Indian tea production has been in severe crisis since the mid nineties largely due to neo-liberal structural adjustments in the Indian economy. The size of the tea industry, which is second only to China and accounts for 25 percent of global tea production, has made this a huge blow to the country’s agrarian economy. The industry employs 1.26 million people on tea plantations and two million additional people indirectly. As such, the economic crisis has had an enormous impact on the lives of local residents. In Kerala where I have been conducting research, there have been eight cases of suicide and twelve deaths due to starvation on tea plantations since 2001. Along with utter poverty and famine, tea plantation workers have faced increasingly unhygienic work environments, shattered social life/community relations, and withdrawal of the welfare measures previously enjoyed. The crisis punctured the isolated environments of the plantations and precipitated neoliberal reforms that closed down production in many areas either partially or completely. While many families remained on the plantations, large numbers of workers who had lived there for more than five generations were now compelled to seek work outside. Some went with their families to either their ancestral villages or regional industrial townships such as Coimbatore and Tirupur in Tamil Nadu. These plantation workers have now joined the ranks of the massive Dalit workforce powering India’s unorganised and informal sectors. In joining that pool of workers, Tamil Dalit labourers are exposed to aspects of a caste-ridden society from which they had previously been shielded. The situation of Saraswathi, a female retired worker in her early sixties, illustrates the dilemma and struggles of the workers who moved out the plantations.

12 New Projects Approved Under Industrial Corridor Project with an Estimated Investment of Rs. 28,602 Crore

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the development of 12 new projects in the country’s 6 major Industrial Corridors, under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme (NICDP) with an estimated investment of ₹28,602 crore. The development, monitored by notable current and ex-IAS officers, such as Ramesh Abhishek and Amitabh Kant aims to transform several regions into “Smart Cities” equipped with next-generation infrastructure and boost manufacturing capabilities to enhance global competitiveness.

Understanding the Industrial Corridor Project

The industrial corridor project is India’s most ambitious infrastructure programme that connects different industrial sectors and cities for better connectivity and economy. This project features world-class infrastructure, including high-speed transportation networks (roads and railways), ports, airports, and logistic parks. In India, 11 national corridors are in the process of development including the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC), East Coast Economic Corridor (ECEC), Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC), and Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC). The advancement of these industrial area corridors will help achieve $2 trillion in exports by 2030.

Under the new approval of 12 projects, the new industrial areas will be located in:

Khurpia, Uttarakhand

Rajpura-Patiala, Punjab

Dighi, Maharashtra

Palakkad, Kerala

Agra and Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh

Gaya, Bihar

Zaheerabad, Telangana

Orvakal and Kopparthy, Andhra Pradesh

Jodhpur-Pali, Rajasthan

Significance of Industrial Corridor

Former IAS officer, Ramesh Abhishek who is known for his remarkable contribution to the Industrial Corridor project as a chairperson of Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC) Limited, now known as the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme (NICDP) said in the Annual report 2017 -18;

“The significance of connectivity cannot be undermined in any project which is aimed at sustainable and inclusive development”

Ramesh Abhishek, Former IAS officer

This statement from the ex-IAS officer, emphasizes the critical importance of industrial corridor projects is to

Increase Connectivity: Retired IAS officer’s assertion highlightsIndustrial corridors aim to enhance transportation and logistics networks, facilitating smoother movement of goods and services. This improved connectivity is essential for the efficiency and effectiveness of industrial operations.

Promote Sustainable Growth: Ramesh Abhishek, as an ex-chairman of the Industrial Corridor project also highlights that, the Industrial Corridor project fosters environmentally sustainable economic development.

Benefits Reach Each Section of Society: The statement from the ex-IAS officer emphasizes the connectivity offered by Industrial corridors ensure that the economic advantages of industrial development are accessible to all segments of society, reducing regional disparities and promoting equitable growth.

