delta plus variant.
WHAT….?
The variant, Delta Plus is a sub lineage of the Delta Variant, first detected in India and has acquired the first spike protein mutation called K417N which is also found in the Beta variant first identified in South Africa.
HOW IT IS DIFFERENT ….?
The disease caused by this variant might exhibit different symptoms than the other viral mutations. The spike protein mutations make the Delta variant “the fastest and the fittest” variant.
IS IT MORE DEADLY….?
Delta variant fist identified in India and also known as B.1.617.2, carries a greater risk of hospitalization, is around 60% more transmissible than the Alpha strain and is more resistant to vaccines, particularly only when one dose has been given.
SYMPTOMS….?
- Headaches
- Sore throats
- Runny noses
- Fever
Although, according to WHO officials the Delta variant also causes more severe symptoms, but that more research is needed to confirm those conclusions. Still, there are signs that Delta strain could provoke different symptoms than other variants.
CAN YOU GET DELTA VARIANT IF YOU ARE VACCINATED….?
If one is fully vaccinated, particularly with the two-dose vaccine then he/she doesn’t have to worry about the Delta variant.
IS COVAXIN EFFECTIVE AGAINST DELTA VARIANT….?
Covaxin, Covishield are effective against Delta variant, says Health Secretary.
CAN ONE GET DELTA VARIANT IF ALREADY BEEN COVID POSITIVE….?
The research says people who have already had COVID should be protected against it, but that it’s not guaranteed. In addition, it is also said that researchers don’t know yet if it is more dangerous for young people. Both groups are advised to get vaccinated.
“Stay Safe, Get Vaccinated, Wear Mask Properly, Wash Your Hands Properly, Maintain Distance”.
DENTAL CARE RITUALS
Now that we have known the major dental health problems we must also know that apart from brushing teeth twice daily, there are other rituals that need to be followed for a healthy oral space. Because many a time it happens that despite brushing teeth diligently, some food debris gets left behind which gives the bad bacterias a chance to harm our tooth.
All the times we remind ourselves that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. But, unfortunately, we forget that a healthy oral space leads to a healthy body.
Maintaining healthy and shining teeth is crucial because our mouth is the threshold of our body. Most of the things that enter our body comes through this space. So, looking after its health and hygiene is necessary.
Hence, I am illuminating you with some of the dental care regimes that you need to give attention to for clear, healthy teeth.

FLOSSING:
Flossing is a dominant method for protecting teeth from decaying.
Cut 18 inches of floss and wind it around the middle finger of each hand.
Insert the floss between your tooth and gently slide it up into the space between the gum and the tooth. It will slide down all the trapped debris down.
Hold the floss tightly against the tooth. Gently rub the side of the tooth, moving the floss away from the gum with up-and-down motions.
Repeat this method on the rest of your teeth.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT BRUSH:
Always look for a brush whose head and bristles are small enough to reach into the tiny spaces between your teeth. According to the International Dental Health Association, most adults require a small or medium-sized toothbrush for this purpose.

GARGLE WITH MOUTHWASH:
Add mouthwash to your dental care regime. A mouthwash goes to all those pockets of spaces where bristles and floss cannot reach. It helps in hunting down the plaque-causing bacteria and gives your mouth a fresh odor. All you need to do is to gurgle mouthwash 3- 4 times a day, after every meal.
CHANGE BRUSH FREQUENTLY:
Brushes tend to worsen after a while. Their bristles get disjoined, gets detached, or become blunt. These types of brushes don’t clean the teeth properly. So if you’re using the same toothbrush for a long time, you may not be getting the best clean anymore. Hence, change your brush within three to four months or when the bristles start to tear apart.
EAT HEALTHY:
The greatest and most important part of all the oral care regime is eating healthy. Consume calcium-rich food for strong teeth and gum. Drink plenty of water in a day. It helps wash away food particles and keeps your saliva levels high. Water also washes away the bad bacterias and gives you a fresh odor. Apart from milk, cheese, and yogurt, celery, carrots, and crunch veggies are other healthy foods for strong teeth.
Also, have a check your drinking habits and discard smoking cigarettes.
