Wanted Review
Wanted Review
Cast: James McAvoy , Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie
Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Genre: Action, Drama, Thriller
Review: Wanted
Anupama Chopra, Consulting Editor, Films
Wanted is the ultimate male fantasy. A mousy office accountant, played by James McVoy, lives a meek, miserable life. At work, his fat boss brutalises him and at home, his girlfriend, who happens to be sleeping with his friend, nags him.
He tells us that the only thing he cares about is the fact that he doesn't care about anything.
And then one day, Angelina Jolie, shows up and informs him that his father was one of the greatest assassins who ever lived and now he must continue the legacy.
Our accountant, trained by a thousand-year-old fraternity of assassins, then transforms into a buffed-up, kick-ass killer and he even gets to lock lips with the divine Ms Jolie who looks like she has descended from some superior race of beings.
As I watched her, all sexy smirk and tattoos, I thought: She's definitely not one of us.
Wanted is the Hollywood debut of Russian film director Timur Bekmambetov, who earlier created the vampire blockbusters Day Watch and Night Watch.
This film also features hypnotic action, a propulsive pace and stunning images. You might think you've seen every kind of movie violence there is but have you ever seen a bullet exit slowly from a man's forehead and watched how the blood curls up behind.
Bekmambetov's audacity and imagination propel the first half hour of the film but beyond a point, the style cannot disguise the silliness. The film originates from a comic-book series so we're not expecting subtext or nuances but the plot twists here require you to check-in logic at the gate.
By the time, Morgan Freeman, in yet another God-type role, pointed at a giant loom and declared: this is the loom of fate, I was laughing out loud.
Wanted is giddy on guns, violence and adolescent machismo. For a certain demographic - men under 25 - its manna from heaven but the rest of us can do quite nicely without it.

Chamku (Hindi) : Cast: Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan Khan, Ninad Kamath
ShubraGupta
Cast: Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan Khan, Ninad Kamath
Director: Kabeer Kaushik
Chandrama Singh urf Chamku sees his father shot in the head right in front of his eyes. From that moment on, he is a fugitive, and a target — both of those who break the law with impunity, and those who make those laws.
Kabeer Kaushik, who comes to his second film after the wonderful but unsuccessful Sehar, clearly isn’t following his instincts which tell him to be faithful to the spirit of his story. Chamku is produced by Sunny Deol, who’s been in desperate search of a hit for a long time now.
And it has his young brother in the lead, which translates into compromised story-telling. Bobby is meant to play an illiterate Naxalite, on the run from the dark interiors of Bihar, but his real self — suave, urban — keeps coming through.
If it had built on its terrific opening, Chamku may have been the film the director had set out to make. But it peters away into predictable patterns: a Bobby practising menace, a painted Priyanka, the Irrfan-Ninad duo trying to keep things moving, and too much gratuitous blood-letting.

Olympic heroes' names missing in invitation

Delhi's Sushil Kumar, who won bronze in wrestling, and sportspersons Saina Nehwal and wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt would also be honoured with cash reward varying between Rs 25 lakh and Rs 50 lakh.

C KKompany Movie Review
C KKompany Movie Review
Director : Sachin Yardi
Music : Anand Raj Anand and Bappa Lahiri
Lyrics : Anand Raj Anand and Shabbir Ahmed
Starring : Mithun Chakraborty, Tussshar Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Raima Sen, Ekta Kapoor, Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt
By Martin D'Souza, Bollywood Trade News Network
Probably upset at various producers and directors taking pot shots at her serials, Ekta Kapoor decided who better than herself to do justice to running down her very own serials and the way Balaji Studios function. While its good humour, just like a few Laughter Challenge contestants who have the innate ability to laugh at themselves, and make others laugh as well, you can't take this 'serial reference' beyond a point.
There are quite a few laughable scenes but overall, it's a colossal waste of talent. Tushar Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Rajpal Yadav all live in the C wing of a particular building. They bond well and share each other's problems. To teach Anupam's son a lesson, the trio decide to make an extortion call using a gangsters name. And before you know it, they go on to form their own 'C Kkompany' making threat calls, mostly to help citizens get their due.
Tushar delivers a few punch lines with elan while Rajpal Yadav is his humourous best. I just get the feeling he has taken over Johnny Lever's vacant slot, because the veteran is nowhere to be seen. As for Anupam Kher, he saunters into yet another insipid role. Mithun Chakraborty too makes his presence felt in a role reminiscent to that of the recently released DON MUTHUSWAMY. But while DON MUTHUSWAMY had some meat, this one here is downright silly. A hackneyed plot and a waste of Raima Sen as well.
While his cousin Abhishek Kapoor has directed the successful ROCK ON, which incidentally released on the same day, Tushar will have to wait another day for another script...

