The dance of the winds over the Indian Ocean and the resultant monsoon are majestic geographical process. We are among the twenty countries of the world where 80% of all rainfall is attributed to the monsoon. Monsoon is very intricately linked to India’s history, culture, geography and economy. Let’s take a round trip to the various facets of the monsoon.

The historical bearings of the monsoon– A good monsoon overlapped with the period when in the past when armies could no longer go for expeditions. On the contrary, a bad monsoon was the right time for waging wars and expeditions. The fact that the Mughal successions were somewhat parallel to the monsoon failures shows that the Monsoon was a political factor which could dethrone an emperor. Later In colonial times, Indian budget got the epithet of a ‘gamble on monsoon’ by a British officer, another historical footprints of the Monsoon.

Monsoon’s cultural collection– The melody of ‘Sawan ka Mahina’ and the numerous songs in a panoply of languages or the rich collection of poetry dedicated to monsoon are testimony of its cultural importance. Paintings depicting the joyous moments exhibiting monsoon are other examples. The festival’s and celebratory rituals to welcome the monsoons dear to the farmers of India is another colour of the cultural significance of the season. The charisma of monsoon served as inspiration for the cultural renaissance of India.

Geography of the mighty monsoon– It all starts when the continental interiors of Asia and Africa heat up during the summers. This rise in temperature causes change in the location of the zone of convergence of winds coming from North and South. This region is called Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The heat leads to northward shifting of the convergence zone. Hence the winds coming from the southern hemisphere travels its way through the southern Indian Ocean and when it crosses the equator it turns slightly towards the east. This wind carries the moisture from the ocean and brings precipitation to India. This is an oversimplification of the complex process there a lot of other factors that influences it like, La Nina and El Nino.

Ecological significance– According to the Koppen classification of climatic zones, India has a monsoon type of climate. The green cover or vegetation of India is influenced by the monsoon. The rich species diversity of India, both flora and fauna, is due to the climate and the seasons. This country is a holy abode for nature enthusiasts. Apart from the already exists aesthetic beauty, the rich collection of plants and animals, we hear almost regularly about the new species being discovered. Monsoon should be acknowledged for this diversity.

Economics of the monsoon– India is an agricultural country and it is no secret that this agro-economy is dependent on monsoon. A good monsoon equates with a good harvest and good economic indicators. On the other hand a bad monsoon directly implicates India’s gross domestic product (GDP). The food security and self-sufficiency provided by nature’s bounty also helps in feeding the country and hence reducing the need to import it from other countries. The amount of money that would have been used in the import of food can be utilised to fulfil other needs.

Clearly, Monsoon has many stories. India and its romance with monsoon is an amusing tale that continues to date.

Unemployment is now at an alarming level. Qualified people are sitting at home, suffering from unemployment. This is the form of governance of our country. Unemployment is on the rise in India. These are the things happening as a result of unemployment-

     The youth is slowly fading.

    There is not enough space for jobs.

    Self-confidence of the youth is declining day by day.

    Financial distribution is declining.  

No country can move forward well with such an unemployment rate. It has uprooted the roots of our life. It is a major obstacle in the way of speeding up the stages of life. If unemployment continues like this, the progress of the country will become a very difficult matter.

Geoffrey Chaucer was born in London in 1340. He was an English author, poet, philosopher, courtier, and diplomat. He is also referred to as the father of English Literature.was the first to write what became generally well-known and recognized poems and stories in the language of the common people of his time – medieval English.

Geoffrey Chaucer was born in the reign of Edward III, lived through that of Richard II, and died the year after Henry IV ascended the throne. His father and grandfather were both London vintners and several previous generations had been merchants in Ipswich. His family name is derived from the French chasseur, meaning “shoemaker”. We know practically nothing about his childhood, but it is evident from the wide and varied scholarship with characteristics his writings that he must have enjoyed the advantages of a liberal education. At seventeen he received a court appointment as a page to the wife of the Duke of Clarence, Edward III’s son. In 1359 he was with the English army in France, where he was taken prisoner, but was soon ransomed for 16 pounds. Sometime after this, he married and became valet of the king’s chamber.
Chaucer’s literary career into three periods, which are called his French, his Italian, and his English period, respectively. His genius was nourished, to begin with, on the French poetry and romance which formed the favourite reading of the court and cultivated society during the time of his youth. Naturally, he followed the fashion and his early work was done on French models. Thus, besides translating proportions at least of the popular Roman de la Rose, he wrote among other quite imitative things, an allegory on the death of Blanche, John of Gaunt’s wife which he called The Bake of Duchesse (1369) and which is wholly in the manner of the reigning French school. Chaucer is the disciple of the great Italian masters, for The House Of Fame clearly owes much to Dante, while Troylus and Cryseyde by far his longest single poem, is based upon and in part translated from, Boccaccio’s Filostatrato. To the close of this period, the unfinished Legende of Good Women may also be referred. Finally, he ceases to be Italian as he had ceased to be French and becomes English. The Canterbury Tales in which we have Chaucer’s most famous and characteristic work.
The Canterbury Tales is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400.The tales mostly written in verse, although some are in prose are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return. All this is explained in the prologue after which Chaucer proceeds to introduce his fellow Pilgrims. He lived to complete a small portion only, for the work as we have it is merely a fragment of 24 tales.

