100% FDI in defence, civil aviation Govt bites reform bullet, opens up defence, civil aviation and pharma, With the objective of providing major impetus to employment and job creation in India
Agency | New Delhi Agency | Nagpur An elderly man allegedly killed his 28-year-old son on Father’s Day over a property dispute, police said today. Pralhad Shende (55) axed his son Pintu to death in the wee hours yesterday after a heated argument at Manjri, about 17 kms from here at Weltur in Nagpur rural, police said in a release.
Sugar declines on poor demand
The government on Monday eased foreign direct investment (FDI) norms for several sectors including defence, food products, aviation and retail, clearing the way for Apple to open its signature stores in India suggesting a plucky drive to push reforms. The latest move comes two days after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Ra-
jan, in an unexpected move, said he would return to academia when his term ended on September 4. India’s equity and currency markets, which fell sharply in early morning trade on Rajan’s surprise announcement, rebounded smartly, cheering the new FDI norms.

Agency | Mumbai Prices of both varieties of sugar declined at the Vashi wholesale market here today due to poor demand from stockists and retailers. Medium sugar (M-30) fell by Rs 20 per quintal to Rs 3,652/3,802 from Saturday’s closing level of Rs 3,672/3,802. Small sugar (S-30) moved down to Rs 4 per quintal to Rs 3,592/3,672 as against Rs 3,596/3,672 previously.

Agency | New Delhi Two days after Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar wound up a quiet twoday visit to China, where he met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, India on Sunday suggested that its chances of joining the Nuclear Suppli-
ers’ Group (NSG) may have brightened. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said that China was “not opposing” India’s membership and was talking about “criteria and process” for becoming an NSG member. “China is not oppos-
ing membership of India in NSG, it is only talking of criteria and procedure. I am hopeful that we would be able to convince China as well to support our entry to the NSG,” Swaraj told agency. “I think that there is a consensus which is being made and I am sure that India will become the member of the NSG this year,” she said, adding that membership to the NSG was “crucial for India’s energy policy”. “I am in contact with 23 nations, one or two have raised concerns, but I think consensus is there,”

said Swaraj. The issue of India’s membership will be discussed at a plenary meeting of the elite group on June 23-24 in Seoul. Asked about Pakistan’s application to the NSG, Swaraj said that India, being a non-member, cannot comment on its entry and role. “But, we will not oppose the entry of any nation to the NSG. We think that the application of each country should be considered on the basis of merit,” said Swaraj.
brand food retail and eased so-called restrictive conditions for single brand retail. The decision to relax the norms was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. “Key reform decisions were taken at a high level meeting, which makes India the most open economy in the world for FDI,” Modi said in a tweet. In another tweet, he said the changes would provide a “major impetus to employ-
ment and job creation in India.” Commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the decisions would help in attracting more investments, creating jobs and making India the global manufacturing hub. The government relaxed local sourcing norms up to three years for entities undertaking single brand retail trading of products having “state-of-art” and “cutting edge” technology. This will likely benefit Apple’s plans to open
its signature stores in India as the government relaxed the condition that stipulates companies to source at least 30% of their components or merchandise for being eligible to set up company run retail stores in India. The government also allowed up to 100% FDI in domestic airlines and new airports, a move that will let foreign companies fully own Indian domestic carriers and “greenfield” airports and up to 74% in existing airports.
in Singapore. “Monday will be a tough day for India amidst ‘Brexit.’ “ Since taking office in 2013, the former International Monetary Fund chief economist helped strengthen the rupee, cut its swings by more than half and propelled the nation’s foreign-exchange reserves to an all-time high. Those moves, along with the implementation of an inflation-targeting regime, built India’s credibility with investors
and helped it overtake a slowing China as the world’s fastest-growing major economy. The rupee weakened 0.4 percent to 67.3550 a dollar as of 10:31 a.m. in Mumbai, headed for its biggest drop in a week. That took its 2016 decline to 1.8 percent, the worst performance in Asia. The currency is just 2.2 percent shy of its record low of 68.845 seen in August 2013. It dropped to 67.66 earlier, the lowest since May 24.
Rajan’s Exit Notice Before ‘Brexit’ Poses Stress Test For India: Foreign Media Agency | Mumbai
As if Britain’s possible exit from the European Union wasn’t enough to worry about, India investors now must cope with central bank Governor Raghuram Rajan’s impending departure. The rupee, Asia’s worst performing currency this year, slumped Monday to its lowest level in four weeks following Rajan’s weekend announcement that he plans to return to academia when his term ends in September. Volatility in the currency also climbed after surging the most since August last week, while Indian sovereign bonds declined. “Clearly investors will not like this and you will see this in markets,” said Sean Yokota, the head of Asia strategy at Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken

International Yoga Day: Uncertainty over Jalandhar dist team’s participation
2 / Dt. 21-06-2016, Tuesday Editors’ Picks tuesday, june 21, 2016
Rajan has had an eventful three years as governor of RBI. What next?
Raghuram Rajan, who announced over the weekend that he was going back to teaching at the University of Chicago, will end up completing just one term in September this year, unlike three of his predecessors, each of whom had a stint of five years. That’s a pity. Rajan had indicated that he was open to another term in office to complete an unfinished agenda. It is unfortunate that the government allowed its silence following the petty-minded attack on him by BJP MP, Subramanian Swamy, to be read as its acquiescence in the questioning of Rajan’s personal integrity and “nationalism”. It is perplexing that a regime that has shown high ambition in its engagement with the world, economically and otherwise, should let itself be seen to be insecure about the Indian intellectual/policymaker’s “foreign” credentials. Certainly, it is possible to have differences with Governor Rajan on the approach adopted by the central bank during his stewardship. Arguably, the bank kept interest rates far too high for far too long by focusing on consumer price inflation alone and ignoring the impact of deflation for producers as measured by the wholesale price index. By not cutting interest rates and easing liquidity when the economy needed it, the central bank may have worsened an already deep investment and growth slowdown. Equally debatable is the asset quality review and policy of making banks undertake aggressive provisioning by setting aside more capital against bad loans. While well-intended, the damage done by this measure — in terms of promoting extreme risk-aversion among lenders just when the economy is on the mend — may not be insignificant. Yet, any fair assessment of Rajan’s tenure —not the campaign of whisper and insinuation against him in these last few weeks — cannot ignore his role in stabilising the rupee during September 2013, when the Indian economy faced a 1991-like foreign exchange crisis. He was India’s first policymaker who declared that promoters had no “divine right” to stay in charge or use the banking system to recapitalise their failed ventures. There couldn’t have been a more passionate advocate of a modern rule-based capitalist system in a country where crony-capitalists had, and continue to enjoy, a free ride. These — along with transparent licensing of new banks, creation of an integrated bill payments system and, of course, ushering in a monetary policy/inflation targeting framework jointly with the finance ministry — are contributions that will outlive his term as governor. Added to all of this was the tremendous credibility that he brought to policy formulation in India — emerging as one of India’s most powerful ambassadors of economic policy, parallel to Prime Minister Modi’s global diplomacy. Governor Rajan also brought in a refreshing approach in terms of voicing his opinion on a range of public issues. His thoughtful intervention in the intolerance debate, for instance, enriched public discourse — but evidently won him few friends in a remarkably thin-skinned ruling dispensation. That the government is willing, at a delicate economic juncture, to let go of one of the finest minds in its economic policymaking team, raises questions for which it is yet to offer any convincing answers.

Hunar Hale, Nandini of ‘Ek Boond Ishq’, to get hitched to Mayank Gandhi
Agency | Mumbai Hunar Hale who is best known for her role of Nandini in popular television show Ek Boond Ishq, is all set to tie the knot with MTV Splitsvilla season 7 winner Mayank Gandhi. Looks like it’s raining weddings this monsoon for television actors. After Divyanka Tripathi

