1. Under Rashtriya Gokul
Mission, on the lines of Gokul
Gram, ‘ Gir Cow sanctuary’
has been Approved It Is the
Responsibility of Veterinarians
to Contribute in Keeping the
Nation Healthy By Increasing
Availability of Animal Protein
By 2022 the Government of
India is committed to Double
Farmers' Income Union
Minister of Agriculture and
Farmers Welfare, Shri Radha
Mohan Singh today said that
the Government of India has
undertaken several new initia-
tives in the field of animal hus-
bandry in Gujarat. Under
Rashtriya Gokul Mission, on
the lines of Gokul Gram ‘Gir,
Cow Sanctuary’ has been
approved. This will be estab-
lished in Dharampur,
Porbandar under Livestock
insurance coverage. Earlier
only two milk animals were
included , now 5 milk animals
and 50 small animals are
included. This scheme has
been implemented in all the
districts of the state, whereas
earlier only 15 districts were
included. During the year
2014-16, about 26,000 animals
have been insured in the state.
To fulfil the shortage of veteri-
narians, a veterinary college
has been established in
Junagadh. The Agriculture
Minister was speaking at the
inauguration ceremony of
polytechnic at Kamdhenu
University, Sabarkantha.
The Agriculture Minister
said that it is a matter of
immense pride that our coun-
try is number one in milk pro-
duction in the world. In the
year 2015-16, the growth rate
of milk production has been
6.28 per cent due to which
total production has reached
156 million tonnes.
And now, per person milk
availability is 337 gram on an
average, while on the world
level it is 229 gram. It is worth
mentioning that in comparison
to the years 2011-14, the
growth in milk production dur-
ing the years 2014-17 has been
16.9 per cent. He said that the
standard of living of urban and
rural families is rising, there-
fore, the demand for the ani-
mal protein is increasing. So, it
is necessary that we constantly
make effort to increase the
production of our livestock,
poultry and fish so that the
country's citizens are well-
nourished and healthy. That is
why it is the responsibility of
veterinarians to contribute in
keeping the nation healthy by
increasing availability of ani-
mal protein.
The Minister for State for
Home Affairs Shri Kiren
Rijiju co-chaired a session on
Cultural Heritage at Global
Platform for Disaster Risk
Reduction (GPDRR) at
Cancun, Mexico yesterday.
The session’s other co-chair
was Ms. Ana Lucy
Bengochea, Community
Leader from Garifuna,
Honduras. During the ses-
sion, Shri Kiren Rijiju said
that culture is fundamental to
the identity of a country and a
community. He gave refer-
ence to the negative impact of
the loss of heritage on Nepal
as a result of its 2015 earth-
quake. “When we lose her-
itage the loss is incalculable,
of course we lose artifacts but
we also lose much more. And
recovery in the heritage sector
is much more complex than
recovery in other sectors.
‘Prevention is better than
cure’ applies much more in
this respect,” he said. Shri
Kiren Rijiju said that India is
home to 35 UNESCO world
heritage and 900 museums
and has taken significant steps
to protect these sites from dis-
aster. This includes the devel-
opment of National Disaster
Management Guidelines for
Museums, which Shri Kiren
Rijiju said India was happy to
share with other countries. In
the document’s foreword,
Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi says: “These guidelines
are in alignment with the
Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction
2015-2030. I am sure this doc-
ument will go a long way in
establishing new benchmarks
for safety and security of our
museums. The guidelines are
an integral step towards maxi-
mizing the potential of her-
itage in India.” Sacred sites,
museums, libraries, collec-
tions and archives including
those that can hold local,
national and global artifacts,
legal deposits and vital
records on governance and
land tenure are part of the cru-
cial human infrastructure that
is often destroyed in the event
of a disaster.

The President of India, Shri Pranab
Mukherjee presented the Dr.
Ambedkar National Awards for out-
standing contribution to the promotion
of social understanding and for the
upliftment of weaker sections of the
society for the years 2011, 2012 and
2014 today (May 26, 2017) in New
Delhi. Speaking on the occasion, the
President congratulated the winners of
Dr. Ambedkar National Awards. He
said that we deeply appreciate and
value the works done by Professor S K
Thorat, a well known scholar, ‘Samta
Sainik Dal’ a non-political organiza-
tion founded by Dr. Ambedkar, ‘Amar
Sewa Sangam’ an institution working
in the field of empowering differently
abled persons and Shri Babu Lal
Nirmal, a social activist from
Rajasthan. All of them have done
tremendous work in furthering the
vision of Bharat Ratna, Dr. B. R.
Ambedkar, which was to create a soci-
ety in which everybody is treated
equally irrespective of his or her caste,
community, status or belief. The
President quoted Dr. Ambedkar and
said “Political democracy cannot last
unless there lies at the base of it social
democracy. What does social democra-
cy mean? It means a way of life which
recognizes liberty, equality and frater-
nity as the principles of life”. He stated
that Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of liberty,
equality and social justice found
appropriate place in our Constitution
which puts a lots of emphasis on
removing social injustice and promot-
ing positive actions to bring the disad-
vantaged sections in the mainstream.
He stated that the generation of today,
identifies Baba Saheb as the chief
architect of the Indian Constitution,
but he was much more than this. Dr.
Ambedkar strongly believed that polit-
ical Independence cannot assure either
solidarity or national integration in the
absence of social justice.

