Almost everything that ISRO has accomplished in the last few years, has already been done be-fore although by only one or two other countries. Monday’s test of a reus-able satellite launch ve-hicle (RLV) is no differ-ent. What distinguishes each of ISRO’s missions, however, is the cost: al-most all the missions, including the Moon and Mars missions, have been executed at a frac-tion of the cost of similar missions by other space agencies. ISRO is by no means the only space agency to be developing reusable systems. Most of the other major space powers also have their reusable launch vehicle programmes in different stages of development. The successful technol-ogy demonstration of a RLV is an attempt by

Faiz Fazal who? Yes, you might not have heard the name unless you are a domestic cricket nerd. The 30-year-old is an opening batsman from Vidarbha who scored a match-winning 127 for the Rest of India in the second innings of the Ira-ni Cup against Mumbai earlier this year. Before that, he had made 312 runs at 52.00 in the Vi-jay Hazare Trophy which came on the heels of his 559 runs in eight Ranji Trophy matches. He also scored an excellent 112-ball 100 in the Deodhar Trophy final. Fazal has gotten into India’s lim-

ited-overs squad for the tour of Zimbabwe by dint of his performance in do-mestic cricket. He hasn’t featured in the ongoing IPL but the Sandeep Pa-til-led selection commit-tee should be lauded for looking beyond the cash-rich show and taking note of other domestic compe-titions, albeit low-profile. As expected, a callow 16-member team has been picked for three ODIs and three T20 internationals in Zimbabwe, starting June 11. The series gives an opportunity to the BCCI and the selectors to assess bench strength and the likes of KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Mandeep

GSEB Class 10 results today, hard copy of mark-sheet on May 26 ISRO to bring down the

cost of satellite launch-es, which will make it an even more attractive player in the internation-al market and bring down the cost of its own future missions. This is an im-portant consideration as there have been frequent allegations that ISRO’s missions are a waste of money given that India still struggles to provide people with the most ba-sic of amenities. Space technology is very ex-pensive. India currently uses two kinds of launch vehicles — PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle)

and GSLV (Geostation-ary Satellite Launch Ve-hicle). The PSLV is the older of the two and the more successful, having already clocked 30 suc-cessful launches. GSLV, which began in earnest only during the 1990s, has had four successful flights but an equal num-ber of failures too. An advanced version of the GSLV, called Mk-III, that will be capable of putting very heavy satellites – up to about 4,000 kg — into space is still under de-velopment. The PSLV can carry satellites up to about 1,500 kg in weight.

there won’t be any press conference to declare the results but it would be put (uploaded) directly on the board website by eight to nine am in the morning. The result booklet or the mark sheet would also be

available online tomor-row. Its hard copy would however be distributed from May 26 at the distri-bution centers in various districts. Last year the GSEB SSC Result was declared in June. 10.46

lakh students had ap-peared for the examina-tion. The pass percentage was 54.42.. The perfor-mance of girls was bet-ter. Their pass percentage was 61.53% while that of boys was only 50.17%.

Police said they launched a man-hunt for the killers, who managed to flee the spot. This is first such major strike in the city in near-ly three years. The last such attack took place on June 22, 2013 when

two policemen were shot dead at Hari Singh High Street. The incident comes two days after an encounter with militants in north Kashmir’s Kup-wara district, in which a soldier was killed. Secu-rity forces said that five militants were killed and two soldiers were wound-ed in a fierce gun battle in Drugmulla.

Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Ri-shi Dhawan, Axar Patel Dhawal Kulkarni, Jasprit Bumrah and Barinder Sran have been picked without hesitation. Karun Nair’s consistency in do-mestic cricket and his match-winning knock against Sunrisers Hy-derabad only a few days ago made him an obvious choice as well. Leg-spin-

ner Yuzvendra Chahal got the nod by virtue of his 19 wickets (economy 7.87) in 11 matches in this IPL, and it’s good that Ambati Rayudu and Jaydev Un-adkat have been brought

back to the fold. Rayu-du hasn’t played any in-ternational cricket since being cleaned up by a Kagiso Rabada full-toss at Barabati in October last year. But after 334 runs in 13 IPL fixtures, he has been given one more opportunity to perform at the top level. Incidentally, Rayudu’s career-best in ODIs, 124 not out, came

