The New Kingmakers Who Could Make or Break Modis Government

After his first two national election victories, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India easily set his own terms, with his Bharatiya Janata Party winning clear majorities. The result was different in this vote. It was still a victory, but one that left him dependent on a host of coalition partners — particularly on politicians from two regional parties who could make or break Mr. Modi’s ability to form a government. Of the more than a dozen parties that make up the B.J.P.’s coalition, known as the National Democratic Alliance, most won just one or two seats, leaving the party in a difficult predicament. On Wednesday, the B.J.P. said it had reached an agreement to form a coalition government that includes those two regional parties — the Telugu Desam Party and Janata Dal-United. They will be the biggest junior partners, but they are also avowedly secular and removed from Mr. Modi’s Hindu-nationalist ideology. Cameras on Wednesday followed every word, meeting and movement of the leaders of the two parties, N. Chandrababu Naidu of the Telugu Desam Party, and Nitish Kumar of Janata Dal-United. Their combined 28 seats in Parliament will give the prime minister the votes he needs to stay in power and push through his agenda. Here is what to know about the men who unexpectedly found themselves as kingmakers, and about the parties they lead. Their parties don’t share Mr. Modi’s Hindu-first agenda. Though some of the members of the B.J.P.’s coalition this year share Mr. Modi’s hard-line vision, both the Telugu Desam Party and Janata Dal-United are moderate, secular parties that have a diverse support base. Speculation in India was focusing on what terms the men were demanding for their support, which are unlikely to be rooted in ideology. Both Mr. Naidu and Mr. Kumar are known to be pragmatic, deal-making politicians whose priorities will be practical concessions for their state, or perhaps cabinet positions. They have a history of shifting alliances. Mr. Kumar has earned a reputation in India for his willingness to switch allegiances over the past decade. He has gone between aligning himself with the B.J.P.-led coalition to supporting its rivals no fewer than five times. Most recently, in January, he returned to Mr. Modi’s alliance just 18 months after he’d left it and with just months to go until the election. He has said his switching of political loyalties was in the interest of his state, Bihar. Mr. Naidu has also at times broken with Mr. Modi, cutting ties with the B.J.P. in 2018 and joining forces with its chief rival, Indian National Congress, ahead of the 2019 elections. He has said that his party has aligned with the B.J.P. out of “political compulsion.” They are longtime survivors of a tough political scene. Mr. Naidu and Mr. Kumar have both been in politics for decades, and have been mentioned as potential candidates for prime minister. Mr. Naidu of the T.D.P., based in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, is a technocrat who has aggressively pushed for investment from information technology companies in his region. His policies helped bring high-paying jobs for I.T. professionals and transformed the city of Hyderabad. Mr. Kumar is a nine-time chief minister of Bihar, India’s poorest state, who comes from a homegrown socialist background. He has pushed for more funds for low-caste Hindus, and his alliance with the B.J.P. broadened support for the party in his state. Source link via The Novum Times

RJD, Congress In Huddle Amid Talks Of Nitish Kumar's Switch

Nitish Kumar will likely take oath as Bihar Chief Minister again tomorrow, a record ninth time, supported by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) - mirroring a familiar script from the 2020 elections. The political churn has triggered a flurry of activities, with large-scale transfers of officers adding to the suspense. Reports of an imminent change in government are rife, casting a shadow over the current 'Mahagathbandhan' ruling coalition.

The BJP has convened a meeting of its MPs and MLAs today, ostensibly to strategise for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. State unit chief Samrat Choudhary downplayed speculations of a renewed alliance with Nitish Kumar, but BJP leaders dropped significant hints about behind-the-scenes discussions.

According to sources, Nitish Kumar has convened a session of the legislative party tomorrow. Sources have said that extensive relocations of district magistrates are underway in Bihar, coinciding with rumors of an imminent shift in the government.

Amid this political upheaval, Congress, Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United)'s partner in the opposition INDIA bloc, has also called a meeting in Purnea, while denying any connection to the evolving political scenario. The Congress plans to discuss preparations for Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,' set to enter Bihar on Monday, with public meetings scheduled in Kishanganj, Purnea, and Katihar.

While the immediate focus appears to be on the Lok Sabha elections, sources indicate that the Bihar Assembly won't be dissolved just yet. Both the BJP and JD(U) are engaging with their respective MPs and MLAs to solidify their strategies, setting the stage for a comprehensive realignment in Bihar's political landscape.