As he completes three
years as India’s Prime
Minister, one thing that
Narendra Modi has success-
fully put on the nation’s
agenda is the elimination of
the black economy through
his controversial November
8, 2016, demonetisation
drive. It remains to be seen if
the RBI’s withdrawal of Rs
500 and Rs 1,000 notes had
the desired impact but Modi
has reaped huge political div-
idends winning the key state
of Uttar Pradesh for his party,
BJP. Understanding the black
economy is not an easy task
as studies show that the phe-
nomenon is referred to by
more than thirty different
names all over the world,
ranging from black money,
parallel economy, informal
economy to subterranean
economy. There is little doubt
that the black economy is bad
for the economy. But how to
size the black economy and
then cut it down to size is a
really complex task that con-
founds experts and econo-
mists, leave alone the lay
reader. And publisher David
Davidar and Aleph deserve
fulsome praise for coming up
with a neat little book to
demystify the subject, written
lucidly by well-known devel-
opment economist Arun
Kumar, titled Understanding
The Black Economy and
Black Money In India (Pages
144, Price Rs 399). This is a
must-read for anyone keen to
figure out the challenges that
India faces at this critical
juncture.
Arun Kumar is the coun-
try’s leading authority on the
black economy and has stud-
ied, written about and lec-
tured extensively on the phe-
nomenon for nearly four
decades. He provocatively
argues that the problem
begins with the definition of
the black economy. Even the
term ‘black economy’ is
racially loaded and inappro-
priate. It implies that black is
bad while white is good.
He has estimated that the
figure of black money in
2012-2013 is 62% of GDP.
Assuming that it has
remained the same for 2016-
17, he calculates that black
money in the Indian economy
is Rs 93 lakh crore.
But the key thing to
remember – which Arun
Kumar readily concedes – is
that there is a lack of clear
picture about the size of the
economy as gathering of data
is inaccurate. He admits that
surveys throw up bad data
because people are trying to
mislead the authorities for
their own benefit.
This figure – Rs 93 lakh
crore – may be contested but
there is no quarrel about the
deleterious effects of the
black economy. It weakens
democracy. It prevents the
state from delivering its
infrastructural promises. It is
the cause of macroeconomic
problems like fiscal crises,
inflation and balance of pay-
ment (BOP) difficulties.
Micro problems and sec-
toral problems of the econo-
my, like poor and inadequate
education, health and infra-
structure are also linked to
the black economy. It raises
costs everywhere.
The black economy
involves all of us, whether
you would like to admit or
not. Take this. Why do the
coffers of religious establish-
ments in India always over-
flow? Temples, churches and
mosques are dumping yards
of black money in the form of
donations. People are willing
to give what’s more than due
to God but not ready to pay
Caesar.
When you make a dona-
tion to a religious establish-
ment, you are not asked to
reveal the source of your
income. It is not the Ambanis
and the Mallyas alone who
make such donations but mil-
lions of ordinary middle class
Indians shower their tax-
evaded income to propitiate
the Gods.
Only 1.2% of the 1.27 bil-
lion Indian population pays
tax. Is it because the tax rates
are too high? Or the non-tax
paying population too poor to
pay taxes? Yes, as Arun
Kumar tells us, the black
economy is concentrated in
the hands of a few—3% of
the population in 1995—but
there are millions who should
be paying the tax than a mere
3% that holds black money.
It is not the elite alone
responsible for the genera-
tion and perpetuation of
black money, although Arun
Kumar puts the blame largely
on the triad of corrupt politi-
cians, businessmen and the
executive.
Although at times he
sounds gloomy in how to
bring about the change, Arun
Kumar firmly believes that
without political change,
India cannot dismantle the
black economy.
He is arguing for internal
democracy among political
parties and electoral reforms
but is against the state fund-
ing of elections saying it
would only give additional
funds to the corrupt. Finally,
the economist bets on people
power. He believes in the
power of social movements
to bring about change upon
the political class and mem-
bers of the executive. The
unravelling of Aam Aadmi
Party in Delhi, however,
should temper our hopes.
Utkarsh Upadhyay
"The main means of mass
communication (broadcast-
ing, publishing, and the
Internet) regarded collective-
ly is termed as Media."
As we all know that
MEDIA is the 4th Most Pillar
of the Indian Democracy. In
the 21st Century Media is
coming out to be the most
interesting and opted
Profession. It has influenced
and inspired all ages and
especially YOUTH... This is
one of the best path to be
always Truthful and
Honest,and we have to main-
tain that after becoming a
media personality too in
future only . Media needs
passionate ones because it
needs a loads of hard work.
( " PA S S I O N + H A R D
WORK=MEDIA")
Having marks is not
enough to enter into Media ,
Talent too matters. Media
denotes an item specifically
designed to reach a large
audience or viewers.
And as everything has its
Advantages & as well as
Disadvantages here in this
too both are their. Media can
be used for various purposes
which are its
ADVANTAGES :-
1) Entertainment
2) News and Current
Affairs
3) Political Awareness
4) Education
5) Public Announcements
6) Advertisements
Disadvantages:-
Media has the bad effect
of inducing baseless ideas
through advertisements.
People are forced to buy
harmful or substandard prod-
ucts. Sometimes, the Media
develops unnecessary sensa-
tion and distortion of truth to
attract attention. Because of
its power to build public
opinion, the influence of
media can make or break the
government. So, we have too
be aware from these FAKE
practices done over media
and have to promote real and
interesting one VIA every
single medium of Media.

