20 fighter jets touch down on Agra-Lucknow expressway

The aircraft touchdown exercise is now taking place on the stretch near Bangarmau in Unnao district, about 65 km from Lucknow. Traffic has been restricted in the area.
The IAF’s Special Forces Garud commandos got off the C-130J transport aircraft with their vehicle, and took positions on either side of the expressway to secure “their airstrip” for the fighter aircraft.
This is the first time a transport aircraft – a Super Hercules, which can carry 200 commandos – is landing on an expressway. These planes were inducted into the air force in 2010.IAF Vice Chief Air Marshal SB Deo said on the sidelines of an event in Delhi ahead of the exercise that the IAF is also landing transport aircraft, the C-130 which is special operations aircraft.
For the next two hours or so, a fighter aircraft will carry out a touch and go manoeuvre on the expressway every few minutes.
Three Jaguar deep penetration strike aircraft will be followed up by six Mirage 2000 aircrafts flying in two formations and then, two more formations of three aircraft each of Sukhoi-30MKI.
The C-130 will return for another short landing to extricate the Garud Commandos.
IAF fighter planes, Mirage-2000 fighters and Sukhoi-30, have twice landed on expressways in Uttar Pradesh. The first was in 2015 when a Mirage-2000 landed on the Yamuna expressway near Delhi.
Last November, six multirole combat aircraft Sukhoi-30 jets touched down on a 3.3 km stretch of the Lucknow – Agra expressway.
About a dozen highways that are wide enough and have a smooth road surface for the fighter jets – across the country have been identified for similar landing operations to be used in case of emergencies including disaster relief and war.

Govt waives off penalty on delayed filing of initial GST return

The government today waived off penalty on delayed filing of initial Goods and Services Tax (GST) returns for the months of August and September.
In a tweet, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said, the decision to waive off late fee on filing of GSTR-3B for last two months has been taken to facilitate taxpayers. He said, the late fee which has been already charged to businesses will be credited back to taxpayers’ accounts.
The government had earlier waived late fee for delayed filing of the maiden returns for the month of July under the GST regime.
Businesses have been demanding that the government waives penalty for delayed filing of 3B returns.
As per the data, around 56 lakh GSTR-3B returns were filed for July, 51 lakh for August and over 42 lakh for September.
Preliminary returns GSTR-3B for a month is filed on the 20th day of the next month after paying due taxes.

ONGC plans to raise oil output

State-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has drawn a blueprint to raise crude oil production by 4 metric tonne (MT) and almost double natural gas output by 2020.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, ONGC Chairman Shashi Shanker said, the Prime Minister had given a call to cut country’s oil imports by 10 per cent by 2022 and ONGC’s roadmap for meeting that is ready.
The state-owned firm will raise crude oil production from 22.6 MT in 2017-18 to 26.42 MT in 2021-22. The nation’s biggest oil and gas producer has prepared the ‘Roadmap for Import Reduction’ two years after Mr Modi set the target for reducing oil import dependence by 10 per cent, from 77 per cent in 2013-14.
India spend almost 1 trillion dollar on crude imports from financial year 2005-06 to 2015-16.

UN said more than 11 million Yemeni children need humanitarian aid as a result of a war raging since March
2015.
The UN’s humanitarian coordination agency OCHA, which described the conflict as “devastating” said that children are facing the largest food security crisis in the world and an unprecedented cholera outbreak.
A Saudi-led Arab military coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015 to support the government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi after Iran-backed Huthi rebels forced him into exile.
The United Nations has listed Yemen as the world’s number one humanitarian crisis, with seven million people on the brink of famine and a cholera outbreak that has caused more than 2,000 deaths.

