Threat of 4th Wave Looming But Citizens Ignoring Booster Shot In Nagpur
Nagpur: Despite apprehension of fourth novel Coronavirus (covid-19) wave in July, the people of Second Capital of the State do not seem to be bothered.
It is pertinent to mention that Nagpur district has already have the lowest rate of corona vaccination’s second dose at 75.77%. The rate of booster or precautionary dose is at pathetic 4.62%
The number of Corona patients are on the rise in the state. In Nagpur district too, 56 patients havebeen registered in the past three days. Corona vaccination is the only way to prevent outbreaks.
According to experts, the third turned out to be mild as 70% people had taken first dose in Nagpur district. Only 5% patients needed hospitalization then. However, after the third wave, the response to the vaccination reduced.
Presidential polls on July 18 : EC | Our Nagpur | Nagpur News
NEW DELHI: With the Election Commission announcing the presidential election on Thursday, the spotlight is on YSR Congress and Biju Janata Dal as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is just short of the halfway mark.
June 29 is the last date for candidates to file papers. Voting is scheduled for July 18 and counting on July 21.
While PM Modi will have the final word on deciding the presidential candidate, support from YSRCP or BJD would pave the way for NDA’s nominee in the race for the country’s top office. Recently, YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy and Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik had met Modi in Delhi, although it is not clear what transpired during the meeting. The two regional parties have maintained a low profile; both went with BJP in backing Ramnath Kovind in 2017.
Based on the current arithmetic, NDA is around 13,000 votes short and support from either BJD, which has over 31,000 votes in the electoral college, or YSRCP (over 43,000 votes) will ensure smooth sailing for the BJP-led alliance. NDA is estimated to have 5.26 lakh votes out of a possible 10.79 lakh in the electoral college, comprising elected members of the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and the state legislatures. The numbers could change after the ongoing Rajya Sabha polls, but probably not enough to change the big picture.
The NDA has the option to renominate Kovind, field vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu, who is seen as a potential candidate or, like last time when it fielded a Dalit face from Patna Raj Bhawan, spring a surprise.
Although BJP’s numbers have significantly increased in the Lok Sabha, its changed equations with the regional parties and reduced strength in several state assemblies have led to its reliance on regional parties such as YSRCP and BJD. The party has severed ties with Shiv Sena, and Akali Dal, while AIADMK members occupy fewer benches in the Tamil Nadu assembly.
The saffron party won the Uttar Pradesh polls this year, but its numbers have reduced. Besides, it has suffered losses in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and also in Madhya Pradesh compared to the numbers it had in the 2017 presidential polls.
But the NDA seems to have an edge, especially because the opposition is yet to come to a common ground on a candidate, who could be a career politician or a distinguished personality. There has been a tug-of-war among the opposition parties with regional parties such as TMC, TRS and AAP insisting on a non-Congress joint front against BJP.
NDA strategists are confident of sailing through as they feel the margin is not insurmountable in the context of this polarised situation and because of the steadfast refusal of regional satraps from allying with the opposition camp.
While the decision on the candidate is formally for the BJP parliamentary board and NDA to take, there is near unanimity that the PM will have the final say in the matter.
While the presidentship is supposed to be a constitutional post, political parties have tried to capitalise on it. The last time, the nomination of Kovind, a Dalit, was done at a time the BJP leadership had launched a countrywide bid to win the Dalit community’s support.

