From the President 

In First Person 

In a recent development that 

will cheer our business 

c o m m u n i t y , K a r n a t a k a 

continues to be the country’s 

top preferred destination for 

investments. The Trade and 

Industry is still grappling with 

the complex new Goods and 

Services Tax (GST) rolled out 

post-July 2017 and the trade 

and industry bodies are 

slowly getting the nuances of 

the law in place and hopefully, 

in the coming months the nation will be GST-compliant. 

There are bound to be several teething problems 

d u r i n g t h e o n g o i n g i m p l e m e n t a t i o n o f a 

transformational indirect tax regime such as GST. 

The FKCCI is setting up GST Simulation & Facilitation 

Centres in all districts of Karnataka in association with 

District Chambers of Commerce. Any Member of the 

Chamber can visit the GST Simulation Centre and seek 

clarification on specific issues related to their line of 

business. They are open basically to accelerate the process 

of GST integration especially among the MSME players who 

are finding it difficult to understand and grasp the nuances of 

the new law. The Chamber has partnered with renowned 

technology companies and the tax department to guide 

Members in solving compliance issues. 

India is expected to be home to a workforce of 500 million 

by 2022. About 12 million persons are expected to join 

the workforce every year. However, only 10% of the total 

workforce in the country receives some kind of skill 

training (2% with formal training and 8% with informal 

training). Considering the increasing requirement for 

skilled labour, FKCCI has decided to set up a Skill 

Development Institute. We are thankful to KIADB for 

having allotted 1.5 acres of land for setting up the 

Institute in Dobbaspet Industrial Area which shall aim to 

support the following objectives: 

Skill development for ITI graduates 

Exposure to real-life workplace situations 

Exposure to latest trends in Manufacturing/Innovation 

Collaboration with international skill development 

partners in Germany and Switzerland 

Host startups/incubators and provide mentoring 

and support for their growth 

The continued crisis in the farm sector has alarmed us all 

and so we at the FKCCI joined hands with Media Today 

Group to organize the 9th Edition of Agri-Tech India 

2017 and Foodex 2017 which gave a single, common 

platform for all stakeholders of the farm sector to come 

together and stave off the crisis. All of us, especially from 

Industry, Trade and Commerce, need to join hands to 

encourage the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘More Crop, Per 

Drop’ and we at the Federation would like to urge the farm 

sector to adopt newer technologies in the cutting edge to 

increase farm output and better the quality of produce. 

FKCCI will establish a Centre for Business Excellence at 

its state of-the-art new Centenary building and conduct 

certification courses on export documentation, labour 

laws, tourism, GST etc. in association with government 

agencies and professional bodies. Sir MV Research 

Centre will be started where several position and 

research papers by renowned experts on a crosssection 

of relevant and topical subjects will be released, 

and support extended to the government to improve the 

Ease of Doing Business by highlighting pain-points of 

the industry and helping policy -makers to tune in with 

the industry requirements. 

For the first time, FKCCI will be representing at the 

prestigious international Conference, the “World 

Chambers Congress”, a premier event of its kind 

bringing together chambers, business and government 

figures on a single platform to discuss issues related to 

trade and industry, scheduled between September 19 

and 21, 2017 at Sydney, Australia. 

In conclusion, I would like to state that the initiatives 

enumerated above, would enable FKCCI to play the role of 

a policy facilitator more effectively. Development, being a 

continuous process, I intend taking forward in continuing 

the initiatives taken by my predecessors along with my 

action plan. This would be possible only with the active 

support of the Government, the visionaries of the State 

and the Centre, Print and Electronic media, Members of 

FKCCI and the people of the State. 

With warm regards

FKCCI’s initiative to find solution for agrarian crisis 

The farm sector should adopt newer and cutting edge 

technologies to increase farm output and better the 

quality of produce to achieve the Prime Minister’s vision 

of‘MoreCrop,Per Drop’:K.Ravi,President, FKCCI 

FKCCI created history by organizing the 9th Edition of 

Agri Tech India 2017 and Foodex 2017 in association 

with Media Today Group at the Bangalore International 

Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru from August 28-30. 

The event was held concurrently with many other 

exhibitions in its fold such as India Foodex, Grain Tech 

India, Dairy Tech India, Flora Tech India organized by 

Media Today Group, India’s Leading Agro-Trade Events 

and Publication Group, and a pioneer in organizing 

focused and highly specialized Trade Exhibitions. 

In a press release prior to the event, FKCCI informed 

that the Federation had been actively associated with 

the Agri-Business Sector in terms of raw material 

procurement, supply of inputs and trading farm 

produce and noted that the farm sector was going 

through a paradigm shift from conventional methods 

to more precision-based agriculture supplemented 

by advance technologies, mechanization and 

automation involving several fields of science such as 

Engineering, Biotechnology, Satellite Technology, 

ICT, Robotics, Nanotechnology and many more. 

