My Innings as DDG at Army HQ

     In the beginning of Mar 2002, while Op PARAKRAM was still in progress, I reported in Army HQ to take charge as Deputy Director General, DDG (Equipment Management) in MGO Branch. It was an exciting moment to enter the South Block for the first time in my career, for shouldering new responsibilities, in an entirely new role, in an entirely new Organisation. It took me almost a month to understand the magnitude of the tasks involving “Equipment Management”. I was in the core group for the purchase, procurement, stocking and release of all types of equipment, for all the Units & Formations of the Army. It entailed inventory management of diverse weapon systems & ammunition, a large variety of combat vehicles for specific requirements of each Arm/Service, complex communication equipment and a range of clothing including special clothing for high altitude terrain. Additionally, the  entire supply chain management had to be monitored to ensure that the right equipment, of the right quality & in the right quantity, reaches the right location, at the right time. The challenges were numerous with multiple solutions.

     Soon on arrival in Delhi, I was allotted temporary accommodation in Army Battle Honours Mess. I got accustomed to the new lifestyle of carrying pack lunch & commuting by the Army Bus. The new office timings (9 AM to 5 PM) and observing a five day week were some other major  changes. It was quite a learning experience about new office procedures as well, since the MGO Branch had to interact with all the Command HQ  and the officials in the MOD (Ministry of Defence) & the OFB (Ordnance Factory Board) frequently. In the first week of Apr, I went to Bagrakote & returned to Delhi along with my mother, Sanjivani & Aditya. We shifted to temporary accommodation in Shankar Vihar complex, near the domestic Airport. Soon thereafter, Aditya got admission in Xth standard in Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan. Incidentally, our children looked forward to this process of change consequent to each posting, which certainly laid the foundation of their personality development.

    In order to familiarise myself  with the functions of the Ordnance Depots & the Base Workshops, I visited Agra, Kanpur, Jabalpur & Pulgaon  in the first one month.  In addition, I got an opportunity to attend the Review Meeting at OFB, located at Kolkata. It enabled an update about  the progress of achievement of targets by various production agencies and the PSUs, as also the progress of procurement of equipment and ammunition ex- import. Thereafter, we had the six monthly Review Conference at MGO Branch, which was chaired by the MGO and attended by the DGOS,  DGEME and the MG Adm of each Command HQas also  the members of the OFB. We had to modify our plans and  allot the critical requirements to each  Command HQ.  It was always a race against time, specially for equipment management of the formations deployed on the LOC & the LAC. Necessary priority was also accorded  to formations deployed  in Counter Insurgency operations as also the units deployed on the Siachen Glacier. It was a great learning experience personally, facing entirely new challenges, which I had never visualised earlier.

     In the end of May 2002, I felt elated to be selected as a member of MGO Branch  Delegation for an official visit to USA. Our schedule  included visits to several logistics establishments and the OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) involved in manufacture of defence equipment. We had just one month to plan our itinerary, prepare the agenda for discussions for each visit and finalise the  arrangements for travel & stay during our visit.  Finally, in the last week of Jun, we took off by Air India, on our maiden long duration flight. On arrival in New York, we were received by our Defence Attache, who escorted us thereafter during the entire Tour. Our schedule commenced with an impressive briefing at the Operations Support Command. 

     Thereafter, we visited several Defence establishments and the OEMs on the West Coast and progressed in a sequence for completion of visits on the East Coast. The visit to the US Army Aviation Centre was really special. In fact every visit was unique and provided us an opportunity to visit local  tourist attractions as well. In the end, we came to New York and boarded the return flight, with memories of this professional experience. On return to Army HQ, we prepared the Delegation Report  and submitted it to the MOD, which was followed by a Presentation. I will always cherish this life time opportunity of a Defence Delegation.

     Meanwhile, we were allotted permanent accommodation in Sardar Patel Marg complex, which was just adjacent to the Taj & Maurya Sheraton hotels. It was a coincidence that Ashvini & Nandini had come over to  spend their summer vacation. So, all the members of the family again contributed their expertise of packing, shifting and unpacking before settling down in our new Home!! We organised visits to some of the major tourist spots in Delhi on the week ends. In the end, we went for a short trip to Jaipur, popularly known as the Pink City. It was a refreshing break for all of us, before Ashvini & Nandini’s  departure for Pune.  

