T he stock market on Tuesday treated with scorn the mega merger of banks announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and took cues from a host of dismal numbers, including sub-par GDP data. The rupee also saw massive sell-off falling 97 paise to touch a nine-month low of 72.39 to the US dollar. Sensex and Nifty posted their biggest single-day fall since July 8 and investor lost nearly 2.5 lakh crore on Tuesday. Sensex closed 770 points down to settle at 36,563 and Nifty 50 slumped 225 points to close at 10,798. The ferocity with which the bear took grip of the market from the opening bell saw across the board selling, led by public sector banks. The PSU bank index lost nearly 5 per cent and dragged down even private sector banks, triggering a massive panic that saw sup- port levels falling like skittles. The Government attempts to revive the market senti- ments by withdrawing sur- charge on foreign portfolio investment (FPI) and other measures have mattered pret- ty little to change the gloom- and-doom scenario. After the Finance Minister on August 23 announced rollback of enhanced surcharge on foreign portfolio investors levied in the Budget, foreign investor con- tinued to dump their shares in the India market. Their sell fig- ure stood at around 6,000 cr for this period. During the last two months, foreign institu- tional investors sold nearly 20 crore worth of share. Both the Indian indices and rupee continued to under- perform the globe in a clear indication that while the glob- al economy is going through a bumpy ride, India’s problems are also endemic. On Tuesday, bourses in China, Japan and Malaysia were in green, while Europe was in red — but nowhere near the two per cent fall witnessed by the Indian market. The Indian currency has also become the worst per- forming Asian currency. The rupee dropped sharply by 97 paise to more than nine-month low of 72.39 against the US dol- lar as heavy sell-off in the domestic equity market, weak macro environment and a stronger greenback kept investors edgy. The rupee opened lower at 72 to the US dollar at the interbank foreign exchange market and lost fur- ther ground to touch a low of 72.40 against the dollar. The market had to deal with a slew of factors, includ- ing collapse of the GDP for the April-June quarter to 5 per cent, escalation of US-China trade war, depressing auto sales number, and massive decline in core sector growth. The mar- ket, which rallied on Friday in the second half in anticipation of banks’ merger plan, was disappointed by the outcome. Experts fear that weaker banks will adversely impact the books of the anchor banks as happened in the case of the merger of Dena Bank and Vijaya Bank with Bank of Baroda in the past. Experts fear that given the gloomy business environment and slump in demand and consumption, the merger of banks is unlikely to revive the credit flow. After an extended week- end, markets opened on Tuesday sharply lower plung- ing 867 points during the day, the 30-share index ended 769.88 points, or 2.06 per cent, lower at 36,562.91. The broad- er Nifty too sank 225.35 points, or 2.04 per cent, to settle at 10,797.90. Top losers in the Sensex pack included ICICI Bank, Tata Steel, Vedanta, HDFC, IndusInd Bank, Tata Motors, RIL and ONGC — falling up to 4.45 per cent. Only two IT stocks — TechM, HCL Tech — ended with mild gains, track- ing weaker rupee. All sectoral indices ended in the red, with BSE metal, energy, consumer durables, telecom, bankex, finance, oil and gas, realty and capital goods indices settled 3.23 per cent lower. BSE midcap and small cap indices too closed up to 1.65 per cent lower. “The sharp fall in the Q1 GDP growth to 5 per cent and the weak core sector growth are the key factors that have caused a fall in the markets as it opened after a long weekend. The continuing negative glob- al cues, the raging tariff war between the US and China, and the likely sluggishness in the economic fortunes of economies around the world have been behind the rot in the markets here as well as else- where,” Joseph Thomas, Head of Research — Emkay Wealth Management told PTI. Weak domestic consump- tion especially in rural areas has resulted mainly from low employment levels and non- availability of finance, which are issues that call for imme- diate measures to salvage the situation, Thomas said. Despite several efforts by the Government to boost the economy, market sentiment took a hit on account of weak macroeconomic data and dou- ble-digit decline in auto sales in August as the sector continued to reel under one of the worst slowdowns in its history. The country’s manufac- turing sector activity declined to its 15-month low in August, owing to slower increases in sales, output and employment, the IHS Markit India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index showed. Growth of eight core industries dropped to 2.1 per cent in July. U nion Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday assured full security and insurance cov- erage of `2 lakh each to all pan- chayat members and village heads of vulnerable areas in Kashmir. The Home Minister was discussing with the delega- tion of panchs and sarpancha from the Jammu & Kashmir here and also assured that at least five youths from each village will be given Government jobs in the coming months. Shah also said increasing the honorarium of the panch and sarpanch will be considered and restoration of communication facilities will start in two-three weeks. “We have requested the Home Minister to provide us security and he has assured us that the administration will pro- vide us security,” said Mir Junaid, a sarpanch from Kupwara. The security will be given to pan- chayat members with high threat perception. Another sarpanch, Zuber Nishad Bhat, who is from Harvan in Srinagar district, said the Home Minister assured them that insurance coverage of `2 lakh will be provided to every panch and sarpanch. He said Shah told the dele- gation that mobile phone ser- vices in the State will be restored in the next 15-20 days. Junaid, a former president of Kashmir University Students Union, said the Home Minister told the panchs and sarpanchs that as promised on the floor of Parliament, the statehood of Jammu & Kashmir will be restored when the situation becomes normal. Panchayat elec- tions in the State were held last year after a gap of six years. More than 35,096 panchs and sarpanchs were elected to 4,490 panchayats. T he Jharkhand Tribal Development Society (JTDS) is all set to make a pre- sentation on technologies for sustainable land management in upland areas being used in Jharkhand at the UN Convocation to be held in Delhi.The officials of JTDS will give a presentation at the UN Convention to Combat Desertification on September 5 (Thursday). The topic of the presenta- tion is “weather based local- ized planning and implemen- tation, need of the hour.” Representatives from 55 coun- tries across the globe will participate in the convention. Bhujendra Baski, State Project Director (SPD) of JTDS said, "The focus of the convention is large scale poverty reduc- tion keeping in mind the cli- mate change. When we got to know about the convention we prepared a proposal on the work being done by us in Jharkhand and sent it to the UN and it was selected." JTDS will get a time for one hour to showcase their work which will include 30 minutes of pre- sentation, four minutes of video showing the response of beneficiaries and the remain- ing time open for a question answer session."It is a proud moment for us and also the government as the work of an agency under it has been acknowledged by the UN. This will help the State get recognition on international level," Baski said. At present, JTDS has implemented vari- ous sustainable farming pro- gramme at around 68,000 acres of land across the State which has directly impacted the lives of 2.15 lakh people. JTDS is going to give a presentation on three major steps taken by them for increasing crop production in upland areas including direct seeded rice (DSR) tech- nique, mixed cropping and crop rotation. The DSR technique reduces the overall planta- tion duration by around a month. Usually when planti- ng paddy, farmers just throw around seeds and when the sapling grows, they are pulled out and then replanted in a row. This makes plantation a time taking process also leads to sapling into a transplanta- tion shock, recovering from which takes at least 15 days. In DSR technique, the seeds are planted in straight lines at proper distance so there is no need of re-planta- tion and less rainfall is also sufficient for the plants to grow healthy. In the mix cropping tech- nique, two types of plants, like pulses and maize, are culti- vated in the same field. As a result, even if one crop is destroyed, the farmer will have another crop as a sup- plement and it won’t be a total loss. The crop rotation tech- nique is where every season a new type of crop is planted in the field so that the produc- tivity of the soil is not reduced. C hief Minister Raghubar Das today said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay foundation stone of 14 Eklavya schools in the State on September 12 aprt from the inauguration on Inland port at Sahebganj and new Assembly building of State legislative Assembly. The CM, while par- ticipating in UJJWALA Didis conference in Gumla on Tuesday said that it is the government’s priority to develop tribal domi- nated areas and provide employ- ment to people there. Das said that there are plans to open ITI, Nursing College, Skill Development Centre, Eklavya Vidyalay navodaya Vidyalaya etc in such regions. The CM, on the occasion, inau- gurated nursing college in Gumla and said that after training there, youths will get employment at the earliest. The CM said that during the UJJWALA Didi’s conference schemes and assets worth Rs 322 crore were given to the benefi- ciaries of Gumla. He said that the government is working in a transparent manner and if the people and the government work together, Jharkhand can become a developed State very soon. “I am very happy that Jharkhand is the first State in the country to provide the laborers their wages on time under MNREGA. The Rural Development department is eli- gible for congratulations. This shows the sensitivity of the department towards the workers. I remember in 2014 Jharkhand was ranked 29th in terms of ease of doing business. Today, we are in fourth place. All this was pos- sible with the cooperation of the people of the State. Now we are moving towards waving the glory of Jharkhand all over the country,” he said. “The UJJWALA Didis will cover the women of the State under the scheme. They will inform them about the use of accident free use of LPG. All UJJWALA didis will be trained for this. On September 9, 70 sis- ters of Sakhi Mandal will receive the training of master trainers for the use of LPG, who will train the Ujwala didis. It is a matter of joy that the government had envis- aged Ujjwala didi. In all the divi- sions of the State, Ujjwala Didis have started their work. Now with inclusive development, we will be more able to give bene- fit of Ujjwala scheme to all with- out any discrimination,” said he. The CM lambasted the opposition saying that those who gave slogan of “Jal, jungle and Jamin (Water, Forest and Land)” misguided everyone. “On the contrary, we have con- served the same. Prior to 2014, 29 pr cent of the State's area was under forest cover. Today it has become 33 per cent in 2019. These are the anti-development forces attacking the culture of slogans of water forest land. This is just propaganda among you. They do not want the wel- fare of tribals. Tribals should also stand in the frontline of society. The time has come to tell such people that the tribal society has now awakened, become aware,” he added. The CM said that the first installment under the Chief Minister Krishi Aashirwad Yojana has been given to 90,000 farmers of Gumla along with farmers from all over the State. A target has been set to bring the second installment to the farmers' account before Durga Puja. Rs 3000 crores will be dis- tributed to 35 lakh farmers of the State. All this is being given to mobilize resources for agricul- tural work. In order to further increase the agricultural growth rate by strengthening the way the farm- ers of the State reducedpre-4% agricultural growth rate from 14% in 2019 to 2014. The CM, on the occasion, inaugurated and laid founda- tion of schemes worth Rs 322.23 crore, gave free second refill to beneficiaries, trans- ferred benefits to farmers under MMKAY, distributed cheques to CM Sukanya Yojna benefi- ciaries, handed over locks and keys to beneficiaries of PMAY, bank loans to SHG members and also provided various ben- efits to people under various schemes.