So, bring down all the habits into your dental care regime and you would be able to have a clean and healthy set of teeth.
LEADERS IN ORGANISATIONS
Organisational leadership is a management technique in which leaders help set the
organisation’s strategic objectives while encouraging individuals within the group to carry out
tasks effectively in support of those goals. Effective Leadership is based on a strong
framework consisting of a specific mission, a vision for the future, a particular plan, and a
success-oriented community. Successful organisations are created by successful leaders. Let’s look at Elon Musk as an example
n Musk is the co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motors and is a leader who is passionate
about his work. He sets high expectations for his company, his team and also for himself too.
Musk follows an Authoritative Style of leadership. He has a bold, persistent personality that
will not accept failure. He’s also an organised person with inspirational ideas and intense
focus on his work. He is a leader who pushes people until they reach their full potential.
He possesses a lot of Leadership Qualities ans styles. Some of his qualities and traits includeLeading with Purpose, Being comfortable with change, Operating with Integrity, Being a
continuous learner, Having a clear strategic vision and focusing on the big picture. He has
earned the trust of his employees and followers by being reliable in situations that are
uncertain.Elon musk is one such leader that works really hard to ensure the success of his
companies and claims that he often sleeps at his Tesla manufacturing plant because he
doesn’t have time to go home. His drive to work for long hours often means that he expects
his employees to do the same.
At his Tesla Cybertruck launch event Elon Musk had claimed that the glass of the car could
withstand a blow from a metal ball, but when his colleague hurled the ball at the truck, the
glass broke in a spider web pattern. However Musk didn’t get angry. In fact, he laughed off
the mistake and said, “Well, it didn’t t go through! Not bad.” This shows a softer side to his leadership style
Musk says “Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating
enough.”He took that as an opportunity to learn and innovative. Elon helps and encourages
his workers to step out of the conventional way of thinking to bring forward all their new
ideas even though they may fail. Thus in courage innovation. In any scenario, good leaders
are able to adapt and continue to drive forward towards the goals of their team. They
understand how to enable their teams to leverage their strengths to find solutions and
innovate, whatever comes their way
Today, at 39 years old, he is the founder and CEO of SpaceX, co-founder, CEO and product
architect of Tesla Motors. Tesla only being worth $414.65 Billion. He is the 39th wealthiest
person in the US with a Net worth of $93.3 Billion. Most of his outstanding qualities are his
belief in his own vision, his drive and his persistence, refusing to accept any obstacles in his path.
Video games and Education : How to bridge the two
Videos games have become a significant part of our culture for over half the century. They have also lead to many leading artistic and technical endeavors including many innovations in all these years. People have started to recognize the importance of these games as culturally important and the need to curate and store them properly.
Education is one of the areas that have gone through a transformational change in 2020 and forward. The learning space has transitioned from a physical space to a space that has gone digital. The convergence of various technologies and modalities has given birth to a new space in the education system.
When it comes to Computer games, many used to scoff at them as a mere product for brief entertainment, but the increased proliferation of digital in every individual’s life means that Video games have a more significant role to play than ever before. The increased visual fidelity with better computing power has signified more immersion in the digital world. Online education has been given a push from governments around the globe. The majority of the higher institutions are teaching remotely with the help of different online tools. One of the major challenges that many educators face is the problem of engagement on par with the physical class.
Instead of just looking at online education as an alternative for the physical classes, we have to look at online education as a means of learning that can enhance the experience and engagement of the students than the physical classes as well. The technologies in 2021 clearly indicate that various tools and measures can be added into the experience of not just online learning and but also in the space of cultural heritage and digital tourism. Video games are an important tool that educators can leverage to fulfill these requirements.
Engagement and immersion can be the key factors that can drive the education system forward. There are many instances where students skip a certain subject even before attempting to learn it. This can be due to a poor and unfavorable experience with a certain instructor or wrong assumptions about the difficulty of that subject. Engaging interfaces in the form of creative games, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality can help alleviate these types of issues.
