Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Chairman & Managing Director Mukesh Ambani was awarded the inaugural Dean’s Medal from the University of Pennsyvania’s Eduardo Glandt, Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science today.

The medal was awarded to Mr Ambani at a function here in recognition of his “visionary leadership” in the application of engineering and technology for the betterment of mankind. .

“The medal is an acknowledgement for Ambani’s ingenuity and initiative to usher in Reliance’s vertical integration journey from textiles into fibers, petrochemicals, petroleum refining and eventually oil and gas exploration and production. Today, Reliance is a global leader in polyester, petrochemicals and refining, including the world’s largest petroleum refinery complex at Jamnagar. His vision of energy security for India was realized through an aggressive exploration program which resulted in the world’s largest gas discovery in the year 2002. The field eventually doubled gas production in India,” a press release from the School said.

“Mukesh Ambani embodies what the engineering profession can contribute to a country, as someone who seeks to apply technology for the betterment of society,” Mr Glandt said.

Mr Ambani said in his acceptance speech that he would treasure this medal. “It is much more than the recognition of the modest contribution as a chemical engineer from India. It recognizes the collective achievement of the Reliance family and the creativity of over 25,000 engineers in Reliance. I dedicate this Medal to the indomitable spirit of our founder chairman, Dhirubhai Ambani and each and every member of the Reliance family,” he said.

Mr Ambani joined RIL, founded by his father Dhirubhai Ambani, in 1981 after receiving a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Mumbai and pursuing a master’s degree at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.

Among Mr Ambani’s numerous honors are the 2007 US-India Business Council “Global Vision” Award for Leadership; the 2006 “ET Business Leader of the Year” Award by the Economic Times and the first NDTV-Profit “Global Indian Leader Award” in 2006.

In 2008, Mr. Ambani was elected Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. He is a member of the Prime Minister’s Council on Trade and Industry and of the Board of Governors of the National Council of Applied Economic Research. He is also Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, and a member of the Indo-US CEOs Forum, the International Advisory Board of Citigroup, the International Advisory Board of the National Board of Kuwait, and the Advisory Council for Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, among other appointments.

The University of Pennsylvania is a world leader in higher education, drawing 10,000 undergraduates from around the world and more than 11,000 additional students enrolled in Penn’s 12 graduate and professional schools.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science at Penn is one of the oldest in the United States, established in 1852 as a School of Mines, Arts and Manufactures. It has since grown into a centre of excellence in the creation of technology, leading to the first general-purpose digital computer, ENIAC, making Penn the birthplace of the digital revolution.

Today, an RIL spokesperson released a statement to the press, commenting upon the recent allegations of a Telugu news channel. TV5 based its allegations of RIL’s chief, Mukesh Ambani being involved with the helicopter crash of Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy upon the claims of a Russian website.

“The Exile”, a little known Russian website, claimed that Mukesh Ambani perpetrated the death of the former chief minister as he was obstructing Reliance’s interests in gas from the KG basin.

The Andhra Police has already filed a suo moto case against the news channel TV5 for instigating violence in the state with such reports. RIL too will be filing a criminal complaint against the channel, stating the allegations were “false, malicious, motivated and libelous.”

Security is a growing concern from many people who wish to get fast payday loans. Many aspiring borrowers want to know if it is really safe and secure to apply for a payday loan online.
In terms of financial transactions, it is extremely important to keep client details private and confidential. In the case of payday lending businesses, much attention and effort is directed in ensuring data security primarily because their credibility and viability largely depends on it. If a payday lending company fails to exhibit extreme precautionary measures in data security, the whole industry might be subjected to a variety of civil and criminal charges.
However, despite the fact that most payday lending companies are exerting much effort to ensure data security, aspiring borrowers should also take precautionary measures to check if the level of security for fast payday loans application is really reliable. Below are some things that you can do in order to determine if your personal data is safe in the hands of your prospective lender:
a. Make a thorough check of the Privacy Policy of your prospect payday lender. You can find this Privacy Policy statement in one of the web pages of the lender’s website. Usually, the link to this security statement is located in the center bottom of the web page. It states how the information collected in the website will be used, disclosed, and protected.
b. If the privacy policy is not clear or sufficient enough to provide appropriate security, the potential borrower should ask questions to the customer service representative of the payday lending company. Most fast payday loans company have real time live chat options where the customers can immediately talk to the representatives of the company and ask a question. In cases where such live feature is not available, the borrower can ask questions via e-mail.
c. If online communication is not possible, the borrower may opt to contact the cash advance lenders by telephone. The question that one can ask should be about data encryption and account databases. You can also have inquiries regarding the security clearances of employees who have access to the customer database.
d. If you are done with the questions and the company has provided you with relevant answers, you might as well try their service and avail of the fast payday loans. However, you should be careful during your transaction. Observe how the company employee will handle your transaction. One of the things that you should check is whether the company assigns password-protected customer accounts.
Password protection is important for data security since this only means that your stored data can only be accessed if the password is correct. Also, the borrower should have the privilege of altering the account log-in details whenever he wishes. Regular modification of log-in details will promote safety and security of the stored data.
e. Most companies have specific web icons that identify data security. To check if your fast payday loans transaction is secure, examine if the web page has a yellow padlock icon on the bottom right portion. Also, examine the URL of the page. If the URL starts with “https” instead of “http”, then the page is indeed secure. This means that the data that you will send in the web page will be encrypted before it will be transmitted to the database of the website.

You say you know where your money goes and you don’t need it all written down to keep up with it? I issue you this challenge. Keep track of every penny you spend for one month and I do mean every penny.

You will be shocked at what the itty-bitty expenses add up to. Take the total you spent on just one unnecessary item for the month, multiply it by 12 for months in a year and multiply the result by 5 to represent 5 years.

That is how much you could have saved AND drawn interest on in just five years. That, my friend, is the very reason all of us need a budget.

If we can get control of the small expenses that really don’t matter to the overall scheme of our lives, we can enjoy financial success.

The little things really do count. Cutting what you spend on lunch from five dollars a day to three dollars a day on every work day in a five day work week saves $10 a week… $40 a month… $480 a year… $2400 in five years….plus interest.

See what I mean… it really IS the little things and you still eat lunch everyday AND that was only one place to save money in your daily living without doing without one thing you really need. There are a lot of places to cut expenses if you look for them.

Set some specific long term and short term goals. There are no wrong answers here. If it’s important to you, then it’s important period.

If you want to be able to make a down payment on a house, start a college fund for your kids, buy a sports car, take a vacation to Aruba… anything… then that is your goal and your reason to get a handle on your financial situation now.
