SONY SAB TV: “I Am Finally Able to Grow My Hair”: Krishna Bharadwaj
Krishna Bharadwaj, who plays Rama in Sony SAB's show Tenali Rama, is glad he has got time to grow his hair back now that he isn't shooting often. Krishna said that he is here in Mumbai and did not go back to his home in Jharkhand as he wanted to take utmost precautions and keep others safe. Here, he ha s got time to catch up on his sleep that he has lost in these 3 years. These days, he has been eating, sleeping and binge-watching on some world cinema as he is a big fan of world cinema.He also cooked his favourite, Gatte Ki Sabji recently. What he is liking the most is that he is finally able to grow his hair now. He has always had to shave his head, every day, for the role of Rama in Tenali Rama and now that we are not shooting for a while, he is able to grow his hair back.
Krishna Bharadwaj also said that while it is a very critical time for everyone, he is trying to help the daily wage workers across the country. He is associated with an organization where we are collecting groceries and money from people who are willing to help and are delivering these essential items to people in the slum areas, staying under the government guidelines and taking every safety measure seriously.
Talking about how he is keeping himself positive, Krishna said that he is glad he has got some time to explore his spiritual side again as he has been meditating a lot, which he couldn't do earlier due to hectic shoot schedules. This helps stay calm and keeps the mind healthy. If we look at the positive side of this situation, then he would say Mother Nature has got time to heal itself. So, his message to everyone is that let's take this time to work upon ourselves, do everything that we wanted to do all these years and most importantly, spend time with our family because that is what matters the most.
CII Shares Exit Strategy for Chandigarh from Lockdown 2.0 with Administration
Talking about the proposed exit strategy, Dr S P S Grewal, Chairman, CII Chandigarh UT Council & CEO, Grewal Eye Institute said that Chandigarh should not be looked into as standalone UT, but along with its neighbouring cities of Mohali and Panchkula. Thus, the tricity of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula should be considered as one entity, while taking any decision on way forward. This should be noted that if Chandigarh remains closed and Mohali and Panchkula are opened, it will result in making trade and industry uncompetitive and unviable in UT. At the same time, it may be noted people from the Tricity commutes daily either to city or out of city to do business or to earn livelihood. In this backdrop, it is very critical to devise common strategy for Chandigarh along with the bordering districts. In this regard, CII has suggested formation of Coordination Committee- comprising of DCs of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula to plan, review and address implementation challenges.
On the issue of entire UT been declared as Red Zone & Containment Zone, Dr Grewal said that livelihood of lot of citizens are at stake, including the vulnerable and weaker section of the society. With complete lockdown, many of the businesses are staring at massive losses. The MSMEs are facing the major burnt, and if lockdown continues for few more weeks, the risk of their businesses getting wiped off increases significantly. Therefore, CII has suggested for distinction between Red Zone and Containment Zones within the UT. In Chandigarh, specific Containment Zones should be identified and barricaded, the rest of the areas in the UT should be allowed for to open in a calibrated and staggered way. The industrial operation in the permitted list with proper health & hygiene protocols and adhering to social distancing norms may be allowed in phased wise manner.
In its suggestion submitted to Chandigarh Administration for supporting trade & industry, CII had emphasized that companies are facing the double whammy of almost zero revenue and fulfilling the social obligations viz. CSR and payment of salaries & wages, hence, supporting the trade and industry is the need of the hour.
Dr Grewal said that, CII has requested the UT to consider complete waiver of the fixed electricity charges for industrial units during the period of lockdown on the lines of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Amongst other suggestions shared, CII has requested for waiver of Property Tax for 6 months; extending the current excise year by a month from the day complete lock down is lifted, whichever is later; temporary waiver of Excise, License fees, VAT on liquor and all other State Taxes applicable on all services provided by Hotels & Restaurants.
Dr Grewal complimented the phenomenal work being done by the Chandigarh Administration to deal with COVID 19. CII and its member companies are supporting the needy people across the country by way of providing packed foods, dry ration kits etc. We are also providing masks, sanitizers, PPEs to frontline workers across the country.

