Trust
Today I came across a conversation which compelled me to think how breach of trust has been perpetrated in the society by various elements and how is it affecting our day to day lives.
I was talking with a teacher of Central School, IIT Kharagpur. I wanted to start Sri Sri Sankar Kendra activities in the school. What she told me was shocking to me. She said, "even if your intention is noble and the principal has a high regard for IIT students he may reject your proposal"
I asked on what basis she is saying this. She told me, " The recent event at Ryan International School has perpetrated a shiver to school administrators and any principal will think n number of times to allow activities and people other than the scheduled by the School Committee. CBSE has sent 5 notices till now to each school and has warned against any such possibilities. It has made decision makers risk averge."
Yesterday, I was reading an article - corporate rules for happy life. I was shocked to see, "Trust nobody." as the first line of suggestions!
I was watching a talk of Captain Raghu Raman on Terrorism a few days back. What he revealed was amazing and far beyond any one's conscious thinking. A gory act of slitting the throat of a person by ISIS has far more effect on people's mind than the death of our security forces on daily basis combatting terrorists.
During my undergrad days, I conducted an experiment which I repeated at IIT Kgp as well. I wanted to assess the amount and frequency of loss when I trust that a person can't cheat my belongings.
I kept my singlet room door without locking it. Can you guess how many times I get cheated?
Zero.
Yes, can you believe?
No, because we have been asked to doubt on people around us from childhood. In a controlled boundary setup like an organization or a college, it makes the administrators' work easy and ensure accountability.
I wonder if I can't trust few people in my hostel for my belongings what kind of society are we living in. The how can you ensure a student to trust his teacher, an employee to trust his employer, a citizen to trust his nation. Mistrust is a dangerous poison whose effects are far-reaching than we can think.
Let us not lose our trust in our friends because one of them cheated you.
Let us not lose our trust in our teachers because one boy got killed in that school in their vigilance.
Let us not lose our trust in our caretakers, servants because one of them stole money from your house.
Let us not lose our trust in our doctors because one of them sold kidneys of their patients.
Let us not lose our trust in our bureaucrats because one of them asked bribe from us.
Let us not lose our trust in politicians because one of them looted the country.
Let us not lose our trust in ourselves because once a time you cheated yourself.
Look beyond that 'one of them', 'once a time'.
There lie the people who have trust in humanity, integrity, love, hard work and just need one gesture of your affection and trust to open before you, serve you in all the capacity they have.

काशी की बात
आज जब यह short फिल्म देखी तो बनारस की यादें ताज़ा हो गयीं.
इन गर्मियों में काम के सिलसिले में बनारस जाना हुआ था. कानपुर से बस लेकर इलाहाबाद होते हुए बनारस पहुंचा था. रात के लगभग 1 बज रहे थे. बस स्टैंड से ओला ऑटो लेना उचित समझा. घाट से कोई 1 किलोमीटर पहले zostel नाम के एक हॉस्टल में रुकना हुआ. वहां तक पहुचते पहुचते हिचकोले खाती ऑटो में धूल फांकते बनारस का पहला दर्शन संपन्न हुआ. उतनी रात को राज भई ने एक कॉल में ही फ़ोन उठा लिया देखकर आश्चर्य हुआ. वह घर के पहले माले के ऑफिस में सोता था. दूसरा ऑस तीसरा माला मुझ जैसे अतिथियों के लिए तैयार कर रखा था. Hostelworld पर इतने कम भाड़े में रहने का प्रबंध देखकर चकित हुआ था मैं. इसलिए oyo की बुकिंग कैंसिल कर यहाँ आया था. जिस रूम में मुझे रुकना था उसमे कुछ विदेशी लोग थे और उस वक्त गांजा चढ़ा रहे थे. मेरी स्थिति को देखते हुए उन्होंने दूसरे कमरे में रुकवाना निश्चित किया. वैसे तो कमरे में AC का इंतजाम था पर नवोदय जैसे ऊपर और निचे बिस्तर वाले चार बेड लगे हुए थे. निचे कोई सो रहा था इसलिए मुझे ऊपर का बेड दिया गया. फ़ोन को चार्ज में लगा कर मैं सो गया. सुबह काम के सिलसिले में गंगा पार कर मुगलसराय होते हुए वहां से भिषमपुर जाना था. राज भाई ने बनारस का विस्तृत मैप वाला A2 साइज़ का एक पम्फलेट दिया जिसमे सारे घाट, मंदिर, खाने के नुक्कड़, रेस्टोरेंट, चाट, लस्सी के दूकान और रास्तों का विस्तृत वर्णन था. इसी उत्साह में मैं 6 बजे जग गया. वह मानचित्र लेकर मैं घाट की ओर चला. जैसे जैसे गंगा जी का किनारा पास आ रहा था भीड़ बढती जा रही थी. हवा में गोबर, धूल, कचौरियां , फूल, अगरबत्तियों का गंध मिलकर एक अलग ही सुगंध फैला रहा था, एक अलग ही तासीर. यहाँ बम्बई जैसी भागदौड़ नहीं थी न ही गाँव जैसा ठहरा हुआ समय. हर व्यक्ति अपनी गति से गतिमान था एक सहज भाव से. गाएं, कुत्ते, लोग, पक्षियाँ सब मिलकर एक हो रहे थे. शरीर में एक स्फूर्ति का एहसास हो रहा था, एक ठहराव, एक सहजता का वहीँ मन वातावरण में रमा हुआ था. सब्जी बाज़ार से होते हुए दसाश्वमेध घाट पर निकला और कुछ देर तक गंगा की अनुपम छवि को निहारता रह गया｡

A visit to a village like mine
I am working as an intern with Schneider Electric in market research and business development role. Project is named as ‘Access to Energy’ which expects me to do a market research for suggesting an offer roadmap for energy devices that can create a means of income to a family/household. This visit to Badayun along with Kanpur, Lucknow, Rae Bareli, Barabanki, Sitapur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Hardoi, Bareilley, Nawabganj is a part of the same research.
