LIFE & RELIGION

माला जपने से क्या फायदा ?

जप किसी शब्द अथवा मंत्र को दोहराने की क्रिया ही नहीं है। यह पूजा-पाठ की परंपरा का हिस्सा है तो विज्ञान भी। जब हम किसी शब्द को बार-बार दोहराते हैं तो उसे जप करना कहते हैं। पूजा पद्धति में जप के माध्यम से ईश्वर के स्वरूप पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया जाता है। राम, कृष्ण, शिव, दुर्गा, हनुमान आदि देवताओं के जप की परंपरा मिलती है। जप के माध्यम से भीतरी शक्ति को जागृत किया जा सकता है। आइए, जानें जप से किस तरह हम नई ऊर्जा से भर सकते हैं...।
जप के प्रकार-जप करने के तीन तरीके हैं-

वाचिक- जब किसी शब्द या मंत्र को आवाज के साथ दोहराया जाता है।

उपांशु- मुंह से आवाज नहीं निकालते हुए जीभ (जुबान) से शब्द को दोहराना।

मानसिक- केवल मन ही मन किसी शब्द या मंत्र को दोहराना।

जप के फायदे - जप करने से हमारे अंदर सोई हुई आध्यात्मिक शक्ति जागती है। जिससे पूजा में होने वाली अनुभूति को अधिक निकटता से अनुभव किया जा सकता है। ईश्वर की अनुभूति के नजदीक पहुंचने के लिए सभी धर्मों-संप्रदायों में जप का तरीका अपनाया गया है। चैतन्य महाप्रभु ने जप को काफी महत्व दिया। श्री रामकृष्ण परमहंस के अनुसार एकाग्र होकर प्रभुनाम का जप करने से उनके रूप के दर्शन और साक्षात्कार भी होता है। वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिï से भी जप के प्रभाव सिद्ध पाए गए हैं। सामान्यत: कठिन परिस्थितियों में हम अचानक भगवान का नाम लेने लगते हैं जिससे हममें कुछ शक्ति आती है, कुछ राहत मिलती है, एक अनजानी सुरक्षा की भावना उपजती है। जब अचानक शुरू हुए जप का इतना प्रभाव होता है तो नियमित जप की शक्ति का अनुमान लगाया जा सकता है।

शंख का पूजा में महत्व

हिंदू मान्यता के अनुसार कोई भी पूजा, हवन, यज्ञ आदि शंख के उपयोग के बिना पूर्ण नहीं माना जाता है। धार्मिक शास्त्रों के अनुसार शंख बजाने से भूत-प्रेत, अज्ञान, रोग, दुराचार, पाप, दुषित विचार और गरीबी का नाश होता है। शंख बजाने की परंपरा प्राचीन काल से चली आ रही है। महाभारत काल में श्रीकृष्ण द्वारा कई बार अपना पंचजन्य शंख बजाया गया था।आधुनिक विज्ञान के अनुसार शंख बजाने से हमारे फेफड़ों का व्यायाम होता है, श्वास संबंधी रोगों से लडऩे की शक्ति मिलती है। पूजा के समय शंख में भरकर रखे गए जल को सभी पर छिड़का जाता है जिससे शंख के जल में कीटाणुओं को नष्ट करने की अद्भूत शक्ति होती है। साथ ही शंख में रखा पानी पीना स्वास्थ्य और हमारी हड्डियों, दांतों के लिए बहुत लाभदायक है। शंख में कैल्शियम, फास्फोरस और गंधक के गुण होते हैं जो उसमें रखे जल में आ जाते हैं

आरती क्यों और कैसे?

