*Why Do We Have Eyebrows* ?
Eyebrows keeps moisture out of our eyes and for making communication.
Ever notice how your eyebrow hairs grow outward, toward the sides of your face? That helps direct any moisture away from your eyes toward the side of your head. Eyebrows can also reduce the amount of light that gets into your eyes and keep dirt away from them, too. They help us express emotions and recognize each other. Eyebrows are an important part of human expression and communication. They allow us to show our emotions. One raised eyebrow expresses skepticism or interest. Two raised eyebrows can express surprise.
Beyond looks and emotions, eyebrows are also more generally important for facial recognition. In one older 2003 study scientists asked a group of people to identify the faces of fifty famous people, such as former U.S. president Richard Nixon and actress Winona Ryder. The scientists manipulated the photos so that they’d either have no eyes or no eyebrows. Subjects could still identify the famous faces 60 % of the time when they lacked eyes.
But when the faces lacked eyebrows, subjects could identify them just 46 % of the time. Scientists said this indicates that eyebrows are just as important as — or maybe more important than — eyes in allowing us to recognize faces.

*How does snow form?*
Snow forms when tiny ice crystals in clouds stick together to become snowflakes. If enough crystals stick together, they'll become heavy enough to fall to the ground. Snowflakes that descend through moist air that is slightly warmer than 0 °C will melt around the edges and stick together to produce big flakes. Snow is defined as *solid precipitation* Precipitation falls as snow when the air temperature is below 2 °C. It is a myth that it needs to be below zero to snow. In fact, in this country, the heaviest snowfalls tend to occur when the air temperature is between zero and 2 °C.

According to Indian philosophy, the chakras are considered the centres of spiritual power and energy within our bodies.
The word chakra literally means "wheel" in Sanskrit and symbolises the flow of energy in our body. The 7 chakras present in your body are actually energy centres and are known to regulate emotions.
Fundamentally, any spiritual path can be described as a journey from the base chakra, called the "Mooladhara," which is located at the base of the spine, to the "Sahasrar," which located at the top of the head. This journey of movement from the Mooladhara to Sahasrar is from one dimension to another. It may happen in many different ways, and various yogic practices can effect this movement.
*Muladhara* Chakra - Root Centre
*Svadhishthana* Chakra - Lower Abdominal Centre
*Manipura* Chakra - Navel Centre
*Anahata* Chakra - Heart Centre
*Vishuddhi* Chakra - Throat Centre
*Agya* Chakra - Eyebrow Centre
*Sahasrara* Chakra - Crown Centre
The vibration and energy flow of the Chakras influence our consciousness and also our physical health. Incorrect food, bad company and negative thoughts reduce or block the energy of the Chakras, which may lead to disorders of consciousness and illness of the body.

Increasing Usage of Graphene in Solar Panels Drives the Market Growth for Global Graphene Market
Solar power is the energy accumulated in the solar panels by utilizing energy from the sun, which can then be converted into thermal or electrical energy as needed. Solar energy has the potential to be widely used to generate electricity and heat water for the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Natural resources are likely to be depleted in the coming years, creating a demand for renewable energy resources. Therefore, solar power is also known as the key to a clean energy future. Solar energy is abundant in nature and is a renewable source. Due to the above-mentioned factors, companies are heavenly investing in solar panels and solar plants.
According to the Ocean University of China, graphene-based solar cells can harvest energy from raindrops that land on the panel by utilizing the various salts found in the liquid. Solar panels made from stacking graphene sheets can separate extra charges and salt currents in rainwater, allowing them to be used effectively in generating electricity during the rainy season. Furthermore, solar cells necessitate the use of materials such as Graphene that are capable of conducting electricity. This is a primary factor driving the growth of the graphene market.
Furthermore, rising government initiatives to install solar panels are also driving the global graphene market. For example, several schemes launched by the Indian government aim to install solar panels across the country in order to increase India's solar capacity. Some examples of such schemes are Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan Yojana (PM-KUSUM), CPSU (Government Producers) Scheme - Phase II, and Solar Rooftop Phase II program. Additionally, the Indian government has announced the installation of 100 GW of solar energy capacity by December 2022.

