States and Union Terri-tories will have a great-er say in implementa-tion of the three flagship schemes for urban de-velopment launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, as per the guidelines issued. Operational guidelines for implementation of Smart Cities, Atal Mis-sion for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and Housing for All by 2022 in urban areas were released at the launch of these three mega projects. According to the guidelines, the states and Union Territories will have full liberty and flex-ibility in formulation, ap-proval and execution of projects under the three missions.

en directions to the energy department to rectify it, he said. Gujarat’s Amreli dis-trict is the worst affected as 36 people died in the flood fury on Wednesday. Yes-terday’s depression over Gujarat region has moved northeastwards and weak-ened into a low pressure area over northwest Mad-hya Pradesh and adjoining south Uttar Pradesh as of today morning. The India Meteorological Depart-ment (IMD) has said that that isolated heavy rain fall is forecast for next 24 hours at many places in Gujarat, Konkan, Goa, Saurashtra and Kutch regions. At pres-ent, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and Air Force teams are engaged in rescue and re-

lief operations across the affected districts. Patel has directed the concerned au-thorities to deploy more manpower in Amreli. The state government, howev-er, has so far not declared any special package for Amreli or Saurashtra re-gion which is facing flood like situation, according to Suthar. On Wednesday, the state witnessed one of the most furious onset of monsoons, leaving thou-sands of people across districts stranded after the heavy rains triggered flash floods in rivers in Amreli, Rajkot, Gir-Somnath and Rajkot regions. Ahmed-abad received around 8 inch rainfall leading to se-

vere waterlogging in many parts of the city, prompt-ing the district collector to issue a directive to all primary, secondary and higher secondary schools in the city and rural areas to remain closed on Thurs-day. The state government, however, has not declared a flood. State health min-ister and spokesperson of government of Gujarat government Nitin Patel said, “Floods have not been declared as the rains have stopped and the wa-ter is already receding.” Jayanta Sarkar, director at State Meteorological De-partment informed that the deep depression over Ara-bian Sea has crossed Guja-

rat and has moved towards South Western Madhya Pradesh. “In between June 1 and June 25, Gujarat has received 21 per cent of the season’s rains. As for tomorrow, the forecast is light to moderate rains,” Sarkar said. Meanwhile, heavy rains have got the farmers in the state wor-ried. The rains have caused huge damage to ongoing sowing, especially for groundnut and cotton. Ac-cording to state agriculture department official, water logging in many areas like Gondal, Dhari, Bagasara, Amareli Una and Rajkot of Saurashtra may dam-age groundnut and cotton crops seeds.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYIIM bill: Degree of unfreedomThe prime minister needs to explain to the ministry of human resource development (HRD) the meaning of his “moola mantra” and election promise “mini-mum government, maximum governance”. The pro-posed new IIM bill from the HRD ministry does the opposite. It claws back a lot of existing autonomy of these institutions and reduces IIM boards to the rubber-stamping handmaidens of the ministry. This new move to take greater government control comes despite the lack of evidence of the need to do so, given the consistently high level of academic, social and financial contributions of at least the larger ones. The older, more established IIMs are poster children for the prime minister’s “Make in India” vision — that India can turn out world-class products that are valued everywhere. Their alumni and alumna have made their mark in the highest echelons of all as-pects of society both in India and around the world — business, government, social enterprises, new-age entrepreneurship and Parliament. CK Prahalad, renowned management guru, Raghuram Rajan, for-mer IMF chief economist and now RBI governor, Ajay Banga, chairman, USIBC, and Mastercard CEO, are just the tip of the iceberg. It’s not all about business either, IIM graduates include senior bu-reaucrats, a member of Parliament, founders of so-cial enterprises, successful new-age entrepreneurs and economic ambassadors like KV Kamath, who represents us now in the newest multilateral venture of the world. It’s also not just the alumni but also the alumna — think of Shikha Sharma, MD of Axis Bank, Roopa Kudva, till recently MD of CRISIL, Indra Nooyi and many more. The IIMs (and I speak from my knowledge of IIM-Ahmedabad) have im-plemented OBC reservations speedily, pushing fac-ulty and facilities to deal with an almost overnight doubling of student intake, and are need-blind in ad-missions. The faculty serve on several government committees to provide groundwork for policymak-ing, run special programmes for nationally import-ant segments like the armed forces, are engaged in incubating and encouraging grassroots innovation, entrepreneurship and more. Also, a little-known fact is that the larger IIMs are financially self-sufficient and committed to raising their own funds to take them to the next level of excellence. They have been oases of admissions integrity. Till now, no MP’s son or business baron’s daughter has ousted a more de-serving candidate from a humble background. Surely that stands for something, in our prime minister’s vi-sion of a meritocratic India where humble origins are not a deal-stopper in life. To highlight some aspects of the bill, it has baffling phrases like, “regulations made by the board with the approval of the Central govern-ment”. So what is the role of the board? There is also the use of the catch-all “any other matters”, which is a blanket statement of open and future power given to the Centre. On a chairperson’s appointment, it says (s)he will be appointed by the Central government “in such manner as may be prescribed”, leaving this criti-cal appointment wide open to misuse or whimsy.

