How to Navigate the Bid Security Declaration Process

The Indian government now gets things through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM). It's easy, quick, and clear what to do now. Last, write the message about the safety bid. You need to do this before you can bid on things on the GeM page. Follow the rules. You can learn a lot about the Bid Security Declaration in this blog post. People who bid should understand what it is and how to use it.

The GeM Portal has some information about how to protect bids. How does it look?

The bid security declaration needs to be filled out by everyone who wants to bid. They've said they will follow the rules so far. It's used instead of the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), so you don't have to put down money right away. To get a bid, you have to say this. You don't want to buy or win. The new Bid Security Declaration is easier for a lot more people to use than the old EMD method. Small and medium-sized companies (MSMEs) are one group that really feels this way. This is another way to buy things.

The Bid Security Declaration doesn't make sense to me.

1. The Bid Security Declaration's steps make things simple.

Being in debt is no longer a problem since the Bid Security Declaration was made. There are now also bids from some new companies and MSMEs. There will be more competition and new ideas because of this.

2. It makes people take things more seriously

When someone signs the tender, they promise to follow the rules written on it. People who don't follow the rules shouldn't bid because they will be punished.

3. It helps the government a lot.

People will be able to buy or bid as soon as they hear the word. If you don't check your EMD payments, you can get things faster.

4. Gives money to government projects

Like Atmanirbhar Bharat and Ease of Doing Business. If you run a small or nearby business, you can join these projects.

The good things about the Bid Security Declaration

People who won old-style EMD had to keep some of their cash. People don't have to keep the money they spend, according to the Bid Security Declaration. Now there's room for more work.

Move things along:

Setting up an EMD takes more time and work than filing a tax return. This will save you time and paper.

MSME wants to join because:

Mid-sized and small businesses (MSMEs) don't always have extra cash on hand. This change is fair, so they'll like it.

With a chance to play:

They don't have to worry about money, so they can bid on more than one deal at once. They now have a better chance of getting a job.

These groups need to get

People who aren't ready to buy are stopped by that line. This makes sure that only important people join.

There are fewer deals that go through.

It's easier and faster to buy things when you don't have to deal with and return EMDs.

   If you don't follow the tender's rules, bad things could happen:

Not being able to:

The person who bought it might not be able to bid on anything else for a while.

Taking care of money:

The person who buys the item might have to pay the same amount as the EMD that was put on the tender.

It's bad for your name:

People who bid on the GeM Portal should think about these things:

1. Make sure you know how the price works. There are some things you need to do before you put in a Bid Security Declaration. 

2. Do the right thing

3. Going to bed at the right time

For the bid to be valid, the account must be sent in by the due date.

4. Do what you need to do.

The Bid Security Declaration has been very helpful for all types of businesses. They were afraid to bid on big government jobs because they had to get EMD. 

Bring down the bars to get in:  

Why coming up with new ideas is good:

Conclusion

 There is an important document called a Bid Security Declaration for a specific bid number that shows the buying group that the buyer is serious about taking part. This statement from the bidder shows that they are willing to follow the tender requirements and knows what will happen if they don't. This helps people be honest, take responsibility, and compete fairly in the buying process.

Air Nomad Conquest AU

AU where the Air Nomads take over the world. I know that, it's been done a few times, but every time I see it, the Air Nomads are violent and cruel, and I just??? I mean, nothing against other people's AUs and interpretations, but the Air Nomads are literally the only pacifistic nation in the show and I still have yet to see an AU that takes advantage of this. Especially because brainwashing and chi/energy manipulation are canon. But, I guess I gotta make it then. :'D Because they are non-violent, they'd probably see themselves as justified and pure, bringing their fucked up version of peace to the world. :'D

-The elders at the Air Temples start to receive troubling visions of doom and fire. As a result they tell Aang he's the Avatar soon after he turns twelve and receives his tattoos. Just like in canon, he doesn't take the news well and runs away when they threaten to ship him away.

