BHOPAL: In order to increase gross enrolment

ratio (GER) in colleges, higher education department is

planning to construct model colleges in each district of

the state, sources said. At the national level, GER is 19%,

while in MP it is 16%. Sources said model colleges will

be equipped with various facilities. "Students prefer pri-

vate colleges after completing their schooling. They feel

private colleges afford better facilities and study atmos-

phere. Model colleges will attract a large number of

students," sources said. Sources added that separate

rooms will be allotted for gyms and indoor games, and

to run national service scheme and the national cadet

corps programme.

"Furthermore, special provisions will be made

for outdoor sporting activities. These colleges will

also include a modern canteen, top-quality furniture

and a botanical garden," sources said. Other facili-

ties such as teachers' training sessions, additional

language classes, and separate classes for aspi-

rants of PSC and banking will be a regular feature

at model colleges. "It would be ensured that 200

academic classes should be held through 200

days, excluding holidays.

One NCC officer and two sports officers will

be a part of model colleges," sources said.

Seminars on latest developments, 75% compulso-

ry attendance, and public participation through

college-development committees will be some of the

facets of model colleges.

How WE look it

n the midst of

the euphoria

across the

nation,

Narendra Modi

was

sworn

in as the

15th prime

minister of

the country in

the forecourt of

Rashtrapati Bhavan at a

function made resplen-

dent by the presence of

heads of states of SAARC

countries, former presi-

dents, outgoing prime

ministers and several

dignitaries from vari-ous walks of life.

Presence of Pakistan

Prime Minister Nawaz

Sharif made the swear-

ing-in ceremony historic.

The presence of leaders

from these nations at the

Rashtrapati Bhavan did

establish Indias pre-emi-

nent position in the

region and also revival of

the spirit of cooperation

between the neighbours.

Modi swearing-in-ceremo-

ny witnessed heads ofstates or their top most

representatives. This

brought Modi face to

face with Nawaz Sharif

in a manner that suits

India. Most importantly

the SAARC nations

endorsed the new govern-

ment acknowledging

India as the leader they love and respect.

Brand India indeed got a fillip. For the

first time Pakistan television channels

beamed live the proceedings in Delhi. So,

did the world, pick up the signal? Modi

used the opportunity to show case India to

the world while allaying fears about himbeing a narrow minded politician focused

inwards. Having got a dream start it is

now time to get going and keep the

momentum on. Along with Modi, 23 minis-

ters with cabinet rank, 10 ministers of

state with independent charge and 11 min-

isters of state were sworn in. President

Pranab Mukherjee administered the oath

of office and secrecy to Modi and his cabi-

net colleagues in the colourful ceremony.

This is the youngest cabinet in terms of

average age with just two ministers above

70 and two cabinet ministers under 50.

The average age of Modi cabinet is much

less than the earlier NDA as also the UPA1and UPA2.

Despite enjoying absolute majority in

the Lok Sabha, Modi decided to reward

significant pre-poll allies including a

member each from Shromani Akali Dal,

Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Shiv Sena and

Lok Janshakti Party (LJP).

For the first time, the union cabinet

would have more than one-fourth female

members. But some of the prominent lead-

ers lost out as 75 years was decided to be

the cut-off date. Those losing on this count

included LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi,

Gen BC Khanduri and Dr CP Thakur. The

decision to have Sushma Swaraj sworn in

right after Rajnath also indicated that

Modi decided to be shrewd with his bitter

rival within the party. Meanwhile, the first

Union Cabinet meeting held under the

leadership of Narendra Modi appointed a

special investigation team, to be headed

by former Supreme Court Justice M.B.

Shah, to unearth black money as per the

order of the Supreme Court.

PSUs mining on forest

land without approval

After Congress rivalry over distribution of

tickets for Lok Sabha polls spilled onto the

streets, a new row has erupted in the main

opposition party in Chhattisgarh, this time

over appointment of party office-bearers at dis-

trict level. State Congress president Bhupesh

Baghel and party veteran and AICC treasurer

Motilal Vora's supporters are at loggerheads,

after PCC chief cancelled party appointmentsin Durg district, home town of both the leaders,

citing it was not done in consultation with state

party unit.

