After months of an economic slowdown, corporate India has started hiring again. While layoffs and salary cuts may not be the order of the day anymore, employers continue to be cautious.
The latest data with job portal naukri.com shows that hiring activity has picked up 13 per cent in the first half of September and it is in double digits for the first time since last year. While some sectors like FMCG and healthcare are hiring in big numbers, others like IT,real estate, retail, media, advertising and exports still need to catch up.

Sound sleep 'adds better exam results'
A new study by University of Pittsburgh has revealed that a night of "high quality sleep" sleep adds up to better exam results.
The researchers have based their findings on an analysis of the sleep patterns
of 56 adolescents and comparing their sleep patterns with their exam grades. They found that higher scores were related to greater sleep quality, less awakenings rather than actual length of time asleep.

3G spectrum auction deferral leads to $16 Billion loss
The continuous deferral of 3G spectrum auction has resulted in a loss of $16 billion, as per a study. The losses are incurred in terms of direct investments and notional productivity gains.
The findings are based on study conducted by LECG, a global consulting firm. "The Indian market has been ready for 3G for a long time. Many of the operators have been planning to launch 3G services since 2005," Jaikishan Rajaraman, Senior Director with the GSM Association told Mint. The delays are mainly caused due the difference between the government and the department of telecom (DOT) on the reserved price, which has to be charged. "The more you delay the auction, the greater is the cost of capital at a later time when the auction does happen," said Rajaraman. According to him, investments in 3G in India would lead to an economic benefit worth around $70 billion.
The onset of 3G services is usually accompanied by an increased usage of mobile broadband (or high speed Internet services). For every 10 percent increase in the broadband penetration, there is an increase of 0.1-1.4 percent in the country's gross domestic product (GDP). There are a number of variables that can be included in losses due to the delay in auctioning 3G services said an expert. "These could be revenues that could have been garnered from subscribers added, licence fees, spectrum fees, direct and indirect employment, revenues to the value added services operators, handsets sales and even income tax to the government," Mahesh Uppal, director with Com First (India).

Firing.....
With 5 jobs lost globally every minute, little surprisingly the number is piling up in the Indian IT industry too.
Neutral Referee
When 14th Lok Sabha draw to a close, it was also the last day in office for Speaker Somnath Chatterjee. This Lok Sabha will be remembered for many things, including a new law in parliamentary behaviour when MPs waved wads of cash inside the House during last year's trust vote.
Like a good headmaster, Chatterjee was always coming up with measures to discipline MPs who disrupted proceedings in the House. He had controversially proposed that MPs who forced adjournment of the House should not get their daily allowance. He had also suggested invoking certain parliamentary rules that are rarely enforced. He talked about enforcing Rule 373, which allows the Speaker to throw out any member whose conduct is "grossly disorderly", and Rule 374A which provides for "automatic suspension of a member" for causing "grave disorder" and "wilfully obstructing" the business of the House.
There were times when he went over the top, only to regret it later. Just days before his term as Speaker ended, an exasperated Chatterjee said that MPs don't deserve even "one paisa" of public money after members of several political parties stormed the well and disrupted the question hour. He added for good measure that they did not deserve to be elected in the next polls. But like a good Bengali bhadralok, he later regretted his comments saying that he had made them out of "frustration".
The best thing about Chatterjee was that he was by and large a neutral referee, as a Speaker should be, and mindful of the importance of the post. Even after his party, the CPM, had withdrawn support from the UPA government Chatterjee refused to step down, arguing that as a Speaker, who was elected unanimously, he did not owe allegiance to any political party. Whether Chatterjee's interventions will have any long-term impact on the way business is conducted in the House remains to be seen. But he brought the issue of parliamentary norms and behaviour to centre stage. As we bid Chatterjee goodbye, let's hope that some of his concerns will rub off on his parliamentary colleagues.