पूजा के अंत में हम सभी भगवान की आरती करते हैं। आरती के दौरान कई सामग्रियों का प्रयोग किया जाता है। इन सबका विशेष अर्थ होता है। ऐसी मान्यता है कि न केवल आरती करने, बल्कि इसमें शामिल होने पर भी बहुत पुण्य मिलता है। किसी भी देवता की आरती करते समय उन्हें 3बार पुष्प अर्पित करें। इस दरम्यान ढोल, नगाडे, घडियाल आदि भी बजाना चाहिए। एक शुभ पात्र में शुद्ध घी लें और उसमें विषम संख्या [जैसे 3,5या 7]में बत्तियां जलाकर आरती करें। आप चाहें, तो कपूर से भी आरती कर सकते हैं। सामान्य तौर पर पांच बत्तियों से आरती की जाती है, जिसे पंच प्रदीप भी कहते हैं। आरती पांच प्रकार से की जाती है। पहली दीपमाला से, दूसरी जल से भरे शंख से, तीसरा धुले हुए वस्त्र से, चौथी आम और पीपल आदि के पत्तों से और पांचवीं साष्टांग अर्थात शरीर के पांचों भाग [मस्तिष्क, दोनों हाथ-पांव] से। पंच-प्राणों की प्रतीक आरती हमारे शरीर के पंच-प्राणों की प्रतीक है। आरती करते हुए भक्त का भाव ऐसा होना चाहिए, मानो वह पंच-प्राणों की सहायता से ईश्वर की आरती उतार रहा हो। घी की ज्योति जीव के आत्मा की ज्योति का प्रतीक मानी जाती है। यदि हम अंतर्मन से ईश्वर को पुकारते हैं, तो यह पंचारतीकहलाती है। सामग्री का महत्व आरती के दौरान हम न केवल कलश का प्रयोग करते हैं, बल्कि उसमें कई प्रकार की सामग्रियां भी डालते जाते हैं। इन सभी के पीछे न केवल धार्मिक, बल्कि वैज्ञानिक आधार भी हैं।

कलश-कलश एक खास आकार का बना होता है। इसके अंदर का स्थान बिल्कुल खाली होता है। कहते हैं कि इस खाली स्थान में शिव बसते हैं।

यदि आप आरती के समय कलश का प्रयोग करते हैं, तो इसका अर्थ है कि आप शिव से एकाकार हो रहे हैं। किंवदंतिहै कि समुद्र मंथन के समय विष्णु भगवान ने अमृत कलश धारण किया था। इसलिए कलश में सभी देवताओं का वास माना जाता है।

जल-जल से भरा कलश देवताओं का आसन माना जाता है। दरअसल, हम जल को शुद्ध तत्व मानते हैं, जिससे ईश्वर आकृष्ट होते हैं।

नारियल- आरती के समय हम कलश पर नारियल रखते हैं। नारियल की शिखाओं में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा का भंडार पाया जाता है। हम जब आरती गाते हैं, तो नारियल की शिखाओं में मौजूद ऊर्जा तरंगों के माध्यम से कलश के जल में पहुंचती है। यह तरंगें काफी सूक्ष्म होती हैं।

सोना- ऐसी मान्यता है कि सोना अपने आस-पास के वातावरण में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा फैलाता है। सोने को शुद्ध कहा जाता है।

यही वजह है कि इसे भक्तों को भगवान से जोडने का माध्यम भी माना जाता है।

तांबे का पैसा- तांबे में सात्विक लहरें उत्पन्न करने की क्षमता अधिक होती है। कलश में उठती हुई लहरें वातावरण में प्रवेश कर जाती हैं। कलश में पैसा डालना त्याग का प्रतीक भी माना जाता है। यदि आप कलश में तांबे के पैसे डालते हैं, तो इसका मतलब है कि आपमें सात्विक गुणों का समावेश हो रहा है।

सप्तनदियोंका जल-गंगा, गोदावरी,यमुना, सिंधु, सरस्वती, कावेरीऔर नर्मदा नदी का जल पूजा के कलश में डाला जाता है। सप्त नदियों के जल में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा को आकृष्ट करने और उसे वातावरण में प्रवाहित करने की क्षमता होती है। क्योंकि ज्यादातर योगी-मुनि ने ईश्वर से एकाकार करने के लिए इन्हीं नदियों के किनारे तपस्या की थी। सुपारी और पान- यदि हम जल में सुपारी डालते हैं, तो इससे उत्पन्न तरंगें हमारे रजोगुण को समाप्त कर देते हैं और हमारे भीतर देवता के अच्छे गुणों को ग्रहण करने की क्षमता बढ जाती है। पान की बेल को नागबेलभी कहते हैं।

नागबेलको भूलोक और ब्रह्मलोक को जोडने वाली कडी माना जाता है। इसमें भूमि तरंगों को आकृष्ट करने की क्षमता होती है। साथ ही, इसे सात्विक भी कहा गया है। देवता की मूर्ति से उत्पन्न सकारात्मक ऊर्जा पान के डंठल द्वारा ग्रहण की जाती है।

