Annual Subscription: Rs. 500/- Tel: 011-43700100 MESSAGE It is heartening to note that Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE) is coming out with a special issue of KALEIDOSCOPE on "India Vision 2022". The onus of fulfilling the dream of a self-reliant and prosperous nation by 2022 lies with every citizen of the country. Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) being the proponents of socio-economic development have to be at the forefront of this massive movement. This calls for excellence in corporate governance, as only a transparent and ethical system can ensure a durable result. The contribution of PSEs is essential to acheive our national goals and “Vision 2022”. Such con- tributions to be extensive and inclusive, excellence, transparency and ethical system are fundamental needs. I extend my best wishes to PSEs in this journey. I also congratulate SCOPE for coming out with this special issue. KALEIDOSCOPE September, 2018 5 6 KALEIDOSCOPE September, 2018 CHAIRMAN’S DESK ndia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and is expected to be among the top Ieconomies in the near future. As per available data, India has grown at 8.2 percent in the June 2018 quarter and the Indian economy is expected to grow around 7.9 percent in 2018-19. Growth is supported by strong urban and rural demand and improved industrial activity. International bodies like International Monetary Fund, World Bank etc. are optimistic about India’s growth prospects. India has improved its ranking in the World Bank’s ease of Doing Business Report by 30 ranks over its 2017 ranking and is ranked 100 among 190 coun- tries. This significant improvement in the ranking reflects India’s commitment to emerge as preferred investment destination. India has retained its position as the 3rd largest start up base in the world and also boasts of having a vast pool of skilled professionals. With ambitious development programmes like Digital India, Make in India, Skill India Start up India etc. government aims to transform India into a modern and com- petitive economy. As the country is moving forward, PSEs have been contributing immensely to the long term prosperi- ty of the nation. They have been using new technol- ogy to improve their systems and processes. In line with the Make in India initiative, they have been giving boost to indigenous production and thrust to research and development. In line with Skill India initiative, they have taken numerous initia- tives to empower the work force with required skill set which make them employable and self reliant.

    News Analysis (28 May, 2020) drishtiias.com/current-affairs-news-analysis-editorials/news-analysis/28-05-2020/print USA Offers Mediation Between India and China Why in News Recently, the USA President has offered to mediate between India and China over the Indo- China border standoff. The offer has come in the backdrop of the ongoing standoff between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Background Currently, India and China faces standoff at least four points along the LAC, including Pangong Tso lake, Demchok and Galwan Valley in Ladakh and Naku La in Sikkim. The tensions between two countries escalated along the LAC after China ordered the military to scale up battle preparedness and asked it to resolutely defend the country’s sovereignty. Subsequently, India has also increased its presence on the boundary with China in North Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, along with Ladakh. So far, at least six rounds of talks have been held between Indian and Chinese military commanders in Ladakh on the ground but have failed to achieve a breakthrough. Key Points 1/14 Offer by USA: The USA President has informed both India and China that the United States is willing and able to mediate or arbitrate their raging border dispute. It is the first time that the USA made such an offer to India and China, referring to the LAC situation as a “raging border dispute”. In the past, the USA had offered to mediate between India and Pakistan over Kashmir but it was rejected by India. India had cleared its position stating that the issue can only be discussed bilaterally.

  • Procedure for Generating Jeevan Pramaan / Digital Life Certificate (Ver1.0)
    Procedure for Generating Jeevan Pramaan / Digital Life Certificate (ver1.0) 1. What is Jeevan Pramaan (JP): There are more than one crore pensioners in the country including pensioners from Central Government and Defense personnel. These pensioners get their due pension through Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) such as the banks, the post offices etc. Pensioners are required to furnish a “Life Certificate” to these PDAs in November every year either by presenting themselves personally or by delivering a life certificate in the prescribed format. The requirement to produce this certificate causes huge hardships particularly to the aged and or / infirm pensioners. Launched by Hon. PM Shri. Narendra Modi ji, on 10th Nov 2014, Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners Scheme of the Government of India, known as the Jeevan Pramaan (JP) seeks to address this very problem by digitizing the whole process of securing the life certificate. It enables the pensioner to generate a digital life certificate using a software application and secure Aadhaar based Biometric Authentication System. The Digital Life Certificate (DLC) so generated is stored online & can be accessed by the pensioner & the Pension Disbursing Agency as and when required by them. 2. Components of the J P/ Digital Life Certificate There are three basic components of the Jeevan Pramaan /Digital Life Certificate: A. The Pension Sanctioning Authority (PSAs) It is the authority which approves and sanctions the pension of an individual. The Pension is to be delivered in the Pension Account specified in the Pension Payment Order (PPO). B. The Pension Disbursing Agency (PDAs) The Pension Disbursing Agencies process the DLC of the pensioners.

    ºÉiªÉàÉä´É VɪÉiÉä GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Outcome Budget 2021-2022 February, 2021 MINISTRY OF FINANCE OUTPUT OUTCOME FRAMEWORK 2021-22 (MAJOR CENTRAL SECTOR & CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES) Preface Major Expenditure Reforms have been undertaken by the Government over the last few years. This not only includes simplification of appraisal and approval processes, but also structural changes in the process of budget making itself, like doing away with Plan / Non-plan distinction. As a result, the cost-centres are being treated in an integrated manner, within only the statutory revenue capital framework. This enables another major structural reform, which is to bring the public schemes and projects under a monitorable Output-Outcome framework. Since 2017-18, in addition to the financial outlays of schemes of the Ministries being indicated in the Budget document, the expected outputs and outcomes of the schemes are also being presented in a consolidated Outcome Budget document, along with the Budget. These Outlays, Outputs and Outcomes are being presented to the Parliament in measurable terms, bringing-in greater accountability for the agencies involved in the execution of government schemes and projects. Outlay is the amount that is provided for a given scheme or project in the Budget; while Output refers to the direct and measurable product of program activities, often expressed in physical terms or units. Outcomes are the collective results or qualitative improvements brought about in the delivery of these services. The Outcome Budget presents (a) the financial outlay for the year 2021-22 along with (b) clearly defined outputs and outcomes (c) measurable output and outcome indicators and (d) specific output and outcome targets for FY 2021-22.
