RAJENG/2019/77764 l Vol 3 l Issue No. 113 REET ASUCCESS STORY Aditi Nagar he success of any establishment can be measured by the proper manage- ment and handling of major events and challenges that it faces. Sunday brought with it one such challenge before the Ashok Gehlot government, which had to undertake the herculean task of carrying out an examination which saw enrol- ment of over 16.51 lakh individuals! REET-2021, was in many ways, an epitome of governmental will to carry out the examination without the hurdles faced in the past. At a time when Corona pandemic has proved challenging for the gov- ernment, holding a major examina- tion as REET would surely spell trou- ble for the administration but the state officials took on the challenge, ably guided by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Education Minister Go- vind Singh Dotasra. Under Gehlot’s supervision, each and every aspect of the exam was ad- dressed to, in detail. But what was surprising for the candidates was the state government’s promise to take care of even their travel, lodg- ing and food; a major cause of con- cern on which an immense amount of time & energy of candidates is lost. However, this time around, that time was used for exam prepara- tions. While Gehlot’s ‘lieutenant’ Dotasra ran around from pillar to post to ensure every deci- sion taken by the Chief Minister was enforced to the hilt; ‘General’ Gehlot also continuously took feedback of preparations as well as law and order situation and in fact one day before the exam, the General personally took details from officials regarding the arrangements. Perhaps that is why a candidate from Varanasi compared the situa- tion with Uttar Pradesh and stressed that Rajasthan is far better as re- gards keeping candidates in a good frame of mind through extensive arrangements of free travel, lodging and food. In fact the youth went on to say that every state should have a CM like Gehlot and an education minis- ter like Dotasra. There were thou- sands of candidates who took to micro- blogging site Twitter, thanking the Ra- jasthan government and more specifically, CM Gehlot and Edu- cation Minister Do- tasra for all they did to make REET-21, a ma- jor success story! government, which had to undertake government, which had to undertake the herculean task of carrying out the herculean task of carrying out an examination which saw enrol- an examination which saw enrol- ment of over 16.51 lakh individuals! ment of over 16.51 lakh individuals!

TOP TWEETS MORE FEMALE MPS DON’T MAKE ICELAND THE WORLD’S BEST PLACE FOR WOMEN celand has elected Europe’s first female- majority parliament. After Sunday’s counting of votes, fe- male candidates won 33 seats in the 63-seat parliament. No other country in Europe has a female- majority parliament. Rwanda, Cuba, Nicaragua and Mexico are the other countries where women are in majority in their respective parliaments, while in India they continue to struggle for 33 percent seats in the legis- lature without hope. With only 103 MPs in both Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha women remain grossly under-represented. Rated the world’s most gender- equal nation, has equal pay for menandwomen.Notmanywould be aware that it was the world’s first country to have an all-wom- en political party in the mid- eighties and also had the first fe- male president in the world. Dubbed the best place in the world to be a woman, Iceland is one of the most violent societies for women. Incidents of domes- tic violence and sexual abuse have been aptly called the “Nor- dic paradox”. I ne year of the en- actment of three farm laws passed bytheBJPgovern- ment on Septem- ber 17, 2020, went off unno- ticed. The farmers feared that the three laws will eventually lead to the abolition of mini- mumsupportprice(MSP)and leave them vulnerable for the corporations to exploit. The three laws which became con- tentiousaretheFarmers’Pro- duce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act,2020;EssentialCommodi- ties (Amendment) Act, 2020 and Farmers (Empowerment andProtection)Agreementon Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020. The laws were challenged in the Supreme Court and farmersthreatenedtostartan agitation to force the govern- ment to withdraw the laws. Despite several rounds of talks the government refused to either repeal, or amend the laws. Full-fledged protests be- gan from November 25 on Delhi-Haryana border. Attempts to malign the kisan movement failed as the farmers steadfastly kept the protests apolitical, not allow- ing any political leader to ad- dress them. They bore winter chill, heat of the summer and lashing of the rain. Rakesh Tikait of the Kisan Morcha proved true to his words that farmers won’t budge till the laws are taken back. The Bharat Bandh observed on Monday marked a culmina- tionof oneyearof thefarmers’ protests.

