Visualizing your data is quite possibly the main thing you can do to acquire important understanding, fortunately, there are a great deal of approaches to picture your data with free devices! Here’s a rundown of a portion of instruments accessible free of charge for data perceptions!

Google Data Studio

I accept the best free alternative for data visualizations right currently is Google Data Studio, this is Google’s free contribution of data visualizations. For one thing, in contrast to the greater part of different alternatives on this rundown, Google Data Studio doesn’t need any downloads, everything is inside your program.

 Presently, this can be a detriment for a few, for the most part in case you’re taking care of characterized organization data, yet in the event that you’re creating reports for some other case (unclassified data), this is an extremely valuable choice.

There are a ton of inherent capacities, you can create outlines, geo maps, charts, data tables, turn tables thus substantially more. Since this is from Google, you will actually want to get your data from Google Sheets too, this can be an immense benefit for some who house their data inside Google Sheets, yet that is by all accounts not the only spot you can get your data from.

You have your commonplace Excel sheets and CSV’s that you can get, yet you can associate with various databases also, these are the databases Google Data Studio presently upholds: BigQuery, and PostgresQL, this is a monstrous element to have on a free apparatus that is accessible to anybody on the web. Out of these apparatuses that I list in this article, this is by a long shot my number one.

Tableau Public

Next up we have Tableau Public, the free form of the hugely well known Tableau data visualization tool. This tool initially turned out in 2003 and was at last offered to Salesforce in 2019. Presently, Tableau has a huge load of usefulness which makes it quite possibly the main tools any data architect, researcher or expert could learn, pretty much every data work requires insight for this product.

Tableau has a huge load of capacity, ostensibly more than Google Data Studio, however it is a piece of programming you need to download and introduce so remember that. Tableau Public has a similar usefulness as the paid form of Tableau, aside from the capacity to download your real Tableau exercise manuals, so you can utilize this product with the entirety of its highlights however you can’t save it on your PC.

Something else, the usefulness from this product is insane, in the event that you plan on making charts or reports and plan on introducing it, or in the event that you need to screen capture the diagrams, this product is an astounding data visualization tool.

Power BI

Next up we have Power BI, the principle advantage is that this program is free, the burden is that it’s just accessible for Windows, iOS or Android, no MacOS support yet. Power BI is one of the more up to date information representation devices on this rundown, however don’t let that prevent you from utilizing this product, Microsoft (who assembled this product) is spending a huge load of cash on creating this product.

Power BI offers practically a similar sort of design as Excel, yet this is an undeniable information perception apparatus, there are a couple of paid highlights that you can utilize, however the real highlights are totally free. As I referenced previously, Power BI has a huge load of financing at this moment, so there are huge loads of highlights being added constantly.

On top of this, since it is a Microsoft item, you realize it will have a huge local area behind this device too. The most ideal way I can summarize this instrument is it’s a Microsoft form of Tableau, in spite of the fact that I actually like Tableau a bit more, Power BI is a wonderful choice thinking of it as’ free ‘.

“Death Penalty’ in rarest of rare cases, should adorn criminal justice system in India, which would operate as a deterrent mechanism. Abrogation of capital punishment and it’s obliteration from the law, would be a great folly. In the human rights perspective, concretising the human rights of the criminal (perpetrator of a particular offense attracting Capital punishment) by negating Human Rights of the victim is again a murder of justice.”
― Henrietta Newton Martin
In the modern society, the criminal justice system put into place by the Government is quite important in order to control anti-social behaviour. However, it isn’t an easy task to punish criminals. This is because there is a process of finding out who is actually guilty, before the process of punishing the person. History has been lined with such cases of innocents being punished due to no reason of their own, while the guilty gets away.
A majority of crime is more often than not, not reported to the police. This may be due to fear of getting punished by the perpetrators before the police can intervene. They may also think that the crime committed against them was too minor for it to be reported or be taken by anyone seriously. The prior is often common among victims of abuse. Most teenagers don’t report being bullied to their teachers or parents due to embarrassment or lack of courage to face up against them. This is quite a similar case to when most crime is not reported.

“There are some human rights that are so deep that we can’t negotiate them away. I mean people do heinous, terrible things. But there are basic human rights I believe that every human being has. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the United Nations says it for me. And it says there are two basic rights that can’t be negotiated that government doesn’t give for good behaviour and doesn’t take away for bad behaviour. And it’s the right not to be tortured and not to be killed. Because the flip side of this is that then when you say OK we’re going to turn over — they truly have done heinous things, so now we will turn over to the government now the right to take their life. It involves other people in doing essentially the same kind of act.
(PBS Frontline: Angel on Death Row)”
― Sister Helen Prejean
The criminal justice system consists of several police departments, courts and corrections. Each and every part of it plays an important role in punishing the guilty. Often we find multiple agencies collaborating with each other in order to find the culprit of a crime. Law is said to be a set of regulations, rules and principals by which a society is run while crime is said to be committing an act forbidden by the law, to which a punishment has been attached. The science of psychology believes that people commit crimes due to abnormal mental conditions. Crime may be influenced by a myriad of factors which includes cultural issues such as education, politics and law-enforcement, as well as economic conditions. There has been several theories in regard to the reason as to why an individual may commit a crime. Some of them are psychological, sociological, economic, cultural and anthropological. Crime statistics are used to measure the rate of crime in a society. Thorough research over the years has indicated how these values may be quite conflicting, due to the very nature of various types of crime and their tendency to be unreported.

Emotional intelligence is the capability and the ability to understand and manage your own emotions in a positive manner. Emotional intelligence is how we understand our emotions. It is a positive way to release stress and communicate effectively. It helps to make relations stronger. It is as important as intellectual ability. It helps to connect with feelings and turns intentions into actions. It is a helping hand in achieving personal goals.

Emotional intelligence is one of the essential components of leadership and an inbuilt ability of an individual to perceive the emotions and feelings of other people. It is also known as emotional quotient or EQ. It is defined as the capability of individuals to identify their own emotions. To discern between different feelings and to use the appropriate emotional guide to label each feeling and emotion in the correct way forms a part of emotional intelligence.

Empathy is an emotion that is somewhat related to emotional intelligence because it relates to an individual who connects their personal experiences with those of others. Emotional intelligence is commonly divided into four attributes which include self attributes in which a person can control his impulsive feelings and behaviour and manage his or her emotions in healthy ways. The second attribute is self-awareness, where the person gets to recognize his emotions and the thoughts that affect his behavior.

The third attribute of emotional intelligence is social awareness. The person has empathy and can understand emotions, needs and concerns of other people. The person who has empathy can pick up on emotional and is able to recognize the power of dynamics in a group. The last attribute is the aspect of relationship management. If you are able to handle with your emotional intelligence, our relationship with others would be in a good way. This attribute helps to develop and maintain good relationships and to communicate early and manage a conflict.

High emotional intelligence helps to navigate the social complexities of the workplace or place of education and helps to motivate others and excel in a career too. Emotional intelligence helps to managing our emotions in a correct way. If the emotions are not handled properly, then the stress will not be handled ideally. Being in proper tune with emotions, a social purpose can be served. It helps to connecting with the people all around the world quickly and easily

The skills that make up emotional intelligence can be learned at any time. There lies a difference between learning emotional intelligence and applying it in your daily life activities. In order to permanently change behaviour to stand up to pressure, one needs to learn how to overcome stress to be emotionally aware.

Self-awareness is an essential feature of emotional intelligence. It helps an individual to know their own strengths and use them wisely. In today’s scenario, emotional intelligence is one of the most significant aspects to reach the goal and succeed in life. Emotional intelligence leads to general happiness. Emotional intelligence is an important aspects in today’s life for each and every individual.

High emotional intelligence helps to deal with low self-esteem and helps a person to upgrade his life and have a better living scenario

“Everyone is so locked into the current way of doing things, they never see the larger picture or other, more responsible and efficient possibilities. A REAL economy is always wanting to limit consumption/manufacturing as much as possible by assuring the strategically “best” and “adaptable” productions at all times, while keeping balance with human needs and public health.

It is a total shift in intent than what we have today.”
― Peter Joseph
The Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs are as follows:
• Physiological needs – The first level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is know as Physiological needs. The things which are necessary for human survival consist of things such as food, water, sufficient rest, clothing, shelter, overall health and reproduction. This is really necessary to move on to the next level of the hierarchy.

• Safety needs – The next lower level after physiological level is known as safety needs. This group includes protection from violence and theft, emotional stability and well-being, health security as well as financial security.

• Love and belonging needs – The next lower level after the safety needs level is known as love and belonging needs. This level includes friendships and family bonds – both with a person’s own family and extended family such as spouses and partners.

