28. Indian Textile and Apparel Industry

The Indian textile and apparel sector is very critical to the Indian economy, as this sector accounts for around 8% of GDP, contributes 14% of the value addition in the manufacturing sector and more than 30% of the export earnings of the country. Besides, it is the single-largest employer with an estimated workforce of 35 million. Industrial liberalization in the domestic economy since 1991 has been followed by changes in the global environment. The abolition of licensing controls on the Indian industry and Uruguay Round negotiations resulting in a ten-year phase out of textile and apparel export quotas under the 'Agreement on Textiles and Clothing' (ATC) posed a great opportunity and challenge to the Indian industry.

Through the transitional process embodied in the ATC, this sector was fully integrated into WTO rules by January 1, 2005. In particular, the extensive and complex system of bilateral restraints came to an end, and importing countries are no longer able to discriminate between exporters by applying safeguard measures to individual countries. With the opening of textile and apparel markets in post-2004; the trade is set to offer opportunities as well as challenges to various players in world's textile and apparel markets. It can be termed as an opportunity as with the phasing-out of the quota system, restrictions in trade are removed, and wider access to world consumption markets is possible for manufacturers and exporters of textile and apparel. The phasing-out of quotas is perceived as a threat to the industry as an assured market based upon quotas linked with past performance or relationships, etc. is ruled out.

India has emerged as one of the main textile and apparel exporting countries in the Asian region, and is competing with China, Turkey, Bangladesh, Mexico, Korea and other Asian countries. This has made it necessary for the Indian textile and apparel industry to understand the opportunities and challenges in a WTO era. The strategies for being competitive in the WTO period are to be formulated with the assessment of opportunities as well as challenges.
This study provides understanding of areas where emphasis is required in a post-MFA scenario and where planning needs to be done for making the Indian textile and apparel industry competitive in world textile and apparel trade. The study is based on analyses of secondary data and primary data collection of survey of garment exporters, fabric manufacturers and buying houses. Garment exporters from all major manufacturing centers in India have been covered in the survey of garment exporters.

The respondents among garment exporters were drawn from among the top 500 garment exporters consisting of 2.37% of the total number of garment exporters registered with the Apparel Export Promotion Council. This study provides understanding of areas where emphasis is required in a post-MFA scenario and where planning needs to be done for making the Indian textile and apparel industry competitive in world textile and apparel trade. The study is based on analyses of secondary data and primary data collection of survey of garment exporters, fabric manufacturers and buying houses.

Garment exporters from all major manufacturing centers in India have been covered in the survey of garment exporters. The respondents among garment exporters were drawn from among the top 500 garment exporters consisting of 2.37% of the total number of garment exporters registered with the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC). About 31% of the sample belonged to the top 200 garment exporters. There were 145 responses from garment exporters drawn from the Garment Exporter's list (AEPC, 2003) of top 500 exporters. The respondents among fabric manufacturers consisted of 69 respondents drawn from the mill sector (42% representation and of the unorganized sector (58% representation). Similarly, the sample consists of 38 respondents drawn from the list of 100 buying houses of AEPC. The findings of study are summarized below:
Opportunities in Post-MFA Period
T-shirts, men's shirts, women's blouses, women's dresses and trousers are categories with almost similar response from respondents showing a good future potential for them after quota removal. However, there are categories such as women's skirts and jackets where there are comparatively lesser expectations from buying houses for expansion of trade from India in the post-MFA period (Figure 1); garment exporters hope to have a good market for women's skirts too. The jacket category is not expected to be very important for India. Research findings also indicate that buying houses perceive imported fabrics as superior to fabrics from India.

This, coupled with the fact that a substantial percentage of the cost of garments is of the fabric, the Indian garment industry has an opportunity in categories where it has a good raw material base. The relative extent of expectations for each category by the respondents is depicted by the following radar diagram. The reasons can be attributed to the non-availability of fabrics for jackets and outerwear at competitive prices. Figure 2 shows that MMF and special woven fabrics have a high proportion in fabrics being imported into India. This affects pricing of the Indian apparel industry for these items in the world's markets.

Garment exporters have expressed their opinion that the value addition in terms of embroidery, printed and bead work followed by appliqu will provide growth opportunity in the post-MFA period for apparel trade. Buying houses indicate zari, bead work, Schiffli embroidery and printed as type(s) of value addition to become important in the post-quota period. The analysis reflects that embroidery, bead work and printed designs are common types of value addition in apparel items being indicated by garment exporters as well as buying nouses.

The study indicates that pure cotton followed by cotton/poly ester blend is the fiber composition with an emerging potential in the post-MFA period. Other synthetic fiber blends are also expected to provide opportunities in the post-MFA period. This response is associated with India's focus on pure cotton, and it is expected to continue. However, as indicated in Figure 3, higher growth in world trade is expected in MMF in comparison to cotton, while the fiber mix analysis of India's production The secondary research (Figure 5) indicates that world trade is moving towards processed fabrics, while India's trade is concentrated on gray fabrics, which leads to lower price realization. The analysis of composition of world trade indicates that around 73% of trade consists of processed fabrics, while India's trade is predominantly of gray fabrics (34% of trade).