and Vivek Dahiya, Hunar and Mayank are all set to tie the knot this season. Their wedding bells will toll on August 28 post a mehendi, sangeet and a cocktail function. It was an arranged meeting between the two which turned into mutual love. Hunar revealed, “The first time we spoke on the
phone, it was three hours behind the scheduled time to call him. Like a stern producer, he said, ‘Hunar, your call time was 2 pm’. And that witty remark was an impressive start.” Mayank Gandhi’s ex-girlfriend, Mihika Verma too got hitched a US-based NRI businessman last month. The duo has happily accepted each other’s past and are hopeful to nurture a great future together. The Dahleez actress adds, “We argue and fight, but by the end of the day we are alright. We know each other’s flaws and weaknesses and still find each other absolutely amazing,”
Jalandhar boy Balraj Khera wins MTV Roadies show Agency | Jalandhar
Jalandhar-based Balraj Singh Khehra was announced the winner of television reality show MTV Roadies X4 and wants to become an actor. Even though the show’s grand finale was aired on Sunday, the shooting of the season ended about four months ago. “I am a proud turbanator and the first Sikh youth to have won a season of Roadies,” Khera, who hails from Khadoor Sahib and has been living in Jalandhar since last six years, said. Growing up in a small village, the 27-year-old always wanted to be an actor and to give wings to his dreams took part
in Mr Punjab in 2014 to emerge as the runner-up. He then started auditioning for Punjabi films. Khera started preparing physically and mentally for Roadies about a year before the auditions. He said that he won the 13th season of the show without any mind games or politics. “I am a simple person and wanted to win the show with my hon-
esty,” Khera, who was evicted from the show but later returned as a wild card entry, said. One of the judges, actor Neha Dhupia, complimented the Punjabi lad saying she sees her future husband in him. “That was the best compliment I could have ever received,” Khera, a member of Karan Kundra’s team, said with a wide grin.
Sussanne Khan, Accused of Fraud, Says ‘Such Complaints Don’t Scare Me’ Salman Khan, ex-girlfriend Katrina Agency | New Delhi
Actor Hrithik Roshan’s former wife Sussanne Khan, accused of fraud, has in turn alleged that the complaint is aimed at ‘intimidating’ her into withdrawing a breach of contract suit that she filed against the firm in question. Ms Khan was booked for cheating a real estate firm named Emgee Properties out of Rs 1.87 crore by falsely posing as an architect. Ms Khan, an interior designer by profession, said in a statement on Sunday that her contract had been wrongfully terminated and that she was owed money by Emgee Properties. The complaint of cheating was to ‘pressur-

ize’ her into dropping her case, said Ms Khan in a statement. A statement on behalf of Sussanne Khan, who is currently in London, read: “This is with reference to news appearing in a section of media where it has been reported that I have cheated Emgee Enterprises and misrepresent-
ed that I am an Architect. The said complaint is motivated and preposterous and has been only filed to intimidate me and pressurize me to withdraw the arbitration proceedings initiated by me in the first instance to recover my dues and damages resulting from breach of contract.”
Like every year, Baba Siddiqui’s Iftar party was a star-studded affair this time too. While his Iftar party in 2013 had made headlines when Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, who were rivals then, were seen greeting each other, this time it was Salman and his ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif who grabbed much of the attention at the party. Salman, whose much-awaited film Sultan will hit theatres on Eid, attended an Iftar party on Sunday (June 19) evening at a five-star hotel in Bandra. Actress Katrina Kaif was also
seen at the same party. She was accompanied by director Kabir Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar. Salman was expected to arrive with his rumoured girlfriend Iulia Vantu. However, the Dabangg star was seen alone. And unsurprisingly, instead of Iulia it was Salman’s ex-girlfriend Katrina, dressed in a Manish
Malhotra floor-length anarkali, who was the talk of the town. Salman’s parents and her sister’s family were also seen at the event. Reportedly, Katrina and Salman were also seen sharing a cute moment with baby Ahil (Salman’s nephew), who also came with parents Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma.
Anil told agency. The Dil Dhadakne Do star reveals his children have not seen a lot of his films. “They (children) have not seen many of my films. I think my son has hardly seen my work. They belong to a different school of films,” he said. On the day the trailer of 24 was launched, the teaser of Mirziya, that marks Harshvardhan’s debut in Bollywood, was out too. According to Kapoor, it was a moment of double
celebration for him. “It’s a mind blowing teaser. It’s fantastic. I don’t want to talk about it. He (Harshvardhan) and his work will speak for itself,” he said. “There are people who don’t even know that he is my son, people thought I have two daughters. I have not spoken about him or taken him with me. I think it is better if it happens organically (referring to popularity),” he said.
Glad I’m not stereotyped In my family, no one is fan of anymore: Sunny Leone each other, says Anil Kapoor Agency | Mumbai
Agency | Mumbai
It has been five years since she was introduced as the former porn star controversial reality show Bigg Boss. Sunny Leone has appeared in 15 Indian films since then (including guest appearances) but the industry mostly looked at her as an adult star, not an actor. The perception seems to be changing now, Leone has claimed. “Initially I was perceived in a certain way. But now I can proudly say that people have accepted me and are approaching me for good work. I am glad that I am not stereotyped in the industry,” Sunny said. Sunny, who made her Bollywood debut with the erotic thriller Jism 2 in 2012 and went on to do films like Ragini MMS 2, Ek Paheli
Despite working in the film industry for nearly four decades and winning several accolades for his performances, actor Anil Kapoor has revealed that his three children are not fan of him or his work. In Kapoor’s family, his elder daughter Sonam is a popular actress, younger daughter Rhea is a producer and son Harshvardhan is also an actor. But all of them are not biased while expressing their views about each other’s work. “We all are very honest with each other’s work. No one is a fan of each other, everyone takes class of each other. They (children) are not like look at our father what great work he has done. Even I don’t look at it that way when it comes to what Sonam and Rhea have done so far,”
Leela and many more, will was seen in an item number in Luv U Alia that hit theatres on June 17. The film is based on divorce issues and Sunny feels that such problems are definitely on the rise these days. “Divorce is definitely on the rise these days due to high
levels of stress. Without patience and trust, it’s extremely difficult for a couple to cope with the pressures. My husband and I are very clear on the kind of relationship that we want and hence there’s a lot of love, respect and admiration for each other.”she said.

