Moves HC against launch of health scheme carrying CM's name despite interim ban
AIADMK, the principal opposition party, on Monday moved a contempt of court petition, seeking the Madras High Court to punish two senior bureaucrats of Tamil Nadu for launching the "Nalam Kaakum Stalin" scheme, carrying chief minister's name, and thereby disobeying the interim orders of the court that cited Supreme Court's guidelines to restrain the use of names of living personalities in government schemes.
The contempt petition was moved by AIADMK's Rajya Sabha member and former law minister C Ve Shanmugam. It was on his public interest litigation petition that the court had pronounced the interim orders on Thursday.
While the contempt petition is yet to come up for hearing, the first bench of the court headed by Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava on Monday adjourned the hearing of the modification petition moved by the state government on Friday regarding the interim orders issued in Shanmugam's PIL.

Six Aces for Higher Education’s Swadeshi Six-pack
Prime Minister Modi’s patriotic appeal for Swadeshi Bharat for Viksit Bharat is a wake-up call for those dreaming elsewhere and living in Bharat. Modi’s “Garv Se Kaho Yeh Swadeshi Hai” is a proud roar of a tiger economy that is experiencing the second coming of its first leadership position in the global comity of nations. The re-imagination of India towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047 is a multidimensional policy prescription that cuts across all socioeconomic growth sectors like public infrastructure, defence, manufacturing, healthcare, education, Agriculture, etc. With active public and private participation in various economic spheres spurring growth, the push for alternate models of engagement with social sectors like education and healthcare cannot come at a time more appropriate than now. The National Education Policy (NEP 2020) is a steaming appetiser already served for a healthy main course that is yet to be served in full.
