Abstract: There has been a significant change in the minds of people about Ayurveda and Allopathic medicine and about its awareness among people. We can see in many households that people rely upon Ayurveda as well as Allopathic medicine and herbs, to our traditional medicine, rather than the western medicines to increase stamina and have a stronger immune system during the coronavirus outbreak. The Ayurveda system of medicine has uniqueness in treating the patients because it focuses on symptoms and root cause. In this paper, a set of dimensions are identified, which can be used to characterize and differentiate the various perspectives of the consumer towards selecting Ayurvedic products for medications This research paper aims to identify different streams of thought that could guide future consumer perceptions and taste towards Ayurveda and Allopathic systems of medicine. We students of GLS University want to measure the change in perception towards Ayurvedic medicines in 2020. Thereby we have conducted the survey and obtained responses from a sample population in the state of Gujarat, India. This research paper aims to identify different streams of thought that could guide future consumer perceptions and taste towards Ayurveda systems of medicine. For this purpose we took a survey of 220 individuals of different age groups and gender, analyzed it with different tools and methods and from the review it was found that some consumers like to consume Allopathic medicine in case of fast relief and emergency. On the other hand, consumers/patients have a positive opinion towards the Ayurvedic system of medicine due to no side effects, natural ingredients and cost effectiveness. Moreover during this pandemic of Covid - 19, Ayurvedic and Allopathic treatments and remedies worked well to build up the immune system of the individual.

Abstract: Online gaming is hugely popular with children and young people. Most games now have an online element to them allowing users to take part in leader boards, join group games or chat to others. We know that parents and careers do have questions and concerns about games, often about the type of games their child plays, who they may be speaking to and for how much time their child is playing. Parental control tools are available on PCs and consoles, and these can limit gameplay functionality, including chat. Make sure your children know how to protect their privacy by locking down privacy features. When games are played in moderation and with mindfulness, they are a viable source of stress relief as well as a catalyst for mental health improvement and development of social skills. They are engaging and immersive on a level different from that of traditional board games and other forms of entertainment.
