Royal grandeur of Rajasthan


Rajasthan remains the most alluring place on earth for me. The region is simply irresistible during the winter season and that is a good enough reason to pack my bags and head to the land of the royals. Since the last few years, Anupam and I have been enjoying our annual vacation in Rajasthan and I must say, the charm of the place gets better with time.
I have travelled to major parts of the globe but they pale in comparison to my favourite holiday destination. It seems this land has accumulated all the fine things of the world — royalty, history, architecture, culture, cuisine and natural beauty, they all exist there in abundance. And not to forget, the people are so warm and friendly.
The safari tour of Rajasthan is a complete holiday experience in itself. The sheer beauty of the Thar dessert is mesmerising, visiting the havelis in Jaisalmer, travelling through the rugged ranges of the Aravalli and catching a glimpse of the wildlife at Ranthambore National Park usually make holidaying in this part of the country a memorable experience. And the royal flavour is incomplete without enjoying the luxury and beauty of Udaipur. The lake city is definitely one of the best maintained tourist places of India.

RAJASTHAN POPULATION CONTROL SCHEMES: India offers prizes to sterilisation volunteers!

The state of Rajasthan is offering prizes including television sets, food processors and even a Tata Nano car for people who agree to undergo sterilisation, a doctor has revealed.
"We want to promote sterilisation," Pratap Singh Dutter, the deputy chief medical officer of the state's Jhunjhunu district has said.
"Everyone who gets sterilised between today and 30 September will be entered into a lottery to win prizes."
The first prize is a Tata Nano and other rewards up for grabs include motorcycles and 21-inch TVs, Dutter said.
"We felt we were falling behind on our sterilisation targets of 21,000 per year, so the district collector came up with this idea. We hope at least 6,000 people will come forward in the next three months to get sterilised," he said.
According to census data released in March this year, India's already billion-plus population is set to grow further in the next few decades and become the world's biggest by 2030, surpassing China's.
The country has a total fertility rate - the number of children borne on average per woman - of 2.588, according to 2010 figures issued by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
