It is possible for the government to provide relief in taxes as part of the Union Budget. The government may choose to do this in order to boost consumer spending and stimulate economic growth. There are a few ways in which the government can provide relief in taxes, including: Reducing income tax rates:  The government can choose to reduce income tax rates for individuals and businesses, which would leave them with more disposable income and potentially stimulate spending. Increasing tax exemptions and deductions:  The government can increase the amount of tax exemptions and deductions that individuals and businesses can claim, which can also reduce their overall tax burden. Reducing Goods and Service Tax (GST) rates:  The government can reduce GST rates on certain goods and services, which would make them more affordable for consumers and potentially stimulate demand.  Providing tax credits:  The government can provide tax credits to individuals and businesses for certain activities,

Republic Day in India is a national holiday celebrated on January 26th every year. It marks the day when the Constitution of India was adopted and came into effect, thus establishing India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic. The Constitution lays out the fundamental rights and duties of its citizens and is considered the backbone of the Indian democracy.  Historical background: The idea of a republic in India can be traced back to the Indian independence movement, where leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Patel called for a sovereign and democratic state. The Government of India Act 1935, which was implemented by the British, served as the basis for the drafting of the Constitution of India. The drafting of the Constitution was a long and arduous process, involving intense debates and discussions by the members of the Constituent Assembly. The Constitution was finally adopted on 26th November 1949 and came into effect on 26th January 1950,

 Dt-23/12/2021 Today Wildlife Institute of India organized a bird watching and identification of visiting birds to Hirakud dam.  It's aim was to create interest in biodiversity assessment research among post graduate students. I participated in the programme along with my friends. Four interns from Wildlife Institute were first introduced us about bird watching. They are expert in their respective fields (flora,fauna,insects,reptiles). They shared their experiences of working in wildlife projects. They explained how some species work as environmental indicators, how birds migrate from one place to another(feeding and breeding), how some species migrate away from places with high human activities, how can we evaluate environmental condition of a particular area and mitigate the condition for proper functioning of the ecosystem. We discussed how dams and barrages are important for us.  Then we went to Debrigarh wildlife sanctuary. This is the first time I visited a wildlife sanctuary

  Today's experience at examination hall : My midterm examination is going on. Today I was having my developmental biology paper. I reached exam hall just before it started. I found everybody sitting in their respective places. I took my seat and filled my credentials in answer sheet. Then we got questions. I felt like I knew nothing. I watched the questions for about ten minutes. I was not getting response from the brain. Scientific words were disappeared from my mind. However I started writing like hitting around the bush. Unnecessary thoughts about the result day were distracting me to concentrate on the paper. The exam ended like a bad dream. After exam I discussed some questions and found wrong. I felt guilty and came back to room. I have done my part and now I have to be ready to hear from the teacher. I have to balance myself. So I started to recall some good thoughts. There is a saying "this too shall pass". It helped me to get rid of the situation for some time.

 I feel I am seeing a set of dreamers who have urge to do something for the society.  Entrepreneurship is not for weak hearted. You need to give up many things to being an entrepreneur. Great entrepreneurs give up great jobs. Some questions you must ask yourself before choosing this path: a) What you want to disrupt ? b) Why you want to disrupt? c) Why you are the right person for this? To be an entrepreneur you need to be a team player. You have to unite a team of finance, governance, salesperson, etc. You need a capital to jump in to the market. Your consumer base should be defined.  Entrepreneurs are driven by passion. They learn always and try to implement ideas in their company. They have faced many obstacles and their ideas failed many times. But these obstacles play the role of barriers. If there's no barrier, then it's easy to copy an idea and implement it to make money.  Money is the outcome of the product or service. Entrepreneurs' sole aim is not just running beh

  Stock of the day - Dt:04/06/2021 Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd. Symbol : IBULFSGFIN This is today's graph. This is one of my best stock. I was having 50 shares that I sold at 226₹ previous friday. And I was happy. But what happened today was beyond my imagination. If I waited for another week then I would have earned a good return.  However, I don't want to take risk. I measured the market overvalued as its graph is increasing amid this second wave of pandemic.  Just see the difference: Today's low-   227.75 Today's high- 272.75 Generally stocks decrease on friday. But this stock performed extraordinarily. I had placed sell order at 245₹ at about 2.40pm. It was at its day high at that time.  And just after few minutes I saw it as only buyers. But still I was hoping that it will come down. Instead of coming down, it breaks upper circuit twice which happens very rarely. My heart beat rate was increasing. I was not able to exit my position as time crossed 3.20pm. For th

