I wish you and your family members a very happy and fulfilling New Year! May the year 2016 usher in peace, progress and prosperity for all. We look forward to the new year with an air of optimism, even as we introspect about the year gone by, especially to identify gaps in our overall service standards. Yes, we are aware that at times we are not able to live up to your expectations, but I would like to assure you that we are committed to continually enhancing our service standards. In recent times, we have improved in key operational areas such as punctuality, aircraft availability and service standards.

As always, we stood by the nation in its hour of need by operating a test flight, and relief and rescue flights to a makeshift airport even as Chennai airport was closed due to a severe natural calamity. We waived the refund and cancellation charges to and from Chennai and offered alternative airports to passengers.

On December 2, we launched one of the world’s longest flights, from Delhi to San Francisco. The muchawaited daily flight between Ahmedabad and London took off on December 15. Besides, under our “Connecting India” programme, we also launched direct flights between Durgapur, Kolkata and Delhi, Mumbai-Surat and Mumbai-Gwalior. Such initiatives shall continue for the benefit of our passengers.

A unique initiative has been the introduction of the "Order to Chef" service for our premium-class passengers on select international flights out of Delhi, which allows our passengers to select and order the menu in advance. We also introduced the 90-day advance purchase fares that almost match AC-2T fares on the Rajdhani routes of the railways, which will benefit our esteemed passengers. Besides, we introduced the eSuperSaver Scheme for travel in economy class on select Northeast sectors.

This New Year, the Maharajah is the new star in tinseltown! Bollywood's new-age patriotic offering to be released on the occasion of Republic Day, Airlift, narrates the heroic tale of Air India's historic evacuation mission in the Gulf. A Nikhil Advani production and starring Akshay Kumar, the movie relives the evacuation carried out by Air India of 170,000 Indian refugees during the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. On our cover, catch a glimpse of the film.

This month, our focus doesn't stray from the nation's shores as we set out on a week-long drive through the heart of the Northeast to explore hidden hills and waterfalls, secret cuisines and untrodden paths. We stop for a spot of calm at the Beatles ashram in Rishikesh, which has been thrown open for public viewing recently. Visit for some love, peace and joy.

We are still rejoicing in our new non-stop connect to San Francisco; read about its delectable gourmet spread in this issue! So, here's to a fantastic new year and celebrations with the Maharajah!

Raghu Rai is hailed as the protégé of Henri Cartier-Bresson, who appointed him to Magnum Photos in 1977. Today he is one of India's most acclaimed photographers, and author of a number of photography books.

Bollywood producer, director and screenwriter Nikhil Advani is best known for his blockbuster debut Kal Ho Na Ho. One of the cofounders of Emmay Entertainment, he is also known for films such as D-Day, Katti Batti and Hero.

Riaan Jacob George is one of India's leading luxury travel journalists. He contributes to over a dozen leading publications, runs a fashion blog and spends his free time learning French and Italian.

For Canada-based businessman Thomas Vijayan, photography is a passion stemming from his love for nature. One of his images has been selected for the Top 25 Special Collection of BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest.

harvest homage

Springfit, one the most premium sleep-solution brands in India, has scientifically designed mattresses with hightensile pocketed springs that address sleep problems.

Springfit offers customers an extensive range of quality mattresses, and the wide range of products, the quality, style, grace and attention to detail make it one of the most coveted brands on the market. With the latest and most stylish designs on offer, Springfit offers its products at nominal prices.

The Tamil festival of Pongal is man’s way of showing gratitude to the life-giving Sun Pongal, a harvest festival, is celebrated for four days, which, according to the Gregorian calendar, is normally celebrated from January 13 -16, but also sometimes celebrated from January 14-17. This corresponds to the last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi to the third day of the Tamil month Thai.

Pongal is one of the most important festivals celebrated in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and by the Tamil people worldwide. It corresponds to Makara Sankranthi, the winter harvest festival celebrated in various forms throughout India.

The day marks the start of the Sun’s six-month-long journey northwards, which is known as the Uttarayanam. The festival is mainly celebrated to convey people’s appreciation of the Sun god for providing energy for agriculture. Part of the celebration is the boiling of the first rice of the season consecrated by the Sun - the Surya Manangalyam. In an agrarian civilisation, the harvest plays an important part. The farmer cultivating his land depends on cattle, timely rain and the Sun. Hence once a year, this is his way of paying his respects to the life-giving Sun.

28 I Shubh Yatra I January 2016

Springfit’s new Grande collection is a gateway to a whole new world of luxury and leisure

Its brand-new Grande collection, the first mattress that has NASA-approved pressure relieving and temperaturesensitive memory foam, is engineered with the finestquality pocketed springs and is perfect for a stress-free sleep. Each Grande mattress is endowed with three exclusive technologies that are incorporated in the product to offer comfort, support and temperature regulation. The carbon-manganese alloy springs conform to the shape of the body, helping maintain one’s natural spinal alignment, and distribute body pressure evenly. Additionally, the latex foam, said to be one of the most durable varieties, makes the body sink freely into the mattress and helps improve blood circulation.

The comfort and support offered by the Grande collection is the path to a whole new world of leisure.

The best of classical music This is the month of music festivals. For starters, there’s the Saptak Music Festival, from January 1-13, which is an annual classical music event held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Touted to be the world’s largest festival of Indian classical music, it was inaugurated by Pt Ravi Shankar in 1980 and even today plays host to some of the biggest names in the industry. It includes performances of folk music, classical dance forms and semi-classical forms such as thumri.

Kolkata, West Bengal, on the other hand, sees almost the entire city throng to the Dover Lane Music Conference, held every year at Nazrul Mancha, a large open-air auditorium.

Performances begin late in the evening and go on all night.

With a view to promoting the art of photography, the exhibition showcases 50 of Rai’s best images, which span various subjects and capture the very DNA of India, as a tribute to 50 years of his career. “In the last 50 years, photography has seen a paradigm shift, but the purpose remains the same - to capture an evocative moment that reflects the essence of time, as this is the visual history of tomorrow,” Rai said.

Air India holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest number of people evacuated by a civil airline. Airlift, based on this evacuation, is set to hit theatres on January 22.

I have always wanted to make movies that not only cater to mainstream movie-goers but also send out a social message. Airlift tells a very powerful story, which at first seems unbelievable and then so inspiring that you can’t help but be moved to patriotism. It almost brought tears to my eyes.

In a cynical world, where one often wonders what the country has done for its people, this is a stark reminder of what it has, indeed, done - not for one or ten, but for 170,000 of its own. It’s the story that will shut up every sceptic Indian.

In 1990, when Iraq attacked Kuwait and the government there fell, the residents of the smaller nation were left rudderless and at the mercy of an invading force. Several thousand Indians resided in Kuwait. Some, like the protagonist of our film Ranjit Katiyal, were powerful and financially well established. Overnight, they lost everything they had built - money, social status, an easy life and even the assurance of physical safety. They appealed to the Indian government and it was decided that they would have to cross into Jordan and be airlifted from Amman. Using military transport was a problematic option due to air-space clearances, and this was when Air India was called upon to help. And it agreed. Commercial pilots were asked to fly civilian aircraft into a war zone and evacuate refugees.

