Milk Drain in India - A Bizarre & Unethical Protest

    
People Draining Milk into Streets


I was truly stunned to see many Indian people
(Political activists) draining 52,000 tons of pure milk into the streets  just to raise voice against India's Malnutrition problem....
Shiv Sena activists drained out thousands of litres of milk in Maharashtra's Satara city against the state government's decision to import processed milk powder. I say what's the problem in doing so...??
If a country's domestic production isn't sufficient, is it not logical to import it from abroad?
Also....the people, raising voice against the government on the malnutrition issue, themselves drained milk inspite of knowing that milk is a very important source to tame hunger in a poor but developing India....
People must understand that with this act, they are themselves contributing to malnutrition. It's a very unethical act on the part of the people.
Even if people have to protest, it can be done in a normal and ethical way....Draining milk is totally unacceptable....

India Unveils Prototype for $35 Touch-Screen Computer

Indian Minister for Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal unveils the "laptop" device in Delhi on 22 July 2010
Mr.Kapil Sibal
Minister of Human & Resource Development
Government of India


The Indian government has unveiled the prototype of an iPad-like touch-screen laptop, with a price tag of $35 (£23), which it hopes to roll out next year.
This tablet is mainly aimed for the students. It supports web browsing, video conferencing and word processing.
It was developed by India's top Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) and Indian Institute of Science(IIS) colleges.
The device has no hard-disk, uses a memory card and works on solar energy.
The device was built by India as an answer to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's(MIT) 100$ tablet PC.
The HRD minister said,"The solutions for tomorrow will emerge from India.”

I truly believe with this statement. India has a lot of potential. It's education sector by far could be considered as a very dynamic and prosperous one. If proper steps are taken to keep the brightest minds in India, the solutions for tomorrow would probably emerge from India itself. India, with this high competency and brilliant citizens can truly reach the horizons........

India's CA Results Declared (2009-2010)

                      


My hearty congratulations to all the students who hgave succesfully passed the Chartered Accountancy Exams for the session 2009-2010.
But I really find it difficult to believe that the results for the Chartered Acountancy(CA) exams conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(ICAI) are so poor in my opinion, most probably the reason being the  very high level of difficulty in its papers.
But just have a look at the link posted.
There are 310 ICAI centrer across India's 28 states and 7 Unin Territories. From among 1,27,643 students appearing for the CA entrance test, only 487 students end up passing the CA final exams. What the hell is going wrong with the CA results. It's becoming narrower and narrower....
In my opinion, the results are so low because passing is based on the economic play of market forces(DEMAND & SUPPLY).....As the demand for CA's in India rises, the ICAI increases the pass rate, resulting in more number of CA's...and if the demand falls, the ICAI decreases the pass rate, resulting in fewer CA's.....
So this leads to the understanding that students appearing for CA exams are purposely failed by the ICAI even if they don't deserve to have failed....
I believe that this matter must be looked over by the higher authorities.
Is such a case prevalent in the UK's ACCA or the USA's CPA? I guess not...Because there, students pass only if they deserve to have passed...which isn't the case in India.
Also, I believe that the Indian CA institute has a goal of becoming the best in the world with the best CA's....because till now, there isn't a proper college for foreign CA courses in India...this means that to keep up with the interest of the ICAI's goal, can be CA's are failed....isn't this illogical.....??
But in India, all this has a different perspective...." THE COMPETITION HAS INCREASED " among the appearing students motivating them to work harder than everyone else.....and excel in the field....so this is generating highly competent and skilled CA's in India...which is the positive side of this topic....but the negative still remains.........
What can be done?
I have no answer for that....


India has a lot of highly skilled and competent people.....!!!!
And I am proud of it...!!
