Or have bumped into your noisy neighbour during a soul-searching vacation? In the January issue of Shubh Yatra, we offer you a list of eight destinations from across India - spectacular yet off the tourist map. As a new year begins, discover new holidays with us! The quest for rare and unique experiences takes us city-hopping, as we admire rare Indian museums – from a home for traditional musical instruments to a collection of quirky art. Travelling offshore, we drive along the stunning countryside of Tasmania, discovering a pristine land.

Jayita Bandyopadhyay Managing Editor (jayita@maxposure.in)

As we celebrate Republic Day this month, prominent technocrat and former NASSCOM president Kiran Karnik writes about how Indians are innately innovative and the future belongs to them! India and new journeys merge in celebrated musician Anoushka Shankar's latest notes. The Grammy Award-nominated sitar player talks about being an Indian, motherhood and music as her vocabulary. This year, let's look forward to new and happy beginnings, and peace on Earth... it can be.

MORE THAN A GAME

Basking in the victory of the Indian colts at the Men’s Hockey Junior World Cup 2016 in Lucknow, coach Harendra Singh talks about what went into the making of the historic win

Celebrating India’s glorious win over Belgium at the Men’s Hockey Junior World Cup, Air India CMD, Ashwani Lohani felicitated the coach of the team, Air India employee Harendra Singh, for this feat. He also felicitated Aarrman Qureshi, a team member and an Air India employee on the occasion. Also seen is Jayant Yadav, a cricketer and son of an Air Indian

Harendra Singh’s is a story of struggle, dismay, perseverance, faith and ultimately, glorious victory. As he returns after having led the Indian colts to their historic Men’s Hockey Junior World Cup 2016 win as their coach, a sense of accomplishment jostles with a multitude of emotions and memories within him. Hockey has always been his greatest love and his passion for the sport shines in his eyes with every experience he recounts, both on and off the field. Relegated to stereotypes as a player and labelled a ‘hopeless’ coach after missing out on the 2005 Junior World Cup, the past few decades have been an uphill climb, but the view from the summit is beautiful. “I have experienced success as well as failure in my life. The gold medal in itself is not new to me – I have won 11 of them through the course of my career. The question was always one of acceptance, and receiving that now means a lot more than I can explain,” he says.

For Singh, hockey is more than a sport. “Hockey is my passion. I can literally do anything for it,” he affirms as he recounts the kind of training, investment – financial and emotional alike – and research that has gone into the making of this victory. “I train my players in more than just the game - the game is only one of the many things that make you a champion. I had declared to my team on the first day of training itself that I will get them the gold medal at the 2016 Hockey Junior World Cup - if they do exactly as I say,” he shares. A self-proclaimed ‘obsessive’ and emotional coach, his training is premised on two fundamental principles: one, that hockey is an intelligent man’s game and two, that the process is far more important than the outcome. “During one of my sessions with my team, I showed them a circle. Inside the circle were things that were within their control and

outside it were things that were beyond their control. My name was the first thing I placed outside the circle, along with the outcome of the game. Playing good hockey – that was inside the circle and was what had to be every player’s focus. My philosophy is never to think about the outcome, but only about the process,” Singh opines.

I could not have asked for a better platform than Air India to support and enable me to reach my goal Harendra Singh

28 I SHUBH YATRA I JANUARY 2017 SY-Jan17.indb 28

The process of preparing his team has, for him, involved a lot of research, innovative strategising and personal expenditure. One of the first coaches in India to introduce the use of GPS and other software for training on the field, the coach has spent several lakhs on computer hardware and software that can help him keep track of his players’ performance. Ask him when he first looked towards technology as a coach and he recalls, “It was during the 2000 Sydney Olympics and we had lost the medal by a whisker to Poland. At the time, we had no software, no video analysis – nothing at all to explain to us where we had gone wrong. I remember, all 16 players had grieved for two days like we had lost a loved one. When I sat to think about where we had lacked from a coaching point of view, I began to collect data from international coaches –

what they did, how they prepared their teams - and that was when I realised that we were 50 years behind them. We were dependent on a few players who were the best in the team, while they worked on making every player the best in the team. And they had the technology and data to enable them to build their strategy. So, I put together money to buy a laptop before I even knew how to switch one on.” Software that could analyse his players’ technique using biomechanics followed and the rest, as he says, is history. While he worked with various kinds of software, he also signed up for courses with the International Hockey Federation, putting together funds to buy and try out equipment that they recommended as well. And through it all, he was driven by a single-minded urge to bring glory back to hockey in India. Today, he is a senior manager at Air India and has his eyes set on even bigger victories in the future. “I am considering taking some time off from coaching now, to delve into some more research for a new software,” he says with a smile, keeping the details under wraps and leaving with a promise of greater heights yet to be scaled.

HEROES OF THE SKY Whether it is a war-torn country or a flooded city, Air Indians are always there to help stranded souls, sometimes even at the risk of their own lives Air India’s crew formed a crucial part of Operation Rahat, India’s evacuation drive in war-torn Yemen in 2015, as they and Indian armed forces rescued approximately 4,000 Indians and hundreds of foreign nationals from Yemen within a week. Air India pilots flew three Airbus A-321s from India to Djibouti in Africa. From there, the flights took off for Yemen’s war-torn capital Sana’a to evacuate Indians and bring them back to India.

A war-torn country or a land flattened by an earthquake. A city flooded by rains or an island hit by a typhoon... one of the most trusted sights during such calamities is that of an Air India aircraft flying in on a rescue mission. Whether it was the 1990 Gulf War (during which the airline evacuated over one lakh people from Amman, earning a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest evacuation by a civil airline), the Yemen crisis, the Nepal earthquake of 2015, the Chennai floods the same year or more recently, when flights and transit of ships were suspended from and to Andaman Islands due to cyclonic weather, Air India has played a pivotal role in rescuing many Indians and foreigners, flying them back to safety. Serving the nation and people selflessly, even at the risk of their own lives, is an intrinsic part of training of Air

Indians. The airline’s pilots, cabin crew, ground-handling staff and even administrative personnel never shy away from stepping forward during an emergency. As Air Indians say: “If we don’t do it, then who will?” In December 2016, as cyclone Vardah wreaked havoc on Andaman Islands and tourists were stranded due to torrential rains, choppy seas and heavy winds, Air India stepped in to help. First, it waived cancellation and refund charges for travel to and from Port Blair and then as the inclement weather improved slightly, it flew special flights to bring back tourists. Hundreds of stranded tourists were brought back to the mainland by Air India. The national carrier flew out hundreds when Chennai was flooded in December 2015.

Time and again Air India has showed its care and concern for passenger safety and well-being. Recently, two international flights were diverted mid-way to address medical emergencies of the passengers. A Chicago-bound flight had to land in Norway and another San Francisco to Delhi flight was diverted to Helsinki as passengers on board needed immediate medical attention. Ashwani Lohani, CMD, Air India, said, “In close to 24 hours, Air India handled two medical emergencies effectively, giving priority to our passengers’ well-being. I would like to appreciate our crew for managing the situation so well.” Besides, Air India has also pulled out all stops to fly live organs for urgent medical procedures from one city to another. Another example of a show of bravery by Air Indians was witnessed when the Indian Airlines (now Air India) flight IC 814 was diverted to Kandahar in Afghanistan in December 1999. Captain Devi Sharan, who was commandeering the flight, and his crew, put themselves at risk to safeguard the passengers on the aircraft. “As the commander of the flight, my first concern was the safety of all the souls on board,” said the captain, recalling the incident. Let’s salute the heroes of the sky!

The waves splash gently against the shore, creating ripples that stretch back to the horizon. As far as one can see, the blue canvas spreads out, dotted by shimmering sand patterns and spots of dense green foliage. A breeze blows in, whispering through the groves, filling the silence of the evening. The sky turns crimson, its edges on fire, as the sun starts its slow descent. It seems like a tropical island paradise and Hanuwantiya island, located at the heart of the Indira Sagar Dam on the Narmada river, can be called one. It is here that Madhya Pradesh's most popular annual watersports event takes place. Jal Mahotsav, a month-long adventure carnival, is

The square houses the largest Christmas market in the city and the most in demand are the figurines of Virgin Mary, Joseph and the Child.

Preciados Street

A popular tourist hub, Preciados Street, Playa del Carmen and Arenal Street are some of the main commercial areas of the city. Located between Callao Square and Puerta del

BOOKS

EVERY MILE A MEMORY

By Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma, Rupa Publications, 260 pages, `295

PREDICTIONS 2017

THE INDIAN TRILOGY

From the Mumbai-based tarot reader comes a book seeking to unravel the future with tarot cards and by bringing about spiritual realisation through the power of the being - presentmoment awareness. The book offers insights into your future across various aspects - professionally, personally, and your health, along with suggestions on what you can change within yourselves to attain peace.

A semi-autobiographical account of the life of Naipaul, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, the book presents his take on India’s postindependence development. The author casts a particularly analytical eye at how the aftereffects of foreign rule still persist in India, and presents these in a thoughtful, hilarious read.

By Karmel Nair, Harlequin, 368 pages, `399

A travelogue detailing the author’s trips to destinations near and far, what makes this interesting is the intimate feel - appearing as if the author wrote from memory instead of collecting his travel notes. From the railway station in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to places mentioned in William Wordsworth’s works, there is much to enjoy for a travel enthusiast.

By VS Naipaul, Pan Macmillan India, 1,100 pages, `799

CROOKED MINDS

By Kiran Karnik, Rupa Publications, 220 pages, `395 With innovation being a key ingredient for the success of today’s organisations and governments, this book is a timely release. It looks at the concept of innovation, how it is different for different purposes, if and how it differs from jugaad/ improvisation, and the need for crooked thinking. The ranking of India’s most innovative cities and a variety of examples make this an interesting read.

It is believed that Sita bathed in the Sita Devi lake here and locals say that the water of the lake possesses healing powers.

