India promised to make its economy more efficient
India has promised to make its economy more energy efficient and to cut emissions intensity
of its GDP by 33-35 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels, in a climate-change policy statement
released ahead of a U.N. summit in Paris in December.
India, the worlds third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, also said it would target 40 percent
cumulative installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030.
New Delhi has ruled out committing to absolute cuts in carbon emissions, in contrast to the
United States, China and other big nations which have announced peak years for emissions.
Preliminary estimates indicate India would need to spend around $206 billion between 2015
and 2030 for implementing adaptation actions in agriculture, forestry, fisheries infrastructure,
water resources and ecosystems, it said..
A preliminary estimate suggests that at least $2.5 trillion will be required for meeting Indias
climate change actions between now and 2030, it said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met U.S. President Barack Obama and France and Britains
leaders last month, and called for a climate change agenda that helps developing countries
with access to finance and technology.

Ex-UN general
Assembly head among 6 held in bribery scheme
A former president of the United Nations general assembly turned the world body into a
platform for profit by accepting over $1 million in bribes and a trip to New Orleans from a
billionaire Chinese real estate mogul and other businesspeople to pave the way for lucrative
investments, a prosecutor charged Tuesday.
John Ashe, a former UN ambassador from Antigua and Barbuda who served in the largely
ceremonial post from September 2013 to September 2014, faces conspiracy- and briberyrelated charges along with five others, including Francis Lorenzo, a deputy UN ambassador
from the Dominican Republic who lives in the Bronx.
US attorney Preet Bharara repeatedly noted that it was early in the investigation and told
reporters that as it proceeds: We will be asking: Is bribery business as usual at the UN?
Dujarric noted that the president of the general assembly does not report to the secretarygeneral and is completely independent in functions. He said the UN had not found any
documentation of the claims involving Macau.
Those charged in the criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court included
Seng, who was arrested two weeks ago along with his chief assistant, Jeff C. Yin, 29, a US
citizen whose bail was revoked last week over allegations that he lied to investigators after
his arrest.

kingdom was grappling with a peoples war waged by Maoists that cost more than 16,000
lives.
Bhuttos observation looks prophetic now in light of the ongoing turmoil over Nepals new
constitution, which swears by the principles of federalism, secularism, parliamentary democracy
and republicanism.
Nepal, which for almost nine years ran without a permanent constitution after it abolished
monarchy, stands as bitterly divided as Afghanistan on ethnic lines.
Ethnic groups fighting for more autonomy are busy expanding their areas of influence. The
most vociferous of them are Madhesis (Maithili, Bhojpuri, Avadhi, Hindi and Urdu-speaking
people) and Tharus, who live in the terai bordering Bihar and UP.
In the hills, Limbus, Khambus, Magars, Gurungs, and Tamangs (Nepalis of mongoloid stock)
are equally restive. These groups, along with Khasas (hill Nepalis of Aryan origin), have been
serving the Nepali, Indian and British armies for generations.
In addition, sections of Nepalis, mostly Bahuns-Khasas, and some madhesi groups have been
clamouring for a Hindu state.
But the Nepalis of mongoloid origin, who follow Buddhism or animism, oppose this demand.
Madhesis, who take pride in having roti-beti ka rista (socio-economic relationship) with
India, have suffered discrimination. Suspicious of their loyalty, Nepals former ruling elite
and sections of hill Nepalis looked down upon them.
Nepalis of mongoloid origin, too, have been marginalised for centuries. A majority of Bahuns
and Kashtriyas (the two communities that mainly comprised Nepalis elite) are equally poor.
Tharus, most of whom were bonded labourers till the turn of the century, were the worst
sufferers.
Comprising almost 30% of Nepals population, madhesis are in a position to fight for their
rights on their own. Their home the terai is known as Nepals granary and houses most
of the countrys industrial units.
The madhesis first began to talk about their rights in 1990 when King Birendra reintroduced
multi-party democracy after an agitation by Nepali Congress and United Left Front.
The madhesi movement got a boost when the Maoists made autonomy for all ethnic groups
a major issue during its 10-year-old peoples war.
After the end of monarchy, some madhesi extremists picked up arms to fight for their
cause and got wiped out quickly. The terai, a narrow strip of flat land 20-40km in width,
running from east to west, was not suitable for such an armed struggle.
National Statistical Bureau of China, foreign direct investment into China in the first half of
2015 was a whopping $68.4 billion, more than three times that of Indias $20.6 billion,
between January and June 2015.
A comparison of RBI data between the first halves of 2014 and 2015 shows that incoming
FDI has increased by about 16% in 2015 but outgoing FDI has drastically declined, probably
due to weakening economies around the world. Hence net FDI inflow to India has jumped up
from $8.8 billion to $19 billion.
Analysis of this data by Indias Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) indicates
that most of the foreign direct investment has come into the IT sector followed by
automobiles, trade and the financial sector.

