Dear Abhijeetians,
Abhijeet Group has changed significantly in recent years and continues to evolve, to keep
pace with the changing times. Our positive outlook enables us to identify opportunities
in challenges and allows us to create new benchmarks in the industry. Our ability to
learn from the success stories of others, not only by understanding their best practices
but also by studying their shortcomings, has helped us to evolve into a Group with a
hunger to succeed.
We have initiated a sustainable journey of transformation by foraying into new
international markets, and exploring new business areas to keep our entrepreneurial
spirit alive, and to continue growing. Our endeavor is to create value for our stakeholders
through strengthening of operations in our core sectors, through world-class operating
standards and state-of-the-art technology. For us to achieve our vision, it is essential
that we focus on defining a process and work towards achieving Business Process
Excellence.
We encourage a proactive attitude against a reactive one, an attitude that believes
in changing in order to create a more effective and efficient business process. This is
with intent to give shape to the existing business excellence practices and to improve
capabilities and results. We also look forward to create a common measure to calibrate
excellence across Abhijeet Group and implement the learning on the existing and new
ventures.
A few years back, we began with a dream, a dream of evolving into one of the biggest
industry houses in India and eventually in the world. Every passing moment is bringing us
close towards the fulfillment of this dream. We will achieve what we believe. I believe
in our ability and I believe in our resolve. I believe that every situation is an opportunity
for us to grow. Let us resolve to explore newer avenues of growth and create a legacy
which will be a source of inspiration for generations to come.

CORNER
“Peace is nourished by truth and principles, and it
is strengthened when we overcome our differences
to work together, finding common ground for a
noble cause.”
HR –
THE ABHIJEETIAN WAY
We have often heard that we can learn from Nature
and apply in our day to day life to live a Happy
Life. I have often wondered how these simple
principles which we often rant very easily can also
be interspersed in any Corporate Role to help in
smooth functioning of each of us. Nature does not
distinguish between rich & poor, between young &
old, between able and disabled when it provides
energy & its bounties to all and sundry.
First and foremost is the distinction of classifying
HR as “Human Relationship” and not “Human
Resource”, which is the first tenant for bonding
and fellowship as ONE and UBIQUOTOUS
ABHIJEETIAN globally. The pride to call one self as
Abhiheetian should remain above all ego, position
and level, contribution and results. Essentially,
all our activities should be focused for improving
relationships on a global level, helping each other
learn and understand deeper meanings for life and
its existence and fostering healthy cooperation and
collaboration.
Next, I would like to borrow and emphasize on other
principles by referring to “Rotary 4 WAY TEST”.
•
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
•
Is it the TRUTH?
•
Will it bring GOODWILL and better
FRIENDSHIP?
•
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Not only our actions as Abhijeetians need to be Fair
it should also be perceived as Fairly done and needs
proper communications, which is an important area
to not only bring Information to the doorsteps of
everyone, but may Inspire and Motivate others to
also take up roles and contribute their part, which
they may be willing but are unaware of.
Truthfulness has to be above, all our actions. We
have to work with all sincerity and first be truthful
to our own self, and then only we would be able
to work outside our busy schedule and priorities to
devote unconditional love and time for espousing
the cause of our workplace.
Other big focus on uniting all Abhijeetians rests
with being Friendly with each other and helping
each other achieve Goodwill amongst us. Everyone
feels better on being appreciated externally, but
one can never feel as much BLISS as having one’s
own feeling of peace and satisfaction having
contributed to achieving something worthwhile for
helping others achieving their goals, without being
in Rat Race.
If we all work with above notions, the end results
have to be BENEFICIAL to all. Any doubts???
Such a simple way to project and such deep meaning
in the 4-way test can stand as a guiding principle
for ANY Organization’s evolution & growth. HR is
nothing but simple applications towards complex
problems of our life and work.
I have benefited immensely by keeping the motif of
4-way test to be my side for improving my actions
and ultimately my character and I do hope that all of
you look up for your share of sunshine.
Lets all resolve to bring such change for “ABHIJEET”

40TH WORLD ENVIRONMENT
DAY CELEBRATIONS
World Environment Day (WED) is set to take place
on the 5th June. It’s an event that has taken place
every year since 1973 and just one way in which the UN
promotes awareness of environmental issues in the global
community. More significantly, it’s a day when the people of the world are
encouraged to come together and work towards a more environmentally
sustainable future.
This year sees the 40th anniversary of the event that led to the
establishment of World Environment Day. WED, as it is often called, was
established by the United Nations General Assembly to mark the start of
the UN Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm from
5th to 16th June 1972. The first World Environment Day was on 5th
June 1973.
The Stockholm Conference was the first occasion that world
leaders met to discuss the political, social and economic
problems of the global environment with a view to actually
doing something about it.
Each year World Environment Day is hosted by a different
country and this year the host is Brazil and the theme is Green
Economy: Does it include you?
A Green Economy, according to the United Nations Environment Programme,
is one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while
significantly reducing environmental risk and ecological scarcities.
This can be summed up as being a socially inclusive, low carbon economy
that is efficient with its resources. So, in this regards CIAL commemorating

