ent cities and states of
our country. Our guests

Draft statement
echoes PM’s
“not-time-for-
war” remark
New Delhi: As world
leaders have gathered
in Bali for the summit,
the language of the
draft statement of the
G20 communique
“echoes” PM Modi’s
words to Russian Pres-
ident Vladimir Putin
in September. “The In-
dian delegation played
a big role in achieving
consensus among
member states over
the wording that criti-
cised the Russian inva-
sion, according to
three officials with
knowledge of the nego-
tiations. The language
of the draft statement
echoed Indian PM’s
words to Putin in Sep-
tember by saying ‘now
is not the time for
war’,” the Financial
Times reported.

WHAT HAPPENED
BETWEEN MODI
AND XI: OWAISI
DOCTOR SAYS AFTAB POONAWALA
CAME WITH CUTS ON HANDS
‘HAWKEYE’ GEHLOT!
Bali: PM Modi on Wednes-
day held talks with his
British counterpart Rishi
Sunak, covering key areas
of cooperation such as
trade, mobility, defence and
security. The meeting took
place on the sidelines of
the G-20 summit. After the
meeting, Modi said India
attaches great importance
to robust India-UK ties.
Bali: A video of PM Modi
and Chinese President Xi
Jinping shaking hands at
the ongoing G20 summit
sparked a debate. AIMIM
MP Asaduddin Owaisi,
asked on Twitter, “Why
has Modi not tweeted
about it? The country
needs to know what
transpired between Modi
and Xi.”
New Delhi: A doctor who treated Aftab said the accused
had visited him in May, the same month when the
woman was killed, for treating a wound. Dr Anil Kumar
recalled Poonawala was very aggressive and restless
when he had come to him for treatment and when he
asked him about his injury, he claimed he got hurt while
cutting fruit. “When I saw him, I found it was not a deep
injury but a superfi cial one. The underline structure was
intact,” said Dr Kumar.
It was a rare scene on
Wednesday when CM
Ashok Gehlot inaugurated
the Rajasthan University
Library and then arrived
to inaugurate the archery
fi eld. During this, Gehlot
himself took bow and arrow
and hit the target. Seeing
this new avatar of Gehlot,
everyone in the program was
stunned. Gehlot satirically
said, “Today the arrow hit
the target, this is a pleasant
message.” But what was the
actual meaning of this satire
of Gehlot? Coincidentally,
Ajay Maken’s resignation
happened this morning itself.
Delhi Police files plea
for narco test on Aftab
New Delhi: A Delhi
court has allowed the
request of the Delhi po-
lice to conduct Narco
Test on the accused
Aftab Poonawala in the
Shraddha Walkar Mur-
der case. Earlier, the
police reached out to
Saket court seeking
permission to conduct
the Narco Test on ac-
cused Aftab as they al-
leged that he is not co-
operating in the probe.
The police said that
Aftab is not proving
correct information
about Shraddha’s mo-
bile and the weapon he
used to kill her. At
times he says he dis-
posed of the mobile in
Maharashtra and
sometimes says he
threw it in Delhi, the
police said.
The police added that
it wants to unearth the
complete truth of the
case and the informa-
tion about the weapon
and Shraddha’s mobile
through the Narco anal-
ysis test.
It’s against Maha culture: Raut
on Fadnavis’ revenge comment
Pune: Day after Maha-
rashtra DyCM Deven-
dra Fadnavis said he
had “taken revenge”
against those who be-
trayed him, Shiv Sena’s
Sanjay Raut said it was
unfortunate that a lead-
er of Fadnavis’ stature
had lowered himself for
the sake of power.
Reacting to Fad-
navis’s comments, Raut
said, “In Maharashtra,
politics is not played on
the sentiment of re-
venge. If new prece-
dents and traditions
are being set up, then
this is against the cul-
ture of state.”
AAP’s ‘kidnapped’ candidate
withdraws from Gujarat polls Masks not mandatory in
flights: Aviation Ministry
Missile that
hit us was
Ukrainian
stray: Poland
Warsaw (Reuters): A
missile that hit Poland
was probably a stray
fired by Ukraine’s air
defences and not a Rus-
sian strike, Poland and
NATO said on Wednes-
day, easing global con-
cern that the war in
Ukraine could spill
across the border.
NATO’s chief said that
Moscow, not Kyiv was
ultimately to blame, for
starting the war in the
first place and launching
the attack that triggered
Ukraine’s defences.
“This is not Ukraine’s
fault. Russia bears ulti-
mate responsibility as it
continues its illegal war
against Ukraine,”
NATO Secretary-Gener-
al Jens Stoltenberg said.
“From the informa-
tion that we and our al-
lies have, it was an S-300
rocket made in the So-
viet Union,” Polish Pres-
ident Andrzej Duda said.
Surat: The AAP candi-
date from Surat East for
the upcoming Gujarat
Assembly polls, Kanchan
Jariwala, who had gone
“missing” since Tuesday,
withdrew his nomina-
tion from the seat on
Wednesday, with the AAP
charging that he was al-
legedly “kidnapped” and
forced by the ruling BJP
dispensation to do so.
On Wednesday, Jari-
wala arrived at the re-
turning officer’s office at
Nanpura in Surat and
withdrew his nomina-
tion form.On Wednes-
day morning, Jariwala
showed up at the return-
ing officer’s office, ac-
companied by police
personnel and bouncers.
New Delhi: The civil
aviation ministry on
Wednesday said that face
masks are not mandato-
ry during air travel any-
more. The ministry, how-
ever, added that passen-
gers should preferably
use them in view of the
threat of coronavirus.
“The matter, regard-
ing the requirement for
mandatory use of mask
or face covers during
air travel, has been re-
viewed in consultation
with Ministry of Health
& Family Welfare,” the
order issued by Minis-
try of Civil Aviation
read. The ministry in
its order said that in-
flight announcements
should not make refer-
ence to fine.
Aftab continues to
hide details during
investigation
AFTAB WAS REMORSELESS, CRIME WAS
PRE-PLANNED, SAYS VICTIM’S DAD
Mumbai: Call centre employee Shraddha Walkar’s
live-in-partner Aftab Poonawalla, accused of brutally
murdering her in Delhi, had appeared confi dent with
no trace of remorse on his face when Manikpur po-
lice in Maharashtra called him for questioning earlier
this month, an offi cial said. After Walkar’s family
members fi led a missing person’s complaint when
she was not traceable, the Manikpur police in Vasai
town of Palghar called Poonawalla for questioning
twice -last month and on November 3 - and on both
the occasions he told the police that Walkar had left
his place and they were not staying together, assis-
tant police inspector Sampatrao Patil told PTI.

