Udaipur: On the
conclusion of Con-

Shivir in Udaipur on
Sunday
, Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot in-
teracted with the me-
dia and said that the
Chintan Shivir was
successfully organ-
ized and conducted,
stressing that many
important proposals
have been approved
in the CWC meeting.
On the question of
Rahul Gandhi taking
over the party com-
mand, Gehlot said,
“Rahul Gandhi is a
goodperson.Iworked
with him in Gujarat.
BJP-Sangh are
spending crores of
rupees to malign Ra-
hul’s image and Ra-
hul Gandhi alone is
fighting BJP-RSS.

Meanwhile, talk-
ing about the Shivir,
Gehlot said, “There
has been a communi-
cationof enthusiasm
among the workers.
Now Mandal units
will be formed in

takes all classes and
religions along.”

CONGRESS’ NAV SANKALP SHIVIR
Must ensure‘one family,one ticket’ rule in Cong: RaGa
Udaipur: Hours after
the Congress Working
Committee (CWC) gave
its approval to the or-
ganisational reforms,
Congress leader Rahul
Gandhi on Sunday as-
serted that ‘one family,
one ticket’ rule must be
enforced in the party.
Addressing the con-
cluding session of the
‘Nav Sankalp Shivir’
held in Udaipur, Rahul
Gandhi said, “We must
ensure the idea that
one person per family
should get a ticket (to
contest elections). I
also recommend the in-
clusion of the youth in
the Congress party.
Also, only one member
of a family should be
given a ticket.”
The Udaipur Nav
Sankalp Shivir declara-
tion has been adopted
by the CWC at its meet-
ing presided over by
party chief Sonia Gan-
dhi. “It is very impor-
tant that we limit the
number of family
members that are in-
volved in our organiza-
tion, and let them work,
develop and let them
join the organization.
But we must not have a
situation where 5-7
members of a family
are in the organiza-
tion,” said Rahul, add-
ing, “The formula will
not be applied if the
second member from a
family is actively work-
ing for the party for at
least five years.”
Meanwhile, the
Wayanad MP slammed
the BJP led govern-
ment at the Centre over
the rampant inflation,
rising unemployment
and attack on the coun-
try’s institutions, add-
ing that there is a fear
looming in the country
that the Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party Party is
hell-bent on turning
“demographic divi-
dend into a demo-
graphic disaster.”
While asserting that
the Congress party
needs to work aggres-
sively on the ground to
connect with the mass-
es coupled with inten-
sive communication
skills. “Congress has
always provided a plat-
form to people for de-
liberations without

Jaipur: Seven-year-old
Bhavesh Parmar,
thalassemia major pa-
tient from Dalsot vil-
lage in Pratapgarh dis-
trict, had his dream
come true when he
donned the khaki and
sat on the chair of Ad-
ditional commissioner
of police at Jaipur com-
missionerate.
He has a desire to be-
come a Police Commis-
sioner one day to serve
the nation. “I will catch
all the thieves and
goons and will put them
in jail,” he says. Im-
pressed by the innocent
desire and stubborn-
ness of his son, Vijay
Parmar, who runs a
small salon, even got a
police uniform stitched
for him to take him to a
local police station.
After knowing that
there is a foundation
which fulfills wishes of
children with life
threatening illnesses,
he contacted Sweta
Bakiwala, Programme
coordinator of Make A
Wish Foundation who
put up the Proposal to
the Jaipur Commis-
sionerate. Haider Ali,
Additional Commis-
sioner of Police hum-
bly agreed for the noble
cause and Bhavesh be-
came AdCP for few mo-
ments. Haider Ali made
him sit on his chair and
asked to sign some pa-
pers.
“You are a brave
child. Soon we will see
you becoming Commis-
sioner when you grow
up. All the best!,” Haid-
er Ali inspired him.
Inspite of the blood
transfusion that he re-
quires every 15 days,
Bhavesh is full of life.

