We'd got up quite late around 7. The reason was the visit to the restroom in the wee hours of the morning and consequently, missing the alarm. We went about our chores, the weekly 'washing machinex' of the bed linen was resorted to and finally ready by a 20' past 9.
Lekha and Preetha had gone to the Guruvayur temple to have a 'darshan' of the good Lord. Vishnu had come by with the papers for signature by about a half past 10. Finally, the funds have been made available and the teaching faculty can concentrate on their work without worrying about their emoluments - all of them were working, till now, for the love of their work and the loyalty towards their organisation.
It was the day when Thomas Isaac had presented the state's annual budget in the Legislative Assembly. The highlights are as follows:-
* 10 lakh electric vehicles, on the road, by 2022.
* Major boost for the farm sector.
* Energy Mission to ensure the entire power requirement of the state from roof top solar plants.
* 6,000 km of designer roads over the next two years.
* North-south parallel railway track on which trains will run at 180 km/hr reducing the running
time from Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod to four hours.
* Twenty four rivers, with a length of 1,071 km, will be rejuvenated.
* Another installment of Rs.1,000/- crores for Kuttanad.
* Rehabilitation and restoration of the coast.
* Rice parks - of international standards at Palakkad, Thrissur and Alappuzha.
* Startups as the future of the state on the Chile, Estonia model plan.
* 'Malabar Coffee' and 'Carbon Neutral Wayanad' initiatives proposed for global branding.
* Major thrust to increase coconut production and for getting 20% higher price for coconut.
An interesting budget. What's to be seen is as to how each of the proposals take off.
Tailpiece.
1. Why's the central government still insisting on the implementation of the citizenship bill for the north eastern states despite the widespread dissent?
2. Will the three member committee comprising the PM, CJI and the LoP be able to zero in on the next CBI Director tomorrow?