The comparison of UVR (US$) for fabrics indicate (Figure 6) low price realization for the Indian fabric processing industry. It indicates less competitiveness of the Indian textile industry due to its focus not being on value added (i.e. processed) fabrics. and exports (Figure 3) indicates concentration on cotton. The findings of the survey of garment exporters and buying houses indicate (Figure 4) that mill-made fabrics are expected to become important in the post-quota period followed by knitted fabrics. Buyers are going to be more demanding due to the availability of more options in a competitive scenario leading to the requirement of better quality raw material for the apparel sector. This is further established through research that fabrics from the organized sector (mill made) are perceived to have better performance against most of the parameters, while making a sourcing decision by an apparel firm.

25. StartYour Own Photography Business from Home

Anyone with the right camera equipment, and the necessary skills can set up a home business, marketing photography. You need only to convert a room of your house into an office, and then you can work immediately. With modern technology in the form of SLR digital cameras, you do not even need the room for a dark room. You need only to have a personal computer and a photo-editing program. The standard is Adobe Photoshop.It is not necessary to clutter yourself with equipment you do not need. You can hire equipment on and when you need it basis. You have the freedom to work part time for a while until you can devote yourself full time to photography.

All you need to be is a serious photographer. There are two types of photographers that makes their living from photography, the serious photographer and the very serious photographer. You can always bookmark this link and then you can quickly access just about all you'll ever need from here.Whilst the technical skills needed to make a successful photographer have never been easier, other aspects have changed the business. The market for photographs of virtually every type has widened, the world seems to have an insatiable appetite for photographs. However the price has fallen as the marketing net has broadened.

Photographers are needed in many more fields. For instance many people use car web sites, they simply did not exist ten years ago, and they sell their products as a result of photography. Cameras used by scuba diver’s are now an excellent quality, and whilst they are initially expensive, they have forged a new market. People celebrate special occasions more with photography, than they did years ago. The travel and advertising markets have a greater need for landscape, travel and nature shots.It is now easier than ever to turn your dream into reality and create a worthwhile business out of an engrossing hobby.

However in today’s modern world there is more to it than simply pointing a camera, and shooting a picture. You need to be aware of marketing techniques, and here marketing simply means transferring ownership of a product, in this case an image from a buyer to seller. You also need to be aware of any local gaps in the market in your local area. You should also try to be on top of your competitor’s prices, to undercut an existing photographer is one choice, but to neglect to value your skills and not charge enough to cover your overheads is another matter entirely. Remember this, its an important point.Use your skills to the best advantage of the business and define what you want from it.

Writing a business plan helps to keep you focused on the areas you specifically want to exploit. A business plan helps you to define your goals and strategies, it will be changed and updated, but it will help you, to keep things in perspective. You can then refer back to it when things become confusing or complicated. Everyone’s business plan will be different, as every objective will be different, but there are certain common factors that make up a good business plan which will help your business grow. It allows you to develop a professional attitude to your business, which not only helps you to increase your earnings, but also help you to finance your business.For the photographer it should include, your business name, or your own, with full details of the proposed location of the business, a copy of your logo, as well as details of your copyright notices.

What is the form of your proposed business (sole ownership, partnership, Limited Liability Company or Corporation). This should be followed by a table of contents, which focuses on a logical order. There are resources that will give you further details on such as profitable-photography.comIncluded after this should be the type of business you intend to pursue, in a fair amount of detail, and it should contain the services you intend to offer. This section should include any future gaols or avenues you would like to explore, stating your clear objectives. This is so you can check at a later date whether your objectives are on course, or if you have got sidetracked.

If you envisage at any time you may need financial help, then you should include your personal business history.You should also state a clear and concise marketing plan that should demonstrate how your business will differentiate from the businesses of your competitors. You should be able to establish whom your customers will be, as well as where your market will be, as in wholesale or retail or a combination of both. You should also be able to determine how long this type of market will be available to yourself.The next section should clearly define your opposition, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

This should include the ways you may be able to exploit any gaps in the market in the specific area where you live. A section should follow this on how you intend to market and promote your individual services.A financial segment should be included as to how you intend to manage the day-to-day bills of the business. How you intend to price your services, and what factors influence this pricing structure, which includes a section on your competitor’s financial structures. This means a fair amount of detective work as well as homework. Get your friends to ask from quotes from the local competition. Or try an even more direct approach, tell your competitor’s that you intend to start a new business, and that you do not want to undercut them, as this reduces the cake for everyone.

