  43. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Government Blocks 25 OTT Platforms over Obscene Content</h2>
  44. <p>On <strong>25 July 2025</strong>, the Indian government directed Internet Service Providers to block access to at least <strong>25 OTT platforms</strong> for allegedly streaming “obscene, vulgar and, in some cases, pornographic” content. Notable names on the list include <strong>ULLU, ALT Balaji (ALTT), Desiflix, Big Shots App, Boomex, Navarasa Lite, MoodX</strong>, and others.</p>
  45. <h3>Legal Framework &amp; Government Action</h3>
  46. <ul>
  47. <li>The move was implemented under the <strong>Information Technology Act 2000</strong> and the <strong>IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021</strong>.</li>
  48. <li>Action coordinated by the <strong>Ministry of Information &amp; Broadcasting</strong> along with MeitY, MHA, DoLA, FICCI, CII, and experts in women and child rights.</li>
  49. <li>The platforms were first warned in September 2024 and issued advisories earlier in 2025, but continued violations prompted the move.</li>
  50. </ul>
  51. <h3>Nature of Content Violations</h3>
  52. <p>The blocked platforms were found hosting content primarily lacking storyline or context, filled with sexual innuendos, nudity, extended sexually explicit scenes, and occasionally scenarios involving sensitive or family dynamics. Authorities labelled many of these as “soft porn” disguised as erotic web series.</p>
  53. <h2>Why This Crackdown Matters</h2>
  54. <ul>
  55. <li>It reflects the government’s tightening grip on content that violates statutory norms and moral decency.</li>
  56. <li>The crackdown reinforces the principle that platforms must self-regulate under the Code of Ethics mandated by the IT Rules.</li>
  57. <li>It aims to protect minors by curbing access to adult content easily available online.</li>
  58. </ul>
  59. <h3>The Road So Far</h3>
  60. <ul>
  61. <li>In March 2024, 18 platforms were previously blocked for similar reasons.</li>
  62. <li>Some platforms attempted to continue operations by shifting to new domains; these were included in the latest ban.</li>
  63. </ul>
  64. <h2>Legal &amp; Regulatory Context</h2>
  65. <p>Under Indian law—including Sections 67 and 67B of the IT Act and relevant Pakistan Obscenity laws—publishing or transmitting obscene content online is a punishable offence, especially if minors are involved. These rules also reinforce obligations on intermediaries to block such content.</p>
  66. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  67. <p>This decisive move underscores India’s increasingly stringent approach to regulating digital content. The government’s latest action sends a clear message: OTT platforms must adhere strictly to legal and moral standards or face censorship measures. The focus remains on safeguarding societal values and protecting vulnerable groups from inappropriate content online.</p>

  389. <p>INS Tamal received a formal welcome in St. Petersburg involving representatives from the city government, officials of the <strong>Russian Federation Navy</strong>, and a ceremonial band. The occasion coincided with the Russian Navy Day celebrations.</p>
  390. <h3>Significance of the Visit</h3>
  391. <ul>
  392. <li>This marks the first overseas port call for INS Tamal, symbolizing deep Indo-Russian naval cooperation.</li>
  393. <li>The ship is the <strong>second of the Tushil-class</strong> frigates (Project 11356.6), and the <strong>last foreign-built vessel</strong> to be inducted into India’s Navy.</li>
  394. </ul>

  630. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Unnati Hooda Dethrones Sindhu in Round of 16 Clash</h2>
  631. <p>In what could be remembered as the dawn of a new era in Indian badminton, <strong>17-year-old Unnati Hooda</strong> delivered the performance of her career, defeating <strong>two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu</strong> in the Round of 16 at the <strong>China Open Super 1000</strong> tournament in Changzhou.</p>
  632. <h3>Match Summary: Hooda vs Sindhu</h3>
  633. <ul>
  634. <li><strong>Final Score:</strong> 21-16, 19-21, 21-13</li>
  635. <li><strong>Duration:</strong> Over 60 minutes of high-intensity play</li>
  636. <li><strong>Location:</strong> Changzhou, China – BWF Super 1000 Series</li>
  637. </ul>
  638. <p>Hooda showcased nerves of steel and fierce net control, overpowering Sindhu in the opening game. Though Sindhu clawed her way back in the second, Hooda maintained composure to dominate the decider. The win places her firmly in the quarter-finals — the youngest Indian woman to achieve this feat at a Super 1000 event.</p>
  639. <h2>Quote of the Day</h2>
  640. <p><em>&#8220;This is definitely the biggest win of my career. I played point by point and stayed aggressive,&#8221;</em> said Hooda after the match.</p>
  641. <h2>Why This Win Is Historic</h2>
  642. <ul>
  643. <li>Marks Sindhu’s <strong>first international loss to an Indian player</strong> since 2018.</li>
  644. <li>Signals a potential generational shift in India’s women’s singles landscape.</li>
  645. <li>Establishes Hooda as a future contender in world badminton.</li>
  646. </ul>
  647. <h3>Sindhu’s Journey Ends Early</h3>
  648. <p>After beating Japan’s Tomoka Miyazaki in the first round, Sindhu looked poised for a deep run. However, unforced errors and lack of rhythm in the decider cost her dearly. As she regroups, questions loom about her future dominance amid rising young talent.</p>
  649. <h2>What&#8217;s Next for Hooda?</h2>
  650. <p>With this morale-boosting win, Hooda heads into the quarter-finals with momentum. The badminton community now watches closely to see if the prodigy can extend her fairy-tale run further in Changzhou.</p>
  651. <h3>The Road Ahead at China Open 2025</h3>
  652. <ul>
  653. <li>Next Match: Hooda to face a top-seeded Asian rival in the quarters</li>
  654. <li>Other Indians in action: Satwik-Chirag continue their doubles dominance</li>
  655. <li>Global stars like An Se-young and Wang Zhiyi have advanced smoothly</li>
  656. </ul>
  657. <p>As Indian badminton experiences a changing of the guard, this match will be remembered as the day a 17-year-old lit the torch for the next generation.</p>

  680. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>New Economic Chapter Begins with India–UK CETA Signing</h2>
  681. <p>On July 24, 2025, India and the United Kingdom signed the <strong>Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)</strong>, marking a pivotal moment in their economic partnership. The agreement was formalised by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Secretary of State Jonathan Reynolds, in the presence of Prime Ministers Modi and Starmer, cementing a shared vision of inclusive growth and opportunity.</p>
  682. <h3>Tariff Eliminations &amp; Market Access</h3>
  683. <p>CETA removes duties on <strong>99% of Indian export items,</strong> including textiles, leather, gems, and agricultural products such as mangoes and spices, while the UK agreed to phased tariff reductions on key exports like whisky, gin, cars, cosmetics, and food items. This creates a vast new market for Indian producers.</p>
  684. <h3>Inclusive Benefits for All</h3>
  685. <p>This agreement extends beyond trade, offering direct benefits to <strong>farmers, fisherfolk, tribal communities, women entrepreneurs, youth, MSMEs, and professionals</strong>. Improvements include better market access, digital trade facilitation, value chain integration, and skill development.</p>
  686. <h3>Services, Mobility &amp; Social Security</h3>
  687. <p>CETA includes broad commitments for the <strong>services sector</strong>, easing access in IT/ITeS, finance, professional services, education, and telecom. It also introduces streamlined mobility options for yoga instructors, chefs, musicians, architects, and engineers. A notable provision is the <strong>Double Contribution Convention</strong>, which exempts Indian professionals and their employers from UK social security contributions for up to three years.</p>
  688. <h3>Creating Jobs &amp; Driving Growth</h3>
  689. <p>Economic forecasts estimate that bilateral trade could grow by £25.5 billion (~USD 34 billion) by 2040, with the UK economy gaining approximately £4.8 billion annually. The deal aims to stimulate job creation, particularly in manufacturing, agriculture, digital services, and MSMEs, while reinforcing India&#8217;s Viksit Bharat vision.</p>
  690. <h3>Strategic Pathway Ahead</h3>
  691. <p>CETA also establishes a new strategic partnership on climate, security, defence, and innovation. Remaining steps include parliamentary approval in both countries before the agreement comes into force, expected by mid-2026.</p>
  692. <p>This landmark treaty marks a historic step forward, laying a foundation for equitable trade, talent mobility, and economic upliftment across communities in both nations.</p>

  748. <h2>India and the UK Sign Historic Free Trade Deal and Launch Vision 2035 Strategic Partnership</h2>
  749. <p>On July 24, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in London. The deal—India’s first major pact with a European nation and the UK’s most significant post‑Brexit trade agreement—sets a bold agenda for the Indo-British economic relationship.</p>
  750. <h3>Trade Gains and Economic Impact</h3>
  751. <p>The FTA grants **99 % duty‑free access** for Indian exports to the UK, targeting textile, leather, gems, and pharma sectors, while the UK secures reduced tariffs on around **90 % of its exports**, including whisky, gin, cars, cosmetics, and medical devices. Projected to boost bilateral trade by **£25.5 billion annually** and increase UK GDP by **£4.8 billion**, the agreement also opens new employment, investment, and market opportunities on both sides.</p>
  752. <h3>Services, Mobility, and Social Security</h3>
  753. <p>By allowing enhanced access for Indian professionals—chefs, yoga instructors, musicians, engineers—the pact helps ease mobility while a social security agreement prevents double deductions for short‑term workers.</p>
  754. <h3>Vision 2035: Beyond Trade</h3>
  755. <p>Alongside the FTA, the two leaders launched **UK–India Vision 2035**, a renewed Comprehensive Strategic Partnership focusing on defence, climate action, education, technology, and border security. Highlights include a Defence Industrial Roadmap and cooperation in innovation and skills development.</p>
  756. <h3>Next Steps &amp; Ratification</h3>
  757. <p>The agreement was signed by PM Modi and PM Starmer in London. However, formal implementation is contingent on parliamentary approval in both countries, expected by mid‑2026.</p>
  758. <p>This strategic deal reinforces India’s &#8220;Make in India&#8221; ambition and marks a new era in Indo-British relations, anchored by economic growth, shared innovation, and strong civic ties.</p>

  780. <h2>India’s IT Sector Expected to Grow a Modest 0–2 % in FY26</h2>
  781. <p>India’s information technology services sector is projected to experience flat to slight growth in FY26. According to a recent report by <strong>CareEdge Ratings</strong>, constant‑currency revenue growth is expected to hover between <strong>0–2 %</strong>, effectively translating to a nominal revenue rise of <strong>3–5 %</strong> year-on-year.</p>
  782. <h3>Muted Demand and Deal-Making Challenges</h3>
  783. <p>The sector faces headwinds, including macroeconomic uncertainty, client delays in discretionary spending, and global geopolitical tensions impacting business decisions. However, the pipeline of upcoming deals and digital transformation initiatives—especially in AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and analytics—is expected to provide some offset.</p>
  784. <h3>Industry Guidance and Peer Forecasts</h3>
  785. <p>Top-tier IT firms are likely to issue cautious revenue guidance in the <strong>2–5 % constant-currency</strong> range, echoing brokerage expectations from Motilal Oswal. This aligns with similar predictions from agencies like ICRA, which estimate a modest <strong>2–3 %</strong> growth for the sector.</p>
  786. <h3>Strategic Investment in Future Tech</h3>
  787. <p>Despite a soft Near-term outlook, companies are accelerating investments in generative AI, cloud infrastructure, ER&amp;D, and ESG tech. Persistent cost controls and consolidation among global clients are expected to shape demand in background of slower discretionary budgets.</p>
  788. <h3>Outlook &amp; Implications</h3>
  789. <ul>
  790. <li><strong>Nominal growth:</strong> 3–5 % projected FY26 revenue increase</li>
  791. <li><strong>Constant currency growth:</strong> Flat to low-single digits (0–2 %)</li>
  792. <li><strong>Drivers:</strong> Deal wins, digital transformation, AI adoption</li>
  793. <li><strong>Risks:</strong> US/eurozone macro volatility, discretionary spending delays</li>
  794. </ul>
  795. <p>This cautious outlook reflects both cyclical pressures and strategic investments, suggesting resilience but limited upside in the near term.</p>

  877. <h2>India to Gain from India–UK FTA With 99% Duty-Free Exports</h2>
  878. <p>The long-awaited India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is set to deliver substantial economic benefits for India. With duty-free access now extended to <strong>99% of Indian exports</strong> into the UK, several key sectors are poised for accelerated growth under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CEPA). The deal is scheduled to be officially signed on <strong>July 24, 2025,</strong> during PM Modi’s UK visit.</p>
  879. <h3>Major Export Sectors to Gain</h3>
  880. <p>The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has identified several sectors set to benefit, including:</p>
  881. <ul>
  882. <li><strong>Textiles &amp; Apparel</strong></li>
  883. <li><strong>Leather &amp; Footwear</strong></li>
  884. <li><strong>Gems &amp; Jewellery</strong></li>
  885. <li><strong>Pharmaceuticals</strong></li>
  886. <li><strong>Marine Products</strong></li>
  887. <li><strong>Engineering Goods</strong></li>
  888. </ul>
  889. <p>These industries currently face UK import duties of 4–16%, which are expected to be eliminated under the new agreement.</p>
  890. <h3>Mutual and Reciprocal Benefits</h3>
  891. <p>The UK will reduce tariffs on <strong>90% of exports to India</strong>, including Scotch whisky, gin, automobiles, cosmetics, and medical devices. For example, duties on Scotch will fall from 150% to 75% immediately and to 40% over 10 years, while UK car tariffs will drop to 10% under quotas.</p>
  892. <h3>Economic Impact &amp; Job Growth</h3>
  893. <p>The agreement is expected to nearly <strong>double bilateral trade</strong> to around USD 100 billion by 2030 (from USD 60 billion in 2024). It could significantly boost employment in labor-intensive sectors, particularly textiles, leather, gems, and footwear. UK GDP could also see an uplift of £4.8 billion annually.</p>
  894. <h3>Beyond Tariffs: Services &amp; Mobility</h3>
  895. <p>The FTA also addresses <strong>services trade and professional mobility</strong>. Indian professionals—such as chefs, musicians, and yoga instructors—will benefit from smoother entry into the UK. Additionally, a social security agreement ensures Indians working temporarily in the UK won’t pay double contributions.</p>
  896. <h3>Next Steps and Ratification</h3>
  897. <p>The agreement, concluded in principle on May 6, 2025, will be signed by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and his UK counterpart on July 24. It awaits approval from both the British Parliament and India&#8217;s federal cabinet, expected within the next year .</p>
  898. <p>This landmark FTA represents a strategic win for the &#8220;Make in India&#8221; initiative, enhancing export competitiveness and opening new markets. It marks India’s first comprehensive trade deal with a European partner and a major step in its global economic integration.</p>

  941. <h2>Govt Fast-Tracks Modernisation of Akashvani &amp; Doordarshan Kendras Nationwide</h2>
  942. <p>The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has launched a ₹2,539.61 crore Central Sector initiative—known as the <strong>Broadcasting Infrastructure and Network Development (BIND) scheme</strong>—to modernise state-run radio and television centres across India during 2021–26.</p>
  943. <h3>Comprehensive Upgrade Plan</h3>

  948. <li><strong>Upgradation</strong> of studio and transmitter infrastructure</li>
  949. <li><strong>Adoption</strong> of new technologies and digital workflows</li>

  953. <p>Bihar is among the key beneficiaries, with ₹64.56 crore allocated for Akashvani Kendras and ₹4.31 crore for Doordarshan Kendras in the state. Similar upgradation plans are underway in every state.</p>
  954. <h3>Strengthening Public Service Broadcasting</h3>
  955. <p>According to Minister of State Dr. L. Murugan, the BIND initiative seeks to ensure that AIR and DD stay technologically relevant amid rapidly evolving media patterns and increasing private digital competition in underserved and rural areas.</p>

  1007. <h2>Bombay High Court Reviews Maharashtra’s 5‑Foot Rule for Ganesh Idol Immersions</h2>
  1008. <p>On July 23, 2025, Maharashtra’s Advocate General Dr. Birendra Saraf informed the Bombay High Court that Ganesh idols measuring **5 feet or less** will be required to be immersed in **artificial ponds**, while idols **above 5 feet**—about **7,000 in number**—will be permitted in **natural water bodies** and removed the next morning.</p>
  1009. <h3>Court Raises Environmental Concerns</h3>
  1010. <p>The court expressed skepticism, noting that **7,000 PoP idols** still pose a substantial environmental threat. Chief Justice Aradhe questioned why larger idols couldn’t also be redirected to artificial tanks, suggesting a reconsideration of the 5‑foot limit. The bench specifically asked if idols up to **7 or 8 feet** could similarly be immersed in artificial ponds.</p>
  1011. <h3>AG’s Response &amp; State’s Proposal</h3>
  1012. <p>Dr. Saraf explained that idols taller than 10 feet often occupy an entire tank—making artificial immersion logistically challenging. He clarified that PoP idols do not dissolve quickly, hence all idols in natural waters will be extracted the morning after immersion to mitigate environmental damage.</p>
  1013. <h3>Court Directive &amp; Timeline</h3>
  1014. <p>The bench asked the state to reconsider the immersion height limit and provide clarification **by tomorrow**, before adjourning the hearing. A decision on whether idols up to **8 feet** should be diverted to artificial tanks is expected to form part of the interim directions for the Ganeshotsav.</p>
  1015. <p>This update forms part of ongoing litigation addressing immersion of PoP idols in natural water bodies, exploring eco-friendly alternatives via artificial immersion, consistent with CPCB guidance.</p>

  1107. <h2>Theatre of Roots Pioneer Ratan Thiyam Passes Away at 77</h2>
  1108. <p>Renowned Manipuri theatre director and playwright <strong>Ratan Thiyam</strong> passed away early on July 23, 2025, at the Regional Institute of Medical Science (RIMS), Imphal, following a prolonged illness. He was 77 years old. Thiyam was widely recognised as a leader of the “Theatre of Roots” movement, integrating traditional Manipuri art forms with contemporary stagecraft.</p>
  1109. <h3>An Iconic Legacy</h3>
  1110. <p>A Padma Shri recipient in 1989 and Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee (1987), Thiyam founded the <strong>Chorus Repertory Theatre</strong> in Imphal in 1976 and served as Director (1987–88) and Chairperson (2013–17) of the National School of Drama (NSD). His groundbreaking works—such as <em>Chakravyuh</em>, <em>Ritusamharam</em>, and his Manipuri adaptations of <em>Macbeth</em> and <em>Andha Yug</em>—revitalised Indian theatre on global stages.</p>
  1111. <h3>Global Recognition and Influence</h3>
  1112. <p>Thiyam’s productions infused classical Indian texts, Greek drama, Japanese Noh theatre, and Manipuri cultural aesthetics. He was honoured with the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship (2012) and other international accolades, elevating indigenous performance forms on a global platform.</p>
  1113. <h3>Nation Mourns a Cultural Luminary</h3>
  1114. <p>The Manipur government and leaders like Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma expressed profound grief, calling him a visionary who carried the soul of his homeland through art. The artistic community widely regards him as irreplaceable.</p>
  1115. <p>Ratan Thiyam leaves behind a towering legacy—his vision, discipline, and creative genius will continue to inspire future generations of theatre artists.</p>