     I continued my routine visits to various Ordnance Depots and the PSUs, on case by case basis. However, the most memorable visit was to the  Siachen Base Camp. I went there to acquaint myself urgently, about  the critical requirements of special clothing & equipment authorised to the Siachen Brigade. Initially, I went to Leh by the IAF Courier from Delhi  and completed the acclimatisation process at Leh. Subsequently, I travelled by road from Leh to Partapur, crossing enroute the famous Khardungla Pass located at 18,000 feet. This journey itself was a breathtaking experience literally. I had a night halt at the Brigade HQ at  Partapur before  proceeding ahead to Siachen Base Camp, which is located at 12,000 feet. I observed the rigorous training & acclimatisation being conducted at Siachen Battle School. It was a prerequisite before the induction of  Infantry Battalions & support elements onto the Siachen Glacier. I was also briefed about the logistic plans for supply & replenishment of various posts and methods of  casualty evacuation which were vital for operations in the challenging terrain and climatic conditions on the Glacier. I returned to Delhi after two weeks, with profound respect for all the Siachen Warriors.

       Next major event was the Army Commanders Conference in Oct. We had to compile the latest status of all types of equipment held by the formations, ascertain the essential requirements and prepare a plan for making up the deficiencies from the stocks held in the Ordnance Depots. In the Conference, all the Command HQ gave a review of their activities and projected their critical requirements. Similar Presentations were given by all the Branches & Directorates at the Army HQ. It was a great opportunity since I learnt about the methodology of integration of all operational and logistics  plans, with a long term perspective. The ultimate aim was to continually enhance the levels of operational preparedness, with higher priority for operations on the LOC & LAC as also the Counter Insurgency operations and the Siachen Glacier.

      2003 commenced with the preparations for the Army Day Parade & the Republic Day events. It was a privilege as we availed the chance to witness the magnificent Republic Day Parade, from the main enclosure reserved for the Armed Forces. The latest equipment on display was a matter of pride not only for the Contingents but equally for the MGO Branch. All the celebrations culminated with a splendid Beating the Retreat ceremony at Vijay Chowk followed by the illumination of Rashtrapati  Bhavan and North & South Block.

      It is often said --- “Time & tide wait for none.” It proved to be true as  one year of my tenure was completed so quickly, enriched with so many professional experiences.  Aditya completed his Board Exams and while  the results were awaited, Ashvini & Nandini  joined us for another summer vacation. This time, we visited the remaining tourist attractions in Delhi on every weekend. The most enjoyable visit was to the famous Red Fort where we learnt about it’s historical significance by watching the Sound and Light Show. 

     Thereafter, I arranged a short trip  to visit  Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. Our visit to the iconic Taj Mahal ---- one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was the most wonderful experience.

          By now, the results of the Board Exam were declared and Aditya was delighted with a score of  90%. It was perhaps destined that Aditya would pursue higher education in Pune as we decided to shift base. I took Annual Leave for a month and all of us went  to Pune. We completed the admission process in Fergusson College and rented accommodation in Kothrud. It enabled all the children to stay together and enjoy their college life. Sanjivani also stayed on in Pune and once again shouldered the responsibility as their coach, guide and mentor. I returned to Delhi and experienced an “Empty Nest” feeling for the first time!!

     There was yet another important  assignment  when I was detailed as a representative of MGO Branch to witness the trials and evaluation of BPJs (Bullet Proof Jackets). I had to attend these trials in different locations and carry out the comparative analysis. All the subsequent procedures till the finalisation of the  contract by the MOD were an educative experience. We continued to obtain monthly feedback about the state of holdings of equipment from the Command HQ and check progress of target fixation from the OFB. This ensured  that the rate of supply was always faster than the rate of expenditure, specially in case of weapons and ammunition. The result of this proactive approach was higher state of combat readiness and enhanced user satisfaction at all levels. At the MGO Branch, it created a ripple effect of enthusiasm resulting in setting higher targets, stringent timelines and further improvement of the supply chain management.

