Modi Leads india now-Sept-2014

Post Election India (May-Sept.)-2014

Anti-incumbency got them out

such as lack of oratorial

skills of Rahul.

India’s growth consisted of

openness and it withstood external turbulence. India was not

buffeted by East Asian crisis of 1997. Its economic

performance showed further improvement recently. Starting

in 2005, the GNP of India grew at over 9.5 % per annum for 3

years. Our growth rate slowed down after the global financial

crisis in 2008 but India was even then among the three or

four fast growing nation nations in the world.

OVERALL DEVELOPMENT

India did make significant progress in several spheres:

agriculture, irrigation, atomic energy, space, information and

communication technologies and science education.

To ensure ecological security, provide safe drinking water,

better health, employment, peace and equity, India has to

utilized science and technology effectively. There is a need

for a strategy for the future, using the combined strength of

science and socio-economic sectors. Rahul did not impress.

PLAYER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY

That India will be a

significant player in this Global Century is assured, but how

competitive it will be on a sustained basis over the course of

the century should be realized. It is hard to become a

significant competitor in any sphere of human activity. One

has first to get recognized as a major player in an arena. Also,

it is important to maintain and sustain a competitive position

even though it can be just as hard as, if not more difficult than,

developing one.

Player in this Global Century

You can compete globally on

three dimensions: efficiency, local responsiveness, or

innovation. Let us see a leader who showed an example. JRD

Tata did so much to lay the foundations of business enterprise

during the 20th century. India became a economic

superpower in the 21st century. With emphasis in India on

buying swadeshi, Tata’s NELCO subsidiary led a

transformation in which India went from importing nearly all

the approximately 2 million radios sold in the country annually,

to manufacture nearly all of them itself.

compete globally

During the same decade,

the Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company, or TELCO,

created its own foundry and forging shop to construct truck

parts that had previously been imported, dramatically

increasing production and sales not only of trucks but also of

tractors, excavators, shovels, cranes, and back hoes, thus

spurring the growth of entire sectors of the Indian domestic

economy. In 1944, JRD Tata and the other Indian business

leaders had formulated the Bombay Plan to chart the course

of India’s economic development.

A leader who showed an example

In the 1960s, with India’s

role in international politics and the world economy

increasing, JRD Tata looked abroad for opportunities and

formed Tata International AG and Tata Exports to cultivate

international markets for Tata products and services. JRD

also recognized the power of computers and information

technology and opened Tata Consultancy Services, or TCS,

In 1968. Tata’s TELCO opened an Engineering and

Development Research Unit that, five years after its

establishment in 1966, evolved into Tata Motors.

A leader who showed an example

The emergence of a

new class of entrepreneurs— like Reliance, Infosys

and Wipro, that took advantage of the liberalization of

the Indian economy to challenge established Indian

companies from within—at the same time that these

established companies were facing the competitive

threat from multinational companies entering from

abroad, created a dynamic competitive ecology that

was enormously healthy for the Indian economy.

Narendra Modi

A new Leader of India-2014-2019

Narendra Dāmodardās Modī

was born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, in Mehsana

district of Gujarat. After his schooling in Vadnagar he did his

masters degree in Political Science from Gujarat University.

Modi started as a Tea-Seller on Ahmedabad Bus Station.

Modi was among the first to possess a digital diary. He is

always well groomed. He goes for made-to-order Modi kurta

with hand-tailored button holes. He is at home in Western

attire too. He has a weakness for designer fountain pens -

Montblanc.

MODI NAAMA

Modi stood accused of failing

to stop communal riots in Gujarat in 2002, when he was Chief

Minister of that state.

On February 27, 2002, a deadly train fire in the city of Godhra

killed 58 Hindu pilgrims. In the weeks that followed, Hindu

mobs targeted and killed an estimated 2,000 people, mostly

Muslims, and left over 100,000 homeless. Women were raped;

infants and children were killed. Even prominent Muslims like

former Congress Party Member of Parliament (“MP”) Ehsan

Jafri were not spared.

GODHRA TRAGEDY 2002

no evidence to prosecute

A special investigation

team (SIT) appointed by the Supreme Court to

investigate the role of Modi and others in the

violence said in a 541-page report in 2012 it could

find no evidence to prosecute the chief minister.

