'Major crop productivity in India just half of that in China':

 "New Delhi: Productivity of major food crops such as wheat, rice, maize and pulses in India is almost half of that in neighbouring China, according to a data.

 The productivity of rice in India is 3,264 kg per hectare, while in China it is 6,548 kg a hectare, the data compiled by UN's agriculture body FAO for the year 2010 said.

 It is also high in Bangladesh at 4,182 kg/hectare and Myanmar at 4,123 kg per hectare. China also tops the list in wheat with yields of 4,748 kg per hectare, whereas for India it stands at 3,264 kg a hectare.

The Hindu : Cities / Chennai : Keep checks on students living outside hostels, CoP tells colleges:

 "Police have advised educational institutions in the city and suburbs to maintain a database of students residing outside college hostels. This comes in the wake of the recent arrest of a private engineering college student hailing from Bihar, who was found in possession of a country-made gun and bullets. Speaking to reporters on Saturday evening, Commissioner of Police J.K. Tripathy termed the case a ‘stray incident' but at the same time urged all educational institutions to remain vigilant and collect records of students residing off-campus.

 “We appeal to the institutions to have a database with at least minimum information on every student so that in the event of police requiring this information for verification, the procedure of sharing could be simplified,” Mr. Tripathy added."
