6. Domain and Infrastructure
Immediate
attention
required
on
infrastructure
to
boost
exports
The
recent
economic
survey
2012-­‐13
has
highlighted
that
India
needs
to
pay
immediate
attention
on
issues
related
to
infrastructure,
trade
facilitation,
taxes
and
credit
in
order
to
boost
the
country's
exports.
Indian
export
has
been
performing
badly
since
May
2012,
albeit
some
improvement
in
recent
months.
In
the
face
of
exchange
rate
volatility,
competition
on
price
front
is
ambiguous.
Moreover,
due
to
various
free
trade
agreements,
tariff
barriers
are
losing
priority
to
boost
competitiveness.
So
the
cost
aspects,
such
as
port-­‐specific
and
sector
-­‐
specific
issues,
need
urgent
attention.
On
infrastructure
front,
it
is
said
that
even
the
best
Indian
ports
do
not
have
the
state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art
technology
as
in
Singapore
and
China.
On
trade
facilitation
front,
the
survey
pointed
out
that
there
is
a
need
to
simplify
the
multiple
documentation
procedures
as
on
an
average,
Indian
exporter
is
required
to
sign
at
about
130
places
to
complete
an
export
transaction.
The
procedures
and
transaction
costs
need
to
be
reduced
to
the
barest
minimum
(Economic
Survey
2013-­‐13).
Trade
facilitation
(soft
infrastructure)
has
been
found
a
statistically
significant
factor
affecting
trade
flow.
World
Bank
study,
found
that
10
per
cent
improvement
in
export
custom
procedures
would
enhance
the
export
performance
by
15.8
per
cent
and
17.1
per
cent
for
the
merchandise
exports
and
manufactured
exports
respectively
(Broadman
2007).
In
the
same
way,
an
increase
in
internet
services
by
10
per
cent
in
the
exporter
country
would
enhance
the
exports
of
all
products
and
manufactured
products
by
1.9
per
cent
and
2.2
per
cent
respectively
(Broadman
2007).
The
sensitivity
(elasticity)
of
Indian
exports
to
trade
facilitation
is
more
than
to
the
tariff
rate
as
per
the
estimation
of
the
gravity
model
carried
out
by
the
authors.
The
soft
infrastructure
can
be
improved
in
the
short
run
with
some
conscious
efforts
for
better
coordination
of
various
agencies
involved
in
trade
and
capacity-­‐building
programmes
of
the
staff.
E-­‐
trading/filing
should
be
given
priority.
Likewise,
enhancing
capacity
to
meet
sanitary
and
phyto-­‐sanitary
and
technical
standards
will
go
a
long
way
in
boosting
export
growth.
Renewable
Energy:
Way
to
go
While
turning
young
engineering
and
management
graduates
into
entrepreneurs
is
often
piped
as
crucial
for
our
country
striving
for
sustainability
in
our
energy
needs
is
also
imperative.
Aaron
Eipe
John,
a
student
of
M
Tech.
(Energy
systems),
College
of
Engineering
Studies
(CoES,
UPES),
perhaps
aims
to
have
a
shot
at
both!
Aaron,
a
mechanical
engineer
(B.E.)
from
Anna
University
in
the
year
2011
is
a
budding
technocrat
who
dreams
of
making
products
which
run
on
renewable
energy
sources.
!
!
Some
of
the
projects
he
has
worked
on
include
a
‘Fuel
efficient
kiln’,
‘Cheap
energy
efficient
passive
solar
tracking
using
water’,
‘Pneumatic

‘Mechanical

‘Non

“Hydrogen

etc.
Aaron
is
presently
working
on
designing
and
fabrication
of
a
project
titled
“Heat
to
Refrigeration
in
Automobiles
and
Air-­‐conditioners”
which
involves
both
CoES
and
CoMES
for
designing
and
marketing
the
technology.
Putting
such
innovative
ideas
into
practice
for
using
renewable
energy
is
what
the
budding
entrepreneurs
and
technocrats
of
our
country
should
take
a
lead
from.

