5 'Hatke' news of the day!

Your daily dose of 'hatke' news, CnC style!

  1. Though healthcare didn't sound to be an important agenda for the common man before the elections (unlike in US), the UPA government is now serious about extending the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY) or the National Health Insurance scheme to cover all households below poverty line.
  2. Indian largest private bank, ICICI is looking to restructure to save around Rs. 1300 crores.
  3. Bangladesh shifts from GMT +6 to GMT +7. The reason being, the 1 hour gain would help the nation use sunlight more effectively and save electricity (What an idea sirji! )
  4. Reading the PWC report on Indian sports, I wondered if sports in India would reach greater level so soon, but Saina Nehwal brings in new hope after wining the Indonesian Open.
  5. A Sikh lawmaker is among the contenders for the Speaker of British Parliament.
