NATIONAL DAILY FOR THE PEOPLE
Entrance exams to medical institutions in TN
Fresh attempts to reintroduce NEET
infringes State’s rights, CM apprises PM
Chennai, Oct 8:
Chief Minister
Jayalalithaa brought to
the notice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on
the fresh attempts of the
Centre to re-introduce
National Eligibility-cumEntrance Test (NEET),
infringing upon the State’s
rights and admission policies to medical institutions in Tamil Nadu.
In her letter to the
Prime Minister, Jayalalithaa recalled the consistent opposition of Tamil
Nadu towards the introduction of NEET, having
taken the issue to the
Supreme Court, which
found it ultra vires of the
Constitution and quashed
it.
Jayalalithaa said that it
was shocking when the
Centre instead of abiding
by the Judgement went
ahead with the review
petition and disturbing are
the media reports that a
recommendation has been
given by the Medical
Council of India to the
Centre.
Text of Jayalalithaa’s
letter to PM:
“You may recall that
the State of Tamil Nadu
has consistently opposed
the introduction of the
National Eligibility cum
Entrance Test (NEET) for
admission to the Under
Graduate and Post Graduate Medical and Dental
courses. I had also written
to the then Prime Minister
on 30.7.2011, 7.9.2012
and 30.9.2012 conveying
the opposition of Tamil
Nadu to the proposed
introduction of NEET.
We had also taken up
this issue in the Supreme
Court.
In a landmark judgement of the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India on 18th July, 2013,
the Notification by the
Medical Council of India
and the Dental Council
of India introducing a
National Eligibility cum
Entrance Test (NEET) for
the Under Graduate and
Post Graduate Medical
and Dental courses was
found ultra vires of the
Constitution and quashed.
This finally brought to an
end a long pending and
vexatious issue relating to
a policy by which students aspiring for Medi-
TN students are
confused, frustrated
cal and Dental seats at
the Under Graduate and
Post Graduate level had
to go through the agony
of an uncertain selection
process which militated
against their interest and
the interests of the State
of Tamil Nadu. The
majority judgement has
rightly upheld all the
valid objections raised by
Tamil Nadu.This judgement of the Hon’ble
Supreme Court was also
widely welcomed.
Centre did not heed
SC verdict
However, instead of
abiding by the judgement
of the Apex Court, the
Government of India went
ahead with the Review
Petition of the judgement in the Supreme
Court. I had written to
the then Prime Minister
on 28.7.2013, asking the
Government of India
to withdraw the Review
Petition and abide by the
Supreme Court Judgement.
You may recall that I
had urged you to review
the stand taken by the
UPA Government and
withdraw the Review
Petition and abide by the
decision of the Supreme
Court in the Memorandum submitted by me
on 3.6.2014.
To my surprise, reports
have recently started appearing in the media that
the Medical Council of
India has given a recommendation to the Government of India, seeking in-
troduction of a Common
Entrance Test and that
the Government of India
is actively considering it.
This has again created
confusion and frustration
in the minds of thousands
of students of Tamil
Nadu, who have already
been covered by a fair
and transparent admission
policy laid down by the
Government of Tamil
Nadu, which has been
working well.
Slew of measures by TN
In my earlier letters, I
had already pointed out
that, the Government of
Tamil Nadu had taken a
number of steps starting
from 2005, and only after
careful consideration later
abolished the Entrance
Examination for professional Under Graduate
courses. My Government
has taken the consistent
stand that rural students