At the ends of the Earth, life thrives despite extreme conditions. In the Arctic and Southern Oceans, organisms have evolved adaptations to cope with year-round cold and six months of darkness. But the tough critters living in these harsh climates belie the delicate balance that holds the ecosystem together—a balance that human activities are disrupting in alarming ways.

Among the biggest threats to the poles is rapid climate change. Atmospheric carbon dioxide has been rising for more than a century, with hefty contributions from the fossil fuels used to power our homes, businesses, and cars. The increasingly dense blanket of greenhouse gases is trapping heat and taking its toll on the planet, especially at the poles. Global temperatures have increased since the 1800s with models predicting their continued rise, and sea ice has been decreasing in extent and thickness. By 2040, Arctic sea ice may disappear altogether during summer months.

The warming of polar oceans has powerful implications for organisms living there—and for us. Polar sea ice helps regulate Earth’s climate. White ice reflects more of the Sun’s energy back into space than does dark water. Without sea ice, Earth would absorb more solar radiation—and our climate would be even warmer.

Many animals also depend directly on sea ice. Polar bears, for instance, hunt seals from the ice and gain most of their weight in winter. But with ice declining and breaking up earlier, bears have less time to hunt. Because their habitat is melting, the bears were listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in May of 2008. Pacific walruses, which usually plow a large area of the ocean floor while looking for clams and other prey, have started congregating near the shore and on land because the sea ice is beyond their reach. Ringed seals, ivory gulls, and ice algae are just some of the other species that rely on the ice to survive.

In polar waters, tiny swimming snails called pteropods will feel the changes in another way. In addition to warming, the ocean is becoming more acidic as it absorbs more carbon dioxide from the air. Scientists predict that during this century, parts of the Southern Ocean will be so acidic that the shells of pteropods and other organisms will begin dissolving. Since they are an essential food source for larger animals such as herring, cod, and, and baleen whales, the problems pteropods face could disrupt the entire ecosystem. Their plight also spells trouble for corals and other marine animals that build their shells or skeletons from calcium.

Other species, such as caribou, are changing their migration patterns and ranges as seasons and weather patterns shift. For people who live near the poles, like the Inuvialuit people of Sachs Harbour, Canada, weather and hunting grounds are becoming more unpredictable. Knowledge of the environment that has served generations is being defied by a changing climate. Many northern communities have also observed coastal erosion and watched the permafrost—ground that is frozen most of the year—melting and buckling under their homes and roads. While not common, some communities like Kivalina and Shishmaref, both in Alaska, are planning to entirely relocate, with costs in the hundreds of millions of dollars

Father’s Day 2021: Date, history, importance of the day
Father’s Day 2021 Date: In India, Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in the month of June. This year, it falls on June 20.

Fathers Day 2021: In India, Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in the month of June. This year, it falls on June 20. Owing to the pandemic, however, celebrations will be minimal, just like they were last year. Most people exchange cards, bake cakes, prepare hearty meals, or even present flowers to their father as a symbol of their love and gratitude.

Father’s day also extends to those bonds which are equivalent to parental bonds. The day is dedicated to honouring and celebrating not only fathers, but also father figures who shape our minds, thoughts and are instrumental in giving wings to our wishes and desires. This day is dedicated to the efforts and sacrifices our fathers selflessly do for us.

History

Sixteen years old Sonora Louise Dodd lost her mother untimely. Her father, a widower, was left to raise Sonora and her five younger brothers. A war veteran, Dodd’s father selflessly took care of his children.

Later, Sonora drew a petition with regard to celebrating Father’s Day. She wanted to honour and acknowledge the role of fathers and all father-like figures on the date of her father’s birthday, which was June 5.

Even though the petition was not successful, Sonora convinced local church communities to participate. However, the day was later pushed to be the third Sunday of June. The resulting celebration, in Spokane, Washington, sparked Dodd’s lifelong mission memorialising the efforts of fathers, turning it into an event of national significance. Over the next half-century, Dodd travelled the United States, speaking on behalf of Father’s Day and campaigning for the cause.

