CPT COACHING : CURE OR CHAOS ?

In the recently concluded National Seminar of Chartered Accountants in Udaipur  the ICAI President Mr Amarjit Chopra suggested that CPT exam willl be modeled on IIT-JEE pattern. This has brought in limelight the issue of rapidly expanding coaching industry in Udaipur. The coaching institutes are making CRORES by encashing the students’ innocence (or ignorance?) regarding the CPT exam which is the 1st step to the evergreen glamorous proffesion of Chartered Accountancy.
Several experts sincerely believe that CPT is a “Basic Level” Test and not a brain boiling,soul-scorching wrangler like IIT-JEE or AIIMS examinations.
It has 4 parts

  1. Accounting ,60 marks
  2. Economics 50 marks
  3. Mercantile Law 40 marks
  4. Quantitative Techniques( Maths+Stats) 50 marks

All these are thoroughly covered in the syllabus of  Class XI and XII. A non-maths background student can easily prepare the Quantitative Techniques part with the ICAI study material as it contains a plenty of illustrations cutting across all difficulty levels.
One has to score only 100/200 marks in order to pass the test and continue the journey to becoming a CA.
There are  200 questions which test the basic primary grasp of an aspirant. Any average commerce student who has passed Class XII in one go can easily prepare for the test only by referring to the ICAI study material. There is no need even to look in the direction of any coaching institute.

THE BIGGEST DRAWBACK :

Biggest Drawback of these institutes is that they suck off the stamina and energy of the students rendering them unfit for preparing well at home.The tiring schedules of coaching institutes make the CPT aspirant’s life hectic and leave them with too little time for recreation and revision.   Several seasoned Examiners and faculty members believe that many students fail to pass the CPT only because they attend coaching classes!

CONCLUSION :

The coaching institutes are completely useless so far as CPT is concerned. A thorough study of ICAI study material is more than enough to score good marks. Just keep confidence , have full faith in the ICAI study material and dont throw away your precious 15000 bucks to the coaching classes.

May you have the Best of Luck and now what are you waiting for ? Take out the books and  GET,SET…GO !!!

Udaipur – Land of Minerals

Udaipur - Land of Minerals

Udaipur is a well known name famous for its Lakes, Palaces, Architecture, Temples, Natural beauty, Eco trails, Romantic evenings and its Golden History. But it’s a place lot more famous around the world not just for it’s beauty but also as place endowed with natural minerals.
Udaipur being Major Tourist Hub of the Country is also a Commercial Hub of the world with handicrafts and marble mining and processing as important occupation of people. Nature has endowed Udaipur with natural minerals. Our city tops in mining of natural minerals listed below:

  1. White marble
  2. Zinc
  3. Rock phosphate
  4. Talc (soapstone)
  5. Calcite
  6. Quartz
  7. Wollastonite
  8. Pyrophyllite & Sillimanite

Marble Industry:

Mining Udaipur

Udaipur stands 1st in the world for mining and processing of white marble. It is the Asia’s largest market for white, green, pink and other marble. All these Marble mines udaipurmarble’s are exclusively mined, processed and exported around the World. Udaipur and Rajasthan comes first in marble mining and tops the list in this segment in the country. The marble industry is well set and established over hear with proper infrastructure and technological support for mining and processing. It is the largest sector giving employment to many people of the city and those immigrants from small villages. The business is very vast; the mines and processing units are extended in the adjoining areas namely Sukher, Rajsamand, Rajnagar, Kesrayaji, Chittor , Kishangarh etc. In total there are approximately 5,000 small and big units working in field of mining, processing, exporting and trading of marble.
The marble being produced is sold in all the states and across borders with R.K marble as largest producer of marble in the world with 60,000 square meter per day has earned the company a place in Guinness Book of World Records.
Though mining was once banned in the Aravalli region but the association of so many people with this industry as an employment agent cannot be denied and government had to cancel their order because of this.

