India Test skipper Vi-rat Kohli heaped praise on limited-overs captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday, saying that he would like to acquire the composure and ability to not panic in pressure sit-uations from the iconic wicketkeeper-batsman who led the country to the 2011 World Cup triumph.Kohli, who recently led India to a comfortable Test series-win against visitors South Africa, believes the 2007 World Twenty20-winning cap-tain Dhoni has achieved all milestones in his il-lustrious career. “I would

like to learn more of the composure from Dhoni. Also his ability to not pan-ic in pressure situations is something I would like to take from him. The World T20 win in 2007 was the launch of Dhoni as a leader. The way he led the young bunch of play-ers like Rohit Sharma, S. Sreesanth and others was really praiseworthy. From there on, he became the big figure of captain not only in India but also in the world,” Kohli said at a function where the schedule for the Interna-tional Cricket Council (ICC) World Twenty20 2016 was announced.

team from Group A will join India, Pakistan, Aus-tralia and New Zealand in Group 2 of the Super 10s stage, while the top-placed team from Group B moves to Group 1. The opening match of the Super 10s stage will be played between India and New Zealand on March 15 in Nagpur. The hosts will then play Pakistan on March 19, the qualify-ing team in the group on March 23 in Bangalore and Australia in Moha-li on March 27. The top two sides from each of the Super 10s groups will move into the semi-finals. The semi-finals of the men’s and women’s tour-naments will be played in Delhi and Mumbai on March 30 and 31 respec-tively, with the finals in Kolkata on April 3. Paki-

This will avoid a scenario where Pakistan play in Mumbai, where a local political party, the Shiv Sena, has for several years “banned” Pakistan matches in that city. The most recent protest was in October, when Shiv Sena held protests at the BCCI office in Mumbai over talks between the India and Pakistan boards for a proposed series. Following the protests, the ICC withdrew Aleem Dar from the last two ODIs of the South Afri-ca series [the fifth match was held in Mumbai] and

Their matches against England and South Africa will be played in Delhi on March 26 and 28 re-

The 10 teams in the women’s competition have been split into two groups. Three-time cham-pions Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Ireland are in Group A, while Group B features England, West Indies, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPoliticians must reform the civil services, Voters are changing politics

The latest pay commission report was a disappoint-ment. Any organisation that cares about performance would be delusional to carry out a compensation review without a simultaneous review of organisa-tion structure and human capital. But a commission member felt “such a review falls well beyond the mandate of this commission”. Even if that is literally true, most impactful mandates are not given physi-cally but taken spiritually; the most exasperating but perhaps most common response of civil servants is “above my pay grade” and “outside my job descrip-tion”. We currently treat our best bureaucrats badly because we don’t punish bad ones; our government has become too big for small things and too small for big things; and the state is unable to deliver on its own intentions. Blaming India’s bureaucracy for all this is silly. India and Pakistan, born on the same night, have had very different democratic destinies for many reasons, but one of them has been our na-tional civil service cadre (notables include V.P. Me-non for the integration of princely states and Suku-mar Sen for our first election). On the other hand, India and China, with the same per capita GDPs in 1970, have had very different economic, educa-tion and health destinies for many reasons, but one of them has been the monopoly of the permanent, generalist civil services. The only job of the civil services is execution, but not only is the bureaucra-cy’s collective performance on that narrow metric painful, many bureaucrats don’t have the speciali-sation to deliver the 12 projects detailed in Nandan Nilekani’s wonderful new co-authored book, Re-booting India. Further, the notion that bureaucrats must protect India from its politicians is wrong and not dissimilar to academic Daniel Bell’s case in his recent book, The China Model, that choosing country leadership without elections delivers superior policy outcomes. The book is interesting but irrelevant. In a democracy, policy is a child of politics. The first av-atar of India’s bureaucracy was the Indian Civil Ser-vice (ICS), which Subhas Chandra Bose refused to join because “the ICS perpetuates the British empire” and Jawaharlal Nehru felt “was neither Indian nor Civil nor Service”. The second avatar began after In-dependence. Sardar Patel convinced Nehru of the im-portance of a “uniform national administrative struc-ture with considerable central control”. Ironically, assimilating 562 British franchise operations — the princely states — along with Partition made a system designed to control 300 million subjects seem like the right configuration to govern 300 million citizens.

