Most seats in dental colleges remain vacant

Thousands of people from marginalized

communities living near a state-owned coal

mine in Chhattisgarh are at risk of being

forcibly evicted, said Amnesty International

India recently. According to a release,

authorities began to demolish houses in

Ponri village in Korba on August 28, as

part of efforts to expand the Gevra open cast

mine run by South Eastern Coalfields

Limited (SECL), a subsidiary of the state-

owned Coal India Limited (CIL), one of the

world's largest coal mining companies. Two

houses were demolished on the same and

more evictions are likely to follow.

Government has given SECL permis-

sion to expand production at its coal mine in

Korba from 35 MTPA (metric tonnes per

annum) to 40 MTPA, which could lead to the

eviction of over 5,000 people from their

homes and lands in over 18 villages in

Korba. Those who could be evicted include

Kawar, Gond and Korwa Adivasis (indige-

nous peoples) and Dalit families. "The evic-

tions were carried out without genuine con-

sultation, adequate notice or compensation,

or the provision of adequate alternative

housing," said Aruna Chandrasekhar, busi-

ness and human rights researcher at

Amnesty International India. "We were cel-

ebrating Teej (a local festival) with rela-

tives, when I stepped outside and saw that

many policemen had surrounded my house,"

said Babita Adiley, a 27-year-old woman

whose house was demolished. "I didn't get

even a day's notice. When I protested and

asked to see an eviction notice, the police

dragged me away. Some of our belongings

inside the house were destroyed." Milind

Chahande, public relation officer SECL

admitted that eviction was going on at

Ponri village "but it was being done by state

administration. Eviction can't be done with-

out intimation. The locals, panchayat and

sarpanchs are informed beforehand." While

SECL plans to acquire 368 acre of land, it

has 180 jobs to provide to the affected and

those evicted from region, Milind said

adding that those possessing land more

than 2 acres and have to give evict are eligi-

ble for employment. However, the non-eligi-

ble ones with small pieces of land will be

given compensation of Rs 5 lakh per acre,

the PRO said.

With only three of the 350

seats for Bachelor of Dental

Surgery (BDS) courses being filled

for the ensuing academic this year,

an unprecedented 99.14% vacancy

exist in Dental Colleges in

Chhattisgarh. As the counselling

for the BDS courses ended recent-

ly, there were virtually no takers

for the 347 available seats, includ-

ing 97 in the Government Dental

College. Besides the 100 available

seats in the Government Dental

College, the state has quota of 250

seats, 50 seats each, in the five

private run dental colleges in the

state.

According to officia ls, there

are 500 seats in five private dental

colleges, 100 each in CG Dental

College and Research Institute,

Rajnandgaon, Maitri College of

Dentistry and Research Centre

and Rungta College of dental

Sciences and Research in Durg,

New Horizon Dental College and

Research Institute, Bilaspur and

Triveni Institute of Dental

Sciences Hospital and Research

Centre in Bilaspur. Of these 50%

(250) are for reserved for admis-

sions by the government. With

another 100 seats in Government

Dental College, Raipur, the total

number of BDS seats in the state

is 350. Though the response for

admissions to the government

quota seats in private colleges has

been extremely low in the state for

the past couple of years, it is for

that first time that 97 seats in the

Government Dental College have

remained vacant. In 2012 and

2013, while all the BDS seats in

the Government Dental College

were filled, majority of the 250

quota seats in private colleges,

230 and 242 respectively,

remained vacant. Officials attrib-

uted the poor response to the BDS

courses to the government's deci-

sion of not holding a separate

entrance Pre Medical Test (PMT).

All the admissions this year have

been done through the All India

Pre Medical Test (AIPMT).

