Salt is essential for human body, but too much of it can damage the body.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Thursday called on countries to make “massive efforts” to reduce people’s salt intake that can prevent the risk of heart problems, stroke, and cancers.
In a first-of-its-kind global report on sodium intake reduction, the global health body noted that the world is off-track to achieve its global target of reducing sodium intake by 30 per cent by 2025.
The report shows that only 5 per cent countries are protected by mandatory and comprehensive sodium reduction policies, while 73 per cent, including India, lack full range of implementation of such policies.
Implementing highly cost-effective sodium reduction policies could save an estimated seven million lives globally by 2030, the WHO said.
Sodium is an essential nutrient, but eating too much salt makes it the top risk factor for diet and nutrition-related deaths. The main source of sodium is table salt (sodium chloride), but it is also contained in other condiments such as sodium glutamate.
The global average salt intake is estimated to be 10.8 grams per day, more than double the WHO recommendation of less than 5 grams of salt per day (one teaspoon).
Several studies have revealed that increased intake of salt in food items can raise the risk of premature death. Emerging evidence also links high sodium intake and increased risk of other health conditions such as gastric cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, and kidney disease.
The need of the hour is to reduce the salt intake for a healthier humanity, and experts should raise its intake.

Pursuing PG in Pol Science at University of Kashmir. The Central & State Governments have always miserably failed at tiding Kashmir Pandits over terrible times.There might have been several objectives placed forward for cutting through their abject miseries but a calibrated & capital strategy has been never put in place to assure a full & speedy rehabilitation of Pandits.Why has state & central Governments at multiple times shrugged off their responsibilities on Pandits is a question that has been taken up at many times & the obvious answer to it is “Tokenism”.Both parties have played the card of tokenism to make one of the grave issues in Kashmir’s conflict look normal.What’s very important to look at is the manner Pandits have been projected in the Political sphere.They have become a community that has been used for political reference during the time’s of election’s.The grave issue of Pandits is shared by everyone in Kashmir & everyone does share their pain & problems.They were a part of this land & had to leave their home & their everything only because of the terrible times in Kashmir.Its obvious that the attachment of motherland in all Pandits can never disappear.It shall remain in their hearts forever. The principal question is that despite the massive decisions taken by central Govt including the abrogation of Art 370 which completely changed the political environment in J&K,the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits is yet to be done.It requires a very well crafted strategy that aims to rehabilitate them & the driving force to this would be consensus building which must be done.If every opinion of Kashmiri Pandits is taken into consideration,it would be possible for any of the Govt to bring them back to Kashmir. It would be very right to say that Kashmir has always been renowned for the celebration of it’s rich diversity & Pandit community has a massive share in making & shaping of Kashmiri culture.We can never deny the fact that they haven’t played any role here but their role is massive & appreciated as well.Its very unfortunate that some disruptive influences try to harm our rich history of togetherness which we would never let to happen.We have always stood up against any such attempt that was aimed to break our unity & our rich history.We may be not together but our emotional attachment to Kashmir makes us both one that we will cherish & relish forever.At the end let me stress,Kashmiri Pandits need a healing touch,a helping hand & a happy future ahead.
Government Support to Urs in Kashmir a great development Sufi Saints have always held an important place in the history , heritage and society of Kashmir as they are deeply respected and adored across all sections .In a very good development,Div Com Kashmir P K Pole few days back said that support would be extended from government for Urs annually observed at different religious places of Kashmir. Pole while interacting with media persons in Rajbagh said that a formal support from the government would come for the observing of Urs, which takes place in different parts of Kashmir. He further said that a proper policy has the government come up with in this regard. “People of Kashmir cutting across religion lines have faith in Saints and often visits to their holy places,” said P K Pole. It is worth mentioning Kashmiri Sufism not just mirrors the conduct of a Kashmiri individual – both Pundit and Muslim, but on the other hand is a whole of the profound astuteness, all things considered, and sages, who have lived in Kashmir valley directly from the hour of Kashyapa Rishi (from whose name, the word Kashmir is gotten from).
The Government support to the Annual Urs of Sufi Saints is a marvellous step taken by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir.
