challenge it in the supreme courtaddressing a press conference after the first meeting of the national capital civil service authority nccsa the cm claimed that after suffering defeats in four elections bjp wanted to run the delhi government through deceithe alleged that the ordinance which overturned the supreme courts may 11 decision giving the elected dispensation control over services matters had placed power in the hands of the bureaucrats and the final decision on every issue now rested with the department secretary and not the ministerterming it a melodrama to project himself as a political victim delhi bjp spokesperson praveen shankar kapoor however said the nccsa was now a permanent part of the citys administrative system and kejriwal should use its meetings to develop working relations with the bureaucrats before calling the meeting the chief minister knew he was to chair the meeting where the other two members were the bureaucrats he called the meeting just to

an lpg cylinder costs rs 405 in the city if this is the subsidised price what is the market price moumita said the empowered group of ministers in a meeting in september 2011 proposed to restrict the subsidy to six 142kg bottle of lpg on grounds that each such cylinder usually lasts a household 4560 days it was proposed that a family requiring more than the quota has to pay lpg prices at market rates that would be around rs 770 a cylinder however the meeting had to be put off because of opposition from upa allies namely the trinamool congress and the dmk commuters fear the twopronged hike would pinch their pockets dear we do not have to go for a strike buses will simply go off the roads the business is no more viable because the expenditure after the five rupees hike will far exceed the income we cant run the service for even half a day if the state government doesnt allow a hike in bus fares the government cant blame the operators if the public transport collapses said tapan

allegations of a thane hospital illegally extending its power connection to a hotel a case of cheating and criminal breach of trust has been registered against the ias officer and the others on the orders of a magistrates court after hearing out a complaint filed by a thane activist vinayak more the principal charge against the msedcl officials is their alleged connivance with the proprietor of jupiter hospital which is accused of illegally extending its electricity connection to fortune park lakecity hotel without authorization or installation of new meters by the power company cops said the fir also includes the owner of the hospital and the manager of the hotel explaining the case more said the hotel did not have a separate electricity connection and would draw power from the hospital which is located in the same compound though both are purely commercial enterprises the nature of business is different the hotel was using power provided to the hospital and a payment of over rs 89 lakh was to be recovered by the msedcl for the same said more the activist claimed that he brought the issue to the notice of the local msedcl officials but they did not take any action its a clear case of misusing a public utility despite several reminders to initiate action against the hospital and stop power supply to the hotel the local officials failed to act this compelled me to take up the matter with their md ajoy mehta on august 2 2010 more said a bill of rs 894 lakh was then generated said more the dues were however never cleared as the recovery committee of the power agency ruled in favour of the hospital an msedcl spokesperson said the company did not incur any loss as claimed by the complainant members of our top committee had quashed the bill raised by our local authorities after a scrutiny of the hospital records at the time of granting power connection to the hospital the management had informed that their second building would also be a commercial venture we raised the bill in keeping their consumption on the then prevailing tariff and there is no loss of revenue for us he added officials at the hospital declined to comment saying they have not received any intimation from the police or the court in the case we will issue a statement only after verifying the complaint a spokesperson told toi it was a serious offence the msedcl was at fault as it did not register any case against the hospital for the illegal powersharing pact with the hotel also on receiving my complaint and verification of facts the power connection to the hotel should have been stopped but this too was not done so it amounted to criminal breach of trust and cheating by public servants'</li></ul> |

