I’ve at least 3-4 years left in the ring: Mary Kom mulls turning pro next year

[ad_1]
Kolkata: Indian boxing superstar MC Mary Kom, who is recovering from an ACL tear surgery, has not given up hope of returning to the ring and said she still has at least three-four years in which she can make a pro career.
Mary Kom, who was heading the oversight committee enquiring into sexual harassment charges against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, remained silent on the ongoing controversy.
Having failed in her attempt to win a second Olympic medal in Tokyo 2020, the six-time world champion sustained a grade-III tear on the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during the 2022 Commonwealth Games trials in June last year.

“(The) Injury is much better now. I can walk, run, though not on hard surface. I just started running on (a) tread mill,” Mary Kom told reporters after she was awarded the PC Chandra Puraskaar 2023 here.
“I’m pushing myself. After one month, I’ll be fully fit and recovered. I’ll be ready to fight in the ring in two months’ time,” she said.
Asked whether she will compete at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, Mary Kom said, “This year I’ve a chance to compete in any competition. Next year by force, I’m not eligible.”
Her quest for a second Olympic medal is over as she will turn 40 in November and hence won’t be eligible to compete thereafter in any international championship, including the 2024 Paris Olympics.
‘Nobody can stop me from fighting’

Mary Kom, however, said that while rules can stop her from competing in another Olympics, “nobody can stop me from fighting”.
“By force I’m not eligible to fight in the Olympics because of the age limit. I’m very sorry for that. But I want to continue, keep fighting for another three-four years. I still have that confidence and willpower.
“I’m thinking, I can also become a pro. I’ve that confidence. Nobody can stop me from fighting.”
The boxing legend underwent surgery at a Mumbai hospital in August last year.
Terming it as the worst phase of her career, Mary Kom said she would have preferred “death” to the painful phase.
“It was so painful… I didn’t expect this injury. It was bad luck. It wasn’t a minor injury, but a major grade-III ACL tear. People said I won’t be able to run again, forget (about) fighting. Six months after the operation, there was still unbearable pain that (I) preferred death.
“In my life, I’ve struggled a lot, did hard work… so much that I never cried and took all the pain. But this (recovery) was unbearable. Only once before in my life, I had cried when I had lost my passport and then I attempted suicide, as I did not have the money to apply for a fresh passport,” she recalled.
India made history earlier this year, winning four gold medals (Nitu Ghanghas, Nikhat Zareen, Lovlina Borgohain and Saweety Boora) at the Women’s World Boxing Championships.
In 2006, the quartet of Mary Kom, Sarita Devi, Jenny Lalremliani and Lekha KC had achieved the feat for the first time.
Stay grounded: Mary tells Nikhat and Co
Urging them to stay grounded, Mary Kom said, “Nowadays, whenever one becomes a champion, arrogance, attitude and indiscipline creep in because of money and fame.
“They (boxers) have to guard against it. My uniqueness is that I always love everyone and care for everyone. I’m blessed, which is why I am here. They (young boxers) have to be guided well.”
Asked about India’s medal chances in Paris, Mary Kom said, “Their fate is in their hands. The federation is doing its best. They (boxers) are not lacking anything, everything is being provided. Now, it’s all in the hands of the boxers… how many of them qualify and win medals in Paris.”
Asked about Nikhat, Mary said, “She has been doing well. I just want her to keep doing well and become responsible. There’s a lot of stress, pressure at this level. If, she (Nikhat) handles the pressure well, she will do better. If she’s unable to handle pressure, she will falter. You have to guide them in a proper way.”

Congress MP mulls resignation over Rahul’s LS disqualification

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Congress’ Lok Sabha MP from Tamil Nadu, Manickam Tagore, on Sunday hinted towards resigning as a member of the Lower House of Parliament, saying he is in pain after “his leader Rahul Gandhi was disqualified”.
“The Honourable Speaker disqualified my leader Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha. I had seen him off on Friday minutes before his disqualification. Rahul Gandhi, who gave me the opportunity to enter Lok Sabha in 2009, won’t be there. Why do I have to be there? I am pained for the injustice to him,” Tagore, who represents Tamil Nadu’s Virudhnagar constituency, wrote on Twitter.
Tagore is said to be a close aide of Rahul Gandhi. He is the party-in charge of Goa.
Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha after a court in Gujarat convicted him in a defamation case.
The Surat district court in Gujarat on Thursday convicted Rahul Gandhi in a criminal defamation case against him over his alleged ‘Modi surname’ remark in 2019.
The former Congress president was convicted under Indian Penal Code sections 499 and 500. The maximum possible punishment under this section is two years.
Bharatiya Janata Party legislator and former Gujarat Minister Purnesh Modi had filed the case against Rahul Gandhi for his alleged “how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname…” remark.