FARMERS SHOW THEIR STRENGTH THROUGH BANDH Attempts to malign the kisan movement failed as the farmers steadfastly kept the protests apolitical, not allowing any political leader to address them. They bore winter chill, heat of the summer and lashing of the rain O Promoted by First India News International Pvt. Ltd. t was the last week of Sep- tember of 2021, a hectic three-day schedule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who visits USA to share high- table with the US-president Joe Biden at White House, at- tends the QUAD summit comprising India, Australia, Japan and America, address- es UNGA and meets the top corporate leaders seeking investment for India. Amidst these high-profile diplomatic activities, Modi finds time to contact the French president, Emma- nuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron, wins him back to seek French cooperation in various international issues, especially related to the Indo- Pacific. Thus, he tries to as- suage the French concern following the formation of the new military alliance comprising Australia, UK and USA, AUKUS. It must have been quite sat- isfying for the Mandarins of the South Block that houses two key offices, PMO and Ex- ternal Affairs, in New Delhi, who had made detailed prep- arations during the past sev- eral months for the success of these high-profile interac- tions. Therefore, it is an un- even or unnecessary com- parison of the recent perfor- mance of Modi with his Paki- stani counterpart, Imran Khan, in the UNGA. Khan, a cricketer turned politician, and an Oxford graduate, a proxy civilian face of the Pa- kistani army is known for indulging in false rhetoric and untruths causing much embarrassment to his men- tors at the GHQ in Rawalpin- di. He was asked to deliver his prepared UNGA speech on a video-link, but again he could not impact anyone due to its poor content and wrong information. Meanwhile, during this short period, when Modi was away to meet the world lead- ers, India’s strategic com- mand got its much-awaited Agni-V , inter-continental bal- listic missile (ICBM), a deter- rent, capable of hitting tar- gets beyond five thousand kilometres and beyond with multiple war-heads. The in- duction of the new missile system to the Indian forces could not have been better timed, especially when India joins the concerned world leaders scared of China’s growing influence in the In- do-Pacific region. Amidst these high-level dialogues, Modi talks to the French president, Macron, to reassure him of the on-going Indian cooperation with France and European Union. Since 2018, under Macron, a trilateral cooperation among three countries, Australia, France and India has been introduced, but the coopera- tion suffered a setback fol- lowing the sudden cancella- tion of the diesel submarine deal between France and Australia this month, which was in the final stage of a prolonged five-year negotia- tion. Australia had dumped its ongoing negotiations with France, just a week before the QUAD and had replaced the French offer by a multi- billion USD deal for obtain- ing American nuclear sub- marines. It was a well enacted per- formance of an Indian Prime Minister in decades based on a well prepared text in Hindi. He appeared to be quite confident and natural while explaining the Indian view-point; therefore, it would just be a knavish to compare Modi’s diplomatic offensive with Khan. Apart from triggering off debate by branding the Pakhtoons and Taliban, his speech was based on a doctored video text. He was heard quoting the speech of the former US President Ronald Reagan, who according to him had compared the Afghan Tali- ban with the founders of the USA. In fact, Reagan was mentioning the Nicaraguan fighters, who had struggled against Marxists. It may also be noted that during Rea- gan’s tenure, the Taliban did not exist. Reagan was hon- ouring Abdul Haq Haqqua- ni, a Mujahideen trained in Pakistan, for fighting against the USSR’s invasion in Afghanistan. As expected, there was much anguish in Pakistan regarding the worldwide em- barrassment caused by Khan’s speech. While Khan was seeking financial assis- tance for the Taliban govern- ment, the reports were pour- ing in that under unverified charges four accused were hanged publicly in Afghani- stan. An angry Pakistani woman journalist, Tamkinet Kareem and the founder of the Naya Daur digital chan- nel, Reza Rumi, were aghast by Khan’s use of doctored videos and information in his speech before the UNGA. During the visit, apart from meeting Biden, Modi has also successfully estab- lished close ties with the world leaders. He presented US Vice President Kamala Harris with a government notification about her grand- father, PV Gopalan, who was a respected civil servant in India. It was framed in a beautiful wooden frame. He gifted the Australian Prime Minister, Morrison Scott, a handcrafted ‘meenakari’- a popular design of India, in pink coloured silver ship and the Japanese Prime Minister, Yoshihide Suga, a beautiful Buddha idol in sandalwood.

