Under its Summer Action Plan for 2015, DJB is focus-ing on efficient water management by cutting down onwater loss as well as contamination due to leakagesthrough. "Leakage detection thus has two-fold benefits.On the one hand it will cut down on the water loss whichwill increase water availability for the citizens of Delhiand on the other hand it will also address the issue ofwater contamination, which is a major concern forDJB," a statement issued by the civic body said.

To achieve this goal, DJB has set up a Leak DetectionInvestigation Cell which has been given the mandate ofdetecting surface leakages as well as hidden leakages forthe entire city of Delhi, the statement said.

Apart from setting up the special unit, other stepstaken by DJB to make the drive effective include provid-ing more man power and latest equipment for detectinghidden leaks.

The staff deployed in the Leak Detection Cell havealso been provided intensive training on detecting hid-den leakages, it said and added that the city has beendivided into sectors having a team each.

"The team will visit their respective pre-notified areasduring water supply time in the morning and eveninghours to detect surface leakages and will take steps torepair them on the same day. For detecting hidden leak-ages, the latest equipment shall be procured," the DJBstatement said. "Special focus will be on conducting sur-veys of the vulnerable areas which are prone to leakagesand have already been identified in the Summer ActionPlan, 2015," it said and added that "the Cell has beendirected to detect all the leakages in their respectiveareas within next three months. This will also lead toreduction of non-revenue water."

NEW DELHINoting that the volume

of e-waste in the countrywas increasing at an alarm-ing rate, a parliamentarypanel has recommendedcreation of a legislative andenforcement mechanism toprevent India from becom-ing a dumping ground of e-waste for developednations.

The committee said therewere numerous reportsindicating that e-wastes arebeing shipped to develop-ing countries in Asia,Africa and Latin Americafrom developed nationsunder the garb of "usedgoods" to pass on the haz-ards associated with it andto "avoid" the cost of legit-imate recycling.

"The committee recom-mends the creation of nec-essary legislative andenforcement mechanism toprevent the country frombecoming one of the dump-ing grounds of e-waste fordeveloped nations," thecommittee on Demands forGrants (2015-16) forEnvironment Ministrysaid.

Noting that the need toreview existing legalframework is "self-evi-dent", the committee saidthat a necessary policyframework and legal archi-tecture together with effec-tive implementationmachinery need to be putin place to meet the chal-lenges of e-waste manage-ment.

"This should be done in atime-bound manner and inconsultation with domainexperts and other stake-holders," the committeeheaded by former UnionMinister Ashwani Kumarsaid. It observed that giventhe reach of electrical and

electronic equipment inremote and far flung areasof the country, the arrange-ments made for managingand handling e-waste arequite "inadequate".

"The committee there-fore recommends that thegovernment should take all

necessary steps to strength-en and expand the networkof authorised collectioncentres as well as regis-tered recyclers and disman-tlers in the country in a bigway so as to ensure safeand scientific disposal of e-waste," it said. It noted thate-waste, which is "most"toxic of all waste material,is increasing at an alarmingrate in the country and itsmanagement and handlinghas become a "major" chal-lenge.

According to a surveycarried out by the CentralPollution Control Board(CPCB), about 1,46,800tonnes of e-waste was gen-erated in the country in2005. It also estimated thatthe quantity of e-waste will

increase to 8,00,000 tonnesby 2012.

"A yawning gap existsbetween e-waste generatedin India and its capacity todeal with it. ExtendedProducer's Responsibility(EPR) is the main featureof E-waste (Managementand Handling) Rules 2011notified by the Ministryaccording to which the pro-ducer is responsible for itsproduct once the consumerdiscards it," the committeeobserved.

It said that so far 123producers in 11 states and111 collection centres in 15states have been grantedauthorisation. There are126 registered e-wasterecyclers or dismantlers in12 states, it said.

Yadav, along with otherdissident leaders PrashantBhushan, Ajit Jha andAnand Kumar wereremoved from AAP lastmonth for anti-party activ-ities. On a tour to the cityin connection with theSwaraj Abhiyan move-ment launched by theexpelled members, he saidthat "there is a need to cre-ate an alternative politics,and not an alternativepolitical party".

He said the Swarajabhiyan aims to retain,

"Our aim is to bring backthe thousands of peoplewho feel cheated and wantto leave politics, Thosewho had dreamt of cleans-ing the political systemhave suffered a blow," saidYadav, a noted psepholo-gist.

Coming down heavilyon West Bengal`s rulingTrinamool Congress,Yadav said it has not onlyabsorbed all the sins of the34-year Left Front regime,but also added to them.

"People had hoped thatthe suffocation they expe-rienced during the LF rulewould change for the bet-ter under the Trinamool.That`s the reason theyvoted for the Trinamool insuch huge numbers. Butnow they realise that it iseven worse."

US military aircraft and personnel weredue to arrive in Nepal today, a day later thanexpected, to help ferry relief supplies tostricken areas outside the capital Kathmandu,a US Marines spokeswoman said.

Marine Brigadier General Paul Kennedyhas said the delayed US contingent includedat least 100 US soldiers, lifting equipmentand six military aircraft, two of them helicop-ters.

The team arrives as criticism mounted overa pile-up of relief material at Kathmandu air-port, the only international gateway to theHimalayan nation, because of customsinspections.

United Nations Resident RepresentativeJamie McGoldrick said the government mustloosen its normal customs restrictions to dealwith the increasing flow of relief materialpouring in from abroad.

But the government, complaining it hasreceived unneeded supplies such as tuna andmayonnaise, insisted its customs agents hadto check all emergency shipments.

"They should not be using peacetime cus-toms methodology," the UN's McGoldricksaid. Instead, he argued, all relief materialshould get a blanket exemption from checkson arrival.

Kennedy also warned against bottlenecksat Kathmandu airport, saying: "What youdon't want to do is build up a mountain ofsupplies" that block space for planes or moresupplies.

Nepal lifted import taxes on tarpaulins andtents on Friday but a home ministryspokesman, Laxmi Prasad Dhakal, said allgoods coming in from overseas had to beinspected. "This is something we need to do,"he said.

Nepali government officials have saidefforts to step up the pace of delivery of reliefmaterial to remote areas were also frustratedby a shortage of supply trucks and drivers,many of whom had returned to their villagesto help their families.

"Our granaries are full and we have amplefood stock, but we are not able to transportsupplies at a faster pace," said Shrimani RajKhanal, a manager at the Nepal Food Corp.

According to the United Nations, 600,000houses have been destroyed or damaged.

The United Nations said 8 million ofNepal's 28 million people were affected, withat least 2 million needing tents, water, foodand medicines over the next three months.

The top priorities now are getting aid andshelter to people before the monsoon seasonstarts within weeks and adds to the difficultyin distributing relief supplies, World FoodProgramme executive director ErtharinCousin told Reuters.

"Our fear is the monsoon will come early,"she said.

Disease is also a worry. "Hospitals areoverflowing, water is scarce, bodies are stillburied under the rubble and people are stillsleeping in the open," Rownak Khan,UNICEF's deputy representative in Nepal,said in a statement.

"This is a perfect breeding ground for dis-eases."

In the northern Rasuwa district, a Nepalipolice team has pulled out the bodies ofabout 50 people, including some foreigntrekkers, from the avalanche-hit area, offi-cials said.

The entire village of Langtang was wipedout by the avalanche, said Ganga Sagar Pant,the head of the Trekking AgenciesAssociation of Nepal, who has a representa-tive in the area.

The village is on a popular trekking routeand has 55 guesthouses catering to visitors. Itwas not clear how many people were there atthe time of the avalanche and whether theywere foreigners or local villagers.

None of the recovered bodies has beenidentified, said Pravin Pokharel, deputy

superintendent of police in the northern dis-trict of Rasuwa. Pokharel, who led the policeteam, said the bodies were pulled out fromunder snow and ice on Saturday. Rescuerswere to return to the remote area on Sunday.

At least 200 other people are still missingin Langtang, including villagers and trekkers,said Uddhav Bhattarai, the seniormostbureaucrat in the district.