However, the return of Nitish Kumar to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is not without its complexities. Sources have told NDTV that the intricate game plan includes the nomination of an Assembly Speaker and a cabinet reshuffle.

Former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and his Hindustan Awam Morcha are also players in this political chessboard, courted by the BJP to secure a strategic alliance.

Nitish Kumar's political journey, once synonymous with stability and development, has become a tale of flip-flops and realignments. From the acclaimed 'Sushashan Babu' to the enigmatic "Paltu Kumar," his trajectory reflects the evolving dynamics of Bihar's politics.

Smart Electric Meter Market Competitive Analysis and Regional Statistics to 2030

The Smart Electric Meter Market size is anticipated to reach $36 billion by 2030. Increasing energy prices in developed and developing economies are expected to spur significant growth in the market over the next few years. Customers in the commercial and residential sectors are preferring smart metering solutions to reduce their energy costs.

These meters enable consumers to manage their energy use, save money, and reduce emissions through features such as remote control, power peak and consumption analysis, anti-tampering mechanisms, time-variable tariffs, and fault alerts. In recognition of the need to modernize traditional grid infrastructure, governments and power companies are transitioning to smart grid settings that are efficient, flexible, and support intelligent energy-distribution networks.

Using smart meters, these advanced grids can collect information from the end users' load devices and measure energy consumption.

Request for a sample copy of this research report @ https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/1503

Booming demand for smart EV charging stations

Fast-growing consumer interest in electric vehicles (EV) is reckoned to accelerate smart meters roll-out in the years to come. A study commissioned by Smart Energy GB says that over 8 million people are likely to consider buying or leasing an EV in the next five years across Britain.

As EV purchase gains grip, it is significantly likely to offer smart electric meter manufacturers and businesses the opportunity to support the installation of smart EV charging stations. These meters can make charging EVs cheaper and greener by giving consumers greater control over their energy use.

New smart cities to boost smart meter deployment

As cities get smarter, smart technologies are being injected more directly into the lives of residents. Smart electric meter is one such technology that is helping utilities and cities to deliver power safely, securely and reliably. Offering instant information about power consumption via a smartphone app, these meters are expected to be installed on scale across smart city projects over the next decade.

Speculating the residential sector as a promising business avenue, smart electric meter companies are expected to collaborate with smart city developers to extend their product reach. An example of the same was when Itron, a tech company specializing in smart meters, networks and services, recently announced its collaborations with Spain’s City of Fuengirola to transform it into a smart city.

Browse report summary @ https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/smart-electric-meter-market

Countries like the UK have set ambitious goals to install smart meters in all homes and small businesses in the country to reduce energy wastage. Data released by the BEIS indicate that a total of 3.8 million smart meters were installed in 2021, 19% more compared to 2020.

A similar trend was witnessed across India where, according to reports, around 3.73 million smart electricity meters were installed in the country. Government-backed initiatives like the Smart Meter National Programme are set to replace 250 million conventional meters with smart meters in India. While in 2022, EDF India reached the milestone of installing 500,000 smart prepaid meters in the state of Bihar.

Global Smart Electric Meter Market growth will be positively affected by the notable presence of reputed organizations, such as General Electric, Apator, Honeywell Elster, Kamstrup, Itron, Larsen & Toubro Limited, Schneider Electric, Aclara Technologies, Circutor SA, Osaki Electric

PoliticsStatistical Afternotes: TMC May Have Won Bengal, but BJP Did Not Do BadlyAlthough TMC has been able to script a resounding victory in Bengal, looking at the finer statistical details shows how BJP's vote share has jumped from an indifferent 10% to 38% in the space of a single election.2 hours ago | Prashant Iyengar The West Bengal assembly election has been cynosure of all eyes with BJP raising the stakes. Illustration: The Wire/PTI.

As the din and drama of election season begin to wind down, there are a few points to ponder that statistics from the West Bengal elections bring into view. Statistics, of course, vastly deplete the sensory richness of an event like an election.

Catcalls like ‘Didi O Didi’ and bellows of ‘Jai Shri Ram’, backstabbings and paybacks, the true stuff of elections are statistically ‘mute’ phenomena. Fortunately, we have, by now, several extremely penetrating accounts that have interpreted the West Bengal electoral outcome for us in terms of its discourse and dramaturgy. To this corpus of opinion pieces, which tells us the real story, let me add a few statistically-founded afternotes.

