What They Said

As usual 'Focus' in Issues & Concerns (May Issue) is both entertaining and informative. Your assessment of the likely Presidential candidates is balanced, detailed and dispassionate. And, I for one, wholeheartedly endorse your choice of a Technocrat in the person of Azim Premjee, someone who is eminently qualified and capable of providing the Government balanced and farsighted advice whenever compulsions of populist politics overtake long term interest of our nation.

I have been reading your English monthly “ISSUES&CONCERNS” regularly since more than about a decade. Since then it is my observation that the magazine has been maintaining the same standard quality with its issue based articles and other news bits. For a enthusiast reader it is like a tasty meal with many mouth watering dishes for a hungry man. ‘Long Live ISSUES&CONCENS’-

I am an avid reader of “Issues & Concerns” published from Mangalore under the able editorship of Mr. J. Shriyan.  Mr. Shriyan who is from a banking background having been the Chairman of Mahalakshmi Co-op. Bank Ltd., has varied interests and concern about the social problems  apart from editing  “Issues & Concerns” for the last 17 years.  He has shown keen interest in  publishing Health & Education issues which are fundamental to Good Governance.  Wherever Governance has failed, he has successfully solved the problems of the victims of mal-administration like failure of proper facilities to school children. He has generously contributed for the distribution of nutritious food  and supply of purified water and other needs of the poor students which is a noble deed indeed.
I whole-heartedly appreciate the work of Mr. Shriyan as also publication of “Issues & Concerns” and the values Mr. Shriyan stand for.
I wish Mr. Shriyan and “Issues & Concerns” all the very best.

In the May, 2017, I&C, I feel “Thou Art That” in the ‘MUSING’ column is simply wonderful. It is a wip of fresh air, though various other contents in Focus, Month-in-Perspective and serial etc. are also interesting as usual. –Dr. Rohit, Chennai

Your focus "Khairlanji: shame of a nation”. (I&C April) made a very disturbed reading. Sir the world is very cruel. It is not as real as visible. It has got so much cruelty that nobody can imagine. Rarely we read such kind of ill treatment towards untouchables.
It was difficult to see those images. My senses became blank. How tragic is the fate of Dalits in India. When will this change, if ever?
‘Happiness is to make others happy’ by Prof B.M Hegde is a wonderful article. I was very happy to read the article, since it taught me lot of things. Rarely we find people who think, living for others is a way of life. It’s a great job to bring smile on others face and see them being happy.                                     – Chaithra Padukone, Nitte

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

Focus for October 2022

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
