The Expo was organised to showcase the huge potential of Bihar, which is endowed with rich natural resources and huge human resources. Chairman, organizing committee, Destination Bihar-Expo 2011, K P Jhunjhunwala said that Bihar’s rich natural and human resources could be utilized to increase its present GDP growth rate of 14.5%.
Jhunjhunwala, co-chairman of the organizing committee Nisheeth Jaiswal and BIA president K P S Kesri said that the quality of life of Biharis would improve only when a network of industries is created to get maximum gain from agriculture and other avenues.
Jhunjhunwala said that a number of industrialists and entrepreneurs from all over the country were submitting proposals for setting up ventures in the state. Local entrepreneurs have already invested Rs3,600 crore in the state, he said and added that the Destination Bihar-Expo 2011 is being organized to attract entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to deliberate how to synergize all efforts to take Bihar into the development mainstream, said Kesri.
For the Expo, the BIA has given priority to agriculture, agro-based industry, energy, tourism and hospitality management for both industrial and social growth.
Destination Bihar Expo-2011 on Tuesday stressed on the need for confidence-building measures, so that entrepreneurs could set up micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to make full use of the new Bihar Industrial Incentive Policy and Food Processing Policy.
It was felt that the negative attitude of different government departments in giving purchase preference to local industries discouraged the entrepreneurs.
The managing director of Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA), Anshuli Arya, said that the situation was ripe for accelerating industrial growth, particularly in food processing sector, in Bihar, which is endowed with fertile soil, water and suitable climate. However, scarce land and power problem were the hindering factors, which were being looked into.
Director, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Institute ( MSMEDI), D K Singh, said that the state government’s departments were imposing a certain turnover eligibility criteria for taking part in the tender process. This excluded local small industries, having lesser turnover, from the tender process. The government departments had given a go by to the State Purchase Preference Policy for giving seven per cent price preference in purchase of products of the local enterprises. This resulted into a stunted growth of industries in Bihar, he said.
Singh pointed out that the Union government gives 15% price preference for purchasing MSMEs’ products.
A senior manager of National Research Development Corporation (NRDC), Govind Sharma, told the entrepreneurs present that the NRDC scientists were doing scientific research for providing innovative technologies for application in industries. NRDC also provided finance for transfer of technology to the industries. Its technology innovations are on display at the NRDC’s stall at the Expo.
BIA secretary general Sanjay Goenka claimed that the implementation of industrial policy in the state was slow as there was delay in providing subsidy to the industries.
The Expo is being organized jointly by the Bihar Industries Association and New Wave Display Services, Kolkata.

Riddled with corruption, the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) assured the prospective candidates of correcting the anomalies in questions and their answers and published a corrected model answer sheet. But even the so-called corrected model has many discrepancies and candidates, who could not make it to the written test, are blaming the authorities for deliberately doing it for favouring the candidates of their choice.

What a mess, pity! The year gone by is miserable to candidates appeared in BPSC and JPSC, now news against UPSC as well (will update you on that soon!).
Asking at court premise about BPSC court verdict is matter of laugh here! ”Sarr, yeh BPSC ke Result Ka kuchh nahi ho sakta!’ Says ‘TAYIID’ Mr. Ram with a chin to eyes smile.
The Patna High Court on Thursday(01/12/2011) reserved its order after hearing pleas of both the sides in a case related to the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). Some candidates have filed a petition in the HC requesting it to look into the discrepancies in the question papers of the 53rd-55th combined Common Preliminary Competitive Examination held in April this year.

I do not understand, was it a curse on BPSC and JPSC aspirants who appeared for 2011 public service commission exams in these states. It’s really ruthless and unfair story to tell. Let me start exploring Havoc at JPSC 2011 PT ( 4th) exam first:
What is the age for voting in India? Ask this question to anyone and pat comes the reply 18 years. But this may be a wrong answer, if Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) experts are to be believed.
The age for voting in India is 28 years. No joke, this is the answer for question no 99 in set C of the political science paper related with voting age displayed on the website of the JPSC.
Not only this, if the JPSC experts are to be believed, the World Trade Organization came into being in 1990 (answer to question no. 74 in the same set) and not in 1995 as is commonly known.

Metros are basically regarded as Tier I cities, relatively smaller cities are regarded as Tier II cities whereas smaller cities are considered as Tier III ones. Here is the explanation why they are considered so:-
As Indian economy experiences the boom in all sectors triggered by its economic and investment policies, the metros or the Tier I cities are the ones that are inundated with burgeoning investments in the industrial and the services sector. Along with large-scale investments has boomed the realty sector creating congestion, arising out of an increasing demand for residential and commercial properties. This congestion in realty structures has forced the respective governments and many investment companies to seek out for alternative smaller cities leading to a demand for Tier II and III cities.

Political will for the capitalisation and operation of a climate adaptation fund would represent positive progress!
The UN climate change talks in Durban Sunday arrived at a four-pronged Durban Package to save the planet by controlling emission of greenhouse gases.
The main outcome of the Durban talks:
* To extend the Kyoto Protocol: To extend for another five years the Kyoto Protocol – the only regime to combat climate change, that is due to end 2012. The parties to Kyoto are divided into two camps – Annex 1 countries – rich countries who are supposed to take legally binding emission cuts – and the non-Annex 1 nations — developing countries who have to make voluntary cuts. The second term of the Kyoto protocol will begin Jan 1, 2013.
* Long-Term Cooperation (LCA) actions: These are the long term collective action by countries to fight climate change. At the Durban talks, India scored a major victory when the LCA text accepted India’s demand of equity — or equitable access to sustainable development for developing countries without being hindered by emission cuts. The LCA text recommendations have to be debated before the next meet.
* Green climate fund (GCF): During the 2010 Cancun meet, rich countries agreed to provide $100 billion as GCF to help poor countries take measures to adapt to climate change. Though there is no money, a committee has been set up to start the process of figuring out contributions from countries.
* It has been agreed that the fund will be controlled by the conference of parties (CoP) to the climate convention. It will have 24 members, equally from developed and developing countries.
* Future of the Climate Change Regime: The Durban conference agreed to launch a process to develop a ‘protocol’, or come out with a new treaty under which all the countries will have to take legal emission cuts. It was agreed that the new regime should be completed by 2015, so that this new agreement can be implemented from 2020.
The Highlight:
At Cancún in 2010, developed countries pledged $100bn a year by 2020 towards the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to help developing nations adapt to the effects of climate change – but little of that has yet materialised, with delivery mechanisms still to be decided.
The aviation and shipping sectors could prove central to this funding effort. Analysis commissioned by G20 finance ministers has shown that applying a carbon price to international transport fuels would both reduce emissions and generate billions of pounds for the GCF. Read the rest of this entry »