-However, this time, they had a back-up plan. They manage to piece together that the Fire Nation is planning to use the great comet to annihilate them. So, armed with this knowledge, they set up an ambush of their own.

-When the comet arrives, the firebenders are surprised to find the temples abandoned? They assume that the airbenders must be hiding deeper in, so they go, only to find the air becoming progressively thinner. They realize their mistake too late, as they become too weak to move let alone firebend. The comet passes over, with the fire army only having enough air to survive, the calm, watchful eyes of air masters watching from the tall ceilings above.

-The eradication of their Air Nomads was a massive failure. The Fire Nation fears the worst as months go by with no word from the generals and soldiers that went to assault the temples.

-Only, much to their surprise, they return, on the backs of sky bison too. Everyone sent to eradicate the airbenders comes back unharmed. Or so it seems.

-Physically their all fine, but they seem... detached. Their eyes a little glazed over, with a mysteriously calmer disposition to match.

-The Air Nomads are a peaceful people, all pacifists with no military. And yet all of Sozin's best generals and firebenders were no match for them. For whatever the airbenders did to them.

-When asked, they merely reply that the monks showed them the ways of peace and harmony.

-Rather than retaliate, the Air Nomads claim that they just want to speak with Sozin. Maybe come to some kind of peaceful agreement. Sozin doesn't want to, but with the airbenders decisive victory when the firebenders were at their strongest, he has no choice but to relent.

-Sozin comes back from that talk, a changed man. Suddenly the Fire Nation is demilitarized and there's an Air Nomad overseeing the Fire Nation.

-Most of the Fire Nation is just happy that they can live in peace again, but a very vocal minority is PISSED.

-They manage to burn a few airbenders before "mysteriously" changing their attitudes.

-Now the Fire Nation is scared. Just what on earth are the airbenders doing to these people??

-Basically the Air Nomads are brainwashing them. Painting smiles on their souls if you will.

-Seeing the Fire Nation weakened and demilitarized, the Water Tribes and Earth Kingdom decide to exact vengeance on the Fire Nation.

-The airbenders attempt to dissuade the other nations from attacking, but they won't listen.

-Fearing that the other nations may be just as vicious as the Fire Nation, the Air Nomads decide to implement the same solution they did with the firebenders.

-If they won't listen to reason, they'll force them to understand.

-All life is sacred after all. (ʘ‿ʘ✿)

-None of the nations have militaries now, and the Air Nomads have more-or-less concored the world, seeing as they either control or have people set up in powerful positions for all of the major governments.

-With the exception of Ba Sing Se, Kyoshi Island, and the Northern Water Tribe, but they all have a mutual agreement of non-aggression and isolationism.

-The different nations become further isolated from one another.

-The Air Nomads develop their own version of the Dai Li, they call themselves the 'Peacekeepers'. Their job is to uphold peace around the world. By overseeing the different nations and their peoples. And brainwashing dissenters. :'D

-A century later, Aang is freed from the iceberg.

-At first Sokka doesn't trust the strange airbender that Katara freed from the ice, but comes around when the boy shows genuine confusion about the whole 'Peacekeepers in the south'.

-Katara trusts Aang immediately, because he really doesn't come across as creepy or 'Peacekeepery' in any way.

-Naturally, Aang is very confused and doesn't at all understand what the siblings are going on about.

-When Katara takes Aang back to her village, he can't help but get major creep vibes from the local 'Peacekeepers'.

-Since the Fire Nation never stripped the Southern Tribes, Katara has already mastered waterbending. Although, she does feel an intense pressure to run away because both her parents have already been brainwashed and she is afraid that she's going to be next. As much as it hurts Sokka to abandon his dad, he shares the sentiment.

-Aang helps them escape in the dead of night.

-Toph's backstory is mostly the same, only she now also has the pressure of her parents considering having on of the Peacekeepers come "talk" to her.