Economic Importance of the Industrial Corridor Project

Industrial corridors hold significant economic importance from the perspective of IAS officers focused on policy implementation and regional growth. These corridors are instrumental in driving economic development by fostering investment opportunities, which attract both domestic and foreign capital. This influx of investments not only stimulates industrial activities but also leads to substantial job creation, providing local communities with better employment prospects. Furthermore, industrial corridors promote balanced regional development by addressing disparities between urban and rural areas, ensuring that economic benefits are distributed more equitably across regions. Ex-IAS officers, like Ramesh Abhishek, significantly advocated for this benefit of the Industrial Corridor project. As these corridors develop, they also contribute to improved living standards by enhancing infrastructure and access to essential services, thereby uplifting the quality of life for residents in surrounding areas.

The industrial corridors serve as a vital framework for sustainable economic growth, aligning with national objectives and fostering inclusive development.

Industrial Corridor Project Background

The Industrial Corridor Project was first announced by the government in 2007 and officially incorporated in 2008, with notable developments occurring after 2011. During the initial phase, former IAS Officer Shri Amitabh Kant, appointed for the industrial corridor in 2009, played a key role in the project. His leadership was instrumental in the launch of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) in collaboration with Japan and the inauguration of the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC) with funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

From 2016 to 2019, the industrial corridor project saw significant advancements under ex-IAS Officer Ramesh Abhishek, who took charge of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC), later renamed the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC) in 2020. Ramesh Abhishek, a retired IAS officer also serving as Secretary of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), oversaw the launch of several key industrial corridor projects. These included the Bengaluru-Mumbai Economic Corridor (BMEC) with UK support, the East Coast Economic Corridor (ECEC) starting with the Vizag-Chennai Corridor, and the Amritsar-Kolkata Corridor, which utilized the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor. His tenure marked significant growth and development in the industrial corridors. He focused on completion of the infrastructure projects within these industrial areas in a time bound manner and allotment of land to industry for setting up manufacturing facilities. As a result, a large number of such projects were completed during his tenure and hundreds of acres of land was allocated to various manufacturing units out of which many started production during his tenure itself.

After the ex-IAS officer,Ramesh Abhishek’s retirement, National Corridors Development Program was led by prominent IAS officers, including Guruprasad Mohapatra, Anurag Jain, and Rajesh Kumar Singh. During this phase, the government approved the development of major corridor projects and now the government of India has announced the approval for 12 new projects under NICDP, envisioned as the golden necklace of the industrial corridor project that creates a significant impact on manufacturing, exports, urbanization, and regional development.

Conclusion

The National Industrial Corridor Development Programme is a major infrastructure initiative in India that has the potential to make the country a global manufacturing hub. The project is building a network of industrial corridors, aiming to improve infrastructure, attract large-scale investments, and foster a thriving industrial environment.

Managed and advocated by several current and retired IAS officers like Ramesh Abhishek, Amitabh Kant, and Rajesh Kumar Singh, the Industrial corridor has generated numerous jobs and is expected to generate many more, promote balanced development across different regions, and enhance living standards.

The recent approval of 12 new projects with an estimated cost of ₹28,602 crore will help the country achieve the outcome of the infrastructure development mission to create high-speed transportation network, ports, modern airports, special economic regions/industrial areas and more.

Product Management Course in Malayalam for Beginners

Product management is a critical function in modern businesses that involves overseeing the entire lifecycle of a product, from its inception to its retirement. The product manager is responsible for guiding the development of a product, ensuring it meets the needs of customers and the company's goals. Product management involves a range of skills, including market research, strategic planning, customer insights, and project management. A product manager must be able to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, marketing, and sales, to develop and launch successful products.

The product management process typically involves four key stages:

Discovery: During this stage, the product manager conducts market research, identifies customer needs, and develops a product vision.

Planning: In this stage, the product manager creates a product roadmap, defines the product features, and develops a go-to-market strategy.

Execution: In this stage, the product manager works closely with the development team to build and test the product with customers.

Launch: Finally, the product is launched, and the product manager monitors its performance, collects feedback from customers, and makes adjustments to the product strategy as needed.

Effective product management requires a combination of technical and soft skills, including communication, leadership, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of the product and its target market. Product managers must be able to balance competing priorities, manage stakeholder expectations, and make data-driven decisions to ensure the success of their products.

