Driven by a healthy order book, Era Infra Engineering Ltd., the flagship company of the Era group of companies, has posted gravity-defying growth, marked by 62.30 increase in net sales for fiscal 2008-09.

The unwavering focus on the company's core construction business, which accounts for almost 75 per cent of its business, contributed to the significant topline growth, while a boost in other income, coupled with slower growth in interest rates, helped the company record excellent growth in the bottomline.

The company has clearly and consistently aligned its growth strategy to constant transformation of India's infrastructural strengths to scale them to global benchmarks of excellence. The financial results for 2008-09 vindicate the company's focused business approach. The results are also a clear endorsement of the strength of the company's short and long term strategies, which are centered around a

philosophy of unwavering concentration on growth and transformation.

A healthy order book encompassing several big-ticket orders is just one manifestation of the company's success story. What is truly remarkable is that the bulk of this order book - 75 per cent - is contributed by the public sector, with only 25 per cent coming from the private sector. This was one of the biggest drivers of the company's excellent growth during the year as it helped in insulating the company to a large extent from the recessionary impact of the global slowdown on the Indian private sector.

Strong execution skills and a commitment to deliver the best at all times were the other key factors behind the sustained growth during fiscal 2008-09.

The company's core strengths, which have ensured consistent growth, include its diverse experience spanning 20 years, diversified geographic presence endowing it with a pan-India status, diversified customer base, diverse size and scale of contracts with the ability to offer single-point turnkey solutions and diversified presence across sectors: airports, railways, highways, pre-engineered buildings, power, industrial p ro jec t s and ins t i tu t ions , u rban infrastructure, residential and commercial complexes, hydroelectricity.

Era Infra Engineering Ltd., a fully integrated infrastructure development company, is participating in India's core infrastructure and construction sectors. The equity shares of the company are listed at the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock

Exchange. The Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) are listed at the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) are listed at the Stock Exchange of Singapore.

An ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certified company with more than two decades of extensive experience in the field of infrastructure development, Era Infra Engineering has a proven track record of over 200 completed projects and more than 70 ongoing projects. The company, in its growth odyssey, has serviced some of the most prestigious clients across both the public and private sectors.

Some of the company's prestigious clients include: Airports Authority of India Ltd., National Highway Authority of India, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd., Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd., National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd., Power Grid Corporation of India, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., Steel Authority of India Ltd., Delhi State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd., Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation Ltd., National Aluminium Company Ltd., National Hydro-Electric Power Corporation Ltd., Bharati Airtel Ltd., Videocon Industries Ltd., Sahara Group, amongst others.

With the objective of capitalizing on the prospects unfolding in the infrastructure development space, the company has set up strategic business divisions representing well structured, robust and scalable business lines: Construction and Contracts, EPC & In te rna t iona l , Equ ipment Management and Ready Mix Concrete.

Corporate HR Department planned an HR meet on 30th July, 2009 in order to make all the HR minds meet and discuss creativity on HR Activities. The purpose was also to share the views of individual towards facing a particular problem. At Corporate, we had also planned a small training where the youngsters would get exposed to the PF/ESI and other Labour Acts., beside other HR activities like Recruitment, Selection etc.

The meeting was conducted at the newly created Training Hall in the Basement of Sector 62 and was attended by almost 20 HR personnel from all the group companies.

The meeting had numerous discussion on the workings, Statutory formalities and HR activities.

Ravi Srivastava, Pradeep Kumar, Maneesha Karkee and Rachna Sharma made a small presentation on PF/ESI, Payroll processing, Training and Development respectively.

Rakesh Chandel from Corporate shared his experiences on Head Hunting and Recruitment strategies. He also stressed his views on Referral selections.

In all it was discussed that HR needed to be more active and anticipative. The market is on a verge of recovery and growth and we at HR need to ensure higher retention processes and policies. It was further discussed that we need to continue back with schemes like Employee of the Month, Meet your CEO, Departmental Meetings as this not only opens the mindset of our employees but also gives growth to Employee engagement and suggestions.

We had taken a new initiative of starting the PF trust, which would be beneficial to the employee and employer.

It was further observed by all that such kind of meetings should be held regularly and if not bi-weekly then atleast once in a month. It was also decided that from the next month onwards, HR representatives form the sites shall also be invited to participate in this meet which will provide much more interaction among the HO and sites.

The meeting was attended by all the Group Company's HR Heads beside the Corporate HR Head.

It was such a productive, thoughtful and informative session that it is been proposed to hold such sessions in between all other departments.

Distribution

Power distribution consists of laying, strengthening and maintaining the network of 11kV lines or feeders downstream of the 33kV substation. Each 11kV feeder which emanates from the 33kV substation branches further into several subsidiary 11kV feeders to carry power close to the load points (localities, industrial areas, villages, etc.). At these load points, a transformer further reduces the voltage from 11kV to 415V to provide the last-mile connection through 415V feeders (also called Low Tension (LT) feeders) to individual customers, either at 240V (as single-phase supply) or at 415V (as three-phase supply).

