Is Food Security Bill really secure?

#FSB : For the last couple of days there has been a debate on whether the Food Security Bill* is the optimum package provided to the poor and needy ones of india or is this just another gimmick by Congress to win hearts at the time of elections . So i decided to study the bill clearly and I realized that it may have some good points but this is not the last nail in the coffin. Here is what I observed in the Bill to be passed in the Parliament yet :

1) According to the bill the earlier food security plan for the BPL ( below poverty line ) residents of the country which says that 35 kg of grain is to be provided to the poor on the basis of their ration card per family . The new FSB as presented by Congress says that now they will allocate the supply not per family but 5 kg per head . So that means a family of three getting 35 kg a month will get 15 kg grain . Is this a Food Security Bill or a Food Scarcity Bill ?

2) In every state the current plan provides sugar , cereals , grains and other supplies @ Rs.1 per kg . The new plan will cost Rs. 2.5 per kg and that is applicable only for grains .

3) With reduction in the supply of the grains form 35 kg to a per head allocation , a normal human being who requires 2100 kcal per day will get 500- 700 Kcal per day . But who cares about that ? Of course nutrition doesn't matters .

4) In current plan , as per the govt data there are 85.43 crore people covered in the food cover . Now the new plan will provide food cover to 75 % of the rural population and 50 % of the urban which when calculated according to current census is 82.31 crore people. What about the rest ?

5) The reigns of the flexibility of this bill is totally in hands of the Center. It means that even though if State Govt. plan is better than that of the newbie , they will have to implement it. The center will allocate the food supplies and State govt will have no role.

I hope the article is an eye opener to all those who think Congress ka hath ...Aam Aadmi ke sath !!

How to program pyramids using loops

While programming, beginners do come up with some form of pyramid to be printed using any kind of loops in most programming languages. This video presentation clarifies the basic concept behind coding these pyramids in any programming language and explains how these loops can be created and manipulated to obtain different outputs. If you visualize properly, these pyramids are mere TABLES, combination of rows and columns. Having said that, we can understand that there needs to be a logic to control both rows and columns of the table and do that in such a way that the desired pattern is obtained. For doing so, we use two loops in case of a simple pyramid , one for the rows and other for the columns. Since, the general convention is to represent the rows prior to columns , assuming the same, the outer loop tracks the rows and the inner loop tracks the columns. The outer loop is fairly simple and is defined starting from 0 or 1 depending on your preference in most of the cases ...

How to program pyramids using loops - 2

In this video tutorial, two of the more patterns have been discussed that relates to the similar pattern problems. What's different about these are that they also include spaces before the stars as a part of the pattern to be printed. Having this extra sub pattern to track spaces  in the desired pattern requires an extra loop to track and control it . For a brief review, We discussed that these patterns if observed carefully are just representation of tables i.e. a combination of rows and columns . And few of the cells in that table are populated with some data according to a logically programmed algorithm with represents a pattern. In these cases, the red triangles shows us the spaces represented by "sp" and therefore unlike the previous pattern these need to be managed by the loop as they occur before the stars in the pattern. So, taking the same approach of rows and columns managing loops, we will have an outer loop that tracks the rows which will start at 0...
