 Hello everyone, welcome to today's current of session of Civil Speedia. The topics we are going to see today is National Cow Commission, National Grass Grid and India Norway Ocean Dialogue, then Swine Flu and with respect to editorial topic is India-Napal Trade Treaty. First one, National Cow Commission or also known as Rashtriya Kamde-Noyog. What is recently the news with respect to this cow commission is the Cabinet Committee has approved for set up this cow commission and the main objective of this cow commission is to develop our welfare of this cows and this commission will work with the collaboration with other government institutions based on this research and development of indigenous cows and as well as this breeding and rearing of the cows so that it will have more enhancement of welfare of the cows as well as it will focus on the research of organic manure and biogas thereby enhance the agriculture productivity of our India and apart from that the recent interim budget has allocated 750 crore for this national cow commission mission and apart from that what is the major impact of having this kind of a cow commission separate commission for a cow because it will give a huge impact for the growth of the livestock sector it will helpful for the animal husbandry and thereby support the marginal society of Indian farmers because most of the Indian farmers are believe on this livestock factors only so by having a cow commission it will have focus special focus on productivity increasing the productivity of a cow and other livelihoods livestock so that it will give benefit for the marginal society of the country and apart from that it will reduce this increase it will reduce the injury that is happening to the people in the road accidents due to this stray animals that is happening in this road so it will have a both impact of this reducing the road accidents as well as it will have help the improvement in the livestock sector also and the next topic is national gas grid the recently we have already we have a national gas pipeline that has been operational for up to the kilometers of 16,788 kilometers while we are planning to develop much more gas line for the about 14,239 kilometers so it will have a comprehensive gas connection line so this national gas grid has been major objective to have comprehensive grid gas pipeline that is connecting north south as well as east west of India and apart from that this gas pipelines has been authorized by petroleum and natural gas regulatory board this regulatory board authorizes gale to develop this northeastern gas grid because northeastern is one of the area where this potential of this gas grid is much more but there was a lagging of this pipeline so by having this proper gas grid pipeline we will have connect this northern India with the rest of this country also thereby the development of the northern India will be assured so this pngrb that is this regulatory board has authorizes gale to develop national northeastern gas pipeline thereby connecting this Baroli to Guwahati pipeline as an integral part of this Jagdishpur Haldi and Bakaro Dhamra project so that it will have much integrated national level gas pipeline connected and apart from this this petroleum gas and natural gas regulatory board has authorizes Indra Dhanush gas grid this Indra Dhanush gas grid is one of the thing that is combination that is a joint venture of five PSUs public sector units that is this IOCL, ONGC, Gale, OAL and NRL these five PSUs has been joint has put together the joint venture that is called as Indra Dhanush gas grid limited this Indra Dhanush gas grid limited has focused on how to connect this eight northeastern states with the national gas grid so that it will have much more integrated gas grid connections that by lead to the development of a northeastern state at much faster level because this northeastern state is one of the area where this energy deficit is much more so by having a proper gas and connection it will give much more enhancement to this infrastructure as well as energy security for the northeastern people that by it will lead to the development of a northeastern people at a much faster level and the third topic is India-Norway ocean dialogue recently Norwegian Prime Minister has visited India so there was a major dialogue between this India and Norway with respect to this ocean so there recently there was a MOU that is Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with respect to this ocean dialogue thereby we are focused to set up a joint task force for this blue economy this blue economy is nothing but it is how to sustainably use this ocean resources for the development of economic growth of a country so that is called the blue economy that is totally depending on this ocean resources by having a sustainable use of this ocean resources this Norway economy 70% of a Norway economy depends on this blue economy only and apart from this this Norway is the global leader with respect to this blue economy so by having a treaty or dialogue with this Norway see India can learn much more things about how to improve our blue economy so what are the impact of having this dialogue my MOU is first thing is it will strengthen the state between India and Norway because this piloted treaty already we have 1.2 billion dollars and we have much more area to exploit between this India and Norway so by having this kind of a dialogue treaties we will have much more enhanced development in the with respect to this trade and apart from that it will contribute to the food security of India because by having strengthening this India's blue economy it will have much more food securities enhancement because India is depending on this fish for the protein deficiencies of Indian people so by having more amount of fisheries and marine resources by replacing properly of India if we India can satisfy this energy needs as well as this food security and apart from that this will have an by how we can have on who this food security is by having a much more advanced technologies implementing from this Norway for because this Norway has a huge new technologies with respect to this aquiries and fisheries which India lagging much more lot so by having a treaty or dialogue between this Norway we can learn new techniques and thereby adapt according to the our Indian ocean needs and what are the other things with respect to this India and Norway with respect to this ocean missions is we already have had three Arctic missions that by visited the Norway in 2007 eight and nine and already we have established a research station Himadri in this northern Norway's island of Spitspertskan and apart from this we already have a trade impact treaty that is TEPA that is trade and economic partnership agreement this trade