Work From Home: Pros & Cons
◆Due to COVID-19 pandemic, many companies allowed their employees to work from home (WFH). Some employees are happy with WFH option, but some are not comfortable with it. There are pros & cons with WFH option for both employees and companies.
Advantages for Employees:
●Travel time to and from the office will be saved.
●They can spend more time with family. This is beneficial for many especially for parents of young children.
●Even in modern times, women are expected to take care of home and children. With this responsibility, several women are forced to leave their jobs. The rise in WFH culture is a boon for them. With this more women can join in jobs again.
●The location will not be a barrier. Employees can get a job, even if the office is located in another city.
●If they want to get to know their office and colleagues better, they can attend the office at regular intervals like once a week.
Disadvantages for Employees:
◆The line between work and home will be blurred. In general, employees leave work tensions at office and come home to relax. But this opportunity will be lost and it may cause anxiety. If work and personal life are not balanced well, work will extend to longer hours. This can create WFH burnout.
◆Employees have to set up a work environment at home, which will incurred extra expense. Even then, some people may not focus on work due to the lack of a professional atmosphere.
◆Some companies are giving so much work just because their employees are working from home.
◆Teamwork is a bit difficult while working from home.
◆Working from home from a long periods of time can hamper social and interpersonal skills.
◆Continuously staying at home may make some people feel isolated.
◆For some people, setting up office space at home may not be an option due to lack of extra space in the home.
◆Some jobs may require employees to be online during work hours and the continuous power supply may not be available to many.
◆It can be difficult to establish connections with new colleagues because the opportunity to meet and talk with them during coffee breaks will be lost.
Advantages for Companies:
●Less expense for office maintenance.
●Can hire talented people, even if they reside in another city.
●Employees may not ask for much leaves.
Disadvantages for Companies:
●Training new staff can be tough with all the employees working from home.
●Have to deal with WFH specific challenges like information security and hacking of video calls etc.
●It’s difficult to monitor work from home employees.
●It’s hard to establish connections among employees.
Conclusion:
Even though work from home culture is on the rise due to COVID-19 situation, work from home opportunities will increase in number to adapt to the changing times. With time, companies and employees will take steps to reduce the disadvantages.

1947 Tripartite Agreement on Gurkha Soldiers
Why in News-Recently, the Nepal’s Foreign Minister has said that the 1947 Tripartite Agreement between India, Nepal and the United Kingdom (that deals with the military service of Gurkha soldiers from Nepal) has become redundant.
◆He also said that Nepal would prefer to handle the matter bilaterally with India and the United Kingdom.
The Tripartite Agreement:
●In 1947, when India became independent, it was decided to split Gurkha regiments between the British and Indian armies.
●From the first quarter of the 19th century, Gurkhas had served under the British, first in the armies of the East India Company, and then the British Indian Army.
●East India Company first recruited Gurkhas after suffering heavy casualties during the Anglo-Nepalese War also known as the Gurkha War. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816.
●It ensured that Gurkhas in British and Indian service would enjoy broadly the same conditions of service as that of British and Indian citizens.
●The services include all perks, remuneration, facilities and pension schemes etc.
●Gorkha recruitment was the first window that was opened to Nepali youth to go abroad.
Issues Involved:
◆The objection from Nepal regarding the Gurkhas serving in the Indian military has become prominent in the backdrop of Nepal-India territorial dispute over the Kalapani region of Pithoragarh district that Nepal claims as its own.
◆Nepal has responded by publishing a new map that included the disputed territories of Kalapani region.
◆The issue became a talking point after Indian Army Chief remarked that Nepal’s strong protest against Indian road construction in the Limpiadora-Kalapani-Lipulekh area was at the behest of a third party (China).
◆The Napelese people believe that Indian Army Chief, who is granted the honorary post of a General in the Nepal Army has hurt the sentiments of the Nepali Gurkha Army personnel who lay down their lives to protect India.
◆Also the Gurkha veterans have been alleging that the United Kingdom has been discriminating against them in terms of pay, pension and other facilities.
◆The British government started providing equal pay and pension to Gurkhas in 2007.

Operation Breathing Space:India-Israel
Why in News-Recently, an Israeli team arrived in India with a multi-pronged mission, codenamed Operation Breathing Space to work with Indian authorities on the Covid-19.
Development of Test Kits:
◆India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Israel’s defence ministry research and development team are working together to develop four different kinds of rapid testing kit for Covid-19 which can give the result within 30 seconds.
Types of Tests:
●The tests include an audio test, a breath test, thermal testing, and a polyamino test which.
●In the audio test, a patient’s voice would be recorded and evaluated through artificial intelligence and machine learning.
●In the breath test the patient will blow into a tube that will detect the virus using terra-hertz (high frequency) waves.
●Thermal testing will enable identification of the virus in a saliva sample.
●Polyamino acids test seeks to isolate proteins related to Covid-19.
India Specific Approach:
◆The kits will be jointly developed after trials on Indian Covid-19 patients. The tests have already been tried on a small sample of Israeli patients.
Other Assistance:
◆The Israeli team has brought robotic equipment, and wrist monitors that will help doctors and nurses monitor a patient without increasing risks of infection to themselves.
◆The team has also brought 83 advanced respirators to help patients with severe symptoms.
Benefits:
●The success of rapid tests will help India’s overworked health-care professionals, who are experiencing fatigue. It will also help to address the public impatience over the Covid-19 test.
●The quicker test will help authorities to take quicker prevention measures, which will reduce the spread of the virus among people.
Way Forward
●As a vaccine or a cure is not yet visible and the country is gradually moving towards unlocking, it is time the testing should be made available on demand as close to home as possible.
●With most cases turning out to be asymptomatic, wider and cheaper availability of testing must be a thrust area for the government now. Easy, early diagnosis of infections, even when asymptomatic, will go a long way in containment. The concerns regarding increased dependence on rapid antigen tests in some places must also be addressed.
●Further, the proclivity shown by some States and cities to conceal data has been self defeating. There must be efforts to harvest accurate data, and with ease of availability. Normalcy, albeit a new one, could be reached faster with the right efforts.
