Hero Honda is Now Hero MotoCorp Ltd

Hero Honda Motors Ltd(HHML) officially renamed as Hero MotoCorp Ltd. In the run-up to the unveiling of its new global brand identity, the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer has received the necessary statutory approval from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) for the changeover to the new name. India’s number one two wheeler maker in terms of sales has formally announced that the name change that will come into effect from Friday, 29th of July 2011. This comes as Honda of Japan sold 26 percent stake in the joint venture company to the Hero Group. As part of the deal Honda will be compensated with royalty payouts depending on net sales. Honda was in contract with the Hero Group till 2014 and both companies had agreed to their share technology. But since, Honda came into India as a separate entity, things weren’t going well between the two partners.
Honda then decided to prematurely end the contract and part ways with the Hero Group. Until now, Hero was depending on Honda of Japan for technical support. Now, with Honda becoming one of the major competitors in the market, poses a different challenge to the newly christened Hero MotoCorp. The bike maker sure has big plans to promote the new brand as the company plans to unveil the new brand in London on August 9 as India’s largest two-wheeler maker. According to Pawan Munjal, the name change marks a beginning of a new era of innovations. The bike maker plans to expand their footprint not just in India but also across markets all across the world. The bike maker will also work to further strengthen its hold over the Indian two-wheeler market in the years to come.

RCA Secretary Sanjay Dixit suspended

Rajasthan Cricket Association(RCA) Secretary Sanjay Dixit was "suspended" by president CP Joshi at a meeting held in Udaipur on Friday. Joshi has nominated K K Sharma as the "acting secretary". Dixit and Joshi has been at loggerheads for a long time now. The Joshi faction had fired first salvo by appointing Giriraj Sanadya as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) but Dixit brought in Mahesh Joshi as "Chairman" claiming support of 15 districts. The rift deepened further as Joshi faction held a meeting at Udaipur and with said support of 20 districts "suspended" secretary Dixit and handed over the charge to "acting secretary" Sharma. "There were 20 district representatives present in the meeting today and unanimous decision was taken to remove Sanjay Dixit from secretary's post. A five-member high power committee including Sharma, Somendra Tiwari, Mahendra Sharma, B.K. Upadhyaya and Giriraj Sanadya was constituted to look into the affairs of the RCA," Sharma said.

Dixit said the move was "unconstitutional." "Any representation from an association cannot be called official representation," Dixit said. "Many of the so-called representatives there did not even know that an RCA meeting would take place." Former RCA president, Lalit Modi, who had been ousted from the association by Dixit, welcomed the developments. "Dixit was ruining cricket in Rajasthan. Irregularities have become common in the RCA functioning," Modi said to TOI by mail.

Men deliver Child in Rajasthan!

Rajasthan's some of health centre sockhed the nation with the news when it threw all biological facts to the winds and provided “delivery” details of two dozen men. What more, one of them had delivered seven times in eight months. At this health department sub-centre in Kotda town of Udaipur district, among the patients who have had institutional deliveries since December 2010 are 32 men. Not only this, the centre’s records show some women have delivered more than one baby over this period. And all these men and women have been duly handed over cheques as stipulated under the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) for each delivery. Health authorities in Udaipur recently unearthed the scam, and according to District Collector Hemant Gera, all cheques had been issued by one auxiliary nurse and midwife (ANM), Rekha Bhati, since December 2010. Some of the cheques bore Bhati’s name too. “Our inquires till now have shown that out of all deliveries done by the ANM, only a few were legal. We found that the ANM had used four or five names on most of the cheques she authorised,” said Gera, adding that a complaint was lodged against Bhati with the Anti-Corruption Bureau on Monday.

Raja names PM, Chidambaram in 2G scam

Former Telecom Minister and 2G accused A Raja on Monday dragged in the Prime Minister and then finance minister Chidambaram names while defending himself in court. Defending himself before a special CBI court for the first time, Raja said that the Prime Minister was aware of the sale of equity by Swan and Unitech to foreign companies. Raja said that Finance Minister, in the presence of the PM, had said that the sale of equity is not illegal and was to attract FDI.