  1158. <h2>India Observes National Broadcasting Day on July 23</h2>
  1159. <p>Every year on July 23, India marks <strong>National Broadcasting Day</strong>, commemorating the first organised radio broadcast transmitted from Bombay in 1927. This broadcast initiated a new era of mass communication in the country.</p>
  1160. <h3>Birth of Indian Radio</h3>
  1161. <p>The day recalls the formation of the <strong>Indian Broadcasting Company</strong> in 1927, which pioneered scheduled radio broadcasts. Just a few years later, the government took over the service, eventually establishing <strong>All India Radio (AIR)</strong> in 1936, later rebranded as <strong>Akashvani</strong> in 1956.</p>
  1162. <h3>Legacy Over Nine Decades</h3>
  1163. <p>The Free Press Journal notes that as of 2025, the FM service is 48 years old, Akashvani is 69, and National Broadcasting Day celebrates 98 years since 1927. Today, AIR’s domestic network includes over 470 stations, reaching 92% of India’s geography and 99.2% of the population in 23 languages.</p>
  1164. <h3>From Radio to the Digital Age</h3>
  1165. <p>According to Daily Excelsior, broadcasting has evolved from basic radio to FM, TV, and digital platforms infused with AI. Notably, DD Kisan now employs AI news anchors, reflecting broadcasting’s adaptability in today&#8217;s high-tech landscape.</p>
  1166. <h3>Importance of the Day</h3>
  1167. <ul>
  1168. <li>Recognises radio&#8217;s role in connecting remote communities.</li>
  1169. <li>Honours broadcasters who shaped public discourse.</li>
  1170. <li>Reflects on broadcasting&#8217;s evolution amid technological advances.</li>
  1171. </ul>
  1172. <p>National Broadcasting Day stands as a tribute to radio’s enduring power to educate, entertain, and unite—while embracing the future of media innovation.</p>

  1216. <h2>Gill Lodges Spirit-of-Cricket Complaint before Fourth Test at Manchester</h2>
  1217. <p>India captain <strong>Shubman Gill</strong> has taken a strong stand, accusing England of breaching the “<em>Spirit of Cricket</em>” following instances in the third Test. His comments come ahead of the pivotal fourth Test at <strong>Old Trafford, Manchester</strong>, which begins on <strong>July 23</strong>.</p>
  1218. <h3>Controversy That Sparked the Complaint</h3>
  1219. <p>Gill alleged that England’s openers were &#8220;90 seconds late to the crease&#8221; on the final day at Lord’s, which he described as “not something that comes in the spirit of the game.” He noted a pattern of minor delays and unsporting behavior, suggesting the actions were deliberate.</p>
  1220. <h3>Team News and Debut Watch</h3>
  1221. <p>In injury updates, fast bowler <strong>Akash Deep</strong> is out of the Manchester Test due to a groin issue. All-rounder <strong>Anshul Kamboj</strong> has been named as a top contender for his debut. Gill explained that Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna are under consideration for the final seam-bowling spot.</p>
  1222. <h3>Series Context &amp; Fourth Test Stakes</h3>
  1223. <p>The series currently stands at <strong>2–1 in England’s favor</strong>. This fourth Test is a must-win for India to stay alive, while a win for England would seal the series. With weather expected to be overcast, the conditions favor bowlers, adding pressure on India’s lineup and bolstering England’s seam-friendly attack.</p>
  1224. <h3>Rising Tensions &amp; The Spirit Debate</h3>
  1225. <p>Gill’s pointed remarks reflect growing frustration within the Indian camp. England captain Ben Stokes has promised his side won’t back down but will remain within the rules. The “Bazball” strategy of aggressive cricket has added to the rivalry, and the upcoming Test promises to be high on both skill and emotion.</p>
  1226. <p>The stage is set for a gripping Old Trafford showdown—with national pride, series outcome, and cricketing ethos all hanging in the balance.</p>

Despite health challenges, he continued to perform and record, demonstrating his resilience and passion to the end.</p>
  1258. <p>He is survived by his wife, Sharon, and his children. His departure closes a defining chapter in rock history, but his voice and spirit will echo on.</p>

  1353. <h2>Indian Air Force to Retire MiG‑21 Jets and Replace With Tejas Mk1A by September 2025</h2>
  1354. <p>The Indian Air Force has announced plans to phase out its remaining MiG‑21 fighter jets by <strong>September 2025</strong>. After serving for more than six decades, the iconic “flying coffin” will be replaced by the modern, indigenously developed <strong>Tejas LCA Mark 1A</strong> aircraft.</p>
  1355. <h3>End of a Supersonic Era</h3>
  1356. <p>First inducted in <strong>1963</strong>, the MiG‑21 was India’s first supersonic jet and served in conflicts including the 1965 and 1971 Indo‑Pak wars, the Kargil conflict, and the 2019 Balakot strikes. Despite its legacy, the aircraft earned a grim reputation due to safety concerns and accident rates, earning the nickname “flying coffin”.</p>
  1357. <h3>Transition to Tejas Mk1A</h3>
  1358. <p>An estimated <strong>36 MiG‑21 jets</strong> remain in service, primarily within squadrons stationed at Rajasthan’s Nal Air Force Station. These will be gradually replaced by <strong>Tejas LCA Mk1A</strong>, offering advanced avionics, AESA radar, improved safety features, and reduced maintenance demands.</p>
  1359. <h3>The Transition Timeline</h3>
  1360. <p>The IAF will complete the fleet’s retirement by September, marking a final era of MiG‑21 operations—including ceremonial farewell events. Meanwhile, Tejas Mk1A induction continues, with six aircraft expected by March 2026, and further deliveries under an already approved ₹1.15 lakh crore contract.</p>
  1361. <h3>Modernising the Combat Fleet</h3>
  1362. <p>With the MiG‑21 retired, the IAF&#8217;s total squadron strength will reach its lowest since the 1960s, around <strong>29 squadrons</strong>. The induction of Tejas supports India&#8217;s broader indigenous modernization efforts and serves as a bridge to future platforms, such as the LCA Mk2 and the next-generation AMCA.</p>
  1363. <p>This transition underscores a pivotal shift in India’s defence strategy—moving away from ageing Soviet-era assets towards a modern, self-reliant aerospace capability.</p>

  1521. <h2>ISRO and NASA Prepare for Historic NISAR Launch on July 30</h2>
  1522. <p>The NASA–ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (<strong>NISAR</strong>) mission is set to blast off on <strong>July 30, 2025</strong>, aboard an ISRO GSLV‑F16 rocket from the <strong>Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota</strong>. Today, ISRO and NASA confirmed the lift-off time at <strong>17:40 IST</strong> and outlined its groundbreaking dual-frequency radar capabilities.</p>
  1523. <h3>Revolutionary Dual-Frequency Radar</h3>
  1524. <p>Weighing approximately <strong>2,392 kg</strong>, NISAR carries both L-band (NASA) and S-band (ISRO) Synthetic Aperture Radar systems using a 12‑meter deployable mesh reflector. It will map the globe every <strong>12 days</strong>, day and night, penetrating clouds and darkness to monitor changes in glaciers, earthquakes, vegetation, sea level, and soil moisture with unprecedented precision.</p>
  1525. <h3>Transformative Applications for Earth Science</h3>
  1526. <p>The mission will provide critical data for <strong>disaster response, environmental monitoring, and climate change research.</strong> With high-resolution 3D mapping, NISAR is expected to aid scientific understanding of ecosystems, infrastructure shifts, volcanic activity, and polar ice dynamics. All data will be made publicly available immediately or within hours during emergencies.</p>
  1527. <h3>Milestone in India‑US Collaboration</h3>
  1528. <p>Valued at USD 1.5 billion, NISAR represents the most complex joint satellite mission ever undertaken by NASA and ISRO. It marks a major milestone in international space cooperation, combining each agency’s technological strengths in radar imaging.</p>
  1529. <h3>Countdown to Launch</h3>
  1530. <p>The satellite will launch aboard <strong>GSLV‑F16</strong>, injecting it into a <strong>743 km Sun-synchronous orbit</strong> at an inclination of approximately 98.5°. Following a few years of delay to complete assembly and testing, the mission now enters its final pre-launch stage.</p>
  1531. <p>The NISAR mission is poised to redefine Earth observation satellite capabilities and bolster international scientific efforts to monitor and protect our planet.</p>

  1727. <h2>SEBI and NSE Introduce Centralised Compliance Reporting Platform</h2>
  1728. <p>The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in collaboration with stock exchanges, has launched a unified compliance reporting platform called <strong>Samuhik Prativedan Manch</strong>. Managed by the National Stock Exchange, this portal will allow stock brokers to submit compliance reports to a single interface instead of multiple exchanges.</p>
  1729. <h3>Streamlining Broker Compliance</h3>
  1730. <p>Under the current system, brokers registered with more than one exchange must duplicate submissions. From <strong>August 1, 2025</strong>, the new platform will eliminate redundant reporting, beginning with 40 compliance forms. This is expected to benefit approximately <strong>990 multi-exchange brokers</strong>, reducing administrative burden and costs</p>
  1731. <h3>Phased Rollout Strategy</h3>
  1732. <p>Samuhik Prativedan Manch will roll out in phases. The first phase includes 40 compliance reports, with future phases set to onboard more reporting categories and extend coverage to commodity brokers. SEBI emphasises that this phased approach ensures smooth transition and robust adoption across the industry.</p>
  1733. <h3>Fostering Ease of Doing Business</h3>
  1734. <p>SEBI states that the platform is part of its ongoing effort to promote regulatory simplicity, transparency, and cost-efficiency. The move aligns with broader goals of enhancing ease of doing business for intermediaries and improving investor experience through streamlined regulations.</p>
  1735. <h3>Looking Ahead</h3>
  1736. <p>As the platform expands, brokers can expect further simplification in compliance workflows. SEBI will continue to monitor implementation stages and expand the system to cover broader reporting domains, including commodity markets.</p>

  1779. <h2>NESTS and Avanti Fellows Join Hands to Empower Tribal Students</h2>
  1780. <p>On July 21, 2025, the <strong>National Education Society for Tribal Students (NESTS)</strong> signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with <strong>Avanti Fellows</strong> to provide structured coaching support for <strong>JEE Main/Advanced</strong> and <strong>NEET</strong> entrance exams. This landmark initiative aims to boost inclusive education and empower students from <strong>Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRSs)</strong> across India.</p>
  1781. <h3>Five-Year Agreement to Begin in Academic Year 2025–26</h3>
  1782. <p>The MoU is valid for five years and kicks off from the academic year 2025–26. This partnership seeks to close the educational gap for tribal students, enabling their access to top-tier coaching for India&#8217;s most competitive entrance exams.</p>
  1783. <h3>First Center of Excellence at EMRS Bhopal</h3>
  1784. <p>The first <strong>Center of Excellence (CoE)</strong> will be set up at <strong>EMRS Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh</strong>, catering to 80 selected students. These students will be admitted based on a rigorous entrance exam. In the coming years, similar CoEs are planned for various states to scale the program nationally.</p>
  1785. <h3>About the Partnership</h3>
  1786. <p><strong>Avanti Fellows</strong> is a public charitable trust recognized for its grassroots academic interventions. Through this tie-up, EMRS students will receive not only academic coaching but also mentorship, study planning, and exam strategies tailored for IIT-JEE and NEET aspirants.</p>
  1787. <h3>A Step Towards Educational Equity</h3>
  1788. <p>This collaboration is a significant step forward in making quality education accessible to marginalized communities. By giving tribal youth the tools and confidence to crack national-level exams, the program hopes to create long-term societal impact and a more inclusive nation.</p>

  1884. <h2>Air India Flight AI2744 Overshoots Runway on Landing in Mumbai</h2>
  1885. <p>An Air India Airbus A320, operating as flight AI2744 from Kochi to Mumbai, veered off the runway during landing at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Monday morning, July 21, amid heavy rainfall.</p>
  1886. <h3>What Happened During Landing</h3>
  1887. <p>The aircraft touched down on runway 09/27 around 09:27 local time, but skidded off due to waterlogging and low visibility. Three tyres burst in the process, and the main runway suffered minor damage. The secondary runway 14/32 was activated to maintain ongoing operations.</p>
  1888. <h3>Passenger Safety and Response</h3>
  1889. <p>All crew and passengers disembarked safely from the aircraft, which later taxied to the terminal gate. No injuries were reported. Emergency response teams were deployed immediately following the incident.</p>
  1890. <h3>Aircraft Status and Investigation</h3>
  1891. <p>The aircraft was grounded for inspection. Initial checks revealed damage to at least one of its engines. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched a probe, and Air India confirmed its full cooperation, emphasizing passenger safety as its top priority.</p>
  1892. <h3>Wider Airport Operations</h3>
  1893. <p>Runway 09/27 remained closed briefly for maintenance and repair. Mumbai airport operations were switched to the secondary runway to reduce disruption. Airline schedules faced some delays during the inspection period.</p>
  1894. <p>This event has renewed attention on Mumbai’s monsoon-season readiness and cthe auses of runway excursions. Aviation experts note that waterlogged runways, combined with reduced friction during wet landings, increase the risk of such incidents.</p>

  2049. <h2>ICC Awards England Hosting Rights for Next Three World Test Championship Finals</h2>
  2050. <p>Cricket fans in England have reason to celebrate: the International Cricket Council has confirmed that the next three World Test Championship finals, scheduled for 2027, 2029, and 2031, will all be held in England. The decision came during the ICC’s annual conference in Singapore.</p>
  2051. <h3>Proven Host with Global Appeal</h3>
  2052. <p>The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) won the rights based on its strong record of organising major cricket finals. Since its inception, every WTC final has taken place in England—initially at Southampton, then twice in London. The 2025 final at Lord’s drew record attendance and wide global viewing, reinforcing England’s position as the ideal venue.</p>
  2053. <h3>Venues Under Consideration</h3>
  2054. <p>While exact locations for each final are yet to be confirmed, Lord’s is the front‑runner, with earlier finals held at The Rose Bowl in Southampton and The Oval in London. A similar rotation or repeat at Lord’s is likely for the upcoming editions.</p>
  2055. <h3>Why England Was Chosen Again</h3>
  2056. <ul>
  2057. <li>England hosted the 2025 final at Lord’s, attended by over 109,000 fans and 225 million digital viewers.</li>
  2058. <li>ICC officials highlighted the public’s passion and international fan support during the finals.</li>
  2059. <li>Despite interest from other cricket boards like the BCCI, the ICC opted to back the ECB’s proven track record.</li>
  2060. </ul>
  2061. <h3>Looking Ahead to 2027 and Beyond</h3>
  2062. <p>With the venues set, England can now plan for the high-profile finals in 2027, 2029, and 2031. These events will coincide with key Test series visits and international schedules, including a potential Ashes tour during the 2027 final.</p>
  2063. <p>Beyond hosting, the ICC is exploring the expansion of the World Test Championship structure, including a proposed two‑division format for Test cricket starting in 2027—but these changes won’t affect the location of the upcoming finals.</p>

  2388. <h2><strong>Strategic MoU Signed for Chip Packaging &amp; Manufacturing</strong></h2>
  2389. <p>Tata Electronics and Robert Bosch GmbH have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on **chip packaging and manufacturing** in India. The partnership includes setting up a packaging/test (OSAT) facility in **Assam** and a semiconductor foundry in **Gujarat**, marking a significant expansion of India&#8217;s semiconductor ecosystem.</p>
  2390. <h2><strong>Next-Level Pilot Projects in Assam &amp; Gujarat</strong></h2>
  2391. <p>The Assam unit will handle assembly and testing of chips, while the Gujarat facility focuses on foundry operations. The collaboration further aims to explore **Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS)** opportunities in vehicle electronics—positioning both firms to support India’s growing automotive-tech supply chain.</p>
  2392. <h2><strong>Why This Partnership Matters</strong></h2>
  2393. <ul>
  2394. <li><strong>Localising semiconductor operations:</strong> Reduces reliance on imports and strengthens domestic capabilities.</li>
  2395. <li><strong>Boost to ‘Make in India’:</strong> Supports India’s ambition to build a sustainable semiconductor and electronics infrastructure.</li>
  2396. <li><strong>Automotive synergies:</strong> Bosch gains a local partner for EV and infotainment system components, leveraging Tata Electronics’ facilities.</li>
  2397. </ul>
  2398. <h2><strong>Official Statements from Leaders</strong></h2>
  2399. <p>“We are excited to partner with Bosch to help Bosch create a robust and reliable supply chain for key technology products,” said **Dr Randhir Thakur**, CEO &amp; MD of Tata Electronics. He emphasized the goal of creating “a holistic semiconductor and electronics ecosystem in India.”</p>
  2400. <p>**Dirk Kress**, EVP of Semiconductor Operations at Bosch, added that the partnership responded to rising demand for advanced automotive electronics and aimed to bolster supply-chain resilience.</p>
  2401. <h2><strong>A Step Toward Global Chip Competitiveness</strong></h2>
  2402. <p>The collaboration is part of a broader national strategy. India is pushing to establish global-scale semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.

