NATCON 2024 SATURDAY 28 SEPTENBER 2024 | Mr Areff Salauroo CEO of La Sentinelle group Mauritius Talking about India and Global TV |
MR. MH RAJA:
I take this opportunity to welcome everyone, and I request Mr. Areff Salauroo to take over the session.
MR. AREFF SALAUROO:
Thank you so much, Mr. Raja, for your introduction. Thank you. It’s an honor for me to be here, and I thank you all for the kind invitation extended to me and the Mauritian association of HR. It has been a really enriching experience participating for a few years now in NATCON.
This year, there has been an innovation for the first time. They have attached a person to assist us. Her name is Ms. Alphonsa, and she has been really very helpful, trying to sort things up for us. And under your applause to say thank you to her,I have brought a small gift for Alphonsa if she’s around . Yeah she’s coming. She has been helping us all the way through, our flight was delayed at the airport, and she waited until midnight.
One of the best ways to say thank you to her is by presenting this small token of appreciation that I brought from Mauritius. And let me also applaud. And Yesterday, during our party, she introduced me to her father, Mr. Paul, whom many of you know. He is the Chairman of Global TV. And he, not by coincidence, really by inspiration shared something with me, which I would like to share with you. Can we have it. You all know this, you all have heard about it, but I, listened to it for the first time this morning.
FROM THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER OF DR. KALAM RELEASED BY GLOBAL TV ON 25 JULY 2007 WHEN DR. KALAM WA PRESIDENT OF INDIA:
Almighty creates thoughts and actions in the minds of the people of our nation,
so they may live united. May they live united. Almighty, this is my prayer.
Almighty, help them choose the right path, bless the people of our nation
with strength of character and righteousness. Almighty, this is my prayer.
May our nation move ahead in love and harmony,
and bless the people with lasting peace.
MR. AREFF SALAUROO:
Thank you very much. You see Mr. Paul let me to discover this song,
I think you should have seen it before me.
Then when I was listening to this, Thank you, Mr. Paul. I see in fact that my session this morning has been titled ‘Lesson’s from Mauritius It’s and I said what lesson from Mauritius, it’s lessons from India. Yes, we have to learn so many things from you. India is leading in so many ways. What has Mauritius to share, if I try to go deep into trying to answer this question I’ll say maybe, Like India we got our independence 20 years after you. You will be celebrating your 100 years in 2047, so which means for us it will be 20 years after that, 2067.
When we had our independence, the British people said that this is a small country, nothing to do, they do not have any resources at all, and this country will definitely collapse very soon. In fact, the political leaders sat down, they got motivated because of the challenge, and they created a single sugarcane agricultural company into today becoming one country with per capita income of about 10,000 US dollars. So can you imagine the journey that has been travelled.
Mauritius is classified in terms of governance as No.1, it is classified in terms of, human development index,the best one in Africa and in the region,it ranks No.1 there also. And there has been a huge diversifiaction of the economy, Agriculture is still there, we still have Sugarcane, we still have tea but to a less extent than it was before. What we have else than that is manufacturing and exports. Manufacturing sector in Mauritius is doing very well, and most probably people would be expecting me to say something, to say where do you place tourism. Third comes financial services and on the fourth place is Tourism. Many people would think that tourism should be ranked first, as the country has a very vibrant tourism industry.
The economy has been growing consistently for many years, and Mauritius is now categorized under the upper medium development index, on the verge of becoming a high-income country.
One key factor that explains this success is political stability. By political stability, I mean that whenever a new government comes into power, they continue the good work done by their predecessors. This is different from some other countries where each new government changes everything.
Mauritius has been able to protect its economy from external shocks, such as the pandemic and wars in nearby regions. This protection has allowed the economy to develop despite financial or health crises. The main sectors I mentioned are doing very well, and new sectors like the blue economy are also emerging strongly.
Mauritius, with its large maritime territory, is becoming a key player in the global maritime industry. However, there have been contentions with some countries over territory, like the case with the Maldives and another with the UK and the US over an island. But Mauritius is asserting its position and has been greatly supported by India in reclaiming what is rightfully theirs.
Thank you very much.
MASTER OF CEREMONY:
Thank you so much, sir, for your insights from Mauritius.
We are adding a Response from Global TV here:
Dear Sir,
KINDLY READ THIS ONCE YOU ARE BACK HOME.
I know how much you value time and your promptness in maintaining time even at adverse situations.
Everything was perfectly timed and predestined!
Even the less time sense of we the Indian People.
I would have gone emotional if i would have heard you instantly
The way you have kept the surprise in suspense is commendable
I had to rush to speak at another function a while before your session started,
Both the functions got delayed more than 30 minutes than the scheduled time.
Your talk was precise and perfect.
I have heard the video many times.
Every bit of your words were systemic
You are a gem of a person with a heart and true human touch.
Your entire talk was reshaped and presented as if you have prepared and rehearsed it thousand times.
You knocked at the heart of Indian Ethos and made us understand the value of the wealth of us which we are consciously denying to honour and respect. My salute to the Mauritius Citizens in the leadership and governance who had taken the challenge paused by Then Europeans positively and had proved them wrong.
The Indian society is yet to grow from political governments to Social Governance. As you had indirectly said, we discard everything when there is a change in political governments. Corruption is the common factor irrespective of the parties in India. People are too good and they believe the casual words of the political leaders and expect the governments to bring success to all of us.
We are yet to learn the art of role creation, team formation and outcome based timely action. We at Global TV, believe in a Non Threatening Media Approach. We have done about 2000 TV Episodes in the past 20 plus years. We promote them through Institutional Auditoriums. One of them I am giving YouTube link here. https://youtu.be/ucxgtH926zw
We keep doing our bit in connecting the Visionaries, Action Leaders and the Youth in Collective and Collaborative action. I am attaching few of our Campaign efforts for your perusal. We are in a Globalised world today. We all are Global Citizens. People are the wealth of India, Mauritius and all other nations. We hope for the world that value Time and Humanity. The world will transform the day, we value to respect human beings irrespective of their positions and portfolios. You had taught us the lesson in person. Your presence was an experience.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO THANK YOU
I AM SURE GOD HAD SENT YOU TO THE LAND OF SPIRITUALITY
I Wish You to hear the Chicago Address of Swami Vivekananda and also to STUDY another Topic named IMAGINE CHICAGO and APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY.
You are already Practicing Both. You have demonstrated the essence of Humanity and addressed the issue at the core in the given short time.
I earnestly Pray the GOOD God to Give YOU HUNDRED MORE HEALTHY AND WEALTHY HAPPY YEARS TO LIVE ON EARTH AND THEREAFTER THE ETERNAL LIFE AS PROMISED TO BE REWARDED. WISH YOUR FAMILY LOTS OF HAPPINESS AND BLISSFUL JOY.
.
Lots of Respect and Love at Heart
Paul
Chairman
