Now consider the credit demand of MSMEs in India. This credit gap (difference between formal supply and MSME demand) is estimated to be in a range of ₹20-25 trillion by the 2019 Report Of The Reserve Bank Of India Committee On MSMEs.

President Trump supports new round of direct coronavirus payments

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he supports a fresh round of government payments to individuals to help them weather the coronavirus pandemic but “it has to be done properly.”Trump also said he wants payments larger than the $1,200 the government sent to most individuals earlier this year. He did not say how big he’d like the payments to be.Trump complained about creating disincentives for people to go back to work, but appeared to be confusing the direct federal payments with a $600-per-week federal supplement for anyone collecting state unemployment benefits.The $600 federal unemployment benefit runs out at the end of July and lawmakers are deciding whether to extend it.

Bengaluru: The sharp spike in people testing positive for covid-19 has piled up challenges for authorities in Bengaluru and its contact tracing efforts.Add to this is the absence of a timeline to identify the source of infection has helped government authorities in Bengaluru steer clear of declaring the possibility of a full blown community transmission of covid-19 by resorting to convenient classifications such as ‘under investigation’ and ‘contact under tracing’.Medical experts and government officials say that there cannot be a timeline to complete this process but are confident that in at least 95% of all cases, the source of infection is another infected person or contact even though their own data does not support this claim.“It may

Bengaluru/New Delhi: The pressure on hygiene and paranoia over the spread of the coronavirus is slowly leading to a reversal of the central government’s push to phase out single-use plastic.The dependence on disposables, such as plastic cutlery, cups, containers, carry bags, and garbage bags, and greater consumption of packaged drinking water as a safety measure to avoid contracting covid-19, as well as the increasing use of packaging material for online purchases, has dampened efforts to phase out single-use plastic, in line with a call given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech in 2019.“Use of plastic is something that we have allowed in Bengaluru in view of the prevailing situation," said Bruhat Bengaluru
