Month-Long Bastar Olympics Conclude Today Month-Long Bastar Olympics Conclude Today RAIPUR: Miles away from the hostile forests where Maoist commander Madvi Hidma once ruled with a gun before falling to police bullets recently, another Hidma is getting ready to take aim. But, not at security forces.”I am Hidma, but not that Hidma. I am Muchaki Hidma from Sukma district. I surrendered this year… Now I will aim at my target through archery,” he says. Muchaki Hidma points at a straw target, preparing himself for Saturday, the concluding day of Chhattisgarh’s Bastar Olympics in Jagdalpur, where Union home minister Amit Shah will be watching.Practising at Indira Priyadarshini Stadium on Friday, Muchaki Hidma, who is in his early 30s, says he now realises “how freedom feels” – not having to camouflage, hide behind trees or chase human targets with guns.Hidma is part of a team called ‘Nuvabaat’ – “new path”. The team is made up of former Maoists and victims of insurgency, who have either surrendered or lost limbs and loved ones to violence. “The moment I say ‘Hidma’, people look scared. So I have to clarify,” he says.Over 700 surrendered Maoists and victims of their violence are expected to take the field on Saturday across disciplines – athletics, kabaddi, kho-kho, archery and traditional games.Hidma says he grew up in a large family where farming was never enough to provide for them. “We could not expand the farming land due to the forest around. Our family was big and we had meagre resources. When the Naxals came and said, ‘Come with us’, I went. They gave me a gun. At first it even felt exciting,” he says.The excitement ended when the fighting intensified. “When the firing started, it made me introspect – how would I ever get out of this?”Bastar Olympics is a month-long sports carnival that covers seven Maoist-affected districts of Chhattisgarh’s Bastar division: Bijapur, Dantewada, Kanker, Kondagaon, Narayanpur, Sukma and Bastar. Local boys and girls also participate in village-level, block-level and finally divisional-level contests. This year, around 3,500 finalists have reached Jagdalpur. Total registrations have crossed 3.9 lakh, including around 2.3 lakh women – a more than two-fold jump from last year’s participation.About the AuthorRashmi DroliaRashmi is a Special Correspondent with The Times of India in Chhattisgarh.

The Supreme Court has ruled that individual liberty, while crucial, cannot override national security concerns in UAPA cases.

NEW DELHI: Carving out an exception to ‘bail not jail’ principle, Supreme Court has ruled that the right of an accused person to life and liberty should be protected, but it cannot be the sole ground to grant him bail when he is facing trial in a UAPA case for endangering national security and integrity.Dealing with CBI’s challenge to bail granted by Calcutta HC to the accused who removed railway tracks, leading to derailment of Jnaneshwari Express and collision with a goods train resulting in the death of 148 people and injuries to 170 on June 9, 2010, a bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and N K Singh said “individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to just exceptions, that is, the paramount considerations of national interest, sovereignty and integrity of the nation.”Barbaric actions can’t be excused, says SCThe scales of Lady Justice must balance on the one hand the constitutionally consecrated and jealously guarded right under Article 21″and the just exceptions, it said.Writing the judgment, Justice Karol said, “Certain cases such as the instant one demand, by their very nature and effect, that the issue presented is looked at from a much wider point of view – national security.”The derailment was caused by Maoist cadres to pressurise govt to withdraw deployment of a joint force of state police and central paramilitary force in Jhargram to combat and capture Rasua village by the Maoists. Apart from loss of lives and injuries to persons, the govt lost approximately Rs 25 crore in the damage caused to public property.The bench said every citizen, irrespective of the grouping or section in society, has a constitutional right to protest within the limits of law against govt’s policy decisions. But barbaric actions, like the sabotage on train tracks resulting in deaths of nearly 150 unsuspecting citizens undertaking a train journey, cannot be excused, it said.It also rejected the argument that since the accused have undergone more than 12 years of imprisonment, they are entitled to bail under provision 436A of IPC, which mandates release of an undertrial accused on bail once he served more than half the maximum sentence for the offence. SC said for terror acts like the one in hand, one of the possible punishments is death, and hence 12-year incarceration cannot be a ground for release on bail under 436A.The bench noted the reverse burden cast under UAPA on accused to prove their innocence and said the trial courts must ensure that the persons incarcerated in such offences are given every document cited against them to prepare their defence and give them a chance to prove their innocence. It ordered an expeditious trial in the more than 15-year-old case.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Speeds Up Visas For Chinese Businesses Amid Thaw In Ties; Beijing Calls It ‘Positive Move’India’s Ambassador To UNESCO Hails Inscription Of Diwali On Intangible Cultural Heritage ListPutin Keeps Sharif Waiting In Ashgabat, Desperate Pakistan PM Gate-Crashes Meeting With ErdoganIs Trump Planning A New Core-5 Superclub With India As Central Power?

The Union Cabinet has approved the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhikshan Bill, aiming to consolidate higher education regulation under a single authority, excluding medical and legal fields. This move seeks to simplify governance and enhance academic quality. Meanwhile, a parliamentary committee will question IndiGo, DGCA, and ministry officials regarding recent flight cancellations and pilot rest rule implementation. The Union Cabinet has approved the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhikshan Bill, aiming to consolidate higher education regulation under a single authority, excluding medical and legal fields. This move seeks to simplify governance and enhance academic quality. Meanwhile, a parliamentary committee will question IndiGo, DGCA, and ministry officials regarding recent flight cancellations and pilot rest rule implementation. NEW DELHI: Cabinet on Friday cleared the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhikshan Bill, paving the way for a major overhaul of higher education regulation and giving legislative shape to a key commitment of NE.The proposed law seeks to establish a single overarching authority for higher education, replacing legacy regulators such as UGC, AICTE and NCTE. Medical and legal education will remain outside its ambit, it is learned. The proposed legislation, earlier referred to as Higher Education Commission of India Bill, has now been given Viksit Bharat branding. Officials said the new framework “is aimed at simplifying governance, reducing regulatory overlap and shifting focus of oversight away from compliance-driven controls towards academic quality and learning outcomes across public and private institutions”.Under the proposed law, regulation, accreditation, academic standard-setting and funding will be handled through distinct verticals. While the new authority will frame norms, quality benchmarks and institutional oversight mechanisms, disbursal of public funds will continue to rest with the administrative ministry. “The separation is intended to prevent co-nflict of interest, reduce micromanagement and create a more transparent regulatory architecture,” said an official.”A unified regulator could bring coherence to academic standards and allow universities greater freedom to innovate in pedagogy and research, while remaining accountable for outcomes,” said Vinay Pathak, vice-chancellor, Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University.Emphasis on accreditation and learning outcomes is seen as aligned with global best practices. By ring-fencing funding from regulatory decision-making, govt aims to create a system where quality assurance is insulated from financial considerations.Policy analysts note the effectiveness of the reform will depend heavily on implementation. Issues related to institutional autonomy, federal balance and transition from regulators are expected to figure prominently when the bill is taken up in Parliament.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.
