• SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES

1. Defence – CAG: Rafale vendors yet to confirm tech transfer – French aerospace major Dassault Aviation and European missile maker MBDA have till date “not confirmed” the transfer of technology for the indigenous development of engine for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), under the offset contract relating to the ₹60,000 crore deal for 36 Rafale fighter jets, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) said in a report tabled in Parliament. The report on offset clauses in defence deals observed that in October 2019, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) informed that the vendor had not yet been able to confirm their capability for doing the requisite upgradation. Thus, it is not clear if this technology transfer will take place, and there is need for MoD/DRDO to identify and acquire the right technologies in order to comply with the directions of Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) given in September 2016.
2. Polity and Governance – Monsoon session ends in a flurry of protests – Opposition parties held three rounds of protests in Parliament on the last day of the monsoon session, and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad met President Ram Nath Kovind, urging him not to give his assent to the three farm Bills passed by both the Houses. In a silent protest, over 75 Rajya Sabha MPs belonging to the Congress, Trinamool Congress, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Rashtriya Janata Dal, Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party and Nationalist Congress Party marched from the Gandhi statue to the Ambedkar statue within the Parliament complex. On last day of session, Parliament passed three Bills — the Industrial Relations Code, 2020; the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and the Social Security Code, 2020 — while the Opposition continued its boycott that started on Tuesday over the passage of the three agriculture Bills.
3. Polity and Governance – Labour Bills passed amid boycott – Parliament passed three Bills that complete the government’s codification of 29 labour laws into four codes, with the Rajya Sabha passing the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 and the Social Security Code, 2020. The Upper House passed the three Bills after less than two hours of discussion, while the Opposition continued its boycott that started on Tuesday over the passage of two agriculture Bills. The three Bills that merge 25 laws were passed by the Lok Sabha earlier. The first of the four codes, the Code on Wages, was passed by Parliament in 2019.
4. COVID-19 Updates – Assess use of local lockdowns, push to reopen economy: PM – PM Modi indicated his scepticism over “local lockdowns” imposed for a day or two in combating Covid-19 and asked high focus states to assess if such steps are hindering restoration of economic activities while proving to be of little use. Urging states to weigh the impact of local lockdowns, Modi, in his interaction with the CMs and health ministers of seven high burden states, including Maharashtra, stressed the need to focus on “micro containment zones” to curb Covid spread and allow usual activities to go on. With arbitrary lockdowns in July and August seen to have hurt the economy, the Centre had told states to avoid such steps unless cleared by MHA. Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Delhi and Punjab, account for more than 63% of active cases. These states also account for 65.5% of cumulative cases and 77% of total deaths.
5. Achievements  – Kashi girl Shivangi Singh to become first IAF woman fighter pilot to fly Rafale – Kashi girl Shivangi Singh, the Rafale squadron’s first woman fighter pilot, is set to make history by flying the multi-role air dominance aircraft amid escalating border tensions with China. Commissioned in 2017 in the second batch of women fighter pilots, Flight Lieutenant Shivangi Singh is currently undergoing conversion training and will shortly become a part of 17 Squadron, the Golden Arrows, in Ambala. She has been flying MiG-21 Bisons since her commissioning.
6. World – Turkey rakes up J&K at UNGA, India hits back – India asked Turkey not to meddle in its internal affairs after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the Kashmir issue at the UNGA. Erdogan said Kashmir was a burning issue and scrapping of J&K’s special status had complicated the problem. Calling the remarks unacceptable, India said, “Turkey should learn to respect the sovereignty of other nations and reflect on its own policies more deeply”.
7. Environment and Ecology – China vows to go carbon neutral by 2060 – The U.S. is guilty of “obstructing” the global fight against emissions, China said, as Beijing seized the climate agenda by vowing to go carbon neutral by 2060, a target welcomed by environmentalists despite its patchy detail. The goals, which include a pledge to reach peak emissions in 2030, are the most concrete ones yet announced by China, which is the world's biggest polluter and accounts for a quarter of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions. They also open a new divergence in relations with the U.S., which are already pinched by squabbles over trade, tech, defence and human rights. Under President Donald Trump, the United States, the world's second-largest polluter, pulled out of the agreement, blaming China for the stalled momentum on tackling global emissions.
8. World – Navalny out of German hospital – Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been released from a Berlin hospital after over a month’s treatment for poisoning, with doctors now believing that a complete recovery from the Soviet-era nerve agent is possible for him. Mr. Navalny spent 32 days at Berlin’s Charite hospital, 24 of them in intensive care, before doctors deemed his condition had improved sufficiently for him to be discharged from acute inpatient care. After his release, Mr. Navalny, in an Instagram post, took a swipe at Russian President Vladimir Putin, scoffing at reported comments by the Russian leader, suggesting that Mr. Navalny might have intentionally poisoned himself.
9. World – Embattled Belarusian dictator sworn in for new term in office in complete secrecy – Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko took the oath of office at a secret ceremony in a move his opponents attributed to his desire to avoid crowds of demonstrators who have held historic protests against his disputed re-election. Lukashenko has faced massive demonstrations against his rule since claiming victory with more than 80 percent in a presidential election on August 9, with tens of thousands marching at the latest protest in the capital Minsk.
10. World  – Malaysia’s Anwar claims ‘strong majority’ to form new government – Malaysia’s opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said he had secured a “strong majority” from lawmakers to form a new government, seven months after a power grab within the ruling coalition brought down the administration elected in May 2018.  Anwar said he had been “approached by a number of MPs from various parties” who were unhappy with the existing leadership of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

