It is a well-known fact there is a cartel of a few rice millers with regard to the purchase of paddy and sale of rice in the country. The whole blame for this development should rest solely on the previous dispensations. Those past governments created a situation where ample opportunities were made available to a few wealthy persons with close connections to some powerful politicians of the day, for purchasing paddy from the farmers at very low rates and later sell the milled rice to the consumers at exorbitant prices according to their whims and fancies. Those in authority turned a blind eye to this operation as they benefited from the rice millers. They weakened the state mechanism which had been introduced by the previous government for purchasing paddy and converting such stocks into rice and making available that rice to the people at affordable prices through CWE and the co-operative outlets. The previous governments deliberately sabotaged the operation of this mechanism to pave the way for a few politically and otherwise close rice millers to exploit the rice market in the absence of any competition. The Paddy Marketing Board was neglected by previous governments. Now this rice miller mafia has become a formidable force even the government cannot control. The moment the government steps in to remedy this situation, the rice miller mafia will go all out to thwart the government’s efforts at controlling the price of rice. These rice millers extend loans to the farmers at the commencement of paddy growing seasons and ensure that the latter sell their paddy only to them at the prices they fix. The indebted farmers have no alternative other than selling produce to those millers at very low prices stipulated by them. Now the PMB has neglected all its paddy stores and mills, and the government has no money to be released to the PMB for purchasing paddy. The vacuum created by non-involvement by the government in the purchase of paddy offered a golden opportunity to the rice millers to purchase paddy at the prices they desire. This is the sorry state of affairs now prevailing in the country. What would be the scenario if the government stepped in to solve this problem by using its power? It has neither money nor facilities for storing paddy and operational rice mills for milling the paddy. The rice miller mafia could ensure that there will be no rice in the market, at all. They can afford to do so. Therefore, I feel this is a very delicate issue that has to be handled diplomatically. The government should come to a compromise with the rice millers wherein the millers will be able to dispose of their stocks of rice in the market at a reasonable price in line with the expenses they have incurred in purchasing paddy. The government should be flexible in deciding the price of rice taking into consideration the expenses incurred in acquiring such stocks of paddy by the millers and persuade the millers to release the stocks of rice they now hold to the market at the revised prices. Retaining the current controlled price of rice will aggravate the situation. K. M.

GERING — Trey Winkler heads into his second year with Gering a little more comfortable as a coach, and perhaps a bit calmer. “I feel I have the same juice and (still) might be animated on the sidelines, but maybe tone it down a bit,” the Bulldogs boys coach said during the school’s winter media day last week. “Maybe not be on the refs as much.” But how long will that last? “Until the first bad call,” he said with a smile. Fans will get a chance to see that in play Friday as the Bulldogs open the season with a boys/girls doubleheader at Alliance. Both teams open the home schedule Saturday against Sidney in an afternoon/night doubleheader. The Gering girls also head into a second season with six returning letterwinners under second-year coach Brittany Macias. The Bulldogs are coming off a 6-17 season, which ended with a loss to Alliance in a Class B subdistrict matchup. The group includes junior Jacelyn Brown, who led the team in pair of categories last season: assists (3.2 per game) and steals (2.1). Sophomore Jacey Cochran averaged 5.6 rebounds per game for the Bulldogs. Senior Makenzie Todd is the top returning scorer as she averaged 7.2 points per game last winter. Fellow returner and senior Keira Baard says this year’s team heads into the season both hungrier and more comfortable under Macias. She added the team also carries an attitude into the season as well. “Being a lot more aggressive,” Baard said during the media day session. “We want to get after the ball.” Winkler also wants his team to play with an attitude, especially on one end of the court. “Like every coach probably says, it’s defense,” Winkler said. “It’s our biggest thing,we’re hammering it all day, every day in practice. (It’s) that mentality that you have to defend if you want to win.” The Bullldogs boys graduated Uriah Ybarra and Jackson Howard, who combined to average more than 30 points per game, and Howard set a program record for 3-pointers in a season. But Gering returns two starters and a handful of players who saw varsity time during an 8-16 campaign. That includes Gage Ruzicka, who led the Bulldogs in assists and Jack Maser who was second on the team in steals. “We lost some good pieces last year but we also bring back other good pieces,” Winkler said. “These guys put in a lot of work over the summer ... and a lot of them showed up in the fall as well. “That work speaks for itself,” Winkler said. “You can revamp what you had, or lost with those guys who put in the work. We have guys who want to share the ball, play for each other and just love being part of the team atmosphere. These guys have been working hard the last few weeks and all summer and fall. They’ll be ready.” Contact Tim Johnson: sports@starherald.com ; 308-632-9050. We're always interested in hearing about news in our community. Let us know what's going on!

