Shape of Things to Come ?

Ø GOI will come out with a tender for 5 million Aakash Tablets by end of this month

Ø All the tablets will have to be supplied by Dec 2013

Ø The UPA hopes to woo young voters and their families with this scheme before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections

Ø Almost 600,000 tablets need to be delivered EACH month, between April-Dec 2013, by multiple vendors

This tender will possibly witness :

·        Some mergers & acquisitions amongst tablet manufacturers

·        Emergence of “ Consortiums of Manufacturers “

·        Jumping into fray by some leading Indian Smart phone manufacturers ( since they might be better placed to re-configure their smart phone assembly lines to assemble tablets )

·        Setting up of local assembly lines by leading foreign manufacturers ( who have their eyes glued to the expected tender for 400 million smart phones that GOI wants to distribute free to “ Poor “ Aadhar card holders )

This is going to be a “ Mother of all Battles “ which will decide the contours of India’s mobile devices industry

GOING THE PIGS WAY ?

Where PIGS stands for Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain

Is India too going PIGS way to financial bankruptcy ?

It is very likely , if we keep on ,

·       Rejecting financial reforms

·       Living beyond our means

·       Spending more than what we earn

·       Borrowing from the World

·       Printing currency notes

·       Sacrificing tomorrow for today’s sake

  

PIGS countries did precisely this – and for years

Now , they have no one to bail them out !

Germany / France / European Central Bank are dictating them to,

  

·       Eat / drink / wear less ( preferably, live on air )

·       Work longer hours on lesser salaries

·       Give up pension benefits

·       Retire late

·       Sell their infrastructure to China

·       Support their 25 year old jobless children

·       Get their National Budgets pre-approved by ECB

  

If UPA-2 rolls back price rise in diesel / LPG and withdraw FDI in retail , we too , will go the PIGS way !

Sure, UPA-2 government should go , but not for economic reforms

It must be thrown out for Coal-gate , 2G , CWG , endless scams

BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

As reported in DNA [Sept. 04, 2012], here are the findings of a study conducted by,

• Centre for International Higher Education ( Boston )
• The Higher School of Economics  ( Moscow )

on

• Salaries earned by teachers at Asst Professor level

• In Government and Aided Educational Institutions

• On Purchase Price Parity ( PPP ) basis

• In following countries :

• India………………………………………………….. $  3,954

• China…………………………………………………..$     259

• Russia………………………………………………… $     433

• Brazil……………………………………………………$   1,859

• USA……………………………………………………..$   4,950

• Canada………………………………………………. $   5,733

So , Coal-gate not withstanding , India does seem to be shining , at least on Government owned / assisted College-gates !

And since 90 % of “ Private / Non-Aided “ colleges are “ allotted “ to politicians , I wonder how do these figures compare in these “ College-Blocks “ , which continue to collect from each admitted student , millions of rupees by way of “ Donations / Capitation Fees “

Who is worried about cancellation of allotment of “Coal-blocks “ !
