Programmes started by Arjun will not be scrapped, says Sibal

New Delhi, May 29 (PTI) Programmes in the education sector initiated by previous HRD Minister Arjun Singh will not be scrapped, Kapil Sibal today said as he assumed charge as HRD Minister.
After taking over, Sibal said the policies and programmes started by the HRD Ministry during last five years will be continued with modifications "as required".

"Whatever policy has been started or rules and regulations framed by the previous government will not be scrapped. I respect my predecessor, who is a respectable leader of the Congress," he told reporters.

Sibal, however, said changes were required in the education sector to enable the children and youth to compete with their counterparts at the international level.

"Nothing is static. We have to march forward to be able to compete at the international level," he said.

Sibal said changes are required with respect to curriculum at every stages. "Skill development is our priority. Our youth do not get jobs because our curriculum has not been changed. The curriculum of schools and universities should be upgraded," he said.

Even the IITs, which are considered centres of excellence, need to upgrade themselves with the changing times, he added. PTI

Delhi University has turned down the proposal of several colleges to conduct admission of OBC students centrally on the grounds that the relaxed cut offs for the backward classes has to be decided by the institutes individually.
About seven colleges have approached DU Vice Chancellor Deepak Pental, requesting him to start conducting the admissions for OBC students centrally from this year to make the process more smooth.

At present, admissions for SC/ST candidates are being conducted by the university centrally, an arrangement under which the varsity allots students to colleges on 'preference-cum-merit' basis.

But admission of OBC students is conducted by individual colleges on the basis of relaxed cut-off marks.

The colleges have said they asked for the new arrangement as the present system allows duplication of applications.

The university, however, said OBC admissions are being done by the colleges as the Supreme Court guidelines say that the candidates from this category should not be given a discount of more than 10 per cent from the general cut off.

"As the general cut offs are being decided by the colleges individually, the cut offs for the OBC have to be decided accordingly," a DU official said.

It is an AWACS ALERT!

Obama to stress on better understanding with Muslim world!

The market mood remained upbeat in afternoon trade spurred by advances in the oil & gas space amid reports that oil price deregulation may be on the cards.

My niece KRISHNA has passed PLUS Two exams from New Delhi. My cousin ARUN called me again and again as KRISHNA was insisting to AUSTRALIA for her Higher studies in MARINE Science or OCEANOLOGY. Her Mother JHARNA strongly supported her. ARUN has a residence in PUNJABI AREA JAHANGIRPURA in West Delhi. He is economically sound to send his daughter abroad but he hesitates to break the Cultural barrier!

KRISHNA has been dreaming to study Oceanology since her school days and I am quite AWARE of the DREAMS and Planning of our child. SHE believes that the FUTURE for HUMANITY lies in the DEEP. I endorse her feeling!

But I also do understand the confusion in the mind of my brother.

Krishna is only SEVENTEEN years old and is not Mature enough to cope with Challenges in an alien land.They did not try to groom her at all. She was not aloud to go alone anywhere.Her school was nearby. Arun is not ready to drop the girl into an OCEAN of Uncertainty.

I talked to Krishna on Phone and convinced her for the Mandatory GROOMING!I suggested her to get Admission in JNU or Jamia Milia or Delhi University or Pantnagar for the time being.first she has to groom herself as an INDEPENDENT Personality! We also talked about Apartheid and RACIAL Feelings in AUSTRALIA and elsewhere.

The Girl, luckily, is intelligent enough to be CONVINCED as I advised her not to depend much on Family Connections!

Then the News Broke.First from Vienna and then,from AUSTRALIA.Anti India Apartheid VIOLENCE extends like FIRE!

NUCLEAR ARMAMENT in Pakistan is nothing new.But it is HIGHLIGHTED once again to justify the LONG Shopping List in the Global ARMS Market and the eventual KICKBACKS and Swiss bank Accounts. It also INVOKES Goddess hatred against Pakistan and Muslims in India to CREATE BLIND nationalism.

