The government is considering framing a comprehensive policy for the food sector that would help enhance farmers’ income and provide processed food products to consumers at affordable rates. Ad-dressing a conference of the All India Food Processors Association, Food Processing Min-ister Harsimrat Kaur Badal stressed on the need to further strength-en the linkage of the farms with the market and industry. She em-phasised upon the need to make agriculture a more profitable profes-sion so that farmers are able to raise their in-come levels.

Hitting back at Arvind Kejriwal over the DDCA row, Union finance min-ister Arun Jaitley on Thursday accused him of spreading “false propa-ganda”, saying he seems to believe in untruth and defamation and delivers a language that borders on hysteria. Jaitley also attacked West Bengal and Bihar chief ministers Mamata Banerjee and Nitish Kumar for sup-porting Kejriwal, saying “they need to redeem themselves” by publicly distancing from the Delhi chief minister’s vocabu-

Attacking Kejriwal for the language used by him against Prime Minis-ter Narendra Modi in the wake of CBI searches on an officer in his secretar-iat, he said a state or UT by its “unacceptable con-duct” can also be a threat to federalism. “Free speech is unquestionably a pre-eminent Fundamen-tal Right, but does free speech include the right

eastern corridor that stretches from Boston to Washington spans approx 750 kms is served by the Acela express, which achieves a top speed of about 240 km/hr. This speed is somewhere be-tween the speed proposed for the semi high speed

The sheer suc-cess of the Acela, can be seen in the fact that it has helped Amtrak (the IR equivalent of the Unit-ed States) , enhance its share of overall air/train commuters in the Wash-ington- New York sector from 37% in 2000 to 75% in 2011. The competition even led some airlines to review services between New York and Wash-ington. On the yet lon-ger Boston Washington stretch the Acela today commands a share of ap-proximately 54% of the air and train traffic com-bined. Today the Acelas drive close to 25% of Amtrak Revenue.

tives” against the Prime Minister. Jaitley said Ke-jriwal has questioned the purpose of the search and tried to divert attention by linking it to the Delhi cricket body rather than alleged corruption. “Fed-

eralism is not a one way stream. It is not always that the Union govern-ment challenges the spir-it of federalism. A State or a Union Territory, by its unacceptable conduct, can also be a threat to federalism,” he said on his blog. Jaitley added that the DDCA case “is a part of propaganda tech-nique to deflect attention when you yourself are in the dock” and accused Kejriwal of focusing at-tention on him after he acted as a shield to cov-er an officer under in-vestigation. “I have left cricket administration

in 2013. By referring to some facts of 2014 and 2015, he can’t drag me in,” he said, terming al-legations against him as unsubstantiated and non-specific. The finance minister said the Serious Fraud Investigation Of-fice (SFIO), which was entrusted with the inves-tigations in the case by the previous UPA govern-ment, has clearly stated that “no fraud (was) no-ticed as alleged” and his role as DDCA President was “like a non-execu-tive chairman without in-volvement in day-to-day affairs of the company”.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYThe now critical problem of air pollution in Delhi, as well as In India

India, China and the Middle East, with their fast-grow-ing economies and expanding industry, have seen growing air pollution, according to NASA scientists who tracked the trends over the last decade in various regions and 195 cities around the globe. There is a well-known saying that “a nation gets the government it deserves”. While typically used in a derisive con-text, when a clearly unsuitable candidate is elected to high office (as happened in the US at the turn of the millennium), the underlying message is that when faced with an undesirable outcome, the root cause is often to be found staring back at you in the mirror. The now critical problem of air pollution in Delhi, as well as a number of other cities across the land, is in-creasingly a reflection of the choices that the citizens of the capital, and the broader nation, make every single day. Choices around how we allow the city to develop, our commuting habits, the way in which we dispose of our trash, and, most importantly, whether we choose to hold ourselves accountable for viola-tions of laws and regulations that are designed to pro-tect us from such outcomes. That the Delhi CM has had to announce a drastic “even-odd” policy, leading to a deeply polarized reaction from the public, should be regarded as a failure. The only long-term solution to a problem like this has to come from a change in behavior that is driven by greater awareness. Grant-ed that not all these choices are solely in our hands – after all, agricultural practices, land development, pollution standards and fuel quality specifications are not something that the aam aadmi influences di-rectly. But, as consumers, we have far greater power over businesses than we allow ourselves to exercise. As voters, we can continue to participate in gover-nance well past the election. And, as residents of the same great city, we can help one another make the right choices. Our neighbour China, which developed ahead of us, and has been experiencing far worse pollution for a longer period of time, is capable of taking swift decisions, with severe punishment for those who violate the laws. As staunch believers in democracy, we prefer to debate, pontificate and ulti-mately procrastinate – all of which will cost us dear-ly. Economists tell us that pollution of any kind is a negative externality, which a business typically does not reflect on its balance sheet. The standard solutions to addressing this are an outright ban (eliminate what is causing the pollution), taxes/fines (although this is often interpreted as a fee to continue polluting), and a cap and trade type system (where I can pay someone else to stop polluting, but continue to do so myself).