According to officials though about

15,000 to 20,000 students from the

state had appeared for the AIPMT,

only 760 students qualified. Of

these while many with good rank-ings have opted for medical col-

leges outside the state, about 535

of them have been absorbed in the

available 550 MBBS seats in the

six (Raipur, Bilaspur, Jagdalpur,

Rajnandgaon and Raigarh) med-

ical colleges in Chhattisgarh, leav-

ing almost none for the BDS

courses. Dr Sumit Tripathi,

deputy director, DME, also attrib-

uted the poor response to the sole

dependence for students from the

AIPMT list . However, he

expressed the hope that more BDS

would be filled during the final

manual counselling scheduled for

Wednesday. Tripathi said since the

manual counselling for the MBBS

seats is scheduled for Tuesday,

students who do not get selected

there might opt for BDS courses.

Meanwhile majority of the avail-

able 535 MBBS seats in the state

run Medical College were filled on

the last day of counselling on

Monday. Though a few vacancies

still exist, they are likely to be

filled during the manual coun-

selling on Tuesday.

mid controversy over Prime Minister

Narendra Modis invitation to

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor for

Swachh Bharat campaign, to which heresponded positively leading to an outcry

from Congress's Kerala unit, Tharoor said,

"The fact is that we don't do distinction in

our politics".

Dismissing speculation that he was try-

ing to get close to the BJP as ridiculous,

Tharoor said those demanding that he be

punished for allegedly praising Narendra

Modi have neither understood his remarks,

nor bothered to talk to him. "Nobody under-

stands when somebody is trying to express a

complex set of ideas," he said and under-

lined he has been seen by some as a foreign

object. And perhaps there is a difficulty in

digesting who I am and how I conduct

myself," he said when asked about the con-

troversy.

Signalling that disciplinary action

would be contemplated against Tharoor if he

kept on lauding Modi's initiatives, KPCC

Thiruvananthapuram, "As a first step, we

are asking him to stop praising Modi as his

stance went totally against the Congress'

ideals." Tharoor said that he is different

from those who have devoted their entire life

to politics, served the nation, served the

party. "I have indeed had a different career.

I have come into politics late in my life and

as a professional and perhaps there aresome incompatibilities that have manifested

these reactions," he said. Tharoor has main-

tained that his response to Modi's call to

support the "Swachh Bharat" campaign

would not mean that he even remotely

endorsed the BJP's "core Hindutva" agenda

and that he continued to be a "proud

Congressman".

"It is completely ridiculous. I reject it

completely," Tharoor said when asked about

talks in some sections within his party and

outside that Tharoor was trying to get close

to the BJP. Tharoor said that the amusing

thing is that everybody who has been seen

on Kerala television has his number.

"(They have) called me on various mat-

ters in the past and could have easily called

me again but they chose to go public and

didnt talk to me," he said. Meanwhile,

Tharoor tweeted saying Mahatma Gandhi

stood not only for physical cleanliness but

for cleanliness of mind, heart, soul and spir-

it. "I therefore urge @PMOIndia to also work

for an India cleansed of bigotry, hatred,

intolerance& divisiveness, an India that is

truly clean," he tweeted.

child who staysout of school

and works as a

demned to a life of poverty and

slavery. And yet nobody in India

paid attention to his argument or his

fight. He won several international

awards. But inIndia he was mostly

treated as somebody who was mak-

ing a lot of noise on a trivial issue.

Satyarthis mission would

have remained unrecognized had

he not gone global. In 1992, Satyarthi

led a Global March against Child

Labour through125 countries. If

he had remained confined to

India, Satyarthi would have re-

mained every bit as invisible as the

children he rescued.

Satyarthis achievement is all

the more impressive when viewed

in the context of our political

and societal indiffernce

toward child labour. In many

ways, comparing him with MalalaYousafzai is unfair. Malala be-

came an international icon within a

few years because her campaign was

met with brutal resistance from the

Taliban. Satyarthi, ironically, was

fighting against an equally powerful

enemy, all the more mighty be-

cause there were no bullets to point

to its brutality. Nobody resisted

Satyarthi's efforts; nobody issued

a fatwa against him or threatened

to put a bulletthrough his head . We

attacked him instead with silence

and apathy. This Nobel Prize

has rightly reminded India and

Pakistan of their common enemies.

