Looks like the 'aam aadmi' has had enough of the 'aam aadmi' chief minister Digambar Kamat. Activists bunched under 'Village Groups of Goa' at a pressconference on Wednesday narrated their travails and the hardship the were

put to, when they tried to meet the self-proclaimed 'most accessible chief minister', the state has ever had.

We went to meet the chief minister on Monday which is an open grievance day, when people canmeet the chief minister without appointments, activist Edwin Pinto said, adding that the chief minister had refused a formal appointment to this group of activists for nearly seven to eightmonths.

"The policemen refused to let us meet him and later said that only five ladies would be allowedto meet the CM," Edwin said, wondering what gender had to do with meeting a chief minister with genuine grievances. When our representatives went in, first, Kamat said 'you have noappointment, I have no time to see you,' To this we responded by saying that when you want tovote, you all come to meet us without appointments, with however many people accompanyingyou, Edwin said.b

Science must serve the Aam Aadmi: Chairman, ISRO

July 17, 2010 22:25 by Admin | Comments (0)

K Radhakrishnan, Chairman, ISRO. Thirty four years ago, after mygraduation from IIM-Bangalore, I decided to continue with my career inspace science and technology.

Space, the last frontier for the human race, encompasses the study of our expanding universe starting from about 100 km above the earth surface

called the Karman line, to inter-planetary, inter-stellar and inter-galactic space and beyond.

The national vision articulated by our first PM Pandit J awaharlal Nehru instilled confidence: ³It

is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty... The future belongs toscience and to those who make friends with science.´ The founding father of Indian Space programme, Dr Vikram Sarabhai, envisioned a meaningful role for space science and technologyin finding solutions to the real problems of common man and society as a whole.

His illustrious successors and the entire ISRO family shared this vision; strived to fulfill it, andenrich it further, concomitant with the emerging national needs and evolution of internalstrength.

Today, India is the role model to the world in space applications, one of the six in the world withcapability to build satellites and launch them from its own soil; one of the four that demonstratedcapability for re-entry of spacecraft; and presumably the first to orbit 10 satellites in one singlemission as well as the facilitator for a major discovery of water molecules and water ice on thelunar surface. All of this has been done with a budget as low as 3% of NASA expenditure onspace programmes.

While services have grown at a rapid pace, the share of themanufacturing sector in the country's GDP has stagnated at around 15%,commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma said on Friday while

addressing industry heads at an interactive session held by CII atChandigarh.

"With the objective to help Indian manufacturing achieve its true potential, and in the process be an engine for job creation, we have proposed a number of National Manufacturing & Investment Zones (NMIZ)," Sharma said. Giving details on NMIZ he said, "NMIZs would provide good infrastructure, a progressive exit policy, structuresto support clean and green technologies, appropriate investment incentives and business-friendlyapproval mechanisms. Each zone would have a combination of production units, public utilities,logistics, environment protection mechanisms, residential areas and administered services."

Rapid economic development has been seen post liberalisation. However, given the size of our country and the daunting task of providing a basic minimum standard of living for all, we need toachieve much faster growth. We are a young country and we need to cater to the youthfulaspirations, Sharma added.

February 26, 2010 04:51 by Admin | Comments (0)

The Finance Minister (FM) said that with recession behind us, it was time tomove ahead. As expected he rolled back stimulus for certain certain sectors.FM slapped an excise duty of Re 1 per litre on petrol and diesel which led tothe walk-out of the opposition in protest against the proposal. He said that theGoods and Services Tax will be delayed and now be implemented from April1, 2011.

Some of the other points are:

* Taxes on large cars and SUVs increased 2 percent to 22 percent* Basic duty of 5 percent on crude oil restored* Tax on cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco increased* Rs. 26,000 crore revenue loss due to reduction of direct taxes

Partial roll back of reduction in central exise duty* Plan to levy excise duty of Re 1/litre on petrol and diesel which means fuel prices will be

shooting up soon. It's time to go fill up those tanks.* Excise duty on cigarettes, cigars, tobacco to go up. All will cost more. Intention being that if

cigarettes are more expensive, smoking will go down.* Mobile Phones are likely to become cheaper. To encourage manufacture of accessories such

as battery chargers and hands-free sets, concessions will be extended to the mobile phone sector.* Customs duty has been reduced on Gold. Prices of the precious metal likely to dip.* Basic customs duty on microwave ovens, water filters reduced. Prices to fall.

W ill Budget 20 1 0 have respite for the Aam Aadmi?

February 16, 2010 03:27 by Admin | Comments (0)

The Aam Aadmi's expectations from Budget 2010 are high given the ever rising inflation and wholesale price index (WPI). An appropriate increase in

8/8/2019 aam admi


the income tax slab could probably cushion the impact of the increased inflation and WPI andcould bring about some relief. An enhancement in the basic exemption limit to a realistic levelwould at least bring a small smile on the face of the common man!

As of today, self-employed people are better off than salaried employees as they are entitled to

the deduction for expenditure incurred to earn the income, whereas there are no prescribeddeductions available for salaried employees. Therefore, it is expected that this budget would atleast provide for a standard deduction to cover certain expenditure.

Given the current scenario; difficulties increase for the employed class people due to doubletaxation in case of contribution to the retirement pension schemes. Employees would be payingtaxes not only at the time of contribution (if contribution is in excess of Rs 100,000) tosuperannuation fund (which is approved by the income tax authorities), but also upon retirement.Hence, it would be prudent to tax such benefit only when they are enjoyed by the employee i.e.on retirement when pensions are received.

F or the aam aadmi, costs go up again


Come April and life may become more difficult for the Great Indian middleclass or the aam aadmi. This, despite the worst of food inflation being over and prices of most essentials, including wheat, pulses, sugar and edible oils,

heading south. The good news on the food prices front may, however, bemore than offset by the not-so-good news on other products.

To start with, from midnight, Delhi, Mumbai and 11 other cities would see a 50 paise a litreincrease in petrol prices, while a litre of diesel will cost 26 paise more. In other places too, therewill be marginal increases ranging from 25 paise on a litre of petrol and about 20 paise on a litreof diesel, with new-specification clean fuels set to flow from April 1. This could have acascading effect on the prices of items of mass consumption.

Owning a car will also become dearer. While market leader Maruti Udyog has indicated that itwill increase its prices within the first week of April, Hyundai and General Motors have said that

the increase on the various models will range from 0.5 per cent to 3 per cent.
