Terrorism and Humanity

Terrorism warfare is the demonstration of creating apprehension, danger and fear among masses. It has no philosophy, no establishment yet to make fear among individuals utilizing any mean, way or device. The sole goal is to oppress individuals and their wellspring of vitality is simply the dread created as it were. Terrorism is the greatest danger of Humanity. Rather than affection it claims dread, rather than equity it produces pecking order, rather than enthusiasm it depends on self-roused interests.

In the ongoing time we are seeing the expanding occurrences of Terrorism oppression everywhere throughout the world. In spite of the fact that medieval rulers have put together their standard with respect to fear of individuals however notwithstanding hardly any exemptions and time of unsettling influences, their general reason for existing was to make state of harmony in which their standard can flourish. However, the cutting edge phenomena of fear mongering knows no time of harmony and that is the reason it is the greatest danger of humankind. For whatever length of time that fear mongering will get by in a territory there will be a bad situation for humankind for even a solitary snapshot of time.

To manage fear mongering first we have to comprehend its underlying foundations and its reasons for cause. As such fear based oppression has no belief system. Terrorism oppressors utilize the differing speculations for their advantage and shape it as per their desires. Religion which is utilized by fear mongers is only a clothing to conceal its actual standards and look for authenticity for shameless acts which in any case have no authorization an any religion. In spite of the fact that religion isn’t the reason for fear mongering yet the stagnation which happened in religion due to securing of universal components to medieval ethos has given space to these components. The need of hour is to adjust religion to present day esteems and quit beholding back at medieval ethos. Let the religion to advance and individuals with it.

The other significant reason for its fortifying is obstruction of different countries into a nation. In the attire of acquainting popular government they acted with make gaps into the general public of effectively settled countries to advance their own advantages. This procedure is going on from the beginning of twentieth century whether it id Sykes-Picot understanding or production of Israel or wars pursued by Western countries in Middle-East nations every once in a while. The gaps made in the public arena as well as the origination of Western country to counter Terrorism oppression or any Leader administering in a country they have made Frankenstein beast as new fear monger associations and which are presently out of their control. Interestingly, these countries have not gained from their experience and still attempt to recognize great psychological warfare and awful fear based oppression.

To restrict the Terrorism all countries needed to work in collaboration and they have to put stock in uniformity among country and power of a country. Strategy is the best arrangement to sift through unsettling influences among countries. In the event that they will utilize Terrorism militants as a weapon against different countries, these demonstrations can reverse discharge on them. Harmony and participation should be the goal of countries. World can advance on these footing as it were. Impedance will make just shocking effects in general world.

Advancement of masses and viably unraveling their complaints are the two apparatuses to tackle the issue of fear based oppression. As fear based oppression just serve the interests of not many however it blossom with the issues of individuals which is brought about by inconsistent appropriation of assets and advantages collecting to the country. Naxalism in India is one of the appearances of inconsistent appropriation among masses prompting separation with state and a propensity to move towards savage methods.

Genuine Democracy can be utilized against Terrorism oppression yet this vote based system ought not be forced by different countries. In any case, various agents of a country should approach to manufacture a country dependent on fairness, freedom and equity.

Innovation can be utilized viably to handle Terrorism oppression and limit its evil impacts. It very well may be utilized to scatter present day thoughts among individuals and let them escape medieval mindset. Furthermore it tends to be utilized to get data about the fear based oppressor associations and checking stream of assets to them and checking their development in until now immaculate regions.

Fear mongering groups solidarity to destabilize entire world and release powers of abuse and viciousness. It is the ordinary citizens which are influenced by the fear based oppression the most. It brings about removal and making pressure on different countries because of colossal number of evacuees who have no mean to endure yet to request help.

Impacts of fear based oppression is the general annihilation of humankind. It will cause comfort for a few and abuse for other exceptionally for ladies. Ladies are the most influenced fragment of these exercises. It will make a world wherein dread will run the show. The expanding hold of IS in center east focuses towards what the eventual fate of world will be if its development won’t be checked.

