24 June - International Day of Women in Diplomacy. Looking forward to World Safe ePay Day

 

World Safe ePay Day  is still conceptual


, and I am pitching this wherever possible.

Yes, World Safe ePay Day  is possible, the journey is a bit long, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

No Vada Pav till the initial breakthrough.


There are several days in Mumbai, where breakfast/lunch/dinner was Vada Pav only !!!

**Why mark International Days?**

International days and weeks educate the public on critical issues, mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and celebrate humanity's achievements. Though predating the UN, these days are powerful advocacy tools embraced by the UN.

Yes, International Days are important to spread the Joy of our achievements and also address global problems.

International Days are an opportunity to mobilise political will to focus on global problems.

**World Safe ePay Day  Concept**

 

In the spirit of raising awareness and addressing critical global issues, the concept of **World Safe ePay Day ** is being pitched.

As financial transactions increasingly move from physical to digital, this proposed observance aims to highlight the importance of secure online payment practices.

By promoting safe e-payment methods, World Safe ePay Day  would protect individuals and communities from cyber threats, ensuring that the convenience of online transactions does not compromise security.

This observance parallels the importance of inclusive governance and secure financial systems, both crucial for societal wellbeing and advancement.

 

Safe and Stylish: Unveiling World Safe ePay Day   and Blouse Day Delights

Yes, the initial focus is on World Safe ePay Day  and little focus on World Blouse Day.

World Safe ePay Day  is abstract i.e one cannot feel digital transactions.

World Blouse Day is an opportunity for a visual impact.

The need for observing World Safe ePay Day  and World Blouse Day arises from the absence of dedicated global celebrations for these concepts. World Safe ePay Day  aims to celebrate the joy of safe electronic payments in all financial transactions, representing an abstract celebration that highlights the significance of secure and efficient digital financial interactions. As the world increasingly relies on electronic payment systems, having a designated day for Safe ePay emphasizes the importance of secure and reliable digital financial transactions.

 

On the other hand, World Blouse Day seeks to celebrate the joys of wearing blouses in a more lively and visually impactful manner. The concept involves a powerful display of togetherness, with millions of people stepping out wearing blouses based on a chosen theme. This display celebration not only promotes a sense of unity but also serves as a unique and creative expression of shared identity through clothing.

 

While international days often focus on serious matters, World SafeePay Day and World Blouse Day offer a mix of abstract and lively celebrations, catering to the diverse interests and aspects of modern life.

In a world where electronic transactions and cultural expressions are integral parts of daily living, these designated days would contribute to fostering awareness and appreciation for safe ePayments and the joy of wearing blouses.

**Inclusive Diplomacy**

Historically overlooked, women's contributions to diplomacy are immense. Representing half of the world’s population, women bring diverse leadership styles and priorities, enhancing diplomacy’s scope and outcomes.

Research shows that women's involvement in cabinets and parliaments leads to laws and policies beneficial to people, the environment, and social cohesion.

Women have the knack to see issues from other angles, which is helpful to resolve the problem at hand.

Inclusive governance ensures better-informed policies by incorporating diverse perspectives. However, violence against women in politics hinders progress toward gender equality, deterring women from participating in politics and voicing opinions.

 

Women have played crucial roles in the UN since its founding in 1945. The UN General Assembly, the world's largest yearly meeting of leaders, has seen limited female representation, with only four women elected as Presidents in 77 years. The 15-member UN Security Council also has a low percentage of female members.

 

Recognizing women’s contributions in diplomacy is vital. From 1992 to 2019, women represented a small fraction of negotiators, mediators, and signatories in peace processes worldwide. Gender equality and women's empowerment contribute significantly to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 

The General Assembly declared 24 June as the International Day of Women in Diplomacy to promote women’s representation in diplomacy. The resolution invites global observance through education and public awareness.

 

**The Power of Women Peacebuilders**

Women play a crucial role in justice, peace, and security but are often sidelined in formal peace processes. Women peacebuilders work tirelessly to broker and maintain peace, rebuilding societies from conflict. Their inclusion in peacebuilding is essential for long-term success, contributing to lasting peace after conflict.

 

Disclaimer: These are my thoughts only. The only focus is spreading the Joy of Safe  ePayments, and World Safe ePay Day  is one of the channels. Nothing More – Nothing Less.

23 June – United Nations Public Service Day. Looking forward to World Safe ePay Day

 

The United Nations Public Service Day celebrated worldwide on June 23rd every year, is in the list of UN Observance Days.