Human-Computer-Interaction is an important field where the aspect of design and technology converge. This area not just deals with technological issues but also with the psychological and socio-cultural problems while designing/building a product or an interface. The interface is an important area that is often overlooked on many platforms. Many Educational platforms don’t offer the freedom that can help students, but they rather use the stingy design philosophy and force the users to a particular behavior while using it. Therefore the interface of games becomes equally important. Games can be used to create a more participatory environment for both the teachers and students alike while increasing the experimentation and systematic thinking in the class.
Video games are usually played to win or accomplish a level. Players are motivated by winning these challenges and this is the key to stay engaged. Games motivate through fun, which is part of the natural learning process in human development with instant and visual feedback.
We can conclude that the implementation of video games in the realm of education can make online learning more engaging and intuitive for learners. This is still a novel field of research and we have a long way to go but we cannot dismiss the numerous possibilities that games can provide us in this area.
Social issues related topics.

Common Examples of Social Issues:-
* Poverty and Homelessness
* Climate Change
* Overpopulation
* Immigration Stresses
* Gender Inequality
* Health Care Availability
* Childhood Obesity
* Bullying
* Poor Leadership
* Fixing Common Social Issues
* Raise Awareness Through Education
* Covid-19 & Global Pandemic
* The Black Lives Matter Social Movement
* Green Energy Conversion
* The Presence of the U.S. Military Troops in Afghanistan
* The Challenges of Remote Education
* Arctic Pole Environmental Situation
* Global Pandemic & Vaccination
* Travel Restrictions
1. Poverty and Homelessness:-
Poverty and homelessness are worldwide problems. According to Habitat for Humanity, one-quarter of the world’s population lives in conditions that harm their health and safety. Many do not have shelter, a basic human need for survival.
This social issue also goes beyond the 25% of the population directly affected. Because of the lack of shelter for this vulnerable population, there is greater stress on government and social programs, including schools and healthcare systems.
2. Climate Change:-
A warmer, changing climate is a threat to the entire world. Climate change affects the entire world population, and the Union of Concerned Scientists calls this social issue “one of the most devastating problems humanity has ever faced.”
The 800 million people already living in extreme poverty will be impacted most severely. Around the world, people are already noticing warmer winters, more severe storms and rainfall events, and more frequent wildfires. These issues already put stress on governments and systems in many countries.
3. Overpopulation:-
As the population of the world grows, resources become scarcer. The United Nations reports that the current population of 7.7 billion people is expected to grow in coming decades, with a projection of 8.5 billion people by 2030.
The fastest growing areas of the world, such as sub-Saharan Africa, often face already scarce resources like land for farming. As the population becomes more than the country can sustain, people will need to move elsewhere to avoid starvation and homelessness.
4. Immigration Stresses:-
People move from one country to another, and in itself, this isn’t a social problem. However, immigration can place stress on government programs and social systems within a country, and it can be a divisive topic in a society. These immigration-related stresses affect many people.
For instance, the Pew Research Center reports that the United States has more immigrants than any other country; 13.6% of the U.S. population identifies as an immigrant. This is a divisive issue in the U.S. population, with some groups calling for stricter immigration laws. Although the majority of U.S. citizens welcome immigrants, a 2019 Gallup poll indicates 23% of people think immigration is the most important social issue facing the country.
5. Civil Rights and Racial Discrimination:-
Civil rights, or the rights of citizens in a country to have equal treatment socially and politically, is another one of the most significant social issues in America and around the world. More than 40 years after the Civil Rights Act passed, almost 60% of African Americans still live in segregated neighborhoods and 90% of African Americans report that racial discrimination is still a major problem.
6. Gender Inequality:-
A report from the Pew Research Center Fact Tank indicates that about 50% of Americans feel the country needs to do more to address the income gap between men and women. Women still lag behind men in wages and top leadership positions held, although they are now more likely to attain a college degree.
Worldwide, the situation is even more extreme. UNICEF reports that 12 million girls are married before they reach adulthood, and 98 million high school-aged girls do not attend school.
7. Health Care Availability:-
When people are sick or hurt, they need access to medical care to get better. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost one in 20 U.S. citizens do not obtain needed medical care because of the cost. Worldwide, 97 million people become impoverished by seeking needed medical care, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Governments around the world are working on this problem, as are nonprofit organizations.
