few days ago we
lost Professor
MS Swamina-
than. Our nation
lost a visionary
who revolutionised agricultural
science, a stalwart whose con-
tribution to India will always
be etched in golden letters. Prof
MS Swaminathan loved India
and wanted our nation, and our
farmers in particular, to lead a
life of prosperity. Academical-
ly brilliant, he could have cho-
sen any career but he was so
impacted by the Bengal famine
of 1943 that he was clear that if
there is one thing he would do,
it would be to study agricul-
ture.
At a relatively young age, he
came in contact with Dr Nor-
man Borlaug and followed his
work in great detail. In the
1950’s, he was offered a fac-
ulty position in the US but he
rejected it because he wanted
to work in India and for India.
I want you all to think about
the challenging circumstances
in which he stood as a colossus,
guiding our nation towards the
path of self-sufficiency and
self-confidence. In the first two
decades since Independence,
we were dealing with immense
challenges and one of them was
food shortages. In the early
1960s, India was grappling
with the ominous shadows of
famine and it is then that Prof
Swaminathan’s unyielding
commitment and foresight ush-
ered a new era of agricultural
prosperity. His pioneering work
in agriculture and specific sec-
tors like wheat breeding led to
a significant increase in wheat
production, thus turning India
from a food-deficient country
into a self-sufficient nation.
This tremendous achievement
earned him the well deserved
title of, “Father of the Indian
Green Revolution.”
The Green Revolution of-
fered a glimpse of India’s “Can
Do Spirit” - that if we have a
billion challenges, we also have
a billion minds with the flame
of innovation to overcome
those challenges. Five decades
after the Green Revolution be-
gan, Indian agriculture has be-
come far more modern and pro-
gressive. But, the very founda-
tions laid by Prof Swaminathan
can never be forgotten.
Over the years, he undertook
pioneering research in combat-
ting parasites affecting potato
crops. His research also ena-
bled potato crops to withstand
cold weather. Today, the world
is talking about Millets or
Shree Anna as super foods but
Prof Swaminathan had encour-
aged discourse around millets
since the 1990’s.
My personal interactions
with Prof Swaminathan were
extensive. They began after I
took over as Chief Minister of
Gujarat in 2001. During those
days, Gujarat was not known
for its agricultural prowess.
Successive droughts and a su-
per cyclone and an Earthquake
had impacted the growth tra-
jectory of the state. Among the
many initiatives we launched,
was the Soil Health Card,
which enabled us to understand
the soil better and address
problems if they arose. It was
in the context of this scheme
that I met Prof Swaminathan.
He appreciated the scheme and
also shared his valuable inputs
for the same. His endorsement
was enough to convince those
who were sceptical about the
scheme which would eventu-
ally set the stage for Gujarat’s
agricultural success.
Our interactions continued
during my Chief Ministerial
tenure and also when I took
over as Prime Minister. I met
him at the International Agro-
Biodiversity Congress in 2016
and the next year in 2017, I
launched a two-part book se-
ries written by him.
The Kural describes farmers
as the pin that holds the world
together because it is the farm-
ers who sustain everyone. Prof
Swaminathan understood this
principle very well. A lot of
people call him a “Krishi Vaig-
yanik” – anAgricultural Scien-
tist. But, I have always believed
that he was even more. He was
a true “Kisan Vaigyanik” – a
Farmers’ Scientist. In his heart
there was a farmer. The success
of his works is not restricted to
their academic excellence; it
lies in the impact they have had
outside the laboratories, in the
farms and the fields. His work
narrowed the gap between sci-
entific knowledge and its prac-
tical application. He consist-
ently advocated for sustainable
agriculture, emphasising the
delicate balance between hu-
man advancement and ecologi-
cal sustainability. Here, I must
also note Prof Swaminathan’s
special emphasis on improving
the lives of the small farmers
and ensuring they also enjoy
the fruits of innovation. He was
particularly passionate about
improving the lives of women
farmers.
There is another aspect about
Prof MS Swaminathan which
is remarkable - he stands tall as
a paragon of innovation and
mentorship. When he won the
World Food Prize in 1987, the
first recipient of this prestig-
ious honour, he used the prize
money to establish a not-for-
profit research foundation. Till
date, it undertakes extensive
work across various sectors. He
has nurtured countless minds,
instilling in them a passion for
learning and innovation. In a
rapidly changing world, his life
reminds us of the enduring
power of knowledge, mentor-
ship, and innovation. He was
an institution builder as well,
having to his credit many cen-
tres where vibrant research
takes place. One of his stints
was as Director, International
Rice Research Institute, Ma-
nila. The South Asia Regional
Centre of International Rice
Research Institute was opened
in Varanasi in 2018.
I will again cite The Kural to
pay tributes to Dr Swamina-
than. It is written there, “If
those who have planned have
firmness, they will attain what
they have desired the way they
have desired.” Here was a stal-
wart who decided early on in
his life that he wants to
strengthen agriculture and
serve farmers. And, he did it
exceptionally innovatively and
passionately. Dr Swamina-
than’s contributions continue
to inspire and guide us as we
navigate the path of agricul-
tural innovation and sustaina-
bility. We must also keep reaf-
firming our commitment to the
principles he held dear, cham-
pioning the cause of farmers
and ensuring the fruits of scien-
tific innovation reach the roots
of our agricultural expanse,
fostering growth, sustainabili-
ty, and prosperity for genera-
tions to come.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Increase in women judges in lower
courts a trend across country: CJI
Agencies
New Delhi
hief Justice of
India (CJI) D Y
Chandrachud
on Friday referred to the
significant increase in the
number of women judi-
cial officers and said it
was a countrywide trend.
At the outset of the
proceedings, the CJI
said, “We wish to share
some happy news. Here
in the back row (in the
courtroom), we have 75
judges from the civil
judge junior division
from Maharashtra. Out of
a batch of 75 judges, 42
are women and 33 men.”
“This is a trend hap-
pening across the coun-
try. There are more wom-
en judges in numbers,”
the CJI, who was sitting
on a bench with Justices
J B Pardiwala and Manoj
Misra, said. Justice
Chandrachud said he
would meet the judicial
officers, including the
women judges, during
the lunch hour.
Lawyers, including
senior advocate Dushy-
ant Dave, asked the CJI
to take steps to raise the
number of women judges
in the apex court.
“The appointments
made today are a reflec-
tion of the bar 15 years
ago,” the CJI said.
Recently, former Su-
preme Court Bar Associ-
ation president and senior
lawyerVikas Singh wrote
a letter to the CJI, under-
scoring the need for allo-
cating one-third of the
judges’positions to wom-
en in higher judiciary.

