 “Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.”                                                                                             -Thomas Aquinas The Concept of Charity: Charity is the act of extending love and kindness to others unconditionally, which is a conscious act but the decision is made by the heart, without expecting a reward.

Why Dollar is Higher Than Rupee ? Similarly, if exports outpace the imports, then supply of dollar will exceed demand and Rupee will appreciate against dollar in India. Higher interest rates in a country suggests higher returns. As the aforesaid conditions are satisfied for Rupee in India and Dollar in the US, both the currencies are used as money in respective countries. As the risk factor also determines capital movement, most countries give significance to the risk rating by international agencies like Moody’s, Fitch etc. If there is net foreign capital inflow in India in the form of FDI or FII, then the supply of dollar will be much higher than demand and Rupee will strengthen against the dollar. The capital account details the flow of foreign capital in and out of the country. The foreign capital usually flows into the region which provides minimum risk and maximum returns. It is because of the risk factor that despite high interest rates in Zimbabwe, most investors ignore it And ...

  Harmful Impact of Ozone depletion The atmospheric ozone absorbs UVB (which is a spectrum of UV rays based on its wavelength) on the earth’s surface at the Polar Regions. Indeed, the nature beholds tremendous powers which are beyond human reach.  These chemicals were being carried away to the ozone layer by strong winds. However, thankfully that is not the case and on the contrary it works in favor of life on earth from 20 to 30 kilometer above it. Although the ozone layer is a very small fraction of the gases present in the atmosphere yet it is of immense importance for the existence of life on earth. However it must be noted that we have done nothing to improve the concentration of ozone in the ozone layer. Over there, UV radiations broke CFCs and released chlorine atmos. Around late 1970s, the intelligent minds of the earth (i.e) Had it been in our close surrounding in abundance, it would have produced a lot of smog into the air, making it unhealthy to breathe in. Harmful ...

 Environment Protection & Development Can Go Hand In Hand Since the second half of the 20th century, rapid development was witnessed across the world which resulted in the rapid degradation of environment surrounding us. In the quest of development, man ignored the very environment which is vital for sustaining the life on the planet earth.  The ruthless development increased the percentage of green house gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere which led to the rise in the long term mean temperature of the earth often called as global warming. The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone GHGs and their concentration in the atmosphere is increased due to the burning of fossil fuels, clearing of forests etc. The global warming has increased the frequency of extreme weathers conditions like droughts, floods, cyclones etc. which would ultimately affect the crop production in almost all countries. Since agricu...

 Theme: Covid-19 pandemic impacted the economies of all the countries including India. Impact of COVID-19 on the Indian economy: ⦁ When the Covid-19 virus spread throughout the world, several countries imposed lockdowns to prevent further spread. As a result, several businesses faced losses and hence many people lost their jobs. And those who still have jobs were paid less. India too went through this phase and that hit the economy badly. Because of this, even when there is a second wave of Covid-19 in India at present, a countrywide lockdown was not imposed. Instead, ‘micro-containment zones’ will be locked to prevent further spread. So, it is expected that this time economy will not be affected severely ⦁ Due to increased unemployment and low salaries, many people did not have much money. There was decreased spending on non-essential items. So, consumption fell, and as a result, an economic slowdown occurred. ⦁ Global supply chains got disrupted due to restrictions on impo...
