Richest village - southern Asia - Madhapar

"Madhapar" is a large village located in south western Kutch district in the state of Gujarat, India. The town of Madhapar, with a population of fewer than fifteen thousand people, some 3 km from the main town of Bhuj in the province of Kutch (Gujarat) , is one of the wealthiest towns in the area with an average GDP of $12,000 per person (source Wikipedia), has 12 international banks with an average deposits of 1800 crores. The town has gotten greener, with new lakes, check dams and deep bore artesian wells that provide fresh water all year round. New health centres, playing fields, parks and temples also add to the affluent lifestyle, giving Madhaparians the longest lifespan in India, with an average of 69 years.



Agriculture plays a large part in the regions prosperity where most of the agricultural goods are exported to Mumbai. Agricultural goods primarily consists of corn, mangos and sugarcane.
The money is flowing in from all around the world but mainly from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Africa and the Gulf countries, due in a large part to the non-resident Indians who have emigrated from the village during the last fifty years, who bring money and business to the village.

2012 end of the world

Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012?
Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012

And More:

  • Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

  • There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.

  • Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.

Don't worry about our Earth :) be coooool buddy.