Agroup of citizens havetaken up the task of

spreading awareness about theill effects of honking. They havenot only removed the hornsfrom their cars to spread aware-ness but are also educatingcommon people about the needto stop use of horns.

Taking the lead, youngentrepreneur Avinash Dugar,has taken up the cause in thecity. “I recently visited Ghanain Africa and was surprised tosee that despite being a under-developed country the peoplerarely use horns even in theirbusiest street. Despite a sea ofvehicles I could not even heara single horn. If country likeGhana or cities like Gangtokand Aizawl can follow NoHonking policy why can’t we,”

he noted. Avinash, who owns famous

café called La Gravitea in poshCircuit House Area, has alsocome up with a model of NoHonking that is being used tospread awareness. The modelwill be displayed by Ranchiadministration to educate peo-ple. Avinash himself hasremoved horn from his car andis also motivating others to fol-low the same.

Gunjan Munjal, a hearingimpaired model, has alsojoined hands with the cam-paign to spread awarenessagainst honking.

Meanwhile, an official ofregional office of JharkhandState Pollution Control Boardsaid that noise levels are risingand are well above the stipu-lated limits. The measurementstaken recently in the busy areasof Sakchi, Bistupur and Kadma

hover around 70-75 dB.Sometimes, they even touch120 dB against the prescribedlimit of 55 dB for residential

zones.Moreover, because only 7-

8 per cent road space is avail-able in the city, long queues of

vehicles are seen at variousintersections during the peakhours and people have a ten-dency to use the horn till the

traffic starts to move.A police official said that

violating no-honking rulesshould be registered every day.

But, it cannot be done due tolack of police. He further saidthat besides taking necessarysteps to enforce the no-horn

rules, help of NGOs andschoolchildren will be taken tobring down the level of noisepollution in the city.

A car horn’s averagedecibel level is nearly 110dB,which is a serious healthhazard as any sound above60–70dB can result in grad-ual loss of hearing. Noisepollution has become such aserious problem in citiesthat ENT specialists say thatmost of the urban popula-tion suffers from 20dB hear-ing loss.

‘‘Prevention of noisepollution calls for multi-pronged approach from thepollution control board andpolice officials. Public aware-ness campaigns should bestarted to educate the peopleabout the ill-effects of noisepollution and instill civicsense,'' said district official.

With the new MotorVehicle Act coming into

effect from September 1, traf-fic rule violators need tobeware. Across various agegroups, the new traffic ruleshave been received with a lot ofmixed opinions by the residentsof Capital city.

The new law enables traf-fic personnel to not just imposepenalties but also cancel dri-ving license. The fine for dri-ving without a license has beenfixed at � 5,000 while those dri-ving without a seat belt or hel-met will now have to pay�1,000.

For those blocking anemergency vehicle might haveto pay �10,000 or go to jail forsix months or even both.

The first violator in the citywas today slapped with �6000fine for triple riding and ridingher scooter without license.Shailja Tirkey, a student atCentral University ofJharkhand who rides a two-wheeler feels that the new ruleswill compel students to followthem strictly. “Someone froma well- off family can give thefine, but not everyone canafford the increased penaltyespically students who break a

lot of traffic rules, which willnow compel them to followthese for their own safety.Seeing traffic personnelappointed at various crossingsin Ranchi, I saw people on twowheelers without helmets mak-

ing U-turns much before thesignal to avoid getting caught.There are a lot of new checkpoints which have also beenmade,” Tirkey is also of theopinion that there should besome clause for offenders whocannot afford the fine.

City based businessmanAvinash Kumar Mishra is veryhappy with the new rules andis of the opinion that theyshould have been implement-ed much earlier. “About 20years back, no one in Ranchiwould wear a helmet or a seatbelt and now to avoid a penal-ty everyone is seen followingthese safety parameters.

With the new rules beingimposed, awareness will alsoincrease. Everyone will now

ensure that all documents likedriving license, insurance andpollution certificate are in placeand updated. This might takea little time but it will surelymake a huge difference,”Mishra said. “I think the ruleswill bring about traffic safety asdrivers will become moreresponsible.

The rules will only work ifthe administration is strict andnot just temporarily. Therewill be less cases of drunkendriving and more safety to theothers on the road. With thehefty fines being imposed dri-vers will now have to be moreresponsible not just for them-selves but others as well,” saidShruti Khemani, a city basedentrepreneur.

Senior citizen RP Shahi,condemned the new rules andfelt that they are absolutelyillogical. “The basic infra-structure needs to be in placefor these rules to be imple-mented.

If the implementation willnot be proper, there is no useof imposing such hefty fine.Like a few big cities, the trafficpersonnel need to be highlydisciplined and organised.

The chances of misusingthe rules will also increasewhich will eventually increasein the bribes as well.” “The peo-ple will now not take traffic vio-lations in a light manner andwill be forced to follow them.

The increased penalty willcompel the drivers to think

before breaking any rules. Indiahas just followed the culture ofthe western countries wherethere are hardly any trafficviolators,” said Jharkhand HighCourt Advocate AnritanshVats.

For Smriti (Daisy) Jaiswal,a Ranchi based businesswomanknowing that her loved onesare safe is the biggest destress-er. “Strict traffic regulationshave been long overdue and area welcome step.

These measures come inthe wake of rising road rageand accidents. Nothing couldbe more distressing than know-ing that our children our safe.I just hope that this is not atemporary phase but a longterm change.”

Hanging fire since 2013, theproposal of Indian Air

Force (IAF) for installation ofradar and helipad at the worldfamous ski-resort Gulmarg inJammu & Kashmir to track theaerial activity in Pakistan-occu-pied Kashmir (PoK) regionhas finally received the greensignal from the StandingCommittee of the NationalBoard of Wildlife (NBWL).

The Board, which is thehighest decision-making bodyof the Union EnvironmentMinistry on flora and fauna,recently gave its nod for diver-sion of a patch of 1.18 hectaresof forest land from GulmargWildlife Sanctuary and 12.35hectares of forestland outsidethe sanctuary for the estab-lishment of air Defence andweaponry along with helipad.

The area is home to theendangered musk deer, brownbear, snow leopard besideshundreds of plant species andavifauna.

Estimated at Rs 300 crore,the ‘mountain radar project’ ispart of the ‘national defencemodernisation’ plan aimed to‘enhance air Defence capabili-ty in the mountainous terrainof northern and eastern part ofthe country’. The Board, how-ever, in its meeting held recent-ly here under the chairmanshipof Union EnvironmentMinister Prakash Javadekar,made it clear that eco-fragileareas of Gulmarg will not betampered with as demanded bythe State Government.

The State Chief WildlifeWarden had recommended theproposal with the conditionsthat the proprietary and legalstatus of the protected area shallremain unchanged while notree-cutting will be allowed atthe construction site.

Also, no blasting will bepermitted in the area and awildlife conservation planshould be prepared by theChief Wildlife Warden andimplemented in cooperationwith Army authorities to mit-igate the impact of the project.

The project proponent,IAF, had submitted that the“project is required for betterradar visibility inside Pakistan-administered Kashmir andPakistan. There is no serviceavailable in the region to trackthe aerial activity in the PoKregion which has been a threatto various military and mili-tancy activities during peaceand war, it said. Aerial activi-

ties in the area are a cause ofconcern.

“The proposed deploymentof server and weaponry is vitalto providing such capability.After the installation of thesystem, activities inside thePakistan territory would bemonitored and shall provide anedge in detecting aerial or incur-sion attempts across the line ofcontrol. This will also increasethe Defence capability of theentire Kashmir region,” sourcessaid quoting the communica-tion from the IAF.

The State Government hadmaintained that the EIA hadsuggested that the project willnot lead to any tangible adverseenvironmental impact on ecol-ogy of the area. The NBWL hassought a wildlife conservationplan to be prepared by the StateChief Wildlife warden andimplemented in cooperationwith army authorities to miti-gate the impact of the project.

Former ED director KarnalSingh on Tuesday said a

“deliberate attempt” was beingmade to malign his image by aformer officer JP Singh, whowas arrested by CBI forinvolvement in IPL cricket bet-ting syndicate. Accusing theformer colleague of filing friv-olous complaints, the formerED chief in a signed press state-ment said that he was witnessagainst the officer caught forextortion and betting syndicate.

Karnal Singh, who retiredin October last year, was react-ing to media reports that allegedthe Central VigilanceCommission (CVC) in Aprilhad referred a complaint to theCBI claiming wrongdoing on

part of the former EnforcementDirectorate (ED) chief. Thecomplaint to the CVC wasmade by former ED JointDirector of Ahmedabad Zone,JP Singh, who was arrested andchargesheeted by the CBI in thiscase on charges of indulging inalleged corruption. The trial inthis case against JP Singh,another official of the ED andothers is ongoing at present.

Karnal Singh, as the EDdirector, had himself soughtprobe against his joint director,who was probing the IPL bettingracket under the anti-moneylaundering law, on charges ofindulging in corrupt practicesand extortion in the case.

“During my tenure asdirector, EnforcementDirectorate, a report from a

Central Intelligence agencyhighlighted his (JP Singh’s)involvement in a corruptionand extortion case. The matterwas first enquired by the EDspecial director (westernregion) and subsequentlyreferred by me to the CBI fortaking appropriate action.

