ndia created history when the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched it’s heaviest rocket Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3)PSLV on 23 Oct 2022 carrying 36 satellites and launched them into space successfully.

This was the highest number of satellites ever launched from a launcher vehicle. 135 crore Indians including the President and the Prime Minister of India put their hands together to applaud the efforts of ISRO scientists.

In 1960, the thought of just inventing space technology was far-fetched and nearly impossible for Indians. Till the end of 20th Century, India was still perceived as a low cost, poor technology destination. We converted this threat into opportunity in 21st Century and today India is most economic launch-pad for space missions and satellites in the world.

then grew and became the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on August 15th, 1969.

The world looked up to applaud India’s feat when it achieved the rare success of launching record breaking 104 nano satellites into orbit, from a single rocket. It soon became the workhorse launcher for satellites, with a high success rate. As ISRO launched many satellites India established itself as a as a reliable and cost effective place in the world for satellite launches.

As we celebrate “Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav”, let’s look back at this arduous space journey of 75 years and flag the discoveries that put India on the global map.

Aryabhatta: Named after the noted Indian astronomer, Aryabhatta was India’s first satellite which was launched on 19th April, 1975. This was an iconic moment in the history of India.

SLV-3: The Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 (SLV-3) was India’s first experimental satellite launch vehicle, which was a four-stage vehicle It was launched on July 18, 1980.

SLV-3 made India the sixth member of an exclusive club of space-faring nations.

PSLV: The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) was India’s third generation launch vehicle, equipped with liquid stages, launched in Oct 1994. It emerged as a

erala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan and the Left Democratic Front government headed by CPM’s Pinarayi Vijayan have been having frequent run-ins over a variety of issues. Power to appoint vicechancellors of universities was one of them. The recent dispute is about the governor’s power to recommend the dismissal of a minister. In a letter he wrote to the chief minister on October 25, Khan asked him to take “constitutionally appropriate action” against Finance Minister KN Balagopal as he had ceased to enjoy the Governor’s pleasure. In other words Khan wanted the minister to be sacked. Balagopal earned Khan’s ire for a speech that “undermined the unity and integrity of India”.

AEROSPACE DOMINANCE Dominance of space is the new buzz in the 21st Century.

It is perceived that future wars will witness aerospace as the new battlefield and hence the race to dominate space. An advancement in the space domain is seen as an lead demonstrator in military technology. Hence the ‘space race’ to dominate the space for future warfare.

In March 2019, India successfully tested an anti-satellite weapon. Perhaps more significantly, India established two new space agencies in 2019: the DSA and the DSRO DSA is organized to perform duties of integrating space assets from the three services and developing strategy for space dominance and space warfare, whenever it happens.

DSRO is a research organization geared toward facilitating devp of civilian space technology for military purposes.

CONCLUSION ISRO is developing Next Generation Launch Vehicles with reusable energy and capable of lifting payloads upto 10 tonnes. It’s likely to be ready by 2030. India also eyes setting up of own space station by 2035, a rare feat indeed. In the changing space security dynamics, India’s space program has developed credible launch capabilities. The country is working to increase its capabilities in the space domain to assert itself as a potent regional power in the future while pursuing its goal of becoming a global power.

if “statements by individual ministers lower the dignity of office of the Governor”.

Khan’s assertion is based on Article 164 (1) of the Constitution which says that “Ministers shall hold office during the pleasure of the Governor.”

Technically the Governor’s letter is in sync with the Constitution but legal experts argue that notwithstanding the constitutional provision, no governor in the history of post-Independence India has exercised this power unilaterally. The controversy is still simmering as Pinarayi Vijayan is refusing to sack his cabinet colleague. Khan, whom the state government calls an agent of the Centre, is not known to backtrack on a decision which he thinks is constitutionally and legally correct.

Vijayan faces a challenge.

