multiply your money October 2, 2011 - republished here http://homefina.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/multiply-your-money/

[Durga Puja Special for distant Bengal Homes – How to multiply your money, whether you live in a village or in a city . My prayer to Devi Durga Durgati Nashini that each Bengali home gets filled with sounds of laughter and an enduring happiness that connects and transcends from generation to generation. Dear readers, these can be applied across the human society where ever they live ] Sixteen Rules of Money Making, Bengali Homes may ignore at their own peril. Rule No 1: Keep a tap on addiction. Remove addition of Cigarette, Liquor and other health hazards. It will save your family’s Cash outgo and increase savings. Rule No 2:Don’t follow the much adored “Neighbour’s Evy, Owners Pride” policy on your capital purchases. Don’t get trapped in that vicious circle. Buy as per your necessity and ability. Have patience to defer big purchase to match your monthly cash flow. Follow your own plan diligently and that would bring peace and comfort and encourage confidence.. Rule No 3: Dont think Time Deposit, i.e., Fixed Deposit in PSU Bank is the only route to generate income from idle money. Even in PSU banks, your money is secured upto a limit by Central Government’s guarantee scheme. Rule No.4: Don’t think investing in Share Market is equivalent to gambling. Wise long term Investor with a proper choice of scrip can expect to get a return substantially higher than FD. Can follow SIP in Share investment to averaging market volatility. Rule No.5: Investment in Gold and Silver with a portfolio share of 5% would absorb the inflation factor in your asset value Rule No 6: Keep 30% of your asset in real estate. 30 % in secured Govt deposits. 5-10% in gold and remaining 30-35% on risk based Share-Mutual Fund- private investment. Rule No 7: As you age, reduce exposure of this risk based portfolio and convert the same into annuity-based schemes to take care of post retirement necessities. Rule No. 8: Go for Medical Insurance - dont think of it as a waste of money but payment to protect your asset against emergency payments of sickness. Rule No.9: Take Life Insurance policy but do not buy policy of insurance with investment as a component. Insurance companies have the worst record of investment returns. Go for pure Term policies that will cover your life at a much lower rate for a much bigger sum insured and it will take care of your housing loan requirement. Dont believe an insurance agent. Search the net and get the facts and match it with what agent say. Rule No 10: Use Credit Cards for payments but pay the dues promtly within the next due date or else interest will begin to shoot making you a loser. Instead plan your Expense Budget annually and split it into monthly and take your spouse into confidence to benefit from use of Credit cards with rewards points and cash backs which you can encash. Rule No 11: Never take loan so long you can manage with liquidating existing assets as every loan has a cost that would burden your asset growth. Rule No 12: Take care of right combination of food, proper physical activity, periodic health check up – always believe Health is Wealth in the long run. Rule no 13: Take care of hygiene within home and in the neighbourhood to prevent spread of diseases and infections. Rule No 14: All members of family make sure to sit together once in a day and play an indoor game together that would improve family mental health and help all members with boaster energy to follow their life goals more diligently. Rule no 15: Never quarrel with your neighbor, rather help them in their bad days. Even if you hate a person, never show disrespect or do any harm to him. Multiply your network of good company. That will lead to more connections to have more avenues to earn money. Rule no.16: There is no bad job or Good Job. All works are good. Respect the work and the worker. Love Work as a worship of God. God will make you prosper. Money Making is not an one year wonder. It needs the involvement of the whole family to follow the above meticulous rules over a decade to reap huge dividend. I often wonder that Bengal has everything from intellect , to geography to history to endowment of nature but majority of homes lack the proper financial discipline to family prosperity, that make many unfortunate newspaper headline or often social or even family setbacks. Family Fiance is as critical a theme as the careerist goal of earnings through job. Here it is my humble submission as a distinguished Finance Expert to try to reach out through the medium of blog and request bloggers who read this, please make it a campaign to make all families observe the sixteen rules and God willing, ,let millions of home blossom and make each corner re vibrate with peace and tranquility. Sharadiya Subheja My heartiest greetings on this festive season.

