All out publicity by the Central Government on “Swachh Bharat Abhijan” is noticed everywhere.
But, West Bengal has been working silently for “Mission Nirmal Bangla” and making it a true success.
Among the top four districts in the country, our Nadia is at No.1 and is immediately followed by Hooghly and Burdwan in terms of construction of individual toilets.
The State has registered the highest progress in the country with 8.47 lakh new household toilets in 2014-15.
In record time, Nadia district could reach out to all the households and construct more than 3.47 lakh toilets to ensure that everyone in the district has got access to sanitation.
Nadia is now Open Defecation Free, the first in the country in the last two years.
My appreciation to the Mission team at the State, team Nadia and all other districts for generating such momentum.
This is result of good governance, implementation and monitoring.
Bengal has delivered once again.

New Delhi, India, April 23, 2015 — HP today announced the HP Spectre x360, a 13.3 inch convertible PC that delivers an ultra-thin design, the quality customers expect, and performance to get things done.
“Customers are looking for beautiful devices that deliver quality, versatility and portability,” said Ketan Patel, director – Personal Systems, PPS HP India. “The HP Spectre x360 is transformational as it has the productivity of a high end notebook, tablet mode for on the go, tent mode for play and stand mode for watching entertainment in a stunning ultra-thin device.”
x360 Design and Experience for Maximum Versatility
The HP Spectre x360 is designed with an all CNC aluminum chassis and is 15.9 millimeters in height and weighs 1.48Kg.(4) The device features polished metal on the sides that is achieved using a single machined cut, giving it a jewelry-like finish in a natural silver color.
With the HP Spectre x360, customers get an ultra-thin PC with additional versatility to experience multiple modes in one device. Users can transition seamlessly from notebook mode for work, stand mode for viewing entertainment, tent mode for touchscreen entertainment, or tablet mode for on the go. To ensure the display glides smoothly and stays in place where a user wants it, the HP Spectre x360 has innovative new hinges that contain a set of three spiral gears for synchronized and precise movement. The geared hinge design allows the HP Spectre x360 to maintain the same thin profile in tablet mode that it has when closed.
The HP Spectre x360 includes a full-sized, 1.5 millimeter travel keyboard to offer customers a comfortable and familiar experience. The HP Spectre x360 has an extra-wide glass touchpad for improved day-to-day usability.
Premium Quality, No Compromises
To give customers the battery life they expect, the HP Spectre x360 features a 56-watt hour battery that precisely fits into the CNC aluminum body. Next, HP looked at the biggest driver of battery drain – the high-resolution touch display. The touch panel on the HP Spectre x360 is optically bonded to the display, increasing brightness and pulling each pixel up to the surface of the display. With a Quad HD display (2560 x 1440 resolution), the HP Spectre x360 takes advantage of Panel Self Refresh (PSR) technology which holds images on the screen to allow portions of the PC to power down when nothing on-screen is moving. As a result of these and other focus areas, the HP Spectre x360 delivers up to 10.5 hours of battery life.(1)
HP improved Wi-Fi reliability and performance in the HP Spectre x360 for home, work and on the go. Based on issues identified in real-world testing, the wireless driver is tuned to improve performance on noisy networks and across a wide range of wireless access points. The new antenna slot design featured at the top of the display allows for effective 2.4GHz and 5GHz tuning, in every mode – whether in notebook, stand, tent and tablet.(5) The result is wireless throughput and connect rates that outperform other PCs.
Power and Smart Features for Productivity
Power and Smart Features for Productivity

“Every citizen should have the right to internet. Government wants to sell even the internet to big Corporates. One million people have registered to fight for net neutrality. Youth have voted, they are asking on twitter, facebook and all other platforms. They are fighting for net neutrality and this government wants to carve out the net and hand it over to some Corporates. I request the government to please stop the TRAI consultation and to look into changing the law or writing a law for net neutrality”- Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha.#RGforNetNeutrality
