Central Government hikes reward for surrendered Naxals

In order to ensure proper rehabilitation for Naxals willing to abjure violence, the Centre has revised a new surrender and rehabilitation policy which will take effect on April 1.

The plan under the Security-Related Expenditure Scheme approved by the Union Finance Ministry has substantially increased the immediate grant and stipend for surrendered ultras. Under the revised scheme, sources said, senior cadre or politburo members will be paid `2.5 lakh as an immediate rehabilitation package while junior cadre will get `1.5 lakh.

“The revised scheme will also address the specific needs for rehabilitation of surrendered Naxals so they should not feel deprived of employment in the mainstream society,” a source said.

To ensure entrepreneurial opportunities, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will also give the surrendered ultras a stipend of `3000 per month for three years. Earlier this was `2000 per month.

“Additional incentives of `30,000 would be given for surrendered weapons including AK 47/56 or sniper rifles. The amount will be deposited in the form of Fixed Deposits,” the source said. An MHA official said the finance ministry has also approved a proposal for community policing in 106 districts of 9 Maoist-affected states. “The grant for community policing in the Naxal-affected states has been enhanced from the earlier `5 lakh to `10 lakh per district per year,” the official added. The Centre is also encouraging the surrendered ultras to undergo vocational training so that they can be employed and become financially independent.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2...
