Thank you Bosco for advising me that I should send my email to goanet@goanet.organd I have done just that in the hope I won't be clobbered by any one of the Goanet moderators, who sometimes appear a trifle un-moderated or "heavy handed "in their fellow Goan ways, especially if someone like me who is not a subscriber to Goanet strays into Goanet internet territory. Nowadays, unlike the old Goan ways of respect for a fellow Gaons and days when Goanet first started 18 years ago, things have moved away from those partial ways, especially if one is not of /on the same wave-length of Goanet and it's moderators of today. That is as much as one can say for our Amchea Goa's Goenkarponn, which we have been bleating about on the airwaves/ www.net ever since the dawn of 19Dec, 1961 when Goa and it's Proud to be a Goan and it's respectful people were finally annexed into the Union of India, thus making us virtually STATUSless in our own land of our forefathers birth. Today, it is every man or woman or child for him or herself so much so, every other Tomazski, Dickum, or Harrilal-jeebaiya has a stake in Goa, bar our Goan Sons and Daughters of the Soil who have to fight for the Crumbs and Spoils of the aftermath of the Freedom Fighters driven into a frenzy Higher Command annexation ! Today, here I am, a small enough cog in the Goan Diaspora pigeon hole "seeking " for some crumb of an email to be put on Goanet and what a "fight" it has been, so can you blame others for taking our once Peaceful Goa, not by PieceMeal but WholeSale or Whole chunks of Konachem Goa by the TON as in Mining if one has the feeling that one is so hard done by our fellow Goan on the www ?

[Goanet] Kerala's Gulf connection may end in next 4-5 years, survey says
Kerala's Gulf connection may end in next 4-5 years, survey says Subodh Varma, TNN | Oct 13, 2012 NEW DELHI: The sweet-and-sour story of Kerala's Gulf connection may be about to end in the next four to five years. Although Keralites continue going to Gulf in search of employment, there is a decreasing trend over the years. Emigration to the Gulf region from Kerala stood at 2.28 million in 2011, up from 2.19 million in 2008, 1.84 million in 2003 and 1.36 million in 1998. Between 2008 and 2011, emigration grew at just 1.4 percent per year compared to 4.8 percent during 2003 and 2008 and over 7 percent during 1998 and 2003. In seven out of 14 districts in the state, the number of emigrants has declined compared to 2008. The increase could vanish much before 2015 and the migration trend could very well slope downward, say K C Zachariah and S Irudaya Rajan of the Centre for Development Studies (CDS), Thiruvananthapuram. They have been carrying out the Kerala Migration Survey for the Kerala government since 1998. The latest survey was done in 2011 and a working paper based on that data released recently. The survey also reports that there were an estimated 1.1 million "Gulf Wives" in the state, that is, women whose husbands are abroad, mostly in the Gulf region. Surprisingly, this number has hovered around the 1 million mark for the past 14 years even though the number of emigrants has gone up. In 2008 the number of "gulf Wives" was 1.06 million. The survey busts a handful of myths about "Gulf money", that is, remittances sent home by emigrant Keralites. Only 17.1 percent of households in Kerala received any remittances from abroad contrary to the popular impression that many more were benefiting from a steady stream of mone flowing in from the Gulf. However, the proportion of households receiving remittances varied from just 11.4 percent among Hindus, to 14.4 percent among Christians and as high as 36.6 percent among Muslim households. Emigrants sent home Rs.49,695 crore in 2011, that is, about Rs 63,315 per household. The enormity of this contribution is evident from the fact that this about 31 percent of the states's domestic product. Muslim households, due to their larger share in emigrant households, got nearly 47 percent of the total remittances, while Hindus got 36.4 percent and Christians 17 percent. But why is this dream petering out? The study points to a host of factors that is discouraging fresh emigrants. The young working age population in Kerala is contracting because of low birth rates for the past many years. Another prohibitive factor appears to be the rapidly increasing cost of emigration, the report says. Surprisingly, the wage differentials between Kerala and the Gulf region is also coming down. A recent survey of unskilled workers in the United Arab Emirates indicated an average monthly wage of Rs.11,869. Unskilled workers could earn more or less the same amount of money in Kerala, according to the survey analysis by CDS. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Keralas-Gulf-connection-may-end-in-next-4-5-years-survey-says/articleshow/16796083.cms Goanet News Service goa...@goanet.org

