Situation of the economy is very critical. According to some estimates, India’s economy may have contracted by as much as a fourth in the June quarter because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown that ensued. The government has taken several measures to revive the Indian economy. It is expected that the economy will return to high growth trajectory soon. While the countrywide lockdown brought most economic activities to a grinding halt in urban areas, rural India continued to be normal in view of exemptions from restrictions allowed to farmers to conduct farming operations. These exemptions helped to maintain continuity in the supply chain. Food Corporation of India and State Governments carried out massive procurement of rabi crops, mainly wheat. A vibrant agricultural sector is a guarantee for meeting the primary needs of the poor, vis-à-vis the rural demand may be maintained. Low crude oil price is also a boon for Indian economy which is largely dependent on oil imports. Covid-related crash in crude oil prices has proved to be a windfall for India. Import bill has reduced, making the current account deficit in the balance of payments more manageable. India is enjoying enormous benefits as a result of the current low prices of crude oil. The recent global political scenario is also helpful for reviving the Indian economy as India has become a preferred destination for foreign investment. The Government also insisting on a import substitution drive through the slogan raised by the Hon’ble PM, ‘Vocal for Local’. Though we are in a very dark state of affair presently, but the silver line is already showing and we have to fight hard to overcome this dark state to wake up to a new morning.

Special Feature 29 3 Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: IX, August 2020 Editorial: The covid-19 pandemic has disrupted businesses like never before, but it has also created an opportunity to invest in digital solutions that will build resilience in the long-term. The demand for digital solutions across cloud services, consumer-facing businesses, and education, among others, has gone up significantly during the pandemic. However, businesses are first and foremost investing on keeping track of their workforce and operations functional. Traditionally, sectors outside of new age businesses, banking and financial services, have not turned wholeheartedly towards automation solutions yet. The lockdown has clearly demonstrated how technologically-enabled businesses have thrived during the crisis, but many businesses are still figuring out where they want to start their digital journey in the new normal. The entire focus of enterprises during the lockdown has gone from digitalisation for cost optimization to business continuity. The pandemic has of course increased the level of automation. Sectors such as retail and industrial manufacturing are still catching up to these solutions, but others such as financial services are ahead of the curve. However, the challenge is to ensure a non-disruptive supply chain to channel the demand effectively. The state of digitalisation in India today is not the highest. In the 7 crore MSMEs in the country, contributing to approximately one-third of the gross domestic product, the level of digitalisation is not very high as compared to other countries even as we crossed 73 years of our Independence in this month. Definitely, automation and digital methods can help SMEs ride this crisis and come out stronger than how they entered it. Covid-19 has accelerated digital transformation of three years within three months with massive adoption of digital solutions for supply chain management and remote collaboration among other areas. However, access to relevant data sets for firms to start their journey across sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and healthcare is still a stumbling block. As businesses started moving to the unlock phase in addition to workforce safety, they wanted to know how they could engage with employees, customers and partners better through digital solutions.Smaller companies are much more agile in the context of such change and are taking the leap in such engagements, be it in terms of creating apps for their sales teams or to track employee distribution for better visibility of how their resources are being used. In this edition we are sharing our thoughts on Digital MSME. Regular features are obviously less in contents but rich in deliverables. Hope the shared information will help you to stride to expand your vision further. Debabrata Mitra Editor : Sri Debabrata Mitra, Deputy Director (G&C) Sub Editor : Sri Chitresh Biswas, Asstt.

  • BA Semester VI- the Lower Section Society Movement (Peasant, Labour and Lower Caste)- (HISKB 604)
    BA Semester VI- The Lower Section Society Movement (Peasant, Labour and Lower Caste)- (HISKB 604) Dr. Mukesh Kumar (Department of History) KMC Language University Lucknow, U.P.-22013 UNIT-I Revolt in Bengal and Eastern India- The establishment and spread of the East India Company's rule in Bengal and its adjoining areas resulted in many civil rebellions and tribal uprisings beginning from the latter half of the eighteenth century. The British rule in Bengal after 1757 brought about a new economic order which was disastrous for the zamindars, peasants, and artisans alike. The famine of 1770 and the callousness on the part of the Company to redress the sufferings of the common man were seen as direct consequences of the alien rule. Sanyasi Revolt: Also known as the Sanyasi-Fakir rebellion, it was a confrontation between armed wandering monks and the Company's forces in Bengal and Bihar which began in the 1760s and continued until the middle of 1800s. These groups were severely affected by the high revenue demands, resumption of rent-free tenures, and commercial monopoly by the Company. The Company also placed restrictions on their access to holy places. This resulted in organized raids by the sanyasis on the Company's factories and state treasuries in retaliation. Only after prolonged military actions, this revolt was contained. Chuar Uprising: Famine, enhanced land revenue demands, and economic distress forced the Chuar tribesmen of Midnapur district to take up arms against the Company. The revolted lasted from 1766 to 1772 and then again surfaced between 1795 and 1816. 1 Ho Uprising: The Ho and Munda tribesmen of Chhota Nagpur and Singhbhum challenged the Company's forces in 1820-1822, again in 1831 and the area remained disturbed till 1837.