"We had not been able to reach the areaearlier because of rains and cloudy weather,"he said by telephone.

Tulsi Prasad Gautam, the head of Nepal'stourism department, said: "The death toll (offoreigners in Nepal) will go higher becausein the Langtang area a significant number arestill missing."

101-Year-Old...miles) northwest of Kathmandu."He has injuries on his left ankle and hand.

His family is with him."Police also rescued three women from

under rubble on Sunday in Sindupalchowk,one of the districts worst hit by the quake,although it was not immediately known howlong they had been trapped.

One had been buried by a landslide whilethe other two were under the rubble of a col-lapsed house.

"They are being taken to hospital for treat-ment," said Suraj Khadka, an officer with theArmed Police Force in Kathmandu.

Nepal's government had on Saturday ruledout finding more survivors buried in the ruinsof Kathmandu.

Multiple teams of rescuers from more than20 countries have been using sniffer dogs andheat-seeking equipment to find survivors inthe rubble of the capital.

But outside the city search and rescue workhas largely been carried out by local policeand troops.

Fresh Tremors...authorities said."Such kind of aftershocks repeat for weeks

when big quake jolts. So people should notbe worried," said Lok Bijaya Adhikari of theNational Seismological Centre.

Nepal Shares...even this afternoon. Repair work on the

runway in on.The restrictions, however, do not apply to

scheduled international flights irrespective ofthe type of the aircraft.

The Nepalese authorities say the measureis not hampering the flow of relief material.

Cracks had first appeared on the runway inJune 2011 and have become a recurring prob-lem. In August 2013, the airport authorityhad asked all international carriers to findalternatives to wide-body aircraft flying intothe airport.

Over the last eight days, more than 300 res-cue flights, including 150 chartered ones,have landed here.

Some Western countries had apparentlysought permission to land big jets carryingrelief materials. The US had planned to bringin relief materials on a Boeing 747, reportedIndo-Asian News Service quoting sources.

After the government ruled out findingmore survivors buried in the ruins ofKathmandu, the focus has shifted to deliver-ing aid in Kathmandu and in the far-flungareas of the devastated nation.

But the UN's head of humanitarian affairsValerie Amos has said she was worried theforeign aid was being held up by red tape.

"I was extremely concerned to hear reportsthat customs was taking such a long time,"Agence France-Presse quoted Ms Amos assaying. She said she has asked PrimeMinister Sushil Koirala to speed up customsclearance for aid materials.

PM Modi...life and teachings of the Buddha would

also be discussed at the gathering which is tobe attended by ambassadors, MPs, scholarsand Buddhist monks from across the globe.

Announcing the "extraordinary" celebra-tions today, Minister of State for HomeAffairs Kiren Rijiju said that the "interna-tional community has always looked up toIndia for taking a lead as this is the countrywhere Buddha attained enlightenment andwhere Buddhism was born".

Responding to queries from reporters, theminister, meanwhile, dismissed any notionthat the event was aimed at delivering "polit-ical messages" across the border and said thatorganising it was "natural" on the part ofIndia.

He rued that there had been little effort orgovernment initiative to mark BuddhaPurnima and said that the celebrations wouldbe an annual affair from now on.

"It is going to begin from this year. It isincumbent upon India to take the lead.Buddhist countries look up to India for thisguidance," he said.

Only twice since Independence hasBuddha Purnima been officially commem-morated, in 1956 and 2007.

Mr Rijiju said that the Prime Minister willlead the nation in offering prayers for thepeople of earthquake-struck Nepal.

Talking about the proposal to transform theBuddha Stupa on the Yamuna banks in Delhiinto a centre of attraction for people from theworld-over, he said a committee would be

formed to implement the same.Discussions have been held with the Prime

Minister in this regard, he added."We would like to ensure that it becomes a

centre for understanding the life of LordBuddha. We want to make it a place such thatanybody visiting India would want to visitit," he said.

The Buddhist tradition regards Lumbini, inpresent-day Nepal, to be the birthplace of theBuddha.

President, Vice...compassion and non-violence inspire the

people of our nation and the entire world tomake steady progress on the path of 'Shanti','Ahimsa' and 'Maitri'."

In his message, the Vice President saidLord Buddha's timeless message of rightconduct, universal love, compassion and tol-erance continue to show the way to alleviatehuman suffering in our times.

"On this happy day, let us commit our-selves to tread the path shown by Buddha sothat we can build a truly peaceful andhumane society," he said.

Rahul Gandhi...the initiative for its statehood.Mr Gandhi will visit Medak, the con-

stituency of KCR, where at least 100 farmershave killed themselves since last year.

Mr Gandhi has been invited to OsmaniaUniversity by a student's committee whichsays it wants to thank the Congress and himfor making Telangana state a reality.

Mr Gandhi will tell the youth and farmersin the state that he stands with them as angerrises over rural distress and unemployment.

Punjab Teen...led opposition, which had planned a strike

on Monday. The girl's immediate family willnot be joining the protests. In a U-turn afterhis meeting with the officials, the girl'sfather, who had accused the police of puttingpressure on them, also said "no one hadthreatened" him.

In a statement, the furious Congress calledit "blood money", which will "further pro-mote crime". Aam Aadmi PartyParliamentarian Bhagwant Mann said thefamily had been "pressured for compromise".

The Badals, he said, should have paid themoney "from their own pocket," instead ofusing the state exchequer.

For four days since she died, the girl's bodyhas been at the centre of the protests inMoga. The tragedy came as a shot in the armfor the opposition, given Mr Badal's connec-tion with Orbit Aviation.

The opposition had been demanding theresignation of the Chief Minister and hisdaughter-in-law Harsimrat Kaur Badal- whois a minister at the Centre -- and a judicialinquiry into the case.

Aditya Birla...equity shares of Pantaloons Fashion for

every 500 shares they hold after the MaduraLifestyle brand splits off from MaduraGarments.

Preference shareholders in MaduraGarments will get one new common share inPantaloons Fashion for each preference shareheld.

"This move to bring all the branded appar-els businesses under one roof will accelerategrowth," said Pranab Barua, business direc-tor of apparel and retail business at theAditya Birla Group, in the statement.

The transaction, which is subject to regula-tory approval, is expected to be completed inthe next six to nine months, the companystatement said on Sunday.

Green Tribunal...of officers and asked it to submit a status

report, including remedial measures whichwere needed.

"From the records before us it is evidentthat all public authorities without exceptionare shifting responsibility on one pretext orthe other. It is unfortunate that in a matter ofenvironment and public health, the approachof the authorities should be such....

"We restrain and prohibit any corporation,authority, public body or any of itsworkers/officers from throwing any munici-pal solid waste and other waste into theHindon canal," the bench said.

The tribunal constituted a committee ofofficers nominated by DDA-Vice Chairman,Commissioner of East Delhi MunicipalCorporation, PWD, Delhi, Delhi Jal Board,Uttar Pradesh government and Uttar PradeshPollution Control Board.

"This committee will conduct inspection ofthe area in question and submit its statusreport including the remedial measures thatare required to be taken for ensuring that nomunicipal solid waste or other waste isthrown into the canal," the bench said.

It directed all the parties to appear beforethe DDA-Vice Chairman on May 12 at 3 pmwhile posting the matter for next hearing onMay 25.

Advocates Balendu Shekhar and VivekJaiswal, appearing for EDMC, assured thebench that the municipal body will ensure thecompliance of the order.

The tribunal's direction came while hearinga petition filed by Vasundhara Enclave resi-

dent JP Sharma seeking directions to removemunicipal waste from the canal.

He alleged that besides municipal waste,construction waste and building debris arealso dumped into the canal resulting in waterand air pollution.

Eight Assam ...There were over 20 Assam Rifles person-

nel in the vehicle, he said."Our forces retaliated but eight of our

jawans were killed on the spot while fourothers received injuries. They have beentaken to a hospital and an operation has beenlaunched in and around the area," he said.

The Assam Rifles officials suspect theNational Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) to be behind the attack.

The militant outfit had recently abrogatedfrom the ceasefire agreement with the uniongovernment. The outfit had last month alsotargeted security forces in Nagaland andArunachal Pradesh.

