By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 29^th Mar, 2019:- S Prahalathan, Chief General Manager, EXIM Bank, India, said that Punjab has very good prospects to revive its exports, and be amongst the top 10 exporting States in the country.

S Prahalathan said further that besides, agriculture and allied industries, should the latent potential in textiles and automotive industries are captured, Punjab’s economy is bound to see a northward movement.

Exim Bank apart from financing, facilitating India’s trade and investment has also been supporting various States in the country to identify new horizons for exports. In the process the Bank has been conducting state-level Studies to assess the opportunities various Indian States have. Some of these Studies have been done in conjunction with the State Government.

Bank is currently undertaking a preliminary Study to identify the export potential of Punjab. Exports from Punjab have registered a negative annual average annual growth of 4.4 percent between 2013-14 and 2017-18. According to the latest figures exports stands at US$ 5.7 billion.

The broad contours of this enabling environment would inter-alia include improvement in institutional and export infrastructure in the State, whilst adopting a focused approach on select sectors.

Chandigarh 29^th Mar, 2019:- The camera is the constant companion of Ashish Raj, as he walks many meandering paths, trails, undiscovered and unexplored vistas to capture nature’s perfection, nature’s splendor and myriad forms of beauty -- innocent, spectacular and panoramic. The journey of creativity and a deep connect with photography started about a year back for Ashish Raj on the expansive and landscaped lawns of his beautiful home in Saharanpur, which is an abode of nature. The landscaped lawns  are blessed with nature’s bounty, birds, flowers, trees, foliage, small animals and Ashish Raj began drawing both solace and peace from such nature, as he observed  many moods and moments, sensitively of such nature’s views, which were captured by. Ashish Raj on his iPhone camera. The results were stunning, as each frame narrated a story and depicted nuances that are often lost to the eyes. The scenes that Ashish Raj captured on his morning walk Sessions began to unfold so many treasure of nature, which bestowed him experiences made him reflect and view clearly the subtleties of nature’s grandness and also took him on a journey of self-discovery and introspection regarding nature.

From there on, began a journey that has taken Ashish Raj places, with the internal and external worlds guiding his monochrome and color photographs, as Ashish Raj constantly experiments with the subject of nature, freezing the moments in time, moving beyond the scene and depicting details that were etherealed. Ashish Raj’s photographs strive to tell stories of not only nature, but the lives we live, the streets we walk, spaces we inhabit, clouds, birds, landscapes, the colors of the sun, flowers, trees...the frames evoking many emotions and feelings.

Prolific in his use of both technique and art, Ashish Raj with ‘Parvaz’ (first flight of a bird), his first exhibition of photographs, strives to share the stories of these fleeting moments, documenting the natural beauty that surrounds us. The flight of birds, the sky in various hues, the architectural elements of temples, churches and monuments that take us back in time, bare poplar trees in autumn, the sun playing hide and seek behind palm trees, the stark landscape of winter, the rocks in the Kosi river creating natural installations, kinnow-laden trees...the photographs transport you to varied locations, with the colour contrasts and play of light creating works that strike new conversations. Ashish Raj, who is also equipped with a DSLR Camera, doesn’t believe in any short-cuts and desists from using Photoshop or color correction, for he believes it takes away the essence and aesthetics of a photograph.

Ashish Raj’s wife and daughters are his constant supporters and companions, as he embarks on new journeys to pursue his passion of photography in following couplet.

That’s when his parents finally started believing in him and his singing. So his first song was a result of his parents blessings and support.

Indian Doctors Serving Beyond Borders: Rotary Medical Mission Returns after Serving in Madagascar

By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 28^th Mar, 2019:- In last 21 years Rotary from India has sent more than 500 doctors to serve in 43 countries, and majority of them had been from Chandigarh and surrounding areas, informed Rajendra K. Saboo, former world president of Rotary International here today.

The concept of intercontinental medical mission was conceived by Rajendra K. Saboo and his wife Usha Saboo with first mission in 1998 to Uganda,  which tremendously raised the stature of India in the world as a ‘giver’ and not a ‘receiver’ when teams of super specialists shared their expertise and talent with the patients in Africa.

