The BJP’s spectacular victory in Guwahati
Municipal elections is a testimony of
people’s unwavering trust in PM Shri
@narendramodi’s leadership and CM
Shri @himantabiswa’s commitment
for development. I congratulate ‘Team
Himanta’ @BJP4Assam karyakartas on
this significant win.

@PiyushGoyal
Happy National Panchayati Raj Day
to all the countrymen. Our villages
have made significant contribution in
making the country prosperous. The
BJP government under the leadership
of Prime Minister @NarendraModi Ji is
strengthening the Panchayati Raj system
by being committed for the upliftment of
the village-poor.
TOP TWEETS
EMIRATE BUSINESS
LEADERS’ VISIT TO
KASHMIR IS GOOD
FOR UT’S FUTURE
rime Minister Nar-
endra Modi’s visit to
Jammu and Kashmir
on Sunday is of con-
siderable signifi-
cance as he went there with de-
velopmental projects worth Rs
20,000 crore and also because it
was his first after the scrapping
of Article 370. The government
has been trying to bring about
substantial improvement in gov-
ernance and ease of living. In a
smart move the PM took along
with him a delegation of top
business leaders from the UAE,
an important member of the Is-
lamic world. They are expected
to make investments worth Rs
3000 crore in the infrastructure
sector. This could prove to be a
game-changer for the BJP which
hopes to revive the political pro-
cess in the Union territory and
also add to Modi’s image.
Choosing to celebrate the Na-
tional Panchayati Raj Day from
Samba bordering Pakistan the
PM praised JK where democ-
racy has reached the grassroots
level. Barring stray cases of
terrorist-related killings JK
looks poised to turn a new leaf.
P
here has always
been a debate for
and against death
penalty in India.
Those against it
argue that it is no deterrence
against crime. Gruesome
rapes committed after the
2013 gang-rape of a girl in
Delhi and a Dalit girl’s rape
in Hathras in 2020 prove this
group’s argument. On the
other hand, Amnesty Inter-
national argues that capital
punishment violates a con-
vict’s human right so it
should be done away with. In
the face of for and against
arguments the Supreme
Court ruled in 1983 that the
death penalty should be or-
dered only in the “rarest of
rare” cases. Ever since, there
have been fewer cases in
which criminals have been
sent to the gallows as sen-
tencing to life became more
common.
But Madhya Pradesh
seems averse to the policy of
“rarest of rare case”. On the
contrary, the state govern-
ment rewards public prose-
cutors on the number of
death sentences they win at
the level of trial courts. At-
torney-General KK Venugo-
pal submitted before a three-
judge bench of the Supreme
Court that the practice
should be “nipped in the
bud”. The bench is headed by
Justice UU Lalit and com-
prises Justices S Ravindra
Bhat and PS Narasimha.
To set things right the
bench indicated that it
would lay down guidelines
for the courts to follow
across the country. The
guidelines will be applicable
to cases involving death sen-
tences. The AG agreed with
the bench that the system
pertaining to the death sen-
tence, instead of being in-
centive-based, needs to “in-
stitutionalised”. An impor-
tant change being consid-
ered is to provide legal as-
sistance to the accused.
INCENTIVISING DEATH
PENALTY THE MP WAY
Amnesty International argues
that capital punishment
violates a convict’s human
right so it should be done
away with. In the face of for
and against arguments
the Supreme Court ruled
in 1983 that the death penalty
should be ordered only in the
“rarest of rare” cases
T
US AND EUROPE SHOULD ARTICULATE THEIR OBJECTIVES
UKRAINIAN VICTORY
AND RUSSIAN DISABILITY
Ukraine presents a stern test
for the resolve of the Free
World and its underwriter,
the United States. American
people are able and up to the
