Today, India is discussing two (2) different news. The Union Cabinet, chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, approved the Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme for offshore wind energy projects at a total outlay of Rs. 7453 Crores, including an outlay of Rs. 6853 Crores for installation and commissioning of 1 GW of offshore wind energy projects (500 MW each off the coast of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu), and grant of Rs. 600 Crores for up-gradation of two ports to meet logistics requirements for offshore wind energy projects. The successful commissioning of these offshore wind projects will produce renewable electricity of about 3.72 billion units annually, which will result in the annual reduction of 2.98 million tons of CO2ย equivalent emission for a period of 25 years.
Earlier today, the Hon’ble PM inaugurated the newย campus of Nalanda Universityย at Rajgir in Bihar,ย close to its ancient remnants. He also planted a sapling as he inaugurated the campus. The inauguration ceremony was attended by several distinguished individuals, including heads of missions from 17 countries. The campus is designed as a ‘Net Zero’ Green Campus, making it self-sustaining with the help of solar plants, domestic and drinking water treatment plants, a water recycling plant for reusing wastewater, 100 acres of water bodies, and numerous other environment-friendly facilities.
The common thread in both the news illustrated above, is the focus on a bright future for the people โ education and environment โ technology being an enabler. Contemplating these events of hope, the sight of a thermal power plant emitting harmful gases to the environment flashed, captured while visiting the city of Jhansi, more than a decade ago on an official assignment. It again reminds us of an urgent need to take urgent steps to abate the harmful impacts of the pollution by fossil by implementing suitable De-SOx or FGD, Decarbonisation measures, etc.
Incidentally, June 18 is a day of remembrance for Jhansi (and Bharat), famous for being the princely state whose legendaryQueen Laxmi Bai, dressed as a man, got killed in the combat while leading the war for independence against the British empire 166 years ago. Some believe that the Rani (Queen) did not want the British forces to capture her body and told hermit to burn it. She, among others, inspired generations of freedom fighters whose resolute struggles led to Indiaโs independence.
The contemporary challenges facing us are diverse, and we, the society and our leadership, must strive for a sustainable habitat, cleaner air, and healthy living conditions for progenies. This will be our real tribute the ‘Rani’ ๐ธ

Just Convince Self – Not Others
Whatโs your favorite thing about yourself?
In behavioural discourse, we often hear that the easiest thing is to change oneself rather than trying to change others – being in personal or professional situations.
I believe, accepting the fact that we can move toward solutions by adapting to any given situation by negotiating with ourselves. We know what is good for self and see the situation from the perspective of resolving it and not escalate it, when not needed.
I would not mind learning from anyone and accepting that there might be an alternate version of the same story. At the end, it has to be the amicable way out, I shall put my effort in that direction.
Believe in self. Be the winner.

Cost of Quality (COQ) in the Journey of Excellence for an Organization ๐
We always find people looking for quality in the products and services they acquire. Professionals define โqualityโ as something which meets or better still, exceeds the specification originally envisaged. Any organization would aspire to be known as a provider of such offerings for its stakeholders โ the people, the government or regulatory bodies, the customers, the suppliers, and the society, at large.
There are various measures of organizational improvement and many methodologies and tools are employed to assess and work upon the areas to move up in the journey toward excellence by any organization. Taking up transformational initiatives help companies become fit for the future by implementing effective and efficient processes by overcoming the blind spots in their functioning.
Executives are cautious in opting for Quality measures in their operations as there is cost involved in anything not understood properly. Therefore, it is important to understand the Cost of quality (COQ), which is defined as a method to assess the cost of ensuring offerings meet quality standards, as well as the cost of creating goods or services that fail to meet such standards. The COQ can be categorized into four (4) major types:
๐Preventive: Associated cost for reducing the potential for defective products/ services. (Re)Skilling and Training, Knowledge sharing, etc.
๐Assurance: Inspection of products, parts, processes would need a quality assurance plan. Costs associated with the evaluation and assessment of offerings like laboratories, inspecting personnel, testing, etc. are examples of such costs.
๐Internal failure: Producing defective components or services (before delivery to intended clients) would need corrective measures such as rework, rejection, resultant downtime of production processes, and add to the cost to quality.
๐External failure: Returned or rejected equipments, loss of goodwill, loss of brand name, etc. (no repeat order or punitive action by client, etc.) are some of the cost aspects which come to light after delivery of the goods or services to the clients.
The costs associated with external failure are difficult to assess and many times, have worse intangible impact than the tangible one. Professionals have to deal with the factors affecting the Cost of Quality in more than one way, so as to deliver value to Customers in their journey to excellence.

Be a Child with the Kids
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
Many times, acts which are often termed as ‘trivial’ make us experience pure bliss.
Acting like a kid in front of the kids act as a source of joy. Mimicking and even lisping while having the discussion with the kids on their favourite topic works as a stress buster.
Playing ‘Atlas’ or similar games; doing cooking as they wish, etc. bring happiness to me. Participating in making a doodle or something like a sand work at a beach is another act of kids which I would cherish.
Love it!
