4 IB men caught near CBI chief’s house CBI war in court as SC to hear ousted CBI chief’s plea today NEW DELHI, OCT 25 (IANS/PTI): As the CBI war gets more curious, four Intelligence Bureau (IM) men were on Thursday caught by the security staff of CBI Director Alok Verma outside his residence in the heart of Delhi.

The security staff of Verma caught hold of the IB personnel who were seated in two parked cars outside the CBI Director’s Janpath residence and dragged them into his house.

Each IB operative was caught by at least two of Verma’s guards and taken into Verma’s bungalow and asked to reveal their identity.

The men had been seen in their cars since Wednesday night, raising suspicion that they were spying on Verma.

As a video showing the men being dragged by Verma’s security officers went viral, the IB admitted that the men were its operatives. Four men were handed over to Delhi Police and

Delhi Police told IANS that all the four IB personnel were released.

IB clarifies: Intelligence Bureau (IB) on Thursday clarified that four of its men were nabbed from outside exiled CBI Director Alok Verma’s home were on routine patrol.

In a statement, the IB said “The IB is entrusted with the responsibility of collecting intelligence on situations that may affect, inter alia, public order and internal security. Its units

are routinely deployed on a regular basis in sensitive areas.” “One such unit, in early hours of today (Thursday), halted on Janpath, where there was an unusual collection of people. This was with a view to check the reason why people had collected at the location... This is a high security zone. Unfortunately, their presence was projected otherwise,” it said.

Rahul questions CBI chief’s removal

Stepping up offensive against the government for forcing the CBI director to go on leave, Congress chief

Rahul Gandhi dubbed the action as “illegal” and a “panic reaction” to cover up Rafale deal evidence.

Congress asserted the government action was “illegal” and an “insult” to the Constitution, the Chief Justice of India and the leader of the opposition.

Reiterating that there was a link between the government action and the Rafale deal, Gandhi said, “The entire country knows that the CBI was about to begin investigation into the role of the prime minister in the Rafale scam. That is why the CBI director was removed at 2 am in the morning...” he said.

Cong to protest in CBI offices: Congress president Rahul Gandhi will lead the party as it stages protests outside all CBI offices across the country on Friday, demanding reinstatement of CBI director Alok Verma.

Gandhi tweeted he will lead the party’s protests outside the CBI headquarters in CGO complex in the national capital.

“Tomorrow, outside CBI offices nationwide, the Congress party will protest the PM’s disgraceful attempt to prevent an investigation

into the Rafale scam, by removing the CBI Chief. I will lead the protests outside CBI HQ in Delhi, at 11 AM,” he said BJP rebuts Rahul’s charges: BJP Thursday accused Congress president Rahul Gandhi of “manufacturing lies” as it dubbed his linking the government’s decision to send the CBI director on leave with the Rafale deal as “hallucination”, claiming that the country has never seen such “childish politics”.

Union minister Prakash Javadekar also lashed out at Gandhi over his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he has crossed all limits of decency by using “abuses” for Modi.

But this will have no impact on people who are “more mature” than the Congress chief, he asserted.

As the Congress has lost all hopes to be relevant, Gandhi has begun seeing Rafale aircraft even in his dreams and manufactures one lie after another, Javadekar told a press conference to counter Gandhi’s claims.

The Congress president failed on “matter, method and manners” in his briefing, he said.

Angami retrospected on their past days of service and he expressed happiness and gratitude to God for making it possible to come together in one platform under NPROA. He opined that growing older year after year was a secondary matter. Maintaining one’s own health is of primary importance as an aging retired officer, because health is the best asset in one’s life, he asserted. He appealed to

the retired officers to give thanks to God for granting them good health who were standing strong despite their retirement.

Quoting a proverb -“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; But when character is lost, everything is lost” -- Angami encouraged the gathering to optimise their character which, he said, is of primary importance among the

possessions of a person. He also called upon the retired officers to be truthful saying that “Truth” can never be concealed but it will prevail. Pointing out that they came from a profession of discipline, he appealed to the members to not give up the discipline they had acquired.

While delivering a welcome address, president NPROA, retired commandant, V. Solo reported that the association was formed in the year 2014. He also informed the members that three retired police officers of NPROA expired in 2018.

He further expressed gratitude to God for being able to come together to remember their services in working together for many years for the cause of the state.

NPROA general secretary, Z. Ahoto Sumi while presenting his report, appealed to the area representatives and members to inform the office in times of trouble and sudden expiry/demise of any of its members. He also appealed to the members to make themselves available in the event of the sudden demise

of any of its members and to remember and pray for them. He further requested the members to pray for the members who could not be present at the meeting on health grounds.

Presenting the treasury report, retired Sr. SP, N.S. Rengma said that every single second, countless people were dying in this world; however, it was God’s special love and providence that had left them strong and alive even after retirement.

KO H I M A , O C T 2 5 (NPN): The Bible society of India (BSI), Kohima branch and Dimapur auxiliary conducted a one day seminar under the theme “Bible for all” at Rengma Baptist Church, Kohima on Thursday.

President Nagaland Christian Revival Churches (NCRC) Rev. Dr. Neikedozo Paphino, in his address as one of the resource persons, said that Christians should consider prayer and fasting as the strongest weapon to face various challenges.

He also told the Church workers and leaders that to serve the Lord effectively they should not depend on degrees, designations and experience except the power of the Holy Spirit.

Citing the example of David from the Bible who honoured king Saul, he reminded the gathering that no one should neglect

or ignore anointed servants of God. Executive director Angami Baptist church council Rev. Dr. Atsi Dolie in his address said Naga society was fast changing and with it came greater challenges for the Church. He said that the ugly menace of corruption, the disturbing news of demonic activities, rapes, kidnappings and murder were all unbecoming of a predominantly Christian populated society. Rev. Dr. Dolie stated that amid all the problems and challenges, the Church should continue to play a vital role in ministering to the deteriorating society.

