Apparently farmers in Punjab are worrying over paucity of farm laborers. It so happens that the laborers from Bihar and UP chose to stay home due to easy money from NREGA. Good thing, it works for them you say, elevates them from poverty.
However, Punjab farm output may fail, resulting lower food output. So, we may have unwanted roads/ canals created at the cost of needed food grains. The food grains will be costly for all. Even those poor laborers may not afford it after all, even if they are elevated out of their poverty.
How about mechanization of farm work?

Attacks on Indian students in Australia
Why the attacks took place? Because Indian students were there in the first place. Why were they there, because we do not have require high-quality institutions in India itself.

Web Animations, Movies and other goodies for Physics-I
Your feedbacks on these sites and other related webpages will improve this blog entry, so please send responses to my email... or post your reply to this blog. Thanks.
The thing to remember is, look at general physics courses (for non-science majors in the US). These courses tend to have more animations, diagrams, and movies.
- One prime site seems to be:
http://freevideolectures.com/physics.html
it contains links to MIT and other courses on the web. - Free Resources on the web at Intut.co.uk . Excellent links.
For example, a search for "Mechanics Animations" produced one link
on Interactive Physics Simulations page. - Martindale's Graduate Physics Links
this is a part of the homepage
For animations, go to this link from the above page. - Walter Lewin's MIT Course on Mechanics (1999)
- Walter Lewin's MIT Course on Vibrations and Waves (2004)
- PhysicsAnimations.com : An excellent Resource
- Physics Java Applets at falstad.com
- Mechanical Universe at the Learner.org (registration reqd)
- How things work at University of Virginia
- Mid-America Association for Computers in Education.
- How to create your animations? Animation Physics Course.