Ziyauddin Jaipur: With Punjab having undergone a change of CM and Chhattisgarh Congress also reeling under a similar situation, the next obvious question that comes to mind is will Rajasthan also meet a similar fate? While there may be a horde of speculators claiming that Ra- jasthan would also fol- low suit, but Rajasthan Revenue Minister, and a close confidante of Rahul Gandhi—Harish Choudhary—who has recently returned to state after carrying out the role of observer in Punjab political shuf- fle claimed that Gehlot enjoys support of ma- jority MLAs in the state. “Situation between Rajasthan and Punjab is completely differ- ent. All the MLAs in Punjab were against Captain Amarinder Singh and wanted leadership change. Whereas in Rajasthan, more than 100 MLAs are in complete sup- port of CM Ashok Ge- hlot,” he said.

Cyclone Gulab puts Mumbai, Hyderabad on orange alert New Delhi: Farmers blocked major high- ways and squatted on railway tracks in many states, including Punjab, Haryana and Delhi, during the Bharat bandh called by farmers’ bodies on Monday to protest against the new agri laws. The nationwide strike began at 6 am and ended at 4 pm. Commercial estab- lishments remained shut and the movement of public transport was affected in many places as major high- ways and railway tracks were blocked by the protesters. The effect of the bandh was felt the most around Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, the cen- tre of the farm protests, and also in large pock- ets of Kerala, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Ben- gal and Odisha. RAIL OPERATIONS LARGELY AFFECTED Rail operations in Delhi, Ambala and Firozepur divisions were impacted with people sitting on tracks. More than 20 railway tracks in Delhi were blocked by pro- testing farmers. Over 20 trains in the Ambala and Firozepur were affected. ‘MAKING EFFORTS TO REMOVE KISAN BLOCKADES’ Amid continued blockade of key roads connecting Delhi to NCR regions by farmers protesting against farm laws, the Haryana Government has told the Supreme Court that it’s making “sincere” efforts to remove the blockade for re- sumption of free flow of traffic. “Sincere efforts are being made to remove the blockade from inter-state roads and National Highways and to resume free flow of traffic on those roads for the convenience of the general public by way of persuading the farmer organisations to cooperate,” the Haryana government said in an affidavit filed in SC.

INDIA JAIPUR | TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 06 www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia ‘Not footballs in game of power’: SC slams Centre on NEET changes New Delhi: The Su- preme Court on Mon- day came down heavily on the Centre for an- nouncing last-minute changes to the pattern of the National Eligi- bility cum Entrance Test Post-Graduate Su- per Specialty (NEET SS) exam 2021. It has asked the gov- ernment to hold meet- ings of the concerned authorities and submit a response to a plea against the tweaks on October 4. The plea by 41 post- graduate doctors had challenged the abrupt changes contending that this was done to favour general medi- cine candidates. In 2018, NEET SS involved 40 per cent of the ques- tions from general medicine and 60 per cent from super speci- ality. This time, how- ever, all questions are to be from general med- icine. The plea stated that dates of NEET-SS 2021 were announced on July 23, 2021, but the change in the pattern was made public more than a month later on August 31 “when only two months remained before the NEET-SS 2021 exams, to be held on the 13th and 14th of November 2021”. According to the 41 doctors plea, submitted by their advocate Jave- dur Rahman, aspirants have been preparing for the older pattern for the past three years. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and BV Nagarathna ques- tioned government’s tearing hurry to imple- ment the change in the exam pattern. “Don’t treat these young doctors as foot- balls in the game of power...We can’t put these doctors at the mercy of insensitive bureaucrats...Put your house in order...Just be- cause somebody has the power, you can’t yield the power in any manner,” Justice Chan- drachud said. The court asked what the National Medical Commission was doing and reminded the gov- ernment that the lives of doctors were in- volved in the issue. “This is so important for their careers. Now you cannot introduce changes last minute... These young doctors might be put at ruse due to last-minute changes,” Justice Na- garathna said. The court said that students begin prepar- ing for super speciality courses “months and months” in advance and asked why the changes cannot be in- troduced from the fol- lowing year and not right away . “Please deal with young doctors with sen- sitivity,” Justice Chan- drachud said. —Agencies This is so important for their careers. Now you cannot introduce changes last minute...These young doctors might be put at ruse due to last-minute changes. —Justice BV Nagarathna What will come out of the investigation in Pegasus cases? Sharat K Verma New Delhi: The Pegasus espionage case seems to be a ‘concoct- ed’ nine-day-long affair over which the entire Monsoon session of Parliamentwasdisrupt- ed. The Opposition con- tinued to demand a dis- cussion in the House on Pegasus case and a joint parliamentary panel to probe the matter, but