Current Affairs 04 February 2024

GHAR Portal

Ministry of Women and Child Development has pioneered the development of two pivotal portals: the Track Child Portal and the GHAR – GO Home and Re-Unite Portal.
These platforms play a crucial role in tracking missing and found children, enhancing restoration and repatriation processes, and safeguarding the welfare of vulnerable minors under the purview of the Juvenile Justice system.
The Track Child Portal, a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Women and Child Development, serves as a centralized hub for tracking missing and found children nationwide.

Developed in collaboration with stakeholders such as the Ministry of Home Affairs, CCTNS (Crime and Criminal Tracking & Network Systems), and various State Governments/UT Administrations, this platform empowers authorities and citizens alike to monitor the whereabouts of missing children effectively.
Seamlessly integrated with the CCTNS, the Track Child Portal enables real-time matching of FIRs with the database to expedite the tracing of missing children.
Through the “Khoya-Paya” feature, citizens are encouraged to report sightings or information about missing children, fostering community involvement in child protection efforts.
Complementing the Track Child Portal, the GHAR – GO Home and Re-Unite Portal is a digital platform designed to facilitate the restoration and repatriation of children in accordance with the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015.

Bharat Ratna

On the announcement of conferring Bharat Ratna to Mr LK. Advani said ever since he joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as its volunteer at the age of fourteen, he sought reward in dedicated and selfless service of India.
Mr Advani remembered two persons with whom he had the honour of working closely – Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
He thanked President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for bestowing the honour on him. He expressed gratitude to the party workers, swayamsevaks and others with whom he worked throughout his journey in public life.

On September 25, 1990, L K Advani commenced his Rath Yatra from Somnath, Gujarat. He planned to traverse across the country on a rath (a chariot, or in Advani’s case, a modified Toyota made to look like a chariot), building momentum for the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, and ultimately arriving at Ayodhya to stake claim to the Babri Masjid site.
Thronged by thousands of ‘activists’, Advani’s procession was marked by songs and slogans, all with a singular aim to galvanise pan-Hindu support for the temple. As historian Ramachandra Guha noted, “the imagery of the yatra was religious, allusive, militant, masculine, and anti-Muslim.”
Advani gave way to Vajpayee in the aftermath of the Babri demolition, to allow the party to be helmed by a more “moderate” face. He would never be able to meet his prime ministerial aspirations. Nonetheless, his role in the rise of the BJP to its current, seemingly infallible position, remains undeniable.

Unified Payments Interface At Eiffel Tower

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it is great to see UPI being formally launched at the iconic Eiffel Tower at India’s Republic Day Celebration in Paris, France.
Mr Modi said it marks a significant step towards taking UPI global. He said this is a wonderful example of encouraging digital payments and fostering stronger ties.

Making the announcement, the Indian Embassy in France termed it as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of taking UPI, global.
The UPI is India’s mobile-based payment system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPIL) in 2016. It allows people to make round-the-clock payments through a virtual payment address created by the customer.

UPI is a system that powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application of any participating bank, merging several banking features, seamless fund routing and merchant payments into one hood.
During his visit to France in July last year, Prime Minister Modi announced the agreement between India and France to use the UPI payment mechanism. He had said that it will begin from the iconic Eiffel Tower. Prime Minister Modi had said that Indian tourists in France will now be able to make payments in rupees.

Gaon Chalo Abhiyan

BJP has launched the Gaon Chalo Abhiyaan to bridge the gap between urban and rural areas.
Under the campaign, party workers will go to seven lakh villages and all urban booths will take the work done by Narendra Modi government to the last person.
Over 30 lakh party workers will participate in the Abhiyaan. The launch marked an auspicious beginning for the initiative, starting from the Palampur Assembly constituency in the Himachal Pradesh.

During the campaign kick-off, BJP National President Nadda engaged with the local community, conducting a booth meeting and interacting with members of a self-help group, showcasing his commitment to grassroots-level engagement.
He also held a booth meeting with the villagers and interacted with the women of the self-help group. The programme is being run at the national level under the leadership of Kisan Morcha.
Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur and other senior party leaders were present on the occasion. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched the Gaon Chalo campaign in Uttar Pradesh also.
During this campaign, party workers will stay for 24 hours at the village level in rural areas and the booth level in urban areas. They will also undertake a door-to-door campaign to send the message of Viksit Bharat to the last person in the society.
