  • Naidu did nothing for Dalits’ welfare: Social Welfare Minister

    Naidu did nothing for Dalits’ welfare: Social Welfare Minister

    VISAKHAPATNAM: Social Welfare Minister Merugu Nagarjuna on Friday alleged that TDP chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu betrayed Dalits in the State.

    Speaking to media persons, he challenged Naidu for a debate on the economic uplift of Dalits. Citing that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had spent Rs 53,000 crore for the welfare of Dalits, he asked Naidu to reveal what he had done for their uplift during the previous TDP regime.

    He reminded the reported comments of Naidu and his son Lokesh against Dalits. “Not even a single scheme or work was taken up for the development of Dalits when Naidu was the CM. In the name of Dalits, TDP workers resorted to looting public money,” he observed.

    The popularity of Jagan among BCs, SCs, STs and minorities is steadily increasing. During Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam and Jagananne Maa Bhavishyathu programmes, people are expressing happiness over the implementation of a plethora of welfare schemes. The YSRC government is committed to the welfare of the poor and downtrodden people, he said.

    Accusing Naidu and Lokesh of resorting to cheap criticism of the YSRC government, Nagarjuna said Dalits are ready to teach Naidu a befitting lesson for his anti-Dalit stand. Meanwhile, YSRC MLC Dokka Manikya Vara Prasad said Naidu totally failed in ensuring the welfare of Dalits during the previous TDP regime.

    “We are ready to explain the difference between the previous TDP regime and the present YSRC government in implementing schemes for the welfare of Dalits. Jagan has initiated several measures for the social, economic and political empowerment of Dalits,” he averred.

  • India to join international climate action in civil aviation from 2027

    India to join international climate action in civil aviation from 2027

    NEW DELHI: India will start participating in the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and the Long-Term Aspirational Goals (LTAG) from 2027.

    This was announced at a meeting of the Parliament’s Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Civil Aviation held in New Delhi yesterday. The meeting was chaired by the Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia.

    The ICAO has been tasked to reduce carbon emissions from international civil aviation as one of its focus areas. In order to mitigate carbon emissions from aviation and its impact on climate change, the global body has adopted several key aspirational goals.

    Among them are a two per cent annual fuel efficiency improvement through 2050, carbon neutral growth and net zero by 2050. The ICAO has clubbed them under CORSIA and LTAG.

    The former is to be implemented in three phases. As the rationale for joining the ICAO’s climate action measures from 2027, the Indian Ministry said “this will enable airlines of developing countries like India to get time to grow more so that they do not face any adverse financial consequences due to CORSIA.”

    Financial implications due to offsetting have to be borne by individual airlines, depending upon their international operations. CORSIA is applicable only to flights originating from one country to another.

    India committed to net zero by 2070 at the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

    The report said Commander Tomy sailed for 236 days on his 36-foot yacht Thuriya, a replica of the boat used by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo around the world in 1968. “The race rules required the participants to use only equipment and technology available in 1968, such as sextants, paper charts and wind-up chronometers,” the report said.

    It added: “The race started on September 4, 2022, from Les Sables-d’Olonne in France, with 16 sailors from 11 countries. Only two of them managed to complete the gruelling challenge, which tested their physical and mental stamina to the limit. The other finisher was Australian Mark Sinclair, who came in second place.”
    Commander Tomy’s journey was not without hardships and dangers, the report stated.

    “He faced storms, isolation and fatigue. He also had to overcome a serious injury that nearly ended his sailing career five years ago. In 2018, while participating in the same race, he was caught in a violent storm in the Indian Ocean that broke the mast of his boat and left him with a broken spine. He was rescued by a French naval vessel after three days of agony,” it said.

    It added: “But he did not give up on his dream of sailing around the world. He underwent surgery and rehabilitation and prepared himself for another attempt. He said he wanted to prove to himself and others that he could do it”.