It has embarrassed us in front of

the world by pointing out how we

continue to mindlessly pound each

others borders when there is so

much we can all fight together.

Not trying to get close to BJP: Tharoor

Thirty years ago, when Kailash Satyarthi broke away from Swami Agnivesh to

work against child labour, he met with typical Indian resistance and justifica-

tions: What will a poor child do if not work? How will he eat? Do you want him

to beg on the streets instead? Are we not helping him by letting him earn?

Most sound both logical and valid considering the plight of our rural poor and

their families. But Satyarthis comeback is more compelling.

Union Health Minister, Dr Harsh

Vardhan, who chaired a meeting of all the

health secretaries here recently, said

National Health Assurance Mission (NHAM)

would end forever the marginalisation of the

majority of Indians from quality and afford-

able health care. He admitted that several

rounds of brainstorming would be needed

over the next few months to add further

value to NHAM and ensure that it becomes a

dynamic, empowering instrument in the

hands of 1.25 billion Indians.

NHAM is presently being readied for

submission to the Union Cabinet. After it

meets with approval, it will be rolled out by

the end of the current financial year in a

phased manner. The Minister said that a

sound regulatory system would be erected to

ensure that the assurance does not remain a

paper promise.

The broad proposals contained in the

NHAM have been welcomed by the health

secretaries of all the States and Union

Territories. The minister said, Let us have a

social movement that will revive Indias pastglory as a health provider to its people.

NHAM, with the right implementation, right

monitoring mechanism and right informa-

tion systems, will make India a health power

just as it was in historic times.

Dr Harsh Vardhan also got the States on

board with his idea of disease control

through investment in preventive and pro-

motive health. A list of diseases and condi-

tions has been drawn up by for the preven-

tive campaign. These are: measles with

rubella, malaria, cancer, diabetes, hyperten-

sion, TB and chronic pulmonary diseases,

leprosy, obesity, cataract, deafness, geriatric

and AIDS. Lifestyles are also a focus. In thisarea, tobacco and alcohol consumption are

named, as are the merits of sanitation, pub-

lic and personal hygiene, the importance of

organ donation, the promotion of blood dona-

tion and awareness of healthcare of the eld-

erly. Dr Harsh Vardhan also mentioned that

the pan-India campaign will also dedicate

special days to highlight the importance of

nutrition, deworming, and steps to prevent

anaemia. The primal need for protecting the

lives of new mothers through matri surak-

sha will also be part of the programme.

He stressed, I would request all the

States to observe these days because I feel

that with time these will become points ofrally for NGOs, doctors and those who have

experienced but survived these diseases and

conditions to provide a platform which would

go on to motivating people on ways to avoid

them. The States health secretaries were

advised by the Minister to promote the cul-

ture of rational prescribing of drugs among

doctors. He said, If necessary you could

insert a clause on mandatory prescribing of

rational drugs into the contract of new doc-

tors joining the health service. The Swachh

Bharat campaign found special place in his

address. The Minister urged the state gov-

ernments and UT administrations to see the

Prime Ministers call as a blessing in dis-guise. He said, This is the opportunity to go

into mission mode in cleaning up your hospi-

tals, health centres and all health depart-

ment buildings.

Put in place permanent protocols for

cleanliness which would automatically lead

to greater efficiency in health delivery. A

clean hospital invariably leads to greater

faith in the public health system.

Japan Plus constituted to fast

track Japanese investmentsThe Department of Industrial

Policy & Promotion (DIPP) has set

up a special management team to

facilitate and fast track invest-

ment proposals from Japan. The

team, known as Japan Plus, will

comprise representatives from

Government of India and METI

(Ministry of Economy, Trade and

Industry), Government of Japan.