India’s permanent mission at the United Nations has clarified that India’s new IT rules are “designed to empower ordinary users of social media” and were finalised after holding broad consultations with civil society and other stakeholders in 2018. “Permanent Mission of India would like to inform that MeitY & Information & Broadcasting Ministry undertook broad consultations in 2018 with various stakeholders, including individuals, civil society, industry associations and invited public comments to prepare draft rules,” the mission said in a communication to the rapporteurs.India’s statement comes after three rapporteurs of the Special Procedures Branch of the Human Rights Council in a communication sent to the government on June 11 had raised concerns over the new IT rules, 2021.
The rapporteurs had said that India’s Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, in their current form, do not conform with international human rights norms.IT rules designed to empower social media users’
Responding to the criticism, the mission said that the rules were finalized after an inter-ministerial meeting had discussed in detail the comments received.
It said, “The rules are designed to empower ordinary users of social media. The victims of abuse at social media platforms shall have a forum for redressal of their grievances. The IT rules finalized after due discussion with various stakeholders.”It said the enactment of new rules had become necessary due to widespread concerns about issues relating to increased instances of abuse of social media and digital platforms, including inducement for recruitment of terrorists, circulation of obscene content, the spread of disharmony, financial frauds, incitement of violence, public order etc.India’s democratic credentials well recognized’
“Permanent Mission of India would like to highlight that India’s democratic credentials are well recognized. The right to freedom of speech and expression is guaranteed under the Indian Constitution. Independent judiciary and robust media are part of India’s democratic structure,” the mission said.The concerns alleging potential implications for freedom of expression that the new IT rules will entail is highly misplaced,” it wrote.New IT rules seek only limited information'”On the traceability of the first originator of the information, it may be noted that the new IT rules seeks only limited information. Only when a message already in public circulation is giving rise to violence, impinging on the unity and integrity of India, depicting a woman in a bad light, or sexual abuse of a child and when no other intrusive options are working, only then the significant social media intermediary will be required to disclose as to who started the message,” India’s mission wrote in its response to the UN letter.Several social media platforms, which use end-to-end encryption technology to ensure user privacy, have argued that they will have to read, track and trace all user messages in order to trace the first originator of the texts that are offensive.Concern misplaced, disingenuous’
The mission said that the concern that the rules may be misused deliberately to make a large number of complaints so as to overwhelm the grievance redressal mechanisms created by social media platforms is also “misplaced, exaggerated and disingenuous”.It added that this argument shows a lack of willingness to address the grievances of the users of these media platforms while using their data to earn revenuesIndia fully respects right to privacy’
India said it fully recognises and respects the right of privacy, as pronounced by the Supreme Court of India in KS Puttusamy case. Privacy is the core element of an individual’s existence and, in light of this, the new IT rules seeks information only on a message that is already in circulation that resulted in an offence.The rules, said the government, have framed in exercise of the statutory powers of the IT Act, fully taking into account the principles of reasonableness and proportionality.IT rules not subject to parliamentary review, says UN report
The report by the UN Special Rapporteurs had said that the new social media rules “were not subject to parliamentary review or open for consultation with stakeholders”The report by the UN Special Rapporteurs had said that the new social media rules “were not subject to parliamentary review or open for consultation with stakeholders”.
“We believe such consultations with relevant stakeholders are essential in order to ensure the final text is compatible with India’s international legal obligations, in particular with Articles 17 and 19 of the ICCPR,” it added.Union law and telecommunications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad reiterated at an online lecture on Saturday that the guidelines issued by the Centre for social media companies came after a direction from the Supreme Court, adding that the instructions were essential to stop “misuse” of social media

In India and the world as the corona crisis is high all are suffering from this situation. Many people are afraid of this corona so they are moving towards their own town and place. Some people are affected by this so they could not go for work. In this lockdown many are affected jobs some will be moving from one job to another.

In this situation all are staying at home the small hold business man are affected. Many of the business have to move from one place to another but because of this lockdown we cannot move out. In which side we turn there is rise in price each thing is in extreme rate in this lockdown. If one person start to raise the amount all has raised the rate in everything we buy for our daily usage. There is no money to run their family in each side there is a pressure on money. The farmers can do their work but at the time of cultivation he has sell to other countries and states. In some countries they have stopped because of this corona pandemic. So there is no way to get sufficient amount they will get some amount, but they have been cultivated much so that they are throwing in the road side everywhere. This situation is a total loss for everybody there is no idea that we can bring back our country to maintain the correct level. In India no one knows what to do to bring the life back. The only source to start a new life is only money to start their life again it helps them. All companies from small to top are asking for increase in amount and high post in their respective jobs. Government is running to save the people from this virus to give life in each person the government is giving so many offers. The government has told free bed, vaccination etc and they have less the amount of the things which we buy in this pandemic time. In the same situation the petrol, diesel and gas amount is in the top level all are requesting to less the amount. They are asking for loan without any intrest for two months. In each state all people are affected in one or other the central government cannot see only the amount raising. In this situation itself the china and Pakistan countries are fighting with India. To fight with them we want new equipments we must buy that and we should see the safety measures of the military persons. Each one is suffering in the winter to take care of them they need some amount. Even though many business and all give money for the central government they cannot see each and everyone because this corona is spreading for animals also.

2) Learn new recipes
Wash your hands, put on some music, and start experimenting in the kitchen. It is such a fulfilling activity that we can do with our families and enjoy spending some time together, while cooking delicious brownies, or cookies, or cakes, or anything you really like to do. But don’t stay in the basic; why not get out of your comfort zone to try new things? Experiment with new recipes, try vegan dishes, gluten-free options, healthy choices, and of course a lot of desserts as well! Cooking is such an amazing and fun activity to do at this moment, and it really does take your mind off things.

3) Spend some quality time with your loved ones

If you are lucky enough to be with your family at home, take the time to enjoy and appreciate them. Grab a board game and have a game night all together. Get a glass of wine and some cookies, and sit around the table to share stories and moments together from years gone by. And if you are not with family right now, make a phone call. It’s the sharing of that moment that will make you all feel happier and safer.

4) Grab a book and relax with it
Find a comfy place around your house, maybe outside in the garden, or on that nice sofa in the living room. Grab a book and get immersed in it; you don’t have any time limits or schedules to follow! It’s a fact that reading can reduce stress, and in moments like this we might be filled with anxiety and frustration. Reading is an amazing way to relax.

5) Connect with friends
Whether you prefer to use FaceTime, WhatsApp, Skype, HouseParty, Zoom, Netflix Party, or any other platform that you like, take a moment every day to connect with your friends. Remember, we are all in this together, we all are isolated in our houses, and we all miss our friends so very much!

