Shillong's stunning cherry blossoms will be in full bloom soon!

Shillong's stunning cherry blossom trees are expected to be in full bloom by early November.

Shillong's stunning cherry blossoms will be full bloom soon!

While the India International Cherry Blossom Festival held every year in Shillong&nbsp;may be cancelled this time around, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the streets will stun with the pink blooms.
The trees are expected to be in full bloom by early November and the buds are set to appear in the coming week.&nbsp;
Every corner of the east and west Khasi hills will be pretty in pink with the cherry blossoms.&nbsp;
If you do plan to visit Shillong&nbsp;to have a look at the blossoms, you need to show a&nbsp;negative Covid&nbsp;report, which is no more than 72 hours old.

This&nbsp;year&nbsp;marks the 75th anniversary of&nbsp;United&nbsp;Nation's&nbsp;World Food Day,&nbsp;and,&nbsp;as&nbsp;countries&nbsp;continue&nbsp;to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, the realization&nbsp;of access to safe and nutritious food for all has become more acute.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;India, which is one of the biggest food producers in the world, ironically is also home to the largest population of hungry people.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Despite astounding industrial and economic growth,&nbsp;particularly after the liberalization in early 1990s,&nbsp;India has a grim rating of 102&nbsp;among 117 nations&nbsp;on the Global Hunger Index.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The United Nations&nbsp;Food and Agriculture Organization&nbsp;estimates that&nbsp;14% of India's population or&nbsp;189.2 mn people are undernourished.&nbsp;The global agriculture body&nbsp;notes that&nbsp;in India&nbsp;34.7% of children under&nbsp;the age of&nbsp;five are stunted or too short for their age and 20% weigh too low for their height.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The hunger isn&rsquo;t due to lack of food but&nbsp;astonishingly&nbsp;due to&nbsp;the wastage of food. Hard to believe is the fact that&nbsp;nearly one-third of the food produced in the world gets wasted every year.&nbsp;
In India&nbsp;40% of fruits and vegetables and 30% of cereals produced for consumption are lost due to ineffective supply chain management each&nbsp;year.&nbsp;&nbsp;Starvation accounts for most deaths in the world after cancer and&nbsp;AIDS.&nbsp;In India alone, 7,000 people die every day of hunger and 25 lakhs&nbsp;die every year.&nbsp;&nbsp;As Covid-19 pandemic continues to alter our lifestyles, the fight against hunger has lost steam.&nbsp;A&nbsp;nationwide lockdown announced in March to curb&nbsp;the deadly virus&nbsp;brought&nbsp;India's already fragile and fragmented food supply chain to a screeching halt&nbsp;for months.&nbsp;
With&nbsp;labour&nbsp;shortage, logistical constraints and partial lockdowns&nbsp;amplifying the already strained food market and the poverty-stricken farmers, hunger remains one of the biggest problem amid the pandemic&nbsp;in world&rsquo;s largest food producing nation.&nbsp;

How Covid-19 pandemic has complicated India's fight against hunger

2020 marks the 75th anniversary of UN's&nbsp;World Food Day, highlighting access to safe and nutritious food&nbsp;as an essential part of our response to Covid-19.&nbsp; &nbsp;
One of the biggest food producers in the world, India is ironically enough, home to the largest population of hungry people in the world.&nbsp;
The nation ranks 102nd among 117 countries on the Global Hunger Index. Despite industrial and economic growth, the nation fails to feed its citizens.&nbsp;According to FAO estimates, 14% of India's population or&nbsp;189.2mn people are undernourished.&nbsp;Further, 34.7% of children under five in India are stunted or too short for their age and 20% weigh too low for their height.&nbsp;
In a grave contrast, nearly one-third of the food produced in the world gets wasted every year. 40% of fruits and vegetables and 30% of cereals produced for consumption in India are lost due to ineffective supply chain management every year.
The problem of hunger is dangerous, it remains the biggest cause of death in the world, followed by cancer and AIDS. In India alone, 7,000 people die every day of hunger and 25 lakh&nbsp;die every year.
And things could get much, much worse this year.&nbsp;The nationwide lockdown announced in March to curb Covid-19&nbsp;brought&nbsp;India's already fragile and fragmented food supply chain to a screeching halt.
Labour shortage, misinformation, logistical constraints and partial lockdowns&nbsp;are amplifying the already strained food market and the poverty-stricken farmers.
For the world's biggest democracy, hunger remains the biggest problem amid the pandemic.&nbsp;

Twitter flags Trump's tweet comparing Covid to flu

Twitter on Tuesday flagged a tweet by US President Donald Trump that played down the Covid-19 pandemic and compared it to the seasonal flu

Twitter on Tuesday flagged a tweet by US President Donald Trump that played down the Covid-19 pandemic and compared it to the seasonal flu. Twitter placed a warning label on the tweet, saying the post included potentially misleading information.&nbsp;"Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid," Trump had tweeted hours after being discharged from hospital where he was admitted after testing positive for Covid. Earlier in the day, Facebook removed a similar post by Trump.