The trek to Kuari Pass – also called the Curzon Trail after Lord Curzon, who made the journey in 1905 - is a visually stunning experience. But it’s a challenging hike that requires planning and stamina. What the four-day trek offers, however, is worth all that and more, beginning with Gorson Bugyal, a dazzling green meadow that greets you when you embark on your journey, to peaks like Nanda Devi, Dunagiri, Hathi, Ghori, Nilkantha and Chaukhamba making spectacular appearances along the way, should the weather permit. Snow fields, frozen lakes and dense forests follow, until you finally find yourself at Kuari Pass.

VASAI FORT, MAHARASHTRA

Majestic brick walls, Roman-esque arches, intricate relief sculptures, faded murals and an air of serene solitude welcome you to the Vasai Fort, also known as Bassein Fort, in Vasai village, Maharashtra. Around 48 km north of Mumbai, the Portuguese marvel is perfect for an unhurried afternoon. Walk along its meandering passageways, under the stone arches and remnants of churches to soak up the sense of grandeur that still lingers in this once-flourishing Portuguese port.

Garli, Himachal Pradesh

While lush greenery and snowcapped mountains are a familiar sight in any Himachal village, Garli is special. Declared a heritage village by the Ministry of Tourism, Himachal Pradesh, it is the picture of rustic grandeur. Old havelis and Italianate structures are strewn across its sleepy landscape, alongside mud-plastered and slate-roofed houses along cobbled streets. Believed to have been established by the Sud community in the 17th century, it was abandoned in 1950. Since then it has been gradually inhabited again.

Talasari Beach, Balasore, Odisha

Lined with tall palm and coconut trees, the sprawling beach of Talasari is delightful company in itself - besides the red crabs you might spot here. Nestled near the Subarnarekha river, Talasari’s white sands are among the less populated of Odisha’s beaches. If you visit during high tide, you’ll need a boat to get you across the backwaters to the beach. Do visit the popular fishing village and the fresh fish market. The famous Chandaneswar temple is located nearby. Image: Debashis Panda

A quiet little village in the Kangra district, Kareri is heaven for anyone seeking silence and peace of mind. The village is best enjoyed if you book a homestay, soaking in the local lifestyle and culture through conversations over crackling kitchen fires. To get here, you can hire a taxi from Dharamsala. When you arrive at the village, the Dhauladhar range greets you with a panorama so breathtaking, you’ll find it hard to look away! It is possible to trek to Kareri lake, a perfectly elliptical glacial lake 3.2 km away, with the help of the villagers. The lake is frozen over from November to March.

LIC-SUPPORTING THE GROWTH OF NATION Hemant Bhargava, Zonal Manager (North Zone), shares views on the role of LIC in promoting Digital India campaign, positive impact of demonetisation and safe investment options

Hemant Bhargava, Zonal Manager, North Zone

You took charge as the Zonal Manager, Northern Zone in April this year. How has your professional journey been in the last six months? I took charge of the Northern Zone on April 30, 2016. It comprises the states of Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Haryana, and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Prior to this, I was heading the Eastern Zone. The last six months have been very enriching and interesting. I could juxtapose the experience of Eastern zone as the behavioural patterns and customer preferences are very distinct. In Northern Zone, customers are more inclined towards pension products visà-vis other offerings. Then there is this new multi-benefit plan ‘Bima Diamond’ introduced to mark the Diamond Jubilee year celebrations. The new product has become very popular among the

58 I SHUBH YATRA I JANUARY 2017 SY-Jan17.indb 58

customers in Northern Region. While we were promoting the use of e-transactions as a part of Digital India for last few months, the recent demonetisation has come as a boon for further encouraging our policyholders to avail multi-fold e-services available on our website www. licindia.in. Our valued customers can download android-based ‘LICMOBILE’ application and can avail many online services ranging from payment of premium online to generating mini statements of their policies. All payments to the policyholders can be done through NEFT, which is LIC’s way of promoting cashless transactions, which is simpler, faster, fair and transparent. There are times when unfortunate incidents happen and people are distraught and troubled, like the recent Uri episode. At such times, LIC team swings into action and lives by its dictum of ‘Zindagi ke saath bhi, aur

Zindagi ke baad bhi’. LIC staff rose to the occasion and went the extra mile to serve the policyholders. Prompt and timely initiatives were taken by them to settle the claims of the aggrieved families of the soldiers. How do you plan to take LIC North Zone to the Numero Uno position? Each of our zone is numero uno, in one parameter or another. But yes, there must be healthy competition for more challenges and better productivity and that is happening. Our Marketing teams, Employees, Development Officers, Agents are constantly excelling in their performance to make LIC’s Northern Zone the best zone. Competency Enhancement Trainings have been imparted to improve and sharpen skills of employees at all levels and field force to meet the new challenges of the insurance industry. We are performing very well on the count of number of Policies and have completed nearly 1.44 Million policies collecting 2168.76 crore First Premium Income by November 15, 2016. Our policyholders are our main source of inspiration for this dynamic performance. We are continuously striving to provide new improved services and products to our valued customers. What is the impact of demonetisation on the insurance sector? Steps taken by LIC to handle this situation... Demonetisation has not affected Life insurance sector directly to the extent it has affected cash-intensive sectors. There might be a temporary slowdown in new policies due to less availability of spare cash with the potential policyholders. The premiums collected by agents have around 1/3rd cash component. Collection of this might get delayed a bit. But the positive side of this is that this would promote usage of e-services for payments on agent and customer portals. So the slight negative impact may be there for a short duration but the long-term shift to online payment will be a blessing in disguise. Moreover, the impact on LIC

shubh-yatra.in

is nothing compared to the long-term advantages that this move would have on the overall economy of our country. In fact, LIC has been a forerunner as far as discouraging cash transactions is concerned. There are rules to prevent money laundering. The policyholders who pay premiums in cash in excess of `50,000 have to furnish their permanent account number (PAN). There are other checks and balances relating to cash transactions. Our bancassurance channels collect premium through cheques or online mode. LIC has extended the grace period for policyholders to make payment of renewal premium in the wake of demonetisation move, to ensure that our policyholders do not experience difficulty in paying renewal premiums. We have extended grace period by an additional 30 days for all policies whose premium fell/falls due on or after November 8, 2016 till December 31, 2016. The policyholders are also being encouraged to opt for direct debit from their bank accounts for premium

Our mandate is to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trustee of policyholdersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money and we assure financial protection to our policyholders.

One can gift this pension policy to their parents and grand parents. One can gift Jeevan Akshay VI to his/her children as annuity may start at the age of 30.

A DIFFERENT FUTURE India has the potential to be the hub of innovation, says prominent technocrat Kiran Karnik, adding that success depends on being innovative For some time now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with growing importance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; innovation has been the hot topic in corporate boardrooms. Companies have realised that their growth, even their very survival, in some cases, depends on innovation. This means new and different products, services, processes or business models. But it is not merely the world of business: governments and civil society organisations, too, have recognised the importance of innovation.

fuelled radical social and economic change by conversion into altogether new products. Earlier, ships, railways, cars, aeroplanes wrought changes of immense magnitude. More recently, computers, mobile phones and satellites have done the same. New medicines and medical technology, with their genesis in research centres, have resulted in longer and healthier lives. These, and so many other examples, point to the importance of research as a source of innovation.

For long, breaking new ground was considered the domain of researchers. Discoveries and inventions

Innovation is the key to competitiveness and a major driver of economic growth. Little wonder, then, that organisations and countries are seeking ways of promoting innovation Kiran Karnik

comes from the new use of an existing product. One example, in a light-hearted vein, is the use of a washing machine to produce large quantities of excellent lassi! Innovation may also take the form of a different business model. Well-known contemporary examples are Uber and AirBnB – both providing known services (a hired car and temporary accommodation or hotels) but through an online platform that only links asset owners (cars, rooms) to potential customers. Another example is Google, where the user is not charged for the service, but the provider makes a profit.

business models and products. India is uniquely placed to be a global leader of innovation, thanks to two major factors: adversity and diversity. The former lets us find new ways of bypassing or overcoming obstacles; the latter attunes us to friends and colleagues who eat a different cuisine, look a little different and often speak a different language. “Different” thinking is, therefore, quite acceptable and normal. It is this that ensures the germination and acceptance of new ideas. Protecting and nurturing – even encouraging – diversity is clearly important.

There are many innovations in art and literature, too. An example is the line-drawing of a pair of spectacles topped by a line representing a person’s head. This, with its creative use of negative space, is universally recognised as Mahatma Gandhi. In the field of public policy, one instance is Dubai: a parched desert town just a few decades back now transformed into a major economic power-house by developing itself as an airline hub, financial centre and a major tourist attraction. Similarly, Singapore has constantly redefined itself, reaching an unprecedented level of prosperity.

Despite this widespread propensity for innovation, not all states and cities are equally innovative. A variety of factors – history, climate, policies and ecosystem – affect this. An analysis of various cities and their relative ranking in innovativeness is covered in my book (Crooked Minds: Creating An Innovative Society, Rupa Publications). It looks at how to create an innovative organisation or – the holy grail of many governments – an innovative society. After all, the future is going to depend on innovation, on being “different”.

India has won wide recognition as a potential hub of innovation through frugal engineering, new processes,

s India celebrates its 68th Republic Day on January 26, 2017, the nation is on the verge of a new dawn. Over the past 30 months, after Narendra Modi took over as Prime Minister, the country has seen some remarkable changes. Scores of new programmes have been unveiled by the government to benefit citizens across all sections of society.

to the nation. “It is true that 100 per cent cashless society is not possible, but we can start with a less-cash society - then cashless society will not be a far-off destination.” Finance minister Arun Jaitley recently said that demonetisation will help increase government revenue, besides lowering fiscal deficit. These would enable the government to invest more in defence and rural infrastructure.