On average, an adult brain weighs between 1.0 kg – 1.5 kg. It is mainly composed of neurons – the fundamental unit of the brain and nervous system. Recent estimates have suggested that the brain contains anywhere between 86 billion to 100 billion neurons. The brain, along with the spinal cord, constitutes the central nervous system. It is responsible for thoughts, interpretation and origin of control for body movements. Brain on fire is a theory that proposes a relationship between inflammation and depression. Numerous studies show that many people diagnosed with depression have elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which affect brain function and mood. Some people believe that depression could be linked to lifestyle, diet, or even environmental pollution. Other experts believe it’s a physical response to environmental stressors or worries. According to the brain on fire theory, there is a physiological response to a supposed threat. That’s where the inflammatory and immune system response comes from. In this case, it acts like your worst enemy and weakens you instead of protecting you. According to the brain on fire theory, when the brain perceives a stressor, it releases cortisol. This hormone triggers the production of cytokines, vasoactive amines, nitric oxide, and glucocorticoids. When your body detects the presence of a virus, it triggers an immune response with the goal of fighting the enemy. The immune response is inflammation. The brain on fire theory states that our bodies trigger this same immune response when we experience pressure, stress, fear, or anxiety.First of all, let me clarify something important. Not all depression is created equal, and not all depression is caused by inflammation. The brain on fire theory comes into play for individuals who have tried psychological therapy and medication and have seen no improvement.Depression is a mood disorder that effects millions of people around the world. Fortunately, depression has been studied for decades and there is a wealth of information available for people who have depressive symptoms. Many treatments for depression are highly effective and can provide relief in just a few weeks. If you have a mood disorder, your general emotional state or mood is distorted or inconsistent with your circumstances and interferes with your ability to function. You may be extremely sad, empty or irritable (depressed), or you may have periods of depression alternating with being excessively happy (mania). Anxiety disorders can also affect your mood and often occur along with depression. Mood disorders may increase your risk of suicide.Some examples of mood disorders include:Major depressive disorder — prolonged and persistent periods of extreme sadnessBipolar disorder — also called manic depression or bipolar affective disorder, depression that includes alternating times of depression and maniaSeasonal affective disorder (SAD) — a form of depression most often associated with fewer hours of daylight in the far northern and southern latitudes from late fall to early springCyclothymic disorder — a disorder that causes emotional ups and downs that are less extreme than bipolar disorderPremenstrual dysphoric disorder — mood changes and irritability that occur during the premenstrual phase of a woman’s cycle and go away with the onset of periods.Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) — a long-term (chronic) form of depressionDisruptive mood dysregulation disorder — a disorder of chronic, severe and persistent irritability in children that often includes frequent temper outbursts that are inconsistent with the child’s developmental ageDepression related to medical illness — a persistent depressed mood and a significant loss of pleasure in most or all activities that’s directly related to the physical effects of another medical conditionDepression induced by substance use or medication ― depression symptoms that develop during or soon after substance use or withdrawal or after exposure to a medication.Trouble is inevitable in the life of this world; this is how Allah swt has decreed it and He has made it a place of trials and tests, and a bridge to the Hereafter. Even the best of His creation, the prophets, were never free of troubles. Life is never plain sailing for anyone, young or old. You may have reason to rejoice one day, then reason to feel sad for many other days; this is how it always is in the life of this world and this is how people are all the time. Who among us has not felt grief and sorrow as a result of the calamities we see befalling the Muslims, day after day? Who among us has not lost interest in this world and everything in it, because of what we hear or see? But when these feelings of sadness and loneliness or bad moods persist and prevent us from living a normal life or carrying out the duties that are required of us, or fulfilling the rights of others, or they cause us to neglect the blessings of Allah swt which He has bestowed upon us and fail to give thanks for as we should, at that point sadness moves from being something natural to being a case of weakness and sickness that needs to be treated. There is no greater remedy for that than patience and fearing Allah swt, and thinking positively of Allah swt, the Lord of the Worlds, putting one’s trust in Him, delegating one’s affairs to Him and turning to Him in all times of calamity. If the state of grief worsens and leads to some level of depression, then in addition to this spiritual remedy, showing patience, putting one’s trust in Allah swt and always remembering Him, medical attention from a knowledgeable and trustworthy specialist is also needed. The symptoms of depression include the following: · Always feeling sad, anxious and in a bad mood· Loss of interest and lack of enjoyment in activities that people