Attack on Shabnam Hashmi

We condemn in the strongest possible terms the attack on Shabnam Hashmi , Pratap Singh Negi in Rai Barley. They were attacked at about 12.30 on April 28 while she with her associates were distributing leaflets brought out by JAVAB- Janvadi Vichar Andolan Bharat barely 100 metres from the Gadaganj Police Station in side the Rai-Barely constituency.

Shabnam Hashmi and Pratap Singh Negi were attacked by a gang of about 20 hoodlums who snatched all the Javab Leaflets while pushing and abusing Shabnam Hashmi in the most foul and sexist terms.

At the police station Shabnam had to argue with the SHO, telling him that no one can be stopped from exercising their right to free expression and that he had to file an FIR against the attack on her and the threats of rape and sexist abuses. The SHO did not register an FIR and did not give her a copy of her complaint.

We demand that the hoodlums are immediately apprehended and coercive tactics of the BJP not be allowed by the local administration.

The winners from the ten centers will feature in the Inter-State Challenge.

Coca-Cola Cricket Cup’s Vision

BCCI over the past several years has done a tremendous job of enhancing the growth of cricket in India. They have done so by adopting a result oriented approach of organising age group tournaments all over the country through their state associations.

This has helped immensely in carving out talented individuals on a regular basis. Most of these cricketers have moved ahead and have brought laurels for their states and the country.

Seeing the vast potential and growing popularity of this game, Coca-Cola India has a vision of facilitating BCCI in their quest to tap talent. We believe that the future of Indian cricket lies in these young talented budding cricketers. We intend to provide a perfect opportunity and platform to all the youngsters across the country to showcase their talent, skill and equally important, pride and loyalty to their school. It gives BCCI and their affiliated state units a brilliant arena to scout for potential match winners.

We hope that this initiative will serve as an ideal platform to identify and nurture young talented cricketers for them to be able to get noticed by the state associations and BCCI to represent the country on an International level.

Photo Caption: (Top L-R) Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and U.S. President Barack Obama witnessing the singing ceremony between Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, AirAsia Group CEO and  John G Rice Vice, Chairman of General Electric (GE).

KUALA LUMPUR – April 28, 2014 –AirAsia X, the long haul, low fare airline affiliate of the AirAsia Group and GE Aviation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the selection of CF6-80E1 engines to power AirAsia X’s 25 new firm Airbus A330-300 aircraft, with options for an additional three A330 aircraft. These engines will be covered by a multi-year OnPoint^SM solution service agreement for engine maintenance, repair and overhaul. The list price for the engines and the service agreement is valued at more than $1.5 billion (USD) over the life of the agreement.

At the signing ceremony witnessed by Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, U.S. President Barack Obama, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, AirAsia Group CEO said, “To power our new order of 25 additional Airbus A330-300 aircraft, we are pleased to select GE CF6-80E1 engines. GE was selected based on technical reliability and fuel efficiency performance with combined competitive pricing that will ensure AirAsia X maintains our competitive advantage as the world’s lowest unit cost airline operator, with industry-leading reliability performance. We firmly intend to be the undisputed global market leader in the long-haul low-cost carrier space.

Tan Sri’ Tony Fernandes adds, “With this order, GE will become AirAsia X’s second core engine supplier. Our fleet size has reached sufficient scale to support two engine types, with sufficient spare engine coverage, specialist engineers and technicians, and strong on-site service commitment from both engine providers. GE’s long -standing relationship and track record with the AirAsia Group, gave us confidence to make this selection.”

“GE is proud of its long association with AirAsia Group and are honored to be selected to power AirAsia X’s A330 fleet for this large and important order,” said Kevin McAllister, Vice President and General Manager of Global Sales & Marketing for GE Aviation. “AirAsia Group is a leading low-cost carrier with domestic, regional and international operations, and CF6 engines will support its competitive international cost position.”