This is not a remembrance event as this day is not spent to remember an event/thought but to celebrate the contributions of Public Servants worldwide.

Observances are remembrance, awareness, and celebration days or events that don't typically involve a day off work, allowing people to maintain their routines while focusing on a specific theme or idea.

Unlike public holidays, observances like Halloween and Valentine’s Day in the US significantly impact business demand across industries.

Imagine the global impact of these events, each with regional observances you might not be aware of.

Yes, there are many regional observances and remembrance days which have an economic  impact on the local economy.

 

Consider the potential influence of ** World Safe ePay Day ** on a global scale.

As financial transactions increasingly move from the physical to the digital realm, this observance could raise awareness about the importance of secure online payment practices.

 

**Why mark International Days?**

International days and weeks educate the public on critical issues, mobilize political will and resources to address global problems and celebrate and reinforce human achievements.

The United Nations, recognizing the power of these observances as advocacy tools, has embraced them to address and highlight various global concerns.

By promoting ** World Safe ePay Day **, we can emphasize the necessity of secure financial transactions in our digital age, ensuring the safety and security of global financial interactions.

 

Designating a day as World Safe ePay Day has multiple benefits.

The top 4 benefits of World Safe ePay Day can be summarised as follows:

Benefit 01) Promotion of Cybersecurity Awareness

Benefit 02) Enhancement of  Customer Confidence

Benefit 03) Support for Economic Growth and Financial Inclusion

Benefit 04) Strengthening Global Cooperation.

Our country is the leader in Digital Transactions and flag of World Safe ePay Day can be first unveiled in our country.

As the idea grows, we can popularise it across the world.

 

United Nations Public Service Day, designated on 23 June by the General Assembly's resolution A/RES/57/277, celebrates the value and virtue of public service to the community.

It highlights the contributions of public service to the development process, recognizes the work of public servants, and encourages young people to pursue careers in the public sector.

Economies flourish when young people enter the public sector. The young blood can motivate the local population to be aware of their rights and the way to leverage their strength.

 

Since its inception in 2003, the UN Public Service Awards have become the most prestigious international recognition of excellence in public service, rewarding the creative achievements of public service institutions that enhance effective and responsive public administration globally.

 

The United Nations Public Service Forum, organized annually by UN DESA, is a global event focusing on public governance capacity development.

It explores emerging challenges, innovative practices, and capacity development strategies to support sustainable development.

The Forum brings together world leaders, policymakers, practitioners, and innovators in governance, alongside representatives from international organizations, academia, non-profits, and the private sector.

The 2024 UN Public Service Forum and Awards Ceremony will take place in Incheon, Republic of Korea from 24 to 26 June 2024, under the theme ‘Fostering Innovation amid Global Challenges: a Public Sector Perspective’.

 

The Forum is co-organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) through its Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety of the Republic of Korea (MOIS).

The Forum will provide a platform for Ministers, senior level decision-makers, and working level public servants to reflect upon and develop the skills needed to devise tangible actions to foster innovation and transformation at the local and national levels. 

 

The Forum will also provide the opportunity to highlight innovative public sector initiatives through its 2024 United Nations Public Service Awards Ceremony.

The highlight will be the takeaways from the Award night for the public servants gathered worldwide.

 

** World Safe ePay Day Concept**

In conjunction with United Nations Public Service Day, the concept of ** World Safe ePay Day ** is being pitched to raise awareness about secure online payment practices.

This proposed observance aims to emphasize the importance of secure financial transactions in our increasingly digital world, drawing parallels to the critical role of public service. By promoting safe e-payment methods, World Safe ePay Day would seek to protect individuals and communities from cyber threats, ensuring that the convenience of online transactions does not compromise security.

Recognizing both days highlights essential resources for societal wellbeing and advancement.

June 22 – World Bathing Day. Looking forward to World Safe ePay Day.

 What are your plans for World Bathing Day?

         Please note that World Bathing Day is not in the calendar  of UN Remembrance / Observances.

         World Bathing Day is an initiative of a private organization



         There is a petition in progress to United Nations to include World Bathing Day in its calendar.

         This means private organizations do take the initiative to designate a day to focus on a particular idea/theme.

         A focused day on a particular idea/theme is a powerful tool to spread the word about the benefits of the idea/theme.

