Scope of more adventure activities in Jharkhand

Rock climbing training is the first step towards adventure activities. In West Bengal, there are few spots where this training is imparted those are in South Bengal, in the districts of Bankura and Purulia. It is only possible during the winter season. The duration of such training is generally is four days. The instructors are from local volunteers. A pattern of training schedule is followed.

The equipment is having at the clubs located in the state of West Bengal. The allotment of training sites is made by an agency under the Youth Service Department of Government of West Bengal. This agency also grants funds for the adventurous activities of this state.

The certain climbers and clubs do visit the Jharkhand area for rock climbing activities, it may be better a comprehensive plan can be worked out so that young people can master the art of climbing.

This was suggested during the session at the Travel & Tourism seminar jointly organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce, Kolkata.

Preparing tea in Territorial Army

It was in 1987, I was a part-time Territorial Army (TA) Officer of an Infantry Battalion. It was located in the same city where I am living. I was a company Commander. We had Sunday and 14 days annual training camp in a year.

On 25^th January 1987 we went for Sunday parade, we were handed over a letter addressed to my employer, My service was requested under the TA rule. I was released from my civil employer. I had reported for military service. My family members were at my place.

We went to somewhere in the northern part of our country. My company was assigned for ground defense of an important air force field. There was hardly depth between the runway and perimeter road. We had tentage for our living, the cooked food used to come from outside the airfield. It was in winter. Our men were given winter cloth after reaching this airfield. The first day we had a plan to return our campsite after the recce the area. In the evening the order was to stay back at our location. The food was served at this location the personal items were also brought.

It is an open area the wind speed was more than 30 km per hour, it was very cold. We got tea ration but no utensils to prepare that. I was searching for an item which can be used for heating the water, I could locate a part of an aircraft at the salvage point it looks like as ‘Gamla’,

 there was electrical wiring. We used this item for heating the water and tea was made and served to all.

Social media in our present life.

Very recently we were not much aware or liking social media in our daily life. At present, it is quite popular among the young generation. It was difficult to identify our schools and colleges in the virtual world. Now facebook is very popular our educational institutions are making use of it. It is one of the good tools to spread the messages among the common people.

At present these activities may not be official by the educational institutes of our states. A group has started to disseminate such news West Bengal Educational Instittues

You can join this group to make this group more purposeful activities.

• The death is 5% of all injury deaths.

  ( as per Sainik Samachar 1-15 July 2018 , page 13).

It was in 1990 an Indian was on military duty somewhere in Western Sector. He was in the advance party. The main party reached by a special train on 1st July. The troops were deployed for ground defence of an ammunition depot. They were outside the depot, which was 5 km in diameter, the area is snake infected. The National High way no 2 is very close by. They were from an Infantry Battalion of Territorial Army. They were called for military duty from their civil occupation.

There was a first heavy rain on that day, the 180 lbs tent was pitched on the cultivation area of civil land. Appropriate precaution against snake bites, such as snake trench four sides of the tent, snake bite kit, a new blade, clean water, soap, and tunicate was available for emergency use.

Rifleman (Rfn) Bindu Ram, a resident of Uttar Pradesh was on duty up to 2 am. After his duty he went to sleep on his bed,it was on the ground. A groundsheet on dry straw was made, due to heavy rain the area was flooded. The snake stretch was filled with water. A snake was under his bed. He slept 2 am to 4 .05 am, he might have changed his sleeping position when the snake has bitten at his finger. No mosquito net was issued to them.

He shouted when all the tentmates wake up immediately and applied tunicate. The representative sent a message to their Company Commander who was located inside the depot under a tent. It took about 2hrs 30 mins to reach the message. The message was sent through the sentry of Defense Service Corp (DSC) personnel who was at the other side of barbed wire. The Ambulance reached in no time
at the victim site and rushed to the nearest Military Hospital via Medical Officer's residence. He was admitted at the ICU of the hospital.

As per norms, the details of his next of kin was provided to the hospital authority. The Company Commander can see the patient in the presence of the Medical Officer of the hospital, he was then under an artificial respiration system. He could open his eye with great difficulty when he was called by the doctor after 3 days. He expired at the hospital, his family member reached there after his death.

The Company Commander received a letter from his father adressed to Rfn Bindu Ram that he can include his wife name in his record. There was no scope to do that. It was great help his attestation parade was done. His mother was sanctioned family pension.