8. Childhood Obesity:-
However, the childhood obesity epidemic doesn’t affect all children equally. Children in families where the parents have more education and higher incomes are far less likely to be obese than those in families with less education and lower incomes.
9. Bullying:-
Obesity can also have an impact on another important social issue: bullying. The PACER National Bullying Prevention Center indicates that obesity and other appearance issues are among the top reasons children report being bullied.
Despite recent anti-bullying initiatives, more than 20% of American students report being bullied. A third of those being bullied report that it happens at least once or twice each month. Additionally, 24% of middle school students report they have been victims of cyberbullying, or bullying conducted online.
10. Poor Leadership:-
Many of the social problems in society are connected in subtle ways, but all social problems are connected to the leadership of countries, corporations, and other groups. An ongoing Gallup poll asks Americans to rate the most important problems and social issues facing the country. By far, the most significant issue was poor leadership; 28% of respondents list it as the number one problem.
11. Fixing Common Social Issues:-
Although many Americans feel their leaders are the biggest problem they face, governments, corporations, and communities are working to fix some of the top social issues. These are just a few of the actions they are taking:
- Schools are implementing anti-bullying programs, which the PACER National Bullying Preventions Center says can decrease bullying by up to 25%.
- Community efforts to help reduce childhood obesity include adding salad bars to school lunches, focusing on physical fitness, and adding obesity prevention initiatives to hospitals.
- The U.S. enacted the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to begin addressing the challenges in health care availability, and it remains an important political issue.
- The European Union is on track to meet its goals for reducing carbon emissions and helping mitigate the effects of climate change. Other countries are also working hard to make progress.
12. Raise Awareness Through Education:-
Discussing social issues can be contentious, but it’s also an important part of making progress on these problems facing society. Community and classroom activities involving social issues can help raise awareness for these topics. Writing about social issues can also help expand people’s understanding of these important challenges.
13. Covid-19 & Global Pandemic:-
Without a doubt, almost every sector of modern life has been affected by the global pandemic restrictions and the rules of social distancing. Even though several countries of the world seem to return to normal life, the matters of logistics and global trading are still vague. As an example of social topics dealing with this issue, you may consider writing about how the Covid-19 crisis has affected a particular company or the entire industry.
14. The Black Lives Matter Social Movement:-
It is hard to find anything that has marked the last two years in terms of social importance. The Black Lives Matter movement has captured the entire world because the issues of racial prejudice are relevant as ever. In terms of possible topics, you can compare the BLM movement with the student protests in the 1970s or the Montgomery Bus Station protest.
15. Green Energy Conversion:-
This social issue is mostly related to environmental problems, yet the global conferences in 2021 are dedicated to finding safe ways to convert all available energy to safe methods. You may consider writing about the latest innovations to the solar energy sector and talk about wind turbines if you are majoring in Electrical Engineering. At the same time, you can consider writing about school education and the importance of educating the youngsters about our environment.
16. The Presence of the U.S. Military Troops in Afghanistan:-
It is a sensitive social issue in the United States as President Biden has announced about the troops leaving Afghanistan in 2021. This social topic is s quite important as it is not only a political issue but also a matter of national security.
17. The Challenges of Remote Education:-
As we are making it through yet another year of distance learning with Skype and Zoom solutions for video conferences, the challenges of modern learning are evident. Consider writing about how the student habits and attitudes have changed in 2021 and think about what pros and cons of this issue you can explore.
18. Arctic Pole Environmental Situation:-
The Arctic Pole Ice Shield is the social issue that became apparent in 2021 as explorers and scientists from all fields of science started to reveal updated information. Regardless of your college course, you can approach this social issue through the prism of environmental protection, political bias, economics, marketing, and even the logistics that are also present in this sector.
19. Global Pandemic & Vaccination:-
The subject of vaccination might be among the most discussed social issues today, yet it does not make it to the lists of immediate issues because of the political games at play. For example, you can write about unequal distributions of vaccines to certain countries and the ways how politics manipulate this sensitive matter.
20. Travel Restrictions:-
As the warm times are coming closer, the majority of people think about traveling. Even if you are not up for the times of leisure, you may consider some business travels. The list of restrictions is changing all the time, which makes it a relevant social issue in 2021. You can consider writing about new safety regulations and the ways how the Covid-19 has affected our travel routines and rules.