Surging Demand of Graphene in the Biomedical Field Driving the Market Growth
Graphene is widely used in biomedical applications due to its diverse physical and chemical properties. Graphene is a thin yet strong material that is used for making bioelectric sensors that measure glucose, cholesterol, and hemoglobin levels in the blood. High and low hemoglobin and cholesterol levels in the body can result in serious health problems such as heart attacks and heart diseases. Graphene sensors are widely used to detect early-stage cholesterol imbalances in the body. These graphene-sensitive sensors can detect minute traces of cholesterol in the body. These sensors are also useful for determining serum cholesterol levels. This is important because high levels of serum cholesterol increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. According to WHO, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes. High blood pressure, glucose, and lipid levels, as well as being overweight or obese, are all risk factors for CVD.
Additionally, graphene is used to check the analyses of different elements present in the body such as sodium, potassium, glucose, and others. Since graphene is present in biomedical products, it is possible to detect these elements in a clear and qualitative manner. For example, INBRAIN Neuroelectronics is a joint venture of two companies originating from graphene Flagship partners ICN2 and ICREA, Spain. Researchers and scientist at INBRAIN are working together to develop graphene-based implants which can track brain activity for the treatment of diseases such as Parkinson’s and epilepsy. They are developing smart devices based on an advanced graphene electrode that can interpret neural signals with high fidelity, allowing for a customized therapeutic response. INBRAIN has also received a first-seed investment from a group of investors in June 2020.
Composite Segment to be the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Market by Application
Based on application, the global graphene market is segmented into electrical & electronics, composites, energy, biomedical, and others. The composite segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the global graphene market by application. Composite materials are created by combining reinforcement (fiber) and matrix (resin). The fiber-matrix mixture outperforms either material alone in terms of properties. The fibers in a composite material bear the bulk of the loads and are the most important element in the material's properties. Graphite’s composite offers exceptional physical and chemical properties which are non-comparable to any other composite that exists. These lightweight, high-performance composites are used in the manufacture of aircraft, fighter jets, and racecars. The global aerospace industry's expansion has boosted the use of graphite composites in the production of aircraft and fighter jets.
In 2019, Boeing and Airbus together have produced more than 1,750 aircraft. Boeing and Airbus are the major stakeholders in the manufacturing of aircraft globally. The surging production of aircraft and increasing expenditure by governments of developed and developing nations in the field of aerospace and defense has positively fueled the market growth of the composite segment in the global graphene market.
Impact of COVID-19

Do follow @maharajnews for trending news New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his address to the nation today, said timely decisions and measures have played a great role in tackling coronavirus. "In comparison to other countries, India is still in a very stable situation, in the battle against COVID-19," said PM Modi. He also said that a key government scheme to distribute free food grains to 80 crore people, India's poorest, would be extended to November to give relief during the festival season as the country fights coronavirus. Here are the HIGHLIGHTS from PM Modi's speech: We are entering Unlock-2 while battling the Coronavirus. We are also now entering a season, where there will be lots of rain and hence we will be more prone to diseases. So, it is my appeal to you all to take necessary precautions. In comparison to other countries, India is still in a very stable situation, in the battle against COVID-19. Our death rate is under control. Timely decisions and measures have played a great role. People who are not following rules need to be stopped and made aware of the problems. Nobody is above rules in India, even if it's the leader of the nation. We notice that there has been a negligence by people in their social and personal behaviour. Like the way we used to meticulously wash hands, used sanitisers, wore masks, maintained social distancing and avoided shaking hands... we see that that is not happening as strictly anymore. That is a sign of worry. This is a serious matter, and we must ensure that we maintain the discipline. In the last few months, farmers have got a total of Rs 18,000 crore directly in their bank accounts, for migrants too, the PM Gareeb Kalyan Rozgar Yojana has been launched. About 80 crore people have also got 5 kg ration for free and 1 kg of dal (cereal) per month free of cost. #modi #india #bjp #narendramodi #amitshah #memes #delhi #congress #corona #indian #covid #lockdown #rahulgandhi #hindu #namo #coronavirus #politics #rss #instagram #news #mumbai #love #meme #modiji #coronavirus @samcj_95 (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCD1dhHnliR/?igshid=9az0acaqqv5o