An epic battle movie, likened to American blockbuster 300, is set to become India’s most expensive film ever, but it’s not Bollywood that will smash the record. The two-part Baahubali, costing still a fraction of the budget of Hollywood blockbusters, is being made in the Telugu and Tamil languages for the ‘Tollywood’ and ‘Kollywood’ markets. Its release shines a welcome spotlight on southern India’s film industries, which are often overshadowed by the glitz and glamour of the internationally-bankable Hindi-language Bollywood films. Director

SS Rajamouli said the movie, which eager cinema-goers are also comparing to Hercules, will break the previous big-budget Indian film by a whopping $17 million. “There are still over a hundred days of shooting left, followed by post-production for the second part. The budget will definitely be over 250 crore rupees ($40 million) for both parts,” Mr Rajamouli. Baahubali, literally meaning The One With Strong Arms in English, is laden with special effects and tells the fictional story of two warring brothers battling for control of an ancient Indian kingdom. The opening

part of the ambitious spectacle, Baahubali - The Beginning, is due for release on July 10, with the final instalment scheduled to hit screens next year. Indian cinema produces films in 39 languages and dialects. Last year, 216 Hindi or Bollywood movies were released, fewer than the 287 in Tamil and 255 Telugu-language films. Bollywood is India’s biggest-grossing movie industry, accounting for $565 million in box office revenues in 2013 according to Deloitte. But Tollywood and Kollywood were not far behind, raising a total of $468 million, and despite their relative anonymity abroad have form when

it comes to releasing big-budget blockbusters. Baahubali will overtake the 2010 Tamil movie Enthiran (Robot), which cost an estimated Rs 1.5 billion ($23 million) to make, as Indian cinema’s most costly film so far. Movie critics and fans, who have watched a short teaser released last month, say its vast battle scenes draw comparisons with 2006 hit movie 300, which starred Gerard Butler. “It’s the simple story of a father who has been back-stabbed, a mother who has been enchained for no wrong of hers and the story of a son who takes revenge. The two parts span two generations,” explained Mr Rajamouli.

Protecting the world’s largest online social net-work from malware is the top priority of the securi-ty engineers at Facebook. The job involves remov-ing all the malicious links; the ones that point to bad websites and ensuring that the malware itself does not spread through Facebook. Facebook’ Trevor Pottinger, from the Threat Infrastructure team has announced that they are releasing a new tool in association with Kaspersky Labs to keep user’s computer and the social network safe from all the malicious pro-grams. Kaspersky Labs is a Russian software security company that develops anti-malware programs. Facebook and Kaspersky Labs have been working on mak-ing sure that the malware does not enter the social

network in any form. One of the best ways to do this is to inform the user that their computer is infected with malware so that the user can take active steps to remove it. Facebook has announced a new ‘Malware Scan’ tool for Facebook pow-ered by Kaspersky’s expertise. The tool will scan the user’s comput-er for potential threats and offer cleanup mech-anisms. Users will have to download the tool on their computers and run the scan to check if their computer has been infect-ed. Facebook says that in the past three months, the tool has helped pro-tect over 260,000 com-puters across the world that were used to access Facebook.

Addressing the media, Indian Institute of Man-agement, Ahmedabad (IIMA) Board Chairman AM Nayak and Director SK Nanda today raised questions on the present draft of The Indian In-stitute of Management Bill, 2015. The draft has been put online for pub-lic comments at present. Shri Nayak said he was surprised to see the draft bill on the website, be-cause after two and half years long process which involved series of con-sultative meetings, IIMS and government had ar-rived on agreement for different draft last year, but later the bill was not moved in parliament, and now there was sudden-

In an attempt to reach out to the governments of mar-itime states for the “Sagar-mala project”, which seeks to develop a string of ports around India’s coast, the Union Ministry of Ship-ping held the first meet-ing in connection with the plan in Gandhinagar on Wednesday. The meeting was chaired by A K Sri-

vastava, additional sec-retary, Ministry of Ship-ping, and was attended by Rabindra Agarwal, joint secretary, and consultants from McKinsey and AE-COM. “Gujarat was cho-sen as the first destination to hold such a workshop as the state is considered a torch bearer of port and port-led development, and the learning of Gu-jarat will be vital for the

A team of researchers at Indian Institute of Tech-nology , Gandhinagar (IITGn) has developed an extremely transparent nano-material. The na-no-sheets are rich in bo-ron unlike graphene that is based on carbon. The bo-ron makes them not only highly transparent, it also provides material scien-tists a wonderful platform to utilize its rich chemistry.

