1. NAI bureau
D e l h i : N e w s p a p e r s
Association of India (NAI)
which represents the
press at the grass roots
level in almost all lan-
guages and territories of
the country, and which
constitutes the core of
the press community in
this country since its
inception in 1993, has
endeavoured to bring the
Small and Medium news-
papers and media organ-
ization from the length
and breadth of our great
country together under
the ambit of one plat-
form. Until now we were
successful in bringing
together approximately
8000 such entities as
active members under
our umbrella. These
newspapers are pub-
lished in Hindi, English
and other vernacular lan-
guages. Together they
enjoy a reach to every
nook and corner of the
country. Our association
actively takes up matters
relating to the difficulties
being faced by the pub-
lishers of these newspa-
pers and also dissemi-
nates information useful
to them from time to
time.
The Conference would
be focusing on the role
that the regional newspa-
pers play in the strength-
ening of this World’s
largest democracy. The
emphasis would be on
how the regional news-
papers strengthen our
democratic institutions
with adherence to secu-
lar credentials.
The strength of our
democracy lies in the
dissemination of informa-
tion and these regional
and vernacular language
newspapers with their
reach deep in the hinter-
land can and plays an
effective role in the prop-
agation of democratic
ideas and advantages of
people power.

slow process of handling
the case has affected this
judicial system very
much.Apart from the three
level of courts, we have
been facilitated by fast
track courts. These courts
are given unrealistic targets
of cases to finish.They
have been told they ought
not get involved in too
much technality,and that
broadly if they get a feeling
that a person is guilty,then
declare him guilty and if he
is innocent,then declare
him innocent.''But that's not
how the criminal justice
system works.It requires
care and
attention.Decisions are not
made on the basis of
hunches and guess
work,which is what the fast
track courts turned out to
be.Our judiciary is too slow
as it takes at least 2-3
years for handling a high-
lighted case and the nor-
mal cases take 10-15 years
to solve. Fast track
courts got a new lease of
life after the 16 December
2012 gang rape as the cul-
prits of this case was given
punishment which they
deserved. But a lot of
cases needs fast decisions
as the victims should not
suffer.Mohammad Naved is
the first alive terrorist
caught in India after Ajmal
Kasab,the Mumbai attacker
of 26/11.The terrorist has
killed two BSF soldiers,and
is least remorseful and on
the contrary says that he
killed for fun. Our judiciary
spent 22 years in hanging
Yakub Memon.So,has the
time not arrived that we
should constitute fast track
courts for hanging caught
terrorists like Naved in the
shortest possible time?
It's true that''justice delayed
is justice denied and at the
same time justice hurried is
justice buried''.So,let's
come together and let the
government to think over
it....
Why fast track courts,too slow
BJPVs CongressVaishnavi Singh
INC, often called Congress, is one of two major politi-
cal parties in India, the other being Bharatiya Janata
Party ( BJP). Congress is one of the largest and oldest
democratically run political parties in the world. The
organisation got established in the year 1885.
Bharatiya Janta Party as of 2014, it is the country's
largest political party in terms of representation in the
national parliament and state assemblies and it is the
world's largest party in terms of primary membership.
The party has emerged from a former party known as
Bharatiya Jana Singh in the year 1980. The two parties
are different on their basic ideology, yet they are con-
sidered similar or bigger issues like economic and for-
eign policy.
As Congress, it was the leading party in India from 10
years. It puts more emphasis on uplifting socially
underprivileged section of the society, historically
Congress has advocated in favour of farmers, labour-
ers, labour unions, and religious and ethnic minority.
This makes Congress very strong in the rural India
which makes the most of the country.
Congress strictly follows the principal of secularism
and claims to fight against polarising elements and
communal forces.
As BJP remains committed to Hindutva. It believes
Hindutva should be the cultural identity of India, and
oppose westernization of the country. Political rivals
claim BJP as communal for having such ideology.
However, BJP disconnects Hindutva and believes this
cultural identity extends to eveey religion in the coun-
try.
At present it is believed that beside the general differ-
ences there is no solid difference in the economic poli-
cies of the two parties.
However, BJP is considered Slightly right of centre and
Congress is considered slightly left of the centre. No
party has extreme views though, and sometimes their
views overlaps and sometimes their views are contra-
dictory as well.
Yes ‘illiteracy’ , you must be shocked to hear that
,but this is a very integral reason behind water
scarcity which is not overviewed and do not
given importance.
So I want to make you people understand that ‘
how does illiteracy of minority of people effects
all of us ! ’
In my locality (uttam nagar east ). Everyday
when I come to metro station. I see some chil-
dren bathing or you can say literally wasting
water, they play and throw water on each other
,do silly things and on top of it their guaradians.
They do not scold them or don’t even try to make
them understand. Instead of it was heard saying
“ 8 baje paani chala jaega , ache se naha lo “.
This is the condition .
So what I basically want to say is , if these chil-
dren have been going to school then they must
have had that much amount of knowledge.
Knowledge about how important water is for us.
How precious it is.
But NO ! unfortunately this do not happen and
the more sad part is instead of sending their chil-
dren to school. Their so called guardians , make
them beggars and train them new-new tech-
niques ,how to beg ( you all must have experi-
enced ).
So , there can be two solutions to this : -
1st. Educate those people. But this will cost a lot
of time due to our population.
2nd. Reduce the supply of water in such areas
,so automatically they will use water judiciously
and give that water to areas who are carving for
this precious resource.
But the main & big problem is “ who cares “.

