Sir,

Instinctively, even before I read the front page I flipped to the second page of the Feb 6 issue there it was. Nivedita s chalks vs gravel. Requiem for an old teacher her article last sunday brought tears in my eyes. Thank god Nivedita didnt become a doctor and this Sunday I realise she has not become a Mother Teresa either equally thankful for that. Writing skill is a rare gift of god – the humane in us is even more difficult to find. It is a rarity that Nivedita has everything in her. Perhaps it is her ojha Biren who is doing all the tricks for her from above. Her command of the english lanngauge, narrative power, so vivid-everything flashes infront of you even Lincoln figured ojha Biren. Truly, I have become a fan of Nivedita. I am looking foreward to buying a novel/book authored by Nivedita duly autographed. Please keep enthralling my Sundays.
Thanks.

Yours,
Ksh. Bhabananda,
Keishampat Thokchom Leikai, Imphal.

By: G.S.Oinam
It is cliché, but it is true—things are changing rapidly around us.” Munni Badnam Hogi; Sheila Jawan Hogi”—it is unpredictable, anything can be happen! Peoples forces are whirlwind storm lasted for few minutes. They are innocent, emotional and believe in miracles. In such an environment, you need an understanding of the forces that shape a domain—technique, technology and skills—so that you can anticipate changes. You need to have rigorous data oriented approach for creating scenarios. No one believe that Sheila Dixit will regain her lost glory after common wealth games swan song but now, retained her glory slowly and slowly. Her focus on social sectors to improvise in basic amenities in city like housing for poor priority, regularization of unauthorized colonies, e-governance, RTE Act, bidding for heritage city, Service Level Augments (SLA) for timely delivery of service to put an end to harassment faced by citizens, Project management Institution etc. attracts the common people. Design for future—to be one step ahead of the curve; you need the confidence to extrapolate the curve. That is what a good politician does. That is why powered by intellect and driven by values—face for new world. Their culture is all about enabling people to excel and work with pride—ethics, tenacity, rigour and analytics.

No matter—common people are not politicians- have the courage to say good or bad if somebody do good or bad. We appreciate Shri Pranab Babu, Union Minister of Finance for his new initiatives of “Swabhiman”—special campaign for financial inclusion to bring banking to the masses. It will facilitate opening bank accounts, provide need based credit, remittance facilities and help to promote financial literacy in rural area to cover up the economic distance between rural and urban areas. I was among the foremost advocate of financial literacy in rural and urban poor of India. My definition of financial literacy is simple and it has inclusion of skills development—how to earn one rupee and where to spend it through safety net (modern banking). NABARD’s infrastructural loan for river improvement projects in Manipur is his initiative.

My anger to UPA-II has cooled down gradually after Mr. Rahul Gandhi asked the nation to give a chance to clean the corruption within 10 years. He wants to bring back all the black money stashed away in those secretive Swiss banks. The money belongs to India’s poor. Young Ajay Maken—I called him in 2003, today, an experience politician want to make a different in Youth Affairs and Sports—good governance, PPP model in sports, fund raising from corporate bodies for sports infrastructural in North East are his first priority. But, please do not give everything to Thoubal District of Manipur. Our hill people love sports too!

Corporations are congregation of various stakeholders, namely customers, employees, investors, vendor partners, government and society. Politician can learn many things from corporate governance which are applicable to political organization. Corporate governance is about ethical conduct of business. Ethics are concerned with the code of values and principles that enables a person to choose between right and wrong, and therefore, select from alternative course of action. Further, ethical dilemmas arise from conflicting interests of the parties involved. In this regard, directors/ managers make decisions based on a set of principles influenced by the values, context and culture of the organization. Ethical leadership is good for business as the organization is seen to conduct its business in line with the exceptions of all stakeholders.

The ministry of company affairs, which is finalizing the new companies Bill, has accepted a parliamentary Standing Committee’s recommendation on the issue of 2% net profits of corporate social responsibility programme. It has proposed the companies with a turnover of Rs.1000 crore or net profit of Rs5 crore earn mark 2% of net profit for the preceding three years on corporate social responsibility (CSR).Coal ministry toying with idea of mandating CSR levy on mining in no go areas.
If your heart is pure, your dealing will be beautiful. If your behaviour is gentle and sweet, there will be peace in your home. The domestic atmosphere of peace will result in good law and order in the nation. If there is orderliness in a nation, there will be peace and happiness in the whole world. A few drops of honey dripped down on the floor. Some flies came to lick it up. A lizard jumped over the flies. A cat comes into catch the lizard. Two or three dogs appeared on the scene to make a pray of the cat. There was fight among the dogs. The owners of dogs come in. They were in two groups. One group took the help of police while the other mustered the support of strong armed citizens. This resulted in a riot through the city. The rioters burnt palace. Thus, two drops of honey destroyed a kingdom. An insignificant careless action of big people leads to dangerous consequences.

