Bhoomipujan of the ambitious Dry Port proposed at Wardha would be performed on Oct 2
Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Surface Transport, Shipping and Water Conservation, announced that the bhoomipujan of the ambitious Dry Port proposed at Wardha would be performed on Oct 2.
Central Government will invest Rs 10,000 crore to create the facility. State Industrial and Investment Corporation of Maharashtra (SICOM) land has been transferred to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) for the Dry Port project. It will be a satellite port of JNPT, Navi Mumbai. The export and import procedure for goods will be the same as at JNPT, said Gadkari.
Gadkari was interacting with reporters during a press conference on Saturday. In the capacity of Union Shipping Minister, he had announced the project in August 2014. The project was proposed on SICOM land, but there was some delay in transfer of the land to JNPT.
Now, that it has been done, the project is all set to take-off and bhoomipujan will be the first step in that direction. It will be beneficial for the entire Vidarbha region as goods worth an estimated Rs 8,500 crore pass through Nagpur annually. With the dry port, and also the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Corridor project, economic activity in the region will get a major boost. This project will help the farmers in stronger market connectivity. He said that he was also working on a project to increase production of Bamboo in the suicide-hit Vidarbha region to improve financial condition of farmers.
Bamboo cultivation has potential to generate employment for 5 lakh people in the districts of Vidarbha region. Bamboo plantation can be useful in making shirts, bed-sheets, furniture, pulp, bio-ethanol, incense sticks, and other purposes. There is a huge demand for bamboo in interior decoration of starred hotels in the country.
Gadkari appreciated Sudhir Mungantiwar, Forest Minister, for waiving the requirement of transit pass during transportation of bamboo in the State. This will boost bamboo production in Maharashtra, Gadkari said. Farmers can produce 200 tonnes of bamboo in one acre of land and earn Rs 25,000/- per tonne, Gadkari said. Presently, India is importing timber worth Rs 40,000 crore and incense sticks worth Rs 4,000 crore.
Bamboo can be used for protection of crops in farms. The tribals of Gadchiroli district can earn huge money from bamboo cultivation. The Government can use abandoned mines for large-scale plantation of bamboo.

Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Shipping and Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation Nitin Gadkari and chief minister Devendra Fadnavis have finalized that the Inter Model Station in Ajni and the Multi model logistic hub will be constructed at Khapri. Totally, both will cost an estimated Rs 1,400 crore.
Fadnavis said that the Central Jail will be shifted out of the city making available 150 acres in the heart of Nagpur. Gadkari added that the four road corridors from city to Indore, Raipur, Solapur and Surat will be connected under the central government’s Bharat Mala Scheme.
These decisions were taken at a meeting organized with the officials of Bharat Mala Scheme, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Mahametro in the city on Friday.
In April, Gadkari had announced plans to develop IMS — a centralized and integrated infrastructure facility linking bus stop, metro station and railway station in the city and PM Narendra Modi’s assembly constituency of Varanasi. Then, he had said it would be either at Ajni or Khapri.
Indian Railways has 450 acres land at Ajni. IMS requires 50-60 acres land. Ajni has a railway station and the construction of Metro rail station is also going on close by. The city bus service can be easily connected to Ajni. Also, the airport is closer to Ajni. The IMS will have a multi-level parking and also commercial shops.
Gadkari said HPCL was shifting its depot from Khapri to outside the city “so that land can be an ideal place for a logistic hub”.
Gadkari directed Mahametro managing director Brijesh Dixit to prepare a plan for Metro rail phase-II extending the network to Kanhan, Butibori, Koradi and Kapsi. “I will ensure commercial place is made available for extension of Metro rail corridors. The NHAI is constructing a new bridge on Kanhan river. Mahametro should consult NHAI and include a Metro rail corridor on it to prevent from additional expense in future,” he said.