Modi launches frontal attack
on Lalu, bombards Cong,
JDU grand alliance
Patna, Oct 8:
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi today raised the
development pitch saying
it is the first time that
elections in Bihar will
be based on the idea of
growth and progress for
the youth while addressing
a public rally in Munger.
“People across the country praise Bihar. Today,
the youth of Bihar have
taken things forward. People know everything and
Bihar’s youth will also
reply to their arrogance,”
Modi said ahead of the
first phase of the elections
on October 12.
“There have been
around 4,000 incidents
of kidnapping in Bihar
under the Jungle Raj. In
these elections, there is the
jungle raj on one side and
vikas raj on the other. No
one wants the jungle raj
again,” he said.
PM Modi took a jibe
at the Grand Alliance or
Mahagathbandhan formed
by RJD chief Lalu Prasad
and JD(U)’s Nitish Kumar
and the Congress party
saying they looted Bihar
for 60 years and have now
formed the “mahaswarthbandhan”.
“JP Narayan ji died on
October 8, 1979. And it
was the Congress which
had sent him to jail, that
is where he got sick which
led to his death. People
who used to talk about
Ram Manohar Lohia’s
ideology are now drinking Congress’ water and
abusing us,” he said.
Modi attacked Lalu
Prasad Yadav over his
comments on beef saying
the RJD chief insulted the
Yadav community by commenting on what they eat.
“Lalu ji, elections come
and go, but it is the
people that stay with you,”
he said.
Targetting the chief
minister, he said Kumar
failed to keep his promise of providing the state
with electricity throughout
the day. He also said no
one else has the ability
or the intention to spend
the money allotted to the
people of Bihar.
“Bihar needs development and the development
will come with the Rs
1.65 lakh crore package.
Give us a chance and reject those who reject the
development package.”
Modi will also address
rallies in Samastipur, Begusarai and Nawada later
in the day.
The BJP plans to virtually carpet-bomb rivals in
Bihar with Modi slated to
address a slew of rallies
as he leads the party’s offensive in the high-stakes
election that analysts see
going down to the wire.
Modi has already held
half a dozen public meetings in the eastern state
and is scheduled to address at least 22 more
for the crucial polls, surpassing his record of 27
rallies ahead of last year’s
Maharashtra election.
Caste-riddled Bihar is
likely to present a tough
challenge for the BJP-led
coalition, political observers say, as it prepares to
take on the grand alliance.
A win will boost Modi’s
bid to push crucial reforms legislation through
Parliament as state elections allot seats to the
Rajya Sabha where the
ruling combine is in a
minority.
Modi will hold two
rallies in Sasaram and
Aurangabad on Friday
where polling will be held
on October 16.
Modi will stay overnight
in Patna on Thursday for
a review meeting with
the core group of Bihar
BJP leaders. It is rare on
part of the Prime Minister
to spend the night in a
poll-bound state and reflects the importance that
he attaches to the Bihar
election, party leaders say.
Bihar will elect a new
243-member assembly in
staggered polls, to be held
between October 12 and
November 5. The counting
of votes will be held on
November 8.
Jayalalithaa orders Rs three-lakh
assistance for Bhavani Devi
Chennai, Oct 8:
Chief Minister
Jayalalithaa ordered financial assistance of Rs three
lakh to promising fencing
talent, C A Bhavani Devi,
towards pursuing her
Olympic goal.In her official release, Jayalalithaa
said that heeding to the
request of Bhavani Devi,
she is pleased to grant
the amount which would
help her participate in the
forthcoming international
competitions in Venezula
and France, while extending her wishes for a
profitable outing.
Jayalalithaa said that
participating in the two
events will help Bhavani
a long way in her preparation for the ultimate
goal of Olympic gold at
Rio de Janeiro next year.
Extends her wishes to realise the
dream of Olympic fencing gold
Jayalalithaa said she is
happy to know the career
strides of the talented
Tamil Nadu girl, having
excelled with a silver in
the sabre category of the
Asian under-23 championship in Philippines
to go with the bronze
medal at the Mongolian
capital Ulan Bator international championship
recently. “Not just these
alone, Bhavani has won
several medals at the
Commonwealth junior
competitions, consistency
being the hallmark in her
growing strides.”
In her endeavour that
Tamil Nadu be the forerunner among other States
in sports, Jayalalithaa has
been extending scores of
welfare measures at every
stage and turn to give
a boost to the budding
talents.
The construction of
various sports stadiums
in record time to facilitaate holding international
competitions like South
Asian Games and Champions Trophy hockey,
financial aid to sports
persons towards participation in international
competitions, setting up
indoor stadiums, holding
international events at
Tamil Nadu and enhancing the seats for sports
persons in engineering
colleges, were among the
many successful schemes
initiated and implemented
by Jayalalithaa, winning
unstinted praise from all
quarters.
Health Minister seeks cooperation
of all to prevent dengue fever
Chennai, Oct 8:
Gearing up to prevent
the dengue disease, Tamil
Nadu has taken several
measures all over the
State. Post his review
meeting with four District
Collectors and officials at
Karur, Minister for Health
C Vijaya Baskar said
that due to the vagaries
of North East monsoon,
preventive measures are
being taken through the
coordinated efforts of
Medical, Municipality
and Rural Development
departments.
The Minister said that
thrust was on prevention
of diseases like viral
which spreads faster and
the officials concerned
were apprised of the
imperative need of taking preventive measures
at war footing and the
need to create awareness
among the people that
the disease is curable and
the medical assistance is
within the reach of all.”In
Tamil Nadu, there were
13,000 dengue cases in
2012 and 6,122 cases in
2013 with the number
coming down drastically
to 1,000 last year.
We have asked officials to step up action
so that we get nil

FC Goa manages draw
with Atletico de Kolkata
Margao, Oct 8:
Defending champions
Atletico de Kolkata defended doggedly with 10
men as they held FC
Goa to a 1-1 draw in
the Indian Super League
football encounter.
While ATK struck in
the 13th minute through
a spectacular Arata Izumi
volley, it was Keenan
Almeida’s cracking right
footer that restored parity
for Zico’s men in the 81st
minute in an ill-tempered
match.
Both ATK and FC Goa
now have three points
from two games with a
win and a draw to show
for their efforts.
ATK’s Baljit Sahni
was shown the first redcard of the season after
head butting opposition
defender Gregory Arnolin
bringing memories of
the last season when the
latter was involved in an
identical incident with the
then ATK striker Fikru
Teferra.
It was a match that
was dominated by the
Goan outfit as they created more opportunities
throughout the match but
in the end were able to

manage only a point.
While Japanese of Indian origin Arata, who
has played for the Indian
national team won the
man of the match for his
goal, the best player on
the turf was FC Goa’s
left-half Jofre Mateu, who
was like a livewire with
his assists and pinpoint
crosses.
It was ATK who got
the lead in the 13th min-
ute against the run of
play. Winger Javi Lara
floated one from the wide
right inside the box for
Iain Hume.
Before the Goa defence could get their
shape right, Arata came
from behind with reflex
snap volley that beat
a diving goalie Elinton
Andrade.
However that was the
only positive move that
ATK managed as FC Goa
came back with a lot of
vigour.
Skipper Lucio was seen
on the overlap while Jofre
fed some great balls for
Reinaldo and Le Moura
upfront.
However Oftense Nato
and Denzel Franco had a
great game at the back
as they foiled their bid
to score in their defensive
third.
Kerala girls end Tamil Nadu’s unbeaten run
in Junior National Basketball
Ludhiana, Oct. 8:
Day 6 of the 66th
Junior National Basketball Championship at
Ludhiana, Punjab had
the pre-quarterfinals and
quarterfinals in store.
Home team Punjab boys
bounced back from the
loss to beat Kerala in
their quarterfinal match.
The first half of the
game was an even contest
and Kerala even took a
slim lead in the third
quarter.
But the fourth quarter
belonged to Punjab as
they outscored Kerala 3616. Rahul Mehla scored
a game-high 27 points
to lead his team to the
win.
The Punjab girls team
also advanced to the
semi-finals defeating Uttar
Pradesh in their quarterfinal game. The game had
a similar story as the
Punjab boys’ quarterfinal,
with the match being
close for the first three
quarters.
But come the fourth
quarter, Punjab girls
switched to a higher gear
and ran away with the
game. Gagandeep Kaur
scored 22 points for her
team as Punjab registered
a 67-54 victory.
Tamil Nadu boys have