and economic partnership agreement is nothing but India has joined with EFTF that is European free trade agreement this European free trade agreement four countries has been part of it Switzerland, Iceland and Lichtenstein these four countries has been part of this European free trade agreement and India has joined with this free trade agreement thereby it becomes a TEPA and this is one of the important thing that with respect to India and Norway and apart from this India and Norway India has been supported by Norway with respect to this WTO case which has been put against the US on this steel and aluminium duties that shows India and Norway are much more friendly manner and apart from that Norway is supporting India to get a permanent seat in UN Security Council as well as there was much more things that has been properly understand between this India and Norway and the next topic is swine flu there there was a recent sudden outbreak in swine flu with respect to this Rajasthan and New Delhi so what is the reason why this has been much more impacted of this swine flu right now and what are the things we have to curtain we have to do to curtain this swine flu outbreak the first thing is this swine flu is nothing but it is a respiratory disease that has been caused by H1N1 virus which can be transmitted through this infected pig and the most dangerousness of this H1N1 virus is it is the airborne that is it spread through air and through the physical contact also and first case that has been the swine flu has been reported in India in 2009 and 2016 is one it's a year in which there was a largest number of spine flu case registered and last year it was a very low but this year it was curbing very much higher level of spine flu cases that have not observed especially with respect to this Rajasthan and Delhi why this year that has been severe outbreak is first and foremost reason is there was a prolonged winter season especially in the northern India that leads to more extension of this shelf life of the virus that leads to cause more and more outbreak in this northern states and apart from this the lack of awareness especially among this rural population made rural population vulnerable to this spine flu disease and there was no proper pre-vaccination especially in Rajasthan and the bordering state so that makes the easy outbreak of this spine flu disease in these states and there was only symptomic treatment not proper treatment to cure completely this spine flu disease that makes more and more aware people have started to get affected by this spine flu and the last topic is India-Nepal trade treaty India-Nepal has shared a boundary of 1850 kilometers thereby five Indian states has part of the shares of Nepal that are the five Indian states Uttarakhand, UP, Pihar, West Bengal and Sykeems thereby these five states have much more cultural deeper cultural contact with this Nepal thereby having a deeper cultural bond this leads to much more deeper amount of a trade between these five states and this Nepal so this India-Nepal trade is one of the thing that has been started earlier much in the ancient India period itself and in 1950 we have put a treaty of peace and friendship thereby enhance this free movement of a trade between India and Nepal as per this article 6 under this treaty we have a national treatment and equal privileges for the each other citizens in each other soils so Nepalese will be equally treated in India and Indians will be equally treated as the Nepalese in in Nepal so thereby having a equal treatment equal privileges to both the countries of the people on each other soil and apart from this article 7 will provide free movement of India and Nepal is between the Indian-Nepal border so it will give more and more advancement especially with respect to this trade because by having a free movement like Indian people don't need to have a passport to go to Nepal and Nepal people don't need to have a passport to come to India just a vote ready and passport passport itself much more enough to enter this Indo-Nepal border that makes more free movement by having more freedom the trade has been enhanced so what are the issues that has been with respect to this Nepal is recently the political dramas between this Indo-Nepal has huddled this trade movement and apart from this we have much other thing that economically affecting this India and much of this Nepal has been dependent on the India especially for this petroleum automobile spare parts and the medicine so that makes India that makes Nepal to be much more dependent on India so this we have in 1999 we have signed bilateral trade treaty and transit for having a regulating this unauthorized trade between this India and Nepal so it has been reviewed every 10 years so in 2009 it was reviewed and in 2019 it has been again re-reviewed thereby to increase how the trade between India and Nepal can be go in a much smoother way and what are the India's concern with respect to this Indo-Nepal trade treaty is first thing is India wanted to have an open border while Nepal wanted to have more restricted border so this will huddle this India's movement of trade to this Nepal so India wanted to have more open door policies and second thing is most of their weapons through this noise has been transmitted through this Indo-Nepal border only so India wanted to have contained this amount of weapons to be transmitted to the Maoist through this Indo-Nepal border these are the major concern of India with respect to this India-Nepal treaty this recent MOS that we have in undergoing this talking and with respect to this Nepal concern is first and foremost thing is Nepal wanted to increase much of India's investment in Nepal because India's investment is account for 40 percentage of GDP of Nepal so by having more investment of India in Nepal will lead to development of the Nepal and apart from this Nepal wanted to reduce the trade deficit with respect with respect to India because Nepal is completely depending majority of the Nepal is completely economies depend on India and this leads to much more trade deficit and the Nepal wanted to have reduced this trade deficit thereby they wanted to have free access for this in Nepal is Nepal products in India and apart from this Nepal wanted to reduce this non-tariff that has been put India on this Nepal projects Nepal goods and apart from this Nepal wanted to have a preferential treatment for the neighbors thereby it will give more and more surplus amount of facilities for this Nepal is to have trade with India so Nepal this major concern is to reduce this trade deficit that is the major objective that has been talking with respect to review of this Nepal Indo-Nepal trade treaty with that thing we will end today's conversation thank you have a nice day
