Only 14% of Indian workers report “thriving,” significantly lower than the global average of 34%.

The 2024 Gallup State of the Global Workplace report highlights significant concerns regarding the wellbeing of Indian employees.

According to the report, a mere 14% of Indian employees feel they are “thriving,” while the remaining 86% describe themselves as “struggling” or “suffering.” This is considerably lower than the global average, where 34% of employees report thriving.

Gallup’s Life Evaluation Index categorizes respondents based on their present life situation and future outlook into three groups: thriving, struggling, and suffering. Thriving individuals have a positive current life situation and a positive outlook for the next five years.

Those classified as struggling have uncertain or negative views of their present life, marked by stress and financial concerns. Those suffering report significant distress and a lack of basic necessities, alongside a negative future outlook.

In South Asia, only 15% of employees feel they are thriving, with India showing one of the lowest rates at 14%, just behind Nepal at 22%.

Additionally, 35% of Indian respondents reported experiencing daily anger, the highest in the region, although only 32% experienced daily stress, which is lower compared to other South Asian countries.

Despite these challenges, India shows a higher employee engagement rate of 32%, which is above the global average of 23%. This data suggests that while Indian employees face significant wellbeing issues, their level of engagement at work remains relatively strong.

It’s a real matter of concern and institutions must act spontaneously,  as the role of human assets well being can’t be overlooked to reach bigger goals!!

Permanent Address – स्थायी पता 
मानवीय इच्छा की असली मूर्खता!

एक संयुक्त परिवार के घर में 5 से 95 वर्ष की उम्र के 14 लोग रहते थे।

आज, हम दोनों घरों को परित्यक्त और प्रकृति को उस बगीचे पर कब्ज़ा करते हुए देख रहा हूँ जहाँ माँ प्रतिदिन घंटों देखभाल करती थी। जामुन, सहजन, कुछ अशोक, नीम और पीपल के पेड़ बच गए हैं, लेकिन सारी सुंदरता क्षणिक और नाजुक दोनों है; और एन्ट्रापी का नियम शक्तिशाली है। असंख्य रंगों के प्यारे फूल सभी ख़त्म हो गए हैं।आश्चर्य है कि उस मोर परिवार का क्या हुआ जो हर दिन आता था और माँ के हाथ से खाता था। बुलबुल, गौरैया, तोते, फ्लाईकैचर्स, कोयल, बंदरों का एक बड़ा समूह, जो महीने में एक बार जगह की व्यवस्था को बिगाड़ देते थे।

*एक बार जब लोग चले जाते हैं, तो घर (Home), घर (House) बन जाता है*। शुरू में बेचने का मन नहीं था और अब भी जाने का मन नहीं है। समय ने इसके 14 में से 10 लोगों को छीन लिया।

अपने आस-पड़ोस में घूमता हूं और ऐसे कई घरों का भाग्य देखता हूं जो कभी जीवन से भरपूर थे, अब बदल दिए गए हैं या वैसे ही पड़े हुए हैं।

हम घर बनाने के लिए इतना प्रयास और तनाव क्यों करते हैं? ज्यादातर मामलों में, हमारे बच्चों को उनकी ज़रूरत नहीं होगी या इससे भी बुरी बात यह होगी कि वे उनके लिए लड़ेंगे।

*एक मकान मालिक द्वारा दिए गए अनिश्चित कार्यकाल के साथ, जिसकी शर्तों पर समझौता नहीं किया जा सकता है और अपील की कोई अदालत नहीं है, पट्टे पर लिए गए जीवन में स्थायी स्वामित्व का प्रयास करने की यह मानवीय मूर्खता क्या है?*

एक दिन, हमने प्यार और ईएमआई से जो कुछ भी बनाया है वह या तो ध्वस्त हो जाएगा, लड़ जाएगा, बेच दिया जाएगा, या खंडहर हो जाएगा।

जब भी मैं कोई फॉर्म भरता हूं जिसमें 'स्थायी पता' पूछा जाता है तो मैं मानवीय मूर्खता पर मुस्कुराता हूं।

एक ज़ेन कहानी है कि एक बूढ़ा भिक्षु एक राजा के महल में चला गया और मांग की कि वह इस सराय में रात बिताना चाहता है और गार्डों ने उससे कहा: "क्या सराय, क्या तुम नहीं देख सकते कि यह एक महल है?"। भिक्षु ने कहा, “मैं कुछ दशक पहले यहां आया था। वहां कोई रह रहा था. कुछ साल बाद उनसे गद्दी किसी और ने ले ली, फिर किसी और ने. कोई भी स्थान जहां रहने वाला बदलता रहता है वह सराय है।

