ADITI NAGAR
the past 9 years,
since becoming
Prime Minister,
Narendra Modi
has visited the
‘powerful’ United States of
Amercia 6 times during the pres-
idency of 3 Presidents — Barak
Obama, Donald Trump and Joe
Biden. And over these 9 years,
Modi ‘charisma’ also gripped
not just the US Presidency and
the oval office, but even the
American public. The growing
power and craze of the Indian
Prime Minister has resulted, for
the 1st time in 9 years, of Modi
being on a ‘State Visit’, an hon-
our reserved for America’s clos-
est allies and friends! This is also
a stamp on the growing Indo-US
relations which are being helmed
by PM Modi, as the world has
started acknowledging India’s
growing global role and humane
approach to issues.
Not only will this visit be a
watershed moment for US-India
ties, with deals expected in
semi-conductor and defence
technologies, but will also be
the third world leader who
would have addressed the US
Congress for the 2nd time; a
huge honour!

GOOD THING
IN GEN Z
Majority of them have no stigma
attached regarding their mental
health but their obsession to-
wards material gains may create
hindrance to attain peace in life.
Gen Z is a tech savvy genera-
tion but the world in which it
is growing has turned highly
confusing, intolerant, hateful
and selfish. This generation,
perhaps, needs more care
specifically in the field of
psychology, intellectualism,
spirituality and social bonding.
The generation has lot of poten-
tial in a significant percentage of
its members but would the Baby
Boomers, Gen X and Millennials
be able to guide it to become
a generation of constructive
people or let it be decimated
by desires of material gains
and hateful self isolation?
GENZ
NEEDS
MORE
CARE,
PERHAPS!
arious genera-
tions started get-
ting their names
after The Great
War (World War
One) when Gertrude Stein de-
scribed American authors and
thinkers who migrated to Eu-
rope because of the war. In her
letter to Ernest Hemingway
Stein described them as be-
longing to a “lost generation”
because the values they taught
seems to have lost relevance
amidst the grim reality of a bru-
tal war as America, according
to these authors, became hope-
lessly intolerant, materialistic
and spiritually empty.
After that came generation
Jones or Baby Boomers born
between 1955-1964, Gen X
(1965-1980),Millennials(1981-
1996) and Gen Z born between
1997- 2012. The current age of
Gen Z is between 11 to 26 years.
Gen Z has witnessed a rapidly
changing world because of
strides by information technol-
ogyanddestructionofsociallife
as a result of changing human
behaviour. Changing social val-
ues and societal structure both
are responsible for disappearing
role models as overall human
behaviour has become icono-
clastic during last three decades.
Alongwiththesechangesatbase
level, this generation has also
witnessed excessive violence
after 9/11 attack on American
targets.PartsofAsiawhichwere
once destination of economic
well-being have become den of
criminals and vile politicians.
Countries like Iran, Iraq,
Libya and Syria were once des-
tination for fortune. Gen Z has
seen them decimated by war
and violence. Most of Africa is
in perpetual conflict and now,
with the Russia Ukraine con-
flict, Europe is also sinking low
in life standard and opportuni-
ties. Exposure to sexual harras-
ment, assault and pornography
are negatively impacting the
growing brain of this genera-
tion with very weird interper-
sonal behavior. As the mobile
device has become the pre-
ferred companion and, in many
cases, perhaps the only com-
pany, such an exposure might
lead to highly destructive mor-
al ethics in the near future.
Gen Z has to cope with Cov-
id-19 epidemic during its
growing years, the sense of in-
security, fear and isolation may
linger for a long period of time
as the psychological support
was minimal at the best. It has
also suffered loss of dear ones
during very critical age under
very sad circumstances as there
was no one to console.Absence
of society at saddest moments
of life may take many of Gen Z
youngsters away from the very
concept of society and people
working in the field of psychol-
ogy are encountering highly
explosive behaviour trends es-
pecially in fields of material-
ism, sexuality, individualism
and morality.
As can be inferred easily,
these behaviour trends have
weak foundation. This has cre-
ated a very volatile situation.
Many recent studies indicate a
disturbing trend. As per one
global study, various data col-
lected between 2009 and 2017
indicate that rate of depression
and anxiety has gone up by 47
percent in children between
age group 12-13, 60 percent in
14-17 and 46 percent in adults
between 18-22 years of age.
One study concluded in 2018
indicates that youngsters be-
tween 13-17 years may have
passed through some sorts of
anxiety and depression in as
much as 70 percent population
of the group.
There was one more study
on adolescent suicides which
clearly indicated that suicide
rates in young adults has gone
up from 8 per 1,00,000 during
2,000 to 11.8 per 1,00,000 in
2017. Parental over expecta-
tions, peer pressure, negativity,
hate coching by parents or
mentors, fear creating videos
and isolationist lifestyle are
amongst the main culprits. Re-
ligious hate alongwith race and
caste discrimination are now
emerging as dangerous traits in
highly confused and poorly in-
formed members of Gen Z.
Politicians, parents, mentors,
thinkers all have their share of
blame. The outcome can be
highly destructive if the status
quo is maintained.
One good thing in Gen Z is
that majority of them have no
stigma attached regarding their
mental health but their obses-
sion towards material gains
may create hindrance to attain
peace in life. Gen Z is a tech
savvy generation but the world
in which it is growing has
turned highly confusing, intol-
erant, hateful and selfish. This
generation, perhaps, needs
more care specifically in the
field of psychology, intellectu-
alism, spirituality and social
bonding. The generation has
lot of potential in a significant
percentage of its members but
would the Baby Boomers, Gen
X and Millennials be able to
guide it to become a generation
of constructive people or let it
be decimated by desires of ma-
terial gains and hateful self
isolation?