About Mega steel Projects
To accelerate creation of large
steel capacity in the country to meet
the growing demand, the government
proposes to launch ultra mega projects
in the steel sector. As per the plan,
steel ministry in co-operation with
state governments will initially identify
four to five locations closer to the iron
ore mining sites for developing ultra
mega steel projects (UMSP). The
minimum capacity of an UMSP will be
10 million tonne (MT) and it will be
offered to both public and private
sector companies under a competitive
bidding process. The plan for UMSP
has already been discussed in the
inter-ministerial group set up to
accelerate the development of steel
projects in the country.
An initial draft has been prepared,
under it, the central government in
collaboration with state governments
will create necessary infrastructure for
the mega steel project such as getting
clearances for the project and assure
raw material linkage in the form of coal
and iron ore mining loses. Bids will then
be invited from companies and the
successful company will be handed
over the project for development within
a specified period of time.
Issues Regarding Mega Steel
Projects
India has a set a target of 120 MT of
steel production by 2012-13, which
will be largely met through brownfield
expansion. However, India is the only
T
he 11th Asian Steel Conference which was held in Mumbai from April 13
to 14, 2012 at Hotel Orchid aimed at providing a forum to explore
various techno-commercial aspects of the steel business and examine key
issues facing the industry. This conference covered the entire spectrum of the
requirements of a modern day steel industry and discussed the topic, 'Future of
Mega Steel Projects in India'.
This report highlights about the government's proposal of mega steel
projects and how this would contribute to the growth of steel sector.
Simultaneously, steel industry is struggling with severe land acquisition
problems and raw material security issues currently, which need to be resolved
to ensure future growth of the industry. Why there's a conflict of opinion
between the government and industry over linking captive mines to these
projects, and how if the government manages to overcome these hurdles,
mega steel projects could be seen as an alternative.
country that has got over the economic
meltdown of last year registering a
positive growth in steel production this
year. This shows that the demand for
steel is growing in the double digits
fearing concerns that unless new
capacity comes up at fast pace, the
country could become a dumping
ground for steel.
Summing up, setting a steel plant of
10 mtpa capacity requires around Rs
50,000 crore of investment. Also,
every such plant consumes 16 mt of
iron ore and 10 mt of coking coal
annually. The huge funding and raw
material requirement, coupled with
heavy land, water and power demand,
pushes up input costs of large-sized
44 April 2012
steel plants. The industry was,
therefore, demanding captive mines
linked with UMSPs.
These mega projects have been
facing problems like land acquisition,
mining linkage, etc., hence Tata Steel
has put on hold its plans to set up a 12
MT per annum integrated steel plant in
Jharkhand and a 6 MT unit in Orissa.
The much-famed plan of ArcelorMittal
of setting up massive steel plants in
India, announced in 2005, is now
looking dispirited.
The steel companies though are not
encouraged. In their opinion there is no
another need of policy to set up mega
steel plants. It will be better to give the
same status to the present steel plants
A
mega steel plant will use less land
per tonne of steel capacity and also
rationalise the use of resources like water and
power. We should instead look to retain the
present form of Indian steel industry, which

Comments from the industry
professionals:
ones. The focus should be on making the
present projects progress as fast as possible.
India's steel demand is expected to grow
8 percent this fiscal year, faster than last
year, as demand rises for homes, offices and
automobiles amid optimism interest rates
will fall. Demand is likely to expand from
last year's growth of 5.5 percent. Output at
India's steel mills grew 6 percent in the year
ended March 31 to 72 million metric tons,
after plants expanded capacity at plants.
The nation's annual steelmaking capacity is
expected to increase more than 7 percent
this year, crossing 100 million tons.
T
he Draft Steel Policy encourages and
supports setting up of Mega Steel
Projects of 10 MT or more capacity. The
logic being, only these can bring about vast
capacity additions envisaged. Only Mega
steel projects require less land per MT
compared to medium and small, and also
economy of scale shall increase viability. The
Policy suggests few incentives and
Government Supports to these projects. At
Jharkhand State level meeting, it was
suggested to lower it from 10 MT to 5 or 6
MT, to get the status of Mega Steel project
and avail the concessions , since, very few
players can come up for such Huge
Investments. That, in the Draft steel policy,
(Expert group 3), allocation of mineral
concessions was suggested for only those
producing more than 5 MT. This was
vehemently objected by Jharkhand team,
and any plant of more than 1 Mt,
particularly if they are installing facilities
like Beneficiation, pelletization, Sintering
etc should be considered for allocation of
Mineral concessions. That, the policy should

