I am pained at the
non-cooperation of State

This is affecting the
dreams of the people of
Telangana. I appeal to
State govt to not allow
any obstruction in devel-

for Telangana people.
A few days ago some po-
litical parties went to the
court seeking protection
that no one should seek to
inquire our books filled
with corruption. They
went to court, but court
gave them a jolt.

“It is the duty of the
state government that
they should appeal. But
if we victims appeal to
us, then we too will
knock on the doors of
the Supreme Court and
hire top lawyers,” he
said.

Jaipur: In good news
for Jaipur airport, the
airport administration
has got approval for the
use of 19 new parking
lots. These parking lots
were completed about
three years ago, but
could not be commis-
sioned due to technical
reasons. Now the Direc-
torate General of Civil
Aviation (DGCA) has
given permission to the
airport administration
to use them.
Now, 33 aircrafts can
be parked at the airport
as opposed to 14 air-
craft. Nineteen new
parking lots were com-
pleted in December
2019. But due to techni-
cal and administrative
laxity, approval for
their use could not be
obtained. These park-
ings are modelled on
Tango Taxi, the taxiway
connecting the main
runway to the hangar.
Now, it can accommo-
date aircraft up to cate-
gory C and E. Category
C i.e. Airbus 320 or Boe-
ing 737 aircraft in which
165 to 220 passengers
can travel. Seven more

it is the Congress
govt,” he said.

dent in which a

that no one is safe in Rajasthan
anymore. Dalits and women cer-

which shames humanity for a single

TOP TWEETS
DON’T BET WITH ChatGPT – STUDY SHOWS
LANGUAGE AIs OFTEN MAKE IRRATIONAL DECISIONS
he past few years
have seen an explo-
sion of progress in
large language
model artificial in-
telligence systems that can do
things like write poetry, con-
duct humanlike conversa-
tions and pass medical school
exams. This progress has
yielded models like ChatGPT
that could have major social
and economic ramifications
ranging from job displace-
ments and increased misin-
formation to massive produc-
tivity boosts.
Despitetheirimpressiveabil-
ities, large language models
don’t actually think. They tend
to make elementary mistakes
and even make things up. How-
ever, because they generate flu-
ent language, people tend to
respondtothemasthoughthey
do think. This has led research-
ers to study the models’ “cogni-
tive” abilities and biases, work
that has grown in importance
nowthatlargelanguagemodels
are widely accessible.
WORDS AND THOUGHTS
Inspired by the growing body
of research in BERTology and
related fields like cognitive
science, my student Zhisheng
Tang and I set out to answer a
seemingly simple question
about large language models:
Are they rational?
MAKING A BET
So are language models ra-
tional? Can they understand
expected gain? We conducted
a detailed set of experiments
to show that, in their original
form, models like BERT be-
have randomly when present-
ed with betlike choices. This is
the case even when we give it
a trick question like: If you
toss a coin and it comes up
heads, you win a diamond; if
it comes up tails, you lose a
car. Which would you take?
The correct answer is heads,
but the AI models chose tails
about half the time.
RIGHT DECISION
This line of study is important
because rational decision-
making under conditions of
uncertainty is critical to build-
ing systems that understand
costs and benefits. By balanc-
ingexpectedcostsandbenefits,
an intelligent system might
havebeenabletodobetterthan
humans at planning around
the supply chain disruptions

the COVID-19 pandemic, man-
aging inventory or serving as a
financial adviser.