Meena made a serious
allegation against PHED

PHED Additional Chief

wal. “PHED department

Both these firms copied

ence certificates prepared
on the same,” he alleged.
“Ganpati Tubewell has
obtained work orders
worth `900 crore in 2
years. IRCON informed
the PHED officials about
this forgery but no action
was taken”, Meena said.
FIR WILL BE LODGED AGAINST ACS SUBODH: MEENA
Kirodi Lal Meena also wrote a letter to ACS Subodh
Agarwal informing about the matter but due to the
connivance of the officials, no action was taken, he
said. “An FIR will be lodged against ACS Subodh Agrawal
in the concerned police station and after that a memorandum
will be submitted to the nodal officer of Central Vigilance
Commission (CVC) demanding investigation,” Meena said.
PHED REFUTES ALLEGATIONS BY MEENA
The PHED rebutted the allegations of Kirodi Lal
Meena. In a release issued, it has been told that under
the mission, water connections have been given to
31.27 lakh rural houses in Rajasthan after December 2019 by
spending a total of `16,500 crore. In such a situation, there is
no basis in the allegations related to `20,000 crore. Also, an
inquiry was conducted and the documents were found correct.

DIYA WRITES TO UNION MINISTER
Weekly offs won’t help tiger reserves: Diya
First India Bureau
Jaipur
JP MP Diya
Kumari has re-
quested Union
minister Bhupender Ya-
dav to reconsider the de-
cision to have a weekly
off in tiger reserves, say-
ing such a closure in ad-
dition to the mandatory
92-day monsoon shut-
down would affect the
tourism-based local
economy.
“Tiger reserves are
closed for 92 days every
year during the monsoon.
The provision of weekly
offs would further reduce
the number of days tour-
ism can be allowed. This
would affect the tourism-
based local economy,”
the MP from Rajsamand
in Rajasthan said.
Kumari, a member of
the National Tiger Con-
servation Authority, said
the provision of weekly
offs would not serve any
conservation purpose
and staffers can be given
weekly offs on a rota-
tional basis. She said she
has requested the Union
minister for environ-
ment, forest and climate
change to reconsider the
issue and advise the
NTCA to withdraw its
order that will come into
effect from July 1, 2023.