Origin of Money

noreply@blogger.com (gm) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:49:00 +0000

Origin of Money September 21, 2006 - republished here http://homefina.wordpress.com/2006/09/21/origin-of-money/

It was Money that brought the curtain down on the primitive barter systems of commodity exchange. In ancient times, each empire of repute began releasing metal coins stamped with the emplem of emperor. Was there any control on how many coins should be minted and be issued to the people of the state? As it seems, in early days, the coins were like a token - a permit to buy any goods of choice and were issued by the ruler when goods were bought from the people. And men had to accept the token because the ruler was powerful and despite the habit of bartering, the usage of coin remained as a tradition and it indicated a binding on the part of the ruler’s family to recognise certain debt to the person who owns that coin. Now who decided the value of coin? A diamond to a monkey is of no value. These coins' metals ranged from Silver, Bronze to Gold. It is the rule of economy that the scarcity and utility of the metal determines the value of the metal and of the coin. There was a time, when metal had no immediate relevance than using it for preparing weapons – so metal stood for safety. Those who had the metals, they felt more secured by making a weapon out of it – or perhaps sharpening the tip of the weapon with a metal plate. But with passage of time, people also began to enjoy creativity and began to wear these metals as a sysmbol of pride on their body and thus ornaments were born. That gave fillip to the demand for the hard metals – possessing metals became a sysmbol of pride and began to be counted as a part of wealth along with the catlestock and other perishable and non-perishable items of human use. That is the background story of how coins minted by the ruler began to be accepted as a item of undisputed wealth. In the beginning, the people continue to barter with other people and coin traded only with the ruler who used to buy his vaste empire’s needs by issuing coins. Later, with the popularity of the coins, people began to transact partly barter and partly with coins. The diffeences were settled with coins when there were hardly any commune or family that do not possess any coin. Later, all the purchasable items began to be rated in terms of number of coins of gold or silver or of bronze. That set the pace for the system of pricing and money based economy as it was easier to carry coins than to carry other heavy items. The same logic that pushes the plastic money became the guiding factor influencing the money economy. But, was it known, how many coins needed to be minted by the ruler? The ruler’s wealth decided the volume of coins. Suppose, had the ruler issued less coins, that would not be embarassing, but issuing more would put the ruler in debt – as against each coin he had to offer some goods or service of equal value! When he issues more and cannot honour the coin presented by any man, implies disrespect for the king. That is what we call bankrupsy today. So, some wisdom of coin issuance dawned upon the rulers, that coins cannot be issued more than the wealth that ruler owns. Now, who will control these complicated matters of wealth valuation of a ruler spread over a vast land. So, Ruler put an intelligent man in his chamber who would keep records of his wealth and the records of coin minting and issuance to the people.So the duty of Accountant was born. Ruler now became free from the nitty-gritty of Coin management. In the meantime, a change also took place in the ruler’s estate. Many products of common usage began to be produced or mined in large scale by the people and often Ruler’s requirement of those items surpassed what had been directed as Tax Collection. Necessity is the mother of invention. The ruler’s intelligent Accountant sugested that the ruler can keep a completely separate account of coins procured from the market through ruler’s selling of any goods or services and a separate record of collection of taxes in the form of coins. That was a defining moment in the monetary history of mankind – when the minted money management and ruler’s wealth management were consciously disintegrated to ensure better control over the money and the emergence of governing state and its financing yardsticks.

Matter of Indian Rupee and the common man of India

noreply@blogger.com (gm) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:12:00 +0000

Indian Rupeee is going up or going down a few notches - brisk trades do take place in foreign exchange market as also in the Stock markets spread across major cities of Indiia. Script prices of some Fortune-five hundred companies sucks up lifeline air or release gas to be comfortable. That is everyday story. It doesn’t interest the common man who does not have any financial stake. The jump in Oil priices and its reflection in share market is also of no importance to the common man as they don’t put money in the shares of oil companies of India.

News of Oil Exploring companies find of new gas field is also of no news to this common man as he is not a stake holder.

These matters never excite them though it tickles the news media and the the business players and their allies.Why this happen.

Lets crunch the stat. The simple fact that out of a billion odd population, the super rich and the rich constitue two percent of the population. Then the upper and the middle class with suffiicient purchasing power may constitute not more than another ten percent. So, the remaining eighty-eight pecent of India’s population constitue the majority comprising the people leaving below poverty line ( as per Indian Standard ), the poor who are slightly better off and the lower middle class mass who survives but have not enough purchasing power.If we measure “poor” by the American standard - an individual’s earning not more than ten thousand dollars in an year or for a family as a whole not exceeding twenty thousand dollars, then most of the people categorised under lower middle class shall slip below the poverty liine.

Anyway, Indian economy and US economy are different. Cost of living is also not similar. Let’s say, a man can survive a month in India with INR three thousand per month or INR thirty-six thousand per annum equivalent to US seven hundred eighty-two dollars!! It is possible. And so in India these families are not treated as poor – they are lower middle class.

If we go by percentage – the gigantic nature of the problem may not be understood unless we quantify the figure in numbers. If we say eight eight crore people living in India in towns, villagees, cities who are either poor or not well off, the alarm will start ringing in your head. But that is the harse truth.