government did not agree. The matter later reached Su- preme Court. Several journal- ists and people associated with publication filed petitions in SC. At the very beginning of the hearing on this petition, government said it would constitute a panel of technical ex- perts, which would ex- amine it and report to SC. The government gave a one-page affidavit and said that this is not a subject on which there should be a public dis- cussion in SC. Under the guise of national security, government kept postponing the is- sue of giving a detailed affidavit on the matter before SC. On this, the court also expressed displeasure and said it does not want any information related to national secu- rity but the government should give a detailed affidavit. When the govern- ment refused, SC said it would decide on it. Days after reserving the ver- dict, court informed counsel for one of the petitioners that it would constitute a committee of experts to inves- tigate the matter and report to Supreme Court. This is what even the government had been saying since day one. The only difference is that now this commit- tee will be formed under the Supreme Court. But this alone does not ensure that the com- mittee will be able to conduct an objective in- quiry. After all, the more access the govern- ment gives to the com- mittee, the more it will be able to probe. Anita Hada New Delhi: The political heat in West Bengal is not go- ing to cool down anytime soon. Just on September 17, a lead article was published in TMC’s mouthpiece ‘Jago Bangla’ with the headline, ‘Rahul Gandhi Failed to Suc- ceed: Mamta Banerjee is the Only Alternative Face’. This has given rise to con- troversy and has also raised questions on the unity of Op- position parties in India. Two months ago, West Ben- gal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had visited the na- tional capital for the first time after winning the as- sembly elections. During the course of her five day visit, she met important leaders of Opposition parties including Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi and senior leader Rahul Gandhi. Since then, speculations were be- ing made that a ‘United Op- position Front’ is being pre- pared against BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and Mamata has taken over the helm. Mamata’smovesfuelled these speculations and many thought that she wanted to pro- ject herself as the prime ministerial candidate in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. But eve- ry time her role in na- tional poli- tics is t a l k e d about, Mamata denies that she has the aspiration to be- come PM. Mamata had said during her visit to Delhi, “I have a beautiful house in Kolkata and I want to stay there. I don’t want to be a leader but a cadre.” However, two months after Didi’s statement, TMC leader in Lok Sabha Sudip Bando- padhyay told party workers in north Kolkata in a private meeting, “I have been watch- ing Rahul Gandhi for a long time and he has not devel- oped himself as an alterna- tive to Modi. The country wants Mamata, so we will campaign with Didi at the Centre.” He had also said TMC is not advocating an al- liance without the Congress in any way . He had said, “We will talk to all the Opposition parties and before starting the election campaign, we will present Mamata as an alternative.” On August 20, Mamata also participated in the virtual meeting of 19 Opposition par- ties which was organised by Sonia Gandhi. There she in- sisted that even those parties that did not have an alliance with the Congress should be invited to Opposition block so that everyone unites against the saffron party . During the 2019 general elections, Mamata was one of those leaders who first came forward and formulat- ed the strategy of a united opposition. When former Un- ion Minister and BJP MP from Asansol Babul Supriyo went to TMC, senior party leader and three-time MP Kalyan Banerjee said, “The picture has be- come very clear. In the 2024 LS polls, there will be only one face in front of Modi across India; that of Mamata. These state- ments were not just personal. TMC is trying hard to put Mamata on the national stage in a planned manner. And the instruc- tions to make such state- ments come only from the top leadership of the party . Last Wednesday Time Magazine released its annual list of ‘100 Most Influential People of 2021’. Only two peo- ple from India are included in this list ie PM Modi and Mamata Banerjee. TMC lead- ers are very excited by this campaign and are calling Didi the only credible face in front of Modi. IS TMC UNDERMINING EFFORTS OF OPPOSITION UNITY AGAINST BJP? MAMATA ALWAYS DENIES THIS, BUT TMC IS CONSTANTLY PITCHING HER AS PM FACE AGAINST NARENDRA MODI FOR 2024 GENERAL ELECTIONS WHAT IS THIS SYNERGY BETWEEN CONGRESS AND MAMATA? T here has been an undeclared rapprochement between Mamata Banerjee’s party TMC and the Indian National Congress headed by Sonia Gandhi. Mamata is contesting the by-election from Bhabanipur assembly seat, so Con- gress has not fielded a candidate there. The candidate of Congress’ ally CPM is contesting but the party has also refused to go for his campaign. Mamata’s election strategist Prashant Kishor is ac- tively involved in Congress politics these days and he is playing the role of bringing both the parties closer. On one hand this politics is happening and on the other hand Mamata