Most importantly, it cleared Modi of the most damaging

allegation: that he had told senior officials to allow Hindu

mobs to vent their anger.

In the aftermath of the riots,

Modi went to work improving his reputation.

“What he has done is change the narrative and go for

(economic) development,” says Swapan Dasgupta, a New

Delhi-based political analyst who has advised BJP leaders on

media strategy.

“From 2002 onwards he does not mention the riots any

more. It does not come into his speeches. This focus on

development was backed up by a very powerful publicity

machine.”

his party won a landslide victory in parliamentary elections.

By electing the BJP by outright majority—282 of 543

seats—voters voiced their discontent at chronic corruption

scandals, high inflation and poor economic growth.

Sept.: Srinagar: As waters

receded in Jammu and Kashmir, tempers flared

among many of those affected by the state's worst

floods in 100 years. They have accused the state

government of not doing enough to rescue the

hundreds of people stranded in floodwaters six days

after the floods.

Natural disaster strikes J & K

Jammu and Kashmir:

Economic loss due to floods above 5,000 crore

Floods in Jammu and Kashmir have caused an initial

estimated loss of Rs 5,400-5,700 crore to the state's

economy, according to the Associated Chambers of

Commerce and Industry of India. Railways, power and

communication in the hilly terrains have suffered about Rs

2,700-3,000 crore of losses, while losses to hotels, trade,

agriculture and roads is estimated to be Rs 2,630 crore. The

tourism industry will be the worst hit.

Many people are developing a familiarity with roofs they

never thought they’d have. Javaid Ahmad of Jawahar Nagar,

is among them. He, his wife and two children spent two days

on theirs, before being rescued. “Water was entering from our

second floor,” he said. “We somehow managed to find a way

through to our rooftop and stayed there till the time we were

taken out by locals. I could only see the rooftops of other

houses. Everything else was under the water.”

Jammu and Kashmir:

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah

has claimed that before the heavy rains began late last

week, warnings were announced at mosques and from police

vehicles, urging residents to move to higher ground. "I am

sorry to say that they willingly ignored these warnings ...

choosing to stay where they are," Mr. Abdullah said.

Nearly 80,000 people have been rescued in a non-stop,

tireless operation by the armed forces and the National

Disaster Response Force or the NDRF.

Climate Change: Heavy Rain

The situation

in the Jammu region has stabilised and the focus is now on

providing relief material on the ground, officials said.

Nearly 68 relief camps have been set up in the Jammu sector.

The skies have cleared and water levels have come down

although road connectivity in several parts is in need of

restoration.

A pet plan of PM Modi's is

building 100 smart cities, as the country is in the middle of a

massive wave of urbanisation.

Modi started in Gujarat with the Greenfield Gujarat

International Finance Tec-city (GIFT). This venture is now

proceeding rapidly, as it has been allotted 11 million sq. ft. for

construction. As he moved to the Centre, Modi has started

work on implementing the idea all across India. It is among

his few plans that may move smoothly ahead.

SMART CITY

The concept of a

smart city was driven around the world initially by

IBM and Cisco. It has caught the imagination of

many now. Lavasa, near Pune, was an early

example. A 4,500-acre township called Wave City

near Delhi was another. These were followed by

seven cities along the DMIC, which are now under

development. Tumkur — along the Bangalore-

Chennai corridor is also considered.

SMART CITY

Acche Din may be here for businessmen but Indian consumers are still waiting !

A stubborn inflation rate,

means that ordinary Indians are still being cautious. Investors

might be happy with a huge amount of foreign funds flowing

into India over the last few months, but their glee has not been

infectious. Consumers remain reluctant to part with cash.

The markets don’t always reflect the economy or vice versa.

The latest industrial production numbers suggest the initial

cheer that followed Modi’s victory has washed out of the

system.

White House makes

the announcement of a full-fledged war: The U S

govt. in Sept.-2014, may not have officially declared

war on Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.

However, the White House released a statement

declaring its intent. "The United States is at war with

IS in the same way that we are at war with al-Qaida

and its affiliates all around the globe," said White

House spokesman Josh Earnest.
