  • January 18, 2017 Shri Arun Jaitley Union Finance Minister 134, North
    January 18, 2017 Shri Arun Jaitley Union Finance Minister 134, North Block, Ministry of Finance New Delhi – 110001 Subject: Consideration of ICT Duties in Budget Season Dear Honorable Minister: As the 2017 budget season approaches, India’s political leadership will make decisions on import duties that have an important impact on the nation’s business climate. Against this backdrop, our members, representing the most innovative information and communications technology (ICT) companies in the world, would like to highlight the value of a stable and predictable tariff regime. While many countries around the world continue to lower import duties on ICT products, India has in recent years raised duties multiple times on a wide array of ICT items. These actions undermine business confidence on two counts. Not only do higher duties make it more expensive to manufacture and sell products, but the unexpected imposition of new fees creates a destabilizing sense of uncertainty. Companies find it harder to plan for the future when faced with the prospect that operating costs could rise unexpectedly. This makes it difficult to justify expanded investments in facilities and staff. For example, last year’s unexpected increase in ICT customs duties raised input costs by up to 10 percent for many technology suppliers. The fee increase followed an earlier unexpected round of duty hikes on ICT products in 2014, including on Information Technology Agreement products. While we applaud the government’s decision to repeal some of the 2016 levies, many ICT duties remain in effect. In short, our members have major concerns over the future direction of tariffs, when they will change, and how those changes will impact their ability to invest in India.

  • Solid Waste Management and Characteristics in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 11, November-2013 1645 ISSN 2229-5518 Solid Waste Management and Characteristics in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India Rahul Charles Francis, L.P.Singh, Earnest Vinay Prakash Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology and Sciences (Deemed University), Naini, Allahabad 211007,Uttar Pradesh, India Abstract Increasing population levels, rapid economic growth and rise in community living standard accelerates the generation rate of muni-cipal solid waste (MSW) in Indian cities. Improper management of SW (Solid Waste) causes hazards to inhabitants. The objectives of the study areto determine the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of SW along with basic information and to create GIS maps for Lucknow city. The samples have been randomly collected from various locations and analyzed to determine the characteristics of SW. A ques-tionnaire survey has been carried out to collect data from inhabitants including SW quantity, collection frequency, satisfaction level,etc. The Geographic Information System (GIS) has been used to analyze existing maps and data, to digitize the existing sanitary ward boundaries and to enter the data about the wards and disposal sites. The total quantity of MSW has been reported as 800 ton/day, and the average generation rate of MSW has been estimated at 0.65 kg/capita/day. The generated Arc GIS maps give efficient information concerning static and dynamic parameters of the municipal solid waste management (MSWM) problem such as the generation rate of MSW in different wards, collection point locations, MSW transport means and their routes, and the number of disposal sites and their attributes.

E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.

  • Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2012 Global Indian
    PRAVASI BHARATIYA DIVAS 2012 January 7-9, 2012 JAIPUR GLOBAL INDIAN – INCLUSIVE GROWTH MINISTRY OF OVERSEAS INDIAN AFFAIRS CONFEDERATION OF INDIAN INDUSTRY GOVERNMENT OF RAJASTHAN Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2012 January 7-9, 2012 Jaipur Global Indian – Inclusive Growth Theme Paper PREFACE During 2011, the world witnessed amazing revolutions where ordinary people gathered in hundreds of thousands to reiterate their basic freedoms and human rights. In some countries, these mass protests changed decades-old regimes; in others, they wrought significant changes. For the most part, the gatherings were determined to tread the path of peaceful and non-violent resistance, a path whose efficacy was so well demonstrated during India’s freedom struggle. The legacy of Mahatma Gandhi reverberated once more in the world, seventy-three years after his demise. Mahatma Gandhi’s tenets were forged during his long stay in colonial South Africa. It was when he returned to India that the force of his ideas found resonance and succeeded in wresting India’s Independence. Marking the return of Mahatma Gandhi to his home country, the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas celebrates for the tenth consecutive year the remarkable contributions of Overseas Indians to the world. The convention is the annual flagship event of the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry. With the Government of Rajasthan as partner for the forthcoming convention, it is being held in January 2012 at Jaipur. Since 2003, the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas has emerged as the focal platform of engagement between India and its children overseas. The PBD series of conventions reiterates each year the powerful bonds of ‘Indian-ness’ that continue to link Pravasis with their emotional homeland, while recognizing the myriad ways that Overseas Indians have integrated with and enriched their countries of citizenship or residence.

  • Sant Dnyaneshwar - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Sant Dnyaneshwar - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Sant Dnyaneshwar(1275 – 1296) Sant Dnyaneshwar (or Sant Jñaneshwar) (Marathi: ??? ??????????) is also known as Jñanadeva (Marathi: ????????). He was a 13th century Maharashtrian Hindu saint (Sant - a title by which he is often referred), poet, philosopher and yogi of the Nath tradition whose works Bhavartha Deepika (a commentary on Bhagavad Gita, popularly known as "Dnyaneshwari"), and Amrutanubhav are considered to be milestones in Marathi literature. <b>Traditional History</b> According to Nath tradition Sant Dnyaneshwar was the second of the four children of Vitthal Govind Kulkarni and Rukmini, a pious couple from Apegaon near Paithan on the banks of the river Godavari. Vitthal had studied Vedas and set out on pilgrimages at a young age. In Alandi, about 30 km from Pune, Sidhopant, a local Yajurveda brahmin, was very much impressed with him and Vitthal married his daughter Rukmini. After some time, getting permission from Rukmini, Vitthal went to Kashi(Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India), where he met Ramananda Swami and requested to be initiated into sannyas, lying about his marriage. But Ramananda Swami later went to Alandi and, convinced that his student Vitthal was the husband of Rukmini, he returned to Kashi and ordered Vitthal to return home to his family. The couple was excommunicated from the brahmin caste as Vitthal had broken with sannyas, the last of the four ashrams. Four children were born to them; Nivrutti in 1273, Dnyandev (Dnyaneshwar) in 1275, Sopan in 1277 and daughter Mukta in 1279. According to some scholars their birth years are 1268, 1271, 1274, 1277 respectively.
