बाइकों का शौक रखने वालों के लिए अच्छी खबर है। बजाज की सबसे ज्यादा बिकने वाली बाइक डिस्कवर है। हालही में बजाज ने लॉच की है बजाज डिस्कवर 150एफ जो की नई स्टाईलिश लुक में है। इस बाइक का माडल कुछ हद तक करिज्मा से प्रभावित लगता है। जो लोग बाइक खरीदना चाहते है उनके लिए यह एक अच्छा अवसर है। कम कीमत पर खूबसूरत बनावट और माइलेज के मामले में यह अन्य कई बाइकों से आगे है।

कंपनी ने इस बाइक में 145 सीसी के 4 वाल्व और डीटीएस-आई इंजन का प्रयोग किया है। कंपनी का दावा है कि बाइक 72 किलोमीटर प्रति लीटर की माइलेज देने में सक्षम है। इस बाइक में कई खूबियां हैं जो इसे और अधिक लोकप्रिय बना सकती है।इसके चौड़े ट¬ूबलेस टायर्स और नाइट्रॉक्स सहित मोनोशॉक इसकी लोकप्रियता को बढ़ाने में सक्षम लगते हैं।

It's not about cricket only....

India is a country where different kinds of religions, different kinds of traditions and different kind of people exist. But one thing makes all different Indians on a same stage, and that is Cricket. In India cricket is not only a game, it’s a passion of every person. Hardly there will be any Indian who won’t like cricket. But these days this game is being used by our authorities as a tool to improve the disturbed relation with other countries, especially our all time rival Pakistan. Is there really a need of cricket series between India and Pakistan?

At least BCCI thinks so. There has been no series between these two countries since 2007. This strong glacier came in to existence after the 26/11 attacks in 2008 and now BCCI has decided to start a cricket series between these two countries in December 2012. But question is, is this the right time to try to melt this ice stone? This question is raised by the former Indian cricketer Suneel Gavasker. He said that Pakistan is not helping India in 26/11 case. So having a cricket series in this time is not good.

Having a cricket series with any country is normal event in India but when it comes to India vs. Pakistan, the craze goes too high. It’s every time more than just a game. But the issue of Kashmir or the issue of terrorism is more sensitive than cricket. These issues have to be given more attention instead of having a cricket series. Cricket diplomacy is good but is this as good as needed, to solve the tension between two countries?
   
Watching a cricket match in the same stadium by prime ministers of both the countries together is not enough to solve the issues. There must be a serious talk but the importance of this kind of serious talk is being faded by the untimely cricket series.

Instead of having a cricket match, the countries should try to solve the big issues and big tension between both the countries so that no need of cricket diplomacy would be there to improve the relation between the two countries.

इंटरनेट के झूले पर झूलती जिंदगी.....

इन दिनों इंटरनेट नाम की एक बीमारी ने मुझे खासा परेशान कर रखा है। दरअसल, आज के दौर मे, इस बीमारी का शिकार मै ही नही बल्कि लगभग पूरी दुनिया हो गयी है। ऐसा लगता है जैसे पूरा जीवन इंटरनेट का गुलाम बन गया है। इस बीमारी ने तो मेरे प्रशिक्षक को भी अपनी चपेट मे ले लिया। किसी भी शंका का उनके पास अब एक ही समाधान होता है, इंटरनेट।

वैसे बात भी बिल्कुल सही है, आज जिस हद तक इंटरनेट हमारे जीवन मे घुल चुका है उससे हमारी सोच का दायरा बिलकुल सीमित हो चुका है। हर सवाल का बस एक ही जवाब होता है  इंटरनेट। बस एक क्लिक करो और पूरा ब्योरा सामने आ जाता है। हमारा खाना, पीना, काम करना, यहाँ तक की हमारा जीना भी इंटरनेट पर निर्भर हो गया है। लेकिन तकनीक का ये विकास, हमारे व्यक्तिगत विकास मे बाधक बनता जा रहा है। वैसे तो इंटरनेट से हम पूरी दुनिया से जुड़े रहते है पर हमारी अपनी जिंदगी मे क्या हो रहा है, ये सोचने का हमे वख्त ही नही मिलता। कहने को तो हम पूरी दुनिया के संपर्क मे  रहते है पर हमारे पड़ोस मे कौन रहता है, ये हमे पता ही नहीं होता।

