SUMMARY:14-year-old signs 50-million-rupee deal for anti-landmine drone
DESCRIPTION:Published on: 5:44 am\, January 14\, 2017 by: mattersindia.com \n  \nAhmedabad: A 14-year-old boy in Gujarat has signed an agreement worth 50 million rupees to explore the possibility of commercial production of a drone created by him which can help in detecting and defusing landmines in war fields. \n \n  \nHarshwardhan Zala\, who is studying in Class 10\, started work on the prototype of the landmine-detecting drone last year after reading in newspapers about high army casualties due to landmines. \n  \n?I first created a land mine detecting robot but realised that since the weight is heavy it would trigger a blast and damage it so I thought of creating a drone which will be at a safe distance while detecting the mines\,? said Harshwardhan\, who signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the recently-concluding Vibrant Gujarat summit in Ahmedabad. \n  \nThe state government had even part financed his final prototype which cost him around Rs. 500\,000. Now the government experts will explore the possibility of its commercial production. \n  \n?An MoU has been signed with him and in the coming days Gujarat government will work with him on this project\,? said Dr Narottam Sahu\, head of Gujarat Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST). \n  \nExplaining the concept\, Harshwardhan said that once the mine was detected by the drone through an infrared sensor\, a 50 gram detonator will complete the task of defusing it. \n  \nSo how much does his drone cost. ?For the final prototype that I created it cost me around Rs. 320\,000 and improving it further may increase the cost a little but it will be still cheaper than the present system which are used in army\,? the 14-year-old claimed. \n  \nHarshwardhan\, whose father is an accountant\, has set up his own company ? Aerobatics 7 ? and plans to create more such gadgets. A student of Sarvoday Vidhyamandi\, he says he has been interested in science and innovation for several years now. \n  \n  \n  \nsource:NDTV

SUMMARY:Post demonetisation\, India?s growth rate slowed to still robust 7%: World Bank
DESCRIPTION:BUSINESS Updated: Jan 11\, 2017 10:36 ISTPTI\, Washington \nWorld Bank has decelerated India?s growth for 2016-17 fiscal to 7% from its previous estimate of 7.6% . (Reuters) \nThe World Bank has decelerated India?s growth for 2016-17 fiscal to a ?still robust? 7% from its previous estimate of 7.6 due to demonetisation\, but asserted that the country would regain momentum in the following years with 7.6 and 7.8% growth. \n?The immediate withdrawal of a large volume of currency in circulation and subsequent replacement with new notes announced by the government in November contributed to slowing growth in 2016\,? the World Bank said in its latest report. \nIn its first report after November?s demonetisation\, the World Bank said\, ?Indian growth is estimated to have decelerated to a still robust 7% (in fiscal 2017 ending on March 31\, 2017)\, with continued tailwinds from low oil prices and solid agricultural output partly offset by challenges associated with the withdrawal of a large volume of currency in circulation and subsequent replacement with new notes.? \nNotably\, India maintains the distinction of being the fastest growing emerging market economies of the world\, bypassing China.  \n?India is expected to regain its momentum\, with growth rising to 7.6% in fiscal year(FY) 2018 and strengthening to 7.8% in FY 2019-20\,? the Bank said\, adding that various reform initiatives are expected to unlock domestic supply bottlenecks and raise productivity. \nInfrastructure spending should improve the business climate and attract investment in the near-term\, it added. \n?The ?Make in India? campaign may support India?s manufacturing sector\, backed by domestic demand and further regulatory reforms. Moderate inflation and a civil service pay hike should support real incomes and consumption\, assisted by bumper harvests after favourable monsoon rains\,? the Bank said in its latest report Global Economic Prospects. \n?A benefit of ?demonetisation? in the medium-term may be liquidity expansion in the banking system\, helping to lower lending rates and lift economic activity\,? the World Bank noted. \nNoting that in India\, cash accounts for more than 80% of the number of transactions\, the World Bank observed that in the short-term\, ?demonetisation? could continue to disrupt business and household economic activities\, weighing on growth. \n?Further\, the challenges encountered in phasing out large currency notes and replacing them with new ones may pose risks to the pace of other economic reforms (e.g. Goods and Services Tax\, labour\, and land reforms)\,? it said. \n?Spillovers from India to Nepal and Bhutan\, through trade and remittances channels\, could also negatively impact growth to these neighbouring smaller economies\,? the Bank noted. \nAccording to the Bank\, India?s growth in the first half of FY 2017 was underpinned by robust private and public consumption\, which offset slowing fixed investment\, subdued industrial activity and lethargic exports. \nConsumption was supported by lower energy