Bhilai Steel Plant, the flagship unit of Maharatna SAIL has won an award in the National Energy Conservation Award 2014, in the Integrated Steel sector, on the basis of the improvement in its energy performance over the previous year, 2012-13 in an award function on December 14, 2014. Energy conservation initiatives at SAIL's Bhilai Steel Plant have led to a saving of Rs. 364 crore during the financial year 2013-14. Bhilai Steel Plant has won this award for achieving a 5% saving in thermal energy consumption and savings of 2% in electrical energy consumption over the previous year.

Steps were simultaneously taken to reduce consumption of purchased fuels like boiler coal, furnace oil, etc. Chairman, SAIL C S Verma, complimented Bhilai Steel Plant on being adjudged the Best Integrated Steel plant in the National Energy Conservation Award 2014. He lauded the plant's efforts for achieving energy efficiency in various areas of operation and urged the plant collective to continuously improve this performance in the future. Instituted by the Government of India, the National Energy Conservation Award is a prestigious award given every year to give national recognition to the selected Industrial units who have made systematic and serious efforts for efficient utilization and conservation of energy and reduction in energy consumption on year to year basis. The award is given to industries of various sectors like Iron & Steel, Textiles, Aluminium, Paper & Pulp, Hospitality, Health Care, Tourism, etc. The evaluation criteria are very stringent and the evaluation is done by an award committee comprising of industry experts from various industrial sectors.

DEBATE (1) Retirement Age

I am in full support to the reduction of age of retirement from present 60 years to 58 years. It will not only create employment opportunities to the youth but also get rid off the sizeable chunk of the inefficient govt employees. It is a proven fact that newer generations are more confident, competent & efficient than the older one IT sector is an example of it. It will also help in reducing burden on public exchequer as cost per employee will also come down.

DEBATE (2) Retirement Age

Retirement age in Central Government offices should be increased to 70 years. Most of the Central Government employees are getting their salary disproportionate (much in excess) to their service contribution to the Government. By sitting idle where else one can get their salary. Anyway there are lot of financial disparity in the Society. By maintaining that status let the government allow the present lot of employees continue in service till 70 years of age if not more.Forget about efficiency, effectiveness and all other trivial things in government offices and also unemployment and frustration of youth. These are creations of God !

Why this discrimination with CAPF officers and jawans ?

I was reading that CAPF officers and jawans retire at the age of 57 years except those rising as DIG and above. Why this discrimination with them when every one in central govt retires at 60. Also their compatriots in Assam rifles & CISF retire at 60. I was reading an article in Force wherein it has been mentioned how CAPF cadre is being discriminated in pay and promotions as also age.Think over.

Finance Minister: Do not need subsidy

Finance Minister had a discussion in parliament that Rich do not need subsidy for LPG. It is to be remembered that charity begins at home. Let it should start from Parliament Canteen where highly subsidized food items are provided, then sprawling bungalow in LBZ and NDMC area occupied by MPs, Ministers, Political Parties at nominal license fee, free electricity, water, telephone being used by MPs and Ministers, free lap top being used by MPs and Ministers: all these to be withdrawn immediately and they should pay market rates and of actual usage as they can pay and have capability to pay. They do not need any subsidy or concession as it is being provide from tax payers money. It is easier to tell others, rich can pay LPG charges at market rates and do not need subsidy. If it is to be withdrawn then uniformly to be withdrawn without any discrimination of rich and poor. Who enjoys maximum perks and subsidy in their daily life? It is known to everybody. It is not understood why LPG subsidy to be withdrawn for rich which is undefined why not uniformly from all? Create uniform society where every body is treated equally.