     In Jan 2004, Defence Expo was organised in Pragati Maidan. All of us at the MGO Branch attended this event since the exhibition showcased the latest trends and technological developments pertaining to military equipment. Thereafter, I got  another opportunity to witness the traditional Republic Day Parade and associated celebrations. Next month, I was delighted to be selected as a part of another Defence Delegation for visiting a few countries in Europe ----- Finland, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.  Our Delegation was specifically assigned the responsibility to examine the latest developments in Snow-clothing, Snowmobiles  and Mountaineering Equipment essential in Snow Bound area.  We left Delhi on 15 Mar 2004, and over the next two weeks visited several  OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) in Helsinki, Geneva, Berne, Zurich, Vienna, Rome and Venice.

        We were shown the manufacturing process by each Firm and given a demonstration of the equipment in the Alps. We also got an opportunity to cross the Arctic Circle while travelling North of Helsinki. The Vatican City and the majestic Colosseum in Rome kept us spellbound. Finally, we went to Venice and enjoyed the enchanting Gondola rides. The Delegation was  privileged to have a meeting followed by dinner with our Ambassadors, both in Austria and Switzerland. On return to Delhi, we submitted the final report to the MOD. Thereafter, we gave a Presentation which was attended personally by Mr. George Fernandez (then Defence Minister). I will always cherish the memories of this fascinating experience of another Defence Delegation.

     Just after completing two years and three months of my prestigious tenure in the South Block, I received my posting orders to proceed  to Ahmedabad. I was required to take charge as DDG NCC, Gujarat by mid Aug. I looked forward eagerly to shouldering this new appointment which would be quite different compared to all my previous  assignments. It entailed training of the NCC Cadets, appropriately called the process of  “Grooming Tomorrow’s Leaders”. As I finally departed after a traditional farewell from the MGO Branch, I had a feeling of tremendous accomplishment having fulfilled  most of the expectations of the  Formations. The dedication and support by my Team of Directors -----  Col Sanjay Kulkarni, Col KJ Singh, Col Saini and Col Ratnaparkhi deserve special compliments. I consider my innings at the Army HQ as a feather in my cap. It was time to shift from the dynamic Army HQ to the tranquil NCC Directorate, with an attitude of gratitude.

Ten key projects by Indian architect Anupama Kundoo

Here's a look at 10 pivotal projects by Indian architect Anupama Kundoo, whose work is currently on show in a retrospective at the Louisiana Museum in Denmark.

Kundoo's architecture centres around traditional craft traditions and construction techniques. Her buildings features handmade materials assembled by local craftsmen, which she favours over mass-produced production methods.

Many of her buildings can be found in Auroville, southeastern India. Kundoo moved to this experimental city after graduating from the University of Mumbai in 1989, and it has had a strong influence on her work.

It was in Auroville where she met modernist architect Roger Anger, who became a long-time collaborator. It was also here that she built her first house, Hut Petite Ferme, experimenting with materials including granite, clay and coconut fibre.

Although she now lives in Berlin, Kundoo is still heavily involved in the planning of this city. She has designed many of its institutional buildings, including the town hall.

She has also designed a range of other influential projects for India, including her affordable housing concept Full Fill Homes, which allows new homes to be erected in a matter of days.

Here's a look at 10 of her key projects, captured by photographer Javier Callejas:

Wall House, 2000, Auroville, India

The second house that Kundoo built for herself became a prototype for many of her subsequent projects.

Working with local craftsman, she opted to use preindustrial "achakal" mud bricks, which are less energy-intensive to produce than��factory bricks. She also developed vaulted terracotta roofing systems, to utilise the skills of Auroville's potters.

Residence Kranti Kanade, 2003, Pune, India

This family villa consists of various indoor and outdoor spaces, all sheltered beneath a single large roof.

Rooms are interspersed with verandas and terraces that provide plenty of cross ventilation, but that also create natural separation between the domains of the house's various occupants.

