dear friends

Yesterday (22nd November 2010), when the Supreme Court was hearing the petition against the present Central Vigilance Commissioner of India Mr P J Thomas, the Hon'ble judges made an observation that for higher offices like CVC, impeccable integrity was needed.  Mr P J Thomas is facing a criminal charge sheet in a Kerala Court.  In spite of this, as against the opposition from Leader of the Opposition, the Hon'ble Prime Minister appointed him as the Central Vigilance Commissioner, to head the highest watch dog institution to eradicate corruption.  Hence the petition in Supreme Court.

Immediately the Attorney General, representing Government of India  responded by saying, "If impeccable integrity is a criterion, then every judicial appointment will be subjected to scrutiny and every constitutional appointment will come under challenge," This statement was flashed immediately in all the TV Channels and it triggerred a great debate.  

Today afternoon, I contacted Mr N Vittal, former Central Vigilance Commissioner of India for his views, whether impeccable integrity was needed for such positions or not.  Mr N Vittal was the first CVC to be appointed by Prime Minister, Home Minister and the Leader of the opposition jointly through consensus, as per directions of Supreme Court in early 2000.

Mr Vittal was well known for his tough  measures to eradicate corruption and to bring in transparency in the Government system.  At that time,  he used to publish the names of corrupt IAS officers in the official website of CVC.  That angered many corrupt officials then.  Even some of the IAS officers Associations passed resolutions, against him.  His measures were welcomed by the media and the public then.  Even the word media carried about this method .  Though he was criticised by many officials for his measures, even his bitter critics could not point the fingers on him for any wrong doings during his entire career.  That was his 'impeccable integrity'.  Because of his 'clean' background, he was able to discharge his duties to the nation fully.  

In an exclusive interview over telephone for PodUniversal, Mr Vittal  gives  four reasons as to why unimpeachable and impeccable integrity for the persons who hold highest posts is needed..    Please listen to his interesting interview in the following link  (14 minutes)

[India_Vision_2020] Lord Rama gives 7 rules for effective communication in Ramayana, citing Hanuman

 

Dear friends

Please watch the podcast interview in the following link:

A very interesting incident about the components of 'effective communication' is narrated in Valmiki Ramayana, the great Indian epic. In the Ramayana, Hanuman meets Lord Rama and Lakshmana for the first time in the forests and introduces himself and his master Sugriva.   

Impressed with the way  Hanuman, communicated,  Lord Rama admires the communication capabilities of Hanuman. In the 7 or 8 slokas, Lord Rama explains the important aspects of communication skills of Hanuman, that impressed him most.  Though, they have been told ten thousand years back, they are relevant  even today both for writing and speaking skills.  They are:

1.  Hanuman spoke very briefly.  Not too long or too short.  He spoke only for the required level;
2.  He also spoke with clarity and without ambiguity;
3.  He spoke without any grammatical errors;
4.  He used only appropriate words, that cannot be replaced with any other word;
5.  He spoke in a medium voice that is audible to the other person.  Not too loud or too feeble;
6. His pronunciation of words was correct.  The way he was pronouncing the words was like a music and it was pleasant;
7. All the words spoken by him, went to the heart straight. 

While addressing the Business Communication course students of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Chennai, Mr B S Raghavan IAS (Retd) explained the seven aspects of communication skill of Hanuman, that impressed Lord Rama.  Mr B S Raghavan is one of the senior retired bureaucrats of India and he has served as the first Secretary of National Integration Council, when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the Chairman.  Mr Raghavan is a well known columnist in Hindu Businessline.

The seven aspects explained earlier, summarises the components of effective business  communication, that are described in millions of pages in various text books.  They are more relevant in the present day context.

I met Dr Abdul Kalam last night (10th November 2010) at Raj Bhavan, Chennai during his one-day trip here.  At the end of the conversation, I requested him a message for Indian youth.   I recorded his one minute message on how innovation helps the growth of the nation.  He is a great communicator and he is able to convey a wonderful  message within one minute.

His message applies to all the professionals working in various domains, and not necessarily in science and technology.

[India_Vision_2020] Inspiring story of a serial inventor Arvind Thiagarajan

Former Indian President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam always says that  innovation and technology only can help sustained economic growth..  Though, India has been doing an excellent job in the software domain, the Indian professionals are being used only as 'workers' by the Multinational companies.

He has also obtained FDA approvals from US and CE approval from Europe.  He is also planning to add  more hardware and software products and dedicate to India.  For him the hobby is 'innovation'.