The distribution networks are primarily owned and operated by the state governments or their utilities like State Electricity Boards, DISCOMs etc. The distribution networks are managed at the state level and continue to be

affected by high technical and commercial losses (AT&C), estimated at around 35%. This implies that 35% of the power entered into the system is lost during distribution. Both the Central and State Governments are committed to reduce the AT&C to below 15%.

The Government of India has launched various power reforms policy, like APDRP (Accelerated Power Development & Reform Programme) and RGGVY (Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyut Yojana), laying emphasis on performance of the distribution utilities and linking various grants to achievement. The distribution reforms need huge investment in order to achieve the targeted T&D loss of less than 15%.

Accelerated Power Development Reforms Programme

The scheme was launched in 2002-2003 as additional Central Assistance to the States

for strengthening and upgradation of sub-transmission and distribution system. 50% incentives were given to SEBs /utilities to reduce their financial losses for actual cash loss reduction.

Restructured APDRP (R-APDRP) in 11th Plan

The focus of the recently approved Restructured APDRP (R-APDRP) in 11th Plan and beyond is on actual, demonstrable performance in terms of loss reduction. State power utilities are expected to reduce AT&C losses to 15%. The utilities are also to achieve the following target of AT&C loss reduction for the utility as a whole:

• Utilities having AT&C loss above 30%: Reduction by 3% per year.

• Utilities having AT&C loss below 30%: Reduction by 1.5% per year.

Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana

RGGVY aims at electrification of 1,25,000 un-electrified villages and un-electrified hamlets, and electrification of 7.8 crore households. The estimated cost of the scheme (including 11th Plan) was Rs. 16,000 cores approximately, and Rs. 5,000 crores was earmarked for capital subsidy in phase–I during the 10th Plan period.

Electrification of un-electrified Below Poverty Line (BPL) households will be financed with 100% capital subsidy, as per norms of Kutir Jyoti Programme in all rural habitations. Households above poverty line will be paying for their connections at prescribed connection charges and no subsidy will be available for this purpose.

contribute towards fulfilling the future needs of the power sector and has made a humble but firm beginning.

Concept of work culture

One evening, a scholar was addressing some participants on the concept of work culture. One of the participants asked the following question:

"I am a senior manager of Materials Department and I joined an organization 25 years ago as Engineer Trainee, and over the last 25 years I have gone through every experience in the organization. During the initial part of my career, the job was very challenging and interesting. However, all those exciting days are gone since I do not find my joy any more interesting because there is nothing new in my job. I am now feeling bored because I am doing a routine job. However, Sir, I am living in the same house for over forty years, I am the son of the same parents for over forty five years, I am the father of the same children for the past ten years and the husband of the same lady for the past twenty years!! In these personal

roles, I do not feel bored. Please tell me why I am bored of the routine in the office and not in the house?"

The response from the scholar was very interesting and convincing. He asked the executive:

"Please tell me for whom does your Mother cook?"

The executive replied that obviously the mother cooks for others.

Then the scholar said that the mother "Serves" others, and because of this orientation, she is not feeling tired or bored. But in an office, we "Work" and not "Serve". Anything we consider as service will not make us feel bored. That is the difference between 'Serving' and 'Working'. He asked the executive to consider his work as service

and not merely as work.

This was a very interesting analysis. Whenever you put a larger context around your work and see a broader meaning for your work, you will take interest in your work and it will make a very big difference in your internal energy.

Attitude Matters!!!

If you think you are working for the organization, you will get frustrated. If you feel you are doing a service and getting some service charges, you will feel happy. After all, doing what you like is freedom, but liking what you do is happiness!!!

'I know you will come'

Happy friendship day

Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his fallen comrade back.

"You can go," said the Lieutenant, "but I don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away."

The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway. Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend. "I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded."

"It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier.

"What do you mean by worth it?" responded the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead."

"Yes Sir," the soldier answered, "but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say....'Jim...I knew you'd come.'

Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it. Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in your life........

"Let the spirit of friendship not die. "

The empty jar & 2 cups of coffee

“When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the story of the empty jar and 2 cups of coffee.”

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the

entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family, children, health, friends, and favouite passions – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter Like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff.''If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So,

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play with your children.

Take time to get medical checkups.

Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.'

'Take care of the golf balls first - The things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked'.

'It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend.'

Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan in Indian History

The traditional Hindu festival 'Raksha Bandhan' (knot of protection) originated about 6000 years back when Aryans created the first civilization - The Indus Valley Civilization. With many languages and cultures, the traditional method of celebrating the festival differs from place to place across India. Following are some historical evidences of Raksha Bandhan celebrations from Indian history.

