A great Ludhianvi
ALL individuals are
different from each other. Among the qualitatively top ones, some are
unique. If worth is inherent, one’s work is its manifestation. The
individuality of a person can be partly known by the kind of
contribution he or she makes to family, society, nation and the
humankind. One such individual is amidst us, right here in Ludhiana.
‘Subsidies
will not help’

future. It is not easy to compete with the developed countries in
providing subsidies to the agriculture sector as the total subsidies of
the developed countries were even higher than the total Budget of the
Central Government, said Mr S.P. Shukla, former Indian Ambassador to
GATT in Geneva.
‘Punctuality
is not a virtue’
THE
boss wants his staff to be present at certain time. They are all
professionals, the professionalism is sadly lacking. The boss, says
ruefully: “Everyday I have to call them from their homes which is
quite tiresome. They are all grown up, so I feel odd scolding them, but
work suffers. I wish everybody realises his responsibility. We pay least
attention to punctuality which was considered a virtue in earlier
days”.