The BJP on Friday said
the regular arrests of sen-
iorAAPleadersincorrup-
tion cases have torn its
claim of “kattar” (hard-
core) honesty and politics
of values to shreds, assert-
ing that it also provides
“food for thought” to citi-
zens that this is not the
time for experimental
politics when the country
is marching ahead.
Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) spokesperson Sud-
hanshu Trivedi cited a
Delhi court’s observa-
tions that the material
placed before it nowhere
shows that Rajya Sabha
MPSanjay Singh’s arrest
in the excise policy case
is unwarranted and un-
reasonable, as he
slammed theAamAadmi
Party’s (AAP) condem-
nation of the action
against its leader.
Noting that Singh is the
AAP’s leader in Parlia-
ment while two other sen-
ior leaders of the party
— Manish Sisodia and
Satyendra Jain — have
also been jailed on cor-
ruption charges, Trivedi
told reporters here that the
frequent arrests of its
leaders have exposed the
claims made by the party
led by Delhi Chief Minis-
ter Arvind Kejriwal.
“For those who are alleg-
ing that the case is base-
less, the Rouse Avenue
Court has clearly ob-
served that prima facie,
the material placed before
it nowhere shows that the
arrest in the present case
is unwarranted and unrea-
sonable,” he said.
The AAP, which had
promised to establish val-
ues in Indian politics, has
become the “most value-
less party” and the people
of Delhi are feeling cheat-
ed, the BJP leader said.
It is food for thought
for the country’s citizens
as well, he added.