They may well offer to help you construct a pricing structure that ensures everyone’s livelihood. It is in their interests to help. Not everyone will be cooperative, but it may mean you can get a truer picture of the market factors that govern your area.Make a list of all the equipment you will need in your first year, as well as how and where you intend to purchase. Note any difficulties that may arise in obtaining your supplies. Note whether the prices of your supplies have a seasonal fluctuation, that may help you influence you when to buy.

You should make a note of any local licenses that will be necessary, as well as any zoning restrictions, that may restrict the growth of your business. Your neighbours may not be thrilled at a procession of customer’s to your door, check whether they can restrict your services. Make a study of all your business insurance requirements.The final segment should be devoted to how you intend to finance the growth of your business, as well as isolating what your financial needs will be. This should include a projection on your future earnings, as well as an accurate assessment of your outgoings’

This should be assessed on a monthly basis for the first year, and on an annual basis for the following three years. An important aspect of the financial statement is an assessment of the break-even point of your business, in other words the minimum you will have to take to pay your expenses.The purpose of this documentation is to allow you to enunciate what the core elements of your business will be, in doing this it should help you to be able to quickly evaluate the success of your business objectives. If you are not clear on your objectives then you cannot possibly make a plan to bring about the success of those objectives.

23. home based data entry jobs

The economies that cheap labor create make India a great destination for companies that outsource work. There are many areas of work that do not really require special educational qualifications or training or experience to be able to achieve. Data entry job work is one such area of employment. However, it should be noted that while most forms of data-entry do not require any special knowledge in the area of the company’s business, many other forms of data-processing and data-entry do require some technical knowledge in the field. In the case of the latter if the company that hires you cannot or will not provide you with the information or knowledge you need in the form of training programs then these jobs will not be possible for you to take up.

In recent years, Western countries realized the value of outsourcing projects to different countries where labor is not as expensive. In addition to saving them the cost of labor, outsourcing jobs also leaves the main professionals in the company with sufficient time tot be able to focus on the main functioning of the companies. In India, while some forms of outsourcing existed even decades ago, the development of the Internet and relaxed Governmental policies has really led to a boom in this area.

This has given rise to many new job opportunities in the form of home based data entry jobs in India today. One of the reasons that data entry home jobs are popular is that they afford employees the opportunity of working in the comfort of their own homes. In addition, employees enjoy being master of their own schedules and working as hard as they need to. Many data-entry operators in India are homemakers, full-time mothers or existing employees of other firms trying to make a supplementary income.

These jobs are also a great way for college students to earn an income while studying.Doing data-entry jobs from home can hence be very advantageous. The radical advances in the field of telecommunications and the Indian government’s new policies in respect of global free trade in the area of services have created many new business opportunities. Remote or long-distance processing is a rapidly booming industry worldwide. Basically, in principle, this means that office jobs in countries like America and the UK can now be done by employees in India. In addition, data-entry work from home reduces the employers’ costs.

Employers no longer have to worry about making expensive investments in the costs of workspaces and other related overheads. One can also think of starting one’s own online business, but one must be cautious in this area. There are many fraudulent companies that offer tempting profits but could end up costing an over-zealous individual rather than earning them an income. Never pay to get started on data-entry work or agree to pay for registering. These are mostly the clues that point to a fraudulent company. Some companies even offer trials so that you can see if you are cut out for that kind of work.

22. To open up small scale industry
Moving to liberalise small-scale industries (SSIs), the is all set to remove a restrictive clause in a 1951 law that prevented non-SSI players from setting up small units. The number of items reserved for small-scale industries will remain the same at 114 but the restrictive clause will go.
Speaking at the Idea Exchange hosted by The Indian Express today, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath said: “We are in the process of issuing a notification regarding SSIs’ reservation.

At present, no big industrial house, whether domestic or foreign, can have more than 24 per cent. That is being removed now. The idea is that our SSIs must have access to technology and capital.” The notification, under the Industrial (Development) Regulation Act of 1951, was tabled in Lok Sabha yesterday and in Rajya Sabha today. “This needs to be on the table of the House for 30 days,” Nath said. Once the notification clears Parliament, SSIs would only be defined on the basis of one definition — capital investments of up to Rs 5 crore in plant and machinery.

Explaining its implications, Nath said: “This is important because we have got to modernise our SSIs. It is not that some reservations that are there would go away. Excise and other benefits will remain. The SSI sector needs foreign equity.” “If today someone wants to set up an SSI unit and ancillary units, they cannot fund it because it is not allowed. Now there is no limit. They can own an SSI. FDI would be allowed, but it will be governed by the investment policy. So if a large industry is allowed 51 per cent in that sector, then they will also be allowed 51 per cent in SSIs as well.”

This move is important in the context of the government’s continuing efforts to move surplus labour from agriculture to industry. “The big challenge is no more generating or earning foreign exchange which was the case 15 years ago, but generation of employment. In the end, the question (about policies) is if they would multiply employment generation. In my view, any investment that generates additional economic activity is great,”.

