Indian Postal Service

The Department of Posts (DOP),trading as India Post, is a government-operated postal system in India, which is a subsidiary of the Ministry of Communications. Generally called “the Post Office” in India, it is the most widely distributed postal system in the world. Founded in 1854 by Lord Dalhousie who laid the foundation for the modern Indian postal service. Dalhousie introduced uniform postage rates (universal service) and helped to pass the India Post Office Act 1854 which significantly improved upon 1837 Post Office act which had introduced regular post offices in India. It created the position Director General of Post for the whole country.

It is involved in delivering mail (post), remitting money by money orders, accepting deposits under Small Savings Schemes, providing life insurance coverage under Postal Life Insurance (PLI) and Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI) and providing retail services like bill collection, sale of forms, etc. The DoP also acts as an agent for Government of India in discharging other services for citizens such as old age pension payments and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) wage disbursement. With 155,015 post offices, India Post has the most widely distributed postal network in the world.

The country has been divided into 23 postal circles, each circle headed by a Chief Postmaster General. Each circle is divided into regions, headed by a Postmaster General and comprising field units known as Divisions. These divisions are further divided into subdivisions. In addition to the 23 circles, there is a base circle to provide postal services to the Armed Forces of India headed by a director-general. One of the highest post offices in the world is in Hikkim, Himachal Pradesh operated by India Post at a height of 14,567 ft (4,440 m).

Many a times we use essential services of an organization without knowing details of source. MBA Aspirants are expected to have curiosity to know even the known but unknown organization like Indian Postal service.   

The Indian Postal Service, known as India Post, was founded in 1774 and today, it has over 100,000 post offices all over the country. In fact, India has the largest postal network in the world, with close to 90% of the post offices located in rural areas. The Indian Postal Service comes under the Department of Posts, which is a part of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.

India Post offers both retail and financial services to over one billion people in India. Apart from providing bill mail, direct mail and retail mail services, India Post also provides the e-Payment service through which organizations can collect their bills and other payments from customers across the country.   

India Post has changed the way people look at post offices – in the past, a post office was simply a place for people to post letters; however, today, India Post has partnerships with other organizations such as the Indian Railways and HDFC Bank to provide other services too. Now, people can book train tickets at selected post offices through the India Post Passenger Reservation System and purchase foreign currency and travelers cheques with the India Post Forex Service. Gone are the days when organizations would only provide a service or two. To stay ahead of the competition and to provide better service to the public, both government organizations and private companies are diversifying their services, and India Post is no stranger to this business model.   

Some of the popular financial services offered by India Post are the Post Office Savings Schemes and the Postal Life Insurance. In fact, the Post Office savings bank is the oldest and the largest banking system in the country, providing services to both rural and urban dwellers.   

Financial services at India Post are offered as an agency service for the Ministry of Finance and they have helped millions of people nationwide. India Post keeps up with the trends in the industry and has come up with remittance schemes to help people living in India to transfer money to their family and friends abroad and vice-versa.   

The business of Indian Postal Service is growing by leaps and bounds, which is why the organization is keen on establishing the “Post Bank of India”, an independent entity with complete focus on financial products and services. With the advent of technology, many people, especially those in urban areas, have started sending electronic mails, which not only saves time but also money. This is one of the reasons why majority of the post offices are located in rural parts of India. However, this does not mean that the demand for postal services in India is decreasing.   

In fact, with the diversification of services, the Indian Postal Service has managed to increase its customer base and enhance its revenue significantly. Today, the Indian Postal Service employs over 450,000 people and generates revenue of over Rs 70,000 million on an annual basis. With greater investments in IT infrastructure and diversification of its product portfolio, the Indian Postal Service will be able to cross the Rs 100,000 million mark in a few years.

Democracy

India is a democratic country. But do we all know what democracy actually is?What it is all about?

Democracy is the most significant topic in political science as well as political philosophy, and a generally accepted view. Democracy, or rule by the people, is an unrestricted form of government in which all the inhabitants of a nation determine public policy, the laws, and the actions of their state together. Democracy requires that all citizens have an equal opportunity to express their opinion. Practically, democracy is the extent to which a given system approximates this ideal, and a given political system is referred to as a democracy if it allows a certain approximation to ideal democracy. Although no country has ever granted all its citizens the right to vote, most countries today hold regular elections based on egalitarian principles, at least in theory.


