nion home minister Shivraj Patial today gave a patient hearing to farmers and residents of villages on the Indo-Pak border and felt that their demands were genuine and should be taken seriously.
Accompanied by Punjab Pardesh Congress Committee chief Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, additional director-general (BSF), G.S. Gill, AIG (BSF) I.G. Rangan, DIG (BSF) S.S. Sandhu, deputy commissioner Gurkirat Kirpal Singh and SSP Lok Nath Angra, the home minister took a round of some fields at the village on the Indo-Pak border.
While telling him their woes, farmers of these villages demanded shifting of the fence to the zero line, compensation for their crops across the fence (ranging between Rs 2,500 to Rs 16,000 annually), 24-hour power supply, better education and healthcare facilities, reservation in job for the residents of these villages. The villagers also demanded passes for women so that they too could go to their land holdings across the fence.
Patil said he was apprised of the problems being faced by the farmers by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and the UPA government would give all possible help in this regard.
The home minister also assured the BSF jawans, posted at the border, that he would take up the issue of providing them perks and facilities on a par with the Army at the Cabinet meeting scheduled for February 11 in Delhi.
Later, he addressed a rally, Sadbhawana Divas, organised at the Gurdaspur grain market to commemorate the death anniversary of Prabodh Chander, a freedom fighter and father of Ashwani Kumar, union minister of state for industry. He laid stress on social solidarity and communal harmony.
Paying homage to Prabodh Chander, Patil said Punjabis were on the forefront in the freedom struggle and had contributed alot in the freedom struggle and were doing the same while defending the borders.
Praising Ashwani Kumar for organising the rally, Patil said such rallies should be held all over the country because social harmony was need of the hour.
Besides Bhattal, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, PPCC vice-president Mohinder Singh Kaypee, former Congress ministers Tejpratap Singh, Avtar Henry and several other Congress leaders also paid tributes to Prabodh Chander. Ashwani Kumar also read out the messages of the President, Vice-President and Prime Minister with regard to Prabodh Chander’s contribution to the freedom struggle.
Oh! forgot to anwer your other two question --
Strategy to provide a motivation for employees to reach work place.
[Dhruv] - I know there are lot of theories for employee motivation and we need to identify theories for the kind of work/business we are into. But I am strong believer of Maslow's and Herzberg's theory. We can discuss this in detail too!!
How to lessen time lost in travel and thus increase the productivity of the employees
[Dhruv] :
A. Try and recruit people who have residence close to the Office premises. People who have relocated should be advised to take up home close to office and give them incentives for that, since most of these areas are expensive and unaffordable.
B. Office transport - but need to have a policy that each route should cover 3-4 employees (need to do the cost estimate and budgeting)
Well, There is one more thing that you can actually do to increase employee productivity while arranging for office transport.
Create a Mobile office... that is... what Mircosoft has done in China... their office buses have PC's in them and people can actually work while they are on their way to office. It also allows you to be able to talk over VoIP.
If you need some photographs of the bus, let me know and will mail them to you... :)

Great thoughts by Padmaja. Very simple and easy to implement. We must teach our family to habituate this habit. |
Facility Management- Achieving the unachievable 5/5 on CSAT- A service provider perspective. 99.99966% is 6 sigma which still leaves with 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Achieving 5/5 in terms of client survey for an IFM company... |
Very educative and very nice words of wisdom. Thanks |
