A total of 2.24 lakh people received Covid-19 vaccine in the first two days of the countrywide vaccination drive that saw 447 cases of adverse events following immunisa- tion (AEFI), the Union Health Ministry said on Sunday. The Government also pointed out that the number of inoculations on day one in India on Saturday was the highest in the world, higher than the developed countries like the US, the UK and France. “A total of 447 AEFI have been reported on January 16 and 17, out of which only three required hospitalisation. Most of the AEFI reported so far are minor like fever, headache, nausea,” the Ministry’s Additional Secretary Manohar Agnani said while addressing a Press briefing here. “One of the hospitalised beneficiaries is under observa- tion at AIIMS Rishikesh and is stable. Two others have been discharged from Delhi’s Northern Railway hospital and AIIMS Delhi,” he said. Agnani said a total of 2,24,301 benefi- ciaries have been vaccinated till January 17 as per provisional reports, adding that 2,07,229 of them received the jabs on day one of the drive. Though the official did not share the State-wise dis- tribution of the AEFI cases, according to various reports on Saturday evening AEFI were reported in Delhi (52), Maharashtra (22), West Bengal (14), Rajasthan (21), and Telangana (11). Some reports also said 13 cases were from Haryana. The adverse reactions which are being closely tracked through the Government’s sur- veillance framework, are defined by the WHO as “any untoward medical occurrence which follows immunisation and which doesn’t necessarily have a causal relationship with the usage of the vaccine. The adverse event may be any unfavourable or unintended sign, abnormal laboratory find- ing, symptom or disease”. Agnani said today being Sunday, only six States con- ducted vaccination drives and in 553 sessions a total of 17,072 beneficiaries were vaccinated. The six States were Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Manipur and Tamil Nadu. He said a meeting was held with all States and Union Territories on Sunday to review the progress of the drive, iden- tify bottlenecks and plan cor- rective actions in the backdrop of technical glitches reported from some session sites like the failure of CO-WIN platform to function. The Government said the shots will be offered first to an estimated one crore healthcare workers and around two crore frontline workers, and then to persons above 50 years of age, followed by persons younger than 50 years of age with asso- ciated comorbidities. R eiterating their demand for repealing new agriculture laws, the farmers’ union on Sunday said they will go ahead with their proposed tractor parade in Delhi on Republic Day. The rally will be held on the Outer Ring Road and will be peaceful. They also alleged that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is filing cases against those who are part of the protest or supporting it. Meanwhile, the authori- ties had moved the Supreme Court seeking an injunction against the proposed tractor march or any other kind of protest by farmers which seeks to disrupt the gathering and celebrations of the Republic Day on January 26. The matter is pending in court. “We have decided that we will carry out a tractor parade on the Outer Ring Road in Delhi on the Republic Day. The parade will be very peaceful. There will be no disruption of the Republic Day parade. The farmers will put up the national flag on their tractors,” said Yogendra Yadav, farmers’ union leader at the Press conference at Singhu Border on Sunday evening. Another farmers’ union leader, Darshan Pal Singh, alleged that the NIA is filing cases against protesters and its supporters. “All farmer unions condemn this,” Pal said, referring to the NIA summons reportedly issued to a farmer union leader in a case related to the banned Sikhs For Justice outfit. Thousands of farmers, mainly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been protesting at various border points of Delhi for over a month now demanding repeal of the three laws — the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, and the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act. D ays after she threatened rebellion, three-time Trinamool Congress MP Shatabdi Roy was appointed Vice President of the party’s Bengal unit on Sunday. On Friday, Roy indicated she was ready to cross over to the BJP, but after a meeting with fellow MP Abhishek Banerjee, who is Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, she cancelled her Delhi trip. Roy had indicated she could meet Home minis- ter Amit Shah during her Delhi stay, triggering specu- lation that she was ready to ditch the TMC. Roy said she “welcomed the decision” and that she would work hard to ensure the defeat of the BJP in the forthcoming election. “If you take up the matter concerning the party with the top lead- ership, it is addressed. This development proves that,” she was quoted by news agency PTI. On Friday the TMC bat- tled to persuade Roy — who retained Birbhum in the 2019 election despite colleagues losing neighbouring seats to the BJP by huge margins — to remain in the party. Meanwhile, the BJP has decided to continue “carpet- bombing” on the TMC till this year’s Assembly elections are over, party insiders said adding the saffron outfit is lining up a number of “pari- vartan rallies” led by some senior national leader or the other in February. Party sources said Shah who was scheduled to come to Bengal on January 18 would visit the State on January 30-31 when he will hold organsiation-level meet- ings as well as rallies. Party president JP Nadda too will lead a number of rallies in February and efforts are on to rope in Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for an intensified campaign. B ritain has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the high-profile G-7 summit there in June and indicated that Prime Minister Boris Johnson may visit India before the conclave. Johnson was supposed to be the chief guest at this year’s Republic Day but can- celled the visit due to the situation created in his country due to a new strain of coronavirus. The summit, which has leading countries like the US, UK, Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the European Union as mem- bers, is likely to discuss the current raging pandemic, climate change and open trade. Apart from India, Australia and South Korea are the other countries invited to take part in the G-7 summit as guests. It is scheduled to take place in Cornwall. Giving details of the invitation, an official statement by the British High Commission here on Sunday said, “Prime Minister Johnson will use the first in-person G7 summit in almost two years to ask leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to seize the oppor- tunity to build back better from coro- navirus, uniting to make the future fairer, greener and more prosperous.” Terming India as the “phar- macy of the world,” while under- lining the growing ties between the two countries, the statement said India already supplies more than 50% of the world’s vaccines, and UK and India have worked closely together throughout pandemic. K olam, a traditional Indian art form of drawing geometric patterns on the floors as a sign of welcome, was part of the virtual kick-off ceremony of the inau- guration of President-elect Joe Biden and his deputy Kamala Harris, who traces her origin to Tamil Nadu where these auspi- cious designs adorn almost every household. In Tamil Nadu, where Harris has roots, women draw Kolams on the ground to invite health and prosperity into hous- es where they are displayed. Pictures of thousands of Kolam tiles were on Saturday woven into a video to welcome Biden and Harris in the spirit of Presidency for All and to show- case the multi-cultural heritage of America. More than 1,800 indi- viduals from across the US and many from India participated in the online initiative to create thousands of Kolam designs to celebrate the historic event. Many believe Kolams symbolise posi- tive energy and new beginnings. (Detailed report on P8) New Delhi: The Supreme Court-appointed committee on the three new farm laws is scheduled to hold its first meeting on January 19 at Pusa campus here, its mem- ber Anil Ghanwat said on Sunday. A network of doctors from across the country has alleged that emergency urgent authorisation (EUA) approval given to the vaccines — Covishield and Covaxin — is beset with “several irregularities” and asked the Government to make public all the relevant vaccine data. “This would enable scientists and health workers to make informed choices regard- ing administration of vaccines for self and community in gen- eral,” said the medical profes- sionals under the banner of the Progressive Medicos and Scientists Forum (PMSF). The doctors have demand- ed the rollback of approvals for EUA and choice be given to the healthcare workers (HCWs) to choose the vaccine without any fear or riders such as linking vac- cinations with travel advisory restrictions. “Better approach will be to have an option strat- egy rather than opt out strategy. The continuation or eligibility for working as HCWs should not have any precondition of Covid vaccination, as is being done in a few countries,” said PMSF president Dr Harjit Singh Bhatti in a memorandum to the Government.Also, the forum said the clinical trials phase-3 data should be evaluated in transparent manner as and when available for India for both vaccines and the decision to grant EUA may be revisited once the phase 3 trials are com- pleted. The DCGI had early this month gave EUA to the two vac- cines developed respectively by Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech following which vaccination drive has been launched in the country from January 16. However, the forum alleged that the whole process of vaccine authorisation has been highly opaque and apparently unsci- entific. “The unethical manner in whichclinical trials for Covid vaccine have been conducted in India has cast a shadow on whole scientific research and innovation incountry. C hief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mohapatra on Sunday directed to increase green coverage on bald hills through plantation and regen- eration activities during the year 2021-22. He also directed to create digital database of all the for- est assets and upload those on public domain with regular updating.The Department of Forest and Environment (DoFE) was asked to put in place a robust system for ground level monitoring and public disclosure. Further, Mohapatra asked the DoFE to create a land bank for com- pensatory afforestation and protect the identified land from human intervention so as to allow natural regeneration on that land.The DoFE was also asked to prepare a three-year action plan for making the for- est roads motorable at least for easy availability of health and emergency services at the remote villages. Mohapatra also directed to do solar fencing along the forest boarders involving the people of the adjoining human habitation for preventing the man-animal conflict. In anoth- er applaud to State, the India State Forest Report of 2019 has projected Odisha as a “Lead State” in different parameters of afforestation and forest man- agement through application of technology. The State’s initiative for DGPS survey of the entire forest land of 60,991 km with latest