Kamaraj and their model of governance. He even skipped reference to BR Ambedkar, the father of the In- dian Constitution. In doing so he deviated from the official speech provided to him. The Constitution does not bar a governor to deviate from the prepared text but traditionally they have stuck to speeches provided by a government. The uproar was also due to the portions Ravi added to the speech. How- ever, leaving out Ambedkar and some of the DMK stalwarts could have been avoided. Relations between the Tamil Nadu governor and the DMK government MK Stalin have soured over various issues like the former sitting over about 20 Bills including one on banning online gambling. The gover- nor’s suggestion to rename Ta- mil Nadu as Tamizhagam is the latest irritant between the two. The cooling of tempers is un- likely soon. TOP TWEETS G eattle in the Unit- ed States is too far away from India to attract notice but a suit filed by some public schools against social media companies must be taken serious note of. The lawsuit filed by the Seattle Public Schools in a US district court said that the social media was responsible for worsening mental health and behavioral disorders like anxiety, depression, disorderly eating and cyber-bullying making it difficult to educate students. The companies named in the lawsuit include Alphabet Inc, Meta Inc, Snap IncandTikTok-ownerByteD- ance. Blaming the tech giants for exploiting “the vulnera- ble brains of youth” to hook tens of millions of students across the country to their platforms. The suit also said, “De- fendants recommend and promote harmful content to youth, such as pro-anorexia and eating disorder content.” It even quantified the damage done by these platforms stating that in decade from 2009 to 2019 there was on av- erage a 30 percent increase with students feeling “so sad or helpless almost every day for 2 weeks or more in a row.” The use of social media has become a strong habit of children in India too. A study commissioned by National Commission for Protection of Child Rights showed that 42.9 percent of 3,400 school- going children confessed to having social networking accounts. Besides, 37.8% and 24.3% of 10-year-olds sur- veyed had Facebook and Ins- tagram accounts, which was against minimum age of 13 years for opening a account. There’s little effort being made by the government to prevent children from falling into the social media trap. TRAPPED IN SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK Lawsuit filed by Seattle Public Schools said that SM was responsible for worsening mental health, behavioral disorders like anxiety, depression, disorderly eating and cyber-bullying, making it difficult to educate students S he increasing tensions with China on our Northern Bor- ders and strained relations with Pakistan, the modernization of armed forces demand huge investments by our country year on year forcing India to be a leading importer of defence equipment in the world. As per sources, the Indian Defence market is anticipated to record a Compound Annual Growth Rate of over 4% between 2020 and 2026. This, in turn, is likely to benefit self- sufficiency and ‘Make in In- dia’ Defence Projects. So, what is meant by De- fence offset? In simple words, it is an obligation by foreign suppliers to invest in India and aid the domestic defence industryeitherthroughdirect investment or by partnering withdomesticdefenceplayers orbytransferof technologyto an Indian defence enterprise. Though the policy for offset in defence deals was initiated in 2005, the first offset contract was made in 2007. How- ever, it was only in 2012 that the policy makers stated the objectives for defence offsets to support capital acquisitions to develop Indian defence industry by fostering development of global com- petitive enterprises, aug- menting capacity for R D related to defence and finally encouraging development of synergistic sectors like aerospace, and internal security”. As it generally happens, the change of govt in Delhi got the policy tweaked again in 2016 and then in 2020. In 2016 amendment, the foreign vendors were exempted from providing all the details of offset at the time of contract and were given the leeway of declaration either at the time of seeking offset credits or, twelve months before the discharge of offset obligations. But in my opinion, the ma- jor change was brought in 2020 which raised the limit of offset obligation of 30% of the cost to the procurements exceeding Rs 2000 crore against the earlier limit of Rs 300 crore. In addition, the changes specified that the clause of offset are non op- erative if the deals are government-to-government or it is ab initio one vendor deal, or inter-governmental agree- ments. Nevertheless, all other foreign vendor competi- tive deals were to continue with the clause of 30% offset. While the govt authorities went gaga on their policy making, the story was not as rosy , if read with the perspective of ‘The Comptroller and Auditor General’ of our country. Auditors had de- fined relevant clauses as a mechanism established with a three-fold objectives of firstly, partially compensat- ing for outflow of Indian resources. Secondly, ensuring induction of sophisticated new technology and thirdly, enhancing capacities and capabilities of defence industry in the country . It was con- sidered an obligation on the supplier to either “reverse purchase goods manufac- tured in India or, execute export orders on such goods.” Though the report submitted by the CAG is not fully in public domain, the sources in media reveal that all is not well in the defence offset deals. From the first contract signed in 2007 until March 2018, CAG said, 46 offset con- tracts have been signed for Rs 66,427 crore and till De- cember 2018, Rs 19,223 crore worth of offsets should have been discharged. However, the claimed discharge of the offset obligation by the end 2018 was Rs 11,396 crore only . The balance of obligation of Rs 55,000 crore is to be execut- ed by 2024 for which the auditors are not very hopeful. The report further reveals that besides financial fail- ures, the offset policy has also not been successful in acquiring advanced technol- ogies or even significantly enhancing industrial or manufacturing capabilities which is against the stated objectives of the offset policy . There is no doubt that In- dia has giant aspirations for its offset resources. But lam- entably, the current state does not appear to be steering the country to its terminal aim of self-reliance in defence production. If I may say, probably we are lacking the required strategic vision and systematised priority for implementing offset policy . As a result, we put the onus of developing offset projects on foreign firms whose natural inclination will never be aligned with our national aims. Moreover, In- diaisnotindustryreadyason date to absorb large volume of offsets. The country’s public and private Sector Under- takings I defence are inefficient and lack adequate infra- structuretoacceptstateof the art technology .