also booked a semifinal berth with a victory
against the Maharashtra
boys’ team. Maharashtra
could not produce at the
same level as they did
yesterday evening. Tamil
Nadu shot at the rate of
52% from the field and
their efficient offense
gave them the advantage.
R. Hari Ram had a huge
game with 34 points and
10 rebounds. Tamil Nadu
centre Surya dominated in
the paint and ended up
scoring a double-double
with 29 points and 12
rebounds.
The Maharashtra girls
also ended their campaign
in the tournament with a
loss in the quarterfinal at
the hands of Karnataka.
Karnataka made short
work of their opponent
led by their most consistent players Bhandavya
and Bhoomika. Maharashtra was not able to keep
up with the Karnataka offense and the game ended
with Karnataka clinching
a 60-34 victory to ad-
vance to the semifinals.
Tamil Nadu and Haryana girls won their prequarterfinal matches
against Madhya Pradesh
and Rajasthan respectively to advance to the
quarterfinals scheduled
for later in the day. The
Haryana and Chandigarh
boys also made it to the
quarterfinals beating Uttar Pradesh and Madhya
Pradesh respectively.
Later in the evening,
Tamil Nadu girls, who
advanced from Level 2
to Level 1, faced an unbeaten Kerala side in the
quarterfinals. But a tired
Tamil Nadu side failed
to advance to the next
round. Kerala started the
game strong on a balanced team scoring effort
and withstood a furious
comeback attempt by the
Tamil Nadu girls to clinch
a semi-final spot.
Defending champions
Chhattisgarh girls also
booked a date in the
semi-finals defeating an
undersized Haryana side.
Haryana stuck to its
small ball approach, but
the size and speed of
the Chhattisgarh team
was too much to handle.
Chhattisgarh captain Riya
Verma scored 26 points in
the victory.

Third T-20 today: Will India recover?
S. Thyagarajan
More than the incredibly puerile batting performance and the consequent
pathetic defeat, what is on
debate in India’s reverse
against South Africa at
Cuttack on October 8
are the bottle throwing
incidents that disrupted
the proceedings at the
Barabati Stadium.
No two opinions exist
other than that of India
has been outplayed by
the visiting team in every
department of the game.
There is spontaneous
indignation, perhaps righteous in every sense of
the term, over the behavior of a section of the
crowd. The condemnation
has emanated from every
section of the cricketing
fraternity with the former
Test icon, Sunil Gavaskar,
calling for black listing
Cuttack for a period of
two years. He advocates
a ban on Orissa Cricket
Association from staging
an international match.
Quite understandably, Gavaskar’s view has elicited
a positive and negative
response.
Spectator violence is
nothing new to competitive sports. Instances
are plenty going as far
as 1879 cricket match
at Sydney where two
England cricketers were
roughed up. Call for punitive measures have repeatedly been echoed in the
corridors of administration
both at the national and
international levels. At
the moment of writing,
the BCCI has ordered the
OCA to prepare a detailed
report on the incidents,
which obviously occurred
because of a few security
lapses.
What eventually will be
the end part of this episode is anybody’s guess
at this point but the bottle
throwing incidents have
impaired the image of
Indian cricket.
While the visiting
team’s players who were
on the verge of slipping
into mood of jubilation
based on the trend of the
encounter were stupefied
by the response of the
crowd, India’s captain
Dhoni needlessly played
down the sad development as emerging from
the ‘disappointment’ of
the crowd over the national team’s inept showing.
Even as the debate
continues unabated, the
teams are poised to come
to grips for the third and
final match today at Kolkata, a venue notorious
for crowd disturbances
in the history of Indian
cricket.
For South Africa, this
tie is absolutely inconsequential, with the series
win already tucked into
history. On the contrary,
for India this is a crucial
tie to save the ignominy
of a 0-3 reverse.
Analysts agree that
India’s current T-20 team
is unbalanced and without
depth. Those expected to
strike have failed miserably either out of ignorance to suit the demands
of the T-20 variety or
downright inadequate in
the technique required.
There is concern that
Dhoni, the best suited to
demolish any attack, has
been unable to make an
impression. The captain
explained that by the time
he went to the batting
crease a good part of the
20-overs were already
complete. If that is logical
then why cannot Dhoni
go higher up in the batting order?
If in the first match at
Dharamsala the problem
area was perceived as incompetent bowling despite
a fairly huge total of 199
with a century to boot by
Rohit Sharma, the failure
at Cuttack was on every
count, both batting and
bowling. More than innocuous batting, it is the
abysmal running between
the wickets that has ruined the team. It is one
area that India needs to
pay great attention.
So far Rohit Sharma
with the bat and Ashwin with the ball have
shown some merit to
stem the tide. With number of overs restricted in
the T-20 variety Ashwin
needs a huge support
from the other end either
from a spinner or pace
bowler.
When all is said and
done, it is inconceivable that the Indian team
should perform in this
pathetic manner in front
of its own audience.
Hopefully, Dhoni and
his men will arrest the
sequence of debacles so
that the rest of the long
drawn series remains
competitive enough for
the millions of fans here
and abroad
Everything hinges on
the outcome today at the
famous Eden Gardens.
JMC National ranking (Central Zone) Table Tennis
Kavyashree Baskar of TN
claims Cadet girls title
Jamnagar, Oct. 8:
Kavyashree Baskar of
TN won the Cadet girls
title in the JMC National
ranking (Central Zone)
Table Tennis championships here at the JMC
Indoor Stadium.
Gujarat’s Manush Shah
defeated PSPB Academy’s Jeho Hinakulhpuingheta 4-0 in the
Sub-Junior boys final
to wrest the title. The
Sub-Junior girls crown
went to Maharashtra’s
Manushree Patil, who
beat teammate Swastika
Gosh by a similar verdict.
But both the matches
never measured up to the
standards of finals as the
two won with a lot to
spare. No doubt, there
were a few extended
games in the two finals
but the winners were
never under any threat.
In contrast, the SubJunior Boys semifinals
had some thrills as No
4 seed Manush Shah
defeated top-seed and
South Zone title-holder
AnukramJain 4-2 from
PSPBA while Jeho Hinakulhpuingheta repeated
a similar performance
against Delhi’s Yashansh
Malik. Both the matches
almost went down to the
wire and what was remarkable about Manush’s
win was that he, despite
trailing 0-2, staged a fine
recovery to outsmart his
rival. So dominant was
the Gujarat boy that he
not only took the next
four games, but also won
the fifth and sixth games
with a lot to spare.
The Delhi boy never
had an upper hand in
spite of levelling the
score at 2-2 to keep his
interests alive. But once
Jeho steadied himself
taking the fifth game,
it became easy for the
PSPBA boy.
In the Cadet boys final,
Divyansh Srivastava ran
over Tamil Nadu’s Vishwa Deenadayalan without
a hiccup as he completed
the task in a little over
half an hour to win his
maiden title. Vishwa,
who played brilliantly in
the semifinals, was found
wanting in every department of the game. The
UP boy won 4-0.
It was, more or less,
the same case for Kavyashree from Tamil
Nadu who won her first
crown on the first appearance. The first-year Cadet
girl downed Karnataka’s
Anargya Manjunath 4-1
after leading 2-0. The
sixth standard student
from Tambaram’s MCC
Campus School was too
good on the day and wore
out Anargya.
The latter, who managed
to win the third game,
was never comfortable
against the topspin forehand play of Kavyashree,
who is training under S.
Mohan at Tambaram’s
ENTTA Club, with guidance coming from Maharishi Vidhya Mandir TT
Academy.