KK Birla: A titan of Indian industry
KK Birla: A titan of Indian industry
NEW DELHI: Legendary industrialist Krishna Kumar Birla was a man of many facets, with an equal passion for not just expanding his well-known, and much respected, business empire founded by his father, but also towards philanthropy and education.
Birla was for long considered the force behind the Indian sugar industry, which he joined as a 22-year-old. Besides media and sugar, his empire spans some 40 firms in fertilizers, chemicals, heavy engineering, textiles and shipping.
The companies include Zuari Industries, Chambal Fertlizers, Paradeep Phosphates, Sutlej Industries, Birla Textile Mills, Oudh Sugar Mills, Texmaco, Simon India, India Steamship, ISG Novasoft, and Hindustan Times Media.
In his innings at the helm of Indian industry, he also headed several institutions like the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci), the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) and the International Chambers of Commerce (ICC).
"He was an outstanding visionary, a great parliamentarian, a business leader par excellence and a builder of modern educational and scientific institutions," said Ficci president and Rajya Sabha member Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
Born in Pilani in Rajasthan on Oct 12, 1918, he was the person responsible for building and expanding the reputed Birla Institute of Science and Technology - which has often been rated on par with the Indian Institute of Technology.
He was the eldest surviving son of industrialist Ghanshyam Das Birla.
Along with another legendary second-generation industrialist, late JRD. Tata, Birla had co-authored what is called the “Bombay Plan” that outlined the role of businesses and the government in building a nation.
The seeds of corporate social responsibility in India were sown in that document which also spoke about the role of industries, entrepreneurs and policy makers in modernising and developing what was then a backward India.
He also had an equal passion for charity. It is not, therefore, surprising that the landmark Lakshmi Narayan temple in the capital - visited by hundreds every day - is also referred to as Birla Mandir.
A former member of the Rajya Sabha for 18 consecutive years, KK Babu, as he was referred to by his associates and admirers, was also the chair of the Hindustan Times group, which is one of the largest circulated national dailies.
The stylish and well-groomed industrialist, whose suits and shirts came from London's Jermyn Street and Saville Row, also wrote highly readable reminiscences on his many foreign travels with his wife for the Hindustan Times till about a month ago.
His close associates said he just could not bear the separation from his wife Manorama Devi who died in Kolkata July 29. He is survived by daughters Nandini Nupani, Saroj Potddar and Shobhana Bhartia, the vice chair of Hindustan Times.
Birla was so comfortable with change and transformation that even when the country started the ambitious economic liberalisation programme in the early 1990s and dispensed with the regime of licences and quotas, he was fully supportive - unlike many others who even formed an informal anti-liberalisation lobby group called the "Bombay Club".
“There were many business leaders who were worried, who were apprehensive, who were nervous about the changes,” recollected Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who as India's finance minister then was the architect of the reforms programme.
“But Birla understood the importance and the relevance of what we were doing and I valued his support then as I value it now,” Manmohan Singh recalled last December, while releasing Birla's autobiography - “Brushes with History”.
The book, published by Penguin, has vignettes of his relations with some legendary Indians like Mahatma Gandhi, Rajendra Prasad, Madan Mohan Malaviya, Jayaprakash Narayan and Morarji Desai.
Penguin said Birla inherited a legacy in which the creation of wealth, philanthropy and political leadership were all regarded as part of nation-building.
“Spiritual strength and moral values were part of the personal credo.”

