The decision took as part of the announcements made by the Central government under the Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan. By this, the government opened the coal and mining sector for competition, capital, participation tech- nology. He criticized the earlier govern- ment policies to keep the coal sector closed. PM pointed out the irony that India has the fourth largest coal reserve in the world, is the second largest pro- ducer in the world but is also the second largest coal importer. The government of India set a target to gasify around 100 million tonnes of coal by 2030. 9th rank in FDIE India became the world’s 9th largest recipient of the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2019 with 51 billion dollars of inflows, as per the World Investment Report 2020 published by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). India received $ 42 billion of FDI in 2018 when India ranked 12 among the top 20 host economies in the world. But the report hoped a lower but positive economic growth in India in the post- COVID19 pandemic period. Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan On 20 June 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan (GKRA). This programme creates jobs for mil- lions of migrant workers who returned home during the coronavirus induced lockdown across the country. Rs. 50,000 crore will be spent on this mega campaign and the scheme cov- ers 116 districts in the 6 states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Odisha. Each of these states has a large number of labourers returning home after being left unemployed by the coronavirus lockdown. GKRA create a durable infrastructure along with boost- ing employment opportunities. Lying of fibre optics cable, railway works, Rurban mission jobs, sanitation works, waste management, poultry, farm ponds and training through Krishi Vigyan Kendras will be given to the migrant workers under the programme. First National Report on Climate Crisis India released its national report on the state of the climate crisis first time. The report by the name ‘Assessment Of Climate Change Over The Indian Region’ prepared under the aegis of Ministry of Earth Science (MoES). The report forecasted that annual rainfall increase along with more severe cyclones and paradoxically more droughts. The average temperature of India raised by 0.7 degree Celsius in 1901- 2018. This has resulted due to the emis- sion of greenhouse gases, and it is pro- jected to rise by 2.7 degree Celsius by 2099 in case of if essential care is taken on climate change and in the worst case it will rise to 4.4 degree Celsius. In the Indian region, the April-June heatwaves will become four times more frequent by 2099. Amara Veeraswamy Subject Expert Writer General Awareness Others Albert II of Monaco Foundation Award The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation Award conferred on Deccan Development Society (DDS), the NGO (non-governmental organization) having a base at Hyderabad. The award will be given to organ- isations with a deep commitment to preserving the planet. The award was conferred in recognition for the work of Deccan Development Society women to rehabilitate degraded lands and promote biodi- versity. DDS organized a network of small and marginal farmers and helps them in growing millets in the rain-fed areas of Telangana. The women run seed-banks, protecting biodiversity. The organization also helps in providing market linkages by con- necting them with the urban con- sumer and bulk buyers of millets. Tech pioneers ZestMoney and Stellapps, the two Indian firms found a place the new list of 100 Tech Pioneers released by the World Economic Forum (WEF), which described these enti- ties as future headline-makers addressing global issues with cut- ting-edge technology. The selected companies think dif- ferently and stand out as potential game-changers. The WEF said that ZestMoney, using its technology to transform the financial service industry, offering affordable credit to those who are unable to access this through traditional finance paths. Stellapps is a data-led, the inter- net of things (IoT) based, farm-to- consumer dairy supply chain digiti- zation service provider. World Refugee day World Refugee Day observed on 20 June every year dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees throughout the world. The day honours the courage and deter- mination of those who have been forced to abandon their homes and flee. The theme of World Refugee Day this year is "every action counts". The UNO Refugee Agency is ask- ing people from all walks of life to join the #WithRefugees with a mes- sage that everyone can make a dif- ference, and every action counts. The people who fled their homes and countries due to a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion is a refugee. International International Yoga Day celebrations 6th International Day of Yoga celebra- tions celebrated throughout the world on 21st June. The celebrations com- menced with a message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi who said that Yoga brings people together and gives a message of universal brotherhood. The Theme of Yoga Day 2020 is ‘Yoga at home, Yoga with family’. Yoga gives physical strength; mental balance and emotional stability to confidently face the challenges occur in day to day life. The World Health Organization (WHO) mentions yoga as a means to improve health in its Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030: More active people for a healthier world. Earlier, the observation of International Day of Yoga marked by mass demonstrations of Yoga in public places. But this year, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the main focus is on encouraging people to do Yoga at their homes with the participation of the entire family. The Union Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey said that over 96,000 people had trained as Yoga Instructors and Trainers under Skill India Mission. They have been trained through different skilling initia- tives under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) IMD ranking India retained 43rd rank in the annual World Competitiveness Index compiled by Institute for Management Development (IMD). Singapore retained its top position on the 63-nation list. Denmark and Switzerland stood in the 2nd and 3rd ranking respectively. Singapore’s success lies in its strong economic performance which stems from robust international trade and investment, employment and labor market measures. India’s rank is low due to traditional weaknesses like poor infrastructure and insufficient educa- tion investment keeping. But IMD report hailed the perfor- mance of India shown some recorded improvements in areas like long-term employment growth, current account balance, high-tech exports, foreign currency reserves, public expenditure on education, political stability and overall productivity. Report on Children Violence On 18 June 2020, the United Nations Orgnisation(UNO) released a first of its kind report “Global Status Report on Preventing Violence Against Children 2020”. The report observed that half of the world’s children, or approximately one billion children each year are affected by physical, sexual or psycho- logical violence, suffering injuries, dis- abilities and death because countries have failed to follow established strate- gies to protect them. It charted progress in 155 countries against the “INSPIRE” framework, a set of seven strategies for preventing and responding to violence against children. The report estimated that one out of two children aged 2–17 years suffer some form of violence each year. Around 40,000 children were victims of homicide in 2017. The report also said that 300 million children aged 2–4 years regularly experience violent discipline by their caregivers.

