MEANWHILE…
A NEW REPORT SAYS INDIA IS ON TOP RANK
IN WORLD ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RACE
The Delhi
High Court
on Monday
dismissed a petition that
had sought directions
to disqualify Prime
Minister Narendra Modi
from contesting elec-
tions for six years for
allegedly seeking votes
in the name of deities,
saying the plea was
“thoroughly miscon-
ceived”. Justice Sachin
Datta said the plea was
“devoid of any merits”.
Petitioner Anand S
Jondhale, a lawyer, had
urged the court to take
action against Modi for
allegedly seeking votes
in the name of gods
and places of worship,
saying this amounted to
violating the model code
of conduct and commit-
ting an offence under
the Indian Penal Code
and Representation of
the People Act.
The intelligent data infrastructure company
NetApp recently released report on cloud
complexity suggests a clear division between
countries at the forefront and those behind on the

Following the instruc-
tions of the Union Mines
Ministry, the auction pro-
cess for exploration li-
censes of 3 blocks of rare
earth elements and pot-
ash in the state has been
cancelled.After the news
was broadcast on First
India News and pub-
lished in First India, the
Mines Dept also issued a
clarification on Monday.
Now, active participation
of the private sector will
also be increased to speed
up the exploration work
of strategic and critical
minerals. Necessary pro-
visions in this regard are
likely to be made soon by
the Ministry of Mines,
Govt of India. Keeping
this in mind, after the
new provisions, a fresh
e-auction process will be
started for exploration
licenses of two REE and
one potash block of state.
On March 6, in just 5
days of preparation, the
Mines Dept had issued a
request for exploration
license for two blocks of
rare earth elements and
one block of potash. Re-
jecting this, the Union
Mines Ministry has di-
rected the State Mines
Dept to cancel the process
and restart auction pro-
cess after new provisions
to be issued soon by the
Centre.With this, govern-
ment as well as private
sector players will come
forward in the exploration
work of such minerals
and work will speed up.

CHASING A CHIMERA
ON USE OF PLASTIC
round the world, there’s a concerted push to
forge an agreement aimed at eradicating plas-
tic due to its detrimental impact on both hu-
man health and the environment. However, achieving
unanimity seems improbable given the conflicting
interests of oil and gas-producing nations. Moreover,
the continued reliance on fossil fuels by certain coun-
tries and the vested interests of the chemical industry
pose significant obstacles to reaching a consensus.
Negotiations are underway in Ottawa to arrive at
a treaty on plastic waste. India is among the 175
countries involved in the negotiations.Aglobal trea-
ty, though unlikely,
could bring about
speedy reduction in
plastic production
and to prevent the re-
lease of micro and
macro plastic in the
environment.
Problems related to
plastic are not con-
fined to one country
alone. It is also as det-
rimental for marine
and aquatic life as it is
for earth and air. Ac-
cording to the UN
Environment Pro-
gramme, an equiva-
lent of 2000 garbage
trucks laden with
plastic dumped their
content in oceans everyday and 19-23 million tonnes
of plastic waste pollutes seas, rivers and other water
bodies. Its presence in humans and in the bodies of
fish, animals and birds cannot be ignored.
The hazards plastic poses are numerous. Along
with environmental issues like climate change, eco-
system degradation it poses health, social and eco-
nomic risks. While thrashing out the issues to make
the earth free of plastic as far as possible, the nego-
tiators will have to bear in mind that millions of
families are dependent on the plastic industry. Yet, a
way to reduce plastic waste has to be found.