Access to Energy initiative within Schneider Electric, caters to the energy needs of the Bottom of Pyramid population by solar lanterns, solar home system, solar water pumps, microgrids & streetlights. The most sustainable way of making continuous business is to make offers (combination of products & services) which can provide means to an income for the family or household that buys our offer. This offer roadmap is targeted to states of UP & Bihar for the next 2 years based on the field research.
Recently I was in a village named Jhuksa, tehsil-Dataganj, an unexpected guest of Shri Mor Pal, Vimal, Dhanush Pal(a marginal farmer, 2-3 bigha land holding), 40 km each from Badayun and Bareli. Last evening, I met him traveling from Badayun to Dataganj in search of Khushhali Krishi Kendra (KKK, An initiative of the last government in UP). Dataganj is only 20 km from here but all public mode of transportation ceases to run after 6 pm. Till I reached Dataganj Mandi Krishi Kendra was closed and I had no way to reach back to Bareilly where I and my manager in Schneider Electric had been staying. When they got to know that I am concerned with development of farmers and surveying about them, their need in terms of energy in agriculture, household and business (if any), all three persons – a servant in fire department of Dataganj, a co-villager of Shri Mor and Mor Ji himself in the autorickshaw discussed the issues related to them in length and breadth. When I got concerned about whether I will reach KKK on time I discussed with them the servant extended his helping hand right there and told me to come to his quarter home if I weren't able to get transport to Bareilley. Also, he requested Mor Pal ji to take me along to the KKK. Mor Pal Ji escorted me to the place only to find it closed. I had no option but to return to Bareilley via the road which passes through his village. When I and the two villagers got down from auto he requested me a visit to his home and assess the condition of electricity there.
Mor Pal Ji has 2 sons and 3 daughters. Elder daughter is married and is with her husband younger ones are with him. His elder son, Vimal, has appeared for class 12th board exam this year and is expecting to pass the exam. During a conversation with him I enquired whether he has seen a laptop and if seen has he used it. His answer was affirmative and negative respectively. He told me if he wants to learn there should be a center. Since these assets are costly a person like him cannot afford. There is no center nearby and he will have to go to Bareilley(40 km) to learn. But it seems more beneficial to him to work as a laborer for a mason and earn than to spend money on learning the computer. So, he is the second earning person in his family. Since his home is not connected to grid electricity because of corruption in subscribing to it and later paying even if some thieves get away with the cable connecting to the village they have not subscribed to it and only a LED light source lit for chores in the night. So, studying in the night is not an option. For home systems(inverter, module, battery, controller, and appliances) there is no financial support in terms of EMI or financing from the shop or any other agencies. There are no microfinancing companies working in the area. For a solar pump capital needed is around a lakh which only a big farmer can afford if need to pay at once.
I opened my laptop and surfed for Badayun district on Wiki. The page was in English and he was barely able to read it let alone understanding the stuff. I gave him to read the Hindi version of the same page and he clearly read and understood it. At that moment, I thought will he be able to cope up with increasing dominance of English in our life.
Vimal’s village has low penetration of solar equipment but streetlights are all solar powered. A milk collector from the co-operative has installed 200W system to run centrifuge and fat testing machines. More than 70% homes have not subscribed for electricity connection in the village even if the village is called electrified according to the government data. I was thinking how can a “Yojna” be successful if recipients are so clueless about it and future doesn’t seem any brighter keeping youth like Vimal in mind? There will always be a vast gap in government and agencies effort and ground result if very basic necessities like education, energy, healthcare are ineffective.
I left his home after discussing power and education status of the family and village and left for catching a transport to Bareilley. Mor Pal Ji escorted me this time as well. We waited till 8 pm for any medium to get back to my place but failed. Later, he insisted me to stay at his home and move to Bareilley in the morning as he was concerned with my safety in traveling not in a Roadways bus this time of the day. I accepted the offer and moved to his house.