Iron Maiden Mumbai - Iron Maiden storms Mumbai
Iron Maiden Mumbai - Iron Maiden storms Mumbai
February 04, 2008 13:48 IST
Veteran heavy metal band Iron Maiden left the MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai with a taste of hardcore live action on February 1.
The first stop on their 'Somewhere Back in Time' World Tour 2008 saw thousands of excited Indian fans waiting expectantly from 4 pm onward -- two in every three wearing Iron Maiden t-shirts. Besides the usual pack of youngsters, there were plenty of excited 10-year-olds and borderline senior citizens making the scene as well.
Several were actually overheard wishing that the tickets had been slightly pricier, so that they could have gotten up-close to their idols!
By 7 pm, everyone had already packed themselves into the two enclosures, so there was slim chance of making your way up front. Local rockers Parikrama opened the show and it was only at 8 pm that the lights dimmed and a recorded speech by Winston Churchill, the prelude to Iron Maiden's hit Aces High, drove the crowd wild.
This first performance was sufficient to charge the atmosphere -- what followed was sheer mayhem, with backdrops to the massive stage, all featuring the band's gory mascot Eddie, continually changing and all six band members performing at their electrifying best.
The audience was privileged to hear some of the band's greatest hits, some of which singer Bruce Dickinson himself declared they have not performed live in years -- songs like Wasted Years, The Trooper, Can I Play With Madness, Fear of the Dark, Moonchild, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Two Minutes to Midnight and Powerslave had fans eating out of their hands.
As the band belted out song after song, it was easy to forget that all the Iron Maiden members are well into their 50's. The energy onstage was palpable as Dickinson ran to and fro across the stage, his trademark screeches interspersing mind-numbing guitar solos by 'the country club', as he himself jokingly calls the band's trio of guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers. Bassist and founding member Steve Harris was also a livewire on stage and while drummer Nicko McBrain's dexterity had spectators in awe, his smiling performance endeared him to them.
The pinnacle of enthusiasm was reached, however, when the band took off on the song Iron Maiden from their first self-titled album and the seventh member of the group, mascot Eddie made his way on to the stage. The 12-foot robot dwarfed the band members as his lit-up eye and menacing snarl surveyed the audience, one arm wielding a dummy rifle pointed at hundreds of bobbing heads in the crowd.
After two solid hours of playing, Iron Maiden finally bade Mumbai a fond farewell, with a promise to be back soon. All in all, everyone who came to see the band perform got more than their money's worth. "Scream for me, Mumbai!' yelled Dickinson one last time, as he made ready to leave the stage. And they did.

LimeWire Store to get more DRM free music content
LimeWire has announced that they are in the process of adding more content to their DRM free digital media store.
They are now collaborating with independent music distributor The Orchard. This deal would add on 1.2 million tracks to LimeWire.
With this the company would have around 2 million tracks on offer to their customers.
LimeWire CFO Jesse Rubenfeld spoke about this deal: “The Orchard’s top flight, broad and diverse music repertoire will enrich our users’ music-buying experience. I believe this partnership will help expand the digital music market for us and will equally benefit our artist and label partners.”
However, the company is yet to get into a deal with any of the major music retailers. Until that happens, they are going to remain a smaller player in the market.

Sixth pay commission notification: Govt brings out notification for Sixth pay commission report
Sixth pay commission notification: Govt brings out notification for Sixth pay commission report
NEW DELHIOver 50 lakh government employees, including the armed forces personnel, will be receiving an enhanced pay packet beginning September 1, with the government today notifying the revised recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission (CPC).
The much-awaited CPC proposals had received a seal of approval from the union cabinet a fortnight ago after it amended certain recommendations of the Justice Sri Krishna-led Pay Commission that submitted its report to the government on March 24 this year.
The CPC recommendations and the subsequent government decision with regard to revised scales of pay and dearness allowance for civilian employees of the central government would be made retrospectively effective from January 1, 2006, the notification said.
However, the revised allowances, other than dearness allowance, would be effective only from September 1 this year. On payment of arrears, the government has modified to the extent that the arrears would be paid in cash in two installments - first installment of 40 per cent this financial year (2008-09) and the remaining 60 per cent in the next financial year (2009-10).
The government has approved the setting up of a committee to examine individual, post-specific and cadre-specific anomalies. The committee should try to complete the work in one year, the notification said.
Providing for post-notification changes in the CPC report, the government said "the department specific recommendations" will be processed by concerned departments and ministries and approval of the government obtained in consultations with the Finance Ministry or Department of Personnel and Training.

