The DMK on Monday started its preliminary seatsharing talks with Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi (VCK), a party with a strong dalit base. However, sources close to the DMK said they were yet to discuss the number of seats. “We have discussed the new formula for the upcoming assembly elections. The DMK has already stated that it’s ready to share 22 seats with the VCK, Kongunadu Munnetra Kazhagam (KMK) and other small parties, which means the seats the DMK front had shared with the Left parties in the 2006 elections will be shared with small parties this time,” said a senior VCK leader.

Hard pressed to demonstrate actionable steps on tackling corruption in the wake of recent scams,theUPAgovernmenthas initiated a series of steps to clean up the bureaucracy .
The government has decided toincludecorruptionasakeyindicator in the performance management evaluation of the various ministries that was put in place last year. Moreover, Cabinet secretary KM Chandrasekhar, who heads a committee of secretaries constituted to look into complaints against senior bureaucrats, has decided to hold weekly meetings for disposalof pendingcases.
The committee, set up last year,comprisessecretariestothe PrimeMinister,theCentralVigilance Commissioner, DoPT, and Secretary (Coordination) in the Cabinet Secretariat. Chandrasekhar was learnt to have written to the concerned ministries seeking clarifications on complaintsagainstbureaucrats.
"Thereareabout20to30cases pending against Secretaries in different ministries. We have decided to hold weekly meetings to dispose of them. Many of these complainants are anonymous andmanyatimechargesarefrivolous. But whenever we have found serious complaints, we have forwarded them to the CVC," said a top bureaucrat who isapartof thiscommittee.
Sources said the complaints against secretaries range from "serioustobanal".Forinstance, there is a complaint against a former Secretary in the ministry of road transport & highways that the NHAI had to pay Rs 27 lakh for his eight-day stay in a five-star hotel. Another high-profileSecretaryfacesalle gation of "rude behaviour".
"Itcouldbeverydemoralising for a senior officer if harassed withfrivolouscomplaints.So,we disposeof suchcasesatourlevel.
But, whenever there is something serious, we treat it with equal seriousness," said a memberof thecommittee.
According to senior officials in the Cabinet Secretariat, ministries will also be asked to identify specific areas in government departments that are potential breeding grounds for corruption. These indicators are to be included in the Results Framework Document (RFDs) that each ministry has to submit to measure their performance levels at the end of the year.
The review mechanism, that sets performance targets for individual ministries, was implemented last year with RFDs being signed between the minister and the secretary in 62 ministries.Theonlyexceptionswere the ministries of home, finance, defence, MEA and PMO besides theplanningcommission.

