Bihar Polls 2020: All You Need to Know

As temperatures dip in some parts of the country, the political heat is rising in Bihar as polling draws near and political parties give their campaigns one final push. &nbsp;
The election for the 243-seat Bihar assembly is being held in 3 phases &ndash; 71 constituencies will vote in the first phase on October 28, 94 seats will go to polls in the second phase on November 3 and third phase on November 7 will cover 78 assembly seats. The ballots will be counted on November 10. &nbsp;
Around 7.29 crore people including nearly 78 lakh first-time voters will decide the fate of political stalwarts like Nitish Kumar and as well as that of rising sons like Tejashwi Yadav and Chirag Paswan. &nbsp;
Alliances have changed since the last Bihar assembly elections in 2015 which saw the RJD, JD(U) and Congress combine come to power. However, Nitish Kumar walked out of this grand alliance in 2017 to return to the BJP-led NDA fold. He continued as the Chief Minister but BJP&rsquo;s Sushil Kumar Modi replaced RJD&rsquo;s Tejashwi Yadav as the Deputy Chief Minister. &nbsp;
2020 might be the younger Yadav scion&rsquo;s year of vengeance as he takes the field as the chief ministerial candidate of the Congress-RJD Mahagathbandhan. The RJD has bagged the lion&rsquo;s share and will be contesting 144 seats, Congress 70 seats and the CPI-ML, CPI and CPI(M) will be contesting a total of 29 seats. The grand alliance is however a few allies short with Vikasheel Insaan Party and former CM Jiten Manjhi&rsquo;s Hindustani Awam Morcha quitting the alliance and joining NDA. &nbsp;
The ruling coalition may have gained 2 allies but it lost 1 very important ally with Lok Janshakti Party led by late Ram Vilas Paswan&rsquo;s son Chirag Paswan deciding to party ways with NDA in Bihar over differences with Nitish Kumar. While the LJP will fight the polls alone, it will field candidates only against JD(U) and not the BJP.&nbsp;
The saffron party is contesting 110 seats, the JD(U) 115 seats and smaller allies Vikasheel Insaan Party and CM Jiten Ram Manjhi&rsquo;s HAM will be fighting from 11 and 7 seats respectively.&nbsp;
There are other minor political parties and alliances in the fray as well. Former NDA ally Upendra Khushwaha&rsquo;s Rashtriya Lok Samta Party has joined hands with Asaduddin Owaisi&rsquo;s AIMIM. Chandrashekhar Azad&rsquo;s Azad Samaj Party has formed an alliance with MP Pappu Yadav&rsquo;s Jan Adhikar Party. &nbsp;
Whether these smaller parties dampen the Diwali festivities of the bigger ones by dividing their votes or Nitish Kumar beats anti-incumbency to retain his chair or an ailing Lalu Yadav sees his son lead his party to victory will be clear when the EVMs are unlocked on November 10. &nbsp;

Why Bangladesh’s economy is growing much faster than others | BOOM

IMF has projected that India's per capita GDP will slip below Bangladesh in 2020. It is largely being attributed to the lockdown and the pandemic which has affected the world. Why is Bangladesh economy growing even when the rest of the world is faltering? BOOM Explains.
Ahsan H Mansur, Executive Director, Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh and Chairman, BRAC Bank says that macroeconomic stability has been a cornerstone of Bangladeshi economic planning and that has helped sustained growth. It has also maintained exchange rate stability relative to Indian currency. Bangladesh also has a controlled fiscal deficit at about 3.5-4.5% despite the fiscal target set at 5%. It helps anchor the inflation rate, exchange rate stability as well as exports.
He also says that the Bangladesh exports had started recovering from May. By July-August, Bangladesh had bounced back to similar export volumes by the same corresponding period in 2019. The government also helped garment industries to pay their workers through the lockdown to ensure that there were no hindrances in keeping the industry afloat.
Watch BOOM's Govindraj Ethiraj interview Ahsan H Mansur on the Bangladesh economy, Indian economy, world trade relations and the reasons why Bangladesh economy is growing better than any other comparable economy.

IMF forecast: Rahul blames BJP's hate-filled nationalism

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a jibe at the&nbsp;government over the latest&nbsp;IMF growth projections showing Bangladesh beating India in terms of per capita&nbsp;GDP.
The opposition leader said it was a 'solid achievement' of six years of BJP's 'hate-filled cultural nationalism'.
The IMF sees India's per capita GDP&nbsp;falling to $1,877 in 2020. For Bangladesh, the corresponding figure is seen growing to $1,888. If IMF's forecast hits the mark, that will leave India just ahead of Pakistan and Nepal in the South Asia region.

Covid-19 school closure may cost over $400 bn to India: World Bank

The prolonged closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic in India may cause a loss of over $400 billion in the country's future earnings, besides substantial learning losses, according to a World Bank report

According to a World Bank report the prolonged closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic in India may cause a loss of over $400 billion in the country's future earnings. The report said South Asia region stands to lose $622 billion from the school closures in the present scenario or up to $880 billion in a more pessimistic scenario.&nbsp;The report titled "Beaten or Broken? Informality and Coivid-19 in South Asia" claims that South Asia is set to plunge into its worst-ever recession in 2020 as the devastating impacts of the pandemic on the region's economies linger.
 World Bank's alarm over school closure in India World Bank on economic fallout of school closure India's may lose over $400 bn with schools closed&nbsp; World Bank pegs loses for&nbsp;South Asia at $622-880 bn&nbsp;