Sixth Pay Commission: Govt removes Bajaj as wage committee chairman
LUCKNOW: The government in a decision taken here on Friday removed JL Bajaj, who was appointed chairman of the wage committee to review recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, and in his place appointed SAT Rizvi, a retired IAS officer.
It may be mentioned, UP Adhikaari Mahasangh , an apex organisation of state cadre officers, at its meeting held here recently had expressed strong resentment over the government's decision to appoint Bajaj, a retired IAS officer as chairman of the wage committee .
Besides Mahasangh, even UP Engineers' Association had raised objection over Bajaj's appointment alleging that being chairman of the review committee of the Fifth Pay Commission , Bajajhad not done justice to the officers recommending abolition of several allowances recommended by the Fifth Pay Commission and had even recommended the abolition of time-bound pay scale being given to the officers.
Meanwhile, general secretary of State Employees' Joint Council (SEJC) Ramji Awasthi has hailed CM Mayawati's decision to remove Bajaj and in his place appointing Rizvi as chairman of the committee.
He has urged the CM to direct the new chairman of the committee to present the report within three months so that no delay was caused in implementing the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission.

Sixth Pay Commission: No raise in retirement age
LUCKNOW: The government has refuted news published in a section of the media regarding increase in retirement age of state employees from 60 to 62 years.
Terming the news as baseless and misleading, a government spokesperson said that UP government was the first state government which had accepted the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission despite its financial constraints and implemented them keeping in view the difficulties of the employees in the face of spiralling prices.
The spokesperson said that since the government was also committed to safeguarding the interests of the younger generation and unemployed people, an increase in retirement age of state employees would block employment opportunities for the youth.
Therefore, there was no proposal before the government to increase the retirement age of state employees, he added.

New Delhi, Aug 30, 2008: Finally Sixth Pay Commission has been implemented by the government as it issued notification with some significant changes. The government has improved significantly over the original draft presented by the 6th pay panel.
The central government employees were fearful that the government may accept reducing gazetted holidays to just three as suggested by the pay panel. Luckily for the central government employees the central government has turned down the proposal.
It is probably because of the anticipated backlash from 5.5 central government employees that government turned downed the proposal.

With regard to fixation of pay in the revised pay bands, the basic pay drawn as on 1.1.2006 on the existing fifth CPC pay scales will be multiplied by a factor of 1.86 and then rounded off to next multiple of 10.

Companies bill 2008 gets the nod of Union Cabinet (pib.nic.in)
USHERS IN AN ERA OF COMPACT CORPORATE LEGISLATION AND SHAREHOLDER DEMOCRACY
19:36 IST
The Union cabinet today gave its nod for the introduction of the Companies Bill 2008 in the next session of Parliament to replace the existing Companies Act, 1956 by incorporating far-reaching changes. The proposed Bill seeks to enable the corporate sector in India to operate in a regulatory environment of best international practices so that entrepreneurship, investment and growth are encouraged. It calls for shareholder democracy with protection of the rights of minority stakeholders. The Bill provides right to Shareholder Associations/Group of Shareholders to take legal action in case of any fraudulent deed on the part of a company and also to take part in investor protection activities and 'Class Action Suits'. It provides for Special Courts to deal with corporate offences. Company matters such as mergers and amalgamations, reduction of capital, insolvency including rehabilitation, liquidations and winding up are proposed to be addressed by a National Company Law Tribunal/ National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. The Bill recognizes insider trading by company Directors/KMPs as an offence with criminal liability.
The Companies Bill 2008 is an effort to usher in self-regulation in corporate affairs with disclosures and accountability, and to substitute government control over internal corporate processes and decisions by shareholder control. It also provides for an easy transition of companies operating under the existing Companies Act of 1956, to the new framework as also from one type of company to another. A new entity in the form of One-Person Company is also being introduced by the new Bill. It also provides for appointment of Independent Directors in certain types of Listed Companies and in such cases the minimum number of Independent Directors shall not be less than 33 % of the total number of Directors. It also recognizes both accounting and auditing standards.
The Bill is the result of a comprehensive revision of the existing Companies Act, 1956 that started way back in 2004. In this context the Govt. had constituted an Expert Committee under the chairmanship of Dr. J.J. Irani in Dec. 2004.The Committee had submitted its report to the Govt. on 31st May 2005. After this a detailed consultation was done with various Ministries, Departments and Govt. regulators. The new Bill provides for the basic principles for all aspects of internal governance of corporate entities and framework for their regulation.