techniques has proved to be very useful in monitoring of forest area, wild life and main- tenance of different assets. The method has been accepted as a best practice at national level. This was known from the State Level Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) meeting held under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary recently wherein CEO CAMPA Uma Nanduri outlined the issues for discus- sion.Development Commissioner Pradeep Jena advised to do third party assessment of the pre and post green cover density against each plantation project. Principal Chief Conservator of Forests Sandeep Tripathy said, “As per ISFR- 2019, the forest area in Odisha has increased by 274 sq km from 2017 to 2019. Besides, tree cover area has also increased by 655 sq km. The committee approved Annual Action Plan of 2021-22 with a total outlay of around Rs 903.39 crore. The meeting set the target for plantation over 3,603.03 hectares during the period of APO 2021-22. A fter a one-day pause on Sunday, the vaccination drive against coronavirus in the State would resume from Monday.“The vaccination programme will continue across the State from tomor- row, i.e., January 18 and the number of vaccination cen- tres will increase to com- plete the (inoculation) target,” informed Health & Family Welfare Director and Vaccine-in-Charge Bijay Panigrahi on Sunday, a day after the State registered 85% vaccination on the first day of the nationwide drive. Arrangement would be made to conduct the pro- gramme in private as well as Government medical col- leges. The beneficiaries would be vaccinated at two sessions in District Headquarters Hospitals and Sub-Divisional Hospitals. A total of 200 people would be given the shots at these sites, Dr Panigrahi said.To achieve the target, there would be six vaccine in- charges instead of five. However, the vaccine would be administered to the bene- ficiaries at the PHCs and CHCs as per the SoP framed by the Government. On Saturday, as many as 13,980 beneficiaries (85% of the tar- get) had been administered the Covid-19 jabs in the State on the first day of the drive. According to the Health & Family Welfare Department, six districts of registered 100% vaccination on the first day. “Though side effects were noticed among some people in Dhenkanal, Salepur and Rayagada after they got the shots of vaccine, it was due to nervousness,” said Dr Panigrahi adding, “No major side effects have been report- ed later.” T he State reported 183 new Covid-19 positive cases in 23 districts and from the State pool on Sunday, tak- ing the total tally to 3,33,310.Of the new cases, 106 were from quarantine and 77 were local contact cases. None of the districts reported more than 50 cases. Angul registered the day’s highest 20 cases followed by Khordha and Sambalpur with 19 each and Nuapada and Sundargarh 18 each. Besides, six cases were reported from the State pool.Meanwhile, the death toll jumped to the 1,900- mark with one more fatality on the day. The lone death was reported from Khordha district, the deceased being a 52-year-old man of Bhubaneswar. A total of 30,798 samples were tested on Friday, taking the cumulative tests to 73,76,896 in the State. The active caseload stood at 2,039. However, 228 persons recovered on the day, taking the total recoveries to 3,29,546. S ubhra Kundu, wife of Rose Valley Group chairman Gautam Kundu, was brought here on Sunday by the CBI after being arrested on January 15. The Central agency brought Subhra to Bhubaneswar on transit remand and would produce her before the Special CBI Court here.Subhra was arrested from Kolkata in connection with the multi-crore chit fund scam. After obtaining transit remand from a court in Kolkata, the CBI brought her here as the case has been registered in Bhubaneswar. Gautam Kundu, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in March 2015, has been lodged in a jail since then. So far, the ED has attached more than Rs 2,300 crore worth of properties of the Rose Valley Group. Having cast its net across the States of West Bengal, Tripura, Assam, Odisha, Jharkhand and Maharashtra among others, the Rose Valley Group is alleged to have illegally raised several thousand crores of rupees from the public.In a charge-sheet submitted in the Special CJM Court in Bhubaneswar, the CBI has charged the ponzi firm of defrauding depositors of Rs 17,000 crore, out of which Rs 450 crore is from Odisha. The company was active in Odisha with 28 branches. T rouble for a mega drinking water project at Nuahat in Chandabali under Bhadrak district has begun after the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) recently intervened in the mat- ter on plea of a social activist that the project would spell water crisis in Kendrapada dis- trict by diverting water from the Kharasrota river. Sanjay Kumar Behura, a social activist and environ- mentalist of Rajkanika block , had filed a grievance at the PMO raising concern over the impending water crisis for the district if the project comes up. Even Bhitarkanika may lose its identity as a Ramsar site and the bio diversity of the Bhitarkanika would be at stake, he had contended. Behura, in his grievance brought to the PM’s notice alleged that the Nuahat project under Chandabali block of Bhadrak district was meant to supply water to 91 panchayats and three municipalities by diverting river water at the cost of the residents in Kendrapada district. The State Government wants to extract 142 MLD of water from Kharasrota river which is flowing in Kendrapada district. Though locals were up in arms and opposing the project, the State Government has been ignoring the riparian rights of the inhab- itants, Behura alleged.