India Inc slams making CSR spend mandatory
Our views
Our views
Indian corporate companies continuously denying reservation for SC/ST opposing by parliamentary bill. Now they want stall the parliamentary bill on CSR . Govt should consider to made it mandatory apportionment of CSR fund according to the population of SC/ST.
Attempts by corporate affairs minister Murli Deora to make corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending mandatory in the new Companies Bill has come in for sharp criticism. While accepting the significance of CSRactivities,leadingmembers of India Inc said that any attempt to make it mandatory would be a "retrograde" step. Rahul Bajaj, chairman of Bajaj Auto and an industrialist vocal on policy issues, said that since corporate houses were already engaged in various CSR initiatives, there was no case for making it mandatory . "I have spoken to Murli Deora (corporate affairs minister) on the issue. Since CSR spending is a question of conscience, there is no case for making it mandatory ," Bajaj said.
Healsodismissedthegovernment's view that the industry was divided on the matter. "No responsible industrialist can ask for making it mandatory ," he said.
Bajaj also said that since therewasnoacceptabledefinition for CSR, the move is not in the right direction.
Agrees Tata Communications chairman Subodh Bhargava when he says that since CSR spending was entirely a corporate entity's personal choice, no legislation was needed. Bhargava said that if the government finally decides to make the clause mandatory, then it could also lead to manipulation. "If a company's intent is not to invest in CSR, then no law in land could change that," he said.
Maruti Suzuki chairman RC Bhargava said that distribution of net profit should be decided by shareholders and not the government.Hequestionedthegov ernment'sabilitytomonitor how companies were spending on CSR and what constitutes CSR. "The issue really is on the practical side of makingtheproposalmandatory. Today, the government wants to pass a law on how companies should distribute profits. Tomorrow, it may be on something else.
How does the story end?" On Thursday, corporate affairs minister Deora had said that he was "personally" in favour of making it mandatory for companies to set aside 2% of their net profits on CSR activities.
His deputy in the ministry RPN Singh had also said that the government was trying to reach a consensus on the issue.
Moser Baer chairman Deepak Puri said that while he was a supporter of CSR, any move to make the proposal mandatory would be counterproductive. "Within Moser Baer, the board of directors have approved CSR investments of up to 1%.
While CSR is a necessity, it should not be thrust upon companies. That's not right," Puri said. Senior corporate lawyer Lalit Bhasin termed the government's proposal as a retrograde step. He argued that industry was within its rights to oppose the move.
"There has to be a legal basis for implementing such a move. Let the proposal be voluntary; otherwise, companies can misuse it by finding a way around the law," Bhasin said.
An industry leader who did not wish to be named said that the government's stand on the issue would take India back to the licence raj. "The government should not dictate how companies are going to plan out their expenditure. If the proposal does become law, then it would be unfortunate," he said. The issue first came to light when the parliamentary standing committee on finance headed by senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha proposed mandatory implementation of CSR spending. The committee argued that companies which have a net worth of Rs 500 crore or more, or turnover of Rs 1,000 crore should set aside 2% of their average net profits for the last three financial years for CSR. Sinha told FE that the proposal had the support of the ministry of corporate affairs as well. "Every company must spend 2% of their profits on CSR. We are trying to employ social responsibility for the corporate sector. If voluntary action has not worked, then it has to become mandatory," he said.

Miffed PT asks AIADMK to allot at least 9 seats
Krishnasamy hopes Jayalalithaa will consider demand
“Poor allocation dashed the spirit of office-bearers”
“Party needs at least nine seats to get EC recognition”
Expressing unhappiness over allocation of two Assembly seats, Puthiya Tamizhagam leader K. Krishnasamy has requested AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa to allot at least nine seats to his party.
Talking to reporters after the district secretaries' meeting of the party, Dr. Krishnasamy the said the poor allocation had dashed the spirit of office-bearers and would reflect during election work.
He said the party needed at least nine seats to get the recognition of the Election Commission and galvanise cadres.
Asked why he accepted two seats in the first place, Dr. Krishnasamy said that he did not want to react negatively at that time since the PT was the first to sign an agreement with the AIADMK.
“Moreover Ms. Jayalalithaa said more parties, including the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), will join the alliance and she needed seats for those parties. Since the PMK has joined the DMK alliance she can consider our case,” he said.
Dr. Krishnasamy said he had also written to Ms Jayalalithaa seeking more seats. The PT had submitted a list of 24 constituencies to the AIADMK leadership.
He said that a 15-member committee had been constituted to hold talks with the seat-sharing committee of the AIADMK. He also has decided to meet Ms Jayalalithaa to request more seats.
Asked what would be his stand if she refused to allot more seats, he said, “I hope she will consider our reasonable demand.”