When director Raja Menon approached me, he had a smaller film in mind. I urged him to choose a more challenging script - one that seemed almost impossible. Then he narrated the evacuation story. It left me stunned and also ashamed that I, who consider myself to be an aware citizen of the country, was completely in the dark about a record-breaking achievement.

In fact, no one I knew seemed to be aware of this evacuation. It seemed so strange that we were aware of a similar American action in Iran but not the larger Indian one. As a citizen and a filmmaker, I felt it was my duty to tell the story to all. We approached Air India and the national carrier was happy to help.

Tell us about the film and the character you essay in it.

Airlift, based on a true event, is set in 1990 Kuwait, the era of the Gulf War when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. The film has me essaying the role of Ranjit Katyal, a wealthy and powerful Indian businessman who initially considers himself a Kuwaiti rather than an Indian. But after finding himself and the lives of his family in danger, he recognises his Indian-ness and becomes the man who helps evacuate 1,70,000 Indians from Kuwait and bring them back safely to India. Airlift is a victory of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Isn’t it strange it took Indians so long to recognise the feat?

The story was an eye-opener to me, as I’m sure it will be to millions of Indians! I understand that there were several political and commercial compulsions at that time which did not allow this story to come to the fore. It is important to understand that Airlift is a story of Indians and India, but the backdrop and the event itself had significant global impact. It is a story that the young generation of Indian needs to read about in school textbooks.

How does Airlift delve into the human mind?

The movie goes deeper into the characters’ minds than just portraying their fear of losing everything they’ve built and stand for. The film deals with a gamut of human emotions - the fear of being homeless, of losing your life and dear ones. It portrays the triumph of the human spirit.

It’s a fear even I harbour - of losing my loved ones!

So a hot meal is ready when they are! The “Order to Chef” service is currently available for flights from Delhi to London, New York and Chicago.

The meals have been exclusively designed for the San Francisco flight by celebrity chef Rajan Loomba, who has included three of his signature dishes - Murgh Rehanna, Gosht Changeizi and Gulab Ki Kheer - in the menu. Special care has been taken to make the food wholesome, light and, of course, mouth-watering. Breakfast items, to name a few, include spinach tomato frittata, barbecue chicken sausages, sweet pancake with strawberry coulis, Mysore dosa, carrot peas idli, aloo moongphali poha and stuffed green-pea parantha.

If this makes you drool, then sample this main-course menu of spinach cannelloni with tomato basil sauce, fried fish with tartar sauce, aloo methi, dahi kofte, kadhai paneer and yellow dal accompanied by a variety of breads. But no meal is complete

without dessert, so the chef treats you to the heavenly Gulab Ki Kheer, with real rose petals swimming in the kheer. In addition to this, there are also items such as Malabar prawn curry, murgh dil bahar and roast leg of lamb in red wine, and desserts such as passionfruit cheesecake and makhmali phirni. First- and Business-Class passengers can also enjoy premium wines and liquor to pair with their food.

Air India’s amenity kit has gone green, starting with the Delhi-San Francisco flight. Soon to be extended to other international flights, the kit, which comes in a jute pouch for First- and BusinessClass passengers, contains premiumquality herbal products from Khadi. So what is in the kit? A hand sanitiser, moisturising lotion, face wash, lip balm, handmade soap, a dental kit and a comb. There’s also a soothing essential oil included for first-class passengers.

I am reminded of a friend who once remarked how the food served on Air India had an emotional connect! Elaborating, she narrated how, when she went to the US to pursue higher studies, the last thing Indian was the food she enjoyed on the Air India flight.

And two years later, when she was set to return to India, the first thing Indian she craved for was the food on the Air India flight. To her, Air India was home, and the food reminded her of her mother’s cooking. Truly emotional!

India has always believed in moving forward while holding on to its roots. So while one section of society swears by Prada, the other proudly sports the zardozi kurta. But these two design details are just part of India’s rich royal heritage. There are so many more that have faded into oblivion. However, India is seeing a renaissance in its forgotten art forms, thanks to craft expositions such as Royal Fables, which recently put on show collectibles including textiles from Maharani Radhikaraje Gaekwad of Baroda, royal vintage wedding regalia from Rani Sandhyakumari of Khajurgaon and pure-gold-woven saris by Thakurani Darshanakumari of Mandawa.

Patrons have now turned custodians, and members of the aristocracy are taking it upon themselves to bring the royal arts back in the spotlight. Twentyseven-year-old Kunwar Mayank Raj Singh of Dholpur started working with the seven-generation-old family kaarigars, or designers, to revive the dwindling art of Shikaarbagh, a French-inspired saree style depicting hunting sequences using brocades and embroidery on chiffon. “I want to take this art form to as many people as possible as an heirloom piece,” he says.

This is our heritage - we should not let it slip away,” she says.

It is a sacred city located at the confluence of the Mahanadi, Pairi and Sondur rivers As per Hindu mythology, Kumbh Mela can only take place where the gods reside. Rajim, about 45 km from Chhattisgarh's capital Raipur, is believed to be the home of Lord Vishnuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reincarnated form, Rajiv Lochan.

Every year, pilgrims from all over the country reach Rajim for the Kumbh Mela, which begins from Maagh Purnima and lasts till Mahashivratri.

Devotees throng the banks of the Mahanadi river flowing through Rajim for a holy dip.

Rajim, located at the holy confluence of

River Mahanadi is considered as divine and pure as the Ganges, hence a bath in it is said to be sacred. It is also believed that a journey to the Jagannath temple in Odisha is incomplete without a trip to Rajim.

One of the most ancient towns of Chhattisgarh, Rajim has attracted historians, archaeologists and travellers since ages and continues to be a popular destination for pilgrimage. One of the town's major attractions is the month-long Mahashivratri celebrations.

Energy leaders

ONGC's diligent efforts to improve performance and delivery are being rewarded as India takes the first step to energy-efficiency When it comes to energy security, the nation looks where it knows it will never be let down - the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC).

In a decisive step towards the future, the decline in production of crude oil over the past seven years was reversed in the 2014-15 fiscal year. Offshore oil production went up by 4.3 per cent, rising from 15.51 MMT in 2014 to 16.18 MMT in 2015. The total ONGC crude oil production has gone up from 22.25 MMT in 2014 to 22.26 MMT in 2015. In this period, ONGC made 22 hydrocarbon discoveries compared to 14 last year. Reserve Replacement Ratio (RRR), the ratio of reserve accretion to total oil and gas production in one year, stands at 1.38.

ONGC, thus, maintains RRR at more than 1 for the past nine years, a significant achievement.

With a net profit of `17,733 crore in 2015, ONGC aims to make India self-reliant in energy, and is primarily involved in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, contributing about 72 per cent and 48 per cent respectively of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total production. As an integrated oil and gas company, it has in-house capabilities in acquisition, processing and interpretation (API) of seismic data, drilling, work-over and well stimulation operations, engineering and construction, production, processing, refining,

68 I Shubh Yatra I January 2016

transportation, marketing, applied R&D and training.

ONGC has 7.59 billion tonnes of inplace hydrocarbon reserves. It has more than 320 discoveries of oil and gas with ultimate reserves of 2.69 billion metric tonnes (BMT) of oil plus oil equivalent gas (O+OEG) from domestic acreages. It has cumulatively produced 851 million metric tonnes (MMT) of crude and 532 billion cubic metres (BCM) of natural gas, from 111 fields.