Features of Democracy:

  1. Citizen Rule
    A democratic government grants adult citizens the right to elect their representatives. It also establishes clear guidelines for election cycles and term limits so that key positions are contested at regular intervals. Through this process of voting, citizens are regularly given the ability to hire or fire their representatives.
  2. Majority Rule and Minority Rights
    The principle of majority rule is an important part of the democratic system. The majority rules in the election process, but individual rights are protected by the maintenance of decentralized, local government bodies. In a democracy, all levels of government should be accessible to, and representative of, the people.
  3. Individual Rights
    Democracies value the protection of individual rights. The word freedom is used synonymously with democracy to describe individual liberties afforded in this type of government. In the U.S., the Bill of Rights serves as a summary of individual liberties. Freedom of speech and religion, protection from unlawful search and seizure and the right to bear arms are examples of individual liberties, afforded in a democracy. Equal treatment, under the law, is assured for everyone in a democratic society.
  4. Free and Fair Elections
    The key to the exercise of democracy is the election process. Free and fair elections are held at regular intervals for the election of representatives at all levels of government. In a free, democratic election, all adult citizens are given the right to cast votes which, in theory, ensures that the will of the people will be expressed.
  5. Citizen Participation
    Citizens of a democracy not only have the right to vote, but also the responsibility to participate. Informed participation is key in a democracy. When the people elect their representatives, they are ensuring the preservation of the democratic process Engaged citizenship is essential in a healthy democracy.
  6. Cooperation and Compromise
    Democracies also value cooperation and compromise to protect individual rights. To adequately safeguard diversity, and accurately represent all communities, a democracy must protect the right to be different. Anti-discrimination is at the heart of a true democracy. The freedom to assemble and voice opinion drives government accountability to ensure that underrepresented people have the same rights as the majority.
    Types of Democracy

Direct Democracy
A direct democracy is when citizens get to vote for a policy directly, without any intermediate representatives or houses of parliament. If the government has to pass a certain law or policy, it goes to the people. They vote on the issue and decide the fate of their own countries. The people can even bring up issues themselves, as long as they have a substantial consensus on the issue. Even taxes cannot be raised without the public support!
When the population is small, educated and mostly homogeneous (at least politically), a direct democracy doesn’t seem like a bad idea. Switzerland, for example, has had a long history of a successful direct democracy.

Representative Democracy


Representative democracy is type of democracy founded on the norm of elected people representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy. In modern democratic states, representatives are voted for by, and are ultimately accountable to the electorate. Different methods of selecting representatives are described in the article on electoral systems, but often a number of representatives are elected by, and responsible to, a particular subset of the total electorate: this is called his or her constituency. The representatives form an independent ruling body charged with the responsibility of acting in the people’s interest, with enough authority to exercise swift and resolute initiative in the face of changing circumstances.
Representative Democracy is typically associated with Liberal Democracy which describes the political system which originated in the USA and Western Europe and has subsequently been adopted in numerous Third World countries and may gradually be well established in the former USSR and its former satellites in Eastern Europe. Liberal Democratic regimes may be classified as either Presidential or Parliamentary systems and there are also important variations within these broad categories.

Participatory Democracy


The exact opposite of an authoritarian democracy is the participatory form of democracy. There are different types of participatory democracy, but all of them yearn to create opportunities for all members of a population to make meaningful contributions to the decision-making process. It empowers the dis-empowered by breaking up the state into small networks and prefers to empower community-based grassroots politics. It values deliberation and discussion, rather than merely voting.
Today, no country actively practices this form of democracy. Although the theories behind it are sound, the real-life application of this approach is fraught with complications. However, many social movements, like the international Occupy movement, the Bolivarian movement in Venezuela and the Narmada Bachao Andolan in India organize themselves around a participatory model of democracy.

