PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT, INTERPERSONAL SKILLS & CAREER MANAGEMENT by CSG Krishnamacharyulu & Lalitha Ramakrishnan

"The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but, where he stands at times of challenge & controversy" so said, Martin Luther King Jr,

I believe people are intrinsically good. Life situations sometimes brings out the worst in people. If we need to tackle this kind of a situation, then, sometimes, it is better that we let go of the person, with the same respect they got at the beginning of the relationship.

Essentially, we are as good as our team, hence always build a passionate and empowered team. For any relationship to hold ground, trust is must. The relation must be valued for passion, creativity, and a desire to be part of the group (or organisation)

SUCCESS IS THE PROGRESSIVE REALISATION OF A WORTHY GOAL

"Progressive" - It is a journey, not the destination
"Realisation" - It's an experience. It is a feeling from within and not an outward feeling
"Worthy" - Quality of the 'journey' giving you meaning and 'fulfilment' (from within) and justified.
"Goal" - With a sense of Direction and Purpose without which all above is futile.

Success may mean different thing to different people as it is subjective. It could mean wealth, recognition good health, happiness, good family, peace of mind, etc.

FAILURE is the result of a bag full of excuses for not being able to achieve success and they blame it on luck, fate, external factors, situation, family, providence, etc.

To SUCCEED, all that is required by you is to TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY............... until the GOAL is achieved because impossible means I'M POSSIBLE

Always PLAY to WIN and not to LOSE
LEARN from other's MISTAKES
Always keep the LARGER PICTURE in mind when making a DECISION

More important, always believe YOU CAN!

Indian Economy by Misra. Puri

Sugar Industry-



India has been known as the original home of sugar and sugarcane. Indian mythology supports the above fact as it contains legends showing the origin of sugarcane. India is the second largest producer of sugarcane next to Brazil. Presently, about 4 million hectares of land is under sugarcane with an average yield of 70 tonnes per hectare. Traditional sweeteners Gur & Khandsari are consumed mostly by the rural population in India.

The Government is following a policy of dual prices through which a specified percentage of total production of each sugar factory is procured as levy sugar at notified prices for distribution through the PDS (public distribution system)

In India the minimum economic size is 2,500 tonnes of cane crushed per day (tpcd) as against Thailand where the aqverage plant size is of 10,000 tpcd. with an average of 1,400 tpcd in this country.Thus, we lose out on the conomies of scale and also the small MES makes efficient use of by-products impossible.

India faces the Problem of

• Mounting losses: The arrears due to the farmers has been on the rise owing to the increase in the cost of production over the years and the 'levy' at control prices of 60% to 70% and recently, even upto 90% output to be sold to Government.
• Old machinery: The sugar mills need to be modernised and the replacement of old machinery is long overdue.
• Low sugar recovery; In India the recovery(extraction) rate is 9 to 10% as against the 13-14% Industry average of sugar producing economies and 
• failure to follow a consistent policy: From controlled  rates to partial control to total decontrol the government has never followed any consistent policy.

Food for thought?