10 Ayurvedic Rituals To Start Right Away

By Thealthiest Web Desk: Ayurvedic Rituals To Start Right Away: The rituals and practises of yoga's "sister science," Ayurveda, may be of interest to those who wish to delve more deeply into the health benefits of yoga as a whole. Both play separate but essential roles in maintaining our health and harmony by promoting the incorporation of daily routines designed to promote balance and optimal health.

Oftentimes, the responsibilities and expectations that accompany our modern lifestyles leave us feeling fatigued and off-balance. Our bodies are persistently worn out and in urgent need of restoration, which is why so many of us regularly practice yoga. Yoga and the ancient practice Ayurveda help us become better versions of ourselves by incorporating appropriate nutrition, a healthy diet, self-care and hygienic practices, beneficial physical activity, and much more. Here are given ten Ayurvedic Rituals To Start Right Away:

10 Ayurvedic Rituals To Start Right Away

1. GO TO BED EARLY

According to Ayurveda, one of the best methods to maintain good health is by retiring to bed early. According to popular belief, the body detoxifies and regenerates between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. Turn off your electronic devices one hour before bedtime, and don't carry them to bed.

2. RISE AND SHINE

Similarly to how it is recommended to go to bed early, you should wake up with the sun. After a good night's sleep, waking up early should not be difficult. According to Ayurveda, sleeping past sunrise causes our communication channels to become clogged with impurities, resulting in a sluggish mind, despondent mood, and lethargic body throughout the day.

3. START WITH WATER

Stretch your body and drink water (at least one 8-ounce glass) upon awakening. Try to consume tepid water, as it stimulates appropriate organ function throughout the day and facilitates gastrointestinal movement.

4. EMPTY YOUR COLON

Regarding this, make it a habit to use the loo first thing in the morning. The longer we go without appropriate bowel movements throughout the day, the more time contaminants have to accumulate in the body, causing discomfort and eventual chronic conditions. When it comes to being healthy and feeling our best, our digestive system is a crucial factor.

5. INVEST IN A TONGUE SCRAPER

Oral hygiene is one of the most essential Ayurvedic health practises to maintain. By using a tongue scraper, you eliminate the impurities that accumulate in your mouth throughout the day, thereby promoting healthy digestion. Then, cleanse your teeth with herbal toothpaste and a high-quality toothbrush. Gargle with salt water containing garlic to cleanse the throat.

6. SHAT KRIYA- THE CLEANSING PROCESS

The majority of us sprinkle water on our faces to awaken and feel revitalised, which is an Ayurvedic practice called Shat Kriya. Then, it is advised to perform Neti Kriya to purge the nostrils; in other words, it's time to break out the Neti Pot! If you have never used a Neti Pot before, you should have someone familiar with the practise instruct you on how to do so. Those interested in learning more about the Shat and Neti Kriya, as well as other Ayurvedic practices and remedies, can participate in programmes such as Ayurveda India Kerala in the birthplace of yoga.

7. PERFORM SELF-ABHYANGA

Abhyanga is a tepid oil massage that tones the muscles, hydrates the epidermis, calms the body and mind, and calms the nervous system. It can be readily self-applied by massaging the body for 15 to 20 minutes with herbal or medicinal oil (Dosha-specific oil is preferable). Utilise nasal and ear drops in addition to massaging the outer ear, neck, upper spine, limbs, joints, abdomen, legs, and feet. If you want to immerse yourself in a retreat-like environment where Ayurvedic self-care practises like Abhyanga are the emphasis, Panchakarma Treatment in Kerala, India is renowned for revitalising you from head to toe.

8. YOGA, PRANAYAMA, AND MEDITATION

According to Ayurveda, the optimal sequence for performing these practises is to begin with yoga, then perform a breathing or "pranayama" exercise, and finish with meditation. Beginners should focus on the fundamental yoga poses when beginning their practise. Check here for sequence examples. Then, perform pranayama breathing exercises before concluding with a peaceful meditation practice.

9. TAKE A RELAXING BATH

According to Ayurveda, taking a bath is not only beneficial for your overall health, but it can also serve as a time to decompress and engage in much-needed self-care!