-Because the Fire Nation never lays siege to Ba Sing Se, Lu Ten is alive and Iroh is Fire Lord. Azulon is still alive, but he's Mcfreakin' ancient and has recently retired as Fire Lord. Iroh isn't brainwashed, but that's only because he's already pretty chill and easy going. Iroh's brother, Prince Ozai, is the leader of a secret rebellion that looks to overthrow the airbenders(and finish the job Sozin set out to do). Ozai's son, Prince Zuko once snuck into one of the meetings. When someone talked about how the airbenders had no right to enforce their will upon the Fire Nation, Zuko spoke out about how the Fire Nation started the mess and that the Air Nomads may have been wrong in their actions, but they did have a point about not forcing violence upon others.

-This royally pissed Ozai off and Zuko was challenged to an Agni Kai. Forgetting that this Agni Kai would be done under Ozai's secret society rules, and not under the watchful eyes of the Peacekeepers, Zuko accepted. Zuko realized his mistake far too late and refused to duel, begging his father for mercy. His face was singed in front of a cheering audience. All at the tender age of thirteen.

-Both the Peacekeepers and Fire Lord Iroh were horrified to find Zuko badly burned. They tried to get answers out of him, but Ozai had Zuko convinced that if he told, he would get into trouble. So Zuko insisted that it was a nasty accident, his own fault really(it's not actually his fault). And really, Zuko did honestly believe that his father burning him was his own fault.

-Azula taunted and bullied Zuko in secret.

-Zuko eventually withdrew and become bitter and grumpy. Feeling like no one can protect him, he eventually runs away after turning sixteen. Resolving to find the Avatar and put a stop to this whole mess.

-Aang doesn't want to believe that his people are bad, and desperately clings onto the idea that there's something that everyone is missing. However, in his travels he finds that what his people are doing is totally and utterly wrong. Yes, peace is a good thing, but they have no right to enforce their will onto others. This leaves Aang to confront the idea of his own people, the people he loves, are the bad guys.

-Also, one more thing. His friends have no idea that he's the Avatar. :')

Gonna have fun writing this, lmao.

If I can ever get around to it. rip

Manufacturing Cargo Containers in India - How far is it feasible?

Over the years, there has been a dramatic increase in ocean freight. Almost 85% of the global trade today is through container ships which serve as the most preferred method of transportation because of their economic viability. 

However, amid the overwhelming popularity of ocean freight, a major concern has also started bothering traders post the pandemic - the container shortage crisis. 

In January 2021, the industrial activities surged and there was a reported increase in demand for the export of items like rice, sugar, wheat, and drugs and pharmaceuticals. But while the quantum of exports grew, it could not be well attended owing to the shortage in availability of containers for shipping. A possible explanation for this is the disruption in the supply chain post-Covid-19. Most of the containers are being prioritised for long-haul shipments, while others are piling up at already congested transhipment ports under the indirect repercussions of the pandemic. This has hampered the timely export and left the trade at the mercy of the availability of containers.

At present, India imports a bulk of its requirement of cargo containers mostly from China- the global leader in container production. There are no domestic production units that manufacture such containers in India on a large scale or at cheap prices. The locally-made containers are pricier by about 25% compared to the ones imported from China.

While the container shortage crisis is expected to ease by mid-2021, it is in the better interest of the country’s trade that a long-term strategy is developed to deal with it. A feasibility study has already been commissioned for making containers in Bhavnagar, Gujarat as a move towards Atmanirbhar Bharat.

As per the latest reports, the Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), the leader in the container movements market has supported the idea of indigenous manufacturing of cargo containers. Braithwaite, a unit under the Indian Railways, and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.(BHEL), a PSU under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, have been the ones to receive developmental orders from CONCOR for producing 1000 containers each.

Further, a tender for 6000 more containers will be issued soon. 

It has also been emphasised that the containers are expected to be GPS-equipped to aid tracking. This would provide better logistical support while cutting short the dependency on China at the same time.

