Focus on primary education
Correspondent
KORAPUT: New equations seem to have been drawn in Koraput district for ensuring primary education at the grassroots. While 606 teachers from primary and upper primary schools in Koraput have been transferred, 244 of them got transferred in Jeypore.
It is for the first time in the last many years that transfer of teachers in such a high scale has been carried out in Koraput district. Moreover, while the transfers in the past were mostly influenced by the leaders of various political parties and others close to the education department, this time it was done under the direct supervision of district Collector Rajesh Pravakar Patil.
While teachers from the urban areas were transferred to rural areas and vice-versa, efforts were made to see that the woman teachers who were transferred from the urban areas got posting in schools near to the approachable roads in the block areas and especially in the schools where special girls' hostels were opened recently, Mr. Patil said. However for serious gaps like transferring the same teacher to more than one place, transferring some teachers who were engaged in census work and allegedly not maintaining any particular criteria in the process of transfer, the initiative was put under scanner by the critics. Such unwarranted cases and other instances with genuine health concern would be reviewed for correction, Mr. Patil added.
Data bank
According to Mr. Patil, the district should have a proper data bank of teachers at one place to facilitate more transparency in such a situation. Efforts are now in progress to create an elaborate data bank on all the teachers in the district documenting their service over a certain period of time tracking their history, present day's status and their strength and resourcefulness. This will also be placed in the official website of the district for more transparency.

Staff Reporter
BERHAMPUR: Three hardcore Maoists were arrested from the Chintalwada jungles in Malkangiri district on Thursday.

Naxals kill jawan
Staff Reporter
BERHAMPUR: Maoists murdered a jawan of the Shasastra Seema Bal (SSB) in Malkangiri district on Wednesday night.
The jawan Manoram Durua had returned to his native village Markapalli under Mathili police station area a few days ago. He was on leave to celebrate the Raja festival. According to the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Sanjeev Panda it was a cold-blooded murder by Maoists to create havoc in the area.
Around seven to eight armed Maoists had called at the house of Durua on Wednesday night. They had taken the jawan with them and shot him at close range, Mr Panda said. There is suspicion that Maoists resorted to this killing due to a false idea that the jawan was serving the Border Security Force (BSF) who are now deployed in Malkangiri district for a major anti-Maoist joint operation.
The panic of Maoists has started to show up in Malkangiri as five village guards posted in naxal-infested Kalimela police station area were reported to have sent in their resignation letters due to threat of Maoists on their lives. The DIG said these village guards had submitted their resignation letters at the Kalimela police station.

Panchayats in Kotpad block facing acute water shortage
Ch. Santakar
Villagers in the region seek some measures to tide over the crisis
KORAPUT: Ghasiram Jani of Sahanimunda village in Murtahandi panchayat of Kotpad block in Koraput district had to sell a pair of buffalos and purchase a pair of bullocks as the former was required to be cleaned regularly and thus more water was needed. Water is available in little quantity and the cattle had to be taken to Makagaon, by covering at least five km of distance, for their bath with the water of the Janra river. Ghasiram takes them once in a month to the river.
However, according to Katulu Durua of Malchamal village in the same panchayat, cattle is more often left to themselves even for more than three months at a stretch due to acute shortage of water in the region. Of the two tubewells in Malchamal, one is in working condition. But the amount of water that comes out of it is so little that families have to wait night long to fill their pots for storing drinking water.
Ghasiram owns 17 acres of land. But, for the lack of water he could cultivate paddy only during rainy season. He manages the family with the total output of the land from a single crop. But, the marginal farmers living in the forest area often depend upon the minor forest products. They even migrate to work in the green chilli farms on the other side of the river in the neighbouring State of Chhattisgarh.
Affected by drought
Chatarla, Murtahandi and Chandli panchayats in Kotpad block have been affected by draught last year. Compensation was paid to the farmers. But, the situation could not be changed for anything better even this year for the lack of proper initiatives. These villages are now surrounded by a number of ponds. But none of them has water for use in time of need. While waiting for regeneration of groundwater through these ponds, some of the funds could have been spent on digging a canal to bring water to these panchayats from the Janra river. This might have brought some solution to the water crisis of the region, says Ghasiram.

Red flags planted
Correspondent
KORAPUT: Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh (CMAS) seems to have reclaimed its lost hold in parts of Narayanpatna block in Koraput district after a long spell of silence .
In a surprising move hundreds of its members mostly women placed red flags in agricultural lands to the tune of hundreds of acres in Balipeta and Tentulipadar panchayats in the block during the last few days.
While this was the way in which the sangh had occupied more than two thousand acres of land in the region, it had faced serious setback after losing two of its top leaders to the bullets of police at Narayanpatna in November last year.
