that Chauguley was leading in the initial stages. However, I was confident about winning the polls. Now, my duty will be to identify the needs of the public and work accordingly. I will try my level best to fulfil our agenda," said an excited Sandeep. When asked whether he is happy with the margin with which he won, he answered, "I am happy with the margin since there was no MNS candidate and still we won with good margin. This indicates that youths and new voters registered with EC put faith in me. My victory is equally due to all NCP corporators and workers who put lots of efforts to the win from the constituency."aaccordinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252548868175062339noreply@blogger.com
