The number of cases disposed by Gram Nyayalayas is negligible and they do not make any substantial difference in the overall pendency in the subordinate courts.  Functioning Gram Nyayalayas have been established on parttime basis (weekly once or twice) and are not in addition to the existing courts. o However it has been observed that in most villages courts are held only once or twice a month while in others the frequency is even worse mostly due to the lack of coordination between High Courts and state governments. o They have been grappling with systemic defects lack of practice of recording case data and status lack of political will etc.  Lack of awareness Many of the stakeholders including the litigants lawyers police officers and others are not even aware about the existence of Gram Nyayalayas in the district court premises and no conferences or seminars have been organized for creating awareness about this institution. o Further there is ambiguity and confusion regarding the specific jurisdiction of Gram Nyayalayas due to the existence of alternative forums such as labour courts family courts etc. Way Forward  Establishment of permanent Gram Nyayalayas They may be established in every Panchayats at intermediate level or group of contiguous Panchayats at intermediate level depending upon the number of disputes which normally arise from that area Shine india monthly magazine buy.

(FBIL) including Treasury bill rates. DECLINING INVESTMENTS IN PNOTES Why in News? Investments in the Indian capital market through participatory notes (Pnotes) have hit a nearly 11year low by the end of December 2019. The use of Pnotes has been on a decline since 2017. Reasons of such declining trend  Tightening of rules on Pnotes o Recently Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mandated that some of the existing FPIs will have to get separate registrations if they want to issue pnotes based on derivatives. o Less favourable treatment of nonFATF member jurisdictions such as Mauritius from the perspective of higher KYC restrictions. o Issuers will also have to file suspicious transaction reports with the Indian Financial Intelligence Unit on PNotes. o Carry out reconfirmation of the PNote position on a semiannual basis besides carrying out KYC reviews every year. o Until 2016 PNote subscribers were not required to seek the issuers prior permission for transferring the instrument to another investor offshore. But since then the regulator needs to be updated with the complete transfer trail of PNotes on a monthly basis. About Participatory Notes competition success review annual subscription buy.

Coral mining Live coral is removed from reefs for use as bricks etc. o Ocean acidification With increased pollution Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by Ocean leading to rise in Carbonic acid in water. As Coral has Calcium carbonate as main component it reacts with Carbonic acid and slowly dissolves down.  According to a study since 1982 three mass bleaching events occurred in 1998 2010 and 2016 have occurred in India. It is in this context that coral restoration activities are being taken up. Measures taken for Coral Restoration Global Measures  world focus magazine buy.