In Central Government’s budget already Rs 1,600 crore fund reserved for both projects as it require Rs 1,400 crore. The Inter-Modal Station projects require Rs 975 crore and Multi-Modal Logistic Park in Khapri required Rs 425 crore respectively. Inter-Modal Station in Ajni will play a major role for this project.

Pakistan is terroristan, Hitting back sharply at Pakistan at the United Nations, New Delhi slammed Islamabad for being “synonymous with terrorism”.
Making use of its right-to-reply, India’s First Secretary to the United Nations, Eenam Gambhir said, “Pakistan has become terroristan”.
Gambhir’s statement came as India exercised its right to reply to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he raked up the Kashmir issue and accused India of “terrorism against Pakistan”.
“By now, all Pakistans neighbours are painfully familiar with these tactics to create a narrative based on distortions, deception and deceit,” Gambhir said, asserting that efforts at creating alternative facts do not change reality.
Hitting back, India reminded Pakistan and the United Nations of terrorists, including 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, who continue to enjoy safe havens in the neighbouring country. New Delhi also pointed out that Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar were both found to have been living in Pakistan.
“It is extraordinary that the state which protected Osama Bin Laden and sheltered Mullah Omar should have the gumption to play the victim…. Its current state can be gauged from the fact that Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, a leader of the UN designated terrorist organization Lashkar-i-Taiba, is now sought to be legitimised as a leader of a political party,” Eenam Gambhir said.
She said, can justify Pakistan’s avaricious efforts to covet territories of its neighbours. “In so far as India is concerned, Pakistan must understand that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India. However much it scales up cross-border terrorism, it will never succeed in undermining India’s territorial integrity.”
Ms Gambhir also said Pakistan, after diverting billions of dollars in aid towards creating a dangerous infrastructure of terror, was “the polluter paying the price”.
“Even as terrorists thrive in Pakistan and roam its streets with impunity, we have heard it lecture about human rights in India. The world does not need lessons on democracy and human rights from a country whose own situation is charitably described as a failed state,” she said.

India rode on Virat Kohli’s 92 and Kuldeep Yadav’s hat-trick to beat Australia by 50 runs in 2nd ODI of the five-match ODI series at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, September 21. The Men in Blue now have taken a 2-0 lead in the series.
Chasing a tricky total of 253 on a two-paced wicket, Australia got off to a worst possible start as Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed openers David Warner and Hilton Cartwright early. However, skipper Steve Smith and Travis Head, who was gifted a life after Rohit Sharma dropped him on 15, stitched a 76-run stand.
Virat Kohli’s Team India completed a 50-run win over Australia in the second ODI here on Thursday, thanks to a sensational hat-trick from Kuldeep Yadav. Having decided to bat, India lost Rohit Sharma early, but Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane took the team forward, finishing the innings at 252 all out.
Both Kohli (92) and Rahane (55) got out during the innings, with the former being eight short of his 31st ODI ton. For the Aussie bowlers, Nathan-Coulter-Nile and Kane Richardson picked up three wickets, while Pat Cummins and Ashton Agar picked one each.
In reply in 2nd ODI, the Aussies never looked settled, after having lost openers Hilton Cartwright and David Warner early. But, captain Steve Smith’s 59 in his 100th ODI gave hope for the visitors. Marcus Stoinis, too, joined the party by scoring his maiden fifty, but Kane Richardson’s departure courtesy the final wicket for Bhuvneshwar denied Australia the match.
Australia will have one last chance to step up in this series when the two teams now head to Indore for the third ODI on Sunday.
Kolkata: Kuldeep Yadav became the third Indian after Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev to bag an ODI hat-trick.
Kuldeep, bowling his eighth over, dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins off successive deliveries in the 33rd over of the Australian innings to derail their chase of 253 in the second ODI at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Playing only his ninth ODI, Kuldeep was under pressure, having conceded 39 runs in 7 overs in a low-scoring affair.
However, with constant tactical supervision from MS Dhoni behind the stumps, Kuldeep continued to unleash his variety and put Australia under pressure.
