[Goanet] VISION GOA 2020

2015-04-02 Thread amar kantak
   

 



 
One needn’t have to be a mathematicalgenius to solve the equation to project 
the economic affairs of this State whichpresently is dependent on tourism, 
off-shore casinos, other taxes and fees.Burdening the common man with an 
adverse structure of increased taxationpolicies by way of abnormal hike in 
challan-fines for traffic rules violation, entrytax, bringing online purchases 
which are not for resale under the ambit oflocal VAT and justifying all this 
revenue collection as a forced alternative dueto mining ban is certainly unjust 
and has only resulted at the cost of loweringthe standard of living. 


 
There is a prevalent confusion inunderstanding of infrastructural and 
economical development. Infrastructuredevelopment mainly helps in providing 
basic amenities and facilitatinglinkages. It is of tangible existence and can 
be easily exploited to gainpolitical mileage. Whereas, in the case of economic 
development it is by naturean activity introduced to promote commerce and trade 
which facilitates the Stateto increase their revenue earnings and improve the 
standard of living to provideus a better quality of life. 


 
Every State needs a vision statement,which stirs the imagination and motivates 
all segments of society to greatereffort. It is an essential step in building 
the role and responsibility ofdifferent agents in the economy, such as the 
private corporate sector, thesmall and tiny sector, people’s organizations etc. 
It is clear, therefore, thatto meet these objectives, a vision statement has to 
operate several levels ofgenerality and specificity. The former CM Manohar 
Parrikar has carved a nichefor himself and the BJP in Goa as he was focused and 
had a vision with which hepursued his objectives relentlessly.


 
I was fortunate to meet the formerEconomic Advisor of Govt. of India; a 
fatherly figure in economics ofIndia.  Dr V A Pai Panandikar was theguest of 
Honour during the felicitation programme organised by the Goa IITAlumni chapter 
for all rankers from Goa who passed the Indian Institute ofTechnology junior 
entrance examination IITjee at a function held in the city onJune 14, 2008. I 
learnt that he was born in Margao; was Special Advisor to theDeputy Prime 
Minister Mr. Morarji Desai - (1967-69) in the Department ofEconomic Affairs, 
Ministry of Finance. He had held a number of criticalgovernment positions and 
also been advisor to a number of top corporate housesand academic institutions. 
 


 
The opportunity to interact with him atlength gave me deep insight and earned 
me maturity in understanding State AdministrativePolicies and Politics apart. I 
recollected my teacher Sr. Journalist Gurudas R.Singbal who once remarked in 
class while teaching “The art of expressing bywriting in simple words the 
complex thoughts voiced by great minds for thebenefit of society and also 
ensuring to keep the readers’ interest captured isnothing else but journalism”. 
As such I undertake to project with utmosthumility those views which have 
mattered worthy. Economic development needs tobe planned and executed in a 
phased manner. Experts from different fields needto prepare background papers 
from valuable inputs of the different sectors.


    

Establishing Consulates of othercountries for Trade Representations, Export 
Promotion Councils in differentparticular fields and Bi-National Chambers of 
commerce  Industry andInter-State Chambers of commerce  Industry would help 
in promoting themuch needed economic development in Goa at a faster pace. The 
need of the houris to put to proper optimum use the existing infrastructure, 
Mormugao PortTrust and Dabolim Airport. Presently exports have declined and are 
mostlypertaining only to pharmaceuticals after ban on mining. 


 

 

 
The Laxmikant Parsekar led governmentcan do well by establishing in Goa a World 
Trade Centre, Export Council, and TradeCommissions for enhancement of trade 
between individual countries and India.Ideally it would be better to primarily 
project Goa as an InternationalMarketing Hub and secondarily as a Tourism 
Marketplace. The local youth too canget a platform to explore business 
opportunities in international trade thuslessening the burden of the government 
to provide them with employmentopportunities in future. 


 
The newly created ministry ‘Aayush’under Union Minister Shripad Naik can also 
be fully exploited for economicdevelopment in the State by projecting Goa as a 
rejuvenating Ayurveda Tourist Centrewith branches managed by local bodies at 
serene locations promoting healthtourism.


