ISB & CDM to Host Joint Seminar on Self Reliance in Defence Production
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, Friday, December 31, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Indian School of Business (ISB) and the College of Defence Management (CDM) will be organising the first ever joint Seminar on 'Building Capability through Self Reliance in Defence Production' on January 7-8, 2011.
While the market for defence equipment in India expected to grow steadily for the next 25 years as a result of the Government's major modernisation drive, it also provides new opportunities for employment and business both for the public and private sectors.
Making the announcement, Ajit Rangnekar, Dean, ISB said, "This conference will bring together key senior policy and decision makers, industry leaders and experts from academia to identify the business potential in the Indian defence markets and explore opportunities that will benefit both the MNC's and the SME's alike."
A recent Deloitte-CII study points out that 70 per cent of the current defence procurement comes from foreign sources while Indian companies supply only 30 per cent, the bulk of which are components and sub-assemblies to state-owned companies. With the first ever Defence Production Policy to be unveiled in January 2011, along with a significantly revised Defence Procurement Policy there are expectations that indigenous production of defence equipment will be ramped up to a large extent. The conference will examine the opportunities that can be afforded to the Indian Industry as a result of the proposed changes in the Defence Offset and Production Policy. Defence equipment manufacturers across the country are expected to attend this conference.
Admiral Vivek S Batra, AVSM, Commandant, College of Defence Management, co - hosts of the Seminar said "Self reliance and Defence Production is strongly linked to national security. Synergy between the Indian Industry (public and private) policy makers and the users will go a long way in achieving this aim."
The conference has attracted participation from Government, PSUs, MNCs and SME players. Prominent speakers include Shri Shekhar Dutt, Governor of Chhattisgarh, Shri M M Pallam Raju, Raksha Rajya Mantri, Heads of PSUs like HAL, BEL, Bharat Forge and so on.
This conference will provide policy makers, practitioners - personnel from Armed Forces, R&D and the Industry a common platform to discuss, debate and recommend measures to streamline India's march towards self reliance.

Delta Launches Two New UPS Series in India
Delhi, India, Thursday, December 30, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Delta India, a world leading provider of advanced power solutions, launched two new UPS in India. The newly launched UPS are Amplon RT 5kVA, 6kVA and 10kVA rack units, and Agilon VX series. Amplon RT, the parallel redundant, single-phase UPS systems are specifically designed to protect mission critical information technology (IT) systems, telecommunications, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), network equipment and light industrial applications against costly damage from power failures and disturbances. Recognizing the individual needs, Delta VX UPS series offer the best value and availability UPS to prevent damage and data losses for your home offices and small businesses equipment caused by power fluctuations.
The Amplon RT's leverage double conversion on-line topology ensures better filtering and more stable voltage to the load, and its genuinely parallel redundant system provides worry-free reliability. With an optimized 2U (5, 6kVA)/ 3U (10kVA) form factor in a solid enclosure, Delta's Amplon RT is ideal for installation in a standard 19-inch rack space.
"With an output power factor of 0.9, the Amplon RT series delivers more real power. For instance, the capacity of the 5000VA circuit delivers a true 4500 watts of output power compared to competitive systems that typically supply only 3500 watts," said Mr. Deepak Sharma, Director- Sales UPS, Delta Group. "The RT series not only delivers more wattage to protect more equipment, achieve economic benefits and but also guarantees a high level of reliable power to critical data center facilities." He further adds.
Additional design features of the Amplon RT 5-10kVA includes:
-- Wide input voltage to reduce battery discharge and prolong battery life.
-- External battery pack for additional backup time can be added if needed.
-- Maintenance bypass box that offers an easy and effective method for maintaining and testing the UPS.
-- A user-friendly LCD display that supports multi-language with a blue backlight.
-- A variety of peripherals and software that allow for remote monitoring and control of the UPS over an existing network or through a Web browser.
Deltas' Agilon VX UPS series feature wide input voltage range, automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and user-friendly LED indicators. Extra-wide voltage range can supply sustainable utility power, even at lower or higher input voltage without transferring to battery mode. This valuable feature can protect and prolong the battery lifetime. Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) ensures that all the electronic loads are receiving stable voltage by correcting low and high voltage conditions without using the battery. The user-friendly LED indicators offer real-time diagnoses through which the users can check power and UPS status at a glance.
The Agilon VX600 series is available in India from Q4 2010 onwards. The Amplon RT 5-10kVA is currently available in Europe, the Middle East, India, China and South America.

