Kavitha holds talks with Union Minister Athawale over 42% BC quota
Hyderabad: Telangana Jagruthi President and BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha has appealed to Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale to take the initiative to ensure that the bills passed by the Telangana Assembly and sent for the President's approval to provide 42 per cent reservation to BCs in Telangana are approved.
The Union Minister Athawale, who arrived in Hyderabad on Friday, met MLC Kavitha. On this occasion, they discussed the BC movement being carried out by Telangana Jagruthi and the issue of providing 42 per cent reservation to BCs. At the same time, a petition was submitted to the President to take the initiative to approve the BC bills.
Kavitha stated that the role of the masses in the development of civilization in the construction of society for generations is very crucial, and at the same time, the lack of representation of those communities in local bodies on the basis of their population is a matter of concern. She explained that OBCs have been agitating for equal opportunities across the country, especially in Telangana, for a long time, and that Telangana Jagruthi strongly believes that the demand for 42 per cent reservation in education, jobs, and local bodies for BCs in Telangana is fair, and in this regard, movements and round table meetings have been organized democratically across the state under the auspices of Telangana Jagruthi. She reminded that the Telangana state government introduced and passed two separate bills in the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council and sent them for the President's approval.
MLC Kavitha brought to the attention of the Union Minister that even though a long time has passed since the bills were sent for the President's approval, they have not yet received the seal of approval. 'We appeal to you to take the initiative to give the President's approval to the bills providing 42 per cent reservation to BCs in Telangana,' said Kavitha.

India Today Cooperative Summit
The Union government has reiterated its commitment to strengthen the system of cooperatives, which have their roots in India's past. For this, a massive expansion in the distribution and reach of cooperative societies covering all panchayats is on the anvil.

The event was attended by Amit Shah, Union home minister and minister of cooperation; Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union minister of agriculture and farmers' welfare and minister of rural development; and Devendra Fadnavis, chief minister, Maharashtra, among other said while the country is known for the cooperation movement, it has an uneven presence. It is strong in western states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Goa, but has been weakened in the northern and eastern states. The government now plans to ensure that not even a single village panchayat is bereft of a cooperative said the government is working to ensure food security and a nutritious diet and soil safety besides increasing agricultural incomes. Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan along with NCCF Chairman Vishal Singh, KRIBHCO Chairman Dr Chandra Pal Singh, NCUI Chairman Dileep Sanghani, NAFED Chairman Jethabhai Ahir inaugurating the event advertisementFadnavis pointed out how a sector like cooperatives, which has a rich history, had no separate ministry in the Union government. 'Prime Minister Modiji recognised the power of cooperation and created a separate Ministry of Cooperation for the first time in India,' he summit also saw prizes being distributed to winners of various competitions, grants of equity to three Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) supported by NAFED (National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd), and distribution of certificates to five FPOs for launch of NAFED Bazaar Shah, Union Minister of Home, Minister of Cooperation The Union government is identifying vacuum areas in the cooperatives sector and will establish 200,000 Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) across the country, the Union home minister and minister of cooperation Amit Shah said at the summit. This, he added, would ensure a cooperative society in all the village panchayats in India.'We have computerised all PACS, and almost 52,000 of71,000 PACs have gone live. Model bylaws have been prepared at the central level, and I am happy that all states have accepted them. Under this, the PACS can do 24 types of work,' Shah said. 'They were earlier into short-term agriculture finance, and now they can also be CSCs (Common Service Centres), Jan Aushadhi Kendras, petrol pumps and gas distributors. They would maintain water supply schemes, build godowns, run cooperative taxis, and make air and rail bookings.'advertisementIn three years, the government has launched the National Cooperative Exports Ltd, National Cooperative Organics Ltd and Bharatiya Beej Sahakari Samiti Ltd. These cooperatives will sell agricultural produce in world markets, and the profits will be directly credited to the farmers' bank accounts. Organic products will be certified and sold under the 'Bharat Organic' brand in local and international markets. This will ensure gains for farmers as well as the end-users who will get certified organic products. Shah expressed confidence that in the next 10 years, these three new cooperatives will grow into major institutions like Amul, NAFED, IFFCO and KRIBHCO that serve Singh Chouhan, Union Minister of Agriculture, Farmers' Welfare and Rural Development Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the people of this 1.4 billion-strong country should get a stomach full of food. There was a time when India was forced to eat imported American wheat, but now, Chouhan said, he could 'say with pride' that the country has sufficient stocks of wheat, rice and maize, and is even exporting foodgrains. He added that under PM Narendra Modi's leadership, they have set a roadmap for agriculture, which includes boosting per-hectare production, reducing the capital costs of farming, ensuring remunerative pricing for produce and diversification. 'We are now in the 11th year, and if we consider agricultural production—be it foodgrains, fruits or vegetables—it has risen by 44 per cent under PM Modi's helmsmanship,' he REVIVING ROOTS: 1.

A language war brews
Jammu and Kashmir was amongst the first states and Union Territories to implement the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, but had been immune from the furore against the policy's three-language formula and the suspicion that it signified an 'imposition of Hindi'. But it couldn't stave off a political standoff over language for long—a recruitment notification for 75 Naib-Tehsildar posts on June 9, requiring a mandatory 50-mark Urdu test has spawned a controversy. A knowledge of Urdu is deemed essential for J&K revenue department jobs—it had been the only official language of Kashmir, and the region's centuries-old revenue, land and administrative records are in Urdu. However, the change in J&K's status from state to Union territory in 2019 also brought key changes to its domicile and land laws—in 2020, the official language list was expanded to five, with Kashmiri, Hindi, Dogri and English becoming part of it. This is the basis on which the opposition BJP is pillorying the Omar Abdullah government over the mandatory Urdu exam. Predictably, it has likened it to the sidelining of Jammu, where a majority speak Dogri, Pahari and Hindi. 'We have five languages; this looks like the prioritisation of one region over the other,' says Sat Sharma, president of the J&K BJP.

