Though the money flow is lukewarm, their spirits are high! They are hopeful to grow their small #enterprises to new heights, if the money is pumped into their businesses in the form of loans.

As we dive deep into our project with @CIICSRGateway, team @S3IDF met the manager of @IDBI_Bank to talk abt the loans & the #resilient #Entrepreneurs frm Perumbakam, who have started their #business post #COVID19, to understand the business environment, money flow & their needs!

Focussing on women's #livelihoods, transforms and builds #resilience for the entire family, the entire village, and the nation! Way to go! https://t.co/ixgWoVxpsv

@SrBachchan Sir, thank you for your #support for the cause on which we are passionately working! Manual Scavenging, the most inhuman practice, that has been forced on marginalized community needs to be addressed holistically & that is how we can correct the millennia-old wrongs!

Whilst only few know the exact details of what transpired, seems culture took strategy for breakfast. Peter Drucker anyone? #businessmanagement #banks #regulator https://t.co/JIpH29Fn69 https://t.co/lRhtERr6ep

Brilliant initiative @MoHUA_India and @swiggy_in!! Way to go! Game changer idea to recognize the potential of the urban #informal #economy! #Employment https://t.co/ksdhx8kvAb

Maybe our central #Bank needs to redefine it's governance function rather than increasingly sounding like matrimonial matchmakers!? https://t.co/pfZ0fC93E0

Gandhi Quote: You must not lose faith in #humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." Wonder if Gandhi lived today, he would have the same conviction!? #GandhiJayanti

It is time that large TV #advertisers not do superficial moral cleansing by renaming fairness creams.Time to stop advertising in tv channels that spew hatred, divide communities, indulge in character assassination.Time to boycott verbal violence!! https://t.co/w68soxIFfN

#agriculture reforms, #market reforms, #Labour reforms.... Nearly 100000 dead from #COVID19 and still counting... How about basic #Health infrastructure reforms?

Case of misplaced priorities! You can't drive 20 meters without a road being dug up in #Bangalore and they talk about #Hyperloop!! https://t.co/GCmZmW8nhe

Specifically for the Indian economy, #Investment and private consumption are biggest main engines for growth. With #COVID19 on the upswing, is there a #PlanB, other than invoking God!?

With the so called reforms in #agriculture, one thing is getting amply clear. #farmers are now pushed to think market economy! For small & marginal farmers, is collective bargaining through Farmer Producer Companies, the way out!? #AgricultureBills2020

Whilst the devil lies in the details, the latest Social Security Bill 2020 leading to the National Social Security Board is acknowledging the pain points of #gigworkers.This is a good step forward! #LabourCodeBills #LokSabha

Reforms of any kind needs open communication, high levels of trust, fulfilling engagement with key stakeholders. A good process usually leads to a good outcome. Then why are #Farmers upset? Food for thought!? #AgricultureBills2020

We, @S3IDF have in the past & in future would be happy to continue to #collaborate with @nskfdc & our grassroots partner Thamate 2 work towards rehabilitation of manual scavengers.All #stakeholders need 2 heave together to remove this millennia old stigma! https://t.co/wT9n8slGMC

My two cents on the #AgricultureReformBill The World Trade Organization sees state supported subsidies in agriculture as an hinderance to the free market #economy. Link this to the three recently passed Agriculture bills in the #LokSabha & mystery disappears! Simple !

The combination of lack of #awareness of the #gender angle who are also #informal #workers leads to a double whammy & that is a significant part of India's below the radar #population already grappling with #COVID19! #SaturdayThoughts https://t.co/RCx5bP04SB

#COVID19 and #employment!!These 2 words gave us the deep understanding of the #resilience of many gig ecomomy #workers to adapt to any situation to create #livelihood and #Jobs for them withoutany #formal aid!! https://t.co/7y0i0JxB9Q via @thewire_in

The institution responsible for bettering the lives of the people, lacks the #Data which is crucial for the schemes they have announced for the #welfare of the same people! Certainly #Covid_19 seems to be creating impossible possibles!! #Jobless #Migrants https://t.co/w59Nb9Psvv