Shah Houses, 2003, Brahmangarh, India

This pair of houses is built from natural basalt stone – a readily available material in the area – and locally crafted terracotta tubes.

Glass-fronted social spaces are located beneath the vaulted roofs, while more private spaces are embedded within the solid masonry walls.

Creativity, An Urban Eco-Community, 2003, Auroville, India

Designed as a prototype for a co-housing community, this complex provides diverse facilities for between 50 and 60 residents.

Raised walkways create space for interaction without compromising the privacy of the individual homes, and also allow the buildings to incorporate natural ventilation techniques.

Multipurpose Hall SAWCHU, 2000, Auroville, India

The Sri Aurobindo World Centre for Human Unity is a concrete pavilion, designed as a community space for the residents of Auroville.

The structure is supported by eight leaning pillars and is surrounded on three of its four quadrants by amphitheatre seating. At its centre is a circular skylight, which is mirrored by the patterns in the flooring below.

Town Hall Complex, 2005, Auroville, India

Kundoo collaborated with Roger Anger, who was Auroville's chief architect, to create a group of three buildings to house the town hall.

The complex intersperses offices with public facilities and service areas, allowing spaces to take on an urban character. Shaded walkways connect the buildings, which are primarily built from concrete and brick.

Mitra Youth Hostel, 2005, Auroville, India

Located very close to the town hall, this three-storey building accommodates young people arriving in Auroville for short- and medium-term stays.

The building is organised around open-air corridors that follow its kinked form. Rooms have balconies, plus there are various communal terraces, to encourage interaction between residents.

Voluntariat Homes for Homeless Children, 2008, Pondicherry, India

These dome-shaped housing units were designed to accommodate children from challenged backgrounds.

Here, Kundoo explores an innovative form of construction that is both low-cost and environmentally friendly. The structures are built from mud bricks made on site, which are then fired in-situ to make them more durable and water resistant.

Full Fill Homes, 2015, Auroville, India

Kundoo uses ferrocement – a low-tech form of reinforced concrete – to create the modules of these affordable housing units, which are designed to combat the homelessness problem in India.

The box-shaped modules can be assembled in a matter of days, and incorporate niches that become highly functional for storage.

Sharana Daycare Facility, 2019, Pondicherry, India

Reinforced concrete slabs were paired with modular terracotta screens to create the structure of this daycare centre.

The building was designed for a charitable organisation that aims to provide education to disadvantaged communities and children. It centres around a garden courtyard used for a variety of different activities.

Countering Covid-19: Centre and states marshal their resources for a quick and effective response

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/countering-covid-19-centre-and-states-marshal-their-resources-for-a-quick-and-effective-response/

Countering Covid-19: Centre and states marshal their resources for a quick and effective response

How well an administration reacts to a health emergency may not entirely be clear from the website of its health department. But in Kerala’s case, it is an accurate reflection of the state’s deft handling of the novel coronavirus disease, or Covid-19.

The homepage of Kerala’s health portal is rich with information related to coronavirus, including daily district-wise data on how many people are under observation. There is a detailed list of risk factors for fliers — including where they sat and where an infected person did — and information on the discharge criteria for those who have come from various countries. The state has set up as many as 18 teams — including for surveillance and for ambulance management — in the state coronavirus control room.

Kerala is a welcome anomaly in an otherwise inadequate public-healthcare system in India. The state earned plaudits for the manner in which it tackled the Nipah virus outbreak in 2018. So Kerala’s response to Covid-19 is hardly surprising. The first three Covid-19 cases in India were reported in Kerala in January-February, but they were all cured. There have been no more cases in the state.

As concerns over the spread of Covid-19 grow stronger across the country, even other states and the Centre are throwing their weight behind containing it. There have been 34 confirmed cases, including 16 Italian tourists, in India so far but no deaths. On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took stock of the situation and the steps taken by the government.

The Union government on February 3 set up a group of ministers (GoM) to monitor the situation. Led by Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, the GoM — which also consists of the external affairs and civil aviation ministers, and junior ministers of health, home and shipping — has met five times till now. Besides the ministries, agencies such as the National Centre for Disease Control and the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority are also part of the government’s efforts.