Social Democracy


Social Democracy arose as a reaction to neoliberal policies in international economics. Under neoliberalism, profit-making entities like multinational corporations can easily infiltrate other political states. They maintain a level of sovereignty and mobility that no government can counter. The power of the political state seems flimsy in comparison.
Social Democracy aims at empowering the state over the mere whims of the neoliberal market. The state can increase its expenditure by providing free alternatives to overpriced private ventures. It may focus on providing free education or free healthcare, so that people don’t have to depend on profit-making corporations.

Differences between Democracy and Dictatorship:

  1. In a democracy the leaders of the party control most of their votes, but they still have to answer to their political party and the voters. In a dictatorship there is just one leader who has total control over the party and the country. Often propaganda, as well as genuine support, may paint them as the people’s hero.
  2. In a democracy political parties represent different points of view and compete for the votes of the electorate. In a democracy political power is secured by winning a fair election. In a dictatorship the government strictly control all the aspects of the state.
  3. In a democracy newspapers are free to print the truth and can criticise the government when mistakes are made or if there is disagreement. A dictatorship completely disregards the rights of individual citizens. The government and state will try to control all citizens through laws, police, spying and force. The government and state is the most important thing to a dictatorship.
  4. In a democracy there is usually less control over the films and books people can enjoy. In a dictatorship there is only one party, all opposition is destroyed and banned. Totalitarian states don’t allow opposition or elections.
  5. In a democracy the government has less control over people’s choice and belief. People are free to join clubs, political parties and other groups. The government in a dictatorship controls every element of people’s lives, including radio, cinema and newspapers.

DGCA extends fare capping, restricted operations of domestic passenger flights till November 24

New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA on Friday (July 24) said that the fare cap on domestic flights will continue until November 24, 2020, or until further orders. The decision comes after Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri during a press briefing had said that the price cap on domestic routes will be applicable well beyond August 24.
In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the aviation ministry implemented a cap on domestic airfare in May.
On May 21, the aviation regulator DGCA issued the government-decided fare limits for these bands — domestic flights with less than 40-minute duration to have lower and upper limits of Rs 2,000 and Rs 6,000, for 40-60 minutes Rs 2,500 and Rs 7,500, for 60-90 minutes Rs 3,000 and Rs 9,000, for 90-120 minutes Rs 3,500 and Rs 10,000, for 120-150 minutes Rs 4,500 and Rs 13,000, and for 150-180 minutes Rs 5,500 and Rs 15,700.
In addition, DGCA has also extended domestic flight restrictions until November 24, 2020.
It is worth mentioning that the government had decided to enhance domestic flying to 45 per cent in June from the initial 33 per cent level which had been in place since domestic flying restarted on May 25.
All domestic, as well as international flights, were suspended due to the nationwide lockdown which was imposed due to the outbreak of Coronavirus in the country.

Earlier, the aviation secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola had said that the base minimum airfare of domestic flights ranges from Rs 2,000 to Rs 6,500, and the maximum range from Rs 6,000 to Rs 18,600. Airlines have to make available 40 per cent of total seats in an aircraft at less than the mid-point price between the highest and lowest fares.

Civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri earlier said the move will mean that the lowest fare between Delhi and Mumbai, the busiest route in the country, will be capped at Rs 3,500 and Rs 10,000 at the higher end.

Kolkata airport suspends passenger flight operations from July 25 to July 29

Kolkata airport suspends passenger flight operations from July 25 to July 29

Passenger flight operations to and from Kolkata Airport have been suspended from July 25 to July 29 after the West Bengal government requested for the suspension of services, news agency ANI reported quoting West Bengal Airport sources. The West Bengal government has decided to impose a biweekly complete lockdown in the state to break the chain of COVID-19 transmission.

When asked if the rule would be extended to all those days when the total shutdown is enforced, the official said that was a possibility, but an announcement in this regard will be made by the state government.

“Most probably, it will be extended to all lockdown days. But the state government will make an announcement. As of now, these two dates have been confirmed. No flights to operate on July 25 and 29,” the official added.

Last week, the ban on passenger flights to Kolkata from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Nagpur and Ahmedabad was extended till July 31.

The Entire Earth Is Vibrating Less Due to COVID-19 Lockdowns, Study Reveals

In a study conducted in 117 countries, researchers have found that the world is experiencing the most dramatic reduction in the seismic noise (the hum of vibrations in the planet’s crust) in recorded history due to global Covid-19 lockdowns.

