Nksagar-Sagar Media - New Delhi -30 Sept 2010:
Infrastructure Development Finance Company Ltd., or IDFC, has announced a public issue of long term infrastructure bons to raise an amount of up to Rs 3,400 Crore,in one or more tranches,in the fiscal year 2010 -11. On Monday launched the country's first long-term tax-free infrastructure bonds having a face value of Rs.5,000 each .The issue proceeds are proposed to be used for the company's infrastructure lending activities.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Rajiv Lall said these long-term bonds would hit the market on September 30 (Thursday) and could be subscribed up to Monday October 18,or earlier,as may be decided by the Board. The bonds would come in four series carrying a maximum of 8 per cent coupon.
IDFC is also looking to raise '3,000 crore through external commercial borrowings (ECBs) in the current fiscal, Rajiv Lall, managing director and chief executive officer, told reporters in Mumbai on Monday.
These long-term bonds with minimum investment limit has been fixed at '10,000. Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt. Ltd, Enam Securities Pvt. Ltd, Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. Ltd and IDFC Capital Ltd are the lead managers.
These bonds, with the highest rating-LAAA—from Icra, could be bought back or redeemed after the five-year lock-in period or could be traded on the bourses, he said. On the conservative way of fixing the yield, Lall said, "Our yield rate is capped at par with the interest rate on government securities and hence cannot offer a yield rate that is above what the 10-year Gilts offer. Also, our objective is to encourage the average retail investors who are salaried as it is a tax-free bond, to invest in these bonds."
At the BSE, shares of IDFC are now trading at Rs.200.25, down by 2.60% from the previous close.The 10-year bonds, to be listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange, are trade able after a lock-in period of five years. The bonds will be issued in four series--the first two will offer 8%, while the other two will offer 7.5% per annum with a buyback option.

Indigenous development of 1200 KV UHVAC System -First in India
Indigenous development of 1200 KV UHVAC System -First in India
30.09.2010 03:48:54 Nksagar-Sagar Media -New Delhi,30 Sept 2010
Power grid is establishing a 1200 KV National Test station at Nina.It is unique collaborative efforts where leading manufacturers have joined hands with Power grid for indigenously developing the technology for transmitting power at 1200kV.
(live-PR.com) - 35 Electrical Equipment manufacturers in the ultra high voltage segment including 25 IEEMA members have activity collaborated with Power grid for design and development of the required 1200 KV equipment indigenously.
Few examples of such equipment successfully developed are Transformer,Circuit breakers,Isolators,insulators both procelain and polymers,Transmission Line Towers,Line Hardware and conductors etc.IEEMA has been actively coordinating with PGCIL in the implementation of
the indigenous development of electrical equipment required for setting up of 1200 kV Test station at Bina,M.P. PGCIL here is the primary mover.
1200 kV AC system is being envisaged as next transmission voltage to meet the long term power transfer requirement in the country. Ultra High Voltage (UHV) transmission schemes are driven by the need to transfer large amounts of electrical power from the generation resources to major load centres. This need is typical of large geographical regions with a strongly growing electrical power consumption in one part of the region and natural resources that are far away from the major load centres.
India is one of the most notable examples where in future several UHV systems at 1200 kV AC shall be needed to transfer large quantum of power from various generation
complexes in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa to load centres in Northern and Western regions. Starting from next 5-6 years, 1200 kV AC system in due course, is expected to emerge as main transmission level along with 800 kV, 6000MW HVDC integrated with National Grid at 765kV AC, 400kV AC supported by ± 500 kV HVDC NetworkIndian power system is poised to grow at an accelerated pace. Peak demand is expected to increase more than 500GW by 2026 and beyond from present level of about 105 GW for which installed capacity of about 685GW is required. To meet the long-term power transfer requirement by 2025 and beyond as well as optimal utilization of right of way, large capacity transmission corridors are being planned interconnecting the generating resources/pooling stations with load centers.
In this direction, next higher voltage level at 1200kV is being planned. To develop 1200 kV AC Transmission System and associated equipment indigenously, a joint initiative is taken by POWERGRID,CPRI and Equipment Manufacturers to set up a 1200 kV Testing Station and an experimental line at BINA in Madhya Pradesh.
The paper describes the considerations of specifications of the 1200 kV transformers for the Testing Station. These prototype transformers shall pose several challenges to designers and shall pave way for the futuristic commercial transformers for the 1200 kV UHVAC.

Games Village with a South African envoy claiming that a snake was found in one of the rooms in the Games Village.Amid strong criticism by the international delegates who dubbed the Village as "filthy and uninhabitable", PMO on Wednesday night had directed Delhi Government to take control of the complex from the Delhi Development Authority. On asked why the authorities have to make the last minute scramble to complete the works in Games Village, Dikshit blamed it on lack of coordination among various agencies involved in it."The problems in the Village ranged from broken windows to malfunctioning of the lift. We are putting all our efforts to put things in order," she said.
Foreign contingents continued to drop in with nearly 1100 athletes, officials and technical staff from different nations arriving on Sunday for the October 3rd -14th Commonwealth Games.The largest contingent to arrive was a 112-member delegation from Kenya, followed by Nigeria (69), and 60 members from Scotland, a release from the Organising Committee (OC) said.
Canada, Tanzania, Lesotho, Norfolk Island, Rwanda, Wales, England, Isle of Man, Jersey, Bermuda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and British Virgin Islands were among other arrivals.Some 100 more athletes from Norfolk Islands and Canada are expected to arrive later on Sunday night."Work has progressed far enough now and we're ready to start moving in to the Village," said Scott Stevenson, Director of Sport, Commonwealth Games Canada (CGC).
"All the necessary maintenance and cleaning of rooms have been done to accommodate our team and additional support staff," Stevenson said.Stevenson also confirmed that emergency equipment and safety procedures have been verified and tested. "Crews have been successful in reducing the amount of stagnant water around the residential towers. Things are starting to look good," he said.
"The residential towers have been a huge challenge for us, but I'm happy to say that they are finally falling in place."A group of 35 Canadian support staff was due to move in to the village on Sunday while about 40 athletes and coaches from women's gymnastics, shooting, table tennis and men's hockey are scheduled to arrive on Monday.
Stevenson said that Canadian sport science experts, after visiting the competition venues, have given positive reports. "With the accommodation now coming together, we can focus of our energies on the real business at hand, which is to help our athletes achieve best-ever performances."
Canada is sending a team of 400 athletes, coaches and support staff to the Games.
All the 71 participating countries have confirmed their participation. Over 200 Indian athletes and delegates including hockey, weightlifting, boxing and shooting teams have also checked in the village. More players and athletes will be joining them in the next few days.Meanwhile, the cleanliness drive is at its last leg as many athletes and teams had reservations over hygiene. The process of cleanliness is still on and it is expected to be over by tonight.
Chief Minister Sheila Dixit who visited the Games village thrice today, took stock of the situation. She assessed maintenance, security and other facilities for athletes and international delegates. She also met the Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrashekhar during one of the inspections.According to officials, the village can presently accommodate over 7,000 athletes and delegates. Arrangements have also been made for athletes and delegates in some five star hotels.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation says express metro rail from international air port to New Delhi Railway Station is expected to be operational before the start of the games. The spokesman of the corporation Anuj Dayal said that the DMRC will earmark one bogey for ladies in each train from 2nd of next month to encourage women spectators to witness the games.

Happy birth day Dr Man Mohan singh
Nksagar-Sagar Media-New Delhi :
Dr Manmohan Singh born 26 Sept1932 is the fourteenth Prime Minister of Republic of India and is the first PM since Nehru to return to power after completing full term.He is the first Sikh and twelfth Prime Minister of Indian National Congress.
His academic career took him from Punjab to the University of Cambridge, UK, where he earned a First Class Honours degree in Economics in 1957. Dr. Singh followed this with a D. Phil in Economics from Nuffield College at Oxford University in 1962. His book, “India's Export Trends and Prospects for Self-Sustained Growth” was an early critique of India's inward-oriented trade policy.
