New NMMC Commissioner

for Navi MumbaiA B Misal is the new commissioner of Navi Mumbai Municipal

Corporation. He comes in the place of former NMMC commis-sioner Dr Ramaswamy N.

Dr Ramaswamy N has left behind an example to follow for thefuture NMMC commissioners. He did his job perfectly, promptlyand without hurting the sentiments of those who were workingunder him. In other words he was a thorough diplomat. And that iswhat the IAS officers are expected to be.

What is IAS? It is Indian Administrative Service which meansit is all about administration. These IAS officers have a lot of knowl-edge about administration which even the politicians under whomthey have to work don’t have. The politicians have to depend heavi-ly on these IAS officers even when it comes to applying the basicsof administration.

In a democratic system we have the political leaders on oneside and secretariat on the other. Those in secretariat are totallyinformed about what administration is. In fact, they know A-Z aboutadministration. The political leaders are just persons who are sup-posed to be administrators by virtue of their being popular owingto which the public voted them to power and made them sit inParliament or Legislative Assembly or Municipal Council or Mu-nicipal Corporation and asked them to look after the nation.

But who are the actual people who are conversant about how anation should be looked after? The answer is IAS Officers in theSecretariat! They do all the ground works and these elected pub-lic representatives take all the credits.

There should be a clause in our Book on Constitution wherethe elected people’s representatives should undergo a course inAdministration matters so that they don’t have to rely so veryheavily upon the Secretariat. After all, people expect these publicrepresentatives to do the administrative works. Most of the peo-ple are unaware of the fact that the Secretariat does a bulk of theadministration works.

Coming back to Navi Mumbai. Tukaram Mundhe was theNMMC Commissioner who was succeeded by Dr Ramaswamy N.Now Mundhe was the man who made his own decisions and poli-cies and wouldn’t pay heed to the opinions of the public represen-tatives. Yes, we sometimes find such IAS officers who do their jobin a way they think is right. But such IAS officers are rarely likedby the public representatives who will go to any extent to get himreplaced by a ‘Yes, Minister!’ type of IAS officers. We had Shes-han as Election Commissioner who did what he thought was right.This man was loved by the public but hated by most public repre-sentatives.

So now we will have to wait and see as to which category thenew NMMC Commissioner belongs to. Will he go about with hisown decisions and policies or will he go by the dictates of the pub-lic representatives? In other words, he has to choose betweenfunctioning like Tukaram Mundhe or like Dr. Ramaswamy N. Butremember one thing: a person like Tukaram Mundhe is rarelyfound.

In its 51st year of Bank Nationalisation, the banking system is at crossroads

By C K Subramaniam,

Ex-Bank Manager

After independencethe Government of In-dia (GOI) adoptedplanned economic de-velopment for thecountry (India). Ac-cordingly, five yearplans came into exist-ence since 1951. Thiseconomic planning ba-sically aimed at socialownership of themeans of production.However, commercialbanks were in the pri-vate sector those days.In 1950-51 there were430 commercial banks.The Government ofIndia had some socialobjectives of planning.These commercialbanks failed helpingthe government in at-taining these objec-tives. All commercialbanks with a depositbase over Rs.50 croreswere nationalized. Itwas considered thatbanks were controlledby business housesand thus failed in ca-tering to the creditneeds of poor sectionssuch as cottage indus-try, village industry,farmers, craft men,etc.

In 1969 the Indiangovernment nationa-lised major privatebanks, one of the bigbank was Bank of In-dia. These nationalisedbanks are the majori-ty of lenders in the In-dian economy. The In-dian banking sector isbroadly classified intoscheduled and non-scheduled banks.Hence, the govern-ment decided to na-tionalize 14 major com-mercial banks. A sec-ond wave of nationali-sation in bankingcame into effect inApril 1980. Currentlythere are following 19nationalised banks inIndia as per the RBIwebsite. As the countryenters the 51st year ofBank Nationalisationon 19th July 2019,banks themselveshave little to celebrateabout. The currentgeneration of bankersworking more on sys-

tems than on knowl-edge hardly seem torealise the roughpatch Indian bankingis going through inpresent day banking.

