Second Africa-India Forum Summit 2011: Addis Ababa Declaration The Second Africa-India Forum Summit was held at Addis Ababa from 24-25 May 2011. Heads of State and Government and Heads of Delegation representing the Continent of Africa, the African Union (AU) and its Institutions, and the Prime Minister of the Republic of India, have met in Addis Ababa, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, from 24 to 25 May 2011, to continue dialogue, deepen friendship and enhance cooperation, under the theme: Enhancing Partnership: Shared Vision. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made a strong call to African countries to work collectively with India to combat the scourge of terrorism. Threats posed by terrorism and other challenges like poverty eradication, sustainable development and inequitable international order were issues on which India and Africa should work together, he said at the retreat on the margins of the Second Africa India Forum Summit. "Apart from bilateral cooperation, India and Africa can and should work together on regional and international issues," he said at the retreat attended by leaders from 15 African countries. Earlier, the Prime Minister had while addressing the Summit highlighted the need to chart new pathways of engagement, take stock of the global economic and political situation and review the progress the two sides have made in their cooperation in the last three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have put in place an architecture of cooperation and we have developed a culture of communication and dialogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet we cannot be fully satisfied and that is because our people want and expect much more from us. They are hungry for progress. There is so much more to be done," he said. Singh noted that the current international economic and political situation was far from easy, particularly for developing countries and spoke about "new challenges" confronting the world in meeting the requirements of food and energy security. Manmohan Singh announced a mammoth $5 billion credit line to Africa for various development projects, reflecting Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing ties with the resource-rich continent. He also declared an additional $700 million package to establish new institutions and training programmes across the continent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will offer 5 billion US dollars for the next three years under lines of credit to help Africa achieve its development goals,â&#x20AC;? the Indian Prime Minister said.

The Great Sentinel - as Mahatma Gandhi called him – was a moral force behind our freedom struggle and one who gave a vivid and expressive voice to the depressed soul of India. Reading Gurudev’s sublime poetry or masterly prose, one wonders if humankind today has lost some of the finer sensibilities that inspired his works – the intimacy with nature, the quest for inner truth, the sense of solidarity and community that transcends borders and breaks down presumed barriers of religion, race or language. Within the internationalism he espoused, Rabindranath Tagore had a clear vision of how India should stand among the comity of peoples. He wrote, ‘In India what is needed more than anything else is the broad mind which, only because it is conscious of its own vigorous individuality, is not afraid of accepting truth from all sources’. So many years after these words were written, I wonder if we can honestly say that we have understood and imbibed their precious wisdom. I was delighted when last year Her Excellency Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh agreed to oversee joint celebrations of the Birth Anniversary in a befitting manner. The decade that Tagore spent in the serene and enchanting surroundings of Shilaidah, Shahzadpur and Patisar was a particularly fulfilling and creative period. His friendship and admiration for his fellow Bengali poets like Kazi Nazrul Islam, Kazi Abdul Wadood and Begum Sufia Kamal did a lot to promote literary creativity and diversity. I extend a very warm welcome to His Excellency Air Vice Marshall A.K. Khandaker who is representing the Government of Bangladesh in today’s celebration of Tagore’s shared legacy. I am happy to announce that the Government of India has decided to institute a prestigious International Award, in the name of Rabindranath Tagore, to recognize very distinguished contributions towards the promotion of international brotherhood and fraternity. A jury headed by the Prime Minister will select each year a citizen of the world of outstanding public eminence who in his or her life and work epitomizes the high universal ideals that Rabindranath Tagore stood for. We hope to present the first award by the end of this commemoration period. A wide range of projects are being undertaken as part of the commemorations to make Rabindranath Tagore’s works more accessible to a wider audience and to preserve his work for posterity. The digital collection of his paintings, entitled the ‘Rabindra Chitravali’, which was released today, has been put together for the first time with great effort and with the support of our government. Some important archival materials on Tagore that are on celluloid have been restored and packaged, for national and international dissemination, after sub-titling in English. A unique project that has been taken up by scholars of international repute of Jadavpur University is the creation of an ‘online electronic variorum’ edition of the works of Tagore in English and Bengali. I am particularly glad to learn that special efforts are being made to translate the literary works of Tagore and also encourage performances of his plays in different Indian languages. With a view to revitalize some of our important cultural institutions and to encourage high quality research into their precious resources, the Ministry of Culture has introduced a new Tagore National Fellowship for Cultural Research. Under the scheme, renowned scholars have been invited to take up research projects on unknown or lesser known cultural resources that lie within our cultural institutions. I invite distinguished scholars, from India and the world over, to avail of this prestigious and well funded Tagore Fellowship. Rabindranath Tagore had very definite views on the prevalent education system. He felt that it had little connection with the reality of Indian circumstances and did little to stimulate the power of a child’s thought and imagination. In his evocative words he wrote "…… we are coolies of the goddess of learning, carrying loads of words on our folded backs”. He visited many universities abroad. Finally his quest for a method of learning that would draw directly from the experience of life and nature led him to the charming rural hamlet of Shantiniketan. He established Visva Bharati as an international university, which he described thus: a place where the whole world meets in one nest. It stands as a living symbol of the poet laureate’s enduring faith in the learning ability and creative power of a young mind and free spirit. Viswa Bharati should rightfully be one of the crown jewels of our academic world. But a lot of work needs to be done to restore this institution to its former glory and for it to live up to the true ideals of its founder. In this 150th birth anniversary year of Gurudev, I can think of no more important task than the revival of Viswa Bharati. As the Chancellor of the University, I am personally committed to this important task. The Government of India is putting a lot of resources into Viswa Bharati, including a special grant of Rs. 95 crores. We are working with Viswa Bharati to preserve Shantiniketan's cultural properties. The Archaeological Survey of India is assisting in the conservation efforts and 27 heritage buildings have been restored. A new auditorium is planned and as is the complete upgradation of the museums of Rabindra Bhavana and Kala Bhavana. The Ministry of Culture and Visva Bharati have also taken up the conservation, restoration and digitization of all the priceless collections, paintings, books and manuscripts. But in the final analysis the future of Viswa Bharati depends not so much on official patronage or resources but the dreams and ambitions of its teachers, students and alumni. Before I conclude, I must compliment my senior colleague Shri Pranab Mukherjee for the effort and energy he has put into making a success of these commemoration events as the Chairman of the National Implementation Committee. I conclude by remembering the following lines penned by Tagore: “When I am no longer on this earth, my tree, let the ever-renewed leaves of thy spring murmur to the wayfarers: “The poet did love while he lived.”

