Setting up of a dedicated Export Promotion Council is one of the four components of the NTM which is aimed main- ly to achieve a 10 per cent growth rate every year until NTM ends. Currently, India’s export is $93 mn whereas global market is estimated to be $11 bn for 12 apparel products under tech- nical textiles. The Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) Chairman A. Sakthivel said: “Of the 207 items notified as technical textiles in January 2019, there are 12 products of apparel. The global market for these 12 products is estimated to be $11 billion, though India’s exports is only $93 million.” “This indicates a huge potential in these products if dedicated export promotion activities are undertaken for these products.” = + ,- ././ India favourites to wrap up T20 series # /F347F 9< he chatter around the con- *=1D+ cussion substitute will Tremain as a resurgent 8 The Australian India, unlikely to be alarmed by national selectors have brought all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s in off-spinner Nathan Lyon to absence, seek a series win in the their T20I squad for the last second T20 International against two matches against India as Australia here at Sydney Cricket they released pace bowling Ground on Sunday. all-rounder Cameron Green A series win will be an for Australia A’s warm-up ideal confidence booster for against India A that begins on India before the visitors hit Sunday. / # 0 $0% ) > P ?@ Test match mode.

Ayurveda and Yoga focus on early detection and prevention and there lies their strength. Both these great sciences of health and longevity prescribe some routines, rituals, diets and exercise recommendations to align with univer- ==>==> sal intelligence and reduce their nega- tive effects so we live our lives with minimum resistance and in a less antagonistic manner, and preserve our state of well being and health.

()/+(()/+( To maintain an internal balance to ever shifting qualities externally in nature, our Dinacharya or daily rou- tines, eating habits, exercise regimen, lifestyles and rhythms should also ide- ally adapt to the six changing seasons or the Ritus. Ayurveda divides a year or 12 months into six seasons of approxi- mately two months each. 1. Early Winter or Hemanta Ritu 2. Late Winter or Shishir Ritu 3. Spring or Vasanta Ritu, 4. Summer or Greeshma Ritu 5. Rainy Season or Varsha Ritu, and 6. Autumn or Sharad Ritu The seasonal variations can effect the human body and have to be taken into consideration for designing our daily prescribed routines to negate mis- takes in intelligence in adapting to changes in nature within and around us.
