DEBATE (1)
"You follow me and I will give you Economic freedom"
Raghuraman Rajan
Should continue till last.
" As Never Before And Never Again"
Few people born for specific purpose:
1.Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi. For Free India
My father Late K.N.TENANY asked my brother how was your first day in
MBA at ORLANDO, USA.
He replied I was taught Gandhi , Martin Luthar king , Abraham Lincoln
,J.F Kennedy.
2. Subhash Chandra Bose.
Tum mujhe khoon do mai tumhe aazadi doonga. And freedom was at door
step.
3. Kurian - Amul Chief known for white revolution.
4.Shridharan -Metro Man
5.Sardar vallabh bhai patel.
For administration.
6.Kedar Nath Tenany -For running Paper Industries in profit for 50 years
in India and Africa.
7.Ratan Tata. Putting all Tata ventures in profit.
2. Professor - They are good at college, university and Educational
sector. They are good at producing talented personalities.
3. Politicians - It is not a political post. Job is to improve the country.
When they improve the condition of country and when every citizen have
job, education, shelter, clothings, food, bank balance, things smooth
and hassle free business.
Then they can takeover every posts they want.
Best example among politicians is Kamal Nath. He has made Chhindwara
not less then Heaven in all the respect.
When politicians wants to stay at all the posts, it will be like military
rule or like North Korea Kim Jong Un type rule.
Or like Myanmar type country.
Look at Bhopal Sehakari bank.
Even otherwise every thing belongs to the politicians and people of
nation have handed over the nation. They are the Pilots of nation.
4. IAS- Never.See the condition of INSURANCE SECTOR IRDAI .Headed by
J.Harinarayan (Retd IAS).Totally Messed up and beaten up sector.
CBI enquiry against IRDAI chairman and had to resign, Bajaj Allianz
Insurance Scandle in NEEPCO as CMD Gupta had to resign, Bajaj Allianz
opened 582 branches overnight, Gwalior court orders for FIR against
BAJAJ ALLIANZ. , Transfered Rs.1000 cr in the name of expenses to Team
Life care pvt. Ltd for which IRDAI fined token penalty of Rs.3.1 cr.etc.
5. Economist - They are good to provide statistical figures and good
at Statistics.
Sir today all the sectors i.e. Industry, trade, railway, infrastructure,
airports, real estate, job sector, education sector, insurance sector
and bank sector are badly beaten up sectors and are in total mess.
And of course Bank Sector comes under beaten up sector due to unfriendly
treatment and bad loans , but ray of hope of its improvement is seen
under able ship of Raghuraman Rajan.
Rajesh Tenany
Why common id is not being enforced ?
It is not understood why a simple principle of having one common id
for any officer entering the government is not being enforced. Such
a number can be the employee id, the PF number and can also be part
of the aadhar and income tax PAN no. The government is wasting a lot
of money in transfer of PF accounts which causes inconvenience to the
employees too. The solution does not require a great innovation or technical
mind. The banks already have accounts where a person can deposit from
anywhere in the country. The need is only to implement it.
Shashi Kant Sharma
Why is Arvind Kejriwal obsessed with PM's degrees ?
Why Arvind Kejriwal is obsessed with the degrees Prime Minister holds.
He is spending so much time and energy on this which he can better spend
on governing Delhi. How does it matter if PM has or does not have a
BA degree. He is doing a better job than some with degrees from IITs
or IIMs. It is frustrating to find that our public dialogue has gone
so low and simply because you do not like a person you raise all kinds
of irrelevant charges against him.