Cashless economy One of the most significant changes occurring in India is the transformation of the country into a virtually cashless economy. The demonetisation of two high-currency notes – `500 and `1,000 – was a step in that direction. “Our dream is that there should be a cashless society,” the PM said in a recent radio broadcast

The RBI has also made it easier to use credit/ debit cards for online transactions below `2,000 without second authentication. Experts say the sooner the Indian economy moves to the digital space, the less wastage there will be, along with greater productivity, better evolution and less black money. Digital India The Digital India programme is a flagship initiative of the government to transform the country into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. According to the government, digital technologies, including cloud computing and mobile applications, have emerged as catalysts for rapid economic growth and citizen empowerment across the globe. They are being increasingly used by citizens in their everyday lives. Transparent auctions The new governance paradigm has also seen transparent auctions being conducted, resulting in the government earning billions of rupees. It has also ensured the emergence of India as the world’s number one in attracting FDI. For farmers, the government has launched a Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, a crop insurance scheme, which aims to provide efficient insurance support to them in case of a farm crisis. A National Agriculture Market was also launched by setting up a pan-India electronic trading portal, which networks the existing Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees to create a unified national market for commodities. It provides a single-window service including commodity arrivals and prices, buy and sell trade offers and a provision to respond to trade offers. The government has also launched several apps including Kisan Suvidha, Krishi, Agri Market and Crop insurance, established Kisan call centres and websites such as www.farmer.gov.in. EXIM policy India’s economic revolution also depends on its foreign trade policy known as Export Import Policy (EXIM) as well. With the government launching Single Window Interfaces for registering a business, easing EXIM clearances and labour compliance, India is becoming more attractive to foreign investors. An investor facilitation cell has also been created to assist investors. Overall, exports have increased in the current fiscal and the balance of

A recent study by the Exim Bank of India says that further increase in exports may be the way to generate large-scale employment and therefore, boost the economy. The leading bank offers a wide spectrum of financial services that cater to business across strata to explore new lands and expand their boundaries. It also inspires them to compete in international markets. Youth development The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana is a programme to train the youth in job-oriented skills. It aims to make India the ‘skill capital’ of the world. Start Up India, Skill India and Digital India also form part of the programme for youth development.

The ‘Nari Shakti’ (women’s empowerment) programme is another major initiative of the government. Besides launching a universal helpline, it has set up the Himmat app, ensuring panic buttons and GPS in mobile handsets. Other measures have also boosted women’s role in programmes like the MNREGA, where their participation has gone up from 51.3 per cent in 2012-13 to 56.82 per cent in 2016-17. Several government undertakings have also been involved in organising training programmes for women. In the financial sector, nearly 80 per cent of beneficiaries in the Mudra Yojana are women. Infrastructure A key agenda of the government has been developing infrastructure – roads and highways, power plants, ports, airports and railway lines. About 100 km of rural roads are being constructed everyday under the programme. Indian Railways has also launched a major campaign to modernise its system and ensure a clean and responsive transport service. For power, thousands of solar pumps are being installed all over India.

For instance, MyGov is a unique participatory governance initiative involving citizens. It is an online platform ensuring a healthy exchange of ideas and views involving common citizens and experts. Its aim is to contribute to the social and economic transformation of India. There are nearly two million users in MyGov, many of whom contribute thousands of ideas and suggestions to different departments.

“DEMONETISATION IS A BOLD MOVE” The chairman of State Bank of India tells us why demonetisation is beneficial for the Indian economy How do you see the government’s move to demonetise `500 and `1,000 notes to curb black money? Demonetisation is a bold move by the government aimed at not just weeding out black money from the economy but also restricting other illegal activities like counterfeiting, drug trafficking, and internal insurgency. However there is another reason as to why the government took this measure now. Over the past decade, the ratio of high-denomination notes (500 and 1000) to small-denomination notes had grown disproportionately (86:14 as of November 8). Because of their store-ofvalue function, the circulation of highdenomination notes led to asset price inflation, which distorted the investment priority. Furthermore, once we moved to an inflation-targeting regime, the interplay between real-economy inflation and asset inflation had to be checked. Thus demonetisation was required to reboot the system and free the resources locked up due to asset inflation. Recent research establishes the link between high-currency notes (black money by extension) and income inequality, which could be addressed through demonetisation in order to create balanced, sustainable growth. Is demonetisation the right way to tackle black money? Or could there have been other effective ways to tackle it? Demonetisation is one of the ways to tackle the problem of black money. However its impact will be only on the cash component of the black economy. One of the ways to tackle the problem of black economy is the usage of digital payments, to which we must adapt and also educate others. We need to do a lot more to make sure the objective of a cashless society is realised, with a small measure being the enabling of a literacy mission on digital payments. Banks and the government are extensively promoting digital channels through campaigns in print and electronic media, and we are getting good results. State Bank of India (SBI) is at the

forefront in launching digital channels for ease of transactions by our customers. Our mobile wallet SBI Buddy is a versatile app to facilitate cashless mobile transactions not only for our customers but also non-customers. Within just 20 days after the demonetisation initiative was announced, SBI Buddy’s customer base increased from 52.76 lakh to 74.77 lakh. Imagine the benefits that will accrue (additional tax collections and compliance for India’s development) when all businesses - including small traders/ vendors like sabjiwalla, doodhwalla - use digital transactions, and people no longer use cash. How is the banking sector tackling the problem? Being the largest lender of India, is SBI feeling the heat too? The banking sector has managed the demonetisation move effectively, thanks to its dedicated staff. Though we have faced some strain on day-to-day banking activities because of this exercise, we are getting back to normalcy as currency in circulation is increasing and the queues at banks and ATMs are getting shorter. We have also been encouraging our customers to adopt digital modes of payment and transactions. Besides the host of other Internet- and mobile-based services that are already at the disposal of customers, SBI has also launched

Will demonetisation result in delay in pick-up of private investments? As a matter of fact, demonetisation gives us the rare opportunity to kick start the investment cycle. This is because demonetisation has increased the lendable resources with banks resulting in reduced interest rates for deposits and advances. Thus there is an opportunity to revive investment even if it is somewhat delayed. This, though, is a one-time opportunity, and a sustainable revival requires suitable policy measures. The government has been claiming that there will be short-term pain but in the long-term economy will grow faster. Your views. Flushing out 86% of the legal tender in circulation is bound to cause inconvenience and interruption in the usual flow of commerce. It will have some impact on the growth rate in the coming quarter, as revealed by RBI’s revision of the growth forecast. However, this is only transitory and the situation will improve with the currency coming back into the system. Demonetisation will give the added benefit of bringing the informal cash-dependent economy into the formal fold. This will increase the tax revenue of the government, which can be spent on building productive economic assets. Additionally, this will also encourage a faster shift towards a digital economy that is more efficient and transparent. Demonetisation also allows the pursuit of major reforms – judicial, electoral, bureaucratic and corporate governance. and tax reforms. It is imperative that this opportunity is used to push these reforms and strengthen these institutions. Nobel Laureate Douglas North once said that economies with healthy institutions have long spells of stable economic growth.

From offering better infrastructure to services, India’s cities are becoming better places to live in

Being Swish by stylist Neha Tiwary offers personal styling tips and professional guidance

As India’s urban centres grow, the government plans to make them safer, more efficient and smarter than ever before. The Centre’s Smart Cities Mission is a bold new initiative to set examples of better governance and good life that can be replicated across the country. Some of the cities included in this list are Jaipur, Bhopal, Indore, Raipur and Ujjain. The core infrastructure elements in a smart city include: Adequate water supply Assured electricity Sanitation including solid waste management Efficient urban mobility and public transport Affordable housing, especially for the poor Robust IT connectivity and digitisation Good governance, especially e-Governance and citizen participation Sustainable environment Safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and the elderly Health and education The strategic components in the Smart Cities Mission include city improvement (retrofitting), city renewal (redevelopment) and city extension (greenfield development). Sustainable and inclusive development of cities is another key feature of the project. The government believes that comprehensive development occurs in areas by integrating the physical, institutional, social and economic infrastructure. There is a strong complementarity between the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and Smart Cities Mission in achieving urban transformation. While AMRUT follows a project-based approach, the Smart Cities Mission follows an area-based strategy. The government also believes that great benefit can be derived by seeking convergence of other Central and state government programmes and schemes with the Smart Cities Mission. Several foreign governments are also keen on participating in the smart cities project and have started negotiating with India for the same.

“DEMONETISATION COULD BE A CATALYST” The CMD of Union Bank of India explains why the banking system would gain through demonetisation

Arun Tiwari CMD Union Bank of India

India is said to have the largest number of cash transactions in the world. Can we switch to a cashless economy? What will the advantages be? With a currency-to-GDP ratio of 12 per cent, India’s cash intensity is indeed high. Cash continues to be the dominant medium of exchange for large informal segments of the economy, primarily in un/under-banked areas. Cash is also the preferred medium of exchange in the black economy, as it offers anonymity for transacting parties and thus facilitates tax avoidance. Cashless, rather less-cash economy, on the other hand, promises transparency of the entire transaction process, and thereby better tax compliance leading to expansion of the tax base and tax revenues; also, we save on costs of maintaining cash. Long term benefits of having a cleaner economy and eventually transparent society, which be built on foundation of trust, far outweighs the near term costs of demonetisation. How can India reduce its cash dependence? Do we have the infrastructure for it? India has been making a gradual transi-

74 I SHUBH YATRA I JANUARY 2017 SY-Jan17.indb 74

tion towards less-cash economy. As access to banking deepened over the years, the use of non-cash instruments, like cheques, debit and credit cards, and electronic transfer facilities such as NEFT, RTGS, ECS, and IMPS, has grown multifold. The country has state-of-art digital infrastructure with Aadhaar enrollments and mobile users surpassing the onebillion landmark. Smartphone ownership and mobile internet access is growing exponentially. Internet connectivity is getting better with 2G, 3G and now 4G services. With new retail payments solutions like Unified Payment Interface (UPI) and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), it is feasible to do low-value, high-volume transactions economically, and in a hassle-free manner. We require a big push to migrate people to digital networks. In a month since demonetisation of old high denomination notes, retail payments through UPI and USSD have grown 5X and 7X respectively in both volume and in value terms. Demonetisation could well prove to be a catalyst in the making of Digital India.

opening, tab-based door-step account opening, and 24*7 Comfort Lobby, a full self-service branch. Further, the bank offers a variety of cards like signature credit card, U-Secure credit card, business debit card, gift card, and payroll card. Recently, the bank launched ‘U-control’ App, empowers customers to control and monitor usage of credit cards and not worry about cyber frauds. For rural customers, the bank offers banking facilities like Micro ATMs, SMS banking, missed call banking, and call-centre, which operate 24*7 in nine languages. For tech-savvy youth, the U-Mobile mobile banking app and the Digipurse digital wallet offer secured, convenient ways of doing small-value transactions like mobile recharges, utility payments, and e-commerce transactions. The bank is actively engaging first-time banking customers through rural branches, Bank Mitras, conventional media as well as social media, educating about our various digital offerings and the benefits of doing banking digitally. To amplify the happy experience, the Bank has waived or reduced digital transaction charges.