is poaching Congress leaders one after the other. Along with the BJP, she is also getting the Congress leaders to switch sides. Moinukal Haque, a big leader of the Congress and a five-time MLA, left the party to join TMC. Earlier last month, former All India Mahila Congress President Sushmita Deb too joined TMC. Even Abhijit Mukherjee, son of former Presi- dent late Pranab Mukherjee and two-time Congress Lok Sabha MP, also joined Trinamool. When Mamata was against Congress, she had got Congress MP Mausam Noor included in her party. Just think, what is the plight of the Congress that its ally is breaking its party and the grand-old-party is not able to stop it from happening. Rahul Gandhi We will talk to all the Opposition parties and before starting the election campaign, we will present Mamata as an alternative. The picture has become very clear. In the 2024 LS polls, there will be only one face in front of Narendra Modi across India; that of Mamata Banerjee. —TMC leaders on Mamata Banarjee as PM face Mamata Banerjee Rakesh Ranjan New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Si- tharaman isn’t prone to exaggeratedexpressions. Indeed her hallmark has been understatements. Go no further. Just look at her speech at the 74th Annual General Meeting of Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) in Mumbai. “Get out of the socialist-era mindset, you have to be professional in every way,” she said. It was possibly the understatement of the Century, wasn’t it? The real expression for what she calls the socialist era is possibly the klep- tocratic or thievocratic era, whose impact the entire banking system is still trying to absorb. If one tot up the entire defaulted amount since the Independence, one could figure out how the thievocratic politi- cal elite brought the grinding poverty to the doorstep of 90% of the population. And as banks try to limp back to steady treading, they may do well to heed to the FM’s advice on specialised banking where the op- portunityforgrowthand profit is unlimited. In this context, she pointed out that the NDA admin- istration was targeting a $2trillion export income for 2030. This could be achieved only if the banks invest in acquir- ing specialist knowl- edge for understanding thedynamicsof various economic segments and make informed invest- ments in economic ac- celerators. Of the $2tril- lion exports targeted for 2030, $1 trillion will ac- crue from merchandise and $1 trillion from ser- vices exports. “This target cannot be achieved unless banks are going to be nimble, with a sound understanding of vari- ous businesses and sec- tors,” she said. She underlined the need for having four or five banks of the size of SBIs. This was necessi- tated, according to her, in view of the steady pace of sectoral and fi- nancial reforms being planned and executed to provide a critical thrust to economy before it can take off. “I wish IBA rises to this occasion and provides India the best of financial servic- es,” she added. Banks need to do a lot to provide customer sat- isfaction, she said. Be- sides being inclusive in the sense that it should cover even the remotest panchayatslinkedbyop- tical fiber cables, she stressed the need for en- hancing the customer experienceforportfolios and offerings 24x7. “The communication world is alotmoreagile,24/7;you need to be real-time”. She exhorted bankers to put flesh and blood in the UPI system. “In the payment world today , In- dian UPI has made a very big impression. A RuPay card which was not as glamorous as a foreign card is now ac- cepted in so many differ- ent parts of the world,” she added. Further digitization of thebankingsystemin remoteruralareaswould accelerateUPI’spopular- ity and cut the cost in- volved in physical bank- ing, she pointed out. Finally ,shesaidthatif the Account Aggregator Framework is put to use well, then there won’t be any need for specialized credit outreach. An Account Aggrega- tor (AA) is a type of RBI regulated entity that helps an individual se- curely and digitally ac- cess and share informa- tion from one financial institution they have an account with to any other regulated finan- cial institution. The data cannot be shared without the consent of the individual. FM MAKES UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY! Nirmala Sitharaman

A leader is solely responsible for his actions and their consequences; so must be aware of this! —Jagdeesh Chandra, CEO Editor-in-Chief, First India JAIPUR | TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia 08 2NDFRONT POSTAL REG NO. JPC/010/2019-21 First India Bureau Jaipur: In the compul- sory registration of marriages, the state government on Monday clarified its stance. Ac- cording to the judgment passed by the Supreme Court in the year 2006 in the case of Seema Kumar vs Ashwini Ku- mar, registration of every marriage in the country is mandatory. The registration of marriage does not in any way, give validity to the marriage nor is it a hindrance in the court to declare the child marriage void. It re- mains available as a le- gal document. This pro- tects the care of chil- dren and their legal rights. All marriages are being registered in the state since 2006 as per the order of SC. This amendment bill 2021 has also been passed to facilitate the process of registration of all marriages in compliance with the or- der of SC. The new Bill does