Rural Economy: A Potential Sector Needs Urgent Revival

Pooja YadavAugust 8, 20220

The COVID pandemic has resulted in one of the worst financial conditions. Manufacturing units are closed up, demand has plummeted, and job losses are seen across the sectors. The Union Finance Ministry has estimated that GDP will shrink 4.5 percent within the current year. However, hope has arisen from rural India as the agriculture sector seems to possess been relatively less stricken by the pandemic and consequent lockdown. Rural India never really went into a severe lockdown and thus harvested, procurement and consumer activity have remained more or less identical. Thus while GDP will decline, a rate of growth of two.5 percent is projected for agriculture this yr. In 2019-20 agriculture grew by 4% due to record production of food grains supported by good rains and a recovery in price...

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 6, 20220

This weekend, a US drone strike in Afghanistan killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, who helped Osama bin Laden plan September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and helped al-Qaida survive and flourish in the years afterwards. On Monday, Vice President Joe Biden revealed that al-Zawahiri had been killed in Yemen, a landmark counterterrorism victory barely 11 months after American soldiers departed the nation.

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 5, 20220

Mark Twain stated want of money causes all evil. India's defence budget confirms this. The chronic lack of money for defence also fuels budgetary issues. These modifications may address Twainian evil, say many observers. They expect those adjustments will free up more spending money. It's unlikely. It's almost difficult to meet the military's demands without doubling the defence budget. Kin Hubbard said the easiest way to double your money is to fold it once and put it in your pocket.

Vikas DeshwalAugust 5, 20220

Haryana Opposition Congress leader's different enemies gave contemporary 'Chintan Shivir' a miss, showing his total power over the state department. At the Haryana Congress's day-long "Chintan Shivir" in Panchkula on Monday, more than the politicians current, those who were evident by their lack captured the concentration of political watchers. The state team, cut by endless infighting over the years, is currently in the full power of Congress Legislature Party (CLP) head and former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
