During such a traumatic hour, IIM as an Institute vows for its stakeholder’s safety and wellness: physical, psychological and emotional. In order to keep our employees motivated and engaged and to cater to the needs of the fraternity, IIM has incorporated ‘work from home’ option for its Head Office employees, with effect from 23rd March 2020. As the President of the Institute, I believe that the true credibility of an organisation lies in how it is able to support its stakeholders [10,000+ Members, Officials & Employees all across], at times of a crisis. This is the time to find out innovative & alternative ways to roll with the punches; by revisiting the ways to operate & function for adjusting with the pandemic. We wish to adapt to the changing environment fast & build up a robust action plan for initiating normal operations at the earliest. In the meantime, would like to draw your attention to the following: 1. Keep in Communication – This is necessary as we are at home safely, but communicating with each other via online resources. I am happy to inform you that the Apex Committee of IIM had a Zoom VC meeting and deliberated important Agenda on 8th April 2020. The option for next IIM meetings including Council meeting via such online platform was deliberated. Every member/Chapter can utilise the same idea at this time to conduct Chapter EC meetings and lectures via Zoom, Skype, etc. This is necessary as the financial year is ended on March 31, 2020 and closing of accounts, general body meeting and election of new committee are to be done once the lockdown is lifted and everything is normal. 2. Connect with your Members - We would urge all stakeholders to adopt simple health [Primarily diet and work-outs), and sanitation measures while staying at home, during the prolonged lockdown to be physically and mentally sound. Chapter EC members may connect /touch base with the respective members, particularly senior and aged members for any help/support, if / when required towards medical support, sanitation, healthcare etc. 3. Make your Proposals ready - As most of our members would be aware, that much ahead of time, this year, IIM has invited applications for NMD & IIM Awards 2020, mandatorily through its Online Awards Portal, www.nmd- iimawards.com, wef last week of February 2020. However, this unprecedented pandemic outbreak has made some shifts in the process; online site is under temporary maintenance by the Service Providers during this period and would be up soon, with a subsequent notice to Members on IIM Website for the date of submission. So keep your proposals ready for submission. 4. AMIIM is coming back - After a halt of two years, in its last meeting in February 2020 at Vidyanagar, on the recommendation of the Competent Authority, the Council has decided resumption of fresh enrolment of AMIIM, wef 1st April 2020 [For December 2020 Session]. The Associate Membership of The Indian Institute of Metals shall now be considered as an Autonomous program managed by the Institute. An announcement with all relevant details & procedures to apply online through the Institutes’ website has been made available in the home page of https://www. iim-india.net. We hereby request all members to disseminate this information suitably, encouraging participation. 5. Organisation & Nation are important - During this one week, [April 15th to 20th], the fight against coronavirus will become more stringent, till 20th April’20, as announced by Govt. of India, however subsequently a conditional withdrawal of the lockdown is permitted in areas where the spread has either been contained or prevented.

  • Current Affairs February-2014
    CURRENT AFFAIRS FEBRUARY-2014 Reserve Bank of India • The RBI Working Paper Warns of Strains in Asset Quality of Banks – A Reserve Bank of India (RBI) working paper ha warned banks of further strains on their asset quality. The working paper titled, Re-emerging Stress in the Asset Quality of Indian Banks: Macro-financial Linkages, stated if the current adverse macro-economic condition persisted, the system level gross Non-Performing Assets (NPA) ratio could rise to 4.4% by end March, 2014. − This ratio could go up to 7.6% under the severe risk scenari. In October, 2013, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) scaled down its projection of world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for 2013 to 2.9%. − In its First Quarter Review of Monetary Policy 2013-14, the RBI has also revised its growth projection for 2013-14 downwards to 5.5%. While the credit growth in the recent period had ebbed, the RBI projected the non-food credit growth to be around 15% in 2013-14. Thus, notwithstanding the fact that credit growth is not going to be significantly robust, muted economic prospects and global headwinds could lead to further deterioration in asset quality. − The position is not alarming at the current juncture, and some comfort is provided by the sound capital adequacy of banks, which ensure that the banking system remains resilient even in the unlikely contingency of having to absorb the entire existing stock of NPAs. • The RBI Working Paper Warns of Strains in Asset Quality of Banks – A Reserve Bank of India (RBI) working paper has warned banks of further strains of their asset quality.

  • Development of Steel Industries of Odisha
    Development of Steel Industries of Odisha When we talk about the growth potential of Iron Ore based Industries in Odisha, our state is considered to be mineral hub of India with 92% chromite,92% Nickel,52% Bauxite,44%Manganese,33% Iron Ore and 24% Coal reserves of the country. The state is the largest producer of stainless steel in the country and has more than 20% of steel making capacity of the country. Major Steel producers like TATA steel, Bhusan Steel Limited (BSL),Bhusan Power and Steel limited(BSPL), Jindal Stainless Steel(JSL)and Jindal Steel and Power Limited have their mother plants in the sate besides ESSAR Steel Limited which has started pellet production in the 1st phase to be followed with setting up an integrated Steel Plant. Surrounded by these large mother plants, a National Investment and Manufacturing Zone(NIMZ) is being developed at Kalinganagar. Spread over 160sq km, the zone is envisaged to become a self contained ecosystem along with residential, commercial and social amenities and will enable the potential investors foer setting up value added downstream facilities. The Union steel ministry is confident that the Kalinganagar industrial complex in Odisha can contribute 20 per cent of the country's targeted 300 million tonne steel capacity by 2030. "Odisha is blessed with all kind of minerals. There is scope for a steel hub here. We are expecting at least 20 per cent of the new capacity to meet the targeted 300 million tonne steel output capacity by 2030-31 will come from Kalinganagar", said Union steel minister Chaudhary Birender Singh, who attended the Steel Consumers Council meeting at Bhubaneswar some times in June 2017.
