A project that is now sure to change the existing state of transport in the capital, Delhi Metro is not a new or even recent idea for Indians. In fact, the idea was brought into consideration about some fifty years back, but the bureaucratic red-Taoism made it to take such a long period to come into reality. However, on December 26, 2002, the people of Delhi got the first ride in this much-awaited dream train.

Delhi Metro’s first phase has been completed. And, with this, the DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) can claim to provide transport to two million passengers every day with a train at every third minute. In its first phase, the Delhi Metro is operational between Sahara and Ties Hazard stations with four other stations in between. The Metro is on, and the people are happy with the service it is rendering.

After all, now they have an alternate to the suffocating packed blue line buses and the inadequate service of the DTC – run CNG buses. With the Metro option, the passengers are not only saved from the inconvenience of the road transport, but they also experience a world class service at very affordable fares. It is really pleasing to note that a passenger can reach from Ties Hazard to Sahara in just fourteen minutes by spending as much money as he would spend through a bus.

Thus, while it saves the passengers from the trouble of road transport and provides a much reliable service to reach places in time, it does not bother the commuter of any extra expenditure. Another outstanding feature the metro is that it is particularly useful for our handicapped brethren. The construction work of the Delhi Metro is on at a considerable place and it is hoped that the people of other areas in Delhi will soon be able to avail of this amazingly comfortable train service.

It is foreseen by many that at the completion of this dream project, the Delhi will have a better train facility than even Japan and North Korea, the countries which have provided the present metro trains to India. With the successful completion and operation of its first phase, the above assumption does not seem to be any far from the reality.

...the Government of Kerala assigned the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) the task of preparing the detailed project report (DPR) for the Kochi Metro rail project. It was expected to start by 2006 and complete by 2010. But the project was delayed because the Central Government expressed serious doubts about the economic viability of the project.[9] The Kerala government had sought the Centre's assistance for the project to be built on the lines of the Delhi Metro project in terms of funding. The Centre refused this request.[10] The Union Government was in favour of implementing the project in public–private partnership (PPP) on the build-operate-transfer model,[11] ruling out its own financial involvement. The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and the Planning Commission were also against government investment in the project, and refused to accept it as a project in line with the Delhi and Chennai metros. The political rivalry between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre was a major reason for such developments and the slow down in the project.[12] The LDF wanted it to be in public sector, which was not accepted by the Central Government. The victory of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in the 2011 Kerala legislative assembly elections, changed the scenario in the state[13] and it was decided that the Kochi Metro would follow the Chennai Metro and Delhi Metro models, and would be implemented on...

Management Case Study

...CASE STUDY ON MANAGEMENT MC DONALDS CASE STUDY McDonald’s a leading fast food joint ,has enjoyed over 40 years of exceptional performance. In 2010, for example, the company had registered 10 years of 20 per cent per annum growth. EDITOR’S CHOICE The challenge: That year, Jack Greenberg became the company’s fourth chief executive. His main concern was how to lead the business in less favourable market conditions. McDonald’s was facing concerns about fatty foods and about beef; competition was squeezing margins; and growth from international markets was slowing. The strategy: Mr Greenberg did what the textbooks suggest. First, he focused on improving the core business, announcing it as his top priority. Then, he also set a second priority: to find a new platform for growth. With this audacious goal in mind, he supported five acquisitions of related restaurant businesses – including Chipotle, a Mexican food restaurant, and 50 per cent of Pret A Manger, the UK sandwich chain – and he set up the Partner Brands Division, to be responsible for these new businesses. Mr Greenberg also opened the door to a number of other, more organic initiatives led by his head of strategy, Mats Lederhausen. What happened: Mr Greenberg found it difficult to dedicate enough attention to both priorities. The core business continued to deteriorate and in 2001 McDonald’s announced its first quarterly loss and the resignation of Mr Greenberg. Jim Cantalupo, a retired McDonald’s executive...

This survey revealed actual lifestyles and mindsets relative to consumption of the middle rich who earn an annual household income of 250,000 rupees or more. The middle rich segment is expected to rapidly expand in the future. Automobiles (personal), personal computers (PCs) and the use of the Internet are still at the developing phase towards popularity among the middle rich in India. However, mobile phones and DVD players/recorders have already penetrated as deep as the mass segment. As such, the pace of popularization largely varies depending on the product. The survey also revealed these varying growth rates that can be regarded as characteristics unique to the Indian market. Growth is also expected in the leisure market targeting the middle rich. While the middle rich have innovative consumption mindsets, they also give emphasis to “if price matches quality” and “if...

Around 10,000 people in Delhi may die prematurely due to the pollution in the air they are living in. Recently taking into consideration this issue, the National Green Tribunal (NGT), banned all diesel vehicles over 10 years old from running on the roads of this region. As the economic prosperity increases in these area and increase in disposable income leading to urbanization, the number of motor vehicles have increased too much which has led to easy and unprecedented mobility to the citizens. The number of motor vehicles in India has been increasing at around 7% per annum for the past 10 years. This increase in the vehicles and its concentration, mostly the cars, has led to led to traffic congestion and severe...

...launch of Fair & Handsome, which still dominates the space with close to 70 per cent share. In 2007, Hindustan Unilever launched Fair & Lovely Menz Active but it could not gather much share. Over the past year, multinationals such as Beiersdorf (Nivea for Men) and L'Oreal (Garnier PowerLight) launched a slew of products for men's skin care. While the overall cosmetics industry is growing at 15 per cent year-on-year, fairness creams constitute a huge market with sales worth nearly Rs 2,000 crore (Nielsen 2010 figures). Of this, men's fairness creams account for 10 per cent, though growing at 30 per cent year-on-year -- a sign that they're catching on.

...us with a feeling that the whole country has been turned into a garbage dump. How have we allowed this state of affairs as a nation? It is truly a matter of concern. This has happened when India has been rising at unprecedented economic growth rates during the past decade. We Indians are personally very clean people. We brush our teeth and take a bath everyday and wash our hands before eating. We keep our houses speck clean. But when it comes to public places, as people we are simply unable to keep our streets, our railway stations, hospitals, or places of worship clean. This is the state of affairs everywhere in India including hundreds and thousands of villages, towns, mega-cities as well as in the streets of the national capital New Delhi. We simply have very poor civic sense or social ethics. What is Civic Sense? Civic Sense encompasses unspoken norms of society that help it run smoothly without someone tripping on somebody else’s toes. Civic Sense is all about having consideration for a fellow human being. It means being polite, showing consideration to elderly, women, children and disabled people, driving in one’s lane without honking, throwing one’s garbage in dustbins, smoking only at designated places. The list can go on. Why is Civic Sense needed? The WHO report shows that India leads the world in number of deaths resulting from road traffic accidents. 126 thousand...