The BJP did not do ‘badly’…

We begin with the obvious. How we assess the BJP’s performance in these elections depends, of course, largely on where we set our expectations. Compared to the men, the muscle, the money and, allegedly, even the Election Commission that the BJP poured into their Bengal campaign, and especially measured against their campaign boasts, 77 seats must seem like a poor return indeed.

Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah during an election campaign rally in support of party candidates for the West Bengal Assembly Polls at Buniadpur in South Dinajpur district, Thursday, April 22, 2021.

However, this is still a party that grew from three seats and an indifferent 10% vote share to a staggering 77 seats and 38% vote share in the space of a single election. These advances have been fairly well-reckoned with in the commentary that has followed the election.

Also read: West Bengal: Of 19 Turncoat MLAs Contesting From BJP, 13 Lost

But let me add another telling statistic to this picture – among the 291 constituencies that the BJP contested, it won 77, and came second in 200, and finished third in 14 constituencies. That is, it was never ranked lower than third in a single constituency that it contested. This ought to convey a sense, not fully captured in this round’s tally of seats, of the inflationary presence that the party has acquired across the state within a short span of time.

But it could easily have done a lot worse

Notwithstanding the party’s impressive turnout, the BJP will feel fortunate to have ended with the tally that it did. While Mamata Banerjee’s narrow loss at Nandigram has captivated media attention, there were at least 20 constituencies where the BJP won against TMC candidates with extremely slender margins between 500-5000 votes, and where a single third party like the Left Front, Congress or Independent also polled a substantial number of votes.

Illustratively in Balarampur, the incumbent TMC candidate lost to the BJP by a margin of 423 votes. The Congress candidate in this constituency polled over 8,000 votes – votes that, the TMC might legitimately feel, cost them the seat. Ironically, this means that the BJP owes 20 of its seats to the presence of its most bitter opponents, the Left and the Congress.

To be sure, the TMC also had its share of close shaves – 12 seats where their margin of victory was less than 5,000 votes, and where a third-placed party/candidate polled enough votes to play spoiler.

For instance, in Tamluk where the TMC candidate beat the BJP candidate by a margin of 793 votes, and the CPI(M) candidate polled over 14,000 votes. Could the BJP have won here, had the CPI(M) not contested?

It depends on whether you think it likely that more than half of these 14,000 CPI(M) voters might have voted BJP. This seems improbable. Speculations of this kind are only worth so much, but with the polarising campaigns that the BJP runs, votes cast for any other party in the fray are quite likely to be affirmative votes against the BJP. Consequently, in these seats that the BJP lost narrowly, one gets the impression that the absence of a third party would only have extended the magnitude of their loss.

Also read: ‘Didi, Oh Didi’: How BJP Crafted Its Own Humiliation in Bengal

Does this mean that the CPI(M) and the Congress ought to have either vacated the field or swallowed their pride and stitched together an alliance with the TMC, their most bitter rival in the state? There is a vital difference between merely mathematical possibilities, such as the kinds I have outlined above, and the intricate real world of political negotiation that must be borne in mind before making any such assessments.

For a string of state elections now, though, Congress’s electoral strategy appears to have been organised around the question of how to ally themselves so that they cause the least possible damage to regionally competitive parties. This is prudent, and answers the call of the times, but cannot but enfeeble the party in the long run and nationwide. Curiously, one senses the exasperation of their position most acutely in Prashant Kishor’s barbs directed at Rahul Gandhi.

A polity that de-fragments itself

One striking feature of this election was the consistency with which this remained a two-way fight between the BJP and the TMC despite the presence of other influential parties (Congress/Left), independents and NOTA (the most underrated political force in this country).

As is well known, an important weapon in the NDA/BJP election arsenal has been the splintering of the opposition vote. The innovations of ‘Mahagathbandhans’ in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are attempts to counter this, although they have only succeeded to a degree.

In last year’s Bihar elections, for example, Independents, ‘Other Parties’ and NOTA absorbed a staggering 20% of all votes cast. The Mahagathbandhan there lost over 25 seats in close contests (

Who Is George Orwell?

Early Life

On the 25th of June 1903 in India, Eric Arthur Blair, later known as by his pen-name George Orwell, was born to British serving parents. Although he was born in Motihari Bihar India, his mother took him and one of his sisters back to England when he was one, where they later settled in Oxfordshire. He was educated in a Roman Catholic convent due to his mother not being able to afford public school, and later gained scholarship for St. Cyprian School to which he wrote about it in distaste in his essay Such, Such Were the Joys. Despite his family once being apart of aristrocratic England, their wealth started to decline during that time, and his classmates made sure he was aware of that. In later years, he attended the institute of Eton where his passion for Socialism bloomed.

