  • DFI Bill will be groundbreaking, will revolutionise infra, says GV Sanjay Reddy

    The government will table The National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID) Bill, 2021 in Lok Sabha next week.

    Mumbai, Maharashtra [India]: Physical infrastructure is crucial for any country to achieve its national goals. It becomes essential for rapidly developing countries like India to have a reliable and adequate cutting-edge infrastructure to propel development. The present regime has been focusing aggressively on raising funds for supporting national programs. Recently, the government has announced that it is going to introduce The National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID) Bill, 2021 next week in Lok Sabha for maneuvering infra plans. While commenting on the development, the Vice-Chairman of the GVK Group — GV Sanjay Reddy has said that the constitution of the Development Finance Institution (DFI) will revolutionize the infrastructure in India.

    Through the NaBFID, the government will set up the DFI with the aim to support the financing of infrastructure projects. As per reports available, NaBFID will have a corpus of INR 20,000 crore and the DFI will leverage it to raise INR 3 lakh crore in the years to come. “If Parliament passes the bill and the NaBFID and the DFI are constituted, these sovereign institutions will eliminate all the blockades that are there while allocating funds to the infrastructure,” says GV Sanjay Reddy. Moreover, he also added that rapid fundraising from investors is expected as it will enable lucrative tax benefits.

    By 2022, India is expected to become the world’s largest construction market requiring investment worth INR 50 trillion in infrastructure. Similarly, the World Bank placed India at 44th position out of 167 in its Logistics Performance Index (LPI) in 2018, making India one of the most rewarding markets in the world for investments. “The government had already approved investments up to INR 6,000 crore in the debt platform of National Infrastructure Investment Fund’s (NIIF) equity in 2020, helping it to raise around INR one lakh crore by 2025 for infra projects.”

    “100 percent of FDIs are allowed in the infrastructure, hence, the government is aggressively attracting FDIs in the sector. FDIs are like a catalyst of rapid development in the sector,” he adds. Recently, Rajya Sabha has also passed the Insurance (Amendment) Bill, 2021 to raise FDI from 49 percent at present to 74 percent in the insurance sector indicating a vigorous approach to invite foreign investments across sectors.

    GV Sanjay Reddy has considerable expertise of several decades in the Energy, Transportation, Hospitality, Realty, and Aviation sectors with GVK having been active since the 90s in India’sgrowing infrastructure sector.

  • UN’s World Happiness Report seems faulty India placed 139 out of 149 countries but contributes vaccines to the world.

    New Delhi, [India]: Internationally acclaimed futurist and psychologist Dr. Jawahar Surisetti commented on the UN World Happiness Report 2021 as being faulty. He was reacting to India being placed 139 out of the 149 countries. He put forth a plethora of facts to substantiate his argument and even went to the extent of saying that he is in the process of launching a World Happiness Report by the end of this year, Happiness being a combination of Happiness and Peace.

    Enumerating the fact that makes him feel that the Happiness Report seems faulty, he listed down the anomalies in the procedure. Firstly, the fact that life after COVID is the basis of the report, India manufacturing 60-70% of vaccines consumed by the world and supplying vaccine to many countries, free of cost to many, is an act that is causing happiness throughout the world and is not factored here. Causing happiness to the world at large should be to the credit of India too and could count in the generosity too. So the life after COVID basis in which India played a major role as acknowledged by the WHO chief is a factor that is largely ignored and would have put India miles ahead of other countries.

    Secondly, the various indices of performance do not subscribe to this low ranking: eg, Climate change performance index we are 9th, Startup Ecosystem Ranking we are 23, World Competitiveness Index and World Digital Competitiveness Index we are 43 and 44 respectively, we are in the top 10 countries in the Wealth Creation and are ranked 6th. Migrants from Bangladesh and other countries do not wish to leave India and go back to their home country because they are happy here. These factors are being mentioned here because these are the components of the World Happiness Index and do not justify the 139th rank.

    The last mail in the coffin is China being in the 19th position. Post-COVID the world view on China is known. As per the UN and even the people, democracy is a preferred form of governance. The world views China as the originator of Covid and China remains a bully and aggressor in the Asian region with the stories of aggression on Tibet, Hongkong, India, and many others are well known. China is also known for its control of the media and people’s voices. In these circumstances, when a survey was conducted how could the people’s opinion be reached and how do we know that these voices are not acting on the force. Also, when an aggressor creates so much strife and unhappiness in the world how can it be termed as happy. The fact that China disrupts peace in the world through its actions and it is in the top 20 of the Happiness Index makes the index suspect to its veracity. Also, Pakistan which is known as a rogue state for harboring terrorism is ranked above India.