The 47-year-old DMK MP pleaded before Special CBI Judge O.P. Saini that there was nothing wrong in his decision of not auctioning 2G spectrum as he had "implemented only what I have inherited." Senior Advocate Sushil Kumar, appearing for Mr. Raja, said if Mr. Raja is being prosecuted for following a certain policy then all Telecom Ministers since 1993 are liable to be prosecuted as they too followed the same policy. "If policy pursued by me was wrong, then all former Telecom Ministers since 1993 should also be in jail with me (Raja)," the counsel said while opposing framing of charges against Mr. Raja. He said, "As Telecom Minster Arun Shourie distributed 26 licences while Dayanidhi Maran distributed 25 and I (Raja) distributed 122 licences. Numbers make no difference, however, it is to be noted that none of them auctioned the spectrum. "If they had done no wrong, why am I being questioned? Let them deny that they have not done what I did. I was just following the 2003 Cabinet decision that is not to auction 2G spectrum. If I am following the law, I am not liable to be prosecuted. Infact, I should be rewarded," Mr. Raja said.

Committee of Secretaries recommends 51% FDI in Retail

Committee of Secretaries(CoS) today recommended allowing 51% FDI in the multi-brand retail, with a rider that the foreign investment should be at least USD 100 million. "The Committee of Secretaries (CoS), which met under the Cabinet Secretary Ajit Kumar Seth, also decided that the overseas mega retail chains will have to pump in at least half of their investment in the back-end supply chain," a source said. The politically sensitive issue will soon be taken to the Cabinet, the source added. Several global retailers like Wal-Mart are waiting in the wings for a full-scale entry into India''s multi-brand retail segment.

The final clearance by the secretaries will have to be endorsed by the UPA leadership, which is likely to weigh the pros and cons of the move, especially ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections scheduled next year. Last year, the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) had initiated a debate on allowing FDI in the multi-brand retail sector, which is dominated by mom-and-pop stores. At present, India allows FDI only in single brand retail chains like Nike and Louis Vuitton, with a cap of 51 per cent.
Winner: If cabinet approve the 50% FDI in Multiple retail definitely Big Corporate house, Foreign retail players will be winners and Middle class people will gets jobs in these stores.
Looser: Small size stores and general store owners in small and medium size cities, who will face the heat and indirectly people working in these shops will loose jobs, some economics also think that there are chances that they can control the price in India as big stores like Wal mart can buy 50% of production of any crop and can control the price.

Sachin Pilot to head IT & Postal Department

Newly appointed Minister of State for IT and Communications Milind Deora has been given the charge of the Telecom Department and his peer, Sachin Pilot, will take care of IT and Postal issues. Last week, the 34-year old Deora, a two-time Congress MP from South Mumbai, had taken charge as Minister of State for IT and Communications. Minister for IT and Communications Kapil Sibal has decided the responsibilities of both Ministers of State, official sources said. While taking charge, Deora had said there is scope for improvement in the telecom sector, while emphasising on maximising telecom penetration in the country. He had said he would identify the areas which require improvement. An accomplished guitarist, Deora had said that his first and foremost priority would be be to increase telephony services in rural areas at affordable prices, while ensuring revenue to the government at the same time.

This move is major setback to image of Ajmer MP Sachin Pilot's in Congress party as he has given Postal and IT Department which has not too much to do while Milind Deora who was appointed after resignation of his father gets telecom department. we were expecting Sachin Pilot to get some new responsibility in cabinet reshuffle or some major role but unfortunately congress has nothing new for Pilot.

India starts 25th Nuclear Plant work in Rajasthan

India Monday started construction work on two 700 MW indigenous nuclear power reactors that are estimated to cost Rs.12,000 crore. The reactors are scheduled to be operational by 2016. “The target is five years, but we are hopeful to complete it before the scheduled time,” Srikumar Banerjee, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, said here after the formal construction work began on seventh and eighth units of the Rawatbhata Atomic Power Project nearly 250-km from the state capital Jaipur. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) currently has six units at Rawatbhata, of which five are operational. One unit has been decommissioned because of obsolete technology. Banerjee, who is also the secretary of the Atomic Energy Department, said 50 percent of the power production from the new project, based on the indigenous Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor technology, would be earmarked for Rajasthan. The remaining power will be supplied to the Northern Electricity Grid.
NPCIL currently runs 20 nuclear power reactors in different locations of the country with an installed capacity of 4,780 MW. “Seven new reactors are under construction. It will increase the production capacity by 5,300 MW,” said Shreyans Kumar Jain, Chairman and Managing Director of NPCIL. On completion of the seven units that are under construction, the total installed capacity of nuclear power generation in India will be 10,080 MW. Jain said NPCIL is targetting 14 units of 700 MW capacity each, taking the total installed capacity to 20,000 MW by 2020. On safety measures, Jain said NPCIL has introduced extra security features in the projects taking lessons from the crisis in Japan after the March earthquake and tsunami.