PMModi'sTrailblazingJourney
forWomen'sEmpowerment
First India Bureau
New Delhi
PM Modi has been ardent
advocate of women’s
rights, from his days as
Gujarat’s CM.
His adminis-
tration has set
a brand-new
paradigm for
women led de-
velopment. From
an excellent life
cycle-based ap-
proach to women’s
empowerment to
tapping on social en-
gineering to bring be-
havioural change, his
sustained efforts have
brought colossal trans-
formative changes in
the lives of women
across India.
As CM of Gujarat,
his tenacity to bring
women at the forefront
in the development tra-
jectory was commend-
able. One could see the
drastic impact of the
schemes, he brought in
as the CM of Gujarat
with regard to women.
He did not follow the
conventional model of
governance but used a
hands-on approach to
governance, also ena-
bling people’s partici-
pation. Some initiatives
from his Gujarat days,
deserve a mention:
Kanya Kelvani
Under CM Modi’s vi-
sionary scheme, Kanya
Kelvani, every girl in the
state was promised edu-
cation. It delivered with
a 13% surge in girls’ lit-
eracy and a remarkable
29.77% drop in school
dropouts. In 2011, pri-
mary school dropout rate
was just 2%.
Chiranjeevi Yojana
Launched in December
2005, the Chiranjeevi
Scheme motivated
BPL families to
choose private hos-
pital deliveries by
o f f e r i n g
them fi-
nancial support. It deliv-
ered impressive results,
slashing the Maternal
Mortality Rate (MMR)
from 160 in 2004-2006 to
just 112 in 2011-2013.
Vidya Lakshmi Yojana
In 2002, CM Modi
launched the Vidya Lak-
shmi Yojana (VLY) to
combat high dropout
rates among girls in pri-
mary schools. This inno-
vative scheme offered a
Rs. 2000 bond to eligi-
ble girls from BPL
urban households
and villages
with less
than 35% female literacy
upon enrolling in a gov-
ernment school. The im-
pact was striking: girl
dropouts from grades 1
to 8 plum- meted from
approxi-
m a t e l y
35% in
2001-02
to a mere
7.28% in
2013-14.
e-Mamta
Pursuing an in-
clusive approach
to governance, e-
Mamta was (January
2010) a mother and
child name-based track-
ing information manage-
ment system “e-Mamta”.
All pregnant women in
the State were registered
under the scheme and
provided Mamta cards.
Mission Mangalam
Mission Mangalam
helped in scaling up of
women SHGs and crea-
tion of industry linkages.
Nari Gaurav Neeti
In 2002, CM Modi’s Gu-
jarat government un-
veiled the Nari Gaurav
Niti (GEP) with a clear
mission: to awaken all
government departments
to the socio-economic,
educational, and devel-
opmental needs of wom-
en. This policy aimed to
actively engage depart-
ments and ensure timely
actions for the empower-
ment of women.
Beti Bachao Campaign
‘Beti Bachao Campaign’
was launched by CM
Modi on the occasion of
World Women’s Day in
2005. The state govern-
ment launched an inten-
sive campaign as part of
which people were edu-
cated about the impor-
tance of saving the girl
child by ending the
abominable practice of
sex selection and female
foeticide and maintain-
ing a healthy gender bal-
ance in society.
Giving His All
Before becoming India’s
Prime Minister, CM
Modi led by example,
donating ₹21 lakh (₹2.1
million) from his life sav-
ings to create a fund, spe-
cifically for the educa-
tion of daughters of gov-
ernment drivers and pe-
ons in Gujarat.
Over the span of his
22-years in public ser-
vice, PM Modi has con-
sistently championed
initiatives aimed at em-
powering women, pro-
pelling them into lead-
ership roles, and steer-
ing India towards pro-
gress. Under his tenure
as the Prime Minister,
Women Empowerment
in India is scripting a
new chapter, by produc-
ing results.

THACKERAY
DEMANDS
CBI PROBE
In a scathing
attack, Shiv
Sena (UBT)
President and ex-
Chief Minister Uddhav
Thackeray alleged
corruption in the cur-
rent government of
Maharashtra and de-
manded a “CBI probe”
into its affairs, and the
recent hospital deaths,
and appealed for
“help to the patients in
government hospitals”,
here on Friday.
Speaking to the
media, Thackeray said
that the state’s health-
care system has gone
for a toss owing to
the blatant corruption
through ‘agents’, rate-
cards for postings,
commissions in deals,
and other ills.

