Journey to WorldSkills 2019

The selection of Team India for WorldSkills 2019 began in January 2018, with the roll out of a scheme on IndiaSkills Competitions. More than 22 states collaborated and organized close to 500 district and state level competitions between March and April 2018. The winners at these events, competed at four regional competitions organized at Jaipur, Lucknow, Bangalore and Bhubaneswar.

The winners from the regional competitions further competed at the National Competition organized from 2nd to 6th October 2018 at Aerocity Grounds in Delhi. Since then, the selected candidates have been undergoing rigorous training and have also participated in international competitions in order to hone their skills and gain the required experience. Most competitors have also received training at international centers which has significantly enhanced their skills.

The Team India includes participants from all over the country, including 6 from the North-Eastern region. 77% of these come from tier 2 and tier 3 cities and can speak 10 different languages. Most of these competitors come from a very humble background, with 35% have their parents either employed in the agriculture sector or are working as daily wage earners. 

Announcing the Team India, Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey, Minister for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship said, “Through WorldSkills Competition, we aim to provide opportunities to the youth in our country to compete with, and learn from, their peers across the globe. Such initiatives also help us benchmark our skills to the international standards and will improve the overall quality of vocational training in India. It is a proud feeling to witness the passion, effort and dedication with which these young competitors are preparing for the WorldSkills. I congratulate each one of them for their journey so far and wish them the very best for all their future endeavors. I believe they will inspire future competitors and all those who aspire to excel in their careers through vocational training.”

Kuki Revolutionary Army refutes KNF’s allegations

IMPHAL, JULY 25, 2019 (IFP) – The Kuki Revolutionary Army/ Kuki National Organisation (KRA/KNO) today clarified that it has nothing do with the alleged murder of PRO, KNF, Demkhohao Kipgen on July 22.

A released by joint secretary, information and publicity, KRA/KNO, T. Simte stated that the allegations made by Kuki National Front(KNF) regarding the murder of Demkhohao in Kangchup Chiru Village accusing KRA/KNO is false and unverified sources and baseless allegations to defame the organisation.

It warned the KNF not to make such false accusations in the future by mere presumption of any incidents. The KRA is one of the arm groups under KNO which strictly adhere to ground rules and obliged by laws and constitution of India, since the organisation is a part of tripartite talks with State and Centre, it asserted.

Branding the KNF as a ‘terrorist’ group and a black sheep organisation, it alleged that it was KNF who forcefully dragged out ex- KRA, Satlhun Haokip and Ngamlet from their house at midnight of May 5,2017 from Khoken village and were brutally murdered.

But KRA/KNO resolved to talks with representatives of the state government with KNF on the other sides and the matter was peacefully solved in manner that KNF would not disturb the people of New Keithelmanbi and Kangchup areas again, but in contrary to that, KNF continue disturbing the people of the area, it added.

Appealing the concern authority to check such anti-social activities in public interest, it further stated that KNF resorting in such anti-social activities would not bring anything good for the society.    

In a first, BJP forms Christian Missionary wing in Mizoram

The cell will run a 24X7 helpline for Mizoram missionaries

AIZAWL, JULY 25 (IANS) – To diminish its anti-Christian tag, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has set up the country's first Christian Missionary wing in Mizoram, where the saffron party has one MLA in the 40-member House, party leaders said on Thursday.

Mizoram BJP President J.V. Hluna said a five-member committee of Christian Missionary wing was formed with Hriata Chhangte as Chairman and Julie Vanpari as Secretary.

Hluna said: "The Christian wing was formed as some political parties and churches are accusing the BJP to be an anti-Christian party."

The Christian Missionary wing was formally opened on Wednesday.

"Initially we will start social activities for the cause of Mizos and gradually expand our activities," the 54-year-old mining engineer-turned-politician told IANS.

Chhangte said that occasionally Mizo people were harassed in different parts of the country when they went for studies, professional work, medical treatment and other purposes. This missionary wing will help address such grievances.

The Christian Missionary wing will have a 24X7 helpline.

"As I worked in many parts parts of the country as a central government official including in Gujarat, Odisha, Karnataka, Assam, I feel that BJP is a most secular party."

Chhangte, who lost the Lok Sabha elections in Mizoram as an independent candidate, said: "That the BJP is anti-Christian is false, spread by the Congress because it did not want it to come to power in Mizoram".

Though the ruling Mizo National Front is a constituent of the BJP-led North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), both the parties separately contested the Assembly and the Lok Sabha polls in the Christian dominated state.

With a population of 1,091,014 (according to the 2011 census), Mizoram is a closely knit society with a Christian majority (87 per cent).