question of having a vote. It
consists of strengthening
each citizen’s possibility and
capacity to participate in the
deliberations involved in life in
s o c i e t y .

India, that is, BHARAT a
country that has grown by
breaking its own shackles and
fighting the problems that
holded it back. A nation that
has not merely grown in num-
bers but also has the maxi-
mum youngest human
resources in the world. India,
with its four pillars standing
upright and sharing the
responsibilities of this largest
democracy, the country wit-
nesses its citizens playing a
proactive role by not only pro-
viding a rockbed to all these
pillars but also acting as a
sleuth or a monitor, ensuring
the proper functioning of
these four foundations on
which the very spirit of the
Indian democracy is laid.
Journalism, for all its sporadic
spire pretensions, stands
awkwardly in a discussion
about managers of this Indian
democracy. Journalism is not
supposed to be about the
stewardship, that is, a kind of
salvation or any moral man-
agement. It does not suggest
that stewards, like fathers,
“know best” about the very
concept and domain of
“objective journalism” , rather
it is about the notion that the
citizens know the best and
that the journalists are only
providing the parts and assis-
tance for the pre-cut for the
citizens to assemble them-
selves with their thoughts,
opinions and expressions.
Hence, this fourth pillar of the
Indian democracy, known to
be the watchdog of this
largest democratic setup has
another watchdog, an evalua-
tor to assess its role and func-
tioning ,that is, WE THE PEO-
PLE OF INDIA.
Citizen journalism is a journal-
ism for democracy. It is a par-
ticipatory form of journalism
based on the concept of user
generated content where a
common man,the citizen of
the country, takes up the ini-
tiative to report things and
instances of importance or
express his views about hap-
penings around him. It is
based upon the very idea of
the general public playing an
active role in the process of
collecting, reporting,
analysing, and disseminating
news and information. This
information or news can be
related to the matter of con-
cerns,issue of national impor-
tance or any thing that effects
the citizens directly or indi-
rectly. By dictionary, the con-
cept of citizen journalism is
known as "public", "participa-
tory", "democratic", "guerrilla"
or "street" journalism which is
based on the basic concept of
public citizens "playing an
active role in the process of
collecting, reporting, analyz-
ing, and disseminating news
and information." Citizen
Journalists are not bound by
the conventional term of a
journalist and hence with all
their courage take up the
issues and express their opin-
ions, raise voices if required
against any issue even ques-
tioning the policy makers.
Citizen journalism in such a
democratic setup involves the
active engagement of the
audiences in the news
process allowing them for
more diverse, varied, and
original storytelling derived by
their personal experiences
and opinions formulated on
any particular issue. It opens
up the venue for the public
sermons because it amplifies
the discussions that might
had been otherwise ignored
or overlooked.

Delhi/ NCR
Delhi: Amid sprouting of a
multitude of start-ups, the
MSMEs (Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises) sec-
tor appears to be on the
cusp of sharp growth with
the government’s plans
aimed at giving a fillip to the
sector start unfolding slow-
ly and steadily.
With an eye on the MSMEs
potential-contributing eight
per cent of the country’s
GDP- the Centre has
recently announced a slew
of schemes for ease of
business. India is expected
to emerge as one of the
leading economies in the
world and is poised to out-
pace 7.3 per growth of last
fiscal as per assessment of
the Finance Ministry. Much
of this growth is expected
to come from the MSMEs
which is acting as the key
driver.
MSMEs at present account
for approximately 50% of
GDP in the developed
countries creating 45% of
overall employment. In
India, it plays a crucial role
in the GDP and employs
106 million people in the
workforce. The sector,
which accounts for 40 per
cent of total exports and 45
per cent of the manufactur-
ing output, has 361.76 lakh
enterprises and out of
which 15.64 lakh are regis-
tered. Steps have been ini-
tiated to simplify business
inter-alia Aadhaar Udyog