 
Popular schemes such as Ladli Laxmi,Grihar Aadhar DSSS etc. go a long way in 
providing social support which areavailed under Social Welfare Schemes and are 
meant for economic sustenance. Insteadyoung women need to be encouraged to 
exploit their entrepreneurial skills byproviding them

The publication of the pro  
 posed Greater MumbaiDevelopment Plan for 2034  
  over the past month hasseen a rare coalition emerge to
 condemn it, from NGOs and political parties, to celebrities and 
artists, and in the past week even the BMC's own Heritage Conservation 
Committee. Aggrieved residents and alert activists are seeing dark 
conspiracies in the details of road alignments, land use reservations, 
and hikes in Floor Space Index (FSI) across the city.
  While high FSI
 has become central to the debate on DP 2034, what matters most for 
Mumbaikars is how policies like FSI, Transferable Development Rights 
(TDR) and other Development Control Rules (DCR) can be harnessed to 
create greater public goods and a better urban environment in the next 
20 years.


  Portrayed from Left to Right as a sell-out to the 
construction industry, DP 2034 is in fact a paper template, referred to 
when permissions are sought for development or redevelopment. Together 
with the DCR, they define the guidelines and recipe book of policies by 
which land use, building, zoning, amenities and infrastructure are 
regulated.


  DP 2034 will only be the third for Greater Mumbai. 
The first was proposed in 1964 and sanctioned in 1967 for a decade until
 1977. It was a broad land use plan, a response by engineers and 
planners who were horrified by the Island City's runaway population 
growth and industrial concentration, even after the annexation of the 
suburbs to Greater Bombay in the 50s, and the statehood of Maharashtra 
in the 60s.


  The second DP ­ still in effect ­ was published in 
1984, submitted to government in 1989, and finally sanctioned between 
1991 and 1994.Whereas 30 years ago planners dreamed of dispersing 
population and relocating industry to the mainland, today large cities 
are seen as “engines of growth“. DP 2034 calls for densification, not 
decongestion.But the chief tool by which planners then and now sought to
 manage and direct urbanisation, and generate surpluses for public 
amenities, was through FSI and TDR.
  Over time, these went from 
being bureaucrats' preferred policy instruments to the builders' 
tradeable commodities, entrenching the wellknown nexus on which much of 
Mumbai's and Maharashtra's finances increasingly depend.


  DP 2034
 attempts to rebalance the use of FSI, TDR across the city as a whole, and
 adopts a more

[Goanet] [JudeSundayReflections] Easter Sunday

2-Apr-2015
Dear Friend,
Easter is truly the Lord’s Day; His day of victory over suffering and death, 
but is it also our day as well. Every Easter we are reminded that God desires 
to restore humanity and all of creation to our original blessing. As we 
celebrate the mystery of his death and resurrection we discover once more that 
our God is a God of peace, our God is a God of forgiveness, a God of hope and 
Life. Have a joyous Easter celebration! -Fr. Jude
Sunday Ref. Easter “He has risen as he said! We rejoice and are glad! Alleluia! 
Alleluia!” 5-Apr-2015
Acts 10: 34, 37-43;          Col. 3: 1-4;          John 20: 1-9;