Finance Minister...Jaitley said that in 1993 the UN General

Assembly proclaimed May 3 as World PressFreedom Day.

"This day is celebrated globally to ensurepress freedom and encourage development ofinitiatives towards the same. On this day, Iwish fellow citizens and journalist friends thevery best. Let us rededicate ourselves todayto the constitutional principles of independ-ent, free and pluralistic media," Mr Jaitleysaid in his message.

Minister of State for I&B RajyavarhdanRathore also posted a message on Twitterextending his greetings. Calling freedom ofspeech and expression quintessential in ademocracy, Mr Rathore said that the govern-ment is fully committed to freedom of Press.

Mukul Roy...source told PTI. Mr Roy was earlier sum-

moned by the CBI for questioning on January30 for the first time this year. His questioningfeulled speculations that he may be arrestedby the agency just like happened in the caseof West Bengal cabinet minister MadanMitra, who is in jail custody seeking bail. MrMitra was indentified as a 'key conspirator' inthe Saradha scam case.

Mr Roy after the interrogation, had toldreporters that he would be fully cooperatewith the CBI if called again and said "theactual truth should come out".

Subsequently Mr Roy, a key organiser ofthe Trinamool Congress, was stripped of thepost of All-India general secretary and otherpositions that he held in his capacity. But hismembership with the party continued.

So far, CBI has filed several chargesheetsin the case indicting Mitra and others includ-ing Saradha owner Sudipto Sen, suspendedTrinamool Rajya Sabha lawmaker KunalGhosh.

Paswan flays...welfare in past one year that the UPA gov-

ernment could do during its decade-long ruleat the Centre (in two terms)," he toldreporters replying to a question.

Paswan's comments came in the backdropof Rahul having raised the farmers' issues inParliament and outside after coming out ofnearly two months' sabbatical last month.

Claiming that NDA government had livedup to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's prom-ise to the farmers to provide them generouscompensation in lieu of crop damages due tonatural calamities, Paswan said the Centrehas already directed giving minimum supportprice for procurement of harvest from them.

In the event of crop damage due to unsea-sonal rains or other vagaries of nature, it hasbeen decided to compensate the farmers byscaling down extent of damage by 33 percent against the earlier 50 per cent, Paswansaid, adding that compensation amount toohas been hiked substantially by one and ahalf times higher than the previous amount.

CPI to ...party's state council meeting here that the

CPI wanted the Land Acquisition Ordinanceto be depromulgated in the interest of farm-ers and masses.

"We are not against industrialisation, butthe way the Centre is promoting it by bring-ing the Land Amendment Bill can't beaccepted. We will hold protest-demonstra-tions across the country on May 14 throughjail bharo movement," he said.

Describing the Land AcquisitionOrdinance as "atrocious and against people",Reddy said his party had also taken up aseries of programmes protesting against theanti-people, pro-rich and pro-corporate poli-cies of the Modi government.

Reddy also slammed the BJP governmentfor giving tax concession to the rich and thecorporate sector.

"The Modi wave is on the wane because ofits pro-rich and pro-corporate anti-peoplepolicies. Instead of rectifying its policies, theModi government is adamant on snatchingland from the poor farmers to satisfy theindustrialists," Reddy said.

Truth vs Hype...the hail drummed on their roof, she felt

sharp pain in her chest. Later it was found tobe a heart attack.

The next morning, her son, Bikram Singh,found almost all of his fields laid to waste,increasing the fragility not just of his moth-er's health, but also of their finances.

Bullo Devi showed us a packet of medi-cines she takes daily; so far she says she hasalready spent Rs. 20,000 on her treatment.

This in addition to almost Rs. 1.5 lakh croploan from a local bank, which Bikram Singhsays he cannot repay.

Two recent weddings in the family havefurther added to the financial strain. "Thatcost another Rs. 3 lakh", she said.

The repeated crop failures have shakenfarm families in Alwar, at the border withHaryana, part of India's grain belt. The sizesof homes - some of them two storeys - trac-tors, electric water pumps, all indicative ofrelative rural prosperity.

And yet, even here, suicides said to becaused by rural distress are being reported -the latest, Manoj Sharma from Alwar, whohung himself two weeks ago.

He was said to have been saddled with aRs. 70,000 loan, and medical expenses forhis disabled daughter.

Politicians and policymakers tend to down-play rural distress, or even the suicides itsometimes cause, blaming it on farmers liv-ing beyond their means. This betrays a lackof understanding of rural economy.

Given the precarious condition of farmingover the past few years caused by freakweather, even ordinary expenses, like healthand weddings become an extravagance. Intimes of distress, they come weighted withrisk.

Rafale Deal...negotiations for the crucial deal."On Monday, he (Drian) will be in Qatar to

sign another Rafale deal. He will be in Indiaduring next week. It will not be for signingthe contract because the agreement is justtwo weeks old, but he will set up negotiationswith India," French Ambassador to India,Francois Richier, told reporters here today.

He was in Goa to participate in the Indo-French Naval exercise which culminatedtoday.

The diplomat said purchase of the aircraftby India, Qatar and Egypt is a testimony tothe importance of fighter planes in thesecountries which are facing a real securitychallenge.

"It is also a recognition that Rafale is thepertinent plane for a country which has a realsecurity challenge. And the fact that it wasrecently purchased by Egypt or Qatar, whichare countries in areas which present strategicchallenges," he said.

Mr Richier, however, did not assign anydeadline for winding up the deal.

"It is always better to be prudent when onespeaks about setting timelines," he said.

"Thanks to the negotiations, we haveworked out a lot of details on the specifics oftechnology. All this is there. All that work isnot lost. It will serve as a basis for negotia-tion of this deal," the ambassador said.

During his visit to France last month, Modihad signed an agreement to buy 36 Rafalefighter jets for over 6 billion dollars.

Mr Richier said France's relations withIndia dates back to 1953 when "Hurricanes"aircraft were supplied to Indian Air Force.

The plane which was later used by the mil-itary to liberate Goa from Portuguese colo-nial rule.

The Union Cabinet’s nod on Wednesday to the 100smart cities project and a new urban renewal mis-sion is an important first step toward dealing with

an old problem that has only got progressively worseover the years: urban liveability. A shade less than a thirdof India’s population now lives in urban areas, over-crowded cities and towns with infrastructure bursting atthe seams. This problem will only worsen with little orno intervention happening. The proportion of the urbanpopulation can only go in one direction — upward — asmore Indians migrate to the cities and towns in search ofjobs. Cities are engines of growth, and as a result attracta lot of people. The country’s urban population con-tributes over 60 per cent of India’s GDP; in 15 years thiswill be 70 per cent. On the other hand, there is littleincentive for people to migrate out of cities. Earlierattempts at providing better urban infrastructure or atcreating new townships have not been able to deal withthe issue of liveability satisfactorily. Even successfulspecial economic zones have had to contend with theissue of lack of social infrastructure, which usuallymeans access to avenues of education, health, arts,sports, and so on. There are numerous definitions of asmart city but the Modi government’s idea of one useful-ly encompasses institutional infrastructure (governance),physical infrastructure, as also social infrastructure. TheCabinet approval marks the first of many steps, as alsothe easiest, that will be required for the project. The chal-lenges start now. Of course there is no doubt that this hascreated tremendous enthusiasm amongst many possiblestakeholders, including service providers who have beenpart of smart city projects elsewhere in the world.Countries such as Japan, Singapore and Germany, amongmany others, have evinced interest to be a part of this.Yet, in its scale and complexity the project will be secondto none. The official estimates of per capita investmentrequirement is Rs.43,386 for a 20-year period, or a totalinvestment of Rs.7 lakh crore. Creating a smart city isn’tjust about creating the physical infrastructure — roads,clean water, power, transport and so on, things Indiafinds difficult to deliver to its citizens nearly sevendecades after Independence. It is hoped that public pri-vate partnerships (PPP) will deliver but the mechanismseems to need a lot of tweaking in order for it to work, afact acknowledged in the recent Budget. The big chal-lenge will be to create self-sustaining cities, which createjobs, use resources wisely and also train people. Thisalso means more autonomy for these cities. Whether thatcan happen is a moot question depending heavily on thematurity of the Indian political system.