Measured by instruments called seismometers, seismic noise is caused by vibrations within the Earth, which travel like waves and the waves can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanoes, and bombs – but also by daily human activity like travel and industry.

This quiet period, likely caused by the total global effect of social distancing measures, closure of services and industry, and drops in tourism and travel, the study published in the journal Science, reported.

The new research, led by the Royal Observatory of Belgium and five other institutions around the world including Imperial College London (ICL), showed that the dampening of ‘seismic noise’ caused by humans was more pronounced in more densely populated areas.

“Our study uniquely highlights just how much human activities impact the solid Earth, and could let us see more clearly than ever what differentiates human and natural noise,” said study co-author Stephen Hicks from ICL in the UK.

For the findings, the research team looked at seismic data from a global network of 268 seismic stations in 117 countries and found significant noise reductions compared to before any lockdown at 185 of those stations.

Researchers tracked the ‘wave’ of quietening between March and May as worldwide lockdown measures took hold.

The largest drops in vibrations were seen in the most densely populated areas, like Singapore and New York City, but drops were also seen in remote areas like Germany’s the Black Forest and Rundu in Namibia.

Citizen-owned seismometers, which tend to measure more localised noise, noted large drops around universities and schools around Cornwall, UK and Boston, US – a drop in noise 20 per cent larger than seen during school holidays.

The findings showed that countries like Barbados, where lockdown coincided with the tourist season, saw a 50 per cent decrease in noise.

“The changes have also given us the opportunity to listen in to the Earth’s natural vibrations without the distortions of human input,” the study authors wrote.

Earlier in April, a study published in the journal Nature, reported at least a 30 per cent reduction in that amount of ambient human noise since lockdown began in Belgium.

Restriction on domestic flights to remain in effect till November 24

The civil aviation ministry on Thursday extended the restrictions on domestic flights till November 24 in the view of the coronavirus pandemic. A notification by the ministry issued in the evening also said that the domestic airfare cap, too, will remain in place till November 24 or until further orders.

Domestic flights were suspended on March 25 as the government announced a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the disease. Union aviation minister Hardeep Puri had earlier this month said that he hoped that the number of domestic flights will reach 55 – 60 percent of the pre-coronavirus levels by Diwali this year.

He had also noted a continuous improvement in the domestic air traffic while stating that it had more than doubled by early July from the 30,000 fliers, who boarded flights on May 25, when phased reopening of the sector began after two months of suspension.

 No flight operations at Kolkata airport on July 25, 29

In an effort to boost the domestic sector, the ministry had last month cleared an increase in capacity of flight operations to 45% from 33% allowed previously. The Centre had capped domestic flights to a third of their approved summer schedule in an order passed on May 21.

The government has maintained that it aims to further open up domestic routes in a calibrated fashion.

According to ministry data, a total of 1,613 domestic flights operated on July 22 carrying 1,23,475 passengers.

For Coronavirus Live Updates

The domestic aviation industry is facing financial losses as they are operating at limited capacity with fares capped for different sectors. The poor load factor has also impacted the industry’s capacity to exploit their allowed quota of flights.

Country’s prominent private carrier IndiGo has decided to lay off 10% of its employees and a global aviation consultancy, CAPA, has predicted that a couple of Indian airlines may go out of business due to the current financial pressure.

Asia’s largest Solar Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh

By Udbhav Bhargava

Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had laid the foundation stone in December 2017. The solar plant will generate 750 MW electricity and was established with an investment of Rs 4,500 crore.

WHO DEVELOPED THE PROJECT?

The solar park was founded by Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Ltd (RUMSL), a joint venture between the Indian Solar Energy Corporation and MP Urja Vikas Nigam, with a 50 per cent stake on both sides. This project consists of three 250 MW solar electricity generating units each located on a 500-hectare plot of land located within a Solar Park (in the total area of 1500-hectare). This project would reduce carbon emissions equal to about 15,00,000 tons of CO2 each year.

