The Mil Mi-24 (Russian: Миль Ми-24; NATO reporting name: Hind) is a large helicopter gunship, attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It is produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and has been operated since 1972 by the Soviet Air Force and its successors, along with more than 30 other nations.
In NATO circles, the export versions, Mi-25 and Mi-35, are denoted with a letter suffix as "Hind D" and "Hind E". Soviet pilots called the Mi-24 the "flying tank" (летающий танк; letayushchiy tank), a term used historically with the famous World War II Soviet Il-2 Shturmovik armored ground attack aircraft. More common unofficial nicknames were "Crocodile" (Крокодил; Krokodil), due to the helicopter's camouflage scheme and "Drinking Glass" (Стакан; Stakan), because of the flat glass plates that surround earlier Mi-24 variants' cockpits.

It was in the year 2003 that the battle for campus democracy in India took a significant turn with the .
.
12.11.2013 .
Sojan Francis case, born out of the attempt by the management of St. Thomas College, Pala (Kottayam, Kerala) to trample upon the democratic rights of students. Sojan Francis, an SFI activist in the college, was denied permission by the college management to sit for a university exam in spite of the direction from the Controller of Examinations of the Mahatma Gandhi University for him to be allowed to take the exam. When the matter reached the Kerala High Court, the court gave a verdict which effectively allowed the college managements to prohibit political activism in campuses. This draconian order was challenged in the Supreme Court by the Kerala University and the Kerala University Students Union, and the Supreme Court issued an order on 12 December 2005 directing the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to constitute a committee to frame guidelines on students union elections in colleges/universities. The committee thus set up, with J M Lyngdoh as Chair, submitted its report on 23 May 2006. .
The Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations (LCR) upheld the need for students union elections in all colleges and universities in the country, including private colleges and universities. Since the vast majority of colleges and universities in India do not allow students unions to function or to have union elections, and since the legal battle was largely about the right of students to engage in political activism, the recommendations were seen by many as a step forward for campuses without students unions and union elections. But it was immediately recognised that for campuses which already have unions, the LCR, with its one-size-fits-all model, would have damaging implications. .
The experience of the students movement across the country in the years since the submission of the Lyngdoh report shows that LCRs stated objective of ensuring students union election in all colleges and universities remain unfulfilled. On the contrary, students union elections were banned in several states as per the whims and fancies of the parties that are in power in those states (e.g. in West Bengal by the Trinamool Congress government). A brute majority of private colleges and universities still do not have unions or elections. Universities like Allahabad University, Aligarh Muslim University, Banaras Hindu University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Utkal University and numerous others continue to flout norms by not having elections or by allowing the scourges of money-power and muscle power to mar the democratic process. In Rajasthan, the previous BJP government had banned students union elections and subsequently, the students movement led by SFI waged a relentless struggle for campus democracy throughout the state. The struggle continued during the period of Congress rule as well. Finally the government was forced to restore elections as thousands of students gheraoed the Assembly while the Left MLAs argued for it inside the Assembly. Such advances have been made in spite of Lyngdoh, and NOT because of Lyngdoh. While the courts of the country do not take notice of such violations as mentioned above, the students union elections in places like JNU and HCU which the Lyngdoh Committee held up as models have been targeted, precisely because the students movement in such places have challenged the unbridled march of neoliberal policies in education and in other spheres. .
The objective of the Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations (LCR), contrary to all pious statements, is to weaken the students movement so as to pave the way for fee hikes, commercialisation, privatisation and centralisation of higher education a process that is already underway. LCR has put in place restrictions that are fundamentally undemocratic and exclusionary (particularly adversely affecting students from deprived sections). For instance, the clause that stipulates an age barrier of 22 years for BA students, 25 years for PG students and 28 years for M.Phil./Ph.D. students (30 years for JNU as per the relaxation granted), militates against students from deprived backgrounds who are often forced to enter higher education at a later age. The clause that prevents candidates from contesting more than once in the central panel and twice for councillor posts defies logic even as it serves to constrain the development of a mature leadership for the union. The eligibility criteria which prevents students who have been tried/convicted for any criminal offence and those who have been subjected to any disciplinary action by the University authorities only aids the college/university administrations to victimise student activists who have participated or led any kind of protests against unjust measures by the authorities. In short, the overarching framework of Lyngdoh curtails students rights and has been damaging to our fight against anti-student college and university administrations and the neoliberal policies of the ruling classes. .
