  • We will make schools in Delhi, Punjab best in the world: Kejriwal

    We will make schools in Delhi, Punjab best in the world: Kejriwal

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Saturday said education is “a priority” for the AAP-led dispensations and work will be done to make government schools in both Delhi and Punjab the “best in the world”.

    AAP is the ruling party in Delhi and Punjab.

    Kejriwal was addressing a gathering of principals at an event here in the presence of his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann.

    Mann said that teachers in Punjab will not be engaged in anything other than teaching.

    In his address, Kejriwal said, “Improving and fixing education system in Delhi since we took charge here was very difficult.”

    Infrastructure was given a push earlier and then the AAP government focused on training teachers and principals, the party supremo said.

    Until teachers and principals are motivated, the impact will not be visible, he said.

    “If government wants, they can give best schools and education, but intentions and priorities matter. And, education is our priority. We took seven years in Delhi, but it will take less time in Punjab,” he said.

    “We will make government schools in Delhi and Punjab the best in the world,” Kejriwal said.

    Punjab will also experiment and Delhi will learn from it, the AAP chief said.

    A group of principals from Punjab government schools who underwent professional training in Singapore from February 6 to 10, shared their experiences during the event.

    Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains was present on the occasion.

    At the event, Manish Sisodia, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister who also holds the education portfolio, said this is perhaps the first time that chief ministers and education ministers of both Punjab and Delhi have come together along with principals from both sides to have such a feedback session.

    Punjab Chief Minister Mann on February 4 had flagged off the first batch of 36 state government school principals to participate in a professional teacher training seminar in Singapore.

    With naming anyone, Mann said there are leaders who have never appeared in any examination but give advice on exams.

  • The secret Saudi plan to buy the World Cup

    The secret Saudi plan to buy the World Cup

    [ad_1]

    Saudi Arabia offered to pay for new sports stadiums in Greece and Egypt if they agreed to team up with the oil-rich Gulf heavyweight in a joint bid to host the 2030 football World Cup, POLITICO can reveal. 

    In exchange, the Saudis would get to stage three-quarters of all the matches, under the proposed deal. 

    The dramatic offer — likely worth billions of euros in construction costs — was discussed in a private conversation between Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in summer 2022, according to a senior official familiar with the matter.

    A second senior official with knowledge of private discussions on the bid told POLITICO that Saudi Arabia is prepared to “fully underwrite the costs” of hosting for Greece and Egypt, but 75 percent of the huge 48-team tournament itself would be held in the Gulf state. 

    It is not clear whether the offer was taken up. But the three countries are now working on a joint proposal to host the 2030 tournament, a move which has triggered a backlash against Greece. 

    Riyadh’s megabucks offer to Greece, reported here for the first time, will fuel criticism that Saudi Arabia is effectively attempting to use its astronomical wealth to buy the World Cup by creating a trans-continental coalition to cleverly take advantage of the voting system. 

    In an attempt to persuade the members of football’s world governing body, FIFA, of the virtues of the Saudi-led bid, the proposed tournament would see matches held across three continents, providing geographical balance. A Middle East-only World Cup bid would be unlikely to succeed just eight years after Qatar hosted the tournament in 2022. 

    The Saudis’ main rivals are a joint Spain, Portugal and Ukraine bid from Europe, and a South American bid from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile.  

    The decision on who hosts the 2030 World Cup comes down to a public vote of the entire FIFA Congress, made up of more than 200 member associations from around the globe. If African countries, attracted by Egypt’s presence and Saudi investment around Africa, rally behind the bid, and Asian nations do the same, while Greece siphons off some European votes, the Saudi-led proposal will stand a strong chance of winning. 

    POLITICO approached all three governments for comment. The Greek and Saudi governments declined to comment and the Egyptian government did not respond to POLITICO’s requests. FIFA also declined to comment. 

    ‘New world order’

    Holding the World Cup would be the culmination of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious strategy to dominate major sporting events. Successes include winning the rights to host world championship boxing bouts, European football and Formula One motor races, while creating its own rebel golf tour. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund also bought a prominent English football club and the country will host football’s Asian Cup for the first time in 2027. 

    But Saudi Arabia’s desire to stage the World Cup goes beyond reasons of sporting prestige, according to one regional expert.

    “Saudi Arabia is strategically trying to position itself as an AfroEurasian hub — the center of a new world order,” Simon Chadwick, professor of sport and geopolitical economy at Skema Business School in Paris, said of the Saudi-fronted bid. “This positioning would enable Saudi Arabia to exert significant power and influence across a vast geographic area, which it is seeking to achieve by building relationships with key partners.”

