Rahul Gandhi: PM, Crimes against women rise
@RahulGandhi:While our PM tiptoes around his garden making Yoga videos, India leads Afghanistan, Syria & Saudi Arabia in rape & violence against women. What a shame for our country!
Rahul Gandhi was referring to a poll which said that India is the world’s most dangerous country for women due to the high risk of sexual violence and being forced into slave labor.
The poll of global experts released on Tuesday said that war-torn Afghanistan and Syria ranked second and third in the Thomson Reuters Foundation survey of about 550 experts on women’s issues, followed by Somalia and Saudi Arabia.
The only Western nation in the top 10 was the United States, which ranked joint third when respondents were asked where women were most at risk of sexual violence, harassment and being coerced into sex.The poll was a repeat of a survey in 2011 that found experts saw Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, India, and Somalia as the most dangerous countries for women.
Rahul’s reference to the PM tiptoeing making yoga videos is a reference to the fitness challenge that the PM shared this month.
The Prime Minister accepting Virat Kohli’s fitness challenge uploaded a video saying, “Here are moments from my morning exercises. Apart from Yoga, I walk on a track inspired by the Panchtatvas or 5 elements of nature – Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu, Aakash. This is extremely refreshing and rejuvenating. I also practice breathing exercises. #HumFitTohIndiaFit. I appeal to every Indian to devote some part of the day towards fitness. Practice any set of exercises you are comfortable with and you will see the positive difference it will make in your life! #FitnessChallenge #HumFitTohIndiaFit.”
Opposition, Politics & Economy in 1975 vs OPE in 2018
June26, 2018 (C) Ravinder Singh progressindia2015@gmail.com
Times have changed completely. Of the 90% of the opposition which pulled down Indira Gandhi in 1975-77 is behind Congress today – supported Manmohan Singh through 2004-2014 two terms. But it is unfortunate Rahul Gandhi, Congress President who aspires to be Prime Minister of India go in hiding for days when Congress comes under attack and blamed for all the mess in India. My focus is mainly on economic policies of 1975.
Nehru-Indira era many times more Tractors were made in 1975 than cars. Around Delhi there were Escorts, Ford, Eicher, HMT, and in South International, Ferguson Tractor Factories, many more had License like David Brown but no resources.
In 1975 an IAS Officer was paid Rs.700/- basic pay but Textile or Organized workers were paid Rs.7,000 per month. Except Reputed Companies and Multinationals workers are paid about Rs.5,000 per month, IAS get 20 times more plus Housing & Cars and perks.
1975 Economic Policy was of Self Reliance, Importing Food for People under PL 480 was considered morally wrong – Opposition would oppose all imports.
2018 Indian IMPORTS EXCEED $500b – including FOODS – Pulses & Oils.
L&T was building Power Equipment, BHEL Boilers and Power Plants, ABB Turbines and Hydro Power, Railway Coaches, Philips Electronics, Lighting, IBM Computers, India was building own Nuclear Reactors, Kirloskar was making Diesel Engines, 1000s of Large & Small dams, Canals had already been built. Indian Railways was backbone of Goods and Passenger Transport – IR was Switching from Steam to Diesel and to Electric Locos all built in India. Steel Tubes, Wires, B&W Television Sets were made. High Yield seeds were introduced in 1966 and Green Revolution was underway, IITs existed for over two decades. Healthcare, Education was 95% in Government control. Coal, Steel, Cement, Sugar and Metals were Large Scale industries. Tata was building Trucks, Operating Hotels, making Steel and so many Industrial goods and Chemicals. India had NESTLE, LEVERS, COCA COLA & IBM & 1000 more Foreign Companies–210 MW Unit Size Thermal Power Plants were introduced – 500 MW Unit size was being developed by BHEL.
Banks were nationalized and served PRIORITY sector Farmers, Industry and Government Projects. There was Planned Investment in all regions – Refineries and Fertilizer factories were build across India as an example. When Bhakra Dam was built in 1965, Hirakud in Orissa, Ukai in Gujarat, Koyna in Maharashtra, Idduki in Kerala, Rihand in UP, thousands were also built all over India. LPG supply was already introduced before 1974.
