Rahul Gandhi at Akbarpur , Uttar PradeshRahul Gandhi
Kanpur: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi addressed a mammoth election rally at Naubasta, Akbarpur in Uttar Pradesh as part of his ongoing Lok Sabha polls campaign. “Congress designs its programmes after discussing with the people. We consider that the people have the knowledge and power. Our duty is just to come to you and seek your opinions. We respect people, their knowledge and strength”, said Rahul Gandhi.
Congresss vice president rahul gandhi at assamRahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi gave a speech attacking the BJP and promoting the Congress party in Assam. He made three key points:
1) The BJP talks about development models but only cares about a select few rich industrialists, not poverty alleviation. Their "India Shining" campaigns always fail when election results are revealed.
2) Assam needs its own development model focused on empowering the people, not imposing the Gujarat model. Congress policies like MNREGA, land reforms, and women's empowerment have reduced poverty in Assam.
3) The BJP pits groups against each other and fails to address poverty, whereas Congress is committed to fully eradicating poverty and empowering people from all walks of life
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi launched the campaign in Maharashtra for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from Wardha on Friday. While addressing the big gathering the Congress slammed the BJP and reiterated that its campaign balloon will burst this time too like in 2004 and 2009. “The poor people of India had deflated the India shining Balloon of NDA twice, in 2004 and 2009. This time they have flown a new, heavier balloon, the Gujarat model; and people of India will deflate this balloon of ‘Gujarat model’ as well. India is going to have yet another Congress government that works for the poor and downtrodden”, said Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi at doda Jammu and KashmirRahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi addressed an election rally in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir. He criticized the BJP for hypocrisy on women's empowerment, noting that BJP cadres have assaulted women in Karnataka. He also questioned why Narendra Modi just now revealed that he was married, after hiding it for so many elections. Gandhi said the Congress believes in empowering all people, while the BJP tries to divide people and suppress dissent.

The TPS was developed with a philosophy of respect for people and eliminating waste to improve quality and productivity.
Supply Chain Management of TOYOTA.......case study by sabio bernard.Sabio Bernard
Toyota is a global auto manufacturer known for its lean manufacturing system called the Toyota Production System (TPS). TPS was developed to improve quality and productivity with the goal of efficiently producing vehicles for customers. Toyota has a global strategy of opening factories in each market it serves and designing plants with flexibility to export to other markets when local demand weakens. For its supply chain, Toyota must address questions around plant location, capacity, market allocation, and product design flexibility to facilitate efficient global manufacturing and distribution.
The document discusses the Panchayati Raj system of local self-governance in India. It describes how Panchayati Raj began in the 1950s based on Mahatma Gandhi's idea of democratic decentralization. India now follows a three-tier Panchayat system of village, block, and district levels. Panchayats are important as they allow for local issues to be addressed and bring governance closer to people.
The document discusses urban local self-government in India. It explains that there are three main types of urban local bodies - Nagar Panchayat for smaller urban areas, municipalities for larger towns, and municipal corporations for big cities. Municipalities and corporations are responsible for providing basic amenities and handling local issues. They carry out obligatory functions like water, sanitation and education, as well as voluntary functions like parks and cultural events. Mayors head corporations while municipalities have a president. Revenue comes from taxes, fees and state grants. The purpose is to empower citizens and address community needs locally.

