Indian students duped by a 'sham' university in California have been forced to wear radio-trackers around their ankles, triggering a wave of anger through the Indian community : Some 1,555 students of Tri-Valley University, 90% of them from India, mostly Andhra Pradesh, face the prospect of deportation following the closure of the university in Pleasanton on charges of selling student visas.



First, they were duped by the Tri Valley University in California. Then,
many of them were forced to wear radio collars around their ankles so
that the authorities could keep track of their movements.
Since the collars, fitted with GPS technology, are used to follow
suspects and criminals on parole, India has asked the US authorities to remove these “unwarranted monitors” and treat the students fairly.





Minister for overseas Indian affairs Vayalar Ravi said on Saturday
that the students were unaware of the fact that the university had no
registration.




“We requested the US state department to take a lenient view because
the students are innocent,” he said, adding that there were now enough
pointers to establish that the students were victims of no major fault
of theirs.


Vishnu Prakash, external affairs ministry spokesperson, said, “We
have conveyed to the US authorities that using collars to monitor a
group of students, who were detained and later released, is unwarranted.
The devices should be removed.”


A large number of Indian students had got transferred to Tri Valley
from other US universities, besides about 100 who had obtained visas in
India to enroll in the university after taking the required
authorisation.


Prakash said the students should be given the opportunity to clarify
their position. “Those who wish to return to India should be allowed to
do so voluntarily.”


New Delhi has asked Washington for information on the students and a
report on the investigation and action taken against the promoters of
the university.


So far, the principal investigator has provided the Indian consulate
in San Francisco a list of immigration attorneys, who are prepared to
guide or advise the students free of charge.


The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) proposes to post a
detailed advisory for all Tri Valley students on its website sometime
next week.





Some 1,555 students of Tri-Valley University, 90% of them from India,
mostly Andhra Pradesh, face the prospect of deportation following the
closure of the university in Pleasanton on charges of selling student
visas.





Some of the students who approached Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) to seek help were placed under ISAP (Intense
Supervision and Appearance Programme) and put in removal proceedings.





A number of students have already been interviewed by ICE agents,
most have been questioned and released but a few have been required to
wear ankle bracelets, Jayaram Komati of the Telugu Association of North
America (TANA) told IANS.





Throughout Saturday, Indian television channels had displaying
visuals of Indian students with radio trackers around one ankle, which
was apparently done to monitor their movements.





India protested the measure.





"We have conveyed to the US authorities that the students, most of
who are victims themselves, must be treated fairly and reasonably, and
that the use of monitors on a group of students, who were detained and
later released with monitors in accordance with US laws, is unwarranted
and should be removed," said Indian external affairs ministry spokesman
Vishnu Prakash in New Delhi.





US Deputy Chief of Mission Donald Lu was called to the external ministry and apprised of India's concerns over the measure.





Prakash said that MEA and Indian consulate general in San Francisco
are in touch with the Indian students and US authorities, adding that
"everything possible" will be done to safeguard the students'
"legitimate interests".





"The students should be given ample opportunity to clarify their
position and present their case; those who wish to return to India
should be allowed to do so voluntarily; those students who have not
violated any visa or immigration laws should be given opportunity to
adjust their status; and, those who are eligible to seek transfer to
other universities should be given adequate opportunity and time to do
so," he said.





The Indian community in the US has expressed shock and anger over the measure.





"It is very unfortunate that the students of the Tri Valley are being
treated like criminals for none of their fault," Ramesh Annamreddy,
another prominent community leader, said.





"Telugu community in North America is deeply disturbed", over the
development, said North America Telugu Society (NATS) president Ravi
Madala.





Requesting US Citizenship and Immigration Services to resolve this
issue immediately, Madala said, NATS will fight to protect the rights of
Indian students and is also working with the Indian external affairs
ministry to resolve the issue.





Overseas Friends of Bharatiya Janata Party (OFBJP) demanded immediate
intervention of Indian government asking it to "provide immediate
alternative arrangements for all these displaced students of Tri Valley
to complete their studies at no additional cost to them".





“It is a another big diplomatic failure of Indian government and the
result is the suffering of Indian students at the hands of US Department
of Homeland Security," said OFBJP President Adapa Prasad.





Meanwhile, Komati, whose organisation has some 35,000 members also
advised students attending Tri-Valley University to seek immigration
advice from an immigration attorney.





"Ultimately, we want to protect the kids within the boundaries of the
law," he said. "They are not here to break the law. This is no fault of
the students. It is the university not living up to the norms of
society."





Expressing shock at the news, North American Telugu Association
(NATA) A.V.N. Reddy said his organisation is is determined to make every
effort in helping students of Telugu community in their legal needs.