Four Nagpur Girls Who Lost Parents To Covid Score High Marks In HSC
NAGPUR: In what could be seen as a befitting tribute to their departed parents, whom they lost to Covid during the deadly second wave last year, and overcoming grief as well as financial challenges, four girl students from Adarsh Vidya Mandir, Gandhibagh branch, scored high marks in the HSC exam.
The school management too pitched in by waiving off all fees and helping them with books and other study material.
Kunika Amesar lost her father, sole earning member in the family, last year to Covid. With her mother being a homemaker and a younger brother still in high school, financial woes for the family had just begun. But Kunika stayed strong and scored a whopping 83.83% in arts stream.
“Initially, it was very difficult to concentrate on studies but I did it anyway,” said Kunika, who preferred not to get into details.
With the sole earning member of the family gone, her mother Pammi had to now step forward. “I have started a small cloth business from home itself. Kunika is now also training to be a beautician and wants to get into fashion designing. It’s tough, but we are positive that things will be on track,” said Pammi.
In a tragic coincidence, Kunika’s collegemates from the same arts stream Pakhi Bandu (84.83%) and Saniya Tofik (73.5%) too lost their father and mother, respectively, during the second wave of the Covid pandemic.
Another student from commerce stream, Rohini Kokate (86.83%) also lost her father to Covid. TOI tried to get in touch with all of them, but either their mobiles were switched off or out of network area.
All four students got major support when the school management decided to stand firmly behind them. Ashnarayan Tiwari, principal of Adarsh Vidya Mandir, said, “It was extremely heartbreaking to learn about the loss these kids faced. Knowing well that all four were academically very good students, the management decided to waive off all fees for them and even provided them with books. Though educational institutes were closed for a long time amid the pandemic, our teachers took extra efforts for these students and the results are the testimony of the girls’ determination to excel.”
India Reports 2,430 New COVID-19 Cases | Our Nagpur
On Tuesday, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation administration issued an alarm after 25 positive COVID-19 cases were discovered in the area, 15 of which were from the city alone.
The increase follows a steady rise in cases over the previous ten days, which appeared to be levelling down in the last few days. The data released today, which are several times higher than the daily average over the previous few days, came as a shock.
The emphasis is on increasing the number of tests in order to break the chain. According to NMC administrator Radhakrishnan B, instructions have been provided to conduct Covid testing at the airport, railway stations, marketplaces, malls, and vegetable markets.
Passengers travelling by flight from Delhi and Mumbai, as well as locals who come into contact with them, have been urged to get tested by the administration. The health department will also focus on testing super spreaders in busy venues such as markets, malls, and vegetable markets, as directed by the municipal commissioner.
To avoid becoming infected or spreading infection, the administration advised residents to acquire both doses of the coronavirus vaccine and to use masks in crowded areas or ceremonies. In light of the escalating number of corona patients, the health department held a conference in the Corona War Room at the business headquarters on Tuesday

मी चिंधीचोरी करीत नाही : वंजारी
मी अशी चिंधीचोरीची कामे कधी करीत नाही. कुठल्याही अधकारी किंवा कंत्राटदाराला दुसऱ्याच्या बेंचवर पेंट मारून माझे नाव टाकण्यास मी सांगितले नाही व सांगणारही नाही. माझा स्वत:चा आमदार निधी मी जनसेवेसाठी वापरत आलो आहे. गरज भासली तर महाविकास आघाडी सरकारकडून आणखी निधी खेचून आणेन, अशी प्रतिक्रिया आ. अभिजित वंजारी यांनी याप्रकरणी लोकमतशी बोलताना दिली. पोलिसांनी कुठल्याही प्रकारची चौकशी केली तर आपल्याला हरकत नाही. फक्त चौकशी निष्पक्ष व कुणीतरी आरोप करतो म्हणून दबावाखाली होऊ नये, अशी भूमिकाही वंजारी यांनी मांडली.

Nagpur: The Nagpur University (RTMNU) officials have clarified that there will be no guarantee that the questions provided in the question bank by colleges would appear in the actual paper.
The official reaction came after the students blamed RTMNU for not providing the question bank as assured by the state department of higher and technical education in its letter to all the universities. Even the colleges expressed inability to provide it stating that they not only lacked teachers, but also did not have subject experts for framing the questions.
RTMNU stand is also contradictory to the one taken by higher education minister Uday Samant,the concept of bank means a particular set of questions would be provided to the examinees for study and paper would be based on those only.
Board of Examination and Evaluation (BoEE) director Prafulla Sable endorsed RTMNU officials’ stand on the question bank but refused to comment further. “Even the colleges could collaborate with each other for the question bank by forming a cluster if they lack teachers of particular subjects. There are various ways and means to resolve the issues”.
Engineering students said their colleges had provided them a reference question bank, which the latter indicated that a few of them may be asked in the RTMNU question paper. “All colleges are providing links for reference questions, but not taking any guarantee that RTMNU would ask questions from those. Our syllabus was not fully covered due to online teaching during the pandemic period. What is the use of such reference questions if those would not be a part of RTMNU paper?” they asked.
RTMNU officials said colleges were unnecessarily creating a fuss over the issue as they only frame questions for the university for question sets. “If they can provide questions to RTMNU, why can’t they provide those to their own students? The colleges can share the questions among each other. All decisions were not taken alone by the RTMNU administration but by the BOEE, which is the statutory body for deciding anything about the exams.”
The officials said the decision to handover the evaluation work to colleges was taken to ensure that the results would be out at the earliest. “We will try to declare the results within three weeks of the last paper, if the colleges cooperated. Another objective is to start the next academic session on time. It was inordinately delayed for the last two years due to the pandemic,” they said.
Students start sharing questions through social media
After refusal by many colleges to provide question banks, the aggrieved students found a new way to deal with the crisis. They started groups on various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook to share questions provided by a few colleges. They are calling their counterparts from all colleges in Bhandara, Gondia, and Wardha, besides Nagpur, to come together on these platforms. They are also sharing their grievances stating that they need to help each other in the moment of crisis.

