It is in the human nature to compare of what one possesses with each other. This

attitude that we develop in our childhood continues to affect our approach and social

growth in life. This comparison at times leads to a healthy competition and at others

to jealousy and frustration. A few bad men here and there followed by some bumping

thuds make us believe that if we do not want to suffer any more, we must follow the

righteous course of positivity instead of burning ourselves in jealousy.

Positive approach leads to the ultimate success, the industrialists of this area,

have always rejoiced the situations we find ourselves in, even after withdrawal of

concessions on 31st March 2010 and partial restoration of the same in December

2010. In whatever way we look at it, we find ourselves in the list of favorite children as

compared to others who remained out of the facilities extended to us in 2003.

The government on their part has always responded to our requests (demands)

in a very healthy and accommodating spirit, and when we have the support of the

authorities who matter, we can work with ease. Let us acknowledge with gratitude,

the efforts made by one and all, to see that we are comfortable. Here is a stage where

we do not have to ask as to what has the government done for us. We should be able

to say as to what we are doing for the government to promote social togetherness

and responsibility in the masses.

Our up-bringing also teaches us to give back to society in whatever measure, to

we can. There are no bindings on this account. giving out favors under pressure is not

fruitful. Giving out of pleasure, even the least you can is good for the benefactor and

the beneficiary. We have come across instances where our members are contributing

for the benefit of the masses as a part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. A case

in point relates to Torrent Pharmaceuticals discussed in this issue.

We are also aware that similar activities are being carried out by others but are

not reported. Let us now take a leaf from the Torrent and join page after page to tell

others that we do not lag in fulfilling our corporate social responsibility .

here could not have been a better time for

BBNIA having reached a major milestone Twith the much-awaited project CETP

(Common Effluent Treatment Plant) receiving Govt.

of India's approval. Our special thanks to various

officers of the Himachal Government, BBN

Development Authority, and of course the

members of BBNIA who worked together to

fructify this Rs. 80.50 crores project.

This multi-pronged project involves setting up

the CETP, establishment of Skill Development

Centre, and widening and strengthening of roads.

The SPV for this project Baddi Infrastructure Limited

set up jointly by BBNIA and BBNDA is in place, and

we are on our way to create a better and clean

Baddi with its municipal and industrial waste

management through CETP and improved road

infrastructure, while the need for skilled manpower

would be met through the Skill Development

Center. Let us respond to our part of commitment

at the earliest.

Planned growth for aSustainable Society

P res ideen t -E lec t wr i tes :

January 2011 3A winner is one who accepts his failures and mistakes,picks up the pieces, and continues striving to reach his goals.

lanned growth is the essence of

civilization and prosperity. India has not Pshown foresight in planning execution

and deliverance as compared to their

counterparts who have risen from a similar

situation in lesser times. When priorities are not

properly assessed and organized, i.e. planning

is improper, designs require frequent

modifications, completion get delayed time and

again leading to cost escalations and

inconvenience to people, it causes confusion

and crises. And, we Indians are not only smart

crises managers but are also equally smart in

inadvertently creating pressure situations too.

Examples of poor planning are newly

constructed fly over at Zeerakpur which has

given relief to a few but inconveniences to

many. Same is with us in BBN area. Time is now

for us to plan and grow according to the

convenience of people unmindful of their

political attachments. Let us learn to rise above

politics and be proud of the nation (and not the

party) we represent.

Planned growth of any society or an area is

essential to ensure that as they grow, they do

not start bursting at the seams within or

outside the period for which development is

planned. For us we have BBNDA, planning to

show the shape this area will look like, say after

a period of twenty years or so.

But what are we going to do in between

the period till the plan is decided, agreed,

started and finished? And if the benefits of the

planned development are to accrue on the

death end of the period of planning, what do

we, working at the present stage stand to gain?

Is the planning intended to benefit the future

generation alone? Possibly not.

Any planning need to touch the very heart

of people making them grow as the planning

broadens. It means, each one being catered to

becomes a part of it and helps in development.

But unfortunately, the implementation of a plan

is considered as the sole responsibility of the

government with the result, we prefer to watch

from a distance and complain of things not

done. This has led to a change in the thought

process of the implementers who now prefer to

make the beneficiaries a part of the planning to

make it user- driven and user-friendly.