दिल्ली का इतिहास- सौ वर्ष की दिल्ली
दिल्ली ने देश की राजधानी बने सौ वर्ष पूरे कर लिए। दिल्ली ने इन सौ वर्षो में बहुत कुछ देखा और बहुत कुछ सहा भी। दिल्ली ने जहां भारत को बनते देखा वहीं इसके दामन पर खून के छींटे भी लगते देखा। सौ वर्ष पहले जब जार्ज पंचम का राज्यभिषेक हुआ और कलकत्ता से दिल्ली को राजधानी बनाने का फैसला हुआ तो कोई नहीं जानता था कि दिल्ली उसके बाद हमेशा के लिए राजनीतिक गलियारों की अहम जगह बन जाएगी। इस बनती बिगड़ती की कहानी भी बड़ी अनूठी है। 12 दिसंबर 1911 में दिल्ली को भारत की राजधानी बनाया गया और दिल्ली को मिली अपनी नई पहचान। 1772 से 1911 तक कलकत्ता ही भारत की राजधानी थी। आज के ही दिन जार्ज पंचम का भारत के शासक के तौर पर राज्यभिषेक हुआ और दिल्ली में एक विशाल दरबार लगाया गया। यह दरबार कोई मामूली दरबार नहीं था, बल्कि इस दरबार में अंग्रेजी हुकुमरानों ने अपने को शासक के तौर पर भारत पर काबिज कर दिया था। इस राज्यभिषेक के दौरान हाजिरी लगाने पूरे देश के नवाब और राजा पहुंचे थे। इसका अर्थ यह था कि उन्होंने अंग्रेजी हुकुमत को स्वीकार कर लिया था। वर्षो पहले व्यापार करने भारत में आई ब्रिटिश इंडिया कंपनी ने भारत पर राज करने की शुरूआत सही मायने में यहीं से की थी। राजधानी बनने के बाद दिल्ली की पहचान बदल गई। अब दिल्ली एक अलग मुकाम बना चुकी थी। सियासी गलियारों में अहम हो चुकी थी दिल्ली। मुगल सल्तनत और मिर्जा गालिब की दिल्ली अब बहुत कुछ देखने वाली थी। निजामुद्दीन औलिया पर गाए जाने वाली कव्वालियों और दिल्ली के लाल किले में होने वाले शाही मुशायरों के बीच पश्चिम संस्कृति भी बसने लगी थी। चांदनी चौक के आस पास अंग्रेजी हुकुमरानों के घोड़ों की टापों से दिल्ली का रोज आमना सामना होने लगा था। दिल्ली अब आजादी के मतवालों का गढ़ बनने लगा था। दिल्ली ने आजादी की आखिरी लड़ाई को भी बेहद करीब से देखा। दिल्ली कभी अंग्रेजी सत्ता और कभी भारतीयों को इस पर काबिज होते देखा। दिल्ली पर काबिज आखिरी मुगल बादशाह खुद बड़े आला दर्जे के शायर थे और उनके मुशायरे में अकसर मिर्जा गालिब और जौक जैसे शायर शिरकत करते थे। उस वक्त के लालकिला में इस मुशायरे के बीच वाह वाही की आवाजें खूब जोर शोर से गूजां करती थीं। उस वक्त की श्वेत श्याम दिल्ली आज पूरी तरह से तबदील हो चुकी है। वक्त के साथ दिल्ली की खूबसूरती पर भी चार चांद लग गए हैं। उस वक्त की हवेलियां आज भी दिल्ली में शानौशौकत की मिसाल पेश करती हैं। चंद दरवाजों में रची बसी उस वक्त की दिल्ली आज भारत के सियासी गलियारों में कितनी अहम है इसे बताने की कोई जरूरत यहां समझ नहीं आती। दिल्ली की खूबसूरती और यहां की आबौ हवा पर ही दिल्ली के शायर ने कहा था कौन जाए जौक अब दिल्ली की गलियां छोड़ कर। वहीं मिर्जा गालिब को भी दिल्ली इतनी रास आई कि आखिर तक उन्होंने इस दिल्ली का साथ नहीं छोड़ा। दिल्ली के बल्लीमारान में आज भी मिर्जा गालिब की हवेली मौजूद है जहां के दरो दीवार से उनके कलाम की खुशबू आज भी महसूस की जा सकती है। दिल्ली में आज भी जहां तहां पुरानी हवेलियां देखने को मिल जाती हैं। हालांकि मौजूदा दौर में यह भले ही बदल चुकी हैं लेकिन इन्हें देखकर उस वक्त की खूबसूरत दिल्ली की कल्पना जरूरी की जा सकती है। उस वक्त के वायसराए हाउस को आज का राष्ट्रपति भवन कहा जाता है। जिस वक्त सर लूटियन ने इसका निर्माण करवाया था उस वक्त उनके जहन में दिल्ली की सबसे ऊंची पहाड़ी से पूरी दिल्ली पर नजर डालना हुआ करता था। लेकिन वक्त के साथ इसमें भी बदलाव आ गया और आज यह बाकि दिल्ली के बराबर आ खड़ा हुआ है। दिल्ली का कश्मीरी गेट जहां आज बड़ी आटो पार्टस की मार्किट दिखाई देती है वह वास्तव में अंग्रेजों के लिए बनाई गई खास किस्म का बाजार हुआ करती थी जहां हिंदुस्तानियों का आने पर पाबंदी थी। तब से अब तक दिल्ली की सूरत भले ही बदल गई हो लेकिन नहीं बदली इसकी शान जो आज भी ज्यों की त्यों बनी हुई है।

