6 FUN FACT AAJ KA GYAN PART 1 The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has launched The Eat Right Movement to empower the citizens by improving their health and well-being. It is a platform to provide credible information to help make informed and healthful eating choices. It is built on two broad pillars Eat Healthy and Eat Safe. Eat Healthy is about making healthy food choices. Eat Safe is about ensuring food safety from procurement to consumption and disposal of food. Led by the FSSAI, it is a collective effort, to nudge the citizens towards making right food and dietary choices. The aim of the programme is to cut down salt/sugar and oil consumption by 30% in three years. PART 2 India has been ranked 57th most innovative nation among 130 countries in the 11th edition of Global Innovation Index (GII-2018), which is developed jointly by Cornell University, INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). GII is a leading bench-marking tool for business executives, policymakers and others seeking insight into the state of innovation around the world. The ranking is constantly being used to evaluate progress on a continual basis. The GII ranks 126 economies based on 80 indicators. It is now in its 11th edition and has become a major input for policymakers on innovation around the world. On the global front, Switzerland maintained its number one position in the Global Innovation Index rankings. Other countries that fell in the top 10 list were Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, the US, Finland, Denmark, and Germany.

7 Onus on the CBI The arraignment of former Union Minister P. Chidambaram on corruption charges is a flashpoint in relations between the ruling BJP and the principal Opposition party, the Congress, in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha election. It also came on the eve of the debate in Parliament on a no-confidence motion against the four-year-old Narendra Modi government. The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Mr. Chidambaram, his son Karti Chidambaram and 16 others, on the ground that Foreign Investment Promotion Board approval was granted for investments made in Aircel by Global Communication Holdings Service, a Mauritius-based subsidiary of Maxis, a Malaysian conglomerate, in violation of norms. Mr. Chidambaram is accused of cheating and bribery, and having exceeded his authority by clearing investments amounting to 3,200 crore, whereas any investment above 600 crore needed the clearance of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.

8 CONTINUE For a case that essentially turns on documentary evidence, the CBI has taken unusually long to come to this conclusion. Mr. Chidambaram s statement on the FIPB approval was recorded in December 2014, and since then his son has been under the scanner. The filing of a charge sheet against Mr. Chidambaram ends the uncertainty about the agency s intentions. The Congress leader had said he was the real target though it was his son and those associated with him who were subjected to repeated searches and questioning. The two cases are vastly different, but given that the main case against former Union Communications Minister Dayanidhi Maran relating to the Aircel-Maxis investment was thrown out at the pre-trial stage by the Special Court, the CBI has a greater burden of proof to discharge. Mr. Chidambaram has maintained there was nothing amiss about the FIPB approval, which was given only after being processed at various levels.

9 CONCLUSION It may not be enough for the agency to prove that the Aircel-Maxis investment supposedly worth 180 crore actually had a value of 3,200 crore if the premium attached to it was taken into account. It also has to establish a clear link between the FIPB approval and some payments received by companies said to be controlled by Mr. Karti. Special Judge O.P. Saini, before whom the charge sheet has been filed, has a record of not accepting theories of quid pro quo behind government decisions without sufficient evidence. Both in the main 2G spectrum case, in which former Minister A. Raja and others were acquitted, and in the Aircel-Maxis case related to Mr. Maran, the judge had rejected prosecution claims seeking to link some transactions with the decisions of the ministers concerned. The case against Mr. Chidambaram will be a test for the CBI not only on merits, but also in disproving the allegations of political vendetta.

10 India to host U.S. for 2+2 talks India will host the inaugural round of the two-plus-two dialogue with the United States on September 6. The ministerial-level meeting will cover bilateral, regional and global issues, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Friday. The dialogue will be led by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman from the Indian side and the Secretary of State Mike R. Pompeo and Secretary of Defence James Mattis from the U.S. Broad range of issues This new dialogue format is in pursuit of agreement reached between India and the U.S. during Prime Minister Narendra Modi s visit to Washington D.C. on June

11 CONTINUE The 2+2 meeting will cover a broad range of bilateral, regional and global issues of shared interest, with a view to strengthening strategic and security ties between the two countries, said the Ministry of External Affairs announcing the dialogue. The announcement of the meeting which was postponed twice before comes in the midst of growing concern that anti-iran sanctions from the U.S. might impact the energy scenario of India. The dialogue which was scheduled for July 6 was postponed after Mr. Pompeo called up Ms. Swaraj seeking a mutually convenient time. The talks were cancelled earlier in March due to uncertainties that prevailed over Mr. Pompeo s confirmation in his post. The context for the September 6 talks will be set by the sanctions against Iran some of which are likely to be activated on August 6.

12 Sanctions against Iran Persons engaging in activity undertaken pursuant to the U.S. sanctions relief provided for in the JCPOA should take the steps necessary to wind down those activities by either August 6, 2018, or November 4, 2018, as applicable, to avoid exposure to sanctions or an enforcement action under U.S. law, the U.S. Treasury has declared in its official documents. This will also be the first round of high-level interaction between the two sides following the elections in Pakistan that will conclude in the last week of July.
