Family Planning Allowance to Central Government employees - FAQ

Family Planning Allowance, it is one of the severe steps taken by the Central Government to check growing population. At that time incentives were announced to Government employees, those having three children. In the following days it was reduced to two children.

The sterilisation operation which is performed for this is known as tubectomy(for women) and vasectomy(for men). This is a permanent method of family planning, which means once you opt this and undergo this procedure the reversal of the condition is not possible.

PUNCTUALITY - A CHARACTER OF A LEADER (POSTMASTER)

“Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be”

“As you put into practice the qualities of patience, punctuality, sincerity, and solicitude, you will have a better opinion of the world around you”

”Dictionary

punctual (ˈpʌŋktjʊəl)

— adj

1. arriving or taking place at an arranged time; prompt

2. (of a person) having the characteristic of always keeping to arranged times, as for appointments, meetings, etc

punctu'ality

— n

'punctually’

— adv

The Importance of Punctuality :

Lateness is a sign of poor time management skills

When you are late for appointments, meetings or work, you show a lack of respect for other people’s time as well as your own. Punctuality is a problem for many people.

A student who comes late to his class misses a part of his lesson that day and also causes disturbances to others. An unpunctual man upsets the day's programme not only his own life, but also of those who have dealings with him. In the military fields delay even by a few minutes can be very decisive

If you're battling lateness, there is hope. According to the experts, you can avoid procrastination and tardiness by changing your habits and tweaking your routines.

Here are some things you can do to turn lateness into punctuality:

1. Make up your mind that you will be punctual from now on. In many cases lateness is caused by a lack of commitment to arrive on time. Have the right mindset.

2. Record the commitment in your planner and also record the time you must leave the house or office in order to arrive on time. Plan to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early.

3. If you have a fair distance to travel, always allow more time than you think it will take.

4. Don’t be trapped by the one last thing syndrome. If you’re ready to leave and it's still early, leave anyway. Utilize the time at the other end rather than trying to finish one more task before you leave.

5. If you are not a morning person, but have early morning commitments, set the alarm a little earlier. Some of us may need to go to bed a little earlier to make this work.

If this doesn't work, or you are helplessly late all the time, try addressing the deeper issues by reading How to Stop Running Late.

When it comes right down to it, punctuality is a habit that can be developed. It takes great effort at first, but eventually simply happens. Habits are formed by repetition. If you want to acquire the habit of punctuality, you must repeat this behavior again and again. Punctuality is the characteristic of being able to complete a required task or fulfill an obligation before or at a previously-designated time. "Punctual" is often used synonymously with "on time." Punctual can also, when talking about grammar, mean to be accurate.

According to each culture, there is often an understanding about what is considered an acceptable degree of punctuality. Usually, a small amount of lateness is acceptable; this is commonly about ten or fifteen minutes in Western cultures. In some cultures, such as Japanese society, or in the military there basically is no allowance.

Some cultures have an unspoken understanding that actual deadlines are different from stated deadlines; for example, it may be understood in a particular culture that people will turn up an hour later than advertised. In this case, since everyone understands that a 9 am meeting will actually start around 10 am, no one is inconvenienced when everyone turns up at 10 am.

In cultures which value punctuality, being late is tantamount to showing disrespect for another's time and may be considered insulting. In such cases, punctuality may be enforced by social penalties, for example by excluding low-status latecomers from meetings entirely. Such considerations can lead on to considering the value of punctuality in econometrics and to considering the effects of non-punctuality on others in queueing theory.

Kids are really good at making their parents late. Follow all the above tips, not just for yourself but also for your kids. Have their clothes ready , make sure they get baths the night before, etc. If your child is very young, make sure their diaper bag is always fully stocked. But some organized twelve year olds can definitely help you out!