ders of the youth. The
state government is com-
mitted to provide quality
education, employment,
skill development and all
kinds of higher opportu-
nities to the young gen-
eration. The next budget
of the state will also be
dedicated to the youth

Jaipur: BJP MLA Vas-
udev Devnani on
Wednesday hit out at
Minister Ashok Chan-
dna for allegedly mak-
ing insensitive re-
marks on the issue of
girls being ‘auctioned’
in Bhilwara district.
Devnani shared a
video of Chandna on
Twitter in which he is
seen rubbishing the
reports of girls
being sold for Rs
10,000, saying even
shoes are not available
at that price.
To a question from a
reporter that girls have
been sold for
Rs 10,000,
Chandna
is seen
telling
them in
the vid-
eo, “What world do you
live in? Even shoes are
not available for Rs
10,000 in today’s time.
What nonsense you
are talking.”
Flaying the
State Govern-
ment, Devnani
said, “Crime is
rampant in the State
and serious crimes
against women are be-
ing committed. The
girls are being traf-
ficked but the govern-
ment is giving insensi-
tive statements instead
of taking action.”
“A media report said
that after being auc-
tioned, these girls are
sent to UP, MP, Mum-
bai, Delhi and even for-
eign countries and sub-
jected to physical
abuse, torture and
sexual assault in slav-
ery. If true, the con-
tents of the report
amount to human
rights violations,” the

First India Bureau
Jaipur: On Wednesday,
CM Ashok Gehlot spoke
about sowing of crops,
urea, DAP and problems
being faced by farmers
in the state.
He said, “It has rained
well in Rajasthan this
time. Sowing of rabi
crops has been done
more and in advance and
the State was sanctioned
4.50 lakh MT of urea in
the month of Oct. Against
the demand, the Center
has supplied only 2.90
lakh MT of urea. While
against approved de-
mand of 2 lakh MT of
DAP in Oct, only 1.65 lakh
MT of DAP was supplied
by central govt.”
Moreover, against the
state’s sanctioned de-
mand of 4.50 lakh MT
urea for the month of
Nov, Rajasthan has just
received only 2.31 lakh
MT urea from the cen-
tral govt. There is short-
age of urea and DAP in
the state due to shortage
in supply, he said.
Soon the GoI will in-
crease the supply of
urea, DAP in the state as
per the requirement.
Our farmers should not
face any problem and
they will get urea as per
the demand, he added.

TRUMP THROWS
HIS HAT IN THE
RING, AMERICANS
NOT ENTHUSED
rubbing which the Re-
publican Party re-
ceived in the mid-term
elections has not de-
terred Donald Trump
from throwing his hat in the ring
again. Trump announced his 2024
presidential campaign for White
House on Wednesday. The an-
nouncement was met with strong
reactions even from his own party
members. Joe Biden welcomed
the announcement with a derisive
“Donald Trump failed America”
message. He also attacked his pre-
decessor for his failure on econo-
my, healthcare and on women’s
rights. Inciting a mob to violence
has been the darkest spot of
Trump’s presidency.
Trump’s baseless allegation
that the last elections were
rigged did not find any support
in the mid-term elections as
Americans were more concerned
about abortion law and inflation.
Conservative newspaper Nation-
al Review described Trump as
“monumentally selfish [and]
morally and electorally compro-
mised”. Trump may be in a delu-
sion about his popularity but the
pull of his slogan ‘Make America
Great’ has lost its appeal. The Re-
publicans could be looking for a
better alternative.
D
orld @8 billion
must be cheered
as human beings
have started to
live longer due to
better medical care. The Unit-
ed Nations said, “This un-
precedented growth is due to
the gradual increase in hu-
man lifespan owing to im-
provements in public health,
nutrition, personal hygiene
and medicine. It is also the
result of high and persistent
levels of fertility in some
countries.” The world at-
tained this landmark on No-
vember 15. The projection is
that the next billion will be
added to the global population
in the next 15 years as against
the 12 years in which it moved
from 7 billion to 8 billion.
There was a time when
population explosion was a
dreaded term. Food shortag-
es, poor medical and health
facilities and non-availabili-
ty of nutritious food for the
downtrodden gave govern-
ments a nightmare. All those
fears have receded as the
world, barring some African
countries, is growing more
food and the distribution is
equally robust. India’s spe-
cial arrangements for free
distribution of ration to the
economically weaker section
during the pandemic and
continuing with it even now
shows how our granaries
have enough stocks to meet
such exigencies not only in
the country but also help
neighbouring countries to
tide over the crisis.
Will all these resources last
forever? India’s population
will reach 1.5 billion by 2030
and peak in 2048 at 1.7 billion.
By 2030, India will overtake
China and it has to start wor-
rying about feeding a million
mouths and augment its re-
sources to meet the demand.
There is an urgent need to
develop villages to prevent
migration to cities.

