CLAIMS OF POLITICAL
PARTIES DASHED!
RAJ POLICE’S ‘DAMINI’
MOMENT CAUGHT ON
WRONG FOOT
Kota: The politics of Kota BJP seems to be changing
as former MLA Prahlad Gunjal, who is considered a
staunch opponent in politics, visited the Speaker Camp
Office in Shaktinagar of Kota city to meet Lok Sabha
Speaker Om Birla. Both the BJP leaders talked for hours
in closed rooms but Gunjal refused to give details of the
conversation. However, while talking to the media,
Gunjal said that Birla is his senior leader and local MP
and he has come to discuss only about the elections.
Gunjal is a strong contender for BJP ticket from Kota
North, but his ticket is on hold. The meeting of Gunjal
with Birla is important in this aspect. Bhanwar S Charan
Jhalawar: BJP will follow the path of Hindutva in the
assembly elections! Vasundhara Raje appealed from
the stage after the program at the BJP meeting in Jhalawar
to the song-music group to enjoy Hanuman Chalisa. When
Raje appealed, it was being sung from the stage - ‘Jo Ram
ko laye the, hum unko layenge’. Later, collective Hanuman
Chalisa recitation took place in the sports complex in the
presence of Raje. Bhanwar S Charan
Churu: CPI (M)
candidate from
Taranagar, Nirmal Prajapat,
was sent to judicial custody.
A case was filed against Praj-
apat during a protest in
Bidasar in 2019. Prajapat
appeared in Bidasar Civil
Court on Friday. Civil court
ordered to send Nirmal
Prajapat to judicial custody.
Prajapat said, “This step
was taken due to political
malice.” Still he will file
nomination from Taranagar
on 6 November.
Jaipur: Only 2 days left
for nominations to be
filed. Now nominations will be
possible only on 4 6 Nov
but still BJP Cong could not
declare all candidates. Some
claimants filed nominations
without declaring the ticket.
But along with this, this
important question arises
before the political parties.
Couldn’t you even decide
your candidates in 5 years?
There was a claim to declare
the ticket in the first week of
Sept but it is still pending.

IN-DEPTH
UNEMPLOYMENT
IN RURAL AREAS
CAUSE FOR WORRY
ncreasing unemployment in rural areas
should be a cause for some concern for the
government. Centre for Monitoring Indian
Economy (CMIE) said in its latest report that the rise
in rural joblessness has pushed up India’s unemploy-
ment rate to its highest in two years. The overall rate
of unemployment rose from 7.09 percent in Septem-
ber to 10.05 percent in October, the highest since
May 2021. The encouraging find was the easing of
urban unemployment to 8.44, while the rural unem-
ployment jumped from 6.2 percent to 10.82. An of-
ficial report released in October put the country’s
unemployment rate for 2022-23 at 3.2 percent.
These figures cast a shadow on India’s growth and
strong economic indicators. But the contradiction in
rural-urban divide in terms of unemployment is at-
tributable to weak rainfall and consequent decline in
work opportunities in rural areas. On the other hand,
an uptick in manufacturing and consumption has en-
sured the easing of urban unemployment.

POTENTIAL RISKS OF AI
BRING NATIONS CLOSE
rtificial Intelligence is both — a boon and a
bane. It holds the promise of transforming
human life with improved well-being and, at
the same time, is a potential risk for users. Major
countries of the world, including India, got together
at Britain’s Bletchley Park to evolve a policy to tack-
le the dangers posed by Artificial Intelligence. Even
before the conference at Bletchley, US President Joe
Biden signed an executive order to prevent the spread
of harmful content generated by AI.
Biden’s decision was influenced by the film Mis-
sion Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part 1 in which
a malevolent AI ma-
nipulates video foot-
age and impersonates
human voices, as-
pects that highlighted
AI’s potential dan-
gers. The European
Union also proposes
tough laws to regu-
late AI content.
These developments
are a result of tech
leaders’ warning that
there is an “out of
control race” to cre-
ate systems beyond
anyone’s control.
The Bletchley Dec-
laration recognises
thatAI “poses signifi-
cant risks” and also
notes “the potential
for unforeseen risks
stemming from the
capability to manipu-
late content or gener-
ate deceptive content,” issues which the participating
countries found “critically important” and which need-
ed to be addressed.The 29 countries which participated
in the conference “resolved to sustain an inclusive
global dialogue…and to continue research on frontier
AI safety to ensure that the benefits of the technology
can be harnessed responsibly for the good of all”.
The most stark warning has come from Elon Musk
of X (formerly Twitter) who said that Artificial Intel-
ligence could even destroy civilization and is a risk to
humanity. The benefits ofAI make it a necessary evil.

