There is a rise in graduates opting to work under the employment guarantee scheme owing to the COVID-19 pandemic
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) programme has come to the rescue of students who would have otherwise been forced to sacrifice their higher education dreams owing to the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many students are working under this programme to generate funds for their education.

Today actually I will steer clear of the politics of it and stick to what the real issue at hand is. We can start with whether Nehru, actually Babur or the marauding Mughals were to be blamed for Covid being brought into India. I could start with that, but I don’t think it would take us anywhere. What this pandemic has shown us… is that there is such a wide gap in our understanding of India, especially crises in India.
Lockdown, on the face of it, was the right thing to do.

That is where this government failed… no government is here to be rewarded

The government on Friday rejected a Freedom House report downgrading India s status to a partly free country as misleading, incorrect and misplaced , and said it treats all citizens equally without discrimination and asserted that discussion, debate and dissent are part of Indian democracy. The Freedom House report, titled Democracy Under Siege , in which it has been claimed that India s status as a free country has declined to partly free is misleading, incorrect and misplaced,” the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said in a statement. The report by the US-based organisation had claimed that the decline in India s status was due to a multiyear pattern in which the Hindu nationalist government and its allies have presided over rising violence and discriminatory policies affecting the Muslim population and pursued a crackdown on expressions of dissent by the media, academics, civil society groups, and protesters.”