The number of development plans with us,

the BBNIA, other than those of the BBNDA,

may they be relating to Working Men's Hostel,

CETP, Skill Development Centre, Baddi heights

for Trade Centre plus Club House, Mini Tool

Room and even development of internal roads

of industrial connectivity, have all been

designed as user driven.

It is highly appealing when we know that a

project offered to us is “user driven” but we do

not perhaps appreciate the significance of the

term “user driven”. It implies that we also

contribute in financial terms to make us feel the

ownership of the project we perceive, plan and

implement with the help of the government

who remain as the biggest contributors.

We are also being involved by the BBNDA in

implementing the plans which are more as

area-centric rather than industry-centric.

Progress of industry should match the progress

of the people in the area as both are inter-

related. We are ready to take up social

responsibilities according to the need of the

hour. Let us be the partners to progress of our

country through this small area called BBN to

reap fruits of total development so as to leave

an easier place for the coming generations.

When we join hands and make a circle to

progress together, we can encompass even the

sky and say that even the sky is not the limit.

C O V E R S T O R Y

e have been talking about

Industrial Infrastructure Up-Wgradation Scheme (IIUS) in our

earlier issues of Disha with a promise to

highlight its contents.

BBNDA along with BBNIA worked at

tandem for CETP from conceptualization of

the project, which is now almost at the

verge of implementation. Project approval

from the Govt of India in shortest period of

time was a herculean task. Commendable

Job done by the Officers of the State, Govt

of India and BBNIA for getting the project

sanctioned which has three components

mentioned below. This is one of the biggest

ever cleaning act for an industrial belt at the

pharma hub of Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh,

in Himachal Pradesh.

The project announced for us as a part

of IIUS scheme of the government of

India covered three aspects:

nA combined waste water treatment

system, a common effluent treatment plant

in short called CETP.

nRoads in the industrial area to be

widened, uplifted, strengthened and even

constructed where necessary to match

with global medicine producing standards.

nProviding of Skill Development centre.

CETP is the predominant part of the

combined project involving bulk of

expenditure and before we go into it, let us

speak about the involvement of funds for

each of the sub-projects including

administrative and fixed assets allocations.

The project could not take shape without

help of the state Govt. who agreed to

provide 126 bighas of land and 7 crores of

capital for the project.

First thing first, we owe our special

thanks to the State Government.

The cost of the project as a whole:

The Government of India, Ministry of

Commerce & Industry has conveyed their

final approval under the scheme on 19

November 2010 for a project costing Rs.

80.50 crores to cover the following works:

n Providing CETP Rs. 53.80 crores

nSkill Development Centre Rs. 8.10 crores

nWidening & Strengthening of Roads

Rs.17.24 crores

nAdministrative expenses & Fixed Assets

Rs. 1.36 crores

Power PointINDUSTRIAL InfrastructureUp-gradation Scheme

One of the biggest ever cleanup drives for an industrial belt atthe pharma hub of Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh, inHimachal Pradesh.

Funding for the above is to be provided

by the central government (58.28 crores),

state government (7.00 crores), and

industries contribution (15.22 crores) to be

provided in cash or by raising of Term Loan.

All the three parts of the IIUS are of great

importance to the industry in the area who

is likely to be the biggest gainers. If we once

analyze and agree to come forward and

help with our contribution fixed at the

minimal and absolutely necessary level the

desired results can be achieved.

CETP- Anticipated fall out

The initial thought process of cleaning

BBN started with Central Pollution Control

Board describing the area as close to being

severely polluted. High Court of Himachal

Pradesh taking suo-moto action on this

news desired to know as to how the

government intended to meet the

challenge.

The state government, thereafter,

directed the BBNDA to come up with a plan

to de-pollute Baddi and the latter requested

the central government to assist the state to

contain pollution by providing funds under

IIUS. However, as the scheme is available on

PPP basis to be implemented through a

special purpose vehicle (SPV), BBNIA was

offered the responsibility to rise to the

occasion for benefit of Industry.

President, Shri Rajender Guleria who is

always quick to procure what is best for the

industry in the area, agreed by accepting

the responsibility knowing fully well that

CETP will be utilized to its capacity by

industrial houses that need it the most. He

also has the backing of other members

because of which the contributions

required from them for the project can be

raised.

