Current Affairs for IAS Exams - 31 July 2013 Posted: 31 Jul 2013 06:10 AM PDT Current Affairs for IAS Exams - 31 July 2013 India's 29th State Telangana The process that will culminate in the creation of what will be India's 29th State promises to be complicated. The Centre, , would send the CWC resolution to the State Assembly to seek its views (its approval is not required), after which it will go to the Union Cabinet. A Group of Ministers to address all the issues of Telangana and Seemandhra — the sharing of waters, revenue, land, power, assets and liabilities — will then be set up. The Union Cabinet will then ask the Union Law Ministry to draft a bill that will be sent to the Andhra Pradesh Assembly for its comments. Next, the Union Home Ministry will make adequate provisions, incorporating the suggestions. After this, the government-approved draft bill will be sent to the President; Parliament will then have to pass the bill in both the Houses by a simple majority. The final step: it will go back to the President for notification. As for the provisions of Article 371 (D), which provides for special provisions for the State, the Union Cabinet would examine whether it would remain relevant after the creation of Telangana. For the moment, the proposal to include two districts of Rayalaseema — Anantapur and Kurnool — in Telangana has been put in cold storage. The new State will have 10 districts, while the remaining Andhra and Rayalaseema regions will together constitute Seemandhra. Mamnoon is Pak. President Pakistan elected businessman Mamnoon Hussain as its 12th President, Lawmakers from both Houses of the national Parliament and four provincial Assemblies voted in the two-man race for the largely ceremonial post.

This infrastructure will leverage 'ICT to revolutionise our current governance and service delivery paradigm. Networks such as the National Knowledge Network, which connects Universities and Research Institutions, and the Rural Broadband Network, which connects Panchayats, will emerge as the new highways for connecting ideas and disseminating knowledge. Initiatives such as Aadhaar and the National GIS will enhance policy planning to make it more efficient and effective, and numerous applications riding on this ICT infrastructure will unleash unforeseen innovation at all levels of the citizenry. As and when this new infrastructure becomes ubiquitous, connecting people and ideas in an ever faster manner, we will witness a generational change in our current processes towards openness, accessibility, transparency, accountability and decentralisation - essentially 'democratisation of information'. And this democratisation of information will challenge established structures of power built on the premise of information control to change towards a new paradigm of a more transparent and accountable society. read more Online IAS PRE Coaching.