• Esteem needs – The next lower level after the love and belonging needs level is the esteem needs level. The primary elements of this level are self respect and self esteem. The author of these levels tells us that self-esteem can be divided into two types – on the basis of respect and acknowledgement for others and esteem based on our own self assessment. Self confidence and independence issue from this self assessment, which is also a type of self-esteem.

• Self – actualization needs – The next lower level after the esteem needs level is known as self – actualization needs. It describes the fulfilment of a person’s full potential.
“If the steam engine freed human beings from feudal bondage to pursue material self-interest in the capitalist marketplace, the Internet of Things frees human beings from the market economy to pursue nonmaterial shared interests on the Collaborative Commons. Many—but not all—of our basic material needs will be met for nearly free in a near zero marginal cost society. Intelligent technology will do most of the heavy lifting in an economy centered on abundance rather than scarcity. A half century from now, our grandchildren are likely to look back at the era of mass employment in the market with the same sense of utter disbelief as we look upon slavery and serfdom in former times. The very idea that a human being’s worth was measured almost exclusively by his or her productive output of goods and services and material wealth will seem primitive, even barbaric, and be regarded as a terrible loss of human value to our progeny living in a highly automated world where much of life is lived on the Collaborative Commons.”
― Jeremy Rifkin, The Zero Marginal Cost Society: The Internet of Things, the Collaborative Commons, and the Eclipse of Capitalism
India is already in a very critical situation in providing employment to every citizen of the country who actually needs the employment. It is not only because of the Government, but also because of the lack of seats in jobs. This is because of the growing population of our country. Population also leads to a shortage of food in the country which contributes to a higher price of food. Maintaining such a huge population for the Government is quite a herculean task. This is because it isn’t possible for the Government to reach out to each and every citizen of the country.

Cryptocurrencies are frameworks that consider secure installments online which are named regarding virtual “tokens,” which are addressed by record passages inward to the framework. “Crypto” alludes to the different encryption calculations and cryptographic strategies that defend these passages, like circular bend encryption, public-private key combines, and hashing capacities.

The first blockchain-based digital money was Bitcoin, which actually stays the most famous and generally important. Today, there are a great many substitute cryptocurrencies with different capacities and particulars. A portion of these are clones or forks of Bitcoin, while others are new monetary standards that were worked without any preparation.

Bitcoin was dispatched in 2009 by an individual or gathering known by the alias “Nakamoto.”1 As of March 2021, there were over 18.6 million bitcoins available for use with an all out market cap of around $900 billion.

Cryptocurrencies hold the guarantee of making it simpler to move reserves straightforwardly between two gatherings, without the requirement for a believed outsider like a bank or Mastercard organization. These exchanges are rather gotten by the utilization of public keys and private keys and various types of impetus frameworks, similar to Proof of Work or Proof of Stake.

In current digital money frameworks, a client’s “wallet,” or record address, has a public key, while the private key is known uniquely to the proprietor and is utilized to sign exchanges. Asset moves are finished with insignificant preparing expenses, permitting clients to stay away from the lofty charges charged by banks and monetary organizations for wire moves.

The semi-mysterious nature of digital currency exchanges makes them appropriate for a large group of criminal operations, for example, illegal tax avoidance and tax avoidance. Be that as it may, cryptographic money advocates frequently profoundly esteem their obscurity, referring to advantages of security like insurance for informants or activists living under harsh governments. Some cryptocurrencies are more private than others

Bitcoin, for example, is a moderately helpless decision for leading illicit business on the web, since the scientific investigation of the Bitcoin blockchain has assisted specialists with capturing and arraign hoodlums. More protection situated coins do exist, in any case, like Dash, ZCash, which are undeniably more hard to follow

Vital to the allure and usefulness of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is blockchain innovation, which is utilized to keep an online record of the multitude of exchanges that have at any point been directed, subsequently giving an information design to this record that is very secure and is shared and settled upon by the whole organization of an individual hub, or PC keeping a duplicate of the record. Each new square created should be checked by every hub prior to being affirmed, making it practically difficult to manufacture exchange accounts.

Numerous specialists see blockchain innovation as having genuine potential for utilizes like web based democratic and crowdfunding, and major monetary foundations like JPMorgan Chase (JPM) see the possibility to bring down exchange costs by smoothing out installment processing.4 However, on the grounds that cryptocurrencies are virtual and are not put away on a focal information base, a computerized digital currency equilibrium can be cleared out by the misfortune or obliteration of a hard drive if a reinforcement duplicate of the private key doesn’t exist. Simultaneously, there is no focal position, government, or enterprise that approaches your assets or your own data.

Robots are taking over the world. OK, not really. Not yet. But they are becoming increasingly prevalent in almost every industry, from healthcare and manufacturing to defense and education.

Robotics is the intersection of science, engineering and technology that produces machines, called robots, that substitute for (or replicate) human actions. Pop culture has always been fascinated with robots. R2-D2. Optimus Prime. WALL-E. These over-exaggerated, humanoid concepts of robots usually seem like a caricature of the real thing…or are they more forward thinking than we realize? Robots are gaining intellectual and mechanical capabilities that don’t put the possibility of a R2-D2-like machine out of reach in the future.

As technology progresses, so too does the scope of what is considered robotics. These robots consist mainly of mechanical arms tasked with welding or screwing on certain parts of a car.

While the overall world of robotics is expanding, a robot has some consistent characteristics:

1. Robots all consist of some sort of mechanical construction. The mechanical aspect of a robot helps it complete tasks in the environment for which it’s designed.
2. Robots need electrical components that control and power the machinery. Essentially, an electric current (a battery, for example) is needed to power a large majority of robots.
3. Robots contain at least some level of computer programming. Without a set of code telling it what to do, a robot would just be another piece of simple machinery. Inserting a program into a robot gives it the ability to know when and how to carry out a task.
4. They’ll also continue to be a main focal point in smart factories, where they’ll take on more difficult challenges and help to secure global supply chains.

Though relatively young, the robotics industry is filled with an admirable promise of progress that science fiction could once only dream about. From the deepest depths of our oceans to thousands of miles in outer space, robots will be found performing tasks that humans couldn’t dream of achieving alone.

The simplest definition of a robot is any matter that has at least one degree of freedom and the robots which take the shape of a human are called humanoid. Robotics is the study of robots, making robots playing with them. Robots make our tasks easy, they can do repetitive tasks without getting bored.

 They don’t need rest, they never get sick. At the best part they never complain moving on to the

fundamental blocks of a robot mechanical system, power supply systems, sensors, signal processing system and the control system.

Mechanical system comprises the chassis wheels and their placement. This system decides the locomotion of the robot. By this we can move our robot in any direction. The devices which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy and such devices are called actuators.

The most popular actuator is the DC motor. For a robot to work properly we need power supply which acts as fuel to the robot. Unless we feed the robot, it can’t work .We supply DC power which is given by a battery.

For the robot to be independent, we need a totally independent or autonomous system. Most of you will agree that it needs intelligence. This intelligence is imparted by us humans.

The robot will work with that yet it will be completely confined from the rest of the world.. For it to be interactive, implant sensors. A sensor is a device which is capable of sensing physical parameters like temperature, pressure, heat, magnetic fields, radio waves, IR waves etc. 

Ascend to process the data from the sensors and allow electrical and digital signals to be processed so that the robot analyzes the situation and makes its move. For this, we introduce

electronic components to process the signal.

Every system that is present inside a robot and function can be represented in the form of a control system. Based on control robots are classified as manual semi autonomous and autonomous. Manuals are wired and wireless.

Autonomous are pre-programmed and self learning pre-programmed the example can be given as a line follower which one’s given a task to move on a black line. It keeps following a black line: self-learning is the obstacle detection robot.

Which move on their path when they detect an obstacle they move backwards and turn the position again. 

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage of robots is they are faster than humans. They are automatic and we can use them where we can go like you know we can explore space we can explore minds.

We can explore volcanoes and see it’s so dangerous, but we can do that with the help of robots. The disadvantages of robots are that people can lose jobs in factories. We need more supply and need maintenance of the robots which becomes very costly.

Entrepreneurs hoping to introduce robots in their production lines/tasks face huge forthright expenses. All things considered, robots aren’t modest particularly when they’re innovative, first in class and required for a particular undertaking.

They can squeeze an association. Because of the power and labor needed to maintain robots in working control, the running costs included are high too. You need to trust that the expanded yield legitimizes the underlying speculation.

