The Journey of a JKAS Aspirant[MOTIVATIONAL STORY]

  Lokesh Shan sir. Wording..... On september 29, 2020 no sooner had I learnt of the declaration of the JKCCE 2020 results than I scuppered to find my rank on the final list. My hands were trembling. I was sure I would be on the final list, but between an aspirant and an officer was just a pdf, which I was not able to access as the website was busy. Finally, someone known to me sent the PDF to my sister. My sister opened the PDF and staidly said that my name was not in it. I asked her to recheck. She nodded in the negative . How could it be? I was so sure. I had overcome so many obstacles and mental pressures to reach the interview stage. My whole world shattered before my eyes. I could not move from where I sat for two hours. It was a double shock for me, as I had been appointed as Health Inspector in Government Medical College, Doda, my home district, and I had never ever thought that I would do the job. I thought that this job was not for me. Moreover, I had never lived away from...

MANIPUR VIOLANCE WHY

Image
. According to the sources I found, the reason for the violence in Manipur is mainly due to the ethnic conflict between the Meitei and the Kuki communities over the issue of Scheduled Tribe status for the Meitei community . The Meitei community, which is the majority in the Imphal valley, has been demanding ST status for over a decade, claiming that they had enjoyed it before the merger of Manipur with India . However, the Kuki community, which is one of the minority tribes living in the hills surrounding the valley, has opposed this demand, fearing that it would give the Meitei more influence and access to their lands The violence escalated after a Manipur High Court order on May 3, 2023, directing the state government to recommend to the Union Tribal Affairs Ministry by May 29, an ST tag for the Meitei community   This sparked protests and counter-protests by both sides, leading to clashes, killings, arson, looting and displacement of thousands of people . The violence has a...

Relationship between RBI and Government of India

Image
 Reserve Bank of India [As per the RBI Act, the Central Board is made up of the following members (21): Governor,  four Deputy Governors, Four Directors (one each from the four regional boards of the RBI), 10  directors to be nominated by the Centre, and two government officials, also to be nominated by the Centre]. The relationship between the Board and the Governor is not comparable to a corporate set- up where the managing director (the corporate equivalent of the Governor) reports to the  board and draws his powers from it. While a managing director is an agent of the board in a  company, in the RBI, the Governor is not. He draws his powers from the RBI Act and not  from the Central Board. He is appointed by the Prime Minister in consultation with the  Finance Minister. The RBI Board has no say whatsoever in his appointment. In a company,  the board of directors chooses one of its own to be appointed as the managing director. In  the RBI,...

Money and Banking

History of Indian Banking and Reforms. Modern banking in India began in the 18th Century, with the founding of the English Agency Houses in Calcutta and Bombay. Then in the first half of the 19th Century three presidency banks viz. Bank of Bengal (1806), Bank of Bombay (1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) were established. After the introduction of limited liability in 1860, private and foreign banks entered into the market. The beginning of 20th century saw the introduction of Joint stock banks. In 1921, the three presidency banks were merged to create Imperial Bank of India. Imperial Bank of India performed all the normal functions which a commercial bank was expected to perform. In the absence of any Central Bank in India till 1935, the Imperial Bank of India also performed a number of functions which are normally carried out by a Central Bank. At the time of Independence in 1947, the banking system in India was fairly well developed  with over 600 commercial banks operat...
