‘Atmanirbharta’ is Self-reliance. ‘Swavalamban’ is self-sufficiency. Both epithets have been used in the past few months freely by both inside and outside the government. Both are vehicles for happiness. Positive psychology, a basis for self-reliance helps one explore self-worth, self-expression, self-knowledge, resilience, all needed for self-acceptance. It’s not about doing everything oneself. It’s not even being financially independent. Certainly not for shouldering every hardship alone. It’s about a reliance on internal resources to provide life with meaning and fulfilment. Is ‘atmanirbharta’ our ‘sanskriti’, our ‘samskara’ as enshrined in our religious scriptures? There is a certain conformity in our lives that can be boring. We can challenge that through self-reliance, self-trust, and individualism. Cognitive, emotional, behavioural, interpersonal and practical skills help us in that pursuit. Fear has no place in realising these goals.

I heard talk of âkisan-mazdoor ekta,â or farmer-worker unity, and the
New wage code: Why govt s new compensation rules are a hasty composition
While the coming few months will show what shape the final codes and underlying rules will take, the government could certainly have taken a more progressive approach to the new definition of wages, to better address ambiguities and legal uncertainties resulting in fewer disputes and litigation

Rather than a lengthy definition with several inclusions, exclusions, provisos, and explanations, a simpler approach may have been to tackle the definition of wages based on core principles
The new and common definition of wages under the recently passed labour codes has got most organisations to take yet another look at their payroll structures to determine what impact they will face. The new codes have been passed by Parliament to amalgamate, simplify and rationalise existing laws on various subjects like payment of wages, minimum wages, bonus, social securit

It is a fact of economic policy-making in India that bold reforms only take place during difficult moments rather than in ideal conditions. It is said India reforms only in crisis, former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan wrote once. In 1991, the economic liberalisation drive by then Finance Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and then Prime Minister Narasimha Rao unleashed the latent animal spirits in the economy. Many economists say those developments would not have taken place without the debilitating balance-of-payment crisis at the time. Even the Atal Bihari Vajpayee administration s strategic sales of state-run companies such as ITDC and VSNL came at a time when the country was reeling under sev