task. It is for American
leaders to be worthy of the
sacrifice and trust of its
citizens. Handled right,
America, the Free World
and Ukraine will come
through it stronger and
more united. A free and
whole Ukraine including all
of Crimea and Donbas will
be the proof of it
merican and European po-
litical leaders have demon-
strated exceptional unity in
opposing the Russian inva-
sion of Ukraine. As the igno-
minious invasion grinds to-
wards a protracted war, the
United States and Europe
should convey their resolve
to stay the course by articu-
lating clear objectives for the
end of the war.
The United States and Eu-
rope should plainly state that
their tactical goal is to ensure
a Ukraine victory. Ukraine
has earned the right to define
the parameters of victory
within its sovereign territory
.
It should be the United States’
policy to do all in its power,
short of direct military con-
frontation with Russia, to en-
sure Ukraine wins and Rus-
sia loses. Russia needs to
come out poorer for having
unlawfully invaded a peace-
ful neighbor. Lest it consoli-
date its ill-gotten gains and
bide it’s time for another
strike – as has been Russia’s
way under Putin’s rule.
The Russian invasion of
Ukraine is not just a regional
conflict. It is a frontal attack
by a revisionist autocracy on
the rules-based free world
that enabled over seven dec-
ades of unprecedented global
peace and prosperity. Rus-
sia’s blatant attack on the
free world order should be
forcefully repulsed to ensure
such attacks are not repeated
or encouraged. A resolute re-
sponse would warn China
not to follow in Russia’s foot-
steps in attempting to take
Taiwan by force. The peace
and prosperity of the United
States, Eurowwpe and the
rest of the free world depends
on it. Ambivalence and half
measures paved the way to
the invasion of Ukraine. Gaz-
ing into Putin’s soul, press-
ing RESET buttons with Lav-
rov and taking Putin’s word
over your own intelligence
services need be relegated to
the dustbin of history as
grave follies.
Stayingthecoursethrough
a protracted war in Ukraine
to its eventual victory will be
hard. Transatlantic leaders,
in respect to their citizens,
should be candid about it. It
is in America and Europe’s
direct national interest to en-
sure a Ukraine victory and to
preserve the Free World or-
der. Failure will incur high
costs in blood and treasure
both here and now, as well as
down the road. Consequent-
ly, this endeavor is deserving
of sacrifice by free world
citizens, including enduring
momentary discomfort and
high costs.
In the near-term, America
and Europe should act with
greater urgency along three
fronts to ensure a Ukrainian
victory: strengthening
Ukraine’s defensive capabili-
ties, buttressing Ukraine’s
finances and exacting exten-
sive economic costs on Russia
to desist its war. Humanitar-
ian assistance for over seven
million displaced Ukrainians
should continue unabated.
Ukrainians have proven
that with right weapons they
are more than a match for the
Russian conscripts. America
and Europe should augment
their supply of defensive
weapons – with requisite le-
thality – for Ukraine’s forces
to take the fight to the Rus-
sians within Ukraine’s sover-
eign territory. Importantly,
America should prioritize
building Ukrainian air de-
fense capacity with all neces-
sary haste. Ukraine cannot be
allowed to falter for the lack
of appropriate munitions.
AmericaandEuropeshould
guarantee that the Ukrainian
state remains solvent. The
country is at war with its
economy in shambles. The US
and Europe should act
through the International
MonetaryFundandtheWorld
Bank to provide a robust fi-
nancial assistance package to
Ukraine. The G7 could estab-
lishaUkraineReconstruction
and Reinvestment Fund with
credit guarantees.