he future lies ahead for small and
medium size steel plant in rural India
where the government has lined up mega
investment plans for the next Five Year Plan.
Since, the Plan emphasizes infrastructure
growth especially in tier III and tier IV cities
and logistics cost have been consistently on
a rise, steel plants to the tune of 1 million
tonnes of annual capacity can find speedy
clearance from environment as well as
rehabilitation, if required. Also, looking at
the fate of mega steel projects that have
been hanging for the last several years, the
small and mini steel projects require small
chunk of land which even the government
can provide from its own land bank. The
government in the last annual budget
allocated Rs 5000 crore for developing
warehouses which requires huge quantity of
steel. Development of new rakes, coaches
and highways also offers immense potential
for mini and medium steel plant which can
run even with a lower raw material back up.
Hence, a major shift in policy is required
from allocating mineral resources to mega
steel projects to insuring raw material
assurance to small and medium size steel
mills.
in India, only medium and small steel
projects shall come up, who have less land
requirement, less quantity of raw material ,
hence logistics requirements, which seems to
be more feasible. It was unanimously agreed
by all that LAND is the most important Issue
in our country , which is the biggest
deterrent in putting up Green Field projects
and unless something drastic is initiated by
Government, Steel capacity rise shall be
limited , as , after 2015-16, no further Brown
Field expansions is possible.

Our search for information on Antur
Fort on Google satellite map (Google
Earth), brought into view rectangular
shapes resembling water tanks.
Located west of Antur, they formed a
part of dome shaped hill adjacent to
an arm extending out of the Ajintha
– Satmala mountain range. Curiosity
about these rectangular shapes
put us on the path of investigation/
exploring the same. Primarily, we
checked if any information was
available about monuments or forts
or caves, next to Antur (to the west)
in books viz. Dongaryatra, GadKille Maharashtrache. However, the
available information was about
Pitalkhore and Kanhergad, to the
west of Antur. Hence, we decided to
personally visit the hill and started off
towards Nagad on 20th May 2012.
The route towards this hill goes via
Nagad on the Chalisgaon- Sillod
Road and then taking an immediate
right on Nagad – Banoti road. Turning
right before Nagad (Pangra), the road
reaches the base of Mahadev Taka
Hill. The distance from Nasik (via
Malegaon – Chalisgaon) is 191 kms.
After proceeding ahead of Nagad, it
was rather unclear to us about the
exact hill we were trying to locate.
We turned right at a point where
we saw a name board which read
“Shri Shambhu Dhyaan Ashram,
Mahadev Taka”. On enquiring further,
we became aware that there is an
Ashram at the foot of the hill and
also that there is a water tank called
Mahadev Taka. Traversing the hill
from the east, we stopped our car at
the base. Looking at Mahadev Taka,
our first reaction was “It’s a hillock !”. (Senior Historian) opines that, these

The remains of foundations of that this fort may be older than its

In Dr. Dalvi’s opinion these caves
of Hinayana era have remained
incomplete probably due to lack
of financial support or political
changes. He also adds that the
cave with four steps and other two
pillared caves may have been ‘
Viharas / Leni ’. About the period of
the caves, Dr. Arunchandra Pathak
and Dr. Suraj Pandit have a different
opinion. According to them, these
unfinished caves would be from a
later era i.e. Yadava Period. A visit
to the place & detailed study by
scholars of the subject can throw
more light on the history of these
caves and fort.
The devotees informed us that
the people staying in the vicinity
belong to the Banjara, Pardeshi,
Patil and Bhill tribes. Farmers here,

Banana, Jowar, Bajra etc.
Localites refer to this hill as
Mahadev Taka. However, the postal
address of the hamlets at the base is
Lonza Shivar, Nagad, Tal.– Kannad,
Dist. - Aurangabad. This address
played a crucial role in determining
the exact name of the fort. There
is a passing reference (without
precise location) to this fort in the
gazateer of Aurangabad District
as ‘LONGHA’ and the directory of
Villages mentions a village named
‘LONZA’. Map no. 44(i) of the
Census of India 2001, Maharashtra,
Administrative Atlas, also refers to
the village as ‘LONZA’ and marks
it as ‘Uninhabited Village’. The
co-ordinates given in the directory
of villages and map no. 44(i)
undoubtedly match with location
of Fort Lonza. These records prove
that the fort discovered is none
other than ‘Fort Lonza’. Also,
Conservation assistant of the
Archaeological Survey of India,
Nashik sub-circle, B. B. Sukhdeve,
after confirming with the ASI
office, Auranagbad circle, informed
Times of India (Nasik edition) that
the fort is not listed in the central,
state or national records. A study
of numerous related books viz.
Report on the Antiquities in the
Bidar and Aurangabad Districts by
James Burgess (1878), Mediaeval
Temples of the Dakhan by Henry
Cousens (1931), Late Hinayana
Caves of Western India by Dr. M.K.
Dhavalikar (1984) and others, lead
us to believe that the caves on the
fort have been unexplored as yet.
For establishing the status of the