Apple is expected to hold a launch event in March to unveil the second gener-ation Apple Watch and possibly the long-rumoured 4-inch iPhone 6C. Chances are the company may have another product up its sleeve for the March event, aka, the iPad 3. That being said, Kuo claims the new iPad will not include the headline feature of the new iPhones. The iPad 3 will come sans Apple’s newly developed pressure sensitive tech-nology, aka, 3D Touch. “iPad Air 3 will opt not to feature 3D Touch because of production issues. While we think the 3D Touch supply chain pro-duced more to avoid shortages in the early stages, slower end-product demand and improved back-end assembly yield have resulted in the current

One of the very few things I tell young cricketers, maybe because I don’t have too much more to tell them, is that no media person can ever stop them from scoring a run or tak-ing a wicket or coming in the way of a great catch. If however, they worry about what the media is doing, it could put them in the wrong frame of mind and then that could come in the way of scor-ing runs or taking wickets. I thought of that when I heard Virat Kohli’s views on those in the media that cover cricket. Now, Kohli is far too good a player to let things get into his head enough to influence how he plays, but it was inter-esting that he agonised so much over it. In doing so, while he didn’t play too many false shots in Delhi, he might have let a couple be played after the game. By suggesting that those who hadn’t played inter-national cricket had no right to talk about how the game should be played, he was in effect making a comment on how the me-dia should go about things which, by his own mea-sure and given he hasn’t been part of it, he cannot sit in judgement over.

to bowl against Dhoni, particularly in shorter version of the game, as Dhoni has proved him-self as a best finisher of the game, but I will do my level best to perform well”. The 27-year-old cricketer also hopes to play to his potential in the cash-rich league, which commences on April 9 at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. “It’s a different

kind of feeling which can not be expressed while playing for home team and I hope that I would be doing well in the IPL,” he said. “I have been select-ed in the Rajkot team as a good player and there is a chance for me to go fur-ther if I could play good cricket in coming IPL season,” said Jadeja, who initially played for Rajas-than Royals.

indeed is the fact that a cricketer hitting the sweet spot consistently doesn’t give him the ability to string together thoughts and sentences in a by-lined article. Having said that, Kohli isn’t entirely wrong either because the media’s obsession with searching for the bad and the scandalous is worri-some, especially in a me-dium where advertising revenue is linked to view-ership. And given that good news isn’t as arrest-ing as bad, we are seeing an unhealthy obsession with whatever generates eyeballs. The deplorable

“Shame in Sydney” af-fair immediately after the World Cup semi-final is an example of how peo-ple are willing to dump objectivity and balance (which you would imag-ine is essential in the news industry) in a mad headlong rush for atten-tion.

It is also true that when you are upset and angry, you tend to notice things that appeal to those emotions.

Well, not really, but here it’s what happened in the only real interesting moment in the press interaction af-ter the Player Draft.“D-honi will get 12.5 crore,” (The Draft rules say the first capped player would be paid Rs 12.5 crore) said Shukla, when asked about the financial remu-neration. Gentle murmurs filled the room and even as the franchise owners, sitting beside Shukla, an-swered another question, one of the BCCI members filled the ears of Shukla. “I would like to answer

The bonus of Rs 110 per 20kg announced by the state government has not gone down well with the cotton growers in Sau-rashtra, who termed it as a “lollipop.” According to market re ports, cot-ton was already rading well above Rs 920 per kg in most of the impor ant markets of Saurash-tra, he highest being Rs 965 per 20kg in Mana-vadar. “I have not sold my 1,200kg cotton stock yet as the present MSP of Rs 810 per 20kg is too less to even recover my agriculture input cost. Even with the bonus of Rs 110, farmers have to transport the cotton to its CCI centres, which add to the cost. We must get Rs 1,100 per 20kg to survive