Bharat Abhiyan. By this, the government

opened the coal and mining sector for

competition, capital, participation tech-

nology. He criticized the earlier govern-

ment policies to keep the coal sector

closed. PM pointed out the irony that

India has the fourth largest coal reserve

in the world, is the second largest pro-

ducer in the world but is also the second

largest coal importer. The government

of India set a target to gasify around 100

million tonnes of coal by 2030.

9th rank in FDIE

India became the world’s 9th largest

recipient of the Foreign Direct

Investment (FDI) in 2019 with 51 billion

dollars of inflows, as per the World

Investment Report 2020 published by

the UN Conference on Trade and

Development (UNCTAD). India

received $ 42 billion of FDI in 2018

when India ranked 12 among the top

20 host economies in the world. But

the report hoped a lower but positive

economic growth in India in the post-

COVID19 pandemic period.

Garib Kalyan Rojgar

Abhiyaan

On 20 June 2020, Prime Minister

Narendra Modi launched the Garib

Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan (GKRA).

This programme creates jobs for mil-

lions of migrant workers who returned

home during the coronavirus induced

lockdown across the country.

Rs. 50,000 crore will be spent on this

mega campaign and the scheme cov-

ers 116 districts in the 6 states of Bihar,

Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,

Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Odisha.

Each of these states has a large

number of labourers returning home

after being left unemployed by the

coronavirus lockdown. GKRA create a

durable infrastructure along with boost-

ing employment opportunities.

Lying of fibre optics cable, railway

works, Rurban mission jobs, sanitation

works, waste management, poultry,

farm ponds and training through Krishi

Vigyan Kendras will be given to the

migrant workers under the programme.

First National Report on

Climate Crisis

India released its national report on

the state of the climate crisis first time.

The report by the name ‘Assessment

Of Climate Change Over The Indian

Region’ prepared under the aegis of

Ministry of Earth Science (MoES). The

report forecasted that annual rainfall

increase along with more severe

cyclones and paradoxically more

droughts.

The average temperature of India

raised by 0.7 degree Celsius in 1901-

2018. This has resulted due to the emis-

sion of greenhouse gases, and it is pro-

jected to rise by 2.7 degree Celsius by

2099 in case of if essential care is taken

on climate change and in the worst case

it will rise to 4.4 degree Celsius.

