Emphasising a "nation-first" ap-proach to decision-making, PrimeMinister Narendra Modi on Thursdaysaid there cannot be any compromiseon the unity and integrity of the coun-try and even decisions at the locallevel should be made on this touch-stone.

Addressing civil servants on the15th Civil Services Day at VigyanBhawan here, he said every decisionshould be evaluated on the basis of itscapacity to strengthen the country'sunity and integrity.

Modi said in the country's demo-cratic set-up, "we should be commit-ted to three goals".

"The first goal is that there shouldbe a change in the life of the commonpeople in the country, their life shouldbe easy and they should also be ableto feel this ease. The common peopleshould not have to struggle in theirdealings with the government, bene-fits and services should be availableto them without hassle," he said.

Secondly, given the growingstature and changing profile of India,it is imperative that things should bedone in the global context, he said.

"If we do not follow the activitiesat the global level, it will be very dif-ficult to ascertain our priorities and

focus area."We need to develop our schemes

and governance models keeping thisperspective in mind," he added.

Thirdly, Modi said, "Whereverwe are in the system, our prime re-sponsibility is the unity and integrityof the country, there cannot be anycompromise. Even local decisionsshould be measured on this touch-stone".

Every decision should be evaluat-ed on the basis of its capacity tostrengthen the country's unity and in-tegrity, Modi said, adding "nation-first (approach) should always inform

our decisions".The prime minister also under-

lined the need to update systems andgovernance models regularly, saying"we cannot deal with the challengesof today with systems of the last cen-tury".

Referring to 'Amrit Kaal', the 25-year lead-up to the centenary year ofindependence in 2047, Modi said itcannot just be a "routine" or simplyfor celebration or praising the journeyfrom the 75th year to the 100th yearof independence.

"India @100 cannot be routine.This 25-year period should be seen as

one unit and we should have a visionfrom now onwards itself. This cele-bration should be a watershed," hesaid.

Every district of the countryshould move with this spirit, he said.

"The great culture of India, ourcountry, is not made of royal systemsand royal thrones," Modi said, addingthat this shows the country's spirit ofaccepting change and modernitywhile preserving ancient wisdom.

He said that it is the duty of thegovernmental system to nurture, un-leash and support the capability of so-ciety.

Citing examples of innovationstaking place in the start-up ecosystemand agriculture, Modi asked civil ser-vants to play a nurturing and support-ive role. He exhorted them to thinkout of the box. "Reform in gover-nance should be our natural stance,"he said, adding that governance re-forms should be experimentative andas per the needs of time and the coun-try. The prime minister said "weshould not change only under pres-sure but should try to improve proactively". "We should notbe governed by the regulations andmentality that emerged in the period ofscarcity. We should have an attitude ofabundance. Similarly, we should antic-ipate rather than just react to chal-lenges," he said.

SHIV KUMAR SHARMACHANDIGARH, APRIL 21

Senior Congress leader and NationalGeneral Secretary of the party, Ran-deep Singh Surjewala said today thatdue to wrong policies of the BJP-JJPgovernment of the state, the people ofthe state are facing power crisis in thisscorching heat and two big power gen-eration units in Haryana were closed.Holding the Khattar-Chautala govern-ment responsible for the power crisis,Surjewala said that a 600 MW unit inKhedar and a 660 MW CLP unit inJhajjar has been lying closed for thelast 7-8 months. The Khattar-Chautalagovernment should also explain whythey are not taking 1,421 MW of elec-tricity from Adani Group at the rate ofRs 3.36 per unit for the last one year asper the long- term agreement signedwith Adani Group of Haryana Govern-ment in 2008. Why is the Haryanagovernment putting a burden on thepeople of the state by buying electric-ity that is five to six times more ex-pensive than other options, despite the

agreement on cheap electricity? Whatis the reason for this kindness to theAdani group?

Surjewala said that in the last eightyears, the BJP-JJP government didnot install a single new power plant inthe state, but destroyed four runningstate power plants in Panipat. Thisgovernment claims an installed capac-ity of 12,175 MW, but why is only6,000 MW available in the state? Thegovernment should explain why only8 days of coal stock is left in Yamu-nanagar thermal plant and only 7 daysin Panipat thermal plant and what isthe government doing to provide prop-er power supply. Surjewala said thatdue to the state government 65 lakhdomestic consumers, 6.57 lakh agri-cultural connection consumers and1.16 lakh 16 thousand are facing de-clared and unannounced power cutsfor several hours, the BJP-JJP govern-ment is completely unaware of theproblems of the people. The govern-ment officials sit in the comfort of theAC rooms while the people are suffer-ing scorching heat without power.

