  • Political News Election
    HTTP://WWW.UPSCPORTAL.COM POLITICAL NEWS ELECTION COMMISSION AT 60 After overseeing 15 general elections to the Lok Sabha, the Election Commission of India, in its diamond jubilee year, can with justifiable pride claim to have nursed and st rengthened the electoral processes of a nascent democracy. The successes have not been consiste nt or uniform, but over the last six decades the ECI managed to make the worlds largest democratic p rocess freer and fairer. One of the instruments of this success is surely the Model Code of C onduct. D esigned to offer a level playing field to all political parties, it has been used to neu tralise many of the inherent advantages of a ruling party in an election. Although the model code wa s originally based on political consensus and does not still enjoy statutory sanction, it served as a handy tool for placing curbs on the abuse of the official machinery for campaigning. While ther e have been complaints of excess in the sometimes mindless application of the model code, th e benefits have generally outweighed the costs. After the Election Commission was made a three-member body, its functioning beca me more institutionalised and more transparent with little room for the caprices of an o verbearing personality. The diamond jubilee is also an occasion for the ECI to look at the challenges ah ead, especially those relating to criminalisation of politics and use of money power in elections. Neither of these issues is new. What is clear is that the efforts of the Commission to t ackle them have generally lacked conviction and have not yielded any significant results.

    India, a country with second largest population, has struggled to win medals at Olympics. India dominated the hockey field in which it has won eight gold medals so far. But after 1980 Moscow Olympics, the hockey team failed to snatch a single medal. India first participated at the Olympic Games in 1900, with a lone athlete Norman Pritchard. The nation first sent a team to the Summer Olympic Games in 1920, and has participated in every Summer Games since then. India has so far won 9 gold medals, 6 silver and 11 bronze medals, a total of 26 medals in 30 Olympics Games. In the 1900 Paris Olympics, Norman Pritchard won silver medals in the 200m and the 200m hurdles. Between 1928 and 1980, Indian hockey team won 8 gold medals (1928, 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964, 1980). These were the only medal for India during that period. In the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, besides the gold from Indian men's hockey team, Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav won a bronze in men's wrestling freestyle bantamweight category. India won silver in men's hockey in 1960. In 1968 and 1972, men's hockey team managed to clinch bronze medals. In 1996, Leander Paes won a bronze in tennis. > Read: The phenomenon that's Leander Paes In 2000 and 2004 > Karnam Malleswari (weightlifting – 69 kg category) and Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore (shooting – double trap) won bronze and silver medals respectively.

  • EQUATION an Auction for Equality Our Partners Founder’S Note
    EQUATION an auction for equality our partners founder’s note t’s ridiculous how time flies. Seems like just the other day we in vited all of you to Equation 2010. And now, here we are, at Equation 2012. (No, there wasn’t one in 2011, we’re human.) This year’s pieces are so exceptional I guarantee there won’t be a normal heartbeat in the house. Milkha Singh has donated his 1960 Rome Olympic 400m finals Ispikes. Yes. Those Spikes. Lionel Messi handed over a signed football. Bedi, Pras, Chandra and Venkat have gifted their Test blazers as one piece! And Sebastian Vettel’s 2011 World Championship signed F1 vest is up for auction. Collecting pieces for Equation is the biggest ideological and logistical challenge. Which pieces are truly historic? Which sportspersons truly iconic? Should the auction be solely driven by commercial considerations or should the historiography and soul of sport be equally celebrated? If anyone knows us at all, the answers should be pretty obvious. Equation will forever be a celebration of all that is pure, heartbreaking, life-affirming and joyous about sport. Here Rafa Nadal will meet Milkha Singh. Magic Johnson, M.S. Dhoni. Michael Schumacher, Mary Kom. Thank you, world champions, for giving a piece of your heart to The Foundation. At Equation 2010 we detailed where and how the money we raised was going to be spent over the next 12 months. We said we would start REACH –II (Restoring Equality through Education and Advancement of Children) in the Kashmir Valley. We said we would offer scholarships to six children in Kashmir to study in a boarding school that would be egalitarian in its ethos but very special in its teaching standards.

  • Games and Sports : a Gateway of Women's Empowerment in India
    Games And Sports : A Gateway Of Women’s Empowerment In India Dr. Krishnendu Pradhan ABSTRACT “Sport has huge potential to empower women and girls” - Remarks by Lakshmi Puri; UN Assistant Secretary-General and UN Women Deputy Executive Director. The purpose of this paper attempts to shed light the status of women’s empowerment in India through games and sports and highlights the issues and challenges of women empowerment in the field of physical education and sports. Sport is an integral part of the culture of almost every nation. However, its use to promote gender equity and empower girls and women is often overlooked because sport is not universally perceived as a suitable or desirable pursuit for girls and women. Today the empowerment of women in games and sports has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century. But practically women empowerment in games and sports is still an illusion of reality. It is observe in our day to day life how women become victimized by various social evils. Women empowerment is the vital instrument to expand women’s ability to have resources and to make strategic life choices. Empowerment of women in games and sports is essentially the process of upliftment of economic, social and political status of women, the traditionally underprivileged ones, in the society. Today sports and physical activity as a strategy for the empowerment of girls and women has been gaining recognition worldwide. Women could be empowered through education, sports and physical activities and by giving them equal opportunities in different walks of life. Research on sport, gender, and development indicates that sport can benefit girls and women by: Enhancing health and well-being, fostering self-esteem and empowerment, facilitating social inclusion and integration, challenging gender norms and providing opportunities for leadership and achievement.

    One of the last surviving ICS officers dead Govind Narain, one of the last surviving Indian Civil Service (ICS) officers and Home Secretary during the Bangladesh war, has passed away at his South Delhi residence. The 95-year-old Padma Vibhushan awardee breathed his last in Chhattarpur due to old age. He had refused to be admitted to a hospital and died peacefully at home. Born on May 5, 1916, in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri, Oxford-educated Narain joined the ICS in 1939 and went on to become the country's Home Secretary and Defence Secretary. Mr. Narain, who worked under Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi, was Home Secretary from 1971 to 1973 and one of the top officers instrumental in planning the Bangladesh war and setting up of Mukti Bahini. In 1973, he was moved to the Defence Ministry as Defence Secretary, a post from which he retired two years later. He was appointed Karnataka Governor in 1977 and was in Raj Bhavan till 1983. A post-graduate in science from Allahabad University, he is also credited with the setting up of the defence production establishment and a tie-up with Russia in this regard. In 1968, he was appointed Secretary, Defence Production.