not in any way dilute the stringent provisions of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006. State govt issues clarification again COMPULSORY REGISTRATION OF CHILD MARRIAGES THE AMENDMENT MADE IN ACT All is well in Raj! Similarly, a few days back, while expressing his view point to party High Command on Ra- jasthan, AICC General Secretary In-charge of Rajasthan Ajay Maken had also categorically conveyed that out of 115 MLAs whom he met, 112 favoured Gehlot’s lead- ership. However, Ge- hlot’s cabinet can un- dergo an expansion in- October, which means that all is well with the leadershipinRajasthan. FROM PG 1 Maken’s state tour called off AICC General Secre- tary In-charge Ajay Maken has fallen ill and therefore his two- day tour to Rajasthan, which was scheduled for September 28-29, has been called off for the time being. Rajendra Chhabra Jaipur: The job of Hu- man Resource Manage- ment of the Department of Personnel (DoP) is extremely exhausting and endless, whether it pertains to the Indian Services or State Servic- es. Let us focus on the IAS for now. Transfer lists are is- sued at a rapid rate dur- ing which, attempts are made to ensure that ap- pointments are done on vacant posts. Only last week, the DoP released a list of 25 IAS but despite this, the situation is the same as before as there are several posts that are lying vacant. As of today , there are half adozenpostsof Sec- retary or HOD, lying va- cant and two more are abouttobevacated.After Siddharth Mahajan’s transfer, the post of Sec- retary , Medical and Health is lying vacant. Roli Singh will continue to stay in the Centre as Additional Secretary and therefore, handing her the reins of GAD, as denoted in the previous transfer list, has become defunct and this means that a new posting in GAD is also needed. It does not need to be said that neither will Gayatri Rathore be able to handle the additional charge of GAD nor will Vaibhav Galriya be able to handle the additional charge of Medical and Health since both the of- ficials already have their hands full with their ex- tremely crucial assign- ments in their full-time departments. Four posts of HOD, in Labour,IT,CivilAviation and Fisheries are al- ready lying vacant. Virendra Singh held reinsof twodepartments visITandCivilAviation, and now that he has left for his parent cadre - Ma- harashtra - these two posts are lying unoccu- pied. The manner in which the ACB is gaining mo- mentum in its cases, it appears that chairs of LabourSecretaryNeeraj KPawanandSkillDevel- opment MD Pradeep Ga- wande will also be soon vacated. In that condi- tion, new appointments will have to be made on these two posts too. Therefore, the search of 8 IAS for these eight posts, an almost impos- sibletask,hasonceagain fallen on DoP and the real problem is a dearth of senior officials. With Naveen Mahajan and Manju Rajpal being sent toAjmer,thereisalready two babus less in the secretary-level officers in the Secretariat. DoP is also facing yet another problem:theofficersthat are left are not good enough or do not ‘fit’ for the assignments. What- ever responsibilities are giventothem,theyfailto carrythemoutorgetem- broiled in controversies. Such officers have been transferred 3-4 times in this current es- tablishment and these officersareamajorhead- ache for the DoP where- as, there are some offic- ers that have been kept on the sidelines by the StateGovernmentdueto various reasons. It now remains to be seen as to when and who DoP positions on these important posts and the bureaucracy is waiting for postings of Secretary Medical and Health, GAD and IT Commis- sioner. DoP’s major problem: Vacant crucial positions, no ‘worthy’ babus to fill them! Jaipur: In a move to provide relief to the do- mestic and agricultural consumers, the electric- ity distribution compa- nies have implemented the amnesty scheme. Under it, 100% rebate in penalty will be given to agri and 50% to domes- tic consumers on one- time payment of out- standing principal amount on March 31, 2021. —FIB Discom amnesty scheme a relief for consumers PSKS drive: LSG releases norms for leases in walled city Abhishek Srivastava Jaipur: The State Gov- ernment has clarified the definition of the old settlement which is set to become a game- changer in Prashasan Shehron ke Sang cam- paign, which is going to be launched from Octo- ber 2. The Local Self Gov- ernance Department has issued a circular to define the old settle- ment. It was mentioned which type of settle- ment will be considered as an old settlement and will be issued leases during the campaign. Walled city area, city survey area, unculti- vated wasteland having population, land con- verted from agricultur- al use in the year 1981 etc would be considered in the purview of old settlement. The department has also issued another let- ter with special instruc- tions regarding the walled city of Jaipur. According to the or- der released, the lease will not be given on ei- ther side (5 meters) of the wall. The lease will not be issued for a 5 me- ter area on both sides of the wall. Shanti Dhariwal PSKS, A BLESSING NABARD SHOULD HELP PROVIDE IMPETUS TO CO-OPERATIVES: CM First India Bureau Jaipur: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has called for more co-operation from NABARD in giv- ing impetus to the co- operative movement and strengthening co- operative institutions in the state.