Revered Dolie said in the face of overwhelming challenges, the Church faced two dangers–it could choose to shy away from the challenges, or drown in the problems. He challenged that the Church to rely on the prompting of the Holy spirit in areas that needed

Church involvement but refrain from treading where it should not.

Sr. Auxiliary secretary Dimapur auxiliary Rev. Dr. Z.K. Rochill spoke on “What is the Bible society of India and how it started”, sr. director CRRM Bangaluru Dr. E Leelavathi Manassed spoke on “What is fund raising and Church relations.” Associate translation director, translation centre Shillong Rev. Dr. Along Jamir spoke on “What is Bible translation”.

The introduction was led by Those Kraho president BSI Kohima branch. Various church leaders, members of BSI Kohima district, wellwishers and others attended the program.

stories of the districts with high percentages of vaccination to inspire districts with lower response. He further appealed to all parents to make and informed choice and avail the opportunity for betterment of their children.

He also requested the media to continue their support, highlighting the coverage of the MR Vaccination.

SIO-UIP, Dr. Atoshe Sema said that the vaccination campaign was being done in four types of session sites - educational institutes, outreach sites, mobile/special team, & facility based session sites.

He added that supporting departments, other than

H&FW are; School & Mass Education, Women & Child Development, Home Affairs, Information & Public Relations, Housing & Urban Development, Civil Aviation, Road Transport, Defence, Sports & Youth Services, Panchayati Raj, Canara Bank, Lions Club, and SBI. He further reported that in Nagaland the MRVC coverage, as on October 23, stood at 448504, with an overall percentage of 76.62, where Dimapur’s percentage is 66.14%, Kiphire 91.13%, Kohima 71.27%, Longleng 96.88%, Mokokchung 95.36%, Mon 88.08%, Peren 85.73%,

Phek 58.7%, Tuensang 94.06%, Wokha 80.51%, and Zunheboto 75.85%.

SMO, Dr. Sheila Longkumer said that overall, communication plans were well executed from the State through workshops for faith based organizations and media personnel and there was a very good involvement of staff at all levels of the State for the ongoing MRVC. Due to coordination between the departments and partners, the State had hit 75% coverage in 20 days.

She also said that certain issues were identified such as negative messages related to prophecies, rumours and reporting of adverse events in neighbouring states which caused fear and hesitancy among the people, which in turn led to reluctance and refusal to be vaccinated. In order to achieve 100% coverage, she further said that there should be re-planning in the areas where enumeration and target setting has not been done properly, including field validation of border areas/disputed areas to find missed pockets. A State level special monitor for Phek district will also be needed since that district has the lowest percentage of M-RVC coverage and

the highest vaccine wastage percentage.

Earlier, an opening remark was delivered by MD, NHM. Other highlights included presentation from the departments and UNDF, UNICEF & others, followed by the discussion.

KHADC resolution urges for introduction of ILP

SHILLONG, OCT 25 (PTI): The Khasi tribal council in Meghalaya Thursday tabled a resolution urging the Governor to introduce the inner line regulation to check and control migration of outsiders into the areas under the jurisdiction of the council.

Khasi Hills Autonomous District (KHADC) council has jurisdiction over the tribal areas in East Khasi Hills, West Khasi Hills, South West Khasi Hills and Ri-Bhoi district and is one of the three autonomous district councils in the state.

Tabling the Khasi Hills Autonomous District (Inner Line as adopted from the Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873) regulation Bill, 2018, KHADC chief executive member H S Shylla said there was “mass migration” arising

out of the implementation of the National Register of Citizens in Assam in tribal areas under the jurisdiction of the council.

He said the unchecked migration of Indian citizens into tribal areas is also posing “grave danger” for the ethnic Khasi tribe who are recognised as Scheduled Tribes in the Constitution.

Meanwhile the councils chief executive member has also tabled the first amendment of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District (Khasi Social Custom of Lineage) Act, 1997 which is aimed at protecting the matrilineal system of the Khasi tribe.

The new bill was necessitated to be tabled after the Governor and the District Council Affairs department of the state government had returned a similar bill passed in July

this year forcing the council to appoint a consultative committee to redraft the bill. The bill laid down conditions, including marriages, for which a Khasi tribal has to follow to ensure that his/her offspring also will be considered a tribal.

Apart from striping a tribal Khasi woman of her tribal status upon her marriage with a non-Khasi man and children born out of such wedlock will not enjoy the constitutional protections that come with it, the bill also strips a tribal Khasi man of his tribal status if he takes the surname from his father.

The councils town committee executive member Latiplang Kharkongor has also tabled the second amendment of the United Khasi Jaintia Hills District (Establishment of Town Committee) rules 2018.

Democracy needs to be strengthened: NSA Doval

National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval gestures during his speech at Sardar Patel Memorial Lecture 2018, in New Delhi, Thursday. (PTI)

Doval also pointed at the strategic assets of India and said no nation can progress unless it strengthens its private sector.

“India was way ahead of China in the 1970s. And we cannot lose out on that.

We want our private sector companies to perform and promote our strategic assets and hence, interests,” he said, adding, “Hard power or a large army cannot help a country to win any battle. We need technological power. We need to work upon the cyber space.”

India cannot afford to be a soft power for the next few years, because it will be compelled to take hard

I dream of an India where prez takes oath on Vedas: Satya New Delhi, Oct 25 (PTI): Union minister Satya Pal Singh on Thursday said he dreams of an India where the president takes the oath of office on the Vedas like the US president does on the Bible.

The Union minister of state for human resource development made the remarks at the launch of a four-day global convention of the Arya Samaj which he said was a “mahakumbh” of its followers.

“We have seen that the US president swears the oath of office on the Bible... I dream about an India where the president takes the oath with the Vedas (Hindu religious texts) in one hand,” he said.

He also said that “rishi gyaan” (the teachings of sages) is a solution to all the issues facing the country. The minister said that the country will have to return to the Vedas to

decisions, he added.

Ajit Doval is, by many standards, considered the most powerful bureaucrat in India since the post of NSA was created in 1998.

