Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: In the age of science and technology, devotion is also needed
This is the age of science, technology and education. Now it is difficult to get success without being educated. Gradually, illiterate people are going to suffer a lot. When Ram ji was talking to his brother Bharat on many subjects, he said that education has to be obtained. And by the way, it is difficult to get knowledge. Many obstacles stand in his way. At one place, Ram Ji said that the mind can also give problems for knowledge. But even if someone attains enlightenment after a lot of hardship, Rama puts a condition, 'Karat kasht bahu pavai kou'. Bhakti heen mohi priya nahi soo. If one att
N. Raghuraman's column: Surface signs can tell what is going on inside
As temperatures drop across the country, airline fares have skyrocketed, you've probably taken a road trip this weekend or will be going on a trip in the coming weeks. You must have seen that in the fields, vegetables and fruits like banana bunches are being covered with plastic bags and watered in the evening. That's because less than 10 mercury is good for driving, but can affect weather-sensitive vegetables, reduce photosynthesis, reduce nutrient absorption and disrupt plant metabolism. It weakens the immune system of the plant, due to which the crop is more prone to pest outbreaks. You mig
N. Raghuraman's column: Happiness is a mood that creates a positive mood
I know a young man who joined a Pune-based organisation as a temporary employee in 2015 and got five promotions in nine years, outpacing those who had been working there for 25-30 years. Last week I met the owner of the company at a dinner and asked him why he promoted that particular employee so many times. He said, because he comes to the office wearing a "happiness collar"! You might be wondering what it is? So read on. You may have heard of farm-labourers in the Junnar division near Pune who have started wearing a "C" shaped spiked collar around their neck to save lives. This is because le
Indian two-wheeler market dynamics
Two-wheelers account for 73 per cent market share in the total Indian automotive space. Hero Motorcorp and Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) lead the market and are the only two brands which have gained market share between FY18 and FY24. While sales of domestic two-wheelers are yet to reclaim the peak of FY19, there has been a steady increase in volumes in FY22-24 at a CAGR of 15.9 per cent, while the historical CAGR between FY09 and FY24 was at 11.1 per cent. This could be correlated with estimated penetration of two-wheeler financing increasing from 42-44 per cent in FY19 to 58-60 p
High healthcare inflation and out-of-pocket expense ratio drive health insurance market growth
India is an underpenetrated market when it comes to health insurance and lags behind the global average. The health insurance market, which constitutes 35-37 per cent of the non-life insurance market, is anticipated to exhibit strong growth until FY29. India’s high healthcare inflation and out-of-pocket expenses (OOPE) as a percentage of current health expenditure (CHE) are structural drivers for this growth. CHE is the sum of public and private health expenditure, excluding capital investment in healthcare infrastructure
Global outlook on transmission and distribution networks
Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDE) have been driving the growth in electricity grid length with rapid expansion from 2001, on increasing electrification. China leads the incremental transmission network put up in the last decade while India leads on the distribution side. India leads in Technical grid losses in T&D when compared with other countries. High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission lines, thus, emerge as the most preferred transmission lines considering their lower losses and their suitability for long-distance power transfer

Happy 75th Independence Day of India: Indian leaders provide opportunities to trustworthy puppets compared to skillful knowledgeable leaders