GE’s CF6 engines have been among the most utilized and reliable in the industry. Powering more than 10 models of wide-body aircraft, the engine family has established an unparalleled record of reliability for more than 40 years with more than 395 million flight-hours in service with more than 200 operators worldwide.

GE Aviation has continuously reinvested in the CF6 platform and is refining component efficiencies across the CF6-80E1 engine to provide improvements in fuel efficiency for Airbus’s enhanced A330 aircraft. More than 560 CF6-80E1 engines have been delivered for the Airbus A330 aircraft.

OnPoint solutions are customized service agreements tailored to the operational and financial needs of each customer for any size fleet. These agreements are designed to help lower the customers’ cost of ownership and maximize the use of their assets. Backed by GE’s global support network, OnPoint services may include overhaul, on wing support, new and used-serviceable parts, component repair, technology upgrades, engine leasing, integrated systems support and diagnostics and integrated systems.

GE Aviation, an operating unit of GE (NYSE: GE), is a world-leading provider of jet and turboprop engines, components and integrated systems for commercial, military, business and general aviation aircraft. GE Aviation has a global service network to support these offerings.

AirAsia X is the low-cost, long-haul affiliate carrier of the AirAsia Group that currently flies to destinations in China, Australia, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Middle East. The airline currently serves 19 destinations across Asia (Nagoya, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Busan, Taipei, Beijing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Shanghai, Xian, Colombo and Kathmandu), Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Gold Coast) and the Middle East (Jeddah). AirAsia X currently operates a fleet of 16 Airbus A330-300s, each with a seat configuration of 12 Premium Flatbeds and 365 Economy seats. The airline has carried over 12 million guests since it commenced long-haul in 2007.

India to invite bids for another 1,500 MW of solar PV

28042014

INDIA SOLAR WEEKLY MARKET UPDATE April 28th, 2014	India to invite bids for another 1,500 MW of solar PV under the NSM this year BRIDGE TO INDIA understands that Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) plans to allocate 1,500 MW of solar PV projects under the National Solar Mission (NSM) towards the end of this year. These new projects are likely to follow the bundling mechanism, similar to phase one of the NSM and unlike the Viability Gap Funding (VGF) mechanism used for the recent 750 MW of NSM projects, where Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have already been signed for 700 MW and another 50 MW PPAs should be signed soon with the waitlisted bidders.  Apart from that, another 1,000 MW allocation is planned under the VGF mechanism for the next year. As per the guidelines for phase two of the NSM (2012-2017), 2,320 MW of PV and 1,080 MW of CSP projects were to be allocated through the central agencies by March 2015 (refer). The remaining 5,600 MW of capacity out of the 9,000 MW target was expected to come up through state government initiatives and the Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) mechanism. However, with only 150 MW of CSP projects implemented to date, PV allocations for central agencies would need to go up to 3,250 MW. Now, with 750 MW of allocations already under way, 1,500 MW of new allocation by March 2015 and another 1,000 MW by March 2016, the capacity allocation plan by central agencies under the NSM will be back on track for phase two of the NSM. Apart from these initiatives, there are plans to develop one 1,000 MW power project by public sector entities, four power projects of 500 MW each to be allocated to private developers and another 1,000 MW of projects on defense land. State allocations in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan,	Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are expected to contribute significantly to new installed capacity in 2014-15. With 2.5 GW already installed, if the states are able to continue providing new capacity, the target of 10 GW by 2017 for the NSM will most likely be achieved with ease despite failure of the RPO mechanism. Further, BRIDGE TO INDIA understands that the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has suggested necessary changes in the Electricity Act to ensure enforcement of RPOs.  MNRE and CERC have revived their efforts to boost the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) market but there is no clarity on how and when any new measures will be announced. OUR BLOG Why is India’s renewable sector underachieving? India is an ideal market for renewable energy. The country is immensely energy hungry but has a supply shortage: It has coal, but of low quality. [Read more] Why utilities need to wake up to the distributed solar boom Utilities across the world have so far overlooked or ignored the wave of distributed generation, based on cheap solar power. This, however, represents nothing short of a revolution. [Read more] THROUGH OUR LINKEDIN GROUP ‘INDIA SOLAR FUTURE’ If BJP forms a government in May 2014, will it curb imports of solar equipment?