[Goanet] DLF did Rs 446 crore deals with Robert Vadra in 50:50 hotel venture
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/real/estate/news/DLF-did-Rs-446- crore-deals-with-Robert-Vadra-in-5050-hotel-venture/articleshow/16789963.cms NEW DELHI: DLF Ltd, India's largest real estate company, has carried out three transactions worth Rs 446 crore with its hotel joint venture since giving Robert Vadra a 50% stake in it for Rs 35 crore in October 2009, an ET investigation has uncovered. These dealings, many experts say, raise further questions about the depth of the business relationship between DLF, a listed company, and entities owned by the son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi. These transactions find no mention in the documents released in the past week by activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal on the business dealings between DLF and Vadra, which have ignited a political and media firestorm. According to DLF annual reports, the first of these three transactions took place in 2009-10, when it sold assets for Rs 150 crore to the 50:50 hotel JV, Saket Courtyard Hospitality. The hotel JV is yet to pay DLF for this transaction. In an emailed response, DLF says this transaction related to the transfer of ownership rights of the Hilton Garden Inn in Delhi, the JV's sole hotel property. "The valuation was done by independent chartered engineers and government-approved valuers," it says. Next, in 2011-12, DLF sold development rights - essentially, the rights, with regulatory clearances, to build on a plot of land - for Rs 161 crore to Prowess Buildcon Pvt Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of the hotel JV. DLF says this related to the development of an "affordable housing project" spread over 44 acres in Haryana. The project, DLF says, was cancelled because it was financially unviable due to escalating cost of construction and lack of government incentives. As a result of these problems, DLF decided to covert this venture into plotted or group housing projects. "These projects are underway and would take another three to four years to complete," the company statement says.

[Goanet] Different strokes for different folks...
Sent to you by Gerry via Google Reader: Different strokes for different folks... via The Flesh Made Word by Gerard de Souza on 10/10/12 MoI agitation cases withdrawn, anti-mining activists’ stay GERARD DE SOUZA ger...@herald-goa.com PANJIM: On June 6, 2011, a galaxy of BJP workers led by the then Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar and other Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch leaders like Shashikala Kakodkar, hoodwinked police and blocked traffic at the busy O'Coqueiro Circle instead of at the originally scheduled Sai Service Junction where the police bandobast was in place. For more than three hours of the road blockade, the capital city came to a standstill, as harassed residents got frantic in what is now regarded as Goa's biggest ever traffic jam. The issue: The then Congress government had decided to allow primary school children to study in English, if they wanted to. Cases were registered against the Medium of Instruction protesters. On April 23, 2011, after peacefully protesting against illegal transportation of ore through their village for two days but seeing no action, tribal residents of Caurem- Pirla decided to block all mining traffic in protest, while allowing all other vehicles to pass. Police resorted to a brutal lathicharge on the demonstrators. Many were seriously injured including one senior citizen, and four women were physically assaulted. The issue: The then Congress government had paid no heed to their protests and they wanted to save their farmlands and water sources that had been devastated by illegal mining. About 95 people were detained at Quepem Police Station. Cases were registered against the antimining protesters. By May 15, 2012, when Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was just into his third month in power, a meeting was held in his office attended by Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni, Law Secretary Pramod Kamat and Director of Prosecution Shobha Dhumaskar. The agenda for the meeting was a discussion on various criminal cases pending against politicians in various courts. The same day, a note was moved and the AG in his noting stated that a circular may be issued through the Director of Prosecution that the policy of the government is not to pursue criminal cases, provided they are not of a serious nature, against politicians involved in agitations. On receipt of the circular, the Public Prosecutors and Assistant Public Prosecutors moved swiftly and withdrew criminal cases pending in various courts against Ministers and MLAs ( including the current Speaker of the Goa Assembly). The justification given by Parrikar, then, was: “ I am of the opinion that cases which have been booked to harass somebody and are purely political in nature should be withdrawn… these agitations are on social, political or institutional issues… police have various other serious cases to investigate.” That sealed the fate of the cases against BJP leaders for their rasta roko on the MoI issue. And what of the cases against the protesters from Caurem- Pirla? Six months into power, and the Parrikar regime appears to have forgotten all about them ~ why has this principle applied in the MoI agitation not been extended to the villagers of Caurem? “Cases against 30- 40 people of this village are still on and we have to attend every hearing. Government advocates are defending the mine owners ( since these are cases filed by the State), but we have to shell out from our pockets to defend ourselves,” Salvador Dias, one of the protesters who was booked, told Herald. The government continues to prosecute these protestors at public cost. Commenting on the irony, anti- mining activist Abhijeet Prabhudessai said this was a reflection of the priorities of the government. “ If you ask activists like me, we're not bothered about the cases we have against us. We don't mind going to prison. But the villagers need justice. It’s obvious government is dragging its feet. The cases should be dropped. But our main priority is to get the Rs 35,000 crore looted in the mining scam back and to ensure those who perpetuated this criminality are prosecuted.” Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to The Flesh Made Word using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites
