Ambedkar University To Set Up 2 New Campuses: Delhi Education Minister

The Delhi government is establishing two new campuses of the Ambedkar University to increase the number of seats and has prioritised re-conceptualisation of technical institutes, Education Minister Atishi said on Wednesday.

Reviewing projects for higher education, the minister instructed officials to prepare an action plan for modernisation and expansion of all universities and technical education institutions of the Delhi government.

"In Delhi, 2.5 lakh children pass out of class 12. But despite having talent and ability, only one lakh of these children get admission in any university. Taking cognisance of this, the Delhi government started increasing the capacity of its universities," Ms Atishi said.

She also directed officials to expedite the construction work of the Rohini and Dheerpur campuses of the Ambedkar University and said the new campuses will address all academic needs of students.

"The Delhi government is working with a vision of changing the country through education. After the Dheerpur and Rohini campuses of the university are ready, more than 26,000 students will be able to get admission here," the minister said.

Both the campuses will have multi-storey academic blocks, convention block, health centre, auditorium, administrative block, library block, amphitheatre, guest house, separate hostels for girls and boys. Residential units will also be constructed.

Ms Atishi said that two state-of-the-art academic blocks will be constructed in Industrial Training Institute (ITI) Shahdara for 10,000 students.

The first phase of the project was reviewed by the Delhi education minister on Wednesday.

There are a total of 11,000 seats in the current 19 ITIs of the Delhi government, where more than 30,000 applications are received every year, according to the Directorate of Education.

दिल्ली आबकारी नीति : ED ने KCR की बेटी कविता के पूर्व ऑडिटर से की पूछताछ

प्रवर्तन निदेशालय (ED) ने दिल्ली आबकारी नीति से संबंधित धनशोधन मामले में बुधवार को भारत राष्ट्र समिति (BRS) की नेता के कविता के कथित पूर्व लेखा परीक्षक (ऑडिटर) बुचिबाबू गोरांतला से पूछताछ की और अन्य गिरफ्तार आरोपी से उसका सामना कराया. अधिकारियों ने यह जानकारी दी. इस मामले में बृहस्पतिवार को तेलंगाना के मुख्यमंत्री के चंद्रशेखर राव की बेटी कविता से भी पूछताछ की जानी है.

केंद्रीय अन्वेषण ब्यूरो (CBI) ने इस मामले में बुचिबाबू को गिरफ्तार किया था, जिसके बाद उसे जमानत मिल गई थी.

छह मार्च को ईडी द्वारा गिरफ्तार किए गए हैदराबाद के व्यवसायी अरुण रामचंद्रन पिल्लई से भी बुचिबाबू का सामना कराए जाने की उम्मीद है. पिल्लई कथित तौर पर बीआरएस की विधान परिषद सदस्य कविता से जुड़ा था.

एजेंसी ने हाल ही में एक स्थानीय अदालत को सूचित किया था कि पिल्लई और बुचिबाबू मार्च के मध्य में हैदराबाद के एक पांच सितारा होटल में ठहरे थे. उसी समय दिल्ली आबकारी नीति को लेकर मंत्रिसमूह (GOM) की एक रिपोर्ट तैयार की जा रही थी. आबकारी नीति को रद्द किया जा चुका है.

ईडी ने कहा, “यह पता चला है कि उक्त व्यक्तियों ने होटल के व्यापार केंद्र का इस्तेमाल किया था.” एजेंसी ने कहा कि उसने इस मामले पर होटल से जानकारी मांगी है, जिसकी प्रतीक्षा की जा रही है.

Trinamool Leader Anubrata Mondal's Aide Arrested In Cattle Smuggling Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday arrested jailed Trinamool Congress (TMC) strongman Anubrata Mondal's chartered accountant Manish Kothari after his day-long questioning in connection with the West Bengal cattle smuggling case.

A close aide of Mr Mondal, Mr Kothari was arrested by the ED after his questioning at the ED headquarters here for nearly 10 hours, said sources.

Mr Kothari is expected to be produced before a special court here on Wednesday afternoon by the ED sleuths, who arrested him as they were not satisfied with the answers of the chartered accountant and found some evidence against him in the matter.

The economic intelligence agency is also learnt to have planned to question Mondal's daughter, Sukanya and 10 other people in the case in the coming days.

After arresting the Birbhum TMC president on August 12, last year, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) summoned and questioned Sukanya Mondal in its Delhi headquarters a few months ago. However, according to sources, she did not disclose much to the CBI at that time.

After the CBI, the ED arrested the TMC strongman in the cattle smuggling case. The TMC leader is facing ED probe in the alleged money laundering case related to West Bengal's cattle smuggling case.

Enamul Hoque, who is the kingpin in the cattle smuggling case and Saigal Hussain, Mondal's bodyguard, are in Tihar jail right now and the ED is planning to question them as well.

Mr Mondal was picked up by the CBI on August 12 from his Bolpur residence after the central probe agency said it had found his direct involvement in the cattle smuggling scam. The TMC leader's name came up in the cattle smuggling scam case after the CBI registered an FIR in 2020.

As per CBI investigation, over 20,000 cattle heads were seized by the Border Security Force (BSF) between 2015 and 2017 as they were being smuggled across the border.

"Remove Evils Like Caste Discrimination, Untouchability": Top RSS Leader

Claiming that many have tried to "distort" the history of India and Hindutva over the years, the RSS has resolved to speed up measures to bring a change in the narrative and restore the country's prestige.

The assertion came at the conclusion of the three-day annual meeting of the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), the highest decision-making body of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Tuesday.

"Over the past 50 years, many have tried to present our distorted history. Some people have tried to distort Indian thoughts and Indian philosophy within the country and abroad. Efforts have been made to talk nonsense about Hindutva, raising some issues," RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said at a press conference.

He accepted that there are "some drawbacks in our society like untouchability." "But just raising them doesn't help," he said, adding, "the narrative of the country must change. There should be Indian answers to Indian questions, whatever be the situation in India. We have to place India in a respectful position." Evils like caste discrimination and untouchability have to be done away with in society, he said.

Hosabale was briefing about the RSS meeting attended by nearly 1400 office bearers of the Sangh including the organisation's chief Mohan Bhagwat.

Even as the journey towards a new self-reliant 'Bharat' has begun shunning the "colonial slavery", the country will have to face many social and national challenges due to "the mentality and distortions" arising during its long history and also due to "the crookedness of selfish, anti-national elements," noted an annual report presented by Hosabale at the meeting.

"The forces inimical to Bharat's unity and progress plan newer conspiracies. They are trying to break society in one way or another or to spread confusion by disseminating perverted narratives on the subjects of the country," it claimed.

Such inimical forces are instigating language, caste or group discord by using "any situation or event" as an excuse and "inciting" youths against "any government scheme like Agnipath", the report added.

"Ugly incidents of terror, rancour, anarchy and violence have happened at various places," the report said, adding such incidents need to be stopped.

"We have to speed up the work.... we have to give national direction to ideological narratives and properly mobilise the power of Sajjan Shakti or well-meaning people," the report added.

With the RSS completing 100 years of its establishment in 2025, the ABPS also resolved to "speed up" its work to achieve the organisation's centenary year expansion targets with a focus on five main areas.

These were listed ad bringing about social transformation and social harmony in "Hindu society" or Samajik Samarasata, strengthening family structure (Parivar Prabodhan), environmental protection, Swadeshi lifestyle, awareness of civic duty," Hosabale said.

"Be it unitary or a joint family, the efforts have to be taken to keep family values intact in line with the Hindu thoughts," he added.
