After graduation, he had his initial training in the USSR and had visited Steel Plants in Japan, West Germany and the USA. He had a rich and varied career in steel. Joining the Bhilai Steel Plant in 1956, he rose steadily, occupying the posts of Superintendent (Blast Furnaces), Chief Superintendent (Iron Zone), Assistant General Superintendent (Technical Development) and Deputy General Superintendent (DGS). As DGS, he looked after the plant operations and was instrumental in bringing about a number of technological improvements that resulted in higher productivity. He was associated with the expansion of Bhilai Steel Plant to four million tons. Shri Subramony joined SAIL Headquater as General Manager (Operations) in June 1978, and subsequently he took over as Director (Technical) in January 1981. On April 30, 1982, he assumed charge as Managing Director, Rourkela Steel Plant. He was also Director, MECON; Nagarjuna Steel Ltd, Hyderabad and Director, Fertilizer Association of India, New Delhi. He was conferred the 'Distinguished Alumni Award' by Banaras Hindu University on the November 15, 1983. Shri Subramony introduced several new management techniques, which ultimately resulted in the Rourkela Steel Plant turning the corner. He won the hearts of everyone by his sense of values, enthusiasm and fairness. A high performer, he was the pride of many. A rising star was cut short cruelly by a quirk of fate on January 23, 1986. In memory of his dedicated service, The Institution of Engineers (India) instituted an Annual Memorial Lecture in his name during the National Convention of Metallurgical and Materials Engineers.

As can be seen from Table No.1, China produced 59.4 m.t. .of crude steel in 1988 out of a total world production of 780 m. t . The Indian production was only 13.94 m. tons in comparison. The performance of China is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that both India and China started at almost the same level of production of Crude Steel in 1951 and until the year 1962 the production of two countries were comparable. As a matter of fact, the Indian production of Crude Steel was slightly higher than the Chinese production in the year 1951 6 1952. The Gra ph No.1 shows the Crude Steel production of China arid India between 1951 and 1988. From the graph and Table - 2, it can be seen that the Chinese steel industry made a big spurt in production between 1955 and 1960 but could not maintain this tempo of production and came down from 18.66 m. t. to 6.7 m. t. in 1962 at which time India was producing 5.4 m. t. The big increase in production between 1955 to 1960 was due to construction of hundreds of mini-blast furnaces or so called backyard blast furnaces, but they were not such .a mitigated success as it was made out at that t ime. One of the top ranking Indian expert team which visited China at that time widely acclaimed Chinese experiment and recommended India to emulate their example. The development of Steel Industry .in China remained erratic upto 1968. However, the Chinese built a number of key and local medium and small steel plants between 1968 and 1974 and this resulted in a big increase in steel production but there was again a set back to production and it was only from the year 1977· onwards that the Chinese Steel Ind ustry made a real break-through when the Crude Steel Production increased year to year continuously from 20.5 m. t. in 1976 to 59.4 m.t. in 1988, a three-fold increase. It is a very creditable achievement that in a matter of just 12 years the production increased three-fold in China. In the same period Indian Steel Production increased from 9.7 m. t. in 1976 to 13.9 m.t. in 1988. The Chinese achievement is all the more significant since during this period they only constructed one new plant on greenfield si te at Baoshan near Shanghai, with Japanese. collaboration. The construction of Baoshan Steel works was started in 1978 and is being constructed in three stages. Stage one is in operation and the plant is now producing The Institution of Engineersers (I(India) 1 Delivered during the Sixth National Convention of Metallurgical & Materials Engineers on 'Role of Metals and Materials

  • India: Effects of Tariffs and Nontariff Measures on U.S. Agricultural Exports
    United States International Trade Commission India: Effects of Tariffs and Nontariff Measures on U.S. Agricultural Exports Investigation No. 332-504 USITC Publication 4107 November 2009 U.S. International Trade Commission COMMISSIONERS Shara L. Aranoff, Chairman Daniel R. Pearson, Vice Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun Charlotte R. Lane Irving A. Williamson Dean A. Pinkert Robert A. Rogowsky Director of Operations Karen Laney-Cummings Director, Office of Industries Address all communications to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 U.S. International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov India: Effects of Tariffs and Nontariff Measures on U.S. Agricultural Exports Investigation No. 332-504 Publication 4107 November 2009 This report was prepared principally by the Office of Industries Project Leader George S. Serletis [email protected] Deputy Project Leader Brian Allen [email protected] Laura Bloodgood, Joanna Bonarriva, John Fry, John Giamalva, Katherine Linton, Brendan Lynch, and Marin Weaver Primary Reviewers Alexander Hammer and Deborah McNay Office of Economics Michael Ferrantino, Jesse Mora, Jose Signoret, and Marinos Tsigas Administrative Support Phyllis Boone, Monica Reed, and Wanda Tolson Under the direction of Jonathan R. Coleman, Chief Agriculture and Fisheries Division Abstract This report describes and analyzes policies and other factors that affect U.S. agricultural exports to India. The findings suggest that India’s high agricultural tariffs are a significant impediment to U.S. agricultural exports and that certain Indian nontariff measures (NTMs), including sanitary and phyosanitary measures, substantially limit or effectively prohibit certain U.S. agricultural products. Agriculture is vital to India’s economy, accounting for a substantial share of employment (60 percent) and GDP (17 percent).

  • Lessons from Indian Flagship Programmes: the Disconnect for Evaluation Framework 1
    Lessons from Indian Flagship Programmes: The Disconnect for Evaluation Framework 1 Abstract This paper critically examines the management information system (MIS) in thirteen Indian flagship programmes that are under operation for quite sometimes now. Yet the MIS for these programmes has not reached maturity and as many as four programmes do not have any MIS. Clearly, there is a disconnect among the information gathering, monitoring and measuring impacts in the development programmes. Key Words: Management information system, Flagship programmes, Log-frame hierarchy, Result-based monitoring and evaluation, Implementation framework Introduction The MIS plays a critical role in the implementation of programme in terms of monitoring periodic progress. A well designed MIS facilitates flow of information among various levels and enables setting up of the necessary feedback mechanism for planning and management of a programme, project or policy. A comprehensive MIS is a necessary condition for taking informed and timely decisions including those related to operational, strategic and tactical ones. A well designed management information system (MIS) must be simple and easy to comprehend by the different stakeholders of the programme at national, sub-national and community levels; and it should provide reliable information. The information should be specific, accurate and verifiable; and facilitate timely management decision in terms of frequency and flow of information (i.e. a two-way feedback system in a decentralized framework), and management of database. Information generated by the system should be easy to access, process and use thereby facilitating wider dissemination and it should be amenable to computer software. However, literature on information system in the national level planning and decision making process is scarce and most of the literature is contextualized to organizations that facilitates managers to take various decisions (Gupta, 1996).

INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges 3 4 INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges FOREWORD Travel and tourism, the largest service industry in India was worth US$234bn in 2018 – a 19% year- on-year increase – the third largest foreign exchange earner for India with a 17.9% growth in Foreign Exchange Earnings (in Rupee Terms) in March 2018 over March 2017. According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.
