Proposed IIM in Himachal feared to be fall prey to politics
Proposed IIM in Himachal feared to be fall prey to politics
SHIMLA: Though Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed to keep many of
his promises made to people of Himachal Pradesh during his election
campaign, but the announcement of Indian Institute of Management (IIM)
to the hill state has brought some solace to people who otherwise were
feeling neglected in the rail budget. But many feel that this IIM, like
central university, too would turn into a bone of contention among BJP
and Congress leaders.
Already having large number of private universities, three government universities, a central university besides an IIT at Mandi, now announcement of IIM is all set to project Himachal Pradesh as hub of quality education. Many feel arrival of IIM would boost the local economy.
While where IIM would come is not known as all would depend on the availability of required land, many fear that it would meet the same fate like Central University which has turned into a political football as both BJP and Congress are having difference of opinion on the issue of where the permanent campus of university should come up.
The issue of permanent campus of Central University is hanging fire for last four years since its establishment. Seeing dispute over university campus intensifying, previous BJP government in Himahal Pradesh had proposed its two campuses at Dharamshala and Dehra in Kangra district. For the campus, then BJP government had offered around 200 acres land at Dharamsala, around 500 acres land was offered at Dehra, sources said.
But now the issue of permanent campus has become bone of contention between BJP and Congress. While the BJP leaders are claiming that foundation stone of Central University would be laid in Dehra, Congress leaders are of the view that Central University should come up in Dharamshala. As tug of war has ensued among leaders of two parties on the issue, no one knows where exactly the university would come up.
Sources added that after Congress came to power in Himachal Pradesh in 2012, a fresh proposal was sent to union government suggesting 80 per cent of the campus at Dharamsala and remaining at Dehra by making arrangement for around 400 acres land for campus at Dharamsala and around 200 acre land at Dehra.

Ramayana
Rama with Sita on the throne, their children Lava and Kusha
on their laps. Behind the throne, Lakshman, Bharat,
and Shatrughna stand. Hanuman bows to Rama before
the throne. Valmiki is to the left.
The Ramayana (Sanskrit: रामायणम्।, Rāmāyaṇam, pronounced [rɑːˈmɑːjəɳəm])
is one of the great Hindu epics.
It is ascribed to the Hindu sage Valmiki
and forms an important part of the Hindu literature (smṛti), considered to be itihāasa.[1] The Ramayana
is one of the two great epics of Hinduism, the other being the Mahabharata.[2] It depicts the
duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal father, the
ideal servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife, and the ideal king. The name Ramayana
is a tatpurusha compound of Rāma
and ayana ("going, advancing"), translating to "Rama's Journey". The Ramayana
consists of 24,000 verses in seven books (kāṇḍas) and 500 cantos (sargas),[3] and tells the
story of Rama (an avatar of the Hindu
supreme-god Vishnu), whose wife Sita is abducted by Ravana, the king of Lanka (current day Sri Lanka). Incidentally
the first letter of every 1000 verses (total 24) make the Gayatri mantra.
Thematically, the Ramayana explores human values and the concept of dharma.[4]
Verses in the Ramayana are written in a
32-syllable meter
called anuṣṭubh. The Ramayana
was an important influence on later Sanskrit poetry and Hindu
life and culture. Like the Mahabharata, the Ramayana is not just
a story: it presents the teachings of ancient Hindu sages (Vedas) in narrative allegory, interspersing philosophical
and devotional elements. The characters Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Bharata,
Hanuman, and Ravana are all
fundamental to the cultural consciousness of India, Nepal, and many south-east Asian countries
such as Thailand and Indonesia.
There are other versions
of the Ramayana, notably the Tamil Ramavataram; the Telugu Sri
Ranganatha Ramayanam; Buddhist (Dasaratha Jataka
No. 461) and Jain adaptations; and also Cambodian, Indonesian, Filipino, Thai, Lao, Burmese, and Malaysian versions of the
tale.