KU Mulls Partnership With JK Bank To Facilitate Student Training Under NEP-2020

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: A team of senior academics from the University of Kashmir on Friday held detailed deliberations with top-level management of the JK Bank to develop a close linkage with the corporate sector for providing hands-on training to the varsity’s students.
Speaking about the objectives of the developing such linkages, Vice-Chancellor KU Prof Nilofer Khan said the National Education Policy-2020 envisages students to be trained to tackle the real world problems and get exposed to working environments outside the University system.
“The NEP emphasises that students will have to work in the field as part of requirement for completion of their degrees. Such linkages with corporate institutions like JK Bank are therefore very significant,” she said.
The KU team, which held the marathon deliberations at the JK Bank’s Corporate Headquarters in Srinagar, was led by Dean of Academic Affairs Prof Farooq A Masoodi, and included Prof S Mufeed Ahmad from Department of Management Studies, Prof Aneesa Shafi, Dean of Students’ Welfare and Prof Bikram Singh Bali from Department of Earth Sciences.
Giving details about the interactive session, Prof Masoodi said that a joint committee is being constituted to identify areas for mutual cooperation between the two institutions. He said the University of Kashmir proposed to offer some management development programmes (MDPs) for bank officers, besides providing its assistance in project evaluation, monitoring and field surveys.
He said the University expects the bank to provide internship facilities to the varsity students in relevant areas of study.
The management of the bank was represented by Mr Syed Rais Maqbool, Mr Syed Shafat Rufai, Mr Imtiyaz Ahmad Bhat, Mr Shabir A Bhat and Mr Syed Arshid Qadri.
The Bank officers desired periodical meetings with the University to make the linkages more productive.

Democrats draw ‘red line’ around Medicaid as GOP mulls cuts

[ad_1]

“No one’s interested in doing anything other than saving it to make it more solvent for those that might need it down the road,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) told POLITICO. “If you want to save [Medicaid] for future generations, it’s never too early to look at how to do that.”
Biden, who is expected to release his budget on Thursday, has spent much of the year castigating Republicans for proposals to cut Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act part of a broader effort to paint the GOP as a threat to popular health programs. Though Democrats, who control the Senate, will almost certainly reject big cuts to Medicaid, Republicans’ desire to rein in federal spending portends a drawn out political fight over a program that now insures more than one-in-four Americans.
Republican House and Senate leadership have been adamant that they will not cut those two entitlement programs, but have said less about Medicaid, which insures more than 90 million Americans. That number swelled during the Covid-19 pandemic, when states were barred from removing people who were no longer eligible.
Asked if assurances by GOP leaders that Medicare and Social Security are off the table have put more pressure on lawmakers to find savings in Medicaid, Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) quipped: “It doesn’t take much imagination to figure that out.”
Some Republicans want to revive a 2017 plan to phase out the enhanced federal match for Medicaid and cap spending for the program — an approach the Congressional Budget Office estimated would save $880 billion over 10 years and increase the number of uninsured people by 21 million.
“If you remember back to the American Health Care Act, we proposed that we make some significant changes to Medicaid. I think you’re gonna find that some of those same ideas are going to be revisited,” said Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), a member of the House Budget Committee and the conservative Republican Study Committee, a group now working on its own budget proposal to pitch to GOP leadership.
Carter added that there is also interest in the caucus in abolishing Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion, arguing that the majority of states that have opted to expand the program over the last decade might have “buyer’s remorse.”
“Medicaid was always intended for the aged, blind and disabled — for the least in our society, who need help the most,” he said. “Trying to get back to that would probably be beneficial.”