Barmer: On Sunday
Muslim community
has taken a unique ini-
tiative by organizing a
group wedding ceremo-
ny for around 50 cou-
ples. All these couples
were tied in marital
knot in single event and
also in record time of
50 minutes. Not only
has this, the entire ex-
penses of the event
have been collectively
borne by the commu-
nity people. Organizers
said that the motive be-
hind this event is to re-
duce unnecessary wed-
ding expenses.
The event was organ-
ized in Harpaliya vil-
lage located close to the
Indo-Pak border at a
mere distance of 3 kilo-
metres. During the
event thousands of peo-
ple from Muslim com-
munity were presented.
The event was planned
by the Hazrat Peer Syed
Nasrullah Shah Bukha-
ri. Event organizer and
village Sarpanch Sac-
chu Khan sharing the
cause behind the event
said that the event was
planned to reduce the
unnecessary wedding
expenses. He said that
in the present time it is
witnessed that just to
show-off, people are un-
necessarily spending
money on the wed-
dings. It is badly affect-
ing the weaker section
of the society. Taking
note of this, they have
planned this event.
Khan said that when
they shared the idea
with villagers, large
number of people came
forward to join in and
people have willingly

minister Mahesh
Joshi’s son who is ac-
cused of rape and has
now been asked to ap-
pear before them by

A senior police of-
ficer of Delhi police
said, “Our team of of-
ficers have reached
Jaipur in connection
with the case to nab
Joshi who has been ab-
sconding. Our teams
are conducting a
search to locate and
trace him,”
This comes days af-
ter a 23-year-old wom-
an from Jaipur has
alleged in Delhi that
Rohit, the son of Ra-
jasthan Minister for
Public Health Engi-
neering, raped her on
multiple occasions
over a year, following
which the Delhi Po-
lice has registered a
zero FIR initially. A
zero FIR can be regis-
tered anywhere in the
country.
The Delhi Police
team visited Joshis’
under construction
residence in Sen Col-
ony, Jaipur, where it
glued a notice for
Rohit Joshi.
“You are hereby in-
formed that a case has
been registered
against you at PS Sad-
ar Bazar, Delhi. You
are hereby directed to
appear before the un-
dersigned and to join

18 at 1.00 pm at PS Sa-
dar Bazar along with
any relevant record/
document available

states. The team did
not visit the official
residence of Minister
Mahesh Joshi.
“I have also come to
know that Delhi police
reached Jaipur. They
have not contacted me.
I have already said this
before that I stand by
the truth and justice. I
am a law abiding citi-
zen. When Delhi police
will come to me, I will
support their investi-
gation,” the minister
told reporters.
PHED Minister Ma-
hesh Joshi, however,
did not answer that
whether his son Rohit
Joshi was in Jaipur or
not. Rajasthan Police
also confirmed that a
Delhi Police team has
come to Jaipur early
Sunday morning in
connection with the
case.

them in their investigation”. Notably in her complaint,
the woman had alleged that she was raped on several
occasions between January 8 last year and April 17 this
year. Later, the Delhi Police converted the zero FIR into
a regular FIR since the allegations of commission of
sexual assault committed in Sadar Bazar police station
jurisdiction has also been mentioned.

He said, “Whether it

Amagarh, REET, rape,
no one ever committed
violence or nuisance

Kota/Jhunjhunu: A
candidate was caught
with a fake Aadhaar
card during the consta-
ble recruitment exami-
nation in Kota.
Kunhari police sta-
tion arrested Hem Sin-
gh Gurjar, a resident of
Bayana, Bharatpur. Ac-
cording to police, the
year of his birth was
1991, while a fake Aad-
haar card had 1996.
Gurjar reached the ex-
amination centre at a
private school in the
Nanta area of Kunhadi
for the second shift ex-
amination, but he was
caught during the
checking. According to
the police, he is being
questioned now.
However, in the ongo-
ing constable recruit-
ment exam the aspir-
ants across the state are
braving the heat. The
exam is proving to be an
uphill task for aspir-
ants. Tara Devi, a resi-
dent of Kotputli, who
had gone to appear for
examination at Jhunj-
hunu’s Morarka Col-
lege, fell ill while she
was giving exam. Offi-
cials informed that doc-
tors were called imme-
diately and she was ad-
ministered a glucose
infusion through an in-
travenous drip.
Two girls, who came
to appear for the exami-
nation at SMPG College
in Jhunjhunu, were not
allowed to sit in the
exam as they came with
painted hands (Mehen-
di). Duty officer SI Ma-
hesh Kumar said, “Ree-
na Meena of Dausa
come to appear for the
exam. As per instruc-
tions on admit card, stu-
dents cannot walk into
their examination cen-
tres with painted hands
or with ornaments.
Not just heat, aspirants are even struggling with the Transport.

