Information related to Osho Meditation & Celebration:

According to Sadguru Osho, meeting of East & West namely, integration of Spiritualism and Wordly Activties is necessary. Like Gautam Buddha represents wisdom of the soul, peace, love and karuna, Greek Zorba represents materialism and luxury. Sadguru Osho believes on balancing of knowledge & science, meeting of East & West. He believes in internal peace, love, physical success, convenience as a result of convergence of worldly success and health. In short, he calls this combination ‘Zorba The Buddha’.
Combination of meditation and science is necessary. External strength and internal peace is necessary to save this world from disaster. Turbulent persons becoming powerful are as dangerous as peaceful persons becoming weak.Ends/NHM

“वी मेड इन इंडिया – 2024” चा मागील दशकात भारताचा उद्योजकता वृद्धी आणि आर्थिक प्रगती यावर लक्ष केंद्रित करण्यावर भर

मुंबई, 20 एप्रिल, 2024 (NHM): नियमांमध्ये सुलभता आणणे तसेच व्यवसाय सुगमतेवर लक्ष केंद्रित केल्याने उद्योजकतेला चालना देण्यासाठी अनुकूल वातावरण निर्माण झाले आहे. ज्याचा लाभ म्हणजे जागतिक व्यवसायात भारताच्या क्रमवारीत लक्षणीय सुधारणा झालेली दिसते. नीती आयोगाचे माजी मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी आणि भारताच्या प्रतिष्ठित जी-20 'शेरपा' अमिताभ कांत यांनी गुरुवारी, 18 एप्रिल 2004 रोजी जेडब्ल्यू मॅरियट मुंबई सहार येथे 'वी मेड इन इंडिया-2024' मालिकेच्या पहिल्या अध्यायात आपल्या मुख्य भाषणात सांगितले. इंटरनेट अँड मोबाइल असोसिएशन ऑफ इंडिया (IAMAI)च्या सहकार्याने लिक्विड एशिया आणि डेमोस्टार यांनी हा कार्यक्रम आयोजित केला होता. 

"आधारशी जोडण्यात आलेल्या बँक खात्यांसारख्या उपक्रमांमुळे अभूतपूर्व प्रमाणात जलद आणि सुरक्षित व्यवहार सुलभ झाल्याने भारतभर पसरलेल्या डिजिटल क्रांतीमुळे मोठे बदल झाले आहेत. भारतात 50 कोटी बँक खाती आधार आणि मोबाईल क्रमांकांशी जोडली गेली, ज्यामुळे जलद भरणा शक्य झाला. आज, 135 अब्ज व्यवहार दरवर्षी होतात. जवळपास 46% रिअल-टाइम असतात. चीनला मागे टाकत, स्वयंचलित डेबिट आणि क्रेडिटमध्ये भारत आघाडीवर आहे, ज्याने वॉलेटची गरज नसताना व्यवहार सुव्यवस्थित केले आहेत. हा बदल तंत्रज्ञानातील एक उल्लेखनीय झेप दर्शवितो, प्रत्येक व्यक्तीला डिजिटल ओळखीसह सक्षम बनवतो आणि अखंड आर्थिक संवाद सुलभ करतो,” अशी माहिती श्री. अमिताभ कांत यांनी दिली.

या कार्यक्रमाचे मुख्य वक्ते असलेले कांत यांनी स्टार्ट-अप्स आणि अॅप्सच्या प्रवेशाबाबतही भाष्य केले. "आर्थिक समावेशन, शेअर बाजारातील प्रवेश आणि विमा प्रवेशासाठी तंत्रज्ञानाचा लाभ घेणाऱ्या स्टार्टअप्सचा प्रसार भारताच्या आर्थिक परिदृश्याला, विशेषतः ग्रामीण भागात, नवीन आकार देत आहे. झिरोदा आणि अपस्टॉक सारख्या अॅप्सद्वारे टियर 1 आणि 2 शहरांमधील स्टॉक ट्रेडिंग (समभाग व्यापार)चे लोकशाहीकरण केले जाते. ग्रामीण भारत मोबाइल शेअर बाजाराच्या व्यवहारांद्वारे संपत्ती निर्मिती स्वीकारतो. ज्यांनी श्रेणी 2 आणि 3 शहरांमध्ये विमा प्रवेशामध्ये क्रांती घडवून आणली असेही काही अॅप्स आहेत. ज्यामुळे प्रक्रियेचा वेळ केवळ 1 मिनिटापर्यंत कमी झाला आहे. मोबाईल-आधारित व्यवहार, कागदोपत्री काम आणि आयडेंटीटी इस्टॅबलिशमेंट कॉस्ट कमी करणे आणि आर्थिक व्यवहारांमध्ये व्यापक सुलभता तसेच किफायतशीरपणा वाढवणे यामुळे भारताचा व्यवहार खर्च $ 50 अमेरिकन डॉलर्सवरून एक डॉलरपेक्षा कमी झाला", असे ते म्हणाले. 

