https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/balanced-use-of-fertiliser-for-sustainable-agriculture-626545.html Punjab is a frontline state for agriculture production and productivity Soil health is most important for sustainable agriculture Soil needs to be tested after two year gap to check its health and supplement with fertilisers as required However deviation from the ideal fertiliser requirement has direct impact on quality and quantity of produce and profit margins of farmers The excess of fertiliser usage will increase input cost thus adversely affecting profitability environment and consequently health of living beingsA variety of nitrogen based fertilisers are used in Punjab like urea DAP diammonium phosphate MOP muriate of potash and NPK nitrogen phosphorus potassium blends The state has the highest per acre consumption of fertilisers especially urea and DAP for crops like wheat and paddy The average nitrogen phosphorus and potassium fertiliser consumption in India during the year 202324 was 13981 kg per hectare whereas Punjabs average fertiliser consumption was significantly higher at 24761 kg per hectare The factors responsible for this difference are intensive crop pattern reliance on wheat paddy rotation soil condition and past habit in fertiliser usage Punjab soils are rich in potash The ideal NPK NitrogenPhosphorusPotassium ratio for Punjab is 421 however the actual usage ratio of NPK is significantly skewed typically around 3181 This imbalance leads to issues like soil health problems reduced fertiliser efficiency and potentially lower crop yields Majority of Punjab farmers are advised to use urea as recommended by the agricultural universities However majority of farmers use double the amount of urea inviting trouble because more than recommended dose of urea increases weeds attract insect pest attack depleting the available micronutrients Facilitated by low price excess use of urea may make plant prone to lodging and crop becoming succulent While fertilisers are essential for boosting crop yields their excessive or improper use can reduce soil fertility soil biodiversity release greenhouse gases and can cause soil and water pollution having harmful effect on environment human health and soil quality Some fertilisers contain heavy metals like cadmium and chromium Cadmium poisoning which comes from its excessive intake can lead to kidney bone and pulmonary damage WHO 1992Therefore soil testing of agriculture lands after a gap of two years and balanced use of fertilisers is a vital and this practice must be adopted strictly by all farmers Balanced use of NPK fertilizers based on soil test reports farm yard manure vermicompost incorporating crop residues into soil mulching green manuring crop rotation use of biofertilizers biopesticides etc as per recommended application rates are the tools by which soil health should be maintained and crop yields can be increasedThere are fifty seven soil testing laboratories in Punjab Out of these four are ICP laboratories that are capable of analysing sixteen minor elements in soil In addition there are twelve atomic absorption spectrometers in Punjab Rest of laboratories mainly concentrate on analysing NPK by titration method which is time consuming However the total soil spectrometers can offer a faster more costeffective and ecofriendly alternative to traditional wet chemistry methods for soil analysis potentially improving accuracy especially when combined with advanced techniques like chemometrics and machine learning While spectrometers may not always replace traditional lab analysis they can be a valuable tool for rapid and efficient soil testing particularly for largescale or remote areas The total soil sample testing target in Punjab this year is approximately 25 lakh samples There is a dire need to increase soil testing capacity of Punjab with the help of total soil spectrometer to ensure analysis of all 16 elements of soil if farmers are to be convinced to stop using chemical fertilizer indiscriminatelyIncreasing soil testing facility is less challenging as compared to convincing farmers to use fertiliser as per requirement based on results of soil testing It has been observed by agriculture experts that despite knowing soil health farmers still use higher quantities of fertiliser as per past practice Resistance to change based on past practice or relying on the advice of peer group is hard to tackle During winter months when sun cannot be seen for days due to foggy weather wheat leaves turn yellow Use of urea helps in giving instant result by making green leaves grow Agriculture department officials need to concentrate their extension activities on breaking past habits At present there are demonstration farms in seven districts All the blocks in Punjab should have at least one demonstration farm where farmers can themselves see the efficacy of using fertilizer as per soil quality result Through these demonstration farms farmers acceptance of the use of need based chemical fertilisers or alternatively