  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

  • The Question of the India-Pakistan Conflict
    th th Online Model United Nations @ Newton International Academy II 2020 | 11 ​ – 14 ​ of November 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ Forum: Sustainable Development Goals 16 Issue: The Question of India-Pakistan Conflict Student Officer: Maliha Muhajid Position: Head Chair Introduction Dispute after dispute, conflict after conflict, war after war: that is what the history of the India and Pakistan conflict looks like. The India-Pakistan conflict has been going on for years, and has been one of those conflicts that almost everyone has at least heard of; but more than that, it is one that has affected millions of lives till date. In the beginning, India and Pakistan weren’t separate nations. They were both previously ruled by the British, and in 1947, the countries gained their independence and were separated, with Pakistan containing a majority of the Muslims and India containing a majority of the Hindus. Though their independence could’ve led to more peaceful and positive happenings, what happened was the opposite, especially with the situation regarding Kashmir. The independence of the countries has led to unending internal and external conflicts between the two, and though the situation was close to getting better a few years prior, it almost seems impossible to turn the two enemies in favor of each other. Talking about enmity, it’s not only the governments who are constantly causing issues for each other, but rather, the residents of the countries’ have contributed majorly to the minor conflicts that have occured. It is said that only 5% of the Indian population view Pakistanis positively, and only 11% of the Pakistan’s population views Indians positively - shocking, right? Well, not for those who have been directly affected by these disputes and conflicts.