Zinc:

zinc udaipurThe only company producing zinc is Hindustan Zinc. Formerly it was managed and run by Government of India and is now a part of big public company called Vedanta Group. Their Head offices are located amidst the city and the plants or projects run in outskirts of the city. It is one of the Largest producer of Zinc in the Country which accounts to 7,54,000 Tonnes P.A. It’s a Big organization and provides employment to hundreds of people. Their mines operate in Dariba near Udaipur where the Products Zinc Concentrate and Lead Concentrate which has a Ore product capacity 0.30 milion tonnes per annum.

Rock Phosphate:

Rock phosphate is another such mineral been mined and processed by RSMML. The major activity of RSMML is the mining of Rock phosphate ore. It operates one of the largest and fully mechanised mines in the country at Jhamarkotra, 26 Kms. from Udaipur.
In India the economy being predominantly based on agriculture, the fertilizer production plays a pivotal role. Only about 35% to 40% of the requirement of raw material for phosphatic fertilizer production are being met through indigenous sources and the rest is met through import in the form of rock phosphate, phosphoric acid & direct fertilizers. In such a situation Jhamarkotra plays an important role by contributing 98% of rock phosphate production of India.


White Industrial Minerals:

The minerals Talc , Dolomite, Calcite, China Clay are of same category, composition and use and mainly used as fillers, strengthening agents , whiteners for manufacturing in paints , plastics , paper , detergents , Talc Udaipurcosmetics etc. These minerals come under the category of white industrial minerals. These minerals are mined in neighboring villages and been processed into fine powder to be used for industrial purposes all around the world. The demand for these minerals is very high all around the world with high consumptions from Europe and Middle East nations. Udaipur is the lead producer of these minerals Wolkem India is a leading name in the mining and processing of Calcite and Wallastonite across the World and Golcha Group is the top name when someone thinks about Soapstone (Talc). Whereas Shri Kailash Khanij Udhyog is the only miner and producer of mineral Pyrophyllite and Sillimanite in this region. Both these minerals are widely used in refractories and other industrial applications around the World.

Mewar Industrial Area in Udaipur is full of Grinding Units these Minerals and New Industrial Areas are developed to accommodate the growth of these Industries. Around 500 units are involved into Mining, Grinding and Processing of these Minerals in and around Udaipur city.

Impact on Nature and Societal Perspective:

Mining and Mineral Industries are also a cause to natural hazard, degrading land resources and natural surroundings. Although mining in Aravalli range has been banned but illegal mining is still going on in these regions and causing problems to natural surroundings. But these industries are so prominent as they give employment to a lot of people, the benefits arising out of them cannot be ignored too. So many people from all economic strata are associated with these industries and if the industry is banned and shut down then surely too much of unemployment, which the state cannot afford. As long as it keeps on giving employment to people the industry will survive and so do the people.

UdaipurBlog team is Thankful to Mr. Ashok Chohan of  Shri Kailash Khanij Udhyog for his Valuable insights About the Mineral Industry.

Animal Aid Unlimited

A Visit:

Its 10 a.m. in the morning, Sun is getting brighter, Birds are chirping, some dogs are barking. We are at the gate of Animal Aid Unlimited at Badi. A young fair lady welcomes us in with a smile. Her name is Claire Abrams she introduces herself as co-founder of this Organization. She lets us in , and we see a lady feeding milk from a bottle to a puppy who is crippled. A wounded dog is lying besides that who is been looked after by a man in his mid 20’s. This man is healing his wounds by applying ointment on them. There are other dogs, which are playing around. There is a lot of activity going around, sounds of barking Dogs, mooing Cows, braying Donkeys and a lot more.

Animal Aid Unlimited

Claire took us further inside to A kennel where all the ill dogs stay. We could see a team of 4 men holding a dog with a badly wounded neck, they gave him medicines and vaccines to heal and recover. On asking “What had happened to this dog” she told the dog seems to be a victim of cruelty by men. Sum one tied a knot around his neck as a result he lost his outer skin cover, cruel but true. She said that it will take time to heal but he will be fine in some period of time.