tion of MSMEs, framework

Programme (PMEGP)
scheme. Though several
industrialists running the
enterprises have aired their
concerns on handicaps in
way of fast growth of the
MSMEs, Minister of MSME
Kalraj Mishra exudes confi-
dence that the sector would
clock a steep growth. The
Government has got “very
good response” with the
recently launched simpli-
fied Aadhaar-based regis-
tration system for MSME
sector. Within a short peri-
od 800, registrations have
been received under the
scheme.
PMEGP employment of
about 118,196 people have
been generated during
2015-16 and Mr Mishra
laced his optimism with
spike in Khadi sales and
gradual restoration of its
popularity. The Khadi and
Village industries has hit
record growth of 17.55 %
during last one year
–October 2014-15.
Under the Udyog Aadhaar
Memorandum (UAM) for
registration of MSMES, the
ministry has notified a sim-
ple one page registration
form last month drafted
after consultations with
states and stakeholders.
The form, “Udyog Aadhaar”
was made after consulta-
tions with the states and
stakeholders. Its salient
features are single page

friendly; self-certification;
more than one Udyog

MissionIndradhanush:Aimingtoexpandfullimmunizationcoveragetomorethan90%Delhi:The Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, Government of India has launched
Mission Indradhanush on 25 December,
2014 as a special nationwide initiative to
vaccinate all unvaccinated and partially vac-
cinated children under the Universal
Immunization Programme and sustain it by
health system strengthening by 2020.
201 High Focus Districts
The Mission focuses on interventions to
expand full immunization coverage in
India from 65% in 2014 to at least
90% children in the next five
years. This will be done through
special catch-up campaigns to rap-
idly increase full immunization
coverage of children by 5%
and more annually.
The programme provides immu-
nization against seven life-threat-
ening diseases (diphtheria, whoop-
ing cough, tetanus, polio, tuberculosis,
measles and hepatitis B) in the entire
country. In addition, vaccination against
Heamophilus influenza type B and
Japanese Encephalitis is provided in select
districts/states.
AREAS UNDER FOCUS
The first phase of Mission Indradhanush started
from 7th April 2015, also celebrated as World
Health Day. A concerted drive was car-
ried on for a week or more (as the ground
situation demanded) in the identified districts for
four consecutive months till July 2015, starting
from 7th of each month.
For the first phase, the Health Ministry iden-
tified 201 districts with the highest
number of partially vaccinated
and unvaccinated children.
These are termed as the high
focus districts. Nearly 50% of all
unvaccinated or partially vaccinat-
ed children are found in these
201 districts. 82 districts of
these are concentrated in the
f o u r
states
of Uttar
P r a d e s h ,
Bihar, Madhya
Pradesh and
Rajasthan and nearly
25% of the unvaccinated
or partially vaccinated chil-
dren of India are in these dis-
tricts. These districts were tar-
geted for intensive efforts to
improve the routine immu-
nization coverage in the coun-
try. The ultimate goal is to pro-
tect all children and pregnant
women against vaccine preventable
diseases in India.
In the second phase of Mission Indradhanush,
352 districts have been selected including 279
mid priority districts, 33 from the North East
states (from phase one where activity was post-
poned) and 40 districts from phase one where
large number of missed out children were
detected. The second phase commenced from
7th October, 2015. This will be followed by
weeklong intensified immunization drives for
three consecutive months, starting from
7th November and 7th December
2015 and 7th January 2016.
Within the districts, the Mission will
focus on the 400,000 high risk settle-
ments identified by the polio eradication
programme. These are the pockets with low
coverage due to geographic, demographic,
ethnic and other operational challenges.
Evidence has shown that most of the unvacci-
nated and partially vaccinated children are con-
centrated in these areas.
The following areas will be targeted through
special immunization campaigns:
High risk areas identified by the polio eradica-
tion programme. These include populations liv-
ing in areas such as:
o Urban slums with migration
o Nomads
o Brick kilns
o Construction sites
Other migrants (fisherman villages, riverine
areas with shifting populations etc.) and
o Underserved and hard to reach populations
(forested and tribal populations etc.)