ONGC Videsh, the overseas arm of the company, has also performed better this year on the production front. In 2015, there was also a rise in oil and gas production by 6.19 per cent (oil by 0.86 per cent and gas by 16.37 per cent), compared to 2014, primarily due to better management and an addition in the portfolio from BC-10 (Brazil), Sakhalin-I (Russia) and block A-1/A-3 in Myanmar. ONGC Videsh is participating in 36 projects in 17 countries, including Kazakhstan, Russia, Brazil, Venezuela, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam and New Zealand. Of these, 13 are operational, four are under development, 17 are exploratory and two are pipeline projects.

Today ONGC ranks as the top energy company in India, the fifth in Asia and the 21st globally, as per Platts Top 250 Global Energy Rankings. It is also the world's third ranked E&P company. It was ranked 21st in the global oil and gas operations industry in the Forbes Global 2000 list of the world's biggest companies for 2014 and the only Indian energy major in Fortune's Most Admired List 2014 in the "Mining, Crude Oil Production" category. It also ranked at 217 in the Newsweek Green Rankings

World's Greenest Companies 2014. As a responsible leader, ONGC continues its quest to make a difference in the lives of the vulnerable. With a business paradigm that is based on an interconnected vision - of people's welfare, societal growth and environmental conservation - ONGC continues to cater to the developmental needs of the people at large.

ONGC has taken structured initiatives towards corporate governance and its practices, which revolve around multilayered checks to ensure transparency.

It has gone the extra mile to implement the Whistle Blower Policy, ranked 26th in Transparency in Corporate Reporting in the world's 124 largest listed companies published by Transparency International.

ONGC has also tapped unconventional energy sources through gases such as coal bed methane (CBM), underground coal gasification (UCG), shale gas and gas hydrates, even wind and solar energy.

Over 32,000 ONGCians dedicate themselves to enhancing the performance of the company. The company has also implemented globally recognised QHSE management systems conforming to requirements of ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 at ONGC facilities.

Perspective Plan-2030, a document based on operational plans and business goals, charts the roadmap for ONGC's growth over the next two decades, in which it aims to double ONGC's production. The aspirations under this plan aims for the production of 130 MMTOE of O+OEG per year and accretion of over 1,300 MMTOE of proven reserves. It also aims to help ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL) grow sixfold to 60 MMTOE of international O+OEG production, and scale up refining capacity to over 20 MMTPA. ONGC's efforts inspire trust and make people pin their hopes on it to fulfil their energy needs.

infocus republic day

India shining The success of the Make in India drive, the country's unparalleled economic growth and renewed world interest make this Republic Day even more special, says NB Rao The Republic Day celebrations on January 26, 2016, seem to be more exciting than the previous years.

The world is recognising the Make in India drive and there’s a buzz among global and domestic investors about the enormous potential that India has on offer in sectors including infrastructure, transportation, manufacturing, defence and services.

The government has also been proactive in meeting these expectations. Prime Minister Modi’s flagship Make in India initiative has taken off in a big way. This was evident in December, during his visit to Russia, when the two countries signed 16 agreements across various sectors relating to the manufacture of nuclear reactors, solar energy plants, railways and defence equipment.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has unveiled a series of initiatives and proposals that promise to transform the Indian economy over the next few years.

The next generation of reforms – which includes the introduction of the landmark Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act – also promises to boost economic growth in the country.

Russia became the first country to take up the Make in India initiative by offering to manufacture products in the nuclear and defence sectors. The agreement between the two countries will cover the construction of a dozen atomic plants in India.

HIGHLIGHTS

Kaushik Basu, chief economist, World Bank, addressing economists recently noted that India is expected to be the fastest-growing country among major economies in 2015 and 2016. “The US and India are two engines of growth, with India anticipated to be among the fastest growing major economies in the world, he said.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is confident that India’s GDP will expand at 7.3 per cent in the current fiscal for a major defence platform under the Make-in-India mission,” remarked Modi after bilateral talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

World Bank reports say that among the BRICS nations, only China and India are growing around, and below, seven per cent, while Brazil’s GDP is declining by about 3.5 per cent, and South Africa is barely growing.

Compared to the sluggish growth in Europe and other parts of the globe, Africa continues to expand at a faster clip. The African Development Bank’s African Economic Outlook 2015, projects the economies of the continent will grow at 3.9 per cent.

78 I Shubh Yatra I January 2016

According to the Indian Prime Minister, the pace of cooperation between the two countries in nuclear energy is also increasing. “We are making progress on our plans for 12 Russian nuclear reactors at two sites,” he said.

“The agreement will increase Indian manufacturing content in these reactors.

It supports my mission of Make in India.”

India is already in the initial stages of a business cycle recovery suggesting that growth would pick up in the next two quarters. The tailwinds from the low commodity prices, low inflation, the gradual transmission of 125 bps of cumulative rate cuts into lower bank lending rates, de-bottlenecking of stalled project clearances and government efforts to kick start public investment in infrastructure should all help to keep the recovery on track,” it said.

A few weeks earlier, the Prime Minister had signed a deal with the visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe relating to the development of the ambitious, `1 trillion bullet train project to link Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

The Japanese government will be funding the project at extremely low interest rates.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is confident that India’s GDP will expand at 7.3 per cent in the current fiscal. “I think the second quarter figures give us a sense of satisfaction,” he said. “We expect growth this year to be better than last year and even better the next year.

And when manufacturing starts turning despite globally adverse circumstances, I think that's a very significant figure from our point of view.”

Expectations from India are huge and international investors, analysts and economists are hoping that the country will be able to push ahead with these changes to realise its full potential.

Referring to these expectations, Japanese financial major Nomura noted in a recent research report: “In our view,

India has emerged as the world’s fastest-growing large economy, even overtaking China. While India will grow at around 7.5 per cent, China’s GDP is expected to slow down to 6.6 per cent to 6.8 per cent next fiscal from seven per cent this financial year. Other major economic powers are also witnessing

tepid growth. The US, which is one of the few developed economies that is seeing growth, will expand at around two per cent annually. The Euro-area will expand at a measly 1.5 per cent, the UK at 2.5 per cent and the Asean-five at 4.6 per cent. When it comes to other emerging markets, the scenario is gloomy. Mexico will grow at 2.3 per cent, while the Brazilian economy is expected to shrink by three per cent. Similarly, Russia too is expected to see a slowdown of its economy by 3.8 per cent.

In the second half of the 21st century, India is likely to replace China as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top economic power

80 I Shubh Yatra I January 2016

Indeed, the World Economic League Table (WELT), 2016, brought out by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, London, estimates that the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top three economies in 2030 will be China (with a GDP of $34.34 trillion, the US ($33 trillion) and India ($10.13 trillion).

While Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international trade with the developed world and the emerging markets are growing, what is of even more significance is the spurt in trade ties with Africa. According to a working paper by the Export Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank), bilateral trade between India

shubh-yatra.in

and Africa have risen massively over the past decade, from $8.2 billion in 2004 to $75 billion in 2014.

The Indian government recently approved a scheme enabling Exim Bank and other state-run banks to make available concessional finance to Indian companies bidding for strategically import and large construction and infrastructure projects New India Assurance, the largest non-life insurer in the country, has charted out its global expansion plans that include areas like Asia, North America and Africa.