“Bleak, dark, and piercing cold, it was a night for the well-housed and fed to draw round the bright fire, and thank God they were at home; and for the homeless starving wretch to lay him down and die. Many hunger-worn outcasts close their eyes in our bare streets at such times, who, let their crimes have been what they may, can hardly open them in a more bitter world.”
― Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
Homelessness is the state of living without any permanent home or residence. It is a very difficult ordeal to go through. The homeless person is usually devoid of any place to sit down, fall asleep or store their belongings. Such occurrences are pretty scary when it occurs to us once in a while, but it takes quite a heavy toll on these homeless people who have to endure it day after day. The prime cause of such vast majority of people being homeless are the sky – rocketing prices of houses these days. Other factors such as single parenting, high poverty rates, decreased mental health and trauma and also the lack of education and training influence homelessness. Several facilities now exist in today’s day and age in order to fight homelessness. However, these facilities lack the resources necessary to aid the homeless people. It is one such issue that can plague people of all age groups. Not only are the people who live on the streets homeless, some who even rent temporary accommodation throughout the year are also homeless. The story of a person becoming homeless varies widely from person to person. Research hasn’t yet been able to pinpoint it to a single solid reason. However, statistics from various homelessness centres show that most of the teenagers who seek such help are known to be victims of abuse, eviction or family breakdown. Some of the young also become homeless due to the loss of a loved one such as their guardian. This deals a heavy blow on them and their suffering becomes twice fold. Before they can obtain help, most of such people have to sleep rough on the streets or wherever they can find a place to spend the night. A majority of these people are uneducated and thus cannot get a job. Almost all of them cannot financially support themselves, let alone others who are homeless along with them. They do not even have enough money or receive enough financial support so that they can join an educational institution in order to pursue a degree.

“The homeless people’s suffering belongs to amusement of our political order under a game over the right of marginalised group being transformed into citizens for merely punishment and humiliation. The Public Space Protection Orders is a penalty over one’s condition suffering – it is a fine over the disempowered for being disempowered. This act allows power to fragment the homeless into sub-humans punishable for the state of utter misery.”
― Bruno De Oliveira
Most homeless people fall victim to drugs at an early state. This almost guarantees that they will never be able to get off the street. In case of such addicts, even the money that they earn from begging is spent on drugs instead of the food that they desperately need. Homelessness is also a trait very common in places struck by natural disasters. Thousands of people who were financially well – off before, now lose the shed above their heads and have no other choice than to live on the streets. The high prices of commodities in such areas also contribute to the fact that it is almost impossible for them to recover in the absence of external help.

Digital payments are the payments which are made digitally. The payments which are done in digital form are known as digital payments. Now-a-days digital payments are made useful by almost everyone. The payments made digitally saves time of the people. The digital payments are made simple for the people. The usage is also very simple and easy. Government of India has started adopting digital payments in implementation of Bhim UPI and many more projects, digital payments are considered to be modern age technology saviors.

The Government of India has been taking several measures to promote and encourage digital payments in the country. To put it in, simple words, a digital payment occurs when goods or services are purchased through the use of various electronic measures. Digital payment is the payment which is made digitally which the help of technology. There is no use of cash or cheques in this type of payment method, a cashless economy wherein all transactions are carried out using different types of payment method and does not involve the physical use of money for the purchase of various goods and services. As part of ‘Digital India’ campaign, the government aims to create a ‘digitally empowered’ economy that is paperless, cashless.

Please note that digital payments can take place on the internet as well as on physical premises. For example, if you buy something from Amazon and pay for it via UPI, it qualifies as a digital payment. Similarly, if you purchase something from your local Kirana store and choose to pay via UPI instead of handing over cash, that also is a digital payment.

What are the different methods of digital payments?

After the launch of Cashless India, we currently have ten methods of digital payment available in India. Some methods have been in use for more than a decade, some have become recently popular, and others are relatively new. 

1. Banking Cards

Indians widely use Banking cards, or debit/credit cards, or prepaid cards, as an alternative to cash payments. Andhra Bank launched the first credit card in India in 1981.

Cards are preferred because of multiple reasons, including, but not limited to, convenience, portability, safety, and security. This is the only mode of digital payment that is popular in online transactions and physical transactions alike. Nowadays, many apps are being launched with the sole purpose of managing card transactions like Cred, Square, etc.

2. Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD)

USSD was launched for those sections of India’s population which don’t have access to proper banking and internet facilities. Under USSD, mobile banking transactions are possible without an internet connection by simply dialing *99# on any essential feature phone.

This number is operational across all Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) and allows customers to avail of services including interbank account to account fund transfer, balance inquiry, and availing mini statements. Around 51 leading banks offer USSD service in 12 different languages, including Hindi & English.

3: Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS)

AEPS is a bank-led model for digital payments that was initiated to leverage the presence and reach of Aadhar. Under this system, customers can use their Aadhar-linked accounts to transfer money between two Aadhar linked Bank Accounts. As of February 2020, AEPS had crossed more than 205 million as per NPCI data.

People have been entranced with speed for a very long time. The historical backdrop of human advancement is one of steadily expanding speed, and perhaps the main accomplishments. In this recorded race was the breaking of the sound barrier. Not long after the main fruitful airplane flights, pilots were anxious to push their planes to accelerate.

Yet, as they did as such, expanded choppiness and enormous powers on the plane kept them from speeding up further. Some attempted to evade the issue through unsafe plunges, regularly with grievous outcomes.

At long last, in 1947, plan enhancements, like a portable even stabilizer, the all-moving tail, permitted an American military pilot named Chuck Yeager to fly the Bell X-1 airplane at 1127 km/h, turning into the principal individual to break the sound barrier and travel quicker than the speed of sound.

The Bell X-1 was the first of numerous supersonic airplanes to follow, with later plans arriving at speeds over Mach 3. Airplanes going at supersonic speed make a stun wave with a thunder-like commotion known as a sonic blast, which can make trouble individuals and creatures underneath or even harm structures.

Thus, researchers all throughout the planet have been taking a gander at sonic blasts, attempting to anticipate their way in the air, where they will land, and how noisy they will be.

Basics of sound

Envision tossing a little stone in a still lake. The stone makes waves travel in the water at a similar speed toward each path. These circles that continue to fill in range are called wave fronts. Essentially, despite the fact that we can’t see it, a fixed sound source, similar to a home sound system, makes sound waves voyaging outward.

The speed of the waves relies upon factors like the elevation and temperature of the air they travel through. Adrift level, sound goes at around 1225 km/h. Yet, rather than circles on a two-dimensional surface, the wave fronts are currently concentric circles, with the sound making a trip along beams opposite to these waves.

Presently envision a moving sound source, for example, a train whistle. As the source continues to move a specific way, the progressive waves before it will get bundled nearer together. This more prominent wave recurrence is the reason for the popular Doppler impact, where moving toward objects sounds more shrill.

In any case, as long as the source is moving more slowly than the sound waves themselves, they will remain settled inside one another. It’s the point at which an article goes supersonic, moving quicker than the sound it makes, that the image changes significantly.

As it overwhelms sound waves it has produced, while creating new ones from its present position. 

The waves are constrained together, framing a Mach cone. No sound is heard as it moves toward a spectator in light of the fact that the article is voyaging quicker than the sound it produces.

Solely after the article has passed will the onlooker hear the sonic boom. Where the Mach cone meets the ground, it frames a hyperbola, leaving a path referred to as the blast cover as it goes ahead. This makes it conceivable to decide the region influenced by a sonic boom.

How strong a sonic boom will be?

This involves solving the popular Navier-Stokes equations to find the variation of pressing factor noticeable all around because of the supersonic airplane flying through it. This outcomes in the pressing factor signature known as the N-wave.

This causes a twofold boom, yet it is generally heard as a solitary boom by human ears. By and by, PC models utilizing these standards can frequently anticipate the area and power of sonic booms for given air conditions and flight directions, and there is continuous exploration to alleviate their belongings. Meanwhile, supersonic trip over land stays precluded.

 So, are sonic booms a recent creation?

Not by and large. While we attempt to discover approaches to quietness them, a couple of different creatures have been utilizing sonic booms for their potential benefit. The enormous Diplodocus may have been equipped for breaking its tail quicker than sound, at more than 1200 km/h, perhaps to hinder hunters. 

A few kinds of shrimp can likewise make a comparative stun wave submerged, dazzling or in any event, executing prey a ways off with simply a snap of their curiously large hook. So while we people have gained incredible headway in our steady quest for speed, it turns out that nature was there first.