    The farm laws were put onhold by the Supreme Court ear-lier this week amid a 53-dayprotest by farmers at the bor-ders of Delhi. Saying it was"extremely disappointed" bythe Government's handling ofthe crisis, the court had alsoformed a committee of agri-cultural experts to deal with theissue, which has, however, beenrejected by the farmers.

    Tomar, who left for hisconstituency by Hazur SahibNanded-Amritsar SuperfastExpress, was seen sharing lan-gar from co-passengers ofSikh community -- a gesturewhich comes amid the ongo-ing protests by farmers fromPunjab against the agri laws.

    The Congress on Sundayposed four questions tothe Centre over its vaccine pol-icy and pointed out that vacci-nations are an "important pub-lic service and not a political orbusiness opportunity".

    The grand old party ques-tioned the pricing of the vac-cination and alleged that it'scostly as compared to the restpart of world where the samevaccination is being adminis-tered.

    Among the four questionswere issues regarding the pricesof the Covishield and Covaxindoses and the Centre's decisionto allow the exports of one ofthe vaccines before immunis-ing everyone in the country.

    "Vaccine Development &Mass Immunization were nei-ther events' or publicity stuntsbut important milestones in theservice of the people'. While thecountry stands united in pro-viding immunization againstCorona virus to our FrontlineCorona Warriors' i.e. doctors,health workers, police person-nel & others, let us rememberthat vaccinations are an impor-tant public service and not apolitical or business opportu-nity," Congress chief spokesper-son Randeep Singh Surjewalasaid at AICC Press conference.

    Surjewala said the PM andhis Government need toanswer important questions.

    "Who will get free Coronavaccine? How many peoplewill get free Corona vaccine?Where will you get free Coronavaccine?" he asked as he point-ed out the Government's orderfor the vaccine doses will beinadequate.

    The Congress general sec-retary also asked why shouldthe Government pay ?95 moreto Bharat Biotech for a vaccinethat has been "developed withthe expertise & experience ofscientists of Govt ownedICMR".

    "Why should Modi Govtpay more for a vaccine that hasonly been tested on 755 indi-viduals & is yet to be clearedafter Phase II trials. Should theprice of such a vaccine not becheaper than the AstraZeneca-Serum Institute?" he questioned.

    Surjewala then came tothe price of Serum Institute'svaccine in the open market ashe cited the chief executive ofthe Pune-based company AdarPoonawalla saying that theywill sell Covishield for?1,000/dose in the open mar-ket or "2,000/dose for 2 dosesrequired for every individual.""Isn't Modi Govt duty bound toensure purchase of all"Covishield Doses' at 200/doseand enable the people to pur-chase at this price rather than1,000/dose? WhenAstraZeneca has promised sup-ply of vaccine "at no profit",why is Serum Institute being

    permitted to charge 1,000/dose,when they are supplying toGovt at 200/dose? he asked fur-ther.

    The last question was onthe government's permission toSII to allow the export of itsvaccine "without immunisa-tion of India's population"."Corona Vaccine For All shouldbe the stated policy of ModiGovt.

    However, Modi Govt'sapproach on Free Vaccinationor alternatively Cost ofVaccination', Cost toExchequer', Profit Margins ofCompanies' etc for India'sremaining 135 Crore people iscompletely opaque and shroud-ed in secrecy," Surjwewala said.

    "Time for Prime Minister.Shri Narendra Modi & hisGovt to come forward andanswer," he added.

    The opposition party hasbeen critical of the governmentwith senior Congress leaderManish Tewari and Unionhealth minister Harsh Vardhansparring on Twitter onSaturday, the day PrimeMinister Narendra Modilaunched the country's mam-moth inoculation drive. Tewarihad raised questions over theemergency use approval givento the indigenously-developedvaccine Covaxin and Vardhanhitting back alleging that theCongress leader was only pas-sionate about spreadingrumours.

    The Ministry of RoadTransport & Highways(MoRTH) has created a recordby constructing 534 km ofNational Highways (NHs) inthe last week commencing 8January.

    The Ministry has con-structed 8,169 km of NationalHighways (NHs) from April2020 to 15 January 2021 in thecurrent financial year 2020-21,i.e. with a speed of about 28.16km per day. During the sameperiod in the last fiscal, 7,573km roads were constructed,with a speed of 26.11 km perday, according to a statementby MoRTH.

    The Ministry is hopefulthat with such pace it should beable to cross construction tar-get of 11,000 km by 31 March.

    The Ministry also awarded

    NH projects of 7,597 km dur-ing this period (April 2020 to15 January 2021). In 2019-20,projects of 3,474 km wereawarded during the same peri-od. Thus, the pace of award hasalso more than doubled this fis-cal.In total, projects of 8,948km of roads were awarded in2019-20 while 10,237 km ofroads were constructed.

    The achievement assumessignificance given the fact thatthe first two months of the cur-rent fiscal were lost due tonationwide lockdown in thewake of COVID-19 pandemic.The Ministry has taken sever-al initiatives to increase thepace of construction. The paceof construction is expected toincrease further in the remain-ing months of the currentfinancial year, which are con-ducive for construction activ-ities.

    Aprominent CPI(M) activist hascome out in the open alleging thatmassive fraud was committed by theparty leaders and cadre during therecently held local body elections in theState.

    Prof K M Sreekumar, a CPI(M)activist who was posted as the presid-ing officer of a polling station inKasaragod district during the local bodyelection, alleged in a complaint to theState election Commission that KKunhiraman MLA from Udumathreatened him with dire consequenceswhen the former objected to electoralfraud being committed by party cadre.

    “People who had cast their voteswere turning up again and again to castvotes in the name of other voters. Therewas large scale bogus voting and whenI objected to it, the local CPI(M)leader asked me not to intervene.When I stood my ground, the MLAturned up and asked me to look afterwhat was happening inside the pollingbooth and not to create problems.

    When I insisted in checking the iden-tity of the voters, the MLA threatenedto chop off my legs,” said ProfSreekumar in his social media posting.