    “The multipolar staging of a World Cup with Egypt and Greece would be neither altruism nor largesse. Rather, it would form part of a wider plan, which the government in Riyadh is enabling through the potential gifting of stadiums,” he added.

    The Saudi move to host the tournament has sparked disgust among human rights watchdogs, who point out the country’s brutal treatment of the LGBTQ+ community and migrant workers.

    “Saudi Arabian repression should not be rewarded with a World Cup,” said Minky Worden, director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch. “So long as Saudi Arabia discriminates against LGBT people and punishes women for human rights activism, and does not have protections for the migrant laborers who would build the majority of the new stadiums and facilities, the country cannot meet the human rights requirements that FIFA already has in place.”

    The 2022 Qatar World Cup was blighted by criticism of the Gulf state over its treatment of migrant workers.

    Bad memories

    In Greece, paying for sports infrastructure is a touchy subject, where it is seen as a monument to government profligacy. 

    Back in 2004, Athens hosted the Olympic Games, with Greece splurging around €9 billion. However, much of the infrastructure was left abandoned after the Olympic flame went out. 

    As the country entered a decade-long depression and had to resort to bailout programs to avoid bankruptcy, the Olympics became a source of anger for Greeks who questioned whether the Games pushed their country further into recession. Nearly two decades after the Olympics extravaganza, many of the 30 venues remain unused, while some have been demolished.

    Since coming to power in 2019, Greece’s conservative New Democracy government has sought to deepen ties with the Saudis and other Gulf countries, as a response to arch-rival Turkey’s expansionist policy in the region.

    Mitsotakis has visited Riyadh multiple times, Greece has delivered military equipment and soldiers to Saudi Arabia and, in July last year, Athens became the first EU capital visited by bin Salman since he personally approved, according to declassified U.S. intelligence, the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

    Bin Salman, who is back in the West’s good books thanks to an energy crisis triggered by Russia’s war on Ukraine, signed a number of bilateral agreements in Athens last summer, while pledging to make Greece an energy hub for the distribution of “green hydrogen.”

    Saudi Arabia has traditionally enjoyed close diplomatic ties with Egypt. Bin Salman met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo last June where he signed billions of euros worth of investment deals and discussed “bilateral, regional cooperation.”

    The decision on World Cup 2030 hosting will be made in 2024, with the bidding process set to open officially later this year.

  • World producing record amount of single-use plastic waste than ever: Report

    World producing record amount of single-use plastic waste than ever: Report

    [ad_1]

    The world is producing a record amount of single-use plastic waste, mostly made from polymers created from fossil fuels, despite global efforts to reduce plastic pollution and carbon emissions, according to a new report released on Monday.

    The second Plastic Waste Makers Index, compiled by the Western Australia-based philanthropic Minderoo Foundation, found the world generated 139 million metric tonnes of single-use plastic waste in 2021, which was 6 million metric tonnes more than in 2019, when the first index was released, CNN reported.

    The report found the additional plastic waste created in those two years equates to nearly one 1 kg more for every person on the planet and was driven by demand for flexible packagings like films and sachets.

    In recent years, governments around the world have announced policies to reduce the volume of single-use plastic, banning products like single-use straws, disposable cutlery, food containers, cotton swabs, bags and balloons, CNN reported.

    In July, California became the first US state to announce its own targets, including a drop of 25 per cent in the sale of plastic packaging by 2032.

    In December, the UK extended its list of banned items to include single-use trays, balloon sticks and some types of polystyrene cups and food containers.

    Bans are also in place in the European Union, Australia and India, among other places.

    But the report found that recycling isn’t scaling up fast enough to deal with the amount of plastic being produced, meaning that used products are far more likely to be dumped in landfills, on beaches and in rivers and oceans than to make it into recycling plants, CNN reported.

    “It demonstrates beyond any doubt that the plastic pollution problem is getting much bigger and is being driven by the polymer producers, which are of course, driven by the oil and gas sector,” said Andrew Forrest, Minderoo founder.

    He’s proposing a “polymer premium” on every kilogram of plastic polymer made from fossil fuels to give people, companies and governments a financial incentive to recycle more.

    “In the advanced world, that polymer payment will lead to automatic mechanize collection. In the developing world, it’ll lead to people who would not otherwise have any work, having work making sure there’s no plastic waste going into the ocean, there’s no plastic waste on streets, there’s no plastic waste poisoning wildlife,” he said.

    Last year, the UN Environment Assembly agreed to create the world’s first-ever global plastic pollution treaty.

    An intergovernmental committee is working to a 2024 deadline to draft a legally binding agreement that would address the full lifecycle of plastic, from its production and design to its disposal.

