In order to keep Information Technology safe tool to use the Indian Government passed Information Technology Act and subsequently did necessary amendments in it. The Law efficiently deals with the offences done inside the country. Because of this act many culprits have been convicted. It has given a robust protection to Information Technology within the country but however it still falls short when compared with many other nations to defend its systems aggressively from cyber terrorists.

Indian Constitution defines “Right to Equality” guaranteed under Article 14, as; “Equality before law,” and reads as follows, “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.” (Singhvi, 2008) Article 14 read along-with Article 21 i.e. ‘Right to life,’ has acquired a much broader meaning with the broadest possible concept of equality among all. This concept of equality certainly extends to ‘equal rights for all people to enjoyment and use of nature’s gifts.’ The Indian Supreme Court has upheld it many a times and often interpreted this right as overriding the rights of artificial juristic persons, i.e. corporate engaged in purely economic activities.
The question to be considered here is, “Is this right to equality is limited to people living/existing presently or does this right extend and transcend future generations too?” Is it to be inferred that a person yet to be born after 200 years also have the same right over nature? Does this mean that equality has to be maintained across generations too? Therefore, is this inter-generational equality not only a basic human-right but also an enforceable legislative and constitutional right? Can we monetize and attach a notional value to something which does not belong to us? How can a future generation, due to come after 200 or 500 years ensure equality with present generation? Is this inter-generational ‘Right to Equality’ enforceable, and can it be effectively legislated? How can the levels of this inter-generational equality be calculated?
What is science supposed to do?
Search for Truth
Science is to provide a basic understanding of the subject and contributes in sum-total of intellect
Application of science is intended to help improve the overall quality of life in a wholesome manner.
Science should help to foresee the future holistically (cause, effect and consequences, in all its dimensions) and help in forecasting and solving the future issues within the control of human beings; without disturbing the overall equilibrium in any manner.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Hemant Goswami Smoke Free Chandigarh
1. Everything you can imagine is real
Smoke-
Smoke-Free
Chandigarh
A Case Study
Hemant Goswami
2. The Resources Used
Total Grants/Financial support received for Smoke-Free Chandigarh
project – Nil
Government Support – Nil
Indirect Government Support - Nil
Total Money Spent – Less than 5 Lakh (10,000 US$) over a period of
one year
(We acknowledge the support of 5000 US$ by ACS, Some part of the grant for one of the components in the project)
3. A less traveled path
• Smoke-Fee concept was a less traveled path in India
• No Precedence - Developed our own learning to take the
challenge
• Ignored Problem – Challenge to bring in a problem like
tobacco to the forefront which is often ignored because
the amount of work this problem requires is massive.
The size of the task discourages many.
4. The High’s & Lows
• The Journey to Smoke-Free Chandigarh has been
studded with some failures and some successes
• Every action has a component of failure and it
remains an important ingredient of success
• Failures sharpens the learning curve ……..
(But one must test and try … only what is initiated has a chance to
succeed)
5. As a Civil Society
• As an independent civil society organisation, we did what every
civil society should do….
– Generate Public Opinion
– Add and involve more Partners
– Move and sensitize the authorities
– Remain an independent watchdog
– Work to sustain the efforts
6. Background to smoke-free
Chandigarh
• Took More than 4 years of consistent efforts.
A workshop for police in 2003
Experienced failures and success. A lot of lessons
were learned.
• Used the Independent Judiciary (Public Interest
Litigations; etc.)
• Kept a flow of complaints, court cases, suggestions,
criticism, and…
• Persistently carried on the routine activities aimed to
sensitize the stake-holders and the general populace
7. Strategic Approach
Used a soft and Hard
approach simultaneously
Did all what was required without any
compromises
8. Some unpleasant tasks
• We also caused a lot of trouble to our friends
in the Government - to increase their
sensitization level and to help them bring
tobacco to their priority area
• Once a level of sensitization (trouble we
caused) reached a particular level, things
changed. We softened our tone and assisted
the Government to do the needful.
10. Partnering with stakeholders
• Youngsters, Students
• Media
• Teachers
• Hoteliers
• Government
• Police
• Administration
• Local community leaders
• and… everyone who has an opinion and can do something
11. Strategic Approach
•Proper planning for the end results
•Minimize the assumption of support on external factors
•Have a clearly defined road map
•Persistence and uncompromising conviction
•Did not take anyone and anything for granted… but when the
threshold level reached .. It changed everything
13. Right to Information Act 2005
• In 2005, Right to Information Act (Freedom of Information
legislation) came into existence. We made constructive use of
this legislation
• Filed over 300 Right to Information Petitions and asked for pin
pointed information from all the Government departments
• This helped in bringing tobacco control to the forefront and
within the government radar. The results started reflecting
14. The RTI Petition
1. As per the “Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation
of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003” and “Cigarettes and
Other Tobacco Products Rules, 2004” every public office must display 60X30 cm boards
containing the warning “No Smoking Area – Smoking here is an offence.” Are offices,
buildings and premises of Chandigarh Police and under the control of Chandigarh Police
displaying such warning boards?
2. Provide the location where such warning boards as required under the Cigarettes and Other
Tobacco Products Rules, 2004 are displayed in all the different offices/buildings/ floors/premises

15. The RTI Petition
What is the designation and the name of the person responsible/in-charge for;
5.
1. Ordering affixation of the warning boards against smoking
2. Executing the order to affix such warning boards
3. To be held responsible for not displaying the statutorily prescribed warning boards and for the
purpose of the penal provision under Section 4 (Read with Rule 3) of the “Cigarettes and Other

Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003”.
Are your office and all other offices under the control of this office providing total
6.
smoke-free atmosphere and prohibit smoking in all parts of the building/premise.
Provide a list of all offices/premises under the control of your office which allow
people to smoke within the building/premise and within the boundary wall of the
premises.
7. How many employees, whether temporary or permanent, including officers in
Chandigarh Police and working in all other office/premises/buildings under
Chandigarh Police smoke.
How does your office/orgnaisation cope with the frequent breaks people take to
8.
smoke? What are the rules including departmental rules to deal with the increased
number of smoking breaks employees take?
16. The RTI Petition
9. Does your office/department organize workshops/seminars or intervention programmes for employees
who consume tobacco to help quit tobacco? Is any kind of medical/psychiatric assistance made
available to people addicted to tobacco in office/department under your control? Allow inspection of
records relating to available medical assistance to employees and the complete record of the
workshops/seminar, etc. conducted by or for employees of your office.

to tobacco control legislation(s).
12. Kindly arrange to immediately provide the extracts, certified copies of documents requested (in soft
copy/electronic form or hard copies, depending on the availability) after the inspection of the requested
files/documents/memo.
18. How RTI Helped
Implementation of “Minor” acts (as perceived) are not
a “Priority” for government. The heavy workload
within the Government is one of the reasons.
The RTI petitions highlighted that an important law
intended for public welfare was getting ignored
Brought to focus the minimum statutory legal
requirement under the Act. That of displaying the
“Warning Boards.”
19. Outcome
Once the warning boards were installed (1800
new boards appeared – Year 0-1) in all government
departments, police stations, hospitals, schools,
etc..
………..Things became easier
People got the confidence that the task can be
accomplished. The police and enforcement
agencies got the moral conviction that they
can book others for violations (Because they
were following the law)