Ever since Khan’s letter there has been a debate on whether the Governor is constitutionally empowered to sack a minister. Khan claimed in a tweet that he was empowered to “invite action including withdrawal of pleasure”

IMRAN ESCAPES GUN ATTACK AFTER TAKING ON PAK’S ISI

F

ormer Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan survived a gun attack, which is being described as an assassination attempt, when his long convoy was heading towards Islamabad. The Tehreeke-Insaaf party leader’s popularity has been at its peak after his removal from office through a no-confidence vote. He has been boldly taking on the Shehbaz Sharif government, the Pakistan army and the “deep state” or the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan. His allegation that the ISI was behind the murder of a Pakistani journalist in Kenya forced the ISI chief to defend the agency in a rare public appearance.

Clearly the former prime minister has made too many powerful enemies, which is always a dangerous situation for any democratically elected political leader. Last month the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified him from contesting election for five years. But the popular cricketer-turned-politician was insistent on his demand for fresh polls in the country. Thursday’s development shows how dangerous Pakistan is for democracy.

SPIRITUAL SPEAK Faith and prayer both are invisible, but they make impossible things possible.

ROYALS HOLD SWAY IN LAND OF GODS; CONG BANKS ON THEM AS BJP RAISES PITCH AGAINST ‘RAJAS-RANIS’ Shimla (PTI): In the land of gods, where local deities are revered, royalty continues to command its own space in the politics of Himachal Pradesh. While kingdoms may have gone, many scions of the erstwhile royal families of the hill state are persisting at the hustings, in their bid to continue to “rule” albeit by the dint of the ballot now. Not that the royal charms have sustained the electoral weathers. The influence of royals in Himachal’s politics has waned over the years, as is clear from their depleting numbers in the poll fray this time. Only a handful of royal scions are contesting the state Assembly election to be held on November 12.

Solan (ANI): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said only two Prime Ministers including Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Narendra Modi gave importance to Himachal Pradesh like nobody else.

But only two PMs-Atal Bihari Vajpayee and PM Modi-gave importance to Himachal like nobody else”. He lauded PM Modi’s leadership and said that India’s prestige has increased on the global stage under his prime ministership.“No one can deny the fact that after PM Modi became PM, India’s prestige increased on the global stage. Today if India says anything on the global forum, other countries listen carefully to what India is saying,” he said.

New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Thursday said the Election Commission must give an explanation to the people of the country as to why it announced the poll schedule for Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat on separate dates even though counting of votes would be held on the same day.

ASSEMBLY BYPOLLS IN SIX STATES

POLLING BY AND LARGE PEACEFUL: EC

Telangana’s Munugode records 77%, Haryana’s Adampur 75%, 66.63% turnout in Odisha New Delhi (PTI): Byelections to seven assembly constituencies in six states were held on Thursday with the voter turnout ranging from 31.74 per cent in Andheri (East) of Maharashtra to 77.55 per cent in Telangana’s Munugode.

Till last reports came in, the polling percentages in the five other seats were Mokama (53.45) and Gopalganj (51.48) of Bihar, Adampur (75.25) of Haryana, Gola Gokarannath (55.68) of Uttar Pradesh, and Dhamnagar (66.63) of Odisha. These figures are likely to change.

Officials said the bypolls were by and large peaceful barring some minor incidents.

Among the seven seats where bypolls are being held, the BJP held three seats and the Congress two, while the Shiv Sena and the RJD had one each. The contest is symbolic of the fierce turf war between the BJP and the regional parties.

For the bypolls in Bihar, the main contest is between the BJP and the RJD, and the saffron party’s main contenders in Haryana are the Congress, INLD and the AAP. In Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and Odisha, the main contests are between the BJP and the TRS, SP and the BJD respectively.

the BJP knew it was going to be defeated and to avoid this humiliation, it played this gamble.

So the party withdrew the candidate.

Absence of 3 DGs from DGP’s taking over programme draws ‘interest’!

Not a good beginning for Umesh Mishra!

Shivendra Parmar Jaipur: Whenever a new Director General of Police takes over the charge of the State Police, the day is celebrated with much fanfare at the PHQ and officials throng to be a witness to one of the most coveted ceremonies. Moreover, the protocol also demands that when the top cop of the State’s Khaki takes charge, the officials below him or her, present in the PHQ or State Capital, should attend the function and pay their respects

DGP Umesh Mishra

to the top boss!

