” The news that India moved 12 notches upward to 130 position in World Bank’s ‘Ease of Doing Business’ index, should warm heart of everyone who is interested in improving business environment. Though much of the improvement came because of data correction done by World Bank because of which India moved automatically from 142 to 134 position. The initiatives taken during last year improved it further and pushed it from 134 to 130 position. Improvements came about due to amendments in Company Act, Udyog Adhaar and getting power connections easier. That this survey is based on business environment in Delhi and Mumbai alone may not count much for MSMEs who are scattered all over India. Road blocks to growth still exists wherein it takes almost 50 days to register property and 200 days to get construction permit. It is reported in media that a committee has been set up to suggest tax reforms. However, the news that draft Bankruptcy law would be released in 10 days does not warm the heart of MSMEs. Almost 97% of MSMEs being partnerships and proprietorships and even when in Company format due to the personal guarantees, the proposed Bankruptcy law excludes them. Till a comprehensive Insolvency legislation is developed in India for Insolvency of natural persons- entrepreneurs, farmers, consumers etc, the solution suggested by FISME to amend MSMED Act could be reconsidered. PMs target to reach top 50 in 2016 by leap frogging Russia ( 51), South Africa (73), China (84) and Brazil (116), through GST and other changes in business environment reality for MSMEs on the ground is still farfetched. ”

Do you ever wonder why a billionaire like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wears the same getup every day; hoodie, grey t-shirt, jeans and sneakers? It’s for the same reason that another billionaire visionary, the late Steve Jobs, always wore a black turtleneck and jeans to work every day. They don’t want to waste time deciding on matters that won’t translate to productivity. In business, you have to prioritize your day according to which item results in greater return for your invested time. This is otherwise referred to as PROTI: Potential Return on Time Invested.

Utilities’ transformers are failing too frequently these days due to their dubious quality, opening an opportunity for non-empanelled workshops to get into the business of transformer repair. The lure for such workshops is costly copper wire inside transformers which they can steal during repair. By dangling the bait of discounted charges, workshops are able to get locals to hand over burnt transformers for repair to them. This malpractice came to the fore recently when during a raid by utility officials; three workshops in the Shamli district of West UP were found in possession of at least a dozen burnt transformers which were brought to them by locals for repair.

This model, Indian officials said, is based on the suggestions from and requirements of African nations.

While raising investment is important for scaling any startup, it is equally important and imperative to understand the basics before you go out to raise your first round of funds.

Helping them in this endeavour are some retail and food startups, which themselves are experimenting with the concept. Half-year-old Bengaluru-based startup Ubyld ships close to 100 DIY furniture kits every day.

Whilst there, I enrolled in a programme EndPoverty, a non-profit. Though I joined them as a volunteer, the idea stuck, since poverty alleviation is close to my heart,” said Satija.

साथियों,
केंद्र सरकार ने भले ही भूमि अधिग्रहण अध्यादेश वापस ले लिया हो लेकिन हम सभी इस बात से भली भांति परिचित हैं कि उत्तर प्रदेश के विभिन्न जिलों में जबरन भूमि अधिग्रहण का काम लंबे समय से चल रहा है। सोनभद्र जिले में बन रहे कनहर बांध के लिए हुआ भूमि अधिग्रहण हो या इलाहाबाद जिले में जे.पी.पावर प्लांट के लिए हो रहा भूमि अधिग्रहण। यहीं नहीं इसके अलावा नौगढ़ समेत कई ऐसे क्षेत्र हैं जहां आदिवासियों को उनके वनाधिकारों से महर्रूम किया जा रहा है। उत्तर प्रदेश के अधिकत्तर जिलों में दलित, आदिवासी, किसान और मजदूर अपनी आजीविका बचने के लिए संघर्षरत है। जहां एक तरफ प्रशासन किसी भी कीमत पर किसानों से उनकी जमीनें छीनकर पूंजीपतियों को सौंपने पर आमादा हैं वहीं दूसरी तरफ किसान निश्चय करके बैठे हैं कि चाहे जान चली जाए लेकिन वह जमीनें नहीं देंगे। भूमि अधिग्रहण कानून में यह स्पष्ट तौर पर उल्लिखित है कि बहु फसलीय जमीनों का अधिग्रहण सरकार नहीं कर सकती है किंतु सारे नियम कानूनों को ताक पर रखकर उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार किसी भी कीमत पर किसानों की जमीनें हथियाने के फिराक में है।
केंद्र सरकार ने भले ही भूमि अधिग्रहण अध्यादेश वापस ले लिया हो लेकिन हम सभी इस बात से भली भांति परिचित हैं कि उत्तर प्रदेश के विभिन्न जिलों में जबरन भूमि अधिग्रहण का काम लंबे समय से चल रहा है। सोनभद्र जिले में बन रहे कनहर बांध के लिए हुआ भूमि अधिग्रहण हो या इलाहाबाद जिले में जे.पी.पावर प्लांट के लिए हो रहा भूमि अधिग्रहण। यहीं नहीं इसके अलावा नौगढ़ समेत कई ऐसे क्षेत्र हैं जहां आदिवासियों को उनके वनाधिकारों से महर्रूम किया जा रहा है। उत्तर प्रदेश के अधिकत्तर जिलों में दलित, आदिवासी, किसान और मजदूर अपनी आजीविका बचने के लिए संघर्षरत है। जहां एक तरफ प्रशासन किसी भी कीमत पर किसानों से उनकी जमीनें छीनकर पूंजीपतियों को सौंपने पर आमादा हैं वहीं दूसरी तरफ किसान निश्चय करके बैठे हैं कि चाहे जान चली जाए लेकिन वह जमीनें नहीं देंगे। भूमि अधिग्रहण कानून में यह स्पष्ट तौर पर उल्लिखित है कि बहु फसलीय जमीनों का अधिग्रहण सरकार नहीं कर सकती है किंतु सारे नियम कानूनों को ताक पर रखकर उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार किसी भी कीमत पर किसानों की जमीनें हथियाने के फिराक में है।
इसी का उदाहरण 9 सितंबर को इलाहाबाद जिले के करछना तहसील में स्थित कचरी गांव में देखने को मिला। 9 सितंबर की सुबह 15-20 गाड़ियों मे सवार पुलिस, पीएसी, सीआरपीएफ एवं एसटीएफ फोर्स धरना स्थल पर पहुंची और किसानों को गिरफ्तार कर जबरन धरना स्थल पर कब्जा जमा लिया। यह ताडंव यहीं नहीं बंद हुआ। इसके बाद फोर्स धरना स्थल से कुछ दूरी पर स्थित कचरी गांव में पहुंची और वहां पर गांव वालों के साथ मार-पीट और दुर्व्यवहार किया । नाबालिग से लेकर 75 वर्ष के बुजर्गों तक को नहीं छोड़ा गया। पिटाई के बाद लोगों को गाड़ियों में भूसे कि तरह भर कर जेल में डाल दिया गया। 42 गिरफ्तार किसानों में 13 से लेकर 17 साल तक के स्कूलों में पढ़ने वाले बच्चे भी शामिल हैं। गिरफ्तारी के बाद भी पुलिस का तांडव जारी रहा कई घरों के दरवाजे खिड़कियां तोड़ कर घरों की तलाशी ली गयी। महिलाओं और यहां तक की बच्चों के साथ भी ज्यादतियां की गईं। ग्रामीणों के बीच दहशत कायम करने के लिए फोर्स द्वारा गोलियां भी चलाई गई।
आंदोलन के अगुआकार और किसान कल्याण संघर्ष समिति’ करछना के अध्यक्ष राजबहादुर पटेल की गिरफ्तारी हेतू जिला प्रशासन ने 12000 रूपये का इनाम भी घोषित किया है। किसानों पर दबाव बनाकर
आंदोलन खत्म कराने के लिए ग्रामीणों के उपर तीन फ़र्जी मुकदमे दायर किए गए-
आंदोलन खत्म कराने के लिए ग्रामीणों के उपर तीन फ़र्जी मुकदमे दायर किए गए-

