The Health Insurance industry undergoing a drastic shift both from consumer behavior and industry to cope with it regulators are bound to bring changes for the welfare of the consumers.

 

IRDA or Insurance Regulator Development Authority is the apex body that controls the insurance industry as RBI controls the Banks. Health insurance history in India began with an Employee's state insurance scheme (ESIS) in 1948. It was introduced as an umbrella of social security for blue-collar workers of the organized sector. It provides health care services through a network of dispensaries and hospitals that impaneled with ESIS.

North East is a cauldron of various cultures, faiths, traditions and customs. It constitutes an amazing rainbow of faiths and rituals. What is called indigenous faith is in fact the original faith of our people during the less scientific civilizations. Their pristine closeness to nature, their unflinching beliefs in the different spirits that govern their life is a priceless treasure of our country. We may call their faith either Animism or Pantheism which is indeed a vital offshoot of Sanatana Dharma. The North East now comprises eight states, each having its distinct history, a well defined geography, a vibrant culture and much valued traditions. An attempt shall be made here to look a bit more closely at some of the faiths, its associated rituals as practiced by our people for centuries inhabiting the remote, far flung areas of our country. Most of them still live in close proximity with nature untouched by the mad waves of materialism. Pantheism or Animism remains their invisible guiding spirit, silently inspiring and shaping their life from birth to death.

GENDER, as a term generally indicates either of the two sexes (male and female), but while referring the term according to social and cultural arena it denotes a fabricated construct rather than a biological one .With such convention, gender creates a tendency of biasness which occurs when one individual or group unconsciously attributes certain attitudes and stereotypes to another person or group of people. This genesis of gender is delineated by Buchi Emecheta in her aspiring novel “THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD”(1979) where she points out the difference concerning with three generations in which she deliberately mentioned the colonialist influence, along with the supremacy of the social representation or construction. There are basically competing theories about the cause of gender inequality in Africa, but scholars suggest its genesis is in slavery and colonialism.

They are Seven Sisters. And all are ace archers. Are they the reincarnations of Chitrangada, an epic Mahabharata lead role and wife of the supreme marksman Arjuna?
Something to wonder at the lingering of tradition! Is not it?
Yes! It is!
Sometimes in some corners of India, we find the strange continuance of traditions of ancient legends and mythology. The Seven Sisters is one of them.
On exercising our brain a little, we can realize this strange fact in the case of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. They all are strongly connected with archery mirroring mythology, the epics and history. Add a comment Read more: Hitting the Bull’s Eye

The Central Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is contemplating for privatisation of the nationalised banks for quite some. It was not surprising when the decision was announced by the Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, while presenting the budget recently. She also made it crystal-clear that the government’s intention is to fine-tune the performance of the public sector banks and the privatisation would only augur well for their long-term growth. She was also not averse to informing that henceforth the private banks would take care of the government-related work like the Income Tax and Pension scheme, instead of the nationalised banks, speaks volume of the government’s seriousness in facilitating the process.

In a distressing development in Southeast Asia, the military Junta in Myanmar seized power in a coup and ousted civilian, leader of the Government, Aung San Suu Kyi and declared a state of emergency in Myanmar for a year.

The military detained Aung San Suu Kyi along with other members of her party, declaring the National League for Democracy (NLD) party’s landslide victory at the November 2020 polls as null and void. This turn of event is very significant to India, given the fact that Myanmar is a neighbouring country with a lot of shared economic as well as strategic interests.