Uncovering of Terrorism warfare totally is the main answer for tackle the hazard of fear mongering. Initial step ought to be disintegration of its base among mis-coordinated individuals who are utilized by it to fill the need of first class in fear based oppressor association. It tends to be finished by scattering of present day esteems and settling their monetary, social and political complaints. Second step ought to be to quit outlining alleged “great” Terrorism warfare and “awful” fear based oppression. All subsidizing to any association ought to be halted. In any case fortifying of one gathering will prompt its development from “great” to “awful” class.

Third obstruction of other country ought to be checked. Accomplishment of vote based system ought to be founded on the development of individuals and not on the intense inconvenience of different countries. Fourth, in this battle against Terrorism warfare all country need to help out one another and tact dependent on fairness of countries ought to be the method of giving answer for the contrasts between countries. The hazard of Terrorism warfare ought to be taken care of at the earliest opportunity else it will carry annihilation to mankind and world-harmony.

Nationalism and internationalism are opposing and mutually exclusive

Nationalism

Nationalism is an old idea and was at top during the twentieth century, when the world was crying with the disturb mistreatment of settler and industrialist country. Nationalism is the political idea about having the country own personality and opportunity which doesn’t subvert the opportunity of other country. It’s in the line to best serve the humankind and its directors. Nationalism is frequently connected with Patriotism which says – singular serves his family, family serves the town, town serves the locale, area serve the state, state serve the country and country serve the mankind. Along these lines so as to serve the humankind country opportunity is must.

Indian Nationalism during Struggle for Independence

The phases of Indian Struggle for Independence is the advancement of Nationalism in India. A portion of the significant highlights of this advancement were – Swaraj, Satagragh and Non-Violence, People Participation, and so on which accentuation on the center directors of patriotism – self-rule and self-oversee; individuals rights, association, acknowledgment and agreement; not hurting other country opportunity and keeping quiet and wellbeing connection with other and so on.

Internationalism

Internationalism is ongoing advancement rose significantly in twentieth century after the First world War and since them it advancing consistently. Internationalism is about solidarity, regular activities, and objectives with helpful and steady activities of different country. It rose with idea of bringing harmony, agreement, steadiness on the planet and maintaining a strategic distance from the any ruinous activity which lead to the murdering of humankind. Internationalism doesn’t confine to a specific limit rather it includes everybody and put stock in taking everybody together by joining their character.

Nationalism Vs Internationalism – Opposing

Nationalism and Internationalism are not the equivalent however both accentuation on the advancement of mankind, there is crucial contrast between the establishing standards. On one hand where Nationalism interest for the personality of self, worldwide weakens the individual character for the normal and more prominent great. Patriotism however not against any race, religion or area yet it’s increasingly about a specific local character and their opportunity while the internationalism is being having an assembled personality. Nationalism developed as breaking down from radical and entrepreneur country control and giving more capacity to settlements or procured regions while internationalism rose as reconciliation of control and in this way driving grouping of intensity. Nationalism lead to autonomy and opportunity where as Internationalism lead to relationship .Thus Nationalism and Internationalism are contradicting yet the two has their own areas to activity in various circumstances.

Nationalism Vs Internationalism – mutually exclusive

Nationalism is increasingly about localisation where internationalism is centered more around globalization. Nationalism exist at national or nation level where internationalism exist at above nation level. Nationalism attempt to accomplish the solidarity through intentional detachment (point of which is to crush the persecution and control of colonialist) where Internationalism attempt to accomplish the solidarity with deliberate affiliation (different nationalities joining on air conditioning totally intentional premise after radical abuse has been disposed of). There both are existing in various setting in this manner both are fundamentally unrelated.

Accordingly Nationalism and Internationalism are would be steady to one another with the end goal of humankind whenever applied with away from of territories. Nationalism is significant for acceptable administration, social and political turn of events, preservation of culture, qualities and assorted variety though internationalism is significant for security (Terrorism), balance condition, monetary advancement, science and innovation improvement, training and expertise improvement, and so on.