Prez Xi Jinping’s now, ideology into party constitution

China’s ruling Communist Party today endorsed to amended its Constitution to add President Xi Jinping’s name and ideology, elevating him on par with party founder Mao Zedong and his successor Deng Xiaoping.
Xi’s concept of “socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era” was added to the party’s Constitution at the end of the Communist Party’s week-long once-in-a-five-year
Congress. According to a resolution of the 19th CPC National Congress, the amendment to the CPC’s Constitution was approved making 64-year-old Xi’s ideology as a new component of the
party’s guide for action. The inclusion of Xi’s name along with his ideology has elevated him to the same political league as Mao and Deng. Mao and Deng are the only other Chinese leaders whose
names and thoughts are included in the party Constitution.

“Strategic Challenges to Civil Society Sustainability” 

Discussion on
“Strategic Challenges to Civil Society Sustainability”
25 October 2017, PRIA Head Office between 4.00 and 5.30 p.m.
The dominant model for any developing country NGO and other civil society groups is one of depending on grants from international donors/national governments. This model has been fast-changing for the past several years, affecting the sustainability of many civil society organisations and networks. What are the challenges to civil society sustainability, in the face of reduced (or often removed) external funding? There are many aspects of sustainability, not least of which is financial sustainability. Civil society sustainability is linked to the nature of civil society — what it stands for and what other constraints (social and political) the sector faces.
In continuation of the series of roundtables on challenges faced by the civil society sector organised by PRIA this year, we invite you to participate in a discussion on “Strategic Challenges to Civil Society Sustainability” on 25 October 2017 at PRIA Head Office between 4.00 and 5.30 p.m.
Dr Brian Pratt, Founding Director of INTRAC (www.intrac.org) and Editor-in-Chief of the international journal “Development in Practice” will present the results from a recent study INTRAC undertook on organisational sustainability, financial sustainability and the reduced space for civil society in different countries.
We look forward to your participation. please send your confirmation to pooja.saxena@pria.org

Jordan’s Queen Rania Urges More Global Support for Rohingyas

Cox’s Bazar – Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan today (23/10) urged the world to pay more attention to the crisis unfolding on the southern border of Bangladesh as she visited IOM’s Kutupalong Extension Primary Health Care Centre in one of the newly formed makeshift settlements for the Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar.
Shocked by the limitations of basic services to health care and other lifesaving support, Queen Rania said, “It is unforgivable that this crisis is unfolding, largely ignored by the international community.  The world response has been muted. I urge the UN and the international community to do more to ensure we can bring peace to this conflict.”
She also talked about the tangible hardship and suffering of the Rohingya refugees, 60 per cent of whom are children who need targeted support.
At the clinic, she observed the breadth of services available to the newly arrived Rohingya refugees, the majority of whom are women and children. The clinic has carried out 3,675 primary healthcare consultations since the influx started on the 25th August, and has the capacity to provide 8,000 consultations per month to the Rohingya.
Dr Quamrul Hassan, who runs the clinic, says that he is particularly worried by acute watery diarrhoea, acute respiratory tract infections symptoms and emergency obstetric complications, amongst the population who come seeking support.
IOM is working closely with the World Health Organisation to coordinate health response planning. A revised emergency health sector response plan for the next 6 months has been created to address short- and medium-term plans for addressing the acute health needs of the population.
IOM medical teams have provided a total of 47,764 clinical consultations since August 25. A total of 3,285 women received pregnancy-related care, including 2,438 antenatal care, 504 postnatal care, and 343 deliveries, in September.
A cholera vaccination campaign led by the Ministry of Health and WHO, supported by agencies including IOM, reached a total of 700,487 people by 19 October.
IOM provides health care services to over 1,300 people each day. Delivery facilities and a patient stabilization unit have been activated in IOM Primary Health Care Clinic in Kutupalong, Ukhiya, where 24-hour services have been launched.
IOM has also scaled up services in its existing 12 health facilities, including the provision of 24-hour services in Leda Health Clinic, Shamlapur and in 2 Upazilia Health Complexes, where IOM provides support to government health facilities.
Some 800,000 Rohingyas are now living in the settlements, 603,000 of whom have arrived since August 25th. Of these about 51 per cent are women and girls, of whom 15 per cent are lactating or pregnant, 58 per cent are children between new born to 17 years old, with many child led households.
The numbers spiked again in the past week when over 18,000 Rohingya crossed into Bangladesh, according to the IOM-hosted Inter Sector Coordination Group.
Almost all new arrivals require health assistance.
The great majority (around 72 per cent) of new arrivals are living in a large makeshift settlement in a congested area in Ukhia unofficially called the Kutupalong mega camp, which has become a surging sea of humanity.
Most families have nothing. The lucky ones managed to bring some clothes, pots and pans, the odd water carrier. IOM and other partner agencies are racing against the incoming tide of new settlers to try to ensure organization within the camp, and to distribute basic items including shelter kits and kitchen sets to allow families to settle in and look after their basic needs.
Only 27 per cent of the sites are accessible by a vehicle of any kind, making aid delivery difficult and access to existing health services hard.
Many have been subjected to extreme violence and sexual assault. Children have witnessed their parents’ deaths and are now left to fend for their even younger siblings. Outreach must be strengthened to identify and meet their special needs.
Lifesaving services delivered by IOM and its partner agencies include clean water and sanitation, shelter, food security, healthcare, education and psychosocial support for the most vulnerable individuals, many of whom are suffering from acute mental trauma or are survivors of sexual violence.
Meanwhile, a pledging conference for the crisis organized by IOM, UNOCHA and UNHCR, and co-hosted by the European Union and Kuwait, takes place in Geneva today (23/10). The conference will provide governments from around the world an opportunity to show their solidarity and share the burden and responsibility for the Rohingya refugees.
Earlier this month, the UN launched a Joint Response Plan, in order to sustain and enhance the large humanitarian effort already under way. The plan requires USD 434 million to meet the life-saving needs of all Rohingya refugees and their host communities – together an estimated 1.2 million people – for the difficult months to come.

