FROM THE CMD’S DESK My dear colleagues, A good beginning is more likely to lead to greater success. Conducting poojas etc., before we start any auspicious and important project stresses this belief. World over an emphasis is put on the beginning. Getting off to a good start is essential, as the beginning is the foundation upon which everything that comes after rests. Indian culture, perhaps more than any other, stresses the importance of beginning things properly. As all of you know, VISHU, which epitomizes this concept of beginning things in good spirit with an auspicious kani, was celebrated with traditional fanfare and festivities in Kerala on April 14. This New Year festival is called VISHU in Kerala, but known as Ugadhi, Gudi Padwa, Bihu, Baisakhi etc. in other parts of the nation. Everywhere the underlying spirit of this festival is the same. In FACT also we are having an auspicious beginning after a hiatus. Our production plants, which have been shut down for some time, are being restarted, heralding a new beginning. It should be the harbinger of continuous efforts with total dedication. Let us redouble our efforts to stabilize production followed by aggressive marketing activities in all areas of our presence. Procurement of raw materials to ensure uninterrupted production is another area of key concern, which should be addressed on a war footing. FEDO and FEW are the other two of our entities, which equally require our immediate attention. As I told you in my first communication immediately after taking over as the CMD, these two sister concerns of FACT are having immense potential, which should be tapped to the fullest. FRBL, our joint venture with RCF, has generated much enthusiasm among the builders of South India. There have been media reports of FRBL panels being increasingly welcomed by builders, truly encouraging. The South India, especially Kerala, is reeling under severe heat waves with the Sun blazing down like never before. Acute shortage of water, drying crops, soaring mercury levels... the misery of drought is unfathomable. But this is the time for us to rejuvenate ourselves with adequate inventory so that fertiliser demand with the onset of southwest monsoon by early June in the southern part of the continent can be adequately met. With warm regards, JAIVEER SRIVASTAVA Chairman & Managing Director CMD, Shri Jaiveer Srivastava, being received at Corporate Office with CISF guard of honour FACT NEWS A view of the on-going works of the LNG fired heater of the ammonia plant. FACT at present is the biggest consumer for making use of Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas when it is available from the facility of Petronet LNG at Puthuvypeen. The facility is understood to be ready shortly and the agreements for purchase of RLNG by FACT are being negotiated with the interested parties. The major consuming points of Natural Gas in Udyoganmandal Complex are the Ammonia Plant and the five boilers in Ammonia Complex and Petrochemical Division. Work of conversion of Ammonia Plant to enable it to use NG as fuel and feed is in the final stages of completion. All equipments have reached site and installation of piping, instrumentation and electrics are in the fag end. According to the schedule, Ammonia Plant will be ready to start operation with NG by 15 May 2013. In the event RLNG is not available by that time, the proposal is to start the plant utilising the option to use Naphtha and change over to NG when it becomes available. The Detailed Engineering for conversion of the plant was done by FEDO in consultation with Haldor Topsoe, the original Process Licensor of the plant. The boilers are being converted to enable firing NG retaining the option to use FO as fuel in the event NG is not available or when it is more expensive. The hardware for the work is being supplied and erected by Alsthom India Limited. One of the boilers in PD will be ready by end April and another boiler each in PD and Ammonia Complex will be ready by end May 2013. All the five boilers are scheduled to be ready to fire NG also as fuel by end August 2013. 3 FACT GEARS UP TO RECEIVE NATURAL GAS CMD VISITS VARIOUS DIVISIONS In order to have first hand information about the working of plants and offices, our CMD Shri Jaiveer Srivastava visited the various divisions and departments of FACT.

Quotes • Truth never damages a cause that is just. • Corruption and hypocrisy ought not to be inevitable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today. • In matters of conscience, the law of majority has no place. • Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is selfsustained. -Mahatma Gandhi 9 FACT NEWS ‘Catch Them Young’ Based on the recommendations of Central Vigilance Commission Ministry of Human Resource Development has included value education in the CBSE curriculum a write up on the subject published in the CVC Publication ‘VIGEYE’ 1. The scheme of School based Assessment initiated by the CBSE in 2009 includes coscholastic areas of Life-Skills, Attitude and Values, Sports and Games as well as co-curricular activities. School based Assessment will be strengthened by introducing Value based questions from the prescribed books. In view of the above, a Manual of Operations for Value Education in schools has been prepared by the CBSE. Consequently, a Value Education Kit based on discussions held with various stakeholders has been prepared by the Board. This contains a Handbook on Values for teachers, a CD of peace songs and Activity Cards. The HRD Ministry’s decision to promote value education in schools came after the CVC s recommendation to include lessons on ethics in the school curriculum every year. 2. The Value Education Kit of the CBSE was launched by the Minister of Human Resource Development on 1.11.2012. Shri Pradeep Kumar, Central Vigilance Commissioner, addressing the audience on the occasion, lauded the initiative of launching the Value Education Kit as a welcome step. Speaking about the ill effects of corruption, he said that it was a hurdle in our developmental efforts, distorted our priorities, undermined the Rule of law and encouraged underhand activities. Government funds and benefits do not reach the intended beneficiaries, with the poor being the worst sufferers. When funds meant for building schools or buying books were siphoned off, education was, in fact, being stolen from our children. 3. The battle against Corruption is perpetual and fought on many fronts. CVC highlighted the Commission’s three-pronged approach to fight corruption – punitive, preventive and participative. Punitive action can be taken against a delinquent official either through departmental action, or in cases of fraud and criminal misconduct through prosecution by the CBI. The preventive aspect of vigilance looks at systemic improvement to reduce vulnerabilities to corruption in an organization. It seeks to curtail administrative delay, reduce arbitrary and discretionary decision-making, rationalize cumbersome rules and procedures and reduce unnecessary over-regulation. In participative vigilance, support of society, citizens, civic rights groups and NGOs is sought in the fight against corruption. 4. Noting that even though countries like China having the most stringent laws to fight corruption, nevertheless had very high levels of corruption prevailing in that country. CVC said that a corruption-free society cannot be built on fear and distress alone. Hence, value education at the school level was very important to root out the menace.
