1. KOLKATA: Senior
Congress leader P
Chidambaram said on
Monday it is time to amend
the Armed Forces (Special
Powers) Act currently in force
in Jammu and Kashmir and
some other states.
"There is a need to amend
the AFSPA, if you cannot
repeal it. The law and order
should be entrusted to the
Jammu and Kashmir police
and not on the paramilitary
forces," Chidambaram, a
former Union minister, said at
a programme here.
The act gives the security
forces special rights and
immunity in carrying out
various operations in
disturbed areas. There has
been a long-standing demand
from various quarters in J&K
and the Northeast to withdraw
it. Chidambaram, also
chairman of the panel on
home affairs in the Rajya
Sabha, said the presence of
paramilitary forces in the
northern state should be
whittled down drastically. He
said it would lower the graph
of violence there.

The Union Minister of
Finance and Corporate
Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley
stated that the Agriculture
Credit flow target of Rs.11
lakh crore for the Financial
Year 2018-19 is achievable by
the banking sector and would
add to the momentum towards
doubling the farmers’ income
by 2022. The Finance
Minister, Shri Jaitley was
delivering the Annual Address
to Board of National Bank for
Agriculture and Rural
Development (NABARD)
here in New Delhi today. He
also reviewed the Funds
announced in the earlier
Union Budgets and stressed
the need for all the
stakeholders to collaborate to
improve the farmers’ income.
The Finance Minister, Shri
Jaitley emphasized that the
banking sector must invest in
long term assets to improve
the capital formation in
Agriculture Sector. He further
stated that the investments in
financial technology over the
past few years have brought in
efficiency, speed and
transparency in the rural
financial eco system.
Shri Rajeev Kumar,
Secretary, Department of
Financial Services,
Government of India,
highlighted the necessity of
financial inclusion and
adoption of technologies to
make use of the opportunities
arising out of higher GDP
growth. He requested the
banking system to concentrate
on geographical areas like
North East, East and Central
India where the formal credit
can give a fillip to the growth
potential these areas offer. He
also mentioned that his
Department is actively
engaged with other Ministries
to create an enriching eco-
system.
Dr. Harsh Kumar
Bhanwala, Chairman,
NABARD mentioned that
NABARD has operationalised
the funds announced in the
previous Union Budget and
specifically said that the Prime
Ministers’ Grameen Awas
Yojana is about to be
supported through Rs.9000
crore shortly. The Rs.5000
crore Micro Irrigation Fund
which will promote water
conserving and productivity
enhancing technologies, will
also be operationalised
shortly. He emphasised the
need for formation of robust
Farmer Producers
Organisations (FPOs) and
committed to the Finance
Minister that NABARD will
also form FPOs quickly.

Shri Nitin Gadkari, Minister
for Road Transport &
Highways, Shipping and Water
Resources, River Development
& Ganga Rejuvenation laid the
foundation stone for setting up
of a National Technology
Centre for Ports, Waterways
and Coasts (NTCPWC), at IIT
Chennai today. The Ministry of
Shipping and IIT Chennai also
signed an MoU for this at the
event today.
NTCPWC, being set up
under the Shipping Ministry’s
flagship programme
Sagarmala, will act as a
technology arm of the Ministry
of Shipping for providing
engineering and technological
inputs and support for Ports,
Inland Waterways Authority of
India and other institutions. It
will carry on applied research in
the areas of 2D and 3D
Modelling of ocean, coastal and
estuarine flows, sediment
transport and morphodynamics,
navigation and maneuvering,
dredging and siltation, port and
coastal engineering-structures
and breakwaters, autonomous
platforms and vehicles,
experimental and CFD
modeling of flow and hull
interaction, hydrodynamics of
multiple hulls and ocean
renewable energy. The centre
will provide indigenous
software and technology, make
technical guidelines and
standards and address port and
maritime issues with models
and simulations. The centre will
not only help generate new
technology and innovations but
also work towards their
successful commercialization.
It will provide learning
opportunities for the people
working in Ministry of
Shipping.
NTCPWC is being set up at
a cost of Rs 70.53 crore to be
shared by Ministry of Shipping,
IWAI and the Major Ports.
Ministry of Shipping’s grant is
towards capital expenditure for
creating facilities like Field
Research Facility (FRF),
Sedimentation and Erosion
Management Test Basin and
Ship/Tow Simulator. The centre
will be self sustainable in three
years through industry
consultancy projects for Indian
and global port and maritime
sector.