15th Finance Commission holds meeting with its Advisory Council
About: The Advisory Council also felt that the magnitude of the impact of these developments on public finances is uncertain, but will certainly be significant. Governments will have substantial expenditure burden on account of health, support to poor and other economic agents. hey felt that the following considerations, inter alia, would be very important.  (a)      Small scale enterprises were cash-starved even prior to the onset of Covid. As their activity levels and cash flows are affected, it is important that a support mechanism be devised to help them overcome this problem.  (b)     Non-banking financial companies are also affected by the slowdown. In order to avoid bankruptcies and deepening of NPAs in the financial sector, measures should be appropriately designed. Measures like partial loan guarantee may help. The Reserve Bank of India will have a key role in ensuring that financial institutions are well-capitalized.  (c)      The finances of the Central and State Governments need to be watched carefully. As of now, adequate provision for ways and means advances can largely help governments to manage cash-flow mismatches. As we move ahead, we need to think of options for financing the additional deficit. It is important to ensure that the State governments get access to adequate funds to undertake their fight against the pandemic.  (d)     The Council also felt that it is likely that different States may come out of the severity of the impact of the pandemic in different stages. Hence, the revival of activity in different States will be at varied pace. Fifteenth Finance Commission along with its Advisory Council is keenly watching the evolving situation globally as well as domestically.

PM Says to become self-reliant and self-sufficient is the biggest lesson learnt from Corona pandemic: PM
Tumblr media
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi interacted with Sarpanchs of Gram Panchayats throughout the country today through Video Conferencing, on the occasion of National Panchayati Raj Day 2020. During this event he launched a unified e-GramSwaraj Portal and mobile application and Swamitva Scheme. The e-GramSwaraj helps prepare and execute Gram Panchayat Development Plans. The portal will ensure real time monitoring and accountability. The portal is a major step towards digitization down to the Gram Panchayat level. The Swamitva scheme which is launched in pilot mode in 6 states helps to map rural inhabited lands using drones and latest survey methods. The scheme will ensure streamlined planning, revenue collection and provide clarity over property rights in rural areas. This will open up avenues for applying for loans from financial institutions by the owners. Disputes related to property would also be settled through the title deeds allotted through this scheme. Addressing the Sarpanches all over the country, the Prime Minister said the Corona pandemic has changed the way people worked and taught a good lesson. He said the pandemic taught us that one has to be self-reliant always. “This Pandemic has thrown at us new challenges and problems which we have never imagined, but it also taught us a very good lesson with a strong message. It has taught us that we have to be self-reliant and self-sufficient. It has taught us that we should not look for solutions outside the country. This is the biggest lesson we have learnt.” “Every Village has to be self-sufficient enough to provide for its basic needs. Similarly every district has to be self-sufficient at its level, every state has to be self-reliant at its level and the whole country has to be self-reliant at its level”, he said. Shri Narendra Modi said that the Government worked hard in trying to provide self-sufficiency to villages and making the Gram Panchayats stronger. “In the last five years nearly 1.25 Lakh Panchayats have been connected through broadband from a mere 100 before. Similarly, the number of Common Service Centres had crossed 3 Lakhs”, he said. He said since mobile phones are being manufactured in India, the cost of smartphones has become cheaper and the low cost smartphones have reached every village and this would further strengthen the digital