    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.

Khanna University of Michigan Law School [email protected] June 2017 Abstract On November 8, 2016, the Indian government made a surprise announcement that certain currency notes (representing 86% of the currency then in circulation) would no longer be legal tender (although they could be deposited in banks over a limited period). The stated reason for this sudden “demonetization” was to combat tax evasion and corruption associated with “unaccounted-for” cash.

Tillis, Ph.D. Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Department of Hispanic Studies iii ACKNOWLEDGMENT I would firstly like to acknowledge my family, especially my parents, who have always supported me in my endeavors. I would also like to thank my previous professors, and teachers, as without their support, I simply would not have been able to write this. Lastly, I would like to thank my four committee members who pushed me during these past two years of my life. I owe much, and more, to my chair Dr. Bentley, who not only aided me on my thesis research but also, in many ways, served as a lamp unto my feet on the uncharted path of my research. For my current knowledge of the anthropological discipline, I owe a great deal to Dr. Widmer; who would spend countless hours talking to me about the particular perspectives that pertained to my research. Dr. Widmer’s influence became particularly crucial in the resolution of this study’s methodology, and its wider potential to the anthropological discipline.
