APMCs Act Bypasses Mandi System: How Important Is Its Current Structure?

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

It is also important to recognise that Indian agri-produce markets are decentralised and dynamic. It is contested that the APMCs in some States are inefficient and ridden with corruption and malpractices. Should we abandon the present structures or should we reform the APMC markets? The decision to try to do away with the APMC regime on grounds of inefficiency and monopsony is comparable to the argument against practicing democracy. Should we surrender democracy or federalism because it's not working smoothly? If self-reliance is the purpose of those reforms, should it be achieved through corporates or through people’s agencies like APMCs and FPOs? The way forward is to either leave the intra-State Agri marketing reforms to the States within the spirit of co-operative federal...

‘Dummy Cars, Government On Dialysis Don’t Persist For Long’: Union Minister On Maharashtra Government Collapse

Alankrati VermaJune 27, 20220

Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi stated on Thursday that ‘dummy cars and a government on dialysis do not persist for very long'. He said so because of the political situation in Maharashtra, where the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government is struggling to hold on to power. Naqvi spoke with the media after casting his vote in the Rampur Lok Sabha by-election about this situation. During the talk, on a question about what will emerge in Maharashtra, he used the renowned "Mughal-e-Azam" song's famous couplet, "Jab raat hai aisi matwali to subah ka alam kya hoga." After the revolt of several Shiv Sena members, the survival of the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government in Maharashtra is in doubt. Moreover, Abbas Naqvi stated that BJP has made all necessary preparation

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

Behavioral issues are currently on the increase as detentions and suspensions are mounting everywhere in the country. If we think of an example of a behavioral issue, it can be using your phone without permission. This shows that some students are getting down to become keen on their phones and tablets. this is not good because if students are obsessed with their electronics they are not visiting study reception and as a result, their grades will drop. Another behavioral issue immediately is cheating. When kids were virtual, many kids took advantage of not fixing effort and told their parents to try to to their work for them or cheated because there was no way for the teacher to grasp if you had another tab open employing a calculator or an out of doors resource. Now that we are ...

Water Rights To Women: Unbiased, Accurate Research Would Induce Gender Sensitivity

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

Agriculture in India is becoming increasingly reliant upon groundwater and irrigation to extend production amid unpredictable rainfall patterns. only if women are answerable for producing the maximum amount of 80% of food, water rights are tantamount to women’s rights. With some 100 million women working in agriculture, India’s food security depends on ensuring that these women have equitable, consistent and convenient access to water that doesn't reinforce or generate new prejudices and downsides. as an example, women and girls spend an estimated four hours on a daily basis fetching water— time that might be spent on higher-value activities, including education and agribusiness. Initiatives and projects designed to enhance water access and security to extend agricultural product...

Policy On Personal Choice: Analysing United State’s Future With Anti-Abortion Law

Sapna SinghJune 27, 20220

Following the Supreme Court's decision to legalise abortion in the United States, the focus is now on efforts to limit the availability of 'abortion pills' in many states. The Supreme Court overturned a 1973 decision known as Roe and Wade. After the enactment of anti-abortion law, millions of women in the US will lose the constitutional right to abortion. Abortion pills called Mifepristone and Misoprostol are commonly used in the United States. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of these pills. These pills are used during the first ten weeks of pregnancy. These pills are also available for purchase online. Measures to prevent the delivery of these pills are now being considered in US states that have banned abortion. Why is the Protest happening in America?

Development In Dumps: Sewage Testing Still A Challenge Amid Technological Advancements

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

Testing within the Indian context is incredibly challenging as sewage systems are fragmented. Only a third of all towns have any style of sewers, either underground or open drains, in line with the 2011 Census. The remainder of the population is served by on-site sanitation, including septic tanks. Testing these is problematic and can be possible as long as there's a scientific process of emptying and treating faecal sludge. Most of the time, sewers and septic tanks are cleaned manually exposing men to a different potential pathogen, although the virus in sewage is alleged to be non-infectious. The large population of cities complicates the prediction of infections supported sewage testing as these individuals could use toilets in their offices or public toilets. Therefore, if virus ...

