Frame email policy for officials within a month: Delhi High Court to governmen 

 

The Centre was today asked by the Delhi High Court to finalise within a month its email policy for government employees in consonance with the Public Records Act so that official data is not transferred to a server outside India. 

The court also asked the government to issue notification regarding electronic signature which is required for sending a complaint through email to Facebook, on a plea alleging that the social network website is adopting the cumbersome procedure for users to send a complaint to its grievance officer. 
A bench of justices B D Ahmed and Vibhu Bakhru recorded the submission of Centre's standing counsel Sumit Pushkarna that process for framing the email policy for government employees is on and it has sought opinion from various ministries on it which would take two months time. 
"... We hope that the said policy will put in place in four weeks," the bench said. 
The court was hearing a PIL filed by former BJP leader N Govindacharya contending that for official purposes, the officers use Gmail accounts whose servers are outside India and transfer of country's official data is violative of the Public Records Act. 
The petition also sought a direction to ensure safety of the data of 50 million Indian users which was transferred "to the US and is being used for commercial gains in violation of the right to privacy."

COMING, PRIVATISATION OF RAILWAY PASSENGER SEGMENT 

 

Dated 30 th October 2013
The Railways on Tuesday set the ball rolling for privatising its passenger segment on its existing infrastructure with the launch of theHigh Speed Rail Corporation (HSRC).
Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge launched the HSRC as a fully-owned subsidiary of Rail Vikas Nigam Limited, which his predecessor Nitish Kumar had set up with the objective of raising extra budgetary resources — from the market and private investors.Mr. Kharge, however, issued a word of caution against adopting new technology.
NO TECHNOLOGY FOR GRATIS
“You should not buy horses merely because horse shoes are freely available,” was Mr. Kharge’s caution. He stressed how technology could be made available for even free. “At times they tell us how cheap it is. The question is whether it suits us or not, not whether it is cheap or free.” He launched the corporation at an “International Conference on HighSpeed Rail Travel — Low Cost Solutions.”
Mr. Kharge, however, underlined the need for high speed rail while focusing on providing a mass mode of safe, reliable and affordable transport. Railway Board Chairman Arunendra Kumar said the Corporation, as the implementing agency, would contribute in the joint venture to be formed under the Public Private Partnership mode. The other stakeholders could be the State governments and private investors, explained corporation chairman Satish Agnihotri.
SEVEN ROUTES
The Railways have identified seven routes — all commercially viable — on which the mini high speed trains with a speed of 160 km per hour to 200km per hour would be operated under the PPP mode. Officials maintained a stoic silence when asked if the railways were giving away the most viable routes to the private sector.Some of the routes identified are Ahmedabad-Mumbai, Amritsar-Ludhiana-Chandigarh-Delhi, Agra-Lucknow-Varanasi-Patna, Chennai-Thiruvananthapuram and Bangalore-Chennai. The first project to be implemented under the scheme will be the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route.

Revision of 1/3rd commutation pension i.r.o CPSE/CAB absorbee: Pensioner Portal Order 

 

No.4/30/2010-P&PW(D)
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare
Lok Nayak Bhavan, Khan Market,
New Delhi-110003,
Dated the 28th October, 2013
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Revision of 1/3rd commuted pension portion of pension in respect of Government servants who had drawn lump sum payment on absorption in Central Public Sector Undertakings/Central Autonomous Bodies-Implements of Government's decision on the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission.