“We have a chance to do something extraordinary. As we head out of this pandemic we can change the world. Create a world of love. A world where we are kind to each other. A world were we are kind no matter what class, race, sexual orientation, what religion or lack of or what job we have. A world we don’t judge those at the food bank because that may be us if things were just slightly different. Let love and kindness be our roadmap.”
― Johnny Corn
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major influencer of our lives. The effect of the pandemic highlighted our various social and economic backgrounds, our status as people and citizens of India. While many people lost their jobs due to the pandemic, some were forced to work in the front lines forced to face the brunt of the disease while being exposed to it, while others slowly started adapting to web-based work. Thousands of jobs have been lost due to this pandemic. The number of infected as well as casualties to this disease has been massive. Recent statistics have shown that minorities were far more susceptible to be effected by this disease due to much lesser privileges available to them. Most people suffering from this disease are far more unlikely to get treatment in the absence of a pre – existing insurance plan. The cost for treatment of COVID-19 is so high that most of the middle class cannot afford it. Government hospitals do not possess enough beds for the treatment of patients. Moreover, their equipment is mostly poor or outdated.
“A reflective human mind would look at the COVID-19 pandemic and will be reminded that this life will end one day for him from one or the other material cause. But, it does not matter whether it will be due to any disease or accident. However, his life and life of others is not meaningless.”
― Salman Ahmed Shaikh, Reflections on the Origins in the Post COVID-19 World
Many people live far away from grocery and medical stores leading them to be far more susceptible to fail recovering from the disease. Proper care in case of COVID-19 patients is a necessity. The most used strategies of prevention of COVID-19 are social distancing and wearing of masks. People should always wear masks while going out and not to go out into crowded places unless absolutely necessary. The front-line workers should always use proper protection in order to protect themselves from COVID-19. Repeated sanitization should always be performed as it is a really good method to prevent COVID-19. The Government should be providing aid to those people who are unable to pay for the treatment of COVID-19. The number of victims of COVID-19 has far lessened over time. The CBSE board has taken a decision to cancel the class 10 board exams and postpone the class 12 board exams amidst the current situation due to the new strain of coronavirus. But it has been noticed around the country that class 10 students are celebrating on the occasion of cancellation of their board exams. This is not a good decision because the CBSE board has taken this decision just to prevent the gathering of students in this pandemic situation. This has been a brilliant decision on the part of the CBSE board. However, the students are misusing this opportunity by gathering in masses and partying in order to celebrate the cancellation of their board exams. They should dedicate this time to studying as they would have if they had their normally scheduled exams. Not studying will ultimately defeat the purpose of the CBSE board’s decision.

Artificial Intelligence is commonly known as AI. If a machine, thinks like a human beings and works accordingly, then it is known as Artificial Intelligence. Some tasks that human intelligence is capable like learning, analyzing, problem-solving, etc. when done by machines is a noteworthy example of AI. All in all, the simulation of some human intelligence skills by machines is called Artificial Intelligence.

With the continuous development in science and technology, it is hard to estimate how far and what else we will be able to establish. According to experts, the future of the world seems to be dominated by Artificial Intelligence. And the time is assumed to be not far when almost every aspect of our life involves AI assistance in some way or the other.

The ability of a computer system or a machine to operate and process information like a human being is called Artificial Intelligence or simply AI. It can learn, analyse, copy, and adapt to new information and perform without much external optimization. With the help of a machine doing things like human, the chances of getting error is fairly reduced.

Experts believe that AI in future will be able to make human life much easier by providing a solution to almost all challenges. Humans will also be made aware of potential threats from beforehand by Artificial Intelligence use. One of the fastest-growing fields of technology and invention is that of AI.

AI has established its position in several marketing activities. And the automation of marketing processes has increased the demand for AI implementation in the industry recently as well. AI has also brought opportunities to marketers to expand their business and provided user interface insight.

Artificial Intelligence helps many organisation or the business to improve their business more vital. Many business are operating only with the help of Artificial Intelligence. The machine doing the similar things which are done by a human beings in all the ways.

Artificial Intelligence can be categorized into four categories, and this categorization was brought up by Arend Hintze.

1. The first types of AI are those machines which can react to certain situations, but these machines don’t have any sort of memory and hence cannot learn or use past experience. Computer chess games are a simple example of this first type of AI.
2. The second types of AI are those machines which are capable of using past memory to form future ones. An excellent example of this second type of AI is self-driving cars.
3. The third type of AI at present only exists in theory, and as per the imagination, it will be able to have humane emotions like beliefs, desires, opinions, intentions, etc.

The most sophisticated form of AI if ever comes to exist would be this fourth type of AI. This fourth type of AI machine will be able to have a sense of self-awareness, emotions

“The food problem is a flavor problem. For half a century, we’ve been making the stuff people should eat–fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unprocessed meats–incrementally less delicious. Meanwhile, we’ve been making the food people shouldn’t eat–chips, fast food, soft drinks, crackers–taste ever more exciting. The result is exactly what you’d expect.”
– Mark Schatzker, The Dorito Effect: The Surprising New Truth About Food and Flavor
Junk food is extremely hurtful and is gradually destroying the immune systems of the current generation. Even the actual term “junk food” signifies how risky it actually is for our bodies. Nevertheless, most people consume it on a daily basis since it tastes so good. This is due to the fact that very little mindfulness is spread about the hurtful impacts of low quality nourishment. The consumption of junk food is thought to be the most straightforward method of gaining undesirable weight. The amount of fats and sugar in junk food makes the body put on unhealthy weight rapidly. This weight is actually not good weight, it is unhealthy weight due to the consumption of high percentages of fats and cholesterol which may have negative effects on the human body in the long run. In today’s day and age, junk food is thought to be the main reason for obesity.

“Animals’ taste systems are specialized for the niche they occupy in the environment. That includes us. As hunters and foragers of the dry savannah, our earliest forebears evolved a taste for important but scarce nutrients: salt and high-energy fats and sugars. That, in a nutshell, explains the widespread popularity of junk food.”
– Mary Roach
Although junk food looks and tastes great, these are due to certain reasons. Junk foods satisfy caloric needs of the body through high amounts of sugar and fat. Often, very harmful chemicals are used in junk food in order to make them look good. These chemicals when consumed in large quantities may have long term side effects. Regular consumption of junk food can cause various illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension. This may slowly lead upto kidney failure. Junk food also leads to fast spiking in energy levels. This leads to a feeling of pleasure but does not satisfy our daily vitamin and mineral requirements. It also contributes to frequent mood swings. Junk food increases body blood sugar and pressure levels. The risk of heart disease increases in such individuals. Junk food also causes damage to the liver. It also causes diabetes in children. Over a long period of time, lack of fibers in junk food causes damage to digestive system. This is a cause of constipation. Junk food should be replaced with healthy food. We should always consume a balanced diet. Junk food companies fool people by advertising with bright colours and over exaggerated pictures. Junk food is quick to get i.e easily accessible. Thus it easily appeals to their customers. In modern busy lives, people are too busy to prepare food for themselves. Thus they prefer to depend upon fast food joints to provide them with a quick and easy fix. Hygiene is often lacking in junk foods because fast food joints do not pay attention to cleanliness. Junk food also makes us crave more food due to the unbalanced nutrition that it provides.

1. Ensuring Universal Access at all levels of school education: NEP 2020 emphasizes on ensuring universal access to school education at all levels- preschool to secondary. 

Infrastructure support, innovative education centers to bring back dropouts into the mainstream, tracking of students and their learning levels, facilitating multiple pathways to learning involving both formal and non-formal education modes, an association of counselors or well-trained social workers with schools, open learning for classes 3,5 and 8 through NIOS and State Open Schools, secondary education programs equivalent to Grades 10 and 12, vocational courses, adult literacy, and life-enrichment programs are some of the proposed ways for achieving this. 

About 2 crore out of school children will be brought back into main stream under NEP 2020.

2. Early Childhood Care,  Education with new Curricular and Pedagogical Structure: With emphasis on Early Childhood Care and Education, the 10+2 structure of school curricula is to be replaced by a 5+3+3+4 curricular structure corresponding to ages 3-8, 8-11, 11-14, and 14-18 years respectively.

This will bring the hitherto uncovered age group of 3-6 years under school curriculum, which has been recognized globally as the crucial stage for development of mental faculties of a child. The new system will have 12 years of schooling with three years of Anganwadi/ pre schooling.

NCERT will develop a National Curricular and Pedagogical Framework for Early Childhood Care and Education (NCPFECCE) for children up to the age of 8. 

ECCE will be delivered through a significantly expanded and strengthened system of institutions including Anganwadis and pre-schools that will have teachers and Anganwadi workers trained in the ECCE pedagogy and curriculum. The planning and implementation of ECCE will be carried out jointly by the Ministries of HRD, Women and Child Development (WCD), Health and Family Welfare (HFW), and Tribal Affairs.