Congress government’s IT ‘push’ forgets Telangana’s tier II citiesOrlando City vs. New York Red Bulls live updates: Who will reach MLS Cup final?Hyderabad: A six-figure salary in the US, a 6,000 sq ft condo and a hot-off-the-charts Tesla. While these were enough to list 36-year-old Raj Jagirdar as a ‘blue chip' stock in the Telugu matrimony market until a few years ago, he isn't a big deal anymore – thanks to the rising rate of job cuts across the US. But the real black mark on Raj's wedding biodata isn't recession. It's his empty land bank, back home in Hyderabad. In fact, STOI's conversations with multiple grooms-to-be living across the US, Canada, UK, Australia revealed that many young men are sailing in the same boat. With no immovable assets to their name in either of the two Telugu states, these young professionals are struggling to keep their ‘ eligible bachelor ' tag alive. And this, despite their fat pay cheques, swank hot wheels and upgraded lifestyles on foreign shores. On the marriage market for long "Who would have thought finding a partner would be this hard? I have a master's in data science from a top university in Australia and a job with a tech giant. But because my parents came from poor financial backgrounds, we could never buy farmland or properties. They had a small plot of land we had in our village in Vikarabad district – about 75 km from Hyderabad -- to pay for my education eight years ago," said K Abhishek Adhiraj, who lives in Brisbane. His father ran a small kirana shop while his mother has always been a homemaker. Though the 34-year-old is confident of building his own assets over time, the absence of generational wealth has put him on the list of rejects for now. "We are planning to buy property around Hyderabad now because that seems like the only way to find an alliance," said Abishek who's been on the marriage market for six years now. Raj's unsuccessful run has been equally long. "What's the point of owning assets in India when I see my future here in the US? Even my parents plan to move here eventually. This demand, I feel, is not only unreasonable, but also affects the self-esteem of a person. Despite all my hard work to build a comfortable life, it's just not enough," lamented Raj who has been living in Atlanta for over 10 years. He has been rejected on multiple occasions for not having a house or land to his name in India. NRI status not enough Marriage bureaus in Hyderabad confirm this churn in the market. According to them, families of potential brides now – more than ever before -- insist on knowing the prospective groom's assets upfront. "The NRI status alone doesn't cut it anymore. They expect land and other assets. So much so that we have now introduced a separate section in our forms for the groom's family to list their holdings. This focus on assets has also caused a drop in demand for NRIs. While we used to arrange about 18 to 20 matches a month a decade ago, now it's down to 10 or 12," said a representative from a private Telugu marriage bureau in Ameerpet. Lack of job security turns the tide Prospective brides-to-be and their families are rather nonchalant about this new trend. "We all know how volatile the job market is in the US and Canada. It's not about being obsessed with assets, but the security they provide. Even if everything else falls apart, we can fall back on these possessions. I've been in Canada for three years myself and have firsthand experience of the struggles," said V Jyothi Reddy, a 27-year-old chef from Vancouver who completed her master's in supply chain management and has been looking for a job for almost two years now. With her family back in Nalgonda on a groom-hunting-spree, Jyothi's list of demands from her ‘match' includes -- at least 10 acres of land, own house both in India and abroad and a stable job with a minimum of a five-figure salary. Green Card – only other qualification Turns out, there's only one trump card that can beat the boy's low asset score – permanent resident (PR) card or a green card. Speaking from experience, N Abhishek Vishwanath, a convenience store owner living in Tampa, Florida said: "My parents have been told outright that if there are no assets, at least I should have a green card. In fact, on all these matrimonial websites and WhatsApp groups, people make this clear in their search: ‘Looking for a partner with a Green Card only.' Does this mean those without assets and a green card, are not allowed to marry," asked the 28-year-old – echoing the sentiment of many such NRI bachelors ‘listed' on the wedding market.