Congress legislator Arun Vora, son of AICC

treasurer Motilal Vora said cancellation of

party appointments would demoralize dedicat-

ed Congressmen. He said all appointments

were made after taking senior leaders into con-

fidence and it was forwarded to the PCC for

approval.Party sources said Vora supporters

have complained to the high command that

PCC chief was acting in an authoritarian man-

ner, ever since he took charge. .

"There is no groupism in Congress.

Cancellation of party appointments is a deci-

sion taken by the state party chief, hence I

cannot comment," said Durg district (rural)

Congress president Dhanaram Sahu.

However, Congress insiders said everything

was not well between PCC chief and seniorleader Motilal Vora's supporters, ever since

the former removed state Congress general

secretary Subhash Sharma and secretary

Amit Pande, staunch supporters of party vet-

eran, from their post. Since then, both the

groups are at loggerheads. PCC chief Bhupesh

Baghel, however quipped, "There is only one

group in Congress -led by party chief Sonia

Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi." Insiders also

alleged that PCC chief was trying to push his

"OBC agenda" within the state Congress with

an aim to marginalize others. They pointed

out that this was reflected during distribution

of tickets for Lok Sabha elections. Initially,

Congress named an OBC candidate Chaaya

Verma, a former Raipur zila panchayat presi-

dent, as its candidate from Raipur constituen-

cy, but later replaced her with sitting MLA

and senior leader Satyanarayan Sharma.

Later, Congress rolled back its decision withan announcement that Ms Verma would be

the candidate.

After PCC chief went public saying that

Sharma had expressed his unwillingness to

contest, Satyanarayan Sharma's supporters

broke chairs and threw eggs at PCC office,

protesting against state Congress chief.

Subsequently, Congress nominated Sharma to

contest for the Raipur seat.

Forest land measuring 835.616

hectares is being used for mining

purposes by public sector under-

takings (PSUs) in Chhattisgarh

without approval of Union govern-

ment. A review report of

Chhattisgarh State

Compensatory, Afforestation,

Management and Planning

Authority (CAMPA) by CAG,

reveals that PSUs have been min-

ing on forest land even after their

in-principle approval lapsed seven

years ago.

The report states that despite

availability of non-forest land for

compensatory afforestation (CA)

in state, certificates of non-avail-

ability of non-forest land weregiven and CA was done in degrad-

ed forest area. The report also

reveals that forest land measuring

77.500 hectares was used for

development of an eco tourism

centre by state government in vio-

lation of Forest Conservation (FC)

Act. CAMPA unauthorisedly spent

Rs 12.31 crore on purchase of vehi-

cles, infrastructure and other eco-

tourism activities in contravention

to guidelines and instructions of

Centre.

"Selection of sites despite plan-

tation in previous years, selection

of wrong species and payment at

higher rates in the scheme of spe-

cial species plantation under

CAMPA led to irregular/doubt-

ful/excess expenditure amounting

to Rs 1.07 crore," the report

revealed. It also states that non

implementation of hariyali prasar

yojana as per guidelines resulted

in high mortality of 71% to 90% of

plants and unfruitful expenditure

of Rs 82.89 lakh. Meanwhile, an

audit of taxes on vehicles revealed

that inaction by RTO, Raipur, to

adopt a proper mechanism regard-

ing remittance, realisation and

reconciliation of demand drafts

resulted in embezzlement of gov-

ernment revenue of Rs 1.31 lakh.

The report states that there was

was non/short levy of trade fee of

Rs 1.60 crore in six tansport

offices.

Due to non-issue of notice of

demand for recovery of tax from

defaulting vehicle owners, there

was non-realisation of tax

amounting to Rs 1.73 crore in

seven transport offices.

More than 2,000 senior citizens,

former employees of Bhilai

Refractory Plant (BRP) are run-

ning from pillar to post to revive

their medical facilities. BRP was

later rechristened as BhilaiRefractory Limited (BRL) and the

company was merged with Steel

Authority of India (SAIL) in 2009.

While Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP), a

unit of SAIL, has a number of hos-

pitals under its control in the steel

city, the public sector giant has not

responded to the demand of former

employees to restore their medical

facilities over the years.

Various representations, made

by the ex-employees and their fam-

ilies, to the steel ministry, SAIL

and Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP)

authorities have fallen on deaf

ears. BRL ex-officers association

president CP Gandhi told TOI that

it has been clearly mentioned in

the Gazette notification, issued by

Government of India, that while

taking over the company, steel

ministry should take appropriate

steps to take special care and pro-

tect interests of its ex-employees.