- अपराध संख्या 370/15 धारा 147,148 आईपीसी, 7 क्रिमिनल अमेन्डमेन्ट एक्ट

इन मुकदमों में 42 ग्रामीणों को गिरफ्तार करते हुए जेल भेज दिया। यह ग्रामीण आज तक जेल में हैं।
सिर्फ करछना ही नहीं उत्तर प्रदेश के सोनभद्र जिले के कनहर बांध के लिए हो रहे भूमि अधिग्रहण के विरोध में चले आंदोलन के चार साथी अभी भी जेल में हैं।
सिर्फ करछना ही नहीं उत्तर प्रदेश के सोनभद्र जिले के कनहर बांध के लिए हो रहे भूमि अधिग्रहण के विरोध में चले आंदोलन के चार साथी अभी भी जेल में हैं।
वहीं बारा में घटी एक घटना में एक मजदूर ने, जिसने अपनी जमीन इसलिए जेपी कंपनी को दी थी कि उसके बदले उसे नौकरी मिलेगी, काम से निकाले जाने की वजह से आत्महत्या कर ली। इस तरह की तमाम घटनाएं उत्तर प्रदेश की भूमि अधिग्रहण नीति की साजिश का पर्दाफाश करती हैं।
आज जरूरत बनती है कि हम सरकार की इन साजिशों के विरुद्ध खड़े होकर संघर्ष कर रहें इन किसानों के अधिकारों की रक्षा में सहयोग करें। इसी के प्रयास स्वरूप 16 नवंबर को राज्य की राजधानी लखनऊ में सभी किसान संगठनों, ट्रेड यूनियनों तथा संघर्षशील जनता की तरफ से एक विशाल जनप्रदर्शन आयोजित किया जा रहा है।
हमारी मांगे –
हमारी मांगे –

- सन् 2006 में संसद में पारित केन्द्रीय विशिष्ट कानून वनाधिकार कानून-2006 के क्रियान्वयन की स्थिति प्रदेश में अभी तक दयनीय बनी हुई है, जिसके कारण वनक्षेत्रों में समुदायों व वनविभाग के बीच का टकराव लगातार बढ़ रहा है लोग अभी तक अपने हक़ से वंचित हैं। इस कानून को प्रभावी ढंग से लागू किया जाए।
- उत्तर प्रदेश जमींदारी उन्मूलन और भूमि व्यवस्था संशोधन विधेयक, 2015 को तत्काल रद्द किया जाए।
- इस देश के नागरिकों को यह संवैधानिक अधिकार प्राप्त है, कि वे संविधान में प्राप्त अपने मौलिक अधिकारों के अनुच्छेद 19 के तहत अपनी बात रख सके, संगठन का निर्माण कर सकें व संगठित हो कर अन्याय के विरूद्ध लड़ सकें। जनवादी तरीके से चल रहे जनआंदोलनों पर दमन की कार्रवाईयों पर पूरी तरह से रोक लगे व ऐसा करने वाले अधिकारियों को कड़े रूप से दंडित किया जाये। जिला इलाहबाद में प्रशासन द्वारा लगायी गयी अघोषित आपातकालीन स्थिति को समाप्त किया जाये व शांति बहाल की जाये।