usually enjoy· Constant pessimism and feeling helpless in the face of life’s problems· Feelings of guilt, worthlessness and social alienation· Inability to show or express feelings towards others or to accept feelings from others· Trouble sleeping, such as insomnia, sleeping too long or waking up too early· Eating problems (overeating or loss of appetite)· Chronic physical pain from which no remedy brings relief· Weepiness· Getting tense quickly; hyperactivity and not being able to calm down and relax· Constant feelings of tiredness and inability to do any physical activity· Inability to concentrate, remember or take sound decisions If four or more of the symptoms mentioned above are present, then you should consult a specialist in psychology.In addition to seeking medical treatment, you should try to keep yourself busy with useful activities, such as reading Quran and other books, and engaging in hobbies and so on. Do not forget some natural remedies that will re-energise you and help the brain to regain energy, such as honey and dried fruits.One of the prescriptions that was often used in the past is talbeenah. According to an authentic report, the Messenger of Allah swt (blessings and peace of Allah swt be upon him) said concerning it: “Talbeenah brings comfort to the sick person and it lessens grief.” Narrated by al-Bukhari, 5101; Muslim, 2216 Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah swt have mercy on him) said in Zad al-Ma‘ad:This broth clears that from the stomach and intestines, cleanses it, makes it flow, makes it more liquid, adjusts it, and restores balance. Thus it gives relief, especially for the one who usually eats barley bread, which was the custom of the people of Madinah at that time; it was their staple food, as wheat was very expensive for them. And Allah swt knows best. Talbeenah is a broth made from barley flour with its bran, to which a cup of water is added, and it is heated on a low fire for five minutes, then a cup of milk and a spoonful of honey is added.
News Kashmir Exclusive Two years ago, the Government of India via parliament decided to annul the country’s special constitutional arrangement with Jammu and Kashmir and separate Ladakh from the rest of former J&K. The Jammu and Kashmir , Ladakh were made two seperate Union Territories.
Two years down the line the narartives are different . Many in the country believe that after abrogation of the article 370 Jammu and Kashmir has changed for better , while another large section including many local parties believe the Jammu and Kashmir has changed to worse . After the abrogation Jammu and Kashmir like many parts of the country wherein former political rivals came together against the BJP ,the Jammu and Kashmir saw a similar coming together of the principal rivals, the National Conference of the Abdullahs and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) of the Muftis after the BJP fulfilled one of its core agendas. National Conference leaders Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah, and PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti, joined hands and held meetings after their release in 2020 from house detention in August 2019.They adopted resolutions to fight for restoration of the special status available to Jammu and Kashmir earlier. The Gupkar Alliance is said to be preparing for assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir, speculated to be held next year.Another big change has been witnessed with reference to the property rights .Following abrogation of the special status, the central government issued a notification amending the Jammu and Kashmir Development Act dropping the “permanent residents” phrase. Now, ‘outsiders’ can buy land in Jammu and Kashmir if it is not an agricultural land.Regional political parties of Jammu and Kashmir have termed the article 370 abrogation a big disaster. The statement of PAGD also known as Gupkar alliance comprising of NC, PDP, Congress and communists reflected on hopelessness on eve of second anniversary of article 370 abrogation in Jammu and Kashmir as it stated that August 05 marks the completion of two years since the unprecedented assault on the constitution of India was taken to nullify Article 370 of the constitution – thereby damaging the very bond of our relationship with union of India . By demolishing the constitution of Jammu & Kashmir by the Government it has crossed all the limits of constitutionality PAGD observed Downgrading historic state of Jammu & Kashmir and dividing it into two separate union territories without the consent of the people and also ignoring the Resolution adopted by J&K legislature on 03 March 2004 to preserve the unity and the secular character of Jammu & Kashmir state has set a precedent that any state can cease to exist as a state and can be carved up into any number of fragments any time , by placing it under Governors Rule. Thereby the very existence of a state becomes a matter of central discretion, a substantial step towards a unitary state. On the other hand, regarding the regional political parties’ denial against the BJPs claims in context of Jammu and Kashmir, Senior Leader and BJP General Secretary (J&K) Ashok Koul said, “Be they deny it or not, the main thing is that West Pak Refugees were given domicile.” “The biggest injustice was the denial of domicile to those West Pak Refugees living in Jammu and Kashmir. Now they have been given domicile/citizenship; is this achievement not visible to these political leaders?” he asked, adding that L K Advani, who also belonged to the same community became the Deputy Prime Minister of India.On ground zero , The strong view is that economy of Kashmir has collapsed and depression among people is growing since two years of abrogation of the article 370 and partition of State into two Union Territories.