Rs 138 crore has been granted by central financial assistance to RUMSL for the establishment of the Park. This is the first project in India to receive support from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF). This is the country’s first solar plant to crack the “grid parity barrier”. The Rewa project achieved the first-year tariff of Rs 2.97 per unit with a tariff escalation of Rs 0.05 per unit over 15 years compared with solar project tariffs of around Rs 4.50 per unit in early 2017.

WHO WILL UTILISE THE ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM THE PROJECT?

 It will be the first clean energy project outside the state to bring to institutional clients. Delhi Metro will harvest 24 of the project’s capacity. The remaining 76 percent is being supplied to Madhya Pradesh ‘s state distribution firms. The project also won a Creativity and Excellence Award from World Bank Group Chief. It was included in the Prime Minister’s ‘A Book of Innovation: New Beginnings’.

WHY THE PROJECT IS IMPORTANT?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the national target of achieving 100 GW of solar power generation potential by 2022 when India completes 75 years of its independence from British rule.

SOLAR PARK INITIATIVE The solar park is a focused area for the construction of projects for solar power generation and provides developers with an environment that is well defined, with adequate facilities and access to services and where project risk can be reduced. Solar Park is also helping developers by raising the amount of approvals required. It was planned to set up at least 25 solar parks, each with a capacity of 500 MW and above; Thereby targeting around 20,000 MW of solar power installed capacity.

CASTE POLITICS IN INDIA

Caste is a social marvel of Indian culture. By taking an interest in the cutting edge political framework, standing is presently presented to troublesome impacts and another type of joining coming about because of another plan of universalist-particularity connections. caste has increased a compelling situation in India legislative issues.From one viewpoint, a structure of divisions and facilities, station gives to legislative issues. Furthermore, then again a strong component which retains strains and dissatisfaction. It becomes troublesome when question emerges of national solidarity. Yet, with respect to an area or gathering matter, it gives a durable power by joining individuals of a station.

The development job of position affiliation are likewise assuming as significant job in impacting casting a ballot design. Indeed, even ideological groups are thinking about rank as a vote bank. This empowered the lower positions to be politically powerful based on numerical dominance. In choosing possibility for decisions, ideological groups regularly offering thought to the standing creation of bodies electorate. At times a few standings are utilizing legislative issues in their endeavor to better their conditions or to accomplish their objective. Among the major disruptive powers influencing the commonwealth, standing remains the considerable one. It alludes to an inscription arrangement of status and order. Its central qualities are pecking order, commonality, limitations on marriage and innate occupation.

Its predominance is seen by M.N. Srinivas “Caste is so tacitly and so completely accepted by all, including those most vocal in condemning it, that it is everywhere the unit of social action.” British dealt with India by playing one caste or network against the other, their arrangement of training and organization helped in individualizing the Indian culture. In any case, while auxiliary and useful angles experienced change, political measurement strike its root. After the Independence, position started to get new turn in Indian legislative issues. Talking about the connection among standing and legislative issues, Rajni Kothari brings up three measurements.

Caste Factor in Political Socialization and Leadership Recruitment:

Distinctive position bunches host their loyalties behind various political gatherings and their belief systems. Directly from his introduction to the world, an Indian resident acquires a caste and grows up as an individual from a specific position gathering. He has a place either with one of the High Castes or to Scheduled Castes. During the time spent getting his political directions, disposition and convictions, he normally goes under the impact of rank gatherings and caste-ism. ‘Standing qualities’ and station intrigues impact his socialization and therefore his political reasoning, mindfulness and interest. He banks upon rank solidarity for possessing and playing out an influential position. Station impacts the procedure of administration enrollment. This is especially valid for profoundly ‘standing cognizant’s kin of certain states like Haryana, Bihar, UP, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. In Haryana, the initiative comes either from the Jaats or from the Bishnois or Brahmins. In Andhra Pradesh, the Reddys, Kammas and Valamas give state pioneers.

Caste is a constituent of the Indian party framework. Some ideological groups have an immediate caste premise while others by implication bank upon specific station gatherings. Specifically, the provincial ideological groups stand overwhelmingly impacted by the position factor. The DMK and AIADMK are non-Brahmin rather against Brahmin ideological groups of Tamil Nadu. In Punjab, Akali Dal has a network pantheistic character yet stands impacted by the issue of Jaats versus non-Jaats. Every ideological group in India use station as a methods for making sure about votes in decisions. While the BSP banks upon the help of the Scheduled Castes, the BJP generally banks upon its prevalence among the high caste Hindus and the exchanging network.

