Juvenile Justice

In order to achieve the objectives of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as ratified by India on 11 December 1992, the Juvenile Justice Act has been promulgated. The procedural guarantees applicable to children in conflict with the law are specified in this law. The current law addresses the problems of the existing law, such as delays in adoption processes, the high number of pending cases, the accountability of institutions, and so on.
The law also addresses the growing number of crimes committed by children aged 16 to 18 in recent years and by children in conflict with the law. Since January 15, 2016, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 has come into force. It repeals the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000.


Who is a juvenile as recognised by law?


In the Indian context, a juvenile or child is any person who is below the age of 18 years. However, the Indian Penal Code specifies that a child cannot be charged for any crime until he has attained seven years of age.


The Historical Evolution of Juvenile Justice Act in India


The United Nations Minimum Rules for Administration of Juvenile Justice of 1985 ratified by the United Nations Member States in Beijing in 1985, also known as the Beijing Rules, set out the rules, general principles and rules governing investigation and prosecution, adjudication, delivery, noninstitutional treatment and institutional treatment. Two essential concepts are explained in these principles. They are-

  1. Diversion– If children are treated in the criminal justice system, stigmatizing criminality increases the authority of the child, whose authority has been established from Rule 11 of the Criminal Code. Therefore, these principles aim at minimizing the contact of minors with the criminal justice system. To divert the child from the system, the second part of the rule legitimizes police officers, prosecutors and other authorities. This is why juvenile court judges do not wear the black coat and other judicial officials also try not to be as formal and put the child or minor at ease.
  2. Detention– A deliberate sentence imposed on minors but imposed for the shortest possible period and called “detention as a last resort”.

Juvenile Justice Act, 1986


Following the adoption of the United Nations Minimum Rules for Administration of Juvenile Justice of 1985, the term “minor” used in international law was coined for the first time. With the adoption of the Juvenile Justice Act of 1986, this change in terminology had a considerable effect on domestic law.


Before 1979, while Lakshadweep, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Chandigarh and Sikkim had the Children’s Act but they did not apply it. In the case of Assam and Himachal Pradesh, although the laws have been enforced, no institution has been created to deal with the same thing and Nagaland does not even have a separate law for children. The Children’s Acts have been applied in 236 of the 334 districts in the case of other Indian states. In the mid-1980s, out of 444 districts, the number of children’s laws was increased to four hundred and forty-two.


As from October 2, 1987, the Juvenile Justice Act 1986 was applied by notification in all areas where it was extended. The need is for uniform laws over time for juvenile justice throughout the country and for the need to implement uniform laws that are fulfilled by the Juvenile Justice Act of 1986. In addition, there are States with no law in the area of justice of the sixteen, as well as uniformity at the national level. The Juvenile Justice Act, 1987 is nothing more than a full copy of the Children’s Act, 1960 which makes only minor and valueless changes here and there.


Juvenile Justice Act of 2000


The Indian legislator made a sincere effort in adopting the 2000 Act to inculcate the principles set out in the UN Conventions, such as the CRC, the Beijing Rules and the 1990 Rules. minors were promulgated to deal with offences committed by minors in a manner supposed to be different from the law applicable to adults according to the Supreme Court of India. The rehabilitation of the minor is the main concern of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 and not the adversarial procedure to which the courts are generally accustomed. A complete change in the mentality of those with the power to do so is necessary for its implementation, without which it will be almost impossible to achieve its goals.

Juvenile Justice Act of 2015


The increase in the number of crimes (including rapes) committed by juveniles (aged 16 to 18) was the main reason to introduce the new legislation. More retributive than reforming, the new law raised several questions. The new law is considered retributive because it contains provisions for teenagers who commit a heinous crime (punishable by 7 years or more) must be tried as adults but in the juvenile court. The child found guilty of the heinous crime is sent to a safe place until the age of 21, after which he is transferred to prison. The children’s court ensures it. This means that the benefit of a child is not granted to the minor when found guilty of committing a heinous crime.
Many protesters criticized the new law on minors for being unconstitutional. The Court noted that in Rule 4 of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice, in the case of Pratap Singh v. the State of Jharkhand, one had to give all its importance to the moral and psychological elements even when responsible for a crime.
Many activists have raised another problem, namely that the 2015 law violates the spirit of article 21 (A), which states that a person can not be sentenced to a harsher sentence than that which would have been applied to him or her. by the law of the country. Under the new law, if a sentenced minor reaches the age of 21 but has not completed his entire sentence, he can be sent to prison if deemed appropriate. This new law undermines the spirit of Article 20(1).

What is the Institutional Care provided for the juveniles?

Rule 3 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Rules of 2007 states that “the institutionalization of a juvenile must be a measure of last resort after a reasonable inquiry and this also for the minimum possible duration.”


Observation Homes


Section 8 of the Juvenile Justice Act of 2000provides that the state government may establish and operate observation houses in each district or group of districts. A minor is temporarily received in these homes. For the duration of any investigation into them under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2000, minors are detained in observation houses. Minors are kept for a few weeks in the observation houses for the social study of minors.


Special Homes


Section 9 of the Juvenile Justice Act of 2000, states the state government may establish and maintain special homes in each district or group of districts. When the offence committed by a minor is proven and condemned by the competent authority, it is placed in the special home established by the state governments. In the special home, minors are treated for a long time or until their age ceases. Children’s Home
Section 34 of the Juvenile Justice Act of 2000 states “The state government may establish and maintain children’s homes in each district or group of districts.” The children’s home is a home where children in need of care and protection are placed on the order of a competent authority.


Shelter Homes


According to Section 37 of the Juvenile Justice Act of 2000, Shelters Homes as for children in need of urgent support. Shelter homes provide children with space where they can play and engage in creative activities. Children are engaged in music, dance, theatre, yoga and meditation, computers, indoor and outdoor games, etc, to spend their time productively. These creative activities are designed to encourage meaningful participation and interaction among peer groups.


What is the Non-Institutional Care provided for the juveniles?