21. Housekeeping Jobs
Hospital housekeeping jobs are listed as one of the top places to work in housekeeping. They tend to have great benefits, good, competitive pay and a low turnover rate because those employed in hospital housekeeping jobs rate them as highly in these areas and in job satisfaction. If you are searching for hospital housekeeping jobs, there are a number of things that you can do to help you in your search.

The first place we suggest starting when searching for hospital housekeeping jobs in the internet.
More and more businesses are turning to the internet to list jobs. Since there are so many hospital housekeeping jobs listed, it will be beneficial to you to narrow your search by area, such as state or city. If you are interested in specific hospitals or medical centers, you can often find hospital housekeeping jobs posted on their website.

Since some hospitals, post jobs internally before advertising to the community, if you have a contact at a specific hospital, ask them to keep an eye out for possible hospital housekeeping jobs that are recently posted. One of the best ways to get a job is to let the hospital or medical center know about you and your interest in working in hospital housekeeping jobs at their hospital. Contact housekeeping or maintenance at the hospital and ask about job applications.

Many hospitals will accept applications for hospital housekeeping jobs even if they don’t have any current positions open. If they already have your application on hand, you will likely be one of the first people called provided you are qualified for the job. Even if you turn in an application, call periodically to ask about hospital housekeeping jobs so that they know you are still interested. With so many hospitals and medical centers across the country you should have no trouble finding hospital housekeeping jobs provided you are willing to put some effort in your job search.

20. Teaching Jobs Overseas for Couples
Teaching couples are very popular with international school recruiters for many reasons but the main one is that couples can often work out cheaper to hire in the long run. This article however, is all about teaching jobs overseas from the viewpoint of the teaching couples, rather than the schools. Whether you are married or not you can look for jobs as a teaching couple, most schools do not discriminate against couples who do not have a marriage certificate. An obvious exception is schools in the Middle East. It is very difficult for non-married couples to land jobs in international schools in the Middle East, where governments’ regulations stipulate that couples seeking working visas produce a marriage certificate.

You may be able to find a way around this problem but it is unlikely that international school recruiters recruiting for schools in the Middle East are going to find non-married teaching couples an attractive employment prospect when compared to married ones. If you are in this situation, your best bet is to concentrate your job hunt on other regions in the world. When looking for a teaching job abroad as a couple, there are several options open to you: You can look for suitable teaching vacancies in international schools that will suit both you and your partner’s teaching skills.

This will involve finding schools that have vacancies for both of you, a task that is easier at the beginning of the recruiting season because schools have yet to fill their vacancies. Generally speaking December through to March is the best time for teaching couples to look for overseas teaching positions together in the same school. Teaching couples are hot employment prospects at this time because hiring a teaching couple has an impact on the benefits schools have to pay. Alternatively, you and your partner can look for teaching vacancies in international schools in the same cities

A number of teaching couples are lucky enough to find teaching jobs abroad in different schools in the same city. If you have not taught in the same school as your partner or spouse before, you may find this a better option for you. The most efficient method to find teaching jobs in different international schools in the same city is to attend an international teaching job fair. At an international teaching job fair you will find many school s from around the globe in the one location, all looking for teachers to fill their vacancies. Often you will find a number of recruiters from the same city at a job fair and it is possible to schedule interviews with each of them individually. At most job fairs you will also be able to see international school recruiters give presentations about their school and the working in the community.

This can help you make an informed decision about whether a school, city or country will be a good fit for you and your family. In a nutshell, teaching jobs overseas for couples are available and many international school recruiters actively look for teaching couples when they are recruiting. However, one of the first decisions you must make is whether you wish to teach in the same school as your spouse or partner and then hunt for teaching positions that suit your needs.

19. Handmade Paper

The world-wide demand for unique handmade paper and stationary products, on the part of both corporations and individual consumers, is growing rapidly as a result of increased concern for the protection of the environment, as well as of indigenous technologies and the cultural heritage of developing nations.

According to (Centre For The Promotion Of Import From Developing Countries) , which does extensive market research on LDC's (Least Developing Countries) export potential, every year the European Union imports stationary, handmade paper, and related products in amounts equal to U.S. $8.5 to 10 billion. Although neighboring countries such as Nepal and Thailand are among the largest exporters of handmade paper, they are still unable to meet the global demand

As a result, their outsourcing for such products is increasing steadily. Bangladesh is well suited to help meet this burgeoning demand. Jute and other natural fibers, the primary raw materials for handmade paper, are plentiful, as are the workers needed by this labor intensive sector.
While handmade paper was always a line item of the handicrafts sector JOBS has worked with since the beginning of its interventions in Bangladesh, the rapidly growing export potential has resulted in its being given increased attention as an independent sector.

