Silence is a great help to a seeker after truth. In the attitude of silence, the soul finds the path in a clearer light and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth, and the soul requires inward restfulness to attain its full height - Mahatma Gandhi President, PM greet nation on Independence Day Greeting the nation on August 14 on the eve of India’s 67th Independence Day, the President of India, H.E. Mr. Pranab Mukherjee paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi and all others who had fought for India‘s freedom. Noting that the Constitution provides a delicate balance of power between various institutions of the state, he advised that this balance should be maintained. "We need a Parliament that debates, discusses and decides. We need a judiciary that gives justice without delays. We need leadership that is committed to the nation and those values that made us a great civilization. We need a state that inspires confidence among people in its ability to surmount challenges before us. We need a media and citizens who, even as they claim their rights, are equally committed to their responsibilities," he said. He also mentioned the role of democracy in realizing India’s dream. He stated that there is a direct relationship between a successful democracy and a successful economy and it serves their interests best when they participate in decision-making at the level of panchayat (village council) and other forms of local government. He called for rapid empowerment of the local bodies with functions, functionaries and finances to improve their performance. On economic growth he cautioned that faster growth does not guarantee better outcomes. He said that to achieve inclusive growth we must create inclusive governance. "We have to pay heed to his advice as we work towards building a modern democracy. The ideals of patriotism, compassion, tolerance, self-restraint, honesty, discipline and respect for women have to be converted into a living force," he mentioned. Concluding his speech with a reference to Bhagvad Gita where the teacher propounds his views, he quoted a verse, "even as you choose, so you do. I do not wish to impose my views on the people. I have presented to you what I think is right. Now it is for your conscience, for your judgment, for your mind to decide what is right." Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in his address spoke on the inclusive and inspiring growth in the country and mentioned the efforts taken by the government to shape up a new India. "[My] government since its formation in 2004 has worked hard to help India progress in an inclusive manner," he stated. He stressed the role of various schemes including Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and Right To Information Act that have been adopted by the government during its tenure in taking India forward. He also mentioned recently issued India News, August, 2013|4 ordinance aimed at making a Food Security law. “This law will benefit 75 percent of our rural population and half of our urban population. Under the law, about 810 million Indians would be entitled to receive rice at 3 Rupees per kg, wheat at 2 Rupees per kg and coarse grains at 1 Rupee per kg. This is the largest effort of its kind in the whole world”, he said. He concluded his speech by saying that India will be prosperous and all its citizens will be equal partners in this prosperity, irrespective of their religion, caste, region or language. Indian-built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant launched India launched its first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, joining the elite club of nations with the capability of designing and building a warship of this size and capability. Defence Minister Mr. A.K. Antony said this was an "important" first step towards a long journey in the area of warship building for the country. Only a few advanced countries have capability to design and build such aircraft carriers," he said in his speech on the occasion. The ship, which will have a length of 260m and a breadth of 60m, has been designed and manufactured locally, using high grade steel made by a stateowned steel company. Vice-Admiral RK Dhowan of India's navy has described the launch as the "crowning glory" of the navy's programme to produce vessels on home soil. Fighter aircraft - Mig29K, Light Combat Aircraft and Kamov-31 helicopters - will deployed on board the carrier which will also carry an array of other weapons systems. Scriptures cannot transcend reason and truth. They are intended to purify reason and illuminate truth. - Mahatma Gandhi India launches world’s largest programme to provide subsidized food The government launched the USD 20,000 million welfare scheme to give cheap food to nearly 70 per cent of the population. Under the scheme, a beneficiary will be entitled to 5 kg of rice, wheat or coarse cereals at nominal price. Also, the monthly supply ranges from three to seven kilograms per person, depending on their level of income. Earlier, Parliament had passed the ambitious National Food Security Bill, 2013 that seeks to provide highly subsidised food grains under the Targeted Public Distribution System. The beneficiaries will be identified by the States based on parameters prescribed by the Union government. In a speech in Parliament, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of Ruling Coalition Alliance described the measure as a “big message” about India’s capability to take responsibility for the food security of all its citizens. She said the Bill was a fulfilment of her party’s promise to “wipe out hunger and malnutrition.” Raghuram G.

