ApnaBundelkhand.com, NEW DELHI: Politically charged
Bundelkhand — the backward region which has been turned into a
battlefield
between UP CM Mayawati and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi —
will
be granted special category status, meaning Centre will meet 90% of the
cost of
irrigation projects for the drought-hit region.
Sources said a
high-level committee headed by Planning Commission secretary Sudha
Pillai has
approved the proposal to grant special category status at par with
drought-prone
areas, implying that districts in the region will get 90% grant

Drought Prone

White Museli (chiorophytum barivillianum) touted as desi Viagra, and
other
assorted prized herbs has gone up manifold. Therefore the market is
growing,
price is good and most importantly buyers turn up at his doorsteps
saving him a
business trip out of the quiet little hamlet to Jhansi.
A hotbed of
intense political activity, Bundelkhand is fast turning into a favourite
hunting
ground for big players in the alternative medicine. The region, in
league with
Orissa and Chattisgarh with its abundant medicinal plant produce, is
equally
vulnerable due to e
