It was November 2010, when we decided to bring Disha as a monthly publication. Many did not believe this could be possible but with the present issue in your hand after all the earlier monthly issues, we can say: Where there is a will, there is a way. Disha is understandably intended to be the mouthpiece of the BBNIA and it has been our effort to record all issues of importance taken up by the Association at all levels and also of the details of proposals decided and discussed in various monthly meetings. Results of employment generation programs by the industry in collaboration with government have also been reported in Disha and so also were the CSR activities of our members. We have also been keeping an eye on the reporting of the press in different newspapers and picking up stories of importance to us for inclusion in our publication every month. In addition to the above, BBNIA interacted with various authorities from the State and the Centre such as the Ministers and senior administrative officers. Reports on these interactions were generally included, sometimes as cover stories. Health matters, life matters, monthly Quiz, Jokes and meaningful quotes were the other topics which were included in Disha. Any other matter of interest to the readers can be included on popular demand. The editorial team of Disha extends its grateful thanks to all its readers.

THINK TANK

Pillar to Post
I am aware of the strain being experienced by various participants who join us in the meetings, work shops, interactions and others because it involves time which is generally in a very short supply with us. But friends, in the present scenario, a lot of change is noticed in the working and approach of the government and its officers. The time when we had to run, using the proverbial phrase from pillar to the post is over. A definite rapport is being established between those who dispense and those who receive. This is noticeable from the very recent meetings we have had with the Excise & Taxation Department, the officers of the National Institute of Design and the departmental sponsored meeting with the officers of the Central Excise. The meeting with the officers of Excise & Taxation Department at Sarover Portico on November 8, was highly encouraging for us not only in terms of information exchanged but also for more than 300 participants joining in. The departmental officers were willing to continue with the deliberations even after three hours and it was agreed to have another session between us in the near future. I am grateful to my fellow members who have been so responsive for the various activities of the Association during the recent months.

COVER STORY
INDIAN RETAIL

Future Tense!
As we go to the press the government has deferred the Cabinet decision

FDI in Retail
Though the industry, largely, welcomed the governments decision to allow FDI in retail segment, the decision appears to be in doldrums with various segments opposing the move.
ndustry and Commerce Minister Mr Anand Sharma was complimented by a contingent of Indian industrialists and complimented him for getting Cabinets clearance for much awaited proposal for allowing FDI in the retail segment. Future Group, Spencer, Next, Bharti Retail, were looking forward to this liberalisation process and the foreign capital to carry out their expansion plans. There appears to be quite a furore over the issue and opposition coming from unexpected quarters without understanding the real issue. Would the FDI really kill the local retailer, especially when the big stores would largely be concentrated in Tier-II and Tier-III cities? The Government had been mulling over the idea for the last three years as one of the essential measures to combat inflation and boost the economy especially sluggish and gloomy global economic scenario. Prime Minister aptly delivered the warning at the Parliaments winter session that if we dont manage our affairs well we can also go

down, considering the growing crisis in the global economy. Bringing in FDI in the multi-brand retail segment was considered as one of the positive step to boost the economy, but it has not gone too well in certain quarters and the matter is still open for debate. According to Nandita Dasgupta, who teaches economics at the University of Maryland, FDI in retail will transform the way perishable agricultural produce is acquired, stored, preserved, and marketed and thus help control Indias persistent food inflation. Dasgupta argues that if effectively implemented, FDI in retail sector has the potential to bring in foreign capital, technology and managerial expertise of big international retailers; and develop an efficient linkage between the back-end supply chain and the front-end via capital investment and technological inputs. Dasgupta points out that countries like Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia,

DISHA . November 2011 . 3

COVER STORY

Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, and Thailand allowed 100 per cent FDI in multibrand retail since 90s and many of them have had encouraging experiences. According to Dasgupta, China permitted FDI in retail as early as 1992 without impacting local small retailers, and in fact, since 2004, the number of small outlets have risen from 1.9 million to over 2.5 million in China. The need, however, today is to look at each economic policy issues in a broader perspective and not with a parochial coloured lenses.

INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE

What is Undermining Indian Growth Story?

the growth in Industrial Output has come down to its lowest possible level of 1.9-2.5 % and all estimates of the Govt. of India of growth in GDP has gone for a toss as it has fell down to 6.9 % against budgetary projections of 9%. The biggest dilemma in present scenario in mind of every entrepreneur is what is the remedy. The Central Bank choose to jack up the interest rates thus creating reduction in demand so as to tame the inflation by which resulted counter productive. If you all can recall I had written in Disha after Budget that FM's projected figures to control deficit are unrealistic and that has been proven true as he has already gone twice for approval of supplementary grants to meet expenses of the Govt, which has further worsened the situation. One has to keep in mind that every percentage hike in interest rate eats away 40% of bottom line of a SME and if the same is not reversed , the time is not far when the Banks will be flooded with NPAs as SMEs are unable to sustain their operations at the prevailing interest rates as such Govt. must take a serious note of the demand of SME Sector for Subvention of Interest Rates for this sector in particular. I am amazed if the hike in interest rates are not working to tame the inflation than why can't we think reverse i.e. why cant we choose to take some drastic steps by reducing input cost so that the prices come down and demands increases eg. temporary reduction in duties / taxes, sply. of Petroleum products, cut in Govt's expenditure and provide some stimulus package to the Industry thereby fueling the growth. Another option can be introduction of some economic reforms, which seems difficult as they are already struck with introduction of FDI in Retail or else if RBI is helpless in reduction in rates drastically at least let them reduce CRR so as to inject some funds into the system. If we all will recall in 2009 at the time of Lehman's crisis, our FM did try all these measures due to which India could sail through that period but this time Govt. is in NO mood to take any positive steps as they themselves are busy in saving their own existence. I think its time that we all have to tighten our belts and make ourselves self sustainable as I seriously doubt much help coming from the Govt.'s side.

policy paralysis in the wake of a slew of graft scandals, combined with high inflation, rising interest rates and an uncertain global economic environment are undermining India's domestic demand-driven growth story. The world's 3rd largest economy is going through its worst phase as

E- Filing

Mandatory e-filing of Returns of E&T

he Excise & Taxation Department, Govt. of Himachal Pradesh through its notification dated 24.10.11 made a mandatory provision for filing of on line return on ST-XXVI declaration form through its website www.hptax.gov.in. In this regards awareness cum training seminar was sought by BBN Industries Association Accordingly, in order to clarify the practical and operational problems, the department organized a workshop for imparting knowledge for online filing of return and STXXVI Declaration on 8-11-2011. Mr. Arun Rawat President welcomed Mr. Sanjay Bhardwaj, Joint Excise & Taxation Commissioner and the team of officers accompanying him for organizing a workshop to provide knowledge of e-filing of monthly/quarterly/yearly return and form ST-XXVI declaration. He informed that the Govt. vide notification dated 24.10.2011 has made mandatory e-filing of returns and the ST-XXVI declaration and the details provided in their website. Mr. Rawat informed that as the time was very short the department was requested for more time to implement the decision. However, as the implementation could not be deferred, the department agreed to take lenient view for the present but after the present workshop e-filing was to be adopted in totality. He requested the members to get all their

problems sorted out during these deliberations. Shri Sanjay Bhardwaj, JETC gave an insight into the introduction of the e-filing system and informed that the system was floated for comments from the public on 15 August 2011 to check the feasibility of t h e s o f t wa re i n t ro d u c e d by t h e department. He lamented that response was not sufficient to enable the department to modify their software and as such after deliberations it was decided to make e-filing mandatory w.e.f October 24, 2011. He, however, assured that the department is aware of the teething problems connected with introduction of the system and is extending all out support to the dealers in understanding and clearing all doubts and bottlenecks that may be noticed at this nascent stage. Shri Bhardwaj informed that realizing certain difficulties in treatment of exports and imports of the material from the state, the period of mandatory efiling of transactions covering exports is fixed for 25th November, 2011.In matter of imports which cover avariety of transactions, sufficient period is being given to examine every aspect of transaction so as to introduce it finally from 15th December, 2011.

Mr. Alok Jain TCS gave a detailed laptop presentation lasting over three hours to a record gathering of more than 300 persons representing various industrial organizations, transport union management and other local dealers covered by the said orders. Doubts raised by various parties on issues on e-filing and the difficulties experienced by them were voiced. Problems that had immediate solutions were clarified by Mr. Jain and on other issues which needed additional efforts of the department; it was assured that system shall be suitably improved. Mr. Jain, said that some companies have already started working on line but the response is not very satisfactory. He said that the R.B.I. is not allowing the government to integrate with the private Banks and only three Banks of the State, the SBI, the PNB and the UCO were authorized to collect e-deposits from the assesses. Others having accounts in banks other than these three, the funds may have to be transferred through RTGS payments to the nominated banks. This becomes essential as the tax payments have to be integrated with the treasuries to avoid leakages. The department is collecting tax payment through e-banking in the month of January, 2012. He requested the