The undersigned is directed to say that orders have been issued vide this Department's OM of even number dated 11.7.2013 for revision of 1/3rd restored pension of absorbees w.e.f. 1.1.2006 by multiplying pre-revised 1/3rdpension by a factor of 2.26, if it is more beneficial than the revised 1/3rd restored pension as per this Department's O.M. No.4/38/2008-P&PW(D) dated 15.9.2008. These orders have been issued in compliance of the order dated 27.9.2011 of the CAT Hyderabad Bench in OA NO.710/2010 read with their order dated 22.4.2013 in C.P. 26/2012.
2. Representations have been received from the absorbees pensioners, who had taken lump-sum payment in lieu of 100% pro-rata pension on absorption, that the benefit allowed to the absorbee pensioners in terms of
O.M. dated 11.7.2013 is not adequate. These representations have been examined in this Department. The main thrust of these representation is that the 1/3rd restored pension may be revised w.e.f. 1.1.2006 by adding dearness pension and dearness relief as on 1.1.2006 alongwith 40% fitment benefit to the pre-revised 1/3rd restored pension.
3. The matter has been examined in this Department. The instructions for revision of 1/3rd pension were issued by this Department's O.M. No.4/38/2008-P&PW(D) dated 15.9.2008, keeping in view the formula laid down by Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh in its judgement dated 24.12.2003 which was accepted in Supreme Court judgment dated 29.11.2006 and 24.7.2007.  Hon'ble CAT, Hyderabad Bench in its order dated 27.9.2011 in OA 710/2010 inter-alia observed that the a.M. dated 15.9.2008 was legally sustainable.  However, the Hon'ble CAT directed to pass an order so as to equalize the revised 1/3rd restored pension of absorbees with the revised pension of otherCentral Government pensioners.
4. Keeping in view the above direction of Hon'ble CAT, Hyderabad Bench, which was upheld by High Court of Andhra Pradesh and Supreme Court, orders were issued vide this Department's C.M. of even number dated 11.7.2013 to revise 1/3rd restored pension of absorbee pensioners to 2.26 times of the pre-revised 1/3rd restoredpension. This is explained by the following example:
Pre-2006 full pension
Pre-2006 1/3rd restored pension
Revised full pension(for DR, etc.)
Revised 1/3rd restored pension in terms of OM dated 15.9.2008
Revised 1/3rd  restored pension in terms of OM dated 11.7.2013
4073
3173
9207
6492
7173
  The above formula for revision of 1/3rd pension is also in conformity with the demand made by the staff side in the meeting of National Council (JCM) held on 6.11.2012.
5. In view of the above position, no further change in the 1/3rd restored pension of the absorbee pensioners (who had drawn lump-sum payment of absorption in Central Public Undertaking/Central Autonomous Body) is required to be made. All the representations made by the absrobee pensioners and their Associations in this regard stand disposed off accordingly. All Ministries/All Departments are requested to inform the above
position to the absorbee pensioners.

Unorganised workers' body opposes 7th pay commission 

 

Opposing the central government's recent decision of setting up seventh pay commission for central government employees, Samajwadi Jan Parishad - a body of unorganised sector workers - today said that the government should rollback the announcement.
The organisation staged demonstrations in front of district collector's office here in the city. Addressing the gathering, its leader and social activist - Subash Lomte - said that the government had obliged only 7% of the total employees in the county working under its umbrella. "But it has nothing to offer to the remaining 93%," he said.
"There several instances where unorganised workers are being paid Rs 2,500 per month despite working for more than seven to eight hours a day," he said. He said that all the unorganised workers' salaries should be at par with class four employees of the central government.

 

Govt. mulls ban of official usage of Gmail, Yahoo

A file picture of Yahoo headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif.
Wary of cyber snooping, the government could ban e-mail services such as Gmail and Yahoo for official communications by December this year in a move to safeguard its critical and sensitive data.
The government is expected to route all its official communication through the official website NIC’s email service.

The Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY) is drafting a policy on e-mail usage for government offices and departments and the policy is almost ready. The department is now taking views from other ministries on it.
“E-mail policy of the government of India, as this policy will be called, is almost ready and we are taking views from other ministries on this. Our effort will be to operationalise it by mid or end-December,” DEITY Secretary J Satyanarayana told reporters on the sidelines of a CII summit.
According to official sources, the policy seeks to protect the large amount of critical government data.
It also aims to make it mandatory for government offices to communicate only on the nic.in platform rather than commercial email services like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.
The policy is expected to cover about 5-6 lakh Central and State government employees for using the email service provided by National Informatics Centre (NIC).
On investments required for the policy, Mr. Satyanarayana said: “We immediately require about Rs 4-5 crore to ramp up the NIC infrastructure. But, the total investment needed for the full operationability of the e-mail policy could be around Rs 50-100 crore.”
This will also include integrating the e-mails with cloud so that official data can be saved on a cloud platform, which can then be easily shared with the concerned government ministries and departments, he added.
The development comes close on heels of concerns being raised by a section in the government, especially intelligence agencies, over use of email services, provided by foreign firms (mostly US-based), which have their servers located in overseas locations, making it difficult to track if sensitive government data is being snooped upon.
The move also assumes significance in light of the fallout of the Snowden saga, which contended the US intelligence agencies used a secret data-mining programme to monitor worldwide Internet data to spy on various countries, including India.
Former technical contractor for National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency Edward Snowden had leaked what was allegedly details of a top-secret American mass surveillance programme, which led to countries analysing the safety of their official Internet-supported communication networks.