    There might be many countries where there might be erratic rankings and these need to be set right. It’s not just about India but because of India’s contribution to world peace, it’s not a fair assessment to rank India so low, opines Dr. Jawahar.

  • MISS KHAN AB TO HANS DO REVEALS THE REALITY OF AGE

    Mumbai, Maharashtra [India]: Miss Khan, ab to hans do’ is a feature-length film directed by Aneek Chaudhuri.

    The screenplay is developed by SusmitaBasuMajumdar.

    The film spins around a life-sized model and its melancholic life that prompts the inquiry that ‘Does a Mannequin grin by any means? Or on the other hand, is it our discernment that they do?’. The film stars Bibriti Chatterjee and is shot by Aneek Chaudhuri and Soumya Barik.

    On the off chance that we discussion of the class of the film, we can mark it as ‘Free exploratory workmanship house’. This is an endeavor to invalidate the use of language in Cinema and furthermore, to show imagine a scenario in which living things appear as non-living things, and the other way around. This film is tied in with switching jobs and removing everyday routine from non-experiencing things.

    I saw the thought for making this film when I could detect a shop holding a life-sized model wearing distinctive garments, and it is utilized as simply a holder of garments. At some point, I could spot it wearing ethnic garments, while a few days ago, it very well may be spotted wearing something gaudy or tasteful. As it were, a life-sized model depicts the general public relying upon the garments it is wearing. While a life-sized model at a neighborhood store characterizes the estimating being less expensive; a similar life-sized model when put at a Gucci store, it portrays premium evaluating. Accordingly, this is the mercury for estimating the cultural status of the territory and its clients also, however it is inert.

    The movie is delivered by Indo-Australian chief maker Rajib Ball; he has been associated with movie bearing and film creation in the new past. In addition, Rajib has been keen on arthouse Cinema for long. According to him, equal Cinema in India should be restored stylishly and gifted movie producers should take up the reason. He has received grants several times too for his movies, and now he appears to help free producers all through the globe.

    In ‘Miss Khan, ab to hans do’ we are depicting a similar emergency yet from the life-sized model’s perspective and fuelling life to it

  • Senior Journalist Upendra Rai’s collection of articles to hit bookstores soon

    Upendra Rai, Upendra Rai Sahara, Hastakshep, Book Hastakshep

    New Delhi, [India]: The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Editor-in-Chief of the Sahara News Network, Upendra Rai is coming up with an anthology of his articles. The famous Hindi publishing house Vani Prakashan will publish this collection in two volumes titled ‘Hastkshep’ and ‘Nazariya’. Both books will soon hit the book stores.

    Upendra Rai needs no introduction. He is among the leading journalists in contemporary Hindi print and electronic media. From the echelons of power to the pulse of the populace, Rai’s ears have always been close to the ground. His keen observation bolstered by a profound and objective analysis makes his write-ups a treat to the readers. The world has changed at a frantic pace during the past 12 years, our country being no exception. Rai’s profession has made him witness these unfolding changes from the front row. He has used the power of his pen for a meaningful ‘Hastakshep’ (or intervention) in society’s interests while giving his readers and viewers a fresh ‘Nazariya’ (or perspective).

    Upendra Rai has been documenting his vast experience in his regular columns for the Hindi paper ‘Rashtriya Sahara’. His weekly feature ‘Hastkshep’, as well as column ‘Nazariya’, have made a special place in readers’ hearts; one reason why his books bear the same name. Keeping up with the times, Rai’s insight is also reaching the masses for the past year through his weekly news-based show titled ‘Hastkshep’.

    However, TV and print mediums have their limitations. They are an effective means for the dissemination of information but can also sometimes swarm the mind with its overdose. Not everybody has the time and patience to discern the news that is truly worthy of attention from the heaps of content these mediums incessantly pile on public minds. ‘Hastkshep’ and ‘Nazariya’ will do just that for their readers. These will not be mere books but the most authentic document of the contemporary history adorning the bookshelves.

    As the cliché goes, the only thing permanent in time is change. Yet, seldom has time seen the winds of change moving so fast as in the period that this book captures. The fulcrum of the world order has started shifting during the past 12 years. While old superpowers struggle to hold their ground, the emergence of new ones is posing fresh challenges. Health has become a more pressing concern than security at borders for most nations. The geopolitical strategy is completely entwined with economics. India’s surge, on the path of, progress has given the world new hope. Yet, the world’s largest democracy is also not free from headwinds of radical transformation. The decade gone by has left the country with events and developments that history will surely judge as decisive. Destiny seems to have chosen PM Narendra Modi to steer India clear amid these tides of time. More than 1.35 billion Indians are marching towards their rightful place in the world as citizens of a new India under PM Modi’s leadership. His ascension to power in 2014 has put India on a course to her tryst with destiny.