Hard to man mark ‘superstars’ like Bale: Russia coach on Wales clash
JLR to launch petrol variant of Discovery Sport in India
Agency | Mumbai Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd on Monday said it will launch the petrol variant of its Land Rover Discovery Sport in the country. The 2-litre petrol model delivering a power output of 177 kW will cost Rs.56.50 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the company said in a statement. JLR started selling the 2.2 litre TD4 and SD4 diesel variants in the Indian market since September 2015. The launch of the new variant follows the Supreme Court ban on sales of diesel vehicles with engines over 2 litres in the National Capital region. To be sure, JLR and Mercedes Benz India Pvt. Ltd are two luxury car makers most impacted. Even Mercedes Benz India plans to bring the petrol variant of popular models to work around the ban which came into effect from December 2015. Rohit Suri, president, Jaguar Land Rover India said the new variant will help company broaden the appeal for customers more inclined towards driving a vehicle with a powerful petrol engine along with Land Rover’s off-road capability and reliability.

Agency | Toulouse Russia coach Leonid Slutsky insists his side will not focus on Real Madrid “superstar” Gareth Bale and insists the Russians are favourites as they look to save their Euro 2016 campaign with a win in Toulouse on Monday. Bale has struck twice for Wales, in a 2-1 win over Slovakia and a 2-1 defeat to England that has left Chris Coleman’s
men on the verge of a place in the last 16 on their European Championship debut. The 26-year-old is still firing on all cylinders after helping Real Madrid to their 11th Champions League trophy in Milan last month. But Slutsky said Russia will not try to man-mark Bale. “It’s hard to man mark footballing superstars,” added Slutsky. “Gareth Bale likes to roam into different areas so we have to
mark him zonally.” A win for the Welsh, appearing in their first major finals since the 1958 World Cup, would secure their place in the knockout phase and even a draw could see them through. Russia, however, have to beat the Welsh to avoid going home early and Slutsky believes his men, based on their results so far, merit the “favourites” tag leading up to the 1900 GMT kickoff.
Four to win from one ball, MS Dhoni on strike and you expect him to smack a six or four and end it in a way only he is capable of. On Saturday, he could just manage a single off the final ball and later called the final ball from Neville Madziva, “brilliant”. Undoubtedly, it was a very good ball from the Zimbabwean medium-pacer that saw his side go up 1-0 against the touring Indians in the ongoing Twenty20 (T20) series. The moment Dhoni missed the boundary, the Dhoni critics found their voices back. Com-
ments over how the golden touch has faded began to surface, but it was only a few weeks back while leading Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS), Dhoni smacked 23 runs from Akshar Patel’s final over to help his side to a win. In fact, he hit a six off the final ball when RPS needed as many. Is Dho-
ni’s magic waning all of a sudden? No, it was coming. In fact, in T20Is, this was the fifth instance of Dhoni being unbeaten while India failed to complete a chase. Dhoni bats a lot at situations like these so such percentages are bound to be on a higher side. However, the approach is a concern.
Euro 2016: France coach Deschamps hails Pogba’s ‘great, great potential’ NBA: MVP LeBron’s virtuoso Agency | Lille France coach Didier Deschamps hailed Paul Pogba’s “great, great potential” after the midfielder put a difficult week behind him to shine in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Switzerland at Euro 2016. The Juventus star was one of few bright spots in a drab final Group A game at Lille’s Stade Pierre-Mauroy, twice clipping the crossbar and testing Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer with a crisp half-volley. Pogba created a scandal after appearing to celebrate a goal in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Albania with an explicit arm pump known in French as a ‘bras d’honneur’, but Deschamps was pleased

