Ranchi’s Medanta Hospital Slammed By Jharkhand Government For Medical Negligence

The India Saga Saga |

Recently Jharkhand State has found Medanta Hospital’s negligence in kidney transplantation case. The allegation of negligence in the kidney transplantation of patient Rajesh Kumar Paswan in Medanta Hospital Ranchi has been found correct in the departmental investigation. While reviewing complaints in the weekly review program of Jansamvad Kendra on 4th June 2019, Principal Secretary to CM Sunil Kumar Barnwal ordered action against hospital management and returning the entire amount taken for the treatment to the patient. 

The family members of Rajesh Kumar Paswan complained in the Jansamvad Kendra that a doctor of Medanta Hospital Ranchi who had transplanted the kidney of the patient was threatening to kill them and asking them to take the case back which was against them in the police station. Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Sunil Kumar Barnwal said that if the doctors are threatening, then they will have to face legal action against them. 

Other shocking revelations were made by Hanish Patel he said, “ His father Rasik Lal Patel who got brain stroke on 23rd March 2019 was brought to Medanta Hospital in Ranchi for treatment, he stated that the first aid given to him was not proper. No senior doctor was available at that time and no Neurosurgeon was called to attend the patient.”

He said, “Doctor came to visit on 24th March afternoon to see the patient.” The patient was attended by Neurosurgeon after 12 hours of admitting in the hospital.

On 24th March when I met another Doctor in the evening he stated that “ We were giving instructions over “Whatsapp Group” for the treatment of the patient.”

Thousands of patients die due to medical negligence in hospitals across India, the number steadily rising. Doctors, on the other hand, are ruing the fallen doctor-patient trust which they say is the lowest today.

1.4 Million Refugees Set To Need Urgent Resettlement In 2020: UNHCR

The India Saga Saga |


More than 1.4 million displaced people in over 60 refugee hosting countries will need resettlement next year, the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, 
said on Monday, while also supporting a call for far greater protection for vulnerable LGBTI individuals seeking asylum.

According to UNHCR’s Projected Global Resettlement Needs 2020 report, those with the greatest needs include nationals from Syria (40 per cent), South Sudan (14 per cent) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (11 per cent).

“Given the record numbers of people needing safety from war, conflict and persecution and the lack of political solutions to these situations, we urgently need countries to come forward and resettle more refugees,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.

Globally, resettlement needs in 2020 are set to rise by one percent compared with this year, driven by increased displacement in Africa and the Americas, which account for six and 22 percent respectively.

At 450,000 people, the East and Horn of Africa region has the highest resettlement needs, reflecting ongoing insecurity in South Sudan despite a 2018 peace agreement, and protracted refugee situations in DRC, Central Africa, Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan, according to UNHCR.

This is followed by Turkey (420,000), which hosts 3.7 million refugees, the wider Middle East, and North Africa region (250,000) and Central Africa and the Great Lakes region (almost 165,000).

There has to be more equitable sharing of refugees: Grandi

“With the overwhelming majority, 84 per cent, of the world’s refugees hosted in developing regions facing their own development and economic challenges and whose own populations may live below the poverty line, there simply has to be a more equitable sharing of responsibility for global crises”, Mr. Grandi told Member States attending consultations in Geneva on resettlement for refugees.

Resettlement involves the relocation of refugees from a country of asylum to a country that has agreed to admit them and grant them permanent settlement.

It is regarded by UNHCR as a life-saving tool to ensure the protection of those most at risk or with specific needs that cannot be addressed in the country where they have sought protection.

In a bid to provide more vulnerable refugees with a new home in a third country – and amid significantly fewer resettlement opportunities globally in the last two years – UNHCR and partners on Friday unveiled an initiative in support of resettlement and other legal alternatives to enter countries, such as family, work and study routes.

Bid to resettle three million refugees globally by 2028

By the end of 2028, the objective of the strategy is to expand so-called “third country solutions” for three million refugees, with one million resettling in 50 countries and two million benefiting from alternative pathways.

A Global Refugee Forum is to be held in December in Geneva, which UNHCR believes is a “critical opportunity to galvanize support through commitments and pledges” from States and other relevant stakeholders.

“History has shown that with a strong sense of purpose, States can come together to collectively respond to refugee crises, and help millions to reach safety, find homes and build futures in new communities,” Mr. Grandi insisted.

UN rights experts urge more protection for LGBTI refugees

In a related development, UNHCR has added its support to a UN-appointed independent rights expert’s call for many more States to increase protection for the LGBTI community and to be more aware of their “unique vulnerability”.