THE World under the OCEAN
Hellooo guys!!!
Today I am writing about a very interesting topic
We the humans are creatures of land, but there is totally a different world under the ocean.
Its as if the colours in the whole world can be seen under the ocean not only colours the different
aquatic beings are of different kind, they have their own designs patterns.
Its like a whole new ecosystem out there.
once you dive into this beautiful and colourful world under the ocean you can see a whole new unique world.
yes guys I am emphasising on the word “world” cause they have their own environment, their own living beings
I would like to tell you all about some of the intEresting facts and terminoligies i have heard about.
- 1.CLOWN FISHES :- I am sure you all know about the famous fish nemo but do you guys know that its real name is clown fish. These kind of fishes are found in warm waters such as Red sea, pacific ocean. They are found in shallow waters.

- 2. TREASURES: I don’t know if the pirates really hunt for treasures or not but deep under the ocean the treasures really exist. you may get the doubt about how the treasures are under the sea these are caused to the shipwrecks.
- Before you go on a journey to find the treasures please do not forget the treasure maps.

- 3.Whale falls: THE WHALES live under the ocean but do you guys know there is term associated with the whales that is the whale falls
- A whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale has fallen onto the ocean floor at a depth greater than 1,000 m, in the bathyal or abyssal zones. On the sea floor, these carcasses can create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades.
- 4. Blind fishes: The Mexican blind cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus), which no longer has eyes. Now scientists may have solved the riddle of why the fish lost their eyes in the dark.They live deep in the ocean.
- 5.Volcanic eruptions: we all know about the volcanoes and volcanic eruptions on land , but do you know most of the volcanic eruptions take place under the sea .
- The active volcanoes are less than dormant volcanoes under the ocean but still they ratio of volcanic eruptions in the ocean is more compared to that on land.

- 6. As I mentioned earlier I call it as the marine world , They have their own environment, they even have lakes , waterfalls, forests, corals.
- Even aquatic animals get attracted to them and even sometimes new species form there due to the environment.

The above facts are just a sneak peak into the
” world under the OCEAN”
Thankyou^^
Beyond the prejudice towards American Hip Hop
From Dr. Dre to Drake, and many more, the Rap genre is something for parents, a spot that needs to be shaded from — to be ceased to exist, this predominantly stems from institutionalised racism. The notion that is perceived as a sensible reaction is how the drugs that these people have consumed — irrespective of the truth— is something that can’t be shaken off of anyone’s mind. No one bothered to listen or hear these pieces out, like any form of musical expression, be it classical music or pop culture, music is always a tool to express, and let your emotions dance for itself, to the musician and the audience alike.
But culturally, classical music just by its nomenclature and more, is given hight importance, and priority, making it a shining star; this definitely requires us to actively engage in discussions on your views of high and low culture, which I would be excited to hear, because the prevailing idea to control societies with these dichotomy needs to end, preferably now.
Rap or other form of expressions need to be universally accessibly without it’s prejudiced taboo, the artists needs to be who they are, to hold their identity as thy want and we all need to understand their angst and respect it, and not just being apathetic about it, but validating them and regarding them with the same Honore given to Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, et cetra.
Let’s hear what A$AP Rocky, Eminem, Lil NasX, and other have to represent, because since beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, let’s appreciate the beauty that these artists have birthed, the passion, the emotions that they have put behind it.
And trying to not drag the same argument again and again, isn’t it prerogative for all of us to know these artists as well to better understand them, to acknowledge their struggle, to celebrate their success as well, because they deserve it; this doesn’t mean we could ignore the works of artists like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, or even bands, from Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, Nirvana and then some, these people are deserving of much more, but 2Pac, Fifty Cent, are also names that we can’t ignore.
We can’t ignore histories or pick-and-choose which history we need to show our support to, we need to bring all the collective history together, uplift them for everyone to see and carry the tradition without bigoted views about topics pertaining to the genre of rap.
is twitter not a free speech anymore ?
Twitter slams account of IT Minister Sir ‘Ravi Shankar Prasad’.
