Even though the second wave has yet to subside, Maharashtra is expected to be struck by a third wave by July or August, according to epidemiologists consulted by the government. He urged the state administration to plan for the third wave by bolstering infrastructure, stating that he did not want to see a replay of the current situation.

On Thursday, the CM convened a conference of divisional commissioners and district collectors to assess the Covid situation. Rajesh Tope, the state’s health minister, said, “We will have to become self-sufficient, especially in oxygen supply. The CM said he did not want to hear any reason for the shortage of oxygen supply then.”

The forecast is based on the recommendations of members of the state task force, which includes medical experts. They predicted after studying the patterns of Covid waves in different countries.

According to experts, a decrease in daily cases will likely begin by the end of May, but by the end of July or the first week of August, cases will begin to rise again, signaling the start of the state’s third wave, according to a senior official who requested anonymity.

The Health Minister said, “We want the local administration to be at an oxygen surplus by July. For this, orders for setting up 125 PSA (Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) technology) plants have been issued and in the next 10 days, their installation will begin across the state. District collectors have been directed to procure 5 to 10 LPM oxygen concentrators in proportion to 25% of the total active patients in their respective district so that all mild and serious patients will be able to get regular oxygen supply in any case.”

Officials said that epidemiologists believe the situation is stabilising as a result of the lockdown, and that regular cases may begin to decline as early as next month.

A senior official privy to the development said, “In the next two months, the situation will come under control but as soon as all the restrictions are lifted it is believed that the third wave will again hit the state.” 

Asking to ensure an adequate supply of medicines for the third wave, CM said, “ The situation has come under control to some extent owing to the strict restrictions but we have to be cautious and start planning for the third wave.”

Tope stated that tele-ICU facilities would be built for tertiary care of patients in all two-tier cities without a major government hospital or medical college as part of the preparations. Every patient’s bed will be equipped with high-resolution cameras, allowing expert doctors in major cities to monitor their condition.

He has also ordered a fire audit, a structural audit, and an oxygen supply audit. District collectors have been instructed to ensure that hospitals complete these audits on time.

As compared to the previous two months, the death toll in March was 2,495 people, while in February, when a second wave struck the state, 1,072 people died. According to a state health department report, the mortality rate rose to 0.70 percent this month (between April 1 and 27) from 0.38 percent last month. It was introduced at a meeting of the state cabinet on Wednesday.

According to Dr Subhash Salunkhe, state advisor on the Covid-19 and former director-general of health services, the virus is behaving strangely, which is adding to the death toll.

We will keep hearing Sajil Khandelwals name in the near future Shortly. Carefully picked script can do magic in anyone’s career. Hence, with relentless rape and assault cases all around the world, many sectors have taken a crucial step in the direction of fortification of women. Along with other divisions the glamour industry too has taken steps in showcasing the harsh reality. The act done by such irresolute people have also been showcased in various eminent movies like Mardaani, Kaabil, Mom, etc. It takes heart for a director to write a script on such a subject and nerve for an actor to act in it, considering a small twist and turn of fact could lead to a tumble in stardom for the artist rather than progress.

One such movie is currently in the making and being played by Sajil Khandelwal, the upcoming endearing artist from Lucknow, in the lead role. After successfully phasing through modelling, Sajil is all set to debut in Abshar Ahmad’s directorial – “Confessions of a Rapist”. Graphic Designer Turned Director from Lucknow, Abshar Ahmad has been doing direction for 4 years and he is all set to launch Sajil for their debut.

Sajil Khandelwal is well branded as a model and businessman and prior to pacing in this industry, he was a cricket enthusiast. His idols were Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, but he adored Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka a great deal. After performing feats in Cricket at a mere age of 15 he is geared up for his double role in the upcoming flick. When catechize about his latest release, Sajil had to articulate that he had finished the shoot and the motive behind the film was to spread serious message among the masses that rape is a crime and not only in India but athwart the globe.