The compa-ny, which is rapidly expanding its model line-up and volumes, said in August that it aimed to build a plant at the western Slovak town of Nitra with an annual output of up to three lakh cars.

By the time the last bout between Punjab’s Jar-galsaikhan Chuluunbat and Levan Berianidze of Mumbai got over, the KD Jadhav stadium had fallen silent. Full un-til then, the number of spectators in the stands kept receding. In the end, only the wrestlers, organisers and a handful of journalists were pres-ent at the arena. But, this wasn’t the lowest point of the evening. The Pro Wrestling League, which

was supposed to usher in a new era for the sport began on a disappointing note. Barely 19 seconds into the first bout of the day, the referee blew the whistle, asking Vladimir Khinchegashvi and Ra-hul Aware to stop. The players, stunned, trudged to their corners only to return five minutes later to restart the bout. If that was not enough, the or-ganisers had a hard time when the clock malfunc-tioned during the last bout forcing the players to stop. “We had every-

thing in order. No one is allowed in the field of play and it was all fine. The first bout was restarted for some tech-nical reason. You have to ask the wrestling fed-eration for that,” Kar-tikeya Sharma, CMD, Pro-Sportify Ltd, which started the PWL, ar-gued. But by the time the first bout was won by Punjab’s Vladimir, the crowd had forgot-ten all the problems and cheered for the players and the wrestlers didn’t disappoint them either.

drama and suspense, as the two sides clawed each other for ascendan-cy. The final verdict was like any other ICC ODI World Cup. India were the winners. Sadly, that is it, in terms of the ex-citement of the two sides meeting. Simply because they haven’t played at home since. There is no doubt that there would be a fair sprinkling of ex-citement were these two sides to play in India. Playing in Pakistan is out of the question now,

so any real series would have to be in India. But would that hold the same excitement as before? One would venture to say no. It just is not the same any more. There was a time when each of these matches was an event in itself. The two countries stood still, as they wait-ed for a win. But then it became a classic case of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. The av-aricious officials of the cricket boards of both countries wanted more.

Chou Tien Chen. The 22-year-old from Guntur will meet Chinese Taipei’s Chou Tien Chen tomor-row in his final Group B match in the round-rob-in stage. In the women’s singles match that saw a lot of vociferous cheering and vocal celebrations and pumping of fist, it was Saina who walked away with a smile on her face. Saina came out with a positive attitude and it reflected in her game as she used her repertoire of strokes to tame her for-midable opponent, who was not as nimble-foot-ed as Okuhara and also committed too many er-

rors on her forehand. In the opening game, Saina led 9-4 but she misjudged a couple of shots and Marin too stepped up the pressure by dominating the net to grab the lead with six straight points. However, Saina ensured she had the advantage at the break. Marin tried to keep the shuttle at the forecourt by drawing Saina close to the net and marched ahead to 15-12. Saina fought back and wrested control at 16-15 when the Spaniard hit the net. Saina continued to surge ahead with Marin succumbing to unforced errors, reaching 19-16.

The Supreme Court has stayed the Gujarat high court’s order by which the Taj Group’s luxury re-sort which falls in the Gir sanctuary , the last abode of the Asiatic lion, was sealed. With the stay on the HC order, Hotel Taj Gateway can now start functioning, at least till the final decision by the apex court on the issue. This hotel was closed during a sealing drive car-ried out in March-April at the high court’s instance because most hospitality units around Gir sanc-tuary were functioning in gross violation of the eco-tourism policy . The HC refused to un-seal it when the hotel man-agement approached it on April 13. They hence moved the apex court. Experts believe the SC’s intervention and relief

to the luxury resort run by Indian Hotels Com-pany Ltd has paved the way for other hospitality units facing action for vi-olation of norms to also seek redress. They may approach the high court citing the SC order and claim relief by requesting the court to direct author-ities to remove the seals on numerous rooms in guest houses across three districts. When the HC was intimated about the apex court’s order, the division bench of Acting Chief Justice Jayant Patel and V M Pancholi asked additional advocate gen-eral Prakash Jani to find out whether the proceed-ings should be stalled till the SC reaches a final conclusion in this case. The HC has deferred pro-ceedings till next month. In this case, the Centre gave land to the state gov-ernment in 1971.

