We’ve been trapped in our houses for six weeks now. The terminology ‘lockdown’ itself is quite overwhelming and gives a sense of being trapped.  The economy is suffering; so are we. It is  affecting our mental health. Yes, the coronavirus is deadly. But so is the lockdown — it will undoubtedly kill people. The restrictions are also having a very real effect on our happiness, health and wellbeing, from joblessness, loneliness and all the myriad knock-on effects. So which is worse? The economy consists of people’s lives, in a very direct way: if you stop people working, you make their lives worse; their businesses go under, they fall behind on rent or mortgages, they can’t afford to buy the things they want or need.    Countries around the world are implementing various measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus. India is one of the countries that have implemented the world’s largest and  most restrictive mass quarantines.   India first impose 21 Day nationwide lockdown star

In layman’s terms, artificial intelligence means to give robots and machines the ability to think by analyzing data-based information, behavior, or any characteristics. Elon Musk during his speech at MIT in 2014 compared artificial intelligence as summoning the demon and has quoted "I do think we need to be very careful about the advancement of AI".  However, some potential billionaires in the tech world don’t conclude A.I as Elon Musk does. Resultantly, the pull of heavy investment and acqui-hire by the start-ups is being witnessed from some significant market players like Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft and tech giants. In the present scenario, A.I. has been a prime-focus in building automation to compensate for human accuracy where there is a lack of man-power and constant efforts are being made in areas where human intelligence can be replaced. For instance, healthcare, sales, logistics, research, data analytics and several others are the corners of the world where

Currently the situation between India and China is not good on the border. This is the reason why the confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on 16 th June has decided and mentioned that they are going to boycott 500 “Made in China” products. The products include furniture, textiles, cosmetic, gift items, electronics, fabrics, kitchen items, watches, toys, hardware, apparel, auto parts etc., which are being boycotted by the CAIT, News-18 reported.

The first phase has focused on the products that can be made in India but the price has been deciding factor when importing. CAIT National President BC Bharita and National General Secretary Praveen Khandelwal said that there is no need for any spe

With its $ 5.7 billion investment, Facebook is now Reliance Jio’s largest minority shareholder. This was accompanied by a pact between WhatsApp and Reliance Retail to boost the latter’s JioMart platform.  However, Facebook has been spreading its roots in digital media market by making heavy investments like,   The social media giant bought Instagram for $1 billion in 2012,   WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014,   and virtual reality firm Oculus VR the same year for another $2 billion.   In all three instances, the common denominators were obvious. The deals all gave Facebook majority of ownership, and brought in technology that the  world’s largest social network  either didn’t have, or saw as prime bolt-on acquisitions. Now its latest investment is of almost $5.7 billion in Reliance’s Jio — for just 10 per cent stake. India is among the largest communities globally for the company, with close to 328 million users. Instagram has millions of accounts in India, and Wh

India a rising superpower in the South-Asian region, currently has been tackling challenges that are too important to consider.

Moreover, special thanks to near neighbors with whom India has also been working to solve border issues.   On 9th June 2020, China stepped back nearly 2 km from the Line of Actual control while, on 13th June 2020, Nepal’s parliament passed its new map covering Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, Kalapani and Kali river which are part of Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand of Indian territory.
