IMF Outlook on Indian Economy
On June 24, the IMF predicted a “record” sharp 4.5% contraction in the Indian economy in 2020, citing the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic that almost stopped all economic activity, but said it the country was expected to recover in 2021 with a robust growth rate of 6%.

ToggleThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast global growth of – 4.9% in 2020, a 1.9 percentage points lower than the forecasts of the World Economic Outlook (WEO) for April 2020.
“We expect a sharp contraction in 2020 of -4.5%. Given the unprecedented nature of this crisis, as is the case in almost all countries, this projected contraction is a record level, Indo-American IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath told PTI she published the outlook update for The World Economy in Washington.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a more negative impact on activity in the first half of 2020 than expected, and the recovery should be more gradual than expected. In 2021, global growth is expected to reach 5.4%, according to this report.
For the first time, all regions are expected to experience negative growth in 2020. In China, where recovery from the sharp contraction in the first quarter is underway, growth is expected to be 1.0% in 2020, supported in part by political revival.
“The Indian economy is expected to contract by 4.5% after a longer blockade and a slower than expected recovery in April,”
said the IMF.
The IMF file reveals that it is the lowest for India since 1961. The IMF has no data beyond this year. However, the Indian economy is expected to recover in 2021 with solid growth of six percent.
In 2019, India’s growth rate was 4.2%. The latest projection for 2020 for India is a whopping -6.4% less than the April forecast for the IMF. The forecast growth rate of 6% in 2021 is -1.4% lower than its forecasts for April.
The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the economies into a big blockade, which helped contain the virus and save lives, but also triggered the worst recession since the Great Depression, said Gopinath.
Over 75% of countries are reopening at the same time as the pandemic is intensifying in many emerging markets and developing economies. Several countries have started to recover. However, in the absence of a medical solution, the strength of the recovery is very uncertain and the impact on sectors and countries is uneven, he added.
In a blog post, Ms. Gopinath said that this global crisis like no other will experience a recovery like no other.
“First, the unprecedented global scope of this crisis is hampering prospects for recovery for export-dependent economies and jeopardizing the prospects for income convergence between developing and advanced economies,”
Ms. Gopinath
“We anticipate a deep synchronized recession in 2020 for advanced economies [-8%] and emerging and developing market economies [-3%; -5% if China is excluded], and it is expected that more than 95% of countries will experience negative growth in per capita income in 2020″ she added.
The cumulative impact on GDP growth over the 2020-2021 period for emerging markets and developing economies, excluding China, is expected to outweigh that of advanced economies, said Gopinath.
On her blog, she noted that a high degree of uncertainty surrounds these forecasts, with upside and downside risks for the outlook. On the upside, the best news about vaccines and treatments, and support for additional policies, could lead to a faster recovery in economic activity.
On the downside, new waves of infections can reverse mobility and spending, and quickly tighten financial conditions, causing debt problems, said Mrs. Gopinath.
What International Monetary Fund – IMF does
- The IMF mainly performs three types of work, the organization is dedicated to monitoring and following up economic and financial developments, and to providing policy advice, particularly in crisis prevention.
- The IMF also lends to countries with balance of payments difficulties, to provide temporary financing and to support policies aimed at correcting the underlying problems; Loans to low-income countries are also particularly aimed at reducing poverty.
- Third, the IMF provides countries with technical assistance and training in their areas of expertise. IMF support to these three activities is the IMF’s work in economic and statistical research.