Carter and many other Republicans are also pushing for Medicaid work requirements, though the one state that implemented them saw thousands of people who should have qualified lose coverage.
“For the people who are on traditional Medicaid — the pregnant, children and disabled — there’s no sense in talking about work requirements,” Burgess said. “But for the expansion population, able-bodied adults who were wrapped in under the Affordable Care Act, yeah, that has to be part of the discussion.”
Other Republicans want to make narrower reforms. Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.), who chairs the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Health Subcommittee, is looking at changes to value-based payments in Medicaid so that states aren’t “on the hook for treatments that don’t work.” Still others are weighing potential changes to areas within Medicaid, including provider taxes and how to handle coverage for people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
The GOP members are spurred on by outside conservative groups like the Paragon Institute, which has been holding monthly briefings for Capitol Hill aides and backchanneling with members.
“If you look at what’s driving the debt, it’s federal health programs,” Brian Blase, the president of Paragon, who worked at the White House’s National Economic Council under the Trump administration, told POLITICO. “Either Congress will reform federal health programs or there will be a massive tax increase on the middle class.”
Democrats, for their part, are working to make any proposal to cut Medicaid as politically risky for Republicans as threats to Medicare.
“I worry that my Republican colleagues have, I guess, heard from the public about their desire to cut Social Security and Medicare [and] are looking elsewhere, and obviously poor people have very little representation in Congress, so that’s an easy target,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who chairs the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee.
Democrats hoping to shield Medicaid in the upcoming budget negotiations are emphasizing how many red states have voted to expand the program since Republicans last took a run at it in 2017. They’re also stressing that the people covered by Medicaid aren’t solely low-income parents and children.
“Right now at least 50 percent of Medicaid goes to seniors, and a lot of that is for nursing home care,” Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), the top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, told reporters. “People don’t realize that Medicaid is the ultimate payer for nursing home care once you run out of money or once your Medicare runs out.”
In a speech in late February, President Joe Biden excoriated Republicans for pushing deep cuts to Medicaid, arguing that doing so would threaten the finances of rural hospitals that are barely able to keep their doors open today.
“Many places throughout the Midwest, you have to drive 30, 40 miles to get to a hospital. By that time, you’re dead,” he said. “Entire communities depend on these hospitals. Not getting Medicaid would shut many of them down.”
Two people familiar with White House plans tell POLITICO that Biden is expected to include a federal expansion of Medicaid in the remaining holdout states in the budget he will submit to Congress later this week.

UK mulls immigration curbs on foreign student families

[ad_1]
London: International students are likely to be restricted from bringing their spouses and children to the UK unless they study “high-value” degrees under government plans.
According to The Times, foreign students granted visas to study science, mathematics, and engineering can relocate to the UK with dependants.
A near-eightfold rise in the number of family members joining foreign students has left Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Suella Braverman worried.
According to new immigration figures, 490,763 students were given visas last year.
They were accompanied by 135,788 dependants — spouses and children — up from 16,047 in 2019.
Of these, India became the largest source of students with 161,000 students, including 33,240 dependents, coming to the UK last year.
Asylum backlog hit a record high, with more than 160,000 migrants waiting for decisions on their applications, the report said.
The government is yet to make a final decision on the contentious matter.

Braverman has drawn up proposals to reduce the number, which includes shortening the duration foreign students can stay in Britain post their course.
However, according to the Department of Education, the restrictions will bankrupt UK universities, which depend on foreign students for money.
According to estimates, international students add 35 billion pounds a year to the economy.
According to UK-based New Way Consultancy, foreign students and their dependents contributed to the UK economy not just through fees of 10,000 pounds to 26,000 pounds but also via an NHS surcharge of 400 pounds a year for the student and 600 pounds for a dependent.
It warned that curbs on graduate work visas will force Indian students to shift to countries like Australia and Canada, ultimately leading to the end of the student market in the UK.
More than 45,000 people crossed the Channel to the UK in small boats over the past year, according to government figures, with 90 crossing on Christmas Day alone.

White House mulls post-Covid emergency backstop for uninsured

[ad_1]

“We know that the end of the [Covid public health emergency] is not the end of our work on Covid,” said one senior administration official, who was granted anonymity to discuss the ongoing deliberations. “It remains a public health priority, and a lot of people will still need these treatments.”
Biden health officials are preparing to unravel a sprawling set of pandemic policies over the next several months, as the administration ends the public health emergency on May 11 and moves toward managing the virus as a long-term disease.
For a White House that has made vaccines and treatments the centerpiece of its pandemic response, preserving widespread access to those tools will rank among the most pressing political and policy challenges.
The administration doesn’t plan to shift responsibility for vaccines and treatments to the private market until late summer at the earliest, giving it time beyond the May expiration of the public health emergency to navigate the handover. Even then, most people would still be able to get shots and treatments through private health insurers or federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid that would be newly responsible for negotiating their own supply deals with Covid drugmakers. A separate pre-existing federal program would continue providing free vaccinations for uninsured children.
But for the roughly 30 million adults without coverage, the changeover means they could be forced to pay out of pocket for drugs that can cost hundreds of dollars per dose — raising concerns among health experts that those most in need of pandemic care will soon be least able to afford it.
“Figuring out a way to ensure that cost is not the barrier for people to access vaccines, tests and treatments is essential,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University. “We have seen throughout this pandemic that income is one of the most important determinants of who has been able to protect themselves and who hasn’t.”
Joe Biden championed the rollout of hundreds of millions of free Covid shots as a hallmark accomplishment of his presidency that allowed people to resume their everyday lives. The availability of treatments, he has said, marked another major step in his administration’s efforts to minimize the public health threat.
“We have broken Covid’s grip on us,” Biden said during his State of the Union address last week. “We’ve saved millions of lives and opened our country back up.”

