Odisha farmer sets off to meet PM Modi to advocate for separate Koshal state

Patra said Western Odisha has been neglected since 1936. He said a separate Koshal State comprising 10 districts of Western Odisha along with Athamallik sub-division of Angul district can solve the issue. Patra said the issue of permanent High Court bench can be taken care of if Koshal State comes into existence. The farmer has been associated with the movement for a separate Koshal State for the last 20 years. Now, he has taken a step forward with his plan to meet the Prime Minister and apprise him of the demands of the people of his region.

The detailed project report for this is being prepared by Dhanbad Municipal Corporation with private consultant Piyush Plantation," he said. "We should begin the work from July."He added that renovation would begin in this current fiscal year itself. The first will be Zilla School, Dhanbad, and gradually expand to the 29 other schools selected by them. "Let me clarify, we are not just thinking about physical infrastructure but also deploying enough manpower by recruiting teachers," said Agarwal.On the school that would be the first to benefit from the plan, the mayor said: "Zilla School Dhanbad is a centrally located government plus two school in Babudih on 10 acres of land. It has 744 students on its rolls. To its existing 14 classrooms, we will add 40 more. We will upgrade its laboratories, library and sports infrastructure."Principal Kanti Rani Lal expressed his pleasure at the proposed renovation. "A team of consultants, led by an engineer, recently visited us to take details of all available infrastructure including the condition of the building and boundary wall, electricity and water supply source, quality of water, playground, among others.

A friend in need: Two friends secure second and third ranks in JEE-Advanced, 2019

He said he was confident of being in the top three rank-holders after he checked the answers. 'The paper was quite tough this year as compared to last year. But I was consistent in my preparation. I would divide my time between my studies and how I want to unwind. I used to talk to my parents, my younger brother to de-stress and also play badminton. I ensured that I do not take too much stress,' he told PTI. Singh was the topper in Delhi zone and secured 340 out of 372 marks. He obtained 115, 119 and 106 marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, respectively. He wants to pursue Computer Science from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, an option the other two toppers have also chosen. 'Computer Science is an interesting field of study and relatively new. The fields of mechanical and electrical engineering have become a little obsolete now, at least in India. I might want to take up research after completing my four-year course in IIT,' he said. The 17-year-old said it was only a few days ago that he created profiles on Facebook and Instagram. 'Earlier, I did not have any presence on social media, but I created my account a few days ago after I got done with my entrance exams,' he added. Singh's father heads the electronics department at Government Polytechnic, Kaushambi and his mother is a homemaker. He credited his parents and teachers for his success. The results of JEE (Advanced), 2019 were announced by the Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee Friday. Of the total 1,61,319 candidates who appeared in both papers one and two of the exam, 38,705 have cleared the test.

Time for home minister to bite the bullet

For the first time, BJP's manifesto for 2019 categorically stated it was 'committed to annulling Article 35A' as the provision is 'discriminatory against nonpermanent residents and women'. Notwithstanding vehement opposition from regional parties in Jammu and Kashmir and some national parties, the fact remains that one of the most blatant violations of human rights has been taking place in the state under the cover of Article 35A. In fact, a large section of the people of the border state has been consistently denied certain fundamental and legal rights and continues to live in an atmosphere of discrimination and backwardness. According to a detailed study by the Delhi-based Jammu & Kashmir Study Centre, one of the worst victims in the state have been women who continue to face severe gender discrimination. A blatant instance of such discrimination is the issuance of Permanent Resident Certificates (PRC) to those who come within the ambit of certain criteria defined by the state government. If a woman marries a non-PRC holder, her husband and children are denied basic rights such as the right to hold title of property, right to apply for government-run higher technical education or a government job, right to participate in the assembly and panchayat elections. In effect, a woman marrying outside the state or a non-PRC holder is forced to leave the state and settle outside. Both Hindu and Muslim women are victims of this law. Further, even six decades after they migrated from west Pakistan during Partition in 1947 and settled in J&K, Hindu migrants are still tagged with 'refugee' status and forced to live in 'camps'. Even the third generation has been denied rights and privileges that were immediately granted to all those who migrated from Pakistan to other states in India. Here too, they are not issued PRCs and hence denied all associated rights. The plight of Gorkhas who settled in J&K in the 18th century is no different. Their population is around one lakh spread across the state, including Kashmir Valley. They face big hurdles in getting the PRCs. Consequently, they continue to remain economically, socially and educationally backward. In 1957, around 200 Valmiki families were brought from Punjab to J&K, following a Cabinet decision, specifically to be employed as safai karamcharis (sweepers). These families were told that the 'permanent resident' clause would be relaxed in their favour. However, their plight is that they are 'permanent residents' of J&K only to the extent of being safai karamcharis. After six decades, their families have grown and children have studied up to graduation and post-graduation. But no one can apply for government jobs or for admission to government-run professional institutes. In a provision no less banal than racial apartheid, the educated youth from these Valmiki families are only eligible to be appointed as safai karamcharis. All these discriminatory practices have been taking place under the refuge of a Presidential order called the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954. It came into effect immediately and superseded the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1950. Besides carrying out many modifications and changes, this Presidential order 'added' the new 'Article 35A' after Article 35 to the Constitution of India. Addition or deletion of an Article amounts to an amendment to the Constitution. And the Constitution can be amended only by the Parliament as per procedure clearly laid out in Article 368. But shockingly, Article 35A was never presented before the Parliament. This Article has denied basic rights to many communities living within J&K for the past seven decades. It has also taken away the rights of all Indians living outside the state from settling in J&K, an integral part of India. Article 35A enables the Assembly to define 'permanent residents' and to give them special rights and privileges, as well as to restrict the rights and privileges of all citizens of India who do not fit into this definition. It is unfathomable as to how such a situation could exist in the free and democratic republic of India. No wonder, many are looking up to Shah to eliminate this discriminatory provision. kgsure@gmail.com DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Cabinet rank for Misra and Mishra

sually, those appointed to the two posts are given Cabinet secretary rank.Earlier, national security adviser Ajit Doval was given an extension along with an upgrade from minister of state rank to cabinet rank. In 2014, one of the first decisions the Modi government had taken was to promulgate an ordinance to amend the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act to pave the way for Misra's appointment. The Trai Act had barred anyone who had served as its chairman or member from being employed by the Centre or any state government. Misra had been Trai chairman for three years from 2006.

FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 Google Doodle: Let the games begin!

The finals will take place on July 7 in the city on Lyon. America, the defending champions, open their World Cup campaign next Wednesday in a bid to take home their fourth title. The four teams making their debut this year are Chila, Scotland, South Africa and Jamaica — the first ever Caribbean team to qualify. In the league, the top two teams in each of the six qualifying groups will advance to the knockout stages, where they will be joined by the four best third-placed teams. Friday's doodle is a part of a series that will be published over the next month. Each illustration will capture the 'local excitement of the competition', Google said. The official mascot of the tournament is Ettie, the French poussin. The prize money for the tournament this year is $30 million, of which $4 million is awarded to the champions. While FIFA has doubled the prize money since the 2015 World Cup in Canada, it remains a fraction of the $400 million that was awarded during the 2018 Men's World Cup. The prize money for the 2022 men's World Cup in Qatar will be $440 million, according to AP.