A wall at a government hospital in Kolkata displays COVID-19 helpline number. State governments have deployed resources from multiple departments to disseminate information regarding the virus.

“Even though the WHO (World Health Organization) has not declared Covid-19 a pandemic, it has asked countries to remain prepared. India initiated the required preparedness and action at the field level on January 17, much before the advice from the WHO,” says Vardhan.

Exports of critical items such as personal protective equipment and N95 masks have been restricted to ensure their availability in India.

Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba has held 15 review meetings with various ministries since January 27. On March 6, the health ministry and the WHO organised a training session that was attended by 280 health officials from all states and from the hospitals of the railways, defence and paramilitary forces. Video conferences are also being held with states every other day, both to train officials and to take stock of the situation.

Health Secretary Preeti Sudan has deputed more than 10 joint secretaries to assess the preparedness of states and Union territories. But state officials do not want meetings to be counter-productive. “During a crisis like this, you cannot allow meetings to take up a lot of your time. That is why we combine meetings and interact mostly on WhatsApp groups and conference calls on the move,” says K Kolandaswamy, director of public health in Tamil Nadu.

The Covid-19 outbreak began in Wuhan in China’s Hubei province in December and has since spread to 88 countries and territories. There have been over 98,000 confirmed cases — 82% of that in China alone — and 3,380 deaths, with over 3,000 just in China, according to the WHO. Believed to have been transmitted from bats through other animals to humans, the virus spreads when a person comes in contact with small droplets from an infected person’s nose or mouth and then touches her own eyes, nose or mouth.

That is why polio-awareness workers in Uttar Pradesh, the country’s most populous state, have been wearing masks and maintaining a distance of 1.5 metres while making enquiries at homes throughout Agra, a favourite among local and foreign tourists. The exercise is being carried out to reach all those who possibly had contact with an infected person. More than 50,000 houses have already been surveyed, says Mukesh Vats, Agra’s chief medical officer. “We decided to deploy polio abhiyan workers as they are aware of their localities.” A man who tested positive for Covid-19 had travelled to Agra to meet his relatives. They have all been quarantined.

In Rajasthan, a rapid action team has been set up to trace those who came in contact with Italian tourists in Jhunjhunu, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur and Bikaner, according to state health minister Raghu Sharma. Italy has become Europe’s coronavirus hotspot. Besides the health department, other arms of the government are being drafted into the fight against Covid-19. Sachin Pilot, deputy chief minister of Rajasthan, says, “All departments in the state, including local bodies, are taking precautions to stop its spread. For example, my own department — the rural development — has been engaged in making villagers aware of the dos and don’ts of the disease.”

Medical staff wear protective masks at an isolation ward at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Medical Sciences in Ahmedabad.

However, relying just on government hospitals would not be enough if the number of infected people was to multiply. And that is why states such as Delhi, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are turning to private or trust-owned hospitals to meet the shortfall in capacity. Telangana has announced that it has the option of using as isolation wards the 40,000 two-bedroom houses it plans to hand over to poor families, in addition to the 3,000 beds it has set aside in five public hospitals.

India has quickly increased the number of labs that can test samples for Covid-19, from 15 a few days ago to 51 now, with Pune’s National Institute of Virology being the nodal lab. As of March 6, over 4,000 samples had been tested in India, according to the health ministry. India has also ramped up monitoring at all airports, and almost 8 lakh fliers have been screened. On March 4, the government announced that passengers from all nations would be checked for the virus. But questions have been raised about the credentials of the health team at the Guwahati airport as the health officer, Parthajyoti Gogoi, is not a doctor.

Guwahati provides a crucial link to the Northeast and it also has some international flights. It emerged on March 6 that Bhutan’s first Covid-19 case — a 76-year-old US tourist — had a week-long cruise on the Brahmaputra before he travelled to Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital.