    Work by self-help groups garnering praise from different parts of world: Nitish

    [ad_1]

    Katihar: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday heaped praise on women associated with self-help groups for the work undertaken by them, as part of his government’s rural livelihoods project, to improve the economic status of their families.

    He noted that the number of ‘Jeevika didi’ as the self-help group women are referred to has surged to 1.30 crore in the state.

    Interacting with media persons in Katihar during his Samadhan Yatra’, Kumar said, “Jeevika Didis are doing splendid jobs, and this model (Bihar Rural Livelihoods Project) has ensured women get empowered in a big way. Their work is earning appreciation from different parts of the world.”

    A senior official of the government, who is associated with the project, said women have been able to empower themselves and improve the economic condition of their families through a range of livelihood interventions, which include agricultural work, awareness generation over social ills, and other health sector-related jobs.

    Launched in 2006, the project has so far benefited 590,000 households across the state, he said.

  • World Cancer day: J&K witnessing steady increase in cancer cases

    World Cancer day: J&K witnessing steady increase in cancer cases

    [ad_1]

    Jahangeer Ganaie

    Srinagar, Feb 04: Cancer is devouring people across the globe with Jammu and Kashmir witnessing a rise in cases over the years.

    The data shows that stomach cancer (25%) followed by colorectal (16%) and lung cancer (13.2%) is more common among males while colorectal cancer (16.8%), breast cancer (16%), and stomach cancer (10%) were mostly reported cancers among women.

    The data shows that esophagus, stomach and colorectal cancers form 60 percent cases.

    A leading oncologist at SKIMS Soura Dr Zahoor told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the last decade has witnessed a steady rise in cancer cases.

    He cited lifestyle change, adoption of western/urban lifestyle among the causes for the increase in the deadly disease.

    Dr Zahoor listed individual changes to be followed including healthy lifestyle and food habits with physical exercise, quitting smoking for bringing down cases of cancer. At a collective level, measures include prevention of environmental pollution and drinking clean water.

    Dr Shabnam, an oncosurgeon insisted for timely diagnosis and screening of cancer for appropriate treatment.

    She said that this year, the 2nd part of 3-year UICC Campaign for Impact ‘ Close The Care Gap’ focuses on ‘Realising the Problem and Taking Action’, we all together can work on reducing the inequities in cancer care at all levels, starting from creating more awareness.

    “People need to understand that 30-50% of cancers are preventable. If we focus on certain lifestyle modifications we can reduce our risk,” said Dr Shabnam.

    She suggested quitting smoking and alcohol consumption and doing physical activity, weight reduction strategies, de-stressing, proper sleep, consuming fresh fruits and vegetables especially high fibre diets and antioxidant foods for avoiding cancer.

    “Avoiding junk and packaged foods, reducing unnecessary exposure to various radiations like overuse of mobiles & other such devices especially in close proximity to their bodies, taking proper precautions to reduce exposure to occupational carcinogens like gamma rays, asbestos, cadmium, coal-tar, radon, aniline etc by using protective equipment & regular check-ups,” she said.

    Dr S M Qadri too stressed for a healthy behaviour for reducing risk of cancer.

    He said that people must avoid pollutants and harmful chemicals including asbestos, pesticides and containers with BPA, get vaccinated against HPV and know the cancer symptoms and signs.

    Doctors said that people are taking a lot of red meat and are not following a physical exercise, eating less fruits and vegetables due to which colorectal cancers are reported in young people who are aged 20 which was otherwise found in people above 50.

    They said the cooking and diet system needs to be changed and salt tea must be used as low as possible and never drink hot tea and ripening agents must be banned and colouring agents must be avoided or used under limits—(KNO)

  • IWT: India questions World Bank’s decision to start two separate processes

    IWT: India questions World Bank’s decision to start two separate processes

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: India on Thursday questioned the World Bank’s decision to appoint a Court of Arbitration and a neutral expert under two separate processes to resolve differences between New Delhi and Islamabad over the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir.

    Last week, India issued a notice to Pakistan seeking a review and modification of the 62-year-old Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) for management of cross-border rivers following Islamabad’s “intransigence” in handling disputes.

    “I do not think they (World Bank) are in a position to interpret the treaty for us. It is a treaty between our two countries and our assessment of the treaty is that there is a provision of graded approach,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.

    India took the significant step of sending the notice to Pakistan conveying its intent to amend the treaty months after the World Bank announced appointing a neutral expert and a chair of Court of Arbitration to resolve the differences over the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects.

