"We have planned to provide a maximum of Rs 30 lakh as House Construction Advance (HCA) to help government employees and teachers have their own houses," Modi said here. Along with the new HCA scheme , the previous scheme under which government employees were given a maximum loan of Rs 7.50 lakh would run concurrently, he said. Modi said that Government employees and teachers in the state capital or at any district headquarters could withdraw the HCA amount from any branch of the Central Bank of India within a fortnight of signing the standard form of the agreement. "HCA will be sanctioned at base interest rate as fixed by the bank as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines," he added. "Under the HCA scheme, the state government will be a guarantor to ensure through drawing and disbursal officers that equal monthly installments as fixed by the bank would be regularly deducted from the employees' salary," Modi said. A decision to enhance the HCA from Rs 7.50 lakh to Rs 30 lakh was taken in conformity with the recommendations of the Bihar state administrative reforms commission, Modi said, claiming the bank would not even charge processing fees for the loans given under HCA. The HCA loan would be applicable for buying land, building houses, expansion of existing homes, buying flats or houses and repair of old houses.  |

“Canada is the best country on the planet, especially for people like us,” says Jha who has political ambitions. In fact, the political climate in Canada today may be just right for this conservative Indo-Canadian who is clearly honing his political skills. He co-founded a software company, Isopia Inc., after having a successful career at Bell Canada as general manager for e-business and product marketing. Jha’s philanthropic interests are as varied as his business pursuits. They range from education projects in Nepal to entrepreneurial initiatives for First Nations youth in Canada. “When I came to Canada in 1994, I saw a First World country with pockets of Third World for its aboriginal peoples, and that’s where I thought I could contribute,” he says. He founded his private charitable foundation, POA Educational Foundation, in 2001, and has created endowments at four institutions- Ryerson University, York University, Trent University and George Brown College in Ontario. They give out a total of 13 awards ($42,000 annually) in perpetuity to students. “Forever, I will be a middle-class guy. So wherever my money goes, I am hands-on. I juggle several balls, and consequently some gets dropped and then I pick them up and carry on,”he admits. “I have seen some results but I know I can have more success and more focus with more professionals. But that requires more resources and the luxury of more time.” Yet, he says, the nature of an entrepreneur is steeped in chaos. “We thrive and fail because of chaos. In my life, I have had many, many downs, along with the ups,” he says.”I am more humble for my failures than elated by my success.” Today, Jha is the Canadian government’s appointee to the Board of Directors of First Nations Financial Management Board; he is a member of the Ontario Investment & Trade Advisory Council and advisory council member to the dean of the School of Social Services at Ryerson University. He has served as a board member of two Toronto Stock Exchange-listed public companies, is a charter member of the mentoring group, The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), and has also served on the board of the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the Institute of Corporate Directors. Jha is the national convenor of the influential Canada India Foundation that focuses on public policy advocacy for a deeper engagement in with India. He led the signing of $10 million endowment for setting up the Canada India Public Policy Centre at the University of Waterloo. He works closely with several successful Indo-Canadians in guiding their philanthropic giving to mainstream causes. The role of the Indian diaspora, Jha contends, cannot be underestimated and as Indians are respected in the countries they adopt, so does the respect for India increase. “I believe, India will have unique answer to the four debates facing the world at the beginning of the 21st century economic development versus liberal democracy; pluralism versus fundamentalism; globalization versus democratization of prosperity; and global diaspora versus net gain for adopted and native countries, Jha says  |
