Sri Lanka is keen to move ahead in the SAARC process as it wants greater connectivity with other countries and seamless trading between the member-countries.
The SAARC Summit has been on hold since 2016, when India and 5 other nations boycotted it after the Uri attack on an Army camp. Nepal never boycotted the summit.
South Asian University, the Delhi-based institute conceptualised as a solidarity initiative by 8 SAARC nations, has test centres in Peshawar, Karachi and Lahore.
On 9 July 1991, then-PM PV Narasimha Rao addressed the nation days before the Budget presentation, admitting that the job of repairing India's sick economy won't be easy, quick, or smooth.
Air India’s new policy, effective from 2 May, introduces new weight limits for tickets in each of the different 'fare families' — Comfort, Comfort Plus, and Flex.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
@SANJIV BHATLA (for those who like to guess and throw around intellectual crap, without having an iota of grey matter in the round thing sitting on top of body called head) SAARC Development Fund (SDF) was established by the heads of the eight SAARC Member States in April 2010 with the aim to promote the welfare of the people of SAARC region, improve their quality of life, and accelerate economic growth, social progress and poverty alleviation in the region. SDF has three funding windows i.e. Social, Economic and Infrastructure Window.
The Social Window focuses on funding projects on poverty alleviation, improving health and education, and so on. Economic Window funds non-infrastructural projects related to trade and industry development, agriculture and so on. Infrastructural Window funds projects in areas such as energy, power, transportation, etc.
Currently, SDF is implementing 90 projects in all SAARC Member States under its Social, Economic and Infrastructure funding windows with a total fund commitment/allocation of USD 198.24 million. 48 projects (in 7 areas) have been successfully completed to benefit thousands of people in SAARC Member States.
Don’t keep shouting Muslim Muslim all the time, go and stay in Pakistan and do some welfare there please, or tell me a single good deed you have done for them in person.
$10 million is ₹70 crores. Where is that money going to go in the SAARC orbit? Indian companies are carrying out their own R&D and themselves funding it. Where will the research be conducted under the SAARC aegis where Narendra Modi is going to send this 70 crores? The truth of the matter is, this gentleman loves to hear his own voice, so how could he let go of an opportunity to organize a giant video conference just hear his own two penny wise talk ! How many many many crores we the poor will have to pay for this one man’s insatiable ego?
At least he does not have a Swiss bank account and he does not loot the country. ”one man’s insatiable ego?” , well, that is for Indians to judge. India being the largest, and the strongest economically, has a duty for the people in the region and hence India has to make some monetary promise which he did.
“India being the largest, and the strongest economically, has a duty for the people in the region and hence India has to make some monetary…”
The above are your words. Very true. Then how about making India open for all the refugees from the region? Does misery have a religion? I don’t care if he has a Swiss account or a Suchi account, but wasn’t Mr Modi instrumental in getting 30000 crore worth of contracts for Anil Ambani’s group, wasn’t that a loot of the country’s money, and isn’t it a fact that HAL is back in the picture for 114 jets? The examples are numerous. There is a line from Tulasi Das : “Samarath Ko naahin doash, Gosaain!” Mr Modi’s culpability is vast.
Muslims can’t be oppressed in Muslim countries. If they feel that they are, they should try to change their countries and not come to crowd out non-Muslim countries.
The ideology of I slam is responsible for the misery of Muslim countries and because I slam has the tag of being a “religion”, no “human-rights protecting nation”, unlike China, can do anything to prevent the spread of radicalism within its borders due to Muslim “refugees” who are actually not “refugees” but “economic migrants”.
The best thing therefore is to keep them away or do a South Korea like “ideology test”, used for refugees from North Korea before allowing them in. And before that can be done, we need locked borders with Bangladesh, NRC and NPR to distinguish real citizens from fake ones.
Religion should be treated as an ideology not as an ethnicity.
“Muslims can’t be oppressed in Muslim countries.” You say this. Aren’t Hindus oppressed in India? Are there no Hindus in the photos put up by Adityanath? If Modi-Shah are using Hinduism to traumatize innocent humans, then is Hinduism bad? If some Muslim who has power turns barbaric, is his religion responsible for his acts? Hitler was a Christian, is Christianity bad?
Agree with pledges
I also agree with this pledge