The Project is working to address the lack of skilled manpower, innovative designs, and effective product development and marketing, especially to international markets, that are among the sector’s most urgent problems. JOBS is focusing its efforts on experienced enterprises with good potential and has organized a number of skill development training sessions, and found experts to provide the design development assistance and specialized training needed to meet the requirements of international markets. The Project is also assisting in accessing new markets through participating in international trade fairs.

18. Opticians, Dispensing
Dispensing opticians fit eyeglasses and contact lenses, following prescriptions written by ophthalmologists or optometrists. (The work of is described in a statement elsewhere in the Handbook. See the statement on for information about ophthalmologists.) Dispensing opticians examine written prescriptions to determine the specifications of lenses. They recommend eyeglass frames, lenses, and lens coatings after considering the prescription and the customer's occupation, habits, and facial features.

Dispensing opticians measure clients' eyes, including the distance between the centers of the pupils and the distance between the surface and the lens. For customers without prescriptions, dispensing opticians may use a lensometer to record eyeglass measurements. They also may obtain a customer's previous record or verify a prescription with the examining optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Dispensing opticians prepare work orders that give ophthalmic laboratory technicians information needed to grind and insert lenses into a frame. The work order includes prescriptions for lenses and information on their size, material, color, and style. Some dispensing opticians grind and insert lenses themselves. After the glasses are made, dispensing opticians verify that the lenses have been ground to specifications.

Then they may reshape or bend the frame, by hand or using pliers, so that the eyeglasses fit the customer properly and comfortably. Some also fix, adjust, and refit broken frames. They instruct clients about adapting to, wearing, or caring for eyeglasses. Some dispensing opticians specialize in fitting contacts, artificial eyes, or cosmetic shells to cover blemished eyes. To fit contact lenses, dispensing opticians measure the shape and size of the eye, select the type of contact lens material, and prepare work orders specifying the prescription and lens size. Fitting contact lenses requires considerable skill, care, and patience

Dispensing opticians observe customers' eyes, corneas, lids, and contact lenses with special instruments and microscopes. During several visits, opticians show customers how to insert, remove, and care for their contacts. Opticians do all this to ensure that the fit is correct. Dispensing opticians keep records on customers' prescriptions, work orders, and payments; track inventory and sales; and perform other administrative duties.

17. Medical Laboratory Technician
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) generally refers to a quality system of management controls for laboratories and research organizations that regulates how non-clinical safety studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived. It ensures the consistency and reliability of results for submissions to the USFDA, the OECD and other national organizations.

This two-day course is designed for all Scientists (managerial and laboratory), Regulatory Affairs and Compliance personnel who are active in pre-clinical studies. It will be of most benefit to professionals whose job function necessitates the generation, evaluation, assurance and submission of data from pre-clinical studies. Principal Investigators, Study Directors, Study Monitors and professionals aspiring to these positions will derive benefit from the course.

This course is also useful for quality assurance and quality control managers, coordinators of multi-site projects, regulatory affairs professionals, auditors, and senior management interested in effective QA techniques. New and experienced staff from the food, pharmaceutical, agrochemical and cosmetics industries will learn the fundamental principles and applications of GLP, particularly in the complex multi-site environments of today’s industry.

This course will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the terminology, regulations and mandated practices for GLP testing and compliance. Those attending will get a thorough briefing of the relevance of accurate documentation, calibration and maintenance of instruments and validation of relevant methodology. Special attention will be paid to the critical compliance aspects of gathering pre-clinical data in a regulated environment.
Also included is a discussion of functions related to Quality Assurance Unit responsibilities and the need to effectively audit for regulatory compliance. Successful audits are often a result of good planning and interaction between QA staff and management. This course will cover a range of audit activities (internal and external) including responsibilities and requirements for compliance (plus those required at collaborator sites), records management, GLP special requirements, archiving of data and inspections.

16. Advertising jobs

The advertising industry has a voracious appetite for creativity and talent. Though the industry is said to be in its infant stage as compared to the western world it has been receptive to the changing times. There is a perennial demand of talent in the industry. Shuffling of personnel from one agency to another is still on. The client-servicing arena is very crucial. They are the delicate link between the client and the agency. Communication skills are tested here, as they have to communicate to the agency the mind of the client. Vacancies in this field call for individuals who go out into the market to get the right brief and then sell the ideas. The job market opens its arms to embrace this category. As it is through them that businesses can grow. Their sharp minds and shrewd conversations can make agencies opens their doors wide to growth.

Media personnel have grown from the minuscule one-man-army that would handle release orders, negotiate deals and send material to a full-fledged part of any agency. So vast has this faculty developed that media houses too are floated and have gotten a name for themselves. Full-fledged buying and media planning is carried out in these agencies. Simply translating to a demand for media personnel. As a beginner you get to do the basic but experience enables you to negotiate deals with publications and talk your way to discounts.

