MGNREGA : A key to increase employment in the country - Group Discussion

Group Discussion 06-27-2012 06:40 AM

MGNREGA Mahatma Gandhi National Rural

Employment Guarantee Act, 2005MGNREGA (Also known as NREGA) is the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural

Employment Guarantee Act.

It is said to be the largest welfare program in the world which is run by Government of

India. It was started in August 25, 2005.

PROS according to me:

• This act was enacted to provide a job guarantee to the Rural People in India.

• This act guarantees to provide a minimum 100 days of paid employment every year to an adult member of any family with the minimum wage of approx. 120/day & who

would likely do any unskilled work. (If they didn’t do so, then government will bear

their salaries at their home).

• It has resulted (or expected to result, I would say) in increase in the rural

employment, especially for women.

• People in rural areas now don’t have to wander everywhere to sustain their

livelihood.

• As people working under this scheme are getting fixed wages, so they don’t have to

fear about that & they work towards development of the country.

CONS:

• This act was disparaged by people as it was thought of no effectiveness than other

acts which were running in the system. Every act/effort passed in the favor of people

should not be just enacted & left to float away! It has to be seen that it is carried out

successfully all around.

• Corruption! It is seen that whatever may be the issue in India, corruption is always

the part of it. People say that they are often not paid, fewer wages are paid, they have

to bribe the officer to get a job, their cards are used by other officers, dead people are

also paid, etc… I think corruption is responsible for more than 80% of the failure of

this act.• It is also seen that the quality of work done by the unskilled labor is poor as

compared to any skilled labor. People are not taught any new skills so that they can

improve their quality of work & sustain their work for a longer period.

• And the important one is that despite of such programs migration from rural areas to

urban area is not reduced.

To conclude, I think that this initiative is a better, almost best way to support the

Indian society but people should change their way of thinking & try to support this

development. Corruption should be barred from it. Mentality should be changed. Just

implementing such programs is not enough but they should be supported with

dedication to help people as a social & humanly cause. It will provide a bridge to Indiatowards becoming a Super Power!



MGNREGA - A key to increase employment in the country.

For

- It is a scheme which provides legal guarantee for jobs or employment to the rural

sector of our country.

- There is an increase in the number of people who are willing to do manual work for a

minimum wage which has resulted in an increase in employment.

- It improves the purchasing power of the rural community, encouraging them to do

work.

- Women have also come out and are now consist of more than one-third of the

stipulated force. Further increasing the number of people employed.

- Rural people have shed their fear of coming outside and have started to work towards

the development of the nation as they are getting wages, which is encouraging other

unemployed people to work as well.

Against

- It is criticized as it is thought to be no more effective than the other employment

programs that have been enlisted in the system.

- It has resulted in more corrupt officials which resulted in deficit in the source of

funds.

- This is not effective as it has resulted in poor quality of infrastructure and has an

unintended destructive effect on poverty.

- This scheme doesn’t teach new skills to the unemployed that is necessary for the

development of the country.

- The conditions that are provided to the rural people are not sufficient to lure them toget employed.

Can the return of Narayan Murthy revive Infosys?

Can the return of Narayan Murthy revive Infosys?

Narayan Murthy has made a comeback as executive chairman in Infosys. Is it a

wise move? Will it make a huge difference with Narayan Murthy coming into the

picture?

For:

- With Narayan Murthy’s outstanding leadership abilities and he being the founder of

Infosys, he could revive Infosys

- Because of the experience that they hold along with the time spent in the company,

the stakeholder and the investors have faith in them

- Globally, en number of companies like Apple, Google, and Dell has had their CEO’s

make a successful comeback and has also revived the company be it in terms of finances or in-terms of its policies and reputation. The leadership of the individual is

all that matters

- Murthy’s knowledge in guiding newly established companies will act as an added

advantage to Infosys

Against:

- The IT industry keeps changing every 5 year or so and with Murthy’s comeback at

the age of 60 will not make that much of a difference to Infosys

- It’s not necessary every CEO that makes a comeback is successful in his venture

- With the changing trend in the commercial sector, it is not necessary that Murthy will be able to perform as effectively as he use to do previously

- With the changing trend, Infosys should focus on hiring new CEO which belong to

the latest generation rather than bringing in the old ones.

Conclusion:

- With the changing trend, we should also change our methods of leadership that is the

hour of the need. It is not a wise move by bringing Murthy back into Infosys, rather

they should have brought in somebody who is young and holds a good experience to

revive Infosys.

Burqa clad superhero in Pakistan - A symbol of woman empowerment

Burqa clad superhero in Pakistan - A symbol of woman empowerment

Burqa, a traditional dress of the Muslims to cover their face when in public, has

been recently shown in one of the superhero show to be launched in Pakistan.