Career

After graduating in 1921, Blair decided that it would be best for him to serve Colonial England in Burma rather than attend a university, and to him this was seen as an act of rebellion against aristocracy. His job as a policeman was mentally taxing as he did it out of necessity and not out of desire, he was ashamed of his colonial acts and thought very lowly of his comrades, but little did he know at that time that this experience was the turning point where he establishes himself as a writer. He returned to England in 1927 where he, despite his family's shock and horror, dressed in a shabby manner and accompanied the lowerclass. Many speculate he did this in order to sooth the guilt he had weighing oh him from his time in Burma, nonetheless he did this occasionally for four years. Later on, he found himself in Paris with his aunt where he would work odd jobs in restaurants and hotels, his aunt providing him with financial support when needed. Contrary to popular belief, Blair was nothing short of middle class, as he would go back to his family's home in England where he would retreat from such a lifestyle, and when he felt recharged he would go back to the working class as if he was never in his parents' abode. This experience was the one major factor to inspire him to write, although they were not exactly seen as good works of literature, many would argue that it is borderline laughable, yet he still continued to write.

Writing and Eventual Death

From 1928 to 1932 Blair tried his best to improve his writing, this resulted in his first work Down and Out in Paris and London, which talks about his time spent with the working class. while it wasn't his best work, it was still published to the masses. This book however was viewed as scandalous, so much so that he had to use the pen-name that we all know him as, George Orwell. other than that it was quite well received by the public, so much so that his publisher asked if he had anymore to offer, to which prompted Blair to write more books. many of his writings are tales detailing his experience in life, books such as Burmese Days that talks about his time spent in Burma and how critical he is of the colonial system, or a year after that when The Clergyman's Daughter, a book that details his time working for a private school was published, and this was followed by Keep the Aspidistra Flying. At this point we see a pattern forming among Blair's work, that theme being poverty and the oppression of the working class. furthermore, it is when Victor Gollancz approached him to write a book about poverty in England. Gollancz commisioned Blair to write The Road to Wigan Pier, and to that Blair had to spend a significant amount of time in the north of England in cities such a Manchester where many of the working class resided, and this book is where Blair announced his socialism. However, all of his writing would come to a halt following the events of the Spanish Civil War, as Blair joined the fight with the republicans where he would face a nearly fatal injury in Teruel by a fascist, and although he suffered a lot of blood loss he still managed to survive. He managed to leave Spain after the incident and move back to England with his wife Elieen, though that left him with new ideologies. As committed Blair was in socialism, he left Spain with a deep hatred for communism, this hatred would inspire him to make two of his most influentual works that would change not only his life, but also political ideologies as a whole. Blair wanted to participate in WW2 as a solider for the British Empire however his terminal illness of tuberculosis had rendered him to work in the BBC as a propaganda writer. The time spent there was seen as legendary as he tells the tales of his work. Later on he published his book Animal Farm, which was a satire against the Soviet Union and Stalinism. The book could not be published due to fear of embarrassment on England's part, since they were allies with the Soviet Union at that time. The offer was sent to the Americans when they found the work interesting enough to publish it, only on the occasion that they would publish it when WW2 was over, Blair agreed nonetheless, and in 1945 it was published and it was heavily praised by the people, so much so it sold a quarter million copies in its first year since publishing. As time passed and his illness getting to him more and more and with him and his son moving to a remote area where they had little to no social life, Blair decided to devote his final years to write his final and arguably most influential book yet, 1984. after he had finished his first draft he fell extremely ill and was omitted to University College Hospital where he would sickly type out his second draft of the novel. By 1949 Blair was living by a thread as 1984, a dark and grim satire where England lived in an exteme USSR like society, was published. The beauty of the novel that many saw was how it can be interpreted in many ways depending on who read it, and thats what ultimately lead to its extreme popularity. unfortunatey no one knew the true meaning of what Blair intended for the novel, as he died on January 21st 1950 due to his battle with tuberculosis, and although he was atheist, he asked to be buried in a traditional Christian way.

★ Barbaad ho rahe hai hum log”: Single-screen exhibitors DISAPPOINTED & ANGRY with Disney+ Hotstar’s 7 films announcement : Bollywood News!