DONORS PLEDGE OVER $344 MILLION IN RESPONSE TO ROHINGYA REFUGEE CRISIS


(Geneva, 23 October 2017): The international donor community today announced pledges for more than US$344 million to urgently ramp up the delivery of critical humanitarian assistance to Rohingya refugees and host communities in Bangladesh.
Funding was also pledged for the humanitarian response inside Myanmar where violence, insecurity and growing humanitarian needs have sent nearly 600,000 Rohingya from the northern Rakhine state into Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh since 25 August. This ongoing exodus is the fastest growing refugee crisis in the world.
“Humanitarian donors have today expressed their solidarity and compassion with the families and communities in need. These very generous pledges must now quickly translate into life-saving relief for the vulnerable refugees and support to host communities who have been stretched to the limit,” said Mark Lowcock, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.
35 pledges were made at the conference in Geneva which was co-organised by the UN Migration Agency (IOM), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and with Kuwait and the European Union as co-hosts.
“More than 800,000 stateless Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh aspire to a life that meets their immediate needs for food, medicine, water, and shelter. But beyond that, a life that has hope for the future where their identity is recognised, they are free from discrimination, and are able to return safely to their homes in Myanmar. As we come together in solidarity, I want to thank Bangladesh and its refugee hosting communities and the donors for supporting them,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi.
The Government of Bangladesh, local charities and volunteers, the UN and NGOs have been working around the clock in recent weeks to help the stateless refugees who depend on humanitarian assistance for food, water, shelter, health services and other essentials.
The UN and partners have launched a response plan for six months (Sept 2017 – Feb 2018) to meet the needs of a combined 1.2 million newly arrived and existing refugees and their Bangladeshi hosts. The appeal requests $434 million, and pledges made today will increase the funding level of this plan. A preliminary list of pledges announced today is available here
“Today’s pledges from the international community will help rebuild Rohingya refugees’ lives. Without these vital funds, humanitarians would not be able to continue providing protection and life-saving aid to one of the most vulnerable groups in the world. While we are thankful, I hope that the end of this conference does not mean the end of new funding commitments. We have not reached our target and each percentage point we are under means thousands without food, healthcare and shelter,” said William Lacy Swing, UN Migration Director General.
Conference participants stressed that the international community must help bring a peaceful solution to the plight of the Rohingya and ensure conditions that will allow for their eventual voluntary return in safety and dignity. The origins and the solutions to the crisis lie in Myanmar.
“The mere convening of this humanitarian conference is a message of hope sent to the Rohingya refugees and their host communities in the friendly Republic of Bangladesh, reaffirming that the international community stands by them and supports them in their humanitarian plight. The State of Kuwait is always willing to take any initiative that is likely to alleviate humanitarian crises that strike affected populations, and to support humanitarian programmes in line with all efforts exerted at an international scale to assist the Rohingya refugees,” said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Kuwait, His Excellency Mr. Khaled Al-Jarallah.
“Today, we stand united for the right cause,” said EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, Christos Stylianides. “The cause of stateless people who have suffered for too long: the Rohingya. The Rohingya deserve nothing less than every other human being in the world. They deserve a future. We have a moral duty to give these people hope.”