Rani Karnawati and Emperor Humayun

The story of Rani Karnavati and Emperor Humayun is the most significant evidence in history. During the medieval era, Rajputs were fighting Muslim invasions. Rakhi, at that time, meant a spiritual binding and protection of sisters was foremost. When Rani Karnawati, the widowed queen of the king of Chittor, realised that she could in no way defend the invasion of the Sultan of Gujarat, Bahadur Shah, she sent a rakhi to Emperor Humayun. The Emperor, touched by the gesture, started off with his troops without wasting any time.

Alexander the Great and King Puru

The oldest reference to the festival of Rakhi goes back to 300 B.C. at the time when Alexander invaded India. It is said that the great conqueror, King Alexander of Macedonia was shaken by the fury of the Indian King Puru in his first attempt. Upset by this, Alexander's wife, who had heard of the Rakhi festival, approached King Puru. King Puru accepted her as his sister and when the opportunity came during the war, he refrained from attacking Alexander.

Lord Krishna and Draupathi

In order to protect the good people, Lord Krishna killed the evil King Shishupal. Krishna was hurt during the war and left with a bleeding finger. Seeing this, Draupathi tore a strip of cloth from her sari and tied it around his wrist to stop the bleeding. Lord Krishna, realizing her affections and concern for him, declared himself bounded by her sisterly love. He promised her to repay this debt whenever she need in future. Many years later, when the Pandavas lost Draupathi in the game of dice and the Kauravas were removing her saari, Krishna helped her by divinely elongating the saari so that they could not remove it.

King Bali and Goddess LakshmiThe demon king Mahabali was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. Because of his immense devotion, Vishnu had taken the task of protecting Bali's kingdom, leaving his normal place in Vikundam. Goddess Lakshmi, the wife of Lord Vishnu, became sad because of this as she wanted Lord Vishnu to be back with her. So she went to Bali as a Brahmin woman and took refuge in his palace. On Shravana Purnima, she tied Rakhi on King Bali's wrist and then revealed who she was and why she was there. The king was touched by her gesture and by Lord Vishnu's goodwill and affection towards him and his family, Bali requested Lord Vishnu to accompany her to Vaikuntam. Due to this, the festival is also called Baleva as a mark of Bali Raja's devotion to the Lord Vishnu. It is said that since that day, it has become a tradition to invite sisters on Sravan Pournima to tie the sacred thread of Rakhi or Raksha Banddan.

Relationships are the essence of celebration and it holds true for any Indian festival. Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of one such relation – the relation of a brother and a sister. Raksha Bandhan is a festival which celebrates the bond of affection between brothers and sisters. It is a day when the siblings pray for each others' well being and wish for each others' happiness and goodwill.

The name 'Raksha Bandhan' suggests 'a bond of protection'.

• To the outside world, we all grow old but not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private

family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.

• A brother is a friend given by Nature.

• A brother shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams.

• Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there.

HAPPY RAKSHA BANDHAN…

Independence Day

Important facts about Independence Day

1) We Share our Independence day with 3 other Countries.

a. South Korea – Aug 15 from Japan in 1945

b. Bahrain - Aug 15 from UK in 1971

c. Republic of the Congo – Aug 15 from France in 1960

2) Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his famous speech titled “Tryst with Destiny” towards midnight on 14th August 1947 to the Indian Constituent Assembly. He was not technically the Prime Minister as it wasn't yet 15th August. Nehru, the next day unfurled the Indian Tri-Color flag over the Council Hall and declared India Independent.

3) The r ea son Pak i s t an ha s i t s Independence day on Aug 14th is probably because of 2 things:-

a. Due to a clash of Ceremonies to be held for Transfer of Power, one which was in Karachi and another in Delhi, August 14th was chosen to be Pakistan's Independence Day so that Mountbatten could attend both the ceremonies.

b. Pakistan also adapted a new Standard Time after partition which was 30 min behind Indian Time. Hence, if India was Independent at 12 AM on Aug 15th 1947, then Pakistan would be on 14th August at 11.30 PM.

4) The Indian Independence Act 1947 was a statute enacted by the British Parliament which partitioned India and the created the Independent dominions of Pakistan and India. The Act received Royal British assent on July 18, 1947. Then the date of setting up of dominions(India/Pakistan) was fixed as 15th of August 1947 in this act. Hence 15th Of Augus t became our Independence Day.

5) Midnight's Children, Salman Rushdie's book, is set after the Independence and Partition of India. The narrator and main character of the story is Saleem Sinai. Saleem is born at the exact moment that India becomes independent on Aug 15th 1947. Saleem Sinai's life reflects the changing fortunes of the country after independence. The name Midnight's Children is a reference to all people born at the stroke of Midnight on

Aug 15th 1947. In fact Rushdie himself was born on June 19th 1947.

6) Mark Twain, the famous American Writer said this about India. “India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.”

Does all this apply in 2009?. Everyday we see new riots, instability and a loss of moral values. Pledge that we will change India and uphold what India stands for and fights for. Unity in Diversity. If India fails in this, the world will surely follow.