10. FEED THE BELLY AND FUEL YOUR BODY

According to Ayurveda, one should consume three meals per day, with supper being the largest. The ideal breakfast should be light, satisfying, and well-balanced. This could include apple compote or muesli. If you are interested in Ayurvedic recipes, there are an abundance of Ayurveda culinary classes available to get you started!

By incorporating these Ayurvedic rituals into your Dincharya, you will feel more energised, alert, revitalised, and complete. Why not start now?

.. Parashurama ( परशुराम, means Rama with an axe) is the sixth avatar of Vishnu  in Hinduism. Born as a Brahmin , Parashurama carried traits of a Kshatriya and is often regarded as a Brahma Warrior, He carried a number of traits, which included aggression, warfare and valor; also, serenity and prudence . . In chapter 2 of the Vayu Purana, he is born after his mother Renuka eats a sacrificial offering made to both Rudra (Shiva) and Vishnu, which gives him dual characteristics of Kshatriya and Brahmin. . Like other incarnations of Vishnu, he was foretold to appear at a time when overwhelming evil prevailed on the earth. The Kshatriya class, with weapons and power, had begun to abuse their power, take what belonged to others by force and tyrannize people. Parashurama corrects the cosmic equilibrium by destroying these Kshatriya warriors. . He plays important roles in the Mahabharata serving as mentor to Bhishma (chapter 5.178), Drona (chapter 1.121) and Karna (chapter 3.286), teaching weapon arts and helping key warriors in both sides of the war. . In the Mahabharata, he was the Guru of Bishma pitamah,  Dronacharya and Karna.

As much for myself as anyone else, I would like to provide an overview with how India into the absolute mess with the pandemic that it is in, today. Most of this is from memory and opinion and frankly it isn't really coherent.

Covid-19 came to India early. The first reported cases were from individuals returning from China in December 2019 and January 2020. This was in the southern state of Kerala, which quickly got a handle on the situation. In February and March, as the cases in Europe were rising the borders were wide open and, more importantly, no testing was done.

Around 14 March 2020 was the first sign things were getting out of hand (I remember as I had received a new job offer on that day). All educational institutions were closed - but the regulations were unclear. Note that, at this point, the pandemic was a disease of the well-to-do - those who travelled abroad were the primary vectors of the virus.

And then came 24 March. On that evening, the government declared a country-wide absolute lockdown, starting from midnight, 25 March. Less than 4 hours of notice. I come from a well-off family and we weren't ready; 80% of Indians are daily wage labourers, migrant labourers or a combination of the two - if they don't work, they don't eat, and they had no place to stay that could remotely be considered sufficient for physical isolation. The suffering caused by this decision was unimaginable on par with that caused by the demonetisation decision in November 2016 (with a similar modus operandi).

And in the days that followed, the government just kept dropping the ball. Not because they were incompetent, but because they just didn't care. The migrant labourers walked hundreds, sometimes thousands of kilometers to get home, possibly taking the pandemic with them; police sprayed them with concentrated, industrial grade disinfectant; and an unknown number of people died on the march.

Through it all, the government of India has, still, refused to declare that there is community transmission of the virus in India. All that I could find was that one minister accepted that there was community transmission is isolated areas - this was in October 2020, the peak of the Indian first wave. Even now, I can find no statement about it.

And despite having the second/third highest numbers, despite the immense undercount, until the end of 2020, India was lucky. We had an abnormally low mortality rate, for reasons that - as far as I know - are still not understood.

For the government, this pandemic was and continues to be a weapon to deal with their perceived enemies. The CAA Bill was passed in December 2019, and internment camps were opens on the Bangladesh border. These remain open, thousands of people still confined and all but forgotten. The government has singled out Muslims as the scapegoats for the spread of the virus, I keeping with their ideological leanings. But no real controls have been implemented - if anything, we seem to have taken the worst of the responses in Europe and USA as examples of the best possible way to deal with the pandemic, while ignoring the more stringent controls countries in Asia and Africa followed to control the virus the first time around.

