EFFORTS ARE TO COVER 2000 VILLAGES UNDER BANKING FACILITIES BY 2012, SAID
SH JASBIR SINGH, REGIONAL DIRECTOR, RBI

Sh Jasbir Singh, Regional Director, RBI Chandigarh addressing the audience A view of the select audience attending the session

Chandigarh Management Association (CMA) organised a seminar on “Overview
of RBI-prospective in focus at Bhartiya Vidhya Bhavan, Chandigarh Shri Jasbir
Singh, Regional Director of RBI, Chandigarh said that the main function of the
RBI is to regulate the issue of Bank Notes and keeping of reserves with a view to
securing monetary stability and generally to operate the currency and credit
system of the country to its advantage.
Shri Jasbir Singh while outlining the functions of RBI said that it enunciates the
Monetary Policy other than management of foreign exchange reserves. He said
that RBI has financial institution developmental role also.
The Reserve Bank designs and implements the regulatory policy framework for
banking and non-banking financial institutions with the aim of providing people
access to the banking system, protecting depositors' interest, and maintaining
the overall health of the financial system.
Shri Jasbir Singh said that the rapid pace of growth achieved by the financial
system in the deregulated regime necessitated a deepening and widening of
access to banking services.
The new millennium has seen the Reserve Bank play an active role in balancing
the relationship between banks and customers; focusing on financial inclusion.
But still there are about 145 million people, mostly living in the rural areas, who
do not have any access to banking system. Now efforts are to cover 2000 villages
under banking facilities by 2012.
While talking on inflation, he said the black money finding it way through the
system results in an increase in the price of goods. However, present increase in
the prices of basic food items such as onion, pulses are the issues of governance
for matching the supply with the demand.
Shri Jasbir Singh said that in order to control the rising inflation, RBI in its
quarterly monetary policy declared on January 25 raised Repo rate , the one at
which RBI lends to banks will now be 6.50%, reverse repo, the rate banks receive
for depositing funds RBI will be at 5.50%. Cash reserve ratio, the amount of
deposits that banks have to keep aside with the central bank, was left
unchanged at 6%. He said that The Reserve Bank projected GDP growth at 8.5%.
Dr. P.K.Vasudeva, past president CMA concluded the session and thanked Sh
Jasbir Singh for sharing his views and enlightening the audience regarding
various aspects of RBI

INTERACTIVE SESSION ON 'PATENTS
AND IPR-AN OVERVIEW”
Chandigarh Management Association (CMA) organised an interactive session on
''Patents and IPR-An Overview” at Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan. Dr. Neelima Jerath,
Executive Director of Punjab State Council of Science and Technology was the
main speaker.
While speaking on the occasion, Dr. Neelima said that everyone, who matters in
scientific circles, is aware of intellectual property rights (IPR) and the importance
of shielding scientific discoveries, with commercial possibility, in a network of
patents.
She expounded on the technicalities of patent protection, the significance of
appraisal of intellectual property and the need to ensure that 'inventors' get the
benefit of its commercial success.
Dr. Neelima Jerath said that a patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention,
which is a product or a process that provides a new way of doing something, or
offers a new technical solution to a problem.
Dr. Jerath said that Patent protection means that the invention cannot be
commercially made, used, distributed or sold without the patent owner's
consent. She elaborated this by citing many case studies. She said that the
protection is granted for a limited period, generally 20 years.
Other who spoke on the occasion were Dr. PK Vasudeva, past president of CMA
and Er. M.L.Garg, Executive Member of CMA.

“EMERGING TRENDS IN SKILLS DEVELOPMENT,
FOCUS : FOREIGN STUDENTS IN AUSTRALIA"
Chandigarh Management Association (CMA) today organized an interactive talk
on “Emerging Trends in Skills Development, Focus: Foreign Students in
Australia". The talk was delivered by Dr. Robert Ibakaran, renowned Academician
from the Canberra University, Australia
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Robert said that it is unfortunate that students
from India come to Australia more for settling or doing business there rather than
acquiring skills. He said that there is nothing wrong with the youth of India except
for the mind-set that they can get better lifestyle abroad. He said in India
engineers and doctors are now getting better salaries and perks.
What is lacking in the Indian educational systems is that Indian institutions have
not grown to imbibe the emerging global environment to make then
employable. The need is to change the curriculum and the methodology to
impart education.
Talking about the racialism in Australia, Prof. Robert said even though some
violence has occurred in the past but affected persons still want to live in
Australia because of better life and amenities available there. He said many
aspirants opting for studies in Australia have dropped down compared to
previous years as per latest statistics, but for the reasons other than violence.
Dr. P.K.Vasudeva, past president CMA while concluding the session said that the
emerging trends are for imparting non-traditional avenues of skills development,
such as skills for project management, entrepreneurship, and facilities
management, besides social and organizational skills. Brig. Benerji proposed
vote of thanks.