The nationalizationof banks was a signifi-cant move undertakenby the government forthe development of thecountry. Firstly, it in-stilled public confi-dence in the bankingsystem encouragingthe masses to save andinvest. It allowed forthe elimination of re-gional bias and pro-moted opening up ofbranches in the remoteareas of the country aswell, thus strengthen-ing the banking net-work. By elimination ofmonopoly or creditcompetition, national-ization streamlinedbanking practises inthe country, therebydirecting funds whereit was most necessary– towards industrialand sectoral develop-ment – as planned bythe RBI and the Indi-an government.

In 2008 the Re-serve Bank of India in-troduced a system toallow cheque trunca-tion and the conver-sion of checks fromphysical form to elec-tronic form when send-ing to the paying bankin India and thecheque truncation sys-tem as it was knownwas first rolled out inthe National CapitalRegion and then rolledout nationally. Physi-cal as well as virtualexpansion of bankingthrough mobile bank-ing, internet banking,tele banking, bio-met-ric and mobile ATMsetc. is taking placesince last decade andhas gained momentumin last few years.

In four decades nor-mal banking transac-tions picked momen-tum. Bankers lackedthe know how inchanging time, where-as customers pickedthe loopholes to makehey when the sunshines. The fifth de-cade saw the progres-

sive downfall of thebanking system. CDR,and the RBI’s AssetQuality Review, dubi-

ous lending to the cor-porate entities, poorsurveillance, uncon-

cerned boards, andpoor governance led tothe ¹ 10-trillion badloans mess. This de-

cade also the likes ofVijay Mallya, NiravModi and Mehul Chok-

si taking the bankingsystem for a ride andthereby exposing thegaps in regulation.Banks today are alsoincreasingly facingtrust issues with theircustomers. Today,banks do more non-banking business withhefty commissions.Though the nationali-sation of commercialbanks was undertakenwith tall objectives, inmany senses it failedin attaining them. Infact it converted manyof the banking institu-tions in the loss mak-ing entities. The rea-sons were obvious le-thargic working, lackof accountability, lackof profit motive, politi-cal interference, etc.Under this backdrop itis necessary to have acritical look to thewhole process of na-tionalisation in the pe-riod after bank nation-alisation.

The bank recapital-isation of Rs 70,000crore is aimed at bol-stering the capital baseof the state-ownedbanks and making surethat the commercial orindustrial enterprisesdo not suffer. Measuressuch as Rs 70000 corescapitalisation for publicsector banks, allowingNBFCs to raise foreign

debt, doing away withDebenture RedemptionReserve requirementfor public issue of deben-tures and partial guar-antee from governmentfor purchase of NBFCbonds, could help inimproving the liquiditysituation in the econo-my. The bank recapital-isation of Rs 70,000crore is aimed at bol-stering the capital baseof the state-ownedbanks and making surethat the commercial orindustrial enterprisesdo not suffer. Earlier in2018-19, Finance Min-ister had given a shotof Rs 1.06 lakh crore asrecap bonds.

The full implica-tions of the three-waymerger between Bankof Baroda, VijayaBank and Dena Bankare yet to emerge. It isfeared the picturewon’t be pretty. Indeed,there are no easy solu-tions for the mess PSBsare in. As far as returnon assets or even re-turn on equity is con-cerned, banks wereunlikely to show im-provement in FY20.Let us hope that theimpact of nationalisa-tion will come into ef-fect in the 51st year atleast. Hope is the lastword for the Banks tocome out of the rut.

WC fi-nal and result ultimate-ly reduced to a farce.How sad, depressed anddejected should NZ beto be ultimately de-clared losers just onsome whimsical rule.NZ should protest thisbefore ICC and seek thehelp of powerful BCCIwho should also supportNZ and ensure thatboth NZ and Englandare declared joint win-ners and hold the cupfor 2 years each. That

will meet ends of natu-ral justice. If not NZare moral victors andEngland the virtual los-ers! New Zealand havereally won our heartswith their brilliant andclean and courageousdisplay under a greatCaptain Kane William-son.