3. The district-wise data from the National
Achievement Survey (NAS) 2017 is a wake-
up call to central and state governments. It
indicates that education in government
schools is failing to equip a majority of chil-
dren for the academic rigours of higher edu-
cation or the confidence to acquire skills and
pursue gainful employment. And yet the data
also reveals aspirations at work, of girls out-
shining boys, rural schools bettering urban
ones, OBCs outperforming general category,
and Dalit students doing better than others in
primary classes in some pockets.
Although experts say those with resources
have migrated to private schools leaving
mostly OBC, Dalit, Adivasi and poor students
in government schools, this is also a great
window of opportunity for weaker sections of
society. This urge to learn and venture outside
traditional occupations makes it incumbent
upon governments to not let down first gener-
ation learners. Unfortunately, while there has
been a great emphasis on assessments in this
past decade and we now have a wealth of data
from these studies, it all points to declining
learning outcomes.
NAS 2017 shows Class III, V and VII stu-
dents tested on subjects like math, language
and sciences suffer declining learning out-
comes, with higher classes scoring fewer
marks. Weaknesses in primary education are
getting amplified as students move to higher
classes. Clearly, more teachers are needed,
they need better training, and curriculum and
study material must converge with capacities
of teachers and students. But is any of this
being done? The time for assessment is over;
implementation must start. The elementary
decision to crack down on cheating forced 10
lakh UP board students to drop out of Class X
and XII exams. But stopping mass cheating
was the easier part. Such mass dropouts
underline a crying need to improve teaching
and learning systems, especially as techno-
logical disruption through automation and
robotics is poised to eliminate many lakh
unskilled jobs. We also have the likes of 16-
year-old Harshita Arora from Saharanpur, UP,
who left school to pursue alternative comput-
er education and developed a popular mobile
app monitoring cryptocurrency price fluctua-
tions. Her story suggests all the potential that
can be unlocked if the education system is
rapidly upgraded. If funding, institutional
will, and trained teachers can plug into aspi-
rations, results will show. Education, like
livelihoods, must become an election issue.
All news is selective and
none more so than foreign
news. On the day Prime
Minister Narendra Modi
reached Davos, the UK-based
Oxfam released what many
considered an explosive report.
Entitled Reward Work, Not
Wealth, the report suggested
that “82% of the wealth gener-
ated last year went to the rich-
est 1% of the global popula-
tion, while the 3.7 billion peo-
ple who make up the poorest
half of the world saw no
increase in their wealth.”
Adding an Indian dimension to
the horror story of global
inequity, the report added
India’s richest 1% garnered as
much as 73% of the total
wealth generated in the country
in 2017.
That the report had an
explicitly political objective
was made clear by the head of
Oxfam India in her press state-
ment: “The billionaire boom is
not a sign of a thriving econo-
my but a symptom of a failing
economic system. Those work-
ing hard… are struggling to
fund their child’s education,
buy medicines… and manage
two meals a day. The growing
divide undermines democracy
and promotes corruption and
cronyism.” Predictably, there
was no mention of the numbers
that had been lifted out of
poverty thanks to the robust
growth.
The report got a lot of play
in the Indian print media and
was flaunted by those who
have never reconciled them-
selves to the end of the social-
ist raj. But then, sensational
reports by activists invariably
receive lavish coverage, not
least because the messengers
of doom are skilled in ‘advoca-
cy’. After all, the prevalence of
misery, often real but some-
times exaggerated, constitutes
the very rationale of their exis-
tence.
Curiously, but perhaps not
so, there was hardly any media
coverage in India of a scandal
that erupted barely a fortnight
later in London. On February
11, the Sunday Times
(London) revealed that nearly
120 charity workers had been
dismissed over the past seven
years for sexual offences that
British prime minister Theresa
May has dubbed “horrific.”
There were 87 incidents
involving Oxfam, 31 involving
Save the Children and two that
concerned ChristianAid. There
was even a reported case of
child abuse in India by an
employee of the Grail Trust.
The worst cases, however,
related to the cynical sexual
exploitation of local women in
Haiti in the aftermath of the
horrific earthquake in 2011. At
a House of Commons
Committee hearing, a British
MP suggested that the aid
workers viewed local women
like “trinkets” and Priti Patel, a
former minister, said that the
sector had become a refuge for
“predatory paedophiles”. The
outrage was strong enough for
the British government to sus-
pend the 32 million pounds of
public money it donated to
Oxfam annually and some
7,000 individual donors to can-
cel their standing orders.
Maybe that was overstating
the point since NGOs also have
very dedicated and idealistic
individuals in their ranks. But
it is a commentary on the cyn-
icism that has affected the
cash-rich global organisations
eliciting Christmas donations
for proverbial ‘humanitarian
disasters’ and campaigning
against pro-rich policies that
they think nothing of violating
the norms of transparency they
recommend for others. Oxfam,
for example, suppressed till
last week an internal report
from 2011 that documented the
perversions of some of its sen-
ior staff. And a former CEO of
Save the Children who should
have been drummed out in dis-
grace was given a sweetheart
termination package and made
his way to Unicef as deputy
CEO.
The extent to which the
Oxfam scandal in the UK is
indicative of the rotten under-
belly of the global piety indus-
try is a matter of conjecture.
There are good NGOs that
have modest aims and work
with dedication among vulner-
able communities. Then there
are those that began with a
sense of mission but then
acquired fame and fortune that
turned them into businesses
specialising in international
conference tourism, if not
quasi-political outfits. NGO
stalwarts in India, for example,
transformed themselves into
policy makers during the previ-
ous UPA government thanks to
the patronage of Sonia
Gandhi’s National Advisory
Council. Many of them have
now developed a vested inter-
est in the perpetuation of
poverty and are in the forefront
of the opposition to Aadhaar,
on the ground it violates the
privacy of the poor. A few
teamed up with AAP during
the 2014 general elections and
left a trail of forfeited security
deposits.
For long, it was considered
offensive to question the lofti-
ness of the NGOs and their
international donors. The
Oxfam scandal has shown that
underneath the holy robes is a
lot of sin.