Guwahati (Agen-
cies): The BJP-led rul-
ing alliance in Assam
swept the Guwahati
Municipal Corporation
(GMC) elections, the
results for which were
declared on Sunday.
The alliance bagged
58 of the 60 wards –
BJP 52 (three unop-
posed) and Asom Gana
Parishad (AGP) six.
One ward each went to
AAP and Asom Jatiya
Parishad. The opposi-
tion Congress, the sec-
ond biggest party in
the state assembly af-
ter the BJP, failed to
win even a single seat.
A beleaguered Con-
gress, fighting for sur-
vival, drew a blank.
The polls were held af-
ter a gap of nine years.
Chief Minister Him-
anta Biswa Sarma was
effusive in his praise
of the voters for giving
the BJP alliance a his-
toric win.
“With this massive
mandate, people have
reaffirmed their faith
on our development
journey under the
guidance of the
Adarniya PM,” he said.

ter sometime. For such
guests, keep a couple of
boxes of cold drink and

New Delhi: Even
though 27 IAS officers
of the 1990 Batch were
empanelled for Secre-
tary or Secretary
equivalent posts in
Government of India,
on 23 October 2021, only
six of them have so far
been given Secretary-
level posting. They are
Sanjay Malhotra (Sec-
retary, DFS), Alkesh
Kumar Sharma (Secre-
tary Coordination,
Cabinet Secretariat),
Manoj Ahuja (Secre-
tary, Agriculture, 
Farmers Welfare), Pan-
kaj Jain (Secretary, Oil
 Gas), and Ms. Aarti
Ahuja (Secretary,
Chemical  Petrochem-
icals), Meeta R Lochan
(Secretary, NCW).
However, the remain-
ing 21 are still awaiting
their turn for posting in
the departments/min-
istries even as over half
a dozen Secretary-level
posts have been lying
vacant, few of them for
several months.
Of twenty one on
wait, eleven of them are
presently working in
their Cadre states while
ten are working in Govt
of India. Eight are hold-
ing Additional Secre-
tary rank post at Centre
whereas Ms. Alka Upad-
hyaya (Chairperson,
NHAI) and MS Bhatia
(DG, ESIC), holding AS-
level post, have been
given the rank  pay of
a Union Secretary
.
It is pointed out that
from over a hundred
IAS officers from the
1990 batch, 49 were em-
paneled as AS or AS
Equivalent (GoI), thus
qualifying for empanel-
ment as Secretary or
Secretary Equivalent.
On October 10 last year
24 officers were empan-
eled as Secretary and
three as Secretary
equivalent - Ms. Archa-
na Agrawal (Member
Secretary, NCR Plan-
ning Board), Vijoy Ku-
mar Singh (AS, Tex-
tiles), and Ravi Shankar
Prasad (in Cadre).
In addition to VK
Singh  Ms. Archana
Agrawal, the other of-
ficers from the batch
are naturally keen on
their turn for posting
includes; SKG Rahate
(Ministry of Power),
Atul Kumar Tiwari
(Skill Development),
Arun Baroka (DWS), K
Moses Chalai (Secre-
tary, NEC Council),
Ganji Kamala Vardha-
na Rao (DG Tourism),
and Vivek Bhardwaj
who is seen as unique-
ly placed under Cen-
tral Deputation as Act-
ing ACS Health in
JK. RK Goyal’s pre-
mature repatriation,
post empanelment,
was noticed well in
power corridors.
It is said that some
of the above-men-
tioned officers may
have to wait only for a
little while for posting
as the government is
in the process of com-
pleting the first review
on the basis of feed-
back from former civil
servants. It is learnt
that about 15 names
are being considered
yet who all will be em-
paneled in the first re-
view may become clear
in due course.

BUREAUCRACY
Srinagar (PTI): The
security forces on
Sunday gunned down
at least three terror-
ists affiliated with the
proscribed terror
group Lashkar-e-Tai-
ba (LeT), the Jammu
and Kashmir police
informed.
The three militants
were killed in the Pa-
hoo area of Pulwama
in south Kashmir.
Based on specific in-
puts about the pres-
ence of terrorists in
the area, security
forces launched a
search operation
there, a police official
told media.
The search opera-
tion turned into an
encounter after the
terrorists fired upon
the security person-
nel, who retaliated. In
the exchange of fir-
ing, three terrorists
have been killed so
far, the police said.
While the area has
been cordoned off,
the operation is still
underway.
This is the third en-
counter in the Kash-
mir valley in three
days and the fourth in
JK. With this en-
counter, 10 terrorists
have been killed in
four encounters in the
past three days.
The DG of JKP said,
“An encounter started
on a specific input of
district police Pulwah-
ma at Pahoo village in
Pulwahma.”