Today, only 37 States grant asylum to individuals on the basis of persecution based on sexual orientation or gender identity, according to UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Volker Türk, and the UN Independent Expert Victor Madrigal-Borloz.

“For many LGBTI people, the trauma and persecution start well before their actual flight to safety,” Mr. Madrigal Borloz said. “Persecution often manifests through laws that criminalise sexual orientation, gender identity or expression or that are discriminatory.”

LGBTI people are also exposed to disproportionate levels of arbitrary detention, police abuse, violence and extrajudicial killings by both State and non-State actors, the Independent Expert said, “as well as abuse in medical settings, including forced sterilisations and so-called ‘conversion therapies’”.

Echoing that message, Mr. Turk added that many LGBTI refugees continue to face prejudice and violence in countries of transit and host countries.

Türk said that, even in locations where LGBTI refugees are more accepted and services are accessible, many choose to conceal their sexual orientation and gender identity for fear they might be targeted or marginalised, particularly in densely populated areas.

It is, therefore, crucial to create safe spaces and services that are designed in consultation with LGBTI people and their organisations.

Two Years After GST – Written By Former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley

The India Saga Saga |

Today, the Goods and Services Tax regime enters its third year. The monumental restructuring of one of the world’s clumsiest indirect tax system was not an easy task. The challenges to implement the GST were compounded by some outlandish and exaggerated comments of the not so well-informed. It would, therefore, be only fair to look back the last two years and analyse the implementation and the impact/ consequences of the GST.

The pre-GST regime

In a federal structure, both Centre and States were entitled to impose indirect tax on goods. The States had multiple laws which entitled them to impose taxation at different points. There were twin challenges. Firstly, to get the States to agree because some of them felt they were losing their fiscal autonomy to tax and, secondly, to develop a consensus in the Parliament. The States were scared of the fear of the unknown. The critical point which enabled the Government to persuade the States was to cushion them with a 14% annual increase from the tax base of 2015-16 for a period of five years. 

The GST merged all these seventeen different laws and created one single taxation. The pre-GST rate of taxation as a standard rate for VAT was 14.5%, excise at 12.5% and added with the CST and the cascading effect of tax on tax, the tax payable by the consumer was 31%. The entertainment tax was being levied by the States from 35% to 110%. The assessee had to file multiple returns, entertain multiple inspectors and additionally face the inefficiency – trucks being stranded at the State boundaries for days altogether. 

The GST changed this scenario completely. Today, there is only one tax, online returns, no entry tax, no truck queues and no inter-state barriers.  

Consumer and assessee friendly

After two years, one can confidently argue, without fear of contradiction that GST proved to be both consumer and assessee friendly. The high taxation of pre GST era pinched the consumers’ pocket and acted as a disincentive against tax compliance. The last two years have seen each of the meetings of the GST Council reducing the tax burden on consumers as the tax collections improved. An efficient tax system certainly leads to better compliance. The 31% tax, which was temporarily 28%, has seen the largest single reform. Most items of consumer use have been brought in the 18%, 12% and even 5% category. Only luxury and sin goods remain in addition to some white goods. A sudden reduction of all categories can lead to a massive loss of government revenue leaving the government without resources to spend. This exercise had to be done in a gradual manner as the revenues increased. The Cinema tickets, earlier taxed at 35% to 110%, have been brought down to 12% and 18%. Most items of daily use are in the zero or 5% slab. The loss to the revenue on account of this reduction collectively has been more than Rs.90,000 crore annually. 

Widening tax base and higher revenue

The assessee base in the last two years has increased by 84%. The number of assessees covered by the GST were around 65 lakh. Today, they are at 1.20 crores. This obviously leads to higher revenue collections. In the eight months of 2017-18 (July to March), the average revenue collected per month was Rs.89,700 crore per month. In the next year (2018-19), the monthly average has increased by about 10% to Rs.97,100 crore. The fear of the States today is that for the first five years they get a guaranteed 14% increase. The lurking doubt is as to what will happen after five years? Every State has been paid its share of tax as also from the compensation fund, if necessary. We have just completed two years of GST. Already after the second year, twenty States are independently showing more than a 14% increase in their revenues and the compensation fund in their case is not necessary. 

Simplification and compliance

Businesses upto an annual turnover of Rs.40 lakh are GST exempt. Those with a turnover upto Rs.1.5 crore can make use of the composition scheme and pay only one percent tax. There is now a single registration system which works online and the procedures for the trade and business are reviewed and simplified regularly. 

