1: 3D Printing : 3D print
modules can be used to construction of houses in less time . One
possible use can be disaster management when reconstruction activity
has to be completed in less time.
2: CCI : Competition commission
of India has mandate to look into anti-competitive practices by
companies and various agencies.
3: Turkey : Is a NATO member and has been attacked by ISIS terrorist activity . The response will be awaited soon.
4: Indo-Israel : India and
Israel have diplomatic relations since 1992 . Indo-Israel relations
are set to get strengthened with high level dignitaries visiting
Isreal . This was further signified when India abstained from UNHRC
resolution for voting against Israel .
5: Education : Giving opinion
should be more elaborate process rather than holding view to
particular zone. Example can be taken about how technology can be
used to improve teacher monitoring. The question should be asked if
technology should be used to monitor teachers in schools. The process
diminishes high moral ground , trust , autonomy , responsibility ,
dignity associated.
6: Net Neutrality : DoT report
on net neutrality has come up which has brought the debate to the
front. The report has mentioned that zero rating issue shall be
taken up by TRAI. The report has proposed licensing system for VoIP
services. Further it said that OTT can lead to revenue loss and
should be brought under regulation .
7: Japan : Wants to change its
security doctrine . The proposed change in the doctrine is to change
it from self defense to collective self defense. This will enable
Japanese forces to fight in foreign lands in support of allays (
USA-China angle ). In addition Shizo Abe had proposed strategic
diamond involving The USA-Australia-Japan-India . These changes
should be seen in light of territorial dispute involving China-Japan
in East china sea ( Senkaku island ) and Asia Pivot project of The
USA in recent times.
Expert comment : Not much on
significant news to today. 3D printing was asked in 2013 exam . Net
neutrality issue demands comprehensive write up as series of articles
have come up in Hindu. One international front domestic proceedings
in Japan will have Geo-political significane in Asia-Pacific region.
Improving quality of education impated in government schools is
difficult task government in facing at the moment. CCI keeps on
coming in news now and then . CCI has important task to avert market
failure by ensuring fair competitive market in India. Indo-Israel
relations are set to get boost by present India Government.
Fun Observation : The Hindu is giving
suggestion on foreign Policy to Japan as if Japanese Ambassador will
read the editorial and convey the same to Shizo Abe .
