PM Shri Narendra Modi Address at UNSC on “Enhancing Maritime Security”

Free maritime trade is associated with Indian civilization for time immemorial, for example Lothal Port was connected with many civilizations across the globe. It played significant role in spreading the teaching of Lord Buddha worldwide. These were the thoughts shared by the PM Modi during his participation at Security Council debate on August 9, 2021. He added, "Oceans are our shared heritage and our maritime routes are the lifelines of international trade. These oceans are very important for the future of our planet," PM Modi retorted during the meeting, which saw heads of state of the members of United National Security Council participating therein. "This shared heritage of ours is facing several types of challenges. Maritime routes are being misused for piracy and terrorism." "We want to make an inclusive framework on maritime security in our region based on the vision of SAGAR (Security And Growth for All in the Region). This vision is for a safe, secure, and stable maritime domain," the Indian Prime Minister further added. Nevertheless, the highlight of his speech was formulation of necessary principles for International Maritime Trade and security.

The five principles, very critical form international maritime trade and security laid by PM are following:

• 1. The first rule propounded by the PM was pertaining to the free maritime trade which mandates reciprocal respect for every seaman and removal of all kind of barriers restricting maritime trade.
• 2. The second principle laid down by the PM is efficacious international maritime security entails that dispute resolution in maritime trade should be resolved in accordance with the international law.
• 3. The third principle makes an emphasis on maritime threats arising from nature and known state actors must be collectively faced.
• 4. The Fourth principle is about Maritime environment and resources must be preserved i.e., acts like overfishing and marine poaching must be collectively fought.

To inspire the students he gave an example where he stated that one seed of custard apple, when sown in the ground grows into many other custard apple trees with more custard apples to eat. With this analogy, he preached the idea of following the great legal luminaries under whose guidance many young minds will grow into brilliant legal professionals.

The Chief Guest of the event Hon'ble Mr. Justice G. S. Singhvi encouraged the students to achieve the goals and principles envisioned by our founding fathers and the framers of the Constitution of India. Furthermore, he shared his views about the declining standards of two most important sectors, health as well as education and what a student can do to bring positive changes in these fields. Justice Singhvi recollected and shared his memories as a fresh law practitioner in early 1970s in Jodhpur High Court where he was welcomed and mentored by Late Mr. C.L. Agrawal. He cherished and rejoiced the times spent under Mr. Agrawal’s esteemed supervision where as a senior of bar, he was always keen to help young lawyers and educate law students about the nuances of legal practice. This devotion and service of Mr. C.L. Agrawal towards the future of legal education led him to form a trust named as Rajasthan Education Trust which is in collaboration with Raffles University for this competition. At the end of the ceremony, the vote of thanks was delivered by Prof. (Dr.) V.K. Kapoor, Dean, School of Law, expressing his gratitude towards all the participants, Organizing/Sponsoring bodies and last but not the least, Raffles fraternity for successfully opening the event.

In school and college life students have a tender mind that does not know what is right or wrong. Students needs constant guidance and supervision from his teacher otherwise he can go towards the wrong path.

Discipline is a way of being honest, hardworking, strict followers of rules and regulations, social norms and values. Discipline makes students good and perfect to behave or deals with the things. It is an ornament of the students. People like the disciplined students. Discipline leads the people towards a perfect way of living. Students must adopt the disciplinary aspects of every performance that makes them successful all the time.

Discipline is the most under-rated, least understood aspect of student life. This is why we organized a discipline orientation program on Saturday, 12th November, 2016 at 2:00 pm in CR-1 of the School.

The programme started with discussing the code of conduct of the university to the students for their knowledge.

The aim of the session was to make them aware about the sudden and recent changes regarding the demonetization of currency notes of denomination of Rs.500 and Rs.1000. Initially the students made aware about the current scenario of the currency notes. The purpose of this session was to make the students to understand the problem in the right perspective and in order to avoid uncertainty and fear among them. This would enable them to clarify the information about the demonetization at their home and neighbourhood. The session was a reflective one in which the teachers floated the theme and concept of the issue and the students of BBA V voluntarily came forward to present their views on the pros and cons of the recent arising situation.

The advantage and difficulties were also discussed at length by the students followed by a short question-answer session that was designed to clarify the doubts and questions on the issue, students participating and as well as by the faculty members.

This may be a great concern that the people might face problems in the beginning but with the passage of time, they will likely to get benefit from this policy of demonetization of the government.