According to Sri K. Ravi, President farming cannot be 

profitable if it is limited to only production and the 

present-day challenge is to deliver the food products 

produced to consumers as fresh as possible – like 

what is described as farm-to-fork in some quarters - 

with utmost safety, minimum wastage and maximum 

economy, and at the same time aim at prevention of 

soil and water depletion, reduce pollution, conserve 

natural resources, use inputs economically, improve 

efficiency and provide for biodiversity. 

FKCCI for ‘More Crop, Per Drop’ 

“With the change in the agriculture scenario FKCCI 

wants to actively engage with the stakeholders in the 

sector and help the farming community to enhance 

its profits and at the same time ensure sustainability. 

Newer and newer technologies are helping 

to produce more, as well as in improving the quality 

of the produce, and our goal should be to achieve 

‘More Crop, Per Drop’ as the Prime Minister has said,” 

the FKCCI President said in the release. “These 

challenges should also be seen as a great opportunity 

to boost agriculture trade internationally and reap 

higher profits, besides creating employment 

opportunities especially in rural areas. It is time that 

we showcase the new technologies, innovations, 

global developments and potential employment 

opportunities available and the Agri-Tech 2017 

has been organized to provide such a platform 

for all stakeholders.” 

In his informal interaction with the participants, Chief 

Guest, H.E. Sri Vaju Bhai Ruda Bhai Vala, Governor of 

Karnataka, expressed his happiness at the FKCCI, an 

apex organization for industry, trade and service sectors 

of Karnataka also associating with the farm sector and 

promoting the Agri-Tech India 2017 Exhibition. 

As the FKCCI President explained, Karnataka as a 

leader in knowledge-based, technology-driven, 

industries like IT, Biotechnology, Electronics, Telecom, 

Aerospace and other industries, and recognized as the 

Knowledge hub of Asia with the largest number of R & D 

Centers in India, offers ample opportunities for the 

growth of agriculture sector. Though India has attained 

self-sufficiency in food production, depleting soil and 

water resources, increase in pollution, reduction in biodiversity, 

increase in cost of production, labour shortage, 

global completion and most importantly wastage of 

produce in transit, storage and distribution from the 

Commendable initiative from FKCCI 

Observing that despite Green Revolution and 

quadrupling of farm production, living standards of 

farmers had not improved and the next generation 

among the farming community was moving away 

from their basic profession which was a very 

farms to the consumer, combined to reduce 

profitability in farming activity. The only way to 

address this challenge and make agriculture more 

competitive, Sri Ravi said, was to adopt modern 

techniques in production as well as post-harvest 

technology which could reduce wastage, improve 

quality and ensure safe delivery to the consumers, 

and this involved various stages such as handling of 

the produce, transportation, packaging, storage, 

cold chain management, labelling etc. 

The agricultural sector also required the support and 

services of Financial management, Capital providers, 

Legal support, Consultancy services, Infrastructure 

developers, and Food regulators if it had to achieve 

higher growth, according to the FKCCI President who 

added that food exports offered another big opportunity 

that had huge potential given our rich biodiversity with 

variety of food crops, horticulture, fruits, vegetables & 

flowers, spices and plantation crops, dairy and poultry 

products as well as a long coast line, rivers and tanks 

which gives great opportunity to exploit the potential of 

fisheriesinenhancingtrade. 

disturbing trend, as food production was the most 

critical need of the country, Sri Ravi stressed that 

there was a lot of untapped potential for adding value 

to the farm produce and thus enhance the 

incomes/profitability. The onus for this should be as

muchonincreasedproductivityasonsustainabilitywhich 

necessitated optimum use of the limited resources. 

Analysing the present crisis in the agrarian sector, Sri 

K. Ravi in his address to the participants, listed 

various factors responsible such as excessive cost of 

operation, depletion of groundwater resources and 

water table, labour shortage, deficient marketing, 

lack of processing facilities and value-addition. The 

crisis was further compounded by the migration of 

farmers from villages to urban areas and cities, 

forsaking their farming profession. The only solution 

was a wider and holistic embrace of technology 

which could yield sustainability. Hi-tech applications 

drawn from mechanical engineering, robotics, 

satellite technology, ICT, IOT, could deliver optimum 

operational efficiencies and drive up profits. 

Calling for a holistic approach to bring about an 

evolution in the farm sector, beginning from growing 

the business and targeting the export of the produce, 

to legal support and financial advisory services, 

FKCCI suggested that a Panel of Experts drawn from 

diverse domains should be formed to come up with 

an advisory service for the farm sector. 

On the conduct of the Agri-Tech India Exhibition, Sri 

Ravi said this year, the event included an innovative 

Culinary Competition which would be very useful to 

know about new and emerging opportunities in food 

processing sector and also for the Hospitality industry 

which could make use of it as a value-added service. 

Summing up, the FKCCI President hoped that the 

Federation’s commendable initiative of bringing 

together all stakeholders of farm sector under one 

roof at the Agri-Tech India 2017 will help to develop 

new strategies for enhancing farm incomes, reducing 

drudgery, and making it more sustainable. 

The event also offered a window of opportunity for 

collaboration between various stakeholders such as 

food processing sector, infrastructure services, 

specialized agricultural machinery manufacturers, 

supply chain management experts, food safety 

standards and quality experts.