Susanne H. Rudolphs, “the caste association provides the channel of communication and bases of leadership and organization which enables those still submerged in the traditional society and culture to transcend the technical political literacy which would otherwise handicap their ability to participate in democratic politics.” Caste stays a focal component of Indian culture and has energetic impact on vote based legislative issues.In practically all parts of life, caste considerations keep on having definitive job.

Development and Environment Protection Together?

Mahatma Gandhi once said that “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” and this statement gives us reflect about the sort of advancement we need as an individual, one which can satisfy our necessities or one which can satisfy our covetousness. in the event that we need to get our requests satisfied, we have to regard the unstoppable force of life so our requirements can be tended to essentially.

With the changing time the need of individual has likewise changed. These changing needs are the reason for the improvement in different parts of life which was seen by the development of human. Chasing and assembling for food, imagining fire to cook, making hovels for cover, doing horticultural practices and so on are the different advancements through which early man went over. Since the modern upset, the quick improvement was seen over the world which brings about fast corruption of nature. In the journey of improvement, man disregarded the very condition which is essential for continuing the life on the planet earth.

The earth has been antagonistically influenced by the development of the world. The formative procedures like building dams, manufacturing plants and ventures, houses, schools and universities requires huge regions which is satisfied by deforestation for example chopping down of the timberland’s. The deforestation prompts natural surroundings loss of numerous creature species, pulverizing numerous therapeutic plants and spices, sea fermentation, soil disintegration, and so forth upsets the ecological parity.

Likewise, the smokes discharged by vehicles and industrial facilities, dumping of hurtful squanders in the dirt and releasing it into the water bodies closes into dirtying nature.

Reasonable improvement is critical to deliver suitable answer for these issues. in any case, it is conceivable dispose of these difficulties and ongoing case of this is utilizing bio-fuel rather than non-renewable energy source. it tends to be seen that there has been effective trial of first bio-filled business flight. we are achieving our necessities of vitality from sustainable wellspring of vitality rather than customary petroleum product. we will be breathing natural air and increasingly sound way of life. likewise we will be building up our G.D.P. by maintainable improvement alongside smart use of regular assets. improvement with insurance of condition is conceivable and suitable which is a method of better living for our future and for age to come

The Social issue of Child Labour

 

The children should not have to work is universally accepted, but there are no universal answer why the problem of child labour persist and how it needs to be tackled. India is faced with the crucial task of eliminating the child labour which is prevalent in all spheres of life. Thousands of children are engaged in the carpet factories, glass factories and other hazardous industries all over the country.

The term child labour has generally two-fold interpretations. Firstly, it is implied to be an economic necessity of poor households and secondly, the explosive aspect in children‟s work concerned with the profit maximizing urge of commercial establishment wherein children are made to work for long hours, paid low remuneration and deprived of educational opportunities.

International Labour Organisation (ILO) defines child labour to “… include children leading permanently adult lives, working long hours for low wages under conditions damaging to their health and physical and mental development, sometime separated from their families, frequently deprived of meaningful educational and training opportunities that could be open up to them a better future”.

Reasons For Child Labour:
There are many reasons for the existence of child labour and it varies with place and place to place. In India, poverty is one of the important factors for poverty, but it‟s not the sole factor. Children provide cheap labour, the person who wants labour has to pay less to them than adult labour. The child can be commanded more than an adult. The pull factor of the child labour is the profit maximization.

The main causes to failure to control the child labour are; poverty, low wages than adult, unemployment, absence of schemes for family allowance, migration to urban areas, large family size, children being cheaply available, non existence of strict provisions for compulsory education, illiteracy, ignorance of parents and traditional attitudes.

Child Labour In India:
India accounts for the second highest number where child labour in the world is concerned. Africa accounts for the highest number of children employed and exploited. The fact is that across the length and breadth of the nation, children are in a pathetic condition.