biofertilizers can be improved by using experimental fields These farms can be used to conduct field comparisons between traditional and other biomass fertilisers and noting the difference in production between the two methods The farmers can learn to use fertilisers efficiently thus ensuring sustainable agriculture Policy changes in fertiliser subsidy can be of some help In place of indirect subsidy on fertiliser direct subsidy in bank accounts of farmers can be thought of which can be linked to farm size agricultural university recommendation of fertiliser requirement in the block and additional requirement of fertiliser to soil health The fertiliser quota of agriculture cooperative societies may be capped on the basis of total land holding of all the members of the society This will help in checking hoarding of fertiliser as well as indiscriminate use of fertilisers

scriptures and traditions These shape our early understanding But life often challenges these beliefs Wordshowever poetic or logicalcannot capture the living essence of TruthThink of Buddha Mahavira or Krishna Their wisdom came through deep inner realization Their words may guide us but Truth must be experiencednot borrowedConsider a parable in darkness a rope may appear as a snake Fear arises not from reality but from illusion Only by moving closer does clarity emerge Likewise Truth demands courageto question to look within and to see beyond appearancesEven sacred texts lose their purity over time buried under layers of interpretation We often protect our egos behind rituals and appearances Lies feel safe Truth is rawand often uncomfortableIn movies we all identify with the hero but rarely with the villain Yet in real lifeeven the perpetrators of the horrific Nirbhaya case did not perceive themselves as evil Everyone clings to their version of truthSo what is TruthIt is not found in law books or religious dogma Truth is neutral unownedbeyond belief and ideology It is a living awareness vast innocent and paradoxically nothing and everything To know it we must deprogram what feeds the egoTo realize Truth we must awaken the self The path is not easy but this brings clarityTruth does not kill in the name of belief It reveals transforms liberatesand enables unconditional love amp compassion It is presencepure childlike cosmicfor whom life and death are alikeAvoiding Truth deepens suffering It is not divine punishmentbut the natural consequence of living against the

song of the Lord is a seven hundred verse conversation between Lord Krishna and warrior Arjuna at the time of the Kurukshetra battleKnowing the background will help us understand the context Kauravas and Pandavas were cousins Circumstances so evolved that they had to fight each other Almost all the known warriors of that time had joined one side or another in this epic battle Arjuna an undefeated warrior known for his mastery in archery was fighting from Pandavas side He was bestowed with many weapons during sixty years of his lifeUpon entering the battle Arjuna realised that all his friends relatives teachers and elders were standing on one side or another Having seen the consequences of such war before he quickly realised that this war would kill almost all of them This led to his despondency He dropped his bow and arrow in the chariot and sat downKrishna tried to nudge him saying that this type of attitude is not appropriate for a warrior like him But that simple nudge didnt move Arjuna Thus starts the Bhagavad Gita where Lord Krishna explains in detail various principles of this existence not only to help Arjuna at that moment but also the entire humanityBhagavad Gita was born in the battle field and the battle field can be taken as a metaphor for the serious problems faced by us during our lives There is another conversation called the Uddhav Gita which is the eleventh chapter of the Srimad Bhagavatam This conversation is between Lord Krishna and his childhood friend Uddhav who was also in despondency when the latter realised that Krishna is leaving him While the Bhagavad Gita can be taken as war time advice the Uddhav Gita can be taken as peace time advice These two conversations complement each other Together they form a basis to understand the principles of this existence By aligning ourselves with these principles we can lead friction free and a joyful lifeWe need to keep some basic facts in mind to understand these principles Firstly this conversation is contextual while the principles are eternal Krishnas explanation reflects the state of mind of Arjuna as well as the practices and belief systems followed at that time As a result it appears that there is no clear cut demarcation of issues or concepts which we usually find in text booksSecondly the conversation happens at various levels of awareness Sometimes Krishna comes as a human being and at that level understanding is easier for us At that level He gives easy examples such as a tortoise in the context of withdrawing senses from sense objects a river and ocean in the context of desires