The Urgent need for Digital Transformation of MSME Sector
One of the major takeaway from the Covid Situation is India has a chance to become the alternate manufacturing destination for the World. A Refocused and Rebooted MakeInIndia Program can help create new Product developments, build new Manufacturing/Processing capabilities, develop supporting infra-structure and can help India become a viable alternative to China.

Career Opportunities in the Field of Civil Engineering
With the impacts from Corona there are many possibilities for people in
various disciplines to lose their current jobs or not being to find a job or

Study.
I am excluding the obvious ones of a Campus Recruitment or Direct

Post Corona Startup - Safety Measures to follow for MSME's

This is a welcome move to begin with but at the same time knowing our lack of awareness or priority for Personal Safety & Safety of people around us this move can easily backfire because of few people's irresponsible behaviors.
