The successful conception of a child requires that both the male and female partners be normally fertile. In most instances, couples where the female partner is below the age of thirty-five, are able to successfully conceive within four to eight months of regular and unprotected cohabitation. However, in today’s urban milieu there is an increased tendency to delay marriage and parenthood as most couples prefer to establish themselves in their careers and enjoy their financial independence. It is only when they consciously start planning a family and are unsuccessful in doing so, that they receive a rude disappointment and have to face up to a lot of mental, physical and financial strain.

These days, “Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ARTs) “hold out a lot of hope for couples who are unable to conceive a child on their own. However, while the emphasis is always on the lady’s health and reproductive capabilities, it is equally important for the gentleman concerned to have himself checked up by a Male Infertility Expert so that the corrected
procedure may be opted for with far greater chances of a successful conception.

Maintaining its edge over competitors and continuing its rapid growth, Nawras decided to leverage technology advancements and take business information closer to its management team in order to help expedite the decision making processes. It took a small step in this direction with mobile enabling EBS approval requests. EBS approvals were earlier integrated with the email engine, where a process approver was notified via email which the approver could access over a computer (PC) or mobile device. While this setup worked but it was not user friendly and hence a need was felt to have a user friendly approval solution specifically for mobile devices.

Evosys along with its mobility partner, Decimal, proposed acton which will help the management team in saving response time, effort and cost and allow the company to be swifter in its operations. Leave management on mobile is another feature which will also add to employee delight. While improving the management and employee experience, the solution will also open an opportunity for smoother operation and in turn continuance of faster growth of Nawras.

Mobile based Approval Management system ‘acton’ will make approval notifications available to managers and management on their mobile devices so that they can take action even “on-the-go”. So there are ‘No more delays in approvals’. The solution covers the following features for Oracle EBS R12:
Approval Management for Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order, Invoice and Absence
New request submission for Leave
On iPhone, Android, Blackberry and iPad

AOIC, an Association of Overseas Educational Consultancies is to be formed to check unscrupulous agents and consultants: Surya Ganesh Valmiki, CMD of the Valmiki Group

Students Visa Rejection rate is increasing particularly in the past couple of years especially those from Andhra Pradesh and Punjab, informed the speakers.

Hyderabad, 6th October 2012: US is the most popular destination for higher education. It still hosts three times as many Indian students as the UK and is still is the most preferred destinations for higher education for Indians, particularly South Indian. Among the South Indians the craze is seen more in Andhra Pradesh. Economic slowdown and low employment rates in the US has not dampened Indian students interest in the USA said Mr. Himish Bhatnagar, an Independent US Visa Consultant and a former Chief Consular Investigator of US Embassy in New Delhi addressing a gathering in city today. He was the Chief Guest at the Seminar on F1 Visa and inaugurated the Yukthi 2012, an education fair.

Earlier welcoming the gathering Mr. Surya Ganesh Valmiki, Chairman and Managing Director of Valmiki Group informed that India has about 5000 overseas educational consultants who promote education abroad. Off which majority of them are in Punjab, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Our state alone has about 2000 small and big overseas educational consultancies. It is time to check the credentials of these agents. Towards this direction we have been harping upon on idea to form an Association of Overseas Educational Consultancies (AOIC) for the past one year. And it will become a reality in next six months, informed Mr. Surya Ganesh Valmiki.

One retired top cop who earlier associated with State Task Force has been requested to head the association to begin with. Then we will approach Credible Overseas Consultants to become a members in the association. Initially we expect to have about 500 members. This association will in turn organize Career Fairs in Overseas Education. Introduce only credible foreign universities. We will also approach embassies of countries of USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Singapore, Europe particularly Germany, Italy which are the top destinations for overseas studies to recognize the association. We will also approach CIEC (Canada Indo Educational Council) and AIRC(American International Recruitment Council) etc and others informed Surya Ganesh Valmiki.