Section 40 in The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 talks about the process of rehabilitation and social reintegration. The rehabilitation and social reintegration of a child must begin during his stay in a children’s home or special home monitoring organization.


Foster Care


Foster care is one of the non-institutional measures used for the temporary placement of children in accordance with Section 42 of the Juvenile Justice Act of 2000. Homeless, abandoned, neglected and deprived children benefit from a foster family. He replaces parents with others to provide care outside their own home. The child is placed in foster care when natural parents are faced with problems such as sentencing, life-threatening illnesses and being abroad.
The actual parents pay the corresponding price.


Adoption


Restoring family care for children deprived of their real family life Adoption is another non-institutional measure. Section 2(2) of the Juvenile Justice Act of 2015 defines adoption as the process by which the adopted child is permanently separated from his biological parents and becomes the legal child of his adoptive parents with all rights, privileges and responsibilities that are attached to a biological child.


Sponsorship


Another type of non-institutional measure called the Sponsorship Program provides additional assistance to families, children’s homes and special homes to meet the medical, nutritional, educational and other needs of children. Sponsorship is given to improve their quality of life. There are many types of sponsorship programs for children, such as individual-to-individual sponsorship, group sponsorship or community sponsorship.


After-care Organisations


The juveniles are taken care of in the organization of the aftercare, which is a transition home, after leaving the special homes and the children’s home. Minors in conflict with the law and children in need of care and protection, both categories are placed in aftercare organizations. Monitoring organizations allow minors to lead an honest and industrious life. Follow-up agencies are committed to the primary goal of enabling children and youth to adapt to society. In child care agencies, children and adolescents are motivated to stay in the wider society of their lives in institutional homes.

The increasing rates of juvenile crime in India in very concerning issue and need to be focused upon. Although government has laid various legislation and rules to stop the incidents of juvenile crimes but the present laws on juveniles is not creating a deterrent effect on the juveniles and thus the results are not fruitful and legislative intent is not accomplishing.

Russian Covid-19 immunogen still has miles to travel.

NEWS: Covid19

Do not pin your hopes thereon ‘successful’ Russian immunogen

On Monday evening, news portals and social media were suddenly flooded by the news that a Russian medical university has completed the trial of the world’s 1st Covid immunogen. folks were elated and quizzical at constant time because the news skint. therefore is that the wait extremely over for a good Covid-19 vaccine?

“A report by the TASS press agency of Russia on Gregorian calendar month ten aforesaid the clinical test clinical trials would endways Gregorian calendar month fifteen, whereas the second section would begin on Gregorian calendar month thirteen.”

Like all the opposite potential candidates, one being developed in Russia is additionally aloof from being prepared at this time. various reports on Sunday had claimed that clinical trials for a Russian immunogen had been “successfully” completed. What most of those reports didn’t specifically mention is that solely phase-I of the clinical trials had been completed. Phase-II trials area unit speculated to begin Monday, whereas there’s no clarity over phase-III trials.

Pakistanis sing ‘Vande Mataram’ alongside Indians during anti-China protest in London….

New Delhi: Pakistanis singing Indian national song is rare. But Sunday saw quite a few of them joining hundreds of Indians, literally hand in hand, in a protest organised outside the Chinese Embassy in London.
Arif Aajakia, a Pakistani human rights activist who believes in speaking “bitter and naked truth” about his country, shouted “boycott China” and “down with China” along with the members of several Indian diaspora groups protesting against China’s expansionist policies.
“Today was also the first time in my life that I sang Vande Mataram,” said Aajakia.
Joining him also was Amjad Ayub Mirza, who hails from Mirpur in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), a few others from Karachi and many from Iran, all pretty upset with China meddling in their affairs too.

“I have travelled all the way from Glasgow for this protest. I am from PoK, an Indian living under Pakistani occupation. The Chinese are wreaking havoc across Gilgit-Baltistan through CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) and the Pakistani government continues to work for hand in glove with them,” said Mirza, who has been quite vocal against oppression and injustice meted out to the people of PoK by Pakistani authorities.

The Indians, who’ve organised similar protests against China in the US, Canada and other parts of the world, carried posters and placards against Chinese President Xi Jinping, asking him to control his over-ambitious power play.

The growing outrage against China is quite visible on the streets of London too. In fact, Saturday night saw an image reading ‘Free Tibet, Free Hong Kong, Free Uyghurs’ projected onto the Chinese Embassy building in central London.

With the US sanctioning the Chinese government and its officials for their connection to serious human rights abuse against ethnic Uyghur Muslim minorities in Xinjiang, the world condemning China’s ‘brutal, sweeping crackdown’ against Hong Kong’s people, Indians boycotting Chinese products after People’s Liberation Army intruded the Indian territory and killed Indian soldiers in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley and countries from Japan till Australia up against the dragon, the noose is gradually tightening around the authoritarian regime.

Cannabis should be legalised

According to me cannabis should be legalised again like how it was before around 35 years back.Yes seeing it use in medical purposes would glad anyone for it being illegal.  The plant contains more than 120 components known as cannabinoids.In addition, it was identified as ‘one of the five holy plants’ by religious scholars in the ancient ‘Vedas’ scriptures. Marijuana belongs to a category of three psychoactive plants known as marijuana sativa, cannabis indica, and cannabis ruderalis. For centuries, cannabis was a component of India’s religious ceremonies and festivities. Ancient Indian Ayurvedic traditions used hemp in drugs as an active component, from digestive issues to blood pressure. In the Ayurvedic scriptures, almost 191 recipes and more than 15 treatment types have used cannabis as a main component. Which could also help us handle Covid 19

It was most sometimes connected with Shiva and believed to be a giver of happiness and a liberator. 

Later Charas smoking in an earthen pipe called chili used to be a community activity. In reality, Sadhus or ascetics are assumed to be seeking the divine through cannabis.

Dr. Peter Grinspoon created the two generally recognized cannabinoids present in cannabis plants: Cannabidiol(CBD) and Tetrahydro Cannabidiol(THC)

THC is a controlled drug which includes psychotropic components that offer the patient a ‘high.’ 

