July 11, 2014 …. The swearing-in-ceremony of gvernor raj bhavanHon’ble Governor of Rajasthan and Gujarat, Smt. Margaret Alva as Governor of Goa, will be held at 6.00 pm on Saturday, July 12, 2014. Chief Justice of Bombay High Court Mr. Justice Mohit Shantilal Shah will administer the oath of office to the Governor at Durbar hall of the Raj Bhavan. 

Smt. Alva – a lawyer, parliamentarian and former Union Minister — is credited with steering several landmark legislations through the Indian parliament to improve the position of women in society and polity. While unflinchingly advocating an ‘inclusive India’ guided by Constitutional values, Smt. Alva — in her gubernatorial role — sees herself as a ‘Friend, Philosopher and Guide’ to the State Government.

Beginning her political career as the only woman Block President in Karnataka after the split of 1969, she went on to head the Congress Party’s women’s wing in Karnataka in 1972. She soon moved on to become the General Secretary of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee. Two years later, Smt. Alva, 32, was elected to the Rajya Sabha. Thereafter, there was no turning back.

As a Member of Parliament – Rajya Sabha (1974 – 98) and Lok Sabha (1999 -2004) – Smt. Alva served on several parliamentary committees. She was appointed Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs in the Rajiv Gandhi Government in 1984, later moving to the Ministry of Human Resource Development in charge of Youth Affairs and Sports, Women and Child Development.

In 1991 she was appointed Union Minister of State for Personnel, Pensions, Public Grievances and Administrative Reforms (attached to the Prime Minister). She also served as Minister for Science & Technology for a brief period.

Smt. Alva spearheaded some major legislative amendments passed by the Indian Parliament involving women’s rights, the most important being reservation of quotas for women in local bodies.

She steered legislation on Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) and amendments to the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, and the Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act, 1956. She also helped draft the National Perspective Plan for Women – a blueprint for policies for empowerment of women, which has been adopted as a guide by Union and state governments.

Several far reaching reforms in the sports management and infrastructure fields took shape with her efforts. As Minister of State for Personnel, Smt. Alva initiated the process of administrative decentralization, taking governance to the grass roots.

In 2004, Smt. Alva’s parliamentary experience was tapped by the Indian Parliament with her appointment as Advisor to the Bureau of Parliamentary Studies and Training, a body set up to help improve standards of legislative functioning in Parliament and State Assemblies by training newly elected MPs and MLAs in their work.

She simultaneously served as General Secretary of the AICC for five years. On completion of this assignment (2004-09), Smt. Alva was appointed the Governor of Uttarakhand in 2009. She moved to Rajasthan, as Governor, in 2012.

With the Constitution of India enjoining upon Governors of States with sizeable tribal population to monitor progress in Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) areas, Smt. Alva – carrying forward a proposal mooted by her predecessor Shri Shivraj Patil –set up a Tribal Cell in Raj Bhawan, Jaipur. Having visited most of the tribal districts of Rajasthan, Smt. Alva has been communicating her suggestions on tribal development issues to the State Government for follow-up action.

Smt. Alva, Member of Parliament for 30 years, confesses to being a “reluctant politician”. “My husband, Niranjan Alva, whose parents Joachim and Violet Alva, freedom fighters, were the first couple in the Indian Parliament, persuaded me to accept Karnataka Congress’ appointment to lead its women’s wing in 1972”.

Smt. Alva and her husband – both lawyers — practiced in the Supreme Court. She has represented India at several international conferences. Recipient of several Awards for contribution to public life, Smt. Alva has lectured at, among others, Harvard and Columbia Universities.

A painter, interior decorator and social worker by temperament, Smt. Alva enjoys being among people. She lives with her husband and values time spent with her three sons a daughter and their nine children.

10/07/IMG_4278 (Copy)2014 … GFDC Chairman Dr. Rufino Monteiro and Member Secretary Mr. Elvis Gomes unveiled the Councils Technical Director Karnagaran (Katz) Naidoo to the press this evening in the presence of Vice Chairman Mr. Anthony Bothelo.