And that is how, we are into it.

State government earmarked 126.17

bighas of land for location of CETP and its

possession was taken over by the Baddi

Infrastructure in November 2010 as

reported in our last issue.

The special feature of this initiative is

that the scheme is implemented through a

special purpose vehicle (SPV) at the

individual cluster level so as to ensure that

the infrastructure upgrade/development is

user-driven.

BBNIA, in collaboration with BBNDA,

geared itself by forming SPV in the name of

M/s Baddi Infrastructure (BIL). Shri Rajinder

Guleria as Director of BIL took up work to

prepare DPR for setting up CETP in

consultation with M/s UPL Group for

presentation before a committee headed

by Ms. Harider Heera, Additional Chief

Secretary (Industries) and other members

drawn from the government and from

BBNIA. The DPR was approved in

November 2010. Proactive role was played

by Mrs. Sarojni Thakur, Additional Chief

Secretary (Science & Technology) – cum-

Chairman PCB, Mr. Nageen Nanda,

Member Secretary Pollution Control Board

and Mrs. Meera Mohanti CEO, BBNDA.

As a further step towards setting up of

CETP, the Government of Himachal Pradesh

by their Order dated 27October2010

authorized BIL as the sole agency to collect,

deposit, process and dispose sewerage,

municipal and industrial effluents in the

prescribed manner on payment of fees as

may be imposed after approval of the state

government.

Accordingly, BIL is required to ensure

scientific collection and disposal of such

municipal, sewerage and industrial

effluents and wastes in Baddi, Barotiwala

and Nalagarh areas and also to ensure that

no person having residence or industrial,

commercial or any enterprises including

shopkeepers, vendors, wholesalers,

retailers, hawkers, rehriwalas etc. in this

area throw or deposit or dispose off

sewerage, municipal waste and industrial

effluent or resort to any unscientific disposal

of such sewerage and industrial effluents in

streams, wells, rivers, rivulets, public drains,

roads, road sides and any open or private

places or in any other manner except

through BIL.

A reading of the above order clearly

devolves responsibility on BIL for proper

upkeep of BBN and obviously, if the orders

are implemented in letter and spirit, BBN will

notice a sea-change in its living standards.

As per estimates of the pollution control

board, effluent treatment capacity of the

CETP will be around 23 million liter per day.

We can well imagine that if this much

quantity is removed and treated, the stain

of being the most polluted area will be

washed out from the face of Baddi.

C O V E R S T O R Y

5January 2011No matter what you've done or haven't done, the opportunity to do more,to be more will always be there… never be satisfied!

The Government of India has already

sanctioned Rs. 17.48 crores in favor of BIL

and the funds are likely to be released

shortly into their accounts.

The Board of Directors, BIL had fixed

criteria of contribution by the industries

based on the parameters of total

investment of the company and total

discharge of the effluent. Till the time of

reporting, BIL had received a contribution of

Rs. 26.56 lakhs from only 28 industries.

Skill Development Center

Govt. of India has constituted a

National Skill Development Board and a

corpus of Rs 1000 cr has been placed at the

disposal of this organization to stimulate

skill development in the country thereby

contributing value addition to the economy

in terms of trained manpower.

Skill development center would work for

skill development and skill up gradation by

regular and modular courses specially

designed for the requirements of Textiles,

Engineering, Pharmaceuticals, Packaging,

Plastic Moulding, Automobiles FMCG etc.

This will take care of skill gap and will lead to

productivity enhancement and promote

local employment. As we all have felt the

difficulty in finding skilled labor in this area at

a reasonable cost, the announcement to

provide one skill development center for

Baddi was highly appreciated. The

curriculum for this center is being designed

to meet requirement of skilled workers in

different fields of interest to most of us. The

system of admission at the center, subjects

to be taught, duration of each program

system of administrative control, fee

structure and the rest related topics are

being considered by a group of industrialists

under the able guidance of Shri Rajender

Guleria.

The sk i l l deve lopment cente r

sanctioned as a part of IIUS is to be

constructed by BBNDA and BBNIA as

partners. As with the CETP, the concept,

design and outlay of the Center was

approved in November 2010. This work is

likely to be given final shape after obtaining

accreditat ion from the concerned

educational authorities. It is sincerely hoped

that our problem for skilled workers will now

be met within and many young students in

Himachal Pradesh can get employment

straight from the campus.

