While we were fixed on CAA riots.
1. US dilutes Iran oil sanctions. India to go ahead on Chabahar port work. Foreign Minister
Jaishankar in Iran.
2. India - Iran will trade in INR to save lot of our FOREX reserves.
3. Biggest train bridge approved that will reduce travel time between Assam and Arunachal from
600 km to 40 km.
4. Inland water transport extended to reduce logistic costs.
5. Petrol price reduced in India as Saudi/UAE decide to help India.
6. India adds stealth force to our Mountain Corps, strategically important for mountain warfare
with the Chinese.
7. India jumps in electricity accessibility ranking from 99th to 26th, a huge movement of 73
positions.

to create more job opportunity.
9. Hyundai to set up new plant in Madras for local manufacture of their very efficient electric car.

11. GST collection rose from Rs.85,000 crores and last month it crossed Rs.1,00,000 crores, 95%
of input credit is cleared within next month and compensation to states for shortfall has reduced

from the state governments.
12. Opening of the airport in Sikkim is considered one of the best in recent times by international
aviation teams.

December it earned revenues of Rs.2.1 crores in ticket collection alone!

18. India tested modified Akash supersonic missiles fitted with indigenous ramjet engines placing us
in the top three nations!
19. Modi has supercharged Make in India programme by placing orders for 83 more Tejas Mk 1A
aircraft and promised an additional order of 200 aircraft if HAL/ADA develop AMCA with 6th
generation features powered by indigenous 120 KN jet engines by 2024!
20. India's entry into UNSC is closer than ever with all four permanent members and 10 out of 12
non permanent members supporting us. This support is the highest so far!
21. Finally, Pakistan's judiciary and Army are at loggerheads and a massive political change is soon
expected there!
Our media does not tell you these but will speak only about crime, dirty politics and not about the above achievements of the government.
Tailpiece.
Got a call from Rema, by a half past 6, that they had reached the shore of the river Pampa (actually, reduced to a pathetic rivulet now. Earlier, the pilgrims used to bathe in its abundant waters before trekking up for the 'darshan') after the 'darshan' of Swami Ayyappan! That was good news.
Benoy had fetched up by about a half past 10 with the Toyota Qualis and we set off for Neendakara, the coastal hamlet, soon after.
It was a gathering of two groups of trainees - the beauticians and the tailoring lot. The computer lot had got the timings wrong and so, they were late but could meet Ann, their trainer! It was an interesting interaction and I have asked them to offer suggestions regarding addition/deletion of topics in the syllabus. Hope they give me this feedback, soon.
Returned home by a half past 3. After a short snooze, heard from Mini and Sanil about their Sabarimala trip - they'd returned by about 1400 hrs. Both complained about body ache but what's worrying me is about Mini's right ankle that has a history. Hope it's not got aggravated!
