VOL.71 This special allocation was made by the Centre in May, amid criticism over migrants workers’ exodus from urban centres. Latest data of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution shows that against the Centre’s announcement of distributing free 5-kg foodgrain per month for two months to about 8 crore migrant workers who do not have ration cards, only 2.13 crore beneficiaries it in May (1.21 crore) and June (92.44 lakh). Announcing this on May 14, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had suggested that the allocation was meant for about 8 crore migrant workers. According to the ministry’s data, all 36 states and Union Territories lifted 6.38 lakh metric tonnes, or 80 percent of 8 lakh metric tonnes of food grains allocated under Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan for May and June. But they have distributed only 1.07 lakh metric tonnes (or 13% of allocated quantity) of free foodgrain to the intendedaspirantforum.com beneficiaries until June 30, it shows. Despite lifting their full two months’ quota, several states did not distribute the free food grain to the returning workers, statistics shows. At least 26 states and UTs have lifted 100-per cent of their allocation from the Centre but not one of them distributed full quantities to the beneficiaries in the last National two months, data shows. The maximum quantity — 1,42,033 metric tonnes — was allocated to Uttar Pradesh, which lifted 1,40,637 metric tonnes. But the state distributed only 3,324 metric tonnes (2.03 per cent) to about 4.39 lakh beneficiaries in May, and to 2.25 lakh beneficiaries in June, according to the ministry. Visit aspirantforum.com for Guidance and Study Material for IAS Exam aspirantforum.com THE CRUX OF THE HINDU AND PIB Bihar also lifted 100 per cent quota of 86,450 metric tonnes but distributed only 1.842 metric tonnes (2.13%) to about 3.68 lakh beneficiaries in May, and to no one in June, according to data. JULY Eleven states and one UT did not distribute even 1 per cent of the quantity they 2020 had lifted to the beneficiaries during June. These are Andhra Pradesh, Goa, VOL.71 Gujarat, Jharkhand, Ladakh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Odisha, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Tripura. Some states have lagged behind in lifting of their share of grains. For instance, Odisha lifted only 388 metric tonnes from the Food Corporation of India against its allocation of 32,360 metric tonnes under Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan. Madhya Pradesh lifted 1,963 metric tonnes (4%) of its allocation of 54,642 metric tonnes, while Chhattisgarh lifted only 944 tonnes (5%) out of the allocated 20,077 metric tonnes. Six or seven states, including Goa and Telangana, have written to the Centre and informed that they will not be able to implement the scheme since migrant workers have moved out of their states. At a virtual media conference , Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Ram Vilas Paswan said, “Some states are not distributing foodgrain to aspirantforum.com the poor.aspirantforum.com It is a matter of concern…they should be sensitive to the poor…. We have no problem in providing foodgrain to states. When it is being given free, I don’t understand the problem in distribution. We are taking this issue seriously.” Among states which have performed comparatively better, Rajasthan lifted almost 100 per cent of its allocated quota of 44,662 metric tonnes and distributed over 95 National per cent — or 42,478 metric tonnes of grain to 42.47 lakh beneficiaries in May and June each. Haryana distributed 6,463 metric tonnes against its allocation of 12,649 metric tonnes. Himachal Pradesh, Assam and Karnataka also performed well, the ministry’s data shows.

The St Albans 2020 Cathedral in Hertfordshire is all set to display the painting by artist Lorna May VOL.71 Wadsworth as part of a prayer installation in the North Transept from July 4. “At St Albans Cathedral we stand with the Black Lives Matter movement to be allies for change – building a strong, just and fair community where the dignity of every human being is honoured and celebrated; where black voices are heard, and where black lives matter,” the church wrote in a statement. “In the painting Jesus is a black man, and so calls us to ‘look with fresh eyes at something you think you know’,” the church wrote on its website. The altarpiece at the 11th century abbey will be replaced with a high-resolution 9- feet print of Wadsworth’s painting, who based Jesus’s features on those of Tafari Hinds, a Jamaican model. The work, modelled on the original, depicts the disciples as being ethnically diverse. The painting will be displayed till the end of October and parish members can pray or light a candle in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. ““Paintingaspirantforum.com the Last Supper altarpiece made me really think about how we are accustomed to seeing Jesus portrayed. Experts agree he would most likely have had Middle Eastern features, yet for centuries European artists have traditionally painted Christ in their own image,” Wadsworth said when asked to explain the painting. National Explaining why she casted Hinds, as her Jesus, the artist said it was to make people “question the Western myth that he had fair hair and blue eyes.” The announcement comes after Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who heads the Church of England, said the church should reconsider its portrayal of Jesus as a white man.