infrastructure at village level. The Prime Minister said the “Progress of Panchayats will ensure the development of the nation and democracy”. The occasion today was an opportunity to establish direct dialogue between the Prime Minister and the Gram Panchayat representatives. During his interaction with the sarpanchs PM complimented the villages for giving the mantra - 'Do gaj doori' to define social distancing in simpler terms. He said that the slogan of "Do gaj Deh ki doori" given by rural India showed the wisdom of the people. He appreciated the slogan, saying that it motivates people to practice social distancing. Prime Minister said that notwithstanding the limited resources at its disposal, India has taken the challenge proactively and showed its resolve to move forward with new energy and new ways. He said, “the collective power of the villages is helping the country move forward”. He stressed that amidst these efforts, we have to remember that the negligence of any one can endanger the whole village and therefore, there is no scope for relaxation. The Prime Minister urged the Sarpanch’s to work towards the Swachhata Campaign in the villages, to take care of the old, divyang and other needy in the villages, while ensuring quarantine, social distancing and covering the faces with masks. He urged the Sarpanches to provide correct information to every family on various aspects of COVID-19. Pioneer IAS Coaching institute in Bangalore He also appealed to people in rural India to download the Aarogya Setu app and asked Panchayat representatives to ensure that every person in their Panchayat downloads the app. The Prime Minister said that serious efforts are made to ensure that poor people of the village get the best healthcare. He said that Ayushman Bharat Yojana has emerged as a big relief for the poor of the village and nearly 1 crore poor patients have received free treatment in the hospital under this scheme. He urged the use of digital platforms such as e-NAM and GEM portal to reach out to larger markets for better prices for village produce. The Prime Minister interacted with Sarpanch’s from Jammu-Kashmir, Karnataka, Bihar, UP, Maharashtra, Punjab & Assam. Pioneer IAS Coaching institute in Bangalore He remembered Mahatma Gandhi's conception of Swaraj as being based on Gram Swaraj. Quoting the Shastras, he reminded the people that the source of all strength is unity. The Prime Minister wished the Sarpanches on Panchayati Raj Day and for defeating Corona with their collective efforts, solidarity and determination.

No, the government is not giving away Rs. 25,000 to everybody under PMAY
Tumblr media
A message is viral on WhatsApp, claiming that the Government of India, under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (PMAY) is giving Rs. 25,000 as per the 2020 budget. "सन् 2020 के नये बजट के अनुसार भारत के हर परिवार के किसी भी एक व्यक्ति को प्रधानमंत्री आवास योजना के तहत 25000 रु दिए जा रहे है, अगर आपके परिवार में से किसी ने भी इस योजना का लाभ नहीं उठाया है तो आप अभी नीचे लिंक पर क्लिक करके फॉर्म भरे और 25000 रु प्राप्त करे।" Translation: According to the new 2020 budget, one member from every Indian family can receive Rs. 25,000 under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (Prime Minister's Housing Scheme). If none of your family members have availed this scheme, you can do so by clicking on the link below and filling the form and receive Rs. 25,000.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
  Truth
  The link shared in the message, pmyojna.ssctechnical.com, is clearly fake. Official government of India websites end with .gov.in or just .in. There are two websites for the government's actual Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Scheme. https://pmay-urban.gov.in
Tumblr media
and https://pmaymis.gov.in
Tumblr media
The domain http://pmyojna.ssctechnical.com is one year and eight months old, which does not make sense if the scheme was only declared in the fiscal year 2020-2021. The domain searches further established that the website is not an official government webpage, as the registered name is 'ssctechnical.com'.
Tumblr media
  Analysis
When clicked, the link redirects the user to a page with the name of the scheme and a form that asks for the name, mobile number, address and the pin code of the applicant. Scrolling down reveals 'customer rating' and an image of PM Modi with his name misspelt as 'Narendr Nodi'. The page also says (like with the 'free mask' scam link) that the offer is valid only till April 30, 2020 and that 1,12,959 have availed the scheme so far. On the top of the page, a message reads "सूबेदार यादव ने आवास योयना के द्वारा 25000 रु प्राप्त किए|" (Subhedar Yadav got Rs. 25,000 under the Awaas Scheme.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The terms and conditions of the page reveal the fact that the page is designed as a prank.