"Mostly all are senior citizens.

Our only demand is that our med-

ical facilities be restored. All retired

employees and their families in

SAIL and BSP are getting medical

facilities," he said adding that the

ministry has consistently over-

looked their plight. Gandhi said

that earlier, BRL employees used to

get all facilities, including subsi-

dized housing and free medical

treatment in SAIL hospitals and

expenditure on this was adjusted

by SAIL/BSP from the running sup-

ply bills raised by BRL on

SAIL/BSP. Free medical treatment

was also extended to erstwhile

BRP's superannuated employees.

This free medical treatment cameabout following a tripartite agree-

ment between the management of

BRP, worker's union and assistant

labour commissioner, Raipur.

"Thereafter, BRL management

decided to discontinue such free

treatment at the SAIL/BSP hospi-

tals and it was shifted to Chandulal

Chandrakar Memorial Hospital,

Bhilai," Gandhi said.

In the beginning it was a com-

prehensive medical facility but

later it was gradually confined to

OPD consultations, Gandhi said.

"Number of representations have

been made to the authorities con-

cerned but to no avail," he added.

Local officials of SAIL/BSP refused

to comment saying its for the min-

istry to take a decision.

To preserve and conserve the rivers

of Chhattisgarh, state government has

geared up to begin a special drive of

intensive plantation and construction

of embankments on the banks of

Kharun River. A special campaign will

be launched to clean the river at every

one kilometer. It has been decided that

the action plan would be implementedafter it is approved by the gram sabhas.

Total expenditure on this entire cam-

paign is estimated to be of Rs 200-300

crore, a government press release said.

Officials informed that on the ini-

tial survey of water resource depart-

ment, conservation-related work would

be done at every one kilometre in each

of the 120 villages on the riverbanks ofKharun. Besides, one kilometre road

would be constructed in each village.

Plants of nearly 5,000 different species

will be planted on the riverbanks in

each of the villages.

Collectors and department officials

of concerned districts have been

instructed to initiate the construction

and plantation work under conver-gence category combining MNREGA

and other departmental schemes. The

plantation work is expected to start

after the monsoon sets in the area. The

gram sabhas and the forest department

will be given the responsibility to look

after the plantations and ensure their

survival.

ingly in the interest of people. He

Facebook account in his name will

be separate.

Law and order above allChouhan said that law and order

dem. He congratulated officers for

fully and impartially. Referring to

major criminal incidents including

chain snatching in major cities, the

Chief Minister exhorted to them to

keep strict control over criminals

and not to spare anyone. Police

should be so strict that no new gang

come up. Other states criminals

should not be allowed to come to the

state. Entire police force should be

seen patrolling with zest. No one

order situation. Preventive action

against criminals should not be con-

fined to elections only but should

continue. Chouhan directed that

iterated that policy of zero tolerance

lowed strictly. It is responsibility of

all concerned to ensure clean

cise their powers against corrup-

tion. Chouhan directed to ensure

mendation signed by the Chief

ASTROLOGY

6 MAY26 TO JUNE 01, 2014 (MP & CG)EDITORIAL

ot much of a time has

passed since the over-

confident AAP faced a

huge debacle in the

just concluded Lok

Sabha polls. The party is already

seeing its founding members and

volunte ers rising up in revolt

against the alleged undemocratic

and authoritarian practices running

in the party.

Just after the embarrassing loss

in general elections, party volun-

teers sought answers about the

functioning within the party. Some

volunteers were seen holding plac-

ards with messages in one of the

demonstrations "Who will own the

responsibility of defeat (in the Lok

Sabha Elections)?" at the meeting.

Although, senior party members

tried to pacify the dissent claiming

due to lack of adequate resources

the communication has been lack-

ing inside the unit, but not all of the

volunteers seemed satisfied. If it

was not all the latest to join the list

of dissidents is former journalist

and founding AAP member Shazia

Ilmi. The AAP leader has resigned

from the party citing lack of inner

party democracy.

AAP needs to reinvent itself.

It needs to change its strategy. The

party has made several mistakes,"

she told. And, if you think its all,

think again as we have another rebel

revolting in hushed voices against

the party leadership over lack of

support during his election cam-

paign in Amethi, where he lost the

contest badly to Congress scion

Rahul Gandhi. At least, Kumar

could manage to hand pick a Lok

Sabha seat for himself, Ilmi was

forced to contest from Ghaziabad

constituency, after losing out to

new entrants such as Ashish

Khetan and Ashutosh for ticket to

either of the Delhi seats.

