Jaipur: The tourism

the increase in the
number of passengers
at Jaipur International
Airport is relatively
low. Jaipur airport has
ranked number 13 in

Authority of India.
There has been a sig-
nificant increase in the
number of passengers

month of November.
In October, where
3.72 lakh passengers
traveled from the
Jaipur airport, in No-

increased to more than
4.31 lakh.
But despite this,
both Lucknow and

PAPER LEAK OUR GOVT’S
FAILURE,SAYS MINGUDHA
Udaipur police arrested two more accused in RPSC paper leak case

J a i p u r / U d a i p u r :
Sainik Welfare Minis-
ter Rajendra Gudha
on Wednesday cornered
his own
g o v e r n -
ment over
the teach-
ers’ paper
leak case.
He said that
there should be an in-
quiry into the matter.
“It is our failure that
we are not able to con-
duct the examination.
Papers are leaking. We
are unable to take ac-
tion. The government
has done a lot of works
for the public in the
state, but due to paper
leaks the benefits may
be lost,” he said.
Gudha said that
somewhere there must
be loophole at the gov-
ernment level. “This
matter may be investi-
gated from anywhere,
but one thing is clear
that we have failed to
get the paper done and
if we cannot get the pa-
per done, then it is not
right,” he added.
Meanwhile, police in
Udaipur arrested two
more in RPSC paper
leak case. Hiranmagari

rested Sukhram, father

DIGITAL INDIA IN 2023...
THE WAY FORWARD
I am sure in the future
there will be 2 kinds of
organizations, 1)
Technology Businesses
and 2) Technology
Enabled Businesses/
Organizations, without
that it will be difficult to
sustain for the long term
and make an impact
on any business or
Government. I believe
technology has aided
civilization in a variety
of ways, the most notable
of which are health
care, education, and
communication. It has
also changed the way
people enjoy themselves,
participate in politics,
and work. Society
and technology are
inextricably linked and
will continue to evolve
ovid rocked the world. It almost
took away two years from us but
if I see the silver lining in this
pandemic that will be Digital
Adoption by the mass popula-
tion. India has taken huge ad-
vantage of digital technologies
not only to test, track and trace
but also for vaccination and
awareness. In my opinion, Covid
has shrunk 10 years of digital
adoption in two years. Digital
India has become a life-saving
initiative for the country and in
my option will continue to make
an impact in people’s lives.
On the other side, the crypto
crash has wiped out more than
$2 trillion in wealth. As per
Crunchbase, venture capital-
backed companies absorbed $2.9
billion in the third quarter of
2022, down 66% sequentially and
81% year-on-year. We have the
ongoing Big Tech downsizing,
with tens of thousands of job
losses. Now with 2023 upon us,
this is an opportune moment to
reflect upon this tumultuous
year, learn lessons and start
looking ahead.
BEST INTERNET EVER
In 2023 we could look
at mass impact
through 5G adoption.
High throughout and
low latency have made 5G an ex-
citing trend to watch out for in
2023. In October 2022, the Prime
Minister of India Sh. Narendra
Modi ji launched 5G in the coun-
try and unveiled various 5G use
cases of various Telecom Service
Providers in education, health,
worker safety
, smart agriculture,
etc. For enterprises, both large
and small, 5G will play a vital
role in extracting value in sec-
tors like manufacturing, automo-
tive, gaming, education, and in-
dustries through digital twins,
smart manufacturing, immer-
sive content, etc.
HUMANS LIKE ROBOTS
We have heard of so-
cial robots and Cobots
orcollaborativerobots
who can work just like
your colleague in the office. 2023
will see robots becoming more
like humans. You should not be
surprised when you see a robot
taking on the role of check-in ex-
ecutive, bartender, concierge, or
caregiver for the geriatric.
They’ll also perform complex
tasks in warehouses and facto-
ries as they work alongside hu-
mans in manufacturing and lo-
gistics. Elon Musk revealed 2
Optimus humanoid robot proto-
types and said company would be
ready to take orders within next
3 to 5 years.
DRIVERLESS VEHICLES
It’s hard to move to a
new city without
Mapmyindia or goog-
le map app on mobile.
These maps are now powered
with AI and automobiles to take
us to the destination we want,
without any directions from
Drivers. Driverless cars and
trucks are already getting per-
mission and soon that will be a
reality in India too.
DIGITAL HYGIENE
Digital Hygiene is a
phrase that refers to
the practice of main-
taining your tech de-
vices, protecting your digital in-
formation,andsafeguardingyour
electronic assets. Digital hygiene
will be more important than ever
foreveryoneincludingarchitects,
designers etc. I have many rea-
sons to believe that cyber attacks
will increase in 2023 and people
need to protect themselves more
than ever before. Even MSMEs/
SMEs will be targeted and may
face huge cyber threats. Most of
these attacks take advantage of
known vulnerabilities that have
not been remediated.
AI AND PREDICTION
In 2023, more technol-
ogy teams will focus
on putting data and
actionable insights in
the hands of the entire work-
force. AI will process the enor-
mous amount of data generated
by every organization, external
data sources will be leveraged to
gain even more insight and data
governance will become a prior-
ity for more organizations. Even
the AI projects by GoI like Bhash-
ni will make a huge impact on
people’s life.
DIGITAL INDIA ACT
A significant amount
of work has been done
on the proposed Digi-
tal India Act, and the
draft legislative framework to
support ‘India’s Techade’ is ex-
pected by early 2023. The upcom-
ing Digital India Act will report-
edly classify various online inter-
mediaries such as social media
platforms, e-commerce, and fact-
checking portals as different cat-
egories and come out with spe-
cific regulations for each of these
categories. The new law is likely
to prescribe different kinds of
intermediaries because their
regulation has to be different.
DIGITAL CURRENCY
Imagine your all cur-
rency notes get con-
verted into digital
form. That will be the
norm soon by our RBI because of
CBDC. Central Bank Digital Cur-
rency (CBDC) pilot launched by
RBI in the retail segment has
components based on blockchain
technology
. CBDC is a legal ten-
der issued by the RBI in digital
form. It is the same as the fiat
currency and is exchangeable
one-to-one with the fiat currency
.
Only its form is different — it is
not paper (or polymer) like phys-
ical cash. It is a fungible legal
tender, for which holders need
not have a bank account. Some
might confuse it with UPI, but let
metellyou,it’sdifferent.ACBDC
is a digital currency that can be
used for various financial trans-
actions, while a UPI is a payment
system that enables digital pay-
ments between participating
banks and financial institutions.
MULTILINGUAL INTERNET
Multilingualism be-
comes an extremely
crucial aspect to
bring the next one bil-
lion users onto the network.
There are more than 7,000 lan-
guages used across the globe. In
India, we have 22 scheduled lan-
guages. Govt of India has pre-
pared a policy for Multilingual
Internet and Universal Accept-
ance. Localized domain names
and email addresses are the key
pillars. On my idea to promote
Universal Acceptance in the
world, ICANN along with UASG
are going to celebrate UA-Day
every March 28 and the first-ever
UA-Day is going to be celebrated
globally in the year 2023 with the
main event in India. This will ac-
celerate the process to bring the
non-English population online.
All businesses, websites, and
services have to accommodate
email addresses in different lan-
guages, for instance, अजय@डाटा.भारत
(email ID in Hindi).