Dog kenneldogs kennel

We saw another puppy that was shivering with pain in his kennel. The probable reason for that could have been that sum body drove on him. She told that he showed no signs of healing and he is gong to die soon. We felt bad and helpless for the poor fellow; (Felt a grudge why people do that? Why can’t people drive slowly and carefully?) Every Animal brought in there had a heart-filling story of its own. The speechless animals spoke through their innocent eyes as if trying to say something. (Who can believe that there is no soul in those luminous eyes?) Words were not enough to describe the situation there one could only feel it.

CowsDonkeys

We further went to other sheds of cows, donkeys, pigs they too had the similar stories of cruelty, brutality and inhumanness of mankind that couldn’t be described. For a moment it made us feel shameful, being a human felt like rather animals are better off then humans because what they want is just love nothing else. Looking at all those animals our world came to a standstill. But two small joyful pigs Bronze and Silver brought a ray of hope and smile on our faces, as they play around us unknown of the entire cruel world besides them.

About Animal Aid:

Animal

Coming to India way back in 1993 by a US couple named (James and Erika Abrams) who came on a trip to the country and to Udaipur and fell in love with it. They founded Animal Aid Unlimited, an animal care center which provides help and shelter to stray and homeless animals (dogs, donkeys, cows, cats, pigs, birds) is now a Big Hospital cum Animal Care Center at Badi in front of T.B. hospital with around 250 animals receiving treatment and care per day on an average.

The Animal Aid Unlimited organization is one such special organization in the country run by a US family to look after those street animals that have no home and no one to care for them. Animal Aid is full of rescued street animals (cows, dogs, donkeys, cat , pigs) and there are some heart throbbing stories of cruelty, brutality and neglect by humans upon them in our very own Udaipur city.

A ring on their helpline number (24*7) and they come in to action

Animal Aid Unlimited though a name uncommon to some, is very common and famous amongst Animal Lovers of the city. Any Animal Lover who sees some animal in pain and in need of a helping hand just calls Animal Aid Unlimited helpline no. 0294-2810327 and request help. The specialized team of people immediately comes into action and rushes forward to help the suffering animal. They locate the animal as guided by the Animal Lovers and rescue the animal into their ambulance to their center. These animals are mostly ownerless who without the life-saving call would be left on the roads to die.

At the center in Badi the animals are kept under supervision and full care is ensured so that become becomes well soon. Mainly the cases comes of brutality by humans in any form (indescribable) , road accidents by fast moving vehicles, fights among animals itself or any calamity caused due to unknown factors. Because the animals are unowned, many times they do not know exactly the history of the animal.

There are separate sheds and kennels for every animal in the center spread across 4 bighas. The dogs are kept into separate kennels for the time of their treatment. Same as dogs other animals such as cows, donkeys have separate paddock for their treatment and stay. Animals after their treatment are been released back to where they were caught, but those who are permanently injured or disabled stay with them for their lifetime.

90% of animals coming in get completely well but some unfortunate and badly wounded animals die too, though unfortunate and sad but true. Animal Aid urges Udaipur people to call immediately when they see a suffering animal, not to wait, because if they don’t receive treatment immediately they may become to serious to recover.


A word with the Co founder of Animal Aid Unlimited – Ms. Claire Abrams

Claire

In the words of Claire:

“Animal Aid Unlimited was the dream of my parents. We are originally from Seattle USA and came to Udaipur almost 15 years ago for a visit and fell in love with the beautiful city. Udaipur is a very peaceful and safe place that we decided to shift to permanently. None in my family has a degree in veterinary medicine, but we are passionate about animals and committed to saving as many as we can.

The Animal Aid hospital and rescue center was established in 2002 in the small village of Chota Hawala near Rajiv Gandhi Udgyan. Our mission is to rescue and save the lives of suffering animals in Udaipur, mainly the stray animals who suffer from road accidents, injuries, and various illnesses.

My parents’ careers were as consultants with organizations in the U.S. and Australia, but since 2002 they have dedicated their lives to rescuing animals. We have been living in Udaipur for almost 15 years now, and call Udaipur “HOME”.

