The Bangladesh Cricket Board has sought security assurance from the country's army chief for conducting the <keyword id="21536718" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="womens-T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">women's T20 World Cup</keyword>, scheduled to be held in October 3-20 amid <keyword id="20444027" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="political-unrest" source="keywords">political unrest</keyword> in the country following ouster of former Prime Minister <keyword id="20024637" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sheikh-Hasina" source="keywords">Sheikh Hasina</keyword>. The women's T20 World Cup is slated to be held in two Bangladesh cities ---- Sylhet and Mirpur.

The warm-up round for the women's T20 World Cup is set to begin on September 27.

It is expected that the ICC could also opt to host the tournament at a different venue within a similar time zone, which leaves India, UAE and Sri Lanka as the choices. The current BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon has also fled the country along with a few others board directors, who were believed to be having the backing of the former PM's party Awami League. However, a few other directors remain in <keyword id="19936600" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dhaka" source="keywords">Dhaka</keyword> and hope that the tournament will not be shifted from Bangladesh. BCB umpiring committee chairman Iftekhar Ahmed Mithu said, "We are trying to host the tournament." "To be honest, there are not too many among us present in the country and on Thursday (August 8) we have sent a letter to the Army Chief regarding assurance about the security of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup as we have only two months in hand," he said. "ICC communicated with us two days back and we replied that we will come back to them shortly." "After the (interim) government is formed, still we have to give them assurance of the security considering it cannot be given by the board or any anyone else apart from a law enforcement agency of the country and so we sent the letter and after getting written assurance from them (the Army), we will inform the ICC," he added.

Nisha Dahiya's Paris Olympics campaign met an unfortunate end as she succumbed to North Korea's Pak Sol Gum in the quarterfinals of the women's 68 kg competition on Monday. Dahiya faced a 8-10 lost to Sol Gum. At one point, she was leading by 8-2, but she faced an injury and had to take some medical timeouts.

In the round of 16, Nisha had defeated Tetiana Sova by 6-4 at the Champs de Mars Arena. Nisha could just make it to the quarterfinals in her debut Olympics. Sova led 4-1 after the first round, but Nisha fought back in the second round to get five more points and turn around the contest in her favour.

Paris Olympics: Vinesh Phogat secures big win to reach women's 50 kg freestyle QFs

The year 2023 began on a bad note for tech workers globally and 91 companies have laid off more than 24,000 tech employees in the first 15 days this month, signalling worse days ahead. About 24,151 tech workers lost their jobs, dominated by companies like Amazon, Salesforce, <keyword id="1972612" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="coinbase" source="Orion">Coinbase</keyword> and others, according to layoff tracking website Layoffs.fyi.Crypto lending exchange Crypto.com last week announced that the company will reduce its global workforce by approximately 20 per cent amid ongoing economic headwinds and unforeseeable industry events. In India, companies like <keyword id="6354720" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ola" source="Orion">Ola</keyword> (which fired 200 employees), voice automated startup Skit.ai, dominated the headlines in January.In December last year, over 17,000 tech employees were shown the door. According to the website which has been tracking job losses since the start of the pandemic, 153,110 workers were let go in 2022, led by companies like <keyword id="399907" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="meta" source="Orion">Meta</keyword>, Twitter, <keyword id="43340" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="oracle" source="Orion">Oracle</keyword>, <keyword id="113675" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="nvidia" source="Orion">Nvidia</keyword>, Snap, Uber, Spotify, Intel and Salesforce, among others. The number of layoffs reached its nadir in November, which saw 51,489 tech workers lose their jobs. Google is another Big Tech company expected to take harsh steps to reduce its headcount in early 2023. Approximately 6 per cent of Google employees could be sacked over "not having enough impact", according to a report by The Information. Google layoffs in 2023 could see as many as 11,000 employees lose their jobs. It means that 2023 is going to become the worst year in the history of the tech world. All eyes are now on the Big Tech quarterly results that will come out at the end of this month.