खैर, क़ुसूर हमारा नही है, कुसूर है तकनीक का, इंटरनेट का। लेकिन इसी तकनीक का एक और चेहरा भी है। इसी की बदौलत आज का सामाजिक विकास अपने मौजूदा मुकाम तक पहुंचा है। बात शिक्षा की हो या सुरक्षा की, समाज की हो या अपनी निजी जिंदगी की। तकनीक ने और इंटरनेट ने अपनी अहमियत का हमेशा एहसास कराया है और इसी एहसास के कारण मै इंटरनेट को कोसने या इस पर टिप्पणी करने मे झिझक रहा हूँ। काफी सोच-विचार के बाद, मै इस निष्कर्ष पर पहुंचा, कि जो भी हो, इंटरनेट के बिना जीना, आज के दौर मे पानी या हवा के बिना जीने से भी ज्यादा मुश्किल है क्योंकि इंटरनेट के फ़ायदों ने इसके नुकसान को अपने अंदर समाहित कर लिया है और हमारे जीवन का एक अभिन्न अंग बनने मे इसने काफी हद तक सफलता हासिल कर ली है।

How to achieve success in life before its too late

Swami Vivekananda had said that, “arise awake and don’t stop till the goal is achieved.” Success is the result of your hard work and efforts you have made to achieve your goal. If one is able to know ones strength, then success is not far from them. Inspiration and motivation are also essential for you as these will always help you to be positive.

Here are some tricks which can help you to reach your goals. 

Make your vision board which you want in you life and get on the work you are doing to achieve all those visions. Never try to play with little knowledge, as you all know that little knowledge is dangerous thing. So always try to get full information which you think is important for you. Time management is also important to achieve you desired goal. Make your timetable and follow it honestly. Success can't be obtained within a short  period of time. It will take Year and Months of your hard work. So set you goal and make it possible to achieve these goals.

First step which leads you towards your success is Knowledge about that subject or area which you think will be the basic ingredient for your journey towards success. Whatever you absorb just save it in your mind and clear the basic concept about any issue and event which is happening around you.

Second step is Action towards your goal. If you only dreams about your success and doesn't take any action it won’t help you. It is rightly said that first deserve than desire. You have to act towards your goals.

Third and last step is Result because a result represents your talent and efforts. If you have worked with full potential towards your goal, you will definitely get it.

Politics nothing more than family business in India

Election buzz is going all around us and everyone seems excited about it.  Newspapers and News channels are filed with the political stuff. So how can I stay away from it being a Journalist? Last time I published about the Once again the same tournament that we call “Elections”. This time I am going to express my views on politics which is nothing more than a family business in India. Being a largest democratic country India is under dynasty rule from its Independence.

Most prominently Nehru Gandhi family Jawaharlal Nehru (Freedom Fighter, First Indian PM, Prime Minister, 1947–1964) Indira Gandhi (Prime Minister, 1966–1977 and 1980–1984) (Daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru) Rajiv Gandhi (Prime Minister, 1984–1989) (Son of Indira Gandhi) Sonia Gandhi, (President of the Indian National Congress party), wife of Rajiv Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi. is one who is ruling the entire nation since its independence. This family has given three prime ministers for the country and these days Rahul Gandhi leads the Congress Party.

Samajwadi Party whose chief is Mulayam Singh Yadav (Mulayam Singh Yadav, National President of Samajwadi Party, Former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and Former Defence Minister of India.

Shivpal Singh Yadav, Cousin of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Present PWD Minister in Uttar Pradesh Government. Ram Gopal Yadav, Cousin of Mulayam Singh Yadav and MP Rajya Sabha.)

