SC raps Centre, Gujarat for not implementing welfare schemes
‘Is Guj not part of India?’ : SC Agency | New Delhi
Agency | Mumbai
February 02, 2016, Tuesday
The Supreme Court came down heavily on certain states for not implementing welfare legislation National Food Security Act, saying that why a state like Gujarat is not implementing the law passed by Parliament. “What is Parliament doing? Is Gujarat not a part of India? The Act says it extends to whole of India and Gujarat is not implementing it. Tomorrow somebody can say that it is not going to implement the CrPC, IPC and
the Evidence Act,” a bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur said. The bench also asked the Centre to collect and collate information from drought-hit states on the status of welfare schemes like MGNREGA, National Food Security and mid-day meal. It asked the Centre to filed the affidavit by February 10 and posted the matter for further hearing two days thereafter. The apex court Food Security Act and the had on January 18 asked the Centre to give information mid-day meal schemes as about implementation of schemes under MGNREGA, to whether those affected were being provided the minimum required employment and food or not.

Woman becoming mother through surrogacy entitled to maternity leave: Bombay HC Agency | Mumbai
A woman who has attained motherhood through a surrogacy procedure is entitled to six months maternity leave like any other woman, the Bombay High Court has ruled. “Having considered rules 551(C) and(E) of Child Adoption Leave and Rules, we find that a case is made out for grant of interim relief as there is nothing in these
rules which would disentitle maternity leave to a woman who has attained motherhood through surrogacy procedure,” a bench of Justices Anoop Mohta and G S Kulkarni said in their order delivered on January 29. The judges, granting interim relief, asked the Central Railway (CR) to grant 180 days maternity leave to its woman employee, who had filed the petition challenging the decision

The PIL, filed by NGO Swaraj Abhiyan run by persons like psephologist Yogendra Yadav, had sought implementation of the National Food Security Act which guarantees 5 kg of food grains per person per month. It also sought a direction to authorities that affected families be also given pulses and edible
oils. The plea had said that school-going children be also given milk and eggs under the mid-day meal scheme. It had also sought adequate and timely compensation for crop loss and input subsidy for the next crop to the farmers affected by drought and subsidised cattle fodder for animals. The PIL, filed through advocate Prashant Bhushan, had alleged that the Centre and states “have been highly negligent in performing their obligations, causing enormous damage to the lives of the people due to their inaction, which is in contravention of the rights guaranteed under Articles 21 and 14 of the Constitution of India”.

A constable is seen dragging a female protester by her hair and pushing her down. “Students were brutally beaten by police and people in civil dress who must be RSS people. We were peacefully leading a protest march but extreme force was used on us. Even girls were
not spared and beaten up by male cops,” Shweta, a student of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), said. Police denied allegations that students were roughed up by those in plain clothes. “The protesters got violent and attacked police personnel. We had to resort to mild lathi charge. They were detained and later released. We will look into allegations against any particular officer,” a police officer said.

India’s education system is terribly out of step with the times Education should achieve three broad objectives. First, provide skills required for professional growth. Second, provide life skills, which include soft skills, maturity, and emotional growth. Third, build a strong character for being a good human being and citizen. While it will be a mistake to say that the education system in India has completely failed to fulfil these objectives, a serious rethinking is required. The National Curriculum Framework (NCF), the foundational document for elementary and secondary education, forms the basis for agencies like the Central Board of Secondary Education and the National Council of Educational Research and Training to develop and administer school curricula. The recommendations in the NCF can, at least partially, achieve the objectives that this article identifies. The government has further invited suggestions through the New Education Policy Group. But the existing volume of recommendations, as well as the new ones being sought, may still not deliver the reforms we need, primarily because of two sets of reasons. First, there are systemic problems in our education machinery. India does not have enough teachers who can even understand, let alone practise, the methods being recommended by the various frameworks. According to the World Bank, the average pupil-teacher ratio at the primary level in India is 35 — this is the highest among emerging economies, and much higher when compared to the developed world. A high pupil-teacher ratio impedes the imparting of soft skills and has an adverse impact on the emotional growth of children. Finally, the heavily regulated private sector is hampered by archaic laws that discourage, and even prohibit, innovation. The second set of reasons concerns the abundance of alternatives, which render the formal system ineffective, if not completely useless. The most glaring example is that of on-job training. The formal system is so de-linked from the industry’s requirements that practically every new entrant in the workforce has to be first skilled by the employer. The National Employability Report 2014 found that only 18 per cent of engineering graduates are employable. India’s formal education system behaves like an industry of the colonial era. It neither recognises the current needs of students nor provides the desired infrastructure. Our children are put into a machine. It takes 12 years for a finished product. After this, many choose to remain on the shop floor for another four years and become a certified product. Few prefer to undertake an additional two years and become a special product.