COACHING
DYNAMICS
Coaching is a goal-orient-
ed and a well-defined ap-
proach wherein, a coach-
works with a group or an
individual to assist them
achieve laid out goals.
Responsibility of a Coach
is to help the subjects
realise their strengths and
weaknesses, set targets or
objectives and then evolve
strategies to improve per-
formance. More often than
not coaching is skill based.
A Coach need not neces-
sarily be from the same
industry as the individuals
being coached. Coach-
ing periods are often of
shorter-terms and better
organised compared to
mentoring relationships.
MENTORINGCOACHING
THEDYNAMICTWINS
n the contin-
uously pro-
g r e s s i n g
global busi-
ness envi-
ronment, it is of vital im-
portance to develop the
next generation of skilled
and thoughtful leaders who
can guide and direct or-
ganizations to achieve de-
sired results. This meticu-
lous and relentless process
of tilling and preparing fu-
ture leaders is basically a
long-term investment re-
quiring a well-structured
strategic approach.
In my long and arduous
career as a corporate train-
er, I have observed that
coaching and Mentorship
are two flavourful tools
that play a pivotal role in
assisting industries achieve
their objectives. Both these
perspectives extend a win-
dow of opportunity to indi-
viduals to learn from sen-
iors in their field of inter-
est, hone essential leader-
ship skills and gain con-
stant guidance. It is by
nurturing the prospective
emerging talent that busi-
ness houses ensure a suc-
cession ladder of leader-
ship to keep them relevant
in the times to follow.
I have perceived that
even senior leaders often
use coaching and mentor-
ing interchangeably,
though they are heteroge-
nous in character. While
both the terms are invalu-
able in their own way, they
plate up to dissimilar pur-
poses. Normally, Mentor-
ing involves an experi-
enced person called mentor
from the same industry,
sharing his/her knowledge,
skills and experience with
a less experienced person
called mentee. Mentors are
trusted advisers and expe-
rienced person who guides
and supports the journey of
the mentee based upon
how he could tide over
similar challenges in his
own life and therefore, it is
more behavioural and cus-
tomised. Process of men-
toring tends to be on a
longer-term or at times life
long and remains more per-
sonalised than coaching.
On the other hand,
coaching is a goal-oriented
and a well-defined ap-
proach wherein, a coach
works with a group or an
individual to assist them
achieve laid out goals. Re-
sponsibility of a Coach is
to help the subjects realise
their strengths and weak-
nesses, set targets or objec-
tives and then evolve strat-
egies to improve perfor-
mance. More often than
not coaching is skill based.
A Coach need not neces-
sarily be from the same
industry as the individuals
being coached. Coaching
periods are often of short-
er-terms and better organ-
ised compared to mentor-
ing relationships.
So, in other words, if
mentoring is an informal
alliance aimed to build a
two-way, mutually benefi-
cial relationship for long-
term career movement,
Coaching can be defined
as a partnership with a
group of people/ team or
an individual for carving
out a creative process to
influence and persuade
them to optimise their per-
sonal and or professional
potential.
While Mentoring is a
self-directed activity
where mentee has a choice
to select a mentor and
where the approach de-
pends on a self-matching
procedure for a long-term
association, Coaching is
structured for shorter peri-
ods on a more frequent ses-
sions to work on a nar-
rower agenda and oriented
toward achieving expected
results.
Let me give examples
from great epic Mahabhar-
ta. Both the warring fac-
tions, the Pandavas and
Kauravas had the same
coach in Guru Dronacharya
whose content and style of
coaching was identical for
both. Yet, each one of them
acquired expertise of vary-
ing standards on different
weapon skills dependent on
each one’s personal liking
and interest. The devotion
and dedication of each one
also differed which led to
different results. But while
Arjuna selected Krishna as
his mentor who led him to
the path of righteousness,
the mentor chosen by
Duryodhana was crafty,
dishonest, cheat and a ma-
nipulator Shakuni. And we
all are aware of the out-
come of the battlefield at
Kurukshetra.
My next example is
from the spirited world of
sports where peer mentor-
ing and support measures
up to a pivotal role in shap-
ing the future of newer and
younger personalities.
Months before Indian team
triumphed in T-20 world
cup, they faced humiliat-
ing ouster in ODI cup by
losing to minnows Bangla-
desh and Sri Lanka at the
group stage itself in West
Indies in 2007. The coach
Greg Chappel turned out to
be a coach who managed
to brush the careers of
many acclaimed stalwarts
of Indian team like Kaif,
Irfan, Harbhajan and Sau-
rav Ganguly under the car-
pet. Yet, a few who chose
a correct mentor (Sachin)
like Sahwag managed to
sail through.
Owing to the examples
cited above, as a corporate
trainer I strictly advice my
clients that it is essential
and important to select a
mentor who has the capa-
bilities to impact the char-
acter of the mentee.
Though, selecting a coach
is also very important, but
then it is only for a specific
art, sports or business trait.
While a wrong choice of
coach may only result into
a failure in just an area, loss
of time, money, opportu-
nity or substandard perfor-
mance, wrong choice of
mentor may just be disas-
trous for your entire life.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
While Mentoring is a self-directed activity where
mentee has a choice to select a mentor and where
the approach depends on a self-matching
procedure for a long-term association, Coaching is
structured for shorter periods on a more frequent
sessions to work on a narrower agenda and
oriented toward achieving expected results

