The scope of cybersecurity jobs in India is expanding rapidly due to increased digitization, government initiatives, and the need to protect data and infrastructure in any organization. Opportunities include roles like cybersecurity analysts, ethical hackers, and information security managers.

The idea of rural development is a parochial one in colloquial language, however, with the evolution of time and awareness among people, focused holistic rural development has come into play. In India, with more than 70 per cent of the population residing in rural communities, it is imperative to create a holistic environment with inclusive development of the communities concerning Education, Health, and Hygiene (WASH), Upskilling and empowerment, Energy, environment etc.

The advent of technological advancement, increase in population, economic activity and maximum utilization of resources has a hazardous impact on the environment. Rapid growth of population and unplanned urbanization results in acute shortage of water in Metros and surrounding areas. There is a dire need for interventions that not only help in conserving natural resources but also restore the damaged ecosystem and natural habitats.
India ranked 10th out of 11 Asia Pacific countries in a newly launched health index that measures the readiness of health systems in adopting personalized healthcare. Inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in India’s health facilities, contribute to the high neonatal mortality rate, which is currently 24 deaths per 1000 live births. Thus, it is imperative to carry out activities that provide a holistic solution to communities. The Sustainable Development Goals have committed to supporting local communities in improving water and sanitation management. HHSIF has aligned itself to sustainable development goal 6 (Clearwater and Sanitation) and is contributing to India’s attempt to achieve easy access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation and hygiene for all in the next fifteen years.
Disaster management efforts aim to reduce or avoid potential losses from hazards, assure prompt and appropriate assistance to the victims of a disaster, and achieve rapid and effective recovery. It is crucial that hospitals remain safe and functional during and after disasters. NDMA recommends Prevention, Mitigation, Capacity Building, and Preparedness as the way to deal with a disaster as it helps the community to understand how to anticipate, absorb, and adapt to such events.
The unprecedented occurrence of the COVID’19 pandemic has made the world adapt to the new normal. However, it has caused a grave impact on the lives and livelihood of the people. It has further increased informality and led to a severe decline in earnings for most workers resulting in a sudden increase in poverty. It is vital for organizations to come forward during this humanitarian crisis and ensure the timely delivery of relief efforts and critical medical resources such as vaccines, PPE kits, and medications to help people in need.