Row in Bihar over EC push for new rolls as Tejashwi targets Centre; NDA hits back
Amid the Opposition's mounting concerns over the Election Commission (EC)'s 'special intensive revision (SIR)' of the electoral rolls in Bihar just months ahead of the state Assembly elections, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has questioned the intent and timing of the exercise, asking the need for such a sweeping revision barely a year after the use of the same voter list in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. 'The 2024 Lok Sabha elections were conducted on the basis of this very voter list, in which the public voted and a government was formed. Now, if this same list was wrong, does it mean the assistant electoral officers appointed at that time prepared a faulty list? Does this not raise questions on the legitimacy of the government formed on the basis of that list?' asked Tejashwi, the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Bihar Assembly. As per the EC's directions, each existing elector will have to submit an individual enumeration form. Those added to the rolls after January 1, 2003 – the year of the last intensive revision – will additionally have to provide the proof of their citizenship. Providing the rationale for its order, the EC said that 'during the last 20 years, significant change in electoral roll has taken place due to additions and deletions on a large scale', and 'rapid urbanisation and frequent migration of population from one place to another… have become a regular trend'. This 'special intensive revision' will eventually cover all states and Union Territories (UTs), the EC said. Electors whose enumeration forms are not received by July 25 will be deleted from the roll. Deletions can be contested from August 1 to September 1. While the EC is yet to provide an exact number of electors who will be required to furnish proof of citizenship, about 3 crore electors have been added to electoral rolls in Bihar since 2003. Tejashwi said the sudden move to scrap the existing voter rolls and require all citizens to apply afresh raises questions on the legitimacy of the elections that saw the BJP-led NDA come to power at the Centre. The LoP described the timing and scale of the revision as 'deeply suspicious and worrying', and alleged that the exercise is being undertaken at the behest of the Centre with the BJP and its ally, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United), 'panicking' ahead of the Assembly polls. Tejashwi also questioned the feasibility of the exercise, claiming that the 'last such revision took nearly two years', while the current process is being attempted in a matter of weeks during the peak monsoon season, when 73% of Bihar is prone to floods. 'Should government employees and citizens be saving lives from floods or collecting documents for the Election Commission?' he said. The RJD leader further alleged that the new process 'disproportionately' targets the poor, Dalits, Other Backward Classes (OBCs), minorities, and young voters, many of whom, he added, lack the documents now required for inclusion in the fresh rolls. Yadav claimed that even Aadhaar and MGNREGA identity cards were not being accepted as valid proof amid the current exercise to link Aadhaar with the voter list to prevent duplication. Apart from documents such as passport, birth certificate, Scheduled Caste (SC) or Scheduled Tribe (ST) certificate, an extract of one's parents' names in Bihar's electoral roll of Bihar as of January 1, 2003 'will be considered as a sufficient document in itself', the EC said. According to Tejashwi, nearly 4.8 crore voters under the age of 40 (those who registered to vote after 2003) will now be required to prove their citizenship or that of their parents within a one-month window. 'Of these, about 4% – aged 39 to 40 (born before July 1, 1987) – will have to provide their own citizenship documents. Around 85% – voters aged 20 to 38 (those born between July 1, 1987 and December 2, 2004) – will be required to present at least one parent's citizenship documents, while 11% – aged 18 to 20 – will have to submit citizenship documents for both parents,' he said. Tejashwi cited government data showing that only a small fraction of the population possesses the documents now demanded by the EC. 'According to the Government of India's National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-3, only 2.8% of children born between 2001 and 2005 had a birth certificate. It is clear that among those born between 1965 and 1985, this number would be negligible… According to NFHS-2, only 10% to 13% of men aged 40 to 60 have completed high school… According to the India Human Development Survey (2011–12), about 20% of SCs and about 25% of OBCs possess a caste certificate. Among upper castes, this proportion is even lower, so on average, less than 20% of families have this certificate,' he said. The LoP also pointed out that although the EC has listed 11 documents as valid for voter registration, only three – birth certificate, matriculation certificate, and caste certificate – were 'relatively common'. Tejashwi warned that the revision could disenfranchise a large number of electors, particularly among the most vulnerable groups, and called on the EC to reconsider the move. 'Is this democracy, where long-time voters are forced to run from pillar to post to prove their identity?' he asked. In Bihar, the RJD leads the Opposition Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance), which also comprises the Congress and the Left parties. However, state JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar told The Indian Express, 'This is routine work for the EC, and Opposition parties making political statements about it is very irresponsible… The revision of the electoral roll is beneficial for everyone, it's an opportunity to include more people in the democratic process.' State BJP spokesperson Manoj Sharma said, 'The EC has demonstrated its capability by successfully conducting elections in such a vast country, setting a global example for large-scale democratic processes… However, for those parties that have so far depended on fake voters and bogus voting, this is a cause for concern. In Bihar, the EC has already put a stop to incidents of booth capturing, and now it is working to clamp down on bogus voting. So, raising questions about the Election Commission's credibility is completely unwarranted.'