Dalits pay the price for their political assertion
Recent violence against them shows a pattern with economically stable households being the primary targets
In scores of cases, upliftment/empowerment and political assertion by Dalits have resulted in a simultaneous increase in their oppression by caste Hindus and dominant castes. The mindless violence unleashed upon Dalit households on Sunday in Paralipudur village in Dindigul district is one such case.
Paralipudur has a predominant population of Mutharaiyars (also called Muthurajas and Valaiyars) and almost all nearby villages — Kodangipatti, Vemparali, Kadavur, Lingapatti, Vathipatti and Kavarapatti — are populated by them with the Dalits a minority in this belt.
The immediate cause of the attack was a confrontation between Paraiyars (sect of Dalits) and Mutharaiyars over hoisting of flags on an overhead water tank. Youth belonging to the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi had pasted posters bearing images of B.R. Ambedkar and Thol. Thirumavalavan and hoisted a flag atop the tank after a wedding ceremony. This invited the wrath of the Mutharaiyars, who hoisted their association flag.
VCK cadre removed the flags following the intervention of elders of both castes but the flag of Mutharaiyars was still there. The flag was reportedly garlanded with footwear by miscreants. This incident was the trigger for them to unleash violence against the Dalits.
Pattern of violence
The violence against the Dalits here shows a pattern (more like Kodiyankulam), in which Dalit households which were economically stable were the primary targets.
Caste Hindus carrying iron rods, clubs and petrol cans went on the rampage after switching off power supply (a similar incident happened at Mela Orappanur near Madurai in 2005), burnt down haystacks, cattlesheds, brought down tiled roof of many houses and stole valuables, including jewellery, says P. Jayakumar (25) of Indira Nagar.
It was large-scale destruction of property. A few houses and shops were burnt down completely; many houses were damaged and ransacked.
The destruction was not limited to objects of everyday use, but also on sources of livelihood such as cattle, agricultural implements, pushcarts and sewing machines. Almost 85 houses both in Indira Nagar and Ambedkar Colony in the village have been damaged.
A couple of Dalit elders said that the caste Hindus were unable to digest the upward mobility of Dalits and their political assertion under the VCK. Erection of flagpoles, posters and banners by Dalit youth during various occasions has been seen as threats to their social status of dominance.
The Dalit colony, which has close to 150 families, has a good number of people who are graduates. A few of them are working in government offices. Most of them work as agricultural labourers and construction workers and a few do assorted jobs in Madurai city and are not dependent on the Mutharaiyars for work as they once were. The Dalit women say they need adequate police protection.
Various human rights organisations and fact-finding teams, comprising writers and advocates, have visited the village. In their reports, they have stated that the mass attack on Dalits is a bad precedent and must be curbed with an iron hand.
They further say that the Dalits suffered huge losses that warrant payment of adequate compensation by the State government. They complain that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act has not been invoked and many major sections were left out.
Social scientists have found that attacks on Dalits who are politically assertive have become common. This phenomenon of controlling Dalits through violence and disciplining when ideological control has no hold is largely found among middle castes and castes, which are on the threshold of untouchability.
Police sources say that people belonging to Mutharaiyars, who were involved in the attack were actually mobilised for their attempt to erect a statue of Perumbidigu Mutharaiyar at Natham Bus Stand. They were diverted to Paralipudur following rumours that their flag was desecrated.
Minister for Revenue, I. Periasamy, visited the village on Wednesday and interacted with the residents.

Five chosen for Ambedkar Award
Congrats to our Postmaster General /MM for his achievements.
 |
| Dr. K.Ramachandirann PMG/MM is receiving Dr.Ambedkar award for Excellency-2010 from Former supreme court justice Sri S.Mohan |
Indian Science Monitor, a non-profit institute here involved in promoting scientific temper, has chosen five persons for Dr. B.R.Ambedkar Award for Excellence 2010.
They are E.M. Sudarsana Natchiappan, MP (for contributions in the field of political science); R.W. Alexander Jesudasan, principal, Madras Christian College (research in entomology); K. Ramachandran, Post Master General (innovative activities in postal services); S. Velvizhi, Senior Scientist, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Nagapattinam, (popularising and streamlining marine-based livelihood options to rural communities); and D. Dayalan, Superintending Archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India (integrating electronic and digital technology in archaeological interpretation).
Speaking at a function organised here on Wednesday in this connection, former judge of the Supreme Court S. Mohan appealed for societal recognition of intellectuals and scientists.
“It is unfortunate that they do not get the recognition they deserve while politicians, cine actors and even blackmarketeers get all the publicity,” he lamented.
Justice Mohan said that “shabby treatment” meted out to the intellectual community resulted in brain drain.
T.K.V. Rajan, founder-director, ISM, said the objective of this institute was to transmit relevant scientific data from ancient, mediaeval and modern science to the scientists and concerned citizens. It also aimed at generating awareness among the public of the impact of science and technology on society.
