Arthotsav's final day was marked by smiles, laughter, and tears of joy. Day 3 of Arthotsav started with zealous preparations for the first event. Eagerness was thick in the air as all volunteers, head of departments and even the teachers were excited to welcome our chief guest, Mr. Himanshu Mishra. Mr. Himanshu Mishra, Vice President of Finopaytech graced our event with his presence as the chief guest and judge for today's event. The event DeMon , as the name suggests, was based on the recent Demonitisation scheme. The first round of this event was a game of Charades where each team member was given 10 words to describe in a time span of four minutes. Whispers of word guesses like digitisation, radiator, debentures and sweep account etc., were heard. Five out of nine teams made it to round two. Round two was a case study round where the participants' imagination and application of their knowledge of economics was tested in a fun and interactive way. Our judge

Honey Revolution, maybe?

On 10th December, 2016 PM Mr. Narendra Modi  said, “After  milk revolution it’s time for honey revolution” while giving speech in Gujarat.So, now let’s get some information about what is Honey Revolution and how Honey Production (Bee Keeping) help the farmers. History                  Apiculture (from Latin : Apis “Bee”) is the maintenance of honey bee colonies, commonly in hives by humans in order to collect their honey and other products. Depiction of humans collecting honey from wild bees dates back to 15,000 years ago.

One of the BJP-led NDA government’s glorious campaign is Make In India . " Make in India"  is a lion's step, the logo is a silhouette of a lion on a prowl made entirely of cogs symbolizing  India’s  manufacturing strength and national pride.There are some goals which seem achievable to me and some I think are merely fantasy.The aim of Make In India is to create demand and then incentivise producers to meet the demand.This according to the Make In India campaign consists of 4 broad measures: 1. Cheaper costs of production and movement of goods – Raw materials have to make their way into the factory and finished goods have to move out. In the middle of this the processing of materials into goods would take water, electricity, real estate, clinics and hospitals to support this facility.

  In early December, 2016, Amazon took the wraps off Amazon Go, a real-world grocery store that comes with a twist: there’s no checkout process. You just grab the stuff you want and walk out; the order posts to your Amazon account afterwards. There are no cashiers, no lines, no fumbling for a credit card. “ Four years ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go and Just Walk Out Shopping. ” – Amazon Amazon posted this video on YouTube, and it outlines what Amazon Go is all about. The video now has over 7.7 million views. Have I piqued your interest yet? So, how did Amazon Go start and how does it work? In 2013 and 2014 Amazon filed two patents that described most of the technology that the Amazon Go store is depicted to
