Cabinet approves setting up of 157 new nursing colleges

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved setting up of 157 new nursing colleges in co-location with the existing medical colleges, established since 2014.
This will add approximately 15,700 nursing graduates every year, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya told media persons after the cabinet meeting.
It will further ensure quality, affordable, and equitable nursing education in India, particularly in underserved districts and states, he added.

The total financial implication of the project will be Rs 1,570 crore.
The Central government will give Rs 10 crore for setting up of these colleges, while the states can invest the remaining amount, which will depend as per the project report to be prepared for each college, Mandaviya said.
Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh are among the major states, which will get 20-odd nursing colleges under the initiative, he added.
The initiative aims to address the geographical and rural-urban imbalances in the healthcare sector, which have led to the skewed availability of nursing professionals and impacted healthcare services in underserved areas, the minister said.
The establishment of these nursing colleges will provide a significant boost to the availability of qualified human resources in healthcare.

Co-location of these nursing colleges with existing medical colleges will allow optimal utilisation of the existing infrastructure, skill labs, clinical facilities, and faculty.

NTA, not KU, exam conducting authority for NET; ‘Varsity has nothing to do with setting of papers’: Varsity Spokesperson

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Apr 16 (GNS): The University of Kashmir said on Sunday that it completely dissociates itself from allegations leveled by some students regarding alleged paper leak of Kashmiri subjects in the National Eligibility Test (NET).
A KU spokesperson said in a statement to GNS that the NET is conducted by the National Testing Agency, and not the University of Kashmir, and hence all the examination-related domains including confidential setting of question papers, conduct of examination and evaluation etc. fall solely within the jurisdiction of the conducting authority.
The University, the spokesperson said, strongly condemns that its name is being dragged into the alleged paper leak claim when the University, as an institution, is not even remotely connected with the process.
“We inform one and all to refrain from trying to harm the reputation of the University with baseless claims and allegations. The University reserves the right to take appropriate legal recourse in such situations since it concerns the institution’s reputation and prestige,” the spokesperson said. (GNS)

In A First, KU To Evolve ‘New Model’ For Setting Of Question Papers

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: In a first of its kind initiative that aims to further ease the varsity’s postgraduate and undergraduate examinees, the University of Kashmir has started the process of framing new guidelines for setting of question papers to bring about greater clarity in the content and better conceptualisation of questions.
Vice-Chancellor Prof Nilofer Khan has given her go-ahead to a proposal mooted by the Controller of Examinations to constitute a broad-based committee of academics from the main and satellite campuses to formulate a policy document on setting of question papers for various UG and PG examinations.
The larger idea, according to officials, is to have the question papers set strictly in accordance with the syllabus and have their language and content enriched for easy comprehension by the examinees.
“Setting a question paper involves more than merely asking questions. It is important to see how rich a question paper is conceptually and whether its standard is good enough to evaluate a student holistically. Additionally, it is also about ensuring that the academic level of students is kept in mind while framing the questions,” Controller of Examinations, KU, Dr Majid Zaman, said.
He said the committee is also mandated with framing a proper set of instructions for paper setters, including use of proper vocabulary and punctuation marks, appropriate assembling and ordering of the questions, besides spelling out clear instructions for the examinees.
“Sometimes a comma can change the whole dynamics of a particular question. We want to ensure that students do not have to find themselves caught up in a situation where they need more clarifications regarding questions in the examination hall,” Dr Majid said.
Added emphasis is being laid on ensuring that question papers do not encourage routine memorisation by the examinees, while special focus will be on setting question papers which facilitate an evaluator to evaluate a student on the basis of holistic and applied knowledge rather than going by a purely all-bookish approach.
The Committee which held its maiden meeting on Thursday has been asked to submit its recommendations within a month’s time.

“The Vice-Chancellor was keen enough to have this reform initiated in the larger interest of the students. We are very hopeful that the committee recommendations will prove to be highly beneficial for examinees,” Dr Majid said, adding that the process for necessary Statutory amendments by the competent bodies will be initiated soon after the committee recommendations are finalised and approved.
Dr Majid said that they are also planning to rope in academics from some GMCs as well as affiliated colleges of KU in the committee for a larger representation in the panel.

