SIM cards not linked to Aadhaar likely to be deactivated after February 2018

-



All SIM cards have to be verified with Aadhaar, and all unlinked phones will be deactivated so that criminals, fraudsters and terrorists cannot use the issued SIMs.
The government is moving ahead with linking Aadhaar with mobile SIM cards and all unlinked phones will be deactivated after February 2018, said sources.
The sources said Aadhaar mobile linkage was being done as per orders of the Supreme Court passed in February this year in the Lokniti Foundation case.
All SIM cards have to be verified with Aadhaar within a year from the date of judgement, with all unlinked phones to be deactivated after February next year, so criminals, fraudsters and terrorists cannot use the issued SIMs.
The sources said biometrics cannot be stored by the mobile operators nor they have access to any of the other personal data.
They said biometrics collected should be encrypted by the telecom company and sent to UIDAI at that moment itself and any storage of biometric by a service provider is a criminal offence punishable with up to three years of imprisonment under the Aadhaar Act 2016.
The government had told the Supreme Court in February that it would put in place, within a year, an effective mechanism for the verification of prepaid mobile users who constitute 90% of the total subscribers.
Asking the government to put in place the mechanism for the verification of existing prepaid mobile connection holders “as early as possible”, the court disposed of the petition by Lokniti Foundation seeking the scrutiny of the subscribers so that those having prepaid mobile connections on fake identities are weeded out.

Computer Basics-Basic Parts of a Computer

Introduction The basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord. Each part plays an important role whenever you use a computer. The computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains the main components of the computer, including the motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), and power supply. The front of the case usually has an On/Off button and one or more optical drives. Computer cases come in different shapes and sizes. A desktop case lies flat on a desk, and the monitor usually sits on top of it. A tower case is tall and sits next to the monitor or on the floor. All-in-one computers come with the internal components built into the monitor, which eliminates the need for a separate case. Monitor The monitor works with a video card, located inside the computer case, to display images and text on the screen. Most monitors have control buttons that allow you to change your monitor's display settings, and some monitors also

The following is a list of important formulas for Percentage: 1.  Percent implies “for every hundred”. % is read as percentage and x % is read as x per cent. 2.  To calculate p % of y (p/100) x y = (p x y)/100 p % of y = y % of p 3.  To find what percentage of x is y: y/x × 100 4.  To calculate percentage change in value Percentage change = {change/(initial value)} x 100 5.  Percentage point change = Difference of two percentage figures 6.  Increase N by S % = N( 1+ S/100 ) 7.  Decrease N by S % = N (1 – S/100) 8.  If the value of an item goes up/down by x%, the percentage reduction/increment to be now made to bring it back to the original point is 100x/ (100 + x) %. 9.  If A is x% more /less than B, then B is 100x/(100 + x) % less/more than A. 10.  If the price of an item goes up/down by x %, then the quantity consumed should be reduced by 100x/ (100 + x)% so that the total expenditure remains the same. 11.  Successive Percentage Change If there are succ

हमारे बच्‍चों का मनोविज्ञान बड़ों की पकड़ से हर दिन दूर होता जा रहा है. ऐसा लगता है, मानो पेड़ धीरे-धीरे जड़ से ही दूर हो रहा है.   दयाशंकर मिश्र   |  Updated: Mar 30, 2018, 08:01 AM IST सुनने में बात थोड़ी अटपटी लग सकती है. इसमें नया क्‍या है. सब अपने से प्रेम करते हैं. कुछ तो अपने से प्रेम में डूबे रहते हैं. लेकिन ज़रा ठहकर सोचिए. अब यह बातें कुछ पुरानी सी लगने लगी हैं. हमारे विचार, चिंतन शैली पर सुकून से अधिक बाज़ार/ज़रूरतें हावी होती जा रही हैं. आप अपने किसी भी नज़दीकी को सैंपल के तौर पर चुन लीजिए. बहुत नहीं उनसे केवल तीन-तीन महीने के अंतर पर बात करते रहिए. आप आसानी से समझ जाएंगे कि उनकी चिंतन प्रक्रिया का केंद्र निरंतर बदल रहा है. इस बदलाव में उनका अंतर्मन कहीं नहीं है. जीवन की गुणवत्‍ता कहीं नहीं है. सारा ज़ोर बस इस बात पर दिखेगा कि मेरे पास क्‍या है? हमारे बच्‍चों का मनोविज्ञान बड़ों की पकड़ से हर दिन दूर होता जा रहा है. ऐसा लगता है, मानो पेड़ धीरे-धीरे जड़ से ही दूर हो रहा है. हमारे एक मित्र हैं. दूसरों से ख़ूब बातें करते हैं. बेइंतहा बातें. बातें ही बातें. लेकिन घर वाले