The Indian economy in black and white
"Bhim Sena" is in present day’s Raavan’s hands
Nowadays, a new brigade
known as ‘Bhim Sena’ has
emerged in western Uttar
Pradesh. This brigade is said
to be funded by some promi-
nent Muslim leaders from the
area to divide Hindus. This
naive sena is playing a game
of decisive politics. Earlier, it
was always Hindu Vs Muslim
politics in India, where in
political parties used to get
benefit by polarizing Muslim
votes and used them as a vote
bank. However, recently we
have seen the different trends
and these political parties too
realized that the strategy actu-
ally started backfiring them as
Hindus voters also started
polarising towards one partic-
ular party and obviously we
are seeing results of it. Hence,
these so-called secular parties
along with Muslim leaders
came up with a new strategy
and is trying to divide Hindus
according to castes with the
help of ‘Bhim Sena’, so
everything just settle on caste
politics instead of religion.
Bhim Sena which emerged
from nowhere is just to fight
with Hindu upper caste. This
new strategy is to divide
Hindus in caste as upper and
Dalits and polarise Muslims
voters to enjoy the ‘satta’.
Chandrashekhar Azad, the so
called ‘Bhim Sena’ leader
titled himself as ‘Raavan’.
These people intentionally
keep this type of names to
demean Lord Rama, who is
worshipped by the majority of
people and known as Maryada
Purushottam. However, while
glorifying Raavan they forget
that Raavan was also a
Brahmin and highly literate
one. Hmm! See the irony of
these Anti-Brahmanical
forces. Meanwhile, it is worth
noticing that those days the
human beings was not divided
into caste politics, it was
always a God vs Demon and
Good vs Bad, and Raavan was
a king of demons which is
chosen by today’s so called
Dalit mascots as their lord.
They have nothing to do with
Dalit welfare, education or
rights but only interested in
keeping the deprived commu-
nity to shine their politics.
Dalits should actually ques-
tion their new Messiah the
Raavan, what is his contribu-
tion towards his own commu-
nity’s betterment? And how
much he earned for himself in
the name of “Dalit and
Bhimrao”? They have not
spared a legend that has
shown them a right path to
live with self-respect and dig-
nity. If Dalit leaders and poli-
tics could really change the
fate of Dalits in India, trust
me today they wouldn’t have
been on roads, protesting
against upper caste.
Meanwhile, no Dalit wants to
be at par on merit basis with
others in spite of being given
all facilities and reservations.
The reason, their political
motive will come to an end.

5. Delhi government can't pay
lawyer for CM Arvind Kejriwal
NEW DELHI: Public
money cannot be used to
defend chief minister Arvind
Kejriwal for statements made
in his personal capacity
against Union minister Arun
Jaitley, a senior law officer has
said in an advice given to
lieutenant governor Anil
Baijal. The legal opinion was
given in response to several
queries by the LG on whether
statements by Kejriwal against
Jaitley were in his official
capacity and whether a special
lawyer should be provided to
the CM at the expense of the
state exchequer.
Replying to both queries in
the 'negative', additional
solicitor general (ASG)
Sanjay Jain has said the
statements made by Kejriwal
on his personal Twitter
account "have no connection"
with his official or public
duties and were "distinctly in
his individual or personal
capacity".
The ASG said that under
the Constitution, "it is
impermissible to use public
money for a private purpose",
and since Kejriwal was being
sued in his individual capacity,
"public money cannot be used
to defend the chief minister
for his statements made in his
personal capacity". He has
advised the LG to not approve
the proposal for appointment
of senior advocate Ram
Jethmalani to defend Kejriwal
and pay the lawyer out of the
government coffers.
Jethmalani (93) has been
representing Kejriwal in the
civil defamation case filed by
Jaitley in the Delhi high court
against the chief minister and
five other Aam Aadmi Party
leaders over allegations of
corruption when the Union
minister was the president of
the Delhi and District Cricket
Association (DDCA) from
2000 to 2013. Jaitley, who had
denied the allegations levelled
by the AAP leaders in
December 2015, had filed a
suit seeking Rs 10 crore as
damages.
The LG had sought the
ASG's opinion after deputy
CM Manish Sisodia had
proposed engaging Jethmalani
to defend Kejriwal after the
civil and criminal defamation
cases were filed against him.
The veteran criminal lawyer
was to be paid a retainer fee of
Rs 1 crore and an appearance
fee of Rs 22 lakh per court
visit, according to the legal
opinion. This proposal,
however, was objected to by
the law and the general
administrative departments.
Sisodia, had, thereafter,
issued a standing order (SO)
regarding the appointment of
special counsel to represent
the Delhi government. As per
the SO, prior concurrence of
the finance department and
approval of the LG was not
required for appointment of
special counsel and for
payment of their fee. The LG
had sought the ASG's opinion
on whether the SO was in
compliance with the
transaction of business rules
(TBR), GNCTD Act and other
relevant provisions.
On this, Jain has said that
the SO had to be approved by
the council of ministers and
then the LG as it would have
an effect on the finances of
Delhi, but this procedure was
not followed. He has also said
that the SO was issued in
order "to circumvent the law
department observations that
prior concurrence of the
finance department and
approval of the LG would be
required" for appointing
Jethmalani.