Among the important stated objectives of LCR were the curbing of criminalisation in student politics and ensuring financial transparency. But money-power and muscle power continue to be used unashamedly by right-wing organisations across the country during students union elections to subvert students will and to intimidate and even to eliminate political opponents. In our own campus, the blatant use of money power by the NSUI was on brazen display in the run up to the JNUSU Elections 2013 and even during the election days. .
The JNUSU is mandated by UGBMs in the past to continue the legal and political battle against LCR. While the Supreme Court had referred our case to a constitution bench on 11.11.2009, the said constitution bench has not been formed till date. SFI appeals to the students of JNU to participate in large numbers in tomorrows Mass Deputation to the Chief Justice of India so as to build pressure to expedite the consideration of our case. .

POMPEII - SPECIAL REPORT: "THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII," / IL VENERDI / LA REPUBBLICA (17/12/2010). p. 1 -10.
El director (e) de Prosperidad Social, Pierre García Jacquier, resaltó este jueves los avances en la superación de la pobreza multidimensional, reportados para 2021, y recordó que la gestión de oferta, y los programas de empleabilidad y de vivienda e infraestructura social de la entidad inciden en este logro.
Estos programas mejoran las condiciones de acceso a servicios de salud, de educación, de protección de la infancia y la vivienda en la población en situación de pobreza. “Este avance grande que nos mostró el DANE, entre el martes –cuando presentó las cifras de pobreza monetaria– y hoy, evidencia que el esfuerzo gigante en inversión social, que estamos haciendo desde todas las entidades y ministerios del Gobierno, está dando resultados importantes para superar la crisis pandémica y para retomar la senda de superación de pobreza”, dijo García.
Explicó que existe una relación directa entre los ingresos y la pobreza multidimensional. Los hogares con bajos ingresos tienen mayores dificultades en el acceso a servicios educativos, salud, vivienda y empleo en condiciones dignas: “Superar la pobreza multidimensional impacta en los ingresos de los hogares. Por eso, desde Prosperidad Social le apostamos a la doble inclusión (social y productiva)”.
El pasado martes, en la presentación de las cifras de pobreza monetaria, el DANE y, luego, Prosperidad Social, subrayaron el papel de los cinco programas de transferencias monetarias en la mejoría de los ingresos de los hogares y en la incidencia de la pobreza monetaria y la pobreza extrema en general. García recordó este jueves que las transferencias monetarias de Prosperidad Social “son un factor protector de los hogares pobres, porque aumentan la asistencia escolar, el acceso a los servicios de salud y reducen el trabajo infantil”.
La pobreza multidimensional a nivel nacional cayó 2,1 puntos porcentuales, con respecto a 2020: pasó de 18,1 por ciento a 16 por ciento. Esta es la cifra más baja en 10 años. “En pobreza multidimensional ya estamos incluso en mejores condiciones que antes de la pandemia”, expresó.
El DANE mostró que las privaciones que jalonaron la reducción de la pobreza multidimensional en 2021 fueron la inasistencia escolar –el regreso a la normalidad de educación básica primaria y secundaria–, el bajo logro educativo –incremento de los años de escolaridad de la población mayor de 15 años–, y el rezago escolar –niños, niñas y adolescentes estudiando en el grado escolar que les corresponde–.
A propósito, y sobre el papel de los programas de Prosperidad Social, García recordó: “Las evaluaciones de impacto de Familias en Acción y Jóvenes en Acción han demostrado efectos positivos y significativos en el acceso y permanencia escolar de niños, niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes”.
Las cifras indican que 971.000 personas salieron de la pobreza multidimensional en el reciente año de medición. Es decir, que mejoraron las condiciones en acceso a la salud, a la educación, trabajo, y habitabilidad, no solo en las áreas urbanas del país, también en la ruralidad.
Los departamentos que más redujeron pobreza multidimensional en 2021 fueron Amazonas (13,3 %), Chocó (13 %), Vaupés (12,9 %) y Vichada (10,8 %). “Son los más pobres del país. Esto contribuye a la reducción de la desigualdad territorial. Desde 2018, han salido 1.097.000 personas de la pobreza multidimensional. Esto habla de la democratización de la inversión social del Gobierno durante este periodo del presidente Duque”, dijo García.
