What They Said

I read at least half a dozen periodicals but none of them as frank and bold like “ISSUES & CONCERNS”.
Many hidden and unheard news items to know. This makes me to understand that the Editor and his team are well read and informed on day to day happenings around the Globe. I also admire the frankness and advice of Prof. B.M. Hegde in his articles particularly in respect of Medical Profession and Multinational Pharma Companies. In the September 2015 issue on Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, the People’s President, the Missile Man and a fitting man to receive Bharat Ratna country's highest award, is apprecialted.
Wishing Good luck to you and your entire team of ISSUES & CONCERNS.

Dear All Ardent Readers of the Issues and Concern.
It is indeed a triumph of personal endeavours to achieve what ordinary mortals like me cannot even dream to tread.
Shri Shriyan has achieved an important milestone in his journey to create an awareness about the real problems which has besieged India over the past Fifteen long years. I have been one of those bystanders who has kept an incredible distance and not been a part of his endeavour to create such awareness.
I have been reading his articles but not really contributing in any way to help him make his journey easier. 
I congratulate him for his grit and determination to carry out the work he has taken on for the last Fifteen years, I read his Editor's Column without fail and his Month in Perspective is truly an insight and trip to all the happenings in around all the States/UTs of India. Shri Shriyan touches the most core issues be of poverty, human bondage, corruption, health, barbarism, nepotism, negligence etc...you name it...its there.
I appeal to all the fraternity who read ISSUES & CONCERNS to please spread the good word and the work being carried out by Shri Shriyan relentlessly.
May God Bless him with good health and spirits to carry on this agenda which is very close to his heart.
Venkatesh Shriyan, Mumbai,  via email


Kudos! Hats off! for the magnificent completion of 15 long years of non-stop publication of this epoch making periodical ISSUES & CONCERNS. Being a reader for over 10 years, it has been an extremely satisfying journey into a unique world of letters. Despite plethora of news material available on the news stand, I&C has tried to deflect the reader from routine news and views to a silent  reflection on ISSUES, we face & Concerns we ought to have. Like a reader had put it long ago “Any one take up issues. It takes immense courage to take up issues as your own and address them, because they concern you”. I salute the people behind the bold venture for taking issues head-on without fear or favour. This magazine is undoubtedly “be the change you want to see in the world”. Its editorial in the older format and the current Month-in-Perspective is a great reading material. It is indeed an insightful effort in journalism. Wish it grows from strength to strength.

Month-in-Perspective for October 2022

New Delhi : All living beings are in transit through this sorry world. The day our mandate is over we just have to vacate the space, doesn’t matter even if it’s Buckingham Palace. So, the reigning Queen of England left her mortal self to rest in her eternal space. She is no more. Elizabeth Alexander Mary, born on 21st April 1926, was anointed Queen of England on 6th Feb 1952 ended on 8th Sept 2022, uninterrupted and unquestioned for all the 70 years. Born Princess Elizabeth of York, in Mayfair, a suburb of London she was coroneted on 2nd June 1953, born to King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth. Indians by and large need not be interested in knowing more of the queen, either as a monarch or as a person of English origin. Our interest is only with reference to India in general and Jalianwala Baag in particular. 13th April 1919 was some 7 years before Queen Elizabeth was even born. It was on that day a crowd of non-violent protestors along with Baisakhi pilgrims had gathered in Jalianwal

EMPOWERING HUMAN POTENTIAL AS A CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY: THE KP RAMASWAMY SAGA Speaking on “A PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT FACE”, as eminent management expert of Yesteryears, Mr. Shanu Rangnakar had observed “Two grabbing hands are all that the private enterprise could present before the people. There is a crisis of image in this sector”. This was in early 1975, that is close to half a century ago. How has this image undergone transformation during this past, close to fifty years? It’s a question with profoundly mixed answers in this era of World Trade Organization and consequent globalization. “People must come to accept private enterprise not as a necessary evil but as an affirmative good” was a dictum attributed to late Eugene Robert Black, the third president of the World Bank. He was president during 1949 to 1962, probably the longest served president of World Bank. They were truly the transformative years of World Bank also known as International Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The a