Yes, ‘more bound-aries’ does seem an oddway in which to decidea World Cup winner,but then, objections, ifany, to the playing con-ditions, ought to havebeen raised before andnot after the tourna-ment. Both teamsplayed extraordinarycricket and neither de-

served to lose. Englandwere fortunate withthat ricochet, but itwasn’t Stokes’ fault. Ofcourse it was a strokeof luck. It was one ofthose oddities whichmake cricket such anunpredictable game. Hewould not have at-tempted to run had theball not crossed theboundary. That wasvery clear. Congratula-tions to Morgan and histeam and commisera-tions to the Black Caps.Kane Williamson hasbeen a great ambassa-dor for his country. Histime will come. Surelya befitting receptioncould be arranged inKiwi land for this highclass cricketer. Will-iamson was dignity per-sonified even at thehour of loss. I wonderwhether we will haveanother cricketer likethe Kiwi captain, whocarried himself withgreat dignity and deco-rum and proved thegreat gentleman thathe is, in his greatesthour of disappointmentand frustration.

Don’t worry Will-iamson you lost a gameof wits in a befittingway. Even if posterityforgets your cricketingperformance, I amsure, no one will forgetgentle manliness andyour ability to carryyourself in a mannerwhich has brought glo-ry to New Zealandcricket. Kudos to Kiwisfor the pulsating game.

FEVER IN CHILDRENAbout fever in childrenA fever is a high temperature. As a general

rule, in children a temperature of over 37.5C(99.5F) is a fever.

As a parent it can be extremely worrying ifyour child has a high temperature. However,it’s very common and often clears up by itselfwithout treatment.

A quick and easy way to find out whetheryour child has a fever is to take theirtemperature using a thermometer.

What causes a high temperature?Most fevers are caused by infections or

other illnesses. The high body temperaturemakes it more difficult for the bacteria andviruses that cause infections to survive.

Common conditions that can causefevers include:

upper respiratory tract infections (RTIs)fluear infectionsroseola – a virus that causes a temperature

and a rashtonsillitiskidney or urinary tract infections (UTIs)common childhood illnesses, such as

chickenpox and whooping coughYour child’s temperature can also be raised

after vaccinations, or if they overheat becauseof too much bedding or clothing.

When to seek urgent medical adviceContact your GP or health visitor urgently

if your child:is under three months old and has a

temperature of 38C (101F) or aboveis between three and six months old and

has a temperature of 39C (102F) or aboveYou should also see your GP if your child

has other signs of being unwell, such aspersistent vomiting, refusal to feed, floppinessor drowsiness.

If it isn’t possible to contact your GP, callyour local out-of-hours service or phone NHS24’s 111 service.

If your child seems to be otherwise well –for example, if they’re playing and attentive –it’s less likely they’re seriously ill.

Fever in babies self-help guideComplete this guide to assess fever

symptoms in children and babies under 2 yearsof age. Find out if you should visit A&E, yourGP, pharmacist or treat their condition at home.

Self-help guide: Fever in babiesTreating a feverIf your child has a fever, it’s important to

keep them hydrated by giving them plenty ofcool water to drink.

Babies should be given plenty of liquids,such as breast milk or formula. Even if yourchild isn’t thirsty, try to get them to drink little

and often to keep their fluid levels up.If the environment is warm, you could help

to your child to stay at a comfortabletemperature by covering them with alightweight sheet or opening a window.

However, they should still be appropriatelydressed for their surroundings and spongingyour child with cool water isn’t recommendedto reduce a fever.

AntipyreticsChildren’s paracetamol or ibuprofen work

as antipyretics, which help to reduce fever, aswell as being painkillers. You can’t give themboth at the same time, but if one doesn’t work,you may want to try the other later.

Antipyretics aren’t always necessary. Ifyour child isn’t distressed by the fever orunderlying illness, there’s no need to useantipyretics to reduce a fever.

When using antipyretics, always read thepatient information leaflet that comes with themedication to find the correct dose andfrequency for your child’s age.