Not just fliers but people who enter the country through land borders are also being checked for Covid-19. Uttar Pradesh alone has six border points with Nepal. As of March 5, more than 11.5 lakh people had been screened at border checkposts. About 4,000 meetings of village councils have been held to sensitise those living along the borders. Neighbouring states are also in constant touch with each other, given the frequent movement of people between them, says Kolandaswamy. Tamil Nadu shares a border with Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala. Sarita RL, Kerala’s director of health services, did not respond to requests for comment.

The railways has also been roped in to augment the government’s efforts to disseminate tips on precaution. With 6,600 active stations across India, the railways is the largest public announcement network in India, explains VK Yadav, chairman of the Railway Board. Isolation wards are being created at each of the 84 railway hospitals.

While state governments might have suppressed information during a public-health crisis in the past, they cannot afford to do so now. The absence of verified communication gives space for rumours circulated on social media to grow.

Fortunately, politics has not come in the way of states working with the Centre or with each other on tackling the coronavirus infection. But that is small comfort in a country with just eight doctors per 10,000 people, compared with 18 in China. India has only nine beds per 10,000 people, while China has 38. ¡§Be prepared for the worst. While only a fraction would get sick if it spreads in a community, the absolute number of persons who need care would be large,¡¨ says Rajeev Sadanandan, a former Kerala bureaucrat who played a key role in handling the Nipah crisis.

India might not have the capacity to handle an outbreak of the scale China has seen. So its best bet is to prevent such an outcome.

My Reflections as Head Mistress of Army Public School (Junior Wing), Pune

This Blog is a sequel to the previous Blog and covers the period when myself and the children continued to stay in Pune for the purpose of higher education. Our innings in Pune commenced with a jubilant start in Jun 1996, when Ashvini got admission in Junior Wing of Fergusson College and Nandini & Aditya began to adapt to the new environment in Army Public School ( APS ), Pune. Even Vivek began his professionally enriching experience, as an important Staff Officer in HQ Southern Command. I was appointed as the Principal of AWWA Pre-Primary School. I was happy to take on this responsibility since I could devote time for the School activities as ANA were already grown up. Our tenure for the next two years was really memorable for each of us, as we learnt so much in our respective domain.

In Jun 1998, Vivek received his posting order to take up an instructional assignment at DSSC, Wellington. We felt happy as well as sad on receipt of this news. It was certainly an honour for Vivek, to be selected as an Instructor at the prestigious Staff College. However, we had to reconcile to the fact that the rest of us could not move to Wellington, since both Ashvini & Nandini were in 12th and 10th standard. It was therefore essential for us to remain in Pune to enable continuity for their Board Exams next year and subsequent College admissions. Thus, began my saga of another experience in Separated Family Accommodation ( SFA ) at Pune.

As a policy, SFA is allotted in case of postings either to a Field/ High Altitude area or in case of postings to a Peace Station, if the children are appearing for their Board Exams. In our case, we were entitled SFA under the second clause but had to shift out from our spacious Bungalow, after one month of Vivek's departure for Wellington. It was another exciting challenge which involved the packing, moving and unpacking of the entire baggage and finally setting up our new Home again. The transition was smooth due to the enthusiastic assistance by our children, who applied the concept of "Place for everything & everything in it's Place".Location of our new House in Ghorpadi was very convenient specially for me, since it was just opposite the AWWA Pre-Primary School.

Next year, HQ Southern Command decided to expand the Army Public School, Pune which conducted classes from Sixth to Twelfth standard only. Hence, there was an urgent need to establish a Primary Wing of APS, for students from First to Fifth standard. I was eager to take up this responsibility and hence applied for the post of Head Mistress of APS, Primary Wing. I was fortunate to be selected for launching this maiden venture. Our very first task was to prepare a Presentation about the utilisation of the existing building & resources of PT School (near Pune Race Course) and the proposed plan for converting it to the Junior Wing of APS. This involved planning and discussion with various agencies, under the able guidance of Mrs Meera Sain, who was the Principal of APS. We sought lot of valuable suggestions from the Management Committee and Major General incharge of Administration of HQ Southern Command. Finally, it was our privilege to give a detailed Presentation to the Army Commander, about the outline plan for this new Project which would benefit large number of students in Pune Cantonment. Consequent to his final approval, the renovation works by MES began on priority. Simultaneously, we were involved for selection of teachers and purchase of the school furniture and sports equipment. The newly appointed teachers were busy preparing the lesson plans for their subjects. It was a race against time in order to complete the Project within next two months. Eventually, the Junior Wing of APS was fully functional in Apr 1998.

