			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">When the name Hospital appears, we generally think it is all related to patient and patient health which is obvious to come every one’s mind.<br />
But when I think how hospitals would be in future, then I see some possibility of improvement in existing system, which could be:-<br />
•	Harness the power of innovation and technology to enhance access.<br />
•	Reduction of cost.<br />
•	Improve health outcome and Patient care.<br />
These are going to be the basic requirements in the hospital of tomorrow. But there is a big question that what are the initiative procedures a hospital should take to achieve these relevant improvements?<br />
Giving the priority to collaboration and consumer engagement:<br />
Collaboration plays a vital role in growth of any organization. Now a day, hospitals are taking initiative in:<br />
•	Entering in the field of insurance companies<br />
•	Making partners with pharmacy chains<br />
•	Community based prevention programs are instituted<br />
•	And Experimenting with Bundled Payments.<br />
To drive this shift there is three important factors works:<br />
1.	Disruption in the Health Market (Budget Pressure, New Payment Models etc).<br />
2.	The Emergence of an Engaged Consumers.<br />
3.	Technology Innovation in the Area of Mobility, Cloud, Social and Data.</p>
<p align="justify">These factors are responsible to introduce new business models that are in way of designing or somewhat may be designed to provide more cost effective care through collaboration and care coordination and also include patient engagement and communities, drug manufacturers, community health providers, hospitals to achieve their desired need.</p>
<p align="justify">For instance, before this year 2013, New York Presbyterian Hospital set in to enhance in-patient experience and engagement by providing a windows8 tablet at the patient’s bed side.The windows8 tablet, which comes with the custom build windows8 apps, allow the hospital’s patients to seamlessly communicate with his care team to access his health information on the facility’s health portal.</p>
<p align="justify">Nerving Mobility and Aesculapius Productivity:<br />
Health workers require mobile environment to transit between caring patients and providing facilities and that can be achieved only by mobility. And productivity they are experiencing should be same regardless of the technology and device they are using. Technology should be so innovative that health system can improve Aesculapius productivity, patient safety and team performance.</p>
<p align="justify">Leveraging the Cloud:<br />
Hospital systems are started using cloud technology so that connection among disparate points of care<br />
and low cost of infrastructure can be achieved. Both are especially vital in an era of merger and acquisition.<br />
I have no doubt, as we move forward; the swatch shift will keep innovative evolvement on.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">In recent years Micromax emerged as a big name in our market, as a matter of fact it is the largest mobile phone company of India. But if we go to its past, we come to know that it’s birth took place as a software company working on embedded platform and this is the reason for their website still named as  micromaxinfo.com , which started in the year 2000 by group of four friends. Micromax entered mobile phone market in the year 2008 capable of only 0.59% of market share till the end of the year and which rose to 6.24% till the end of 2010.</p>
<p align="justify">Affordable: Before entry of Micromax into the mobile phone market, the cheap market was dominated by Chinese phones having drawbacks like IMEI number missing in handsets, low build quality, stagnant performance and high radiation levels, and on the other hand branded handsets were priced high which were difficult to grasp in the hands of majority of masses. But with the advent of Micromax in market, there arose some form of standardization in this market and that too handsets come with warranty and guarantee.</p>
<p>Transformation: Micromax centered on low cost handsets which also brought some new Ideas among phones which we didn’t saw earlier or were rare. Some of the examples of Innovative features are: -<br />
•	Universal remote control phone which were compatible with AC, TV and DVD players remote.<br />
•	Bling which was a women centric phone.<br />
•	Van Gogh X450 having detachable Bluetooth device.<br />
•	Gesture control phone.<br />
•	ModuT was the lightest touch screen phone which holds records in the world for the same.<br />
•	Micromax Canvas Turbo having object erase app for camera, which is first in Indian market.</p>
<p>Bold Decision: Decisions taken by Micromax can be considered as aggressive and quick, as it appears from<br />
their strategic method they adopted. One of the best examples would be of Canvas A116 HD which saw<br />
straight fight with Samsung Galaxy Grand thus, competing with Samsung.</p>
<p>Service : In today’s market scenario , Micromax  do took quite a good figure in market share and offers great line of handsets and products but still some areas of it had to see their attention i.e., Customer Service . It still lacks with giant players like Samsung and Nokia. Satisfaction of customers service is yet to be achieved and it requires utmost focus but same is true also that nothing can be achieved in one day, it still a new player in market which gradually will develop its activities and enhance Customer Service.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill, 2011 (LARR) is set to become a law. But does this really speed up industrialization.</p>
<p>LARR as a law will actually proved to be a hindrance in the industrialization process. It is just a populist measure of the political class to get votes by wooing the poor farmers and landowners. It will ultimately cut the job prospects in industrial sector and will not improve the quality of living of the Indian poor, which actually is its primary objective. LARR Bill is used as a tool by the political class to gain political advantage in coming Loksabha elections 2014.</p>
<p>Procedures &#038; provisions for future land acquisition by Indian government for infrastructure projects or for its own need through PPP route has been made very complicated.<br />
These procedures include:<br />
•	Social impact analysis of acquisition.<br />
•	Identify &#038; compensate those who will be affected<br />
•	Capital gain will be shared over the next 10 years with the original owner.<br />
•	Under Rehabilitation &#038; Resettlement provision, the purchasing party should provide 25 infrastructure services.<br />
•	Land acquisition will be prohibited beyond 5% in districts having multi-crop agriculture and beyond 10% in those single-crop agriculture districts.<br />
•	The acquisition can be completed only after having approval of 80% landowners.</p>
<p>The ostensible complex procedure being formed to safeguard farmer’s interest will actually end up harming their interests, because complex rules and regulations will bring a standstill in PPP projects which will result in decline of land prices that will make the landowner in loss &#038; make them trapped in their less productive operations. It will also lead to huge amount of red tapes, litigation instead of making it simple and clear.<br />
And the panoply of LARR’s R&#038;R provisions are being applied on private purchase of land i.e. if the size of land to be purchased is 50 acres in urban region &#038; 100 acres in rural region than an application should be filed to the district collector and who will further refer the case to the Commissioner for proper satisfaction under the Act of rehabilitation &#038; resettlement. And in addition the huge increase in land price due to LARR’s pricing proposal, it will make projects more unviable.</p>
<p>Some of LAAR proposals:<br />
•	Rural land acquisition cost will be 4 times the market rate and for urban 2 times the market rate.<br />
•	Land owner compensation will have:</p>
<p>o	A onetime allowance  of Rs 36000<br />
o	A family member will be employed or Rs 500000 up-front or Rs 24000 per year adjusted for inflation. The choice is up to landowner between the two.<br />
o	Rs 50000 for resettlement.<br />
o	Rs 50000 for transportation.</p>
<p>The cost of R&#038;R provision plus the costs of bearing 25 infrastructure services have to be added to land price which will ultimately  increase the land price by one crore per acre. Price of rural land will be increased 5 times with the coming of LARR. The LARR will ultimately make land more expensive to purchase &#038; make a mess with the complex procedure &#038; red –tapism.</p>
<p>And these features in LARR will resultantly make Indian industrialization degrade in coming years. Ultimately what the poor farmer will get, no proper housing, low productivity agriculture operation. And this will further decrease the rate of manufacturing and it will abandon the new manufacturing policy which objective is to increase the manufacturing sector’s share of GDP to 18%. The opposition parties could have opposed this bill or should oppose in future parliamentary sessions before it deteriorates the whole industrialization process.</p>
