It had signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Canada in 2010 that allowed them to initiate negotiations for uranium supply from Canada.
India is also keen on buying crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Canada on long-term basis to meet its vast and growing energy needs. After his meeting with the Prime Minister, both countries inked three pacts including the India-Canada Audio-Visual Co-production Agreement.
This agreement between the Ministry of Information and the Broadcasting and Heritage, Canada, will open doors for audio-visual collaborations between the two countries. As per the pact, co-productions will receive national treatment in both the countries.
Another pact for collaboration between the Department of Biotechnology and Grand Challenges, Canada, was signed to address health and development needs.
The ‘Programme of Cooperation’ will pave the way for a collaborative roadmap for addressing global health challenges, especially relating to women and child health, early child development and mental health.
An MoU between National Skill Development Corporation and Association of Canadian Community Colleges was also inked.
Trade between India and Canada surpassed USD 5.8 billion last year. This represents a 12 per cent increase over 2012 and a 39 per cent increase since 2010.
Besides, Canadian investment in India totals USD 644 million, whereas Indian investment in that country is valued at USD 3.7 billion.
Johnston arrived on Saturday on a eight-day visit to India.

UDIT NARAYAN AND MIKA IN A WAR OF SONGS
26022014
Star Plus’ ‘Mad in India- 100 Desi Show’ has been spreading the madness since its launch and there is surely more craziness expected. But what happens when the music industry’s two completely opposite personalities share the same stage? One is bound to witness a war and that is exactly what happened. When the singing sensation Udit Natayan, who has managed to draw a connect with his brilliant voice and the Punjabi heartthrob Mika Singh, who sang his way through many hearts decided to get down on the floor to compete with each other it left the audience in a laughter riot.
Yes, this was some serious business which eventually turned into a laughter gas. When Manish Paul requested the two to sing, Udit and Mika got into a fun war of songs, where the two sang the same songs in many languages. To everyone’s surprise they sang in Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati and more!
We wonder if this was all in the name of fun or the two were trying to hint at something else. All we say is War chhod na yaar!

Daler Mehndi launched ‘Jawani Express’
25022014
Daler Mehndi launched ‘Jawani Express’, a full-length Hindi music album by Jasbeer Singh through his home label DRecords at hotel Lalit, Barakhamba Road. The launch of Jasbeer gains in significance as it not just marks the fulfillment of Indi-Pop King Daler Mehndi’s public commitment of launching Jasbeer and new talent.
Commenting on the launch Daler Mehndi said: “I was lucky enough to come from a family and legacy of music and thanks to God and my fans, my music journey has been one of fulfillment and fun. I had decided very early on itself that I would use my position to help newer talent especially those from across the country who are not so privileged get a good platform to not just get noticed and launch their music but to also in the process help enrich the industry with these young prodigies”.
“I had met Jasbeer many years ago on the sidelines of a concert at Gulbarga where he had approached me and taken me up on my public commitment to launching new talent. At the time I had given him a host of tips and had told him to perfect his art. ‘Jawani Express’ and Jasbeer have both not just pleasantly surprised me but have also well surpassed my expectations. Jasbeer is not just a very talented artist, author and composer, but ‘Jawani Express’ is also a fabulous album,” added Daler Ji.
On the occasion Daler Mehendi announced that He is searching for “Sufi sultan”, for which he will audition sufi singers but also added that only those singer will be able to participate or audition who will plant a tree because greenery is what we are losing day by day. If greenery is prevailed again on the earth the sweetness in voice of the singer will be much more inspired and is what I am searching for one to become “Sufi Sultan”