Bengaluru startup’s App to help farmers avoid price crash 

MC 

A Bengaluru-based startup has developed an app 

that keeps farmers up-to-date on demand and supply 

since lack of such information leads to excess 

production and price crash. 

Giving details of the app, D. Prasanna, Founder of the 

start-up, Way2ABI, at his stall in AgriTech India 2017, 

said, “Frustrated farmers destroy their produce since 

a price crash means they do not even get the input 

cost. The root of the problem is lack of information 

about demand and supply. As smartphones have 

found their ways to the remotest corners, we thought 

an app would help farmers.”

Though the Government has launched several 

schemes to help farmers, real time information is 

missing. “The agriculture department’s information 

stops at details of sowing area. There is no production 

forecast. We don’t even get last year’s data on 

production. Farmers need timely information,” he said. 

The app, ‘Way2ABI Agri FBI’, provides weekly 

updates on demand trends in Agriculture Produce 

Marketing Committees as well as information on 

district-wise supply and demand ratio. Farmers also 

get graphs, charts, market review and summary about 

10 crops, including onion, tomato, coffee, cotton and 

tur, that see ups and downs on a regular basis. 

FKCCI Events 

Downloaded by about 3,500 farmers already, the app 

is getting recognised for its crucial information. “We 

have to look at the production trend in India as well as 

import scenario. For example, we came to know 

about high yield of onion in Maharashtra and advised 

farmers not to wait for a better price,” he said. 

For now registration for the app is free. The company 

first wants to reach as many farmers as possible and 

only after convincing the farmers of the app’s use, 

they intend to charge about Rs 500 for four months. 

Clarify Confusion about Compliance under RERA Act to avoid 

Disruption in Real Estate: K. Ravi, President, FKCCI 

MC 

place by the developers before selling the properties, 

and requested the Principal Secretary of Housing 

Department to Sri Kapil Mohan to guide the Members 

about the way forward. 

Starting the proceedings, Dr. B. Amaranath, 

Chairman, Civic Affairs & Urban Development 

Committee, FKCCI said the authorities should check 

and verify the credentials of the promoters and their 

agents before they are registered and wide publicity 

be given for the benefit of the public while also 

ensuring that 70% of the deposit amount made by the 

promoters is not diverted. 

Addressing the Members, Sri Kapil Mohan, IAS 

informed that under the RERA Act, the Karnataka 

Real Estate Regulation and Development Rules, 2017 

was approved by GOK and notified on July 10, 2017. 

The basic objective behind the RERA Act was to 

encourage greater transparency, citizen-centricity, 

accountability and financial discipline and the Act 

seeks to regulate all the ongoing projects as well as 

projects which are proposed to be launched. As of 

now, 1,100 registrations had been made with RERA in 

Karnataka and the penalty for violation of the Act is as 

high as 10% of the Project cost, he said. 

This was followed by a detailed presentation on the 

salient features of RERA Act, viz. procedures on the 

registration on the project, mandatory disclosure of 

project details, functions and duties of promoters, 

compulsory deposit of 70% by the promoters in a 

separate account, functions of the Real Estate 

Regulatory Authority, establishment of Real Estate 

Appellate Tribunal and the Punitive Provisions. 

Thanking FKCCI for taking the initiative to spread 

awareness among the real estate sector, he said the 

Department plans to conduct such programmes on 

RERAActintheDistrictswheretherealestate isthriving. 

In a unique initiative by the FKCCI, an online 

webcasting of the programme was made available for 

viewing both nationally as well as in overseas 

countries. The link livewebcasting.in/kapilmohan/can

Avoid Disruption 

MC 

Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) = Lesser Time 

for Redressal @ Lower Cost 

Property developers were in a tizzy about the policy 

aspects related to the Real Estate Regulatory 

Authority (RERA) Act 2016 and this had put the real 

estate sector in a quandary affecting its growth, 

Sri K. Ravi, President, FKCCI observed, at an 

Interactive Session with Sri Kapil Mohan, IAS, 

Principal Secretary, Housing Department, GOK, 

held at FKCCI on August 16. 

Acknowledging that the landmark RERA Act 2016 

legislation aimed to regulate and streamline the 

housing activities so as to safeguard the interest of 

buyers as well as regulate the activities of the 

promoters/developers, he said there were a lot of 

grey areas which needed clarification about the 

nature and kind of compliances that are to be put in 

An understanding of dispute resolution and conflict 

management was integral to running any successful 

business but the ground reality is awareness on this 

issue is very sketchy. It is with this in mind that 

the FKCCI decided to organize an interaction on 

Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) extended by 

the Judiciary Department/High court by Hon’ble 

Sri Vishwanath V Angadi, Dist. Judge (Retd) at FKCCI 

on August 11, said Sri K. Ravi, President, FKCCI in his 

opening remarks and welcome address. He also 

hoped that such exchange programmes would be 

held at other Districts in Karnataka for the benefit of 

the business fraternity. 