IKIGAI
According to the Japanese culture, everyone has IKIGAI. It indicates the value that is in your life or the things that make someone feel that your life is precious. It refers to the mental and spiritual circumstances that make you feel that your life is good. IKIGAI is that it is interchangeable. It is unique to each individual and recognizes that the idea of “happiness” is really very difficult to realize. IKIGAI, as a concept, can evolve like you. If an objective path ceases to exist, can adapt, change and pursue new passions with an objective, IKIGAI leaves room for that.
Table of Contents
ToggleWhat is IKIGAI?
IKIGAI is a wonderful Japanese concept which basically means “a reason for being”. It is made up of two Japanese words: iki, which means “life” and kai, which means “effect, result, value or benefit”. Combined: “a reason to live”. In other words, IKIGAI, pronounced as “eye-ka-guy” is a lifestyle that strives to balance the spiritual with the practical. This balance is at the intersection where your passions and talents converge with the things the world needs and is ready to pay for.
The Philosophy
Contrary to popular opinion, your IKIGAI has nothing to do with money or even ambition. Your IKIGAI could also simply be the answer to the question “what do I like to do the most?”.
For many elderly Okinawa people interviewed by Hector and Francesc authors of the book” IKIGAI: the Japanese secret to a long and happy life, their IKIGAI ranged from “I plant my own vegetables and cook them myself,” to getting together with my friends“and “making things with wicker”.
How to live the IKIGAI lifestyle: According to Hector and Francesc, these ten factors are Okinawa people’s secret to longevity;
- Stay active and don’t retire: One of the most dangerous years of life is the year you retire because you experience a sudden lack of purpose.
- Live Slow: Adopt a slower pace of life.
- Eat mindfully: Only eat until are 80% full.
- Surround yourself with good friends: The people of Okinawa are community oriented and take out the time to return familiar relationship with friends,
- Gate in shape: The authors prescribe daily gentle exercises ranging from the Indian yoga to Chinese Tai Chi.
- Smile.
- Reconnect with nature: Gardening is encouraged.
- Express gratitude.
- Live in the moment.
- Follow your IKIGAI: Find your passion, what gives meaning to your life.
Discover your IKIGAI
- To discover you IKIGAI, you must first find what you’re most passionate about. Then, you find the medium through which you can express that passion. IKIGAI is about finding joy, fulfillment, and balance in the daily routine of life.
- The fundamental truth of IKIGAI is that nothing is soloed. Everything is connected. At the intersection of all of this are feelings of peace and lasting happiness that can sustain us throughout our entire lives.
- Examples of IKIGAI are often related to aspects of social identity — including work and family life — but it’s often explained as something more than that. It’s the idea of seeking a purpose in everything you do in life. Hobbies, friendships, community and travel all add to your IKIGAI.
- There are many different facets to IKIGAI, but there is one fundamental part to it that really stood out for everyone: Even if your present doesn’t feel right, if you don’t feel truly valuable in your current state but you have a strong goal you’re striving towards, then you will have found your IKIGAI. This is where you think IKIGAI can serve true value.
Summary: If we follow the ideas of IKIGAI, then we return to ourselves, to our own goal and to the path we take to get there. IKIGAI is about the changes, challenges and mistakes we can make as much as the “final” realization of a happy life. The idea itself is neither innovative nor revolutionary, but it deserves to be noted. In the end, IKIGAI is not just a long and happy life. It’s about recognizing the journey you’re making and making it your own. Know what gives meaning and purpose to your life at all times.

If you have trouble with smelling or tasting, it could be
New loss of taste or smell is the most intriguing of a group of new coronavirus symptoms recently recognized by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The other new symptoms are more what you might expect from a rampaging virus are Chills, Repeated shaking with chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat. Previously, the CDC had only recognized fever, cough, and shortness of breath as symptoms of COVID -19.
- In India a press note released on April 26 by the Press Information Bureau cited research about the neuro-invasive nature of the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV by the scientists of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Jodhpur.
- Covid-19 may affect the central nervous system causing loss of smell and taste. The scientists have attributed the loss of smell or taste to the fact that nose and mouth both are very important entry points of the virus. The research has pointed out that SARS-CoV-2 is known to interact with a specific human receptor known as hACE2 (human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2) which also happens to be the entry point of the virus and has an almost ubiquitous presence in most human organs.
- The findings assume crucial significance in view of many asymptomatic carriers of Covid-19, who have experienced the loss of smell. The note suggests that the asymptomatic carriers of Covid -19, facing anosmia (loss of smell) and ageusia (loss of taste), should go for self-quarantine as soon as they feel the absence of smell or taste and consult specialised nephrologists before they turn into carriers. This finding can prove extremely critical for India where more than 65 per cent cases have been found to be asymptomatic.
- Following an earlier study that validated the loss of smell and taste as indicators of SARS-CoV-2 infection, researchers at UC San Diego Health report in newly published findings that olfactory impairment suggests the resulting COVID-19 disease is more likely to be mild to moderate, a potential early indicator that could help health care providers determine which patients may require hospitalization. The findings were published online April 24, 2020 in the journal International Forum of Allergy & Rhino –logy.
- Normosmia or the normal sense of smell is an independent predictor of admission in COVID-19 cases, in previous research, loss of olfactory function is a common early symptom, following fever and fatigue. What’s notable in the new findings is that it appears that loss of smell may be a predictor that a SARS-CoV-2 infection will not be as severe, and less likely to require hospitalization. If an infected person loses that sense, it seems more likely they will experience milder symptoms, barring other underlying risk factors.
- The researchers’ latest study was a retrospective analysis between March 3 and April 8 of this year and included 169 patients who tested positive for COVID-19 at UC San Diego Health. Olfactory and gustatory data were obtained for 128 of the 169 patients; 26 of whom required hospitalization. Patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 treatment were significantly less likely to report anosmia or loss of smell (26.9 percent compared to 66.7 percent for COVID-19-infected persons treated as outpatients). Similar percentages were found for loss of taste, known as dysgeusia.
- Patients who reported loss of smell were 10 times less likely to be admitted for COVID-19 compared to those without loss of smell, Moreover, anosmia was not associated with any other measures typically related to the decision to admit, suggesting that it’s truly an independent factor and may serve as a marker for milder manifestations of Covid-19.