  2492. <h2><strong>A Green Milestone in Public Transport</strong></h2>
  2493. <p>On July 19, 2025, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, with Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited, inaugurated India’s first **on-route solar EV charging station** for AMTS buses at RTO Circle. Powered by a 120‑kW solar setup and equipped with high-capacity chargers (240 kW &amp; 180 kW), the station can serve **40–45 buses daily** using clean energy.</p>
  2494. <h2><strong>Fuel &amp; Emission Savings</strong></h2>
  2495. <p>Traditionally, AMTS buses often traveled empty to distant depots to recharge—costing the city around ₹60 lakh annually in extra mileage. The new station ensures on-route top-ups, translating to estimated savings of **₹1 crore per year**, along with a significant reduction in carbon emissions.</p>
  2496. <h2><strong>Scalable &amp; Sustainable</strong></h2>
  2497. <p>The project forms part of Phase 2 of the CAPACITIES initiative, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. Beyond the RTO station, similar solar charging units are planned across other locations, including Naranpura and Vastral. AMC targets a rollout of **34 solar-powered EV stations citywide**, aligning with its broader green transport goals.</p>
  2498. <h2><strong>Integrating Urban Eco Projects</strong></h2>
  2499. <p>Managed by AMC’s Air Quality Management Cell, this initiative complements a suite of green projects—urban forests, CNG crematorium furnaces, mechanical parking, and bus electrification (200 BRTS buses already supported). The solar depot is the latest step toward reducing Ahmedabad’s urban carbon footprint.</p>
  2500. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  2501. <p>Ahmedabad’s new on-route solar charging station sets a national precedent—demonstrating how renewable energy can efficiently power public transport. With robust emissions savings and public benefit, it&#8217;s a model for sustainable urban mobility nationwide.</p>

  2534. <h2><strong>Pre-Feasibility Study Underway</strong></h2>
  2535. <p>India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has initiated a pre-feasibility study to explore the construction of a **new refinery** in **Jamnagar, Gujarat**, with a proposed capacity of **200,000–240,000 barrels per day (bpd)**. This development aligns with India’s ambition to become a global refining powerhouse.</p>
  2536. <h2><strong>Strategic Significance</strong></h2>
  2537. <ul>
  2538. <li>India ranks as the **third-largest oil importer and consumer globally**, and expanding refining capacity is critical.</li>
  2539. <li>Jamnagar is already home to the world&#8217;s largest private refinery complex; this project would further cement its status as a refining hub.</li>
  2540. </ul>
  2541. <h2><strong>Investment and Timeline</strong></h2>
  2542. <p>The proposed refinery represents a significant downstream investment, with estimates ranging from ₹1.25 to ₹1.5 lakh crore. Since the project is still in the feasibility stage, formal announcements and project-specific timelines have not yet been released.</p>
  2543. <h2><strong>Broader National Agenda</strong></h2>
  2544. <p>This potential project dovetails with India’s broader energy strategy to scale up refining and ensure self-reliance. ONGC’s exploration for a new unit in Jamnagar is consistent with policy goals.</p>
  2545. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  2546. <p>ONGC’s pre-feasibility for a new 200–240 kbpd Jamnagar refinery signifies a major step toward scaling India’s refining capabilities. While still early-stage, this initiative could play a pivotal role in strengthening the nation’s energy infrastructure and position on the global refining map.</p>

  2632. <h2><strong>Bombay HC Questions Legal Standing in PIL</strong></h2>
  2633. <p>The Bombay High Court has dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by a group of Pune-based advocates against luxury brand Prada. The petition had claimed that Prada’s Milan Fashion Week sandals closely resembled the traditional Kolhapuri chappals, protected under the Geographical Indications (GI) law. However, the court ruled that the petitioners lacked the legal standing to file such a case.</p>
  2634. <h2><strong>Only GI Holders Can Challenge</strong></h2>
  2635. <p>The court noted that only officially recognized GI holders or associations directly impacted by infringement can initiate such legal actions. It pointed out that the proper course of action would have been through the GI proprietors or artisan associations registered under GI protections for Kolhapuri footwear.</p>
  2636. <h2><strong>Cultural Concerns Acknowledged</strong></h2>
  2637. <p>Though the PIL raised concerns about cultural appropriation and threats to artisan livelihoods, the court clarified that legal redress must follow the process laid out in the GI Act. The judges acknowledged the emotional weight of the issue but remained firm on the need for procedural legitimacy.</p>
  2638. <h2><strong>What Happens Next?</strong></h2>
  2639. <p>While the petition has been dismissed, the spotlight now shifts to the GI proprietors, such as state agencies or artisan unions. If they feel Prada’s designs truly infringe on the GI of Kolhapuri chappals, they may initiate formal legal proceedings through the appropriate channel.</p>
  2640. <h2><strong>Final Take</strong></h2>
  2641. <p>The case serves as a reminder of how legal protections for cultural symbols like GI-tagged products are structured. While emotional and cultural concerns hold weight, they must be raised through the right legal forums. The Bombay High Court’s dismissal reflects a firm interpretation of GI law while urging rightful parties to act.</p>

  2681. <h2><strong>Bridge Under Repair: Ban Starts July 16</strong></h2>
  2682. <p>Authorities have banned **heavy vehicles**, including state transport and AMTS buses, from using the **25-year-old Khoraj–Adalaj Narmada Canal bridge** (chainage 239.021 km) in Gandhinagar. The ban is in effect from **July 16 to September 13, 2025**, to prevent further damage ahead of scheduled repair work.</p>
  2683. <h2><strong>Safety Comes First</strong></h2>
  2684. <p>Structural concerns were flagged by the Narmada Project Main Canal Division–2 after a routine inspection. To safeguard public safety and ensure repair integrity, officials have directed that no heavy vehicles be permitted on this vital canal crossing during the repair period.</p>
  2685. <h2><strong>Alternative Routes Advised</strong></h2>
  2686. <p>Motorists, including public transport operators, have been advised to use the **Sarkhej–Gandhinagar highway** as an alternate route until repairs are complete, avoiding disruption and ensuring smoother commutes.</p>
  2687. <h2><strong>Broader Canal Bridge Safety Drive</strong></h2>
  2688. <p>This action follows a wider safety inspection campaign across Gujarat’s canal network. The campaign led to **five canal bridges being fully closed**, **four others banned for heavy vehicles**, and **36 flagged for urgent repairs**—a proactive measure after the recent Gambhira bridge collapse.</p>
  2689. <h2><strong>Why This Matters</strong></h2>
  2690. <ul>
  2691. <li><strong>Public safety:</strong> Heavy vehicle traffic can worsen structural faults in aging bridges.</li>
  2692. <li><strong>Timely repairs:</strong> Preventing new damage lets repair teams work faster and more efficiently.</li>
  2693. <li><strong>Minimized disruption:</strong> Designated alternate routes ensure daily travel continues smoothly.</li>
  2694. </ul>
  2695. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  2696. <p>The heavy vehicle ban on the Khoraj–Adalaj bridge is a precautionary yet necessary step to ensure safety and maintain canal infrastructure health. Other structurally compromised bridges across the Narmada canal are also under repair or restriction. Motorists are urged to follow the recommended detours and drive safely during this period.</p>

  2729. <h2><strong>76% Stretch Already Operational</strong></h2>
  2730. <p>As of July 12, 2025, around **123 km out of the 161 km Vadodara–Surat section** of the **Delhi–Mumbai Expressway** is open to traffic. This includes completed stretches from Vadodara up to Bharuch (Packages 1–3) and the recently opened Kim–Ena segment (Package 6) in one direction due to NH‑48 bridge repairs.</p>
  2731. <h2><strong>Package 5: Remaining Bottleneck</strong></h2>
  2732. <p>The stretch between **Ankleshwar and Kim Interchange (Package 5)** remains unfinished and is currently the only segment blocking full connectivity on this route. Heavy monsoon conditions have slowed construction.</p>
  2733. <h2><strong>Expected Timeline &amp; Inauguration</strong></h2>
  2734. <p>Construction activity is ongoing, and with favorable post-monsoon progress, officials suggest the section may be inaugurated by **Diwali 2025** or by the end of the year.</p>
  2735. <h2><strong>Why This Section Matters</strong></h2>
  2736. <ul>
  2737. <li><strong>Regional Relief:</strong> Once complete, it will dramatically cut travel time between Vadodara and Surat.</li>
  2738. <li><strong>Enhanced Connectivity:</strong> This eight-lane expressway is part of a major corridor linking Delhi and Mumbai.</li>
  2739. <li><strong>Economic Boost:</strong> The full route will improve logistics, trade, and travel across five states.</li>
  2740. </ul>
  2741. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  2742. <p>Progress on the **Vadodara–Surat section** is encouraging, with over three-quarters of the route functional. Now, all eyes are on **Package 5** as authorities aim for a smooth completion post-monsoon, targeting a Diwali launch. This corridor will soon offer seamless, high-speed connectivity across the heart of Western India.</p>

  3098. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>A Royal Politician Takes Raj Bhavan, Goa</strong></h2>
  3099. <p>Pusapati Ashok Gajapathi Raju, a senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and former Union Civil Aviation Minister, has been appointed as the **Governor of Goa**. The announcement was made on **July 14, 2025**, following a Presidential order from Droupadi Murmu and countersigned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s coalition government.</p>
  3100. <h2><strong>Breaking Tradition: First NDA Ally Outside BJP</strong></h2>
  3101. <p>This marks a rare move by the BJP-led NDA, appointing a non‑BJP ally to a gubernatorial post. Political analysts interpret it as a strategic gesture to reinforce alliance ties with regional parties such as the TDP — signaling outreach beyond the core party base.</p>
  3102. <h2><strong>Rich Heritage Meets Public Service</strong></h2>
  3103. <p>Hailing from the royal Pusapati family of Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, Raju’s lineage resonates with heritage and statesmanship. His political journey spans decades: six-time MLA, former state finance minister, and Union Civil Aviation Minister from 2014 to 2018, where he championed initiatives like UDAN and India’s first no-fly list.</p>
  3104. <h2><strong>Reactions &amp; Local Response</strong></h2>
  3105. <p>Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu celebrated it as “a proud moment for our people,” welcoming the decision as recognition of Raju’s longstanding service. Goa’s current Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, issued an X (Twitter) statement expressing eagerness to work closely with the new Governor for the state’s continued development.</p>
  3106. <h2><strong>What to Watch Next</strong></h2>
  3107. <ul>
  3108. <li><strong>Oath-taking Ceremony:</strong> Scheduled in Goa in the coming days.</li>
  3109. <li><strong>Policy Signal:</strong> Raju’s alignment may suggest coalition-friendly moves ahead.</li>
  3110. <li><strong>Governance Role:</strong> As Chancellor of Goa University and head of state bodies, his influence will be significant.</li>
  3111. </ul>
  3112. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  3113. <p>The appointment of Ashok Gajapathi Raju as Goa Governor blends political strategy, royal tradition, and coalition diplomacy. It stands as a testament to the NDA’s broader alliance-building ahead of future electoral and governance challenges.</p>

  3324. <p>India’s dream of high-speed rail travel took a giant leap forward with the completion of the first section of the <strong>21 km undersea tunnel</strong> for the <strong>Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train</strong> project. This key portion, between <strong>Ghansoli and Shilphata</strong> in Maharashtra, is a vital component of the upcoming 508 km high-speed corridor.</p>
  3325. <h2>Japan–India Partnership Brings E10 Shinkansen to India</h2>
  3326. <p>As part of the India–Japan strategic alliance, <strong>E10 Shinkansen trains</strong>—the next-generation of Japan’s iconic bullet trains—will debut in India alongside their launch in Japan. These trains represent cutting-edge advancements in speed, safety, and reliability.</p>
  3327. <h3>Entire Corridor Powered by Japanese Tech</h3>
  3328. <p>The full <strong>508 km Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR)</strong> corridor is being developed using <strong>Japanese Shinkansen technology</strong>, making it India’s first truly world-class bullet train system.</p>
  3329. <h2>Massive Construction Progress</h2>
  3330. <p>Construction work is progressing rapidly. So far, <strong>310 km of viaducts</strong> have been completed, <strong>15 river bridges</strong> are ready, and <strong>4 more are nearing completion</strong>. Out of the planned 12 stations, 5 are complete, and 3 are close to finalization.</p>

  3332. <h3>Engineering Feat: BKC Underground Station</h3>
  3333. <p>One of the highlights is the <strong>Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) underground station</strong>, located 32.5 meters below ground. The foundation is designed to support a 95-meter tall skyscraper above, showcasing a marvel of modern engineering.</p>
  3334. <h2>Future-Ready Corridors Ahead</h2>
  3335. <p>The success of the MAHSR project is laying the foundation for <strong>future bullet train corridors across India</strong>. Plans are underway to replicate this model in other major regions, taking India&#8217;s railway infrastructure to global standards.</p>
  3336. <p>This remarkable achievement reinforces India’s ability to adopt and execute complex infrastructure using <strong>next-gen international technologies</strong> in collaboration with global partners like Japan.</p>

With a cultivated area of 61,016 hectares and an average productivity of 30.65 tons per hectare, Banaskantha topped the state charts, followed closely by Sabarkantha and Aravalli districts.</p>
  3387. <h2>10X Growth in Two Decades</h2>
  3388. <p>In 2004–05, Gujarat&#8217;s processed potato output was less than 1 lakh ton with just 4,000 hectares under cultivation. Today, the area under cultivation has expanded to 37,000 hectares, producing <strong>11.5 lakh tons of processed-grade potatoes</strong>. Gujarat has now surpassed Uttar Pradesh and Punjab in this segment.</p>
  3389. <h2>Global Demand for Gujarat’s Crisp Potatoes</h2>
  3390. <p>The state&#8217;s north—thanks to favorable soil, climate, and advanced storage—has become a hub for <strong>Lady Rosetta, Kufri Chipsona, and Santana</strong> varieties. These are in high demand by <strong>QSR chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Domino’s</strong> as well as international frozen food markets, particularly in the Middle East.</p>
  3391. <h2>Support from the Government and Industry</h2>
  3392. <p>Thanks to initiatives under <strong>PM Narendra Modi’s vision for value-added agriculture</strong> and the leadership of CM Bhupendra Patel, Gujarat’s agricultural policies and backing from the <strong>Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation</strong> have empowered farmers to focus on high-yield, export-grade produce.</p>
  3393. <p><strong>Gujarat now not only meets India&#8217;s French fries and wafer demand but is also a major exporter of processed potatoes globally.</strong></p>

  3474. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">In a major step to bolster security, </span><strong style="font-size: 16px;">Indian Railways</strong><span style="font-size: 16px;"> has announced the installation of </span><strong style="font-size: 16px;">CCTV cameras in all 74,000 coaches and 15,000 locomotives</strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">. This initiative follows successful trials in Northern Railway and aims to deter criminal activity while enhancing the safety of millions of daily passengers.</span></p>
  3475. <div>
  3476. <h2>Widespread Installation Across All Coaches and Locos</h2>
  3477. <p>Each railway coach will be equipped with <strong>four dome-type CCTV cameras</strong>—two near each entrance. Additionally, every locomotive will feature <strong>six cameras</strong>, strategically placed to cover front, rear, and side views. Each cab will also include <strong>desk-mounted microphones</strong> to aid in real-time audio monitoring.</p>
  3478. <h2>High-Tech Surveillance with AI Integration</h2>
  3479. <p>The Ministry confirmed that the CCTV systems will be <strong>STQC-certified</strong> and designed for <strong>high-speed functionality (over 100 kmph)</strong> and <strong>low-light visibility</strong>. Railways is also exploring <strong>AI-powered analytics</strong> under the <em>IndiaAI Mission</em> to enhance incident detection, behavior analysis, and emergency response.</p>
  3480. <h2>Focus on Passenger Privacy</h2>
  3481. <p>The surveillance will be limited to <strong>common movement areas near doors</strong> to respect privacy. The data will assist in identifying miscreants and organized criminal activity while upholding the dignity and safety of travelers.</p>
  3482. <h2>Ministers Review Progress</h2>
  3483. <p>Railways Minister <strong>Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw</strong> and MoS <strong>Shri Ravneet Singh Bittu</strong> recently reviewed the progress of this rollout in a high-level meeting. They emphasized the use of <strong>best-in-class equipment</strong> and urged officials to expedite the project across all zones.</p>
  3484. <p>This modernization reflects the Indian Railways’ growing commitment to providing <strong>a secure, technologically advanced, and commuter-friendly experience</strong>.</p>

  3608. <p>In a remarkable event at Raj Bhavan, <strong>Gujarat Governor Shri Acharya Devvrat</strong> launched the 17-volume spiritual anthology <strong>&#8220;Ved Manjusha&#8221;</strong>, published by Neeta Prakashan. The mega collection includes <strong>20,348 Vedic hymns</strong>, meticulously translated into <strong>Sanskrit, Hindi, and English</strong>, making them accessible to a global audience.</p>
  3609. <h2>18 Years of Tireless Effort</h2>
  3610. <p>Esteemed academician and retired professor of Delhi University, <strong>Dr. Puran Chand Tandon</strong>, undertook the monumental task of translating and simplifying the Vedic scriptures. The work took nearly <strong>18 years</strong> to complete and presents not just translations, but meanings and summaries of each hymn to ensure understanding by readers of all backgrounds.</p>
  3611. <h2>Governor’s Reflections on the Vedas</h2>
  3612. <p>During the ceremony, Shri Acharya Devvrat remarked that the <strong>Vedas are divine knowledge gifted to mankind</strong>, not authored by any individual. He emphasized that the Vedas form the root of all sciences and that reconnecting with them is crucial for spiritual and cultural revival.</p>
  3613. <h3>Tribute to Swami Dayanand Saraswati</h3>
  3614. <p>The Governor acknowledged <strong>Swami Dayanand Saraswati’s role</strong> in reviving Vedic knowledge, particularly in Gujarat. He mentioned that without such reformers, the Vedas might have remained obscured under centuries of neglect.</p>
  3615. <h2>Legacy of Radheyshyam Gupta</h2>
  3616. <p>The inspiration behind &#8220;Ved Manjusha&#8221; came from late <strong>Radheyshyam Gupta</strong>, founder of Neeta Prakashan. His daughter-in-law Smt. Shanti Deviji and son Shri Rakesh Gupta fulfilled his dream of spreading Vedic wisdom across generations. The Governor honored both Shri Gupta and Dr. Tandon for their spiritual and academic contributions.</p>
  3617. <p>The book is expected to gain international reach and give the world a glimpse of <strong>India’s glorious cultural heritage</strong>.</p>

  3659. <h2><strong>Legendary South Cinema Actress Passes Away</strong></h2>
  3660. <p>Veteran actress B. Saroja Devi, fondly called “Abhinaya Saraswathi” and the first female superstar of Kannada cinema, passed away today (July 14, 2025) at her residence in Malleswaram, Bengaluru at the age of 87. Her death has been attributed to age-related illness.</p>
  3661. <h2><strong>An Icon Across Four Languages</strong></h2>
  3662. <p>Saroja Devi made her screen debut in 1955 with the Kannada classic <em>Mahakavi Kalidasa</em>. Over her prolific seven-decade career, she appeared in more than 200 films across Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema. She gained fame through the Tamil hit <em>Nadodi Mannan</em> (1958) and earned titles such as “Kannadathu Paingili” (Kannada’s Parrot).</p>
  3663. <h2><strong>Accolades &#038; Cultural Legacy</strong></h2>
  3664. <p>A recipient of both Padma Shri (1969) and Padma Bhushan (1992), Saroja Devi also received honors including an honorary doctorate from Bangalore University and the Tamil Nadu Kalaimamani award. She was the only actress to play lead roles in 161 consecutive films between 1955 and 1984.</p>
  3665. <h2><strong>Tributes Pour In</strong></h2>
  3666. <p>Political and film figures mourned the loss. <em>“Her departure is a great loss to Indian cinema,”</em> said Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting her soulful performances. Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar described her as “Abhinaya Saraswathi” and praised her six-decade contribution to film.</p>
  3667. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  3668. <p>B. Saroja Devi’s legacy is etched in the golden era of South Indian cinema—her versatility, grace, and iconic roles transcended generations. As cinema mourns her loss, her films and contributions will continue to inspire. For more tributes and updates, check our <a href="https://gpsc-ojas.com/news/">latest news section</a>.</p>

