As per the article, over 29L adults in Nagpur city have taken Covid jabs. If I take this number in isolation and consider it to be ~90% of the resident adult urban population in city (notional figure based on the 92.64% figure given in the article), we could estimate that ~32L adults live in the city. As per 2011 census ~29.5% of population in India was below 14 years age group. If I add 14-18 age group here as well, and assume that at least 20% of the population of Nagpur city is below 18 years of age in 2021, we could arrive at 8L people. Thus, the population of residents in Nagpur city is easily above 40L at the moment. Add to this 25-30% floating population that arrives in city for business, healthcare, marriage/ceremonial, education, etc. purposes from all parts of central India. We could confidently say that the population of the city could be kissing 50-55L. I am talking only about the city population. The district population could very well be 35-40% higher.
Why do these numbers matter? These matter because most of the economic growth in the region is not endemic and is dependent on external investments. Many large businesses tend to avoid Nagpur as the business expansion decisions taken by these businesses are usually baked in with biases of the managers who are seldom from the region and are lesser so data driven. These managers inherently have good perception for cities like Pune, Nashik, Indore, Chandigarh, etc. and majorly lack awareness on what Nagpur has to offer. Some businesses that do have managers who are aware of the Nagpur market, have indeed come to the city and are doing brisk business. For example, McD / Starbucks / Vistara are classic examples of the former, while Domino's / Indigo / Boeing / Mahindra are classic examples of the latter.
Under what circumstances did Starbucks chose to open multiple outlets in smaller towns like Indore and Chandigarh, while completely avoiding promising market like Nagpur? Another Tata initiative - Vistara - is steering off Nagpur despite of heavy demand on certain routes such as Nagpur - Bengaluru, which are not exploited enough even by Indigo which at a time was running 7 flights per day. Makes me wonder what the decision make

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
