Development of the NE region through its pro-active Act East Policy
Describing the Northeast as India’s gateway to South East Asia, the PM asked the states of the region to take full advantage of this
The NDA government at the Centre was keen on reducing isolation of the Northeastern region through its ambitious Act East Policy which in turn would improve allround connectivity of the region, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday in Shillong. PM Modi was in the Northeast for the second time in four days. “The gov-
ernment has been focusing on development of the Northeastern region through its pro-active Act East Policy. As part of this policy, we are focusing on reducing the isolation of the region by improving all round connectivity through road, rail, telecom, power and waterways sectors,” said PM Modi. He was speak- ern Council (NEC) in the ing at the 65th plenary Meghalaya capital.

tries. This should give a boost to the economic development of the region,” he said. “The North East region is also very important to us for strategic reasons. And it is my conviction that we have to bring this region at par with the other developed
regions of the country. In the current Budget, more than Rs.30,000 crores have been earmarked for the Northeastern region. It should be our endeavour to ensure that this money is spent well for the development of the region,” said PM Modi.
Reiterating the NDA government’s belief in cooperative and competitive federalism, prime minister Modi said that states that were strong and want to grow further, needed to be given adequate authority and resources. “And states that are not so strong need to be given needful assistance. It is in this regard that based on the report of the Committee of Chief Ministers, we have decided to continue to provide assistance in the ratio of 90:10 for core Central schemes and 80:20 for non-core schemes to the Northeastern states,” he
said. The Centre, he said in 2014 created a specialised highways construction agency for the North East. This agency – National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDC) – was currently implementing 34 projects in the region covering a length of 1001 km at a total cost of over Rs. 10,000 crore, the prime minister said. Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya were put up on the rail map. Agartala has also been connected with broad gauge line. We are on the way to ensure that all the Northeastern states come on the rail map soon.
ment’s proactive agenda for a peaceful and prosperous neighbourhood began from the very first day of his government. “I
have said that the future that I wish for India is the future that I dream for my neighbours. My visit to Lahore was a clear projection of this belief,” he said. Ruling out a change in India’s decades-old policy of non-alignment, Modi said that despite the border dispute, there have been no clashes with China, pointing out the “new way” in today’s “interdependent world” unlike the last century.

Indo-Pak ties can “truly scale great heights” if Pakistan removes the “self-imposed” obstacle of terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said as he asked Islamabad to play its part by putting a complete stop to any kind of support to terrorism - “whether state or nonstate”. “In my view, our ties can truly scale great heights once Pakistan removes the self-imposed obstacle of terrorism in the path of our relationship.” “We are ready to take the first step, but the
path to peace is a twoway street,” Modi told The Wall Street Journal, in comments posted on its website today. He said he has always maintained that instead of fighting with each other, India and Pakistan should together fight against poverty. “Naturally we expect Pakistan to play its part,” he said. “But, there can be no compromise on terrorism. It can only be stopped if all support to terrorism, whether state or non-state, is completely stopped.” “Pakistan’s failure to take effective action in punish-

2 / Dt. 28-05-2016, Saturday Editors’ Picks saturday, may 28, 2016 The problem begins with the way we define “urban” and “rural”
As per the 2011 Census, there are 6,40,930 villages in India, of which around 6,00,000 can be regarded as inhabited. The Census, though, treats rural or village population as a residual even as it has different categories of “urban”. If a settlement is under a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or a notified town area committee, it becomes a statutory town and is hence urban. Another definition of urban is linked to demographic characteristics: If in a population size of 5,000, 75 per cent of the male working population is engaged in non-agricultural pursuits and the population density exceeds 400 people per sq km, this becomes a Census town, regardless of whether it is a statutory town or not. This reclassification — a deviation from the traditional notions of urbanisation, which we link to the natural rate of growth in urban areas or rural-urban migration — also results in urbanisation. In fact, between 2001 and 2011, a large chunk of increased urbanisation was because of Census towns and not statutory ones. There is also the matter of an urban outgrowth, when a village (or hamlet) is physically contiguous to a town and possesses urban features; it is then treated as an urban agglomeration. Therefore, anything other than a statutory town, Census town or urban agglomeration is a village. In that sense, the village is residual, regardless of its population size. The population can be 10,000 people or it can also be 100 people. I find it odd that the 2011 Census showed 222 villages in the (National Capital Territory), though I understand the definitional issue. There is a process for transition to the “urban”, but that hasn’t yet occurred for these 222 villages. There is a notification, land is acquired by the DDA and during the transition from a panchayat to municipality, there is understandable speculation on the land. You can thus find one side of a road that is “urban” and an opposite side still “rural”, like the area near Masoodpur village. As per the 2001 data, 91,000 villages had population size less than 200, with almost 13,000 of them in Odisha and around 9,000 in HP and UP. There were 1,27,000 villages with population sizes between 200 and 499, with their concentration in UP, Odisha, MP and even Maharashtra. Delivering public goods and services in a village with a population size of 10,000, where there is a gram panchayat, is relatively easy. Delivering it in a village with a population size less than 200 is much more difficult. Delivering it in every habitation within the village is even more difficult. I forgot to mention that some villages with small population sizes are in difficult geographical terrain.

