This came as a shocker to the Baroda city when a girl on social media site Facebook wrote a post for selling herself for money. The girl took this step to earn a living for her family that includes paralysed mother and injured father.
Her phone was flooded with calls after she made her statement public stating that she is doing all this to get rid of her financial crisis.
Speaking to INNLIVE, she said that it is a shameful act to sell her like this. But, she is bound to do this as she faces a financial crisis and is the only bread earner to the family. Looking on the condition of her parents, she opted for this path.

Soon after the Supreme Court asked BCCI to disqualify the IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, ICC Chairman N Srinivasan has threatened to scrap the whole tournament if his IPL team is thrown out.
Reportedly, the idea to do so clicked in Srinivasan’s mind while recalling his childhood days, when he used to get an extra chance of batting even after getting out – all because he owned the bat.
Does making employee’s get up early and have long exhausting days create the best Customer Experience on Black Friday? What about if you move it back to Thursday, Thanksgiving Day?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for retail. Most retailers make their year in this time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. It has traditionally always kicked it off on the Friday right after Thanksgiving, referred to by media and retailers alike as “Black Friday.” But this year, some major retailers are kicking it off a little early…like right in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner.
Social media feeds across the USA are sporting this meme. With a cry for solidarity from consumers across the U.S. to boycott Black Thursday, retailers have to make a choice whether to embrace or buck the trend of “Black Thursday.” I wonder, has Black Thursday officially replaced Black Friday? Are we witness to the slow death of a holiday tradition?
Times are changing. In 2012, Wal-Mart moved Black Friday discounts back across the midnight boundary, exploring the potential for Thanksgiving night shoppers. It worked, and other flagship stores followed suit, including Target and the struggling Kmart stores among others. Other retailers responded to the controversial trend by announcing they would honor their employee’s holiday and stay closed.
At a time when chicken consumption is at an all time high in India, a study by Delhi non-profit Centre for Science and Environment shows poultry meat could be churning out robust microbes that can render all antibiotics ineffective.
In 1945, after receiving the Nobel Prize for his chance discovery of miracle cure, penicillin antibiotic, Alexander Fleming issued a warning. “There is the danger that the ignorant man may easily under-dose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant,” he said. Since the discovery of penicillin, scientists have made antibiotics to cure multitudes of diseases—tuberculosis, typhoid, urinary tract infection, septicaemia, and the list goes.
The death of 14 women in Chhattisgarh following botched sterilization procedures has rightfully led to furore across the country. But a detailed, historical analysis of family planning as it has evolved, exposes an inherent and sustained gender bias in policy as well as practice.
he tragedy in a sterilisation camp in Chhattisgarh, where 14 women lost their lives post tubectomy conducted under horrific conditions, calls for a deeper look into the context. Such an exercise would reveal that this has been happening for decades ever since family planning strategies began focussing on women as targets of the government’s agenda on quantitative cutting down of population, with little or no regard to the quality of lives of the people targeted.
The Ministry of Agriculture has ordered an investigation into the three companies manufacturing foot and mouth disease vaccine.
The major outbreak of foot and mouth disease last year, that killed thousands of cattle in India’s five southern states, may have been caused by the use of substandard vaccines, says a new report.
A team of scientists from the Chaudhary Charan Singh National Institute of Animal Health in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, tested samples from 52 batches of vaccine provided to the Foot and Mouth Disease Control Programme by three companies.
