 | As laid-off workers and nervous companies gravitate towards freelance work, the gig economy is moving from the fringes to the core. New tools and platforms are springing up to support the trend, and an appropriate policy framework too will be needed. |  |  | These videos, mostly comedy or drama genre, leave the popular comedy channels that focus on an English-speaking, urban audience far behind in subscribers. Khandeshi Movies, for example, has racked up 19.6 million subscribers with just 135 videos. | |  | The big hurdle to recovery is the surging pandemic, with cases continuing to rise in India, unlike some other countries that seem to have moved past the peak. There is also a lack of uniformity in removing restrictions among states, despite the "Unlock 4.0" guidelines by the Union home ministry stating that there shall be no restrictions on inter-state movement of people and goods. | |  | Potential employers searched from 55 towns — this was also earlier limited to larger cities. Queries came from places as diverse as Jalandhar, Jaunpur, Ajmer and Rajkot. Even factory owners signed up to search for unskilled or semi-skilled workers. While this showed that the blue-collared jobseekers in small towns were tech-savvy, the alarming trend was the widespread desperation for employment in an economy besieged by a pandemic-induced crisis. | |  | Renewable energy's share in our energy basket is rising, but coal will continue to be significant for a long time. It is important to clean it up rather than wish it away. | |  | As the pandemic and lockdowns all but decimated eating out, restaurants are bottling their signature tastes in a bid to shore up bottom lines and to keep their ties to the consumers alive. | |  | At one level, it's not hard to see why people no longer want to talk about social distancing, let alone do it — it's over five months since we entered the first lockdown and everyone's fed up to the backteeth. | |  | Though placed in a crowded space, the M31s has enough features to create space for itself. | |  | The minimalist approach and processor are pluses, but the device is heavy. | |  | While the design stands out, the operating system may have a steep learning curve. | |  | All Assam Students' Union, which once gave rise to AGP, is again set to form a regional party, igniting new possibilities and alignments ahead of the assembly polls next year. | |  | It is considered to be the only true wild horse species in the world today, is critically endangered and was recently cloned for the first time. | | |