Soon we will witness two aspects of the character, one a little tenacious, antagonist with a serious look, bearded with a long pony hair and second a modest, protagonist with clean shave and decent hair. A trailer is yet to be released about the portrayal and may soon be on view as the current Covid situation dwindles.

While commenting on the changing dynamics in the power Infrastructure, he has said that India will exceed its environmental goals under 2015 Paris Agreement

India, under the landmark Paris Agreement, 2015 has pledged to cut its Green House Gas (GHS) emissions and enhance non-conventional sources of energy amongst other objectives by 2030. Under the present regime, the nation has made some of the historic achievements in the direction to achieve the objectives including enhancing 250 percent renewable energy capacity from 2015 to 2020. Chairman of the GVK Group, GV Krishna Reddy, has said that India will not only achieve its clean energy goals but should exceed its objectives well in advance than the prescribed time. 

Changing clean energy dynamics in India 

Owing to the aggressive policy support by the PM Modi-led government, India is expected to cross the US$ 500 billion mark investments in the renewable energy market by 2028. The nation has planned to install 500GW renewable energy capacity by 2030, having 136GW installed capacity at present, which is around 36 percent of the total capacity. In his inaugural speech at the RE-Invest 2020 speech, PM Modi, said, “The renewable energy capacity in India is currently 136 GW. This is about 36 percent of our total capacity. By 2022, the share of renewable capacity will increase to over 220 GW.”

“India is one of the largest renewable power energy-producing countries in the world and is growing at the fastest speed amongst its peers. With the active collaboration of the government and the private players, we are far ahead of our objectives. I am sure that we will not only achieve our ultimate objectives before time but will far exceed them by the year 2030,” says GVK Reddy. 

Since 2015, India has attracted over US$ 64 billion in investments in the renewable sector across solar, wind, biomass, and hydropower projects. With 363 GW potential capacity, “India is an attractive place for foreign investments in the renewable energy sector. The government has been clearing hurdles that were there to smoothen the whole process for rapid infusions of investment in the sector. Foreign investments will strengthen private players in India clubbed with policy interventions by the government, we are on the way to become a world leader in the renewable power sector.”

Himself being an environmental protection-conscious businessperson, GV Krishna Reddy paved the way for GVK Group to become one of the first business groups with eco-friendly practices. Its infra-arm firm — GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd is known for developing some of the best pro-environment critical infrastructures for the country. While commenting on the issue, he also said that GVK Group has been adhering to the highest degree of environmental sustainability principles even before the concept came to the global limelight. “Environmental protection is inherent to every individual living in India. We just need to channelize these principles in a unified direction.”

A leading philanthropist and entrepreneur, GV Krishna Reddy was awarded Padma Bhushan by the Government of India in 2011. He is known for voicing his views on national and international environmental issues. 

According to people familiar with the matter, the government may waive the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on Covid-19 vaccines to reduce their cost—up to $1200 per dose in private hospitals beginning May 1 depending on the vaccine—to ease the burden on people and promote vaccination.

“The waiver will require approval of the GST Council. But, it is unlikely that any member will oppose the move that will provide relief to people in all states. Besides, it will not have significant revenue implications,” said a person.

On similar grounds, the government has already waived import duties on most important pharmaceutical raw materials used to produce drugs to treat coronavirus disease and is considering scrapping the 5% GST on Covid-19 vaccines, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The Union government announced on April 19 that, beginning May 1, a “liberalised and accelerated” phase-3 strategy for Covid-19 vaccination would enable vaccine manufacturers to release up to 50% of their supplies to state governments and the open market at a pre-determined price.

On April 28, SII reduced the rate of Covishield for state procurement. “As a philanthropic gesture on behalf of @SerumInstIndia, I hereby reduce the price to the states from ?400 to ?300 per dose, effective immediately; this will save thousands of crores of state funds. This will enable more vaccinations and save countless lives,” SII CEO Adar Poonawalla tweeted.

