Investment Destination: Jharkhand

Well, from a long time I was willing to write about my state jharkhand.So, here I am with my first blog about Jharkhand.I have started with Investment in major sectors and soom will write on different fields like Politics,Education,Tourism etc.....

Jharkhand has always been an investment hot spot. In fact, poor logistics has never discouraged mega investors and industrial houses from setting up shops here. States like Gujarat,Maharastra and Karnataka may have an edge over it right now,but Jharkhand has the potential of becoming one of the most sought after destinations and boasts of having 100 houses expressing interest to invest.
The state can emerge as India’s steel hub if its Rehabilitation and Resettlement policy,allotment of land and renewal of lease are in order,producing 64 milion tones of the central government’s target of 110 million tones by 2020.With total investment figures crossing Rs 6,40,000 crore-mostly in steel,power and cement sectors-Jharkhand has a growth potential that can rival any other state in the country.While the UPA-led Madhu Koda government has decided to identify firms that are unwilling to establish themselves in the state,there are several steel and power companies waiting to sign MoUs with the government.
Officials said over the next 10 years,private investors are expected to to pump in Rs. 14,00,000 crore into the steel sector in Jharkhand,enriching the state’s offers by around Rs. 10,000-15,000 crore annually by way of royalities,sales taxes and cess.The different steel,power and cement plants are also likely to generate employment to nearly 20 lakhs people,directly and indirectly.

Chhotanagpur and santhal Parganas were deprived of large and small industries when they were part of Bihar,causing high- level unemployment.If all the proposed steel investments materialise,they would generate direct and indirect employment apart from triggering the setting up of ancillary industrial units and revival of ailing small-scale industries.
There are 11 companies waiting to sign MoUs with the Jharkhand government.Companies such as Gold Line industries,Brahmaputra Metal,Staco Power and Steel,Sino steel,Bhusan steel,Anil Industries,Hi-Tech Iron and Steel,Pawanjay Steel,Vini Iron and Vinayak Industries are waiting to sign MoUs while Ispat,Sarthak,Brahmi Impex,Ma Chandi Durga steel and Ranchi Ispat are awaiting renewal of their MoUs.Some companies such as Tata Steel,Jindal South West,Jindal Steel and Power,Adhunik,Abhijeet Infrastructure and SAIL have already begun their groundwork.
The industrial scenario in Jharkhand will take a new shape with the coming up of several modern townships,the plan of which have been taken up by the government. Setting up of new plants and capacity expansion by steel giants during the last two years has created a sense of economic security in Jharkhand.

I Did A Great Job......

I Did A Great Job….(Aug 21st ,2008)
There is a small slum near my colony.Most of the children who live in this slum don’t go to school.Some of them work in garage,shops or in the home of rich persons.Some of them got admission in the school but due to financial problem or due to careless of their parents,they left the study.They work for sometime and rest of the time they waste their time in just moving here and there.All those children belong to the Scheduled caste and Schedule tribes for whom government has given a lot of facilities and also reservation in all government sector.All we know that there is a huge talent gap among lower class,middle class and higher class of our society…..and I think,education is the key.

As a good citizen of our country,I also take care of my society where I live.Somehow a thought came into my mind that if I can motivate those children for going to school then perhaps in coming future their life style can change.So one day I called three children and asked why they don’t go to school.They told me that their parents don’t care of them.I told them about the different facilities and reservation government is providing to them.I also made them understand that how Education can change their life.All they three agreed for going to school.I told them tomorrow that is on 20th August we will go to meet principal regarding their admission.

Next day I saw that not only three but seven children reached at my home at around 10.30 am.Other four children also wanted to go to school.I reached at the government school with those children at about 11 am.I met to the principal and told him my purpose of going there.Principal was not ready to take their admission due to various reasons.Then I gave my introduction to him and also told him about my maternal uncle Mr. Kanhai and Mr. Suresh who are famous personalities in my city.Principal told me that he has good interaction with them and finally he agreed to take their admission.Principal had to go somewhere so he requested me to come on next day.He also told me that he want to talk to parents of those children so if possible then come with their parents.

Next day ten children reached at my home.other three children also wanted to go to school.I told all the children to come with their parents.But at that time parents of most of the children were not at home.So only two parents came with us.We reached at school at about 11.45 am.Principal told parents that he is giving admission to all the children,but make sure that they don’t absent the class.Principal told the same thing to all the children.All the children promised that they will never absent the class.Some of the children used to study in that school so they didn’t need fresh admission,only their admission was renewed.Other children got fresh admission there.After their admission I said thanks to principal sir and to madam who took their admission.

Out of ten children viz. Shashi, soma, aman, Raja, Tinku, Bachchan, Anup,Monika,Bajrang and Rekha,four children took admission in standard IV,Four took admission in standard II and two took admission in standard I.Among these children raja sings very well and grasp any song very quickly.He is very cute.He took admission in standard I.

