Gujarat textile traders pin hope on government's annual budget
Good morning friends. Gujarati always hope for the best, as Gujarat textile traders pin hope on government’s annual budget.
Textile traders in Surat, who are hit by global recession, high bank interests and soaring cotton prices, hope for some relief in the government's annual budget which is scheduled to be presented on July 6.
The textile industry of Surat has been feeling the heat of global financial crisis with export orders going down.
The industry used to be flooded with orders round the year and small units were busy expanding their operational capacities to meet the increased demand. However, this does not seem to be the case any more. Anil Bhagwani, a garment exporter said that the Central Government should make special provisions for the export of garments.
"Our expectation is that right from the yarn weaving till the market, where finished garments are sold, the government should give more subsidy and as far as the finished garment is concerned, the government should make provisions for export so that the garment business flourishes," Bhagwani added.
Devkishen Mangani, spokesman for Textile Association, Surat, said that the audit limit, fixed by the Central Government at rupees 40 lakh must be increased to rupees two crores for the benefit of small traders.
"Our biggest demand is that around 20-25 years back, the Central government had set the audit limit at rupees 40 lakh and till now it's the same and has not been increased. If it's not increased, the small traders will not be able to progress. So we demand that it should be increased to two crores and also the Income Tax relaxation should be fixed at rupees three lakhs so that the small traders can come forward," Mangani added.The Indian textile industry is one of the largest employment generators in the world.It is also one of the largest textile industries in the world second only to China.

Student wins battle against GU for gold medal (2)
Justice RR Tripathi, who conducted proceedings for nearly six months, asked the university to show the rules which deny medals to the likes of Bhakkade. The university produced documents and filed affidavits that it cannot give the medal to Bhakkade.
However, at the end of the arguments, the university's claims proved wrong, as there was no such provision. The controller of examinations, in fact, defended the university's decision. He stated on affidavit, "Students have adopted malpractice to seek first rank by seeking reassessment."
However, this argument boomeranged, as the petitioner contended that it was an indirect acceptance of poor examination management by the university. The petitioner also highlighted a rule from the university's statute, in which there is a provision to reassess copies of five other toppers, if one of such rank holders' marks are increased during reassessment.
Ultimately, the university gave in and Justice Tripathi ordered the authorities to confer the medal on Bhakkade as he was the rightful candidate for it for 2007-08. Apart from pulling up the university for its stand in this regard, the judge has complimented Bhakkade for his excellent academic career as well as his spirited legal battle to set things right in the varsity. - The Times of India

Student wins battle against GU for gold medal (1)
Good morning friends. Being number one in the examination is the pride of every students. They saw the result of their hardship in studying. After all that hardship, they will not mind that anymore when they saw that they were on top or they got the highest exam.
Gujarat University will have to drastically revise its list of toppers of 2007-08 of Third Year BCom and give gold medal to the deserving candidate.
After hearing the case of a student who turned out to be the topper on seeking reassessment of his examination papers, Gujarat High Court has ordered that he be given the medal, too.
The topper that year of TY BCom (accountancy) was Kirit Soni, who got the gold medal. After the results were announced, Arun Bhakkade got his papers reassessed and he scored 400 marks out of 490 in external exams after 13 marks were increased during reassessment of Business Organization and Management papers.
With this Bhakkade stood first in the college, and another girl Nisha, who also got her papers reassessed, got more marks and stood second. Soni was pushed to the third rank. The embarrassed university authorities were ready to grant a certificate stating that Bhakkade had stood first, but refused to give him the gold medal.
Their claim was that the cases of reassessment are not considered for giving rank and medals. This forced Bhakkade to move the high court through senior advocate Arun Oza maintaining that he is the contender for the medal. - The Times of India

Showers send Amdavadis into raptures
Good morning friends. Most people were enjoying with the rain. Different people, young and old were enjoying their time with the rain.
As the city sky roared with thunder and it poured cats and dogs on the parched earth, Amdavadis rushed to the roads to celebrate the much-awaited rains. "As soon as it started raining, my friend and I went to the Shivranjani flyover and sat on the footpath, drenching in the shower. We then grabbed hot pizzas from Paldi Bhattha and thoroughly enjoyed the first rain of the season," said Vandit Modi, a 20-year-old student.
Young and old alike, people rushed to the streets, especially near IIM and Vastrapur. Families were seen singing on the roads and having a good time - despite the water-logged streets. "Last night, my family and I took advantage of the rain god's blessings and hit the roads. We enjoyed ourselves, especially my seven-year-old daughter," said businessman Rishit Sheth, 36.
Law Garden emerged to be the most-sought-after destination for those looking for culinary delights. "My friends and I had hot dalwadas and chai at a kitli in Law Garden. It was the perfect way to spend such a beautiful night," said an elated Archita Bhalotia, 17.
As the roads were flooded with water, commuting got difficult for many. But all you had to do was look around and somebody was sure to extend a helping hand! "Due to the heavy rains, cars got stuck in the mud. My friends and I helped people push the vehicles. We also played games in the rain and ran about splashing water on each other," said Dilip Rathod, 10, a resident of Gulbai Tekra, showing off his muddy pants from last night. – The Times of India