Eventually in his eighth over, Kuldeep ripped apart Australia’s lower-order as India took a stanglehold of the match.
Kuldeep stormed into the international scene earlier this year in the Dharamsala Test against Australia when he replaced an injured Virat Kohli. His impressive spells against the visitors left observers impressed.
Later in 2017, Kuldeep made his ODI debut in the West Indies and snared eight wickets by the end of the series. In Sri Lanka, the left-arm chinaman spinner took three wickets from the last two ODIs he played in.
Incidentally, Kuldeep achieved the feat in his IPL homeground. He plays for two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders and is an integral part of their bowling attack.
Navratri 2017 Fasts during Navratri: Puja, Nine different names in Navratri
Navratri marks the beginning of the nine-day festival devoted to goddess Durga. It is believed that during the course of these nine days, goddess Durga visits our home in her nine forms. The nine-day long festival comprises of fasting, daily pujas and participation in events. While the festival comes every autumn, it also commemorates Lord Rama’s victory of killing Ravana.
Northern part of India participates in this festival. People fast for nine days and refrain from eating daily food items like rice and Indian bread. This year Sharad Navratri will be between 21st September to 29th September. A major festival in the Indian transcripts, Navratri is the beginning of a host of festivals like Dussehra and Diwali. Goddess Durga is the symbol of power, prosperity, wealth, and health and hence nine forms of Durga are celebrated during this time. Along with Goddess Durga (and her other forms like Goddess Shakti), her daughters Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswati are also worshipped during Navratri. Devotional music like bhajan renditions and also the garba dance in Gujarat mark Navratri celebrations.
Navratri Fasting you need to do:
Take a bath every day. You need to keep yourself clean at all times.
Stick to the Navratri diet which includes nuts, fruits, dairy products like milk and butter and selected flours
Read the shlokas from Durga chalisa or any mantras you know of and devote them to Goddess Durga.
At the end of the nine-day festival, serve food to girls as goddess Durga is known to reside in them.
Do not keep your home dirty. Keep it clean at all times possible.
No consumption of alcohol, drugs, eggs, non-vegetarian food, onions, garlic during this period.
Another popular belief during this time is not to cut your hair.
It is also believed that cutting nails or stitching during this time should be avoided.
Goddess Durga is Worshipped under nine different names in Navratri :
Shailputri: After self-immolation in Her form as Sati, the Mother Goddess took birth as the daughter of Lord Himalaya. In Sanskrit, Shail means “the mountain”, due to which this form is known as Shailputri, the daughter of the mountain.
Brahmacharini: Mother Goddess took birth at the home of Daksha Prajapati, as his daughter, Sati, who was born to marry Shiva. This unmarried form of the Mother Goddess is worshipped as Brahmacharini.
Chandraghanta: Goddess Chandraghanta is the married form of the Mother Goddess following on from Shailputri and Mahagauri. After getting married to Shiva, Goddess Mahagauri started adorning her forehead with a half moon(Chandra) shaped like a bell(Ghanta) due to which, she became known as Goddess Chandraghanta.
Kuchmanda: Mother Goddess started living within the Sun thereby liberating the Sun’s energy to the universe. Since then, this form of the Goddess has been known as Kushmanda, namely for her power and capability to live inside the Sun. The glow and radiance of her body is as luminous as that of the Sun.
Skand Mata: In her form as mother of the God of War, Lord Skanda(also known as Kartikeya), she is known as Goddess Skandamata.
Kalratri: This is the fiercest and the most ferocious form of the Mother Goddess, in which she manifests to destroy the demons, Sumbha and Nisumbha.
Maha Gauri: According to Hindu Religion, the Goddess Shailputri at the age of sixteen was extremely beautiful and blessed with a fair complexion. Due to her extremely fair complexion, she was known as Goddess Mahagauri.
Siddhidatri: In the beginning of the universe, Lord Rudra worshipped the unmanifest form of the Mother Goddess, Adi Parashakti for creation. As Adi Parashakti, the Mother Goddess was pure energy and had no form. She thus appeared in the form of Siddhidatri from the left half of Shiva.

