Vanita Kohli-Khandekar: The insider's view of Indian media
Since yearends and beginnings are about reflections and resolutions, here are some from yours truly. In 2000, I was an assistant editor at Businessworld magazine, writing and editing whatever came my way — management, media, Internet, technology. A stint in Cambridge researching copyrights in digital music, at the height of the Napster era, helped me decide to specialise in media and entertainment (M&E) writing. Now in the tenth year of making my bread and butter from this business, it makes sense to revisit the reasons I chose this industry.

Phase out old technology plants: Steel ministry

The Centre today asked industries and research laboratories to develop alternate technologies using iron ore and non-coking coal so as to reduce production cost for the steel industry. - Inefficient steel units to be phased out - Steel consumption rises by 5.2% in first quarter - Steel Min to meet PM, FM on restricting iron ore exports - No hike in import duty on steel for now: Govt - Steel Min favours import duty removal on stainless steel scrap - Steel Min for restructuring of four PSU units "We encourage R&D by extending financial support to develop innovative technologies for agglomeration of Indian lean ores," Union Steel Secretary P K Rastogi said here at an international convention on clean, green & sustainable technologies in iron and steel making. Though old plants of SAIL and Tata Steel have been modernised, the technology in most other steel plants are still obsolete leading to low productivity, high energy consumption and high environmental emission. "We are still far behind the world bench mark and hence require fresh thoughts to improve our performances," he said. The improvement in performance is possible only through adoption of clean technologies that could sustain the growth and development of the sector in the future, he said. "We have to gradually phase out all inefficient production units in favour of clean, green, enegry efficient and environment friendly processes at the earliest," Rastogi added.