Bharat Biotech did not respond to an email question, while an external spokesperson for SII declined to comment. The vaccine expense for the Union government’s vaccination campaign was slightly lower—free in government hospitals and $250 in private hospitals.

 Â“A waiver of GST, if granted, will reduce costs for governments, as well as incentivise more private players to purchase and distribute vaccines. This move will boost immunizations and provide some respite from the current crisis,” said the founder and CEO of the financial technology company Cleartax, Archit Gupta.

‘All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them’, a staunch believer of the aforementioned quote who was adamant to turn his vision into a glaring reality set out to give a new dimension to his family business by curating the current India’s most celebrated one of a kind sanitaryware store on instagram.

With a roaring follower base of his jaw dropping IGstore called Lifetimebath, Nikhil Moolchandani has transformed the perception of Indians on sanitaryware and is propelled to drive this streak across the globe.

Being someone who was a passionate seller from his school days in Jaipur, Nikhil used to sell maps / pens and pencils in the school simply because of his love for the art of multiplication and selling being in his genes.

Nikhil always had an entrepreneurial bent of mind and was driven to drive more sales for his family business, when his friends laughed at the idea of beginning an instagram store on sanitaryware, Nikhil became more committed to materialising his vision and today his businesses is acquiring the most traction from his massively followed instagram page.

Believer of the power of dreams, hardwork and patience, Nikhil has enabled the multiplication of revenue for his family business and is aiming to build his own luxury sanitaryware firm that will cater to clients across the globe.

” I certainly believe that the current market situation isn’t appropriate for us building material dealers. After demonetisation, people started seeing a drastic change in our industry and then GST came that shook the dealers even more due to which the demand of luxury Sanitaryware went down. But I firmly believe if someone wants to sell, he/she will find a way.

The dexterity and innovation of Nikhil is evident from the fact that he has generated leads for his business through instagram across the country with deliveries happening in all corners in India.

Other than the breathtakingly enchanting bathroom fittings and styles, the USP of Lifetime Bath is that they renovate entire washrooms, which implies that they walk with the clients through the entire procedure of  breaking the bathroom, plumbing and transforming it with the most bespoke fittings and furnishings that speak of luxury with style.

Nikhil has always stressed the importance of listening to customer needs and apprehensions patiently. What they get is a thoughtful and fulfilling washroom to begin their day with positivity and satisfaction.

Driven by the mission to brighten up the day of individuals with bathrooms that suite their energies, Nikhil Moolchandani has been hailed for his insightfulness in carving a place where one’s most enabling ideas get birth.

On being asked about his biggest advice for young entrepreneurs/new start-ups, Nikhil says,”One thing that I would like to honestly share with future entrepreneurs is to first be honest with your consumers and viewers, honesty will bring you more converting leads than anything else. Secondly, it is important to put out more content of what’s happening with you at work, just try to be patient while doing this because great things don’t happen overnight, it might take longer but if you focus more on providing value and not minding the likes or comments, you are slowly building your digital empire”

“The biggest teaching that I wish to share is that whatever you want to do in life, simply do it with your own money. If you earn be responsible and sensible, save first, spend later. This doesn’t imply that you shouldn’t enjoy or party or buy your favourite bag but it means that one must do everything with their own money and not with your parents hard earned cash”, adds Nikhil Moolchandani.

In a nutshell, Nikhil is exemplary of forseeing dreams that he can materialize with strong determination, willpower and leaning to make a difference in the masses.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has approached the French government to lease one Airbus A330 multi-role tanker transport aircraft for training purposes as a prelude to leasing five more mid-air refuellers to boost its multi-role fighters’ combat capability and range.

The leasing would be done on a government-to-government basis, with the IAF already issuing a request for information (RFI) for a single aircraft and the additional five refuellers on lease using a request for proposals route. During Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria’s visit to France last week, the subject was addressed.