With Indian companies expanding aggressively around the world, financial sector companies are also following their footsteps. State-owned New India Assurance, a general insurer, recently entered Myanmar and is now also looking at Qatar and Uganda. The company is waiting approvals for its operations in Canada. New India also has a presence in Mauritius and Nigeria.

The insurer saw a 10 to 12 per cent growth in Africa, where its focused on segments such as motor and property.

the new face of

Uttar Pradesh The state is on the fast path of development, with all-round progress being witnessed in the sectors of women's safety, power and infrastructure, tourism and culture, and environment Over the last three years, Uttar Pradesh has beeen progressing in leaps and bounds. With the government taking quick decisions across sectors to improve people's lives, Uttar Pradesh today is one of India's fastest growing states. The proactive state government is making sure no sphere is overlooked, including education, medical and health, land acquisition, power, agriculture, development and infrastructure, protection of minorities’ interest, welfare schemes in larger interests of advocates, trade and industry, development of youths and other sections, law and order, environment, inclusion of certain backward castes in the list of scheduled castes, welfare of government employees and other development and welfare schemes. This process of development will be given further momentum in the coming years with a firm determination and new resolutions.

1090-Hotline for women's safety The Uttar Pradesh government and its

police department launched a hotline number, 1090, for women's safety three years back. And more than 4 lakh cases have been solved with the help of this service. In the state, safety for women is not only a slogan but is a reality.

The young chief minister of the state, Akhilesh Yadav, senior police officials and the entire police force are working towards ensuring women's security.

In this regard, the Uttar Pradesh police has launched a dedicated service, Women Power Line (WPL) 1090, to deal with crime against women. The 24x7 Women Power Line is an efficient service to provide immediate help to women during an emergency. Earlier, women used to hesitate to speak out about violence and humiliation they faced. After the launch of WPL service, many women have been protesting and filing complaints. Women constables handling the 1090 service give victims a patient hearing and also counsel them in a friendly manner. According to official figures from Novem-

Agra-Lucknow Expressway

84 I Shubh Yatra I January 2016

shubh-yatra.in

ber 15, 2012, to August 31, 2015, the state police has helped 3,88,658 women.

Out of the total number of 3,97,646 complaints registered in this period, only 8,988 remain unsolved; making the success ratio almost 98 per cent. Uttar Pradesh is India's most populated state (around 20 crore people) and with the help of the 1090 service, about 4 lakh complaints were registered; out of which most were cases of public harassment.

The volunteers working with WPL are called power angels and they encourage women and teenage girls to talk about any harassment they face and complaint against the accused without the fear of backlash. Also, under the WPL system, the women registering the complaints are not called to any police station, making the process easy for them. The complaints can be registered through phone calls, text messages or an online system. To file a complaint, women can dial 1090 or send a message to the WhatsApp number

The Uttar Pradesh government and the state police department launched a hotline number, 1090, for women's safety 9454401090 of the WPL. The members of the WPL remain in touch with the victim until the case is resolved. One can also register complaints online at www.1090up.in/"www.1090up.in.

Smartphone users can lodge their complaints through the Shakti 1090 app. The victim can record audio and video clips and send them to the police. The Shakti App is one of the fastest and simplest ways to contact the police department during emergencies. The WPL system is also connected to Google Maps, so that the police can easily track the location from where the victim is reporting the crime.

Responsibilities of power angels • To spread awareness about 1090 in college/university premises and outside.

• To educate women and girls about the functioning of 1090 and generate confidence among them to approach 1090 in times of need.

• To establish an amiable and trustworthy relationship with girls and women so as to be able to share their concerns.

• To be friendly and approachable at all times, for women and girls, who might want to seek help from them.

• To help connect a victim with 1090 and be with her as a friend throughout, to keep her morale high.

• To educate and build trust of the families and victims about 1090, motivate and counsel them to stand strong with the victim instead of pressurising her otherwise.

• To immediately inform 1090 about any unpleasant behaviour or instances against women, happening around them.

• To constantly update 1090 about any suggestions and feedback.

Heritage ARC The impact of development and forward-looking activities in Uttar Pradesh is also being felt in the areas of culture and tourism. Contrary to the popular perception that there is little else in Uttar Pradesh for tourists to visit other than Agra and Varanasi, a whole new world of heritage and local attractions is being promoted by the state government.

Uttar Pradesh is acknowledged as the cradle of civilisation and confluence of faiths and cultures. The Heritage Arc offers an excellent opportunity to explore the state's historical, natural and cultural glory. Travelling along this arc takes the tourist through three great cities - Agra, Lucknow and Varanasi and several other exciting destinations along the way. Provision for accommodation for tourists has also been made along the arc.

Now, a visitor to Uttar Pradesh can easily enjoy local traditions in places like Mathura and Vrindavan, Bateshwar, Dewa Sharif, Ayodhya, Naimisharanya, Dudhwa National Park, Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary, places along the Buddhist circuit, Vindhyachal and Allahabad.

Power for all Adequate power generation and proper distribution of electricity to all parts of the state throughout the year is an ambitious target that is being met in a planned and phased manner. The objective is to put the state's power woes behind and provide 20- to 24-hour power supply in urban areas and 16-hour power supply to rural areas by October 2016.

The problems that need to be tackled are inadequate power generation, problems in transmission, distribution, power shortage and erratic power supply. The state government has initiated several long-term measures in the field of power generation, transmission and distribution. Far-reaching measures have also been initiated for proper maintenance of power sub-stations, transformers and lines, especially during summer.

It is expected that by October 2016, the state will get 4,000 MW electricity from the private sector's Bara, Lalitpur and Srinagar power projects, and 1,000 MW from the government-operated AnparaD project.

At the tehsil level, construction of 201 new electricity distribution sub-stations

tuojh 2016 I ’kqHk ;k=k I 85

infocus uttar pradesh of 33/11 KV will be completed. This will bring about a significant improvement in electricity supply situation in tehsils and villages.

Over the last three years, improvement in power supply has been remarkable. In June 2012, the average daily electricity supply was 239.6 million units, while in June 2015, 303.9 million units have been ensured. This means an increase of 30 per cent in electricity supply.

Significant measures have also been taken to control line losses across the state. Instructions have been issued to authorities to implement measures that ensure reduction in line losses and contribute towards improvement in the power-supply situation.

To augment the supply of electricity from conventional means, the state government formulated the Solar Energy Policy in January 2013. Under this, solar-power plants of a total capacity of 500 MW are planned to be set up in the state by 2017. This will lead to environmental benefits and capacity addition in power generation.

International Cricket Stadium Providing world-class sports infrastructure to the people of Uttar Pradesh is among the priorities of the state government. The most significant project in this connection is the construction of the international cricket stadium in Lucknow on a PPP model. This 50,000-ca-

Over the last three years, improvement in the state's power supply has been remarkable. The aim is to provide electricity for more than 20 hours pacity structure is being set up over 137 acres and will be equipped with the most modern facilities, pavilions, lighting and seating arrangements.

