fineleg Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday announced that Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card holders who are qualified professionals will be allowed to practise in India. Thursday, 08 January , 2009, 11:39 http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14832679 Inaugurating the seventh Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Chennai, the Prime Minister said the government has launched a comprehensive e-governance project on migration. Under this project, every worker would be issued a ‘Smart Card’ that will contain the details of the worker, like his work contract, his employer etc. “The objective of the project will be to transform the emigration process into a simple, transparent, orderly and humane one,” he said. 'It's an opportunity for pravasis to come back to their homeland' The Prime Minister launched the interactive web portal – the Global India Knowledge Network – to connect people of Indian origin from a variety of disciplines to users at national, state and local levels in India. “Our hope is that the Network will facilitate transfer of knowledge and serve as a virtual think tank to generate ideas on issues such as development, education and healthcare,” he said. The Prime Minister thanked overseas Indians for the role they had played in alleviating India’s nuclear isolation. He said this is a sign of the growing role the Indian origin communities are playing in public policy and opinion making across the globe. The Prime Minister said that he had seen the contribution of the Indian workers in the Gulf when he visited the Oman and Qatar. “I was amazed to see their grit and determination, and how they are contributing to wealth creation in these countries.” He said India is concerned about the tension in the Middle East as a result of the attack in Gaza, “that has led to the needless loss of many innocent men, women and children.” He said India had condemned the attack on Gaza and hoped international community would get together and help restore peace in the region as soon as possible. Addressing the gathering, the Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs, Vayalar Ravi, said: “The focus of the PBD this year is to raise the level of discourse across the economic, social, and cultural space.” PBD helped accelerate reverse brain drain’ In his address, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M Karunanidhi, thanked the Prime Minister and the Overseas Affairs Minister for choosing Chennai as the venue for this year’s PBD meet. “Tamil Nadu will be the top state to lead the country in economic recovery,” he added. The Chief Guest of the PBD 2009 meet, Ramdien Sardjoe, Vice-President of Suriname, said: “ India and Suriname have close ties in the areas of healthcare, energy, agriculture, banking, ICT, education and culture.” “We will back India in any global forum in its activities against terror and also support the country for a permanent seat in the United Nations,” Sardjoe added. In his welcome address, K Mohandas, Secretary, Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, said that 1,500 delegates from across 50 countries are taking part in the global meet. The External Affairs Minister, Pranab Mukherjee, also took part in the meet. The Chennai Trade Centre – venue of the seventh Pravasi Bharatiya Divas meet- was virtually a fortress following an e-mail threat sent by the terror outfit, Deccan Mujahideen.

fineleg Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Off topic, but related to "occupation" so will post here instead of a separate thread: 14 ways to six figures: Maybe you don't want to spend all that time taking classes in obscure subjects while hoping to find your calling and piling up student loan debt. Maybe you don't really care so much about college. You just want to work and make money. You can do it, but there aren't many fields where it happens very often. In our list (see below) of 14 potentially six-figure jobs that don't require a four-year diploma, only two have a median wage of above $100,000. For the rest, you'll have to be in the top 10% of earners, and even then you may find yourself working 50 to 60 hours a week. Dr. Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis at Payscale.com, says that most of these jobs share a few qualities. (Payscale's research provided the numbers that made this list possible. The company measured the average earnings for people with eight or more years in their field.) No test can tell an employer how good you might be at some of these lines of work -- real estate broker or fashion designer, for example. That's why a degree is less important to a potential employer than field experience and demonstrated past success. Either you're good at it or you're not. Many of these jobs rely on variable pay (commission and overtime) to break six figures. Good plumbers, ultrasound techs and construction managers generally do a lot of overtime. It's far more valuable to a company to pay them extra than to hire an additional employee, Lee says. And that means workers can break past what they would earn if confined to 40 hours a week. Stress is pretty much a given in all these occupations. A high price for failure is not uncommon. Cost estimators can't estimate too high on a project or they'll risk losing it to a competitive bidder. They can't go too low or their company won't make money on the deal. Radiation therapists and ultrasound technologists have to worry about the danger of malpractice suits. Court reporters mustn't miss a word in the courtroom. Air traffic controllers know that hundreds of lives ride on their actions. Almost all these positions produce revenue that can give them a clearly defined monetary value. An executive chef at a hotel can pull in guests or send them fleeing. An ultrasound technologist or radiation therapist paid $100,000 a year can bring the hospital several times that. A sales manager's value can often be pinpointed in dollars and cents at the end of the year. Also, a few of these jobs -- air traffic controller, police supervisor, court reporter -- have unions to thank for their good pay. Lee says now is as good a time as any to start on the path to one of these jobs. The market may be in bad shape, but companies will still need competent workers. When better to find out if you're truly good at something than when it's most difficult? He says of people who make more than $100,000, "At the end of the day, the largest percentage of them are degree-holders." But you definitely can get there this way -- not that it's easy. "You learn on the job. You pay attention. You move your way up." Could it be time to design your five- or 10-year path to six figures? Below is a list of 14 options for possible six-figure jobs without a degree. 1. Real Estate Broker 2. Air Traffic Controller 3. Small Business Owner/Operator 4. Fashion Designer 5. Plumber, Pipe Fitter or Steamfitter 6. Non-Retail Sales Manager 7. Network/Data Communications Manager 8. Construction Superintendent/Manager 9. Radiation Therapist 10. Police and Detective Supervisor 11. Ultrasound Technologist 12. Hotel Executive Chef 13. Court Reporter 14. Construction Cost Estimator