An outcome of the recently con-

cluded visit of the Prime Minister

to Japan, the mandate of the

Japan Plus team runs through

the entire spectrum of investment

promotion research, outreach,

promotion, facilitation and after-

care. The team will support the

Government of India in initiating,

attracting, facilitating, fast track-

ing and handholding Japanese

investments across sectors. The

team will also be responsible for

providing updated information on

investment opportunities across

sectors, in specific projects and in

industrial corridors in particular.

In addition, the Japan Plus team

will identify prospective Japanese

companies, including, Small and

Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and

facilitate their investments in

India. Government has also consti-

tuted a Core Group chaired by

Cabinet Secretary on India-Japan

Investment Promotion

Partnership. This Core Group will

co-ordinate and closely monitor the

process to ensure that investments

from Japan as envisaged in

IndiaJapan Investment

Promotion Partnership are facili-

tated in various sectors and oppor-

tunities of investment and technol-

ogy transfer are fully exploited.

During the recent visit of the

Prime Minister to Japan, the

IndiaJapan Investment

Promotion Partnership was

announced. Under this Investment

Promotion Partnership, Japan has

offered to invest in India approxi-

mately 3.5 trillion Yen (US $ 33.5

Billion) by way of public and pri-

vate investment and financing

including Overseas Development

Assistance, over the next five

years. India has been rated as the

top investment destination by

JBIC for the long term. Japan is

the 4th largest FDI contributor to

India, with major interests in

pharmaceuticals, automobiles and

services sectors and accounts for

7.46% of total FDI equity inflows

into India. Over the last decade,

the number of Japanese establish-

ments in India have increased by

11 times, reflecting the positive

sentiments of Japanese investors

for Indian market.

tions, Revenue Secretary,

recently. From November

is a two-way process and it

has to be outcome of partner-

ship between the department

and tax experts, profession-

als, tax executives and lead-

region being a border state, he

said they would make all efforts to

implement the programme suc-

cessfully in a time bound manner

and increase Pashmina wool pro-

duction to 65 tonnes by the 12th

Five Year Plan. Under Pashmina

Promotion Programme, a major

provision has been made for estab-

Dehairing Plant at Leh with total

financial allocation of Rs 19.35

crore including other machineries

like scouring, drying, and boiler

Significantly, the existing

Deharing Plant has obsolete

Chinese dehairing machine and is

not sufficient to de-hair 45 tonnesof Pashmina wool produced here

and with present capacity it can

only de-hair upto five tonnes pash-

Himachali shawlsneed patent right

The Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh,

Virbhadra Singh

has said that

shawls produced in

that state should

have patent rights

as the hand-woven

products have a

unique identity

and pattern which

should not be

replicated by other

power loom indus-

tries in the

country.

Addressing

members of

Bhuttico Weaver

Cooperative

Society at Mohal

in Kullu recently, he said that it had been observedthat many power loom industries were copying the

pattern of Himachali shawls especially Kullu and

Kinnauri shawls and were selling them at higher

rates. He added that Himachali shawls had great

demand not only in the country but also abroad

and steps should be taken to patent these prod-

ucts. The Chief Minister also stressed the need to

revive silk and wool industries in the State. Citing

the example of Nurpur silk mill, he said Nurpur

silk saris and pashmina shawls had high demand

in the country but many such handloom industries

in the State despite having adequate infrastruc-

ture were idle and there was a need to revive

them. Singh said that Bhuttico weavers society of

Kullu was the first weaver cooperative society in

the country that was formed in the handicraft sec-tor of Himachal Pradesh. The Himachal wool and

silk industry which was well established in those

days, needed to be given a fillip. He said that

small and medium scale industries were contribut-

ing a lot in economy of the people of the State by

providing direct and indirect employment. Further,

they contributed up to 40 per cent in export of var-

ious products. Information technology also had a

significant role to play in this sector, the Chief

Minister added.

