What India e-commerce policy entails for online retailers 4 min read   .   Updated: 16 Jan 2019, 08:05 AM IST Asit Ranjan Mishra The new rules for FDI in e-commerce, to be implemented from 1 February, could throw a spanner in India's thriving online retail sector. In a speech at the All India Traders Convention on 27 February 2014 ahead of the general election, Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi surprised everybody by not playing to the gallery. “I don’t know whether I will gain politically or not by saying this," Modi told an audience full of traders, his party’s core vote bank. “Whether you like it or not, we need not be afraid of the global challenges in the business world. We should convert this to opportunity. We should not think that ‘if online trade comes, we will be finished’. You should demand (of) the government how to increase your capability to meet this new global challenge rather than telling the government, ‘shut down o...

कुलपतियों की नियुक्ति: कितना गिरा है स्तर? रेहान फ़ज़ल बीबीसी संवाददाता, दिल्ली  गुरुवार, 17 अक्तूबर, 2013 को 07:25 IST तक के समाचार साल 1947 में पूरे भारत में कुल 27 विश्वविद्यालय हुआ करते थे. अब उनकी संख्या बढ़ कर 560 के पार पहुंच चुकी है. लेकिन हर निष्पक्ष विश्लेषक की राय है कि इन सालों में भारतीय विश्वविद्यालयों की संख्या जरूर बढ़ी लेकिन कुलपतियों के स्तर में भारी गिरावट आई. आजकल सर आशुतोष मुखर्जी, सर्वपल्ली राधाकृष्णन, सीआर रेड्डी और लक्ष्मणस्वामी मुदालियार के स्तर का एक भी वाइस चांसलर ढूंढने से भी नहीं मिलता. सच ये है कि तथाकथित ‘सर्च कमेटियों’ के अस्तित्व में होने के बाद भी अधिकतर कुलपतियों के चयन का आधार मेरिट न हो कर राजनीतिक पहुंच, जाति या समुदाय हो गया है. यह कहना ग़लत न होगा कि कुलपतियों की नियुक्ति सत्ताधारी दलों के राजनीतिक हितों को साधने के लिए की जाती है. इन दिनों एक नया चलन भी देखने में आ रहा है कि वीसी के पद के लिए रिटायर्ड सैन्य या प्रशासनिक अधिकारियों को तरजीह दी जाने लगी है, ख़ासकर केंद्रीय विश्वविद्यालयों में. फौजियों का दबदबा पिछले स...
