‘Sairat’ star Rinku Rajguru returns to school
Setting a record in its space programme, India on Wednesday successfully launched 20 satellites, including its earth observation Cartosat-2 series, in a single mission on board ISRO’s workhorse PSLV-C34 from the spaceport in Sriharkota, Andhra Pradesh. In a precision launch, PSLV-C34 took off from the second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre, about 110 km from Chennai at 9.26 AM and placed the Cartosat-2 Series and 19 others in the designated polar Sun
Synchronous Orbit (SSO) about 30 minutes later in clear skies. The 727.5 kg Cartosat-2 series satellite will provide regular remote sensing services with its panchromatic and multispectral cameras and its imagery will be of multiple use. Of the 19-satellites, 12 are earth imaging “Dove satellites” of USA and another American satellite. The rest are from Canada (two) and one each from Germany and Indonesia. Two academic satellites are from Sathyabama University (Sathyabamasat) in Chennai and from College
Gujarat: HC issues notice to govt on reservation of promotion of SRP personnel
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday issued a notice to the state government on a petition challenging the government’s policy of reservation being followed in the promotion of State Reserved Police (SRP) personnel. A division bench of Chief Justice R Subhash Reddy and Justice V M Pancholi issued the notice while allowing an application filed by Dadubhai Chavda, a head constable with SRP Group I in Vadodara. Chavda, in his application, said candidates from Scheduled Tribe (ST) category got “accelerated promotion” due to the policy of the state government to the dis-
of Engineering (Swayam) at Pune. Use of Cartosat 2 includes cartographic, urban and rural applications, coastal land use and regulation, utility management like road network monitoring and water distribu-
tion. Also, creation of land use maps, precision study, change detection to bring out geographical and manmade features and various other Land Information System and Geographical Information System appli-
cations can be done. It is similar to the earlier Cartosat-2, 2A and 2B. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO and described Wednesday’s launch as a “monumental” accomplishment. “20 sat-

What does Raghuram Rajan’s exit tell us about the Modi sarkar?
In the last couple of months, we have witnessed the spectacle of the intellectual hero that is the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Rajya Sabha MP, Subramanian Swamy, take on and vanquish the intellectual Raghuram Rajan, the governor of the Reserve Bank of India. While this will go down as yet another feather in Swamy’s giant-killing cap, for Rajan, this should be an occasion to reflect on the vagaries of public policymaking in India. Raghuram Rajan has announced that he will return to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business at the end of his mandate as RBI governor in September. In his announcement letter, he declared himself an academic at heart, but he does not state that he is unavailable for a second mandate. Thus, it looks very much like a polite way to relieve Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the responsibility of reappointing him. It is certainly in Rajan’s style to bow out gracefully to help others save face. Many commentators have minimised the impact of this decision by saying there are many capable people in India, people as capable as Rajan. In a country with 1.2 billion people, it’s impossible that there are not many people of similar calibre as Rajan. Yet, what makes Rajan unique is not just his IQ, his excellent training, or his impressive CV. What makes him unique is a combination of wisdom, sound principles, and integrity, not to mention his superstar academic status that shields him from the worst consequences that loyalty to these principles generally produces. Many smart people tend to be fascinated by their own cleverness and fall in love with some form of centralised planning, which maximises their control. Rajan, instead, had the wisdom not to make this mistake. He strongly believes in the power of decentralised markets, while at the same time, not being a free-market ideologue. He is not afraid to point out when markets fail, as he did before the then Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan. Most importantly, he is not afraid to identify when the rich and the powerful are distorting the rules of the market to their own advantage. These characteristics make him rare. What makes him even rarer is that he is not for sale. When they are not seduced by socialist principles, smart people tend to put themselves at the service of the rich and powerful. After all, that is where the money is. Rajan is not one of those. His main goal has been to improve the living conditions in his country. In pursuit of this goal, he is not afraid to challenge powerful interests, as he has done during his tenure as the RBI governor — a challenge that most likely cost him his job. It is rare — not just in India but everywhere — that people with Rajan’s wisdom, principles, and integrity reach the top. To progress in their careers, most politicians and public servants are forced to compromise. If they do not, they are condemned to the gulag of irrelevance. Rajan is different. He gained his prestige in the highly competitive American academic market. And now his academic superstar status allows him to say no to anybody he wants to and to live happily with the consequences. I suspect this is also the real reason why he has been so vehemently attacked by the local politicians. He was accused of being “mentally not fully Indian” because he holds an American working permit, or in other words, an outside option.

