CRISIL Assigns‘A+/SAtable’ Rating for Manappuram Home Finance Pvt. Ltd.

By Tricitynews Reporter
Chandigarh 26th October:- Leading credit rating agency CRISIL has assigned its “A+/stable” credit rating to the long term bank loan facility of Manappuram Home Finance Private Ltd (MHF). The rating reflects managerial and financial support received from the parent Manappuram Finance Ltd. and adequate capitalisation. 
According to CRISIL, Manappuram Home Finance is adequately capitalised for the expected scale of business following infusion of capital of Rs.55 crore in fiscal 2016, taking its total paid up capital to Rs.100 crore. Additional infusions are expected to support capital adequacy and keep the gearing at around 5 times over the medium term. These rating strengths are partially offset by a small scale of operations with a limited track record, a modest earnings profile, and exposure to inherent risks relating to the affordable housing finance segment.
The expectation of support from the parent is driven by the strategic importance of the company to the Manappuram group in diversification of its financial product suite. The business is scalable and is expected to grow materially over the medium term. Manappuram Finance Ltd. holds 100% of the equity in Manappuram Home Finance. The parent has infused growth capital and will infuse additional capital as and when required. Furthermore, its Managing Director, V. P. Nandakumar, along with another director, is represented on the board of the company. CRISIL believes Manappuram Home Finance will continue to receive strong financial and managerial support from its parent, while maintaining adequate capitalisation, over the medium term.

Cut through the drudgery by turning on Bollywood’s favorite singer Mika Singh’s brand new foot-tapping anthem for MTV ‘The Junkyard Project’ and make the act of cleaning fun. The lyrics of the anthem have been crafted in a manner that they blend perfectly with Mika’s vocals and energetic vibe to urge youngsters to take charge of cleaning up India with his quirky anthem, ‘Dunk that junk’.
The Junkyard Project is a unique take on Swachh Bharat Abhiyan by MTV to mobilize the youth to take a stand on cleanliness and take on the challenge of turning dirt into art. MTV tied up with 300 colleges and mobilized the ‘Junkyard Army’ of over 30,000 students across India, who got together to clean up neighbourhoods and beautify 300 junk spaces as live music motivated them. Now, MTV along with -the King of Indie-pop, Mika has created the adrenalin fuelled ‘Dunk That Junk’ anthem to give this young army a pumping new war cry!

Police Use Water Cannons on Punjab Youth Congress Protestors

By Tricitynews Reporter
Chandigarh 26th October:- Workers of Punjab Youth Congress (PYC) headed by their president, Amarpreet Singh Lally, protested against the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) government which failed to deliver justice to Behbal Kalan firing victims who were staging peaceful protest against the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib last year. Youth Congress demanded the time bound CBI probe in the matter. Senior congress leader Harish Chaudhary also came to support the youth brigade of the party and pledged their solidarity for the cause. Police resorted to mild lathicharge and used water cannons on members of (PYC) leaving few injured.
Many of them including the president of PYC Amarpreet Singh Lally were detained by the Police while they were marching towards Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s house from Congress Youth Bhawan, Sector 15 in Chandigarh.
Amarpreet Singh Lally said that Badals who claimed to be sole guardians of Sikhism in Punjab should resign as they have failed to take action against the culprits who were responsible for the series of sacrilegious incidents last year which created a crisis for the state.
Condemning the insensitive attitude of father-son who are running the government in Punjab, Amarpreet Singh Lally said that the Badal government failed to nip the trouble in the bud following which a spate of incidents of sacrilege of the Guru Granth Sahib surfaced. The situation went bad to worse after two persons died in police firing in Behbal Kalan village in Faridkot district on October 14. The real culprits are out of reach even after one year. Nothing short of arrest of guilty cops would sooth the sentiments of the family and Sikh community.   
Series of desecration incidents of the holy book Guru Granth Sahib took place across Punjab which sparked protests and disrupted communal harmony in the state in October 2015 last year. 
Amarpreet Singh Lally said that the issue caused immense pain to Sikhs living in India and abroad. The law and order situation in Punjab deteriorated as the miscreants were having free hand and state government failed to control the situation. Resident of village Sarwan, Gurjit Singh and Behbal Khurd’s resident Krishan Bhawan had died in police firing that had been ordered to disperse people who were protesting over the sacrilege of Sikh’s holy book Guru Granth Sahib.
Among those who participated in the protest also included Dhanwant Jimmy Patiala, Dalveer Singh (Goldy) Khangura, Gurkeemat Singh Sidhu, Sarita Sharma, Kamaljeet Brar, Barinder Singh Dhillon, Vikramjit Singh Pehalwan, Gurmukh Chahal, Barinder Singh Dhaliwal, Sarvjeet Brar, Aarika Kanwar, Daaman Bajwa, Poonam Kangra, Sandeep Bhatia, Avjinder Singh Kala, Rahul Sidhu, Simar Gill and Amanpal Singh Dhanoa.