HCL, Karbonn launches ‘Golife’
application for rural empowerment
Chennai, Oct 8:
HCL Services Ltd., a
wholly owned subsidiary
of HCL Infosystems Ltd.
(India’s premier IT Services and Distribution
Company) in collaboration with Karbonn, is
launching ‘GoLife’, a new
mobile application for
its feature phone range.
Aligned with the objective
of ‘Connecting the next
billion’, the application
is designed to inform,
involve and empower
the rural and semi urban
population of India.
Built on a user friendly
interface, GoLife will enable the rural population
of India to easily access
market information, get
timely weather advisory
and receive daily tips and
guidance from experts.
The mobile application is
currently focused on three
key sectors - agriculture,
healthcare and education.
All content in the GoLife
application will be available in local languages.
Inexpensive, Eco-Friendly Mushroom Batteries
The current industry standard
for rechargeable lithium-ion battery anodes is synthetic graphite, which comes with a high
cost of manufacturing because
it requires tedious purification
and preparation processes that
are also harmful to the environment. So the researchers at the
California University created a
new type of lithium-ion battery
anode using Portabella mush-
rooms, which are inexpensive,
environmentally friendly and
easy to produce.
UC Riverside engineers were
drawn to using mushrooms as
a form of biomass because
past research has established
they are highly porous, meaning they have a lot of small
spaces for liquid or air to
pass through. That porosity is
important for batteries because
it creates more space for the
storage and transfer of energy,
a critical component to improving battery performance.
In addition, the high potassium salt concentration in mushrooms allows for increased
electrolyte-active material over
time by activating more pores,
gradually increasing its capacity.
A conventional anode allows
lithium to fully access most of
the material during the first
few cycles and capacity fades
from electrode damage occurs
from that point on. The mushroom carbon anode technology could, with optimization,
replace graphite anodes. It also
provides a current-collector free
approach to anode fabrication.
This paper involving mushrooms is published just over
a year after the Ozkan’s labs
developed a lithium-ion battery
anode based on Nano silicon
via beach sand as the natural
raw material. Ozkan’s team is
currently working on the development of pouch prototype
batteries based on Nano silicon
anodes.
The UCR Office of Technology Commercialization has
filed patents for the inventions
above.
ROAR the next
gen garbage robots
Together with universities in Sweden
and the United States, Volvo, the Swedish auto manufacturer is developing these robots, which will
be able to roll, pick up
the waste bins and chuck
the trash into the back
of garbage trucks.
The project is called
ROAR, Robot-based
Autonomous Refuse
Handling. It may have
some sanitation workers
worried, it could be a boon
for garbage truck drivers, who
simply need to pull the lever and
let the robots do the rest.
To bring ROAR to life, Volvo recruited Roboticists from Malardalen
University in Sweden. Students there

they need it”. Commenting on the
product distribution and availability.
Rambhia further added “We have
made an exclusive tie-up with
HomeShop18 to sell the 16GB
variant and the 32GB variant will
be available in the market through
our distributor chain”
Vineet Durani, Microsoft India,
said, “The Panache Air PC allows
any device with a HDMI-sporting
display to have an access to the
premium Windows 10 computing
experience. The product can accomplish just about everything - multimedia entertainment, browsing or
social networking and will appeal
to everyone, not just gadget-lovers.
Our deep engagement and partnership with Panache has enabled us
to reach a larger number of customers in India who are looking
at innovation and value”
Vardhaman Technology has also
made a tie-up with globally recognized logistics firm for shipment of
the product to their customers and
also pick-up for any replacement
requirements.
will help design and build robots that
can move discreetly and efficiently from
house to house and that are strong
enough to pick up heavy bins.
Another Swedish institution, Chalmers University
of Technology, will work
on the overall operating
system for ROAR.
Finally, the Swedish
waste management company Renova will develop a
garbage truck that can accommodate the automated system and,
presumably, carry around the robots
when they’re not hauling trash. The
futuristic project is expected to be ready
for testing by June 2016.
The content on GoLife
application is available in
11 different Indian languages apart from English. Through Karbonn
devices, the application
is presently available in
English, Hindi, Marathi
& Gujarati.
Traditionally, Indian
farmers are constrained
by the lack of timely
access to market information and inadequate reach
of IT/Internet infrastructure. In case of Agriculture, GoLife provides
extensive reach across
22 states with 7000 markets, 8000 blocks, 275
crops and commodities.
Additionally, over 30
ecosystem partners and
40 agriculture experts
will be available to offer
guidance and advice to
the farmers seeking help.
In Healthcare, users can
access real time information across varied topics
like healthy living, parenting advice, mother and
child care etc. In Education, with Learn English,
GoLife offers a functional
English course that helps
users to learn the basics
of the language. In addition the GoLife also
imbibes consumers with
skills in financial literacy,
entrepreneurship, general
knowledge as well as
examination tips.

