25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRDâs traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil societyâs contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a âreputational actorâ performing a âwatchdogâ function and as a generator of âsocial capitalâ necessary to sustain the chan

Page from the programme for musical play "Rio Rita", performed by Keighley Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society at the Hippodrome theatre in Keighley between 20th and 25th October 1947. The music was by Harry Tierney, with words by Joseph McCarthy, from the book by Guy Bolton and Fred Thompson. The original 1927 stage musical was turned into a RKO film in 1929, directed by Luther Reed.
The story is set on the US/Mexico border, where cabaret singer Rita Ferguson falls for Texas Ranger Captain Jim Stewart, while pursued by Mexican General Esteban. Meanwhile, Captain Stewart is seeking the notorious bandit Kinkajou, whose real identity is unknown (but could be Rita's brother Roberto!). The climax is reached onboard the pirate barge owned by Esteban, which serves as a floating cabaret...
The Keighley production starred Hylda Saville Smith as Rio Rita, Arthur Day as Captain Jim Stewart, Eric B. Boster as General Esteban, and Fred W. Pye as Roberto. Supporting roles were played by Albert E. Shepherd, Arthur Shackleton, Ernest Marsden, Dorothy M. Williams, Betty Phillips, Keith Marsden, John H. Crabtree, Pamela Fitzjohn, Victor J. Wood, Frank Hopkinson, Margaret Best and Marjorie Riley. It was produced by T. C. Wray.
The 48-page programme measures approximately 183 mm by 248 mm. It contains details of the production, with cast photographs taken by John Tobin of Keighley, and many adverts for local businesses. It was printed by The Keighley Printers Ltd. of High Street.
This page features portraits of various officials: Albert H. Preston (Stage Manager), Ernest C. Smith (Prompter), Albert E. Shepherd (Choral Master), Herbert Scargill (Publicity Manager) and Lily Woollard (Accompanist).
The item was donated to Keighley and District Local History Society by Tim Neal in 2022. The History Society also holds a second copy of the programme in its collection, given by an anonymous donor later in 2022.

This 32-pager (£1) was issued for a pre-Christmas 1991 visit to Parkhead by Premier Division rivals St Mirren. A crowd of 16,831 - very low by today's Celtic standards - watched the Buddies steamrollered 4-0.

The 1950s was a turbulent decade in the history of the Hippodrome and Queen's Theatre in Keighley. Long-time Managing Director Francis Laidler (who also owned the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford) died in 1955 and was succeeded by his widow Gwladys. Television was providing a significant challenge to theatre-going by the middle of the decade, and the Hippodrome had to try more extreme forms of entertainment to draw in the crowds. But to no avail, and the theatre finally closed its doors in 1956, before being demolished in 1961 to make way for the new town centre's multi-storey car park.

CFA organised a “National Seminar on Changing Landscape and Growing Financial Crisis in the Power Sector” on September 1st & 2nd, 2018. The venue for the programme is USO International Centre (USOIC), USO House, USO Road, 6, Special Institutional Area, New Delhi-110067 and the session will start from 9:30 AM.
This two day seminar will bring together experts, activists and journalists, who are monitoring and raising issues related to power sector to understand current landscape and changes in policies, failure of the regulatory mechanisms, growing burden on Public Sector Banks due to NPAs in electricity sector, etc. and fruitless attempts to solve the deepening financial crisis by the government in this sector.
In the past few years, a major shift has taken place in the power sector on several fronts including environment clearance, national forest policy, coal mining regulation, power purchase agreement (PPA), fuel supply agreement (FSA) and policies of financial institutions. In India, the shift started with Electricity Act, 2003 which unbundled the State Electricity Boards in three separate companies for generation, transmission and distribution along with delicensing the thermal power sector giving a free hand to private companies to expand power projects. This model was imposed by the World Bank which aimed to bring the private companies into the safer and profitable zones.
These changes have pushed for privatization in the power sector favouring the big companies often going against the interest of people. The private developers setting up thermal power plants took undue advantage of the situation and forced the state power utilities to sign PPA for a period of 25 years with a deemed generation clause, where this clause forced the power distribution companies (Discoms) to pay for the power that they may not consume during the lean periods. These thermal power plants are spread all over the river basins across India and have been grabbing the land and forests for the projects and mining. There is a fight to control the natural resources of the country whether it is land, forests, minerals or rivers. The coal-based power projects apart from causing massive displacement also hugely impact the livelihoods of communities, who in most cases are farmers, Adivasis and Dalits. These projects also adversely impact the environment causing serious health concerns for people and destruction of ecology. The energy needs of urban India is being fulfilled at the cost of land and livelihoods of rural communities.
The expansion of power projects is not only affecting the environment and natural resources but also robbing the public of their own money through companies taking huge loans from the banks for these projects and not repaying them. However, this robbing of public money is not limited to the power sector alone. Currently, the Indian banks are facing a financial crisis due to a staggering amount of stressed assets (Gross NPAs + Restructured Advances). Indian banks’ gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs), or bad loans, stood at Rs 10.25 lakh crore as of 31 March 2018. Last quarter, the pile has grown by Rs 1.39 lakh crore or 16 per cent from Rs 8.86 lakh crore as on 31 December 2017. In the RBI’s Financial Stability Report, the apex bank said that the Gross NPA (GNPA) ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) is likely to rise in the current fiscal.
The problem of NPAs in power sector was highlighted in 2017 through two key power projects – Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (4000MW) owned by TATA Power and Adani’s Mundra Thermal Power Project (4660MW), which were incurring massive losses and asked the state government to bail them out. The trend of the government bailing out private companies with public money is growing day by day. In March 2018, a report was published by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy to focus on the ‘Stressed/Non-Performing Assets’ in the electricity sector. The committee identified 34 thermal power projects worth Rs. 1.74 lakh crore were on verge of becoming NPAs. It is worthwhile to note that out of these 34 thermal power plants, 32 power plants belonged to the private sector, while only two were from the public sector. Apart from that, the committee highlighted that Stressed Assets were around 17.67% (Rs. 98,799 crores) of the total advances in the thermal power sector.
These projects have been given loans in tune of lakhs of crores rupees by Indian banking and non-banking institutions. The current government made a number of unsuccessful attempts to resolve this mounting financial crisis, including a number of mechanisms such as Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), Bad Bank Formula, Project Sashakt, etc. Now the government has set up a committee headed by cabinet secretary to look into the matter. It raises the questions on the intentions of the government whether they really want to resolve this or making some visible attempt due to an upcoming election.
The consequences of this situation are that the stressed assets of banks are compounding due to the haphazard expansion of projects by power companies, which are eventually being bailed out by the government through public money. On the one hand private companies are robbing the public money and on the other hand, they are ignoring the social and environmental impacts of these projects.