More serious illnessesSometimes a high temperature in children is

associated with more serious signs andsymptoms, such as:

breathlessnessvomitingrashfits or seizuresPossible serious bacterial illnesses include:meningitis – infection of the meninges, the

protective membranes that surround the brainand spinal cord

septicaemia – infection of the bloodpneumonia – inflammation of the lung

tissue, usually caused by an infectionIt’s important to remember that potentially

serious causes of fever are relatively rare.

Bihar flood situation patheticFlood situation is going from bad to worse

and as the position pose netas to blink and bickerin the pathetic position. In the event of difficultposition, people are forced to eat rats as theshortage of food in flood affected place has be-come very dear. As in the past, blame gamecontinue and no one is coming forward to ad-dress a flood hit problem. Living in an objectpoverty, the ostracised community has receivedno welfare aid from successive governments.Eating rats is not new to Bihar and the posi-tion is pathetic as the main meal is rats withfloods spoiling the situation and it goes out ofcontrol. The tell-tail position is giving the clearcut indication about the lack of rehabilitationin the rain ravaged state.

Calling shots in aconsolation cause

A team that had won in 7 matches andtopped the table obviously has to have strengthsand hence a definite threat. New Zealand hadnot taken India lightly at the start of the match.Every winning team has its weaknesses as well.It is to the credit of New Zealand team for iden-tifying and hitting India at the point of weak-ness. The rest that happened is just writing onthe wall. India needs to learn the art of sus-taining victory streak till end. Sudden fall incrucial moments makes the team look fragiletoo even though it may be a formidable force.The killer instinct was totally missing.

India lacks another pacey fast bowler in theBumrah mould. With at least three fast bowlers,India could have bundled out NZ for fewer runs.The fact that the top three failed in the battingwas the biggest blow. India has to be mentallystronger and respond with calm when put un-der such pres-sure cooker situ-ations. Wish In-dia all the best inthe future.

It’s really un-fortunate thatthis Indian side,which has theworld’s best batsman, best bowler and best fin-isher lost in the Semis. Some efforts failed, somefell short. But for me, the professionalism wasmissing from this Indian team. A better plan-ning would have brought them luck and helpedto win the World Cup. In fact they won somebig games with ease and calmness was shownin the league games. All teams, in CWC 19,have had their bad days and lost matches hereand there, including India and Australia, thelosers in semi-final matches. Every loss willhave reasons. So does India’s. We played likeChampions to finish at the top of the table andone bad half hour of play saw them going down.Team India today is considered among the bestin world of cricket but semi final exit saw themcrumbling.

All said and done the top three which in-cludes the world’s best batsman did not deliverwhen it was most needed. In spite of amassingscores in less important league format but failedto perform when needed. I still consider themlosers against top class swing bowling. Theywill continue to mint money through a lot ofcommercial ventures and they are paid too high

comparing to other games in India. Indian Crick-et Team snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.Perhaps our team felt that they could easily de-feat New Zealand and therefore did not plan wellafter day one. On the other hand it is clear thatour opponents did their home work well to dethronea World class team.

It is hard to believe that team India lost thesemi final match against New Zealand. Our teammanagement and selection panel know that ourteam’s middle order was very weak especially atno 4 but we couldn’t solve this problem. It is thebiggest failure of our selection panel and teammanagement. There is no meaning to be favou-rite in a major tournament unless we win majortournaments. We lost Asia cup, Champions Tro-phy and now World cup semi.

What hurt us was our overconfidence and lackof experience in middle order. Both Pant and Har-dik’s threw their wickets. Why players like Rah-ane, Pujara and Raydu were not considered formiddle order is unclear. Potential weakness of ateam was revealed in the semi-final loss. In all wefailed to play as a team and thus paid heavy pricein the end. Why Ashwin was omitted as thoughother spinners were doing extremely well to dropa potential weapon in our armoury. Dhoni shouldquit the game when people ask why? His slowapproach in the initial stages of the game broughtmisery to the side in the end with asking rategoing beyond our tail end batting capacity.

