Trust deficit between farm Unions once again comes to fore during Rail Roko stir!

by Leave a Comment

Sharp differences among farmer union leaders resurfaced during ‘rail roko’ in Punjab. Lack of unity blamed as trust deficit widens. Leaders clash publicly.

farm Unions

Bathinda Sharp differences among the farmer union leaders cropped up once again even as they worked together to make ‘rail roko’ a success across the state on Sunday.

Leaders of five constituents of SKM and SKM (non-political) disrupted trains separately as a part of their agitation from 12 pm-4 pm, but the trust deficit among the farm bodies once again came to the fore as both groups blamed each other for lack of unity as was witnessed during the stir against now repealed three farm laws.

The stir had a wide-ranging impact with the schedule of trains affected in different parts of the state but in public addresses leaders from both the constituents, SKM and SKM (non-political), didn’t hold back in throwing punches at each other.

In their public addresses, leaders of Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of several unions across the country, hit out at the ‘SKM (non-political), currently spearheading agitation at Shambhu and Khanauri borders, indicating that there was no scope for joining hands with them to fight for farmers’ demands.

Leaders of Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) said five unions who have come out in support of rail roko are getting no response from SKM (non-political) leaders Jagjit Singh Dallewal and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha chief Sarwan Singh Pandher.

BKU Ugrahan faction general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan said four other unions namely the Dhaner faction of BKU (Dakaunda), Krantikari Kisan Union, BKU (Malwa- Heerke) and BKU (Doaba-Sangha) jointly blocked railway lines in 10 districts for four hours but are in no way joining the stir at the Haryana borders till their leaders come on a common platform.

Dallewal, while addressing a gathering of protesters at Multania bridge in Bathinda city didn’t hold back and blamed the leaders of other farmer unions (SKM) for not taking up the demand of a legal guaranteed purchase of all crops at MSP (minimum support price).

“During the agitation of 2020-21, the unions fought against three farm laws but the issue of assured purchase of crops on MSP was surprisingly put on the backburner. The SKM (non-political) was forced to re-launch the agitation last month as the farmers were not getting MSP for their produce. The fight will continue as we have overwhelming support from different states,” Dallewal said.

SKM, a front led mainly by the left-leaning leaders said it’s working hard to bring all unions on a common platform but isn’t getting any response from Dallewal and Pandher.

Joginder Singh Ugrahan, president, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan), while addressing a protest at Sangrur Railway Station, said that they have not joined the Rail Roko because of Pandher and Dallewal.

“We are protesting for farmers of Punjab. It is to them that we are answerable. Even if Dallewal and Pandher don’t want to talk to us, we will continue to protest even if we haven’t given any call,” Ugrahan said.

State vice president of BKU Ugrahan, Jhanda Singh Jethuke said it seems the Dallewal is adamant against unity.

“Dallewal’s letter to our initiative to bury the differences was received yesterday. Content of the letter hinted at his refusal to join hands while Pandher also seems non-committal on coordination plan for protests,” Jethuke said it at a protest rally on the railway lines in Bathinda.

He said the SKM (non-political) and KMM did not respond to the key suggestion oftargeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to press theCentre government to meet various demands including MSP for all crops based on the Swaminathan formula of C2+50 (input cost of capital+50%), legal guarantee of procurement, debt waiver, no hike in electricity tariff and no smart metres.

“It is surprising that SKM (non-political) and KMM are no longer raising demand to book Haryana chief minister, home minister and state DGP for the death of Shub Karan Singh in police action at Khanauri border. At the bhog ceremony of Shubh Karan on March 3, Dallewal and KMM did not allow senior SKM leaders to address the gathering and it gave a hint to their stance on unity,” Jethuke added.

He added that the SKM has not contacted Dallewal and Pandher to join the protest in Delhi on March 14.

“After February 13, both leaders again gave a call of ‘Delhi Chalo’ for March 6 while ignoring SKM’s already announced protest in the national capital on Thursday. SKM is still trying to take them all along but various developments show their lack of interest.

Dwarka Expressway inauguration: Traffic advisory said the public should use the route from Dwarka Clover Leaf to IMT only when necessary until 4 pm.

PM Modi to Inaugurate Dwarka Expressway

The Gurugram Traffic Police issued a traffic advisory detailing the restrictions, diversions, closures, and road blockages ahead of the inauguration of the Dwarka Expressway by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday.

The advisory asked commuters using this route to follow the traffic restrictions when scheduling their journey within specified timeframes.

There will be a rush of vehicles coming for the rally near Antriksh Chowk on Monday (Monday), March 11, 2024,” a rough translation of the advisory issued on Sunday in Hindi said.

Dwarka Expressway: Traffic restrictions, diversions

  • The advisory said the public should use the route from Dwarka Clover Leaf to IMT only when it is absolutely necessary until 4 pm.
  • Antriksh Chowk Road will temporarily diverge during the event due to the rally crowd. However, it will be closed as well.