Call your group of friends often over a video call and play a game altogether, have a laugh, talk about all the things you would do on a random day out with them. And don’t forget to grab a glass of wine (or a soft drink of course!) to toast with them despite the distance!

6) Take advantage of classic sports replays
There are no live sports to watch on TV right now (which makes all of us sports fans extremely sad). But there is something amazing going on around the world: many of the classic sports matches from history are being replayed on TV!

Last week, we had the chance to relive matches from the FIFA World Cup 2002, and every day we can get access to new classic games. Take advantage and welcome back your family sports afternoons.

7) Make Fridays still count as Fridays
Many of us are dealing with schedules that are in ruins and daily lives that are all over the place at the moment. However, don’t forget to still make the weekends count. Either with your family at home, or with your friends over a video call, put on some nice clothes (rather than your pajamas!), turn on some music, grab a drink, and have some laughs all night long with them. We mustn’t lose the sense of fun and parties of the weekends…

8) Watch more shows and series
We always want more and more time to watch new shows, series and movies. Well, now we have it and we have to make it count! Conveniently, the newest season of Netflix’s world famous and addictive La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) series came out just a few weeks ago. If you haven’t seen it, this is your chance to start watching one of the catchiest and most addictive worldwide shows that we’ve seen in a while. You can also take this time to watch all of those long and deep films you’ve been putting off during the last few months as well.

9) Learn a new language
Because, why not? It is as easy as downloading an app like Duolingo, choosing the language you would like to learn and do a little bit of it every day. It’s a great way to take your mind off things and focus on a specific goal, which can help you organize yourself better during confinement.

Believe it or not, the world is spinning around money- the supreme power. Money was and is the most important factor governing a man’s actions. All the luxuries and the necessities of life are dependent on money. Without money, pangs of hunger and thirst eat into the every bone of a person. Therefore, money is the means to achieve the goal. The goal is a comfortable life and money is the means to realise it.

However, in reality, money has become the cause of all the disasters in one’s life. It has divided the society between the rich and the poor. This fragmentation of the society has bred jealousy leading to theft and crimes wherein everyone is busy raising their bank balances.

Therefore, we should always try to focus on the fact that money should never become the root cause of our disasters and usage of money should be done in a most wisely and kindly manner as far as possible.

Science has made the life very comfortable for human being. Civilisation started from the scratch. But today, men have everything within the reach of hands. Inventions of science are wonderful and useful. The invention of mobile phone is an appropriate example.

     The invention of mobile phone has brought about a revolution in the lives of the people of the century. If used properly, it can be a blessing but if misused, it can prove to be a curse.

Mobile phones are a boon because now that the internet can be accessed through cell phones, they have become a great source of information, entertainment and even monetary transactions. Besides being a tool of immediate communication, mobile phones are now a safety tool as well. Thanks to advancement in technology, friends and loved can be tracked down with the help of GPS installed on their phone.

Mobile phones, these days, are a state of the art, all-in-one multipurpose device, which can do multiple tasks at the same time. It can play music, calculate, take pictures and do many other things. One can send and receive messages in a matter of seconds thus, saving paper and cost of transportation.

However, if misused, mobile phones are truly a bane. Using mobile phones for a long time makes the user get addicted to it. Some consider it a major source of distraction especially for students.

Mobile phones also cause many health hazards. Radiation emitted by mobile phones can damage human brain cells and even lead to cancer.

Those listening to music in full volume, with the help of head/earphones are more prone to accidents than other because they are unable to hear the sound of the horn. It can also cause permanent deafness.

Mobile phones, now being equipped with camera, are sometimes used for immoral activities and later promoting them.

Mobile phones have the qualities, which can either make or break one’s life. It is up to each individual how he or she wants to use it.

Should Children Use Mobile Phones or Not?

It depends on how the phones are used. Instead of wasting time playing online games or posting on social media, children must optimise their use of mobile phones by amassing knowledge and enriching their talent. This will make mobile phones a boon for all children.

Academically, children can use mobile phones to:

Expand their knowledge

*Improve their English skills as a majority of language online is in English

*Improve their vocabulary

*Strengthen their mathematical ability

*Understand science concepts

*Improve their creativity

*Download educational apps

*Improve their dexterity and reflexes

If you’re deciding whether you should get your child a smartphone, remember that mobile phones are not all bad. Of course, kids will have fun with them, but they can still be used for educational purposes. Students can use mobile phones to practice their academic lessons and test themselves using online practice learning sites such as LetsPractise.

Making mobile phones a boon or a bane is in our hands. You can make the merits outweigh the demerits. Let us teach children to use mobile phones consciously for the right purpose to upgrade their lives.