    The country still has miles to go and many challenges to meet. The people of India can be equal stakeholders in this journey only if they are well-informed. The power of knowledge is their only weapon in helping their motherland win over these challenges. Upendra Rai’s upcoming books aim to give this power to every Indian. They intend to illuminate the readers’ minds in every aspect defining their world; be it politics, science, diplomacy, foreign affairs, defence policies, arts, or sports.

    We live in an era of hyper-information. This makes it harder to get the knowledge that can truly enlighten. You can nibble through various news platforms at the whim of your fingers. Still, a perspective that makes sense of the complicated world around us is hard to find. Indian media’s credibility is at an all-time low. Not many have time to sift the chaff from the grain that is dished out 24X7 by news media. Rai’s books will fill this gap with credible information and objective analysis. ‘Hastkshep’ and ‘Nazariya’ are complete guides for students aspiring to be civil servants or those preparing for similar examinations. They deserve a place in your library even if all you want is a right understanding of the truth of your times. Rai’s endeavour is to bring these books to a wider audience and plans are in place to publish their English versions soon.

  • OneBasket.in- Moreover Organic, Desi is here

    Mumbai, Maharashtra : Hyderabad-based agri-tech start-up, OneBasket, which is addressing the supply-demand gap in the non-perishables segment is creating Win-Win situation for Farmers and Consumers alike.

    Now, more than ever, people have become increasingly conscious of what they eat. According to Ernst and Young, the organic food market is in a dilemma. Organic food is healthy but comes with its own challenges for the farmers. For instance, it is difficult to grow, it is labour intensive., takes longer time to mature and generates lesser yield.

    For consumers however, it is three times more expensive to non-organic food which is produced using genetically modified seeds.

    So, can one eat healthy without it being expensive? The answer lies in Desi Seeds. Also known as Heirloom Seeds. There are many reasons why these seeds are becoming the first choice for farmers and consumers alike. Some of them being:

     

    • Takes the normal cycle time to grow
    • Inexpensive for farmers
    • Very high in Nutrition as opposed to genetically modified seeds
    • Wallet friendly for consumers unlike organic
    • Much tastier- testified by consumers

     

    So how can one buy farm produce made with Desi seeds? Through OneBasket.in .OneBasket is an Agri technology company which has developed a supply chain platform to offer customers a wider choice of groceries produced with Desi Seeds. Onebasket has successfully created a Win-Win situation for Framers and Consumers.

    Mr Madhusudan Reddy Salla- Founder of OneBasket said “Today 95% of the farm produce available in the market are cultivated with commercial seeds that are mostly genetically modified for better resistance to pests and higher yield.Most of the organic labelled products available also use genetically modified seeds. Since “Organic” has become very popular.”

    He added “Since organic food is more expensive to grow with a lesser yield, farmers opt out of producing them. This results in genetically modified food being labelled as “Oraganic” and consumers paying a premium for no better grade of food.”

    How can a consumer find out if what they have bought is organic or not? They can’t. At least without OneBasket. An block chain based technology, OneBasket provides you with traceability of the source of your food, what are the seeds used to grow them, and the stages the produce has gone through to reach you. You will never pay extra.

    After one year of sales within Hyderabad OneBasket’s customers can differentiate the product by just its taste rather than scanning the QR code that is available behind their products. This encouraged OneBasket to now onboard thousands of farmers that can provide the healthy alternative to commercial grade seeds.

    Within a year of starting operations OneBasket has already been able to list and sell close to 80-100 tonnes worth farm produce on their platform.

    OneBasket gives identity to its farmers and helps consumers directly place their order for the quality of produce they would like to buy.Onebasket has reached USD 1 Million in revenues in a short span of starting operations and expecting FY 22 to end with USD 7-10 million.

     About  OneBasket : OneBasket started in 2019 with a forward vision to change the supply chain of Agri products. The vision was to apply technology to benefit both the farmers and consumers. Over one year in market research and field visits the gap was evident for traceability in the Agri supply chain.

    Customers want better quality products but vendors were pushing out the same product with fancy labels. This led to the development of OneBasket platform that started with 20 farmers and now scaled to 200 in a span of 6 months.

    OneBasket applies technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create a marketing and identity platform for Indian farmers and the un-organized food supply chain.  Our full-stack supply chain platform uses AI and farmer assisted Machine Learning (ML) to trace and grade food grains digitally. The platform provides traceability, guaranteed quality, and ease of transaction between farmers, millers, and consumers.

    With over 8000 active subscribers and farmers calling in to enrol every day, we would soon be beating our forecasts set forth for this fiscal. Currently, we are billing around 50K USD in monthly sales and estimate to get to 100K USD monthly sales before March 2020. The company has witnessed customer’s awareness and willingness to subscribe to the produce/farmer for continued supply.