UN: Don’t just blame the Teacher when system at fault



Don’t just blame the teacher when the system is at fault, says UNESCO

Paris 24 October – UNESCO’s 2017/8 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report highlights the responsibility of governments to provide universal quality education and stresses that accountability is indispensable in achieving this goal. The Report, released today, warns that disproportionate blame on any one actor for systemic educational problems can have serious negative side effects, widening inequality and damaging learning.

“Education is a shared responsibility between us all– governments, schools, teachers, parents and private actors,” said UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova.“Accountability for these responsibilities defines the way teachers teach, students learn, and governments   act. It must be designed with care and with the principles of equity, inclusion and quality in mind.”

Accountability in education: meeting our commitments, the second in the GEM Report series, which monitors progress towards the internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goal for Education (SDG4), looks at the different ways people and institutions can be held accountable for reaching that goal, including regulations, testing, monitoring, audits, media scrutiny, and grass root movements.

The Report demonstrates that blaming teachers for poor test scores and absenteeism is often both unjust and unconstructive. It show, for example, that nearly half of teacher absenteeism in Indonesia in 2013/14 was due to excused time for study for which replacements should have been provided. Similarly, in Senegal, only 12 of the 80 missed school days in 2014 were due to teachers avoiding their responsibilities. People cannot be held accountable for outcomes that depend on the actions of others.

“Using student test scores to sanction teachers and schools makes it more likely they will adjust their behaviour to protect themselves, which may mean leaving the weakest learners behind,” explains Manos Antoninis, Director of the GEM Report.“Accountability must start with governments. If a government is too quick to apportion blame to others, it is deflecting attention away from its own responsibility for creating a strong, supportive education system.”

Whereas transparency would help identify problems, only one in six governments publish annual education monitoring reports. Strong independent bodies such as ombudsmen, parliaments and audit institutions are also needed to hold governments to account for education.

Lack of accountability opens the door to corruption. In the European Union in 2009-2014, 38% of education and training tenders only had one bidder, compared to 16% of tenders in the construction sector, indicating that the risk of corruption is higher in education than in the building industry.

Setting and enforcing regulations ranging from contract tendering to teacher qualifications are also crucial, argues the Report. Fewer than half of low and middle-income countries had standards for early childhood education and just a handful had mechanisms to monitor compliance. There are no regulations on class sizes in almost half of countries.

Government regulations are often too slow to keep up with the fast growth of private schools and universities. In Lagos, Nigeria, only 26% of private schools in 2010/2011 had been approved by the State Ministry of Education. In countries with weak accreditation processes, thousands of students graduate with unrecognized degrees. In Kenya and Uganda, private schools were operating without qualified teachers and with inadequate infrastructure before regulations were put in place and courts shut them down.