1.Myth: Grain products such as bread, pasta, and rice are fattening. You should avoid them when trying to lose weight.
Fact: Grains themselves aren’t necessarily fattening—or unhealthy–although substituting whole grains for refined-grain products is healthier and may help you feel fuller. At least half of the grains you eat should be whole grains.
TIP: Try to replace refined or white bread with whole-wheat bread and refined pasta with whole-wheat pasta. Or add whole grains to mixed dishes, such as brown instead of white rice to stir fry
2.Myth: To lose weight, you have to give up all your favorite foods.
Fact: You don’t have to give up all your favorite foods when you’re trying to lose weight. Small amounts of your favorite high-calorie foods may be part of your weight-loss plan. Just remember to keep track of the total calories you take in. To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you take in through food and beverages.
TIP: Limiting foods that are high in calories may help you lose weight. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 External link have estimated daily calorie needs based on a person’s age, sex, and physical activity level.
3.Myth: You should avoid all fats if you’re trying to be healthy or lose weight.
Fact: You do not have to avoid all fats if you’re trying to improve your health or lose weight. Fat provides essential nutrients and should be an important part of a healthy eating plan. But because fats have more calories per gram than protein or carbohydrates, or “carbs,” you need to limit fats to avoid extra calories. If you are trying to lose weight, consider eating small amounts of food with healthy fats, such as avocados, olives, or nuts. You also could replace whole-fat cheese or milk with lower-fat versions.
TIP: consuming less than 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fats. Try cutting back on solid-fat foods. Use olive oil instead of butter in cooking.
4.Myth: Dairy products are fattening and unhealthy.
Fact: Dairy products are an important food group because they have protein your body needs to build muscles and help organs work well, and calcium to strengthen bones. Most dairy products, such as milk and some yogurts, have added vitamin D to help your body use calcium, since many Americans don’t get enough of these nutrients. Dairy products made from fat-free or low-fat milk have fewer calories than dairy products made from whole milk.
TIP: Adults should have 3 servings a day of fat-free or low-fat dairy products, including milk or milk products such as yogurt and cheese, or fortified soy beverages, as part of a healthy eating plan.
5.Myth: Choosing foods that are gluten-free will help you eat healthier.

Fact: Gluten-free foods are not healthier if you don’t have celiac disease or are not sensitive to gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye grains. A health care professional is likely to prescribe a gluten-free eating plan to treat people who have celiac disease or are sensitive to gluten. If you don’t have these health problems but avoid gluten anyway, you may not get the vitamins, fiber, and minerals you need. A gluten-free diet is not a weight-loss diet and is not intended to help you lose weight.

TIP: Before you decide to avoid a whole food group, talk with your health care professional if you believe you have problems after you consume foods or drinks with wheat, barley, or rye.

In Jammu and Kashmir, Police have busted a Narco Terror Module in Uri area of Baramulla district and arrested 10 people with a huge quantity of heroin and arms and ammunition. Baramulla SSP Rayees Mohammad Bhat said that the recoveries include four pistols, ten grenades, 21 Lakh rupees in cash, 9 Kgs heroin worth 45 crore rupees and four vehicles. 

The country has successfully administered over 27 crore 62 lakh vaccine doses so far. Health Ministry informed that more than 33 lakh 72 thousand vaccine doses were given in the country yesterday, on the 155th day of the largest vaccination drive. Out of this, nearly 29 lakh beneficiaries were given 1st dose, whereas over 4 lakh 71 thousand beneficiaries received their 2nd dose.

Health Ministry confirmed that so far over 5 crore 50 lakh doses of the vaccine have been given to people in the age group of 18 to 44 years. Nearly 20 lakh 50 thousand beneficiaries in this age group received their first jabs yesterday whereas over 78 thousand others were given their second dose.

The Ministry said, more than 10 lakh beneficiaries in the age group of 18-44 years have already received their first dose of COVID vaccine in Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra,  Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal.

So far over 22 crore 52 lakh people in the country have received their first dose of the COVID vaccine whereas around 5 crore 9 lakh have been fully vaccinated with both doses.

Health Ministry said, vaccination is an integral pillar of the comprehensive strategy of the Government for containment and management of the pandemic, along with Test, Track, Treat and COVID Appropriate Behaviour. The Liberalised and Accelerated Phase-3 Strategy of Covid-19 Vaccination has come into force from 1st of last month.

Centre will kick-start the free distribution of 75 per cent of total COVID vaccines cleared by the Central Drug lab to all the States & Union Territories from tomorrow. This includes vaccines for beneficiaries of all age group including those between 18 to 44 years. The move is aimed at strengthening and further ramping up the Covid-19 vaccination drive in the country.

The procurement of vaccines by the Centre, which is currently 50 per cent of the total doses cleared by the Central drug lab will be enhanced to 75 per cent. The vaccines will then be given to all the States and Union Territories for administration to people of all age groups. The announcement regarding this was made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 7th of this month in his address to the Nation.

After commencement of this policy, the States and UTs will not have to pay any amount for the procurement of vaccines as Centre will bear all the expenses for the same. An early estimate suggests that the new policy will cost the Centre over 15 thousand crore rupees more than its previously allocated 35 thousand crore rupees for the Vaccination programme in the current financial year.

The Centre will also pay the GST of 5 per cent on the vaccines procured, making vaccination at Government facilities completely free for all eligible beneficiaries.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the lead event of the 7th International Yoga Day tomorrow. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lead event of the International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2021 will be a televised programme and is scheduled to start at 6.30 AM on all Doordarshan channels.

Tiwari, Swami Chidanand Saraswati, Dr. Chinmay Pandey, Muni Shri Sagar  Maharaj, Swami Bharat Bhushan, Dr. Vishwas Mandalik, Sister B.K. Shivani, S. Sridharan and Ms. Antoinette Rozi.