Nasbandi in India was Opposed in 1975 – China introduced SINGLE Child policy. Indian population could have been limited to 60 crores may exceed 180 crore in 2050.
After 1975 India Lost Development Focus – Didn’t Support Core Industries.

Panasonic in sojourn lodging business
Airbnb was forced to purge 62Ks of its Japan listings, people in new task of sojourn leasing has inks arrangement to apartments and homes for short-term rental thus adds new wave of business in hospitality sector with lending periodically.
Panasonic decides to move into the home sharing business to bring more financial strength to its capital and turnover. Panasonic has has earlier sold its real state associated business. The sojourn lodging business is with the advent of online and digital, smart phones are to cater low price lodges, apartment houses located in two tier cities and two stars or lower ranks hotels have decimated. With executive move across multiple cities look for better or best accommodation for their comfort in business.
Panasonic will enter the lodging business, undertaking everything from design to construction and operation of guest apartments as it seeks to ride the home-share wave in Japan.
The Japanese conglomerate best know for home appliances sees demand for affordable lodging growing in the wake of a home-sharing law that took effect on June 15. Subsidiary Panasonic Homes will start by erecting about 10 buildings in the initial year in Tokyo and Osaka, expecting to generate 5 billion yen ($45.66 million) in sales.
The accommodations will feature Panasonic appliances, including their popular women’s beauty products, allowing the rooms to act as showrooms for foreign visitors.
Though the building will be located in city centers, rooms will be priced at around 5,000 yen per person per night, which is cheaper than hotels. Each room will be about 40 sq. meters in size, capable of fitting four to five people.
Panasonic, through a group company, will borrow the buildings from landowners on 30-year leases. Panasonic will recoup construction costs from the property owners and get a roughly 10% cut of the lodging fees.
Panasonic will contract home-share websites Hyakusenrenma and Squeeze to operate the properties. The business will be conducted under a law that governs simple lodgings.
Panasonic has already has experience managing roughly 100 facilities such as nursing homes and now plans to bring that expertise to Japan’s nascent home-sharing sector. Depending on demand, the units will be converted into conventional rental properties after a decade of use.
The Japanese government estimates the country will draw 60 million travelers in 2030, or more than double the number for 2017. If a portion of that multitude enjoys the Panasonic appliances during their stay in Japan, that could lead to improved sales internationally.
With non-real-estate companies like Panasonic and travel agency JTB entering the lodging business, the number of registered locations is projected to spike in the medium to long term.

GNT-B&T and TSPC inks
Taiwan’s GNT Biotech & Medicals recently announced that it has granted exclusive sales and marketing rights of anticancer drug Chidamide to pharmaceutical distribution company Taiwan Specialty Pharma Corp. (TSPC) for two indications; hormone receptor-positive, HER-2 negative late stage breast cancer in post-menopausal patients; and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in Taiwan.
The licensing agreement includes upfront and milestone payments of up to NT$30 million (approx $1million), with royalties from sales to be awarded separately.
GNTbm also announced that it had already begun its Phase III clinical trial for Chidamide when administered together with exemestane (Aromasin), an aromatase inhibitor, for the treatment of late stage breast cancer after receiving approval in 2017 for the trial by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA). The trial in six medical centers in Taiwan is being conducted in collaboration with Chipscreen Biosciences Ltd., of Shenzhen, China, using the same clinical trial protocol as its Phase III trial for the same drug combination in China.
Chidamide, a new generation of epigenetic regulator and subtype-selective HDAC inhibitor, was originally developed by Chipscreen Biosciences in 2003.
The first approved indication of Chidamide was the rare disease refractory/recurrent peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Chipscreen Biosciences received China FDA (CFDA) approval for treatment of this condition in Chinain December 2014.To date, more than 4,000 patients with PTCL have been treated with Chidamide.
GNTbm is expected to submit an NDA to the TFDA for PTCL in 2019, and hopes to receive market approval sometime in 2020. The second indication for Chidamide is in combination with Aromasin for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive, HER-2 negative late stage breast cancer in post-menopausal patients.