NAGPUR: While issuing a series of instructions for the summer examinations, the RTMNU has clarified that it would not be conducting re-exams this time, unlike previous two years.
After a series of flip-flop from the RTMNU administration, the inordinately delayed exams would commence from June 8 with final year of undergraduate courses. The postgraduate exams would begin from June 15 while rest from June 22.
Due to advent of online mode since last two years after Covid, the university used to conduct multiple exams for the examinees facing technical snags. Failure of RTMNU servers in 2020 exams had also forced RTMNU to conduct multiple exams, as it was very easy for the students to appear from their mobile or laptops, that too from the comforts of their homes. In absence of proper proctoring method, the students allegedly resorted to gross malpractices which led to historic results for RTMNU.
In a circular posted by the Board of Examinations and Evaluation (BOEE) director Prafulla Sable for the principals, invigilators and examinees, NU has clarified that in case the students missed the exams for any reason, they would be marked absent and declared fail. RTMNU officials told TOI that they would get a chance to reappear in the paper only during winter exams.
RTMNU has made it mandatory for the students to take signatures of principals on their hall tickets along with college stamp, without which they would not be allowed to appear for the papers. The general rules that were applied to the examination before the Covid would be in force once again. The students need to enter into the examination hall 15 minutes before the start of the paper. Their entry would be prohibited 15 minutes after the paper begins. They will not be allowed to leave the room before one hour of the paper, although 90 minutes were allotted to them for solving questions.
Among some rules introduced includes using only blue or black pen for ticking the answers, while red-ink pen and pencil are strictly prohibited. If the answer is wrongly ticked, the examinees need to take invigilator’s signature for correcting it. In case of failure, the answer would be declared as invalid and would not be taken into account while counting marks.
The colleges are told to provide rough papers to the students, which they would return to the invigilators at the end of the paper. Unlike last two years, they would not be allowed to carry mobile phones, smart watches or any other electronic gadgets inside the exam room.
Students, note this
Principal’s signature, college stamp on hall tickets must
Enter exam room 15 minutes prior to paper
Entry to be barred 15 minutes after the start
Student not be allowed to leave exam room before one hour
Mobile phones, smart watches, electronic gadgets prohibited

Nagpur: The person running the Twitter handle of Nagpur Police has made such a post which is very much discussed these days. Actually, recently Shah Rukh Khan released the teaser of his upcoming film ‘Jawan’. The actor enthralled his fans in his never-before-seen avatar.
SRK was wrapped in bandages, just like someone who suffers a head injury after an accident. Whenever something new comes to the fore, funny memes always become a hit and the Nagpur Police were also not different in this matter.
The Twitter handle of Nagpur Police posted a picture as a teaser warning Netizens that if they don’t wear helmets, their condition will be like Shah Rukh’s look in the teaser.