In the Indian region, the April-June

heatwaves will become four times

more frequent by 2099.

International Yoga Day

celebrations

6th International Day of Yoga celebra-

tions celebrated throughout the world

on 21st June. The celebrations com-

menced with a message from Prime

Minister Narendra Modi who said that

Yoga brings people together and gives

a message of universal brotherhood.

The Theme of Yoga Day 2020 is

‘Yoga at home, Yoga with family’. Yoga

gives physical strength; mental balance

and emotional stability to confidently

face the challenges occur in day to day

life. The World Health Organization

(WHO) mentions yoga as a means to

improve health in its Global Action Plan

on Physical Activity 2018–2030: More

active people for a healthier world.

Earlier, the observation of

International Day of Yoga marked by

mass demonstrations of Yoga in public

places. But this year, due to the

COVID-19 outbreak, the main focus is

on encouraging people to do Yoga at

their homes with the participation of the

entire family.

Development and Entrepreneurship

Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey said that

over 96,000 people had trained as

Yoga Instructors and Trainers under

IMD ranking

India retained 43rd rank in the annual

World Competitiveness Index compiled

by Institute for Management

Development (IMD). Singapore retained

its top position on the 63-nation list.

Denmark and Switzerland stood in the

2nd and 3rd ranking respectively.

Singapore’s success lies in its

strong economic performance which

stems from robust international trade

and investment, employment and labor

market measures. India’s rank is low

due to traditional weaknesses like poor

infrastructure and insufficient educa-

tion investment keeping.

But IMD report hailed the perfor-

mance of India shown some recorded

improvements in areas like long-term

employment growth, current account

balance, high-tech exports, foreign

currency reserves, public expenditure

on education, political stability and

overall productivity.

Report on Children Violence

On 18 June 2020, the United Nations

Orgnisation(UNO) released a first of its

kind report “Global Status Report on

Preventing Violence Against Children

2020”. The report observed that half of

the world’s children, or approximately

one billion children each year are

affected by physical, sexual or psycho-

logical violence, suffering injuries, dis-

abilities and death because countries

have failed to follow established strate-

gies to protect them.

It charted progress in 155 countries

against the “INSPIRE” framework, a

set of seven strategies for preventing

and responding to violence against

children.

The report estimated that one out of

two children aged 2–17 years suffer

some form of violence each year.

Around 40,000 children were victims of

homicide in 2017.

The report also said that 300 million

children aged 2–4 years regularly

experience violent discipline by their

caregivers.

IMD ranking

India retained 43rd rank in the annual

World Competitiveness Index compiled

by Institute for Management

Development (IMD). Singapore retained

its top position on the 63-nation list.

Denmark and Switzerland stood in the

2nd and 3rd ranking respectively.

Singapore’s success lies in its

strong economic performance which

stems from robust international trade

and investment, employment and labor

market measures. India’s rank is low

due to traditional weaknesses like poor

infrastructure and insufficient educa-

tion investment keeping.

But IMD report hailed the perfor-

mance of India shown some recorded

improvements in areas like long-term

employment growth, current account

balance, high-tech exports, foreign

currency reserves, public expenditure

on education, political stability and

overall productivity.

Report on Children Violence

On 18 June 2020, the United Nations

Orgnisation(UNO) released a first of its

kind report “Global Status Report on

Preventing Violence Against Children

2020”. The report observed that half of

the world’s children, or approximately

one billion children each year are

affected by physical, sexual or psycho-

logical violence, suffering injuries, dis-

abilities and death because countries

have failed to follow established strate-

gies to protect them.

It charted progress in 155 countries

against the “INSPIRE” framework, a

set of seven strategies for preventing

and responding to violence against

children.

The report estimated that one out of

two children aged 2–17 years suffer

some form of violence each year.

Around 40,000 children were victims of

homicide in 2017.

The report also said that 300 million

children aged 2–4 years regularly

experience violent discipline by their

caregivers.
