The Rate Of Poverty In Rural India Is Four Times That Of Cities: Survey

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 2, 20220

Three recent agency reports revealed national poverty shortcomings. Due to the pandemic, poverty levels in India have climbed again and progress has halted. India's GHI ranking has dropped further due to massive economic destruction. Rural poverty is four times higher than urban poor, worsening the problem. Ignoring such a severe situation is risky for a government. The pandemic and Ukraine conflict have added 70 million people to extreme poverty, according to the World Bank's "Poverty and Shared Prosperity" study. India was hardest hit, losing roughly 25% of its GDP. Early estimates show 56 million more poor in 2020. This shows that government welfare programmes like the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee and free food have not offset the significant loss of livelih...

Quota In Universities: In Contrast To US, Affirmative Action Has Become An Overused Political Instrument

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 31, 20220

This morning, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments on the question of whether or not race can be used as a consideration in college admissions. The challengers argue that this hurts Asian and white students while the defenders point to the educational benefits of a more diverse student body. In 1978, the court had already determined that racial quotas were illegal, but it had approved measures of "affirmative action" to admit more people from underrepresented groups. This instance demonstrates how several marginalised groups may pursue divergent goals. It's also fascinating since it'll be considered by the most diverse US Supreme Court ever, with the two black justices having opposing opinions. Serious statistical, philosophical, and policy disputes...

BJP, KCR’s Party Are Two Sides Of Same Coin, Says Rahul Gandhi: Read On To Know More!!!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALOctober 28, 20220

According to Rahul Gandhi, the NDA administration at the Center used to introduce measures that the TRS would support in the Parliament. Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the Congress, claimed on Thursday that the BJP and the TRS, which is now in power in Telangana, are two sides of the same coin and that both organisations oppose democratic principles. After taking a four-day vacation for Diwali, Mr. Gandhi resumed his Bharat Jodo Yatra and claimed that the TRS had previously supported the measures that the NDA government at the Centre had filed for consideration by Parliament. "The TRS extended full support to the Centre's three anti-farmer laws," he said, addressing a gathering at Gunmukla, Marrikal in Narayanpet district this evening. He stated that although Congress had submitte

SHIVANI UJJAINWALOctober 28, 20220

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, issued a letter on Thursday asking for the addition of pictures of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha on banknotes, one day after making an appeal to Prime Minister Modi. Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, issued a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday pleading with him to allow the depictions of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha on banknotes on behalf of 130 crore Indians. “I have written a letter to the Prime Minister, and have requested him on behalf of 130 crore Indians that the Indian currency notes should have photos of Lakshmi and Ganesha apart from that of Mahatma Gandhi,” Arvind Kejriwal stated in a tweet in Hindi. मैंने प्रधानमंत्री जी को पत्र लिखकर 130 करोड़ भारतवासियों की ओर से निवेदन किया है कि भारतीय

Does Kejriwal Oppose Hinduism Or Is He A Financial Genius In Modi’s Mould?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 27, 20220

In 2016, Modi intended to withdraw 80% of the currency notes in circulation, which was the last time India experienced a ridiculous proposal concerning money. With his completely cynical and strange claim that the Indian economy can be made to grow if the pictures of Laxmi and Ganesh are put to bank notes, Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party has sunk to a new low in the race to the bottom that increasingly appears to characterise Indian politics. BJP spokespeople have told the public that Kejriwal is truly "anti-Hindu" because this nonsensical assertion, given in the shape of a proposal, is designed to upset and humiliate the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which feels it alone has the right to flaunt "Hindu" credentials. The arguments put out in support of this claim are very c...