with his display against the Swiss after restoring the 23-year-old to the starting XI. “Paul was the animator of the game in the first half,” said Deschamps, whose side progressed to the last 16 as group winners. “He had two quality strikes. After, in the second half, he got forward less. But he has great, great poten-
tial and I have confidence in him, of course. “He only didn’t start the last match (against Albania) because we had three matches in nine days and we got back very, very late from Marseille. “It’s also because of that that I brought in a bit of freshness (making five changes). We need Paul at his highest level.”

Agency | Oakland Just as Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci has the Mona Lisa and German composer Ludwig van Beethoven his Fifth Symphony, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James now has his immortal work -- Sunday’s game seven of the NBA Finals. James completed a virtuoso performance by scoring 27 points,
grabbing 11 rebounds and passing off 11 assists to power Cleveland over the Golden State Warriors 93-89 and capture the best-of-seven series 4-3. “I watched the Beethoven of right now, LeBron James, compose a game,” Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving said. “He had a freaking triple-double in game seven of an NBA Finals. We’re champions
and our whole team is etched in history.” The Cavaliers are the first club to trail 3-1 and rally to win the finals, the epic comeback dethroning the reigning champion Warriors and spoiling their record 73-win season. “He’s one of the great players of all time and obviously was the key to the turnaround and had a great series,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. The statistical triple double, double-digit efforts in three categories, was only the third in NBA history in a finals seventh game, joining those of Los Angeles Lakers stars James Worthy in 1988 and Jerry West in 1969, and his seventh career triple double in the finals, one shy of the record.

Agency | Kolkata Like the pink ball, there was a lot riding on Mohammed Shami in the final of the CAB Super League between Mohun Bagan and Bhowanipore. If there was no opening blues for the ball on Saturday, Shami showed on Sunday that even when bowling within himself, he was too good for Bhowanipore batsmen. On a green top, the India bowler, who has struggled with surgery and
breakdowns, bounced out the Bhowanipore top-order before cleaning up the tail with sharp movement off the pitch. He went off after 2.5 overs with a stiff neck but returned to bowl three more spells. With India going to the West Indies next month, Shami finished with five for 42 bowling 13.4 overs. Hours after his spell, Shami was seen fiddling with the ball he got as keepsake. “It swung under lights and that’s what I like about this pink ball.
I would like bowling with this over a red or white cricket ball. And on a dry, flat track, I also think it will reverse. Also, it is so bright,” said Shami. To that India wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha added: “The sighting’s good. The white ball tends to lose colour after a while and the red ball does become blacker. But this one doesn’t. Also, each delivery is doing a bit. Add to that someone such as Shami bowling at 140kmph.”