3. Attaining Foundational Literacy and Numeracy: Recognizing Foundational Literacy and Numeracy as an urgent and necessary prerequisite to learning, NEP 2020 calls for setting up of a  National Mission on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy by MHRD.

States will prepare an implementation plan for attaining universal foundational literacy and numeracy in all primary schools for all learners by grade 3 by 2025.A National Book Promotion Policy is to be formulated.

4. Reforms in school curricula and pedagogy: The school curricula and pedagogy will aim for holistic development of learners by equipping them with the key 21st century skills, reduction in curricular content to enhance essential learning and critical thinking and greater focus on experiential learning. Students will have increased flexibility and choice of subjects. 

There will be no rigid separations between arts and sciences, between curricular and extra-curricular activities, between vocational and academic streams.

Vocational education will start in schools from the 6th grade, and will include internships.

A new and comprehensive National Curricular Framework for School Education, NCFSE 2020-21, will be developed by the NCERT.

5. Multilingualism and the power of language: The policy has emphasized mother tongue/local language/regional language as the medium of instruction at least till Grade 5, but preferably till Grade 8 and beyond. 

Sanskrit to be offered at all levels of school and higher education as an option for students, including in the three-language formula. Other classical languages and literatures of India also to be available as options. 

No language will be imposed on any student. Students to participate in a fun project/activity on ‘The Languages of India’, sometime in Grades 6-8, such as, under the ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat’ initiative. Several foreign languages will also be offered at the secondary level.

Indian Sign Language (ISL) will be standardized across the country, and National and State curriculum materials developed, for use by students with hearing impairment.

6. Assessment Reforms: NEP 2020 envisages a shift from summative assessment to regular and formative assessment, which is more competency-based, promotes learning and development, and tests higher-order skills, such as analysis, critical thinking, and conceptual clarity. 

All students will take school examinations in grades 3, 5, and 8 which will be conducted by the appropriate authority. Board exams for Grades 10 and 12 will be continued, but redesigned with holistic development as the aim.  A new National Assessment Centre, PARAKH (Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development),  will be set up as a standard-setting body.

7. Equitable and Inclusive Education: NEP 2020 aims to ensure that no child loses any opportunity to learn and excel because of the circumstances of birth or background. 

Special emphasis will be given on Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Groups(SEDGs) which include gender, socio-cultural, and geographical identities and disabilities. This includes setting up of   Gender Inclusion Fund and also Special Education Zones for disadvantaged regions and groups. 

Children with disabilities will be enabled to fully participate in the regular schooling process from the foundational stage to higher education, with support of educators with cross disability training, resource centers, accommodations, assistive devices, appropriate technology-based tools and other support mechanisms tailored to suit their needs. 

Every state/district will be encouraged to establish “Bal Bhavans” as a special daytime boarding school, to participate in art-related, career-related, and play-related activities. Free school infrastructure can be used as Samajik Chetna Kendras

8. Robust Teacher Recruitment and Career Path: Teachers will be recruited through robust, transparent processes. Promotions will be merit-based, with a mechanism for multi-source periodic performance appraisals and available progression paths to become educational administrators or teacher educators. 

A common National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST) will be developed by the National Council for Teacher Education by 2022, in consultation with NCERT, SCERTs, teachers and expert organizations from across levels and regions.

9. School Governance: Schools can be organized into complexes or clusters which will be the basic unit of governance and ensure availability of all resources including infrastructure, academic libraries and a strong professional teacher community.

10. Standard-setting and Accreditation for School Education: NEP 2020 envisages clear, separate systems for policy making, regulation, operations and academic matters. States/UTs will set up independent State School Standards Authority (SSSA). 
Transparent public self-disclosure of all the basic regulatory information, as laid down by the SSSA, will be used extensively for public oversight and accountability. 

The SCERT will develop a School Quality Assessment and Accreditation Framework (SQAAF) through consultations with all stakeholders.

“They began work at 5:30 and quit at 7 at night. Children six years old going home to lie on a straw pallet until time to resume work the next morning! I have seen the hair torn out of their heads by the machinery, their scalps torn off, and yet not a single tear was shed, while the poodle dogs were loved and caressed and carried to the seashore.”
― Mother Jones
The normal age for a youngster to be capable to work is estimated to be 15 years. These kinds of work takes away a child’s opportunity of having proper education as well as physical and mental growth. Although illegal in many countries, it is far from being eradicated. Child labour occurs for a myriad of reasons. Since most businesses want to save on money, they employ children for low amounts of payment for the same amount of work allotted for a grown up. Since most youngsters are far fitter and physically agile than most of the elderly, businesses often employ them in order to save on money. These conditions can be improved by educating parents about the benefit of going to school and educating oneself. In addition to this, making the children themselves aware of the negative effects of child labour is crucial. The number of members in a family should be controlled, so that there are less mouths to feed, and the work done by parents is sufficient. Job opportunities should be increased so that parents can earn enough so that they do not have to make their offsprings work in order to earn extra cash. The Government should make more laws discouraging child labour. Harsh penalties may be imposed on people employing children for labour. In most developing nations, child labour is a major problem. The future of millions of children are ignored in the process of earning some spare cash.
“Before child labor laws, there were businesses that treated their ten-year-old employees well. Society didn’t ban child labor because it’s impossible to imagine children working in a good environment, but because when you give that much power to businesses over powerless individuals, it’s corrupting. When we walk around thinking we have a greater right to eat an animal than the animal has a right to live without suffering, it’s corrupting.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals
India is the leading country in child labour in comparison to other Asian countries, with a 33 million children undergoing various forms of child labour. According to the 2011 Census information, 10.13 of these workers are between the ages of 5 – 14. World Day against Child Labour is an ILO (International Labour Organisation) endorsed holiday previously dispatched in 2002 with the goal to bring issues to light and promote activism in order to prevent child labour. According to UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund), around 150 million children are involved in child labour, when looked upon worldwide. 1 in every 11 kids works to earn a living, as per insights by ActionAid India. The five states which are the greatest contributers to child labour in India are – Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, according to information given out by Save the Children NGO. The national capital of India – Delhi, in itself, is liable for a portion of 1 million child labourers alone. A new investigation by CRY (Child Rights and You) of census data in the country shows that the diminishment in child labour per year is a mere 2.2 percent, throughout the last 10 years. Additionally, it has uncovered that child labour has grown by more than 50% in metropolitan regions.

Time management is the process of planning and controlling how much time to spend on specific activities. Time management is about managing our time effectively and efficiently. Good time management enables an individual to complete more in a shorter period of time. Time management is very important for an individual in each and every part of their life. It may be for children, elderly or grown-ups. In each stage of life time is an essential element which needs to be followed.

Benefits of Time Management

The ability to manage your time effectively and efficiently is very important in one’s life. Good time management leads to improved efficiency and fetches more productivity, less stress, and leads to more success in life. The benefits of time management are;

1. Stress relief

If were are managing our time correctly, we would be able to complete our task on the given time. If the task is completed on the given time, we would get an appreciation. If we get appreciation, we will be motivated. If we get motivated, we would work more for the organization and help in achieving the goal (or) the objective of an organization easily.

      2. More time

Good time management gives you extra time to spend in your daily life. People who can time-manage effectively enjoy having more time to spend on hobbies or other personal pursuits. If we manage our time properly, there will be no question for stress, tired, unhealthy etc.

      3. More opportunities

Managing time well leads to more opportunities and less time wasted on trivial activities. Good time management skills are key qualities that employers look for. The ability to prioritize and schedule work is extremely desirable and varies from every organization. If we manage our time efficiently, we will be able to look after many things and many opportunities that we are searching for.

Time management techniques:

1. Keep a to-do list

To manage your time effectively, always keep a to-do list. A to-do list contains all the things you need to do in a certain time. In a to-do list, write the jobs or the works you want to do in a stipulated time.

2. Prioritize your task

Always prioritize you work accordingly. You should be able to prioritize your work. Prioritizing is nothing but, segregating the work into very much important, important and not important. When we segregate our task like this, we come to know which task to be completed first and the following task to be completed. By following this ways, our task can be completed and also we can manage our time easily.

3. Be focused

To manage our time efficiently and effectively, we should be always focused on the job that we are doing. Only when we are focused we would be able to complete the task in the given stipulated time. Our time can also be easily managed.