For:

- Pakistan is a country, where ruthlessness against females is extensive, and Pakistan

being a male dominated society, if television shows portray a female superhero

combating on behalf of the women would be encouraging for other women as well in

the society

- The cartoon series’ concept is based on the need of girls’ education in countrieswhere education and working women are discouraged as well as disrespected

- Presenting the female superhero with a burqa will go with the country’s tradition and

people will not out rightly reject it

Against:

- The burqa avenger fails to portray the values that a burqa in real depicts

- Since the female superhero is shown wearing a burqa, it will all the more reinforce

this tradition among the young girls and women

- Because of the religious fringe, the position of women is degrading day by day.

- The caricature is anticipated to be a role model for Pakistani girls even the burqa that

the caricature is made to wear embodies the meticulously conflicting role of women's

liberation

- The Caricature signifies the degree to which immoderation and suppression of

women have reached in Pakistan.

Conclusion:

- Although the caricature is made to wear a burqa as per the tradition in

Pakistan, but how effective this cartoon series be on the public is still a question in the

minds of the people. Pakistan being a male dominated country does not allow women

to study and work.

- Even with this cartoon series going how effective it is going to be nobody knows and

will it lead to a positive enforcement or a negative is yet to be discovered.

Bollywood divas working with new stars



Nupur 08-23-2013 11:28 PM



Bollywood divas working with new stars- female actors have realised their ability to hit the box office bull’s-eye

The time has gone when you needed a backing of ‘khan’ surname to make a

debutant entry into Bollywood. Today is the time of equality; female actors too

hold a strong and demanding position in today’s time and can enter Bollywood

with their talent.

For:

- With the help of new male co-stars, the female actors are creating a market space

which completely belongs to them.

- ‘Khans’ being talented and with the experience they hold, eat up all the lime light

and the credit which is to be shared with the females as well, with this kind of culturenew talent will get to carve their own space as well as the female actors will also gain

recognition of their work

- The directors will also have a large pool of actors in front of them, and hence will

give them a choice to whom they want to work with

- New talent will be encouraged not only for actors but also for directors

Against:

- With the Khans acting in movies, it helps Bollywood earning serious money evenwhen the market is low

- When the public is used to seeing some or the other khan in movies, the expectation

are high amongst the public and it becomes all the more difficult for new actors to

make a mark in the industry

- If new talent gets a chance to be introduced into the Bollywood market with either of

the khans, they attract fame easily and can set a benchmark for the others

- It is also easier for them to get more projects in the future

- Working with the Khans also brings you some instant international limelight as well

which alone becomes a little difficult as well as it takes time.

Conclusion:

- As it is rightly said “Old is Gold”. The Khan’s have made a name in the market with

their experience. You cannot deny the fact that success becomes comparatively easier

for those who are paired against them

- But yes, actors who have already marked or entered the industry need not necessarily

act with just them; they should feel encouraged to work with new talent as well.



India is a regressive and depressing country for women.

Nupur 08-23-2013 11:22 PM



India is a regressive and depressing country for women.

“India is a regressive and depressing country for women”, has recently cited by

Mallika Sherawat in one of her interviews. We are currently in the 21st century,

but has the status of women really changed, or are we still sailing in the same

boat?

For:

- Today with the changing time, we see more and more women becoming independent

- Single mothers conquering acceptance and status in the society

- We can see more and more women leaders in each and every sector, for instance,

politics, media, sports, art and culture, service sector

- The ratio of educated women is increasing, which gives them the courage to fight

against the oppression by the men

Against:

- Although we being in the 21st century, yet women has not attained that stature in

India which she is worthy of,

- Crime against women is increasing day by day

- Women still do not share an equal status with men

- Child marriages are still common in rural areas

- Female Foeticide – is still a common problem not only in the rural areas but also

urban cities

- In terms of literacy rate, today also males are given priority in contrast to female

literacy rate

- Significant decisions of women’s life are yet taken either by the father or the husband

- Disrespect and disregard still persists in the society

Conclusion:

- As it is rightly said, “Rome was not built in a day”, it will take some time for the

status of women to change in India as well

- The change has already begun, its slow but it’s changing



Hard work or Smart work - Which is important?

Rajani Sharma 01-9-2012 01:33 AM

Work is important to do as it takes us to the next level of success. The most important

question you should ask at this place is what kind of work will take you to that level: is

it hard work or smart work.

For

- Smart work is really the need of the hour.

- Smart work saves lots of time and allows you to be more organized.

- Through smart work your goals can be reached faster.

- Doing smart work allows you to save time for other things which you might not get

by doing hard work like, exercise, spending time with family etc.

- Smart work brings lots of recognition from the society and allows you to grow more

in the industry you are in.