in Zimbabwe last year. Left-arm seamer Unad-kat hasn’t played for In-dia since November 2013 and should be hungry to make an impression. Haryana and Delhi Dare-devils player Jayant Ya-dav appears a good value addition with his all-round ability. The best part is that MS Dhoni is leading the team, providing a chance

to the young players to be mother-henned by the great skipper. India don’t have any in limited-overs assignment in the next few months following the Zimbabwe tour, and it’s pretty logical that Dhoni, who now plays only in the shorter formats, has decided to tour. As for the Test team, Shardul Thakur richly deserves his inclusion. The Mumbai fast bowler finished the last Ranji season with 41 wickets from 11 matches.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYIran is a country India can no longer ignore

It is no secret that Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to visit Israel. But it is a measure of the confi-dence in the depth of ties between Tel Aviv and New Delhi — and the importance of Iran for India’s inter-ests that the PM is able to visit Tehran first. And rightly so. Iran’s re-emergence in world affairs after decades of isolation is forcing significant realignments in the region. With a population of 77 million, an educat-ed workforce, civilisational confidence and geostra-tegic location as a potential bridge between Europe and Asia, Iran is not a country that the world or India can ignore. Even though India-Iran ties have had an on-off character owing to the sanctions imposed by the US, which forced New Delhi to scale back con-tact, there is plenty of mutual interest to consolidate ties. Iran needs investment to rebuild its infrastructure while India is driven by strategic imperatives that go beyond the customary focus on hydrocarbons. This is evident from the bilateral contract that will allow In-dia to develop the Chahbahar port, through an initial $150 million line of credit from the Exim Bank. This is an agenda item that has barely moved since 2003 but now assumes urgency owing to Beijing’s plans to operationalise the Gwadar port as part of the $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. To count-er this India wants to participate in railway projects that connect Chahbahar-Zahedan-Mashhad (in Iran) which can be a potential gateway for Indian goods heading to Russia and Europe. Through the Tripar-tite Trade and Transport Agreement signed with Af-ghanistan, India will help develop the Chahbahar-Za-hedan-Zaranj corridor that will develop connectivity with Afghanistan and Central Asia, countering the lack of two-way transit rights through Pakistan to Afghani-stan, which Islamabad has not accorded to India despite the obvious economic benefits to the three countries. The list of bilateral agreements signed during Modi’s visit suggests that both sides are keen on improving contact between their policy collectives and wider publics. MoUs on culture have been signed in addi-tion to those extending dialogues between think tanks and training of diplomats. All this will hopefully lead to a greater acquaintance with Iranian society, politics and artistic expression that Indian audiences have lost touch with over the decades. The commitments to de-velop Chahbahar port and connectivity within Iran and Afghanistan are significant ventures. But New Delhi ought to ensure that they are delivered on time. India’s record on delivering promised infrastructure is patchy as the experience with Nepal shows. We cannot contin-ue to let China move into vacuums we have created.

Kota is known for provid-ing coaching classes to thousands of students pre-paring for engineering and medical entrances in the country.

Thirty-five-year-old Ku-mar, fondly known as Ravindra Pahalwan, is posted in Kota Railways as a deputy chief tick-et inspector. Kumar told

agency that Khan is play-ing the role of a wrestler, Mahaveer Singh Phogat, in the movie. “Aamir was taking wrestling tips from Krapashankar Vishnoi, who is an Arjuna awardee.

After being knocked out of the IPL following a six-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Ban-galore, Delhi Daredev-ils wicketkeeper-bats-man Quinton De Kock praised the opposition’s game plan which restrict-ed them to a modest total of 138 runs. “I think they built a lot of pressure on us, their spinners. Some good bowling chang-

es from them. So it was hard to build a partner-ship from there because we were losing wickets,” the 23-year-old South African cricketer said at the post match con-ference here last night. De Kock scored 60 off 52 balls against RCB in Sunday’s match at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Sta-dium. However, they lost the match by six wick-

ets. “We lost wickets at the wrong time. Couple of soft dismissals. I lost my wicket at the wrong time. But we could have come after that. We were under the pump. It could have gone either way though. If we had got 20 more runs, we could have got 160. They had good game plans and at the death, it was hard to finish off...they bowled well,” he asserted.

