 ई-कॉमर्स फैला तो आ जाएगी तबाही, क्यों कहा पीयूष गोयल ने? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IiY0dvm57I Ravish Kumar Official  Aug 22, 2024
ई-कॉमर्स को लेकर जो कहा जा रहा था, अब मंत्री पीयूष गोयल भी वही कहने लगे हैं। बस उन्हें ये बात दस साल बाद समझ आई है कि ई-कॉमर्स का जाल फैलता है तो गली-मोहल्ले की दुकानें बंद हो जाती हैं। कई देशों ने इसे रोकने के लिए स ख़्त नियम बना दिए हैं कि कुछ चीज़ें आपको नुक्कड़ की दुकानों से ही लेनी होगी। बड़ी बात यह है कि गोयल ने ई-कॉमर्स से रोज़गार बढ़ने का दावा करने वाली रिपोर्ट को ही रिजेक्ट कर दिया। ऐसा कभी नहीं हुआ है। पूरा वीडियो देखिएगा। Google translate: Whatever was being said regarding e-commerce, now Minister Piyush Goyal has also started saying the same. It's only after ten years that they have understood that as the network of e-commerce spreads, the shops on the streets close down. To stop this, many countries have made strict rules that you will have to buy some things from street shops only. The big thing is that Goyal rejected the very report claiming that e-commerce will increase employment. 

 Were eight crore new jobs created in three years? https://www.thehindu.com/business/Economy/were-8-crore-new-jobs-created-in-three-years/article68551862.ece  August 22, 2024 Prime Minister Modi, based on the India-KLEMS database, claimed that India created “eight crore new jobs in the last three to four years”. However, analysts are questioning the methodology used to estimate these numbers. They argue that little meaningful employment was created in these years  .

The SBI report, however, estimates the total number of workers from ASUSE (The ASUSE covers only unincorporated non-agricultural establishments in manufacturing, trade and other services.)  as 56.8 crore, and claims comparability with the figures in India-KLEMS. ( KLEMS stands for Capital (K), Labour (L), Energy (E), Material (M) and Services (S).)

Clearly, the SBI report assumed a certain number of workers employed in sectors not covered in ASUSE — such as agriculture, construction, registered factories, corporate sector, government and cooperatives — using other household surveys that employ different concepts and methodologies. It then added those numbers to the number of workers in ASUSE to arrive at the inflated estimate of 56.8 crore workers. But there is no scientific basis for such an indirect method, that too to make an inane and motivated validation.

To sum up, data from India-KLEMS, which was designed for very different purposes and uses questionable methods, are being used to drive a specific political narrative on employment generation. But the real culprit in this episode is the Government of India, which has refused to organise the new decadal Census till date

Sagarika Ghose on X : HORRIFYING. A 21 old woman kills herself in UP’s Ambedkarnagar after the UP police allegedly refused to register a case of gang rape. Crimes against women are now a full scale national crisis. All of us must speak in ONE VOICE  in empathy and solidarity in every case irrespective of where the crime happens. No politics, no whataboutery, let’s make this a NATIONAL MISSION on women’s safety.

Beyond the outrage: Media coverage of Kolkata rape-murder case has many blind spots https://www.newslaundry.com/2024/08/22/beyond-the-outrage-media-coverage-of-kolkata-rape-murder-case-has-many-blind-spots  Kalpana Sharma 22 Aug, 2024 Proximity and relevance to a media market continue to determine what sexual crimes get detailed coverage.

the task of sifting fact from fiction becomes even more difficult for journalists reporting on this case. The obfuscation by the hospital authorities has added additional hurdles in obtaining verified information. And the conflicting narratives put out by the warring political groups have only added to the confusion. 

The real tragedy of the shifting focus of media reporting, which is now on the hospital authorities and their inaction, is that the central issue of the safety of women professionals at the workplace has become almost incidental. The protestors have not forgotten and continue to highlight it. But the media’s gaze has shifted.
