New Delhi, Dec 2 () Biocon Chairperson and Managing Director Kiran Mazumdar Shaw on Monday said India Inc is "neither anti-national nor anti-government", continuing her support for veteran industrialist Rahul Bajaj who stated that India Inc was afraid of criticising the Narendra Modi government.
 Shaw, who had earlier said the government treated India Inc as "pariahs" and doesn't want to hear any criticism of the economy, was responding to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharman remarks that spreading one's own impression "can hurt national interest" in relation to the statement made by Bajaj on Saturday.
 "Madam we are neither anti national nor anti government. We want you to succeed big time as fastest growing economy n rise to the top of the global league of economies. I am a proud apolitical National n only want the Govt to promote good policies including at State level," Shaw tweeted.
 She was replying to a tweet by Sitharaman who shared a video of The Economic Times' ET Awards event in Mumbai on Saturday where Bajaj, chairman of Bajaj Group, had told Sitharaman, Home Minister Amit Shah and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on dais that people were afraid of criticising the BJP government's policies and added that no one in the business community would speak about this issue.
 In the tweet, Sitharaman said, "Home Minister @AmitShah answers on how issues raised by Shri. Rahul Bajaj were addressed. Questions/criticisms are heard and answered/addressed. Always a better way to seek an answer than spreading one's own impressions which, on gaining traction, can hurt national interest."
 Supporting Bajaj, Shaw had earlier said, "Hope the govt reaches out to India Inc for working out solutions to revive consumption n growth. So far we are all pariahs n govt does not want to hear any criticism of our economy." RKL MKJ

India Inc neither anti-national nor anti-government: Kiran Mazumdar Shaw

New Delhi, Apr 10 () The government on Friday said that there is enough stock of hydroxychloroquine in the country and it is taking all steps to ensure that there is no shortage of the drug in the domestic market. India is the biggest manufacturer of the anti-malarial drug that is being touted as 'game changer' in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. "There is enough stock of hydroxychloroquine in the country and we are tracking its demand, availability and production on a daily basis," National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) Chairman Shubhra Singh told . India is the world's largest manufacturer of the drug, which is used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, malaria and lupus, she added. "Ensuring the availability of the drug in the country is our first priority. Only after meeting the demand here, the exports are being done," Singh said. She, however, cautioned that the medicine should only be taken on the advice of doctors. India manufactures 70 per cent of the world's supply of hydroxychloroquine. Companies like IPCA and Zydus Cadila are the major manufacturers of hydroxychloroquine in the country. The Indian pharmaceutical industry earlier this week said there is enough stock of hydroxychloroquine in the country and drug firms are ready to ramp up the production to meet domestic as well as export requirements. India currently has an annual installed capacity of around 40 tonnes of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) of hydroxychloroquine. With this capacity, it can make around 200 million tablets of 200 mg, which can be ramped up, the Indian Drug Manufacturers' Association (IDMA) had said. The production capacity in the country is sufficient to meet the current demand. If the need arises, the companies are committed to ramp up production, the Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance had earlier told . India on Tuesday had decided to partially lift the ban on the export of anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine in sync with its global commitment to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. AKT HRS

Government of India’s decision to ban <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/r-india-withdraws-order-to-block-internet-pornography-sites-2015-8?IR=T">porn</a> across the country has ranged from angry reactions to satirical connotations of the people. Days after the govt had decided to block all porn sites in India it suddenly did a backtrack and decided to blanket the sites that contain child pornography. 
 
People from all quarters have heavily criticized govt’s odd decision to ban<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Dear-Government-heres-what-you-should-ban-instead-of-porn-websites/articleshow/48362729.cms"> explicit contents online</a> without any notifications adding that the apex court has suggested that govt is no authority to interfere into people’s privacy inside house. 
 
However, critics have felt that the government could have regulated access to pornography on the internet by some other means, which would have been effective in a better way. In the UK, all online porn is banned by default, although users can ask their Internet service providers to unblock such websites. 
 
"The best model is that of the UK, wherein all ISPs filter all pornographic content by default but allow users who want to access porn to opt in for the service," Mrityunjay Tiwari, managing director, India, at web content filtering company Netsweeper has told The Economic Times. "This means the people who are offended by porn are able to get 'safe' or 'clean internet' whereas the people who want to access porn can continue to do so by informing their ISPs." 
 
The US considers it a federal crime to possess, distribute or produce child pornography. However, it protects pornography as free speech under the Constitution. 
 
A <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/topic/Porn">total ban on porn</a>, as implemented in China, where the internet is heavily regulated and monitored by the government, is cited as an example of this ineffectiveness. 
 
"In China, they have dedicated teams to ensure the ban on porn. There is an automated process supported by a manual process. Even the Chinese block can be circumvented - it is not foolproof," Prasanth Sugathan, counsel for the Software Freedom Law Centre (SFLC) told The Economic Times. 
 
In the Middle East, Iran considers pornography illegal but has not been able to check its spread through the Internet. Saudi Arabia bans all forms of porn due to religious reasons. Pakistan prohibits all types of porn content, including a list of websites that is updated continuously. Most nations support banning child pornography.

New Delhi, Jan 11 () <keyword id="532833" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Union-steel-minister">Union Steel Minister</keyword> <keyword id="197418" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dharmendra-Pradhan">Dharmendra Pradhan</keyword> on Saturday launched 'Mission Purvodaya' which aims at accelerated development of eastern India through integrated steel hub. The eastern belt has the potential to add more than 75 per cent of the country's incremental steel capacity envisioned by the National Steel Policy, he said adding it is expected that out of the 300 million tonne capacity by 2030-31, over 200 million tonne can come from this region alone. The mission will drive India's march towards USD 5 trillion economy set by the government, the minister said at a launch event in Kolkata, according to an official statement.
 Stating that eastern India is a land of infinite opportunities, Pradhan said, "Despite being endowed with natural resources, this region has lagged behind in socio-economic development as compared to some other parts of the country."
 With the Mission Purvodaya in the steel sector, he said a new chapter will script the rise of eastern India by accelerated development of steel sector through an integrated steel hub.
 Under the mission, the government said it will enhance capacity through easing the setup of greenfield steel plants, develop steel clusters near integrated steel plants as well as demand centres.
 Besides, the government aims to transform logistics and utilities infrastructure which would change the socio-economic landscape in the eastern India The steps under mission also include growth of steel industry along with employment opportunities across the entire value chain.
 Eastern India, Pradhan said is a focus area for the government and about half of aspirational districts are in this region which are becoming hotspots of socio-economic development.
 He also mentioned that eastern states of India (Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal) and Northern part of Andhra Pradesh collectively hold 80 per cent of the country's iron ore, 100 per cent of coking coal and significant portion of chromite, bauxite and dolomite reserves.
 Besides, major ports like Paradip, Haldia, Vizag and Kolkata which are present in this region have more than 30 per cent of India's major port capacity.
 Since eastern India holds a special focus, the government has taken several measures including a Rs 102 lakh crore worth of National Infrastructure Pipeline, the statement added. ABI MKJ
