New Delhi, 14 December: Pahle India Foundation (PIF) appeals to the ‘GOM on Online Gaming’ ahead of its 1st meeting, to review existing Lottery Regulations as well. Pahle India Foundation (PIF) welcomes the Government of India’s decision to constitute a Group of Ministers (GOM) to review the regulatory framework for the Online Gaming Industry.

As the GoM meets for its first meeting on the 15th Dec under the chairmanship of the Hon’ble Union Home Minister, PIF would like to appeal to the members of the GoM to also review the existing regulations on ‘Lottery’ and bring necessary reforms.

PIF has recently concluded a study titled ‘Lottery in India – A Study on Regulatory Framework and Potential for Social Funding’ where it has reviewed the existing regulations on Lottery in the country and has identified major gaps. PIF recommends an urgent review of the 25-year-old regulation in light of the increased internet penetration in India in the last few decades, and the absence of player protection and minimum age criterion in the existing rules. The offshore online lotteries operating outside the jurisdiction of the Indian regulatory apparatus pose significant challenges and demand urgent attention.

PIF has also done a comprehensive review of the operational processes and the financial models followed by the Indian States where a lottery is currently allowed and operational. In such states also, there is an urgent need for reforms to bring transparency using technology, and adopt best practices to ensure child safety and player protection.

PIF has also reviewed lottery ecosystems in countries like the UK and explored the sector’s potential for social funding in India. Pahle India Foundation is a New Delhi-based economic think tank founded by Dr Rajiv Kumar in 2013. Its motto is ‘Putting India First to Make India First’. PIF has done in-depth research on ‘Online Gaming’ as well as ‘Lottery’. Its reports ‘A Regulatory Framework for the Online Gaming Sector’ and ‘Lottery in India.

Hyderabad, December 14, 2023….We live in a country where touching the earth is considered a good omen. Be it a sport like Kabaddi, an artist performing on a stage, a farmer who cultivates the land, touching the earth is practiced from ages. It is an age-old practice in our country. But, we don’t pay much attention to soil health. Instead, a lot of attention is given to producers and production said Dr Sagar Hanuman Singh, DG, NIPHM (National Institute of Plant Health Management, Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture, Govt of India while addressing a gathering at the opening of Bio-Agri conference at HICC, Madhapur on Wednesday.

He was the Chief Guest at the Bio-Agri 2023, a two-day conference on Bio-Agri Industry. 300 delegates from across India and the world are participating in the conference.

The theme for Bio Agri 2023 is “BioAg by 2030 – Miles To Go– Billions to Reach”. BIPA International Journal of Biological Agriculture was launched during the conference. An exhibition was also inaugurated along with the conference and several companies exhibited their products.

Soil gives us so much. In the food pyramid, we must start with soil. We have been abusing soil for the past 70 years with chemical fertilizers due to pressure to feed the rising population. As a result, the soil is now contaminated. It has lost its vigor, vitality, and fertility. This is where soil regeneration has arisen. So keep an eye on deteriorating soil health. Government of India schemes emphasize on soil health, in turn, plant health and human health, he added. Help soil regain its original blissful state, emphasised, Dr Sagar Hanuman Singh, DG, NIPHM

We at NIPHM train farmers how to produce Bio-fertilisers using local resources without using chemicals and technology. Associations like BIPA must discourage fly-by-night operators. More emphasis must be on quality rather than on cheap cost which these fly-by-night operators offer.

In our testing, we found that quite a significant number of Biological products and bio-pesticides do not meet standards. Quite a lot of products contain chemical pesticides, said Dr Hanuman Singh.

Dr. SK Malhotra, Project Director of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Directorate of Knowledge Management in Agriculture (DKMA-ICAR) delivered the Bio Agri Conference address. He said the Observers Research Foundation put India in first place compared to G-20 countries in climate-smart agriculture.

He maintained that our production levels rose despite hiccups due to climate change-related problems. The country has adopted climate-resilient agriculture. India now needs to bring back nature-positive agriculture. The Pandemic taught us many lessons. We should now scale up natural-positive food systems that would simultaneously promote crop, soil, and human health, he said.

The good news is that Microbial Bio Stimulants can be registered now. Biostimulant products which are now being regulated under new Gazette Notification guidelines in India he announced

Further, he said by 2047, when India becomes 100 years of being Independent, the government of India will set an agenda to become a global powerhouse for the Food System.

Dr Praveen Rao, Former Vice Chancellor of Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU) spoke about soil health and its importance. We have forgotten 5 Cs. One C is Capability. Without knowing what the soil is capable of producing we are cultivating he said. The second C is the condition of Soil, we should know what best management practices to be adopted. Third C is Capital, the natural capital of soil.

The fourth C is Connectivity and the fifth C is Codification, which talks about the favourable policies, education, governance, etc. Soil health will decide plant health which in turn decides animal health, which subsequently decides ecology health that will have an impact on planet health. In the 1960s fertilizers and water were key areas and now it is soil health he was served.

Dr. KRK Reddy, President of Bio Agri Input Producers Association (BIPA), a 20 years old, non profit body said 90 companies are supporting BIPA

Dr D. R. Venkatesh, Secretary of BIPA gave a report of activities undertaken during the last year. He mentioned that BIPA is the oldest Bio-Agri industry body in the world. He shared that BIPA would be moving into their own office premises next year which was acquired at an investment of Rs 40 lakhs. Govt of Telangana has allocated space on 35 years lease it was informed.

Some of the topics to be addressed during the two-day conference include Bio-abling the future –India opportunity; Global business opportunities in Biologicals, bio-nutrition; Ag-biologicals: opportunities beyond agriculture, emerging technologies and business opportunities, investment opportunities in India, and many others.