See the infrastructure of Government of India carefully manufactured to Pursue Mass DESTRUCTION Agenda of tri IBLIS Global Order of Phoenix! SIX Cabinet Ministers to appease the SC communities to break the Bases of Mayawati! Then this hatred campaign to alienate and segregate the Muslims!

Meanwhile , I have Telephonic Talks with Marxist Minister ANIL sarkar and have one to one CONVERSATION with Marxist Leaders and cadres on different level.I have been in touch with friends based in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.I suggested my Social,ECO, human Right Activist Friends to be engaged in GRASS ROOT Level Mass Mobilisation. I told the TRADE UNION Leaders all about the KILLING Plans of the Ruling Hegemony.I talked to Bamcef to change their mode of Social Movement a little bit on the base of PURE AMBEDKARITE Ideology keeping in mind ANNIHILATION Of Caste, Small Holding, Problems of RUPEE and Ambedkars fight to ensure the right to TRADE UNIONS and Right to EDUCATION and Liberation of the Sudra Women!

Then, I suggested my Marxist friends to adjust with delinked with Power politics. Prakash karat has done an EXCELLENT job to save COMMUNIST Movement decoupling it from the RULING Hegemony.Marxists must go back to Ideology and give up CAPITALISM and COLONIALISM!

I know since the Marxists have got all the Trade unions as well as Very Powerful social and Production Organisations,they MUST lead and initiate the RESISTANCE Pending so long against the LPG Mafia. They Must also lead the FIGHT against Globalisation, Disinvestment and DIVESTMENT,Fascism and IMPERIALISM!

We may not succeed to launch any Resistance whatsoever without the INVOLVEMENT of the Marxists who DEVIATED far away from IDEOLOGY and History, Grass Roots and RURAL bases!

Thus, I appeal all Marxists to stand UNITED ROCK SOLID with Comrade PRAKASH Karat!

President Barack Obama wants to give a message that how United States can change to improve its relationship with the majority-Muslim countries and develop better understanding with them when he addresses the Muslim world from Cairo next week.
"I want to use the occasion to deliver a broader message about how the US can change for the better its relationship with the Muslim world," Obama told reporters when asked about his next week's speech aimed towards addressing the Muslim world, a promise he made soon after becoming the President.

That will require, I think, a recognition on both the part of the US as well as many majority-Muslim countries about each other; a better sense of understanding and, I think, the possibilities of achieving common ground, he added.

"I want to emphasize the importance of Muslim- Americans in the US and tremendous contributions they make, something that I think oftentimes is missed in some of these discussions," the US President said.

Earlier, the White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs said a draft of the speech has not been prepared yet.

"We were in meetings about this last night, and I know the President has spent time over the course of the past week with his speechwriters, but a draft has not yet been birthed to the point of - that he's had a chance to look at it," Gibbs said.

India on Friday said the spate of violent attacks targeting its students in Australia should "stop now" and asserted that authorities here should come up with a solution to prevent such incidents from recurring.

Indian High Commissioner Sujata Singh, who met premier of Victoria John Brumby and top police and educational officials of the province, said there is a "racist element in some of the attacks" but many of them were "opportunistic".

"The fact of the matter is that whatever the motive behind the attacks, they seem to be Indian students," she told a crowded press conference in Mumbai.

Observing that the Indian students are seen as "soft targets," Singh said it has been made clear to the Australian government and police that they will have to come up with a solution to prevent such attacks.

"It is my earnest hope that these attacks stop now. And that is precisely what we are all trying to work towards," Singh, who was accompanied by Indian consul general to Melbourne Anita Nair, said.

Australia has recently seen a series of attacks on Indian students, the most serious being the assault of Shravan Kumar, a 25-year-old student from Andhra Pradesh who is battling for life in a hospital here after being stabbed by a screwdriver by a group of teens in a weekend attack that also left three of his friends injured.

Meanwhile,The attacks on Indian students in this Australian city were not racially motivated, an official said Friday, adding "we think they are vulnerable, we don't think it's racial".

Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe said there was no indication that a rise in assaults and robberies against Indian students in Melbourne's west was due to "race hate".

He said there was a perception that Indian people were weak prey for criminals.

"I don't think they are (racist crimes) in general ... more opportunistic activity.

"We think they are vulnerable, we don't think it's racial, we think they are a weak target," Walshe told The Herald Sun.

Walshe said the Footscray Embona Taskforce was working with representatives of Melbourne's Indian community to catch those responsible for the attacks.

Three attacks on Indian students have taken place in quick succession, with the first incident being reported May 9 while the most recent took place Monday.

Sravan Kumar Theerthala, a 25-year-old Indian student who was assaulted Sunday in Melbourne along with three other students, is battling for his life in intensive care unit in a hospital.

Theerthala, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, went to Melbourne to study two years ago.

The attackers allegedly hurled racist abuses at Indian students and hit them with a screwdriver.

Another Indian student Baljinder Singh was robbed and stabbed in Melbourne Monday.

Singh had left a railway station when two men carrying weapons approached him and demanded money. As he searched through his bag to hand over his wallet he was stabbed in the abdomen, Herald Sun reported.

He said: "They just laughed when they stabbed me in the stomach. They laughed at me...I was screaming 'don't kill me, don't kill me'."

Australian police Thursday arrested two teenagers over the beating of yet another Indian student on a Melbourne train.

Sourabh Sharma, 21, was beaten by a group of young men as he travelled on a train May 9, Herald Sun reported.

Sharma suffered a fractured cheek bone and a broken tooth in the attack, which was captured on closed circuit television cameras.

He said he was also racially abused and robbed during the attack.

Now, The Pentagon plans to create a new military command for cyberspace, stepping up preparations by the armed forces to conduct both offensive and defensive computer warfare, a leading U.S. daily reported on Friday.

The military command would complement a civilian effort to be announced by President Barack Obama that would overhaul the way the United States safeguards its computer networks, administration officials said.

Mr. Obama, officials told New York Times, will announce the creation of a White House office — reporting to both the National Security Council (NSA) and the National Economic Council — that will coordinate a multibillion-dollar effort to restrict access to government computers and protect systems that run the stock exchanges, clear global banking transactions and manage the air traffic control system.

White House officials told the paper that Mr. Obama has not yet been formally presented with the Pentagon plan. They said he would not discuss it on Friday when he announces the creation of a White House office responsible for coordinating private-sector and government defences against the thousands of cyberattacks mounted against the U.S. — largely by hackers but sometimes by foreign governments — every day.

But he is expected to sign a classified order in coming weeks that will create the military cybercommand, officials were quoted by the paper as saying.

It is a recognition that the US already has a growing number of computer weapons in its arsenal and must prepare strategies for use — as a deterrent or alongside conventional weapons — in a wide variety of possible future conflicts.

The White House office, said the Times, will be run by a "cyberczar," but because the position will not have direct access to the president, some experts told the paper that it was not high-level enough to end a series of bureaucratic wars that have broken out as billions of dollars have suddenly been allocated to protect against the computer threats.

The main dispute, the Times says, has been over whether the Pentagon or NSA should take the lead in preparing for and fighting cyberbattles. Under one proposal still being debated, parts of the NSA would be integrated into the military command so they could operate jointly.

Officials said that in addition to the unclassified strategy paper to be released by Obama, a classified set of presidential directives is expected to lay out the military's new responsibilities and how it coordinates its mission with that of the NSA, where most of the expertise on digital warfare resides today.

The decision to create a cybercommand, the Times said, is a major step beyond the actions taken by Bush administration, which authorised several computer-based attacks but never resolved the question of how the government would prepare for a new era of warfare fought over digital networks.

Five teenagers held for attacks on Indian students in Australia

Five teenagers have been charged for two separate attacks on Indian students in this Australian city, as an official held the assaults were not racially motivated.
One teenager was charged with attempted murder over the attack with a screwdriver on 25-year-old Sravan Kumar Theerthala who is battling for his life, while four others were charged with brutally beating up Sourabh Sharma, 21, on a train.