Companies bill 2008: Union cabinet clears new Companies Bill
Companies bill 2008: Union cabinet clears new Companies Bill
The new Bill will streamline the approval process for mergers and acquisitions
Sangeeta Singh
New Delhi: The Union cabinet on Friday cleared the Companies Bill, 2008, that calls for stricter disclosure norms, speedier incorporation of companies, more powers to shareholders and streamlining businesses.
The new Bill is also leaner with the number of provisions—norms related to different aspects of doing business—being halved to 400.
The current Companies Act came into effect in 1956 when Indian firms totalled just 30,000, government data shows. Today, there are more than 700,000 companies doing business in a far more complex and liberalized scenario that has seen a surge in international transactions in recent times.
“Self-regulation, shareholders’ democracy and minimal interference by the government, in other words, reducing approvals needed from the government, besides huge penalties for non-compliance are some of the main features of the proposed Bill,” said minister of corporate affairs Prem Chand Gupta.
The new Bill will streamline the approval process for mergers and acquisitions, or M&As. For smaller, private and family-owned businesses, there will be a provision for so-called deemed approval. Currently, each M&A needs to be approved by a high court.
The new Bill, vetted by the law ministry, is likely to be placed in Parliament that begins a session on 17 October.
Under the proposal, partnership firms can have 100 members compared with 20 now, offering scope for expanding their businesses considerably.
“This will further facilitate limited liability partnership firms (Llp), the Bill for which is already in the Parliament,” said Gupta.
An Llp is an alternative business structure combining the limited liability benefits of a company with the flexibility of partnerships.
To enable an individual to start and manage his or her own enterprise, a provision of “one person company” has been introduced in the Bill. Under existing laws, at least two people are needed to start a company.
It has also introduced so-called class action suits, through which minority shareholders can challenge the management as a group.
“Minority stakeholders will benefit from class action, as also guidelines specified for fair valuation of companies through independent professionals such as cost and work accountants, chartered accountants and company secretaries,” said Sumant Batra, member of the managing committee of industry lobby Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.

Sixth Pay Commission: Govt rejects four pay panel suggestions
Four recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, including only three closed holidays for government employees, flexi-hours for women and flexi-weeks for the disabled, have been rejected, says the official notification and resolution of the revised central government pay rules, issued on Friday night.
The proposal to provide a liberal severance package to those employees who wish to leave service between 15 years and 20 years without taking pension has also been rejected.
The government will also examine as many as 10 recommendations, including granting bonus and overtime allowance, corporatising Indian Railways, abolishing the Indian Telecom Service and the Telecom Commission and introduction of a health insurance scheme for central government employees and pensioners, the resolution states.
The proposal to outsource the process of commutation of pension to a public sector bank or institution will also be looked into separately. No time frame has been specified for the same.
The government has also notified the improved and modified three pay bands, and changed grade pays. It has also notified the additional increment of 3 per cent to Indian Administrative Service and Indian Foreign Service officers over other services in three grades. The dearness allowance has been made effective from January 1, 2006.
The resolution makes it clear that the chairpersons and members of five regulators — Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda), Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and Competition Commission of India (CCI) — will receive Rs 3 lakh and Rs 2.5 lakh per month, respectively.
On August 14, the Union Cabinet had approved an improved version of the Sixth Pay Commission award with effect from January 1, 2006.
Consequently, an estimated 4.6 million central employees will receive a raise of between 28 per cent and 40 per cent over their existing basic pay. Employees will start receiving their higher salaries and allowances with effect from September this year.