The RJD, whose chief is Lalu Yadav (Rabri Devi, Bihar chief minister wife of Lalu Yadav, Sadhu Yadav, Rabri Devi's brother Subhash Yadav, Rabri Devi's brother.)

The DMK, who’s chief is Karunanidhi, (M. Karunanidhi, Tamil Nadu Ex Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Tamil Nadu Ex Deputy Chief Minister (Son of Karunanidhi) M K Azhagiri, Union Minister (Eldest son of Karunandihi) Kanimozhi, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha (Daughter of Karunanidhi) Late Murasoli Maran, Former Union Minister (nephew of Karunanidhi) Dayanidhi Maran, Union Minister (son of Murasoli))

Shiv Sena whose chief is Bal Thackeray’s (Balasaheb Thackeray Udhav Thackeray, son of Balasaheb Smitha Thackeray, daughter-in-law of Balasaheb wife of second son Jayadev; divorced but using Thackeray surname Raj Thackeray, nephew of Balasaheb).

These political parties which are no more than family business of these politicians, is inherited by their son’s or family members. Voter of the country had voted for those, who represent a dynasty or belongs from a political family.

From last many years no new faces were introduced in election but this time country has seen a change. Many fresh faces can be seen this time which are no longer associated with political family. Arvind Kejriwal is best example of it who recently won the Delhi assembly elections.

Will the dynasties continue to rule Indian or any change will take place this time…….........
India need Change vote for Change

Health Benefits of Lemon; Rich source of vitamin C

Ancient Egyptians believed that consumption of lemons was essential to protect them from a variety of poisons, and recent research has confirmed this belief. Evidence of the consumption of lemon, dates back to 2,000 years ago in the ruins of Pompeii, which was buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted, though it is generally accepted that lemons were first cultivated in India.

A rich source of vitamin C, lemons are inexpensive, yet rich in nutritional value. One cup of lemon juice has 55 gm of vitamin C or more than 70 per cent of the recommended dietary allowance for women. Apart from this, it contains potassium, some amount of calcium and iron. Mumbai-based nutritionist, Shibani Talpade lists the benefits, “The vitamin C content in lemon strengthens the walls of blood vessels and helps prevent atherosclerosis. Lemon also promotes iron absorption, which in turn helps develop bone density, especially in women and children.”

Lemon juice consists of about 5 per cent citric acid that gives it a tart taste. This citrus fruit fights infections and is a quick fix remedy for many common ailments.
Lemon can help relieve digestion problems when mixed with hot water. It also combats common cold — one spoon of lemon juice mixed with one spoon of honey provides relief. When lemon is added to hot water or tea, it helps ease pain.

Lemon also has therapeutic properties as well. “It helps heal wounds faster as the vitamin C content stimulates the production of collagen — a key requirement for the repair of injuries,” says Talpade. The problems caused by a dry mouth can be solved by lemon, which stimulates saliva flow effectively. One of the many attributes of lemon is its ability to relieve nausea. Sucking on a lemon wedge will abate queasiness.

10 हजार रुपये से 1 अरब डॉलर तक का हैरान करने वाला सफर

इंटरनेट की बढ़ती पहुंच और युवाओं के बीच ऑनलाइन शॉपिंग की बढ़ती लोकप्रियता के बीच ई-कॉमर्स कंपनी फ्लिपकार्ट के जरिए सालाना बिक्री का आंकड़ा 1 अरब डॉलर (करीब 6,100 करोड़ रुपये) पार कर गया है। कंपनी ने एक साल पहले ही यह लक्ष्य हासिल कर लिया। लेकिन क्या आप जानते हैं इस बिक्री के पीछे कितनी बड़ी राशि को निवेश किया गया था।