Chawla has turned the ball square, foxed a few good bats-men and can hit the ball a fair distance. To replace Chawla at Eden Gardens meant Yadav was sup-posed to be that trump card Gambhir has wait-ed an eternity to flash at the right time. “There was pressure when you replace a senior player and especially in the last round. But I was happy at the same time. The way I kept on bowling it re-leased the pressure grad-ually,” he said. Thank-fully for Gambhir, Yadav did what was required to yet again show that KKR possess by far the most talented coterie of spin-ners in the IPL.

Asaram’s alleged hench-man Karthik Haldar, sus-pected of shooting dead three key witnesses of two rape cases against the self-styled godman and his son Narayan Sai, had planned to acquire an AK-47 rifle for elim-inating other witnesses, police said. Haldar, a sharp-shooter and staunch follower of Asaram, was arrested from Raipur in Chhattisgarh on March 13 in a joint operation by the Gujarat Anti-Ter-rorism Squad (ATS) and city Crime Branch. He is now in the custo-dy of Rajasthan Police for further probe, city Crime Branch’s Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) K N Patel said to-day.

To save water for drink-ing and irrigation, the Narmada dam authority has kept six 250- MW hydro-power generating turbines shut for over six months now, causing a sharp drop in power gen-eration as against an all-time high record achieved in 2013-14, an official said. The six River Bed Power House (RBPH) turbines, which are sit-uated on the bed of Nar-mada river downstream of Sardar Sarovar Dam at Kevadia in Narmada dis-

trict, have been out of op-eration since October last year due to poor rainfall recorded last year. This was done to save water for supply to Gujarat and Rajasthan during scarcity this summer for drinking purpose, the official said. This is said to be one of the longest periods at a stretch that the RBPH has remained out of operation due to water shortage in Gujarat. “The decision to keep the RBPH shut is taken based on water auditing done by the Nar-mada Control Authori-

Six persons, including three policemen, were in-jured in a clash between two communities at Pet-lad town in Anand district today, prompting police to use teargas to disperse the mob which hurled stones and damaged a few vehicles. Police fired about 24 teargas shells to control the mob compris-ing over 200 people who hurled stones at each oth-er over a minor argument. Besides damaging some

vehicles in the commu-nally sensitive locali-ty, some members also broke into a house and ransacked the belongings, Anand Superintendent of Police Saurabh Singh said. “Over 200 members of the two communities clashed with each other today after a person on a motorcycle argued with a tractor driver belonging to another community on a congested road in the locality. A minor scuf-fle erupted into a major clash,” Singh said.

As of now, 30 talukas in the state have 100 per cent toilet facil-ity,” said Kavadia. “The Centre wants each state to achieve 100 per cent target by 2019, the year when the nation will cele-brate 150th birth anniver-sary of Mahatma Gandhi. At this pace, I strongly be-lieve that Gujarat would

achieve that target much before 2019,” he added. Speaking on the occasion, Anandiben criticised op-position Congress for not addressing the issue of open defecation during their governance between 1960 and 1995. She added that, if the gram pancha-yats work in tandem with the state government and voluntary organisations, the target of 100 per cent ODF villages could be achieved even by 2017.

Asaram collected Rs 25 lakhs to fund the oper-ation of eliminating the witnesses. In a meeting with these sadhaks, it was decided that a large weapon, such as AK-47, must be acquired to car-ry out the killings,” he said. “To arrange an AK-47 or a similar capacity weapon, Haldar paid Rs 11 lakhs to a person in Jharkhand, who prom-ised to arrange an AK-47. However, Haldar told us that he never received the weapon as that person cheated and gave only a double-barrel gun, which

Haldar used to fire at Ma-hendra Chawla last year at Panipat in Haryana,” the ACP said. Chawla, Asaram’s former per-sonal assistant who later turned a witness against him, had survived the at-tack. Apart from the key witnesses, Haldar had also hatched a plan to kill the then Investigation Of-ficer (IO) in the rape case filed against Asaram in Jodhpur. In his statement, Haldar admitted that he wanted to kill Jodhpur ACP Chanchal Mishra, who was the IO of rape case in Jodhpur.