    Prof Sreekumar, who heads theCPI(M) controlled teachers’ union ofthe Agricultural University, said that theentire polling staff on duty was from theparty itself. “This is to facilitate bogusvoting and this has been the precedencein this part of the State,” said the pro-fessor.

    Northern Kerala, especially thedistricts of Kannur, Kasaragod and thenorthern region of Kozhikode are infa-mous for the “party villages” which arrcontrolled and administered by theCPI(M) irrespective of who rules fromThiruvananthapuram, the capital city.The panchayats in all party villages areunder the control of the CPI(M) whichdecides who should file nominationpapers.

    “These villages are out of bound forpersons belonging to other parties. It isthe writ of local party commissarswhich run in these villages,” saidKunhikannan, author and political

    commentator belonging to one of thevillages.

    Dr T P Senkumar, former chief ofKerala Police who retired as recently as2017 from the Indian Police Service haswritten about the frauds committed bythe CPI(M) in elections. “Young IPSofficers who were put on election dutyin these regions have told me aboutmassive bogus voting by certain peo-ple in all elections. When they ques-tioned the propriety behind these mal-practices, the officers were threated withdire consequences by the CPI(M) lead-ers,” Dr Senkumar wrote in his mem-oirs.

    The bogus voting in party villagesby CPI(M) activists have been men-tioned by BalakrishnanChammancherry, a retired govern-ment official, in his autobiographicalnovel “Elegy by Village Goddesses”.“Both men and women compete witheach other in casting maximum num-ber of bogus votes. It has become a rit-ual in this part of the world,” says thenovel based on the political murderscommitted in the party villages.

    Technologies Pvt Limited fordesigning the robot. The ChiefMinister said the two robots wouldhave a huge role in rendering careto patients in the hospitals.

    Meanwhile, in a first-of-its-kind in northeast India, a robotdeveloped by young scientistHarjeet Nath from TripuraUniversity was deployed in a gov-ernment Covid Care Centre in May2020 to deal with Covid patients.

    Nath has made the robot fromlocally available material, includingscrap. He has named it as 'WAR-BOT' to fight the war against theCovid-19 pandemic.

    Nath's aim was to assist thefrontline health workers, includingdoctors, in taking care of the coro-navirus patients from a distantplace. The young scientist in July2020 donated the robot to theTripura Medical College and DrB.R. Ambedkar Memorial TeachingHospital. The medical college hadused the robot at the 250-bedCovid Care Centre in Hapania, onthe outskirts of the capital cityAgartala. Tripura Medical CollegeProfessor and in-charge of theHapania Covid Care Centre, ShibSekhar Datta, said the robot wasuseful to some extent. IANS

    The BJP’s has decided to continue “car-pet-bombing” on the TrinamoolCongress till this year’s Assembly electionsare over, party insiders said adding the saf-fron outfit is lining up a number of “pari-vartan rallies” led by senior national lead-ers in the month of February.

    According to party sources, HomeMinister Amit Shah who was scheduled tocome to Bengal on January 18 would nowvisit the State on January 30-31 whence hewill hold organsiation-level meetings as wellas rallies.

    Party president JP Nadda too will leada number of rallies in February and effortsare on to rope in the likes of Uttar PradeshChief Minister Yogi Adityanath too for anintensified campaign.

    The BJP may bring in Prime NarendraModi as early as in March to intensify itscampaign in Bengal, sources said addingShah, Nadda, Bengal BJP observer KailashVijaybargiya, party vice-president MukulRoy, Shiv Prakash and AmitavoChakraborty and others met the HomeMinister’s residence last week to assess theso-called tide in favour of the BJP and it wasdecided that the party should apart fromcontinuing its attack on the TrinamoolCongress strengthen the booth-level organ-sations particularly in the areas where it didnot fare well in the 2019 general elections.

    The BJP surprised the critics in the par-liamentary polls winning 18 out of 42 LokSabha seats wresting 16 from the ruling out-

    fit.Meanwhile, in a bid to continue its pres-

    sure on the TMC the BJP on attacked it forindulging in “vaccine theft” withVijaybargiya on Sunday accusing the StateGovernment of vaccinating its own leadersand workers instead of the medical staff forwhich corona vaccines have been procured.

    “Like in post Amphan situation whenthe TMC men stole relief materials now theyare stealing vaccine,” Vijaybargiya saidshowing how the Trinamool leaders weregetting themselves vaccinated in place of thehealth workers.

    The BJP leader said so after reports thatTMC’s North Dinajpur MLA M Singha andBarrackpore municipal chairman UttamDas had got themselves vaccinated bypass-ing the corona warriors. “We got ourselvesvaccinated because we wanted to allay fearsabout the vaccine among the people,” theTMC leaders said.

    Taking a dig at Chief Minister MamataBanerjee for allowing such irregularities totake place Bengal BJP president DilipGhosh on Sunday said that “Didi is cryinghoarse against so-called shortage of vaccinewhereas her own leaders and party men arelooting them from hospitals … as if theywant to survive without considering for theothers.”