Internal Roads

We suffer of inter-connectivity within

Baddi and even the roads that are available

are narrow and in a bad shape. Efforts

made by BBNDA in this direction suffered

due to shortage of funds. With coverage of

strengthening the roads under IIUS, these

roads will be uplifted to global standards.

Widening and strengthening of the

roads, covers 16.34 Kms of three internal

roads involving an estimated cost of Rs. 18

crores. Under this project, the roads would

be widened, uplifted, strengthened and

even constructed where necessary. Proper

drainage, footpaths and truck lay byes

would be provided.

The CEO, BBNDA informed that the

contractor entrusted with the work shall be

made responsible for its up keep for the next

three years from the date of completion. It

may be added here for information of our

members that IIUS was launched by the

Government of India in 2003 as a central

sector scheme to enhance international

competitiveness of the domestic industry by

providing quality infrastructure through

public private partnership (PPP) in existing

functional clusters. We notice that all

facilities presently being offered by the

government at the state and (or) the center

require the beneficiaries to partly finance

and execute. You will find similar instances

for other works offered to us, referred to

elsewhere in this issue.

Let us rise to this latest approach of the

government and avail the facilities which

are important for our welfare and progress.

6 January 2011Time is the coin of your life, It is the only coin you have and onlyyou can determine how it will be spent.

he State Govt. in recent past has imposed Entry Tax on many items/commodities to which there was a sharp reaction from the

Industry. As per the Govt. reason of imposition of this tax is primarily to boost local industry as well as to garner some revenue Tfrom the units indulging in Stock Transfers of their entire production thereby causing a loss to state exchequer. BBNIA had taken

up the said issue with the Hon'ble CM directly on whose directions the rates of tax on most of the items were rationalized, the entry tax

was stopped to be collected at the barriers, the industry was assured to allow the input credit of the entry tax paid to be set off against

payment of CST/VAT. However, except the decision of stoppage of collection of Entry Tax at the barriers rest of the decision are pending

on account of imposition of code of conduct due to elections to PRI/Local Bodies. Though the effect of these relief, if notified is yet to be

assessed , there is another news gaining ground that state govt. is planning to impose Entry Tax on Pharma Raw Material, which is main

ingredient for the entire Pharma Industry in the state. As per the President, Himachal Drugs Manufacturers Association , Mr. Sanjay

Guleria, the survival of the pharma industry will be under threat if any such move is made and as such has requested the Himachal Chief

Minister not to levy any additional tax like entry tax etc., to enable the small units in the state comprising of 80 per cent of the industrial

set up to survive. It will be a matter of wait & watch till the Govt. responds to the aspirations of this particular sector.

Indian entrepreneurs are smartest,tougest and most enterprising in the world

Denn ing p r i ze s fo r qua l i t y and

manufacturing, it has helped India to win

over confidence of many countries

including Japan.

The trip to Japan has confirmed that

Indian entrepreneurs are smartest,

toughest and most enterprising in the

world. They need proper exposure. The

group lead by Mr. Dharamendra Prakash,

Joint Development Commissioner MSME

Govt of India and Harpreet Singh from CII

played a pivotal role by giving a global

exposure to Indian entrepreneurs thereby

opening the corridors of technology and

business opportunities for many of us.

During this trip we visited various

We know that their’s was the country

worst affected by world war; the disaster

caused by the atom bomb and when it was

told that half of the Japanese had thus

perished; we wonder the pace of

infrastructure development and economic

growth recorded by them soon after world

war.

Japan is a country worth admiring for its

infrastructure – in terms of roads, civic

amenities, water management and mass

rapid transportation system.

Readers will perhaps remember that it

was reported in Disha, December 2010

issue under the subject of “Correcting Trade

part of delegation of Indian industrialists Isponsored by the central government,

Ministry of MSME in collaboration with CII.

Ours was a group of 25 Industrialists of

MSME sector drawn from various parts of

India. The objective for the team was to

learn manufacturing practices and systems

in Japan and to experience international

exposure.

As an introduction to Japan's customs

and systems, I may add that the Japanese,

as we all know, are short in stature, large at

heart and highly sharp in the head.