disappearing in the mind of a yogi like rivers loose their existence when they enter ocean a lotus leaf and water in the context of nonattachment etc Some times as He presents himself as Paramatma and at that level things become difficult to understand as we are completely unaware of themThirdly Bhagavad Gita is a text book from kindergarten to postgraduation In one text of seven hundred verses simple principles to complex ones are explained It is not that we should master all the principles If even one of them is realised it would lead to mastering of all of them automaticallyIf we take examples of mathematics one starts with simple addition multiplication etc Subsequently one moves to algebra and finally to calculus Interestingly all of them represent awareness relative to the capacity of the student Calculus is needed to solve complex problems and algebra might not be useful for these problems Similarly in biology one learns about different human organs and their functions As one moves higher classes one would understand the interdependence of these organsIn the first reading of the Bhagavad Gita it is advisable to grasp the principles which can be easily understood and then go for subsequent readings When our own understanding and awareness improve through subsequent readings as well as life experiences clarity comes even in the case of complex principlesFor example karma action is explained in the beginning which is easy to understand but when niyat karma prescribed actions are introduced it presents a lot of difficulties to comprehend what is prescribed action and what is not When Krishna says all karma are blemised difficulty reaches next kevelSimilarly life presents simple to complex problems and dilemmas A simple issue doesnt require much of expertise to handle but a complex issue needs understanding awareness skills and attitude at a higher levelFourthly the existence or universe never gives us any preachings It puts us into different situations and from the experiences we gain out of these situations it makes us learn about natural principles that govern this universe like the natural law of gravity Bhagavad Gita is a rare dialogue where the very existence came as Krishna and explained these principles himself to help us understand them easilyThe fifth difficulty is our divisive mind which prevents us from seeing the whole truth If we have to embrace existence or be one with it we should embrace the whole of it This includes what we believe as well as what we dont believe in It includes both the praise and criticism we receive It includes all people and situations that are described as good or badFor example Krishna says He is creation as well as destruction birth as well as death and sat reality as well as asat illusion Krishna is not here to support our belief systems nor Gita is a conversation to justify our belief systems He simply presents the principles that govern this existence This is the bravest approach whether we are able to inculcate it or notFinally the Bhagavad Gita is not about participating in the war Gita about renouncing our hatred while performing karma as we are just an instrument in the hand of the almighty nimittamatra It is a matter of fact that after explaining the Gita Krishna gave a choice to Arjuna to do what he wished to do The Bhagavad Gita is about doing the job at hand to the best of our abilities without hatred and attachmentWe need to keep in mind all these difficulties while approaching the Bhagavad GitaThe writer K Siva Prasad is a

Choosing where to retire is not just a logistical step it is the geographic anchor that makes all those social relationships possibleStart Planning Five Years in AdvanceThe decision about where to retire should ideally begin at least five years before your retirement date This gives you time to explore options rent before you buy and begin building relationships in the new place A rushed

mobile and aspirational But what defines a great retirement cityThe Right Retirement Destination Factors to ConsiderProximity to Family and Friends The most frequently cited source of happiness in retirement is being near loved ones Being close to your children siblings or old friends adds emotional richness and logistical comfortMedical Infrastructure Retirement inevitably brings greater focus on healthcare Access to good hospitals diagnostics specialists and emergency care becomes a critical factorConnectivity Easy access to airports trains and highways ensures continued mobility for leisure emergencies or parttime workSocial and Hobby Circles Look for places that enable the pursuit of your interestswhether it is music literature golf trekking or spiritual groupsOpportunities for