Against

- Hard work takes lots of time just to make things correct.



- It is totally time consuming and exhausting experience, as after doing lots of work

you left out with less energy to do anything else.

- Hard work doesn't allow you to fully use your brain and it pushes you for more

physical work.

- In terms of determination and persistence hard work is really important but not lot

can be achieved.- Working hard is not enough as it might not bring the best result of a problem or a

situation.

I would like to conclude in the end that smart work is really important as it saves time

and allows you to reach your goals faster than that of a hard work.

corruption leads to the deterioration of our economy. and ofcourse this is not

acceptable for a good citizen. we have to throw it out. about 62% indians are

corrupted thru out the country.

Mark Twain once said that corruption is like weather. everyone knws bou it bt no one

can do anythng bou it. but we have to protect ourselves jus as we protect ourselves

from diff weathers. we have to create good people more in ratio than corrupted people

to make our govt corruption free. n then we can become a developed country.

As pollution and population, corruption become a new headache to our country.

though there is no solution "balm" for such a headache, and we the aam-aadmis arefacing the main problem. A formerly studious and meritorious student didnt get a job

if his father is out of his pocket. Nowadays in India there is no one to praise, but

hidden to press for money. As per latest news in India approximately 63% Indians are

corrupted. The corrupted father should know that their sons are being corrupted from

them and in future if the man goes to the department his son may raise his left hand

for the solution he is seeking for.

At last I'll say, though I know no one will care for it, "NO! I am Indian. I'm proud I'm

Indian. I'll stand my country first not for CORRUPTION, but as INCREDIBLE

amongst the incredibles for a fresh one in mind."

RE: Corruption

venkata Radhika 11-27-2012 08:57 PM



corruption is spiritual or moral impurity or deviation from an ideal. Corruption entails

many forms including bribery and embezzlement. Government corruption occurs

when an elected representative makes decisions that are influenced by vested interest

rather than their own personal or party ideological beliefs.

Corruption can occur on many different scales. There is corruption that occurs as

small favours between a small number of people (petty corruption), while there is thecorruption that affects the government on a large scale (grand corruption), and

corruption that is so prevalent that it is part of the every day structure of society

(systemic corruption).

Government/ Public Sector

Public sector corruption is one of the more dangerous forms of corruption as

corruption of the governing body can lead to widespread effects.

Legislative System (Political)

Political corruption is the abuse of public power, office, or resources by elected

government officials for personal gain, e.g. by extortion, soliciting or offering

bribes[6] It can also take the form of office holders maintaining themselves in office

by purchasing votes by enacting laws which use taxpayers' money.[7]Executive System (Police)

Police corruption is a specific form of police misconduct designed to obtain financial

benefits, other personal gain, and/or career advancement for a police officer or

officers in exchange for not pursuing, or selectively pursuing, an investigation or

arrest. One common form of police corruption is soliciting and/or accepting bribes in

exchange for not reporting organized drug or prostitution rings or other illegal

activities. Another example is police officers flouting the police code of conduct in

order to secure convictions of suspects — for example, through the use of falsified

evidence. More rarely, police officers may deliberately and systematically participate

in organized crime themselves. In most major cities, there are internal affairs sections

to investigate suspected police corruption or misconduct. Similar entities include the

British Independent Police Complaints Commission.

Judiciary System

Judicial Corruption refers to corruption related misconduct of judges, through

receiving or giving bribes, improper sentencing of convicted criminals, bias in the

hearing and judgement of arguments and other such misconduct.

Governmental corruption of judiciary is broadly known in many transitional and

developing countries because the budget is almost completely controlled by the

executive. The latter undermines the separation of powers, as it creates a critical

financial dependence of the judiciary. The proper national wealth distribution

including the government spending on the judiciary is subject of the constitutionaleconomics.

It is important to distinguish between the two methods of corruption of the judiciary:

the government (through budget planning and various privileges), and the private.[8]

Corporate

As corporations and business entities grow larger, sometimes with a monetary

turnover many times that of small countries, the threat of corruption in the business

world, within the organisation, in dealings with other organisations and in dealings

with the government is a looming and growing threat.[citation needed]Companies

may indulge in political corruption.

Unions

Labour unions were formed to protect and further the rights of employees viacollective bargaining. However, as with other entities, corruption has been known to



happen within the organisations. In addition, some unions have been infiltrated by, or

associated with organised crime syndicates.

Non-Government Organisations

NGOs and other non-profit organisations are not immune to corruption and may be

linked to political corruption.

Different Methods of corruptionBribery

Embezzlement, Theft and Fraud

Extortion and Blackmail

Abuse of Discretion

Favouritism, Nepotism and Clientelism

Improper Political Contributions