Being habitually punctual tends to have the effect of actually allowing you to be late from time to time. For instance, Swati is often late. Suman is always on time. They both get stuck in traffic, it is the fault of neither of them, but they end up a few minutes late to work. Most bosses aren't even going to blink at Suman. They view her as a responsible person who has had a rough morning. Swati, on the other hand, is going to get yelled at. Her boss will see her tardiness as evidence of a larger pattern, even if it isn't really her fault this time. Also say if you are picking up your child and are always on time, if you are late your child may worry.

Quick thing to remember :

"If you are 5 minutes early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. If you're late, then you've got a lot of explaining to do."

Old military adage: If you're not 5 minutes early, you're 10 minutes late!

Don't lose hope. Even George V of England had a hard time being punctual.

Remember your reputation is on the line. The power of showing up is limitless.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking nobody notices the latecomer. If you think you are more than occasionally late to work, school, church, appointments, etc., you can be sure others have noticed too.

Lateness is corrosive to good relations with friends, work colleagues and of professional standing. Having a strong personality and being able to smooth over individual instances of lateness still leaves a building resentment. Holding people up who have planned and prepared work, journeys, meals, entertainment etc. generates a cumulative irritation and devaluing of you personally.

ALL THE BEST BE PUNCTUAL

വ്യക്തികള്‍ മരണത്തോടുകൂടി മനുഷ്യമനസ്സുകളില്‍ നിന്ന് മാഞ്ഞുപോകുന്ന ഇക്കാലത്ത് ശ്രീനാരായണ ഗുരുദേവന്റെ സ്മരണകള്‍ ലോകജനതയുടെ മനസ്സില്‍ നവോന്മേഷം പകരുകയാണ്. ശരീരത്യാഗം സമാധിയിലൂടെ സംഭവിച്ചുവെങ്കില്‍ ഗുരുദേവന്റെ സനാതനമായ ആശയങ്ങള്‍ സമകാലിക ലോകത്ത് പ്രസക്തി നേടുന്നു. ഇതിന്റെ ദൃഷ്ടാന്തങ്ങളാണ് കേന്ദ്രസാഹിത്യ അക്കാദമി ഗുരുദേവന്റെ ജീവചരിത്രം 23 ഭാഷകളിലേക്ക് പരിഭാഷപ്പെടുത്താനെടുത്ത തീരുമാനവും ഗുരുജയന്തി നാളില്‍ മദ്യനിരോധന സമിതിയുടെ നേതൃത്വത്തില്‍ ഉപവാസം അനുഷ്ഠിക്കാനുള്ള തീരുമാനവും. സമാനതകളില്ലാത്ത ചിന്താധാരയിലൂടെ തന്റെ ധൈഷണിക വിപ്ലവ ആശയങ്ങള്‍ പ്രായോഗിക തലത്തില്‍കൊണ്ടുവന്ന് ഗുരുദേവന്‍ അമരത്വം കൈവരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. ഇന്ന് കേരളത്തിന്റെ സാമൂഹിക-സാമ്പത്തിക-ഭൗതിക സാഹചര്യങ്ങളില്‍ ഒട്ടേറെ വ്യതിയാനങ്ങള്‍ വരുത്താന്‍ ഗുരുദേവന്റെ ആശയങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്. മഹാത്മാഗാന്ധി വിഭാവനം ചെയ്ത സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം വിദേശാധിപത്യത്തില്‍ നിന്നുള്ള മോചനം ആയിരുന്നെങ്കില്‍ സാധാരണക്കാര്‍ക്ക് വേണ്ടത് തദ്ദേശീയരായ സവര്‍ണ ജന്മിനാടുവാഴികളില്‍ നിന്നുമുള്ള മോചനമായിരുന്നു. ഈ മോചനം ജാതിയും മതവും സമ്പത്തുമൊക്കെയായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടു നില്‍ക്കുന്നതായിരുന്നു. സാമൂഹികമായ മാറ്റത്തിന് തുടക്കം കുറിച്ച ഈ ചരിത്ര സന്ദര്‍ഭത്തിലാണ് ഗുരുദേവന്‍ ആധുനിക ജനതയുടെ മനസ്സില്‍ ആവേശ സ്ഫുലിംഗമായി നിലനില്‍ക്കുന്നത്.
ഗുരുദേവന്റെ സദാചാര സങ്കല്‍പത്തിന് ഇന്ന് വളരെയേറെ പ്രധാന്യമുണ്ട്. സത്യം, അഹിംസ, ധര്‍മ്മം, ഐക്യം മുതലായ സനാതന മൂല്യങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് ഗുരു പ്രാധാന്യം നല്‍കിയിരുന്നു. ആത്മസംതൃപ്തി നിറഞ്ഞ ജീവിത നിര്‍വഹണത്തിനായി ഗുരുദേവന്‍ നിഷ്‌ക്കര്‍ഷിച്ച സദാചാരബോധം സമ...ൂഹത്തിലെ ഓരോ വ്യക്തിയും ഉള്‍ക്കൊള്ളുകയാണെങ്കില്‍ സമത്വസിദ്ധാന്തം സമൂഹത്തില്‍ നിലനിര്‍ത്താന്‍ കഴിയും. വളരെ പരിപാവനമായി കരുതുന്ന സദാചാരചിന്ത ഗുരുദേവന്റെ അനുഗ്രഹത്താല്‍ കേരള സമൂഹത്തില്‍ നല്ല സ്വാധീനമുണ്ടാക്കി. വിജ്ഞാനം മനുഷ്യന്റെ കണ്ണ് തുറപ്പിക്കും എന്ന ചിന്ത ഗുരുദേവന്‍ നല്‍കി. 'വിദ്യ കൊണ്ട് പ്രബുദ്ധരാകുക' എന്ന ആഹ്വാനം ഇന്ന് കേരളത്തെയാകെ മാറ്റിമറിച്ചിരിക്കുകയാണ്. മേലാള വിഭാഗത്തില്‍ വിദ്യാഭ്യാസ മേല്‍ക്കോയ്മ എന്ന ധാരണ വെടിഞ്ഞ് സാധാരണക്കാരന്റെ കരണങ്ങളിലേക്കും വിദ്യാഭ്യാസം എത്തിക്കുവാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞു എന്നത് ഏറെ സ്തുത്യര്‍ഹമാണ്. മനുഷ്യന്റെ ഉള്ളിലുള്ള അജ്ഞതയെ പുറത്തു കൊണ്ടുവന്ന് ലോകത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് അറിയുവാനുള്ള ആഗ്രഹം ഗുരുദേവന്‍ വളര്‍ത്തി. അധഃകൃത വിഭാഗങ്ങള്‍ക്കു വേണ്ടി ഗുരുദേവന്‍ പ്രത്യേക വിദ്യാഭ്യാസ സ്ഥാപനങ്ങള്‍ സ്ഥാപിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് അറിവിന്റെ ലോകം സാര്‍വത്രികമാക്കുകയും അതുവഴി സാമൂഹിക ജീവിതത്തില്‍ പുത്തനുണര്‍വ് നേടിയെടുക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു.ഗുരുധര്‍മ്മത്തില്‍ അനവധി ആശയങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് സൂചിപ്പിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ആരോഗ്യം, സദാചാരം, വൃത്തി, കുടുംബജീവിത ഭദ്രത തുടങ്ങിയ പല ആശയങ്ങളും പ്രാവര്‍ത്തിക തലത്തിലേക്ക് കൊണ്ടുവരാന്‍ ശ്രമിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ശുചിത്വമില്ലായ്മയും അനാരോഗ്യകരമായ അന്തരീക്ഷവുമാണ് കേരളം നേരിടുന്ന പ്രധാന വെല്ലുവിളികള്‍. ഇന്ന് നേരിടുന്ന പല പ്രതികൂലമായ അവസ്ഥക്ക് ശാശ്വതമായ പരിഹാരം നേടിയെടുക്കുവാന്‍ ഗുരുദേവ ധര്‍മ്മത്തിലൂടെ നമുക്ക് കഴിയും.
