BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda targets Congress' proposed Bharat Nyay Yatra, pays tribute to late Ashutosh Tandon in Lucknow.
BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda on Sunday targeted the Congress’s proposed Bharat Nyay Yatra and said those who left no stone unturned in doing injustice to the society were now thinking about holding a ‘Nyay Yatra’. He added that the Opposition Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc was aiming to bring the country down while Prime Minister Narendra Modi was taking it forward. “Those people who left no stone unturned in doing injustice to the society are imagining the Nyaya Yatra these days. Our imagination of developed India is when youth, women, poor and farmers join the pace of development, then India becomes developed,” said Mr. Nadda in Lucknow, addressing the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’. The objective of ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ was that no beneficiary was left out of the welfare schemes of the Union government.
“Under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, India is developing very fast. The welfare programmes are implemented for every section of the society whose meaningful results are being experienced by the country today. We are all committed to the upliftment of all sections of the country and to realise the resolve of making a developed India,” said the BJP president.
Mr. Nadda said the BJP would emerge victorious in all the 80 parliamentary seats of Uttar Pradesh in the Lok Sabha polls in 2024 under the leadership of Mr. Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Mr. Nadda also inaugurated the ‘Women’s Half Marathon’ organised in Lucknow, and addressed the women participants. In his one-day Lucknow tour, the BJP president visited the residence of former Minister, the late Ashutosh Tandon, met his family members and offered condolences. “Today, paid tribute to former Uttar Pradesh Minister Ashutosh Tandon ji at his residence in Lucknow and met his family members and expressed condolences. His entire life was dedicated to public service and organisation. His contribution to the development of the State is unforgettable,” said Mr. Nadda.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