The Gujarat government will consult all stake hold-ers, including developers, while constituting the state real estate regulatory authority (RERA), Chief Minister Anandiben Patel said today. According to the Real Estate (Regula-tion and Development) Bill, 2015, approved by the Cabinet last week, the states and UTs need to establish the ‘Real Es-tate Regulatory Authori-ty’ to regulate real estate transactions. The bill is still to be taken up for discussion and approval by Parliament. “..I know our real estate developers have some issues relat-ed to Real Estate Regu-latory Authority. So our state government will consult all stake hold-

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the annual meeting of coun-try’s top police brass at Kutch in Gujarat on Fri-day afternoon. This is for the first time that the Prime Minister will be staying for all the three days with the police top brass there, an area which is near to International border with Pakistan. Be-sides the Prime Minister, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and top bureaucrats will be attending the conference which is organised by the Intelligence Bureau. It is for the second time that the conference is being held outside Delhi ever since its inception in 1920. The three-day

ers including developers while constituting the regulatory authority for the Gujarat,” Patel said while speaking at the Credai Annual Conclave 2015. Patel added that the state government has addressed almost all the issues of the develop-ers related to real estate sector and at the same time the state govern-

ment has taken various initiatives to ease down the registration process. The Real Estate (Regu-lation and Development) Bill is framed with aim to protect the interest of consumers, promote fair play in real estate trans-actions and to ensure timely execution of proj-ects. The Bill provides a uniform regulatory envi-

ronment to ensure speedy adjudication of disputes and orderly growth of the real estate sector. It will boost domestic and foreign investment in the real estate sector and help achieve the objec-tive of the government to provide housing for all by enhanced private par-ticipation, according to a release.

event is likely to be at-tended by over 100 top police officers from the country and its opening day may be marked by yoga and ‘surya nam-askar’ by the partici-pants, officials said. The officers have been told to bring ‘band gala’ suit and sarees for the event. They will have to do

surya namaskar during sun rise and sun set, they said. “President’s Police Medals and Police Med-als will be presented to the officers of the Intel-ligence Bureau during the conference,” a press release issued today by Home Ministry said. This conference was be-ing held at Delhi every

year till 2013. Last year in November, for the first time since its inception in 1920, the conference was organised out of Delhi and held in Guwahati, Assam, it said. Issues like radicalisation of youths, attempts to lure Indians into Middle-East terrorist group ISIS, cross border terrorism and activities of Pakistan-based terror outfits will top the agen-da. Violence perpetrated by Maoists, filling up of vacant posts in various police forces, circulation of fake Indian currency notes, smuggling of nar-cotics and human traf-ficking will also be dis-cussed threadbare during the conference, the offi-cials said.

The convention is host several musical nights and cultural events

road shows over the past couple of months to cre-ate awareness on the fin-er details of the proposal and the benefits that will accrue in the longer run for both majority as well as minority shareholders. It is learnt that the man-agement has been able to successfully convince shareholders that the ar-rangement will not have any negative impact on Maruti’s financials and assured the minority

shareholders that their in-terests will be taken care of. “During our meetings with them, almost all the shareholders were pretty much satisfied that the proposal would substan-tially benefit them going forward and they all seem to be quite convinced that this proposal will be in their interest,” Maru-ti Suzuki Chairman RC Bhargava had told CN-BC-TV18 in an interview on December 3.

as farmers have already lost their 30% crops due to diseases and pest attack in Sau rashtra,” said Val-ji Patel, a cotton farmer from Surendranagar dis-trict. Saurashtra region is the hub of cotton pro-duction in the state and it has suffered around 25%-30% crop loss this year. In fact, CCI is yet to open

its centres in the Sau-rash tra region. When in-quired, CCI officials said that they would open 15 cotton purchase centres in Saurashtra but refused to give any timeframe. “We are waiting for govern-ment’s direction in this re-gard and a clarity on how the bonus scheme will work,” said a CCI official.

that question again,” went Shukla, channeling Roberts’ character, and sang a different tune this time. “Dhoni, and other players’ contracts with the previous franchises will be protected. So he will get paid the same amount that he got earli-er.” The condition threw up an ambiguity. Do the new franchises bleed more money because of this, or will it act as a lev-el-playing field when you

consider all the players? The board insisted that it will be a leveler in the big picture. Meanwhile, in the press conference room, the murmurs grew into barks. ‘What’s that amount?’ ‘Your board has promised transparen-cy, so why secret about this? How much was he paid?’ Shukla isn’t the kind of man who gets easily flustered. He has seen far worse cacopho-ny inside Parliament.