This apparently happened when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, four-and-a-half years into its term, decided to revive the Strategic Policy Group to assist the National Security Council and help with a long-term strategic defence review.

The head of the group, Doval will call the meetings of the group and the cabinet secretary is to coordinate with ministries and states for the implementation of its decisions.

Combined event on October 31 D IMAP U R , O CT 2 5 (NPN): Government of Nagaland would be observing the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhai Patel, the first home minister of Independent India, as National Unity Day and National Re-Dedication Day to commemorate the death anniversary of late prime minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 2018.

Jagan injured in knife attack at airport Visakhapatnam, Oct 25 (IANS): YSR Congress Party President Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy on Thursday sustained a minor injury at the Visakhapatam airport in a knife attack by a young man who sneaked up to him with a request to take a selfie, police said.

The attacker, identified as Jaripalli Srinivas, works as a waiter at a restaurant at the airport.

As he suddenly took out a small knife from his pocket and stabbed Jagan, the YSR Congress leader was injured on his left shoulder. A commandant of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) overpowered the attacker, who was handed over to police.

Jagan continued his journey to Hyderabad after getting first aid from the airport staff. The incident triggered tension at the airport as scores of YSRCP activists gathered outside shouting slogans against Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP government.

Andhra Pradesh’s Director General of Police R.P. Thakur said they were questioning the accused. He said a nine-page letter was found in the pocket of the attacker and they will soon reveal its contents.

The police chief said Srinivas claimed to be a fan of Jagan. “Prima facie it appears that he resorted to

This is a milestone development,” HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said at a press conference.

The officer said the police had no role in the security measures inside the airport.

He said it was for CISF to find out how the attacker managed to carry a knife into the airport.

A case has been registered by the police on a complaint by CISF. Meanwhile, Jagan reached Hyderabad airport after 2.30 p.m. He was received his wife Y.S. Bharathi and other family members and YSRCP leaders. A large number of Jagan’s supporters gathered at the airport, raising slogans in his support.

New Delhi, Oct 25 (Agencies): National Security Advisor Ajit Doval on Thursday (October 25) drew inference from the style of governance under Sardar Patel, independent India’s first deputy prime minister, and said the democratic institution of the nation needed to be strengthened, India Today reported.

“India needs a strong and stable government for the next ten years. We are not governed by people’s representatives, but by laws made by them. The rule of law, therefore, is extremely important,” he said, while delivering a lecture at the Sardar Patel memorial in New Delhi.

Doval, in a rare public speech, also advised against giving precedence to populist measures over the larger national interest.

“When you have to take a firm decision and fail to implement that, you don’t prosper. Our biggest strength is our democracy and we cannot afford to be weak now. For that, we need a government that’s stable, and decisive. An unstable regime is only more vulnerable to corruption,” he further said.

stunned nation watched its premier investigation agency- the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI)- at war within itself over the past two weeks, as the simmering hostility between CBI director Alok Verma and the second ranking officer in the agency, special director Rakesh Asthana, has spilled out in to the open. As both top officials went for each other’s throat, the government’s response only added further controversy to the sordid drama. According to a news portal, quoting top government officials, the internal war within the CBI is being fuelled by some officials in the Prime Minister’s Office and a corporate house. It was a comical tragedy to read how the two top CBI officials have been using their powers to launch investigations against each other. Earlier, a few months ago, when a controversy had broken out on Asthana’s appointment as special director in the CBI and it had become clear that Alok Verma was going to object to his selection in writing, officials say Nripendra Mishra the special secretary to prime minister Modi in the PMO, had summoned the Central Vigilance Commissioner, K.V. Chowdary, and directed him to ensure Asthana was appointed. According to the news portals, the clash between Asthana and Verma has deeper roots – and its implications will run much further than just the careers of the two men. It was said to be connected with the CBI’s ongoing investigation into the coal scam involving West Bengal IAS cadre officer Bhaskar Khulbe who was Advisor industries to the West Bengal government. Khulbe is currently secretary in the PMO and reportedly among one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s most trusted aides who handles all transfers and postings of Central officials. Khulbe also works closely with P.K. Mishra an additional secretary in the PMO. Khulbe, it is said, was the official when coal blocks were allocated to a Bengal-based company Ramsarup Lohh Udyong Limited in the Moira-Madhujore block in West Bengal. The difference cropped up when Asthana reportedly decided Khulbe could not be an accused but a witness in the coal scam. Asthana has accused Verma of not allowing him to pursue a criminal investigation against RJD Dal leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, a bitter critic of Modi. On his part, Verma questioned Asthana’s credibility, pointing out that he is officially the subject of an investigation in six cases. When Asthana brought in his selected officers under his wing, the CBI told CVC in July this year, that Asthana had no authority to induct officers in Verma’s absence. The open fight between the two should not have happened but it is clear that the ousted CBI chief was not a favourite of the powerful set up. He had to fight for space with a deputy who had the ears of those powerful officials. The kind of skullduggery being enacted within the CBI has confirmed that the agency has been used by political parties for witch hunting against political opponents. Today, no one dare raise any issue -be it those who now find their perks withdrawn for OROP, alleging corruption in the government, institutions etc. It is also very sad that the much hyped “independent” Indian national media, has not forgotten about “investigation” and decided to play safe lest it face the ire of powers that be. The Supreme Court will hear Verma’s petition on October 26 and hopefully, it will set matters right.

DailyDevotion Submitting to God’s Purpose

I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. —1 Corinthians 9:22 A Christian worker has to learn how to be God’s man or woman of great worth and excellence in the midst of a multitude of meager and worthless things.

Never protest by saying, “If only I were somewhere else!” All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them. Unless we have the right purpose intellectually in our minds and lovingly in our hearts, we will very quickly be diverted from being useful to God. We are not workers for God by choice. Many people deliberately choose to be workers, but they have no purpose of God’s almighty grace or His mighty Word in them. Paul’s whole heart, mind, and soul were consumed with the great purpose of what Jesus Christ came to do, and he never lost sight of that one thing. We must continually confront ourselves with one central fact— “…Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).