N a r e n d r a
Modi’s election
bugle has breathed new
life into the state unit of
BJPin Rajasthan. His vis-
its have not only strength-
ened the party at the or-
ganizational level, but
also laid the entire check-
erboard of BJP’s election
strategy. Just before the
announcement of Assem-
bly elections, Modi made
threevisitswithin10days.
In three tours, he held
three meetings in three
geographical areas of the
state, Dhundhar, Mewar
and Marwar and gave
three different political
messages. In Jaipur, BJP
leaders and workers were
given the party line and
road map for victory.
From Chittorgarh, the
PM removed the fear of
closure of lucrative
schemes of the Congress
govt and balanced the ad-
vantage points of the Ge-
hlot govt, so that the party
could take the elections
on its issues. In Jodhpur,
it was pointed out that in
Rajasthan there is compe-
tition with Gehlot, not
Congress and on what is-
sues he can be cornered.
Before these visits of
Modi, BJP seemed scat-
tered in Raj and big lead-
ers of the party were seen
singing their own tunes.
During the PM’s visits,
everyone is seen speaking
in one voice on one plat-
form. By making former
CM Vasundhara Raje sit
next to him in the meet-
ings, Modi also gave the
message that although the
‘lotus flower’ will be the
face of the party, but no
one will be made to feel
isolated.Thepartywillen-
terthefraytakingalongall
the senior leaders. Every-
one will have their own
role. After Modi’s mes-
sage, Raje is also seen
fully active at the party
level and along with other
leaders to earn ‘fame’.
Starting the last phase
of PM’s pre-election tour
on Sept 25, the birth an-
niversary of Pandit Deen
Dayal Upadhyay, was
also a big message at the
party level. On the same
day, at the conclusion of
Parivartan Yatra, at the
Parivartan Sankalp Ma-
hasabhainDadiya,Jaipur,
Modi along with declar-
ing him as the face of ‘Lo-
tus Party’in theAssembly
elections, also gave the
mantra to the workers to
win every booth.
Local BJPleaders have
been considering Gehlot
govt’s schemes like OPS,
Chiranjeevi Health Insur-
ance, Indira Rasoi, 100
units free electricity, free
mobile and food packets
as a big challenge in the
Assembly elections. CM
Ashok Gehlot has been
saying that if his govt is
not repeated, BJP will
stop these schemes.
In the meeting in
Chittorgarh, PM
Moditalkedaboutnot
stopping any public
interest scheme of
the Gehlot
govt and
improvingthem.Withthis
guarantee, he allayed the
fears of both voters and
local party leaders about
voting for BJP. Certainly
this guarantee of the PM
will give new confidence
to the state BJP leaders.
Then in the meeting in
Jodhpur, Modi targeted
Gehlot a lot in his strong-
hold by advising him to
take rest. He also gave a
message to the workers
that the Gehlot govern-
ment has to be cornered
on issues like crime,
women oppression, cor-
ruption, paper leaks and
appeasement.
With three visits, Modi breathes life into Raj BJP, lays strategy for polls

‘Cong stands against
divisive tactics of BJP’
Rahul’s life in danger: Dotasra
Cong protests against BJP over RaGa poster
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur
Ruling Congress held a
demonstration in Jaipur
against BJPfor portraying
Rahul Gandhi as Ravana
in a poster. Earlier, PCC
president Govind Dotasra
addressed the party lead-
ers at the PCC office and
voiced strong opposition
against the negative por-
trayal of Rahul Gandhi,
equating him with Ra-
vana. He emphasized that
Congress stands against
divisive tactics employed
against Rahul Gandhi
during his “Bharat Jodo
Yatra,” which exposed
several BJP leaders.
Dotasra criticized BJP
for likening Rahul Gan-
dhi to Ravana and also
called for the removal of
Leader of Opposition Ra-
jendra Rathore, who
made similar statements
against him. Dotasara re-
iterated that no Congress
leader fears the BJP be-
cause Rahul Gandhi leads
the party.