Addressing the participants, Sri Vishwanath V. Angadi, 

Dist. Judge (Retd) explained that the Alternate 

Dispute Resolution (ADR) facilitates lesser time for 

redressal and also the cost involved is very less when 

compared to civil matters. There are two types of Dispute 

Resolutionviz.Adjudication;andThirdpartynegotiations 

through ADR, and similarly there are two kinds of 

Adjudications viz. Public Forum; and Private Forum. 

The Arbitrator’s work is discharged by a civil judge 

and so no fee is payable to the court. In case of Public 

Forum, the choice of Adjudication was not available, 

whilesuchchoicewasavailableincaseofPrivateForum.

Minimum Wages Hike Hurting Small Industry: President 

Explaining the differences between a conflict and a 

dispute, Sri Vishwanath V. Angadi said while a 

Dispute is taken to court and attended by the 

arbitrators, a dispute is the product of a Conflict and 

the end-product of disputes is litigation. 

On Mediation, he said it denoted third party negotiation 

out of court. Arbitration and Conciliation wereother ways 

of tackling the issue. The Mediator is a facilitator and 

a negotiator, and he explores all sorts of options to 

find a solution that is agreeable to both the parties. 

Referring to Lok Adalat, Sri Vishwanath V. Angadi 

said it was a pre-litigation case and a people’s court 

which has sittings on every 2nd Saturday. 

Recovery of Rs. 1 crore or any amount more than Rs 

20-30 crore will be charged at Rs 12 lakh only to the 

Arbitration Centre. 

As regards Conciliation, he said the conciliator works 

as adjudicator. This incurs no fees and a solution can 

be found in about one year and three months 

maximum. All disputes of contract like: Lease 

agreement, supplier- customer, cases involving grant 

of bankers, builders, developers, licensor, licensee 

are covered under this. 

The interaction concluded with vote of thanks by 

Sri C.R. Janardhana, Vice-President, FKCCI. 

The small entrepreneur is like an unsung hero, a last 

mile entrepreneur who contributes substantially to 

the national economy but does not enjoy the luxury of 

having the support of special interests/identity 

groups and therefore it was the responsibility of 

industry bodies to fight unitedly to render justice to 

the Micro, Small & Medium Scale Enterprises 

(MSME), Sri K. Ravi, President, FKCCI, declared 

at an Interaction with Sri Zaheer Basha, Addl. 

Commissioner of Labour, GoK held at FKCCI Cabinet 

Hall on August 9. “The Labour Department has to 

adopt a proactive approach in favour of the MSME 

sector and be a helping hand rather than a hindrance 

in getting justice to our small entrepreneurs,” he said. 

Opening the session, Sri P.C. Rao, Chairman, Labour 

Laws Committee requested the Chief Guest to throw 

light on the recent amendments in Labour Laws 

especially with regard to the stipulation of Minimum 

Wages and its effect on Trade and Industry. 

Addressing the participants, Sri Zaheer Basha, Asst. 

Labour Commissioner, while appreciating the 

concerns expressed by the FKCCI President, 

stressed that the Department was giving continuous 

attention to improving the Ease of Doing Business, 

listing some of the recent measures and initiatives 

such as, establishing of e-Karmikas for shops and 

commercials establishments where applications for 

the same were to be submitted online; online mode 

being introduced for registrations and licensing 

which will be completed by August-end; third party 

inspections introduced for auditing compliances in 

Labour Laws, and such other initiatives. 

Interaction session: 

Sri Tallam Venkatesh, Past President remarked that 

the proposed hike in Minimum Wages would result in 

a MSME entrepreneur incurring 1.4 times more loss, with 

thehike inminimumwages amounting toalmost 200%. 

Sri N. Satish, Chairman of Industry Committee pointed 

out that in countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh 

the wages to labour was very low and appealed 

to the Department to consider having a MSME 

representative on the wage Board of the Government. 

Sri Allam Burji, MC Member said the notion that it is 

acceptable for a MSME to suffer while offering better 

wages to employees was questionable and illogical. 

Sri Arun Kumar, Past President pointed out how the 

number of shows presented by a theatre had come 

down from six to four, even while an operator could 

manage as many six digital projectors, and averred 

that the Government was indirectly following “survive 

or close’ policy. 

12 

13



Dr. Philip Lewis, Past President observed that the 

garments and the casting industry were the worst 

affected by the hike in minimum wages. Asking the 

industry to pay Rs 18000 minimum monthly wage 

was an idea whose time had not come yet and could 

be possible five years from now, he opined, and said 

the ease of doing measures should be seen to 

improve the ground reality, and not just on paper. 

Sri Ramesh Patil, President, KCCI, Hubballi said the 

Department should consult the MSME sector before 

introducing such major policy measures that could 

put a question mark on their very survival. 

Ms. Jessy Lawrence, MC Member drew on her own 

experience and said the Garment industry would 

prefer levy of import tax on garments than the hike in 

Minimum Wages. 

Sri Rahul Goyel, MC Member also echoed the 

observations made by the Members and said the 

small entrepreneur needed to be protected rather 

than make it difficult for him to survive. 