BY SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY

The world has come around tothe view that democracy isessential for full human

development. And only educationand skill development can make thispossible. The view of the lateSingapore Prime Minister Lee KuanYew on the one hand, andCommunists on the other, that eco-nomic development must be firstachieved before democracy is possi-ble, has been decisively rejected.But democracy cannot be sustainedunless the electorate is wellinformed, chooses its leadershipwisely, and this leadership is intel-lectually empowered by a multi-dimensional intelligence.

The world view of economicdevelopment has completelychanged: it is no longer believed tobe driven by human labour, as KarlMarx said, or by capital, as AlfredMarshall stated, but is knowledge-driven. For application of knowl-edge, innovations are required, andfor more original research, we needmany more young minds at the fron-tier. Knowledge is gender neutral,and hence the 21st century offers agreat opportunity to level the genderinequity of the last thousand years inIndia.

Educational empowermentThe youth require a a mental fac-

ulty endowed with multi-dimension-al intelligence. It is not adequate tofoster cognitive intelligence alone— as is being done in India’s educa-tional campuses today — but to alsodevelop the other dimensions ofintelligence: emotional, social,moral, spiritual, environmental, andinnovational. India’s vast youth pop-ulation is its demographic potentialdividend, but only if equipped andenabled with this seven dimensionalintelligence.

For decades since Independence, itwas said that India’s demographywas its main liability; that the coun-try’s population was growing toofast, and what it needed most was tocontrol its population, even if by

coercive methods.

I had challenged this view in 1972,arguing that population growth wasnot India’s problem, and that theyouth, if empowered by education,would be an asset, and not a liabili-ty, to the country’s development.(Noted demographer Ashish Bose ofthe University of Delhi had pub-lished in 1972 my research on thisas a chapter in his bookIndia’s Population.)Scientific innova-tions by edu-cated youthcan over-c o m et h e

lim-i t a -tions ofland, natu-ral resourcesand production.

But the negative view ofpopulation prevailed till the‘nasbandi’ (vasectomy) fiasco of theEmergency in 1975-77 forced Indianpoliticians to become less vocalabout the need for coercive familyplanning. Today, India has theworld’s largest youth populationbetween the ages of 15 to 35 — andthis lead will last for another 40years.

I have written this before in thesepages, but this needs reiteration:India should not, therefore, squanderthis “natural resource”. It should,instead, through proper policies forthe young, realise and harvest thisdemographic potential. China is the

second largest world leader today inyoung population. But this will startshrinking in proportion of its totalpopulation from this year because oflagged negative effect of China’sone child policy.

The total populations of Japanand Europe

a r ealready fast ageing,and have started declining inabsolute numbers. The U.S. will,however, hold a steady trend thanksto a liberal policy of immigration.But even then it will have a demo-graphic shortage in skilled person-nel. All developed countries willexperience a demographic deficit.But India will not.

Thus, India has now been gifted,through unintended consequences,with a young population. If theyouth are taught to develop their

cognitive intelligence to becomeoriginal thinkers; imbibe emotionalintelligence to develop team spiritand a rational risk-taking attitude;inculcate moral intelligence to blendtheir personal ambitions withnational goals; cultivate social intel-

ligence to defend civic rights ofthe weak,

defendgender equality, and

develop the courage to fight injus-tice; and develop spiritual intelli-gence, then India can develop asuperior species of human beings —youth who can be relied on to con-tribute to making the country a glob-al power within the next twodecades.

Parameters of education policyThe nation must, therefore, struc-

ture a national education policy forthe youth so that the seven dimen-sions of intelligence can be mani-

fested in every young man andwoman. Only then will the demo-graphic dividend not be wasted.These seven dimensions constitutethe ability of a person to live a pro-ductive life and for the nationalgood. Hence, a policy for India’syouth has to be structured within theimplied parameters of these dimen-sions.

The first parameter ofsuch a policy is abili-

ty empowerment— the devel-

opment oft h e

seven

t y p e sof intelli-

gence. Thesecond is a col-

lective mindsetabout the legacy and

future of the nation, whichmeans knowing the correct de-falsi-fied history of India. The third is thecommitment to a social contract ofrights and obligations such as a fun-damental right to quality primaryand secondary education, right towork, an obligation to compete formost positions of employment onmerit, practice gender equality andplace national interests above selfishinterests.

A national education policy is,therefore, a framework for the com-prehensive growth of the nation’syoung population, to enable themthem to be positioned in life for per-

sonal advancement as well as con-tribute to national greatness. India,however, lacks today a properlystructured policy for development ofits youth. As a result, many youngpeople are led astray by drugs andcrime.

What are the objectives that theyouth should work towards? Thesecannot be purely materialisticbecause we know from our past his-tory that though India was theworld’s most economically devel-oped country, it was subject to brutalassault and loot by a handful of for-eigners, and, for a 1000 years, wecould not rule from Delhi.Materialistic progress alone does notguarantee national security. What isessential is the character and integri-ty of the country’s citizens.

In brief, a national policy for inte-grating spiritual values and organi-sation leadership can be achievedthrough measures by which we cancreate a modern mindset among theyouth. This will not only motivatethem to acquire technical cognitivecompetence, but also develop theiremotional, moral, social, spiritual,environmental and innovationalintelligence. This will make thempatriotic, self-reliant individuals ofhigh character, possessing a socialconscience. Governance, businessethics and organisational leadershiphas to be founded on that pool of tal-ent.

Such an army of evolved youthwill be the asset of the nation.Hence, a well-structured nationalpolicy for development of multipleintelligences is vital for makingIndia global power two decadeshence. This, then, would be a basisfor our national renewal and renais-sance.

BY VAISHNA ROY

When I spoke to Rose Venkatesanseven years ago, she was agraceful woman but traces of

Ramesh still lingered. She had then justbecome famous hosting a Tamil TV show.Today, after surgery, she is all woman, asI see from a dance video online. And sheworks as a part-time soft-skills trainer atIT company Wipro. Rose’s story is uniquein India, not because she is transgenderbut because she is not a sex worker or abeggar, which is what most of the com-munity is identified with.

It was to change this reality that a yearago the Supreme Court recognised trans-sexuals and transgenders as the ‘thirdgender’ in what was hailed as a historicjudgment. Nothing historic, however, hashappened since; even though we are wellpast the six-month deadline the court gavethe government to implement the recom-mendations of its Nalsa judgment.

On April 24, the Rajya Sabha passed aprivate member’s Rights of TransgenderPersons Bill 2014, which will head to theLok Sabha for the final debate and vote.

How have States fared?What it will mean on ground for the

community is less certain. After the Nalsaruling, the Centre sent out notices to theStates to implement five steps: a Centralgrant of Rs.1,000 a month to parents oftransgender children; a Class VII-Xscholarship; a scholarship for higher stud-ies; skills training schemes, and finally, amonthly pension scheme. With theCentre-State contribution set at 75:25,none of these seem particularly challeng-ing, but most States have not implement-ed even one.

Tamil Nadu has possibly done the most:a monthly pension of Rs. 1,000 and sub-sidised bank loans. It was also the firstState to set up a Transgender WelfareBoard, followed by Maharashtra and WestBengal. Karnataka recently announced amonthly pension of Rs. 500, and Biharand West Bengal reservations in govern-ment jobs. A few universities have openedup seats for transgenders.

But this is too little and too vague tohave any real impact. For instance, theSupreme Court, apart from making ‘thirdgender’ a legal option, also made it clearthat ‘transgender’ included people whohad no surgery. But the Ministry ofExternal Affairs still asks for proof of sexreassignment surgery before it allows a

gender change on the passport. Only onetransgender from Mumbai has managed apassport so far. Says transgender activistAbhina Aher: “I am still ‘male’ on mypassport”.

In fact, one of the most significantbreakthroughs of the Nalsa ruling was theright of ‘self-identification’, with verifi-cations allowed only through psychologi-cal assessment and not physical tests. “It’sa huge win,” says Dr. L. Ramakrishnan ofnon-profit Saathii, “because horror storiesabound of how they are groped as part of‘medical’ exams.”