The vi-olation of the rules is seen with high courage. Now the health de-partment has not been able to take any action on Deepak Dhabadue to political pressure and links with major parties.

EDITORIALForgotten peopleIt’s 2016: a momentous year in the history of the

disability rights movement in India. Parliament haspassed the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act,

which aims to further accessibility, equality of oppor-tunity and dignity for PwD. Six years have passedsince; but where lies accessibility?

The RPwD Act is perfect on paper but its imple-mentation has been tardy. The non-implementation ofthe goals of the Act can be attributed to a general lackof awareness. The existing gap in implementation andawareness is not measurable, but it is certainlydemonstrable.

Section 39 of the RPwD Act requires the govern-ment and its agencies to conduct awareness cam-paigns to ensure the rights of PwD. If this was imple-mented effectively, examination invigilators wouldhave been sensitized towards the challenges faced bystudents with disabilities. Last year, a student withdysgraphia was denied rightful additional time to at-tempt questions in the NEET.

This is not an isolated instance. A case in pointwould be the existing infrastructure in India. Even to-day, a substantial number of new buildings are con-structed with zero accessibility compliance. This is ablatant violation of the RPwD Act. At many public fa-cilities, accessibility begins and ends with a ramp. AtMetro stations, ticket counters are placed at higherlevels, making it difficult for PwD to access them.Disabled-friendly signage is also rare. Indian courtshave held that the right to an accessible public toilet isa fundamental right. In fact, access to disabled-friend-ly toilets was one of the main goals of the SwachhBharat Mission. However, data suggest there is noteven a single accessible community or public toilet inat least 19 Indian states.

The RPwD Act outlines the need for accessiblemobility systems, the absence of which can severelyrestrict the ability of PwD to access various socioeco-nomic and healthcare opportunities. The governmentshould provide them with Safe, Accessible, Reliable,and Affordable mobility systems. Some ways of do-ing this would be by promoting low-floor buses withwheelchair access, providing PwD with assistance atairports, and ensuring that the bogey for PwDs is closeto the platform and not at the end of the train.

Another realm where accessibility suffers is thatof information and communication. Since March2020, the government has released a lot of informa-tion about Covid-19 and precautionary measures butit ignored the aspect of accessibility. For instance, theAarogya Setu app was wholly inaccessible to PwD.Mobile apps should be certified for accessibility to re-alize the aims of the RPwD Act.

The Flower-SchoolWhen storm-clouds rumble in the skyand June showers come down.The moist east windcomes marching overthe heath to blow itsbagpipes among thebamboos.Then crowdsof flowers come out ofa sudden, from nobody knows where,and dance upon the grass in wild glee.Mother, I really think the flowers go toschool underground.They do their lessons with doors shut,and if they want tocome out to play before it is time, theirmaster makes them standin a corner...

Blame game continues in PakIn a veiled attack on Pakistan's Army

chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa,former prime minister Imran Khan

has alleged that "some elements" in thepowerful establishment who indulgedin "bad practices" were responsible forhis unceremonious ouster from power.

According to experts, Khan, whowas ousted from power on April 10 af-ter the National Assembly passed a no-confidence motion against him, hadapparently lost support of the Army af-ter he refused to endorse the appoint-ment of the ISI spy agency chief lastyear. Finally, he agreed but it souredhis ties with the Army.

Addressing party workers on Twit-ter at night, Imran said: "There are alsohumans in institutions. If one or twoindividuals do something wrong, theentire institution is not responsible. Ifone person (in an apparent reference toArmy chief Gen. Bajwa) makes a mis-take, this does not mean that the wholeinstitution is at fault."

Former information ministerFawad Chaudhry told a news channelon Wednesday that relations betweenthe establishment and Khan's PakistanTehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government hadstrained for months.

We tried our best, including myself,to remove misunderstandings with theestablishment but could not succeed,"he said.

The Pakistan Army, which hasruled the coup-prone country for morethan half of its 73 plus years of exis-tence, has hitherto wielded consider-able power in the matters of securityand foreign policy.

