REPORT_ON_CII_SUMMIT:SUNRISE_STATE_ANDHRA_PRADESH
The
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in partnership with the Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the
State Government of Andhra Pradesh presented the 22nd edition of the
Partnership Summit from 10 - 12 January 2016 at APIIC Ground, Harbour Park,
Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Ms Nirmala
Sitharaman, Hon’ble Minister for Commerce and Industry, was the Chair of the
Summit and the State Government of Andhra Pradesh was the ‘Partner State’ for
this edition of the prestigious initiative.
The Partnership Summit, which started in 1995, to mark the centenary of CII, has since become one of the most important international business events in the country. It aims to further partnerships and build ideologies based on shared dreams that bind societies together in this knowledge driven world. The Summit has established itself as an ideal ground for business networking and sharing of ideas to debate and deliberate, where corporates seek a collective view beyond bottom lines. The Partnership Summit regularly features Heads of States and Governments, Ministers, policy makers, CEOs, academicians and thought leaders from all over the world. The Summit traditionally sees over 1200 delegates with almost 40% attending from several countries including USA, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Canada, France, Australia, South Africa, Italy, Qatar, China, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and UAE amongst others.
The highlights of the CII
Partnership Summit 2016 were:
- Platform to showcase investment promotion policies and programmes in Andhra Pradesh.
- Building new partnerships and exploring national and international investment through high level networking and structured B2B Meetings.
- Unique platform providing a great opportunity to interact with Policy makers, investors, industry leaders and associations.
We
students of GIM had an opportunity to meet top businessmen. We were inspired by
their holistic thinking and leadership. We also learnt many management
techniques from the organisers of the meeting. We got a chance to interact with
fellow managers from other business schools which encouraged both competition
and togetherness among us. Working with them was very exciting and enabled to
greatly increase our flexibility to work in any environment with any person in
the future.
Many
businesspersons such as Mr. Anil Ambani, Mr. Murali Divis, Mr. Naushabh Forbes,
Mr. Aadi Godrej, Mr. Y C Deveshwar, Mr. Satish Reddy, Mr. Krishna Reddy, Mr.
Pratap Reddy, Mr. Mallikarjuna Rao, Mr. Amitabh Kanth were present. Many
political leaders such as Union Minister Mr. M. Venkaiah Naidu, Chief Minister Mr.
Chandrababu Naidu and others attended the meeting. I felt very excited and
inspired seeing them on the stage and listening to them on the podium.

MEMORIES_OF_IFR
International Fleet Review which was
conducted in February 2016 was a very good opportunity for the citizens of
Visakhapatnam to experience a live telecast of the performance which was
performed by the Indian Navy in front of the delegates from 50 countries. Basically,
International Fleet Review can be defined as “the ceremonial and the stately
inspection of naval warships by the President of India.” It was a proud feeling for every Vizagite to
have such a beautiful experience which every person from both Visakhapatnam and
outside would cherish for a lifetime.
The International Fleet Review commenced
on 4th February, 2016 and lasted till 8th February 2016.
This four day event witnessed many occasions which were a moment of pride and
honour for every citizen of India. The main objective of this ceremony was to
enhance mutual trust and confidence with neighbouring navies by inviting their
warships to participate in the event- “UNITED THROUGH OCEANS.”
The event was inaugurated on 4th February
with laying of the wreath at the Victory at Sea Memorial by Chief Minister of Andhra
Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu and paying homage to the martyrs of the 1971
Indo-Pakistan war. This was followed by the inauguration of Maritime Exhibition
and IFR Village which was based on the theme of “Make in India” and aimed at
showcasing innovation potential of the youth
of the country. 5th February
marked the opening ceremony at INS Satavahana Stadium where Brand Ambassadors
of Indian Navy Mr Akshay Kumar and Ms Kangana Ranaut joined the gathering.
The main part of the fleet review was
conducted on 6th February in the morning hours by the “Supreme
Commander of the Indian Armed Forces”, the Honourable President of India Shri
Pranab Mukherjee. He reviewed the International fleet, a combination of Indian
warships and the ships from navies across the world. Warships like INS Viraat,
INS Vikramaditya, INS Samudrika, etc took part in this fleet and escalated the
pride, respect and reputation of the country in front of various countries. The
next day, i.e, 7th February, witnessed the city parade with more
than 50 countries participating on RK beach and the salute was taken by the
Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi. The participants who marched were
the contingents of Indian Navy, Army, Air Force, State Police, NCC and troops
of other countries like China, UK, USA etc.
As I reside opposite to Ramakrishna
beach, I witnessed the complete show which was presented by the Indian Navy.
There were a host of attractions like rocket launching, gun firing, tanks, explosions
in the sea, magnificent fireworks by the warships, etc. A crowd of more than 2.5 lakhs as estimated
by the Mee-Seva Authorities watched the ceremony on the beach. Complete decorum was maintained on the beach
inspite of the huge crowd. The foreign delegates who visited the event were one
of the points of attraction. I took a few selfies with soldiers from USA. Indeed this will be one memorable event for
every Vizagite !