“A nominated member of Rajya Sabha with BJP’s backing has launched a scathing attack on the Chief Economic Advisor of the Prime Minister, Arvind Subramanian and has described him as an agent of US Pharma companies. But the Prime Minister has not uttered a word on this issue,” - The Congress spokesperson P.L.

Priyanka Chopra has the smoothest Once Again: Emraan Hashmi to Work With Ajay Devgn in Baadshaho response to the armpit controversy
Agency | New Delhi Baywatch star Priyanka Chopra sure is a smooth operator. Even as the world ranted and raved over whether a magazine had photoshopped her armpits on its cov-
er, the actor had the best response to the whole controversy. She took to Twitter and gave us a #nofilter glimpse at her “pit-stopping” underarms without mentioning whether they have been
airbrushed in the said picture or not. After the world got over how “incredibly hot” Priyanka Chopra was looking on the cover of a men’s magazine recently, it noticed her armpits. They looked more like a newborn baby’s bottom, as a Twitter user pointed out, than human armpits. Before you can say photoshop, there was ‘pit-a-monium’ on Twitter. Or as some are calling it, the ‘armpitsgate’. It seems when Maxim India named Baywatch star Priyanka ‘hottest woman in the world’, they decided the claim should stand all kinds of scrutiny and decided on making her perfection, armpits and all. So you see no fuzz and no folds when you look at her on the cover.

Actors Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi will costar in Milan Luthria’s historical fiction Baadshaho. Apart from Ajay and Emraan, the film will also feature Ileana D’Cruz, Esha Gupta and Vidyut Jammwal in pivotal roles. Co-produced by Milan and Bhushan Kumar and written by Rajat Aroraa, Baadshaho is a thriller set in the Emergency era of the 70s. “This is a historical fiction film. We have used some facts and there is lot of stuff that was unusual and exciting. It (Emergency as subject) is a great backdrop for action and thrills. We have done extensive research on the subject,” Milan told
Agency. “It’s a historical fiction film. All characters are grey,” said Milan. Ajay and Emraan costarred in Milan’s 2010 film Once Upon A Time In Mumbai. In Baadshaho, they will sport a different look. “Their (Ajay and Emraan) look will be completely different. It will be rustic. The look will be timeless,” Milan
said. Milan Luthria will collaborate with a foreign action director for Baadshaho. The music includes Rajasthani folk with a funky twist, composed by Ankit Tiwari. The film is all set to go on floors this August with a 15-day schedule in Mumbai, followed by a two month schedule in Rajasthan.

Balatkar was mentioned innumerable times in the speech. “Seeke inse seeke…dika denge sabko jo balatkar karne ki kshamtaa yaha ke chaatro mein hai wo sansaar ke kisi chaatro mein nahiii (Learn from him. We will show everyone that no other students have the power to

We hear such phrases in conversations on streets and in homes all the time. Unfortunately, much of the abuse refers to women — and women often mouth them with equal ease.

Agency | Mumbai Deepika Padukone is back home. The star spent a really long time away from Bollywood and her rumoured beau Ranveer Singh. Preparing for your Hollywood debut with Vin Diesel in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage does that to
you. But this also started rumours about a rift between the Bajirao Mastani couple. First, she was away. Now, Ranveer is shooting for Befikre, on location, in Paris. She said that she has never commented on the subject of the relationship she shares with Ranveer Singh and she has no
plans of doing so now as well. She goes on to say, “He is someone who has always been and will always be an extremely important part of my life. That’s never going to change.” So people shipping these real life stars can stop being agitated by the rumours. All is well.
From announcing that he had left every vice “like cigarettes, alcohol and coffee except women” and that his punishing training routine for the film Sultan, where he essays the role of a wrestler, left him feeling like a “raped woman”, actor Salman Khan was doing what he does so effortlessly — no, not Being Human, just himself. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. Rape is a word tossed around casually, often by men, sometimes by women. Sometimes to compare a violation, sometimes just to evoke a few laughs.