A team of 19 doctors from eight specialties along with Rotarian volunteers had recently returned from Madagascar, having attended to 3,500 patients in OPDs.

Some of the doctors from Chandigarh included eye surgeon Dr Nivedita Singh, dermatologist Dr Vanita Gupta, plastic surgeon, Dr V D Singh, ENT specialist Dr Raman Abrol, general surgeon Dr. N.S. Sandhu, gynecologist Dr. Nirlep Kaur, and orthopedician Dr. Ravjit Singh.

In the most trying situations, 163 eye, 73 general, 36 plastic, 34 ENT, 35 orthopedic, 8 gynecology, and 576 dental surgeries were done.  The dermatology department attended to 1250 patients and distributed free medicines to them. 

Doctors shared their experience of working in difficult situations with dismal infrastructure facilities and lack of trained manpower, causing proliferation of congenital diseases, and many curable but neglected cases of skin diseases, bone infections, broken bones, hernia, goiter, clubfoot, burn injuries, etc.

Dr Vanita Gupta said that the country has no trained dermatologist, and skin diseases including fungus, scabies abounded.  Eye surgeon Dr. Nivedita found nonfunctional equipment in the operation theatre including auto-clave (sterilizer) and then used pressure cookers to manage the situation.

Dr VD Singh added that Indian doctors are most respected for their talent, their ability to work in difficult conditions for long hours and to innovate at the spur of the moment.

Praveen Goyal, District Governor 3080, who was a part of the team as a volunteer, said that it moved us to see smiles on the faces of the patient after surgery like the young 8-years old girl who was able to smile because of dental problem. 

The team of doctors included from India included ophthalmologists, orthopedic surgeons, dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, gynecologists, general surgeons, ENT surgeons, plastic surgeons,  pathologists and anesthesiologists, who also trained local doctors in newer medical techniques.

R K Saboo said that each medical specialist not only conducted surgery, dispensed medicines, but more importantly, trained the local doctors and paramedics in the latest advances in various medical disciplines.

R K Saboo had also initiated medical missions in remote corners of India too in 2006 where similarly teams of doctors travelled to tribal areas and hard-to-reach locations to serve them.  So far 14 such medical missions in India have been carried out in different parts of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, J&K, Chhatisgarh, and Nagaland.

The next international medical mission with team of 17 doctors in going to Mongolia from 5^th to 17^th May 2019.

Snapdeal Brings India’s Bazaars Online: Punjab-Based Sellers are the Highest Sellers of Sports Goods on Snapdeal

By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 27^th Mar, 2019:- Snapdeal, India’s leading value-focused e-commerce platform, is making rapid progress in its mission of taking India’s bazaars online.

India's consumption is US$800 Billion, which is growing consistently and will reach US$2 Trillion by 2025. Online commerce is nearly 2% of India’s retail and will reach 10% by 2025. Thus, the online market in India will be worth US$ 200 Billion in the next 7 years.

In India, 10% of the retail is in the organized sector and 90% of India’s retail is serviced by the unorganized sector – the various bazaars that are common in each and every state and city in the country. In the past, unorganized retail was adversely impacted by organized retail and had no recourse. Snapdeal built a marketplace to provide these sellers with an opportunity to move online in order to grow. 

Punjab-based sellers are the highest sellers of sports goods on Snapdeal and serve buyers all over the country. Some of the popular sports goods sold online by Punjab-based sellers are punching bags, badminton rackets, sports shoes, hand wraps, and home gym sets. They also sell huge quantities of safety rods and whey protein. Majority of the sports goods come from sellers based in and Jalandhar.

Among the other categories, Punjab-based sellers also sold crepe tops, phulkari dupattas, and embroidered juttis. Anarkali suits from sellers of Zirakpur and watches from Ludhiana are popular all across India.

Snapdeal has more than 500,000 registered sellers from across India. 

On the buyer's side, the e-commerce market in India is growing not only in size but also in diversity. In 2018, India’s e-commerce heralded the rapid emergence of buyers from India’s Tier 2 & 3 cities. This growth of e-commerce into India’s non-metro cities will accelerate in 2019 and over the next few years for obvious reasons.