June 30, 2020

Since more than a month, there have been speculations that Disney+ Hotstar, one of the biggest streaming platforms, has acquired more than a half-a-dozen films for a direct OTT release due to the Coronavirus-induced lockdown. Today, on June 29, the suspense was finally unveiled and it came to light that as many as 7 films will skip theatrical release and arrive straightaway on the internet. These films are Akshay Kumar’s horror comedy Laxmmi Bomb, Ajay Devgn’s war saga Bhuj – The Pride Of India, Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film Dil Bechara, Mahesh Bhatt’s directorial comeback Sadak 2, Abhishek Bachchan’s stock market drama The Big Bull, Kunal Kemmu’s comic caper Lootcase and Vidyut Jammwal’s action love story Khuda Hafiz.

As expected, the exhibitors are disappointed with this historic announcement. Already, they have been suffering since cinemas are shut since more than 3 months. And with the lockdown getting extended in most major states to July-end, they are all set to suffer more. In such a scenario, to see 7 films going straight to OTT, including few star-studded ventures which could have drawn audiences to cinemas in big numbers, have not just saddened them but also infuriated the exhibitors. While the representatives of multiplex chains were unavailable, the single-screen exhibitors have openly made their displeasure clear.

Akshaye Rathi, film exhibitor and distributor, says, “We all saw it coming since 1 ½ months. Hence, we were all prepared to see this happening. As an exhibitor, I’d say that it’s a bit disappointing because some of these films could have actually played a role in resurrecting the very medium that made them such big stars.” A very angry Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Bihar, angrily tells, “I think Bollywood has jumped the gun and have pressed the panic button too early. This will have a very bad long-term impact on the Hindi film industry.” Raj Bansal, the owner of Entertainment Paradise theatre in Jaipur states, “I am not very happy with this announcement. They should have waited for some more time, at least two more months. I understand that they have invested heavily in these films and they must have had their reasons. But in this time of crisis, we should support each other.”

Vishek Chauhan makes it clear that “Bollywood is in danger, theatres are not” and also adds, “People feel that right now that the theatres will suffer if Hindi films will arrive on TV or OTT. Hollywood started this trend of releasing films on streaming platforms in the lockdown and the first film to do so was Trolls World Tour. But that film could be accessed through PVOD (Premium Video-On-Demand) and not SVOD (Subscription Video-On-Demand). So you have to pay $19.99 to buy the film and then you get to watch it. In our case, the accessibility is so easy for these new films that you’re films would be counted in the same breath as Aarya and Chaman Bahaar. Look at Gulabo Sitabo – it came and it went in no time. My point is that, what makes actors stars is when people take the trouble of heading to a cinema hall, standing in a queue and then watching them perform on the big screen. So if Akshay Kumar’s film will be accessible online without any effort at home, Akshay Kumar is then no longer that star! He and Ajay Devgn just killed their own stardom. Disney has kept its Hollywood film, Black Widow, ready. Even James Bond’s No Time To Die is ready for release. But these films are being held for theatrical release. Toh fir yeh log kyun apni film online release kar rahe hai?”

The thoughts of Sandeep Jain, an exhibitor from Indore and Bhopal, are in sync. He states, “What they are doing is wrong. They are trying to destroy the medium that made them such big stars. Has there been any star from OTT? Alia Bhatt became a craze because she debuted in Student Of The Year, which released in cinemas. Same goes for other actors.”

Vishek Chauhan further adds, “Suriya is not giving his away film to the internet. Vijay hasn’t given his finished film Master to an OTT platform. Same goes for Dhanush, Chiyaan Vikram and Mahesh Babu. They have all declined the offer from OTT because they know where their stardom comes from. And look at our Bollywood actors. They are killing their stardom which they painstakingly cultivated over the years. They are forgetting that stardom jaane mein time nahi lagta hai.”

Other exhibitors too agree that they’ll now give preference to films of other languages. Akshaye Rathi opines, “Theatres have survived a hundred years and will survive long enough. The only thing that might change is the content that reaches the theatrical medium. If you see, in every other industry, from Southern to Hollywood, all the tent pole films have been held back for theatrical. So if these Hindi films don’t release, there will be enough Hollywood and Southern films in dubbed Hindi versions and also regional films that will take that space and keep bringing people to cinemas so that they keep getting their share of entertainment.” Manoj Desai, executive director of G7 multiplex in Mumbai, popularly known as Gaiety-Galaxy cinema complex, agrees as he says, “We’ll now give preference to South films which are dubbed in Hindi. Also, we’ll show dubbed Hollywood flicks. And I am sure audiences will come to these films as these films have lot of entertainment. The action in Hollywood films is amazing. As for South films, their action too is a visual delight. Also, their songs make for a great watch.”