The local kirana store or India’s largest retail chain, all of them are keen on getting a piece of the <keyword id="1410674" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-grocery-delivery" source="Orion">online grocery delivery</keyword> market. DMart, for instance, has set up its app and pick-up centers for home delivery after handling its bulk delivery orders during the pandemic. Reliance Retail too stepped into this delivery business with its app, <keyword id="8506093" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jiomart" source="Orion">JioMart</keyword> with little success, though it has also invested in Dunzo. Time does matter When it comes to the delivery market, it’s not about what you deliver, how you deliver but it’s all about ‘when’ you deliver. Most of the online <keyword id="2709620" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="grocery-delivery" source="Orion">grocery delivery</keyword> hinges on timing which is why quick commerce companies are walking away with a lion’s share of the pie. “Grocery shopping in India’s major cities is set to undergo a never-seen-before tec(h)tonic shift led by quick commerce platforms,” said a report by JM Financial. Online grocery market has two segments -- quick commerce and scheduled e-grocery. Only Jiomart, Bigbasket and DMart are scheduled e-grocery stores, all the other platforms are in a race of quick delivery business. And the segment seems to be ruled by the ‘10-30-minute delivery’ offered by platforms like <keyword id="6358977" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="swiggy" source="Orion">Swiggy</keyword>, Blinkit, Zepto and Dunzo. Most of the retail chains who intend to deliver groceries however have a one-day lag period between order and delivery. Added to that, quick commerce platforms are addressing multiple consumer pain-points such as convenience, speed, curated assortment, value, and round-the clock standardized services. Online food ordering business is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/retail/news/grocery-business-is-like-poison-pill-for-zomato-after-failing-miserably-two-times-as-per-analysts/articleshow/92202068.cms">aiding growth in the e-grocery as well</a>. Customers who order food online for convenience, wider selection, discounts and standardized customer support are also likely to be more amenable to ordering grocery items online for the very same reasons. This opens up cross-sell opportunities for food-techs like Swiggy and Blinkit, which is merging with Zomato. Paan to curds - quick commerce delivers it all A February 2022 Survey by LocalCircles indicates that 71% of the households used q-commerce platforms to either order daily use items such as milk, bread, eggs, curd, fruits and vegetables, etc. They also ordered indulgence items such as soft drinks, ice creams, chocolates and paan. Though, only 29% of the surveyed households used q-commerce for ‘all their grocery’ purchases. For the bulk purchases however, the large format stores are still in the running as people are going to the stores. DMart is still aggressively opening stores in parts of the country to get back to pre-covid levels. “We believe it will look to accelerate store expansion and the benefit of recent expansion is yet to fully kick in – revenue intensity is lower than pre-Covid levels,” said analysts at ICICI Securities post its March quarter earnings. Redseer estimates the grocery market size in India was worth $620 billion in 2021, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% over the next four years to reach over $850 billion by 2025. Quick commerce is all set for the long haul Quick commerce players are also vying for a bigger piece of the entire pie. The quick ordering might start with fresher foods like fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy and other ready-to-cook items; and also indulgence categories like chocolates, biscuits, snacking items, cold drinks, and tobacco. But it could extend to others too. “We also expect grocery staples, cooking essentials, medicines, baby and personal care, home care and pet care, amongst others, to pick up as consumers become more habituated to ordering through the platforms,” said the JM Financial report. Recently, Swiggy raised $700 million for quick-commerce grocery service Instamart. Zomato poured $150 million into quick commerce startup Blinkit. Zepto raised $200 million and lastly Reliance Industries also caught the quick commerce train by investing $200 million in Dunzo. This also means that competitive intensity is likely to be severe in the near term, between them and also with the big retailers. “Only those platforms that have very strong customer recall, robust back-end supply chain and/or strong balance sheet are likely to survive this battle of attrition,” said the report. JM Financial believes that quick delivery platforms have what it takes to disrupt the unorganized grocery market including neighbourhood kirana stores or even retail chains like DMart in large cities.