NATIONAL
Binod Kumar Singh
Mumbai Indian miniature
artist Suvigya Sharma makes a
new mark in history- does a
hyperreal portrait of Hon. PM
Narendra Modi and present it
to him at the Prime Minister’s
Office in Delhi. Suvigya is
India’s only artist renowned
for portrait miniature paint-
ings that he commissions for
his crème de la crème clientele
in the country and abroad.
The PM’s love for art is no
surprise as is evident in his
infamous tweet about art post-
ed earlier this year which read,
“Art can’t have any restric-
tions or limits.” The 34 year
old artist Suvigya dedicates
this painting to the ceaseless
spirit and vision of the Prime
Minister saying, “I have
adored Modiji for being a
visionary and taking our coun-
try towards becoming a global
super power through his
vision. The whole country
loves him and I could only
express my gratitude towards
him through my love- my art.”
The lifesize portrait is a
detailed (3.5 ft x 3 ft) hyperre-
al miniature painting with oil
on canvas, bears a calm
expression on the PM’s face,
conveying the artist’s attempt
at portraying him as a vision-
ary. The National Emblem
broach tucked onto the PMs
jacket in the painting is gilded
in 24 Kt gold. “It was a proud
moment when Modiji explicit-
ly expressed how much he
loved the painting. I was truly
heartened when he mentioned
that the painting will be placed
in his own cabin at his office”,
he says. Suvigya is an artist,
painter, fashion designer, does
miniature paintings, Tanjore
paintings, fresco work and
portraits. The art which he
pursues is perishing and has a
long history of over 2000
years attached to it. He's the
third generation artist and has
commissioned artworks for a
majority of industrial &
celebrity families in India and
the world including most
prominent names like the
Ambani Family, Mrs Rajshri
Birla, Binanis, Singhanias,
Burmans, Piramal family,
Sachin Tendulkar, Priyanka
Chopra, Rani Mukerji and
Kangana Ranaut.
During his meeting with
the PM, they discussed about
how miniature is a one of its
kind art form- its technique,
how it has been perishing and
how the artist has been striv-
ing to nurture and grow the
art. The PM also took keen
interest in knowing about
Suvigya’s aspirations about
transpiring his art to the weak-
er sections of the society and
creating opportunities for the
newer generations.
With this successful leap,
the artist looks forward for
affiliating with the govern-
ment to be representing, nur-
turing and promoting art and
culture. He aims at creating an
art ecosystem for the weaker
sections of the society through
training and skill develop-
ment. “India has great scope
for restoration of historic and
heritage buildings. Art, culture
and tourism are seamlessly
inter-connected. My genre of
art can be leveraged to gener-
ate more opportunities for the
underprivileged by creating
skilled artists and artisans in
our own country. I wish to
draw the attention of the
Ministry of Skill Development
and would consider myself
privileged to be able to con-
tribute towards this cause“,
adds Suvigya.
Notably, Suvigya was
recently in the news for com-
missioning a hyperreal portrait
for the international heartthrob
singer Justin Bieber and pre-
senting it to him during his
India Tour earlier this month.

NEW DELHI: Manipur
chief minister N Biren Singh
claimed on Sunday that he had
realized two of his key
missions to restore normalcy
in the state, within two months
of taking over. The first, he
said, was the lifting of the
135-day-old economic
blockade by Nagas in protest
against carving of new
districts by the erstwhile
government and second, the
burial of bodies of eight locals
killed in police firing at
Churachandpur in 2015 over
the inner line permit issue.
"When PM Narendra Modi
visited Manipur in the run-up
to the polls, he had requested
the people to vote for BJP,
promising in return that it
would deliver what the (Ibobi
Singh) government could not
do in 15 years, in 15 months. I
have taken this as a challenge.
I set out by trying to bridge the
gap between the hills and
valley people created by the
previous government. I
contacted some civil society
leaders and said I wanted to
talk to the protesters (behind
the economic blockade). I
promised them that the
government would tackle
anything but that, for the
moment, since people had
suffered a lot, they must lift
the blockade. And they
agreed," Singh told TOI in an
exclusive interaction here.
Asked what assurance was
given to Nagas on the new
districts, Singh, who heads the
first BJP government in the
state, insisted that no
assurance was held out. "Their
demand was that the newly
created districts be withdrawn.
But the government is
continuing with the same.
We cannot (agree to that).
We said whatever grievances
are the- re can be sorted out
through a series of
discussions. Two rounds of
talks have been held and now
there will a political
dialogue," he said. On the
second issue of non-burial of
bodies of police firing victims
in Churachandpur for the past
two years, Singh said he had
managed to persuade the
people to end the agitation by
offering compensation and
jobs to the next of kin, and
also by agreeing to examine
their demand for a new district
based on the report of the
district boundary committee.
The bodies were finally put to
rest last week. Singh further
said his government, to
encourage communication
between people of the hills
and the valley, had decided to
observe the Shirui Lily
festival, celebrated only by
Ukhrul, at the state level
starting this year. Also, his
government had sanctioned Rs
10 crore to open women's
markets in each hill district, on
the lines of the one in Imphal.
Achieved two key missions in 2
months, says Manipur CM

The three Pakistani nation-
als and Indian citizen
Mohammad Shihab who were
arrested on Wednesday night
in Bengaluru have been
remanded in police custody
for 15 days. They were taken
to investigation cells in the
Forensic Science Laboratory
(FSL) building in Madivala
where the Central Crime
Branch, along with teams
from central intelligence agen-
cies, questioned them sepa-
rately all through Friday.
Senior officer said, intelli-
gence agencies are conducting
separate enquiries to see if the
four are part of a terrorist out-
fit or a sleeper cell.So far, we
have learnt that the three
Pakistanis and the Indian, who
is from Kerala, planned to set-
tle down here as their respec-
tive parents are against their
marriages,But we are not rul-
ing out the possibility of the
suspects being a part of a
sleeper cell.The police had
arrested Shihab and his wife
Samira Abdul Rehman (25)
along with a married couple
— Kirhon Ghulam Ali (26)
and Khasif Shamshuddin (30)
for faking documents and liv-
ing illegally in Bengaluru. The
other three are from Karachi in
Pakistan.Investigative teams
are piecing together their daily
routine to find out who they
met, spoke to and called. “We
need to know if they commu-
nicated with people from other
countries, and if so, who? are
those and we cannot accept
their claims blindly we are
probing all angles and will
coordinate with the Kerala
police to find out the
antecedents of Muhammed
Shihab he added .
Bengaluru city police com-
missioner, Praveen Sood said
to media persons at the press
conference that our homicide
and burglary unit of the CCB
were tipped off a Tamilnadu
registration number is making
rounds in Kumarswamy lay-
out area and based on the cred-
ible information the team
swung into action and illegal
stay of Pakistani nationals
matter came to light when our
CCB sleuths were investigat-
ing a car theft and traced it to
Shihab. Although Shihab
claimed the owner of the car,
Hari Prasad, owed him money,
further investigations led them
to the Pakistani trio including
Samira living illegally in
Bengaluru. Immediately our
team rounded the whole area
of the appartment and our
sleuths then raided the appart-
ment and zeroed in on four
persons.
During the interrogation,
Shihab told cops he met
Samira in Muscat, Oman
while he was employed there
over a year ago. They fell in
love and wanted to marry.
However Samira's family in
Karachi was opposed the mar-
riage.Interestingly, Samira's
cousin Kirhon was in a rela-
tionship with Khasif.It was
opposition to their marriage
from their respective families
that drove the two away from
Pakistan, the trio told cops that
they managed to leave Karachi
and boarded a plane to Qatar.
From there they went to
Muscat in Oman. They board-
ed another plane in Muscat to
Kathmandu, Nepal. Between
Nepal and India, the border is
open, it’s mostly unmanned,
people can cross anytime, and
natives of the two countries
are not even required to have a
passport to cross by land. This
worked for the four. Shihab
boarded a flight from
Bengaluru and was waiting for
the trio in Kathmandu. They
then crossed over to India and
reached Patna in Bihar. From
Patna, they took a train to
Bengaluru.Expecting resist-
ance to his marriage from his
family, Shihab came to
Bengaluru,and rented a house
at Kumaraswamy Layout.In
the rental agreement, the
women had changed their
names -- Kirhon to Kiran and
Samira to Najma.They used
these altered names for their
Indian identification docu-
ments,Besides their Pakistani
passports, the trio was found
to be in possession of Indian
voter identity and Aadhar
cards.We have arrested these
four persons under various
section of Passport Act, con-
spiracy and creation of false
document, misrepresentation
etc. Interrogation is going on
not only by state police but
also by central agencies to ver-
ify all the information given
by them, and finally