India stands with Mexico in this hour of grief @LVidegaray 2/2
The destruction revived horrific memories in Mexico on the anniversary of another massive quake in 1985, the disaster-prone country’s deadliest ever.
This was the second major earthquake to hit the tremor-prone country in as many weeks. On September 7, an earthquake of magnitude 8.1 struck off the southern coast of Mexico, killing at least 90 people.
As rescuers clawed through the debris looking for survivors early Thursday morning, volunteers brought water and food amid the chaos. Soldiers, rescuers and medics didn’t stop working despite the rain and the risk of a further collapse.
Tuesday earthquake was centered about 75 miles southeast of Mexico City and caused extensive damage, leveling at least 44 buildings, including homes, schools and office buildings, according to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who did a flyover of the city Tuesday afternoon.
President Donald Trump spoke with Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto Wednesday to extend condolences for the lives lost and the damage caused by the earthquake, the White House said in a statement. Trump also offered assistance and search and rescue teams, which are being deployed now.

Apple iOS 11 now out for iPhones iPads, iPod Touch users. Apple iOS 11 release started at 10.00 AM Pacific Time yesterday evening, which was around 10.30 PM IST for users in India. Here’s a quick look at the top features of iOS 11, what time the new software will release, and the full list of compatible devices.
Even if you’re not upgrading to iPhone X or iPhone 8, your device will feel as good as new thanks to several user interface changes and fresh features. iOS 11 launched today (Tuesday, September 19), which is exactly one week after the iPhone 8 and iPhone X launch event. It’s come out of beta after a four-month test phase.
Apple iOS 11 is now available for all users globally. In India, users with a compatible iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch should be able to download the new iOS 11 software directly on their devices. Users should get a notification in their device alerting them of the new update provided one is connected to the internet.
Just go to Settings>About>Software Update on your iOS device and check if the update has arrived. You will be required to download it on your iOS device and then install it. There’s also the option of installing this via iTunes software on your MacBook.
List of compatible iPhone, iPads
Apple iOS 11 is compatible with the following devices: iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, which is a given considering these have just been launched. It will also support these older iPhones: iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone SE, iPhone 5s. For Apple iPhone 4S, 5, 5C users, however, it is now time to give up these devices as Apple would no longer support their software.
For iPads, Apple iOS 11 will work with 12.9-inch iPad Pro (second generation), 12.9-inch iPad Pro (first generation), 10.5-inch iPad Pro, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, iPad (fifth generation), iPad Air 2, iPad Air. The iPad Mini list includes iPad Mini 4, 3 and 2. iPod Touch (sixth generation) is also supported for those still holding onto these.
iOS 11 features exclusive to the new iPhones
Apple is combining emoji with animations, and it takes advantage of the iPhone X’s 3D face-scanning TrueDepth camera array. The result is Animoji, which tracks the muscles in your face to animate the emoji. All of your Messages texts will benefit (or suffer, depending on your view of expressive emoji).
Face ID and home-button-replacing gesture-swiping will also be an iPhone X-only feature. Face ID replaces Touch ID as a biometric sensor, and it’s going to take time for people to learn how iOS 11 replaces the home button on the new flagship Apple phone.
Portrait Lighting, also available on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, is an option Apple has added to its existing background-blurring Portrait Mode photos. It uses the dual-lens depth-sensing camera and machine learning to simulate a range of lighting effects: Contour Light, Natural Light, Stage Light, Stage Light Mono, and Studio Light.
Apple iOS 11 now supports Hindi dictation as well in Siri. The camera’s Portrait mode in iPhone 7 Plus Portrait mode now supports optical image stabilization, HDR and True Tone flash. Apple also says photos and videos will now occupy less space with a new HEIF and HEVC image and video formats.