And what happens once identity is

finally established? Says Dr.Ramakrishnan: “People get name andgender officially changed and published.When they return, prospective employersstill reject them.” Ms. Aher agrees, “Theyhear my voice on the phone and say, ‘butyou sound like a man, we cannot rent youa flat.’”

And that is really where all the reformefforts falter. How do you change mind-sets? One of the saddest realities is thatmost families throw their children outwhen any doubts about gender identitysurface. Says Dr. Ramakrishnan, “That iswhy the Rs. 1,000 per month grant to par-ents is vital; it’s motivation to at least notkick the child out.”

It is also why just a scholarship or formssaying ‘third gender’ is not enough. Says

Kalki Subramaniam, founder of SahodariFoundation: “How do you protect thesechildren? They are mocked, bullied, beat-en up; most of them drop out.”

State governments must initiate sensi-tivity training for teachers so that theystop the bullying and, in turn, sensitisestudents. Second, counsellors must visitschools regularly so that gender-confusedchildren have someone to talk to. It is atthe age of 12 or 13 that gender dysphoriafirst surfaces — where a person experi-ences distress because there is a mismatchbetween the biological sex and the genderthey identity with mentally. It’s now that

the children are most vulnerable and needassurance that it is fine to be gender dif-ferent.

When families and governments fail toprovide these security nets, they drivetheir children into conventional hijra (ara-vani) communities that adopt them, butalso perpetuate begging and sex work as away of life. When the young Kalki wouldrun away from school, she would hide ina park, which is where she met Apsara,her aravani ‘mother’.

It is estimated that there are about 4.9lakh transgenders in India today, a num-ber that is likely wildly off the mark,because Census workers are just not qual-ified to ask the right questions. Forinstance, there is practically no recogni-tion of female-to-male transgenders —

“they are dismissed as “modern girls withshort hair,” says Dr. Ramakrishnan.

For about 80 per cent of the community,begging or sex work continues to be themain occupation. This must change. Ms.Kalki mentions Gunavathi, who nowfinally has a job as a health worker in agovernment hospital and earns roughlyRs. 5,000 a month. Many work in activistorganisations. In a video posted byIndiaUnheard, transgender activistGomathi says: “We are not asking for IASjobs, just employ us as attendants orcleaners in hospitals and railways sta-tions.” One project by Tamil Nadu AIDSInitiative saw transgenders working withanganwadis to deliver messages on TBand medical insurance. We need moresuch initiatives.

Ms. Aher says, “ We need jobs throughschemes, reservations, business loans,whatever it takes.”

But are transgenders willing to take onordinary jobs, given that they need to fundexpensive hormone injections at Rs.3,000 a month, and genital realignmentsurgery, vaginoplasty or breast augmenta-tions at Rs. 2-3 lakh each? There are nofacilities for these procedures in India;those who can, fly to Thailand, othersresort to quacks and often die or aremaimed during surgery.

In fact, the need for quick and bigmoney is a big reason why sex work is sotempting. “It’s not that simple,” refutesMs. Aher, “Our vulnerability is high, ourclient list is limited; we face more risks ofviolence or HIV than female sex work-ers.” So, given a shot at a good job, mosttransgenders will take it up, she says.Which brings us right back to the start —education. “Give them the choice. Letthem get skilled, then let them decidewhether they want regular jobs or sexwork,” says Ms. Aher.

It’s a vicious cycle, and no amount of‘welfare’ will help without a sea change inattitude. The Bill just passed in the RajyaSabha cannot do much unless fear, shame,and social stigma are removed and thecommunity is mainstreamed. A transgen-der version of the ‘My Choice’ video onYouTube says, “If you want to help us,just stop treating us like outcastes.”

Have things changed at all, I ask Rose.“A little bit,” she says. “Families mightaccept us a little more quickly; the vio-lence might be less frequent and lessextreme than what I faced.”

India’s urban challenges

The road looks long for third gender

Building a young nation of character

The world view of eco-nomic development has complete-

ly changed: it is no longer believed to bedriven by human labour, as Karl Marx said, or

by capital, as Alfred Marshall stated, but is knowl-edge-driven. For application of knowledge, innova-tions are required, and for more original research,we need many more young minds at the frontier.

Knowledge is gender neutral, and hence the21st century offers a great opportunity to

level the gender inequity of the lastthousand years in India.

What it will mean on ground for the com-munity is less certain. After the Nalsa ruling,the Centre sent out notices to the States to

implement five steps: a Central grant ofRs.1,000 a month to parents of transgender

children; a Class VII-X scholarship; a scholarshipfor higher studies; skills training schemes, and

finally, a monthly pension scheme. With theCentre-State contribution set at 75:25, none ofthese seem particularly challenging, but most

States have not implemented even one.

BHARATPURAt 45 degrees,

Bharatpur's Santruk villageis boiling - a far cry fromthe hailstorms of lastmonth which ate up over80% crops in Rajasthan,placing the state alongsideTelangana andMaharashtra, which regu-larly witnesses suicide byfarmers.

In Santruk, unable tobear the burden of debt,35-year-old farmer Titu Jathanged himself on April

26. He was one of the 11farmers who committedsuicide in Rajasthan so farthis year.

The compensationreceived was next to noth-ing, the farmers say. "Acompensation of Rs. 6500is a joke," said SubedarDevi Singh, a local farmer.

Titu owed more than Rs.3 lakh to the banks and afew more lakhs to privatemoneylenders. Given theharvest, there was no ques-tion of paying back the

amount, say his relatives.He expected to harvest 40quintals of wheat. He gotonly four.

Now Titu's family ofnine - including his wifeand two children -- do notknow wher their next mealwill be coming from. Titu'syounger brother Jitin hadbeen left immobile after anaccident a few years ago,and Titu was the onlybreadwinner of the family.

"We may be forced tobeg," said their mother.

There has been no onefrom the government to lis-ten to them.

Not a single administra-tion official has visited thisvillage so far. The districtmagistrate was not avail-able for comment.

The opposition Congresshas demanded that thecompensation be increasedand the loans waived.Vishwender Singh, thelocal Congress legislatorsaid the government"needs to wake up" to the

plight of farmers.The government which

claims to have paid Rs. 700crore as compensation sofar, says it would be "over-stating the case" to label allrecent suicides a result ofcrop loss.

Around 80% of the fami-lies in Bharatpur aredependent on agriculturefor survival. Not so longago, it was even called thegranary of Rajasthan. Butthe bad times, the farmerssay, are just beginning.

Security Council commit-tee has assured India that itwill take up the issue ofMumbai terror attack mas-termind Zaki-ur RehmanLakhvi at its next meeting,after India expressed con-cern that the LeT comman-der's release from aPakistani jail violates theprovisions of the globalbody.

India's Ambassador tothe UN Asoke Mukerji hadwritten a letter to the Chairof the UNSC Al-QaedaSanctions CommitteeAmbassador Jim McLayexpressing concern overLakhvi's release and said itviolates the provisions ofthe committee concerningal-Qaeda and associatedindividuals and entities.

India also pointed outthat as a listed terrorist,Lakhvi can neither receiveor give money since all hisassets and financialresources have to befrozen. Any bail moneyposted for Lakhvi is also aviolation of the provisions

of the sanctions committeesince he is listed terrorist.

Acknowledging India'sconcerns, Mr McLay hasresponded to India's letterand assured that the matterwill be discussed at thenext meeting of the com-mittee, sources told PTI.

The next meeting of thecommittee is expected totake place in the next fewdays.

The committee had listedLakhvi as a terrorist asso-

ciated with LeT and Al-Qaeda in December 2008for "participating in thefinancing, planning, facili-tating, preparing or perpe-trating of acts of activitiesby, in conjunction with,under the name of, onbehalf or in support of"both entities.

As a listed terrorist,Lakhvi is subject to assetsfreeze, travel ban and anarms embargo.

The committee said that

as chief of operations andmilitary commander of theLeT, Lakhvi has directedits operations, including inIraq and South-East Asia.

