1)Navika Sagar Parikrama: India’s first all-women circumnavigation expedition flagged-off:-
This is the first ever Indian circumnavigation of the globe by an all-women crew. The project is considered essential towards promoting Ocean Sailing activities in the Navy while depicting Government of India’s thrust for ‘Nari Shakti’.
Navika Sagar Parikrama would cover the expedition in five legs with stop-overs at four ports (Fremantle, Australia; Lyttleton, New Zealand; Port Stanley, the Falklands; and Cape town, South Africa) for replenishment of ration and repairs as necessary, before returning to Goa in April 2018.
Aims of the Mission:-
2)Government to launch Project Insight:- The Union Finance Ministry is planning to launch ‘Project Insight’ from October 2017 to monitor high value transactions and detect tax evaders using technology with a view to curbing circulation of black money.
To implement the project government has signed contract with Information Technogolgy major L&T Infotect Ltd.
Project Insights will play key role in widening of tax base and data mining to track tax evaders.
3)The Union Ministry of Commerce and Industries has set up Contact@DGFT, an online service facility for effective resolution of foreign trade-related issues of importers and exporters.
The facility was activated on Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) website. It will enable traders to raise all trade related matters to Directorate or other agencies of Centre and States.
4)Refugees go to SC against Article 35A:- Some refugees from West Pakistan, who had migrated to India during Partition, have moved the Supreme Court challenging Article 35A of the Constitution relating to special rights and privileges of permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
Article 35A is a provision in the Constitution that empowers the Jammu and Kashmir legislature to define permanent residents of the state.
It was added through the Constitution(Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954, issued under Article 370.
The Jammu and Kashmir Constitution was adopted on November 17, 1956.
It had defined a Permanent Resident as a person who was a state subject on May 14, 1954, or who has been a resident of the state for 10 years, and has lawfully acquired immovable property in the state.
The Problem is that many of the rights like holding property, state govt. employment, settlement in the state, right to scholarships etc are available only to the Permanent Residents of Jammu and Kashmir , which is seen by many as opposed to the Rights of Equality etc.