सचिन बसंल और बिन्नी दोनों ने लगातार 18 माह तक पहले परिजनों से प्रति माह 10,000 रुपये लेकर ई-कॉमर्स वेबसाइट शुरू की थी जहां वह किताबों की बिक्री करते थे। फ्लिपकार्ट ने वर्ष 2015 तक 1 अरब डॉलर का आंकड़ा छूने का लक्ष्य रखा था। फ्लिपकार्ट के सह-संस्थापकों, सचिन बंसल और बिन्नी बंसल की तरफ से जारी बयान में कहा गया, 'मार्च, 2011 में हमने घोषणा की थी कि हम 2015 तक एक अरब डॉलर का आंकड़ा छूना चाहते हैं। उस समय हमारा रन रेट एक करोड़ डॉलर का था। आज हमें यह घोषणा करते हुए गर्व हो रहा है कि हमने 1 अरब डॉलर का रन रेट लक्ष्य से एक साल पहले हासिल कर लिया है।'

ऑनलाइन बुक स्टोर से शुरुआतफ्लिपकार्ट ने ऑनलाइन बुक स्टोर के रूप में शुरुआत की थी। अब यह फैशन और इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स समेत कई क्षेत्रों के उत्पाद बेचती है। कंपनी ने फ्रिज, वॉशिंग मशीन और फर्निचर जैसी चीजें भी बेचनी शुरू कर दी है।

मार्केटप्लस मॉडलकंपनी मार्केटप्लेस मॉडल के रूप में भी परिचालन करती है, जिसके तहत यह रिटेलरों को उत्पाद अपने प्लेटफॉर्म के जरिए बेचने की सुविधा देती है। कंपनी ने पिछले साल निजी इक्विटी कोष से 36 करोड़ डॉलर जुटाए थे। यह ई-कॉमर्स क्षेत्र में अपनी तरह का सबसे बड़ा सौदा है।

ऑनलाइन ग्राहक 2 करोड़एक अनुमान के मुताबिक देश में फिलहाल इंटरनेट इस्तेमाल करने वाले लोगों की तादाद 20 करोड़ है। इनमें से 2 करोड़ ऑनलाइन शॉपिंग करते हैं।
बादशाहत को चुनौतीदुनिया की सबसे बड़ी ई--कॉमर्स कंपनी अमेजन अमेरिका में ग्राहकों को सीधे माल बेचती है। उसके जरिए दूसरे रिटेलर भी अपने उत्पाद बेच सकते हैं। भारतीय कानून अंतरराष्ट्रीय ऑनलाइन रिटेलरों को मल्टीपल ब्रांड बेचने की इजाजत नहीं देता। अमेजन के पास अपने इस 10वें उपक्रम के लिए बाजार है। अमेजन के लिए भारतीय दांव कई वजहों से बेहद महत्वपूर्ण है।

यहां तीसरे नंबर पर दुनिया में सबसे ज्यादा इंटरनेट इस्तेमाल करने वाले लोग हैं और बड़े पैमाने पर ऑनलाइन रिटेल की संभावना है। पांच खरब डॉलर के रिटेल कारोबार में ऑनलाइन रिटेल का कारोबार करीब 1.25 अरब डॉलर का है। रिटेल कंसल्टेंसी टेक्नोपैक को उम्मीद है कि अगले 10 साल में यह 61 गुना ब़़ढ जाएगा। यह अमेजन प्रमुख बेजोज के लिए सपना सच होने जैसा है।

दूरगामी नजरिया
1990 के दशक की शुरुआत में जब इंटरनेट का इस्तेमाल बढ़ने लगा तब वॉल स्ट्रीट में बैंकर बेजोस ने एक रिपोर्ट पढ़ी, जिसके मुताबिक, कुछ वर्षो में ई-कॉमर्स 2,300 प्रतिशत बढ़ने वाला था। उन्होंने खुद से कहा, 'मैं इसमें अपना हिस्सा चाहता हूं। वे नौकरी छोड़कर न्यूयॉर्क से सिएटल पहुंच गए और 1994 में अपने गैराज से अमेजन की शुरआत की। तब इसका नाम कैडेबरा नाम था।