Hyderabad (Agen-

Minister K Chan-
drashekar Rao’s party
has signed up a contract
with political consult-
ant IPAC, once led by
election strategist
Prashant Kishor, ahead
of next year’s assembly
elections in the state.
Kishor, who is appar-
ently on the verge of
joining Congress, has
been camping out in
Rao’s official residence
in Hyderabad since Sat-
urday
,sourceshavesaid.
ThecontractwithRao
has been expected for a
while. But it has trig-
gered speculation in the
light of Kishor’s talks
with the Congress —
joining it with an exten-
sive plan to rejuvenate
the Grand Old Party
.
In three meetings so
far, has made detailed
presentations about his
plans. He has also appar-
ently given the Congress
a May 2 deadline for a
decision. Party chief So-
nia Gandhi, in consulta-
tionwithateamof veter-
ansandRahulGandhi,is
likely to take a final call
onthematteratacrucial
meeting tomorrow.
A section of Con-
gress veterans, howev-
er, have been wary of
any association with
Kishor, in view of his
advisory role to parties
in direct competition
with the Congress in
the States — among
them Mamata Baner-
jee’s Trinamool Con-
gress and Jagan Mohan
Reddy’s YSR Congress.
Sources have also in-
dicated that the special
team Gandhi formed to
evaluate Kishor’s pro-
posal, wants him to dis-
sociate from all other
political parties and
devote himself entirely
to the Congress.
While Kishor has of-
ficially ended his rela-
tions with IPAC, he is
said to be privy to all the
decisions of the organi-
sation which he has led
for a number of years.

rebirth. I am merely a
being troubled by pain
and hope that the pain
ends someday. I was a
member of Gandhi
Peace Foundation and
used to participate in
activities for social
service so the values​​
of my childhood have
remained with me till
today. Neither did I buy
an inch of land, nor
did I buy a gram of
gold, nor did I buy sil-
ver.
On most politicians
holding assets, Gehlot
said, MLA-MP gets
one flat each so I re-
member I must have
had a housing board
house lying in Mansa-
rovar whose install-
ments were started
over 40 years ago. But
no one can live there as
it is not even worth liv-
ing now. Barring that
and 2 plots, I have not
done anything else and
it never crossed my
mind also that you ar-
range (financial secu-
rity) for 7 generations.
So I want to live my life
in the same way that I
have lived till today.

OF
THE
DAY!
Aries
MARCH 21 - APRIL 20
A rethink is in order for
those going in for a
heavy investment.
Recovering a loaned
amount from someone

trip is on the cards. You manage to
weave your magic on the one you love.
Gemini
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Satisfaction is foreseen
for the image conscious
people trying to achieve
perfect figure and
physique. Your efforts
on the academic front will keep you in
contention. You are likely to spend an
enjoyable time with a close relation
today. Your helping hand to someone in
need will be greatly appreciated.
Leo
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
Homemakers can
exceed budget in doing
up their homes. An old
friend or a relative is

hurdles in making it a success. Love
beckons and promises to give
immense joy and fulfillment.

SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 22
Financial worries evapo-
rate as new avenues of
earning open up. You
will put in efforts to
complete a task
entrusted to you. Your academic
aspirations may take some time to get
realised. A property issue may not
show any signs of getting sorted out
amicably, so have a backup plan ready.
Sagittarius
NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22
You will manage to
ignore distractions and
interruptions at work to
complete a pending task
in time. Job prospects
for those freshly out of professional
institutes are set to brighten up soon.
Those not in a stable job can expect
permanency. Health will be satisfactory,
as you remain regular in workouts.
Aquarius
JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19
A major purchase
might make a dent in
all your savings, but
will help in keeping up
with the flow .
Speculation may not be profitable and
you can very well burn your fingers.
Some of you may get hard pressed to
find a good match for someone
eligible in the family.
Taurus
APRIL 21 - MAY 20
A lot of time may be
wasted in socialising,
but you will love every
moment of it. You will
succeed in surmounting
the odds to get a stalled job back on the
tracks. Something concerning property
will work out in your favour. A romantic
outing is on the cards and promises
much fun and frolic.

AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23
It is one of those days
when you will feel
satisfied with whatever
you do today on the
social front. Those

relative can touch a sensitive nerve
and get you all upset. A job switch
needs to be considered.
Scorpio
OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Sticking to workout
routine may benefit you
on the health front.
Meeting relatives at a
marriage or party

money. You will be able to de-stress
yourself completely today.

To Receive the Most Exclusive News from
the Power Corridors of Rajasthan  Delhi. WHY PUT STUDENTS
THROUGH STRESS?
Educationist and entrepreneur Rajesh Bhatia says the education system must
become more responsive to the needs of students during the pandemic
CITY FIRST
he unpredicta-
bility of the on-
going pandemic
has created un-
certainty in eve-
ry aspect of life
and students
particularly have gone
through unprecedented
upheavals in the past few
years. As the pandemic
related restrictions ease
and schools and colleges
reopen, students are ex-
pected to dive right into
the old normal after a lit-
tle over two years of on-
line learning. Now acute
stress has been added to
the situation with multi-
ple universities display-
ing an indecisive atti-
tude regarding the ex-
amination mode and
whether it should be on-
line or offline.
Rajesh Bhatia, an edu-
cationist and founder of
TreeHouse,anonlineand
offline chain of play-
schools, thinks this situ-
ation could have been
avoided and asks, “Why
to put students through
needless stress when we
already have an examina-
tion system that triggers
massive anxiety among
students. I recently read
a newspaper report that
said that we lost 12,582
lives to examination
stress between 2014 and
2020. The current indeci-
siveness of universities
about whether examina-
tions are to be held online
or offline has not helped
at all. The education sys-
tem must become more
responsive to the needs
of students during the
pandemic.
He also thinks parents
and educators need to be
more vigilant during this
time to observe signs of
stress, anxiety and says,
“Weneednewer,kind-
ermethodsof eval-
uation but right
now, let us please
focusonthemen-
tal health of
students and
watch out for
signs of
stress like
panic at-
tacks, sleeplessness, hy-
peractivity
, lack of moti-
vation, aches and pains,
upset stomach, mood
swings and depression.
Counselling and therapy
must be normalised espe-
ciallywhennotallparents
are equipped to provide
urgent solutions for a
mental health crisis.”
He also wants students
to not internalise exami-
nation stress and says,
“Yes, the pressure to excel
is inordinate but please
don’t believe any big or
small failure is perma-
nent. Every day
, we all get
a brand new chance to
learn from our mistakes
and do better. If you feel
you are not ready for an
offline examination, at-
tempt writing exercises
and time yourself. Sleep
andeatontime,addalittle
physical activity to your
routine and learn a few
breathing exercises. And
remembertoalwaysreach
out to a trusted friend or a
family member when you
are feeling too anxious.
You are not alone even
whenyoufeelisolatedand
overwhelmed.”
Bhatia also hopes
schools and universities
will start offline modules
to slowly ease students
back into conventional
modes of learning and
also offer them hybrid op-
tions to choose from. As
he says, “We are now liv-
ing in a world where edu-
cation systems cannot be
rigidandmustbeflexible.
The pandemic has al-
lowed us to change out-
dated methods of teach-
ing and we must adapt to
the times. We cannot just
discuss how broken our
systems are, we must fix
themforthesakeof every
student regardless of
theireconomicandsocial
background.”