Tumblr media
"इस ��ेबसाइट का उदेश केवल मजाक ( prank ) करना है आपके दोस्त ने इस वेबसाइट के जरिए आपको वेबकूफ बनाया है यहाँ कोई भी narendr modi awas yojna ऑफर नहीं चल रहा है अगर आप भी अपने दोस्तों को वेबकूफ बना कर मजाक करना चाहते हो तो इसे अपने दोस्तों को शेयर करे और इस वेबसाइट का उदेश किसी भी तरह से आपको मानसिक या साररिक रूप से हानि पहुंचना नहीं है और ना ही आपकी किसी भी जानकारी को लेकर उसका गलत उपयोग करना है और इस वेबसाइट में आपकी किसी भी जानकारी को सेव नहीं किया जा रहा है|" Translation: This website is designed as a prank, your friends have pranked you with this message. There is no offer for Narendr Modi Awas Yojna here and you can prank your friends too by sharing it. This website does not intend to cause any mental or physical harm to anyone and it does not save or misuse any of your personal information. When the form is filled and submitted, the next page asks the user to share the message on WhatsApp with at least 5 people. We found that the website accepts null responses i.e, the user need not actually send it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
   After clicking on 'Submit Now', the user receives a registration number that they're advised to note down and keep. When the dialogue box is closed, the user is redirected to a page which asks them to download a mobile application to keep track of their application.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scrolling down on that page gives the user a chance to view the privacy policy, disclaimer, terms and conditions, about us and an option to contact the relevant organisation. Clicking any of these (except Contact Us) generates a fresh registration number each time. Clicking on 'Contact Us' takes the user to a webpage with a fake form for the government's unemployment scheme, which has been debunked here.
Tumblr media
  If the user decides to download the recommended application, the page redirects the user to 'VideoBuddy' and clicking on 'Download now' opens multiple marketing pop-ups that do not lead to anything.
Tumblr media
  Therefore, this link is yet another telemarketing scam link circulated as a prank. Such kinds of messages are circulated widely and the creator mainly benefits in these ways: When the scam asks the applicant to share the link with multiple contacts on WhatsApp. Every applicant shares the messages at least 5 times in this case without a second thought, as they think there is nothing to lose by doing so. This leads to multiple people filling the form, and builds a database of mobile numbers for scammers, who sell personal data to third parties. The webpage hosts advertisements, under Google AdSense. The scam link gets money every time the page is visited (and not left in five seconds) and the number of times the advertisements are seen. This allows the host to make money while scamming people. Finally, when the page directs the applicant to the last VideoBuddy page and clicks on 'Download Now', the multiple pop-ups that open may install malware on the user's device, putting the user's device and personal data at risk. This is yet another WhatsApp scam, as explained in previous articles, such as: https://smhoaxslayer.com/no-pm-is-not-giving-out-free-masks-to-all-its-a-usual-telemarketing-whatsapp-scam/ https://smhoaxslayer.com/usual-whatsapp-scam-this-time-viral-in-the-name-of-tiktok/ https://smhoaxslayer.com/beware-many-old-whatsapp-scams-floating-around-under-new-names-and-offers/ https://smhoaxslayer.com/this-whatsapp-scam-is-not-getting-you-any-free-solar-panel/ https://smhoaxslayer.com/yet-another-whatsapp-scam-this-time-in-the-name-of-free-t-shirt-from-reliance-jio/ https://smhoaxslayer.com/yet-another-whatsapp-scam-this-time-in-the-name-paytm-cash/ https://smhoaxslayer.com/new-whatsapp-scam-this-time-in-the-name-of-amazon-online-mall/   Read the full article

Global Graphene Market is thriving Projected to Reach worth USD 1,834.2 Million by 2027
Global Graphene Market is thriving—Projected to Reach worth USD 1,834.2 Million by 2027
A study recently conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm, BlueWeave Consulting, revealed that the global graphene market was worth USD 610.3 million in 2020 and is further projected to reach USD 1,834.2 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 15.3% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The growth of the graphene market is primarily supported by the growing adoption of graphene in various applications such as electrical & electronics, composites, energy, and others. In addition, graphene is majorly adopted on multiple applications as graphene is considered the world's most robust material and is used to enhance the mechanical properties of other materials. The aforementioned are the key factors driving the growth for the graphene market globally.