तुलसी-आयुर्र्वेद में तुलसी का प्रयोग सदियों से होता आ रहा है। अन्य वनस्पतियों की तुलना में तुलसी में वातावरण को शुद्ध करने की क्षमता अधिक होती है।

क्‍या है सीएनजी

सीएनजी यानि कि संपीडित प्राकृतिक गैस (कंप्रेस्‍ड नेचुरल गैस) प्राकृतिक रूप से पाई जाने वाली अति ज्वलनशील गैस को अत्‍यधिक दबाव में रखने से बने तरल को कहते हैं। धरती के बहुत नीचे पाई जाने वाली यह गैस हवा से भी हल्‍की होती है। इसलिए इसके इस्‍तेमाल में सबसे बड़ी समस्‍या इसे स्‍टोर करने में आती है, जिसके लिए बड़ी जगह की जरूरत होती है।यही कारण है कि वाहनों में भी अतिरिक्‍त जगह की जरूरत होती है। लेकिन इस पर काम करने वाले वैज्ञानिकों का दावा है कि आने वाले सालों में इस समस्‍या पर काबू पा लिया जाएगा। सीएनजी का न तो कोई अपना रंग होता है, न गंध और न ही इसमें किसी प्रकार का जहर होता है। यह डीजल एवं पेट्रोल दोनों तरह के इंजनों में प्रयोग की जाती है। चूंकि सीएनजी डीजल एवं पेट्रोल की तुलना में कार्बन डाइऑक्‍साइड, नाइट्रोजन ऑक्‍साइड और जैविक गैसें कम उत्‍सर्जित करती है, इसलिए पर्यावरण के लिहाज से इसे उपयुक्‍त माना जाता है। यही कारण है कि विश्‍व के कई देश सीएनजी के प्रयोग के लिए जनता को प्रोत्‍साहित कर रहे हैं।इस समय दुनिया भर में करीब 125 लाख वाहन सीएनजी से चलाए जा रहे हैं। भारत में इनकी संख्‍या करीब 8 लाख बताई जाती है। एक अनुमान के मुताबिक साल 2020 तक सीएनजी से चलाए जाने वाले वाहनों की संख्‍या बढ़कर 270 लाख तक पहुंच जाएगी। वाहनों में इस गैस को प्रयोग करने के लिए 200 से 250 किलोग्राम प्रति वर्ग सेमी त‍क दबाया जाता है। ऐसा इसलिए किया जाता है ताकि यह इंजन के दहन प्रकोष्‍ठ में सही दबाव के साथ प्रवेश कर सके। प्राकृतिक गैस की तरह ही मीथेन, ईथेन और प्रोपेन सीएनजी के अवयव हैं।

प्राकृतिक गैस से वाहन चलाने का इतिहास

प्राकृतिक गैस से वाहन चलाने की शुरुआत 1930 में अमरीका से हुई। इसके बाद 1950 के आसपास इसके प्रयोग मे लोगों की रुचि बढ़ती गई। आगे चलकर प्राकृतिक गैस से वाहन चलाने का प्रचलन बढ़ता गया।

आइए जानें क्या है नक्सलवाद

1967 में सशस्त्र क्राति के माध्यम से किसानों और मजदूरों को उनका हक दिलाने के लिए पश्चिम बंगाल के नक्सलबाड़ी नामक स्थान पर एक आंदोलन की शुरूआत की गई थी। जिसे उसके स्थान के नाम पर नक्सलवाद आंदोलन कहा गया। इसके सिद्धांत मार्क्सवाद से प्रभावित थे, जबकि तरीके माओवाद से। माओ चीन के सश्सत्र क्रांति के प्रसिद्ध नेता थे जिनका ऐतिहासिक कथन था राजनीतिक सत्ता बंदूक की नली से निकलती है। इसके अलावा राजनीति रक्तहीन युद्ध है, जबकि युद्ध रक्त से भरी राजनीति।

मिथुन दा और नक्सलवादकथित तौर पर ये भी माना जाता है कि फिल्म एक्टर मिथुन चक्रवर्ति भी नक्लबाडी आंदोलन से जुड़े रहे। उनका कोडनेम राणा रेजा था, पुणे में फरारी के दिनों में ही उन्होंने एफटीटीआई पुणे की प्रवेश परीक्षा दी थी, जिसमें सफल होने के बाद आंदोलन से उनका जुड़ाव धीरे धीरे खत्म हो गया।