Himalayan Bird train

engine may bedisplayed in Udaipur

The Zonal RailwayTraining Institute (ZRTI)

is perusing a proposal to

tow down one of the oldest

and original steam loco-

motives from the high hills

to the lake city. If the rail-

way board gives its nod to

the proposal, the more

than 100-year- old steam

engine, once an integral

part of the classic '

Himalayan Bird' train

having operated between

Siliguri and Darjeeling in

the 19th century, would be

brought here to be show-

cased on the ZRTI premis-

es. The institute was sanc-tioned a steam engine as a

display model some time

back. The initial plan was

to bring an engine kept in

the railway shed at Rajkot

but transporting this

metre gauge engine to

Udaipur posed a big prob-

lem. With most of the

metre gauges converted

into broader tracks, road

transport seemed to be the

only option to get theengine to Udaipur.

However the transporta-

tion expenditure is esti-

mated run into more than

Rs 10 lakh, an amount

considered unfeasible to

be spent on display mod-

els. Considering the budg-

et limitations, the ZRTI

proposed an option to seek

a narrow gauge steam

engine from Neemuch in

MP. Since the steam

engines for narrow gauges

were considerably smaller

and easily transportable

in the current railway

wagons, attempts weremade to seek a narrow

gauge engine. The insti-

tute then wrote to the her-

itage wing of the railway

board seeking allocation

for one of the steam loco-

motives from the legendry

Darjeeling Himalayan

Railway (DHR), listed as

the world heritage site by

UNESCO in 1999.

to participate in the election but he will not

hold the office (President) till further order.

"Till then you keep quite. We are not con-

cerned at this stage with the AGM. Please

wait till the report of the Justice Mudgal

Committee is filed," a bench comprising

Justices T S Thakur and F M I Kalifulla

told the Cricket Association of Bihar which

was seeking directions to declare the post-

ponement of AGM after September 30 as

illegal. Senior advocate Nalini

Chidamabaram, appearing for the CAB,

also submitted that since the AGM was not

held prior to September 30, no office bear-

ers have locus standi to continue in the

working committee of the BCCI.

She also submitted that since

Srinivasan has been directed by this court

not to function as President of the BCCI,

how can he contest the coming polls.

However, the bench said the apex court's

order last year made it clear that the

arrangement was till further order and also

he is not inelligible to contest the BCCI

election. It also questioned CAB's

Secrertary Aditya Verma of coming out with

the plea to bar Srinivasan from contesting

the polls before the submission of the

Justice Mudgal Committee's report. "So you

are filing the plea that don't allow him to

contest when the sword is hanging.

Tomorrow who knows he could be exonerat-

ed," the bench observed and added that "if

there is an election what happens to his

right". Realising that the bench was not

inclined to give any relief to the CAG,

Chidambaram said, "Don't pass positive

order allowing him to contest".

Koke's oppor-

tunistic first-half

strike ensured a 1-0

win for the

NorthEast FC

against Sachin

Tendulkar co-ownedKerala Blasters FC

in the second match

of the Hero Indian

Super League, here

today. The former Marseille front-

man struck at the stroke of the

break in the 45th minute with a

snap angular right-footer that

beat former England custodian

David James, manning the

Blasters bar.

It was an Aibor Khongjee

throw inside the box towards

David Ngaihte, who rolled it

towards the tip of the box for the

Koke. The 31-year-old 'Man from

Malaga' took a first time shot to

find the net. NorthEast could have

gone ahead in the 33rd minute

when a 30-yard pile-driver from

Durga Boro was brilliantly saved

by an airborne James. Boro

unleashed a lethal punch with his

outstep and James dived full

stretch to keep the home team at

bay despite the vociferous support

from the partisan capacity crowd

at the Indira Gandhi Stadium.