As one of the largest banks in the country, how prepared is Union Bank in harnessing the digital opportunities in the wake of demonetisation? Digital channels account for over twothirds of our overall transactions, one of the highest in the banking sector. Union Bank has a rich legacy in technological advancement, having pioneered many technology initiatives. We were the first large public sector bank to network all our branches under the core banking solution (CBS) in 2008, launching mobile banking facility in 2009, and Talking ATMs in 2013. Union Bank is one of the first banks to launch UPI facility for customers. The Bank has ATM-to-branches ratio of 1.7:1.

Do you think demonetisation could improve liquidity in banks and thereby help boost the economy? On a net-net basis, the economy would be a beneficiary as the demonetisation would bring more funds to the banking system, thus enabling a downward rally of interest rates, and also, through multiplier effect, could translate into even greater funds available for financing of national priorities. Irrespective of black economy, people in our country keep more cash than is required for transaction purpose forced by habit. As the digital push enhances possibility of greater part of economic agents accepting digital transfers in rural as well as urban centres, people’s requirement of transactional cash would diminish gradually. This would increase resources of banking system and help in financing developmental needs of a growing and aspiring nation.

Union Bank has comprehensive digital offerings for all kinds of customers. For urban customers, the bank has internet banking, mobile banking, online account

PICHVAI CHRONICLES Pichvai painting is seeing a glorious resurgence, being reimagined for contemporary patronage even as it retains its traditional core, says Pooja Singhal

As the sun sets behind the tree-tops, a cow herd leads his cattle down the winding lane, and the tinkling brass bells and clattering hooves transport one back in time. In the bylanes of Rajasthan’s Nathdwara, a small town nestled in the Aravalli hills, time stands still as tales from yore merge with the modern day. The coming together of eras becomes even more prominent in the old locality of Chitrakaron Ki Gully, where a handful of dedicated artists fight to preserve the ancient art of Pichvai painting.

(Facing page) ‘Temple map with forest’ from the Temple Map series showcased at Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2016

Legend has it that the art of Pichvai painting travelled to Nathdwara - now its creative epicentre – from Braj in Uttar Pradesh. They were traditionally commissioned for the temple at Nathdwara. Drawing upon the life of Lord Krishna as the primary subject, Pichvais were hung as life-size or sometimes even larger tapestries to heighten a shrine’s splendour. Several ruling dynasties of Rajasthan patronised the art form.

Ever since I was a little girl growing up in Udaipur, I have been fascinated by the intricate art of Pichvai painting, inspired by my mother’s passion to resurrect the tradition. And though the name literally implies a backdrop (‘pich’ in Sanskrit meaning back and ‘vai’ meaning hanging), there is a lot of complexity embedded in its hand-painted narratives.

Various traditional schools of Pichvai painting from several regions across Rajasthan - such as Mewar, Kota, Bundi and Kishangarh - have influenced what is today called the Nathdwara style. In several Nathdwara Pichvais, the impact of the Kishangarh school is particularly apparent, with an unusually curved and elongated treatment of the eyes in the painted figures. Influences from the Kota school also make their presence felt.

Pronounced a dying Indian tradition not too long ago, the exquisitely detailed Pichvai is now experiencing a glorious resurgence, having found new patrons among high-end interior designers and art collectors. The intricately painted textiles have, over the years, taken on a new role as coveted wall art.

The Deccan style, originating in South India, is distinct from the Nathdwara style and is known for its extravagant use of gold. Deccan-style Pichvais are made by stencilling images on to a piece of cloth and then applying gold foil to them with an adhesive. The preferred canvas of Pichvai artists today is fine mercerised cotton,

The vibrant colours in traditional Pichvais are created using natural dyes that are obtained from ground semi-precious stones PAST AND PRESENT Traditionally, the fabric used for Pichvai paintings was starched and handspun. Colours were derived from ground semi-precious stones. Pichvai art has gained international recognition at auctions and shows. Singhal has been working towards reviving the art and the project ‘Pichvai Tradition and Beyond’ is an attempt to re-interpret Pichvai designs in a contemporary style. One of the innovations she has introduced is changing the size of Pichvais to make them easier to display in smaller spaces.

and smaller works are created on a handmade paper known as basli. A senior artist begins by outlining a pencil sketch and then allocates portions of the Pichvai to be filled in by other artists. The vibrant colours are created using natural dyes obtained from ground semi-precious stones. The time required to produce an original Pichvai varies based on its scale: small to medium-sized Pichvais may take up to 15-20 days and larger Pichvais up to two months. While the time frame may differ, the key to a good Pichvai is the quality of the painting and the finesse of the artist who creates it. It takes years for an artist to hone and refine his craft, and this is where the richness of the art form’s heritage comes from.

Today, Pichvais are not easily found on the streets of Rajasthan, where they were traditionally produced. However, exquisite Pichvais and the artists who create them are highly sought after. Artists who continue to practise the tradition are reinterpreting it - whether in terms of the scale of the paintings or the canvas and colours used. The themes and motifs are also being reimagined, even as the core spirit of devotion remains the same. The visual heritage of Nathdwara has managed to sustain itself over time.

Other than Lord Krishna, temple maps and lotuses are in demand among contemporary patrons. The latter are used during the summer months and are meant to depict a calm atmosphere. Various

festivals also serve as inspiration for Pichvais, with many paintings being centred on the celebration of occasions such as Govardhan Puja, Annakuta, Gopashtami and Sharad Purnima.

WOVEN HEIGHTS The tradition and intricacies of Himachal’s Bhutti weaving lend themselves beautifully to contemporary design sensibilities, says Rajesh Pratap Singh

Every time I have visited the Kullu valley, I have been fascinated by the sight of local women wrapped in their colourful woollen shawls and pattus (a traditional patterned woollen fabric) and the men, with their caps sitting slightly askew on their heads. Each brightly embroidered piece is beautiful but every one different from the other! I have been working with Bhuttico, a reputed weavers’ co-operative in Kullu, for a couple of years, developing fabric for my collections. While the yardages they produce for me are exquisite, I could not quite ignore their traditional patterns. So when The Woolmark Company offered me a chance to design a special line with Bhuttico weavers highlighting their traditional textile, I was thrilled. After months of designing, weaving and a lot of back and forth, when the line of menswear and womenswear was ready, I couldn’t believe the beauty of the pieces. I was delighted, to say the least. The collection gave me the opportunity to delve into their craft in much greater detail than before and, creatively, it was a tremendously satisfying experience. I have always been passionate about the handloom industry. It is my primary source of inspiration and this collaboration has enriched my experience. When Bhuttico was first formed as a cooperative society in 1944, it consisted of 12 weavers from the Bhutti village, who had taken the initiative to come together to nurture their craft and sustain their livelihood. Today, Bhuttico is among the biggest names in the hand-woven shawl industry and has several national awards to its credit, with over 600 weavers and master weavers using their traditional techniques to create stunning shawls, stoles, suiting fabric and much more. Everything they make is hand-woven on their regular

looms and requires a lot of skill. For this collection, I wanted to utilise this traditional skill to create something contemporary and so we’ve used a lot of tweed, among other weaves. Traditionally, you will find a typical colourful pattern on Bhutti shawls and stoles that is only used on the borders. We took that pattern and used it on other parts of the garments too.

HERITAGE AND HISTORY Shawls from the Kullu valley have been produced by hand for hundreds of years. Originally, they were plain without any designs. In the 1940s, patterns inspired by local flora and fauna, and symbols depicting the gods of the valley were introduced. The craftsmen and women of Kullu often spend eight hours on one shawl. More complex pieces can take as long as 45 days. The embroidery is so intricate that it requires the same artisan to work on it till the end.

84 I SHUBH YATRA I JANUARY 2017 SY-Jan17.indb 84

With a collection like this, you are always treading a very fine line between a balanced confluence of tradition and novelty, and an obvious ethnic costume. I wanted to ensure that I never slipped into the latter. The idea was to respect the craft as well as the techniques of these brilliant weavers and make something that is relevant to everyone, everywhere in the world while still retaining its Bhutti identity. So, I experimented with cuts, silhouettes, accessories, capes and drapes, always keeping in mind that each garment needed to look like it belonged to this part of the world.

2. An ensemble from the menswear collection

Using Merino wool gave me even greater liberty to experiment within this framework. I’ve been using it for several years now and it is very versatile. For a collection like this one, that’s the first thing you need from your core fabric. Merino wool is one of those staple, flexible fibres that designers use all over the world because there is no limit to the kinds of things you can do with it, in terms of weave structures, printing techniques, silhouettes and styles. The overall experience of putting together this collection has not been without its challenges, but one thing that really kept me going – besides the creative satisfaction, of course – was my respect for Bhuttico. As an association, it has done a lot for the weavers as well as their craft in Kullu. I admire that and wish it the very best.