Pakistani nationals have
been previously detained try-
ing to cross over to India from
Nepal. In 2016, five Pakistani
nationals including three chil-
dren were held by the
Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB)
while trying to enter India.
They had Pakistani passports
and had reached Kathmandu
with a Nepali visa. They were
on their way to Kashmir. In
2015, a Pakistani national
Javed Kamal, who claimed to
be an agricultural scientist,
was stopped by the SSB. He
reached Nepal via Bangkok,
Thailand, and tried entering
India by crossing the border
on Nepali visa.

PUNE: Defence Minister
Arun Jaitley on Sunday batted
for making India a defence
manufacturing hub, saying it
is essential to deal with vari-
ous security challenges like
insurgency effectively. No
country can secure itself by
depending on others for its
defence supplies, the minister
said amid steps by the govern-
ment to bring in private play-
ers in the sector. "We cannot
change our neighbours. And
our neighbourhood has thrown
up security challenges. We are
facing insurgency and war for
the last 70 years. Therefore,
India needs to become an
important defence manufac-
turing hub," he said at the 9th
convocation of the Defence
Institute of Advance
Technology (DIAT). "If the
economy requires us to
become a manufacturing hub,
then security requires us to
become a hub for defence
manufacturing. This is the
area where the country will
have to use the vast resources
it possesses. "We will have to
use the large number of aca-
demic institutions we have for
training minds and cover up
the critical gap that still
exists," Jaitley said. The coun-
try has institutions like IITs,
DRDO labs and a large num-
ber of private institutes which
can help it achieve the goal,
the minister said. In a veiled
attack on the previous UPA
government, he said the "con-
servative policies" of the past
have hindered progress in the
field of defence manufactur-
ing.
"But the new India is a
more confident India, it is not
the defensive India. It is India,
which is willing to globally
integrate, share knowledge,
get knowledge from outside,"
he said. Build defense manu-
facturing economic zones!
Tax exemptions for produc-
tions! Work income tax
exemptions for workers!
Stimulate production! The
government has broken away
from the restrictive past to
achieve the goal of self-
reliance in defence, he said. A
total of 134 graduating stu-
dents of the DIAT, an
autonomous organisation
under the DRDO, were award-
ed degrees on the occasion.
Arun Jaitley Said -Need to make
India defence manufacturing hubNEW DELHI: Punjab's
Pathankot was put on alert on
Monday after police found a
suspicious bag near Mamun
Army cantonment last night, a
police official said.
A local resident informed
the police about the bag yes-
terday following which the
search operation was conduct-
ed in Pathankot city and
Mamoon Cantonment here.
"We conducted a search
operation along with army
officials here to look for any
suspicious person," the offi-
cial said. "Five shirts and two
trousers were found in a wheat
flour bag at a secluded place
near the Defence Road here,"
the official said.
In 2015, three heavily-
armed terrorists wearing
Army fatigues, had hijacked a
car and stormed a police sta-
tion in Dinanagar town of
Gurdaspur district. They
killed seven persons, includ-
ing a Superintendent of
Police, before they were
gunned down. Pak army
would never give up its dirty
game. Indian army must be
alert to it all the Last year, four
terrorists who had sneaked in
from across the border had
attacked the Pathankot Air
Base+ on the intervening
night of January 1 and 2,
claiming the lives of seven
security personnel.

even before the Ambulance
arrives providing “Basic Life
Support” (BLS). The first
hour after an incident is
called the Golden Hour
which is the most critical
time when intervention will
give best results.
Aster Emergency App is a
user-friendly application that
navigates you to get access to
Basic Life Support help, in
case of a medical emergency.
The App is the link between
the patient, the responder, the
ambulance and ultimately the
hospital. At the press of an
icon, the trained certified
responder, who can deal with
emergencies at the ground
level can be accessed by sup-
port of the backend control
center.
The app is also equipped
with information on handling
some medical emergencies,
emergency numbers and
other useful tips. Features of
the App include - User
Registration, Incident
Reporting and Request an
Ambulance,
The App also includes a
View & Track for real-time
status of the incidents by all
stake holders. Seamless
google maps integration to
reach task location. The Aster
Emergency App is rolled out
in a phased manner starting
from today at Calicut in
Kerala post the Nation-wide
launch at New Delhi.
Prior to the App’s launch
on May 25, 2017, a delega-
tion led by Dr Moopen and
accompanied by Ministers
and MPs, briefed the
Honourable President of
India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee
regarding the App. The
President appreciated the ini-
tiative and gave his blessings.
Dr. Moopen said, “This is
a new approach using tech-
nology to handle healthcare.
Every single day there are
innumerable emergency
calls/situations that arise in
India. It might take an ambu-
lance more than half an hour
to reach the patient which is a
critical period. With this App,
it is possible to provide Basic
Life Support guidance during
the Golden Hour immediate-
ly. My wish is that this App
should be functional success-
fully in the entire country. We
look forward to launching
this App across India in asso-
ciation with interested health-
care organizations, NGOs
and Government Agencies.
This is a neutral, not for prof-
it initiative to save lives and
we are ready to share the
technology and support any-
one interested to take this
up.”