  • Vehicles arriving at the rally from Rewari, Narnaul, and Dharuhera will be directed to turn left from Rampura Chowk and proceed to the rally via Vatika Chowk. Meanwhile, vehicles approaching from Faridabad, Palwal, and Sohna will take the clover leaf routes.
  • Route plans for vehicles heading to the rally differ based on their origin. Those coming from Pataudi and Ghariharsaru will be directed to the rally venue parking via Dwarka Express, while those from Pataudi and Ghariharsaru will use the Sati Chowk route.

Things to know about Dwarka Expressway

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Haryana segment of the Dwarka Expressway, which aims to enhance traffic flow and alleviate congestion between Delhi and Gurugram on National Highway 48, an official statement said.
  • He is also set to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for 112 national highway projects valued at ₹1 lakh crore nationwide, during an event in Gurugram on Monday.
  • The Haryana stretch of the Dwarka Expressway spans 19 km and has been constructed at an approximate cost of ₹4,100 crore. It encompasses two sections: the 10.2-kilometre Delhi-Haryana Border to Basai Rail-over-Bridge (ROB) and the 8.7-kilometre Basai ROB to Kherki Daula.
  • This infrastructure project will establish direct connectivity to the IGI Airport in Delhi and the Gurugram Bypass, further enhancing regional transportation links.

Indian Street Premier League: Rules and Format: Toss to Powerplay!

by Leave a Comment

The main regulations that differ from regular cricket are the 50-over, street nine runs, and tape-ball overs, in addition to a special format of playing 11

Following comedian Munawwar Farooqi, who gained notoriety from Big Boss, taking out cricket superstar Sachin Tendulkar during the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) T10, the league has gained immense popularity on the internet, particularly on social media platforms with short videos. However, that was only the first game on March 6, 2024.
The official tournament matches started the day following the celebrity-and former player-led unofficial game. The game’s regulations and the fact that street cricket is being played in a stadium have astounded and startled many.

Here are the major rules and format of the ISPL T10

Format

First of all the format- It is a 10-over-a-side Tennis ball cricket. However, there is provision for two overs of Tape Ball as well. We will discuss that later on. 

Tip-Toe Toss

As the name suggests, the toss does not involve a coin, but rather the children’s game of tip-toe in which the two captains will tip-toe from a certain distance and whoever stamps on the tip of the toes of the other will win the toss and decides whether to bat or bowl.

Three overs of powerplay

In the 10-over game, there are not two but three overs of powerplay, In the first two overs, the number of players outside the 30-yard circle would be two. The third over of powerplay can be taken by the batting team at any moment they feel like, between overs three and nine. During the third over of the powerplay, three players can be allowed outside the 30-yard circle. 

9 Street Runs

While in a normal cricket match, no matter how far the batter hits it outside the boundary the total number of runs remains six, but in an ISPL T10, if a better can hit the ball in the stands, it would account for nine runs instead of just six. 

50-50 Over

Fifty is most probably the most unique feature of T10 where you are betting on your skills to give you one and a half times more than you score or lose half of what you have scored. So a batting team can take the 50-50 anytime they wish, however, the bowling team cannot ask for the Tape-ball over to be bowled during 50-50. 

So in the 50-50 over the batting team will set a challenge of X number of runs and choose the bowler they want to bat against. Once that is done, if they score more than X, they will get X plus fifty per cent of X. So if the team had propped to get 16 runs and they got 18, they would get 18 plus fifty per cent of 16 which is eight. The total of that over would become 26 runs.  

But if the team fails to get 16, and scores only 12 runs, then they would lose six runs from the 12 and the over would become a six-run over instead. 

Tape-Ball Over

Popular in Pakistan street cricket, a Tape ball is nothing but a hard tennis ball taped entirely to make it swing a bit more than the usual tennis ball does. However, in ISPL T10, the tape-ball would not be hard tennis but usual tennis, with which the entire tournament is being played. 

Playing XI and Substitutions 

In the unique playing 11 rule, the team is given two substitutions in case of an injury. Also in the playing 11, a player each from the five zones of Indian cricket- North, South, East West and Central would have to be picked in the playing 11 alongside an Under-19 player from the pool of 16 players bought by each team in the auction.

BJP’s ‘Minority’ jibe amid Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha re-election bid from Wayanad!

by Leave a Comment

There is speculation that Rahul Gandhi may also fight from Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday reacted to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s decision to re-contest from Kerala’s Wayanad in the coming Lok Sabha elections.

Former union minister and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad questioned why Gandhi was not contesting elections from Amethi.

He also alleged that Gandhi is contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Wayanad due to the Congres party’s dependence on minority politics.

