Despite all odds, they did not stop and kept working harder and harder towards their goals. Most assuredly, they conquered them. This reinstates my faith in the inspiring nature of human resolve that can be so resilient and rewarding. The drive and tenacity that a Limca Book of Records record holder possesses is way beyond the ordinary. It is awe-inspiring. It is humbling — it gives hope to the rest of us that a lot that we dismiss as being impossible is in fact achievable. It is this firm belief and sheer determination that sets the achievers apart. Most of us aspire to achieve something, to be someone, and to be remembered. Some of us follow through on our aspirations, but many of us give up. A Limca record holder never gives up, never says never! Inspiring. Isn’t it? This is what Limca Book of Records is all about. It’s about inspiring Indians who do extraordinary things by fighting all odds and setting examples for the world. A Limca Book of Records Certificate is a respectful acknowledgement of the passion and excellence of the people who earn it. It is not easy to get featured there, but our go-getters do the “unthinkable” for the world to take notice and admire. Limca Book of Records People of the Year 2017 have been carefully reviewed and selected by an independent and eminent jury. The master list was so impressive that selecting top 15 contenders was very difficult. It required a lot of deliberation, and exclusion of the rest is because we could feature only these many. Each of those in the master list is winner in their own way. From Haryana’s Olympian Sakshi Malik to Naresh Kumar Sharma — the only shooter to represent India in Paralympics for over five years; from Ajeet Kaur who has indefatigably organised the SAARC Literary Festival for the last 30 years to Michelle Kakade who dared to go where no woman had been before to set the world record as the first woman to complete the Golden Quadrilateral run; from Ira Singhal, the first differently-abled woman to top the Civil Services Examinations to the pioneer of rescue and medical missions, Dr Pradeep Bhardwaj, who has saved thousands of victims of floods, earthquakes and disasters—mighty stalwarts one and all! So, here’s hoping that this edition inspires you too — to push yourself beyond your limits. Going forward, Limca Book of Records will be in the safe hands of Hachette, one of the country’s leading publishers. It is coincidental that the MD of Hachette, Thomas Abraham, began his professional journey with the very first edition of Limca Book of Records. Vijaya Ghose, who has been at the helm of the motivating book since Day 1, will continue tirelessly as the Editor Emeritus. My best wishes to everyone who reads this book. Hope these record holders inspire each one of us to build India into a country of distinction, where we all give our best, and savor each step of our journey towards excellence. I hope that someday this inspiring book of extraordinary feats will have the honour of featuring you here too.

    Coca-Cola La historia negra de las aguas negras Gustavo Castro Soto CIEPAC COCA-COLA LA HISTORIA NEGRA DE LAS AGUAS NEGRAS (Primera Parte) La Compañía Coca-Cola y algunos de sus directivos, desde tiempo atrás, han sido acusados de estar involucrados en evasión de impuestos, fraudes, asesinatos, torturas, amenazas y chantajes a trabajadores, sindicalistas, gobiernos y empresas. Se les ha acusado también de aliarse incluso con ejércitos y grupos paramilitares en Sudamérica. Amnistía Internacional y otras organizaciones de Derechos Humanos a nivel mundial han seguido de cerca estos casos. Desde hace más de 100 años la Compañía Coca-Cola incide sobre la realidad de los campesinos e indígenas cañeros ya sea comprando o dejando de comprar azúcar de caña con el fin de sustituir el dulce por alta fructuosa proveniente del maíz transgénico de los Estados Unidos. Sí, los refrescos de la marca Coca-Cola son transgénicos así como cualquier industria que usa alta fructuosa. ¿Se ha fijado usted en los ingredientes que se especifican en los empaques de los productos industrializados? La Coca-Cola también ha incidido en la vida de los productores de coca; es responsable también de la falta de agua en algunos lugares o de los cambios en las políticas públicas para privatizar el vital líquido o quedarse con los mantos freáticos. Incide en la economía de muchos países; en la industria del vidrio y del plástico y en otros componentes de su fórmula. Además de la economía y la política, ha incidido directamente en trastocar las culturas, desde Chamula en Chiapas hasta Japón o China, pasando por Rusia.

Many companies and organizations have made investigations and reports to enable them to reach this full potential. The purpose of the present research was to study the level of consumer awareness towards corporate responsibility through the role of media channels. The objective was to study the scope of corporate responsibility from the consumer perspective and provide an association between theories and practical solutions. A further aim was to explain historical roots and the development of the concept, as well as the ideologies behind it and study customers’ awareness about the phenomenon; one important factor being the media. The theoretical framework is constructed on a literature review consisting of various books, academic and non-academic articles, and online publications. A qualitative interview with 20 participants was used to elicit the consumer viewpoint. Coca-Cola Company’s sustainability and GRI reports and strategies for the 2011-2013 financial years were analysed. The results indicate that the functional utilization of corporate responsibility requires concrete actions rather than a polished veneer.

  • View the Limca Book of Records Rules and Guidelines
    LIMCA BOOK OF RECORDS RULES AND GUIDELINES PREAMBLE Limca Book of Records ('LBR’) as a record-keeping publication, has been compiling records since 1987 and has seen over 30 editions. It is India's first and longest continuously published book of records. It is, however, a private book, run and managed by a private organization with no public funding whatsoever. The retail price is also subsidized by the owner Coca-Cola India Private Limited (‘CCIPL’). The LBR also accepts absolutely no funding or payment or any other charges from record applicants or record holders for entries or for processing or for publication acceptance. Consequently, it is important to understand that all decisions are taken by applying a set of standards that are specific and stringent, but equally are subjective, and based on what the editors and staff of LBR and Consultants ('LBR Team') think are most suitable for the book. And that decision is solely LBR’s and not answerable to or affected by any other individual, entity or by what another entity may do or accept. I. INTRODUCTION 1. LBR is a catalogue of achievements made by Indians. It catalogues unique milestones and landmarks including, but not limited to, firsts, bests, mosts, inventions, discoveries, and honours and awards received, by Indians at home or abroad in all fields – both human and natural – that can be qualified in superlatives and that conform to the prevailing editorial policy in force during any year. While this is primarily a catalogue of superlatives and achievements, it is also a book of records, and a work of reference, and therefore in the spirit of empirical record-keeping, will record other milestones that may be negative or not celebratory or laudatory but are notable, such as 'longest trial in a court of law' or records pertaining to disasters or crime.
