Unique Identification Project
==========================
This is the step taken by Union goverment to give unique identity proofs to residents of India. This identity will have basic information of the residents of india. When the resident enrolls, basic information of will be collected and will be give a number( not a card). However, this number will not have any intelligence/sensitive information,thus avoids any identity thefts.
BENEFITs
=========
(1) Obtaining the address proofs for Driving License,passports etc will be easy
(2)This will help in improving the delivery of Cental and state flagship program. As lack of identity proof results in harrassement and some case denial of services
(3)It will save Gov. Exchequer by avoiding leakages in Govt programmes.
This is to be noted that one such programme has already been introduced by Election Commission in 1993 and planned to provide Photo Identity card to voters. This programme resulted large burden on Government cosidering the population of india.
This is right step taken from Goverment to give unique no,s which has multiple benefits.But the programme needs to be executed professionally and in phased manner.

Bhuvan, is satellite mapping tool
Bhuvan, is satellite mapping tool similar to Google earth and wikimapia. This is designed by ISRO. Bhuvan uses Indian Remote Sensing satellites and gives exceptionally superior quality picture of India compared to any other visual globe tool.
This gives better resolution of India and cleared of all sensitive details for security concern. Along with this has other tools such as weather monitoring, disaster mapping-flood and draught affected area mapping and also helps in district administration as it maps the district boundaries of all states of India.
National Remote Sensing Agency played an important role in the creation of this product. ISRO has used data provided by satellites including Resourcesat-1, Cartosat-1 and Cartosat-2 to get the best possible imagery for India both in 2D and 3D view.

Globalisation and Growing Inequality
====================================
World is going through its severe economic downturn since the great economic downturn of 1930's. The ILO report says that the root of this crisis lies in 1990's economic reforms. Throgh this reforms, the world economic order took a turn and headed for different direction and is the main reason for contemporary economic inquality, social security concerns and labour relations.
Recent report of ILO clearly highlights the growing inequality among different section of workers and decrease in the unemployment after the globalization. - Main reason is due to the extinctions of many domestic industries which are affected by the global factors.
Although the 1990s economic reforms were accompanied by “substantial economic development across most regions" there were variation in labour market performance between and within the countries. Moreover, increase in employment also occurred, alongside a redistribution of income " away from labor"
Statistics indicated the share of wages in National Income declined over the past 2 decades. This means that workers gained very less from the economic growth. The rich poor gap also widened.
Nearly two thirds of the countries experienced an increase in income inequalities. Yet another finding is that this rich poor gap is doing so at increased pace.
Financial Globalization has not lived upto its promises. Another problem that it has eroded the Bargaining power of employees and contributed to decline in wage share over and above any effect resulting from trade integration or sectorial change.
The continuing economic slowdown coupled with rising food prices will accentuate the income inequality and affect the employment opportunities of low income group..
Although in line with the economic thinking since the advent of globalization, the report argues that income inequalities could be a good thing as it rewards work quality, talent, and innovation. It strikes a serious note of caution that “there are instances where income inequality reaches excessive levels, in that it represents a danger to social stability while also going against economic efficiency considerations.”