Just 40 km away from industrial town of Ankle-shwar in south Gujarat lies the vast abandoned cavernous Vastan lignite mine spread over 1,500 hectares towards the edge of Cambay basin collo-quially referred as Kham-bat. It is here that a team of scientists extracted a treasure trove of over 200 teeth and bones of an ani-mal which is the ancestor of all horse breeds includ-ing the finest -- Akhal-Te-ke, Appaloosa, Mushtang and even the Arab horses.

The Gujarat education department has opened the reserved seats of vidy-asahayaks or teaching as-sistants for the general category candidates in government schools other than those of Gujarati me-dium. The department has already invited online ap-plications from the gen-eral category candidates. The move is seen as an attempt to give another opportunity to the general category candidates who have have been complain-ing they are not selected for the job, despite clear-ing the teachers eligibility test (TET), due to decline in number of posts and a large number of seats be-ing reserved for other cat-egories. Ahmedabad and several other cities have witnessed either closing down or merger of several schools due to less enrol-ment. However, this sec-

Rajya Sabha MP from Gujarat and senior Con-gress leader Shri Ahmed Patel has in a letter to union civil aviation min-ister Shri Ashok Gajap-athi Raju raised several questions regarding the government decision to hand over the opera-tions and management of Ahmedabad and Jai-pur airport to Changi Airport International vide a Memorandum of Understanding with the Singapore Corporation Enterprise, which was signed during the Prime

Minister Narendra Mo-di’s Singapore visit last month. In his letter to Raju, Ahmed Patel said, “Surprisingly on 20th August the govt decid-ed to abruptly cancel the entire process of compet-itive bidding for the op-eration, management and development of Ahmed-abad, Jaipur, Chennai and Kolkata airports and subsequently via a govt to govt MoU decided to award the same mandate to a foreign operator for Ahmedabad and Jaipur airports.” “India’s policy on airport infra has en-

couraged an open, con-sultative and competitive model of public private partnership which pro-tects the interest of the Airport Authority of In-dia and at the same time promotes private partic-ipation. The successful redevelopment of Del-hi and Mumbai airports were based on this pol-icy.Hence I find it sur-prising that without any explicit change in policy the govt bypassed due to process and has abruptly selected an operator to manage two of India’s most important airports.

ond opportunity to gen-eral category candidates comes with a clause. The department has opened the posts with a condition that when eligible candi-dates in reserved catego-ries are available, the gen-eral category candidates appointed against these vacant seats will have to vacate their posts. Nearly 1,000 posts in lower pri-mary and upper primary government schools are lying vacant for over two

years under the reserved categories. The major-ity of these posts are in Hindi medium schools, both in upper and low-er primary government schools. This is followed by Marathi and Urdu medium upper primary government schools. The reason cited by the de-partment for not filling these seats is non-avail-ability of eligible candi-dates in various reserved categories, including

Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Physically Handicapped (PH) and Socially and Economically Backward Classes (SEBC). Though in the case of Urdu me-dium schools, the depart-ment justified the move by claiming that there is no SC, ST in Muslims who generally apply for these posts, for the oth-er mediums it claimed non-availability of eligi-ble candidates.

Special Investment Re-gion Act. They sought the court’s direction to declare the SIR Act, 2009, unconstitutional. They also prayed for di-rections to restrain the government from tak-ing farmers’ land. As per Section 17 of the Act, the government can implement ‘Gujarat Town Planning and Ur-ban Development Act’ through which it can take away 50 per cent of farmers’ land with-

out any compensation. Besides, the petitioners claimed that through this act, the powers of village panchayats have been restricted to their village boundaries. On the other hand, the state government argued that this project is in interest of the nation for which the central government has already earmarked Rs 2,784 crore.