During this, Gehlot also urged NABARD to increase the loan tar- gets given for the devel- opment of infrastruc- ture for the state from Rs. 1800 crores per an- num to Rs 10,000 crore per annum. “This will help the state govern- ment in better imple- mentation of schemes related to roads, agri- culture, animal hus- bandry and rural devel- opment,” he said. NABARD Chairman Dr GR Chintala called upon CM Ashok Gehlot at CMR on Monday. I am happy that the Central Government has also started the work of making Digital Health ID on the lines of Rajasthan.

He also launched various schemes, programs and other activities of tour- ism development of the state on this occasion. CM said that Ra- jasthan is emerging as a wedding and event des- tination across the world due to good roads, better rail and air net- work, better law and order conditions and adequate availability of electricity and water. “There is immense potential for develop- ment of tourism and state will leave no stone unturned in promoting this sector,” he said. Raj should become nation’s top state in tourism: Gehlot Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is also planning to enter the field in the Prashasan Shehro Ke Sang and Prashsan Gaon Ke Sang campaigns, which is going to start from October 2. The Gehlot admin- istration will conduct a surprise inspection of the camps being organised in the villages while CM will continuously monitor this campaign.

- 13. Biker, Traveller, and Automotive Journalist, fond of doing at least a 1,000 km roadtrip on my bike every month which I’ve named - Akira, meaning graceful strength. For me, travel is more of exploration and observation that makes you richer in life in the real sense. Travelling teaches you a lot, makes you find yourself, and broadens your perspective about life. Overall, it makes you a more well-rounded and more complete human being. As for Covid months, they taught me the importance of life. As of Covid, it has made me a more responsible person in terms of travel. The focus on personal hygiene, taking care of not lit- tering anywhere, and following all the necessary Covid protocols has increased significantly. My biggest takeaway from travel is - it takes very little to be happy. It’s our experiences and not materialistic things that ensure inner happiness. —PRADEEP SHAH I work as an advertising professional in an agency in Gurgaon. Being in the creative field , my work my friends’ circle was such that I was often out of town, often travelling. That’s how I took to travel. It started from weekend trips out of university and today I’ve shifted my base permanently in the mountains. Travelling is about the sheer sense of freedom. Being able to see the things you once read about, experience the world in first person is what really kept me travelling. As for post covid travel, people are turning to long-stay vaca- tions workations. I, for instance, spent the last one year (as soon the norms allowed) travelling to working from several locations, from Himachal to Arunachal. The one thing travel has taught me is that dif- ferent people think different. —ADITYARAJ SINGH 10 ETC JAIPUR | TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia HAR DIL BANJARA! ello, my uncurable trav- el buffs! So, what was it for you this year, the popular choice, Goa or the luxury popular choice, Maldives? Just kidding! I know Covid was public enemy number one this year but, what we found our ways in staycations and the mountains. Well, the heart wants what it wants! For me, I was inside my cocoon, swiping through the marvellous reels and posts of people galli- vanting through the hills or chilling on the beach. But, what really got me going were the sto- ries of these Banjaras, the peo- ple they met, changes in travel post Covid and what they’ve learnt from their travels. So, I decided to share some of them with you as we celebrated World Tourism Day on Septem- ber 27.