Child labour in India is a human right issue for the whole world. It is a serious and extensive problem, with many children under the age of fourteen working in carpet making factories, glass blowing units and making fireworks with bare little hands. According to the statistics given by Indian government there are 20 million Child labours in the country, while other agencies claim that it is 50 million.

The situation of Child labours in India is desperate. Children work for eight hours at a stretch with only a small break for meals. The meals are also frugal and the children are ill nourished. Most of the migrant children, who cannot go home, sleep at their work place, which is very bad for their health and development. Seventy five percent of Indian population still resides in rural areas and are very poor. Children in rural families who are ailing with poverty perceive their children as an income generating resource to supplement the family income. Parents sacrifice their children‟s education to the growing needs of their younger siblings in such families and view them as wage earners for the entire clan.

In Northern India the exploitation of little children for labour is an accepted practice and perceived by the local population as a necessity to alleviate poverty. Carpet weaving industries pay very low wages to Child labours and make them work for long hours in unhygienic conditions. Children working in such units are mainly migrant workers from Northern India, who are shunted here by their families to earn some money and send it to them. Their families dependence on their income, forces them to endure the onerous work conditions in the carpet factories.

While experts blame the system, poverty, illiteracy, adult unemployment; yet the fact is that the entire nation is responsible for every crime against a child. Instead of nipping the problem at the bud, child labour in India was allowed to increase with each passing year. And today, young ones below the age of 14 have become an important part of various industries; at the cost of their innocence, childhood, health and for that matter their lives.

Indian Constitution And Child Labour:
Article 23 of Indian Constitution prohibits the trafficking in human beings and forced labour. And Article 24 prohibits the employment of children in factories. It says that No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed to work in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment.

The general understanding was that right secured by Article 24 will hardly be effective in the absence of legislation prohibiting and penalising its violation. However, Supreme Court clearly stated that Article 24 “must operate proprio vigour” even if the prohibition lay down in it is not “followed up by appropriate legislation.” In Labourers, Salal Hydro Project v. State of J&K it was again held that the employment of children below 14 in construction work violates Article 24.

It was noted in M C Mehta v. State of Tamilnadu, that menace of child labour was wide spread. Therefore it issued wide ranging directions in the context of employment and exploitation of children in Sivakasi, prohibiting employment of children below the age of 14 and making arrangement for their education by creating a fund and providing employment to the parents or the able bodied adults in the family. These directions were reiterated in Bandhu Mukti Morcha v. Union of India, concerning the employment of children in carpet weaving industry in U.P.

The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing the health and strength of workers, men and women, and the tender age of children are not abused and that citizens are not forced by economic necessity to enter avocations unsuited to their age or strength. Also the State shall, direct its policy towards securing the given opportunities and facilities to develop in a healthy manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity and that childhood and youth are protected against exploitation and against moral and material abandonment to the children.

Article 45 of Indian Constitution made provision for early childhood care and education to children below the age of six years. As per this Article the State shall endeavours to provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years.

How to Become Rich Faster than Others (Practical Steps)

Everybody wants to become RICH one day.

Still, how is it that some people have all the answers? How do the rich keeping getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer? Is the game actually rigged against us? Are we, in fact, doomed to live ordinary lives, merely controlled by our hedonistic desires and pleasures, forced to succumb to our animalistic urges, never able to actually get ahead in life, let alone get rich? Or, is there some solution? A way out, if you will? 

How to Become a Millionaire and Get Rich the Right Way

Clearly, these are questions posed by the masses. But not everyone can pull it off. What separates those who seem to have all the answers from those that are constantly jumping from one ship to the next, never able to truly find their gravy train? Well, the answers are far simpler than most would imagine. 

Don’t spend more money than you make.

 Not many people follow this advice. Many are focused on spending as much as possible. Whether it’s to revel in the perception of being more well-off than they actually are, or some other purpose, this is the truth across much of the developed world. 

Keep a Diary of your Expenses.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.”

As easy as it might seem to ignore the little stuff, so to speak, the more you sweat the details, the better off you’ll be. Cancel that gym membership you haven’t used in six months. Eliminate that costly cable television plan. Stop buying expensive lattes and eating out when you know you can’t afford to do it. Download an app or purchase a small notebook and track every expense no matter how small or how big. 

