Suicide prevention centre Jeevan to organise workshops on good parenting
rom identifying behavioural changes in a child to understanding the real reason behind what makes a child difficult, these workshops, which are free of cost, aim to make parents more empowered in difficult situations. The first such workshop will take place on July 20 at the Sonari Army Camp followed by another at Dayanand Public School in Sakchi on August 3. Interested persons can call up 9297777499 and 9297777500 for more details."We often encounter parents who are surprised by their children's perspectives on life," Gurpreet Kaur Bhatia, a member of Jeevan, who is also a counsellor, told this paper. Many parents claim to know their children best, but urgently need eye-openers to the world where children are exposed to social media, online games and cut-throat competition from a very young age, she added. Age-old challenges such as meeting parental expectations and surviving peer pressure remain, but the forms vary. "The challenge is to understand children and their emotional needs. Many parents tend to say 'No, my child can't be like this' or 'we were not raised like this'. But they need to understand that times have changed and children aren't the replica of their parents. There is a huge difference between then and now, so in a changed environment, needs have changed," Bhatia said. She added that these workshops would encompass general parenting and sessions specifically meant for parents of adolescents and teenagers. Bhatia said Jamshedpur did see a worrying number of student suicides. In 2018, of the 176 suicides in the city, 21 were student deaths, a significant 11.6 per cent. "But, awareness has also grown. Nowadays, schools appoint counsellors, teachers and principals take utmost care while dealing with complicated or sensitive issues. Yet, the role of parenting is the most important one," she said.

Sunset clause for small firms
"Small firms destroy jobs as much as they create." The Survey said governments should shift its focus to nurturing "infant" firms. Policy makers must ensure that support to small units are withdrawn after a specified time, forcing them to expand their operations and not live off government relief for ever."Once small firms know that they would receive no benefit from continuing to remain small despite ageing, their natural incentives to grow would get activated. This will generate economic growth and employment," it said."Dwarf" firms with less than 100 workers despite being over 10-years old account for 50 per cent of all organised firms by number. But their contribution to jobs is only 14 per cent, reveals the Survey. By contrast, large firms - those with over 100 employees - account for 75 per cent of total job creation and close to 90 per cent of productivity. They make up just 15 per cent of the total units in the country.In fact, their share in net value added is a miniscule 4.7 per cent despite dominating half the economic landscape. On the other hand, young, large firms account for only 6.2 per cent by number but contribute a quarter of total employment and 38 per cent of net value added.The Survey said the government needed to nourish small MSMEs to help them grow into big companies, though a greater focus should be given to creating more jobs. "Our policies must, therefore, focus on enabling MSMEs to grow by unshackling them," it said.The survey cites "size-based incentives" irrespective of the firm's age and inflexible labour regulation as reasons for the problem.

Inflation likely rose in June, but below RBI target: report
'A good part of the inflation should be a lift up from food inflation. The pickup remained barely subdued in the grander scheme of things,' said Vishnu Varathan, an economist at Mizuho Bank. 'It has not really picked up in a way that's going to shake up markets or raise huge concerns for the RBI at this juncture,' he added. Some economists expect the central bank will cut rates in August for the fourth consecutive time since February to enhance liquidity after the government's annual budget last week lacked any direct steps to boost the economy. The fiscal deficit target for this financial year was reduced to 3.3 per cent from 3.4 per cent, and domestic borrowing was estimated at 7.1 trillion rupees. '(If) you are planning to spend more than what you have been indicating, that could potentially swell the deficit above the target,' said Prakash Sakpal, Asia economist at ING. 'If that is the case, that is going to be potentially inflationary,' he added. ...

Quitting alcohol can improve mental health in women
The mean age of participants in the cohort was 49 years and 56 per cent were women. About 64 per cent of men were nondrinkers (abstainers and former drinkers) and almost 88 per cent of women were nondrinkers. Men and women who were lifetime abstainers had the highest level of mental well-being at the start of the study (baseline). For women who were moderate drinkers and quit drinking, quitting was linked to a favourable change in mental well-being in both Chinese and American study populations. These results were apparent after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index, smoking status, and other factors. "Global alcohol consumption is expected to continue to increase unless effective strategies are employed," says Dr Ni. "Our findings suggest caution in recommendations that moderate drinking could improve health-related quality of life. Instead, quitting drinking may be associated with a more favourable change in mental well-being, approaching the level of lifetime abstainers," Dr Ni said. ...