कांत यांनी या कार्यक्रमाला उपस्थित असलेल्या अनेक संस्थापक आणि सह-संस्थापकांसोबत स्वतंत्र बैठकही घेतली. भारतीय स्टार्ट-अप्ससाठी समस्या सोडवण्याची नेहमीची भूमिका बजावत, त्यांनी व्यवसाय सुलभता वाढवण्याशी संबंधित आव्हानांची दखल घेतली आणि उद्योगपतींनी उपस्थित केलेल्या समस्यांचे कालबद्ध पद्धतीने निराकरण करण्याचे आश्वासन दिले. 

भारताने तिच्या 'मेक इन इंडिया, मेक फॉर वर्ल्ड' मोहिमेची सुरुवात केली असून परिणाम आधीच दिसू लागले आहेत. सन 2022-23च्या निर्यात आकडेवारीनुसार, भारतीय निर्यात $762 अब्ज अमेरिकन डॉलर्स इतकी होती. यापैकी $453 अब्ज अमेरिकी डॉलर्स उत्पादित वस्तूंमधून आले. महत्त्वाकांक्षी उद्योजक आणि उद्योगांना ज्ञानाची देवाणघेवाण करण्यासाठी, गंभीर विचारांना प्रेरणा देण्यासाठी आणि क्षमतेची दारं उघडण्यासाठी एक व्यासपीठ तयार करून, महान भारतीय डीएनएची व्याख्या करणाऱ्या लवचिकता आणि नवनिर्मितीच्या भावनेचा वापर करणे हे 'वी मेड इन इंडिया-2024' चे उद्दिष्ट आहे. 

'वी मेड इन इंडिया' अखेर भारताच्या नव्या युगाचे विजेतेपद पटकावत, एक प्रगतीशील, बहुआयमी शहर बौद्धिक संपदा म्हणून उदयास येईल. 

"भारताची ग्राहक-चालित अर्थव्यवस्था त्याला जगातील एकमेव मंदी-प्रतिरोधक देश बनवते. 2030 पर्यंत $7 ट्रिलियन डॉलर्सची अर्थव्यवस्था होण्याचा देशाचा अंदाज आर्थिक वाढीचे शक्तीस्थान म्हणून त्याची क्षमता अधोरेखित करतो. अॅपलच्या जागतिक विक्रीतील एक तृतीयांश उत्पादने फॉक्सकॉनच्या चेन्नई कारखान्यात तयार केली जातात. फॉक्सवॅगन जगभरात सुमारे 2 दशलक्ष कार निर्यात करते. ओपन-सोर्स डेटाबेसेससाठी ओरॅकल भारतात 80,000 लोकांना रोजगार देते. आता भारत ही जागतिक खेळाडूंसाठी बाजारपेठ आहे. भारत सेमीकंडक्टर उत्पादनात प्रगती करत आहे, ज्यामुळे भविष्यातील तांत्रिक परिदृश्याला आकार मिळतो. जर तुमच्याकडे भारतीय धोरण नसेल तर तुमच्याकडे धोरण नाही असे सांगून जेपी मॉर्गन भारतीय बाजारपेठेच्या धोरणाच्या गरजेवर भर देतात. एका चिप बनवणाऱ्या कंपनीने सांगितले की, त्यांची 30% उत्पादने भारतीय बाजारपेठेची पूर्तता करतात. या माहितीचा लाभ घेत, भारतात तयार केलेली साधने उद्योगांमध्ये क्रांती घडवून आणण्यासाठी सज्ज आहेत, ज्यामुळे एक धोरणात्मक व्यवसाय गंतव्यस्थान म्हणून भारताची क्षमता प्रतिबिंबित होते", असे हिताची सिस्टीम्स, इंडियाचे मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी आणि संचालक अनुज गुप्ता म्हणाले. 

शिवाय, कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता (एआय) आणि डेटा विश्लेषणामध्ये भारताचे महत्त्व जागतिक स्तरावर वाढत्या प्रमाणात ओळखले जात आहे. प्रचंड प्रमाणात डेटा आणि वाढत्या प्रतिभेच्या साठ्यासह, भारत कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्तेच्या भविष्याला आकार देण्यात आणि या क्षेत्रातील नवकल्पनांना चालना देण्यात महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका बजावण्यास तयार आहे", असे ते म्हणाले.