A response to certain misconceived ideas

Many warned us that it may not be politically safe to introduce the GST. In several countries, governments lost elections because of the GST. India had one of the smoothest transformation. Within the first few weeks of the implementation, the new system settled down. There were a few protests in Surat. The issues were resolved. The BJP won all the Assembly seats in the Gujarat poll in Surat. In 2019, the BJP won the Surat seat by the highest margin in the country. Those who argued for a single slab GST must realise that a single slab is possible only in extremely affluent countries where there are no poor people. It would be inequitable to apply a single rate in countries where there are a large number of people below the poverty line. The direct tax is a progressive tax. The more you earn, the more you pay. An indirect tax is a regressive tax. In the pre-GST regime, the rich and the poor, on various commodities, paid the same tax. The multiple slab system not only checked inflation, it also ensured that the Aam Aadmi products are not exorbitantly taxed. Illustratively, a Hawai chappal and a Mercedes car cannot be taxed at the same rate. This is not to suggest that the rationalisation of slabs is not needed. That process is already on. Except on luxury and sin goods, the 28% slab has almost been phased out. Zero and 5% slabs will always remain. As revenue increases further, it will give an opportunity to policy makers to possibly merge the 12% and 18% slab into one rate, thus, effectively making the GST a two rate tax. 

The Role of the GST Council

The GST Council is India’s first statutory federal institution. The Centre and the States jointly sit and decide. Both have pooled their fiscal rights in a collective forum to create one common market. My own experience of two years while chairing the GST Council, was that Finance Ministers’ of States, notwithstanding the political position their parties take, have displayed a high level of statesmanship and acted with maturity. The Council worked on the principle of consensus. This has added to the credibility of the decision making process. I am sure this trend will continue in future.

To Thrive, Don’t Bribe: Marketer to Tech Journey of Suumit Shah Proves To Be A Success

The India Saga Saga |

To thrive, Don’t bribe, 

You will reach the destination either today or tomorrow, just try to capture something which is totally out of your row.

A young marketer who used to watch something called buying and selling every day would have never thought that he might try something out of the line. Actually, no one does but that’s where we lack behind. Suumit Shah, a young mind filled with fresh hopes. A person who started his career from companies like Housing.com and TinyOwl.com and went ahead seeing the demand in there.

I remember a small conversation with him. On being asked why into IT and the reasons for sudden shift from commerce to technology, all he answered was, Mam demand. Adding to this he said, the demand for what I felt therein made me take this decision. I really had very less knowledge about all these SEO things but for sure I had an idea about what a business lacks behind for. I knew that If they get better SEO services, they will thrive for its success without any other help.

True that his words were actually connecting to what was unexpected but his way of expression was clear. Such clarity with a totally new setup of something new was totally remarkable.

Talking about what he actually offered out to the world, we went ahead with the list of questions and asked him for his previously done work in the name of Risemetric, which was given a start in Nov 2014. This site was meant to provide services like Organic long term SEO, App Store optimisation, pay per click service, app development, etc.

Even from the very start, this young mind of Suumit Shah attracted bigger clients like McDonald’s, Sony and a few more big companies out there who need such service providers. The success made them move along and there came an idea of rankz.

So when asked of who are the CO-founders of this new tech idea, we got to know that there are 2 minds behind the same. Suumit and Subhash Choudhary his co-partner. They both worked really hard to make this company a big success. Not only this, they created a much better suite which might be provided by an Indian company at much better rates. Do you know the best part.? They didn’t stop till the boundary line of one’s nation this time, they went ahead. USA and Spain, these were the 2 focus areas which were covered by them and the sales and services, both have increased since then. Profits are good and also Suumit said he expected to earn 1000USD per month, in the upcoming time.

This start was a success because of the hard work and firm determination of its makers. The website of rankz offers its customers with vide amount of services. It makes them get above the competitive market by making their keywords search more better than those of competitors. They provide services like rank tracker, PR distribution network, backlinks profiling, content discovery, etc.

According to the data checked, the business of tech is flourishing out there with more than 270k words tracked, 600+ press releases distributed and more than 250+ clients who are satisfied even when the business is just in its starting stage. This is truly an incredible way of reaching out to people. 

The price of $19.99 per month is also not that much a spend for people looking out for such great services. For me and for the ones I know, they are all ready to make their business a step ahead at this rate.

So, this shows that this young mind not only created a space in the world out there of marketing but also made an incredible start creating out places in everyone’s heart. A marketer to tech journey of Suumit proves to be a success because of not just his background but also because of the hard work and dedication of both the co-founders, Suumit and Subhash.