With support of Tendulkar

from the stands, Blasters could

have got the lead but an Iain

Hume goal was ruled off-side by

the referee. It was Jamie

McAllister who dropped in a beau-

tiful assist on the left flank for

Stephen Pearson, whose assist

saw Hume tap in the ball but ref-

eree ruled it off-side. It was the

'Yellow Brigade' coached by Trevor

Morgan, who were on the ascen-

dancy during the better part of the

30 minutes but former East

Bengal playmaker Penn Orji and

current Mohun Bagan striker CS

Sabeeth could not provide the

team with decisive result.

Supreme Court refuses to restrain

Srinivasan from contesting BCCI electionT

Guess who the BCCI's highestpaid employees are?

The cricketers might be sweating it out on the field giv-ing their best for the nation but it's not the players who

receive the biggest pay cheques from the BCCI. It is not the

like the current ICC chairman N Srinivasan is the man

either. Nor is it the biggies in the BCCI administration --

the CEO or the COO. That title belongs to two of the

BCCI's old retainers -- Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri.

According to a report in The Indian Express, Ravi Shastri

and Sunil Gavaskar make a cool Rs 6 crore annually from

the BCCI. After the England Test series debacle, Ravi

Shastri was named the director of Indian cricket team for

the ODI series. And after a good performance in the ODIs, the former Indian all-rounder was

recently retained as the director till the 2015 World Cup. Gavaskar is the head of IPL oper-

ations. According to the report, the two already earn Rs 4 crore as BCCI-endorsed commen-

tators and they are earning Rs 2 crore more for their new roles.

Hrithik Roshan's darewas nerve-wracking

for Nargis Fakhrictress Nargis Fakhri has discovered a rapper with-

in herself, all thanks to Hrithik Roshan who dared

her to rap a song. She says she was nervous about

doing it, but managed it fine. Nargis sportingly took up

the dare that Hrithik threw up at her before the release

of her film "Bang Bang!", and rattled off a rap section at

a public event.

When asked about her tryst with rap, Nargis said:

Hrithik Roshan dared me to rap. So I did an impromptu

freestyle rap before the hosting gig for GQ magazine.

The spunky "Rockstar" actress says it wasnt as easy as

she made it look. It was nerve-wracking, to be honest.

But I somehow did it. I dont know how I managed.The

words just flew out. But it was totally unrehearsed, she

added.

ctress Deepika Padukone was left impressed by a group of

senior citizens' wit and charm during a TV show. Zee TVs

multi-city tour in search of happy souls who dance direct

dil se -- on "Dil Se Naachein Indiawaale" -- recently started with

a round of Mumbai auditions that witnessed spirited performanc-

es from contestants across all age groups and diverse back-

grounds.

Amongst many dance enthusiasts, The Bold & The Beautiful -- a

group of eight senior citizens from a laughter club here left the

shows panelists surprised with their dance. While they received

a standing ovation from all the celebrity panelists and live audi-

ence, one of the senior most members of the group - Vinod, floored

Deepika as he revealed that it has been his wish to dance with the

actress since his "childhood", read a statement.

He said: Meri umar hai pachpan, par mujh mein abhi bhi hai

bachpan (My age is 55, but I am a child at heart).

Deepika agreed to dance with him and said that it was an honour

for her to perform with him. She was blown away by Vinods ener-

gy levels when they shook a leg together on one of Deepikas

favourite songs Balam pichkari.

ollywood superstar, director and pro-

ducer Aamir Khan has been appoint-

ed Unicef Ambassador for South Asia,

the UN agency announced here Thursday.

Aamir endorsed the offer, in which capacity

he would support Unicef's work to promote

the right of South Asian children to nutri-

tion. In a programme organised in

Kathmandu Thursday, the UN agency offi-

cially announced Aamir Khan as new

Unicef ambassador after he visited

Kapilvastu and Lumbini in west Nepal

Wednesday to observe a locally initiated

nutrition programme by women health vol-

unteers, saving thousands of children from

malnutrition, a common phenomenon in

South Asia.

