Death of Baby Sherin: Adoption process, who’s eligible, what safeguards are in place for the child (Relevant for GS Prelims and Mains Paper II) About Sherin Mathews After the body of three-year-old Sherin Mathews was found in a culvert in suburban Dallas in Texas the child s adoptive father said she had choked on milk that he had tried to physically assist her in drinking. — The child was adopted two years ago from Mother Teresa Anath Seva Sansthan orphanage by Wesley and Sini Mathews, an Indian-American couple living in the US. The baby was called Saraswati; they named her Sherin. Who can adopt an Indian child? According to adoption guidelines notified in January this year, prospective adoptive parents have to be physically, mentally and emotionally stable, financially capable and should not have a life-threatening medical condition. Singles are eligible, but a single male cannot adopt a girl child. A couple must be married at least two years and their cumulative age at the time of adoption cannot exceed 110 years (55 in case of a single parent). The minimum age difference between the child and either adoptive parent should not be less than 25 years. Preference shall be given to place the child in adoption with Indian citizens and with due regard to the principle of placement of the child in his own socio-cultural environment, as far as possible, say the Fundamental Principles of Adoption. What formalities must prospective parents’ resident outside India fulfil? All prospective parents irrespective of nationality have to register with the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA). After registration, children are assigned by turn, and foreign couples are treated at par with Indian ones. Any Non-Resident Indian, Overseas Citizen of India or foreign prospective adoptive parents, living in a country which is a signatory to The Hague Adoption Convention and wishing to adopt an Indian child, can approach the authorised foreign adoption agency or the central authority for preparation of their home study report, and for registration in the Child Adoption Resource Information and Guidance System. Alternatively, they can approach the government department or Indian diplomatic mission concerned in that country. Shirin Mathews The home study report, which looks at the couple s family, circumstances, etc., is prepared by the adoption agency. It remains valid for two years and is the basis of any adoption attempts that the couple make during that period. Parents are given a chance to adopt on a first registered, first served basis. They are shown photographs, child study reports and Website: www.prepmate.in Telegram Channel: @upscprepmate Prepmate Cengage Books Preview: https://prepmate.in/books/ Youtube channel: PrepMate Edutech For updates on WhatsApp, share your name & city on WhatsApp No. 75972-40000 2 medical examination reports of up to six children in their preferred category. The process of matching must be completed in 15 days. When is a child eligible to be adopted? A child has to be declared legally free to be adopted before being shown to a couple for adoption. When a missing child is found, the District Child Protection Unit has to advertise the particulars and photograph in a state-level newspaper with wide circulation within 72 hours of receiving the child. Local police have to submit a report about the child s parents or any living family. The Child Welfare Committee declares the child legally free for adoption as per laid down procedures. What legal process has to be followed? The adoption petition is filed in court by the adoption agency. Adoption proceedings have to be completed within two hearings and the petition has to be disposed of within two months of its filing. The certified copy of the order has to be obtained by the agency within 10 days. It must also obtain the birth certificate of the child with the names of the adoptive parents. How many children are adopted in India every year? Figures available with CARA show that between 2010 and 2017, adoptions have gone down drastically in the case of in-country adoptions, and by a smaller factor in the case of inter- country adoptions. In 2010, 5,693 children were adopted within India and 628 outside the country. In 2016-17 (until March 31, 2017) these figures were 3,210 and 578 respectively. The fall is because norms have been tightened to protect the children. Despite the safeguards though, not all adoptive children stay safe, as Sherin s death shows. (Adapted from The Indian Express) 2. Regional connectivity scheme Phase II: Massive ramp-up in air links to North East, J-K (Relevant for GS Prelims and GS Mains Paper II) IInd Phase of Regional Connectivity Moving to step up air connectivity to remote and strategic locations in the North-East and Jammu & Kashmir, the government has identified 24 airports and helipads, including nine in Arunachal Pradesh, which borders China, for the second phase of the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS). 24 Airports & Helipads under the scheme Of the 24 airports and helipads identified by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, nine are in Arunachal Pradesh, five each in Assam and Manipur, two in Jammu & Kashmir and one each in Meghalaya, Tripura and Sikkim.