Understanding GDP Slump – Part 2 of 3 | Summachar

Here&rsquo;s how some countries fared in the Apr-Jun 2020 quarter after COVID-19 brought the world to its knees.
 India&rsquo;s GDP contracted by 23.9% compared to Apr-Jun 2019. In comparison to Jan-Mar 2020, the GDP contracted by 29.3%.&nbsp;
 Notably China registered a positive growth. But it is to be noted that China faced the worst of the pandemic in Jan-Mar 2020 and started recovering in Apr-Jun 2020.&nbsp; &nbsp; A more meaningful comparison would be to compare GDP trends during quarters that respective countries were worst affected by COVID&nbsp; Interestingly, China&rsquo;s 27%&nbsp;QoQ&nbsp;slump in Jan-Mar 2020 translates to 7% YoY slump.&nbsp; &nbsp; Historically China sees a&nbsp;QoQ&nbsp;GDP slump of 16-17% every year during Jan-Mar. &nbsp; The Chinese New Year holidays in this quarter lead to massive reduction of industrial output for almost a month - almost like an annual lockdown.&nbsp; &nbsp; If we look at absolute GDP figures in dollars, China saw a slump of almost a trillion dollars in Jan-Mar compared to previous quarter&nbsp; India saw a shrinkage of 152 billion dollars in the Apr-Jun&nbsp;quarter &nbsp; In the last part of this series we will have a look at GDP trends in India over the last decade and possible recovery from the COVID blues.

Understanding GDP slump - Part 3 of 3 | Summachar

Looking at the absolute quarterly GDP of&nbsp;india&nbsp;over the last decade shows some interesting trends.
 Although there is seasonal volatility, as seen in the ripples on the curve, the annual trend is of growth - the curve moves upwards at a steady pace&nbsp; There&rsquo;s generally a slump every year during Q1 (Apr-Jun). This is the quarter post budget announcements.
 Annually there&rsquo;s a strong rally around Q3 (Oct-Dec). This quarter sees a lot of major festival celebrations in India.&nbsp;
 Interestingly, the COVID slump brought India&rsquo;s production to 2015 levels&nbsp; Given that the lockdown affected Tier 1 and 2 cities more than smaller towns and rural India, an inference that can be drawn is that small town and rural India today contributes to production as much as all of India did 5 years ago. Also they seem to contribute to almost 70% of the GDP.&nbsp; &nbsp; If we look at the annual GDP, India had an average annual growth of 6.6% in the last decade. The Min was 4.2% in FY19-20 and Max was 8.3% in FY16-17.
 COVID19 lockdown during FY20-21 Q1 led to quarter GDP to shrink to ₹27&nbsp;tn&nbsp;from ₹38&nbsp;tn&nbsp;in the previous quarter.
If the next 3 quarters perform at the pace set by the quarters before COVID19 we will be on course for a classic V shaped recovery&nbsp; China has shown a similar recovery in the last quarter ending June&nbsp; &nbsp; In a V-shaped recession, the economy suffers a sharp but brief period of economic decline, followed by a strong recovery. Post lockdown, if the next 3 quarters&rsquo; GDP is in the range of FY19-20 Q4 (~₹40&nbsp;tn), the annual GDP growth will be positive.
 Even a simple recovery like this would translate to a potential 50%&nbsp;QoQ&nbsp;growth during Q2!&nbsp;This steady recovery would lead to a 1.5 - 2.5% annual growth for FY20-21.&nbsp;Yet again proving the volatility of&nbsp;QoQ&nbsp;GDP numbers and the importance of understanding the different terminologies associated with GDP.

International Literacy Day 2020: how Covid has transformed learning

The theme for International Literacy Day this year sheds light on transforming role of educators amid the Covid-19 crisis and beyond.

The 8th of September is commemorated as International Literacy Day every year. It was recognised by UNESCO back in 1966, at the 14th session of the General Conference and seeks to highlight the importance of literary as a matter of human rights and dignity in society.
Keeping the Covid-19 outbreak in mind, the theme for 2020 is 'Literacy teaching and learning in the Covid-19 crisis and beyond'. It sheds light on the role of educators in transforming the way knowledge is being imparted in the wake of the health crisis and the changing pedagogies that come with it.&nbsp;To celebrate the day, the United Nations this year is organising virtual seminars and talks to answer important questions.
The pandemic spelt a major blow for children in specific, with schools shut around the world. As per data from the World Literacy Foundation, 1.27 billion children and youth were impacted. While learning has shift to digital platforms, not everyone has access to these.&nbsp;
Despite attempts at progress, recent consensus shows that approximately 775 million adults globally lack basic literacy skills today. Among them, a startling 60.7 million children are either out of school or rarely attend it.

Thailand to shut national parks every year for ecological protection

With abundant natural flora and fauna and picturesque beaches, Thailand has been a popular tourist destination for a long time. But the coronavirus&nbsp;pandemic forced the nation to shut down tourism and this has proven&nbsp;to be a silver lining for the environment.
Seeing the improvement, Thailand's Environment Minister has announced that the nation will close its national parks for a few months every year to allow the natural habitat to recover and sustain itself for decades to come.&nbsp;
Thailand has more than 100 national parks and many popular hot spots like Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay are a part of these parks. The closures will be staggered across the country.
For instance, Phi Phi Islands have been closed since 2018 and may remain shut beyond 2021 till the area recovers&nbsp;from the impact of&nbsp;mass tourism.&nbsp;