Dr. Gubbi, Head Legal Wing, FKCCI pointed out that 

E m ployer’s representatives are very less and 

Employees representatives are more in the Wage Board 

which resulted in the hike in Minimum Wages and FKCCI 

was awaiting a response from the Government for its 

suggestion to increase the representation of the 

Employers in the Minimum Wage Board. 

Replying to the queries, Sri Zaheer Basha, Asst. Labour 

CommissionerclarifiedthatthestipulationofRs18,000/- 

MinimumWageswasnotyetimplemented in Karnataka. 

The interaction ended with a vote of thanks by 

Sri Sudhakar S. Shetty, Sr. Vice- President, FKCCI.

Federation moots formation of Southern Council for Traders 

FKCCI promises to promote NSIC Schemes for MSMEs 

“A Southern Council or Association may be formed 

for this purpose under Section 8, based in either 

Bengaluru or Chennai with two representatives from 

each State,” Sri K. Ravi said and added that “FKCCI is 

ready to extend its full support and take the lead role 

for this initiative with other trade bodies.” 

Sri M. Abdul Subhan, VP, CITA, Pondicherry gave 

the example of how GST was hurting the hotel 

industry by an additional levy of 18% on hotels with 

AC facility, due to which business had come down 

and at this rate Pondicherry may well be reduced to 

a municipality or corporation. 

Issues related to the business & trading community 

that are common to all southern States especially in 

the context of the GST rollout, may be represented in 

one voice before the Government so that they are 

heard and heeded by the powers that be, Sri K. Ravi, 

President, FKCCI, suggested at a meeting convened 

at FKCCI Cabinet Hall with the South Indian Trade 

Associations on August 3. . 

At the outset, Sri Bharath Kumar R. Shah, Chairman, 

APMC, Internal Trade & Food Processing Committee, 

FKCCI welcomed the representatives from the 

different States and invited them to share their 

perspective of the problems in their region. 

Sri Praveen, Mobile Dealers Association, conceded 

that the business community had to make peace 

and work with the new changes introduced by the 

Government and upgrade their business to meet the 

challenge, even while supporting the cause of the 

traders as the President had emphasized. 

Sri D.A. Prasanna Kumar suggested that the 

proposed Council representing all southern States 

and the UT of Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar 

should first focus on resolving the concerns or the 

trading community related to GST and said there 

should be meetings at each of the southern States to 

strengthen coordination and local-level engagement. 

In his introductory remarks, Sri C.R. Janardhana, Vice- 

President, FKCCI observed that the problems faced 

by traders in South India was unique to the region 

which was why it was necessary for all south Indian 

trade bodies to work together and said the GST in its 

present form is more convenient to the Government 

than the common man, and therefore needed to be 

improved upon. He also suggested that the proposed 

Governing Council Members should be formed with 4 

representatives from different States. 

Sri M. Nijabddin, Coordinator, South Zone, Calicut 

(Kerala) called for a formation of a joint Council 

representing six States of southern India viz. Karnataka, 

Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh 

and Telangana, apart from the Union Territories of 

Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar who had 

consented to join such a Council. Only such a Council 

could help in better engagement with the Centre for a 

focused response on their specific issues, he said. 

Explaining the way forward, Sri Ramesh Chandra 

Lahoti, Vice-Chairman, -- Committee, FKCCI, said 

the proposed new non-profit body to be named as 

South India Traders Association (SITA) under Section 

8 will represent common issues of the southern 

region such as GST, FSSAI, APMC, Distributors of 

Pharma (FMCG), Distributor of Electrical compliance 

etc, with 4 representatives from 6 districts and 2 

representatives from Union Territories of Lakshadweep, 

and Andaman & Nicobar, and 3 advisors from 

Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and one PRO 

based in Delhi. 

After a detailed discussion among the Members, 

it was decided that the proposed Council would hold 

regular meetings with the next meeting scheduled for 

August 22 at Chennai and the decisions taken would 

be followed up with the elected representatives of 

the corresponding State for redressal from the 

concerned authorities. 

Sri Ravindra Nath, C&MD, NSIC New Delhi, visited FKCCI 

on August 3 along with Sri Ravikumar, CGM, Bengaluru, 

Smt. MS. Kokila, Branch Manager NSIC, Peenya, and 

other Officials for an interaction with the Members.

Karnataka has vast untapped potential in Eco-Tourism, 

a high job growth sector 

what may be called as national travellers and do not 

include domestic travellers, he noted. Tourism is by far 

the largest industry with huge earnings of over US$ 1,250 

Billion and is the largest employer worldwide employing 

one out of every 10 persons is still rapidly growing. 

In the Indian context, he pointed out that we get 

around nine million International Tourists every year 

but if you look at the Domestic Tourism it is extremely 

huge with nearly 400-500 million Domestic Tourist 

Travel annually. This is easily one of the largest 

movements of Travellers anywhere in the world, he 

declared saying it is equal to half of India’s population 

travelling every year within the country. Thus the 

potential for economic growth in the interior areas, 

rural villages and towns, and for eco-tourism itself, is 

tremendous and vastly untapped, he said. 

