Gunjan ChaudharyMay 7, 20220

News of the economic crisis in Sri Lanka has sparked a new debate against freebies in the country. The Sri Lankan government had taken steps such as cutting taxes for all and distributing various free goods and services.

Pooja YadavMay 7, 20220

Rural India it won't be wrong to say that it is a home to 65% of the population residing in india, is ravaged and devastated by COVID-19 like no other region.

How Corruption Has Weakened, Damaged Local Governing Bodies

Pooja YadavMay 6, 20220

Corruption could be a long-standing social issue persistent in India. From reportedly 51% of respondents from a survey admitted to paying bribes, to large industries like telecommunications and coal showing signs of corruption, for the economic benefits of citizens or corporations, corrupt practices are used. All the way back to post-independence India in 1951, the Industries Act required all operations to receive a license from the govt, which limited investments from foreign countries likewise as stifling competition, and ultimately led to bribery in politics being ubiquitous. While the Anticorruption Bureau of India was created in 1961 for the only purpose of fighting corruption, it still persists all throughout the country well into the 21st century. While there are many s...

Women Don’t Get Similar Education As Men In Bihar: Why State’s Education System Failed To Serve Its Purpose?

Pooja YadavMay 6, 20220

In Bihar, education seems to be improving. The literacy rate has gone up from 47% to 61.8% in keeping with the 2001 and 2011 censuses, an enormous improvement from what it had been before. There are now fewer dropouts. There are more institutions for pedagogy. However, while there's a rise, a problem is often found when examined deeply. Women aren't getting the identical quality education that men are in Bihar. While the rise in literacy is sweet, there's a divide between men and girls. In Bihar, 71.20% of men are literate whereas only 51.5% of ladies are literate. there's a 20% margin between the 2 genders and this brings questions regarding the education system in Bihar and its equality, especially because Bihar is near the underside when it involves female literacy rates.

Pooja YadavMay 4, 20220

Water is what sustains and supports life altogether and allows humans to prosper in life. In the absence of this natural gift and precious valuable resource, people begin to suffer. If we talk about India, 88 million people in the country lack access to safe drinking water. Many in India face droughts and are suffering. The explanation for this may be agriculture and therefore the government’s lack of action. Agriculture may be a big way that almost all people in India survive. Rice is more grown and requires more water. because it gets hotter and warmer, water begins to evaporate, requiring more water to grow. Rice is so water-demanding and other plants would offer food while needing less water, which brings into question why they grow rice. the solution happens to be money. ...
