The document discusses why citizens pay tolls on major highways and roads in India. It acknowledges citizens' frustrations with paying taxes yet seeing road quality decline. However, it explains that the government's infrastructure budget is insufficient and toll fees help bridge the funding gap. Toll revenues are used to maintain existing roads and build new ones, benefiting citizens. While individuals contribute only 30% of government earnings through income tax, infrastructure needs funding from various sources. The document advocates that tolls are a reasonable way to charge urban citizens who can afford to help finance roads that all citizens use.

Development of internet technology in BangladeshMasum Hussain
Bangladesh is a developing country of South Asia with a huge population of 160 million living within a small geographical boundary of 1,47,570 square kilometers. Bangladesh is popularly known as one of the most densely populated countries of the world where the density rate is 1015 per sq. km. So it's a great challenge for the Bangladesh government to feed up the increasing population as the cultivable lands are decreasing day by day. Moreover providing cloths, accommodation facilities, giving education and health care facilities to the people which are the primary duties of the government are also becoming difficult for the increasing population. Apart from these being a developing country the government can't also affords to set up new industries and create employment opportunities for the people. So it's very difficult for the country to compete with the rising economic powers in the global arena with the burden of this population. But it's a matter of concern that there is no chance of decreasing these problems in upcoming days rather these are turning into a devastating shape. Proper and planned utilization of internet technology can be a nice solution in this regard. Somebody may be surprised to hear this. They may argue that how it's possible to change the overall scenario of the country through using internet technology. Rather they may show the logic against this theory and say that use of technology will accelerate unemployment problems of the country, high cost is involved to use this and expert knowledge is required to avail this facility of modern science. But the reality doesn't match with their imagination. Here I'll try my level best to prove the fact that use of internet technology can be a great medium for the sustainable development of the country through logical explanation from different points of view.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world.

Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students.

ZGB - The Role of Generative AI in Government transformation.pdfSaeed Al Dhaheri
This keynote was presented during the the 7th edition of the UAE Hackathon 2024. It highlights the role of AI and Generative AI in addressing government transformation to achieve zero government bureaucracy
3. And lately there have been
strong requests from the
citizens to do away with
Tolls at all major highways
and roads.
4. We know, and we
understand your pain. It
won’t be wrong to assume
that you want the same.
5. “ Why am I paying tolls when
I am already paying a bunch
of taxes like road tax, income
tax, auto tax etc.?”
“What is the government
doing with all that money if
the road conditions are
getting worse every year?”
You may have questions like,
8. India has an extensive road network of
5.5M km as of Oct, 2019.
Development of road infrastructure
has been a priority to take our country
to the next level.
And the plan to is to build 21000 km
of roads between FY20 - 22 under the
Bharatmala Pariyojana.
9. This is primarily to reduce the
travel time on road, the
pollution caused by vehicles
and the congestion due to
heavy traffic.
10. 06
The vision is to make India a
$5 trillion economy by 2025.
And to do this the road infrastructure needs to be
spruced up at a faster pace!
11. 0
In the Union Budget of FY 19-20, a total of ₹86,000 cr
has been allocated to the MoRTH and NHAI.
But today, we are constructing projects worth ₹8 lakh cr!
17. Some sources of revenue for the Indian Government
Source: Livemint
Corporate Tax
GST
Personal Income Tax
Excise
Customs
18. Where does the Government spend
this money majorly?
Banking & Finance Defence Infrastructure Industry Social Justice
Investments Agriculture
and allied
activities
Rural
Development
Social security Education
24. You pay for Good Services
Regular maintenance and upkeep of the roads, requires funds. We are short of money to
build new roads, how can we spare money to maintain them?
25. To bridge the deficit
Government doesn’t have the money to fund new projects. Land acquisition costs and rural
road projects demand heavy investment.
26. Charge those who can pay
The government needs money to build roads in the metros as well as the rural areas.
The government collects toll from the urban citizens because they can afford to pay for it.
Whereas collecting toll in the rural areas is difficult, since the people cannot afford to pay for it!
27. The government doesn’t earn from Toll.
It uses YOUR money to make good
infrastructure available for YOU.
28. Different types of Toll Collection methods
TOT - Toll Operate Transfer model
BOT - Build Operate and Transfer Annuity Model
EPC - Engineering, Procurement and Construction Model
HAM - HybridAnnuity Model - combination of BOT & EPC
29. Tolls are collected across all the
developed nations across the
world to fuel new infrastructure
and maintain the existing ones.
In the US alone, toll is collected
on an auction basis i.e more the
traffic, more the toll.
Quick fact:
30. As a responsible citizen who pays taxes,
the government only expects the
citizenry to realise what goes on in the
background and act responsibly.