What I did gave me a great satisfaction.I consider it as one of my astounding achievement.Perhaps,what I did may not prove to be the oasis in the desert but I am sure that by getting education those children can at least create harmony in their family and society.As an individual if we can enable one other individual to learn,one other individual to participate in this opportunity,we can create a world where through education,we can create equality and create more opportunities for everyone.This may be a way for us to contribute back to the society.

One Evening At Blind School......

One Evening At Blind School(August 14th 2008)
Often we blame to god if u don’t get anything that we desire.Me also sometimes blame to god for my desires that I don’t get.But,today it changed after visiting a Blind school which is not too far from my home.

Actualy,Today I didn’t have any planning to visit Blind School.When I came back from Pahari Mandir in afternoon then one of cousin brother Vijay told me that he is going to join a job of flight steward so he needs passport in a week.For getting passport through Tatkal he needs some documents from the court.So,he requested me to go with him.I went with him and completed the task.It was about 5.30 when we were returning to our home.He told me that he has to meet one of his friend who also do classes in Frankfinn with him.he got a call from his friend,she told that she will come at St. Paul’s church at 6 pm.Near the church there is a blind school so I told to my cousin that we can spend some time with the students of Blind school.So our bike started moving towards Blind School.

Both of us reached there at about 5.40.We saw that all those blind students are busy in different activities.But what amazed me most is their cricket playing.Some of the childrens were playing cricket,so I just sat there and started watching their game without disturbing anyone.You might think that how blind persons can play cricket?But,yes they can play the cricket and their cricket is a little bit different from our cricket.Inside the ball,there is something like small pieces of stones that can make sounds when ball moves.Their wickets are made of steels so whenever ball touches the wicket it makes sound of steel so people can easily know that batsman is out.Watching their cricket game was really fantastic.

After some time their game was over so they started dispersing.Five childrens were coming together.We called them and they came near to us.I said Good Evening everyone.They said good evening to me. I told them that I enjoyed watching their cricket and asked them for their introduction.They started giving their introduction.Santosh,Raju,Prakash,Salim and Rajesh all were from different parts of our country.What is more interesting to me was that full name of prakash was same as that of me that is prakash kumar sahu.I immediately told them that my name is also prakash kumar sahu.All they started laughing and said what a coincident.

I talked to them about their lifes at that school.They told me a lot….like what they eat…what they study..what they play….what they do in extra time…..any many more.They also told me that thety are great fans of Dhoni and also love to listen to Himesh.I requested them to sing some of songs for us.They started with the song of Himesh and later on also sang other songs for us.Then I asked about their program for the Independence day.They told me that two of them are good singer and they have participated in the song competition.We had a national flag with us that we purchased when we were returning from the court.So I gave that national flag to them and asked whether they know the national anthem or not.They sang national song and we also participated in them.Now we had to go so We told them that we have some work so now we will go.They told us that it was really nice to talk with us and requested to us to visit again.When I was about to leave that place one of boy caught my hands and asked “bhaiya,do you have a mobile?”.I said yes then he said that he wanted to talk to his father.He told me the number of his father and I dialed that number for him.When I listened his conversation with his father…..It touched my heart.He was crying and requesting to his father that day after tomorrow there is RakshaBandhan so he want to meet his sisters at home and so requested his father to come to take him.

When I was returning to my home then I was thinking that why god has done all these things with those innocent childrens?They have not done anything bad with anyone.I was also thinking that when those childrens are not complaining to god about what he has done with them then what is our right of complaining to god for our desires.Atleast god has given us a wealthy body and a beautiful mind………………

When I met my teacher...

June 14th 2008 ,Saturday
(On a way to my native place Tatisilwai,Ranchi)

It’s after a long time when I was going to my native place Tatisiwai about 12 km away from place where I live.My younger brother droped me to bus stand.I took there an auto for going to my native place.In a way to my native place I was seeing many places in the way where I spent my childhood.The large playground near Namkum,my mama’s steel shop, restaurant, namkum railway stations, many small factories…Suddenly I heard a recognized voice of someone in my auto.I gave a look on that gentleman……what I saw that he is my school teacher.

Perhaps I was in the standard IV or V at that time when he used to teach me maths and moral science.I don’t remember his name now…but it was really happy moment for me to meet my childhood teacher after such a long time.It was like the scene of any hindi movie where a student meet his teacher after a long long time.I did a lot of chat with my teacher.I asked him Aacharyaji..In which school u r teaching now…he said I hv left teaching very long ago…Now I am in the health care line.I live at namkum and my office is near getalsudh.He asked me that what I am currently doing?I told him that I hv just completed my Btech and hv got job in IT company(Infosys).Sir was very happy.I also told him about some other students who are now successful in their life….like Ravi who is Software engineer in Microsoft now.At last I thanked to my teacher for giving me right education in my childhood…It was only due to our teachers all we guys climbs to the ladder of success in our life…..Thanks to all my teachers!!