Tax pacts with Israel,
Vietnam gets cabinet nod
THURSDAY 8 OCTOBER 2015
Merkel’s visit
German Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s visit has
produced a raft of
agreements.
She came to
India at a time
of contrasting
perceptions about
G e r m a n y.
It
earned the world’s
appreciation for
handling Syrian
refugees without
displaying the close
mindedness of some
of its European
Union neighbours.
At the same time,
t h e Vo l k s w a g o n
emission norm
fudging scandal
stripped it off
its sheen as an
ethical practitioner
of international
commerce. Her
interlocutor, Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi also juggles
with contradictions.
The developed
world is banking
on him to make
it easy for their
businesses to set up
shop in India. Rapid
industrialisation is
a l s o o n M o d i’ s
agenda but he has
suffered setbacks
on two important
initiatives — the
GST bill and the
Land Acquisition
bill — but his
frequent diatribes
against the Congress
on foreign soil do
not produce the
congenial ambience
for Parliamentary
cooperation.As
World leaders have
realised the necessity
of converting
every interaction
with Modi into a
memorable photo
opportunity, Merkel
duly arrived with
a 10th century
idol purloined to
Germany from
K a s h m i r. T h e
outcome document
was also sufficiently
padded with 18
agreements but two
are of immediate
and great relevance
to India. The first
is deepening the
partnership in
higher education
to make learning
more employment
oriented. From the
time of Manmohan
Singh, India has
been trying for a
pact to transpose
Germany’s dual
education system
under
which
trainees undertake
apprenticeship while
doing vocational
education.The
second is clean
energy where India
will need Germany’s
assistance to
live up to its
Intended Nationally
Determined
Contribution (INDC)
figures to check
climate change.
G e r m a n y
announced a $1
billion for the solar
sector but India
needs to do more.
For India, there can
be no better partner
for industriallevel clean energy
generation than
Germany which has
completely forsaken
dependence on
n u c l e a r p o w e r.
The Merkel visit
also helped both
sides reaffirm their
political proximity
on expanding the
UN Security Council
but Modi will now
have to live up to
his promise of fasttracking measures to
facilitate investment.
And, that is a much
more intractable an
undertaking than
setting up photo
opportunities.
Promoting his
ambitious ‘Digital
India’ campaign, the
PM said, “It is the
software of India
that will move the
hardware of the
world. “Warming
up to the theme,
Chancellor Merkel
said, “German
engineering and
India’s IT expertise
are fused here in
Bengaluru.”
After three-hourlong talks and
signing 18 deals,
PM Modi had, on
Monday, said, “We
see Germany as a
natural partner in
achieving our vision
of India’s economic
transformation.
German strengths
and India’s priorities
are aligned.”
Rahul unhappy over Modi’s
foreign tours
Patna, Oct 8:
Rahul Gandhi addressed three election
rallies in Bihar and sought to revive the
Congress in its old dens. The rallies
were held in the Barbigha constituency
of Shekhpura district, Chenari constituency of Kaimur district and the
Bachhwara constituency of Begusarai
district.In a scathing attack on the Modi
government, he said: “The BJP has not
fulfilled any of its promises made during the previous Lok Sabha elections.
In over a year, it has done nothing for
the farmers.” The BJP had only widened
the wedge between members of various
communities, he alleged.“Farmers are
committing suicides, but the PM has
hardly taken care of them. He is not
at all concerned about the problems of
farmers and labourers as he remains
surrounded by corporate honchos and
bureaucrats in suit boot and listens
to these people as if only they were
knowledgeable,” he said. He said, “Modi
prefers to go abroad rather than meeting
people here. On the other hand, Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar comes to you.”
The Congress has fielded Ramdev Rai
from Bachhwara in Begusari district,
where he is pitted against CPI’s sitting MLA Awdhesh Rai. In Barbigha,
Congress candidate Sudharshan Kumar
has to wage an election battle against
RLSP’s Shiv Kumar.
For the Chenari seats, the Congress
has fielded Mangal Ram, who is pitted
against RLSP’s Lalan Paswan. Polling
in Bachhwara and Barbigha will be held
on October 12, while Chenari will vote
on October 16.
New Delhi, Oct 8:
As part of the
efforts to enter into tax
evasion agreements with
countries, the Cabinet
today approved protocols
amending tax agreements
with Israel and Vietnam to
include effective sharing
of bank information, a
move aimed at dealing
with black money.The
Union Cabinet approved
the protocol amending
the convention and the
protocol between India
and Israel, for avoidance
of double taxation and
for prevention of fiscal
evasion with respect to
taxes on income and on
capital.
The protocol provides
for internationally
accepted standards for

Farmers “rail roko” hits Punjab
Chandigarh, Oct 8:
Rail services were badly
affected in various parts
of Punjab today as farmers began their two-day
“rail roko” agitation to
protest the non-fulfilment
of their demands and
“anti-farmer” policies of
the SAD-BJP government.
Twenty-three trains
were cancelled in the
Ferozepur division, which
caters to Jalandhar, Amritsar, Bathinda and other
districts in the Malwa
belt, as farmers protested
on rail tracks at 13 locations. Two trains were
cancelled in Ambala division (caters to Ropar and
adjoining areas). Several
trains had to be diverted in both divisions.
The protesters, belonging
to eight farmer bodies,
claimed more than 1,500
union leaders and activists had been detained by
the police over the past
24 hours, though there