The First Academic Year commenced with just one Section each from First to Fifth standard and the total strength was only in double digits. As the strength increased gradually due to new admissions, we created additional classrooms in the adjacent building. The innovative teaching methods adopted by our team of dedicated teachers created an ideal learning environment. We conducted a variety of indoor & outdoor activities, celebrated all the festivals and organised a variety of competitions, which were appreciated by all the children and the parents. My schedule was indeed hectic from 8 AM to 5 PM daily. However, when I returned Home, I had the satisfaction that I managed to find solutions to all the challenges, to the best of my ability and utmost of my capacity, under constant guidance and encouragement by Mrs Meera Sain.

In Dasera vacation, myself along with Ashvini & Aditya went for our first visit to Wellington. Nandini could not accompany in view of her preparations for the Board Exam and the responsibility to take care of my mother-in-law who was staying with us. Our short vacation in Wellington was a refreshing break as we stayed in the DSSC Officers Mess, savoring a variety of meals, without bothering about planning the menu and cooking in our ad-hoc kitchen. We have fond memories of our short trips to Coonoor and Ooty --- the Queen of hill stations in the Nilgiris. As we left Wellington after a rejuvenating vacation in the pristine environment, we looked forward to returning during the summer vacation. We carried with us vivid memories of the aerial view of the Staff College!!

At the end of the year, Vivek was detailed as a part of the Team of Instructors from Wellington, for imparting Tactical training to Technical Staff College Course which was being conducted at Institute of Armament Technology, Pune. This gave us an opportunity to stay together as a family for the next two months. It was a proud achievement when we conducted our first Annual Day, with enthusiastic participation by our talented children. It was so heartening to witness the energy levels and the confidence displayed, in each performance on the big stage in the Auditorium. I treasured these moments with the children, which were possible only due to the dedication of our teachers.

Finally, we bid farewell to the students of the Fifth Standard who moved on to the Senior Wing of APS. In the summer vacation, we had to plan and supervise the expansion of the infrastructure and appoint new teachers, in view of the expected increase in the strength of students. Thus, there was never a dull moment since I believed that there was always a scope for improvement.

We went to Wellington once again during the summer vacation. This time we refreshed previous memories by spending time in the Staff College Library, shopping in Coonoor market and enjoying various sports in Wellington Gymkhana Club. In addition, we visited several other tourist spots nearby before finally visiting Mysore & Bangalore. Consequent to another memorable holiday, we returned from Bangalore, fully recharged to continue our busy schedule in Pune.

My responsibilities expanded consequent to the expansion of the Junior Wing. I was so happy to contribute as the vital link between the Teachers , the Parents and the Management Committee. On the home front, I decided to devote greater attention towards Nandini's final preparations. On completion of her Board Exams, she appeared in various Entrance Exams in order to keep her options open. It was a huge task to obtain & submit various documents such as Admission Forms, Domicile Certificate, Defence Quota Certificate, Dependency Certificate etc. It was possible only due to the assistance provided by our colleagues and friends from the Army family. In case of any problem or any decision making situation, I would often contact Vivek telephonically, seeking his advice before choosing our next course of action. His typical response was ---" You are the best judge. You take the decision. Just don't worry". We felt so assured with his confidence and composure in any crisis. Finally, we were extremely delighted when Nandini secured admission in Cummins College of Engineering, Pune.

Simultaneously, we had to face the challenge of vacating our accommodation in Ghorpadi since the SFA was allotted only till the completion of Board Exams. The search for another house continued till we managed to hire a house in AWHO Colony in Salunke Vihar. It was yet another enjoyable experience of packing,moving & unpacking, as per the Standard Operating Procedure, after which we settled down in our fourth house in Pune, within four years --- without taking the help of "Packers & Movers"!! Obviously, it was possible due to the confidence that I developed over 20 years of Fauji life and valuable experience gained in each of our postings. In Jun 2000, Vivek came to Pune for availing part of Annual Leave. During the leave period, we were really excited to receive the good news about his approval for promotion as a Brigadier.