PrakashMyDiary

Now when our college life has over,most of us are missing our friends and those beautiful moments that we spent together.All we friends did a lot of masti and enjoyed our college life in fullest.I have captured some of the events in my personal diary with the help of words.These are the memories that will keep me alive.........So let me start my blogging from a random page of my diary.....

18-04-2008(Roof of my mess,Lonely,1.30am)
The roof of my mess .........perhaps the best place for me when I am upset or hurted.I enjoy my lonliness at this place.I will never forget this place in my life.During these four years I have shared a lot of good as well as few bad experiences of my life with my friends at this place.I still remember, the time(probably the second year of our B.Tech)when most of the youngsters like us passes through a phase perhaps called the “Love Phase”.We guys are not exceptional.............so all we friends were also going through the same phase.By that time most of us were single.(Now we four guys are in final year and three are in pre-final year............Everyone has got placed in top three reputed IT companies now.............And also most of them with a nice girl with them......hahaha).Most of the times, all we friends used to enjoy and still enjoy some sips of beer and vodka at this wonderful place.It was amazing to have gossips with friends after drinking here.During drunken state.....most of the guys used to speak from their hearts and not from their heads.Sweet cool winds blowing over our head,stars shining in the sky only for us, music of Pink Floyd ...........it was just amazing!!!Differentiating each bit of Pink Floyd in drunken state was amazing(Every bit was clear.......).


BLUE LIGHT

May 29th 2008,12.50 am
(inside study room of my home,Ranchi)

Exactly donn’t know from when dis type of parties that I am going to tell started…….. perhaps from the beginning of the 5th sem.Most of us have read the Chetan Bhagat’s first novel “Five Point someone….” that is the enginnering college life story of three friends…..It describes spicily how they used to enjoy their engineering college life…how they used to do parties,how they used to prepare for their xams and finally how they used to get 5 point some1 in their exams.I will not say that all we mess friends specially Krishna, Prasenjit, Achintya, Rajiv and me enjoyed our engineering life like those IITan guys but rather I will say we friends enjoyed our engineering life atleast 5 times more better than them although we started it a little bit late.Now let me describe how we used to arrange and enjoy parties in our mess.

We had three big rooms in our mess.One for juniors and rest two for us.Whenever we used to plan a night party,all we frnds firstly made one room vacant.Then some of us went Garia to bring Vodka,beer,cold drink and other things required for the party.Someone arranged the blue light,And ya….one friend specially used to go Garia for one more thing without which listening to Pink Floyd was useless bcoz it was easy to understand but was very difficult to feel the bits of Music of Pink Floyd without it.And what is this thing…. I donn’t think I need to mention…

Generally we used to start our party after 12 in night.All the lights were off,door and windows were closed only one window was partially opened.Only a blue bulb was switch on…..this bulb was only in our room and was specially bought for the party purpose.A blue light was spreading to the entire room…….our 1st peg was ready…..a background music was also on…..smokes were just blowing….all we friends looking to each other smiling and not saying anything for sometime…a cold wind was entering into our room from the partially opened window……..the combination of all these things as a single was amazing……

Generally our parties used to start with a song….
”Barsat ke mausam mai,tanhai ke aalam me
mai ghar se nikal aaya,botal bhi utha laya
abhi jinda hoon to jee lene do
bhari barsat mai pee lene do…….”
And,then we continued some hindi and English songs which touches our hearts.And,finally after some time when all we friends used to feel that now we are out of this world then perhaps the god of all music Pink Floyd started…..
“Hello… hello…hello
Is there anybody in there…”
After dis…
“The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path….”
After dis…
“Hey you,out there in the cold
Getting lonely,getting old
Can you feel me?.....”
After dis…
“where were when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you do and the things you do surround me……
”After dis…
“Us us us
And them them them
And after all
we’re only ordinary men……”
And many more…….

Music has a great power.It can make the people laugh and also can make the people cry…..I still remember the time when Prasenjit was going through some bad time.He used to show dat he was happy.But,it was Pink Floyd(Coming back to life….)that made him cry in our night party.A similar kind of case was also there with Rajiv.Rest of us….me,KG and Achintya also cried sometimes not after understanding the Pink Floyd but after feeling it.When I am talking about music then I cann’t forget to mention “Rabindra Sangeet”.I have not listened too much songs of Rabindra Sangeet but I have few.Although I cann’t understand them completely but ya I can feel them.I had heared some time ago that Rabindra Sangeet has great emotions and power.And very recently I saw dis truth….when Krishna cried for almost 1 hour after listening Rabindra sangeet…” MOR PAYER CHINHA….”

I have a lot of things to tell about all these parties….