What the farmers demand
Rs 40,000 per acre compensation for damages
suffered by cotton growers
Rs 20,000 compensation to each farm labourer
who had suffered due to the agrarian crisis
Rs 4,500/quintal procurement price for Pusa
basmati 1509 and Rs 5,000 for basmati 1121
was no official account.
The police, it is learnt,
started swooping down on
farmer leaders — several
of whom had gone into
hiding — from late last
evening. A large number
of them were detained
while they were proceeding towards rail tracks today.Sukhdev Singh Kokri
Kalan, Bharatiya Kisan
Union (Ekta-Ugrahan)
leader, said the protest
would continue on Thursday. He said any decision
on intensifying the agitation would also be taken
on Thursday. In Ludhiana, Deputy CM Sukhbir
Badal accused the union
collection “Kahin Nahin Wahin”,
voiced displeasure over the Dadri
lynching incident and a string
of killings of rationalists, while
questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s continued silence
on the issues.”Sahgal was right.
He is a very loquacious Prime
Minister. Why doesn’t he tell
the nation that the pluralism of
this country will be defended at
every cost?” Vajpeyi said.The
74-year-old Hindi poet, essayist
and noted critic on literary and
cultural matters, disapproved of
statements by senior political
leaders, including Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma
which, he said, “belittled the
multi-cultural and multi-religious”
leaders of misguiding the
farmers. “It is painful
that some farmer unions
are politicising issues related to farmers for petty
gains. CM Parkash Singh
Badal is concerned about
the farmers and will address their problems,” he
said. The blockade took
place at Chand Bhan
(Faridkot), Khudi Kalan (Barnala), Lehragaga
(Sangrur), Rampura (Bathinda), Shergarh (Bathinda), Pathrala (Bathinda),
Mansa, Dagru (Moga),
Mahuwal (Ferozepur),
Lohian (Kapurthala) and
Jhok Tehal Singh (Ferozepur).

Diversity is
our core strength,
says Pranab
New Delhi, Oct 8:
President Pranab Mukherjee said the core values
of diversity, tolerance and plurality of Indian civilisation must be kept in mind and cannot be allowed
to be wasted, in remarks that come against the
backdrop of the Dadri lynching over rumours of
beef eating.
“I firmly believe that we cannot allow the core
values of our civilisation to be wasted and over the
years the civilisation celebrated diversity, promoted
and advocated tolerance, endurance and plurality.
These core civilisation values keep us together over
the centuries.
Many ancient civilisations have fallen. But that
is right that aggression after aggression, long foreign
rule, the Indian civilisation has survived because of
its core values and we must keep that in mind. And,
if we keep those core values in mind, nothing can
prevent our democracy to move,” he said.
Hindi poet returns Sahitya award
New Delhi, Oct 8:
Hindi poet and literary heavyweight Ashok Vajpeyi today
returned the Sahitya Akademi
Award, joining a parade of litterateurs renouncing their coveted
prizes, as a mark of protest
against the increasing assault on
“right to freedom of both life
and expression”.Vajpeyi’s decision came close on the heels
of celebrated writer Nayantara
Sahgal yesterday returning the
Sahitya Akademi Award over “vicious assault” on “India’s culture
of diversity and debate” and the
“right to dissent”.Vajpeyi, former

disappointment over the failure of the Sahitya Akademi to

Sahitya Akademi has failed to

Bonus cleared for
Rly employees
New Delhi, Oct 8:
Deepavali came early for over 12.50 lakh nongazetted Indian Railway employees as the government today cleared the payment of productivitylinked bonus equivalent to 78 days of wages for
the financial year 2014-15.
The decision was taken at the meeting of the
Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In the other decision taken at the meeting,
the government also approved the setting up of
three new All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences
(AllMS) at Nagpur in Maharashtra, Manglagiri
in Andhra Pradesh and Kalyani in West Bengal
under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojna
(PMSSY).
This involves financial implication of Rs.4949
crore.The Cabinet gave its ex-post facto approval
for circulation of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) and agreement on cooperation in
the field of sports signed with Kazakhstan and
Turkmenistan.
This MoU was signed in July, 2015.
The financial implication of the bonus to nongazetted railway employees is estimated to be Rs
1,030.02 crore.The government was hopeful that
the bonus would motivate employees to improve
the financial position of the public transporter.
An official statement said: “Highest productivitylinked bonus amount of 78 days’ wages was paid
for the financial years 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13
and 2013-14.
This year also bonus equivalent to 78 days’
wages will be paid considering the good financial
performance which is expected to motivate employees for working towards improving the same
in future.”The government has prescribed a ceiling
of Rs 3,500 per month on wage calculation for
the payment of the bonus.
“The maximum amount payable per eligible
railway employee is Rs 8,975 for 78 days,” the
statement said.

