Gyan Circle Ventures VAJIRAM AND RAVI The Recitals (October 2020) Dear Students The preparation of current affairs magazine is an evolutionary process as its nature and content keeps changing according to the demands of Civil Service Exam. As you are aware about the importance of current affairs for the prelims as well as mains exam, our aim is to follow an integrated approach covering all stages of examination from prelims to interview. Keeping these things in mind, we, at Vajiram and Ravi Institute, are always in the process of evolving our self so as to help aspirants counter the challenges put forward by UPSC. In fulfillment of our objective and commitment towards the students, we have introduced some changes in our current affairs magazine. The CA Magazines, now with the name of “The Recitals”, will have four sections. These are: 1. Feature Article: As you are aware of the fact that civil service mains exam has become quite exhaustive and analytical, especially since 2013 after the change in syllabus, we have decided to focus on 2-3 topics every month that will provide an insight into the issue so as to help students understand the core of the issue. This will help in Essay writing as well as Mains Exam. 2. Mains Q&A: New students quite often struggle to find out that in what way the given topic is useful for them and in what form questions can be framed from the article. To help those students, we at Vajiram and Ravi have designed an innovative way to teach current affairs. Now, we will cover the current issues through questions and answers so as to make it more targeted towards exam. This will not just provide the information and analysis on current issues but will also help in learning the art of answer writing. Further the related information on the topics on which questions have been framed but that is outside the purview of answer will be given in the Box as ‘Extra Mile’. 3. Prelims Q&A: This section will contain prelims based MCQs that will test your diligence while reading the current issues. These MCQs will be of UPSC standard and will contain detailed explanation. Students are advised to attempt these MCQs honestly and read the Explanation carefully. The idea is to also provide students with a question bank of around 600 current affairs MCQs (50 Qs × 12 months = 600 Qs) just before their prelims examination, which will act as revision on issues spanning over the entire year. 4. Bridging Gaps: This section will contain miscellaneous topics which has not been covered through Q&A. That is why it is called Bridging Gaps, meaning the left-over topics. So, the new magazine is a complete overhaul of what we have been doing for so long. We hope that the new beginning will be to the liking of students. Thanks Best Wishes VAJIRAM AND RAVI The Recitals (October 2020) Page 1 Corporatisation of Ordnance Factory Board The corporatisation of the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) was announced by the Finance Minister as part of Defence Reforms package. The corporatization will result in the conversion of the OFB into (single or multiple units) fully (100%) government-owned entities under the Companies Act, 2013 like other public sector undertakings. However, government’s move to corporatise the OFB has been strongly opposed by the federations of the workers from 41 ordnance factories and allied units across the country. Steps Taken For Corporatisation • In September 2020, the government constituted an Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) for Corporatization under the chairmanship of the Defence Minister. • The aim of this EGoM is to oversee and guide the entire process, including transition support and redeployment plan of employees while safeguarding their wages and retirement benefits. • Terms of Reference of the EGoM also include a decision on the conversion of OFB into a single Defence Public Sector Undertaking (DPSU) or as multiple DPSUs. About OFB • Dating back to 1775, the OFB is a very old organisation comprising of 41 ordnance factories, 13 ordnance research and development (R&D) centres, and nine ordnance institutes of learning spread all over the country at 24 different locations. • Presently functioning under the Department of Defence Production of the Ministry of Defence, it is the key supplier of a wide variety of products to the armed forces, which include armaments, ammunition, equipment, clothing, and also troop comfort items. • OFB is headquartered at Kolkata. Why Government Wants To Corporatise OFB? A. Various Committee Reports • Various committees and their reports have observed that the OFB have regularly performed below its potential. It has also been found to be draining the Defence Budget with overpricing of material produced. • The first-time corporatisation was suggested was in 2000 by Nair Committee, this was followed by Kelkar Committee recommendation in 2005 and Raman Puri Committee in 2015.
