Delhi.


Delhi:

I woke up at 6 O'clock in morning and there were mails and comments of  birthday wishes and I was well prepared for the some sort of mild celebration. But there were also the news of 23 year's Nirbhaya's demises were published on the google news who has been brutally gang raped on 16th December 2012.  She has lost her battle for life but she will survives in the heart of citizen of the nation.

It's not the first incident of women molestation in Delhi. There has been more than 630 rapes in this calender year. It means at every  14th hour there has  been one rape.Well these are the only only officially registered figured, the real number may differ. Nirbhaya's death brings out the old issues of  women's respect and safety. The nation of 1.2 billion population where women workship in the form of goddess and the such a kind of molestation is definitely saddening news. Delhi and thereby nation is covered with clouds of grief and anger.  
Today Nirbhaya is not with us but she has ignited the issues of women safety and that indignation has became wild fire and spread across the country. Her fight for life will not go in vain.

Time has come to be proactive for the matters related to women safety. Few of the measures which I read and thought are capital punishment, publishing database of the rapist on public forum, night patrolling by police, setting of fast track courts for speedy justice to the victims, ensuring women safety for the public places like stations, airports, public transport, providing safe environment at the work station, legalization of prostitution and I sincerely believe that there is need to inculcate respect for women at early education level to greatly reduce the women's molestation.

Supreme court in matters of Vishakha v/s state of Rajasthan given guidelines to deals with the cases of Sexual Harassment by constructing internal complain committee headed by women but the enactment of this is in doubt at Indian corporate level. Whereas there are corporation who are paying large attention to women safety by restricting day hours work only and easy pick up and drop arrangements. The Nirbhaya's  death has gained huge international media coverage also, Indians are feeling ashamed of the humiliated episode at there land.

Let us act together to make women safe and secure.
Join the mission!

We can not be empowered unless and until women will not be empowered.


May Nirbhaya's soul  Rest In Peace! Salute to her indomitable spirit!




Faith.

The Inheritance of Loss.



The Inheritance of Loss.



I did have other options to read other novels but the affection towards mountains had persuaded me to read the Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss.

The narrations  are with contradict about wealth and poverty, migrant and resident, love and hate, regret and contentedness and East and West. Kiran Desai has paid equal attention to the contradicts of life.


At the foot of mount Kanchenjunga lives retired judge and his grand daughter Sai along with cook. Judge who want peace and believed that this world is too far away from the justice. He had lots of thing to regret in life. Sai is been alone character who in term in love with her tutor and waiting to get rid from the betrayed shadow of affection. Cooks son, the migrant in USA and the issues of the migrant and his sight towards the home has been well narrated in the novel. The insurgence Gorkhaland movement by GNLF during 1980 to form Indian-Nepali state. The affect of the movement on local folks are greatly pictured by the writer.


Novel help me to learn the multi-dimension of the characters revolving around us. Indeed the it's a majestic and delicious novel and will fulfill the promise of great reading with joy and companionship.

Araku Valley(Eastern Ghats).


Hi ,


I have just visited another valley in eastern ghats called Araku Valley in Ananthgiri hills. But here we could not ignore the massiveness of Eastern Ghat as compared to Himalaya.

To reach Araku Valley one need to get down at Vishakhapatnam. I have started my journey from Hyderabad on 15th Dec 2012 which 700 km away.

Vishakhaptnam is well connected by Buses, Trains and Air from Hyderabad. A.P.T.D.C. is providing rail cum bus tour package for Araku Valley and Borra Caves which is costing around Rs. 700/- which includes your fares, BF, Lunch Team and the entry tickets.


I have reached Vishakhapatan early in the morning and reported at A.P.T.D.C. counter at railway station. The only one passenger train is running on this route from Vishakhapatam. I have boarded the train at 6:50 am and reached at Araku valley around 11:00 am. The journey from Vishakhapatnam was mesmerizing, train has to cross 52 tunnels to reach Araku. Here we can see the beautiful sites. This travel has taught me if you destined to reach your destination then paths will find your and will force you to travel to me destiny.


One you reach Araku Valley A.P.C.D.C. buses will dropped you at various places.


First place one of them is Padmapuram garden hubs into 26 acres and established in 1942. We can spent silence time in this garden.

Next place where we got drop is Tribal museum. The way in which A.P.T.D.C. has integrated Tribal Development initiative into tourism is really appreciable. The Museum provide a quick glance of Tribal Folk life. Here they have installed the counters for selling the handicraft exclusively made by the tribal folks.

Next destination was at A.P.T.D.C. resort for Dimsa Folk Dance by Jimdara tribe. Women in there traditional costumes dance to prey their village goddess. Here they are exhibiting team spirit with their extraordinary synchronizations during the dance.One has to follow team leader for rest of the dance. Araku is the most fecund land in Eastern Ghat, I wondered as drove by in the train and bus during the visit.

