New Delhi [India], July 7: The Art Gestalt, a unique Market Research Report produced by the Histare Group in a strategic partnership with Silverseven analyzes the status of India’s creative sector and its relationship with the rest of the World, indicating a significant influence of enabling factors to advance approaches.

The report is aimed at encouraging and empowering all the stakeholders of the Creative Industry to create & contribute towards a sustainable model of growth, especially for the unorganised Indian market in accordance with the global standards.

In order to facilitate and understand the demand better, the report aims at decoding the buyer at both national and international levels. The team identified what factors motivate them to buy or invest in art which can be utilised by the artist/ art houses/ auction houses to curate their collection according to their strengths which appeals to the buyers.

The report further deep dives into India’s exports, a sector which is largely dominated by the handlooms and handicrafts verticals. Bangladesh and China were the biggest importers of Indian handlooms; however, the share by the most populous country in the world has seen a declining trend for the same. Histare’s team of market analysts have evaluated the hurdles faced by the Indian handicrafts and handloom producers and put forth some solutions towards giving a boost to the trade and how the advent of technology could act as a catalyst of growth.

Observing the global trends, modern and contemporary art holds its distinct position, the report has been dissected by geography, price, period, and buyers. We put forth a contrast to the Indian and Global markets in the Modern Art segment to extrapolate the future of Indian modern art.

The World has witnessed the ever involving technologies transforming various industries; the art world is no different. The team has curated lists of new media art forms and how technology is utilised with different art forms. Analysing the hurdles that have surfaced in modern times, we also proposed some potential growth opportunities with forecasted trends that will drive the vertical.

The Internet has had its impact on the perception of the industry which in return affects the value of artists as well as their work. We have seen a surge in the utilisation of social media platforms by the stakeholders to influence the purchase pattern of artworks.

His journey with keyboards after getting infected & even otherwise can inspire others fighting not just the dreaded virus’s mental health impact but also other troubles

New Delhi [India], July 2: COVID has made many face mental issues. These, combined with personal troubles, add to the chaos. But Ratik Puri is one young man from Delhi who overcame COVID-related mental health troubles & more with the help of music. And he is keen to share his story to facilitate others beat negativity. For him, music is one’s perfect partner in getting literal ‘peace of mind’.

Speaking about India’s COVID-19 situation, this IT professional voices the people’s shock at everything. “There was so much negativity associated with ‘being positive’.We were all mentally disturbed at home. The flow of myths &misinformation was huge leading to further pandemic fear.”

Ratik further adds, “I remember the day I tested positive. These scary thoughts were too much for us to handle. We just didn’t know what next. The keyboard is the only thing that kept me going. Fortunately, my family understood & supported my musical passion.”

He has been playing the keyboard since the age of 10. Ratik, who also works as a Software engineer professional at Optum thinks music is the best rejuvenating therapy.

Sharing his experience during COVID, Ratik, mentioned, “When my family and I were home isolated due to COVID, we were all stuck in our rooms. That’s when music came to my help. I used to play the keyboard every day in the evening and the whole family enjoyed it from their respective room. Being isolated is not a great feeling. Emotional upheavals, health issues & loneliness can have negative effects on one’s mind. Getting out of it was possible only because of music, keyboard to be particular. Plus it helped my family stay calm & happy too in their respective rooms. A very famous quote left a footprint on my mind which is Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you’re listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.”

Ratik is keen to share his musical experience so as to help others deal with similar ordeals. “Music has helped me gain confidence by performing in front of crowds, along with expressing myself. It has helped me in becoming a calmer person by absorbing all my stress. It has also helped me to share who I am with the world.”

Ed Sheeran’s Photograph is his favourite. “I can still recall my first college performance and cherish those memories every day. That’s my motivation. Music holds everyone together and that’s what gives me the zeal to continue playing keyboard.” Most would be aware of research that states music helps ease anxiety, blood pressure, and other such health worries, along with providing good sleep, mood, alertness & memory.

With talks floating about ways to deal with COVID’s impact on physical & mental health, Ratik Puri’s musical experience can be inspiring and needs to be shared.

Awareness is the key to defeat COVID-19

New Delhi [India], June 29: As India is recording daily huge drops in the number of active cases; the fear of the third wave is still inevitable. It is a noble idea to get the whole country vaccinated as soon as possible and secure the whole nation against unprecedented circumstances.

Following a surge in infections that killed hundreds of thousands, NGO groups are spreading the word about receiving COVID-19 shots to India’s poor and old, and transporting some to vaccination centers in rickshaws and cabs.

