Ephemeral nature of life

The tragic demise of Gopinath Munde in a road accident reminds one of the ephemeral nature of life. One moment you are here , the next moment you are gone. Every breath is therefore precious and one must live every moment conscious of this and doing good to fellow human beings.

Slip up in PMO or failure of Cabinet Secretariat ?

This is good news but the bad news is that there are two vacant posts of Dy. CAGs w.e.f. June 2014. Why have these two vacancies not been filled up? It seems that ACC clearance was sought from the Manmohan Singh government about more than a month ago but the file was returned from the PMO without any action. Why did this happen? Was there a slip up in the PMO or did the Cabinet Secretariat fail to do its time bound duties? Now it seems that the file has to be reprocessed from scratch for the new ACC. This shows the breakdown of the system and we are told the very very big babus in the Deppt. of Personnel & Training / Cabinet Secretariat / PMO were busy moving files for only their interested chums. It is time that someone should answer for this. The MoS of the PMO should like to inquire into this matter at the earliest and fix responsibility.

E-commerce: foreign investment welcome, not domestic ?

News reports have it that the GOI is going to permit 100% FDI in e-commerce. I don't remember having seen any policy to promote e-commerce as a venture by our Desi boys & girls, none of whom are removed from knowledge society. They are professionally trained Engineers or MBAs. However, e-commerce gets no consideration for loans from banks, not to expect soft loans or priority sector financing facility for them. There is no venture fund for them. As far as I know, e-commerce does not qualify to be called a SSI or SME. But the potential for employment for educated youth of India lies solely in self-employment ventures like e-commerce. It would be reasonable for the new government to first provide support to domestic entrepreneurs to set up and successfully run their e-commerce ventures by (1) giving them loans as for the priority sector on soft terms; (2) ensure single window clearance so that ventures get commissioned in less time than a semester in the university. How much investment support will be needed? Around 1 to 2 crores per entrepreneur. How many jobs will get created? Millions. How much FDI will invest? 1500 crores. How much profit will go away? The infatuation with FDI in e-commerce is against the interests of the kisan-majdoor-aam aadmi and helps only Indian black money stashed in foreign banks to travel back to the country to become white, using the cloak of some big international brand. The Government needs to think through such FDI proposals.