The creative group is the foundation of a sound advertising agency. It includes Art Directors, Creative Directors, Visualisers, Copywriters and the mandatory DTP operators. For an entry in this category, you can enter at a trainee level. A basic stipend is paid. But if you are a quick learner and passionate about your work you will easily climb the echelons of success.
However the job market is quite tight in this category. You may get admitted at the lower levels easily but sheer quality is demanded at the top levels. The ever-increasing pressures at these levels expedite the exit from this category. No doubt vacancies loom in the corridors of the studio. However the pay packets get heavier as the workload and levels increase. Even a DTP can expect a 5 figure salary if he delivers good work.

Liberalization dawned and international goods have flooded the market. Competition has grown even more critical. Ad agencies now face competition on an international level from MNC brands. On the other hand if you end up with a job in a widely spread agency you can expect to be transferred overseas. Growth prospects are immense. India has become a hub for many nations. As products launch and grow so does the job market. And if lady luck is charmed with you, boundaries just disappear.

13. Fishery business
The government will once again promote fisheries in the state. For this, a 'fisheries friend'wouldbe appointed in each one of the 30 block headquarters."It has been decided that 'fisheries friends' will be deployed and assisted," said Trivendra Rawat, Agriculture Minister. He was speaking to reporters on Tuesday after attending a meeting of the State Fisheries Development Agency.

Rawat said that there was tremendous scope for fisheries in Uttarakhand. "Trout fish is sold at an exorbitant rate of Rs 700 a kilo in Delhi, and it can be hatched in the cold waters of Uttarakhand," he said.The minister added that a few entrepreneurs were doing very well in the Kumaon region. "Earlier, fish meal was expensive but now we are providing it at almost half the rate.

" The minister said that the fisheries development agency was making profits by selling fish from its six water reservoirs. "Our profit is to the tune of Rs 4 crore, and we expect it to grow," he said.Rawat said, to meet the growing demand in the state, fish was being brought in from the coastal areas. Against the demand of 22,000 metric tonnes of fish, the state was able to produce only 6,000 metric tonnes."

In the next five years, production should touch 12,000 metric tonnes and we have asked officials to ensure this." Rawat said the government would take stern action against officials failing to meet the target.

12. Arts & Business
The Arts & Business package launched to position the cultural sector during the economic downturn, builds on the commitments outlined in Arts & Business' recent consultation exercise (November 2008). The new offer focuses on the learning and development, knowledge and best practice needs of the sector. It includes bespoke training path ways; new sources of market intelligence aimed at ensuring cultural bodies have access to new streams of private investment and an increased campaign and lobbying presence.

Haines joins Arts & Business with twenty years of fundraising experience, most recently as a consultant and as Director of Marketing & Development at the RSA. Haines' role as Arts Director will see her building on existing strong relationships alongside the arts community; helping arts fundraisers develop innovative and flexible solutions in the face of this financial crisis and enhancing their visibility in the corporate sector. Verity Haines said: "I admire the way Arts & Business has led the creation of a mixed economy approach to cultural funding in the UK and want to help our cultural partners grow and deepen their support from the private sector.

The arts and the creative industries in the UK are a success story; but only by working alongside the private sector can we go from strength to strength. I now look forward to playing my part in driving forward Arts & Business's ambitions for developing the UK's cultural landscape. In these bleaker times, one thing is for sure, fundraisers need to be more committed and more tenacious than ever." Colin Tweedy, Chief Executive of Arts & Business, commented: "Money and getting the business side right enables the arts to flourish. Verity's breadth of knowledge and experience in all forms of fundraising will be invaluable to Arts & Business as we lead the arts and cultural sector through these chill economic times.

It is imperative that Arts & Business fights the cultural corner and continues to deliver the very best cultural fundraising expertise throughout the UK. As we prepare to launch our new offer to the arts and A&B's most recent analysis for private investment in the arts, I am delighted to have Verity here with us." Haines added: "Regardless of the economic climate we have to equip our cultural partners with the confidence, skills and nous to build long-term relationships with the private sector.

It takes two years for these partnerships to fully prosper. We need to perpetually hone our cultural partners' expertise through skills audits and ensure they have the knowledge, market analysis, development opportunities and best practice models to allow their partnerships with the corporate sector to thrive." Verity has over 20 year's experience of fundraising, 15 at senior management level, both in-house and as a consultant.

Having started her career as a studio manager in BBC Radio Arts and Current Affairs programmes, Verity moved into fundraising after taking a career break to bring up her two children. She worked for a number of major charities, including Save the Children Fund and Oxfam, before becoming Director of Corporate Programmes for the Archbishop of Canterbury's Church Urban Fund, where she helped secure an endowment fund of £3m.

In the mid-90s Verity moved into higher education, where she worked on establishing the major gifts and legacies programme at Cambridge University. Then as Foundation Director and Consultant for the National Film & Television School she helped facilitate the fundraising function operating internationally, raising £7m during her tenure. She continued in the cultural sector to become Director of Marketing & Development at the RSA where she created a new development strategy and managed the fundraising team to produce a £5m capital campaign and £1m annual revenue income from individuals, trusts and the business sector.