Binny, a rebel leader who was

ousted from party ranks had a view

on whole issue: Shazia's unhappi-

ness with the party is justified

because the top leadership of the

party is very dictatorial and anar-

chic, and is forcing its decisions on

the party members. Shazia Ilmi had

no relation with Ghaziabad yet she

was given ticket from that con-

stituency. Even when she was con-

testing the Assembly elections, she

was made to fight from such a place

where she had very less chances of

winning.

However, its not the first time

party is facing such voices of dissi-

dence creeping up, as in the past

many leaders like Vinod Kumar

Binny, Ashwini Upadhyay and oth-

ers criticised the party.

But, this time around, party is

in real crisis post debacle in the par-

liamentary polls and convenor

behind bars. Ultimately, a party that

began with a promise to clean the

incumbent system needs serious

thinking on how it should run its

daily affairs of course in a more

democratic way.

N

Is it end of Aam Aadmi Party?

Time to look beyond

Gandhis for Congressinally, the voices of dissi-

dents are out in open. The

Congress won only 44 seats

in the 16th Lok Sabha

Elections this year, barely one-fifth

its 2009 tally of 206. Rahul Gandhi,the family scion, has been taken up

for the attack. There are complaints

in the party that a crucial responsi-

bility such as the Congress's cam-

paign for the Lok Sabha election

should have been entrusted to vet-

eran politicians with a finger on the

pulse of the nation instead of those

who are unaware of the ground

reality.

Those advising the Congress top

brass had neither an electoral expe-

rience nor any grassroots connect.

Party insiders say that some from

the Rahuls coterie were put incharge of important departments

and held key positions. This whole

group of people did not listen to

what party cadres and MPs were

saying. And the worst followed.

Although everyone was always

ready for imminent defeat, some-

thing on this scale must not have

been expected even in the wildest of

dreams. Congress needs a complete

revamp of organizational structure.

People with grassroots support and

mass contact must reach the top.

Priya Dutt, who lost elections from

Mumbai, said there was a discon-

nect between

the party and

the people.

Jyotiraditya

Scindia said,

"Increasingly,

more and

more

Congressmen

are confessing in

private that the

young leader Rahul pos-

sibly lacks the qualities to lead the

party. Former Union MoS for

Home RPN Singh said fancy college

degrees were no match for grass-

roots connect. "A political party can-

not be an NGO. It's fine to havepeople with degrees from the best

colleges, but if they don't have a

grassroots connect, they cannot be

decision-makers. We must get rid of

them," he added.

Nothing can be more embarrass-

ing for a party that tasted the worst

electoral debacle since its birth see-

ing its vice president saying he

doesnt want to man the role of

Leader of Opposition. He wants

some veteran member to take up

the role. With Sonia apparently

showing signs to bid adieu to active

politics (considering her advancing

age) and Rahul not interested in the

game

of politics, a new option is much

required to carry the party on his

shoulder. Interestingly, a certain

section of the party wants Priyanka

to take up the role but thinking it

objectively its not all about one

Gandhi replacing the other.Congress election war room con-

sisted of Madhusudan Mistry,

Jairam Ramesh, Ajay Maken (media

in-charge), Kanishka Singh, Mohan

Gopal and Sachin Rao predominant-

ly. And, most of the party cadre

believes that these were the major

players which should be blamed for

the defeat for putting wrong policies

and distributing tickets to the los-

ers. Therefore, someone with no lin-

eage in the party unlike Gandhis

would be a better option, as he may

attract more healthy views and dis-

cussions.

ing a programme here recent-

Mumbai-based infectious dis-

resistance is a resistance of

bacteria such as E coli, which

causes gastroenteritis or uri-

nary tract infections to a drug

to which it was originally sen-

sitive. However, given over or

improper dosage, the human

body develops resistance and

thus lowers the effect of the

drugs. He also suggested thatrule of restriction of antibi-

reversible, but the current

high-end antibiotics have

Modis Cabinet : Omission of Swamy,

Shourie and Rajeev pratap Rudy surprising

Self-medication leads

to drug resistance

s all of Delhis political types

sat around talking about the

incoming government on

Sunday, the chief item of dis-

cussion was the fact that they got a PM

with guts to speak and deliver. In pak-

istan the discussion were based on how

Narendra Modi and his government will

be, especially for Indian Muslims

With Modis victory, the Two-Nation

Theory had come alive once again, and

Jinnah had been vindicated. Its a senti-

ment echoed by many across in pakistan.Indian muslims on the other hand are

expressing a mixed sentiment .Their

concern was over the under representa-

tion of muslims in Loksabha elections.

