    SCENE 01 EXT. MINISTERS HOUSE. MOTILAL NEHRU MARG. NEW DELHI. LATE NIGHT. Mid-shot of the gate of a large compound. A nameplate in a deep version of sarkari blue is embedded in the red-brick wall. It reads ‘A RAJA’ in Hindi and in English. A brass plaque above it reads 2-A Motilal Nehru Marg. Lights flicker over the gate, a car honks. The gates are pulled open and a white Scorpio enters, followed by a white Ambassador. Both vehicles halt, there is a slamming of car doors.

  • Draft Report of the PAC on 2G and 3G Spectrum Allocation
    REPORT PART – I CHAPTER - I BACKGROUND 1.1 In recent times, India has emerged as one of the most dynamic and promising and fastest growing telecom markets in the world. It has third largest overall telecom network and the second largest wireless network in the world. Mobile telephony and thus Spectrum have played a vital role in the stupendous growth of the telecom services in India. The word ‘Spectrum’ basically refers to a collection of various types of electromagnetic radiations of different wavelengths. Radio frequency Spectrum is a limited global natural resource with a high economic value, due to its heavy demand in the telecommunication sector. It is a finite but non-consumable natural resource. But it will be wasted if not used efficiently. In India, the radio frequencies are being used for around forty different types of services like space communication, mobile communication, broadcasting, radio navigation, mobile satellite service, aeronautical satellite services, defence communication etc. 1.2 Some of the important and typical characteristics of the radio frequency Spectrum are as below: (i) Radio frequency spectrum does not respect international geographical boundaries as it is spread over a large terrestrial area. (ii) Use of radio frequency spectrum is susceptible to overlapping interference and requires the application of complex engineering tools to ensure interference free operation of various wireless networks. (iii) Unlike other natural resources, radio frequency spectrum is not consumed upon its usage. It is also liable to be wasted if it is not used optimally and efficiently. Radio frequency spectrum usage is, therefore, to be shared amongst the various radio services and must be used efficiently, optimally and economically in conformity with the provisions of national and international laws.

  • Lobbying (Also Lobby) Is the Act of Attempting to Influence Decisions Made by Officials in the Government, Most Often Legislators Or Members of Regulatory Agencies
    Lobbying (also lobby) is the act of attempting to influence decisions made by officials in the government, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies. Lobbying is done by many different types of people and organized groups, including individuals in theprivate sector, corporations, fellow legislators or government officials, or advocacy groups (interest groups). Lobbyists may be among a legislator's constituencies, meaning a voter or bloc of voters within his or her electoral district, or not; they may engage in lobbying as a business, or not. Professional lobbyists are people whose business is trying to influence legislation on behalf of a group or individual who hires them. Individuals and nonprofit organizations can also lobby as an act of volunteering or as a small part of their normal job (for instance, a CEO meeting with a representative about a project important to his/her company, or an activist meeting with his/her legislator in an unpaid capacity). Governments often define and regulate organized group lobbying that has become influential. The ethics and morality of lobbying are dual-edged. Lobbying is often spoken of with contempt, when the implication is that people with inordinate socioeconomic power are corrupting the law (twisting it away from fairness) in order to serve their own conflict of interest. But another side of lobbying is making sure that others' interests are duly defended against others' corruption, or even simply making sure that minority interests are fairly defended against mere tyranny of the majority. For example, a medical association, or a trade association of health insurance companies, may lobby a legislature in order to counteract the influence of tobacco companies, in which case the lobbying would be viewed by most people as justified (duly defending against others' corruption).

  • CURRENT AFFAIRS---2G SCAM What Is the Spectrum Scam? •2G
    CURRENT AFFAIRS----2G SCAM What is the spectrum scam? •2G licenses issued to private telecom players at throwaway prices in 2008. •CAG: Spectrum scam has cost the government Rs. 1.76 lakh crore. •CAG: Rules and procedures flouted while issuing licenses. The 2G spectrum scam involved allegations of • under pricing of 2G spectrum Telecom Ministry of India, resulting in loss to the exchequer and • illegal manipulation of the spectrum allocation process to favour a few select companies • According to a report submitted by the Comptroller and Auditor General based on money collected from 3G licenses, the loss to the exchequer due to under pricing of 2G spectrum was 176,379 crore (US$39.16 billion). Why 2G Spectrum scam occurs in India? We know that in the democratic country like India, the Prime minister has all power regarding the management of cabinet ministers but recently, the Indian prime minister Sardar Manmohan Singh has been involved in the 2G spectrum scam because has not acted on the removal of the telecom minister A.Raja and the main reason which has come to notice is that, home minster of India has send the letter to the Prime minister of India regarding the 2G license distribution in which he has explained that government of India should be provided with the revenue share as a part of the premium profit in turns of license distribution but Prime minister has not been responded to the letter and after few days this act spread publically and questions are to be putted from Sardar Manmohan Singh about this act, he explained that he was helpless because of the coalition government but I do not think that was correct reason given by the prime minister against this 2G spectrum scam.
