competition success review Published this article page no 145 Lack of transparency in the consultation and drafting process The process of consultation has not been transparent.Perverse revenue objective The Preamble of the policy states that Indias ambition of becoming a 5 trilliondollar digital economy depends on its ability to harness the value of data. With this it appears that revenue generation through sale of citizen data emerges is the primary objective of the Policy.Harmful effects on informational privacy of citizens In the absence of a personal data protection law the envisaged interdepartmental sharing of data across the government departments may lead to a massive violation of the privacy of citizens.Lack of clear & concise definitions for key concepts New concepts introduced by the Policy have been defined in a vague and ambiguous manner which opens them up to misinterpretation. ○ For example the Policy creates a separate category of HighValue Data Sets which it deems essential for governance and innovation access to which will be accelerated. However nowhere in the Background Note or the Policy has the category been concisely defined. Insta Curious Did you know that the genesis of this Bill lies in the report prepared by a Committee of Experts headed by Justice B.N. Srikrishna? Read this.

Temporary Suspension of Telecom Services (Public Emergency or Public Service) Rules 2017 (Suspension Rules) These Rules were framed by ministry of communications and derive their powers from Section 5(2) of the Indian Telegraph Act which talks about interception of messages in the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India. It empowers the government to block transmission of messages in case of a public emergency or for public safety in any part of the country. Any order suspending internet under the Rules can be only for a temporary duration and not for an indefinite period. Directions to suspend the telecom services shall not be issued except by Home Secretary of the country and a secretary of a states home department and that order should be taken up by a review committee within five days. On Section 144 of CrPC The power under Section 144 cannot be used to suppress legitimate expression of opinion or grievance or exercise of any democratic rights When Sec 144 is imposed for reasons of apprehended danger that danger must be an emergency. The imposition of Sec 144 must strike a balance between the rights of the individual and the concerns of the state. Powers under Sec 144 should be exercised in a reasonable and bona fide manner and the order must state material facts in order to enable judicial review.

civil services chronicle Published this article page no 26 Lack of vernacular content Most of the content and existing lectures on internet are in English. In India the Ministry of HRD data shows that there are only 17% English medium schools. Creating new inequality Only a handful of private schools universities and IITs could adopt online teaching methods. Their lowincome private and government counterparts on the other hand have completely shut down for not having access to elearning solutions. Difficulties for teachers o Without adequate training many teachers are not comfortable with using technology. o Also with reduced interaction it is difficult for teachers to develop a rapport with the children for effective teaching. o Teachers are also under tremendous pressure due to interference by overenthusiastic parents. Lack of institutions autonomy Existing rules have constrained Indian education institutions to take advantage. Till now the UGC has licensed only seven universities to offer online courses. Conducting largescale highstakes examinations will be more complicated. Most board and entrance examinations have been either postponed or suspended causing disruptions in the academic calendar. Way forward A multipronged strategy is necessary to manage the crisis in the short term and build a resilient Indian education system in the long term. Immediateshort term measures Ensuring continuity of learning in government schools and universities. Opensource digital learning solutions and Learning Management Software should be adopted so teachers can conduct teaching online. The DIKSHA platform with reach across all states in India can be further strengthened to ensure accessibility of learning to the students civil services chronicle buy.

drishti ias current affairs magazines Published this article page no 68 Indian researchers have developed a simple technique of separating the constant background of the Solar Corona and revealing the dynamic corona. The technique has been developed jointly by the Aryabhatta Research Institute and the Indian Institute of Astrophysics. What is the technique? (NOT MUCH RELEVANT FROM THE EXAMINATION POINT OF VIEW). The simple approach of subtracting the constant background can improve efficiency of identification of Coronal Mass Ejections (CME). What are Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)? Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the Suns corona. They can eject billions of tonnes of coronal material and carry an embedded magnetic field (frozen in flux) that is stronger than the background solar wind interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strength. Speed CMEs travel outward from the Sun at speeds ranging from slower than 250 km per second (kms) to as fast as near 3000 kms. The fastest Earthdirected CMEs can reach our planet in as little as 1518 hours. Slower CMEs can take several days to arrive. They expand in size as they propagate away from the Sun and larger CMEs can reach a size comprising nearly a quarter of the space between Earth and the Sun by the time it reaches our planet. Impacts They cause radio and magnetic disturbances on the Earth. They can drive the Space Weather in nearEarth space drishti ias current affairs magazines buy.