FIGHTING
CORROSION
IN
PIPELINE
NETWORK
THE
SRB
WAY
The
souring
of
wells
and
corrosion
of
pipelines
are
major
problems
causing
huge
financial
losses
to
all
oil
companies
all
over
the
world.
The
prime
corrosion
causing
factor
in
pipeline
networks
has
been
the
Sulphate
Reducing
Bacteria
(SRB)
also
known
as
Desulfovibrio
Desulfuricans.
This
is
because
it
is
involved
heavily
in
the
processes
of
H₂S
production
oil
reservoirs.
SRB’s
are
more
pronounced
in
the
case
of
water
injection
pipelines
than
in
the
oil
pipelines.
These
have
the
capability
of
producing
enzymes
which
increases
the
power
to
reduce
sulphate
compounds
and
form
H₂S.
The
SRB
acts
a
catalyst
in
the
reduction
reaction.
This
specific
reduction
process
occurs
under
the
presence
of
the
following
four
components:
a)
SRBs
b)
Sulphates
c)
External
energy
source
in
the
form
of
free
electrons
and
d)
The
temperature
of
water
should
be
less
than
65
°c.
Detailed
microbiological
studies
have
suggested
that
sea
water
when
mixed
with
formation
water
supports
the
significant
production
of
sulphides.
For
detecting
SRBs
the
most
accepted
technique
adopted
by
the
oil
and
gas
industry
is
the
API
RP
386
method
of
SRB
culture.
SRB
constitute
a
diverse
group
of
microorganisms
often
interrelated
only
by
their
ability
to
reduce
sulphates
to
sulphides
in
anaerobic
conditions.
The
API
RP
386
technique
grows
only
lactate
using
SRB
and
it
requires
an
incubation
period
of
28
days
for
the
final
conclusion.
Thus
to
fight
the
SRBs,
rapid
and
accurate
detection
from
the
samples
of
the
various
pipelines
are
necessary.
1.Different
classes
of
bactericides
are
injected
@400
PPM
in
various
pipelines
on
weekly
basis
to
arrest
the
growth
of
SRBs
in
pipelines
and
reservoirs.
2.The
pigging
programs
for
various
pipelines
are
also
chalked
out
depending
on
the
SRB
detection
studies.
Cushions
of
bactericide
in
sufficient
quantity
between
two
pigs
are
injected.
This
methodology
is
very
effective
in
restricting
the
growth
of
SRBs.
Biocides
for
treating
SRBs
must
be
determined
based
on
the
effectiveness
to
kill
planktonic
and
sessile
microorganisms
with
minimum
concentration
level
dosing
and
should
be
compatible
with
the
pipeline
fluids
and
should
adhere
to
the
environmental
guidelines.

AIRPORT
INFRASTRUCTURE
IN
THE
ERA
OF
PRIVATIZATION
The
Indian
market
is
underserved
with
less
than
3%
of
its
total
population
using
the
air
transportation.
The
growth
in
passenger
and
cargo
traffic
indicates
the
possibility
of
healthy
Load
Factors
(LFs)
for
all
airlines
in
the
next
decade.
This
growth
has
created
a
significant
pressure
to
upgrade
the
country’s
airport
infrastructure.
By
opening
up
this
sector
for
private
participation,
the
challenges
of
financing
have
been
dealt
through
competitive
bids,
be
it
the
case
of
Brownfield
or
Greenfield
PPP
airports.
Therefore,
this
is
a
good
time
for
global
players
to
enter
the
Indian
aviation
market
to
target
not
only
the
busy
trunk
routes
but
also
the
potential
market
which
is
not
served.
On
the
other
side,
the
state-­‐owned,
Airports
Authority
of
India
(AAI)
has
also
continued
its
effort
to
modernize
and
redevelop
several
airports
in
the
country.
The
XII
Five
Year
Plan
allocated
about
INR
13,000
crores
to
the
AAI,
for
modernization
of
the
Kolkata
and
Chennai
airports,
which
was
recently
accomplished
and
are
on
the
verge
of
privatization.
The
Indian
Government
is
constantly
looking
at
different
ways
to
support
the
increased
infrastructure
pressures
for
a
second
airport
at
Delhi
and
Bangalore
along
with
a
plan
of
a
third
airport.
The
Aviation
climate
in
India
needs
to
ensure
the
healthy
growth
of
Airlines,
together
with
the
Airport
operators
and
allied
service
providers;
in
the
meantime
building
infrastructure
along
with
avionics,
aviation
equipment
capabilities
and
technology
of
Indian
industry.
For
any
nation,
infrastructure
steers
the
growth
and
is
a
matter
of
pride
may
it
be
roadways,
railways
or
airports.
Thus,
development
of
airport
infrastructure
is
the
need
of
the
hour
in
India.

