It is bounded by iJihar and Orissa on the east, Khandesh and a part of Central India on the west. Central India, on the north and the GodSvari and the PaingangS on the south. Originally the region was not called Madhyapradesh. It is a cluster of different states and was never ruled by one king. Kodern Madhyapradesh was shaped after the advent of the British regime. Today a considerable portion of the country, lying between the laardhff, T5pi and the PaingaAgS is called Vidarbha. ”The Madhyapradesh excluding the districts of Sagar and Jabalpur that is below the NarmadS was included in * Dakshinfipatha^. * Dakshii^Spatha* covered the coun> tries between the NariRadS and the K^fnS. This term was thus applied in the centuries preceding and infflediately following the Christian era." The Aitareya Brfifunaijia describes Bhima, the king of Vidarbha. The region is mentioned in the Jalminlya 3 4 Upanisad BrShmana. The Brhadlranvaka Upanlsad mentions. ^ Kane, P .V ., JASB XXIV, 621. 2 V II.34. 5 11.440. ^ Vedic Index. 11.297. a sage named Vldarbhl Kaundinya.

  • The Cultural Significance of Personal Names in India Has Been Stressed by Previous Writers.^ Elaborate Rules Are Laid Dovm by Different Grhyasutras
    134 The cultural significance of personal names in India has been stressed by previous writers.^ Elaborate rules are laid dovm by different Grhyasutras. There is a great diver­ gence of view as to the time when the child was named. Several times are suggested in the ancient literature and in the sutras and smrtis. It appears from Kane’ s study that the literary data about naming falls into three or four distinct periods such as, (1) Vedic, (2) Sutra, (3) Smrti and (4) Nibandha. Vedic Period In the vedic period a man had at least two names. One of these was supposed to be secret (guhya) known to the parents only. Thus, in the literature of the period he is referred to by two names. One of them was his own name and the other either his gotra name or patronymic or sometimes (rarely) matronymic. When the three names ar& mentioned, the first name was a person’ s ordinary name, the second a derivative from his father’ s name and the last derived from his gotra, e.g. Trasadasyu (his own name), Paurukutsya (son of Purukutsa), 2 Gairiksita (descendant of Giriksita). ^ Kane, P.V ., ’ Naming a Child’ , IHQ XIV, 224-44. Sankalia H.5., 2 Rg V.33.8. 135 SGtra Period Very elaborate rules are given in the Gyhya i>Qtras about naming a child. They may be grouped into three classes : (i) The Aevalayana^ and the Apastamba^ tell us that after or on the 10th day a son should be given a name be­ ginning with (a) Sonant, semi-vowel in the middle and visarga at its end and consisting either of two or four syllables, two for firm position and four, for spiritual glory.

    The Made in India App Landscape Report APPNIRBHAR BHARAT 1 2 APPNIRBHAR BHARAT Message from Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad Union Minister for Law & Justice, Communications and Electronics & Information Technology, Government of India APPNIRBHAR BHARAT 3 Foreword Over the past few years, India has undergone a rapid transformation into a digitally empowered society. With a digital population of over 600 million, India is today ranked the world’s second-largest online market. The country’s startup ecosystem has also grown to become the third- largest globally, with its entrepreneurs and tech innovators Shradha Sharma building lasting solutions to solve for not only India, but also Founder & CEO, for the world. YourStory India is also the top country in the world in terms of the number of apps installed and used per month. India’s app ecosystem has, in fact, never been in a greater position of strength, thanks to the renewed enthusiasm and vigour among Indian techies, innovators, and entrepreneurs to build from India, for India and the world. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently raised the clarion call for India to become ‘vocal for local’ and Aatmanirbhar, or self-reliant, he also put the spotlight on the need for an ‘Aatmanirbhar App Ecosystem’ when he launched the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge. “Today, when the entire nation is working towards creating an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, it is a good opportunity to give direction to their efforts, momentum to their hard work, and mentorship to their talent to evolve Apps which can satisfy our market as well as compete with the world,” PM Modi said.

  • Demonetisation- a Historical Perspective
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2551-8260 Volume 07 , Issue 11 , 2020 DEMONETISATION- A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE SyedSalehaJaved Assistant Professor, H.R. College of Commerce and Economics, HSNC University, Mumbai, Maharashtra Abstract Demonetisation has become a much discussed and debated term post 8thNovember2016. Prime Minister NarendraModi took to national television on 20;00 hours IST, in an unscheduled address to the nation to announce the demonetization of the Rupees 500 and Rupees 1000 currency notes of the Mahatma Gandhi series with almost immediate effect. The ban on the two currencies which together accounted for almost 15.44 lakhcrore or 86 % of the total currency in circulation in India was to be enforced from midnight onwards ie roughly 4 hours from the time of announcement leaving almost no time to the citizens to respond. More than a year after the event and almost 99% of demonetized currency legally converted opinions continue to remain divided and as extreme as on day one. But the concept of demonetisation seemed to have gained traction globally as three countries namely Australia, Pakistan and Venezuela have announced plans for demonetisation of their currency post November,2016 albeit in varying degrees .The current paper is an attempt to study the concept of demonetisation and investigate the history of demonetisation with its resultant impact on the economy with special reference to India.The study is based entirely on secondary data obtained from website publications and reports of reputed institutions. Key Words: Currency, Demonetisation, History, Impact Introduction 8th of November, 2016 resembled any other day in November in India till Prime Minister NarendraModi took to national television on 20;00 hours IST, in an unscheduled address to the nation to announce the demonetisation of the Rupees 500 and Rupees 1000 currency notes of the Mahatma Gandhi series with almost immediate effect.