‘BOARDS THAT LEAD’
byWharton School Professor Michael Useem
on Wednesday, 5 March, 2014 at Hotel Le Meridian, New Delhi
‘BOARDS THAT LEAD’
byWharton School Professor Michael Useem
on Wednesday, 5 March, 2014 at Hotel Le Meridian, New Delhi
Dear Professional Colleague,
Institute of Directors, India is organising a special evening workshop on “Boards That Lead’ on Wednesday , 5th March 2014 at 1830hrs at Hotel Le Meridian, New Delhi . It will be followed by a networking dinner.
I am writing to invite you to join us at this special evening workshop and dinner.Is your firm’s board creating value–or destroying it ? Change is coming. Directors need a new road map–for when to lead, when to partner, and when to stay out of the way? There have been many attempts to understand better the ambiguous and changing world of the Boardroom and to determine what makes an ‘Effective’ Board. The recent global surveys suggest that ‘Board Performance Review’, is a powerful catalyst for increasing Board Effectiveness.
The evening session will have a special address on the above subject by our distinguished foreign expert Prof. Michael Useem, Professor of Management and Director of the Center for Leadership and Change Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, USA. He is the author of The Leader’s Checklist; The Leadership Moment; Investor Capitalism;andThe Go Point: When It’s Time to Decide. He is also co-author and co-editor of Learning from Catastrophes, and co-author of The India Way: How India’s Top Business Leaders Are Revolutionizing Managementand Boards That Lead.
This will be followed by a panel discussion on ‘Leadership & Boardroom Challenges’ and distinguished panel members include Mr M. Damodaran, former Chairman, SEBI, Mr Vineet Nayar , Ex CEO , HCL and Mr Arun Maira , Member Planning Commission as Guest of Honour ,
“Boards That Lead”, authored by Mr Ram Charan, Prof Michael Useem, Mr. Dennis Carey, would tell us the inside story behind the successes, pitfalls of this new leadership model and would also explain how to:
(1) Define the central idea of the company
(2) Ensure that the right CEO is in place and potential successors are identified
(3) Recruit directors who add value
(4) Root out board dysfunction
(5) Select a board leader who deftly bridges the divide between management and the board
(6) Set a high bar on ethics and risk
(2) Ensure that the right CEO is in place and potential successors are identified
(3) Recruit directors who add value
(4) Root out board dysfunction
(5) Select a board leader who deftly bridges the divide between management and the board
(6) Set a high bar on ethics and risk
As the seats are limited, registrations would be accepted on first-come-first-serve basis. For nomination of more than three officers from the same organisation should be reserved well in advance. Further details are on www.iodonline.com
Looking forward to your positive response and to receiving registrations from you at the earliest possible.
With best wishes, Manoj

SAIL-SBI OPEN PRESENTED BY INCREDIBLE INDIA MINISTRY OF TOURISM
25022014
SAIL-SBI OPEN PRESENTED BY INCREDIBLE INDIA MINISTRY OF TOURISM RETURNS FOR ITS SEVENTH EDITION
LAHIRI AND SIDDIKUR LEAD A STRONG FIELD
New Delhi, February 24, 2014: The SAIL-SBI Open presented by Incredible India Ministry of Tourism returning for its seventh edition in India will mark the beginning of the 2014 Asian Tour season. The US$ 300,000 tournament will be staged at the venerable Delhi Golf Club from February 26 – March 1, 2014. The Pro-Am event is scheduled for February 25.
The Steel Authority of India Ltd and State Bank of India are the main sponsors of India’s second-longest running international tournament. The tournament is supported by Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India and is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI).
The strong field will feature five players from the top-10 of last year’s Order of Merit. The Indian contingent will be spearheaded by defending champion Anirban Lahiri who finished third on the Asian Tour last year. Bangladesh’s Md Siddikur Rahman, who bagged fourth place on the 2013 Order of Merit, will be the other top contender this year.
Last year, Lahiri defeated countryman Rashid Khan in a playoff to claim his third Asian Tour title at the SAIL-SBI Open. It was also his third victory at the Delhi Golf Club, which has proven to be a happy hunting ground for the talented Lahiri.
Former Order of Merit champions Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand and India’s Jyoti Randhawa, who finished in the top-20 last year, will also be back to challenge for the SAIL-SBI Open title at a venue where they have tasted victory in the past.
Besides Lahiri, the other past winners of the tournament competing at this year’s edition are Chapchai Nirat of Thailand and Sweden’s Rikard Karlberg.
Thailand’s Prayad Marksaeng and Prom Meesawat along with Korean Baek Seuk-Hyun, all of whom finished in the top-10 in Asia last year, add further muscle to the field.
The Indian challenge will be strengthened by the presence of former Asian Tour winners SSP Chowrasia, Digvijay Singh, Rahil Gangjee and Himmat Singh Rai. Rashid Khan, the 2013 SAIL-SBI Open runner-up and reigning Rolex Rankings champion on the PGTI, will once again be a force to reckon with on his home course.
Mr. C S Verma, Chairman, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), said, “We seek to promote Indian professional golf by staging tournaments such as the SAIL-SBI Open. With SAIL steadily increasing its global presence, we are happy to be associated with this event as it attracts participation from all over Asia and other countries. We wish the players all the best and look forward to a fascinating week of golf.”
Mrs. Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chairman, State Bank of India, said, “We enjoy a very strong relationship with our partner SAIL and are pleased to collaborate with them on the SAIL-SBI Open. The State Bank Group is committed towards promoting sports in India.