HAPPINESS_MEANS?
HAPPINESS-Everyone likes it all the
time. But, what is happiness? Does this happiness lie in money, power or in
something else? How do we get happiness and what makes us happy in this little
world?
We
the human beings, find a lot of ways to stay happy. For example a mother finds
happiness in feeding her child, a father finds it by protecting his family
whereas some politicians find happiness in appropriating public funds and
getting richer day by day. Happiness can be obtained in two ways good and bad.
One fills the heart with love and makes life beautiful whereas the other way
gives only temporary happiness.
We
the young and energetic youth of India find happiness mostly by using
technology (Facebook,Whatsapp which have become like compulsory subjects for
us). Even in the classrooms, we use mobile phones, we play games, is this
happiness? While some of us find happiness in spending money for unnecessary
things, some feel that alcohol consumption and smoking gives happiness and
pleasure. If our loved ones know about this, can they stay happy? Can they
carry a smile on their faces? Some of the students have lost their lives due to
addictions. If we are one of them, can the hearts of our parents beat normally?
Think once - No one is born perfect. You and I should learn good things from
each other. Our friendship should be such that if we make mistakes, we should
question each other. Real friendship never lies in doing bad things together
but lies in making ourselves perfect. It is really great to listen to good
things but they should also be implemented in our lives.
Happiness
is sleeping on mother’s lap, hugging father after a long time, watching a baby
walking, enjoying the movie with friends, fighting with sister for TV remote,
seeing a kid’s smile playing with kids and satisfying the hunger of needy,
doing naughty things in college, getting a smile from your special person.
There is a small line separating good and bad. So, enjoy the college life in a
good way. Take selfies, Upload them in Facebook, Keep Crazy status in whatsapp,
put pics in Instagram. We won’t get this awesome time again. Chill out with our
friends, enjoy life it is a onetime gift. But we should obtain happiness in the
right way.
So let’s learn from each other and stay happy all the time. Never insult anyone in your life. We do not have the right to take away happiness from anyone. Learn from each other for a better society and make this world beautiful place to live in.

DO_STARS_MATTER?
I know, you must have thought for a
moment that I was about to bore you by giving an insight into astrology… let me
assure you that I have no intention to bore myself along the way… anyway, by mentioning stars I mean stars
given by film critics. So, what makes a movie worth watching? Glittery stars
given by critics, or if you put it in another way, people just like us… it sure
helps us in saving some money when we decide to not watch a movie based on stars.
Then again our brains do full justice to encumber our opinions.
Most of the times we face a situation
wherein the movie is appreciated by critics but we end up not liking it or to
our surprise we might end up liking the movie that was not even considered by the critics at the first
place. We often observe that a movie at the end of the day is incarcerated to a
particular citizenry. Sometimes it is because of the certification given by
film board and sometimes the ratings given by the reviewer. There are movies
that were highly overrated and on the flipside highly underrated.
For instance, if you see the movie ‘The
Shawshank Redemption’ the ratings are lofty. Now, the movie was well received
in the 90s because our mate ‘Oscar’ here is doing a tremendous job in recognizing such movies but
if you agree with me the plot might not excite the current generation as much.
I don’t intend to criticize the back breaking work put in by numerous people
because you never know when the movies taken recently might lose their charm in
near future. There are movies that still live on like ‘Schindler’s list’, ‘The
Godfather’ and many more..
As mentioned earlier, there are also
movies that are underrated but have potential to change people’s mind. For
example the movies like ‘28 days’ in which Sandra Bullock who never ceases to
mesmerize us, once again spread her charm. This movie’s ratings are not that
lofty but a simple story wherein the protagonist is forced to check into a
rehab so that her life falls into place again, can be easily related to even in
this decade.
Jean-Luc Godard once said, “A story
should have beginning, middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order.”
So, why should stars come in between?
Now, the “stars” mentioned here have
another face to it. I am talking about the actors who give life to the
characters created by the story teller. They become the face of a film. People
many a time go watch a film because their favorite actor is working in that
project. Just envisage a situation wherein you give in your 100% but at the end
of the day you are not recognized. Sadly, this envision has become a reality in
film industry. The same ‘stars’ are not recognized for their work. By going
with example, we can see that this year’s Oscar nominations led its way towards
controversy regarding lack of diversity. Many backlashed by putting their point
of view through ‘#OscarsSoWhite”
hash tag. It’s even more desolating when one person is appreciated and the
other one is not though they worked on the same project. Something similar
happened when actor Michael B. Jordan was not considered for a nomination whereas
his co-star Sylvester Stallone was nominated in the Supporting Actor category
for the movie ‘Creed’. Many other established people like actor Will Smith who
can be seen in the movie ‘Concussion’, director Ryan Coogler who directed the
movie ‘Creed’ fell prey to this controversy.
Coming to the other problem faced by the
industry, the female actors are often not appreciated enough for their equally
talented work in a particular movie. I am not talking about the awards or
critical appreciation but the compensation aspect. There is a huge gap that has
to be bridged. It is discrimination we as women are facing. It is anyway safe
to say that there are changes happening but it has to be accelerated. Tolerance
is the key destructor. Realizing and addressing the problem alone is not going
to work anymore, we have to fight back because these “stars” definitely matter.