costs\, public sector salary and pension increases\, and favourable monsoon rains\, which boosted urban and rural incomes\, it said adding that economic activity also benefited from a pickup in foreign direct investment (FDI) and an increase in public infrastructure spending. \n?Unexpected ?demonetisation??the phasing out of large-denomination currency notes which were subsequently replaced with new ones?weighed on growth in the third quarter of FY2017\,? the World Bank said. \nWeak industrial production and manufacturing and services purchasing managers? indexes (PMI)\, further suggest a set back to activity in the fourth quarter of FY2017\, it added. \n?For the whole of FY2017\, growth is expected to decelerate to a still robust 7.0 %.? \nIn its report\, the Bank said there has been slowdown in investment in South Asia. \n?In India\, gross fixed capital formation has been on a downward trend since 2011\, with a shift in the composition from private to public\,? it said. While public investment rose by 21 % in FY2016\, private investment (which accounts for two-thirds of the total) contracted by 1.4 %\, reducing overall investment growth to four %. \nInfrastructure demand is expected to go up to $1 trillion under the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017). \n?Going forward\, public and private investment should be supported by higher allocations in the FY2017 federal government budget to build and upgrade infrastructure\, and the setup of a $3 billion National Investment and Infrastructure Fund\,? it said. According to the Bank\, India?s steep private investment slowdown has been attributed to several factors. The need to unwind excess capacity built during the pre-financial crisis growth boom amid weak external demand (eg in the manufacturing sector) has discouraged new projects and caused investors to shelve existing projects\, it said. \n?Second\, policy uncertainty has been a factor\,? it said. \nFor example\, the stalled Land Acquisition Bill has extended project development timelines. \nLack of federal and state government coordination\, on compensation for land acquisition and environmental clearances\, has contributed to cost and time overruns. \nAlso lenders have been less willing to finance overleveraged corporates\, especially in infrastructure related sectors (eg power and other utilities\, steel\, and cement firms). \nIn particular\, the Reserve Bank of India?s 2015 corporate governance reforms in state-owned banks (which represent two-thirds of the total banking sector lending) has adversely affected lending to leveraged corporates and conglomerates\, the report said.

SUMMARY:Queen inaugrates UK-India Year of Culture
DESCRIPTION:Published on: 3:51 pm\, January 28\, 2017 by: mattersindia.com \n \n  \nQueen Elizabeth with prime minister Modi at Buckingham Palace. \nLondon: Queen Elizabeth II will host a special reception at Buckingham Palace to kick start the UK-India Year of Culture celebrations in Britain\, the Indian high commissioner here has said\, noting that the bilateral ties have merged ?truly exciting?. \nIn his address at the annual Republic Day event in London\, Indian high commissioner to the UK Y K Sinha said a number of events are being planned to mark the ?momentous? year. \n?We are very happy that 2017 is the year of Indian culture in the UK. It is also the year India marks 70 years of independence. They both go hand in hand this year as we celebrate this momentous occasion and we are very honoured by Her Majesty?s decision to start off the year with a reception at Buckingham Palace\,? Sinha said. \nThe reception is expected to take place towards the end of February\, with a formal date announcement expected in a few weeks. \n?The India-UK relationship has never looked better. It has stepped up to a level which is truly exciting\, truly encouraging. This year?s agenda in particular looks very challenging and very exciting\,? Sinha said. \nDescribing the bilateral trade in goods last year of USD 14 billion and another USD 5.3 billion in services as just the ?tip of the iceberg?\, he added: ?With the United Kingdom exiting the European Union (EU)\,I think the time has come for India and UK to again re-engage to strengthen our economic engagement.? \nThe Indian envoy was joined by Nick Hurd\, UK minister for climate change\, as the chief guest of the Republic Day celebrations at Grosvenor House hotel in central London. \nHe welcomed Sinha?s appointment as Indian high commissioner to the UK\, as a diplomat of ?seniority and experience?. \n?Republic Day marks a momentous turning point in India?s history and today we commemorate the thriving democracy it is. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the long-standing ties between our governments\,? the minister said. \n?At the heart of this relationship is our people to people ties or to use Prime Minister Modi?s phrase\, the ?living bridge? that connects our two countries. The Indian diaspora plays a crucial role in deepening UK- India links. We are committed to harnessing our natural ties and making this an enduring partnership\,? he added. \nThe event was marked by cultural performances representing different states of India. \n(source: Economic Times)
