Documentary on crisis Himalayan rivers face when they come to the plain areas

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat*
After nearly two years of tracking various places in the Yamuna and other rivers, I am sharing here my documentary on Yamuna river and its journey. The video is edited by me though I am not a professional editor but we all have our issues and problems.
Rather than keeping them on hold, I decided to put it on in the greater interest to spread awareness about the crisis that the Himalayan rivers face when they come to the plain areas. The commentary and narrative are actually put by me live during the action.
The rivers in the mountains are full of energy and life therefore many time making things difficult particularly when we want to speak but I have kept some of these things to make you feel about the area and the location I am speaking. I hope at certain point of time, I shall be able to put an English narration. I am working on a book but felt that visuals too are important hence sharing this.

Manufacturing, services: India's low-skill, middle-skill labour remains underemployed

By Francis Kuriakose* The Indian economy was in a state of deceleration well before Covid-19 made its impact in early 2020. This can be inferred from the declining trends of four important macroeconomic variables that indicate the health of the economy in the last quarter of 2019.
