चार लोग तो चाहिये, अकसर इस जरूरत का अहसास करवा ही दिया जाता है जीवन यात्रा के उद्भव से, इस चेतना में चलते चलते आपकी पहुँच आपकी पहचान बनती चली जाती है। चार, चार हज़ार चार लाख या चार करोड़। यह पहुँच केवल मात्रा मात्र है या उसके आगे भी कुछ, भीड़ के बीच अकेला, कुँए का मेंढक , स्पर्श विहीन, पहुच से लाभ पाने की असीमित लालसा, स्वयं के लिए नहीं तो परिवार के लिए नहीं तो मित्र के लिए । अंत अकस्मात् होता है पर तैयारी जीवन भर । समाज के साथ भी और साथ ही सेंध लगाते अस्तित्व । दोगला जीवन। सामाजिक सहमति प्राप्त यह व्यवस्था जैसे श्रष्टि का संवाद बन गई है, कोई अंगुली नहीं उड़्ती। पहुच के बल पर रतन टाटा ने सरकारी नियम का संशोधन जो केवल टाटा समूह के लिए ही मान्य है , करवाया क्योंकि उन्हें लगता था कि इस नियम से समूह के अस्तित्व को खतरा हो सकता था ( कंपनी एक्ट सेक्शन 153A , किसी ट्रस्ट को सीधा किसी कंपनी की बोर्ड बैठक में मत देने का अधिकार नहीं ) अब यह कहना मुश्किल है कि उन्होंने अपना कंधा दिया, ख्याति पाई या वाकई पूँजीवादी विचारधारा से प्रभावित रहे। ऊपर चित्र में जिमी टाटा, रतन टाटा के छोटे भाई, जो ...

Sooner you understand 'give and take' better it is. Some say life is not all about accounting. Some believe and look for reciprocity to take next move. Relationships grow amongst equals. Is it necessary and only condition? I give 100 to someone, should I expect 100 back? Is it true transaction universally across all relationships be it spouse, daughter, son, friend, servant, customer, client. God is the only one exception- a supreme imagined reality who gives without asking, however some believe you need to please Him for His KRIPA (favor) to receive His bounties,some link it to the KARMA (actions present birth & past birth) for all this dynamics. Material or spiritual there is a concept of reciprocity, apparent or veiled. Let us delve deeper. Every Life like a book contains many pages, a log of interactions, transactions relations in this world, conscious and subconscious, degree varies across- depending on the environment that an individual is lead through. As an O...

रिश्ते स्वाभाविक हैं या अपनाए जाते हैं चिरकाल से हम इसी असमंजस में रहे हैं । यदि स्वाभाविक होते तो समाज संगठित करने की आवश्यकता ही क्या रही होगी, क्या मनुष्य अकेला नहीं रह सकता, कहा जाता है, किसी ज़माने में ये रहा होगा परंतु अब तो तकनीकीकरण ने इतना विवश कर दिया है कि समाज में मिलकर चलना एक दुविधा सी लगने लगी है, क्या यह सही है ? 66 साल की एक विधवा इतनी विवश हुई कि जब वह रात सो नहीं पाई, उसने अपने मनोचिकित्सक को phone कर रात दो बजे अपनी व्यथा सुनाई,”मेरे बच्चे कहते हैं मैं इससे बाहर निकल पाऊँगी, उनके पिता का जाना, समय मुझे उनके सानिध्य को भूला देगा, मुझे कुछ कोशिश करनी चाहिए, क्या होगा अगर मैं यह न कर पाई”। मनोचिकित्सक ने क़रीब 45 minute तक उस अकेली के साथ बात करते हुए उसके बीते हुए समय की याद जो वह भुला नहीं पा रही थी, साझा की। उस महिला की मनोदशा इससे कुछ सुधरी। यहाँ क्या यह समझा जाय कि पति से रिश्ता उसके लिए बोझ है, अगर वह बंधनमुक्त होती या रिश्ते की साझेदारी इतनी भी मीठी न रहती कि उसका बिखरना असहनीय हो जाए, एक परिपक्व विश्लेषण नहीं होगा। विरोधाभास है अगर तो स्त्री पुरुष की बदलती ह...

Most difficult in current world is to stay positive. Not that we like negativity but certainly there is something in negativity that lures us. Adrenalin flow ? The kick of it and the addiction.Repetitive shower of impulses abundantly thrown in space every other day seduces every human mind in heat of self ego. Many a time recourse to history is taken to justify something that a normal human being would abhor.That reference takes us away from current realities to unknown of past.For example a war amongst human is not normal. Consequences of war is born by mass of humanity. How such a notion (war) is surviving? In fact growing. Cooperation concept is a positive stimuli.We would never know gains of something that we label utopian. A course that would reshuffle all targets is tagged anti establishment and shunned. A perfect path to sustainability might create opportunities beyond imagination as wisdom of community is less harmful than wisdom of a person. With host of data and information p...

Human society lives and propagates concept of a Leader.Rightly or wrongly role of a leader is placed as mandatory. A World without a leader is beyond imagination. Have you ever asked, why? Simply because the concept is so firmly placed and reaffirmed at every stage of life and in each of human endowments be an organization, institution, family or social setup. It is possible in today's environment of enabling technology with years of wisdom that exists on earth to eliminate the position of a Leader. Artificial Intelligence(misnomer nomenclature floated for writing algorithms of events and generate options for way forward digitally is another act to live with assumed realities of past), Why call it Artificial? It is possible today to generate outcomes which are beyond comprehension of a person with organic brain, based on avaiable data of events related directly or indirectly.Target is for chosing and that must be set by consensus in a community. Here is role of cooperatives. Co...

What is the parameter to measure success or failure of a cooperative? Search must be driven by differences with IOF, a normal corporate set up under company law in India, to a cooperative rather than looking at similarities. The spirit of cooperation transcends from stakeholders down to the front line of a successful cooperative organization. Organization structure if not rigid provides flexibility. Social physics of human collaboration is too complex to be mechanically embedded as in concrete reality or oriented on autonomous logic independent of environment and history such as propounded by neo-classical economics pervasive in business today. US agricultural cooperatives are successful, and many have their market value higher than the book value in many cases. Success for a cooperative however is more to do with the contribution to the community of interests (e.g., for an agriculture cooperative- education, information dissemination, farm inputs, infrastructure, market developm...

Government is formulating a new policy for cooperative sector. Dialogue seems to be restricted on issues like legal framework, identification of regulatory policy, operational barriers, level playing field to cooperatives, account keeping and auditing. Parliamentary standing committee advises to exercise prudence while chalking out activities so that federal features are not impinged upon. Cooperative is primarily a state subject in India as per the seventh schedule of constitution. A Multi-State Cooperative Act 1980 introduced at Centre for a purpose, last amended in 2002 by the center government, is likely to be tweaked once again. It seems necessary for improved operations in multiple states while providing a boost to action in this domain for higher investment. Cooperatives were under the administrative control of Ministry of Agriculture till July 2021. A structural shift has happened at top from a subset to an independent set up, a right move to unshackle from agriculture. New m...
