Undemocratic republic of...

In what is threatening to once again draw the Democratic Republic of Congo’s neighbours openly into the conflict and may undo a six-year regional and international endeavour to alleviate the Great Lakes region, fresh fighting has resumed in the Eastern Congo region between government forces and those of Laurent Nkunda.

As reports last came, rebel forces led by the Congolese Tutsi general – head of the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP), have affirmed an armistice after four days of hostility in the North Kivu province. Congolese soldiers and displaced civilians moved into the province's capital Goma, fleeing advancing rebels.

The fighting has led to the migration of at least 50,000 people, according to UN reports. A crisis sitting of the Security Council late last week has agreed to a non-binding declaration, which condemned the hostility and called upon CNDP to "bring its operations to an end", which they said was creating a "humanitarian catastrophe".....Continue

She saw a future in Saw

Sminu JINDAL... She put the groove back in the Jindal Group, and made ‘infrastructure’ a statement

In an industry that tests the best out of even the toughest of men, Sminu Jindal, Managing Director of Jindal Saw Sminu JINDAL(part of $4 billion Jindal Group) remains an exception. Though she was in her teens when she joined the company as a trainee, her appointment was no less than a blessing for Jindal Saw. She turned around the sick unit into a profitable venture in the very first year of joining by pioneering the production of ultra thin gauge steel that was unheard of in that era.

Not only this, she has been instrumental in bringing about a complete image makeover of the company at every level of operation. Her acute business Acumen has also helped position the company as a competitive global player bagging major international contracts.

Sminu shared with 4Ps B&M, “I get even more stubborn, when the going gets tough & work towards making a way and put all my energies into it.” Work holds top priority in her list and she believes her true calling is to ensure that Jindal remains the largest infrastructure player with enough diversification to make the stakeholders happy. She has also initiated some groundbreaking social cause projects under Svayam provides wings to people with reduced mobility. A lady with a difference is all that we can say about Sminu, but she for sure knows her business.

NFOs fail to deliver big-time

Well, the reasons for this tumble are simple – more than the fresh influx of funds, it is the money moving out from the existing funds to the newly launched The new expansion: NFOs – Non-Flying ObjectsNew Fund Offers (NFO). Over the past one & half years, the market has been witnessing a bull run with Sensex thundering across the 15,000 milestone; but to the agony of investors, more than 60% of the NFOs have had a trailing record against their benchmarks (the table alongside has startling performance results). UTI Contra, Tata Contra, Sundaram BNP, Stanchart Classic, SBI, Reliance, Magnum, take a name & we’ll show you blood on Dalal Street. Gauri Magar of Arihant Capital Market, puts across her views while speaking to B&E, “They are changing their portfolio on a monthly basis, investors are looking for short term gains & hence you have AUMs eroding, NFOs must be looked as a long term investment...” Easier said than done. If one year is not considered long term, then pray, tell us what else can be?

Once again, the Indian Left has proved its hidebound approach

“By allowing the aircraft carrier, India is violating its own policy of not allowing any warship carrying deadly weapons”, said CPIOnce again, the Indian Left has proved its hidebound approach secretary D Raja. His objection was more vehement because the ship belonged to America. But, he was wrong on this count also, as India has in the past, not only allowed more than 10 warships to dock on its shores but has also conducted joint naval exercises with American & European warships in Indian waters.

Moreover, with the crew of the American leviathan spending on an average approximately $1 million per day during the four day stay and an almost similar amount is being earned through repairs & maintenance, the Department of Revenue has no reason to complain. The Left parties need to grow up; stop nitpicking & concentrate on drafting better policy to take the nation ahead.

If Abbas competes with Hamas and its well developed social welfare structure and to avert human catastrophe in Gaza; he needs millions of dollars in US aid

If Abbas is to compete with Hamas and its well developed, social-welfare structure and to avert human catastrophe in Gaza, he needs billions of dollars in aid. Along with a major increase in the US funds, the EU needs to increase its aid dramatically. But if outside money is to flow, Blair must get the Palestinian government to rein in its rampant corruption.


All this requires clear thinking. At the RAND Corporation, for example, a team of researchers has laid out a comprehensive approach to building a successful Palestinian state, covering governance, security, education, health, water, investment – as well as long-term economic relations with Israel and the outside world. RAND’s practical ideas have drawn praise from some Palestinian as well as Israeli leaders, precisely because they are about people more than about politics.

Energetic, fresh and relaxed by definition happen to be abstract nouns

Be it any kind of waste, it is being treated at source so that it’s easier to use further or to dispose it off . Blowing natural air that passes through air filters is used for the building, again saving on electricity The inverted cone!(Wipro)by not using air-conditioners. From rainwater harvesting to treatment of water that can be further used; from using regional or recycled material to providing insulation in roof and walls, the focus was on being resource efficient on every stage.

Though the cost of building goes up (but as a percentage of actual cost of the normal building it hardly touches double digits) the savings are humongous and to prove that Wipro have established the fact. According to an audit conducted by Tata Energy Resources Institute of Wipro’s building, there was a 46% saving in the electricity bill. Besides, Wipro expects to recover the extra cost incurred in 3-4 years.

You've got mail... and the world's got warmer!

Buy y a PC, plant a tree. Sure, it’s a gimmick, but as gimmicks go, it’s a good one. I didn’t see Michael Dell’s “Plant a Tree for Me” announcement at CES this year, but I was told the auditorium was pretty much empty. That’s too bad, because his programme could go a long way towards solving a serious problem. We live in a culture that never powers down, and all that power that we consume eventually takes a heavy toll on the environment we live in.

From now on, whenever you buy a Dell PC, you’ll have the option of donating a few dollars towards planting new trees. And it’s not for nothing. A PC requires electricity, and generating electricity typically involves spewing a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As Al Gore’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth makes pretty clear, this is a big problem, especially for people living at sea level. New trees can off set some of those carbon emissions.

Tribal tribulations

Tribals in Tribal tribulations:- image by IIPM PUblicationIndia have been badly hurt rather than being helped by India’s pursuits of development. The suffering of almost 80 million tribals in India has increased with the increase in large industrial, mining and irrigation projects, leading to massive deforestation and displacement. The fast depletion of forests due to industrialisation and SEZs has affected the life of around 533 tribes.

A look at what Dr. Roy & Co. have on offer

Bollywood magician Karan Johar too is not merely a stake holder but will also give creative inputs for making the channel a success. His contribution will not only come i n the form of hosting a (Koffee?) show for the entertainment channel, but in getting his pet tinsel town charmers to add oodles of oomph to the programming lineup. Who knows, choreographer Farah may anchor a dance show or SRK may yet dole out a game show mightier than KBC. “It’s a competitive place, but we would be No.1 or No.2 in 12-15 months of launch,” boasts, Sameer Nair, CEO, NDTV-Imagine.

Imaginations can run wild, but NDTV is indeed the late entrant in the space, where veterans like Zee and Star rule. Ashish Kaul, Senior VP Corporate Branding, Zee agrees that “having a few big names would not be sufficient for NDTV.” He says, “There are many established entertainment channels and all are revamping themselves to brace competition. Any new entrant will face a huge challenge.” True. It took 6 years for Zee to climb back in the TRPs game and inch closer to Star, which has been reigning the idiot box ever since 2000. What hope does a new entrant (with no prior experience in entertainment) have?

But the NDTV Imagine trio cannot be written off so easily. Already the Ekta magic is not able to keep viewers glued to Star and KBC 3 too was a semi-flop. Viewers are intelligent & clamoring for change. And Dr. Roy’s business acumen, Nair’s creative genius & Johar’s ‘starry’ connections, may deliver just that.
