TRUTH AND PHILOSOPHY

  Hello Everyone !! India’s economic growth story has long been tied to its ability to strengthen manufacturing and reduce dependence on imports. To achieve this, the government launched the Make in India initiative in 2014, aiming to position the country as a global manufacturing hub.  Over the years, the scheme has attracted investment, boosted exports, and created jobs, but it continues to face challenges that must be addressed for India to fully realize its industrial potential. History of "Make in India" Initiative  : The Make in India initiative was launched on 25 September 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the vision of transforming India into a global manufacturing powerhouse.  The   initiative carries echoes of Mahatma Gandhi’s Swadeshi movement of 1905 , which he later championed throughout India’s freedom struggle. The Swadeshi movement began as a response to the partition of Bengal by the British, urging Indians to boycott foreign goo...

Hello Everyone !! Jharkhand has played a significant role in India’s industrial and labour development due to its rich mineral resources and strong manufacturing base.  With major industries such as steel, coal, and engineering concentrated in the state, it has a long history of factory growth and labour movements. Over time, labour laws and industrial policies have evolved to regulate working conditions, ensure worker welfare, and promote industrial development. In this article, we will look into the history of factory & labour, labor laws, current issues of labor and factories in the state of Jharkhand. 🏭  1.

Hello Everyone !! Walk down any street in India and the waste problem stares you in the face—overflowing bins, smoky dump yards, and plastic clogging drains. With 1.4 billion people urbanizing at breakneck speed, garbage has transformed from a neighborhood nuisance into a national crisis.  What was once backyard compost pits and informal reuse has now ballooned into mountains of mixed waste, threatening health, environment, and city life. To understand how we got here—and how we can fix it—let’s trace the journey of India’s waste management and where it stands today. Here’s how it breaks down. History: From Composting Pits to Municipal Dumps Pre-1900s : Waste was mostly organic. Homes had backyard pits for kitchen scraps and cow dung. Metals, cloth, and paper were reused. Concept of “waste” barely existed. British-era cities 1850-1947 : Municipalities formed. Calcutta, Bombay got conservancy departments. Night-soil collection and street sweeping started. But dumping in outsk...

Hello Everyone !! Across the forests, plateaus, and river valleys of Jharkhand, language is more than communication — it is memory, identity, and survival. Many of the state’s tribal communities continue to preserve their histories, songs, cosmologies, and ecological knowledge through oral tradition. Yet several of these languages still lack standardized scripts, making them especially vulnerable in a rapidly modernizing world. This article brings together the core issue — the absence of standardized writing systems — and practical, community-centered solutions, including the transformative role of writing and publishing books. The Core Issue: Oral Tradition Without Standard Script Several Jharkhand tribal languages are primarily oral and lack widely accepted standardized scripts. Among them are: Birhor Asuri Birjia (Birijia) Malti (Mal Paharia) Korba Sabar Parhaiya While some may use borrowed scripts such as Devanagari informally, there is no officially standardized orthography that i...