Dr Singh was widely credited for carrying out liberalizing reforms in India in 1991 which resulted in the weakening of Licence Raj system. Dr. Singh joined the Government of India as Economic Advisor in the Commerce Ministry. This was soon followed by his appointment as Chief Economic Advisor in the Ministry of Finance in 1972. Among the many Governmental positions that Dr. Singh has occupied are Secretary in the Ministry of Finance; Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission; Governor of the Reserve Bank of India; Advisor of the Prime Minister; and Chairman of the University Grants Commission.
In what was to become the turning point in the economic history of independent India, Dr. Singh spent five years between 1991 and 1996 as India’s Finance Minister. His role in ushering in a comprehensive policy of economic reforms is now recognized worldwide. In the popular view of those years in India, that period is inextricably associated with the persona of Dr. Singh.
Dr. Singh has been a Member of India’s Upper House of Parliament (the Rajya Sabha) since 1991, where he was Leader of the Opposition between 1998 and 2004. Dr. Manmohan Singh was sworn in as Prime Minister on 22nd May after the 2004 general elections and took the oath of office for a second term on 22nd May 2009.

Fennell:Damage has been done to India.
Surecsh Kalmadi said developer needs to hand over the venues to the organizing committee and said the venues ought to be handed to me in advance and said the venues ought to be handed to me in advance for further action. Fennel said considerable done when we visited last, we are monitoring the situation firmly.He is to visit Games villages again today added there is huge improvement in two days and there are concern about Fire safety there is extensive jobs needs to be done, security and transport is huge concern Fennel to receive the reports today in the fire safety aspects. Fennel said there is need of momentum going and is touch with other delegates yet to arrive. Damage has been done to India.To question for plethora of time why is the mess . Fennell said we are following the games development.we have coordinated in four years visits within six months and our visits gave instructed for the work needed to be done and clean up needed to be done is in all our reports.Remedial measure by government is being undertaken
Fennell said the cleaning up surrounds the village,security,transport,tech services more equipments,medical services generally speaking matters relating to village for those participating needs to be geared up.
Media work done properly pleased to receive the news and green signals to the participants they are asked to travel to India. No one is pulling out of the Games Fennel said. "We are contemplating that athletes enjoy stay".There has been delivery of cards and supply of building needs cleaning mortar down needs to be removed.Testing for fire alarm system and necessary system are working.We are insisting to get reports for safety and security.chef have done extremely hard and all committed to games and this show positive mind exhibit their solidarity for the Commonwealth games and the teams are well looked after.
Government agency have done jobs nicely.safely and security of the athletes is necessary so the building safety, alarm and other fire and safety ought to be in n order so are We monitoring the system carefully.
Organizing chief Suresh Kalamadi addressing the media said the mess is by the developer his favorite lines, Games will be fantastic and better than Melbourne speak to me after the games.He said security issues have been addressed. Our job is to view the development the stakeholder needs to carry on and take the responsibility for the completion of the infrastructure.
Further in a boost to the controversy-marred event, the Australian and New Zealand Commonwealth Games bosses on Friday confirmed participation of their teams in the Delhi Games, giving a thumbs up to the much-criticized Athletes' Village.
After a visit on Friday morning to the Village which had come under attack from various quarters over sanitary conditions, Australian Commonwealth Games Association chief Perry Cross white said his country was happy with the Village and that their athletes are looking forward to the Games beginning 3rd October.
"We are quite happy with the Village and we are looking forward to the Games. The Australian contingent is coming," he said.
The Australian contingent is coming," he said.Addressing a press conference a day after visiting the Games Village,
"Absolutely, it's thumbs up to the Games," he said, when asked about his assessment of the Games.Crosswhite was one of the strongest critics till recently about the preparations for the mega event.After days of indecision, New Zealand Olympic Committee also on Friday confirmed participation in the Delhi Commonwealth Games after seeing positive steps being taken by the organisers to improve the situation.
New Zealand Olympic Committee board gave its nod for the planned departures from 28th September after being briefed by NZOC President Mike Stanley and Secretary General Barry Maister, who were in Delhi to take stock of the situation.Staneley said the situation was grim but it has started changing following intervention by the state and the central governments.