India among six Asian countries to drive regional growth: ADB IBEF: New Delhi: According to the current projections, India and six other major economies in Asia will be driving the region’s growth and could account for more than half of the global gross domestic product by 2050. This was stated in a report by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). India would grow to be a US$ 40.4 trillion economy from the current US$ 1.4 trillion in 2010. Although India’s share in the global gross domestic product would be 14 per cent while China’s would be 22 per cent, India will witness a faster rate of economic growth in the next 40 years compared to China. This is due to the fact that India has a young population which will grow into a one billion strong work force by 2050, which will be 25 per cent more than China. The average per capita income of these seven countries (Peoples Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand) would be US$ 45,800, which will be 25 per cent higher than the global average of US$ 36,600, according to the report. The combined gross domestic product (GDP) of these countries amounted to US$ 14.2 trillion in 2010 which was 87 per cent of all Asian countries. This share is expected to rise to 90 per cent by 2050. "The impression has been created that the ascendancy of Asia is somehow an immutable fact and the only question is merely when China and India will become the largest and second largest global economies, as if the countries are on autopilot, gliding smoothly to their rightful destiny. Its leaders must be aware that future prosperity will need to be earned, in the same way that developed economies today earned their success over the past 40 years,” as per the report. The report also stated that

India aims at doubling exports to $500 bn by 2014 India on May 3 set a target to more than double its merchandize exports to $500 billion in the next three years, banking on the increasing demand for Indian engineering, pharma and chemical products in emerging markets. Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma released a paper that detailed the strategy for doubling exports in three years. “We have finalized the strategy paper for achieving the target of $500 billion merchandize exports by 2014,” Sharma said. “The strategy paper hinges on four pillars — product strategy, market strategy, technologies and research and development, and building a brand image,” he said. India’s exports surged 37.5 percent to $245.9 billion in 2010-11, substantially surpassing the official target of $200 billion on the back of a nearly 85 percent jump in engineering exports. Sharma said exports of engineering goods were likely to reach $125 billion by 2014. Engineering exports surged 84.76 percent to $60 billion during the last fiscal. The Minister said chemical industry exports would touch $25 billion; drugs, pharma and basic chemicals $44 billion; and electronic exports were targeted to reach $17 billion in fiscal 2013-14. “Employment intensive sectors have been given a special focus, which includes gems and jewelery for which we have set a target of $70 billion and agri exports for which we have set a target of $22 billion,” the Minister said after releasing the strategy paper. Sharma added that a market diversification strategy had helped boost India’s trade in recent years.

