Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Smriti Irani


Is   Smriti   Irani   listening   ?


Apparently , no one ( or very few ) want to get into teaching

This is obvious from the number of faculty vacancies in AICTE approved institutions , as shown below :



Faculty…………………………………… Teachers Required…….  % age Vacancy



  • Applied Arts & Crafts……………………….  2,678…………………….. 56

  • Architecture and Town Planning………11,762…………………….. 51

  • Engineering & Technology……………..5,29,543……………………..28

  • Hotel Mgmt & Catering………………………..3245……………………… 43

  • Management……………………………………….61,610……………………..27

  • MCA…………………………………………………..  26,714……………………. 15

  • Pharmacy…………………………………………….31,421……………………. 20




Why such a poor state of affairs  ?


According to leading Educationists , some of the reasons are  :


  • Poor salaries in teaching profession

  • Stringent Quality Norms

  • Archaic Service Conditions

  • Little scope to earn thru consultancy

  • Very little Industry-Interaction / Internship

  • Poor Research facilities



Even as Smriti starts up a dialogue among the Stakeholders ( Students / Teachers / Educationists / Administrators etc ) ,in respect of formulation of a NEW EDUCATION POLICY ,  she would do well to frame an ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE ( Yes / No : True / False : Multiple Choice ) and upload it on her Web site for people to participate in thousands


What is wrong with our current state of Education and what needs to be done to fix it , can only emerge from such a REFERUNDUM

Dear Chamber President


Why did India receive FDI ( Foreign Direct Investment ) of  $ 29 BILLION  in the month of March 2014  ?

New Features


Nitin,



I refer to our telecon this morning , when you mentioned that Satish has completed one more statistical tabulation in B2B ADMIN page

As far as ADMIN page is concerned , there are , no doubt , quite a few additional tabulations to be compiled

But , as I said , these can wait till traffic ( - especially , REGISTRATIONS ) build up

Nearly 4 weeks since launch and we got only ONE registration - that too , without PAYMENT  !

Therefore , I suggest that you focus on ,


>   Individual Selection Check Boxes for each Company / Chamber etc


> " Broadcast / Promotion " pages  ( sent yesterday )


I believe , these would be of immediate benefit / attraction to the visitors

Pl let me have target dates for both

Double Standards

Supreme Court has ordered some residents of Campa-Cola building in Mumbai to vacate their " illegal " flats
And asked Municipality to demolish these flats

Even though , the residents

> purchased these flats with their hard-earned , white money

> paid registration fees / stamp duty / Municipal taxes / water bills / electricity charges etc for 30 years

What was their crime ?

They were ignorant of the criminal conspiracy between the builder , corrupt municipal officers and quite possibly , equally corrupt Govt officers

And don't rule out the Most Corrupt of them all

The politicians  !

For this " ignorance " , the residents must now sleep on the footpath with their children and elders

Supreme Court says , " Ignorance is no excuse in law "

On the other hand , 53 Ministers of UPA-2 government , are continuing to occupy their Government-allotted bungalows in Delhi , even after ceasing to be Ministers

Many are no more , even MPs  !

Some continue to occupy their bungalows , months and even years after ceasing to be Minister/MP  !

Take Buta Singh , who ceased to be a Minister 18 years ago !

He refuses to vacate , for " Security " reasons  !

Or take Lalu Yadav , who will not vacate , since his wife Rabri Devi is undergoing medical treatment at AIMS  !

Now , make no mistake

They are NOT ignorant of the government rule that says , they must vacate their bungalows within ONE month of leaving office  !

Residents of Campa Cola building - and millions of Mumbai-Citizens , living in thousands of similar " illegal " buildings , are asking :

Why this Double Standard ?

Why cannot Supreme Court take Suo-Moto cognizance of 53 illegal occupants - but
 knowledgeable - Ministers and issue them notice to vacate  ?

Will Venkaiyyah Naidu , show some intestinal fortitude ( aka " Guts " ) and throw them out on 26th June , when their extended Notice Period expires  ?