ICC Cricket World Cup History Recorded in definitive Television Series
Programmes look back at the rich history of The Cup That Counts through stories told by the players who experienced the highs and lows
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Wednesday, December 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- The ICC Cricket World Cup (ICC CWC), the game's flagship tournament, now has a definitive visual history thanks to a new series of 12 television programmes.
The programmes produced by ESPN STAR Sports, the ICC's global production and broadcast partner, looks back at the event's rich history through stories told by the players who experienced the highs and the lows. This audio-visual history beautifully captures the precious moments that will stand the test of time.
They feature extensive interviews with all seven ICC CWC-winning captains - Clive Lloyd, Kapil Dev, Allan Border, Imran Khan, Arjuna Ranatunga, Stephen Waugh and Ricky Ponting.
And they also include the views of some other pivotal figures from each tournament, including Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, Ian Botham, Mike Gatting, Wasim Akram, Sanath Jayasuriya, Martin Crowe and Brett Lee.
Broadcast by ESPN STAR Sports and other official ICC broadcasters, they are the perfect lead-in for cricket fans ahead of next year's ICC CWC in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka that begins on 19 February.
The programmes chart the evolution of the ICC CWC from humble beginnings in 1975 through to its current status as The Cup That Counts.
Each of the nine previous tournaments are recalled and analysed, and the seven victorious captains also have a programme devoted to their own personal recollections of achieving the ultimate honour in the game - lifting the ICC Cricket World Cup.
Manu Sawhney, ESPN STAR Sports Managing Director, said: "The ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 will draw massive interest from around the globe as cricket's flagship event, and this compelling cricket programming is a must watch for all cricket fans in the lead up to next year's showpiece event.
"As the global production and broadcast rights holder for ICC events, this documentary was produced to highlight the proud history and traditions of the Cricket World Cup in perspective to the upcoming blockbuster event next February, and we hope that cricket fans will enjoy every minute of it."
ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said: "The ICC Cricket World Cup is cricket's flagship tournament - it's The Cup That Counts - so we are delighted that, for the first time, a definitive series of programmes charting its history has been produced.
"The programmes feature the key players from the first nine editions dating back to the inaugural event in 1975 and will serve as the essential historical record of the ICC Cricket World Cup. The timing of its release is also a perfect lead in to the 2011 tournament.
"It is a must-watch television show, not only for those who love and watch the game but also for those who have no real knowledge of our great sport. The programmes capture vividly the fantastic national drama that only the ICC Cricket World Cup can produce. These documentaries are the best possible illustration of why the ICC Cricket World Cup is the biggest and best tournament in the game."
Imtiaz Patel, Group CEO of MultiChoice South Africa, one the ICC's official broadcasters for the ICC CWC, said: "The ICC Cricket World Cup is full of extraordinary feats, intense rivalries and gripping human drama, and we look forward to highlight the many personalities and teams that have made this stellar event so well celebrated around the world.
"SuperSport is delighted to be showing every match of the 2011 edition live to its subscribers and this additional content will complement the live transmissions superbly. With the extensive research and value put into the production of these documentaries, this cricket programming will certainly bolster the interest leading up to this remarkable global sports event."
In total, there are 12 programmes - two devoted to an overall history of the ICC CWC, a further nine on each edition of the tournament (1975, 1979, 1983, 1987, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2007) and one in which the captains provide their memories of what it took to lift cricket's greatest prize.

The third in this series, an important aspect of one's personality development is Self-esteem. It dictates our opinions about ourselves, our interactions with others and determines the quality of our daily lives. This episode discusses self-esteem in detail, including the impact of low self-esteem and ways to boost it.
The fourth episode talks about the fairly recent concept of Life-Skills Education and its increasing relevance today when life is full of stress. The last area covered in this segment is Study Skills and Memory Enhancement. It focuses on how academics today have become a constant headache for parents with children complaining of a lack in concentration and poor retention ability.