Industry Focus: Indian Aviation Industry Aviation as an infrastructure segment has played vital role in facilitating the growth of business and economy in India. A robust civil aviation set-up is key to seamless flow of investment, trade and tourism, with significant multiplier effects through the economy. Aviation sector does not only provide air transport for passengers and goods, but also is a strategic element for employment generation. About one-third of world trade (by value) is delivered by air and about half of international tourism is facilitated by air links. Civil aviation industry is an important engine for innovation and technological progress in a world of decreasing barriers to trade. Market Size Total domestic passengers carried by the scheduled domestic airlines between January and April 2013 were USD 20.2 million, revealed the official statistics. No-frill carrier IndiGo lead in terms of market share with 29.8 per cent of the pie, followed by Jet Airways-Jet Lite combine at 22.6 per cent, Spice Jet 19.6 per cent, Air India Domestic 19.2 and Go Air at 8.9 per cent for the January-April 2013 period. The air transport (including air freight) in India has attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth USD 449.26 million from April 2000 to march 2013, as per the data released by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP). Key Developments and Investments Jet Airways, India's second largest airline by market share, is in talks with Abu Dhabibased Etihad Airways for a strategic alliance. In the light of the discussions, the two have been involved in various collaborative agreements. Jet has recently leased a wide body aircraft along with 60 of its cabin crew to Etihad. According to the ‘aviation’ jargon, a wet lease of an aircraft is an arrangement whereby the lessor (Jet in this case), provides crew, maintenance and aircraft for a consideration. In turn the lessor takes on the responsibility for supplying and operating the aircraft. Jet Airways, that carried the largest number of international passengers from India in 2012, would also be offering visa procurement services to its passengers who have travel plans for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and are flying the carrier. It has partnered with Dubai-based travel service firm Dnata wherein the travellers from India to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah would have the option to individually secure their visa prior to India News, August, 2013|6 departure. Passengers would be guided through the visa process by Dnata's travel specialists, who will collect all the necessary documents and submit the visa application to the UAE Government on the passengers’ behalf. In a bid to offer a more convenient transit to international passengers, the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad is set to commence ‘visa on arrival’ facility, after it gets a nod from the Centre. Visitors from 11 countries will be eligible to get a visa on arrival with effect from May 31, 2013. The ‘tourist visa-on-arrival’, with a maximum validity of 30 days and single entry facility, shall be granted by the immigration officers at the airport to the citizens of 11 countries-- Finland, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar and Indonesia. Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), managed by Mumbai International Airport Pvt. Ltd. (MIAL) has been honoured with ISO 14064-1:2006 certification for its Carbon Emissions Accounting by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in carbon certification worldwide, for the second year in a row. In 2012, CSIA had become the first ever airport in India and the second in Asia, to be acknowledged for its consistent efforts in reducing its carbon footprint. With the certification in 2013, CSIA is now in the process of upgrading its ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation Rating from Mapping (Level 1) to Reduction (Level 2). CSIA has introduced a variety of measures to reduce carbon emissions from its operations. CSIA was the first airport in India, to initiate the mapping process voluntarily and submit emission levels to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), in 2012. Government Initiatives The Indian Government is dedicated to the development of the Indian aviation industry and has introduced several policies and regulatory reforms to boost private participation and investments in the same. Recently, the Government allowed 49 per cent FDI by foreign airlines in the sector. Some of the deals like Tata-Air Asia and Jet Airways – Etihad have already been announced and are likely to boost civil aviation in a big way. Moreover, in order to fuel growth in maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) business and to make it competitive, the Government has made several concessions in the Union Budget for 2013-14 including extension of time period allowed for utilisation of aircraft parts and equipments from three months to one year, exemption of custom duty on parts, equipment, accessories, spares required for MRO purposes to private category aircrafts also and inclusion of foreign airlines for the purpose of duty-free imports of parts, etc as applicable for scheduled air transport services. The industry has widely welcomed these concessions. The Indian government has also proposed investment of USD12.1 billion in the airport infrastructure during the 12th (Five Year) Plan period, of which US$D.3 billion is anticipated to come from the private sector. The scope of development would include construction of new airports, expansion, modernisation of existing airports and development of low cost airports to keep the tariff at its minimal at smaller airports, improvement in connecting infrastructure, and development of world class Air Navigation Services infrastructure. The Government has also made significant initiative to spur development of the aviation industry by privatising five major airports under public-private partnership (PPP) model and endorsing emergence of Greenfield airports which envisages synergy between the public and private sector. Road Ahead Private participation in expanding air transport network and related infrastructure has propelled growth of air traffic in a big way in India. Industry analysts estimate that India would be the third largest aviation market by 2020, whereby it would be well-equipped to handle 336 million domestic and 85 million international passengers. Mr. Ajit Singh, the Minister for Civil Aviation, has further revealed that in order to enhance air connectivity, airlines are expected to add around 370 aircrafts, worth USD 27.5 billion, to their fleet by the year 2017. Moreover, it is estimated that commercial fleet size would reach 1,000 by 2020 from 400 today, and 1,000 General aviation aircraft by 2020 including fleet renewal. Estimated investment requirement for the India News, August, 2013|7 General aviation aircraft alone is to the tune of USD 4 billion.

"...we believe there is tremendous potential… The underlying strengths of India remain. It is the largest producer of milk in the world; it is one of the top three producers of wheat in the world and has the largest growing middle class." – Mr Paul D Conway, Vice-Chairman, Cargill Villagers use smart card to get free mineral water Womenfolk in Gujarat’s drought-prone Palodia village, 20 km from Ahmadabad, no more have to foot it to the far-away well in this hamlet to fetch drinking water. Thanks to a charitable trust, the villagers have an easy access to the most precious gift of nature. All they have to do is to reach the reverse osmosis (RO) water dispenser installed by the trust in the heart of Palodia and swipe the electronic card given to all homes. The 20-litre bottle brought by them is filled in a jiffy and the service is free of cost. The facility makes use of an electronic swapping system which reads the unique identification card given to each family. The Electronic ID and RO system combine to provide each family 20 litres of water every day. The Haridwar Mitra Mandal Charitable Trust, which has entered into a joint venture with the Palodia village council for introducing the wonder dispenser, has donated two RO plants which can purify 12,000 litres of water a day. Social worker Chandrika Bhavsar told Khaleej Times that the project would be helpful in maintaining hygienic environment and better health of all the 300-odd families in the village. There are eternal principles which admit of no compromise and one must be prepared to lay down one’s life in the practice of them. - Mahatma Gandhi Trade Enquiries from India Company Commercial interest H & H EXPORTS 901, 9th Floor, Shapath-1, Opp. Rajpath Club, S.G.