INDIA’S MAIDEN
TRIUMPH IN THE
73 YEAR HISTORY
OF THOMAS CUP
escribe it as historic,
momentous, epic or
by any other adjec-
tive to applaud the
Indian badminton
team for their stupendous per-
formance at Bangkok’s Impact
Arena where they blanked out
Indonesia 3-0 to snatch the
Thomas Cup. This is India’s first
gold-winning moment in Thom-
as and Uber Cup’s 73-year his-
tory
. Pullela Gopichand, India’s
chief badminton coach, called it
“even bigger” than the 1983
cricket World Cup winning mo-
ment. Indeed, in both the events
no one gave India a chance. But
the team spirit shown by the
cricket squad in 1983 and by the
shuttlers on May 15, 2022 has
brought glory to the country
.
Badminton is essentially an
individual sport but Thomas
Cup being a team event each
member was required to put up
awinningperformancethrough-
out the tournament. That is why
it will be unfair to single out in-
dividual performances of young
Lakshya Sen or Kidambi Shri-
kant for heaping praise. Hail the
new badminton heroes as the
cup of joy spills over.

D
ess than a week
ago Turkey placed
a confirmed order
for 50,000 metric
tonnes of wheat
from India. This is the first
time that Turkey is buying
wheat from India. The devel-
opmentwasseenasbenefiting
farmers. For consumers bat-
tling inflation it was a wrong
move as exports would have
pushedupwheatpriceswhich
have already risen by around
15 percent in recent weeks.
The government also planned
to send trade delegations to
nine countries to look for pos-
sibilities of boosting wheat
export to achieve the wheat
export target of 10 million
tonnes fixed by the Centre.
All of a sudden India de-
cidedtobanexports,addingto
the global supply crisis. The
ban, which came two days af-
teranambitiousexporttarget
was fixed, took everyone by
surprise. The export ban will
notonlyhurtfarmersbutalso
countries relying on Indian
supplies. Domestically
, the de-
cision is being seen as anti-
farmer. The government rea-
sonedthatthedrasticdecision
was taken after projections
showed lower output than es-
timated earlier. While earlier
projections showed a record
111.3 million tonnes of pro-
duce,afterrevisionitwaslow-
ered to 98 million tonnes. The
government also argued that
the measure was meant to en-
sure wheat availability in the
domestic market where the
cereal’s prices are facing an
upsurge after Russia’s inva-
sion of Ukraine which pro-
duces 7 percent of the world’s
wheat.
The ban has not been taken
well by G7 nations who have
questioned the decision. Ger-
many’s agriculture minister
Cern said, “If everyone starts
to impose export restrictions
or to close markets, that
would worsen the crisis.”

