Norway managed its oil and gas wealth through transparent institutions and by establishing a sovereign wealth fund. It ensured state ownership of oil revenues through taxes and ownership stakes. Norway also established clear rules, including spending only expected investment returns from its sovereign wealth fund. This helped Norway avoid overdependence on oil and insulated its economy from volatility. The fund now contains over $1 trillion in assets diversified across global equities and fixed income. However, Norway faces future challenges in diversifying its economy beyond oil and increasing research spending.

In March 2013, the Italian government approved the National Energy Strategy (NES), a paper which sets out the main goals and the top priorities to be pursued in the coming years to support the growth of the Italian economic system and the energy market. According to NES, Italy has significant oil and gas reserves (i.e.: the largest in Europe after the Nordic countries) and development of the hydrocarbon industry is one of Italian goal/top priorities. This presentation includes a quick outlook and summary of the main content of the NES with respect to the upstream oil&gas market .

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

11. How did Norway manage their oil and gas
-Institutions
Before oil discovery, Norway had attained democracy and also had a well functioning state
bureaucracy with little corruption. Ttransparency, reports and supervision are main
aspects.
One Important factor is how the Norwegian government ensured that bulk of the oil
revenues were reaped by the state( Stable and Transparent Tax system).
Government also assumes passive ownership shares in all fields through SDFI( State
Direct Financial Interest).
Social and Political Institutions

Sources: Energy Policy 2013, Avoiding the resource curse- the case of Norway
12. How did Norway manage their oil and gas
-Institutions
Fiscal rule in 2001: Spending of the oil revenues should be equal to the expected real
return from the pension fund. 3.5~ 4%. The whole net cash flow from the petroleum sector
transfers to pension fund.
Outcomes:
Fund will grow with new revenues
The fund never becomes smaller, in expected terms
Government runs with a non oil budget deficit, therefore higher public spending
and lower taxes are possible

13. 1. National supervision and control must be ensured for all operations on the NCS.
2. Petroleum discoveries must be exploited in a way which makes Norway as independent
as possible of others for its supplies of crude oil.
3. New industry will be developed on the basis of petroleum.
4. The development of an oil industry must take necessary account of existing industrial
activities and the protection of nature and the environment.
5. Flaring of exploitable gas on the NCS must not be accepted except during brief periods of
testing.
6. Petroleum from the NCS must as a general rule be landed in Norway, except in those
cases where socio-political considerations dictate a different solution.
7. The state must become involved at all appropriate levels and contribute to a coordination
of Norwegian interests in Norway’s petroleum industry as well as the creation of an
integrated oil community which sets its sights both nationally and internationally.
8. A state oil company will be established which can look after the government’s commercial
interests and pursue appropriate collaboration with domestic and foreign oil interests.
9. A pattern of activities must be selected north of the 62nd parallel which reflects the special
socio-political conditions prevailing in that part of the country.
10. Large Norwegian petroleum discoveries could present new tasks for Norway’s foreign
policy.

14. What is a Sovereign Wealth Fund?(SWF)
• A State-owned investment fund or entity that is commonly
established from balance of payments surplus.
• official foreign currency operations, the proceeds of privatization,
governmental transfer payments, fiscal surplus, and/or receipts
resulting from resource exports.
• It excludes, among other things, foreign currency reserve assets
held by monetary authorities for the traditional balance of
payments or monetary policy purposes, state-owned enterprises

funds (funded by employee/employer contributions), or assets
managed for the benefit of individuals.

20. Conclusion
Norwegian Model is based on a clear and relatively simple legal &
institutional framework that allows the country to maximize value of
its oil revenues.
Norway has avoided becoming economically & politically dependent
on oil revenues by excluding oil wealth from political system.