CBD is non-toxic and has a variety of legitimate applications, including for medication, cosmetics goods , furniture and gasoline.While knowing a strong past People have still lawfully and industrially ignored cannabis in India. Of reality, several of the films and ads promoted make it appear like a product is harmful for wellbeing. So because of that misconception, actual consumers are often reluctant to dig at the more beneficial is effective uses. Let me explain some of the uses:

Uses:

Since time people have proposed that weed is the “penicillin of Ayurvedic medicine. 

And that’s why numerous Indian medical practitioners are pressuring the government to remove the ban because they want to research the usage of cannaboids to manage cancer.chronic patients, anxiety patients.

Marijuana is also used in the manufacturing of body care goods and dietary additives, much as in the USA, a nation that has pressurized other nations to prohibit cannabis.

The second most significant aspect of this product is that it assists with our economies and unemployment by providing work prospects 

By legalizing cannabis, all control will come into the hands of the government (transportation, regulation, supply , demand) which will stop illegal trading activities.

Quitting cannabis is better than tobacco since marijuana is rare. But then smoking is legal in today’s country.

It is very needed to create tax on marijuana and to control it for our  nation, because even though it has completely failed to contribute to neither revenue nor trade, rather marijuana are still being used illegally, especially in Mumbai and Delhi.

 Past experiences with prohibition:

Do you really think that after prohibiting drugs people have actually stopped using them?NOOOOOO

Infact prohibition makes illegal drugs stronger and more potent. 

Prohibition eliminated a major amount of tax income and greatly boosted government expenditure. This also driven numerous users to turn to heroin, tobacco, proprietary drugs , alcohol, and other dangerous items that they may have been unable to find in the absence of prohibition.The numbers also show that stringent laws don’t deter people from using marijuana. 

Recently, another study, ABCD’s ‘2018 Cannabis Price Index,’ revealed that Delhi is the third-highest cannabis consumer in the world, only behind New York and Karachi. Mumbai was also in sixth position on the list. They couldn’t make drugs go away, so it can be handled easier. If it is legal, there would be more options for customers, so authorities might demand, for example. insist on a high level of CBD.

Conclusion:

Cannabis regulations in india are outdated and require long awaited reconsideration.Although it has been a trusted ingredient in the treatment of serious illnesses for thousands of years , the usage of cannabis in conventional medicine remains limited due to such restrictive legislation..While legalization is still a long way off, it is promoting the rising number of cannabis and hemp start-ups and the growing mainstream encouragement for legalizing the product. Given the medicinal and economic arguments for legalizing cannabis, the maximum benefits that legalization will offer will not be long until the Indian government activates.

Airline with profit and loss

The exciting story of AirAsia’s rise to become one of the most respected carriers in the region is well known in Southeast Asia.

It started with the purchase of a destructive aircraft from the Malawian government in back in December 2001 by the founder of mythology and violence, Tony Fernandes. It was a very sad step in the wake of the September 11 American catastrophic collapse of the aviation industry. Although he actually paid 1 Malaysian Ringgit (now 23 US cents) for the aircraft, he had to take a debt of USD 11 million and in order to pay for the services, he had to borrow his house and cultivate all the money he had earned since then. no banks will lend him money as they have no previous experience of using aircraft. Before taking up this great roulette wheel nail, he had a high flying career as a Warner Music executive who joined as an accountant.

He and his business partner and old friend, founder Camarudin Meranun, took two old Boeing 737-3030 planes and 200 crew members after they were discovered and made a profit within a year, flying 200,000 passengers in 2002. 68 planes, some 175 in order, and had 5,000 people working on the planes. They flew 23 million passengers that year. That has more passengers than SIA (Singapore Airlines), MAS (Malasian Airlines), Thai Airways, Emirates or Cathay.

In 2017, it operated 220 airlines, employed 20,000 people, and carried 65 million passengers a year. Since 2019, AirAsia has had amazing access to winning the lowest-cost Skytrax in the world for 11 consecutive years in their international travel and flight awards.

AirAsia has adopted a less expensive carrier business model with the motto that applied to local travelers: “Now everyone can fly”. Encouraged the birth of many Southeast Asian airlines such as SIA’s Tiger Airways (now affiliated with Scoot), Jetstar Asia, Lion Air and Air Mandala of the Philippines, Philippines’ Cebu Pacific and Thailand Nok Air.

Local flights in India are a joint venture that started in 2013. It owns 49 percent of the work, with Tata Sons and Arun Bhatia other shareholders. This partnership saw the first return of Tata Sons pilots to the aviation industry after a 60-year absence.

After being listed in Asia Asia in 2004, Tony Fernandes, a citizen of India, was listed by Forbes as the 28th richest man in Malaysia with a net worth of $ 650 million in 2014. He once had a Formula One team and is currently the co-owner of London football club Queens Park Ranger.

AirAsia is sadly operated and with a reported cost of USD 0.0375 per seat available per kilometer (ASK) in 2019 operates at one of the lowest cost in the world with ASK for any carrier. Despite this, it was not possible to escape the genocide COVID-19 was suffering in the aviation industry as the borders were closed and flights were suspended. The AirAsia  had achieved some great achievement in the past and serving their customers the best services they can provide.

THE MENTAL HEALTHCARE ACT,2017

Mental health is as much as required for the wellbeing of people and for the betterment of nation as the physical health is. Now a day’s mental health is being talked about a lot! Do you know Law and mental illness go hand by hand? Unlike, any other field of medical science. Because the rights of PMI (person with mental illness) must not be neglected and mental illness being one of the leading causes of disability, must be curtailed. World health organisation has also taken effective measures to help people coping with mental illness. Mental health not only affects the health of the individual but leads to social problems like unemployment, broken families, poverty, drug and alcohol addiction, suicide and related crimes. It also hinders the productivity of the people. Chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer, heart diseases, thyroid etc are linked with mental illness. Hence noticing the severity of the issue, government has taken several initiatives.