Khan, 69, is the only Pakistaniprime minister to be ousted in a no-confidence motion in Parliament. Hewas replaced by Shehbaz Sharif of thePakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's(PML-N). He called on his supportersto reach Minar-i-Pakistan in Lahore on

Thursday to make it the biggest-everrally in the country's history. The crick-eter-turned-politician said that all insti-tutions are not corrupt but some "ele-ments indulge in bad practices".

Khan, in the same breath, praisedthe Army, saying "Pakistan needs theArmed forces more than Imran Khan.Had the strong Army not been here,Pakistan might have been dismem-bered into three pieces." Since hisouster, there have been anti-Bajwa andanti-judges trends on social media,forcing the Army chief and the chiefjustice of Pakistan to condemn thesmear campaign. Both the Inter-Ser-

vices Intelligence (ISI) and Federal In-vestigation Agency launched a crack-down on PTI social media activists andarrested 15 people.

Such Twitter trends could not becurbed despite the action. Khan saidthat his party lawmakers turned againsthim when they were not allowed tocarry on with "corruption", in a refer-ence to the Jahangir Tareen and AleemKhan groups that left him.

On the possible return of three-timepremier and PML-N supreme leaderNawaz Sharif in the wake of his party'sreturn to power, Imran said: "If NawazSharif comes back and gets another

'NRO' (National Reconciliation Ordi-nance deal), it will make a mockery ofthe justice system in Pakistan."

Nawaz Sharif, 72, who is entangledin a number of corruption cases, hasbeen in London since November 2019after the Lahore High Court grantedhim permission to go abroad for fourweeks for medical treatment. Unlikehis brother Nawaz, newly-electedprime minister Shehbaz enjoys cordialrelations with the powerful Army, ac-cording to experts.

Khan termed the last three years -the ones spent as prime minister - thetoughest of his life.

US announces USD 48 mlnaid for Afghan refugees

The United States em-bassy in Pakistan hasannounced USD 48 mil-

lion in aid for Afghan refugeesin Islamabad.

"Pleased to note that morethan USD 48 million of thenewly announced U.S. hu-manitarian assistance is forAfghan refugees and hostcommunities in Pakistan," theembassy said, according toKhaama Press.

The embassy furtheradded that the aid brought thetotal number of US support tothe Afghan refugees in Pak-istan to USD 262 million by2022, Khaama Press reported.

It comes as there are stillthree million Afghan refugeesliving in neighbouring Pak-istan while millions are alsosettled in Iran.

The situation of humanrights in Afghanistan hasworsened since the collapse ofthe Afghan government andthe Taliban's return to powerin August last year.

Although the fighting inthe country has ended, serioushuman rights violations con-tinue unabated. The Talibanhave committed and continueto commit human rights viola-tions, including extrajudicial

executions, enforced disap-pearances, torture, arbitrarydetentions, a massive rollbackof the rights of women andgirls, censorship of and at-tacks against the media. More-over, people in Afghanistanare also facing an unprece-

dented humanitarian crisiswhich is being driven by deci-sions and positions taken bythe international community,especially the US, that haveblocked Afghanistan from aidfunding and access to theglobal financial system.

Hong Kong authorities continueto punish dissenting voices

The recent arrest in Hong Kong ofa journalism professor, oncharges of conspiring to publish

seditious material, has troubled aca-demics and journalists alike andshows how the city authorities contin-ue to punish dissenting voices.

Allan Au, 54, a lecturer and con-sultant at the Chinese University ofHong Kong (CUHK) journalismschool was detained by city authoritieson April 11.

Allan was later released withoutcharge, Voice of America (VOA) re-ported. Allan, whose writing touchedon issues such as the national securitylaw, has worked as a producer forTVB News. He was a Knight Fellowat Stanford University in 2006. More-over, he also provided commentary forthe Ming Pao newspaper and StandNews. Political and law expert Eric

Yan-ho Lai said, "This arrest gives adisturbing message and signals a chill-ing effect to outspoken opinion writersas well as academics who committhemselves in public debate." "Dr.Au's research and teaching interestsare censorship and self-censorship inthe industry of journalism. His arrestis obviously, and sadly, an example ofhow the authorities censor and punishdissenting voices in the city," Yan-hoLai told VOA. According to ReportersWithout Borders (RSF), Hong Kongauthorities are determined to eradicatepress freedom. "The detention of athird journalist from Stand News ...months after the media's forced shut-down shows the government's deter-mination to put an end to press free-dom in the territory," the group's EastAsia bureau head, Cedric Alviani, saidin a statement.