Bank of Baroda Conducts Unique ‘Mega MSME Outreach Programme’
The Mega MSME Outreach Programme' is a unique, pro-active initiative by Bank of Baroda and probably a first in the industry, considering the scale of outreach across India. An important objective of the webinar was to educate MSME borrowers about various facilities/options made available by the Bank for their benefit. The Bank's Executives also suggested a road-map with suitable advice and guidance as to how they may utilize these facilities for surmounting the difficulties. Through a Chat Box facility, the participating borrowers were able to raise doubts/queries and bank received approximately 22,000 queries through the Chat Box. Further, the MSME borrowers were made aware of the business opportunities that are likely to arise in certain segments in the post COVID-19 scenario.i
Vkramaditya Singh Khichi, Executive Director, who hosted the webinar from his desk said that the MSME sector, which is the backbone of the economy and country's biggest employer, has been severely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown. MSMEs have always been an area of priority for Bank of Baroda, hence the need was felt to have a direct communication with the MSME borrowers to assure them about our continued support in terms of additional facilities in these testing times. As a face-to-face interaction was ruled out, this Mega MSME Outreach Programme was conceived wherein we connected online with almost 49,000 customers apart from bank officials from Metro, Urban, Semi-Urban and Rural centres across the country.
The Department of Financial Services, MoF, GOI is very keen to ensure that the MSME industry remains in good health, as it is one of the growth engines of our economy. This outreach programme was part of our Bank's continuous and committed efforts to contribute to the national cause. We hope to fructify this initiative with focused and result-oriented measures including liquidity management through special COVID Emergency Credit Line, moratorium on loan instalment/ interest payment, re-assessment of limits, restructuring of loans etc. that would enable our MSME borrowers not only to mitigate the damage caused by COVID-19, but also to regain prosperity.

CEOs from CII Northern Region anticipate Government support towards payment of wages to industries impacted by the lockdown
Many experts are of the opinion that lockdown has greatly helped in containing the spread of the infection. Post the 3rd of May, more than four-fifths of the respondents were of the view that the Government of India should consider staggered opening of the economy, to put the economy back on growth track and at the same time control spread of the virus. When asked to rank pressing challenges faced by India Inc, a majority (58 per cent) of the respondents have cited liquidity crunch as their biggest concern, followed by supply chain bottlenecks and labour shortage.
Substantiating the fragile economic recovery, majority of the respondents expects significant decrease in their companies topline and bottom-line during the year, 2020 – 21. On the labour market scenario, the majority of the respondents believe that employment opportunities may contract by more than 10 per cent post lockdown, highlighting tough times ahead.
The most important expectation India Inc has from the Government is support in the payment of wages to industries impacted by the lockdown, with 54 per cent of respondents expecting government support. This was followed by (32 per cent) waiver of fixed utility charges & lower interest rate as other expectations from the government. For the MSMEs, India Inc (45 per cent) feels that cost & availability of funds is the biggest impediment to their growth during COVID times, followed by market disruption (32 per cent) and the issue of delayed payments (23 per cent).
Commenting on the Snap Poll, Nikhil Sawhney, Chairman, CII Northern Region said that the results of this poll indicate the mood and sentiments of India Inc. The pandemic along with resultant lockdown has severely impacted the economy and livelihood of millions. The SME sector, which provides significant amount of employment opportunities, is greatly impacted by this lockdown. Government of India along with the Reserve Bank of India has announced some measures to alleviate the pain of the industry. However, we at CII believe that Indian industry requires massive stimulus from the government as has been done in other developed countries to put the economy back on growth track.
He added that at the same time, we at the CII compliment the critical role being played by the Central Government as well as each of State Governments as 'Team India' to take on the challenge posed by COVID-19 Pandemic, expressed Nikhil Sawhney. Going ahead, all will have to work in tandem to address the issues faced by the industries and offer required assistance to trade and industry to put the economy back on track.