"In past years, Lakhvihas played an importantrole in LeT fundraisingactivities, receiving dona-tions from Al-Qaeda affili-ates on behalf of LeT. Hehas also managed a train-ing camp in Afghanistan,"according to the committeewebsite.

The release of Lakhvihad also raised concerns inthe US, UK, Russia,France and Germany withWashington calling for himto be rearrested.

Lakhvi and six others -Abdul Wajid, MazharIqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq,Shahid Jameel Riaz, JamilAhmed and Younis Anjum- have been charged withplanning and executing theMumbai attack inNovember, 2008 that left166 people dead.

Lakhvi, 55, a close rela-tive of LeT founder andJamaat-Ud Dawa (JuD)chief Hafiz Saeed, wasarrested in December 2008and was indicted alongwith the six others onNovember 25, 2009 in con-nection with the 26/11attack case.

The trial has been under-way since 2009.

A Pakistani court had onApril 9 set free Lakhvi, amove which India said"eroded" the value ofassurances repeatedly con-veyed to it by Pakistan oncross-border terrorism.

MALEMaldives police arrested 193

people including three oppositionleaders after clashes broke out onFriday during protests over thejailing of former presidentMohamed Nasheed, whose trialwas condemned by foreign gov-ernments as having been deeplyflawed.

Police said the opposition lead-ers had incited violence against thepolice when addressing the crowdsand that Sheikh Imran Abdulla,who heads the small but influentialIslamic Adhaalath Party, hadorganised the protests to topple thegovernment.

The protests were called todemand the release of MohamedNasheed, the Maldives' first demo-cratically elected president, whowas jailed in March for orderingthe arrest in 2012 of a judge.

During a visit to Colombo, U.S.Secretary of State John Kerrycalled Nasheed's case an injustice.

"We see even now there are trou-

bling signs of democracy underthreat in the Maldives where for-mer president Nasheed has beenprosecuted without due process.That is an injustice that must beaddressed soon."

Police arrested Abdulla, alongwith Ali Waheed, chairperson ofNasheed's Maldivian DemocraticParty, and Ameen Ibrahim, deputy

leader of the Jumhooree Party,officials said. All three remain indetention.

"The president doesn't have anyinterest in arresting oppositionleaders, but no one is above thelaw," Ibrahim Muaz, a spokesmanfor the President's Office, said.

A spokesman for Nasheed'sparty said the protests had been

peaceful and denied its supportershad been violent.

During Friday's protest, policeused tear gas, stun guns and pep-per spray to stop crowds frombreaking through barriers and intoa compound housing the policeheadquarters in capital city Male,in the biggest protest sinceNasheed was jailed.

Several police officers and pro-testers were injured although noneseriously, witnesses said, and moreprotests are expected late onSaturday. All 193 arrestedremained in custody, a police offi-cial said.

The imprisonment of Nasheedtriggered daily protests in theMaldives, a string of tropicalislands that has struggled to embeddemocracy since 30 years ofauthoritarian rule came to an endin 2008.

Nasheed was ousted in disputedcircumstances in 2012. His sup-porters say he was forced out in acoup.

NEW DELHISlamming "ham-handed

enforcement" actionagainst e-commerce majorSnapdeal for online sale ofprescription drugs, formerUnion Minister andCongress leader SachinPilot today said the movegoes against the govern-ment's stated position ofpromoting businesses andhome-grown entrepre-neurs.

Mr Pilot also said thatthe action against Snapdealand its top managementwas "akin to holding high-way builders responsiblefor lane violations," whilethe real perpetrators arefreely peddling drugs ofdubious nature.

The comments from theCongress leader, who wasMinister for CorporateAffairs in the previousUPA government comesafter Maharashtra's Foodand Drug Administration(FDA) filed an FIR againstthe e-retailer's CEO Kunal

Bahl and other top man-agement personnel foralleged online sale of pre-scription drugs on its plat-form.

Mr Pilot, who had voicedconcern in the past duringhis tenure as UnionMinister on arrest ofdirect-selling majorAmway's CEO and othertop executives in India,said it is no one's case thatprescription drugs shouldbe sold in a manner that iscontrary to law.

However, "action ofMaharashtra FDA against

Snapdeal and insinuationsof similar actions againstFlipkart and Amazon mustmake us all sit up and takenotice," he said.

Pilot said that lawenforcement agencies mustbe clear about whom to actagainst and e-commerceportals were merelyenabling platforms forbuyers and sellers.

Mr Pilot said there is aneed to bring out compre-hensive guidelines for e-commerce, that balanceliability with 'safe harbour'provisions.

ACalifornia civil lib-erties grouplaunched a mobile

application on Thursdaythat will let bystandersrecord cell phone videos ofpossible cases of policemisconduct and thenquickly save the footage tothe organisation's comput-er servers.

The California chapter ofthe American CivilLiberties Union said theapp will send the video tothe organisation and pre-serve it even if a phone isseized by police ordestroyed.

The launch of theACLU's "Mobile JusticeCA" app comes as lawenforcement agencies facescrutiny over the use oflethal force, especiallyagainst African-Americans, following sev-eral high-profile deaths ofunarmed black men in

encounters with policeover the last year in theUnited States.

"It's critical that peopleunderstand what is beingdone by police officers,because what is being doneis being done in the nameof the public," said HectorVillagra, executive directorof the ACLU of SouthernCalifornia.

The app is targeted atresidents of the most popu-lous U.S. state, but ACLUchapters have launchedsimilar mobile apps in atleast five other states,including New York,Missouri and Mississippiover the last threeyears.

It also sends an alert toanyone with the app whomight be in the area, givingthem an opportunity to goto the location and observe,the ACLU said.

Villagra said the ACLU,

in looking at which casesto delve into more deeply,will prioritise those thatcome with a written report,which is another elementusers can submit throughthe app. Records of inci-dents from users living inother states will be sent toACLU officials there, he

said.ACLU officials advised

anyone interacting directlywith officers who wants touse the app to announcethey are reaching for aphone, because officersmight mistake the devicefor a weapon.

A representative from the

California Peace OfficersAssociation declined tocomment immediately onthe app.

In the past, advocates forpolice have expressed con-cern that people videotap-ing officers might interferewith their duties in analready tense situation.

Answer: 1(A) 2(D), 3(D), 4(C)

TODAY’S STARARIES Spiritual and metaphysical concepts may seem murky to you

today, Aries. Ideas that friends accept as matters of course mightfeel strange. Don't get into an argument. Ask about books, web-sites, or magazines that you can consult for more input and,hopefully, clarity. Find out about future lectures on the subject. Itshould all come together eventually. You just need to be patient!

TAURUS A strange, bothersome feeling could plague you today, Taurus, as ifyou can't remember something you need to do. Don't drive yourselfcrazy over this. Chances are you haven't forgotten anything but hada rather irritating dream. If you can't seem to shake the idea, try ask-ing your subconscious to pull up the dream. Write it down. Once youknow what it's all about, you will probably feel free again.

GEMINI Is a romantic partner having trouble communicating with family,Gemini? If so, be prepared to hear about it today. Be a good listen-er. Your understanding and objectivity will be greatly appreciated.Your beloved probably isn't seeing the real facts and needs an out-side party to point this out. However, avoid the temptation to patron-ize. You could end up in the same doghouse!

CANCER Listen carefully when you receive instructions today, Cancer. Yourmind may not be as sharp as usual. If you aren't careful, you couldget on the wrong track and end up having to start all over again.Don't be too shy or ashamed to ask questions. It's always better toask a question than make an unnecessary error. Proceed slowly andmethodically and you will get through the day!

LEO A heightened sense of idealized romance could hit you today, Leo. Ifyou aren't currently involved, beware! That wonderful new personyou've just met may have a well-hidden side. If you're currentlyinvolved, expect a simultaneous high from romantic exhilaration andinsecurity that maybe your beloved doesn't love you anymore. Eitherway, try to forget it. You will be more objective tomorrow.

