Improvement Project of Science Construction CS

Abstract Science Construction’s business is in planning, developing and building road projects. The major of its clients are municipalities, city governments, and other public sector entities. While the bankruptcy rates for these clients is very low, when economic downturns happen, their ability to pay in a timely fashion also suffers. This leads to businesses such as Science Construction needing to take on additional debt and to find creative methods in order to stay afloat during times of recession. Methods such as selling accounts receivables at discounted rates and taking larger lines of credit through banks and other lending institutions are some of the ways organizations can remain viable when their cash inflows have turned into a trickle. Science Construction is asking the Turkish Courts to postpone their bankruptcy proceedings for a year while they attempt to restructure. Through this, suggestions such as forcing shareholders to pay their debt to the organization, gaining credi...

Wage Settlement in Indian Banking Industry

After much dilly dallying the wage negotiation in Banking Industry is likely to be completed shortly; as reported by the Trade Unions engaged in negotiation. What seems with elections in different states closing in, their political bosses have shown them green signal! Reason? you must know what follows in every industry after wage negotiation in the Nationalized sectors in our country, a good percentage of the arrears (the accumulated amount of the balance of the difference between enhanced wage and existing wage, since the effective date of settlement)is taken away from every employee (of course who are members of these unions) as levy. This makes a handsome fund in the hand of these Trade Unions; a chunk from that is doled out to their respective political parties. So it makes sense to hasten the wage settlement.

Imagine; that it is almost two and half years now the settlement is on; in between Bank employees have gone on strikes number of times; leaving the customers to suffer. Nothing could hasten the process of negotiation till the election knocked the doors! Remember, Alexander the great commented on this country centuries ago to Celucas,his General, standing on the other side of Indus river " see how great(unique!) the country is!". So it is in every way. Here every decision is taken politically, be it reservation , wage negotiation or anything you can imagine on earth.
But what is the outcome of such prolonged negotiation? Well, the pension issue of the Bank employees appears to have been resolved, with the pension fund to be created with partial subscription of the employees. Mind you this has never happened so far with any Government undertaking sector. So this is land mark settlement. Last time when Bank employees were offered pension options, it was just like another options. The Reserve Bank employees were given this options number of times. Our MPs and MLAs fix their own pension doling out the public funds. Where as these Banks, most of them are laying golden eggs are asked to create pension funds with suitable contribution from their employees.
Any way this one part of the story; the other part is, after the settlement what will the average wage of bank employees in comparison to other sectors? See even after the new wage, a clerk in bank at the time of joining will get a salary between Rs7500/- to Rs8500/-(approx) PM, depending upon the place of posting. As in metros they get more city compensatory allowance and house rent. Sounds funny! but it fact and that is why it is observed those who are joining the industry leave it sooner they get any other jobs even in Municipalities as they are far better pay masters. Obviously, this will help the bankers to take steps ahead quite smoothly towards outsourcing, as the industry is likely to starve for work force

Those of you are feeling happy about the affair, keeping the banking stocks price in mind beware. The result of running financial institutions, specially banks have been tasted in recent US sub-prime crises followed by global recession. After all you can never expect the mercenaries would fight for your nation the way soldiers do.

CHITTARANJAN IN 50s

Hi, Everybody, sometime some of you keep me asking about my days and time at Chittaranjan. This is natural, after all there are gaps of decades between most of you and me ! This has prompted me with an idea of writing this to share my old good days with those of you who are interested. Indian Railway under the British colonial rule was another group of companies with different British Managements. Since the different railway networks under all of them were used mutually for their own benefits. At places, different railway companies had the facilities of repairing and maintenance of their locomotives and passenger and goods carriages. To name a few, like Anda, Adra, Howrah, Liluah, Mughal sarai, Jhajha , these are they places I mention since they are quite closed by our loving Chittaranjan. The locomotives were imported from Manchester, England and few from Canada and Australia , all under the Union Jack. A good number of railway operational staffs were anglo Indians,...

Jyoti Basu.....The Great Son of Bengal

I don't remember the exact date, but probably it was in the month of August 1991. I was attached as a free lancer to a least know weekly “ The Democratic Forum” ; my fancy to give a try to my journalistic flair was the sole motive with that association. My editor, Late Mr M.L. Shah was the person who was encouraging me. That day he came to my office and asked if I was free in the evening. Fortunately I was and asked him back the reason. He said Mr Jyoti Basu would give a press conference at the press club, Kolkata and if I wish I could attend that. It was a pleasant surprise ; so I readily agreed. In the evening Mr, B.L. Shah of “Dainik Rooplekha” , a Hindi daily from the same stable of my weekly, fetched me from my office to the press club. We were early birds, outside the club , on the lawn people were sitting making circles and chatting with each other. I felt a fish out of water, as none knew me and so I. Turning to my companion, I found he was enjoying my discomfort! ...