"I am delighted to become an ambassa-

dor of Unicef in South Asia. I hope my

messages on the importance of children's

nutrition will make parents, families at all

levels support and adopt proven services

and nutrition practices that will help chil-

dren grow and develop to their full poten-

tial," Aamir said after his endorsement.

Child stunting remains one of the great-

est development challenges in South Asia,

he said, adding that stunted children have

stunted bodies, stunted brains and stunted

lives. "Compared with children who are not

stunted, stunted children have poorer cog-

nitive development, often enrol later in

school, complete fewer grades and learn

less, leading to reduced productivity and

income-earning in adult life," he added.

After sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia

reports the highest number of deaths of

children under the age of five - 2.3 millionin 2011. In this region, 38 percent of the

children under the age of five have stunted

growth due to chronic under-nutrition. In

addition, an estimated 28 percent children

are born with low birth weight, largely due

to women's poor nutrition during and

before pregnancy, according to Unicef.

During his three-day Nepal visit, Aamir

also took part in the launch of the "1,000

Golden Days" national nutrition campaign.

is destined to lead tomorrows sciencejit Kumar Seth, IAS,Cabinet Secretary to

Government of India recently

inaugurated the 4th National

Level Exhibition and Project

Competitions (NLEPC) here at

Pragati Maidan. He visited the

various stalls and saw the Science

models brought by the children

from different parts of the country

and appreciated their amazing

innovatives. Seth was accompa-

nied by Prof. K.Vijay Raghavan,

Secretary, Department of Science

& Technology, Former Secretary

DST Dr. T.Ramasami, Smt. Rita

Menon and other senior Scientists

and officers from the Ministry of

Science & Technology.

Speaking to media person,

Seth said the young buds have

definitely showed their mettle and

the future awaits them for a pres-

tigious contribution in the field of

Science and technology. He said

the unique programme of

Ministry of Science and

Technology Innovation in Science

Pursuit for Inspired Research

(INSPIRE) is a National

Programme implemented for

attraction of talent amongst stu-

dents to study science and pursue

career with research is a right

platform for such events. The

basic objective of INSPIRE is to

communicate to the youth of the

country the excitement of creative

pursuit of science, attract talent to

the study of science at an early

age and thus build the required

critical human resource pool for

strengthening and expanding the

science and technology system

and R&D base. The programme

was launched on 13th December

2008. The implementation start-

ed during 2009-10. The Union

Minister of State (Independent

Charge) of Science & Technology

Dr Jitendra Singh said that while

Indias youth is destined to lead

tomorrows science, it is the youth

scientists who will lead tomor-

rows India.

The Minister gave his mes-

sage on the eve of National

Science Exhibition and Project

Competition for youth under the

aegis of "Inspire" programme

beginning at Pragati Maidan,

New Delhi. Dwelling on the wide

dimensions of INSPIRE

(Innovation in Science Pursuit for

Inspired Research) programme for

the youth, Dr. Singh said that this

is one of the most innovative pro-

grammes developed by

Department of Science &

Technology headed by him and is

aimed to attract talent to the

study of science at an early age,

thus helping to build the vital

human resource pool for science

and technology with a long-term

foresight. Dr. Jitendra Singh said

that ever since he took over the

charge of Ministry of Science &

Technology four months ago, it has

been his constant endeavour to

catch young minds with innova-

tive aptitude at their formative

stage, so that foundation of future

India based on science, rests in

the hands of the best talent avail-

able. In this regard, he cited the

introduction of a scheme called

SEAT (Scheme for Early

Attraction of Talent), which aims

to attract talented youth to study

science by awarding them for their

work and another scheme called

SHE (Scholarship for Higher

Education), which aims to encour-

age talented youth to undertake

higher education in science pro-

grammes by providing them schol-

arships and arranging for them

summer attachment/ fellowship

with established researchers.