Increasing Usage of Graphene in Solar Panels Drives the Market Growth for Global Graphene Market
Solar power is the energy accumulated in the solar panels by utilizing energy from the sun, which can then be converted into thermal or electrical energy as needed. Solar energy has the potential to be widely used to generate electricity and heat water for the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Natural resources are likely to be depleted in the coming years, creating a demand for renewable energy resources. Therefore, solar power is also known as the key to a clean energy future. Solar energy is abundant in nature and is a renewable source. Due to the above-mentioned factors, companies are heavenly investing in solar panels and solar plants.
According to the Ocean University of China, graphene-based solar cells can harvest energy from raindrops that land on the panel by utilizing the various salts found in the liquid. Solar panels made from stacking graphene sheets can separate extra charges and salt currents in rainwater, allowing them to be used effectively in generating electricity during the rainy season. Furthermore, solar cells necessitate the use of materials such as Graphene that are capable of conducting electricity. This is a primary factor driving the growth of the graphene market.
Furthermore, rising government initiatives to install solar panels are also driving the global graphene market. For example, several schemes launched by the Indian government aim to install solar panels across the country in order to increase India's solar capacity. Some examples of such schemes are Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan Yojana (PM-KUSUM), CPSU (Government Producers) Scheme - Phase II, and Solar Rooftop Phase II program. Additionally, the Indian government has announced the installation of 100 GW of solar energy capacity by December 2022.
Tumblr media
Surging Demand of Graphene in the Biomedical Field Driving the Market Growth
Graphene is widely used in biomedical applications due to its diverse physical and chemical properties. Graphene is a thin yet strong material that is used for making bioelectric sensors that measure glucose, cholesterol, and hemoglobin levels in the blood. High and low hemoglobin and cholesterol levels in the body can result in serious health problems such as heart attacks and heart diseases. Graphene sensors are widely used to detect early-stage cholesterol imbalances in the body. These graphene-sensitive sensors can detect minute traces of cholesterol in the body. These sensors are also useful for determining serum cholesterol levels. This is important because high levels of serum cholesterol increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. According to WHO, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes. High blood pressure, glucose, and lipid levels, as well as being overweight or obese, are all risk factors for CVD.
Additionally, graphene is used to check the analyses of different elements present in the body such as sodium, potassium, glucose, and others. Since graphene is present in biomedical products, it is possible to detect these elements in a clear and qualitative manner. For example, INBRAIN Neuroelectronics is a joint venture of two companies originating from graphene Flagship partners ICN2 and ICREA, Spain. Researchers and scientist at INBRAIN are working together to develop graphene-based implants which can track brain activity for the treatment of diseases such as Parkinson’s and epilepsy. They are developing smart devices based on an advanced graphene electrode that can interpret neural signals with high fidelity, allowing for a customized therapeutic response. INBRAIN has also received a first-seed investment from a group of investors in June 2020.

Composite Segment to be the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Market by Application
Based on application, the global graphene market is segmented into electrical & electronics, composites, energy, biomedical, and others. The composite segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the global graphene market by application. Composite materials are created by combining reinforcement (fiber) and matrix (resin). The fiber-matrix mixture outperforms either material alone in terms of properties. The fibers in a composite material bear the bulk of the loads and are the most important element in the material's properties. Graphite’s composite offers exceptional physical and chemical properties which are non-comparable to any other composite that exists. These lightweight, high-performance composites are used in the manufacture of aircraft, fighter jets, and racecars. The global aerospace industry's expansion has boosted the use of graphite composites in the production of aircraft and fighter jets.
In 2019, Boeing and Airbus together have produced more than 1,750 aircraft. Boeing and Airbus are the major stakeholders in the manufacturing of aircraft globally. The surging production of aircraft and increasing expenditure by governments of developed and developing nations in the field of aerospace and defense has positively fueled the market growth of the composite segment in the global graphene market.

Highlights of PM Narendra Modi's Speech: Prime Minister extends Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana till end of November, urges caution ahead of Unlock 2.0
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced that the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY), a free ration scheme, was being extended till the end of November.
