Petition to the Honorable Governor of Orissa to give assent to the Vedanta University bill passed by Orissa assembly in July 2009 (more than a year back)

 CMO, Governor, HRD, Keeping Vedanta University in Odisha, PMO, Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi  Comments Off on Petition to the Honorable Governor of Orissa to give assent to the Vedanta University bill passed by Orissa assembly in July 2009 (more than a year back)
Aug 292010
 

Dear all:

First  a little bit of good news. There have been various media reports that the Chief Minister spoke to the Prime Minister on Vedanta University on 23rd August 2010. Also, there was a report that the environment ministry may now give approval. (Key word here is that it may. We need to watch out to see if that happens soon or not.) [UPDATE: Since that report new reports have appeared that suggest that the environment ministry is kind of harassing Orissa on this issue.]

We recently learned about a new hurdle. Although the Orissa Assembly passed the Vedanta University bill in July 2009, the honorable Governor of Orissa has not yet given assent to this bill. Thus we need to write to his office.

Following is a petition about that. Please copy and paste and make appropriate changes to your liking and send to the email addresses below. (As always: Email has the best and quickest impact.) Please do also sign the petition and spread the word. Please note that signing the petition DOES NOT automatically send an email. You need to send email separately.

best regards

Petition to the CM to seek the PM’s help regarding Vedanta University

 CMO, HRD, Keeping Vedanta University in Odisha  Comments Off on Petition to the CM to seek the PM’s help regarding Vedanta University
Aug 222010
 

Dear all:

Please read the news (Headline of Sambada newspaper) at http://www.orissalinks.com/archives/5214, which says "Vedanta University is moving to Andhra." It is also available at http://orissasambad.com/news_article.php?id=33877 as today’s main headline. Business Standard has an article at   http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/rosaiah-invites-aaf-to-relocate-vedanta-university-to-ap/405561/. Sambada has another article at http://orissasambad.com/news_article.php?id=34016. Note that Sambada publisher is Soumyaranjan Patnaik who is a Congress leader.   If Sambada shows concern on this then it means more and more people in Odisha are now realizing the value of Vedanta University. Alas, it may be too little too late. But we should not lose hope. 

We need to take urgent action. We need to write to the CM to talk to the PM on Vedanta University. Following is a short petition.

1. Please consider signing it.

2. Please consider sending a version (make changes to your liking) of it by email. (NOTE: EMAIL is more effective.)

3. Please also consider signing the other petitions at http://petitions.orissalinks.com/?p=5 as well as sending it as email.

4. Please consider spreading the word. 

 
best regards