The mental health care act 2017 was passed on 7 April 2017 and came into force on 7 July 2018, to provide mental health care and services for persons with mental illness and to protect, promote and fulfil the rights of such persons during delivery of mental healthcare and services. The act repeals the Mental Health care act, 1887. One of the main objectives of this act was to comply with the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, 2007. The United Nations Convention for Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which makes a paradigm shift from considering mental illness a social welfare concern to a human rights issue, requires the laws of the country to align with the convention to which India is a signatory. The new act was enacted as the existing act does not precisely protect the rights of mentally ill people.

NEED OF THE ACT: –

According to a study conducted by WHO for National Care of Medical Health (NCMH), at least 6.5% of the Indian population suffers from some serious form of mental illness. Though there are effective measures and treatments available, there is an extreme shortage of mental health workers like psychologists, psychiatrists, and doctors and mental health care centers. The average suicide rate in India is 10.9 for every Lakh people. India, hence undoubtedly declared the most depressed country in the world. Mental health is considered different from general health as in certain situations mentally ill people may not be in a position to make decisions by themselves. Mentally ill people are considered as a danger to society as well. Those who suffer rarely get access to medical help as mental illness is still treated as social stigma. After the infamous Erwadi fire incident of 2001, when 28 inmates of a faith-based mental asylum died in the fire, the need to have an act which will recognize and widen the rights of mentally sick people and to provide better care to them, was felt more than ever.

There is a dynamic relationship between the concept of mental illness, the treatment of mentally ill and the law.  Unlike any other field of medical science, psychiatry and law are co related. You have not heard about health care act related to any other illness but mental health care act is required to protect civil, political, social, and economic rights of the mentally ill individual, including right to access to education, employment, housing and social security. 

The mental healthcare act is a crucial step taken by the government. The act ensures that all the people suffering from mental illness must have a right to live with dignity and must not be treated badly by the society and must not be discriminated or harassed. The act not only focuses upon treatment, but also focuses upon the reintegration of mentally ill people back to the society. After so many failed legislations, it can be said that, this act serves the purpose. With the establishment of several mental health care centres and availability of mental health care practitioners, we are awaiting to see the consequences.

IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE ACT:-

  1. Advanced directive – A major of sound mind can write an Advance directive (AD) as specified by mental health authority regarding his intention for the way he/she wishes to be taken care of by a particular person nominated representative (NR) in case he/she suffers mental illness later in life
  2. Nominated representative – There is a provision in this act for nominated representative by a mentally ill person. Any person can nominate a person as a nominated representative in writing in AD.
  3. Rights of mentally ill person – it talks about the rights of mentally ill persons like right of non-discrimination and right to confidentiality.
  4. Decriminalization of section 309 of IPC- after the commencement of this act, attempt to suicide is no longer an offence and the sufferer must be provided with help than to be sent to jail.
  5. Establishment of specific boards – this act says that, there shall be Mental health care boards at state and central level.
  6. Responsibility of other authorities – other government authorities like police must help patient in case they see they are neglected or mistreated by the family or other people and must take the patient to magistrate and medical practitioner.

The ASEEM Portal

In a move planned for connecting the interest flexibly hole in the talented workforce post the relocation of laborers to their towns and give business chances to a huge number of individuals who have lost their positions The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE)  has built up the Aatmanirbhar Skilled Employee Employer Mapping (ASEEM) gateway that will help skilled individuals find feasible occupation openings.

“ The ASEEM portal has been envisioned to give a huge impetus to our persistent efforts to bridge the demand-supply gap for skilled workforce across sectors, bringing limitless and infinite opportunities for the nation’s youth.The initiative aims to accelerate India’s journey towards recovery by mapping skilled workforce and connecting them with relevant livelihood opportunities in their local communities, especially in the post Covid era ,” said Mahendra Nath Pandey, Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has propelled ‘Aatamanirbhar Skilled Employee Employer Mapping (ASEEM)’ entryway to help skilled individuals find feasible livelihood openings. The Portal is required to improve the data stream and extension the interest gracefully hole in the skilled workforce market.

It will give ongoing information investigation about the interest and gracefully designs including – industry necessities, expertise hole examination, request per area/state/cluster​​, key workforce providers, key consumers​, relocation patterns​ and different potential vocation possibilities for competitors. It will empower policymakers to take an increasingly target perspective on different segments in the economy. Driven by Prime Minister’s declaration of ‘India as an ability force to be reckoned with’ at the India Global Week 2020 Summit, it will facilitate re-engineer the professional preparing scene in the nation guaranteeing a skilling, up-skilling and reskilling in an increasingly composed set up.

The Artificial Intelligence-based ASEEM will give bosses a stage to survey the accessibility of gifted workforce and figure their recruiting plans. ASEEM alludes to all the information, patterns and examination which depict the workforce advertise and will plan request of talented workforce to gracefully. ASEEM likewise accessible as an APP, is created and overseen by NSDC in a joint effort with Bengaluru-based organization Betterplace gaining practical experience in industrial representative management. Database of work vagrants in Indian states and abroad residents who came back to India under the Vande Bharat Mission and filled SWADES Skill Card has been coordinated with the ASEEM entrance.

The ASEEM portal targets supporting choice and policymaking through patterns and examination created by the framework for automatic purposes. It will help in giving continuous information examination to NSDC and its area aptitude boards about the interest and flexibly designs including industry necessities, ability hole investigation, request per region, state and bunch, key workforce providers, key buyers, movement designs and various potential vocation possibilities for up-and-comers. The portal will have all the information, patterns and examination which depict the workforce market and guide request of gifted workforce to flexibly. It will give constant granular data by distinguishing pertinent skilling prerequisites and business possibilities.

“Migrant labour has been severely impacted by the socio-economic fallout of the Covid pandemic. In the current context, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has taken up the responsibility of mapping the dispersed migrant population around the country and providing them the means to re-build their livelihood by matching their skill-sets to available employment opportunities. The launch of ASEEM is the first step on that journey,” said AM Naik, Chairman, NSDC.