The ruling Congress held
a protest in Jaipur against
the BJP for portraying
Rahul Gandhi as a ‘new
age Ravan’ in a social
media poster. PCC presi-
dent Govind Singh Do-
tasra, ministers Mahesh
Joshi, Pratap Singh
Khachariyawas and oth-
er leaders took part in the
protests near the PCC
office.
“Life of our leader Ra-
hul Gandhi is in danger
and anything can happen.
BJP should clarify what
is the context of calling
Rahul as Ravan. An at-
mosphere of fear has
been created in the entire
country. BJP is giving
message on social media
that just like Ravan was
killed, he too can be
eliminated,” he said.
Hitting out at the BJP,
Dotasra said intellectuals
across the state are agi-
tated over what the BJP
has done. “The BJP can
touch any low to win an
election. They should ex-
plain the context as to
why they did this,” he
said during the protest.

DEFAMATION COMPLAINT AGAINST BJP LEADERS
GEHLOT’S SENSITIVE ACT GATHERS ATTENTION
CM GEHLOT REACHES DR KAMLA’S RESIDENCE
Shekhawat’s defamation case:
Next hearing on October 16
A defamation complaint was lodged on Friday
in Metropolitan Magistrate No. 11 Mahanagar- I
against BJP leaders for posting an image Rahul
Gandhi with seven heads, likening him to Ravana, on
their X handle. The court has scheduled a hearing for
October 9 to review the matter. The complaint, filed by
Jaswant Gurjar, names BJP National President Jagat
Prakash Nadda and IT Cell National Head Amit Malviya
as the accused parties. The complaint asserts that the
post disrespects Sanatan Dharma by portraying Rahul
Gandhi as a modern-day Ravana.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sensitivity was ob-
served on Friday when Gehlot was passing through
JLN route and saw an ambulance behind him.
Gehlot stopped his convoy, moved the ambulance ahead of
its convoy and took the ambulance to the hospital.
On Friday, CM Ashok Gehlot suddenly reached the
residence of former Governor Dr. Kamla. Actually
Gehlot had gone to Malviya Nagar to meet Vedvyas
and former Governor Dr. Kamala’s residence also comes on
the way. Thus, Gehlot reached Dr. Kamala’s residence to
inquire about her well-being. After reaching her home, CM
found that Dr. Kamla was sleeping, so the CM told the family
members, “Let her sleep, don’t wake them u.” Gehlot then
came back after staying at her house for a few moments.

Nadda meets R Rao

azal Mishra,
an engineer
by educa-
tion, chose to
fearlessly
follow her
heart into the world of fash-
ion. In 2015, she founded
her eponymous brand,
Gazal Mishra, driven by a
profound desire to empow-
er local artisans and crafts-
men. Her brand quickly
became a haven for crea-
tivity and cultural herit-
age, with a strong com-
mitment to sustainable
fashion.
Gazal Mishra’s latest
collection, “Prakriti,” un-
veiled at London Fashion
Week through Fashion
Scout, is a breathtaking
celebration of nature’s el-
egance and artistry. The
collection showcases
craftsmanship at its finest,
with exquisite hand embroi-
dery adorning luxurious fab-
rics like silk, tissue silk, and
cotton-based silk. Traditional
techniques such as dabka,
zardozi, aari work, and bead-
work are employed to create
intricate, one-of-a-kind de-
signs.
What sets “Prakriti” apart is
its commitment to sustain-
ability. Gazal Mishra uses
naturally dyed fabrics, em-
bracing eco-consciousness
in every thread. The collec-
tion offers a versatile array
of silhouettes, from dresses
and jumpsuits to skirts,
tops, and everyday wear,
ensuring that every fash-
ion enthusiast can em-
brace a piece of nature’s
beauty.
The name “Prakriti”
holds profound signifi-
cance for Gazal Mishra,
representing not only
her love for the collec-
tion but also her aspi-
ration for a future
daughter who will
inherit this legacy of
natural beauty and artistry.
Gazal Mishra’s journey is a
testament to the idea that fash-
ion can be not only aestheti-
cally stunning but also ethi-
cally conscious. With “Prakri-
ti,” she invites the world to
celebrate nature, craftsman-
ship, and the elegance of sus-
tainable luxury on the grand
stage of London Fashion
Week.
Yash Jangid captured the
beautiful moments and made