देशभर में पैर पसार चुका है नक्सलवाद

शुरूआत में यह आंदोलन केवल पश्चिम बंगाल में चलाया जा रहा था। लेकिन पिछले कुछ सालों में देश के बाकी भागों में भी यह फैलने लगा। खासकर पूर्वी भारत, छत्तीसगढ़ और आंध्रप्रदेश में भी माओवादियों के साथ नक्सलवादी अपने पैर पसारने लगे।

2009 के आंकड़ो के अनुसार नक्सली देश के 20 राज्यों की 220 जिलों में सक्रीय हैं। वह प्रमुख तौर पर रेड कॉरिडोर कहे जाने वाले क्षेत्रों में सक्रिय हैं। भारतीय खुफिया एजेंसी रॉ के मुताबिक देश में 20000 नक्सली काम कर रहे हैं। पिछले दिनों प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह भी नक्सलियों को देश के लिए सबसे बड़ा अंदरूनी खतरा बता चुके हैं। फरवरी 2009 में केंद्र सरकार ने नक्सलियों के खिलाफ छत्तीसगढ़, उड़ीसा, आंध्रप्रदेश, माहाराष्ट्र, झारखंड, बिहार, उत्तरप्रदेश और पश्चिम बंगाल में जवाबी कार्रवाई के संयुक्त ऑपरेशन की घोषणा की थी।

अब तक आपने झांसी की रानी की तस्वीर पुस्तकों में स्केच या कैनवास पर ब्रश से उकेरे प्रयासों के सहारे ही देखा होगा, लेकिन भारत में रानी की रानी

लक्ष्मीबाई की मूल तस्वीर जिसको आप शायद ही कभी देखें हो।जी हां ये है झांसी की रानी की 1850 मैं खींची गई मूल तस्वीर, जिसे सन 1850 में अंग्रेज फोटोग्राफर हॉफमैन ने लिया था। पिछले दिनों विश्व फोटोग्राफी दिवस यानि 19 अगस्त को पद्मश्री वामन ठाकरे द्वारा खींचे गए छायाचित्रों, कैनवास पे उकेरे चित्रों, लेखन कार्य और अन्य कलाकृतियों की प्रदर्शनी का आयोजन भोपाल में किया गया था। इस प्रदर्शनी में उनके विशेष आग्रह पे अहमदाबाद के एक एंटिक संग्रहकर्ता ने यह छायाचित्र भेजा था।

इस फोटो को श्री वामन ने प्रदर्शनी में दिखाकर लोगों को आश्चर्यचकित कर दिया। क्योंकि लक्ष्मीबाई के मूल फोटो को आज तक शायद ही किसी ने देखा होगा। अभी तक ऐसा माना जाता रहा है कि इस दुनिया में रानी लक्ष्मीबाई की तस्वीर उपलब्ध नहीं है। लेकिन इस तस्वीर के एकाएक सामने आ जाने से यह साफ हो गया कि रानी की तस्वीर अभी भी उपलब्ध है

MY HARYANA (ENGLISH)

MY HARYANA
Haryana (Hindi: हरियाणा, Punjabi: ਹਰਿਆਣਾ, IPA: [hərɪjaːɳaː]) is a state in India. Historically it is a part of Kuru region of North India. The name Haryana is found mentioned in the 12th century AD by the apabhramsha writer Vibudh Shridhar (VS 1189-1230). It is bordered by Punjab and Himachal Pradesh to the north, and by Rajasthan to the west and south. The river Yamuna defines its eastern border with Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. Haryana also surrounds Delhi on three sides, forming the northern, western and southern borders of Delhi. Consequently, a large area of Haryana is included in the National Capital Region. The capital of the state is Chandigarh which is administered as a union territory and is also the capital of Punjab. The name Haryana means the Abode of God from Sanskrit Hari (the Hindu God Vishnu) and ayana (home), although it may also refer to the lush green landscape of the state (from Sanskrit harit
meaning green).

Haryana was the cradle of the Indus Valley and Vedic Civilizations, both flourishing on the banks of the now lost Sarasvati River. Several decisive battles were fought in the area, which shaped much of the history of India. These include the epic battle of Mahabharata at Kurukshetra (including the recital of the Bhagavad Gita by Krishna), and the three battles of Panipat. Haryana was administered as part of the Punjab province of British India, and was carved out on linguistic lines as India's 17th state in 1966. Haryana is now a leading contributor to the country's production of foodgrain and milk. Agriculture is the leading occupation for the residents of the state, the flat arable land irrigated by submersible pumps and an extensive canal system. Haryana contributed heavily to the Green Revolution that made India self-sufficient in food production in the 1960s.

