Hi,
Is someone aware of any module which can be used instead of the news_page module?

manuj_78,

Is there any reason you don't just use the news_page module? What do you wish to accomplish that news_page can not?

I am getting lots of sql errors with the module enabled and so are a lot of other users. Also I have concerns wheather news_page module will be ported for drupal 5 and how much bug fixing will take place for it. that is why I want to use something other than the news page module

Sometimes you can get away with using Views module and a filter on the node title.

budda,
can you explain how I can implement the same. For example how can I aggregate content using views module?

You would need to get your RSS feed items in to Drupal as nodes first.
There's plenty of modules kicking around to do this one way or another. A n overview of solutions is listed at https://svn.bryght.com/dev/wiki/DrupalFeedParsing