Chandigarh Pune Coimbatore Mysuru Dehradun peripheral Bengaluru Kochi Ahmedabad Bhopal and Jaipur Each offers a mix of health care climate community and access to leisureCase Study Choosing ChandigarhIn my case choosing Chandigarh was driven by many of the PLACE parameters My wifes elder sister and her husbandwho retired as an Air Marshaljointly decided with us to retire in Chandigarh and we now live in the same tower My wifes cousin a doctor also chose this city to settle with his wife and children after returning from the US to enjoy a better pace of life they too live in the same towerMy cousin a gynaecologist and her husband an orthopaedic surgeon relocated from the UK to set up their hospital here My younger brother who is set to retire from the Indian Air Force in a few years has also chosen to settle nearbyLiving close to extended family in separate homes gives us the best of both worldsthe warmth support and spontaneity of a joint family alongside the privacy and autonomy of independent livingChandigarh is also close to my hometown Jalandhar which offers an emotional connection and ease of travel for family occasions I had worked in Chandigarh from 2001 to 2005 and built strong personal and professional networks Even after moving away I kept visiting frequently for business reunions and family gatherings In 2017 after deep thought and repeated visits I decided to invest in my retirement home here and moved in 2023Today many of us live in the same toweron different floorsor nearby Our tower has over 40 families from diverse professional backgrounds and is gradually evolving into a familial community The availability of excellent healthcare green spaces air connectivity and nearby hill retreats sealed my decisionConclusion Begin Early Choose

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/journalism-on-sale-a-crisis-of-credibility-and-conscience-624815.html A vibrant democracy cannot thrive without a free press Powersthatbe must stop treating journalists as tools At the same time media organisations must clean their houses rid themselves of illiterates extortionists and sycophants masquerading as journalistsThere was a time when the Indian media was revered considered the watchdog of democracy and the consciencekeeper of the nation That stature unfortunately has been erodedIn recent years the decline of Indian media has become a topic of debate across newsrooms boardrooms and drawing rooms alike Conversations with seasoned journalists from prominent media houses reveal a grim truth the profession has lost its sheen and its practitioners their respect Journalists are no longer regarded with the same seriousness they commanded 15 or 20 years ago The perception has changed and the medias credibility is at stake And for this situation journalists and media houses have only themselves to blame They have failed to uphold the dignity of journalismWhile a few media houses have stayed the course despite facing serious challenges and threats the majority today are behaving like a party a partner It is widely known that a significant section of those entering the media field never intended to become journalists Journalism for them was a default option after other avenues closed Many lack the rigour depth and grounding necessary for the profession They dont even know why they have become journalists or what the essence of journalism is These reporters can ask questions but prefer to run away or are unable to sustain meaningful conversations when questioned in return If we introspect honestly it is the media that has allowed itself to fall into the trap of convenience and compromiseJournalism is all about saying the obvious without committing yourself You write what you see Seeing is believing is the concept and the backbone of journalism As journalists we dont just deal with information we also deal with misinformation and disinformation Not only truth but halftruths and quartertruths It all depends on which part of the truth a reporter chooses to present to the readers There lies the real test of his professional experience and intentThe pressure on media houses and journalists today is unprecedented With shrinking revenues and changing business models many media organisations are largely dependent on government advertisements corporate sponsorships and support and political patronage The fallout of this is visible editors are often asked to support marketing initiatives correspondents are expected to generate revenue and stringers are used as local enforcers to extract or extort money in the name of advertisements and news coverageJournalism is no longer a pure and pious profession it has become more of a transactional activity The lines between editorial integrity and commercial survival are dangerously blurredThe COVID19 pandemic only hastened this decline Many newspapers shut down offices were vacated and operations shrank Journalists were laid off by the thousands The media that once held politicians accountable began kowtowing to them Newsrooms became echo chambers Many journalists have started behaving like spokespersons speaking only what the powersthatbe want to hear Today media is being categorised Godi media on one end and a handful of independent voices struggling to survive on the other And amid all this the viewer the reader the citizen the ultimate stakeholder has started switching offLike