Africa Rising

Africa rising

Africa is second largest continent of the world .it is also a undiscovered continent . Africa is a land of large quantity of minerals and fossils fuels .Now a day Africa have 50 percent population below 30 years , so it is youngest continent.

Despite so much mineral and fossil fuel Africa is most backward continent of world ,due to certain policies of colonial countries and after independent  conflicts and violence in Africa is main reason of backwardness. Lack of research and lack of expose to world making them backward . lack of use of resources making Africa backward ,Africa have minerals and crude oil, hydro power  but  technically backward to exploit its vast natural resources.

But due to effort by  united nation peace keeping force there is stability in some countries .Now European countries are investing in Africa .India have also invested in Africa . Indian companies are investing in several countries . India have started skill development program in some countries . Countries receiving strong investment and business interest from India includes south Africa , Angola ,Nigeria due to their high growth market ,mineral rich reserves and crude oil reserves. The resource sector ,especially oil and coal are of particular interest for Indian investors . the pharmacy care are second sector of interest from a export prospective and potential market for medical tourism. Now time is coming when Africa will be a good destination for investment.

In this way Africa is rising

Join Hand and defeat Poverty

International day for the eradication of poverty (international)

17 October 2015

17 October every year we join hand for eradicating poverty.

What is primary cause of poverty ?

I think primary cause of poverty is unemployment, lack of capacity to make asset. If a person is able to make asset he can sell it or can use it by himself. Now why lack of skill ?

I think it is because who have skill do not want to share his skill because to make more profit so the main cause of poverty is profit making strategy and mentality. Rich people are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer because rich people are sucking money from poor to make them richer. now a day school education is different for   rich and for poor ,failure of government machinery making poorer more poor .there are so many plans but poverty prevails in our society ,a normal boy or girl not get what he or she want because of poverty . The fact you cant deny that few have very much and a large portion of society have nothing except right to vote but due to mind washing they use this right in wrong way and no good things happen.

Now question arise that should we lose hope and say nothing will happen .

I think no .  we should fight for it .Those who have skill should give skill to young people so that next coming years when they work and work will eradicate their poverty. Those who are industrnalist should come forward to train people, and government machinery should be overhauled and officers should be sensitive toward humanity not their position and status in the society.

We the normal people can also eradicate poverty by helping some one to get some skill or idea ,if we able to help one person a year then we are successful in our mission.

Let  join our hands to  eradicate poverty  and live a dignified life

Inflation

Concept of inflation

There should be a balance between supply of goods and services and money floating in the market

Money can have its core value like gold ,silver coin that have value when we melt it, or make jewellery , so  these type of coin have value without any governmental release . or money can have its face value like rupees or dollar paper note . Paper note have no core value but have face value because government releases it through its bank and assure you that note having a face value is able to buy that value .In India central bank is reserve bank of India

Reserve bank of India releases rupee notes and Government of India  releases coins

Inflation and deflation

When the supply of good is greater than supply of  money or money floating in system deflation occur. Means that price of goods will decrease .

And  When the supply of good is lesser than money floating in the system the price of goods will increase and inflation takes place.

 Generally positive inflation rate (1 %to 2 %) is maintained to  make economy increasing and for development.

Let  understand from an example

Assume there is only five apple in the system and government releases only 100 coins ,then one apple cost  is 20 coins. Next year apple production is good and 10 apple is produced that  year and government releases another 100 coins so  200/10=20 ,so one apple cost is 20 coins .in this year the apple price is same as previous year so no inflation and no deflation. Now the system have 200 coins floating , Next year apple production is  same as previous year i.e. 10 apple but government releases  another 100 coin and system money increases to 300 coins  so one apple cost is 300/10 =30  , so the price of apple increases from 20 to 30 this is inflation . Like wise when production increases and money floating is system is same  then price of goods decreases. In this way inflation and deflation takes place

In fact the existing system is very big  and quite complex

Inflation in India depends on food production and agriculture and is indirectly or directly affected by monsoon.
