  • With Banga nomination, top World Bank positions to held by Sikhs

    With Banga nomination, top World Bank positions to held by Sikhs

    [ad_1]

    Washington: With US President Joe Biden nominating Ajay Banga, the former Indian American head of Mastercard, to head the World Bank, the top posts in the global financial institution will be held by Sikhs.

    Before Banga, who is slated to take up job – which, by convention, been reserved for a US citizen – this May, the World Bank already has a Sikh in a top post, with Indermit Singh Gill its Chief Economist.

    He is primarily known for pioneering the concept of the “middle-income trap” to describe how countries stagnate after reaching a certain level of income.

    Gill, an Indian citizen, studied at St Paul’s School, Darjeeling and St. Stephen’s College, Delhi – where he was probably just a year (or perhaps two) junior to Banga.

    Like Banga, Gill is also the son of a senior Indian Army officer.

    Before taking over as Chief Economist on September 1, 2022, Gill served as the World Bank’s Vice President for Equitable Growth, Finance, and Institutions, where he played a key role in shaping its response to the extraordinary series of shocks that have hit developing economies since 2020. Between 2016 and 2021, he was a professor of public policy at Duke University and a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Global Economy and Development program.

    Widely regarded for his contributions to development economics, Gill spearheaded the influential 2009 World Development Report on economic geography, as per his World Bank profile. He has published extensively on key policy issues facing developing countries among other things, sovereign debt vulnerabilities, green growth and natural-resource wealth, labour markets, and poverty and inequality.

    Gill has also taught at Georgetown University and the University of Chicago. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago

    Biden’s nomination of Banga follows his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama nominating Korean-American ‘Jim’ Yong Kim for World Bank chief to ensure that the World Bank is headed by someone with a developing-country background

    Biden was then Vice President.

    If confirmed by the World Bank Board, Bang will be the first person of Indian descent to head the World Bank. He will succeed David Malpass, who was appointed to head the bank by then President Donald Trump.

    “After some time, he introduced himself as an Air Force gazetted Officer (Flying Lieutenant) and defrauded her of Rs 12 lakh in the name of a job in the Indian Air Force. The man, Kamal, also sent a letter for medical examination and letter of appointment to the complainant via WhatsApp and mail,” Deputy Commissioner of Police, Outer North, Ravi Kumar Singh, said.

    “But later on, after a long time when she had lost her hope to have a job in IAF, she started requesting her money back from the accused but in vain. Thereafter she got a complaint lodged. After a preliminary enquiry, an FIR was registered in the matter and investigation was taken up,” he said.

    During the investigation, a police team tasked with investigation collected WhatsApp chat history screenshots, mail id details, bank and UPI transactions history.

    “Sharma used to communicate to the complainant only via WhatsApp calls and chats. The details were sought from WhatsApp, Banks and Wallets. On the technical leads, the accused was traced out at Bengaluru in a hotel with a fake Identity Card of Flying Lieutenant and three smartphones,” said the DCP.

    He was arrested and he was brought to Delhi after obtaining transit remand.

    “Raids were conducted at Sharma’s rented accommodations at Chhatarpur and police recovered an IAF uniform (with name plate, ranks, badges, caps), air pistol gun with five bullets, different stamps, IAF letterheads, call letters, IAF family dependent card and other incriminating documents,” said the DCP.

    The DCP further said that Sharma is a habitual offender and three FIRs are also registered against him in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

    Sharma was well versed with the internal information of the IAF and using it to defraud people in the name of a lucrative career in the service.

    Police investigation done so far has revealed that he had defrauded candidates from different cities like Bengalurue, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmadabad, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Panaji, Kochi, Bidar, Patna, Jammu, and Belgaum.

    “He used to meet people in IAF uniform in order to influence them,” said the official, adding that investigation of the case is in progress.
