 | The sharing and renting economy appears to be steadily growing among millennials averse to acquiring assets. |  |  | India's economy and businesses are facing many measurable, well-understood challenges. But an invisible crisis that is just as corrosive and harder to fix is underway: the erosion of trust. This is playing out at multiple levels. | |  | Haier, the world's biggest home appliance maker, has been outrun in India by South Korean giants. Samsung and LG together command more than 50% of the Indian market. It is at fifth position as of April 2019 (according to Indian Brand Equity Foundation), and may get to the fourth spot by December 2019, behind Samsung, LG and Whirlpool. | |  | Of the recent high-profile SC judgments, the one that got the least media attention was the most far-reaching. | |  | Indian highways are switching to mandatory electronic toll collection from December 1, in pursuit of a faster and seamless driving experience | |  | Food ministry is moving towards making ration cards portable to help migrant workers. But the scheme hinges on operational point-of-sale devices and their last-mile reach. At these fair price shops, numbering nearly 5.35 lakh across India, 23 crore ration card holders can every month buy up to 5 kg of rice at Rs 3/kg, wheat at Rs 2/kg and coarse grains at Rs 1/kg. | |  | In 2014 LS polls, the shocker for the TMC , was that the BJP did not even have a major presence in West Bengal until then, even though its origins have a Bengali connect: Syama Prasad Mookerjee had founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the predecessor to the BJP. Now that the state will vote in by-polls to three Assembly seats, TMC has shifted its strategy to reclaim lost ground. | |  | These initiatives include Bigyan, an online platform with articles by scientists in Bengali; The Jigyasa Project, a series of talks on science in Tamil, Kannada and Hindi, organised by the Bangalore Life Sciences Cluster in association with Mandram and Sea of Science, a podcast series with episodes in six languages. | |  | West Bengal BJP chief said that Mamata's 'Didi Ke Bolo' program is an eyewash. He further added that neither Bengal CM's MLAs nor she is accessible to the public. There is so much corruption. Wherever they go, people hound them, holding them by their collars and asking them to return the 'cut money'. TMC leaders even took 'cut money' for PM Awas Yojana. | |  | Ravi Kant, secretary, food & public distribution said that the purpose of one nation, one ration card scheme is to ensure nationwide portability in distribution of subsidised foodgrain to beneficiaries [under the National Food Security Act] without the need for them to get a new ration card. This will provide benefit to migrant workers, labourers and daily wagers. | |  | There is a loosening up of ties when it comes to formal dress code at the workplace. | |  | "It is true that in recessionary times, people save on shopping and travel but spend on movies. We see that happening. With Rs 200 as average ticket price (ATP), we offer three hours of escapism that is still affordable. But it is also because of good content — Indian content makers have got their act together," says the chairman of PVR Ltd. | |  | Principal Scientific Adviser K VijayRaghavan has been a vocal champion of studying science and communicating it in regional languages. Your own language roots you to your society and environment and allows you to use your imagination in a manner that a second language does not, he said. | |  | The world could go gaga over European and American butter, but India has a long, delicious tradition of makhan and ghee | |  | The regular and mini screens help you multitask in this power-packed, but pricey laptop. | |  | The smartphone manages to deliver strong performance on long gaming sessions. | | |
