Rahul Gandhi alleges democracy destroyed in 2014, targets BJP and Centre
New Delhi, Nov 14:Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that democracy in India was destroyed in 2014, accusing the BJP-led government of compromising electoral and democratic institutions to retain power. Addressing an event in Hyderabad, Rahul Gandhi questioned the legitimacy of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, claiming that 140 million voters who participated in the polls had subsequently been declared non-existent or non-voters. If the Election Commission has declared 140 million voters illegal non-voters, then how is that election possibly legitimate? he asked, according to The Week. Citing Maharashtra, Rahul Gandhi alleged that seven million new voters were added to the electoral rolls within three months and all of them voted for the BJP, helping the party win the Assembly elections despite his alliance securing a similar vote share in the Lok Sabha polls. He alleged that Indias electoral system underwent a fundamental change in 2014 with the infusion of huge amounts of money into politics. We discovered it, and we have proven it without any doubt is that democracy was destroyed in India in 2014, he said aas reported by regional media. Rahul Gandhi also alleged a nexus between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani, claiming that the distinction between business and politics had disappeared. He further claimed that the BJPs assets had grown elevenfold in a decade and accused the ruling party of weakening institutions and denying the Opposition a level playing field.

Rising education spending fails to translate into better learning outcomes: Experts
Srinagar, Nov 14: A sharp rise in public expenditure on education has failed to deliver corresponding improvements in learning outcomes. The experts flagged the inefficient utilisation of funds, uneven teacher deployment and gaps in accountability as major challenges confronting Indias school education system. The issue came into focus at the 13th School Choice National Conference (SCNC), organised by the Centre for Civil Society (CCS) at FICCI, New Delhi. The policymakers, educationists and researchers have called for shifting the focus of education financing from infrastructure and administrative inputs to measurable learning outcomes. During the conference, the experts stressed that combined education spending by the Centre and states increased from Rs 5.8 lakh crore in 2020-21 to around Rs 9.2 lakh crore in 2024-25. The Union Budget allocation for school education also rose from Rs 54,800 crore in 2021-22 to Rs 83,562 crore in 2026-27. Despite the increased spending, learning outcomes have not kept pace, even as enrolment patterns indicate a growing preference for private schools. Addressing the conference, Advisor to J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Nasir Aslam Wani, said the challenge facing the education system had shifted from bringing every child to school to ensuring that every child learns, irrespective of the institution they attend. Referring to the 1968 National Policy on Education, Wani said the priority then was to ensure access to schools, while the question in 2026 was whether every child was actually learning. He said that education expenditure must move beyond infrastructure creation and focus on teachers and human resources besides pointing out serious mismatches in teacher deployment, with some schools having teachers but no students, while others have students but no teachers. He called for addressing these imbalances and highlighted the importance of skill development and employability alongside strengthening school and higher education. During the conference, a report on tracing the Public Financing of School Education in India was released, which tracked public expenditure across five statesAssam, Bihar, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradeshover seven budget cycles from 2018-19 to 2024-25. The report exposed a significant imbalance in education spending, finding that salaries, grants and running costs accounted for between 92 and nearly 99 percent of school education expenditure across the states studied. It also flagged persistent gaps in reimbursement to private schools under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. As per the report, the reimbursement rates in 2024-25 ranged from just 11.5 percent of per-child expenditure in Uttar Pradesh to 77.7 percent in Assam. In his keynote address, Secretary, Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, V Vualnam said the country had a vast school education network comprising 14.67 lakh schools and 1.03 crore teachers. He questioned whether increasing layers of monitoring through biometrics, photographs and applications could adequately measure the actual effectiveness of teaching. During a discussion on public financing, speakers also questioned whether increasing allocations alone could improve education, pointing out that the relationship between resources, teaching quality and actual learning remained poorly understood. The conference further highlighted the fragmented structure of Indias school system. Former Secretary Department of School Education and Literacy, (DSEL) Sanjay Kumar said that while the Right to Education Act had delivered access, it was yet to deliver learning. He also pointed out that only about one in nine schools offered education up to Class 12, forcing many students to change institutions as they progressed. Around three in four children undergo three or more admissions between Classes 1 and 12, he added.
He said, We are proud Indians, you will find us in every corner of the airports it is our aim to take India to the west, via our cuisine and our culture from dishes to dance.