“I chose you…” (John 15:16). Keep these words as a wonderful reminder in your theology. It is not that you have gotten God, but that He has gotten you. God is at work bending, breaking, molding, and doing exactly as He chooses. And why is He doing it? He is doing it for only one purpose— that He may be able to say, “This is My man, and this is My woman.” We have to be in God’s hand so that He can place others on the Rock, Jesus Christ, just as He has placed us.

Never choose to be a worker, but once God has placed His call upon you, woe be to you if you “turn aside…to the right or the left…” (Deuteronomy 28:14).

He will do with you what He never did before His call came to you, and He will do with you what He is not doing with other people. Let Him have His way.

Post-mortem

Precision agriculture can do wonders for Indian farming

T

he worrisome reality in India is that agriculture is facing a crisis. In village after village, farmers are looking at selling their land and moving away from farming as a livelihood.

Poor availability of funds, unscientific farm inputs, poor support price structures for farm produce and almost no farm insurance are some important reasons that lead to crippling debts that force farmers to see farming as non-remunerative.

Without mechanisation, farming is hard, back-breaking work. This has resulted in most farmers’ children quitting farming for other vocations. Also, farmers get more money from selling their land to builders, malls and factories than they would ever get from farming. This has put more pressure on farmland, thereby requiring technologies to increase productivity so that the shrinking acreage can feed the billion-plus people of India in the future.

India, though one of the biggest producers of agricultural products, has an average farm productivity of only 33 per cent of that of farms the world over. This productivity needs to be increased so that farmers can get more remuneration from the same piece of land -- with less labour.

Precision agriculture (PA) may provide a way to do it. PA is the application of precise and correct amount of inputs like water, fertiliser, pesticides, etc., at the correct time to the crop, to increase productivity and maximise yields.

It originated in the US and European countries where the use of Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) allows precise mapping of farms. This, together with appropriate software, informs the farmer about the status of his crop, which area of the farm requires water, fertiliser and pesticide, etc.

It includes the practice of subsurface drip irrigation for precise water and fertiliser application to the crops, the use of heavy farm machinery for sowing, harvesting, weeding and baling. Heavy farm machinery currently uses a significant quantity of fossil fuel which may not be economical for small farmers.

With the help of robots and autonomous farm machinery -- also called IOT (Internet of things) -- PA will make perfect sense in small farms as they can also run on renewable fuels like bio-oil, compressed biogas and electricity produced on farms by agricultural residues. Autonomous farm machinery capable of no-till sowing, weed removal, harvesting and other farming operations are ideal for small farms in India.

Similarly, drones have started being used in Japan and the US for insecticide application to the crops. Many of these robotic machines and drones are small in size and are excellent for small farm applications.

The application of PA in the US and other countries has shown tremendous increase in productivity, lowering of inputs and, thereby, increased remuneration to the farmers. It has also helped to improve the quality of land with no-till farming and less use of water. Critics of mechanisation and PA need to open their eyes to farm machinery leasing agencies in rural areas. These companies or enterprises lease mechanised drones for spraying, robotic crop harvester equipment, including drip irrigation systems, to the farmers. They also provide trained manpower to run these machines.

These already exist on a limited scale in India. A few agencies undertake wheat harvesting using combines and spraying of crops and charge farmers on a per hour basis. With the unavailability of farm labour, agriculturists find this concept economical and attractive. In Western Maharashtra, more and more farmers are depending on mechanisation offered by such agencies.

With increasing demand, these leasing enterprises will increase and as PA develops and increases, they will get more structured and available on demand. In the days to come, these leasing companies may form the backbone of Indian agriculture by providing the necessary advice and manpower to the farmers on PA. Critics of mechanisation seldom recognise that traditional

The Khashoggi mystery (From previous issue) The murder of Khashoggi has put many Western nations on the back foot such as the United States, Britain and others. Saudi Arabia is the world’s top oil exports and buys arms worth billions in its efforts to contain the influence of Iran.

Nonetheless, the international banking and business CEOs including IMF Director, JP Morgan and Ford chairman have pulled out of a high-profile conference in Saudi Arabia scheduled for Oct 23-25. 2018.

What we see in the Jamal Khashoggi that everyone tried to duck the questions posed.

US Secretary Mike Pompeo, responding to a question: who killed Khashoggi said “I don’t want to talk about any of the facts.” US Secretary of State the most powerful profile having information of all the countries acknowledged not to talk about the facts which he was aware of. It clearly presupposes the complex nature as to determine between ‘life and death’. And here who determines it.

Further, Trump’s usage of “Rogue killers” by all means needs to be decoded. What did he means by “rogue killers” and who did he mean—those in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul or those who master planned and executed sitting in Saudi Arabia. When the state becomes Rogue State then what one can expect except rogue killers. Murder of Khashoggi is indeed a high-profile case and therefore many think that it’s a hard to crack. But, it’s cracking and ought to crack.

Though well-planned and executed, blatant lies, fake news and money and muscle power shall never last for long, before truth. Trump in this case tried to hold on to this temperament and carefully walked over the tight rope by not jeopardizing

billions of arms deals, energy supply and Saudi cooperation in America’s Middle East strategy against Iran and with Israel. He would not dare to impose sanctions and cancelling tens of billions of dollars in weapons deals which would eventually hurt American works—his national interest.

Trump wants to maintain the carefully constructed alliance of the United States with Israel and Saudi Arabia, primarily to isolate Iran, so that the regional hegemony shall be kept intact. The West, particularly the United States, vociferously talks and boasts about freedom of speech, writing, dissent, democracy and rights of humans and wages war against those that curbs dissent, freedom, democracy and rights of humans. This is the clear case and acid test for the West to show to the world that what it preaches should be practiced. Dismembered parts of the body of Jamal Khashoggi—a dissident journalist and a resident of the United States who was brutally murdered inside the Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, that enjoys immunity has no value for human life and no worth for life before billions of dollars and other hegemonic interests. It is money, money and money, and those who have money power and political power in the case of Khashoggi brutal murder have proven and sent a clear message to the world that those who dissent will have to pay the price—it can be anywhere and in whatever may be the format. There is only one option: Should we move on or question the atrocious and audacious murder of Khashoggi. Today it’s Jamal Khashoggi, tomorrow it could be you or me.

