Here we go………….
This blog which is going to spread knowledge collected from various sources will start the journey with the message given by Mr. Palaniappan Chidambaram, Union Home minister of India on the occasion of inaugurating School of Management new building at Pondicherry University on 27th December 2008.
The Minister touched upon three areas including Indian and world economy status , Terrorism and Management in his special address. He said when UPA came to power in 2004, equitable growth was on top of their agenda and the UPA govt. has achieved fairly well in that agenda at the end of four and half years and it is going strong in that aspect. Further he added that consistent 9% growth does not happen miraculously but for the strong and visionary decisions taken by the Govt. as and when required led the India growth story. Agriculture sector clocked 4% growth on average in the last 4 yrs. due to the Indian farmer community whom we have to appreciate for that spectacular growth. Our Visionary professors and best in class educational institutions made sure that service sector grew with a growth rate of 10% on an average by producing good professionals who were the torch bearers for the service sector growth. First generation entrepreneurs were the people behind India growth story in manufacturing sector because they used the opportunity by challenging the unchallenged and thus making unconventional decisions thereby putting India on the manufacturing map of the world. Indian population’s hardwork and commitment paved the way for the India growth story he added.
When the whole world is ravaged by the financial tsunami, India is not much affected due to the proactive fiscal and monetary policies taken by the policymakers. Sound banking system is the secret of our survival in this tsunami. When governments all over the world are bailing out the multinational financial institutions we are increasing our loans to the agricultural sector from Rs.84, 000 crores to more than Rs.2,80,000 crores. Similarly educational loans will also be increased this year. When whole world is having negative growth rate we will surely clock 7-7.5% growth this year and we will be back to achieve that elusive double digit growth by 2009-2010.
On terrorism he said, we know from where it comes, though we are treating Pakistan as our friendly neighbor it is not treating us in the similar way. Both countries are into third generation after independence and there is no need that this generation should have hatredness in them. India is the only stable democratic country in full sense in the south Asian region. Mumbai terror shook the entire world and only after when we came to stage of “enough is enough”, governments all over the world are responding to it by putting pressure on the forces behind the attacks. I assure you, India will face and counter all the attacks on us by going for a permanent solution. I believe that we have declared our will and intent and now it is for the others to react to that in whatever way they want to respond to that. India will respond to that in a way so as to protect all its citizens and will uphold its sovereignty. Indian citizens has to be eternally vigilant wherever they are. In a civilized society all citizens has to abide by the law of land. There cannot be two groups one abiding and the other not abiding. Everyone has to take minimum measures for their security by being eternally vigilant. Police force is as good as the society from which it comes from, so we cannot blame the police entirely for the mishappenings. Police force behaves in the way its citizens want them to behave. It is the citizens who want to bribe them and choose the easier way when they were caught while not following the law of land. Hence as citizens we need to go by the law of land. This will go a long way in making the country more peaceful and secure than what we are at present. Now the Indian government is stepping up its measures to counter all the anti elements for the country and assure you all that time is not very long for us to achieve 24/7 security in our country.
On management he said that, management is not only earning money but also includes better way in which traffic can be regulated, hospitals can be administered, space missions can be conducted. Though many of you may want to go into corporate world I request some of you to come to public services so that your management learning can be used in making the public systems to work in a more effective and efficient manner. I extend my wishes to all the students in general and management students in particular. 21st century is going to be your century and you are going to be the torchbearers for India. I wish everyone that we live in harmony with the world and in a peaceful and secure India.
He expressed his thanks to the Vice Chancellor, the faculties and students of Pondicherry University for giving him this opportunity.