IT sector to see highly positive hiring trends this year: Survey NEW DELHI: The IT sector is likely to witness a 20 per cent increase in overall workforce levels in the coming year as this segment will continue to see double digit growth, says a survey. According to the IT Employer Survey by HeadHonchos.com - a job search portal for senior management professionals, 76 per cent of respondents expect the increase in headcount to be in the range of 11-15 per cent whereas 36 per cent expect this figure to be as much as 16-20 per cent. "Hiring is set to increase across all levels, including 9.5 per cent for middle management and 4.5 per cent for senior professionals," Head Honchos.com CEO Uday Sodhi said. Overall as many as 97 per cent of the HR managers polled said the industry will see a substantial increase in overall workforce in the coming year. However, the IT industry will continue to reel under attrition pressures and this year it is likely to be more challenging than last year as overall attrition rate is expected to hover around 14.4 per cent, the report said. "There will be a double impact on hiring as the increase in manpower count is accompanied by replacement hiring on account of the attrition numbers," Sodhi said. For fresher and junior levels, attrition is expected to be 13.6 per cent across the industry, for mid management attrition would be around 9.2 per cent and senior management levels it is expected to be 4.8 per cent, the survey said. In order to curtail attrition levels, companies are planning to focus on compensation, skill development and improvement of work environment in the year ahead. The survey that covered top 100 IT companies in India was based on the views of HR professionals across the country and forecasts trends on workforce growth and expected attrition.

Challenges and Opportunities Owing to the fact that the healthcare sector is one of the largest service sector industries in India with an estimated revenue of US$ 35 billion, the industry has also emerged as on the of most challenging sectors as well. India would require another 1.75 million beds by the end of 2025 to reach a ratio of two beds per 1000 population. An additional 0.7 million doctors are needed to reach a doctor population ratio of 1:1000 by 2025. Although the health insurance sector is projected to grow to US$3.8 billion, the health insurance penetration rate still has a lot more scope to grow with only 2 per cent of the total population being insured at present. The government recognised the significant challenges and potential in the sector and provided priority status to healthcare in the Eleventh Five Year Plan. Further, the sector is expected to witness added growth through a well-defined partnership between the government and the private sector. Meanwhile, the total healthcare infrastructure expenditure is expected to reach US$ 14.2 billion in 2013, registering an increase of 50 per cent as compared to the 2006 figure, according to a report by KPMG.

PPP Model Private healthcare is emerging as one of the fasting growing sectors in India, with hospital chains exploring the markets in metros and tier II cities, private players seeking accreditation and developing new healthcare models. Further, the private and public sectors across various states such as Gujarat and Uttarakhand have launched innovative initiatives to attract PPP investments into healthcare. While the government is exploring potential to establish state-funded healthcare insurance schemes for supporting healthcare delivery for the poorer sections of the population, the corporate segment is catering to the growing need of the general public for quality care. Thus, through a sustainable partnership, development and delivery of low cost, affordable, basic healthcare services, PPP models may help in improving the infrastructure and healthcare provision in the country.