“The CBI raided the con-cerned officer, arrested him,and also filed a chargesheetagainst him for his involvementin corruption in the designat-ed court. He was further foundto be involved in money laun-dering as well,” Singh said.The former ED chief said it was“important to mention that Istand as a witness against him(JP Singh) in the court.

JP Singh, an IRS officer, hasaccused his former boss ofpossessing “illegal properties”and has charged him with tak-ing bribes from cricket book-ies involved in this racket thathas links to Pakistan.

“It is very sad that certainsections of the media are rely-ing on a complaint made by acorrupt officer who is cur-

rently being tried in the court.After 34 years of spotless ser-vice to the Government ofIndia, wherein, I have handledvery important cases of terror-ism and money launderingagainst very powerful individ-uals and politicians, this com-plaint is a deliberate attempt tomalign my image,” KarnalSingh said.

To put the record straight,he said, “I deem this complaintagainst me by a corrupt officerwithout any facts and merit. Iam disappointed to note thatno attempt was made by themedia to obtain my responsebefore publishing these allegations against me. I wouldhave readily stated the truth asI am doing now,” Karnal Singh said.

Beginning September, theBJP has started its month-long

exercise to mobilise publicopinion for the ‘historic deci-sions’ to set aside Article 370and Article 35A which is aboutresident status in the State, bya vote in Parliament on August6. The Modi Governmentbifurcated J&K in two UnionTerritories which includesJammu & Kashmir with aLegislative Assembly andLadakh (includes Kargil) with-out one. Both the regions arenow to be governed by theCentre, to be effective fromOctober 30.

All BJP Central and StateMinisters, Chief Ministers,MPs, MLAs, among others,have been asked to hold meet-

ings across their respectiveconstituencies and inform peo-ple about the implications ofthe major decisions havingdecisive impact on J&K’s rela-tionship with the rest of India.According to Modi-

Government, neutralisingArticle 370, a temporary pro-vision, has ‘completely inte-grated’ J&K in the ‘mainstream’of the country.

The Trinamool Congress isall set to fight its battle on

the streets against the NationalRegister for Citizens (NRC).Bengal Chief Minister MamataBanerjee has directed her dis-trict-level party leaders to meetthe people and convince themabout the BJP’s “malafide inten-tion” of invoking an Assam-likeNRC in Bengal too.

The TMC leaders havebeen asked to begin their dis-trict-wise campaign onSeptember 7 and 8. The cam-paign will culminate in a mas-sive protest rally on September12.

Apart from the Bengalispeaking people, the TMC willalso take up the cause of aboutone lakh Gorkhas who havebeen excluded from the NRC.

Banerjee’s pro-Bengali,pro-Muslim, pro-Gorkha move

is seen as a counter-strategyagainst BJP’s Hidutva agenda inBengal.

The TMC is likely to clubthe cause of 11 lakh Bengalis,4.5 lakh Muslims and 1.5 lakhGorkhas who have beenexcluded from the NRC.Names of about 19.6 lakh peo-ple have been struck out of theNRC in Assam.

Reacting to BJP presidentDilip Ghosh’s avowal that hisparty would press for NRC inBengal, Banerjee said “let themtouch Bengal and then seewhat happens.” Incidentallythe TMC which was seen los-ing much of its support base inDarjeeling hills in this year’sgeneral elections have sudden-ly found a cause to get the HillGorkhas to rally around herparty.

“We will launch a massivemovement in support of theGorkha population whose

names have been dropped inAssam,” Benoy Tamang leaderof the pro-TMC faction ofGorkha Janmukti Morcha saidon Tuesday wondering whatRaju Bishta the Darjeding BJPMP who was a strong sup-porter of NRC would say afterseeing the condition of the leftout Gorkha population inAssam.

In Kolkata TMC leaderssaid they had already startedreaching out to the peoplewith Banerjee’s message onNRC. “The BJP is trying to playwith religious sentiments of theHindus against the Muslims.But if at all the BJPGovernment of Assam wastrying to find out the infiltra-tors then why have they thrownout 11 lakh Bengalis. Thisproves their anti-Bengali feel-ing,” said a TMC leader and aMinister from Kolkata adding“it will be the biggest blunder

of the Bengalis if they bring theBJP to power in Bengal because… a blunder far bigger thanthat of bringing the Marxists topower in 1977.”

Meanwhile, in an unrelat-ed development BJP MP andBarrackpore strongman ArjunSingh on Tuesday threatened tofile an FIR against ChiefMinister Mamata Banerjee forhatching plans to murder him.

Singh injured his headduring a BJP-TMC clash anda subsequent police lath-icharge on Saturday noon. Hesubsequently accusedBarrackpore police commis-sioner Manoj Verma of a“direct assault on me.” He said“the CP hit me on my headwith the butt of his revolverwith a clear intention to killme. I am sure there was a planof the Chief Minister behindthis as police do not walk astep without her wishes.”

+������������ �����&�����0-�Lucknow: Samajwadi Partypatriarch Mulayam Singh Yadavon Tuesday came out in supportof Azam Khan, accusing the BJPGovernment in Uttar Pradesh ofpolitical vendetta by lodgingland grab cases against thesenior party leader.

Addressing his first pressconference here in months, theSP founder said Azam Khan hasbeen facing “injustice” and partyworkers will launch a protestagainst it. The state BJP hit backlater, saying it is not surprised bythe SP founder's defence of theMP as that party has been“patronising” the land mafia.

Yadav said he could take theissue to Prime MinisterNarendra Modi.

"I have not thought about itbut, if needed, I will meet theprime minister to convey to him

the injustice meted out to AzamKhan," the SP leader said, reply-ing to a question.

The controversial Lok SabhaMP from Rampur and membersof his family are facing severalcases, most of them related toallegations of grabbing land.Authorities have claimed thatthe gate of his Mohammad AliJauhar University is being builton government land.

"Injustice is being meted outto Azam Khan and SP workerswill launch a protest against it.They will hit the streets and Iwill also stand with them,"Yadav said. “Over 80 cases havebeen lodged against Azam Khanand thousands of cases againstthe Samajwadi Party. I havenever seen such a terrible faceof political vendetta," MulayamSingh Yadav said. Azam Khan

has linked the action againstJauhar University founded byhim to the upcoming Assemblybypolls in the State.

“There is an attempt todestroy the university created byhim by begging (money) anddonations. He created it byspending money he had earnedover his entire life, and he alsosold the house he got under theMLAs' quota. He still lives in asmall lane in Rampur," Yadavsaid.

Asked about the casesagainst Khan, he said someonewho had purchased hundreds ofbighas of land would not com-mit dishonesty for a couple ofbighas. "For only two bighas ofland purchased 13-15 years ago,27 cases were lodged against himon serious charges,” the SPpatron claimed. PTI

Ahmedabad: A Gujarat HighCourt judge on Tuesday with-drew himself from the hearingof a bail plea filed by sacked IPSofficer Sanjiv Bhatt, who wassentenced to life imprison-ment in a case of custodialdeath.

Justice VB Mayani, who saton a division bench with JusticeHarsha Devani, said "not beforeme" when the bail applicationof Bhatt and Pravinsinh Zala,another convict, came up.

The judge did not assignany reason for the recusal.

Bhatt and Zala's appealsagainst conviction are pendingbefore the same division bench.

A sessions court inJamnagar has sentenced Bhattand Zala to life sentence for acustodial death in 1990.

On October 30, 1990,Bhatt, then additional super-

intendent of police of Jamnagar,detained around 150 peopleafter a communal riot inJamjodhpur following a 'bandh'against the halting of BJP leaderL K Advani's 'rath yatra' for theconstruction of Ram temple atAyodhya.

One of those arrested,Prabhudas Vaishnani, died in ahospital after his release frompolice custody.

His brother accused Bhattand six other police officialsincluding Zala (then a consta-

ble) of torturing Vaishnani incustody.

Bhatt, dismissed from ser-vice in 2015, is behind barssince September 2018 after hisarrest in another case where heis accused of framing a man ina drug possession case.

While in police service,Bhatt had filed an affidavit inthe Supreme Court, allegingthat then Gujarat chief minis-ter Narendra Modi had askedsenior police officers in a meet-ing at CM's residence to allowthe Hindu community to ventits anger after the Godhra traincarnage in February 2002.

The Special InvestigationTeam which probed the 2002riots concluded that Bhatt,being a junior official, couldnot have been present at thismeeting, and hence his accountwas not credible. PTI

"You cannot have two setsof laws— one for the BJP andthe other for opposition leaders.You are allowing the BJP lead-ers to organise political ralliesand publicity campaigns whilekeeping the opposition leadersunder house arrest. How cananyone justify such a dichoto-my in the functioning of theGovernment," he said. PTI

I��������� ��������� @��� ���������� ������ � ,���.�����5��/���������������������F�!������� �Thane: More than one FIRcannot be lodged in the sameoffence, a Thane court inMaharashtra has said whileacquitting 10 people accused inan over 25-year-old case ofattempt to murder and rioting.

The ultimate objective ofevery investigation is to findout whether the offence isalleged to have been commit-ted and if so, who committedit, Additional Sessions Judge AS Pandharikar observed in hisorder issued last Thursday.

According to the prosecu-tion, the families of one TatyaPatel and Kesharinath Mhatre,an activist of a political party,were into the business of sup-plying construction material todevelopers.

On February 10, 1994,members of Patel's family andsome others, armed with

weapons, came to Mhatre'shouse at Kashi village in Thanedistrict, and warned himagainst supplying the con-struction material to a con-tractor.

They also threw a fireballat Mhatre's house, followingwhich a part of it got damaged.

Seventeen people werebooked under Indian PenalCode Sections 307 (attempt tomurder), 342 (wrongful con-finement), 143, 147, 148, 149(for unlawful assembly andrioting), 436 and 427 (mis-chief).

