CURRENT AFFAIRS : STATE NEWS

Uttarakhand Assembly passes UCC Bill; becomes India’s 1st state to implement Uniform Civil Code

The Uttarakhand state Assembly passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, marking it as the first state in India post-independence to adopt a UCC.

Key Highlights :

Committee and Report Submission : The report on the UCC was submitted to the Chief Minister by Ranjana Desai, a retired judge of the Supreme Court and chairperson of the Committee.
Applicability and Equality : The UCC is applicable to all persons irrespective of religion.
It offers a succession scheme similar to the Indian Succession Act (ISA), ensuring equal shares for the spouse, children, and parents of a deceased person without a will.
Repeal of Inconsistent Laws : The UCC repeals inconsistent existing laws.
It recognises children from live-in relationships as legitimate with equal rights.
Prohibits polygamy and imposes a ₹25,000 fine for not registering a marriage.
Criminalization and Acknowledgment : Additionally, it criminalizes various forms of divorce and acknowledges Mehr and Dower alongside maintenance payments.
Implications for Different Communities : The UCC has distinct implications for different communities- it removes the 1/3rd limit on succession for the Muslim Community, treating male and female heirs equally, contrary to traditional Sharia law.
For the Hindu Community, it does not confer coparcenary rights, applying the same succession scheme to both ancestral and self-acquired property across genders.
For the Christian Community, it changes the hierarchy of inheritance rights, allowing both parents to inherit property together.
Goa’s Current Status : Goa is currently the only state in India with a uniform civil code.
The Portuguese Civil Code of 1867, implemented after India annexed the territory in 1961, applies to all Goans, irrespective of their religious or ethnic community.
Constitutional Basis : Article 44 of the Constitution lays down that the State shall endeavour to secure a Uniform Civil Code for the citizens throughout the territory of India.
Article 44 is one of the Directive Principles mentioned in Part-IV of the Constitution.

HPCL’s Rs 73,000-crore Rajasthan refinery likely to start operations by January 2025

Public sector refiner and fuel retailer Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) plans to start commercial production of fuels at India’s newest refinery in Rajasthan’s Barmer city by January 2025.
The refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex, being built at a cost of nearly Rs 73,000 crore, will have a crude processing capacity of 9 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and is expected to cater to the rapidly rising fuel demand in the northern parts of India.
The refinery has achieved 76 per cent mechanical completion and the first refined products are likely to start flowing from the facility by December 2024 or January 2025.
HPCL’s Rajasthan refinery will be the first refinery to be commissioned in India since the Indian Oil Corporation’s (IOC) 15-mtpa unit in Odisha’s Paradip.
The Rajasthan refinery will also be the first refinery to come on stream since Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year announced that India aims to increase its total refining capacity to 450 mtpa from 254 mtpa.
According to the International Energy Agency’s projections, India will overtake China in 2027 to become the biggest driver of oil demand growth globally.
The refinery-cum-petrochemicals project is being executed by HPCL Rajasthan Refinery (HRRL), in which HPCL has a 74 per cent stake, while the rest is held by the Rajasthan government.
The project was first announced in 2008, but could not take off for years due to differences with the state government on fiscal incentives.
Once the issues were resolved, work on the project site began in 2018.

CURRENT AFFAIRS: IMPORTANT DAYS

World Day of the Sick 2024: 11th February

World Day of the Sick is a Catholic Church awareness day, or observance, on February 11, aimed at praying and sharing, sacrificing one’s suffering for the welfare of the church, and urging everyone to see the face of Christ in his or her ailing brother or sister.

World Day of the Sick 2024: History

In 1992, Pope John Paul II established the day to urge people to pray for individuals who are ill and their caretakers.
The pope showed signs of Parkinson’s disease in 1991, but it wasn’t verified until 2001, therefore, it’s notable that he opted to establish the World Day of the Sick barely a year after his diagnosis.
In his apostolic letter “Salvifici Doloris”, the pope wrote extensively on the subject of suffering and considered that it has always been a redeeming process through Christ.
On February 11, 1993, the first World Day of the Sick was observed.
The World Day of the Sick had a particular significance in 2005 because the ailing pope died on April 2 of that year.
As he lay dying in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, a large crowd assembled to pray for him.
On this day in 2013, Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation, citing his poor health as the cause for his departure. On World Day of the Sick, people all across the world take the opportunity to pray for the sick and those who labor tirelessly to alleviate their pain.
Faith-based organizations commemorate this day by providing medicines, food, and spiritual guidance to the sick.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science: 11th February

International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2024 is observed on 11th February
The Commission on the Status of Women adopted a report on March 14, 2011, with the goal of encouraging girls and women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Moreover, promoting women’s equal access to full employment and respectable jobs should be a priority.
The General Assembly recognized in a resolution on science, technology, and innovation for development adopted on December 20, 2013, that women and girls should have full and equal access to and participation in science, technology, and innovation to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. It is necessary for girls and women of all ages.

National Productivity Day: 12th February

National Productivity Day 2024 is observed on the 12th of February
National Productivity Day is commemorated to promote India’s productivity culture.
On February 12, 1958, the National Productivity Council of India was Registered under Societies Registration Act XXI, 1860.
To mark the council’s establishment, its members decided to observe National Productivity Day every year on the same day.
So, apart from encouraging people to be more productive in their work, National Productivity Day also celebrates the anniversary of the establishment of the National Productivity Council.

International Epilepsy Day: 12th February

International Epilepsy Day 2024 is observed on the 12th of February 2024.
International Epilepsy Day is the brainchild of the International Bureau for Epilepsy and the International League Against Epilepsy.
The two organizations have put together various events on the day since their inception.
Epilepsy is one of the world’s oldest-known medical conditions, with records dating back to the beginning of recorded history.
Of course, back then, it was treated as a spiritual condition.
In 2000 B.C., an ancient Mesopotamian text described a person who underwent an exorcism under the influence of a moon god. Ancient Babylonians attributed seizures to possession by evil spirits.
The ancient Greeks also considered epilepsy to be spiritual possession, but they associated it with genius and divine interventions.
International Epilepsy Day is commemorated in more than 120 countries all over the world.

Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday 2024: 12th February

Abraham Lincoln’s birthday is celebrated every year on February 12th to honour the 16th president of the United States.
Abraham Lincoln, who led the nation during the Civil War and advocated for the abolition of slavery, remains a crucial figure in American history.
The history of Lincoln’s Birthday in 2024 dates back to February 12, 1809, when Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin County, Kentucky.
Lincoln began his political career at the age of 23 in 1832 when he ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Illinois General Assembly, as a Whig Party member. He joined the newly formed Republican Party in 1854. Lincoln won the presidency in 1860. He was the president throughout the American Civil War and is known for his issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.
In April 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre in Washington DC on Good Friday. The earliest known observance of Lincoln’s birthday 2024 has been recorded as 1866, one year after his death.
In Buffalo, New York, 1874, Julius Francis, a Buffalo druggist, made it his life’s mission to honor the deceased president. He repeatedly petitioned Congress to establish Lincoln’s birthday as a legal holiday. Lincoln’s Birthday 2024 was never a Federal Government holiday throughout the entire United States. It was celebrated as a holiday and, today, in most states is not celebrated separately, as a stand-alone holiday, but instead is combined with a celebration of President George Washington’s birthday and celebrated either as Washington’s Birthday or as Presidents’ Day. In Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, Lincoln’s Birthday is and remains a federal holiday.