Dr. Chia-Nan (Alex) Chen, Chairman of GNTbm, stated that GNTbm had in-licensed Chidamide with the intent to invest in the development of new indications through locally-conducted clinical trials, and also intend to produce the API for this drug locally. The company will invest large sums of money and manpower to do so, he said.
“We will partner with local drug companies Formosa Laboratories and Sinphar Pharmaceutical to manufacture the API and for formulation, respectively,” said Chen.
“We are very pleased to choose Taiwan Specialty Pharma Corp. (TSPC) as our sales partner in Taiwan. TSPC has many years of experience in pharmaceutical sales and marketing, especially in treatments for rare diseases, and in particular blood cancer. GNTbm and TSPC are very optimistic about the sale of Chidamide for peripheral T-cell lymphoma and advanced breast cancer patients in Taiwan,” added Chen.

Mohit Raina all set to make his Bollywood debut.
TV actor Mohit Raina all set to make his Bollywood debut.
Actor Mohit Raina who is popular as Mahadev on the mythological show, Devon Ke Dev – Mahadev, is all set to make his debut in Bollywood with an upcoming film, URI.
The actor will play an Indian Army Officer in the film. Incidentally, Mohit has just wrapped up the shoot of his TV show, ‘Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897’ (the story of 21 valiant soldiers, who fought more than 10,000 Afghan intruders).
Talking about his love for the patriotic genre he says, ” It was my dream to join the Indian Army. Since that never got fulfilled, I make up for it by playing a soldier whenever I get a chance. Also, I have always taken up challenging roles on television. So, though I love commercial films, I wanted something different for my film debut as well. ‘Uri’ has actors like Vicky Kaushal and Paresh Rawal, and it will be a learning experience working with them. Whether it is mythology, history or any other genre, the role has to be backed by strong content.”
While speaking about the film he adds, “Nation always comes first, and I feel that it is a great opportunity to be part of a film that portrays the incident.”
URI directed by Aditya Dhar also stars Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, Kirti Kulhari and Paresh Rawal.
IFAD’s External Relations and Governance chief in China to visit rural families
IFAD’s External Relations and Governance chief in China to visit rural families and meet with senior officials
Beijing, 26 June 2018 – Charlotte Salford, Associate Vice-President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), is in China this week to meet with senior officials of the government, partners from the private sector as well as participants in IFAD-supported projects. IFAD is a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to eradicating rural poverty in developing countries.
Though China has drastically reduced poverty over the last 40 years, according to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, some 30 million people in rural areas are still living below the poverty line. They often live in remote areas with few options to improve their incomes and living conditions.
“IFAD can play a central role in supporting China’s efforts to eradicate rural poverty by 2020, while also ensuring that smallholders can benefit from the process of rural transformation and agricultural modernization,” said Salford, who oversees IFAD’s External Relations and Governance Department. “IFAD and China share a commitment to replicate and expand upon what works for rural communities, and to ensure that our consolidated knowledge can better inform policymaking through South-South and Triangular Cooperation.”
While in Beijing, the IFAD Associate Vice-President will participate in the first Global Bamboo and Rattan International Conference organized by the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation and the State Forestry Administration of China to explore how these strategic resources can be further utilized for sustainable development.
In addition, Salford will attend meetings at the Ministry of Finance, the State Council’s Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development, the International Poverty Reduction Center of China, and the Foreign Economic Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to discuss ongoing IFAD-China collaboration, and particularly South–South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC).
The delegation also will visit rural families who are a part of the IFAD-funded Jiangxi Mountainous Area Agribusiness Promotion Project. The project aims to increase farmer revenues by improving linkages to markets and providing them with access to credit, and management and business training.
IFAD recently established an office in Beijing as one of its regional SSTC Centers to further strengthen its work with rural development partners in China, and to collect and share information and best practices.
Since 1981, IFAD has supported 30 rural development projects in China, investing more than US$934 million and reaching almost 4.5 million rural families. IFAD-supported projects focus on enhancing income opportunities through improving rural people’s access to markets, strengthening value chains and promoting more inclusive financial services.
