Japan’s Economy ,Earthquake Tsunami and Nuclear Crisis

 The impact of devastated earth quake and tsunami has not only made a disaster for the people but also pushed the Japanese economy in the harder times. The third largest economy of the world is now all set to assess the damages caused due to the catastrophe. The impact of earth quake and tsunami on the Japan’s economic situation is inevitable as hundreds of industries, factories and manufacturing units have stopped their production across Japan. Economists therefore warn against rolling blackouts and emerging financial disasters in the way.  Government of Japan however doing a lot to check the crisis and in an attempt to do so, authorities instructed the Bank of Japan to infuse billions of Yen into the economy as an emergency or quack budget.

Two automobile legends like Toyota and Nissan has already decided to halt the production of cars at all of their factories and manufacturing units. In the fray, Toyota evacuated workers from its two working plants in the most affected regions of the Japan as the units altogether make up to 420,000 small export quality cars each year. Even today, two of three important manufacturing units at Toyota have stopped working and major damages are reported to the factories of the companies like Fuji Heavy Industries, GlaxoSmithKline and Nestlé.

Industry experts of the Japan warn against more rolling financial blackouts across the country in times to come. If economy experts are to be believed the priorities of the Bank of Japan to ensure full availability of the cash in the affected areas so that customers could withdraw money to accomplish their day to day needs. In the row, central bank has also been instructed to flood money markets with more cash to stop the yen against the rising inflation. To face the financial trauma, Japanese companies, industries and firms have started assess their assets, selling dollars and other foreign currencies to face up the cost of rebuilding their domestic economy against the financial crunch. Experts however assert that it could make exports more expensive in the Japan’s economy.

Another threat that’s haunting the economy experts of the world is the rising public debt of Japan which is already the highest among advanced economies. Stock exchanges of Japan have dived deep approx. 1.7% and expected to lose more in coming days. Debacle of the economy is even more evident in the oil prices which further fell by 3% and continued to fall further in parallel weeks.

Despite being one of the world’s largest importers of oil, demand for the Japan’s oil is likely to drop considerably due to destruction done by the devastating tsunami and earthquake. The new decade has witnessed a shattering start Japan, technology center of the worlds. Entire world is looking forward to cooperation and new nuclear treaties to escape any such incident in near future. It’s not about mass deaths, property damages but a true depiction of nature’s furore against human interference with nature’s law.

Let’s have open Discussion on this Indian IT A

  The first ever documented facts on freedom of speech were way back in 399BC when Socrates speaks to jury at his trial: ‘If you offered to let me off this time on condition I am not any longer to speak my mind… I should say to you, “Men of Athens, I shall obey the Gods rather than you.”‘ Cut two, 2015: Supreme Court struck down Article 66A and the freedom of speech and expressions prevails. Will it happen? Not until we decide to take care of the following: Awareness of rights and responsibilities We all know that the rights and responsibilities are the two sides of the same coin. Before demanding for your rights as the citizens of a country, one must abide by the rules too. While the article 19(1)(a) does gives us the right to freedom of speech and expression, it also has the conditional clause of “reasonable restrictions” under Article 19(2) of the Constitution of India, on the exercise of the right to freedom of speech and expression on the following grounds: • Security of State • F

Let’s all be human first and not men and women !

  “Women Empowerment”, the very topic has been discussed so much in almost every forum and every possible live event that it seems a challenge to write something new and relevant on it.Hence, it’s human empowerment for me. Surprisingly, as per Old English Etymology, the word “man” means “a thinker” or “to have a cognitive mind” and it was used with no reference to gender, i.e., for male and female both. As the civilizations changed, the meaning changed too and today we use men and women, male and female etc. to categorize the humans. It is important for me to refer to these details because the premises on which I am proposing the ideas of women empowerment solely lies on it. What do we have achieved so far? After 68 years of independence, we do have the framework and constitutional rights in place for women to ensure the upliftment and better life for them. The only place we lack is the implementation of the same to every nook and corner of India. The challenge also lies in being the l

Tapping the potential of Indian Youth

  Youth! The UN, for statistical consistency across regions, defines ‘youth’, as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years, without prejudice to other definitions by Member States. With 28% of population of India in the age category of 10-24 years, we need to take the risk now or never. As quoted by Swami Vivekananda “Take risks in life, if you win, you can lead! If you lose, you can guide!” Whether we become the leader or a follower is secondary, at least we all will have something to do in life. Easier said than done? May be any of these clicks for us: Start Early When our young gen can handle mobiles, computers, video games and what not; they can learn other skills too during their academic years. The only requirement is to tweak the curriculum and make it more vocation based. Readers from 80’s and 90’s can easily recall the SUPW classes in their school. They learnt vocational skills like candle making, carpentry, embroidery etc. Today, it’s not only essential to make them i