Extra-judicial Killing

An extrajudicial Killing (also called extrajudicial execution) is the murdering of an individual by administrative specialists or people without the authorization of any legal continuing or lawful procedure. The killing of gangsterVikas Dubey by Uttar Pradesh Police has put the spot light back on encounter or executive killing.


In the course of recent years, police in the Indian state Uttar Pradesh are asserted to have done 59 extrajudicial killings. The occasions have started a request by a board of four United Nations autonomous specialists on human rights, which in an announcement in January “communicated caution” about the killings that appeared to have occurred in police custody. Tragically, extrajudicial killings are not new to India. They have been utilized in the past by the police and security powers in changing settings – to subdue uprisings, for example, in the conditions of Bengal during the 1960s, and in Punjab during the 1980s. Right now, the appearance for a significant number of these killings identifies with national security offenses including psychological warfare, and in regions of dynamic clash, for example, in Kashmir, states in the North East of India including Manipur, just as territories of focal India influenced by the Maoist uprising.

Rights of Police:

The police force has the right to injure or kill the criminal, for the sole and only purpose of self-defense or where it is imminently necessary for the maintenance of peace and order. Under Section-96 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), every human being has the right to private defense which is a natural and an inherent right. Section-46 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) authorizes the police to use force, extending up to the cause of death, as may be necessary to arrest the person accused of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life.

In spite of this most elevated judicial inclusion, there has been moderate advancement, with few charge-sheets recorded. What further muddles cases in strife territories is the uncommon enactment known as the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 (AFSPA), which requires authorize for arraignment and essentially concedes resistance to individuals from the security powers in assigned “upset regions”. A request by specific individuals from the military contending for the excusal of cases recorded has been dismissed by the Supreme Court. The Manipur case subsequently proceeds.

Another especially alarming viewpoint is the manner in which these violations are valorised in mainstream society and by the media. Police with such genuine claims against them are named “experience authorities“, and many have been granted decorations just as money related prizes. So as opposed to indictment and discipline, there seems institutional and well known help for these killings.

At last, to check this uncontrolled criminal practice there should be a deliberate exertion on numerous fronts – the lawful, institutional just as cultural. Global weight, for example, the ongoing explanation, is a significant advance in adding to pressure for change. Extrajudicial killings must be examined freely as they influence the validity of rule of law. There is a need to guarantee that there exists a standard of law in the general public that should be clung to by each State authority and the majority. Guaranteeing legitimate physical guardianship of the charged so as to forestall any assault by them on the police work force. Further, there is a desperate requirement for complete updating of the criminal equity framework and bringing out required police changes. Standard rules should be set down to all the more likely train the police staff and outfit them with every single important ability so they can viably handle each terrifying circumstance. Human rights points should be kept in the psyche while managing captured people/people.

Employee Onboarding – Make it or Break it?

Consider two scenarios:

Scenario 1: Debbie was pursuing her post-graduation from one of the Ivy League schools and she was interested to pursue her career as a Talent and Acquisition Specialist in one of the top finance-based company. Luckily the company decided to come to her campus for placements and as luck would favor it, she got the opportunity for the interviews. After series of group discussions and interviews, she finally gets selected as Talent and Acquisition Management Trainee. She received her offer letter and was scheduled to join after 6 months. But those 6 months fell short of her expectations. Apart from a couple of mails which were mostly about documents submission and verification, there was zero-communication. On her first day, there were no office tours, no dedicated workspace and moreover, there loomed a non-welcoming attitude. Months passed by, even her training and performance appraisal was very irregular. Feeling insulted and demotivated, she left the job in about 7 months and decided to go for another organization.

Scenario 2: Debbie joined a new organization which might not be one of the top financial organization, but it was a medium sized thriving organization. She was scheduled to join after a couple of months aftergetting selected. Surprisingly, during those 2 months, she received a congratulatory mail, company goodies and an employee handbook. Apart from that, her HR also completed all the required paperwork. Her first day went by in a blink of her eye. Starting with orientation, followed by leadership team introduction, office tour and a special lunch with her new team, her day went by exceedingly well. Even after 6 months, she went through a methodical training program and a transparent performance appraisal process. Satisfied, she overstayed in that company for almost 9 years.

Onboarding: Building a first-time experience that makes users ...
BAD EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE

So now let me ask you a question – Given a chance, which company would you choose?

Among the two scenarios, the first company lacked a major employee experience – Employee Onboarding, which was apparently instituted by the second company. Onboarding is the process of integrating a new hire with the company and with the company culture, values as well as providing all the necessary tools, software and information, so that the new hire becomes a productive member of the team. Believe it or not, employee onboarding experience plays a very crucial role in the employee engagement and is considered to be potential investment in the employee retention.

But some people might ask, what is the necessity of such a program. The sole reason is to allow the new hires to be familiarized with the company culture, to determine the fit and most importantly, to remove the confusion and the anxiety that usually haunts the hire on the first day. Research says that our new generation, that is Gen Z is very much dependent on the manager’s approval and they expect themselves to be highly productive from the very first day of hire. New hires have immense expectations from his new company in terms of engagement, career development and growth and similarly, the employer also has expectations from the new hire in terms of performance and contribution. And the very first step to build that relationship is this EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE.