Civil aviation sector witnessing
V-shaped recovery: Scindia
New Delhi (PTI): The
country’s civil aviation
sector is witnessing a
very strong V-shaped
recovery with encour-
aging domestic passen-
ger numbers, and the
growth will continue in
the coming years, Un-
ion Minister Jyotiradi-
tya Scindia said on
Wednesday
.
After being signifi-
cantly hit by the corona-
virus pandemic, the
sector is on the recov-
ery path and the daily
domestic air passenger
traffic has been above
the 4-lakh mark for the
past few weeks.
Against the backdrop
of congestionatairports
that has now eased, the
civil aviation minister
also said efforts have
been made to ensure
that airport operators
put in place steps that
will allow the deconges-
tion of airports.
I“I believe that the
civil aviation sector has
rebounded and what we
in economic parlance
sayV-shapedrecovery
.A
very strong V-shaped re-
covery
. I do believe that
(with the) value proposi-
tion that airlines and
airports offer our cus-
tomers, we are seeing
greater participation
and a greater desire to
travel by air which is
why we are looking at
these very very high
numbers,” he said.

Does Rahul want to
vitiate atmosphere
in Kashmir: Thakur
New Delhi (PTI): Does
Rahul Gandhi want to
vitiate the atmosphere
in Kashmir, Union min-
ister Anurag Thakur
asked on Wednesday
about the Congress’
plans to unfurl the tri-
colour in the Valley
and stressed that the
situation in Jammu
and Kashmir has im-
proved significantly
under the Modi govern-
ment.
An estimated 1.6
crore tourists have vis-
ited Jammu and Kash-
mir in one year, which
is a record in itself, the
minister told report-
ers.
“Now tourists can
visit every corner of
Jammu and Kashmir.
This shows that the
situation has improved
in Jammu and Kash-
mir. There are no stone
pelting incidents. Does
Rahul Gandhi want to
go there to spoil the at-
mosphere?” “Today,
anyone can unfurl the
tricolour in any part of
Jammu and Kashmir
because the Narendra
Modi government has
ended Article 370 and
Article 35A in JK,” he
added.
Thakur reminded
him of the Ekta Yatra
undertaken in 1992 by
then BJP president
Murli Manohar Joshi
and Narendra Modi,
who had unfurled the
national tricolour at
Lal Chowk in Srinagar.

