The government plans to screen the nation`s entire population in next five years for cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and strokes for early detection and treatment of the ailments, Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said today.
He said during Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha that a pilot project has been launched in 100 districts of 21 states for prevention and early detection of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and strokes.

Potato farmers of Doaba region and the Bharati Kisan Union (BKU), Lakhowal faction ridiculed the decision of the Punjab government for granting freight subsidy of Rs 2 crore only on potato as against the demand of Rs 125 crore.
Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had announced this relief on December 4 at Shahpur village of the district during his sangat darshan programme. The potato growers association and the BKU have rejected this offer of the government and had decided to dump potato crop in the city chowks on December 15.
Jalandhar Potato Growers Association president Jaswinder Singh Sangha and BKU secretary general Puran Singh Shahkot said the potato farmers of Doaba region were facing grave financial as well mental crisis due to already existing stock of more than 40 lakh of gunny bags of potato worth more than Rs 80 crore in the cold stores of the State whereas the new potato crop, a bumper produce this year was ready to land in the market.
Since the farmers could not realise the cost of cultivation of 2010 crop and the scene for the 2011 crop had worsened to such an extent that the farmers are neither able to pay their bank dues nor cold store charges and rents, they added. They said the farmers were prepared to dispose of the produce at any rate but there are not takers. Faced with this type of grim financial scenario, the farmers are forced with an uncertain future and the reports of suicides are already trickling in.
The farmer leaders said the potato growers were expecting comprehensive intervention by both Central and State governments to tide over the potato crisis and demanded relief measures. The farmers have also appealed to the administration to earmark the spots where they could dump their unsold produce to avoid inconvenience to the general public.

Hundreds of teachers of private colleges across Punjab and Chandigarh went on a three-day strike Tuesday to protest the state government's failure to implement their demands, especially a pension and gratuity scheme.
The teachers have been joined in by college managements and other non-teaching staff. The strike call has been given by the Joint Action Committee of the Non-Government Colleges Management Federation, the Federation of Associations of College Principals, the Punjab and Chandigarh College Teachers' Union (PCCTU) and the Federation of Non-Teaching Employees of Punjab.
December examinations of nearly 170 private colleges, which thousands of students were to take, were the immediate casualty of the strike. The exams slated for Dec 13, 14 and 15 have been postponed by college authorities till the agitation continues.
Earlier this month, the teachers had gone on cease work and sit-in strike besides taking mass casual leave. PCCTU president Jagwant Singh said the strike was called after the Punjab government's failure to accept its demands, including that for implementing an already announced pension and gratuity scheme for hundreds of college teachers.
"The Punjab government has failed to implement its own notification of December 2001 on a pension and gratuity scheme for teaching staff. Punjab is the only state where college teachers do not have a pension and gratuity scheme," Jagwant Singh said. The demands also include lifting of ban on recruitment, implementation of revised pay-scales on the basis of parity with those working in government colleges, he said.
The PCCTU has been observing a two-hour strike in all colleges since early November to press its demands. Jagwant Singh said teachers would hold candlelight processions Tuesday followed by protests outside residences of Punjab ministers and legislators Wednesday and road blockade Thursday.

Ending days of uncertainty, the World Series Hockey (WSH) was postponed Monday till after India's Olympic qualifiers. It will now run Feb 29-April 1.
WSH was to take place Dec 17-Jan 22, but the dates clashed with the national camp for the Olympic qualifiers that began in Bangalore Sunday. The London Olympics qualification is from Feb 15-26 here. All the national team players had signed up for WSH. HI had made it clear that the players who do not take part in the national camp would be not considered for the qualifiers.
IHF officials met top sports ministry officials Monday before firming up the postponement plan. The thinking in IHF as also the ministry is that the players should be allowed to play the qualifiers with a free mind. Both the government and WSH organisers did not want to be blamed if India did not qualify this time, having failed to qualify for the Beijing Games in 2008.
The WSH organisers had showed willingness to tweak the dates, provided HI gave them an undertaking that it will not put any more hurdles in the players' participation. This they had communicated to the sports ministry. The ministry is likely take it up with HI. "The decision was taken keeping in mind the interest of the players, International Hockey Federation (IHF) president R.K.Shetty told reporters.
"We are in touch with the players and they all want to play in WSH. But we know how HI has gone about things. We do not want to put the players under any pressure before an important event like Olympics qualifiers and that's why we have decided to hold the inaugural season of WSH after the qualifiers," he said. "We are extremely saddened by the intimidation tactics employed by HI to try and deprive Indian hockey players of an opportunity to earn a living by playing hockey."
Shetty alleged that HI had deliberately shifted the dates of national camp. He said the camp for the Olympic qualifiers was to begin on Jan 24 and the WSH schedule was drawn on that basis. "This date was communicated by HI officials in writing to players as far back as March this year. Unfortunately, HI chose to reschedule the camp with the obvious intention of disturbing the players and their preparations for WSH." International players and coaches of the eight-city based franchise league have already started arriving. Shetty said that they will soon take a decision on whether to go ahead with the camp.
IHF officials had to convince the broadcasters, Nimbus, as also the franchises about the postponement. "The primary objective of WSH is the reinvigoration of the sport of Hockey in India. The players are a very important stakeholder and post the request from IHF (on behalf of the players) we have had detailed consultation with our sponsors, franchises, team officials, match officials and other administers," said Yannick Colaco, COO, Nimbus Sport. "We are pleased to confirm the unanimous support of all our stakeholders to the adjustment of WSH dates."
Indian ace Arjun Halappa said: "WSH is the best thing to have happened to Indian hockey. I am extremely grateful to the organisers for shifting the date after the Olympic qualifiers." "We were always committed to participate in WSH and the change in date ensures that there is no clash with our national duty," he said. The International Hockey Federration has labelled WSH an unsanctioned event. The Pakistan Hockey Federation has also asked its players not to participate in the league.
Rehan Butt, ace Pakistani player and captain of the Chandigarh team, said: "The fact that WSH has taken this decision to help solve a big quandary for the players makes me extremely happy and it augurs well for the future of the tournament."