(Concluded) Dr. John Mohan Razu

farming requires timely availability of labour, water and fertiliser. These things are no longer predictable. Thus, PA can help in this matter.

The most important component in taking PA forward will be in creating a huge resource of engineers, scientists and agriculturists to develop various components of the technology.

Without excellent manpower and consequently good R&D, PA will not succeed.

There is need for excellent engineers from institutions like IITs and NITs to design machinery like robots and drones for PA. This can be facilitated by establishing a new branch of engineering called agricultural mechatronics or robotics where faculty and students from almost all branches of engineering will interact and collaborate to develop smart systems for PA. Another way forward is when scientists from Indian Council of Agriculture Research institutes, engineers from the academic world, industry and farmers work together in developing PA. Industry can develop the machinery and set up leasing agencies. This will result in more job creation and more students will join the agricultural mechatronics stream.

PA will also provide a platform for industrial corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity, since improving the livelihood of India’s rural poor through hightech farming can qualify as a CSR activity. The Indian government can facilitate in this process by giving soft loans and sops to the industry to incentivise agriculture and PA activities.

High-tech PA can, therefore, help in bringing the next Green Revolution to India and can produce tremendous rural wealth in a sustainable and environmentally sound way. Farmers and farms are the backbone of any country as they are producers of food, fuel (agricultural residues) and wealth from the land. They should be helped by all members of society and developing PA is a step in the right direction.

A library run by industrial workers means world of change for children

A

t first look, it is just another small room with one wall almost crumbling. But this 25-square yard space means the world for children of factory workers and labourers in Punjab’s industrial hub Ludhiana.

Without any grant or support from corporates or the government, this education endeavour by workers and daily-wage earners living in the Rajiv Gandhi colony area of Jamalpur in Ludhiana’s Focal Point industrial area, is making a sea of difference to the lives of children who come here every single day with their working parents.

The ShaheedBhagat Singh Pustakalaya has no fancy address, no high-profile CSR support and no big-time NGO dedicating its resources. Yet, it is on a mission -- to create a small education revolution by touching the lives of the many children coming here to study.

Messages from martyrs like Bhagat Singh, SafdarHashmi and others adorn the walls of the library. “Behtarzindagikaraastabehtarkitaabon se hokarjaatahai” (The road to a better life passes through good books) -- a board outside the room says.

“We established this library in April this year. It is entirely an effort of workers and labourers of the industrial units in Ludhiana, who live in the vicinity of the LIG (low income group) flats and Rajiv Gandhi colony,” Lakhwinder Singh, the man behind the mission to guide the workers’ children to a better future, told IANS here.

The library has been set up under the aegis of the KarkhanaMazdoor Union by collecting funds from the workers. Contributions ranged from Rs 100 to Rs 5,000. Most workers themselves earn less than Rs 10,000 per month.

Lakhwinder, 33, who himself has done an advanced diploma in dye and mould making from a central institute in Chandigarh and has been living in Ludhiana since 2006, is the main force behind the library project. He is married but has no children yet.

“We began everything on a small scale. We have got no funding from the government or any corporate. The children coming here are not being forced to do so.

They come here on their own and

are liking the concept of teaching here,” he pointed out.

Ludhiana, one of the largest industrial hubs in Asia, with a population of 3.5 million people, is known for its bicycle industry, textile units, auto-parts manufacturing and scores of other businesses. A majority of the workforce here is that of migrant workers from other states, especially Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, who have been living here for decades.

The library gets active from 4 pm to 7 pm every day when the children come here to get an education. Krishan Kumar, a teaching volunteer, uses hands-on concepts, including showing films, to create awareness and impart education.

The library has over 500 books in Hindi and Punjabi stacked on iron shelves.

“We make a lot of friends at the library. It is like a family,” Arjun, 12, a student of class VI in a government school, said.

Lakhwinder pointed out that the parents of a majority of the children who come to the library have themselves not studied beyond Class VIII or are illiterate, but do not want their children to suffer the same fate.

“The room can accommodate over 30 children. At times, we have to put a stop on the numbers as the room cannot accommodate more children,” Lakhwinder pointed out.

For an annual charge of only Rs 50, the children are provided a library card and are allowed to take two books home at one time.

The fee is charged so as to make the children responsible for the books they take.

“The children like to come here. They are allowed to express themselves freely even when they are being imparted education,” he said.

The children coming here are enthusiastic about what they are doing here.

“It’s quite nice and refreshing to come here. Learning here is a lot of fun,” Khushi, 13, a student of Class VII, said.

In its own modest way, this library is making a definitive change in the lives of the young ones.

India’s economic growth not inclusive enough

T

he Indian growth story has been far from perfect. That is not an understatement by any stretch of imagination. A growing challenge for the economy is the fast-evolving problem of inequality.

Most recently, James Crabtree in his latest book, “The Billionaire Raj”, claims that “India is one of the world’s most unequal countries.”

His claim is based on the fact that the billionaire wealth as a proportion of the entire country’s output is the highest for India, except for Russia. The latest human development rankings released last week also corroborate his findings. India already ranks a lowly 130 on the index out of 189 countries but when adjusted for inequality, the scores experience a drastic fall of almost 27 percent against a world average of 20 percent.

What explains India’s dismal performance on the inequality front?

Why don’t other developing countries face a similar problem? To put it simply, economic growth in India has not been inclusive enough. All the hype about the country’s fast-paced economic growth has not percolated down through the economy. The recently-released Social Progress Index can provide an explanation on why that is so.

The Index, which measures the extent to which a country can provide for the social and environmental needs of its citizens, ranks India at 101; a position it had achieved as early as 2014. India is the worst performer among all the BRICS countries and performs poorly than quite a few other developing countries like Thailand, Sri Lanka, Philippines and Indonesia as well. The country’s abysmal performance on social and environmental aspects can explain its widening inequality to a large extent.