Nepotism In India

In India Corruption goes hand in hand with nepotism. It goes on in government and private jobs both. Nepotism is common in politics, judiciary, and business and in the film industry. It goes on even in religious circles, arts, industry, and other types of organisations. Many members of Parliament and various Legislative Assemblies have a generations-long legacy of nepotism allocation of constituencies to their relatives. Many judges and advocates of the High courts and the Supreme Court are alleged to be appointed by exercising casteism, nepotism and favouritism, primarily because the Supreme Court and the High Court’s uses a non-transparent undemocratic appointment process called Collegiate which recommends to the President, in a legally binding manner, the names of judges to be appointed or promoted to the higher judiciary. The various judicial services exams are also infamous for these practices. The Bajaj family is related to the Birla family which itself is related to the Biyani family by marriage. Moreover, dynasty in politics remains. Rahul Gandhi, Vice-President of the Indian National Congress party, is a descendent of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi & Rajiv Gandhi. Data shows since 1999, the Congress has had 36 dynastic MPs elected to the Lok Sabha, with the BJP not far behind with 31 dynastic MPs. The highly popular sport of cricket is also affected with nepotism, although to a lesser extent, in the form of Stuart Binny, Rohan Gavaskar and very recently Arjun Tendulkar. Home minister Amit Shah’s son was appointed as the BCCI secretary.

Growing nepotism in the Indian film industry (Bollywood)

The Kapoor families and many other Indian film actors have been known for bringing their children into the industry with their endorsements and influence for decades. However, a fresh debate on nepotism soon followed the untimely demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, investigations into which have pointed to professional rivalry and instances of “bullying”. As per media reports, he was ostracized by the film fraternity despite being an accomplished actor. Filmmaker Karan Johar, with whom Rajput had worked in the Netflix film Drive, was quickly hailed as the flagbearer of nepotism by actress Kangana Ranaut, with Rajput’s fans calling for a boycott of Johar and his banner, Dharma Productions, as well as of actor Salman Khan and his brothers, who were greatly accused of bullying outsiders in the past. Actors and actresses like Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, Ananya Pandey, Athiya Shetty, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, all of whom hail from film families, were also widely criticized for their mediocre filmography and quickly lost millions of social media fans and followers within a week. Responding to allegations of nepotism against her, Sonam Kapoor sparked controversy with a tweet on Father’s Day, with trolls calling her out for delivering poor films in the past few years.

In recent weeks, nepotism has become centre stage in mainstream public discourse. Triggered by speculations over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the debate was initially confined to the film industry. But it has since spread to other domains. What began as a hashtag about a tragic death has acquired a life of its own. How do we understand this sudden upsurge, given that nepotism is not a new phenomenon?

In India, whichever field one may consider, there is no denying the prevalence of influential families that wield nepotistic influence. But does this mean we make peace with nepotism? Certainly not. But a lot depends on how the debate is framed, and the nature of the contingent politics around the nepotism discourse.

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is an emotion that’s best described as a prolonged feeling of uneasiness, apprehension or nervousness about potentially threatening events that haven’t happened yet. It’s triggered by objects, people, or modes of thought that suggest the emergence of a physical or social threat. Examples might include preparing for a public speech, hearing a tornado warning, or seeing a bear’s footprint while hiking. These events each foretell an uncertain, unavoidable, or uncontrollable future threat.

Much like pain or fear, anxiety is an unpleasant warning system that tells us to avoid danger. However, unlike these other sensations, it activates well in advance of any real threat, utilizing the imagination and memory to simulate worst case scenarios. Anxiety also causes our cognitive capacities to change. For example, we’ll start scanning the environment for further signs of danger, and interpret stimuli in threatening ways. Thus, anxiety’s fundamental function is to direct thought, behavior and cognition in ways that increase the likelihood of the early detection of danger.

Anxiety and Fear

Anxiety and fear are distinct emotions with different causes and effects. Anxiety is evoked by signs of potential danger, leading one to exhibit increased vigilance and precautionary behavior. Fear is produced when we are faced by an immediate, observable threat. It triggers an instinctive flee, fight, or freeze response.