The Ministry of Ayush has highlighted the important role of Yoga in one’s overall wellbeing, through various activities organised in the run up to the International Day of Yoga (IDY). The main theme of IDY 2021 is “Yoga for Wellness”, which is aligned to the current pre-occupations. Numerous digital initiatives taken by the Ministry together with nearly 1000 other stake-holding institutions made the practice of Yoga accessible to the public, despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.

The Missions of India abroad are coordinating various activities in the run up to the 21st June in their respective countries, and as per reports, Yoga Day will be observed in about 190 countries globally.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a meeting of all political parties from Jammu & Kashmir on the 24th of this month in New Delhi. Centre has invited 14 political leaders of Jammu and Kashmir, including four former chief ministers.

The political leaders received the invite for the meeting over the phone. Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla reached out to the J&K leaders to invite them to the meeting at PM’s residence to discuss the future course of action for the Union territory.

This is the first such exercise since the Centre’s decision of revoking Article 370 — a provision that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir — and its bifurcation into Union territories in August 2019.

The leaders invited to the meeting include four former chief ministers — Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah of the National Conference, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti. Four former deputy chief ministers — Congress leader Tara Chand, People’s Conference leader Muzaffar Hussain Baig, and BJP leaders Nirmal Singh and Kavinder Gupta are among others who have been invited to the meet.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other central leaders are also likely to be present at the meeting. The meeting is said to be a part of the Centre’s initiatives to strengthen political processes in the union territory.

Earlier on Friday, Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and top security officials met in the national capital to discuss various issues regarding Jammu and Kashmir with Lt Governor Manoj Sinha.

Flipkart was founded in October 2007 by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and former Amazon employees.The company initially focused on online book sales with country-wide shipping. Flipkart slowly grew in prominence and was receiving 100 orders per day by 2008.In 2010, Flipkart acquired the Bangalore-based social book discovery service WeRead from Lulu.com

Acquisitions

In 2011, Flipkart acquired the digital distribution business Mime360.com and the digital content library of the Bollywood portal Chakpak. Following this acquisition, Flipkart launched their DRM-free online music store Flyte in 2012. Because of competition from free streaming sites, the site was unsuccessful and shut down in June 2013.With its eyes on India’s retail market, Flipkart acquired Lets buy, an online electronics retailer, in 2012, and Myntra, an online fashion retailer, for $280 million in May 2014. Myntra continues to operate alongside Flipkart as a standalone subsidiary focusing on separate market segments. In April 2015, Flipkart acquired App iterate, a Delhi-based mobile marketing automation firm. Flipkart stated that it would use Appiterate’s technology to enhance its mobile services. In December 2015, Flipkart purchased a minority stake in the digital mapping provider Map my India. In 2016, Flipkart acquired the online fashion retailer Jabong.com from Rocket Internet for $70 million and the UPI mobile payments startup PhonePe. In January 2017, Flipkart made a $2 million investment in Tiny Step, a parenting information startup.Flipkart invested $35 million in Arvind Fashions Limited’s newly formed subsidiary Arvind Youth Brands for a 27% stake in the company. Arvind Youth Brands owns Flying Machine.Flipkart Wholesale recently launched a digital platform for kiranas and MSMEs.In October 2020, Flipkart acquired a 7.8% stake in Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail for $204 million

Partnerships

In April 2017, eBay announced that it would sell its Indian subsidiary, eBay.in, to Flipkart and invest $500 million in the company. While eBay suggested that the partnership would eventually allow Flipkart to access eBay’s network of international vendors, these plans never actually came to fruition. In July 2017, Flipkart made an offer to acquire its main domestic competitor, Snapdeal, for $700–800 million. It was rejected by Snapdeal, which was seeking at least $1 billion.[38]In August 2019, Flipkart entered into a partnership with Authentic Brands to license and distribute Nautica in India.Flipkart invested $4 million in the customer engagement and rewards platform EasyRewardz on 19 November 2019.

Mobile retailing

In February 2014, Flipkart partnered with Motorola Mobility to be the exclusive Indian retailer of its Moto G smartphone.Motorola also partnered with Flipkart on the Moto E, a phone targeted primarily towards emerging markets such as India. High demand for the phone following its midnight launch on 14 May caused the Flipkart website to crash. Flipkart subsequently held exclusive Indian launches for other smartphones, including the Xiaomi Mi 3 in July 2014 (whose initial release of 10,000 devices sold out in around 5 seconds),the Redmi 1S and Redmi Note in late 2014, and Micromax’s Yu Yunique 2 in 2017. Flipkart held a 51% share of all Indian smartphone shipments in 2017, overtaking Amazon India (33%).On 6 October 2014, in honor of the company’s anniversary and the Diwali season, Flipkart held a major sale that it promoted as “Big Billion Day”. The event generated a surge of traffic, selling $100 million worth of goods in 10 hours. The event received criticism via social media over technical issues the site experienced during the event and stock shortages.In October 2015, Flipkart reprised the Big Billion Day event as a multi-day event exclusive to the Flipkart app. Flipkart bolstered its supply chain and introduced more fulfillment centers to meet customer demand. Flipkart achieved a gross merchandise volume of $300 million during the event, with the largest volumes coming from fashion sales and the largest value coming from mobiles. In 2017, Flipkart sold 1.3 million phones in 20 hours on 21 September in its Big Billion Days promotion, doubling the number sold on the first day of the same event in 2016.In March 2015, Flipkart blocked access to its website on mobile devices and began requiring that users download the site’s mobile app instead. The following month, Myntra went further and discontinued its website on all platforms, operating exclusively through its app. The “app-only” model, however, proved to be unsuccessful for Myntra, reducing its sales by 10%, and its main website was reinstated in February 2016. The experiment with Myntra led to rumors that Flipkart itself would perform a similar move, but the company did not follow suit. In November 2015, Flipkart launched a new mobile website branded as “Flipkart Lite” that provides an experience inspired by Flipkart’s app and runs in smartphone web browsers.