E- Filing
industries and traders to keep looking over website of the department regularly as the portal is being integrated with the software for SMS alerts. Shri Jain gave a presentation for e-filing of returns and generation of ST form XXVI and also gave awareness about the generation and filling the form by filling dummy figures. He emphasized to fill up the Email ID and the TIN with its validity carefully and also go through the terms and condition contained in the web portal www.hptax.in. This web portal is meant for actual tax payers. The industries/traders can down load whatever has been filled in the form. He further advised that in case the approval of the application is not received within a week, they should report to the department because all the correspondence will be made through the same Email ID. He also advised the industries that in case some one runs away with all the credentials of the company or cases of misuse come to their notice, they should report the matter to the AETC so that the department could reset the Email ID. If the pass word has not been given, although it is very rare, yet in such cases they should call help box so as to enable the department to check that the Email has been sent but not received. The toll free number to take any clarification is 1800-180-8066 and the Email ID is: etchp@nic.in. He said that e-declaration form is costing Rs. 10/per form. If in a week, 50 forms are to be used a sum of Rs.500/may be deposited in the account of the department in advance to enable the system to set off automatically cost of each form against the deposits. Shri Jain also replied to the queries and doubts raised by the participants. The main problem raised by many members was that for the incoming goods, Form XXVI cannot be generated in case where :The vehicle is carrying material for more than one consignee. The material of one consignee is contained in more than one vehicle, because the contents contained in the vehicles are not known to the consignee company. There was a definite problem with recordings for imports and Shri Jain, said the problems raised shall be attended and the software modified where necessary. He said software has inbuilt system of providing help to problems, but in case some of these remain un- resolved, the departmental officers may be contacted immediately. Shri R.D. Janartha, AETC who is looking after this area also assured his personal help and also of his staff in ensuring that efiling system gets implemented systematically so that there is no leakage of government revenue. Shri Arun Rawat thanked Shri Sanjay Bhardwaj and all other representatives of the department for deliberations with industry and other stake holders and hoped the next workshop will be held early and participated by still higher numbers. The issues involved were many and needed to be discussed with the departmental officers in details. It was felt that the time available was not sufficient to deliberate on other matters. It was, therefore, decided to fix up another workshop in the very near future for the benefit of assesses. CJ

SOLAR ENERGY

Applications of Solar Thermal Systems

In India, concentrating solar devices producing higher temperatures required for IPH and cooling applications have been deployed successfully
ndustrial process heat (IPH) applications below 250C contribute to about 20% of India's total oil consumption (almost 80% of which is imported). Cooling and air conditioning is another energy intensive process. According to a study by McKinsey, the power deficit in India could be as high as 25% by 2017. Due to the limited supplies of fossil fuel, its rising costs and pollution problems, and the ever increasing power shortage, there is a need to make use of renewable sources of energy to meet this IPH and comfort cooling energy demand. About 5 to 7 kWh/sq.m. of global solar radiation (on nontracking horizontal surface) is available in India for about 300330 days a year. Also, many cooling loads have a high coincidence with the availability of solar irradiation. The use of an appropriate solar technology for cooling and IPH applications can have a positive impact on the Indian energy and environmental scenario. In India, concentrating solar devices producing higher temperatures required for IPH and cooling applications have been deployed successfully. This article will shed light on the various solar concentrating technologies. However, large scale use of concentrated solar energy has not been reported yet. The important reason seems to be that the implementation of such

technologies for IPH & cooling applications poses many challenges. The solar industrial process heat system needs to be designed properly, considering the random nature of the solar radiation as well as load characteristics. The key points while designing the system are listed. Finally, some basic parameters that should be considered while evaluating the economic viability of investment in any solar energy system are discussed.

Solar Thermal System applications

Comfort Cooling Applications
Solar assisted cooling systems use the thermal energy of solar radiation captured through solar concentrators to power thermally driven cooling machines. As many cooling loads, such as air conditioning, have a high coincidence with the availability of solar irradiation, the combination of solar thermal and cooling obviously has a high potential to replace conventional cooling machines based on electricity. Cooling and air conditioning is one of most energy intensive processes amongst the various energy consuming applications. Any technology that can help to save energy in the cooling and air-conditioning applications can help to reduce India's power shortage burden to a great extent.

