Indian steel company to raise 100 million dollars

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     India's  single largest private sector company will try to raise 100
million dollars in the overseas capital market to finance expansion plans, press
reports said Tuesday.

    Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) chairman Russi Mody said in Calcutta
Monday the Euro-dollar issue, in the form of international depository receipts
(IDR's), had been approved by the Indian government, The Economic Times said.

    He said it would probably come immediately after TISCO's mega rights issue
of equity shares worth 12 billion rupees (460 million dollars) in the domestic
capital market, expected to be floated in June.

    Mody said at a news conference the IDR's worth 100 million dollars were a
first tranche, hinting Tata Steel would venture into the overseas capital market
again at an "opportune time," The Times said.

    TISCO,  India's  largest private sector entity, is engaged in ambitious
capital-intensive projects to modernise its plants and expand production
capacity.

    Mody reported that the company produced 1.98 million tonnes of saleable
steel in fiscal 1991-92 (April-March), a 78,000-tonne jump over the previous
financial year.

    He said TISCO earned 170 million dollars from exports of engineering goods,
raw materials and commodities in 1991-92, a 115-percent increase over the
previous year.

	Cultural too. Its like  the perpetual cycle - There must be
 economic prosperity, for a measure of stability for a nation , this needs 
 political independence to flourish, and military power to protect, and all
 this can be sustained only if there is cultural evolution and growth. They
must all have a necessarily indigenous content for the existence of a nation.
I would include growth of science and technology, and the spread and perpetuation of education under cultural growth. These fuel economic prosperity.

Of course, independence does not mean isolation. It just means being able to
make a choice.

	I have been following the recent outburst
of 'tamil chavunism' on the net.
	To begin with soc.culture.anylanguage is a
totally rotten idea, stinking of regionalistic fervour.
The divisive designs are too well exposed by the obvious
supporters of this group.  To any one following the net
for the past few years, it will be too obvious that only
the staunch 'tiger' supporters have come out with 
yet another of their moves.
	I can take a bet that if this group is formed
there will be no discussion of tamil culture/race/anything.
It will be a medium for the misoriented tigers to vent their
anger. I vision only a lot of anti-india, pro-eelam voices.
We people should never misuse our power and create 
a newgroup which could potentially serve as the mouth piece
for one of the most cold-blooded terrorist groups in the world.
	I do like the tamil language and have nothing against it
and am certain that such discussions can be carried on peacefully
within SCI.

	So if it comes to voting (IF) my vote is NO.

   [I am posting this for a friend, Joel Goodman, who doen't have net
access. If you are interested, please respond to Joel's address below
or e-mail me. I hardly ever read this newsgroup, so please don't post a
reply back here.]

   Joel Goodman is an architect and civil engineer. He graduated from MIT
and has been on the faculty of universities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and 
Lubbock, Texas. He has lived in Auroville, India, for many years and has been 
involved in several solar energy projects in Auroville.  Currently, he resides 
in Ridgeway, Wisconsin, where he has a private practice.

   Joel has designed a solar bowl roof structure for sites in India. This 
design, which incorporates a 60 degree semi rim angle bowl with 0 degree
inclination, is especially suited for sites in South India (around
15-degree North latitude). For higher latitudes, the configuration has to
be altered slightly. He has received a federal grant to work on the solar bowl 
and is interested in people who may be interested in "embarking on a
research and development project to include the construction and measured
operation of a full size demonstration facility".

    Joel thinks that the project would need mechanical and structural engineers,
in addition to architects and computer-aided design specialists.

    If you know anyone in India who might be interested, or are interested
yourself, feel free to contact Joel at the address and phone # below. I don't

I think the tamils should go ahead with the new news group.

Plain simple fact people interested in tamil  can always subscribe
to it.
Like we one can make a hue and cry on sci anything concerning 
to india and indians. If it seems that it is of interest to
only tamil lingo ---- its better to be where it belongs.

Definetely I donot want a greek posting on the sci.

And a news group is not a diplomatic status to nation or does 
create a nation.

What the hell they can go ahead say what they want in it.
In fact I can to if I have some thing on tamil or tamilians.

Well, the title is slightly misleading - for it is not exactly about
mathematicians.

Once upon a time, a physicist, a mathematician and an engineer set out to
prove the theorem that all odd integers are primes.

Said the physicist, "Well, 1 doesn't count, 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is, 9
isn't but then again 11 and 13 are. Hence, 9 must be an error in experimental
data analysis. Within an error limit, we therefore conclude that ... "

Said the mathematician, "Well, 1 doesn't count, 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is,
hence by induction we conclude that ... "

And then said the engineer, "Well, 1 doesn't count, 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7
is a prime, 9 is a prime ... "

Hello everybody,

A friend of mine wants to know if it would be possible to extend a 3 
months tourist visa ( issued in India for US ) for atmost another one or two 
months, after arriving in the US. 

How does one go about doing it ?

Is it possible to change the time period over which the 3 month visa 
is valid, in India itself ?


Thanks