MUDRA Yojana:
Check out top 5 points on whom it benefits
PM Narendra Modi-led government believes that development and growth have to be
inclusive and through the Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana it looks to implement a viable
system of providing funding to the needy and help them, and the Indian economy, grow.
1. These measures to be taken up by MUDRA are targeted towards mainstreaming young,
educated or skilled workers and entrepreneurs including /women entrepreneurs.
2. According to the NSSO Survey of 2013, there are some 5.77 crore small business units,
mostly individual proprietorship, which run manufacturing, trading or services activities.
These encompass myriad of small manufacturing units, shopkeepers, fruits / vegetable
vendors, truck & taxi operators, food-service units, repair shops, machine operators, small
industries, artisans, food processors, street vendors and many others.
3. Most of these own account enterprises (OAE) are owned by people belonging to Scheduled
Caste, Scheduled Tribe or Other Backward Classes.
4. The biggest bottleneck in the growth of entrepreneurship in this sector is the lack of
financial support.
A vast part of the non-corporate sector operates as unregistered enterprises and formal or
institutional architecture has not been able to reach out to meet its financial requirements.
5. Providing access to institutional finance to such micro/small business units/enterprises
will not only help in improving the quality of life of these entrepreneurs but also turn them
into strong instruments of GDP growth and employment generation.

BCCI set to elect new president
The BCCI has called a Special General Meeting (SGM) on October 4 to elect its new President
with Nagpur lawyer Shashank Manohar emerging as a consensus candidate.
Apprising media of the development, BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur said the meeting will be
held in Mumbai and scrutiny of the nominations will be done on October 3.
The Supreme Court hearing on Srinivasans eligibility on attendingBCCI meeting is slated for
October 5.
Thakur said Srinivasan can not attend the meeting but he was not barred from casting his
vote.
Manohar, who has served as BCCI President from 2008 to 2011, has agreed for a second
innings as BCCI chief after initially refusing to come into picture.
Jagmohan Dalmiyas demise left the post vacant and most likely the new CAB President and
former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly is likely to propose Manohars name for the post.

German will now be the
Additional foreign language in Kendriya Vidyalayas
German will be taught in Kendriya Vidyalayas as an additional foreign language while modern
Indian languages will be taught in Germany, according to an understanding reached between
the two countries today to put a lid on a controversy that had erupted about a year back.
An MoU was signed between the two countries on the occasion of German Chancellor Angela
Merkels visit and under the understanding, a pact will be signed between the KV and Max
Mueller Bhavan to formalise the arrangement.
This marks an end to the controversy which had erupted about a year after KVs decided to
stop teaching German as third language and replaced it with Sanskrit.
The governing board of KV had in its meeting on October 27 last year directed that teaching
of German language as an option instead of Sanskrit be discontinued.
The new understanding is a sharp departure from the earlier agreement of 2011 between the
two countries to offer German as a third language in the KVs.
HRD Minister Smriti Irani has been maintaining that teaching German was against the
spirit of the three-language formula and violated the national education policy.
The KVs decision had triggered an uproar and had threatened to derail ties between the two
countries.
It was criticised also by Merkel who raised the issue during her meeting with Modi on the
sidelines of the G-20 summit in Brisbane in November last year.
The government, though, had announced that German would continue to be taught as an
additional or hobby subject from class VI to VIII.