W
he United Nations Organisa-
tion (UNO) was founded in
1945 after the Second World
War by 51 countries commit-
ted to maintaining interna-
tional peace and security and
developing friendly relations
among nations. The UN has
now 193 members and its
main defined purposes are: to
keep peace throughout the
world; to develop friendly rela-
tions among nations; to help
nations work together to im-
prove the lives of poor people,
to conquer hunger, disease
and illiteracy, and to encour-
age respect for each other’s
rights and freedom and to be
a centre for harmonizing the
actions of nations to achieve
these goals. The most power-
ful organ of UN, United Na-
tions Security Coun -
cil (UNSC) has primary re-
sponsibility of maintaining
international peace and secu-
rity. However, the basic struc-
ture of the UNSC has re-
mained almost unchanged
since its foundation more
than 75 years ago. Today, with
significant changes in the re-
alities of the global scenario,
the legitimacy, effectiveness,
democratisation, and repre-
sentativeness of the Security
Council is being questioned.
A Working Group was estab-
lished in Dec 1993 by General
Assembly for the discussions
over Security Council reforms
or restructuring. Any restruc-
turing of the Security Council
would require support of at
least two-thirds Member
States (193) and consent of all
of the permanent members of
the UNSC (which have veto
rights). Therefore, collabora-
tion among the member states
is essential in achieving the
reforms. The divergent posi-
tions of member states have
made it difficult to come up
with a common plan so far.
Restructuring of UNSC in-
volves Democratisation by
correcting the imbalances in
power relationships among
P5 and the rest of the world,
Expansion in permanent and
non-permanent seats to ena-
ble the UN organ to better
deal with the “ever-complex
and evolving challenges” and
maintenance of internation-
al peace and security and Eq-
uitable Representation of all
the regions of the world will
give it a geo - political balance
and desired effectiveness. Ja-
pan, as a member of G4 (Bra-
zil, Germany, India and Ja-
pan), supports the expansion
of both permanent and non-
permanent categories of the
Council. L.69 group of coun-
tries from Africa, Latin
America and the Caribbean,
Asia and the Pacific have
committed to instilling “new
life” in their efforts towards
achieving reform of the UN
Security Council.
INDIA’S BID TO UNSC
India has been a non - perma-
nent member of UNSC eight
times including the current
term and has been at the fore-
front of the years-long efforts
to reform the Security Coun-
cil stating its rightful claim to
be a permanent member of
the Council, which in its cur-
rent form does not represent
the geo-political realities of
the 21st Century. India’s claim
for a permanent seat in the
UNSC is justified being the
largest democracy, the second
most populous country, and
the fifth largest and fastest
growing economy. India has
been as active participant in
UN, raised its voice passion-
ately against racial discrimi-
nation in South Africa, played
its part in formulating deci-
sions on several issues such
as admitting former colonies
to the UN, addressing deadly
conflicts in the Middle East
and maintaining peace in Af-
rica and contributed exten-
sively to the UN, particularly
for the maintenance of inter-
national peace and security
and has been major contribu-
tor to UN peacekeeping mis-
sions across the Globe.
India also represents the
interests of most of the un-
derdeveloped and developing
countries of the world. Its
adherence to the principle of
non-alignment and commit-
ment to Panchsheel- Five
Principles of Peaceful Co-
existence -that focuses on
non-interference by one
country in the internal af-
fairs of the other has sub-
stantially promoted peace
and stability in the world.
India intends to be a global
rule-maker, and, therefore,
wants to be a member of the
expanded UNSC permanent
category to have a greater say
in the emerging internation-
al order. However, India’s am-
bition has been hampered by
the country’s security issues,
China’s opposition and low
pace of development.
Among the five permanent
members of the UNSC, four
countries, including the US,
UK, France and Russia have
bilaterally extended their sup-
port for India’s candidature to
the permanent seat in the ex-
panded UNSC. However, China
has obstructed its inclusion.
Countries such as Pakistan,
North Korea and Italy, which
are China’s close allies, have
also been opposing India’s can-
didature for permanent mem-
bership in the UNSC. To side-
line India, China instead pro-
poses the inclusion of small
and medium-sized countries.
Apart from Chinese opposi-
tion Indian stand on NPT and
CTBT is also a sour point
which is not really liked by
many countries.
Despite some of these chal-
lenges, India being a current
non- permanent member has
accorded highest priority to
restructuring of council and
its stand on getting a perma-
nent seat. It has enhanced its
engagement with global fora
of significance like G-4, G-20
(taking over Chairmanship),
ASEAN, SCO (Currently
Chairman), I2U2, The Quad-
rilateral Security Dialogue
Quad and L69. India has
adopted multi layered strat-
egy whereby it’s focussing on
enhancing its support in
General Assembly and reduc-
ing the resistance in Security
Council.
The call for reforms takes on

