First Foreign Secretary of India, Know His Name

Kumara Padmanabha Sivasankara Menon, widely known as K. P. S. Menon, was a distinguished diplomat and member of the Indian Civil Service (ICS). Born on 18 October 1898 in Kottayam, Travancore (now Kerala), he played a pivotal role in shaping independent India’s foreign policy. Menon became India’s first Foreign Secretary and served as Ambassador to several countries, significantly contributing to India’s international presence. His public service and diplomatic career earned him national and international recognition, including the Padma Bhushan and the Lenin Peace Prize.

Early Life and Education of K.P.S. Menon

K. P. S. Menon was born into a prestigious family in Travancore. His father, Kumara Menon, was a lawyer, and his mother, Janaki Amma, belonged to an aristocratic family from Thiruvananthapuram. Menon pursued his early education at Madras Christian College before attending the University of Oxford. At Oxford, he was an active member of the Asiatic Society and served as president of the Oxford Majlis Asian Society, which honed his leadership skills. He was also admitted to the Middle Temple in 1918 but chose not to pursue a legal career, instead focusing on civil service.

Public Service Career of K.P.S. Menon

In 1922, K. P. S. Menon topped the Civil Services Examination and joined the prestigious Indian Civil Service. He served in various capacities, including Sub-Collector of Tirupattur and District Magistrate of Trichy. He also held key positions in the North West Frontier Province, Baluchistan, and Ceylon. His expertise and dedication led to his appointment as Dewan (Prime Minister) of Bharatpur State, where he was honored with the Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in 1943.

First Foreign Secretary of India

In 1948, following India’s independence, K. P. S. Menon became the nation’s first Foreign Secretary, a position he held until 1952. As Foreign Secretary, he was responsible for shaping India’s foreign relations during a crucial period of transition. He represented India at various international platforms, including the formation of the United Nations, and was instrumental in building diplomatic ties with key nations. His role as Chairman of the UN Commission on Korea (UNCOK) during the Korean conflict further cemented his international reputation.

Diplomatic Roles and Later Career

After his tenure as Foreign Secretary, Menon continued to serve India as Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1952 to 1961. He was the last diplomat to meet Joseph Stalin in person before Stalin’s death in 1953. His tenure in the Soviet Union was marked by efforts to strengthen Indo-Soviet relations. Menon also served as India’s Ambassador to Hungary and Poland, playing a key role in fostering diplomatic ties. After retiring from active diplomacy, he became a member and later Chairperson of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

Personal Life and Legacy of K.P.S. Menon

K. P. S. Menon married Saraswathi, the daughter of C. Sankaran Nair, a prominent nationalist leader. Their son, also named K. P. S. Menon, followed in his father’s footsteps and served as India’s envoy to China. Menon’s grandson, Shivshankar Menon, later became India’s Foreign Secretary and National Security Advisor. K. P. S. Menon passed away on 22 November 1982 at the age of 84, leaving behind a legacy of diplomatic excellence and public service.

Honors and Publications

Menon’s contributions were recognized with numerous awards, including the Padma Bhushan in 1958 and the Lenin Peace Prize.

National Centre of Excellence for Animation: All You Need to Know

The Union Cabinet approved the establishment of the National Centre of Excellence (NCoE) for Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics, and Extended Reality (AVGC-XR) on September 18, 2024. Designed to mirror the IITs and IIMs, this initiative aims to bolster India’s position as a global content hub, enhancing the country’s soft power and attracting foreign investments in the media and entertainment sector. The centre will be located in Mumbai as a Section 8 Company under the Companies Act, 2013.

Objectives and Structure

The proposed centre, tentatively named the Indian Institute for Immersive Creators (IIIC), will employ a hub-and-spoke model, with the IIIC serving as the central hub and other centres as its spokes. Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw emphasized the need to harness economic developments to create new opportunities, particularly in the burgeoning creator economy. Industry bodies like FICCI and CII will partner with the government to facilitate this initiative.

