Despite 40% dip in interest in pharma sector jobs, Indian youths throng for Ayurveda jobs.

The number of employees in India seeking to work with the Ayurveda industry has surged significantly when compared to last year, found a leading job search engine Indeed. The spike in interest is attributed to the efforts taken by the government and the home-grown Ayurvedic companies in spreading the awareness about the Make in India campaign.

According to Indeed, the Ministry of AYUSH has been stressing more on alternative medicine and encouraging people for opting more natural healthcare practices due to which job search for Ayurveda witnessed a growth rate of 56 percent in 2017.

The substantial increase in interest for jobs in the Ayurveda sector happened at a time when the pharma sector witnessed 40 percent dip in people looking for jobs in the segment, as per the report.

This could also suggest a shift in the social trend where Indians look for more alternative and natural healing methods.

"The inclination of the Indian workforce towards Ayurveda signifies the impact of socio-economic developments on the job market and people's preferences," said Sashi Kumar, managing director at Indeed India.

The AYUSH industry is expected to grow in double digits and provide direct employment to 1 million people and indirect jobs to 25 million workers by 2020, said Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Suresh Prabhu, earlier this month.

AYUSH stands for traditional healthcare systems like Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy.

"The Indian domestic market of AYUSH is estimated to double, young Indian entrepreneurs planning a start-up could find a lot of opportunities in holistic healthcare," said Prabhu.

Futher, people looking to work with Baba Ramdev led Patanjali has also shot up since the Make in India campaign caught the attention of young employees.

India's second largest fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) company, Patanjali Ayurved, has hired more than 1000 employees from leading companies such as Hindustan Unilever, Colgate, Dabur, Godrej and Nestle.

Now, they are also planning to hire freshers from the top notch business schools, on this ongoing placement season.

"Presently, we have headcount of 25,000 employees. We hired almost 10,000 people last year. Considering our aggressive growth plans for the coming years, we need to add at least 10,000 more employees in another one year," said Balkrishna, Managing Director at Patanjali Ayurved.

How you can link mobile number to Aadhaar at home?

In a move to simplify the process of linking mobile phone number with Aadhaar, the government announced three measures which will let people complete the process from the comfort of home. These include verification via OTP (one time password), Aadhaar app, as well as IVRS facility. Of course, people can continue to visit mobile stores to register biometrics and complete the process.

Meanwhile, the government has ordered telecom companies to complete re-verification at the doorsteps of the disabled, chronically ill and senior citizens. For such cases, telecom operators have been asked to set-up an online mechanism for people to request for doorstep verification.

The deadline for authentication of mobile phone number with Aadhaar (a process called re-verification) is February 6, 2018. Let us take a look, in detail, various ways by which people can link their mobile number to Aadhaar:

One-Time Password (OTP)

The government has directed operators to facilitate request for OTP on user's mobile number that is already registered with Aadhaar database. The method can be used for re-verification of other mobile numbers that subscriber may be using as well. OTP mode will help e-verify cell phone numbers via websites or mobile apps.

Agent-assisted authentication

The process has been made more secure as telecom operators have now been asked not to reveal full e-KYC details of subscribers to agents, which was not the case previously. Agent-authentication assistant can be sought for SIM re-verification as well as issuance. Additionally, data will no longer be be stored on the agent’s device.

Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS)

Interactive Voice Response System can be used as verification as well, though this will be done via specially designed apps.

Finally, telecom operators have been directed by the government to deploy iris scanning devices at service points. This will those (especially senior citizens, disabled) who have difficulties verifying their identity via fingerprint-based Aadhaar authentication.

Apart from re-verification of existing prepaid and post-paid mobile numbers, getting an new mobile connection also requires Aadhaar-based e-KYC now. The government hopes to complete the re-verification process by early next year.

Delhi Metro to hike fares, prices set to go up by Rs 10

In what might be a setback for daily commuters, fares of Delhi Metro is set to increase for the second time this year. This new phase of price hikes is going to start from October 1. The last time fares were hiked was in May this year. The minimum fare then was hiked from Rs 8 to Rs 10, whereas the maximum fare was hiked from Rs 30 to Rs 50.