4. Track your time

Ultimately, you can’t improve how you use your time, without understanding how you actually use it in the first place. Tracking your time is elementary here – it provides the insight and self-awareness to make effective changes, surfacing hidden time drains, highlighting inefficient processes and laying out your productive patterns.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Corruption is the criminal act of dishonesty. It is an evil act said by an individual or a group. Most importantly, people in positions of authority are the most susceptible to corruption. Corruption is a representation of greed and selfish behaviour. India is full of corruption in today’s day and age. The politicians and several leaders of our nation are quite corrupt and hence India’s economy has been suffering.
Some of the common methods of corruption are:
• Bribery – Bribery is the demonstration of offering someone money or something of significant value in order to convince them to accomplish something for oneself.
• Extortion – Extortion is the crime of acquiring something from someone, especially through force or threats.
• Fraud – Fraud is a purposeful deception intended to furnish the culprit with an unlawful gain.
• Embezzlement – Embezzlement alludes to a type of whie-collar crime in which an individual or element abuses the resources dependent on him or her.
• Collusion – Collusion is a non-competitive, secret, and sometimes illegal agreement between rivals which attempts to disrupt the market’s equilibrium. The act of collusion involves people or companies which would typically compete against one another, but who conspire to work together to gain an unfair market advantage.
• Abuse of discretion – Abuse of discretion is a norm by which appellate courts review certain decisions by lower courts.
• Favouritism, nepotism and clientism – Favouritism, nepotism and clientism include preferring of not the culprit of corruption, but rather somebody identified with them, such as a friend, relative or member of an affiliation.
• Cronyism – Cronyism is the arrangements of companions and partners to places of power, without proper regard to their capabilities
• Patronage – Patronage is the help, advantage, or moneytary guide that an association or individual gives on another
“You know, it’s pretty easy reading this book to see why I was angry and confused for all those years. I lived my life being told different stories: some true, some lies and I still don’t know which is which. Children are born innocent. At birth we are very much like a new hard drive – no viruses, no bad information, no crap that’s been downloaded into it yet. It’s what we feed into that hard drive, or in my case “head drive” that starts the corruption of the files.”
― Nikki Sixx, The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star

The Government should take steps to do away with corruption. They should put up banners and hoardings throughout the city. Advertisements should be given. Hand outs should be distributed outside public buildings regarding these matters. Advertisements should be played on national television in order to spread this knowledge far and wide. The Government should include this in the curriculum for young children in order to educate them about corruption. Parents should encourage their children to fight against corruption. Children should be introduced to proper laws. The capacity to decide what is right and what is wrong should be instilled into them from a very young age. Going ahead, this will ensure a brighter future for India.

Technology is ever evolving regardless of the current market conditions. New technologies are emerging with groundbreaking innovations to tackle world issues. It must be strange that predictions are being made about the future of technology in these uncertain times.

In the coming years from systems that could predict the risk of a viral transmission to drones that could deliver essentials to your door their industry is transforming our lives.

1. Aerospace technologies

The aerospace sector has countless innovations that continue to increase over the coming years. Defense and other aerospace industries are looking forward to building zero fuel aircraft.

New aerospace technologies include advanced space propulsion systems, advances in material sciences, smart automation and blockchain with the help of 3D printing.

Many aerospace components are being developed given the global situation although innovation in this field may come at a calculated pace. 

2. 5G networks

With an increase in video conferencing remote working and digital collaboration this year, reliable connectivity and better bandwidth are crucial. 5G deployment is preventing companies from going out of business as we continue to manage school and work from home 5g will play a key role in 2021.

Companies like Samsung, Apple and Xiaomi are readily rolling out 5g phones. Technology is helping make 5G affordable to as many smartphone users as possible next year. Reports say that the global 5G services market is estimated to reach 41.48 billion by 2020 and expanded an annual growth of 43.9 percent from 2021 to 2027.

3. Edge computing

Almost all technology in today’s world are applications of edge computing collaborations with artificial intelligence. 5g and mobile cloud edge will make data processing closer to the customers leading to faster and more efficient computing, even amidst the pandemic companies continue to consolidate and expand their offering of edge solutions from traditional rugged embedded computers to high performance edges for AI and other data intensive applications.

4. Extended reality

Extended reality includes augmented and virtual reality. This technology in conjunction with others will be used during the next year to tackle challenges posed by the current situation it will largely help in avoiding dangerous situations that could potentially cause a viral transmission.

Over the coming years this technology will revolutionize healthcare education and lifestyle among others. The AR and VR market revenue is expected to reach 55 billion usd by 2021.

 5. Human augmentation

With the principles of exceeding replicating and supplementing human ability human augmentation changes. What it means to be human, the augmentation pipeline holds other great promises for the future. Like bionic human joints, embedded scanning, customizable contact lens augmented skull, feet, artificial windpipes for your throat etc.

The possibilities are endless the global human augmentation market is predicted to rise at a considerable rate during the forecast period between 2020 and 2026. Most of the innovations today are being facilitated by one vital technology.

6. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence or AI has proven to be one of today’s most transformative tech evolutions. However with the current world scenario artificial intelligence seems more promising than ever.

The volume of data collected on healthcare and infection rates can be used to prevent infection spread in the coming days machine learning algorithms will be increasingly sophisticated in the solutions.

They uncover in the coming year that AI will make predictions on demand from hospitals and other healthcare providers. According to experts global spending on cognitive and ai systems will reach 57.6 billion in 2021 and the ar market will grow to a 190 billion dollar industry by 2025. 

7. Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

RPA is the utilization of programming to mechanize business cycles like deciphering applications, handling exchanges, managing information, and in any event, answering emails. RPA automates monotonous errands that individuals used to do. 

In spite of the fact that Forrester Research gauges RPA mechanization will undermine the occupation of 230 million or more information laborers or roughly 9% of the worldwide labor force, RPA is likewise making new openings while changing existing positions. McKinsey tracks down that under 5% of occupations can be completely computerized, yet around 60% can be halfway mechanized.

8. Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things, or IoT, alludes to the billions of actual gadgets all throughout the planet that is currently associated with the web, all gathering and sharing information. On account of the appearance of super-modest central processors and the omnipresence of remote organizations, it’s feasible to turn anything, from something as little as a pill to something as large as a plane, into a piece of the IoT.

Interfacing up every one of these various articles and adding sensors to them adds a degree of advanced insight to gadgets that would be generally idiotic, empowering them to convey continuous information without including a person. The Internet of Things is making the texture of our general surroundings more astute and more responsive, consolidating the computerized and actual universes.

Employee engagement is a workplace approach resulting in their right conditions for all members of an organization to give to their best each day, committed to their organization’s, goals and values, motivated to contribute to organizational success, with an enhanced sense of their own well-being.

Employee engagement is based on trust, integrity, two way commitment and communication between an organization and its members. It is an approach that increases the chances of business success, contributing to organizational and individual performance, productivity and well-being. It can be measured. It varies from poor to great. It can be nurtured and dramatically increased; it can be lost and thrown away.

Employee engagement is getting up in the morning thinking, “Great, I’m going to work. I know what I’m going to do today. I’ve got some great ideas about how to do it really well. I’m looking forward to seeing the team and helping them work well today”.

Employee engagement is about understanding one’s role in an organisation, and being sighted and energised on where it fits in the organisation’s purpose and objectives.

Employee engagement is about having a clear understanding of how an organization is fulfilling its purpose and objectives, how it is changing to fulfil those better, and being given a voice in its journey to offer ideas and express views that are taken account of as decisions are made.

Employee engagement is about being conscious on what we are doing and have an eyesight of what is supposed to be done, whenever a task is assigned to him/her in an organization.

Employee engagement is about being included fully as a member of the team, focused on clear goals, trusted and empowered, receiving regular and constructive feedback, supported in developing new skills, thanked and recognized for achievement.

Engaged organizations have strong and authentic values, with clear evidence of trust and fairness based on mutual respect, where two-way promises and commitments – between employers and employees – are understood and fulfilled. 

Employee engagement is about positive attitudes and behaviors leading to improved business outcomes, in a way that they trigger and reinforce one another.

Employee engagement is about our employees feeling pride and loyalty working for our organization, being a great advocate of the organization to our clients, users and customers, going the extra mile to finish a piece of work.

Employee engagement is about drawing on our employees’ knowledge and ideas to improve our products and services, and be innovative about how we work.

Employee engagement is about drawing out a deeper commitment from our employees so fewer leave, sick absence reduces, accident rates decline, conflicts and grievances go down, productivity increases. Employee engagement is about organization actions that are consistent with the organization’s values. It is about kept promises, or an explanation why they cannot be kept.

Employee engagement cannot be achieved by a mechanistic approach which tries to extract discretionary effort by manipulating employees’ commitment and emotions. Employees see through such attempts very quickly and can become cynical and disillusioned.

Team building is nothing but, the people work in a team, rather than working as an individual. Team building always fetches everyone almost a comfortable zone. Without working as an individual, if rather we work in a team, especially in an organization, the goal of the organization can be easily achieved. When we are working in a team, their always exists a good relationship with each other.