भारत का माहौल अलगलेकिन, भारतीय माहौल थोड़ा अलग है। देश के ऑनलाइन रिटेल उद्योग में पहले से ही एक कंपनी तेजी से आगे बढ़ रही है। फ्लिपकार्ट सबसे बड़ी घरेलू ई-कॉमर्स कंपनी है, जिसने अमेजन का ही मॉडल अपना लिया है। इसे अमूमन भारत का अमेजन कहा जाता है। (नईदुनिया)

Careers in Journalism

Pen is mightier than the sword. Even today, the younger generation is attracted to journalism. Everyday, there are several events happening across the world - political, cultural, religious, educational, social and natural events, etc. We come to know about these events sitting in our houses. How is that possible? Through mass communication, providing information to a large crowd at the same time. But, for this, someone has to collect the information as well as present it. This is the main aim of journalism. Journalism includes investigating, analysing and reporting local as well as world events, trends, current affairs, and so on.

Qualification

Journalism courses are offered at graduation and post-graduation levels. To become a journalism , one can complete a Bachelor's in mass communication/ mass media/journalism after +2. After completion in a related graduation field, one may complete a Master's in journalism or mass communication. A graduate (who has a flair for writing) from any other field can also opt for a postgraduate course in journalism.

Also required is command over language, confidence, enthusiasm, patience and perseverance, ability to differentiate between fact and fiction, adhering to deadlines, team cohesiveness, sensitivity to different views and lifestyles, in-depth knowledge about various fields such as politics, culture, religion, social and current affairs. The most important fact is that people generally feel that journalism is all about writing. It is. However, it is also about reading and most importantly, the ability to express one's thoughts on varied topics. Journalism is for people who are ready to explore various opportunities 24/7, without the constraints of cultural upbringing, gender, and are also ready to go beyond geographical boundaries.

Job prospects

There are different categories in which the media industry can be divided - print and electronic. As the name suggests, everything that is printed comes under print media, which includes newspapers, magazines, journals, tabloids, dailies and books. On the other hand, electronic media includes content on television, radio and the internet. With changes in the society, even this field has undergone a radical change. A journalist has to cover stories/ features on various aspects of life i.e. political, financial, leisure, crime, sports, entertainment, spiritual, educational, infrastructure, technological, medical, and so on. Not to forget, along with the newspapers, there has been an increase in the number of magazines too. Specialised magazines are available in the field of fashion, beauty, family, for youth, travel, medical, technological, lifestyle, education, sports, etc. They can be in many languages.

Some of the work opportunities are in the areas of advertising agencies; educational institutes, magazines, news papers, portals/websites of publications, publishing houses, radio channels as well as television channels. While there are opportunities in this field, it is a competitive field. Therefore, one has to perform at the highest level and be able to work under difficult situations. However, if one persists with hard work and passion, a career in journalism can be a fulfilling and lucrative option.

Skills required

Beauty of Shimla Hills, Rhododendrons (Buransh)

Much of the Himalayan lands in Himachal have a forest cover that hold a variety of trees, which are not only help to moderate the climate but also protect the environment and enhance the scenic beauty of the hills.

With the onset of summer, Buras also called buransh (Rhododendron) have begun dot the landscapes around the city.

Found growing away in the wild between 1800 and 2800 meters altitude, the red coloured Rhododendron flower was declared the state flower in 2007.

The status has helped in over exploitation of the wild flower, which residents earlier used to harvest relentlessly each summer for making juices, squashes and other beverages.

A walk through the woods around Himachal Pradesh University, around the localities of Bharari, Taradevi, Jakhu forest roads and Sanjauli are prized these days because of the large number of trees in bloom.

Tourists who notice these flowering trees are eager to get themselves photographed in such scenic settings, with some just clicking close up shots of the flowers as memorable moments spent in the hill station.

The Rhododendron flower also hold nutritional and health properties and is used by traditional nature medicine practitioners for curing common colds, asthma, some heart ailments and digestive disorders.

Two years ago, when I for the first time came to Shimla, on a uphill walk to Jakhu temple, when I first got to these flowers of immense beauty up close, the impression was case permanently that I cherish even today.

Himachal state flower Rhododendrn

The walk through a Rhododendron lit forest with my brother, sister, brother in law and their child is one of the first impressions of this city that has held me here.

