The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill 2014, which was introduced in Rajya Sabha in 2014, was recently cleared with 119 amendments.

The legislation, drafted to make Indian laws compliant with the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, will replace the Persons with Disabilities Act 1995.


Highlights of the Bill:

~The number of disabilities listed rises from seven in the 1995 Act through 19 in the 2014 bill to 21 after the amendments, including acid attack and Parkinson’s disease.

~The Bill has also laid down provisions to allow the central government to notify any other condition as a disability.

~Now individuals with at least 40% of a disability are also entitled to benefits such as reservations in education and employment, preference in government schemes and others.

~The bill sets the government a two-year deadline to ensure persons with disability get barrier-free access in all kinds of physical infrastructure and transport systems.

~It recognises the need for reservation for them in promotion and makes special mention of the rights of disabled women and children.

~It defines many terms vague in previous versions, including what constitutes discrimination.

~According to the bill, the District courts may bestow upon two types of guardianship: limited guardian (who has to take joint decisions with mentally ill person) and plenary guardian (who can take decisions on behalf of mentally ill person, without consulting them).

~A penalty will also be slapped for violating the rules of the Act. The 1995 Act did not have any such penal provision. However, 2014 Bill had made violation of any provision of the Act punishable with a jail term of up to 6 months, and/or a fine of Rs 10,000.

Whistleblowers law:

The law provides a mechanism to investigate allegations of corruption and misuse of power by public servants while protecting those who tip off investigative agencies against officials.

In 2014, the Whistleblowers Protection Act replaced a 2011 legislation aiming to strengthen the legal framework. However, the central government is yet to set up a mechanism under the 2014 law as certain amendments are being debated in parliament.
The Whistleblower Protection Act, which was passed in May 2014 after an inordinate delay, lays down the rules that protect whistle blowers in non-corporate cases. Under this Act, the Central Vigilance Commissioner has to receive complaints, review public disclosure requests and ensure that the complainants are protected. The Act stipulates imprisonment of up to two years and fine of up to ₹30,000 if the complaint is false. The government has proposed a few amendments to these rules.
The amendment bill is pending in the parliament. The amendment bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha in May 2015 but is yet to be passed. The amendment proposed to exclude from the purview of the Whistleblowers Act, categories like cabinet proceedings, scientific interests and the security of India.

polio

injectable polio vaccine

IPV is produced from wild-type poliovirus strains of each serotype that have been inactivated (killed) with formalin.
As an injectable vaccine, it can be administered alone or in combination with other vaccines.

IPV provides serum immunity to all three types of poliovirus, resulting in protection against paralytic poliomyelitis.

IPV is an evidence-based intervention that not only ensures continued protection of children against all types of polio viruses, but also helps save vaccine — a move bound to positively impact global vaccine supply in the coming years.

Studies have confirmed that two fractional doses (one fractional dose is one-fifth of a full dose) of IPV, given twice to infants — first at the age of six weeks and then at 14 weeks — provide the same protection against all polio viruses as does one full dose of IPV.

@India became the first country globally to introduce fractional doses of IPV in childhood immunisation programme in eight states and Union territories in early 2016.@

The Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) in Goods of World Trade Organisation (WTO) came into effect with its ratification by two-thirds members of WTO including India.

The TFA in Goods was adopted by the WTO Members in 2014.

It aims to streamline, simplify, standardise and ease customs procedures and norms.

It will help to cut trade costs around the world.


About Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA)
The TFA in Goods is the WTO’s first-ever multilateral accord that aims to simplify customs regulations for the cross-border movement of goods.

It was outcome of WTO’s 9th Bali (Indonesia) ministerial package of 2013.
The agreement includes provisions for
1)Lowering import tariffs and agricultural subsidies: It will make it easier for developing countries to trade with the developed world in global markets.

2)Abolish hard import quotas: Developed countries would abolish hard import quotas on agricultural products from the developing world and instead would only be allowed to charge tariffs on amount of agricultural imports exceeding specific limits.
3)Reduction in red tape at international borders: It aims to reduce red-tapism to facilitate trade by reforming customs bureaucracies and formalities.

analysis---
The implementation of the TFA in Goods has the potential to create US 1 trillion dollars’ worth of global economic activity and trade which may add 21 million new jobs and lower the cost of doing international trade by 10 to 15 per cent. TFA will help India’s ongoing reforms to bring in simplification and enhanced transparency in cross border trade in goods. It will further help India to boost economic growth by reducing trade costs and supporting its integration into the global economy.
Trade Facilitation in Services (TFS) Agreement
Recently, India submitted a legally vetted proposal on Trade Facilitation in Services (TFS) Agreement, a global services pact on the lines of the TFA in Goods to the WTO.
Now the proposal for TFS Agreement will be taken up by an expert committee at the WTO headquarters in Geneva and later it will be put up for discussion among all the WTO members.
It aims to ease norms for movement of skilled workers across borders for short-term work, ensure portability of social security contributions, single window mechanism for foreign investment approvals and cross-border insurance coverage to boost medical tourism.

India and ADB have signed USD 375 million pact for loans and grants to develop 800—km Visakhapatnam—Chennai Industrial Corridor, which is the first phase of a planned 2,500-km East Coast Economic Corridor.

ECEC’s long coastline and strategically located ports allow multiple international gateways to connect India with global value chains (GVCs) in East and Southeast Asia.

ECEC supports the Government of India’s (GoI) Make in India campaign, which aims to boost manufacturing by attracting foreign investment and facilitating the establishment of manufacturing hubs.

ECEC also aligns with port-led industrialization under the Sagar Mala initiative and the Act East Policy by linking domestic companies with the vibrant global production networks of East and Southeast Asia.
Because of the vastness of India’s eastern coastline, ECEC’s developmet is conducted in a phase manner ECEC is being undertaken in 3 phases: phase 1 covers the Visakhapatnam–Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC); phase 2 involves the Chennai–Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor (CKIC); and phase 3 supports Orissa and West Bengal Industrial Corridor.

hyperloop transportation system?

It is a transportation system where a pod-like vehicle is propelled through a near-vacuum tube connecting cities at speeds matching that of an aircraft.

The hyperloop concept is a brainchild of Tesla founder Elon Musk. US-based Hyperloop Transport Technology (HTT) claimed it costs $40 million per kilometre to build a hyperloop system while building a high-speed train line would cost almost twice.

The hyperloop system is being designed to transport passengers and freight

How it operates?

In hyperloop transporation, custom-designed capsules or pods are expected to zip smoothly through continuous steel tubes which are held at partial vacuum. The pod which sandwiches the passenger compartment between an air compressor upfront and a battery compartment in the rear is supported by air caster skis at the bottom. The skis float on a thin layer of air provided under high pressure, eliminating rolling resistance and allowing for movement of the pods at high speeds. These capsules are expected to be driverless with estimated speeds of 1,000 km/h.

Linear induction motors that are placed along the tube control the speed of the pod. Electronically-assisted acceleration and braking determines the speed of the capsule.