T20 Trophy Super League: Disha Kasats unbeaten 91 took Vidarbha to an eight-wicket win over Delhi in the first round of the Senior Womens T20 Trophy Super League stage on Saturday. It was also a day when defending champions Maharashtra, Railways and Karnataka also tasted success. Disha, who will turn out for Mumbai Indians in the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL), hit 10 sixes and two fours in her 54-ball knock in Vidarbhas victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ground B. After Delhi made 169/5, Vidarbha completed the chase in 17.3 overs. Skipper Mona Meshram stood firm at the other end and remained not out on 43 from 24 balls. Mona and Disha added an unbroken 106-run stand for the third wicket, with the latter taking the Player of the Match award. Boundaries made up 68 of Dishas 91 runs, thus underlining how thoroughly she dominated the Delhi bowling attack. Delhi, who chose to bat after winning the toss, were given a solid base by in-form batter Tanisha Singh, who remained not out on 78. Shweta Sherawat added 35, but the total was never going to be enough against Dishas onslaught. Yashshri Soley was the pick of Vidarbha bowlers with 2-34. Vidarbha will next take on Karnataka on Monday. Elsewhere, at the Gujarat College Cricket Ground 'A', the Smriti Mandhana-led Maharashtra beat Andhra by 48 runs. They posted 161/6 in 20 overs, with Gautami Naik top-scoring with 34, and then restricted Andhra to 113/9. Dnyaneshwari Patil led the attack with 3-19, while Anuja Patil chipped in with both bat and ball after making 31, she picked 2-22. In the third clash of the day, Mumbai made 157/9 in 20 overs, thanks to the efforts of Simran Shaikh (48) and Sanika Chalke (43). For Railways, off-spin bowling all-rounder Sneh Rana took 4-28, while Renuka Singh Thakur took 2-19. In reply, Railways completed the chase with a ball to spare. Opener Pratika Rawal was in blistering mode smashing 86 off 52 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes. Sneh followed up her bowling efforts by hitting an unbeaten 37 off 30 balls to get Railways up and running with a win. Elsewhere, Karnataka beat Baroda by five wickets, with off-spinner Shreyanka Patil taking 3-19. Her efforts, along with Ananya Hegdes 2-26, dismantled the Baroda batting line-up as they were bowled out for 137 in 19.4 overs. In the chase, Vrinda Dinesh set the tone for the successful chase by hitting 49 off just 16 balls, laced with four fours and five sixes, while Niki Prasad was another notable contributor with a 17-ball 31, as Karnataka got home in 13.3 overs.

Digital Desk | Gangtok, Nov14 (IANS) The 49th Junior (U-19) National Badminton Championships got underway here on Saturday, marking a significant milestone for Indian badminton as the tournament becomes the first national championship in the country to feature an all-women panel of chair umpires.

Our objective is to create a larger pool of qualified and experienced women umpires in the country and provide them with opportunities to officiate at major national events. This initiative will also inspire more women to pursue umpiring as a career, Mishra added.

NCP merger talks ended after Ajit Pawar's death, says Supriya Sule
NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule on Saturday said the merger discussions between the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party ended for her after her cousin Ajit Pawar's death, and she had not received any communication from the other side on the issue.

When my brother (then NCP chief Ajit Pawar) was alive, there were discussions about a merger. A date had also been decided. But the day my brother passed away, the merger issue came to a full stop for me and within our party, Sule told reporters. There has been no discussion on joining the NDA. When there has been no beginning, where does the question of a full stop arise? she said when asked if she had also put a full stop to the talk of her party joining the ruling alliance at the Centre.