Yet another effort has been made by the state govt for a scientific study with the help of satellite imagery of the crisis in the sinking town, Bhatt said. However, a detailed zonation mapping of Himalayas in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, warning of the lurking dangers in Joshi- math, was submitted to state govt more than two decades ago, he said. ‘UNFIT FOR LIVING’ BUILDINGS PAINTED WITH RED X SYMBOL IN ‘SINKING’ TOWN Joshimath: With the prevailing situation in Joshimath grim in the wake of the land subsidence incident, the Chamoli District Magistrate Himanshu Khurana said all dangerous buildings in the holy town have been marked with a red ‘X’ symbol.

New Delhi (ANI): AIMIM chief Asadud- din Owaisi has said the BJP will have a clear edge over the Opposi- tion in 2024 Lok Sabha polls if a face is pitted against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Owaisi said the Oppo- sitionneedstogalvanise in each Lok Sabha constituency to defeat the BJP. He said, “The Op- position should look to put up a tough fight for all the 540 parliamenta- ry constituencies. If a single opposition face fights against BJP, the latter will benefit. If it’s Modi versus (Arvind) Kejriwal or Rahul Gan- dhi, the PM would be at an advantage.” In 2019, Opposition had formed a grand alliance in a bid to unseat the Modi govt. However, the alliance did not suc- ceed in its objective and eventually fell apart. With the focus now on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the AAP recently claimed the battle for 2024 will be one between Delhi CM Arvind Kejri- wal and PM Modi. A known baiter of the BJP at the Centre, Telangana CM K Chan- drashekar Rao, too, re- modelled his party, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi into the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and got recognised as a national party in a bid to upstage the saffron party in the LS polls.

So one is not certain if she should be the Opposi- tion face against PM Modi.” “Advantage to Modi if Oppn pits a PM face” OWAISI’S TAKE ON 2024 If a single opposition face fights against BJP, the latter will benefit.

Only four aldermen could take oath before the House plunged into chaos. The AAP alleged that the BJP made the aldermen take oath first in order to get them voting rights for the mayor and deputy mayor elections. “We are here to protest against what was done on January 6. We feel that these nominated aldermen were ad- ministered oath first as they might be given voting rights. We want a statement from the LG that they will not vote and only then our protest will end,” said AAP’s mayoral candi- date Shelly Oberoi. Lt Governor VK Sax- ena had nominated 10 aldermen to the MCD House on January 3. The AAP had alleged that all the nominated members were BJP workers and the civic body sent their names directly to Saxena without keeping the city government in the loop.
