Govt withdraws LPG subsidy benefit to consumers with above Rs 10 lakh taxable income

Govt withdraws LPG subsidy benefit to consumers with above Rs 10 lakh taxable income. The change to effect initially on self-declaration basis while booking cylinders from January 2016 onwards. The Government has decided withdraw the benefit of LPG subsidy for LPG consumers, self of spouse, having taxable income of more than Rs 10 lakh during the previous financial year computed as per the Income Tax Act, 1961. At present, there are 16.35 crore LPG consumers in the country. With the implementation of the PAHAL Scheme (DBTL), the subsidy is being transferred directly to the Bank Account of 14.78 crore LPG Consumers. 

The objective of the scheme was to ensure that the subsidy benefits go to the targeted group. The Government had also given a call to the well-to-do households for voluntarily giving up LPG subsidy. So far, 57.50 lakh LPG consumers have opted out of LPG subsidy voluntarily heeding the call given by the Prime Minister. The subsidy saved from the ‘GiveitUp’ campaign is being utilized for providing new connections to the BPL families under the ‘Giveback’ campaign. This enables provision of LPG, a clean fuel, to poor households by replacing the conventional fuels such as kerosene, coal, fuel wood, cow dung, etc. relieving the poor of the hardships and health hazards from such fuels. While many consumers have given up subsidy voluntarily, it is felt that consumers in the higher income bracket should get LPG cylinders at the market price. Therefore, the Government has decided that the benefit of the LPG subsidy will not be available for LPG consumers if the consumer or his/her spouse had taxable income of more than Rs 10,00,000/- during the previous financial year computed as per the Income Tax Act, 1961. In keeping with the approach of trusting the citizens, this will be given effect to initially on self-declaration basis while booking cylinders from January 2016 onwards.

Bajirao Mastani Movie Reviews

This Friday the two big Bollywood Movies, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Dilwale' and Ranveer Singh's 'Bajirao Mastani' released with some protests for both the film. While, 'Dilwale' faced protests in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district and Uttar Pradesh's Allahabad city, demonstrations were also held against Bajirao Mastani in Pune. Here is review of Bajirao Mastani Movies from various Daily news papers and websites to decide which movie is better to watch this weekend. 

Bajirao Mastani Movie Reviews from various websites: 

Hindustan Times: **1/2 (2.5 Star) Deepika is brighter than Bhansali’s opulence
If you appreciate Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s opulence and grandeur, this won’t disappoint. It can be a good one-time watch, for Deepika’s performance, if not anything else.

Mid Day Rating:***1/2 (3.5 star)
Bhansali, in the two-and-half hour narration, transports you to a unique and stunningly beautiful world of Wadas and aayina mahal, Maharashtrian nathanis co-existing with ghunghroos and the traditional Pinga dance given a glamorous twist.

Koimoi.com Rating: ***1/2 (3.5 Star)
Not Deepika, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra lace this film with their brilliant performances. Watch the film for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s artistic vision and definitely Ranveer’s career-best act.

Deccan Chronicle Rating: ***(3 Star) | There is not a shade of Bajirao that Ranveer Singh does not perfect. A melodramatic climax aside, the film is undoubtedly a quality product, Bhansali always ensures that. But what makes it fall just short of excellence is the lack of the journey within. But a glimpse of the mind would have made the picture complete.

Indian Express Rating: *1/2 (1.5 Star) | Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh film is just a costume drama
Deepika Padukone is lovely, and creates sizzle with Ranveer Singh, but hasn’t melded with the part. It is hard to imagine anyone else as Bajirao after Ranveer Singh finishes chewing up the part .

Times of India Rating: **** (4 Star) BAJIRAO MASTANI HAS GUTS, GLORY AND GRANDEUR!

NDTV Rating: *** (3 Star) Bajirao Mastani is for those that think history is boring. There isn't a dull moment in this colourful and dramatic film that embraces excess with unabashed abandon.

Bhaskar Rating: **** (4 Star)
भंसाली की सिग्नेचर स्टाइल में बनी है 'बाजीराव-मस्तानी'

Aaj Tak Rating: **** (4 Star)
इश्क, दर्द और एक त्रिकोण, जिन्हें भव्यता के आंगन में परोसा जाता है. संजय लीला भंसाली की फिल्मों का यह शाश्वत फॉर्मूला है. 'बाजीराव मस्तानी' भी संजय लीला भंसाली टाइप फिल्मों की अगली कड़ी है.