"A 17-year-old male from Glenroy was charged with attempted murder after four Indian students were attacked with a screwdriver by gatecrashers at a party in Hadfield, in Melbourne's north, on Saturday night. One of the victims remains in intensive care in hospital," The Age reported on Friday.

An 18-year-old man from Heidelberg West was questioned in relation to the attack but has since been released.

The police have also charged four minors from Melbourne's west over the brutal bashing of Sharma who was going home on a Werribee line train after a shift at KFC, the report said.

The teenagers have been charged with offences including affray, intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and robbery.

However, Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe said there was no indication that a rise in assaults and robberies against Indian students in Melbourne's west was due to "race hate".

He said there was a perception that Indian people were weak prey for criminals.

"I don't think they are (racist crimes) in general ... more opportunistic activity.

"We think they are vulnerable, we don't think it's racial, we think they are a weak target," Walshe told The Herald Sun.

Three attacks on Indian students have taken place in quick succession, with the first incident being reported May 9 while the most recent took place Monday.

Mr. Theerthala, who was assaulted on Sunday in Melbourne along with three other students, is battling for his life in intensive care unit in The Royal Melbourne Hospital.

Mr. Theerthala, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, went to Melbourne to study two years ago.

The attackers allegedly hurled racist abuses at Indian students and hit them with a screwdriver.

Another Indian student Baljinder Singh was robbed and stabbed in Melbourne on Monday.

India to intensify global trade engagement: Sharma

New Delhi (PTI): India will intensify its global economic engagement in sync with the country's profile and the government will take "every possible step" to give a fillip to the industry, new Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said on Friday.

"We shall see to it that in the global context our economic engagement is intensified as it is expected of a country of India's profile," Mr. Sharma said in his first interaction with reporters after being appointed as the Commerce and Industry Minister.

Mr. Sharma, who was Minister of State for External Affairs in the previous government, said he would benefit from his earlier assignment.

"I will benefit from my earlier experiences, particularly from the External Affairs Ministry," he said adding economic diplomacy was a part of the global engagement.

Mr. Sharma, 56, thanked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi for "reposing trust and confidence in (him)"

He said he was taking a "challenging responsibility".

Mr. Sharma is taking charge of the trade ministry at a time when India's exports have suffered a severe setback due to the global downturn.

Also, the economy is growing at a much slower pace. For 2008-09, the GDP growth dropped to 6.7 per cent against nine per cent in the previous fiscal.

Tharoor takes over as MoS External Affairs
New Delhi (PTI): Shashi Tharoor, who failed to become U.N. chief three years ago, on Friday took charge as Minister of State for External Affairs, a portfolio the former U.N. diplomat says he is very happy to be in.

"I am very happy to be here. This is a ministry that I have had very very good, constructive and positive dealings with for many many years and to be part of this is a real privilege" 53-year-old Tharoor told reporters.

He said India has been occupying an important place in the world and that he will contribute in his own way to further strengthen that "honoured place".

"India's place in the world is of great importance.India is a country which for the longest period of time, since the days of Jawaharlal Nehru, has had an honoured place in the world ...and I wish to make my own contribution for strengthening that very honoured place," he said.

Asked whether he will pursue India's case for a permanent membership in the U.N. Security Council, Tharoor who served as Undersecretary General for Communications and Public Information, said the Government has a very clear policy on the issue.

"There are very clear policies of the Government of India on these issues. I certainly hope to be a good and faithful servant of these policies," he said.

Asian markets gain after jump in Japan production

HONG KONG (AP): Asian stocks were modestly higher after Japanese industrial production jumped at its fastest pace in 56 years, in the latest sign recession was easing in major economies.

But trading was tepid as many investors held back because of doubts about how much longer the aggressive run in world stock markets this spring can last. Among the day's best performers were resource producers like oil firms, lifted by stronger commodity prices.