    Reacting to his remarks Bengal MinisterFirhad Hakim said “vaccine belongs to thepeople and has been prepared by tax pay-ers money it isnot anyone’s paternal prop-erty… everyone has right to get vaccine.”

  • Acautious and forced opti-mism pervades the startof 2021. As Lenin aptlysaid: “There are decadeswhen nothing happens, and thenthere are weeks when decadeshappen.” The year 2020 was onesuch when the velocity in medicalscience and tech adaptationcrammed a decade’s evolutioninto a single year.

    That the vaccine would bethe panacea for the economicwoes of 2020 is not certitude,given the emergence of themutating COVID-II strain. Asecond cycle of virulence couldfurther burden healthcare sys-tems, severely reversing the eco-nomic recovery. Confronted withmultiple challenges, recoveryeven in the developed world isnot anticipated before 2021 enddespite their Governments’ sus-tained stimuli on all three fronts:fiscal, monetary and credit. Thisis because the COVID-inducedhysteresis will keep the growthrates suppressed much after thecrisis recedes, as it did during the2008 financial meltdown.

    Set against the grim spectre ofjob and income losses and theinequality exacerbated by the cri-sis, there have been only two gain-ers during the lockdown of 2020:China as a country, and theAmerican big tech oligarchs as abusiness class. Today, Apple,Amazon, Google, Facebook,Microsoft, Netflix and Twitter’scombined market capitalisation is$8 trillion, which is more than dou-ble the size of India’s national GDP.This is attributed to big tech’sstakes in the online world of con-tactless social media and e-com-merce which helped them increasetheir net worth by a whopping 30per cent, to touch $4 trillion.

    And China’s export-led econ-omy rebounded the fastest due tobeing able to fill the void in glob-al supply-chain disruptions as thecountry remained on a manufac-turing overdrive while the rest ofthe world was in lockdown mode.

    Broadly, the predictive globalcontours of change in 2022 will beseen in the spiralling of sovereigndebt to GDP ratios; a partialrevival of globalisation and areturn to multilateralism with theadvent of Joe Biden; a high rise inmanufacturing productivity levels,yet conversely, a shrinkage in jobcreation due to digitisation and AI-led automation; and permanentchanges in consumer behaviour.

    Another dominant concern atthe start of the year is with the sur-real valuations of global stock

    markets due to surplus liquid-ity infused by the Central bank’squantitative easing. This willlikely fuel the next asset bubbleand lead to a repeat of the 2008phenomenon once stimulusmeasures are withdrawn towardthe end of the year.

    There are other anticipat-ed trends that are likely to playout in the economy with theconsumer and with corporatesin 2021. For one, there are fearsthat the very country thatunleashed the virus could sab-otage global recovery bycovertly unleashing anothervirulent strain so that theoffender nation retains its eco-nomic heft.

    And, sadly, the optimism isfurther watered down due tothe lack of a unified action planamongst like-minded coali-tion partners or allies to rein inan expansionist China. A mul-tilateral and punitive responseis needed to hold Chinaaccountable for subverting arules-based economic inter-national order and calls for aninternational backlash for itsabuses on maritime and terri-torial incursions as also for thegrotesque human rights abus-es on Uighurs, or for theChinese Communist Party’scrackdown on democracy inHong Kong and Tibet.

    China’s treatment of busi-ness magnate Jack Ma beingbrowbeaten to “embrace super-vision” (the Chinese synonymfor detention) should have sentshock waves to the global

    investor community. But, to thecontrary, the West is hesitant todecouple from China. Whilethe Biden Administration willpersist with Trumpian-era tar-iffs and technology restric-tions on China, the attractionof the Chinese market for theUS and the EU investors is toostrong to cut the cords of eco-nomic activity on grounds ofgeopolitical aberrations alone.The EU, which is the largesttrading bloc, has recentlyapproved a comprehensiveinvestment agreement whileAmerican fund houses contin-ue to solicit Chinese saversretirement funds.

    When the strongest democ-racies are in descent and disar-ray, it has the propensity toembolden rogue dictators.More so after the theatre of theabsurd that played out atCapitol Hill with Trump’s “Bethere, be wild” melee thatpushed lawmakers to invoke the25th Amendment to remove asitting President from office. Aweakened US then portendsominous signals in being ableto contain an aggressive China,which does not augur well forfree market economies.

    And if the Capitol Hill wasunder siege, a similar kind ofanarchy is being played out onthe borders of the Capital of thelargest democracy in the world,with the non-negotiable stanceof the farmers’ protest nearingtwo months. Anarchist trendsin democracies are now a symp-tom of a deeper underlying

    malaise, with a thin line demar-cating excessive freedom ofexpression or the right to dis-sent from chaos, vandalismand lawlessness.

    Dominant India-centricthemes expected to play out

    Coming to India, while theeconomists predict a strongrebound, it is important not toconfuse rebound with growthin “absolute” terms. The WorldBank estimates the growth inIndia to recover to 5.5 per centin FY22, so the recovery froma lower base naturally quanti-fies as a higher rise. Herein, thespeed of the vaccines’ rolloutand their efficacy will of courseincrease economic activity dueto increased mobility, whichwill drive recovery in the non-farm sectors with the exclusionof the contact-intensive ser-vices sectors.

