“No Job Is Small Or Big, It Is the Way in Which You Do Makes It Small Or Big”
“NO JOB IS SMALL OR BIG, IT IS THE WAY IN WHICH YOU DO MAKES IT SMALL OR BIG” B.S.K. Naidu I was born in a middle-class family. I was schooled in small towns of old Madhya Pradesh. Initially I was admitted to Vidya Mandir, Akola where I was tested and found suitable for 2nd standard and subsequently I secured first position in the class, which proved their judgment right. Thanks to my mother who taught me the basics very early with her meager qualification of just primary education, where of course she was a topper. My father, in the State Government service, was transferred to Mandla. I have fond memories of my childhood spent there. Once I was given an opportunity to deliver a lecture on Goswami Tulsidas representing the Primary school which fetched me a medal. I clearly remember the process of overcoming the stage fear in that big Town Hall packed with elders where I was feeling too small. I little realized then that it would be at the bottom of a long series of invited lectures and standing ovations at international forums in 5-continents including my lead speeches at United Nations, Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the World Bank etc. and a series of 24 awards. Though I was schooled in district schools of insignificant towns of Madhya Pradesh, my parents somehow dreamt of making me an engineer. I did my engineering from the State’s oldest Government Engineering College at Jabalpur. I remember my Russian professor Mr. Tirechev very kindly. His popular catch phrase was “Full work, full marks, No work, no marks”. -

Why the President's Address Matters
Why the President’s Address matters Writer - Chakshu Roy (Editor) This article is related to General Studies- Paper-II (Polity) Indian Express 31 Jan., 2020 "President Kovind will address Parliament today. Days ago, the Kerala Governor expressed an opinion on one paragraph of his Assembly address, prepared by the government. A look at provisions and precedents." Earlier this week, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan addressed the Legislative Assembly of the State. During his address, he stopped before reading out paragraph 18, which related to the Kerala government’s opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Bill. The Governor said he was of the opinion that the paragraph did not relate to policy or programme. He went on to say that since the paragraph relates to the view of the government, to honour the wish of the Chief Minister he was going to read it despite his disagreement with the CM. On Friday, first day of the Budget Session of Parliament, President Ram Nath Kovind will address a joint sitting of the two Houses. Under what provisions does the President or a Governor address the legislature? The Constitution gives the President and the Governor the power to address a sitting of the legislature. The spe- cial power is with regard to two occasions. The first is to address the opening session of a new legislature after a general election. The second is to address the first sitting of the legislature each year. Commonly referred to as the President’s or Governor’s Address, they are a constitutional requirement. A session of a new or a continuing legislature cannot begin without fulfilling this requirement. -

Mohan India Transformed I-Xx 1-540.Indd
1 The Road to the 1991 Industrial Policy Reforms and Beyond : A Personalized Narrative from the Trenches Rakesh Mohan or those of us beyond the age of fifty, India has been transformed beyond Fwhat we might even have dreamt of before the 1990s. In real terms, the Indian economy is now about five times the size it was in 1991. This, of course, does not match the pace of change that the Chinese economy has recorded, which has grown by a factor of ten over the same period and has acquired the status of a global power. Nonetheless, the image of India, and its own self-image, has changed from one of a poverty-ridden, slow-growing, closed economy to that of a fast-growing, open, dynamic one. Though much of the policy focus has been on the economy, change has permeated almost all aspects of life. India now engages with the world on a different plane. The coincident collapse of the Soviet Union opened up new directions for a foreign policy more consistent with a globalizing world. With the acquisition of nuclear capability in the late 1990s, its approach to defence and security has also undergone great transformation. Though much has been achieved, India is still a low–middle income emerging economy and has miles to go before poverty is truly eliminated. Only then will it be able to hold its head high and attain its rightful place in the comity of nations. 3 4 Rakesh Mohan This book chronicles the process of reform in all its different aspects through the eyes of many of the change-makers who have been among the leaders of a resurgent India. -

NHD 2019 Shah Bano National
Shah Bano and India’s Postcolonial Predicament: Gender vs. Religion Ishan Prasad Senior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,498 words “And for divorced women is a provision according to what is acceptable—a duty upon the righteous.” - The Qur’an, 2:241 In April 1978, Shah Bano, a 62-year-old Muslim woman from the north Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, filed a suit demanding maintenance payments from her husband after he kicked her out of the family home. Little did she know that her small plea for gender justice would result in sectarian strife on a scale not seen since the birth of the nation. Neither communalism nor misogyny is new to India, but during the Shah Bano case, gender and religion briefly shared the same stage, each staking out competing claims.1 For while Shah Bano petitioned the courts for legal rights promised to all female citizens, her ex-husband, Mohammad Ahmad Khan, asserted that Islamic law exempted him from providing for her. India, then, found itself between Scylla and Charybdis, as women clamored for gender rights and the Muslim minority fought to preserve its religious identity. Women’s rights advocates initially triumphed with a favorable Supreme Court ruling, but their victory was short-lived, as Parliament quickly passed legislation overturning the Court’s decision. Thus, political considerations, in concert with powerful colonial legacies, led to the triumph of religious rights over gender rights. Shah Bano’s loss was decried as a tragedy by women’s organizations, while Muslim leadership hailed triumphant in their quest to safeguard Muslim religious practice. -
