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 .

Farm Gate

Without food we all die and to keep us survive with it, our farmers work hard everyday. So it is needed to payback them when they are undergoing huge loss due to this crisis. The Friday's tranche of announcement focused mainly on farm sector reforms which is applauding. Around rs 1 lakh crores Agriculture infrastructure fund was being announced to fund for farm gate infra for farmers.
From gate generally means a farmer can make the direct delivery to the companies or organizations even after a long storage of food. By it a farmer can escape of selling it to customers or markets at lesser rates.
Highlights of the reforms

  • Imputes for development of farm gate and aggregation point, affordable and financially visible post harvest Management infrastructure.
  • Rs. 10000cr Scheme for MICRO FOOD ENTERPRISES that will promote PM MODI's vision of "vocal for local with global outreach"
  • Cluster based approach in different regions on signatures produce.
  • Operation green will be extended.
  • Amendments of essential commodities Act to enable better price realization for farmers.
These reforms to enhance marketing freedom is a welcome step. Equality in the farmer's investment and return should definitely exists.
It's late but if these changes implemented properly then for sure it will give boost to the livelihoods of the farmers.

"A stich in time saves nine"

The farmers' associations from the nearby states abutting the border of the capital city,Delhi, have hunkered down near the Delhi border in a hope of getting their fears and uncertainties satiated and alleviated related to the new farm bill passed hastily by the centre. The farm law that existed prior to the centre's amending it had many loopholes that were going against the progress and development of the agriculture sector. The intention of the centre might be healthy but the way it has  dealt with it ,  made it face opposition from the farmers across the country due to the centre's lacking in addressing the misconceptions related to it that had lead to developing a sense of fear and precarity in the minds of the farmers that are undoubtedly the backbone of our Indian economy which at this juncture is battered due to ongoing Covid - 19 pandemic. To be breathe in new life to the agricultural sector and ultimately making the farmers self supportive who throughout these year...

SOCIAL MEDIA

  "Connectivity is a human right"... With a gigantic user base and a ubiquitous existence, the social media has become an inseparable part of the fabric of the Indian society. It has transformed the way we communicate in the online world. Ultra-fast internet connectivity, cheap data plans and universal access to smartphones for our youth have impacted Indian society in a unique way. As we know everything has its pros and cons, social media also have. Like a double-edged sword, social media is a boon for the democracy and business, on the other hand fake news, privacy concerns and online frauds tell a different tale. "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind..." Social media have empowered the users to voice their concerns against injustice and inequality as evident from the " Anna movement " to the campaigns like " Meetoo " and rights for "LGBT" and same-sex marriages. On the other hand, fake news has induced violent activities aga...

REALITY CHECK

As we all know the whole world is dealing with the pandemic..but in this dire strait our respected PM Mr.  N arendra Modi is dealing with this very well. No PM has had to face such a situation that has impacted every part of India and every aspect of life. If a family member is seriously ill we get shaken. Here, his 130 crore people are at risk. Some are saying lockdown should’ve been earlier. Some are saying Army should’ve been called. Some are saying intelligence failure while some say you appease. Everyone has retrospective opinions but NONE has to bear the responsibility of 130 cr people, Only he has to.. If the lockdown doesn’t succeed then he gets targeted. If it does, still he gets targeted because the economy is hit. If he didn’t call for a lockdown then he would’ve been hounded for lethargy even if it had kept the economy going. He is always at the receiving end. You call for a nation of 130 cr to stop work. For the poor to risk going without food. The rich cry their earni...
