Establishment Fears About Trump’s Focus on the Fed Are About Optics, Not Policy

The political establishment is trying to stoke panic by claiming that Trump is politicizing the Federal Reserve. However, the Fed is already a political institution.

From their perspective, the real danger is not that Trump is changing the Fed; it’s that he is making its true nature harder to hide.

Mumbai News: BMC Considers 2 Alternative Tanks For Malabar Hill Reservoir Repairs

Mumbai: BMC Considers Two Alternative Water Tanks for Malabar Hill Reservoir Repairs

Following a recent official inspection of the Malabar Hill Reservoir (MHR), the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is exploring the construction of two alternative water tanks before commencing repair work. The civic authorities are currently assessing the operational feasibility of these alternatives to ensure minimal environmental impact and optimal functionality.

Original Plan and Environmental Concerns

Initially, based on recommendations from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, the BMC planned to construct a single alternative water tank with a capacity of 52 million litres per day (MLD). To reduce environmental impact—particularly the felling of trees—residents of Malabar Hill proposed an alternative location for the project.

In response, officials from the BMC’s Waterworks Department conducted a site visit last month to evaluate the feasibility of this suggestion.

Two Sites Identified for Proposed Tanks

“We have identified two proposed sites: one adjacent to the reservoir and another behind the Hanging Gardens. However, the site next to the reservoir has limited capacity, necessitating the construction of an additional 35 MLD tank,” said a senior civic official.

The official added, “Managing two separate tanks would pose operational challenges, so we are currently assessing the feasibility of operating both alternatives effectively.” They also confirmed that this approach would reduce the number of trees that need to be cut down.

Background of Malabar Hill Reservoir Repairs

The Malabar Hill Reservoir, the oldest reservoir beneath the iconic Hanging Gardens, supplies 147 MLD of water daily to South Mumbai. Initially, the BMC proposed a nearly Rs 1000-crore plan to demolish and reconstruct the structure, which required building a 90 MLD replacement tank and would have impacted 389 trees, including 200 slated for transplantation.

However, experts from IIT-Bombay later concluded that complete reconstruction wasn’t necessary and that repairs would suffice.

Scaled-Down Repair Plan Adopted

In February 2024, an expert panel warned that phased repairs would disrupt the water supply unless an alternative tank was created. Acting on the IIT-Roorkee recommendation, the BMC opted for a scaled-down, vertical tank with a 35–44 MLD capacity to minimize land use and environmental impact.

Following sustained public opposition, the original reconstruction plan was ultimately scrapped.

49% Students Drop Out Before Middle School In Madhya Pradesh

**Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Nearly Half of Primary Students Drop Out Before Middle School, Survey Reveals**

The Comprehensive Modular Survey: Education, 2025, highlights a critical issue in Madhya Pradesh’s education system — nearly 49% of students enrolled in primary education do not continue to middle school. The state reports a primary enrolment rate of 41.7%, which sharply declines to just 21.3% at the middle school level, underscoring significant challenges in student retention.

**Enrolment and Dropout Rates Across States**

| Level | MP | India | UP | TN | Kerala |
|———|——-|——–|——-|——-|——–|
| Primary | 41.7% | 41.6% | 47.9% | 36.0% | 34.3% |
| Middle | 21.3% | 22.0% | 21.5% | 24.1% | 19.7% |
| Drop (pp) | 20.4 | 19.6 | 26.4 | 11.9 | 14.6 |
| Drop (%) | 48.9 | 47.1 | 55.1 | 33.1 | 42.6 |

*pp = percentage points*

**Where Does Madhya Pradesh Stand?**

Madhya Pradesh’s dropout rate of nearly 49% between primary and middle school is alarming, implying that almost half of the children enrolled at the primary level discontinue before completing middle school. This rate is slightly above the national average of 47.1% and notably higher than states like Tamil Nadu, which records a dropout rate of just 33.1%.

On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh faces an even more concerning dropout rate of 55.1%, reflecting broader regional issues in retaining students beyond primary education.

**Positive Trends in Gender and Geographic Enrolment**

Encouragingly, Madhya Pradesh shows a slightly higher enrolment rate for females (21.9%) compared to males (20.8%) at the middle school level. This is a positive signal, considering the historical gender gap in education.

Additionally, enrolment rates are quite balanced between urban (22.1%) and rural (21.0%) areas. As noted by CBSE resource person Manoj Bajpai, this suggests that access challenges affect students consistently across geographic locations.

**How Do Dropouts Affect More Than Just Education?**

CBSE coordinator UK Jha sheds light on the wider implications of the steep enrolment decline from primary to middle school:

– **Human capital development is at risk**, with many children missing out on foundational education necessary for higher learning and skill acquisition.
– **Economic growth potential could be constrained** in the long term, due to lower literacy and skill levels in the future workforce.
– **Continued efforts toward gender equality are essential**, as sustained female enrolment plays a critical role in women’s empowerment and socio-economic progress.

**Steps to Stem the Dropout Wave**

Educationist Keran Bahadur recommends the following measures to address the dropout crisis:

– Improve middle school infrastructure and access, particularly in rural and tribal areas.
– Introduce retention incentives and targeted interventions to keep children, especially girls, in school.
– Enhance community awareness and support initiatives to overcome socio-economic barriers causing dropouts.

Addressing these challenges is vital for securing a better educational future for Madhya Pradesh’s children and unlocking the state’s full socio-economic potential.

Trump Gives Putin Another Month Instead Of Two Weeks

During the Q&A session following a meeting between Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump was asked if he still trusted Vladimir Putin. His response was, “I’ll let you know in about a month.”

In the same session, Trump also stated that NATO countries should shoot down Russian drones if they enter their airspace. This marks a significant departure from his usual stance, where he often suggested that Russia might have made a mistake flying into certain areas.

The question remains: what does giving Putin another month actually achieve? How many extensions does the Russian leader get?

When asked, “Mr. President, do you think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace?” Trump replied, “Yes, I do.”

Later, when asked, “Mr. President, any update on your talk with President Putin? Do you still trust him?” Trump responded, “I’ll let you know in about a month from now, okay?”

It seems Putin is not engaging in serious peace talks, yet Trump appears willing to grant him another month, then perhaps two weeks, then a week, and then another month, citing that their talks have been positive. This ongoing cycle raises concerns about accountability and progress.

When will the press do its job and hold these discussions to account?
