INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PERSONS

| EDIT
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PERSONS
1 October 2016 

Message of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon   

The International Day of Older Persons is our chance to take a stand against the destructive problem of ageism.
While older persons are often said to enjoy particular respect, the reality is that too many societies limit them, denying access to jobs, loans and basic services. The marginalization and devaluing of older persons takes a heavy toll. It undermines their productivity and experience in the workforce, in volunteerism and through civil engagement while constraining their capacity for caregiving as well as financial and other support to families and communities. Ageism frequently intersects with other forms of discrimination based on gender, race, disability and other grounds, compounding and intensifying its effects.
Ending ageism and securing the human rights of older persons is an ethical and practical imperative. The stakes are high and growing. The global population of older persons is expected to rise from just over 900 million in 2015 to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050, when there will be roughly the same the number of older persons and children under 15.
I condemn ageism in all its forms and call for measures to address this violation of human rights as we strive to improve societies for people of all ages. This demands changing the way older persons are portrayed and perceived, from being seen as a burden to being appreciated for the many positive contributions they make to our human family.
I also call for greater legal guarantees of equality for older persons to prevent ageism from resulting in discriminatory policies, laws and treatment. I urge policy makers to compile better data and statistics on older persons’ health, economic status and general wellbeing in order to better address their concerns. And I hope we will all reflect on our prejudicial attitudes and consider how, as individuals, we can counter ageism.
We have a clear roadmap to transformation: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This visionary plan and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize inclusion and equality, promising to leave no one behind. Older persons are both agents and beneficiaries of change. By advancing progress on the SDGs, we can mobilize the considerable talents, energy and experience of all older persons in carrying out this Agenda.
Let us mark the International Day of Older Persons by forcefully rejecting all forms of ageism and working to enable older persons to realize their potential as we honour our pledge to build a life of dignity and human rights for all.

    Hyderabad, 30th February 2016: The 43rd Arise Steel Sub-Junior National Basketball Championship for Boys and Girls 2016 is all set to tip off at the Sports Authority of Telangana (SATS) Indoor Stadium in Saroornagar in the city between 1st to 7th October. The championship is being organised by the Hyderabad District Basketball Association under the auspices of Telangana State Basketball Association (TBA) and the Basketball Federation of India (BFI).
    The Sub-junior or ‘mini’ nationals is annually held for boys and girls of the age 13 or younger and is the premier national level tournament at this entry level age group. As many as 22 matches per day will be played on a league cum knockout basis inside the two indoor courts within the stadium complex.
    While the Championship will tip off on the morning of 1st October itself, the opening ceremony will be held later in the afternoon from 4 pm onwards. Shri Bandaru Dattatraya, Honourable Union Minister for Labour and Employment will be the chief guest of the occasion. Other guests of honour will be Shri G Kishan Reddy (MLA and Floor Leader, BJLP Telangana), Shri A Dinakar Babu (IAS, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Sports Authority of Telangana) and Shri Aadhav Arjuna, Managing Director, Arise Industries and Agency Private Ltd.

    National level basketball is returning to the city of Hyderabad for the first time in 13 years, after the 2003 Senior National Basketball Championship. In fact, the last time a national level tournament was held in unified Andhra Pradesh was the junior national championship in Anantapur back in 2007.
    Madhya Pradesh is the two time defending champions in the boys section while Chhattisgarh is the defending champion in the girls section from the 42nd edition held in Puducherry earlier this February. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana teams had finished 5th and 10th in the boys and girls sections respectively.
    Full details of the previous 42nd edition, including final standings, are available here:www.tinyurl.com/zxyd7fv

    Tournament Format and Structure

    Like all the other National Championships, the various state teams are divided into upper Level 1 and Lower Level 2. Within these levels, the teams are divided into various preliminary groups. Matches are played in a league format during the group stages followed by the knockout rounds. The championship follows a system of relegation and promotion, whereby the top teams from the lower Level 1 progress to the upper Level 2, while the bottom teams from Level 1 get relegated to Level 2 for the following edition.
    One unique rule only for the U13 level is that no player can play for more than 3 quarters in a game, and 10 out of 12 members in each team must play for at least 10 minutes in each match. This rule is to ensure competitive exposure to maximum number of players.

  • Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour 2016 – Leg 14
Amandeep takes lead on Day 2
New Delhi, 28th September 2016: Amandeep Drall carded 1 under 71 in the second round to jump into the lead in the 14th Leg of the Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour at the Delhi Golf Club here on Wednesday. Overnight leader Siddhi Kapoor could not replicate her first round heroics and is placed second with a total score of 147 after the second round. The INR 7,00,000 event will culminate tomorrow.
After having finished overnight in tied fourth position, Panchkula’s Amandeep Drall played with purpose and put up a much improved performance. She started cautiously, playing a bogey free front nine with a birdie on the 3rd hole. She carded another birdie in the latter half on the 17th hole, while dropping the lone shot of her round on the 16th to finish with a total score of 146.
Kolkata professional and rookie Siddhi Kapoor, who grabbed eyeballs with her first round performance, struggled with the conditions today. Her error prone round of 5 over 77 included four bogeys on the 4th, 12th, 15th and 16th holes along with a double on the 9th. She carded the lone birdie of her round on the 10th hole.
Delhi’s Mehar Atwal carded an even par round of 72 to take the third position. She carded three birdies on the 1st, 8th and 12th holes with an equal number of bogeys on the 4th, 7th and 15th to finish with a total score of 149 after 36 holes. Vani Kapoor too had a much better outing today, and is placed fourth with a total score of 150 after the second round. Her card of 2 over 74 on the day included two birdies on the 5th and 11thholes along with four bogeys on the 4th, 6th, 10th and 16th.
Kolkata’s Neha Tripathi, Kapurthala’s Gursimar Badwal, Chandigarh’s Saaniya Sharma, and Delhi’s Gaurika Bishnoi are all tied for the fifth position with identical totals of 151 after the penultimate round. Neha Tripathi carded 4 over 76 with three bogeys on the 3rd, 15th and 17th holes along with a double on the 16th. She carded the lone birdie of her round on the 12th hole. Gursimar Badwal carded 5 over 77 in the second round with three birdies on the 1st, 11th and 14th holes along with an equal number of bogeys on the 7th, 13th and 16th. However, a triple bogey on the 2nd hole, along with a double on the 10th spoilt her scorecard and she had to settle for the tied fifth position. Gaurika came up with a much better performance to jump seven places with a round of even par 72. She carded three birdies on the 4th, 8th and 14th holes while dropping shots on the 2nd, 3rd and 9th. Saaniya’s round of 3 over 75 included two birdies on the 13th and 18th holes along with bogeys on the 2nd, 3rd, 10th, 14th and 17th.
Pune’s Shweta Galande and amateur Shreya Ghei are tied for the ninth position with identical totals of 153, followed by Delhi’s Ankita Tiwana in the 11th position.
With the top half of the draw within a shot or two of each other, the final round tomorrow is likely to witness keen competition among the contenders.

Mumbai, September 28, 2016: Palpreet Singh, the winner of National Finals of ACG-NBA Jump, India’s first national basketball talent search program, signed NBA Development League contract.  The 21-year old will now become eligible for selection in the NBA D League Draft, which will be held in October.
The 6ft 9in hoopster, who has been training at the New York Athletic Club with coach Ross Burn in Manhattan, said he has trained hard and is confident of getting picked by a D League team in the draft.  “I am happy with the efforts I have put in and I will continue to work hard and make the most of this opportunity because not many get such a chance.”
Palpreet, who had impressed NBA champion Brian Shaw in the national finals of ACG NBA Jump held in the last week of February, was part of the national tryouts held on August 14, 2016 in New York.  Over 200 pro basketball hopefuls exhibited their talent in front of NBA D-League player personnel executives, coaches, and industry scouts that day.
Palpreet sounded confident despite knowing he had competed against over 200 other NBA aspirants.  “The competition is tough but it is great to know you are competing with the best to play in the best league in the world.”
