Moderator's Note:Mukesh Ambani on 22 August was reported as seeking convergence of civil engineering and agriculture can build a trans-India water resources system by linking rivers. In 1980 Congress Party won the elections and the most noteworthy person at the victory rally was Dhirubhai Ambani. Since then several years have passed and now the proximity of Mukesh Ambani with Sonia Gandhi is a public knowledge.Saifuddin Soz in an interview on Lok Sabha TV on 29 August reiteratedthat the annual monsoon flows in the rivers in the northern, easternand northeastern parts is reaching the sea is waste and therefore,the linking of rivers is still going on.After parting ways with the National Conference Soz joined theCongress on August 8, 2002 ,saying that it was the only party with thewherewithal to confront "parochial and communal forces'' in the country. According to Dr. Soz, he had decided to accept Ms. Sonia Gandhi's invitation to join the Congress as it is "not just a party, but a movement''. Its movement to promote the ideals of likes of Ambani. In January 2006, Soz was nominated to the Congress Working Committee. He was also Minister of Environment and Forests in the nineties.Do we still need to know that who all the people who are pushing forthe mega project along with Dr Kalam?These are the people who will have us believe that the water flowingdown to sea during monsoon is a wasted precious resource.Do we need to underline the Obscenity of farmers' suicide and thebuilding of a new home in the financial hub of Mumbai: a 60-storeypalace with helipad, health club and six floors of car parking.??Special Economic Zones and the proposal of linking of the rivers arequite linked. Microsoft CEO Ballmer drops a bombshell, says he and Mukesh D. Ambanidropped out of Stanford MBA class but after Ambani returned to Indiafrom the US in 1981, he "always been claiming he holds a MBA degreefrom Stanford University instead of stating that he merely studiedthere. The ˜fact" of his holding an MBA has been explicitly statedtime and again in various official documents such as annual reports ofcompanies in the Reliance group, including the group's flagshipReliance Industries Limited.."Such are the credentials of the supporters of interlinking of rivers.....As long as political parties get corporate funding SEZs and megaprojects like linking of rivers will always find favours with politicians.Moderator----------------------------------------------------------Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) chairman and managing director MukeshAmbani on Tuesday said technology could help marginal farmers breedagricultural produce which in turn can meet critical energy needs."A convergence between energy and agriculture can address energysecurity while raising income levels of farmers. This can be donethrough a biofuels revolution. It is possible to develop hybrid andtransgenic technologies to use marginal lands for producing biofuelcrops, Ambani, whose group has interests in both biotechnology and fuels, said in a memorial lecture for late industrialist Darbari Seth in New Delhi."It is possible to have a development model which improves the qualityof output, raises producers incomes and delivers products at lowerprices. It can be done by a convergence of organized retailing andagriculture." said Ambani, whose venture Reliance Retail is attemptingto directly procure farm produce from farmers while cutting downmiddlemen.RIL chairman said a convergence of civil engineering and agriculturecan build a trans-India water resources system by linking rivers. "Wecan converge electronics and new-age materials to build a devicesecosystem."He called for a new development model that can be built on the valuesof cooperation and partnership between the producer and consumer;between shareholder and consumer; between managers and employees; andbetween corporates and government.Hindustan TimesNew Delhi, August 22, 2007__._,_.___