BANGALORE – 14th December 2023- New Relic, the all-in-one observability platform for every engineer, announced findings from its State of Ecommerce in India report. The independent survey of more than 2,000 Indian online shoppers reveals that 60% of respondents said they would leave an app mid-engagement if they experienced buffering for longer than 10 seconds, and 20% said that they wouldn’t tolerate more than five seconds of buffering before they abandoned or switched apps. Apps freezing or crashing, as well as misleading app descriptions, were also primary concerns.

“As attention spans continue to drop and app marketplaces become more crowded, buffering is a key consumer concern that must be addressed by ecommerce providers seeking to gain market share,” said New Relic Vice President Sales for India Prasad Rai. “Observability solves these challenges by providing insights into why particular systems are experiencing lag and pinpoints issues before they impact the digital customer experience. Observability is a game changer for engineering teams because it allows them to proactively analyse and optimise their systems based on logs, metrics, and traces to provide a real-time view of collated data.”

Key findings from the State of Ecommerce in India report include:

Multiple notifications lead to churn:

• Consumers faced various challenges with mobile apps, such as multiple notifications (41%), slow buffering/loading times (38%), and draining batteries (34%). Multiple notifications were particularly bothersome for Android users (41%) compared to iOS users (34%).

• Although 72% of survey respondents said they most often use mobile apps for online purchases, 59% used less than three mobile apps for their daily online shopping. This finding indicates that while consumers download and actively use shopping apps, they are selective about which apps they use.

Speedy apps and delivery times lead to greater customer satisfaction:

• A slow loading time was one of the biggest reasons for consumers to stop using an app mid-engagement (34%), or even delete it (25%), indicating that addressing delays and buffering is critical for technology teams. It becomes even more problematic during online sales such as Black Friday, with outages having the potential to impact reputation and revenue.

• Survey respondents expressed the importance of a speedy user experience, both in terms of app responsiveness and product delivery time. Nearly half (46%) of respondents noted that a key reason to download a shopping app was its ability to offer a better or faster user experience compared to the website equivalent.

• Consumers also expected product delivery times to be swift, which was reflected in their uptake of 15-minute delivery services. More than half (55%) said they use instant online grocery delivery apps that deliver in 15 minutes or less at least once per week.

Consumers seek a personalised experience and regular promotions:

• More than half (59%) of the survey respondents said they use less than three mobile apps for their daily online shopping, indicating that online retailers need to develop brand loyalty by finding new and innovative ways to capture consumer attention.

Consumers have a strong desire for secure online payments:

• Nearly half noted that instant updates and notifications (42%) and seamless payment functionality (41%) are desirable features of a mobile shopping app.

• When asked about their top three concerns regarding digital payment methods, survey respondents most frequently cited security and privacy (54%), followed by payment failure (50%) and problems processing refunds (45%).

Methodology

All report data is derived from a survey, which was conducted by YouGov India on behalf of New Relic in June 2023. The goal was to understand the online behaviours of customers shopping on ecommerce websites. The survey was self-administered via an 8 to 10-minute online interview in English. YouGov interviews were conducted with the YouGov panel of 2,008 respondents aged 18–45+, with 55% identifying as male and 45% identifying as female. The report defines online shopping as the purchase of clothing, groceries, and household items.

Timeless classics that resonate with the flavours of childhood. Experience halwas crafted with the finest quality ingredients, ensuring a fleeting rendezvous with nostalgia. The pistachios in Pista Halwa and almonds in Badam halwa are meticulously ground to achieve perfect consistency, ideal for bringing out robust flavours then simmered in rich, creamy Khoya with just the right amount of good fats for a silky smooth finish.

The sweetness is perfectly balanced, bringing back fond memories of homemade halwa from years gone by. The thoughtful execution of traditional methods shines through, creating a heart-warming experience that transports taste buds to a place of genuine culinary reminiscence.

When we think of cold, jaggery is a rarely overlooked component. As a natural sweetener, jaggery has a unique character that resonates with those who appreciate the beauty of unadulterated, natural flavours. In line with this sentiment, Khoya has introduced a nolengur range. ‘ Nolen Gur ‘ which means ‘new jaggery’ in Bengali, occupies the top and premium spot. This jaggery extracted from the sap of date palm tree, has a unique and complex flavor, often described as having hints of caramel, toffee, and a distinctive date-like richness.

Having experimented with various flavor pairings, we’ve introduced three distinct flavors.. The Peanut and nolengurpeda is like a tasty praline with a rounded sweetness and a hint of black salt for that extra kick. Next is the Pista Nolen Gur Peda, where the naturally sweet nuttiness of pistachios perfectly complements the rich, woody caramel sweetness of nolengur. For those with a penchant for nut-free sweets we have Nolan Barfi, an ageless fusion of jaggery and Khoya, with a touch of cardamom. A classic treat for refined taste buds.

This season, we’re thrilled to present a selection of delightful ladoos that capture the essence of winter. Our assortment includes the richness of slow-roasted besan and chana ladoos, the wholesome sweetness of dried anjeer (figs) ladoos, the perfect blend of gur and til, the nourishing goodness of gondladoos, and the popular – panjiriladoos. This carefully chosen selection of winter ladoos is a tribute to cherished traditions, nostalgia of familiar flavors and celebration of togetherness. The ladoos are packaged with love as they are delicately dry roasted in ghee, enriched with cardamom and bejewelled with a bounty of dry fruits. The SattuPedais reminiscent of celebrations. The pride of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand, this crumbly delicacy crowned with a regal silver varq extends its flavours- doubling as a sense of community.