governments most media houses too carry a lot of baggage and are willing to do anything for survival Governments both at the Centre and in the states have realised the medias vulnerabilities and are now exploiting them Instead of fearing media scrutiny politicians and bureaucrats today view journalists with disdain Governments feel they can pay media houses back in the same coin if they dare to criticise them by stopping advertisements little realising that once they are out of power the next dispensations would use the same tactics to discredit themThe tragedy is not just that the media is under pressure but that it has begun to crack under it Many outlets have become propaganda tools not just for political parties but also for industrialists and there is hardly any difference between them and a pamphletIn the runup to elections we see paid news passed off as editorials in newspapers and on TV channels Political coverage is planted narratives are sold and credibility is mortgaged What was once the occasional unethical practice has now become the new normalThat said not all is lost There still exists a segment of journalists perhaps 20 per cent who are clear about their roles and responsibilities They are trying to uphold the principles of sober restrained and graceful journalism These are the reporters and editors who do their homework avoid adjectives have a nose for news and dont indulge in theatrics They have the ability to critically analyse the functioning of governments yet many of them believe in journalism of hopeAll sections of our system and society especially governments must remember that a vibrant democracy cannot thrive without a free press Politicians must stop treating journalists as tools in their hands At the same time media organisations must clean their houses rid themselves of illiterates extortionists and sycophants masquerading as journalists The responsibility lies squarely on media houses to stop allowing their staff to indulge in the prostitution of journalismIt is high time the media considered the fourth pillar of democracy introspected reclaimed its soul and past glory before it is too late Because if the media fails democracy will stumble https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/journalism-on-sale-a-crisis-of-credibility-and-conscience-624815.html Mon, 07 Jul

meaning Emotional wealthrooted in shared memories and unconditional belongingbecomes more valuable than material accumulation No one contributes more to this emotional wealth than our siblings and lifelong friendsnbspSiblings are often the only ones who have seen us through every chapter of life These relationships might lie dormant during the middle years lost under the clutter of careers and responsibilities but retirement offers a beautiful window to rekindle themnbspOne of the early realities of retirement is that your circle of work colleagues gradually fades The daily conversations and shared routines become memories While a few friendships may persist most fade into the background often more abruptly than expected Accepting this change without resentment opens space for reconnecting with family and older friendships that bring lasting warmthCousins uncles and auntsrelatives who may not have shared our homes but helped shape our storiesalso form part of this emotional lineage And then there are the friends from school college or work who remind us of who we once were and keep us grounded in who we still areThe Circle of 75 Anchors Constants and ExplorersOne model that has helped me stay rooted is what I call the Circle of 75nurturing three sets of 25 relationships Anchors close relatives People with whom we share blood history and emotional grounding Constants lifelong friends Schoolmates college friends former colleaguesthose whove seen us grow and still see us Explorers new connections People we meet nowfellow travellers society members kindred spiritswho bring fresh energy and inspirationThis model works not by quantity but by quality You dont need a big group Just a few people with open hearts and curious minds The idea is to cultivate relationships with intention not obligation The old ones offer depth the new ones bring vitality Together they create a support system that keeps your inner life nourishedA Living Example Travelogue Musingsn RelliesIn our residential community of over 500 apartments ten families came together to form a group we call Travelogue Musings n Rellies We are from diverse backgroundsdoctors defence officers

