8 Counting the strides(प रगत ) Intro:-Pakistan is a particularly misogynistic(prejudiced(पक षप त) against women) country. Pakistan has been ranked very low in the Gender Gap Index, with only Yemen being worse off. Transformation despite odds Despite- Much has changed in the social, cultural and demographic position, and lives, of women in Pakistan over the last two decades Two facts- 1)- One categories women perform unexpectedly better than men. 2)-Two, that the rate of change in women s improvement is faster/higher than that it is for men. Girls enrolment at the primary school level increased by 34% between and Increased only 13.5% for boys. Middle level education -Increase girls education by 54%, compared to that for boys by 26% Higher levels - 52% compared to 48%.

9 Continue Political inclusion 2001 and 2005, under the then President, General Parvez Musharraf, 35,000 and 25,000 women, respectively, were elected and nominated to Pakistan s third tier of government Other initiatives, such as the Women on Wheels (women riding scooters provided by the Punjab Government at heavily subsidised rates), women taxi drivers, women s marathons. The electronic media and access to mobile phones and communication, has also cut across gendered and class barriers.

10 Pieces of a complex solution Intro:-Success of bankruptcy law will depend on the jurisprudence that develops under the IBC Resolution of the NPA problem is on the top of the government s mind. Reserve Bank of India (RBI), stating its decision to focus on 12 stressed accounts, totalling about 25% of the current gross NPAs and referring them to the IBC immediately. Cleared an ordinance to amend the Banking Regulation Act, giving the RBI more powers to direct banks to resolve bad loans. A tough task RBI s direct involvement in cases to the IBC- urgency to the NPA resolution efforts. Market conditions are in a slump(म द ), such as steel, power and textiles. In this environment- difficult for banks to find suitable buyers of distressed assets. Require immense political will to allow bankers to take the necessary haircuts without bankers fearing that their decisions will be questioned or investigated in the future Tight resolution timelines envisaged under the IBC cannot be achieved if bankers do not have the commercial flexibility and the autonomy to sell distressed assets.

11 Continue Promoters can be a hurdle Bankers cannot make significant management changes in distressed companies as promoters closely control key aspects of a business. Promoters understand this conundrum(पह ल ) and have used it to their advantage in the past. How ready is the framework? Question of whether the institutional framework within which the NPAs will have to be resolved is ready to handle this complex task This framework includes the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) A special class of professionals-appointed by the NCLT-charge of managing the debtor company. Insolvency Professionals -IPs are truly independent and do not allow promoters or other key stakeholders to manipulate the resolution process in any unfair manner. We have to wait and watch how the various players, including bankers, promoters, the government, IPs, auditors, lawyers, valuers and liquidators, behave in the next few cases The hope is that institutional capacity will strengthen-value of distressed assets be maximised

12 Soldiers on a literacy mission Intro:- Bhim Army s schools- Organisation of mostly Dalit youngsters Hindi media had declared them Naxals and a bunch of violent thugs without any evidence. The caste clashes in Saharanpur became an occasion for the media and the ruling establishment to brand us as Naxals and possibly ban us, Nishulk Paathshalas (free schools) run by the organisation. The first such school was started by Chandrashekhar Azad and his friend Vinay in July 2015, immediately after they finished college. Funded initially by small financial contributions from Dalits, Soon became the biggest initiative in western Uttar Pradesh as community members in more than 200 villages in Saharanpur came forward to offer assistance. They- protest peacefully on May 9 after Dalit households were burnt in Shabbipur. The police did not allow us- No member of the Bhim Army attacked any other person,

13 Conclusion Agitate and organise Demonisation by the media and the local administration has led to most Dalits in Saharanpur either coming in support of the group or becoming members. Babasaheb Ambedkar said, first you have to educate yourself, then get organised, and then struggle for your rights. That is what we are doing... It won t stop at any cost, even when the media continues demonising us and the BJP government keeps troubling us.