L
Prabhu Shakti, Mantrana
Shakti and Utsah Shakti
THE NATURE OF POWER
n important, and perhaps the
only rule about power is that
it abhors a vacuum. Thus, if
you are mandated by Raj
Dharma to exercise power,
you must exercise it with full
vigour. Any abdication of the
same is not just criminal, but
also sinful. I urge you to ex-
ercise your Mantra shakti
and Utsah Shakti – because if
you don’t, someone else will.
If you’re not in a position to
render advise to the political
leadership, someone else will
step in, and in this day and
age of IT – there is no mo-
nopoly over knowledge, and
the past precedent is not the
only source.
HOW DOES ONE
LOOK AT POWER?
Do we see it as static – or do
we take a more dynamic view
of its multiple manifesta-
tions. It is true that as indus-
trial areas, education com-
plexes, tourism destinations
and production clusters, and
agribusinesses value chains
take root in the district, there
would be many more power
centres – but this also makes
the task of managing dis-
tricts more meaningful and
interesting for the DM. What
it also means is that the focus
will shift from livelihoods for
survival to skillsets for up-
ward mobility. Internal mi-
gration within the country
has been going on for over a
decade- but after Covid, dis-
tricts have started tracking
where the residents are – to
ensure that they get their en-
titlements – from a PDS card
to health facilities. Do we
view IT as a tool of empower-
ment, or do we see it as cut-
ting down our discretion?
FROM RULES TO ROLES
As the Prime Minister said in
his keynote address on the
Mission Karamyogi – we
have to move from a Rule-
based approach to one in
which the Role becomes the
driving factor. Thus, if you
take a dynamic view of pow-
er – you will find that the Am-
rit Kaal of India’s century
offers a billion opportunities
to do good, and to excel. If
you are governance profes-
sionals – which I believe you
are – then you must view
your role in that light. Study
the ground reality. observe
the rules that are not in sync
with the zeitgeist (spirt of
the time) and change them
(where you can) and ask for
them to be changed when the
authority lies elsewhere. And
one can be at the bottom of
the administrative pyramid
to initiate change.
Now that I am a senior
citizen, I am entitled to tell
some stories and blow my
trumpet. In the fifth year of
my service, I was the CEO of
the Himalayan Milk Union
where our profitability was
affected because as per the
extant norms of PFA, toned
milk had to have a minimum
of 3% fat. The norms for milk
had been made for the city of
Bombay- and the main source
of procurement was buffalo
milk – which naturally had a
higher fat content. These
norms were applied, without
adequate thought – across
the country, including the
municipalities in Darjeeling.
Now you can visualise the
difference between the desi
cows of the hills with the
sturdy buffaloes of Maha-
rashtra and Gujarat. The in-
tent was to prevent adultera-
tion –but for Himul, it meant
that we had to add WMP to
increase the fat content of
the naturally ‘lean milk’ of
the cows.
Let me also take this op-
portunity to address the ele-
phant in the room: I know
that many readers have been
concerned about comments
of Mr D Subba Rao, an ex-
governor of RBI about rele-
vance of IAS. He blames dis-
regard of merit and the ‘au-
tomatic promotion’ policy as
main reason for so-called de-
cline in the fabric of civil ser-
vices. Are we going to accept
the proposition of Mr D Sub-
ba Rao and others of his ilk
who believe in writing the
epitaph of the IAS (and by
implication – the other con-
stituted services). To this my
response is an emphatic NO.
For if we accept that India
has done well in most param-
eters of governance the cred-
it should be shared equally
by the political executive and
ourselves. We handled the
Covid crisis admirably – in
all the states and UTs – even
when they were under differ-
ent political dispensations.
As such, while it is impor-
tant to acknowledge our fail-
ures, it is equally, if not more
important to acknowledge
our successes and celebrate
them.

In this edition, the column shall expostulate concept of Raj Dharma
–also name of this column on Governance. Raj Dharma is about power
– yes, but power with responsibility. And to exercise power respon-
sibly, one has to look at 3 types of power – Prabhu shakti – power of
sovereign, Mantrana shakti – the power of knowledge and Utsah shakti
– power of enthusiastic energy. As civil servants, we are duty-bound
to give to political sovereign our Mantrana shakti – which in our case
translates to following constitutional verities – and Utsah Shakti –
which means that we should bring to any task that we take up – from
promotion of Geographical Indicators to Fasal Beema Yojana our full-
est commitment to the task at hand.

FROM PG 1
RAHUL IS...
It will have a direct effect in the coming days.” Gehlot
further added, “The situation in the country is critical.
RSS and BJP do politics in the name of religion. Riots
broke out in 3 places in the state and it had involvement
of the respected leaders of BJP. Congress’s connection
with the public has weakened. We will participate in the
happiness and misery of the general public.” The Chief
Miniter stressed that Rahul Gandhi is doing politics with
logic. “Polarization is happening in the name of religion.
Our government will be formed again in 2023. The people
of Rajasthan will trust our work, we took good decisions
during covid and also working to review the budget.”
MUST ENSURE...
However, there is a fear that our demographic dividend
will turn into a demographic disaster and BJP govt will be
held responsible for it,” Gandhi said. In a scathing attack
on Centre, Rahul said, “Meaningful conversations are not
allowed in India nowadays. We see conversations being
muzzled and we do not understand its consequences.”

Something
you have
implemented at
work is likely

turned lovers to fall apart, so chill and
relax for some time.