3 DNA researchers named
for Chemistry Nobel
London, Oct 8:
Three scientists from
Sweden, the United States
and Turkey won the 2015
Nobel Prize for Chemistry
on Wednesday for working out how cells repair
damaged DNA, providing
new ammunition in the
war on cancer.
Detailed understanding of DNA damage has
helped drive a revolution
in cancer treatment as
researchers develop new
drugs that target specific
molecular pathways used
by tumour cells to proliferate.Tomas Lindahl,
Paul Modrich and Aziz
Sancar won the prize
for “mechanistic studies
of DNA repair”. Their
work mapped how cells
repair deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA) to prevent
damaging errors from
appearing in genetic information.In many forms
of cancer, one of more
of these repair systems
is broken. “Their work
has provided fundamen-
tal knowledge of how a
living cell functions and
is, for instance, used for
the development of new
cancer treatments,” the
Royal Swedish Academy
of Sciences said.
Thousands of alterations to a cell’s genome
occur every day due to
spontaneous changes and
damage by radiation, free
radicals and carcinogens
- yet DNA remains astonishingly intact.To keep
genetic materials from
disintegrating, a range of
molecular systems monitor and repair DNA, in
processes that the three
award-winning scientists
helped map out. “It’s important for cancer prevention and cancer treatment.
That is what I received
it for,” Sancar, who has
US and Turkish citizenship and is a professor at
the University of North
Carolina, told Reuters by
telephone from his home.
Sancar said he had been
inundated by calls but
his immediate plans were
to shower, shave and go
to his lab.Modrich, a
researcher at the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute and Duke University
School of Medicine in
the United States, told
Reuters he received the
news while on vacation at his cabin in
New Hampshire and was
completely taken aback.
In fact, he did not get
the word from Stockholm
until around 8 am ET,
more than two hours after
the initial announcement.
Modrich, whose work led
to an understanding and
diagnostic tests for the
most common form of
hereditary colon cancer,
has previously told how
he was inspired by his
biology teacher father,
who said: “You should
learn about this DNA
stuff.” That was in 1963,
the year after the Nobel
Prize was awarded for the
discovery of the structure
of DNA.
The 8 million Swedish
crowns ($969,000) chemistry prize is the third of
this year’s Nobels. Previous winners of the chemistry prize have included
Ernest Rutherford, Marie
Curie and Linus Pauling.
Kurtas or T-Shirts ..!
sport such casual wear. It's like
you've been wearing formal wear
throughout your life, white shirt
matching brown pant matching
maroon tie, shirt tails packed
neatly into flat tummy, and one
day when flat tummy ain't no
more flat, tie, shirt and pant are
thrown aside and on comes the
T- shirt.
"What size sir?" asks man at
sportswear store.
"Large!"
"Might require XL sir!"
"I've always bought large!"
"Ah but it shouldn't be tight
round the stomach should it sir?"
"Let it be!"
And so tight round the belly it
is and loose round the shoulders
and loose round the chest and
so very loose round the neck.
What is it that makes us
middle aged men go in for what
youngsters should be seen
flaunting round in?
Maybe there's nothing else to
wear! I mean here we are finally
taking it easy and wanting to
"He looked awful!" said the
wife returning from the hospital
where she works.
"Who?" I ask.
"Your cousin! The air-force
guy!"
Now since quite a few of my
cousins are in the air- force all
through the example of an over
zealous and patriotic uncle,
many in next generation followed
suit, so next question to wife
was, "Which one?"
"The old one!"
"He retired twenty years ago!"
I tell her, "Why'd he look awful?
Was he sick?"
"He was wearing a T- Shirt!"
"Ah! I say, "He shouldn't be
wearing a T shirt at his age?"
"Nothing wrong with his age,"
says the wife patiently, "He
shouldn't be wearing a T- shirt
with his potbelly!"
There's something about a T
Shirt and a potbelly, the twain
don't mix, and yet I see more
men with bellies wearing one
than those who deserve to
show the world we're taking it
easy and what better expression
to show we're taking it easy than
donning a T- shirt.
What about a kurta?
"Hey cousin, what about
wearing a kurta?"
"I saw your cousin at the
hospital has he joined politics?"
asks the wife the next day.
"Cousin!" I call him later.
"What's it Bob?"
"Get back to your T Shirt,
better you look old and pot
bellied than people think I have
relatives in politics..!"
So it's back to
T Shirts it is, old fat and retired
but what the hell's wrong with

Letter Rogatory to Mauritius
Kejri invites Pak singer to perform in Delhi
to help CBI probe VIP chopper deal
New Delhi, Oct 8:
A special court has
issued a Letter Rogatory
(LR) to the competent
authority in Mauritius to
assist the CBI in its ongoing probe into the Rs
3,600 crore VVIP chopper
deal case, after the agency
said it was required for a
just decision in the matter.
Letter Rogatory is a
formal request from a
court to a foreign court
for some type of judicial
assistance.
Special CBI Judge Ajay
Kumar Jain allowed a
plea filed by the probe
agency in which it had
sought the issuance of a
LR (a letter of formal
request from a court to a
NAME CHANGE
foreign court) for investigation and collection of
documents in Mauritius in
connection with the case.
“Let the LR be issued
to the competent authority, Mauritius for obtaining original/authenticated
documents as given in
annexure-I and recording
statements of witnesses/
persons as mentioned in
annexure-II of the application,” the court said.
The court had on September 24 issued an
open non-bailable warrant
against British national
Christian Michel James,
an accused in the case
who is absconding, after
the CBI said he was
needed for questioning to
NAME CHANGE
ascertain crucial aspects
in the matter.
Former IAF chief S
P Tyagi, his cousins
— Sanjeev alias Julie, Rajeev alias Docsa
and Sandeep, European
middlemen Carlo Gerosa,
Christian Michel James
and Guido Haschke are
among 13 individuals
named as accused in the
CBI FIR.
CBI, in its FIR, has
booked all the accused
under the provisions of
IPC relating to cheating
and criminal conspiracy
and under the provisions
of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
In its FIR, CBI has
alleged that during his
NAME CHANGE
tenure as the Air Chief,
Tyagi, and “with his approval”, the Air Force had
“conceded to reduce the
service ceiling for VVIP
helicopters from 6000
metres to 4500 metres
as mandatory”, which it
was opposing vehemently
on grounds of security constraints and other
reasons.
It had claimed that the
reduction of service ceiling - the maximum height
at which a helicopter can
perform normally - had
allowed UK-based AgustaWestland to get into
the fray as, otherwise
its choppers were not
qualified for submission
of bids.

Organisers of the event had
announced the cancellation after a
meeting with Shiv Sena president
Uddhav Thackeray. The decision
was taken despite a snub to
Shiv Sena by Maharashtra Chief
Minister Devendra Fadnavis who
said adequate protection would be
provided to Ali and that the concert,
organised in memory of late ghazal
singer Jagjit Singh, would be held
according to schedule.
“Ghulam Ali’s programme has
been cancelled. Neither Ghulam Ali
nor any Pakistani artiste will be
performing at the October 9 event,”
organiser Randhir Roy had said.
A source close to Uddhav
Thackeray had told reporters that
the Sena president asked the
organisers to refrain from having
any Pakistani artiste perform at
such programmes.
Reacting to the development,
Ali had said the concert was not
cancelled from his
end.
“Atmosphere is not conducive
for me to perform,” he had said,
adding, he wants Indo-Pak ties to

Sri Vishnu Sahasaranamam
Sloka 6
Origin of Brahma
The manifested world of plurality has emerged
from the unmanifest reality. To indicate this
Brahma the creator is described as being born
from the kamala — lotus springing from Vishnu’s
nabhi (navel) as he is lying on the great serpent,
Ananta in the milky ocean. Hence, his names
Nabhija (navel born), Kanja (water born). His
consort Sarawathi manifested out of him and all
creatures of the world resulted from their union.
According to Manu Smriti, the self-existent
Lord manifested to dispel the darkness enveloping
universe. He created the waters and deposited a
seed that became a golden egg from which he
was born as Brahma. He divided the egg into
two parts to construct the heaven and earth,
and created the ten Prajapathis, mind-born sons,
who completed the work of creation. By a third
account, the Lord separated himself into two
parts, the male and the female after dividing the
golden egg. From him sprang Viraja and from
him Manu.
Ramayana states that Brahma sprang from the
ether and that sages Marichi, Atri, Angiras, Narada,
Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatkumara, Sanasujata and
others are his manasa putras (mentally conceived
sons). From Marichi sprang Kashyapa from
whom sprang Vishwavata who created Manu, the
procreator of all human beings. Thus, Manu is
Brahma’s great grandson.
Brahma, the infinite, the source of all space, time,
causation, names and forms, has many interesting
and instructive designations. Theologically, he is