The proposed association will have national headquarter in Hyderabad and regional chapters will be set up in different cities across the country, he informed. Right now due diligence work is going on. The Association will be fully functional in next six months, he told the gathering.

The student Visa rejection rate is increasing drastically for the past couple of years especially from Andhra Pradesh and Punjab he said. Before the situation becomes worst, we need to put the systems in place to help genuinely the students, he informed.

The reasons for the mushrooming consultancies he said was due to almost no entry barrier, and almost no investment. And everybody wants to cash in on from the craze for overseas education. We also find fault with parents and students who are always in a rush and look for shortcut methods, he said.

We will also approach Government of India for a strong governing body to regulate these services. The Government of India was considering setting up a monitoring agency in the past but nothing much has moved since then, he lamented. China has more educational consultants than India. But, they are well organized and students are never taken for a ride there, he said and added that

US has over 5000 institutions and accounts for 25% of the top 200 universities in the world. Unlike general perception, the enrolments of Indian students in US Universities is not come down. But, it is not gone up drastically as well. You know there is a slump everywhere. Still lot of students prefer America for their higher education. In India Delhi, Punjab, Mumbai, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka top for studies in USA said Mr. Himish Bhatnagar, while addressing a seminar here in Hotel Katriya in city. Organised by city based Valmiki Group on the side line of Yukthi 2012, an Education Fair which is being participated by over 25 USA and Canadian Universities.

Some of these Universities include University of South Florida, Fanshawe College, Oregon State University, Lambton College, Colorado State University, Dalhousie University, University of Idaho, Royal Roads University, University of Mass (Lowell), Thomson Rivers University, University of Mass (Dartmouth), University of Mass (Boston), Kent State University, South East Missouri State University, Rider University. The objective of the Yukthi 2012 Education Fair is to bridge the knowledge gap between the Universities and Student Community and facilitate smooth admission and visa processing said Mr. Surya Ganesh Valmiki, CMD of the Valmiki Group.

F1(is a non immigrant, fulltime, student visa) Visa Seminar was held at three different timings first at 11.30am, 3pm and 4.30pm during the day to facilitate the rush for the same.

Himish Bhatnagar, Former Chief Consular Investigator, US Embassy with the American Embassy, New Delhi, Himish was a Chief Consular Investigator – Anti-Fraud Unit (AFU). He was looking after the complete consular processing including Anti Fraud Unit, Immigrant and Non-immigrant Unit. Himish gave information on Students Visa Processing, US Universities Admission Processes, Selection of University, Budget, Future, Different Visa Categories and what are the expectation of the Visa Officer etc and also other visa categories both immigration and non immigration.

Little over a lakh Indian students seek admission in various US universities each year. Indians are the second biggest community after China seeking admission there he said and added that Indians account nearly 14% of the total International student population in USA. US has about eight lakh international students studying in that country, he informed. University of Southern California, University of Illinois and the New York University are the three top Universities with highest International students population he said.

One shift seen in the recent past is unlike in the past students going to US have become more cost conscious. They know precisely what they want. Indian students have enormous advantage of English as we learn English from our childhood. While Chinese learn English only go to abroad. Germany is off late is being preferred especially for Engineering and Pharmacy courses informed the speakers who spoke on the occasion.

A separate Workshop on Canada Visa was also held at 1:30 pm and 2 pm by an industry expert Ms. Harvinder Bhatnagar, who is also Career Counsellor with Navbharat Times of Times of India group.

Valmiki Group is a name to reckon in overseas education and has been organizing several seminars, expos for the benefit of the student community. For the past several years it has been working to bridge the education divide.