City First, indulges in vivid stories of avid travellers, as we celebrate wanderlust on World Tourism Day on September 27! POORVI SINGHAL cityfirst@firstindia.co.in H Whatever my bike sees, I see. I am a Cinematographer and I enjoy travelling to the interiors of the most rustic lands on my bike – the Himalayan. I love motorcycle adventures and recently, I went on a road trip from the West Coast of the country - Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala through Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, and UP. I experienced the beauty of the Eastern Ghats in Andhra, crossing the islands of Chillika For me, travelling is about meeting local people and uncovering their stories. Be- ing locked down gave me the time to read, reflect, unwind and learn new skills but, my travel plans got postponed. The one thing I’ve learnt from my travel is that the people are the same everywhere. Hi, myself Aarti Vijay, a freelance wedding photogra- pher. I always dream about it, imagine about it and aim about it to travel the world with my camera. Travel is like exploring my soul, it gives me motivation to live this life. COVID highly impacted travel as many remote places are still closed for travellers because they don’t have enough resources to fight with COVID and it is impacting their livelihood because tourism was their only way of earning. And COVID made us all a responsible travelers also. Hope this situation will get well soon. What I learn as a traveller is obviously that we should travel with responsibility. If you are visiting a place and exploring it, just keep it as it is don’t ruin the beauty of that place with plastics and trashes. —AARTI VIJAY —ABHISHEK BHAR- GAVA Travelling for me expands my horizon, Its living and dying everyday at the same time. It gives me rush meeting new people and knowing their stories. Every person has a different perspective about life and living, and there’s nothing more beautiful than being a small part of someone’s life. I am Vanika, and I travel for stories. Travel for me is a journey to know and understand a little more about myself everyday. It’s about feeling free in every moment, and being who I am unapologetically. Covid has made things a little more private, and valueable. When I couldn’t travel in covid, I realised how life is a little unpredictable. This resulted in this feeling of taking note of each and every moment. —VANIKA SANGTANI

A: ‘Ishtara’ is an amalgamation of the names of my great-grand- father and great-grandmother- and that is what my brand is all about, the abiding influence of legacy in the contemporary world. Q: What is your vision for Ishtara? A: I envision Ishtara as a high- end, luxury jewellery brand, which with its minimalist and el- egant designs, appeals to the tastes of our times. Q: How did Ishtara come into be- ing? A: My ancestors had a very hum- ble beginning in this field, we weren’t doyens of the world of jewellry. But since then, we’ve come a long way in establishing ourselves across the globe with of- fices in Belgium, Taiwan, Thai- land and Hong Kong. A foray into the world of luxury jewel- lery is a first in our family. Q: So you have a base across countries already, why Jaipur then? A: The people of Jaipur, since the city’s inception, have al- ways been great connoisseurs of jewellery. I per- sonally feel that the love that I have for this fine craft has a lot to do with the fact that my roots are in t h e P i n k City. Q: What inspires you as a creator of luxury jewellery pieces? A: Jewellery, for me, is a mode of self-expression. It translates the wearer’s personality into some- thing tangible and externally per- ceptible. So I’m inspired by the very thought that I can give peo- ple the opportunity to express their unique selves through my brand. Q: What kind of jewellery will Ishtara provide? A: Ishtara will be a one of it’s kind brand curating timeless pieces that speak of glamour and elegance. Q: So does that imply that your jewellery is meant for special oc- casions? A: Not at all. In fact, we’ll be launching a wide-range of luxury jewellery- ranging from chic and light-weight everyday pieces to stylish and dazzling special occa- sion-wear. Q: What makes you different from other luxury jewellery brands in Jaipur? A: Most luxury jewellery brands based in Jaipur have begun here, and then expanded overseas. Isht- ara’s journey has been the other way round. And this is what makes us unique- our capacity to bring a global style to the other- wise largely traditional jewellery scene of Jaipur. Q: Your motto talks of ‘relation with trust’. What do we infer from that? A : More often than not, jewel- lery pieces end up becoming heirlooms that are passed from one generation to an- other, reflecting a family’s heritage. For us at Ishtara, a customer’s trust is the most important brand asset because we be- lieve in a similar, fam- ily-like value-driven relationship of mu- tual trust. Q: Finally, why choose Ishtara? A: Because your quest for luxury ends here. ISHTARA JEWELS ‘The Daniels, Oriental Kitchen’ Sarvesh Bhandari Chef Daniel Samay Jain