Eco-Tourism definition as per World Tourism 

Organization (WTO): “Tourism that involves 

travelling to relatively undisturbed natural areas 

with the specified object of studying, admiring 

and enjoying the scenery and its wild plants and 

animals, as well as any existing cultural aspects 

(both of the past and the present) found in these 

areas.” (WTO, 1999) 

Turning to Karnataka, Sri Vinay Luthra said Karnataka has 

the highest number of tigers in the world with 400 Tigers 

and the State is also number one elephant State of the 

World,withover6000+Elephantsasperthelatestcensus. 

To protect wildlife environment, Sri Luthra said they 

have come with a program called Support the Tiger 

and the Charter of desirables is a wish-list of activities 

drawn by the custodian/director of the Tiger Reserve or 

protected area which need support. These fall outside 

regular Government funding or activity which needs 

higher budgetary support. These activities are in line 

with the approved management Plan like 

Constructions Adoption of anti poaching camps and 

we need Camera traps to identify the Tigers and protect 

them and create nature awareness by supporting 

nature camps and Eco-tourism faculties, better 

communication systems and vehicles for patrolling. 

During the interaction, Sri Shiv Shanmugam, Past 

President said the Federation was willing to spread 

awareness about eco-tourism opportunities in many 

countries with which it had signed MoU. Sri C.R. 

Janardhana, Vice-President, Past Presidents, MC 

Members, Sri P. Radhakrishnan, Secretary-General, 

took part in the deliberations. 

Eco-tourism is one of the fastest growing segments in 

the Tourism Industry worldwide and Environment has 

an intrinsic value which outweighs its value as a 

tourism asset, Sri K. Ravi, President, FKCCI, at an 

interaction with Sri Vinay Luthra, IFS (Retd), 

Chairman, Karnataka Eco-Tourism Development 

Board and Former Principal Chief Conservator of 

Forest Department of Forest, GoK, held at Cabinet 

Hall, FKCCI on August 23. 

Considering that multitude of tourists visiting 

Karnataka including the domestic tourists do visit 

destinations that fall in the categories of Eco-tourism 

and nature- based tourism; it is pertinent that we add 

value and bring about positive growth. Karnataka has 

been in the forefront of many aspects of tourism 

promotion and of late there has been a qualitative 

churn and focus on Eco-tourism, Sri K. Ravi, 

President, FKCCI noted. 

Observing that tourism and environment enjoy a 

symbiotic relationship, the dilemma however is that 

the residents lay greater stress on tourism 

development whereas the society at large focuses on 

environmental protection. In this context, Ecotourism 

is being promoted as a means of ‘giving 

nature value’ and hence achieving sustainable 

tourism. The term ‘eco-tourism’ has been defined in 

many ways and is usually used to describe tourism 

activities which are conducted in harmony with 

nature, he said, and expressed the hope that ecotourism 

can provide the local community with jobs, 

enabling a shift away from unsustainable practices 

such as over grazing, mining or logging in 

environmentally sensitive eco systems. 

Delivering a lecture on “Tourism & Planet Committed 

for Greener Future”, Chief Guest Sri IFS (Retd), 

Chairman, Karnataka Eco-Tourism Development 

Board and Former Principal Chief Conservator of 

Forest Department of Forest, GoK, quoted statistics 

that show that nearly 1.3 billion people travel every 

year from one country to another, These constitute

Team FKCCI meets Horticulture 

Minister Team FKCCI led by 

Sri K. Ravi, President and 

comprising Sri C.R. Janardhana, 

Vice President and MC Members 

called on Sri S.S. Mallikarjun, 

Hon’ble Minister for Horticulture 

and APMC, GOK to take up 

e-Payment issues of APMC Traders. 

Spend Quality Time with your Children to fight 

Blue Whale Challenge: President 

Describing the Blue Whale challenge as an example 

of lopsided awareness especially among the 

emotionally and intellectually vulnerable youth, 

Sri K. Ravi, President, FKCCI urged the Parenting 

community to spend more time with their children so 

that they can understand the external influences that 

drive children to wholly negative and undesirable 

practices, leading even to suicide, as had happened 

in many cases around the globe. 

Suddenly people are starting to talk about this online 

game called Blue Whale, and how it constitutes a threat 

to young lives, not just in Bengaluru, but the world over. 

With a view to warn the youth about the danger it 

poses to their very life, a Round Table was held at 

FKCCI on August 20 to discuss the “Responsibilities 

of Parents” in addressing the Blue Whale Challenge 

issue which as seen many youngsters committing 

suicide across the world. 

Addressing the participants, the FKCCI President 

observed that while digitization in India was increasing 

by leaps and bounds, paradoxically the users of digital 

tools had woefully inadequate knowledge about the 

implications of such usage. Dr. Shivanand Naik, a Child 

Psychologist who specializes in Graphology and handwriting 

analysis discussed the various behavioural 

traits that provide early indications of Children getting 

addicted to a game such as Blue Whale Challenge. 

The expert speakers highlighted the effects of Internet 

Addiction behind the Blue Whale Challenge and said that 

Internet is a powerful audio visual medium that can be 

used by psychopaths as is evidenced in the case of Blue 

Whale Game to brainwash and hypnotize the children. 

