2 Husbands dont cooperate in household works
SHRIKANT MANOHAR DANKE  |  Supported idea  "Imrpoper planning before marriage is the main cause, why women think of giveing up carreer"  |  2 years ago

In my opinion, economic slow down was man made. Big business houses stopped pumping money into the markets. India does not depend much on the outside help. This is not so in developed countries, especially in the USA. So many foreign countries invest...

Agree with Mr. Ghosh. The causes are more than one. Absence of soil investigation, poor design, Faulty execution, use of low quality materials, cost cutting made to make irrational profit, lack of experienced skilled workforce, etc. Construction...

Santosh Sinha  |  Argues in support of  "Liability"  |  2 years ago
In my opinion this is a more sort of liability than the asset. With diversity you will find group developing between same type of people. Soon this is going to be rivals and then ....................... Why this happens? I am not saying every one...

Diversity means expansion which is way of life. Absence of diversity means contraction which symbolizes death.
Diya Mehra  |  Argues in support of  "Asset"  |  2 years ago
People's culture, age, and gender make them see the world in different ways.  These perspectives are a key to creative thinking, and that, in turn, is the key to successful R D. We must stop seeing diversity as a problem, and start seeing it as...

We can not preach value in front of our youngsters, where the so called owners of the domestic companies do not want to share the growth with the people who are really doing something for the organization. there is lack of corporate governance in...