It has also organised a conference call for students at 12.00 p.m.
Sunday with immigration attorney Rajiv S. Khanna of immigration.com to
understand the students grievances and guide them on the immigration
issues.





Students can contact NATA for the conference call details by sending email to natacommunityservice@gmail.com with subject line "conference".





NATA is also planning to arrange counselling through Patrick Papallia
who is specialist on civil litigation and business law, a partner at
Herten & Burstien.





Meanwhile, the US authorities have opened a helpline for the Indian
students. "We have set up an email address and voicemail that Tri-Valley
students can use to contact ICE Homeland Security Investigations
directly with their questions," Lari K Haley, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson said.





Haley said any affected student can call the US number 415-844-5320
and leave the voice message. An ICE representative will return the call,
she said. Students can also write to 'SFRHSIFraud@dhs.gov', seeking help.



India has also asked US authorities for provide full information
about the students and keep it in the loop about investigations and
prosecution against the Tri-Valley University.

The U.S. Commerce Department easing restrictions of exports of high-technology goods to India in recognition of the two countries' stronger economic and national security ties thus ending export controls for India, lifts ban on ISRO, DRDO



"Today's action marks a significant milestone
in reinforcing the U.S.-India strategic partnership and moving forward
with export control reforms that will facilitate high-technology trade
and cooperation," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said in a statement.

It
follows President Barack Obama's meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh in November in New Delhi, where they announced plans to expand
cooperation in civil space, defense and other high technology sectors.

It
also contrasts with remarks made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner before Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit last week to the
United States.

Geithner tied the
possibility of increased U.S. high-technology exports to China to
movement by Beijing on currency and a number of trade reforms.

As
a first step in implementing Obama and Singh's commitment, the Commerce
Department's Bureau of Industry and Security said it would publish a
new rule changing how India was treated under Export Administration
Regulations (EAR).

A key measure
removes several Indian space and defense-related organizations from the
U.S. Entity List, which imposes extra export licensing requirements on
foreign groups or individuals whose activities have aroused concern
about the possible diversion of U.S. high-technology products that could
be used to build weapons of mass destruction.

Those
removed from the Entity List include Bharat Dynamics Limited, four
subordinates of India's Defense Research and Development Organization
and four subordinates of the All Indian Space Research Organization.

The
reforms also "realign" India's standing in the U.S. export control
regime by removing it from several country groups associated with
proliferation concerns. It adds India to a more favorable category
consisting of members of the Missile Technology Control Regime.

"These
changes reaffirm the U.S. commitment to work with India on our mutual
goal of strengthening the global nonproliferation framework," Under
Secretary of Commerce Eric Hirschhorn said in a statement.

Locke will lead 24 U.S. businesses on a high-tech trade mission to India in February.

The group includes Boeing, Exelon Nuclear Partners, Lockheed Martin and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy.

The
delegation, which also includes senior officials from the U.S.
Export-Import Bank and the Trade Development Agency, will make stops in
New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.

An
administration official, who briefed reporters on condition he not be
identified, said less than 1 percent of current U.S.-India trade was
affected by export controls.

However,
"the perception of onerous export controls certainly has been a
hindrance to high-technology trade over the years," the official said.



"The goal here is to make sure we are in the
best possible place to ensure trade in defense, civil space and
high-tech can proceed in an expeditious and ultimately prosperous
fashion," the official said.

Even
with the reforms announced on Monday, there will still to be licensing
requirements on many sensitive U.S. technologies that go to India, as
there on some technologies to all countries, the administration official
said.

Ford Figo Best “Indian Car Of The Year 2011”‎ critics and user reviews,specifications, specs, mileage, on road price ,cost of Diesel and Petrol Model in India with interior and exterior pictures and photos


The Ford Figo has won the title of "Indian Car of the Year 2011". The finalists for the ICOTY category this year were Chevrolet Beat, Ford Figo, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Nissan Micra, Skoda Yeti, Tata Aria, Volkswagen Polo and Volkswagen Vento, along with this Figo was awarded the following Awards at the Bloomberg UTV Autocar Awards:


  • ‘Value for Money Car 2011′

  • ‘Premium Compact Car’

  • ‘Viewers Choice – Car of the Year 2011′. 






The Figo has been in the limelight this year and this is clearly visible in the kind of sales figures the company has seen. Ford India has already sold 60,000 units of the Figo since its launch in March 2010. In addition to recognizing the Figo’s virtues, Ford India has been named “Manufacturer of the Year 2011″ for its innovative practices in manufacturing and engineering excellence.





Ford Figo Critics rating:





  • "Figo has the potential to be a success for Ford with competitive
    pricing," commented Adil Jal Darukhanwala of the Economic
    Times-ZigWheels, following a stint behind the wheel.

