2G Bomb: RTIS Shook North Block
The C&AG report tells that the 2G spectrum scam cost the country approximately Rs 1,76,645 crores. The amount involved in 2G spectrum scam is so huge that one cannot imagine that this scam did materialize without the involvement of the top political masters. How come nobody in the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Finance could sniff the ‘dirty spectrum air’?
Briefly, it is pointed out that the 2G Spectrum scam infact started due to unlawful changes in Terms of References (ToR) for vacation and reallocation of spectrum from Defence and related organisations. Earlier, only the defence was enjoying the exclusive rights to use the 2G spectrum technology. The draft ToR for GoM included the pricing of spectrum. But after the discussion (as per documents supplied under RTI) between Sh Dayanidhi Maran and Prime Minister, the original ToR were modified, which were finally approved. These final ToR (proposed by Telecom Minister) had no sign of pricing of spectrum. This was the beginning of 2G Scam. Later on, no auction of spectrum licences was done and the licences were alloted at the prices of 2001 in 2008, which shocked the country due to this one of the biggest scam so far. This book is an outcome of the PMO’s and other responses from ministries to various applications filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act on the 2G spectrum. Though the response is not very warm, yet the Prime Minister’s Office sent the controversial ‘Office Memorandum’ of March 25, 2011 prepared by the Ministry of Finance, which they had sent to the PMO, alongwith many other important documents. This note, which shook the North and South Blocks, is quite an eye-opener. The book, based on the documents received in response to RTIs filed by Vivek Garg, is an attempt to bring the 2G spectrum scam in public domain. He is an advocate and veteran in RTI activism who has been fighting for long to expose corruption at high places. Now, the 2G spectrum scam, the Commonwealth Games 2010 scam, crude oil scam, the rotten grain scam, bunch of various scams in UP and politics of riots in various states, figure…

Unmasking Kashmir: A Bureaucrat Reveals (HB)
“The way Jammu and Kashmir has been suffering for over past six decades makes one think if there is really a curse on this ‘Paradise on Earth’. J&K’s economy is centred on horticulture, handicrafts, and tourism. But corruption and misrule have spoilt the atmosphere so much that the people feel perpetually alienated from their government. This book presents a ring-side view of the reality of Kashmiri politicians, bureaucrats and the public as never seen before. Sonali Kumar, a starry-eyed young woman, joined the IAS in 1979 to make a difference to India. She chose to come to the State of Jammu and Kashmir where she spent 37 years trying to understand its people, solve their problems and focus on development. What she found there was disturbing – an apartheid regime where the humanity is divided between insiders and outsiders, where outsiders nearly become second class citizens…. She tried to make the administrative system ‘people-friendly’ but soon became a victim herself. Little did she know that her quest for development in Kashmir will become a fight against corruption, nepotism, gender bias, communalism and anti-nationalism – all mixed together. She doesn’t realise that the vested interests she had hurt, will soon hit her back, and may even cost her career, house, perks and even her happiness. Will she succeed? Or will she fail? The book will prove useful both in understanding what the bureaucrats, especially in the IAS, do in J&K and in helping frame some national policies for dealing with the administrative set-up as well as the political problems in the State.”

Winning Strategies Serving With A Smile
We did a scanning of catalogues of all publishing houses, libraries and books stores and discovered that there is NOT a single, soft-skill training books catering specifically to the needs of students, aspiring to get into the aviation and hospitality industries. This book fils that vital gap.
When Air Hostes Academy (AHA) launched its first training institute at Delhi’s Amar Colony, there was not a single institute of its kind offering customised training for the aviation and hospitality sectors. The programme became popular since there was a great demand for it because of its usefulness in the industry.SKU: n/a
