TODAY'S CROSSWORD TODAY'S ZODIAC

Social housing needs private developers

The government's National Housing Policy does little to improve the living conditions of the socially disadvantaged. It takes no concrete steps to help them acquire and retain a roof over their heads. The continued raising of prices by government agencies has ensured that a house remains just a pipedream for most people. This has also rendered the social housing policy a non-starter.

The three Ps and You

In today's materialistic world, where corporates are finding it hard to retain and find talent, Richard G Payne, regional director, Asia, The Corporate Resource Group, has devised a new strategy in compensation management. Christened as The 3 Ps and You, Payne's compensation management system is based on a process of realising value by paying for position, performance and that `unique' person.

Offloading of over-booked flights to India gives tough time

The India-bound traveller is facing a tough time this winter with international carriers resorting to off-loading passengers on over-booked flights. The under-capacity on the European sector is the root cause for this and European airlines have been requesting the Indian government to review bilateral air pacts in a bid to increase capacity. The government's constant neglect of these pleas have, however, ensured that a pleasant flight to India will still remain a dream for the passengers stranded at European airports.