To first put things in perspective, the countries which are performing better on the Social Progress Index are managing to do so irrespective of their economic heft; that is, even economies that are poorer than India have ranked higher. But they have made it possible to have broad-based public participation in economic expansion by pursuing policies which allow for extensive schooling, higher literacy,

better healthcare, widespread land reforms and greater gender parity. The only way to maximise the gains in poverty reduction for an economy is to make it more participatory, which is not easy to achieve if the webs of social barriers are not broken down through such policies. Economic advancement cannot be equitable if social opportunities are not enhanced on a wider basis.

China offers the perfect case in point for how a large economy can achieve equitable growth on a sustained basis. China was at the same economic level as India around 1980 when it undertook market reforms.

At the same time, the country made investments in improving its basic education and health standards.

When China soon became an exportled economy, the products did not particularly require highly skilled labour, but schooled and literate population nevertheless. The production of such basic manufactures for the world markets requires adherence to certain specifications and quality controls where good school education comes in handy. A healthy workforce is also imperative to ensure that economic schedules are not marred by illnesses and intermittent absences and that adequate productivity is maintained.

Thus, basic education, good health and decent environment are not only valuable constituent elements of quality of life themselves but can also aid in driving economic

successes of the standard kind in a more equitable manner. India has missed the bus on that front. Surely it can continue to achieve high rates of growth with the rather limited bouquet of social opportunities that exist currently. In fact, a lot of complacency arises from the achievement of high growth rates on an aggregate level. But a status quo would only continue to widen the disparity across society that has already reached concerning levels. Most of India’s growth arises from industries which make excessive use of its historic accomplishments in higher education and technical training. The fruits of such a growth, therefore, are skewed on the wrong side of the income spectrum.

The problem with the inequality debate in India is that it is often argued that since poverty has dramatically declined in the country postreforms, the trend of rising inequality should not concern policy-makers as it is a small price to pay. But, the fact that India is an outlier in terms of inequality among all developing countries, except an oligarchic Russia, should raise the alarm bells.

Most importantly, if there exists a way where the gains from existing growth can be more equitably distributed, clearly that is the Pareto optimal path of development and worth striving for.

Sir,

Proper vending space

There should be some organized system for street vendors that throng around the city tower area Dimapur. While it is good to see enterprising women selling their vegetables and other exotic food items, it must also be understood that there should be a proper space for them to earn their livelihood. In this respect, it would be appropriate for the concerned authority to ensure that vegetable vendors are given a designated space without hampering public movement.

NEW DELHI, OCT 25 (PTI): In a relief to Aam Admi Party (AAP), President Ram Nath Kovind has rejected a petition to disqualify 27 of its Delhi MLAs for allegedly holding office of profit by being appointed as chairpersons of Rogi Kalyan Samitis attached to various city government hospitals.

The President signed the order on October 15 dismissing the plea based on an opinion given by the Election Commission (EC) on July 10. The EC had found no merit in the plea, moved on June 21, 2016 by Vibhor Anand, which had claimed that the 27 AAP MLAs were in a position to “interfere” in a day-to-day administration of these hospitals and hence held office of profit.

The petition had also claimed that in May, 2015 the Delhi health minister had issued directions to all government hospitals to provide office space to chairperson of the committee, which also attracted provision of the office of profit law.

“It is observed that the office of chairperson in Rogi Kalyan Samitis (Patient Welfare Committees) in hospitals of government of National Capital Territory of Delhi falls under the exempted category as per item 14 of the Schedule of the Delhi Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disqualification) Act, 1997, and therefore this Commission opines that the respondents are not disqualified for holding Office of Profit,” the EC had said in its opinion rendered to the President.

RPI (A) mahila president, Diana said that political parties always talk about women empowerment but never deliver. She expressed hope that the RPI (A) will be able to uplift women and the poorer sections of society.

It may be mentioned here that the RPI (A), which is currently an alliance partner of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), was formed by B.R Ambedkar on October 3, 1957.

The pa r ty, whic h made its entry into the north eastern states in 2016, is already present in the state of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, Sikkim and Mizoram. The state unit of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland will be officially launched in December.

CHENNAI, Oct 25 (PTI): The ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu Thursday hailed the Madras High Court verdict upholding the disqualification of 18 party MLAs saying it was a “just order.”

Party spokesperson P Valarmathi expressed joy over the verdict and said the K Palaniswami government has now proved its ‘stability.’ “We are very happy...this is a just order,” Valarmathi told PTI. When asked about the disqualified MLAs’ plea to hold by-elections in their constituencies, she said the AIADMK was ready and expressed confidence that the ruling party will emerge victorious in all the 20 seats.Besides the constituencies of the disqualified MLAs, the Tiruvarur and Thiruparankundram seats had fallen vacant following the death of late DMK chief M Karunanidhi and AIADMK’s A K Bose respectively. Justice M Sathyanarayanan had earlier Thursday upheld the June 14 order of the then Chief Justice disqualifying the 18 rebel AIADMK MLAs, in a huge relief to the Palaniswami government.

The 18 MLAs were disqualified on September 18 last year under the antidefection law after they met the Governor and expressed loss of confidence in the Chief Minister.

DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): Republican Party of India (A), a political party founded by B.R. Ambedkar in 1957, is all set to be launched in Nagaland in December 2018.

At a press conference at Hotel Acacia, Dimapur on Thursday, Mughato Aye, who was instated as state RPI (A) president on October 4 by Union minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment and national party president, Ramdas Athawale, said that RPI (A) was the best party for the Naga people because the party works for the welfare of SC, ST and minorities of the country. With the prevalence of caste system in India, different political parties played caste cards to gain political mileage, said Aye. However, RPI (A) being

a secular party does not discriminate according to caste, creed, colour or religion, he added.

While pointing out that Naga youth were not politically literate, Aye called upon youth and women to join the party and fulfil their dreams and aspirations.

The party, he said, would target youth between the ages of 25-45. However, the party will also seek the blessings and wisdom of senior citizens.