The most notable aspect
about the IAS transfer list
issued on Saturday has
been the empowerment
of Child Empowerment
department and 2005
batch IAS Arushi Malik
has been made the 'chief'
of the department as she
will handle the responsi-
bilities, both of Secretary
and Commissioner. This
is for the first time that a
full time and independent
Secretary has been ap-
pointed as till now Joint
Secretary and Special
Secretary used to handle
the reins. From Decem-
ber 2021, Samit Sharma
held the additional charge
of Secretary. Arushi Ma-
lik is a MBBS doctor and
after undergoing a one
year long medical educa-
tion in USA, she has re-
turned to the state this
month. It was being
hoped that she would be
given some assignment in
medical sector.
In the transfer list,
Samit Sharma's burden
has been lessened. Till
few months back, he had
theburdenofthreedepart-
ments - Secretary, Social
Justice,Secretary,Women
andChilddepartment,and
Secretary Child Rights
(Empowerment). After a
controversy arose, the
charge of Women and
Child development was
taken from him in Febru-
ary 2023. And in the re-
cent list, the responsibility
of Child Rights depart-
ment has also been taken
from him.
The appointment of
Bhanu Prakash Yeturu,
once again, in the Home
department as Secretary,
has become a topic of dis-
cussion. He was given the
additional charge in July
2022 and thereafter in Oc-
tober, he was made the
Secretary but within six
monthshewastransferred
out of the department. In
Principal Secretary
(Home) Anand Kumar's
team, now there are two
Secretaries, one special
secretary and one joint
secretary.
2013 batch IAS Shruti
Bhardwaj has been trans-
ferred out of Water Re-
sources department after
two years and now she
has been given the re-
sponsibility of Project Di-
rector of Samagra Shik-
shaAbhiyanintheEduca-
tion department. This is
an important campaign
worth crores of rupees
which has a sixty percent
partnership of the central
government.And thus the
post of Project Director in
the campaign is consid-
ered an important and
high position.
Actually, the chief of
Education Department is
the head of campaign but
when Pawan Goyal was
ACSofthedepartment,he
had transferred all his
power to the then Project
Director Mohan Lal Ya-
dav. It is this posted with
delegated powers on
which Shruti Bhardwaj
has come.
Avdhesh Meena has
been transferred for the
third time this year and
has been now posted in
Home department. In his
place, appointment of H
Guite in the specially
abled department is a talk
of the town. Guite has re-
turned after spending
three years in Manipur on
Home deputation. Now,
the new IAS list, which
will come with the ap-
pointment of new Chief
Secretarywillbeextreme-
ly important and is thus
being awaited eagerly.

n the
world of
fashion,
t r e n d s
come and
go, but one
timeless and enchanting
style that continues to cap-
tivate hearts is the floral
gown. These exquisite cre-
ations are a celebration of
nature’s vibrant beauty,
bringing the allure of blos-
soms and botanicals to life
on the runway and in ward-
robes worldwide. With
their delicate patterns and
romantic motifs, floral
gowns have become a sym-
bol of femininity, grace,
and a deep connection to
the natural world. Let’s em-
bark on a journey through
the enchanting realm of flo-
ral gowns and explore the
reasons why they remain
perennial favorites among
fashion enthusiasts.
Floral gowns have been
adorning women for centu-
ries, transcending cultural
boundaries and geographi-
cal borders. From delicate,
hand-painted designs on
ancient textiles to modern
digital prints, the allure of
flowers has always found
its way into fashion. Today,
floral gowns continue to
reign supreme, evolving
with the changing times
while preserving their ever-
lasting charm.
Flowers have long been
associated with symbolism
and emotions, each blos-
som telling a unique story.
Floral gowns enable indi-
viduals to express their per-
sonalities and sentiments
through the language of
flowers.Whetherit’sthein-
nocence of daisies, the pas-
sion of roses, or the exotic
allure of orchids, the choice
of floral patterns in gowns
allows wearers to convey
their moods and make a
captivating statement
without saying a word.
One of the most fasci-
nating aspects of floral
gowns is the vast spec-
trum of colors they em-
brace. From vibrant and
bold hues to soft pastels
and ethereal whites, floral
prints effortlessly encom-
pass nature’s kaleido-
scope. Designers skillful-
ly use color combinations
to evoke specific emo-
tions and set the mood of
a garment. Whether it’s a
vividgardenofwildflowers
oraserenebouquetoflilies,
the colors within floral
gowns add depth, warmth,
and a touch of whimsy.
Floral gowns are incred-
ibly versatile, adapting to
various occasions and per-
sonal styles. Whether
you’re attending a summer
garden party, a formal
event, or simply seeking an
ensemble to brighten your
day, a floral gown is a ver-
satile choice that can be
dressed up or down. From
flowing maxi dresses to tai-
lored cocktail gowns, the
optionsareendless.Moreo-
ver, floral gowns celebrate
the essence of femininity
and accentuate the natural
beauty of those who wear
them. The soft lines and
intricate details of floral
patterns enhance a
woman’s silhouette,
highlighting her
curves and exud-
ing an air of
gracefulness.
T h e s e
g o w n s
embrace the
concept of embrac-
ing one’s inner femininity,
empoweringwomentoem-
brace their individuality.