  3780. <p>Once a toxic legacy dumpsite, the Kuberpur landfill in Agra has now emerged as India’s first <strong>Integrated Waste Management City</strong> under the <strong>Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U)</strong>. What was once a hazardous expanse is now a national model of sustainability, powered by bioremediation, biomining, and zero-waste innovation.</p>
  3781. <h2>A Journey from Decay to Development</h2>
  3782. <p>The Kuberpur site had served as a landfill since 2007, accommodating thousands of tons of municipal solid waste. But in 2019, guided by Hon&#8217;ble PM Shri Narendra Modi and CM Shri Yogi Adityanath, the Agra Municipal Corporation initiated a bioremediation and biomining campaign with technical collaboration from SPAAK Super Infra Pvt. Ltd.</p>
  3783. <p>In just five years, this initiative removed nearly <strong>1.9 million metric tons of waste</strong>, reclaiming <strong>47 acres</strong> of valuable urban land—of which:</p>
  3784. <ul>
  3785. <li><strong>10 acres</strong> have been turned into an urban forest using the Miyawaki method</li>
  3786. <li><strong>5 acres</strong> are now a modern sanitary landfill for inert waste</li>
  3787. <li>The remaining land has been landscaped into an <strong>eco-friendly zone</strong></li>
  3788. </ul>
  3789. <h2>Infrastructure That Powers Sustainability</h2>
  3790. <p>The transformation included the installation of:</p>
  3791. <ul>
  3792. <li>A <strong>500 TPD waste-to-compost plant</strong></li>
  3793. <li><strong>Four Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs)</strong> with a total capacity of 405 TPD</li>
  3794. <li><strong>65 TPD Plastic Waste Processing Plant</strong> converting plastic into water pipes for farmers</li>
  3795. <li><strong>100% door-to-door waste segregation and collection</strong> across the city</li>
  3796. </ul>
  3797. <h3>Cost and Impact</h3>
  3798. <p>The entire project was completed at an estimated cost of ₹320 crore. Today, Kuberpur is no longer a dumping ground but a beacon of modern waste governance, environmental conservation, and civic engagement.</p>
  3799. <h2>More Than Just a Waste Project</h2>
  3800. <p>Beyond solid waste solutions, the Kuberpur site has been developed into a <strong>learning and awareness hub</strong>—hosting students, researchers, and environmental professionals from IITs, colleges, and institutions nationwide.</p>
  3801. <p>This holistic approach to urban transformation has made Agra a shining example of what SBM-U 2.0 envisions: a clean, green, inclusive, and sustainable India.</p>

  3922. <p>As the sacred full moon of Ashadha illuminated the evening sky, the spiritual grounds of <strong>Sarnath</strong> witnessed a grand celebration of <strong>Ashadha Purnima</strong>—marking <strong>Dhammachakra Pravartana Divas</strong>, the day when Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon after enlightenment.</p>
  3923. <p>The commemoration was organized by the <strong>International Buddhist Confederation (IBC)</strong> in association with the <strong>Ministry of Culture</strong> and the <strong>Mahabodhi Society of India</strong>. The event was held at the <strong>Mulagandha Kuti Vihara</strong> in Sarnath, attracting esteemed monks, scholars, and devotees from around the world.</p>
  3924. <h2>Highlights of the Ashadha Purnima Programme</h2>
  3925. <p>The event began with a silent and reverent <strong>parikrama (circumambulation)</strong> around the historic <strong>Dhamek Stupa</strong>, as monks and laypersons paid homage to the Buddha’s teachings. The stupa stood glowing in the twilight, symbolizing the eternal truth of Dhamma.</p>
  3926. <p>Ven. Summitananda Thero opened the formal session with a welcome address, followed by heartfelt remarks from <strong>Ven. Dieu Tri</strong> of Vietnam, who shared insights from the recent <em>Buddha Relic Exposition,</em> where over 17.8 million Vietnamese devotees paid homage.</p>
  3927. <h2>Wisdom and Harmony Through Global Buddhist Participation</h2>
  3928. <p>Ven. Wangchuk Dorjee Negi, Vice Chancellor of the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, emphasized the deep harmony between Dharma practice and knowledge. He noted how Ashadha Purnima connects key moments of Buddha’s life—his conception, first sermon, and the establishment of the monastic Sangha.</p>
  3929. <p>Most Ven. Sumedha Thero from Sri Lanka highlighted the spiritual ties between India and Sri Lanka, expressing gratitude for India&#8217;s commitment to Buddhist heritage and interfaith unity.</p>
  3930. <h2>Conclusion: Reaffirming the Buddha&#8217;s Universal Message</h2>
  3931. <p>Shartse Khensur Jangchup Choeden Rinpoche, IBC Secretary General, concluded the event with a call for global unity and interfaith dialogue to build a peaceful world rooted in compassion. A vote of thanks by <strong>Ven. Seelawanso Thero</strong> rounded off the evening, echoing the collective reverence of the gathering.</p>
  3932. <p><strong>Ashadha Purnima 2025 reaffirmed the relevance of Buddha&#8217;s teachings in today’s world, calling all to walk the path of mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom.</strong></p>

  4042. <h2><strong>NBEMS Issues Urgent Advisory Against Fake Messages</strong></h2>
  4043. <p>The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has released a timely advisory on July 10, 2025, warning NEET‑PG 2025 aspirants of fraudulent communications circulating via SMS, emails, and social media. These fake notices have falsely claimed exam postponements, leaked question papers, or guaranteed admission—leading to confusion and panic among students. You can read the official advisory <a href="https://natboard.edu.in/viewNotice.php?NBE=SnlyT2N0V0MwR2RkcXFVdWJwTjRBdz09" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the NBEMS website here</a>.</p>
  4044. <h2><strong>Official Channels to Trust</strong></h2>
  4045. <p>NBEMS clarified that the only authentic sources of communication are its official websites—natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in—and its sole verified WhatsApp channel. The board does not use any Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), or YouTube pages. Candidates are advised to ignore all other media and avoid clicking suspicious links.</p>
  4046. <h2><strong>QR‑Code Verification Now Required</strong></h2>
  4047. <p>All genuine notices released by NBEMS since July 2020 include a QR code that, when scanned, links directly to the official notice on their website. Any message lacking this unique identifier should be treated as fraudulent. This measure is aimed at curbing the spread of false information and protecting candidate interests.</p>
  4048. <h2><strong>How to Stay Safe from Scams</strong></h2>
  4049. <ul>
  4050. <li>Check for the QR code before trusting any NBEMS notice.</li>
  4051. <li>Always download information directly from natboard.edu.in or nbe.edu.in.</li>
  4052. <li>Reject SMS or emails promising leaked papers or certainty of marks.</li>
  4053. <li>Report suspicious messages to NBEMS via their official channels or local authorities.</li>
  4054. </ul>
  4055. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  4056. <p>With the NEET‑PG 2025 exam approaching, staying alert to misinformation is crucial. NBEMS’s advisory is a necessary step in safeguarding candidates from scams. Rely only on verified notices, check QR codes, and avoid unofficial sources. For accurate updates on exam dates, admit cards, or results, always refer to the official NBEMS websites.</p>

  4166. <h2>India&#8217;s Vision for Hydrocarbon Exploration</h2>
  4167. <p>At the 9th OPEC International Seminar in Vienna, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, highlighted India’s dynamic push towards hydrocarbon exploration. Under the OALP Round-10, a vast area of 2.5 lakh sq km has been opened up, with ambitious targets to expand this to 0.5 million sq km by 2025 and 1 million sq km by 2030. This expansion is backed by progressive policy reforms and major initiatives like the National Seismic Program and Mission Anveshan.</p>
  4168. <h2>From Guyana-Scale Discoveries to Policy Overhaul</h2>
  4169. <p>India is inching closer to a significant oilfield discovery in the Andaman Sea, with exploration now powered by the Revenue Sharing Model under the Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy (HELP). Reducing &#8216;No-Go&#8217; zones by 99% and streamlining the Oilfields Regulation &#038; Development Act (ORD Act) of 1948 are key moves that have unlocked over 1 million sq km for exploration.</p>
  4170. <h2>India’s Role in Global Energy Stability</h2>
  4171. <p>As the third-largest energy consumer globally, India’s daily demand is around 5.4 million barrels. The country is set to account for nearly 25% of the incremental global energy demand in the coming years. India is actively diversifying crude imports from 27 to 40 countries, boosting domestic production, and aiming to become a global refining hub with a 310 MMTPA capacity by 2028.</p>
  4172. <h2>Net Zero by 2070: The Clean Transition</h2>
  4173. <p>Shri Puri reaffirmed India’s commitment to achieving energy independence by 2047 and Net Zero emissions by 2070. The path includes increasing biofuel adoption and pushing toward a gas-based economy. The government has created a supportive policy landscape to develop sustainable aviation fuel, biodiesel, and ethanol-blended petrol.</p>
  4174. <h2>Strengthening Global Partnerships via Biofuels</h2>
  4175. <p>India’s leadership in the Global Biofuels Alliance now includes 29 countries and 14 international organizations. Domestically, there is an aggressive push to scale up ethanol, CBG, and SAF. These efforts align with India&#8217;s belief that the energy transition must be equitable, inclusive, and focused on development with dignity—especially for the Global South.</p>
  4176. <h2>Impact of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana</h2>
  4177. <p>India’s clean cooking movement under PMUY has distributed over 103 million LPG connections to women from weaker economic backgrounds. This initiative drastically improved energy access and public health, raising national LPG coverage from 55% in 2014 to near-universal levels today.</p>
  4178. <h2>Affordable Energy Despite Global Crisis</h2>
  4179. <p>Despite a 58% surge in global LPG prices, Indian households continue to benefit from subsidies and support by oil marketing companies. PMUY beneficiaries now pay around $6–7 per cylinder, nearly 39% less than mid-2023 prices, thanks to government and corporate efforts to shield consumers.</p>
  4180. <h2>Why This Matters</h2>
  4181. <p>India is not only scaling up infrastructure but also integrating sustainability and economic inclusion into its energy strategy. With robust planning, international collaborations, and social focus, India is setting a benchmark in managing energy transition while ensuring affordability, access, and long-term energy security.</p>

  4237. <p>The Indian Navy has officially taken delivery of <strong>Nistar</strong>, the country’s first indigenously designed and constructed <strong>Diving Support Vessel (DSV)</strong>. The vessel was handed over by Hindustan Shipyard Limited on July 8, 2025, at Visakhapatnam, marking a major stride towards India&#8217;s maritime self-reliance.</p>
  4238. <p><strong>Nistar</strong> has been meticulously built under the classification rules of the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS), ensuring high standards of design and safety. This specialized warship is equipped to undertake complex <strong>Deep Sea Diving and Rescue Operations</strong>, a niche capability held by only a few navies worldwide.</p>
  4239. <p>The name “Nistar” is derived from Sanskrit and translates to <strong>liberation, rescue, or salvation</strong> — perfectly echoing the vessel’s primary purpose. Measuring 118 meters in length and weighing approximately 10,000 tons, the vessel integrates cutting-edge technologies for underwater missions.</p>
  4240. <p>Among its notable features, Nistar can perform <strong>Saturation Diving up to 300 meters</strong> deep and utilize a <strong>Side Diving Stage</strong> for operations up to 75 meters. Additionally, the vessel has been designed to act as the <strong>‘Mother Ship’ for the Deep Submergence Rescue Vessel (DSRV)</strong>, making it indispensable during submarine rescue scenarios.</p>
  4241. <p>To enhance rescue and salvage operations, the ship comes equipped with advanced <strong>Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)</strong> capable of operating at depths of up to 1000 meters. These technologies are crucial for diver monitoring, deep-sea recovery, and emergency evacuations.</p>
  4242. <p>The successful delivery of <strong>Nistar</strong> with nearly <strong>75% indigenous components</strong> not only demonstrates the technological capabilities of Indian shipyards but also aligns perfectly with the Government of India’s ambitious <strong>Aatmanirbhar Bharat</strong> and <strong>Make in India</strong> initiatives. It reaffirms India&#8217;s commitment to strengthening its naval infrastructure with homegrown innovation and resilience.</p>
  4243. <h2>Why Nistar is a Game Changer for India</h2>
  4244. <p>The induction of <strong>Nistar</strong> significantly enhances the Indian Navy’s capability in underwater operations, strategic support, and disaster response. It closes a critical capability gap and positions India alongside elite maritime forces with specialized deep-sea support assets.</p>

  4328. <h2>Keel Laying Ceremony Held at L&#038;T Shipyard</h2>
  4329. <p>On July 9, 2025, the Indian Navy achieved a key milestone with the keel laying of its third Fleet Support Ship (FSS) at the L&#038;T Shipyard in Kattupalli. The event was graced by Vice Admiral Rajaram Swaminathan, Controller Warship Production &#038; Acquisition, along with other senior officials from the Indian Navy, Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL), and L&#038;T.</p>
  4330. <h2>Strategic Contract with Hindustan Shipyard Limited</h2>
  4331. <p>In August 2023, the Indian Navy signed a strategic contract with HSL for the acquisition of five advanced Fleet Support Ships. These vessels are expected to begin deliveries by mid-2027, bolstering India&#8217;s maritime logistics and defence capabilities in the Indian Ocean Region.</p>
  4332. <h2>Public-Private Collaboration in Indian Shipbuilding</h2>
  4333. <p>To ensure timely construction and leverage India&#8217;s shipbuilding capacity, HSL has subcontracted the building of two FSS vessels to L&#038;T’s Kattupalli shipyard. This move highlights a growing and effective partnership between India’s public and private sectors under the Make in India initiative.</p>
  4334. <h2>Enhancing Blue Water Naval Capability</h2>
  4335. <p>The Fleet Support Ships will be vital in supporting India’s blue water naval operations. With a displacement of over 40,000 tons, each vessel will carry fuel, water, ammunition, and essential stores, enabling the Indian Navy to operate further from home shores for longer periods.</p>
  4336. <h2>Support for Humanitarian and Disaster Relief</h2>
  4337. <p>Besides their primary role of replenishment at sea, the FSS vessels are equipped for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions. They will aid in evacuating civilians and delivering critical supplies during emergencies such as natural disasters.</p>
  4338. <h2>Indigenous Design and Self-Reliance Push</h2>
  4339. <p>These Fleet Support Ships are not only built in India but also integrate a wide array of indigenous systems and equipment. The initiative strongly aligns with national missions like Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make for the World, fostering innovation and capacity-building in India’s defence sector.</p>
  4340. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
  4341. <p>With the keel now laid for the third FSS, the Indian Navy is taking confident strides toward expanding its operational endurance and humanitarian reach. The integration of public and private shipbuilding efforts is not only accelerating progress but also strengthening the nation’s defence ecosystem.</p>

  4450. <h2>India’s Agricultural Export Vision: A ₹20 Lakh Crore Goal</h2>
  4451. <p>Union Minister Piyush Goyal announced a bold vision for India’s agricultural future—expanding exports from ₹4.5 lakh crore to a massive ₹20 lakh crore. This transformation, he noted, hinges on improvements in food processing, branding, and packaging. With focused strategies, India is positioned to become a major global supplier of high-quality farm produce.</p>
  4452. <h2>Non-Traditional Produce Finds Global Markets</h2>
  4453. <p>India&#8217;s agricultural export basket is diversifying rapidly. Crops like jamun, pineapple, and litchi, which were traditionally grown for domestic consumption, are now being exported to markets in the UK, Doha, Dubai, and other Gulf nations. These niche exports not only reflect India&#8217;s agri-diversity but also open new economic avenues for farmers.</p>
  4454. <h2>Millets, Organic Produce, and Blockchain-Based Certification</h2>
  4455. <p>Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s push during the International Year of Millets, traditional Indian grains are now gaining global attention. Shri Goyal also emphasized the government&#8217;s move towards promoting organic farming with stricter blockchain-backed certification. This will enhance global trust in Indian organic produce, ensuring traceability and quality compliance.</p>
  4456. <h2>Mass Movement for Drip Irrigation</h2>
  4457. <p>Drip irrigation has been highlighted as a vital reform to make Indian agriculture climate-resilient. Shri Goyal called for a nationwide adoption of water-saving methods, including creating village-level water bodies and promoting smart pumps that can be operated via mobile phones. This is expected to reduce over-irrigation and lower input costs.</p>
  4458. <h2>Technology for Sustainable Growth</h2>
  4459. <p>Smart, energy-efficient pumps and sensor-based irrigation technologies are being promoted to reduce electricity usage and water wastage. These measures directly benefit farmers by lowering costs and improving productivity. Shri Goyal stressed the need for resilient supply chains across seeds, fertilisers, and equipment to future-proof Indian farming.</p>
  4460. <h2>Women Empowerment Through ‘Drone Didi’ Initiative</h2>
  4461. <p>A key highlight of the speech was the &#8216;Drone Didi&#8217; programme, under which 1.5 lakh women have been trained to use drones for spraying fertilisers. This initiative empowers rural women while promoting precision farming. Additionally, efforts are being made to boost intercropping, floriculture, and horticulture practices across the country.</p>
  4462. <h2>Export Infrastructure and Farmer Support Initiatives</h2>
  4463. <p>The government has strengthened over 1,400 mandis via the e-NAM platform to enable better price discovery. A ₹1 lakh crore Agriculture Infrastructure Fund has also been launched to support logistics and storage needs. Farmer Producer Organisations are being mobilised for easier access to mechanisation and funding.</p>
  4464. <h2>Collaborative Growth Model: Farmers, Entrepreneurs &#038; Government</h2>
  4465. <p>Shri Goyal urged collaboration between agriculture entrepreneurs and farmers. With dedicated support for product design, packaging, and logistics, India&#8217;s farm exports can scale sustainably. Initiatives like the Turmeric Board and rising coffee exports were cited as successful examples of this synergy.</p>
  4466. <h2>Conclusion: From Local to Global—India’s Agri Story Evolves</h2>
  4467. <p>From Jamun in UK stores to blockchain-backed organic grains in EU markets, Indian agriculture is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Through targeted reforms, technology, and market access, the country is not just aiming for self-sufficiency but also global competitiveness.</p>

  4515. <h2>Spiritual Event ‘Vande Somnath’ Announced</h2>
  4516. <p>Gujarat is gearing up for a spiritually enriching experience with the launch of the <strong>‘Vande Somnath’</strong> program. Starting from the first Monday of the Shravan month, a series of cultural-spiritual events will be hosted every Monday at the historic Somnath Temple. The initiative aims to create a devotional ambiance infused with the richness of India&#8217;s traditional performing arts.</p>
  4517. <h2>Divine Depictions of Lord Shiva</h2>
  4518. <p>The program will feature mesmerizing performances by renowned artists portraying various forms of Lord Shiva, including <strong>Rudra</strong>, <strong>Yogi</strong>, <strong>Nataraj</strong>, and <strong>Somnath</strong>. These thematic showcases will merge bhakti (devotion) with classical expressions like dance, drama, and music to offer a soul-stirring experience for all devotees.</p>
  4519. <h2>Organizers and Support</h2>
  4520. <p>This initiative is a collaborative effort between the <strong>Gujarat Tourism Department</strong>, <strong>Somnath Trust</strong>, and the <strong>Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts</strong>. Together, they aim to promote religious tourism and celebrate Gujarat’s vibrant spiritual culture during the auspicious month of Shravan.</p>
  4521. <h2>Special AC Bus Service for Devotees</h2>
  4522. <p>To ease travel for visitors, a special AC Volvo bus service will operate every Monday from various parts of the state to Somnath Temple. Devotees can book these buses in advance and participate in the serene atmosphere of the Vande Somnath program without hassle.</p>
  4523. <h2>Why This Matters</h2>
  4524. <p>Initiatives like Vande Somnath not only uplift the spiritual fabric of the state but also enhance tourism by connecting art, devotion, and cultural values. With a devotional theme rooted in Gujarat&#8217;s heritage, this event is expected to attract thousands of pilgrims and art lovers alike.</p>
  4525. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  4526. <p>The Vande Somnath initiative is more than a cultural show—it&#8217;s a divine offering to Lord Shiva and a spiritual retreat for all who participate. If you’re seeking devotion wrapped in art, this Shravan, Somnath awaits you with open arms.</p>