Those who think Modi's invitation initia-

tive is linked to the old dossiers-and-

lawsuits or 'peace process' routines are

missing the plot.In fact, Modi's initiative

breaks the tired, formulaic way bilateral

relations were conducted. Creates new

openings & opportunities..Till the last

moment , No one knew who would make

it into Prime Minister Narendra Modis

cabinet. Then suddenly Modis people

handed out a press release that, without

confirming any names, gave a glimpse

of what his Council of Ministers would

look like .Modi is focusing on aiming at

Smart Governance where the top layers

of Government will be downsized and

there would be expansion at the grass

root level.In the sense of improving administra-

tion its certainly a good idea, and a pos-

itive step forward . His cabit Modi creat-

ed a new ministry of Ganga

Rejuvenation with Uma Bharati as cabi-

net minister. Uma bharti is one of the

close aids of Modi and she was working

on Ganga rejuvenation from a long time.

Omission of BJPs nationalistic support-

er Subramanium Swamy, Shourie and

Rajeev pratap Rudy was surprising to the

attendees. According to sources , Arun

shourie is inline to get planning commis-

sion vice chairman post.He is Modi's

choice but Yashwant sinha is also lobby-

ing for the post , as per sources. Ananth

kumars entry into cabinet signal com-

promise between Modi and RSS.Rss was

willing to make Ananth kumar as next

BJP president but according to sources

Modi denied it.In addition to having

strong ties with RSS Ananth is consid-ered a member from Advani camp.

With 11 ministers of state and 10

independent charge, many also believe

the cabinet has been built in this way to

allow the Prime Ministers Office to play

a bigger role. Crucially, Modi has spo-

ken of a flip-side to his desire to lop off

layers of the government towards his

maximum governance goal.

A

he grand party BJP is cele-

brating its victory in the

2014 Constituency elections.

There are people who started fear-ing after Modi was sworn in as PM

of India . They are the money laun-

derers, Big Business men with

black money , Hawala kings and

international criminals like

Dawood Ibrahim . According to a

senior Directorate of revenue intel-

ligence black money in the range of

Rs.1,500-Rs.5,000 crore has arrived

in the country, via the stock market

before elections. It was spent on the

election activities . The main rea-

son was that black money holders

feared that they will not be able to

bring back black money to India, if

Modi comes to power.

Election has become a festival in

India where people started cele-

brating it . All the voters wished

that Modi must come into power.

The main reason was his life is a

message to the voters and his deeds

support his sayings.

8 MAY26 TO JUNE 01, 2014 (MP & CG)COMMERCE

hile the the stock markets, the corpo-

rate world and a large section of the

country's citizens are celebrating the

election verdict, many people looking for houses

and apartments, especially in metros like Delhi,

are worried. They afraid that in the euphoria

generated by the BJPs decisive victory, realestate prices may start rising again, making

their purchase more expensive.

Such worries might be premature. Realty

experts are of the view that while there might be

some euphoria-driven rise in transactions and a

marginal rise in prices, this will dissipate soon.

Experts say it will take another 12-odd

months before prices begin to rise within the

sector. And that will happen only if the new gov-

ernment has a successful first six months and

its initiatives put the economy on a higher

growth path. One reason why prices may not

rise immediately is that they are already veryhigh in most major metros. The economic slow-

down has had an impact on salary revisions, and

hence on urban buyers' purchasing power.

Economic activity has to pick up and purchasing

power has to rise before we see more demand in

the housing sector. While the new gov-

ernment can't engineer a quick revival

of the real estate sector, it can take sev-

eral steps that would have a salutary

impact in the medium to long term.

One, it could expedite the process of

granting approvals to real estateprojects. Developers complain that

the authorities too should be made

accountable for not granting timely

approvals.

But remember that since real estate is

a state subject, the central government

can at best create a model of best prac-

tices for offering quicker clearances

and persuade state governments to

adopt it.