I think more importantly, when you walk into a theatre, whether it be a movie theatre or a live theatre, be open to the experience of the story. I think that sometimes people feel like stories about people of colour are not inclusive. They are very much
inclusive. I mean, the work of August Wilson -which really, pretty much made my career -- is everyone’s story. So I’m just saying, plop your money down to see ‘Race’, to see ‘Dope’, to see ‘Straight Outta Compton’, to see ‘Selma’, to support directors like Ava DuVernay, Lee Daniels, Spike Lee... Their stories are just as valid and as important as anyone else. More important than boycotting is openness.”

MS Dhoni wants India to ‘cash in’ on IPL experience at World T20 Agency | Sydney
Yuvraj Singh’s cameo in the Sydney T20 international on Sunday seems to have impressed India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who expects that the veteran left-hander would only get better as he plays more and more matches in the lead up to the ICC World Twenty20, where he wants his players to ‘cash in’ on their Indian Premier League (IPL) experience. The skipper also termed the team combination as the right mix of players going into the marquee event. “I think we have the right mix. Also, Yuvraj can just go and express himself batting at No 5. There will be less pressure on him and as he plays more and more games, he will just open up more. I have never believed in a set batting order and according to
situations and bowlers, we might need to create a gap in between the two left-handed batsmen [Yuvraj and Suresh Raina]. At the moment, this seems like what will be a very good batting line-up,” the skipper said. Dhoni also said that Raina is the only player in this set-up who has done well batting at No. 3 for Chennai Super Kings as well as batting at No. 5 or 6 for India. “To an extent, we are rewarding IPL performances. Raina has
scored the most number of runs at No. 3 for eight IPL seasons now, and at the same time in one of the World T20s, he batted at No. 3 for us and he got the hundred too. But there were others who could also do a similar job in that slot but there was no one else who could bat at No. 5 or 6. “The conditions from now onward will also be similar to what we get during the IPL, so we want to cash in on that aggression,” said the skipper.

Gujarat govt trying to resolve issue ISR to set up 50 new seismic stations of Patel quota stir: Rajni Patel to analyse possible risk of earthquake Correspondent | New Delhi
A day after jailed 22-yearold leader Hardik Patel threatened to start second round of quota stir, Gujarat Minister Rajni Patel today said the state government is trying to arrive at a compromise formula with the help of various leaders from the community. When asked about Hardik’s latest warning, Patel, Minister of State for Home, told reporters here that various (Patel) community leaders are mediating to solve the issue. “Our government is trying to resolve this issue of agitation. With the help of some (Patel) community leaders, we
are moving towards arriving at a compromise formula,” he said on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of a new police station here. Hardik yesterday had threatened to launch another round of
agitation for reservation under OBC category and accused the Gujarat government of “failing” to resolve the main issue. In a letter addressed to Chief Minister Anandiben Patel yesterday, Hardik, who is
lodged in Surat jail, said if the issue was not sorted out soon, the BJP will face the wrath of Patels in 2017 Assembly elections. In the letter, Hardik also distanced himself from the community leaders, who are reportedly mediating with the government on behalf of the Patel community. “Some selfish leaders of our community are holding talks with the government. They are doing it for their own benefit, not for the interest of the community. It seems that no one has yet conveyed you the actual demands of our community,” he had said in his letter.
below,” said Kumar. Broadband Seismometers are instruments that measure motion of the ground including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other seismic sources. Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth as well as to locate and measure the size of these different sources. Strong Motion Accelerographs are useful when the earthquake ground motion is so strong that it causes the more sensitive seismometers to go off-scale, said Kumar. According to Kumar, the new 50 stations will not be scattered across Gujarat like the present network. “This time, we will set up all these 50 stations in one particular city or district for six months and collect the data offline.