During an event cele-

he said, “BJP has a huge
washing machine that
can clean even the big-
gest stains. When people

New Delhi: Congress leader Salman Khurshid,
who recently triggered a controversy by comparing
party MP to Rahul Gandhi with Lord Ram, added
fuel to the fire as he said that “Rahul Gandhi is not
Lord Ram but the BJP is following the path of Ra-
vana.” “Rahul Gandhi is not Lord Ram, but he can
follow the path shown by Lord Ram. They (BJP)
are saying that you do not have the right to walk on
it. We have objection as they are following the path
of Ravana instead of Ram,” said Khurshid.

elections. “Congress getting back on track is what
India needs now,” Stalin said. Stalin also heaped
praise on “brother” Rahul Gandhi, saying he is the
“ideal antidote” to the BJP’s “parochial” politics.

the community was forced to leave Kashmir Val-

warranted at the moment as
most people in country are
yet to receive a third dose

booster, they said.

jasthan Congress In-
charge Sukhjinder
Randhawa has asked
party workers not to en-
gage in any propoganda
that would prove bad
for party
.
Randhawa advised to
MLAs workers to
share their concerns di-
rectly with him saying,
“If I get information via
media about anyone’s
rhetoric, I would be
pained that person
will become zero for me.
If anyone wants to talk
about anything, then
meet me. But all this
drama won’t work.
Nothing is more impor-
tant than party, don’t
make any rhetoric.”
He further said,
“’Whether someone is
senior or junior, what
the Congress high com-
mand says should be
followed.”
“Loyalty is the big-
gest thing in the party
. I
was MLA for 4 times,
my father was a Con-
gressman for a long
time, but my family
never betrayed Con-
gress,” Randhawa said.
Interestingly, Harish
Chaudhary was also
present at time of Rand-
hawa’s blunt remark.
Dotasra in his address said, “Election is
nearing, if the govt has to repeat in 2023,
we will have to leave this is mine that is your
approach. We have only one religion caste,
that is Congress. The people sitting in govt
will have to understand the pain suffering
of the common worker, they will have to do
all his work,” he said.“As per Rahul Gandhi’s
wish, we have announced from today that
all ministers, MLAs and workers will walk
15 kilometres to go among the public and
inform the public about the flagship scheme
of the government and Centre’s failure.
Accusing the BJP and RSS of weakening
democracy the Constitution, CM Ashok
Gehlot said that Cong’s fight will continue
against their policies. Talking to reporters on
Congress’ Foundation day, he said that party
has come a long way since its foundation
whether it is in power or not, it is firm on
its policies programmes.“Rahulji said our
fight is against policies of RSS BJP. It will
continue. We are capable of protecting the
Constitution. They are destroying the Consti-
tution weakening the roots of democracy
and the country will not tolerate it,” he said.

Jaipur: Till now there
were speculations that
the budget of Rajasthan
will be announced soon,
but looking at the prepa-
rations of the govern-
ment, it seems that the
budget will be an-
nounced in February
.
The government is pre-
paringtocalltheAssem-
bly session in the last
week of January or the
first week of February
.
The government
wants that the budget of
Central Government
should be declared first,
only after that the State
Budget should be pre-
sented. Experts also be-
lieve that if the Central
budget comes earlier,
then the State Govt gets
an idea of the share
amount to be received
from the Centre. This
makes it easier for State
to make budget. Accord-
ingly
, preparations are
going on in the Finance
Department regarding
thebudget.Thistimethe
budget will be an entire-
ly an ‘election budget’ so
that Congress gets bene-
fit in the elections. Thus,
provision will be made
for new schemes and
projects in budget. The

hardworking people in

ernments with true de-
termination are very
few. And if leaders with
true intentions work in
this country, then India
will also become num-
ber one,” said the Pun-