The busy avenue road was piled up with huge
garbage on the main road and it was causing
problem to the shopkeepers as book sellers
garbage was seen in apathy and in pathetic con-
dition tones of garbage was seen on busy
avenue road as the garbage was uncleared from
past 10 days after media reported the issue then
also the officers dint bucked up not the
Corporator and engineers tried to clear the
garbage angry shop keepers and dozens of
school children came out from the school and
blocked the traffic on avenue road with Pro
Kannada activist as Karnataka Rakshana Vedike
members were also seen protesting against
BBMP, as soon as the protestors shown their
anger immediately traffic and law and order
police of Chickpet rushed to spot, Chickpet
inspector Vasanth Kumar of law and order with
sub inspectors and staff rushed to spot for no
untoward incident happened, Chickpet Traffic
inspector Satheesh Kumar with his staff as
yogesh, and Manjunath driver immediately
rushed to spot and were seen clearing garbage
on the road to make way for commuters, they
controlled the situation and traffic was blocked
for about 1 hour and more in Avenue road from
market circle towards Mysore Bank circle, due to
protest traffic snarls were seen at SJP Park
Road, Mysore bank, City Market circle, B V K
Iyengar road A S Char Street, K G Road and sur-
rounding areas after few hours traffic was
restored.
Students and shop owners were seen protesting
due to massive garbage piled up on roads imme-
diately BBMP officials rushed to spot and were
taken to task by the shop owners .
Daily 50 tonnes of garbage is being cleared from
avenue road due to festival it is increased to 90
tonnes so it was cleared and the trucks in the
dumping yards are not being allowed so the
garbage is not cleared says Bbmp officials
.Mounding Garbage Bbmp Officials seen blind :
Mamatha Devi a student said we can't do any-
thing in the school, not even eat our food
because of the overpowering stench from the
garbage. M Shivalingaiah, School Principal said
I have been asking the BBMP not to dump
garbage in front of our school for the past few
weeks but they have ignored it. We have over 60
students but half of them are not coming
because they've fallen sick. I have written to the
concerned Palike officials and even told them
that if they fail to clear the garbage. We will set it
on fire. Despite that they have not bothered.
What is the BBMP'S Excuse this time ?
J N Sadanand, Executive Engineer said,
Garbage has accumulated here because the
trucks are not allowed to enter the dump yards. I
am making alternate arrangements to get it
cleared. Creating a ruckus through protests will
make no difference. I know I have to get it
cleared and that's what I will now be doing.
Shivakumar, Former Corporator said, The
extent of mismanagement is such that all three
drivers for one BBMP truck fail to report to work
and the garbage which was supposed to be
dumped remains unattended. Many
Pourakarmikas are too old to perform their
duties, everything related to garbage clearance
(in Chickpet) has now become an issue.
Shopkeepers empty the garbage onto the roads
at the end of each day. It needs to be cleared the
following day. But the problem here is that once
the sweepers leave in the morning, there's no
one else to clear the garbage for the rest of the
day. Resulting in garbage accumulation.
Sleeping officials finally wake up , Mounds of
garbage cleared within hours. But it was seen on
other streets behind the massive pile which
turned into protest . Shopkeepers as book ven-
dors were seen happily selling their books they
said we want this to be same we request the
authority to take precautions and clear the
garbage in time said by Praveen a book vendor.
IIT-Delhi to hold its 46th convocation
Delhi: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, will
be holding its 46th convocation today. This year highest
number of Ph.D degrees will be awarded to students. As
per newspaper reports, total 1,880 students will be
receiving their undergraduate, post-graduate and Ph.D
degrees.
Live webcast of session-1 (9.45 am to 12.00 noon), in
which the chief guest, Director and Chairman's address-
es are included, screened in the seminar hall of IIT Delhi.
Raghuram Rajan, Reserve Bank chief will be the chief
guest.Last year 178 students received the Ph.D degrees,
whereas this year, the number of students receiving the
same is quite larger. The number of students receiving
the undergraduate degrees has also increased from 714
last year in 2014 to 770 this year.The number of post-
graduate degrees that will be awarded is 889.
The curriculum for post-graduate course has also been
restructured by the institute after a decade, which now
includes a variety of elective courses. As a part of the
second reform, students will have to pick one segment of
"defined syllabus" on which they will be tested but with-
out any delivery. This is consistent with the IIT-D's stated
objective of shifting focus away from producing gradu-
ates to producing good research. They hope to increase
the number to 400 in the long term.

