  • The National Rural Housing and Habitat Policy for India-2007
    The National Rural Housing and Habitat Policy for India-2007 A Proposal to the Government of India Blank Page iii Blank Page Introduction Blank Page About this Document A house with the basic amenities of water, sanitation and domestic energy, offering a sense of privacy, safety and dignity is the right of every individual in society. Facilities for education, health and child care, and opportunities for income generation are essential to personal growth and social well being in a productive society. All these amenities and facilities form an integral part of human habitat. It is the responsibility of a society to put in place the policies, institutions and means needed to ensure that every citizen can exercise these rights and have the opportunity to lead a healthy, happy and fulfilled life. The National Habitat Policy has over the decades sought to achieve the aim of "adequate habitat (shelter) for all". It has undergone many revisions to suit national priorities and changing social and macro-social and economic conditions. The National Habitat Policy of 1998 is a generic policy for rural and urban areas but does not adequately address the specific and distinct concerns of the nation's rural areas. The country clearly needs a 'Rural Housing and Habitat Policy' to ensure that the special character, priorities and potential of life in rural India are adequately and realistically addressed. Considering its strong linkages to the overall economy and to the natural resource base, it is essential that rural habitat development be seen in the context of the nation's efforts to end rural poverty and regenerate the natural environment.

  • The Unsung Story of Major General Ian Cardozo
    UnsungA Story of Major General Ian Cardozo Article Several extraordinary war tales have undoubtedly emerged from the battle of Sylhet; from both the Indian and Bangladeshi fronts. However, nothing will come close to the bravado of Major General Ian Cardozo, who amputated his own leg after stepping on a landmine. The year was 1971 and India was waging war with Pakistan to help expedite the liberation of Bangladesh. While his battalion, the 4/5 Gorkha Rifles was deployed in what was then East Pakistan, Major General Cardozo (who was a Major at that time) was enrolled in a course at the Defence Services Staff College in Wellington, Tamil Nadu. Following the death of the officer who was the second-in-command of the battalion, an immediate replacement was to be found, and the concerned officials zeroed in on Major Cardozo. His posting was cancelled, and he was ordered to leave immediately. His timely arrival was of immense help to the battalion, which was severely short on manpower. Through a swift military offensive that lasted only 13 days, India successfully defeated Pakistan and liberated Bangladesh. It was during this time that the Major earned the nickname ‗Cartoos Sahib,‘ as the soldiers in his battalion couldn‘t pronounce his name! This was also the war that witnessed Indian Army‘s first-ever heliborne operation. In fact, the battalion of only 480 men charted history when they accepted the surrender of about 1,500 men that included three Brigadiers, a full Colonel, 107 officers, 219 Junior Commissioned Officers (JCO), and 7,000 troops from the Pakistan Army!

  • Essay on Kargil Vijay Diwas
    Essay on kargil Vijay Diwas It has been 18 years since India won the war against Pakistan at the Kargil in Kashmir on 26th July 1999. Since then it has been observed as the Kargil Vijay Diwas. Indian armed forces had given their full efforts in such an unbearable climate and heights to get back our land which was dominated by the Pakistani troops. The Kargil battlefield is one of the highest and dangerous battlefields in the world. The war was fought in the Tiger Hill region located in the Kargil town 205 km away from Srinagar. The nights here are long, and the temperature used to drop till -48 degree Celsius. The Pakistani Army wanted to cut the connections between the Ladakh and Kashmir and later occupy Kashmir slowly. Pre-War Scenario of Kargil War During the winter of 1998-99, Pakistani Army secretly started training and sending troops near Kargil to the dominate the region with the goal of claiming Siachen Glacier. Pakistan Army exclaimed that they were not the Pakistani soldiers but the Mujahidin. Pakistan wanted to have international attention on the dispute so that India would be pressurized to withdraw its army from the Siachen Glacier region and force India to negotiate for the Kashmir dispute. Later it was observed that the Kashmir militants were also included in it. The battlefield was at the high altitude; therefore, it created a logistical problem for the Indians to carry arms and other material. India Fights Back The Pakistani soldiers initially crossed the Line of Control which is called LOC and entered into the India-controlled region.

Professional Ethics for the Armed Forces in War and Peace Ian Cardozo* This article looks at the current situation in the armed forces, which has been in the news for all wrong reasons recently. The author undertakes an analysis of the causes of this state of affairs and suggests that the armed forces, which were well known for their ethics and code of conduct, need to review the situation and take radical steps to ensure a return to their ethics, values and traditions. In recent times, the armed forces have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. A proliferation of scams involving senior officers suggests that somewhere along the way, some officers have lost their sense of right and wrong and have compromised on the ethics and values that the armed forces stand for.
