We all know, the transformer works on the principle of
Mutual Induction, which is defined as- two adjacent coils, electrically
isolated and magnetically coupled, induce Electro-Motive Force (EMF) in each
other with the changes in their currents. Similarly, for an organization, to
bring in the change in the culture of the organization by redefining the core
values, vision, mission etc., the organization should be like a transformer
with the induction of mutual respect among the employees. The change brought in
one employee inspires the change in the colleagues and the process goes on if
all the employees are engaged with trust (magnetically coupled). The magnetic
linkage and electrical isolation is the key in the transformer functioning
which is possible only due to the mutual induction. In the organizational
context, though there is a gap among the employees due to diversity of several
forms, they can be well linked through the mutual respect. Once such a mutual
respect is established, the trust becomes the core of the transformer to
facilitate the mutual induction. Similar to self-induced EMF, self respect and
trust also are equally important. Moreover, the EMF induced in the coils is
directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkages. In the
organizations, it is the motivation developed due to the rate of changes/challenges
faced by the co-employees. However, as per Lenz's law, the induced EMF will
oppose the very cause of its production. This can be attributed to the
resistance to change in the organizations. Ultimately, the mutual respect &
trust becomes the basic principle for all the organizations to become "the
real Transformers in the business scenario".

Pollution-Natural Environment//Corruption-Total Environment
Pollution spoils only the natural environment whereas the corruption spoils the entire environment. It spreads like cancer to damage all the systems in place. To combat the corruption, values, morals & ethics are to be reinforced at all levels though they are primarily implanted at school & family levels. Self vigilance, if practiced properly, boosts an individual to make the the systems healthy & strong without the corruption. If corruption is the virus in the system, self-vigilance backed up with values, morals & ethics will be the perfect anti-virus.
The Government of India celebrates Vigilance Awareness Week every year in Oct/Nov months to spread the dream of corruption-free India. The theme for 2016 is " Public Participation in Promoting Integrity & Eradicating Corruption" as the government alone cannot achieve the goal without the effective participation from the people at large.
Here are some of the thoughts I would like to share on the above theme...

CSR3 - Corporate Social Responsibility, Respectability and Reciprocity
As the companies take the inputs from the society for running
their business operations, it becomes their moral responsibility to
give something in return to the society. Such a responsibility is
known as Corporate Social Responsibility. But some companies do
not take up this responsibility voluntarily. Thus, the Government of India has come up with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 which
mandates the companies operating & have set ups in India with
annual turnover greater than or equal to Rs 1000 Crores or net
worth greater than or equal to Rs 500Crores or net profit greater
than or equal to Rs 5Crores need to spend at least 2% of their
average PAT of three previous financial years.
Companies need to not only plan & allocate sufficient budget for
CSR, but also ensure the effectiveness of CSR implementation &
the social impact measurement through social audits. If the
companies implement the CSR policies and report with true spirit,
it will be a huge help for inclusive growth of people, planet &
profit- the triple bottom line of the sustainability. If the CSR of the
companies is effective in environment protection & management
initiatives with a collaborative & integrative approach with other
companies, NGOs and the MSMEs etc, India will become one of
the leading countries with sustained sustainability initiatives
setting new benchmarks for the rest of the world.

"Protect the Ozone Layer" to "Get Protected"
International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is
celebrated every year on 16th September to commemorate the the Montreal protocol of
1987 against the ozone layer depletion.
Ozone Layer is
the protective layer for the Earth which is there in Stratosphere and absorbs
the UV rays from the Sun. Ozone atom takes the energy from UV rays and breaks
into O2 and O atoms. These O atoms will react with O2 atoms
and form O3 again. It is a continuous process. As the energy is
being taken in these reactions, very less amount of harmful UV rays especially
UV-B rays reach the Earth, thereby protecting the living beings from several
diseases.
Ozone Layer Depletion is caused by CFC (Chloroflourocarbons), HCFC
(Hydrochloroflourocarbons), which are widely used in refrigerators and Air
conditioners. The Cholrine atom gets
separated from the CFC when exposed to UV rays on absorption of energy and it
combines with O3 to take away O and leaves O2. Thus, the
number of O3 atoms gets reduced, which lead to Ozone layer
depletion and passage of UV rays to the Earth with high concentration. Halon,
Methyl Bromide etc., are some of the other Ozone depleting substances. Methyl Bromide
is a pesticide used in agriculture for pest control. Some of the chemicals used
in sprays and paints can also damage the Ozone layer. Using the alternatives
and natural substances are suggested for protecting the Ozone layer from
depletion. While purchasing such products, it is our prime responsibility to check that they will not harm the Ozone layer protection.
Please go through the following links for further
information:-

