With official twitter-handle of Congress unnecessarily creating big embarrassment for the main opposition party by mocking so-alleged hugplomacy of Indian Prime Minister in greeting foreign dignitaries, it seems that Congress is being defamed by some conspirators inside the party through such actions. Congress President has to do damage control for such irresponsibility like was done by directing partymen not to link the ruling party with so-called Hindu-extremism on the party bearing strong criticism on comments by Karnatak Chief Minister. Nobody can forget putting respectable suffixes like Saheb, Ji etc by a prominent party-leader after names of notorious Pakistani terrorists Hafiz Saeed and Osama Bin Laden just to face string reaction against the party from citizens. Failure to ...

Arguments are being made that the four senior-most judges of Supreme Court after Chief Justice of India must not have bypassed conduct-code number nine of ‘Restatement of values in judicial life’ as passed unanimously by full-bench of Supreme Court on 07.05.1997, by holding an unprecedented press-conference on 12.01.2018 and instead they could have written to President of India on happenings within Supreme Court in case Chief Justice of India (CJI) was not listening to them. But such a course of action would have been unfruitful in present era of opaqueness in administrative side of Indian judicial system. Any such correspondence by Supreme Court judges would never have come out with all possibility of being dumped in files. Immediate time-bound remedial measures are now necessary ...

R K SINHA No mercy to government employees of Madhya Pradesh who desert their old parents. The way our society neglect old men and women, even parents, this is high time that all the State Governments and the Centre should frame law to punish such people on the line of Madhya Pradesh Government. In Madhya Pradesh a certain amount of those employees who are found guilty of deserting and neglecting their parents would be deducted from their salaries and given to the aged ones. The speed with which old age homes are coming up in India, it appears that old aged people are subject of negligence by their family members. You also must have noticed that youth is always mentioned since India is a country of young people as 65 percent of our population is below 35 years of age. No doubt w...

There is not much difference in procurement-price of diesel and petrol. But diesel is deliberately kept cheaper because it is used in transportation of goods and public. There is no sense and logic in passing on benefit of cheap fuel (diesel) to car-owners that too with most of costly and luxury cars now-a-days fitted with diesel engines. Central government should impose a total ban on any further production of diesel-driven cars in the country. Rather CNG being considered environmental-friendly fuel, compulsion of further production of cars with company-fitted CNG kit can also be considered. It will benefit consumers also because in days of odd-even, CNG fitted cars are allowed on days of week. Also cost of running with CNG is comparatively less than through petrol and diesel. ...

शिक्षा में क्रांतिः राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ की क्रन्तिकारी पहल -विनीत नारायण भगवान श्रीकृष्ण के गुरू संदीपनि मुनि के गुरूकुल की छत्रछाया में आगामी 28 अप्रैल से ‘राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ’ उज्जैन से विद्यालयी शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में ऐतिहासिक क्रांति का शंखनाद् करने जा रहा है। मैकाले की ‘गुलाम बनाने वाली शिक्षा’ ने गत 200 वर्षों से भारत को इतनी बुरी तरह जकड़ रखा है कि हम उससे आज तक मुक्त नहीं हो पा रहे हैं। प्राथमिक व माध्यमिक शिक्षा के बोर्ड शिक्षा व्यवस्था में कोई नवीनता लाने को तैयार नहीं है। सब लकीर के फकीर बने हैं। पिछले 70 साल में हर शिक्षाविद् ने ये बात दोहराई कि मौजूदा शिक्षा प्रणाली के कारण हमारी युवा पीढ़ी परजीवी बन रही है। उसमें जोखिम उठाने, हाथ से काम करने, उत्पादक व्यवसाय खड़ा करने, अपने शरीर और परिवेश को स्वस्थ रखने व अपने अतीत पर गर्व करने के संस्कार नहीं हैं। उस अतीत पर, जिसने...

The then Union Minister of Finance Namo Narain Meena on 12.03.2013 (Tuesday) in a written reply in Rajya Sabha had announced to introduce one billion pieces of ten-rupee polymer notes on trial basis in five select cities namely Kochi, Mysore, Jaipur, Bhubaneswar and Shimla with varied geographical locations and climatic conditions with primary objective of increasing currency-life in addition to combat counterfeiting. But now Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced issue of new 10-rupee notes under Mahatma Gandhi (new) series which will be like new smaller-designed notes in denominations of rupees 50, 200, 500 and 2000. Central government and RBI should make it clear how a commitment made in the Parliament can be overlooked, mentioning also cost incurred on never-issued polymer n...

It refers to country’s second-largest public-sector bank Punjab National Bank considering closure of about 300 loss-making branches out of total about 7000 branches. It is noteworthy that Reserve Bank of India (RBI) gave liberty to banks for merger, shifting or closure of their branches in urban areas without seeking prior RBI permission. Step was needed long ago when branches of an individual public-sector bank became too close because of merger of small public-sector bank in the bigger one. It is time long-awaited merger-plan of public-sector banks into some bigger ones may be implemented soon to further bring down overheads in running surplus bank-branches. Reducing number of banks will largely reduce need of clearing-operations where funds could be transferred by bank-transfers...