         Simply put, observances are remembrance, awareness, and celebration days or events that are not normally days off work. These events are inherently different from public holidays. This means folks can do their routine work, but for some time, the focus is on a particular theme/idea/thought.

While observances in the US such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day don’t mean a day off, they do impact business demand across industries.

Imagine the impact these events have not just within a single territory or even country, but globally–  each with their own regional observances you might not have insight into.

So, see the impact ‘World Safe ePay Day’ can have across the world.

More and more financial transactions are moving from the physical realm to digital realm.

Designating a day as World Safe ePay Day has multiple benefits.

The top 4 benefits of World Safe ePay Day can be summarised as follows:

Benefit 01) Promotion of Cybersecurity Awareness

Benefit 02) Enhancement of  Customer Confidence

Benefit 03) Support for Economic Growth and Financial Inclusion

Benefit 04) Strengthening Global Cooperation.

Our country is the leader in Digital Transactions and flag of World Safe ePay Day can be first unveiled in our country.

         World Safe ePay Day is an opportunity to raise global awareness and celebration of secure electronic payments.

In an era where financial transactions increasingly occur in the digital realm, this observance can  highlight the importance of safety and reliability in electronic payment systems worldwide.

**World Bathing Day on June 22** celebrates the diverse rituals and traditions of bathing, cleansing, and rejuvenation, while highlighting the critical issue of clean water access, as one in three people globally lack it.

 

Celebrated in over 50 countries, participants share photos on social media to raise awareness of water’s cultural and historical significance.

 

The $56 billion hot springs industry promotes World Bathing Day events, encouraging the sharing of bathing images on Instagram using #worldbathingday.

 

This day also addresses the severe health consequences of limited access to clean bathing water, such as the daily deaths of 1,000 children from water-related diseases and the extensive time women and girls spend gathering water, which affects their education and hope.

Created by the Bathe the World Foundation and supported by the GWI Hot Springs Initiative, World Bathing Day aims to unite people through the practice of hot springs bathing.

This act highlights the interconnectedness of community and planetary wellbeing. The concept of World Bath Day took off in  2018, and  the event has drawn participants from across the globe, emphasizing humanity’s interdependent relationship with water.

 

In conjunction with World Bathing Day, the concept of ** World Safe ePay Day ** is being developed.

This proposed observance aims to raise awareness about secure online payment practices.

Just as World Bathing Day highlights the importance of clean water, World Safe ePay Day would emphasize the necessity of secure financial transactions in our increasingly digital world.

 

Promoting safe e-payment methods can protect individuals and communities from cyber threats, ensuring that the convenience of online transactions does not compromise security.

By recognizing both days, we can draw parallels between the essential resources of water and secure financial systems, both critical for the wellbeing and advancement of society.

More details of World Bathing Day can be found on the website of Bathe the World Foundation @ https://worldbathingday.org/

June 21 International Day of Yoga. Looking forward to World Safe ePay Day

  


Simply put, observances are remembrance, awareness, and celebration days or events that are not normally days off work. These events are inherently different from public holidays. This means folks can do their routine work, but the focus is on a particular theme / idea / thought for some time.

While observances in the US such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day don’t mean a day off, they do impact business demand across industries.

Imagine these events' impact not just within a single territory or even country, but globally–  each with their own regional observances you might not have insight into.

So, see the impact ‘World Safe ePay Day’ can have worldwide.

More and more financial transactions are moving from the physical realm to the digital realm.

Our country is the leader in Digital Transactions and flag of World Safe ePay Day can be first unveiled in our country.

As the idea grows, we can popularise it across the world.

World Safe ePay Day can be a significant milestone in global awareness and celebration of  secure electronic payments.

The time is NOW to take the concept of World Safe ePay Day forward.

Please note that designating a day as World Safe ePay Day does not require any Software or Hardware upgrades. So, the investment is minimal.

World Safe ePay Day can be an opportunity to unveil new Digital Transactions Products, showcase the future of  Digital Transactions.

International Days serve as vital platforms for educating the public about global issues, rallying political support and resources for addressing challenges, and celebrating human accomplishments.

These observances, established before the United Nations, have become effective tools for advocacy.

On International Observance Days, offices or other commercial establishments are not closed. They function as normal.

Only few hours are set aside to ponder about the specific observance.

 

World Safe ePay Day, still in its conceptual stage, aims to highlight the importance of secure electronic payments, promoting awareness and advancing cybersecurity measures globally.