VIRGO Something you feel you desperately need right now is missing,Virgo, and it's very well hidden. You may search the house for itand drive yourself crazy in the process. Do you really need it thatbadly? If so, sit for a moment and try to collect your thoughts. Ifyou can't, leave it for now. You may find it by chance or througha sudden insight. Relax and hang in there!

LIBRA Don't listen to gossip today, Libra. Any rumors that are spread-ing are likely to be based on false assumptions and totally out-side the realm of reality. Yet someone who loves to talk is veryconvincing! Take anything you hear that you can't immediatelyverify with a grain of salt, if not the whole shaker. There's defi-nitely something weird going on. Avoid it!

SCORPIO A luxury you've been craving could seem very tempting today,Scorpio. Make sure you're really ready, willing, and able to spendthe money to get it. Think about it carefully before whipping outyour credit card. Do you really want it that much? Is the expensefeasible right now? If so, go for it. Luxuries aren't always a wasteof money. They can do wonders for your self-esteem!

SAGITTARIUSEmotional turmoil may overwhelm your usual objectivity and goodsense today, Sagittarius. Family problems could weigh on your mind,as communication between you and family members may be lack-ing. You might not feel in touch with what's going on. Try to encour-age them to talk to you. If they won't, move on. Sometimes peoplewant to deal with their troubles on their own. It's their choice.

CAPRICORN Your imagination should fly high today, Capricorn. Whetheryou're into writing, music, or dance, make the most of your cre-ative inspiration. If you don't, your ideas may vanish as soon asthey appear. If you're too busy, at least make time to jot downyour insights and any possibilities for developing them. Then youwill have a record you can return to at a future date.

AQUARIUS Doubts about a friend may plague you today, Aquarius. Did thisperson borrow money? Promise to do you a favor? Can youdepend on this person? The best way to judge is by their trackrecord. If they've been undependable in the past, chances arethey might be again. It might be best for you to turn to someoneelse. Today, at least, your friend is best left in the clouds.

PISCES Confusion might get in the way of anything you hope to accomplishtoday, Pisces. You may feel like you're walking around in a daze,uncertain of your actions. Try to stay focused and be your usual prac-tical, objective self. It might not come as easily for you as it usuallydoes, but you can do it. Have some coffee and make a list of whatneeds to be done. Sometimes that's all it takes.

The Q1 2015 Indianmobile marketreport by

Counterpoint TechnologyMarket Research placesSamsung ahead ofMicromax in smartphoneshipments. The reportadded the smartphone mar-ket in India has registered a21 percent year-over-yearincrease and 8 percentq u a r t e r - o v e r - q u a r t e rincrease in terms of ship-ments in the period.

The overall mobile mar-ket, which includes featurephones as well has droppedby 3 percent YoY and 15percent QoQ. As per thereport, feature phone ship-ments have dropped 13percent YoY and 19 per-cent QoQ. "This is the sec-ond consecutive quarterwhere total mobile phoneshipments in India regis-tered a decline," added thereport.

As per Counterpoint,Samsung once again ledboth the overall mobilephone market and thesmartphone market interms of shipments, with amarket share of 18.2 per-cent and 27.8 percentrespectively. Micromax onthe other hand had a 12.2percent share of overallmobile phone shipments,

and 15.3 percent share ofsmartphone shipments - asteep drop from 14.2 per-cent (28 percent dropQoQ) and 19.5 percent (26percent drop QoQ) in theprevious quarter.

Microsoft was in thirdplace for mobile phoneshipments, at 9.8 percentshare, but not part of thetop five in smartphoneshipments. Intex on theother hand was fourth inoverall mobile phone ship-ments, with a 8.7 percentshare, while it was in thirdplace for smartphone ship-ments, with a 9.4 percentshare. Lava (excludingXolo) rounded off the topfive in terms of mobile

phone shipments, with a8.1 percent share, while ithad the fourth place insmartphone shipments,with a 5.4 percent share.Lenovo (includingMotorola in Q1 2015)claimed the fifth spot insmartphone shipments inthe period, with a 5.2 per-cent share.

As per the firm,Micromax's YuTeleventures subsidiarywould need to launch moremodels in various pricebands to match Xiaomi andMotorola's scale. Theresearch report further-more suggests that whileXiaomi shipmentsdeclined in this quarter, the

Chinese company man-aged to retain a strongpresence in the 4G smart-phone segment with itsRedmi Note 4G and Redmi2 handset. Apple andMicrosoft on the otherhand fared well during thequarter. Notably, MicrosoftLumia shipment rose by 20percent, which also putsIndia alongside Italy,France and other Europeancountries where the Lumiasales are going strong. Thecompany performed wellin the mid-range segmentin India, especially withthe Lumia 535.

Counterpoint notes thatApple's iPhone shipmentsremained strong during the

quarter due to a strongmarketing push, buybacksschemes and more. TheCupertino-based vendor isonly a few thousand unitsshort of achieving a land-mark feat of crossing 1million unit sales in the sixmonths of its fiscal yearsince October 2014 -something the marketresearch firm took almosttwelve months to managein the last fiscal.

Speaking about the stateof mobile manufacturing inIndia, Tarun Pathak, SeniorAnalyst at Counterpoint,said, "There has been sig-nificant push by Indiangovernment for 'Make inIndia', and it seems likealmost every of the top 10mobile phone player hasexpressed their intentionstoward setting up a manu-facturing plant in India.However, we believe thereal 'Make in India' devel-opments are still a good12-18 months away due tothe lack of component sup-pliers' ecosystem. Playerslike Samsung & Micromaxwhich are already assem-bling phones in India arewell positioned to takeadvantage of early movesto local manufacturing ascompared to other play-ers."

MOHALIMumbai Indians kept their

hopes of qualifying for theplay-off alive as they convinc-ingly beat Kings XI Punjab by23 runs in an IPL cricket tour-nament encounter, here onSunday.

After scoring a healthy 172for three in 20 overs, MumbaiIndians restricted an out-of-sorts KXIP for 149 for seven intheir home ground in front ofpacked stands as it may well becurtains for last year's finalists.

Senior pros Lasith Malinga(2/31) and Harbhajan Singh(1/27) led a disciplined bowlingattack and were complementedwell by Mitchell McClenaghan(0/25 in 4 overs) and R VinayKumar (0/17 in 3 overs) whoalso kept the KXIP batsmanunder check.

Once David Miller (43) wassnapped by Rohit Sharma offMalinga in the 17th over, thematch was as good as over forthe KXIP. Miller's 37 ballinnings had three fours and asix.

Murali Vijay (39) also triedhis bit before being holed out

by Unmukt Chand offHarbhajan in the deep.

However it was failure of

Virender Sehwag (2) and GlennMaxwell (12) that hurt KXIPbadly. Sehwag was again done

in by a fuller delivery byMalinga to which he closed hisbat face and Pollard at point

took simplest of catches.Skipper George Bailey also

looked completely out of sorts

during his 18-ball-21 as hestruggled to hit the big shotsand was eventually run-out.

Earlier, a 111-run openingstand between Parthiv Patel(59) and Lendl Simmons (71)ensured a total of 172 for 3 forMumbai Indians after RohitSharma opted to bat againstKXIP.

However MI's total seemed tobe 20 runs short as they man-aged only 76 runs in the back10 after Parthiv and Simmonshad added 96 in the first 10overs.

Top-scorer Simmons' 71came off 56 balls that includednine boundaries and a six. Hefell in the last over when AxarPatel caught him in the deep offAnureet Singh's bowling.

Parthiv provided the initialimpetus to the innings battingfreely. His knock of 59 came injust 36 balls with five bound-aries and three big sixes.

Leg spinner Karanveer Singhgave KXIP first breakthroughto Punjab when he had Patelcaught by Murali Vijay in the13th over.

At the onset, Simmons made

the team's intentions clear whenhe hit two consecutive bound-aries in the innings' first overbowled by Sandeep Sharma.

Both the openers cut looseand hammered the KXIPbowlers at will. With pacerMitchell Johnson struggling inthis edition, he proved costly inhis very first over giving away18 runs, with Parthiv hittinghim for a six and two bound-aries of the Aussie.