Pakistan last week was
served notice that there will be
a global crackdown on its
financial network on account
of its support to terror outfits.
Following a plenary of the
Financial Action Task Force,
an inter-governmental body
which sets standards to fight
money laundering and terror-
ist financing, Pakistan is
expected to be put back in the
so-called grey list in June.
This is a list of countries not
doing enough to meet FATF’s
standards. This development
is positive for India and
Afghanistan which have borne
the brunt of terrorist activities
emanating from Pakistani soil.
Pakistan between 2012 and
2015 was placed on the grey
list. On that occasion, the fall-
out was partially cushioned by
the US which helped it get an
IMF bailout. Things are differ-
ent this time as the US is the
driving force behind the latest
move. Of equal significance is
China’s neutrality at the end.
Being placed in the grey list
has an adverse impact on a
country’s private sector enti-
ties which transact with over-
seas partners. In this context,
without a bailout from multi-
lateral organisations, being on
a watchlist will hurt.
Pakistan infiltrating terror-
ists across its borders ups the
dangers of war with India; not
surprisingly, the LoC is heat-
ing up with regular exchanges
of fire. It also destabilises the
Afghan government and
endangers US troops stationed
there. The international com-
munity needs to ratchet up
financial and other forms of
pressure to persuade Pakistan
to dismantle its terror infra-
structure. And China needs to
play its role here too, for sev-
eral reasons. One, as an
emerging global power, China
should do its bit to enhance
global security – particularly
in its own neighbourhood.
Two, given the scale of
China’s investments in
Pakistan, a peaceful and ter-
rorist-free Pakistan is a pre-
requisite to safeguard its own
interests.

IYC Press Release:Double protest by
IYC against BJP and AAP governments
Delhi: : Indian Youth Congress staged a protest march
against Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley in relation to the
Nirav Modi - PNB scam. Mr Jaitley has acted in utmost irre-
sponsible way and has restrained from addressing the nation
or to the media in light of this massive scam. As a Finance
minister of the country, he needs to clarify his stand and
address the concern of the citizens of India whose hard
earned savings and investments are being time and again
siphoned off to rich industrialists. IYC demanded Mr.
Jaitley to present himself before the public and also before a
joint Parliament Committee and clear out his stand, if he has
no involvement; just the way Dr. Manmohan Singh and Mr.
Yashwant Sinha did during UPA regime. BJP has never
thought twice before hurling accusations on UPA or even on
Mr. Gandhi on every occasion so why is BJP quiet now. If
they have not been a share holder in these scams then they
need to come out in the open. As Youth representatives of
the Nation, the sole purpose of IYC is to unveil these wolfs
in sheep's clothing! IYC's protest march began from IYC
National office, 5 Raisina Road towards Finance Ministry
(North Block New Delhi ) where the police forcefully
stopped the protesters.

I agree. It hurt to hear
that Sridevi had died. That
superb comic timing, those
talkative eyes, her many
embodiments of sexiness
(from sooo cute to ouch
it’s getting hot in here).
There’s a reason it was
Sridevi’s Hawa Hawai that
Vidya Balan reprised in
Tumhari Sulu, the sleeper
hit that may in turn be
reprised by Jyothika in
Tamil. The way she went
melodrama for melodrama
with Amitabh Bachchan,
hoity for toity with Anil
Kapoor, slapstick for slap-
stick with Rajnikanth.
But it also hurts that she
is being memorialised as
India’s first woman super-
star. She was only 54 years
old when she died but she
was only 32 years old
when she retired, because
she got married. In the two
decades since she had
appeared only in a handful
of movies – while her male
co-stars, the ones who
shone no more brightly
than her when they worked
together, Bachchan and
Kapoor and Rajnikanth,
kept playing the game and
growing their fame. They
dropped duds and howlers
but confidently continued
starwards. Meanwhile,
yes, we saw Sridevi often,
dressed fine, looking finer,
with husband and children
in tow, at award shows and
the opening of jewelry
showrooms, but we hardly
heard her speak. Smile
smile smile but not speak.
If she had been having
plastic surgery since at
least the eighties, the male
superstars have likely done
no less bhakti of the Rakhi
Sawant dictum: Jo bhag-
wan nahi deta doctor de
deta hai. The way they
sport improbably dense
heads of hair decade after
decade is just one give-
away.
All these are legit tricks
of the trade. It’s cool that
Sridevi plied them but it’s
sad that she didn’t ply
them in more, many more
movies. Imagine an alter-
native narrative, not one
where she became a
female Amitabh but he
became a male Sridevi.