"We remain hopeful that things can be turned around. What we found was inexcusable and unacceptable but we've seen a change in leadership and this is positive," Stanley said at a press conference in Auckland.
Fennell said "considerable work has been done but still some more remains to be done." With mess and mess up. despite the controversy-marred build-up, Fennell asserted that calling off the Games "was never" on Commonwealth Games Federation's (CGF) agenda.
Blaming the organizer for the delay in propping up the games facilities in times, Fennell conceded that a lot of damage has been done to India's image.Flanked by embattled Organizing Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi, Fennell said both India and the Commonwealth can learn a lesson from the shortcomings in organizing the 19th edition of the Games scheduled 3rd to 14th October."The massive work that is being done now ought to have been done earlier," said Fennell.
"We all have to share the blame and responsibility. In any Games, there are a number of stakeholders, overall we have to ensure that we do everything to conduct the Games." "Other Games have had problems and I believe that here also the problems would be sorted. A number of issues should have been and could have been avoided and that necessary corrective steps should be taken in good time," he added."We are going to have good Games," he insisted.
"A lot of damage has been done to India, which is the largest Commonwealth country. We need to learn lessons for hosting other events as well. This is part of the learning process. I hope India would have learnt a lesson, we would have learnt a lesson," he said.
Asked whether he felt let down by India, which won the hosting rights way back in 2003 but is in a desperate race against time to finish off the work, Fennell said, "We are disappointed in a number of things." But the CGF boss said the time for blame-game was over and the focus should now be on conducting a safe and successful Games whatever be the scale of effort required."If we are committed to the same goal, we should not find faults and criticise each other because we all want that the Games are celebrated properly," he said.
Kalmadi said he wished the venues had been handed to OC a little earlier.
"I am the chairman of Organising Committee and I will take all the responsibility but I wish venues were handed to us a little earlier," he said.
Fennell, accompanied by Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi, Secretary General Randhir Singh CGF CEO Mike Hooper, took stock of the arrangements at the athletes Village, which was dubbed "filthy and uninhabitable" by visiting international delegates a couple of days ago.
His statement came even as the first batch of 61 English athletes landed in the capital but headed to hotels instead of the Village as their living area is still not ready.English men's hockey team and the lawn bowling squad are among the 61 strong group of athletes.
England have committed participation in the Commonwealth Games and will be sending 551 athletes.The CGF boss, who was unimpressed with the pace of the work and even shot off a letter to the Cabinet Secretary a few days ago, also briefed the delegates about the work.

England have committed participation in the Commonwealth Games and will be sending 551 athletes.The CGF boss, who was unimpressed with the pace of the work and even shot off a letter to the Cabinet Secretary a few days ago, also briefed the delegates about the work.

The TARAgram Yatra 2010
New Delhi, 17 September 2010: TARAgram Yatra 2010, organised by Development Alternatives (DA), a not-for-profit organisation and its partners from September 17-21 was inaugurated today at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, Teen Murti House, New Delhi.
From 18-20 September, the dialogue moves to Bundelkhand at the DA Group Sustainability Resource Centre at TARAgram Orchha where a mix of dialogue and field visits, will bring together top-level practitioners and policy makers from across the world on a common platform for exchanging ideas on how to realise a sustainable future. An annual event, the Yatra deliberates upon relevant issues of sustainability and will provide leads for follow-up on policies and action at the local, national and global levels.
Dr Kirit S. Parekh, Chairman, Expert Group (LCSIG), Planning Commission of India and a special speaker at the inaugural session highlighted the Low Carbon Strategies for Inclusive Growth in the regional and global context.
