Users will be able to view and purchase the 3-D cards starting next week. Citing about the 3-D cards, Veerendra Jaitly, another IITian (IIT Kharagpur, 1979) associated with the company as Advisor, Mentor and Director, tells- " Range of 3-D cards will also be personalized. User will be able to create their own message in the same way as they were doing for normal printed cards. Only difference is in the process of finish. The printed cards have a dual finish system, while the 3-D range needs 4 rounds of finishing. From user perspective, it just adds one more day in the processing. Demand of 3-D cards has currently come from our Corporate clients but we are sure that retail users will also like them." The team is working on 3-D modeling technology for giving the users a real time feel of the cards without even touching them. "Media is providing us good coverage and it is helping us add more users. But our total thrust is on Better Customer Service, because it is the service that matters most for the customer, apart from the product quality. It would be very early to comment, but our customers have started appreciating our customer service and time bound response mechanism"- adds Jaitly.

About CafeGadgets.in

CafeGadgets.in is a fastest growing IT and Consumer Electronics e-tailor in India that offers a comprehensive range of over 50 brands and 1400 technology and digital lifestyle products at heavily discounted prices. All of their products come with original manufacturer’s warranty. The online shopping portal offers massive discount in the prices as compared to the normal street price of the products as it has direct business tie-ups and arrangements with leading IT brands (manufacturers and vendors) and their tier-1 distributors. This helps the portal cut margins at various levels of distribution resulting into significant reductions.

Besides, the portal has a fully evolved logistic network spanning all market geographies in the country. Cafegadgets.in is the only portal of its kind to offer free doorstep delivery of products in shortest possible time without any charges whatsoever. As a result, the customer pays exactly what is listed on the portal rather than misleading and escalated costs including shipment charges—as is the case with most e-commerce ventures. Deliveries in metro cities are done within three days while those in other places take a maximum of seven days from payment realization.

For the first time ever naaptol.com has introduced product feature comparison unlike other online shopping sites which offer only price comparisons. Naaptol.com is a step ahead from others since it has also roped in offline sellers, who sell through their shops and only list their products on the website. This way the user can research, compare both the products and the offers by the different sellers and then finally make a choice. With the help of the option to choose the city of the offline seller, the user can narrow down his search for an offline seller in his near location. He can make note of the address of the nearest seller and personally visit the shop and purchase the product after due examination. Thus naaptol.com reaches out to you and provides you with the products, their features, price and availability according to your location.

Apart from these, naaptol.com also offers user discussion on the products listed. The exciting contests on naaptol reward the active user for their time and interactivity. At present IPL match tickets are being won on naaptol.

Under the RGGVY Programme 46,926 villages have been electrified so far and 2.13 million free connections have been provided to poor households and Rs.84 billion Government subsidy released.

RGGVY was approved for implementation in 11th Plan in January, 2008 at a cost of Rs.28000 crore. Since then 316 new projects have been approved at cost of about Rs.160 billion. These projects are likely to commence within next 6 months. The material component of these projects is expected to be 80% of the project cost. The electrical equipment industry will have to prepare itself to supply material requirements for these projects within the specified schedule. The project cycle of RGGVY projects is 18 months from the award. The supply will have to start within 3 months of the award and completed by 12th month to compress the implementation schedule to 15 months, which is the current endeavor of Ministry of Power.

Shri P. Uma Shankar, CMD, REC in his speech said that the ambitious targets of electrifying 1.15 lakh villages and release of 2.33 crore BPL connections under RGGVY need constant monitoring and coordination between various implementing agencies, REC and the Ministry of Power.

The Workshop deliberated on measures/ strategies to ensure timely availability of material/ equipment (which is 80% of project cost) as per quality specifications and in required quantities so that targets of this programme are achieved within time. In addition, there was extensive discussion on common procurement guidelines, standardization of specifications and major bottlenecks in speedy execution of projects. Best practices adopted in implementation of RGGVY scheme in 10th Plan by implementation agencies were shared for the benefit of participants and more effective implementation of the scheme in 11th Plan. The meeting was attended by officials of Ministry of Power, REC, various state level distribution companies and leading electrical equipment manufacturers of the country. Secretary, Ministry of Power released "Quality Control Manual" on this occasion. Shri S.C. Bhargava, President, IEEMA gave the Vote of Thanks.
