9 Power drive Getting affordable electricity to every household needs sustained policy support. Leisang in Manipur became the last village to be added to the national power grid. The rural electrification scheme to supply power to 18,452 villages that have never seen power since Independence. Access to electricity drives the productivity of households, empowers women and enables education and communication. Millions of homes still lack this vital resource in India. And as of April 1, 2015, the official count of unelectrified villages was 18,452. So when Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently announced that all inhabited villages now enjoy electrification, it signalled a significant milestone in the country s development. It is an achievement that will raise aspirations in the remotest districts. Yet, broad-brush statistics conceal severe disparities, including the actual number of households in villages that have power connections, the number of hours they get reliable power, and the per capita power that rural and urban Indians consume.

10 Continue.. For one, the existing definition to declare a village electrified is coverage of a mere 10% of households and common facilities such as schools, panchayats and health centres. The claim of electrification pales when viewed against some of these realities. Rural household electrification has a wide range across States, from 47% to 100%. The average hours of power supplied in a day to rural areas in January 2018 ranged from 11.5 in Mizoram, in Haryana and in Uttar Pradesh to 24 hours in Kerala, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. These anomalies are often the result of infrastructure deficits and administrative inefficiency and they show that, even with supportive Central schemes, the Power for All 24x7 goal adopted by States and Union Territories with a deadline of April 1, 2019 is far from realistic.

11 Continue.. Census data for 2001 and 2011 indicate that the number of rural households that use electricity as their primary source of lighting rose by about 12 percentage points to 55.3%, while in that decade urban households rose five points to 92.7%. The per capita consumption between rural and fast-rising urban India also represents a challenge, since there is a divergence between the two. The answer may lie in a hybrid solution that ensures continued scaling up of both grid-connected and standalone solar systems in appropriate areas, augmenting conventional sources of electricity, with a clear emphasis on rooftop solutions for cities. Cheaper renewables will enable differential pricing for households in remote areas.

12 Bibi s theatrical pitch Israeli evidence on Iran s nuclear programme just reinforces the importance of the 2015 nuclear deal. The U.S. s intelligence community judged in 2007 that Iran had largely halted its nuclear weapons programme four years previously, there were credible concerns that some research and development had continued. In November 2011, for instance, the Agency produced a diagram showing how the structure of Iran s nuclear weapons programme had changed over time. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), amply supplied by the intelligence agencies of the U.S., Israel and Europe, was able to develop a remarkably detailed picture of these illicit activities. He announced that his country had audaciously spirited out tens of thousands of documents from a secret facility in Iran which conclusively prove that Iran was brazenly lying when it said it never had a nuclear weapons programme. The purpose of this spectacle was to put Tehran in the dock once more, this time just two weeks before U.S. President Donald Trump is due to decide whether he will certify, or annul, the nuclear deal painstakingly negotiated in 2015 between Iran and six world powers.

13 What is Iran nuclear deal? Iran and six world powers known as the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) reached a historic nuclear deal on July 14, 2015 that limited Iran's nuclear program and enhanced monitoring in exchange for relief from nuclear sanctions. Prior to that, Iran had been engaged in efforts to acquire the capability to build nuclear weapons for more than two decades. Although it remained uncertain whether Tehran would have made the final decision to build nuclear weapons, it had developed a range of technologies, including uranium enrichment, warhead design, and delivery systems, that would give it this option in a relatively short time frame. Tehran maintains that its nuclear activities are entirely peaceful.

14 Comandante Daniel s Nicaragua rocked Protests over welfare reform have brought Daniel Ortega s authoritarianism into focus. The violence and the clampdown that have convulsed Nicaragua, marked by mayhem on the streets of Managua and other cities, have left many dead, and undermined President Daniel Ortega s authority. The public protests were triggered by the government s decision to simultaneously raise individual contributions and reduce social welfare benefits and pensions. The economic rationale behind the move was to contain the ballooning social security deficit of recent years, based on the financial projections by the IMF for the end of the decade. The current escalation has revived memories of the 1970s, with parallels being drawn between the dictator Anastasio Somoza, whom Mr. Ortega overthrew.

15 The rocky road to 2019 Concrete steps are needed to defuse crises that could disrupt India s political and social equilibrium. Lowdown on internal security: Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed an increase in casualties, of civilians and security personnel, an upsurge in terrorist violence, a rise in cross-border terrorism and increased infiltration from Pakistan. State of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana witnessed Maoisit Violence and Naxalite militancy. Dalit identity and concerns: The Bharat bandh was organised to protest the judgment of the Supreme Court, amending the Scheduled Castes and Schedules Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Violence against children: Recently, the Kathua and Unnav have become synonymous with the violence against children.

16 Continue.. Cracks in the two pillars: 1. Disruption seen in the functioning of Parliament 2. Impeachment against CJI Cyber Concern: 1. India is possibly the third most vulnerable country today from the point of view of cyberattacks. 2. Many experts are of the view that as the digital economy expands, India will confront the spectre of cyberattacks. Communal Tensions: 1. resurgence in communal and caste aspirations 2. rise of regional subnationalism.