    New Delhi has been particularly disappointed over the appointment of the Court of Arbitration.

    “India’s Indus Water Commissioner issued a notice on January 25 for the modification of the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 to his Pakistani counterpart,” Bagchi said at a media briefing while replying to a question on the matter.

    “This notice was issued with the intent to provide an opportunity to Pakistan to enter into government-to-government negotiations to rectify ongoing material breach of the treaty,” he said.

    Bagchi said India called upon Pakistan to notify a suitable date for the commencement of inter-state bilateral negotiations under article 12(III) of the treaty within 90 days.

    “I am not aware of a response from Pakistan as yet. I am not aware of any response or comment by the World Bank,” he said.

    The World Bank’s role is procedural and it appoints neutral experts or the chair of the court of arbitration in case of differences between India and Pakistan on issues relating to cross-border rivers.

    “I do not think they (World Bank) are in a position to interpret the treaty for us. It is a treaty between our two countries and our assessment of the treaty is that there is a provision of graded approach,” Bagchi said.

    New Delhi considers the start of the two concurrent processes to resolve the dispute a violation of the provision of the graded mechanism prescribed in the pact and wondered what will happen if the mechanisms come out with contradictory judgements.

    “The world bank itself, around five-six years ago, acknowledged the problem of having two parallel processes. Our interpretation and assessment is that this is not in consonance with the provisions of the treaty and hence we have been talking about a graded approach,” Bagchi said.

    The spokesperson said India’s position on the matter has not changed at all.

    “I do not know whether the World Bank has changed its position on it,” he said.

    India has not cooperated with the Court of Arbitration.

    Under the pact, any differences need to be resolved under a three-stage approach. However, in the cases of Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects, the World Bank started two concurrent dispute redressal processes at the insistence of Pakistan that India felt was a breach of the IWT, according to sources.

  • World Wetland Day: Encroachment, pollution, poaching major challenges, says Wildlife Dept

    [ad_1]

    Jahangeer Ganaie

    Srinagar, Feb 02: Wetlands aren’t wasteland but biodiversity hotspots which provide habitat for countless plants and animals and there is a need to preserve them for future generations, Wildlife department officials said on Thursday.

    Officials told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), that the Wetlands are important because they protect and improve water quality, provide fish and wildlife habitats, store floodwaters and maintain surface water flow during dry periods.

    “Wetlands are unique, productive ecosystems where terrestrial and aquatic habitats meet. Wetlands play a critical role in maintaining many natural cycles and supporting a wide range of biodiversity. They serve as a natural sponge against flooding and drought, protect our coastlines and help fight climate change,” they said.

    Wetland performs numerous valuable functions such as recycle nutrients, purify water, attenuate floods, recharge ground water and also serves in providing drinking water, fish, fodder, fuels, wildlife habitat, control rate of runoff in urban areas, buffer shorelines against erosion and recreation to society, they said.

    They said that there is a need to reduce, reuse, and recycle your waste and trash as protecting the environment helps protect the wetlands, especially since trash can make its way into the water and the best and easiest way to protect the environment is by limiting your household waste.

    Ifshan Dewan Wildlife warden wetlands (Kashmir) while talking with KNO said that most people think that wetlands are wastelands but they must know wetlands are biodiversity hotspots.

    She said that Water bodies are the most productive ecosystem and there is a need to protect and restore them, that is why this day is being observed to create awareness among the public.

    She said that the basic challenges before them are to save these wetlands from encroachment mainly in urban areas, throwing of solid waste in them, silt and poaching.

    “Besides the sanitation and dwelling are challenges as almost every wetland in J&K is full of silt,” Ifshan said.

    She added that people must understand that poaching is a prohibited activity as poaching incidents are coming to fore and recently seven poaching guns were recovered from them.

    Ifshan said that around a lakh birds are present in Hokersar and other nearby wetlands which includes some new species like long tailed duck and few species of Reed Bunting bird as well which were seen for the first time after several years.

    She said that around 3000 kanals of wetland were freed from the public after one time amnesty to cut down trees was given to them due to which bird population has increased.

    Efforts are on to restore channels used for navigation which were blocked and so far two have been restored while work is going on to restore others as well.

    She requested people to cooperate in restoring wetlands as migratory birds are our guests and we must work together to protect them—(KNO)

  • India’s IT collection cost lowest in the world: Hyderabad Commissioner

    India’s IT collection cost lowest in the world: Hyderabad Commissioner

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: The income tax collection cost that the Income Tax (IT) department incurs in India is the lowest in the world, said Shishir Agarwal, chief commissioner of IT (Hyderabad) here on Thursday. He added that India spends 57 paise per Rs 100 of tax collected.