Recently there are multiple incidents happened in India that created conflict between Indian government and twitter itself.
News: – Twitter suspends account of Indian IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad for an Hour and gives her warning to not use copyright content.
History
It was all started with the suspension of account of lieutenant governor of jammu and kashmir when Twitter choose to show his first move by using the phrase we support free speech. And the overlooking of this instance make twitter think he has absolute control on his platform.
Incidents
- Banning account of Lt. of Jammu & Kashmir.
- Removal of Blue tick from the account of Vice-President of India.
- Copyright warning to Home Minister Amit Shah on his own Profile picture.
- And the latest suspension of account of Indian IT Minister.
Why Twitter is taking action only against Indian Government
Two theories have came on surface.
- Ceo of Jack Dorsey’s Ideology is affecting twitter’s current decisions. As Jack said once in his interviews that his ideology is left lening, further continues that his ideology won’t affect Twitter but as we can see that it is affecting in the chain of command.
- Taking a bulge against Indian government as showing their dissent against new IT rules.
Countries that slammed ‘Twitter’ in past.
There are multiple incidents happened in past but the most famous one’s are ban on twitter by Nigeria when twitter deletes a tweet of the President of Niger. Although they never said that that’s the official reason behind it. But it’s a open secret to everyone.
And the second famous incident of Permanent Ban of Twitter by China in 2009. Yes you heard it right twitter was not always ban in China, China claims that twitter was misused to create propoganda towards Uyighur Muslims.
What India can Do?
India is a democratic country we can not ban Twitter as a whole and it won’t be beneficial for India also as India is growing digital market and when Millions of Indian support a narrative it became reality.
Why India is not taking actions against twitter even Indian Liberals are asking it.
India is a member of Quad and already India is facing criticism with mishandling of Second Wave of covid-19. Indian government won’t want to be a subject of topic again for now may be.
So for now India can do these things :-
- Heavy fine on Twitter for such misbehavior conduct, like EU did in Past.
- Ban for a temporary time frame as we are reviewing the Twitter policies that is inclined towards ideology like Turkey.

Zero Budget Natural Farming
Zero Budget Natural Farming(ZBNF) is a chemical free agriculture drawing from traditional Indian practices. It marks a departure from the use of expensive chemical fertilizers , insecticides and pesticides.
Subash Palekar, known as the father of ZBNF introduced it in the mid 1990s to move away from the use of chemicals in farming as an alternative to Green Revolution method of use of fertilizers and intensive irrigation.
Need for ZBNF:
- Rising cost of agricultural inputs leads to indebtedness and suicide among farmers.
- Use of chemicals has a devastating impact on the environment and long term fertility of soil.
Features of ZBNF:
- Application of Jeevamrutha which is a mixture of fresh desi cow dung, aged desi cow urine, jaggery , pulse flour , water and soil on farmland. It is a fermented microbial culture that adds nutrients to the soil and acts as a catalytic agent to promote activity of microorganisms and earthworms in the soil. The requirement is of only one cow that too of Indian breed.
- Application of Bijamrutha to treat seeds to increase their chances of germination. It is a mixture of cow dung , cow urine, lime and water.
- For pest management and insects, a concoction is prepared using neem leaves and pulp, tobacco and green chillies .
Limitations concerning ZBNF:
- This method of farming is being debated. There is not much research going on about this .
- Many farmers reverted to conventional methods of farming after seeing drops in ZBNF returns.
Implementing States of ZBNF:
- Haryana – 80 acres in Gurukul, Kurukshetra
- Punjab – 1000 acres
- Karnataka – 10 Agro climate zones
- Andhra Pradesh – 5.01 lakh acres
- Himachal Pradesh – Across the state
INDUSTRIAL SICKNESS AND ITS CAUSES
It is nothing but state of industrial weakness or illness, that is the company fails to earn a reasonable profit. it is the continuos disportion in the debt equity ratio and falsification of the financial status of the industrial unit. it represents a stage where in the firm is not in a position to generate surplus on a regular basis and requires external credit, to survive in the market. when a unit is stick it shows signs of financial distress in the form of short term liquidity issues revenue and operating expenses.

