Just a day away from the vibrant and reverberating celebration of 10th VAKTAVYA of ASBEMS!!!!💥

As the theme is very clear "Economic Slowdown: An Opportunity for Radical Change", we can say that the Indian economy is in the grip of one of the worst slowdowns in a decade. Be it a certain collapse of the automobile sector, fall in the FMCG sector or rise in the unemployment rate; all these are the outcomes of deceleration of growth rate. This is an indication of tougher times ahead. 📉

WHAT IS CAUSING THIS SLOWDOWN?
Some of the major reasons behind this slowdown can be Demonetization and implementation of GST.

How will it overcome in the future? Can the economic slowdown prove to be an opportunity? Can it become a radical change for the nation?

So raise your bar a little higher and get excited to make your tongue deliver your expertise.

SEE YOU TOMORROW 💫

If this technology is so complex, why call it “blockchain?” At its most basic level, blockchain is literally just a chain of blocks, but not in the traditional sense of those words. When we say the words “block” and “chain” in this context, we are actually talking about digital information (the “block”) stored in a public database (the “chain”).

If you have been following banking, investing, or cryptocurrency over the last ten years, you may be familiar with “blockchain,” the record-keeping technology behind bitcoin. And there’s a good chance that it only makes so much sense. In trying to learn more about blockchain, you've probably encountered a definition like this: “Blockchain is a distributed, decentralized, public ledger."

Participants exchanged their views upon the same last year at Vaktavya'18 where the motion of the debate was "Blockchain: Just an Incorruptible Digital Ledger"

What about you guys?? Are you ready to share your views upon Economic Slowdown??

When Demonetization was announced on 8th November 2016 in India, the entire nation was perplexed about its repercussions.

The most obvious answer to this was a Digital, Cashless and Paperless Economy which aimed at the inclusivity of E-Wallets, Net Banking and lesser currency notes.

What seemed to be an unattainable target and a major blunder by renowned economists in 2017 was discussed and deliberated by college students at Vaktavya 2017 where the motion of the Debate was "Cashless, Paperless and Digital India: Distant Dream than Reality"

This year with an evident Economic Slowdown and a similar objective to provide the students a platform to voice their opinions ASBEMS proudly hosts Vaktavya'19. We hope to see you putting forward your views on the motion- "Economic slowdown: An Opportunity for Radical Change"

As we look back in time, to revisit our topics of Vaktavya, we see how all our topics had a great impact on the economy.

Back in 2016, came rumours about a game changer policy by the government. THE GOODS AND SERVICES TAX. It is a comprehensive multistage, destination based tax: comprehensive because it has subsumed almost all the indirect taxes except few.

A number of questions on GST remained unanswered during the time of its introduction to the Indian Economy(2017).
The main aim of GST was to broaden the base, lower the tax rate and remove the cascading effects of taxes on inputs. It was supposed to trigger greater investment and employability, while enhancing quality of product (goods and services) and quality of life (disposable incomes) of every citizen and enterprise, without eroding that of the other.
The different aspects attached to the broad spectrum of GST which were unseen by a normal consumer's eye, were given detailing by our debators of VAKTAVYA'16.
The debate gave some interesting keypoints with regard to both - GST being a game spoiler and a game changer.

GST did affect the economy. But was it a major reason in the current ECONOMIC CRISIS ? Get to be a part in the discussion of these questions and many more in the 10th edition of our Annual Debate Competition, VAKTAVYA'19.

Voice your opinion on the 22nd October 2019 about the ongoing economic crisis in India, at SGGSCC.

"Today, India needs a skilled workforce. Millions and millions of Indianyouth should acquire the skills which could contribute towards making India a modern country."

These were the words of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi during the formation of Ministry of Skill Development And Entrepreneurship in 2015.

While the main focus during this period was on skill development, there was another facet attached to this perspective, that skill development cannot be viewed in isolation. Coordination with industrial development is therefore as critical as skill development itself.

ASBEMS made the best use of this opportunity and the motion for Vaktavya'15 was decided as "Skill development is more important than industrial development for indian economy."

Now that Vaktavya'19 is just 5 days away, we hope to see you putting forward your views on this year's motion.

India initiated the Look East Policy in 1991 to improve the economic and strategic relations with South East Asia. This policy brought about a change in India's perspective of the world.

As a successor to this policy, Narendra Modi's government, in 2014, announced India's Act East Policy. It focussed on improving India's relations with ASEAN and other Asian countries for better economic engagement with its neighbours.

ASBEMS' Vaktavya'14 gave students an opportunity to voice their opinion on how this policy would benefit the Indian Economy. The motion for Vaktavya'14 was:
"The key to India's economic prosperity lies with Asia and not with western countries"

At the tenth edition of our event, we invite you to speak your mind and give voice to your views.

Looking forward to see you on 22nd October'19

The year 2013 was a period of stress for the Indian economy. A very turbulent year marked with slowing growth and rising inflation. The $1.8-trillion Indian economy suffered its worst slowdown in over a decade with growth below 5 per cent for four straight quarters.

Amidst this turmoil, ASBEMS’ Vaktavya’13
came with a big question to dig deeper into the scenario. The motion for Vaktavya’13 was:
‘Maximising Wealth is a Prerequisite for Maximising Welfare’.

There is no doubt that a strong economy has been very important to the success of welfare reform since forever. But the motion focused on answering whether economic growth will help raise the standard of living for each and every section of the society. It made the participants go beyond their theoretical knowledge and expand their perspective towards various aspects.

With reaching the 10 year mark of our flagship event, we urge you all to take part in "Vaktavya’19" and take the deliberations further.

See you on October 22nd, 2019.

Money often costs too much. Sometimes, even the job security!

Money is the biggest motivator according to majority of the Indian population but is it important than the job security?? What if you have a job worth thousands but your employer fires you the very next day?

This was the very issue in 2012 when the unemployment rate grew to a vigorous 11% than the average 7% in 2011. Alongside the increasing unemploymemt rate, the population in the nation below poverty line remained at 41%.

Consequently, in an era of keeping quiet, ASBEMS' VAKTAVYA'12 came to the rescue of all those students who were filled to their brims to speak about:
"Money is a Better Motivator than Job Security"

Now, who won't be interested in being appreciated by expressing his/her own thoughts about the economy?

So, why repeat history when you can speak your minds and be recognised.

Why do you care about what the other person says, when VAKTAVYA'19 is in just 8⃣ days??

Register right now because we are waiting for you. Yes, 'YOU'!! 💯

To mark a decade of VAKTAVYA, we revisit the motion of Vaktavya'11:
'Entrepreneurs are Born, Not Made'

While in high school, Steve Jobs sold 'Blue Boxes' that allowed free calls to students.
Dhirubhai Ambani set up a stall to sell bhajias at villages.
Such people are termed as Hypomaniacs. They are brimming with infectious energy, irrational confidence & really big ideas. They think, talk, move and make decisions quickly, supporting the fact that entrepreneurs are born.
However, it has been debated that such people are very much in minority.
While there are some who are born with a desire to create ventures and have inherent qualities that make them successful entrepreneurs, there are others who learn & acquire them along the way.

Do let us know about your views by being a part of the most awaited debating competition- "VAKTAVYA'19"

See you on 22nd October'19.