Quit all the Bad Habits- drinking, smoking, gambling, etc.

Bad habits hold us back from achieving many kinds of goals. They stop us from losing weight, making more money, saving, investing and everything in between. The only way you can actually get ahead in life is to decimate those bad habits. You need to quit the bad habits before they lead you down a deathly spiral. 

It’s hard to achieve something that takes so much of your energy, such as getting rich, without eliminating your bad habits first. I’m not just talking about poor financial habits; I’m also talking about any other habit that eats away at you, physically, emotionally or mentally. 

Save 20 % of your Income every Month.

In order to get rich, you need to save at least 20 percent of your income off the top. Everyone has heard this before, but how many people actually follow this advice? 

The term “pay yourself first” holds major weight here. While some don’t find the importance in this, others realize that this not only provides a rainy-day fund in case of emergencies, but also moment-of-the-opportunity cash. When the right opportunity comes by, you need cash to seize it. If you don’t have the cash, you just missed the proverbial boat. 

Pay-Off your Debts.

When you’re debt-free from the bad debt (not the good debt like mortgages for investment properties and loans to grow you business, for example), take that money and put it towards your savings. The trick is not to go spending cash and splurging on a vacation or a new car once you’re debt-free. Stay focused. 

Don’t Rent but Own your House.

No matter what it takes, even if you have to downgrade your living situation, you should do what it takes to purchase a home. Sit down with a mortgage broker and assess your situation. Set some goals and create a plan of action.

Even if you don’t have enough money saved for a down payment right now, figure out what it’s going to take to buy your home. We’re not talking about your dream home here. However, over time, the money spent on your mortgage is far better invested than money spent paying rent. 

Invest, but only after Researching the hell out of it.

Many people invest for the sake of it. If you don’t have proper knowledge about the plans your investment offers then you might never really grow your money in it. The better you know an industry or niche, the more likely you’ll be able to spot ideas that could possibly create massive amounts of income for you in the future. No one else is going to do this for you. And when you do invest in something that you know, be sure to track it vehemently.

Multiple source of income but not mainstream.

Anyone who’s serious about getting rich needs to build multiple streams of passive income. Passive income is incredibly important when it comes to amassing wealth. Simply put, you to need to generate your income on autopilot if you want to create a considerable net worth. 

There are a number of passive income generating ideas that you could implement. Some of the most popular involve real estate and dividend income for those that can afford the often high-cost barrier of entry into those fields. Others opt for generating passive income by starting a blog, creating digital products such as e-books or courses, and even creating online tutorials, just to name a few examples.

Time Value of Money.

We all have the same amount of time in this world. You don’t have more than the next person and that person doesn’t have more time than another. No matter if they’re a powerful politician, a business magnate or a famous athlete, they don’t have more time than you do. Time is life’s greatest equalizer. 

It all depends on how you utilize your time. Every second is precious. Become lazy or procrastinate and lose your dream of being rich.

Rome was not built in a day.

Daily goal setting provides milestones on your way to your bigger goals. Break the big goal down to achievable daily goals that won’t seem so overwhelming. For example, if you want a $10 million dollar net worth in the next five or 10 years, figure out what it’s going to take on a daily basis to move closer to that goal. 

Starting new life

If I were given a chance to start my life, it would be something which I am dreaming right now. Might be, waking up early and wearing track suit, going for a walk then coming back and drinking a glass of healthy juice.I wish to put on some music and dancing on it’s beat. Enjoying a healthy breakfast with family on dinning table is the best to start the day.

I would do everything to make myself feel alive whether it’s like grabbing a cup of coffee along with a book in my own personalised garden or meditating in a peaceful environment that too designed by me. I want to just get myself lost in those things which adds spark to my life and don’t wish to have any regret later on.

A good relationship means that you are having a good life. Being surrounded with loving wife, supportive in-laws, bright kids and trustworthy friends what else I could have asked the God. not but least, I would love this lifestyle every day and thanksing god for showering all his blessings upon me whether may be if it is healthy food, relations, friends and materialistic things.