Applications in Community Cooking

Many religious places and schools/colleges across the country provide meals to devotees and students respectively. Many of them have community cooking facilities which utilize high cost fuels like LPG. Solar energy can be used to substitute the use of these fuels. A brief analysis of the per-meal intake and corresponding thermal energy requirement for cooking is as shown in the table below:

Rice 100gm, Dal 50gm, Vegetable 50gm (dry weight) Chapattis Hot water, milk, etc 25gm per chapatti, 2 chapaties per meal 200ml equivalent 85-90 kcal / meal

In India, concentrating solar devices producing higher temperatures (80C to 250C) have been deployed successfully. In the concentrating collector type, majority of the solar thermal installations on ground have been of the parabolic dish collector type. For various reasons parabolic troughs have not been successfully deployed in industrial process heating requirement in India.

I Feel, "What ever makes your work easier possesses automation as their epicenter". Now, we have an internet connected mobile. Instead of going to cyber we find our work in our hands. We've never thought of it this way. If we take a look around ourselves, You are surrounded by machines. Just ask yourself how long ago the time was when you firstly noticed these machines used in your daily household. Nowadays you pay your bills online, get recharges on your mobile itself, get money by accessing few HMI's which your ATM is. Now, What I want to perpetuate is Suddenly "Its Not That Impossible To Think Out Of Our Minds"

What you see is changing Every day. Now what a Normal Man thinks that he needs is already in world. Automation is supremacy, it's an encyclopedia of the future, it's an aroma to a new ravishing cuisine, it's a laziness of doing a whole lot in just a push of a button. Automation is a redundancy it's the priority it's now it's here and we have to have its slice or even a mouthful because, we can't afford to go backward on a steep slope that the journey of mankind has been.

n a recent article, Shri Suresh K. Chadha, Professor at the University Business School, Panjab University Chandigarh, has stressed that for India to grow faster, the government needs to promote entrepreneurship. India is among the world's biggest economies today. It is also the world's second fastest growing economy, integrating with a rapid pace with other countries that matter. It is believed that by 2050, India can overtake the United States to emerge as the second biggest economy next to China. In fact a report issued by Price water house Coopers, India has the potential even to outdo China by then. Global attention today is fixed on India and China, which offer considerable opportunities to investors. With the rise in GDP and general economy of the populace, India and China provide to the entrepreneurs opportunities to reach out to millions of customers with sufficient purchasing power. India has a unique opportunity to emerge as a major global player in knowledge based services with a massive potential of human resource. It is estimated that India has 765 million strong

workforce (between 15 and 64 years) at all levels of education which comes to 17 percent of the world's total working population. It is therefore imperative to improve the skills and competence of the workforce in the manufacturing, technical, managerial and the entrepreneurial areas to hasten the process of transformation of the economy. Entrepreneurs generate most of the new job opportunities in market economies. With the world's population estimated to cross nine billion during the current century, we must have a vibrant entrepreneurial climate so that our children can hope to live reasonably comfortably. The primary objective of higher education is to foster research, produce skilled manpower and spread knowledge to better serve the needs of society. Entrepreneurship if understood in the right spirit is not relevant to setting up of an industrial project only. A person who is enterprising in his approach can drive a positive change wherever he or she may be. Thus entrepreneurship also covers every sphere of activity required of a workforce which

necessitates their choosing of an activity that can ensure their growth. Resultantly, the present generation coming out of the universities should have awareness about financial, market, credit, geopolitical and environmental risk management. Today, most of the universities are expanding as far as their administration is concerned without much attention to creating academic resources. It is in this context that the government collaborates with our universities to create a fund for entrepreneurship and innovation so as to enable them to produce well groomed business leaders. Shri Suresh Chadha says: Academicindustry alliances have to be strengthened. We have to find our own solutions to the problems that come in the way of promoting excellence. We must learn from the successes as well as mistakes of the West. Academic-Industry alliances have to be created in the areas of global significance such as energy, health-care, life sciences and clean technologies with an open mind.

Mandatory Procurement from Small Industries

he new procurement policy announced by the Central Cabinet on November 1, 2011 provides for all central government departments and public sector undertakings to purchase 20% of its requirements from the MSMEs. Within this limit 4% orders should be placed with entrepreneurs belonging to

scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and the balance 16% with others. It is understood the above policy which is voluntary in nature for the first three years to be made mandatory thereafter will provide a business opportunity of 35000 crore to the MSMEs. This was a long pending demand of the

industry and is a step in the right direction. We hope the orders are implemented in letter and spirit and the general tendency to go for the branded goods is carried out by giving due weightage to the products developed by MSMEs.