The most impressive thing about them

is that they do not boast about their

achievements, are extremely humble and

polite, soft spoken and focused that at

times it becomes difficult to interpret what

The change has also given us “better

women have better empowerment. Our

Let us work to compete in the present

set up, and try simultaneously to mitigate

the ill-effects caused to the society by

globalization.

day celebrations. Lack of moral values is

causing many serious problems.

Thanks to globalization, we are now

prone to commercialism which means that

we want to acquire all that is the best in

materialistic world, use what is convenient

in operation, wear what is branded. In short

we want everything that is western even

when we cannot afford.

The speed with which we wish to be a

global competitor is causing erosion of

human resources like coal, gas and water to

near extinction. We are not even

considering the resultant pollution we are

adding to the atmosphere that may cause

the end of our own children.

In the words of Sh. Simran Joidka,

Assistant Professor in Economics at

Chandigarh, “Globalization is an inexorable

force; we must live in harmony to grow”. It

has now provided us with a better banking

system, a mature capital market, a spate of

IT professionals, skilled technocrats, and big

lobalization is a process of social,

political, economic and cultural

integration of nations. No Gcountry is a stranger to the other because of

the available means of communications

and is mutually inter-dependent for growth.

The developed countries and the

developing countries are vying with each

other to outdo the other and the backward

countries of the world are being provided

with sufficient means to tide over their

backwardness. Consequent to this, an

amalgamation of different cultures is taking

place which require examination of the

merits and demerits of globalization.

The S ta te i s w i thdrawing i t s

participation in various activities of social

relevance leaving the field open to

privatization. This has in turn increased the

gap between the rich and the poor because

of a tendency of private players to earn

more at lesser cost. Employment insecurity

in the wake of privatization has curtailed

A Japanese company (Toyota) and an

American Company (Ford Motors)

decided to have a canoe race on the

Missouri River. Both teams practiced long

and hard to reach their peak performance

before the race. On the big day, the

Japanese won by a mile. The Americans,

very discouraged and depressed, decided

to investigate the reason for the

crushing defeat. A team made up of senior

management members was formed to

investigate and recommend appropriate

action.

Their conclusion was the Japanese had

8 people rowing and 1 person steering,

while the American team had 7 people

steering and 2 people rowing. Feeling a

deeper study was in order; American

management hired a consulting company

and paid them a large amount of

money for a second opinion. They advised,

of course, that too many people were

steering the boat, while not enough people

were rowing. Not sure of how to utilize that

information, but wanting to prevent

another loss to the Japanese, the rowing

team's management structure was totally

reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 2 area

steering superintendents and 1 assistant

superintendent steering manager.

They also implemented a new performance

system that would give the 2 people rowing

the boat greater incentive to work harder. It

was called the “Rowing Team Quality First

Program” with meetings, dinners and free

pens for the rowers.

There was discussion of getting new

paddles, canoes and other equipment,

extra vacation days for practices and

bonuses. The pension program was

trimmed to “equal the competition” and

some of the resultant savings were

channeled into morale boosting programs

and team work posters. Next year, the

Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated,

winter as H.P.S.E.B. has signed an agreement with U.P. to borrow Ielectricity. As per the agreement Himachal Pradesh will be given

42 lakh units from Uttar Pradesh. H.P.S.E.B. has also decided to

borrow electricity from the neighbouring states, Punjab and

Haryana on the basis of banking. Apart borrowing electricity from

the three state, board has also sent a letter to the center Govt. for

the supply of 100 M.W. of electricity. This is confirmed by the

Director (technical) Mr. R.k. Dhiman . According to the statistics, in

winter Himachal needs 200 lakh M.W. of electricity whereas supply

hardly reaches 100 lakh M.W. This demand is fulfilled by borrowing

electricity from center and the neighbouring states.

he Excise and Taxation Department has rationalized levy of

Entry Tax and will charge 2 per cent entry tax on all Industrial Tinputs and half per cent on non-ferrous materials. This will

benefit the steel units, manufacturers of LPG cylinders,

pharmaceuticals etc. Shri Jagdish Sharma. Excise and Taxation

Commissioner, informed that as entry tax has been brought under

the ambit of VAT, this would help generate revenue to the state. As

per a report appearing in the press, goods worth Rs. 3000 crore

manufactured in the state, are branch transferred to other states

through corporate offices or are subjected to consignment sale.

