  • Teaching and Propagation of Hindi in Canada
    Teaching and Propagation of Hindi with success in Canada प्रो. रत्नाकर नराले दी प्रशिक्षण के ित-प्रशतित यि की नयी प्रणालीﴂह 1. SHORT HISTORY In Canada, until about last 40 years ago, one would hardly find any Hindi speaking people, and even if you find a Hindi speaking person, he or she would feel shy and hesitate to speak Hindi in a public place. This was the case in Toronto, which has mild winter and is the biggest, most populated, most developing and most cosmopolitan city in Canada, followed by Vancouver. The situation in rest of Canada was even poorer. Then on, in about next ten years, first major development was foundation of the Hindi Pracharini Sabha by Prof. Harishankar Adesh and Shiam Tripathi group, with Hindi Chetna as their tri-monthly mini magazine. In addition, numerous individual poetic groups sprung all across Canada, main hub being Toronto. The main activity and interest of these organizations was to gather for a Poetic Meet (kavi sammelan), in which Poets would read their beautiful creations to other poets and the gathering. The poems may then get published in magazines, space permitting. Then Prof. Narale came up with a philosophy, which was one time published with much appreciation in Sahitya Amrit, New Delhi. His assertion was that the poetic groups are a wonderful activity, but the question is “where is the propagation of Hindi, if a poet reads his poem in front of four other poets or Hindi lovers, and at the end have tea and Samosa.

    Daily GA Updates COVID-19 vaccine could be 90% effective: Pfizer A vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and BioNTech was 90% effective in preventing Covid-19 infections in ongoing Phase 3 trials, the companies announced. According to preliminary findings, protection in patients was achieved seven days after the second of two doses, and 28 days after the first. The companies said they expect to supply up to 50 million vaccine doses globally in 2020, and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021. While the Pfizer-BioNTech trial has yet to be peer-reviewed by experts, scientists reacted positively -- if cautiously to the results.

  • Political Economy of India's Fiscal and Financial Reform*
    Working Paper No. 105 Political Economy of India’s Fiscal and Financial Reform by John Echeverri-Gent* August 2001 Stanford University John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building 366 Galvez Street | Stanford, CA | 94305-6015 * Associate Professor, Department of Government and Foreign Affairs, University of Virginia 1 Although economic liberalization may involve curtailing state economic intervention, it does not diminish the state’s importance in economic development. In addition to its crucial role in maintaining macroeconomic stability, the state continues to play a vital, if more subtle, role in creating incentives that shape economic activity. States create these incentives in a variety of ways including their authorization of property rights and market microstructures, their creation of regulatory agencies, and the manner in which they structure fiscal federalism. While the incentives established by the state have pervasive economic consequences, they are created and re-created through political processes, and politics is a key factor in explaining the extent to which state institutions promote efficient and equitable behavior in markets. India has experienced two important changes that fundamentally have shaped the course of its economic reform. India’s party system has been transformed from a single party dominant system into a distinctive form of coalitional politics where single-state parties play a pivotal role in making and breaking governments. At the same time economic liberalization has progressively curtailed central government dirigisme and increased the autonomy of market institutions, private sector actors, and state governments. In this essay I will analyze how these changes have shaped the politics of fiscal and financial sector reform.

    U N I T E D N A T I O N S N A T I O N S U N I E S THE SECRETARY-GENERAL -- ADDRESS TO INAUGURAL GLOBAL FORUM ON MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT Brussels, 10 July 2007 Monseigneur [Prince Philippe of Belgium] Prime Minister, Excellencies, Delegates I am honoured to welcome you to the launch of this Global Forum -- a milestone in our work to understand the connection between international migration and development, and to harness the power of one to advance the other. Let me express my deep appreciation to His Majesty King Albert of Belgium, who is recovering from a minor procedure and could not join us today. I wish him a speedy recovery. I am grateful to Prince Philippe for honouring this event with his presence, and to His Excellency Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, and the Government of Belgium for their gracious support and hospitality. This event would not have taken place without you. The road that brought all of us to Brussels was long. It may not have been as tortuous, nor as solitary, as the road travelled by some of the world’s 200 million migrants. But in its own way, ours was a road full of detours and obstacles. I am heartened that we have reached this stage at last. For many years, Member States of our United Nations found it hard to discuss the sensitive issue of migration in the international arena. So the topic was never high on the UN agenda -- until the High-Level Dialogue at UN Headquarters in New York last September.