 Araku Valley surrounded by Ananthgiri hills guarded by Nilgiri trees. Araku valley very famous fro Coffee plantation. Approx 9000 hectors were planted with coffee plants. Which is forming another economic activity along with tourism.

To reach Borra caves we have to travel another 40 km from valley. Borra caves were bought to notice by William King George of Geographical Servery of India in 1807. Caves are the famous from variety of Spelothems. Once of the wonderful creation by nature has irregular Stalactites and Stalagmites. Stalactites are the pointed pendant structure hanging from cave ceiling. Stalagmites ground structure counterparts of stalagmites.


Few mythologies were discussed among the tribes about the caves,
cow had felt in the caves and survive by the lingam like structure and people worshiped that structure in honor of Lord Shiva, River Gosthani originate from the caves flow towards Vishakhapatnam and merges into Bay of Bengal Sea. Araku Valley and Borra Caves serve another exciting destination for travelers. The best season to visit valley is from October to January. 


For me year 2012 were great fist where I have visited Valley of Flowers in Himalayas and Araku Valley in Eastern Ghats.

Bhamashah Financial Empowerment Scheme: A ruined efforts.



Bhamashah Financial Empowerment Scheme: A ruined efforts.


It was pretty humid and sunny day when I have started my professional career. The shyness of academics was still in my behavior. Agra (U.P.) seems to be unknowingly known place for me. I have been more exited to work at place which is highly rated tourist destination in INDIA. The responsibility of to look after the entire HRM of North India for the company which is doing the phenomenal work of financial inclusion is commonly known as BASIX was aligned on my shoulders. After completion of Induction I have been asked to join at Jaipur(Rajsthan) for Bhamashah Financial Empowerment Scheme to help and support in the matters pertaining to HRM.   

Today I have gone through the current status of the project to learn the social impact of my work which aimed at to bring back the excluded community to main stream by welcoming them financial world. It was wonderful tool to welcome the women of BPL and APL family member to the world of Finance.
The project has been awarded to IL and FS to get the required data with their bio-metric details to open a Bank account.   The Government will deposit Rs. 1500/- to these accounts and 30000/- health insurance coverage by enrolling the forms from respective beneficiary.

IL and FS has subcontracted the task of getting enrollment form filled with bio-metric details to BASIX group for 33 district of Rajasthan (The enrollment phase). The 44 lakhs of a population of the Rajasthan State has to be enrolled within limited period of time.  I along with team have mobilized the human resources from different part of the nation to complete the task. A lot of NGO’s has helped us by providing the manpower for the project. The resources have work effortlessly to get the task done.

After 4 years, the status of the project is in freeze mode. As Govt has change, present govt. stopped the scheme and sent it for the review to sub cabinet committee. A rupee 161 crores has been parked with PNB in the name of financial weaker women of Rajasthan state and PNB seems to be awarded with this public money as its advanced portfolio. As scheme is under review banks is not allowing women account holder (who has been issued the account). The entire project has become political controversy.

The scheme is in doldrums.  The fate the project is depends upon the recommendation/report of the committee.  Till date, it is loss of 40 lakhs customers to the bank, the substantial portion of the population is remained excluded from financial word, the wastage of public money while implementing the project and keeping it on hold,  it has direct or indirect impact on growth and development of the state, the States agenda of empowering women remain falsified,  now a day’s FM is talking a lot about  electronic cash transfer scheme it might be possible that if implemented these account will be directly utilized for immediate execution of the electronic cash transfer scheme. And most importantly there is loss of opportunity for the all the stakeholder of the Bhamashah Scheme. The only visible solution seems to be the immediate intervention of judicial mechanism to instruct the State govt. to unfreeze the project. Otherwise it may take too longer to start the work with Govt. efforts.    

Personally it becomes weird thing especially for one who has worked on this project and their sleepless and restless efforts are becoming ruined.

Ultimately social impact of your job counts a lot.

Bluetooth Marketing – New Way in Mobile Marketing.
Bluetooth marketing is a very new form of mobile marketing. It is a location-based mobile marketing campaign, which can be used for example at trade fairs, in shopping malls, movie theaters or at events and activities.


Mobile marketing is usually associated with significant costs on the part of potential Customized, when no Bluetooth marketing costs incurred by the recipient. While sending a simple SMS or MMS as well, your standard network charges, such as when downloading via GPRS or UMTS or when opening a browser service. At this alleged vulnerability of mobile marketing, uses Bluetooth to marketing, because this channel allows the transmission of data at no cost on the part of the consumer.

For this purpose, in highly frequented places local Bluetooth networks are developed. These are special radio systems that are built with a limited range of about 30 meters a network. Now enters users into the Bluetooth environment, he receives a message from the system, with the request for authorization.

Only after this has occurred, the data provided to be transferred to the mobile phone of the customer. It can in this way, for example, wallpaper, pictures, videos, contacts or applications to be transmitted without resulting cost to the user. A content management system provides here that the content will be prepared for the individual terminal of the user.