Thus, it is clear that " Not protecting the Ozone Layer is like not protecting ourselves"

हिन्दी-भारत माँ की बिन्दी / Hindi-India
India
is a country with rich cultural diversity. It has several regional languages. Hindi,
being the 2nd most spoken language in the world & widely spoken
in India, is the official language of the Government of India. The script is
Devanagari. The ancient language Sanskrit is written in this script. Hindi
Divas is celebrated on 14th September every year. Hindi with
Devanagari script was declared as official language by the Government in 1949
on the same day, which was further ratified under Article 343 of constitution of
India in 1950. Though the Britishers left India in 1947, still English is being
continued in all official communication along with Hindi in bilingual mode.
To
promote Hindi as the official language, Hindi Pakhwada (Hindi Fortnight)
is being celebrated every year in India in all the central government offices
and PSUs.

A Friend in Deed is the Friend in Need now a days...
We all know the proverb " A Friend in Need is the Friend in Deed". The different interpretations are beautifully explained in the website http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/a-friend-in-need.html
My interpretation is as follows---
It is the old proverb which may not fit into the friendships we have in the social networking arena of the modern world.Finding a true friend indeed is the need of the hour now with the advent of making huge number of friends throughout the globe.If we see the fb account now a days, it has become a friend book account in which we add daily so many pages. On the contrary, getting onto the facebook & other networking sites has also been treated as an addiction & a source of stress according to many research results. We also can see so many fraud cases of people with false identities taking undue advantage of the friendship over these networking sites as most of the countries do not have stringent cyber laws enforced properly to prevent the cyber crimes. Moreover, we get many messages also that it is better to spend with the persons who are around you rather than ignoring them and making friends in the virtual world. Facebook also took precautionary steps to verify the identities of the suspicious people. It also asks the users to add the people, whom we really know personally. Let us use the networking sites for making the true friendship alive and prosper. The technology is in our hands. Let us use it for spreading goodness by making good friends indeed. Thus, the friends with good deeds are needed to be our good friends in the social networking sites...
So a true friend indeed is the friend in need now a days...
Today (1st Sunday of August) is celebrated as friendship day in most of the countries.

King's Habits
If the video is not opening here, please use the following link
Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGzXx0Zq7ms
When we go to the museums, we observe the smoking and drinking objects used by the Kings along with other ancient objects displayed. As these objects may reflect the King's habits, the children & the youth may think that the smoking & drinking are closely associated with the Kings. Moreover, the advertisements/ brand names of cigarettes & alcohol products are also closely linked to the KING word. If we apply Pavlov's theory of Classical Conditioning, it may so happen that the children or the youth may think that if the person has these habits of Smoking & Drinking then he is the "Real King". Moreover, the research shows that most of the smoking & drinking habits form in teenage.
Thus, as an ethical practice most of the advertisements of these products give a Warning saying Tobacco KILLS. The same type of warning may also be given in the museums near the smoking & drinking objects so that the children & youth visiting may not correlate these objects with the king's habits & try to imbibe.
Moreover, while educating the youth it is always necessary to provide information of wide variety of habits both good & bad with their effects so that they can be empowered to choose the right ones.
In the present scenario of life style diseases, walKING is the Real King's Habit, which people at all ages should follow & inspire others in your kingdom. Take a lead as a Real King & help others for good health...
Think for a while! Walk for a mile!!

