As per the ruling given by the Supreme Court of India the women employees in the government offices are now entitled to 730 days leave at a stretch especially to take care of their children below 18 years age. The ruling envisages the care not only for the children in the cradle but even those going to school. The women employees also may have the option of combining the leave due to them in other categories as per their needs. It was a long felt need of the lady staff in the government offices and they have now got it with the Supreme Court intervening in the matter. Much better it was if the government had taken such a decision at their own without the Court’s intervention. Better still it could be if the ruling so given is allowed to be applied to women employees in other sectors too in the country in the case of both public and private undertakings including banks where there is a large number of the women employees working all over the country.

Election fever:
Rampant in its fullest steam the election fever is there throughout the country in India with all concerned awe fully busy in their efforts to secure the best possible score mustering whatever strength they have at their command. Polling has taken place at many a places in different states of the country and for the rest the Election Commission is working in its full gear to execute their mission. Credit goes to T,N. Seshan who headed the then Election Commission much earlier to secure laurels for conducting free and fair elections in the country and the pattern he set is fortunately duly followed by his successors. Dealing directly with the bullies in politics is not an easy task but Election Commission is doing its best to see that the general elections are conducted virtually in a free and fair measure. Voters get this chance, sort of a veto in their hands, once in five years and naturally they are anxious enough to exercise their right in most positive a way this time. You talk to any body in the streets and it reveals that people of the country are all prepared to elect only those who could form a stable government at the Centre. Let all of us wish that what they cherish gets materialised in tangible terms and India emerges as most powerful a government with a great global status.

Unprecedented heights in share market–what does it indicate?
Indian share market is establishing continuously unprecedented heights and it appears to have reached its saturation point or may be it further goes on setting new dimensions of achievements. It was a record high of Sensex at the close of business on 9/4/2014 when it culminated to 22,702.34 points with the day’s plus as 358.89 followed by Nifty at 6,796.20 with the day’s gain as 101.15. For traders such a trend is certainly a matter of their hay days but the question is as to how long it may continue like this. Better it goes higher and higher and there lies the interest of the traders but share market always has a tendency of bigger fluctuations –higher the trend, bigger are the chances of drowning down to the lower levels with increased risk factor for the investors. Those who are the experts in the field can manage the situation but the investors who happen to be just the lay men in the field find it absolutely tough to balance their deals. Let us wish that the current trend continues further in days to come but the traders have to be on guard against a bumper downfall which may occur any moment any day.

Banks can no more penalise customers just on minimum balance:
Bankers in India have a practice of imposing penalty on the customers whose savings bank account balances go down the minimum balance level prescribed for the purpose. It is a sigh of relief for those customers whose savings bank account(s) balance is below the minimum prescribed after Reserve Bank of India issued the directions to do away with the penalty resorting to cutting down certain special services like cheque book instead. The directive so released reads like this:
- “Banks should not take undue advantage of customer difficulty or inattention. Instead of levying penal charges for non maintenance of minimum balance in ordinary savings bank accounts banks should limit services available on such accounts to those available to basic savings bank deposit account and restore the services when the balances improve to the minimum required level”.

Privacy on internet–How safe?
Those who care more for privacy may not find internet a safe place. It is a different matter that despite this snag internet has become most popular a tool for any job one has in mind throughout the world. A survey conducted by BBC reveals that there are 52% of the people all over the world who feel panicky while using internet for different social purposes think as they do that privacy element badly lacks there. In India the scenario is somewhat different as there are 67% of the users who comfortably operate it with the confidence that their privacy is quite safe. What in fact the privacy factor has to do once one decides to socialise his/ her dealings publicly? Actually speaking the internet services are harnessed in most of the cases for publicising their work. If privacy is that dear to some, why the hell they should use the internet at all. Internet is a great publicity tool and those who don’t want to be away from the confines of privacy better they refrain from using it. Internet is capable of playing wonders just on a click and it is a boon for the modern age having such a magic like tool.

Conserving water:
Most vital a factor as it is for humans and animals or say any live being in the world, water needs to be saved and conserved at any cost. Only a few days back it was World Water Day celebrated every where. Let such celebrations be not confined to a ritual only and the Day requires the people to commit themselves to a resolve on saving water without permitting any kind of wastage in whatsoever manner. Any excuse on wasting water should be out of question. The humans, all other live beings including animals on earth breathe for their life and so is their need of water to survive. Even trees, plants and any vegetation can’t retain their greenery without water as their very survival entirely rests on water only. Water is a life saving property and none can justify its wastage. Restraint on wastage apart, it is call of the Nature for the mankind to strive hardest possible to save it and conserve it by harnessing the requisite methodology for the purpose.