Of these, three are stillabsconding, while four diedduring the course of trial in thecase.

Judge Pandharikar tookrecourse to a 2013 SupremeCourt ruling, while acquittingthe remaining 10 accused.

He said on perusal of theprosecution's theory, it is cleartwo FIRs have been registeredfor the same incident.

Referring to the apex courtruling, he said, "The legal posi-tion is that there cannot be twoFIRs against the same accusedin the same case."

"When there are rival ver-sions of the same episode, theywould normally take the shapeof two different FIRs and theinvestigation can be carried outunder both of them by thesame probing agency," he said.

Apart from that, the reportsubmitted to the court by wayof subsequent FIR needs to beconsidered as an informationabout new discovery made bypolice during investigation thatpersons named in the first FIRwere the real culprits.

In the present case, the

complainant (Mhatre's wife)herself does not know thenames of all the accused.

"Then, who is the personwho inserted the name of theaccused in the complaint? Thisquestion remains unanswered,"he observed.

"The ultimate objective ofevery investigation is to findout whether the offence isalleged to have been commit-ted and if so, who committedit," the judge said.

"There can be no secondFIR for fresh investigation oron receipt of every subsequentinformation in respect of cog-nizable offence

or of the same occurrencegiving rise to one or more cog-nizable offences.

Only the first complaintcan be regarded as an FIR," thecourt said. PTI

that he did not sustain anyinjuries in the attack.

Talking to PTI, FaizabadSuperintendent of Police (City)Vijay Pal Singh said, "We havedetained them."

When asked whether thepolice have filed an FIR, hesaid, "I will let you know".

The Supreme Court onTuesday sought responses fromtwo persons for allegedlythreatening senior advocateRajeev Dhavan for taking upthe case on behalf of the SunniWaqf Board and other Muslimparties in the RamJanmabhoomi-Babri Masjidland dispute matter.

Dhavan had filed con-tempt petition against twopersons, N Shanmugam, aretired education officer, and aRajasthan resident, SanjayKalal Bajrangi, for allegedlythreatening him for appearingfor Muslim parties. PTI

Lucknow/Mirzapur (UP): TheUttar Pradesh Government onTuesday said it would examinethe FIR against the journalistwho recorded a video ofschoolchildren being servedsalt and roti as midday meal lastmonth, amid growing resent-ment over the case against him.

"Action has been initiatedagainst all those found primafacie guilty in the entire matter,"state government spokespersonShrikant Sharma said. "As far asthe FIR is concerned, we aregetting it examined."

The energy minister wasresponding to questions inLucknow after a briefing of thecabinet meeting chaired byChief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The video of students ofbeing served salt and roti intheir midday meal at a govern-ment-run primary school inMirzapur district had goneviral on social media on August22, triggering widespread out-rage and leading to the sus-

pension of two teachers.The police had lodged a

case on Monday against jour-nalist Pawan Kumar Jaiswaland a representative of a villagehead, Rajkumar Pal, for alleged-ly conspiring and deliberatelyrecording the video in a well-planned manner to malign thestate government.

Jaiswal and Pal have beenbooked under sections 120B(criminal conspiracy), 186(obstructing public servant indischarging duty), 193 (falseevidence) and 420 (cheating) of

the Indian Penal Code, thepolice had said.

In Mirzapur, media personsheld a protest at the district col-lectorate on Tuesday over lodg-ing of the first informationreport (FIR). A delegation ofaround 25 reporters also metVindhyachal DivisionalCommissioner Anand KumarSingh and demanded that thecase against the journalist bewithdrawn.

"We want that the entireepisode be investigated. Thedivisional commissioner said he

will seek a report in this regardfrom the district magistrateand act accordingly," MirzapurPress Club secretary AjayShankar Gupta said.

Meanwhile, when con-fronted by reporters, DistrictMagistrate Anurag Patel said itwas not the way to report thesalt-roti incident, adding thatthe reporter, who works in theprint media, could have takena photograph instead of record-ing the video.

"One person was callinganother and saying, 'I am mak-ing a video (and) I will make itviral. You help me in makingthis video go viral'.

"You are a print-mediajournalist. You could haveclicked a photograph if you hadfelt that something wrong istaking place and publish it," theofficial said. "But he did not dothis, and hence, his role seemsto be suspicious."

Patel said it seemed that thejournalist was involved in crim-

inal conspiracy and, therefore,a case was registered againsthim.

Basic Education MinisterSatish Dwivedi had said onMonday that the action againstthe journalist for merely expos-ing corruption and highlightingreality should not have beentaken.

The complaint stated thatPal was aware that only rotiswere cooked and vegetable wasnot cooked in the Siur prima-ry school in Jamalpur block.

But "instead of arrangingit", Pal called Jaiswal and"pressed him to run it" on theelectronic media, according tothe complaint lodged byMirzapur block education offi-cer Prem Shankar Ram at theAhraura police station onSaturday. Jaiswal, however,had denied the allegations."This is against journalism.You can see the news and ver-ify it," he had told a televisionchannel. PTI

As per the petition, onAugust 29, the Tree Authoritytabled and approved a propos-al made by the Mumbai MetroRail Corporation to cut sometrees in the Aarey area to makeway for a car shed for theMumbai Metro III project.

The authority approved thefelling of 2,185 trees and trans-planting (uprooting trees fromthe original spot and replantingthem at an alternate spot) of 461trees from the area.

An approval from the TreeAuthority is mandatory forfelling more than 20 trees at atime at any place in the city.

The authority has 19 mem-bers at present, including theBMC commissioner. Of these,five are independent expertsnominated by the BMC as perits own rules and the HC's pre-vious orders.

As per the petition, theproposal was approved by an 8:6majority. Two members, who are

corporators, walked out over dif-ferences with the decision, andtwo independent expert mem-bers were absent from the meet-ing, it said.

Besides, there was "no dis-cussion on why six membersdisagreed with the proposal tofell the trees", the plea contend-ed.

The BMC did not discussthe opposition and objectionsraised by hundreds of citizenswho wrote to it before the pro-posal was approved, it said.

Besides, "three of the fiveexperts, namely Dr DeepakApte, Dr SashirekhaSureshkumar and DrChandrakant Salunkhe", hadon a previous occasion saidthat they did not have adequatetime to examine all the trees thatwere to be felled, Bathena saidin his plea. PTI

On World Environment Day2018, the United NationsEnvironment Programme(UNEP) brought out an infor-mative publication along with

other partners where it said: “Our planet isdrowning in plastic pollution.” It stated thatwhile plastic has many valuable uses, we havebecome addicted to single-use or disposableplastic despite severe environmental conse-quences. For instance, around the world, onemillion plastic drinking bottles are purchasedevery minute, while up to five trillion single-use plastic bags are used worldwide everyyear.

Overall, half of all the plastic bags pro-duced are designed to be used only once andthen just thrown away. Between the 1950sand the 70s, only a small quantity of plasticwas produced. Hence, the problem was large-ly manageable but by the 1990s, plastic wastegeneration more than tripled in two decadesfollowing a similar rise in plastic production.And in the early 2000s, our output of plas-tic waste grew more in a single decade thanit had in the previous 40 years. As a result,the world is producing about 300 milliontonnes of plastic waste every year, which,according to UNEP, is nearly equivalent tothe weight of the entire human population(which in any case has become obese). Theestimate is that more than 8.3 billion tonnesof plastic have been produced since the early1950s and about 60 per cent of that quanti-ty has ended up in either a landfill or the nat-ural environment. It has also been observedthat the rate of plastic production has grownfaster than that of any other material, witha shift away from durable plastic towards sin-gle-use plastic applications.

Recently, Prime Minister NarendraModi called for a mass movement. OnOctober 2 this year, when we celebrateMahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary,we should lay the foundation of a new rev-olution against plastic by people themselvesthroughout the country. He appealed to allstrata of society to celebrate Gandhi Jayantithis year as a day to make “Mother India plas-tic-free.” This, of course, would requiremunicipalities, municipal corporations, dis-trict administrations, gram panchayats as wellas Government and non-governmental bod-ies to work towards ensuring adequatearrangements for collection and storage ofplastic waste and most importantly drastical-ly reducing the consumption of single-useplastic.

There are some societies where plasticwaste has been managed with some changesin policies and market instruments. An exam-ple lies in Britain’s supermarkets cutting downon plastic bags for shopping but of course,much more needs to be done. According toGreenpeace, the 10 largest supermarkets areadding 810,000 tonnes of single-use plasticto the world every year. There is a charge offive pennies for plastic bags in Britain’s super-markets, which has resulted in significant

progress but two billion of thesebags were still sold to the coun-try’s shoppers in the last year byMorrisons, a major supermarketchain.

There are NGOs in severalcountries which are also respon-sible for programmes which tar-get single-use plastic. A brotherand sister, Carter Ries and OliviaRies, established an NGO at theages of 8.5 and seven yearsrespectively in 2009. This NGO,‘One More Generation’, haslaunched a major programmecalled “One Less Straw.”According to the website of OneLess Straw, each year 100,000marine animals and over a mil-lion sea birds die from ingestingplastic. And consumers in the USuse 500,000,000 straws every day.According to the authors, that’senough straws to fill 46,400large school buses per year. It alsoput forward data that dailyAmerican consumption is equalto enough plastic straws to wraparound earth’s circumference2.5 times. Yet, almost everyrestaurant in the US servesdrinks in glasses with a strawplaced inside, whether the con-sumer wants it or not.

In India, the entire issue ofsolid waste management, includ-ing efforts to eliminate single-useplastic, requires transformativechange. First, the use of plasticbottles for drinking water is aproblem that can be eliminatedif municipal water supply was toconform to the standards for

drinking purposes. Many citiesin the world have achieved thisoutcome, including the city ofParis, well over a decade ago.

