PM has put country on path of long-term growth, says Ashwani Vaishnaw
The BJP on Wednesday highlighted the 'transformation in the lives of an average Indian citizen' as well as the strides in both the country's economy and its standing in the global order in the last 11 years of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre. Union Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw gave a presentation on the 11 years of 'seva (service)', 'sushashan (good governance)' and 'gareeb kalyan (welfare of the poor)' under PM Modi's leadership. He said 'humongous tasks' had been fulfilled under the Prime Minister's leadership to put the country on the path of 'long-term growth'. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari besides national spokespersons and senior party leaders attended the event organised at Bharat Mandapam in the presence of senior editors and journalists from the print media. The presentation focussed on statistics related to 12 'big picture' achievements in each sector ranging from the welfare of the poor and the marginalised to the welfare of farmers and women's empowerment, ease of living for the middle class, infrastructure development, affordable healthcare and enhancement of India's per capita income from a little over `86,000 to `2 lakh, among others. In addition to this, the Union Minister also sought to underscore the changes in the very 'vision' of governance undertaken by PM Modi since taking over in 2014 with the welfare of both the nation and its citizens at their core. 'Earlier, there was competition among districts when it came to being declared 'backward', but PM Modi's vision is different; these became not backward but aspirational districts… Under his government, the economy of the very country which enslaved us for 150 years has been surpassed… 'Defence agents', once common in Delhi's corridors, are now a thing of the past,' Vaishnaw said. 'Instead of breaking the back of Naxalism, earlier governments used to only acknowledge its presence across what was called the 'Red Corridor'… Article 370 was treated as a given, something that nothing could be done about, but not any more… No other Prime Minister before him made an announcement as crucial to the welfare of our girl children as the provision of sanitary pads at `1, (a promise) made from the Red Fort,' he said. Vaishnaw also underlined India's stature as a global leader when it came to the indigenous Unified Payments Interface (UPI), through which digital transactions of an estimated `214 lakh crore had been done till January during the 2024-25.

‘Authoritarian' BJP wants to unleash anarchy in UP elections: Akhilesh
1 2 Lucknow: Cautioning the party cadre of BJP's plans to "unleash anarchy" during the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said the saffron party is "riddled with authoritarian mindset and conduct". "BJP has become a challenge for the Indian Constitution because its very character is undemocratic. The BJP functionaries and cadre have unleashed anarchy by their actions like grabbing land from the possession of the poor. The BJP now stands for 'Bhu-mafia Party'. The entire BJP govt is indulging in grabbing whatever it can lay its hands upon," Akhilesh said, addressing party functionaries and workers at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia auditorium at party headquarters in Lucknow. "Robberies, murders and rape of minor girls have become the order of the day as the govt has failed to control crime, particularly against women and girl child," he said. Acknowledging the efforts of the party cadre and foot soldiers on ground, Akhilesh said the SP functionaries were braving the scorching summer sun to reach out to the people and inform them about the failures of the BJP. "Despite mercury soaring beyond 42 degrees Celsius during the day, our partymen are going from door to door to share the sentiments of almost every section of the society which is unhappy with the BJP govt," Akhilesh said, adding that such dedicated efforts would ensure the party's reach in every corner of the state and beyond. "SP is fighting the BJP at every front, be it failure of the govt in the state as well as the Centre, and at the ideological level as well. We will continue to do so to keep up with the commitment we have with the people and work hard to play a constructive role in taking UP on the path of development once again, like we did during the erstwhile SP govt," he said. 'Beware the ides of June' Lucknow: A cryptic social media post from Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has triggered a buzz in the corridors of power about some political developments in the BJP around June 15. A couplet posted by Akhilesh on X in Hindi, read: "15 June ko shrey lene ki Bhajpai yukti, kisi ki niyukti to kisi ki vimukti (June 15 will see BJP's mechanism of taking credit for appointing some, liberating some others)." In political circles, the post is being seen in the light of the three-day national level training camp of the BJP being organised for its lawmakers in Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh.

Tech could help process Census data within 9 months; mobile apps to be used for count
NEW DELHI: Final population data from Census 2027 may be available as early as the end of 2027, thanks to the 'digital' mode being introduced for capturing and processing datasets in the upcoming exercise. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sources in the govt indicated that unlike Census 2011 when it took almost a couple of years for the final population data to be published at the national, state, district and taluk levels, complete with the gender-wise break-up, govt estimates that the time lag between completion of Census in early March 2027 and release of final population data could be as little as nine months. Govt had recently announced March 1, 2027, as the new reference date for the upcoming Census. Though due to start in 2020, the Covid pandemic forced the govt to put the decadal exercise on hold. Census enumerators to use app to collect data Census 2027 will be held in two phases - the house-listing phase in 2026, followed by population enumeration phase in Feb 2027. For the first time, Census data will be collected digitally, using mobile phone apps in 16 languages (Hindi, English and 14 regional languages). These apps are designed to be simple and user-friendly for both the enumerators and citizens, since the latter will also have the option to self-enumerate, the sources said. Enumerators will no longer have to carry bulky paper schedules to the field. With tech use, data to be ready instantly The Census schedules will contain mostly pre-coded responses. On the mobile apps, various options would be available from the dropdown menu. The apps provide a fetching facility to go to a pre-filled Census house record and permit editing the same. The applications will reduce the burden of preparing abstracts, summaries and duplication of other associated work. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With the help of mobile apps and intelligent character recognition (ICR) data processing mostly used to organise unstructured data, the entire data will be instantly ready for processing without extra logistics of schedules. For the first time, a separate code directory will be provided for enabling easy data collection in respect of several questions asked in the second phase of Census (population enumeration). For questions involving descriptive/non-numeric entries, a separate code directory containing possible responses and codes for each possible answer has been prepared. In tune with digital census, a census management and monitoring system (CMMS) portal has been developed by the Office of RGI for smooth conduct, management and monitoring of the exercise.