wide recognition of role of In-

TOP TWEETS
TRUMP THROWS
HIS HAT IN THE
RING, AMERICANS
NOT ENTHUSED
rubbing which the Re-
publican Party re-
ceived in the mid-term
elections has not de-
terred Donald Trump
from throwing his hat in the ring
again. Trump announced his 2024
presidential campaign for White
House on Wednesday. The an-
nouncement was met with strong
reactions even from his own party
members. Joe Biden welcomed
the announcement with a derisive
“Donald Trump failed America”
message. He also attacked his pre-
decessor for his failure on econo-
my, healthcare and on women’s
rights. Inciting a mob to violence
has been the darkest spot of
Trump’s presidency.
Trump’s baseless allegation
that the last elections were
rigged did not find any support
in the mid-term elections as
Americans were more concerned
about abortion law and inflation.
Conservative newspaper Nation-
al Review described Trump as
“monumentally selfish [and]
morally and electorally compro-
mised”. Trump may be in a delu-
sion about his popularity but the
pull of his slogan ‘Make America
Great’ has lost its appeal. The Re-
publicans could be looking for a
better alternative.
D
orld @8 billion
must be cheered
as human beings
have started to
live longer due to
better medical care. The Unit-
ed Nations said, “This un-
precedented growth is due to
the gradual increase in hu-
man lifespan owing to im-
provements in public health,
nutrition, personal hygiene
and medicine. It is also the
result of high and persistent
levels of fertility in some
countries.” The world at-
tained this landmark on No-
vember 15. The projection is
that the next billion will be
added to the global population
in the next 15 years as against
the 12 years in which it moved
from 7 billion to 8 billion.
There was a time when
population explosion was a
dreaded term. Food shortag-
es, poor medical and health
facilities and non-availabili-
ty of nutritious food for the
downtrodden gave govern-
ments a nightmare. All those
fears have receded as the
world, barring some African
countries, is growing more
food and the distribution is
equally robust. India’s spe-
cial arrangements for free
distribution of ration to the
economically weaker section
during the pandemic and
continuing with it even now
shows how our granaries
have enough stocks to meet
such exigencies not only in
the country but also help
neighbouring countries to
tide over the crisis.
Will all these resources last
forever? India’s population
will reach 1.5 billion by 2030
and peak in 2048 at 1.7 billion.
By 2030, India will overtake
China and it has to start wor-
rying about feeding a million
mouths and augment its re-
sources to meet the demand.
There is an urgent need to
develop villages to prevent
migration to cities.
TIME TO DEVELOP
VILLAGES IS NOW
India’s population will
reach 1.5 billion by 2030
and peak in 2048 at 1.7
billion. By 2030, India
will overtake China
and it has to start
worrying about feeding
a million mouths and
augment its resources to

