mid ongoing tensions over Maratha and OBC reservation issues, the Ghansawangi constituency in Jalna district will see a multi-cornered battle as the results are set to be announced on November 23. The constituency, located in Maharashtra’s Marathwada region, has been under the spotlight for months due to the Maratha-OBC reservation protests. Village Antarwali Sarati, where activist Manoj Jarange has led the demand for Maratha reservations in education and government jobs, is part of Ghansawangi. The protests have mobilized the Maratha community, making the quota issue a defining factor in the upcoming polls. The political landscape in Ghansawangi has become more complex with multiple candidates vying for the seat. Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has fielded three-term MLA and former health minister Rajesh Tope, who is up against Hikmat Udhan of the Shiv Sena, a member of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance. The battle is further complicated by two influential independents: BJP rebel Satish Ghadge and former Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Shivaji Chothe. Tope, a veteran in the region, faces significant anti-incumbency sentiment but is still seen as a strong contender, especially given the division of votes among his opponents. Udhan, who has previously lost to Tope by a narrow margin of 3,409 votes in 2019, is determined to close the gap and secure a win this time. Chothe, a Teli by caste, is targeting OBC votes, while Ghadge, the chairman of a local sugar factory, hopes to capitalize on his deep roots in the constituency after being expelled from the BJP. The political dynamics in Ghansawangi are heavily influenced by the OBC and Maratha communities, which together make up a significant portion of the electorate. OBCs, who constitute about 38% of the voters, are expected to play a key role in the outcome. However, the OBC community is not a monolithic group, and its vote may be divided among various candidates, making it challenging to predict a unified OBC vote.UAE delegation included 28 SMEs that showcased their products & services based on advanced technology Abu Dhabi, 15 December 2024: A UAE delegation, led by Her Excellency Alia bint Abdullah Al Mazrouei, Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, participated in the ComeUp startup festival held in the Korean capital, Seoul, recently.

It is also an ideal opportunity to open new global markets for the UAE’s SMEs and support them in promoting their projects to a large base of investors in Korea and many countries around the world. These efforts are of great significance since SMEs constitute 94% of the total companies operating in the UAE markets, and contribute 63.5% to our non-oil GDP.” “The Ministry of Economy is committed to providing all forms of support to Emirati entrepreneurs and creating a supportive environment for the growth of their businesses, enabling them to attract investments and promote their products and services in foreign markets. This is in line with the objectives of the National Agenda for Entrepreneurship and SMEs, which aims make the country a true entrepreneurial nation by 2031,” she added. Her Excellency Alia Al Mazrouei shed light on the initiatives under the UAE’s new entrepreneurship system, which aim to sustain the UAE’s leadership and competitiveness in this field and increase the rate of success for entrepreneurs from 30 percent to 50 percent by 2031. These initiatives include the “Riyada Fund,” which has allocated incentives totaling AED 300 million to encourage graduates to pursue entrepreneurship and foster an entrepreneurial mindset and culture among various communities in the country. It also includes the “Youth Entrepreneurship Council”, which empowers young entrepreneurs to keep pace with developments in the field and promotes the culture of self-employment among them. Her Excellency Alia Al Mazrouei urged Korean investors and entrepreneurs to capitalize on the UAE’s dynamic entrepreneurial environment and explore business and partnership opportunities available across various vital sectors.

BINGE-WATCHING a CSI TV show marathon when she was home sick from high school planted a seed in Tori Berezowski's mind to work in forensics. Login or signup to continue reading At 16-years-old the Canadian was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and she thought maybe she could become a doctor or a nurse to help people. "I knew I wanted to help people in a really meaningful capacity," she said. That's when she combined her initial interest in forensic science and her desire to help others and made the decision to study anthropology as a major during her undergraduate studies. "It brought those two worlds together because although we're working with deceased individuals the work we do can help with the police and their investigations, but we can also connect people back with their loved ones," she said. She fell in love with the field, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) and then a Master of Science from the University of Toronto, Canada. In 2020 she boarded a plane to Australia on a Vice-Chancellor's PhD Training Scholarship to take her next study step in Newcastle. "I had never been to Australia before this and it was a bit of a crazy decision looking back but now my whole life is here," she said. "Having grown up in Canada where six months of the year is winter, Newcastle was such a beautiful change with its beaches." On Monday, December 16 the 30-year-old will graduate from the University of Newcastle with a PhD in Law - combining aspects of forensic anthropology, criminology and geophysical sciences. "I've had a really great time, and oh man I did it," she said. Supervised by criminologist and forensic scientist Dr Xanthé Mallett, Ms Berezowski's PhD research helped tackle the problem of locating hidden graves by trialling two innovative technologies for searching underground: ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). "These are graves that are associated with homicides. An offender can choose to get rid of the body, and one of the ways to do that is in a grave - which is quite advantageous because graves are so hard to find," she said. "One of my favourite parts of my degree was the field work that I got to do. I got to go out to the Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research and do my data collection, which was always a really good time." "I also got to be connected with some really great researchers." She said she felt relieved to be graduating and hopes to secure a job as an academic. "I really love teaching and my dream role would be some kind of lecturing position at a university either in forensic science or in crimonology," she said. Dr Berezowski joins more than 3700 students graduating from the instituion this week. Graduates will join a network of more than 185,000 alums who stretch across 154 countries worldwide.