Court charges 4 for rioting, setting mosque on fire in 2020 Delhi riots
[ad_1]
Four men have been charged by the Delhi Court on Saturday for rioting, and setting a mosque ablaze during the 2020 north East Delhi riots.
The accused – Ankit Sourabh Sharma, Rahul Kumar and Sachin – were identified on the basis of CCTV cameras present on the riot site.
According to the FIR lodged at Karawal Nagar police station, the complainant Mohammed Imran had alleged that the four were part of a mob that set fire to the Allah Wali mosque situated in Shahid Bhagat Singh Colony. They also tore the Quran present there and placed a Hindu idol in front of the Masjid.

Based on eyewitness ALi Ahmed’s statements, the court observed that accused Rohit was “instigating other members of the mob” to set fire to the masjid as well as nearby Muslim households.
Other accused Sourabh set the masjid on fire while Ankit tore and damaged articles inside the holy place.
“CCTV footage was used for identification of accused persons and the case basically rests on the account of fact given by eyewitnesses i.e. police officials and public persons, who identified the accused persons and pointed out to them in the CCTV footage. When all the accused persons are alleged to be members of unlawful assembly, it becomes immaterial, if a particular accused is not alleged with any specific overt act regarding setting fire in the mosque,” the court observed.
The five accused have been charged under the sections:
147(rioting)
148 (guilty of rioting, being armed with a deadly weapon or with anything which, used as a weapon of offence, is likely to cause death)
427 (Mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees)
436(Mischief by fire or explosive substance)
149(Offence committed by any member of an unlawful assembly in prosecution, every person who, at the time of the committing of that offence, is a member of the crime), 188(Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 450(Commit offence punishable with imprisonment for life) of the IPC.
Rohit was additionally charged with Sections

109 (If the act abetted is committed in consequence of the abetment)
114 (Abettor present when offence is committed) of the IPC

MHA orders setting up of Border Police Posts in all border districts of J&K

[ad_1]
Step aimed at further strengthening Border Grid
JAMMU, Mar 17: In a major decision aimed at creating second or third line of defence along the borders, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has approved creation of Police Border Posts in all border districts of Jammu and Kashmir with a view to ensure that arms, ammunition, explosives, currency and narcotics sent through infiltrators or drones by Pakistan don’t manage to cross the border areas.
The Police Border Posts have been approved in Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Rajouri and Poonch districts of Jammu region and Baramulla and Kupwara districts in the Kashmir valley, official sources told the Excelsior.
“The step is aimed at further strengthening the Border Grid. It will ensure that no adverse activities by the enemy succeed on the border. Be it infiltration, drone activities, illegal smuggling of weapons, pushing narcotics and currency besides arms, ammunition and explosives. All such activities have to be plugged at any cost,” sources said.
They added that in most of the cases; Army and BSF, deployed on LoC and International Border succeed in curbing the illegal activities. However, if infiltrators or Over Ground Workers (OGWs) carrying consignments cross the first line of defence, it has to be ensured that they don’t manage to breach border pickets.
Army is frontline force along the Line of control (LoC) in Rajouri, Poonch, Baramulla and Kupwara districts while the Border Security Force (BSF) mans the International Border in Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts.
The Village Defence Committees (VDCs), now rechristened as Village Defence Groups (VDGs) have already been activated in the border areas and more such groups could also be set up by the police depending on requirement.
However, the Police Border Posts will be manned by armed police personnel and will service as yet another line of defence in the border districts to ensure that militants or their OGWs don’t succeed in their designs.
“Work on setting up of the Border Police Posts has started. The Posts are being established in vulnerable areas where police officers feel, the infiltration or smuggling can take place,” sources said.

The MHA and Jammu and Kashmir Government have come up with new idea of setting up of the Border Police Posts following drone activities along the borders. However, the drone activities have come down in Jammu and Kashmir during past few months but have increased in neighbouring State of Punjab.
In border areas of Punjab, drones are regularly being intercepted by the BSF and Punjab Police which carried narcotics and weaponry.
A number of drones were earlier intercepted along the International Border in Jammu region. However, many consignments of arms, explosives, currency and narcotics recovered by police in the hinterland were found to have been dropped by drones on the borders and then picked up by the couriers for supplying them to the militants in different areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
Several such modules have been busted by police.It may be mentioned here that following Dhangri carnage in Rajouri district, police have also started activating the Village Defence Groups in border areas which will carry out night patrolling and keep surveillance on every kind of adverse movement in the border villages.
There have been a number of encounters between security personnel and militants on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway including Sidhra, Nagrota, Jhajjar Kotli etc where the militants after infiltration from the International Border were heading towards Kashmir in trucks along with arms and ammunition. All such militants were killed.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the militants crossed through the International Border in Samba and Kathua districts.