State and Trait Anxiety

Most psychology textbooks separate the emotion into two parts. State anxiety simply refers to one’s current anxious feelings. Trait anxiety is an affective personality trait, defined as relatively stable individual differences in anxiety proneness. About 30% of population variance in trait anxiety is described by genetic factors, with the remainder shaped in development.

Traumatic experiences can serve to increase trait anxiety during a person’s life. These experiences form `danger schemas’ in the brain, which are filled with memories, beliefs, and knowledge related to sources of the trauma. Anxiety resurfaces when stimuli are detected that relate to what is in the schema.

Anxiety is probably the most important emotion in our affective repertoire. Like fear, it functions to warn of impending danger; but unlike fear, it remains with us as a constant reminder of the threats we are likely to face. Like all products of evolution, anxiety isn’t a perfect construct.

Those with high trait anxiety are tormented by unpleasant feelings that distort the way they view the world. This species-wide variance in our proneness to anxiety could potentially act as a buffer against a deteriorating environment. Indeed, anxiety helps individuals to learn about threats in their environment, and motivates behavior that may prove vital during times of adversity.

Time Management:

No matter how hard we strive to successfully accomplish our mission when and unless we set our pace to manage each job efficiently we will never be able to achieve our aim. Time, being such a vital element of existence, needs to be handled in the most respectable way.And if we strive to practice the art of time management could our lives undergo a meaningful improvement. Since time management is one of the most valuable abilities that can carry you further in your lives-personal as well as professional. Time control basically helps workers to have more and more jobs completed with less time.

Benefits using time effectively:

Understanding the art of time management may have a positive effect especially on your personal life — where most of us fail each and every job to be provided proper time. So let us take a quick glance at the benefits it offers:

Better task management

Higher productivity

No stress levels

Better work-life balance

Tips for managing time :

Wake up early, and spend longer days: 

Once you get up early then you would get more time to workout, meditate, concentrate or even try a hobbies. You’ll increase the everyday efficiency slowly and time management will never be a concern. 

Set SMART goals — Don’t just wish, do

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound.(S.M.A.R.T .)Do you think there is a correct and incorrect method of achieving goals? There’s something incomplete or defective in your strategy when your ambitions don’t achieve rewards. Whereas your efficiency could hit the sky if you set targets the correct way.

Keep mornings for MITs — Most important tasks

Take the most important task into the morning as the first move. Time control and goal management go hand and hand with both. And when you realize what will be accomplished where do you handle your energy efficiently. The aim is to take on, complete a challenging or time-consuming job and concentrate on certain things.

Install a good time tracking software:

Implementing a time tracking app is one of the best ways to maintain track of any minute spent at work. This time tracking app is programmed to establish averages of time, monitor time spent on tasks and hold tracks of every minute you spend working on tasks.

For instance, you should set a time limit for each task and subtask to maximize your time effectively, whether you are working on a project. You should use time scheduling tools such as ProofHub to handle the tasks effectively and with time.

Discover your zone:

You ‘d have found that you’re focused on an arrow in the entire day, and your efficiency shoots up like something else. This occurs while the consciousness is completely in agreement with outside circumstances. Many people term it ‘wind,’ while others term it ‘pace.’

The exploration of the flow or zone will lead directly to the correct time usage. This lets you reach an ideal level of consciousness while you feel and perform your best.

Block Distractions:

Emails, phone calls, and social networking posts are some of the workplace’s frequent and biggest distractions. Whenever you operate on high-priority projects, put the phone on silent mode and switch off data. You ‘d end up spending a lot of time and getting the performance a notch higher

Avoid Multitasking:

Instead of dividing your attention into three different things, it’s better to focus entirely on one thing and marvel at it. To make it more effective, try timeboxing them. It refers to the act of allocating a time-frame for every task which in return, increases the likelihood of its successful completion.

Take some small breaks:

Smart time control doesn’t just consist of performing anything or anything else. This further illustrates the reality that little changes will boost your efficiency to another stage after an hour or two.

Do less but impactful

It’s never a good idea to take up more than you can handle. High achievers and great performers all over the world do less but better. When you prioritize tasks, it gives you clarity and direction so that you can start working on things, save time, and be more productive.