W
he United Nations Organisa-
tion (UNO) was founded in
1945 after the Second World
War by 51 countries commit-
ted to maintaining interna-
tional peace and security and
developing friendly relations
among nations. The UN has
now 193 members and its
main defined purposes are: to
keep peace throughout the
world; to develop friendly rela-
tions among nations; to help
nations work together to im-
prove the lives of poor people,
to conquer hunger, disease
and illiteracy, and to encour-
age respect for each other’s
rights and freedom and to be
a centre for harmonizing the
actions of nations to achieve
these goals. The most power-
ful organ of UN, United Na-
tions Security Coun -
cil (UNSC) has primary re-
sponsibility of maintaining
international peace and secu-
rity. However, the basic struc-
ture of the UNSC has re-
mained almost unchanged
since its foundation more
than 75 years ago. Today, with
significant changes in the re-
alities of the global scenario,
the legitimacy, effectiveness,
democratisation, and repre-
sentativeness of the Security
Council is being questioned.
A Working Group was estab-
lished in Dec 1993 by General
Assembly for the discussions
over Security Council reforms
or restructuring. Any restruc-
turing of the Security Council
would require support of at
least two-thirds Member
States (193) and consent of all
of the permanent members of
the UNSC (which have veto
rights). Therefore, collabora-
tion among the member states
is essential in achieving the
reforms. The divergent posi-
tions of member states have
made it difficult to come up
with a common plan so far.
Restructuring of UNSC in-
volves Democratisation by
correcting the imbalances in
power relationships among
P5 and the rest of the world,
Expansion in permanent and
non-permanent seats to ena-
ble the UN organ to better
deal with the “ever-complex
and evolving challenges” and
maintenance of internation-
al peace and security and Eq-
uitable Representation of all
the regions of the world will
give it a geo - political balance
and desired effectiveness. Ja-
pan, as a member of G4 (Bra-
zil, Germany, India and Ja-
pan), supports the expansion
of both permanent and non-
permanent categories of the
Council. L.69 group of coun-
tries from Africa, Latin
America and the Caribbean,
Asia and the Pacific have
committed to instilling “new
life” in their efforts towards
achieving reform of the UN
Security Council.
INDIA’S BID TO UNSC
India has been a non - perma-
nent member of UNSC eight
times including the current
term and has been at the fore-
front of the years-long efforts
to reform the Security Coun-
cil stating its rightful claim to
be a permanent member of
the Council, which in its cur-
rent form does not represent
the geo-political realities of
the 21st Century. India’s claim
for a permanent seat in the
UNSC is justified being the
largest democracy, the second
most populous country, and
the fifth largest and fastest
growing economy. India has
been as active participant in
UN, raised its voice passion-
ately against racial discrimi-
nation in South Africa, played
its part in formulating deci-
sions on several issues such
as admitting former colonies
to the UN, addressing deadly
conflicts in the Middle East
and maintaining peace in Af-
rica and contributed exten-
sively to the UN, particularly
for the maintenance of inter-
national peace and security
and has been major contribu-
tor to UN peacekeeping mis-
sions across the Globe.
India also represents the
interests of most of the un-
derdeveloped and developing
countries of the world. Its
adherence to the principle of
non-alignment and commit-
ment to Panchsheel- Five
Principles of Peaceful Co-
existence -that focuses on
non-interference by one
country in the internal af-
fairs of the other has sub-
stantially promoted peace
and stability in the world.
India intends to be a global
rule-maker, and, therefore,
wants to be a member of the
expanded UNSC permanent
category to have a greater say
in the emerging internation-
al order. However, India’s am-
bition has been hampered by
the country’s security issues,
China’s opposition and low
pace of development.
Among the five permanent
members of the UNSC, four
countries, including the US,
UK, France and Russia have
bilaterally extended their sup-
port for India’s candidature to
the permanent seat in the ex-
panded UNSC. However, China
has obstructed its inclusion.
Countries such as Pakistan,
North Korea and Italy, which
are China’s close allies, have
also been opposing India’s can-
didature for permanent mem-
bership in the UNSC. To side-
line India, China instead pro-
poses the inclusion of small
and medium-sized countries.
Apart from Chinese opposi-
tion Indian stand on NPT and
CTBT is also a sour point
which is not really liked by
many countries.
Despite some of these chal-
lenges, India being a current
non- permanent member has
accorded highest priority to
restructuring of council and
its stand on getting a perma-
nent seat. It has enhanced its
engagement with global fora
of significance like G-4, G-20
(taking over Chairmanship),
ASEAN, SCO (Currently
Chairman), I2U2, The Quad-
rilateral Security Dialogue
Quad and L69. India has
adopted multi layered strat-
egy whereby it’s focussing on
enhancing its support in
General Assembly and reduc-
ing the resistance in Security
Council.
The call for reforms takes on
a sense of urgency as the Secu-
rity Council is stuck by system
of vetoes of the permanent
members and is failed to act on
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
As India expands its economic,
military, technological and po-
litical capabilities and contin-
ue working on the manage-
ment of global issues, it would
be able to overcome the chal-
lenges in the path of perma-
nent membership in the UN
Security Council. The world
wide recognition of role of In-
dian leadership in the ongoing
Russo-Ukraine conflict defi-
nitely brings India closer to
getting a permanent UNSC
seat than ever before.

New Delhi: Senior

his name was not on

list of the party for the
assembly polls in the
state, sources said on
Wednesday.
Tharoor’s name does
not feature in the list of
40 star campaigners for
the party that included
the likes of Congress
president Mallikarjun
Kharge and former par-
ty chiefs Sonia Gandhi
and Rahul Gandhi.
Among the other star

secretary Priyanka
Gandhi Vadra, CLP
leader in Kerala
Ramesh Chennithala,
former chief ministers
Digvijaya Singh,

Asked if he was dis-
appointed over his
name not featuring on
the list, Tharoor told
PTI, “The Congress
knows who or what is
best for it, so the ques-
tion of disappointment
is irrelevant.” Tharoor
had lost to Mr Kharge in
the party’s presidential
poll last month but had
secured over 1,000 votes
out of the more than
9,000 votes cast. The
NSUI had invited Tha-

POSTAL REG NO. JPC/004/2022-24
Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: A letter of the
Planning Department
is being discussed a lot
in the State’s bureau-
cracy these days. The
letter has been for-
warded by Secretary
of the Department -
Bhawani Singh Detha
to all the Additional
Chief Secretaries,
Principal Secretaries,
and Secretaries and
these top officials have
been asked to ‘immedi-
ately apply’ for SKOCH
AWARD citing major
achievements of their
departments or pro-
grammes and schemes
so that they could be
given national recog-
nition.
Letter is in the dis-
cussion because these
awards are given by a
private organisation.
These awards are be-
ing given for a long
time and neither the
Government of India
nor the State Govern-
ment has anything to
do with them. The pri-
vate organisation -
Skoch Group - manag-
es these awards with
Sameer Kochhar as
the Chairman of the
Group. Notably, Koch-
har has written books
like ‘Modinomics’
along with the
‘Vasundhara Raje
Model of e-govern -
ance.’
For nomination and
selection, the SKOCH
Awards follow laid
down rules and regula-
tions and word is that
a hefty amount is to be
paid for nomination.
The Government of In-
dia, from time to time,
keeps recognising the
State Governments’
achievements through
awards. The State gov-
ernments can moti -
vate their officers or
departments to apply
for such recognition.
But the Rajasthan gov-
ernment directing its
departments and offi-
cials for an award giv-
en by a private organi-
sation, is a first-of-its-
kind move.
The letter clearly
states, “As the last date
for applying for
SKOCH AWARDS is
30th November, you
are therefore request-
ed to initiate posing
for this award immedi-
ately. This may kindly
be accorded top prior-
ity.” Sources reveal
that various private
organisations give
awards and recogni-
tion, among which
SKOCH AWARD is
one, but the question
remains... Why is the
Rajasthan govern -
ment promoting and
recognising these
awards?
Govt’s ‘bizarre’ letter draws ‘bureaucratic interest’!