There is need for a compre-hensive plan of action that wouldrequire initiatives on a decen-tralised basis by which single-useplastic can be reduced rapidlyand then eliminated within a def-inite time period beginning onthe Mahatma’s birth anniversaryon October 2. The country hasseen several efforts by gaurak-shaks and others to prevent theslaughter of cows. However, it iswell-known that a large numberof cows suffer physically becausethey consume large quantities ofplastic available on roads, drainsand public places. Plastic in thestomach of a cow causes acutepain, physical problems andmortality. It would be very use-ful if those interested in welfareof cows would work together toeliminate single-use plastic frompublic places.

The solution to the mount-ing problem of single-use plas-tic is not simple. The answer liesin creating consciousness andaction for overall solid wastemanagement because particular-ly with urbanisation, the volumesof solid waste have grown sub-stantially. Till even 10 to 15 yearsago, the quantity of solid wastefound beside railway tracks wassignificantly lower and now thisis an ugly eye sore. Sadly, thereare also dumping sites in themountains where solid waste

continues to be thrown in largequantities.

Unfortunately, a large part ofsingle-use plastic waste goesinto the streams and rivers,which then carry it to the oceans,apart from ruining the quality ofwater in the rivers themselves.Among the 10 rivers identifiedacross the world, the Indus andGanga rank among the top.Overall, the time has come forIndia to pursue a pattern ofdevelopment, which is distinct-ly different from the practices fol-lowed in developed countries,which have produced huge neg-ative externalities. The patternwhich we develop will hold use-ful lessons for the rest of theworld as well.

Unfortunately, even wherewe have specified sustainablepractices with adequate lawsand regulation, enforcementremains extremely weak.

With the Prime Ministernow bearing in on this issue, itis to be hoped that regulatoryinstitutions and law enforce-ment agencies will perform effec-tively in this area. And onMahatma Gandhi’s birthanniversary, we must recall hiswords “ …I make it bold to saythat the Europeans will have toremodel their outlook, if they arenot to perish under the weightof the comforts to which they arebecoming slaves.”

Sir — This refers to the editori-al, “BJP self-goal over NRC”(September 3). The final publica-tion of the much-anticipatedNational Register of Citizens(NRC) in Assam has beendeclared and over 19 lakh peoplehave been excluded from thelist. The purpose behind under-taking this mammoth exercisewas to identify Indian citizensfrom among all residents of theState, thereby leading to the iden-tification of illegal migrants resid-ing in Assam. But as can be seen,the process, which involvedtremendous costs besides bureau-cratic machinery, delivered anoutcome that has left many peo-ple unhappy. The NRC exercisehas left people dismayed.

As a result, the fate of those,who could not get their nameinto the list, is uncertain as nei-ther deportation not detentioncentres would serve the purpose.The only recourse for them is toapproach foreigners tribunalsto appeal their cases. These tri-bunals are authorised to declarea person a foreigner. The UnionMinistry of Home Affairs hasextended the number of days

from 60 to 120 for filing anappeal to the tribunals. However,non-inclusion in the final NRCdoes not necessarily make aperson a foreigner. It’s now forthe tribunals to decide anddefine who is a foreigner.

Sir — Ever since the abrogationof Article 370, Pakistan PrimeMinister Imran Khan seems to bea confused man. He seems to beready to strike but afraid towound because of the repercus-

sions and consequences involved. Before the 2019 Lok Sabha

elections, he wanted PrimeMinister Narendra Modi toreturn to power for the establish-ment of peace between the twoneighbours. But after the abroga-tion of Article 370, he has beenhabitually indulging in nuclear

sabre-rattling to attract globalattention. But his every effort tointernationalise the Kashmir issuehas failed miserably.

What complicates matters forit is the fact that the country is inthe throes of an acute economic cri-sis. It has been turning to the IMFfor help. Further, Islamabad is alsounder intense pressure to clampdown on its terror proxies. It facesconstant threats from the FinancialAction Task Force (FATF). Yet, itdoes not mend its ways.

Sir — This refers to the editori-al, “BJP self-goal over NRC”(September 3). The ones who willbe affected the most will be thepoor, landless and illiterate peo-ple who do not have the requireddocuments to establish their res-idency or legacy. In no way didthe NRC exercise bring a closureto the vexed issue of illegalmigrants in Assam.

Among other things, the two biggest rea-sons for people not giving wings to theirentrepreneurial dreams are fear of fail-

ure and age. Fear of defeat doesn’t let people ven-ture out of their comfort zone and try new, excit-ing and innovative ideas. In fact, failure and thelessons learnt from it can become an asset foran entrepreneur, as loss is a great teacher. Thisintrinsic ability of bouncing back from a deba-cle and a never-say-die attitude makes an entre-preneur successful. Similarly, with the adventof booming techpreneurs around the world,there is a notion that youth is must for entre-preneurial success.

However, a study by Kauffman Foundationdiscovered that the average age of successful start-up founders was 40, with at least six to ten yearsof industry experience. Also, start-ups are twiceas likely to be launched by people over 55 yearsof age as by people in their 20s and 30s, bustingall myths linking youth to entrepreneurship.Additionally, according to a recent survey by FirstRound, a seed-stage venture capital firm, almostone-third of start up founders are over 40.

Failure and success are the two sides of thesame coin. So engrossed are we with the success-es of entrepreneurs that we fail to notice their fail-ures. Not many of us know that Bill Gates, oneof the world’s wealthiest persons, tasted failureearly in his entrepreneurial life with his first ven-ture Traf-O-Data, which aimed to process andanalyse data from traffic tapes. Although it wasa non-starter, the debacle did not stop Gates fromexploring new opportunities and a few years later,he created his first Microsoft product andforged a new path to success.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who recentlysurpassed Gates as the world’s richest man, hadhis share of losses. One of the most notable wasan online auction site, which evolved intozShops, a brand that ultimately flopped. Still,Bezos repurposed the idea into the hugely suc-cessful Amazon Marketplace. Similarly, WaltDisney, one of the creative geniuses of the 20thcentury, was fired from a newspaper for appar-ently lacking creativity. Undaunted, he formedhis first animation company called Laugh-O-Gram, which also failed. Disney achieved spec-tacular success later in Hollywood after facingsimilar criticisms and failures.

Closer home, NR Narayan Murthy, fatherof the Indian Information Technology (IT)industry is credited with building Infosys, oneof most respected IT companies in the world withfootprints all across the globe and the second-largest IT company in India in terms of revenue.But did you know that his first entrepreneurialventure, Softronics, failed to take off? Sunil BhartiMittal is known for creating Airtel, India’slargest mobile network operator and third-largestin the world with 400 million subscribers but lit-tle do we know that he started by making crank-shafts for local bicycle manufacturers and laterstarted importing portable electric-power gen-erators from Japan. He went out of businessovernight due to Government regulations.Without losing hope and with lot of courage, hesensed an opportunity in the telecom businessand started marketing telephones, answering andfax machines under the brand name Beetle andthe rest, as they say, is history.

Thankfully, even in the Indianmarket, venture capitalists have beensupportive of failed entrepreneurs.This is an extremely healthy andpositive sign for innovation in Indiathat the stigma attached with debacleshas reduced and it is being acceptedas a potential outcome of takingchances. While some pursue their pas-sion for entrepreneurship undauntedby failures, others realise their callinglate in life. There are numerous busi-nessmen for whom age is just a num-ber and one can find these examplesin all industries.

One would imagine that LinkedIn,the world’s largest professional network-ing website, was founded by a 20-some-thing, however, Reid Hoffman, co-founded it at the age of 35 and wentpublic at the age of 43 after failing at hisfirst networking site, SocialNet, andworking for PayPal before leaving hisposition at the company in 2002.

Similarly, Colonel Harland Sanders,the man behind the world-famousKFC’s chicken recipe, is far from beingan ideal entrepreneur. Having troubledearly years, he lost several jobs due tohis quarrelsome nature, even losing hisjob as a lawyer after a courtroom brawlwith his own client! Sanders slowlygained popularity for his deliciouschicken recipe while working at alocal service station in Kentucky.

In 1952, at the age of 62, Sandersfranchised his “Kentucky FriedChicken” for the first time. Today, KFChas over 18,800 outlets in 118 differentcountries and territories. One of thepioneers of microchip industry, RobertNoyce, founded Intel at the age of 41,where he oversaw the invention of the

microprocessor, an innovation thatrevolutionised computer technologyand forms the foundation of themachines we still use today. His expe-rience in several companies likeBeckman Instruments and FairchildSemiconductor Corporation helpedhim immensely in his technologicaljourney. McDonald’s, which is hugelypopular in India as well as around theworld as one of the leading fast foodoutlets, was popularised by Ray Krocusing the franchise model who finallyended up buying the company from theMcDonald family for $2.7 million at theage of 52. He wanted to create a brand,where repeat business was based on thename as opposed to one store’s reputa-tion.

An older person has seen hershare of failures and this is very imper-ative for an entrepreneur for two rea-sons. First, the most valuable part ofeach failure is the lessons one learns inthe process. Each failure teaches theimportance of being prepared, hardwork and the need for a contingencyplan. Second, the fear of failure is a lotless significant at this age than it wasin the youth. Since being afraid to failcan result in an inability to make a deci-sion, lack of confidence and inaction,having less to fear can be a powerfulreason why older entrepreneurs have aneasier start.

In entrepreneurship, informationnetworks are inefficient, which provideopportunities to founders to use theirunique prior knowledge to fill theexisting gaps and experience plays avital role in it, becoming the mostcommon factor as to why people startbusiness later in life, in addition to rea-

sonable financial stability. Experiencealso helps founders to have deeper net-works, team managing capabilities,and better business savvy skills fordelivering on their vision. Even foryoung entrepreneurs, failure has thecapacity to build valuable charactertraits for entrepreneurial success suchas tenacity, perseverance and resilience,which are all vital for any kind of long-term success.