Haryana is one of the wealthiest states of India and has the third highest per capita income in the country at Rs. 67,891, including the largest number of rural crorepatis in India. Haryana is also one of the most economically developed regions in South Asia and its agricultural and manufacturing industry has experienced sustained growth since 1970s. Haryana is India's largest manufacturer of passenger cars, two-wheelers, and tractors. Since 2000, the state has emerged as the largest recipient of investment per capita in India. The city of Gurgaon has rapidly emerged as a major hub for the information technology and automobile industries. Gurgaon is home to Maruti Udyog Limited, India's largest automobile manufacturer, and Hero Honda Limited, the world's largest manufacturer of two-wheelers. Panipat, Panchkula and Faridabad are also industrial hubs, with the Panipat Refinery being the second largest refinery in South Asia. There are also long established steel and textile industries in the state.

Major ethnic group in Haryana is of Jat people. Other ethnic groups are of Ahirs, Punjabis, Gujjars, Agarwals, Rors, Brahmins, Rajputs and Sainis.^[14] Hindus are majority in Haryana and are about 90% of the population, Sikhs 6.2%, Muslims 4.05% and Christians 0.10%.

Formation of Haryana

Haryana state was formed on 1 November 1966, on the recommendation of the Sardar Hukam Singh Parliamentary Committee. The formation of this committee was announced in the Parliament on 23 September 1965. On 23 April 1966, acting on the recommendation of the Hukam Singh Committee, the Indian government set up the Shah Commission under the chairmanship of Justice J. C. Shah, to divide and set up the boundaries of Punjab and Haryana giving consideration to the language spoken by the people. The commission gave its report on 31 May 1966. According to this report the then districts of Hissar, Mahendragarh, Gurgaon, Rohtak, and Karnal were to be a part of the new state of Haryana. Further, the tehsils of Jind (district Sangrur), Narwana (district Sangrur), Naraingarh, Ambala and Jagadhari were also to be included. The commission recommended that Tehsil Kharar (including Chandigarh) should be a part of Haryana.

The city of Chandigarh, and a Punjabi-speaking area of district Rupnagar were made a Union Territory serving as the capital of both Punjab and Haryana. According to the Rajiv-Longowal Accord, Chandigarh was to be transferred to the state of Punjab in 1986, but the transfer was delayed and it has not been executed so far.

Climate

The climate of Haryana is similar to other states of India lying in the northern plains. It is very hot in summer (up to a high of 50 deg Celsius) and cold in winters (down to a low of 1 deg Celsius). The hottest months are May and June and the coldest being December and January. Rainfall is varied, with the Shivalik Hills region being the wettest and the Aravali Hills region being the driest. About 80% of the rainfall occurs in the monsoon season (July-September) and sometimes causes local flooding.

Government and politics

Politics of Haryana is mainly dominated by Jats . Like in all other states of India, Haryana is governed through a governor, a largely ceremonial position who is appointed by the President of India. The Chief Minister is the head of the Haryana state government and is vested with most of the executive powers. Haryana’s legislature is unicameral; its one house, the Haryana Legislative Assembly, consists of 90 members. Haryana has five seats in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's national parliament, and ten in the Lok Sabha, the lower house. The largest political parties in Haryana are the Indian National Lok Dal, Haryana Janhit Congress, Bhartiya Janata Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Indian National Congress. The present political scenario of the state is clear and it has a stable government under Bhupinder Singh Hooda who is presently the Chief Minister of the state.

Culture

Haryana has a rich cultural heritage that goes way back to the Vedic times. The state is rich in folklore with the oldest extant romance being that of Sorath and Dhaj, Ror Kumar. The people of Haryana have their own traditions. The age old customs of meditation, Yoga and chanting of Vedic Mantras, are still observed by the masses. Famous yoga guru Swami Ramdev is from Mahendragarh in Haryana. Seasonal and religious festivals glorify the culture of this region. Dance is said to be the mother of all arts. Music and poetry exist in tune, painting and architecture in space. Dance is not just a form of recreation but something needed to release physical and emotional energy. Haryana has a variety of folk dances, which like other creative art, help in sublimating the performer's worries and cares.