Installation of 11 KV Breakers
he HPSEB Ltd., has informed that installation of 11 KV breakers at consumer premises having load of 500 KW and above have not been provided in a most cases and in some cases even the protective relays are missing. This results in traveling of a fault from individual consumer to the distribution system of the supplier causing undue trippings because of damage to some weak links in the circuit such as post insulators, GO switches, insulators, jumpers and blowing off of fuses. HPSEB Ltd has decided that connection to prospective consumers shall be released only where breakers have been provided. BBNIA requests all those availing such supplies to ensure that the departmental requirement is provided by the existing units for facility of smooth supply of power.

State's Share from BBMB

he State of Himachal Pradesh gets its share from BBMB projects from November 1, 2011. This means additional Nine Lakh units of Power straightaway from day one. The BBMB has revised its schedule and raised the share of H.P. from 46 MW to 152.6 MW. State's share in the Bhakra Project has gone up from 31 MW to 84 MW and in Dehar Project from 15 MW to 56 MW. From the Pong Dam project, the state was not getting any share earlier but will now get 42 MW of energy. The State will get additional 450 to 500 million units annually, about 100 million units during the lean winter months and 400 million units in the summer. It is big relief for the Industry in the state as hopefully, the power cuts and un-announced power failures/ breakdowns will not occur. Surplus power shall help in expansion of industry in the state as the adjoining states of Punjab and Haryana are experiencing shortage of power resulting in HP becoming the favored place for industrialsation.

Citizen Charter for Baddi Tehsil

addi Tehsil is the first Tehsil in H.P. where Citizen Charter has been introduced on November 1, 2011. Vikas Shukla, Tehsildar Baddi informed that with the introduction of Citizen Charter, every citizen can get his work done within a specified number of days by moving an application complete in all respects to the department. Every work is to be completed by the staff in the number of days provided for every work such as providing of Tatima by the Patwari, clearance of Bank Loan applications, issue of Himachali Certificate, Demarcation of land, Registration of Documents etc., etc. Failure on the part of staff entrusted with the work is to be penalized for the delay. Actual numbers of days allotted for a work are available in the Tehsil Office which can be known while submitting any documents. This is a welcome step and will save public from harassment due to undue delays and is an effective step to stop corruption.

National Safety Award to Elin Appliances

lin Appliances, a Baddi based unit was in the news recently for winning a national safety award. Disha has in the past highlighted some of its performances in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility, environmental concerns, quality control, HR excellence award and has bagged various national awards. The latest award won by this unit is the 12th NSIC National Safety Award- Sarv Shrestha Suraksha Award which was received by the management at Delhi from the Union Minsiter of Labour and Employment, Malikarjun Kharge. Elin Appliances was set up in 2008 at Baddi and have excelled in various fields as the management believes that safety, health and sustainable growth of any enterprise is related to the facilities provided by the management in every operational activity. we, the members of BBNIA and are appreciative of the efforts of the Elin Appliances and take the opportunity to convey our congratulations for their latest award

Inclusive Growth
aking inclusive growth has been the thrust of the UPA government after the NDA route of India shining, for which the UPA government and the other original reformers who mooted the idea of inclusive growth, have faced criticism of ushering in jobless, pro- elite and pro-industry growth in the country. However, the Human Development Report 2011 which was released by the government of India in October 2011 contains encouraging results on the implementation of the policy. As per report, a marked improvement has been noticed in the income and educational levels of members of the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and the Muslim community not only in the urban areas alone but also in the rural areas. Inter-state in-equalities have also narrowed down sharply in the last decade. Kerala continues to lead in human development followed by Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Goa and Punjab. Haryana does not figure in the top ranking states despite higher-thannational growth rate. Gujrat even when regarded as the fastest growing state in the country has performed poorly in some key social indicators. About 70 per cent of children in Gujrat suffer from anemia and almost 45 per cent of children below five years are undernourished. Muslim fertility rate has slowed down due to spread of education and awareness of educated parents to have as many children as can be properly nourished and looked after in the present rising cost of living. The report speaks of the neglect of health services in all states which is a matter of serious concern requiring urgent attention of the policy makers.