Government Actively Looking at Cloud Based Services as First Option 

 

Government Actively Looking at Cloud Based Services as First Option Given the huge requirement of services for citizens, the government is actively looking at cloud based services as first option. A significant step in this direction is MeghRaj - National Cloud Computing Initiative, which sets basic standards for all cloud services for Government of India as well as evangelising projects through Cloud First policy. This information was given by Shri J. Satyanarayana, Secretary, Department of Electronics and Information Technology (Ministry of Communications & Information Technology), while unveiling the 4th edition of ‘CII Cloud Summit 2013’ her today. The theme of the Summit was: Developing Cloud Strategy.

Shri Satyanarayana said, “Cloud is culturally suitable for India as there is a preference for shared infrastructure and service, penchant for recycling & reuse and less concerns over piracy of data”. Taking a step further, he said that Government of India has developed the first Data Center for public cloud through National Informatics Centre (NIC) and an App store where citizens can access more than 40 services. He also demonstrated a recently created web portal for dissemination of e-Transactions statistics of National and State level e-Governance Projects including Mission Mode Projects.

16 lakh people suffer from brain stroke in India annually, study finds-The new Indian Express 

 

As many as 16 lakh people suffer from brain stroke annually in the country with men being the most vulnerable to the disease, a study has found.
A recently published report of the National Commission on Macroeconomics and Health has found that 55 to 60 per cent men are prone to stroke as compared to women.
About 25 patients out of 100 are below 40 years of age and people of 50 years and above age group are more vulnerable to stroke, which is the second most-common cause of death all over the world after heart attack.
"As per the hospital based data, the proportion is 55-60 male while the rest are women. Hospital data does not reflect what is happening in the community because patients who suffer stroke don't think it is necessary to go to a hospital and not all them survive to reach the hospital," said Dr Kameshwar Prasad, Head of Department, Neurology, AIIMS.
Speaking at a public awareness programme on World Stroke Day held here today, Prasad said rapid urbanisation, sedentary life-style and competitive environment has resulted in stress among teenagers also making them vulnerable to strokes, though their percentage is very small.
He further said that stroke cases are on a rise during winters.
Citing high blood pressure as the most common cause of stroke, Prasad said that people who smoke, have high cholesterol, and do less physical exercise are mostly at risk.
"People who don't have high BP problems can also be at risk. At times, they get warning attacks wherein the blood circulation stops and veins suppling blood to brain starts leaking," Prasad said.
Such short attacks can lead to weaknesses in the parts of body, slurring of speech, sudden loss of eyesight. However the signs go away within 24 hours which is a clear warning of blockage type attack.
The doctor advised making changes in lifestyle like including green vegetables and fruits in meals, avoid junk food, red meat and refrain from smoking, other than getting blood pressure checked regularly.
Prasad, however, expressed concern over lack of awareness about stroke among people.

Five safety tips for using a public computer


Public computers in libraries, Internet cafes, airports, and copy shops can be safe if you follow a few simple rules when you use them.
Read these tips to help keep your work, personal, or financial information private.
  • Don't save your logon information

    Always log out of websites by clicking "log out" on the site. It's not enough to simply close the browser window or type in another address.
    Many programs (especially social networking websites, web mail, and instant messenger programs) include automatic login features that will save your user name and password. Disable this option so no one can log in as you.
  • Don't leave the computer unattended with sensitive information on the screen

    If you have to leave the public computer, log out of all programs and close all windows that might display sensitive information.
  • Erase your tracks

    Internet Explorer offers InPrivate browsing that leaves no trace of specific web activity. For more information, see Internet Explorer 9 Features: InPrivate Browsing.
    Internet Explorer also keeps a record of your passwords and every page you visit, even after you've closed them and logged out.
    Disable the feature that stores passwords
    Before you go to the web, turn off the Internet Explorer feature that "remembers" your passwords.
    1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools  Gear icon, and then click Internet Options.
    2. Click the Content tab, and then click Settings, next to AutoComplete.
    3. Click to clear the check box for User names on passwords and forms.
    Delete your temporary Internet files and your history
    When you finish your use of a public computer, you can help protect your private information by deleting your temporary Internet files. For information on how to delete temporary Internet files see Delete webpage history.
  • Watch for over-the-shoulder snoops

    When you use a public computer, be on the look out for thieves who look over your shoulder or watch as you enter sensitive passwords to collect your information.
  • Don't enter sensitive information into a public computer

    These measures provide some protection against casual hackers who use a public computer after you have.
    But keep in mind that an industrious thief might have installed sophisticated software on the public computer that records every keystroke and then emails that information back to the thief.
    Then it doesn't matter if you haven't saved your information or if you've erased your tracks. They still have access to this information.
    If you really want to be safe, avoid typing your credit card number or any other financial or otherwise sensitive information into any public computer.