Policy initiatives will
take a knock
For the Post Graduate
courses, the Government
of Tamil Nadu gives
preference to those who
have served in rural areas,
giving special weightage
to those working in hilly
and tribal areas. The
State Government has also
successfully obtained and
enforced bonds from those
completing Post Graduate
education in Government
Medical Colleges to serve
the State Government for
a minimum period, which
has helped us to meet
the need for specialist
medical manpower in
Government Hospitals.
The introduction of
NEET would nullify the
implementation of these
policy initiatives and
socio-economic objectives
of the State, since we
would have to fall in
line with the regulations
of the National Test,
which did not have such
enabling provisions. The
National Test would be
out of tune with the
prevailing socio-economic
milieu and administrative
requirements of Tamil
Nadu. Despite our strong
and sustained objections,
when NEET was attempted
to be introduced, the
State Government had
taken all legal steps
and after considering
the strong plea of the
Tamil Nadu Government,
the Apex
Court had
vindicated the just stand
of Tamil Nadu and upheld
the rights of the State
Government. The Tamil

at Kapaleeshwar Temple
Chennai, Oct 8:
It was an exuberant
evening at Mylapore’s
Kapaleeshwar Temple last
Friday, as Malar Cultural
Association handed over
the stage to an energetic
and talented team at Kalaikoil. Guru Mutharasi
Ravi showcased a bright
set of students from her
branches in both Royapettah and Kottivakam.
The ensemble consisted
of a handpicked selection
of Tamil songs including
Pushpanjali,
Ganapathy Padam, Natanam Aadinar, Ambal
Stuthi, Palvadiyum Mugham, describing the
beauty of Lord Krishna,
Saravana Bava,
A y y a p a Va r n a m ,
Aananda Natam Aaduvar
Thillai, Sree Chakra Raja,
Vellai Thamarai,
Vishamakara Kanna,
and Tillana, which were
very well received by the
rasikas. Each student
had her moment to
shine with a solo.
Guru Mutharasi Ravi
proved her presence as a
motivating Guru, as she
constantly gave her
students encouraging
smiles while performing
Nattuvangam. Along with
her on the talented
musical support were
Pavithra Maduram on vocal, Sikkil B. Balasubramaniam on violin and S.
Nagaraj on mridangam.
Railway stations in Nilgiris,
picturesque spot for film shoots
M Rafi Ahmed
Ooty, Oct 8:
Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR) and the
stations located on the high ranges of Ooty
continues to hog the limelight for one reason
or the other. Soon after NMR was declared
as ‘World Heritage Site’ by UNESCO in
2005, tourists from across the globe started
to make a beeline to the ‘Queen of Hills’.
Similarly, the railway stations became famous
spots for film shoots while not to speak
of NMR featuring in movies starting from
Kollywood to Bollywood.
Speaking on the sidelines of inauguration
of ‘Nilgiri Mountain Railway Museum’ at
Mettupalayam railway station, Film historian
and former governing council member of
INTACH Rajesh Govindarajulu said that Nilgiri Mountain Railway played a pivatol role
in majority of the films filmed in different
languages and added that the famous song
Chaiyya Chaiyya from the hit film “Dil
Se” with Shahrukh Khan, Manisha Koirala
and Preity Zinta was picturised by director
Mani Ratnam in a moving train with the
stars on the roof top of NMR singing and
dancing. It became the talk of the town
then and was a mega success. Significant
to note that Nilgiri Mountain Railway was
engaged fully by the film team to shoot this
song sequence.
Ooty is the most preferred spot for film
makers from across the country since 60s,
Rajesh said and added that starting from
actor, director and producer Raj Kapoor
to Subash Ghai almost every director had
reaped success picturising song and dance
The colorful set of students of Kalaikoil were
Anupriya Sivakumar,
Rekha Maharajan, V.
Nivetha, B.R.Priyankkaa,
Sakthi Tamil Ganesan, R.
Swamika, R.G.Dashwana,
and
S.R.Keerthiaji. Director
of Malar Cultural Association, R. Srinivasan,
encouraged the immense
efforts of the Guru and
her team.
Kalaikoil Institution was
founded in 1997 by Guru
Mutharasi Ravi and specializes in
Sanga Tamil dance
drama. The Guru’s love
for the art and the Tamil
language was greatly
reflected in the evening
of dance, bringing one
and all to a new state
of bliss.
lington, Coonoor and Ooty railway stations
were the most sought after locales for film
directors and added that Coonoor station
was used as location in David Lean’s film
A Passage to India while Wellington station
always finds a place in most of the films
casting the Indian army or army training
storyline mainly due to the MRC Indian
Army Regiment, Defence Services Staff
College, the Cantonment and the Cordite
Factory located here. And Ketti station was
used as the location for a Malayalam film
Summer in Bethlehem.

Air Force Chief, Air
Chief Marshal Arup
Raha, today announced
that the IAF is planning
to induct women as pilots
to fly fighter jets.Women
pilots have been flying
helicopters and transport
planes for the past two
decades, but combat roles
for them have not been
okayed due to various
social reasons.Speaking
at the Air Force parade
at the Hindon airbase,
some 20 km east of New
Delhi, the IAF Chief said,
“We have women pilots
flying transport aircraft
and helicopters.
We are now planning
to induct them into the
fighter stream to meet
the aspirations of young
women of India”.

other countries, including
Pakistan, have been
drafted to fly fighter
jets, which usually fly
at Mach-1, or the speed
of sound. The jets carry
missiles and bombs and
are the first targets of
enemy air defence guns
and missiles fired from
the ground.