‘Dynamic’ or ‘Diabetic’?
Environments
which are external or internal to the people, business, workplace, society & nature
etc., are changing dynamically to cause a dynamic change in the health of these
systems. This in turn causes a dynamic change in the health of our body &
mind also. Those who can produce a dynamic response to these changes can only
sustain with good health. Diabetes is
termed as a Life Style disease as it affects the people, who do not make the
changes in their life style to combat the life style changes happening due to
the environment. Self discipline &
control in food habits, walking, exercises, yoga & meditation etc do keep
the sugar levels under control. Let us be dynamic rather than diabetic. There
are many cases in which the people do not know that they are diabetic unless
they undergo the tests for some other reasons. Thus, it is always advisable to
check the sugar levels. Please go through my previous posts http://researchsubbu.blogspot.in/2015/05/whose-wealth-is-our-health.html,
http://researchsubbu.blogspot.in/2015/09/test-for-best.html.
Let us be dynamic in bringing awareness to
the diabetic that optimizing the following are the key in optimizing the sugar levels-
- Regular health check up
- Standard diet plan
- Medication & Meditation
- Exercises
- Confidence
Diabetes
is a life style disorder which demands for the disciplined life style. It is
not a big disease when controlled with good discipline. Thus, it can be
preventable. If it is neglected, it may become the root cause for several
chronic diseases and disorders.
Today
(7Th April, 2016) is the World Health Day meant for spreading health
awareness. The theme for this year by WHO (World Health Organization) is "Halt the rise: beat diabetes".

Pro-active Approach in Safety at Workplace
- Most of the accidents do take place due to lack of awareness and prediction. Of course, being aware is not sufficient, taking the preventive measures is the most important aspect to avoid the unwanted incidents. Thus, the awareness & the implementation, when go hand in hand will ensure safety at workplace.
- Safety is everyone's responsibility. Its the mutual responsibility shared between the organization (management) and the employees.
- If we look at the different definitions of safety at workplace, mostly it will be a preventive measure to avoid accidents/unwanted incidents/mis-happenings.Little research has been done on the positivity of safety. The perception towards safety should change in order to bring new benchmarks as far as work place safety is concerned.
- Safety should be considered as a pro-active measure rather than a preventive measure.Innovation in safety has to be encouraged through workshops , seminars, committees & councils etc.
- Safety should not be considered as a separate entity. It's an integral part of the inclusive growth strategy for good occupational health and environment. SAP-EHS module can be useful for such integration.
- Safety stewards should take leading role in spreading the information shared in the workshops, meetings etc., to all the employees by conducting training programs, knowledge sharing sessions.
- The professional circles, quality circles should also take up the safety issues as their projects and find out some improvement methodology to solve the safety related problems.
- Near miss incidents/best practices/ safety slogans/essays & write-ups related to safety are to be shared in intranet & e-mails.Use of social media can also be explored.
- The participation rate in safety awareness competitions has to be increased by giving the employees proper motivation.Encouraging the employees to enhance the safety through their innovative thoughts is the key for the pro-active approach on safety.
- Sharing the minutes of safety council meetings with all the employees will definitely enhance their awareness & increase the vigilance on proper implementation & follow up.
- With the increased understanding of safety at workplace & paradigm shift in the perception towards safety from preventive to pro-active, any organization can safely reach its targets and set up new benchmarks in overall growth.

