🌕 According to the UNDP and Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, a large swathe of the population, comprising 364 million people, are 
engulfed by multidimensional poverty and continue to experience deprivation in health, schooling, and sanitation. 

🌕 India’s Multi-dimensional Povery Index was 0.121, lower than the world average of 0.159. The country was ranked 53rd out of 105 developing countries in 2017.
🌕 While there has been much progress in science and innovative applications of digital technology in diverse fields, India is still experiencing a shocking rise in 
inequality. The ‘trickle down’ effect has not been very effective, even though 271 million people moved out of poverty between 2005-06 and 2015-16. 

🌕The poverty rate in India has nearly halved, falling from 55 per cent to around 28 per cent in the 10-year period between 2005-06 and 2015-16. 

🌕 Poverty, which was 70% during Independence, came down to 22% in 2011-12. The percentage of the population living below the poverty line in India decreased to 22% in 2011-12 from 37% in 2004-05, according to data released by the Planning Commission in July 2013.

How ASPs works?

The Web and the Internet began to really heat up and receive significant media exposure starting around 1994. Initially, the Web started as a great way for academics and researchers to distribute information; but as millions of consumers flocked to the Internet, it began to spawn completely new business models. Three good examples of innovative models include:   • Amazon - Amazon (which opened its doors in July, 1995) houses a database of millions of products that anyone can browse at any time. It would have been impossible to compile a list this large in any medium other than the Web.   • Ebay - Online auctions make it easy and inexpensive for millions of people to buy and sell any imaginable item. It would be impossible to do this at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner with any medium other than the Web.   • Epinions - Thousands of people contribute to a shared library of product reviews. One of the Web's greatest strengths is its worldwide view a...

WHY DO WE SLEEP AND DREAM?

By
•We spend about one-third of our lives sleeping.  •Why do we invest so much time in sleep?  •The most straight forward answer is that, sleep is restorative, and it replenishes the body's energy stores.  •However, intense neural activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage in which most dreams occur, suggests there may be more to the story.  •One theory, which by far has the largest body of evidence, is that sleep plays a critical role in learning and consolidating memories.  •It is probably why infants and toddlers need up to 14 hours of sleep a day, with half of it spent in REM sleep.  •In adults, dreams may also play a role in brain plasticity and learning, which is why sleep-deprived adults perform worse in memory tests and tasks.