Asking upon regarding the support from government Claire says:

“The local government has not yet provided Animal Aid with funds to help stray animals, which is unfortunate, because with their help we could be reaching to even more animals.”

We asked Claire about the latest news?

“The latest important issue, which was covered in the Times of India, is regarding the Udaipur Municipal Corporation’s cruel and illegal practice of catching stray dogs and dumping them in the deserts to die without food and water. This brutality is raising concern amongst Udaipur’s animal lovers and through the campaign to stop the UMC from killing dogs, we are trying to raise the status of stray dogs.”

Attitude of citizens:

“We are really thankful to the caring people of Udaipur who call the Emergency Help-line whenever they see an injured animal. We get about 15-20 calls a day, which adds up to more than 3,000 calls per year. This is fantastic, and without that vital support we would not be able to rescue the animals.

We hope to continue getting support from Udaipurites, including the young people who will shape the future. We can all make a huge difference in the lives of these innocent animals that depend our help for their lives. I want to ask everyone, that pleases, if you see an animal that is suffering and in need, don’t turn and look the other way, but do something to help her. You are her only chance and you have the power to help her. If not now, when? If not you, who?

“Remember, just a call can give a new life to someone.”

Asking about raising funds for the cause:

Claire says Animal Aid depends on the generous donations of people who care about animals.

To run Animal Aid costs about Rs. 13,000 per day — more than Rs. 3 lakh per month.

The hospital depends on donations from businesses, foreign tourists and some random donations from animal lovers.

Claire says,

If more people contributed whatever they could—even small donations, even things like old cloth for bedding, blankets, rice, dal, toast or biscuits, green grass—every little bit more that people give means more animals being saved. The animals of Udaipur need all of us to join hands and help them. I am dreaming of a day when not a single animal in Udaipur is suffering. I think there are other people who are dreaming about the same thing. It takes a lot of energy, courage and money to make this dream come true, and we’re already part-way there. I want the next 10 years to bring 10 times more help to animals and the ONLY way we can do it is by helping them TOGETHER.”

A Request By Claire:


Animals have rights just like men, women and children do. And just as it is wrong to beat a person, force labor on children and abuse women, it is also wrong to do these things to animals.

Claire Abrams

The Aftermath of May Heat

This Summer heat in may has Crossed The records of last 50 years temperature of City Of Lakes. It rose upto 48*c in the starting of may month itself. Aint that too catastrophic because Udaipur a city being in the south of Rajasthan was amongst the one of the most coolest city due to its green environment and lakes.

But this was undone in 2010 when the temperature of the city crossed 45*c in the month of May itself which broke all the previous records heat. This Has lead to cause of loo(wind), more people suffering from fever etc.

But the ‘Unstrange’ Thing i myself noticed was this heat caused a lot of harm to vegetation which included plants, trees, vegetables etc.

Here are a few pictures that I snapped in My garden which shows the Ill effects of the alarming Heat even though these are well watered.

Modern Tourism in Udaipur

The Traditional concept of Tourism is well known by the people, which includes:  Luxurious Hotels, Special places to Visit.  Specially in a country like India the list of such places is never ending. We have quite a long list of such places – starting from the Taj Mahal, Eastern Coastal Line, The Breathtaking beauty of Himalayas, the western deserts etc. But that period is long gone when tourists used to visit such places merely to Eat, Drink & Merrymaking, this modern period calls for improvisation.

Many tourists want to learn & explore more about the people they meet & the places they visit. This indicates that the present day tourism is more ‘Knowledge Oriented‘ or ‘Cultural Tourism‘. This is where we have an advantage over the others, Udaipur is blessed with all the characteristics which will undoubtedly make us a leader in the present world of Tourism.

We have so much to offer to the people – almost every place, palace and lakes  has a story associated with it, and the Modern Tourism demands exploration and learning, this is where we take the lead. Secondly, the Rich Heritage and culture adds to the increased interaction between tourists and local people. The tourists get a glimpse of the traditional life-style and culture and this is what matters. These small interactions, experiences are preserved by the tourists and these small things leave a impression upon the tourists which actually shapes the image of any place.