Now the question is how to run the economy of hundred-crore people catering to the interest of only twelve percent of the population who have financial and muscle power, and who actually rules India.

There lies the irony. In USA one in every tenth is a poor and one in every fourth black is poor too. But by defining poverty as per the convenience of the ruler, what is flashed across the globe by Indian media is a very rosy picture of India. Only the other day, a Mumbai turist guide was booked by the local government for encouraging Slum tourism to a few foreigners in exchange for a few hundred bucks.. But how far one can hide the true identity of a nation – the real INDIA, that’s what we wonder. Further, a democracy is meant to be a rule of the majority. But while the true illiterates amongst the eighty-eight percent section is alarmingly high , leading to a picarious situation where common man is bribed and forced to sell his Vote for a candidate. That’s the darker side of Indian poverty (which we may look into in a separate blog).These are the representatives, a sizeable of them have allegedly brived through the elctions and become the rule makers reaching the corridor of Parliament. Can it reflect the aspirations of that eight eight percent have-not population . But who is listening!!!

After staying years away from the home, sometimes you feel the pain that you wish you could give the whole life for the welfare of the society. Banglar janya mon kemon kore. gram banglar roop ta jhakan maner aanginai bhase, mone hai ken jiban ta gramer dhulo makaha rastai katea deeina?( My mind yearns for Bengal, when the beauty of rural bengal flashes in my mind, I ask my mind why not spend the rest of my life on the dusty roads of Bangla!)

Jiban ta paisar aar sonsarer jatakole aaman bhabhe phasa, iicha thakleo durbal maner manusher pichutan ta boro bhoi paiee dei.( My life is so miserably chained in the wheel of family and money, even if I wish I get frightened by my weaker mind pulling me back.

That day I decided I would like to get engaged with any hard working anonymous NGO who serve a small section of the Bengal hinterland without political affiliation and bias.

I know of many heroes of Bengal, many unsung heroes of Bengal who have had selflessly untiringly serving for the uplift of our community.

The vision of the organisation With increased population and consequent increase in the demand of biomass, people had denuded thousands of hectares of land. As a result, the forest based agro ecosystem had undergone very quick environmental changes causing threats not only to the survival of numerous species of plants and animals but also to the livelihood of men. Since, environmental degradation and poverty are very closely related, before it is too late, appropriate actions need to be initiated to help to regenerate the natural productive base which has very high potential of generating benefits of all sections of the community. If the local people are motivated and proper technologies are identified including the local people\'s knowledge and tailored them to address to the need of people, well-being of masses can be brought about. With this conviction the organization has started its activities.

It is committed to providing a range of support services to marginalised sections of our society in an equitable and gender-sensitive and ethical manner. Mission of Praajak: In today’s patriarchal society males still wield an enormous power in decision making, be it at the social level, in their families, community or national level. Therefore non-participation and non-involvement of them in various development programmes particularly in health and education make such intervention programmes ineffective and unsustainable. Non-participation of males in social development programmes often related to and results in misinterpretation of their attitudes and beliefs about masculinity. Crime, violence, sexual abuse, chemical dependence and social deviation in males play a morbid role in their growing up as masculine. Praajak challenges such traditional constructions that come in the way of inculcating social responsibility in males.