This technique can also be used for stealing financial 

informationoftheparentsleadingtofinancialcrimes. 

It was emphasized that Parents’ role is important in 

identifying the Internet Addiction of their children but 

they need to then take a pause and check if they are 

themselves setting a proper role model for their 

children and if not, first correct themselves. More 

than the Parents, Schools are better placed to take 

corrective action and they should not push the 

responsibility only to the parents. 

The Karnataka Government has taken note of the Blue 

Whale Challenge menace that is suspected to have 

pushedatleastthreeteenagerstosuicideinthecountry. 

Though no such deaths have been reported in the 

State yet, the Government wants to reach out to 

schools and colleges, besides educating the parents 

about the ill-effects of the game. The move comes 

close on the heels of the Centre asking internet 

companies to block links leading to the game. 

With no jurisdiction to control sites that provide access 

to this challenge—it is popular even on social media 

platforms—the Department of Women and Child 

Development has decided to take the awareness route 

to prevent children and teenagers from falling prey to 

the game. The Department is expected to reach out 

to parents and teachers among other stakeholders. 

The secret game 

Blue Whale Challenge, a global online challenge 

is derived from the beached whales phenomenon: 

where whales dehydrate themselves on the 

beach and eventually die 

The online game involves the participant 

performing 50 tasks on a given day. The last 

task is to commit suicide 

The tasks range from cutting one's skin to 

watching disturbing videos 

Each task is expected to be a secret 

No participant, once committed is allowed to 

leave the challenge 

Reports say that the game first started in Russia 

and has now become a global phenomenon 

The game has already claimed lives in Russia, 

Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, China, Columbia, 

Georgia etc.

Be Job-Creators rather than Job-Seekers: President to Youth 

The present problem of unemployment can only be 

solved when more youngsters aspire to become job 

creators rather than be content with finding a job, said 

Chief Guest, Sri K. Ravi, President, FKCCI chairing a 

two-day Workshop on Entrepreneurship & Small 

Business Development organized by Karnataka Arya 

Vysya Mahasabha with PETHAT team on behalf of 

NIESBUD (The National Institute of Entrepreneurship 

and Small Business Development under Ministry 

of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, GOI) at 

Sir MV Auditorium on August 4-5. 

Addressing the young participants, Ravi said 

“Entrepreneurship is an idea, an entrepreneur is an 

ideator, and ending unemployment is the ideal,” and 

said while there are many hurdles to cross and 

challenges to face, that should not inhibit them from 

foraying ahead, as the rewards that awaited them 

would not only more than compensate their sweat 

and toil, but be a turning point in their life, from where 

there was no looking back. 

The 2-day workshop was followed by a 15-day 

E Learning Certification Programme for the trainees 

who included a cross-section of Students, Business 

owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. The topics 

covered during the 15-day workshop ranged from the 

current traditional businesses to tech-based and 

futuristic Business models. 

Sri N.S. Srinivasa Murthy, Past President, FKCCI 

interacted with the trainees who were given 

participation certificates at the end of the workshop.

The corporate and business class would see the 

benefits accruing from GST only in the long run and 

we will have to tide over the teething troubles till then 

with patience till it settles down, Sri K. Ravi, 

President, FKCCI observed, at the one-day Seminar 

on Post-Impact of GST on Indian Economy/Business 

held at Sir MV Auditorium on August 18 chaired by 

Chief Guest, Dr. Parthasarathi Shome, Chairman, 

ITRAF & Former Chairman (Minister of State rank), 

Tax Administration Reform Commission, GoI. 

“GST is expected to bring greater transparency, 

improve compliance levels and create a common 

playing field for businesses by amalgamating a host 

of central and local taxes. It would change the current 

tax regime of production-based taxation to a 

consumption-based system. There is no doubt that 

the corporate and the business community would 

benefit once GST settles down. It is expected that the 

consumer would also reap the benefits of the new tax 

regime, once the corporates have transitioned 

completely to the new tax structure and start to pass 

on the benefits to the end user,” Sri Ravi said, adding 

that a mega policy change of such a huge nature is 

sure to be riddled with teething troubles. Some of the 

taxpayers have also identified the difficulties of GST 

implementation which could be a cause for worry for 

some industries. Pointing out that the FKCCI has 

consistently supported GST through the years, 

working with State and Central Governments on its 

shape it has played a big role in its successful rollout by 

holding more then150 GST Workshops across the 

State while also organizing GST Helpdesks for the 

benefit of industry. He also thanked the Commercial 

Taxes Dept and Central Taxes & Customs Department 

for setting up Helpdesk on GST at FKCCI premises. 