Employee Onboarding consists of 5 major steps:

  1. Pre-hire – This is the period between the selection of the candidate and his first day. Operations HR plays a very important role in the pre-hire stage. During this time, the company sends the offer letter which is to be signed and sent back. The company also sends a company guide (mission, vision and values), an employee handbook (compensation and benefits policies) and company goodies (paper weight, coffee mug, coaster etc). During this time, background and documents verification is the most crucial part.
  2. First day – On this day, the HR Team plays a crucial role by welcoming the new hire. Usually the day starts with orientation in the form of webinars and videos, but mostly done face to face. An employment contract is also signed on this day. This is followed by meeting with the leadership team who delivers information about the company’s culture, an office tour, a lunch with the dedicated team and most importantly, assignment of the workspace.
  3. New Employee Orientation – During these days, the team lead introduces the entire team with the new hire and assigns a buddy and a mentor for guidance. Also, some important contact lists in terms of work and safety are also provided. Access and account creation is also done. It is very important for the new hire to get acquainted with all the team members and try to acclimatize in the new workplace.
  4. New Employee Training – After the orientation is complete, the hew hire should understand who are the major stakeholders of his work. A training program should be developed with quantifiable objectives to make the new hire productive and the training should be result oriented. Post that, small achievable goals will be set with milestones and deadlines. The new hire will be observed and then the ground is set for performance evaluation. This is usually done for the first 90 days.
  5. Performance Evaluation – Usually after 90 days, the new hire will be evaluated on the basis of training objectives and they will receive the performance ratings. The evaluation is done based on observation or interview. The result of the evaluation is either more training or normalization to the daily schedule, depending on the rating.
7 Problems With Your Onboarding Program
GOOD ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE

These are the major steps which should be followed by a company, with some modifications according to company’s culture. What an organization must remember is that the cost of new hiring is 3 times the cost of retaining the existing employee. So if a company has taken the pain to hire someone, it should bear the extra burden by providing an onboarding platform to make this entire journey a bit easier for the new employee.

“Be thankful to your employees, who are ultimately the face of your company.”

TRAI asks telecom operators to hold on premium services

Divya Patni:

In India the Telecom Regulatory Authority of Indian is blocking the Airtel platinum speeds and Vodafone platinum speed plans for the users for the faster internet speeds and the priority network service for the customers.  The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India asked to the private telecom service providers such as Vodafone and Airtel as well as Idea to keep a pause on their prority plans that was launched in India recently. The authority of telecom questioned to them that the operators they that can give the full access of their high speed internet and service priority to the customers that will be paying for the premium plans in the whole county. TRAI wrote to the telecom opertators that to provide the full details of their priority plans to them and which are the plans that will provide the priority to the customers and how.

TRAI marked the questions to them that how the companies are giving up the interests from their regular subscribers, and telecom company operators are trying to take more money from the consumers just for the marketing strategy. They asked they can really give the priority to all the customers that are paying for the priority network to them and splitting cheaper cost plans and giving less internet speed and less priority to the regular customers. Airtel officials said that we are passionate about what we are delivering the best network and the services to the customers.

The TRAI replied back to the airtel and said not everytime it can be a best network at any places in the whole county. Currently, Airtel is delivering its best services to the customers by and said they are doing  its  best for making this connection the best in the county and giving the best services to the customers that are willing for the best network in the county. And recognized internationally for its speed, video quality and latency/ping. At the same time, we want to keep raising the bar for our postpaid customers in terms of services and overall experience.

Recently, Airtel announced that it would give more preference to the platinum mobile constumers who will pay Rupees 499 or above for postpaid connections on its 4G network. The platinum customers will be provided the priority of service and the quality of network and will get better experience and better speeds as compared to the normal users that are paying less for the same telecom operator airtel.

On the same end the Vodafone also stared its services for the priority services for its postpaid customers as the name REDX plans that will promise up to 50 percent of faster internet speed to the customers and other benefits to the customers and they will provide the best customer care support to their customers. The plan has filled with the TRAI for past eight months with the further modifications to the plan filled in May with some customers onboarding the plan as per the sources.

Vodafone officials said, Vodafone REDX plan offers a range benfits including unlimited data, calls, premium content for their customers.

Movies on OTT Platforms, a welcome?

Everyone is well aware of the situation the world is in right now. Things haven’t been pleasant since mid-march. But with almost four months in lockdown, people are bored and sick of staying indoors. No social gatherings, movies, restaurants, long drives and so on has made many restless and agitated.

The go out entertainment apart from social media and online games is the online streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+Hotstar and Amazon Prime. But a period of four months is long enough to finish watching all the interesting television series and movies, especially when one has no other form of entertainment.

Like many other industries and sectors, this pandemic has affected the entertainment industry also. With shootings been suspended indefinitely and all the pending work like the post-production and dubbing have also come to a standstill.

Some films which have successfully completed the post-production and waiting for theatre release were sitting on the idea of releasing the movie directly to the OTT platforms. Bollywood movie, GULABO SITABO, starring the superstar Amitabh Bachchan and Ayshmann Khurrana was the first to release directly in Amazon Prime. The theatre owners did not support this as they claimed they will suffer huge losses. But despite facing some flak and opposition the movie managed to release and garnered attention. This was a big-budget movie with certain expectations.

After the release of GULABO SITABO, other directors and producers also started thinking of following the same pattern and releasing their movie directly to OTT platforms. This was because the movie was welcomed and received well. So now we have a wide range of movies getting ready for release directly to OTT. The most anticipated ones are Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani’s ‘Laxmi Bomb’; Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha and Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’; late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi and Saif Ali Khan’s  ‘Dil Bechara’; Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt’s ‘Sadak2’; Abhishek Bachchan’s ‘The Big Bull’; Kunal Khemu and Rashika Dugal’s ‘Lootcase’ and Vidyut Jammval’s ‘Khuda Haafiz’ among others. The OTT platform Disney+Hotstar is releasing these 7 big-ticket films starting from July 24.

Though the theatre owners will suffer quite a huge loss, releasing films online will help in entertaining the masses during these tough times. Also watching good movies at the comfort of one’s home with family is a good change. Though the theatre experience cannot be matched but this is the most we can wish for now.

There is an endless amount of problems around the globe now and taking some time off and just relaxing and sharing a good laugh with family while watching some good content will help keep us a little energetic and will definitely help in overcoming these unprecedented circumstances.

McLeod Ganj

Located in the Kangra district and at the suburbs of the town of Dharamshala, Mcleodganj, Himachal Pradesh is one of the most favourited tourist destinations of recent times. Mcleodganj is also sometimes referred to as the Little Lhasa because of being occupied by a lot of Tibetans who moved here after China’s invasion of their own homeland.It is also noteworthy that the exiled government of Tibet is also based in Mcleodganj.