Honorable Minister of Environment and Forests (MoEF) Shri Jairam Ramesh in his message said “It gives me immense pleasure to congratulate the organizers and participants of TARAgram YATRA 2010 for initiating an annual event and establishing a think tank for undertaking deliberation on highly pertinent issue. As a new green economy order emerging it is essential that the rural areas are integrated within this system for achieving impacts at a large scale. Environment ministry has been keenly associated with issues related to climate change and the environment. MoEF is currently developing the second National Communication to the UN framework convention on climate change. I specially want to congratulate Development Alternative and its partners (International Institute for environment and development, Ring Alliance and Green Economy Coalition, UN environment programme - GRID) and the Yatris for having set out on the first TARAgram YATRA”
Sir Richard Stagg, High Commissioner for Great Britain said “India has many advantages and opportunities to make a choice and unlike China, economic success is based on resources available. It is incorrect to believe that economic growth and environment conventions are contradictory as both are possible and we can collectively address it, but we have to be careful about challenges of climate change. Not everyone will be able to enjoy the benefits of economic growth as the rural poor are three times more dependent on eco system than their urban counterparts. UK has its carbon footprints and we appreciate the efforts of India to deal with this challenge as well. The YATRA is an opportunity to take forward range of questions that we have to address in the same regard. Time is not on our side but we have to take care of sustainable and inclusive growth”
Giving the overview presentation on Green Jobs to End Poverty and Regenerate the Resource Base, Dr Ashok Khosla, Chairman Development Alternatives, said that the time has come for the Third World to pursue a path of development that employs the highest possible resource productivity in sectors such as agriculture, industry and habitat, particularly in job creation. He also added that production, mobility and agricultural systems need to be reworked to make our world more sustainable.
Prominent speakers included Shri Deepak Gupta, Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, High Commissioner of Great Britain and Prof. Amitabh Kundu, Jawahar Lal Nehru University.
With its primary focus on Green Investment and Policy Imperatives, the TARAgram Yatra 2010 promises to be a milestone in a series of global multi-stakeholder consultation process leading up to Rio 2020. The Yatra aims to build consensus amongst key stakeholders on priorities in the transition to sustainability. It will communicate strategies and solutions that address sustainability challenges for green economies to policy audiences on a global platform.
The other partners of Development Alternatives are the Green Economy Coalition (GEC), the Ring Alliance of Policy Research Organisations, the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and Ministries of Environment and Forests, New and Renewable Energy, External Affairs and the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
Those present included members of national, state and local governments, businesses and financial institutions, academic and research organisations, civil society and international agencies.

A Declaration of key messages emerging from the event on critical green economy issues and practical solutions on green jobs, green investments, and adaptation for livelihood security relevant to practitioners and policy makers will be presented at the conclusion of the five-day conference.

DLF Master:Gaganjeet Bhullar, Ashok Kumar in the joint lead
Nksagar-Sagar Media Gurgaon, Sept 17, 2010:
Gaganjeet Bhullar and Ashok Kumar share the lead at nine under 135 after round two of the DLF Masters 2010. While Bhullar fired a solid 67 on Friday, Ashok produced the best round of the day, a brilliant seven under 65. Himmat Singh Rai is two strokes behind the leaders in third place and Jyoti Randhawa is fourth at six under 138.The cut was declared at five over 149. Fifty-three professionals made the cut.
Ashok Kumar (70-65) carded his best score of the year to climb from overnight tied ninth to joint first place on Friday. The professional from the Delhi Golf Club made an amazing nine birdies in the second round thanks to his fantastic hitting. He also had two bogeys.
Ashok said, “My iron-play was excellent today. I hit it within eight feet
on most holes and thus earned as many as nine birdies. I also made a 25 feet putt for birdie on the 11th. This is a great round for me considering the fact that I have been out of action due to a wrist injury for the last four months. Today’s round has given me a lot of confidence as far as my hitting is concerned.”
Defending champion Gaganjeet Bhullar (68-67) turned in a card of 67 to share the lead along with Ashok. Bhullar sank an eagle on the ninth besides making five birdies and two bogeys. The Kapurthala golfer continued his good hitting form as he made 16 greens in regulation for the second successive day.
“I fell just short of my goal of six under for the day. My putting was inconsistent but hitting was immaculate. I hit it close through the round and made eagle on the ninth courtesy of a five-iron second shot from 215 yards that landed within five feet of the pin. I also converted a 20-footer for birdie on the seventh,” said Bhullar.