All rapists should get death penalty:Anuhya’s father
Esther Anuhya’s family
heaved a sigh of relief after
special women’s court
awarded death sentence to
the accused Chandrabhan
Sanap responsible for brutal
rape and murder of Anuhya.
After Anuhya’s murder her
father S. Jonathan Prasad
had to undergo severe hard-
ships and run from pillar to
post for getting justice.
Jonathan said that he was
like a close friend to his
daughter and she used to
share every detail of her life
with him. Initially the Mumbai
Police had failed to cooper-
ate with Jonathan and asked
him to file a FIR in
Vijayawada instead of
Mumbai. They also asked
him to prove that Esther was
in Mumbai when the crime
had occurred. He had met
the then Home Minister
Sushil Kumar Shinde who
assured him that justice will
be delivered to him.
Welcoming the court verdict
Jonathan said, “Justice has
been done and we are grate-
ful to the police, courts and
media for taking up the cause
so diligently… It will serve as
a deterrent to others. All
rapists should get death
penalty.”
Prasad, a retired professor,
who now resides in the
sleepy locality of Nobel
Colony, said he has complete
faith in the judiciary and the
fact that Sanap, 29, was con-
victed of the crime in just 22
months of trial, reflects that
trust.“A lot of people kept
telling me that nothing would
happen in my daughter’s
case. Some even told me not
to trust the judicial system.
But I have complete faith and
fast-tracking of the case has
proved that I wasn’t wrong,”
Prasad said.
Reacting to the death sen-
tence Esther’s uncle Arun
Kumar said, “The family is
happy with the sentence.”
While awarding the death
sentence, the court termed
the case as “rarest of rare”.
“The case falls under the cat-
egory of the rarest of rare,
hence the accused is award-
ed death sentence…He must
be hanged by his neck till he
is dead,” said Special
Women’s court judge
Vrushali Joshi pronouncing
the verdict.
Sanap was convicted under
IPC Section 302 (murder),
Section 376 (rape) and
Section 201 (causing disap-
pearance of evidence of
offence).
The prosecution told the ses-
sions court which tried Sanap
that the killing was a “crime
against society” and sought
the capital punishment.
Special public prosecutor
Raja Thakare said there is a
need for strict punishment in
such cases to create a socie-
ty where women are not inse-
cure.”
“Violent crimes against
women have increased,
which is not a good sign.
Women work in night shifts. If
it leads to insecurity, it is not
a good for society or even the
law. Such offences deserve
the death penalty,” Thakare
said. Chandrabhan Sanap,
who has been consistently
denying the charges put on
him broke down outside the
court after hearing the sen-
tence. Sanap said, “I have
not committed any crime. I
never expect to be given
death. There is no evidence
against me. I have been pun-
ished for something I have
not done. I have not seen my
daughter. What should I do
with my life?
JD(U),CongressapproachEC,demandbanonAmitShah’sentryinBihar
Upping the ante against Amit Shah
after his “fireworks in Pakistan”
remark, JD(U) and Congress on
Friday approached the Election
Commission demanding that the
BJP chief be barred from entering
Bihar for “inciting communal tension”
till the election process ends.
Taking strong objection to BJP’s poll
advertisements in the state, they
accused the party of using “lies and
false propaganda” to vitiate the
atmosphere and demanded that an
FIR be registered against Shah as
well Prime Minister Narendra Modi
for his quota remarks.
Slamming Shah’s yesterday remarks
that if BJP loses in Bihar, there will
be fireworks in Pakistan, JD(U) gen-
eral secretary KC Tyagi said,
“Shah’s remarks are inflammatory.
“A case should be registered against
him and he should be debarred from
entering Bihar till the poll process is
over. He is a habitual conspirator. He
was earlier also debarred from
entering Gujarat by the court.”
A delegation of Congress chief
spokesperson Randeep Surjewala,
spokesperson Ajoy Kumar and
JD(U) general secretary KC Tyagi
met Chief Election Commissioner
Nasim Zaidi and submitted a memo-
randum, accusing the BJP of “vitiat-
ing” the electoral process by “pro-
moting communal tension” through
its advertisements. It sought action
including “complete withdrawal” of
these ads and “prosecution” of the
perpetrators.
Submitting a list of advertisements
issued by the BJP in Bihar including
one which accuses Nitish Kumar-led
of “snatching the plate of dalits” and
accuses it of trying to carve five per
cent reservation for a particular com-
munity from the quota for
SC/ST/OBC, the delegation
demanded quick action from the poll
watchdog.