11. Glass Tiles
Art glass tiles” are a road less travelled. They are made by studio glass artists in smaller lots and are generally made specifically for a client or project. Generally these tiles can be customized specifically to a client's color, texture, style and size preferences and even incorporate custom designs to match other motifs in the room. For example, would you like your tiles to match certain fabrics, a specific paint color or type of stone? Would you like a continuous wall panel or smaller accent tiles? These are the types of variation that can be specified when ordering art glass tiles.

The versatility of art glass tiles textures and appearance is at best, very difficult to emulate on a manufacturing line. The glass artisan specializing in tiles has many glass colors and styles to choose from when creating these works of art just as a painter has myriad shades of colors on their palette. And as the application is specifically designed for, there might be a little more effort involved in having tiles “made to order”, but the result will truly be one-of-a-kind.

To stretch your budget, consider using factory glass tiles as the “field tiles” and mixing in custom art glass “accent tiles”. Field tiles make up the bulk of the tiles in any project whereas accent tiles can be incorporated in much smaller quantities. Glass Art accessories such as accent tiles are the ideal solution for enhancing any room. Combine glass with woods, metals and textiles to create dynamic, memorable interior designs.

Another possibility when working with glass tiles is matching your custom art glass tiles to custom glass vessel sinks or art glass lighting such as chandeliers, pendants and sconces. There are very few mediums that offer this type of design versatility. The work of glass artisans can be coordinated to go far beyond simple wall covering, to create several coordinating functional works of art for your home.

To explore the custom glass option that is right for you, you can go to favorite artists, or go to a custom glass dealer. Major tile dealers tend to deal in high volume sales, and are not usually positioned to offer art glass solutions. Instead, as art glass grows in popularity, and the internet is increasingly adopted as a low-cost distribution and promotion mechanism, we are seeing a trend towards glass art collectives and glass art dealers on the web. These organizations showcase the work of several artists; and provide services that range from simple sales channels to design support for integrated glass design for the home.

9. REFRIGETOR AND FREEZE

Before mechanical refrigeration systems were introduced, people cooled their food with ice and snow, either found locally or brought down from the mountains. The first cellars were holes dug into the ground and lined with wood or straw and packed with snow and ice: this was the only means of refrigeration for most of history. Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, to lower its temperature.

A refrigerator uses the evaporation of a liquid to absorb heat. The liquid, or refrigerant, used in a refrigerator evaporates at an extremely low temperature, creating freezing temperatures inside the refrigerator. It's all based on the following: - a liquid is rapidly vaporized (through compression) - the quickly expanding vapor requires kinetic energy and draws the energy needed from the immediate area - which loses energy and becomes cooler. Cooling caused by the rapid expansion of gases is the primary means of refrigeration today.

The first known artificial refrigeration was demonstrated by William Cullen at the University of Glasgow in 1748. However, he did not use his discovery for any practical purpose. In 1805, an American inventor, Oliver Evans, designed the first refrigeration machine. The first practical refrigerating machine was built by in 1834; it used ether in a vapor compression cycle. An American physician, John Gorrie, built a refrigerator based on Oliver Evans' design in 1844 to make ice to cool the air for his yellow fever patients. German engineer Carl von Linden, patented not a refrigerator but the process of liquifying gas in 1876 that is part of basic refrigeration technology.

Refrigerators from the late 1800s until 1929 used the toxic gases ammonia (NH3), methyl chloride (CH3Cl), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) as refrigerants. Several fatal accidents occurred in the 1920s when methyl chloride leaked out of refrigerators. Three American corporations launched collaborative research to develop a less dangerous method of refrigeration; their efforts lead to the discovery of . In just a few years, compressor refrigerators using Freon would became the standard for almost all home kitchens. Only decades later, would people realize that these chlorofluorocarbons endangered the ozone layer of the entire planet.

8. TELEVISION
In television's electromechanical era, commercially made television sets were sold from 1928 to 1934 in the United Kingdom, United States, and Russia. The earliest commercially made sets sold by Baird in the UK in 1928 were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a tube behind a mechanically spinning disk with a spiral of apertures that produced a red postage-stamp size image, enlarged to twice that size by a magnifying glass. The Baird "Televisor" was also available without the radio. The Televisor sold in 1930–1933 is considered the first mass-produced set, selling about a thousand units.

The first commercially made electronic television sets with were manufactured by in Germany in 1934, followed by other makers in France (1936), Britain (1936), and America (1938). The cheapest of the pre-World War II factory-made American sets, a 1938 image-only model with a 3-inch (8 cm) screen, cost125, the equivalent of1,863 in 2007. The cheapest model with a 12-inch (30 cm) screen was $445 ($6,633).