 

The International Day of Yoga, established on June 21st, celebrates the ancient practice that unites body and consciousness through physical, mental, and spiritual harmony.

 

Proposed by India's Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in 2014, this day aims to raise global awareness about the transformative benefits of yoga.

 

Emphasizing themes such as "Yoga for Self and Society," it promotes holistic well-being and mindfulness in modern lifestyles.

 

Similarly, World Safe ePay Day, though in its conceptual stage, seeks to spotlight the importance of secure electronic payments, aligning with global efforts to enhance digital financial security and promote safe transaction practices worldwide.

The path is long but feasible.

Safe and Stylish: Unveiling World Safe ePay Day and Blouse Day Delights

 

The need for observing World Safe ePay Day and World Blouse Day arises from the absence of dedicated global celebrations for these concepts.

World Safe ePay Day aims to celebrate the joy of safe electronic payments in all financial transactions, representing an abstract celebration that highlights the significance of secure and efficient digital financial interactions.

As the world increasingly relies on electronic payment systems, having a designated day for SafeePay emphasizes the importance of secure and reliable digital financial transactions.

 

On the other hand, World Blouse Day seeks to celebrate the joys of wearing blouses in a more lively and visually impactful manner.

The concept involves a powerful display of togetherness, with millions of people stepping out wearing blouses based on a chosen theme.

This display celebration not only promotes a sense of unity but also serves as a unique and creative expression of shared identity through clothing.

 

The introduction of these days aligns with the United Nations' approach to designating specific days to raise awareness, promote action, and celebrate achievements related to various global issues.

While international days often focus on serious matters, World Safe ePay Day and World Blouse Day offer a mix of abstract and lively celebrations, catering to the diverse interests and aspects of modern life.

In a world where electronic transactions and cultural expressions are integral parts of daily living, these designated days would contribute to fostering awareness and appreciation for safe ePayments and the joy of wearing blouses.

Brief Background on United Nations Observances

The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool.

The United Nations observes designated days, weeks, years, and decades, each with a theme, or topic.

By creating special observances, the United Nations promotes international awareness and action on these issues.

Each international day offers many actors the opportunity to organize activities related to the theme of the day.

Organizations and offices of the United Nations system, and most importantly, governments, civil society, the public and private sectors, schools, universities and, more generally, citizens, make an international day a springboard for awareness-raising actions.

The majority of observances have been established by resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, although some have been designated by UN specialized agencies.

The United Nations also observes anniversaries of key events in its history.

Towards this observances, World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe.

It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.

World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.

Ahmedabad Prepares: Vande Bharat Limited Edition Trains for India vs. Pakistan in Cricket World Cup 2023

 Ahmedabad Prepares: Vande Bharat Limited Edition Trains for India vs. Pakistan in Cricket World Cup 2023

The highly anticipated ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 clash between India and Pakistan is set to take place in Ahmedabad on October 14 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium.

 


However, cricket enthusiasts can now breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to the exorbitant flight ticket prices that had surged due to the overwhelming demand for this epic showdown.

Indian Railways is gearing up to launch Vande Bharat Special trains, making travel to Ahmedabad more accessible and affordable for fans.

The match is expected to start off at 2pm.

So the special Vande Bharat Train has to reach Ahmedabad at least by 12.30pm, to enable the cricket fans to reach the stadium in time.

Do note to buy the special customised merchandise on the Limited Editions Vande Bharat Trains.

These specially organized trains will originate from various states including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, with stops at Sabarmati and Ahmedabad, conveniently located near the Narendra Modi Stadium.

 

The strategic scheduling ensures that the trains arrive in Ahmedabad just a few hours before the commencement of the match.

This approach aims to address issues like expensive travel and limited lodging options, making the journey more convenient for cricket enthusiasts.

 

A senior official explained the rationale behind this arrangement, stating that the timing allows passengers to return to their home destinations shortly after the thrilling contest concludes.

It's a thoughtful move that enhances the overall experience for fans attending the game.

 

In addition to the practical benefits, Indian Railways plans to add a touch of patriotism and nostalgia to the journey.

 

Passengers can expect to enjoy patriotic music, relive memorable moments from past India-Pakistan cricket encounters, and even access special merchandise.

With their deep-rooted cricket rivalry, spanning seven encounters in World Cups, these special trains promise to contribute to the excitement and camaraderie surrounding this epic clash.

 

The Narendra Modi Stadium, formerly known as Motera Stadium, is situated in Ahmedabad, a city in the Indian state of Gujarat.

