  • Climate change gets a boost; environment ministry budget trimmed

    New Delhi, Feb 28 (IANS) In sync with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment on climate change, the government Saturday ramped up budget allocation a whopping sixteen-fold to boost India's mission to climate change and adaption, even as the overall allocation to the environment ministry was trimmed by four percent. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who presented the union budget Saturday, allocated Rs.1,681.60 crore to the ministry for environment, forests, and climate change for 2015-16, which is about four percent lower compared to 2014-15. Serving to undergird India's strong commitment to adaptation and mitigation measures in the run-up to the crucial climate change conference in Paris later this year, the budget allocated Rs.160.01 crore to India's mission on climate change and adaptation - in sharp contrast to the Rs.10 crore committed last fiscal.

  • Kakki Sattai review: A silly romp around exotica and evil

    Once Raj Kapoor took the audience on a world tour in his Around The World and Sangam. Decades later, some Tamil producers and directors (also a few Bollywood mandarins) think that Indian cinema ticket-paying patrons still desire the likes of Kapoor's romps across continents -- romps that can materialise just by sitting on a chair. The budget for Durai Senthilkumar's Kakki Sattai (Khaki Uniform) is Rs 10 crores -- an amount that a parallel movie producer may use to spin at least a couple of films, films that will make a lot of sense and entertain in an intelligent way.