Data Center Technologies Expert from India to address global meet in the US

28042014

New Delhi April 28, 2014

Data center technologies expert and entrepreneur from India Mr Shekhar Dasgupta has been invited to address a global data center meet in the US this month.

Mr Dasgupta, whose expertise lies in creating next generation data centre technologies, for cloud infrastructures to mitigate risks of Data Centre failures, while helping control capital costs and reduce operating expenses, will make a thought provoking presentation and present a New Management Scorecard with financial and operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for achieving high availability in leaner and greener Data Center.

To be kicked off in Las Vegas April 28, Data Center World, the premier global meet for data center managers, will draw upon the knowledge and experience of global experts to offer real solutions for data centers.

Data Centers are home to mission critical applications and data. They are designed to be fail-safe with multi level back up in power, computers, networks and air-conditioning virtually turning them to be energy guzzlers, consuming over 2 per cent of utility-produced electrical power in the United States and European Union and growing at over 15 per cent per annum.

Shekhar Dasgupta

While a few measures on Data Center energy efficiency have become de facto standards, Mr. Dasgupta will be proposing a wider range of KPIs that mirror the daily objectives of Data Center Managers, IT and Infrastructure and Operations staff.

Just as Balanced Scorecards had a profound impact on driving overall economic value of enterprises that use them, Mr. Dasgupta suggests that Data Centers can be better aligned with business goals through Scorecard-based Data Center Infrastructure Management software. It is now well established that absence or lack of proper measurements are the main causes of wasted capital expenditure, higher operating costs, increased space use and even Data Center outages.

The conference that will feature over 65 sessions, led by well known industry leaders will share best practices and practical solutions to some of the biggest data center and facilities management challenges, including Data Center Infrastructure Management, power and cooling, data center builds and design, disaster recovery, and cloud.

According to Bureau of Energy Efficiency-Confederation of Indian Industry study on Data Center Energy Efficiency, the minimum energy saving potential of adopting the latest Data Center technologies is between 25 to 30 per cent. Of the savings, while nearly 60 per cent comes from server-related efficiencies like virtualization, there’s another 7 per cent that may be derived from more efficient cooling technologies, adds Mr Dasgupta.

Rising power consumption compounded with escalating energy prices, makes it important to measure and manage power use through Building Management Systems and DCIM software.

$10,000b PSU On Sale – MILKED Gujarat Want India Meat too

28042014

$10,000b PSU On Sale, MILKED Gujarat Want India Meat too
April27, 2014

Even as Corporate supporting MADY election campaign are hoping their
Rs.10,000 crore ($2b) investment is about to bear fruit on May16, 2014
are already dreaming of Acquiring PSU with $10,000b worth of Natural
Resources that come with it and also through PSU Banks take full
control Indian Banking and Finance System nurtured by post
Nationalization in 1969 by Indira Gandhi with deposits exceeding today
Rs.80,00,000 crores that could exceed Rs.1,60,00,000 crores by 2019.

What is amazing is that CPSU revenue increased 23% when Corporate
India was near stagnant than why do MADY & BJP want to KILL PSUs.
[Total turnover/gross revenue from operation of all CPSEs during
2011-12 stood at Rs.18, 41,927crore compared to Rs.14, 98,018crore in
the previous year showing an increase of 22.96%.]

One Can Well Imagine The Detail and Depth of Grand Conspiracy to
Completely Loot India. There is not even a line of SHARING NATIONAL
WEALTH among 1.25b Indians – just few Adani, Ambani and few more shall
GRAB everything in the scheme of Loot Conspiracy.