Vishek Chauhan also argues that OTT won’t give these films the desired and the deserved viewership. He says, “Uday Shankar (The Walt Disney Company [Asia Pacific] and Chairman, Star & Disney India) is claiming that there are 50 crore smartphones in India and hence the reach is tremendous for these 7 films. If that’s the case, then why does your platform have just 80 lakhs subscribers? At least, Akshay Kumar’s films in cinemas gets footfalls of 2 or 2.5 crore. Your subscriber base is less than half of that. Bollywood has to decide for whom they are making the film. If they give films on the internet, then Bollywood will become an OTT industry.”

Thankfully, not all is lost. There are still many big Bollywood films which will come directly to theatres. Akshaye Rathi exults, “There are quite a few Hindi films as well like Sooryavanshi, ’83, Coolie No 1, Radhe etc which will make it to cinemas.” Raj Bansal in agreement says, “Those who will hold their films will get more benefit. It’s a matter of time.”

However, the other industries are already all set to take advantage. Vishek Chauhan reveals, “The day Disney+ Hotstar announced and hinted about releasing 7 films on OTT, Warner Bros sent a mail to all the exhibitors in the country that their Hollywood films Tenet and Wonder Woman 1984 releasing only in theatres. Universal Pictures also regularly tells us that they are releasing No Time To Die only in theatres. The idea behind these messages is that if Bollywood steps aside, then Hollywood will have a free run in cinemas of India. Similarly, down South, producers have asked us to let their films release simultaneously in North and Western belt.”

As of now, exhibitors are suffering immensely and the Disney+ Hotstar announcement has added to their woes. Manoj Desai rues, “Barbaad ho rahe hai hum log aur digital platforms aabaad ho rahe hai. Aaj Maharashtra meinJuly 31 tak lockdown extend ho gaya lekin Uddhav Thackeray ji ne theatres ke baare mein ek lafz nahi bola hai.”

Sandeep Jain has the last word and he is confident that once the lockdown is lifted, exhibitors will benefit. “Once things get back to normal, viewers will forget OTT and will come to cinemas. Even when VCR technology had arrived, we had faced some problems. Right now, with theatres shut, these platforms are getting so much importance. But later on, audiences will flock to theatres just like old times.”

Challenge Of Enrollment In Higher Education

One of the key objectives of India's draft National Education Policy is to construct the gross enrollment proportion (GER) in higher education to in any occasion 50 percent by 2035. Since the current GER stays at basically 26.3 percent, increasing it in the accompanying 15 years will include critical organizing, change, and bolstered utilization. 

At this moment, starting late released All India Survey for Higher Education (AISHE) report 2018 anticipate criticalness. It doesn't simply give a framework of the current higher education scene however then again, is illustrative of zones that need sincere thought if the 2035 target is to be practiced. 

Gender Equality 

By and large, beginning at 2018-19, 37.4 million students are a bit of the higher education game plan of which 18.2 million are female. This records for in excess of 48 percent of the full scale enrolment, an extension of a rating point from the prior year. Looking back, this number was basically 1.2 million out of 2010-11. 

Enrollment in higher education 

While this improvement is crucial, it isn't dependable across different streams. Since nearly around 80 percent of the total enrollment in higher education is at the undergrad level, a gender direction split across five huge streams including arts, science, commerce, innovation and engineering, clinical science, and law presents a more nuanced picture. 

While female students contain most of the hard and fast enrolment in arts and science courses, the relating share for engineering students remains low at just 29 percent. This is noteworthy since engineering fuses contraptions, PCs, mechanical and information advancement—regions that are commonly more occupation beneficial. 

Also, ladies' made sure about under 40 percent of hard and fast enrolment in the board similarly as law streams. Of course, women make up in excess of 60 percent of the hard and fast enrolment in the clinical sciences. These tendencies add to gendered ramifications for work notices similarly as remuneration structures. 

enrollment in higher education 

To ensure widened and reasonable gender direction interest in structuring and other particular courses, different components must be taken care of. In 2018, the IIT-JEE (India's lead planning choice test) had under 30 percent, female competitors. 

For sure, even among them, only 12 percent made it to the best 25,000. For these numbers to improve, it is essential to address understood inclinations that exist all through the education structure. It fuses keeping an eye on the issue of speculations identified with building-related zones legitimately from the school level. 

Moreover, assistant issues like comparable access to quality training for tests, thorough school/school conditions, geography, changing business points of view towards enrolling women across particular work employments, etc., have a heading on enrolment rates. 