The revised fare is likely to be Rs 10 for the first kilometre, with an increase of Rs 10 by each slab, going up to Rs 50. The fares are going to be something between Rs 10 and Rs 60 after the hike, while journeys longer than 32 km are likely to see a hike from Rs 50 to Rs 60.

This revision in fares again has been made due to the increasing cost of electricity and maintenance expenses, along with expenses for the work force.  According to a report by Hindustan Times , the DMRC is at a debt of Rs 4,500 crore, with additional operating costs, apart from maintenance expenses.
 
However, the usual discount of 10% will still be levied on passengers using metro cards, and there will be no change in fare for the Airport Express, the Business Standard report mentioned.

There will be an additional 10% discount for passengers commuting during non-peak hours, and there will be special discounts during holidays and Sundays.
According to a report in Business Standard , after the price hikes, DMRC saw the daily footfall reduce by 1.5 lakh passengers, as compared to June 2016. Hence, it is likely that this phase of price hikes will also see a decrease in passengers.

Penalty of Rs 5000 for using plastic bags from next week

Anyone carrying a 'thin' plastic bag (less than 50 microns thick) in the capital will now run the risk of being fined Rs 5,000.

The National Green Tribunal announced the fine on Thursday while imposing an interim ban on the use of such plastic bags.
The green court has also directed the Delhi government to seize the entire stock of plastic within one week from today (August 10).
The bench asked the AAP government in the city and the Delhi Pollution Control Committee to file an affidavit by a senior most officer on compliance to directions related to waste management in the city were being implemented, particularly in respect to plastics.
The tribunal had last year banned the use of disposable plastic in Delhi and NCR with effect from January 1, 2017 and directed the city government to take steps to reduce dumped waste.
Rapping the Delhi government over indiscriminate and rampant use of plastic in the national capital despite its prohibition, the bench had on July 31 directed the city government to strictly enforce its ban order in the city and sought a status report on the issue.
The NGT had prohibited the use of disposable plastic in the entire city, especially at hotels, restaurants and for public and private functions, while asking the Delhi government to take appropriate steps against "storage, sale and use" of such material from January 1 this year.
It has also imposed a Rs 10,000 fine on vegetable vendors and slaughter houses for throwing garbage in public places.
Then Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar had said that the minimum thickness of plastic carry bags had been increased from 40 to 50 microns.

Delhi University’s special admission drive to fill up vacant reserved seats.

Delhi University will conduct a special admission drive for applicants under the reserved categories and bring out two more cutoffs for about 1,500 seats.

Officials said some colleges still have seats in the reserved categories, including SC, ST, OBC, Person with Disability (PwD), Children/Widows of Armed Forces, sports and extracurricular activities (ECA).

“There are some seats left in the reserved categories so we are running a special drive to make sure students are admitted on these seats,” said a university official.

The cutoff list for the special category will be out on August 3 and August 7.

But this opportunity will only be available for applicants who are already registered with the university and filled the online registration forms.

“Under this drive only such candidates would be considered for admission who are registered with the University of Delhi, but are not admitted in any college irrespective of category under any cut-off list. It is to be noted that no fresh registrations shall be allowed in this special drive,” said Tarun Das, DU registrar.

Registered applicants will also be allowed to make corrections related to the category change from unreserved to any other category which they belong to.

"Corrections related to category changes are allowed from UR to SC/ST/OBC /PWD /KM/CW subject to verification of original certificates,” Das said in a statement.

Admission committee chairman M K Pandit said, “The idea is to get those students into the university net who are registered but couldn’t seek admission for minor mistakes/choices they made at the time of filling an application.”

Applicants can make corrections by visiting room number 1 at the conference centre in North Campus with their relevant certificates from Monday till Wednesday.

“The applicants must bring their registration form and original/copies of relevant certificates. No further requests of correction will be accepted after these dates,” an official said.

For sports category applicants not admitted in any college, request for modification in colleges or course in sports or ECA admission will be allowed.

DU started the academic session from July 20 and released the seventh cutoff for all categories on July 26.

