हर्ड इम्यूनिटी की ओर कदम बढ़ाती दिल्ली

दिल्ली सरकार का आदेश है कि दिल्ली में स्थित सभी कार्यालय (जो केन्द्र सरकार के निषेधित सूची में नहीं हैं) अपनी पूरी क्षमता के साथ खुल सकते हैं। हालाँकि मुख्यमंत्री जी का आग्रह है कि ‘वर्क फ्रॉम होम’ की परम्परा को प्राथमिकता देते हुए उसे बढ़ावा दिया जाए। कौन सा व्यापारिक प्रतिष्टान किस क्षमता के साथ ऑपरेट करेगा इससे संबन्धित सभी निर्णयों की जिम्मेदारी दिल्ली सरकार द्वारा व्यापारिक प्रतिष्ठानों पर छोड़ दिया गया है। हालाँकि केन्द्रीय गृह मंत्रालय ने कुछ निषेधों को लेकर सख्त रुख दिया है फिर भी ये डेलिगेशन कुछ ठीक वैसा ही है जैसा केन्द्र सरकार ने लॉकडॉउन के संबन्ध में सभी निर्णय लेने की जिम्मेदारी राज्यों को दे दी है!

Book Review: Be Social: Building Brand You Online by Karthik Srinivasan

Can social media be useful for a common man? There would be very few who will have an affirmative answer to this peculiar question (I guess). At first, it is completely a weird question for most of the people as they know social media as a way to just spend time. Not just to spend but perhaps kill the time! According to most of the people, they simply are addicted for no fruitful purpose. Still it is a kind of lifeline and keeps them engaged and relieves them from FOMO (fear of missing out). They truthfully accept. No excuses!

Although, there is almost a consensus among most of the people that social media has no real value to life and is hardly of any use! At least I believed so for sure. It can be a useful tool in one’s endeavours, was simply a question outside the syllabi before I got into the pages of this book!

Will Economic Relief Package Prove Relief to MSMEs?

The economic relief package of ₹20 Lakh crores includes the money to be spent through fiscal as well as monetary policy responses. However, the actual money that the government would directly be spending to boost economic activities would be around ₹6 Lakh crores; far less than the announced ₹20 Lakh crores. It does not mean that the amount of ₹20 Lakh crores is a token amount. The government through these measures wants to actually increase liquidity by ₹20 Lakh crores in the economy over time. Monetary policy response route is being taken because the government needs to manage fiscal deficit so that there are no significant negative consequences on the front of exchange rate and inflation.