But perhaps it was for the first time in the history of Rajasthan police that not just one, but rather three most senior officials kept a distance from the function organised on Thursday, wherein, IPS Umesh Mishra assumed the charge of DGP of Rajasthan Police. DG

‘Loyalist’ Pratap now targets another loyalist Dr Joshi!

Vikas Sharma Jaipur. The ministers of the Gehlot government have now come face to face in the matter of filling the ACR for the functioning of State bureaucracy. After the statement of Minister Mahesh Joshi in favour of bureaucracy, on Thursday, Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas was at his aggressive best.

On the statement of Food Minister Pratap Singh Khachariawas that the bureaucracy was uncontrollable, Mahesh Joshi said, “I have all the rights in my department.” On this, Khachariyawas targeted & advised Joshi that he shouldn’t speak on such issues openly.

“Unnecessary slavery should not be done. If you have taken the contract of slavery, then carry it forward. Ma-

Utkal Ranjan Sahoo

Jail Bhupendra Kumar Dak, DG-ACB BL Soni and DGHomeguards UR Sahoo distanced themselves from the programme and their absence became a hot topic of discussion in the State’s Khaki, administrative and political set-up.

In fact, it is being said that it is an ‘inauspicious’ start for Umesh Mishra who, observers claim, may perhaps undergo a tough time working collectively with the three DG rank officers. However, this is mere speculation and only time would tell, how Mishra fares in his tenure with other senior officials.

hesh Joshi is a leader 10-15 years senior to me.

They should clearly tell whether they are writing the ACR of IAS. If you are writing then it means the Chief Minister’s Secretariat is supporting them. This is a question of order. Mahesh Joshi is lying.

Why are you talking randomly? Are you explaining to Pratap Singh, who has the power to fight and die? People will decide who goes forward. I raised the issue of giving the right to fill the ACR to the ministers, if anyone re-

futes my issue, they will have to speak to me,” he said, adding, “Filling ACR is not the work of CMR. The more power is de-centralised’, the better the work will be done. CMO should not do work like filling the ACR.” Khachariyawas said, “If any minister refuses to fill ACR, I want to meet him. Joshi had siad that all our work is being done. Even our works are being done.

You aren’t very powerful. Are you more powerful than me? I know how to fight and to die.”

Jaipur: The demand of ministers to give them the right of filling ACRs of IAS officers has gained momentum in Rajasthan. Advisor to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and MLA Sanyam Lodha has also extended support to the demand of other ministers of giving rights to ministers for filing ACRs of IAS officers. Lodha tweeted saying, “To make administration accountable towards the citizens, it would be appropriate that the ACRs of IAS officers working in the department should be filled by the minister of the concerned department. The demand of Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas is completely in the public interest”.

WHEAT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EVERY NEEDY FAMILY, SAYS KHACHARIYAWAS Jaipur: Food, Civil Supplies Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas during a press conference said that wheat should be given to every needy family. He said that Collectors & DSOs of each district should ensure this. He said that a study of other states will be done to modernise ration shops here. “A team of officers will be sent to other states for this. They will take government’s plan from door-to-door through 26,000 ration shops. On question of lapse of 46,000 metric tons of wheat, he said, “We will get this matter investigated and action will be taken against the culprits.” “Will issue a circular for its strict compliance. Will ask the Collector and SDM not to impose unnecessary conditions. No person should go to bed hungry,” he said.

Jaipur: ExCMVasundhara Raje said that former BJP govt had started distribution of ration through PoS machines to stop black marketing of wheat.

“This initiative of ours’ was not only known as biggest attack on corruption, but also ensured that the poor also get rightful ration,” she tweeted. “Ever since distribution of public ration has started in nation under the food security scheme, since then theplaints of black marketing of wheat & rice by middlemen became a challenge for the governments,” she said.

Several transfers on, ‘ghost’ of ‘man-management’ still haunts DoP! Rajendra Chhabra Jaipur: Even after the recent shuffle of IAS in the State, the already existing dismal man-management situation has not improved as the number of officers given additional charges has not decreased. If two are removed, two more are handed the additional charge, whereas, the number of under-utilised officers is also similar. Moreover, important responsibilities have been handed to junior officers.