Sixth Pay Commission: Power deficit to hit India
Sixth Pay Commission: Power deficit to hit India
Aug. 29: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its annual report has warned that the sustained high projected rates of growth in the economy would be hampered if the problem of power shortage is tackled properly.
The annual report released on Friday said that during 2007-08 only 9,263 mega watt (MW) capacity was added against a target of 16,335 MW.
The RBI said the slow progress in capacity addition has accentuated the power supply deficits and any slippage in achieving the targets may worsen the situation further in the face of increasing demand for power from industry and other sectors.
The RBI has adviced the Central government to undertake a co-mprehensive agriculture revamp programme "as a policy priority to increase the production of varieties like wheat and pulses."
Furthermore, a regionally differentiated agricultural strategy needs to be implemented taking into account the local resource endowments, capabilities as well as restrains, it said.
The RBI has warned that finances of the Central government may come under pressure with the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission, loss of revenues on account of reduction in duties on petroleum products, likely increase in fertiliser subsidy and the implementation of debt waiver and debt relief scheme for farmers.
Additionally, as the government may incur increasing liabilities towards issuance of oil and fertilisers bonds, the level of public debt will be impacted on.
The Reserve Bank of India has suggested that in its order to ensure that fiscal imbalances does not diverge from the budget estimates, "efforts are needed to improve tax buoyancy through widening tax base and further improvement in the tax administration."

Sixth pay commission notification 2008
Sixth pay commission notification 2008
Notification issued for Sixth Pay Commission implementation
New Delhi, Aug 30, 2008: Finally the government today issued notification for implementing Sixth Pay Commission recommendations.
The day was being awaited with bated breath by more than five million central government employees. The Union cabinet had approved the recommendations of the sixth pay panel suggestions on 14 August and had made several improvement over the original suggestions made by the central pay panel.
The notification means that the central government employees are all set to receive the revised pay as approved by the government from September 1, giving a much needed relief to central government employees who like others have been hit hard by increasing inflation and spiraling prices.
The implementation of the pay panel recommendations would require huge amount of money that experts say would increase the deficit. The financial implications in 2008-09 on account of the implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission as modified by the Cabinet will be around Rs.15700 crore on the Central Budget and Rs.6400 crore on the Railway Budget
It is being said that modification of the Pay Commission award will cost the exchequer an additional Rs 5,000 crore towards annual wages and Rs 6,000 crore towards arrears, said Expenditure Secretary Sushma Nath.
The notification issued by the government today says, “With regard to fixation of pay in the revised pay bands, the basic pay drawn as on 1.1.2006 on the existing fifth CPC pay scales will be multiplied by a factor of 1.86 and then rounded off to next multiple of 10. this will be the pay in the revised running pay band. Grade pay as approved by the corresponding to the pre-revised pay scale will then be added to the pay in the revised pay band. The total of pay in the pay band and grade pay will be the revised basic pay as on 1.1.2006.
Increment: rate of annual increment will be modified from 2.5% recommended by the commission to 3% and the rate of variable increment for high achievers in PB-3 will be 4% instead of 3.5% recommended by the commission.
Campus restriction for grant of transport allowance will be removed. Consequently employees living in campuses will also be eligible for transport allowance. Further transport allowance for the employees at the lowest levels will be increased to Rs 600 from existing Rs 400 in A-1/A class cities and Rs 400 from existing Rs 300 in other towns.
Three upgradation will be granted under assured career progression (ACP) scheme at 10, 20 and 30 years as per the modified ACP scheme recommended by the commission. ACP scheme will also be applicable to group A employees.
After 4 years of regular services in the entry grade of Rs 4800 in PB-2 officers belonging to Delhi and Andaman and Nicobar islands police service will be granted the non-functional grade of Rs 5400 in PB3 and not in PB-2.
After 4 years of regular service in the section officer/ private secretary/equivalent grade of Rs 4800 grade pay in PB-2 officers of central secretrait service, central secretrait stenographers service and other similarly placed HQ services will be granted the non-functional grade of Rs 5400 in PB3 and not in PB-2.
The commission’s recommendation regarding payment of arrears has been modified to the extent that the arrears will be paid in cash in two instalments- first instalment of 40% during the current financial year 2008-09 and the remaining 60 percent in the next financial year 2009-10.
The revised allowances other than dearness allowance will be effective from 1st day of September 2008.
The government while modifying the recommendations has accepted the suggestion of the pay panel for four pay bands with 20 grade pays.