    According to a McKinseyreport, “Indian businesseshave the potential to createeconomic value of about $635billion by 2030 if they can tapinto the shifting preferences ofIndians aspiring to a higherstandard of living”. The areasidentified for quantum leapsare in businesses that providehigher-quality urban environ-ments, cleaner air and waterand more convenience-basedservices in the new ideas-based economy which canpotentially create millions ofproductive jobs.

    Another dominant trendis one of growing indignationagainst the “privately owned,

    unelected, unaccountableAmerican tech companies,who can unilaterally excludeanyone on Earth out of theinternet”. The other countriesmust unite to regulate thesemonopolistic internet giantswho evade taxes in host coun-tries, have a predatory, buy-outstrategy towards startupswhich pose a threat to them inorder to curb competition andhave now self-appropriatedthe right to restrict freedom ofexpression at will.

    Lastly, mainstreamingEnvironment, Social andGovernance (ESG) will be oneof the enduring hallmark busi-ness trends of post-pandemicprioritisation. The ESG verti-cals can vary from supportingsustainable natural materials,water conservation and CO2reductions or espousing socialcauses such as human rightsand poverty alleviation. Wehave to recognise that zoonot-ic diseases will continue to risetill the time we do not shift tosustainable production andconsumption patterns.

    Peering through the fog ofuncertainty, it is impossible toconjure what the post-vac-cine world will look like. But,for sure, what we wil lencounter on the other side ofthe tunnel will in no wayresemble the pre-COVIDworld order.

    Mobile finance finds itself at an inflectionpoint as the world continues to tacklethe socio-economic fallout of theCOVID-19 crisis. In these critical times, mobilemoney has helped governments in navigating thefinancial dystopia and addressing the practicalchallenge of delivering affordable and efficientfinancial services. Mobile currency is as an effec-tive and physical distance friendly option toavoid cash, which can act as a carrier of theCoronavirus. Contactless digital payments at thepoint of sale with the help of facial recognition,Quick Response (QR) codes or near-field com-munications (NFC), drastically reduce the pos-sibility of the spread of the contagion.

    Digitisation has turned a smartphone intoa wallet, a chequebook, a bank branch and anaccounting ledger. The ubiquity of the mobilephone has made it possible to deliver financialservices to people for whom a bank account isa distant dream. Frictionless, real-time paymentthrough smartphones is already ensuring thatthe financially excluded section is thinning fast.Mobile transactions can create the next wave offinancial inclusion if we prudently address theconcerns of consumers.

    For instance, people in far-flung areas of thecountry and remote villages are now able tomake payments, deposit money, transfer funds,receive social benefits and wages and buyrations — affordably and reliably without thehassle associated with the opening of a bankaccount. In emerging and developing economies,millions have cellular phones but no bankaccounts, credit cards or debit cards. For them,mobile money has begun filling the gaps infinancial services. It serves as a lifeline, bring-ing those who currently lack access to bankinginto the financial mainstream.

    Further, the penetration of cellular phonesputs developing countries in an advantageousposition where making a quantum leap in finan-cial inclusion is concerned. For communitieswith low literacy levels and sporadic incomes,digital money can transform the socio-econom-ic landscape. Mobile banking is enabling womento overcome common barriers. It reduces theneed to travel long distances to access bankingfacilities and also ensures a level of privacy andsecurity.

    In reality, despite the best of intentions bankscannot afford to set up branches in every nookand corner of the country as there are logisti-cal, economic and security constraints. The highcost of building infrastructure for bank branch-es has been a major obstacle in extending finan-cial services to the poor and the underserved inremote locations. Cellular phone banking elim-inates the problem of geographical inaccessibil-ity and high set-up cost of bank branches.

    Banks, mobile operators and third-partyproviders are all leveraging technologies onmobile phones to offer basic financial servicesat a lower cost than traditional banking allows.Several new types of delivery channels areemerging such as managers, agent networks, pay-ment aggregators and others who are helping inbuilding a more far-reaching and efficient dig-ital finance ecosystem.

    Digital mobile finance offers at least threemajor advantages over traditional financial

    models. First, digital transactions areessentially free. In-person servicesand cash transactions account for amajority of routine banking expensesbut mobile finance clients keep theirmoney in digital form. They can sendand receive money without incurringtransaction costs from their banks ormobile service providers.

    Second, mobile communicationgenerates copious amounts of datawhich banks and other providers canuse for developing more profitable ser-vices. It even acts as a substitute for thetraditional credit scores.

    Third, mobile platforms link banksto their clients in real time. Thismeans that banks can instantly relayaccount information or send remindersand clients can quickly sign up for ser-vices on their own.