    The IT commissioner added that the United Kingdom spends spends 73 paise, Japan 174 paise, Germany 135 paise, Canada 150 paise, and France 111 paise for every Rs 100 IT collected respectively. “The USA is the only country that spends less than us,” stated Mr Agarwal, while addressing a Seminar hosted by the FTCCI  on ‘Post Union Budget 2023-2024—Implication for Trade and Industries’ in Hyderabad.

    “I come from a department which people love to hate.  No one wants us to visit them in our official capacity.  But, we are doing really well.  The numbers reflect our performance.  For the year 2021-2022, we have collected an all time record tax. The net direct tax collections (income tax and corporate tax) reached an all time high of Rs 14.09 lakh,” he said, according to a press release from FTCII.

    The IT commissioner in Hyderabad also added that 65% of IT returns in India filed were processed and refunds were made within 24 hours of filing. “We have moved to a faceless tax process, which is the first in the world.  We understand tax payers’ aspirations and bring tailor-made initiatives for the benefit of tax payers for a better tomorrow. India’s time has come now,” Shishir Agarwal opined.

    Speaking about the Union Budget released a day earlier, the Chief Commissioner of IT in Hyderabad called it ‘progressive’. Mr. Anil Agarwal, FTCCI president, said that union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman came out with a “people centric budget”. Over 200 professionals, experts from different walks of life attended the seminar.

  • Saudi Arabia to sponsor FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

    Saudi Arabia to sponsor FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

    [ad_1]

    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s tourist authority is reportedly set to be sponsor of FIFA’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this year, local media reported.

    Visit Saudi is expected to  join global brands such as Adidas, Coca-Cola and Visa under FIFA’s new “commercial partnership structure”.

    The 2023 Women’s World Cup competitions in Australia and New Zealand will start on July 20, and will end on August 20.

    The 2023 Women’s World Cup will witness for the first time an increase in the number of teams to 32 teams, and also for the first time that it will be held in two countries, after it was 24 teams in the 2019 edition in France.

    Despite the huge strides women’s football has made in recent years, the announcement that Visit Saudi will become the headline sponsor has sparked condemnation.

    In recent years, the Kingdom has been criticized for its record on human rights and women’s rights.

    In 2022, it was ranked as the second worst human rights violation worldwide by Human Rights Watch due to the execution of 81 men in one day.

    This sponsorship will be the latest in a series of major sports investments by Saudi Arabia.

    Saudi Arabia has begun to enter the women’s football arena with full force since the country implemented its ambitious plan for Saudi Vision 2030, as the country has two degrees of competition, through the Women’s Premier League with the participation of 8 teams, and the First Division League with the participation of 17 teams.

    At the beginning of this year— 2023, Saudi Arabia organized the first international women’s football championship, under the name — Women’s International Friendly Championship 2023 in the Saudi city of Khobar, which witnessed the participation of Mauritius, Comoros, Pakistan and the Saudi landowner, who won the title.

    In June 2022, the country organized the West Asian Championship for Futsal Women 2022 in Jeddah, which ended with the landowner winning the runner-up, in exchange for the championship title going to the Iraqi national team.

    Women were allowed to attend football matches in Saudi Arabia for the first time in 2018, and the country introduced a women-only national football team for the first time in 2022.

    News About Kashmir Hosting World Cup Match Goes Rapidly Viral On Social Media

    The news which is being circulated on social media that Kashmir will host one of the cricket world cup matches in Srinagar’s Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium this year is totally baseless.

    Many Facebook pages and some news outlets, surprisingly, misread this creative, spreading the fake news that Kashmir will host the World Cup.WhatsApp Image 2023 02 01 at 23.30.52

    Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium in Srinagar last hosted an international match in 1986. The ground hasn’t even hosted a Ranji Trophy match in the last four years. There’s zero possibility of it hosting an international match in near future.

    This could be the first time India has hosted the event on its own, After co-hosting tournaments in 1987 (with Pakistan), 1996 (with West Pakistan and Ceylon), and 2011 (with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh).

    Australia are the most successful team in the history of the Cricket World Cup, having won the tournament a record five times. India and West Indies have won by twice , while Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and England have all won once.

    20 players have been selected by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to represent India in the ICC World Cup in 2023. In the months leading up to the World Cup, the chosen players will be used in changing lineups. Additionally, the athletes’ physical condition will be thoroughly watched.

    Ten teams will contest for the coveted trophy. The top eight teams will get a direct entry to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The remaining teams will have to play in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier along with five Associate teams. Two teams from the qualifying tournament will then progress to the World Cup.