Oorvani Foundation - March 2014 fundraiserGanga Madappa
This document makes the case for supporting an independent media organization called Oorvani Foundation. It notes that mainstream media often fails to provide full context or perspectives on important issues. Oorvani Foundation aims to fill this gap by providing in-depth investigative reporting and empowering citizens through collaborative journalism. It has pioneered a hybrid model that complements professional reporting with citizen reporting and commentary. The document encourages supporting this nonprofit organization to help fund its work producing public interest journalism and acting as a watchdog. It provides details on how readers can make online or offline donations to help Oorvani Foundation continue its mission.
Oorvani Foundation - March 2015 fundraiserCitizenMatters
Oorvani Foundation is having its end of the year fundraiser. The yearly budget for community journalism is around 25 lakhs, and we hope to raise at least 5 lakhs from this campaign. In addition to making a contribution, it will be extremely helpful if you could share this with friends too, along with a personal note.
The document proposes several initiatives to improve literacy, agriculture, and healthcare in Indian villages. It suggests developing engaging teaching methods to promote literacy among rural children. For agriculture, it recommends creating local service centers to provide irrigation support, crop advice, counseling, financial help, and job training to prevent farmer suicides. On healthcare, it proposes mobile hospital vans staffed by doctors working in shifts to deliver care in rural areas lacking infrastructure. The document aims to interview social activist Anna Hazare to learn about his experience establishing a model village and engaging youth to strengthen rural communities.
The document discusses ensuring world-class civic amenities in urban India. It notes that India's urban population is growing rapidly and will account for 50% of the total population by 2025. However, current civic infrastructure is inadequate, with most cities lacking proper sanitation, roads, transportation and other amenities. Providing housing, water, transportation and managing waste are some of the major challenges faced. A strong, well-managed infrastructure is needed to support this urban growth and ensure access to basic services and amenities.

However, current civic infrastructure is inadequate, with many cities lacking basic services like sanitation, roads, and public transportation. Providing housing, water, transportation, waste disposal and other amenities to growing urban populations is challenging due to barriers like lack of funding and policy support. The document argues that developing strong, well-managed infrastructure is essential to meet these challenges and ensure high quality civic services and living standards in India's future cities.

How to vote in assembly election? Information for first time voters
Whyashwin4mla
1. Have you seen this bus?
Everywhere in Bangalore, it is easy to see the Big10 bus.
But do you know the story of this bus? And do you know –
we can make the entire bus system as good as the Big10
bus, if we elect the right people as our public
representatives.
2. Dr Ashwin Mahesh is the man who
had the idea for the Big10 bus.
He had a simple idea. There are 10 big roads from
other cities to Bangalore, covering all directions –
Hosur Road, Bannerghatta Road, Sarjapur Road,
Kanakapura Road, etc. On these 10 roads, he suggested to BMTC that
we should run brightly coloured, easily visible buses from far outside
up to the city centre. The buses should be frequent – passengers
should not spend much time waiting at the bus stop. They should be
able to plan their trip with confidence that they can complete it on
time.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

3. A city of great lakes?
There are 183 lakes within BBMP’s boundary, and more
than 200 other lakes surrounding the city. If we cleaned
them up and maintained them properly, Bangalore should
never have a water problem. To achieve that, we need the
right leaders.
4. Ashwin Mahesh is the man who
figured out how local communities can
help maintain lakes.
The easiest way to take care of the lakes is to
involve the local communities. For many years,
BBMP and BDA tried to take care of the lakes themselves, and failed.
Many were encroached, and contaminated by sewage. Then Ashwin
and others worked on Puttenahalli Lake, and showed how local
communities can do it much better. And now, even BBMP is following
this model, involving citizens in maintaining the lakes.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

5. Have you seen
Bangalore Traffic
Police work with
smart technology?
In India the private sector is doing very well, and our
companies, especially companies from Bangalore, are
world famous in the technology sector. But can we also use
technology to make Indian society better? And can we use
IT to make government work smarter?
6. Ashwin Mahesh realised that with
just a little training, a lot of work in
government can be done much more
smartly.
As an advisor to the Bangalore Traffic Police,
Ashwin helped build the first traffic management center in the
country. Here, sitting in one place, the police can see what traffic is
like in different parts of the city. And all of this can be seen on a map
on the wall – a complete picture of traffic, updated every minute. As
a result, BTP is the most digital traffic police in the country.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