In Japan, industrial output jumped 5.2 percent in April, the government said, as companies raised production following drastic cutbacks because of the unprecedented drop in demand late last year.

It was evidence that manufacturers in the world's second largest economy are starting to heal amid the country's steepest recession since World War II. Still, a rise in Tokyo's market was capped by other reports showed continuing pain for workers and consumers.

Markets could be directionless for now, analysts say, as a hesitancy among many investors to buy more stocks is offset by the massive liquidity brought on by stimulus spending and rock-bottom interest rates around the world.

``We've had such a good run and stocks don't look cheap at this point anymore,'' said Andrew Orchard, Asian strategist for Royal Bank of Scotland in Hong Kong. ``But I think the liquidity is so strong that any bit of good news can get blown out of proportion and support prices right now.''

The Nikkei 225 stock average gained 43.15 points, or 0.5 percent, to 9,494.54 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 82.04, or 0.5 percent, to 17,967.31.

South Korea's Kospi was up 0.1 percent at 1,393.62. Australia's key index both climbed 1.6 percent.

Financial markets in mainland China and Taiwan were closed Friday for a holiday.

In New York Friday, the Dow rose 103.78, or 1.3 percent, to 8,403.80. The S&P 500 index rose 13.77, or 1.5 percent, to 906.83.

Wall Street was poised to give back some of its gains after U.S. futures declined. Dow futures were down 17 points, or 0.2 percent, at 8,367 and S&P futures were little changed at 905.30.

Oil prices pulled back from a six-month high in Asia, with benchmark crude for July delivery down 16 cents to $65.24 a barrel. The contract rose $1.63 to settle at $65.08 overnight, boosted by a fall in U.S. oil inventories and better economic news.

The dollar fell to 96.50 yen from 96.76 yen. The euro was higher at $1.3988 from $1.3939.

No chemicals hub; no Tata money: Mamata Banerjee

29 May 2009, 0547 hrs IST, Mohua Chatterjee, ET Bureau

NEW DELHI: Her new ministerial responsibilities have not dampened her agitational spirit . Even as new ministers were taking oath on Thursday, a

Polls: Worst and best performers

vintage Mamata told TOI that come hell or high water, she would not allow the proposed chemicals hub to come up in Nayachar in West Bengal.

“We are against the chemical hub. It is an environmental hazard. We have learnt that Dow Chemicals, the company which has been blacklisted for the Bhopal gas tragedy, is also involved in the hub. If they have not got environmental clearance, how can we give clearance,” she said, driving another spoke in the state’s industrial revival plans.

The fiesty lady who was responsible for the Tatas moving their Nano car project out of West Bengal, also revealed that she had turned down a poll contribution of Rs 27 lakh sent by the Tatas. ‘‘ The cheque came from a Tata trust with a letter to my Kolkata office address two days ago. We have returned the cheque and will also write a polite letter in reply,” she said.

When asked about this, a Tata spokesman said, ‘‘ The money was indeed offered to Mamata Banerjee by the Tata Electoral Trust. Tatas do not distribute money. Based on the criteria laid down in its mandate, the trust offers money to any party that meets the criteria.’’

In reply to a question on what she would do about the Singur land where the Nano factory was coming up, Mamata said, "Our stand remains the same - have your factory in the 600 acres and give 400 acres back to farmers." She added, "We are not against industry, we want industry and farmers both to flourish, which is what the Left failed to understand."

Asked what she would do for her state with her large contingent of ministers, even if they had MoS portfolios, Banerjee said, "once ministries are announced it will have to be seen how much responsibility is given to the junior ministers and accordingly one can work out how much work can be done for the state. We have asked for ministries which can directly serve the people and our agenda is to do the best we can for the people of West Bengal."

"Expectations may be high but the people of Bengal are also extremely aware, they know unless the state government is changed nothing can be done and what we are doing now is only infrastructure building," was her well thought out but prompt reply.