PTI,&nbsp;New Delhi: The prolonged closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India may cause a loss of over USD 400 billion in the country's future earnings, besides substantial learning losses, according to a World Bank report.
South Asia region stands to lose USD 622 billion from the school closures in the present scenario or up to USD 880 billion in a more pessimistic scenario, it said, adding while the regional loss is largely driven by India, all countries will lose substantial shares of their GDP.
The report titled "Beaten or Broken? Informality and COVID-19 in South Asia" claims that South Asia is set to plunge into its worst-ever recession in 2020 as the devastating impacts of COVID-19 on the region's economies linger.
"Temporary school closures in all South Asian countries have had major implications for students. They have kept 391 million students out of school in primary and secondary education, further complicating efforts to resolve the learning crisis,&rdquo; said the report.
&ldquo;While most governments have made enormous efforts to mitigate the impact of school closures, it has been difficult to engage children through remote learning initiatives," it said.
The report also noted that the pandemic may cause up to 5.5 million students to drop out from the education system and cause substantial learning losses, which will have a lifetime impact on the productivity of a generation of students.
"Most school systems closed in March, and -- though there are important exceptions -- countries are starting to reopen or have already opened their schools. Children have been out of school for approximately 5 months. Being out of school for that long means that children not only stop learning new things, they also forget some of what they have learned.
"The projected learning loss for the region is 0.5 years of learning-adjusted years of schooling (LAYS), falling from 6.5 LAYS to 6.0 LAYS, an enormous setback from recent advances in schooling," it said.
The &lsquo;Learning Adjusted Year of Schooling&rsquo; (LAYS) concept, introduced by the World Bank, seeks to combine access and learning outcomes into a single measure.
It combines quantity (years of schooling) and quality (how much kids know at a given grade level) into a single summary measure of human capital in a society.
The report has projected that based on country data on household labor incomes, the average child in South Asia may lose USD 4,400 in lifetime earnings once having entered the labour market, equivalent to 5 percent of total earnings.
"These projections are based on what we currently know about returns to schooling, using the reduced level of learning caused by the crisis. Summing these numbers for all children in South Asia, the region stands to lose USD 622 billion from the school closures in the present scenario, or up to USD 880 billion in a more pessimistic scenario.
"While the regional loss is largely driven by India, all countries will lose substantial shares of their GDP. For reference, note that South Asian governments spend only USD 400 billion per year in total on primary and secondary education. The total loss in economic output from the current closures is hence substantially higher than what countries currently spend on education," it said.
The novel corona virus has infected over 3.7 crore people across the globe claiming over 10.5 lakh lives.
India's COVID-19 caseload stands at 71.2 lakhs while the death toll is 1.09 lakh as on Monday.
Universities and schools across the country were ordered shut on March 16 to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. On March 25, the Centre announced a nationwide lockdown. While several restrictions have been eased gradually in different phases of the 'unlock' since June 8, educational institutions continue to remain closed.
However, according to the latest unlock guidelines, schools, colleges and other educational institutions outside COVID-19 containment zones can reopen after October 15. The final decision on reopening the institutions has been left with the states and Union territories.

Covid-19 could push 150 million more people into poverty by 2021

A new World Bank report states that over 150 million more people could be pushed into 'extreme poverty' by 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic

Almost 150 million people could be pushed into extreme poverty by 2021, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A new World Bank report states that the goal of ending world poverty by 2030 could almost be out of reach if immediate and substantial action is not taken.
For the first time&nbsp;in over 20 years in 2020, global extreme poverty is expected to rise. Before the pandemic, the poverty rate was predicted to drop to 7.9% in 2020.
The World Bank has pledged&nbsp;more than $160 billion to help countries recover from the shocks of the pandemic.&nbsp;

Charpentier and Doudna win Nobel chemistry prize 2020

The Nobel Prize in Chemistiry&nbsp;has been awarded&nbsp;to French scientist Emmanuelle Charpentier and American Jennifer Doudna&nbsp;for&nbsp;developing CRISPR, a method of genome editing

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry&nbsp;this year has been awarded&nbsp;to French scientist Emmanuelle Charpentier and American Jennifer A. Doudna&nbsp;for&nbsp;developing a method of genome editing&nbsp;known as the CRISPR-Cas9 DNA,&nbsp;likened to 'molecular scissors' that offer the promise of one day curing genetic diseases.
CRISPR&nbsp;is gene technology's sharpest stool, using these, researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision. Te Nobel jury said,&nbsp;the technology has had a revolutionary impact on the life sciences, is contributing to new cancer therapies and may make the dream of curing inherited diseases come true.
The strangest thing about the win however, is that back in 2017, Charpentier and Doudna lost the legal battle for the patent of it - which went to a US company.

3 scientists share Physics Nobel for black hole breakthroughs

Biden's 'Inshallah' to Trump's tax returns is another day in 2020

The acrimonious first presidential debate between incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden was chaotic to say the least.
But Biden sliding a smooth &lsquo;inshallah&rsquo; as a retort to Trump showing his tax returns in the future touched a whole new chord with netizens.
After Trump answered that he paid &lsquo;millions of dollars&rsquo; in federal income and will release his tax returns, Biden&nbsp;said &lsquo;when? Inshallah&rsquo; using the phrase in its colloquial context meaning &lsquo;never&rsquo;.
Twitter was abuzz immediately over the usage of the phrase and Biden's&nbsp;subtle&nbsp;delivery. An explosive New York Times report showed that Trump paid merely $750&nbsp;in federal income taxes in 2016-17. The POTUS however maintains that he paid millions of dollars.