To my interaction with group of civil service aspirants from Assam, Bihar, UP and Uttara khand, I advice them Mr. Rahul Gandhi must be protect if India want to go forward. We will protect BJP youth leader if any one they projected. You can not call it is dynasty rule- they are enter into politics directly quarter final round from their family background because political relationship, organizational skills and personality development can not take place overnight. Only a few people are successful in politics. They are learned and experience from their family and entered in quarter final directly but it does not mean they will not fight election and will rule forever. There is ups and down in politics.

Congress problems comes from middle level congressmen want to be minister / chief minister. A white paper you send through proper channel from the ground congress worker will take many days, perhaps, the colour of the paper may be change in the process and finally, will put into dust bin because, the colour of the paper is unrecognized when it reached to top. Right hand, left hand, so many hands of middle congressmen in the figure of “Goddess Kali” looking at Aam adami! Aam Admi! Honestly, we are scared. Please come to your original human figure so that common people may worship you. From collation party mistakes to collective responsibly of the mistakes to total responsibility of the congress party in UPA-II- can not be separated. Congress will require focusing distinctively what is the solution? In the UPA-II, I like Mr.PC. He is perfect, clean and result oriented. His coordination with his secretary GK Pillai is outstanding. Mr. Digvijoy Singh is most confident politician- in organization. He saved the CN-IBN penalty shot on 15 Lok Sabha poll analysis.

BJP problems are mostly at the top level– kingless war they want to fight. A good decision can not be made in right time, right place. Enemy is within in every political party of India. But, Nitin Gotkani management in politics is something different–top class management in political organization. He will receive any message send up from field workers within 24 hours but the reply will be within 10 days. Weekend video conference, organizational training programme, interactive programme, leadership programme, Researchers coordination, and recently added- North Eastern India Sampart Cell etc are working actively and faithfully. Mild strike at the centre and ground home work like recruitments of new members, relationship and village level works had achieved the target in Bihar Assembly election.

Original Source: The Imphal Free Press

After nearly two decades of the new push in India’s South East Asia foreign policy, often referred to as “Look East Policy”, which created such a lot of optimism in the region when it was first spelled out, it has hardly left any substantive mark in the Northeast. Nobody can say 18 years is not a long enough time to see at least some visible evidence of its fruits. The question that beggars an answer for those of us in the region at this moment is, what happened? There are of course some developments which can be seen as preparatory measures, as for instance the ongoing construction of the super highway which would connect Silchar to the rest of the super highway network in the country, the upgrading of airports in the northeast, in particular the Guwahati, Imphal and Agartala airports. These airports now even have modern night landing facilities. If the extended deadline is not extended again, Imphal would be in the railway map of the country by 2014. The Silchar highway and the Imphal rail line, it is anybody’s guess, will not culminate either at Silchar or Imphal, but ultimately be extended to link up with the road communication network in South East Asia. Still, even as these preparations are being made, there ought to have been also some parallel activities that ensured the optimism of the policy did not die in the region.

A lot of initiatives however have been happening elsewhere as part of the Look East Policy. Free trade treaties have been signed, multilateral business and policy summits held in various capitals of South East Asian capitals where important decisions were taken etc. Indeed, statistics show a substantial increase in the trade volume between the ASEAN and India during the period. Most of these trades however have been happening by the sea route. The point is, in all these activities, either towards policy framing process or their execution, there has been very little involvement of the Northeast region and its minds. This is unfortunate, although the fault must be shared by the intelligentsia and political executives of the Northeast. They have been simply allowing this very important issue, which are predicted to come to have very important bearing on all of their lives ultimately, to pass by without paying much attention. The guilt must also be equally if not more, borne by our so called enlightened academia. What have they been doing as this very important caravan continues to pass by the region? They should have taken the lead in correcting perspectives.

This is not to say trade under the Look East Policy must be made to happen only through the Northeast. This will not be possible as like water, trade will also normally take the route of least resistance. It must be remembered traders are looking for profit and not philanthropic social service. Hence, the sea route normally would be preferred wherever feasible, as transportation cost as well as effort needed for transportation, is much less by sea. Perhaps this is an indication that the Look East Policy must have two components. One should concentrate on trade alone, and the other to the uplift of the Northeast region through studied opening up of suitable trade potentials. In the framing of the roadmap for the latter, it is vital that the intelligentsia and political establishment of the Northeast are made major partners. As for those in the Northeast who are sceptical about the Look East Policy per se, let them reassess the matter from the standpoint that this opening up is a process which cannot be halted, not only because it is being pushed as a policy, but precisely because it is a natural process as well. Since this is something which would happen with or without our participation, it is better we participate and be in the driver’s seat of the affair so that only the right windows and doors are opened, and those which should not be opened are left unopened. Traditional trade routes had become dislocated and shut on account of another geopolitical shift of political paradigm in the wake of the decolonisation process of a large part of Asia and the drawing of new national boundaries in the mid-Twentieth Century. Natural economic region thereby became fragmented and disjointed. The second proposed component of the Look East Policy designed to have a relevance to the Northeast is precisely about reopening and revitalising these ancient trade routes and economic spheres for the benefit of the region.