CAUSES OF INDUSTRIAL SICKNESS:
EXTERNAL CAUSES:
NON AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS: when the supply of raw materials are not available regularly or in a good quality, the industrial units are bound to be in trouble. this often occurs in case of supply of imported raw materials.
HIGH PRICES OF INPUTS: when the cost of manufacture are high and sales realisation are low, the industrial unit cannot stand in the market. this happens when the prices of inputs such as price of fuel such as petroleum during energy crisis goesup whereas the competative forces keep down the prices of the products.
GOVERNAMENT POLICY: excessive governament control and restrictions of capital utilization, location, product mix, product quality, prices e.t.c, comes in the way of smooth functioning of the firms and often result in sickness to the firm.
INTERNAL CAUSES
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS: these problems are generally faced by small units. often the financial base of the small units are very weak. they generally borrow from their own sources or bank rather than approaching market. generally they are unable to meet their debt obligations in time and these debts accumulate.
FACULTY PLANNNG: mistakes in the planning stage are a major cause of industrial sickness. choice of faculty location is one such mistake. in case the unit is located at a place where basic infrastructure facilities are not available serious problems can arise.
MISMANAGEMENT: faculty management decisions and actions are a common cause of sickness in the small scale sector. poor maintenence of plant and machinery, lack of quality control system, absence of inventory management are some examples of mismanagement.
Social Dilemma !
Recently a Netflix documentary has stirred up a lot of controversies on the usage of social media I believe that some certain parts of our childhood went as an experiment into the growing of the technology. There was this certain period of time when all our answers were found in the libraries and not in the e- resource lab (computer lab). Our minds have changed in alternative way, changing the way we think and respond. And most importantly Concentration gap has considerably decreased for most of the teenagers due to their constant usage of phone. It has all turned us time some creature who no longer uses their brain, but just their fingertips.
Media, especially social media has turned around the way our minds work, we are no longer owners of our brain but we are its prisoners. Our minds have turned against ourselves. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations we cannot explain or relate too. It has passively affected the way our minds work. It got into our systema and rewired our brain. Quitting can come up as an easy solution but for long will you quit, give up on something that connects you to everyone.
One of the major problems of using internet is that we forget to rely on ourselves sometimes. Assignments, projects are now all googled up and copy pasted and submitted, the student no longer reads a book. Even if someone attempts too, their concentration span has gone down so low that they wontbe able to focus for more than 20 minutes. Are we on the path to self-destruction? That was a constantly asked question around the world. The technology that we build is now turning against us. The worst part of this is that we do not even realize how much of it has affected us and our mind.
A major impact social media has on teenagers is that it has wired our brains to believe that our potential lies in getting likes or comments from certain posts. Our brain functions in a way where it becomes happy with the mere likes we get on social media and it can turn into depression and a feeling of inferiority when we do not get likes. Social media creates a segregation between the rich and poor. It has become a platform where people show off what they have, this inflicts a sense of disappointment for the ones who do not own a luxury.
What makes human beings so much more different from other creatures on earth is the fact that they have a very capable and efficient brain. Across these years from the time of humanity, human beings have grown in lot of possible different ways. Human beings had made life smooth with various inventions, it has become so easy that we sometimes simply not use our brains anymore. Life had become so easy with the push of a button that we forget the entire process that had existed once before.
A major reason why we don’t get sleep is because of the tiny screens. We spend so much time using that we no longer become aware of the time. It can cause sleeping disorders as well as eye problems too.
Usage of phones have so much impact on our lives that we sometimes cannot give it up. We can simply never quit from this technological advancement, all we can do is adjust ourselves in a way that it doesn’t become an addiction.
WARLI- THE TRIBAL ART
Tribal art is the visual arts and material culture of indigenous people. Warli is one of the Tribal art forms. India is a place of culture and Warli is a cultural folk style art. It is created by the tribal people from North Sahyadri Range in Maharastra, India.
Warli painting traditions in Maharashtra are among the finest examples of folk culture. The Warli painting is created with the concept of Mother Nature and elements of nature. This type of painting was not discovered until the 1970s.Warli art is believed to have originated 2000years ago.