The government today said the current fiscal may end with inflation of around 7 per cent, driven by moderation in demand side pressures and record foodgrain production this year.
This is due to the demand side pressures moderating, as a consequence of the calibrated withdrawal of the fiscal stimulus and the tightening of credit by the RBI, along with record foodgrain production this year, Minister of State for Finance Namo Narain Meena said. "...As a result, overall WPI inflation is likely to decline from December onwards and the current fiscal may end with headline inflation of around 7 per cent," Meena said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
On the steps taken by the government to contain the rising inflation, he said, among other things, the import duties on pulses and edible oils (crude) have been reduced to zero. Besides, the exports of edible oils (except coconut oil and forest-based oil) and pulses (except Kabuli chana and organic pulses up to a maximum of 10,000 tonnes per year) has been banned, Meena said.
In addition, the Forward Markets Commission has suspended futures trading in rice, urad and tur dal. Stock limit orders were extended in the case of pulses, paddy and rice up to September 30, 2011, Meena said. Among other measures, the government also reduced duty under Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) for skimmed milk powder to 5 per cent from 15 per cent for import of up to an aggregate of 10,000 tonnes in a financial year.
It also allowed import of 30,000 tonnes of milk powder and 15,000 tonnes of milk fat at zero duty to the National Dairy Development Board during 2010-11 under TRQ, Meena said. The government also reduced customs duty on crude oil and import duty on petrol and diesel, he said. "As part of the monetary policy review stance, the RBI has taken suitable steps with 13 consecutive increases in policy rates and related measures.
This is to moderate demand to levels consistent with the capacity of the economy to maintain its growth without provoking price rise. "As per the most recent announcement of the RBI on October 25, 2011, the repo rate and reverse repo rate have been revised to 8.5 per cent and 7.5 per cent, respectively," Meena said. In reply to another query, he said the headline wholesale price index (WPI) year-on-year inflation stood at 9.73 per cent in October.

On a sleepy Saturday afternoon in Slough, a borough west of London, Nidar Singh Nihang knows how to keep a group of young men awake.
Inside an empty hall of a church in London Road, Singh Nihang is an authoritative figure. As 20 men, most of them from the Sikh community, surround him in a semi-circle, he demonstrates some self-defence skills. With subtle hand and body movements, he exhibits a form of martial art that he has mastered over 25 years.
But more than 5,000 years after its inception, this form of Sikh martial art known as Shastar Vidiya could soon be relegated to the pages of a history book. There aren't many practitioners and there is a sole surviving master who embodies the technical and traditional expertise: Singh Nihang.
"My aim as a Gurudev [teacher] is to ensure the art, in all its totality, survives," says Nihang Singh.
In Slough, throughout the three-hour session, the man with an intimidating body structure standing at 6-feet-one-inch, explains about the various techniques and also history behind Shastar Vidiya to casually dressed men, most of them in their traditional turban and beard.
"It's a science of weapons," he says, pausing it to describe it more eloquently, "which involves advancing upon the enemy, hitting in a striking range, misaligning his strikes and cutting them down."
As his students engage in different unarmed fighting techniques, an array of weapons neatly lay on the table. Singh Nihang steps forward, picks up a Maddu, a small weapon akin to a knuckleduster, and tells how it was used during wartime to attack the enemies.
"In the old days, you had to fight people to show your art. Nowadays we can be sensible. We can demonstrate so we can show the art and science behind it," he says.
Singh Nihang himself is draped in a blue Chola, a kurta-like robe, with white Kachera, knee-length breaches, and sneakers. His sword and a traditional dagger are neatly tucked between the blue Kamarkasar (cloth belt) wrapped around his waist.
His traditional get-up and a long beard with streaks of white hair might give an intimidating first impression, but he isn't as fierce as he appears.

Six hospital managers arrested on negligence charges are in custody for questioning after a hospital blaze killed 91 people in eastern India, authorities said Sunday.
A local court sent the six to 10-day police custody, inspector P.S. Mukhopadhyay said.
The six worked at the five-story Kolkata hospital that erupted into flames at 4 a.m.
Video of the scene showed crowds of people wearing face masks rushing patients out onto the street in stretchers.
At least 60 other people were injured, said Javed Ahmed Khan, the West Bengal Fire and Emergency Services minister.
A "majority" of the bed-ridden patients were abandoned by most of the staff on duty, he said.
The blaze started in the hospital's basement, and authorities were trying to determine its cause.
A preliminary investigation showed that the hospital had safety violations in the basement, Khan said.
In addition to using the basement as an oncology department, it was also being used to park cars and house medical supplies,, Khan said.
The hospital's license was revoked.