<keyword id="1042120" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="uber" source="Orion">Uber</keyword> on Thursday refuted a report that claimed the ride-hailing major planned to exit the Indian market and held discussions with potential buyers to sell its India business. Bloomberg reported that the US-based company explored selling the India business, but "suspended discussions after tech startup valuations cratered." In a statement shared with IANS, an Uber spokesperson said the company never explored exiting India -- not even for a minute -- and the report is "categorically false." "India is as important to Uber today as it was when we launched nine years ago. We are serving riders and drivers across more than 100 cities, hiring Indian talent aggressively, and planning for the next decade and beyond," the company spokesperson said. Uber competes with SoftBank-backed <keyword id="6354720" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ola" source="Orion">Ola</keyword> in the country. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in April that it will expand its product offerings and its team in India. "We continue to expand the product offerings for the Indian consumer. Whether it is autos, motos or high-capacity vehicles or rentals, India has always been a very big part of the Uber journey," he said during the Virtual i3 summit organised by Times Bridge. Uber aims to expand its engineering talent in India to more than 1,000 people from 700 at present, he had announced. Last month, <keyword id="2502101" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="uber-india" source="Orion">Uber India</keyword>'s Director of Central Operations, Nitish Bhushan, said that they are "always striving to make driving with Uber a viable and attractive option for drivers and the recent hike in fares will directly boost their earnings per trip". To remove frustration for riders and drivers alike, the company is also showing trip destinations to drivers before they decide to accept the ride. "Drivers at the Uber advisory council meeting told us they would like more flexibility around payments. We are now showing drivers the mode of payment (cash or online) before the trip starts," the company said. To make the cash or online decision irrelevant, the company has also introduced a daily pay process for drivers. With these changes, the company said that they are also reinforcing their service quality expectations with drivers, especially in areas like cancellation and ensuring AC rides.

The foundation will provide employment-linked skills training, financial literacy and social empowerment through life-skills education. “Our pilot programmes have demonstrated that financial and social independence for women can bring about a significant improvement in the well-being of their families,” said Srinivas Chunduru, Mentor at Ola Foundation and group CHRO. The Ola foundation, which was formed in 2016, is hoping to train women in textile production and printing, in addition to financial and digital literacy programmes, health awareness, and vocational skills. To launch this initiative, Ola conducted multiple researches, which includes talking to the spouses of its driver partners in Bengaluru. It has also partnered with Gram Tarang for social empowerment and life skills training with a 60-hour interactive programme.