Was intimidated by Amit Trivedi: Kanika Kapoor
Agency | New Delhi Kanika Kapoor could not believe her luck when she got a call from music director Amit Trivedi to record a song for “Udta Punjab” and the singer says she was nervous before the recording. The “Baby Doll” hitmaker says it was a wish come true to work with Trivedi as she admires his work a lot. “When I got a call from him, I was a bit surprised. When I went to see him, I was nervous and a little intimidated… I am new in the industry and I have been fan of him but he
made me very comfortable. He explained the whole script and we just recorded the song the same day,” Kanika told agency. The 38-year-old singer said she was not sure the “Lootera” music director would use her voice. “I called him and said, ‘Sir, I will come back and do a proper recording and this was just the scratch.’ He told me not to worry. “I thought he did not want to use my voice. A few days later I called him and said, ‘Sir, you are using my voice, right?’ He said, ‘We loved it! It’s very raw and that’s what I like about your voice.’”

‘Veerappan’ review: Brilliant camerawork but mediocre otherwise Agency | Mumbai There are three elements that work in Ram Gopal Varma’s film on the notorious bandit Veerappan. The first is the real life story itself, the second is the casting and styling of Sandeep Bharadwaj as Veerappan (he played the same part in the original Kannada film, Killing Veerappan) and the third is the locations and production design. The list of things that do not work is longer: the jarring background music, which Varma cannot seem to do without; the lack of smart editing, which could have shaved off a substantial amount of flab from the narrative; a few of the performances, in particular the monotonous Sachiin Joshi as the leader of the special task
force focused on tracking down the bandit and the one-dimensional all-bad Veerappan. While we are given an academic account of the rise of Veerappan, we learn nothing new about him—his modus operandi, how he came to marry, what he did with all this wealth. Varma’s interest is mainly in Operation Cocoon, which led to Veerappan’s killing in 2004. The film opens with an attack on a local police outpost and the brutal killing of a se-
nior cop. The law enforcement agencies are repeatedly being out-gunned by Veerappan and his gang. Finally, the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka police forces unite to form a combined task force to flush out and kill the sandalwood and ivory smuggler. Kannan (Joshi), the head of the task force, recruits the dead cop’s wife (Lisa Ray) to befriend and spy on Veerappan’s wife Muthulakshmi (Usha Jadhav), who is in police custody.

Sultan is Salman Khan’s best performance: Randeep Hooda Salman Khan has given one of the best performances of his career in Sultan says Randeep Hooda Agency | Mumbai
Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda says superstar Salman Khan has given one of the best performances of his career in their upcoming film “Sultan”. Produced by Yash Raj Films, “Sultan” stars Salman in the titular role and centres around a wrestler who has problems in his professional and personal life. When asked how was it working with the “Dabangg” star, Randeep told report-

I loved being a part of ‘Kick’ and now I am a part of ‘Sultan’.” The actor was speaking at the success party of his latest release “Sarbjit” last evening. Randeep said his part in the Ali Abbas Zafar-directed sports drama is smaller than “Kick”, but it is still a

As bodies return from Everest, relatives struggle to cope
Agency | Kathmandu Climbers on Friday found the body of one of two Indians who went missing near the top of Mount Everest, while a helicopter brought back the body of an Australian woman who died on the mountain. Worsening weather was forcing everyone to descend to safety, with the last missing climber presumed dead. The discovery of Paresh Chandra Nath’s body brings the official Everest death toll this year to four. Searchers were unable to find the body of a fifth climber, Gautam Ghosh, who disappeared along with Nath on May 21. Without official confirmation that Ghosh had died, his family in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata still held out hope he had somehow survived. He had been attempting to climb Everest for a fourth time, after failing to reach the summit on previous attempts.