INDI ALLIANCE WANTS TO GIVE PM'S POST TO
EACH LEADER FOR ONE YEAR: PM MODI
Solapur: PM Narendra Modi said the opposition “INDI
alliance” wants to give the PM’s post to its leaders
for a year each, and asked the people if they support
such an idea. “There is a great war going on about who will
be the leader of the INDI alliance. Can you hand over such a
big country to someone whose face is not known,” Modi said
claimed that if the INDI alliance comes to power, it will work
with the “one year, one PM” formula during its five-year term.
“These people have been dividing the country to grab power.
Now a new formula has been brought in, that of five prime
ministers in five years. One PM every year,” he said. “While
you have seen each and every aspect of Modi in the last 10
years, there is war on who will be the leader of INDI alliance,”
he said. Modi said that in the last 10 years, his government
has put emphasis on “true” social justice. Modi said the
Congress, despite its “tainted background”, is dreaming of
snatching power in the country unaware that the INDI alliance
is already vanquished in the first 2 phases of LS elections.

now with the BJP.
“In Karnataka, Con-
gress has started a cam-
paign to change the Con-
stitution and to snatch
away the rights of SC/ST
and OBCs. Our Constitu-
tion does not accept reli-
gion-based reservation.
But the Karnataka gov-
ernment has given part of
OBC reservation to Mus-
lims,” Modi said.
Addressing a mega

trict headquarters town,
he said, “they (Congress)
will not settle with this.
They had earlier too in

about coming out with a
law to provide religion-

foreign policy “matters
to everyone in a glo-

spotlighted India’s en-

Asia. Jaishankar detailed
how the efforts made by

over the last decade – es-
pecially through im-
provement of ties with
neighbouring Bangla-
desh and the ‘Act East’
policy that focuses on
forging new partnerships
with the 10-nation
ASEAN and beyond.
“If you look at the last
decade, northeast India
has actually been a big
beneficiary of this dra-
matic improvement in
India-Bangladesh ties.
When we did the Land
Boundary Agreement
(LBA) in 2015 and things
settled down, there was a
new level of trust and
confidence between both
countries. You saw a lot
of other problems being
resolved, including deal-
ing with terrorism and
instability,” said Jais-
hankar.
He asserted that the
Modi government has,
through increased con-
nectivity projects, been
successful to a great ex-
tent in restoring the situa-
tion that existed before the
India-Pak war of 1965.

al basis and the allegation
that “it is racially stereo-
typed is unfortunate” and
untrue. Addressing re-
porters, Narayanan said
the amount of sugar con-
tent in infant foods is de-
termined by the capabil-
ity to meet the nutrition
profile of a particular age
group and is universal.
Nestle India’s added
sugar content in Cerelac
is much lower than the
upper limit prescribed by
FSSAI, he said.
“There is nothing in
this product that makes it
a product that is poten-
tially of any risk or any
kind of harm to the
child,” he said.
As per the (FSSAI),
the permissible level of
added sugar is 13.6 grams
per 100 grams of feed.