PERSPECT VE 04
Jaipur, Saturday | November 4, 2023 www.firstindia.co.in firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur thefirstindia thefirstindia thefirstindia
he cricketing
fraternity is
running out
of superla-
tives to de-
scribe the Indian team’s
remarkable performances
in ICC World Cup 2023.
Though batsmen have re-
ceived lavish praises most
often, this time Indian
bowlers too have been ex-
ceptional. Their fearsome
hunting as a pack has put
India into the semifinals
without a single defeat and
in the last match too, they
enabled Team India to
crush Sri Lanka by a mas-
sive 302 runs.
As India heads to Eden
Gardens in Kolkata for its
encounter with an in-form
South African team, it is
heartening to note the ag-
gression of Indian fast
bowlers. Their control
over swing and seam is
like poetry in motion, dic-
tating the ball as per their
whims. Excelling with
each passing match and
topping their previous per-
formances one after the
other, the trio of Bumrah,
Siraj and Shami have been
brutal especially in the last
two matches. Bundling out
England and Lanka for
paltry 129 and 55 respec-
tively, Indian spearheads
have sent a deadly signal to
the rest of the teams!
So severe was the
thrashing to Sri Lanka that
it seemed like a repeat of
the Asia Cup final when
India had bowled them out
for 50 runs! Sri Lankan
captain Kusal Mendis’ de-
cision to bowl first took
most experts by surprise as
the conditions were suited
to bat first. His decision
seemed justified as Dilshan
Madhushaka removed In-
dian captain Rohit Sharma
off just the second ball of
the innings with a beautiful
out swinger. Both Kohli
and Shubman Gill found
the going tough in the first
5-6 overs but once they
settled down, owing to a
few missed chances in the
field by the Lankan field-
ers, runs came freely.
It was yet another even-
ing when fans expected a
record equalling century
from Kohli but it wasn’t to
be so. He fell just 12 runs
short of the landmark but
along with Gill, who also
missed his century falling
for 92, laid a solid founda-
tion for a massive score. It
was also a moment of reck-
oning for Shreyas who has
been under scrutiny for get-
ting out to short pitch bowl-
ing but he let his bat do the
talking by hitting a 56 ball
82 that was studded with 6
humongous sixes. India’s
357 looked like a mountain
to climb for the Lankans
against Indian bowlers.
The very first ball by
Bumrah scalped Pathum
Nissanka and it was a sorry
tale for the Sri Lankan
batsmen thereafter. They
were reduced to 4 wickets
of just 3 runs, raising the
ghosts of their Asia Cup
final massacre! This per-
formance was no different
as Indian seamers reduced
them to 8 for 29, and ulti-
mately bowled them out
for 55. Siraj was back to
his best after a couple of
off-colour performances.
He picked up 3 wickets be-
fore Shami came in to bag
another 5-wicket haul, his
second in this World Cup.
In the process, Shami also
became India’s leading
wicket taker in ODI World
Cups with 45 wickets in 14
matches.
At the moment, India is
ticking all boxes, whether
batting, bowling or field-
ing but would like a tough-
er challenge to prepare for
the knockouts. South Af-
rica might just present it to
them since their batsmen
are leading run scorers in
the tournament and in phe-
nomenal hitting form.As a
team, SAhas surpassed the
350 plus score 4 times, be-
coming the first team to do
so in a single edition.
The South African bat-
ting has been led by Quin-
ton de Kock as the top run
scorer with 545 runs and 4
centuries. His calmness is
the right mix to go with the
aggressive hitting by Aid-
en Markram, Heinrich
Klaasen and David Miller.
Together they have been
the tequila that has intoxi-
cated all top teams till now.
But it is worth to remem-
ber that they were bam-
boozled by Netherlands
and this blip exposes the
chinks in their armour.
The Proteas need to be
wary of the Indian bowling
line up as Shami has
brought an edge to the In-
dian attack. It just seems
like the cricketing Gods
have finally showered
their blessings on him
since being kept out of
Playing XI in the first few
matches appears to have
given him greater motiva-
tion to do well. Proteas
will have to deal with him
after the opening burst of
Bumrah and Siraj and that
is a tall order in itself!
Fans at the Eden Gardens
will be treated to a match
between the best batting
and bowling lineups
against each other, but
there is no doubt that they
would be vociferously
cheering for the Men in
Blue to continue their win-
ning momentum!

been led by Quinton de Kock
as the top run scorer with
545 runs and 4 centuries. His
calmness is the right mix to