The first reading from the Acts, is part of an early sermon of St. Peter on the 
feast of Pentecost, his very first after the resurrection. He tells us how he 
is a witness of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Without the 
resurrection Jesus’ life and ours would be a total failure, with the 
resurrection every moment of His ministry has new meaning and every moment of 
our own can take on new significance. Peter in this sermon reminds his 
listeners that Jesus is Lord of all and that his message is a message of hope 
and peace. He emphasizes that every believer is called to be a witness of the 
Lord’s life, death and resurrection. We are called to be witnesses of the 
resurrection, but the glory of the resurrection is realized in us only when we 
have accepted the many crosses that come our way leading us to new life.
Unfinished Till BrokenA story is told of an Eastern village that, through the 
centuries, was known for its exquisite pottery. Especially striking were its 
urns; high as tables, wide as chairs, they were admired around the globe for 
their strong form and delicate beauty. Legend has it that when each urn was 
apparently finished, there was one final step. The artist broke it – and then 
put it back together with gold filigree. An ordinary urn was then transformed 
into a priceless work of art. What seemed finished wasn't, until it was 
broken.Steve Goodier
The Gospel begins with Mary Magdalene coming to the tomb to anoint the body of 
Jesus. She knows the stone has to be rolled away, and she also knows that she 
cannot do it by herself. Maybe she believes that the Lord will provide and he 
will take care of it all - and he does! “She saw that the stone had been 
removed from the tomb.” Maybe Mary’s attitude should be a great encouragement 
for us all. We can’t remove the boulder that blocks us and prevents us from 
bursting forth into new life. But the Lord is there and He will do it for us! 
She saw but she did not believe. The Apostles would not accept the conclusion, 
so obvious to us, that Jesus must have risen from the dead. Peter and John did 
not believe but ran to the tomb to check out for themselves and remained 
baffled in their unbelief. Finally they both went into the tomb, they began to 
understand the scriptures, they saw and they believed. The Gospel tells us that 
Mary stood outside the tomb, weeping and looking into the tomb to see, not the 
risen Jesus but where they had laid his body. She was looking for Jesus in the 
wrong place, looking for the risen among the dead! She sees Jesus but still 
does not recognize him. This narrative of the resurrection reminds us that left 
on our own we look for the Lord in the wrong places, among the dead rather than 
among the living. But the good news is that the Lord does not give up on us. He 
will reveal himself to us and call us by name so that like Mary we can say: “I 
have seen the Lord!” and once we have seen him and experienced the power of the 
resurrection nothing will ever be the same again.
Witness to the ResurrectionIn the darkest days of Stalinist Russia a special 
League of the Godless was established to stamp out the last vestiges of 
religion from peoples’ lives. One Easter morning the Commissar of this League 
addressed a huge rally in Moscow’s Red Square. He ranted along his usual lines 
that religion was the instrument of the bourgeoisie and the opium of the 
proletariat. At the end of his harangue he generously offered the mike to 
anyone who wished to debate with him. Nobody wanted a one-way ticket to Siberia 
until one old man made his way forward. He surveyed his huge audience, cleared 
his throat and began to sing: “The Lord has risen.” It was the traditional 
Orthodox Easter greeting. Moved by the old man’s courage, voices from the 
square swelled up in reply: “He has truly risen.” Religion in Russia was not 
dead as long as belief in the resurrection of Christ was not dead in 
people.Sylvester O’Flynn in ‘The Good News of Mark’s Gospel’
Empty TombEaster celebrations lead us to an empty tomb! The coffin of President 
Abraham Lincoln has been opened twice since his death. The first time it was 
opened in 1887, twenty years after his death. Why was it opened? Because of the 
rumour that the coffin did not contain Lincoln’s body. It was opened and the 
body in it was proven to be

[Goanet] World Class in Goa

2015-04-02 Thread Roland Francis
I have no problems with associating Goa and world class. For example: Goa is 
world class in garbage disposal, world class in corruption, world class in good 
treatment of tourists and things of that nature.

Very few actually mention what really is world class about it; the hospitality, 
friendliness and kindness of it's people. The serenity and beauty of its 
landscape and seascape which like its niche cuisine is quickly disappearing 
with ugly influences bearing down.

So, I am not a little humored with the recent spate of descriptions (in dreams 
I might add) of its world class attributes which is much at odds with what 
prevails or will ever prevail.

Recently, a Goanetter described Panjim as world class. Now Suresh Prabhu the 
Railway Minister says Margao will be world class when he is done with it.

What next? Margao's Sonsddo the world class environmental acreage? Feni, the 
world class beverage? Vehicle drivers, world class in safety?

[Goanet] END OF THE ROAD FOR MICKKY PACHECO

2015-04-02 Thread Aires Rodrigues
The Supreme Court of India earlier this week on March 30th dismissed the
appeal filed by Goa’s flamboyant Rural Development Minister Francisco
Xavier Pacheco alias Mickky Pacheco



The Supreme Court upheld the  17th July 2014 order of the Bombay High Court
at Goa which had directed Mickky Pacheco to surrender and undergo  six
months imprisonment and pay a fine of  Rs 1,500/- for having on 15th July
2006 assaulted  a Electricity department Junior Engineer Kapil Natekar.



Though it is over four days since the Supreme Court verdict, Mickky Pacheco
has not yet surrendered himself to undergo that sentence of six months in
jail. Mickky Pacheco infact yesterday falsely stated that he had filed a
review petition against the Supreme Court order. However officials in the
Supreme Court have confirmed that no such review petition has been filed.
The habitual law breaker Mickky Pacheco should have abstained from lying at
least during this Holy Week.