Delivering the keynote address, Dr. Parthasarathi

Skill development in Industry 4.0 critical for India: K. Ravi, President, FKCCI 

For India to capture a larger share of the ‘industrial 

revolution 4.0’ it would require investment in highquality 

skills related to applied science and technology, 

engineering, quantitative and social analysis, design 

and product development, said Sri K. Ravi, President, 

FKCCI, while taking part as a Panellist in a Panel 

Discussion on Role of Technical Institutions in 

Making India Industry 4.0 Ready, convened as part of 

the two-day Conference on ‘Industry 4.0: Engineering 

the Interface with Real World’ by the Indian 

Technology Conference at NIMHANS Convention 

Centre on August 10-11. The discussion was chaired 

by Dr. S.S. Iyengar, FIEEE, Rider Professor & Director, 

School of Computing & Information Sciences, Florida 

International University, Florida, USA. 

ABemoaning the quality of teaching required for 

inculcating Industrialisation 4.0, Sri Ravi called for 

four critical interventions viz. involving the private 

sector; finding innovative ways to finance the 

development of advanced curriculum; integration 

with industrial and applied training; and developing a 

sustainable pool of next-gen teachers and trainers. 

Acknowledging that the Government has made a 

good start with the Make in India and Skill India 

programmes, the FKCCI President explained why 

skill development in Industry 4.0 is critical for India, 

asserting that adoption of Industry 4.0 will result in 

elimination of lower skilled jobs through automation 

and the increase in productivity could result in an 

overall reduction in the number of jobs available. With 

the increased automation levels, Industry 4.0 will 

result in shifting of key value adding activities back to 

the developed economies which will result in further 

reduction of jobs in the low cost manufacturing 

countries. Given high dependence on low skill labour 

in India, Industry 4.0 will have a big impact, unless we 

make skilling Indians a reality. “The next generation 

manufacturing Industry 4.0 can be won through 

technology, innovation and skill development and 

educational institutions play a pivotal for the success 

of Industry 4.0 in India,” he summed up. 

The experts participating in the Panel discussion 

covered a range of issues viz. academic Initiatives from 

a global perspective to meet Industry 4.0 challenges; 

accelerated learning and development strategies and 

Online Learning through MOOCs; professional bodies’ 

perspectives - Challenges and Opportunities for SME 

sector in Industry 4.0 Scenario and Expectations from 

AcademicInstitutions;Industry4.0-aBosch Experience; 

modernization of Factories, Investments and Bankers’ 

perspectives on long term and medium term financing; 

and challenges for Indian Higher Education.

Contributor’s Column 

Lessons from the Infosys Fiasco - I 

D. Muralidhar, Past President, FKCCI 

The dust is settling down on the rumblings at India’s most well known 

IT behemoth, Infosys. This is clear from the fact that it is moving away 

from the glare of the print media and the TV media. Within the 

organization, it seems to be mercifully business as usual. But for all of 

us Bengaloreans who have grown up hearing the hoary success story 

of Infosys and how it captured the imagination of the country, the very 

public squabble was quite disappointing and embarrassing. 

The story of Infosys is the story of new and liberalised India. The 

humble beginnings of the company, its founder’s middle class 

background and the humongous success they achieved which also 

created wealth to the employees and investors is a part of the much 

celebrated folklore of the Indian IT industry. The other notable 

players like TCS and Wipro of the day grew from a different stock and 

never received such attention, recognition and acclaim. Somehow 

the story of Infosys became a preferred topic for discussion and 

inspired many technocrats and wannabe entrepreneurs to look at 

India as a possible choice for setting up enterprises, especially in the 

field of information technology. 

Infosys was undoubtedly one of the anchor industries for the fast 

growth of IT and related business in Bengaluru. The spin-off from 

Infosys’ success rubbed off on other businesses and the world 

started to take Indian businesses seriously. It's difficult to quantify 

the feel-good factor associated with this phenomenon, own 

experience being just a testimony. The other businesses like 

manufacturing which suffered from a inherent "made in India" 

disadvantage, suddenly saw a change in the perception of 

international trading community, about the capabilities of Indian 

products and services. The impact got amplified with other various 

changes in the Indian milieu, but the benefit of initial torque belongs 

to these pioneering IT businesses 

Infosys today is a 10 billion dollar company with more than two lac 

employees located in many parts of the world. The founders led by 

Narayana Murthy managed the business till 2014 and handed over 

the reins to a professional board of management. During their time, 

the promoters ran the company with impeccable quality of corporate 

governance and transparency. Normally, it's a huge challenge for 

any fast growing organisation to ramp up internal systems without 

sacrificing the effective founding principles and governance, but 

Infosys with its promoters-driven management never lost sight 

of these needs and kept raising the bar of corporate governance.

We Have Genuine Investors From 10 To 500 Crores We Are Also Looking For Associates For Capital Raising 

The Karnataka government is 

planning an Electric Vehicle and 

Energy Storage Policy with the aim 

of making Bengaluru the electric 

vehicle capital of the country. With 

this Karnataka will be the first State 

in the country to have such an 

exclusive policy. This announcement, 

by the Government of Karnataka, 

assumed significance immediately 

after the State-run Energy Efficiency 

Service Ltd’s (EESL) tender for 

procuring 10,000 electric cards and 

4,000 chargers for coal, mines, 

power and new and renewable 

energy ministries in Government of 

India as well as providing them on 

rent to other departments in the 

Government of India.
