 • Active subscribers base of Aakash EduTV increased by 66%, and new subscribers by 44% since April, 2021. • Its success points to the fact that educational TV channels can be a more viable option for remote learning in India where only about 24% of Indian households have any internet access at home (National Sample Survey’s Report on Education 2017-2018), and only 8.5% of school students were able to access the internet for remote learning in the past year, according to a UNICEF’s 2021 report.   New Delhi, June 29, 2021: Education may have gone online during the pandemic. But not every student has access to it, thanks to the wide digital divide in India, where over two-thirds of the households do not have any access to the internet. Interestingly, what comes to the aid of the students now is the humble television seeing the soaring subscribers base of Aakash EduTV, an education TV available on Airtel DTH, dedicated to coaching students for school exams and medical and engineering entr

 • Advanced and portable Micro-ATMs offer all conventional ATM facilities in unbanked areas • These can instantly deliver cash through local retail shops and outlets Mumbai, 29th June 2021: Bringing primary banking services to the under-served and under-banked parts of the country, PayPoint India has launched a series of 'Micro-ATMs' (m-ATMs) in the thriving North-East India. The topography of India's North-Eastern states is traditionally deprived of elemental banking services, mainly ATM facilities, for long. Further, the hilly terrain often strains the connectivity, leading to inconsistent and incomplete banking transactions. The m-ATMs, a mini version of the large ATMs, can be deployed in rural areas from where people travel long distances just to access the nearest ATM or a bank. The handheld machines can be set up at local Kirana shops and use the same cash box of these shops, keeping the cash flow consistent and available at all times. As per the Reserve Bank of India

 भारतीय किसान खेतों में खूब मेहनत करते हैं, पर ज्यादातर किसान इसलिए अपनी मेहनत का अच्छा फल नहीं प्राप्त कर पाते क्योंकि वे अपनी जानकारी के अनुसार पारंपरिक कृषि पर जोर देते हैं। जबकि आज के जमाने में कृषि क्षेत्र में कई बड़े अनुसंधान हुए हैं जिसके परिणाम स्वरूप कई नए कृषि उत्पादों की मदद से कृषि आधुनिक होने के साथ साथ लाभकारी भी हो गई है। इंदौर की एग्रीटेक कंपनी ग्रामोफ़ोन भी किसानों को आधुनिक और स्मार्ट खेती की तरफ आगे बढ़ाने के लिए काम कर रही है। मध्यप्रदेश के खरगोन जिले के खेड़ीखानपुरा गांव के निवासी विकास पाटीदार ने ग्रामोफ़ोन की सानिध्य में अपनी पारंपरिक कृषि को आधुनिक बनाया जिसका लाभ अब उन्हें देखने को मिल रहा है।  ग्रामोफ़ोन की सलाह पर ही विकास ने अपनी मिर्च की फसल में मिर्च समृद्धि किट का उपयोग किया था। समृद्धि किट की वजह से मिर्च की फसल में अच्छी बढ़वार हुई और उपज भी अच्छा मिल गया। विकास जी बताते हैं की पहले मिर्च की फसल में पौधों के सूख जाने की समस्या आती थी पर इस बार सभी पौधे हरे रहे और सूखने की समस्या बिलकुल नहीं आई। डेढ़ एकड़ के खेत में विकास जी को मिर्च की उपज से 7-8 लाख की आमदनी हु

 जैसा कि हम सभी जानते हैं, अंतर्राष्ट्रीय समुदाय ने संयुक्त राष्ट्र के माध्यम से सतत् विकास के 17 लक्ष्यों की ऐतिहासिक योजना शुरू की है। इसका उद्देश्य वर्ष 2030 तक अधिक संपन्न, समर्थ, सक्षम, समतावादी और संरक्षित विश्व की रचना करना है, जिस ओर हमारा भारत भी कदम बढ़ा चुका है। 2030 के भारत के सतत विकास (#SDG2030, #SustainableDevelopmentGoals2030) के इन लक्ष्यों के अंतर्गत ऐसे विषय शामिल किए गए हैं, जिनसे हम लम्बे समय से जूझ रहे हैं, जैसे गरीबी, भुखमरी, शिक्षा, स्वच्छता, स्वास्थ्य, जलवायु, अन्य प्राणियों, जल और पेड़-पौधों की सुरक्षा, आर्थिक वृद्धि, औद्योगिक विकास तथा अन्य। यदि हम बात करें पहले लक्ष्य यानि शून्य गरीबी की, तो अतीत के साथ ही आज भी हमारे देश में लाखों लोग ऐसे हैं, जिनके पास तन पर पहनने के लिए कपड़ा और खाने के लिए रोटी नहीं है। यदि वास्तव में इस लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति करना हमारा उद्देश्य है, तो गरीबों की मदद करने के बजाए उन्हें सक्षम बनाएं, जिससे कि आने वाले समय में वे अपने से ऊँचे ओहदे वाले लोगों के सामने झुककर नहीं, बल्कि गर्व से सीना तानकर खड़े हों। सही मायने में यही उनके लिए सबसे ब
