R.

  • Central Forces Without Regular Heads-Internal Security Context
    10 March, 2021 Central forces without regular heads-Internal Security Context Many Central forces are functioning without regular chiefs, which could impact their efficiency The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), with a strength of 3.5 lakh, is headless following the previous incumbent Dr. A.P. Maheshwari’s superannuation on February 28, 2021. The Special Director General, Kuldiep Singh, is holding charge until a regular officer is appointed. Saddled with additional duties The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been without a head since February 3 when R.K. Shukla retired on completion of his two-year term. Until a Director is selected after due procedure and clearance by a committee headed by the Prime Minister, the Additional Director, Praveen Sinha, will hold the fort. Common Cause, an NGO, has since filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court seeking the appointment of a regular CBI Director through the high- powered selection committee of the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice of India and the Leader of the Opposition. Consequent to his taking over as Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF) in August last year, Rakesh Asthana should have been relieved of his charge of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) that he had been heading prior to his appointment to the BSF. But for reasons best known to the powers that be, the Gujarat cadre officer continues to hold additional charge of the NCB. The BSF is the second largest force in the country after the CRPF. It is unfair to saddle him with additional charge of another organisation when the force he is heading is constantly at loggerheads with the Pakistan Army and militants along the borders and is even combating militants in Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast.

    What Powers Success on the Ground? The Gradual Reform of Electricity Distribution in Gujarat Working Paper Mapping Power Project Siddharth Sareen April 2017 Project Overview This working paper was written as part of a collaborative research project, Mapping Power, which aims to provide a state-level analysis of India’s electricity governance. The project is coordinated by Sunila S. Kale (University of Washington, Seattle), Navroz K. Dubash (Centre for Policy Research), and Ranjit Bharvirkar (Regulatory Assistance Project), and carried out by a team of 12 researchers. The research explores the views and perspectives of various stakeholders and organisations in each state and how they will be affected by new initiatives in India’s electricity sector, as well as the forces and constraints that shape decision-making in electricity governance. Using data from qualitative interviews with key informants buttressed by quantitative data, the research team covered 15 states as part of the analysis: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.

This paper was informed, in part, by 26 interviews with a broad range of electricity sector stakeholders that were conducted on a not-for-attribution basis. The author wishes to thank the interviewees who generously took some of their valuable time to share their perspectives, as well as audiences at an Energy Transitions workshop (Berlin), an Ecological Challenges conference and a University of Oslo seminar (Oslo), a Max Weber Centre seminar (Erfurt), and an Energy Impacts workshop (Bergen) for helpful discussions in early 2017.

    Volume 1 No.1 January 2013 ISSN : 2320-4168 A STUDY ON WELL-BEING STATUS OF WOMEN EMPLOYEES OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY – MADURAI DIVISION K. Jecintha Sathiyavathi Assistant Professor, Department of Commerce, NMSS Vellaichamy Nadar College, Nagamalai, Madurai Dr. M. Muthupandi Associate Professor, Department of Commerce, Sourashtra College, Madurai Abstract Provision of occupational health services assumes a basic job in employee maintenance, inspiration and job fulfillment. Work related health and wellbeing needs of railway women employees in India have not gotten the due consideration. Absence of far reaching framework for investigation and scarcity of logical writing regarding the matter is a bottleneck for plan and implementation of powerful provisions around the subject. The work conditions and the idea of work environment influence the health of employees. Factors, for example, temperature, sound, vibration, and so on essentially decide the quantum and sort of work-related ailments and wounds which occur because of unavoidable collaboration between the physical–physiological frameworks of a person with the outer specialists at work. Occupational security and health (OSH) is the study of expectation, acknowledgment, assessment and control of risks emerging in or from the workplace that could hinder the health and wellbeing of workers. Other than work-related clutters, it additionally includes all logical factors that influence health inside a work environment. The rail industry trusts it can accomplish more noteworthy business and industry benefits by working together on health and wellbeing. Discover progressively about how the industry is meeting up through the industry guide, point explicit groups, health and wellbeing information and numerous different areas of development.
