Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s working formulae is simple-delivering on promises, pro-activeness and good governance and Prakash Javadekar might have fulfilled many criteria to secure the Cabinet rank. 
 
In Modi’s new Cabinet, Javadekar is the lone junior minister who got promoted to the Cabinet rank. This is despite Javadekar, who was junior Environment Minister, was stripped off two main departments-Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, during the two-year reign of this government. 
 
What really helped Javadekar to get this promotion, was his pro-active role in the climate change talks in Paris. 
 
Under Javadekar: 
 
- India signed the historic Paris climate agreement along with more than 170 nations. India had maintained that the burden of fighting climate change cannot be put on the shoulders of the poor after decades of industrial development by the rich nations. 
 
- Initiatives such as increase in forest cover, better pollution monitoring and control and 2000 approvals unlocking Rs 10 lakh crore of investment were taken up. 
 
-A job potential of 10 lakh was created. Also, project approval period was reduced from 600 to 190 days and policy decisions and protecting India’s interest at COP 21 in Paris, etc worked in his favour. 
 
Some of his schemes for future may have also clicked with Modi such as incentivizing tree cover outside forest, promoting Ease of Doing Responsible Business, etc. 
 
Javadekar, a commerce graduate who is from Pune, rose from RSS ranks and was elected to Maharashtra Legislative Council twice between 1990 and 2002 before being first elected to Rajya Sabha in 2008. 
 
He represents Madhya Pradesh in Rajya Sabha. 
 
He was BJP spokesperson and party's incharge of Andhra Pradesh and also instrumental in striking a deal with Chandrababu Naidu's TDP to bring it into the NDA-fold.​

Here’s what helped Prakash Javadekar to get promoted to Cabinet from a junior minister

New Delhi, Dec 2 () The Centre on Monday asked state governments to crackdown on traders hoarding onions, create buffer stocks and distribute imported edible bulb at a reasonable rate in order to provide relief to common man from soaring prices.
 Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba chaired a meeting of the Committee of Secretaries to review the issue of rising onion prices across the country, an official statement said.
 Onions are selling at a high price of Rs 75-100 per kg in major cities.
 In a video conference with the Chief Secretaries of 11 major onion producing states, Gauba was briefed about the various steps being taken by them to control onion prices.
 Chief Secretaries of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana participated in the video conference.
 "The Cabinet Secretary directed the states that the overall availability of onions has to be beefed up, considering the temporary shortage, to stabilise the prices," the statement said.
 The Centre has already banned onion exports and decided to import 1.2 lakh tonnes of onions, besides imposing stock holding limit on traders.
 "The states were further directed to maintain considerable buffer stocks, impose stock limits on traders and to ensure strict action against hoarding," the statement said.
 Gauba said the central government has approved the import of 11,000 tonnes of onions to tide over the situation. The deliveries are expected from the last week of December. 
 This is in addition to import of 6,090 tonnes of onions from Egypt whose deliveries are expected from second week of December.
 "Cabinet Secretary directed the states to utilise their Food and Civil Supply Departments to procure and distribute onions at reasonable prices," the statement said.
 Secretaries of Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture and Food &amp; Public Distribution also attended the meeting.
 On Sunday, sources had said that state-owned trading firm MMTC, which is importing onion on behalf of the Centre, has placed an order of 11,000 tonnes of edible bulb from Turkey.
 According to Consumer Affairs Ministry's data, onion's average selling price on Monday is Rs 80 per kg, while the maximum rate is Rs 140 per kg in Port Blair.
 Onion is being sold at Rs 76 per kg in the national capital, Rs 87 in Mumbai, Rs 90 per kg in Kolkata and Rs 80 per kg in Chennai. 
 The lowest price of Rs 40 per kg was reported from Jhansi in Madhya Pradesh, the data showed.
 The ministry monitors prices of 22 essential commodities based on the data collected from 109 market centres spread across the country.
 On November 19, Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan had said onion production in kharif and late-kharif seasons of 2019-20 is estimated to fall 26 per cent to 5.2 million tonnes.
 Onion is a seasonal crop with harvesting period of rabi (March to June), kharif (October to December) and late-kharif (January-March). During July to October, the supply in the market comes from stored onions from rabi (winter-sown) season.
 During 2019-20, there was a 3-4 weeks delay in sowing as well as decline in sown area of the kharif onion because of late arrival of monsoon, Paswan had said. 
 Further, untimely prolonged rains in major growing states of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh during the harvesting period caused damage to the standing crops in these regions.
 "It's not in our hand, the government is making maximum efforts but who can win from nature," he recently told reporters when asked by when onion prices will come down to reasonable level. MJH RVK