The new government

also needs to get the

Real EstateRegulation and

Development Bill

passed. By making

developers more

accountable, the Bill

will revive

trust in the sec-

tor. Low trust in

developers' ability

and intent to deliver a

quality product on time

is one reason why buy-

ers are staying away.

However, some of the harsher

provisions of the draft Bill need

to be modified.

Currently it says that if a develop-

er doesn't comply with certain rules,

he could be jailed. Experts feel that it

would be more prudent to punish an economic

offence with a penalty rather than treat it as a

criminal offence.

Live life bit by bit, sip by sip9 MAY26 TO JUNE 01, 2014 (MP & CG)

eing the same you when everything else is

changing is one of the most difficult tasks

and one of the greatest qualities a human

can possess, considering that the most vulnera-

ble thing to changes is human. Keeping yourself

active all the time, catching all the buses on

time and reaching every place in time arent the

only things that makes you a good person.

The biggest challenge is to be who you are till

the end, no matter what happens and no matter

what changes come. And this is the thing most

people think theyre doing while the actually fail

to do, and others knowingly ignore.

The remaining very few are the ones who

effortlessly continue to be the one they were

born as, the same innocent, nave, new, fresh,

simple and untouched person that their parents

raised, the one who knew it was more important

to be oneself that being famous and important.

Being this one person is my dream since so

many years because even I know I have changes,

I know I am not the one that my parent raised.

I am not the same and I know I need to go back

to who I was a while ago. The only problem is

that this while was too long ago.

Some think that the solution to this is keep-

ing distance from the changes, while the actual

solution is to adapt changes the way they are.

The day you start trying to change others every-

thing gets ruined. The only way to keep things

in place is to mould yourself according to the

change, and at the same time to keep in mind

that you must not change the person you are in

the process. Have you ever seen a chameleon

change its colour according to the place it is in?

That camouflage keeps the chameleon safe

from the changes in the surrounding. The

biggest thing that we get to learn from the

chameleon is to adapt changes as and when

required and come back to our original self.

Alas! Some of us learn to change the colour too

frequently and forget learning to come back to

our original colour. And alas! This number is

way larger than those who know when and how

to remain original. And alas once again! There is

also a good number of people who change their

colours when original is best suited to the situa-

tion. Alas! The chameleon told us good and bad

things, but we chose to learn only the bad ones.

But this is not the first instance where we

have chosen to learn half the part of what is told

to us. It is human tendency to see negative first

and sometimes only the negative part of some-

thing that was originally meant to be taken pos-

itively and bit by bit. Bit by bit! Ahh... That is

what we humans cant do. We are inclined to

doing everything before time and thus forget

how important the bit by bit thing is. The day

we understand the importance of eating that

delicious cheese sandwich bit by bit and drink-

ing that old wine sip by sip and how it doubles

the taste, we will also understand how delicious

life becomes when lived bit by bit. Live life,

understand its teeny weeny bits, learn to change

when needed and to change back to your original

when needed. Love. Smile. Live life bit by bit.

Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan

here has sanctioned state govern-

ments E-mail Policy-2014. Madhya

Pradesh is the first state to imple-

ment such a policy.

Main objective of E-mail Policy

is to give legal status to e-mail cor-

respondence and dissemination of

data. It also aims at ensuring usersaccess and use of e-mail facility pro-

vided by Madhya Pradesh govern-

ment. All departments, offices,

affiliated institutions and

autonomous bodies which draw

funds from Madhya Pradeshs con-

solidated fund, will be provided all

e-mail related facilities free of cost.

Under the policy, guidelines will beissued for giving legal status to e-

mail facilities and their use. It will

be compulsory for employees of var-

ious state government depart-

ments, their affiliated organisa-

tions, corporations, boards etc., who

use this facility, to follow the E-mail

Policy.

Presently, e-mail correspon-

dence and sent documents are not

authorised under any policy proce-

dure like manual/traditional corre-

spondence, validity of works doneand decisions taken using e-mail

Never thought scores would be

tied in 14.3 overs: Rohit Sharma

Kevon Cooper reported for

suspect bowling action

SPORTS

Mumbai: Elated after pulling

off a stunning win against

Rajasthan Royals to make the IPL

playoffs, Mumbai Indians captain

Rohit Sharma said even though his

team had the self-belief to chase

down the daunting target of 189,

he never thought that it would be

able to draw level in just under 15

overs. "When (Ambati) Rayudu

was run out (with the scores tied in

14.3 overs), we did not know exact-ly. We did not know the match

could be tied in 14.3. We wanted to

win in 14 or 14.2 or thought we

would lose, but never thought it

could tie on 14.3," Sharma said

after the brilliant chase last night.

