With the rising number of working women in India, there is a rise in the cases of sexual harassment at workplace. A study reveals that as much as 79% of working women endure sexual harassment at work place mostly in the form of verbal harassment.  Still, maximum cases go unreported and there are many reasons behind it. Foremost reason is the lack of awareness among women employees about what gets covered under the definition of sexual harassment. In many countries like UK and US, Sexual harassment is identified as violence against women and there are legislative measures in place to combat. In India, also, a bill was passed in 2010 “The protection of women against sexual harassment at work place bill, 2010”. Preceding to that in 1997, the Supreme Court of India in Vishaka vs State of Rajasthan, AIR 1997 SC 3011 (known as Vishaka guidelines) recognized sexual harassment at work place as violation of human rights and defined sexual harassment as  any unwelcome sexually dete...

#TEN_REASONS_WHY_RUPEE_IS_SINKING_EACH_PASSING_DAY : Here are 10 main reasons which experts feel are responsible for the Indian rupee -- which has #depreciated as much as 16 percent this year -- to touch new lows each passing day: #Widening_Current_Account_Deficit: This is resulting in creating more actual as well as speculative demand for the dollar and other convertible currencies. #Policy_Inaction: Perception of lack of clarity on policy front is also fanning speculative demand wherein the Reserve #Bank of India #RBI) on one day said it will tighten liquidity and on yet another said it will inject $1 billion in the #market. #Low_Forex_Reserves: India's foreign exchange (Forex) reserves are enough to cover imports of seven month only.

8 Things Really #Successful People Do :  Most people claim to want success. But not everyone is willing to do the hard work and the smart work to get there. Often opportunities present themselves and because people are distracted, they miss them or give up on them before things fully develop. Truly successful people don't leave much to chance. They are disciplined and focused.  They constantly seek new methods to achieve more, in bigger and faster ways. Listed below are eight different practices that will help you concentrate your efforts on rising above the tide. 1. Make Materialism Irrelevant Fancy cars and houses are all well and good, but many foolishly focus on the byproducts of success, rather than concentrating on building sustainable success in the first place. Establish a bare minimum for your material needs, and then you can enjoy the benefits of success, debt and stress free. 2. Enhance Knowledge Success comes faster to those who are open, a...

DURGA SHAKT NAGPAL : The name, a bit uncommon, is enough to feel the real substance behind it. She did what an IAS officer is supposed to do and what many others like her do not dare to do.    The way the institution of a politician has seen a rapid fall in the eyes of the masses, the administrative officialdom too has gone down in public esteem. To get a simple work done smoothly in any government office is simply not possible, thanks to the nexus between the corrupt politician and the doubly smart and conniving babus. It's only officers like Durga Shakti, very rarely seen to be receiving media sympathies, who make a difference and help restore people's confidence in the system.    I had a couple of friends who made it to the IAS. Bright, dreamy eyed, full of vigour to change the system and become genuinely 'people's servants'.  And then they started experiencing  hurdles at every step. Initially they were called, 'immature, adventurist, 'naya n...
