  • India Water Week, 2016
    All Sections of the Society will have to Work Together for Water Conservation Says Uma Bharti India Water Week- 2016 Begins Union Minister for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Sushri Uma Bharti has said that all sections of the society will have to work together for water conservation.

  • India: the Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India
    ASARC Working Paper 2009/06 India: The Weakening of the Congress Stranglehold and the Productivity Shift in India Desh Gupta, University of Canberra Abstract This paper explains the complex of factors in the weakening of the Congress Party from the height of its power at the centre in 1984. They are connected with the rise of state and regional-based parties, the greater acceptability of BJP as an alternative in some of the states and at the Centre, and as a partner to some of the state-based parties, which are in competition with Congress. In addition, it demonstrates that even as the dominance of Congress has diminished, there have been substantial improvements in the economic performance and primary education enrolment. It is argued that V.P. Singh played an important role both in the diminishing of the Congress Party and in India’s improved economic performance. Competition between BJP and Congress has led to increased focus on improved governance. Congress improved its position in the 2009 Parliamentary elections and the reasons for this are briefly covered. But this does not guarantee an improved performance in the future. Whatever the outcomes of the future elections, India’s reforms are likely to continue and India’s economic future remains bright. Increased political contestability has increased focus on governance by Congress, BJP and even state-based and regional parties. This should ensure improved economic and outcomes and implementation of policies.

  • A HUGE, COSTLY MISTAKE Relevant For: Environment | Topic: Environmental Conservation, Sustainable Development, and EIA
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2021-04-20 A HUGE, COSTLY MISTAKE Relevant for: Environment | Topic: Environmental Conservation, Sustainable Development, and EIA A river project which remained a pipe dream for more than three decades after it was first mooted may now become a reality. Last month, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and the Centre signed a tripartite agreement to transfer “surplus” water from the Ken basin in M.P. to the “deficit” Betwa basin in U.P. The Ken-Betwa project is part of the national river linking project which proposes to connect 14 Himalayan and 16 peninsular rivers with 30 canals and 3,000 reservoirs in order to irrigate 87 million hectares of land. It has the status of a national project, as the Centre will contribute 90% of the cost. It is India’s first river linking project and will take eight years to complete. First mooted in the 1980s, the Ken-Betwa project was taken up seriously only during former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s regime. Since then, former Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti has been the torch-bearer of the project. The project, the government says, will enhance the irrigation potential of the water-starved Bundelkhand region in U.P. and M.P., facilitate groundwater recharge and reduce the occurrence of floods. According to the Memorandum of Agreement signed, the to-be-built Daudhan dam is expected to irrigate nearly 6,00,000 hectares in four districts in M.P. and 2,51,000 hectares in four districts in U.P. and provide drinking water supply to 41 lakh people in M.P.

  • Babri Masjid Demolition Case
    Babri Masjid Demolition Case October 12, 2020 The recent verdict on Babri masjid dispute has once again called into question the capability of the institution of CBI. It is important to know the history of the case as well as stages it went through to reach the final judgement. In news: CBI court recently acquitted Advani and 31 accused in Babri Masjid Demolition Case. Placing it in syllabus: Law and policy Static dimensions 1. Babri masjid demolition history 2. Highlights of Liberhan Commission report Current dimensions 1. The judgement 2. Criticism of the ruling Content: The judgement: A special CBI court in Lucknow acquitted all the 32 accused in the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition case. The structure was demolished by ‘karsevaks’ in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 who claimed that the mosque was built on the site of an ancient Ram temple. The CBI is yet to decide on filing an appeal against the special court verdict. Though the CBI produced 351 witnesses and 600 documents as evidence before the court the CBI special court judge SK Yadav held that there was no conclusive proof against the accused. The CBI relied on newspaper evidence, photos taken by press photographers and video cassettes and as it did not produce their originals, the court refused to rely on those pieces of evidence. Criticisms of the ruling: The trial court has in effect given judicial legitimation to the ‘Ram Janmabhoomi movement’ by acquitting all those indicted for conspiracy to bring down the structure. The conclusions are termed drastic and defy logic and fact.

  • Ministerial Reshuffle: Getting Battle-Ready for 2019 Rajesh Singh 12 Sep 2017
    Policies & Perspectives VIVEKANANDA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION Ministerial Reshuffle: Getting Battle-Ready for 2019 Rajesh Singh 12 Sep 2017 There are four categorical elements in the recent ministerial changes that Prime Minister Narendra Modi effected. They are: Promotion, Demotion, Induction and Rejection. In doing so, the Prime Minister has sought to construct a robust ministry that will usher the Government into the 2019 Lok Sabha election. There could some tweaking in the months to follow but the broad structure has already been shaped now. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s 2014 campaign had been driven by the promise of good governance and effective leadership set as a contrast to the weak performance of the Congress-led UPA regime. In 2019, the performance of the BJP-led NDA Government will be the dominant factor in the electoral battle. The BJP as an organisation will naturally play an important role, but it will be to project the party’s record of governance. The party will not have the luxury of having to fall back on the disasters of its opponents. Which is why the new Team Modi’s performance in the period leading up to the election, becomes even more critical. As has been the case with many of his major decisions, Prime Minister Modi’s ministerial reshuffle has been bold, and even unconventional in some ways. The usual pandering to caste, community and regional considerations has been largely done away with. Even short-term electoral temptations were set aside. For instance, while both Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh vote in Assembly elections towards the end of this year, no faces have been taken into the Union Council of Ministers from these two States.