The Gunjan Foundation, which provides free education and humanitarian work to underprivileged and orphaned children, has concentrated its efforts on poorer neighborhoods, where many people lack even basic knowledge about immunizations, according to the organization.

“We found out that a whole lot of people above 60 weren’t even aware that they could vaccinate and protect themselves. To promote awareness we have been sharing links related to vaccination drive through our social media so they know how and where to get vaccinated,” Founder and MD, Gunjan Foundation, Sushma Singhvi said.

“The Central government has begun the free vaccination for all campaign for every Indian and I believe the biggest beneficiary of this phase of India’s vaccination drive shall be the poor, the middle class, and the youth of the country. I request every citizen of India to get vaccinated. Together we will defeat Covid-19. We have been counselling parents of the children of our school to get the vaccination; we are in talks with the local RWA and plan to let them use our school premises as a Vaccination Centre. We have ensured that our personal and official staff faces no difficulty in getting their jabs,” she added further.

Moreover, prominent celebrities and influencers in the entertainment and sports industries, including singers and athletes, have already received their first corona vaccination shots. Sawan Karan Giri, a singer from Bihar, received his first dose of the vaccine and shared photos from the vaccination centre with his admirers, urging them to be vaccinated as well. Despite the fact that his account was hacked and he had to deal with the consequences, he believes that all public figures may use social media to steer their particular communities in the path towards vaccination. Karan has millions of fans on social media, and he is spreading the word about the need of being vaccinated and staying protected from the deadly coronavirus. @sawankarangiriofficial is Karan’s new Facebook page.

Karan’s most common form of community participation is organising vaccination awareness camps, as well as visiting vaccination centres to motivate and thank people for choosing to be vaccinated. Other celebrities too are teaming up with non-profit organisations to help COVID19 patients and cure them, with a focus on those who are hesitant to obtain the vaccine. A door-to-door COVID-19 vaccination campaign is not practicable, according to the government, due to the risk of contamination and wastage. As a result, it plays an essential part to use social media to encourage people to be vaccinated.

New Delhi [India], June 23: In today’s world, India has faced many calamities, one such is COVID19, and the pandemic has ravaged the nation. Addressing the issues and taking them through the proper channel is the key. Numerous problems in society are unheard of and need a voice or medium to be heard.

Here, a man with a mission, Jeevan Kumar Mittal is changing the perception about problem-solving. He has been doing this for more than a decade and addressing letters to the Honourable President of India.

He says “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.”

In a pandemic-driven world, where everything seems bleak, there rises a hope from the setting horizon, a person who has vowed to relentlessly work for the upliftment of society. To bring awareness and spread light in the flickering hope and trust of the people of the nation.

Maternity Benefits to the Working Women

Maternity benefit is the key problem in today’s India. We have seen that this creates an impact in the families of many working and middle class.

Mr. Jeevan Kumar Mittal’s contribution to maternity benefits is immense. This eminent accomplishment is the implementation extension of maternity benefit for working ladies from 90 days to 6 months, after the suggestion made by him.

The need of the hour is to stand for righteousness and give words to the suppressed society, to enable them to fight for their cause. Looking around one may find people struggling to get justice and to voice their opinions. We need a society where social issues are discussed and solved without any oppression or fear of thought.

PENNING DOWN MORE THAN 5000 LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENT

With the thought of bringing about a change and abiding by the saying, “pen is mightier than the sword”, he has written over 5000 letters to the President in the past nine years. Each letter has addressed a different issue, focusing on the different areas of improvement, and eradicating the flaws from the very roots.

How social media is impacting the decision-making power of Indian citizens?

In today’s world where everything has gone online, social media has a responsibility towards the people of the nation. It has the power to make the unseen visible, the unsaid words heard, the invisible pain and suffering being felt. That is the power of the media.

Every citizen has a responsibility to create awareness around him. Social media platforms have the power to give this responsibility a voice. Their contribution could be a milestone in bringing about a change. Highlighting the social issues and bringing them to the limelight can help people voice their opinions and bring about a concerted change in society.

Regarding, Mr. Mittal is also the publisher of Four Square Monthly newspaper and has written numerous articles on our Constitution. It is his credibility towards the nation that has helped him to go out of his way to bring about consciousness. His articles have such an essence that they have been published in the renowned Navbharat Times as well.

A regular visitor to Parliament House close to Rashtrapati Bhawan for causes that he wants to highlight, Mr. Mittal thinks the distance is walkable, as distance and time are not a problem when the vision is big and goals are high. After all, with such a lively spirit and empowered soul, one can walk a thousand miles towards progress, without worrying about what has been left behind.