EMPOWERING THE POWERHOUSES, SPREADING SMILES IN INDIA MAHANADI COALFIELDS LIMITED (A GOVT OF INDIA ENTERPRISE & SUBSIDIARY OF COAL INDIA LIMITED)

PROJECT PROFILE Out of 51 sanctioned mining projects in MCL, 34 projects (including 2 exhausted projects) have been completed with a capacity of 98.08 MTY and sanctioned capital outlay of `2823.78 crore. There are 17 on-going projects with a capital outlay of `8846.90 Crore with sanctioned capacity of 126.33 Mty. MCL believes in eco-friendly mining and its 91% coal was produced without drilling and blasting. The company has been pioneer in introducing environment-friendly technology, like Surface Miner and Ripper Dozer while 80 % of its dry fuel was transported through rail mode.

Coal caters to around 30% of the global primary energy needs and it helps generate 40% of the world’s electricity. In the Indian context, the importance of coal is comparatively higher than the global average. Coal continues to dominate the energy scene in 21st Century and contributes to about 77% of India’s total energy electricity generation. To meet the future expectation, there is colossal responsibility in augmenting the coal production. As the flagship company of Coal India Ltd., Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) has the onerous responsibility towards making the country energy efficient and energy sufficient. On April 3, 1992, MCL was born as the youngest subsidiary of ‘Maharatna’ Coal India Limited, with headquarters at Sambalpur (Odisha). Managing the Talcher and Ib Valley coalfields in Odisha, the company has been accorded the status of Mini-Ratna Category-I by the Govt. of India.

DIVERSIFICATION Diversification is the key to future growth. Diversification for maximising growth opportunities by expanding business operations, while utilising the core capabilities and leveraging core facilities is the business strategy of MCL. Towards gainful utilisation of coal deposits at Basundhara Area in Sundergarh district of Odisha, MCL has envisaged coal-based Thermal Power Plant of 1600(2X800) MW with super-critical technology. Mahanadi Basin Power Limited (MBPL), formed for this purpose, has achieved several milestones towards installation of power plant. MCL has formed joint venture company named Mahanadi Coal Railway Ltd (MCRL) with Indian Railway and Govt. of Odisha with focus on development of infrastructure required for un-interrupted supply of coal by rail to meet the energy requirement of the nation. Besides, the Company has successfully installed 2 MW Photovoltaic Solar Power Plants at Anand Vihar, Burla, Sambalpur to mark its presence in the renewable energy sector.

OVERVIEW OF MCL PERFORMANCE 2015-16 MCL has been able to perform exceedingly well during the year 201516, achieving a record coal production of 137.90 million tonnes (MTe.) and registering a growth of 13.61% over the previous year. Coal off-take of MCL during the period was 140.22 million tonnes, which showed a growth of 14.01% as compared to financial year ended March 2015.

MANAGEMENT BY VALUE Process innovations and new initiatives are the most critical success factors for any organisation. MCL has initiated many changes in business processes right from production to dispatch of coal. MCL pioneers in institution building and it stands apart in Coal India when it comes to technology-driven environment-friendly mining or e-mode of tendering for procurement or other contracts. It is the first Indian coal company to introduce auto-refund of EMD for unsuccessful bidders/suppliers on-line.

MCL has also shown better performance and has recorded Gross Sales of `20599.85 (including STC) and Profit after Tax has been `4184.74 Crore for the year. Dividend of `19,358.54 per equity share on a face value of `1,000.00 per share has been recommended for the year as compared to `20,610.52 per equity last year.

In the course of remarkable journey of 25 years, Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) has incessantly strived to incorporate and adopt the best practices and operational excellence in all its pursuits. It is my proud privilege to inform that the company has achieved the distinction of being number one Subsidiary of Coal India Limited by achieving the highest ever coal production of 137.9 million tonnes and registering a growth of over 13.61% over last financial year. MCL is the only PSU having double digit growth in terms of production of Coal, OB removal and off-take of Coal.’’

Mr Anil Kumar Jha Chairman & Managing Director, MCL

For the first time in Coal India, e-tendering has been introduced by MCL to finalise tender for setting-up of coal washery with a view to expediting the evaluation process of washery tenders and minimizing human intervention in identifying lowest bidder, thereby making the overall process more transparent. GPS-based VTS (Vehicle Tracking System) units have been installed in 1800 private trucks/ tippers engaged in production and internal transportation of coal. Geo-fencing of the mine boundary along with the routes have been done for tracking the vehicles if they are crossing the geo-fence boundary. Central Control Rooms have been set up at MCL-HQs and at all the Area Offices. An uniform ERP (CoalNet) across 2700 sq. km in MCL through OFC/Radio network link has been established. Fuel management system has also been introduced to avoid diesel theft. Logging of online complaint has been made available on the Company’s website. SAFETY ‘Safe Mining’ is one of the core capabilities of MCL which has been attained through continuous practice of safety methods and techniques. With the aim of ‘Zero Accident’ target, MCL prepares, plans, and equips itself on a regular basis to ensure that the ‘Zero Accident’ target is best achieved and becomes the motivating force for the employees to be more productive. The efforts include making available proper safety equipment, training, R&D and strict monitoring of safety related compliances. To overcome any un-anticipated happenings during mining operations, the Company has fully equipped all its rescue stations and has deployed sufficient rescue trained workforce. REHABILITATION & RESETTLEMENT MCL is committed to helping the Project affected / displaced families during execution of the projects. It has been making efforts to improve the socio economic status of Project Affected Families and is committed to the development which are reflected in its R&R Policy. MCL follows the R&R Policy of the state of Odisha and has provided 307 employments during 2015-16 and total number of 12163 employments since inception. MCL is acting on the advice of RPDAC towards redressal of grievances related to land oustees. Resettlement colonies have been set up with pucca roads, street

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ( CSR ) MCL has hugely invested in CSR to uplift the progress of people and key focus has been on fulfilling the basic requirements. It has allocated `112.97 Crore for the year 2015-16 @ 2% of the Net Profit based on the average last three years towards CSR activities as per Coal India and MCL’s CSR policy. The amount spent under CSR during financial year 2015-16 is `184.64 Crore. According to a White Paper published by Forum for Integrated Development and Research (FIDR), MCL has been rated as No.1 Corporate House in terms of CSR spending in the state of Odisha. An amount of `240 crore has been earmarked under Swachh Vidyalaya Abhiyan. MCL has also embarked on the construction of Mahanadi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (MIMSR), Talcher, at an estimated cost of `492.62 Crore. This state-of-the-art medical institute will have a 100-seat medical college with 500-bedded multi-specialty hospital.

OF ROADS AND OFF ROADS Venturing off the tarmac might not be everyone’s cup of tea but, cocooned inside a luxury SUV with all the bells and whistles, you have nary a worry, says Gaurav Nagpal I love to drive, and for me, a low-slung, sporty sedan is it! Hugging the tarmac, pedal mashed to the floor, speedo needle continually moving clockwise, occasionally punctuated by the smell of smoking tyres and the screeching of brakes – nirvana could be described thus. Plonk me in one such car, and I’ll be off to find my heaven. But what happens when my path is interspersed with rocks, ruts, ditches, stones and all manner of obstacles? Or, I have to swim through deep waters or trudge through fresh snow? Does that mean my nirvana is gone forever? Would that be the end of my dream? Not quite – if I were to be sitting at the wheel of a luxury SUV, a category that has gained a

lot of traction in India in recent years. From the US to Europe to Asia, the best of what the SUV world has to offer is now available on our shores. I recently had the chance to experience three outstanding specimens from this category, and I sure was pleased as punch at the end of it. I kicked off my experience with the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the newest addition to the company’s impressive SUV lineup in India. Need anything more be said if the three-pointed star adorns the car I drive? The GLC certainly is one of the best-looking SUVs in its class, a true thing of beauty. The slightly squat stance is somewhat at odds with “traditional” SUV design cues, but design is – by definition – continuously evolving,

OPEN HOUSE auto and the GLC fits in neatly with the appreciation for fine, curved surfaces balanced with muscular lines. I cast a glance at the familiar Mercedes-Benz face, let my eyes wander around the sides, past the flared wheel arches, and to the back of the SUV, with the glorious stainless steel twin-pipe exhaust system. Ah, the spoils of luxury! And it continues inside too, with every inch spelling quality and aesthetics. The seats are encased in Artico leather, and are fully power-adjustable in the front, with lumbar support as well. And, when I want the wind-in-my-hair feeling, or just want to admire the stars in the night, I push a button and the sunroof slides open. There is no third row of seats, though, so I cannot carry more than four passengers along with me.

Nobody does offroad quite like the Disco! It’s not for nothing that Land Rover has an iconic stature, and you feel it every time you drive this SUV

I thumb the start/stop button, and the GLC wakes up, with a muted sound from under the bonnet. On the road, it is quick to accelerate, with that petrol engine delivering a satisfying growl. The stance and the suspension and handling setup also means that it handles very well on the road, with quick turns and direction changes not unsettling it or causing any discomfort to its passengers. Go off the road into SUV territory, though, and it is not quite so smooth. It manages every climb, decline, and obstacle with alacrity, but a rough surface peters right through the tyres to my body, and makes for an off-road ride that is slightly

uncomfortable. A smooth carpeted ride this does not offer off the tarmac, and that is a bit of a turn-off. The next SUV I have a date with, comes from a brand that has possibly the strongest credentials when it comes to off-road prowess – Land Rover. The Discovery Sport is instantly recognisable as an SUV, with its tall, upright stance and impressive ground clearance. A walk around the Disco gives me the impression of neat design language – this SUV does not go for the in-your-face look with multiple curves and edges, preferring clean lines with some edgy hints thrown in for good measure. It certainly looks impressive when I view it from a distance. Even before I get in, when I unlock the car via the remote, the lights under the sideview mirrors switch on, illuminating the patch of road just outside the door; these also stay on for a little while when I turn off the Disco. Thank you, Land Rover – I am definitely not going to be stepping into any puddles or ditches as I enter or exit the Disco. I step inside – nay, climb inside – to a commanding view out the front windscreen, and the air of luxury all around. The funky bit that instantly catches my attention is the rotary drive mode selector knob, lying recessed in the centre console. When I thumb the start/stop button, it rises from seemingly nowhere – definitely cool! The Disco gets extra props for its two-seater third row of seats, folded away neatly into the floor. Yes they are