"The big screen flashed it but I

was not watching it. But our ana-

lysts were working constantly and

we knew we had to hit a boundary

on the next ball to get our run rate

ahead of Rajasthan Royals," added

an elated Sharma after his team`s

five-wicket victory and a passage

into the play-off.Aditya Tare, who replaced

Rayudu, calmly dispatched a full

toss from Royals` left-arm pace

bowler James Faulkner into the

stands beyond the square leg area

to complete the daunting task and

then ran towards the far end of the

Wankhede Stadium in glee with

his teammates chasing him.

With the two teams ending with

the same number of points (14)

after the league stage of the tour-

nament, title holders MI went

through due to a marginally better

net run rate than their rivals. In

fact, there was some confusion

when the scores got tied with the

run out off the third ball of the

14th over while going for a difficult

second run with the Royals even

celebrating before it dawned on

them that the next ball was the

clincher. Sharma said the team

knew how difficult it was to chase

such a big score at 13 runs an over

but drew confidence from the fact

that it had done so in last year`s

Champions League too to qualify

for the knockouts. "With the 190

target, we thought we should enjoy

and not take pressure. Doing it in

14.3 overs is not a common occur-

rence. It was not easy as a run rate

of 13 was needed from the first

over. But we also knew we could do

it as we have the batting and we

had included an extra batsman

(Corey Anderson), so that we couldchase whatever was the target in

front of us.

"In Champions League also, we

were in the same situation. We had

then chased 155 in 14.3. We had

the belief we could do it and were

positive we could chase. The wick-

et was also good to bat on," said

Sharma.

The Mumbai Ranji Trophy skip-

per said it was an unbelievable

feeling to make it but also said the

team deserved it as it had showed

excellent consistency after losing

the first five games in the UAEwhere the first phase of the tour-

nament was held because of gener-

al elections in the country. "It`s an

unbelievable feeling, honestly.

People wrote us off after those first

5 games.

Mumbai: Rajasthan Royals all-

rounder Kevon Cooper has been report-

ed for bowling certain deliveries with a

Rohit Shetty's Singham. And now, he is said to be training harder for

their upcoming collaboration, Singham Returns, which will have a

more powerful entry sequence. An inside source tells us that the actor

is very particular about his exercise and diet regimen. "His training equipment

also travels with him. If Ajay has an early morning shoot, he'll workout during

the breaks or after pack-up. He's strict about avoiding high-calorie food and

doesn't indulge in desserts," says the source.

fter getting a good response for his last outing ABCD-Any Body Can

Dance, choreographer-director Remo DSouza is back with the sequel

of the dance drama, starring Varun Dhawan. The new film is based on

a true story and DSouza feels the Main Tera Hero star is the perfect choice for

the role. The previous film was the story of Vishnu sir (played by Prabhu Deva).

But the sequel is the journey of a boy to take his dance troupe from India to

America. So, this character is pivotal in the film. I wanted somebody who is a

brilliant actor and dancer and Varun is apt for this part, said DSouza. ABCD 2

is expected to go on floors in July and will hit theatres mid next year. Apart from

Varun and Shraddha Kapoor, the dance drama has all the budding actors of the

dance reality shows including Lauren Gottilieb, Punit Pathak and Dharmeshamong others. I will never leave these kids behind.

to signal the new government wants

types of black money deposited in

tax havens, including Swiss banks.

However, the framework of this

task force is ready, but there is yet

no official word from any central agen-

cies or department. As Modi assumes his

new post, the framework of this task force

would be shown to him for final approval. Hewill decide when to make it official, says the

report citing a source.

During his campaigns for the Lok Sabha

Elections 2014, Modi had declared that black

money stashed away abroad would be

brought back if NDA returned to power and

it would be used for the welfare of the poor

and to reward honest income-tax payers.

He had assured that whatever was

needed to bring back the black money

would be done, even if it requires

changing the law. He said the honest

would get respect and the dishon-

est would be punished.

He had promised to create a

new task force to take 5-10 per-

cent of seized black money

and distribute it to law-abid-

ing citizens on fixed

incomes.