It is however appalling that Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar has shown
utter disrespect to the Supreme Court order by not dropping Mickky Pacheco
from the cabinet.

,

In 2008 the BJP had vociferously demanded the resignation of then Finance
Minister Dayanand Narvekar after he was merely charge sheeted by the
police. Now in clear double standards the saffron party is allowing Mickky
Pacheco to continue as a Minister despite his conviction being upheld by
the highest Court of the country.



Infact the very induction of the convicted Mickky Pacheco into the cabinet
and the party hobnobbing with tainted MLAs Mauvin Godinho and Atanasio
Monserrate only exposes the political hypocrisy of the BJP.


Minister Mickky Pacheco has a very voluminous track record of having
assaulted one too many. The long arm of the law has finally caught up with
this disorderly Minister. The only option now for Mickky Pacheco is to
surrender and cool his high heels for six months seeking repentance for all
those wrongdoings.

Why subsidised pilgrimages to Jerusalem are bad news for Maharashtra's
Christians

Chief Minister
Devendra Fadnavis has
been urged to
subsidise Christian
pilgrimages to Israel
and Palestine.  The
plan must be nipped
before it takes off.

Mario da Penha
Apr 1, 2015

A week ago, on March 23, a delegation representing three
Christian groups met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra
Fadnavis in Mumbai.  The groups -- the Indian National
Christian Council, Bombay Catholic Sabha and United Churches
of Mumbai -- sought an assurance from Fadnavis that those who
vandalised a church property in New Panvel recently will be
apprehended.  Besides this, they put forward six demands
concerning the Christian community -- one of these was a
government subsidy to Christian pilgrims from Maharashtra
visiting Jerusalem and other sites in Israel and Palestine
associated with the life of Jesus Christ.

The demand for a pilgrimage subsidy piggybacks on similar
schemes introduced by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS
Rajasekhara Reddy in 2008 and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J
Jayalalithaa in 2011.  Under those programmes, the southern
states had earmarked Rs 1 crore for a maximum of 500
Christian pilgrims, each of whom could receive Rs 20,000 at
most as subsidy to visit Jerusalem.  Jayalalithaa sweetened
the deal for her state a year later by offering an allowance
of Rs 1.25 crore to Hindu pilgrims travelling to Mansarovar
in Tibet and Muktinath in Nepal.  Six other Indian states --
Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and
Uttarakhand -- also cover a slice of the Mansarovar expenses
of pilgrims from their states.

  Jayalalithaa's largesse to Hindu devotees in 2012
  came even as the Supreme Court ruled that another
  pilgrimage allowance, the Haj subsidy, should be
  discontinued.  While upholding the subsidy as
  constitutional, the apex court argued that the
  Qur'anic injunction to visit Mecca only applied to
  those who could afford the expenses.  It asked
  the Central government to progressively reduce the
  amount of subsidy until it was completely
  eliminated by 2022.  At the time, Muslim public
  opinion welcomed the verdict, arguing that the
  subsidy unfairly benefited the terminally ill Air
  India, allowing it to stay afloat through its Haj
  monopoly, even as other carriers offered cheaper
  deals to pilgrims.  With the rising costs of
  airfare and the increase in the number of pilgrims,
  the annual Haj subsidy had swollen from Rs 10 crore
  in 1994 to Rs 685 crore by 2011.

Though the allowances granted by Andhra Pradesh and Tamil
Nadu to the Jerusalem pilgrimage are meagre compared to the
Haj, these annual allocations could rise rapidly if lawmakers
felt they were a secure way to corner community patronage.
There is no dearth of portentous signs around.

Creating new bureaucracies

The Christian groups' meeting with Fadnavis last week was
facilitated by Ashish Shelar, the first-time Bharatiya Janata
Party MLA from Bandra West in Mumbai.  In 2009, after Shelar
lost narrowly to the Congress's Baba Siddique in the heavily
Christian Bandra West constituency, he actively began
courting the Christian community.  He first aided the
re-naming of a public square in Santa Cruz, a part of this
constituency, after the cartoonist Mario Miranda.  This led
one priest to eulogise him as an honest and upright
politician who helps Christians.  Then, in 2013, he met
then Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar to urge him to provide
a subsidy for the Jerusalem pilgrimage.

