PM urges India Inc to be sensitive in turbulent times

New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday asked India's top industrialists to be sensitive to the adverse impact of the current economic crisis on the weaker sections of the society and sought their help in meeting the challenges.

"I have great faith and confidence in India's entrepreneurs and particularly in the wisdom and experiences of captains of industry assembled here today to meet the challenges confronting our economy," he told a meeting with them at his official residence here.

"We need to be particularly sensitive to the impact of slowdown on the weakest in the organised as well as unorganised sectors. We must meet the challenge of job losses caused by the slowdown," the prime minister added.

Manmohan Singh had invited some 25 leading industrialists to hear their views on some of the key issues concerning the domestic and global economy and to help frame India's position ahead of his participation at the G20 summit in London April 2, 2009.

As Indian Growth Soars, Child Hunger Persists

Malnutrition in India is worse than in many African nations, stunting the growth of children like this girl in Shivpuri, photographed in November 2008 By SOMINI SENGUPTA
Published: March 12, 2009

NEW DELHI — Small, sick, listless children have long been India’s scourge — “a national shame,” in the words of its prime minister, Manmohan Singh. But even after a decade of galloping economic growth, child malnutrition rates are worse here than in many sub-Saharan African countries, and they stand out as a paradox in a proud democracy.

India’s sluggish and sometimes corrupt bureaucracy has only haltingly put in place relatively simple solutions — iodizing salt, for instance, or making sure all children are immunized against preventable diseases — to say nothing of its progress on the harder tasks, like changing what and how parents feed their children.
As Indian Growth Soars, Child Hunger Persists

Comment: NGO's too are not spared by corrupt bureaucrats- they take a bite of major funds and resources and ensure that money and funds do not reach the needy. Even UN organisations and World Bank resources are subtly looted by Bureaucrats...they seek employment of their wards and relatives in these world bodies to thwart any benefit to the poorest of the poor!

Petition for Ratification of UN Convention Against Corruption

Dear Dr. Singh,
On one hand, as per the United Nations Food Program’s recent findings, India has half the world’s hungry and 47% of its children below five years suffer from malnutrition, on the other the country’s corrupt and criminals have reportedly stashed more than a trillion US dollars in banks in Switzerland, Channel islands, Singapore, Hong Kong, and other tax havens. Recovery of those stolen assets is absolutely essential if our otherwise resource-starved country has to launch a comprehensive poverty removal campaign and make an unqualified success of it. Here, the U.N. Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), which, for the first time in the history, provides for an international legal framework for cross- border recovery of stolen assets, would have helped.

Quite inexplicably, however, the Indian government has not yet ratified the Convention, though it signed it way back on the 9th December 2005. We request you to please now make amends by ratifying the UNCAC immediately. Under the Indian Constitution, the executive can ratify the international treaties and conventions without taking the matter to Parliament, the Lok Sabha’s not being in session, therefore, should not come in the way.
Thanking you and with best regards,
Sincerely,
Xxxxx