Speaking of Mcleodganj tourism, this quaint little town is some 3 km away from Dharamshala and is visited by thousands of tourists every year. People come here for various reasons like spirituality, volunteer programs, Himalayan experiences and adventures, and for much other sightseeing, photo and excursion opportunities in this religious small town cum hill station in the Himalayas.

This town is majorly famous for spiritual getaway and pilgrimage of Buddhists from around the globe. The 14th Dalai Lama of the Buddhists, Lama Tenzin Gyatso after his exile from tibet in 1960, settled in this town and formed government of tibet (in exile) into this beautiful town.

8) Andaman & Nicobar

With a close to 5 Hour journey via Delhi to Andaman through air, travelling a distance of 2,481 Km, you are now at India’s Island paradise Andaman & Nicobar.

Long fabled among travellers for its mesmerising beaches, deep water wonders and primeval location in the middle of nowhere, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are still the ideal place to get away from it all. The archipelago has around 572 islands of which only 36 are open to the tourists. The island population is an interesting mix of south Indian and Southeast Asian settlers, as well as Negrito ethnic groups on some islands whose arrival here still has anthropologists baffled.

The island houses some rare creatures to its ecosystem– Spectacular Coral Reefs, The Biggest Crabs, Largest Turtles, the most vibrant fishes and butterflies.

Island’s Drone Photograph

The names Andaman and Nicobar are taken from Malay Language. As the great Tanjore inscription of AD 1050, the name Andaman is derived from Lord Hanuman’s name which pronouced in Malay as Handuman and the name nicobar seems to be an erroneous alternation of south Indian term ‘Nakkavaram’ (Land of the Naked).

The most widely spoken language on the islands is Bengali followed by Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. If you’re aware of any of these languages it might turn into your favour, while exploring the 36 of 572 islands.

9) Hampi

stone crafted chariot at Hampi

Listed under UNESCO’s recognised world heritage sites, Hampi is now ruins of the Mighty Vijaynagara Empire. A place generally less visited by tourists is unknown to many. Should we blame at governments for not uplifting this traditional stone crafted city owning royal residences, temples, towers, roads, and statues, all spread over a massive area.

Another marvellous example of ‘How advanced were India’s ancestors’, from us! they were more technologically sound and had some genius geologists, engineers, architectures, meteorologists, physicists astronomers and many more.

musical pillars at Hampi

Here you’ll find an extraordinary architectural marvel having 56 melodic columns or the musical pillars amongst the most appealing structures of the Vittala Temple. These pillars create melodic sounds when tapped delicately. The most intriguing thing is that the columns are constructed using stones. The melodic mainstays of Vittala Temple are also called SAREGAMA pillars.

There is a typical misguided judgment that Hampi was built up by the Vijayanagara Empire. Nonetheless, the primary historical record of settlement in Hampi goes back to 1st Century. Evidence shows that the district of Hampi was under the governor of Ashokan Kingdom amid the third century BC. Therefore it is so hard to even imagine that how and with what sort of advanced technology this empire was built in the 1st century.

10) Pondicherry Auravilla

Auravilla, Pondicherry

Did you ever knew, there existed an entire universal town that has its own set of rules and it belongs to nobody but the humanity as a whole. An experimental town in viluppuram district mostly in Tamil Nadu and some parts in Puducherry. It was founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (known as “the Mother”) and designed by architect Roger Anger.

The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity. It wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities, Mirra Alfassa had said. The town has a total population of 3000 people from over 58 nations from worldwide.

The whole idea to build an ideal society, an ideal city where differences among humans are diminished close to zero. How much does it cost to stay at a guest house in Auroville? On average, a guest house in Auroville costs $19 (₹1400) per night (based on Booking.com prices).

Marital Rape:Culture or Consent?

Patriarchy, often perceived as a “culture” by the Indian society, strives to be protected at all costs, even if that means to strip off the “vulnerable”, of their basic human rights. All concepts that threaten this so-called culture, are categorised as “western concepts”, and are further refused to be acknowledged. Living in denial and refusing to acknowledge the problems, does not mean that they don’t prevail in the Indian Society. In fact, this means that a significant chunk of the society is not ready for the particular problem, but, that does not in any way, give them the right to disregard other people’s safety and security, just because their’s is intact.
One such controversial concept is ‘Marital rape’, often perceived as an oxymoron. Although, ‘rape’ has been clearly defined by most of the criminal codes of almost every country recognised by the United Nations, yet the understanding is rather subjective varying on the culture and relationship of the accused and the victim.  As Estelle B. Freedman points out in Redefining Rape,”At its core, rape a legal term that encompasses a malleable and culturally determined perception of the act…The meaning of rape is thus fluid”. One such factor is ‘marriage’, which supposedly rules out the possibility of forceful sexual conduct upon a wife, since a wedlock provides  immunity to the husband, sociologically as well as on legal grounds in 10 nations of the world.
Well, one of the most difficult challenge faced by people opposing marital rape, is the lack of acknowledgment of this sin. The surprising fact is that this is probably the only crime , where the victim does not recognise her violation of the rights, because control of a woman’s body is foundational to patriarchy. As British jurist, Lord Mathew Hale, states that,”The husband cannot be guilty of rape committed by himself upon his lawful wife, for by their mutual consent and contract the wife hath given up herself in this kind unto her husband, which she cannot retract.” This orthodox thinking is deep rooted in our society and is a shame to our so-called judicial progress, because if we see the section 375 of the Indian Penal Code,1872, although it defines rape, yet there is an exception in the statute which states, that, ’Sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age, is not rape.’

