  Churu district gets India’s first millennium village
  New Delhi, August 06, 2008:  Amarpura in Churu district of Rajasthan has been declared as India’s first millennium village. It thus became part of the UN global initiative, The Earth Institute and Millennium Promise, a non-profit organisation that aims at achieving millennium development goals (MDGs) eight globally-endorsed objectives setting path for other villages to emulate. 
  “The millennium villages are a way of meeting the millennium development goals, economist Jeffrey Sachs, director The Earth Institute, said. Sachs will work with the Gita Mittal foundation in Amarpura. The foundation, the trustees of which include steel baron ML Mittal and his sons Lakshmi Narain, Pramod and Vinod, has made a commitment to contribute whatever is required in the area, part of Rajgarh tehsil, which is also their ancestral home, said TK Vishwanath, honorary secretary of the foundation. 
  The millennium villages are part of an UN initiative based on integrated, community- driven strategy meant to achieve the MDGs, for which less than half the period is left to achieve the targets. There are already about 100 millennium villages, a bulk of them in sub-Saharan Africa. In Asia, besides India, millennium villages have also been set up in Cambodia and Papua New  Guinea.

 Bumper crop of onion but no storage facility. 
 Jaipur, May 12, 2008: There was a bumper crop of onion this year in Churu and Shekhawati region where you can pick up a kilo of onion for as little as Re 2. But the farmers are helpless as there have no storage facility. The worst-affected districts include Churu, Sikar and Jhunjhunu where onion prices in wholesale markets have hit rock-bottom. Not a single cold-storage facility is vailable in the three districts. Ironically, chief minister Vasundhara Raje had on several occasions assured the farmers of the region that they would be provided exclusive onion storage facilities. 
  In the absence of such facilities and direct links with outside markets, these farmers are selling onions to middlemen and retail market agents at throwaway prices - between Re 1 and Rs 2 a kg. The Shekhawati belt is one of the largest onion-producing regions in north India and these onions have a typical white tinge compared to the red onions grown in the Nashik belt of Maharashtra.