Dilwale Movie Reviews

Its Friday and the two big Bollywood Movies, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Dilwale' and Ranveer Singh's 'Bajirao Mastani' released today, 18th December with some protests for both the film. While, 'Dilwale' faced protests in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district and Uttar Pradesh's Allahabad city, demonstrations were also held against Bajirao Mastani in Pune. Here is review Dilwale from various Daily news papers and websites to decide which movie is better to watch this weekend. 

Dilwale Movie Reviews from various websites: 

Hindustan Times: Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol reignite their chemistry.
Film knows it is a crowd pleaser, best enjoyed with a tub of popcorn. A pleasure for SRK and Kajol fans but if you want something substantial, look elsewhere.

Mid Day Rating:*** (3 star)
One thing is clear. If you expect depth or even a hint of novelty in the story, go watch some other movie. If you expect a lot of style and action crammed to the gills with masala, stay right here.

Koimoi.com Rating: **1/2 (2.5 Star)
Dilwale is not an enjoyable ride all the way. The film has its moments and mainly it is the predictability and cliches that kill it. One of the best scenes between Kajol and Shah Rukh comes right at the end but its too late to save the film then.

Deccan Chronicle Rating: **1/2 (2.5 Star) | The film doesn't have its heart in the right place
The thing about Dilwale is that it over promises and under delivers. In a bid to chase the Bollywood success formula of a masala flick, which Rohit Shetty undisputedly has cracked over the years, this film tried to pack too many punches in one. As a result, none are strong enough.

Rediff.com Rating: * (1 star)
Dilwale is an absolute dud. 'The contents are not merely un-fizzy but, unforgivably, flat,' Raja Sen says about Dilwale.

Aaj Tak Rating: **1/2 (2.5 Star) | टाइम पास फिल्म है 'दिलवाले'
रोमांस, एक्शन और कॉमेडी के कायल हैं. रोहित शेट्टी की फिल्मों को देखना पसंद करते हैं. शाहरुख-काजोल की जोड़ी को सराहते हैं तो फिल्म एक बार देख सकते हैं

Bhaskar Rating: **** (4 Star) |  दिलवाले मतलब- एंटरटेनमेंट, एंटरटेनमेंट और एंटरटेनमेंट

Mashelkar, Former Director General of the Council of Scientsific & Industrial Research (CSIR) and eminent scientists of India and the Guest of Honour Padma Shri Dr. Upendra Kaul, Executive Director – Academics & Research (Cardiology), Fortis Escorts Heart Institute.

Padma Vibhushan Prof. R.A Mashelkar, Former Director General of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) said, “I heartily congratulate the grandaunts of the day. We must realize that we are entering into a challenging VUCA world which is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. MNIT as an institution over the years has fully equipped it’s students with skills and tools to deal with the challenges of the world confidently. ‘Education in innovation’ and ‘Innovation in education’ are the dire needs of the hour. World class universities will need to achieve this twin goal and MNIT Jaipur must have a dream to become a world class institution with seamless integration of education, research and innovation. Education disseminates known knowledge and Research creates new knowledge. ‘Ambience without Ambition and Ambition without Ambience has no consequences. MNIT has one of the best campus which is fully equipped to create bright ambitious young talent for the nation.”

Padma Vibhushan Professor R.A  Mashelkar also elaborated on three pillars for creating world class universities which included, excellence, autonomy and governance. He said, “Excellence- where mere teaching without research is futile. Uncompromising excellence in both teaching and research is important.  Autonomy- where autonomy or flexibility must flow across the university from teachers to students. Governance- where governance structure of Universities must change with changing times. Transparent regulatory mechanism that ensures accountability will instill a sense of confidence in the academic community and the society as well.” He shared his 10 golden rules to success such as a)Your aspirations are your possibilities b) Be limitless in your imagination as there is no limite to human endurance, human achievement and human imagination c)There is no substitute for hard work d)There is no instant success e) Success is not an accident f) Do not wait for opportunities to know the door, if the opportunity does not knock, build a door g) Remember that; Innovator is the one who sees what everyone else sees but thinks what no one else think h) Continue to be creative i) Remember, innovator is the one who does not know that it cannot be done j) Every India must stand for innovation and not inhibition or imitation.    