The most interesting case is of ACS Abhay Ku-

mar, who has served as Secretary, Rural Development for ten years, and now again, he has been handed the reins of the same department along with Panchayati Raj. But handing him the responsibility of the Food Department for the first time that an ACS rank officer has been given such a small department.

But perhaps justice has been done to Anand Kumar, who was the most over-burdened officer. Instead of half a dozen departments, he now has Home and Transport Departments

to lead. Reportedly, Kumar is happy with the new assignment. However, taking additional charge of a major department like Water Resources and handing it to Shikhar Agrawal can not be understood. Shikhar is already handling Forest and Environment, but this additional charge, in bureaucratic circles, is being considered as a message given by the government that old issues have been forgiven and forgotten.

Among other officers, Hridesh Sharma will handle the responsibilities of Secretary, LSG

along with the additional responsibility of RUIDP and RUDSICO. Now, let us take a look at the under-utilised officers. T. Ravikant, Sreya Guha, Dinesh Kumar, Naveen Mahajan, Manju Rajpal, Naveen Jain, Sandeep Verma and Ajitabh Sharma do not have the department or responsibilities akin to

officers of their level, calibre, seniority and experience.

This is T. Ravikant’s seventh transfer in this government, as till now, he has served in JDA, finance, RVPNL, RREC and Pollution Control, which are considered major postings. But now, he has been given a comparatively small depart-

ment like Medical Education whereas, the work of new Medical Colleges has been completed.

Sandeep Verma, who has held the reins of Science and Technology Department, has yet again been handed the reins of this small department, even though after two months, he will be promoted to ACS rank.

Handing a small department to a senior officer is nothing but underutilisation of their experience.

The registrar in a Cooperative Department handles all the affairs of the department and as

such, there is not a need for a Principal Secretary level officer there. Therefore, 1994 batch IAS Sreya Guha does not have any workload in the department.

An almost similar is the situation with Dinesh Kumar in Agriculture as he too is being under- utilised. Since the beginning, Agirculture and Co-operatives have been under one roof and now when the State has a dearth of capable officers, handing the responsibilities of these departments to two different officers is illogical.

Naveen Jain and Man-

ju Rajpal could have been given better responsibilities instead of PR and RD since both departments are now under ACS Abhay Kumar.

Similarly, Naveen Mahajan in Water Pollution and Ajitabh Sharma in JCTSL are being underutilised and they could be given more work on their current assignment.

The DoP has taken a new experiment by putting comparatively junior officers Nathmal Didel as MD Roadways and Meghraj Singh Ratnu as Registrar, Co-operatives.

STRIPE GEAR

AN ALL-TIME

CLASSIC The classic stripe is a girl’s best friend when it comes to patterns.

City First brings to the highlights from the timeless fashion!

UTTKARSHA SHEKHAR

uttkarsha.shekhar@firstindia.co.in

S

tripes are a perennial favourite because they can be worn in a variety of ways and have a special way of conjuring up summer. Although stripes have always been in style, this season is all about applying them in unconventional or non-traditional ways.

The most comfortable way to dress is in a striped pattern, which can be worn in a variety of ways. Men can wear striped shirts and slacks, while ladies can wear stripes in long gowns, short dresses, and shirt patterns.

The major benefit of stripes is that they go well with anything and can be worn with fusion clothing to provide some edge.

Mesh and shimmer stripes, fulllength vertical stripes, alluring swirly stripes on knit and lace, enormous athletic stripes in linear patterns, horizontal stripes, or a combination of all of the above. Wear a bikini, t-shirt, or dress with stripes to add visual liveliness to your outfit. The safer choice is always nautical stripes. If one frequents the beach frequently, one can invest in classic beach items.

“The classic navy, cherry, and

white stripes will never go out of style because they feature nautical accents like anchor designs and rope detailing.

To feel comfortable, we might wear a variety of stripes. The simplest approach to give your plain monochromatic stripes some edge is to add some colour to your outfit.