Gujarat HC issues Arvind Kejriwal targets Gujarat: Gujarat BJP suspends leader notices to Kejriwal, CIC AAP yahan aaye kis liye? following rape charge
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) first contested assembly elections in Gujarat in 2012 and then the lok Sabha in 2014. All its candidates lost both elections. In 2014, the party got less than two per cent of the votes polled. Although the BJP has been dismissing AAP’s announcement that it will fight all 182 seats in the
2017 assembly elections, on the ground that Gujarat has never let a third force rise, there have been two developments since May 2014. First, the Congress had failed to elect a single MP from Gujarat in the Lok Sabha. And at a critical juncture when the party should have been strategising for 2017, it is struggling to cope with its internal politics and power equations –recently it
lost Gujarat in-charge, Gurudas Kamat, who quit the party suddenly. The bigger event however, was the emergence of the 22-year old Hardik Patel. This self-proclaimed leader of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) — an entity unacknowledged till last year– has led a stir of Patidars, demanding quota in higher education and government jobs. An ostensibly non-political rally in Ahmedabad on August 25, 2015 by the Patidars who are a loyal constituency of the BJP, which attacked the incumbent BJP government in the state, would have been unthinkable in Narendra Modi’s Gujarat.
ASI unearths remains of Buddhist monastery in Vadnagar, Gujarat Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The Archeological Survey of India (ASI) has unearthed structures resembling a Buddhist monastery in Vadnagar city of Gujarat, a finding which could further establish the importance of the region as a thriving Buddhist centre. “The latest excavation revealed structures resembling monastic cells. However, only further excavation at the site would help establish whether the structures were part of a monastery or were secular in nature,” Superintending Archaeologist of ASI (Western region) Madhulika Samanta said. “We have unearthed six-seven monastic cells but the en-

— A nursing student has accused Parul University founder Jayesh Patel of raping her Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Gujarat BJP has suspended education baron Jayesh Patel, founder of Parul University, after he was accused of rape by a student of his university in Vadodara. Mr. Patel is a local BJP leader in Vadodara and was previously with Congress and had contested Assembly polls twice. On Monday, he also resigned as president of Parul Universi-
ty and has gone underground facing arrest. “We have suspended him from the party,” said Vadodara district BJP president Dilubha Chudasama. On Sunday evening, the police arrested the university’s women hostel rector Bhavna Patel in connection with the case, which was filed by a 22-year old nursing student, who was reportedly raped by the 66-year old Mr. Patel in his residence adjacent to the women hostel. “The complaint was lodged and
medical report has also confirmed that the complainant was raped. We have formed four teams to nab the main accused,” said Vadodara rural police. In her compliant, the student stated that she was taken to Mr. Patel’s residence at night where he raped her and subsequently threatened her. “He threatened me to expel from the college and fail in the exam if I revealed [about the rape] to anyone,” the complainant stated in the FIR.
The Gujarat High Court today issued notices to the Chief Information Commissioner and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on a petition filed by the Gujarat University in connection with the row over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s post graduate degree. The Court of Justice S H Vora issued the notices to the CIC and Delhi Chief Minister on the petition challenging their authority to seek information regarding the post graduate degree of Mr Modi obtained from the university in 1981 as a MA external student. Former Advocate General of Gujarat Shelat appeared on behalf of the university. V C of University M N Patel said that the university has contended that the Delhi Chief
Minister or the CIC has no authority to seek explanation from the university. Notably, in an attempt to clear the ‘controversy’ around the educational qualifications of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Gujarat University, his alma mater from where he had taken his MA (external) degree, had in May this year put his original marks sheet in public domain. The prestigious university had put the scanned copies of the original mark sheets of Mr. Modi and another related document on its website. It shows a total of 499 marks to Mr Modi’s credit in the MA external exam with a remark of first class. The Part 1 mark sheet issued in the year 1981 shows 237 marks to his credit while the Part 2 marks are 262.
Mumbai-Ahmedabad AI flight Four power companies delayed by 4 hours due to snag in Gujarat get A+ rating tire planning can only be ascertained after extended excavation, which is not possible now because of concrete houses having been built there by locals. We have not been able to establish its religious association, but we assume that it can be a monastery,” she said. “To establish Vadnagar’s claim as a thriving Buddhist centre, this could be an import-
ant discovery, but for that we need to get land so we can carry out further excavation. For that, we have written to our head office in Delhi stating our position,” she said. The ASI carried out excavation at Vadnagar in two phases between January, 2015 and May, 2016, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who hails from Vadnagar, took office.

As per a book published by union power ministry titling ‘State Distribution Utilities Fourth Annual Integrated Rating’, all four government run power companies of Gujarat have achieved A rating. None other power company outside Gujarat has been able to get A+ rating. The companies are PGVCL, DGVCL, MGVCL and UGVCL. Rating procedure is conducted by credible institutions. Power companies that secure 80-
100 marks get A+ rating while those getting 60-80 marks are given A rating. According to power minister Saurabh Patel, under Congress led UPA government only four out of 39 power distribution companies have achieved A+ rating and all of them from Gujarat. Same companies achieved A+ rating again in 2014 and now in 2015.
