The document discusses Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in India. It defines SEZs as duty-free enclaves considered foreign territory for trade. SEZs aim to promote exports, investment, employment and infrastructure development. India first established Export Processing Zones in 1965 and the SEZ Act was passed in 2005. SEZs provide tax incentives and world-class infrastructure to attract investors. However, proper planning and rehabilitation policies are needed to address issues caused by land acquisition.

>Industries Department as the nodal department and IPICOL as the nodal agency for all SEZs.
>A three-tier single window clearance mechanism to facilitate speedy implementation of industrial projects is in place
>For Sector specific SEZ proposals, IPICOL may scrutinize in consultation with line departments.
>Provision for declaration as Public Utility Services
>Appointment of a Development Commissioner (DC) for each SEZ
Special Economic Zone is the most discussed and disputed topic in India. For the economic development and to encourage export of various things and to take place in globalization all the countries are contributing themselves and trying for it consciously and SEZ is one of the parts of this. All over the opposition to SEZ, but for financial development, export growth, increase employment of the country, SEZ is essential. Government has passed special SEZ Act and implementation is doing. It is necessary to see the SEZ in positive view. SEZ projects should be started in backward area for
development of regional equilibrium. SEZ have been acquired land from the farmers, government should be done rehabilitation and included them as shareholders of the SEZ projects as well as the family members of the farmers should be reserved some vacancies of employment. Employment should be provided to the local workers, for existence of SSI to prepare list of articles of SSI, to limitations of maximum land acquired for SEZ etc. options should be considered by Government then farmers are helping to SEZ and economic development is done through SEZ.

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.

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

HISTORY OF SEZ’S IN INDIA
During the past four decades many developing countries have been creating special zones to promote their
exports and earn foreign exchange.
The term Export Processing Zone (EPZ) was first coined to identify the Shannon zone set up in Ireland in
1958.
India established its first EPZ in 1965 in Kandla (Gujarat)
In 1984 EPZs were established in Cochin (Kerala), Falta (Calcutta,now Kolkata), Madras (now Chennai) and
NOIDA (Uttar Pradesh).
The Visakhapatnam EPZ (Andhra Pradesh) was established in 1989 and the Surat EPZ (Gujarat) in 1997.
FORMATION OF ACT’S SEZ Act, 2005
With a view to overcome the shortcomings experienced on account of the multiplicity of controls and
clearances; absence of world class infrastructure, and an unstable fiscal regime and a view to attract larger
foreign investments in India,the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy was announced in April 2006.

GENERATION OF ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
PROMOTION OF EXPORTS OF GOODS AND SERVICES
PROMOTION OF INVESTMENT FROM DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN SOURCES
CREATION OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
DEVELOPMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES
The main objectives of the SEZ Act are:

EC0N0MIC BENEFITS
SEZ policy has directly benefited economy in following ways:
Employment Generation : SEZs generate direct employment for skilled and unskilled labour ; indirect
employment and employment for women workers.
Skill Formation: Formation of SEZs and new job requirements increase firm level activity whereby the labour
force acquires skills from within the firm through training and learning.
Attract investors:: SEZs offer a highly conducive investment scenario for developers. No tax during
development and operational stage. At profit stage 100% income tax exemption for Ist 5 yrs, 50% for next 5
yrs.
Technology Upgrading: SEZs attract export-oriented FDI and promote other forms of collaboration between
local firms and MNCs.
Exports: EPZ exports registered an impressive growth rate over the period 1966 to 2002. EPZ exports increased
in India from less than Rs.1 million in 1966 to over Rs.97727 million in 2002.
Manufacturing Sector: Share of manufacturing industry in the exports grew from negligible percentage in
1970 to above 6 % in 2005.

CONCLUSION
SEZ policy has no doubt given a boost to the Indian Economy but comparison of implementation with other
countries brings out lacunas in India’s SEZ Policy.
The reasons for disparities can be attributed to many reasons as listed below.
1. Improper SEZ policy
2. Irresponsible planning while locating SEZ
3. Ineffective Land Acquisition Policies
4. Improper Rehabilitation Policy
Key challenges in the SEZS programme will be
Due exercise of control while approving and locating SEZ’s.
Compensation for acquisition shall be on the basis of market prices .
Give share of acquired land ¡n the developed area to the owners.
Provision of employment for Landless labourers.
Provision of revenue for ULBs on sharing basis to compensate their withdrawal once the areais notified
as SEZ.
Development of SEZs needs to be integrated with existing Master Plans and Regional Plans.
There is need to develop regional/sub regional plan around the SEZ areas.