One of India’s highest-selling luxury SUVs, the Toyota Fortuner packs its commendable off-road prowess within a new design and even more features

not comfortable for tall adults, but at a pinch, I can squeeze in more people if I need to. The engine itself is quite sporty, and the snarl from under the bonnet is addictive, encouraging me to rev it hard. Picking up speed is easy; what is not, though, is a quick overtaking manoeuvre, because of the slow-shifting automatic gearbox, and gearshifts are not much quicker in Sport mode. So I can forget about scooting ahead of a slow-moving vehicle in front before another excitable driver beats me to it, as most drivers are prone to. And high-speed turns are a tad disconcerting, because there is a fair bit of body roll. Venture off the road, though, and the Disco is in its element – there is not one obstruction that can faze it. “Magic carpet ride” does not quite capture how good the ride quality is, with the Disco just pummelling away every obstacle to keep me ensconced in comfort. And I can make a choice from among different off-road settings for grass, gravel and snow, mud and ruts, and sand, along with a raft of other electronic aids to aid my ride. I round off my SUV experience with one of India’s highest-selling luxury SUVs, the Toyota Fortuner. The first generation was a hot-seller, and the recently launched new Fortuner seeks to continue that glory. It’s tall stance is in line with a proper SUV, though gone with the design update are the very bits that ap-

106 I SHUBH YATRA I JANUARY 2017 SY-Jan17.indb 106

pealed to me personally. The bold, boxy, in-your-face look is gone, in favour of edgy styling that does not really stand out in the crowd. Acres of space are on offer inside, with fine leather and metal accents giving the luxury touch. And yes – there is a tight two-seater third row seat, to carry the brood. The Fortuner’s competence off the road is well known – it performs excellently where the road ends and the ruts begin. Every surface becomes smooth as silk, and I can feel the power at my command (in both petrol and diesel variants) – nudge the accelerator and it surges forward. To aid me on less-than-perfect surfaces, I can call on downhill assist control, hill assist control, and low- and high-range four-wheel-drive modes. On the road too, the Fortuner makes for a good experience, though the tall stance means there is a lot of body roll when I go fast around turns. There is so much choice available in luxury SUVs now - “spoilt for choice” captures it perfectly, and these three are among the best. Pick the GLC if you want stunning looks and a car-like experience that you might not want to take to the worst off-road surfaces; go for the Disco if you want a piece of heritage from one of the best brands in off-roading; and drive away in the Fortuner if you wish to own one of India’s highest-selling and relatively affordable luxury SUVs. Tarmac or no tarmac – here I come!

ROAD TO SUCCESS With abundant mineral wealth and investment opportunities galore, Jharkhand is on its way to becoming one of India’s most promising states

Raghubar Das has big plans for the development of Jharkhand. Despite growing up in a factory worker’s family, Mr Das has always had an eye on the future. With nearly 40 years’ experience in active politics, he has now successfully completed two years as the chief minister of Jharkhand. His accomplishment is evident from the rousing reception he was given by investors at various metropolitan cities in India and abroad during investment roadshows. He tells K Kaushalendra why he believes Jharkhand has the potential to become one of the most developed states of India. Mr Das is passionate about the growth potential of Jharkhand and derives a lot of confidence from the growth that has already come about within the state. “We are doing very well with development,” he says. Political stability and responsible policy-making have been the vanguard of Jharkhand’s re-jigged business environment, he adds. He continues, “Jharkhand, in a sense, is the backbone of the Make in India mission since it holds 40 per cent of India’s natural mineral wealth and is on track to become the country’s power hub by 2019. It is the most investment-ready state with crystal clear vision and a robust roadmap ahead. We rank among the best, in terms of business reforms, and have instituted the best practices to fast-forward investments based on DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion) guidelines. It is my privilege to work in tandem with our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji on the central government’s vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas.” Good governance, speedy implementation, brisk decision-making, abundant and undisputed resources — these are the intrinsic ingredients that empower the trajectory of Jharkhand’s current economic agenda. “We aim to ace the systemscompliance agenda and also strive to bring the most promising investment proposals

108 I SHUBH YATRA I JANUARY 2017 SY-Jan17.indb 108

to Jharkhand,” reveals the chief minister. The state has implemented a Single-Window Clearance System (SWS) for faster and one-point clearance of industrial projects, single-point dissemination of industrial projectrelated information and streamlining of inspection of industries by different authorities. “Jharkhand is ushering in an era of industrial growth and is geared up to showcase its enormous potential to the national and international investment communities in order to attract suitable investments,” Mr Das says.

Jharkhand, in a sense, is the backbone of the Make in India mission since it holds 40 per cent of India’s natural mineral wealth. It is the most investment-ready state with crystal clear vision and a robust roadmap ahead

Mr Raghubar Das Chief Minister, Jharkhand

Current investment opportunities in Jharkhand appear promising. The state’s enormous mineral wealth, plentiful land, water and forests have been the catalysts for its regeneration and over the last two years, a stable leadership and policies encouraging industrial development and economic growth have played a crucial role. A CII report reveals that, ‘In the current financial year, Jharkhand has signed the ‘first stage memorandum of understanding (MoU)’ worth `70,460 crore with 10 entities. This includes `50,000 crore investments in power and fertiliser by Adani Group. The GSDP at current prices for 201516 stood at ` 2,41,955 crore with a growth rate of 11.44 per cent over the previous year.’ The services sector has also kept up its pace. Its share of contribution to the GSDP has grown from 33 per cent in 2004-05 to about 49 per cent in 2015-16.

Jharkhand is on a fast track to becoming India’s top power hub by 2019. Over the next four years, the state is looking at significant investment in transmission networks to the tune of `9,000 crore, and in the development of distribution infrastructure to the tune of ` 9,600 crore to facilitate power evacuation and seamless power availability 24x7. A total of 12.3 GW of additional capacity is intended to be installed by 2018, with the state government being responsible for over 11 GW. On the renewable front, the Jharkhand State Energy Policy 2015 intends an energy capacity addition of over 2.6 GW by 2019. Mr Das firmly believes that a bright future awaits Jharkhand. He is leaving no stone unturned to highlight the state’s brand image internationally. He has toured USA and Singapore recently to bring in foreign investment. He says, “We have created excellent industrial policies, with excellent incentives for different sectors including electronics, automobiles, agroprocessing, tourism etc.” Encouraged by Jharkand’s growing potential for investment and the excellent response its road shows have received from the business community in the domestic market, the chief minister aims to establish Jharkhand as a premier investment destination for both foreign as well as domestic investors at the Momentum Jharkhand Global Investors Summit slated

Momentum Jharkhand Global Investors Summit 2017 will showcase the business opportunities available in Jharkhand’s primary sectors of growth to be held on 15–16 February, 2017 in the state’s capital, Ranchi. Momentum Jharkhand Global Investors Summit 2017 will showcase the huge business opportunities available in the state’s primary sectors of growth — automobiles and ancillary units, energy infrastructure, electronic systems design and manufacturing (ESDM), agriculture, food and food processing, forests and environment, healthcare and medical education, industrial infrastructure, mines and minerals, education and skill development, smart cities, and textiles and tourism. Mr Das points out, ‘Jharkhand has a population of 33 million, with over 40 per cent under the age of 14 and over 70 per cent under 35. With promising demographic potential and a network of highly reputed education and research institutions, the

industrial and socio-economic future of the state is bright. We intend to strengthen our reputation through investments in institutional development and capacity building, for which there is great demand.” Jharkhand ranks third in terms of mineral production in India, backed by the fact that it is the in situ repository of 40 per cent of the country’s mineral wealth. The mining sector continues to have high potential for lucrative investments. Investment projects include a Gems and Jewellery Park at Ranchi, Aluminium Park at Muri and Latehar, Ceramic Park at Dhanbad, Sahebganj and Deoghar, and a Steel Park at Kharsawan and Jamshedpur. The automobile ancillaries, precision, electronically and computer-operated machine tools and farm equipment also have enormous potential for employment generation in Jharkhand. Earmarked for further investment and infrastructural upgrades, the tourism industry is being positioned as an excellent avenue for employment opportunities (directly or indirectly), upping foreign exchange earnings and economic development. The chief minister concludes, “Nikle the jab ghar se toh manzil pe nazar thi, humne kabhi meel ka patthar nahin dekha.” JANUARY 2017 SHUBH YATRA I 109

The Binalong bay in Tasmania, Australia, is also known as the Bay of Fires due to the orange algae that grows on the rocks in this region

Imagine an island where festivity and quietude are woven seamlessly into each other. Where you can drive along vast stretches that alternately boast stunning scenes, bustling activity and delicious nibbles across a landscape dotted with picture-perfect bays, quaint villages, busy markets, spirited musicians, awe-inspiring rock formations and so much more... welcome to Tasmania, a beautiful, multifaceted island-state in Australia. Any trip to Tasmania should begin on the Spirit of Tasmania, a 29-tonne ferry that you can board at Melbourne or Sydney for a tantalising preview to the island. It’s considerably longer – 10 hours from Melbourne or 21 hours from Sydney – but Tasmania is Australia’s Holiday Isle, and what better way to travel to a vacation island

across the Bass Strait than aboard a luxurious ferry with lively bars, gourmet restaurants, chilled-out lounges and gaming areas? Tasmania is known for its fickle weather and we arrived to an overcast day. Our first day’s drive to Strahan via the Cradle Valley National Park remains a soggy memory, but the next day more than made up for it. I awoke to a beautiful sunny day and stepped out on to the deck of the yacht we were staying on. We had to get to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, 300 km away, because it was Saturday and the Salamanca Place market - reputed to be the most happening street market in the entire continent – would be waiting for us there. The drive firmly reassured me that if you like being at the wheel of a car, driving holidays are the way to go.