8. In The Words of Our
Alumni
PANCHTANTRA
MODEL
OF
DELIVERY
–
FINISHED
GOODS
ITC
Limited
being
one
of
the
most
diversified
players
in
the
FMCG
industry,
does
not
leave
any
stone
untouched
when
it
comes
to
the
delivery
of
finished
goods
to
the
customers.
There
are
total
5
ways,
which
ITC
adopts
to
make
sure
that
the
finished
goods
are
delivered
to
the
customers
on
time,
as
per
demand
along
with
a
pinch
of
sheer
delight.
K0
–
When
the
goods
are
delivered
directly
from
factory
to
the
door
step
of
retailer.
Whenever
a
product
which
is
less
variable
in
terms
of
demand
is
running
high
in
terms
of
sales
is
delivered
directly
to
the
retailer
to
save
time
and
to
avoid
sale
loss.
K1
–
When
from
factory,
goods
are
sent
directly
to
distributors,
we
call
it
as
K1
format
of
delivery.
Generally
the
products
which
are
less
variable
in
terms
of
demand
.
K2
–
When
goods
are
transferred
from
factory
to
Hub
for
temporary
storage
purpose
or
when
for
the
purpose
of
stock
equalization
(particularly
in
case
of
Cigarettes),
the
stock
moves
within
hubs,
comes
under
K2
format.
K3
–
This
is
the
most
common
format
of
delivering
goods
to
customers,
where
in
a
hub,
demand
(based
upon
push
marketing
strategy)
of
a
customer
for
different
SKUs
in
small
quantity
is
consolidated
to
make
an
FTL.
SAP
based
TPVS
model
plays
an
immense
role.
K4
–
This
is
the
format,
which
we
define
for
the
delivery
of
goods
from
Distributors
to
Retailers.

ART
OF
PRESENTATION
Powerpoint
has
helped
students
and
professionals
through
many
a
presentation
over
the
years.
And
we
owe
a
lot
to
the
presentation-­‐making
software.
But
in
recent
years,
there
have
been
many
updates
and
more
innovative
options.
Is
PowerPoint
a
great
presentation
tool?
Absolutely.
But
are
there
options
besides
PowerPoint?
Yes—a
resounding
yes!
Here
are
some
of
those
you
could
give
a
try.
The
business
world
owes
a
lot
to
the
presentation-­‐making
software.
However,
there
are
other
alternatives:
Prezi:
A
fun
and
modern
presentation
tool
which
allows
the
presentation
to
come
alive
with
its
zooming
features.
“Virtual
whiteboard”,
a
great
tool
that
collaborates
teams
at
different
locations,
i.e.
co-­‐editing
in
real
time.
One
can
even
make
a
virtual
resume
or
Prezume
with
it!
Zoho
Show:
It
is
a
simple
tool
that
is
quite
similar
to
Powerpoint,
but
with
more
design
features.
PowToon:
It
is
a
creative
little
presentation
tool
that
brings
life
to
a
presentation
in
a
fun
and
engaging
way
while
informing
and
entertaining
the
audience.
Google
Doc
Presentation:
This
tool
is
essentially
a
more
updated
Powerpoint
is
very
simple
to
use
and
also
easily
accessible
to
anyone
with
a
Gmail
account.
Like
all
Google
Doc
applications,
it
is
easy
to
edit
and
share
among
colleagues
and
team
members.
A
feature
that
can
be
good
to
use,
is
the
chat
bar,
which
allows
your
audience
to
make
comments
and
ask
questions
while
you
present.
Slide
Rocket:
This
user-­‐friendly
presentation
application
has
a
plethora
of
design
tools
while
not
being
overwhelming.
You
can
upload
your
current
Powerpoint
presentations
to
Slide
Rocket
and
take
advantage
of
its
multitude
designing,
editing
and
tracking
tools.
Presentations
become
interactive
with
Slide
Rocket
as
your
audience
can
comment
right
inside
of
the
presentation
and
also
let
you
know
which
slides
they
liked
and
what
content
was
most
engaging.
Since
it
is
a
web-­‐based
application,
changes
made
to
the
master
copy
are
automatically
implemented
in
all
versions
of
the