  • Shapur Kotwal, Indian editor for Auto Car, was extremely pleased with
    the driving dynamics offered in both diesel and petrol versions
    commenting "…Ford has done a superb job on front end design and in the
    choice of tyres for Figo. With competitive pricing, the 1.4 diesel
    engine can work very well for Ford in India."



FORD FIGO FEATURE HIGHLIGHT


 













.





 Ford Figo Review by team-bhp





The Ford Figo was launched in India at a price of 3.49 - 5.29 Lakh (ex-Delhi).





What you'll like about the Figo:




• Robust build and construction


• Interiors more comfortable than chief competitors i10 & Swift


• 1.4 Diesel's proven driveability and fuel efficiency. No turbolag


• The Ford Figo's mature big-car-like ride quality


• Ford's DNA in the on-road behaviour and quick steering


• Class-topping 284 liter boot space



What you won't:




• Lacks the modernity of recently launched hatchbacks


• Both of the engines in the Figo are lacking in outright performance. Neither engine can exploit the car's dynamics


• No true top-end variant (tilt adjustable steering, rear power windows, MID etc.)


• Average backseat legroom. Not in the league of, say, an Indica Vista


• Ford's sub-par dealership experience



Reported Fuel efficiency (Mileage):




• 1.2 Petrol : 11.2 (City) / 15.8 (Highway)


• 1.4 Diesel : 14.4 (City) / 18.5 (Highway)







Ford Figo User Review:








  • Look and Style : Very nice, good looking


    Comfort : Very good,hight not compert,back seat is not comforteble,and suddenbraeke applyed seat come forword in front side.


    Pickup : is very good, its suddenpicup


    Mileage : on city roads not elgble,highways is the best in class


    Best Features : Verry good, nice


    Needs to improve : Its very needs figo is ground claerence upgrade must,injon noise.






  • A clear winner among hatch backs

    Earlier last 4 months i was surfing and test driving on what car to choose my budget is max 7 Lakhs and according to my usage patten and raising fuel price decided to settle with a diesel.



    I 20 is above my budget and it has more buzz than what i expected


    Swift long wait period and same old design seems the new 2011 model is also not much different


     FIGO sounds good and i like the classy look and waste interior space


    PUNTO got impressed with the test drive on the 90 HP wow but the price is much higher than my budget moreover the service of TATA you know better


    I didnt own a FIGO But decided to bring home the FIGO Diesel Titanium ony Feb 2011







  • Comparision between EXI and ZXI versions of FORD FIGO DIESEL..CAR  : ZXI has additional bluetooth facility on Stereo, Wiper on back,motorised mirror and defoger.

  •  Think Twice Before Buying:


    Pros : Cheap price for the features, good pick-up till 80 KMPH



    Cons : Very weak skin, lots of engine trouble, electronic trouble, very poor mileage, low power



    Description :

    The car
    has acceptable pick-up in city limits. AC is good. Engine is also
    performing decently. And upto 100KMPH it feels good. Once you are in
    clear highway and you want open up this is not the ride for you.


    The real problem is car's electronics. I had trouble with starting and VSS(vehicle speed sensor). The skin sheathing is of very poor quality thus low safety. Mileage is very poor. My car has done 5K only and we hear lots of noises through out the body. The road clearance is very low and I doubt the claimed 160MM very much. I get rubbing sound on small rumble strips only with me driving. In my personal opinion it is not value for money.


    I must say some thing here that the help desk personnel are extremly
    good and I personally think they must be the best available in India.






  • Good Value for Money :


    Pros : new looks ,ford engine,better milage wt power



    Cons : gear shift not smooth



    Description :

    Look and Style :good style,front and back great design with muscular curves side view not much ok,back side looks like BMW x6


    Comfort : rear sittng very spaceous


    Pickup : very good in 1 st 3 rd gear


    Mileage : 17 average


    Best Features : acce;eration in 3 rd a 4 th gear and manurability


    Needs to improve : stoping and full sterring of wheel gives a noise at the end,which u fill at t steering


    Overall Experience : good value for money

Ford Figo on road Pricing /Cost in India:





Ford has priced the Figo on par with its
rivals with the base petrol 1.2 LXI retailing at Rs 4.12lakh (on-road
Mumbai), rising up to Rs 5.20lakh for the top-end Titanium variant. The
diesel Figo prices start at Rs 5.23lakh for the base 1.4 LXI, with the
top-of-the-line Titanium variant going up to Rs 6.20lakh. The hot hatch
also comes with a two year warranty. So there’s lots of promise here.

Ford Figo Comparison with other Hatchback Cars launched in India:







Some Other points relevant to Ford Figo :




• Standard warranty = 2 years / 100,000 kms.