Study finds better way to tackle child maltreatmentIn a first-of-its-kind American study

it was found that a special programadopted in many states to help some

families at risk of child maltreatmenthas been surprisingly successful.

The study, published recently in thejournal Child Maltreatment, found thatstates with what is called "differentialresponse" (DR) programs had about 19per cent fewer substantiated reports ofchild maltreatment, 25 per cent fewersubstantiated reports of neglect and a 17per cent reduction in using foster careservices when compared to states with-out DR programs.

The success of DR in reducing thenumber of children sent to foster care isespecially important, said MichelleJohnson-Motoyama, lead author of thestudy and associate professor of socialwork at The Ohio State University.

"In certain situations, foster care isnecessary to protect children from

harm. However, it is also costly fromhuman and societal perspectives andsome states have been creative in find-ing ways to keep families together,"Johnson-Motoyama said.

"We found differential responseprograms may be getting families theresources they need to prevent foster

care entry." Normally, when a state'sChild Protective Services (CPS) agencylearns about children who may be indanger, it triggers investigations thatcan lead to court orders and a more le-galistic path, Johnson-Motoyama said.

The differential response was de-veloped as an alternative pathway forCPS workers to help families who cameto their attention but were at lower riskof child maltreatment.

"These families have an opportuni-ty to receive voluntary services and toreceive referrals to community agenciesthat may be able to provide assistance,"she said.

The assistance could be in the formof links to organizations that help withhousing, food, teaching parenting skillsand other resources.

When the researchers started thiswork, they weren't planning to focus ondifferential response programs. They

originally were analyzing the effect ofsocial safety net policies in the UnitedStates and their impact on preventingchild maltreatment.

But when they took differential re-sponse programs into account as theyanalyzed their data, the impact of theprograms stood out, Johnson-Motoya-ma said.

"What was surprising to us was thatthese programs emerged as really im-portant protective factors for children inall our analyses. We decided we had totake a closer look," she said.

The researchers analyzed data fromthe National Child Abuse and NeglectData System from 2004 to 2017. Theyharnessed variations in when states im-plemented differential response pro-grams to compare substantiated reportsof maltreatment and neglect and fostercare placements in states with and with-out DR programs. Over the study peri-

od, 24 states and the District of Colum-bia used DR at some point in time.

The positive findings regarding thesuccess of differential response pro-grams stood out even after the re-searchers took into account a wide vari-ety of other factors that could have beenrelated, including whether states thathad DR programs also had more gener-ous social safety net programs.

Johnson-Motoyama said the datadidn't allow the researchers to deter-mine exactly why differential re-sponse programs were so successful.But they do have some ideas aboutwhat might be happening.

She noted that most of the fami-lies who encounter Child ProtectiveServices are poor and may face prob-lems with housing, food, child careand mental health, among other is-sues. In the traditional pathway, fam-ilies may face court orders to partici-

pate in various services if they wantto keep their children out of fostercare.

"Sometimes these court-orderedservices can set families up to fail.They mean well, but they may not befeasible to complete on the timelinesof the child welfare system given afamily's limited resources," she said.

"Some parents can end up losingtheir child, simply because they could-n't fulfil the court-ordered plan."

In contrast, under differential re-sponse programs, CPS employeeswork with families to develop volun-tary plans that help them meet theirneeds and keep their children.

"Typically, these services are tai-lored to fit the family's needs. Thiscontrasts with court-ordered services,which may be one size fits all depend-ing on the jurisdiction," Johnson-Mo-toyama said.

Overall, gold loan disbursals have observed a healthy growth of Rs. 4,610 crore in the nine months of FY22 compared to Rs. 4,140 crore year-on-year, indicating better trends in FY23.

"But it's also moments like these -Sweet cuddles in the wee hours of the morning, gazing into each other's eyes with a look of confident recognition, adorable little kisses, the quiet moments when it's just the two of us, growing, learning, discovering each other and navigating this wonderful journey together. In reality, postpartum isn't glamorous but it sure can be beautiful," Kajal emphasised. Kajal and Gautam got married in Mumbai in October 2020.