pected to celebrate New
Year with his family in

fter cotton, jute, commonly re-
ferred to as the golden fibre and is
the second-most significant plant
fibre. The jute’s quality improves
with shine. Because jute is biode-
gradable, it is a fibre that is envi-
ronmentally beneficial.
Nowadays it is far more utility thanks to
artisans, that their work is starting to re-
ceive attention and becoming increasingly
in demand among customers. Many differ-
ent things, including textiles, home fur-
nishings, jewellery, bags and clothes are
available in the market.
Both handlooms and factories are used
for the spinning and weaving of high-qual-
ity yarns into a lightweight, fine-textured
textiles with uniform composition in love-
ly colours and patterns.
This is the reason it is called one of the
finest fibres. It has an extremely strong,
coarse, and inflexible thread. To create
purses, caps, skirts, and even tapestry ac-
cessories out of golden thread, many jute
clothing are delicately hand- or crochet-
embroidered.
Jute textiles have several advantages,
including being fully biodegradable and
having antistatic and insulating qualities.
It is very hygroscopic and simultaneously
has poor heat conductivity and moderate
humidity retention.
Jute clothing has a high tensile strength
and a low extensibility coefficient, which
contribute to its durability
.
This type of clothing is new and many
celebrities are already a fan of jute fash-
ion. Due to its high quality, it is highly in
demand. Apart from that, a wide range of
female clothing such as skirts, one-pieces,
coats and tops are obtainable in the market
for purchase. If we talk about makeup
shimmery bronze, nude or natural make-
up with a good amount of highlighter and
cheekbones and forehead would suit the
best with jute-style clothes and will make
you the highlight of the party
.

CITY FIRST
inter has finally
arrived, and
who wouldn't
enjoy cosy eve-
nings at home or
the festive occa-
sions that go
along with them? It is im-
possible to have a holiday
celebration without tasty
snacks that are easy to pre-
pare, nutritious, and deli-
cious, and you can never
do that without tasty deli-
cacies that are simple to
prepare, and meet the cri-
teria for the celebration,
ready to cook delicacies
are surely proving to be the
most ideal choice during
winters.
Previously, ready-to-
cook food contained pre-
servatives, but those days
are long gone. In order to
dispel certain myths asso-
ciated with frozen food and
highlight how ready-to-
cook options have emerged
as the healthiest and most
convenient options during
winter, a tasting ceremony
was organized in Delhi and
Chandigarh. At a tasting
ceremony hosted by Meat-
ington and Grab a Green,
some easy-to-cook and deli-
cious winter snacks were
presented to food aficiona-
dos. Meatington Co-found-
ers Neeta Malik and Ashu-
tosh Malik and Co-Founder
Entrepreneur Chef Sachin
Sahgal organised this
event.
A live demonstration of
ready-to-cook delicacies
was given by Sachin Sah-
gal, and the vast variety of
food included kebabs, tik-
kas, Rumalis, tikis, patties
etc. These delicacies were
served with a variety of
breads and rumalis, mak-
ing them an ideal choice
for winter celebrations.
Neeta Malik elaborated
on the reasons why ready-
to-cook meals are an ideal
choice for winter and bust-
ed myths about them. In
regards to the same, she
stated, When you
have a busy
schedule and have lots of
commitments, ready-to-
cook food and snacks are
the preferred option. In
addition to being con-
venient, it also saves
you from having to
cook time-consuming
meals. Added further,
she said, The second
benefit of frozen foods
is that they can be pre-
pared quickly
. They are
quick and easy to pre-
pare, making them
ideal for every-
one. Their
acces-
sibility and convenience
make them even better!
The event was graced
by Ashutosh Malik, who
elaborated, Winter
evenings are the most
ideal time for tasty
treats and the most
suitable option here
is a perfectly
cooked bowl
of soup or
b r o w n
rice, which
pairs beau-
t i f u l l y
w e l l
w i t h
f r o -
zen food combinations,
making your winter eve-
nings wholesome and en-
joyable. And to get this ex-
perience you only need to
open your box of ready-to-
cook food and heat it up,
saute it or microwave it.
Frozen foods have a longer
storage life, in addition to
being accurately weighed,
allowing you to prepare as
much as you like and keep
the remaining for the next
time. This ensures that ex-
tra food is not cooked
and thrown out. All the
wastage that occurs
while preparing the
meal is also saved here.
According to
Sachin Sahgal, there are
many brands who are no
longer using artificial es-
sences, colours or preserv-
atives in their frozen food
and insted opting for herb-
al ingredients to keep the
food fresh and nutrition
rich. Furthermore, freez-
ing food preserves micro
and macro nutrients, pre-
venting harmful bacteria
from growing. Using high-
tech packaging innova-
tions and natural herbs,
Meatington keeps food in-
tact without the use of pre-
servatives, concluded
Sachin Sahgal.