  4789. <p>Since the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, 2017, Gujarat has emerged as one of the most efficient and transparent states in terms of tax collection and economic management. The GST system eliminated multiple overlapping taxes like VAT, CST, octroi, and excise duties, making tax calculation and filing more accessible to businesses and consumers alike.</p>
  4790. <p>In FY 2024–25, Gujarat recorded an impressive ₹1,36,748 crore in total GST revenue, registering a year-on-year increase of ₹11,579 crore. With this figure, Gujarat stands third nationwide in state-wise GST contributions and holds an 8.2% share in India&#8217;s domestic GST collections.</p>
  4791. <p>Gujarat also showed a remarkable increase in the number of registered taxpayers—from 5.15 lakh at the time of GST implementation to over 12.46 lakh in 2024–25. This 145% growth positions the state as third in the country for the number of GST registrants and highlights its expanding economic activity and taxpayer discipline.</p>
  4792. <p>In terms of SGST and IGST collections, Gujarat earned ₹73,200 crore in FY 2024–25, up ₹8,752 crore from the previous year. The state recorded a 13.6% growth in these categories, well above the national average of 10.31%, indicating a robust and consistent economic performance.</p>
  4793. <p>Gujarat also led the country in the number of e-way bills generated, with over 13.98 crore bills created by suppliers in 2024–25. The state ranks first in supplier-based e-way bill generation, second in bill value, and third in total bill count nationally—underscoring its digital adoption and logistic transparency.</p>
  4794. <p>On the compliance front, Gujarat’s performance in GST return filing is equally commendable. It achieved an 88.9% compliance rate for GSTR-3B returns and 85.5% for GSTR-1 returns, placing it among the top-performing states in the country.</p>
  4795. <p>Moreover, Gujarat ranks second in the country on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for GST implementation, with 71.69 points. It secured the top spot in 9 out of 22 metrics, just behind Maharashtra, which scored 73.93.</p>
  4796. <p><strong>By simplifying taxation, boosting transparency, and leading in digital tax administration, Gujarat has laid a strong foundation for inclusive and sustainable economic development.</strong></p>

  4845. <p>The Gujarat government has taken a progressive step to simplify the learning license process for citizens. Starting from July 7, 2025, applicants across the state can now apply for learning licenses through a &#8220;faceless, Aadhaar-based e-KYC system&#8221;, eliminating the need to physically visit the RTO in most cases.</p>
  4846. <p>According to the announcement from the Office of the Commissioner of Transport, the new system allows applicants to complete their application entirely online, using Aadhaar authentication. This digital upgrade makes it more convenient, faster, and user-friendly, especially for people living in remote or rural areas.</p>
  4847. <p>While the faceless process will serve the majority, applicants who prefer or need to apply offline will still be able to visit RTO, ARTO, ITI, or Polytechnic offices for document verification and driving test procedures. The dual-mode approach ensures inclusivity and accessibility for all segments of society.</p>
  4848. <p>The move aligns with the state’s larger mission to provide smart governance and reduce the administrative burden on both citizens and departments. By digitizing key transport services, Gujarat continues to lead in e-Governance innovation.</p>
  4849. <p><strong>Citizens can now apply for their learning licenses from the comfort of their homes without standing in long queues—making the process smoother, quicker, and more efficient.</strong></p>

  5065. <p>In a remarkable advancement in quantum technology, scientists from the Raman Research Institute (RRI) have developed a new quantum magnetometry technique that can measure magnetic fields in real-world environments—without the need for bulky magnetic shielding. The breakthrough has major implications for medical imaging, geophysics, space exploration, and quantum sensing.</p>
  5066. <p>Using a method called <strong>Raman-Driven Spin Noise Spectroscopy (RDSNS)</strong>, the researchers built a compact, all-optical magnetometer capable of operating with high sensitivity in the presence of environmental noise. Unlike traditional magnetometers, which require silent labs and complex shielding, this device can be used in hospitals, factories, mines, or even in orbit.</p>
  5067. <p>The RDSNS technique involves analyzing the quantum “jitters” or spin noise of Rubidium atoms when exposed to a magnetic field. By shining lasers and reading the response of the atoms, the team was able to detect magnetic field strengths accurately without disturbing the atoms. The system achieved a sensitivity of 30 picotesla per root hertz at 100 Hz—matching the performance of many large lab-based systems.</p>
  5068. <p>What makes the device revolutionary is its large dynamic range, compact design, and resistance to electrical and mechanical interference. This allows for precise magnetic field measurements across a wide range—from extremely weak to very strong fields—making it adaptable for applications in medicine, deep-earth exploration, and space missions.</p>
  5069. <p>Lead researcher Sayari, a PhD student, highlighted that this innovation successfully breaks the long-standing trade-off between sensitivity and dynamic range in magnetometry. Their work, supported by India’s <strong>National Quantum Mission</strong>, was recently published in the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement journal.</p>
  5070. <p>Looking ahead, the RRI team plans to integrate squeezed light and MEMS-based miniaturization to make the device even more efficient and portable. Their ultimate goal is to use this technology to explore deeper quantum phenomena and create field-deployable quantum sensors capable of unlocking new scientific and industrial frontiers.</p>
  5071. <p>According to Dr. Saptarishi Chaudhuri, head of the QuMIX lab at RRI, “Our approach reflects India’s growing ambition in the global quantum technology race.” This innovation positions India among the frontrunners in developing next-generation quantum sensing tools.</p>

  5224. <p>In a major move toward reinforcing India’s maritime and coastal defense systems, the Indian Navy has officially signed a contract with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Bengaluru, for the implementation of the National Maritime Domain Awareness (NMDA) Project. The agreement was formalized in the presence of Vice Admiral Tarun Sobti, Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff, and Shri Manoj Jain, Chairman and Managing Director of BEL.</p>
  5225. <p>The NMDA Project represents a significant leap in India’s strategic maritime infrastructure. It is designed to integrate the collection, analysis, and dissemination of critical maritime data across a wide range of stakeholders, including naval and civilian agencies. The core objective is to ensure seamless and real-time maritime domain awareness to strengthen surveillance, coordination, and quick response mechanisms.</p>
  5226. <p>Central to the initiative is the upgrade of the existing National Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (NC3I) Network into the advanced NMDA Network. This includes the deployment of cutting-edge AI-enabled software for smarter data processing and threat detection. Furthermore, the Information Management and Analysis Centre (IMAC) in Gurugram — the nerve center of the current NC3I network — will be transformed into a Multi-Agency NMDA Centre, with dedicated representatives from various national defense and security organizations.</p>
  5227. <p>The NMDA Project will be delivered on a turnkey basis, ensuring a comprehensive end-to-end solution managed directly by the Indian Navy. The initiative not only underscores India&#8217;s commitment to maritime security but also showcases the power of collaboration between the public defense sector and India’s strategic industries like BEL.</p>
  5228. <p>With growing geopolitical activity and increased maritime traffic in the Indian Ocean Region, the NMDA Project is expected to significantly enhance India&#8217;s coastal surveillance capabilities. It also reflects the broader “Atmanirbhar Bharat” vision of promoting indigenous defense solutions backed by technological innovation.</p>

  5276. <p>In a significant step toward enhancing indigenous defence capabilities, the Indian Navy has successfully conducted user trials of the Extended Range Anti-Submarine Rocket (ERASR) from <strong>INS Kavaratti</strong>. These trials, held between June 23 and July 07, 2025, marked a key milestone in India’s anti-submarine warfare preparedness.</p>
  5277. <p>ERASR is a completely indigenous anti-submarine rocket designed by DRDO’s Armament Research &#038; Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune, in collaboration with the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory and the Naval Science &#038; Technological Laboratory. Specifically designed to be launched from the Indian Navy’s Indigenous Rocket Launcher (IRL) systems, the ERASR features a twin-rocket motor configuration that supports a wide range of operational distances with high accuracy and consistency.</p>
  5278. <p>The trials included a total of 17 rockets, all of which were successfully tested at various ranges. Key performance metrics such as range capability, electronic time fuze accuracy, and warhead effectiveness were fully achieved, confirming the system’s operational readiness. Notably, the ERASR uses an indigenously developed Electronic Time Fuze, showcasing India&#8217;s self-reliance in advanced military technology.</p>
  5279. <p>Production partners Bharat Dynamics Limited (Hyderabad) and Solar Defence &#038; Aerospace Limited (Nagpur) played crucial roles in the development of this system. With trials now completed, the Indian Navy is expected to induct the ERASR into its arsenal, bolstering its undersea strike capability.</p>
  5280. <p>Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO, the Indian Navy, and the involved industry partners for this accomplishment. He emphasized that the induction of ERASR will significantly enhance the Navy’s combat strength. Dr. Samir V. Kamat, Secretary of Defence R&#038;D and Chairman of DRDO, also lauded the teams behind the successful development and trials.</p>
  5281. <p>The ERASR programme not only reinforces India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) mission but also strengthens national security by equipping the Navy with next-generation anti-submarine warfare capabilities.</p>

  5361. <h2><strong>Sabih Khan Succeeds Jeff Williams as Apple COO</strong></h2>
  5362. <p>Apple has officially named <strong>Sabih Khan</strong> as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO), with the leadership transition set to take place later this month. Khan will succeed Jeff Williams, who is set to retire after decades of service. This long-planned succession underlines Apple’s confidence in Khan’s capabilities, especially at a time when operational resilience is more critical than ever.</p>
  5363. <h2><strong>Long-Served Veteran with Deep Supply Chain Expertise</strong></h2>
  5364. <p>Sabih Khan has been with Apple since 1995, steadily rising through the ranks. In 2019, he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Operations. Over the years, he has overseen the development of Apple’s global supply chain and played a major role in sustainability initiatives. Tim Cook praised him as a “brilliant strategist” who helped reduce Apple’s carbon footprint by 60% and led several U.S. manufacturing expansions.</p>
  5365. <h2><strong>Strategic Continuity and Operational Resilience</strong></h2>
  5366. <p>Khan’s appointment comes at a time when Apple is looking to diversify its manufacturing operations, especially outside China. As trade tensions grow globally, his leadership is expected to support the company’s shift toward new production hubs like India and Vietnam. His operational experience also makes him ideal for navigating global logistics challenges.</p>
  5367. <h2><strong>Design Oversight Shifts to CEO</strong></h2>
  5368. <p>After Jeff Williams’ departure, Apple’s design and health divisions — previously under his leadership — will now report directly to CEO Tim Cook. This streamlines Apple&#8217;s executive structure and signifies more centralized control over design innovation and user health technologies.</p>
  5369. <h2><strong>What This Means for Apple</strong></h2>
  5370. <ul>
  5371. <li><strong>Supply Chain Resilience:</strong> Khan will likely drive diversification away from China, boosting regional manufacturing.</li>
  5372. <li><strong>Green Operations:</strong> His history with Apple’s environmental efforts points to increased focus on sustainability.</li>
  5373. <li><strong>Investor Confidence:</strong> With a seasoned executive taking over, shareholders can expect continuity in quality and delivery.</li>
  5374. </ul>
  5375. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  5376. <p>Sabih Khan’s appointment as COO marks a milestone in Apple’s leadership history. His deep understanding of Apple’s supply chain, combined with a focus on sustainability, places the company in capable hands. With Tim Cook retaining control over design, and Khan handling operations, Apple seems ready for its next era of growth and innovation.</p>

  5412. <h2><strong>Life &#038; Early Years</strong></h2>

Despite initial criticism for <em>Kaagaz Ke Phool</em>, its reputation soared internationally during the 1980s.</p>
  5416. <h2><strong>Centenary Tributes &#038; Legacy</strong></h2>
  5417. <p>FTII and cultural organizations across India are hosting retrospectives, film appreciation courses, and panel discussions. Guru Dutt is often remembered as “the man behind the melancholy,” whose approach to music and emotion continues to inspire filmmakers.</p>
  5418. <h2><strong>Unfinished Dreams</strong></h2>
  5419. <p>Guru Dutt died tragically on October 10, 1964, at age 39. Projects like <em>Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi</em> remained incomplete, while discussions around his first-cousin ties to artists like Waheeda Rehman remain part of Bollywood lore.</p>

  5628. <h2><strong>When Is the Next Full Moon?</strong></h2>
  5629. <p>The next full moon will occur on <strong>Thursday, July 10, 2025</strong>. This full moon will reach peak illumination at approximately <strong>04:37 AM UTC</strong>, which translates to **10:07 AM IST** (Indian Standard Time). Skywatchers across the globe can expect a brilliant moonrise and clear views — weather permitting.</p>
  5630. <h2><strong>What Is the Name of the July Full Moon?</strong></h2>
  5631. <p>In many cultures, the July full moon is referred to as the <strong>Buck Moon</strong>. This name originated from Native American traditions and refers to the time when new antlers begin to grow on male deer (bucks). Other regional names include the Thunder Moon (due to frequent storms) and Hay Moon (linked to seasonal harvesting).</p>
  5632. <h2><strong>Viewing Tips for the July 2025 Full Moon</strong></h2>
  5633. <p>For the best visibility, try to view the full moon during moonrise or moonset when it appears larger near the horizon. Find a dark spot away from city lights, such as a rooftop or open field. A smartphone camera or basic DSLR can capture clear shots without the need for telescopes.</p>
  5634. <h2><strong>How Often Does a Full Moon Occur?</strong></h2>
  5635. <p>A full moon occurs roughly once every 29.5 days — the length of a full lunar cycle. Each full moon brings subtle variations depending on Earth&#8217;s position, the moon’s distance, and the tilt of the orbit. The next full moon after July 10 will be on <strong>August 9, 2025</strong>.</p>
  5636. <h2><strong>Why Does the Full Moon Matter?</strong></h2>
  5637. <p>Full moons have been celebrated for centuries across various cultures, often marking rituals, harvests, and important calendar dates. Today, they are popular for moon meditation, night hikes, stargazing, and even photography sessions. In astrology, the full moon symbolizes completion and release.</p>
  5638. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  5639. <p>Whether you&#8217;re a seasoned astronomer or just a curious stargazer, the <strong>July 2025 full moon</strong> offers a chance to pause and look up. With clear skies and a little planning, you’ll witness one of nature’s most beautiful and recurring events. Don’t miss it!</p>

  5816. <h2><strong>What Is TeraBox?</strong></h2>
  5817. <p><a href="https://www.terabox.com/" target="_blank">TeraBox</a> is a free cloud storage service that offers users 1TB (1024GB) of space upon signing up. It&#8217;s available through web browsers, Android, iOS, and desktop apps. TeraBox is primarily used for storing large files like videos, documents, and backups. It has recently gained popularity due to its massive free storage offer, which is significantly higher than what services like Google Drive or Dropbox provide on their free plans.</p>
  5818. <h2><strong>Is TeraBox Really Free?</strong></h2>
  5819. <p>Yes, TeraBox offers 1TB of storage without charging users upfront. However, there are limitations. On the free plan, file sizes are capped, download speeds may be throttled, and there are occasional advertisements within the app interface. Paid plans offer more features such as faster speeds, larger uploads, and extended file retention periods.</p>
  5820. <h2><strong>How Does TeraBox Work?</strong></h2>
  5821. <p>After signing up with an email or phone number, users can upload files via the mobile app or website. Files are stored on cloud servers and can be accessed from anywhere. TeraBox also allows users to generate shareable links to send files to others, although these links do not support direct image embedding for blogs or SEO.</p>
  5822. <h2><strong>Is TeraBox Safe and Legal?</strong></h2>
  5823. <p>As of now, TeraBox operates legally and is used by millions globally. The company claims to use encrypted storage and secure access protocols. That said, its parent company is based in China, which has led to some user concerns regarding privacy laws. Users should avoid storing highly sensitive documents unless they&#8217;re encrypted personally before upload. There have been no major legal violations publicly reported as of this writing.</p>
  5824. <h2><strong>Can You Use TeraBox for Hosting Blog Images?</strong></h2>
  5825. <p>Technically, you can upload images and share them using public links. However, TeraBox does not provide direct-access image URLs (like ending in .jpg or .png) that can be used in the <code>&lt;img src=""&gt;</code> tag. This makes it a poor choice for SEO or Google Discover image hosting, as Google bots cannot crawl or index these images. If you&#8217;re blogging, it&#8217;s better to use your own site’s media library or platforms like Cloudinary or Imgur Pro.</p>
  5826. <h2><strong>Pros and Cons of TeraBox</strong></h2>
  5827. <ul>
  5828. <li><strong>Pros:</strong> Huge 1TB free storage, supports large file types, easy cross-device access.</li>
  5829. <li><strong>Cons:</strong> Not ideal for SEO, no true direct links for embedding, limited control over content indexing.</li>
  5830. </ul>
  5831. <h2><strong>Should You Use TeraBox?</strong></h2>
  5832. <p>TeraBox is a great option if you&#8217;re looking for massive free storage for personal files, videos, or backups. It’s especially useful for people who want to offload space from their mobile devices. However, if you’re a blogger, content creator, or website owner who needs media visibility on Google, this platform may not suit your needs due to its SEO limitations.</p>
  5833. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  5834. <p>TeraBox is changing the game by offering 1TB of free storage in a market where most competitors offer just 5–15GB. It&#8217;s legal, safe to use for general storage, and well-suited for casual users. But for professional blogging, website image hosting, or SEO-related media storage, alternatives like Cloudinary, WordPress media, or dedicated CDN platforms are much more effective.</p>