I congratulate ‘Team Himanta’ @BJP4Assam karyakartas on this significant win. Piyush Goyal @PiyushGoyal Happy National Panchayati Raj Day to all the countrymen. Our villages have made significant contribution in making the country prosperous. The BJP government under the leadership of Prime Minister @NarendraModi Ji is strengthening the Panchayati Raj system by being committed for the upliftment of the village-poor. TOP TWEETS EMIRATE BUSINESS LEADERS’ VISIT TO KASHMIR IS GOOD FOR UT’S FUTURE rime Minister Nar- endra Modi’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday is of con- siderable signifi- cance as he went there with de- velopmental projects worth Rs 20,000 crore and also because it was his first after the scrapping of Article 370. The government has been trying to bring about substantial improvement in gov- ernance and ease of living. In a smart move the PM took along with him a delegation of top business leaders from the UAE, an important member of the Is- lamic world. They are expected to make investments worth Rs 3000 crore in the infrastructure sector. This could prove to be a game-changer for the BJP which hopes to revive the political pro- cess in the Union territory and also add to Modi’s image. Choosing to celebrate the Na- tional Panchayati Raj Day from Samba bordering Pakistan the PM praised JK where democ- racy has reached the grassroots level. Barring stray cases of terrorist-related killings JK looks poised to turn a new leaf. P here has always been a debate for and against death penalty in India. Those against it argue that it is no deterrence against crime. Gruesome rapes committed after the 2013 gang-rape of a girl in Delhi and a Dalit girl’s rape in Hathras in 2020 prove this group’s argument. On the other hand, Amnesty Inter- national argues that capital punishment violates a con- vict’s human right so it should be done away with. In the face of for and against arguments the Supreme Court ruled in 1983 that the death penalty should be or- dered only in the “rarest of rare” cases. Ever since, there have been fewer cases in which criminals have been sent to the gallows as sen- tencing to life became more common. But Madhya Pradesh seems averse to the policy of “rarest of rare case”. On the contrary, the state govern- ment rewards public prose- cutors on the number of death sentences they win at the level of trial courts. At- torney-General KK Venugo- pal submitted before a three- judge bench of the Supreme Court that the practice should be “nipped in the bud”. The bench is headed by Justice UU Lalit and com- prises Justices S Ravindra Bhat and PS Narasimha. To set things right the bench indicated that it would lay down guidelines for the courts to follow across the country. The guidelines will be applicable to cases involving death sen- tences. The AG agreed with the bench that the system pertaining to the death sen- tence, instead of being in- centive-based, needs to “in- stitutionalised”. An impor- tant change being consid- ered is to provide legal as- sistance to the accused. INCENTIVISING DEATH PENALTY THE MP WAY Amnesty International argues that capital punishment violates a convict’s human right so it should be done away with. In the face of for and against arguments the Supreme Court ruled in 1983 that the death penalty should be ordered only in the “rarest of rare” cases T US AND EUROPE SHOULD ARTICULATE THEIR OBJECTIVES UKRAINIAN VICTORY AND RUSSIAN DISABILITY Ukraine presents a stern test for the resolve of the Free World and its underwriter, the United States. American people are able and up to the task. It is for American leaders to be worthy of the sacrifice and trust of its citizens. Handled right, America, the Free World and Ukraine will come through it stronger and more united. A free and whole Ukraine including all of Crimea and Donbas will be the proof of it merican and European po- litical leaders have demon- strated exceptional unity in opposing the Russian inva- sion of Ukraine. As the igno- minious invasion grinds to- wards a protracted war, the United States and Europe should convey their resolve to stay the course by articu- lating clear objectives for the end of the war. The United States and Eu- rope should plainly state that their tactical goal is to ensure a Ukraine victory. Ukraine has earned the right to define the parameters of victory within its sovereign territory . It should be the United States’ policy to do all in its power, short of direct military con- frontation with Russia, to en- sure Ukraine wins and Rus- sia loses. Russia needs to come out poorer for having unlawfully invaded a peace- ful neighbor. Lest it consoli- date its ill-gotten gains and bide it’s time for another strike – as has been Russia’s way under Putin’s rule. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is not just a regional conflict. It is a frontal attack by a revisionist autocracy on the rules-based free world that enabled over seven dec- ades of unprecedented global peace and prosperity. Rus- sia’s blatant attack on the free world order should be forcefully repulsed to ensure such attacks are not repeated or encouraged. A resolute re- sponse would warn China not to follow in Russia’s foot- steps in attempting to take Taiwan by force. The peace and prosperity of the United States, Eurowwpe and the rest of the free world depends on it. Ambivalence and half measures paved the way to the invasion of Ukraine. Gaz- ing into Putin’s soul, press- ing RESET buttons with Lav- rov and taking Putin’s word over your own intelligence services need be relegated to the dustbin of history as grave follies. Stayingthecoursethrough a protracted war in Ukraine to its eventual victory will be hard. Transatlantic leaders, in respect to their citizens, should be candid about it. It is in America and Europe’s direct national interest to en- sure a Ukraine victory and to preserve the Free World or- der. Failure will incur high costs in blood and treasure both here and now, as well as down the road. Consequent- ly, this endeavor is deserving of sacrifice by free world citizens, including enduring momentary discomfort and high costs. In the near-term, America and Europe should act with greater urgency along three fronts to ensure a Ukrainian victory: strengthening Ukraine’s defensive capabili- ties, buttressing Ukraine’s finances and exacting exten- sive economic costs on Russia to desist its war. Humanitar- ian assistance for over seven million displaced Ukrainians should continue unabated. Ukrainians have proven that with right weapons they are more than a match for the Russian conscripts. America and Europe should augment their supply of defensive weapons – with requisite le- thality – for Ukraine’s forces to take the fight to the Rus- sians within Ukraine’s sover- eign territory. Importantly, America should prioritize building Ukrainian air de- fense capacity with all neces- sary haste. Ukraine cannot be allowed to falter for the lack of appropriate munitions. AmericaandEuropeshould guarantee that the Ukrainian state remains solvent. The country is at war with its economy in shambles. The US and Europe should act through the International MonetaryFundandtheWorld Bank to provide a robust fi- nancial assistance package to Ukraine. The G7 could estab- lishaUkraineReconstruction and Reinvestment Fund with credit guarantees.