Historical tributes in Archie's christening photos
Several details were spotted in the photos that were subtle tributes to various historical facts. Here are some of them: Meghan's Cartier earrings Meghan, Duchess of Sussex wore these earrings to her royal wedding in 2018. These Cartier Galanterie de Cartier studs are made of diamonds and white gold. She has since then refrained from wearing these earrings publicly. She once again wore these diamond studs for her son's christening, thus subtly tying the two events together. Cartier has long been providing jewellery to the Royal Family since they opened up a shop in London on 1902. The most famous piece of royal Cartier jewellery is the Halo tiara that Kate Middleton wore to her wedding in 2011. Kate's Collingwood pearl earrings Princess Diana wore one of her most favoured pieces of jewellery to the christening of Prince Harry- her Collingwood pearl earrings. These earrings have since been often seen on Kate, and seem to be one of her favourite pieces as well. Kate, in a wonderful tribute to her late mother-in-law, wore the Collingwood pearl earrings to Archie's christening. They were the same pair Diana wore in 1984. Kate is often seen wearing Diana's jewellery, including the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara, the sapphire drop earrings and most recently, the South Sea diamond and pearl earrings. Through this gesture, Kate kept Diana's memory alive in the official pictures. Location of the official photos Archie's christening official portraits were taken in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, the same place where a few of Harry and Meghan's official wedding photos were taken post their wedding in St. George's Chapel. This was another significant way of tying together the two events. Another wonderful coincidence, or maybe planned, was the green sofa set in the Green Drawing Room on which the pictures were taken. It is the same location where the Royal Family gathered to celebrate Harry's christening in 1984 as well as the location of the official photos from that event. Historical christening gown The christening gown that Archie wore has a long history behind it. It is the replica of the cascading ivory Honiton lace gown which was used for the baptism of all royal babies since the time of Queen Victoria. The original gown was born by 62 royal babies, including Prince Harry, from 1841 to 2008. Its replica, made by dressmaker to the Queen Angela Kelly, has been used on royal babies from 2008. It was the same one worn by Archie's cousins George, Charlotte and Louis. ... DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Govt health care allocationfar behind UN target: CAG
'There is still a long way to go before the target of public health expenditure is achieved and the central allocation for health for 2019-20 was far short of target. In states, health spending as a percentage of total states expenditure, ranged from 3.29 to 5.32% which shows that this need considerable augmentation,' CAG said in its report. The report, tabled in Parliament on Monday, noted that public health expenditure as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) had been increasing since 2015-16 but remained within a narrow band of 1.02-1.28 % of GDP. 'While it is recognised that projecting financial resources for achieving the Targets by 2030 is a challenging task, ministry of finance and state governments are yet to integrate SDG related financial resources in national budgeting for implementing SDGs,' it said. According to the auditor, the problems went beyond allocation of funds. 'Data for certain health indicators were not regularly or uniformly available,' the report said. The audit was taken up to ascertain the 'Preparedness of the Government for the Implementation of SDGs', covering aspects such as extent to which the 2030 agenda had been adapted. It selected 'Goal 3- Good Health and Well-Being' for a detailed examination. The 2030 target is being coordinated by the NITI Aayog, which too came under the CAG's criticism. 'A roadmap is yet to be aligned with defined milestones for SDG targets to be achieved in the year 2020, 2025 and 2030,' the report said in the context of the Aayog's role as the coordinator. A key action plan that the NITI Aayog was supposed to prepare was still not complete, the report noted. 'States are yet to prepare policy documents. Mapping of goals/targets undertaken by NITI Aayog and selected states is still ongoing.' Efforts to raise public awareness about SDGs and initiatives in the selected states were not comprehensive, focused or sustained, the report said. The auditor in its recommendations said a comprehensive charter and action plan with well-defined milestones for implementing SDGs should be formulated after due consultations. It also suggested the use of Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT) should be expanded and strengthened to avoid leakages and to improve efficiency in usage of financial resources.

Gandhi departs but uncertainty in the Congress persists
He seems to suggest that victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is a result of (only) misuse of institutions and tremendous financial resources. This newspaper has been critical of the Election Commission's conduct during the polls. But it is hard to deny that the election outcome reflected the deep faith a large section of the electorate had in Narendra Modi; the success of his welfare schemes and narrative of nationalism; the inability of the opposition to mount a counter narrative that resonated with citizens and its organisational hollowness and outmoded categories of politics. These are the areas the Congress will have to work on if it wants to mount a challenge. A wrong diagnosis will not lead to the correct prescription. Mr Gandhi can have his assessment of what he sees as the dangers of the BJP's rule - but then should he not have led from the front? It is also not clear what Mr Gandhi's role will be in the future party set up. He makes it clear that he will continue to fight for his idea of India as a soldier of the Congress. But given his pre-eminent status - even without a formal office - will it not result in the emergence of multiple power centres in the party? The resignation may have ended one phase in Congress' turbulent politics, but the next phase may well be more challenging.