    Further, digital footprints andtransaction data can be of great help toassess individual creditworthiness.Mobile network operators are teamingup with banks, financial-tech compa-nies and data analytics specialists to usethe customer information to gaugetheir credit risk and offer microfinanceproducts to some who would otherwiselack any proof of their capacity to repaya loan.

    If the customer is a regular userof a digital money transfer service, theoperator may also be able to assess howmuch disposable income they have.

    In fact, mobile operators’ data canbe good enough to lower the lender’srisk significantly, enabling interestrates to fall and making microfinancea more attractive proposition for smallbusinesses and individuals.

    But such success stories do not

    happen in a vacuum. To begin with,everyone needs a cellular phone withan affordable data plan. It is entrustedupon governments and non-govern-mental organisations to extend mobilenetworks to remote areas.Governments must also ensure thatnetworks between banks and telecom-munications companies are interoper-able otherwise, widespread use ofmobile phones for financial servicesand payments would be impossible.

    Mobile money transactions willalso have to address the limitationswhich prevent countrywide adoptionof the channel. Exchanging mobilemoney for cash can still be expensive.And digital and financial illiteracy areknown to hinder adoption of digitalmobile services. People in rural andremote areas may lack network cover-age, easy access to money agents, orsimply electricity. A robust identifica-tion system, widespread, consistentinternet access and trustworthy waysto get money into digital formatscould be important for digital pay-ments to thrive.

    Women’s access to mobile financeis affected by the fact that fewerfemales possess a mobile phone ascompared to men. The promises ofmobile finance are certainly veryseductive. However, the reality is muchharder than we can imagine. It is eas-ier to spread technology than to bringabout extensive change in social andindividual attitude.

    Although mobile telephony mightentail initial fixed costs, the variablecosts associated with their use are sig-nificantly lower, enabling an overallreduction in transactions costs. Mobile

    banking can be a strong income streamfor telecom operators, helping them tocounter slowing subscription growthand growing competition in tradition-al niches. The key is information tech-nology spending in annual fixed costsfor a mobile banking system. Again,that spending is significant for smallproviders, but is minimal for large play-ers. This means financial firms look-ing to expand into emerging marketsvia mobile banking would requiregood financial stamina.

    Since success is in everyone’s bestinterest, mobile and financial industriesand regulators should work collabora-tively with each other to unlock thetransformative social impact of cellphone money. It is only then that wewill be able to deliver life-changingmobile financial services to millions ofpeople across the world, who still haveno access to traditional banking.

    The pandemic has shown that thetrend towards greater digitalisation offinancial services in India is here tostay. The ongoing crisis is certainlygoing to test the way various players inthe digital and financial ecosystemsrespond. Governments must close thedigital divide to reap the benefits of dig-ital financial services. This meansfinding the right balance betweenenabling financial innovation andaddressing several risks: Lack of finan-cial and digital literacy, insufficientconsumer protection and unequalaccess to digital infrastructure and databases.

    Iran urged the UnitedNations’ nuclear watchdog toavoid publishing “unneces-sary” details on Tehran’snuclear programme, state TVreported Sunday, a day afterGermany, France and Britainsaid Tehran has “no crediblecivilian use” for its develop-ment of uranium metal.

    The report quoted a state-ment from Iran’s nucleardepartment that asked theInternational Atomic EnergyAgency to avoid publishingdetails on Iran’s nuclear pro-gram that may cause confusion.

    “It is expected the interna-tional atomic energy agencyavoid providing unnecessarydetails and prevent pavingground for misunderstanding”in the international communi-ty, the statement said. It did notelaborate.

    On Saturday, Germany,

    France and Britain pressedIran to back off its plan todevelop uranium metal, callingit “the latest planned violation”of its 2015 nuclear deal withworld powers.

    The goal of the deal is toprevent Iran from developinga nuclear bomb, somethingIran insists it does not want todo.

    “Iran has no credible civil-ian use for uranium metal,”they said in a joint statement.“The production of uraniummetal has potentially gravemilitary implications.”

    On Thursday, the IAEAsaid Iran had informed it thatit had begun installing equip-ment for the production of ura-nium metal.

    It said Tehran maintains itsplans to conduct research anddevelopment on uraniummetal production are part of its“declared aim to design animproved type of fuel.”

    For white-collar workers inthe technology industry, pay is

    better than in some industriesbut employees are often expect-ed to work 12 hours a day ormore.

    The human cost caughtpublic attention after the deathsof two employees from e-com-merce platform Pinduoduo,known for selling fresh produceat low prices.

    Their deaths promptedsuggestions they were over-worked. In an indication ofhigh-level concern, the officialXinhua News Agency called forshorter work hours, describinglong hours of overtime at theexpense of employees’ health asan “illegal” operation.

    Renewed concerns overdire working conditions for

    delivery drivers also came tothe forefront when a videocirculated on Chinese socialmedia showing what it said wasa driver for Ele.Me, part of e-commerce giant AlibabaGroup, setting himself on fireto protest unpaid wages.

    The controversy is a blowto the image of internet indus-tries that are transformingChina’s economy and generat-ing new jobs.