When Mouni quizzed Madhuri about one of her statements where she said that she does not consider herself to be pretty, Madhuri said: “Those were my early struggling days and I used to feel I don’t actually fit into the ‘perfect’ size of heroines back then in Bollywood. “And I used to think that way majorly because of the continuous criticisms I used to face from outsiders. But that didn’t deter my path to success and I worked hard and I think I have accomplished what I had set out for.”

Agency | Bridgetown Mitchell Marsh hit an unbeaten 79 and captain Steve Smith scored 78 in a 122-run stand Tuesday to lead Australia to a six-wicket victory over the West Indies and a spot in the final of the limited-overs tri-series. Australia reached 283-4 with eight balls to spare, surpassing the West Indies 282-8. Marsh hit six fours off 85 deliveries during a fourth-wicket stand with his skipper, who occu-
pied 107 balls and struck five boundaries. Glenn Maxwell supplied a typically innovative 46 not out off 26 balls to help Marsh reach the victory target in the next-to-last over. The West Indies’ total was built on a fine 125 off 134 balls from Marlon Samuels and his record fourth-wicket stand of 192 with Denesh Ramdin, who compiled 91 off 92 deliveries. Left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc took 3-51 for Australia, which
is guaranteed a spot in the final here Sunday against the winner of Friday’s match between the West Indies and South Africa. Australia’s run chase stuttered early when they lost both openers with the score at 35. Aaron Finch (16) spooned a catch to midon off Carlos Brathwaite, while rookie Shannon Gabriel had Usman Khawaja (17) caught behind. Smith and George Bailey added 64 for the third wicket to turn the momentum, while Marsh and Smith further consolidated Australia’s advantage. When Smith was run out, there were still 62 needed from 8.2 overs. Maxwell played some thrilling strokes, including a switch-hit six off Sunil Narine as the run chase was completed in style.

KFC’s Watt A Box will charge your smartphone, while you eat
KFC garnered a lot of accolades for its recently launched 5-in-1 Meal Box. And the fast-food chain has now introduced an all new ‘gadgety’ variant of the same box. The limited edition box comes with a built-in power bank. Dubbed as ‘Watt a Box,’ it lets you charge your smartphone as you go about enjoying your meal. KFC has said that a few lucky customers at select KFC stores in Mumbai and Delhi will get a chance to have their 5-in-1 Meal served in ‘Watt a Box’. Along with this, users can also participate in an online contest on KFC India’s Facebook page and win more of these limited edition boxes. Speaking about the same, Lluis Ruiz Ribot, CMO, KFC India said, “We launched the 5-in-1 Meal Box in March this year with the objective of providing an abundant complete meal and at an affordable price for our customers. With the launch of Watt a Box, we have gone a step ahead and also introduced an element of utility into the box. Each one of us spends a considerable time on our smartphones daily, and the phone battery going dead is almost like a nightmare! No longer is that the case, with the Watt a Box around”. In the past too, food chains have tried to give a ‘tech twist’ to their offerings.
SPORTS ROUNDUP Olympian Anju Bobby George resigns as Sports Council president of Kerala
Agency | Thiruvananthapuram Olympian Anju Bobby George resigned as president of Sports Council of Kerala today after she locked horns with Minister for Sports EP Jayarajan. Anju announced her decision to resign from the post of president of Sports Council of Kerala at executive committee meeting of the Council held today. Other committee members also of-
fered to resign. She was appointed as President of Sports Council of Kerala in 2015 November by Oommen Chandy government. Currently she is working with Customs and Central Excise Department in Bangalore. “I’ve decided to resign from the post of president of Sports Council of Kerala. I can’t stand humiliation. I’ve worked to the best of my ability to improve facilities for the development of sports
in Kerala and nurture talents,” Anju told India Today. Her resignation took a political turn as Ramesh Chennithala, leader of Opposition blamed the Pinarayi government for “chucking her out of Sports Council”. “Anju was forced to resign as the government had humiliated her. It’s most unfortunate. She is an eminent sports person and LDF government treated her like a party worker,” Chennithala told India Today. Earlier she had alleged that the sports minister misbehaved with her when she met him officially to brief him about the affairs of sports in the state on June 7. However, Jayarajan denied the charges and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also defended him.

