केंद्र सरकार का लक्ष्य भारत को Manufacturing और Services के लिए आकर्षक गंतव्य बनाना : निर्मला सीतारमण

केंद्रीय वित्त मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण ने शनिवार को कहा कि केंद्र ने भारत को विनिर्माण (Manufacturing) और सेवाओं (Services) के लिए एक आकर्षक गंतव्य बनाने के लिए नीतियां तैयार की हैं. उन्होंने आगे जोड़ा कि न केवल घरेलू बाजार के लिए बल्कि निर्यात के लिए भी उत्पादन करने पर सरकार का जोर है. वह अमेरिकी उद्योगपति एलन मस्क के प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के साथ अपनी बैठक स्थगित करने पर एक सवाल का जवाब दे रही थीं.

केंद्रीय वित्त मंत्री ने संवाददाताओं से कहा, ''निवेश आकर्षित करने के लिए नीतियां बनाई गईं हैं. हम चाहते हैं कि विनिर्माता और निवेशक न केवल भारत के लिए, बल्कि यहां से निर्यात करने के लिए भी आएं और उत्पादन करें. हम नीतियों के माध्यम से विनिर्माताओं और निवेशकों को आकर्षित करने का प्रयास करेंगे.''

टेस्ला के सीईओ मस्क ने शनिवार को कहा कि कंपनी के भारी दायित्वों के कारण उनकी भारत यात्रा में देरी हो रही है.

सीतारमण ने कहा, ''जब बड़ी कंपनियां भारत आने में रुचि दिखाती हैं, तो हम उनके लिए यहां आने और निवेश को आकर्षक बनाने के लिए सब कुछ करेंगे. उस प्रक्रिया में, अगर चर्चा करने के लिए कुछ भी होगा, तो हम निश्चित रूप से चर्चा करेंगे. हमने जो भी किया है, नीति के जरिए किया है.''

निर्मला सीतारमण ने कहा कि नीतियों को इस तरह से तैयार किया गया है ताकि भारत को विनिर्माण और सेवाओं के लिए एक आकर्षक गंतव्य बनाया जा सके. वित्त मंत्री ने मुद्रास्फीति के बारे में बोलते हुए कहा कि मोदी सरकार के एक महीने को छोड़कर, यह कभी भी सहनशील सीमा को पार नहीं कर पाई. उन्होंने आगे जोड़ा कि 2014 से पहले अर्थव्यवस्था खराब स्थिति में थी और मुद्रास्फीति दोहरे अंकों में थी.

सीतारमण ने कहा, ''उस समय (2014 से पहले) किसी को भी देश से कोई उम्मीद नहीं थी. बहुत कड़ी मेहनत के बाद, हम दुनिया की पांचवीं सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था बनकर उभरे हैं और आत्मविश्वास से कह रहे हैं कि अगले दो से ढाई साल में हम तीसरे स्थान पर होंगे.'' रोजगार के बारे में उन्होंने कहा कि औपचारिक और अनौपचारिक दोनों क्षेत्रों के आंकड़ों में कमी है, लेकिन केंद्र की पहल से लाखों लोगों को रोजगार मिला है.

Personal Data Absolutely Safe, Info Stored Only In User's Phone: Digi Yatra

Digi Yatra does not store the personally identifiable information of passengers and the personal data of the Indian users are safe and secure, the Digi Yatra Foundation said on Friday amid persisting concerns over the privacy of user data.

"Digi Yatra technology infrastructure is being scaled up with an intention to expand coverage from 15 airports to 28 airports by the end of April 2024," the foundation said in a detailed statement.

Based on Facial Recognition Technology (FRT), Digi Yatra provides for contactless, seamless movement of passengers at various checkpoints at airports.

We value your feedback and we are pleased to announce that Digi Yatra is expanding to 28 airports across India!

Experience smoother travel as we enhance our infrastructure to make your journey a memorable one.

Here's all you need to know about your data privacy and security… pic.twitter.com/9tagakvhm4

Emphasising that Digi Yatra is built on the concept of Self Sovereign Identity, the foundation said the Digi Yatra Central Ecosystem (DYCE) never stores any of the ID credentials data, which has Personally Identifiable Information (PIl) anywhere in any central repository.

"The Digi Yatra blockchain only has Hash/Key values to check the Integrity of the data," the foundation, which is the nodal agency for the app, said.

Earlier this week, there were reports raising concerns about the privacy of data shared with Digi Yatra in connection with a former vendor Dataevolve, which has come under investigation.

The foundation's CEO Suresh Khadakbhavi said Dataevolve has been completely removed from the Digi Yatra ecosystem.

While noting that the personal data of 3.3 million Indian users and the Digi Yatra app are absolutely safe, the statement said the foundation or any service provider cannot access user data since all the PIl is only stored on the user's mobile device in the Digi Yatra app, accessible only to the user.

The old data would remain on the user's mobile device, and once the app is uninstalled or deleted, the credentials data and the travel history also get deleted by default, it added.

Explaining the process, the foundation said that when the user shares the ID credentials and the boarding pass to the origin airport (verifier) and travels through the airport, the data received by the airport is purged/ deleted from airport systems within 24 hours of flight departure.

Digi Yatra has the mandatory CERT-In audit certificate, which is required for the DYCE backbone, mobile apps, and airport verifiers as per the civil aviation ministry policies.