which is well below the
standards and the maxi-
mum limits set up,” he

the perception of people
living abroad had changed
after seeing how India
handled the COVID-19

country’s lunar mission
‘Chandrayaan-3’ had a
huge impact on Indians
living abroad. Jaishankar
noted that decisions made
at home are keenly followed
by the world. “We are the
largest country in the world.
We are the fifth largest
economy, soon we’ll be the
third. How we do at home
is watched by everybody
abroad. What decisions
we make at home, is also
very keenly followed by the
world. So, if we are now in
the coming weeks going to
decide our future in what-
ever way we wish, it’s not
just a conversation amongst
ourselves,” he said.
Thiruvananthapuram: The entire
coastal areas of Kerala and the
southern coastal parts of Tamil Nadu
are likely to experience the “kallakkadal
phenomenon” -- the sudden swell of the seas
causing rough waves -- until 11.30 pm on

alerts to fishermen and coastal residents.
“As the rough seas are likely to intensify, stay
away from the danger zone areas as per the
instructions of the authorities,” according to the
Indian National Centre for Ocean Information
Services (INCOIS). INCOIS, the agency that
issues weather warnings for fishermen in the

A dam collapsed in
western Kenya early
Monday, killing at
least 40 people after a
wall of water swept
through houses and
cut off a major road,
police said.
The Old Kijabe
Dam, located in the
Mai Mahiu area of the
Great Rift Valley re-
gion that is prone to
flash floods, col-
lapsed and water
spilled downstream,
carrying with it mud,
rocks and uprooted
trees, police official
Stephen Kirui said.
TheAssociated Press.
Vehicles were en-
tangled in the debris
on one of Kenya's
busiest highways and
paramedics treated the
injured as waters sub-
merged large areas.
Ongoing rains in
Kenya have caused
flooding that has al-
ready killed nearly 100
people and postponed
the opening of schools.

Incorporate human values while
developing technical edu, says Guv
First India Bureau
Bikaner
Governor Kalraj Mishra,
while addressing the sec-
ond convocation ceremo-
ny of Bikaner Technical
University on Monday,
emphasised on promot-
ing research in the light of
traditional Indian knowl-
edge while adding human
values to technical educa-
tion. He also called for
creating a culture of man-
ufacturing local products
from the country’s re-
sources through technical
education in universities.
Mishra said that the ob-
jective of technical educa-
tion is to recognise the
unique abilities inherent
in students and prepare
themforfutureopportuni-
ties. He said that the tech-
nology developed by the
University should be in
tune with the times and
towards human welfare.
Expressing concern,
the Governor said that
even today scientific,
technical, and medical
education is given in Eng-
lish only. He said that un-
der the NEP, the Indian
Institute of Translation
and Interpretation has
been initiated by the GoI
and its objective is to
make scientific, technical,
medical education
courses available in other
languages along with
English.
Congratulating the stu-
dents who received gold
medals at the convoca-
tion, Mishra said that 11
of those who received
gold medals were girls.
“This number indicates
that if given an opportu-
nity, girls can strengthen
their future and the future
of the nation,” he said.

1926, such as expanding
railway infrastructure
and harnessing the

Bikaner's rich legacy.
BTU aims to pioneer
innovative research,
drawing inspiration
from this heritage.
Universities should align
courses with the NEP,
integrating modern

our ancient wisdom.