He promised that the party will take up issues like bad roads and bridges, water supply, electricity etc.

Hitesh Deori, Assam RPI (A) president and chief convenor of NE said that the party will work for youth and women empowerment in the state. He also gave an assurance that the party will raise all impor-

The Indian delegation has introduced five different type of teas from India at the event.

Ray said India has different varieties of teas, including the Darjeeling and Sikkim tea.

“China is a very traditional tea drinking nation... they have a very long history of drinking tea expanding to thousands of years,” he said, adding that “our teas are new but our varieties are more”.

Similarly, exports of Chinese green tea varieties to India were also growing.

He said India last year has exported 251 million kilograms of tea. This included Russia (50 million kilograms).

Other countries of Indian exports included Iran, the UAE, the UK, Pakistan, the USA and Egypt.

China makes about 2500 million kilograms of tea, he said.

The Chinese tea business representative reacted positively to India’s pitch for tea exports to China.

Qin Ling, a representative from the Beijing Tea Chamber, told state-run Global Times on Thursday that “Indian tea producers and exporters are using the European Union product standards. Some Chinese companies’ products don’t meet those standards.”

New Delhi, Oct 25 (PTI): Gold prices rose by another Rs 125 to trade at over six-year high of Rs 32,625 per 10 gram Thursday, buoyed by pick-up in festive and wedding season demand by local jewellers amid firm global trends and weakening rupee.

Silver, however, remained weak and fell by Rs 130 to Rs 39,600 per kg due to slackened demand from industrial units.

Bullion traders said sentiments also got a boost on firming trend in overseas where gold traded at over three-month high as the dollar eased and equities slumped. Besides, weakness in the local currency also added to investor sentiments.

Globally, gold was trading at USD 1,234.20 an ounce in Singapore Thursday.

said the tea trade between India and China goes back in history.

The ancient Tea-Horse trade route connected Yunnan Province in China to the tea-growing regions of India in West Bengal and Assam, he said.

Today, China is major producer of green tea with annual production of 2,550 million kilograms. India is a major producer of black tea with annual production of 1,278 million kilograms, he said. India is the third largest tea exporter to China, he said.

Last year, India exported tea worth USD 25 million to China. The graph is headed upwards as Chinese people begin liking different kinds of tea, he said.

With awareness about the medicinal value of the tea, the popularity is growing among the youth of both the countries.

There are many reports which suggest that China’s young people like black tea and black tea-based beverages, he said.

“Similarly, in India, people are now beginning to like green tea and herbal tea. It is for this reason that we believe that the possibility of exporting Indian tea to China is rising. That is why we are organising this tea promotion event today,” he said.

Unabated capital outflows by foreign funds, and heavy selling in domestic equities dampened the sentiment, dealers said.

The benchmark BSE Sensex slumped about 344 points Thursday to settle at 33,690.09, while, the broader NSE Nifty closed below the 10,200mark by slumping 99.85 points, or 0.98 per cent at 10,124.905.

The industry, he noted, was being taxed “like tobacco industries” and emphasised that the issue needed to be resolved at the earliest.

Beijing, Oct 25 (PTI): India made a strong pitch to expand its steadily growing market for black tea in China by organising a tea promotion campaign that officials say would help in scaling up the tea trade between the two countries.

People in China, where tea originated, mainly consumes green teas without milk unlike black Indian tea.

The Indian Embassy here in association with the Tea Board of India and China Tea Marketing Association held the Indian tea promotion event here from October 23-25.

During the event, top tea buyers and sellers from both the countries met and interacted over the prospects of scaling up tea trade between the two countries.

Anil Kumar Ray, Deputy Chairman of the Tea Board of India, the leading Indian tea delegation, told the media on Tuesday that India last year exported about nine million tonnes of tea which constituted about 30 per cent of China’s imports.

The Indian delegation comprising of top tea business houses visited China to explore the Chinese market and to expand the export base, he said.

and autonomous bodies spend a significant amount on procurement of goods and services, similar policy measures at state level can provide an “additive thrust to the manufacturing sector in India, in line with the vision of Make of India,” it added.

The minister sought cooperation of states in implementing the procurement policy.

The central government issued the order on June 15, 2017, to promote manufacturing and production of goods and services in India and enhance income and employment in the country.

Under the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, it was envisaged that all central government departments, their attached or subordinate offices and autonomous bodies controlled by the Government of India should ensure purchase preference be given to domestic suppliers in government procurement.

It also provides 20 per cent margin of purchase preference, while the minimum local content required shall ordinarily be 50 per cent.

In his letter to chief ministers of all states, Prabhu said that giving preference to domestic manufactured goods will not only give a big boost to domestic manufacturing of goods and provision of supplies, but also lead to growth in employment and income.

“I would like to once again stress upon the need for undertaking similar policy measures at state level and formulate appropriate guidelines for providing preference to locally manufactured goods in public procurement to provide impetus to local manufacturing,” the letter said.

All the central government departments and agencies have been mandated to align their procurement procedures with the policy, it said.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Beijing, Oct 25 (AP): It’s taken nearly seven years, but a Japanese leader is making an official visit to China for bilateral talks for the first time since late 2011.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived in Beijing on Thursday as both countries try to repair ties that have been riven by disputes over territory, military expansion in the Pacific and World War II history.

Abe met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang ahead of a Friday summit with China’s top leader,

favors dialogue with Beijing over President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy.

Japan has been targeted by US tariffs too, though much less so than China.

The last Japanese prime minister to make a bilateral visit to China was Yoshihiko Noda in December 2011.

High-level exchanges were frozen in 2012 after Japan nationalized a small group of remote islands claimed by Beijing. That set off violent protests in China and sent Japanese

investment in China and tourism into a nosedive.

Chinese coast guard vessels continue to make regular incursions into Japanese waters around the islands.

The territorial dispute is in part a reflection of growing tension in the Pacific as an expanding Chinese navy sails into waters long dominated by the US Navy.