London, Aug 29 (PTI) Britain today announced that it would provide 150,000 pounds (about Rs 1.2 Crore) to help flood victims in Bihar where more than 2.6 million people in 15 districts have been affected.
The British government's Department for International Development (DFID) said it has asked UNICEF to redirect 150,000 pounds of an existing Trust Fund for immediate assistance to those who have been made homeless by the severe floods in the impoverished Indian state.
The funding will be used to supply up to 20 camps, which currently house 10,000 displaced families, with clean water, shelter and sanitation.
"The situation in Bihar is particularly serious and the UK has responded quickly to provide help to those affected," said Shahid Malik, Britain's International Development Minister.
He said Britain was in contact with the Government of Bihar "and are on standby to step up assistance if needed". "We will continue to monitor the situation closely," he added.

The 100 Most Powerful Women (www.forbes.com)
The 100 Most Powerful Women (www.forbes.com)
Elizabeth MacDonald and Chana R. Schoenberger
The up-and-comers, the ones to watch, the returnees. Here are the women who make things happen.
Our second ranking of the world's most powerful women illustrates how fleeting power is. Megawati Sukarnoputri, the former president of Indonesia who lost her reelection bid, dropped off the rankings. Gone, too, is Carleton (Carly) Fiorina, booted from Hewlett-Packard. The scandal-plagued president of the Philippines, Gloria Arroyo (#4), could soon be off as well. Among the newcomers: Yulia Tymoshenko (#3), prime minister of Ukraine.
Our power rankings are based on a composite of visibility (measured by press citations) and economic impact. The latter, in turn, reflects three things: résumé (a prime minister is more powerful than a senator); the size of the economic sphere over which a leader holds sway; and a multiplier that aims to make different economic yardsticks comparable. For example, a politician is assigned a GDP number but gets a low multiplier, while a foundation executive is assigned the foundation's assets but gets a high multiplier.
Assistance: Catalyst, a research nonprofit; Laura Liswood, secretary general of the Council of Women World Leaders; and Elizabeth Ryan of Worldwit, a women's business group.

It has been a crazy week mixing celebrities and politics in Denver, Colorado. And on Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba were busy rallying the Latino vote.
The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” songstress and the “Dark Angel” actress converged on Vinyl Nightclub in downtown Denver to inform and encourage Latin Americans to get involved in the political system.
Jess looked amazing in a sparkly black knee-length dress while J. Lo did her thing in a lavender strapless frock with a curled-up ‘do and some wrist bling.
Also in the house were Rosario Dawson (co-founder of Voto Latino), Fat Joe, and Wilmer Valderrama, all staunch supporters of Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama.

Huda: Haryana Urban Development Authority,Panchkula,INDIA
The main objective of any organisation should be public Service & Welfare. HUDA is committed to these high ideals. With a view to being in greater transparency in its functioning, HUDA now goes online. This should help the public, in general and the allottees, in particular, in having complete information regarding HUDA's setup, procedures, policies and guideline etc. However, the information provided on this website is for guidance purpose of general public about the present rules & regulations and procedures of HUDA. It is not a legal document, and as such it cannot be reproduced in any legal matter. As and when the policies or regulations are changed, the same shall be applicable.
BROAD WORKING OF THE ORGANIZATION
The Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), a statutory body of Haryana Govt. was constituted under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977. Before the constitution of HUDA, the Deptt. Of Urban Estates, which was established in the year 1962, used to look after the work concerning planned development of urban areas and it functioned under the aegis of the Town & Country Planning Deptt. The functioning of the Urban Estates Deptt. was earlier regulated by the Punjab Urban Estates (Development & Regulations) Act, 1964 and rules made thereunder and the various development activities used to be carried out by different departments of the State Govt. such as P.W.D (B&R), Public Health, Haryana State Electricity Board etc. But it was observed that the involvement of several agencies in the development of Urban Estates at various places had given rise to problems of coordination with the result that growth of most of Urban Estates became slow and caused unnecessary dissatisfaction among the plot-holders in particular and public in general. Besides, as the Deptt. had to follow the financial rules and regulations of Govt., the arrangement of finances and sanction of estimates took a long time and the development works had not kept pace with the required standards of physical development. It was also considered that being Govt. department, it was unable to raise resources from various lending institutions although there were various financial institutions in the country to finance urban development programmes which could be availed of. Thus in order to over come all these difficulties and to achieve the expeditious development of urban estates, it was felt that the Deptt. Of Urban Estates should be converted into such a body which could take up all the developmental activities itself and provide various facilities in the urban estates expeditiously. Accordingly, the Authority has taken over work which was being handled by individual departments.The main functions of Haryana Urban Development Authority are as under :-
To promote and secure development of urban areas with the power to acquire, sell and dispose off property, both movable and immovable ;
To acquire, develop and dispose land for residential, industrial and commercial purpose ;