The voting conducted on
25 Lok Sabha seats of the
State has shown a trend
of low voting.
Even veteran leaders
could not be as success-
ful in bringing the lax
voters to the booth as
was being claimed. If we
compare the voting in the
2019 Lok Sabha elec-
tions, the constituencies
of Urban Development
Minister Jhabar Singh
Kharra, Water Resources
Minister Suresh Rawat
and Deputy Chief Minis-
ter Premchand Bairwa
lagged behind.
In Kharra’s Shrimad-
hopur assembly seat,
11.94 percent less votes
were cast as compared
to the previous elec-
tions. Same was the
condition of Dudu As-
sembly constituency of
Deputy Chief Minister
Bairwa. Here too, 11.26
percent less votes were
cast as compared to
2019.

stituencies of Chief Min-

Dotasara’s Laxmangarh,
Leader of Opposition Ti-
karam Jully’s Alwar Ru-
ral and other stalwarts,
voter enthusiasm was
less than in the last Lok

Booth analysis drives
BJP-Cong dynamics
First India Bureau
Jaipur
The victory and defeat in
the recently concluded
LS polls is hidden in
analysis of booths! BJP
and Congress are busy
analysing booth wise data
and matching between
Assembly polls and last
LS polls. Both parties are
preparing possible results
based on this. Where BJP
has claimed to win all 25
seats, Congress leaders
are claiming victory on
about 8-10 seats. Mean-
while, bookies of State
have also become active.
Meanwhile, BJP State
President CP Joshi dis-
played his sincerity to-
wards those who cam-
paigned for him in polls.
Many BJP stalwarts
toured Chittorgarh dur-
ing election campaign
and thus Joshi expressed
gratitude to all prominent
leaders over phone.
In fact, many leaders
even said that they had
campaigned for many
other candidates as well,
but no one even thanked
them in return.
CP Joshi thanked

supporters,including
BJP stalwarts, who

n the vibrant tap-
estry of fashion,
few hues com-
mand attention
quite like the
bold and beguiling red. Symbol-
izing passion, power, and confi-
dence, red has long been a time-
less staple in the realm of style,
captivating hearts and turning
heads with its fiery allure. From
the crimson carpets of Hollywood
to the runways of Paris, this iconic
hue continues to reign supreme,
effortlessly infusing elegance and
sophistication into any ensemble.
In the world of haute couture,
designers have embraced the al-
lure of red, incorporating it into
their collections with aplomb.
From the classic elegance of a
scarlet evening gown to the
contemporary edge of a fiery
red pantsuit, red transcends
trends, offering a timeless al-
lure that never fails to capti-
vate. Whether it’s the rich,
velvety hues of ruby red or
the vibrant intensity of cher-
ry red, there’s a shade of
crimson to suit every taste
and occasion.
Beyond its sartorial appeal, red
carries a rich cultural significance,
evoking emotions and associations
that span centuries. In ancient civili-
zations, red was revered as a symbol
of wealth and status, adorning roy-
alty and nobility in opulent garments
fit for kings and queens. Today, red
remains a symbol of power and au-
thority, imbuing its wearer with a
sense of confidence and charisma
that commands attention wherever
they go.
From the iconic red lip to the time-
less allure of a scarlet stiletto, red
accessories add a touch of drama and
sophistication to any look. Wheth-
er you’re stepping out in a sleek
black dress or a crisp white ensem-
ble, a pop of red instantly elevates
your style game, infusing your outfit
with a bold and audacious flair that’s
impossible to ignore.
For those who dare to make a
statement, red offers endless possi-
bilities for self-expression and crea-
tivity. Whether you’re channelling
old Hollywood glamour in a vintage-
inspired red cocktail dress or em-
bracing your inner rockstar in a bold
red leather jacket, there’s no denying
the transformative power of this
iconic hue.
As we navigate the ever-changing
landscape of fashion, one thing re-
mains constant: the timeless allure of
red. Whether you’re embracing its
fieryintensityoraddingasubtletouch
of crimson to your look, red is the ul-
timatesymbolofstyle,sophistication,
and self-assurance. So why not dare
to stand out from the crowd and paint
the town red in your unique way?Af-
ter all, in a world of trends and fads,
true style is timeless, and nothing
commands attention quite like the
bold and beautiful allure of red.
