DEBATE (1)

L S Hardenia

DEBATE (2)

Only a person who can promote on large scale entrepreneurship in India should be the next Governor of the RBI. Rajan has done nothing special about it even when the whole emphasis in the last 24 months has been on promoting entrepreneurship. Can any bank in India- private or public- boast of hand-holding a budding entrepreneur? Can any bank come forward to provide the necessary funds to an NRN or anyone of these young boys/girls making & shaking the market: Flipkart, Ola and hundred others. The answer in NO, an emphatic No. Why? Are they Mallyas or wilful defaulters? No, they are entrepreneurs, who possess highest educational qualifications and rich experience of working in corporations many of them MNCs. Visit any bank to experience the cold, tarkau attitude of the bankers. They are still working on phone calls. Why should they be not provided working capital and overdraft facility? The business today may not provide them inventory because the model is new, successful and profitable. At least the banks should advance OD immediately if the applicant has some asset equivalent to the limit sanctioned. Who can think innovative excepting the Governor RBI. I am familiar with the requirement of entrepreneur and assistance promised in the past with enormous infrastructure for Entrepreneurship Development & Training etc.and hence write about the ground realities.

IAS lobby grabs the cake

All the powers of the State are concentrated in Collectors who have at their disposal all the government funds. In the premises it is easy for them to hog the limelight with schemes. Officers of other cadres have equal achievements but the IAS lobby grab the cake. This is demoralising for other service officers.