5 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Co-Working Space for Your Digital Marketing Agency
Coworking is becoming an increasingly popular option for those working in digital marketing. It is flexible, cost-effective and promotes creativity by allowing people to collaborate with like-minded professionals. However, choosing a coworking space is easier said than done. With thousands of spaces opening up around the world, choices can become overwhelming.

This is especially true when it comes to finding a space that encourages creativity, productivity and offers staff a sense of professional fulfillment. If you are exploring options for coworking, here are some factors worth considering.

Location
Where your office is based will have significant impacts on your business. For example, being situated in a central neighborhood will be convenient for clients. Easy access to transport routes and parking availability will also be a big plus as far as workers are concerned. You may also want to consider amenities in the surrounding area such as coffee shops, bars, parks, and supermarkets that can all improve the experience for employees.

Coworking Culture and Community
Coworking spaces are designed to foster a sense of community. Being surrounded by like-minded creatives and entrepreneurs is one of the major benefits of this office option. Socializing with others from the coworking space is important in terms of alleviating loneliness, especially for freelancers or anyone working in a small team. Some coworking spaces formally organize events for their residents so consider this when choosing a space.
The Environment
While the idea of working from coffee shops is nice, it can often be distracting. Coworking spaces tend to be more distraction-free, but aren’t perfect. Some spaces may have an open plan with teams collaborating on joint projects, which could be problematic if you require relative silence to get your work done. You’ll also want to consider the type of equipment provided by the space. For example, some places offer ergonomic chairs and standing desks, while others have bean bags and pool tables. You’ll need to visit a space to figure out what is best for your team’s needs.

Facilities
Would a dedicated room for taking client calls be beneficial? Is free coffee a must for your staff? In addition to the environment itself, you should consider other amenities that will help maximize productivity. Internet connections are a basic requirement, but you should also consider whether you need access to printers, scanners or projectors.

Budget
Finally, you’ll need to consider the bottom line. How much will membership fees cost? Take a close look at companies such as Novel Coworking that offer a range of packages that can provide expansive workspace that can be tailored to meet the needs of your company as it grows.

Coworking is growing in popularity and more facilities are popping up as a result. It is important for you to prioritize what your digital marketing team needs from the space and use these priorities to guide your decision. Finding the right environment for your business needs everything so be willing to put in the effort into your search. Making a good choice will pay off well for your staff.

3 TIPS FOR USING AFFILIATE MARKETING SUCCESSFULLY:

As a small business, you may think that you have limited resources to promote your products and services, but you’re wrong! There are various cost-effective and impactful marketing strategies you can use to elevate your brand, grow your customer base, and increase your sales!

For Starters, What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a mutual agreement where a Business – typically an online retailer – pays a commission to an external party (typically an influencer) to generate sales and traffic for them. The process is pretty straightforward, you pitch your product to influencers and bloggers that have a large following of your target customer base, provide them with their own unique link to your website or products and invite them to share that link for a chance to earn a commission on all sales generated from their private affiliate link.

 

Affiliate marketing is a great revenue-generating tactic used by all types of Businesses to drive sales and traffic. A good affiliate strategy can be a great boost to any brand’s digital marketing efforts.

How to Get the Most Out of Affiliate Marketing:

Among the many options and tools available today, affiliate marketing remains one of the best tried-and-trusted ways of marketing your brand and growing your business. Below are only a few of the many benefits you can enjoy by investing in affiliated marketing.

Raise Brand Awareness:

There’s no better and faster way of getting recognized by many potential buyers than through affiliate marketing! The affiliates you work with can help you increase brand awareness and widen your reach.

 

Since affiliates receive a share of your revenue, you can rest assured that they will be loyal brand advocates who will make an effort to introduce your brand to countless prospects, generate leads, and build trust among your target audience.

Reach a Targeted Audience:

Identifying your target audience is one thing, but figuring out how to reach them is a whole other matter. One of the biggest challenges you ever have to face is effectively reaching your target audience—if you can’t convey your message to the right people, then all of your efforts would go to waste!

 

Understanding and learning about your audience aren’t enough; you’ll need to develop a strategy based on that information to promote your brand effectively. Connecting to your target audience is much like any other relationship, where you’ll need to put in enough work and time to form a genuine and meaningful bond with them.

 

If you want to connect with your target audience, why not do it through affiliate marketing? By working with affiliates who resonate with your brand and have the right audience, you can be sure that your marketing efforts will reach those most likely interested in your products or services.

Cost-Effective:

Nothing is more frightening than ad waste! Unfortunately, the amount of time and money you’ve invested in a marketing campaign won’t guarantee its success. There will always be a chance that you may fail to reach your target and objectives. While this is true, this doesn’t mean that you’ll have to lose your precious money to nothing!