• Interestingly, Ford will give Figo customers the option of a 5 year
extended service plan. It will cover all consumables & labour for 60
months / 100,000 kms. Branded as the “Ford Scheduled Service Plan”.
Note that this plan does not cover wear & tear items (clutch, brake
pads), tyres or mechanical / electrical failures.


• Ford’s absence from the Auto Expo (Mid-January 2010) is inexplicable. I
mean, what better opportunity to showcase your new small car to the
masses in person?


• Service interval = 10,000 kms.


• Fuel tank capacity = 45 liters. Low fuel indicator goes on when distance to empty is less than 80 kms.


• Kerb weights : 1040 (Petrol) and 1090 (Diesel).


• Light controls, chuckable nature and good low end response (either
engine) makes the Figo well suited to the city. Turning radius = 4.9
meters.


• Ford claims that the petrol fuel filter has a life of 60,000 kms (same
for diesel is 30,000 kms). Timing belt change at 1,20,000 kms. Engine
coolant life is 1,00,000 kms. Factory fill transmission oil will last
the lifetime of the vehicle.



• Doors lock automatically once the speedo crosses 7 kph.


• Under an emergency braking condition (at 60 mph / 96 kph and above),
the parking lights will automatically start blinking to warn traffic at
the back.


• Lane change indicators are useful, especially on the expressway /
highway. Simply tap the indicator stalk and the turn indicator blinks 3 -
4 times only. No need to push the indicator back into place after
completing your lane change manoeuvre.


• Ford has
111 dealers spanning India at the moment. This number has increased by
about a third in the recent past. 7 more expected soon.


• Pricing strategy has become even more important after Chevy set the
cat amongst the pigeons with the Beat’s VFM price tag! Note to Ford :
Price it right from day one. Don’t go the Escort / Fiesta way where you
start high, then massively discount, bring in special editions one after
another and dilute the brand.


• Reason for the chiller air-conditioner = A 154 cc compressor (some
hatches use 80 – 90 cc compressors). I did feel that the diesel’s
air-conditioner is punchier than the petrols.


• Low stance may make ingress / egress inconvenient to the elderly (relative to tallboy hatchbacks).


• Like most other European cars, the front seats have a long travel range. Useful.


• 1.4 TDCi = completely take your foot off the accelerator in 3rd gear,
and the car will chug along happily at 22 kph. Slot the car in 4th gear
at 40 kph and it still doesn’t labour. No vibrations at all.


• Even though the interiors are all black, it’s certainly not as gloomy
as the Beat. Reason? The generous glass area. Even at the back, you have
the large windows as well as the quarter glasses bringing light in.


• If it matters, you can wheel spin away to glory in the 1.2. We tried


• Ford equips the Figo with starter crank protection. When the engine is running, the key will not move further.


• Official ARAI fuel efficiency numbers are 15.6 kpl (petrol) and 20.0 kpl (diesel).


• The same team that worked on the Fiesta 1.6S and Ikon Diesel has been in charge of the Figo.


• Control stalks (wiper, turn indicator) don’t have a satisfactory feel. Their operation is more rubbery than positive.


• Ford’s pumped $500 million into the Chennai plant and has expanded
capacity to 200,000 units per year. It’s all about the numbers really.
The upgraded Chennai plant will also serve as an export hub to serve the
needs of Asia-Pacific & Africa.


• The Figo starts with a 75% (approximate) level of localisation.


• If you shut both the center air-con vents, irrespective of whether the
side vents are open or not, they make a whistling sound.


• It’s been a long time coming, and no better opportunity Ford. With
your hatch now running a 1.4 liter diesel, time to upgrade the Fiesta
diesel to a 1.6? Or will it happen only when the all new Fiesta arrives
in India (expected toward the end of 2010).


• The 1.4 TDCi engine weighs only 98 kilos.


• All gauges are backlight in red colour.


• Bluetooth pairing with your cell phone. Can redial, read your phone book and recent calls.


• Where’s the Automatic transmission, Ford? Explore that USP. There is a ready market for automatic hatchbacks, especially those powered by a diesel engine.


• When I saw the dash colour, I went “What was Ford thinking”? You’d
actually have to try to choose a worse colour. The negative impact is 3X
when matched to the green exterior shade. Absolute Gujju (Note, I am a
Gujarati myself). A single positive of the clay red dash is that there
is no dashboard reflection.


• The 1.4 TDCi Figo does everything that you would expect of a B segment
diesel hatch. The steering & mature road behaviour are a bonus.
Importantly, the Figo diesel does not have any single major flaw. The
1.2L is less impressive, for obvious reasons.

Figo means “cool” in Italian.............