Resultantly, on an average 1 per cent levy of entry tax on goods so

transferred or sold can generate revenue of Rs.30 crore for the state.

up before 31.03.10, enjoying Excise Duty Exemption under

Notification 49/2003 0r 50/2003 vide its latest circular 939 dated

23.12.2010.

As per the clarification made vide the said circular the

Industry will be benefited in following circumstances:

“Full excise duty exemption will be available on capacity

expansion undertaken by the existing units even after 31.03.10 .”

“The exemption will be available to all products ( including New

Products, if any) manufactured by such units even if they install the

plant and machinery and other capital goods after 31.03.10.” The

only rider to the above order is that the relief in excise duty is

available to all the eligible existing industrial units only for a period of

ten years from the date of their Original Date of Commencement of

Production.

hile, local industrialists were

rejoicing in what they got in Wshape of clarification on Excise

Duty Exemption, they simultaneously

found a cause to lament because of

another news of Govt. of India deciding to

enhance the capital subsidy to industrial

units in Jammu & Kashmir from 15% to 30%

with increase in cap on the same from

Rs.30.00 lacs to Rs.150.00 lacs. The same

benefit is already being enjoyed by units in

North Eastern States.

BBNIA has taken up this issue of

discrimination directly with Hon'ble Union

Minister of Industry & Commerce, GOI, Sh.

Anand Sharma, who fortunately happens

to be from State of HP, by sending a strong

representation to extend this benefit to

existing as well as future units in state of HP

also.

As per the version of GOI, these extra

benefits are being offered to these states

because of the unrest prevailing there, isn't

it a pity that peaceful states suffer because

of being peaceful……….

BBNIA has also approached the State Govt.

to take up this issue on behalf the industry

in the state vigorously with GOI so that the

feeling of discrimination among the local

industrialists may be addressed at the

earliest. It is hoped & prayed that GOI

responds positively.

A destination for all seasons and all reasons.

imachal is taking its shape as “A

destination for All seasons and All Hreasons”. The state government, in

addition to revolutionizing its approach to tourism, is

roping in entrepreneurs to expand their activity from

hotel industry to adventure tourism.

Chamera lake in Chamba ravines owes its

formation to the Chamera Hydro Project constructed

for generation of power in the state. This lake, like

quite a few other similar lakes in the state was not

listed as a place of tourist attraction till some private

entrepreneurs of Dalhousie formed a joint venture

for adventure tourism by deploying a cruise and

some boats including motorboat in the lake.

On the same lines of adventure tourism, the

Department of Tourism & Civil Aviation is, in

collaboration of Heli Taxi operators, introducing Heli

Taxi services from Shimla and other destinations. This

will help tourists to reach and feel greater heights

which till recent times were like 'distant dreams' to

them.

Mr. Arun Sharma, Director Tourism & Civil

Aviation, Himachal Pradesh says “it is not possible to

develop tourism in isolation so the need of the hour is

to integrate the efforts of all the departments

concerned so that facility like good roads, water,

electricity, good air connectivity, well planned urban

and rural centers can be created.”

This is what he calls as 'total tourism' where every

department that can contribute to generate

adequate tourist facility joins in. The term

'departments concerned' used by him possibly

means all others who can help in promoting tourism

and includes entrepreneurs also.

The tourism department has proposed to

earmark areas STZ on the lines of SEZ for the

Industries.

It is perhaps time, where the tourism

department earmarks cer tain un-explored

destinations may they be connected with adventure,

pilgrimage, tribal, cultural, wild life , Buddist tourism

or any other field to be explored by entrepreneurs.

This can be achieved by extending to them

reasonable facility, encouragement and operational

convenience.

CASE IN POINT

Outcome ofG-20 MeetingChina is likely to emerge as the world's largest economy leaving behindAmerica but India is not far behind and is in the race to become a dominantworld economy as it was 200 years ago.

16 January 2011Confidence comes naturally with success but...Success comes only to those, who are confident.

20 meeting at Seoul 2010 is indicative of

shifting of power to the East where the

largest emerging economies are taking Gover from the old “rich club” of the Group of Seven.

