Mahatma Gandhi in University of NSW [UNSW], Sydney:Dr.Yadu Singh

Aproud moment for India and Indian Australians.
I was a witness for a great and proud moment which happened in University of New South Wales [UNSW], Sydney today. NSW Minister, The Hon Eric Roozendaal MLC, UNSW VC, Professor Frederick G Hilmer AO, and Indian Consul General, Mr Amit Dasgupta inaugurated a bust of Mahatma Gandhi. It is situated in the grounds in front of the UNSW library. Speeches were made on the relevance of Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings. He was described as a man of peace, non-violence and wisdom. Two quotes which I liked most go like “An eye for an eye will render the world blind” and “Be the change you want to see in the world”.

In a grand yet simple ceremony, three students from Indian community were also awarded for their achievements in UNSW.



I remember vividly that Mr Gambhir Watts of Bhavan Australia has been working on a project to get Gandhi Ji’s statue in Sydney for a while but this project achieved a significant momentum after our energetic and “can do” Consul General, Mr Dasgupta joined the Indian Consulate in march last year. Thanks and gratitude are owed to both these gentlemen. Mr Dasgupta has indeed made us proud.



CG spoke about his visit to UNSW last year when Indian students’ issues were at its peak. He had a very productive discussion with UNSW. It was then that a decision was made to install The Gandhi bust in UNSW. CG had also donated hundreds of books on Mahatma Gandhi and India to UNSW library as gifts from India and people of India.



UNSW VC and other speakers spoke very highly of CG and described him as a man who gets things done. I felt that an apt description of our CG is what we call “Karm Yogi” [A man who believes in doing things and delivering results].



Apart from the Minister, CG and UNSW VC, this ceremony was also attended by other UNSW officials, Gambhir Watts, AIBC chairman [Mr Dipen Rughani], Harry Walia, Abbas Alvi, Nihal Agar, Rohitas Batta, Aruna Chandrala, Raj Datta, Neville Roach, Mrs Roach, Mala Mehta, N Saha, myself and many others.



Media was represented by Pawan Luthra [Indian Link], Aparna Vats [Voice of India] and Harmohan Walia [Hindi Gaurav].



It was a very pleasant atmosphere with beautiful music, drinks and finger food which were served after the inauguration.



This venue should become an important place for occasions like Gandhi Jayanti [Birth day celebration] on 2nd October. Inauguration of Gandhi Ji’s Bust should remind people about the principles and achievements of this great soul. It should also remind people that results can be achieved without violence, a message the whole world needs to listen more often today than any other time.

I can’t describe how proud I was today.
Jai Ho!

Cong looks to wrest back bragging rights over Bundelkhand package

NEW DELHI: The Centre has given Members of Parliament from Bundelkhand a key role in the multi-crore special package for the backward region, in what is a shrewd move by Congress to stop rival regimes in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh from running away with the credit for the special measure.







The Planning Commission has formed an advisory committee on implementation of the package with all MPs from Bundelkhand region across UP and MP in it. The committee will advise on the requirements of the region and suggest development strategy.






The new mechanism follows complaints from Congress that states were misusing package funds. After local MLAs met Rahul Gandhi to seek his intervention, AICC general secretary B K Hariprasad toured MP and gave an adverse report.






The co-option of local MPs as " advisors" is politically significant as it dilutes the imprimatur of state governments in implementation of the package.






Rahul had made Bundelkhand the showpiece of his "development" agenda and Congress made it known that the special package was his baby.






However, Congress has been feeling left out ever since the package was released as its state units failed to make its presence felt in the implementation.






Congress has been bristling at Mayawati regime's decision to keep political leaders away from the process. UP has limited consultations with the package monitor, National Rainfed Area Authority (NRAA), to officials, and did not even invite the rural development ministry, which coordinates main development schemes.






The junior RD minister is an MP from Jhansi in Bundelkhand and exclusion of MPs/MLAs from the process is BSP chief's way of denying space to political rivals in the biggest attempt to improve life in the parched region.






