The World #Economic Forum’s report, 2019, Future

The World #Economic Forum’s report, 2019, Future of Consumption in Fast-Growth #Consumer #Market – INDIA, says that by 2030, domestic #private consumption, which accounts for 60 pc of the country’s #GDP, is expected to develop into a USD 6 trillion growth opportunity in India. If realized, this would make India’s consumer #market the third-largest in the world, behind the US and China within the next decade. While #India witnessed an unprecedented increase in online consumption of content and commodities, a section of the population, also turned towards giving up on materialistic possessions and living a simpler, more #minimalistic lifestyle.

"Oh #Umngot! You must not remain only a memory,”

"Oh #Umngot! You must not remain only a memory,” is the slogan that has been echoing through parts of #Meghalaya for about a month now. Tides of protests in people of the #Khasi community have been bubbling for weeks to protect the Umngot that flows through the #hills of the East Khasi region and where a 210 mw #hydroelectric #project has been proposed.

Stark empty streets, shops shuttered down, near em

Stark empty streets, shops shuttered down, near empty public transport, abandoned tourism monuments and deserted spiritual places defined Saturday, the first day of the two-day curfew imposed by the Delhi government in a desperate bid to cut down the spread of the coronavirus pandemic’s second wave that has gripped the metropolis. The only people allowed to go to work included essential service providers working in pharmacies, grocery shops, hospitals, take-away services in restaurants, police stations and banks. Major markets like Connaught Place, Lajpat Nagar, South Extension, Janpath remained closed and devoid of any sign of life. To ensure that the curfew orders were followed, Delhi police set up multiple checkpoints to verify that people out on the roads had a valid reason to do so, fining those who were out without any justification or permission granted to certain categories and who possessed the e-pass issued by the government. By and large, the police say the orders have been followed by the people.

After a pandemic-forced hiatus which put a severe

After a pandemic-forced hiatus which put a severe limitation on high-level bilateral meetings between India and France, the two nations seem to be in a rush to catch up on the lost time and revive the momentum that has been building up in the bilateral ties over the past decade, but especially since Narendra Modi’s first visit as Prime Minister to Paris in April 2015. Now, it seems the two countries are banking on a repeat of the exercise to inject fresh energy into the relations from the top with a summit meeting between Modi and the French President Emmanuel Macron. Highly placed sources say that the two countries are in serious discussions for finalising a packed agenda for a visit by Modi to Paris on May 9, after he concludes the EU-India Summit meet that will take place on May 8 at Porto in Portugal.

When four-year-old Piyush Tanti, slightly injured

When four-year-old Piyush Tanti, slightly injured his forehead while #playing, he began bleeding profusely and he had to be hospitalised where his parents were told that there was an urgent requirement of #AHF VIII to stop his bleeds and if the bleeding was not stopped in time it would lead to death. Tanti’s minor injury turned near fatal as he suffered from #haemophilia factor VIII deficiency. Like Piyush, over1,125,000 men and approximately 2700 women around the world suffer from this life-threatening bleeding #disorder, Haemophilia, a genetic illness that is much more common amongst males, says a report by the American Journal of Managed Care.

Despite a windy evening and light drizzle, the Jam

Despite a windy evening and light drizzle, the Jama Masjid in Delhi witnessed limited number of devotees who gathered to offer prayers during the first jumma of this year's Ramzan. As per the Islamic tradition, Fridays (Jumu'ah in Arabic) are the holiest days of the week. Special congregational prayers are conducted in mosques, and Muslims in large numbers gather here to collectively offer prayers. Devotees say that the Friday prayers are mandatory as they bestow blessings, and during Ramzan, the importance multiplies manifold. While the beautiful mosque appeared spell binding, decorated with lights, the raging pandemic only allowed limited gathering with all covid safety protocols like wearing masks, using sanitisers and appropriate social distancing. #ramadan2021 #ramadan #ramadankareem #ramadanmubarak #ramzanmubarak🌙 #ramzan #jamamasjid #roza #jummahmubarak #jummamubarak #mediaindiagroup #MediaIndiaGroup #MIG

My voice echoed across the deserted corridor. The only noise was of sweeping footsteps of the caretaker of this #Chettinad mansion in Karaikudi. Numerous #colourful pillars flank the enormous #courtyard as the scorching sun bakes the already scalding floor, devoid of cover. It almost felt like going back in time,” says Kalpana Chauhan, a #Delhi-based travel blogger who visited Chettinad, last #December, with the purpose of exploring its mansions. Two hours away from #Madurai, in the interiors of the southern Indian state of #TamilNadu, lies #Karaikudi, a small town part of the Chettinad region. The region comprises of two principal towns of Karaikudi and #Devakottai and 75 villages, home to the ‘Chettiars’, a mercantile community engaged in maritime trade with south and southeast #Asia for centuries.

“The USD 2.1 billion #film industry continues to associate #beauty with fair skin. The conception of beauty has remained consistent through the years in the #Bollywood film industry centred in #Mumbai,” reads a report by Indian-origin researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), in #Pittsburgh, #Pennsylvania, United States. The automated computer analysis led by Kunal Khadilkar and Ashiqur KhudaBukhsh of CMU’s Language Technologies Institute (LTI), gathered about 100 Bollywood movies from each of the past seven decades along with 100 of the top-grossing #Hollywood movies from the same periods. They then used statistical language models to analyse subtitles of those 1,400 films for #gender and social biases, looking for such factors as what words are closely associated with each other.

With #India’s daily case count rising to a new h

With #India’s daily case count rising to a new high every day for about a month, the country has once again displaced #Brazil from the slot of the country with the second-highest incidence of #Covid19 cases. On Tuesday, India registered over 185,000 cases, a jump of 1582 pc from just about 11,000 cases on #March 1 and 200 pc of the previous high of about 97,000 daily cases recorded on September 16, 2020. Having peaked in September, as the number of cases kept falling, complacency and carelessness crept into the government’s response to the pandemic. By the end of last year, #PrimeMinister #NarendraModi and his cabinet were thumping themselves on the back for having won the battle against the #pandemic and actually began taking credit for the ill-conceived, ridiculously planned, and terribly implemented #lockdown that broke the back of the Indian economy, causing a doubling of poverty rates in India, five-decade high unemployment rates and all-round misery.