Work is on in full throttle for the construction of an international-level swimming pool in Etawah, a velodrome in the Sports College at Lucknow, world-class floodlights in the Lucknow hockey stadium, an astroturf at the hockey grounds in Etawah and Jhansi, and a stadium in Kannauj. More coaches are being appointed and their emoluments are being hiked to encourage sports persons in the state.

Lucknow-Agra Expressway The most significant project to be undertaken by the government is a new greenfield expressway between Lucknow and Agra. Work on the 302-km, eight-lane expressway is moving at a feverish pace and is likely to be completed by the end of 2016. More than 3,000 acres of land have been acquired for this project, and it is a testimony to the state government’s intent and efficiency that there have been no protests over land acquisition. The `15,000-crore project is so far the longest access-controlled expressway in India to be funded entirely by the state. It passes though Lucknow, Hardoi, Unnao, Kanpur, Auraiya, Kannauj, Etawah, Mainpuri, Firozabad and Agra.

shubh-yatra.in

The nodal company for this signature project is the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA). The expressway is a shining example of how infrastructure projects should be taken forward.

IT city The state’s Information Technology Policy, formulated over the past two years, aims at positioning the state as the best destination for the IT industry, by providing infrastructure, a simplified business environment and policy changes to facilitate its growth.

The state government is according top priority to the development of the IT sector and IT-enabled services. Besides the existing IT hub in Noida, it is proposing to set up an IT City in Lucknow and Agra. For the Lucknow IT City, the HCL IT City Lucknow Pvt Ltd has been formed with HCL. Land for this project has been made available by acquiring the former Chak Gajaria farm on Lucknow-Sultanpur road. An investment of `1,500 crore is expected to be made in IT City, which will provide direct employment to 25,000 people and create 50,000 jobs.

Mega Call Centre In another first project of its kind in the state, the government has decided to set up a centralised mega call centre, where

Virtual help A new system has been created in Uttar Pradesh to ensure transparency in government work, issue government orders online and upload them on the Internet (http://shashanadesh.up.nic. in). Various departments upload GOs (Government Order) of their departments on the above mentioned website and any person can download them from there.

The prime objective of this system is to ensure that orders of the government reach the common people in a transparent way. Any person can take a printout of government statements from the Jan Seva Centres / Lokwani Centres

Cycling will also be promoted in a big way in the tourism sector, especially in places

where foreign tourist footfall is sizable.

Upcoming hi-tech projects

Recently, a four-and-a-half-kilometrelong cycling track, inspired from designs in the Netherlands, has been constructed around the chief minister's residence in Lucknow. The dedicated four-metre broad lane for cyclists is separate from the footpath and the main road. This track will extend till Lohia Path. Apart from VIP areas, several parks, including Janeshwar Misra Park and Lohia Park have been renovated to make way for cycling tracks.

Lucknow Metro In one of the most ambitious projects being undertaken in any Indian city, work on the Mass Rapid Transport Service (MRTS) in the state capital, Lucknow, by means of a metro train started in September 2014. In its first phase, work is on for a 22-km stretch in Lucknow.

call received at the control room will be locked and will continue to display on the monitors till the time it is disposed of by the police. The Uttar Pradesh police promises to rush to help the victim within eight minutes of dialing 100. Ultra modern Police Control Rooms have been established in Kanpur and Lucknow as well.

In its endeavour to go green, the UP government is developing metro train services and encouraging cycling

also proposed to extend the metro project to other cities of the state, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Agra, Kanpur, Meerut and Varanasi.

Dial 100 With 300 communication officers to receive distress calls from all over the state and 200 dispatch officers to rush police help, Uttar Pradesh Police is all set to get the country's largest centralised 'Dial 100' police control call centre for the entire state in Lucknow.

Slated to be functional by December 2016, the state government has already allotted seven acres of prime land along Shaheed Path for the call centre and the process for procurement of 2,000 four-wheelers and 4,000 two-wheelers have already begun.

These vehicles will be deployed across the state in addition to the district police force, to reach the site of any emergency within 20 minutes of the call being made to the police control room.

To implement the project, a special purpose vehicle (SPV), Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC), has been incorporated. The LMRC's principal advisor is E Sreedharan, the dynamic former head of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).

The total cost of the project is estimated at `6,880 crore. When completed, this will greatly ease the traffic situation in Lucknow. The state government has

The project is being executed by a sixmember high level committee led by advisor to the state home department and includes Director General of Police (DGP), Additional Director General of Police Traffic (ADGP) and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Special Task Force (STF) Sujeet Pandey as its key members. Venkat Changavalli is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the 108 Ambulance Service in UP, which also functions with a similar call centre.

Giving a brief sketch of how the call centre will operate, ADG Anil Agarwal says, "Suppose a person dials 100 from a village on the outskirts of Banda district.

The call will not be received at the Banda district police control room but will land at the call centre in Lucknow. Here, the dispatch officer will locate the control room vehicle closest to the scene of the incident, which will be depicted in real time on a digital map of the state at the control room, and direct the team to the spot. "In the meantime, the dispatch officer will also inform the concerned district and the local police station."

Elaborating on the subject, IG STF Sujeet Pandey says, "Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have a similar setup but on a small scale as compared to what our plan is." The police communication will work on Radio Over Internet Protocol (RIOP) and hence the communication will be seamless across the state, he explains.

The call centre in Lucknow will include a control room, a training cell for the staff and a research and analysis wing. Every

These control rooms ensure quick response from the local police on its 100 emergency number. Policemen on field have also been provided with hand-held computing devices. The state police has adopted cloud-a modern computing and data storage facility in the PCR to make policing more effective. The highlight of the facility is that the police helpline number 100 will be automatically directed to the nearest police patrol party for immediate redressal of complaints.

Complaints will be taken up through the Global Positioning System.

Apart from this, the police patrol teams moving on foot, four-wheeler or motorcycle have been equipped with Memory Technology Device (MTD) through which they can send audio, data and snap shots of the crime spot to the control room. After analysing the information, the officer present at the control room will send a direction to the patrol team for required action. The control room

can also forward picture clippings to the patrol team. The patrol party, in turn, can get a printout of the direction as well.

The government plans to setup modern Police Control Rooms in all major cities of the state.

How would you describe the status of higher education in India?

There has been a substantial increase in higher education institutes in India in the past few years but there is still no uniformity in quality. But information and communication technology is being implemented with gusto.

We are slowly getting on a par with globally recognised universities and hope to see a lot less brain drain from India.

What inspired you to venture into education?

A career choice reflects one’s skills and temperament. My father has been an educationist and I always craved a modern approach to teaching when I was a student. Education is the most important function in any culture and I wanted to contribute to it.

But all this is not without context.

The city’s world-famous Art Deco architecture acts as a perfect backdrop to the Miami experience, both culturally and visually. The culture originated in the 1930s and merged into the urban fabric by the early 1950s. The neighbourhood was a hotbed of different art and architectural genres in Europe - Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, Expressionism and Cubism - all of which came together to form the Miami Art Deco genre.

The term “Art Deco” was first used in 1925 at Paris’ Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, an exhibition dedicated to the display of modern decorative arts. However, it was in the 1980s that interest in this style was rekindled and the term Art Deco began to be used generously. The

streetwise miami Where 5th Street dead-ends into the beach at Ocean Drive, start your arty walk. Look for Park Central, which was a hangout for Hollywood stars such as Clark Gable and Rita Hayworth.

