Fissures resurface in MVA over Ajit Pawar’s ‘soft’ stand towards Shinde-Fadnavis govt.

Published by Webster

The suspension of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) State president Jayant Patil for the better part of the Winter Session of the Maharashtra Assembly session and the perceived ‘softness’ of Patil’s party colleague Ajit Pawar (who is Leader of Opposition) towards the ruling Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis dispensation has again brought tensions within the Sharad Pawar-led party to the fore.  Mr. Ajit, known for his outspoken talk, has long had a chequered career within the NCP.  Be it his 2012 resignation or his 2019 short-lived ‘alliance’ with BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis, Mr. Ajit’s unpredictability has startled not just party bigwigs but has had reverberations for the politics of the state as well.  The rift between Mr. Patil, a seven-term MLA from Sangli’s Islampur-Walwa constituency who is believed to be a Sharad Pawar loyalist, is also reflective of a potential struggle for control of the NCP after Mr. Sharad Pawar’s exit.  Again, Mr. Ajit’s ‘friendship’ with BJP leader and Deputy CM Fadnavis has led his detractors and ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’ partners (the Congress and the Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction) …

Published by Webster

Tesla’s accused of violating national labor laws by allegedly telling employees at its Orlando, Florida location not to talk about pay and working conditions, as first reported by Bloomberg. In a complaint filed in September, the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) regional director in Tampa claims Telsa “told employees not to complain to higher level managers about their pay or other conditions of employment” and said “not to discuss their pay with other persons.” The complaint goes on to accuse Tesla of instructing employees not to discuss the hiring, suspension, or termination of employees with others.

In a statement to Bloomberg, NLRB spokesperson Kayla Blado says a judge will hear the arguments laid out by the complaint during a February hearing. Source link

Children engaged in participatory learning at the digital community school in Banjaron Ki Basti in Ajmer district’s Kishangarh tehsil. | Photo Credit: Special arrangement An innovative concept of digital community schools, introduced by Tilonia-based Barefoot College International, is benefiting over 50 children from poor and underprivileged families in Ajmer district’s Kishangarh tehsil. The new model has helped develop a hub for exploratory learning through solar power-run “edu-box”. Children in Kishangarh’s far-flung Banjaron Ki Basti locality were deprived of education at the primary level because of the government school’s distance and their parents’ inability to afford the cost of schooling. The social enterprise, which has been working with the rural communities, has stepped in with a model suitable for children. With the initiation of a process for technology integration within the community, the school, started in August this year, has established an informal learning space with the in-house designed “edu-box” that stores the study material. A solar-powered projector turns the classroom into a digital learning centre and motivates children to complete their tasks quickly. The projector …
