The studies include a national level survey undertaken in partnership with the ASER survey that tracks school level grants at a national scale and a detailed district level study that tracks the entire gamut of expenditure from teacher salaries to civil works and school grants in elementary education. In 2014, PAISA launched two new studies in the area of Panchayat finances and health. This seminar will present detailed findings from each of these studies. The particular focus of the discussions will be on how to relate fund tracking work with the changing architecture of fiscal federalism in India.

Talk by Dr Emmanuel Teitelbaum:
Economic Sources of Political Violence in Rural India

How do insurgent groups mobilize popular support for their movements in resource-scarce environments? South Asia provides fertile ground for the investigation of this question. Over the past quarter century, the region has witnessed a number of violent political movements, including Maoist-led insurgencies in Nepal and India’s ‘Red Corridor,’ an ethno-linguistic conflict in Sri Lanka, an internationalized civil conflict in Jammu and Kashmir, and secessionist tribal movements in India’s Northeast. While the ideology and underlying goals of these movements have varied tremendously, they all began in regions lacking in natural resource wealth and depended heavily upon support from the local population in the early stages of their movements. This talk will compare the ways in which insurgent organizations mobilized civilian support across these different contexts. It will emphasize the role of economic grievances arising from rigidities in informal labour markets, and will focus primarily upon the recent experience of the Maoist movement in different locations in India’s ‘Red Corridor.’
Dr Teitelbaum is an Associate Professor in Political Science at George Washington University, Washington DC. His focus areas include comparative politics, the political economy of labour, economic development and the politics of South Asia. His most recent book, Mobilizing Restraint: Democracy and Industrial Protest in Post-Reform South Asia (Cornell University Press, 2011) explores the dynamics of state-labour relations following the implementation of economic reforms in South Asia.

पाकिस्तान द्वारा नेपाल में भूकम्प पीड़ितों को भेजी राहत सामग्री में गौमांस का विहिप ने किया कड़ा विरोध
नई  दिल्ली अप्रेल 30, 2015. पाकिस्तान द्वारा नेपाल में भूकम्प पीड़ितों को भेजी राहत सामग्री में गौमांस मिले होने पर विश्व हिन्दू परिषद ने कड़ा विरोधजताया है. विहिप दिल्ली के महा मंत्री श्री रामकृष्ण श्रीवास्तव ने सहायता के नाम पर पाकिस्तान की ओछी मानसिकता को धिक्कारते हुए कहा है कि भगवान न करे, ऐसी आपदा अगर पाकिस्तान में आई होती, लोग हफ़्तों से भूखे प्यासे हों और उनको खाने के लिए सूअर (pig) का मास दे दिया जाये तो क्या ये मानवता सम्मत होगा? ऐसी सामग्री क्या राहत सामग्री कहलायेगी?
विहिप दिल्ली के प्रवक्ता श्री विनोद बंसल ने कहा है की जिस तरह की प्राकृतिक आपदा आज नेपाल के सामने खड़ी है, ईश्वर न करे, किसी और देश के सामने खड़ी हो। अनेक देशों ने नेपाल की तरफ सहायता का हाथ बढ़ाया है। लेकिन सहायता के नाम पर अगर कोई अपनी ओछी मानसिकता का प्रयोग करें तो आप इसे क्या कहेगे ? भूखे प्यासे लोगों को हम ऐसी भोज्य सामग्री भेजें जो उनके लिए धार्मिक भावनाओं के अनुरूप न हों। पाक द्वारा भेजी गई सभी खाद्य सामग्री में गोमांस का प्रयोग किया गया है। नेपाल में डॉक्टरों ने इसकी पुष्टि की है।
विहिप के प्रांत महा मंत्री ने यह भी कहा है कि भीषण आपदा में भी पीड़ितों के प्रति ऐसी मानसिकता यह सावित करती है की पाक भूख से तड़फते लोगों को जबरन गो मॉस खिलाना चाहता है। उन्हींने पूछा कि भगवान न करे, ऐसी आपदा अगर पाकिस्तान में आई होती, लोग हफ़्तों से भूखे प्यासे हों और उनको खाने के लिए सूअर (pig) का मास दे दिया जाये तो क्या ये मानवता सम्मत होगा? ऐसी सामग्री क्या राहत सामग्री कह लायेगी। धिक्कार है ऐसी मानसिकता वाले देश पर और उसकी रहत सामग्री पर।