The untimely demise of
legendary actress Sridevi at
the age of 54 has left B-town

was reportedly found
"motionless" in the bathroom

Boney Kapoor, as he alleged-
ly waited to take her out on a
surprise dinner date on
Saturday night. The official
announcement of her demise
came in the early hours of

family and fans mourning her
unexpected death.

New Delhi : Dr. Karan
Singh & Dr. Uma Sharma
inaugurated Mindscape, Solo
exhibition of Paintings By
Vinod Sharma organized by
Shekhar Jhamb Creativity Art
Gallery, at the Visual Art
Gallery, India Habitat Center,
New Delhi in the august gath-
ering of many veteran and
young artists and art lovers
across the city.
Celebrated scholar,
Member of the Parliament,
The Former Chairman of
Indian Council of Cultural
Relations (ICCR), the dece-
dent of the Jammu and
Kashmir Royal family, Dr.
Karan Singh describes the
importance of arts in our
daily life after lightning the
lamp to inaugurate the exhibi-
tion. As he mentioned the
nature or Prakriti as Goddess
Mother. Veteran Kathak
danseuse Padmabhivashan
Dr. Uma Sharma said, “Vinod
Sharms’s paintings are mind
blowing, I am not even get-
ting enough words to describe
the beauty of his work. In my
school days and even in col-
lege days beside practicing
the Kathak dance, which is
my life and for that people
know me, I also use to paint a
lot. I love paintings. And I
know the difficulties of this
art form. That’s why I am
spellbound to see the details
work of his paintings, where
he describes through his mas-
ter strokes, the little minute
details of fogs, mists, the sur-
face of stones”.
Dr. Uma Sharma , also
pointed out particularly of her
favourite paintings and also
describes why she has liked
those three masterpieces.
Noted artist and curator of the
exhibition, Manish Pushkale
said, “After having a close
look on his paintings, let me
start with this quick question
- what he paints? One can
answer this with great ease
that he is a fine landscapist or
he is a painter of the polite
interpretations of Landscape.
When we have Painters like
Ramkumar or Ganesh Haloi -
whose work revolves around
their earned melodies of land-
scapes whereas on the other
hand painters like Paramjeet
Singh or Surya Prakash,
whose work reflects various
existential and realizable
moods of the surrounding
nature.
Herewith such references,
let me return and ratify my
existing quarry i.e. where
Vinod Sharma exists? And his
paintings are about rational-
ist's melody or a realist's
memory? This is a tangible
truth that his paintings assess
our memory, ravishes our
senses, exaggerate our atten-
tion and forces us to recollect
if they really exists on this
Planet? After all, in the eyes
of a viewer, the realm of his
landscape not only produces
the path but also ravel the
explicit possibilities of our
reach in it”.
“Through his paintings, he
mystifies the territory by
adding the perplexities to its
beauty and confines our
memory; he not only dislo-
cate us from the edge of our
own confirmations but also
relocates us in its accumulat-
ed shifting paradigms. It may
crush our confidence and
destroy our sense of experi-
ences as this land actually
does not exist anywhere. It is
interesting to be lost in his
labyrinths of no man's land -
with the connotations of a
land of no man, and a man of
no land. The terrain which is
not at all surrounded by any
kind of man made encroach-
ments. Is it a site which is
either waiting for the civiliza-
tion yet to emerge on its
sphere or it is a purview
where only the aftermath
silence exists as an epilogue
of its lost civilization?
Whatever the answer is... all
depends on how one see
them...” signed off Pushkale.
On asking about the secret
of the minute details he cre-
ates on the canvas, the veter-
an artist Vinod Sharma,
laughingly said, “you know I
just throw colours and it takes
shapes…” then finally he
described that, “each and
every frames takes more than
a month to complete and there
is indeed lots of hard work.”
“I love nature, and here you
see all the paintings are
depicting the beauty of the
nature, and if you see, I did
not put captions to the paint-
ings, I have called the show –
Mindscape. As it is up to the
viewers, let them think about
the work by themselves, let
them have their own interpre-
tations about the nature
through these paintings,” said
the master creator Vinod
Sharma.