Traditionally, the Ramayana
is attributed to Valmiki.[5] The Hindu
tradition is unanimous in its agreement that the poem is the work of a single
poet; the sage Valmiki, a contemporary of Rama and a peripheral actor in the
drama.[6] The story's
original version in Sanskrit is known as Valmiki Ramayana, dating to
approximately the 5th to 4th century BCE.[7][8] While it is often
viewed as a primarily devotional text, the Vaishnava elements appear
to be later accretions, possibly dating to the 2nd century BCE or later. The
main body of the narrative lacks statements of Rama's divinity, and
identifications of Rama with Vishnu are rare and subdued even in the later
parts of the text.[9]According to Hindu tradition—and according to the Ramayana itself—the Ramayana belongs to the genre of itihāasa, like the Mahabharata. The definition of itihāasa has varied over time, with one definition being that itihāsa is a narrative of past events (purāvṛtta) which includes teachings on the goals of human life.[1] According to Hindu tradition, the Ramayana takes place during a period of time known as Treta Yuga.[10]
In its extant form, Valmiki's Ramayana is an epic poem of some 50,000 lines. The text survives in several thousand partial and complete manuscripts, the oldest of which is a palm-leaf manuscript found in Nepal and dated to the 11th century CE.[11] The text has several regional renderings,[12] recensions, and subrecensions. Textual scholar Robert P. Goldman differentiates two major regional recensions: the northern (n) and the southern (s).[13] Scholar Romesh Chunder Dutt writes that "the Ramayana, like the Mahabharata, is a growth of centuries, but the main story is more distinctly the creation of one mind."[14]
There has been discussion as to whether the first and the last chapters of Valmiki's Ramayana were composed by the original author. Most Hindus still believe they are integral parts of the book, in spite of some style differences and narrative contradictions between these two chapters and the rest of the book.[15][16]
Famous retellings include Gona Budda Reddy's Ramayanam in Telugu, Kamban's Ramavataram in Tamil (c. 11th–12th century), Madhava Kandali's Saptakanda Ramayana in Assamese (c. 14th century), Krittibas Ojha's Krittivasi Ramayan (also known as Shri Rama panchali) in Bengali (c. 15th century), sant Eknath's Bhavarth Ramayan (c. 16th century) in Marathi (which is spoken in Maharashtra), Balaram Das' Dandi Ramayana (also known as the Jagamohan Ramayana) (c. 16th century) in Oriya, Tulsidas' Ramcharitamanas (c. 16th century) in Awadhi (which is an eastern form of Hindi),[12] and Thunchaththu Ezhuthachan's Adhyathmaramayanam in Malayalam.
Period
Some cultural evidence (the presence of sati in the Mahabharata but not in the main body of the Ramayana) suggests that the Ramayana predates the Mahabharata.[17] However, the general cultural background of the Ramayana is one of the post-urbanization period of the eastern part of north India and Nepal, while the Mahabharata reflects the Kuru areas west of this, from the Rigvedic to the late Vedic period.[18]By tradition, the text belongs to the Treta Yuga, second of the four eons (yuga) of Hindu chronology. Rama is said to have been born in the treta yuga to king Daśaratha in the Ikshvaku vamsa (clan).[19] Maharishi Valmiki—the writer of Ramayana and a contemporary of Lord Rama—has described in three shlokas.[20] The positions of planets at the time of birth of lord Rama.[21]
The names of the characters (Rama, Sita, Daśaratha, Janaka, Vashista, Vishwamitra) are all known

MUMBAI:
Close to 9,000 engineering aspirants have been declared ineligible by
the directorate of technical education (DTE) after the provisional merit
list was out on Saturday. But the DTE has allowed students to file
their grievances by 5pm on Tuesday. A final merit list will be put up on
July 9.
Of the 1.06 lakh students who registered for the centralized admission process (CAP) in engineering institutes in Maharashtra, 8,809 aspirants from both the open and reserved categories, were declared not eligible.
"There are several students who score below the eligibility criteria of 50% (for open category) and still apply. Sometimes, the state government relaxes the eligibility criteria by 5%, so students just ensure that their application is recorded. Some students fail to submit eligible documents for their claims and are disqualified," said an official from the DTE.
"Though the number is high, it might come down in the final merit list that will be put up on Wednesday. It has nothing to do with the percentile score of students," added the official from the DTE.

MUMBAI:
Former minister of state and BJP legislator Shivaji Kardile was on
Monday awarded a one-year rigorous imprisonment and fined Rs 1,000 for
creating a serious law and order problem during the 2002 elections of
the District Central Cooperative Bank. Kardile was granted bail on a
personal bond.
Kardile has been accused of indulging in violence, abusive language and threatening voters during the polling process. "We submitted the chargesheet, court accepted our contention and sentenced him to 1-year RI," said a police officer.
The officer said the board of directors of the cooperative bank were to be elected on May 25, 2002. As the poll process was in progress, Raghunath Zine, a supporter of Kardile, rushed to the polling booth and snatched the ballot paper from a voter, tore it into pieces and resorted to violence.
Later, Kardile, who was then the minister of state for ports and fisheries, too, rushed to the booth and abused the voter. The then tehsildar Gopal Kshgirsagar lodged a complaint against Zine and Kardile.
Since the main witness in the entire episode had turned hostile, it was assumed that the court may give benefit of doubt to Kardile and Zine. But in view of the strong evidence submitted by the police, Judicial magistrate (Ahmednagar) M S Todkar convicted both of them. Zine has been sentenced to six months' RI for uncalled for interference in the polling process and an additional three months' RI for violation of the Representation of People Act.
Immediately after Kardile and Zine were convicted, both of them approached the court for bail and were released on a personal bond.