जॉर्ज कार्लिन कहते हैं: *"घर एक ऐसी जगह है जहां आप अपना सामान रखते हैं क्योंकि आप बाहर जाते हैं और अधिक सामान लाते हैं"।*

जैसे-जैसे घर बड़े होते जाते हैं, परिवार छोटे होते जाते हैं। *जब घर में रहने वाले लोग होते हैं, तो हम गोपनीयता चाहते हैं, और जब घोंसला खाली हो जाता है, तो हम कंपनी की इच्छा रखते हैं।*

पक्षी और जानवर हम मनुष्यों पर हँस रहे होंगे, जो अपने सपनों का घर बनाने के लिए जीना छोड़ देते हैं और अंत में, उस सराय को छोड़ देते हैं जिसे उन्होंने स्थायी निवास समझ लिया है।

*मानवीय इच्छा की असली मूर्खता!*

CBI Cracks Down on Human Trafficking Network Sending Indians to Russia

In a shocking revelation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has uncovered a sinister human trafficking network that has been exploiting the aspirations of Indians, leading them into the perilous conflict zone of the Russia-Ukraine war. Citing officials, news agencies have reported that the investigating agency has launched a massive search operation across seven cities to dismantle this nefarious operation.

The news sends shockwaves across the nation, as the extent of the human trafficking network comes to light. The exploitation of vulnerable individuals seeking opportunities abroad is a grave injustice that strikes at the heart of humanity. Families torn apart, dreams shattered, lives endangered – these are the devastating consequences of human trafficking.

The CBI’s swift and decisive action to crack down on this criminal syndicate is commendable. With unwavering determination, they are delving into the depths of this dark underworld to rescue those who have fallen victim to its clutches. The bravery and dedication of the law enforcement officials involved in this operation cannot be overstated.

As the investigation progresses, it is imperative that justice is served and the perpetrators are brought to book. Human trafficking is a scourge that must be eradicated from our society, and it is only through concerted efforts and relentless action that we can hope to achieve this goal.

But beyond the legal ramifications, we must also address the root causes of human trafficking – poverty, lack of opportunity, and desperation. It is a stark reminder of the inequalities that exist in our world and the urgent need for social and economic reforms to empower vulnerable populations and protect them from exploitation.

As we grapple with the enormity of this revelation, let us stand in solidarity with the victims of human trafficking and reaffirm our commitment to building a world where every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Together, we can shine a light into the darkness and bring an end to this heinous crime. @aditya for NewzQuest

Bhagwat Geeta offers 15 lessons that can illuminate life’s path.

Bhagwat Geeta offers 15 lessons that can illuminate life’s path.

“Bhagwat Geeta” In the vast tapestry of timeless wisdom, there exists a jewel – the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Bhagwat Geeta (Mahabharata), a divine conversation between Lord Krishna and the mighty warrior Arjuna. Within its verses lie pearls of guidance, illuminating the path of life with profound lessons. Let us embark on a poetic journey through 15 lessons from this sacred scripture, each a shimmering revelation of truth and beauty.

The Bhagavad Gita (Bhagwat Geeta) is set in a narrative framework of dialogue between the Pandava prince Arjuna and his charioteer guide Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu. At the start of the Kurukshetra War between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, Arjuna despairs thinking about the violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his kin and becomes emotionally preoccupied with a dilemma. Wondering if he should renounce the war, Arjuna seeks the counsel of Krishna, whose answers and discourse constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to “fulfil his Kshatriya (warrior) duty” for the upholding of dharma.