Europe and North America burdened with the global

downturn in debts and facing recession were face to

face with Asia and most of Africa who were not

affected by recession. China is likely to emerge as the

world's largest economy leaving behind America but

India is not far behind and is in the race to become a

dominant world economy as it was 200 years ago.

Leaders from the Group of 20 said they would

work to tackle global economies “tensions and

vulnerabilities”. In short, following topics were

decided/ and or deliberated upon:

nGlobal imbalances

Explore “indicative guidelines” to measure large

current account imbalances, in consultation with the

IMF so that rifts between export-rich countries and

debt ridden consumer nations are minimized.

nCurrencies

Steps to maintain market-determined exchange

rates to avoid competitive devaluations by taking

“carefully designed macro-prudential measures”

code for capital controls.

nFinancial regulations

Agreed to raise the quantity and quality of bank

capital and endorsed to tighten supervision on

market and reduce reliance on credit rating agencies.

nTrade

Pledged not to pursue protectionist policies and

to work towards concluding trade liberalization talks

as per Doha deliberations.

nIMF

Endorsed a package of reforms for the

International Monetary Fund (IMF) to reflect a shift in

balance of global economic power. This means 6

percent shift of voting shares at the Fund to

developing countries such as China.

Obvious from above is the fact that the world

leaders met; agreed that their intentions were good

and the dialogue should continue.

Nothing of real substance was achieved towards

containment of yuan or for devising a system for

controlling trade imbalance- that export by a country

to another bears some relation to its imports there

from, and steps are taken to allow equal competition

for each country to participate in international

trading by adopting an equitable value of their

currency on a global pattern.

We may have to wait for the Finance Ministers

Conference or the next G-20 meet to get results

beneficial to each nation. May be.

ill gates recently gave a speech at a

high school about 11 things they Bdid not teach him and you will not

learn in school. He talks about how feel-

good, politically correct teaching has

created a generation of kids with no

concept of reality and how this concept has

set them up to face failure in the real world.

Rule 1. Life is not fair, get used to it.

Rule 2. The world doesn't care about your

self esteem. The world will expect you to

accomplish some thing before you feel

good about yourself.

Rule 3. You will not make $60,000 a year

right out of high school. You won't be a vice-

president with a car phone until you earn

both.

Rule 4. If you think your teacher is tough,

wait until you get a boss.

Rule 5. Flipping burgers are not beneath

your dignity. Your grand parents had a

different word for burger flipping: they call it

opportunity.

Rule 6. If you mess up, it's not your parents

fault, so don't whine about your mistakes,

learn from them.

Rule 7. Before you were born, your parents

weren't as boring as they are now. They got

that way from paying your bills, cleaning

your clothes and listening to you talk about

how cool you thought you were. So, before

you save rainforests from the parasites of

your parent's generation, try delousing the

closet in your own room.

Rule 8. Your school may have done away

from winners and losers, but life has not. In

some schools they have abolished failing

grades and they will give you as many times

as you want to give the right answer. This

doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to

anything in real life.

Rule 9. Life is not divided into semesters.

You don't get summers off and very few

employers are interested in helping you find

yourself. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10. Television is not real life. In real life

people, actually have to leave the coffee

shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you

will end up working for one.

Work Ethicsgiven below:

Asura King Bali had become very

powerful and could not be defeated in

normal course. Lord Vishnu knew that the

king never allowed anyone to return empty

handed so he went to the king with a

begging bowl in his incarnation of 'Vaman

Avtar' and asked for land that he could cover

“in his three dwarfish steps.” Once the

favor was granted, Vaman transformed

himself into Trivikarma. King Bali thus lost his

present and future possessions.

Shivaji employed guerilla tactics instead

of fighting in the conventional way to carve

out Maratha Kingdom.

Lord Krishna manipulated the downfall

re you stuck with your current

state of affairs for too long? If yes!

There can only be two reasons. AOne, you are satisfied with what you have

and do not want to exert any more – if you

are in this group, you need not read any

further as you do not have the answer to

come out of the rut you are in. The second,

those who want to change their

conventional procedure and systems that

are hindrances in their progress. Just read

on.

Sai R. Vaidyanathan has explained that

you can come out of your mess only when

you adopt some unconventional methods.

He based his suggestions on examples

of a huge army as compared to small army

of Pandvas in the fight of 'Mahabharata' .