  5853. ]]></description>
  5854. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Why Are Shoes a Big Deal at Airport Security?</strong></h2>
  5855. <p>Since 2006, most travelers have been required to remove their shoes during airport security screening. This policy was introduced after a failed shoe bombing attempt, making footwear one of the key focus areas during scans. Shoes are screened separately to ensure they do not contain hidden items or threats.</p>
  5856. <h2><strong>Do You Still Have to Remove Your Shoes in 2025?</strong></h2>
  5857. <p>Yes — most passengers must still remove their shoes at security checkpoints. However, several groups qualify for exemptions:</p>
  5858. <ul>
  5859. <li><strong>TSA PreCheck</strong> members are allowed to keep their shoes on.</li>
  5860. <li><strong>Children under 12</strong> and <strong>seniors 75 and older</strong> are exempt in most cases.</li>
  5861. <li><strong>Travelers with medical needs or disabilities</strong> may request special accommodations.</li>
  5862. </ul>
  5863. <h2><strong>How to Avoid Removing Shoes at Security</strong></h2>
  5864. <p>To skip shoe removal entirely, travelers can sign up for the following programs:</p>
  5865. <ul>
  5866. <li><strong>TSA PreCheck</strong> – Offers faster lines and no need to remove shoes, belts, or light jackets.</li>
  5867. <li><strong>Global Entry</strong> – Includes <strong><a href="https://www.tsa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TSA</a></strong> PreCheck and is ideal for international travelers returning to the U.S.</li>
  5868. <li><strong>CLEAR</strong> – While it doesn&#8217;t exempt you from shoe removal, it speeds up the identity verification process.</li>
  5869. </ul>
  5870. <h2><strong>Tips for Faster Shoe Screening (If You Must Remove Them)</strong></h2>
  5871. <p>For travelers not enrolled in expedited screening programs, the following tips can help speed things up:</p>
  5872. <ul>
  5873. <li>Wear slip-on shoes to save time during removal and re-wearing.</li>
  5874. <li>Avoid footwear with metal parts, which may trigger alarms.</li>
  5875. <li>Place your shoes flat in the tray, away from electronics or liquids.</li>
  5876. <li>Wear socks — going barefoot through security is common and often unsanitary.</li>
  5877. </ul>
  5878. <h2><strong>International Airports: What About Outside the U.S.?</strong></h2>
  5879. <p>Airport security rules differ globally. In many European and Asian airports, shoe removal is not mandatory unless an alarm is triggered during the body scan. For example:</p>
  5880. <ul>
  5881. <li><strong>United Kingdom:</strong> Shoe removal is situational and often not required.</li>
  5882. <li><strong>Germany and Japan:</strong> Passengers usually keep their shoes on unless further screening is needed.</li>
  5883. </ul>
  5884. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  5885. <p>While removing shoes at airport security may seem inconvenient, it&#8217;s still a required part of TSA protocol for most travelers. Thankfully, there are reliable ways to skip the hassle — such as enrolling in TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. Whether flying domestically or internationally, knowing these shoe rules helps avoid delays and makes your travel experience smoother.</p>

  6006. <p>As part of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025, the Gujarat government has launched a significant initiative to uplift cooperative efforts in the state. With the support of the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, the first-ever cold-processed groundnut oil processing unit has been inaugurated at the Khambhaliya Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC), located in Devbhumi Dwarka district. This innovative project, established at a cost exceeding ₹1 crore, is now fully operational and receiving positive feedback from the public for delivering 100% pure “Nirmal” brand groundnut oil.</p>
  6007. <p>This initiative is a milestone in ensuring that citizens have access to high-quality edible oils while simultaneously supporting local farmers. The processing unit was made possible through persistent efforts of APMC officials and staff, who worked tirelessly to make this venture a reality. Since its launch, the unit has witnessed a consistent rise in consumer usage, reflecting both public trust and increased production output.</p>
  6008. <p>Under the visionary guidance of Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel and leadership of Cooperative Minister Shri Jagdish Vishwakarma, this effort reflects the government’s commitment to empower agricultural marketing committees across Gujarat. These APMCs were formed to facilitate fair trade of farm produce, and with this latest intervention, the Khambhaliya APMC has taken a unique step forward in offering pure, unadulterated groundnut oil directly to citizens.</p>
  6009. <p>The Gujarat government has also implemented several schemes to promote development of such processing units. Notably, under the “Processing Unit Scheme,” 50% of the total cost of establishing such facilities is subsidized by the state government through the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation, and Farmers Welfare. This ensures affordability and widespread adoption among other APMCs across the state.</p>
  6010. <p>Importantly, the oil is made using G-20 grade groundnuts native to Devbhumi Dwarka region. Before processing, the groundnuts go through an advanced cleaning process involving graders, de-stoners, and round grading machines. This removes impurities like stones, dust, broken kernels, and harmful chemical traces. Once purified, the groundnuts undergo cold processing without the use of any chemicals. To maintain optimal quality, the oil is filtered again post-processing, ensuring controlled levels of FFA and PV — indicators of oil quality and freshness. The end result is a premium, almost organic oil that is safe and healthy for consumption.</p>
  6011. <p>This development is not only a triumph for cooperative infrastructure but also a meaningful step toward healthier dietary options and sustainable agricultural practices in Gujarat.</p>

  6059. <p>In a historic milestone for India’s cooperative sector, Union Home and Cooperation Minister <strong>Shri Amit Shah</strong> and Gujarat Chief Minister <strong>Shri Bhupendra Patel</strong> laid the foundation stone of the <strong>world’s first cooperative university</strong>—<strong>Tribhuvandas Cooperative University</strong>—in Anand on the occasion of International Day of Cooperatives.</p>
  6060. <p>Spanning <strong>125 acres</strong> and built with an investment of ₹500 crore, the university aims to become a hub for research, policy design, and skill development in the cooperative domain. It is named after <strong>Tribhuvandas Patel</strong>, the visionary who founded the Kheda Milk Cooperative in 1946, a movement that ultimately gave birth to Amul.</p>
  6061. <p>Speaking at the ceremony, Shri Amit Shah emphasized that the university would provide <strong>trained manpower for new cooperative ventures</strong> like taxi and insurance services, helping eliminate nepotism and favoritism in cooperative recruitments. “This university will train not just managers but committed cooperative leaders in the spirit of Tribhuvandas Patel,” he said.</p>
  6062. <p>The initiative stems from the <strong>creation of a dedicated Ministry of Cooperation</strong> under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The ministry has already implemented <strong>seven major policy reforms</strong> to enhance transparency and inclusiveness in the sector, after consultations with top cooperative leaders across the country.</p>
  6063. <p>Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel noted that this university will mark a “<strong>new era in India’s cooperative culture</strong>,” empowering both rural and urban youth with technical, financial, and governance skills. “The university will not only offer academic learning but will instill the values of service, innovation, and accountability,” he added.</p>
  6064. <p>Senior dignitaries including Union Ministers of State for Cooperation Shri Krishna Pal and Shri Murlidhar Mohol, Gujarat Health Minister Shri Rishikesh Patel, Cooperation Minister Shri Jagdish Vishwakarma, and NCDC Secretary Dr. Ashish Bhutani were also present. Tributes were paid to Dr. Verghese Kurien and Smt. Ela Bhatt for their roles in India’s cooperative success stories.</p>
  6065. <p>The foundation ceremony also included the release of <strong>two NCERT textbook modules</strong> on cooperation, reflecting a broader effort to integrate cooperative thinking into India’s educational curriculum.</p>
  6066. <p>With over <strong>40 lakh employees and 80 lakh board members</strong> involved in India’s cooperative sector—impacting nearly one in every four citizens—this university is set to become the <strong>epicenter of global cooperative education, research, and policy formulation</strong>.</p>

  6429. <p>In a bold effort to reduce single-use plastic, over 1 lakh citizens in Gujarat have embraced cloth bags distributed through automated &#8220;Bag ATM&#8221; vending machines across the state—within just 200 days of launch.</p>
  6430. <p>These Bag ATMs are part of a larger state-led initiative aimed at promoting environmental sustainability. On the occasion of World Environment Day this year, Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel launched 260 new cloth bag vending machines, reinforcing the campaign for a “Plastic-Free India.”</p>

  6432. <p>Located at major temples such as Ambaji, Somnath, Dwarka, Shamlaji, Salangpur, and ISKCON, the vending machines offer cloth bags for ₹5 or ₹10, payable via coin or QR code. These bags are used to distribute offerings, ensuring that even traditional rituals align with eco-conscious practices.</p>
  6433. <p>So far, over 20,000 cloth bags have been distributed via these newly installed machines. The initiative not only curbs plastic use but also empowers women—since all the bags are procured from self-help groups run by women, creating livelihood opportunities and fostering self-reliance.</p>

  6485. <p>Vadodara, July 2 — Gujarat has long been at the forefront of nurturing intellectual growth, and standing testimony to this legacy is Asia’s only cooperative society of public libraries, headquartered in Vadodara. Known as the <strong>Gujarat Pustakalay Sahayak Sahkari Mandal</strong>, the cooperative has completed a remarkable 101 years in service.</p>
  6486. <p>The roots of this movement date back to 1910, when Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda established a separate library department, initiating a vibrant reading culture across his princely state. By 1924, recognizing the need for organized support, the cooperative was officially formed, thanks to visionary efforts by Motibhai Amin and others.</p>
  6487. <p>Over time, more than <strong>1200 public libraries</strong> across Gujarat became members of this mandal. Unlike traditional cooperatives, it welcomes only public libraries—not individuals—as its members. Today, it remains the only such body of its kind in all of Asia, according to Mandal President Shri Thakorbhai Patel.</p>
  6488. <p>The mandal’s achievements include the <strong>publication of over 725 books</strong>, many by authors whose manuscripts were initially rejected by mainstream publishers. Notable first-time publications supported by the cooperative include works by Yogeshwar, Babu Pravin Vaidya, Madhav Mo. Chaudhary, Navneet J. Sevak, Rishik Mehta, Jayanti Dalal, Gunvant Bhatt, and Khalil Dhantejvi. The spiritual classic “Shrimad Bhagwat Rahasya” by Shree Dongarjee Maharaj has seen more than 20 editions published through this body.</p>
  6489. <p>Back in the 1920s, Baroda State boasted more than 2,300 libraries, and by 1925, the Central Library alone housed 1.05 lakh books. The reach of public libraries extended to over 70% of the population at the time. Separate reading rooms for women and facilities in smaller towns were a testament to Sayajirao’s inclusive vision.</p>
  6490. <p>Today, the cooperative operates from its Vasaht campus in Vadodara. It offers books at a permanent <strong>10% discount</strong> to readers, with an additional 10% off during Chaturmas. The Mandal also conducts annual reading proficiency tests and continues to serve as a hub for educational, cultural, and literary enrichment.</p>
  6491. <p>While Kerala has a cooperative for authors, this library-centric cooperative model remains unique to Gujarat—and to Asia. As it enters its 102nd year, the Gujarat Pustakalay Sahayak Sahkari Mandal continues to prove that when knowledge is shared cooperatively, it creates a more enlightened and connected society.</p>

  6540. <p>Vadodara, July 2 — In a powerful example of grassroots empowerment, <strong>Dr. Jaimini Jaiswal</strong>, a renowned dermatologist and surgeon, has been elected as the sarpanch of Intvad, a remote village in Savli taluka of Vadodara district. Her journey from healing patients in the city to leading a rural village is an inspiring story of leadership, compassion, and change.</p>
  6541. <p>Dr. Jaiswal, a medical professional with a thriving urban practice, first sensed the need for change while visiting her ancestral village during Diwali. She was struck by the lack of basic infrastructure and decided to take on the responsibility of local development head-on.</p>
  6542. <p>Fueled by a vision to uplift public health, education, water supply, and local infrastructure, she decided to contest the gram panchayat elections. The seat being reserved for women seemed almost fated—and the villagers responded with overwhelming support, electing her with a decisive majority.</p>
  6543. <p>“As a doctor, I served people’s health. Now as a sarpanch, I have the opportunity to transform lives,” she said. Dr. Jaiswal emphasized that her leadership will focus on holistic village development with a special emphasis on inclusive governance.</p>
  6544. <p>She credits her leadership spirit to her parents and in-laws, who she says encouraged her to think beyond boundaries. Though she never imagined herself entering politics, she now sees it as a calling to bring dignity, progress, and practical solutions to her village.</p>
  6545. <p>Dr. Jaiswal’s victory symbolizes more than political success—it is a step forward for <strong>women’s empowerment</strong> in rural India. By breaking conventional norms and leading with knowledge and empathy, she has become a torchbearer for a new generation of educated women leaders.</p>
  6546. <p>Her story stands as a testimony that when educated and capable women lead from the front, development is not just possible—it becomes transformative. Intvad village is now being seen as a model of hope and empowerment across Gujarat.</p>

  6595. <p>Gandhinagar, July 4 — In a major move to boost sanitation and community-led development in Gujarat, Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel announced the doubling of monthly per capita sanitation grant from ₹4 to ₹8. Addressing a gathering of newly elected sarpanches and gram panchayat members, the CM emphasized creating a competitive atmosphere among villages to achieve excellence in cleanliness and governance.</p>

  6597. <p>“Every village should compete in cleanliness. Let us build pride in our villages through our collective efforts,” the CM declared. He also highlighted the transformation in rural governance and infrastructure under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s 11 years of leadership, pointing to major achievements like housing for 4 crore rural poor and internet connectivity in over 2 lakh gram panchayats.</p>
  6598. <p>Union Jal Shakti Minister Shri C.R. Paatil, who also attended the event, likened sarpanches to ‘village-level Chief Ministers’ and emphasized their moral duty in ensuring inclusive development and democratic governance. He praised Gujarat for its record number of consensus-based “Samras” panchayats and lauded the strengthening of Panchayati Raj institutions.</p>
  6599. <p>Minister Paatil also urged sarpanches to accelerate implementation of key programs like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Jal Jeevan Mission, and rainwater conservation. He noted the nationwide impact of these programs, including over 60 crore citizens now using toilets and 15.65 crore households receiving piped water.</p>
  6600. <p>Minister of Rural Development Shri Raghavji Patel reiterated the state government&#8217;s commitment to PM Modi’s vision of &#8220;Urban-like amenities in rural areas.&#8221; He credited the leadership of CM Bhupendra Patel for Gujarat&#8217;s all-round rural advancement through flagship schemes like PM Awas Yojana, MGNREGA, and E-Gram initiatives.</p>

  6796. <p>New Delhi, July 2 — In a progressive move toward sustainable mining and community welfare, the Ministry of Coal is set to launch <strong>RECLAIM</strong>, a comprehensive framework for community engagement and development in the context of mine closures. The initiative will be officially launched on <strong>4th July 2025</strong> by Union Minister for Coal and Mines, Shri G. Kishan Reddy.</p>
  6797. <p>Developed by the Coal Controller Organisation under the Ministry, in collaboration with the <strong>Heartfulness Institute</strong>, the RECLAIM framework is a first-of-its-kind step-by-step guide tailored specifically for India’s mining regions. It aims to ensure that communities living around mines are not left behind as coal operations wind down, but are instead supported through a just, inclusive, and sustainable transition.</p>
  6798. <p>RECLAIM stands for a structured and participatory approach to <strong>Responsible Engagement and Community-Led Action in Mine closure</strong>. It’s not just about restoring land—it’s about restoring lives. The framework includes practical tools, templates, and field-tested methods to support local communities through each phase of mine closure and repurposing.</p>
  6799. <p>Special emphasis has been placed on <strong>gender inclusivity</strong>, representation of <strong>vulnerable groups</strong>, and coordination with <strong>Panchayati Raj Institutions</strong>. This ensures that local voices are not only heard but actively shape the development process in a post-mining scenario.</p>
  6800. <p>By institutionalizing these practices, RECLAIM aspires to deliver a future that blends <strong>ecological restoration</strong> with <strong>social and economic resilience</strong>. It&#8217;s a vision of mine closure that doesn’t stop at shutting down operations—it begins a new chapter for the communities that once powered India&#8217;s industrial progress.</p>

  6849. <p>New Delhi, July 3 — In a significant move to promote science education and innovation in eastern India, Odisha’s Minister for Food Supplies &#038; Consumer Welfare and Science &#038; Technology, Sri Krushna Chandra Patra, met Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh in the capital today. The primary agenda: central support for a new state-of-the-art Science City in Bhubaneswar.</p>
  6850. <p>The Odisha Government has already earmarked 100 acres of land for the proposed facility. The envisioned Science City will include immersive learning spaces, cutting-edge exhibits, and advanced research infrastructure, all aimed at sparking scientific curiosity—especially among the youth.</p>
  6851. <p>“We believe central support will be instrumental in realizing this vision,” said Patra, as he formally submitted the proposal during the meeting. The project is aligned with the national goal of nurturing scientific temper and strengthening India&#8217;s role as a global innovation hub.</p>
  6852. <p>Responding positively, Dr. Jitendra Singh assured the delegation that the Centre would consider the proposal seriously. He also suggested enhancing existing infrastructure such as CSIR labs and space research centers in Odisha, which could complement the new Science City and drive broader scientific advancement in the region.</p>
  6853. <p>In addition to the Science City, Patra put forward several other proposals, including:</p>
  6854. <ul>
  6855. <li>Establishment of an Astronomy Observatory</li>
  6856. <li>A Bay of Bengal Coastal Observatory under the Ministry of Earth Sciences</li>
  6857. <li>An Intellectual Property and Patent Facilitation Centre</li>
  6858. <li>Projects under the Department of Biotechnology</li>
  6859. </ul>
  6860. <p>He also requested support for initiatives under the National Council for Science Museums and Ministry of Culture.</p>
  6861. <p>Dr. Singh encouraged Odisha to tap into the Central Government’s Bio-E3 policy by establishing a Bio E-Cell. Highlighting the state’s strengths in coastal and mineral sectors, he suggested leveraging these assets through national missions such as the Deep Ocean Mission for greater public benefit.</p>
  6862. <p>This high-level interaction is part of a broader push toward cooperative federalism, aligning state-level scientific ambitions with national policy frameworks to accelerate India’s progress in science and technology.</p>

  6911. <p>New Delhi, July 2 — The third edition of the National Conference on Responsible Business Conduct (NCRBC) 2025 opened with a strong call for trust-based corporate governance, as Minister of State for Corporate Affairs Shri Harsh Malhotra inaugurated the event at the Taj Palace, New Delhi. The flagship conference, organized by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), is themed “Integrating ESG for Viksit Bharat.”</p>
  6912. <p>Addressing over 300 senior corporate leaders, ESG professionals, policymakers, and international delegates, Shri Malhotra emphasized that India is now shifting from a compliance-driven regime to one anchored in trust and conscience. “India is no longer catching up; India is ready to lead,” he affirmed, underscoring that responsible business conduct must become central to business strategy.</p>
  6913. <p>He highlighted the Ministry&#8217;s key reforms such as the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC), Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR), the MCA21 digital governance platform, and the decriminalisation of over 180 statutory provisions via the Jan Vishwas Act. The Minister praised IICA for its work in strengthening ethical governance and board capacity-building across startups, MSMEs, and listed companies alike.</p>
  6914. <p>Shri Sanjeev Sanyal, Member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, offered a historical perspective, cautioning against importing ESG frameworks that disregard India&#8217;s socio-economic context. Referring to Kautilya’s Arthashastra, he asserted that India has long embraced principles of ethical governance, calling for localized and development-aligned ESG metrics.</p>
  6915. <p>UNICEF Representative to India, Ms. Cynthia McCaffrey, stressed the importance of child welfare in ESG policies, stating, “ESG is incomplete without healthy children and families.” She urged corporations to integrate child rights, nutrition, education, and community well-being into their strategies.</p>
  6916. <p>Prof. Garima Dadhich of IICA noted the conference’s evolution from “awareness to action,” and reaffirmed IICA’s role as a hub for ESG knowledge and collaboration. Shri Gyaneshwar Kumar Singh, DG and CEO of IICA, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing indigenous ESG frameworks and evidence-based transformation suited to India’s unique ecosystem.</p>
  6917. <p>Day 1 featured four thematic panels:</p>
  6918. <ul>
  6919. <li><strong>The Rise of ESG in the Boardroom</strong> – led by Smt. Ravneet Kaur and senior leaders from Mahindra, ONGC, and ICAI.</li>
  6920. <li><strong>Sustainable Finance</strong> – explored green bonds and impact investing with inputs from SEBI, NABARD, and India INX.</li>
  6921. <li><strong>EU CSDDD and India</strong> – addressed export-oriented ESG compliance and market access.</li>
  6922. <li><strong>Workforce of the Future</strong> – focused on ESG integration in workforce planning and skilling for green jobs.</li>
  6923. </ul>
  6924. <p>Day 2 promises further deep-dives into ESG adoption across industries, resilient supply chains, and global cooperation. International partners including UNICEF India, ICAI, ILO, GAIN, and the Responsible Business Alliance are supporting this initiative to align India’s business ethos with its developmental vision for 2047.</p>