IAF official said, “With IAF looking towards A330 refuellers for its future, it is only natural that its pilots are trained in advance to handle the aircraft as mid-air refuelling is a precision process with zero margin of error and huge stakes.”

While the IAF has six IL-78 M mid-air refuellers of Russian origin, the A330 refuellers outperform the current aircraft in terms of flexibility, as the latter can accommodate not only fuel but also troops and arm payload on a roll-on-roll-off basis. There have been restrictions on load carrying and taking off with payload from high mountain bases such as Leh and Thoise in the case of the IL-78 M.

The French and UAE air forces have been using A330 refuellers to move 17 Rafale omni-role fighters from Merignac-Bordeaux to India since July 2020.Another batch of seven fighters is expected to arrive in India in May, with the first batch being stationed at the new Hashimara air base in West Bengal

The A330 can not only fly with a full load in the thin atmosphere of Ladakh and beyond, but it can also deliver fuel to Indian fighters at Himalayan heights, with a fighting range of 1800 km and a fuel capacity of 50 tonnes for four hours. The A330 has a 14,800-kilometer ferry range.

The IAF requires compatible mdi-air refuellers to fight any move from the north, with top-of-the-line Rafale aircraft in its inventory. The IAF must be ready because the Chinese army is hesitant to restore the status quo in Eastern Ladakh’s Gogra-H`ot Springs district, while the PLA beefs up all along the Line of Actual Control until Arunachal Pradesh.

The keener we look around us, the more we can find out that our world is being engulfed by negativity. In today’s world, helping a person attracts suspicion, ignoring doesn’t. Mental health programmes are a field of healthcare that is very much underappreciated and is often ignored in terms of significance. With the government continually slashing financial resources for agencies and people who are trying to preach the importance of mental health due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become even more important now to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and the approaches that could help in supporting these services. The growth and expansion of self-help and mental health doctors has already begun to show the effect that they could have on personal development and the treatment given in therapy and counselling. But, there is still a long way to go. The availability of mental-healthcare providers is very low in the world even though there are a few well-known psychologists in the world doing their best to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. Nabhit Kapur, a globally recognised ambassador for mental health tops this list of psychologists.

Nabhit Kapur is a renowned psychologist who specialized in studies related to different mental states, perceptual, behavioural, emotional, and social processes and actions through research and experimentation. He is also a Psycho-Preneur, an author, a TEDx speaker, and an internationally recognized ambassador for mental health and peace. He was awarded numerous recognitions including the “Order of Kentucky colonel” and “Eminent peace ambassador”, by The International Association of World Peace Advocates. His career path hasn’t been simple. He received an honors degree in applied psychology from Amity University and a postgraduate degree in counselling and psychotherapy from IBMS, Chittoor. He is also specialised in Handwriting analysis & Therapy. Despite facing many setbacks in his life, he has been able to set into motion some impactful improvements in many regions of the world like the African continent through his perseverance and dedication.

In 2015, he started working with many NGOs, hospitals and schools to gain experience and training which eventually led to the establishment of “PeacfulMind Foundation” (PMF), a global organization registered with the United Nations (U.N.) Global Compact. The foundation provides a range of educational programmes and supports community service for mental health. Their outreach has helped many people throughout the world. In the last three years, Kapur has taught over tens of thousands of children on how to balance and maintain their mental health. He has accomplished ground-breaking progress in Africa over the last couple of years through his engagement on mental health issues aimed at reducing societal taboos and fostering mental health in the community. He was featured in various online news panels and print magazines for his esteemed work and reputation like Cooperate Investment Times, Exelon magazine, Forbes, Statesman, Daily Search, Top 100 Magazine, The Week, Las Republicas etc. He is also a member of Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland and West-African public health institute. “My goal has always been and will be to make people prioritize their mental health as a critical facet of life”, remarked Nabhit Kapur.
