Demonetization for Richer or for Poorer

Remember the times, when Baba Ramdev used to come on debates and fasten on his idea of economics and often suggests that ‘We should encourage small currency rather than big tenders’, The idea hark back live on the evening of 8th November, While taking a historical but stunning stand, The Union Government has decided to do away with Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes from midnight on 8th November. These notes will cease to be legal tender from the midnight of November 8, 2016, announced Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his television address to the nation on the same day. “The value of these notes becomes merely a paper,” he said in Hindi, adding that the move is to curb the circulation of counterfeit notes and fight black money.

A Tipping Point Missed

Before America and the world settle in firmly to the new Donald Trumpbased reality, let’s take a little trip down the road not taken. Suppose we had woken up last Wednesday morning to a President-elect Hillary Clinton. And let’s say that, instead of former Portuguese Prime Minister António Guterres, New Zealand’s Helen Clark or Bulgaria’s Kristalina Georgieva had been picked to succeed Ban Ki-moon as United Nations Secretary-General.Clinton would have joined the United Kingdom’s Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, helping achieve critical mass in the G7. And a female UN Secretary General would have placed women at the helm of two of the world’s three biggest international organizations (France’s Christine Lagarde already runs the International Monetary Fund).

Opportunities in Higher Education

The whole article is divided into 3 parts i.e. Opportunities in higher education, need of global tie ups and research based education. So let’s start with the first one that is opportunity in higher education.Its pity to see that, only 8% of the population reaches to the level of higher education.

Coping With Exam Stress

The exam season is inevitably associated with words like stress, tension, worries and pressures in our minds. Be it when the exams are approaching, ongoing or when awaiting the exam results. Moreover, the stress levels increase not only for the students, but also for their parents, teachers, tutors, family members at large! However, the ultimate onus eventually falls back on the student, who is responsible for not only working towards performing successfully in the exams, but also to be able to manage the accompanying stressors eff ectively. Furthermore, besides the academic workloads, these additional stressors could vary from the worry of their parents, the expectations of the teachers, the comparison and competition with their peers, or the nagging from their tutors.

The Arithmetics Of Cashless India

Economist, Prasenjit Bose says,” Making India completely digital and going cashless is not possible right now. For that to happen, we need financial literacy. More importantly, we need digital literacy. We can’t force people to go digital in a country where two-thirds of the population reside in villages. Almost a quarter of the rural populace doesn’t have mobile phones, let alone smartphones. Many villagers do not have a bank account. They do not know how to open an account. Yet, we are forcing people to go cashless due to demonetization. That’s not the way to use technology. Basically, it is created for urban India and we can’t impose it on everyone.”