Himmat Singh Rai (68-69) of the DLF Golf & Country Club is placed third at seven under 137. His round of 69 on Friday included an eagle on the par-four 15th where he holed his second shot from 75 yards.
Jyoti Randhawa (67-71) made 11 pars before dropping a bogey on the 12th. He followed that up with birdies on the 15th and 18th to sign off with a one under 71.
Randhawa said, “I’m very satisfied with my round today even though I made just two birdies. I did a good job in sticking to my routine. I missed only one putt for par. I was not very accurate off the tee and as a result I did not hit enough fairways. However, I got some momentum going after my first birdie of the day on the 15th.”
Mukesh Kumar, Anirban Lahiri, Gaurav Pratap Singh and Vinod Kumar lie tied fifth at five under 139.

Jyoti Randhawa, the two-time DLF Masters champion, on to a flying start at his home turf on Thursday as he made six birdies against a lone bogey in his opening round of 67. Randhawa, a 10th tee starter, made birdies on the 12th, 16th, 17th and a bogey on the 13th to be two under at the turn.
Randhawa, fresh from a recent top-10 finish on the European Tour, consolidated further on the second nine with birdies on the first, fourth and sixth.“This is a very good start to the tournament. I have been playing in Europe for the last few weeks so in that context I feel I adapted to the conditions pretty quickly. I hit my
iron shots really close today and also putted well. The rain came down for a brief period during the middle of my round but it didn’t affect me. In fact, I made birdies immediately before and after the rain,” said Randhawa.
He added, “The highlights of my round were a good par save on the 10th where I hit my nine-iron third shot to within a few inches of the pin and the birdie on the par-five sixth where I was two-on and then two-putted for birdie.”
Defending champion Gaganjeet Bhullar shot a bogey-free 68 to be tied second. He birdied the second, ninth, 15th and 18th holes.
Bhullar said, “I hit it long today. My best drive was on the 15th where I hit it about 350 yards. It’s a good start to the tournament and gives me a great launch-pad for the rest of the week.”
Himmat Singh Rai and Karanjit Singh Sandhu, both from the DLF Golf & Country Club, joined Bhullar in tied second place as they too shot scores of 68 thanks to some brilliant hitting.
Himmat made 17 regulations in a round that included five birdies and a bogey. Karanjit also had five birdies and a bogey and made 16 regulations.
SSP Chowrasia, Rahil Gangjee, Vinod Kumar and Digvijay Singh lie tied fifth at three under 69.Anirban Lahiri, Mukesh Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Chiragh Kumar, Gaurav Pratap Singh and Shankar Das share ninth position at two under 70.

2010-09-13 04:40:04 - Nksagar-Sagar Media -New Delhi - Moscow - Sept 13 2010:
Sushil Kumar made history by becoming the first Indian to win a World wrestling championship gold medal when he overpowered home favourite Alan Gogaev to win the 66kg freestyle title in Moscow on Sunday.
Sushil overpowered home favourite Alan Gogaev to win the 66kg freestyle title in Moscow on Sunday.The exciting 3-1 victory in the title-bout also made Sushil the first Indian grappler to bag Olympic and World championship medals. The 27-year-old already holds the Asian and Commonwealth titles.
In the rounds Sushil convincingly defeated Anastasios Akritidis of Greece (6-0), Martin Sebastian Daum of Germany
(4-1) and Batzorig Buyanjar of Mongolia (9-1) before rallying to beat reigning European champion Jabrayil Hasanov of Azerbaijan (4-3). Sushil historic triumph came after in the final, Sushil got the better of Gogaev in two straight rounds, winning 2-1 and 1-0 and sealing a historic triumph.The Delhi wrestler had won the bronze in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, becoming the second Indian wrestler, the first being K.D. Jadhav, to achieve the distinction.
Last year in Denmark, Ramesh Kumar had broken India's long medal drought in the World championship by returning a bronze in the 74-kg category.The other World championship medalists from India were Uday Chand (bronze in 1961), Bishambhar Singh (silver in 1967) and Alka Tomar (bronze in 2006).