As an underlying advance, it is essential to grasp the expansion and level of these issues before keeping an eye on them. 

Concentration Of HEIs 

Six Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Karnataka—speak to in excess of 54 percent of the hard and fast understudy selection in higher education. Of the 39,931 universities the country more than, 50 areas (out of 731) speak to more than 32 percent. 

Enrollment in higher education 

Along these lines, despite the fact that the school thickness (per lakh qualified masses) is 28 nationally, it shifts from seven in Bihar to 53 in Karnataka. Such spatial uniqueness is an impediment towards extending the GER at an enthusiastic pace. 

For obstructed sections of society, the open entryway cost of higher education (drive, motel charges, etc.), is normally unnecessarily high and forestalls the education methodology. It can even be the choosing variable for picking a higher education association or choosing to stay away from the identical. 

Since promote powers have expected a huge activity in the higher education scene, land esteem has been unpretentious. While urban concentrations in India have performed reasonably well similar to access to higher education, policy interventions for access to HEIs in hinterlands will be fundamental to arrange growing social desires and extending the GER. 

The Low Number Of International Students 

The quantity of international students is commonly a trustworthy pointer of the quality and intensity of a higher education system. Beginning in 2018-19, only 47,427 remote students were gotten together with the Indian higher education system, which isn't adequate for a country with more than 950 schools. 

This number stands at more than 4,00,000 international students in China, more than 3,00,000 in Germany and 75,000 in Singapore. Comprehensively, India considers shy of what one percent of every single international understudy. 

Low number of International Students in Indian Universities 

Impending international students will by and large select HEIs subject to international rankings just as the simplicity and typical cost for basic items in have nations. Indian foundations have fail to remember for the primary 100 of world school rankings appropriated by supposed situating frameworks. 

The overflowing of Indian students for education abroad is itself over numerous occasions the inflow of international students to India. It doubtlessly communicates the necessity for more noteworthy quality HEIs in India across disciplines. 

While the Ministry of Human Resource Development has uncovered the 'Study in India' movement in 2018 that tries to extend the quantity of international students to 2,00,000 by 2024, awards and bursaries can't fill in for associations that can give quality education. 

At present, notwithstanding India's neighboring countries, African countries like Sudan and Nigeria speak to practically eight percent of the international understudy got by the nation. 

While improving the idea of HEIs is a long stretch measure, ensuring predictable advancement and acclimatization of students from African countries will yield respectably energetic results. This consolidates encouraging visa support structures, ensuring the settlement of students in socially touchy conditions and reasonable grievance redressal parts.

RJD's offer of support to JD(U) has some flair, power game

RJD’s offer of support to JD(U) has some flair, power game

Last week, RJD state president Jagdanand Singh suggested that Bihar CM Nitish Kumar spare BJP ministers who opposed the demand for a caste census. Singh went a step further and offered RJD support to the JD(U) if the BJP decides to walk out of the Nitish-led Bihar government over the issue. The open offer of support by the RJD has given rise to frenzied speculation in the political circles. Is…

Parliament passes Bill restoring States’ right to maintain OBC lists

Parliament on Wednesday passed a constitutional amendment aimed at restoring the rights of the States and the Union Territories to maintain their own list of socially and educationally backward classes (SEBCs), commonly known as Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Seventh Amendment) Bill, 2021 was passed unanimously by the Rajya Sabha, a day after the Lok Sabha passed it. In a break from its protests on the Pegasus issue and farm laws, the Opposition joined the discussion and supported the Bill. While the Bill received support from across party lines, at least 10 parties, including NDA’s Janata Dal (United), called for a caste-based census and 12 parties demanded the removal of the 50% cap on reservation.

Maratha reservation

On May 5, the Supreme Court held that the Maratha reservation granted by the Maharashtra government was unconstitutional and that the President alone was empowered to identify SEBCs. In his response to the discussion on the Bill, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Virendra Kumar said the government understood the concerns over the 50% cap and that it should be revisited as it was decided 30 years ago.

From the Opposition, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi was the first speaker. He said the government was congratulating itself for correcting a mistake it made in 2018, referring to the 102 Constitutional Amendment that said the President, in consultation with the Governor, would notify SEBCs. The select committee had pointed out that the language of the Bill could be open to misinterpretation. This Bill was an empty promise since there was a cap of 50% on reservation and this cap couldn’t be changed till the caste census was done to reveal the actual numbers, he stated

“Why are you running away from a caste census? Your Chief Minister in Bihar, another Chief Minister in Odisha and your woman MP said you are going to do this. Why is the government keeping quiet today” he asked.

