Operational and Safety issues
BGS National Public School - Bangalore

I agree to many points and I feel school should resolve these problems - washrooms should be clean - classes in under construction building should be avoided. - The walk way and bus way should be seperate, school authority should wait for a mishap to bring in this change. - Stray dogs sh...ould be prohibited - parents-pick-up kids should not be kept as last priority and locked, Regarding bus drop, I didn’t face any issue for past over a year. Last week I was there to pick up my kid and there were hundreds of kids in queue lined for different bus and I could see all getting filtered in getting seated in the right bus. I could see how complex this task was and I could also see my daughter navigating for like half an hour from her class to her bus. It was organized well but half an hour from class to bus with school bag on, for a 3-5 year old kids is not at all nice feeling. I don’t know if this is how it can work if the number of kids and buses is so huge but I feel there is a scope of improvement. Till now my experience with Pre-Primary Head Ms. Pushpa is good. If there is no immediate critical thing, she tries to listen and understand the problem. During the school hours, the kind of work and responsibilities she handles herself, she cannot spend more than 2-3 minutes talking or getting feedback from parents. I always see her on toes (and not just sitting in some large office). It tough to do what she is doing. I don’t know if these articles are read by school authority but I’ll try to write or talk to someone in school and see how soon they can help in resolving each of these and would also request if more parents can talk to school authorities about this. I don’t think they (scool staff) are bad, but they are suddenly loaded with huge number of kids in new sections, new teachers and an under-construction building. I am sure they will crease out these issues soon. pramand_k, thanks for writing about this.Read More

Never Say YES to SBI Home Loan
State Bank Of India

SBI Loan is never easy for your pocket, they debit our home loan account at their own will. Recently for my loan there was a debit of Rs.8000/- with a description saying Insurance charges. This is something which I never asked for nor was I informed that I will be forced to take insurance. Now I don...'t even know what kind of insurance is this, if the premium is one time or recurring? Half yearly or annual. The worst part is there is no single point of contact who can answer the queries. The SBI call center provides the worst service, I know these days most of the call centers are like this and they don't have all the information consumer needs but SBI is ahead of them, they will try to give their own views to the problem and try to convince you with silly reasoning. My first loan was from a private bank and I was dissatisfied with the interest rates hike and hence for the second loan I went for SBI. But if they arbitrary charge amount to my loan account the final outgo from my pocket is same as that of a private bank. At a private bank you can raise your concerns and speak out and escalate as needed, but with SBI forget it as the SBI staff feel they have obliged you by giving you the loan. Probably for them a loan taken by a farmer and a loan taken by a well educated person doesn’t make a difference. They try to treat both categories of people as if they are unaware of any computation and logic and can be convinces by any silly reasoning. I would recommend, Do Not Go For SBI. Read More

THE BEST "SUV" ON INDIAN ROADS AT THE PRICE

Hi All, I feel ABS is an important feature but it doesn't come with Ex model and is available only with Vx that is another 2.5 Lacs and ofcourse has many more things like DVD player, LCDs, Air bags, Alloy wheels, leather covers, reverse camera etc... I am just wondering, we can alwyas put most ...of these things in Ex but what about Air Bags and ABS? Is it worth going for VX to get these 2 important safety features? Read More

IGNOU - Should we continue with it???????

IGNOU should also invite companies for placement this will help creating a brand name if there are really good candidates.

IGNOU - Should we continue with it???????
IGNOU

I feel if a candidate has cleared some exam that too a recognized one then he/she should get a chance to appear in the open & equal competition. Rejecting a candidate only because he/she has studied through distance learning mode is a bad practice. In universities like IGNOU, the exams are slightly ...more difficult to clear and if somebody has done it then definitely he/she has caliber to be part of a bigger organization and take up challenge / responsibility that might not be less then compared to candidate studied through a regular university. The long term solution for this problem is to change the brand image of Distance Learning, which is definitely not an easy task and might take years to happen. The immediate solution I can suggest for all candidate studying through distance learning mode and have zero experience, is not to loose patience as getting a job depends on multiple factors apart from the university name. The most important factor is the communication skill, you should have capability to express others what you think in clear and easy way. The second important factor is the subject matter expertise in the field you are looking job into. If the candidate has these 2 basic capabilities and does not have a degree from a branded university, he/she might not be able join the bigger organization as the first job but reaching there after working in 1-2 smaller firms is not a difficult task.

Irritated customer
IFB Executive Plus

The service in bangalore is also extremly bad. I am just wondering why do we need to raise differect complaints for the same problem. Are the service people getting money for per complaint they attend. Why dont they reopen the closed complain if the customer has same problem. If the problem persist ...even after multiple visit of the technician IFB should screw the technician and replace the product. IFB has lost goodwill because of poor and pathetic after sales service.Read More
