COPS in the air
 Usha Albuquerque
Recently,
two aircraft almost had a collision while one was landing and the other
departing from Delhi airport. While we yet do not know the cause of the
near mishap, it did highlight the highly critical role played by the
traffic policeman of the skies - the air traffic controllers. The volume and
complexity of today's air traffic has put pressure on all services -
airline services, runway space, technical services, and many others.
But by far the most critical is that of the air traffic controller.
Monitoring all ground movements of aircraft, take-offs and landings,
handling approach control monitors for approaching and departing
traffic, and en route control requires skillful control by highly
trained staff.

Managing juniors
I.M. Soni
A
good boss knows his long-term objectives, and how to achieve them.
He is a good tactician who knows how to initiate and take advantage
of what follows from his initiatives. If he is a good manager of
people, he gets the best out of them, especially his juniors. But if
he is bossy, he loses respect. Respect is deserved, not demanded.
He knows how to direct them, to win
their loyalty and how to fire their motivation.

Game
to plug the gap
Lack of skilled manpower
in animation, gaming
A
shortage of trained professionals could impede the progress of the
country's animation and gaming industries, which, otherwise possesses a
tremendous potential for growth, a report said. "A growing
demand-supply gap in manpower requirements could act as a dampener to
both these industries, preventing them from achieving their full
potential," a Nasscom report released in Mumbai said recently.