 I had participated in an online competition organized by EG Pathshala. The competition was named as 'Wise use of words'.  Rules : - Write three sentences on COVID-19 using words starting with "C" - Words should not be repeated  It's result declared today. I got second position in this event. And I am very much glad to share what I had framed for this event. 1- Continuity in cold and cough are clue to COVID, compromising which can create casualty. 2- Choose or cultivate culture crucial to counteract COVID crisis and cease its compounding at any cost. 3- Be confident and courageous in this combat, rather than confusing, contribute to your community like a caring citizen with courtesy.    Photo by Polina Zimmerman from Pexels Hope you liked it. #StayHomeStaySafe #COVID-19 Regards Lambodar Padhan 

 The fight against COVID-19 is not over yet. It is becoming more dangerous with time. It is breaking its spreading record very fast. Death toll is rising daily. Researchers all over the world are trying to control it. Another chapter added to emerging health risks. In future, it will be studied as one of the biggest conspiracy.  Challenges   1- Mutated strains are spreading faster and infecting to all age groups. 2- It is not feasible to test everyone on a daily basis.  3- Although there are many questions on vaccines, it can't be made available to all (time taking process). 4- Lack of drugs and beds in hospitals.  5- It is fatal for people with comorbidities. 6- Weekend shutdowns are ultimately leading to crowd in markets on previous day. 7- Again our economy is injured. To Do 1- Follow all precautionary measures.  2- Focus on diet rather than taking vitamin supplements (drink sufficient water, eat vitamin B,C rich fruits and vegetables) 3- Do light breathing exercises  4- Share p

 Although we suffered a lot I found best thing about 2020 is recovery of nature. It recovered itself to some extent due to lockdown(reduced human activity). I have not gone through COVID test. However I am safe till now. Hope you all are safe also.  So we entered into 2021 according to Gregorian Calendar. New year celebration was over. When new year comes, many people make their resolutions. But very few people act upon it. First 2-3 days passes in wishing. I usually make resolution on my birthday. Let me share some with you people  : 1- I will do exercises daily to maintain good health.  2- I will maintain a diary to record important events.  3- I will plant trees. 4- I will increase my reading speed.  5- I will increase my spiritual quotient(SQ). 6- I will strengthen my skills and learn some new skills.  7- I will spend money wisely.  8- I will try to help people by my initiatives. 9- I will visit 1-2 states. 10- I will increase my reader base.   The picture is showing countries of m

Happy teachers' day💐💐💐 We celebrate teachers' day on 5th of September, birthday of our second President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan since 1962. He believed that "teachers should be the best minds in the country". In our lifetime we get many teachers at different phases. But mother is considered as first teacher. Teachers are compared to mother, father and friend also. They maintain the roles according to the need. They introduce us to the world of knowledge. Sometimes they beat also to bring us on the right track. A good teacher is always happy if his students perform better than him. Our ancient culture is adulterated due to invasions. Education system is destroyed. And student-teacher relationship got weakened with time.  Whatever we learn from anyone, if we respect him it will save us from ego. Although a primary school teacher can't help in higher studies, but he can help in personal life. He can share his life journey. In the long run, experience works. An

 Today we celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi. Ganesha is the younger son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. He is also known as 'Vighnaharta'(remover of obstacles). Lord Ganesha is worshipped first before starting any work.   I made a sketch of Lord Ganesha watching on YouTube. I felt very happy after making it. Then I edited by own. Due to COVID-19 we didn't celebrate this year in crowd, but we prayed in our homes. Mumbai's famous Lalbaughcha Raja's Pandal converted into blood donation and plasma donation camps.  Several community puja organisers in Kolkata switched to the digital mode, so that devotees can observe the rituals from home.  I think import of statues may have decreased due to the pandemic. This may be a good news. But our local potters are the real sufferers. We should help them. May Lord Ganesha bless you and your family with peace and happiness.

  Today we celebrated our 74th Independence  day maintaining COVID-19 guidelines. One year ago nobody thought of such situation. I hope situation will be better on our platinum jubilee celebration. However, we showed patriotism on digital platforms. Let's go to past. Before British invasion ,our country was self-reliant. Our country(Sone ki Chidiya) used to export only. It attracted people from all over the world. It included invaders also. Our motherland lost enormous amount of wealth due to these invasions. But we suffered the British rule for longer time. It destroyed our self-sustained systems of Education,Agriculture,Business,etc. I don't believe that these losses can be recovered. However after Independence our country emerged as the largest democratic country. A lot of sacrifices were done. We can't forget our freedom fighters. Today we are able to celebrate due to them only.  Friends, we all can't go to boarder and fight to serve our nation. We should suppo