Ways to promote Tourism :

Multimedia presentations can be made available in the top tourist spots. These MM presentations would include topics like music, culture, history, biodiversity etc.

A Special emphasis to highlight the Cultural Tourism and Knowledge Based Tourism should be made in order to support them.

Indiscriminate Exploitation Of Ground Water

Water is a public property. Everyone has equal share over it,this concept is readily acceptable by everyone.But, what I feel is that the people have taken this concept into a completely wrong sense. This massive misinterpretation has led to acute water related problem.

For Instance, Some of the people are exploiting the ground water resources obnoxiously in our very town.

 

This was snapped from one of the 8 tube wells on either side of the 100 feet road near a settlement in Sukher opposite to the Maharana Pratap Khel Gaon. Near about 50 water tankers daily carry water from these sites.Each tanker has a capacity of approx 5,000 litres. It is seen that a water tanker makes around 10 trips in a day…..

It can be estimated that about 25,00,000 Litres of water is daily extracted through these sites.
The the thing bothering me the most is that
WHAT IS THE ADMINISTRATION IS DOING…!!!

SELLING WATER IS A SOCIAL CRIME
All that is below the ground (water, minerals etc) is a government property. It can’t be exploited without the permission of the government, whether be minerals, rocks etc… Water is a public property, and if someone is selling it to earn money,It surely is a SOCIAL CRIME.
It is clearly stated in the MUNICIPAL ACT 2009 that a person requires approval and a license by the government for this purpose. In case a person doesn’t do so there are provisions to impose penalties and fines.

Let us see what the Senior’s have to say :

Arun Vyas, Senior Advocate
The reason we cannot take any action against these exploiters is that there is no such government policy which restricts the movements of these vendors.

Anand Kumar , Collector
City and surrounding areas where the groundwater is being exploited. These sites would be checked and proper actions would be taken. We won’t let the ground water to be exploited.

Power Consumption in Udaipur

“And God said, ‘Let there be light’ and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.”
Spike Milligan

15986044865736195886.jpg

These days temperature of Udaipur is on its crest. Due to heavy summer and immense construction work the call for of electricity has increased by 20 %. This year in the month of April the consumption of power was recorded to be 17.47 lakh unit while this data was at 14.58 lakh unit last year in the same month. There is an increase of 86.74 lakh unit in the five G.S.S of 132 KV and Debari 220 KV G.S.S. in the month of March. In march, 2009 the city was provided with power of 437.18 lakh unit whereas in this year 524.18 lakh unit electrical energy was provided in the month of march. Like this there is an increment of about 19.83 % per month in the utilization of power in the city.

Increase in consumption of energy in the month of March:

G.S.S Lakh unit
132 KV reliance 28.16
132 KV Eklinggarh 185.72
132 KV Sukher 71.71
132 KV Pratapnagar 113.73
132 KV Sisarma 96.56
220 KV Debari 93.1

Current utilization of electrical energy per day is 17.47 lakh unit.

Per day utilization last in 2009 was 14.58. lakh unit.

This year in March there is an increase of 2.89 lakh unit burning up of power per day.

The total ability of 132 KV and 220 KV GSS 575 MV. Techinacally udaipur is able to produce such a large amount of electricity till 2020.

As per the above data we can see that as the time pass need of energy increases, but we don’t have sufficient resource to cope up with the amount of power consumed. So we are desperate need to conserve electricity. Following are some ways to conserve electricity.

 

Cut down on your cooling bill

  • Adjust your air conditioner thermostat to 75 degrees.
  • Use portable fans and ceiling fans to circulate air.
  • Open your windows early in the morning to let cool air in the shut them later in the day when the temperature begins to go up.
  • Close your blinds and curtains in the afternoon to cut back on the amount of sunlight that heats up your home.
  • Use microwaves or fix cold meals on hot days to keep your appliances from warming up your home.
  • Hang your laundry on a clothesline to avoid warming up your home with a clothes dryer.
  • Run your dishwasher, clothes dryer, etc. in the evening when it’s cooler.
  • Plant deciduous trees (trees that have leaves that fall off in autumn) in your yard to provide shade during the summer to cool your home and yard.