Beti Padhao Hosted “Coffee with Maa-An Ode To Motherhood
Honey Sehgal
The Drama begins with a Muslim family having suffered
painful displacement of partition is migrated from Lucknow
to a Haveli vacated by a departing Hindu family in Lahore.
They find an old Hindu woman still living in that Haveli.
She refuses to be robbed of her home. This Hindu woman has
lost her son and family in the riots that followed the partition
of nation in 1947. The play is set in the city of Lahore and
around the time of the partition. Many lives were lost and
many families were separated overnight and despite the pas-
sage of more than sixty two years, those wounds are still
fresh. The play deals with this delicate subject very sensitive-
ly. The play focuses on a Muslim family, the Mirza’s from
Lucknow, who flee to Lahore after the partition takes place.
They were allotted a Haveli erstwhile owned by a famous
Hindu Jeweler’s family, who was probably killed in the car-
nage. However, their matriarch "Mai' (old Hindu lady) still
survives, and continues living in the Haveli, unnoticed by the
looting goons, when the Mirza’s arrive. A clash over the
ownership of the Haveli ensues, and gradually the entire
neighborhood gets involved. In the end, "Mai' wins over the
Mirza family and other neighbor’s affection. They all with
the help of their Poet neighbor and the local Priest (who
preaches a tolerant Islam), rally around her and protect her
from the local goons. There are many serious questions
raised by this play. The biggest being, was all the bloodshed
and trauma of the partition necessary or even justified?
The audience gets haunted by this thought.

Sicily: Seven wealthy
democracies have
reached a deal at their
annual summit to give
the Trump administra-
tion time to tell them
whether the United
States plans to stay in
the Paris climate agree-
ment, a source close to
the summit said
Saturday. Six members
of the Group of Seven
would stick with their
endorsement of the
2015 Paris deal to rein
in greenhouse gas emis-
sions and await a deci-
sion from the US, said
the source who spoke
on condition of
anonymity to discuss
the matter before the
formal announcement.
The source added that
G-7 members were still
wrestling over a state-
ment on trade and
whether it would con-
demn protectionism, as
previous group state-
ments have. The last G-
7 meeting in Ise-Shima,
Japan in 2016 agreed to
"fight all forms of pro-
tectionism," or the use
of import taxes and reg-
ulations to favor
domestic producers
over imports. US
President Donald
Trump has pushed back
against earlier such
statements and has
argued trade must be
balanced and fair as
well as free. His
Treasury secretary,
Steven Mnuchin, has
said the United States
reserves the right to be
protectionist if trade
arrangements are unfair
to US companies and
workers.