Before 09.02.1995 the award for land acquisition was announced on the basis of rates determined by concerned District Collector who was the Competent Authority under Revenue Law to assess such rates. The assessment was based on the average of registered sale transactions during the last 5 years prior to the Section-4 notification in respect of adjoining lands of similar category. (The claims U/s 9 of the Land Acquisition Act filed by the Land Owners/interested persons were also taken into consideration by the Land Acquisition Collector before announcing the award.)
However, it was felt that the above mentioned collector rates did not reflect the actual market prices and therefore on 09.02.1995 Government costituted a committee comprising of the following officers to decide the market price to be paid to the land owners in case of acquisition by the Government :-
The above instructions of the Government were modified on 20.06.1995 by changing the composition of the committee thus:-
Divisional Commissioner Chairman
Dy. Commissioner concerned Member Secretary
Representative of the concerned Member Department.
District Revenue Officer concerned Member
The above committee is to determine the market price by taking into consideration the average of 1 year sale price and not of 5 years as was the practice earlier.
In short, the Land Acquisition Collector announces the award taking into consideration the rates so fixed by the committee headed by the Divisional Commissioner as well as the claims received U/s 9 of the Land Acquisition Act filed by the land owners and the interested pe rsons.

Huda: Haryana Urban Development Authority,Panchkula,INDIA
The main objective of any organisation should be public Service & Welfare. HUDA is committed to these high ideals. With a view to being in greater transparency in its functioning, HUDA now goes online. This should help the public, in general and the allottees, in particular, in having complete information regarding HUDA's setup, procedures, policies and guideline etc. However, the information provided on this website is for guidance purpose of general public about the present rules & regulations and procedures of HUDA. It is not a legal document, and as such it cannot be reproduced in any legal matter. As and when the policies or regulations are changed, the same shall be applicable.
BROAD WORKING OF THE ORGANIZATION
The Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), a statutory body of Haryana Govt. was constituted under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1977. Before the constitution of HUDA, the Deptt. Of Urban Estates, which was established in the year 1962, used to look after the work concerning planned development of urban areas and it functioned under the aegis of the Town & Country Planning Deptt. The functioning of the Urban Estates Deptt. was earlier regulated by the Punjab Urban Estates (Development & Regulations) Act, 1964 and rules made thereunder and the various development activities used to be carried out by different departments of the State Govt. such as P.W.D (B&R), Public Health, Haryana State Electricity Board etc. But it was observed that the involvement of several agencies in the development of Urban Estates at various places had given rise to problems of coordination with the result that growth of most of Urban Estates became slow and caused unnecessary dissatisfaction among the plot-holders in particular and public in general. Besides, as the Deptt. had to follow the financial rules and regulations of Govt., the arrangement of finances and sanction of estimates took a long time and the development works had not kept pace with the required standards of physical development. It was also considered that being Govt. department, it was unable to raise resources from various lending institutions although there were various financial institutions in the country to finance urban development programmes which could be availed of. Thus in order to over come all these difficulties and to achieve the expeditious development of urban estates, it was felt that the Deptt. Of Urban Estates should be converted into such a body which could take up all the developmental activities itself and provide various facilities in the urban estates expeditiously. Accordingly, the Authority has taken over work which was being handled by individual departments.The main functions of Haryana Urban Development Authority are as under :-
To promote and secure development of urban areas with the power to acquire, sell and dispose off property, both movable and immovable ;
To acquire, develop and dispose land for residential, industrial and commercial purpose ;
To make available developed land to Haryana Housing Board and other bodies for providing houses to economically weaker sections of the society ; and
To undertake building works.