Tale of Talent & Potential: Mohammad Suhail Khan, Pulwama’s Specially-abled Artist Setting A Strong Precedent

[ad_1]
“If government gives me assistance, it will increase my confidence to do more”: Suhail Khan
Rehan Qayoom Mir
Srinagar, Mar 6 (GNS): Stress, mental imbalance and fear, a tale of a specially-abled person, who has seen all this but never stopped. Located approximately 13 kilometres from the main city, Hani-Pora Pulwama is home to a 29-year-old artist, Mohammad Suhail Khan, who is deaf and mute but exceptionally versatile. Despite deficiency he keeps going on and proves that, if you have talent you can conquer the world.
Suhail Khan is a 29-year-old artist who has faced numerous challenges in his life due to his deafness and inability to speak. Despite these challenges, Suhail has proven to be a talented and versatile artist with a range of skills and interests.
Suhail’s journey as an artist began at a young age, when he discovered his passion for drawing and painting. Despite the difficulties he faced in communicating with others and expressing himself, Suhail’s talent has been shining through his art. As he grew older, Suhail began to explore other mediums and techniques, including sculpture and printmaking.
Despite his talent, Suhail has faced numerous challenges in his career as an artist. One major obstacle has been the lack of support and recognition from the art world and the general public alike. Despite his struggles, Suhail has never given up on his dreams and continues to create beautiful art.
Suhail who is doing his BA in fine arts at University of Kashmir, while talking to the Global News Service (GNS), said that, he has a finesse in painting, sketching, clay modeling, sculpture, food, art, cake decorating, henna design, ring making, wall painting, photography, videography and art works as well.
Despite all these skills, Suhail while talking about the dark side of his talent says till now he hasn’t seen any significant response from the government or any other institution. “No doubt my art is God gifted, but people don’t see me as an artist, they still see me as a disabled man”, he says adding “In Kashmir, people fail to see a person’s talent; they only see his/her weakness.”

One of the most remarkable things about Suhail is his ability to overcome the barriers that have come every now and then. His deafness and inability to speak have not held him back from pursuing his passions and achieving success. Instead, Suhail has used these challenges as motivation to work harder and improve his skills.
Suhail’s talent and determination have earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and the art community. Many people have recognized the unique perspective that Suhail brings to his art, and he has received numerous accolades for his work – albeit none from any institution or government.
Suhail’s journey as an artist is a testament to the fact that anyone can achieve his/her dreams with hard work and determination. His story serves as an inspiration to others who may be facing similar challenges and serves as a reminder that everyone has the potential to achieve greatness.
“If the government gives me assistance, it will increase my confidence to do more. Everyone here is out of his home to earn money for himself, and at the end of the day, I see myself on the same platform, with any help from the government or any institution. Even though I have this rare talent, unfortunately, I have never been recognized by the government, despite the fact that I have showcased a talent out of the world for many years,” says Suhail.
“If anybody has been here for me, it has only been my family. They helped me on every step of the way. If I hadn’t received their help, I wouldn’t have come up with anything,” says Suhail while requesting the Government for support.
Irfan Lone, a very close friend of Suhail and his current roommate at University of Kashmir hostel, says that Suhail is a very gentle and humble person. He has a very frank nature and he is a man of golden heart, and it is very cool to be a roommate of such a super talented person.
“The only thing I wish is that Suhail’s art must get a good platform. He is a superb artist, but he has never been appreciated. My request to the Government is to give him a good platform to showcase his talent,” says Irfan.
Suhail says he wishes to earn by his talent and wants people to know him by his talent, not by his disability, and for that purpose he wants some sort of help from the administration. (GNS)