There needs to be better regulation of private tutoring, due to be worth over 200 billion by 2020 as a global industry, and a practice that is widening the education gap between rich and poor. In India, in 2007/08 about 40% of urban secondary students received private tutoring, compared with about 26% of rural students. Better-educated households in urban areas with children attending private schools were more likely to pay for private tutoring (Azam, 2016).

Accreditation of private higher education institutions also needs to be better regulated. India has about 1 million rural medical practitioners who are not graduates of accredited schools. Government and court records showed that, between 2010 and 2015, at least 69 of the 398 medical colleges and teaching hospitals had been accused of rigging entrance examinations or accepting bribes to admit students. The regulator recommended closing 24 of the colleges (Clark, 2015).

Where formal mechanisms fail, citizens play a vital role in holding governments to account for meeting their right to education. In Colombia, a citizens’ campaign successfully challenged the government in court leading to the establishment of free education. In the United States, parents and media successfully lobbied for the removal of climate change denial from textbooks, and students in South Africa were able to halt university tuition hikes.

The Report emphasizes the importance of accountability in addressing  gaps and inequalities. Globally, less than 20% of countries legally guarantee 12 years of free and compulsory education. There are 264 million children and youth out of school and 100 million young people currently unable to read. In India, a quarter are not completing lower secondary education, there are 266 million adults and 33 million young people unable to read (UNESCO Institute for Statistics).

The Report cites an accountability vacuum with donors not delivering on their aid commitments for those in need. The share of aid to education has fallen for six years in a row. At the same time, donors increasingly demand that in exchange for aid, countries achieve results that sometimes divert energy away from systemic improvements in the education system.

No approach to accountability will be successful without a strong enabling environment that provides actors with adequate resources, capacity, motivation and information to fulfil their responsibilities. The Report calls on governments to:

  1. Design accountability for schools and teachers that is supportive and avoid punitive mechanisms, especially those based on narrow performance measures.
  2. Allow for democratic participation, respect media freedom to scrutinize education and set up independent institutions to handle complaints.
  3. Develop credible and efficient regulations with associated sanctions for all education providers, public and private, that ensure non-discrimination and the quality of education.
  4. Make the right to education justiciable, which is not the case in 45% of countries.