What a Coincidence! BPSC PT 2011 results are in lurch and JPSC announces revised result.
Amazed!.
Jharkhand Public Service (JPSC) has released the revised result of 4th PT examination. You may see it in tomorrow leading newspapers. Here is a copy of
PDF files selected roll number. It is noteworthy here that the result has come out despite the fact that new revised model answer had several errors in it.
“Due to inaccuracies in the answer key of some of the papers the result of 4th P.T. of
Civil Services Examination 2011 declared on 21.08.2011 is hereby cancelled. As per the
best practice followed by State Public Service Commissions in
India (July 2002 “
General
After Tuesday session court hearings, it look more murkier than ever that what will be next step for the result declaring. However, one thing is clear that just by including 588 students to the declared result will not resolve this conflict.
therefore, I caution you all that BPSC 2011-53rd 55th PT revised results will be announced soon, and your name may go missing if the stance of BPSC changes before Thursday, 1st December 2011.
You may have noticed that there are more than 200 court cases filed at the court and combined hearing is conducted. Even though the applicant lawyer is requesting not to remove 915 successful candidates from the declared list, BPSC is planning not to accept this arbitration as of now. This is based on the background that BPSC does not want this episode to repeat that “just by going to court will solve the problem”.
Moreover, we are waiting for Thursday hearing for BPSC stance on this issue. Read the rest of this entry »

Business leaders today need to achieve success in the face of fierce global competitive pressure and uncertainty. The paradox of our times is that focus on securing economic returns has become the least reliable way of achieving business success. The very drivers of value creation are changing as key links in the value chain, such as natural resources and human talent, become scarce. CIMA and Tomorrow’s Company have started a unique journey to explore the future and purpose of business, researching the development of leadership, future talent, the co-creation of value, business accounting, sustainability and integrated reporting.
Irrespective of the size and nature of an organization, the board should aim for the long-term, sustainable success of the company. They are engaged in approving, monitoring and determining the short and long-term strategy of the business, an effective business model and, most importantly, the risk management strategy of the business. The ability to make quality decisions regarding strategic development, risk assessment and risk mitigation, appropriate resource allocation, and talent management are some of the key skills that leaders of today must demonstrate. A board leading by example, and aligning the short and long-term business strategy to the vision, mission and values of the organization, will successfully influence customers, stakeholders, management and shareholders.
This unprecedented change in the demands of leadership over the last 10 – 15 years has been created by social and technological change, by globalization and a growing concern for the future of our planet. We are now at a turning point in the 21st century. The context in which companies now operate is a triple context – where future and enduring business success will rely on understanding and responding to the links between the economic, social and environmental sub-systems and the opportunities.
Thus, there is an increasing requirement for leaders who will prioritize the stakeholders of their organisations (customers, employees, suppliers, the community, the planet, and the shareholders), rather than personal reward, and personal power and prestige. Read the rest of this entry »

India’s electorate emphasized political stability and governance coherence in the 15th national elections in 2009. Predictions of a fragmented electorate and party system emboldened small groups to envision obtaining power in third and fourth fronts emphasizing regional, caste, ideological, and personality considerations. Instead, the Congress Party gambled successfully on a minimum rather than a maximum1winning coalition.
The Congress initially allied with a few partners in its minimal winning coalition, so as to highlight the Congress Party rather than the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) coalition label. This successful strategic gamble provided more coherence, clearer messages, and a revitalizing leadership. Lacking only 10 seats for a majority, the UPA coalition quickly attracted other parties for a comfortable 2 majority (see Table 1.1 for Lok Sabha results by party, Table 1.2 for coalition formations, and 1.3 for party symbols).Prime Minister Manmohan Singh signifies integrity, continuity, and competence in the 2009 campaign, which contrasts sharply with contestants burdened by criminal charge sheets. More than one-quarter of the elected Members of Parliament (MPs) fall into this category. And that does not include major criminal/political figures failing to win 3seats. Party and Alliance leader Sonia Gandhi, in addition, represents dynastic continuity. It now is a long chain stemming from Motilal Nehru to his son Jawaharlal Nehru, to Jawaharlal’s daughter Indira Gandhi, other son Rajiv Gandhi, and now to Rajiv’s wife Sonia Gandhi.