ड्रीम स्पोर्ट्स (ड्रीम 11) चे मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी आणि सह-संस्थापक आणि IAMAI चे अध्यक्ष हर्ष जैन यांनी भारताच्या व्यवसाय क्षेत्रात होत असलेल्या परिवर्तनावर भाष्य केले. "नेतृत्व आणि व्यावसायिक दृष्टिकोनांमधील जुन्या-शालेय आणि नवीन-शालेय तत्त्वज्ञानाचे मिश्रण आकर्षक आहे, जे परिस्थितीशी जुळवून घेण्याची आणि नाविन्यपूर्ण करण्याची भारताची क्षमता दर्शवते. भारताच्या वाढत्या अर्थव्यवस्थेतील विपुल संधींमुळे अनेकजण आता मायदेशी परतण्याचा विचार करत असताना, परदेशात शिक्षण घेतलेल्या भारतीयांच्या बदलत्या मनोवृत्तीकडे लक्ष देणे मनोरंजक आहे. ब्रेन ड्रेनपासून ब्रेन गेन परिस्थितीकडे होणारे बदल भारताच्या भविष्यातील संभाव्यतेबद्दल बरेच काही सांगतात. नवकल्पना आणि विकासाला चालना देण्यासाठी उद्यम भांडवलापासून ते खाजगी समभागापर्यंत स्टार्ट-अप्सना आधार देणारी परिसंस्था महत्त्वपूर्ण आहे. इतर स्टार्ट-अप्समध्ये कंपन्यांच्या वाढत्या गुंतवणुकीमुळे, भारताची उद्योजकता भावना नवोन्मेष आणि समृद्धीचे स्वयंपूर्ण चक्र तयार करत असल्याचे दिसते", असे ते म्हणाले.

डिजिबॉक्सचे सीईओ आणि संस्थापक अर्णब मित्रा यांनी डिजिटल सुरक्षेचे महत्त्व अधोरेखित केले. "आम्ही डेटा स्टोरेजसाठी एक सर्वसमावेशक मोबाइल अॅप्लिकेशन विकसित केले आहे. ज्यामुळे अनेक अॅप्स आणि प्लॅटफॉर्मची गरज दूर झाली आहे. डेटा सार्वभौमत्वावर लक्ष केंद्रित करून, सर्व माहिती देशातच राहते. आमचे समाधान विविध उपकरणे आणि भागीदारांसह समाकलित होते, जे भारतीय प्रेक्षकांसाठी परवडणारे सॉफ्टवेअर प्रदान करते. जागतिक सर्वोत्तम पद्धतींचा समावेश करून, जगभरातील भारतीयांमध्ये संपर्क वाढवून, डिजिटल साठवण सुलभ करण्याचे आमचे उद्दिष्ट आहे. हे नाविन्यपूर्ण तंत्रज्ञान डेटा व्यवस्थापनाचे एकत्रीकरण करते, देशभरातील वापरकर्त्यांसाठी सुरक्षा आणि सुलभतेला प्राधान्य देताना अखंड प्रवेश आणि सामायिकरण सुलभ करते", असे ते म्हणाले.

Along with showcasing an extensive range of gold jewellery collections that reflect the rich heritage and craftsmanship of India's jewellery industry, a notable addition to this year's exhibition is the India Gem & Jewellery Machinery Expo (IGJME), showcasing the latest innovations and technologies in machinery from both national and international realms.

Dr. Selvakumar, IAS, Principal Secretary, Industries and Commerce, Govt. of Karnataka, said, “Karnataka’s gem & jewellery industry sets new benchmarks in entrepreneurship, excellence and innovation through technology. Karnataka’s skilled craftsmen are renowned for creating world famous for exquisite and intricate jewellery such as temple jewellery, antique jewellery and Nakash jewellery among others. IIJS Tritiya is a testament to India’s positioning as a hub for designer jewellery powered by smart technology. IIJS Tritiya reconfirms the industry’s commitment, contribution and collaborative efforts to increase gem & jewellery exports from Karnataka and south India.”

Mr. Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC said, "We are a USD 40 billion export industry today, but the scope and potential for further growth is immense, with the ever-increasing demand in the global gem and jewellery market. GJEPC is working closely with Government to secure favorable polices in the upcoming trade pacts for our sector including FTAs with GCC, Canada, UK and EU. Additionally, GJEPC has successfully pursued the government to introduce measures to facilitate ease of doing business in the e-commerce for retail exports of jewellery from the country, enabling Indian sellers to seamlessly deliver their products to global buyers.”

The show has not only got bigger, but it's got smarter – similar to Bangalore’s reputation as a smart city. We look forward to a very smart industry in the coming decade. I think $70 billion is a very doable target and with GJEPC being there at the helm, I think we could easily achieve that much earlier than 2030.”

Kirit Bhansali, Vice Chairman, GJEPC said, “The Council is focused on empowering MSMEs through initiatives like Common Facility Centres, Mega CFCs, Jewellery Park in Mumbai, Gem Bourse in Jaipur alongside digital platforms for enhanced marketing and sales.
