Everything was moving in its normal pace but suddenly towards the end of 2019, the world got its first report of Corona Virus casualty from Wuhan province of China. In India, we almost felt that we are immune to the virus but towards the end of March 2020, the virus slowly started spreading its horrific effect. Gradually, the whole country and the world came under the unprecedented grip of Covid-19. The entire world order underwent a sea change in all spheres and altered into what came to be termed as the "new normal". The term pandemic, which we have covered in theory until now, came alive in real life experience. As far as academia is concerned, since March 2019 till date; from admission to lectures, everything has turned online, and learners and teachers both have taken recourse to online as a mode of teaching-learning process. Despite the gradual acceptance of this extreme shift, I would like to bring forth a few concerns that emerge, as I see this tussle between life and livelihood. It goes without saying that a vast section of our population suffered a major backlash so far as employability is concerned so much so that it might take years before we restore our economic standards. Many small scale wage earners, small entrepreneurs and daily labourers have severely borne the brunt of the pandemic. There is news of companies resorting to major lay-offs which is also adding to the overall gloom. In a modern and constantly evolving society, problems do give a chance for reorientation. 6 However this time conditions of pandemic have thrown a challenge which requires a completely different approach to deal with it effectively. Among all that, I would also like to bring to your attention the conditions of a large section of senior citizens, who have been staying in a state of absolute confinement. During my regular morning walks, it used to be heartening to see them out for walks who would assemble and be in a state of delightful communion as if their whole life depended on that. They would certainly look forward to the next day and face the otherwise lonely aspects of their lives as they have next day of togetherness to look forward to. Now, in the isolation of home and loss of the warmth of companions, there are increasing reports of psychological distress which is taking another dimension altogether in the existing pandemic. At our disposal, we have nothing else but to brave this situation and find better ways to tackle such situations and restore ourselves socially, economically, politically, technologically and above all, in the humanitarian index. The flip side of the entire distressing situation is that it has taught us to live with the bare minimum and reconsider our unending consumerist tendencies, the understanding of which may enable us to leave a better world for generations to come ! Each and everyone of us can make changes in the way we live our lives and become part of the solution.

  • Shivaji's Fortunes and Possessions
    The Life of Shivaji Maharaj, 414-420, 2017 (Online Edition). N. Takakhav Chapter 31 Shivaji’s Fortunes and Possessions N. S. Takakhav Professor, Wilson College, Bombay. Editor Published Online Kiran Jadhav 17 March 2018 The life story of Shivaji has been told in the preceding chapters. It is proposed in the present chapter to make an attempt to estimate the extent of his power, possessions and wealth at the time of his death. Nor should it be quite an uninteresting subject to make such an audit of his wealth and possessions, seeing that it furnishes an index to the measure of his success in his ceaseless toils of over thirty-six years, in that war of redemption which he had embarked upon against the despotism of the Mahomedan rulers of the country. At the time when the Rajah Shahaji transferred his allegiance from the fallen house of the Naizam Shahi sultans to that of the still prosperous Adil Shahi dynasty and in the service of that government entered upon the sphere of his proconsular authority in the Karnatic, he had left his Maharashtra jahgirs, as we have seen, under the able administration of the loyal Dadaji Kondadev. These jahgir estates comprised the districts of Poona, Supa, Indapur, Daramati and a portion of the Maval country. This was the sole patrimony derived by Shivaji from his illustrious father at the time he embarked upon his political career. Even these districts were held on the sufferance of the Bijapur government and were saddled with feudal burdens. That government was in a position to have cancelled or annexed these jahgirs at any time.

Depending on a traveller’s particular interests, he will seek information on local attractions and activities that meet his needs. The word “itinerary,” means, “the route of a journey or tour, or the proposed outline of one.” Anyone who has planned a trip would appreciate the importance of having some idea of what they plan to see and do at their destination. In fact, that kind of knowledge could determine the selection of the tourist destination itself. Also, suggested itineraries can be very helpful for independent travellers once they arrive at their destination. Traditionally, self-guiding pamphlets and guides serve this purpose. Itinerary development can be a powerful tool in organizing information about an area’s attractions and presenting that information to visitors in an appealing manner.

This is the birthplace of Shivaji, the founder of the Marat Empire. Shivnery's history has been known as a place of Buddhist rule since the 1st century AD. Its caves, rock architecture and water system indicate the presence of housing since the 1st century AD. This fort was used mainly to guard the old trade route from Desh to the port city of Kalyan. This place passed to the Sultanate of Bahmani after the weakening of the Delhi Sultanate in the 15th century, and then passed to the Sultanat Ahmadnagar in the 16th century. In 1595, a Marathi leader named Maloji Bhonsle, shivaji Bhosale's grandfather, was included by Ahmadnagar Sultan Bahadur Nizam Shah and gave him Shivnery and Chaban. Shivaji was born in Fort on February 19, 1630 (some accounts place it 1627), and spent his childhood there. Inside the fort is a small temple dedicated to the goddess Shiwai Devi, after whom Shivaji was named.

  • Private Life Insurance Companies - a Long Way to Go… Mr
    April 2011 Entire Research, Vol.-3, Issue-II 1 Private Life Insurance Companies - A Long Way to Go… Mr. V. S. Kannan Kamalanathan: Vice Principal, Head Department of Commerce, KES‘ Shroff College of Arts & Commerce, Mumbai. Abstract The Indian insurance industry was thrown open to competition from the private sector in the year 2000. The opening up of the industry has helped insurance customers in general and the private insurers in particular. The private insurers have been growing on an average of 77% since its inception. People purchased private sector‘s insurance products mainly because of their professional approach and better service. Yet, their customers are not ready to recommend them to others. This is because of lack of confidence and trustworthiness. So, the author is of the opinion that, private insurers have taken off but still have a long way to go… Introduction The year 2000 was a defining moment in the history of Indian Insurance. For the first time the sector was opened up to private sector. Today, Insurance happens to be a mega business in India. It is a business growing at the rate of 15 to 20 percent annually, together with banking services it adds about 7% of the GDP. Yet nearly 80% of the population is without life insurance cover. Though the life insurance penetration and the density has reached to 4.10% of GDP and $ 33.2 respectively in the year 2006-07, it is still very low when compared to international standards. Among the 87 countries studied for insurance penetration and density, India ranks 76th The Indian contribution to the world insurance business was just 1.68% in 2006.