Cross the street and saunter up Lummus Park at Ocean Drive, where after a few steps east, you can be on the beach. Look back to the west for a great view of the Art Deco skyline.

Back on Ocean Drive, keep moving north past the Waldorf Towers, 860 Ocean Drive, with its round glass tower that looks like a lighthouse. The 10th Street is home to the Miami Design Preservation League, founded in 1976, in an effort to identify, classify and preserve buildings dating back to the 1930s.

Continue to 1116 Ocean Drive to the area’s most infamous residence, the white, 1930 Spanish-style mansion Casa Casaurina, once home to Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace, who was shot dead in 1997 on its steps.

Modern Art Deco residential buildings at South Beach

Great Depression of 1929 and the World Wars demanded a certain austerity in design, which was visible in the Art Deco style.

The best way to discover this unique heritage quarter in Miami is, of course, on foot. One stroll through South Beach’s Ocean Drive, and you will lose yourself in the Art Deco universe, dominated by magnificent, pastel-hued buildings and boutique hotels lining the waterfront.

It’s a sunny morning in Miami, and my guide ushers me into the plush lobby of The Tides hotel, which dates back to 1936. I learn that there are more than 1,000 buildings that are participating in the Historic Art Deco District’s inventory - and this is one of them. So this is a great start.

This wonderfully restored boutique hotel is exemplary of the Art Deco style and my guide begins my walking tour by pointing out the porthole windows and the ornate terrazzo lobby floor. Today, I am told, most of the Art Deco buildings along Miami’s Ocean Drive are converted into charming boutique hotels - the Carlyle, the Delano, the Raleigh, the Bentley and the National Hotel, to name a few.

Keep walking north to The Tides hotel, between 12th and 13th streets. Check out the Art Deco curves on the stylish Carlyle Hotel at 1250 Ocean Drive.

When Ocean Drive stops at 15th Street, turn left for Collins Avenue, which houses the Fontainebleau.

This 22-acre, ultra-glamorous hotel has been the hangout of numerous celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and, more recently, Barack Obama.

Double back and head down 17th Street. Cross Washington Avenue and find yourself at the beginning of Lincoln Road, a pedestrianonly outdoor mall, where your walk can culminate in browsing through chic boutiques and shops.

Make it a point to stop at one of Miami’s most famous addresses - News Café, a laidback restaurant and a local favourite since 1988 As you stroll along the waterfront avenue, I recommend walking across the street from the buildings to better appreciate the facades - you will pass a string of Art Deco buildings, beach cafés, buzzing restaurants, boutiques and tattoo parlours, each with its unique architectural style.

Walking into a hotel lobby to appreciate the terrazzo floors and Art Deco touches is not usually frowned upon, but photography is discouraged.

I can’t help but notice an underlying nautical theme among the Art Deco motifs. My guide tells me that this “Tropical Deco”, featuring motifs such as palm trees, waves and cruise ships, is unique to this Miami neighbourhood, as the architects wanted to give geographical context to the buildings.

There is a sense of joie de vivre on these streets, as strains of Latino music are audible from every corner. Make it a point to stop at one of Miami’s most famous addresses - News Café, a laidback restaurant and a local favourite since 1988. This American-diner-meets-European-café is perfect for an afternoon deli-style sandwich and lemonade. After sundown, this district transforms into a party hub. As the famous Art Deco neon lights illuminate the facades, the bars and restaurants brim with locals and laughter, eager to enjoy a slice of the good life in true South Beach style.

The Dirang Dzong has a Bhutanese influence.

Visit the surrounding stone houses, which are more than 500 years old.

DIRANG

A convoy of 30 cars started from Guwahati to Dirang - the first stop in this eight-day Mahindra driving trip. Dirang, a small settlement in the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh, overlooks the Dirang valley and boasts the beautiful Kameng river.

Off-roading took on a new meaning as we waded through the river and had a delicious lunch of authentic northeastern fare - duck chilly, pork dry fry, dal, steamed rice and a red-hot preparation of chicken with bhut jholokhia, the hottest chilli in the world. And before we knew it, we were sitting in the warm, orange tones of a setting sun by a gushing river, enjoying the cool wonders of dusk at 4.30 pm. Time flies when you are having fun, but if you have some to spare, do visit the National Research Centre on Yak (NRCY) in Dirang. It is a one-of-a-kind organisation in India, focussing on ways to develop yak husbandry in India.

About a kilometre ahead of Dirang are hot water springs which are said to have medicinal properties.

The Sela pass, at an altitude of 13,700 ft about 67 km from Tawang, is the highest pass in the Northeast.

The three-storey Tawang Monastery, founded in 1680, is the largest in India.

The Nuranang falls, just 50 km from Tawang, is perhaps the most beautiful waterfall in the Northeast.

Sangetsar lake, also known as Madhuri lake, freezes over in the winters, making it a popular tourist spot.

TAWANG

The highlight of the next day was the stunning Nuranang falls. Plunging 328 ft, the Jung Falls, as it is also called, presented us with the beautiful sight of a rainbow near its foot, which shimmered against a misty veil of sunlight. It was late evening when we entered Tawang, and since it was rest day the next, we regaled ourselves with local lore and brew such as arrack (rice beer) and chhang (barley, millet and ginger brew) - not to mention delicacies such as bamboo shoot fry and poora haah (whole roasted duck). The next day, we had a relatively late breakfast (read 7 am) and headed to the Sangetsar lake. Nestled amid snow-capped peaks, the view at the lake made for a wonderful photo opportunity. The waters were calm, pristine and added to the beauty of the lush scenery.

If you want see rhinos - or even tigers - up close, an elephant safari is your best bet.

Assam tea, one of the world’s most famous varieties of breakfast tea, is known for its colour and malty flavour.

The Kakochang waterfalls, between Kaziranga National Park and Bokakhat, is a popular picnic spot for locals.

Kaziranga National Park

Welcome to the jungle, I thought as we trundled into Assam’s Kaziranga National Park in an open Gypsy. A World Heritage Site, Kaziranga is home to more than two-thirds of the world’s population of the one-horned rhinoceros. It is also home to a number of tigers, elephants, swamp deer, hog deer and wild water buffaloes. Just 20 minutes into our safari we spotted a solitary rhino basking in the sun. By the time we had ended our safari about two hours later, we had spotted more than nine rhinos and a herd of wild elephants.

However, the big cat remained elusive. This was followed by an authentic Assamese lunch of duck curry and assorted vegetables at Hornbill restaurant, accompanied by a panoramic view of tea gardens and tea pluckers milling around. As I sat sipping my Assam tea, I realised this is what true serenity felt like.

The ashram is locally called the Chaurasi Kutiya

Uttarakhand’s Forest Department has converted the ashram into an eco-friendly tourist destination.

Now you can enjoy bird walks and nature trails inside the campus, located within the Rajaji National Park. Entry is `150 for Indians and `600 ($9) for foreigners.

Fly to Dehradun’s Jolly Grant airport. From there, it’s a 25-km drive to Rishikesh.

The national park is open from mid-November to mid-June.

I walk past a cluster of ashrams and cafés, suspension bridges and rows of pilgrims making their way to the popular Ganga aarti. But my destination is the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram. What glitters most in mass reverie is the visit that the Beatles made here in the late 1960s, when they wrote much of The White Album.