Learnings’ from Bhagwat Geeta

  1. Embrace Your Duty: Like Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, we must embrace our duty with courage and conviction, for it is through action that we fulfill our purpose.
  2. Find Inner Peace: Amidst life’s chaos, seek the serenity within. Just as Krishna calmed Arjuna’s turmoil, let the tranquil depths of your soul guide you through turbulent waters.
  3. Let Go of Attachments: Like a lotus floating on water untouched by its surroundings, learn to let go of attachments and desires. Detachment brings freedom and inner harmony.
  4. Seek Knowledge: The quest for knowledge is a sacred journey. Open your heart and mind to the teachings of the wise, for true wisdom liberates the soul from ignorance.
  5. Face Adversity with Grace: Life’s trials may test your spirit, but like Arjuna facing his enemies, meet adversity with unwavering courage and grace.
  6. Act Selflessly: Perform your duties without attachment to the fruits of your actions. Let selfless service be the guiding light of your existence, for true fulfillment lies in giving.
  7. Trust in the Divine Plan: Surrender to the divine will and trust in the cosmic order. Just as Krishna guided Arjuna, have faith that all unfolds according to a higher purpose.
  8. Conquer the Mind: The mind, like a restless monkey, seeks to distract and deceive. Master your thoughts and emotions, for within lies the key to self-mastery.
  9. Live in the Present Moment: The past is but a memory, and the future a dream. Embrace the present moment fully, for it is the only reality.
  10. Practice Equanimity: Whether in victory or defeat, pleasure or pain, maintain equanimity of mind. Like a steady flame in the wind, remain unperturbed by life’s fluctuations.
  11. Cultivate Devotion: Let love be the guiding force of your life. Surrender to the divine with unwavering devotion, and you shall find solace in the embrace of the eternal.
  12. Serve Humanity: Recognize the divinity in all beings and serve them with compassion and kindness. In lifting others, you uplift yourself.
  13. Be Fearless: Fear is but an illusion, a shadow cast by the mind. Awaken the warrior within and march boldly towards your destiny, for you are divine and invincible.
  14. Find Joy in the Journey: Life is a sacred dance, a symphony of joy and sorrow. Embrace each moment with gratitude, for therein lies the essence of existence.
  15. Know Thyself: In the depths of introspection, discover the truth of your being. Realize that you are not the body or the mind, but the immortal soul, eternally connected to the divine.

In the timeless verses of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, (Bhagwat Geeta) we find not mere words, but profound truths that resonate with the depths of our being. May these 15 lessons illuminate your path, guiding you towards a life of purpose, peace, and divine fulfillment. Parashar for Newzquest

Moody’s improves India’s GDP prediction for 2024 to 6.8% from 6.1%

Global rating agency Moody’s has revised India’s GDP growth projection for the 2024 calendar year upward to 6.8%, compared to the earlier estimate of 6.1%. This increase is attributed to India’s strong economic performance in 2023 and a reduction in global economic challenges, as per a report by PTI citing Moody’s.

India’s economy surpassed analysts’ expectations by growing 8.4% during the October-December quarter. Moody’s credits this robust growth to the government’s capital spending and vigorous manufacturing activity.

However, there’s a notable discrepancy between GDP and gross value added (GVA) growth rates. While GDP grew by 8.4%, GVA expanded by 6.5%. Economists suggest that this discrepancy is due to a sharp decline in subsidies, particularly fertilizer subsidies like Urea, during the quarter. Reuters reports a senior government official highlighting this factor.

Neelkanth Mishra, chief economist at Axis Bank, notes that this divergence between GDP and GVA is at a 10-year high. He doesn’t anticipate this trend to persist and predicts the economy to grow by 6.5% in the next financial year.

India’s Economy to Remain Fastest Growing Among G-20 Economies

India’s Economy to Remain Fastest Growing Among G-20 Economies

Introduction

Moody’s recent Global Macroeconomic Outlook for 2024 paints an optimistic picture for India’s economy. The report forecasts that India will maintain its position as the fastest-growing economy among the G-20 nations. With stronger-than-expected performance in 2023, Moody’s has revised its growth estimate for 2024 to 6.8 per cent, up from the previous 6.1 per cent projection.

Strong Momentum

The Indian economy has shown robust momentum, with high-frequency indicators indicating continued strength in the March quarter of 2024. Factors such as robust goods and services tax collections, increasing auto sales, consumer optimism, and double-digit credit growth point towards resilient urban consumption demand. Additionally, expanding manufacturing and services PMIs further bolster evidence of solid economic momentum.

Fiscal Policy

This year’s interim budget targets a significant capital expenditure allocation of Rs 11.1 lakh crore, equivalent to 3.4 per cent of GDP for the fiscal year 2024-25. This allocation represents a substantial increase of 16.9 per cent over the estimates for 2023-24. Moody’s expects policy continuity post-general elections, with a continued focus on infrastructure development.

Private Sector Outlook

While private industrial capital spending has been sluggish, Moody’s anticipates an uptick due to ongoing supply chain diversification benefits and the government’s Production Linked Incentive scheme aimed at boosting key manufacturing industries.

Implications of Elections

The year 2024 marks an election year for several G-20 countries, including India. Moody’s emphasizes that the outcomes of these elections can have far-reaching implications beyond borders. Newly elected leaders will shape domestic and foreign policies for the next several years, influencing businesses’ decisions regarding supply chains and capital sources. Geopolitical realities are expected to impact international trade flows, capital movements, migration trends, and the functioning of international organizations. Domestically, industrial and trade policies are increasingly intertwined with foreign policy considerations.