of Dr Bhimrao Ambed-
kar installed at the cam-
pus of Rajasthan Uni-

ing, he asked students

The CM said that
about 1.35L government
jobs have been given so
far. “More than one
lakh government jobs
are under process and
more than 1 lakh gov-
ernment jobs have been
announced in budget.
In this situation, Ra-
jasthan is becoming the

ing more than three and
a half lakh government

cently, MoUs worth Rs
11 lakh cr have been
signed in Invest Ra-

ment for the state.
“The dream seen years

is the son of ex-MLA
Bhanwar Lal Sharma.
This seat has been lying
vacant since BL Shar-
ma’s demise. The Con-
gress Central Election
Committee announced
Sharma’s name on
Wednesday. He will file
nomination papers to-
day. Anil Sharma is the
Chairman of Rajasthan
State Economic Back-
ward Classes Board & is
MoS in the Gehlot gov-
ernment. He is also a
PCC member for a long
time. Anil Sharma be-
came the Chairman of
the Municipality in 1980.
He was also the Presi-
dent of Sardarshahar
Block from 2000 to 2018.
He also held various
posts in party. Veteran
Cong MLA Bhanwarlal
Sharma was the MLA
from Sardarshahar for 6
times. He won as Con-
gress candidate 4 times
& became MLA on Lok
Dal, Janata Dal tickets.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: CM Ashok Ge-
hlot said the Raj gov-
ernment would provide
employment opportuni-
ties to youths through
job fairs in every dis-
trict. Expressing happi-
ness over the success of
the job fairs in Jaipur
and Jodhpur, Gehlot
said in a tweet in Hindi,
“I am happy that in the
last seven days, thou-
sands of youths have
got employment
through the job fairs or-
ganised by the Ra -
jasthan government in
Jaipur and Jodhpur.
Gehlot said, “Now we
have decided that job
opportunities will be
given to the youth by
organising job fairs in
every district.”
Aditi Nagar and
Amit Mishra
New Delhi: Rajasthan
incharge Ajay Maken
expressed his willing-
ness to discontinue as
the Raj Cong incharge.
In fact, the shocking de-
velopment has had no
reaction from the new
party President Mall-
ikarjun Kharge. But
What is the meaning of
Maken’s resignation? Is
he really going to get
any big responsibility in
Delhi? Or taking Ge-
hlot’s letter into cogni-
zance, the high com-
mand took the decision
to ‘free’ Maken from Ra-
jasthan? Is the high
command angry with
Maken for the misman-
agement in Rajasthan-
for not handling events
of Sept 25 properly?
These are just some
of the questions that the
Congress men discussed
among themselves on
Wednesday, however, at
present, Maken himself
gave the reason for his
resignation as other big
responsibilities. Al-
though the incident of
Sept 25 has also been
mentioned in the resig-
nation and it seems that
only time will answer all
these questions.
But will Raj Congress
get new in-charge now
and if so, who will this
leader be? The responsi-
bility of Rahul’s Bharat
Jodo Yatra is also to be
handled and right now
names of Sanjay Niru-
pam, Kumari Selja and
BK Hariprasad are in
discussion. Meanwhile,
it is also being said that a
young leader from Cong
may have to pay the price
of ‘loyalty and devotion’!
Word is that now Maken
camp is trying to take
disciplinary action
against this leader but
the ‘loyal leader’ is care-
free and worries none.
Interestingly, Khiladi
Lal Bairwa came out in
favor of Maken and
said, “Maken’s letter is
very painful. Sadly, no
decision has been taken
against indiscipline.
Maken’s concerns and
his duty to party are
well known. He was al-
ways loyal to the Gandhi
family.”
B
hanwarlal Sharma’s brother Shyamlal Sharma will join
the Bharatiya Janata Party today. Shyamlal Sharma
has defeated his sister-in-law Manohari Devi in the last
Panchayat elections. He had stopped his nephew Keshari
Sharma from becoming the ‘
Pradhan.’ Now he will create a
challenge for Anil Sharma.
C
hief Minister Ashok
Gehlot will go to Sard-
arshahar today and attend
the nomination of Congress
candidate Anil Sharma in the
by-election. Gehlot will also
address the Congress meet-
ing in Sardarshahar. Govind

leaders will accompany CM.

Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: The ruling Con -
gress in Rajasthan has
fielded Anil Sharma as
its candidate for Sardar-
shahar bypoll. Sharma
is the son of ex-MLA
Bhanwar Lal Sharma.
This seat has been lying
vacant since BL Shar-
ma’s demise. The Con-
gress Central Election
Committee announced
Sharma’s name on
Wednesday. He will file
nomination papers to-
day. Anil Sharma is the
Chairman of Rajasthan
State Economic Back-
ward Classes Board & is
MoS in the Gehlot gov-
ernment. He is also a
PCC member for a long
time. Anil Sharma be-
came the Chairman of
the Municipality in 1980.
He was also the Presi-
dent of Sardarshahar
Block from 2000 to 2018.
He also held various
posts in party. Veteran
Cong MLA Bhanwarlal
Sharma was the MLA
from Sardarshahar for 6
times. He won as Con-
gress candidate 4 times
& became MLA on Lok
Dal, Janata Dal tickets.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: CM Ashok Ge-
hlot said the Raj gov-
ernment would provide
employment opportuni-
ties to youths through
job fairs in every dis-
trict. Expressing happi-
ness over the success of
the job fairs in Jaipur
and Jodhpur, Gehlot
said in a tweet in Hindi,
“I am happy that in the
last seven days, thou-
sands of youths have
got employment
through the job fairs or-
ganised by the Ra -
jasthan government in
Jaipur and Jodhpur.
Gehlot said, “Now we
have decided that job
opportunities will be
given to the youth by
organising job fairs in
every district.”
Aditi Nagar and
Amit Mishra
New Delhi: Rajasthan
incharge Ajay Maken
expressed his willing-
ness to discontinue as
the Raj Cong incharge.
In fact, the shocking de-
velopment has had no
reaction from the new
party President Mall-
ikarjun Kharge. But
What is the meaning of
Maken’s resignation? Is
he really going to get
any big responsibility in
Delhi? Or taking Ge-
hlot’s letter into cogni-
zance, the high com-
mand took the decision
to ‘free’ Maken from Ra-
jasthan? Is the high
command angry with
Maken for the misman-
agement in Rajasthan-
for not handling events
of Sept 25 properly?
These are just some
of the questions that the
Congress men discussed
among themselves on
Wednesday, however, at
present, Maken himself
gave the reason for his
resignation as other big
responsibilities. Al-
though the incident of
Sept 25 has also been
mentioned in the resig-
nation and it seems that
only time will answer all
these questions.
But will Raj Congress
get new in-charge now
and if so, who will this
leader be? The responsi-
bility of Rahul’s Bharat
Jodo Yatra is also to be
handled and right now
names of Sanjay Niru-
pam, Kumari Selja and
BK Hariprasad are in
discussion. Meanwhile,
it is also being said that a
young leader from Cong
may have to pay the price
of ‘loyalty and devotion’!
Word is that now Maken
camp is trying to take
disciplinary action
against this leader but
the ‘loyal leader’ is care-
free and worries none.
Interestingly, Khiladi
Lal Bairwa came out in
favor of Maken and
said, “Maken’s letter is
very painful. Sadly, no
decision has been taken
against indiscipline.
Maken’s concerns and
his duty to party are
well known. He was al-
ways loyal to the Gandhi
family.”
B
hanwarlal Sharma’s brother Shyamlal Sharma will join
the Bharatiya Janata Party today. Shyamlal Sharma
has defeated his sister-in-law Manohari Devi in the last
Panchayat elections. He had stopped his nephew Keshari
Sharma from becoming the ‘
Pradhan.’ Now he will create a
challenge for Anil Sharma.
C
hief Minister Ashok
Gehlot will go to Sard-
arshahar today and attend
the nomination of Congress
candidate Anil Sharma in the
by-election. Gehlot will also
address the Congress meet-
ing in Sardarshahar. Govind
Singh Dotasra and other
leaders will accompany CM.