Domestic production of containers will not only boost the economy by saving foreign exchange but also assist in addressing the larger issue of exporters. More so in the direction of promoting foreign trade, since the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) has been replaced and rates of Remission of Duties or Taxes on Export Product (RoDTEP ) are yet to be announced.

Odisha's Paradip aims to become No. 1 port in India

By Bappaditya Chatterjee

IANS (11:52)

Paradip (Odisha), April 25 (IANS) State-owned Paradip Port Trust, which has been focusing on promoting competition and bringing down costs to users, is looking at 17 percent growth in cargo handling -- touching 120 million tonnes (mt) in 2018-19, according to a top official. Betting big on the ongoing capacity-building projects and upcoming industrial parks along with multi-modal logistics parks, which are expected to boost cargo flow, the leading dry-bulk handing port in the country remains bullish on achieving significant growth in its revenue, the official said. "Our goal for the current fiscal is to become the number one port in the country overtaking Kandla Port (located on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat). On the basis of current trends in cargo handling, we are looking at a 16-17 percent growth in the current fiscal. Cargo handling should reach around 118-120 mt in 2018-19," Paradip Port Trust Chairman Rinkesh Roy told IANS. The port, on the eastern coast, has taken "positive strides" in terms of growth in cargo handling in the last three-four years and it had handled 102 mt of cargo in the last fiscal, achieving a growth of about 15 percent. "Our main focus has been on getting a higher volume of cargo and our topline has improved significantly. We clocked close to Rs 1,500 crore of revenue in 2017-18 with all income put together. If we are able to touch 118 mt cargo handling, the topline would be to the tune of Rs 1,750-Rs 1,800 crore," he said. Roy said the port rates have not been revised from 2012-13 onwards and would continue to be the same till 2019-20. While other ports had hiked their rates, Paradip Port has kept its rates steady. "We introduced a fair degree of competition. There were anti-competition activities which we were able to sort out. "This is one of the few ports where the cost to the customers came down by 30-40 percent from 2012-13 to 2017-18. For example, the companies which have been importing coal had incurred a cost of around Rs 600-650 per tonne in 2012-13 and that has come down to Rs 250-280 a tonne. The cost of our services came down through better efficiencies," Roy said. The port, according to its chief, remains focused on its laid-down strategy because its competition is "not only limited to Dhamra and Gopalpur port (in Odisha) but also Gangavaram Port" located in Andhra Pradesh. "If any competitor offers cheap prices and gets large capesize vessels, there is every possibility of cargo diversion to the most competitive ports," Roy said. The port has taken up a host of projects to increase its capacity from the existing 277 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 325 mtpa by 2025. The projects, with a total investment of around Rs 4,000 crore, include development of multi-purpose berths to handle clean cargo, deep draught coal berth for handling imported coal with 10 mtpa capacity and also an iron ore berth. Other projects are mechanisation of the EQ (East Quay) 1,2,3 berths and development of a 0.75 mtpa capacity LPG terminal at the South Oil jetty. "All are ongoing projects. One part of the container-cum-clean-cargo terminal is already ready and we should be getting the first ship by end of this month. This facility will boost cargo handling by another 3-4 million tonnes," Roy said. The port has also made progress in setting up a multi-modal logistic park (MMLP) with the Container Corporation of India (Concor), a public sector unit under the Ministry of Railways, and also an industrial park covering about 600 acres of land. "We have plans to set up the MMLP with Concor and we have given 100 acres of land to them. Concor will be floating a tender shortly and the work should start from June for setting up the park, Roy said. The port has also allotted 277 acres of land to industries, out of 600 acres, for the industrial park. "A large chunk of land was allotted to a consortium for setting up a pellet plant of four mtpa capacity and this would help cargo flow to the port. We have got expression of interests for a food park and for which, we are in process to take permission from the Centre to increase the lease period. We are also planning to set up a wood park," Roy added.