Apple Maps now have indoor maps for major airports and shopping centres, and there’s a DND mode while driving. On the iPad, users will see a new dock to access their most recently used apps, favourite apps, and this can be resized. Also apps can be easily started in Slide Over and Split View from the Dock itself. There’s also multi-Touch to move multiple items at the same time and the ability to search handwritten text itself. The new Files app will let users browse, search and organise files and it will work with iCloud Drive and third party cloud file providers.
Nagpur: Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is creating a smart parking bay at Central Bazar Road stretch from Hotel Tuli International to Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth Hostel Square. This may be the first smart parking with sensors and boom barriers for designated parking of four-wheelers..
It may be mentioned that several trees are planted along road sides to strengthen green cover. The Unity Infrastructure has started cement road construction while Larsen and Tubro is providing smart network on the road. Though pace of construction is painfully slow, the NMC has promised a much better facility, once the project is completed.
Presently, the road is buzzing with two-wheelers and four wheelers. The footpath is very wide and therefore, all the vehicles parked by the road side leaving less space for vehicular traffic and commuters.
NMC Smart Parking Solution
NMC can update all the available parking spaces in the city on NMCzoom application.
Citizens / societies can also upload their parking spaces in any area for parking in the central database.
Citizens looking for parking space can search for parking space in a particular area and can RENT it online on
NMCzoom application. ( Not Yet release )
This willl encourage everybody with spare parking space to upload the same on NMCzoom, thereby creating more parking inventory.
Municipal Commissioner has suggested parking of four-wheelers on footpath without cutting any tree. This will provide more space to the commuters on Central Bazar Road, and safe parking of four-wheelers without creating obstruction to the smooth flow of traffic. The parking will be connected with boom barriers and smart sensors.
The 1.5 meter wide footpath will be marked after parking of four-wheelers to ensure space for pedestrians. The NMC is also planning a cycle track on the road stretch, Gupta added. He said, almost 87 parking bays will be created and 86 sensors will be installed on the road. This will be the first smart parking bay on pilot basis. During cement road construction, the road will be up by 10 inch and will align with the footpath. Therefore, it is easy to transform footpath as parking bay, he added.
Nagpur: In a first of sorts, South Korea has shown interest in investing in Samruddhi Corridor, some big-ticket infrastructure projects in India and the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway – a dream project of Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis – is on top of the list.
Maharashtra has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Korean Land and Housing Corporation, an undertaking of the South Korean government that specialises in land development, town planning and creation of housing stock.
The CM will be visiting South Korea and Singapore from September 25. The government will be seeking a loan from a South Korean bank, Korea Land and Housing Corporation, for the Samruddhi Corridor. A special purpose vehicle will be created for the project,” said an official from the CMO.
According to sources, only seven to eight banks came forward to extend loans for this project during a meeting on Wednesday attended by the CM. The banks were ready to disburse a `7000 crore loan, but it was not sufficient. “Banks are not ready to lend that kind of money. So, the government presented a revenue model in the meeting,” the official added. After the local banks’ inability to disburse loan, it was decided to check out options from the South Korean bank.
The Korean government had initially expressed interest in building the expressway, but we do projects through competitive bidding. Then they were keen to build the nodes. We have prepared detailed notes and presentations in Korean, and we are likely to sign a deal that would bring investment for the expressway project as well as others,” a Maharashtra official said.
KLHC will assist the government to build 24 townships created along the proposed expressway, and may also take up the development of a couple of nodes by themselves.The project will cost Rs 12,000 crore.
Along with the Samruddhi Corridor, the government is also going to seek South Korea’s financial assistance to redevelop the Mhada government colony in Bandra and a newly proposed township in suburban Kalyan-Dombivali area, the official added. The government intends to develop the Nagpur and Pune airports and will be signing MoUs with Singapore’s Changi airport, one of the biggest in the world.
US defence firms want control over technology in Make in India plan
United States defense firms offering to set up production lines in India to win deals worth billions of dollars want stronger assurances they won’t have to part with proprietary technology, according to a business lobby group’s letter to India’s defense minister.