We also heard how Even The ‘Reservation Policy Shall Be Scrapped After
Polls’, Corporate Have Contributed Few Jobs, and Wages & Tax, Allowed
No Equity to Retail Investors and BJP to wants throw away anyone not
subscribing to BJP Conspiracy and send all dissenters to Pakistan –
nothing for 99.999% Indians in BJP Program.

I was reading TOI stories of how BJP Mady has taken over Amul
Cooperative Movement and followed by how Mady is blackmailing Meat
Exporters and obviously extorting Non BJP businessmen to surrender
their business to BJP approved Corporate like Adani.

Just then IBN7 was broadcasting $1000b Sovereign Wealth Fund program
to fund FAILED Corporate.

CPSU Gross Contribution to GOI Rs.4,41,406 cr VS Corporate Rs.2,26,051 cr

Central PSU Contibute Twice More To GOI & People of India Than
Corporate as Taxes, Wages, Dividend etc, this doesn’t include Indian
Railways, PSU Banks and State PSUs. [Table 1.10 - CPSEs as National
Champions, 2011-12 – Lists the Market Share- Natural Resources]

AAP Press Release on Varanasi PC

28042014

APRIL 28, 2014 BY SAGARMEDIA

Press Release on Varanasi PC

From: AAP Media Cell <mediacellaap9@gmail.com> Sun, 27 Apr ’14 7:43p

Sunday, April 27

Aam Aadmi Party leaders and former Delhi ministers Rakhi Birla and Girish Soni, along with party MLAs Vishesh Ravi and Ashok Chauhan on Sunday (April 27) asked the BJP to make its stand clear on Baba Ramdev’s recent anti-Dalit and anti-women statement.

At a press conference held at the party’s election office at Varanasi, these leaders strongly condemned Baba Ramdev’s comments and termed these as malicious.

Party leader Birla asked the BJP’s Prime Ministerial nominee and candidate from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, Mr Narendra Modi whether he agreed with the yog guru’s statement and why he was silent on the issue so far.

She said the Baba’s links with the BJP are well known to the world and in recent months top BJP leadership, including Mr Modi have shared stage with him on numerous occasions and have bowed their heads before him.

The AAP leader said both Baba and Modi have described their relationship as that of a guru-chela, and the BJP’s silence so far means it is hesitant to speak anything on the issue.

 The Aam Aadmi Party demands that Narendra Modi should break his silence on such a sensitive issue which has hurt the sentiments of the Dalit community and women of the country.

It is shocking that Baba Ramdev, who fled the Ramlila Ground at midnight wearing women clothes has used such condemnable language about the women and the BJP has chosen to look the other way as if nothing has happened.

Is it not a fact that the BJP has given tickets to some candidates recommended by the Baba and he is actively campaigning for the party ?

The AAP condemns the Baba and his thinking and also outrightly rejects the so-called Gujarat model being propagated across the country by his disciple.

It is shameful that the guru has used derogatory language against women and dailts and his disciple had misused the state machinery to illegally spy on an innocent woman in Gujarat.

Ramdev incident raises the important question of whether – is it the BJP way of treating women and Dalits ?

The AAP demands that before Mr Modi comes to the historic city of Varanasi to seek votes, he should apologise for Baba Ramdev’s remarks and if he does not do so by then, the Dalits and women will oppose hm.

The AAP also makes it clear that in case Baba Ramdev comes to Varanasi, the party will protest against him peacefully and in a democratic manner.

Will BJP respond on Vadra?

28042014

The Aam Aadmi Party challenges the BJP to make clear its stand on whether its Rajasthan state government will initiate a probe into the illegal land deals of Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi.

The BJP is trying to mislead the nation by superficially raking up the Vadra issue during the elections, but is silent on whether anything will be done to find out the extent of the scam in its own ruled state of Rajasthan.

The BJP had chosen to remain mysteriously silent when the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal had exposed Vadra’s land deals in Haryana and Rajasthan in October 2012. Its leadership had then maintained that the BJP does not believe in raising issues about the relatives of leaders of other parties.