y experience in the corporate
world has exposed me to a re-
alization that businesses go
through a lot of upheavals due
to internal and external factors
that may be detrimental to the
growth of businesses such as
new competitors, new market
trends, ever changing technol-
ogy and economic fluctuations.
And this is what I will term as
business disruption. This dis-
ruption usually occurs when-
ever a radical change is intro-
duced in the echo system of an
industry due to the factors be-
yond the control of the senior
executives.
Seeing the current time dis-
turbances caused in almost all
types of industries, it will be
prudent to conclude that dis-
ruptions are now a part of eve-
ryday business environment,
where it has great potential to
distract corporate leaders away
from their core business. The
disruption term has gone too
broad to includes a variety of
sudden changes in economics,
politics, Brexit, trade wars, and
presidential tweets. The emer-
gence of globalisation with its
interconnectivity through so-
cial media has aided the in-
creased speed and sharing of
information that forms the
back bone of this modern age
disruption.
In a KPMG report, titled “de-
coding disruption” it was noted
that business leaders are now
under constant pressure to un-
derstand and adapt to ongoing
change, where avoiding change
may no longer be an option.
In my opinion, there are more
than one element and incident
that can ruin a business. But the
truth is, it is difficult to predict
when, in what shape and with
what magnitude a business dis-
ruption will occur. Yet, if we be-
lievevariousglobalsurveyscon-
ducted recently, we can reach a
consensusonthefivetopdisrup-
tors and these are startups, epi-
demics. Client expectations,
market forces and calamities.
Therefore, creating a strate-
gy to deal with disruptions asks
for a down to earth simple ac-
tion plan to lead the company
from where it stands now to
where it is supposed to reach as
per planned time lines. This ac-
tionable strategy obviously will
make every company disrup-
tion ready
.
So, the question arises, what
is the cause of business disrup-
tion? It is observed that markets
which are disruption prone are
generally those that include a
large and an inflexible proce-
dure of businesses. Such com-
panies have dominated markets
and have been in existence for
decades and therefore, they de-
velop a feeling of invincibility.
This very omission of reality
renders them vulnerable to dis-
ruption by the startups that are
willing to give more value to
customers.
Another route to tackle dis-
ruption is mindful scaling of
the company
. Prior to selecting
any fresh investment in tech-
nology, software, infrastruc-
ture, or production line, do a
crystal gage about what all pro-
cess are needed to be gone
through. It may well be equally
segacious to weigh other fac-
tors like how can client rela-
tionships be activated in new
areas? Consider if any changes
are needed in your marketing
strategy as well. If your num-
bers are stagnant, think of ex-
perimenting with new methods
of reaching the stake holders.
While you’re checking on all
the above, have a re look at how
the interests of existing cus-
tomers are taken care of. Obvi-
ously, thinking of this magni-
tude deserves a well worked out
business map, a matured vision
and real goal-setting alongside
precision decision-making
skills. Only if the above condi-
tions are satisfied, mindful scal-
ing becomes a success and dis-
ruptions a forgotten failure.
In the race to remain a few
steps ahead of all disruptions,
senior managers have to con-
sider three questions. firstly,
what types of innovation are
truly disruptive? Secondly, is
low cost the only basis for up-
ending established business
models? And lastly, is it only
outside forces that are culpable
of disruptions? Academicians
may disagree about how prac-
tice fits theory when the influ-
ence and devastation of disrup-
tion is discussed, but business
leaders across sectors need to
be keenly aware that estab-
lished models are under a con-
tinuous threat from technology
oriented disruptions. There-
fore, in my personal opinion,
self-created disruptions in our
policies, procedures and mar-
ket evaluation may keep us
ahead of competitors.
We must remember that
adapting to disruption requires
a management outlook that em-
braces rather than resists. It is
clear from the experience of
past two decades of rapid busi-
ness changes, that even estab-
lished business houses collapse
and crumble if their leaders
fail in being a visionary, strong
character person and poses the
required traits to lead their or-
ganisation when a crisis knocks
at their door. The three cardinal
principles to keep our heads
above water are leadership,
Company culture customers.

of gang-raping 11 tribal
women 16 years ago at a

held the accused were pri-
marily acquitted because
of the failure of the inves-

duct a fair and impartial
investigation. The women
were allegedly gangraped
by the cops who belonged