Birds chirping about and monkeys frolicking among the flowers in these silent sentinels of Shimla, simply add to the beauty of the town that even attracted the mighty rulers of the British Empire, about two centuries ago, to this hill station.

Once again the same tournament that we call “Elections”

A cricket world cup or a parliamentary elections, It’s one and a same thing in India. The only difference is that cricket world cup comes once in four years but election comes once in Five years.

I am just 23 year, which is not mature enough age to write a matured political piece, But few days back one of my friend said a very factual sentence to me about Arvind Kejriwal.

Yes, the same Arwind Kejriwal, the so called Aam Aadmi. My friend said that it hardly matters about goodness or badness of Kejriwal’s tenure as Delhi’s chief minister but at least he left his everything and tested his level to change the system. That’s really appreciable.

Image source: Meri News Photos

Actually I also feel the same thing but now you will not even take a second to judge me as a supporter of Aam Aadmi Party. But wait, it’s not like that.

Kejriwal’s resignation as chief minister was not the solution. He should have faced the situation and should have got back with the solution. But he didn’t.

Well’ that all is past. And now, even Arvind has left the past. Now he is looking forward to his future. Yes, his future, which he calls as nation’s future. Arvind is getting back with the same enthusiasm for Lok Sabha elections.

His party has made the 16th parliamentary elections like an interesting T- 20 match. A kind of tri-series match where three teams are participating in the tournament as  team Modi, team Rahul and team Kejriwal. The winner of this tournament will win the political throne for next five years.

But what is the difference. This tournament comes every year. Hundreds of political parties come; one wins and become the owner of the country for five years. Some of my friends say that even there are some problems in the country but still we have done a lot in the field of development.

Yes, we have done a lot. We are doing much in the field of education, but we are not able to provide good education to everyone. We have roads, but not in a condition to have a comfortable journey. We have reached to space, but we still have a child at road side asking for one rupee because he is hungry. We have industries, but we also have a situation when there are only 100 vacancies and ten Lakhs applicants for those ten vacancies. We have AIIMS kind of hospitals but we also have a situation where every 4th child dies with calories weakness.

Actually we are the best, but at the same time we are the worst.  That’s what we call development. That’s the situation that needs change. Narendra Modi says he will bring that change, Rahul Gandhi says he will bring that change, Arvind also says he will bring that change. But still nothing has changed.

Again the same national event is going to take place in the country which is called ‘Elections’. Now it would have to be seen that will this time the change actually take place or again we will just sit and write this kind of article? It’s up to you.

Go and choose your system, be the part of system…

E-waste: A Growing Industry and Environmental threat for India

Advancement in the technology has made every work easier and less time consuming. The importance of this technology for everyone cannot be denied. In every year this technology changes its shape.

We have electric components like, computer, mobile, tablet, laptop, printers, tv, etc. These are now considered as essential part in day to day life. One cannot think about survive without of these devices. Improper disposal of electronic-waste is arising threat to India and other countries too.

Electronic-waste is all the electrical material which causes dangerous gases while repairing or destroying. E-waste is one of the rapidly growing problems which India is facing these days.  India is facing big boom in this type of waste as technology is changing day by day. People are moving towards new instruments as they suit them.

There are about 90 crores of mobile users and if we also count computers then its counting will cross the boundary. This e-waste is causing problem to environment as people are not aware about its dangers. In e-waste there are about 100 of poisonous things which pollute our environment and water.

There are the poisonous chemicals like Sisa, Para, Cadmium, etc. According to a report on e-waste, India is only recycling 5 percent of its total e-waste. This waste poses a serious health and environment hazards.

In e-waste recycling all companies and government should come together to solve this serious problem. Companies should recall their electrical products which are not in use so that these can be recycled properly.

Consumer too should take responsibility to not to through e-waste here and there. One side India is facing problem like population, shortage of drinking water, malting of glaciers, and so many, other side e-waste is emerging as a threat especially for India.

