@GoibiboSupport@goibibo it’s been two months and you keep extending the date every time I open the app. When will I receive my refund ? The flight was cancelled due to @flyspicejet ‘s issue. Why am I suffering?
@MyIndusIndBank kindly deliver my credit card. The delivery was attempted just once and I had not been contacted ever since. Connecting with your customer care is also very difficult.
this one speakeasy in delhi fronts as a tailor shop and I told the doorman he actually looks like a tailor. he said he IS a tailor by day 🧍♀️ super embarrassing interaction
@avycadotoast Speakeasy was a concept which came up during prohibition times when alcohol was banned in the US. Alcohol is legal in Delhi. What tf is the point of calling a pub Speakeasy in Delhi? It sounds stupid and makes no sense.
Yesterday, a FAKE NEWS was spread by the news anchors that Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz for India after which an oil tanker arrived in Mumbai.
Now Rajesh Kumar Sinha, a senior official of the Government of India, debunked this news.
• The oil tanker that arrived yesterday did not even cross the Strait of Hormuz.
• That tanker was stationed in the Gulf of Oman and the fuel which was loaded on it was meant for Africa.
The anchors were dancing on this fake news, declaring it a victory of diplomacy.
What a shame!
Skill India. The CAG just exposed what INR 10,194 crore of your tax money actually bought.
PMKVY ran from 2015 to 2022. Three phases. INR 14,450 crore outlay. The goal was to skill 1.32 crore youth.
CAG audited it.
Here’s what they found.
95.90 lakh participants under PMKVY 2.0 and 3.0. For 90.66 lakh of them, that’s 94.53%, the bank account field was recorded as zero, null, N/A, or just left blank. Bank accounts were mandatory for Rs 500 DBT payments.
So where did the money go?
The remaining 5.24 lakh who actually had bank details? 12,122 account numbers were repeated across 52,381 people. And some of those accounts were literally “11111111111” and “123456”. Single digit entries. Text. Names. Special characters instead of account numbers.
Now here’s the wild part.
A company called Neelima Moving Pictures (NMP). Not even registered with the Registrar of Companies. This company certified 33,493 people across 8 states in 21 job roles between January and November 2020.
When CAG went looking for NMP in October 2022, the company didn’t exist anymore. They were told it shut down during COVID.
But the photos NMP submitted as training proof? Same batch photo used for Bihar’s Gaya district, UP’s Bahraich and Shravasti, Maharashtra’s Jalgaon, and Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar. Different states. Different batches. Same photo.
Emails sent by CAG for verification? 36.51% bounced. The ones that came back? Many were sent from training partner email IDs, not the actual trainees.
2.72 lakh email addresses were null. Over 3.08 lakh were repeated.
In Bihar, 3 out of 10 training centres were physically shut when inspectors showed up. The portal still showed training was happening.
34 lakh+ certified candidates have still not received their DBT payment. Overall placement rate? Just 41%.
And the official PMKVY website? Try opening https://t.co/IreLqQt9un right now. It doesn’t even load.
INR 10,000 crore spent to skill India’s youth. 94% didn’t even have valid bank accounts on record. Ghost companies certifying thousands with recycled photos. Centres that exist on a portal but are locked on the ground.
This isn’t an allegation. This is the Comptroller and Auditor General of India’s own report.
Who is accountable?
Endometriosis, a condition affecting 190M women and girls worldwide and causes internal bleeding, was given funding for a study in 2013. Instead of studying the causes, what could help cure or ease it and what may make one more susceptible to it. They studied the "attractiveness" of women who had it.....Yes, this is a real study!