“He (Rahul Gandhi) claims that the entire nation is in Congress’ favour then why he is not contesting elections from Amethi?” Prasad was quoted as saying by ANI. “He went to Wayanad because the minorities are in the majority there. Congress’ whole politics is dependent on minorities.”

Rahul Gandhi is set to contest from Kerala’s Wayanad seat again in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the party’s central election committee (CEC) decided on Thursday evening, people aware of developments said.

There is speculation that Gandhi may also fight from Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi, a seat he won in 2004, 2009 and 2014 before losing in 2019, said the people cited above, though seats from the state were not discussed in Thursday’s meeting.

Congress CEC meeting


Besides Rahul Gandhi, the names of about 50 candidates were cleared by the Congress CEC in its first meeting on Thursday to finalise names for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s name was cleared from Thiruvananthapuram. Former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, and former deputy CM of Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot, were asked to contest the polls. Both of them were present at the CEC meeting. Jyotsna Mahant’s name was cleared from Chhattisgarh.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chief Sonia Gandhi, general secretary KC Venugopal attended the meeting while Rahul Gandhi joined the meeting via Zoom.

After the CEC meeting, Sachin Pilot said a detailed discussion was held over each seat and the decision will be announced soon. “Whichever person is in the position to win will be asked to contest,” Sachin Pilot said.

Nishant Dev won by an unanimous 5-0 margin to advance to the pre-quarterfinals.

Nishant Dev

World Championships bronze-medallist Nishant Dev out-punched Georgia’s Madiev Eskerkhan to enter the men’s 71kg category pre-quarterfinals of the first World Olympic Boxing Qualifiers. The Indian won by a unanimous 5-0 margin on Thursday night.

Tokyo Olympics quarterfinalist Eskerkhan looked clueless against the Indian’s attack. He tried his best to recover in the second round but Nishant denied him any chance of a comeback. Nishant will play his Round of 16 bout on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the youth world champion Ankushita Boro (66kg) and national champion Sanjeet (92kg) suffered contrasting defeats in the opening round. While Ankushita went down fighting 2-3 against Sonvico Emilie of France, Sanjeet lost 0-5 to Aibek Oralbay of Kazakhstan, continuing what has overall been a poor outing for the country’s boxers.

This tournament, featuring over 590 boxers, offers a total of 49 quotas, including 28 for men and 21 for women for the 2024 Paris Olympics. India have already secured four quotas for Paris with Nikhat Zareen (50kg), Preeti (54kg), Parveen Hooda (57kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) confirming their berths at the Asian Games. The second World Qualification Tournament will be held in Bangkok from May 23 to June 3.

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati played an important role in Sam Altman’s firing from the company

by Leave a Comment

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, faced a sudden exit from the company amid doubts over his leadership abilities. As per reports, Mira Murati had a role to play in his ouster.

Sam Altman

In Short

  • Sam Altman was fired as CEO of OpenAI three months ago.
  • Reports say that Mira Murati had a key role to play in his ouster.
  • Murati had stepped in as interim CEO after Altman’s exit.

Sam Altman’s sudden ouster from OpenAI made many headlines over three months ago. The OpenAI CEO was suddenly fired from the company and nobody seemed to know why. OpenAI had issued a statement after Altman’s ouster, saying that they no longer had faith in his ability to lead the company. Altman was resinstated as the CEO after five days after the incident. A lot had happened during this time, including company’s employees threatening to quit and join Microsoft if Altman wasn’t back. After returning as the company’s CEO, Altman fired all previous board members to form a new board.

However, questions about his exit remained. A report by The New York Times now states that an upcoming report from an external law firm might reveal more details about the decision and the chaotic five days before Altman’s return. And ahead of the report by the law firm, a new detail about the whole scenario has surfaced. As per The New York Times, OpenAI’s CTO Mira Murati played a key role in Altman’s ouster. To recall, when Altman was ousted from the company, Murati had stepped in as the interim CEO as well.

The New York Times report states that Murati wrote a private memo to Altman questioning his management and shared concerns with the board. This contributed to the decision to remove Altman, as per insiders.

Around the same time, Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s co-founder and chief scientist, expressed similar worries, citing what he characterised as Altman’s history of manipulative behaviour. Both executives described a turbulent relationship with Altman. While it remains uncertain whether they provided concrete examples, they conveyed that Altman occasionally fostered a toxic work environment by excluding executives who didn’t align with his decisions.

Ms. Murati’s discussions with the board give us a peek into challenges within OpenAI’s top management, even though both leaders publicly supported Mr. Altman’s comeback to the company.

The law firm WilmerHale, conducting the investigation, is expected to conclude its investigations soon, and a new board of directors of the firm may be announced simultaneously. After Mr. Altman came back to the company in November, several directors had left the board.