The next time you find it difficult to manage time, take a deep breath and take up a single task, complete it, and start another without stressing yourself too much.

Sleep at least 7–8 hours

Human mind and body make healthier choices, and while well-rested, work more effectively. You will easily determine what to do, where and how. Build a sleep routine, and keep to it regularly. Around the same moment, continue to relax and get up.

Conclusion

Managing time plays an significant part of our everyday lives. Only knowing about the simple time management techniques will do miracles in your life. -Each minute is precious, don’t waste it doing anything that doesn’t bring much benefit to your life.

Design/Framework of Organisation

The business world of the early 21st century is radically different from that of the early 20th century, in two key respects.

First, organizations now have to operate in a vastly more complex environment—one of globalization, hypercompetition, revolutionary technologies, and elaborate regulation. Such complexity implies an increased number of performance requirements for companies (for instance, to satisfy customer needs, address competitive pressures, or comply with the ever-increasing labyrinth of regulation). If you then assign to each requirement its own structural solution (which is the essence of the “hard approach,” described in the sidebar) you end up with an extremely complicated and unwieldy organization.

Second, in most companies the nature of work has changed: from algorithmic work—that is, clerical or manual labor—to knowledge or heuristic work.Knowledge workers differ from clerical or manual workers in that their role is not merely to follow rules and perform specific tasks but also to use their own initiative to further the organization’s mission. They have to interpret the rules, adjust to the changing realities, and make trade-offs among conflicting requirements in order to arrive at the optimal solution.

If reorganization efforts continue to overlook these two major changes in the world of work, they will continue to fail. A new approach is needed, one that is better suited to the realities of the world in which companies now operate. BCG has developed such an approach, called Smart Design for Performance—or just Smart Design—drawing on the principles of Smart Simplicity. (See “Smart Design, Smart Simplicity.”) The approach has been battle tested and has shown great success in raising company performance, mastering complexity, and enhancing employee engagement.

The basis of new approach

A holistic view of organization design would encompass numerous components: structural elements, roles and responsibilities, individual talent, and enabling mechanisms such as core enterprise decision-making processes, performance management, and talent management. These are the key levers for organizational change, and they are obviously crucial—but their relevance is indirect. To change a company’s performance is to change what happens in the company. And what happens in a company is not directly a matter of organizational levers (such as structures, processes, and systems) but one of behavior—that is, what people do: how they act, interact, and make decisions. Workforce behavior is what determines company performance.

The new approach to redesigning an organization, far more appropriate for the new business environment, has behavior at its core. It involves identifying and explaining the current behaviors of the workforce, defining the desired behaviors—those that would improve company performance—and generating the new behaviors by creating contexts that are conducive to them.

What’s so smart about smart design?

Smart design approach involves three main steps- the why, what and how.

  • Define the purpose of the recoganizition (the why)
  • Determine the behaviours that will support that purpose and design the organisation in such a way as to promote those behaviours, using a broad range of design elements (the what)
  • Make it happen (the how)

An effective way to design role and responsibilities is through the process of role chartering. Each role is defined –

  • Individual and shared accountabilities : that is , responsibility for the completion of tasks.
  • Decision rights needed for carrying out the accountabilities.
  • KPIs for measuring the performance of these accountabilities
  • Mission critical corporation requirements : what each person can do make others more effective at accomplishing their accountabilities , and what others can do in return.
  • Desired leadership makers for the role : the values, characteristics and style best suited to the role, such as a bias toward action , a sense of urgency , or candor and openness.
  • key capabilities required for fulfilling the purpose of the role .

The transformation model

The Transformation Model is the framework we use to help leaders understand their organizations and also guide a successful redesign. The model reduces the complexity of an organization to eight key variables that must be understood and aligned for a business to be successful.  Alignment implies a holistic or systems point of view that finds the best “fit” between all organizational elements.  Paying attention to and understanding these variables will result in major improvements in customer service, quality, efficiency, cycle time, profitability and satisfaction of employees.

These eight variables form the “big picture” or context of an organization and ultimately determine its success. When we talk about organization design we are talking about the relationship and balance between each of these variables.  The role of leaders could be defined as understanding and managing these variables.