Team building is always aimed at:
• creating an informal atmosphere.
• building closer relationships between each other in a team.
• improving team spirit and.
• identification of leaders.
• Development of team qualities, such as mutual support, compromise, motivation etc.

Also, team building can help in the presence of conflicts in the team, as informal dialogue and joint activities help to improve relations between employees, to remove misunderstandings. As a result of team-building, team members will know each other better and find a common language with everyone in a team. If there are conflicts in the team it is possible to recommend organizing outdoor sporting team games. When team members appear in unusual conditions, they more quickly build informal communication, find mutual language and identify opinion leaders, likes and dislikes in the team. At the same time, informal communication leads to a relaxation of each and every member in the team.

Teamwork is one of the most bare minimum requirements for any organization to function and achieve all its goals. All organizations are divided into many sections or teams which work to accomplish the tasks within the specified time limit.

All the parts of the organization do teamwork and complete the various tasks assigned to them. If there is no teamwork, the organization will fail to achieve the specified tasks. One of the most significant advantages of working in a team is that the work gets divided between all the group members more or less equally. When the work is shared, all the members are going too equal amounts of jobs. Hence, the team members will not have hard feelings that they are been overloaded with work, as they work equally in a team.

There are three levels of the team in every organization – Top Level, Middle Level, and Lower Level.

1. Top Level: The Top Level is the highest level on the structure of an organization. It is the level that sets the goals of the organization. Top Level is the team that works towards maximizing profits and to minimize the risk of the organization. Understanding the different needs and wants of the consumers is one of its main objectives.
2. Middle Level: The Middle Level is the second level on the structure of an organization. Managers or supervisors are on the Middle Level in an organization. The work of the middle level is to follow the instructions told from the top level. It allots work to the employees so that they can accomplish the goals that are set by the organization. The people working on the Middle Level, regularly check the work done by the employees and make sure that the employees meet all the deadlines which is made.
3. Last Level: The last level in the structure of an organization is the Lower Level. It is the level which consists of all the employees of the company. Employees have to work towards completing all the work that is assigned to them by the managers. They always follow the work which is given to them.

“ There’s a difference between driving and texting. When your driving your eyes have to be open and on the road watching the cars around you, road signs, and traffic lights. Along with your mind on the road and destination. Which means you are multitasking. When your texting your eyes are on your cell phone screen and key pad. Along with your mind on what your going to say next. So how can you do both? Please stop! ”
― Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Neglected But Undefeated: The Life Of A Boy Who Never Knew A Mother’s Love
Road accidents refer to the collision of vehicles with another vehicle or person or some inanimate object. We see numerous road accidents everyday. This comes even after so much improvements in technology. The question arises as to why this is happening. In the case of India, there is one death in every four minutes due to road accidents. The main culprits to this problem are low awareness about roads and drunk driving. Automobile companies too need to take more safety precautions while manufacturing cars. We as the citizens of India should unitedly request for better equipped cars with more safety precautions. Improper visibility due to various bad weather conditions and rash driving further contribute to the death toll. The Government should station police officers at close intervals to monitor traffic speed and motion detecting cameras to take note of overspeeding vehicles. Also, speed caps can be introduced on vehicle manufacture in order to curb over speeding of vehicles. Road accidents can cause permanent injuries that include broken bones, concussions, haemorrhages and other injuries. That being said, with proper care, most road accidents are avoidable.
“Everything started to move in slow motion. A vehicle was coming up the hill in the opposite direction, facing us but in its own lane. With vehicles parked on both sides of the road, this meant that there was just a narrow passage area for both vehicles to pass through. However, he had yet to reduce his speed, and now I knew which car he was going to hit. I was frozen stiff with fear in the front passenger seat, as I helplessly watched him slam into the back of a parked car. I was not wearing a seat belt, so upon impact my head crashed into the windshield. I was then slammed back into my seat, but with such force that everything went black.”
― Drexel Deal, The Fight of My Life is Wrapped Up in My Father
The main reasons for road accidents that are due to equipment failure can be classified as due to failing of break, bursting of tyre, tread separations or problems in steering or suspension. Traffic rules have been created in order to mitigate the possibility of such road accidents. Every day’s morning newspaper is covered with the deaths of people who are dead or severely injured. Despite so many precautions, road accidents are surprisingly common in India. These accidents mostly occur to those who do not obey traffic rules. Many people think that the worst consequence of breaking a traffic rule is a fine, but they fail to see the bigger picture. Such people in the long run end up paying for this mistake with their life. People in vehicles must always remember to wear their seat belts. Driver should stay below the recommended speed limit. Cars should be driven in their own lanes. It must be taken utmost care of to wear a helmet before stepping out.

Workplace romance means that, a relationship that exists between the opposite gender of people in the workplace (or) the organization there are working with.

Workplace romance

― Shashikant N Sharma

“ One hundred and fifty years ago, the monster began, this country had become a place of industry. Factories grew on the landscape like weeds. Trees fell, fields were up-ended, rivers blackened. The sky choked on smoke and ash, and the people did, too, spending their days coughing and itching, their eyes turned forever toward the ground. Villages grew into town, towns into cities. And people began to live on the earth rather than within it. ”

In today’s world, pollution is quite a relevant topic. Pollution has existed since the creation of the earth, and still continues to exist to this day. Pollution is the contamination of the natural environment that causes negative effects and long-lasting damage. Several types of pollution exist. Some of these are:
• Air pollution – Air pollution is the pollution of air due to harmful substances present in it. The contributors of air pollution are vehicle emission, dust and dirt, poisonous gases etc. Ozone gas (O3) is a major contributor of air pollution. When it combines with air, it is known as “smog”. Air pollution is caused by the increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Frequent climatic changes can also cause air pollution.
• Water pollution – Water pollution is the contamination of water due to chemicals or microorganisms, often a body of water, degraded enough to render it toxic to humans consuming water from it. A few categories of this are groundwater, surface water, surface water, ocean water, point source, nonpoint source and transboundary. The effects of water pollution can be seen from the huge number of deaths that it has caused over the ages. Drinking contaminated water causes various illnesses in people every year. These diseases include cholera, giardia and typhoid. This type of pollution is prevalent even in well off nations.
• Soil pollution – Soil pollution is the degradation of a portion of land due to the presence of chemicals or other changes in natural soil. Such pollution is characteristically aused by industrial activity, improper use of fertilizers in agriculture and improper disposal of waste. Soil pollution has a plethora of effects. Short term effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, chest pain, irritation in eyes, fatigue and weakness. Long term effects due to prolonged exposure to soil pollution are permanent damage to nervous system, depression of CNS, damage to vital organs and a higher than average risk of developing cancer.

“Because, underneath all of this is the real truth we have been avoiding: climate change isn’t an “issue” to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message—spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions—telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us that we need to evolve.” Naomi Klein

Pollution can be reduced by raising awareness about it. This can be done by the Government. The Government can educate young children about pollution by including it as a compulsory part of school curriculum for them. Banners and hoardings can be put up on streets. Advertisements can be played on national television. The only way to fight pollution is to learn about its harmful effects and let everyone take steps to curb every kind of pollution. Use of plastic products should be used and replaced by sustainable and eco-friendly products. Ultimately, pollution only causes a negative effect on the environment and the life of man. Thus we must take action against pollution before it gets any worse.

“ There is a portent of stormy weather ahead to which we had better give heed…No one knows when emergencies will strike…Set your houses in order. If you have paid your debts, if you have a reserve, even though it be small, then should storms howl about your head, you will have shelter for your wife and children and peace in your hearts. That’s all I have to say about it, but I wish to say it with all the emphasis of which I am capable. “

Every nation should outline a plan beforehand in order to tackle disasters when they strike. These disasters may be either man-made or natural. These things involve the loss of life and property.

Some examples of disasters are:
• Chemical emergency – Under specific conditions, the chemicals used in our daily lives can become harmful to the human body. Even in the case of chemicals we come across in our daily lives, large quantities of them can be harmful. Exposure to chemicals usually occurs by breathing it in, consuming contaminated food, water, medicine or touching or coming in close proximity with toxic chemicals.
• Drought – A drought is characterised by a period of dryness long enough to cause harmful effects. Its severity depends n the degree of moisture in the air. Droughts are usually of four types – meteorological, agricultural, hydrological and socioeconomic.
• Earthquake – It is characterised by a sudden and rapid shaking of the earth which occurs due to the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the surface of the earth.
• Fire – Fires can be fought easily with the help of a working smoke alarm and an escape route that has been well practised. It can also be avoided using common workplace safety protocols that have been put in place in order to avoid such fires.
• Flood – Floods are the overflow of water to submerge land causing huge economic damages. It usually occurs after hurricanes. Flash floods are a specific type of flood that involves fast rising water levels and occurs only along a stream or low-lying areas.
• Flu – It is a contagious respiratory disease. Flu generally spreads from person to person through coughing or sneezing. The types of flus include seasonal, epidemic, swine and avian flu.
• Nuclear explosion – Nuclear explosions involve an intense amount of light and heat to be dispersed in addition to a damaging pressure wave and spreading of radioactive material, contaminating natural bodies. Nuclear fallout is the falling of minute radioactive debris from the atmosphere just after a nuclear explosion. Radiation is energy coming from a source that causes it to travel at the speed of light.