Cut down on your heating bill

  • Set your heater’s thermostat to 65 degrees during the day.
  • Set your heater’s thermostat to 55 degrees during the night.
  • Wear extra layers of clothing to keep you warm in cool weather.
  • Open your curtains and blinds during the day to let light in to heat up your home.
  • Close your curtains and blinds as soon as the sun begins to set to keep heat from escaping through the windows.
  • Cook hot meals so your oven and stove can help heat up your home.
  • Plant deciduous trees (trees that have leaves that fall off in autumn) in your yard so that their leaves won’t block the sunlight in winter.
  • Replace your heating system filters every three months.

 

Cut down your lighting bill

  • Use compact florescent bulbs.  They use less energy and last longer.
  • Turn your lights off whenever you leave the room.
  • Use task lighting instead of lighting up the whole room.
  • Use a dimmer switch or candles for a romantic evening.
  • Use lower watt light bulbs.
  • Use a desk light or lamp on your end table instead of lighting up the whole room.
  • Use exterior security lights with motion sensors instead of leaving your porch light on.
  • Use window treatments that let in lots of light.
  • Install skylights if you can afford it.

Save electricity in your kitchen

  • Use microwaves or fix cold meals to cut back on using electric stoves or ovens.
  • Set your refrigerator thermostat to 40 degrees and use a thermometer to verify that the temperature is correct.
  • Keep your refrigerator door closed as much as possible (keep food in the same place so you won’t have to hunt for it with the door open).
  • Set your freezer thermostat to 5 degrees and use a thermometer to verify that the temperature is correct.
  • Keep your freezer full.  Cold foods keep each other cool.
  • Defrost your freezer before ice builds up to 1/4 inch.
  • Buy EnergyStar compliant refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, microwave ovens, stoves, ovens, etc.  They use less electricity.
  • Run your dishwasher wish a full load.

Conserving energy will help us protect our air, water, soil, wildlife, and pocketbook, so try your best to conserve energy.

Save Water

Udaipur -> Today’s ‘Venice’ or tomorrow’s ‘Sahara’ ….?

The hour demands immediate concern towards water conservation. If we do not take appropriate steps than soon the ‘Lake City’ won’t be anything else than ‘Sand City’

Water Harvesting system is nothing new to Indian agriculture. Specially in Rajasthan, a chronic drought prone area, practice of roof-top rain water harvesting techniques and water collection methods for drinking purpose is centuries old.

What is Rain Water Harvesting?

It simply means collection and storage of rainwater by some mechanism to make water available for future use. A large amount of precipitation, which is generally lost as surface flow can be harvested and stored for useful purposes.

There are several rain water harvesting techniques, but the technique of roof top rain water harvesting can be easily adopted. We exploit the underground water throughout the year than why can’t we donate a part of it to the ground again. All we need is 4 months .

Rain Water Harvest Plant:
The water reaching the Roof through precipitation is allowed to flow down by an exhaust pipe which can be connected to a filter which further empties itself into the tube wells.

As a result of this small method we can recharge the groundwater and prevent the underground water table from further deterioration.

Estimation :
According to a calculation

If 1cm of rainfall occurs over a roof of 1000 sq feet then about 1000 litre of water may be collected, i.e. if rainfall is of 40 inches ( approx 100 cm)  than a million litre of pure water will be collected.

Advantages:

The purification of groundwater will continue to be beneficial to health.

Electricity costs will decrease and the amount of ground water will increase.

This Will improve the quality of groundwater .

Excess water wouldn’t flow on the streets.

Please do support and comment.. After all ‘Each Drop Counts’

Support us to keep our city  The City Of Lakes Rather Than City of Sands