Who can forget the announcement of

“Ashwathama Mara Gaya” which broke the

back of 'Korvas' when an elephant in that

name was killed.

One can search around and find many

such examples to confirm that when you do

not get the results in the usual way, you can

get them by unconventional ways.

Remember nothing succeeds like success

and in the end people appraise you from

your success in your field. Do whatever you

may but for goodness sake act only under

the law of the land.

o you know who started the Guinness book and how?

The first Guinness Book of world records was started by

Hughes Beaver in collaboration Noris and Ross Macketar Din the year 1955. This book became so popular that its sale

increased each year and now one has to perform exceptionally to

find a name in this Book. The manner in which Hughes Beaver

conceived of it was as below.

In the year 1951, Hughes Beaver was out hunting when he saw

a flock of strange birds fly over him. Try as he may, he could not correctly place the bird, nor could his

friends who accompanied him. Back home, he went over a number of books to find an answer but in vain.

He finally got the answer in the year 1954 i.e. almost after three years. This made Hughes think that many

people can find themselves in a similar situation and would need a reference book to find their answers. It

was then he met Noris and Ross who worked for a fact finding agency in London to bring out the book next

year.

The book derived its name from “Guinness Breweries” where Hughes was then employed.

HEALTH MATTERS

Here are a few precautions and

preventive measures. They don't cost you

anything except a few minutes of your

time:

nLong hours in an air-conditioned room

can lead to dehydration. You need to

drink at least 8 glasses of water even

when you don't feel thirsty.

nTake a walk around the office every 30

to 40 minutes. This ensures that the

back and the eyes get some rest and

legs some circulation.

nTry to look at some natural greenery

outside the window or at something

blue. Green and blue are soothing

colors and cool the eyes. Also

remember to blink as often as you can.

Some Exercises

nLift your shoulder and keep them up for

10 seconds bring them down for 10

seconds.

nThrow your head back for 10 seconds

and bring it up for 10 seconds.

nBring your head sideways to the count

of 5 and back straight to the count of 5.

nRotate your shoulders 5 times

clockwise, and then anti-clockwise 5

times. Same for the wrists.

nPeriodically straighten your back for 10

seconds and relax for 10 seconds.

Quick Tips

nThe heart is a muscle and it needs

exercise to keep fit so that it can pump

blood efficiently round your body with

each heart beat. Aim for 30 minutes

moderate intensity exercise daily.

nKeep a tab on your blood pressure. The

higher your blood pressure, the shorter

your life expectancy.

nGet your cholesterol levels checked

periodically and consult your doctor

with the results.

Heart Tips forSurvivingWorkplace Life

19January 2011Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinaryopportunity for the light to burn brighter. Bono in Spain

Larry's Bar

A man goes to a doctor and says,

“Doctor, my wife is unfaithful to me. Every

evening, she goes to Larry's bar and picks up

men. In fact, she sleeps with anybody who

asks her! I'm going crazy. What do you think I

should do? “Relax” says the doctor, “take a

deep breath and calm down. Now tell me,

exactly where is Larry's bar?

Last Wish

John was on his death bed and gasped

pitifully, “Give me one last request, dear,” he

said. “Of course, John,” his wife said softly.

“Six months after I die,” he said, “I want you

to marry Bob.”

“But, I thought you hated Bob,” she said.

With his last breath John said “I do!”

Locker Room

A little boy got lost at the YWCA and

found himself in the women's locker room.

When he was spotted, the room burst into

shrieks, with women grabbing towels and

running for cover. The little boy watched in

amazement and then asked: 'What's the

matter? Haven't you ever seen a little boy

before?”

Expectant Father

An expectant father rang the hospital to

see how his wife was progressing. By mistake

he was connected to the cricket ground.

“How's it going?” he asked. “Exceedingly

well,” came the reply. “We have got three

out and we hope to get the rest out.”

Training Tips

A group of junior-level executives were

participating in a management training

program. The seminar leader pounded

home his point about the need to make

decisions and take action on these decisions.

“For instance,” he said, “if you had five frogs

on a log and three of them decided to jump,

how many frogs would you have left on the

log?” The answers from the group were

unanimous: “Two.” “Wrong,” replied the

speaker. “there would still be five because

there is a difference between deciding to

jump and jumping.”
