No gold shifted outside India in 2014 or thereafter, says RBI refuting reports

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Friday said no gold was shifted outside the country in 2014 or thereafter. The statement comes against the backdrop of reports in certain sections of the print and social media regarding the central bank shifting abroad a part of its gold holding in 2014.  It is a normal practice for central banks world over to keep their gold reserves overseas with central banks of other countries like Bank of England for safe custody, according to the statement.  "It is further stated that no gold was shifted by the RBI from India to other countries in 2014 or thereafter. Thus the media reports cited above are factually incorrect," the statement said.  The Congress party had tweeted a report regarding shifting of 200 tonne of the RBI's gold to Switzerland in 2014.

Who is responsible for the Amritsar Train Accident (Oct 2018)?

Shashank Chaudhery , works at Ministry of Home Affairs, India (2018-present) Mechanical Engineer at Indian Railways (2016-present) I would not solely attribute the mishap to the people. 1)The people: Yes, it was the foolish act of watching effigy burn standing on the railway tracks. They took their own life. Even a person with poor mind and memory will understand that standing there can cost their life. 2) Station house officer: I would say it was a mistake of him too as the media says SHO gave the permission for organizing the event near the railway's track which was a foolish and stupid act by him. 3) Organizers: How can they organize an event near 100m of a railway track and if they did they would have announced to people not to stand there or volunteers should have driven them off 4) Drivers: I personally feel he wasn't at fault as he got a green signal and he was told not to stop the train. 5) Navjot Kaur Siddhu: I don't find her fault too. It is

What do we learn in the Big 4s such as the PWC, KPMG, EY, and Deloitte that the Mediocre CA firms cannot provide?

Harsh Dhiman , works at EY (2017-present) Former Senior Consultant at EY (2011-2016) I think I am partially qualified to answer this. Partially because though I work at a big four but I am not from the assurance background, nor did I do my internships here. Learning is something that is subjective, I have seen people coming to EY and learning and teaching us more than we expected, but some students come and just waste their time. Moreover, learning is about your willingness - people claim to learn lots at a young startup and there are some who do not learn anything at the biggest of firms. So it would be appropriate to say that there is no correlation between learning and company size. Coming back to Big 4s, I think one of most intriguing facts I read is that  the big four firms audit 99% of all Fortune 100 companies . You can just imagine the kind of clients we have on our plate every morning. We deal with best of best and biggest of the biggest firms; firms that actual

Many Achievements of Former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee!

As the first non-Congress politician to complete five years as Prime Minister, Vajpayee’s Premiership was as significant as it was eventful.