Wary of allowing the virus to flare up again, the Biden administration has lobbied Congress to create a “Vaccines for Adults” program that would permanently keep Covid shots free for everyone. But there’s little expectation the idea will gain traction with Republicans in control of the House, prompting concerns among public health officials and consumer advocates over how the administration plans to fill the gap.
“They definitely understand that we’re going back to our longstanding so-called medical care system that leaves a lot of people in the lurch,” said Marcus Plescia, chief medical officer for the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. “But nobody’s heard a definitive plan.”
The Department of Health and Human Services has pledged to take care of the uninsured, though it’s so far offered few specifics. The department has instead focused first on preparing the health industry and consumer groups for the official end of the health emergency, health officials said, with plans to roll out more details on commercialization as that process is finalized in the coming months.
But behind the scenes, health officials have accelerated work on a plan to redirect leftover funds and supplies into a temporary program focused solely on getting vaccines, tests and treatments to the uninsured.
The plan is in its early stages, and the people with knowledge of the matter cautioned that several elements could still change. But under the emerging post-commercialization blueprint, the administration would seek to keep Covid care free for uninsured adults through the end of the year and potentially into the summer of 2024.
Health officials have explored extending a partnership with pharmacies to provide no-cost Covid testing into 2024, as well distributing tests from its own federal stockpile to places like homeless shelters, food banks and community centers most likely to work with the uninsured.
Officials also estimate that they can keep enough of the government’s existing supply of the antiviral Paxlovid on hand to cover the uninsured population for months after coverage shifts to the private market for others.
As for vaccines, the administration has discussed setting aside enough money to purchase a small number of doses in the fall, when drugmakers are expected to update their vaccines and the government anticipates handing off distribution responsibilities to the private sector.
That new stockpile could be fewer than 10 million doses, the people with knowledge of the matter said, based on the expectation that demand for Covid boosters will remain low. Fewer than 20 percent of American adults have received the latest booster, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a figure that officials estimate is even lower among an uninsured population that skews younger.
The administration is still sorting out several logistical questions, including how much of its network of pharmacies, health centers, local health departments and other community sites it can use to continue distributing vaccines and treatments after commercialization.
Overall, the program will also be sharply limited by Congress’ yearlong refusal to fund the Covid response. The administration has less than $1 billion left over to put toward its uninsured plan, meaning costs could ultimately determine how long the federal aid can last.
But the hope is that the plan would provide a temporary bridge, giving the administration more time to make the case for additional funding — and in the process, fending off concerns that a White House that pledged to prioritize equity in its pandemic might end up leaving the most vulnerable behind.
“There can be no surprises here,” the senior administration official said, acknowledging the stakes for the millions of uninsured and Biden’s own Covid legacy. “And we are working to have no surprises.”

UK mulls allowing foreign students to work for longer hours

[ad_1]
London: International students, including Indians, in the UK, are likely to be allowed to work for longer hours and take up more part-time jobs to plug labor shortages in various sectors across the country, according to a report.
Presently, foreign students in the UK, who number around 6,80,000, are allowed to work for a maximum of 20 hours a week during term time.
However, discussions have begun within the government to raise this cap to 30 hours or remove it entirely in a bid to boost its economy, The Times reported.
International students made up 476,000 of the 1.1 million migrants who arrived in the country last year.
Of these, India became the largest source of students with 161,000 students, including 33,240 dependents, coming to the UK last year.
There are 1.3 million empty posts, almost half a million more than before the pandemic, and according to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, “businesses are crying out for workers”.
Government sources told The Times that lifting the cap on foreign students’ hours was “part of a swathe of ideas being considered”, adding that the idea is at a nascent stage.
But what could put a spanner in the works is Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s plans to reduce the number of foreign students coming to the country.

With the net migration numbers rising to an estimated record of 504,000 last year, Braverman has drawn up proposals to reduce the number, which includes shortening the duration foreign students can stay in Britain post their course.
Curbs are also being considered on the number of dependents allowed into the UK and restricting foreign students from attending “low-quality” courses.
However, according to the Department of Education, the restrictions will bankrupt UK universities, which depend on foreign students for money.
According to UK-based New Way Consultancy, foreign students and their dependents contributed to the UK economy not just through fees of 10,000 pounds to 26,000 pounds but also via an NHS surcharge of 400 pounds a year for the student and 600 pounds for a dependent.