The people of Haryana have preserved their old religious and social traditions. They celebrate festivals with great enthusiasm and traditional fervor. Their culture and popular art are Saangs, dramas, ballads and songs in which they take great delight. Haryanavi has traditionally been the dominant language spoken by the martial people of Haryana. Post-1947, Punjabi is also spoken by a lot of people in Haryana especially by those Hindus and Sikhs who came over from Pakistan. Punjabi is second official language of Haryana. Sanskrit is also taught in most of the schools in Haryana. In towns and cities, English is still to be adopted as the household lingo, but is spoken in a hazy mixture of Haryanvi. The most striking feature of Haryana is its language itself; or rather, the manner in which it is spoken. Popularly known as Haryanavi, with Bangaru or Jatu (language of Jats) being the most widely spoken dialect, it is perhaps a bit crude, but full of earthy humor and straightforwardness. With rapid urbanization, and due to Haryana's close proximity to Delhi, the cultural aspects are now taking a more modern hue.

Agriculture

Despite recent industrial development, Haryana is primarily an agricultural state. About 70% of residents are engaged in agriculture Wheat and rice are the major crops. Haryana is self-sufficient in food production and the second largest contributor to India's central pool of food grains. The main crops of Haryana are wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton, oilseeds, pulses, barley, maize, millet etc. There are two main types of crops in Haryana: Rabi and Kharif. The major Kharif crops of Haryana are rice, jowar, bajra, maize, cotton, jute, sugarcane, sesame and groundnut. For these crops the ground is prepared in April and May and the seeds are sown at the commencement of rains in June. The crops are ready for harvesting by the beginning of November. The major Rabi crops are wheat, tobacco, pulses, linseed, rapeseed and mustard. The ground is prepared by the end of October or the beginning of November and the crops are harvested by March.

An agricultural area in Haryana. The Jat community of Haryana is largely agrarian.

About 86% of the area is arable, and of that 96% is cultivated. About 75% of the area is irrigated, through tube wells and an extensive system of canals. Haryana contributed significantly to the Green Revolution in India in the 1970s that made the country self-sufficient in food production. The state has also significantly contributed to the field of agricultural education in the country. Asia's biggest agricultural University^[33] - Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University is located at Hisar and it has made a significant contribution in ushering in the 'Green Revolution' in the state.

Dairy farming is also an essential part of the rural economy. Haryana has a livestock population of 98.97 lakh. Milk and milk products form an essential part of the local diet. There is the saying Desaan main des Haryana, jit doodh dahi ka khaana, which means "Best among all the countries in the world is Haryana, where the staple food is milk and yoghurt". Haryana, with 660 grams of availability of milk per capita per day, ranks at number two in the country as against the national average of 232 grams. There is a vast network of milk societies that support the dairy industry. The National Dairy Research Institute at Karnal, and the Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes at Hisar are instrumental in development of new breeds of cattle and propagation of these breeds through embryo transfer technology. The Murrah breed of water buffalo from Haryana is world-famous for its milk production.

Administrative Divisions

The state is divided into four divisions for administrative purpose - Ambala Division, Rohtak Division, Gurgaon Division and Hisar Division. There are 21 districts, 47 sub-divisions, 67 tehsils, 45 sub-tehsils and 116 blocks. Haryana has a total of 81 cities and towns and 6,759 villages.

Education

The state of Haryana has made tremendous progress in the field of higher education since its inception. SCERT Haryana Gurgaon was established in April 1979. It was the conglomeration of State Institute of Education and State Institute of Science, to provide new dimensions to school education. It has been the endeavor of the government to make educational facilities available to the poorest of children. 32 primary schools, 69 middle schools and 101 high schools were upgraded to middle, high and senior secondary respectively during the year 2004-05. Now accessibility to schooling is available within the radius of 1.10 km, 1.38 km, 1.66 km and 2.79 km at the primary, middle, high and senior secondary levels respectively. During 2001-02, there were 11,013 primary schools, 1,918 middle schools, 3,023 high schools and 1,301 senior secondary schools in the state.