"During the monsoon, work picks up pace in the agriculture sector and slows down in other sectors. It is also the season of festivals and expenses also go up. Hence, it has been decided Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana will be extended till the end of November," he said in a televised address.
Under the scheme, five kilograms of wheat or rice and one kg of pulses per month will be given free of cost to over 80 crore people till Diwali or Chhath pooja, he said. The scheme was initially rolled out in March following the imposition of the lockdown for three months.
#WATCH LIVE: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the nation https://t.co/MVp4YAjQOt
— ANI (@ANI) June 30, 2020
// <![CDATA[ <script> // ]]>
The extension of the PMGKAY, said Modi, will cost the government Rs 90,000 crore more. "If we include the expenses incurred in the past three months, then it comes up to around Rs 1.5 lakh crores," he said.
Modi said that the government had announced a package of Rs 1.75 lakh crore under the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana after the imposition of the lockdown. "In the last three months, Rs 31,000 crore have been deposited directly into Jan Dhan accounts of 20 crore poor families. During this time, Rs 18,000 crore have been deposited in the bank accounts of more than 9 crore farmers."
The prime minister also said the government was working on a "One Nation, One Ration Card" initiative, which would benefit those who leave their villages for work and other purposes.
The prime minister also said timely lockdown to contain coronavirus and other decisions saved many lives, adding that in comparison to other countries across the globe, India has done well in dealing with the pandemic.
"We have now entered Unlock 2.0. We have also entered a season when illnesses like cold are on the rise. I request all of you to take care, " he said.
However, he said that since "Unlock-1" has begun, some people have shown negligence and urged them not to let their guard down.
"Since Unlock-1 has began, negligence has been increasing in both personal and social spheres. Earlier, we were cautious about wearing masks, maintaining 'do gaj doori' and washing hands several times a day for 20 seconds. But today, when we need to be more cautious, it is a cause of concern that carelessness is increasing."
The prime minister urged the governments, local authorities and citizens to display similar caution as during the lockdown period, with a special focus on containment zones. "If someone is flouting norms, we need to stop them," he said, asserting that no one is above the law.

Central Railway and Western Railway will run additional 150 and 148 local services, respectively, in Mumbai from 1 July, reports PTI. Only essential staff including those of Centre, IT, defense, Raj Bhavan will be allowed and no general passengers will be allowed yet, the news agency quotes Railways minister Piyush Goyal as saying.
Coronavirus LATEST Updates: The Railways will expand its suburban services in Mumbai from today and run 350 trains each in the Central and Western Railway Zones, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said. The trains will, however, only carry essential services personnel identified by the Maharashtra government. Mumbai recorded 903 new cases, pushing the total number of cases to rise to 77,197 on Tuesday.
As Unlock-2 begins from Wednesday, India's COVID-19 tally climbed to 5,66,840 with nearly 66 percent cases reported in June alone. The nationwide toll rose to 16,893 with 418 new fatalities being reported in 24 hours, according to the Union Health Ministry data.
On Tuesday, Tamil Nadu again surpassed Delhi to regain the second spot among the list of worst-hit states by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an extension of the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY), a government scheme, which aims to provide free ration for 80 crore people, by five more months till the end of November.
In his televised address Tuesday, the prime minister also said it is a cause of worry that people are not adhering as strictly to rules and precautions during the 'unlock' phase as they did during the lockdown.
Modi announces extension of free ration scheme
Stating the cost to the exchequer in extending the PMGKAY scheme, the prime minister said that over Rs 90,000 crore will be spent on the scheme, and if the last three months' expenditure on account of the free ration scheme is added, then the total budget will be about Rs 1.5 lakh crore.
The scheme was rolled out for three months from April soon after the nationwide lockdown was announced to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
Noting that July marks the beginning of the festive season when people's needs as well as expenditure increase, Modi said that the government has decided to extend the scheme till November end.
The prime minister also said in his 16-minute address that the Central Government is working on the "one nation, one ration card" initiative which, he added, will benefit people living outside their home for employment and other needs the most.