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President G.S. Mander was quick to hail Sushil's feat.“Sushil had proved his mettle at every level and now he has done it at the World level. It is a big thing to be the World, Asian and Commonwealth champion at the same time,” Mander said.
Sushil had won the Commonwealth championship in Jalandhar in December last and the Asian title here in May.
“In the midst of so much negative publicity doing the rounds (due to drug abuse in Indian sport), this is a welcome change,” Mander added.The WFI Secretary and former Asian Games gold medallist Kartar Singh, too, expressed his joy after Sushil won the gold.“I am very happy with his achievement. The country expected him to win the gold and he did it,” said Kartar.“When I spoke to him, he said that it was due to God's grace. He said the competition was very tough, especially the semifinal against the European champion was a difficult bout.“ I had advised Sushil to give his best even against the fancied Russian wrestler (in the final) as such chances come very rarely in life, so he should grab it with both hands,” Kartar said.
Kartar hoped that the Commonwealth Games gold at home should not be a difficult thing to achieve for Sushil.The WFI declared that a befitting welcome and suitable reward await the star wrestler on his return from Moscow.
The 1982 Asian Games gold medallist, Satpal, also showered praise on Sushil. “He had prepared well, otherwise it is not easy to win five straight bouts in day.“Undoubtedly, he is the best wrestler India has ever produced. His humility and sincerity has made him what he is,” said Satpal.

However, the Government has assured us of building all the shelters by October 31 and we hope that this deadline is honored," she added.
Rahul and Nisha informed that they also spoke to Mr. T. Angchuk, Deputy Commissioner, Ladakh district, who assured them that building shelter before winter sets in was a priority for the government as well.

They also added that Mr. Angchuk said he would reveal the rehabilitation plan in the near future.
Talking about Oxfam India’s work in the region Nisha said "We Will have to find ways of providing food security and livelihood support such as repair of irrigation canals, replanting of fruit trees, replacement of grain harvesting machines and those assets that were destroyed by the floods."
"In addition, we want to help prepare people of Leh for disasters in the future. We will see what the emerging needs of the people are and respond to them, if required," she added.

Polish PM Visit to boost Indo-Polish trade
Nksagar-Sagar Media - New Delhi - Tusk held delegation level talks with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh and called on President Pratibha Patil.Tusk is a first non - communist Polish Prime Minister to visit India on an official trip.After his meeting with Singh, the two sides inked a pact to enhance cultural exchanges between India and Poland.Prime Minister Donald Tusk met with the most important Indian politicians, President Pratibha Patil, Deputy President, Chairman of the Upper House of Parliament Mohammad Hamid Ansari, Chairperson of the Indian National Congress Sonia Gandhi and head of the opposition Sushma Swaraj.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk met and took part in the working lunch with representatives of the leading Indian companies. In the morning, after the ceremonious welcome by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the head of Polish government laid a wreath of flowers in the Mahatma Gandhi Mausoleum.
The conclusion of India -EU free trade agreement is believed to have figured in
the talks. India and EU have been actively engaged on concluding this agreement for quite some time now. Poland is all set to take over the presidency of EU next year.According to External Affairs Ministry sources discussions in defence cooperation include joint ventures and transfer of technology.
Attending Polish Indian Investment Forum, Tusk added, "As India's tech hub, Bangalore is renowned the world over for its domain expertise in software, science and aerospace. Poland has been the preferred choice of Indian IT majors TCS, Infosys and Wipro to locate their outsourcing operations." Recalling the historical and cultural ties between the two countries, Tusk said the freedom struggle in India through the non-violent movement of its Mahatma Gandhi had inspired the Solidarity movement in Poland during the 1980s to rid the country of decades of communist rule.Polish leader, who is accompanied by his wife and senior government officials, addressed industry leaders in New Delhi at a luncheon meeting jointly organised by the industry chambers which was aimed at encouraging Indian investment in Poland. Negotiations are on between the companies from India and Poland for joint ventures in defence field.