Education establishments (schools, universities, and colleges) in India are as of now dependent on conventional strategies for realizing, that is, they follow the customary set up of eye to eye addresses in a study hall. Albeit numerous scholastic units have additionally begun mixed learning, still a great deal of them are left with old methods. The unexpected flare-up of a dangerous illness called Covid-19 brought about by a Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) shook the whole world. Around 32 crore students halted to move schools/universities and all instructive exercises ended in India. The flare-up of COVID-19 has instructed us that change is inescapable. It has filled in as an impetus for the instructive foundations to develop and choose stages with advancements, which have not been utilized before the World Health Organization pronounced it as a pandemic. The present circumstance tested the instruction framework across the world and constrained instructors to move to an online method of educating for the time being.

This article or module additionally put some light on the development of EdTech Start-ups during the hour of pandemic and cataclysmic events and incorporates ideas for scholastic organizations of how to manage difficulties related with internet learning. This article will endeavor an investigation of Origin of Covid 19, its effect on education and More critically this article will through a shift of light to the significant situations of Covid 19.

Each high level nation has bowed before it bewilderingly. The undertakings of each created country as far as wellbeing framework have brought about disappointment. The world is in confusion, neglecting to get its fix .BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, one of the principal architects of United States of America has admirably dissected that an interest in instruction pays the wellbeing. This investigation of Franklin about venture ought to be a stunner for strategy producers or rulers. As schooling a fundamental right of an individual is in pitiable structure in our country India particularly in its association domain ‘Kashmir’. The new passage of Covid-19 has changed the situation by and by .The world is confronting the Grasim gibbets of Corona infection. It has become so scary that individuals dread it more than the tutelary god of death .Lockdown is significant and compelling advance taken by the rulers. And yet around in excess of 2 hundred nations on the planet, lion’s share of them are putting colossal measures of cash in schooling area to inspire their nations by boosting persistent ones who long to demonstrate their courage in any field .In our country sadly this area is controlled by officials chose by administering parties who have no insight .The more we bureaucratize the instruction framework the more it will tumble down. The injury can be settled simply by building up current frameworks furnished with logical advancements and conscientious instructors. This will yield vital mountains and help in hardening of instruction framework. Without contributing there will be no change and whenever done it ought to be used in a legitimate appropriate way.Some ardent instructors began to educate on Google homeroom , Tube however it too needs quick web speed , on internet speed it squeezes and makes dissatisfaction . Also not every person in the valley can manage cell phones to go to u Tube addresses, so a demonstration of isolation is made. We accept training is significant for bringing forth social orders which are unprejudiced and are liberated from regionalism, doctrines and parochial thoughts about others. We accept the world has begun moving like panthers speed from separating to unity .The more many-sided or intense the world turns into the more creative we should be to meet its troubles. Without a doubt the importance of life has changed in the current century. However, our nation is yet to change its thought processes and destinations to address the issues of force and impending age’s .Allah Almighty says in the event that I envelop any country by any infection a similar sickness is related with its cure .But that cure must be found by individuals who have such information and offices. Our nation need to acquire improvement instruction area by contributing gigantic sum in order to delete every one of the hindrances. There is a Chinese adage which says that assuming you need to live for over hundred years, you have just a single choice to instruct individuals. I trust viable and urgent advances will be taken to beat the high eased up issues which have not been taken at this point.

Various sheets have effectively delayed the yearly assessments and passageway tests. Confirmation measure got deferred.

