Issues as highlighted in report Inadequate use of funds sectoral interventions: Nearly 80% of the funds for the scheme has been used for its advertising and not on sectoral interventions such as in health and education for girls. Poor utilisation of funds: Since its inception till 2019-20, the total budgetary allocation was Rs 848 crore. Only 25.13% of the funds has been spent by the states/UT which reflects poor utilisation, resulting in poor performance. 71Improper monitoring: Irregular task force meetings and delays in collecting monthly reports or statement of expenditure from districts, reflects the non-compliance of the guidelines highlighting that the scheme is not being reviewed or monitored properly. Lack of functional toilets in schools is a major reason for dropping out of girls. Recommendations of the report Planned expenditure: The government should focus on other verticals by making ample financial provisions to help achieve measurable outcomes related to education and health envisaged under the scheme. Review and Monitoring: Regular audits and real-time updation of activities are necessary to ensure compliance. Target oriented approach: Funds should be release to the states/UT strictly on the basis of actual utilisation of earlier release and after proper scrutiny of expenditure/ utilisation of the previous funds. Nodal ministry must have a target-oriented approach for the states and must act in a time-bound manner. Infrastructure: Timeline should be finalised for constructing 100% segregated functional toilets for girls in government schools, and in convergence with Jal Shakti Mission, tapped water supply be ensured in them Master In Current Affairs Magazine buy.

Lila waved her hand at the waitress, who happened to be nearby. She was at the table in a flash. “He needs to buy some funny money,” Lila told her. “How much?” the waitress asked. Uncertain of how expenses would mount and wishing to present the impression of throwing caution to the wind, he said, “Three-hundred dollars.” “Would you like me to put it on your credit card?” the waitress asked. “Please,” he said, pretty certain he had enough credit left on it to cover that amount. When he had arrived, the club, being punctilious about matters such as money and identity, demanded custody of a credit card and his driver’s license, with assurances that both would be returned when he departed. He turned to Lila, and, with a slight indication of passion, which he felt he had by now earned the privilege of displaying free of charge, and said, “What else do you offer?” “Thanks for asking,” she replied. “This week we have a sale on games.” “Games? Like what?” “Oh, you know, scrabble, monopoly.” “What about video games?” “We don’t allow those. They’re much too distracting.” “Then how about kissing games?” “You want to kiss me?” “Sure, why not?” he asked. “Where? My hand, cheek or my lips?” “I’ll take the lips.” “For how long?” “What do you mean, for how long?” “Rates vary, according to location, duration, and tongue placement.” “Tongue placement?” “Oh, you know. Regular kissing or French kissing.” “This place is amazing,” he said. “Is there anything you don’t charge for?” “Not very many,” she joked. “How’d it get that way?” he wanted to know. “It was started by a dancer who saved up and got her CPA.” “Really?” “Yes.

Where did you want to kiss me?” “The lips,” he said. “For how long?” “As long as I feel like it.” “I’m sorry, Todd, I need a number. What if we say thirty seconds?” “How much is that?” “Tongue in or tongue out?” “Out.” “Oh, you are so sexy.” “So how much did I spend?” She added the figures in her mind assiduously. “Thirty dollars,” she told him. “For one kiss?

Clutching the funny money, as a moment of self-reflection intruded to incriminate his intellectual self-respect, he nevertheless resolved to proceed and leaned forward to give Lila the most passionate kiss he could manage.

The best things in life are free.” “But not here,” she told him. “Maybe we should go back to lap dancing. It’s cheaper.” “OK,” she said. “Oh, come on,” he informed her, “that’s not even foreplay.

Meri saheli magazine subscription published this article page no 37 fear is part of the fundamental core of human existence as connected to the basic functions of survival and the psyche as the survival instinct or the need to mate. fear and anxiety therefore are among the staples of any genre that deems itself fit to entertain the masses an art form to be mastered in the hands of a true artiste. fear dread and anxiety are all integral components of any successful horror story for example but not everyone who writes horror manages to get the mix of the important elements --- pacing plot and characterization --- all of which must be just right to create a classic that will frighten generations long after the first copy was printed. there are a few that manage to accomplish the difficult feat of being eternal in their horror and long-lasting in their ability to turn anxiety into outright terror. edgar allan poe author of annabel lee and the fall of the house of usher is easily recognized as one of the foremost masters of horror and the macabre. his works have inspired terror and anxiety in many individuals primarily through the use of heavy psychological tones as opposed to the gore and blood themes used and abused by writers of his time. poes collected works easily counts as some of the most frightening material ever written especially now in an age where horror movies are relegated to two hours of bloodshed and senseless violence lacking any true horror and relying solely on shock value to appear scary Meri Saheli Hindi Magazine subscribe.