We laid a cot in the front portion of the house where he keeps his cattle and fodder though a very tidy place. He requested me to change and be ready for dinner. ‘Aaloo ki sookhi sabzi’ with ‘paratha’ was waiting for us. During dinner and later as well we discussed many issues in detail with him and his son. I came to know that this area of Badaun has high crime rate and because of this, he insisted me to stay rather than go by any means to reach in haste. Now it was the time to lay in peace on the cot but mosquitos were playing their game. A net of georgette sari was arranged for my rescue. I had a comfortable sleep under stars after a long time.
In morning I was led to get fresh in ‘maidan’(around a KM from his house in open field). Fields were bare after wheat crop which compelled me to choose a corner behind Eucalyptus trees around a field. After reaching home during hand wash by mistake I used the soap which I think the family used to bath because Mor Pal Ji chose another one. Again, we sat for a ‘chai pe charcha’ with him and neighbors and got some photos clicked. Now it was the time to rush for auto to Bareilley. We bid a goodbye and before that I offered my contact number contact me whenever they feel I can be an instrument of help to him. He only asked whether will I recognize him if he calls me? I was grateful and speechless.
These incidences and situations happened with me are not unexpected for me and I think many of you readers. Many of us still come from this kind of background. The only difference is that we moved from Base of pyramid population to at least a middle-income family but many have to cross that silver line of education and opportunities.
I feel pity for students at premier colleges who look suicide as an option to get rid of problems. By these students’ intelligence, a big chunk of population would have chosen suicide in the regions other than Vidarbha but they see a hope in people like us in NGOs, government, companies and other institutions who are in a position to help them that someday they will be at par with us in opportunities and means.
I feel a need of volunteers dedicated to helping/empowering the people in villages like this in every corner of this country. Also, startups can play a vital role and some are already doing. Schneider along with Art of Living is opening electrical training centers for this purpose and Yuvacharyas in villages are playing their roles very efficiently. Many more need to come in this role.

Union Budget
Union budget of India has a long tradition of itself. It is the annual financial statement in the Article 112 of the constitution of India. The first union budget of independent India was presented in the parliament by the then finance minister R. K. Shanmukham Chetty in 1947.
From then onwards every year the budget has been announced with a little variation in format or time. From this year budget is being announced on 1st of February in morning hours. The day of the month of budget declaration has been changed to keep a time buffer between declaration, implementation and monsoon in the country.
For the fiscal year 2017-2018 budget has been announced by the finance minister Arun Jetaly for the fourth time as the finance minister. This budget was primarily focused on 10 themes - farmers, rural population, youth, poor and underprivileged, infrastructure, financial sector, digital economy, public service, prudent fiscal management, tax administration – honouring the honest.
Major decisions for primary expenditure has been taken for rural and base of the pyramid population like allocation of Rs. 48000 crores for MNREGA and deduction in taxes from 10 % to 5 % for Rs. 2.5 Lacks to 5 Lacks income slab taxpayers. Also, fiscal deficit target has improved to keep at -3.2 % of the GDP. For pharma sector opening of 2 new AIIMS has been declared. For the first-time railway budget is not separate and is included in the main budget.
Due to upcoming elections in various stated, the finance minister refrained himself from declaring big and tempting moves. Rest of the declaration are quite aspirational and will surely be a profitable if implementation on a war footing.

India- 4th largest country in wind power
India has achieved the 4th position globally in wind power installation in 2016-17. The development of wind power in India began in 1986 with first wind farm set up in the coastal area of Maharashtra, Gujrat and Tamilnadu with a capacity of 55 kilowatts. The capacity has significantly increased from then to 27676 MW as of August 2016 and the target for the year 2022 is of 60,000 megawatts in which the main contributor states of Tamilnadu (11900 MW), Gujarat (8800 MW) and in Rajasthan (8600 MW).
As per the assessment of wind power potential in 2011 by Dr Jamai Hussain, India has a capacity to generate 2000 GW. To achieve this level of potential Ministry for Non-Renewable Energy is searching for other methods than off-shore power plants and has announced off-shore wind policy in 2015.
Wind power accounts for 2.5 % in the total power generation in India with an annual increment of 2050 MW for the last 10 years. However, 70% of wind power generation is during 5 month of May to September because of monsoon in which hydel power becomes cheaper due to the large availability of water. Major challenges in the development of wind power are the initial cost for turbines which is more than the hydel and conventional fuel generator. Another challenge is the noise due to blade rotation. It is also a major issue in choosing the location for plant installation. Another challenge is scheduling the wind power which is unpredictable in nature. When the stations are kept away from load centres the transmission losses incurred is a huge loss.
however, the various advantages of wind power against conventional sources are that it needs very less land compared to the Hydel or thermal power stations and it uses the space without affecting local vegetations.