GST Final Draft to Retain Clause on Services Sector

The goods and services tax (GST) council is likely to retain a clause in the law that will require service providers to register in every state where they operate, despite recent representations from various Union ministries and telcos, banks, and insurance firms for a single registration system in chartered accountants firm.
At present, service providers benefit from a single centralized registration system for paying service tax—a tax levied and collected by the Union government.
However, under the GST regime, even states will get the powers to collect tax on services and the service providers will have to register in every state where they have operations in direct foreign investment in India.
As per the provisions of draft GST laws that will be finalized in the 11th meeting of the GST council on 4, and 5 March, service providers operating across India will have to obtain more than 30 separate registrations. Companies have highlighted the procedural hassles of such a move but states, concerned about their revenue, are not willing to agree to a centralized registration.

Harmanpreet Kaur's 171 leads India past Australia, into World Cup final

India stunned defending champions Australia by 36 runs to secure a spot in the Women's World Cup final after an undefeated 171 by Harmanpreet Kaur provided the platform for victory on Thursday.
With their first win over six-time champions Australia in World Cup knockout cricket, India will now play tournament hosts England in the sold-out Lord’s final on Sunday.

Harmanpreet Kaur

Australia, set 282 to win and what would have been a record World Cup chase if successful, got off to a terrible start as they lost three wickets inside the opening eight overs.
Despite some impressive hitting from Elyse Villani, who recorded her best ODI score of 75, they were never able to keep up with the required run rate and were dismissed for 245 with 11 balls to spare.
Earlier, Kaur's unbeaten 171 –- her third ODI century, which came off just 115 balls and included 20 fours and seven sixes –- underpinned India’s 281 for four.

India, who reached their only previous final in 2005, had experienced a disappointing start of their own as they sunk to 101-3, including the dismissal of inspirational captain Mithali Raj for 36.
However, Kaur, 28, revitalised the innings with a rapid fourth-wicket partnership of 137 with all-rounder Deepti Sharma.
Kaur, who scored her first hundred outside of India, was named player-of-the match.
In a match reduced to 42 overs after heavy rain delayed the start until 13:45pm (1245 GMT), India looked likely to score under 200 until Kaur cut loose.

India, calling on their knowledge of the pitch, having won all four group stage matches they contested at Derby, decided to bat first after winning the toss.
However they were left in a perilous position when opener Smrti Mandhana (six) departed in the first over and Punam Raut (14) joined her in the pavilion not long after.
Kaur took on the role of aggressor as she and Raj made steady progress, before leg-spinner Kristen Beams bowled Raj for 36 having been dropped the previous delivery.
Kaur continued to attack in a merciless display of hitting, requiring 26 balls to move from her half-century to triple figures, when she was almost run out scampering a two to reach the landmark.
That scare and the wicket of Sharma did little to deter her, using only 18 balls to then bring up her 150, as India smashed the final six overs for 79 runs.
India then had a dream start with the ball as Shikah Pandey bowled Beth Mooney (one) and Jhulan Goswami dislodged Meg Lanning’s stumps, for the Australian captain’s first duck since August 2014.
When in-form Nicole Bolton was caught and bowled for 14 by Sharma, Australia were left teetering on 21-3.
Villani kept Australia within touching distance of the chase with a commanding 75 off 58 balls but her departure, dragging Rajeshwari Gayakwad to Manhana, ended those hopes.
Ellyse Perry became the tournament’s top scorer during her 38 but guided Pandey to wicketkeper Sushma Verma to prompt a collapse.
A brutal 90 from Alex Backwell proved in vain as Sharma bowled her to end the semi-final and spark rapturous scenes.

After the Phogats, These 3 ‘Dhaakad’ Sisters from Haryana Set an Example by Joining Indian Army!

Indian Army

Taking a pleasant break from being in the news as the state with the lowest sex ratio in the country, Haryana is now being lauded for being the state of successful women in recent times. After the Phogat sisters, whose inspiring story of becoming international wrestlers recently hit the silver screen with Dangal, three more sisters from Haryana have made the state proud by joining the Indian Army.