STORYTELLING - AN EFFECTIVE AND POWERFUL STORYTELLING - AN EFFECTIVE AND POWERFUL
WAY TO CONNECT WITH THE AUDIENCEWAY TO CONNECT WITH THE AUDIENCE
emember the good
old stories of
Vikram-Betaal or
Akbar-Birbal or
stories about
kings, queens as
well as animals
and ghosts, the ones nar-
rated by our grandparents
that have not only re-
mained etched in
our memories but
have been passed
on to the younger
siblings. The origin
of storytelling has
been traced back
to the earliest civ-
ilizations where-
in, groups of people
would gather around and
narrate stories that have
passed down cultural be-
liefs, memories, and ideas.
It is a way of preserving
the culture and beliefs of
a tribe or community and
passing them down to the
next generation. So, what
is a story and why is story-
telling important to us? A
story can be defined as a
narrative, either true or
fictitious, in prose or
verse, designed to interest,
amuse, or instruct the
hearer or reader. Storytell-
ing introduces new words
and enriches our vocabu-
lary, enhances our listen-
ing skills, connects and
keeps us connected with
one’s cultural roots and
fosters imagination and
creativity of mind.
People don’t remember
facts, they remember sto-
ries. It’s easier for us to
recall stories than facts.
Sounds and words
have always fasci-
nated the human
race since the very
beginning. It can take
form through drawings,
paintings, dance or even
puppet shows. Storytelling
is a popular concept that is
used in many fields, such
as media, education, busi-
ness and entertainment
etc. When a story is ‘told’,
it enters the interpersonal
and interactive sphere of
an individual and has a
high emotional, motiva-
tional and social impact.
Storytelling has been the
subject of multidiscipli-
nary study through the
disciplines of theatre and
folklore. Theatre provides
a rich experience that en-
gages the body, emotions
and senses in dynamic
learning.
The art of storytelling.
Successful leaders and
public speakers
throughout history
have understood
and har -nessed the
power of good storytell-
ing. No matter the topic or
the audience, telling a
story instantly engages
your listeners and elevates
your message to an art
form. The major strength
of storytelling lies in con-
necting with the audience
and was effectively ex-
ploited during the perfor-
mance by the artist. Its
purpose is to make the au-
dience see, hear and feel
what the storyteller saw,
heard or felt. Relevant de-
tails, couched in concrete,
colourful language,
are the best way to
recreate the inci-
dent as it happened
and to picture it for the
audience. Good stories
create bridges, real em-
pathic bridges with the
audience.
Essential elements for
staging the story. The key
elements that make up a
story for effective commu-
nication are the Character,
the Plot, the Conflict and
the Resolution. Every good
story has a compelling
central character which is
a connection between the
performer and the target
audience. The plot con-
sists of the events and the
theme which is the central
idea or belief that the au-
thor is trying
to convey in
the story.
The plot en-
compasses an
introduc-
tion, ris-
ing ac-
tion, a
climax, fall-
ing action and a
resolution. The
conflict, i.e. A chal-
lenge or problem
around which the plot is
based gives the story a
purpose or trajectory. The
resolution of the conflict
generally marks the end
and concludes a story.
Why Are Stories Impor-
tant? Stories are central
to human cognition and
communication. We en -
gage with others through
stories, and storytelling is
a lot more than just a
recitation of facts and
events. As human
beings, we are au-
tomatically
drawn to stories
because we see ourselves
reflected in them. We in-
evitably interpret the
meaning in stories and
understand ourselves bet-
ter. But we now live in the
fast-paced information
age, where information,
concepts, and ideas con-
tinuously bombard us
from every direction.
Do stories matter to us
anymore? Yes, the stories
are essen-
tial to hu-
man ex-
istence
and more relevant today
as storytelling creates
connection, constructive
engagement, learning
that sticks, inspiring mo-
tivation, risk-free learn-
ing and is appealing to all
sorts of learners. More
and more organisations
are embracing storytell-
ing as an effective way for
their leaders to influence,
inspire, and teach.
While storytelling has
seen plenty of changes, the
function of storytelling
has stayed the same; con-
veying history, social cohe-
sion, information, news,
art, and entertainment.
Legends, sagas, fairy tales,
and fables have been nar-
rated and these stories are
about history, life and un-
derstanding the world we
live in.
The use of advancing
technologies such as the
printing press, the camera,
the internet, and the use of
social media platforms
have changed storytelling
forever. Digital storytelling
which is a new trend today
includes the idea of com-
bining the art of telling
stories with an assortment
of multimedia, including
audio, video, graphics and
web publishing. Digital
stories often presented in
compelling and emotion-
ally engaging formats are
interactive. Even as tech-
nology presents so many
dynamic opportunities to
create new content, hu-
mans will still crave stories
so we can make sense of
the world and stories will
always matter, now and in
the future also.

hraddha Kapoor shared a
happy picture of herself
while enjoying her food
on Tuesday. The actor
called it ‘plate and pet (stomach)
mein party’.
Taking to Instagram Stories,
Shraddha posted a picture of
herself. She wore a yellow sweat-
shirt with spectacles. She kept
her hair open. She had a plate in
front of her. She smiled while
eating her food with her fin-
gers. Her plate was filled with
rice, curry, sauce, green chilies
and plain papad. The text next
to the picture read, “Plate aur
pet mein party (There is party
on my plate and in my stom-
ach) with three smiling face
with red heart eyes emojis.
Thanks Macha!! (three red
heart emojis) @fazaa_s6.”
M
idi and merry! We are
wearing our hearts
through dresses this party
season and making it all
count feels fruitful. High doses of
sultry rounds are irresistible and
look like Kriti Sanon is aware of
this. Her recently tested looks for
Bhediya’s promotions had star-wor-
thy finishes and there’s so much
you could include in your
style mix. Kriti’s look
was strategised by ce-
lebrity fashion stylist
Sukriti Grover. Get ex-
cited about its details that focus on
pleats, prints of roses, sheer bal-
loon sleeves with an elasticated
hem, a plunging neckline, broad
and ruched detail with a bloomed
3D applique black flower placed at
the center to give it a dreamy allure.

Virat and Anushka
made a stylish appear-
ance at the airport.
The duo was seen winning
hearts with their twinning
game. Anushka sported a
white sweatshirt with
black pants. She also wore
a black hat and rounded
off her look with white
sneakers and a fanny pack.
On the other hand, Virat
too wore a white sweat-
shirt and black pants with
white sneakers and a black
jacket. However, Virat’s t-
shirt caught everyone’s at-
tention. It had the
letter A and a red

it. Meanwhile, Vi-
rat was heard say-

said this after