How to Register an MSME in India and What Its Benefits Are

There are more organized and advanced things going on now that there are more Indian people interested in startups and MSMEs have been around since 2001. Even though India is still a young country, it is clearly changing. The government is also not afraid to come up with good programs to help MSMEs start up and grow quickly.

In the same way, the Ministry of MSME is working hard to support MSM businesses that make, process, or store goods to let entrepreneurs know that starting a business doesn't have to cost a fortune anymore. The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, 2006, was made by the Indian government to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. When it comes to the law, tiny, small, and medium-sized businesses are best described as

Business Category

 Putting money into plants and machines (Production and Manufacturing Industry) Putting money into equipment (Service Business). Small

The amount spent on plant and tools is less than 25 lakh rupees. The amount spent on plant and tools is less than 10 lakh rupees.  More than Rs. 25 lakh, but less than Rs. 5 crore, was spent on plant and tools. Plant and tools cost more than 10 lakh rupees but less than 2 crore rupees. A Medium The amount spent on plant and tools is more than 5 crore but less than 10 crore.

What do you need to do to become an MSME?

To get it certified, you need to go through an online method that needs your Aadhar number. You can get the award online, so you don't need a paper copy. Also, businesses that have an MSME Certificate find it even easier to get licenses, approvals, and registrations from the right officials in any field for their operations. In this way, they can show the Certificate of MSME Registration when they apply. On top of that, applicants can get their ISO certificate fees back by submitting a request to the appropriate authority that is backed by MSME Certificates.

Just what are the pros of signing up?

There are a lot of them, such as priority lending, cluster financing with low-interest bank loans, and the chance to use the newest quality management standards. Let's look at each one separately. When a new business starts up or grows, it doesn't have to pay Stamp Duty, Registration fees, or direct taxes in its first year. This is because it is an MSME.

The right kind of support your business can get a Bar Code Registration subsidy—a 50% subsidy for patent registration if you apply to the right body and for trademark registration in a certain category. Help with the costs of getting licenses to certify products from national or international standardization groups. As part of this activity, a subsidy equal to 75% of the real cost is given to license the product to meet national or international standards. The most help that the GOI will give to a small or medium-sized business is Rs.1.5 lakh for getting a product licensed or marked to meet national standards and Rs.2 lakh for getting a product licensed or marked to meet international standards.

How useful are banks?

The interest rates are lower for businesses that are registered than for other businesses. Public sector banks can call their MSME general banking branches "specialized MSME branches" if 60% or more of their loans go to the MSME sector. This is being done to make things better for everyone in this area. Based on the RBI Master Circular on giving to the MSME sector from July 1, 2010, the largest loan that can be taken out is Rs.1 crore. There are business incubators. Through incubators, the Ministry helps small and medium-sized businesses grow as entrepreneurs and managers. The main goal of this program is to help people come up with new business ideas that can be put into action within a year. These ideas can be about new or indigenous technology, processes, goods, procedures, etc.

Through the Scheme, financial help of 75% to 85% of the project cost is given, up to INR6.25Lakh per idea. The Business Incubators (BIs) or the host school can only get help with 10 ideas at a time. The BIs can also get Rs. 3.78 lakh to cover the costs of equipment and training for 10 ideas (Rs. 37,800 per idea). Anyone or any Micro and Small Businesses (MSEs) with a new business idea that is almost ready to be sold can contact one of the approved Business Incubators under the plan. Then, institutions like engineering colleges, management schools, research labs, and others that have their own incubation facilities and staff to help new entrepreneurs and ideas can fill out the application form that was provided.

Conclusion

These days, anything outside the box is in style. Also, the fact that it doesn't follow a set plan makes us wonder how flexible a single idea could be. The same is true for this place's business spirit. The MSMEs are growing quickly thanks to help from the government and young people who want to start their own business. That piece might have been useful for people who want to work for themselves or have business ideas but aren't sure how to get started or get money for them. Even if you don't do anything else, the thought of registering your business can be a good start toward your goals.