The Center for Monitoring Indian Economy’s appraisals on joblessness shot up from 8.4% in mid-March to 23% toward the beginning of April and the metropolitan joblessness rate to 30.9% (Educationasia.in).

There are many terms associated with education. Information, knowledge, learning, pedagogy, etc., are relevant to education. The best definition says that education is a systematic learning . If we focus on the word “ systematic”, it becomes clear that any experience in life can be a process of learning, provided that a person is ready to learn it. In other way, it can be understood that the whole life is a process of learning, if there are suitable educational environments. But the point that is worthy to discuss is that education has been narrowly understood. Learning some basic facts without knowing them deeply is not education. Some persons are genius in memorizing the facts or things. They easily win the day when it comes to rote-learning during the exams. The persons who are creative in nature, have to lose the day because they can’t write an answer without having a solid proof. In this atmosphere, rote learners with no intellect, get passed with flying colors while those who want to know things deeply and develop their own thoughts, are left behind. They can’t do anything more but wait for the divinity to interrupt. What are the causes responsible for this? How can a genius person loses the day while another person with no intellect becomes the master? There should be apparent flaws in the process of learning that make it possible to have this degeneration. It is not an issue of some years. But centuries are required for this malaise. So, I would like to throw some light over the basic causes responsible for this. First is our educational system hates innovation. The word “ innovation” is not in our dictionaries. Status quo has been the order of the day for a long period of time. Every year, barren minds are produced. They follow the centuries old ways of living, understanding, learning, etc. Their minds don’t see light at the end of the tunnel. The light that welcomes innovation. Innovative minds always look out for the solutions that can break the status quo and place the society on the path of innovation. Rote learning is abhorred. Its nature is questioned. Evaluation takes place. It is this evaluation that makes a learning society. Second is that our educational system is dominated by exams. We only have this parameter to judge intelligence of students. The creator of exams has advised that exams should be ended sooner or later. It is not the best way of judging any person’s ability. Exams halt the intellectual process of a learner. He or she is not in a position to see above the existing exams. His or her mind gets habitual to looking at the same process that has not left us for centuries. In this situation, rote learning rules the roost, creativity has to fail and beat its head against the wall. Third is that our educational system is corrupted. Money does what creativity doesn’t. Learning some questions without understanding them provide an opportunity to qualify an exam. It doesn’t matter whether a student has understood it or not. In this situation, creativity still waits for answers to soothe his or her nerves. He or she hates the existing situation. In this atmosphere, he or she follows others or is forced to stop learning and become intellectually barren, with no purpose of living. Creativity hates corruption while rote learning loves it. In this tussle of opposite things, it is rote learning that wins because the worldly set up is administered by rote learners. How can they accept creativity? They call it an alien concept. Fourth is that we need instant gratification. Results should come in a day. We hate long term planning. We invest for days and want result in days as well. We are impatient. In this atmosphere, rote learning will give the best results. It is because as mentioned above, they are under the supervision of those, who themselves are the products of short term gains. When a rote learner passes an exam with distinctions, he or she is praised by one and all. In the same breath, when a creative person doesn’t pass an exam for three years due to his or her creative or curious nature, he or she is not taken into account by the society. They generally are hated. Their views are rejected. They are called useless persons. Fifth is that we never bother to look at the divine plan. If a divine book is received without knowing its deep meaning and its relevance with the present, it is of no use to recite it. When the Creator hates rote learning, how can the creation of His feel delighted in rote-learning. He wants us to understand what you are reciting. Why have I revealed these books to you? Which way is to follow and which not? Who is your friend and foe? These things are discussed in a holy book. But still we love to recite it for the sake of good deeds and never bother to ponder over the real objective of revelation. Sixth is materialism. Rote learning is the basic foundation of materialism. When this is the case, why it is necessary to hack behind the ways of creative learning. Enjoy the moments of rote learning and the best will come in the form of materialistic things. What can we expect from this thinking? Every where there will be donkeys ruling. Creativity will hang its head in shame. The need of the hour is to understand students and plan accordingly. It can be prove beneficial at the end of the day. We have suffered a lot and cannot afford to suffer more in the future. Let us pledge that there should be a reasonable change on the ground level. Hope good sense prevails.