IPL review: Business end blemishes cost Kolkata Knight Riders Agency | New Delhi
If there is one team in the IPL which knows how to win crunch moments, it is Kolkata Knight Riders . This rare quality has fetched KKR and Gautam Gambhir two IPL titles, but this season the team staggered during the business end of IPL 2016, winning just two of their last six league games before being knocked out in the Eliminator by Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR’s successful run in the past few seasons has owed much to the openers Gambhir and Robin Uthappa’s good form, and in this edition too the pair began well by scoring 461 runs in the first nine matches for the opening wicket, which included four fifty-plus stands and one hundred-run partnership.

Sachin Tendulkar is also open to the idea of daynight Test cricket which he feels can make the format attractive for audiences Agency | Dubai
The iconic Sachin Tendulkar feels that India’s current No.1 batsman Virat Kohli’s secret of success is playing with a “straight bat” and “visualising all three formats without ever compromising on his technique”. “Virat presents the straight bat and scores with good cricketing shots. He is a special talent and he works hard on his game. His discipline and commitment has to be emulated. He visualises
different formats without ever compromising on his technique. In addition, he is very strong mentally and thrives in pressure situations,” Tendulkar told ‘Gulf News’ in an interview. Tendulkar was all praise for the quality of cricket in the Indian Premier League, which he believes is on an upswing in recent times. “The level of competition in the IPL has been steadily growing. We have had last
couple of seasons, where the last match of the pool has decided the final standings and the teams for the knockout phase. It is great for the tournament as the interest level is maintained throughout,” he said. While T20s are about entertainment where spectators want a fair share of fours and sixes, Tendulkar feels that in Test cricket, there should be something for the bowlers too.

tor, the duo managed just 105 runs. Getting starts is massive in T20, but in this regard KKR were sorely let down. While Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell powered KKR home three times from unlikely positions, the rest of the middle order cut a sorry figure. Generally a settled unit, KKR are not known to tinker much with their playing XI irrespective of winning or losing, but this season there were a lot of changes - some forced, some in accordance with match conditions and some that made little
sense. KKR’s spin-heavy bowling attack has been one of the most potent units in the tournament’s history, but this season it lacked that defining edge. Crucially, their lead spinner Sunil Narine, with a remodelled action, was not at his best. Narine (11), Piyush Chawla (11), Shakib Al Hasan (5), Kuldeep Yadav (6) and Brad Hogg (4) combined to take 37 wickets, while pacers Russell (15), Morne Morkel (10), Umesh Yadav (10), and Ankit Rajpoot (3) grabbled 38.

Heath Streak Steps Down As SC refuses urgent hearing of Bangladesh Bowling Coach
plea against NEET Ordinance Agency | New Delhi

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to accord urgent hearing and grant interim stay on the operation of recently-promulgated ordinance which allows States to continue with their separate entrance tests for MBBS and BDS courses for academic year 2016-17. “Let us not create further confusion on medical entrance test and let there be some certainty for the students. Moreover, this (ordinance) is there for one year only,” a vacation bench of Justices P.C. Pant and D.Y. Chandrachud said while declining urgent hearing of the plea filed by an Indore-based doctor on the issue. “Let
the matter come up for hearing after the (summer) vacation,” it said. The court prima facie did not agree with the submission of senior advocate Vivek Tankha, appearing for petitioner Anand Rai who also claims to be a whistle blower in the Vyapam scam, that the government was not competent to nullify the
judicial order by promulgating the ordinance. Attorney-General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the Centre, said the ordinance, which keeps State boards outside the purview of single medical entrance test NEET, is only for this academic year and the government was well within its right to come up with it.