“ If you knew what I knew, you would pile it up in the middle of the floor, throw a cloth over it and walk around it!”
– Harold B. Lee
Proper measures are pertinent in order to cope with various disasters, be it natural or man-made. Safety precautions and guidelines must be laid out thoroughly beforehand in accordance with these disasters. Disaster prone areas should be notified beforehand. This can be done through education. The Government should take an initiative in this regard. Education can be given to young children in schools. Banners and hoardings can be put up. Advertisements can be played on the national television regarding disaster management. The news channels can be asked to promote proper disaster management and safety precautions that can be taken at home in order to avoid such occurrences. The only way that man can fight disasters is by spreading awareness about it.

“Whatever your favorite kind of resistance is, it is likely to go into full bloom as you start making changes to your livelihood because this is an area that is linked with survival (our job is what pays our bills) as well as identity (our job is how we define ourselves). As a matter of fact, the more resistance you encounter, the more likely that you’re hitting paydirt in your transformational process.”
― Maia Duerr, Work That Matters: Create a Livelihood That Reflects Your Core Intention
With the spread of the coronavirus on the rise, jobs are slowly on the decline. Most jobs have been lately reducing work hours for employees. This indirectly means lesser salaries. This is being done in order to save money which is spent in order to pay the several employees in a company periodically. As the decline continues, nearly one in every two people lately suffer from the risk of losing their job. This data has been confirmed by the International Labour Organization (ILO). With passing months, the drop in work hours continue to become steeper than what was previously estimated with more and more people suffering. The extension of the lockdown period is a contributor to the effect of people losing their jobs. America has experienced a 12.4 percent drop in working hours as compared to the 11.8 percent in Europe and Central Asia. Other regional groups follow closely behind with numbers as high as 9.5 percent.
Billions of people have lost their source of livelihood due to the global pandemic. Several billions have suffered permanent damage. Mostly people working in the restaurant, entertainment and tourism industries have been hit the hardest. People who continue to have a source of income have experienced a significiant drop in the amount that they usually earn. Since there are little to no new jobs coming up, millions of people are dying due to lack of means to survive. The Government should work upon providing more jobs for the common people in order to maintain a strong financial backbone. Better allocation of resources and provision of aid to start-ups and small family-run business are in much need. People are also expecting schemes in order to help the poor and needy survive.
“This advice comes as a surprise: job searching is not joblessness; it is a job in itself and should be structured to resemble one, right down to the more regrettable features of employment, like having to follow orders–orders which are in this case self-generated.”
― Barbara Ehrenreich, Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream
The prolonged lockdowns in India, although very necessary, has greatly harmed the nation’s economy. It has lead to loss of jobs for millions of people, most of whom now possess no means to survive. With no means to stop the spread of the coronavirus, lockdowns were the only logical decision at that time in order to avoid the risk of infecting millions of people. Although the lockdown contributed to saving the lives of people, it had similar negatives effects due to the loss of jobs for many people. Thus saving people’s livelihoods is equally important. The call for action should be to strike a balance between lockdown and the preservation of livelihoods for millions. The lockdown also found millions of migrating workers far away from their home, deprived of work and shelter and no means of survival. The worst blow was dealt to the people who were in informal employment. The quality of healthcare for patients without COVID-19 saw a drastic decrease in the months leading to the lockdown.

“ ‘Freedom’ means a lot to conservatives, but they have such a narrow sense of what it means. They think a lot about freedom from – freedom from government, freedom from regulation – and precious little about freedom to. Freedom to is absolutely something that has to be safeguarded by good government, just as it could be impaired by bad government. ”
– Pete Buttigieg
The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in India was at the district of Thrissur in Kerala – a student who had returned home to enjoy a vacation from the Wuhan University in China. Since then, it has been several months. Most small business are expected to fail to endure the pandemic and in the process, shut down completely. Most of the owners of these small businesses have stated that they will require financial aid in case they are to reopen or continue to stay open. These small businesses and companies mostly do not possess the necessary funds and assets required in order to survive the pandemic. It is widely believed among the small business owners that restaurants took the brunt of the effect due to the pandemic. All restaurants regardless of size had been ordered to be closed by the Government. While on the other hand, gyms are allowed to operate at full capacity, restaurants have to continue to face such difficulties.
Every year, several events are held across the globe. Some of the popular events among these are the Olympic Games, World Cup, World Expo, Art and Culture festivals, performances and charity fundraising. These events along with several other local events may be a source of earning of several locals. Due to shortage of funds, these events often fail, leading to severe losses for the locals. The Government’s financial support would make it easy for these events to take place. Other events such as Art and Cultural festivals do not create economic benefits, but they do have cultural as well as environmental benefits. Even such events require Government aid in order to function in a healthy manner. These events can also be a source of income for the Government. Since it is a win-win situation, the Government should assist in the hosting of such effects. However one must not forget that the original aim of some of these events is not to make profit, but to take forward the sports culture across generations.
“ A constant stream of ‘free’ money is a perfect way to keep an inefficient or simply bad government in power. As aid flows in, there is nothing more for the government to do – it doesn’t need to raise taxes, and as long as it pays the army, it doesn’t have to take account of its disgruntled citizens. ”
– Dambisa Moyo
Even today for many children, education remains just a dream. The Government needs to provide sufficient funds in order to make these dreams a reality. Government schools barely have the adequate equipment required in order to equip students with proper practical skills. Books and other such materials are also missing from most schools. Most teachers do not possess sufficient training to teach the students. The Government should strive towards making changes in these schools. They should start by providing financial aid to children in need. Books and other study materials should be provided by the school, free of cost, as such things can be recycled year after year. Throughout the ages, the major social problems such as deteriorating education, lawlessness and crime, homelessness, the collapse of family values, the crisis in medical care – have been produced by well-intended actions by the Government.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

To accomplish sustained poverty reduction, nations like Indonesia should seek financial development that includes and benefits the poor. The development of the poor is a necessary aspect in order to meet the UN (United Nations) Development Goal (MDGs) which has a set focus fo various difficulties in varied sectors (agriculture and income, education, health, water and sanitation). Although infrastructure hasn’t been distinguished as a direct MDG target or indicator, the arrangement of infrastructure is essential in facilitating financial growth and local development. Without sustainable infrastructure development, a large number of MDG targets may not be met. Investing in infrastructure might be a source of livelihood for many people. The development and upkeep of such infrastructure needs labour and this creates opportunities for people to get a job. The utilization of local resources also bring about the betterment of the economy of the neighbourhood. Although India is the world’s fourth largest economy, lack of good infrastructure is a cause of major obstruction to a huge amount of growth and development. Physical infrastructure has a direct impact on economy and may cause people to invest money in India.

While infrastructure in India is still developing, there are a plethora of issues which need to be addressed in order to curb poor infrastructure. A few of such examples are:
• A stark division between production and demand of electricity detrimenting both manufacturing and overall growth
• Roads are a popular means of transport. They are cheap and easy to avail and can take us to most places in our daily lives. Roads act as a backbone for transportation in India. The poor conditions of the roads thus effect the quality, speed and the wide reach of transport here.

It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us.
– William J. Clinton
India’s ambition of keeping in pace with its extremely fast pace of growth depends largely on infrastructure. The infrastructure available in India is till date inadequate and insufficient for such a growing nation. Infrastructure development is the main priority for improving India’s manufacturing competitiveness and as a result cause higher growth. Even for budgeted projects, timely execution is a challenge for many. Although things such as power generation and transmission is on the rise, the declining condition of transportation infrastructure forces a limit onto corporate performance and investments. If developed successfully, good infrastructure may benefit a myriad of sectors and be an overall boost to the country’s economy. However, large sums of money are necessary for such infrastructure to take place. It is important to first fill up the infrastructure deficit before thinking about going for better infrastructure for future growth. The cost for transport in India (around 15% of the country’s GDP) as well as China(around 18-20% of the country’s GDP). The GST (goods and service tax) aims at fixing the negative effects of different layers of taxes across the state and the central governments, causing much help to logistics and infrastructure companies.