WHY PUT STUDENTS THROUGH STRESS? Educationist and entrepreneur Rajesh Bhatia says the education system must become more responsive to the needs of students during the pandemic CITY FIRST he unpredicta- bility of the on- going pandemic has created un- certainty in eve- ry aspect of life and students particularly have gone through unprecedented upheavals in the past few years. As the pandemic related restrictions ease and schools and colleges reopen, students are ex- pected to dive right into the old normal after a lit- tle over two years of on- line learning. Now acute stress has been added to the situation with multi- ple universities display- ing an indecisive atti- tude regarding the ex- amination mode and whether it should be on- line or offline. Rajesh Bhatia, an edu- cationist and founder of TreeHouse,anonlineand offline chain of play- schools, thinks this situ- ation could have been avoided and asks, “Why to put students through needless stress when we already have an examina- tion system that triggers massive anxiety among students. I recently read a newspaper report that said that we lost 12,582 lives to examination stress between 2014 and 2020. The current indeci- siveness of universities about whether examina- tions are to be held online or offline has not helped at all. The education sys- tem must become more responsive to the needs of students during the pandemic. He also thinks parents and educators need to be more vigilant during this time to observe signs of stress, anxiety and says, “Weneednewer,kind- ermethodsof eval- uation but right now, let us please focusonthemen- tal health of students and watch out for signs of stress like panic at- tacks, sleeplessness, hy- peractivity , lack of moti- vation, aches and pains, upset stomach, mood swings and depression. Counselling and therapy must be normalised espe- ciallywhennotallparents are equipped to provide urgent solutions for a mental health crisis.” He also wants students to not internalise exami- nation stress and says, “Yes, the pressure to excel is inordinate but please don’t believe any big or small failure is perma- nent. Every day , we all get a brand new chance to learn from our mistakes and do better. If you feel you are not ready for an offline examination, at- tempt writing exercises and time yourself. Sleep andeatontime,addalittle physical activity to your routine and learn a few breathing exercises. And remembertoalwaysreach out to a trusted friend or a family member when you are feeling too anxious. You are not alone even whenyoufeelisolatedand overwhelmed.” Bhatia also hopes schools and universities will start offline modules to slowly ease students back into conventional modes of learning and also offer them hybrid op- tions to choose from. As he says, “We are now liv- ing in a world where edu- cation systems cannot be rigidandmustbeflexible. The pandemic has al- lowed us to change out- dated methods of teach- ing and we must adapt to the times. We cannot just discuss how broken our systems are, we must fix themforthesakeof every student regardless of theireconomicandsocial background.” T