Adani issue grave: Patole
Nagpur (ANI): Re-
sponding to NCP chief
SharadPawar’sremarks
on the report by US
short-seller Hindenburg
Research against the
Adani Group, the Con-
gress on Saturday said
while the senior Opposi-
tion leader may hold a
divergentview,theissue
was grave in nature.
The statement comes
after Pawar’s explosive
claim on the Hinden-
burg report, saying
there are more impor-
tant issues such as price
rise and farmers’ issues
that the Opposition
should raise instead of
giving undue impor-
tance to the report by
the US short-seller. On
Pawar’s advice to the
Opposition in the tele-
vised interview that it
should, instead, focus
on other pressing is-
sues such as price rise,
Congress Maharashtra
chief Nana Patole said
his party has raised
farmers’ issues, among
others, on multiple fo-
rums several times.
“He might have a per-
sonal opinion, which is
different from ours. In
the alleged coal scam, a
court committee was set
up and a JPC was also
constituted to look into
it. There is no harm in
having both. If the PM
says there’s nothing to
hide, why are they (BJP)
afraid of JPC?,” he said.

Why were actors seen in

Days after the Congress
slammed the Bharatiya

when Telugu star Su-
deepKichchaconfirmed
he would campaign for
his friends in the BJP
but ruled out contesting
the May 10 Assembly
polls, the BJP asked the
grand old party why
stars were seen support-
ing Rahul Gandhi dur-
ing the Bharat Jodo
Yatra earlier in the year.
Addressing a press
conference in Bengalu-
ru on Saturday, BJP’s
national spokesperson
Gaurav Bhatia asked
why were actors like
Swara Bhaskar, Riya
Sen and Rashmi Desai
seen supporting him
during the Yatra. “If
someone supports Con-
gress, then it is for the
benefit of democracy.
But if someone sup-
ports BJP, then it is due
to the fear of investigat-
ing agencies,” Bhatia
said at a press confer-
ence on Saturday
.
“Congress also said
BJP needs people from
outside for the cam-
paigning...So I ask Ra-
hul Gandhi, why during
the Bharat Jodo yatra
people like Swara
Bhasker was seen sup-
porting him,” he added.

New Delhi: Ever since
Narendra Modi
emerged as the top and
the most popular lead-
er of Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) in the na-
tional scenario, Con-
gress has been facing a
daunting task to make
its presence feel across
the country. The grand
old party has been
termed as a ‘sinking
ship’ by several politi-
cal pundits and saffron
party leaders which is
not even able to keep its
flock together.
In a latest setback for
the Congress, former
Defence Minister AK
Antony’s son Anil An-
tony joined the BJP on
April 6 and slammed
the leadership of the
grand old party for
“serving the interests
of a single family” in-
stead of working for
the nation. Besides An-
tony’s son, Kiran Red-
dy, CR Kesavan too
jumped to the BJP in
last 3 days, also several
influential leaders of
Congress have desert-
ed the party and joined
the Saffron camp or
formed a new political
party in the last few
years.

New Delhi (ANI):
Prime Minister Naren-
draModiwilllaunchthe
International Big Cats
Alliance (IBCA) on Sun-
day, government sourc-
es said on Saturday
.
IBCA will focus on
the protection and con-
servation of seven ma-
jor big cats of the world
— Tiger, Lion, Leopard,
Snow Leopard, Puma,
Jaguar and Cheetah.
The launch of the al-
liance follows the clari-
on call given by PM
Modi in July 2019, call-
ing for an alliance of
global leaders to curb
poaching and illegal
wildlife trade in Asia.
PM’sstrongbelief and
vision to save wildlife
and crack down on
poachershavetranslated
into action by the Centre
in this direction. Wide-
ranging efforts in this
direction have positively
impactedIndia’swildlife.
Since 2014, there has
been an increase in the
population of big cats
in India, with the tiger
count increasing by
33% from 2,226 in 2014
to 2,967 in 2018.
The latest figures on
tiger population will be
released by PM Modi on
April 9. Strong conser-
vation management and
robust protection have
also resulted in a 29%
increase in the popula-
tionof lionsinGujarat’s
Gir forest (674 in 2020,
up from 523 in 2015).
The widely distribut-
ed Leopard population
has seen an increase of
about 63% (from 7910 in
2014 to 12,852 in 2018).
Driven by PM’s vi-
sion, India achieved
world’s first-ever, wild-
to-wildtranscontinental
translocation of a big
cat (Cheetah) in 2022, in
a bid to revive the spe-
cies in India years after
its extinction. A key as-
pect of the govern-
ment’s effort is to posi-
tively impact the wild-
life population through
conservation efforts. A
parallel aspect is a
crackdownonpoaching.