New Delhi, Dec 12 () As farmers jostle for urea supplies in Madhya Pradesh, a first in many years, the Centre on Thursday said there is no scarcity of the crop nutrient and the fault may lie in the change of distribution pattern done by the Congress-led government in the state.
 The BJP and Congress have in recent days clashed over long queues of farmers reappearing in parts of Madhya Pradesh for securing their quota of urea.
 Speaking to , Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Sadananda Gowda said the Centre has provided more urea to Madhya Pradesh than the projected demand for winter crops and it was up to the state government to manage the distribution.
 "Our responsibility is to supply urea to states. And we have done that for Madhya Pradesh as well as other states. It is the responsibility of state governments to distribute urea within states," he said.
 While the Centre had provided all previously sought urea, Madhya Pradesh government this week sought an additional 2.6 lakh tonne of the crop nutrient for rabi season.
 "We are ready to provide the additional quantities," Gowda said.
 Previously, the state government had projected a demand of 15.4 lakh tonne of urea for rabi season, all of which is being provided by the Centre. The additional demand would take the state's supplies to 18 lakh tonne.
 Gowda said there were reports of shortage of urea in some parts of Madhya Pradesh and this could be due to change in distribution system by the state government.
 He informed that the urea availability in the state stood at 7.08 lakh tonne as on December 11 as against the monthly requirement of 4.25 lakh tonne. For the current rabi season, 14.23 lakh tonne of urea has been made available to the state as against the requirement of 10.12 lakh tonne.
 "So practically, there is no scarcity," the minister said.
 He said the Madhya Pradesh government had recently decided to distribute 80 per cent of urea through cooperatives and 20 per cent through private dealer network as against the earlier practice of 50:50 ratio.
 Cooperatives were not able to increase distribution capacity, so "there was small confusion and farmers panicked", Gowda said.
 The minister said he has spoken to state Chief Minister Kamal Nath and conveyed him that sufficient quantity of urea has been made available in the state. As many as 15 rakes of urea are in transit which will reach the state in next 2-3 days.
 Gowda said the Centre is holding weekly video conference with all the states, including Madhya Pradesh to review the demand and supply situation.
 He said the demand for urea in the country has increased in the rabi season due to better monsoon rains and the central government would ensure timely availability of the crop nutrient.
 "Farmers need not worry. There is sufficient urea stock in the country," the minister asserted. MJH ANZ MJH ANU

Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology (IT), Ravi Shankar Prasad made the projection at an event organized by <keyword id="6355988" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Assocham">ASSOCHAM</keyword>. 
	 
	“As Flipkart is growing so big, as we see the success of Alibaba and as we see the aspirational India evolving with great enthusiasm particularly in rural areas, I see a vast opportunity for eCommerce,” said Union Minister Prasad. 
	 
	He added that he expects several services to be available in the country through e-commerce especially in the warehousing sector. “I see almost an explosion of various kind of availability of services through eCommerce, particularly you will have warehouses,” said Union Minister Prasad. 
	 
	Talking about Digital India Programme, which was recently approved by Narendra Modi’s cabinet, Prasad stated that the programme has been commenced considering the country’s low broadband penetration and the fact that the government wants to build a digital infrastructure that becomes a basic utility to everybody in the country. 
	 
	“We wish to reach every gram panchayat of India within a defined period upon government costs and the government user network is here to ensure connectivity. We can have couple of Alibaba in coming future if we are able to rollout this programme very well,” said Prasad. It should noted that the rural telecom penetration is a meager 44%. 
	 
	Emphasizing on the importance of digital infrastructure, Union Minister Prasad noted the high cost of manufacturing in the country has forced entrepreneurs to import goods. “India is importing electronic goods worth $100 billion every year which is likely to cross over to $400 billion by 2020 and the import bill will surpass the fuel import bill,” he added. 
	 
	At present, the government plans to launch electronic manufacturing clusters that will provide infrastructure to attract in investments in Electronics Systems Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector. The first cluster will be launched in Madhya Pradesh early next month, while more such clusters will be set up in other states such as Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Maharashtra among others. 
	 
	“Therefore, from eCommerce to electronic manufacturing to digital connectivity is going to be a game changer of the country,” averred Prasad.