Contact Person : Amlan Kusum Ganguly
Purpose : Child rights
Aim/Objective/Mission : The vision of a couple of committed individuals germinated in the slums of kolkata in 1996. It led to the creation of prayasam, which today reaches out to a million children.
Unicef, which parented the birth of prayasam, continued fostering it for the next 10 years together with the association of several prominent citizens of the city. The founders, after much deliberation, decided to tackle the problem of health headlong. They could see only one way of correcting this problem and that was to involve the people of kolkata to help the government in its health for all mission.
Prayasam's activities have spread to seven districts and assistance has come from the local government, leading business, corporate houses and the citizens. Committed individuals from every walk of life have chipped in. Overseas funding agencies and global implementing agencies such as the undp, dfid, world vision india and lutheran world service (India) have also been adequately impressed by the work of prayasam and funded certain of its activities in a few districts. Ngos like vikramshila education resource society has also partnered prayasam to strengthen and spread its peer educator concept.
Since its inception, the goal of the prayasam team has been to ensure that "every child gets healthcare…and living in a healthy environment".
Kolkata urban services for the poor, one of the newest additions to department for international development's is continuing its endeavour to reduce urban poverty in india. Kusp will imbibe and implement the dfid's overall policies with singular focus of reducing poverty. The project will target to improve the quality of lives of millions of slum dwellers within project area. Prayasam has been chosen as one of their grantees in the innovative challenge fund projects supported by kusp, whose main objective, improvement of the quality of life of the urban poor, matches that of the ngo.
Over this 12-year period, prayasam has organised thousands of children in the slum areas to become peer leaders/educators, catalysing lifestyle changes within their communities. Focusing primarily on preventive health, sanitation and hygiene these children are changing the physical and social environment within which they live. Prayasam has developed a unique model based on the children's right to participation and development wherein they act as agents of change by forming groups and spreading awareness on health, hygiene and sanitation within their community. The area health minders are supported in their work by prayasam with information, training, developing information, education and communication materials and approach the local governments for infrastructure needs and requirements.
In a rare achievement, the secretary and the founder-director of the organization, amlan kusum ganguly, was awarded with ashoka fellowship for his novel concepts on area health minders. More recently, he was invited to present his concept at the global summit on urban population health by the rockefeller foundation in bellagio, italy for his innovative solutions to urban health problems in slum areas. In December 2007, piyali mazumdar, director of prayasam, also attended a global conference on safe motherhood and women's health issues organised by women deliver in london.
As we look back on another year and reflect on achievements and obstacles, let us reiterate the two key elements that make prayasam unique: its replicable and strong foundation, a broad vision, encompassing an inclusive geographical approach, a complete coverage, coupled with close links and co-operation with the government, certainly distinguishes it from other non-governmental organisations.

We believe that basic education is the birth right of every human being. However, due to financial reasons, there is a significant proportion of dropouts in India among the students coming from lower income groups after the school leaving examination.
It is unnatural to expect a child to continue his/her education when the family has no means to support his/her books or school fees. Between hunger and education, isn’t the choice quite obvious? It is here that rakshabandhan for education steps in.

Matter of Indian Rupee and the common man of India

noreply@blogger.com (gm) — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 08:25:00 +0000

Matter of Indian Rupee and the common man of India http://homefina.wordpress.com/2006/08/31/matter-of-indian-rupee-and-the-common-man-of-india/ Matter of Indian Rupee and the common man of India August 31, 2006 - republished Indian Rupeee is going up or going down a few notches - brisk trades do take place in foreign exchange market as also in the Stock markets spread across major cities of Indiia. Script prices of some Fortune-500 companies sucks up lifeline air or release gas to be comfortable. That is everyday story. It doesn’t interest the common man who does not have any financial stake. The jump in Oil priices and its reflection in share market is also of no importance to the common man as they don’t put money in the shares of oil companies of India. News of Oil Exploring companies find of new gas field is also of no news to this common man as he is not a stake holder. These matters never excite them though it tickles the news media and the the business players and their allies.Why this happen. Lets crunch the stat. The simple fact that out of a billion odd population, the super rich and the rich constitue two percent of the population. Then the upper and the middle class with suffiicient purchasing power may constitute not more than another ten percent. So, the remaining eighty-eight pecent of India’s population constitue the majority comprising the people leaving below poverty line ( as per Indian Standard ), the poor who are slightly better off and the lower middle class mass who survives but have not enough purchasing power.If we measure “poor” by the American standard - an individual’s earning not more than $10000 in an year or for a family as a whole not exceeding $20000, then most of the people categorised under lower middle class shall slip below the poverty liine. Anyway, Indian economy and US economy are different. Cost of living is also not similar. Let’s say, a man can survive a month in India with INR 3000 per month or INR 36000 per annum equivalent to US $782!! It is possible. And so in India these families are not treated as poor – they are lower middle class. If we go by percentage – the gigantic nature of the problem may not be understood unless we quantify the figure in numbers. If we say eight eight crore people living in India in towns, villagees, cities who are either poor or not well off, the alarm will start ringing in your head. But that is the harse truth. Now the question is how to run the economy of 100 crors people catering to the interest of only 12% of the population who have financial and muscle power anmd who rules India. There lies the irony. In USA one in every tenth is a poor and one in every fouth black is poor too. But by defining poverty as per the convenience of the ruler, what is flashed across the globe by Indian media is a very rosy picture of India. Only the other day, a Mumbai turist guide was booked by the local government for encouraging Slum tourism to a few foreigners in exchange for a few hundred bucks.. But how far one can hide the true identity of a nation – the real INDIA, that’s what we wonder. Further, a democracy is meant to be a rule of the majority. But while the true illiterates amongst the 88% section is alarmingly high , leading to a picarious situation where common man is bribed and forced to sell his Vote for a canditate.

CAn it reflect the aspirations of that 88% of the population. But who is listening!!
