The Narendra Modi government recently announced a plan to recruit private sector professionals, based on a three-year fixed tenure (extendable up to five years), to fill joint-secretary-level vacancies in the Union government. These are otherwise filled through departmental promotions in keeping with the protocol laid down by Union Public Service Commission. The plan aims to harness private sector expertise for policymaking and implementation of several government schemes and programmes. Though there is little clarity yet on how the selection committee for these appointments will be constitutedâcare must be taken to avoid conflict of interestâthis is still a great opportunity for utilising both private sector expertise and traditional government management experience.

The Centreâs plan to impart military training to 10 lakh high-school students, chiefly from rural areas, every year should seem desirable. Given, as per The Indian Express, the programmeânamed National Youth Empowerment Scheme (NYES)âincludes a monthly stipend for the 12 months of training, it will mean much needed income for their families. Apart from this, there will be IT skills and disaster management training for the youth, creating a cadre equipped to help in case of large scale emergencies.

The skeletons canât seem to stop tumbling out of the closets of Indian companies. ICICI Bank will soon have as many committees investigating its past workings, as there are bad loans on its books. Meanwhile, Fortis Healthcare continues to be a can of worms without an end. And those are just the more visible ones. Multiple surveys on frauds in companies rank India at the top of the heap of infamy, with growing incidence of various acts of corporate corruption.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in election mode. A picture doing the rounds on Monday, July 16, 2018, tells it all. To sense what Modi is thinking and is up to, look at the Opposition. The picture shows a galaxy of out-of-power politicians lined up on stage with right hands held high. The camera focuses on Rahul and Sonia Gandhi but there is also Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav; Ajit Singh, C Babu Naidu, Sitaram Yechuri and other opposition stalwarts nobody will fail to miss in a crowd!

The Supreme Court used strong words while admonishing the Modi government over the use of petroleum coke (petcoke) in industries and a âdelayâ in banning the import of the toxic fuel, which causes far more air pollution than coal. India is the worldâs largest importer of petcoke, surpassing China which has slowed down its intake of the industrial fuel. Indiaâs import went from around 2.54 Million Tonnes of petcoke in 2012-13 to 11.13 million tonnes in 2016-17.

Days after nineteen-year-old Hima Das made history by winning a gold for India in an international track event, predictably, Google recorded a spike in searches for her. But guess what was on top of the list of searches around Das? Her caste. When we typed Hima Das in the Google search bar, these are the suggestions that surfaced.

In a culture where homosexuality is taboo but arranged marriage is common, finding love as a member of the LGBTQ community can be isolating and discouraging.Thatâs where 24-year-old Urvi Shah comes in. She is the founder of Arranged Gay Marriage Bureau, a website specifically for setting up same-sex marriages. Gay sex is still prohibited in India, but the law is not commonly enforced. Heeding her parentsâ initial wishes not to launch the business in her hometown of Ahmedabad in western India, she launched in Chicago in 2015. She then moved the business to Sikandrabad in northern India but has since taken it to her hometown. Today the site boasts members from 24 countries.

Till recently, there were animated discussions on privatization of Indiaâs bad debt-laden public sector banks. As we approach the 49th anniversary of bank nationalization, the analystsâ community is divided; the proponents of privatization are on the back foot looking at the state of affairs at a couple of large private banks.

If youâre a member of the LGBTQ community living in a country where that can be a death sentence, odds are you donât broadcast your sexual orientation widely on the internet. Same goes if say, hypothetically, youâre a survivor of sexual assault and youâre looking to join an online support group but donât want that information to be readily available to anyone with a Facebook account.

Unwilling to risk its electoral chances in a key state like Uttar Pradesh, the government is looking for ways to appease cane growersâwho are still owed Rs 18,000 crore by sugar millsâbefore it is too late. The food ministry had suggested a Rs 3 per kg cess on sugar, over and above the 5% GSTâthe Rs 6,700 crore that this would have collected was to be used to pay cane farmers. That would have been an unfair imposition on consumers across the country, and it is just as well the group of ministers, headed by Himanta Biswa Sarma, has shot down the proposal.

Janhavi Kapoor, daughter of Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi, who is being launched by Karan Johar in the upcoming Dhadak, spoke about nepotism in a recent interview.

The Indian governmentâs high-speed rail project will mark a paradigm shift in the way people travel in the country. Yet a few articles critical of the project have surfaced in the media. It is essential that matters relating to the issue are put in the right perspective so that the general public gets the real picture. This is all the more important keeping in view the fact that the major strides that the nation takes in its march towards development and growth often get clouded by a dialogue that is political in nature. Like planes. which are so popular, the bullet train will also be a means of mass travel between Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
