The Maoist movement highlights India‘s interior weaknesses, which makes India also vulnerable to external threats. As part of globalisation, threats such as the Naxalite movement can no longer be viewed as simply internal as it also affects external security. Solutions The problem calls for a three-pronged solution: social and economic development, multi-lateral dialogue and military force. Socio-economic development As the Naxalites are fuelled by discontent from the marginalised and the poor, a larger percentage of the national budget must be allocated to addressing the needs of these regions Dialogue By opening dialogue, the government can give opportunity for the rebels to join the mainstream by showing them that solutions can be created together with the government, by being part of the political system in a legitimate way Military Currently, the main instrument employed by the government to address the Naxalite threat is the increasing use of the military. While some military force is still needed to combat against the Maoist guerrillas, it should not be the only solution. By only addressing the issue by brute force, government risks alienating civilians who are caught in the middle. Coercion of the state will only encourage people to rally against it. TOPIC 18: ABOUT ONE RANK- ONE PANSION SCHEME 1.What is One Rank, One Pension? The ‗one rank, one pension‘ rule means that retired soldiers of the same rank and length of service will receive the same pension, regardless of when they retire. As of now, the date of retirement determines the amount of pension. With each Pay Commission coming up with its recommendations every 10 years, the military veterans who retire early, receive less pension as compared to those who retired later with the same rank and length of service Under OROP, a sepoy who retired in 1995, for instance, would get the same amount of pension as the one who retired in 1996. 2.Who will benefit from OROP? Ex-servicemen drawing pensions will benefit from the OROP scheme, especially those who retired before 2006. Why? Because at present, pensioners who retired before 2006 draw less pension than their counterparts and even their juniors. The scheme will benefit all three services -- air force, navy and army. Interview Complete Package By Vivaan Sharma (vibhor) 3.How much will the OROP scheme cost the government? The United Progressive Alliance government in their interim budget had announced an amount of Rs 500 crore for the scheme. However, NDA‘s Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his Budget announcement allotted Rs 1,000 crore for the scheme. 4.Why has there been so much delay in implementing OROP? Officials within the ministry of defence have been against the implementation of OROP, citing financial, administrative and legal impediments. In 2011, the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare of the MoD pointed out to a parliamentary committee that OROP was not feasible to implement since documents of military personnel are weeded out after 25 years -- which is not true. In reality, the Pension Payment Orders of pensioners, which contain all relevant details such as the rank last held and the length of service, are retained during the lifetime of each pensioner and then during the lifetime of the family pensioner in case of his demise. Further, all these details are available in a document called 'Long Roll' which is maintained in perpetuity in terms of Regulation 592 of the Regulations for the Army. Another reason given by those opposing the scheme was that ―other employees‖ would also start demanding OROP. TOPIC 19: FDI FDI (Foreign Direct Investment): FDI is described as ―investment into the business of a country by a company in another country‖. As for my perception, FDI will good for retail sector. SERVICE:As FDI introduced to India, there will be many options and choices for the customers to select goods at low prices. GDP: Our countries GDP will surely increase, as the foreign company will invest in India and they have to pay different types of taxes like service tax, sales tax, corporate tax etc. EMPLOYMENT: if the foreign company will invest in India and open their malls, they will give job opportunities to both skilled and non skilled people. INFRASTRUCTURE: FDI will improve India's infrastructure also, as the rule of FIPB (foreign investment promotion board) says that every foreign companies has to invest its 30% on their infrastructure.