The Warli painter’s main way of their life is farming and a large source of food for the tribe. So they greatly respect nature and they create the Warli art by centering this. The Wrli artists use their clay huts as the canvas.Basically this art is too simple to draw. It is characterized as geometrical shapes. The walls are only decorated to mark special occasions like weddings,festivals or harvests.
For this painting the preparation should be great. According to the Warli artists, to draw Warli on the clay huts there is some pre – preparation . Firstly , the walls should be covered by cow-dung, next earth and lastly with the reddish-brown terracotta paste. Then a paste of powdered rice and gum has to be prepared and as pens the artists use a thin stick of Baharu tree. And the upcoming result is the Warli paint. One interesting thing is there is no straight line in the Warli paint. The art is usually crooked lines, dots , circle , square , triangles and others geometric design.
We must say that whoever discovers this art style he should be too intelligent because this art style has a symbol in every touch. This painting is a visual poetry where its evry symbols stand for a significance. Like, the circle represents the sun and moon. The square represents the sacred land and the triangle represents trees and mountains. Square is the central motif in most of this type of painting. There is one more thing by which you will be more interested that is the central motif of this paint is such as pottery sense of hunting , fishing or farming , dancing or festive mode etc. Actually this type of painting indicates the daily life of villagers , which is apart from other modern art styles. You can notice in this art the ‘Tarpa dance’- actually tarpa is like any instrument , different men play it turn by turn. When music plays the villagers including men and women join their hands and move in a circle around the tarpa players.
But here I have a point to tell you that Jivya Soma Mashe , is the artist in Thane district who has played a great role in making Warli paint famous.
But all art is disappearing in this digital life . it is a matter of concern but all are not the same in this world. A few kind hearted people are still the same as they were in the past , and keep this wonderful traditional culturing art. Thus we can mention a saviour of this culture , Govardhan Eco Village in Thane district that keeps this painting alive by providing Warli artists a platform to display their art. In 2016 a group of Japanese artists made an effort to keep this art alive. They adopted the Ganjad village in Palghar district. To promote this art , this Japanese group has also been decorating huts according to the formula of Warli paint. By the way, Dahanu is one more village to keep this painting alive .
Case study of women entrepreneurs who converted a business worth 80 rupees to 1600 crore rupees
This is the case study of a group of 7 women who converted 80 rupees into a 1600 crore rupees of business empire.The women belong to none other than “Shree Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Pappad ” group.This group expanded to 67 branches and as of now it employees more than 42000 people .So let’s get started ……
The business started 62 years ago back in 1950s when there were not a lot of people who could afford the luxury of being educated .The situation was difficult for women but this group of 7 women converted this difficulty into opportunity.
The group first started giving the lijjat Pappad to local stores and they were given the first capital of 80 rupees by a social worker.Due to the deliciousness of the pappads,other local stores also started buying the pappads from these group of womens.The goal of the group was not to make money ,but was to empower the women and provide the source of livelihood to the women.
The group used the concept of collective ownership.So regardless of which religion or caste you belonged to ,u could always get a small part/ownership in the company and hence collectively share the profits and losses amongst themselves.Even “Starbucks” uses the concept of collective ownership.It helps to keep the company employees motivated and encourages them to work hard as if one of them is not performing well and one of them faces a loss,then everybody will be at the loss.
The pappads which they made were cost effective,had quality production and was suitable for the homemakers.They used to prepare the pappads at their own houses to avoid the expenditure initially.
The most important reason behind the success of this group was that they always sticked to their mission and visions .Even a company like apple started failing when the company started moving away from their missions and visions.In the last 62 years, the group has never deviated from their missions and visions and have always followed the mission of “Sarvodhya” which literally means progress for all .Today we live in such a world that even billion dollar companies don’t think twice before asking their employees to leave the company and thus putting the lives of the employees as well as their families at risk .But this group has always stuck to their core values of inclusive progress for all and has from so many years not removed any of its employees from the service whether they suffered profits k losses.The group also makes sure that the children of their employees get proper education regardless of their age,caste,religion,sex,creed or color.
Despite the fact that this group was a group formed from uneducated womens, ,had a really small capital to start with ,,they stuck to their core values and is truely a motivating example for all of us .
Thank you!!