Golden opportunity was lost due to inept han-dling by selectors and team management. It wasan unbalanced squad of 15 with 3 seamers, 3 spin-ners, 2 wicket keepers initially becoming 3 later,2 all rounders becoming 1 later and just 5 bats-men with no provision for any injury. An all round-er had to be played with injury in a batsman slotin at most critical way at number 4. Kedar Jadhavplayed as a guest batsman in the side. Most of thesides played with one spinner where as our teammanagement preferred to have 2 despite limitedsuccess in the tournament. Thus the team failedtotally and the inherent weakness in batting cameto view, the bowlers failed to penetrate and thecaptaincy was lacking. We need to overhaul theteam with tested players under a new captain.

Ground realities for goingdown and out

Indian cricket team faced the real test whenthey reached semi final stage of the World Cup.Till that stage, the team led by Virat Kohli wassailing smoothly and even allowed English side toprevail over us for a place to grab and the thirdspot in the points table. We thought that the NewZealand side is an easy prey for us and so we foughthard to win the last league match and climbed tothe top spot. But that was not to be. The Kiwi sidewas having other ideas and as a result we wereforced to lose in the final stages of semi final with-out a fight in hand. There are claims and counterclaims about the role of each batsman from theIndian team. As a matter of fact the whole teamwas responsible for the loss and that included bitsand pieces players. As long as the selectors, con-tinue to pack the team with flat track bullies,neglecting technique, India can never be a forceto reckon with.

At the start of the World Cup we were dream-

ing of 3 D dimension from each and every play-er but in the end we were just cursing our luckas we failed to perform at the highest level. Oncewe lose, there will be blame game and the Pan-dora’s Box will be open and a can of worms comeout to do something that will uncover more prob-lems and make things more complicated in acountry where the game of cricket is consideredas a religion. After all, our fans need to win allthe matches and the stardom of our cricketershas taken the country by storm. The malaiseunderlying India’s loss against underdogs NewZealand runs deeper than is presumed.

The World Cup semi-final between India andNew Zealand set a new world record of highestever concurrent views on Hotstar with a peakof 25.3 million, according to TV and digital view-ing figures released by the ICC. The previousrecord was at 18.6 million. With more viewer-ship more criticism followed in the air and thesocial media strike different chords as Kohli’smen bowed out of the championship. With theteam and the management in the pillory oversome questionable decisions, which do not be-hove a side that has pretensions about being theworld’s best and the number one side in ODIs.The problem with Indian cricket is that we playODIs like test cricket and vice versa.

It is reliably learnt that there exist two pow-er centres in the squad as one group follow theguidelines of skipper Virat Kohli and the otherin the name of vice captain Rohit Sharma. Thisis highly possible as Rohit Sharma was the high-est scorer in the championship and his failurein one match tilted the tables. He must be feel-ing the heat as his epic five centuries were madeto look for a losing cause and the captain withlimited success dictating terms and that toowithout much effect. The semi-final clash openeda new chapter in the history of Indian cricket.The unconfirmed report also suggests that theKohli-Shastri axis is dominant and often takesunilateral decisions, riding roughshod over oth-ers. And that is one root cause for rift in theside. One such division was the selection of Vi-jay Shankar over Ambati Rayadu but there areso many likes and dislikes for the skipper thatspell the doom.

The foremost part of controversy and thethird point of contention could be Dhoni’s bat-ting position in the semi-final loss to the under-dogs New Zealand. The team management islikely to be asked as to why Dhoni was sent inat number seven, after team had been reducedto 5 for 3 in a chase of 240. Sanjay Bangar wassolely responsible for this. In all, there were se-lection blues with star pacer Shami left out fora crunch game and the so called leg spinner wasmost ineffective. We could have played bettercricket with an off spinner in command to bowlat left hander Nicholls from the beginning withthe new ball. Constant chipping and choppingof number 4 position did open a weak link in thecrucial position. The ground realities are com-ing in open one by one and the skipper is totallyexposed.

We will continue to be World no.1 for a con-siderable amount of time considering the cur-rent state of World of cricket. But can we trulybelieve we are World no.1 after our miserableshow against New Zealand when we really hadto prove worthy of being World champions is aquestion that should haunt our cricket team andhopefully act as a catalyst to propel our team toreach newer heights.