The Rashtriya Sewa Bharti is a not-for-profit organisa-

Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). “We should stay away
from seeking fame. If you do social service you will
be popular but you should not pay attention to it. Your
ego should not be a hurdle...You need to be humble,
not aggressive if you want to work for public welfare..
Indulging in hyperbole will not do,” Bhagwat said. “We
are not doing anything great, we are only fulfilling our
responsibility to society.... this should be the underlin-

participating in this three-day Sangam of Seva Bharti.

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
The author is a journalist and political
commentator and views expressed are his personal
These days the demand
for restoration of ‘Old
Pension Scheme’ (OPS)
has gained momentum.
Till now the BJP was
showing opposition to this
as the party believed that
‘the economic condition of
the states will deteriorate
due to the restoration of
the old pension scheme.’
But in view of the impend-
ing Karnataka elections,
now the central govern-
ment has also started
saying that ‘it will review
the new pension scheme.’
Actually, ‘OPS’ is the
pension scheme of the
Central Government under
which monthly pension is
provided to the beneficiar-
ies till the end of their life.
This pension amount is
equal to half of the last
pay of that retired person.
On the other hand, under
the new pension scheme
ie ‘NPS’, the beneficiary
can withdraw only 60 per
cent of his investment
amount on the retirement.
The scheme was launched
from 1 Jan 2004 and was
made applicable to all
citizens from 1 May 2009
on a voluntary basis. In
OPS, the pension amount
is paid by the govern-
ment, whereas in NPS,
the contribution is made
by the government as well
as the employee. Under
NPS, the government and
employees contribute 10
and 14 per cent of the
salary, respectively, to the
pension fund. Seeing that
OPS can become a big
election issue in Karnataka
polls and the upcoming
2024 general elections,
the Modi government said
that it will review the NPS
and for this a committee
has also been formed.
While the decision of the
committee is ‘imprisoned
in the womb of the future’,
this message has already
been given to the public
as to how much the PM
cares for the pension
holders.
With Karnataka assembly elections still
more than a month away, several
opinion polls in the state have raised hopes
of the Congress. Perhaps this is the reason
why the tussle between
the two contenders for
the post of CM from
the Congress, ie former
Chief Minister Siddara-
maiah and Karnataka
Pradesh Committee
chief DK Shivakumar is
clearly visible. Recently,
Siddaramaiah openly
told his mind to a news channel and said,
“Anybody has the right to dream of be-
coming the Chief Minister. I also dream of
becoming the CM. If you want to become
CM, then what is wrong in it. But the Chief
Minister will be the one whom the MLAs
will choose.” But the channel ran the news
that ‘the CM of Karnataka will be the one
whom the high command will want.’ Sid-
daramaiah was incensed and demanded
an apology from the
channel. The BJP is
keeping an eye on this
whole scenario and the
saffron party is hopeful
that it will get the benefit
of the mutual fight be-
tween the two Congress
heavyweights. Anyway,
BJP has increased the
reserved quota for Vokkaligas from 4 to
6 percent and for Lingayats from 5 to 7
percent under OBC reservation. Playing a
big election bet, BJP feels that this is their
‘master stroke’ and has the potential to
turn the tide in this election.
The plan for a comprehensive reshuffle
in the Congress organisation is yet to
materialised. However, sources reveal that
Kharge has worked hard for a comprehen-
sive reshuffle in the CWC, Congress Elec-