Padma Shri Dr. Upendra Kaul, Executive Director – Academics & Research (Cardiology), Fortis Escorts Heart Institute said, “I feel honored and privileged to be invited for the 10th Convocation ceremony at MNIT, Jaipur.  Being a graduate from an esteemed institution such as MNIT, which has a track record of repute, puts a tremendous responsibility on the shoulders of this young talent. It is important that one must not forget to serve the people of their own nation,  living at the bottom of the pyramid and uplift their lives through concepts of smart cities which have been declared by our hon’ble Prime Minister. It is also important that one must not neglect the sectors already neglected such as healthcare, education and must build in-house technology, infrastructure and retain the talent that has been driven off-shore for better opportunities. The graduating talent must invest in education, healthcare, R&D and create the right atmosphere for positive growth.”

Prof. Upendra Kaul concluded by mentioning that, Work-Life-Balance is utmost important. To maintain these one must take care of both the body and mind which is most of the times neglected. He concluded with a teaching from Swami Vivekanand, ‘Teach yourself, teach everyone, his/her real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity which is in the interest of the well-being of the members of the society.’

Prof. I.K Bhatt, Director, Malaviya National Institute of Technology said, “I thank Padma Vibhushan Prof. R.A Mashelkar and Padmashri Dr. Upendra Kaul to take time out of their schedules and make their presence at the MNIT’s 10th Convocation Ceremony. It is a prestigious occasion where such eminent personalities have come together to not just grace the occasion but their presence has also motivated our students genuinely.  The institute has recruited faculty from across the globe having merit and this has drawn researchers and faculty having a combination of merit and diligence. Collaborations are crucial to accomplish high academic standards. These exchanges enrich the faculty and students to get new opportunities to interact and create linkages for future collaborations. Our faculty delegations at MNIT have presented various research papers in countries such as USA, Canada, France, Taiwan, Korea and Singapore. The institute’s tremendous focus has always been on research and excellence in academics which has led various global universities to sign up for collaborations and MoUs in the near future.”

Prof. I K Bhat further added, “The Malaviya National Institute of Technology has various plans and up-coming projects such as the Vivekanand Lecture Theatre Complex which will be operational in the next 2-3 months. The MNIT will be building over 200 residential accommodations to accommodate new faculty members who will be recruited. The institute will be constructing a complete sports complex in the near future with an estimated project cost of over Rs. 20 crore. We at the MNIT shall strive to upgrade our standards, create an environment of learning, innovation and entrepreneurship to provide excellence and aim to produce useful talent for our nation.”  The present intake for Undergraduate programs is 785 and for Post graduate program is 745. The institute has registered about 100 new PhD scholars for the year 2015-16 and has today around 500 PhD scholars working full time in the institute. The 10th Convocation Ceremony at the Malaviya National Institute of Technology was initiated with an academic procession including the chief guest, guest of honour, chairman senate and the senate members.

VHP Leader Ashok Singhal Passes Away

Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal passed away on Tuesday, less than a week after he was admitted to a private hospital in Gurgaon following complaints of breathlessness. "Mr Singhal died at 2.24 pm at Medanta Medicity hospital in Gurgaon," said Pravin Togadia. The 89-year-old Singhal was on Saturday admitted to Medanta hospital after his health deteriorated. He was suffering from respiratory problems for over a month. "He had multi-organ dysfunction, ARDS and sepsis and was being treated by a team of specialists," said Medical Superintendent Dr AK Dubey. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed grief and said that Ashok Singhalji's death was a personal loss. "He was an institution in himself, whose life was centred around serving the nation," the PM tweeted.

A bachelor and an RSS pracharak all his life, Singhal, adopted an aggressive style in the "kar sewak" campaign in the build up to the demolition of the Babri Masjid in December, 1992. A metallurgy engineering graduate from Banaras Hindu University, he pitchforked the organisation in the Ayodhya Ram temple movement and sought to internationalise it by recruiting supporters and organising branches world wide. The overseas supporters contributed immensely to the VHP campaign.