Japan is a major US ally and hosts a major American naval base. Abe has steadily raised defense spending since taking of-

China on Thursday dismissed as “fake news” a report in the New York Times that said Beijing was tapping into a personal mobile phone of US President Donald Trump.

“It seems certain people in the US are sparing no efforts to win the best screenplay award from the Oscars. I would like to say that this only provides another piece of evidence of the New York Times concocting fake news,” said Chinese Foreign Affairs ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying.

Abe visited China in 2016 to attend the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation summit in Beijing, but this week’s visit is the first bilateral one by a Japanese prime minister since Noda’s.

A recent improvement in relations was marked by a visit to Japan in May by Li, the ruling Communist Party’s second-ranking official. Xi is expected to visit Japan next year.

The White House did not immediately respond to a question regarding the report.

A handful of African countries have in the recent past been led by female presidents with executive powers, including Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Liberia (2006-18) and Joyce Banda in Malawi (2012-14).

Banda was elevated to the presidency following the death in office of Bingu wa Mutharika, while Sirleaf won two elections before standing down earlier this year at the end of her constitutionally mandated terms.

Washington, Oct 25 (PTI): US spy agencies have determined that China and Russia are "eavesdropping" on President Donald Trump's phone calls, according to a news report by a prominent American daily.

"Chinese spies are often listening these phone calls and putting to use invaluable insights into how to best work the president and affect administration policy," The New York Times said citing unnamed current and former US officials.

Trump, the daily said, uses iPhone to make calls to his friends. He has refused to give this up, despite repeated requests by his officials, who have been asking him to make more use of the secure land lines.

Addis Ababa, Oct 25 (Agencies): Ethiopia on Thursday appointed a woman to the largely ceremonial position of president for the first time, further increasing female representation in the government of Africa’s second most populous nation.

In a unanimous vote, Ethiopian lawmakers picked career diplomat Sahle-Work Zewde, 68, to replace Mulatu Teshome who resigned in unclear circumstances.

Ethiopia’s reformist Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed last week appointed a slimline 20-person cabinet in which half the posts are held by women.

They include defence minister Aisha Mohammed and Muferiat Kamil who leads the newly-created Ministry of Peace, responsible for police and domestic intelligence agencies.

“If the current change in Ethiopia is headed equally by both men and women, it can sustain its momentum and realise a prosperous Ethiopia free of religious, ethnic and gender discrimination,” Sahle-Work said Thursday.

United States had already abandoned the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty, planned to ditch the INF, and that the future of the New START was not clear.

“There would be nothing left except an arms race,” he said at a news conference after talks with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

The Russian president said that if Washington moved to abandon the INF and placed more missiles in Europe, Russia would respond “in kind.” “Will we be able to respond?” he said.

“Yes, we will and this will be very quick and effective.”

Putin said any European countries agreeing to host US missiles would be at risk of a Russian attack. “These are obvious things,” the Russian leader said.

“We will return to the situation with the Pershing missiles in Europe,” he said, referring to US missiles stationed in Western Europe in the 1980s.

M o s c ow, O c t 2 5 (AFP): President Vladimir Putin warned of a new arms race if America pulls out of weapons treaties, and said Russia would respond “in kind” to any new US missiles placed on European soil.

US President Donald Trump sparked concerns globally when he said he would ditch a Cold War-era nuclear weapons treaty, the three-decade-old Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF).

Speaking after hosting Trump’s national security advisor John Bolton, Putin warned that abandoning the treaty, and failure to extend another key arms control agreement known as the New START, would unleash a new arms race and put Europe in danger.

Putin said dismantling a global arms control system was “very dangerous,” adding Russia was concerned about the fact that the

The undersigned on behalf of the well wishers, congratulate Mr. Namri Nchang, Advisor, Water Resources Department and Chairman DPDB Peren, for continuing the road renovation work in Tening area, especially Tening Town, which is the basic need of the community.

The work began in 2013; widening the main roads of the whole Town, but discontinued due to lack of fund. The next phase was done in 2016 with his contribution of 80 trips of gravel. The present repair work was done in between August and September 2018.

It is worth mentioning that the above works had been done, braving the odds of uncertain future sanctions. What is more, he put right the maneuvered road-plan that bypassed Tening, by reversing the road, via Tening to Laikie from Peren, and better still, his impact proposal to the Centre and declaration of road from Maibang Assam Via Tening to Tamenglong Via Tamei, as National Highway. Thank you for your commendable services.

Above all, we congratulate him for taking hold of the 48 km of road upgradation project from Tening to New Peren H.Q, under EI Scheme through the agency of Govt. of India Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. We feel certain that the project, besides rejuvenating our land, will culminate one of the typical slow killing plots of our people – the ravage destined road from Tening to Peren.

We wish the venture a grand success and looking forward to its implementation in no time.

Guwahati, Oct 25 (Agencies): NorthEast United FC did well to stave off Jamshedpur FC at Guwahati’s Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium to a 1-1 draw after going being reduced to 10 men at the stroke of half-time, Business Standard reported.

Things started brightly for NorthEast after in-form striker Bartholomew Ogbeche put ahead in the 20th minute. The Nigerian striker capitalised on chaos inside the Jamshedpur box to skilfully make space for himself with a good first-touch then poke home his fifth goal of the season.

Ogbeche had an opportunity to double his team’s lead in the 27th minute when Gallego sent in a fast longball inside the ball where the Nigerian helped the shot on its way but it narrowly missed the target.

Jamshedpur did grow

into the game and especially dominated the play in the middle of the park but visibly lacked teeth in the final third. The visitors receiving at the stroke of half-time when the referee brandished a straight red for Mislav Komorski who elbowed Carlos Calvo. Jamshedpur did make their extra-man advantage count when they scored the equaliser in the

49th minute through Farukh Choudhary. The forward received a lovely delivery from the left and absolutely smashed it on the volley leaving Pawan Kumar with no chance. Reduced to 10 men, NorthEast United retreated to defence and spent much of the second half in their own half clearing balls and crosses which Jamshedpur put in great number.
