Education - A Weapon

“ Education is the key to unlocking the world, passport to freedom”                                                     Oprah Winfrey What separates humans from animals is the ability of humans to write, read, learn and teach . This centuries-old accrued knowledge is called “ education ”, which makes humans the smartest creatures on the planet earth.  The basic measurement for education is called the rate of ‘literacy’. The global adult literacy rate is 86%. 75%of the world’s illiterate population lives in South Asia,West Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Women account for two -  third so fall the illiterate adults of the world.The literacy rate of India is 77.7%(2017-18).

Education is the tool that helps us choose right from wrong, good from bad and ethical from unethical. A

Belated, but welcome

The unprecedented and mushroomed rise in the COVID-19 cases create a distress among the migrants for their livelihoods and going back to their residence is tremendously seen, But due to this migrants workers tried to go back their home, by paying fare, but they have not enough money as their source of earnings restrict, so migrants workers faces a lots of problems. But now the intervention of apex court to enforce the rights of vulnerables is an applauding move.
The government's relief policies has not reached to all the workers, this discomfort created between the government and the migrants is due to the lack.of proper communication. We all are responsible for this but media plays a vital role because the media has a responsibility of delivering information facilitated by the govt. There has been inadequacies and poor coordination on the part of the center and state in dealing with the crisis faced by workers,  one such example of this is that the cancellation of train on the last moment as they were not fully prepared with the quarantine facilities, it create a lots of anxiety and discomfort among the migrant, as they already pay fare. These are the areas probably for which the intervention of apex court is seen. 
Welcome steps- 
1. As we have seen a three judge bench of the Supreme Court has initiated to look into the problems.
2. SC may lay down guidelines for planning, coordination and establishment to make the situation better.
It is rightly said "Better late than never".

  The RBI has clearly sought to talk up confidence ignoring the risk of inflation. R BI's latest monetary policy is focused more on economy revival rather than increased inflation rate. This is an optimistic approach towards improving the economic conditions of the country. Since the pandemic hit the country, there has been a continuous downfall of economy due to long and strict lockdown that stopped all the work pausing financial activities across the country.