During the assembly elections in 2014, Shelar found himself
in the midst of robust Christian support.  The Catholic
Secular Forum nailed its colours to Shelar's mast, and the
Catholic cardinal of Mumbai, Oswald Gracias, exhorted the
community to vote for good governance.  Gordon D'Souza of
the Bombay Catholic Sabha, who accompanied Shelar to meet
Fadnavis last week, also enthusiastically cheered the
cardinal's entreaty to the community last October.  In the
end, Shelar defeat Siddique by a margin of over 26,000 votes.

  While Shelar insists his proposed subsidy is
  entirely voluntary, this pork barrelling of
  Christians through superficial community concerns
  has met with anger, including from a former
  office-bearer of the Catholic Sabha who decried the
  politics of sponsorship.  Creating new state
  bureaucracies to screen both pilgrims and tour
  operators will only strengthen these patronage
  relationships and increase their clout over
  communities.

Unlike the Haj, Christians are under no scriptural obligation
to visit Jerusalem.  As the anthropologist Margaret Meibohm
has shown, pilgrimages of Mumbai's Catholics have long been
directed not towards Jerusalem or Rome, but syncretic Indian
sites such as

Fortune Magazine Names Pope Francis 4th Greatest World Leader  
  Despite Giving Top Spot to Francis in Last Year's List of 50, Fortune 
Felt Compelled to Include Him Again
  By Deborah Castellano Lubov

  
NEW YORK, March 31, 2015 (Zenit.org) - Fortune magazine has named 
Pope Francis the fourth greatest leader in the world.
Last
 year, in the first annual release of the global business magazine's 
rankings of the 50 World's Greatest Leaders, the Pope was given the 
number one spot.

In its second just released list, Francis is given fourth place in 
the ranking of the extraordinary men and women who are transforming 
business, government, philanthropy, and so much more,according to the 
magazine.

Since becoming Pope in 2013, the magazine said that the Holy Father, 
has been shaking up the management of one of the world’s largest 
bureaucracies: the Roman Catholic Church.

While noting this earned him the top spot on Fortune's list of 
World's Greatest Leaders last year, the magazine says his vision, 
fortitude, and commitment to reform were so extraordinary in 2014 that 
we’re including him again this year.

It is not just that he has led by example—by now it’s well known 
that the pope, who has long championed the virtues of charity and 
modesty, has forgone the traditional suite in the Apostolic Palace, 
opting instead to reside in a one-bedroom apartment in the Vatican 
guesthouse.

Less known is how decisive he is in personnel choices, the magazine
 continued, replacing the boards of the Vatican Bank and its main 
regulatory body with highly respected business-people from around the 
globe.

Despite perhaps some pushback, this pontiff is not easily conned, it says.

He gets information on all important church personnel and 
organizations from a variety of sources and has even ensured operating
 budgets are now pruned to ensure that as much money as possible can go 
to charity.

This, after all, is a pope who lives his own lessons, it says.

In the year since his election, the Pope has been named Person of the Year by 
Time, and made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, among others. 

Fortune is a global business magazine published by Time Inc. and founded in 
1930.

Number one on this year's list is Apple CEO Tim Cook chosen for his 
strong leadership after the death of Steve Jobs. Number two is European 
Central Bank President Mario Draghi and third is Chinese President Xi 
Jinping. 

Others to make the list are the Prime Minister of India, Bill and 
Melinda Gates, and the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court,
 pop singer Taylor Swift, and Mark Zuckerberg.

[Goanet] A Railway Runs Through....

2015-04-02 Thread Gabe Menezes
...I bought the book in Goa cost RS520 which is £5.62, more expensive than in
London! I read it in half a day.

I was surprised to see that the :German Whisky became an Alcoholic Drink
after much protestations.

Regarding The G.O.A. (U.K.) Ltd and it's ultimate demise as portrayed in
the book, I would like to clarify that the Loans given to the Association
by myself, Jason D'costa and Norton Antao were not Commercial loans. This
money was given at better than what could have been obtained from a High
Street Bank, i.e. the Bank of England lending rate was used; furthermore
these loans were given without security i.e. unsecured loans.

It would have been nice to have mentioned the donors; as the piece was
intended to be an Historical account. It is not everyday that a sizeable
sum of money is lent unsecured. In this instance the amount was £50,000.
The point is that this was not a Commercial Loan. Bunkum History