indian broadcasting companies to foreign satellite service providers can be taxed in india the 104 levy will affect income of over 20 foreign firms which earn fees of rs 50200 crore each by providing transponder facilities to indian broadcasters the itat bench was ruling on a plea by dutch firm new satellite and thailandbased shin satellite that they should not be made to pay tax in india because the payment they received in return for transponder services cannot be construed as royalty paymentthe it department has been treating the income earned by foreign satellite companies as royalty and therefore levied tax on the receipts the department also held the view that even under the double taxation avoidance agreement dtaa the services rendered by the satellite companies to indian broadcasters are a secret process and therefore liable to be taxedthe foreign satellite companies held the view that the amount received by them from india cannot be taxed in india because they have no material or men or machinery or a combination of them in indiatherefore it cannot be construed that the particular income the fees paid by indian broadcasters has neither arisen nor accrued in india and the government has no locus standi for taxing such receiptsthe itat aligning the facts of the case in place observed that foreign satellite companies earn their income by providing transponder facilities to indian companies they operate the satellites situated at a geostationary location 36000 kms away through the transponders installed at these satellites the satellite companies do facilitate data transmission to the telecasting companies by an agreement a fee is paid to the satellite companies by the telecasting companiesthe itat held that the scope of royalty is not restricted either by the incometax act or dtaa a simple process even if it is an intellectual property falls within the ambit of royalty telecasting companies are enabled to telecast their

| technology and computing | <ul><li>"Yahoo celebrates a decade of innovation online. Founded by Stanford students David Filo and Jerry Yang, Yahoo began as a simple way to track web-based interests. What started as 'Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web' quickly grew into one of the internet's most iconic platforms. The company adopted the name 'Yahoo' after the dictionary definition of an uncouth person, reflecting the founders' humor. Since its launch in 1994, Yahoo has undergone significant transformations, evolving from a campus project into a global tech giant. Securing early funding from Sequoia Capital, Yahoo went public in 1996 and expanded to over 7,600 employees. While facing stiff competition from Google, MSN, and AOL, Yahoo's culture of innovation remains strong. Jerry Yang, now Chief Yahoo, proudly reflects on the company’s role in shaping how consumers engage with the web. 'Through the years, we’ve aimed to build products that satisfy users’ needs, helping them explore, connect, and accomplish more in the digital world,' Yang said."</li><li>"Despite claims of improvement in government schools, a recent inspection in Ajmer revealed that technology remains underutilized. Teachers continue to prepare Class X students for board exams using outdated passbooks instead of leveraging modern teaching tools. Classwork and homework go unchecked, and absenteeism among teachers is common. An inspection team led by Zila Pramukh Vandana Nogia discovered that while the state government had provided computers to enhance learning, they were not being used. The computers, meant to help students learn technology and assist teachers in delivering interactive lessons, sat idle. The situation reflects a broader disconnect between the government's push for technological integration and the reality on the ground. The team also found issues with the midday meal program and incomplete syllabi. Vandana directed school principals to conduct extra classes and ensure that computers are put to use for both teaching and learning. This highlights the need for stricter oversight and effective implementation of technology in education."</li><li>'Mangaluru University has initiated the digitization of manual ledgers, a process aimed at converting physical records into a digital format. These ledgers contain the academic records of students who graduated during the university’s first 27 years, from its establishment in 1980. V. Ravindrachary, Registrar (Evaluation), announced that ledgers from medical, dental, engineering, and law colleges affiliated with the university are now being scanned, with images stored digitally. Mangalore University, originally part of the University of Mysore, became independent in 1980. Over the years, its affiliated colleges were gradually reassigned to specialized universities: medical and dental colleges to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), engineering colleges to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), and law colleges to Karnataka State Law University (KSLU). Despite this, Mangalore University retains the responsibility of digitizing records for graduates in these disciplines. The scanning of engineering student records is nearly complete, allowing for faster verification of academic marks for prospective employers and other agencies.The digitized system will streamline the verification process, enabling quick searches using keywords such as student name, course, registration number, and college name. The university has partnered with Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd. for the digitization process, and post-2008 evaluation records are already digitized. According to Registrar (Administration) A. M. Khan, the next phase will focus on personal details of students from 1980 to 2007. These records will be shared on the National Academic Depository (NAD) platform, in collaboration with the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL), providing students with online access to their academic credentials.'</li></ul> |