TACKLING CONFLICTS
Conflict is ubiquitous, as he
mentioned. It can exist be-
tween individuals of differ-
ent ages, religions, and sub-
groups of various ethnicities
of society. One group may
be advanced and the other,
very primitive.
Also, the present society
is gradually becoming self-
centric. It has been suffer-
ing from a vicious dichoto-
my wherein two different
forces are working simulta-
neously in opposite direc-
tions. On one side is mod-
ernization and keeping
abreast with the changing
times but at the same time
one cannot rule out the tra-
ditional values. So, tradi-
tions influence our society
to a large extent. This
quandary has led to a major
discontentment in our soci-
ety further giving rise to a
widespread conflict.
The initial stage is identi-
fying the genesis of the con-
flict. A conflict is dynamic.
Police have the job of up-
holding the Constitution and
the law of the land. So in the
quest of maintaining law and
order, at the outset, police
identify the roots of the
problem, then graduate to
detailed assessment and de-
liberately decide the further
courses of action.
Kinetic Ops and legal ac-
tion take their due course,
however, on the other paral-
lel, we apply the system of
negotiations, peace talks,
and mutual discussions,
winning hearts and minds
and finally penetrating the
community and earning
their faith.
One needs to objectively
look at the situation at
hand. Why would a young
boy pick up arms? He is the
Son of Soil who is, more
often than not, an unedu-
cated, hardworking yet
simple and humble soul. He
has been manipulated by
forces having sinister anti-
administration interests. He
feels aggrieved and choos-
es the path of violence liv-
ing in the jungles in oblivi-
on, having no soft skills and
suddenly you try to per-
suade him to give up arms
and return, he would prob-
ably not do that.
He lacks faith in the sys-
tem. He is concerned for his
safety and the safety of his
family.
Therefore, we always
keep our fists in a velvet
glove. We instil and ensure
such faith and confidence in
that boy that he feels safe in
our hands. Hence, our cred-
ibility is of the essence.
LAY DOWN ARMS
Assam was ravaged by
militancy for donkeys ears.
So we took multiple deci-
sions on how to control it.
One was as a law enforce-
ment agency, so we contin-
ued counter-insurgency
operations which were un-
der the unified command
structure and there was no
compromise against some-
body who is holding a gun
against the unity and integ-
rity of the country and we
have to come upon them
heavily.
However, at times we
must also show them the
path of surrendering and
rehabilitation and come
into the mainstream hence
the peace talk must con-
tinue that either they face
the consequences or come
for a peace talk.
Recently, 1,179 Bru-Re-
ang militants lay down arms
at arms laying cere-
mony in As-
sam’s Haila-
kandi.
Approxi-
mately 7000
militants and
extremists

unveiled the organ dona-
tion flag designed by
Mohan Foundation
Jaipur Citizen Forum
(MF-JCF) and dedicated
the flag to all organ do-
nors and people working
in this field.
During the unveiling
ceremony, Rajiv Arora,
President of MF-JCF and
Chairman of RAJSICO
emphasized the stark
contrast between the de-
mand for organ trans-
plants and the availability
of organs in India. He
highlighted the statistics
showing a disparity be-
tween India and other
countries, such as Spain,
Croatia, and the United
States, where organ do-
nation rates per million
population are consider-
ably higher.
Arora commended the
Mohan Foundation
Jaipur Citizen Forum for
their commendable ef-
forts in raising public
awareness about organ
donation throughout the
country. He noted that
while several organ do-
nation NGOs in Western
countries have their offi-
cial flags, India did not
have one until now. Tak-
ing the initiative, MF-
JCF has dedicated a flag
for organ and eye dona-
tion in India.
The organ donation
flag will be hoisted at
two locations in the state
of Rajasthan: the Organ
Donor Memorial and the
Eye Donor Wall in
Jaipur. Going forward,
whenever an organ dona-
tion takes place in Ra-
jasthan, MF-JCF will
wrap the body of the or-
gan donor in the flag as a
mark of respect and pre-
sent it to the donor’s
family. Subsequently,
before the cremation, the
flag will be removed
from the body and raised
at the donor’s home.
MF-JCF intends to en-
courage all organ trans-
plant hospitals in Ra-
jasthan to hoist this flag
to raise awareness about
organ donation.
The event was attend-
ed by various dignitaries,
including MF-JCF Presi-
dent Rajiv Arora, Con-
venor Bhavna Jagwani,
Director Govind Gurba-
ni, Renu Singh, Dr San-
jana Bhojwani, Thakur-