Inflation Problem In Developing Countries Taken Serious Form; Check Out Causes, Remedies

Sapna SinghJune 27, 20220

Inflation and high prices of products are two of the world's major issues. When compared to developed countries, the problem of inflation has taken on a more serious form in developing countries such as India. When the government's administrative expenditure exceeds its income, it spends by printing more notes. As a result, money expands while its value decreases. This is referred to as inflation. While the rate of inflation in developed countries is two or three percent, the rate of inflation in developing countries is not in the single digits. As a result, inflation is being ripped apart like a monstrous beast. The world economy is still dealing with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, new challenges have emerged in recent times, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which h...

Maharashtra Diary: It’s Time To Dispel ‘Magic Number’, ‘Anti-Defection’ Misconceptions

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 27, 20220

A solution to the Shiv Sena's dissidence dilemma has yet to be found. Opposition lawmakers in the state and TV anchors parked outside the Radisson Blu hotel in Guwahati are ecstatic over the growing number of dissidents. However, amid all this drama, most politicians and the media have shattered the weak anti-defection rule, resulting in a great deal of uncertainty. Everyone is talking about the number 37 like it's some kind of mystical potion. It is assumed that the dissident group of Eknath Shinde may avoid disqualification if it can get the support of at least 37 MLAs, or two-thirds of the party's 55 lawmakers. When it comes to the initial legislation on defection, the Constitution's 10th Schedule, most individuals conveniently forget about things they should have known about. Def...

Draupadi Murmu: A Name Larger Than ‘First Santhal Woman President’ Tag

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 27, 20220

Droupadi Murmu's nomination as the future President of India was swiftly made by Amul. 'Setting a President?' says the cartoon. MurMaska on toast is a must-try. As a wordsmith, Amul thrives on this kind of play on words. However, it also raises an interesting inquiry about the topic in issue. Is Droupadi Murmu's historic role as India's first tribal woman President at danger of overshadowing her other accomplishments? There were immediate reports in the media regarding her political astuteness, the Adivasi role in Hindutva politics, and if she would be a rubber stamp president as soon as her identity was made public. In light of the fact that Chhattisgarh is one of the few remaining states in the Congress's belt with a big tribal population, the party must decide whether it is pr...

Political Sugarcoating Of India: A Sweet Truth Too Bitter To Bare 

Agamapar ChadhaJune 25, 20220

Consuming something sweet is considered a good luck charm among Indians before they take on any tumultuous challenge. However, an estimated 77 million diabetics and 700,000 deaths due to diabetes leave a terrible aftertaste of the sweets consumed. Many media reports have claimed India is the 'Diabetes Capital' of the world. On average, Indians consume 50g of sugar daily. Conversely, WHO recommends half of that -- 25g in one day. The perpetrator of such a medically chronic epidemic can be found in the politics of the sugar industry, and the free reign that is given to companies by politicians. This issue could be traced to pre-colonial India, where the industrialisation of white sugar (a nutrient less chemically induced sweetener) combined with tariffs in 1930 increased its productio...

US Supreme Court Rolls Back Abortion Rights: What Could Be Its Wide-Ranging Consequence?

Snehashish RoyJune 25, 20220

The Supreme Court in the United States has overturned the Americans' constitutional right to get an abortion in a ruling and upheld the abortion ban implemented in one of the States, Mississippi, after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The ruling cited the US constitution and said it does not guarantee abortion rights directly or through another rights. The ruling by the apex court in the country has laid out a precedent for grave consequences in days to come that may not be visible today. Although the court's decision isn't barring abortion across the US, it is, however, opening windows for arguments over the legality of abortion in state legislatures. Impediments to come following recent ruling Unlike earlier, States will now look for opportunities to prohibit or regulate abortion base...