Together they have been the

ice President
J a g d e e p
Dhankhar on
Friday said there was an
urgent need to explore in-
novative approaches to
strengthen deterrence
and revitalise diplomacy
for more effective con-
flict resolution.
Addressing the
Chanakya Defence Dia-
logue-2023, the vice
president also under-
scored the paramount
importance of achieving
and upholding peace
through a multi-faceted
approach, combining
ideation, advocacy, out-
reach, persuasion, and
dialogue, while also be-
ing vigilant and prepared.
“Being prepared for
war is a pathway to
peace,” he said, and em-
phasised that a nation’s
strength was the most im-
pactful defence and de-
terrent. Dhankhar also
highlighted the signifi-
cance of harnessing a na-
tion’s soft power and eco-
nomic strength as integral
components in enhancing
the security environment.
He said the emergence
of deep technologies like
AI, robotics, quantum,
semi- conductors, bio-
tech, drones and hyper-
sonics have re-written
the very character of war.
“Prowess and mastery
of these domains will de-
termine the strategic
haves and have nots of the
future,” Dhankhar said.
Referring to the ongo-
ing crises in Ukraine and
West Asia, Dhankhar ex-
pressed concern that de-
spite globalisation and
economic interdependen-
cies, conflicts endure.
The skill of nations in
converting economic
surpluses into hard
power is gaining impor-
tance, he said and
stressed on the urgent
need to explore innova-
tive approaches to
strengthen deterrence
and revitalise diploma-
cy for more effective
conflict resolution.

The Congress is confi-
dent of performing well
in the Madhya Pradesh
elections and the absence
of Jyotiraditya Scindia,
now a Union minister,
won’t affect it, said for-
mer CM and Rajya Sabha
MP Digvijaya Singh.
“He (Scindia) had not
brought sizeable num-
bers (MLAs) in the last
elections, but it was the
Congress party which
won that much,” Singh
told PTI in an interview
on Thursday night when
asked how his party will
cope with the absence of
Scindia.
“And if you see the re-
sults of bye elections (in
2020), then it clearly re-
flects that the party has
not got bad results from
there. In Gwalior and
Morena, we have won
the local body elections.
Therefore, it is not right
to give him the entire
credit for it,” Singh said.
The Congress party
contested the elections in
2018, and it is contesting
again this time with total
unity, he said.
The Congress formed
the government in MP
under Kamal Nath after
the 2018 polls, its first
after 15 years. But it fell
in March 2020 when
Scindia and MLAs loyal
to him joined the BJP.

year, the Assembly elections are going to be held for the
15th time. Since the beginning of these Assembly polls,
the number of voters has increased by 5 times, but the
expenditure incurred by these voters every time they
cast their vote in the Assembly elections, has increased
by 100 times in these 67 years. The expenses of the
Election Commission include: DA expenses, polling party
rent, video surveillance team, webcasting, tents, lights,
microphones, food, videography, voting material, voter
awareness material, GPS tracking, printing, temporary
construction work, shifting of the EVMs from one place to

cent incidents of paper
leaks during his address,

very deadly diseases.
“Whoever cooperates

selling the paper, they
first of all attack your

not happen in any sys-

He stressed that this is
a very big disease, it is
very important to end this
disease, it has in a way
robbed the students of
their talent. And those
who indulge in this des-
picable act for monetary
gain, commit robbery.
Those who commit such
crimes should be given
harshest punishment, by
both law and society, the
Vice-President said.

Even as Enforcement Di-
rectorate raids continued
in Rajasthan, Chief Min-
ister Ashok Gehlot on
Friday questioned the
intent of ED and said that
ED is only paying atten-
tion in going to politi-
cians’ houses.
“The way ED is behav-
ing in the whole country;
I believe it’s not in their
own interest. These are
premiere agencies. Now
ED is only coming for op-
position political parties.
ES is only paying atten-
tion in going to politi-
cians’houses” saidAshok
Gehlot.
“In such a big country,
are there no income of-
fences happening? They
are not paying attention
to that. Their credibility
is reducing; we don’t
want that. We want these
agencies to be strong...
This should be a matter
of concern, “ he added.
Meanwhile, Congress
Party spokesperson
Pawan Khera said, “More
than 95% of ED cases are
against opposition lead-
ers. ED never visits lead-
ers like Ajit Pawar, Him-
anta Biswa Sarma, Kul-
deep Bishnoi, and Naray-
an Rane,” said Khera.
“In Rajasthan, two ED
officers were caught tak-
ing Rs 15 lakh.Anti-Cor-
ruption Bureau has
caught ED officers tak-
ing money. If the rate list
of a small officer of ED
is Rs 15 lakh, then what
will be the rate list of sen-
ior officers of ED, it is
worth wondering” said