The number of primary health centres has increased by 84 per cent, taking the number to 20,107, according to the report. Indian health insurance market represents one the fastest growing and second largest non-life insurance segment in the country, according to a report by research firm RNCOS. The health insurance premium is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth rate (CAGR) of over 25 per cent for the period spanning from 2009-10 to 2013-14, according to the report. India’s share in the global medical tourism industry is predicted to be around 3 per cent by the end of 2013, according to a report ‘Booming Medical Tourism in India’ by research firm RNCOS, released in December 2010. The sector is expected to generate around US$ 3 billion in revenues by 2013, with the number of medical tourists to grow at a CAGR of over 19 per cent during 2011-2013 to reach 1.3 million by 2013. Indian medical technology industry is expected to reach US$ 14 billion by 2020 from US$ 2.7 billion in 2008, according to a report by PwC and an industry body. The country’s first healthcare Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Frontier Mediville, is being set up by Frontier Lifeline Hospital at Elavoor, near Chennai. Major healthcare players such as Fortis and Apollo are expanding to tier-II and tier-III cities, along with urban cities, due to substantial demand for high-quality and specialty healthcare services in these cities. Healthcare majors such as Apollo, Max Healthcare and Manipal Group are targeting new segments such as primary care and diagnostics. Demographics, health awareness and increasing capacity to spend are the key drivers of the preventive healthcare segment in India. Computer-based bio-surveillance projects generating data about diseases and creating databases on healthcare in rural areas are gaining popularity in India with various organisations such as Narayana Hrudayalaya and the Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Centre entering into this sector.
Government Policies Government initiatives in the public health sector have recorded some noteworthy successes over time with focus on investments related to better medical infrastructure, rural health facilities etc. 100 per cent FDI is permitted for health and medical services under the automatic route. The National Rural Health Mission (NHRM) had allocated US$ 10.15 billion for the upgradation and capacity enhancement of healthcare facilities. Moreover, in order to meet revised cost of construction, in March 2010 the Government allocated an additional US$ 1.23 billion for six upcoming AIIMS-like institutes and upgradation of 13 existing Government Medical Colleges.

Tagore - The Poet, Songwriter, Philosopher, Artist and EducatorPage 6 Tarit Mukherjee* “It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.” — Rabindranath Tagore Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was the youngest son of Debendranath Tagore, a leader of the Brahmo Samaj. Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta into a wealthy and prominent family. His grandfather had established a huge financial empire for himself. Tagore received his early education first from tutors and then at a variety of schools. Among them were Bengal Academy where he studied history and culture. and then University College, London, where he studied law but left a year later for unlikeness of the weather. In his mature years, in addition to his many-sided literary activities, he managed the family estates, a project which brought him into close touch with people and increased his interest in social reforms. He also started an experimental school at Shantiniketan where he tried his Upanishadic ideals of education. Tagore had early success as a writer in his native Bengal. With translations of some of his poems he became rapidly known in the West. In fact his fame attained luminous height, taking him across continents on lecture tours and tours of friendship. For the world he became the voice of India’s spiritual heritage, and for India, especially for Bengal, he became a great living institution. Although Tagore wrote successfully in all literary genres, he was first of all a poet. Among his fifty and odd volumes of poetry are Manasi (1890) [The Ideal One], Sonar Tari (1894) [The Golden Boat], Gitanjali (1910) [Song Offerings], Gitimalya (1914) [Wreath of Songs], and Balaka (1916) [The Flight of Cranes]. The English renderings of his poetry, include The Gardener (1913), Fruit-Gathering (1916), and The Fugitive (1921), Gitanjali: Song Offerings (1912), became the most acclaimed of them, contains poems from other works besides its namesake. Tagore’s reputation as a writer was established in the United States and in England after the publication of Gitanjali: Song Offerings, about divine and human love. The poems were translated into English by the author himself. Tagore’s major plays are Raja (1910) [The King of the Dark Chamber], Dakghar (1912) [The Post Office], Achalayatan (1912) [The Immovable], Muktadhara (1922) [The Waterfall], and Raktakaravi (1926) [Red Oleanders]. He is the author of several volumes of short stories and a number of novels, among them Gora (1910), Ghare-Baire (1916) [The Home and the World], and Yogayog (1929) [Crosscurrents]. Besides these, he wrote musical dramas, dance dramas, essays of all types, travel diaries, and two autobiographies, one in his middle years and the other shortly before his death in 1941. Tagore also left numerous drawings and paintings, and songs for which he wrote the music himself. “When one knows thee, then alien there is none, then no door is shut. Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose touch of the one in the play of the many.” (from Gitanjali) A dedicated educator, Tagore established a school (1901) in his estate, Santiniketan, in Bengal, to teach a blend of Eastern and Western philosophies. In 1921 his school was expanded into an international university, Visva-Bharati. He also traveled and lectured throughout the world. Visva-Bharati, which was dedicated to emerging Western and Indian philosophy and education became a university in 1921. In 1890 Tagore moved to East Bengal (now Bangladesh), where he collected local legends and folklore. Between 1893 and 1900 he wrote seven volumes of poetry, including Sonar TarI (The Golden Boat), 1894 and Khanika, 1900 and Nashtanir, (The Broken Nest) 1901, published first serially. This was a highly productive period in Tagore’s life, and earned him the rather misleading epitaph ‘The Bengali Shelley.’ The Greatest writer in modern Indian literature, Bengali poet, novelist and an early advocate of Independence for India, Tagaore won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 for his collection of well-known poems Gitanjali (Song Offerings). Two years later he was awarded the knighthood, but he surrendered it in 1919 as a protest against the massacre in Amritsar. Tagore’s influence over Gandhi and the founders of modern India was enormous, but his reputation in the West as a mystic has perhaps mislead his Western readers to ignore his role as a reformer and critic of colonialism. At the age of 70 Tagore took up painting. He was also a composer, settings hundreds of poems to music. Many of his poems are actually songs, and inseparable from their music. Tagore’s ‘Our Golden Bengal’ became the national anthem of Bangladesh. His written production, still not completely collected, fills nearly 30 substantial volumes. Tagore remained a well-known and popular author in the West until the end of the 1920s. Tagore’s short stories influenced deeply Indian Literature. ‘Punishment’, a much anthologized work, was set in a rural village. It describes the oppression of women through the tragedy of the low-caste Rui family. His major theme was humanity’s search for God and truth. Between 1916 and 1941, Tagore published 21 collections of songs and poems and held lecture tours across Europe, America, China, Japan and Indonesia. In 1924, he inaugurated the Viswa Bharati University at Santiniketan, an All India Centre for culture. Tagore was keenly aware of India’s socio-political condition under British rule. He supported the Swadeshi movement and had been deeply influenced by the religious renaissance of 19th century India. Tragically, between 1902 and 1907, Tagore lost his wife, son and daughter. But out of his pain emerged some of his most tender work, including Gitanjali, published in 1910. Tagore remained a true patriot, supporting the national movement and writing the lyrics of the “Jana Gana Mana”, which is India’s national anthem. Tagore’s works are classics, renowned for their lyrical beauty and spiritual poignancy. He is remembered for his literary genius and Santiniketan remains a flourishing institute. In Tagore’s own words, “The world speaks to me in colours, my soul answers in music”. His profound symbolism, abetted by the free-flowing nature of his verse, creates a universe of haunting beauty that expresses God’s infinite love and humanity’s deep compassion for all things beautiful. Known as “Gurudev,” poet Rabindranath Tagore was a proud inheritor of India’s spiritual heritage, to which he gave voice in his inimitable language. He was one of our noblest patriots and was always keen to promote the welfare of his countrymen, educationally, economically and politically. He was a colossus who made an outstanding contribution to the development of painting, music, dance and drama. He triumphantly toured many countries of the world carrying the message of renascent India.