• 6. MISCELLANEOUS (Prelims, Various GS Papers)

6.1 Indus Water Treaty at 60

• Key points – 
  

1. September 19 marks the 60th anniversary of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) between India and Pakistan, a treaty that is often cited as an example of the possibilities of peaceful coexistence that exist despite the troubled relationship.
2. Well-wishers of the treaty often dub it “uninterrupted and uninterruptible”.
3. The World Bank, which, as the third party, played a pivotal role in crafting the IWT, continues to take particular pride that the treaty functions.
4. The role of India, as a responsible upper riparian abiding by the provisions of the treaty, has been remarkable but the country, of late, is under pressure to rethink the extent to which it can remain committed to the provisions, as its overall political relations with Pakistan becomes intractable.

• Equitable water-sharing –

1. Back in time, partitioning the Indus rivers system was inevitable after the Partition of India in 1947.
2. The sharing formula devised after prolonged negotiations sliced the Indus system into two halves.
3. The three ‘western rivers’ (Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) went to Pakistan and the three ‘eastern rivers’ (Sutlej, Ravi and Beas) were portioned to India.
4. Equitable it may have seemed, but the fact remained that India conceded 80.52 per cent of the aggregate water flows in the Indus system to Pakistan.
5. It also gave Rs 83 crore in pounds sterling to Pakistan to help build replacement canals from the western rivers. Such generosity is unusual of an upper riparian.
6. The treaty allows India to use the western river waters for limited irrigation use and unlimited non-consumptive use for such applications as power generation, navigation, floating of property, fish culture, etc.

• India plays resilient –

1. That the treaty has remained “uninterrupted” is because India respects its signatory and values trans-boundary Rivers as an important connector in the region in terms of both diplomacy and economic prosperity.
2. There have been several instances of terror attacks which could have prompted India, within the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, to withdraw from the IWT.
3. However, on each occasion, India chose not to do so.