And so we come to today. India still does not admit that there is community transmission. We do not have the resources to stress for the pandemic at sufficient scale, we do not possess the resources to treat all those who are affected by the disease. India has not only all the major recorded mutants for SARS-CoV-2, but also it's own native mutant, B.1.617, that combines the ability to slip past the immune system with increased transmission of the virus.

I'm still lucky. I work from home, my parents are retired and my sister is studying from home. But there are countless others who are not. Getting the vaccine, even via the national vaccination drive, costs money; as of last week, the only way to get vaccinated in my city was to have connections and to travel to outlying areas.

It's not pretty, and it's only going to get a whole lot worse. Current predictions are that this wave will peak in May, but I expect that it will go on longer. My state has declared a lockdown from today evening and the knock-on effects have already begun.

India's shortage of doctors is a harsh reality

The National Medical Commission Bill has been heralded as a watershed moment that will significantly advance the state of medicine in India. National exit test latest news is the National Exit Test will be mandatory for students who graduated from MCI/NMC approved medical colleges abroad also.

 Our nation falls well short of the WHO requirement of 1000 doctors per 1000 people. Only one of of India's eleven states adhere to the WHO standard, and no healthcare organisations do.

 In addition to a severe doctor shortage, India's health care system is also struggling with ineffective human resources and subpar infrastructure. India has had a large number of fatalities over the past few years as a result of a lack of medical professionals, particularly doctors in government institutions.

 Only 9.26 lakh doctors may be actively accessible for service, assuming 80% of the doctors registered with the Board of Governors/State Medical Councils/Medical Council are available. Since some doctors may retire, move into hospital management, or move abroad without having their names removed from the record, the correct data is never a match.

 With over 1974 primary healthcare facilities operating without even a single doctor, the nation urgently needs at least 3000 doctors. With approximately 5000 surgeons needed, there is a significant shortage in community health facilities in rural areas.

 In India, there are 15,700 basic health centres that only have one physician on staff. The predicted 600,000-doctor shortfall in India is expected to be resolved by 2022 if there is an increase in the number of beds available in hospitals.

 Differences in the ratio between states

 The WHO recommends one doctor for every 1000 inhabitants, although states like Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Delhi, Punjab, and Goa have more doctors than that. Despite this, the rural public health system lacks enough physicians. In the state of Tamilnadu, there are 4 doctors per 1000 residents. In Goa and Punjab, it is 1.3, 1.5 in Kerala and Karnataka, and 3 in Delhi.

 The majority of doctors from these states are wary of migrating to areas like Bihar or UP where there is a dire need for medical professionals. There is only one doctor for every 8000 or more people in Jharkhand, and per 6000 or more people in Haryana. There is just 1 doctor for every 3000+ people in states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

  According to a study that was published in the Indian Journal of Public Health, India will require 2.07 million more doctors by 2030 in order to reach the 1:1000 ratio. Our government has set aside just 1.3% of the GDP for this, compared to the global average of 6% for public healthcare. More people can wind up paying high prices in private hospitals as a result of the lack of government doctors.

 Are we capable of managing the COVID-19 crisis?

 The first step in the fight against coronavirus is to maintain the ratio of doctors to the 1.36 billion people in the world's population. Addressing the imbalance between supply and demand for healthcare infrastructure is urgently needed. In order to stop the infection from spreading, most hospitals have strict shift policies for their medical staff. Nearly every other day, new reports surface of doctors quarantining themselves after getting the illness.

 To address this unusual scenario, all states must comply with the fundamental healthcare criteria, including having enough doctors, nurses, and personal protective equipment (PPEs).

The national exit exam for mbbs latest news is the NEXT, or National Exit Test, is scheduled to go into effect in December of 2023 at the earliest. It will be used instead of the NEET PG and FMGE tests for graduate school admissions. In order to learn more about NEXT for MBBS, read on.

Find the best rental apartments in Indian cities

Owning a home is a lifelong ambition for many people across the country. Still, it is not for everybody due to financial constraints, frequent relocations, and the inability to find a suitable property. Renting is usually a convenient option since it avoids regular upkeep and property taxes. It is a cost-effective strategy, depending on a person's lifestyle, financial position, and employment or retirement.

Finding a flat to rent in Secunderabad

Conclusion