It develops an entrepreneur’s abil-ity to push through failure where oth-ers quit and will lead you on the roadto success. Failure can become a creativeally for developing a leadership perspec-tive that emphasises learning frommistakes and poor performance insteadof defending them. For entrepreneurs,the key to success is how quickly fail-ure is converted into learnings and, ulti-mately, into lasting changes in manage-ment. An entrepreneur should notonly learn from mistakes, reflect andaccept failure, but revisit the businesswith passion and keep pursuing goalsno matter what. Running a businessisn’t easy and it takes a lot of hard workand discipline to reach success.

As a result, it should be unsurpris-ing that many times, it’s the older andwiser among us who are better at nav-igating that road. So don’t countyourself out, no matter what your age.Success can come to anyone at anytime. As Thomas Edison famouslysaid, “Many of life’s failures are peo-ple who did not realise how close theywere to success when they gave up.”Failure should be used to bounce backand succeed.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi isall set to woo the Indian diaspo-ra once again when he visits the

United States (US) later this month toparticipate in the United NationsGeneral Assembly meeting. HowdyModi, a mega community summit thatplays on the popular Texas greeting, isbeing planned in Houston onSeptember 22. Modi is expected toaddress about 70,000 Indian-Americans in a show of popularityaimed at wowing Americans for thethird time around.

The first was when he dazzledNew York in 2014 during his MadisonSquare Garden rally with more than40 American lawmakers by his side.“You play a key role in shaping a pos-

itive image of India not just inAmerica but also around the world,”the Prime Minister told a rapturouscrowd chanting “Modi, Modi” at thevenue. The second was an equally bigshow in Silicon Valley in 2016, whichwas also a huge hit.

The Houston show is also signif-icant as this will be the first in the US,after Modi got a huge mandate in the2019 Lok Sabha polls. A known ora-tor and showman, Modi will utilise thisopportunity to connect directly withIndian-Americans and Non ResidentIndians (NRIs). Texas, which is knownas the energy capital of the world, hasa special relationship with India as it ishome to more than 300,000 Indians.

So the question is why is Modiinvesting so much in the Indian dias-pora? For one, they play an importantrole in Modi’s politics and economics.He wants to mobilise the diaspora anduse them to project a positive image ofhim in the US. He also wants to use thisopportunity to further India’s businessinterests in that country.

As the Indian community hasgrown in influence, it is only natural forModi to utilise it further. Even as Chief

Minister of Gujarat, he knew its impor-tance. Besides, while addressing them,Modi also targets his domestic con-stituency. The Indian diaspora is thesecond-biggest after China, with 30million Indians living in 205 countriesaround the world.

Modi has made his interactionwith Indians overseas a fundamentalpart of his foreign visits. In contrast,Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first PrimeMinister, pursued a policy of active dis-sociation from them. This continueduntil former Prime Minister PVNarasimha Rao realised the need formobilisation of Indians abroad soonafter kicking off liberalisation policies.

Modi is not the first to woo IndianAmericans, as it was during the

Vajpayee regime (1998-2004) that thelobby became quite influential and gotAmerican sanctions lifted after thePokhran-II nuclear test and persuad-ed the then US President Bill Clintonto visit India in 2000.

Vajpayee, in his enthusiasmappointed Bhishma Agnihotri, an NRIas ambassador-at-large but Washingtonrefused to recognise two ambassadors.Vajpayee was the first to organisePravasi Bharatiya Divas to honourthem for their contribution. Later, it wasthe diaspora’s influence that helpedManmohan Singh clinch the Indo-USnuclear deal in 2008.

The glitz and glamour surround-ing Modi’s visit this month are part ofa diplomacy drive, which is getting

more and more refined. One of themain deviations from India’s tradition-al foreign policy is that Modi hasinstructed all Indian embassies to bereceptive to the concerns of the com-munity there.

Second, he has turned overseasIndians into an effective tool of his for-eign policy, which is a key achievement.Modi has praised them and called themambassadors of India and treats themas part of India’s soft power standing.He believes that Indian-Americans areone of the wealthiest and most educat-ed communities in the US.

Third, even electorally, Indian-Americans have been useful to Modi.They raised money, provided techni-cal services for his election campaigns,volunteered for mobilisation cam-paigns and lobbying. Moreover, byshowing off his clout Modi also sendsa signal to the US political parties abouthis extended vote bank.

Fourth, given his proposed meet-ing with Chief Executive Officers(CEOs) in Houston, he could also pro-mote Indian business interests byseeking investment from Americanmultinationals. To his credit, Modi has

never lost a chance to promote Indianinterests.

Moreover, the BJP has alwaysbeen more active among Indians liv-ing abroad than the Congress. Fordecades now the RashtriyaSwayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its con-stituents have been working in the USand elsewhere propagating Hindu cul-ture and building temples. By contrast,the Congress has been slow in gettingconnected with Indian- Americans.

Why do Indians abroad look toModi? It is because they trust him andhope he will turn India into a land ofopportunities. They appreciate thatModi has given them many facilitieslike the Overseas Citizenship of India(OCI) card, making visas easier, vot-ing by proxy and admission in schoolsetc. They are now demanding dual cit-izenship.

For Modi the diaspora is not a lia-bility but an asset. While Modi’s crit-ics allege that he is building brand Modiabroad, he feels that their powershould be harnessed for the growth ofIndia as well as his own image and hehas succeeded in both so far.

The gross bad loans of banksare expected to come down

marginally to �9.1 lakh croreby the end of the currentfinancial year, according to areport.

Indian banks’ gross non-performing assets (NPAs)stood at �9.4 lakh crore as onMarch 31, 2019, said a jointstudy by Assocham-Crisil.

“There is a significantpotential opportunity forstressed-assets investors, givenaround �9.4 lakh crore NPAsin the banking system as onMarch 31, 2019. Of this, thecorporate segment, which hasseen active interest from mostinvestors, is estimated toaccount for 70 per cent,” thereport ‘Bolstering ARCs’ said.

It said large stressed bor-rowers have debt aggregatingto �5.4 lakh crore, which is ahuge playing field in itself forinvestors.

Of the total, NationalCompany Law Tribunal (NCLT)list-1 and list-2 comprisedaround �2.1 lakh crore andexisting stock of NPAs com-

prised another �2 lakh crore.“Over and above this,

assets of around �1.3 lakhcrore are estimated to be understress but have not been recog-nised as NPAs, these assetscould potentially slip intoNPAs over the near to mediumterm,” the report said further.

Power, infrastructure andsteel sectors together constituteabout half of �4.1 lakh croreworth stressed assets. Powersector accounts for the largestproportion, and resolution inthis sector has not been sig-nificant.

It said the revised stressedasset framework is expected tobenefit stressed power sectorassets that were operationaland on the verge of beingreferred to insolvency pro-ceedings under IBC (estimat-ed at �1 lakh crore as onMarch 31, 2019).

RBI’s resolution frame-work on recognising bad loansand the Insolvency andBankruptcy Code (IBC) havepaved the way for attractinginvestors into the stressed-assets space and helped speedup resolution, ironing out

issues regarding legal aspectsand resolution timelines will becritical to boost investor con-fidence, it said.

The report also said thatwith a higher cash sharebecoming a norm, asset recon-struction companies (ARCs)will need to focus more on res-olutions and attracting co-investors.

Assets under management(AUM) growth of ARCs aretherefore, expected to berange-bound at 8-10 per centover the medium term, thereport added.

Going forward, withincrease in proportion cashdeals, the discounts are expect-ed to remain on the higherside.

To make way for neweracquisitions and also attractnew and repeat investors, it isimperative for ARCs to quick-ly resolve the assets andredeem the security receipts.

Assocham-Crisil studyalso highlighted that ARCshave learnt from past experi-ences and are implementingsuccessful strategies to improverecovery rates.

Amidst the growing fears ofa slowdown in cargo

movement due to the ongoingtrade war between the US andChina, Union shipping minis-ter Mansukh MandaviyaTuesday said the trade frictionsbetween the largest economieswill have no impact on thedomestic shipping.

“Trade wars are naturaland they happen. But we willnot suffer because of that. Ourshipping industry has to growand there is a requirement forcargo movement,” the ministertold PTI on the sidelines of the70th foundation day celebra-tion of DG Shipping.

He said there will be prob-lems in every sector but weneed to find out solutionsthrough innovation and tech-nology. “There will be prob-lems in each and every sector.If there are no challenges, wewill not be able to evolve andgrow. If we continue being inthe safe zone, we will notprogress and we will not be ableto become competitive. Weneed to continuously innovate

and adopt technology toremain competitive,” he said.He further said the shippinglines should look at differentopportunities to grow in thecurrent slowdown.

“On the policy front, thegovernment is doing its bit. But,the stakeholders need to find dif-ferent opportunities to grow.Since so many ships berth to ourports, ship repairing is one suchsector that can be tapped.Similarly, coastal tourism isanother area that can beexplored,” he said. Explaining theopportunities in coastal tourism,he said, “the pilgrim spots whichare around the coastal areas canbe tapped. Cruise operators cantap this. Instead of spendingmoney on railways and roadtransport, people can also enjoycruise tourism which can boostthe shipping sector.”

Emphasising on the need toexplore coastal shipping andinland waterways for reducinglogistics cost, he said the coun-try will be able to reduce logis-tic cost by 25 percent in the next10 years if we adopt morecoastal shipping and inlandwaterways for good movement.

The insurance payout onthe beleaguered Boeing

737 MAX aircraft after twocrashes claimed 346 lives willlikely be the biggest ever, S&PGlobal Ratings said Tuesday.

Marc-Philippe Juilliard, adirecter with S&P, told a pressconference the twin crashesand the subsequent globalgrounding of the aircraft sinceMarch amounted to the “worstdisaster in the history” of avi-ation insurance.

Besides the accidents,insurers and re-insurers mustalso cover the costs of ground-ing the aircraft which will risethe longer it lasts, Juillard said,adding that it was “too early” toestimate the eventual payout.