Arguments generally used to justify the non existence of this crime in the IPC, are that there are other sections like domestic violence and cruelty that protect the wives from the oppression and dominance.“there are other provisions that safeguards the rights of a wife, like domestic violence which covers cruelty, so why do we need another law? So greedy, these ‘feminists’ have become!”. This shows us the biggest problem in not recognising marital rape as a form of rape ,that is, the society is ready to accept the husband as an offender of  domestic violence, since the ‘anger issues’ are just unstoppable and ‘he is a man’, but are not ready to accuse the husband of rape of his own wife.Such beliefs are imbedded in notions such as the idea that a woman’s sexuality is a commodity that can be owned by her father or husband, the belief that what happens between husband and wife in the bedroom is a private matter, that a man is entitled to sexual relations with his wife, and that a wife should consensually engage in sex with her husband, thus making rape “unnecessary.” 

The ways in which marital rape is condoned varies cross-culturally. In India, Supreme court ruled in February 2015, that marital rape is not a crime.A government minister then told the parliament, that it could not be criminalised in India, since “marriages are sacrosanct”.(BBC News,2015). Like, in United States of America, although it is a criminal offence, yet a significant amount of attitudinal surveys show that Americans regard the rape of a wife far less than a similar assault by an acquaintance or a stranger. “Marital rape is a western concept, it is not possible in the Indian Society”, as stated by Maneka Gandhi, minister of women and child development, Ironical? It’s a crying shame, that people still have to be convinced, that there is ‘no difference’ between rape and marital rape. A wedlock, does not take away the bodily rights of a woman, she is still an individual and her rights must be protected. This mindset cannot be changed solely by judicial activism, but by educating men and women, and making them sensitive towards each others sentiments.

One of the ignored reason of the exclusion of this crime, is the anthropological aspect of research. As Gabriella Torres points out in her book, ’Marital Rape: Consent, Marriage, and Social Change in Global Context’, that first and foremost, this issue is not been given the level of public importance that it deserves. The  arguments for keeping the exemption have included, first,  keeping the marital relationship private,  second,  protecting husbands from vindictive wives, third, because it is nearly impossible to prove, and fourthly because a charge of rape would discourage reconciliation between husband and wife.

The reason for the less public attention given by the people to this inhuman and heinous act is that, the society is so blinded with culture and customs, that now the customs are not according to the behaviour of the people, but the behaviour is according to the culture and customs. This is where anthropologists come into power, since the society has nicely, adapted the crime to the custom, it’s important to understand what the culture or customary practice originally stated.There can be two possible scenarios, that is, one, culture does not state to violate any right, then society’s mindset can be changed with the right information regarding their culture  and second possible scenario is, if the culture succumbs to the violent and dominant ideology and even after reading the accounts of the victim, the dominance of the culture has a possibility, then it is high time we make a choice between ‘Culture or Consent’.

Paper Bag Day

What a newly discovered thing I have come across, Paper Bag day which is celebrated on the 12th of June, but did we really knew about this? We people only celebrate Valentine’s Day because that is the only day in the whole year which is very important to us. I am not saying that start celebrating paper bag day but at least give some importance to these things also. Stop using plastic bags, use jute bags or cloth bags, whats the harm in it.

History of Paper Bag

For many years jute bags were used, they were the primary method of moving goods across the British Empire but on the other hand paper bags were more portable and cost-effective and soon it became the leading material for portable bags along the trade route. American inventor, Fracis Wolle invented the first paper bag machine in 1852 and “The Mother of the Grocery Bag”Margaret E. Knight designed the square, the flat bottomed and the machine that can fold in into a bag and paste them.

Advantages of using Paper Bags

1.Paper bag day is celebrated inorder to save the climate from harmful things, it is celebrated to create an awareness in the society so that we can switch to paper bags from plastic bags.

2. Paper bags are biodegradable, reusable and recyclable.

3. As for stray animals plastic bags are more harmful and suffocating, paper bags pose lesser chances of suffocation.

4. Paper bags are inexpensive and can be composted at home and they are also easy to handle.

5. It helps to conserve natural resources.

So from today stop using plastic bags, use paper or cloth bags to save your Mother Earth and to save yourself from more natural calamities. We are already facing so many things, so why not take an initiative from today and make things better.

Life after school.

School life is one of the most memorable and refreshing moments in one’s life. You enjoy that moment of disagreement and just go with the flow. However, what happens after our school life ends? We are taught all about equality and calculation, but we are not prepared for life after school. Life after school requires an active approach. It is the most important time of your life that will determine your future. We need to prepare ourselves in advance so that life after school will be full of comfort for us. The most important thing is to set goals and create a career.


Building career
As we all know, school life is a very simple and comfortable time. You live in the same place for more than 12-12 years and the main concern is for the next class. However, after the end of school life, you are sent to the world to make your own decisions. That is why it is so important to build a career from scratch so that you can have a bright future.
To build your career, you need to set goals. Objectives do not have to be long-term. To achieve success, you can set both long-term and short-term goals. First, choose a career path that will bring you interest. It is unbelievable that you will succeed in some fields you are not interested in. Likewise, make sure it has a good location for the future.
Most important, make sure you have the skills to pursue that career. If you don’t, there’s nothing wrong with having the time to acquire those skills through courses and classes. You can enroll in a variety of courses that will help you build a good career with your skills and abilities. For example, those who want to go to the field of Culinary can take cooking classes and learn the arts ahead of time.


The Balancing act
Once you are out of school, you will learn life after school is about hitting the perfect balance. Unlike your school life, you will now have to balance work with your life. There will be people who will ask you to bury your head in books or just work regularly with a certain skill. But, you shouldn’t forget to hit the perfect balance.
Since we all know that excess of anything is dangerous, it can be academic or playful. Therefore, you should not let the pressure reach you. It will only be dangerous for you as it will damage your health and have a negative impact.
Remember to always remember to keep a schedule and a reasonable amount of entertainment space. Take your time and continue to take short breaks. There is no harm in meeting friends whenever you feel like the pressure is too great.
Also, remember to exercise properly to keep your mind and body fresh. Policies have the effect of reorganizing things. However, your goals and your plan to achieve the same should not be too difficult. It has to happen and you have to work with all your heart to achieve it.