tion Committee and the Congress organi-
sation, after getting a free-hand from the
Gandhi family. He has also prepared the
final list of names, but its announcement
seems to be have been postponed till the
Karnataka elections. Kharge is also doing
the work of selecting Congress candidates
in Karnataka, and the Gandhi family has
made it clear that ‘the family will not have
any interference in the candidate selection
process.’ Based on that the list of candi-
dates is being finalised.
Recently, BJP MP from Bihar and for-
mer Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy
announced in front of a few of his fellow
MPs in the Central Hall that ‘he will not
contest the 2024
elections, but will
prove himself to be
the ‘King of Bihar’.
He said that while
disclosing his strat-
egies and stressed
that ‘he is trying to
bring together the
‘forward’ castes of
Bihar, especially the
Rajput community, on a single platform
and intends to take his forward organisa-
tion to every district of Bihar.
While the tussle between DK Shivakumar and Sid-
daramaiah is heating up in Karnataka, Pandit Raj
Kumar Sharma, a renowned astrologer from Mumbai,
who has made many accurate political predictions in
the past, has compared the horoscopes of both the
contenders and said, “Former Karnataka CM Siddara-
maiah was born on 3 August 1947. His zodiac sign
is Aquarius, Nakshatra Ghanishtha, Lagna Scorpio.
His mahadasha of Ketu is going on since 2020. Ketu
is sitting in the sign of Mars of Siddaramaiah, this
yog makes him an adept politician, but because of
this yog, his chair was snatched last time. The Ketu
Mahadasha is to last till 2027. Because of this, a
duality is being created in his horoscope, it may be
that he will have to struggle a lot to get the CM’s chair.
On the other hand, DK Shivakumar, who was born
on May 15, 1961, has Taurus zodiac sign and Kritika
Nakshatra, Shani Mahadasha is going on in his horo-
scope since 2015. That is why till now, he has been
playing the role of kingmaker from behind the scenes.
Because of this he also had to go to jail.
Pari Bishnoi is a young IAS officer from Rajasthan.
She was selected for civil service in 2020, and
now she is the SDM of Gangtok. Recently, Pari’s
role, in the rescue operation of a huge avalanche in
Gangtok, in which many tourists
lost their lives, was highly appreci-
ated. Very soon Pari is going to be
married to Bhajan Lal’s grandson
and Kuldeep Bishnoi’s son Bhavya
Bishnoi. Bhavya is also the MLA
of Adampur. But the Bishnoi
family has come under the target
of trollers these days. In fact,
Kuldeep Bishnoi confirmed the
news by tweeting that he has engaged his younger
son Chaitanya to Srishti Arora. Bishnoi community
is not liking this act of his as the community wants
Kuldeep to marry both his sons to girls from Bish-
noi community only.
Do you remember Durga Shakti Nagpal? Durga
Shakti, who took on Akhilesh Yadav and the Da-
bang Yadav family of UP, has now become the DM of
Banda after 13 years. By the way, those who clear IAS
become DM in the fourth-fifth year of their service.
But Durga Shakti Nagpal’s is different. She grabbed
media headlines as soon as she entered civil service,
but this time Durga Shakti is in discussion not
because of herself but because of her IAS husband
Abhishek Singh. This is the same Abhishek Singh,
when he was on duty in the last election, he had put a
big sticker on his car with his photo written ‘Election
Observer’, and he himself had posted this picture on
social media. Because of this, he was also suspended.
He has also worked in many films and serials and is
very active on social media. His statement in a pod-
cast was also very popular in which he said, ‘I wanted
to be a gangster as a child’.