Hannah Wong, OpenAI’s spokesperson, said that the company’s senior leadership team which was led by Murati during her time as interim chief executive, had requested Altman’s return. This sentiment was echoed in an open letter signed by 95 percent of OpenAI’s employees. Wong said as per New York Times, “The strong support from his team underscores that he is an effective CEO who is open to different points of view, willing to solve complex challenges, and who demonstrates care for his team. We look forward to findings from the independent review versus unsubstantiated claims.”

Altman declined to comment, and Sutskever’s lawyer refuted claims that he approached the board. Murati did not respond to requests for comment but later shared in a message to OpenAI employees that she and Altman have a strong partnership, and that she has never stopped herself from providing feedback to him directly.

Employees at OpenAI, particularly those who threatened to quit during Altman’s dismissal, are eager for the WilmerHale investigation to shed light on the events. It remains unclear if the full report or a summary will be made public.

Cabinet approves India AI Mission with Rs 10,372 crore outlay

by Leave a Comment

The capital approved will be used to build high-end scalable AI ecosystem in public-private partnership mode.

AI Mission

In Short

  • Cabinet’s nod to India AI Mission with outlay of Rs 10,372 crore 
  • Mission aims to build high-end scalable AI ecosystem
  • India AI Innovation Centre to be established under the mission.

The Cabinet on Thursday approved the India AI Mission with an outlay of Rs 10,372 crore for five years to encourage AI development in the country, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said.

The approved corpus will be used to build a high-end scalable AI ecosystem in public-private partnership mode.

“With an outlay of Rs 10,372 crore, one very ambitious India AI Mission that will encourage AI segment and ongoing research in this field…has been approved by the cabinet,” Goyal said.

The mission will be implemented through the IndiaAI Independent Business Division (IBD) under Digital India Corporation (DIC).

The minister, briefing reporters after the Cabinet meeting, said supercomputing capacity, comprising over 10,000 GPUs (graphics processing unit), will be made available to various stakeholders for creating an AI ecosystem.

The demand for GPU-based servers has increased as they can process data at a higher speed compared to CPU-based servers.

Startups, academia, researchers and industry will be given access to the AI supercomputing infrastructure established under the India AI Mission, Goyal said.

Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar on social media platform X said that AI is poised to be the kinetic enabler for India’s digital economy.

“This program will catalyse India’s AI ecosystem and position it as a force shaping the future of AI for India and the world. AI is one of the greatest inventions of our time, India will play a major role in shaping its future. That is ModiKiGuarantee,” Chandrasekhar said.

The minister said that the mission will benefit states like Kerala, which, for years, missed the bus in creating a robust tech ecosystem.

An India AI Innovation Centre (IAIC) will be set up under the mission. The IAIC will be a leading academic institution, ensuring streamlined implementation and retention of top research talent.

Funds approved by the Cabinet will enable IAIC to spearhead the development and deployment of foundational models, with a specific emphasis on indigenous Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) and domain-specific models, leveraging edge and distributed computing for optimal efficiency.

The financial outlay will fortify the India AI Startup Financing mechanism, facilitating streamlined access to funding for budding AI startups and catalysing their journey from product development to commercialisation.

“The proposal also includes funding provisions for industry-led AI projects aimed at fostering social impact, propelling innovation and entrepreneurship,” an official statement said.

A National Data Management Office will be set up under the mission that will coordinate with various government departments and ministries to improve the quality of data and make them available for AI development and deployment.

Working groups formed by the government on Artificial Intelligence (AI) have recommended setting up a three-tier compute infrastructure, comprising 24,500 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

At present, the US and China lead in computing infrastructure required for the development of AI technology.

According to the Top 500 website, top-performing supercomputers are located in the US, Europe, Japan, China, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia, where purchasing power parity is high.

As per the Top 500 list issued in November 2022, China had 162 supercomputers, followed by the US with 127, while India had three.

According to industry estimates, NVIDIA dominates the GPU market with about 88 per cent market share and there is a lag of 12-18 months in getting GPUs from the company due to its high demand across the globe.

The AI working groups have recommended setting up best-in-class AI computing infrastructure at five locations with 3,000 AI Petaflops computing power, with 15 times more capacity than the highest capacity installed at present.

The groups have recommended setting up an Inference Farm (2,500 AI PF) and Edge Compute (500 AI PF) systems.

The government has already spent Rs 1,218.14 crore in the last eight years to set up 24 PetaFlops compute capacity under the National Supercomputing Mission.

In the race to develop AI capacity, Microsoft provided Open AI with a USD 1 billion investment in 2019 and a USD 10 billion (about Rs 82,000 crore) investment in 2023.

IBM alone invested USD 6.5 billion (about Rs 5300 crore) in research, development and engineering to innovate in the field of AI, hybrid cloud and emerging areas, such as quantum in 2022.