Budget 2022-23 reflects the vision of the union government in reimagining cities as centres of sustainable living with opportunities for all, including the youth and women. The unwavered and continued thrust of the budget on Nari Shakti (women power) with focus on education, skilling, entrepreneurship, and financial inclusion is commendable. What is not desirable is the unidimensional approach to enhancing women’s access within urban centres. This year, the gender budget in urban spaces is dominated by the allocations of ₹520 crores for safe cities, ₹250 crores for emergency response, ₹20 crores for the safety of women in public <keyword id="6354639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="road" source="Orion">road</keyword> transport, and ₹5.27 crore for the safety of women tourists. This is indeed a much-needed step in the right direction. Safety is a key factor enabling women’s unfettered access to economic opportunities that a city has to offer. At the same time, as India begins a critical 25-year journey to 100 years of independence, the country should expand its approach to women empowerment from protection against unsafe incidents to inclusion. In other words, India’s safe city paradigm should shift to cover safer and inclusive streets and public spaces. Budget allocations towards well-functioning and continuous street lighting, public amenities such as toilets, and lounge areas for women, more ‘eyes on the street’ as natural surveillance through mixed-land use and presence of hawkers and diverse gender/age population are low-hanging high-impact initiatives cities should undertake. Additionally, planning measures such as bus services on routes frequented by women, multimodal and first- last-mile connectivity, providing real-time transport schedules, developing on-demand stops at night, etc., are a few but necessary measures to provide safety in public transportation. Combined with accessible and seamless grievance redressal systems and safety audits, the effectiveness of safe city initiatives can be ensured. Recognising that gender issues are not unidimensional, safe cities should operate at the intersection of different identities and marginalisations. The safety and accessibility needs of elderly women, pregnant women, women with young children, and women with disabilities, et al need to be integrated into safe city initiatives of India, with learnings for the world. Catering to intersectionality would enable cities to implement wider footpaths, kerb ramps, handrails, spacious restrooms, seating spaces, feeding areas, etc., creating a more inclusive built environment. Additionally, a gender-mainstreamed city plan and associated budgets should take into account facilities like childcare centres, play areas, community centres, clustering of daily amenities either placed along or within walking distance of transit stops, and rental housing for working women. Safe city initiatives for women, therefore, should be rebranded as Safe, Accessible, and Inclusive City initiatives. That’s the only way for cities to reduce their overreliance on <keyword id="6354857" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cctv" source="Orion">CCTV</keyword> cameras and instead enable the freedom of movement of women at all times of the day and night. The current approach to safe cities has the risk of leaving women’s ‘right to the city’ unattended, thereby holding them back from living full lives. For instance, the existing premise is that unless a city installs CCTV cameras on all roads, every nook and corner, women’s mobility will be curtailed. Women may not be able to work late at night or pursue education far away from home. But are CCTVs effective in minimising gender-based violence and making women “feel safe”? At best these cameras can help solve crime after it has been committed and may to some degree minimise crime by increasing the risk of detection for criminal behaviour. India, thus, urgently needs to expand the paradigm of safe cities, and place safe, accessible, and inclusive mobility front and centre. This is not just what the authors of this op-ed want, but what girls and women across India need and deserve. Women constantly make decisions about their commute and expect public transport systems to be affordable, reliable, frequent, comfortable, clean, and safe. Women’s mobility involves trip chaining, travelling with dependents or in off-peak hours, etc. Thus, safety is not the sole priority. Recognising this and leveraging Budget 2022-23, India should aspire to integrate gender equity – comprehensively address women’s needs – in urban planning, development, and governance. The above should be combined with digitalisation and the use of geo-spatial data to track, compare and represent longer-term developments - aspects that the budget already emphasises upon, and justifiably so. Use of mapping and geotagging to report incidents, and notify other women of unsafe areas will have a profound impact on women’s mobility. This would allow for the implementation of safe, accessible, and inclusive city initiatives in an agile, responsive fashion. Overall, unlocking Nari Shakti is not only about women being safe from harassment, but also about enabling their meaningful participation in shaping urban governance and development. Just as India is leading by example by enabling a woman finance minister to steer the country towards growth and sustainable development, all cities and states too should enable women to have a seat at the decision-making table. Women’s voices - needs and aspirations - would thus be heard, leading to the creation of gender-inclusive built environments accompanied by urban policies and budgets. Even as the Union Budget provides a fillip to urban planning, it is imperative that women plan with the city and not be planned for. Multi-level, multi-sectoral, and multi-stakeholder engagement will lead to sustained progress on gender equity. We need gender-sensitive transformative urban policies at all government levels with intersectional coalitions for implementing and closing the feedback loop. This should be supplemented through gender-disaggregated data collection, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes to assess impacts, gender-budgeting at the city level, and increased public awareness. As the budget lays the blueprint for India@2047, it is time to tap into the potential of Nari Shakti by ensuring that investments benefit them, and we realise the vision of a women-led Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Before Elon Musk-led Tesla finally makes its India entry, ride-hailing platform Ola on Monday announced world's largest two-wheeler manufacturing facility called Ola FutureFactory that will have annual production capacity of one crore vehicles and will be operational by 2022. The factory will generate 10,000 direct employment, along with additional jobs being created by Ola vendors and suppliers. According to <keyword id="1543567" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhavish-Aggarwal">Bhavish Aggarwal</keyword>, Chairman and Group CEO, the Phase 1 will be ready with initial annual capacity of two million around June this year. Built over 500 acres in Krishnagiri district in Tamil Nadu, the facility will roll out one scooter every two seconds at full capacity, Aggarwal told mediapersons. "It will have 10 production lines running at full capacity. It will be the most advanced two-wheeler factory with 3,000 AI-powered robots built on Industry 4.0 principles," he said. It will be an integrated manufacturing facility, addressing all needs from battery to finished goods. <keyword id="4393078" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ola-Electric">Ola Electric</keyword> has also released first teaser visuals of the much-anticipated <keyword id="433124" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="electric-scooter">electric scooter</keyword>. The announcement came as Tesla made its official to enter the country and chose Karnataka over Tamil Nadu to firm up its roll-out plans. Ola Electric last year acquired the Netherlands-based Etergo BV, an innovative electric scooter company known for its award-winning AppScooter for an undisclosed sum, and announced its foray into the premium electric two-wheeler market, both globally and nationally. "With electric, digitally connected capabilities, two-wheelers will further emerge as the most preferred urban mobility paradigm around the world and empower every consumer. We look forward to building the best global capabilities in engineering, design, and manufacturing for these products to be made here in India," Aggarwal had said. With European design, strong engineering collaboration and Indian manufacturing and supply chain, Ola Electric said it aims to transform the over 100 million-strong global two-wheeler market, including more than 20-million Indian two-wheeler market, into a clean energy, digital future. The company has plans to set up extensive charging and swapping networks around the country. Ola Electric is also working with India's leading power distribution companies towards developing a conducive EV ecosystem through the establishment of battery swapping and charging stations in New Delhi.