This was Modi's sixth address to the nation after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic
The prime minister said that each member of a family covered under the scheme will get five kilogrammes of wheat or rice, and every family will get one kilogramme whole gram per month as well.
Modi, however, lamented that there is an increasing "negligence" in personal and social behaviour during the easing of restrictions and urged people to be more vigilant.
"We have also seen that since 'Unlock-1', there is increasing negligence in personal and social behaviour. Earlier, we were very careful with respect to wearing of masks, social distancing and washing of hands for 20 seconds. But today, when we need to be more careful, increasing negligence is a cause of worry," he said and urged the people to follow all necessary precautions.
He also emphasised on strict enforcement of rules, especially in containment zones.
"Those not following the rules will need to be stopped and cautioned," he said, stressing "be it a village pradhan or the prime minister, no one is above the law in India".
Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu record most cases
Maharashtra remained the highest contributor to the single day rise in cases, registering over 5,200 coronavirus infections, according to the Union Health Ministry.
Recording nearly 4,000 cases in the last 24 hours, Tamil Nadu has again surpassed Delhi to regain the second spot among the list of worst-hit states by the pandemic.
Karnataka also recorded more than 1,100 cases overtaking Haryana and Andhra Pradesh.
Delhi saw an increase of 2,084 cases in the past 24 hours. In June, the national capital added over 64,000 fresh cases to its tally, while over 47,357 patients recovered, were discharged or migrated.
The total number of COVID-19 cases has gone up to 15,394 in Telangana, 14,295 in Karnataka, 14,210 in Haryana, 13,891 in Andhra Pradesh, and 13,370 in Madhya Pradesh.
It has risen to 9,640 in Bihar, 7,752 in Assam, 7,237 in Jammu and Kashmir and 6,859 in Odisha. Punjab has reported 5,418 novel coronavirus infections so far, while Kerala has 4,189 cases.

Puducherry has recorded 619 COVID-19 cases, Chandigarh 435, Nagaland 434 and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu together have reported 203 COVID-19 cases.
Arunachal Pradesh reported 187 cases, Mizoram has 148 cases, Andaman and Nicobar Islands has 90, Sikkim has registered 88 infections so far, while Meghalaya has recorded 47 cases.
Delhi govt sets ball rolling for 'plasma bank'
The Delhi government has set the ball rolling to establish the first-of-its-kind "plasma bank" for treatment of COVID-19 at a facility in the National Capital and its modalities are being worked out, sources told PTI.
The bank is being set up at the Delhi government-run Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) and doctors or hospitals will have to approach it if a plasma is required for treatment of a COVID-19 patient.
Addressing an online media briefing on Monday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said the bank will be operational in the next two days.
The move comes as convalescent plasma therapy has shown "encouraging" results in city hospitals, he had said.
Sources said the facility where the plasma will be drawn from one person to donate to a COVID-19 patient, is being set up on the serving floor of the ILBS.
The plasma itself can be stored in the blood bank facility in a separate pack, a source said.
According to experts, plasma needs cryogenic storage at minus 80 degrees Celsius or less.
Bharat Biotech gets nod to conduct trials for vaccine
The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has granted permission to Bharat Biotech International Limited (BBIL) to conduct Phase I and II Human clinical trials to develop an indigenous vaccine for COVID-19 —  in the name COVAXIN.
For this, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and BBIL had partnered to develop a fully indigenous vaccine for COVID-19 using the virus strain isolated at ICMR's National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune.
"The Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) — the office of DCGI has granted permission to initiate Phase I and II Human clinical trials after the company submitted results generated from preclinical studies, demonstrating safety and immune response. Human clinical trials are scheduled to start across India in July 2020," stated the spokesperson of Bharat Biotech.
"The strain was successfully transferred from NIV to Bharat Biotech International Ltd. (BBIL). Work on vaccine development has been initiated between the two partners. ICMR-NIV are providing continuous support to BBIL for vaccine development. ICMR and BBIL will seek fast-track approvals to expedite vaccine development, subsequent animal studies and clinical evaluation of the candidate vaccine," said ICMR official.