  • Making a Reconnection
    www.indianexpress.com 2017-11-11 Making a reconnection The distance between Kolkata and Khulna is only about 170-odd kilometres. That’s nearly 1,000 kilometres less than what you would travel to reach Delhi from Howrah, for instance. But such is the logic of nations and history, and the power of borders, that one figure has seemed far more momentous for the people of the two Bengals. Thus, a new weekly train between the two cities inaugurated on Thursday by the prime ministers of India and Bangladesh and the chief minister of West Bengal, is a welcome move. Now you can board the Bandhan Express in the morning in Kolkata and reach Khulna in a little over five hours — one small journey in freeing geography from the clutches of history. A rail connection between Khulna, an industrial city, and the West Bengal capital resumes after a break of 52 years. An earlier service, the Barisal Express, was cancelled during the 1965 India- Pakistan war, when Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan. In that respect, too, this is a long-overdue attempt to bring the two countries closer. Happily, India’s relationship with Bangladesh has been on an upswing since Sheikh Hasina’s landmark visit in 2010. On security issues, especially, our neighbour has been greatly sensitive to our concerns — even though the Teesta water-sharing remains unresolved. That such bigger hurdles are not standing in the way of the flow of people, ideas and cultures between the countries is a sign of maturity — something sorely missing on India’s north-western borders.

  • Indian Railways Budget Speech 1996-97 (Final) 604 Speech of Shri
    Indian Railways Budget Speech 1996-97 (Final) Speech of Shri Ram Vilas Paswan Introducing the Railway Budget, for 1996-97, 16th July, 1996 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present the Budget Estimates for 1996-97 for the Indian Railways. 2. On 27th February, 1996, the previous Government had presented an interim budget. At that time, approval for 'Vote-on-Account' for the first four months of this financial year for railways' expenditure was obtained. 3. Mr. Speaker, this is the first Railway Budget of the United Front Government. On the one hand, I praise the vastness of the railways, its contribution to the nation's progress alongwith the efficiency of railway employees; on the other hand I would like to present before the august House the challenges and difficulties which the railways face. 4. The United Front Government assumed office on 1st June, 1996. As a result, I had very less time to present the Railway Budget. During this short period, I tried to talk to more and more Hon'ble members and visit various States to know their problems. But despite my best efforts, I could not discuss the problems with all the Hon'ble members. However, I have tried to understand and solve their problems. I assure the Hon'ble members that these efforts would continue and those important projects which could not be taken up due to technical difficulties and want of time, I would definitely consider them in the Supplementary Demands for Grants in the next session. 5. On 16th April, 1853, a railway train reached Thane from Bombay after negotiating a small distance.

  • India-Bangladesh Relations in a Changing World
    Revista UNISCI / UNISCI Journal, Nº 49 (Enero/January 2019) INDIA-BANGLADESH RELATIONS IN A CHANGING WORLD Sreeradha Datta 1 Vivekananda International Foundation Abstract: While geographically they share the longest borders in the neighbourhood, the bilateral ties between India and Bangladesh over the four decades have seen several highs and lows. As poised today, they have been able to overcome a phase of uneven times to emerge as close partners on the path of progress and development. Historical and cultural linkages, economic interdependence and geo-strategic interests make India and Bangladesh politically vital to each other. The new phase that began since January 2010 has turned the bilateral trajectory on a path of bilateral cooperation. It is hoped once the benefits of mutual cooperation is conveyed and felt by masses; this phase will be sustained in spite of the irritants trying to threaten growing bilateralism . Key words: Islamist, Bangladesh, India, Border, Water Título en Castellano : Las Relaciones entre la India y Bangladés en un mundo en evolución Resumen: Mientras que geográficamente ambos Estados comparten las fronteras más largas del vecindario, los lazos bilaterales entre la India y Bangladesh durante las últimas cuatro décadas han visto varios altibajos. Hasta el presente, han sido capaces de superar una fase de tiempos irregulares para emerger como socios cercanos en el camino del progreso y el desarrollo. Los vínculos históricos y culturales, la interdependencia económica y los intereses geoestratégicos hacen que la India y Bangladesh sean políticamente vitales entre sí. La nueva fase que comenzó en enero de 2010 ha convertido la trayectoria bilateral en un camino de cooperación bilateral.