Unveiling the Incubation Facility of STPI Mohali at the JW Marriott, the Union Minister embarked hat digital India is for the poor and underprivileged in the society and directed STPI Mohali to provide special facilities to promote entrepreneurship amongst dalit youth.
On the request of the Union Minister for Food Processing Industry Harsimrat Kaur Badal, to make STPI Moali to innovate IT solutions for the farmers, Ravi Shankar Parsad endorsed the idea and assured that STPI Mohali would become the Centre for Innovation for the Farmers too, and should become a beacon of Digital India.
Listing out the growth in diverse areas of country’s economy on the digital front, the union minister commended STPI for helping the IT industry grow and create newer employment opportunities, reaching 3 lakh crores in software exports out of which Rs. 3 lakh crores is being generated from the Tier II cities.
Digital India, Startup India, Standup India are the programmes that are transforming our country and empowering the people having reached phenomenal growth  reaching 103 crore mobile phones, issuing 105 crores adhaar cards, 40 crores broadband connections expected to reach 50 crores by next year, and 27 crores  smart phones, he added.
STPI shall very soon be laying the foundation stone of its next centre in Amritsar to help the smaller cities become part of the digital India movement. He hoped that the country which had very few mobile phone manufacturing units has attracted fresh FDI and there are over 40 such manufacturing units in the country, and hoped that manufacturing facility for mobiles would come up in Punjab too.
Union Minister for Food Processing Industry  Harsimrat Kaur Badal, said that opening of this incubation facility for startups in Mohali is a historic event, and the infrastructure facilities to promote education, health, transportation, etc. in the State is changing the face of Punjab.
Punjab is an agrarian state, she said, and requires the innovative IT solutions to help the farmers cope up with the vagaries of Nature and reduce their dependence on weather.
Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Vijay Sampla, said that Punjab has largest number of scheduled castes and tribes who need to be empowered and STPI can contribute immensely.

Spread over nearly 1.40 lakh square feet of built-up space, the incubation facility would go a long way in encouraging new IT/ITES entrepreneurs and startups to make it a hub for entrepreneurship. This would provide a major boost to the IT companies in Punjab to enable them to host their software applications and data, securely and safely at a fraction of the cost, instead of their own dedicated data centre. The building also houses Network Operation Centre equipped with infrastructure to ensure networking services, firewalls, servers, routers, and 100% redundant bandwidth for the users in the building.
The incubation facility has a dedicated Tier-III standard world-class data centre of 160 rack capacity available to startups to use it for big data analytics and software as a service, informed Dr Omkar Rai, Director General of STPI, he informed.
Over 60,000 sqft area from third to the sixth floors provides warm shells and 100-seats Plug-and-Play modular office space for the startups to operationalize their businesses within hours.
The top floor houses common facilities including a 100-seats auditorium, cafeteria, board rooms and meeting halls.
The facility compliments the startup ecosystem that STPI had been encouraging in the region and intends to create robust and active partnership amongst academia, research institutions, industry, professional bodies, investors and financial institutions, to help the startups grow.
Dr Omkar Rai informed that the Incubation Facility is the only building in the region which is expected to get 5-star rating as the Green Building by GRIHA, and the Ministry of Environment has already recognized STPI Mohali with an award for “Exemplary Demonstration of Energy Management.