Dr. Ashok Tanwar (born 12 February 1976) is an Indian politician, a former president of Indian Youth Congress and present Member of Parliament from Sirsa.He was the youngest person to take over the prestigious position of president of Indian Youth Congress. He is valued as much for being a dalit as for his membership of the Jawaharlal Nehru University network.
Early life
He was born in Jhajjar area of Haryana to Dilbag Singh and Krishna rathi. He went to Jawaharlal Nehru University's centre for Historical studies and completed his M.A., M.Phil Ph.D.(History).
Political career
Dr. Ashok Tanwar started his career as an activist of the NSUI in JNU.
Rise in Politics
Tanwar is among the rising young leaders of Congress party.He is very close to Rahul Gandhi, Who is in charge of the Youth Congress. Tanwar’s USP is the JNU connection at a time the Congress’s student wing, the National Students Union of India, barely has a presence on the campus.Whenever he contested the president’s post in JNU, he got more votes than anyone else (from the NSUI).Tanwar took over as the NSUI secretary in 1999 and became its president in 2003.With two major straight wins in the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections since he took over in 2003 and a major improvement in the NSUI performance in the Left dominated JNU, Tanwar had stressed the need for more discipline among NSUI activists during his tenure as its president.
Youth Congress TenureIn Ashok Tanwar’s term as president of Indian Youth Congress, the focus to strengthen the "IYC" had shifted to auditoriums, workshops and seminars. Stress on street plays and social work was put to highlight the problems faced by public. Under the leadership of Ashok Tanwar, several programmes highlighting social issues were taken up across the country. The concept of Aam Aadmi Ka Sipahi (AAKS) was implemented during his tenure. The programmes meant for empowering youth has been given special significance and as part of that Rahul ji's vision has been given shape through these programmes.Indian Youth Congress had progressed very much under his leadership.
A special aspect of the programmes undertaken during his tenure shows that they have been undertaken in a decentralized manner involving the block, district and state level youth congress. He had given special attention to meritocracy in the organization. This is reflected in the plans to hold organizational elections in all the states. Now, elections are already been held in Punjab and Gujarat, where youth in mass numbers irrespective of the walks of life have joined youth congress to strengthen the organiation thus strengthening the base of Congress party in all the states.
2009 Lok Sabha Elections

With this win, Ashok Tanwar has emerged himself as a leader of National repute as he was one of young candidates handpicked by congress's general secretary Rahul Gandhi to contest the 2009 Lok Sabha election.
Personal life
In June 2005, Ashok Tanwar married to Avantika Maken, a divorced and daughter of Lalit Maken and maternal grand daughter of former Indian President, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma. They have two sons and one daughter.

Bhajan Lal

Bhajan Lal (Hindi: भजन लाल) (born October 6, 1930) is a politician from the state of Haryana in India now residing in sector 15 of Hisar.
Early lifeBhajan Lal was born in Koranwali, Bahawalpur District, now in Punjab (Pakistan) in a Bishnois sub-caste, and has two sons, Chander Mohan Bishnoi, and Kuldeep Bishnoi.
Political career
Bhajan Lal was the chief minister of the Haryana state twice, his first term from June 28, 1979 to July 5, 1985, and his second term from July 23, 1991 to May 11, 1996. He had also served as a union cabinet minister at the centre, holding the Agriculture and Environments & Forest portfolios during Rajiv Gandhi's administration. He has been a central point in Haryana politics, representing the non-Jat caste groups of the state.
The victory of the Indian National Congress in Haryana's 2005 elections caused a major rift in its state unit, as it opted to make Bhupinder Hooda, a Jat, the Chief Minister instead of Bhajan. Although he initially cooled down, speculation over his departure from the party was ended in March 2007, when he officially announced he would form a new party, called the Haryana Janhit Congress. The key event that brought this about was the suspension of his son Kuldeep Bishnoi from the Indian National Congress, for criticizing the party's central leaders. Bhajan has said that Kuldeep and Chander Mohan, who is Haryana's Deputy Chief Minister, would join his party.
2009 Lok Sabha Elections
Bhajan Lal fought election from Hissar and defeated two prominent politicians of Haryana politics, Sampat Singh and Jai Parkash in a high profile battle. This battle was so intense that it led to an infighting among the INLD soon after the results were declared. This eventually led to Professor Sampat Singh's resignation from INLD after 32 years ties with the party, leaving the party in a state of turmoil.
2009 State Assembly Elections
Haryana Janhit Congress of Bhajanlal won 6 seats but 5 of its MLAs left the party and joined Indian National Congress leaving Kuldeep Bishnoi as alone legislator of the party. Also, in a big jolt to the party, Smt Jasma Devi, wife of Bhajanlal was defeated by Prof Sampat Singh in Nalwa by a big margin of 10901 votes.