The number of children facing this condition caused by iron deficiency has increased from 58% in 2015-16 to 67% in 2019-21, says the State of Inequality report released by Dr Bibek Debroy, Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister. The cold desert of Ladakh situated in difficult terrain fares the worst - as 92.5% of its children suffer from this health condition. Gujarat comes next with 78% - and this percentage has been growing in the state. The report said that it can be handled by giving importance to nutritional deficiency and ensure that poverty or discrimination isn’t causing it. “Every household should be empowered enough that the Cost of Recommended Diet (CoRD24) is not more than 16% of their household consumption expenditure,” the report said. <div type="image" title="States with highest percentage of anaemic women" msid="91659659" hostid="261"></div> Aneamia is a health condition wherein the body lacks healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen, causing fatigue and a weak immune system. It makes an individual more prone to infections - and in children, it affects their physical and cognitive development. This is majorly caused due to iron and folic acid deficiency. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Anaemia is going down in tribal-dominated areas" comment="subhead" text="Anaemia is going down in tribal-dominated areas">Anaemia is going down in tribal-dominated areas</cmsannotation> As many as 59% of adolescent girls and 57% of women of reproductive age suffer from it, in India. It is much lower for adolescent boys and men at 31% and 25%, respectively. Bihar has the highest percentage of <keyword id="1059161" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anaemic-women" source="Orion">anaemic women</keyword> at 76%, as per National Family Health Survey (NFHS) - 5.

The condition has been declining in tribal-dominated areas like Madhya Pradesh, Dadra &amp; Nagar Haveli and Daman &amp; Diu, Nagaland, Andaman &amp; Nicobar Islands — probably due to focussed attention and interventions. Andaman and Nicobar Islands showed the biggest decline of 8%, while Himachal Pradesh also saw a similar decline. The number of pregnant women suffering from aneamia across India however went up to 52% from 50% earlier. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="India has the highest prevalence of anaemia in South Asia" comment="subhead" text="India has the highest prevalence of anaemia in South Asia">India has the highest prevalence of anaemia in South Asia</cmsannotation> Among the developing countries, India has the highest percentage of anaemia as compared to other countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh in the South Asian region. As per WHO estimates, Indian cases of the condition are much higher than the global average of 39.8% for children and 36.5% for pregnant women. However, the highest has been observed in Nigeria with 55% – and India with 52% isn’t too far behind.