These companies are also saying they shouldn’t be held liable for defects in products manufactured in collaboration with local partners under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India plan drive to build a military-industrial base.
Lockheed Martin and Boeing are both bidding to supply combat jets to India’s military, which is running short of hundreds of aircraft as it retires Soviet-era MiG planes, and its own three-decade-long effort to produce a domestic jet is hobbled by delays.
Lockheed has offered to shift its F-16 production line to India from Fort Worth, Texas, and make it the sole factory worldwide if India orders at least 100 single-engine fighters.
The US firm has picked Tata Advanced Systems as its local partner under the defense ministry’s new Strategic Partnership model under which foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can hold up to a 49 percent stake in a joint venture with an Indian private firm which will hold the majority of shares.
The US-India Business Council (USIBC) wrote to India’s defense minister last month seeking a guarantee that US firms would retain control over sensitive technology – even as joint venture junior partners.
“Control of proprietary technologies is a major consideration for all companies exploring public and private defense partnerships,” the business lobby, which represents 400 firms, said in the Aug. 3 letter, reviewed by Reuters and previously unreported.
“To allow foreign OEMs to provide the most advanced technologies, the partnership arrangement between an Indian owned ‘strategic partner’ company and a foreign OEM needs to provide an opportunity for the foreign OEM to retain control over its proprietary technology,” it said, noting this wasn’t explicit in the policy document.
Technology transfer
Technology transfer is at the heart of Modi’s drive to build a domestic industrial base and cut a reliance on imports that has made India the world’s biggest arms importer in recent years.
Without full tech transfer in previous arms deals, India’s mainly state-run defence factories have largely been left to assemble knock-down kits even for tanks and aircraft produced under license from the foreign maker.
Modi’s advisers have vowed to change that, insisting on transfer of technology so that critical military equipment are designed and manufactured in India.
Benjamin Schwartz, USIBC’s director for defense and aerospace, said the new Indian policy offered a roadmap for establishing partnerships between U.S. and Indian companies, but it raised some questions for the firms.
He said he was not in a position to name those companies concerned by the Indian policy, but there was a “general desire to see increased clarity” on several aspects, including the control of proprietary technologies.
Quality Issues
The USIBC also opposed a clause in the new rules that held foreign firms jointly responsible for the quality of the platforms provided to the military, saying legal liability is a significant factor in business decisions.
“We recommend the MoD (Ministry of Defence) affirm that foreign OEMs will not be liable for defects outside their company’s control,” the USIBC said.
Lockheed did not respond to a request for comment. Boeing, which is bidding for a separate contract to sell its F/A-18 Super Hornets for India’s aircraft carrier fleet, declined to comment on the USIBC letter, but the company’s India president, Pratyush Kumar, said there were concerns about Indian private firms’ lack of experience in the aerospace sector.
Only state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd had made planes under license, while some private players were starting from scratch, having never built even an aircraft component. Kumar said he could not find a single example worldwide of a private enterprise with limited experience building out a plane under transfer of technology.
“Look at Turkey, look at Japan, look at Brazil – look at multiple countries. In all cases there is a fine balancing act of co-opting the capabilities of both public and private enterprise,” he said.
India’s defense ministry offered no response to the concerns expressed by the trade lobbying group on the strategic partnership model, which will also apply to building submarines and helicopters as part of a $150 billion modernization drive.
But an official, referring to sensitive technology, said the government has made clear in the past that foreign firms can be allowed to increase their stake beyond 49 percent if the technology they bring in is state-of-the art.
“It can be done on a case-to-case basis,” the official said.
Mukesh Aghi, president of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, said that despite the starting problems, defense manufacturing looked set to be a breakthrough area in ties between India and the United States under Make in India plan.
“It’s the next big thing. There is strong support from the (U.S. President Donald) Trump administration to take this forward.”