12. New Delhi, – On the
occasion of ‘World Hunger
Day’, The Akshaya Patra
Foundation, in partnership
with GSK Consumer
Healthcare, Nestlé, PepsiCo
India, PVR Nest, Reliance
Fresh, Facebook, The LaLiT,
Reliance Broadcast Networks
Ltd. & Viacom 18 and the
Government of India flagged
off a movement to raise
awareness about importance
of nourishment amongst
children & its impetus to
education. Christened as ‘Feed
The Future Now’, this
movement is set to serve 5
billion meals to children
across India by 2020 with a
view to create a ‘Poshit
Bharat, Shikshit Bharat.’
The movement was
flagged off by Hon’ble
Minister for Women & Child
Development, Smt. Maneka
Sanjay Gandhi. The launch
was graced by Mr. Shridhar
Venkat, Chief Executive
Officer, The Akshaya Patra
Foundation along with the
CEOs and senior
representatives of nine leading
corporate partners. At the
launch, each partner pledged
to drive initiatives that raise
mass awareness about need
for the right nourishment
amongst children. To meet key
global nutrition milestones,
future growth requires
significant investments critical
to ensure school going
children don’t drop out due to
direct and indirect impact of
hidden hunger and
micronutrient deficiency.
Raising awareness on the
issue of child malnourishment,
Maneka Sanjay Gandhi, said,
“I congratulate the Akshaya
Patra Foundation for the
launch of this movement.
They are one of a kind
institution in the world and are
doing great service.
Malnutrition is one of those
issues that require urgent
attention. The focus should
not be on feeding just food,
but providing a nutritious
meal. I believe children should
be provided packets that
contain 600-1000 calories and
nutrients and urge the Akshaya
Patra Foundation to take up
this initiative. I will
wholeheartedly support you
and take this initiative to all
states. I congratulate all the
corporates today for
partnering with this cause and
I am sure you will achieve
great results through this
movement”
The Akshaya Patra
Foundation’s CEO, Shridhar
Venkat said, “We are very
thankful to all our partners
especially the Government of
India (GoI) who have come
together today to raise
awareness about the growing
need to ensure children are
well nourished at the age of 0
– 12 years and join us in our
mission to serve 5 billion
meals by 2020. Food is not
charity. Food is life. Setting a
child on a proper course with
good daily nutrition and the
ability to attend and succeed in
school is our collective social
responsibility and one which
reaps unlimited rewards as
new generations grow and
thrive.”
Pledging their support for
the cause, Mr. Manoj Kumar,
Managing Director, GSK
Consumer Healthcare said,
“‘Feed the Future Now’
resonates well with GSK’s
core philosophy of do more,
feel better and live longer. In
India, where 9 out of 10
children are micro-nutrient
deficient, this partnership that
aims to provide nutritious
meal to children will
definitely help nurture the
future of our children. Under
this partnership, GSK will
provide nutritious meals to
over 50,000 children. In
addition, under ‘Mission
Health’, our CSR programme,
we have taken on us the task
of educating and building
awareness around micro-
nutrient deficiency among
children. We are currently
reaching out to over 150,000
children in the country.”
Mr. Damodar Mall, Chief
Executive Officer, Reliance
Fresh also supporting this
cause, said: “We are pleased to
be ground partners for the
‘Feed the Future Now’
initiative with The Akshaya
Patra Foundation. In our stores
and on our communication
platforms, we will take the
message of this movement, to
millions of our customers.
Jointly with our customers, we
are happy to help ensure
hunger does not come in the
way of good education!”
Joining hands with the
movement, Mr.Sanjay
Khajuria, Senior Vice-
President, Corporate Affairs,
Nestlé India, said, “Nutrition
is an important focus area for
Nestlé. It has been our
endeavour at Nestlé to
contribute to nutritional
education. Our flagship
nutrition awareness
programme, ‘Nestlé Healthy
Kids’ aims to ensure
adolescents adopt appropriate
nutrition and physical activity
habits, which are important for
their development and
learning ability. We believe
that it is imperative for
stakeholders to join hands in
the journey towards building a
nutritionally empowered
society. We at Nestlé are
committed to contribute
towards alleviating the
challenge of malnutrition and
believe that if we work
together. We pledge our
commitment to ‘Feed the
Future Now’ movement for a
Nourished India, Educated
India!
Adding more insights, Ms.
Poonam Kaul, Vice-President,
Communications & Corporate
Social Responsibility, PepsiCo
India noted, "The fundamental
issue of malnutrition and
hunger amongst our young
children threatens to derail our
progress and economic
ambitions for the future. As a
responsible leader, PepsiCo's
‘Performance with Purpose’
vision focuses on creating a
healthier relationship between
people and food, and to
achieve this, we are
transforming our product
portfolio around Nutrition. At
the same time, we are
committed to providing access
to at least three billion
servings of nutritious foods
and beverages to underserved
communities and consumers
globally by 2025 In India, we
started the Quaker Feed a
Child program last year, with
our partner Smile Foundation,
as part of our concentrated
efforts to address the problem
of malnutrition among
children. As our flagship
Nutrition brand, Quaker
pledged half a million
nutritious meals to
underprivileged children in
the country last year. We are
happy to join the ‘Feed the
Future Now’ initiative with a
commitment to continue our
efforts to alleviate the issue of
hunger and malnutrition
through various initiatives in
the area of nutrition."
Speaking about the need
for addressing classroom
hunger, Ms. Sonia Huria
Gupta, Senior Vice-President,
Corporate Social
Responsibility, Viacom18
said: “According to the
UNESCO Institute of
Statistics 2016 report, every
year 47 million Indian
children drop out of schools
by the time they reach 10th
standard. There has been
direct correlation between
dropping out of schools and
classroom hunger. At
Viacom18, we believe that
education is the key to unlock
India’s true potential and it is
the future generation that
needs to be equipped and
nurtured today. We are
delighted to partner with the
Akshaya Patra Foundation for
the ‘Feed the Future Now’
movement.”
Mr. Tarun Katyal, CEO,
Reliance Broadcast Networks
Ltd, said, “We reach out to a
wide set of audiences across
the country. In the past, we
have leveraged this reach to
spread awareness and bring
various social causes to light,
which resonates with our
positioning of 'Suno Sunao
Life Banao'. Taking this
forward, we are now
partnering with The Akshaya
Patra Foundation, with an aim
to focus on the issue of 'world
hunger' through their 'Feed the
Future Now' movement. By
virtue of this association, we
hope to highlight the
relevance of this issue in
India, by motivating our
listeners to take cognizance of
its seriousness and support it
collectively as a society.”
Commenting on the
movement, Ms. Deepa
Menon, Senior Vice President
(Corporate Communications
& CSR), PVR Ltd, said,
“Nutrition and development
are interlinked. Therefore,
being a socially sensitive
organisation, PVR is
supporting ‘Feed the Future
Now’ initiative through the
use of its physical
infrastructure. The initiative is
also in sync with the ethos of
PVR Nest, which concentrates
its efforts towards
m a i n s t r e a m i n g
underprivileged children and
restoring confidence among
them by investing on
education, health & nutrition,
skill development and
employability through our
‘Childscapes’ program.” With
support of our partners, Feed
The Future Now assets were
unveiled at the launch which
included movement logo,
w e b s i t e

awareness video and anthem.
Based on three pillars –
Awareness, Nutrition and
Education, the campaign will
create a rallying call-to-action
and promote policy advocacy
as well as behavioural change
on the twin issues of nutrition
and education.