Governor-State Disputes Are Most Detrimental To Institutions; Read Here

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 27, 20220

In order to resolve the dispute between the Kerala government and governor Arif Mohammed Khan, the Kerala high court had to step in and block Khan's effort to fire the vice-chancellors of nine state institutions. Khan has yet to sign a law that would limit the governor's authority as chancellor of public colleges. The legislatures of Bengal and TN have already enacted laws that would have made chief ministers, rather than governors, the official chancellors of their respective states. Political interference in academic institutions is central to the problem. When a compliant governor is in charge, there are no issues. This spoils system has been thrown off by aggressive governors appointed by opposing parties, such as Jagdeep Dhankhar in Bengal, RN Ravi in Tamil Nadu, and Khan in Ke...

Indian Rupee Depreciated Or Dollar Appreciated?: An Analysis

Pooja YadavOctober 21, 20220

The finance minister was recently lambasted by opposition parties for saying in the United States that the strengthening of the dollar was to blame for the rupee's decline in value. The US economy is performing better than other economies at a fundamental level. The American employment market has done exceptionally well, and sectors like services have remained resilient despite very high rates of inflation. This has boosted market confidence and allayed worries about things like a decline in the housing market. The value of the Indian rupee to the US dollar is determined by supply and demand. The value of the Indian rupee decreases when demand for US dollars increases and vice versa which is a very basic concept of economics. The demand for the dollar will be larger than th

Polio Emergency US: Should It Worry India?; Read Here!

Pooja YadavOctober 21, 20220

When poliovirus was found in wastewater samples from three counties earlier in September, New York declared a State disaster emergency. This year, the environmental surveillance of sewage samples from Kolkata in India revealed the presence of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV), however, the Health Ministry noted that this might happen in any nation where oral polio vaccinations (OPVs) are administered. The Global Polio Eradication Drive has now identified 30 nations where either imported wild or vaccine-derived poliovirus or circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) has been detected. The United States is now included on this list. Israel, Ukraine, Nigeria, and Egypt are among the other countries on the list. Since polio is still prevalent in Afghanistan and Pakistan, those two nati...

Collegium And Issue With Court Proceedings: Questions On Mechanism Of Judiciary

Pooja YadavOctober 20, 20220

Justice UU Lalit, when suggested Justice D Chandrachud as his replacement when the mechanism intended for the collegium of the Supreme Court and described in the 1999 Memorandum of Procedure, was put into motion by the present Chief Justice of India (CJI). Because of this, the institution of the "collegium" system, which controls nominations in the higher judiciary, has once again gained attention. The term 'Collegium' refers to a system for the appointment and transfer of judges within India's higher courts that was created as a result of Supreme Court (SC) rulings rather than a statute approved by Parliament or a provision in the Constitution. The collegium has frequently been referred to as an extra-constitutional or unconstitutional group that was established as a result of Sup...

Malnourishment Among Indian Women: A Challenge At Hand After 75 Years Of Independence

Pooja YadavOctober 20, 20220

Among developing nations, India has one of the highest rates of malnourished adult women. Add to it the fact that many new mothers in India are adolescents, 75% of whom are anaemic, and that most gain less weight during pregnancy than is healthy (5 kilograms on average compared to the global average of close to 10 kilograms). Food is not a choice. Eating nutritious meals is essential for survival and growth. The right to food is an essential component of the right to life. Given that 1 in 4 Indian women of reproductive age are underweight, the denial of their right to food frequently has at its root the glaring lack of gender parity. Women and girls live under incredibly harmful gender-based social norms every day, which frequently results in them "eating last, eating last, and eati...

Are Political Parties In Maharashtra Treating Voters Fairly?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 19, 20220

The BJP has pulled their candidate from the upcoming by-election in Andheri, Maharashtra. It's the first major election in the state since the MVA administration fell because to infighting within the Shiv Sena. As a result of the BJP's vote, the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena's nominee, Rutuja Latke, is virtually certain of victory. Ramesh Latke, the victor of the last election, has passed away, necessitating a by-election. BJP withdrew their candidate after being publicly lobbied by rival political parties to do so. The reason for this is that it is the political custom in Maharashtra to provide uncontested victories to the surviving relatives of candidates who have passed away. There is a catch here. Among the lawmakers that asked the BJP to withdraw its candidate was Sh...