  • Sidhu and Kanhu
    © 2019 JETIR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) The Literary (Re)Presentation of the Tribal Heroes: Sidhu and Kanhu Teresa Tudu Assistant Professor Department of English Avvaiyar Government College for Women, Karaikal, Puducherry (Senior Research Fellow, BHU) Abstract The Santhal Revolt of 1855-56, also considered as the first peasant movement, was led by two young Santhals- Sidhu and Kanhu. This revolt which was believed to be guided by their God- ‘Thakur’ was aimed to get rid of the clutches of oppressive ‘Dikus’ and the Outsiders viz. Britishers. These two leaders, who have now acquired the status of gods and are worshipped by their tribesmen, have been extensively researched and written about. Even, they have been significantly mentioned in the stories, novels, poems, and songs. Although, they have been highly venerated by their tribesmen, some authors, and administrators of Colonial period differ in their opinion of these heroes. They have pointed out some drawbacks in their character and tried to showcase them merely as common men. This paper is aimed to critically analyze the personality of these two tribal leaders- Sidhu and Kanhu with the help of their portrayal in the available literature. This would lead us to draw a transparent and authentic image of these leaders. Keywords: Tribals, Revolt, Leaders, Hero-worship, Literature. I. INTRODUCTION Every year on 30th June Santhal folks celebrate Hool diwas commemorating their brave leaders of ‘Santhal Rebellion’ of 1855, Sidhu and Kanhu. Thousands of Santhals gather at Bhognadih, the birth place of Sidhu and Kanhu, and the Santhal rebellion.

    4.1.2 CULTURAL/YOGA/GAMES/SPORTS 1. Cultural Activities The overall ambience of Visva Bharati truly demands exceptionality. Here learning is a holistic all-encompassing process rather than a regulated and stifling experience. Large portions of the campus are open to the general public as Santiniketan and Visva-Bharati are as much cultural pilgrimage spaces as they are educational institutes. The overall ambience of the university is a small town with students, teachers, administrative staff rubbing their shoulders in the common campus space with locals and visitors. It must be noted that entry of visitors into academic classes and spaces during the academic exercise are not permitted. Many of the university’s facilities and spaces – washrooms, roads, museums, parts of the core Ashrama areas during specific times – are open to public viewing and visiting. During cultural events and utsavs in Visva-Bharati’s packed academic calendar, visitors are allowed into the campus especially during the two major events of Vasanta Utsav and Poush Mela. During those times, a large number of Visva-Bharati facilities and spaces are open to the public albeit under careful scrutiny and control. 1. Poush Mela: Poush Mela is celebrated for three days in mid-December that takes place in the large Mela Maath opposite the ashram. Poush Mela is an annual fair and festival that marks the harvest season. The event is characterized by its live performances of Bengali folk music, especially Bauls, tribal dance (Santhali), firework displays. The rows of stalls here sell a wide variety of products like toys, garments, books, household items, utensils and local handicrafts.

Work- ing together with the community is the key principle for the progressive development of society. Keywords social responsibility – higher education – Tagore and Santiniketan (Visva-Bharati) 1 Introduction Turn a tree into a lag and it will burn for you, but it will never bear living flower and fruit. (Rabindranath Tagore) Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are centres of knowledge, intelligent tal- ent, teaching and research. Their ways of functioning and, indeed, their entire existence has both a direct and indirect relationship of responsibility with society, because they are the place where the future workforce is nurtured. Traditionally, HEIs were expected only to perform their core duties of teach- ing, research and extension activities; however, the scenario has now changed. They are now expected to also exhibit their societal importance through these three functions, by taking their knowledge to nearby communities, as a form of social responsibility. HEIs are, thus, not only a place where theoretical knowledge is imparted and degrees are awarded to students – they are also © Sarita Anand, 2021 | DOI: 10.1163/9789004459076_017 This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the CC BY-NC 4.0 License.