  7171. <p>The <strong>Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA)</strong> to the Government of India released a landmark report titled <strong>“ZET Adoption in India and Its Impact on Emission and Energy”</strong> on July 1, 2025. The study focuses on the future of freight transport in India and explores how <strong>Battery Electric Trucks (BETs)</strong> can lead the shift to a low-emission economy.</p>
  7172. <p>The report outlines how India&#8217;s freight sector—driven largely by Medium and Heavy-Duty Trucks (M&#038;HDTs)—accounts for nearly 70% of logistics operations but also consumes around 40% of transport fuel and significantly contributes to emissions. Transitioning this segment to <strong>Zero-Emission Trucks (ZETs)</strong> is projected to dramatically reduce India’s environmental footprint by mid-century.</p>
  7173. <p>Due to current constraints in green hydrogen production and limited fueling infrastructure, BETs are seen as the most viable ZET option in the short to medium term. The report draws from expert interviews across OEMs, fleet operators, and government bodies, combined with historical data from SIAM, MoRTH, MoPNG, and other sources.</p>
  7174. <p>Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, emphasized: “<em>The adoption of ZETs is a crucial step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, and enhancing energy security. Electrifying freight is pivotal to our net-zero journey</em>.”</p>
  7175. <p>The report’s findings underscore the importance of early-stage policy support, such as:</p>
  7176. <ul>
  7177. <li>Targeted fiscal incentives</li>
  7178. <li>Custom-built electric truck platforms for Indian conditions</li>
  7179. <li>Scalable charging infrastructure</li>
  7180. </ul>
  7181. <p>These measures can build market confidence and trigger large-scale adoption across India’s freight corridors. The report also highlights the role of public-private collaboration and data-driven policymaking in transforming India’s logistics sector.</p>
  7182. <p>The full report is available on the PSA Office website:<br />

  7295. <p>Speaking at the <strong>77th Foundation Day of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)</strong> in New Delhi, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Shri <strong>Hardeep Singh Puri</strong> reflected on India’s transformation into the world’s fourth-largest economy. He credited the shift to bold reforms, digital innovation, and resilient governance since 2014.</p>
  7296. <p>“India’s GDP has more than doubled—from USD 2.1 trillion in 2014 to USD 4.3 trillion in 2025,” the Minister stated. “We have just surpassed Japan and are well on our way to overtaking Germany to become the third-largest economy by 2030.”</p>
  7297. <p>Highlighting social inclusion, Shri Puri noted that over <strong>27 crore people have moved out of multidimensional poverty</strong>, and landmark welfare schemes like <strong>Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana</strong> and the <strong>Jal Jeevan Mission</strong> have reached crores of households. <strong>Ayushman Bharat</strong> now offers ₹5 lakh in health coverage to over 70 crore individuals.</p>
  7298. <p>He pointed to India’s <strong>foreign direct investment inflows</strong>, which have surged by 143% since 2014, and the growing number of source countries—from 89 to 112. Reforms such as <strong>GST, IBC, DBT</strong>, and the scrapping of over 25,000 compliances have streamlined the business environment.</p>
  7299. <p>“India is not just growing—it is evolving. And this evolution is data-driven and digitally enabled,” Shri Puri emphasized, adding that the country now leads the world in real-time digital transactions through UPI, which serves over 500 million users.</p>
  7300. <p>On tax administration, he praised the system’s efficiency: ITR filings have more than doubled since FY 2013–14, with 95% processed within 30 days. He noted how every rupee collected directly translates to public welfare—LPG for rural homes, pensions for the elderly, and job creation for youth.</p>
  7301. <p>He also showcased the success of the <strong>Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana</strong>, which has delivered over 16.5 crore LPG connections, especially benefiting women and reducing household air pollution. Additionally, the market capitalization of Oil &#038; Gas PSUs has nearly doubled to ₹8.79 lakh crore since 2014.</p>
  7302. <p>In closing, Shri Puri urged chartered accountants to embrace <strong>AI, analytics, and automation</strong> to elevate their strategic role. “The profession must now combine numbers with insight, and compliance with innovation,” he said. “Transparency, efficiency, and accountability are non-negotiable if we are to build a <em>Viksit Bharat</em> by 2047.”</p>

  7351. <p>India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have moved closer to forging a robust industrial partnership focused on <strong>green steel, high-grade aluminium</strong>, and resilient supply chains. In a high-level meeting held under the India-UAE <strong>Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA)</strong> framework, Union Steel Minister Shri <strong>H.D. Kumaraswamy</strong> met UAE’s Minister of Economy, H.E. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, to explore strategic collaborations in metals and minerals.</p>
  7352. <p>During the meeting, Shri Kumaraswamy highlighted India&#8217;s emergence as the <strong>second-largest steel producer in the world</strong> and emphasized the country’s commitment to sustainable, high-value manufacturing. He noted that UAE could play a pivotal role in helping India achieve its <strong>300 million tonne steel production goal by 2030</strong>.</p>
  7353. <p>Both sides identified <strong>green steel and premium aluminium</strong> as key materials for growth in critical sectors such as automobiles, mobility, and advanced manufacturing. The Minister praised the UAE’s clean energy initiatives and global trade connectivity, calling them ideal enablers for industrial synergy.</p>
  7354. <p>Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) like <strong>SAIL, NMDC,</strong> and <strong>MECON</strong> were spotlighted as key players in this collaboration. SAIL is exploring long-term limestone sourcing agreements with UAE-based Stevin Rock LLC and is also positioning itself as a supplier of high-quality steel for UAE’s infrastructure growth.</p>
  7355. <p>NMDC, India’s leading iron ore producer, is seeking partnerships in mining operations, while MECON aims to contribute to oil &#038; gas, smart infrastructure, and metallurgical consulting across the Gulf.</p>
  7356. <p>All three CPSEs have recently opened <strong>offices in Dubai</strong>, providing a permanent presence for joint ventures, trade logistics, and tech exchange.</p>
  7357. <p>To deepen industrial engagement, Shri Kumaraswamy proposed creating a <strong>joint working group</strong> to identify CEPA-aligned opportunities and streamline logistics and policy frameworks. He invited UAE’s industrial leaders to visit India and explore its fast-evolving steel ecosystem.</p>
  7358. <p>“India doesn’t just see UAE as a market—we see a strategic partner in shaping the future of the global industrial economy,” the Minister remarked, closing the meeting with a shared resolve to accelerate joint projects in line with India’s $5 trillion economic vision.</p>

  7407. <p><strong>INS Udaygiri</strong>, the second stealth frigate under Project 17A, was formally delivered to the Indian Navy on July 1, 2025. Built by <strong>Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL)</strong> in Mumbai, the frigate represents the latest leap in India’s indigenous shipbuilding capabilities and naval strength.</p>
  7408. <p>Project 17A is a follow-on to the Shivalik-class (Project 17) frigates and includes seven multi-mission warships under construction at MDL and GRSE, Kolkata. These stealth frigates are built for operations in blue-water environments and are equipped to handle both conventional and asymmetric threats.</p>
  7409. <p>The new <strong>Udaygiri</strong> is a modern reincarnation of the erstwhile INS Udaygiri—a steam-powered vessel that served the nation for over three decades before being decommissioned in 2007. The new ship boasts cutting-edge stealth features, state-of-the-art weapons, and sensors, and was delivered in a record time of just <strong>37 months from launch</strong>.</p>
  7410. <p>With an enhanced hull that is over 4.5% larger than its predecessor, Udaygiri is powered by a Combined Diesel or Gas (CODOG) propulsion system that includes both diesel engines and gas turbines. The ship uses a <strong>Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP)</strong> system and features a fully integrated platform management system for superior efficiency and control.</p>
  7411. <p>Its combat capabilities are formidable, featuring a suite of supersonic surface-to-surface missiles, a medium-range surface-to-air missile system, a 76 mm main gun, and close-in weapon systems of 30 mm and 12.7 mm calibers.</p>
  7412. <p>The frigate is a true symbol of <strong>Aatmanirbharta in defence manufacturing</strong>, with major weapons and electronics sourced from Indian OEMs. The project has supported more than 200 MSMEs and generated over 4,000 direct jobs and 10,000+ indirect jobs, making it a cornerstone of both national security and industrial growth.</p>
  7413. <p>The remaining five frigates under Project 17A are under various stages of construction and are expected to be delivered by the end of 2026.</p>

  7462. <p><strong>INS Tamal</strong>, the Indian Navy’s latest multi-role stealth frigate, was officially commissioned on July 1, 2025, at Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad, Russia. The ceremony was attended by Vice Admiral Sanjay Jasjit Singh, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Western Naval Command, and top Indian and Russian naval officials.</p>
  7463. <p>Built under the Indo-Russian Project 1135.6, INS Tamal is the eighth ship in its series and the second of the Tushil-class follow-ons. It joins India’s Western Fleet—often referred to as ‘The Sword Arm’ of the Navy—under the command of Capt. Sridhar Tata, a specialist in gunnery and missile warfare.</p>
  7464. <p>The event featured a ceremonial Guard of Honour and a formal handover marked by the lowering of the Russian naval flag and hoisting of the Indian Naval Ensign. INS Tamal’s commissioning is seen as a symbol of the enduring Indo-Russian strategic partnership and technological collaboration, with 51 warships built through this cooperation over the past 65 years.</p>
  7465. <p>Vice Admiral Rajaram Swaminathan lauded the joint efforts of Indian and Russian engineers, shipbuilders, and OEMs, highlighting the vessel’s 26% indigenous components, including the BrahMos cruise missile and HUMSA-NG sonar system. These systems showcase India&#8217;s strides in self-reliance under the <strong>Aatmanirbhar Bharat</strong> and <strong>Make in India</strong> initiatives.</p>
  7466. <p>INS Tamal is a formidable platform, designed for full-spectrum blue-water operations. Its arsenal includes BrahMos supersonic missiles, Shtil-1 surface-to-air systems, anti-submarine torpedoes, advanced artillery, and integrated electronic warfare capabilities. It can also carry Kamov helicopters for anti-submarine and airborne surveillance missions.</p>
  7467. <p>The ship features advanced automation for nuclear, biological, and chemical defense, and integrates a Combat Management System that links all weapons and sensors for optimal tactical response. With a crew of 250 sailors and 26 officers, INS Tamal embodies its motto: <em>Sarvatra Sarvada Vijaya</em> – &#8220;Victory Always, Everywhere.&#8221;</p>
  7468. <p>It will now sail toward its homeport in Karwar, Karnataka, ready to begin operational deployments across the Indian Ocean. With its induction, the Indian Navy further strengthens its maritime dominance, preparedness, and strategic deterrence in the region.</p>

  7517. <p>The Union Cabinet has approved the construction of a <strong>4-lane highway between Paramakudi and Ramanathapuram</strong> in Tamil Nadu at a total capital cost of ₹1,853 crore. The 46.7 km stretch of NH-87 will be built using the <strong>Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM)</strong>, marking a major push toward improving regional connectivity and boosting economic growth.</p>
  7518. <p>Currently, the region relies heavily on a congested 2-lane highway and a mix of State Highways that can no longer handle the rising volume of traffic. The project aims to decongest this vital corridor, especially in key towns like <strong>Paramakudi, Sathirakudi, Achundanvayal,</strong> and <strong>Ramanathapuram</strong>.</p>
  7519. <p>Once completed, the upgraded corridor will provide seamless integration with <strong>five major National Highways (NH-38, NH-85, NH-36, NH-536, NH-32)</strong> and <strong>three State Highways (SH-47, SH-29, SH-34)</strong>. It will also improve access to <strong>Madurai Airport</strong>, <strong>Madurai and Rameshwaram railway stations</strong>, and the <strong>ports of Pamban and Rameswaram</strong>.</p>
  7520. <p>The Cabinet’s approval is expected to significantly enhance multimodal transport, reduce travel time, and ease goods movement across the <strong>Madurai–Rameshwaram–Dhanushkodi corridor</strong>. Officials project an estimated daily traffic volume of <strong>12,700 PCUs</strong> for FY25.</p>
  7521. <p>Importantly, the project is expected to create approximately <strong>8.4 lakh person-days of direct employment</strong> and <strong>10.45 lakh person-days indirectly</strong>—giving a much-needed boost to job creation in the region.</p>
  7522. <p>By upgrading this strategic stretch of NH-87, the government aims to unlock new avenues in tourism, trade, and industrial development—particularly enhancing access to pilgrimage destinations like Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi.</p>

  7605. <p>President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, inaugurated a series of new facilities and laid the foundation stone for upcoming infrastructure projects at <strong>Mahayogi Gorakhnath University</strong> in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, on July 1, 2025.</p>
  7606. <p>The event marked the opening of the University’s Auditorium, Academic Block, and Panchkarma Centre, alongside the laying of the foundation stone for a <strong>new Girls’ Hostel</strong>—a move hailed by the President as a vital step toward promoting women’s higher education and empowerment.</p>
  7607. <p>Praising the university for offering integrated medical education in both <strong>Allopathy and Ayurveda</strong>, President Murmu also acknowledged the launch of a new 1800-bed hospital under Shri Gorakshanath Medical College Hospital and Research Centre. She noted that these facilities would greatly enhance healthcare and educational access in eastern Uttar Pradesh and surrounding regions.</p>
  7608. <p>“When girls have safe housing, their educational journey becomes stronger and more secure,” she said. “This new hostel is not just a building—it is an investment in the future of young women.”</p>
  7609. <p>The President highlighted the importance of private institutions working with a spirit of service and said such efforts are aligned with the goals of the <strong>National Education Policy 2020</strong>. Mahayogi Gorakhnath University, she noted, is the first private university in Gorakhpur to make a significant impact in just four years, offering employment-oriented education rooted in values like <em>spirituality</em> and <em>patriotism</em>.</p>
  7610. <p>She expressed confidence that when regions like <strong>Purvanchal</strong> become healthier and better educated, they pave the way for Uttar Pradesh—and by extension, India—to reach new heights in inclusive development.</p>

  7722. <p>In a landmark move to uplift turmeric farmers and amplify India’s global spice footprint, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation <strong>Shri Amit Shah</strong> inaugurated the headquarters of the <strong>National Turmeric Board</strong> in <strong>Nizamabad, Telangana</strong> on June 29, 2025.</p>
  7723. <p>The initiative, hailed as a major fulfillment of a 40-year-old demand, is expected to transform the turmeric economy in Telangana and across India. Speaking at the inauguration, Amit Shah affirmed that <strong>Prime Minister Narendra Modi</strong> has delivered on his promise to millions of turmeric cultivators, especially those from the turmeric-rich districts of <strong>Nizamabad, Jagtial, Nirmal, and Kamareddy</strong>.</p>
  7724. <p>“This board will ensure turmeric from Nizamabad reaches global markets within 3–4 years,” Shah announced, adding that the complete ecosystem—from packaging to branding and exports—will now be handled efficiently, freeing farmers from the grip of middlemen.</p>
  7725. <p>The <strong>National Turmeric Board</strong> aims to:</p>
  7726. <ul>
  7727. <li>Boost turmeric exports to <strong>$1 billion by 2030</strong></li>
  7728. <li>Set up international marketing and branding channels</li>
  7729. <li>Ensure quality control and adherence to global standards</li>
  7730. <li>Train farmers for export-readiness and harvesting best practices</li>
  7731. <li>Promote turmeric&#8217;s medicinal value globally</li>
  7732. </ul>
  7733. <p>Shah noted that in 2025, turmeric prices reached ₹18,000–19,000 per quintal, and with better infrastructure and export support, farmers can expect an increase of ₹6,000–₹7,000 per quintal in the next three years.</p>
  7734. <p>He also highlighted turmeric’s unique health benefits—<strong>anti-viral, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory</strong>—which make it a “<em>wonder drug</em>” on the global stage. Special focus will also be given to <strong>GI-tagged organic turmeric</strong> and research into its health applications.</p>
  7735. <p>To further support export-driven farming, Shah mentioned the establishment of two key cooperatives by the Modi government: <strong>National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL)</strong> and <strong>National Cooperative Organics Limited (NCOL)</strong>.</p>
  7736. <p>In 2023–24, India cultivated turmeric over <strong>3 lakh hectares</strong> producing <strong>10.74 lakh tonnes</strong>. With formal export channels and centralized support now in place, the golden spice is set to shine brighter than ever on the global market.</p>

  7785. <p>The first-ever <strong>ASEAN–India Cruise Dialogue</strong> was inaugurated on June 30, 2025, in Chennai by Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Shri <strong>Sarbananda Sonowal</strong>. Held aboard the MV Empress cruise ship at Chennai Port, the event saw participation from all ten ASEAN member nations along with Timor Leste and senior Indian officials.</p>
  7786. <p>The Dialogue aims to strengthen cruise connectivity and maritime cooperation across the Indo-Pacific, while promoting sustainable tourism. Over 30 delegates are participating in the two-day meet, which also includes sessions in Mamallapuram, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p>
  7787. <p>Speaking at the event, Shri Sonowal emphasized India’s ambition to become the <strong>cruise tourism hub of the Global South</strong>. He noted that the country is investing in modernizing 5,000 km of navigable waterways and that cruise passenger traffic is expected to reach <strong>1 million by 2029</strong>. “We envision an integrated cruise circuit linking Indian and ASEAN coastal cities through modern ports and real-time tracking systems,” he stated.</p>
  7788. <p>He highlighted the government’s alignment with initiatives like <strong>Viksit Bharat 2047</strong> and the <strong>ASEAN Community Vision 2045</strong>, calling for shared action on heritage-led tourism and maritime infrastructure. He also emphasized collaborative policy reforms and tax incentives to boost cruise passenger traffic—already witnessing a dramatic rise from 102 ship calls in 2013–14 to more than 14,000 today.</p>
  7789. <p>The Dialogue includes two thematic sessions on “<strong>ASEAN–India Cooperation Fund: Trade &#038; Investment</strong>” and “<strong>ASEAN–India Cruise Tourist Circuits</strong>,” focusing on building new cruise tourism routes and harmonizing regulations between partner countries.</p>
  7790. <p>Union Minister of State Shri <strong>Shantanu Thakur</strong> echoed the sentiment, saying that ASEAN is a key part of India’s Act East Policy. “Our ancient maritime links are being renewed through cruise tourism, enabling economic growth, cultural exchange, and people-to-people connection,” he said.</p>
  7791. <p>Delegates will also tour historic monuments in Mamallapuram as part of a session on heritage-based cruise routes. The dialogue supports national goals laid out in the <strong>Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047</strong> and India’s Cruise Tourism Strategy.</p>
  7792. <p>The event was attended by senior officials from MoPSW including Secretary Shri T.K. Ramachandran, Special Secretary Shri Rajesh Kumar Sinha, and senior state officials from Tamil Nadu. Industry leaders also joined discussions on building robust cruise infrastructure across the region.</p>
  7793. <p>India envisions this Dialogue as a recurring platform to turn the Indo-Pacific into a thriving cruise tourism region, with India and ASEAN nations leading the way.</p>