exchange travel tales discuss books and reflect on life over tea or dinner What began as casual conversations has grown into a circle of mutual trust and careIn a world becoming increasingly virtual this realworld companionship is rare and sacred Retirement gave us the time but intention made it meaningfulThe Lost Art of Checking InMany meaningful relationships fade not because of conflict but because of neglect Retirement gives us the gift of timelet us use it to reconnect A phone call a visit a shared mealthese simple gestures create an emotional safety net around usDont wait for special occasions to reconnect with cousins siblings or college friends Create your rhythm Start a monthly lunch with old colleagues revive a college WhatsApp group or host a small gettogether in your city These rituals keep relationships vibrant Friendships like gardens thrive with regular careIts never too late Most people are waiting for someone to reach out Why not youYou Get What You GiveThe secret to sustaining these circles lies in generosity Be the first to message Be the one who listens Extend the invitation When your intent is warm and your presence genuine bonds deepen effortlesslyThese relationships are not about statusthey are about companionship As we step away from structured work lives these connections become our scaffolding for both joy and supportConclusion Youre Not AloneYou

breathtaking architecture global cuisines and extremely overpriced water bottlesRecently I embarked on what many call the dream Europe trip a classic triangle covering Paris Switzerland and Italy I went in expecting to be swept off my feet by scenic boulevards majestic mountains and pasta so good it would rewrite my taste preferences I came back with sunburn an empty wallet mostly drained by water and a newfound appreciation for our humble roadside paranthas and cutting chaiAllow me to take you on this journey part travelogue part survival tale of a desi navigating the beautiful but bewildering lands of EuropeParis City of Lights and Light WalletsParis is everything they say it is the Eiffel Tower sparkles just right the streets are sprinkled with charming cafes and the people look like they walked straight out of a fashion magazineBut no one warned me about the cost of staying hydratedA bottle of water in Paris costs anywhere between 2 to 4 Euros Thats 200 to 400 rupees for water Back home that would buy me a family pack of samosas and a chai In Paris it barely got me a lukewarm labelless bottle that I suspect was just tap water with a fancy price tagDesi survival tip Carry an empty bottle and refill it at public fountains Yes they exist and no theyre not a trap to bankrupt touristsWhile the infrastructure in Paris is topnotch smooth roads and footpaths that are actually walkable the food was where my desi soul wept Croissants baguettes and strangelooking cheeses ruled the breakfast menus I searched high and low for boiled tea you know the kind thats been lovingly tortured on the stove with milk and sugar until it begs for mercy But alas all I got was a cup of hot water with a suspiciously floating tea bagWhere was the kadak masala chai Where were the roadside tea stalls brimming with overboiled goodnessInstead I settled for black coffee which the French seemed to consume as if it were a life force I drank it too mostly because I needed something to distract me from the lack of spicy foodSwitzerland Heaven If You Can Afford ItNext stop Switzerland The land of mountains chocolate and prices that can make even your credit card trembleI will say this Switzerland is gorgeous The mountains dont need Instagram filters The lakes are so clear you can almost see your budget sinking to the bottomBut the sun was merciless I had packed for dreamy jacketweather European hills but Switzerland greeted me with open arms and scorching sunlight It was so hot I briefly considered diving into Lake Lucerne not for the adventure but for the free waterSwitzerland like Paris continued the cruel tradition of expensive hydration Food was another challenge I ordered a vegetarian sandwich once only to receive a slice of bread with a solitary lettuce leaf I looked at it the way a lion might look at a grass saladExcuse me where are the aloo paranthas The poori sabji The chole bhature that can comfort a homesick heartEven their famed cheese fondue couldnt distract me from the silent scream of my desi taste buds craving something deepfried and dripping in gheeBut credit where its due Switzerlands infrastructure is impeccable Roads are so clean you feel guilty walking on them And even the cows Im convinced follow traffic rulesItaly Pasta Pizza and a Missing Green ChilliItaly was my final European stop and I was determined to find some comfort food Surely pasta and pizza would offer some familiarity right After all even back in India weve adopted and lovingly desified themWrongItalian food is subtle elegant and hopelessly underspiced I bit into what looked like a promising pasta dish only to find that it tasted like boiled noodles politely kissed by a tomatoI asked the waiter Could I get something spicyHe smiled sympathetically and brought me pepper flakes Pepper flakes For someone raised on a diet of green chillies that could scare dragons this was barely a tickleAnd the tea Italy takes its coffee seriously but when it comes to tea the story was the same hot water and a sad teabag floating like a lonely survivorSure the infrastructure was impressive The roads were smooth the public transport efficient and the historical sites left me in awe Walking through Rome felt