INDIA JUSTICE REPORT 2019: the India Justice Report Ranks 18 Large and Mid-Sized, and 7 Small States According to Their Capacity to Deliver Justice to All INDIA JUSTICE REPORT Ranking States on Police, Judiciary, Prisons & Legal Aid ndia Justice Report | 2019 Supported by INDIA JUSTICE REPORT | i India Justice Report: Ranking States on Police, Judiciary, Prisons and Legal Aid Published in October 2019 by Tata Trusts Since inception in 1892, the Tata Trusts, India’s oldest philanthropic organisation, have played a pioneering role in bringing about an enduring difference in the lives of the communities it serves. Guided by the principles and the vision of proactive philanthropy of the Founder, Jamsetji Tata, the Trusts’ purpose is to catalyse development in the areas of healthcare and nutrition, water and sanitation, education, energy, rural upliftment, urban poverty alleviation, and arts, craft and culture. The Trusts’ programmes, achieved through direct implementation, partnerships and grant making, are marked by innovations, relevant to the country. For over a century we have been working to improve the quality of life of all Indians, particularly the vulnerable and marginalised. Tata Trusts have been spearheading social change in the criminal justice and juvenile justice systems in India by focusing on addressing the needs of the most marginalised sections of society. Changes within the justice system are complicated, systemic and interlinked and require critical attention and interventions. These interventions have been implemented across 10 states, either directly or in partnership with state governments. The Trusts have also provided grants to civil society organisations to promote research and advocate policy changes.

The two earthquakes that rocked Nepal on April 25 and May 12, 2015 killed over 8,500 people and caused extensive loss to swathes of countryside in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Bengal that borders Nepal.1 According to the Nepal government, the tiny Himalayan country stares at losses estimated at about 10 billion US dollar— nearly half of its gross domestic product of 19.64 billion US dollar.2 The United Nations estimates that 2.8 million people have been displaced after the earthquake and its aftershocks flattened their homes.3 Women have been disproportionately affected by disasters and the social breakdown that accompanies calamities has made them vulnerable to sexual abuse. Children need more than just material and physical relief after such an event. Confronted with scenes of destruction and death, many children have developed post-traumatic stress disorder. Left untreated, they could be prone to lasting psychological damage and emotional distress. Human trafficking is reportedly rising post earthquake along the India-Nepal border and unsuspecting Nepalese minors are being sold in various big cities of India under the pretext of providing jobs.4 Traffickers often pose as recruiters, offering non- existent jobs to desperate young women and girls, whose plight has become worse after the earthquake.

  • Mountain Policing'
    Random Thoughts Revisiting 'Mountain Policing' R. S. Tolia* Dantewada ambush of CRPF jawans has triggered off a chain reaction of media discussion and reporting which tends to encompass a whole range of issues; absence of inclusion of predominantly tribal regions into the so-called mainstream of national development on the one end, to an early end to the age old-revenue police system of Uttarakhand, on the other. This discourse has been joined in by individuals who have precious little knowledge of local conditions, history of evolution of criminal justice systems in various erstwhile Presidencies during the British raj, comparative advantages or disadvantages of various policing systems that exist within Indian states or outside; as also by those who have in-depth knowledge of a police-magistracy system which the British arguably claimed as their very own special gift to the whole mankind ! This writer holds no brief for either side of this debate and believes that the jury is still out and all the issues involved in the current discourse deserve to be discussed extensively, dispassionately and openly within every State of the Union, especially taking in context the state specific situations, and not subsume these regional and state-specific issues into inane generalities, as essentially Police and Home are a state subject, under our Constitution. It is the States where the state specific issues deserve to be thrashed out and it is totally irrational to draw any parallel between an Andhra and a J&K, or a Chattisgarh and a Uttarakhand, as cheese cannot be compared, or for that matter mixed, with chalk.

    Budget Speech Of Prakash Pant Finance Minister On Budget Estimates of Financial Year 2019-20 1 Hon’ble Speaker Sir, With your permission, here I am presenting the Budget for the financial year, 2019-20. लोकाभरामं रणरंगधीरं राजीवने ं रघुवंशनाथम ्। कायपं कणाकरं तं ी रामच शरण पये।। Hon’ble Sir, this is the third Budget of our Government in the Fourth State Legislative Assembly, which is inspired by the ideology, “Hum vaade nahi, Iraade lekar aaye hain” of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Our budget is based on Farmers, Self employment and Women’s welfare. In addition, in the last few years, under the guidance and direction of state’s vikas purush our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Trivendra Singh Rawat Ji, various programs based on continuous progress and financial management reviews have also certified the commitment of the State Government. As we all know, the state of Uttarakhand was formed during the tenure of former Prime Minister, Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji. As a true visionary, realizing the real situation and problems of a progressive state, Uttarakhand, he supported the idea for a separate Uttarakhand State, to move towards integrated development. It is our good fortune that our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji has a determined resolution for the development of Uttarakhand. For all the sectors of Employment generation, Women empowerment, Health, etc., we have the continuous cooperation of our Hon’ble Prime Minister. On behalf of residents of the State, I express my gratitude for the support given by the Central Government.

Language, Education, and Empowerment: Voices of Kumauni Young Women in Multilingual India Abstract My research explores the language and education situation in the Kumaun region of North India from the perspectives of rural Kumauni young women and in light of their views on empowerment and their aims for the future. My questions address language and education issues in the Kumaun 1) in relation to national policies and local ideologies, 2) as experienced and negotiated by young women, and 3) as applied in a unique Gandhian educational context. Based at Lakshmi Ashram, a Gandhian boarding school serving disadvantaged girls, I used ethnographic methods, focusing on a group of Kumauni young women. National-level language planning through the Indian Census, Constitution, and educational policies minimize some diversity. Locally, discourses about language and dialect, or bhasha and boli, and mother tongue allow for flexible categories and identities. Medium of instruction also takes new meaning through informal multilingual classroom practices.