According to the foundation, the latest audit was conducted in January, which clearly reconfirmed that Digi Yatra does not store PIl.

Due to the efforts of our Yogi ji, the BJP government has given the GI tag to Amroha's dholak and given it an identity in the entire world," PM Modi said.

Voting in the second phase will take place on April 26 and it will cover eight parliamentary constituencies of Amroha, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Gautambuddh Nagar, Bulandshahr (SC), Aligarh and Mathura.

In Amroha, the main electoral contest is between Kanwar Singh Tanwar of the BJP and Kunwar Danish Ali of the Congress. BSP's Mujahid Husain is also in the poll fray. There are a total of 12 candidates contesting from Amroha.

Sharing details, police said that the accused had booked a cab in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi from Galaxy Apartment, the house of actor Salman Khan, to the Bandra Police Station.

The accused, identified as Vicky Gupta (24) and Sagar Pal (21) from Bihar, were presented before the court after a medical examination.

The two men, who came on a motorbike, fired four rounds outside the Galaxy Apartments, where the actor resides, around 5 am on Sunday morning and fled.CCTV footage showed that both accused sported caps and carried backpacks.

The clip also showed them firing in the direction of the actor's home.

After the arrest of the accused, Kutch DSP AR Zankant said preliminary investigations revealed that the accused were in contact with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Notably, since November 2022, Salman Khan's security level has been elevated to Y-Plus after threats from gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar.

The actor was also authorised to carry a personal firearm and has also acquired a new armoured vehicle for added protection.

On Monday, Salman's brother Arbaaz Khan issued a statement on the family's behalf, saying they all have been affected due to the 'disturbing' firing incident.

He also shared that the family was fully cooperating with the Mumbai Police in the ongoing probe into the incident.

दिल्ली में मेडिकल सेवाओं में सुधार के लिए अदालत ने समिति के सुझावों को लागू करने का निर्देश दिया

दिल्ली उच्च न्यायालय ने मुख्य सचिव और प्रधान स्वास्थ्य सचिव को राष्ट्रीय राजधानी में चिकित्सा सेवाओं में सुधार के लिए छह-सदस्यीय विशेषज्ञ समिति द्वारा अनुशंसित ‘‘तत्काल उपायों'' को 30 दिन के भीतर लागू करने का निर्देश दिया है. अदालत ने कहा कि चूंकि डॉ. एस. के. सरीन समिति की तत्काल सिफारिशें मानव जीवन को बचाने में काफी मददगार होंगी और किसी भी तरह से ‘‘राजनीतिक प्रकृति की नहीं'' हैं, इसलिए लोकसभा चुनाव के लिए आदर्श आचार संहिता बाधा नहीं बनेगी.

कार्यवाहक मुख्य न्यायाधीश मनमोहन और न्यायमूर्ति मनमीत पी. एस. अरोड़ा की पीठ ने मंगलवार को 17 पन्नों के आदेश में कहा, ‘‘मुख्य सचिव और प्रधान स्वास्थ्य सचिव एक रोडमैप भी बताएंगे कि वे विशेषज्ञ समिति द्वारा बताई गई समय सीमा के भीतर मध्यवर्ती और दीर्घकालिक उपायों को कैसे लागू करना चाहते हैं.'' अदालत ने प्रधान स्वास्थ्य सचिव को चार सप्ताह के भीतर कार्रवाई-सह-स्थिति रिपोर्ट दाखिल करने को कहा.

उच्च न्यायालय के 13 फरवरी के आदेश के अनुपालन में अदालत द्वारा गठित डॉ. सरीन समिति ने अपनी अंतरिम रिपोर्ट और सिफारिशें प्रस्तुत कीं. अदालत का आदेश सरकारी अस्पतालों में गहन चिकित्सा कक्ष (आईसीयू) में बिस्तर और वेंटिलेटर की कथित कमी को लेकर 2017 में संज्ञान ली गई एक जनहित याचिका पर आया.

समिति ने रिक्त पद, महत्वपूर्ण संकाय की कमी, बुनियादी ढांचे, चिकित्सा या सर्जिकल सामग्रियों, आपातकालीन ऑपरेशन थिएटर, ट्रॉमा सेवाएं और रेफरल प्रणाली समेत चिकित्सा प्रणाली में कुछ कमियों की ओर इशारा किया. रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि समिति ने उच्च न्यायालय के पूर्व के आदेश पर गौर किया और सराहना की कि इस मामले में उठाई गई प्रमुख चिंताएं दिल्ली के नागरिकों के लिए आपातकालीन स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं के संबंध में हैं.

समिति ने सिफारिश की है कि तत्काल उपाय 30 दिन के भीतर, अल्पकालिक उपाय 31 से 90 दिन में, मध्यवर्ती उपाय 91 से 365 दिन में और दीर्घकालिक उपाय एक से दो साल में लागू किए जाएं. अदालत ने समिति को चार सप्ताह के भीतर एक पूरक रिपोर्ट दाखिल करने की स्वतंत्रता दी और रजिस्ट्री से आदेश की एक प्रति निर्वाचन आयोग को जानकारी के लिए भेजने को कहा. अदालत ने इस मामले को 24 मई को आगे की सुनवाई के लिए सूचीबद्ध किया है.