BJP Sinking Ship

Imperial ordinance of Rani Vasundhara Raje: Hangs The nation in shame? But she still thinks she is Queen:
Photo published for Editors Guild slams Rajasthan ordinance
Raje ordinance is an illegal act against Constitution of India. Raises Qs ,Gov, President, PM, ThyWisdom, Is BJP sinking ship now?, By self inflicted acts.
 Raje govt refers black bill to House panel:  Facing flak from various quarters, the Rajasthan government today referred a controversial bill, which seeks to protect public servants and judges from prosecution without its prior sanction, to a select committee of the assembly.
Amid uproar from the opposition Congress, the Criminal Laws (Rajasthan Amendment) Bill was tabled in the assembly by Home Minister Gulabchand Kataria yesterday to replace an ordinance promulgated on September 7.
At the beginning of the Question Hour today, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore informed the House that Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje had held a meeting of ministers last night to discuss the bill and that the home minister would apprise the House of the development.
The home minister said that prior approval of the President was sought before introducing the ordinance in September.  Independent MLA Manik Chand Surana had yesterday raised the point that no approval of the President was attached with the bill.
Regarding GST
Several opposition parties today announced that they would observe November 8, the first anniversary of demonetisation, as ‘Black Day’ and would hold protests across the country to highlight its “ill-effects” on the economy.
Announcing the decision at a joint press conference of the opposition coordination committee, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said, “This particular announcement made on November 8 is the scam of the century, which is why we are observing this as Black Day.”
He described the note-ban decision as the NDA government’s “most ill-conceived and hasty decision”.
“One can say this is a scam of the century. Eighteen political parties have decided to hold protests in every state in their capacity against the government’s decision which caused hardship to the people. Never ever in the world people have died because of a government policy,” Azad said.
 Why BJP Sinking Ship ?
When Modi government is in midst of  global recession and making imperative efforts to stay afloat the dashing economy, the poor managed demonetization and GST made severe adverse impact in corporate world, thus nosedives the GDP.
Modi government was struggling in Ministryskill to develop more employments but the concerned ministry fail to strike gold in this category of halo ministry with plethora of promises.Unemployment cross 8 millions touching 10 millions, with evey additional year pass half a million unemployed added.Corporate manufacturing structure in its slots of cost saving with automation and social security at its ebb the corporate investing in Alternate intelligence startup around the world brings Skillmin to harp on haze.
Synergy coordination nowhere for skill to develop the Skillministry after the change  explored the new skipper, inexperience of skills but an eloquent speaker resorts to  Greek and Latin, instead of skill thus employment government priority is in shelved in limbo or in shambles.
To get over the business of unemployment when media and other statistical organisation gave figure surging.  Social media and opposition cried wolves then uprising in government with news diction of entrepreneur came to light. The  Startup, ssi unit, new enterprise an entrepreneur in offing ,Government plundered the slogans and gave figure of 20K new Ssi units which are in actual the decimals of decimals and those winding-up entrepreneur in geometrical progression.
The government in its anxiety of unemployment hold the service sector on rise and paying dividend to let national economy move, this digital garb was again thrashed its lifeline by directing orders to curtailed cash flow switch to digital cash flow in the poor country where people live below 50$ per month capita, the small units exodus was imminent and  millions of units exodus erupted, market reached levels of stagflation, cash crunch in policies and action poor or nil ,put economy in lame duck. Those understand business went in peel of laughter,the laughing stock of government policy against people at large. Brand saffron party with difference trolled with ideas but the failed to implement on the ground said mindful men on streets. Drum beaters made lot of reasons  to give credibility to the policies. The saffron fertile thinkers had next go,directed to put government slogan of startup bigger goal but with no concrete proposal the startup deep down the in deathwell.
Next best ideas, as per the constitution an excellent one, Last man at last mile to get the benefit, the Aanthuday ! could not found any taker, but infrastructure did well thus a reprieve to Last man. But last man asked how Long to wait?. Reply, Wait.
Ks of VIP need no punishment, government  servants are the best among the best,  with their self growth with systematic secure veil of touch me not. They know more than Public, busy schedule, gather personal gain, know all the business of business of governance.For them, who cares about last man.With demigod status  to elite government servants not satisfied, formed with the elected biggy Nexus to play safe. New strategy of public servants, the design of these system followers babu’s look for Godhood status. The nation’s Constitution feel, its let down, Its people feel let down.
Let’s us all Judiciary, Media, CAG, EC ,masses go for deep slumber for another year 2019, when people has chance to vote the bipolar forces in India.
Look for another common man to give wisdom to this land of lusty greedy natives on  sale-spree for personal gain.
Moot questions arises, Is the system so embedded or submerged or knee deep in corruptible practice in each action. Most of common man aspire, BJP party and it’s Leader needs to exhibit it’s Lotus like virtuous to keep Modi brand shine not lose its sheen or not dilute or vitiate.
Be reliable dependable to stay long to create cherish history inspiring for our future generation and not shameful as that of history of thousand years under foreign yoke.

I urge Vasundara to take back her ill fated Gag Bill. It is a sterile exercise&receive a rap from SC when the apex court strikes it down.
It is reliably learnt that Reliance Industries head Mukesh Ambani now owns more than 51% of the NDTV shares through his associated companies and trading funds.
He owns about that much in India Today TV and all of CNN News 18.
Besides all of the ETV bouquet. THE TOI’s Jain family owns Times Now, ET Now and Mirror
Now. Subhaschandra owns Zee and WION.
Then add all the Indian language channels owned by these groups.
We are now assured of a free and vigilant media and our democracy will flourish.