We’re obviously a long way off.” Messi flicked the ball over the defence to an open Lavezzi for the opener, then doubled the lead in the 32nd minute with his 55th international goal, his fifth of the tournament. Higuain added goals in the 50th and 86th minutes, the latter off Messi’s pass. Argentina had 67% possession and outshot the US 10-0—nine of them on goal. “Once we were 1-nil down, we had far too much respect,” US coach Jurgen Klinsmann said.
We’re one of favourites now, say buoyant Croatia after defeating Spain Agency | Bordeaux
Agency | Nottingham England captain Eoin Morgan praised Chris Woakes, Jos Buttler and Liam Plunkett for getting his side “out of a hole” as the first one-day international against Sri Lanka ended in a thrilling tie. Set 287 to win, England collapsed to 30 for four and 82 for six in Nottingham on Tuesday. But a stand of 138 between Buttler (93) and man-ofthe-match Woakes, who made 95 not out — the
highest ODI score by any number eight batsman — revived the innings. England’s hopes of victory disappeared in a final over where they needed 14 to win in front of a capacity crowd at a floodlit Trent Bridge. However, with six required to tie off the last ball, tailender Plunkett drove Nuwan Pradeep over long-off to seal the tie, in what was a stunning start to the fivematch series. This was Plunkett’s first match at
this level since September, but the fast bowler said he was confident his reputation as a big hitter in county cricket would be maintained on the international stage. “I was telling myself I have been hitting it well for Yorkshire — ‘stay still and hope I get enough on it to get it out of the ground’,” said Plunkett. “You know when you have nailed the ball, it’s like on a golf course off the tee, a similar feeling.”

Former Asian Games gold-medallist Vikas Krishan (75kg) became the third Indian boxer to enter the quarters of the World Olympic Qualifying Tournament here and be just one win away from booking a bert in the Rio Games this August. Seeded second in his draw, Vikas out-witted Georgia’s Kvachatadze Zaal 3-0 late on Tuesday night to advance to the last-eight stage where he will take on Korea’s Lee Dongyun. “Vikas dominated all three rounds and did not have to work too hard for
this win. The Georgian guy tried his best but Vikas kept his composure and in the end it was easy for him,” national coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu said. Vikas, a former World Championships bronze-medallist, joined Manoj Kumar (64kg) and Sumit Sangwan (81kg) in the quarterfinals. All three have to make the semis to book an Olympic berth besides being assured of a medal. Commonwealth Games silver-medallist L Devendro Singh (49kg), seeded
fourth, is through to the semifinals but has to be in the summit clash of his weight category to clinch a Rio spot. After a rest day today, Vikas, Manoj and Sumit will compete in their respective quarterfinal bouts tomorrow. Devendro, on the other hand, will be seen in action on Friday. Devendro will face Spain’s Samuel Heredia, who stunned top seed Dmytro Zamotaev of Ukraine. Zamotaev is a World Championships and European Championships bronze-medallist.

If one looks into the grassroot level functioning of NREGA, then work is happening, but what is the kind of work that’s happening, that needs to be seen… It is mindless labour in which there is no freedom.

But I caught two of them from their necks. They were fined Rs 30,000 for animal teasing,” said Rozina, a native of Javantri village near Talala.
