How Heat waves are impacting the GDP of Bharat ( India)

अशक्यं प्रकृतेः ऋते जीवनम्। 

There is no life without nature

Wandering here and there in the scorching heat,

Humans still managed to get near fan or AC seat,,

Animals are burning without any fault,

Humans turned nature's growth to a halt,,

Over usage and no control over wastage,

Be ready to survive the mother nature rage,,

Heat waves means a period of unusually hot weatherwhen temperature rises 5 degrees above the normal temperature. 

Indian cities have heat waves in fashion, our cities are more warmer than many gulf and African nations, yet sadly public consider AC is the solution to such hot temperature but AC is not the actual solution, even using AC is biggest menance for making environment more warmer as it runs by electricity and this electricity is generated by using coal or thermal power plants. Thus releasing maximum of green house gases to the environment. Recent data reveals that in our country, 24 houses out of 100 houses have AC, while in USA 85/100 houses have AC and in China almost every house has AC. Fortunately, some percentage of the public is privileged to use the AC whereas maximum population is running behind earning two times meal, they can't afford even shelter, but luckily gets water. Stray animals or cattles, acquatic animals, animals living at poles are affecting even worse, and dyeing at very severe rate and getting under the category of the extinct of endangered species. 

How badly are heat waves affecting the economy of our nation - 

The scorching heat waves in India may seem like a boon for some sectors, but the harsh reality is that it has an overall negative impact on the economy. Reports suggest that a 1℃ rise in temperature could cause India's growth rate to decline by a whopping 1-2%.

1. Extreme Peak hours  - small vendors and shopkeepers of unorganised sector expects their highest sale in the day time but because of heat waves their customer and they are forced to stay inside their shelters. This economic stumbling block the financial flow and thus hamper the economic activities of the nation. 

2. Illness, Diseases, Ailments - workmen, employee are more prone for health issues and promotes diseases, illness and this certainly decreases the efficacy of an individual. Transportation, construction workmen and services are more vulnerable to heat waves and delay in such services are affecting the economic performance of the nation very adversely. 

3. Price rise of horticulture products like vegetables, fruits - Agriculture, Horticulture affects to much higher level, crop failures because of high temperature results in price rise thus widening the gap between demand and supply of such products. Causing decline in such services and activities leading to decrease in agriculture economic prosperity. 

4. Extravagant expenses - budget of families deviates as heat waves calls for extra expenditures on the items that helps in surviving such heat waves, which kills the scope of financial inflow and outflow as funds have been allocated to the things that are not contributing much to the effectiveness like AC, generators, invertors and these things are contributing more to the carbon footprints and much less to the economy.

5. Tourism - none will be attracted to visit our nation if heat waves continue to prevail over normal temperature. Tourism is an important economic activity and increase in temperature halts the tourism industry to major extent.

How Happiness Index is related with Heat Waves? 

Environment plays an important role in raising or decreasing the happy hormones. Our eyes 👀 are more fascinating towards the green vegetation, mountains, clean beaches. Brain senses the calmness and cool breeze to secret positive harmones. European nations like Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, are the top ranking happiest nations as they are preserving their environment and intense winters in a best conservative manner i.e. more centric on renewable energy. Bhutan, an magnificent example of being low income nation with zero carbon emissions and titled as a nation with happy population. India is ranking at 126 position among 146 nations at the happiness Index report, need to be more centric towards this sector too as development on the cost of stress, depression and mental tensions are not much appreciable.

There are lot to learn from West and alot to unlearn - Western nations are tropical winter nations there maximum temperature reaches to 29-30 degrees C. So, skyscrapers made up of glasses are best suited for such countries why to replicate such glass buildings in our nation where temperature rises to 40 degrees C as such glasses reflects sun rays ☀️ causing more heat and warmth to the public working outside the buildings specifically. 

Conclusion - Hope to block severe heat waves lies with trees plantation only. Philipines, a country running tree plantation drive rigorously and contributing to a great cause. Our ancestors always emphasized to respect and worship mother nature. Isha upanishads has mentioned one shloka that states an individual, to pay off the debt of mother nature ought to plant 1 peepal, 1 imbli, 2 mangoes tree, 3 ambla trees at least.