Raj Shamani: That Useless Kid Who Is Now One Of The Top 5 Young Influencers In India

The India Saga Saga |

“We all know what to do but still choose not to”, affirms the 22-year old motivational speaker, Raj Shamani.

Keeping this slogan as the motivation for himself, Raj Shamani is currently one of the top 5 young influencers of India. Grew up as a young boy in India, no one ever thought that this so-called “useless kid” will be awarded the “Most Promising Future” amongst his peers.

Dreams Do Come True!

Raj comes out amidst the people who have no great shakes in their lives and are totally unclear about where this life is taking them to. He had dreams but highly vague direction. His thirst for knowledge, travel, learning, and success kept him going no matter how many hardships came his way.

Grades don’t define anything!

Stumbled through his school life, discouraged and disheartened with the frequently called derogatory comments “useless” and “lazy”. Today, he will make you believe in yourself much more than you do and feel special and noteworthy while you experience his journey from being one of those teenagers who are just too lazy to do anything, till such fascinating things he has done in no time.

TedX – The Name is enough

Raj has had three sessions with Ted, first was in Alma mater in India, the other was in the world’s best college for entrepreneurship in Boston, USA and the third was in India’s top Management institute at IIM Ranchi. Raj is one of the youngest Indians to speak at the United Nations Assembly in Vienna. He has been recognized as an “International Keynote Speaker”. Since he realized his potential years ago, he has inspired thousands of people in over 23 countries all over the world.

Founder of Shamani Industries, one of the fastest growing FMCG businesses in Central India, Raj believes in personal branding and social media is a game changer in today’s world and that’s why his mission is to equip people with industry’s best knowledge and help them find opportunities through social media.

From nothing to Inspiration to so many!

Raj Shamani is truly a great example to every teenager in this country. Most of us can relate to his early school life with ours but then he differentiated his path from the rest. Voice with Raj is free, yes free service provided by this excellent speaker. A useless and not so bright kid is now ruling the stages on many global events like representing India in the United Nations summit, which is just one of his many achievements.

Follow what your heart says, Money will follow..

He recently turned down an offer in 2018 to join one of the biggest speaker’s agencies with a very attractive salary. He declined the offer choosing instead to go to small cities in Europe and help teenagers become more confident and self-aware.

Even after having a side family business he mainly wants to focus on making kids feel important about themselves especially in a society that is quick to judge and demotivate young people.

To him what is really important is –

“It doesn’t matter how much money I make or how many cars I have, what matters is how I make others feel about themselves” — Raj Shamani.

Sumeet Jindal funded Postman News celebrates 2 years of success!

The India Saga Saga |

In the evolving curiosity of news seekers, social media has become quite an important part of people’s daily life. This has provided many media platforms to help all those unheard voices seeking opportunities to reach down to the heart of the public. Seeing this as an opportunity, Sumeet Jindal aged 25, young entrepreneur, conceived an idea of developing a new media platform named Postman News evolved with a keen eye on the world demands. 

The 2-year-old startup has been able to become a voice to all unheard with words but now have opportunities. They were provided the inspired, initiatives, by partnering up and motivated them towards the future for better. 

In just a matter of 2 years what they sought seemed to get a positive response by means of increased views and an outgrowing awareness among people about them. The venture on today’s date flourishes with followers of 1 million and still gaining more.

On today’s date, the newcomers don’t get much of a chance but definitely, Postman news attracted the eyes because of their uniqueness. This Delhi based venture has not only seen huge growth in such small time but also provided great platforms to many start-ups and youths. With the growing reach and acceptance on social media, the venture, Postman News has been able to be the media partners for many events happening in the country. Whether it is launch of Golfing Nation Golf Championship 2018, by the legendary cricketer, Kapil Dev or it is a Comedy show of Guptaji (Appurv Gupta, Standup Comedian) or it may be Udyami 2019, a startup conclave summit organized by Punjab University., and many such events were supported and became a great success, by the co-operation of Postman news. This is really an amazing hand of help for all, according to a few surveys conducted and the reviews received.

The founder of Postman News, Mr Sumeet Jindal who is himself a blogger, knew what it feels like to be unheard and all those willing words but somewhere hidden words, need to come out and his platform was his target to give opportunities to those untold stories which are left unheard and never got fair recognition in the outer world. The venture has been funded by the founder Sumeet Jindal with the initial funding of 1 Million and been able to generate enough revenues to avoid outside funding and leading to complete ownership controls.