Boeing has repeatedlybeen forced to push back theexpected clearance of the air-craft by aviation regulators asa series of problems has cometo light, stoking demands fromairlines with the 737 MAX, orwaiting on deliveries, for com-pensation for their loss ofbusiness.

The tractor industry volumeis likely to de-grow 5-7

percent in the current fiscal onweak growth in rural income,moderation in rural infra-structure spending and high-er channel inventory, says areport.

Tractor sales in the last fis-cal stood at an all-time high of8.78 lakh units, rating agencyCrisil said in a report Tuesday,adding the high base effectwill also contribute to thedecline.

However, despite lowervolume, resilient margins of14-16 percent and strong bal-ance sheets are expected tokeep credit profile of the man-ufacturers stable, it said.

Also, long-term growthpotential remains healthygiven lower penetration of1.5 hp per hectare, comparedwith an average 6-7 hp in thedeveloped economies and 3-4 hp in the emergingeconomies. This should givehope to domestic tracker

makers, though an immediaterevival in tractor sales remainscontingent on an improve-ment in purchasing power inrural markets, it added.

“We believe weak growthin rural income, moderationin rural infrastructure spend-ing, higher channel inventory,and the high base effect willlead to de-growth in tractorsales volume by 5-7 percentthis fiscal,” Crisil said.

Noting that the industry iscyclical and heavily dependenton rural incomes and mon-soons, it said the rural incomewas impacted towards the sec-ond half of last fiscal becauseflat crop production after twoyears of 5-6 percent growth,and farm profitability declineddue to weak pricing.

Consequently, rural wagegrowth was lower at 3-4 per-cent compared to an average6 percent in the preceding twoyears, it said adding lowergrowth in spending on ruralinfrastructure has alsoimpacted non-farm tractordemand in recent months.

Hurricane Dorian came to acatastrophic daylong halt

over the northwest Bahamas,flooding the islands of Abacoand Grand Bahama with wallsof water that lapped into thesecond floors of buildings,trapped people in attics anddrowned the Grand Bahamaairport under 6 feet of water.

At least five people died and21 injured people were airliftedto the capital by the US CoastGuard, Bahamas officials said.

“We are in the midst of ahistoric tragedy,” PrimeMinister Hubert Minnis said.

“The devastation isunprecedented and extensive.”

Winds and rain continuedto pound the northwest islands,sending people fleeing thefloodwaters from one shelter toanother. By Tuesday morning,the storm’s top sustained windshad dipped to 120 mph (193kph), making it a Category 3hurricane, but it remainedalmost stationary.

It was centered 25 miles (40kilometers) northeast ofFreeport — roughly the samedistance from the city as at 9 am.

Bangladesh’s telecommuni-cations regulatory body has

asked operators to shut downcellphone services in sprawlingcamps in the southeast wherehundreds of thousands ofRohingya refugees fromMyanmar live, citing a securi-ty threat and illegal phone use,an official said Tuesday.

Zakir Hossain Khan, aspokesman for the BangladeshTelecommunication RegulatoryCommission, said they askedthe operators to respond to theorder within seven days.

“The decision has beentaken for national security rea-sons,” he said by phone.

“We have been stunned tosee that Rohingya refugees areusing mobile phones illegallyand we don’t have a clearunderstanding of the situa-tion,” he said.

Asked what sort of securi-ty threat the country is facing,Khan said a recent survey inthe camps revealed that cell-phones are being used thereillegally.

He said they have reportsthat people are present therewho pose a threat to nationalsecurity, but would not elabo-rate.

In recent months, more

than 40 Rohingya have beenkilled amid concerns that somerefugees are involved in smug-gling illegal drugs fromMyanmar.

Last month, a ruling partymember was killed in the areaand police blamed Rohingyafor the murder.

At least four Rohingyahave been killed in recentweeks in what police describedas shootouts between suspect-ed Rohingya criminals andlaw enforcers.

Until cellphone servicesare halted, operators have beenasked to suspend data andinternet service between 5 pmand 5 am every day in thecamps in Cox’s Bazar district,meaning that only basic phonecalls can be made, Kahn said.

In addition, they have beenasked to ensure that signalsfrom Bangladesh mobile oper-ators cannot be received inMyanmar.

British Prime Minister BorisJohnson has said he does

not want a general election, inan attempt to warn off rebelMPs from his party backing theOpposition with plans to blockBrexit with “another pointlessdelay”.

In a statement on the stepsof Downing Street in Londonon Monday, Johnson said thereare “no circumstances” underwhich he would accept a delayto Brexit, which is scheduledfor October 31.

The unscheduled state-ment, which had sent specula-tion of a snap election intooverdrive, came following anemergency meeting of theCabinet amid plans by differ-ent sections of Parliament toblock Britain’s exit from theEuropean Union (EU) withoutan agreement in place by theOctober 31 deadline as theyreturn from summer recesson Tuesday.

“I want everybody to know- there are no circumstancesunder which I will ask Brusselsto delay. We are leaving onOctober 31, no ifs or buts. Wewill not accept any attempt togo back on our promises or

scrub that referendum,” warnedJohnson.

“Armed and fortified withthat conviction I believe we willget a deal at that crucial sum-mit in [mid] October. A dealthat Parliament will certainly beable to scrutinise,” he said.

“And in the meantime letour negotiators get on withtheir work Without that swordof Damocles over their necks.And without an election, whichI don’t want and you don’twant.”

Johnson’s latest ultimatummakes it clear to MPs on allsides of the House ofCommons that he would not,under any circumstances,entertain the notion of anoth-er delay to Brexit.

Political pundits believethat in effect is a warning thathe would rather let the gov-

ernment fold and go back tothe electorate in a snap electionthat be willing to consideranother delay to the Brexitdeadline.

On a note of optimism,Johnson claimed the chances ofreaching a new agreement withthe EU had been “rising”because the UK was preparingto leave the EU “come whatmay” by the latest deadline.

Nanotechnology is emerging asone of the hottest career optionavailable to Indian engineering

graduates. From medicine to aero-space and from engineering to manyindustrial and technological areas,Nanotechnology would be the idealplatform to address all issues. Thoughat a nascent stage in India it is poisedto grow at a rapid rate in the years tocome looking at the technologicaldevelopments taking place all around.

India launched an initiative in2008 to accelerate R&D in nanoelec-tronics at Indian Institute of Science,Bangalore (IISc) and Indian Instituteof Technology, Bombay (IITB). Theneed is to have more students com-ing with the specialisation in nano-electronics, and there are huge oppor-tunities in the sector. Opportunitieslie with the blue-chip firms whereconstant R&D is performed thatallows hands-on experience to theengineers who want to excel in thisfield.

EligibilityTo become a nanotechnology

specialist one must have done a post

graduate qualification in the subject.MTech and MSc degrees are offeredby institutes and universities in Indiathat require a degree in Physics,Chemistry or in Biotechnology.

Scope & prospectsA nanotechnologist can get a job

in fields such as medicine, bio-tech-nology, food and beverage, environ-ment industry, forensic science, genet-ics, teaching, space research andmany others.

The futureFor more than 50 years, minia-

turisation of transistors, which are thebuilding block of all electronic chips,has been driving the semiconductorindustry. This miniaturisation hasbeen following a trend of doubling ofthe transistor density in a chip everytwo years and is popularly known asMoore’s law. In general, reducingtransistor sizes facilitates realisingelectronic products with a higherspeed and lower power consumptionat lower cost.

A sustained technological inno-vation and economic pulls from var-ied applications have allowed unabat-

ed Moore’s law driven growth of thesemiconductor industry.

Over the years, the sizes of thetransistors have reduced from morethan a micrometer in 1980s to lessthan ten nanometer in the currentbleeding-edge technologies. With thetransistors going into nanoscaledimensions, there are several tech-nological challenges. Moreover, wehave now entered into a new era ofcomputing.

The applications such as artificialintelligence, autonomous systems,big data, Internet of Things, 5G andothers have taken the center stage ofcomputing. These applications con-sume and generate tremendousamount of data and demand unprece-dented high computational power. Itis now evident that the state-of-the-art transistors, even when scaleddown to very small dimensions, can-not fulfil the requirements of the newera computing. The demand for ener-gy-efficient computation from thenewer applications has made theresearch on nanoelectronic devicesnecessary.

The research on nanoelectronicsis being undertaken on several fronts.Lower dimension materials such asnanowires are being explored. Inaddition to researching new materi-als for transistor applications, there isa rapid advancement in exploratorynanoelectronic devices with newoperating principles. Among these

exploratory devices, tunnel transistorslook to be the most promising inreplacing the state-of-the-art transis-tors. Another trend that is driven bythe energy-efficient data-intensiveapplications is to move away fromhigh-precision computing to novelcomputing paradigms such as prob-abilistic computing, quantum com-puting, approximate computing andbio-inspired computing. These com-puting systems show unique charac-teristics that even the current bleed-ing-edge transistors cannot deliver.However, these new computing par-adigms require innovation at both thesystem level and at the device level,which the research programmes innano is expected to deliver.

Thus, with the advent of new eraof computing, we have entered into anew phase of research and innovation.Though the applications such as arti-ficial intelligence, big data and inter-net of things, and their impact on ourdaily life is becoming evident, thereare several technologies which needto be developed to fully empowerthese applications. Among them,nanoelectronics are one of the mostcritical enablers. In the times tocome, the research on nanoelectron-ics will become crucial, as the easyreturns obtained from Moore’s lawdriven miniaturisation will soon per-ish.����# ��� ��������������� ������ @��� �� �����

So pronounced is the phe-nomenon of college dropouts

becoming successful entrepre-neurs that Peter Thiel has creat-ed the Thiel Fellowship for col-lege dropouts and those who skipgoing to college. Thiel Fellowsundergo two years of trainingand receive a $100,000 grant. Inshort, college is no longer con-sidered the only passport to suc-cess. And in an economy drivenby millennials, success as anentrepreneur and being a collegedropout go hand-in-hand.