HP Improves Productivity and Versatility in Large-Format Printing
Latest HP Latex and HP Scitex printers and presses help businesses reach new customers and new profit pools
NEW DELHI, India, May 1, 2015 – HP today at Print China 2015 announced new HP Latex and Scitex wide format graphics printers, presses and inks to help print service providers (PSPs) specializing in the sign and visual communications industry deliver results faster and at a lower total cost.
–         HP Latex 370 Printer enables more unattended printing at lower operational costs with higher capacity ink cartridges and the HP Latex Mobile App, now available, monitors print jobs remotely for peace of mind while away from the printer.
–         HP Scitex FB550 and FB750 Printers provide PSPs an entrance into rigid with one of the most compact printers equipped with an enhanced loading system, increasing workflow for improved profitability.
–         HP Scitex 11000 Industrial Press provides increased versatility and better surface durability with new overcoat technology.
–         For corrugated converters, HP also announced the HP Scitex 15500 Corrugated Press with media handling for warped boards and economical HP HDR230 Scitex Inks.
“PSPs and converters are challenged to do more applications and keep productivity high, while reducing costs and working with limited space,” said Jeff de Kleijn, director and general manager, Graphics Solutions Business – Sign & Display, HP Asia Pacific and Japan. “Backed by HP Latex and Scitex technologies, the new printers address demanding PSP needs for lowering operational costs, increasing workflow efficiencies and broadening application versatility to drive profitable growth.”

Increasing Capacity for Greater Production with HP Latex

Designed for confident, unattended printing in high production PSP environments, the  64-inch HP Latex 370 Printer with the new 3-liter cartridges helps keep running costs low. It prints from traditional signage substrates like vinyl and banners to temporary textiles, canvas and wallpapers, increasing margins (1) and productivity via the ability to change cartridges while printing and maintaining the high quality at high speed, instant dry and scratch resistance benefits of the 3rd generation of latex inks.
Available now, the HP Latex Mobile App enables users to confidently increase unattended printing by remotely tracking jobs and receiving alerts on the status of the printer on their Smartphone screen. In addition, HP will offer HP Mobile App on tablets(2)this fall, including extra functionality in metrics and localizations so that customers can monitor monthly usage by printer to track jobs while away from the shop.
HP has announced the public release of its new HP Latex software developers kit (SDK), which allows third-party workflow and MIS developers to integrate their tools with HP Latex 370 printers for seamless workflow integration.
For HP Latex 871 and HP Latex 370 printers, 3M™ MCS™ Warranty, widely recognized as the industry’s most comprehensive finished graphics warranty, is now available when using approved 3M films. Combining the quality and flexibility of HP Latex Inks with the 3M™ MCS™ Warranty, which covers fading, cracking and peeling, the new offering helps PSPs secure business with discerning vehicle and fleet graphics customers without paying a premium for specialty inks.

Expand high value applications with HP Scitex
With high uptime and automatic maintenance, the HP Scitex Printers are proven robust, easy-to-use workhorses printing on both rigid and flexible media with a single device. The HP Scitex FB550 and HP Scitex FB750 now offer a new tabletop roll holder design for flexible substrates enabling easy, fast and efficient short-run printing, and new tapered wheels for easy and safe media loading, preventing media edge damage.
HP Scitex FB550 Printer and HP Scitex FB750 Printer offer greater image quality and full bleed on max widths with the same capability of printing on virtually any rigid or flexible media(3) (up to 2.5 inches). The printers increase productivity by 12 percent (4) in indoor signage print modes and deliver orders quickly by loading, printing and collecting media simultaneously. These printers help customers get into specialties with white ink(5), matte/gloss and textured effects, all while being one of the most compact printers on the market.
With the new HP Scitex 11000 Industrial Press, customers can increase versatility and productivity for their high volume indoor signage and display applications. PSPs can now cost effectively produce short runs to meet tight turnarounds. The new HP Scitex Smart Coat Technology provides surface durability without an additional overcoat. This places a thin, invisible layer on top of the image to enhance rigidity and protect against rubs, without compromising on flexibility.
“The print quality of the POP Production mode has allowed me to increase my productivity,” said Steve Wardwell, Manager of Prepress and Digital Print, Stevenson Color Inc. “I have been using the new HDR250 inks with Smart Coat option, which gives my prints good surface durability. The new configuration has reduced my running costs.”
HP Scitex 15500 Corrugated Press now has unique capabilities that help corrugated converters digitally print high value corrugated applications. This press offers automated stack to stack, hands-free operations, and an innovative media handling system that prints on warped boards, and economic inks designed for paper board applications, driving down costs and improving the break-even point. Converters can now produce higher volumes of short runs at low cost and can help improve their margins.
“We’ve seen a significant improvement in media hold down with the Corrugated Grip,” said Guy Frenkel, managing director at Carmel Frenkel. “There’s no need to manually bend the media before stacking, and the machine runs non-stop, so my operators are free for other activities. With the new configuration of the HP Scitex 15500 press, there’s no doubt it’s the right solution for corrugators!”
These new HP Scitex devices save time and money with easy operation, automated processes and reliable results.
Compatible with HP Latex and Scitex printers, the HP Scitex Caldera GrandRIP+ Software solution now includes Caldera Grand RIP v10 software. Two times faster, the updated software unleashes the power of smart algorithmic processing and includes: the full Adobe PDF workflow with the new APPE 3.3 engine with extending tiling; Text&Repeat, a new page step and repeat functionality for increased productivity; and enhanced remote management capabilities within a fully-featured new interface.