Adani stocks crash: SC orders setting up of panel headed by ex-judge Sapre

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered setting up of a six-member committee headed by former apex court judge Justice A M Sapre to investigate the recent Adani Group shares crash triggered by the Hindenburg Research’s fraud allegations and other regulatory aspects related to stock markets.
The court asked the panel to submit its report in a sealed cover within two months.
The top court observed that the PILs pertained to “the loss of investors’ wealth over the past few weeks due to the steep decline of share prices of Adani group companies, precipitated by the Hindenburg Research report which alleged manipulations and malpractices by the Adani group companies” and also directed market regulator SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) to complete its ongoing probe into the issue in two months and file a status report.
Besides former apex court judge Justice Sapre, the other members of the court-appointed panel will be “O P Bhat (former Chairman of SBI), Justice J P Devadhar (retired judge of the Bombay High Court), K V Kamath, Nandan Nilekani, Somasekharan Sundaresan”.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud directed the Centre, financial statutory bodies and the SEBI chairperson to render all cooperation to the Justice Sapre panel which will have to submit its report in a sealed cover within two months in the court.
The remit of the Committee shall be to provide an overall assessment of the situation including the relevant causal factors which have led to the volatility in the securities market in the recent past, the court said.
The committee will “suggest measures to strengthen investor awareness and to investigate whether there has been a regulatory failure in dealing with the alleged contravention of laws pertaining to the securities market in relation to the Adani Group or other companies,” it said.
It will suggest measures to strengthen the statutory or regulatory framework, and secure compliance with the existing framework for the protection of investors, it said.

The court directed the SEBI to inform the court-appointed committee of domain experts about the steps taken by it so far during the ongoing probe.
The bench, however, clarified that the constitution of the committee was not an “adverse reflection” on the functioning of the regulatory agencies.
The bench, which also comprised Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala, in a judgement, said the panel will make an overall assessment of the situation, suggest measures to make investors aware and strengthen existing regulatory measures for stock markets.
The court also asked it to examine if there was a violation of market regulations, short selling norms or stock price manipulations.
On the ambit of the probe to be conducted by the panel, the bench said it would “provide an overall assessment of the situation including the relevant causal factors which have led to the volatility in the securities market in the recent past.”
The committee will also suggest measures to increase “investor awareness” besides investigating whether there was any regulatory framework to deal with the recent alleged violations of law in the securities market.
The Justice Sapre panel will be suggesting “measures to strengthen the statutory framework and regulatory framework and secure compliance with the existing framework for the protection of existing investors.”
“The Committee is at liberty to seek recourse to external experts. The honorarium payable to the members of the committee shall be fixed by the Chairperson and shall be borne by the Union Government,” it said.
The Union Ministry of Finance shall nominate a senior officer to act as a nodal officer to provide logistical support to the panel, it said.
The apex court said in order to protect Indian investors against the volatility of the kind which has been witnessed in the recent past, it was of the view that it is appropriate to constitute an expert committee for the assessment of the extant regulatory framework and for making recommendations to strengthen it.
The top court requested the SEBI Chairperson to ensure that all requisite information is provided to the Committee.
” All agencies of the Union Government including agencies connected with financial regulation, fiscal agencies and law enforcement agencies shall cooperate with the Committee. The Committee is at liberty to seek recourse to external experts in its work.
“The honorarium payable to the members of the Committee shall be fixed by the Chairperson and shall be borne by the Union Government. The Secretary, Ministry of Finance shall nominate a senior officer who will act as a nodal officer to provide logistical assistance to the Committee,” it said.
The top court said all the expenses incurred in connection with the work of the Committee shall be defrayed by the Union Government.
“The Committee is requested to furnish its report in a sealed cover to this Court within two months,” it said.
On February 17, the top court, while reserving its verdict on setting up of the panel, had said that it will maintain “fullest transparency” to protect investor interest and refused to accept the Centre’s suggestion given in a sealed cover on it.
On February 10, the top court had said the interest of Indian investors need to be protected against market volatility in the backdrop of the Adani Group stocks rout and asked the Centre to consider setting up a panel of domain experts headed by a former judge to look at strengthening the regulatory mechanism.
The Centre had agreed to the apex court’s proposal to set up a committee, to be headed by a former Supreme Court judge, to go into the regulatory regimes.
SEBI, in its note filed in the top court, had indicated it is not in favour of banning short-selling or sale of borrowed shares, and said it is investigating allegations made by a tiny short-seller against the Adani Group as well as its share price movements.
Till now, four PILs have been filed in the top court on the issue by lawyers M L Sharma, Vishal Tiwari, Congress leader Jaya Thakur and Mukesh Kumar, who claims to be a social activist.
Adani Group stocks have taken a beating on the bourses after the Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation, against the business conglomerate.
The Adani Group has dismissed the charges as lies, saying it complies with all laws and disclosure requirements.