The founder of this venture Mr. Sumeet Jindal, aged25 was also called up to speak at the Start-up Conclave 2019, conducted by the Ambalika Institute of Management, Lucknow. There he inspired not only the students but also showed them their path to excel. Mr Sumeet by his words explained to the people that bareness in terms of law can be difficult to understand sometimes but it is always good. 

The venture is working on the ideology of “No masala, No mix” with all that was real, the founder wanted the people to read the unchanged or non-spiced up news. The team consists of some good editors and ex-journalists who were supported by means of such initiative and are creating a name out there in the world with this platform which is growing out like a beast. The level of trust again is another reason for this venture’s success. It shows how important that is, among the people we work with. The right attitude towards truth-seeking initiative among alike is one of those reasons why people are actually willing to follow their lead. All this was done because according to this soul- If we all come up together like this, we will all be creating a better place of truth and something which will be beyond imagination.

Well, just like other venture, it was not easy for them and they did face many issues. One of which was the IT framework of the portal but giving up was never a part of their practice. So, all around we see is positivity and nothing more than that.

Apart from every other thing, we find that opportunities are being given by Sumeet for something alike, the new bloggers and writers, who needed a platform to speak. An initiative of recognition for one of the most ignored section of the society again helped out the people who were waiting for something like this platform. They were inspired, they were supported, by every means.

“One Nation – One Ration Card” To Be Implemented By Mid of 2020 In The Whole Country: Paswan

The India Saga Saga |

The Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Ram Vilas Paswan today asserted that the Government is going to implement “One nation-one ration card” scheme in the whole country by 30th June, 2020. Paswan said, while addressing media in New Delhi that work on linking all the ration cards all over the country with Aadhar cards and organizing food grain distribution mechanism in its entirety through Point of Sale (PoS) machine is in the final stage.

Currently, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana and Tripura are 10 states where 100% POS machines have been arranged for grain distribution and all PDS shops have been connected to the Internet. Now, in these states any beneficiary can take grain from any public distribution system shop in that state. Paswan stated that arrangements are being made to ensure that by August 15, 2019, beneficiaries of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Gujarat and Maharashtra will be able to take ration from anywhere in both states.

The Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution asserted that work is being done on war footing to ensure “One Nation One Ration Card” scheme is implemented across the nation and for that data of all ration cards will be connected to one server and any beneficiary, anywhere in the country, will be able to pick up their grain from any public distribution system of their choice after 30th June, 2020.

Union Minister Shri Ram Vilas Paswan, in a recently held meeting with State Food Secretaries and State government officials along with officials of Food Corporation of India (FCI), Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) and State Warehousing Corporations (SWCs) on 27th June, reviewed the progress of this work. (Link for PIB press release: http://pib.nic.in/PressReleseDetail.aspx?PRID=1576014). Paswan issued instructions to State government officials to ensure that special arrangements were made for the distribution of ration to the migrant population within the next two months in some of the major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and other major cities in Maharashtra where the proportion of migrant population is high.

The Minister said work is in the final stage for integrating the entire public distribution system with the Depots online system (DOS)to ensure the seamless working of the National Food Security Act and bringing further transparency in the storage and distribution process of food grains.FCI will provide an internet gateway for integrating DOS with State governments within 4 months. After that, within 2 months, States will integrate their Warehouse Management Systems with DOS. The Union Minister issued instructions to the officials of the Department of Food and PD to continuously review the progress made in this regard.

Ram Vilas Paswan further stated that the work done by the department of Food and Public Distribution is very important and it is almost a lifeline for the beneficiaries wherein 612 lakh ton of food grains stored in warehouses of FCI, CWC, SWCs and private godowns are distributed among 81 crore beneficiaries annually. Shri Paswan asserted that focus is on use of Information Technology right from the time of procurement of food grains till its distribution which will help in increasing the overall efficiency of the entire process, while maintaining transparency and curbing corruption.

FCI has implemented the Depot Online System (DOS) in all its 563 warehouses and CWC has implemented it in 144 depots. Apart from this, procurement of food grains by the FCI has also been made online while purchase, storage and distribution system of most States has been made online in some form or the other.

Paswan emphasized that it is imperative that there is a seamless flow of information online between FCI and States and therefore they need to be integrated so that exact information on procurement and distribution across the nation is available. The Union Minister insisted that there should be a system for storage of all such qualitative and quantitative information which can then be accessed through the ‘annavitran’ portal and the specially designed dashboard which he personally monitors in the morning meetings with senior officials of the Ministry.