Plea for caste census

The Samajwadi Party’s Ramgopal Yadav forcefully argued for a caste census. He said there was a speculation that the Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh would delist Yadav, Gujarat and Kurmi from the backward list. The BJP government, he said, was not bringing in the caste census only so that it could amend the backward list as per its wishes. There was need to raise the 50% cap on reservation, he observed.

The RJD’s Manoj K Jha said the speech by BJP’s lead speaker in the Lok Sabha Sanghamitra Maurya was no “Freudian slip”. “Every person who thinks for the welfare of the backward classes will make this demand,” he noted. The entire Bihar Assembly, he stressed, had sought time from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to urge him to bring caste census. “It is essential to know who are the ones who are forced to come to the cities looking for minor jobs? Who are the people who have to lift mud to earn a living.”

The TMC’s Derek O’Brien said the Bill was a result of incompetence of the government. “This government is not in the habit of listening to anyone. When legislation on GST was brought in, the Opposition had warned against the possible problems in its implementation. He added, “376 changes were made in GST!”

Shiv Sena member Sanjay Raut welcomed the Bill, but said it was incomplete, as the issue of 50% cap on reservation was not addressed.

The CPI’s Binoy Viswam said he supported the Bill, but opposed the “government’s politics”.

Former Prime Minister and JD(S) member H.D. Deve Gowda welcomed the Bill. He asked the government to see that reservation for women, which he had moved in his tenure, was provided.

Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge also appreciated the Bill, but said it was unfortunate that the discussion in the House had been less about the Bill and more about “what Modiji did and what Nehruji did”, referring to attacks on the Congress by the treasury benches. “You must remove the 50% cap if you want to implement this. Just add one sentence that the States can give reservation over 50%. That will solve the problems,” he added.

Choice of CS stares at Bihar

New Delhi (05.01.2021): What are the options of Susashan Babu to bridge the huge gaps in administration? Who would be his CS to continue and retain his grip and control over Bihar in the changed political equation in the state?

Even as these questions hang in the balance, speculations are rife in Patna whether CS Deepak Kumar, 1984 batch, may be made another adviser to the CM like his predecessor Anjani Kumar Singh. What's feeding the rumor mills is the long-standing rapport between Deepak Kumar and CM Nitish Kumar that resulted in two extensions of six months each for the former who is now scheduled to retire on February 28, 2021.

Even as the CMO gets crowded - already there are two deputy CMs and a host of officials to assist them to propagandize their achievements, huge administrative gaps are seen appearing in the course of 2021.

To begin with, two senior-most officers from the 1985 batch, Development Commissioner Arun Kumar Singh and chairman-cum-member of the Board of Revenue Tripurari Sharan, are due to retire on August 31 and June 30 respectively; and hence neither of them may be picked up for the CS post.

What may make the selection of a new CS more tricky, not only because of the new political reality of the state where the BJP is the big brother but also because there are as many as 28 state cadre IAS officers who are scheduled to retire this year limiting the choice of officers. Their scheduled retirement means that the government perforce may have to pick up from the list of officers from the 1987 batch (if officers from the 1986 batch are not available), who may be left with at least two years of service and who may have completed 25 years of service.

Among the 28 officers scheduled to retire this year are six in CS's rank, one in secretary's rank, 11 in special secretary's rank, and 10 are JS.

Prominent among the CS rank officers retiring this year are officers posted on central deputation: Current Food and Public Distribution Secretary Ravikant (June 30), Union Sports Secretary Ravi Mittal (September 30), and special secretary to President of India ELSN Bala Prasad (June 30)

A number of other senior IAS officers serving in the state government are also scheduled to retire over the next four months: director statistics Rajeshwar Prasad Singh on January 31, urban development and housing special secretary Abhay Raj on January 31, home special secretary Ishwar Chandra Sinha on February 28, the board of revenue secretary Surendra Jha on February 28; Darbhanga divisional commissioner Radheshyam Sah on March 31; and cane commissioner Arshad Aziz on April 30.

The troubled state is said to have been suffering from huge administrative gaps for a long time. This is reflected in the availability of merely 200 IAS officers against the state's allocation of 342. Even from the available 200, only 168 are said to be working in the state. Of the remaining 32, some are on central deputation and some on the interstate. And even among the 168 serving in the state, 12 from the 2019 batch are on probation.