Cabinet reshuffle and Rajasthan MPs

Union cabinet reshuffle on Tuesday catapulted Rajasthan politics to new heights at the Centre with six MPs from the state making it big in the UPA-II government. Never before have as many parliamentarians from the state found a place in the Union council of ministers. Three of them are first-time MPs. With the latest induction of Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, a first-time MP and close aide of AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi, as minister of state for home, 30% of the Congress MPs from Rajasthan have been included in the Union government. With two cabinet ministers and four MoS, the increased representation of Rajasthan at Centre is expected to result in augmented development of the desert state. The Congress' state president underlined that besides getting increased representation at the Centre, the Rajasthan MPs have got some of the key portfolios. "This will definitely lead to greater development in Rajasthan," Chandrabhan asserted.
Union commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma, a Rajya Sabha MP from the state, has been given the additional charge of textiles ministry. Union minister for road transport and highways C P Joshi retained his portfolio despite reports suggesting that his powers could be clipped. Union ministers of state Sachin Pilot (communications and IT), Namo Narain Meena (finance) and Mahadev Singh Khandela (tribal affairs) too have retained their portfolio. Joshi and Khandela are first-time MPs. A member of the Alwar royal family, Singh's inclusion in the council of ministers (CoM) is an attempt by the Congress to lure Rajputs, who are considered traditional BJP supporters in the state. Singh is the first Rajput leader from the Congress to become a minister at the Centre in the past 64 years. The five politically important castes from Rajasthan now have a representation in the CoM—Jats (Khandela), Brahmins (Joshi and Sharma), Meenas (Namo Narayan), Gurjars (Pilot) and Rajputs (Singh). "The party has tried to please the major castes by offering their representatives ministerial berths," a former PCC office-bearer said.

Google+ Vs Facebook

Google recently launched Google+ silently without much fanfare to compete with Social networking giant Facebook. Google+ is in limited Field Trial at present. Google is testing with a small number of people, but soon Google+ project is ready for everyone. While Google claims that it’s a ‘field trail’ and currently the service is strictly based on invitations as their servers are ‘overloaded’, we see that as a tried and tested way of creating a viral wave of ‘unrest’ & ‘yearning’ among people worldwide. Some of features of Google+ and facebook are listed here. There is a lot of first hand analysis of the supposed ‘Facebook killer’ over the Internet.

POSITIVE Google+ over Facebook
1. Google+ provides better privacy and well layered grouping – circles
2. Google+ does not have annoying applications like facebook (may be yet)
3. Google+ combines facebook and twitter together when the main features are concerned
4. Google+ is simple and sweet – May be just because it new
5. Google+ uses the google chat for chatting. It is much better than facebook chat
NEGATIVE Google+ over Facebook
1. Google+ lacks some features that facebook has (Since it’s new and beta)
2. Google+ does not have anything special for a typical facebook freak who does not care much about privacy
3. Google+ does not have the own powerful branding as a social network (It’s a sub-product of google and not a mere social network brand like “facebook”) However, this is how it could be released because a unique branding is too weeker to compete facebook.

IRCTC new website soon, No place for Agents

Indian Railways is all set to roll out its own e-ticketing service, which will have no room for travel agents and will be reserved for individual users. "Unlike the e-ticketing service of IRCTC, the new service by Indian Railway will have no role of travel agents and commercial organisations. Only individual users will be allowed to book on the portal," said a Railway official. Travel agents in the IRCTC service have been accused of blocking tickets to sell them at a premium. Public resentment has also led the railways to bar travel agents from booking tatkal tickets during peak hours on the IRCTC portal. Under the new railway e-ticketing service, individual customers would need to register themselves for the first time for availing the services. The registration will be free of charge. A maximum of eight transactions per user ID per month will be allowed in the beginning, the official said, adding, the service charges levied will be Rs five per ticket for sleeper class and Rs 10 per ticket for all other classes.

The new service will be available on its web portal Its launch will be announced after necessary clearance for payment gateway transaction, the official said. The service will be available from 0030 hrs to 2330 hrs.

He said the service will provide passengers another avenue to book tickets, while easing the pressure from the IRCTC website considerably. On offer is also a service for booking tickets on the mobile platform. Customers desirous of utilising the facility and having Internet facilities will have to download mobile ticketing application on mobile phones from Indian Railway's website, the official said.