In view of our anticipated posting, I submitted my resignation to the Management Committee of APS so that my successor could be appointed to take over my responsibilities. I had to take this decision with a heavy heart especially since I had nurtured the Junior Wing for two years, resulting in a strength of 600 students at the time of my departure. Finally, it was a touching moment when I was given an emotional farewell while I bid adieu to my team of teachers & the children of the Junior Wing. I still cherish the fond memories of my challenging tenure, at the helm of affairs in the Junior Wing of Army Public School. I felt blessed that I got this opportunity to achieve my dream as an educationist.

Thereafter, myself and Nandini went for a short trip to Wellington, since she could not come with us on earlier occasions. Ashvini & Aditya held the fort in Pune. It was a coincidence that soon after our arrival in Staff College, Vivek received his Posting Order to take charge in his new appointment, as Commander 27 Mountain Artillery Brigade located at Pathankot. This news certainly enhanced the joy of our well deserved break in the salubrious environment of the Nilgiris. We were privileged to be present for his promotion party, in the traditional style of Staff College. During our return journey from Coimbatore to Pune, we enjoyed discussing about our future plans and preparations for yet another journey across the country. We were aware of the uncertainty that we may not be able to go to Pathankot initially, since it was a temporary location in a Field Area. Yet we looked forward eagerly to our move whenever the Artillery Brigade would move back to it's permanent location in Bagrakot!!

Mumbai's doubling rate is highest in country

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday said that Mumbai has achieved a doubling-rate of 50 days for COVID-19 cases, which is the highest in the country currently.

The municipal body credited the achievement to the recently-adopted 'open testing policy', which allows people to get tested for coronavirus without prescriptions. Reports said that Mumbai is the only city in the country to implement such a testing policy.

"After the open testing policy, our testing has gone up from 4,000 to 6,800, daily. But the total positive cases have come down from 1,400 to 1,200 now," BMC commissioner IS Chahal was quoted as saying.

Of these 1,200 cases, the symptomatic cases are less than 200, so the BMC needs only 200 beds daily, Chahal said.

SC refuses to entertain plea for restrictions on Amarnath Yatra in view of COVID-19

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking restrictions on devotees in the Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage this year due to COVID-19 pandemic, saying the issue has to be left with the local administration to look into.

"We have to respect principle of separation of powers," said a bench comprising justices DY Chandrachud, Indu Malhotra and KM Joseph and declined to enter the arena of the executive which has to deal with it as per statutory norms.

"We are of view that recourse being taken here under Article 32 (of the Constitution) is inappropriate. The issue as to whether Yatra be held should be left with the local administration. Undoubtedly any decision arrived at must be based on law and all relevant statutory provisions", the bench, which conducted the hearing through video conferencing, noted in the order.

The apex court was hearing a plea filed by ''Shri Amarnath Barfani Langars Organisation'' (SABLO) which had sought a direction to the Centre, Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board to restrict the access of pilgrims in the Yatra this year in wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

WHO team arrives in China to investigate origin of COVID-19

Two World Health Organisation experts arrived in China on Monday as part of a mission in China to trace the origin of the coronavirus pandemic. The virus was first detected in central China’s city of Wuhan late last year. Beijing had been reluctant to allow a probe but relented after scores of countries called on the WHO to conduct a thorough investigation.

China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Hua Chunying, said they would work with Chinese scientists and medical experts on “scientific cooperation on the new coronavirus tracing issue.”

China has argued that the virus might have originated outside of China and has denied allegations that it covered up the scale of the outbreak as infections first began to spread.

"We have a basic consensus with the WHO that virus tracing is a scientific issue, and that requires international scientific research and cooperation of scientists across the world,” ministry spokesperson Hua said at a daily briefing. “WHO also believes that the virus tracing is an issue in progress, which may involve multiple countries and regions, and WHO will also conduct similar inspections in other countries and regions as needed."