I wade through bushes before I stumble upon the igloo-shaped meditation cells. It is almost dusk and in the golden glow of the setting sun filtering in through overgrown trees staking claim over the ashram, it feels as if I have discovered a sacred space. (The undergrowth has been cleared now as the abandoned ashram sitting quietly by the Ganges has been converted into an eco-friendly tourist destination.)

Nourished by nature – here a creeper, there a patch of moss – walls replace canvas with bohemian rhapsodies in text and image. I ignore the unruly graffiti added to the otherwise carefully curated murals. The Cathedral Gallery is worth a visit.

Another must-stop-by spot is the Beatles Café on the Laxman Jhula Paidal Marg, which is rife with lyrics, photographs of the Beatles with the Maharishi and film posters.

Racks of LP records punctuate the shelves of a generous cabinet housing a selection of books. Laptops and sketchbooks are not frowned upon, and travellers are encouraged to linger. Read, hum, sample succulent pancakes and lose yourself to stunning views of the Ganges. There are several images I click but there are some that my camera fail to hold. The most touching is that of a bedraggled girl at Ramana’s Organic Café (that supports a home for at-risk children) flashing a trusting smile. I’m sure if the Beatles had spotted her, they’d be writing another song about love and peace.

Bengaluru is well connected to all major metros and to Agatti, Goa, Kochi and Pune on the domestic sector.

On the international network, it is connected to Male, Muscat and San Francisco with direct flights and convenient connections.

It was the best R-Day parade I had watched. Drenched to the skin, patriotic spirit fiercely alive, I cheered every display till my palms hurt. The chest welled with pride when the huge Karnataka float depicting the toy town of Channapatna sailed in gracefully on the majestic Rajpath. The Obamas were special guests at the parade, and so impressed was Michelle Obama with the colourful, lacquered wooden toys that she took some to the White House for her daughters!

I had a sudden urge to visit Channapatna. I had crossed this gombegala ooru, or toy town, about 70 km from Bengaluru, but had never visited it. Channapatna turned out to be a small, laid-back town with its markets

HIGHLIGHTS

The finish of the toys is smooth and there are no sharp edges, which make them safe for children.

Big corporates such as Infosys and Microsoft are major clients of the Channapatna toy industry.

Along with horse rockers, rattles and dolls, artisans are also making candle stands, mobile holders, paper weights and jewellery.

brimming with fresh farm produce and flowers. The locals are simple people ever willing to help. It is with them that I discovered the legacy of this craft, believed to have originated in Persia and introduced to India by Tipu Sultan. Entire families are involved in toy making. One such toymaker, Krishna, is a sixthgeneration Rajput from Rajasthan. So what was so special about these toys, I asked him. “Our toys are completely environment-friendly,” he said proudly.

And it indeed is an eco-friendly product! Vegetable colours from turmeric, indigo and ratanjot, and natural lacquer from the forest are used.

With increasing awareness of the need to protect the environment, it is no wonder that these toys have caught the fancy of the international market, especially in the US and Europe. This traditional craft is protected as a Geographical Indication (GI) under the WTO, and the wood used is aale mara, or ivory wood, which is light-weight, smooth and easily available in the region. However, in recent times, artisans are also using rubber, pine, teak and cedar. Seasoning of the wood is key to durability. As for polishing, it is done with a soft leaf called taalegari. Simple instruments such as vernier callipers, scales and dividers are used to get the right size and maintain accuracy.

It was heartening to learn from Krishna that this small-scale industry is seeing a revival, thanks to government and NGO efforts. Talent is being trained and exports are picking up. And thanks to its ecofriendliness USP, it has survived a scare from the Chinese market. So the rocking horses will continue to rock toddlers and the mathematical games and puzzles will continue to quiz youngsters!

Dubai at its glittering best

SMART MOVES Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's August visit to the UAE has given a boost to the growing trade relations between the two countries, says Abhishek Chakraborty Dubai has always been a favourite destination for Indian tourists. So much so that in 2014, a popular survey replaced Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, with Dubai as the most preferred overseas destination for Indian travellers.

However, there is room for growth when it comes to Dubai's trade ties with India.

India-UAE trade, valued at $180 million per annum in the 1970s, is today around $60 billion

116 I Shubh Yatra I January 2016

The visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the UAE in August last year, the first by an Indian Premier since Indira Gandhi's visit 34 years ago, followed by UAE foreign minister Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan's trip to India, is expected to add to the depth of the emerging strategic partnership between Delhi and Abu Dhabi.

shubh-yatra.in

While India and UAE have emerged as each other's preferred economic partner, with a trade volume that is expected to grow after a lull, the significant element in bilateral ties is the growing security and defence partnership between the two nations.

Strategic past Indians have always been important investors in the UAE and our country is an important export destination for UAE-manufactured goods. India-UAE trade, valued at $180 million per annum in the 1970s, is today around $60 billion, making UAE Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third largest trading partner for the year 2014-15 after China and the US. Moreover, UAE was the

The Indian Prime Minister also highlighted the opportunities for UAE businesses in the Indian agriculture sector, among others, saying, “In the agriculture sector we need cold storage network and warehousing network where UAE businesses have an advantage.

Infrastructure development and real estate offer tremendous opportunities for UAE businesses in India.”

second largest export destination for India with an amount of over $33 billion for the year 2014-15. For UAE, India was the largest trading partner for the year 2013 with an amount of over US$ 36 billion (non-oil trade).

Over 2.5 million Indians work in the UAE and remit over $13 billion annually. Indians living in UAE form over 33% of the total population of the UAE

India's major export items to UAE include petroleum products; precious metals, stones, gems and jewellery; minerals; food items (cereals, sugar, fruits and vegetables, tea, meat, and seafood); textiles (garments, apparel, synthetic fibre, cotton, yarn); engineering and machinery products and chemicals.

“We are determined to attract more investment into India in various sectors.

I am extremely keen to hear and listen from you some of the proposals, especially Make in India, Digital India and Smart City initiatives,” UAE’s foreign minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan said recently. They also have plans to raise this bilateral trade to nearly $100 billion in the next five years.

Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley too visited UAE last year to discuss investment proposals among other issues and met senior officials of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), one of the largest sovereign funds in the Gulf nation. The minister met Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Makhtoum, Minister of Finance, UAE, to discuss issues of mutual cooperation in the field of economic and trade development during his trip there.

Between April 2000 and May 2015, India has received $3.09 billion in investments from the UAE, which is one per cent of the total FDI received by India during the period.

According to visitor statistics for the first half of 2015, Dubai saw an approximate 25 per cent increase in yearon-year overnight visitors from India — growing from 6,39,000 for the first half of 2014, to 798,000 overnight visitors for the same period in 2015

Nature and nurture

Watching a tigress with her cubs is an exhilarating experience. A mother will rarely leave her cubs unattended for the first two months, and will act as their mother, trainer and protector till they are about 18 months old, when they are ready to venture out on their own.

This image captures a playful moment between a mother and her cubs at the Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh.