Try pairing strong shades with white, such as brilliant red and blue, or, if you’re feeling particularly daring, try a variety of hues. Wear the pattern from head to toe to up the ante on your stripes. Doubling or even tripling the number of stripes on striped clothing, is one of our favourite ways to modernise the tried-and-true stripe trend”.

Stripes are a timeless fashion staple, and irrespective of the season, they b l e n d well with different themes.

Dip-a-toe in this trend and experiment with different stripes ranging from mod zigzags to bold sailor motifs that are dominating the runways globally.

Post that, I worked for an NGO back in my hometown in Jaipur before going off to Film School in Los Angeles and returning to Mumbai for a decade to work in various capacities across Film & Television.

Do I propagate and endorse this way of life, of repeatedly changing tracks & careers? Of course not.

But do I feel that in the one life we have, it is worth deeply scrutinizing & finding one’s passion and then following it, no matter what the odds are?

The answer to this question is a resounding yes!

We are lucky enough to live in a free country. Yet, we seldom reward ourselves with true freedom! The leeway to become actualized adults that are complete yet unique realized yet open and whole yet differentiated, is seldom granted to us, and especially today, to young students and children.

Freedom to explore, and of thought & expression, to me, is the essence of individual freedom. However, in my observation, while our schools and educational institutions have ‘improved’ by

Freedom to Explore: Exploration of oneself is the only way we can truly ‘know’ ourselves. Our likes, dislikes, talents, interests and passions, makes up a delectable cauldron waiting to be sipped, tastedand savoured. Perhaps the only way of initiating this ‘exploration’ is to expose ourselves to a wide variety of experiences. In each interaction lies a unique experience. Be it listening to a particular kind of music, strolling through a park early in the morning amid the birds and the freshly awakened flowers, or watching a great Ted Talk. Each human encounter brings us rich new learnings. A chat with our auto-rikshaw driver, a discussion with an elderly uncle; so much knowledge and awareness can be imbibed.

leaps and bounds, sadly, these enhancements have been largely infrastructural, technological, digital, and for the most part – superficial. Smart Classes to Air Conditioned rooms & buses, state-of-the-art laboratories to the lavish sporting framework.

But where is the evolution in the embedded philosophy or the ethos of education?

Where is the strategy behind what kind of human beings we are producing to lead us into the future? Where is the identification and manifestation of the unique passions and talents of an individual?

I believe that along with all the wonderful progress that has been made by schools, and the ability of families & parents to provide greater exposure and tools to children, there must also be a very specific mandate to support, encourage and develop Exploration & Expression.

But how does one do this?

Freedom to Educate: Once something piques our interest, to educate ourselves in that sphere. Research. It can begin with a simple secondary search online using Google. Let’s say Gaming has caught your fancy. You can learn about a lot of the basics of the Gaming world by reading from reliable/credible/established sources online. Maybe you’ll realize it is not for you.

Maybe you will be even more convinced you’d like to know more! In the former scenario, you know you can leave this be and continue your quest of exploration.

In the latter, you can then start to find out about courses that you can take outside of your set school curriculum to explore and educate yourself further in that discipline.

EXPLORE AND

EXPRESS, FREELY!

Freedom to Express: Too often we take things for granted.

Silly things. Illogical things. ‘dogs will bite, don’t go near them’. ‘pink is for girls, boys can’t wear that colour’. Prejudices and preconceived notions, big and small, surround us. We must build, having explored and educated ourselves, the will and courage to express our own opinions, even though they sometimes might seem contrary to the status quo, against the inherited set of values and morality. We must question, we must ask, we must explore, and come to our own conclusions.

Freedom is nothing if we don’t grant it to each individual.

Freedom is a spirit of genuine self-discovery and thoughtful expression of that self-attainment. Without it, we are denying this great, ‘free’ country of its independence. Because without people who can think for themselves and contribute an individual perspective, we stand the greatest risk of all – being enslaved by our ‘dictated’ way of life.

That, for this great young country of ours, will arguably be the greatest tragedy – if we end up with entire generations that are fed on a steady diet of pre-decided, pre-determined life paths.

They will be frustrated, angry, discontented, disconnected, passionless individuals who will make up an apathetic whole!