Questions related to the development of economic cooperation were the leading subject of the talks. Donald Tusk told Polish journalists that Poland wanted to have the best possible relations with India. “We all know what a might and potential India represents. I must say that I find the readiness for underscoring good relations with Poland wherever I go,” he said. Donald Tusk declared that our country was especially interested in Indian investments in new technologies. “We shall encourage Indians to enter Poland more actively,” he assured. “We are a seriously treated economic partner,” added Donald Tusk.
Prime Minister Tusk remarked that a number of business undertakings of interest to Polish entrepreneurs require political support on the spot. “That is why the talks with Indian politicians are of capital importance in order to open the Indian gates for polish businessmen. In the first half of 2010, Polish-Indian trade turnover rose 13 percent as compared with the corresponding period of 2009. At the end of 2008, the value of Indian investments amounted to EUR 28 million and constituted 0.04 percent of direct foreign investments in Poland.
The prime minister stressed that Poland, which in the latter half of 2011 will preside over the European Union, has a real chance to gain the status of India’s extraordinary partner among the EU member states. “Indian politicians are well aware of the good position Poland has acquired in Europe in recent years, especially on the background of the world crisis,” he added. The EU-India summit is planned during the Polish presidency.
The head of Polish government discussed with Indian politicians the situation in Afghanistan and problems of multilateral relations. Premier Tusk added that Poland supported India’s endeavours to obtain UN Security Council membership.
Polish PM met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Later, the delegations of the two countries will have plenary talks. The “Programme of cooperation between the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland and the Indian Ministry of Culture for the years 2010-2013” will be signed in the presence of both prime ministers. The programme envisages cooperation in dissemination of information on cultural heritage of the two countries, exchange of experience and implementation of joint projects in monument conservation and protection.

Attending Polish Indian Investment Forum, Tusk added, "As India's tech hub, Bangalore is renowned the world over for its domain expertise in software, science and aerospace. Poland has been the preferred choice of Indian IT majors TCS, Infosys and Wipro to locate their outsourcing operations." Recalling the historical and cultural ties between the two countries, Tusk said the freedom struggle in India through the non-violent movement of its Mahatma Gandhi had inspired the Solidarity movement in Poland during the 1980s to rid the country of decades of communist rule.Polish leader, who is accompanied by his wife and senior government officials, addressed industry leaders in New Delhi at a luncheon meeting jointly organised by the industry chambers which was aimed at encouraging Indian investment in Poland. Negotiations are on between the companies from India and Poland for joint ventures in defence field.
Questions related to the development of economic cooperation were the leading subject of the talks. Donald Tusk told Polish journalists that Poland wanted to have the best possible relations with India. “We all know what a might and potential India represents. I must say that I find the readiness for underscoring good relations with Poland wherever I go,” he said. Donald Tusk declared that our country was especially interested in Indian investments in new technologies. “We shall encourage Indians to enter Poland more actively,” he assured. “We are a seriously treated economic partner,” added Donald Tusk.
Prime Minister Tusk remarked that a number of business undertakings of interest to Polish entrepreneurs require political support on the spot. “That is why the talks with Indian politicians are of capital importance in order to open the Indian gates for polish businessmen. In the first half of 2010, Polish-Indian trade turnover rose 13 percent as compared with the corresponding period of 2009. At the end of 2008, the value of Indian investments amounted to EUR 28 million and constituted 0.04 percent of direct foreign investments in Poland.
The prime minister stressed that Poland, which in the latter half of 2011 will preside over the European Union, has a real chance to gain the status of India’s extraordinary partner among the EU member states. “Indian politicians are well aware of the good position Poland has acquired in Europe in recent years, especially on the background of the world crisis,” he added. The EU-India summit is planned during the Polish presidency.
The head of Polish government discussed with Indian politicians the situation in Afghanistan and problems of multilateral relations. Premier Tusk added that Poland supported India’s endeavours to obtain UN Security Council membership.
Polish PM met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Later, the delegations of the two countries will have plenary talks. The “Programme of cooperation between the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland and the Indian Ministry of Culture for the years 2010-2013” will be signed in the presence of both prime ministers.