The former India glovesmanlooked more aggressive of theopening duo, with West IndianSimmons playing the role of ananchor. However, when theleft-hander departed, he hitsome lusty blows including astraight six over the bowlerAxar Patel's head.

KXIP skipper George Baileyused as many as seven bowlersincluding Murali Vijay. Thehosts also had a few slip-ups inthe field that included adropped catch by Sehwag offRohit Sharma when he was bat-ting on 22, even though theMumbai skipper later fell soonadding just four more runs tohis individual score.

IPL 8: Mumbai Indians Beat Kings XIPunjab, Keep Hopes of Play-Offs Alive

MUMBAIAjinkya Rahane (91 in 54

balls) and Karun Nair (61 from38 balls) helped RajasthanRoyals (RR) register their sixthwin of the season, beating DelhiDaredevils (DD) by 14 runs inthe Indian Premier League (IPL)2015 encounter at the BrabourneStadium here on Sunday.

Riding on a 113-run partner-ship by Rahane and Nair for thesecond wicket, Royals posted achallenging 189/2 in 20 overs.

In reply, Daredevils were neverclose to matching the skills dis-played by Royals and eventuallyended their innings at 175/7 in 20overs. Skipper J.P. Duminy wasthe top scorer for Daredevils with56 runs off 39 balls.

With the defeat, Delhi sufferedtheir fifth loss in the tournament.

Earlier losing the toss and putinto bat, Rajasthan got off to amodest start, with openersRahane and Shane Watson takingtime to get settled in the middle.

But with couple of oversbowled, they took on theDaredevils bowling piling upteam's first fifty in just 6.2 overs.

But as skipper Watson waslooking to get settled, a surpris-ing delivery by Angelo Mathewsgot him caught by the wicket-keeper for 21 off 24 balls.

His wicket didn't put the brakeson the scoring as Rahane took thereins from there on to strike theball to all parts of the park.

Incoming batsman, Nair tooheld on quite easily to give goodcompany to Rahane.

The duo took advantage ofsome poor fielding by the visitorsto put 100 runs on the board inthe 14th over. Rahane struck ninefours and three sixes, whereas hispartner Nair hit six boundariesand two sixes.

The duo brought up their 100-

run partnership for the secondwicket in just 63 balls.

With his splendid innings,Rahane replaced SunrisersHyderabad skipper David Warnerin the IPL 2015 leading run scor-ers list with 430 runs.

Daredevils dropped threecatches in the innings. GurinderSandhu and Saurabh Tiwarydropped Rahane and Nair respec-

tively and later on Amit Mishraand Zaheer Khan collided anddropped Rahane.

For Delhi, Mathews was thepick of the bowlers, picking upone wicket and finishing withfigures of 4-0-27-1 but otherbowlers - Zaheer Khan, NathanCoulter-Nile, Amit Mishra,Gurwinder Sandhu - all leakedheavy runs.

Chasing a challenging score of189, Delhi got off to a worst pos-sible start with losing both theopeners - Mayank Agarwal (11)and Shreyas Iyer (9) - within fiveovers.

Incoming batsman YuvrajSingh too didn't last long, scoringjust 22 off 18 balls. AngeloMathews (16) and Kedar Jadav(11) also departed in space of twoovers.

This made it more difficult forDaredevils to chase the huge tar-get. Skipper Duminy tried hisbest, but looking to up the scor-ing rate, was caught by DhawalKulkarni off the bowling ofJames Faulkner.

With the dismissal of Duminyit looked all over for Delhi aswickets fell in clusters.

For Rajasthan, James Faulknerwas the pick of the bowlers pick-ing up two wickets and finishingwith figures of 4-0-22-2. ShaneWatson finished with 4-1-25-1.Dhawal Kulkarni went for runsbut picked up two wickets. StuartBinny also picked two wickets inhis two overs.

Brief Score: Rajasthan Royals189/2 in 20 overs (AjinkyaRahane 91 not out, Karun Nair61; Angelo Mathews 1/27,Nathan Coulter-Nile 1/38) beatDelhi Daredevils 111/2 in 20overs (JP Duminy 56; JamesFaulkner 2/22, Stuart Binny 2/27,Dhawal Kulkarni 2/43, ShaneWatson 1/25)

NEW DELHIFormer Pakistan batsman and

current commentator RameezRaja has labelled the country'sslide to their lowest-ever One-DayInternational (ODI) rankings as an"embarrassment" and insisted thatthe country needs a revamp of itscricket structure.

Pakistan dropped to ninth in therankings following a 0-3 serieswhitewash by Bangladesh and areat risk of missing the nextChampions Trophy, to be held inEngland in 2017, if they fail to liftthemselves back into the top eightbefore the September 30 qualifica-tion deadline.

"It is a testament to how over theyears the team and the systemhave refused to evolve and pro-duce worthwhile talent to arrestthe slide," Raja toldcricket.com.au on Sunday.

"It is an embarrassing andalarming situation to see Pakistangetting dropped to number nine inthe ODI rankings. I can't imagine

Pakistan missing the next ICCChampions Trophy. It will be amassive low."

Pakistan are yet to win an ODIseries in nearly 16 months.

Raja said wholesale changeswere needed in the country tobring back the past glory foer the1992 World champions.

"It is a mix of twisted domesticstructure, the academy’s poor per-formance and the non-existence ofschool cricket that Pakistan hasslid from number two to nine inthe rankings in the space of adecade," he said.

"Pakistan is still playing 1980sand 1990s style of one-day cricketwith wickets in hand at theexpense of a competitive battingrun rate.

Pakistan players, coaches andmanagement require a change instrategy where they follow a fear-less approach towards game. Theyalso need to be aggressive in theselection matters," heopined.

This might sound likecommon scents: butthe aroma of break-

fast is a man's favouritesmell, while for women itis a newborn baby, accord-ing to the latest research.

And another surveyclaims you can tell where agirl is from by her choiceof perfume. Here's a list ofinteresting facts about oursense of smell.

- You can smell as freshas a daisy every month andyour scent cells arerenewed every 28 days, soevery four weeks you get anew "nose".

- Smell is the most sensi-tive of the senses. Peoplecan remember smells with65 per cent accuracy after ayear, while visual recall isabout 50 per cent afterthree months. Studies showthat 75% of emotions aretriggered by smell which islinked to pleasure, well-being, emotion and memo-

ry - handy when you wantpeople to buy your prod-ucts. One of the mostevocative smells fromchildhood is crayons.

- The sense of smell getsbored easily. When enter-

ing a bakery or florist youare very aware of thearoma but by the time youreach the check-out youwill no longer be able tosmell the different aromasaround you.

- The sense of smell isthe first of all our senses todevelop. Even before weare born, our sense of smellis fully formed and func-tioning.

- A woman's sense of

smell is much strongerthan a man's. It is height-ened even more in the firsthalf of the menstrual cycleand reaches its peak whenshe is most fertile.

- The sense of smellpeaks when we are in ourlate teens and begins agradual decline. Peoplewho have an impaired abil-ity to smell, and thereforetaste, tend to follow dietsthat are less healthy.

- You can smell thingsbetter in the spring andsummer, due to the addi-tional moisture in the air.For the same reason, it isalso stronger after exercise,which also increases themoisture in the nasal pas-sage.

- Humans have five tosix million odour detectingcells but that is nothingcompared to the animalkingdom. Rabbits have 100million and a dog 220 mil-lion.

- Forget fingerprints orCCTV, perspiration couldbe the big thing for crimebusting in future. Israelichemists say the food weeat, drugs we take, genderand even state of mind, allcombine to make each per-son's sweat unique. DrMichael Gozin, of Tel AvivUniversity's School ofChemistry, and his teamare breaking down thecomponents of humansweat as a new kind of ID,saying each person has hisor her own chemical fin-gerprint.

- While humans eachhave a favourite smell, sodo animals. Lions like thesmell of mint and camelslike tobacco.

- As it turns out, thephrase wake up and smellthe coffee is more true thanyou would imagine. Whenyou are asleep, your senseof smell shuts down. Youcan smell only the coffeeafter you have woken up.