Cues of rationalism

Things like promoting kindness, increasing social connection, finding time affluence, so opening up sometimes we have free time, finding ways to control our thoughts so that we stay in the here and now, and these healthy practices of sleep and exercise that we don’t get as much as we should. And the point of putting these up there is not to say that we never want these things, but how often are we prioritizing all those other things that we started with at the expense of this stuff. And if we could switch our ratio of what we’re investing in we could be a lot happier. “We think that knowing is half the battle but it’s not.” And so what are some strategies we can use to put these habits into practice today? First of these is paying attention to the situation. Finding situations that support you , you can also think about external underrated factors effecting these things. But think about it in the context of like healthy eating or in the context of whether you want to stay off social media, or whether you want to have more social connection or not playing on your phone. The idea is that there are situational factors that we don’t realize that are affecting the extent to which we do this. The point is just the presence of the situation causes certain behaviors. Simply making these tempting bad behaviors go far away and these kind of good behaviors that we want to encourage at the forefront can change the way we interact, and can increase our good habits.

Get rid of the stuff that is tempting you. If you had the goal of getting off social media after all my negative comments about social media, you can delete it from your phone. You can put your phone away when you’re trying to work.All those things you can do to increase this stuff. If you want to change around the bad environment of a place like this where you’re not getting enough sleep and you’re not exercising and so on, you can shape your environment to have less of those cues about grades that you’re worried about or less of those cues about workaholism or affluence. All that stuff. Right. You can shape your environment to have less of the bad cues that are causing you to value the wrong stuff.

Child trafficking can be defined as any person under 18 who is illegally recruited, transported, transferred, harboured or received by threats, force, and coercion or inducing fear for the purpose of exploitation, either within or outside a country. Child trafficking is a common malpractice in India. Child exploitation is done for several reasons. Some of the primary reasons are:

  • Sexual exploitation : children, especially girl children are lured into moving to another city and are forced into prostitution, sex tourism and pornography.
  • Illegal activities : kidnapped children are often forced to beg, and sometimes their organs like kidney etc. are sold. These children are also often used for drug trafficking purposes.
  • Labour : children brought into the city are sold as bonded labour to industry owners. They are often placed at factories of carpet weaving, diamond cuƫng etc.

Trafficking of children is a form of human trafficking and is defined by the United Nations as the “recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, and/or receipt” kidnapping of a child for the purpose of slavery, forced labor and exploitation.

Though statistics regarding the magnitude of child trafficking are difficult to obtain, the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that 1.2 million children are trafficked each year.

International human rights instruments

These legal instruments were developed by the UN in an effort to protect international human rights and, more specifically, children’s rights.

  • Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948
  • Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989

Causes of Child Trafficking

Poverty

Poverty is the leading cause for child trafficking worldwide. Often parents are not able to provide for their families and consequentially exploit their children for financial reasons. These influencers lead to children being more inclined to take riskier jobs in order to sustain life for themselves and their families. The decision for parents to expose their children for child trafficking, due to poverty, is not always for money incentives, but also because a lack of education causes them to believe that migration elsewhere will provide their children with more opportunities, which will help them escape chronic poverty.

Lack of Education

A lack of education and literacy furthermore makes families more vulnerable to traffickers. Parents are often unaware of the negative consequences of child trafficking and voluntarily send their children away. Additionally, children are often not aware of their rights and lack understanding regarding which of their rights are violated.

Scenario in India

Child trafficking is a serious problem that is prevalent especially in India. The majority of India’s trafficking problem is internal, and those from the most disadvantaged social strata- lowest caste Dalits, members of tribal communities, religious minorities and women and girls from excluded groups – are most vulnerable.

It is the children of the poor and marginalized communities who are often trafficked to be forced into labour. Parents of these children are either betrayed or lured due to their poor socio-economic conditions thus forcing them to ‘send’ or ‘sell’ their children for better livelihood options. The lack of awareness is a situation that traffickers exploit especially when it comes to uneducated poor living in slums and other backward regions in the country. Traffickers promise daily wages to parents of young children and transport them to big cities where they are often treated as commodities. Families in dire financial conditions are often approached by traffickers with an offer to buy their children and with no other escape from their pitiful conditions, parents comply.