EAT WELL
Embrace a well-rounded diet
comprising ample vegetables,
fruits, whole grains, healthy
fats, and lean proteins. These
are essential for supplying vital
nutrients, maintaining bodily
functions, and reducing the risk
of conditions such as obesity,
diabetes, and cardiovascular
problems.
WORKOUT REGULARLY
Incorporate regular physical ac-
tivity into your routine to main-
tain a healthy weight, enhance
cardiovascular health, strength-
en muscles and bones, and low-
er the risk of diseases like type
2 diabetes.
MINIMIZE STRESS
Employ techniques like mind-
fulness, meditation, yoga, and
deep breathing to effectively
manage stress and promote
overall well-being.
ADEQUATE SLEEP

cilitate bodily recovery, cogni-
tive function, mood regulation,
immune support, and sustained
energy levels.
RESTRICT BAD HABITS
Steer clear of smoking, exces-
sive alcohol, and drug con-
sumption to prevent severe
health issues affecting the res-
piratory, cardiovascu-
lar, and mental
domains.
REDUCE DIGITAL TIME
Reduce excessive screen time,
especially from devices like
smartphones and computers, to
enhance sleep quality, mental
well-being, and reduce seden-
tary behavior.

health problems ear-
ly, enabling timely
interventions
and treatment.
BE OPEN TO
SOCIALIZATION

ster mental and emotional well-
being, reducing the risk of con-

FREEDOM FROM DISEASES
ndia is presently
witnessing a surge
in non-communica-
ble disease and as-
sociated fatalities.
Besides these, there
is a growing concern about the esca-
lation of various other ailments in
the country, causing alarm within the
medical field and among the general
populace. The incidence of high
blood pressure and cancer is on a
steep incline, posing a significant
threat. Furthermore, diabetes is
spreading rapidly across India, with
around 101 million individuals al-
ready diagnosed and an additional
136 million in pre-diabetic stages.
However, by making a few simple
adjustments to your lifestyle, you
can steer clear of these maladies. So,
let's take a positive step towards a
healthier life on Independence Day
and liberate ourselves from diseases.
LIBERATION FROM DISEASES
Dr. Ravi Kiran S K, a Consultant in
Hepatology Liver Transplantation
at Narayana Health City, Bangalore,
emphasized the importance of prior-
itizing adult health and well-being to
achieve the concept of freedom
from disease. This involves focus-
ing on cardiovascular health by man-
aging hypertension and cholesterol
levels, as well as maintaining a heart-
healthy lifestyle. Moreover, address-
ing metabolic disorders like diabetes
and fatty liver disease necessitates a
balanced diet, weight management,
and regular physical activity.Dr.
Kiran also stressed the significance
of preventing respiratory illnesses by
abstaining from smoking, ensuring
good indoor air quality, and receiving
recommended vaccinations. Addi-
tionally, he emphasized the need to
attain mental health freedom by re-
ducing stigma, seeking support when
required, and adopting stress-reduc-
tion techniques.
Ultimately, the freedom from dis-
ease approach encourages individu-
als to proactively lead healthier lives
and mitigate the burden of prevent-
able illnesses. Dr. Behzad Bhandari,
a Consultant Pediatrician at NH
SRCC Hospital, highlighted the im-
portance of parental and child aware-
ness regarding diseases that can be
prevented. Vaccination against
childhood illnesses like measles,
mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and
whooping cough can help reduce
their severity and complications. Dr.
Bhandari also emphasized the sig-
nificance of striving for
freedom from respira-
tory, gastrointestinal,
and skin infections
through good hy-
giene practices.
Additionally, he
advised children to
aim for freedom from
chronic diseases like
asthma, diabetes, and
obesity by engaging in
regular physical activ-
ity, maintaining a
b a l a n c e d
diet, and ad-
hering to
timely medical
check-ups.
TRANSITIONING FROM AN
UNHEALTHY TO A HEALTHY
LIFESTYLE:
While embracing a healthy lifestyle
is commendable, it's advisable to
introduce changes gradually and
consistently.
WHAT CONSTITUTES AN
UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE?
An unhealthy lifestyle encompasses
habits or behaviors that contribute to
negative health outcomes and in-
crease the risk of chronic diseases
and other health issues. This lifestyle
typically involves factors like poor
nutrition, lack of physical activity,
excessive stress, insufficient sleep,
smoking, excessive alcohol con-
sumption, and substance abuse, as
explained by Dr. Sanjay Singh, a
Consultant in General Medicine at
Cygnus Laxmi Hospital, Varanasi.