Mumbai: Indian government may launch India’s own cryptocurrency ‘ Lakshmi ‘- The Indian government is considering a proposal to introduce its cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoins, as per a Business Standard Report. As per undisclosed sources, the proposal was discussed by a committee of government officials, and the panel found the idea of setting up and running blockchain for financial services useful. They also added that the government might name its cryptocurrency ‘Lakshmi‘.
If the government does go ahead with the proposal, the cryptocurrency so introduced will fall in the domain of the Reserve Bank of India. Consequently, some acts such as the Currency Act might have to be amended.
While running a ledger-like blockchain cryptocurrency is required for settlement, one also needs to remember that both RBI and government officials have stated that they are not comfortable with Bitcoin.
China, Russia, and Estonia are said to be considering having their own cryptocurrencies.
A few days ago RBI Executive Director Sudarshan Sen had talked about the central bank’s discomfort with Bitcoin, which has recently come under intense global regulatory scrutiny.
He had also hinted at the need for India’s own cryptocurrency.
Blue Whale Game: What You Need to Know to Keep Your Child Safe
In the modem environment where technology has become a boon in terms of development, its wrongful use in the absence of alertness Is becoming a curse for the new generation. Mobile is definitely helpful in connecting the new generation with updated technology, but excessive liberty given to children on use of mobile, ignorant attitude of family, lack of supervision, loneliness, among others, are drawing children into dangerous games like ‘Blue Whale’. This dangerous game originating in Russia, has also been introduced in many countries including India. In this game of death, over 10 children have lost their lives in India. Country’s first female cyber crime expert and founder of Halt Cyber Violence Awareness Centre Advocate Deepti Sutaria shared her views on the challenges of Blue Whale game, its fatal consequences and the role of family, society and the government, in this special interview to Our Nagpur Team.
Question: What are the challenges of Blue Whale game? Answer: The Blue Whale game has been created by a 21-year-old frustrated youth named Philipp Budeiken from Russia. This is not a sports app, but you connect yourself through a link in which 50 tasks are given to be performed one task per day. After completing the first task, the administrator of the that chat room gives the second task. As the tasks progress gradually, the youths are mentally conditioned and encouraged to commit suicide. This entire game takes control of the children passing through frustration, and pushes them into the jaws of death. The disadvantages of this game were first discovered by Russian woman journalist Galina who named it ‘Death Group’. Lack of communication in the family loneliness, pressure of education or family bitterness takes children closer to the game. This is a game of frustration and retribution.
Q: What are the signs of children facing the challenge of Blue Whale?
A: The current education system has put more burden on the children. They are often wider the pressure of studies. There is also pressure on them from the family to study. The emotional needs of children are not considered as important. Facing neglect from all around them including parents, children get frustrated and get trapped into retribution games like Blue Whale. In this trap, there are many contradictory changes in the behavior of children. The laughing baby looks silent and enjoys loneliness. There is unnecessary irritability in it. Many times aggression is also seen. This is the time when the family should understand the child’s mental state and start giving him or her Importance in order to bring him or her back on the track.
Q: What steps have been taken to protect children from this game?
A: In this context, I suggested to the Union women and child welfare minister Maneka Gandhi to ban Blue Whale game. On August 31, 2017, the letter was issued in this regard. Child helpline number 1098 has also been established. CBSE has also issued a letter to the schools to conduct workshops for children. Our centre is also organizing a workshop for parents with the India Wide Parents Association’s chief Anubha Sahay.
Q: How to educate school children and busy parents in this regard?
A: A workshop should be organised jointly by the CBSE or the schools for children, parents and teachers. In this workshop participants should be warned about the dangers of Blue Whale game and they should be mentally prepared to deal with it. This is a link and clickbait. It is also important to have a cyber psychologist with a cyber expert in the workshop. Our centre is linked to Dr. John Suller, London’s cyber psychologist, and his help also be taken.
Q: Is there a gap between children and parents?
