Ujjwala scheme implementation spiked in election years: RTI A closer look at the yearwise break of the distribution of LPG under the scheme suggests maximum dispensation during the period just before the 2019 general election. Agency News:New Delhi The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana aimed at making LPG connections available to rural households saw a spurt in new distribution just before the 2019 general election, an indianexpress. com RTI plea has found.

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Probe Into Vajpayee-Era Psu Sales May Delay Fresh Stake Sales
The biggest economic achievement of the Atal Behari Vajpayee government was probably the sale of some of the country’s best known state-owned enterprises, almost all for a song. Vajpayee served three terms as India’s prime minister for a total period of 73 months and 13 days, mostly between 1998 and 2004. In the last five years of his rule, he sold as many as 10 state-owned enterprises and one 50:50 joint venture. Not all deals appeared to be above board. But, few seriously questioned the government at that time. Now, the Supreme Court order to register a regular case for a full-fledged CBI enquiry in the alleged irregularities in the sale of 26 percent government stake in Hindustan Zinc Limited to NRI Anil Agarwal-promoted Sterlite, a subsidiary of the UKbased Vedanta group, for Rs. 445 crore in 2002, threatens the Narendra Modi government’s ambitious privatisation programme in several public sector enterprises. The Supreme Court noted the fact that the then government brushed aside a critical report on the subject from the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. At that time, the state-owned non-ferrous metal giant Hindustan Zinc’s value was estimated at Rs. 39,000 crore. Allegedly, a proper value of stocks would have been over Rs.1,000 per share though bids were invited at the reserve price of Rs. 32.15. What seemed to have prompted the Supreme Court bench, comprising justices D. Y. Chandrachud and B. V. Nagarathna, to order a CBI investigation into 18 suspicious grounds is a faulty closure of CBI’s preliminary enquiry despite numerous irregularities having been listed in the sale of the 26 percent government stake in Hindustan Zinc. The government sale helped Sterlite acquire additional shares within a short span to have a controlling stake in the zinc major. Soon after buying the government stake, Sterlite acquired another 20 percent from the market in 2002. The very next year, Sterlite bought another 18.9 percent to become a strong majority shareholder to run the enterprise as its own. In its 2006 report, CAG indicated that the asset valuer and global adviser did not properly value the asset. “There is a sufficient material …… CBI is directed a regular case and periodically submit status reports to its investigation to this court,” the bench said. Depending on its ultimate findings, the CBI probe may throw open the possibility of similar investigations into alleged under-valued asset sale in some of the most promising public sector enterprises during the Vajpayee era, such as Indian Petrochemicals, Bharat Aluminium, Jessop & Co., Modern Foods and Paradeep Phosphates. The real estate assets under the command of those units were priceless. Some of the private buyers reportedly pocketed huge sums by selling real estate. Now, it is to be seen how the government, which has already lost face after being forced to repeal the three farm bills earlier this month in the face of sit-in protests by farmers on the Delhi border for almost a year leading to violence and death, pursues its gigantic programme to privatise large public sector enterprises and banks in the context of the latest Supreme Court order and the changing political environment in the country. The Modi government has a much bigger privatisation road map than the Vajpayee government’s. Though the Vajpayee regime sold nearly a dozen PSUs and joint venture Maruti Udyog in a short time, the present government has been able to offload only one — the heavily bleeding Air India Limited — in favour of the Tatas in the last seven years. It too appeared to be a distress sale. The only other bidder for Air India was a consortium led by SpiceJet chairman Ajay Singh. Tata Sons’ enterprise value bid of Rs.18,000 crore, having a cash component of only Rs.2,700 crore, was higher than the rival bidder’s. The Tatas acquired the giant airline with over 140 planes and 900 slots at overseas airports, including the most valuable London’s Heathrow. The present BJP-led government, enjoying a massive mandate in Parliament, originally planned to sell over two dozen big-ticket PSUs and banks. Among them are as many as six steel plants, including giant Vizag, Durgapur and Salem plants and Neelachal Ispat Nigam, large oil refiner Bharat Petroleum, biggest sea liner Shipping Corporation and Container Corporation. However, there are few prospective Indian buyers barring maybe NRIs Anil Agarwal of Vedanta and Laxmi Mittal of ArcelorMittal for a few select companies. The proposed sale of Vizag Steel - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara has already come under attack.

Union minister Piyush Goyal
asked the suspended members to apologise to the country, the House, and the chair over their conduct. Speaking in Rajya Sabha, Goyal recounted instances of bad behaviour by the Opposition lawmakers during the Monsoon Session. He added they did not allow Prime Minister Narendra Modi to introduce new members
of his Cabinet in the House, attacked marshals, climbed on
the table, snatched, tore and threw papers, hooted and whistled and disrespected the chair. “I want to bring your attention to the last day of the monsoon session. ...some MPs attacked women marshals, some attacked male marshals. They stood firm. We shudder to think what could have happened to the chair.” He said the Opposition did not let Modi introduce his ministers. “The Opposition had no regard for a large number of women, a minister from the Northeast and Adivasis who were inducted…The Opposition could not digest that.”

World AIDS Day: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a much-dreaded contagious virus that could lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). While many people think that the terms HIV and AIDS are synonymous, they are not. HIV or human immunodeficiency virus has different stages of which AIDS is the last stage. It occurs when the body’s immune system is badly damaged and the person has to face overwhelming infections. There are many HIV patients who may prevent their disease from turning into AIDS by taking HIV medication every day World AIDS Day is celebrated every year on December 1 and brings together people from around the world to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. It has become one of the most widely recognized international health days and aims to raise awareness, commemorate those who have died, and celebrate victories such as increased access to treatment and prevention services. The deadly virus targets and weakens the immune system of the affected people putting them at risk of certain types of cancer and other deadly diseases that people with healthy immune systems can fight off. What makes HIV even more lethal is the fact that it can’t be cured. HIV cannot be spread by touch, c o u g h or handshake or sharing food and beverages with the HIV infected patient. According to Dr Bela Sharma, Additional Director, Internal Medicine, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, the disease can be spread by unprotected sexual contact with a person whose status is not known, infected needles, infected blood or from an infected mother to the child during birth.Stages of HIV explainedThere are various stages of HIV and a person may remain asymptomatic for years. T h e symptoms start showing only when the immune system is affected to a great extent like loss of weight, loss of appetite, chronic loose motions o r unexplained fever. As the disease progresses, it could take its most dangerous form AIDS and lead to multisystem organ failure due to overwhelming infections. The earliest stage develops typically within 2 to 4 weeks of getting infected.