Residents of Kherka Gujjar village in Jhajjar, Haryana, Preeti and Deepti Deshwal, and their cousin Mamta have joined the Indian Army Medical Corps as lieutenants!

According to a report in Rajasthan Patrika, nobody in the family of Pratap Singh Deshwal has been a part of the Army till now. The three daughters of the house, however, dreamt of becoming army officers and their family supported them wholeheartedly.

Preeti and Deepti completed their schooling from Jyoti Prakash School, while Mamta went to Himalayan School. In 2012, the trio was selected in the Armed Forces Medical College but went to different campuses. Preeti was trained in Kolkata, Deepti in Mumbai, and Mamta went to Pune.

The three graduated this year and have been commissioned to different military hospitals across the country. Mamta will be stationed at Military hospital, Ranikhet, and Deepti will be stationed in Agra. Preeti will work for Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, Ooty.

The achievements of the three young lieutenants prove that if girls are given the right opportunities and support, they are no less than boys. The credit goes to the girls’ determination and their family’s support.

Some Amazing Facts Everyone Should Know

There are some basic things that everybody should know.
Science is important. It’s responsible for almost everything that we know about our world on a physical level. It is important to understand, however, that science is not a book full of facts. It is a process by which we figure things out about the world.

• It is a myth that Food items fried in oil are unhealthy.

When food items fried in oil, at optimal temperature, for optimal period of time, is healthy and hygienic and safe for our diet. If you fry in the right oil and follow some guidelines carefully, fried foods can have a place in a healthy diet.

• The brain works harder while we are asleep than during the day when we are awake.

Many people assume that sleep helps the brain rest, but our brains are actually busier during slumber. When we sleep and dream, our brains carry out important functions that they cannot perform while focusing on movement and conscious thought. During sleep, our brains process things we learned and emotions we felt during waking hours and saves them in our memory. That’s why sleep is so important to learning.

• World Wide Web and internet are not the same

  
Although the World Wide Web is often referred to as the Internet, the two are not the same thing. The Internet is a huge network of networks that links computers together all over the world using a range of wires and wireless technologies. The World Wide Web is the collection of linked pages that are accessed using the Internet and a web browser.

• Your cellphone won't kill you

Yes, it does emit radiation, but so do you. In fact, you emit more radiation than your cell phone.

• Muscles can only pull and never push.

That is the contraction( pulling) of muscles is active while relaxation (pushing) is passive.

We see many people show of their biceps to prove their strength. Biceps can only flex the elbow joint. Equally strong triceps is needed for balanced elbow function. Triceps is used for extending the elbow joint. In fact triceps are more used than biceps.

• Analog vs Digital

 

There are two types of signals that carry information – analog and digital signals. Digital information is binary. It’s 1s and 0s. The real world is analog. It’s all light waves, sound waves, etc. Converting analog information to digital involves some loss of information but it is worth it because digital data is easier to store.

• Positions to consider while sleeping

Lying on our back with a pillow under the knee. This reduces, strain on spine. However people with asthma can skip this position as it may cause breathing difficulty at night.

Sleeping on our stomach. It is bad as the neck won't be straight causing stiffness in the morning and the spine doesn't get enough support.

While sleeping on our sides, sleep on your left, as it will improve digestive functions.

She also said, “Simran is such a cosy and intimate story of a character ...it’s a lot about her psyche just like Queen...it’s a lot about the linear graph of an individual...you can involve yourself in that. But for something like this (Manikarnika) you need to have screenwriter of Baahubali for that so V. Vijayendra Prasad sir and Prasoon sir are the right people for this film,” Kangana said.

“As much as I would love to be in a league like this but I think I need a couple of 10-20 years,” she added.

“I agree that I am rebellious but she (Rani Laxmi Bai) was a rebel with a cause that makes her a hero...I rebel because if my instincts want me too. So that makes me a badass. She’s a hero,” Kangana further said.

Laxmibai, whose maiden name was Manikarnika, was born in Varanasi in 1828 to a Brahmin family. This is why the makers decided to unveil the film’s first official poster in the city.

Kangana, who looked every inch the fiery queen on the film’s poster, hoped that people would love Manikarnika the way they have appreciated her previous roles.