• 7. POLITY (Prelims, GS Paper 2)

7.1 Codes on occupational safety, social security and industrial relations introduced in Lok Sabha

• Key points –

1. The government has introduced three Bills in the Lok Sabha to amalgamate laws on social security, occupational safety and industrial relations, which would, among other changes, allow companies with less than 300 workers to terminate employment without prior approval and provide gig and platform workers social security schemes.
2. Labour and Employment Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar introduced the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Code, 2020 and Code on Social Security, 2020 after some Opposition MPs opposed them citing the lack of public consultation.
3. Mr. Gangwar also withdrew the 2019 versions of the Bills, which were introduced and then referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour.
4. Mr. Gangwar said the government had accepted 74% of the 233 recommendations of the committee.
5. The three Bills are part of the government’s labour law reforms agenda, of which the first, the Code on Wages, was passed in 2019. He said 29 labour laws are to be amalgamated into four codes.

• Important details –

1. The Industrial Relations Code Bill mandates companies with 300 or more workers to prepare and submit to the government standing orders regarding the conditions of service, including shift timings and termination of employment. As of now, this applies to establishment with over 100 employees, under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, which is among the three Acts the Bill proposes to subsume.
2. The Social Security Code Bill proposes to bring unorganised sector, gig workers and platform workers under the ambit of social security schemes, including life and disability insurance, health and maternity benefits, provident fund and skill upgradation.
3. Among the 13 Acts the Occupational Safety Code proposes to subsume is the Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979, which has been highlighted during the recent migrant workers crisis due to COVID-19.
4. While the Act covered those migrant workers who were hired through contractors, the Code covers those who are directly employed as well. The Code has also been extended to those working animation, cartoon depiction, digital production and web serials by including these categories in the definition of audio-visual production.

8.1 COVID-19 reaches remote tribes of Odisha: Why is it a matter of concern?

• Highlights –

1. After six members of two primitive tribes in Odisha contracted Covid-19, the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes has sought a report from the state government.
2. In what the commission has termed a “matter of grave concern”, one member of the Bonda tribe and five from the Didayi tribe tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the last week of August.
3. Odisha has so far recorded 1,84,122 Covid-19 cases, with 37,684 active cases.

• What is a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group –

1. A PVTG (earlier, Primitive tribal group) is a Government of India classification for tribes based on their relative physical isolation, stagnant or declining population, low levels of literacy and pre-agricultural stage of economy, such as hunting, food gathering, shifting cultivation and terrace cultivation.
2. The classification was adopted by the GOI after the Dhebar Commission (1960-1961) stated that within the Scheduled Tribes there existed an inequality in the rate of development.
3. During the fourth Five Year Plan, a sub-category was created within Scheduled Tribes to identify groups at a lower level of development. This sub-category was called “Primitive tribal group”, which is now PVTG.

• What are the PVTGs in Odisha –

1. Of the 62 tribal groups in Odisha, 13 are recognised as PVTGs – the highest in the country.
2. At present, Odisha has a population of 2.5 lakh belonging to the PVTGs, residing in nearly 1,429 villages in 11 districts. The PVTGs of the state have been identified as Bonda, Birhor, Chuktia, Bhunjia, Didayi, Dungaria, Kandha, Hill Kharia, Juang, Kutia Kondh, Lanjia Saora, Lodha, Mankirida, Paudi, Bhuyan and Saora.
3. The Bondas and Didiayis are found in the Malkangiri district of the state.
4. The Bondas, scattered across 32 remote hilltop villages in the Eastern Ghats of Malkangiri district, are believed to have come to India as part of the first wave of migration out of Africa about 60,000 years ago. The Didayis – a little known Austro-Asiatic tribe – live in the immediate neighbourhood of the Bondas.

• Why is PVTG members contracting Covid a ‘matter of grave concern –

1. The health status of PVTGs is low due to multiple factors like poverty, illiteracy, lack of safe drinking water, poor sanitary conditions, difficult terrain, malnutrition, poor access to maternal and child health care services, superstition, nonavailability of adequate health care services and deforestation.
2. The government newsletter also states that diseases like upper respiratory problem and malaria, gastrointestinal disorders like acute diarrhoea and intestinal protozoa, micro nutrient deficiency, and skin infection are common among them.
