Increasing Cash Withdrawal limit for candidates contesting Election deny RBI

There is a qualitative difference between a low-level, tactical raid on minor outposts a short distance from the LoC and a large-scale assault on the headquarters of the organisations that continue to attack India. These are deeper inside Pakistan, closer to major population centres, and far larger in size. They cannot be reached on foot, as was done last week according to the most detailed accounts. While India has some night-flying capability, the introduction of airlift on a meaningful scale presents more severe challenges. India reportedly kept attack helicopters ready at four bases in Kashmir in case the September 28-29 operation turned sour. Would such safety nets be available if commandos were near the Lashkar-e-Taiba’s headquarters in Muridke, 30 km inside undisputed Pakistani territory? “No helicopters, no integration, no intelligence, no training and no operational concept,” claimed Rear Admiral Raja Menon on the morning of the raid. Set aside the braying triumphalism, and it remains too early to conclude that he was wrong. Intelligence on launch pads is not the same as intelligence on the movements of Lashkar-e-Taiba leaders. Airlift to the LoC isn’t the same as getting stealthily across it.

VISAKHAPATNAM: "Six factors would decide India’s march to excellence – multi-tasking and skill development, acquiring problem solving skills, moving global, becoming lifelong learners, increasing participation of women in business, economy and education and finally becoming entrepreneurs," said governor of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, Ch Vidyasagar Rao, while addressing around 1,000 students of GMR Institute of Technology and Sri GCSR College and faculty members at GMR Varalakshmi Foundation (the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of the GMR Group) campus at Rajam, Srikakulam on Saturday. Elaborating on these six factors, the governor said, "One should acquire as many skills as they can while learning. Students should also acquire problem solving skills, which our engineering graduates need besides developing good communication skills. Further, the young citizens should move global or be prepared to work in any country or continent. Around 25 million Indians are spread across 200 countries. Fourth, it’s imperative to become lifelong learners to succeed at the global level. After CV Raman, India hasn’t produced any noble prize winner and we are losing out on research and innovation. One should try to acquire knowledge beyond text books and classrooms to gain a global perspective." "Another important fact is increasing women participation. Even though in eight out of 10 cases, the top gold medal recipients in universities are girls, but when it comes to joining business or teaching, a majority of women lose out. They sacrifice their brilliant career for the sake of families. We have to encourage more women to pursue their career. Survey has shown that companies employing 30 per cent and more female executives earn more profits. Finally, emerging India needs entepreneurs who will produce jobs. We want job creators, not job seekers," averred the governor. "India needs to catch up with the top universities in the world, raise the bar of excellence and achieve global ranking, he said and ended his address asking the audience to conquer the world with talent, intellect, skills and human values." Besides addressing the students, the governor also toured the GMRIT Campus, GMR Varalakshami Care Hospital and Vocational Training Institute. He also spent time with the underprivileged gifted children. Besides the governor, GMR Group Chairman G Mallikarjuna Rao, CEO of Varalakshmi Foundation V Raghunathan, business chairman BV Nageshwara Rao also accompanied the governor. GMR Group Chairman G M Rao, informed, "Through the GMR Varalakshmi Foundation, the GMR Group has undertaken social welfare activities in the area of education, healthcare, hygiene, sanitation, women empowerment, livelihood and community development. The foundation is working in 200 villages across 25 locations in the country and supporting 350 government, around 200 gifted or very poor children, and 180 Balwadis and Anganwadis and has adopted villages. We are spending Rs 45 crore annually on the CSR verticals including health, education and livelihood and community development." "We try to provide jobs for local residents for all inclusive growth. Wherever we set up business, we try to develop social infrastructure and enhance the quality of life of communities around the locations. Our 12 state-of-the-art vocational training institutes, which have provided trainings to about 40,000 under-privileged youth so far and close to 80% of them have been settled and are earning their livelihoods through the technical skills they have learnt. There’s provision to provide vocational training is provided in 42 disciplines depending on the requirement of the particular area," added G M Rao.
