For more fairness from the finance commission
The Finance Commission is a constitutional body instituted by the Union government once in five years without any transparent discussion on selecting its members and its terms of reference (ToR). The FC’s recommendations are not justiciable and not all recommendations are accepted by the government. Normally, the Union government adds to the constitutionally mandated ToR using the Constitution’s Article 280, sub-clause 3(d)—“any other matter referred to the commission by the president in the interests of sound finance”. The NDA government gave a long ToR for the 15th FC that was coercive in more than one way. The ToR of every FC retained almost all items in the previous ToR.

‘सरकार कम से कम…’ अखिलेश यादव ने भाजपा को दी नसीहत, पुलिस भर्ती, ARO, NEET पेपर लीक मामले में घेरा
अखिलेश ने कहा कि विभिन्न परीक्षाओं का पेपर लीक होना, परीक्षा में सेंटर से लेकर सॉल्वर तक की धांधली, परीक्षा कराने वाली एजेंसी का काम शक के घेरे में आना, रिजल्ट में ग्रेस मार्क्स की हेराफेरी, मनचाहे सेंटर मिलना, एक ही सेंटर से कई छात्रों का चयन होना और 100 प्रतिशत आना केवल परीक्षा प्रबंधन की समस्या नहीं है।राज्य ब्यूरो, लखनऊ। समाजवादी पार्टी के अध्यक्ष अखिलेश यादव ने सोमवार को एक बार फिर प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं के पेपर लीक मामले को लेकर भाजपा सरकार को घेरा।इन सबसे बढ़कर यह एक मानसिक त्रासदी है, जिससे न केवल परीक्षा देने वाले युवा बल्कि उनके माता-पिता भी ग्रसित हो रहे हैं। सरकार इस संकट को एक मनोवैज्ञानिक दृष्टि से भी देखे और कम से कम युवाओं के मामलों को अपने चौतरफा भ्रष्टाचार से मुक्त रखें।अखिलेश बोले- कौन लेगा गारंटी? सपा अध्यक्ष ने सोमवार को जारी बयान में कहा कि अगर पुलिस भर्ती, एआरओ, नीट जैसी अन्य परीक्षाएं रद्द होकर दोबारा होती भी हैं तो इस बात की गारंटी कौन लेगा कि अगली बार परीक्षा आयोजित किए जाने पर ऐसा कुछ भी घपला-घोटाला नहीं होगा।जब सरकार वही है और उसकी व्यवस्था भी वही है तो ये सब धांधलियां कहीं फिर से सरकार संरक्षित ‘परीक्षा माफिया’ के लिए पैसा कमाने का जरिया न बन जाएं। युवा मानस वैसे ही बहुत नाजुक होता है, ऐसे में उनको संभालना माता-पिता के लिए एक बहुत बड़ी चुनौती है।यह भी पढ़ें: UP News: दारोगा को दौड़ाकर पीटा… सिपाहियों की वर्दी फाड़ी, विवाद सुलझाने आई पुलिस टीम पर हमलायह भी पढ़ें: स्टेशन पर खड़ा था युवक… हरकतों पर होने लगा शक, बैग खुलवाया तो निकली ये ‘चमकदार’ चीज, दंग रह गए सुरक्षा कर्मी!

Will there be another pandemic after Covid? Here's what US experts suggest
Here's what US experts suggestAccording to Redfield, the death rate from the corona virus outbreak was just 0.6%, while the fatality rate from the bird flu epidemic might be as high as 20% to 50%. In a conversation, he said that the avian flu is becoming more widespread in the US. In his opinion, the pandemic might be much more deadly than the Covid-19 pandemic if it spreads via bird flu and affects people. It is known that the third human case of avian flu was detected in America last month. According to scientists, this might be the cause of the avian flu virus's fast proliferation among American cattle.

Indirect evidence builds, yet the ‘dark’ universe remains murky
In fact, 44 years ago this month, astronomer Vera Rubin published her famous paper with indirect evidence about the need for dark matter. Both dark matter and dark energy are assumptions. However, these alternatives suffer from an important problem: they don’t explain away all the disparities, whereas the dark matter and dark energy hypotheses do. Their studies make heavy use of simulations to understand how the universe would look if there were certain kinds of dark matter or dark energy. But for now, we have no choice but to draw all our inferences about dark matter and dark energy from indirect evidence alone.
