Hungary passes tight asylum law
Hungary’s parliament on Monday passed legislation that tightens asylum rules and allows the erection of a fence along the country’s border with Serbia. Under the new legislation, Budapest will be able to speed up the screening of asylum claims and expel asylum-seekers to third countries. The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has earlier criticized Budapest’s decision, saying it is “deeply concerned” about these amendments. In June, Hungary’s Interior Ministry said the country has received 53,300 asylum requests in 2015, compared with 42,700 in all of 2014. Around 80 percent of asylum-seekers come from conflict zones such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, according to the UNHCR.
Shivraj Singh CM MP settles for CBI Enquiry at last in Press Conference
After calls for CBI probe in the multi-crore Vyapam scam and his resignation for a fair enquiry, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan called for a press conference in Bhopal.
Here are the highlights from his address:
High Court is monitoring the SIT probing the scam.
I have complete faith in the Supreme Court, High Court and the system.
We also lost our journalist friend.
Since then, it is being asked why the enquiry is not being done by the Supreme Court.
I have said this before, I can’t order a CBI enquiry directly.
Government should be above suspicion. We need to answer if any questions are raised.
I request High Court to handover the probe to CBI.
If any questions are raised, they will be answered.
I was up all night and have thought about it. I have decided that CBI should enquire the issue.
With a CBI probe, everything will be crystal clear in the case.
I have deep respect for Uma Bharti. Whatever she may have said. Uma Ji is a senior leader, a union minister and like my sister.
Now I am sending a letter to the High Court requesting them to order a CBI probe. Courtesy NDTV

MDG success springboard for new sustainable development agenda: UN report
New York, 6 July 2015—The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have produced the most successful anti-poverty movement in history and will serve as the jumping-off point for the new sustainable development agenda to be adopted this year, according to the final MDG report launched today by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The Millennium Development Goals Report 2015 found that the 15-year effort to achieve the eight aspirational goals set out in the Millennium Declaration in 2000 was largely successful across the globe, while acknowledging shortfalls that remain. The data and analysis presented in the report show that with targeted interventions, sound strategies, adequate resources and political will, even the poorest can make progress. “Following profound and consistent gains, we now know that extreme poverty can be eradicated within one more generation”, said Ban Ki-moon. “The MDGs have greatly contributed to this progress and have taught us how governments, business and civil society can work together to achieve transformational breakthroughs”. Goals and targets work The MDG report confirms that goal-setting can lift millions of people out of poverty, empower women and girls, improve health and well-being, and provide vast new opportunities for better lives. Only two short decades ago, nearly half of the developing world lived in extreme poverty. The number of people now living in extreme poverty has declined by more than half, falling from 1.9 billion in 1990 to 836 million in 2015. The world has also witnessed dramatic improvement in gender equality in schooling since the MDGs, and gender parity in primary school has been achieved in the majority of countries. More girls are now in school, and women have gained ground in parliamentary representation over the past 20 years in nearly 90 per cent of the 174 countries with data. The average proportion of women in parliament has nearly doubled during the same period. The rate of children dying before their fifth birthday has declined by more than half, dropping from 90 to 43 deaths per 1,000 live births since 1990. Figures for maternal mortality show a decline of 45 per cent worldwide, with most of the reduction occurring since 2000. Targeted investments in fighting diseases, such as HIV/AIDs and malaria, have brought unprecedented results. Over 6.2 million malaria deaths were averted between 2000 and 2015, while tuberculosis prevention, diagnosis and treatment interventions saved an estimated 37 million lives between 2000 and 2013. Worldwide, 2.1 billion have gained access to improved sanitation and the proportion of people practicing open defecation has fallen almost by half since 1990. Official development assistance from developed countries saw an increase of 66 per cent in real terms from 2000 and 2014, reaching $135.2 billion. Inequalities persist The report highlighted that significant gains have been made for many of the MDG targets worldwide, but progress has been uneven across regions and countries, leaving significant gaps. Conflicts remain the biggest threat to human development, with fragile and conflict-affected countries typically experiencing the highest poverty rates. The Millennium Development Goals Report 2015 Embargoed until 6 July, 10:15 am EDT (GMT-4) asdf United Nations Issued by the UN Department of Public Information—DPI/2594 E Gender inequality persists in spite of more representation of women in parliament and more girls going to school. Women continue to face discrimination in access to work, economic assets and participation in private and public decision-making. Despite enormous progress driven by the MDGs, about 800 million people still live in extreme poverty and suffer from hunger. Children from the poorest 20 per cent of households are more than twice as likely to be stunted as those from the wealthiest 20 per cent and are also four times as likely to be out of school. In countries affected by conflict, the proportion of out-of-school children increased from 30 per cent in 1999 to 36 per cent in 2012. In the context of the environment, global emissions of carbon dioxide have increased over 50 per cent since 1990 and water scarcity now affects 40 per cent of people in the world and is projected to increase. New sustainable development agenda World leaders have called for an ambitious long-term sustainability agenda to succeed the MDGs. Building on the success and momentum of the MDGs, new global goals will break fresh ground with ambition on inequalities, economic growth, decent jobs, cities and human settlements, industrialization, energy, climate change, sustainable consumption and production, peace and justice. “The emerging post-2015 development agenda, including the set of Sustainable Development Goals, strives to build on our successes and put all countries, together, firmly on track towards a more prosperous, sustainable and equitable world”, concluded Ban Ki-moon. Background The Millennium Development Goals Report, an annual assessment of global and regional progress towards the Goals, reflects the most comprehensive, up-to-date data compiled by over 28 UN and international agencies. It is produced by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. A complete set of the data used to prepare the report is available at mdgs.un.org.