A: Yes, there definitely is a gap between children and parents in this hectic world. We can see this gap as the absence of communication and the consequent lack of emotional understanding. when children see their parents are busy in other world, they choose their own path, creating problems for them. selves as well as the family to bridge this gap, dialogue based on mutual trust is very important.
Q: Are parents also responsible for the death of children?
A: In fact, in case of Blue Whale related deaths, no one can be held solely responsible. The blame can not be put on the child or Parent. Things become such that the children go to the point of ending lives.
Yes, as a part of alertness, parents should keep an eye on changes in the behavior of their children. In case of death of a child named Manpreet in Mumbai, the forensic report has not yet been received even after so long a time. Children in this game make a mark on their hands and legs. The true picture will emerge only if such things find a mention in the report.
Q: What Is the misuse of technology?
A: Such lethal game are only part of the misuse of technology. The freedom given to children on use of technology is producing negative results. In fact, we have been incomplete in copying the West We have neither remained Indian nor fully adopted western culture. This incomplete comprehension is causing difficulties for us.
Q: What steps has the current government taken to check the adverse effects of technology?
A: The government has not taken any stern steps other than High court the adverse effects of technology After surfacing of Blue Whale deaths, notices were issued by the Bombay High Court to Facebook, Google, etc. As for the government, it has only given assurance so far.
Q: What is your opinion In these cases?
A: I believe that the situation of frustration leads to children playing like a blue whale. To avoid these dangers, it is important that families maintain mutual communication and support each other emotionally. The biggest responsibility Iles on women. They should give the family more time.
Q: Which are the laws to deal with Information Technology cases?
A: The laws that the government has made to deal with the dangers of Information Technology are extremely inadequate. There are only 90 sections in the IT Act. Many cases are far from its reach. There are no laws to deal with the computer related and online cases. There should be cyber courts to deal with cybercrime cases.
Q: If technology is being misused, what is future of children born in this era?
A: Failure to stop misuse of technology will lead children in the wrong direction. Apart from deadly games like Blue Whale, hacking and money laundering are also dangerous aspects of technology. If this continues, the future of children is not secure. Children can become Steve Jobs and Bill Gates if technology is used in a positive manner. It is the joint responsibility of the family, society and the government society and the government to set the things right.
Do you think these type of challenges will keep coming in the future ?? Satan’s Alphabet and Hot water challenge are in the Queue.

Digital payment bound to pick up with new technology
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Monday expressed hope that digital payment is going to pick up momentum with more advanced technology coming into the market.
A lot of people went in for digitisation in terms of mode of payment more out of compulsion rather than finding it a more convenient method to transact, but that compulsion created a habit for many, he said after the launch of a mobile app for digital payments developed by Google for India.
“We reached a peak figure (after the demonetisation), then it marginally slipped and is now bound to pick up again,” he said. Built on the government-supported Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Tez allows users, free of charge, to make small or big payments straight from their bank accounts, Google said.
The app was built for India, working on the vast majority of the country’s smartphones, and is available in English and seven Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu). Tez, a Hindi word which means fast, works in partnership with four Banks — Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and State Bank of India (SBI) to facilitate the processing of payments across over 50 UPI-enabled banks.
The app allows users to make the payments through 3 modes. One is the through UPI ID, which is part of the government of India UPI interface. If you know the iD of a receiver you can simply input that and make the payment. The second way to pay is through a QR code, which a user will be able to scan and make the relevant payment. This will probably work similar to how the Paytm QR code scanning payment works. Finally, there is option to pay by using the phone number. This again probably works similar to how the Paytm phone number payment works.
In addition to the three modes, Google has built another mode, which is especial to Tez. This is called “cash” mode and it uses proximity. The way Google describes it, the Cash mode will allow two users to exchange money if they have the phones in close proximity. Just tap the “Cash” button in the Tez app and then follow the instructions. The phone uses proximity sensor and microphone to enable payment and it, in a way, works similar to how users share Bluetooth files.
While for the end-users, the app is called Tez, Google has also built a special version for businesses. This is called Tez for Business.