 

Sabarmati Junction Station, identified by the code SBI, stands as one of the closest railway stations to the Sardar Patel Stadium, with a mere 5-6 kilometers separating the two.

 

When traveling from Ahmedabad Railway Station to Narendra Modi Stadium, you'll cover roughly 6 kilometres. Depending on traffic conditions, this journey typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

 

Getting to Narendra Modi Stadium may pose some challenges, but with careful planning and research, individuals can successfully find their way to the venue, regardless of their chosen mode of transportation.

NPCI NACH – Penalty for high %age of NACH Debit Returns


NPCI NACH Team vide Cir No 24 dt August 18th 2023, introduced the Penalty Policy for high %age of NACH Debit Transaction Returns.



The circular highlights are as follows:

NPCI has informed NACH Member Banks to refer to the various communications from NPCI highlighting the elevated percentage of returns in ACH debit transactions.

In light of this, it is strongly recommended that all stakeholders proactively undertake the following measures:

01) Limit the display of returned transactions to twice, comprising one initial presentation and two subsequent representations.

 

02) The representation of a returned transaction can only take place three days after the return date.

 

03) Representation should occur only upon receiving confirmation from the respective customer regarding the availability of sufficient balance.

 

04) In the event of recurring returns:

 

a. User institutions should establish communication with the customer to ensure that the presentation resumes only after receiving confirmation to honor the debit transactions.

b. Destination banks must assess the account's operations, advise the customer to maintain an adequate balance, and, if no improvement occurs, adhere to regulatory guidelines for managing such accounts.

 

Despite issuing repeated advisories to all relevant parties, it has come to NPCI's attention that the percentage of returns remains significantly above acceptable thresholds.

 

To instill clearing discipline, the following measures will be gradually implemented according to the provided schedule:

 

Phase I With effect from 1st October 2023:

1. Additional charges of Rs. 1 per return transaction to be levied on corporate with returns above 50%.

 

 

Phase II - With effect from 1st January 2024:

1. Rs. 5 per return transaction for corporate with return above 50%. Additional Charges will be for transaction over and above the threshold ie.50%

Phase III - with effect from 1st April 2024:

1. The corporates with return transaction above 30% will be barred from registering new mandates.

2. The utility code will be barred for registering further new mandates until the returns are brought down below the 30% threshold.

 

NPCI has advised all stakeholders to take immediate remedial measures ensure adherence to the clearing discipline and reduce the returns.

 

 

 

 

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has taken a significant stride in revolutionizing electronic transactions with the introduction of the "National Automated Clearing House (NACH)."

This web-based solution has been meticulously designed to cater to a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including banks, financial institutions, corporates, and government bodies.

NACH Debit service, a critical component of NACH system, brings electronic automation to interbank high volume, low-value debit transactions.

At present, the NACH transactions can be processed on all days of the week, i.e Sundays and holidays too.

These transactions, characterized by their frequent and repetitive nature, are seamlessly processed through the NPCI platform.

This unified and standardized framework resolves bottlenecks and challenges associated with electronic transmission, both at the local and national levels, thereby contributing to the growth of core banking services.

 

One of the key functions of the NACH System is to serve as a robust platform for executing bulk transactions.

This functionality proves invaluable in scenarios such as the distribution of subsidies, dividends, interest, salary disbursements, and pensions.

Additionally, it facilitates bulk collections of payments for various utilities and financial services like telephone bills, electricity charges, water bills, loan repayments, mutual fund investments, and insurance premiums.

 

At its core, the National Automated Clearing House (NACH) represents a centralized system with a grand vision. It seeks to consolidate and harmonize the multitude of Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) systems operating throughout the country.

By doing so, it aims to establish a standardized framework and eliminate local barriers, thus promoting seamless interbank transactions. Furthermore, NACH's reach is expansive, covering the entire network of core banking-enabled bank branches across the nation, regardless of their geographic location.

 

It offers a single set of rules encompassing operational and business aspects, open standards, and industry best practices.

These provisions are designed to ensure consistency in electronic transactions for all participants, service providers, and users.

 

In addition to its overarching objectives, the NACH system empowers member banks with customization capabilities. It allows banks to design their own products and caters to specific needs through features like a refined Mandate Management System (MMS) and an online Dispute Management System (DMS). These tools are complemented by robust information exchange and customized Management Information System (MIS) capabilities.
