As a government enterprise, a huge order for Boing wide-body aircraft were placed as a quid pro quo for Americans agreeing for civil nuclear deal during UPA-1 deal. Operationally, for a small airline like AI, such huge expansion was not viable.

Several bilateral seat sharing agreements with Gulf emirates such as Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and some more were signed giving away Air India cash cow routes to their state-owned airlines. Even our own Jet Airways got a share!

Politicians, government officials, employees (both current % retired) and their families traveled free, often in business class.

AT least two B-777-300ER were reserved for VVIP flights. (count the number of foreign jaunts of Modi since 2014)

How Tata Sons will accommodate these issues is worth a follow up story.

TATA s taking over Air India- the news is music to ears! A brilliant organization failed miserably due to usual corruption! From now on the story would be different. Even Tim Clark CEO of Emirates accepted stiff competition. People are aware of Quality of TATA s. He has shown to the world transformation of humble positioned Jaguar and Land Rover.
Wonderful article with good informative on basics. Thanks to Philip!

May your soul rest in peace Fr. Mathew Vas. You are the only Priest who spoke to us the truth about not paying the land consideration by Udupi Church in 1991 secretly entering land deal without the knowledge of anyone even our parish.

Nice to see this programme and the motivational talk by Pritish Burton D’Sa. It is an excellent platform to motivate the fellow citizens to different careers with the proven achievement of Pritish as a case example. I am very happy about it. Given the background of Pritish, he can also contribute some awareness sessions for the people of Moodubelle in financial planning, investments, importance of nominations and will etc. in Indian scenario. I wish him all the best for his career and future endeavors. Let many and many people , students etc. get motivated by the achievement of Pritish.

Though she is my friend but I treat her as my guru and in my life I want to be like her ,in the field of knowledge,humbleness and patient caring.I learnt a lot from her.

Excellent Article Mr. Philip. Hope the Karnataka Govt. Opens its eyes and takes the right decisions, unlike UP and Assam. Also Udipi district admn.

A wonderful article on current situation backed by facts and statistics and the topic widely being discussed. Author has also touched upon de-growth in Europe. May be such headlines by politicians are used tor diverting attention from burning issues and pandemic effects. Only developing countries have high ratio population growth, though not all. While current ruling is advocating for population control, their ring leaders calling hindus to produce more! What a biased thought process. Today, irrespective of religion couples are having one or two kids mostly with exception. If we think in secular manner all is going to be fine. Such policies may divide India and may trigger negative growth due to disharmony amongst communities and that s what political think tanks target I guess. In general I would sum up that its a wrong strategy(sly) at such a difficult pandemic time.

Itis indeed great pleasure to great Mr Valeran Noronha oa ia a workholic and he will not rest until takes the projects to logical ends. So there is no hesitation that the club will rise to new heights of glory. I wish him and his team all the best and look forward to read their performance through the columns of Belle vision vepiry eagerly. Wishing them goodluck again.