An estimated 19,000 electronic television sets were manufactured in Britain, and about 1,600 in Germany, before World War II. About 7,000–8,000 electronic sets were made in the U.S. before the halted manufacture in April 1942, production resuming in August 1945.
Television usage in the United States skyrocketed after with the lifting of the manufacturing freeze, war-related technological advances, the gradual expansion of the television networks westward, the drop in set prices caused by mass production, increased leisure time, and additional disposable income. While only 0.5% of U.S. households had a television set in 1946, 55.7% had one in 1954, and 90% by 1962. In Britain, there were 15,000 television households in 1947, 1.4 million in 1952, and 15.1 million by 1968.

For many years different countries used different technical standards. France initially adopted the German 441-line standard but later upgraded to 819 lines, which gave the highest picture definition of any analogue TV system, approximately double the resolution of the British 405-line system. However this is not without a cost, in that the cameras need to produce four times the pixel rate (thus quadrupling the bandwidth), from pixels one-quarter the size, reducing the sensitivity by an equal amount.

In practice the 819-line cameras never achieved anything like the resolution that could theoretically be transmitted by the 819 line system, and for color, France reverted to the same 625 lines as the European system. Eventually most of Europe switched to the 625-line standard, once more following Germany's example, with France adopting. Meanwhile in North America the original 525-line standard from 1941 was retained, although analog television will be totally replaced for broadcast purposes in February 2009.

3. Information technology

The Indian information and technology industry has played a key role in putting India on the global map. Thanks to the success of the IT industry, India is now a power to reckon with. According to the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the apex body for software services in India, the revenue of the information technology sector has grown from 1.2 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 1997-98 to an estimated 5.5 per cent in FY 2007-08.

The net value added by this sector, to the economy, is estimated to be 3.3 to 3.9 per cent for FY 2007-08. The phenomenal growth of the Indian IT Software & Services and ITES-BPO sector has had a perceptible multiplier effect on the Indian economy as a whole. In addition to the direct positive impact on national income, the sector has grown to become the biggest employment generator, and has spawned the mushrooming of several ancillary industries such as transportation, real estate and catering, and has created a rising class of youthful consumers with high disposable incomes.

This, in turn, has triggered a rise in direct-tax collections and propelled an increase in consumer spending.The total IT Software and Services employment is expected to reach the 2- million mark in 2007-08 (excluding employment in the hardware sector), as against 1.63 million in 2006-07, a growth of 22.7 per cent year-on-year. This represents a net addition of 375,000 professionals to the industry employee base, this year. The indirect employment attributed by the sector is estimated to about 8 million in year 2007-08. This translates to the creation of about 10 million job opportunities attributed to the growth of this sector.

The Indian IT industry is recognised the world over for its quality. Today, India leads the world in terms of the number of quality certifications achieved by centres in any single country. As of December 2007, over 498 India-based centres (both Indian firms as well as MNC-owned captives) had acquired quality certifications with 85 companies certified at Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Carnegie Mellon Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Level 5 – higher than any other country.

India's IT growth in the world is primarily dominated by IT software and services such as Custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM), System Integration, IT Consulting, Application Management, Infrastructure Management Services, Software testing, Service-oriented architecture and Web services.
The government expects the exports turnover to touch US$ 80 billion by 2011, growing at an annual rate of 30 per cent per annum, from the earlier few million dollars worth exports in early 1990s.

1. Automotive Air Conditioning Systems

Today, as we drive our automobiles, a great many of us, can enjoy the same comfort levels that we are accustomed to at home and at work. With the push of a button or the slide of a lever, we make the seamless transition from heating to cooling and back again without ever wondering how this change occurs. That is, unless something goes awry.

Since the advent of the automotive air conditioning system in the 1940's, many things have undergone extensive change. Improvements, such as computerized automatic temperature control (which allow you to set the desired temperature and have the system adjust automatically) and improvements to overall durability, have added complexity to today's modern air conditioning system. Unfortunately, the days of "do-it-yourself" repair to these systems, is almost a thing of the past.
To add to the complications, we now have tough environmental regulations that govern the very simplest of tasks, such as recharging the system with refrigerant R12 commonly referred to as Freon. (Freon is the trade name for the refrigerant R-12, that was manufactured by DuPont). Extensive scientific studies have proven the damaging effects of this refrigerant to our ozone layer, and its manufacture has been banned by the U.S. and many other countries that have joined together to sign the Montreal Protocol, a landmark agreement that was introduced in the 1980's to limit the production and use of chemicals known to deplete the ozone layer.
Now more than ever, your auto mechanic is at the mercy of this new environmental legislation. Not only is he required to be certified to purchase refrigerant and repair your air conditioner, his shop must also incur the cost of purchasing expensive dedicated equipment that insures the capture of these ozone depleting chemicals, should the system be opened up for repair. Simply put, if your mechanic has to spend more to repair your vehicle - he will have to charge you more. Basic knowledge of your air conditioning system is important, as this will allow you to make a more informed decision on your repair options.