FEED THE FUTURE NOW LAUNCHED IN A LANDMARK
CEREMONY ON THE EVE OF ‘WORLD HUNGER DAY’
14. 14 29 May- 4 June, 2017
BUSINESS
CHENNAI: As luxury carmakers
step on the gas to pass on GST benefits
to customers, buyers of top car brands
can look forward to 4-6% mark downs
or price reductions to the tune of Rs 1.5
lakh-Rs 7 lakh for models assembled in
India.
While some carmakers are awaiting
further clarity on GST, a clutch of luxe
automakers are already announcing
markdowns and special benefits to
spice up the market.
Mercedes-Benz India has
announced that the transactional price
of its entire locally assembled model
range will decrease by 4% on "weight-
ed average" with immediate effect.
Read this story in Gujarati
Price reduction will, however, vary
from state to state between 2% and 9%
as it will be "dependent on current tax
structure and local body taxes com-
pared to new GST structure", said a
company statement.
Given that this will mean customers
withholding their purchase till the GST
benefits kick in, the company is pass-
ing on "the transactional benefits to
customers at an earlier stage to drive
value in their purchase decisions".
The price benefit will cover all
India-assembled models, including the
GLA, C-Class, E-Class, SClass, GLC,
GLE, GLS and Mercedes-Maybach S
500.
Arch-rival BMW pipped it to GST
rush offering reduced rate of interest at
7.9%, complimentary 3 years' service
and maintenance, complimentary one-
year insurance and assured buyback for
up to four years in addition to GST
benefits.
The offer, which the company said
is for a limited period, is expected to
ensure that customers don't withhold
their purchase till the GST rollout.
Vikram Pawah, president of BMW
Group India, said, "BMW is the fastest
to offer preponed GST benefits to our
customers much before the rollout of
GST itself. Our customers will enjoy
value-enhanced benefits such as a
lower rate of interest, assured buyback
and complementary service and insur-
ance in addition to the GST benefits."
Others like Jaguar-Land Rover
have announced a price reduction on
three of its models. The Discovery
Sport, which earlier cost Rs 47.88 lakh
(ex-Delhi) is now down to Rs 43.80
lakh.
The Range Rover Evoque is down
from Rs 49.10 lakh to Rs 45.85 lakh
and the Jaguar XE from Rs 39.90 lakh
to Rs 37.25 lakh. The just-launched XE
diesel has also worked in the new price
dynamics being launched at a lower
price range beginning at Rs 38.25 lakh.
JLR assembles five models in India —
the Jaguar XE, XF, XJ, Discovery
Sport and the Range Rover Evoque.
Not all brands are toasting the GST
windfall. Some like Toyota are unhap-
py about the rise in tax on hybrids
given that the Lexus range for India are
mostly hybrids. On its Fortuner range
though the GST effect will lead to 5-
6% price reduction when the tax struc-
ture is officially rolled out.
BENGALURU: States in the
US are looking to roll out the
red carpet for Indian IT services
companies, with Indiana offer-
ing more than Rs 200 crore ($31
million) in incentives to Infosys
as it looks to drum up jobs in the
sector.
The state plans to woo more
Indian IT companies, which
need to boost local hires given
the political sensitivity over H-
1B visas and immigration under
President Donald Trump. The
incentives being dangled —
mostly in the form of tax abate-
ments and one-time grants —
are financed by development
funds created by most US states.
Indiana is offering Infosys
one of the largest incentive
packages it has ever handed out,
more than covering the compa-
ny's cost of setting up its centre.
Infosys said it will spend about
$8.7 million to lease and equip
its office space in the state.
Indiana's incentives are in the
form of conditional tax grants
and training grants.
"States, cities and counties
can all offer incentives. The idea
is to pick places that offer incen-
tives and has a local college net-
work that can provide talent that
is cost-effective and can be
trained. We aren't going to be
hiring from Stanford or MIT,"
an IT executive told ET.
The Infosys deal took a few
months to hammer out, Indiana
governor Eric Holcomb said in a
statement. Holcomb is also
planning a trip to India to sell
his state to other IT companies,
he said. The Indiana Economic
Development Corporation plans
to offer up to $15,250 in condi-
tional tax credits for each job the
company creates and up to
$500,000 in training grants.
If the company hires all
planned 2,000 workers, the
maximum total incentives from
the state would be $31million. A
second IT executive said com-
panies were talking to states
where they already have an out-
post such as Texas to negotiate
incentives to expand there.
Companies like L&T Infotech
have said they would look to
boost their headcount in the tri-
state area, which includes New
York, New Jersey and
Connecticut.
"Midwest states are general-
ly more aggressive in holding
out incentives because they
haven't seen the kind of job cre-
ation that states like New York
and California have," said
Ganesh Natarajan, chairman of
skill development platform 5F
World.
"So this is typically a negoti-
ation — if you can say you will
bring 1,000 jobs to that city,
then you can have a good stand-
ing," said Natarajan, the former
CEO of Zensar Technologies
Raman Roy, chairman of
industry body Nasscom, said the
incentives had nothing to do
with the H-1B visas and were
related to the jobs that the IT
industry creates.
CATALYTIC EFFECT
"There was a study that
shows that for every one job that
is directly created, there are five
or six indirect jobs," he said.
"States understand that this has a
catalytic effect. But companies
won't set up in states just for
incentives, there has to be a
business case." To be sure, the
incentives will not mitigate all
of the increased cost of hiring
onsite. "The cost structure onsite
is higher.
The incentives are a small
drop in the bucket because just
the wages, even for the freshers,
will distort the margin," an ana-
lyst with a Mumbaibased bro-
kerage told ET. Receiving
incentives to set up centres in
the US is not new. Cognizant
also got these in 2014 when it
expanded its centre in Tampa,
Florida. But incentives will
become increasingly important.
Unlike India, where IT compa-
nies control where they deploy
employees, in the US, they will
have to build centres across the
country as they look at attracting
Americans to work with them.
"One of the key reasons we were
not able to attract many local
hires is location certainty. For
example, we expect our employ-
ees who come on visas to move
from one location to another as
and when projects get complet-
ed, which does not give location
certainty to a local hire," MD
Ranganath, chief financial offi-
cer at Infosys, told analysts in
April. "So there is a local reluc-
tance on their part to join us
because they want to be at a par-
ticular location."
Cognizant president Rajeev
Mehta told ET that the company
would count on its roots in local
communities like Tampa to
attract an increasing number of
American workers