While Shivraj Singh Chouhan regime in Bhopal called elected representatives for meeting with NRAA, BJP's numerical superiority in the state overwhelmed Congress in any jostling for credit.






Congress has sought to get back at rivals with the advisory body. Besides Plan panel deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia as its head, it will have Congress ministers V Narayanasamy and Pradeep Jain along with Plan panel members Mihir Shah and B K Chaturvedi. All political parties will be represented in the panel -- R K Singh Patel and Vijay Bahadur Singh (BSP), Ghanshyam Anuragi (SP), Virendra Kumar, Ashok Argal and Jeetendra Singh Bundela ( BJP).

Bill Gates' visit: Why only Amethi, Mr Rahul Gandhi? बीजेपी

BJP state president Surya Pratap Shahi took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for taking Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates to his Parliamantary constituency of Amethi and said he had to rather take the IT Czar to under-developed Bundhelkhand region.

"One of the richest men of the world, Bill Gates, recently visited Amethi. If the Congress leaders were so concerned about the development of the state, Rahul should have taken him to Bundelkhand region, which is backward and host of problems exist there," Shahi said.


He alleged that the agenda of Congress president Sonia Gandhis and Rahul Gandhi was limited to their parliamentary constituencies of Rae Bareli and Amethi.


"They cannot see poverty anywhere else in the state," he said adding the Congress, which ruled the state for 40 years, was responsible for its backwardness.


Bill Gates had visited Amethi on May 11.

States loath to sharing credit with UPA govt for schemes:TOI

NEW DELHI: States are getting increasingly jittery over central ministers seeking part of the glory on their home turf, with Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh acting to restrain their footprints outside Delhi.

UP chief minister Mayawati has said "no" to elected representatives attending a review meeting on implementation of central relief package for Bundelkhand on Friday. In a similar move, Madhya Pradesh has issued an order that central ministers and VVIPs should take permission to attend meetings which relate to the state or its schemes.

While suprising, it marks an eagerness among non-Congress states to assert their intellectual property rights on schemes and assets in the face of attempts by UPA members to score a point.

National Rainfed Area Authority chief J S Samra and Planning Commission member-secretary Sudha Pillai will visit Jhansi on Friday to check the implementation of UP part of Rs 7,000 crore package spanning 13 districts of UP and MP.

UP's decision to restrict Friday's meeting to officials has surprised central monitors. While it is a state's prerogative to decide upon the invitees, plan panel sources said elected members, who are part of district planning committees, help in holistic approach to problems.

It is in stark contrast to the MP leg of the review in Sagar last month where officials and elected members were invited in two sessions.

At the same time, the Shivraj Singh Chouhan regime in MP has ordered that central representatives should take permission for functions relating to the state.

In a circular to DMs and department heads on April 24, it said central ministers and VVIPs were holding functions or meetings with district officials without the state's knowledge. "It has been decided that functions, which relate to the state or its schemes, should be held only after permission from state government," the circular said.

While Chouhan may be looking to check MP-based ministers like Kamal Nath, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Arun Yadav and Kantilal Bhuria, Mayawati appears to be balancing her renewed focus on development with the political objective of not giving a foothold to Congress-led Centre in the war for credits.

Rahul Gandhi's emergence on `battlefield Bundelkhand' saw Congress cite the relief package as a sign of its commitment to the backward region. An invitation to MPs and MLAs for the review would have put Rahul's key aide from Bundelkhand, Pradeep Jain, MoS in union rural development ministry, and Samajwadi Party MPs like Ghanshyam Anuragi and R K Singh Patel in the spotlight.

But Mayawati's strategy will not end the tussle over Bundelkhand as Centre's imprimatur on the relief package is permanent, with Centre having monitoring rights. Sources said after the Jhansi meeting on Friday, the NRAA teams will visit every district to get a first-hand account on the package.

Rahul's tour to Bundelkhand, which sources said may happen later, may only stoke the tussle further.