that were all part of that fantastic three-and-a-half hour drive. When we arrived at Salamanca Place, it was bustling with an infectious buzz as shoppers browsed and bargained at an array of stalls set up by locals. The market has its central focus on organic produce, from fruits and vegetables to breads and pastries. There are also handicrafts, sandwiches, toys, tea and more, not to forget the buskers – hobby musicians ranging from an eight-year-old girl playing her clarinet to an eight-man band delivering a concert - who add a delightful charm to the overall feel of the place. As I made an exit from the market and began to roam the streets of Hobart, I realised that the city had an old-world charm with a strong colonial touch. Bruny Island, a short distance away, is home to Adventure Bay, the landing point of Captain James Cook, before his voyage to Hawaii. And it is simply too pretty for words. The road on it runs through the middle of a narrow neck of land, which means there are stunning views of the blue sea on both sides. When we drove from Hobart to Port Arthur, our first stop was Richmond, about 25 km away. This town’s most famous construction is the Richmond Bridge, Australia’s oldest bridge across the Coal river, dating back to 1823. As you drive on, you can sample strawberries at the Sorell fruit farm, stop for a quick walk at the Tasman Peninsula National Park and then at the Tessellated Pavement, a natural floor of volcanic rock tiles tempered by the ocean through the ages. Further on, as you cross the narrow isthmus of Eaglehawk Neck, you can get yourself a delicious lunch of hot Tasmanian pies and blue, creamy Boysenberry ice cream near Devil’s Kitchen and Tasman Arch, both erosion-formed rock wonders.

The route to Hobart takes you along the boundary line of Cradle Mountain and Franklin–Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. The road itself is smooth and grippy tarmac that winds itself across the hills.

Port Arthur was once a prison colony and today, its ruins look their dramatic best when the setting sun gives the yellow stone a golden hue. If you are a believer in spirits and the afterlife, the 45-minute lantern-lit ghost tours held late in the evenings may fascinate you. I have no qualms about stating that the conviction and authenticity with which our tour guide spoke about the ghosts that have been seen in the vicinity made me move to the centre of the group, so I was safely surrounded by souls still trapped within a physical form.

Our next two days were spent driving along Tasmania’s West Coast, a heady cocktail of terrific roads that alternate between running along the Tasman Sea and through rainforests, leading you to picture-postcard bays – the Wineglass Bay, Coles Bay and the Bay of Fires. Then there is the wholesome fresh produce from land and sea alike that will greet you at charming little pubs present in all the little towns the drive takes you through. By the time we drove into Launceston, our car had already clocked 2,000 km around Tasmania. We spent the remaining day-and-a-half exploring the Tamar river region, tasting cheese, sampling salmon and savouring the distinct taste of leatherwood honey at the Chudley honey farm. At the end of our

journey, we beheld the brilliant colours of dusk, sipping on chilled Riesling and basking in the rustic ambience of Stillwater - one of Tasmania’s most rewarded restaurants housed inside a restored 1830s’ flour mill on the banks of the Tamar river. We raised a toast to the setting sun as it brought to an end the eight fascinating days we’d spent on this stunning island that is one of Australia’s most underrated destinations - a magical place that richly rewards the traveller who takes the time to explore it at length.

ROYAL VISIT Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is all set to visit India again, this time as the chief guest at the Republic Day parade, 2017

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the former's residence in February 2016

tepping up its engagement with the Gulf region, especially the UAE, India will host Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as the chief guest of its Republic Day in January 2017, less than a year after his first visit to India following up on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to UAE in August last year. On the Prince's previous visit, PM Modi had personally greeted him at the Delhi airport. This is not the first time that a leader of that stature from the Gulf is visiting India. The King of Saudi Arabia was

the chief guest for India's Republic Day in 2006. In 2013 too, the Sultan of Oman was meant to be the chief guest, but he had to opt out on grounds of poor health. We could be expecting a paradigm shift in India-UAE bilateral relations. The selection of Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan as the chief guest shows the Indian government’s special focus on the Emirates of late. The UAE was the first Gulf region PM Modi chose to visit and it was the first bilateral visit to the UAE by an Indian Prime Minister in three decades. PM Modi has been

reaching out to the Middle East during his tenure and this invitation marks a strong statement of intent to engage the Arab world. During his two years at the helm, the Indian Prime Minister's visits to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Iran and other neighbouring countries has heralded a transformation in India’s strategic orientation towards the Middle East. The UAE has also responded positively to India’s quest to obtain investment from the region towards modernising India’s infrastructure. The UAE has already said that it will invest $75 billion in the long term, for the same.

AIR INDIA ROUTE It was at the bustling mainline junction of New Jalpaiguri in 2002, where I first set my eyes on the little three-carriage Darjeeling toy train, looking a little overwhelmed by its much bigger neighbours. The train, part of the popular Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR), is rightly world famous. For 135 years the little Britishbuilt steam locomotives have been puffing their way up 7,000 ft to the popular hill station of Darjeeling. For the first 20 km (approximately) of the journey, the route is flat and mainly urban, passing through the city of Siliguri, where the Siliguri Town station (Siliguri’s oldest station) is the DHR’s original southern terminus. But then, after passing the first tea estates at the attractive gabled station at Sukna, the line starts to climb steeply and continues to do so right up to the

summit at India’s highest railway station - Ghum (7,407 ft) - and where there is an excellent museum on the railway. As the train chugged away, leaving the city behind, I started reliving a glorious past. It took three years to build the DHR and it opened in 1881, around 60 years after Darjeeling had been established as a hill station. The 2-ft gauge track was laid alongside the steep, winding Hill Cart Road and where the gradient was too steep for the trains, loops and reverses were constructed for an easier route. It was an engineering triumph and it transformed the economy of Darjeeling up the line went foodstuffs, coal and machinery, and downhill went the output of the ever-expanding tea estates for export around the world. Not for nothing is the Darjeeling brew known as the ‘Champagne of teas’. The Railway was declared

The Darjeeling toy train at Batasia Loop

Darjeeling and the toy train have always been an intrinsic part of Indian films. Songs such as Mere sapno ki rani from Aradhana (1969) to Kasto maza from Parineeta (2005) were shot on board the toy train, and movies like Satyajit Ray’s Kanchenjungha (1962), Gulzar’s Mausam (1975) and Anurag Basu’s Barfi! (2012) are among the many films that have been partially shot in Darjeeling.

Before he shot to fame with his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the television series Sherlock, actor Benedict Cumberbatch spent some time in Darjeeling. In an interview to a London-based journal, he said, “I’d always done slightly crazy things like getting lost on treks in the Himalayas when I was 19. In my gap year, I was teaching English to Buddhist monks in a Nepali home near Darjeeling.”

Darjeeling also has one of India’s oldest mountaineering museums. Established by the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in 1957, the Everest Museum houses interesting memorabilia, camping gear and mountaineering equipment used by bravehearts who have successfully scaled Everest. Tenzing Norgay, who conquered the peak with Edmund Hillary, was the first director of field training at HMI.

After it opened in 1881, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was hailed as an engineering triumph and changed the economy of the quaint hill station a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999, only the second railway in the world to have this honour bestowed upon it. As the train’s ascent began, so did the adventure! No less than six times does the train have to reverse as it climbs through the zig-zags or squeals round the endless tight curves, sometimes on the ledge of the hillside and other times squeezing past trackside houses only inches away from the little carriages. The train snakes through verdant tea gardens set against striking peaks and a panoramic view of the deep valley. At Kurseong, we took a short break for a leg-stretch. In former times it’s said that the trains would pause here, not just for refreshments but also for travellers to change their lightweight clothing for attire more suited to the chilly mountain air awaiting them. But all too soon it was time for our train to press on up the hills, passing through Kurseong Bazar. The Buddhist prayer flags fluttering high up in the mountain add to the feeling of having arrived in the Himalayas.

122 I SHUBH YATRA I JANUARY 2017 SY-Jan17.indb 122

On its way back, after threading its way through the busy streets of Darjeeling, the train starts to climb, hooting and scattering road vehicles as it ascends the steep gradient leading up to the line’s best viewpoint at Batasia Loop. From here, on a clear day, the Himalayas can be seen in all their snowcapped glory. Then, after a short photo stop at the impressive Gurkha War Memorial, the little train continues on its way up to Ghum. For those short on time, a good way to sample the DHR is to take one of the daily Toy Train Joy Rides – some diesel-hauled, although the more expensive steam services are always the more popular (even if you run the risk of smoke and soot!). But arriving in Darjeeling on the train heightens the mystery of the hill station, with stunning views of the Himalayas overlooking the old town. Truly, one of the world’s great railway journeys!

Jharkhand can serve to widen the spectrum of tourists too. Besides Deoghar, Parasnath and Maluti, there is a lot to see and experience. On the eco-tourism front, there are sanctuaries at Dalma and Betla; for nature tourism, there is Netarhat and Massanjore. Given Jharkhand’s mineral and mining wealth, the state is also prominent in the mining tourism sector, following the likes of countries such as South Africa and Australia. The state is well known for its heritage of art and crafts. The

oldest cave paintings in India - scroll paintings - have been attributed to a Jharkhand tribe by art historians. All media channels are being partnered for disseminating the marketing information. It is not always quantity, but also quality and positioning that are crucial. Jharkhand will be appropriately positioned to attract tourists separately for all categories of tourism - nature and wildlife enthusiasts, leisure travellers, pilgrims and so on. The private sector will also be engaged in developing tourism assets and infrastructure in the state.

These tireless efforts are resulting in a remarkable increase in terms of tourist footfall. These days, opinion makers within the tourism fraternity including tour operators, hoteliers and bloggers are creating a positive impact. Now, Jharkhand has evolved as a preferred destination on the tourism map of India.