Proper disposal of e-waste should be done so that we can prevent ourselves from its hazardous.

Government sets up 7th pay commission: Justice A K Mathur to head

The Government on Tuesday setup a four member seventh central pay commission ahead of general elections that are due by May; commission will be headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur. This commission will revise the salary structure of five million central government employees, including those in defence and railways and about three million pensioners.

The Commission has been mandated to submit its report in two years' time and its recommendations would be implemented from January 1, 2016.

Seven pay commissions have been set up on a regular basis to review and make recommendations on the work and pay structure of all civil and military divisions of the Government of India. The Sixth Pay Commission, headed by Justice B.N. Srikrishna was constituted on 5 October 2006. It submitted its report on 24 March 2008, but its recommendations were implemented from 1 January 2006.

The First Pay Commission was established in 1956, and since then the Union government usually appoints a pay commission once in a decade to revise the wages of Union government employees.

History of Pay Commissions in India

First Pay Commission
The First Pay Commission was constituted in May 1946 under the Chairmanship of Sri Srinivasa Varadachariar. Taking inspiration from the Islington Commission Report of 1912 under the Chairmanship of Lord Islington, the concept of living wages meaning that in no case an employee’s wage be less than the living wage, was taken into consideration in formulating the recommendations of the First Pay Commission. The Commission has fixed Rs.55, of which Basic Pay was Rs.30 and DA Rs.25 as the minimum wage. The recommendations were accepted by the Government.

Second Pay Commission
The Second Pay Commission was set up in August 1957 under the Chairmanship of Justice Jagannath Das and the Commission took two years to finalize the report. One of the recommendations of the Commission was that the pay structure and working environment of the government employees should be crafted in such a way as to ensure efficient functioning of the system by recruiting persons with a minimum qualification, which was earlier not followed. The Commission recommended the minimum wage at Rs.80 (Basic Pay Rs.70 and DA Rs.10) per month and reduced the multiple numbers of pay scales.

Third Pay Commission
The Third Pay Commission was set up in April 1970 under the Chairmanship of Justice Raghuvir Dayal. It went beyond the idea of minimum subsistence and added three concepts of inclusiveness, comprehensibility and adequacy for pay structure to be sound in nature as to be attractive to the employees, which, the Commission felt that it would improve the efficiency of functioning of the Government machinery. It recommended the minimum wage at Rs.185 per month and the Government raised it to Rs.196. Pay fixation formula was made more liberal. The Commission gave its report in March 1973.

Fourth Pay Commission
The Fourth Pay Commission was constituted in March 1983 under the Chairmanship of Sri P.N.Singhal. It recommended for creating permanent machinery as part of the administration to undertake periodical review of pay and allowances of the employees. However, it was never implemented by the Government. It recommended for minimum wage of Rs.750. It took four years and submitted the report in three phases. The report was implemented with effect from 01.01.1986.

Fifth Pay Commission
The Fifth Pay Commission was set up in 1994 under the Chairmanship of Justice Ratnavel Pandian. The Commission recommended for fixing the minimum wage at Rs.2550 per month, to further reduce the number of pay scales from 51 to 34 and to slash the government workforce by about 30% with grant of salary hikes to the retained employees. It took 4 years for the Commission to submit its report. During this period, the Government of India was in take-off mode with the concept of LPG (Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation) in its economic reforms, for which it has to look to the World Bank and IMF and thus the World Bank has opened its mouth with criticism on the after effects of the Pay Commission recommendations on the Indian economy.

Sixth Pay Commission
Sixth Pay Commission was set up in July 2006 under the Chairmanship of Justice B.N.Srikrishna with a time frame of 18 months. While formulating pay scales with upward revision and fixing the minimum salary at entry level at Rs.6660 (Basic Pay Rs.4860 and Grade Pay Rs.1800) and maximum at Rs.80000 at Secretary level, the Commission mainly focussed on removing ambiguity in respect of the existing pay scales and, introducing the idea of ‘Pay Bands’, while reducing the number of pay scales. It recommended for removal of Group – D cadre.
