Unhappy with MSP hike, farmers’ outfit reminds PM Modi of +C2 promise

Image
"In 2013, the BJP demanded that the then UPA government declare Rs 2,100 as MSP for wheat. But today, the BJP government has declared Rs 1,735 as MSP for wheat...This is cheating with farmers. The government should keep its promises or be prepared to face results,” the farmer leader said. In recommendations made by agricultural scientist MS Swaminathan, the MSP for eligible crops is declared by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP).    The Gujarat Khedut Samaj, a farmers’ outfit in the state, on Sunday called the Minimum Support Price (MSP) hike announced by the Central government, “cheating with farmers” and demanded that the formula be reworked to include the C2 cost, as promised by the BJP during its 2014 election campaign. “The announcement made by Centre ...

Most Sensational Waterfalls Around the World

Image
Angel Falls 1 of 6 At a staggering 3,212 feet, Angel Falls in Venezuela is the world's highest waterfall. It's located on the Churun River, 160 miles southeast of Ciudad Bolivar. The falls are named after Jimmy Angel, an American explorer who crashed his plane on the flat plateau known as Auyan-Tepui, or "Devil's Mountain," in 1937. This area of land is where Angel Falls descends from, pooling at the 500-foot-wide base. Since Angel Falls is surrounded by dense jungle, the ideal way to view the waterfall is from the air. Another option is to wait until wet season, when the Churun River is high enough to allow for travel by boat. Iguazu Falls Iguazu Falls 2 of 30 There are 275 waterfalls that make up Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil. The tallest of these — and the most noteworthy — is Devil's Throat, at 262 feet. Pair that with the fact that about 1.5 million liters of water flow through Iguazu Falls ...
