In the interview, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that the 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas' model can be the guiding principle for the welfare of a world shifting from a GDP-centric approach to a human-centric one. Irrespective of the size of the GDP, every voice matters, Modi told PTI in an exclusive interview conducted late last week at his Lok Kalyan Marg residence.

Aditya-L1. Few know exactly why the study of the Sun is so important for people on Earth. One major reason is the harmful impact of the Sun on Earth. Storms on the Sun and flares it emits, if they are directed towards Earth, can cause huge damage. Major objectives of Aditya-L1 include the study of the physics of solar corona and its heating mechanism, the solar wind acceleration, coupling and dynamics of the solar atmosphere, solar wind distribution and temperature anisotropy, and origin of Coronal Mass Ejections and flares and near-earth space weather. Aditya-L1 will study how storms and flares from the Sun emerge and impact us on Earth and our space activities. What happened in the Canadian province of Quebec in 1989 is an instructive case. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the American space agency, has described how disturbances on the Sun disrupted life on Earth.

International Monetary Fund warned that emerging markets must grapple with post-pandemic risks from tougher global financial conditions, the fragmentation of world trade into rival blocs and the impact of climate change. Those forces are “transforming the economic landscape and making the world more volatile and uncertain,” Gita Gopinath, the fund’s No. 2 official, said at a central banking conference in Cape Town, South Africa on Friday. Addressing those interconnected challenges will require an array of tools, she said, including more efficiently raising revenue and spending, diversifying trade, accelerating reforms to attract more investment, and implementing fiscally and socially sustainable climate strategies. Global interest rates could remain high “for quite some time” amid the fight against inflation, she said, adding that average long-term yields on emerging market dollar bonds have risen about 200 basis points — meaning their borrowing costs are higher — since the Federal Reserve began tightening policy.

Anshu Kapoor, President & Head, Nuvama Asset Management, says there are two drivers. The number one driver itself is the humongous pool of savings now available to the markets today. So, Indians save about $750 billion a year, that is Rs 60 lakh crore every year. A part of that savings obviously gets channelized into equity markets and other risky assets as we call them. But as wealth increases, demand for alternative avenues also increases and customers are asking why cannot we also access the next best unlisted companies of India? Why can’t we access commercial real estate or infrastructure assets? Emerging or evolving awareness about these products and asset classes is a big driver.”We have been seeing good flows in PMS and mutual funds from tier II, tier III cities and towns. But now we are seeing equally high interest in alternatives as well. What is driving this much more renewed awareness of investors from tier II, tier III cities and towns vis-a-vis financial assets?It is an interesting development that all of us are taking note of and I must say that the whole asset management industry is in a structural bull run.

Cartagena de Indias, a colonial port city on Colombia's Caribbean coast, can be so hypnotically hot (even with the ocean breeze and occasional tropical downpour) that visitors may feel as if they are drifting through a dream world of cobblestone lanes and Afro-Colombian drumbeats — a sensation captured by the magical realism in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Cartagena-set novels. A weekend is perfect for a robust introduction through two adjacent, walkable neighborhoods. The Old Town is still surrounded by the stone walls built by Spanish colonists, who also left behind opulent mansions and churches. Neighboring Getsemani is an artsy, semi-residential enclave with a popular street-party scene, overlooked by the 16th-century fortress that looms on a hill nearby. And if the heat does get to you, order a limonada de coco, the slushy coconut limeade that keeps coastal Colombians deliciously cool. ITINERARYFriday3 p.m. | Snack your way around Kick off a visit with a walking tour through the city's connected Old Town and Getsemani neighborhoods, the triangular heart of the city between the Caribbean Sea and San Lazaro Lagoon. Several groups offer free walking tours departing from the egg-yolk-colored main gate and clock tower, called the Puerta del Reloj, the original entrance into the walled city. For a more curated experience, Cartagena Connections adapts guided tours to visitors' interests, such as architecture, history or photography (two-hour group tours start around 123,000 Colombian pesos, or $30, per person; private tour rates vary). The popular street food tour includes stops to taste wedges of salted green mango, corn arepas filled with cheese, and mamoncillo, a local lychee-like fruit.
