carbon dioxide emissions to keep them from the atmosphere are central to the climate strategies of many world governments as they seek to follow through on international commitments to decarbonize by mid-century.

WARANGAL: Two decades ago, Damera Yakamma's husband, a cotton farmer in a southern Indian village, committed suicide by consuming pesticide because of his mounting debts, leaving his widow in charge of their two acres of land. After that, the mother of four — then in her mid-twenties — decided she did not want any more chemicals entering her home. With the help of a non-profit in Telangana state's Warangal district, Yakamma and some other local farmers grew their first organic cotton crop in 2005 using natural manure and bio-pesticides. They benefited from lower costs, better health and soil, and premium market prices as buyers sought their higher-quality cotton. But they lost their organic certification in 2015 after a genetically modified cotton variety known as BT, promising higher yields and pest resistance, spread so widely across India that they could no longer buy indigenous seeds from dealers. Still the farmers stuck with natural growing methods to produce cotton sustainably, in a bid to meet growing demand from fashion brands that are increasingly adopting targets to cut climate-heating emissions in their value chains. According to the Confederation of British Industry, in 2020 sustainable cotton accounted for nearly 20% of the global cotton supply.

The 10 unions include Congress-backed INTUC, AITUC of the Communist Party, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, Sewa, Aicctu, LPF and UTUC along with independent sectoral federations and associations. “We demand the Occupational Safety and Health Code, based on the premise of ‘ease of doing business’, be withdrawn forthwith, which weakens whatever safety measures exist at present, rather pushes the workers out of the safety net,” it said. The trade unions demanded that the government ratify the ILO conventions about health and safety, which have been brought under Fundamental Principles of Rights at Work by ILO in its session in 2022. “We demand that all the four codes, including the Code on OSH, be withdrawn and the Indian Labour Conference should be held at the earliest to address the workers’ concerns on codification of laws,” it said in a statement.

Delhi High Court has observed that a spouse who has a reasonable capacity to earn but chooses to remain unemployed and idle without sufficient explanation should not be permitted to saddle the other partner with the one-sided responsibility of meeting expenses by providing maintenance. The high court made the observation while reducing the amount of monthly maintenance from Rs 30,000 to Rs 21,000 to be paid by a man to his estranged wife under the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA). It said the woman claimed to have no independent source of income but has a reasonable educational background being a graduate from Delhi University. “She appears to have voluntarily undertaken social work as claimed despite there being no impediment to undertaking meaningful employment. «The spouse having a reasonable capacity of earning but who chooses to remain unemployed and idle without any sufficient explanation or indicating sincere efforts to gain employment should not be permitted to saddle the other party with one-sided responsibility of meeting out the expenses,” a bench of justices V Kameswar Rao and Anoop Kumar Mendiratta said. The bench said the maintenance does not have to be provided with mathematical precision but to give relief to the spouse who is unable to maintain and support during the pendency of proceedings and to ensure that the party should not suffer due to paucity of source of income. It said the provision for maintenance under the HMA is gender neutral and sections 24 and 25 of the Act provide for the rights, liabilities and obligations arising from marriage between the parties.