On the other hand, Punjab has a very good road network through national highways (NH) which helped us find partners to service 676 pin codes in Punjab. Today, 62% of the population in Punjab lives in rural areas. The bazaars in these small towns and villages have limited products and lack options at all price points. Snapdeal provides access to items from all leading bazaars of India. 

Punjab's per capita income is significantly higher than the national average, making it a great market for us. (Punjab: INR 140872; national: INR 112835)

Value-priced budget phones like iKal K28, GOME C7, Vivo Y91i, electronic accessories especially speakers and headphones, seller branded fashion and everyday home utility items are popular with Snapdeal’s buyers in Punjab. Some of the favorite products of buyers in Punjab are cosmetics, kitchen tools and appliances, headphones, gaming accessories, hard disk, speakers and more. The highest value item sold in Punjab is HP Laptops while some of the low-value items include textbooks, phone holders, and rose, marigold, tomato and cucumber seeds.

Snapdeal is a pure marketplace with options at multiple price points, authentic buyer reviews and ratings from buyers of the product, and an easy to navigate app and website. It has 60 million+ products across 800 categories.

कनेक्ट अगले दो महीनों में पंजाब और चंडीगढ़ में बिछाएगा 2 लाख ऑप्टिकल फाइबर लिंक

By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 27^th Mar, 2019:- भविष्य के लिए तैयार तकनीक, फाइबर टू द होम (एफ.टी.टी.एच.), ऑप्टिकल फाइबर के स्थान पर मौजूदा तांबे के तारों और समाक्षीय केबलों की जगह ग्राहकों को उच्च बैंडविड्थ का स्पष्ट लाभ देता है, जो इंटरनेट, वीडियो और आवाज सेवाओं के लिए उच्च गति को सक्षम बनाता है।

कनेक्ट ने पहले ही राज्य में घरों और व्यवसायों के लिए ऑप्टिकल फाइबर कनेक्टिविटी प्रदान की है, अब अगले चरण में 2 लाख घरों के उधमियों को आकर्षक फ्रैंचाइज़ी मॉडल शेयर की पेशकश की जा रही है।

कनेक्ट पंजाब भर में फाइबर ऑप्टिक्स बिछाने के साथ-साथ अगले दो महीनों में चंडीगढ़ में भी बिछा देगा, एक निवेश मॉडल के साथ जो कि भविष्य का प्रमाण है और एक आकर्षक रिटर्न मॉडल के साथ है।

भारत में केवल 0.5% ऑप्टिकल फाइबर है, जबकि सिंगापुर में 95%, दक्षिण कोरिया में 93% और हांगकांग में 71% है।

जब घरों में मनोरंजन को प्राइम वीडियो, नेटफ्लिक्स और यूट्यूब जैसे विभिन्न डिजिटल चैनलों के माध्यम से पेश किया जा रहा है, तो डीएसएल और केबल मोडम बिना बफरिंग के इन्हे चलाने में असमर्थ हैं।

सामान्य डेटा मोडम प्रति सेकंड पांच मेगाबाइट की गति से डाउनलोड होता है (और अपलोड भी धीमा होता है) और वर्तमान फाइबर ऑप्टिक तकनीक प्रति सेकंड 100 मेगाबिट तक दो-तरफा संचरण गति प्रदान कर सकती है।

The present government is committed to providing electricity to un-electrified households by 2019.Solar power sector is one of the thrust areas with government setting an ambitious solar target of 100 GW by the year 2022.

With this mission in mind IPGCL (State Nodal Agency in Delhi), released a tender for solar domestic installation in Delhi recently. ZunRoof Tech, a home tech solar rooftop installer, won this bid and became the lowest priced solar company in the state. The upfront subsidy quoted to any customer will be the lowest ever in Delhi in 2019 and will be provided by ZunRoof - a new milestone for this startup, after the Young Entrepreneur Award by Rajnath Singh, Minister of Home Affairs, Government of India, which was received by ZunRoof’s founder and CEO, Pranesh Chaudhary, last year.

Commenting on the tender bid, Pranesh Choudhary said that this success is an honor to the efforts of our team dedicated to make India go solar, and we look forward to complete the related job with quality, satisfaction and in time.