 

Through affiliate marketing, you can still promote your brand, products, and services without worrying about wasting money. If you’ve been looking for a low-risk, sure-fire way of acquiring new customers, then affiliate marketing may be for you!

 

Unlike other marketing strategies, affiliate marketing costs much less! Since the affiliate program is entirely performance-based, affiliates will only be paid a commission once a customer has completed the desired action. Paying based on conversions ensures that you don’t waste your money on things that turn out to have no value.

Scale Traffic and Sales:

Website traffic is essential to gaining potential customers and increasing quantifiable leads. When more people see your site, you will have more opportunities to appeal to your target audience and eventually get them to buy. However, gaining traffic is easier said than done. Getting people to your site is perhaps one of the most challenging parts of the process—so, how do you get them to click?

Your affiliates can significantly help in scaling traffic to your site faster! The more sites that link to your pages, the higher the chances of your target audience visiting your website and learning about your products and services. With increased referral traffic, your organic traffic will also be given a boost.

Conclusion:

With many businesses moving online, affiliate marketing has become a key marketing avenue for many companies. With the digital world continuing to grow, it’s now more important than ever to build your brand and reach your audience through affiliate marketing! As long as you follow the proper steps you will be on your way to a successful Affiliate Marketing campaign.

How to Become an IAS Officer?

To become an IAS officer, you must clear the civil services exam conducted by the UPSC. This is one of the toughest exams in India, although not impossible to crack. The civil services exam has three stages, each stage eliminating candidates who do not clear it.

The examination process usually starts in February, details of which are provided in the IAS Notification.

Starting with about 5 lakh candidates in the first round, only about 700 – 1000 are left at the end of the final game, which is the interview. Among those, only about a hundred can get the post of the IAS!

IAS Officer Training

Candidates who successfully clear the UPSC IAS Exam get the first taste of life as an IAS officer as soon as they join the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) for initial training.

The day-to-day life of an IAS officer during training is very disciplined and starts at 6 am sharp.

The following is the schedule usually followed at LBSNAA:

• 6 am: Morning exercise/horse riding training for 60 minutes
• 7 am to 9 am: Free time for morning activities
• 9:30 am onwards: 8-10 hours of academic activity, including lectures, sports, and extracurricular activities.

Officer trainees are left free before and after dinner to socialize and prepare for the next day. Outdoor activities such as treks to nearby rural areas to learn to cope with adversity and understand the lifestyle of rural India are an integral part of the training.

The training of IAS officers also includes Bharat Darshan (a study tour of India). Read more on the IAS Officer Training here.

Once a trainee graduates as an IAS officer, their schedule changes according to their allotted post.

A typical day for an officer posted in the field would begin at 9 am and would involve:

Going through various daily reports.

Supervising various daily tasks of the department or district.

These activities can stretch into the late evening and usually end by about 9 pm.

During emergencies such as natural disasters, riots, etc., an IAS officer might put in continuous work coordinating response and relief teams well beyond regular duty hours. (source. byjus)

1. Sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are so brilliantly orange, thanks to their alpha and beta carotene. The body converts these compounds into the active form of vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes, bones, and immune system healthy. These phytochemicals also operate as antioxidants, sweeping up disease-promoting free radicals. One medium sweet potato-or about 1/2 cup-provides nearly four times the recommended daily value of vitamin A, plus some vitamin C and B6, potassium, manganese and lutein, and zeaxanthin.

2. Broccoli

This green powerhouse packs vitamins A, C, and K (which helps with bone health), as well as folate. There is another reason broccoli frequently earns a top spot on “superfoods” lists: it delivers a healthy dose of sulforaphane, a type of isothiocyanate that is thought to thwart cancer by helping to stimulate the body’s detoxifying enzymes.

3. Oats

Oats are a breakfast staple and quite the superfood. Eating more oats is an easy way to up your fiber intake, a nutrient most of us don’t get enough of. Fiber is good for our guts and waistlines and keeps us full-all essential qualities in breakfast food. Plus, oats are whole grain, and plain oats don’t have any added sugar. So for a superfood meal or snack, start with plain oats and turn them into healthy meals and snacks like blueberry oatcakes, homemade granola to enjoy fruit and yogurt, or DIY energy bites with peanut butter.

4. Nuts

What can’t nuts do? They’re packed with healthy polyunsaturated fats and magnesium, two essential nutrients for heart health. These nutrients may also ­offer protection against insulin resistance, which can lead to ­diabetes. In addition, antioxidant compounds found in nuts, including ellagic acid and resveratrol, can reduce the wear and tear on your body from free radicals. In turn, this lowers inflammation, which may reduce cancer risk. Plus, nuts provide insoluble fiber, which studies suggest may help you stay healthy by feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Spread nut butter on toast, grab a handful of nuts for a snack, or make your simple trail mix.

5. Yogurt

Yogurt contains probiotics or “good bacteria” that help keep our guts healthy. It’s also rich in calcium. Just 1 cup of yogurt provides nearly half the recommended daily value of calcium and delivers phosphorus, potassium, zinc, riboflavin, vitamin B12, and protein. Choose Greek yogurt for an even more considerable protein boost, and whenever possible, reach for plain. Flavored yogurts tend to have lots of added sugar which adds calories without nutrition.
