Ek Bharat
Shreshtha Bharat
On the occasion of 140th birth anniversary of
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pitched for
“Ek Bharat, Shresth Bharat” scheme and said, “unity, peace and harmony was the
first condition for India to achieve new heights of development”.
Here are the five things you should know about
the "Ek Bharat, Shresth Bharat" scheme.
1) The "Ek Bharat, Shresth Bharat"
scheme draws inspiration from the life of India's freedom fighter Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel. The prime minister recalled Sardar Patel's initiatives as
mayor of Ahmedabad during the 1920s, including a campaign for cleanliness and a
proposal for 50 percent reservation for women.
2) The government has formed a committee to
work out the modalities of the scheme in consultation with the states
3) The 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' initiative
will be launched soon under which every state will choose another state each
year and then promote its language and culture.
4) Students of a particular state would travel
to another state to learn each other's culture.
5) According to the scheme, two states will
undertake a unique partnership for one year which would be marked by cultural
and student exchanges.
Bharat National
Car Assessment Program (Bharat-NCAP)
India will have its own New Car Assessment
Programme (NCAP) from 2017. It is likely to be called the Bharat New Car
Assessment Programme and the cars that will be tested will need to comply with certain
regulations. NCAP covers safety in various aspects like front, side and rear
impacts and pedestrian and child safety.
India will be the first country to consider
pedestrian protection in case of a car crash.
Bharat NCAP will issue ratings between 0.5 and
4.5 for cars that pass the frontal impact tests at 56 kph. 5 star ratings will
be awarded to cars passing frontal crash tests at 64 kph. The speed for side crash
tests is set at 50 kph.
The manufacturers would have to equip their
cars with airbags and child restraints to pass the tests.
Some additional features such as a warning beep
at the speed of 80 kph and a loud alert after 100 kph will help the car in
getting higher ratings.
Getting safety ratings from Bharat NCAP will be
voluntary for manufacturers.
However, a good rating could prove to be a
deciding factor for the customers during purchase of any new car.
Green Urban
Transport Scheme (GUTS)
The central Government is planning to launch a
new scheme to improve green urban transport. Named
as Green Urban Transport Scheme (GUTS), the
scheme aims to develop and improve climate friendly transport system in urban areas across the
country.
Objective of Green Urban Transport Scheme
(GUTS)
The main objective of the scheme is to reduce
the carbon footprint and bring in the sustainable transport system. The scheme
will help provide a sustainable framework for funding urban mobility projects
with minimum recourse to budgetary support by encouraging innovative financing
of projects.
The central government would allocate Rs.
25,000 crore for the implementation of GUTS. The government is currently
working on the new policy initiative to encourage private investments in climate
friendly and sustainable public transport systems like Metro rail, non-motorized
transport and other low carbon emitting systems in urban areas.
Under the GUTS the government would focus on
creating non-motorized transport infrastructure, adoption of intelligent
transport systems (ITS), increasing access to public transport and use of clean
technologies and participation of private sector would be encouraged. The
cities and urban areas where populations are 5 Lakh or above are being
considered for the implementation of the scheme.
The initial investment of Rs. 25,000 crore by
the central government would encourage private investment in allocating
resources for GUTS for the next 5 years.