Bird’s Eye View
In
Mahabharata, the famous epic in India, Drona, the teacher (guru) asks all his
students (Pandavas & Kauravas) one by one to aim at a bird and say what
they see & finally shoot an arrow on his instruction. Yudhisthira, the
eldest, says he sees the tree, the sky, the guru and the bird also. Someone (Bheem)
says he sees the tree, the fruits & the bird also. This was almost similar
with all the other students. All were instructed by Drona not to release the
arrow as they failed to concentrate properly on the target. Finally, Arjuna
comes & says he sees only the bird eye. Drona feels very happy & asks
him to release the arrow. Arjuna gets the success through his sheer
concentration. This story is generally famous to set an example and explain the
importance of concentration one should make to reach the target. But we can
make several other learnings by critically analyzing it.
If
one concentrates on the bird’s eye like Arjuna in the forest, what will happen
if a lion or tiger comes from one side? Thus, it is always better to have the
Bird’s Eye view of anything i.e., having the bigger picture like Yudhisthira
& then should have a focus on the goal like Arjuna. Both qualities combined
will give you the success. Even in cricket also, we can correlate this concept
of success. The batsman should not only concentrate on the ball, but also consider
so many factors like the batting lineup, pitch condition, the target to be
achieved, overs remaining apart from his own capabilities along with the runner’s
& bowler’s capabilities. Similarly, you can list out the factors for the
bowler, keeper & the captain and so on and so forth. Ultimately,
your mind should be like the lens of a camera, which can be zoomed to see the bird’s
eye clearly & unzoomed to have the bird’s eye view. If we follow this
principle, whether it is archery, cricket or photography, everyone will say “NICE
SHOT”. You can think of other examples such as carroms, billiards etc to
understand this concept & bring out the analogy. "Be the jack of all trades & master of ONE".

“Test” for the “Best”
Healthiness
of a transformer is ensured by periodically testing the oil. Similarly,
vibrations of the rotating equipment are monitored to ensure the healthiness
& take up predictive maintenance to avoid damage. Anti-virus software conducts
regular checks to prevent the intrusion of any malware in the computer system. Quality
“tests” are conducted to deliver the “best” products. There are many more
examples of testing for ensuring the best performance of the equipment. Basic
philosophy of the tests is to give a feedback to take corrective actions to
ensure the healthiness. It is not to highlight the faults. We can interpret
this logic in daily life. We see students are scared of their weekly tests
& other examinations. In fact these examinations give a feedback for
improvement in the final annual examinations. So never be de-motivated if you
get low marks in the examination. It’s just a feedback for improvement. The
pathological tests are conducted to identify the diseases early so that
remedies may be suggested by the doctors whereas many patients are so tense about
the tests and the results. Do you feel tense when the doctor advises you for
any pathological tests? In fact we only should ask the doctors to suggest the
required tests to ensure & maintain good health by following a regular
schedule of checking our health. Please go through my post on the health &
wealth http://researchsubbu.blogspot.in/2015/05/whose-wealth-is-our-health.html.
Ultimately we are responsible for our health, our education, our career, our
family and our own life & lifestyle. Thus, it is our prime responsibility
to test our performance with the help of available sources and make necessary
changes in life style to bring out the best in ourselves. “Test” your
performance to achieve the “Best”. Self analysis is one of the useful tools to
check & take corrections to fine tune your performance. There are online
tests available for students. Students may test themselves and take required
actions to comfortably face the tests conducted at school or college. Glucometer,
blood pressure monitor are some of the instruments used by many people to
measure the glucose & blood pressure levels respectively to ensure that
they are healthy. Be proactive about yourself. We should be “Dynamic” rather
than “Diabetic” in our education, career, family life, health & wealth.
This will definitely ensure the overall growth.

