5 Step back Sustained tension at the Bhutan tri-junction suits neither China nor India Tri-junction stretch of the boundary at Sikkim- India and Bhutan have carried on separate negotiations with China. China s action of sending People s Liberation Army construction teams with earth moving equipment to forcibly build a road upsets a carefully preserved peace the stretch was opened as an alternative route to Kailash Mansarovar For Indian pilgrims as a confidence-building measure. India and China to accept that relations have deteriorated steadily since Mr. Xi s 2014 visit.

6 Stand-of comes after a series of setbacks to bilateral ties- 1)-Delhi disappointment over China s rejection- concerns on sovereignty issues. 2)-Refusal to corner Pakistan on cross-border terrorism or 3)-Help India s bid for Nuclear Suppliers Group membership. In turn, 1)-India s spurning(refuse) of the Belt and Road Initiative and 2)-Cooperation with the U.S. on maritime issues 3)-Arunachal Pradesh CM questioning India s One China Policy on Tibet, Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh was quoted as saying that, As far as the boundary issue is concerned, I have also maintained that we don t share our boundary with China, but we share our boundary with Tibet. 4)-Army chief Bipin Rawat on India being prepared for war

7 These issues have to be addressed through sustained dialogue. In the immediate term, however, talks must focus on defusing the tensions at the tri-junction. China has made the withdrawal of Indian troops a precondition for dialogue. This would be unacceptable to India, unless the PLA also 1)-Withdraws its troops and 2)-Road building teams. Beijing must recognise the special relationship India and Bhutan have shared since Friendship treaty of 2007 that commits 1)- India to protecting Bhutan s interests, and 2)-Close coordination between the two militaries.

8 Bhutan s sovereignty must be maintained The Indian government has been wise to avoid escalation in the face of China s aggressive barrage, but that should not stop it from communicating its position in more discreet ways.

11 Written-of in the hinterland Our education system has failed to integrate the rural into larger political community- nation National policy- since education mainly as human resource development. The impact of education on rural life has remained consistent since colonial days. When a village boy did well at school, he was expected to shift to a nearby town. That is where he could expect his talent to be recognised. Gradually, villages became the supplier of talent to the city. Only those who were dependent on land stayed back. Passage of time, land got subdivided into smaller pieces, making agriculture unattractive. In recent times, investments made land more productive, but real income declined. Work opportunities in villages in non-agricultural pursuits remained scarce, and, in the recent past, job growth has come to a standstill.

12 Industry, coaching now represents an acceptable way of spending much of your youth. Protects you from feeling constantly frustrated. Countless young students neither a choice nor hope that something will eventually turn up. Lakhs of students from rural and semi-urban areas spend their youth getting coached indiscriminately for competitive entry into an ever-shrinking opportunity market. Coaching industry itself, or in its ancillary(अध नस थ) industry of private tuition. Despite better connectivity by road and phone, villages continue to be alienated from the state s imagination. Former Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, once said that migration from rural areas has a positive side to it because the state s services are more accessible in cities. His belief that change in the rural-urban ratio of population will accelerate development is widely shared. According to this view, modernity for the village can only mean its merger in the urban landscape.

13 Schools in rural areas remained neglected and attempts to improve them never gained momentum. Policy focus remained on selecting the talented from among rural children through schemes such as Navodaya Vidyalaya. Education -rural-urban asymmetry, deepening the alienation of the rural citizen.

14 Climate-proofed and inclusive Q-How will future climate change affect the poor and how does one address both poverty and climate change? This is a conundrum(पह ल ) faced by policymakers in India and other developing countries. Paradigm shift has taken place in the last three decades Income alone is no longer considered as being sufficient to estimate and address poverty. One can have assets and a reasonable income and yet be poor in terms of education, nutrition, health and other living conditions. Nevertheless, in India and many other countries, governments continue to use income or consumption to estimate poverty, with specified thresholds associated with the poverty line.

15 On this basis, using consumption expenditure data- Planning Commission estimated poverty in India to be at 22% of the population in People living in poverty in various parts of the world share multiple conditions and life circumstances. Amartya Sen and other welfare economists and political philosophers, the dimensions that are considered often include. 1)-Living standards, 2)-Assets, 3)-Health, 4)-Income, 5)-Consumption and 6)-Status in their societies

16 Mexico, Chile and Colombia, use several dimensions to record poverty using the MPI (Multidimensional Poverty Index), a versatile tool developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) that looks at the dimensions of 1)-Education, 2)-Health and 3)-Standard of living, Giving them all equal weightage. Each dimension includes several markers or indicators that are measured to recognise deficiencies in each. Those who are deprived in at least a third of the weighted indicators are regarded as poor. Measures such as MPI help us to estimate not only how many people are poor, but also the quality and depth of their poverty. The most recent MPI for India calculated using India Human Development Survey data of , estimates that 41% of the people were multi-dimensionally poor.

17 The adverse effects of climate change that are anticipated in South Asia are 1)-Droughts, 2)-Floods, 3)-Heat waves, 4)-Sea level rise and Related problems such as Food shortages, Spread of diseases, Loss of jobs and Migration. These will harmfully affect the poorest and further deteriorate the quality of their lives. Numerous studies have shown worst effects from climate variability and climate change.

18 Projects and programmes designed to help people But even the experts do not now how this should be done for 1)-Specific sectors, 2)-Policies, or particular local situations. Multi-dimensional understanding of poverty becomes important for research and policy. SDGs have targets and indicators that cover a broad range of concerns for human welfare. They include food security, education, poverty alleviation, access to safe and adequate water, energy, sanitation and so on. The deadline for reaching the SDGs is This will be a big test for India and other developing countries- major development challenges. India is taking the SDGs quite seriously and the NITI Aayog has been coordinating activities. Climate variability and climate change impacts can prevent us from reaching and maintaining the SDG targets.

19 Through such a process, India could also serve as a standard for other poor and developing countries that are beginning to think about inclusive climate proofed development. Climate Proofing for Development determines the bio-physical and socioeconomic impacts of climate change in order to plan appropriate adaptation strategies. This process always requires expert support, process facilitation and tailor-made capacity development

The newly identified IBAs of Kerala are 1)-Achencoil Forest Division; 2)-Anamudi Shola National Park; 3)-Camel s Hump Mountain, Wayanad; 4)-Kurinjimala Wildlife Sanctuary; 5)-Malayattoor Reserve Forest; 6)-Mankulam Forest Division; 7)-Mathikettan Shola National Park; 8)-MuthikulamSiruvani; and 9)- Pampadum Shola National Park.

24 Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) is an area identified using an internationally agreed set of criteria as being globally important for the conservation of bird populations. The program was developed and sites are identified by Bird Life International. Currently there are over 12,000 IBAs worldwide. In the United States the Program is administered by the National Audubon Society. Often IBAs form part of a country's existing protected area network, and so are protected under national legislation. Legal recognition and protection of IBAs that are not within existing protected areas varies within different countries. Some countries have a National IBA Conservation Strategy, whereas in others protection is completely lacking.