Gujarat high court on Wednesday pulled up civ-ic authorities and the state government for their bid to permit commercial use of buildings in Pols of the Walled City in Ahmed-abad and sounded a word of caution that this would destroy the city heritage.

Banks and insurance com-panies have pushed for major tax breaks to op-erate in Gujarat Interna-tional Finance Tec-City (GIFT), the country’s am-bitious International Fi-nance Centre (IFSC) com-ing up near Ahmedabad. Top bankers and insurers told the officials of the fi-nance ministry and regu-latory bodies in a closed-door meeting in Mumbai on Wednesday that “it

doesn’t make sense to start operations in the IFSC without enough tax incen-tives”. The ministry has called another meeting in Delhi in the next 10 days to get the IFSC in GIFT City running. “We need tax concessions to operate in the IFSC. If we have to attract business going to Dubai or Singapore, the government should come out with a favourable structure. We need more clarity on the tax front,”

the chairman of a public sector insurance compa-ny said at the meeting. Currently, there’s a mini-mum alternate tax (MAT)of 18 per cent on projects in special economic zones which incidentally is the lowest tax. However, min-istry officials, including Financial Services Secre-tary Hasmukh Adhia, who were present at the meet-ing did not give any indi-cation about the tax struc-ture being planned.

ly a new draft of bill on website. Mr. Nayak said IIM was started by soci-ety and not government. The new bill if passed in present form will make IIMs just operational cen-ters while all approvals and directions will come

from centre. There’s no autonomy in present for-mat of bill. While hon-orable Prime Minister wishes that there should be at least 25 institutes in India that are world-class, the draft bill is an action in opposite direction. Out

of top 100 institutes, Chi-na contributes 25 while there’s none from India. The draft bill will make situation even worse with powers like selection of board chairman, term of director, fee structure, formation of new depart-ment, establishment and maintenance of build-ings, recruitment, faculty recruitment and evalua-tion, decisions by chief administration officer, director etc are to be reg-ulated and controlled by central government. Mr. Nayak further said that the meetings of IIMs with government went on for two and half years over the issue of draft bill and the last meeting was held in October 2014 in this regard.

First Sagarmala project meet heldsuccess of this initiative,” read a statement from the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB), the state’s nodal agency for port develop-ment. The prime objective of the Sagarmala project is to enhance the capacity of major and non-major ports, modernising them, thereby enabling them to become drivers of port-led economic development. It also intends to optimise the use of existing and fu-ture transport assets and develop new linkages for transport (including roads, rail, inland waterways and coastal routes), set up lo-gistics hubs, and establish industries and manufactur-ing centres to be served by ports.

these nanosheets are like ultrathin sandwiches with metal atoms trapped be-tween boron planes that are 20,000 times thinner than human hair. “Such thinness gives them un-usual properties: they do not absorb visible light but strongly absorb ultraviolet light. This can prove very useful in making UV-blocking coatings that still allow visible light to pass,” said Jasuja. He added that not much was known about these nano-sheets yet. But it would be worth exploring if, like their op-tical properties, their me-chanical and thermal prop-erties are also similarly at extremes, said Jasuja.

3 to 6-metre wide road, and the building can be commercially used on a 9-metre road. Upon the objection that this would result in a commercial-ization of Pols, the bench of Justice M R Shah and Justice A G Uraizee came

down heavily on author-ities for the gesture that amounts to “overreach-ing the court process” and which could destroy the Pols, which are declared as the Living Heritage by the UNESCO. The court said: “Destroying the Pol is like destroying city her-itage... On one hand, you pray to make it a heritage city, on the other, you al-low to destroy the Pols.” Justice Shah said and add-ed, “How can one know about the culture of the city? Only those who live in the Pols can know it.” After a prolonged discus-sion, AMC submitted that it has not passed such a resolution, and its lawyer said, “It’s our duty to pre-serve the culture, and no commercialization will beallowed.” However, regarding the genesis of

the suggestion to amend provisions in General De-velopment Control Regu-lation (GDCR) norms, the HC insisted that the mu-nicipal commissioner and Town Planning Commit-tee should come up with affidavits by Tuesday. The judges also said that nobody thought of traffic and other issues created by change of use of build-ings. Meanwhile, nearly 150 jewelers whose shops were sealed by AMC au-thorities also moved the HC, which permitted them to take out goods from their shops. The judges also rebuked officials for the sealing drive just a day before court hearing. They also commented that the seals would be removed in a day or two because there is no court order in this regard.