The city witnessed a strong growth in residential supply as well as capital values until first half year of 2008. Residential weighted average capital values escalated from approx. INR 1,000 per sq. ft. in the year 2000 to INR 3,100 per sq. ft. by Q3 2008 exhibiting an annual appreciation of approximately 15%.Post the slump triggered by the global financial crisis, the city has failed to replicate the growth rate of pre 2008 years. The political turmoil on Telangana issue could not have happened at a worse time for Hyderabad real estate. The period after the year 2008 has been characterized by fewer project launches and declining or at best stagnating capital values.The weighted average capital value has witnessed a decline from INR 3,100 per sq. ft. in Q3 2008 to INR 2,980 per sq. ft. by the end of Q1 2012 exhibiting a negative annual return of 1.4%.

At the current valuations, the city is one of the most undervalued compared to other prominent cities with comparable growth drivers.Capital values in some of the central locations such as Soumajigudda, Begumpet, Jublie Hills and Banjara Hills are comparable or in some cases lower than existing capital values of peripheral locations of other comparable cities such as Gurgaon, NOIDA, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Chennai. Capital values are very close to their fundamental levels and the percentage downside risk from current levels would be lower compared to other major cities. A higher inventory overhang would be deterrent to any immediate appreciation, but robust commercial driver, upcoming metro and improved infrastructure is expected to drive absorption rates in medium term.

Samir Jasuja, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PropEquity, says “The average capital values of residential units in the prime locations of Hyderabad are comparable or in some cases lower than the average capital values existing in peripheral locations of Gurgaon, Navi Mumbai and Thane. The comparison reveals the fact that the average capital value in Hyderabad is going at a discount of approximately 30%.”

The residential real estate capital values in the city of Hyderabad are undoubtedly at lucrative levels. None-the-less, the risk of political uncertainty and marginal fall in capital values due to any violent agitations cannot be over looked. The main challenge for the buyers would be timing the entry into the market. On the other hand, stagnant capital values coupled with increasing input cost have already squeezed developer’s margins. Developers are keen to generate quick cash flows. To lure home buyers, developers would resort to affordable segment projects at lucrative capital values coupled with freebies and interesting schemes.

Gaurav Pandey, Senior Vice President & Head – Research and Consulting, says “In case pessimistic macroeconomic scenario sustains, the region may witness a price correction of 5% to 10% in short term. However, in medium term investments in the city’s real estate can generate an annual return of 12% to 15% from current levels in addition to rental income from assets.In the given economic scenario, investing in Hyderabad makes more sense primarily on account of valuations. In the long run, Hyderabad can undeniably compete with the hottest real estate markets in India. To summarize, the long term opportunities overweighs short term risks.”

Around 260 passionate motorists will compete in the Xtreme-2w, Xtreme-4w and Adventure categories

Shimla, 6th October, 2012: Maruti Suzuki’s most endearing and challenging motorsport rally, the 14th Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya was flagged off amidst much fervor and excitement by Ms. Sunila Dhar, Deputy General Manager (Marketing) Maruti Suzuki in the presence of Mr. Manjeev Bhalla from Himalayan Motorsports Association.

The competition which is in its 14th year running is fraught with perils and undulating terrains. The Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya is the true test of a competitor’s dexterity in handling rough roads, uncertain and extreme weather conditions and the strength and endurance of his vehicle. The competition will require the participants to traverse a distance of 1800 kms and will span across 6 days. This year the first competitive leg of the rally will start off from Shimla on 7th Oct 2012 and culminate in Leh on 12th Oct 2012.

This year’s Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya will offer the ultimate adrenaline rush to around 150 teams with around 260 participants in the four wheeler and two wheeler categories who will brave the inhospitable terrains and weather conditions of the Western Himalayas to compete for the top prize. The tough route this year goes through some of the highest motorable passes and human settlements in the world. These include Darcha (3360 mts), Keylong (3440 mts), Leh (3524 mts), Kaza (3650 mts), Dhanka (3894 mts), Losar (4079 mts), Rumtse (4300 mts), Kunzum La (4551 mts), Komik (4587 mts), Pang (4600 mts) & Wari La (5313 mts).

