The economic activity will have a deep impact due to the extension of lockdown by the Government of India. A foreign brokerage said that India’s GDP forecast sharply cuts to a contraction of 2% in this financial year.

This estimated data has been collected with the assumption that the lockdown will extend to mid of July and the stretch to boost the economy will start from the month of August according to the analysts of Bank of America Securities.

Economic impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in India

RBI has also expected the economy to be contract in FY21 (2020-2021), but has not gave any point on it. Some analyst has also estimated the contraction up to 5%. The Central Government has re-opened the parts of the economy from 1st of June, while continuing the lockdown due to COVID-19 on the effected parts of the economy that contributes over 60% of the economy.

“The government has extended the national lockdown to June 30 with some further relaxation as Unlock 1.0. The analyst have estimated that the month’s slowdown will cost 1-2% of the whole GDP and with the restart of six weeks to shave off 0.60%.”

It has now been expected the GDP to be contract by 2%, 0.70% wider than the previous estimate. The brokerage was so quick to add that if the lack of the vaccines forces the government to continue with the semi-lockdown routine, then the economy will contract as 5%.

The brokerage to revise up the fiscal deficit by 0.50% to 6.3% as against 4.6% achieved in FY20 with the sharp reduction in the GDP contraction. The analysts have also estimated that by adding wider fiscal deficit will be a result of lower tax collection as they believe that higher fiscal spend is the hour needed.

At the consolidated level, the fiscal deficit will be coming between 9.9-10.4% of the GDP. The government will fund wider fiscal deficit through $13.3 billion increase to the open market operations by RBI to $88.5 billion, said by the analysts.

Chhattisgarh’s first CM, Ajit Jogi Passes Away

Former CM of Chhattisgarh Ajit Jogi passes away on Friday at the age of 74, after being hospitalized in Raipur following heart attack. His death news was announced by his son Amit Jogi on Twitter.

Ajit Jogi was the former bureaucrat turned politician and an incumbent MLA from Marwahi seat, was the first CM of Chhattisgarh after it was carved out from Madhya Pradesh in November 2000.

The tribute poured in across the political spectrum. The Prime Minister offering his condolences to the bereaved family, twitted, “Shri Ajit Jogi was passionate about the public service and this passion made him word hard as bureaucrat and as the political leader”.

“Ajit Jogi’s death is an irreparable loss to the state as he laid a roadmap for the state and delivered eminent role as a skilled politician”, said Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, who declared a 3-day State mourning. He also added that “after the creation of the state, I got the opportunity as a cabinet minister in the government headed by Mr. Jogi. He set all the directions to works for the welfare of poor, villages and the farmers in the state.”

Mr. Jogi lost the power in 2003 in the Assembly elections but remained as the tallest leaders of the Congress Party until he and his son got embroiled over a leaked audio tape in the end of 2005. He was expelled by the Congress Party. After several years Jogi floated to a regional outfit in Janata Congress Chhattisgarh.

The leaked audio tape was not only the controversy surrounded him, as he faced repeated scrutiny over his claim if being an Adavasi. Several petitions were filed against him and all of them were legally challenged.

Being an Engineering Graduate, gold medalist, and a successful IAS Officer, Jogi’s proximity to the Gandhi family transformed him to a seasoned politician. Mr. Jogi, in 1985 took charge of a prominent Adivasi face in the Congress party. In the year 1998, he won Raigarh Lok Sabha seat and became the spokesperson for the Congress party.

In 2000, when the new state of Chhattisgarh was formed, Sonia Gandhi has chosen Mr. Jogi to head the state. In 2004 he had a fatal car accident during election campaign that left him paralyzed and wheel-chair bound. He again went back to the state in 2008 in lieu to contest the Assembly elections from Marwahi seat and became the member of LokSabha in 2009, but he failed to win his seat in 2014.

Happiness with 7 Minutes of YOGA – It Really Works

The devoted yogis of yoga will tell you that yoga is not only the path of enlightenment but also a source of happiness. Various studies support this claim by pointing at yoga not only a general practice for quelling stress but also ease in anxiety and elevating mood.

Although there is not scientific analysis done of which particular yoga pose makes happy. Researches show that body posturing, respiration process and thinking positively that influence our physiology. With every reactions by the body, we experience hormonal reactions which prompt physical and mental manifestations such as crossing our arms when defensive or angry, crying when sad and smiling when happy.

Science proved that we can reverse the response of emotion to body by leveraging our mental and physical states in order to alter our present state response of emotion. For instance, even forced smile in a stressful situation, that generally we don’t do immediately lessens the stress response by eliciting happy hormone production. 

Although everyone wants to be happy and I have been practicing Yoga myself and with the clients that is based on poses, meditation and breathing and I can happily attest the benefits.

Diaphragmatic Breathing :

It is the process of expanding and contracting your diaphragm to take long breaths. To stimulate this breathing first you have to inhale deeply for a five count to the lowest lobes of lungs. You have to focus on the lower ribs and avoid any arch in your midback.

From : PT Helper

Then you can exhale completely to empty your lungs. You can continue this for 90 seconds.

Warrior but not a Worrier :

Harvard study 2010 on “power posing” shown that by holding the open-body postures for at least two minutes increases testosterone and decreases cortisol. It is a confident-boosting hormone with less anxiety and self-assuredness. To practice this you have to open your body without crossing your limbs or slumping. You have to hold this and take five breaths on each side and total amount of time you have give is two minutes.

Relax and Remember :

Take your few minutes and focus on relaxing and happiness in order to be happy. According to a study of 2012, that shows that practicing “relaxation intervention” not just only reduces stress but also helps in healing of wound. That is why I give seven to this activity daily.
While relaxing, you can think of your happiness moments that will actually serve a simple and an effective form of meditation. Most people don’t like to follow this meditation and adding a fake smile also will definitely boost the propensity for happiness, thus reducing stress and elevating mood.