Driving Towards Your Goal
Life
is a journey. Your mind is the driver of your body in this journey. Whatever
goals we put are the destinations in the journey. Driving towards the
destination safely needs our patience, concentration and the physical fitness
of the vehicle. Thus to successfully achieve the goals set in life we need all
these qualities. Without a clear map of the road, to reach the destination
creates confusion & leads to wastage of fuel, time and ultimately we cannot
reach the destination. Moreover, there is a physical & psychological
limitation for everyone in travelling through the life for achieving the goals.
If we set very big distances to be covered in the journey & we have only a vehicle
with less capacity then it becomes very difficult to reach the destination.
Either we have to upgrade the vehicle or reduce the distance to be travelled more
realistically. This clearly says that the goals we set in life should be
realistic, feasible & achievable based on the physical and psychological strengths
& the weaknesses we have. Without considering the resources & the
limitations, if we set bigger goals, the vehicle may never reach the
destination & the journey becomes unpleasant which causes the stress for
both the driver and the vehicle. If you choose a path with heavy traffic (high
competition), you should have more perseverance and determination. Following
the traffic rules is like following the ethics in the competition. Every time
you face a vehicle, just take a turn & overtake the vehicles as per the traffic
rules. Moreover if somebody is struck up on the road, help them. One more
important thing is to keep the focus always on the road & the traffic.
Always take a feedback & correct your direction to reach your destination
happily & safely.
Ten tips for Successful Journey-
1.
Set realistic goals based on the capabilities and
resources.
2. Accept your limitations.
3. Have a clear-cut road-map.
4. Be ethical in reaching your targets.
5. Help others to reach their targets also.
6. Keep the focus not only on the goal but also on the path.
7. Even if you miss your path, don't worry! Correct your directions of the journey as per the road-map & go ahead.
8. Be a sustainable vehicle on the road map of excellence.
9. Be patient when there is a red signal. After few seconds it will become green.
10. Always maintain the healthiness of the vehicle. It’s the drivers’ responsibility. Do Yoga & meditation.

Inclusive Growth of Agriculture and Biodiversity with Industrialization
Industrialization
is considered to be the key in economic growth of developing countries. To meet
the land requirements for industrialization, a lot of forest & agricultural
land is being sacrificed. To compensate this, existing government regulations
and laws do help in protecting the green cover by mandatory plantations by the
industries. Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities are some of
the other activities done by most of the industries to protect and uplift the
livelihood of the people residing in the nearby industrial areas. The existing policies are
much concerned about the protection of forests & socio-economical aspects
of people. But very little attention was paid on the damage to the agriculture and
biodiversity caused by the industrialization. Many farmers are converting their
agricultural land into industrial land for the monetary compensation,
employment and facilities provided as a part of R&R and CSR schemes of the
companies.
For
the sustainability of humankind, agriculture is the most important sector which
should not be neglected. Thus a framework for policymakers and industries for
protecting the agriculture and biodiversity is suggested with the
following proposals -
- Agriculture and biodiversity clearance is also to be taken along with other mandatory clearances like environment & forest clearances for setting up a project.
- Firms should concentrate on providing alternative land for agriculture and biodiversity parks in proportion to the land acquired for setting up the industry.
- Industries should take active part in utilizing a percentage of land acquired for the purpose of agriculture.
- Industries should collaborate for setting up & maintenance of biodiversity parks.
- Agriculture and biodiversity department may be setup and integrated with Environment and CSR departments in the industries.
- Agriculture specialists and the farmers are to be recruited and trained for enhancing their skills. Outsourcing agriculture by the company with key & skilled farmers recruited on permanent basis extends the skills acquired to other farmers on contract.
- Industries tie-up with agricultural universities.

Environment & Sustainability
Environment & human beings are interdependent. One wants to change the other. If the human beings cause 'Climate Change', a time will come when the environment forces a change in human life.Sooner or later, it is better to invite a change in our behavior towards the environment now itself. Every individual, organization, nation & the whole world have some dreams to accomplish. In the path of achieving these goals one should not hurt the dreams of others. An inclusive approach for achieving the goals integrated to common goals & common cause is required.The strategies thus adapted should necessarily consider the environment & sustainability on top priority.Our respectability comes from our ability for sustainability.