Horoscope by

here are four ti-
ger reserves in
Rajasthan such
as Ranthambore
Tiger Reserve, Sariska
Wildlife Sanctuary, Mu-
kandra Hills Tiger Re-
serve and Ramgarh
Vishdhari Wildlife
Sanctuary
. The State of
Rajasthan will get its
fifth tiger reserve in the
form of Kumbhalgarh.
The reserve will be ex-
panded roughly in four
districts of Rajasthan
namely Udaipur, Pali,
Sirohi and Rajsamand.
The confidential re-
port has been sent to
the environment min-
istry. According to the
report, the reserve will
be formed in a 2,053 sq
km area.
In early 2022, a Na-
tional Tiger Conserva-
tion Authority (NTCA)
report ruled out the
possibility of declaring
Rajasthan's Kumbhal-
garh wildlife sanctuar-
ies as a tiger reserve
because of some vital
reasons. Firstly, a deci-
sion has been formed to
relieve congestion of
the Ranthambore Tiger
Reserve. It is pertinent
to mention that Ranth-
ambore had 79 tigers in
July 2021 when the state
forest department con-
ducted the last estima-
tion. Secondly, Kumb-
halgarh had tigers ex-
istence till the 1970s
and hence, the land-
scaping of Kumbhal-
garh is appropriate for
tigers here.
After conducting a
survey of the area, a
four-member commit-
tee has also given its
nod to making Kumb-
halgarh a tiger reserve.
Vinod Kumar Rai, Dep-
uty Conservator of For-
est, Wildlife Rajsamand
in an interview with me
stated that the state gov-
ernment of Rajasthan
with the forest depart-
ment are working to fill
up the prerequisites
like the number of prey
base, staff and wildlife
vehicles, etc mentioned
by the NTCA for devel-
oping the area as a Ti-
ger Reserve. Once these
criteria will be followed
completely the team of
NTCA will again review
after three years in 2024
and then the decision
would be taken to de-
clare the Kumbhalgarh
as the fifth tiger reserve
of Rajasthan or not.
The tiger reserve will
be formed in two phas-
es. The width of the
Kumbhalgarh Sanctu-
ary is narrow i.e.
around 9 to 10 km.
Hence, it is planned that
more land would be ac-
quired to broaden or for
the expansion of that
area. During the first
phase of the project
1150 sq km of land fall-
ing under the revenue
department of Udaipur,
Pali, Sirohi and Rajsa-
mand districts will be
transferred to wildlife.
From four districts 526
sq km of forest area
will be transferred to
the wildlife. Similarly,
624 sq km of revenue
wasteland will also be
transferred and devel-
oped as the buffer zone
of the Kumbhalgarh
reserve. In the second
phase of the project, as
per the planning of the
state government of
Rajasthan by NTCA ti-
ger reintroduction plan
will be generated in the
year 2024-25. After that,
the tigers will be relo-
cated and released into
the reserve. Initially, at
least one pair will be
released. And the en-
tire budget will be giv-
en by the central gov-
ernment.
Thewildlifeof Kumb-
halgarh includes the
Indian wolf, Indian
leopard, sloth bear,
striped hyena, Golden
jackal, jungle cat, samb-
har, nilgai, chausingha
(the four-horned ante-
lope), chinkara and In-
dian hare. The leopard
is the apex predator in
the sanctuary and
therefore, Kumbhal-
garh is more appropri-
ate for leopards. Ac-
cording to a wildlife
census, between 300 to
400 leopards are found
in and around the
Kumbhalgarh and in
the entire Rajsamand
district. For this project
as an apt move to devel-
op the area as a tiger
reserve, three villages
have to be relocated and
at large 18 villages will
be shifted. In the pe-
riphery, there is a total
of 20 small villages and
a plan to relocate these
villages needs to be
formed. According to
Vinod Kumar Rai, “The
decision of relocating
these villages have
been taken as 10 villag-
es among these total
number of 18 are
already forest villages.
Three other villages
willingly want to relo-
cate and need compen-
sation.”
He further stated that
planning to develop
around four to five
thousand hectares of
grassland should be de-
veloped. Also, a pre-
base survey will be con-
ducted by the team of
the Wildlife Institute of
India to know the actu-
al number of prey here
for tigers. It is also rec-
ommended that
through big enclosures,
breeding centres will be
designed for cheetals,
chinkaras, nilgai and
sambhars so that later
these animals will be
released into the forest.
In February 2022
around 25 Chinkara,
Nilgai and Sambhar
were being raised from
Jalore into a soft enclo-
sure with the intent to
release their offspring
in the Kumbhalgarh
wildlife sanctuary
.
The members of the
NTCA and MP Diya
Kumari criticized the
state government for
dragging its feet to de-
clare the sanctuary as
a tiger reserve. GV Red-
dy, who retired as the
Chief Wildlife Warden
of Rajasthan about a
year ago, said that this
region is known for the
striped hyena and the
wolf, which too are en-
dangered instead of
more tiger sanctuaries,
what the state needs
are sanctuaries that ca-
ter to the less well-
known species that
face threats from ram-
pant stone mining and
alterations in their
habitats.
