IMF forecast: Rahul blames BJP's hate-filled nationalism

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a jibe at the&nbsp;government over the latest&nbsp;IMF growth projections showing Bangladesh beating India in terms of per capita&nbsp;GDP.
The opposition leader said it was a 'solid achievement' of six years of BJP's 'hate-filled cultural nationalism'.
The IMF sees India's per capita GDP&nbsp;falling to $1,877 in 2020. For Bangladesh, the corresponding figure is seen growing to $1,888. If IMF's forecast hits the mark, that will leave India just ahead of Pakistan and Nepal in the South Asia region.

Covid-19 school closure may cost over $400 bn to India: World Bank

The prolonged closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic in India may cause a loss of over $400 billion in the country's future earnings, besides substantial learning losses, according to a World Bank report

According to a World Bank report the prolonged closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic in India may cause a loss of over $400 billion in the country's future earnings. The report said South Asia region stands to lose $622 billion from the school closures in the present scenario or up to $880 billion in a more pessimistic scenario.&nbsp;The report titled "Beaten or Broken? Informality and Coivid-19 in South Asia" claims that South Asia is set to plunge into its worst-ever recession in 2020 as the devastating impacts of the pandemic on the region's economies linger.
 World Bank's alarm over school closure in India World Bank on economic fallout of school closure India's may lose over $400 bn with schools closed&nbsp; World Bank pegs loses for&nbsp;South Asia at $622-880 bn&nbsp;

PTI,&nbsp;New Delhi: The prolonged closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India may cause a loss of over USD 400 billion in the country's future earnings, besides substantial learning losses, according to a World Bank report.
South Asia region stands to lose USD 622 billion from the school closures in the present scenario or up to USD 880 billion in a more pessimistic scenario, it said, adding while the regional loss is largely driven by India, all countries will lose substantial shares of their GDP.
The report titled "Beaten or Broken? Informality and COVID-19 in South Asia" claims that South Asia is set to plunge into its worst-ever recession in 2020 as the devastating impacts of COVID-19 on the region's economies linger.
"Temporary school closures in all South Asian countries have had major implications for students. They have kept 391 million students out of school in primary and secondary education, further complicating efforts to resolve the learning crisis,&rdquo; said the report.
&ldquo;While most governments have made enormous efforts to mitigate the impact of school closures, it has been difficult to engage children through remote learning initiatives," it said.
The report also noted that the pandemic may cause up to 5.5 million students to drop out from the education system and cause substantial learning losses, which will have a lifetime impact on the productivity of a generation of students.
"Most school systems closed in March, and -- though there are important exceptions -- countries are starting to reopen or have already opened their schools. Children have been out of school for approximately 5 months. Being out of school for that long means that children not only stop learning new things, they also forget some of what they have learned.
"The projected learning loss for the region is 0.5 years of learning-adjusted years of schooling (LAYS), falling from 6.5 LAYS to 6.0 LAYS, an enormous setback from recent advances in schooling," it said.
The &lsquo;Learning Adjusted Year of Schooling&rsquo; (LAYS) concept, introduced by the World Bank, seeks to combine access and learning outcomes into a single measure.
It combines quantity (years of schooling) and quality (how much kids know at a given grade level) into a single summary measure of human capital in a society.
The report has projected that based on country data on household labor incomes, the average child in South Asia may lose USD 4,400 in lifetime earnings once having entered the labour market, equivalent to 5 percent of total earnings.
"These projections are based on what we currently know about returns to schooling, using the reduced level of learning caused by the crisis. Summing these numbers for all children in South Asia, the region stands to lose USD 622 billion from the school closures in the present scenario, or up to USD 880 billion in a more pessimistic scenario.
"While the regional loss is largely driven by India, all countries will lose substantial shares of their GDP. For reference, note that South Asian governments spend only USD 400 billion per year in total on primary and secondary education. The total loss in economic output from the current closures is hence substantially higher than what countries currently spend on education," it said.
The novel corona virus has infected over 3.7 crore people across the globe claiming over 10.5 lakh lives.
India's COVID-19 caseload stands at 71.2 lakhs while the death toll is 1.09 lakh as on Monday.
Universities and schools across the country were ordered shut on March 16 to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. On March 25, the Centre announced a nationwide lockdown. While several restrictions have been eased gradually in different phases of the 'unlock' since June 8, educational institutions continue to remain closed.
However, according to the latest unlock guidelines, schools, colleges and other educational institutions outside COVID-19 containment zones can reopen after October 15. The final decision on reopening the institutions has been left with the states and Union territories.

White rice and diabetes: 21 nation study highlights risk

There may be a high risk of diabetes related to the consumption of white rice, South Asians more at risk, study observes.

There may be a high risk of diabetes linked to the consumption of white rice, a new analysis of over 1,30,000 adults from 21 countries over a span of a decade has shown. Comparing the data from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh with the rest of the world, the study stated that the risk may be more prominent for the South Asian population.&nbsp;
Led by&nbsp;Bhavadharini Balaji,&nbsp;The PURE study considered&nbsp;participants who consumed over one cup or 150 g of white rice a day. Over the course of the study, 6129 participants developed diabetes out of the 132,373 people involved.&nbsp;
It was found that the highest consumption of white rice was seen in South Asia, where people ate 630 g a day, followed by South East Asia at 239g. The study noted that a high consumption of rice meant a lower consumption of foods like wheat, fibre and dairy products. Onset of diabetes was correlated to the amount of white rice consumed.
There was a discrepancy in China however, where rice is a staple. Incidences of diabetes associated with white rice were fewer, which could be attributed to the kind of sticky rice which is consumed there.
White rice has a high glycemic index, which may lead to a high glycemic load in the diet. As milling the rice makes it lose its Vitamin B content, the authors recommended adding more legumes and pulses to the diet.