The needs of children
- For boys, the requirement is more than 60 ml per kg of body mass and for adolescent males it varies between 47 and 60 ml per kg of body mass, while for girls it is 39 to 49 ml per kg of body mass.
- For the pregnant woman, depending on the intensity of labor, the required drinking water varies from 2.1 to 3.2 liters per day. For old age, regardless of gender, the current consensus on drinking water requirements is 33ml per kg of body mass for sedentary activity and 38ml per kg of body mass for moderate activity, according to the report.

ICGS Kanaklata Barua
A fast patrol boat (FPV) called ICGS Kanaklata Barua was commissioned by the Indian Coast Guard on Wednesday in Kolkata. It is named after a teenage freedom fighter who was shot and killed in Assam during the Quit India movement.
Table of Contents
ToggleWhat is the boat?
- This is the fifth and final in a series of FPVs built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) Ltd. The other four are ICGS Priyadarshini (named after Indira Gandhi), ICGS Annie Besant, ICGS Kamala Devi (after Kamala Devi Chattopadhyay) and ICGS Amrit Kaur.
- These FPVs are upgraded versions of coastal patrol boats with a modified hull shape and can reach speeds of 34 knots.
- These ships were also delivered to the Indian Navy by GRSE. In the Coast Guard, these FPVs and their earlier versions belong to the Rajashree class of patrol boats.
- The older versions were called ICGS Rajashree, Rajtanag, Rajkiran, Rajkamal, Rajdoot, Rajveer, etc. the modified versions bear the names of the freedom fighters.
- Officials said these are suitable for patrols, maritime surveillance, anti-smuggling operations, anti-poaching, and also for fish protection and search and rescue missions.
- These FPVs are medium-range surface craft with a length of about 50 m and a displacement of more than 300 tons.
Who was Kanaklata Barua, after whom she is named?
- Kanaklata Barua, one of the younger martyrs of the Quit India movement, has iconic status in Assam. Barua, then 17, led the Mukti Bahini, a procession of freedom fighters to deploy the Tricolor at Gohpur police station on September 20, 1942. When the police did not allow them to advance, an altercation ensued shots unleashed killing Barua at the head of the procession.
- She had joined Mrityu Bahini only two days before the incident, the team strictly admitted members over the age of 18, but Kanaklata was an exception. She wanted to lead the procession and after much persuasion he was allowed to do so.
- Even when Barua was shot, she did not lower the flag. She didn’t want him to fall to the ground. Another volunteer behind her, Mukunda Kakoty, came and held the flag, and she too was shot.
How important is your inheritance?
- The fact that she was a girl, it captured the national imagination of the time, who runs Vintage Assam, a website on the history of Assam. It was also a time when you saw many women come to light, lead processions, patriotic fervor was at its peak and Kanaklata was a product of that time.
- Today there are schools that bear her name, there are two statues, there is a boat. Although we now see her as an icon, the people of her village hated her at that time; she was a rebel who questioned patriarchy.
- The Coast Guard gave an old ship its name. Former ICGS Kanaklata Barua was commissioned in 1997 and dismantled in 2017. During its 20 years of service, it has participated in numerous search and rescue missions, seizing foreign fishing vessels venturing into Indian waters and on evacuation missions. The ship was dismantled in 2018 and sold for scrap.