‘The Suffocating Embrace?:
The state in independent India’
by
Prof. Devesh Kapur,
University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, USA.
Abstract:
While the State in post-independence India has been seen as a key instrument for socio-economic transformation, expectations have been belied more than met. The talk examines why the Indian State is relatively successful in some complex tasks while much less so in seemingly simpler tasks. By focusing on core functions of the modern State – public order, regulation, public goods and the State’s role in the international system – the speaker argues that the Indian State’s weaknesses are rooted in factors that are largely internal to India. A political economy consumed with social representation in State organs, a severe imbalance between goals and capabilities, and political and cognitive centralization have led to a neglect of intra-organizational issues that are critical to successful implementation. A growing mismatch between the capacity of the Indian State and the emerging challenges facing the country, pose the biggest threat to India’s future.
Speaker:
Prof. Devesh Kapur is Madan Lal Sobti Professor of Contemporary India and Director, Center for Advanced Study of India at the University of Pennsylvania, USA.

| ABOUT THE EVENT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Today, India is going through a sea change in its governance. The domestic, foreign and economic policy, politics and civil rights are currently in a phase of transition. The paradigm shift in policies and administration has been set off by the Narendra Modi led BJP Government, after receiving a huge mandate in the 2014 general election. While the economy is showing signs of revival, spurred by the new foreign policy and encouragement of businesses, the domestic policy is being criticised on grounds of majoritarianism and communalism. The present policies, therefore, pose a larger question. Is the Government short-sighted in its approach and are we compromising on the bigger constitutional goals in implementing these policies? Is it a case of social inclusion being neglected and a narrow idea of development being prioritized? Are we chasing some delusional indices such as the Growth Rate and the GDP?Dr Shashi Tharoor, one of the most acclaimed and insightful writers would be in conversation with Mr. James Crabtree and Ms. Manjeet Kripalani to unmask the complex issues of the current Indian society. India Shastra is an attempt to chronicle the present day India for the future generations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The enumeration work in the Chitmahal enclaves of India and Bangladesh has started from today.
This is a momentous day for my brothers and sisters of Chitmahal on both sides of the border. Because at the end of this process, they will realize their long-cherished dream of citizenship.
During this period of Ramzan, I convey ‘Mubarak’ and ‘শুভকামনা’ to the people of Bangladesh and India.

उमा भारती
केंद्रीय मंत्री उमा भारती ने व्यापम घोटाले पर संकेतों में शिवराज सरकार के लिए प्रतिकूल बयान दिया है. ‘आज तक’ से खास बातचीत में उन्होंने कहा कि एसटीएफ को जांच सौंपे जाने में खिलवाड़ का अंदेशा जताया और मध्य प्रदेश में उनके लोगों को भी खतरा बताया.मोदी सरकार में जल संसाधन और गंगा सफाई मंत्री उमा ने कहा, ‘मध्यप्रदेश में मेरे लोगों को भी खतरा है. उन्होंने शिवराज सिंह से निष्पक्ष जांच की मांग की. उन्होंने कहा कि मैंने पहले ही सीबीआई जांच के लिए कहा था. उमा ने एक तरफ कहा कि वह शिवराज सिंह के साथ हैं और दूसरी तरफ शिवराज की जांच की मांग भी संकेतों में कर दी.Aaj Tak