. Tagore as a Painter On the 150th Birth Anniversary of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Embassy of India, Paramaribo, in collaboration with Department of Culture, Alphamax Academy,Art Vibes United, Schrijvers Groep’77 organised an Exhibition of Tagore’s 35 painting’s at Fort Zeelandia. The paintings were taken from “The Art of Tagore” published by M/s Rupa Publications Pvt Ltd., India. The exhibition was inaugurated by the First Lady of Suriname Mrs. Ingrid Bouterse. Some local painters also participated. Indian Cultural Centre, Paramaribo also presented a cultural programme which consisted of Rabindra Sangeet and Kathak dance performance by the dance teacher. The paintings were also exhibited at St. Vincent & Grenadines on June 1, 2011 which is celebrated as Indian Arrival Day. There are plans to take the painting exhibition to all the districts of Suriname. Rabindranath Tagore was not only a great poet and novelist but also a great artist. He started painting in his late sixties and continued painting till he died. He left behind more than 2500 paintings and drawings, all done between 1928-41. Tagore's paintings are bereft of all spiritual solace; they portray silence and loneliness. They are also very strange - the viewer is not sure how to view his paintings.
To give a new direction to painting Tagore established Kala Bhavana, the institute of art which was an integral part of his experimental University. Key to Tagore’s ideas was the emergence of a new selfhood in colonial India. He recognized the experimental urges of modernism and sought to harness it within the traditional. Rabindranath realized that narrow national boundaries would not facilitate exchange across civilization and would fail to create the cosmopolitan man.
Tagore’s own paintings reflect the cosmopolitan approach to art as he freely moved between the various influences to develop a style of his own. Key to Tagore’s artistic vision was the idea of personality and harmony. Impressionism appealed to Tagore’s individual perception of reality. Rabindranath personified a vision of much larger dimension.
To pay homge to the creative genius of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore writing and painting competitions for children and seniors have also been launched. The winners will be given attractive prizes.