Improving the Safety at Work
Safety at work, i.e. the safety of men, equipment & material,can be enhanced by avoiding unsafe conditions and unsafe actions. This can be better achieved by focusing on both the physical & the psychological factors of the work environment.
- Physical work environment factors which include- Ladders, steps, elevators, lifts, illumination, PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment), Tools used, wet surfaces, evenness of the surface, house keeping, cleanliness, roads, speed breakers & sign boards, PTW (Permit To Work) system- Isolation of equipment, Hazardous material handling, Material Safety Data Sheets, Identification of Danger zones & display, Disaster Management Plan, Emergency exits, Fire Protection System, Electrical Earthing and other protections.
- Psychological work environment factors which include- Know-how about the equipment before operating, Mental stress of the employee, lack of concentration on work, lack of sleep or proper rest, lack of motivation, ego, overconfidence, increased workload, Awareness about the safety measures & training, Management commitment towards safety, Safety pep-talks, Safety audits, reporting and analysis of near-miss incidents, communication, mock-drills, competitions, safety counselling.

Transparency in Public Procurement
In the recent past all the big scams such as 2G spectrum, coal mine scam etc., are majorly concerned with the procurement process involved in allocation of such projects. Public procurement is the process of procurement of goods, services etc., for the public with the public money. Government companies are responsible to maintain transparency as they use the public money. Ethical practices followed in allocation of projects, contracts, material procurement dictate the fate of the company. Private companies are no exception for this as sustaining on the ethics only ensures sustainable competitive advantage. Following well-defined , clear-cut processes and guidelines with strict adherence to the systems, to be ensured by regular audits with true spirit, will definitely enhance the transparency in the public procurement. Information Technology is an effective tool to bring out transparency as well as efficiency and effectiveness in the procurement process and the audits by reducing the process delays. e-tendering, e-procurement, e-auction, e-audit and monitoring are the need of the hour now. The Public Procurement Act 2012 states to float tenders above 50 lakhs online in the company website. However, bringing the awareness in the vendors about e-tendering and encouragement for such process, IT security are some of the challenges.

Whose Wealth is Our Health?
HEALTH IS WEALTH. If we maintain good health, our health becomes our wealth; otherwise it will be the doctors' wealth.Ultimately health is wealth but 'for whom' is the question to be asked and is dependent on us. It is 'we', responsible for maintaining good health for good wealth. We should have good health to enjoy the wealth also.As said in Bhagavadgita, life is a play & we all are actors. Our souls take the costumes (bodies) and after the play, we should return those costumes without damaging them. Even though the costumes do not stay with us after the play is over, the roles played by us stay forever. It is similar to taking a book from the library & returning it within the prescribed time without damaging it. Even though the book does not stay with us, the essence of the knowledge stays forever. Thus, it is our prime responsibility to continually improve the health & wealth in life and inspire others. As the Health consists of both physical & mental health, we should inculcate a culture of healthy habits such as exercises, walking, swimming, yoga, meditation, stress relieving techniques, work-life balance to change the lifestyle to combat the life style diseases or disorders. Health & Wealth are the two eyes of human-beings to see the world of growth and prosperity and are the way of life. Thus, OUR HEALTH IS OUR WEALTH if and only if it is properly maintained. Now think whether your health is your wealth or not?

How the "Commitment at Work" works?
The mutual commitment between the
organization and the employees is the secret of success for not only the organization but also for the employees.
This can be better achieved through inspirational leadership. The
organizational focus should be not only on making the roadmaps for sustainable
growth, but also on making every employee a sustainable vehicle on the roadmaps
made for the organization. This sense of employee bonding and belongingness is to be inculcated by
enhancing the effectiveness of the following-
-Proper need based training
-Giving higher responsibilities
-Putting the employees in
cross-functional teams
-Taking opinions & suggestions
-Proper succession planning
-Performance management and rewards
-Stress management interventions

Happiness - The Main Goal of Life
Happiness should be the main goal of life. Remaining all are the sub-goals. But people think that all the sub-goals like achieving something, earning this much, buying something will give the happiness in life. Just after achieving those sub-goals only, they come to know that there is no happiness there. Again they search for happiness by setting some other goals.Here one important thing to be observed is that they are leaving the HAPPINESS itself in the run to chase these sub-goals. Thus, instead of going behind these sub-goals, one should straightaway aim at HAPPINESS as the main goal of life and try to achieve it in each and every juncture of life.
Enjoy each and every picosecond of life.