7. Strengthening local businesses
Every local business would like residents in the area to
know about its products and services . Similarly, residents
in different neighborhoods would like to know the shops in
the area, and what they are selling. By bringing the two
together we can build strong local economies.
8. Ashwin Mahesh found that
mapping local shops increases ease of
doing business and is good for
customers.
As an advocate of local economic development,
Ashwin is in the process of mapping all the local businesses in
different wards in Bommanahalli and making this information
available to local residents both in print and online. This will promote
and enhance local business activity, benefiting both shop-owners and
their customers.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

9. A city for people, not just cars!
Our streets are not safe for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Sidewalks & bike lanes are poor or do not exist, roads are
hard to cross, and intersections are chaotic. If we improve
the design, the city will be much safer. But for this we first
need leaders who understand the importance of design.
10. Ashwin Mahesh knows how to
make streets safer for pedestrians
and . and bicyclists.
As a member of the BBMP Technical Advisory
Committee, Ashwin has been working to improve the design of city
streets. Vittal Mallya Road, the first road built to these new design
standards, has excellent sidewalks, superb lighting and a strong
road surface. Local businesses maintain it. Ashwin also initiated the
Namma Cycle program at IISc, for bicycle sharing in the campus.
Students, faculty, staff and visitors can travel within the campus in
an environmentally friendly way.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

11. You hate corruption. So should your MLA
In recent years, people across India have risen up to
demand an end to corruption. But it will take more than
protests to end corruption. It will take political leadership.
We need to elect leaders who are determined to end
corruption.
12. Ashwin Mahesh has been a leader
in the fight to end corruption
Karnataka was once one of the best-governed
states in India, and we need to restore that pride
once again. Ashwin was one of the founders of Corruption Saaku, and
was with the India Against Corruption campaign from the very
beginning. Ashwin has been fighting corruption for more than a
dozen years. He was one of the designers of the famous Zero Rupee
Note, which anti corruption campaigners use throughout India as a
symbol of their fight for clean governance.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

13. Dumping SAAKU!
All over the country, garbage from the cities is sent to
villages. This is morally wrong, and also a sign of bad
governance. Nor is it necessary. If we are responsible, we
can be efficient in managing waste in homes and offices,
and vastly reduce the quantities sent to landfills.
14. Ashwin Mahesh is the man who
pushed for the segregation of waste
Ashwin proposed the Dumping Saaku legislation,
which bans cities from dumping waste outside their
boundaries. He worked with the BBMP to create a new framework for
Waste Management, by which dry and wet waste is segregated at
source, and sent for processing to local waste management facilities.
Ashwin also led a protest walk from Mandur to Bangalore, to demand
that the BBMP stop sending its waste to landfills.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

15. Every family needs a proper place to live
Bangalore needs 10,000 low cost houses to be built every
year. But even the existing EWS lands are being converted
to commercial use. Do you know Ashwin demanded the
Karnataka govt. should stop this and fund construction of
sufficient houses for the poor?
16. Ashwin Mahesh opposed the
conversion of Ejipura EWS lands into
a mall
Ashwin wrote to the Chief Minister and demanded
that at least 300 crores should be allotted each
year for low income housing in the city. As a result of this intervention,
the State government has given BBMP 300 crores this year for
constructing houses for the poor - 50 in each ward. If we consistently
keep up this level of funding for EWS homes, we can avoid large-scale
homelessness.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.

17. Using IT for better Governance
Bangalore enjoys the honour of being the global IT hub.
Using this strength, can we build systems that enhance
Bangalore’s governance challenges? Can IT be used for
public participation in local governance? For improving
health outcomes?
18. Ashwin Mahesh has led the way in
creating IT tools for governance and
civic action
Ashwin built the Bangalore Governance
Observatory (www.bcity.in), a platform for citizens to report their
concerns on day to day governance. This is primarily a crowd sourcing
tool that helps to push for better governance. He also created a
platform (www.vaccidate.in) that helps the parents of the newly born
children to get timely alerts for precise vaccination dates.
Let us vote to make Ashwin our MLA. Let us vote for
good ideas that can improve our lives.