People coming from Delhi spreading Covid-19 in Nagpur,” Dr Nitin Raut
Nagpur: With increase again of novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) cases in Second Capital of the State, Maharashtra Power and Guardian Minister Dr Nitin Raut expressed concern and made a controversial statement that people coming to Nagpur city from Delhi are spreading Covid-19 here, on Monday.
Dr Raut also expressed the need of testing and contact tracing at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Maharashtra Energy Minister Nitin Raut said, “The main reason behind the rise in the COVID-19 cases in Nagpur, are the people coming from Delhi. Today we traced 35 cases (of COVID-19) and of that, the maximum number of cases belong to Delhi passengers. I think we should do the tracing of them at the airports.” The Minister further urged that maximum testing should be done at all levels, including rural as well as urban areas.
Notably, amid a fresh Covid surge in the state, the Maharashtra Government has already made masks mandatory while in public and intensified testing and vaccinations.
Vidarbha Reeling Under Heavy Rains, On High Alert For Next 5 Days
Nagpur: The wait may be longer this year. The southwest monsoon is likely to make its entry in Nagpur by June 16 and cover the entire Vidarbha by June 26. Earlier, it was expected that the monsoon may hit the region by June 9 but it has been delayed by one week, according to reports..With the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) announcing monsoon rainfall to hit Kerala almost five days prior to the deadline, Rajasthan is also expecting the monsoon to commence earlier than last year.
According to M L Sahu, the Deputy Director General of the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), the arrival date of the monsoon in the entire country has got postponed by one week. Earlier, June 9 was supposed to be the fixed date for the monsoon to arrive in Nagpur. However, a study of pattern for the last 50 years concluded that this year, Nagpur is likely to receive its first monsoon rain by June 16.
First the RMC had predicted an early monsoon by June 8-10. Then due to stagnation of the limit of monsoon for a week or so the met office said that the monsoon was likely to arrive in Vidarbha by June 16.
NAGPUR: Well-known activist lawyer Anubha Sahai, who recently took the university exam uniformity issue to the court, has said that NEET-UG 2022 must be postponed looking at the “very logical reasons” pointed out by students.
Sahai told that with previous counselling getting delayed, it made sense to push the NEET-UG scheduled for mid-July further ahead.
“The previous batch’s counselling got delayed, and in some states it is still going on. So, the July 2022 batch counselling and academic schedule will be pushed ahead anyway, as I don’t think there is infrastructure and academic wherewithal to run both batches concurrently,” said Sahai and added, “So if everything is going to get delayed anyway, then why not delay the entrance exam too. This will give students some extra time to prepare.”
Twitter, which has been the primary playground for all previous such demands, again witnessed high number of messages from students demanding postponement. Some said the least authorities could do was acknowledge their request. @DropperNeet wrote: “We Will Respect Your Decision But Please Officially Put Some Notice About NEET ..Mental Pressure Is Killing Us From Inside .. please postpone NEET UG sir”.
Some were worried about other entrance exams during the same period. @rohan22t wrote: “(1) Droppers are getting less than 3MONTHS (2)-Different syllabus exam like CUET NEET JEE MAIN with NO GAP (3) Army nursing aspirants are getting just two months for a complete different exam pattern”. @AIJNSA_official wrote “This year NEET- (UG) – 2022 is scheduled on 17th JULY and the counselling was completed in April last week. While in some states the counselling & seat allotment process was continued even after the release of the notification for NEET (UG)-2022”.
@Uzziepixie wrote: “Not only this affects the mental health of the aspirants but also their parents who had hopes to see they child become a DOCTOR. Does mental health of us matter to you? It’s as request to @DG_NTA”.
The increase in online decible level of students, as they become more vocal in their demands is a good sign, said Sahai. “The demands to either cancel or delay exams at such a scale is something which we are witnessing now only. It never existed before. Many times students approach us for such cases and we take it forward and then there are times when we counsel them, if it does not seem a valid demand,” said Sahai.
She added that interacting with students associations is a great learning experience for her team too. “When they explain things to us with logical reasons to back up their demand, we too realize that they are correct. So it’s a good thing that students are now taking up these issues,” said Sahai.
These demands by students can really gain weight only after it attracts political traction. “I foresee that very soon education and health will become electoral issues. This movement by students is the beginning and as more people become aware of the situation, public representatives will be held accountable for their manifestos regarding education,” said Sahai.

UPSC civil service AIR 8th cleared exam without coaching
Indian civil services exams can be termed as one of the most difficult exam to crack with various stages of exams it does elect the best of the best.
Recently UPSC civil services final results were out and 685 students cracked the exams. Among these was a daughter of two Delhi police personnel, Delhi’s Ishita Rathi, who secured Rank 8 in this year’s UPSC mains.
With hard work, Rathi claimed that she dreamt of serving the country by looking at her parents. The 26-year-old cleared UPSC in her third attempt said she wants to work for women empowerment in the country as only if the women are developed in a country, the country’s growth continues.
Ishita was shocked to find her name in the top 10 list. “This exam is very uncertain. Every attempt is very different from the last attempt. So until the results are out one does not know what strategy worked and what did not work. For me, the journey has been tough, like many other aspirants. I was not expecting such a good rank and I was not even sure if I will make it to the finals but I did and that has been shocking,” she said.
Ishita completed her postgraduate degree in economics from Madras School of Economics, said she did not opt for any coaching to crack the exam. Talking about her preparation she said, “While I did not take any coaching, but for my optional subject (Economic) I took mentoring.” Giving insights from her self preparing journey she says, “After looking at the syllabus I realized that these topics can be covered on my own. There is plenty of free material available now that students can take help from and prepare for the exam on their own.”
“For certain subjects such as geography and polity, NCERTs are very well written so referring to those will clear out basics for the candidates. Supplementing them with reading newspapers and current affairs is helpful. I also took help from popular UPSC preparation books, including Laxmikant for polity, and Spectrum for history. I mostly referred to all the resources that are referred by most toppers and it did help me. But the key in all his was multiple revisions, making your notes and revising them repeatedly,” Ishita said.