On the occasion, Mr. Mayank Pareek, COO (Marketing & Sales), Maruti Suzuki said, “Maruti Suzuki’s association with motoring events like Raid-de-Himalaya represents the company’s DNA of providing excitement to India’s motoring enthusiasts. Through such stimulating motorsports events, the company offers the best driving and sporty experiences to people across gender and age. Be it for a young enthusiast, an amateur or a professional, Maruti Suzuki’s motorsports events offer thrill and joy of motorsport to all. It will always be our endeavor to take these experiences a notch higher by organizing various such motorsport events like the Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya, Dakshin Dare and Desert Storm. These motorsport activities, in addition to providing rallying thrills, helps the participants to develop a sense of timing, judgment and also an ability to evaluate vehicle handling patterns at given speeds.”

This year’s event has seen participation of around 260 motoring enthusiasts from all across the country and abroad. These motorists will compete across three categories: X-treme 4-wheelers (50 teams), X-treme 2-wheelers (34 participants) (both Xtreme 2W & 4W categories cater to professional motorsport enthusiasts), and 60 teams in the Adventure Trial category for amateurs. There are 14 foreigners participating in the rally this year from Austria, Netherlands and UAE.

The Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya invites participation in three categories: Moto Xtreme, Adventure Trial and Bike Xtreme categories. The participants are grouped in different categories depending upon their prior experience, endurance levels and expertise in handling the escalating difficulty levels. The Moto Xtreme category which is the toughest of the lot is open only to those 4-wheeler drivers who have prior rallying experience and who have competed in one of the earlier editions of the Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya. There are 50 teams participating in the Moto Xtreme 4-wheeler category in this year’s event.

The Adventure Trial runs on a similar challenging route as that of the Moto Xtreme 4W category and is open to those motorsport enthusiasts, who would like to take on the Himalayas but without the tough competition, difficulty and stress involved in the Moto Xtreme category. Adventure trial section is open only to stock cars and SUVs and only certain safety-related modifications are allowed in the competing cars. In this year’s event 60 teams are competing in the Adventure Trial category.

The Bike Xtreme section is open to motorcycles of all types and makes subject to their fulfilling the stipulated regulations. Participants in this category are probably the bravest, as they have to face the hostile weather and tough terrains without the comforts of a cabin surrounding them. The 14th Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya will have 34 biker participants.

Maruti Suzuki & Motorsports
Maruti Suzuki has been actively promoting motorsports in the country for over a decade now. To popularize action sport, the Maruti Suzuki motorsport calendar is packed with exciting motoring events. Be it for a motorsport enthusiast, an amateur or a professional, there are events that offer the thrill and joy of motorsport to one and all. The annual calendar of events includes Autocross, Treasure Hunt and professional rallies including Maruti Suzuki Raid-de-Himalaya, Maruti Suzuki Desert Storm and Maruti Suzuki Dakshin Dare.

Mark Inglis became the first ever double amputee to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. He did so on May 15, 2006 after 40 days of climbing.He also won a silver medal for cycling at the Sydney 2000 Paralympics Games.

Over the last seven years Mark has specialised in keynote addresses that are based around mountaineering as a metaphor for business and life, utilising his wide experience in the mountains, vineyards and boardrooms. To take that experience a step further he also offers a range of learning programs. Please visit his website at http://markinglis.co.nz/ .

The students of the The British School came away with strong lessons from the talk -of making an opportunity out of adversity, believing in oneself, having the courage of one’s convictions, daring to dream and making the impossible happen. As the first double amputee to have climbed Mt. Everest and to have, Mr. Inglis was indeed the perfect role model. Mr. Inglis’s words and experiences confirmed that heroism is not just about one great deed but is about perseverance and a ‘never say die’ attitude. He was asked questions by the students and the underlying theme of all his answers was-make the best of what you have, seize every opportunity and believe in yourself.

Dr. Nick Argent, Director of The British School said, “Our students have learned very emphatically that the quality of their lives will be determined by their own actions and an ability to innovate, adapt and reorient one’s thinking”.
