The economy of India is said to be the eleventh largest economy in the globe by nominal GDP[1] and also the fourth largest by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).[9] Following strong economic reforms from the socialist inspired economy of a post-independence Indian nation, the country began to develop a fast-paced economic growth, as markets opened for international competition and investment, in the 1990s. In the 21st century, India is an emerging economic power with vast human and natural resources, and a huge knowledge base.

Re: “Women are the lowest hanging fruit”

Shaira Ray — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 03:57:56 -0000

Everyone agrees that workplace discrimination has no place in the modern business world. But not everyone understands the laws that protect employees against discrimination. Discrimination at work is a matter of serious concern for organizations all over the world. Women are the one who suffer; it is harder sometimes for women in comparison with man, to find a good job. Gender discrimination at work place is unlawful & punishable offense.

The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Directive Principles.

Empowerment is the one of the key factors in determining the success of development is the status and position of women in the society. We put a special focus on empowering women and girls, because we believe they hold the key to long-lasting social change in communities. Empowering women must be a united approach, a cause that requires continued attention and stewardship by all.

I came to known one job portal http://www.naukriforwomen.com which is totally dedicated to female job aspirants. http://www.naukriforwomen.com aims to help women build their careers, without compromising their other responsibilities. This is a good initiative to reduce the disparity between the sexes in work environments & to bring the women empowerment.

Re: Ramky Enviro taps opportunity in waste management

The irony of the situation in India is there have been no rules, no acts formulated for the Integrated Approach towards SWM. The existing rules are poor rated as the Govt. relies on the ragpickers without educating them or the public for the segregation of waste which is the foremost and essential element of SWM system..they are in a race of adopting any new technology of foreign origin and not trusting the local agencies for the treatment of Solid Waste. Local agencies n corporates are better at managing and applying technology for solid waste disposal, as they are aware of the local waste compositions and the climatic conditions. Both, Govt. and public do not realize the importance of Integrated approach towards waste management as they want to explore new technology, but not fully adopt the western trend right from the beginning i.e. segregation @ source. They jus know how to protest new technologies without letting them work, rather than encouraging them...Corporates which come as a result of PPP suffer political setbacks like Green-Tech Fuel Processing Plant planted by Jaiprakash Associates in Chandigarh, as certain set of politicians wanted to set up a different plant, they r after this plant...even though, the technology adopted by the plant is govt. patent technology proven by TIFAC....it is suffering. Local govt thinks that a single waste treatment unit can handle all the garbage and installation of this plant will make them wash their hands from their responsibility of composting the biodegradable fraction that should hv been co-planted along with this project...In this situation and hardship will the other corporates come ahead and understand their social responsibilities....Should govt. just rely on ragpickers for waste segregation @ source or educate citizens..????????.Is a single technology sufficient for disposal of tonnes of waste..????????Is it that just by installation of waste processing unit, all the problems of the local bodies all the problems are solved...what about the fundamentals of waste managenment i.e. segregation collection....are local bodies taking care of these aspects for jus busy copying forieng culture without teaching basic ethics to its citizens????????? ..questions are many ..it will still take years to make India garbage free nation for a better tomorrow....

Thank you for sharing a company's growth. Here we can understand that a company is not built in one day, but over the years with all difficult and cherishing moments.
I represent a company (Enzen Global Solutions, Bangalore) which is working in Agriculture Demand Side Managemnet to mitigate the ever challenging energy and water. We will be installing high efficiency pumpsets against the existing pump sets and drip irrigation, watershed structures.
At some point of time we can think of joining hands together.

During the initial phase of the pandemic in Delhi, Kiran Walia had been regularly giving the names of all detected cases of swine flu, mostly returning/coming from abroad againgst all human and ethical norms just to gain cheap newspaper coverage. She forcibly got a businessman removed from his home at the time when he was H1N1 negative in June 2009.
The blame to the private sector is totally her creation. Private sector has been always willing to take on the responsibility.

Are there any alternate ways to fill the gap between offered aid for climate change mitigation and that demanded by developing nations, instead of drawing from south's GDP?

While this doesn't directly relate to the topics mentioned above but its impact cannot be denied in the long run on all of the above issues.

Consider this: While India is still grappling with the challenges of leveraging our Demographic dividend, change is inevitable. Ageing a certainty! Ageing has several implications on the economy - Public finances of an ageing population can have it issues esp. public pension & healthcare, as is being already seen in many of the “developed” and “rich” countries. For India that includes the implications of the fisc deficit, additionally. Given averages mask diversity: For starters - the absolute numbers of older people will swell alarmingly, simply because our country is so populous! Some stats:

- UN’s recent biennial population forecasts, the median age for all countries is due to rise from 29 now to 38 by 2050.
- Our neighbour and partner in spurring world economic growth – China, is already ageing rapidly.

So my question is: What is being done so that India is not caught napping (refer Common Wealth Games) when we do come face-to-face with this eventuality of an ageing population. Given that policy initiatives, socio-economic changes will take its time for impact to percolate. Also, what can be done better than what is already being done?
