New Delhi: A Finance Ministry report on Saturday underlined the need for deft management of stocks of agriculture commodities in view of lower crop-sowing for the Kharif Season, stressing there should be no room for complacency on the inflation front. Overall, inflation ary pressures in India appear to be on a decline with a pre-emptive set of administrative measures by the govern ment, agile monetary policy and easing of international commodity prices and supply-chain bottlenecks, according to the monthly Economic Review released by the Finance Ministry. However, it said, there is no “room for complacency on the inflation front as lower cropsowing for the Kharif season calls for deft management of stocks of agricul tural commodities and market prices without unduly jeopardising farm exports.” India’s rice production could fall by 10-12 million tonnes during the Kharif season this year due to a fall in paddy sowing area, Food Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey had said earlier this month. The Kharif season contributes about 80% of India’s total rice production.

here was a time in Indian history when the washing of feet had great cultural and ritu alistic signifi cance. Washing the feet of a deity was an integral part of the prepa ration for worship. It was also an act of honour to anoint a person’s feet. Even on an individual lev el, one was expected to wash their feet before en tering a temple or their own home. There was a belief that evil spirits and negative energy would fol low you into the house if your feet had not been washed. In reality, it was probably just a belief put in place to limit the germs entering the house. Either way, our Vedic sages were not wrong about the im portance of foot care. But some of these practices did not translate into our 21st-century modern living.Our feet are our ‘Kar mendriya’, action organs or faithful servants that are often neglected and for gotten about until a prob lem arises. Our feet are important not only be cause they are our modes of mobility but also be cause they are connected by subtle energy channels to all our body organs, in cluding the brain. Foot re flexology, the centuries-old practice of applying pres sure on these meridian points, is believed to have several benefits that in clude reducing stress, aid ing digestion and improv ing sleep quality. Ayurveda believes that when feet are tired, so is the mind and when feet are healthy and beautiful it is the founda tion of physical grace and stamina.Ayurveda says it is very important to remember to keep your feet clean but never suppress foot perspi ration; suppressing perspi ration can cause damage to internal organs. It also emphasizes the impor tance of keeping one's feet comfortable and allowing the soles proper air and ventilation. To take a de