The great thing about beingan entrepreneur is it doesn’tdemand a college degree.Someone who is clever, aware, agood communicator, and con-scientious can become a suc-cessful entrepreneur and even-tually hire college graduates withsound technical skills to grow thebusiness. Some of the most suc-cessful entrepreneurs startedtheir businesses because theywere bored in college or becausethe drudgery of working forsomeone else painted a bleak pic-ture in their minds. They alwayshad the entrepreneurship bug inthem and today many of themenjoy success and prestige thateludes the majority of collegegraduates. But what makes beingan entrepreneur so terrific is theyneedn’t struggle to find a job;rather those looking for jobs tryto get the attention of entrepre-neurs. How great is that?

Likelihood of success as anentrepreneur

Every entrepreneur has qual-

ities that separate him or herfrom salaried employees.Whether it is an overwhelmingdesire for success, independence,a need to demonstrate leadershipskills, a belief that a better serviceor product can be created, ahunger to prove themselves, anappetite for taking risk or acombination of each; entrepre-neurs are a cut above those whowork for others to earn their dailybread. Remarkable as they are,not every business is a success,rather more entrepreneurs failthan succeed. Yet enjoyment ofthe entrepreneurial journey itselfis an important reason whymany become entrepreneurs.

An entrepreneur needn’tanswer to anyone but him or her-self. He or she needn’t worryabout being late to the office orabout being out of a job tomor-row. They enjoy all the freedomsmost people secretly crave butdon’t dare try and attain. Theicing of the cake is when entre-

preneurs are successful they arerewarded financially and receiveaccolades from society. In short,when an entrepreneur is suc-cessful he or she receives theultimate validation from societyand perhaps even more impor-tantly from themselves.

It’s cliché to say that BillGates, Mark Zuckerburg, SteveJobs, and Ritesh Aggarwal aresuccessful businessmen whodropped out of college, but thatdoesn’t make the statement lesstrue. These men are today whatroyalty was in yesteryears andthey choose to become entre-preneurs, it wasn’t somethingforced on them due to circum-stances, proving that entrepre-neurship is a viable career path.And the great thing is they havecreated legions of followers whoemulate them because they knowbeing an entrepreneur means anend to knocking on doors insearch of a job.

We talk about education incessantly. Wediscuss and debate about the state of

the education system in our country and theneed for better and more universities. Butshould our focus be elsewhere, instead ofhigher education? What will ensure the besteducation for the citizens of tomorrow?

Education is not just about puttinginformation in; it is about drawing out fromthe learner the knowledge, skills and under-standing that is lying dormant in him.Clearly then, education can’t be limited to thebooks and the curriculum. As Gandhi saideducation must involve the all-round draw-ing out of the best in the individual; body,mind and spirit.

To prepare our children for life, we haveto stop edifying knowledge. Instead, we haveto teach them something unique. In thisincreasingly technology driven world, ourchildren need to learn how to build rela-tionships and how to approach life and work.We need to provide them with opportuni-ties to develop skills such as communication,decision making, independent thinking,teamwork, leadership, creativity, problemsolving and others — skills that will makethem 21st century ready.

Education begins from the very momentof conception of a child. The child is great-ly affected by the parents’ social, emotionaland physical state. A happy, healthy parentwill bring into the world a happy, healthychild.

Undoubtedly there is little uncertaintythat we must focus on building the skills ofour learners in the early years. But, one maysay that it is one thing to talk about theories,and completely another to translate them intoaction.

The answer lies in a well-structured, care-fully planned, accountable and appropriate

curriculum that will create children whorespond and react positively to the learningenvironments. But before all else, we mustunderstand that it is the child who is the cur-riculum. All planning must be done keepingthe child’s needs at its heart and with theawareness that the world around us isdynamic and always in a flux.

Of vital importance is our perception ofthe educator. In this age, educators are notjust licensed professionals at school. Parents,grandparents, friends, along with every per-son that a child interacts with are his edu-cators. Thus, a strong home — school con-nect is truly important.

A curriculum that is planned keeping inmind the changed perceptions and roles ofthe school and the educator along with theneeds of the child will undoubtedly be a suc-cessful one. If we can create an environmentfor our young learners that is wholesome,challenging, engaging and motivating, we willsurely be able to instil an intrinsic motiva-tion within the children to learn.

Just remember that to nurture the cre-ative and curious spirit of the children —stoke the flame and let the fire burn.����# ��� ��������� �)� ���� ����(��� �(� �� ������ $

From customer serviceto delivery, from personalisationto product quality, from dealingwith complaints to social respon-sibility, customers mainly expectsthe top-quality service from theservice providers.

However, in case, if the cus-tomer does not get the servicesup to the mark, then he looksafter another provider who meetsup to their expectations. Tolessen the growing complexitiesin the communication networks,the telecom companies canenhance their service qualitywith the help of automation andArtificial Intelligence (AI) while

reducing their operating costs. Inaddition to AI, BusinessIntelligence & Data Science,Cyber Security, Block Chain,Internet of Things, Android,Augmented Reality & VirtualReality and Robotics are some ofthe most influential technologiesthat would help telecom com-panies.

The AI is the automation oftasks that requires human intel-ligence to execute. The machineis programmed in such a waythat it thinks like humans andmimic their actions. The goal isto execute the functions that aremost simple to those that areeven more complex to perform.Surprisingly, we all use AI in ourday-to-day activities via digitalvoice assistants. The AI allowusers to interact with theirdevices and services withoutusing hands by simply askingthem to carry out the well-defined tasks such as playingmusic, setting up an alarm orturning lights on or off.

The benefits:�Enhancing customer net-

work experience: By building anAI platform, the companies caneasily evaluate the customerexperience. It helps telecoms tocomprehend which customersfaced a bad experience caused bythe network. The AI-poweredanalysis provides insightful data

to the telecom companies tounderstand which customerissues are in their control andwhat can be done to removethose issues.

�Automating customer ser-vice: The AI-powered bots cancommunicate with thousandsof people at once, without anyhuman intervention. AI modelsallow the telecom companies totake proactive actions when thecustomer raises a query. AI-powered chatbots automate thereplying to simple questionswhere the customer needs aquick response from the serviceprovider.

�Increasing sales: To achievea higher closing rate in sales, it’simportant to offer an apt solutionto the customer at the right time.The AI-powered sales toolenables the telecom sales depart-ment to achieve this. An AImodel gives recommendations tothe telecom salespeople for thenext best offers.

The role of AI within thetelecommunication space isinevitable. The technology haspaved the way towards otherareas of the telecom networksbeyond the customer service. Ithelps operators to enhance net-work efficiency; lower operatingcosts and improves service qual-ity and customer experience.

Seeing the importance of

emerging technologies and thegrowing demand for automationin the telecom industry, there isa need to train the future work-force in accordance with thesetechnology-based skills. As tech-nologies like AI, Big Data,Machine Learning, and IoT havestarted expanding its wings in thetelecom space; the existing jobsin this industry will face a strongupheaval. Therefore, the strate-gic focus is to create a demandfor young talent pool in the new-age technology world. Today, AI,Big Data, Machine Learning,and IoT have become the vitalskills that the telecom sector islooking for and these technolo-gy-based skills will bring a bigchange in the telecom sector.

The telecom industry iscommitted towards strengthen-ing the goal of making India dig-ital. Keeping in mind the chang-ing job opportunities in the tele-com sector due to the emergenceof these technologies, TelecomSector Skill Council is preparingthe future workforce that will notonly catalyse the industry trans-formation but also create moreopportunities. The council isplanning to develop emergingtechnology-based job roles (AI),provide them with skill trainingand make them job-ready.����# ��� ����-�G@��������"���� �"��

with an impressive win over2014 champion Marin Cilic toadvance to the quarter-finalswhile Alexander Zverevslumped to a four-set defeat.

Second seed Nadal — thewinner at Flushing Meadows in2010, 2013 and 2017 — pro-duced some electrifyingmoments of brilliance to end thechallenge of Croatian 22nd seedCilic 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.

After barely breaking asweat in reaching the last 16, arun that included a second-round walkover, Nadal stareddown his stiffest test so far tosurge into a quarter-final meet-ing with Argentine 20th seedDiego Schwartzman.

The Spaniardexchanged the first twosets with Cilic butgrasped control bybreaking for 3-1 inthe third, a seriesof dazzling win-ners drawing ananimated fist-pump from golflegend Tiger Woodsat Arthur AsheStadium.

Nadal reeled offnine games in succes-sion across the thirdand fourth sets and 12 ofthe final 15 to nail down a40th Grand Slam quarter-final appearance, nine ofwhich have come at the USOpen.

“The emotions Ihave when Iplay here areimpossible todescribe. Ilove the sport

and feel very lucky to still beplaying tennis here. Eight yearsago I didn’t think that wouldhappen as my body was suffer-ing badly,” Nadal said.

“It’s a huge honor playing infront of all of you and playing infront of Tiger is a very specialthing. I always say I don’t havebig idols but one idol is him andI always try to follow him.”

Nadal’s path to the final seeshim take on Schwartzman nextafter the 5ft 7in (1.70m)

Argentine chopped downsixth seed Zverev.

with best talent on tour,”the 18-time Grand Slam

champion said of hisupcoming opponent.

“It will be a big challenge. Ihave to play my best. I’m happyfor him. He’s a close friend andI hope to play a great match.”

Zverev rolled through theopening set againstSchwartzman under the roof onAshe during a rainy afternoonsession, but he lost his way to godown 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3.

The German was enjoyinghis deepest run in New York but

committed 17 double faults and65 unforced errors and receiveda point penalty for swearing asSchwartzman advanced to asecond US Open quarter-final inthree years.

“Generally my season so farhas not been the best,” saidZverev, who has reached just twoquarter-finals in 18 Grand Slamappearances.