  7895. <p>Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah, chaired a high-level <strong>“Manthan Baithak”</strong> with Cooperation Ministers from all States and Union Territories in New Delhi on June 30, 2025. The meeting marked India’s preparations for celebrating the <strong>International Year of Cooperatives 2025</strong> and laid out a roadmap for empowering the sector over the next two decades.</p>
  7896. <p>Addressing the gathering, Shri Shah emphasized the transformative power of cooperatives in delivering grassroots development. He stated that the Modi government’s goal is to ensure that <strong>every village in India has at least one cooperative society</strong> by 2030. “The only way to convert aspirations into economic empowerment for millions is through cooperation,” he said.</p>
  7897. <p>He highlighted the Modi government&#8217;s efforts since 2014 to uplift around 60–70 crore Indians who had lived without basic amenities for generations. Now that these citizens have access to housing, toilets, electricity, and clean water, Shri Shah said they are ready to move forward—but need capital. “Cooperation offers them a structured path to entrepreneurship,” he noted.</p>
  7898. <p>The Union Minister underscored the creation of the <strong>National Cooperative Database</strong> as a crucial tool for identifying gaps. The database maps areas lacking cooperative institutions, helping officials focus efforts where they’re needed most.</p>
  7899. <p>Key announcements from the meeting included the upcoming launch of a <strong>National Cooperative Policy (2025–2045)</strong>. Each state has been asked to prepare its own cooperative roadmap by <strong>January 31, 2026</strong>, aligned with regional needs and the larger national framework. The Minister urged that all cooperative training in states be routed through <strong>Tribhuvan Sahkari University</strong>.</p>
  7900. <p>Participants also reviewed initiatives like the setting up of <strong>2 lakh Multi-Purpose Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (M-PACS)</strong>, promotion of dairy and fisheries cooperatives, and the rollout of the world’s largest grain storage scheme within the cooperative sector.</p>
  7901. <p>Emphasizing better governance, Shri Shah addressed the need for <strong>merit-based recruitment</strong> and <strong>transparency</strong> in cooperative banks. He praised reforms that brought cooperative banks under the Banking Regulation Act, stating that further improvements require ethical leadership and operational integrity.</p>

  7954. <p>In a move that will significantly ease the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bihar, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has uploaded the <strong>2003 Electoral Roll of Bihar</strong> to its official voter portal <a href="https://voters.eci.gov.in" target="_blank">voters.eci.gov.in</a>. The roll includes records for <strong>4.96 crore electors</strong>, who no longer need to submit any additional documentation for verification during enumeration.</p>
  7955. <p>According to the ECI’s recent guidelines issued on June 24, 2025, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are instructed to make printed and digital versions of the 2003 roll freely accessible. This ensures both electors and BLOs can easily verify voter details while filling out Enumeration Forms.</p>
  7956. <p>This update simplifies the process for nearly <strong>60% of Bihar’s electorate</strong>. Those already listed in the 2003 roll can now verify their information directly, skipping the usual hassle of providing supporting documents.</p>
  7957. <p>Furthermore, if a voter’s name is not listed in the 2003 roll, they can still use their parents’ names from that roll as valid proof. In such cases, only the applicant’s own documentation is needed—eliminating the need to submit records for their mother or father.</p>
  7958. <p>The Commission reiterated that electoral roll updates are conducted routinely as mandated under Section 21(2)(a) of the Representation of People Act, 1950 and Rule 25 of the Registration of Elector Rules, 1960. These revisions, conducted annually, keep the rolls current as people migrate, pass away, or reach voting age.</p>
  7959. <p>Article 326 of the Constitution outlines that <strong>only Indian citizens aged 18 and above</strong> who are ordinary residents of a constituency are eligible to register as voters.</p>
  7960. <p>This initiative not only streamlines the documentation process but also strengthens transparency and accessibility for millions of voters in Bihar.</p>

  8010. <p>President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, addressed the convocation ceremony of the <strong>Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI)</strong> in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, on June 30, 2025. In her address, she highlighted the deep connection between humanity and nature and emphasized the growing global focus on the concept of ‘<strong>One Health</strong>’.</p>
  8011. <p>“Our culture teaches us to see the divine in every living being,” the President said, noting that the belief that sages communicated with animals was rooted in this worldview. She stressed the urgent need to conserve species facing extinction, reminding the audience that biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the planet.</p>
  8012. <p>Referring to the COVID-19 pandemic, President Murmu warned of the dangers of unchecked consumption and its impact on both humanity and the natural world. She said, “It is our responsibility to use our intelligence for the well-being of all living creatures.”</p>
  8013. <p>Highlighting IVRI’s pivotal role, she said the institute could lead efforts in preventing and managing zoonotic diseases, which emerge at the intersection of human and animal health. She encouraged a greater focus on animal welfare, echoing the principles behind the One Health approach that views human, animal, and environmental health as interconnected.</p>
  8014. <p>The President also urged the institute to adopt and develop advanced technologies such as <strong>genome editing, embryo transfer, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics</strong> in veterinary care. She called on researchers to find affordable, indigenous treatments and to seek alternatives to veterinary medicines that could harm animals, humans, or the environment.</p>
  8015. <p>Addressing the graduating students, President Murmu applauded their decision to dedicate their careers to the care of animals. “When faced with tough choices in life, think about the voiceless animals who depend on your compassion,” she said. She also encouraged students to consider entrepreneurship and start-ups in animal sciences, which could generate both employment and innovation.</p>
  8016. <p>The convocation ceremony at IVRI reflected India’s growing emphasis on sustainable development and integrated healthcare models, with the President’s words serving as both inspiration and a call to action for the next generation of veterinary professionals.</p>

  8065. <p>President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu, delivered the keynote address at the <strong>first convocation ceremony of AIIMS Gorakhpur</strong> on June 30, 2025. Speaking at the event, the President described AIIMS institutions as benchmarks of India&#8217;s progress in medical science and care.</p>
  8066. <p>“Whenever we hear the name AIIMS, we think of top-tier treatment, modern medical technologies, and dedicated doctors,” she said, adding that AIIMS has become a symbol of hope for patients across the country.</p>
  8067. <p>Praising AIIMS Gorakhpur for its rapid development in education, research, and healthcare, the President noted that the institution has already earned a strong reputation, especially among residents in eastern Uttar Pradesh, and even in neighboring regions of Bihar and Nepal. She lauded its efforts in offering accessible and affordable healthcare to people from all backgrounds.</p>
  8068. <p>In her speech, President Murmu emphasized the vital role of doctors in nation-building. “You don’t just cure illnesses—you shape a healthier society,” she said, encouraging the graduating doctors to serve rural and tribal communities that often lack quality medical services.</p>
  8069. <p>The President urged young medical professionals to carry forward their careers with a sense of service, compassion, and empathy. She highlighted the importance of communication between doctors and patients, as well as the emotional intelligence needed to build trust and provide comfort during treatment.</p>
  8070. <p>“Medicine is not just a profession; it is a service to humanity,” she reminded them, calling on the new graduates to make compassion and honesty guiding principles in both their work and personal lives.</p>
  8071. <p>The convocation marks a milestone in AIIMS Gorakhpur’s journey as a premier medical institution, and the President’s presence added a strong message of purpose, service, and responsibility to the next generation of healthcare providers.</p>

  8120. <p>In a major move to ease the financial burden on middle-class homebuyers, the Gujarat government has announced an <strong>80% waiver in stamp duty</strong> for property transfers carried out through <strong>allotment letters or share certificates</strong> in housing societies and cooperative associations.</p>
  8121. <p>The new concession falls under <strong>Section 9(a) of the Gujarat Stamp Act, 1958</strong>, and is aimed at simplifying internal property ownership changes without adding hefty government charges.</p>
  8122. <p>Until now, such transfers—even when based on valid society allotment—were treated as sales and attracted full stamp duty along with penalties. With the new policy, eligible transactions will only be required to pay <strong>20% of the applicable duty</strong>, plus a nominal penalty.</p>
  8123. <p>The decision came after consistent representations from housing society members, MLAs, and cooperative housing federations. Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel approved the proposal, describing it as a step towards “fairness and relief for thousands of families who had been facing an unnecessary financial strain.”</p>
  8124. <p>Officials clarified that this relief will be strictly limited to transfers based on valid allotment letters or share certificates issued by housing societies, non-trading associations, or similar cooperatives. Cases that do not meet these criteria will continue to attract full stamp duty as per prevailing laws.</p>
  8125. <p>A formal government resolution will be issued shortly to detail the revised rates, terms, and effective dates.</p>

  8174. <p>The monsoon has begun to make its presence felt across Gujarat, with significant rainfall recorded in several parts of the state over the past 24 hours. According to the latest report from the State Emergency Operations Center in Gandhinagar, <strong>Kadi taluka in Mehsana district received the highest rainfall</strong>, logging an impressive <strong>3.6 inches</strong>.</p>

  8176. <p>Out of Gujarat’s 252 talukas, <strong>189 reported rainfall</strong> during the same period. While 25 talukas recorded more than one inch, a majority—159 talukas—saw less than an inch.</p>
  8177. <p>As of 6:00 AM on June 30, the <strong>state’s seasonal rainfall average stands at 33%</strong>. Regionally, South Gujarat has received the most so far, with 35.75% of its average, while North Gujarat trails behind at 24.77%.</p>

  8227. <p>The skies are turning grey, the first drops are starting to fall—and with them comes a familiar warning: watch out for dengue. In Gujarat, the state government isn’t waiting for things to get worse. Instead, they’ve launched a full-blown campaign to stop the mosquito-borne disease before it spreads.</p>
  8228. <p>For the entire month of July, the state is observing what it calls <strong>“Dengue Prevention Month.”</strong> But this isn’t just a catchy title. In June alone, health workers fanned out across neighborhoods—urban and rural—visiting more than <strong>1.48 crore homes</strong>. Their mission? Find and eliminate mosquito breeding grounds hiding in plain sight.</p>
  8229. <p>Flower pots. Open buckets. Water tanks left uncovered. Old tyres. Even bottle caps. Over <strong>5.11 crore spots</strong> like these were cleaned, emptied, or treated. “People don’t realize how little water it takes for mosquitoes to breed,” said one team member in Vadodara. “Just a spoonful is enough.”</p>
  8230. <p>The work hasn’t stopped there. Over <strong>3.6 lakh people</strong> showing fever symptoms were screened, with suspected dengue cases flagged early. Meanwhile, larvae were discovered in <strong>1.75 lakh homes</strong>, showing just how important these checks really are.</p>
  8231. <p>But it’s not just about spraying chemicals. Teams are also having real conversations with families—explaining how dengue spreads and what small habits can help stop it. &#8220;Keep your water tanks covered. Don&#8217;t leave water in pet bowls overnight. Wear long sleeves. Use mosquito nets,&#8221; they say. Simple advice, but often forgotten.</p>
  8232. <p>The government is also warning against popping random pills at the first sign of fever. “Aspirin can make dengue worse if not prescribed,” a public health flyer reads. Instead, residents are urged to visit their local doctor without delay.</p>
  8233. <p>Health Minister Rishikesh Patel says it best: “This is a shared responsibility. We’re doing the groundwork, but we need the public to play their part too.”</p>
  8234. <p>And while the rains may bring cooler days, Gujarat is hoping this early action keeps something else away—mosquitoes.</p>

  8338. <p>The <strong>Government Servants Cooperative Credit Society of Vadodara</strong> marks its 115th anniversary this year, carrying forward a legacy of financial empowerment and cooperative strength for public servants. Established in 1910 under the guidance of then Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad, the society was founded by 13 officers of Baroda State and has now grown to over <strong>11,000 members</strong>.</p>
  8339. <p>Initially set up to help government employees through small loans, the society has played a crucial role in turning dreams of homeownership into reality and providing support during health emergencies, marriages, and education expenses. Today, it offers loans of up to ₹20 lakh, earning accolades for best practices in cooperative financial management.</p>
  8340. <p>The society’s first president was Shri Purushottam Nathalal Desai, under the initiative of Shri Anant Narayan Datar. It began operations from a rented house in Shahi Pol and has since moved to its own office building developed in 1957 with a land purchase of ₹9,000.</p>

  8342. <p>Shri Prataprao S. Bhoite, who has served as president since 1992, stated that the society’s loan capacity was ₹2,500 until 1975 and gradually increased to ₹15,000 by 1995. With growing financial strength and disciplined governance, the society today disburses high-value loans and has emerged as the top performer in Gujarat’s cooperative credit sector.</p>
  8343. <p>From just 13 founding members to now serving over <strong>11,347 government and semi-government employees</strong> across departments like revenue, education, police, and universities, the society continues to be a pillar of economic resilience. In the last financial year, it earned a net profit of ₹186 lakh.</p>
  8344. <p>Recognized during Gujarat’s “Cooperative Fortnight”, this institution stands as a symbol of sustainable growth and the cooperative spirit envisioned by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad.</p>

  8393. <p>On the occasion of National Doctors’ Day (July 1), the Gujarat government highlighted the success of the <strong>Mukhyamantri Kanya Kelavani Nidhi Yojana (MKKN)</strong>, which provides financial assistance to girls pursuing MBBS education. The scheme, implemented under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel, aims to ensure that economic barriers do not prevent daughters from realizing their dreams of becoming doctors.</p>
  8394. <p>Since its inception in 2017-18, the MKKN scheme has supported <strong>25,768 girl students</strong> with a total of ₹772 crore in aid. In FY 2024-25 alone, <strong>₹162.69 crore</strong> was disbursed to <strong>5,155 medical students</strong> from families earning up to ₹6 lakh annually.</p>
  8395. <p>Under this scheme, 50% of the admission fee is sponsored by the state government for students who qualify for MBBS programs through NEET. Notably, this support is provided irrespective of caste or community background.</p>
  8396. <p>One shining example is Dr. Pratibhaben Chauhan of Jamnagar, who recently completed her MBBS from Narendra Modi Medical College, Ahmedabad. She shared how the MKKN scheme enabled her to afford private college fees and pursue her dream. She received financial aid worth ₹25.48 lakh during her course and is now preparing for postgraduate studies.</p>
  8397. <p>Thousands of talented daughters across Gujarat are now wearing white coats and contributing to the health sector—all thanks to this forward-thinking initiative.</p>
  8398. <p>CM Patel reaffirmed that under PM Narendra Modi’s vision of women-led development, Gujarat will continue taking inclusive steps to uplift girls through education, opportunity, and empowerment.</p>

  8447. <p>In the June 2025 edition of the statewide “Swagat” grievance redressal program, Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel personally heard and responded to citizen complaints across various sectors including municipal services, land revenue, and police matters.</p>
  8448. <p>CM Patel emphasized that applicants should not have to escalate small grievances to the state level. He directed district collectors and other administrative officers to ensure that previous instructions given during “Swagat” sessions are strictly implemented.</p>
  8449. <p>During this session, 98 critical cases from across Gujarat were presented, out of which 12 were personally heard by the Chief Minister. The remaining 86 cases were reviewed by the CM’s public contact team and forwarded to district-level officials with instructions for prompt action.</p>
  8450. <p>Issues raised included encroachments on roads, delays in irrigation scheme documentation updates, and revenue disputes. CM Patel ordered strict action in cases of unauthorized commercial activities in residential societies and unresolved measurements of farmers’ lands.</p>
  8451. <p>In a particularly impactful decision, the CM resolved a long-standing grievance related to outdated Section-4 annotations in land records for irrigation project-affected farmers. The annotation was removed, ending years of administrative delay.</p>
  8452. <p>In total, 3,349 grievances were submitted across village, taluka, district, and state levels in June, and 1,757 (50%) were successfully resolved. Senior officials, including Additional Chief Secretary Smt. Avantika Singh, Secretary Dr. Vikrant Pandey, and Special Duty Officers Shri Dheeraj Parikh and Shri Rakesh Vyas, participated via video conferencing along with district-level teams.</p>

  8501. <p>Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel has announced a major relief in stamp duty charges for property transfers made via allotment letters or share certificates in housing societies, associations, and non-trading cooperatives. This decision benefits thousands of middle-income families across the state.</p>
  8502. <p>Under the new policy, the payable stamp duty on such transfers will be reduced by 80%, meaning only 20% of the original duty amount will be collected. This waiver will apply under Section 9(a) of the Gujarat Stamp Act, 1958.</p>
  8503. <p>The Revenue Department clarified that this concession will ease the financial burden on families handling internal property transfers that previously attracted full duty and penalties. With the revised provisions, people will now only pay the revised 20% base duty and applicable minimal penalty—eliminating the earlier excess burden.</p>
  8504. <p>CM Patel&#8217;s decision was motivated by numerous public and legislative appeals, reflecting his sensitive and citizen-friendly approach to governance. This initiative particularly addresses concerns of housing affordability and reduces complications in internal society transfers.</p>
  8505. <p>It is important to note that this benefit applies exclusively to cases involving allotment letters or share certificates issued by housing societies, associations, and non-trading cooperatives. The government will issue a formal notification outlining the policy’s terms and applicability shortly.</p>

  8623. <p>The Technology Development Board (TDB), under the Department of Science &#038; Technology (DST), Government of India, has extended financial support to M/s BatX Energies Pvt. Ltd., Gurugram, to commercialize its indigenous battery recycling technology.</p>
  8624. <p>The project, titled “Technologies for generation of battery grade materials and value addition through closed loop,” will enable large-scale recovery of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. BatX Energies has developed a proprietary low-temperature, low-pressure hydrometallurgical process, agnostic to battery chemistries, achieving high recovery rates of 97–99%.</p>
  8625. <p>This dual-mode (wet and dry) black mass recovery technology includes collection, shredding, metal leaching, and purification — all developed and patented in-house, thus reducing dependency on imported equipment and critical minerals.</p>
  8626. <p>The commercial facility aims to scale from a successful pilot to a full-fledged operation, supporting India’s goals under Aatmanirbhar Bharat and promoting a circular economy by minimizing mineral imports.</p>
  8627. <p>Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB, emphasized that robust recycling infrastructure is vital for India’s clean energy and electric mobility goals. “Indigenous technologies like this one enhance our energy security and innovation leadership,” he said.</p>
  8628. <p>Utkarsh Singh, Co-Founder and CEO of BatX Energies, stated, “TDB’s support validates our clean-tech mission and empowers us to globally lead in battery recycling. This is a leap forward in reducing critical mineral imports.”</p>
  8629. <p>BatX has filed seven patents (two granted) and developed a process that meets global specifications. The recovered lithium carbonate, cobalt sulphate, and other compounds are suitable for both domestic use and export, further strengthening India’s presence in the clean energy value chain.</p>
  8630. <p>This initiative marks a major step toward building a sustainable, self-reliant, and technology-driven ecosystem for battery materials and green energy.</p>