Training and Employment Opportunities

The NCoE will offer specialized training programs for both amateurs and professionals, aiming to develop Indian intellectual property that reflects the nation’s cultural heritage. Vaishnaw noted that advancements in technology used in films like “The Lion King” and “RRR” are already taking place in Indian cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. The initiative is expected to create up to 500,000 jobs in the sector, with controlled costs for attendance since it will be a government institution.

Future Developments

The official name of the centre is expected to be announced at the World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES) in February 2025. Initially scheduled for November in Goa, the summit has been postponed to be held in Delhi. Prior to WAVES, Vaishnaw launched 25 industry-led challenges across various fields, reaffirming the government’s commitment to nurturing talent in the media and entertainment industry.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched the NPS Vatsalya scheme

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman officially launched the NPS Vatsalya scheme in line with the announcement made in the Union Budget 2024.

What is the NPS Vatsalya scheme?

The NPS Vatsalya is an extension of the existing National Pension Scheme.
Managed by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), the scheme will be focused on children and the investment made in this account will be to ensure long-term wealth.
Under the scheme, parents can start saving for their child’s retirement fund.
It functions similarly to the current NPS, which assists people in building a retirement fund by contributing consistently throughout the course of their careers.
In contrast to conventional fixed-income alternatives, NPS contributions are invested in market-linked securities like equities and bonds, which could yield higher returns.

What are its features?

The goal of NPS Vatsalya’s investment strategy is to give parents the ability to invest in a pension account as a way to save for their children’s future.
The strategy attempts to ensure the participants’ long-term prosperity by utilizing the power of compounding.
The initiative enables parents to put as little as Rs 1,000 into their child’s name each year by providing various contributions and investment options.
This means that families with varying economic origins can participate in the programme.
The scheme’s ability to allow parents to start saving for their child’s retirement at a very young age, even infancy, is one of its primary advantages. Over an extended investing term, compound interest can have a significant positive impact on earnings.

Withdrawal rules

After three years of opening the NPS vatsalya account, partial withdrawals are allowed. Up to 25% of the corpus can be withdrawn for specific purposes, including education, medical treatment for certain illnesses, or disabilities over 75%.
Once the child attains the age of 18, the corpus of up to Rs 2.5 lakh can be withdrawn entirely and if it exceeds, the 20% can be withdrawn and the rest 80% can be used for annuity purchase in the NPS.
In the unfortunate event of a subscriber’s death, the entire corpus is given to the nominee, usually the guardian. If the guardian dies, a new guardian must be assigned after completing a new KYC.
If both parents die, a legal guardian can manage the account without further contributions until the child turns 18.

What is the National Pension System (NPS)?

It is a retirement benefit scheme introduced by the Government of India to facilitate regular income post-retirement for all subscribers.
It was launched on 1st January, 2004. Initially, NPS was introduced for the new government recruits (except the armed forces).
With effect from 1st May, 2009, NPS has been provided for all citizens of the country, including the unorganized sector workers on a voluntary basis.

Glasgow to host 2026 Commonwealth Games

Glasgow, which hosted the event 10 years ago, will do so again, though some sports will need to be dropped as the Commonwealth Games Federation aims to reduce costs.

Why Glasgow?

The Australian state of Victoria abruptly withdrew as host of the 2026 Games in July 2023, blaming escalating costs.
Since then, speculation has grown about whether Glasgow could build on its successful hosting of the event in 2014, amid concerns from the Scottish and UK governments about financing the event.
Following lengthy negotiations with organizers, the Scottish government has now signed off on staging the 2026 Games.

Budget

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) offered Scotland almost $A200m (£100m) from the Victorian government’s $A380m compensation owed for pulling out of hosting the event.

Remarks by CGF president

An important first step” towards a new model of Games that minimized cost and encouraged more countries to consider hosting in future.
It should be no surprise that, in looking to reimagine competitive sport at a Commonwealth level, organizers feel Glasgow is a place where their plans can flourish.”