126 I Shubh Yatra I January 2016

After years of panic-stricken reports on dwindling tiger numbers and alarming habitat loss, the latest tiger census in India has shown a heartening 30 per cent rise in numbers - up from 1,706 in 2011 to 2,226 in 2014. Almost half of the world’s population of tigers calls India’s lush jungles and forest reserves home, and now with tiger-spotting season on till June, there is as good a chance as any of catching these majestic animals in action. Of the many tiger sanctuaries in India, Ranthambore in Rajasthan, Bandhavgarh and Kanha in Madhya Pradesh, Corbett in Uttarakhand and Tadoba in Maharashtra are tourist favourites.

New reserves

Apart from the 50-odd national parks in India, the government, in accordance with approval from the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), has proposed the creation of three more - Ratapani in Madhya Pradesh, Sunabeda in Odisha and Guru Ghasidas in Chhattisgarh. The NTCA has also given its final approval to a proposal to declare Kudremukh National Park in Karnataka and Rajaji National Park in Uttarakhand as tiger reserves. Tigers are solitary creatures with clearly marked territories ranging from 60 sq km-100 sq km, and their fights for domain are aggressive and often lethal. As such, restoring as much of their natural habitat as possible is a strong step towards conservation.

‘Why can’t we promote a budding musician’s song the same way we do a superstar’s?

We need to create alternative platforms for nurturing young talent’ (From right) Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendosa

What is your most memorable airport moment?

Ehsaan: We had just started recording music for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and were in Delhi for a performance. And when we walked into the Delhi airport in the morning, guess who we bumped into?

Milkha Singh himself!

How cool is that? We spent some quality time chatting with the legend – it really helped us understand the nuances of the film we were composing for.

What do you think about the present music scene in India?

Coexistence - and it holds true for all forms of music in India. Vishal-Shekhar and Arijit Singh are two of the great artistes in Bollywood. There is so much musical diversity in the country, but the problem is we sometimes forget to appreciate our classical and folk music. In other parts of the world, there is immense respect for indigenous forms of art and music. Why can’t we promote an upcoming musician’s song the same way we do a superstar’s? We need to create alternative platforms for nurturing young talent. If we showcase new music in a continuous stream on a platform such as Coke Studio, we will get a cache of amazing artists and songs we didn’t even know existed in India.

How will Mirchi T3 benefit new musicians?

There is a lot of talent in the country and not all of them are given the opportunity they deserve. Mirchi T3 can be a platform to showcase this talent. T3 sees an average of 23 million passengers from diverse backgrounds and nationalities every year, and the artistes have a mature, informed audience who will appreciate their music. So there’s an increased chance that new artistes will be recognised.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)

The year starts off with emotional challenges. But things will change and 2016 will surprise you. You will have ample travel opportunities, but you will have to break free from the mundane.

2016 will be emotionally satisfying.

Although there will be difficult decisionmaking phases, you will make the right choice. Two opposing elements will make travelling tough, so you’ll have to choose.

2016 is a mix of good and bad. It starts off well but by mid-year, there will be a revelation that will rock the beautiful castle you have built. Most of your travel will come from career start-ups.

The net profit for the half year ended September 2015 stood at ` 211.59 crore. The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CRAR) under Basel II stood at 11.95%. The bank has declared 50% dividend for the year 2014-15. It has a highly dedicated team of over 7,682 employees ably patronised by over 1,23,000 shareholders and over 71 lakh clientele base.

True to its mission statement, the bank is a tech-savvy one and was one of the earliest banks to adopt Core Banking Solution, way back in the year 2000.

A Green show

Green TV, India’s first television channel for agrarian and rural development, makes its presence felt

In India, agriculture makes up almost 50 per cent of the work force for our country men. Agriculture is one of the oldest occupations, and it’s a fast diminishing one due to various reasons, including the fact that the youth is no longer attracted to the sector. This is largely due to the lack of relevant Junaid Memon information about the very CMD, Green TV important role it plays in shaping our economy and the benefits of being affiliated to it. Today, Green TV is the only television channel catering to the rural as well as mass populace, highlighting the progress and challenges faced by the grass root and agricultural community in India. Green TV works with agricultural and rural industry representatives as well as members of the rural and agricultural society to provide accurate and nonmanipulated information, and insights for the critical growth of rural communities on all fronts.

Green TV rolled out a year ago with a commitment to educate and inform its viewers through shows covering every aspect related to livelihood, productivity, health and safety. It plans to develop shows like information segments, talk shows, panel discussions, market updates, relevant music and entertainment capsules.

The channel, helmed by Junaid Memon, a filmmaker and an adworld stalwart, is a humble effort to give back to society.

Memon has toiled for over six years to turn this project into reality. “All the shows are packaged keeping in mind entertainment and education with a rural touch,” he said.

When questioned about the commercial feasibility and scope for collaboration, he said: “We are in talks with a few venture capitalists, including foreign investors. Green TV is open to collaboration with both Indian and foreign partners, as long as social responsibility precedes profit. Green TV does not exist merely to make money. Of course revenue is critical, but our partners should also be aligned with our cause.”

It is the first private TV channel to have a distribution team of more than 35 people, travelling through villages and mid-size towns, tapping into cable networks that have been neglected by broadcasters and ensuring a further and wider audience base for Green TV. Today Green TV reaches even the most remote village.

JSS Mahavidyapeetha, JSS University and devotees celebrate the centenary birth anniversary of Jagadguru Dr Sri Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamiji

His Holiness Jagadguru Dr Sri Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamiji, the 23rd Pontiff of Sri Jagadguru Veerasimhasana Mahasamsthana Math, known as Sri Suttur Math, inherited the legacy of the 10th century old Srimath at an early age. He was born in 1916 and ascended the His Holiness Jagadguru Dr Sri Peetha in 1928, when he Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamiji was about 12 years old. He shared the responsibilities with his senior, Jagadguru Pattada Shivarathri Mahaswamigalu. For more than half a century he was at the helm of affairs at the math. Every step he took was in search of new areas of service.

He was a patron of arts and literature and a scholar in Kannada and Sanskrit. He sacrificed his educational career to provide succor to the helpless and poor. With a desire to assuage the educational needs of hundreds of rural children, he started the first free hostel in Mysore in 1941. Thus began his journey of socio- economic transformation of the region with the establishment of schools, colleges and Sanskrit patashalas in and around Mysore.

A single minded dedication to a task aimed at the welfare of all goaded him to trudge the path of sacrifice. The incredible divine grace coupled with intense and sustained focus resulted in materialisation of his great dreams of establishing free schools and hostels, professional colleges, centres of art, music, and literature etc. Jagadguru Dr Sri Shivarathri Rajendra Swamiji had a strong vision of starting educational institutions in rural areas, considering the hardships students coming to cities for education face. In order to make this possible, he started the Jagadguru Sri Shivarathreeshwara Mahavidyapeetha (JSS Mahavidyapeetha) in 1954. In 1962 it was registered under the Societies’ Registration Act. Under the untiring efforts of Dr Sri Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamiji, the Vidyapeetha has witnessed enormous growth in the field of education. Thousands of children, men and women have found solace under his boundless compassion.

Though the earthly sojourn of His Holiness came to end in 1986, his indomitable spirit lingers through over 350 institutions across the world. The centenary birth anniversary of Jagadguru Dr Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamiji was celebrated in 2015. Today, the JSS Mahavidyapeetha and its influence on thousands of students stands testimony to the vision of Shri Rajendra Mahaswamiji.