Outlining GFDC’s aims of taking football forward, Dr Monteiro stressed that Katz’s programme would be to give practical shape to GFDC’s master plan for football which has been designed with inputs from the Council members and eminent sports personalities that had participated in GIFT – a seminar organised by GFDC a year ago.

With Katz taking over the technical work of GFDC , football training at all the centres will be taken to the next level and our trainees would receive scientific training in keeping with the needs of modern times . With this the aim and dreams of our Chief Minister who declared football as an official state sport and formed GFDC would materialise,” stated Dr Monteiro.

“ Katz is here to implement GFDC’s vision for football. Being a technical man with huge experience and highly recommended by people associated with African football , we had not much hesitations after analysing his vision for football.” Stated member secretary Mr. Gomes.

“Football needs to supplement its own eco- system. Community development forms a part of taking football development to every nook and corner available. Katz was recommended by Dr Robinson Peterson. Not just recommendations. Katz during his visit to see and understand our aims impressed us with his footprints to take the game forward. He is in-charge. Off- course we are here to help him in any way that will take the game forward,” stated Mr. Gomes.

Katz – as he is fondly called- in his address to the press demonstrated how football when looked scientifically can be enjoyed . It is a game that holds no barriers. It is the sport that fascinates all. I am here to learn from everyone. I have come here to leave behind a legacy. Football knows no barriers, says the coach from south Africa but with Indian origins.

“ There is no question of putting regimes. Training should be fun. When you enjoy , you learn best. There is no question of putting fear or running down any one. The idea is to get the best out of everyone. God is bestowed talent on everyone. We are instruments to tap those talents, “ stated Katz.

Having played and having been brought up in apartheid plagued South Africa, life was a steep climb. I survived because football is my love and football is all I know. I took this opportunity to come to Goa as a signal from above,” said the ebullient Technical Director.

Katz has a CV that will make most eyes twinkle with envy. Right from teaching football in South Africa , he has had stints in other countries in Asia and Europe. But it is not qualifications that matter much to him. It is how you learn to play. Katz in his simple words , let it be known that his decision to come here will be supplemented by the legacy he leaves behind.

10/07/2014 … The Union Budget of the Modi Government is a document of fiscal prudence which speaks of galvanization of each sector of economy to its best in the larger interest of the Country-said the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), apex body of the trading community of India.

After a long time, the budget is not a corporate document but has made all efforts to utilise optimum capacity of all sectors of economy. It would have been more better if the Union Finance Minister would have also announced a National Trade Policy for Retail Trade of India.

However, the efforts spelled out in budget to liberate the trade and industry from the clutches of Inspector Rule and simplification and rationalisation of tax structure is a welcome step and the budget will lead to economic sovereignty-added CAIT.

CAIT National President Mr. B. C.Bhartia and National Secretary General Mr. Praveen Khandelwal while reacting on the Union Budget said that proposal to to examine financial architecture for MSME sector and for this purpose the FM has declared to constitute a Committee of Finance Ministry, MSME Ministry and RBI is a welcome step.

The CAIT was demanding financial inclusion of this sector since a long time. They also lauded the declaration to form a High Level Committee to interact with trade & industry on regular basis for clarity in tax laws will be a major step in direction of simplification and rationalisation of tax structure in the Country.

The announcement of early introduction of GST is also a welcome step but the stakeholders should be consulted effectively while drawing a roadmap of GST in India-said both leaders.

Both Mr. Bhartia & Mr. Khandelwal said that serious declarations have been made in the budget for skill development which will provide much employment opportunities in the Country. The provision of E Visa will boost Business Tourism in India.

The declaration of setting up of Export Promotion Mission to bring all stakeholders under one umbrella will further boost domestic exports and both trade and industry will be benefited. The creation of a fund with Rs.10,000 crore for venture capital in MSME will strengthen SME fabric in the Country.