Offering original works of a generation of 20th-century Indian artists from the post-Independence decades and also of younger contemporary artists, the museum didn’t only chronicle the history of Indian art, but also brought it closer to the masses. With showcases by the likes of Dayanita Singh, Himmat Shah, Jeram Patel and KG Subramanyan, the Shiv Nadar Foundation-funded initiative also regularly hosts talks and interactive sessions with influential voices in the art world, in collaboration with artists, fellow arts organisations, schools, colleges, NGOs and trusts.

It is often said that art embodies a journey of perpetual learning, leading one to discover more about oneself as time goes by. Along with my own journey with the sitar, over the last few years especially, I have found myself beginning to connect many different pieces of myself together. Music is intrinsic to my life in ways that are beyond the realm of the obvious and the tangible. It is almost like a language I speak, its vocabulary enabling me to articulate reflections and emotions that no other language can quite encompass. My most recent album, Land of Gold, for instance, was born out of the need to channel a sense of distress that had taken over me at one point in my life. Writing the album coincided with the birth of my second son. I was extremely troubled with the contrast between my ability to care for my baby and what millions of people were going through, not being able to provide the same kind of security for their children, under nightmarish circumstances. Here, my music was a constructive way for me to channel everything I was feeling - to express and explore my emotional response to the trauma I was watching unfold before my eyes every day. I believe that art can make a difference and music has the power to speak to the soul. It is important for people who believe in the power of connection, to speak out at times like these - especially when they are surrounded by isolationism and mistrust. At the time, there was one truth that I was attempting to deal with – that the world was going through a huge upheaval and the number of people being affected was shocking. It’s still happening today, in fact. The emotions this notion

gave rise to within me, began to seep into my days in the studio. My personal response was strong for two reasons. First, the fact of how fortunate I was, growing up in a multicultural environment that is the key to who I am and what I do, was something I had been taking for granted. I grew up across three continents and am able to travel around the world as I please. By virtue of the passport I have and where I happened to be born, a lot has been available to me. But the idea that some people have access to all this while it is denied to many others, felt wrong in a very fundamental, hard-hitting way. I had just become a mother again, and that phase in any woman’s life is a really emotional, profound and vulnerable time. To watch images of children suffering and their parents trying to give them safety and shelter in contrast to everything I was being able to do for my children - that contrast had never felt so stark to me before. That was how the album was born. As the tracks came along, I also found chances to work with a lot of people who understood what I was attempting to articulate and let me weave their musical dialects into mine, so that I could create something truly expressive and diverse. Collaboration has always been important to me, from the very beginning of my career, and I’ve had wonderful experiences over the last decade of working in tandem with musicians from various cultures. There are many challenges to working with music that straddles several varied styles, and my attempt is to push even further in the crossover space to create a new genre-free soundscape where instruments and cultures are

symbiotic and have something meaningful to say together. Music is, after all, a universal language but it can be argued that every genre has its own essence, so to speak - its own ethos and its own sensibilities in some sense. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with crossgenre collaborations, bringing together electronic, jazz, hip-hop, minimalism, Indian classical sounds and more, each element brings something of its own to the table and takes what you create to a new level.

As much as I love working with people from wonderfully diverse cultures and travelling across the globe, my roots lie firmly in India â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is why it always feels wonderful to come back here with every new album I create. India is one of the places I call home. I lived and went to school in Delhi for several years, and the city remained a base for me through my teenage years into my twenties. I also have a relationship with Kolkata and Chennai due to my Bengali and Tamil parents. Then there is Mumbai, where I have so many friends; Bengaluru, where I have family; Goa, where I have spent many

amazing winters... Whenever someone asks me how I remember my childhood in India, I wonder: how to pick a memory! There are simply too many. I launched my book about my father in Delhi when I was 20 and it was the first time fashion designer Manish Arora custom-made clothes for me. I felt like a princess and was so proud to have released a book of my own! In Goa, around the turn of the millennium, I used to be able to go completely incognito, letting my hair down with my friends. Dancing the way I did there is one of my most favourite things in the world. And my father used to get especially nostalgic whenever we travelled to Mumbai for a concert. Everywhere we drove, he was constantly pointing out the locations of beautiful memories. I loved hearing his stories that would surface whenever we came back to India and will carry them with me through the rest of my life, along with some beautiful stories of my own.

LONG-TERM REBUILDING GAIL works for Uttarakhand's rehabilitation To address the major concern of long-term rebuilding of the areas of Uttarakhand affected by the catastrophic floods in 2013, GAIL recently implemented Project Srijan (creation). Working with clusters of 10-15 villages, Project Srijan was aimed at creating models of holistic development that could be replicated in other affected areas. The project adopted a multi-pronged strategy that addressed the key issues of rehabilitation of communities, encouraging disaster-proof construction technologies, livelihood sustenance and enterprise, increasing awareness about emergency response and facilitating other mitigating services for disasters. Project Srijan was undertaken for a period of four years, with the major components of the project being capacity building, livelihood sustenance, infrastructure and asset creation, and disaster management and mitigation. While the trauma of losing everything to the fury of nature has not been completely erased, people are now better equipped to rebuild their lives. Just as darkness gives way to light, Project Srijan helped the ravaged valley shed its long spell of despair with the breaking of the dawn of hope.

SANDHIYA MEHHTA

Numerologist and Vastu consultant with activated Third Eye

2017 is an era changing event which will be the milestone to lot of beginnings and changes, specially because it will bring a decade of change numerologically. Consult with Sandhiya Mehhta on how this affects you and your numbers and use this as an opportunity to plan your future.

The only Successful Numerologist, to have devised Self-Help remedies for your fortune for your prosperity, growth and sustainable success. Are you aware about your Past, present and future?

The curious case of 4 & 8 “In my research, nearly 70% people are connected to these numbers, and this loop then influences your further generations too.’ disappoi One usually guards themselves because we have all heard a lot about disappointments and delays, sorrows and hardships of 4 & 8 and with 7 they form a trio of these energies. But I see them powerful steroids, to be handled carefully. Then I will channelize it to positive planning and maximise your fortune’s profits. Feel blessed if you belong to them, we will empower your life and, learn through 4 & 8 and reap more fruits of your hard work than you would have previously did. Handle your energies well, because only in the right hands they will empower with 4 & 8. The other numbers & their destiny Individually every number has its massive merits but if it doesn’t get the support of your fadic/destiny number it cannot do much for you. 1, 9, 5 & 3 are very powerful numbers and should get magnanimous success as per individual calculations, but if you are still struggling and have faced certain problems you should try and understand your state of energies and detangle the web, to create a free path for your future. dif We all are a mix of many numbers, their combinations play us differently and affects us differently. We have to empower these combinations in our fortune, to achieve what is extraordinary, which makes us exemplary individuals, that help themselves and in addition help their families, society, help someone in need who looks unto you. “Knowledge empowers you, and there is nothing more powerful than to understand yourself, your potentials, what holds you back, what drives you forward.” I provide you this knowledge about yourself, though numerology. Knowledge about finances, career, turnaround years, lucky dates, months, years, things that help you have a strong backup plan for everything in life. “No mantra, fasting, name changes singularly guarantees you anything. Ultimately its you who has to foresee the future, and I help you to do so.” Follow a simplistic solution that I call Sandhiya Mehhta’s remedy system, and we will work on your energies and align them in the right direction. poi the way.” If you There is a Buddhist saying, “You yourself must strive; the Buddha’s just point believe in yourself and the universe let me just show you a direction, you yourself will lead on the right path and achieve the results within no desired time. I have received tremendous positive feedbacks to have faith in the universe myself. “I am not god; I just understand my field of work and use it to help people, guide them and provide them with some efficient ways to be happy, peaceful, ever-glorious and a good part of our society & I continue to achieve results with all my clients." -Sandhiya Mehhta.

THE HERITAGE OF ROCK ART Explore untapped places in Chhattisgarh and see rock paintings dating back to pre-historic times

Pre-historic rock paintings in Chhattisgarh

here is more to Chhattisgarh that meets the eye. Amidst the lush green foliage of its forest land and mineral-rich areas, there lies one aspect yet to be explored â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rock paintings. The state is a treasure trove of the Stone Age manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock paintings dating back to the pre-historic era and has baffled scientists, archeologists and geologists alike ever since the first discovery of rock art by CW Anderson, an engineer with the Bengal/Nagpur Railways, in 1910. These unique paintings, depicting the way people lived in ancient times, the environment they lived in and their cultural interests, can be spotted in more than 31 sites across the state.

Some of the most interesting examples of rock art can be sighted in the following places: 1. Singhanpur: The Singhanpur cave rock paintings portray a ladder man, mermaids, animal figures and hunting scenes amongst others. Generally drawn in red ochre, paintings of various animals can also be seen. 2. Bhanwarkol: The cave walls here depict wild buffaloes, palm impressions, geometric designs and Swastikas. These paintings are made from white stone and other coloured stones. 3. Khairpur: Here, you will see several dancing scenes and animal figures belonging to the pre-historic period.

TALENT HUNT FOR STUDENTS ICAI Commerce Wizard - 2016 aims at creating a talent pool in commerce education To boost the economic development of the country and to meet the growing needs of society, there is greater demand for sound development of commerce education in India. Commerce is considered as one of the most popular career options in India and is the backbone of the economic development of the nation. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has launched an initiative to search for talent and popularise the stream of commerce education across the country among secondary, senior/ higher secondary, graduate and post-graduate students as well as other stakeholders with focus on CA course. Commerce Wizard -2016 is a talent search being organised by the Career Counseling Committee of ICAI. This would be a diagnostic test that measures the concept understanding ability of a student. Unlike other tests that only try to find out how much a child knows, this test would measure how well a student has understood concepts. Cash awards of more than `1 million are slated to be awarded to meritorious candidates. Students of Class IX, X, XI and XII are eligible for the aforesaid test, which will be conducted at two levels. Level 1 will be held on January 8, 2017 and the candidate can appear for the online test from any convenient place through their laptop, desktop, mobile, iPad etc. Level 2 will be held on January 15, 2017. The testÂ will be held at designated centre(s) for shortlisted candidates of level 1. For details, visit icaicommercewizard.com.
