Yavatmal means only farmers' suicides......? NAGPUR, Dec 30, 2014: For an outsider with just basic knowledge of state affairs, Yavatmal means only farmers' suicides. A cotton-rich belt, it has seen the highest number of farmers' ending their lives. Cotton, which had been a cash crop for generations, has gradually become a cause of distress for the cultivators. As officials put it, the number of suicides have come down substantially in past 2-3 years, though this season has been the worst for cotton growers. In the last half a decade, there has been gradual industrialization of Yavatmal. The biggest unit is the cement plant being built by the Reliance Group, which according to state government sources is expected to be operational by next year. Raymond's denim unit here is already operational with Nagpur-based Rasoya Proteins' solvent extraction plant set to start production soon.  The value of all the investment together can be pegged at Rs.5,000 c...

Reliance Communications’ QIP investors lose nearly 50% [ Editor : This report does not give the true picture of Reliance Communications Ltd (Rs.73.35). It says: "Besides, as R-Com’s quarterly results statements have shown, there’s hardly anything in its operational performance to get excited about". But the point is that the company  saw profit rise of 86% over the last year, as more subscribers use smartphones to surf the internet.The company said that the data traffic increased due to a boost in both subscribers and higher data usage per customer. Now, this is a big thing as "data-revolution" is going to gain more strength in the coming days. The Wall Street Journal wrote on 18 February, 2015:  Most of India’s new smartphone users have never owned computers. They couldn’t afford a device that could give them Internet access until smartphone prices drifted below $200.

FIIs Continue to Press the Sell Button Photo : Money Control According to the Reuters, February 17, 2015: Earnings of India's largest companies fell more than expected in the latest quarter, adding to scepticism over a stock market rally that started in early 2014 and official figures showing the country's economic growth outpaced China's. The combined net income of 100 firms with a market valuation of more than $100 million dropped 6 percent in the three months ended in December from a year earlier. That compares with a 0.5 percent rise expected by analysts covering the companies. It was also the first decline in at least 18 quarters since Thomson Reuters started compiling the earnings data. It was the third consecutive quarter that profits had failed to match up to expectations, meaning companies have disappointed each quarter since Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected in May last year, a victory that drove share prices to record highs. More than half ...

Pehle AAP, pehle AAP....... the PM kept on saying and in this Lucknowi, syndrome the BJP missed the bus, whereas the Congress did not even come to the terminus".  "The results of the Delhi Assembly polls are one of its kind and has rewritten political history. Arvind Kejriwal’s swearing in ceremony as Chief Minister took place  on Valentine's day, 14th February, which incidentally is exactly the day he quit as the CM of Delhi last year.

India gold prices surge on jewellery demand MUMBAI, Saturday, February 14, 2015:  Gold prices in top consumer India swung to a premium to the global benchmark this week, compared with discounts late last month, as jewellery demand picked up, dealers said.