Winter session of Parliament from 26 November to 23 December 2015

Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) today met and recommended convening of Winter session of Parliament from November 26 till December 23, 2015 subject to the exigencies of Government Business. This was announced to the media by Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Shri M.Venkaiah Naidu. Shri Naidu also informed that separate special sittings of both the Houses of Parliament will be held on the first two days of Winter session to discuss ‘Commitment to the Constitution’ as a part of 125th Birth Anniversary celebration of Dr.Bhim Rao Ambedkar and November 26 will be observed as ‘Constitution Day’ commemorating the acceptance of Draft Constitution on November 26,1949. Question Hour and Zero Hour will be dispensed with on these two days.
Talking to media persons later, Shri M.Venkaiah Naidu urged the opposition parties in the Parliament to cooperate in passing of important pending Bills pertaining to introduction of Goods and Service Tax (GST) and setting up Real Estate Regulators etc. He said that the Bihar Assembly Verdict reflected the mood of the people in the state and it should not be construed as a mandate to stall the functioning of the Parliament. He said : “I was disturbed by media reports and analyses in the media after yesterday’s Bihar verdict that opposition parties in the Parliament will now be more emboldened to unite and stall the government’s Parliamentary agenda for the coming winter session. I sincerely hope that it is not the view of the concerned parties. All concerned need to understand the Bihar verdict in right perspective. People of Bihar like in other states too want development. By development, it means rapid economic growth through flow of investments into different sector like infrastructure, power, irrigation, education, health etc.
To realise rapid economic growth, we need to put in right environment in place. This required carefully considered reforms. To interpret Bihar verdict in any other manner only amounts to questining the wisdom of the people of the state. Bihar verdict is a clear statement of people’s aspirations. It should not be interpreted as a mandate to obstruct Parliament. Development of Bihar and that of India are interlinked and are mutually reinforcing. The legislative initiatives under consideration of the Parliament are equally crucial for Bihar in as much as for other states. Measures for introduction of GST and Real Estate Regulator have been initiated long back and need to be taken to their logical conclusion given the benefits that flow. Opposition parties may have some concerns and the Government is always willing to sit with them and address them. This has been our approach since assumption of office last year.”

Centre to support Rajasthan in building Inland Shipping Port at Jalore

Inland Waterways Authority of India under the Ministry of Shipping proposes to guide and support Rajasthan government for building an Inland Shipping Port at Jalore. The port and the terminal that are to be created, will help develop inland navigation facilities in western Rajasthan and will also bring about socio-economic development of the region. Business development opportunities along the canal for limestone, gypsum, lignite and cement factories are to be explored by the state government. The pre-feasibility report of the project will be done by WAPCOS and they will submit the same within 5 months, duly monitored and guided by Inland Waterways Authority of India.
A canal is proposed to be built between Mori creek and Jalore . This canal will be required to maintain a minimum draft of 3 meters. It is also proposed that existing cherras and rivers, like Luni may be explored for establishing connectivity from Jalore to Mori Creek. Efforts will be made to desalinate the water and use it for irrigation. This would help develop the drought resistant crops and improve the agrarian pattern in the region. The viability of saline resistant crops like soya will also be studied for improving the agricultural diversity along the canal. In addition to this there are plans to develop smart cities on this stretch. A study will also be undertaken on how to make the Indira Gandhi Canal navigable. The state government will take up the study to determine the requirements of width, cross structure along the canal, establishing vertical & horizontal clearance and bridges that need to be replaced with the cost associated with the project.

Suprement Court issues Notice to Centre on PIL for Improper Implementation of NREGA

Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Ministry of Rural Development on a PIL alleging improper implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), in terms of timely payment of wages and compensation. “States should wake up and make prompt payments,” a Bench headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu told advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for petitioners RTI activist Aruna Roy, social activist Nikhil Dey and ex-civil servant Lalit Mathur, seeking the setting up of independent social audit units and indexing wage rates under the NREGA higher than that of the minimum wages stipulated under the Minimum Wages Act. The petitioners have claimed that irregularities in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) has eroded the entire objective of securing livelihood for the people of rural India. Maintaining that Section 22(1) of the Act mandates the Centre to release funds for the wages, the petitioners said the dues payable to the rural workers have mounted to Rs 3,100 crore. "There is continuing violation of the provisions of the Act and there is a failure to provide funds for the work done," it added. "Poor implementation of the Act at the hands of the Central as well as State Governments has rendered the Act ineffective," the PIL said. 

MGNREGS aims to ensure 100 days of employment in a financial year to adult members of a rural household who volunteer to perform unskilled manual work. The rural employment programme was notified on 7 September 2005, and came into effect on 2 February 2006. It seeks to create “durable assets” such as roads and irrigation facilities.

In a letter to Secretary of Sahitya Akademi on Wednesday, Bhardwaj, also attached a check of Rs.50,000 which he got with the award in 2004 and sent "prateek chinh" separately.

Bhardwaj has won the prestigious honour for his book 'Samhi khulto marag.' 

Not only writers the common man’s feeling were also threatened in the present scenario where freedom of expression has been facing fundamentalist and communal challenges, he alleged. “This is a protest against religious and creative intolerance which is rising in recent time,” he added. Mr. Bhardwaj is also the Rajasthan coordinator for Jaipur Literature Festivals, since its inception.