In India, there is a great need for convergence and implementation of comprehensive child protection mechanisms. The Indian children are exposed to multiple vulnerabilities. With thousands of children still working in brick kilns, construction sites, dhabas and agricultural land, trafficking for the sake of forced child labour is widely prevalent. Apart from this children are also sold by their parents to work in factory ,dhabas and industries are highly dangerous with toxic environments.

Constitutional and Legislative Provision in India:

  • Trafficking in Human Beings or Persons is prohibited under the Constitution of India under Article 23 (1)
  • Protection of Children from Sexual offences (POCSO) Act, 2012,which has come into effect from 14th November, 2012 is a special law to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation.
  • The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 (ITPA) is the premier legislation for prevention of trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation.
  • Criminal Law (amendment) Act 2013 has come into force wherein Section 370 of the Indian Penal Code has been substituted with Section 370 and 370A IPC which provide for comprehensive measures to counter the menace of human.
  •  Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006,
  • Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976,
  • Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986,
  • Juvenile Justice Act.

sustainable development

paid media

The Department-Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology presented its 47th report on the “Issues Related to Paid News” in the Lok Sabha on May 6, 2013.  The Committee is headed by Mr. Rao Inderjit Singh.

  • The Press Council of India (PCI) defines paid news as any news or analysis appearing in print or electronic media for consideration in cash or kind.
  • Definition of ‘paid news’: The Committee acknowledged challenges in defining and determining what constitutes or qualifies as ‘paid news’.  It cited advertisements camouflaged as news, denial of coverage to select electoral candidates, exchanging of advertisement space for equity stakes between media houses and corporate and the rise in paid content as manifestations of paid news.
  • The Committee asked the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoIB) to formulate a comprehensive legal definition of ‘paid news’ in consultation with stakeholders and suggest measures for usage of ‘circumstantial evidence’ in indentifying paid news.
  • Reasons for rise in paid news: The Committee identified corporatisation of media, desegregation of ownership and editorial roles, decline in autonomy of editors/journalists due to emergence of contract system and poor wage levels of journalists as key reasons for the rise in the incidence of paid news.  It urged the MoIB to ensure periodic review of the editor/journalist autonomy and wage conditions.
  • The Committee opined that financial accounts of the media houses should be subject to examination, especially the revenue source for a suspected paid news case. It recommended mandatory disclosure of ‘private treaties’ and details of advertising revenue received by the media houses.
  • Regulators lack adequate powers: The Committee found the exiting regulatory set-up dealing with paid news as inadequate.  It described voluntary self-regulatory industry bodies like the News Broadcasting Standards Authority and Broadcasting Content Complaints Council as an ‘eye wash’. It found the punitive powers of statutory regulators like the PCI and Electronic Media Monitoring Centre (EMMC) to be inadequate.  It also highlighted the conflict of interest inherent with appointment of media-owners as members of the PCI or self-regulatory bodies.
  • Need for regulatory overhaul: The Committee recommended establishment of either a single regulatory body for both print and electronic media or enhancing punitive powers of the PCI and setting-up a similar statutory body for the electronic media.  Such regulator(s) should have the power to take strong action against offenders and should not include media owners/interested parties as members.
  • Inaction by the government: The Committee censured the MoIB for its failure to establish a strong mechanism to check the spread of paid news.  It accused the government of dithering on important policy initiatives, citing the lack of action on various recommendations of the PCI and Election Commission of India (ECI).
  • The PCI has sought amendment in the Press Council Act, 1978, to make its directions binding on government authorities and bring the electronic media under its purview. The ECI has made a reference to the Ministry of Law and Justice to amend the Representation of the People Act, 1951 (RP Act) in order to include indulgence of an electoral candidate in paid news as a corrupt practice. It also recommended inclusion of abetting and publishing of such paid news as an electoral offence with minimum punishment of two years imprisonment.
  • Penal provisions and jurisdiction: The Committee observed that existing penal provisions have not served as an effective deterrent for the practice of paid news and stricter penal provisions are needed.  It highlighted the lack of clarity regarding the jurisdiction of the designated authority to penalise offenders, given existence of multiple bodies like the MoIB, PCI, EMMC and ECI.
  • The Committee recommended that the ECI should have the authority to take punitive action against electoral candidates in cases of paid news.  It endorsed the ECI’s proposed amendments to the RP Act and urged the government to provide the ECI with more powers to deal with paid news.
  • Concentration of media ownership: The Committee expressed concern that the lack of restriction on ownership across media segments (print, TV or internet) or between content and distribution could give rise to monopolistic practices.  It urged the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (currently examining the issue) to present its recommendations and the MoIB to take conclusive action on those recommendations on a priority basis.
  • Distribution of government advertisements: The Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity (DAVP) is the nodal advertising agency for the central government under the MoIB. It is responsible for execution of advertisements on behalf of various ministries, autonomous bodies and PSUs. Various stakeholders alleged that the government uses advertisements to arm-twist media houses for favourable coverage.
  • The Committee found the DAVP’s existing policy on distribution of advertisements amongst various media houses to be unsatisfactory. Hence, it recommended a transparent and unbiased policy for distribution of advertisements by the central and state governments, with provisions for scrutiny. It asked the DAVP to disclose details about disbursements of advertisements expenditure on its website.
  • Adoption of international best practices: The Committee expressed concern that the MoIB and self-regulatory bodies have not conducted any study to evaluate the mechanism adopted by other countries to tackle the problem of paid news.  Taking note of the Justice Leveson Report on the press and existing regulatory structure in the UK, it asked the MoIB to consider the report’s recommendations and progress of their implementation while dealing with the issue.