The BJP had also desisted from raising the Vadra issue in Parliament, despite some of its MPs saying that they had the relevant papers with them since March 2011.

Though the BJP spokespersons are now trying to raise the Vadra issue for mere political gains, but their Prime Ministerial candidate Mr Narendra Modi’s contradictory statements on the issue clearly point towards a hidden deal between him and the Gandhi family.

Mr Modi’s quickly changing statements on the Vadra issue appear to be clearly linked to the decision of the Congress-led UPA government to bury the probe into the illegal snooping of a young woman architect by the Gujarat government in 2009.

Are the Congress and BJP hoping that the people will accept Mr Modi’s statement on Robert Vadra and the UPA’s decision to let him off in the snoopgate as a mere coincidence ?

No leader of the Congress party is coming forward to answer the question on why the union cabinet’s December 26, 2013, decision to set-up a commission of inquiry to probe the snoopgate, in which Modi’s close aide Amit Shah was directly involved, was brought to an abrupt end.

The ongoing election campaign has proved that the Congress and BJP are hand in glove in suppressing issues related to corruption and misuse of office and the AAP will continue to expose their unholy alliance aimed at misleading the public.

‘Environmentalisms in an Era of Global Political Crisis, 1914-1950’

28042014

Nehru Memorial Museum and Library

cordially invites you to a Seminar

at 3.00 pm on Monday, 28^th April, 2014

in the Seminar Room, First Floor, Library Building

on

‘Environmentalisms in an Era of Global Political Crisis, 1914-1950’

by

Prof. Daniel Klingensmith,

Maryville College,

USA.

Abstract:

Historians have in the last two decades paid substantial attention to the history of different forms of environmentalism, linking it both to evolving ecological conditions and also to economic and political structures operating globally.  But while they have fruitfully explored the history of environmentalism during the “long nineteenth century” from circa 1789 to 1914, and in some instances during the postwar and post-imperial decades beginning in 1945, they have paid less explicit attention to its development during the intervening period.  The period from the beginning of the first World War to the aftermath of the second deserves more attention in this regard, however:  it constitutes the relevant “pre-history” of the post-independence developmentalist state in India and elsewhere, and of the postwar growth and consumption-oriented societies of North America and Western Europe.  This was a period in which important state-oriented models for managing nature on a large-scale took shape, but also a period in which significant critiques of the impact of modern states, markets and technologies on the natural world were articulated for the first time or substantially refined.  Arguably, this was also the era in which popular bourgeois knowledge of environmental crises, via mass media, first became politically significant, in the West, India and elsewhere. The idea that the natural world was out of balance was connected to the perception of political and civilizational crisis, which was widespread in the era of the world wars, the Great Depression, anti-colonial nationalism in Asia and the Russian revolution.  This paper presents a reconnaissance of the global history of environmentalism during the interrelated crises that began in 1914.  In particular it addresses connections of environmentalisms to political and cultural anxieties, and suggests that one way of conceptualizing thinking about ecological crisis could revolve around how different observers understood the value of the modern state and modern technologies.  It also considers why certain kinds of intervention in the natural world (for example, large dams) were widely embraced in later years, while others (e.g. “overflow irrigation”) came to be considered irrelevant or at best oppositional in post-1945 thinking.  It closes with a consideration of the Indian history of these issues.

Speaker:

Prof. Daniel Klingensmith is Professor of History at Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee, United States.  He received his bachelor’s degree in History from Harvard University, and his Ph.D., also in History, from the University of Chicago in 1998.  He is the author of ‘One Valley and a Thousand’: Dams, Nationalism and Development (Oxford University Press, 2007), a study of the transnational political and cultural contexts informing post-independence India’s emulation of the large dams of the New Deal era in the United States.  His essay “Nature and Politics at the End of the Raj: Environmental Management and Political Legitimacy in Late Colonial India,” is forthcoming in the volume Shifting Ground: Mobility and Animals in India’s Environmental Histories, edited by Mahesh Rangarajan and K. Sivaramakrishnan.
