Feedback of WLCI India Teachers Day

Hi All !

Did you know that the universal teacher's day is 05th October and not 05th September ?

Did you know why that is so ?

Have you ever heard of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan ?

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was our very 1st vice president ! He went on to become the 2nd President of India. He was an Indian Philosopher and received several awards.

05th September is his birthday ! In the year 1962 he announced that his birthday was to be celebrated as Teacher's Day in honor of the educators in the Indian Society. 

WLCI Reviews Delhi Night Shelters

WLC Reports on delayed Metro Blue Line

Hi All !

We all felt the traffic this morning on our way to school, college and work. Well WLC feels the major reason was the delayed operation of Delhi Metro. The Blue line which connects Dwarka to Noida, was affected for a little more than an hour in the morning. Trouble started at around 830am on this densely populated track.

Delhi metro officials have accounted the problem on over head electrical wire faults. As a result of this lag, the metro's were stopping at each station for 10 minutes causing further delays to commuters. 

Thank god it wasn't a Monday else it would have been a bad start to the week !

WLCI Reviews on Ebola Virus in India

Hi All !

Unfortunately, it has been reported that there are at least 6 suspects carrying the Ebola Virus in India. However, since proper regulation to restrict the spread of this epidemic had been initiated in the beginning of August, the official have the situation under control.

Yesterday, the suspected patients were admitted into the special quarantine facility constructed at the Delhi airport. I must say the way the health ministry is tackling such an extreme threat is remarkable. Such calmness all in order to maintain peace in the nation !

Happy Independence Day to all !

You all might have experienced on road the full effect of the day. From traffic jams to tri-colored decorations, the authorities in Delhi are not holding back in ensuring the beauty as well as safety for the nation's capital region.

At this time WLCI requests you to have some patience, as the cops are just trying to do their job. Remember when you'll be flying kites or eating samosa's with your near and dear one's, they will be out there on streets ensuring our safety.

The officials have issued a notice stating - Given the full dress rehearsal that is to happen on the 14th of August, commuters are advised to stay off the road - Bus, Car or Auto and use the Metro instead. WLCI requests you to adhere to the request of the noble officers who are working even on a National Holiday.

WLCI Admissions News

Hi All !

Turns out Delhi University is getting a bit more relaxed when it comes admissions. For the first time ever, DU has incorporated a column for the third gender in our society !

This is for now applicable in the post graduate forms, but I hope they incorporate it in all. The Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender community (LGBT) is rejoicing stating their feeling that this a positive move towards a more equal nation !

Everyone is unique but that should not allow us to discriminate against them. They breathe the same air we do, why can't they sit with us and have the same rights ? It's the narrow minded population that is slowly corroding our nation. WLCI strongly feels that eradicating silent villains of our society is vital ! 

WLCI Delhi and Mumbai, Bangalore etc

Hi All !

In a recent study it has been found that Delhi-ites are more adaptable to e-commerce as opposed to other metropolitans, including - Mumbai, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.

According to the survey, 67% of the online shoppers as compared to offline shoppers, hail from our very own Delhi. Followed by Mumbai at 60 % , Ahmedabad at 52% and Bangalore at 50%. 

Also what caught my attention was that maximum shopping occurs whilst the citizen of Delhi are at work !

That is during the hours between 12pm - 4pm on any given working day. Guilty as charged !

The combined effort would be done under the Criminal Tracking Network System.

Strike Call off Review by WLCI

Hi All !

So it turns out half a day was enough to shake up the officials. The representatives of Delhi Autorickshaw Sangh called off their strike at around 1pm on Monday. 

The General Secretary said, " We decided to call off our one-day strike midway after senior traffic police officials assured us that traffic cops would not prevent drivers from taking passengers from Railway stations and Metro stations. They have also assured that traffic cops will not challan drivers by posing as passengers. " 

All's well that end's well I suppose !

Auto Rickshaw Strike - WLCI Reviews

Hi All !

Due to corruption witnessed in micro level by Auto wallah's they have gone on strike today !

The Auto Rickshaw Sangh constitutes of more than 80,000 Rickshaw wallah's. The General Secretary claimed on sunday that :-

"Traffic cops sit in civil dress in our auto and ask for bribe. When we refuse, they seize our vehicles or impose heavy fines on drivers. We have also taken up the matter with Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Joint CP (traffic) Anil Shukla, but nobody has paid any heed to our demand. Auto drivers now don't have any option but to go on strike. We are not allowed to take passengers from Railway stations and Metro stations unless we pay a fixed amount to them."

This is really unfair and their strike is more than justified in my books !

Delhi Metro Fare - Review by WLC

Hi All !

Off late Delhi Metro Authority had raised the minimum amount that could be topped up on the smart card using the vending machine. But now they have dropped down to their original value of Rs 100. Although the top up service using customer care centre still remains the hiked amount f Rs 200.

The statement issued by the authority justifying the hike was :-

" As most of Delhi Metro's smart card users today are regular travellers, and with the opening of the Rapid Metro and more corridors of Phase 3, the maximum fare required for travel will increase as the commuters would cover more distance. Therefore, increasing the minimum add value of the cards will help commuters as they won't have to stand in queue and recharge their cards time and again. "

Whatever be the reason, a drastic change of doubling the amount is unreasonable !

WLC Learning Campus Review

Hi All !

It turns out that yesterday, the Government of India launched world class learning Resource Center for training the bureaucrats. This initiative has been established to ensure a more citizen centric governance in the nation.

The Secretary for the Department of Personnel and Training spoke about the establishment's necessity :-

" Civil servants have to function in a complex and challenging environment today when there are increasing expectations of performance and ability to respond more efficiently and effectively to the needs of the citizens. Keeping this in mind it becomes imperative that all levels of civil service be trained in leadership skills to impart their duties effectively and take forward the vision of a citizen centric government "

Kudos as WLC believes - Learning Today would yield Growth Tomorrow !

How WLC welcomes China Mobile

Hi All !

As if we did not have enough options confusing us in regards to mobile phones. Make way for a new Bond in the market - Xiaomi.

It is popularly known as the brand equivalent to Apple and hence is fondly regarded as the "Apple of China". Partnering with the e commerce giant Flipkart, they have released the model Mi3 in India. They aim at launching 2 more devices.

Immense competition has risen in the mobile industry with both domestic and international players in the game !

What's your Preference ? Honestly, I agree with the fellow below !

Is WLC growing GDP

Hi All !

Well yes, that's what's expected by financial year end 2015 !

Sources report that by FY2015, WLC will be growing in terms of the Gross Domestic Product. The expected range of growth lies between 5.4 - 5.9 %. The Economic Survey reads -

"The growth slowdown in the last two years was broad based, affecting in particular the industry sector. Inflation too declined during this period, but continued to be above the comfort zone, owing primarily to the elevated level of food inflation"

It is expected that if the government takes the right decisions, then the growth rate could rise upto 7 - 8 % in the near future. Steps and measure with regards to improvement of governance and investment could lead to the mentioned rise.

Kudos !