Less Plastic Good Nature

Everybody uses things made of plastic as well as things that comes to us made of Plastic. There are many

types of plastic and they are all light in weight, low in cost, can be used in all seasons and they last long. The funny thing is, we don’t usually end up using plastic for a long time. We throw away plastic bags, cups and bottles, plastic straws, spoons, plates etc. and also we must immediately throw after using them. 
Plastic is made of certain chemicals that do not decompose easily. Anything made of plastic takes a

long time to go away and within the certain period of time it does a lot of damages. The trash we throw away, is collected from various places and is sent to dump yards. At the dump yards it is disposed of as best as possible. The plastic things are collected and cut into tiny pieces, which are then melted to give it a new shape. In certain countries, plastic is reused to make Furniture, Clothes and other useful things.
Lots of trash flows out of the garbage bins. All are thrown away casually, carelessly anywhere. What happens to those plastics???

Well it goes into the drains, ponds, lakes, rivers and one way or the other ends up in the oceans. In the oceans, everywhere there are lots of plastics which keeps floating and sunk like threshers and goes deep down the surface of the ocean everywhere. Because of the waves of the ocean and the rays of the sun, those plastic things in the ocean break down into smaller pieces.
The oceans are the home to many types of fishes, animals etc. They are not used to see such type of

bright coloured and slow moving things in the surface of the ocean. They think those plastics as food, and consume those plastics.

Many ocean birds roam around for foods. They return with plastic and feed 

those plastics to their little babies. They consume those plastics. As they consume those, they don’t get the nutrition which is needed and they die. The dead bodies of those birds are found and when surveyed it is seen that their stomach is full of plastics which is the reason of their death.
There are also many creatures that have died, because of eating plastics

If you visit the sea beach, you will get some kind of idea that plastic is present there in the oceans. Some of the plastics can be seen when the

wave of the ocean comes towards the sand present in the beach. If  we don’t pick up those plastics and throw them in the dump yards or dustbins, the plastic goes back into the water and harms the little birds, the fish and the other animals in the oceans specially the turtles.

The ocean and the sea are home to some of the special and beautiful creatures.

Comparatively there are more plastics present in the oceans than the creatures. Each one of us must do something to get rid of plastic. We must promise ourselves to use less plastics and not to throw them away anywhere. Let’s do something good for the animals in the ocean, for nature and for our planet “earth”.
