In every field, women are slowly taking up the most valued position. It has gradually become the source of women’s empowerment. Most of the women are doing their best to evoke more awareness. Thus, it becomes a considerable accomplishment when valued companies trust women for their top-rank positions, such as board director. 

Reliance is India’s most valuable firm, and 16% of the directors on the boards of 500 valued corporations are women. Thus, they had led every other woman fueled with power and pride. 

In the recent Hurun India’s ranking of the top 500 firms in India, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) became the largest IT company in India by taking the top spot among the top 10 employers of women in India. Approximately 2.1 lakh, or 35%, of the company’s workforce, are women in this company which is a great deal! 410 of the 500 listed firms have female membership on their directors.

In the last year, these valued firms have potentially added 3.9 lakh new positions for the employee. Currently, 11.6 lakh women are employed in the business. 

1,24,498 women work at Infosys, a large company and a well-reputed pursuit. 

HCL Technologies employs 62,780 women, compared to Wipro’s 88,946 female employees. 40%, 36%, and 28% of the staff at these firms are primarily female.

The list of the most valuable firms in the nation is topped by Reliance Industries Ltd., which Mukesh Ambani owns. The industry has a valuation of Rs 17.25 lakh crore. The second most valuable and publicly traded corporation in India is TCS, while HDFC Bank is ranked third. Adani Total Gas and Adani Enterprises are Gautam Adani’s businesses that hold the position right after these firms.

It’s great news that now women hold 16% of the board director positions on the boards of the 500 most valuable corporations. These firms have 664 female directors in total. Gradually, women are finding more value and respect in every field, which is a reason to celebrate women’s empowerment.  

In terms of government jobs, SBI has become the topmost government-driven business providing women’s appointments, and the growth rate has exceeded 14%. However, the start-ups like Zomato, Nike Policy Bazar, and Paytm have declined to propose jobs for female employees. With a net worth of Rs 2.19 lakh crore, vaccine manufacturer Serum Institute of India is the most valuable unlisted firm in the nation.

The festival blooms with the native’s skills and talents. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar attended the festival’s opening ceremony as the chief guest.

Visitors can see the Naga tribes, their cultures, and their unique characteristics during the 10-day celebration.

The Hornbill festival is named after the Indian Hornbill. The famous bird is also mentioned in Nagaland mythology and is a frequent visitor to the region’s forested areas. As a collection of cultural exhibitions of India, the festival first made a debut in 2000. This event aims to maintain and broaden the protection of Naga culture and tradition. The Nagaland Tourism Board’s efforts helped the event become a big success.

The main tale around the festive is about the bird Hornbill. The festival showcases the utter love and protection of the wilderness by the people of Nagaland.

Each tribe displays its talent and skills by performing individual performances highlighting its perspective and authenticity. There is a religious parade, folk songs, and many other interpretations which showcase the beauty of the tribe. 

Numerous dancing shows, beauty pregnant, and singing competitions are organized for visitors and people. The agenda is to keep competitiveness alive in a positive way. Plus, there are food stalls in each tribe that holds the essence of the tribe.

World’s battle with HIV AIDS: The World AIDS Day

Each year on December 1, people worldwide acknowledge World AIDS Day for health concerns. This comes as an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV as well as to stand in solidarity with those living with HIV. Plus, to memorialize those who have died from AIDS. 

In 1987, World Aids Day was proposed, among local and state governments, international organizations, and private individuals, where the focus was mainly on promoting and communicating the concept of AIDS and HIV. The idea was generated by two UN Officials, Thomas Netter, and James W. Bunn, in Geneva in, Switzerland. 

UN officials later shared the idea with the director of the global program on AIDS, Dr. Jonathan Mann. 

He was satisfied and moved by the idea of the UN officials. From there on, every year, people observe World AIDS day on December 1. 

The theme for World AIDS Day 2022 is “Rock the Ribbon.”

However, the worldwide response people are giving to such serious illnesses is at a dangerous stake. Although with the spread of HIV, people are frequently found putting their life in jeopardy. HIV AIDS still holds a risky stage in the global epidemic as many issues affect people’s lives. Many flaws influence the scenario, which is inequality, including divisions and issues related to human rights. 

There are plenty of divergences related to HIV AIDS, which can work as fuel to encourage misinformation. Injustices are hindering the struggle to eliminate AIDS, and UNAIDS is appealing to all to rectify that hindered injustice on World AIDS Day, December 1.

In reports, it observed that in the year 2021, around 38.4 million people worldwide, the HIV is carried by over. Nonetheless the history and development of the disease since 1984, has reached many levels of jeopardy in human history. 

It is also stated that in the United Kingdom, an HIV diagnosis receives an average of 4,139 persons yearly.

Thus, World Aids day is mainly acknowledged to eradicate any misconception, promote more awareness, and fund financial development and education. 

Night market to gleam by the glory of Jal Mahal

Night markets are one of those things that light up everybody’s mood after a long tiring day. This year, the Jaipur municipal corporation has found the best place to schedule the night bazaar. The night market will take place beside the beauty of the Jal Mahal and its glory. 

The decision to schedule the night market in chaura raasta failed due to the outrage and protest of the local traders. Thus, in the end, Jal Mahal has been decided as the final venue for night market.

The Jaipur municipal corporation has started its preparation in a full-fledged way. Around 200 stalls have been set in the night market, holding unique positions. There will be different stalls such as food stalls, handicraft and artisans shops, clothing stalls, and much more. 

The trial will include various other artists, who will entertain the visitors with dances from Rajasthan, including puppet dances, folk-geet, dhol-naga de dances, Kal Belia dances, Bhavai dances, Chari dances, Kachi Ghodi, and Punjabi Dhol.

As there will be 40 stalls for food, in ratio to that, there will be 150 stalls of handicrafts and artisans. Jaipur is officially famous for the works of handicrafts and artisans. Therefore, the handicraft workers will get more exposure, and the customers will get various types of handicraft work and artisans in one place. 

The stall will promote the tourism factor and the culture of the land. Thus, the time to visit the night Bazar will be from 7:00 pm to 2:00 am. There were many options in mind for the location of the night market. However, given the vast space of Jal mahal, the committee stuck with it. Jal Mahal not only offers space for the night market but also offers space for parking which will ease many visitors. 

Though, the committee will finalize a final location for the night market after the reports of the trial. After the trial, tenders will be processed to locate the place.