like stepping into a time machine but my stomach kept reminding me that I was stepping into a noparantha zoneReturn of the Desi Parantha ReunionAfter days of polite underseasoned European meals and expensive sips of water I landed back in India with a singular mission to attack a plate of hot buttery paranthas and gulp down a piping hot boiled cup of masala chaiThe joy The sheer unfiltered joy of that first bite of stuffed parantha dripping with butter teasingly spicy unapologetically oily was something Europe could never offer And the tea Thick milky boiled to perfection sweet enough to shock a dentist it was as if my taste buds had finally come home after being stranded in a foreign landEurope gave me memories but India gave me flavourLessons from the Trip A Humorous Survival Guide1 Water Bottles Are Luxury Items Carry your own bottle and scout for free public fountains Europe charges for water like we charge for gold2 Tea Expectations Forget finding Indianstyle tea Embrace the occasional espresso but prepare to miss that boiling bubbling roadside chai3 Spice Emergency Kit Pack some green chillies achaar pickle or a small packet of masala Trust me your taste buds will thank you4 Parantha Withdrawal is Real The sooner you accept that Europe has no paranthas or poori sabji the easier your trip will be Plan your grand reunion meal for the day you land back home5 Enjoy the Roads and Infrastructure While the food might not hit the spot the roads trains and public spaces in Europe are truly a marvel Walk explore and soak in the efficiencyTravel changes you they say It certainly changed my appreciation for the everyday things I used to take for granted like the ability to order aloo parantha at 2 am or finding a chaiwala at every street cornerEurope was beautiful no doubt But sometimes beauty isnt enough when your heart is crying out for a greasy plate of poori sabjiAnd so after my whirlwind European adventure I can confidently declare Its good to travel but its even better to come home to the food you love After all saare jahan se achcha Hindustan hamara hamaraPass me another parantha

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/majithias-arrest-and-the-shifting-political-sands-of-punjab-623498.html Dailyworld ChandigarhThe arrest of senior Akali leader and former Punjab Minister Bikram Singh Majithia has once again thrown Punjabs political cauldron into full boil At the core of this development lies not just a battle against alleged drug syndicates or the question of Majithias personal culpability but a larger more seismic churn in Punjabs political landscape that is likely to dominate the narrative till the 2027 Assembly electionsFor months whispers in political corridors pointed toward the Bhagwant Mannled Aam Aadmi Party government preparing to tighten the noose around Majithia who has long been accused of patronage and proximity to the drug mafia These accusations originating as far back as the early 2010s gained prominence when a former DSP and notorious druglord Jagdish Bhola named Majithia during the AkaliBJP governments tenure That the arrest by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau VB in a Disproportionate Assets DA case was coming was no secret What has taken many by surprise is the political realignment and sharp reactions it has triggeredInterestingly for the first time in years BJP and Congress leadersincluding Sunil Jakhar and Pratap Singh Bajwahave taken a line somewhat sympathetic to Majithia This has less to do with the man and more to do with politics For the BJP Majithia represents a possible rallying point in Punjab Having tested splinter Akali faction leaders like Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa Bibi Jagir Kaur and Sikander Singh Malooka the saffron party may have realised that breaking the Shiromani Akali Dal SAD is not viable Instead realpolitik may require reconciliationIt is within this context that Majithias arrest is being viewed not as a culmination but as a new beginning AAP will undoubtedly try to project this as a bold crackdown on Punjabs drug networka tough message that no one not even the big fish will be spared But for SAD this arrest is tailormade to play the victim cardBeyond legalities Punjab is not Delhi people are indifference towards state politics and politicians Punjab remembers reacts and most importantly connects emotionally with its leaders With Captain Amarinder Singh retiring from active politics and the patriarch Prakash Singh Badal no longer on the stage there is a leadership vacuum in traditional parties The void is waiting to be filled and in the battle to claim that space Majithias political revivalor demisewill be a key pivotOn the other hand the BJP sees in Punjab a similar opportunity it saw in Jammu and Kashmir With Punjab too sharing an international boundary the BJP is eager to strengthen its nationalist narrative especially by cornering AAP as soft on separatism and inexperienced in governance The saffron party cannot ideologically or electorally tie up with Arvind Kejriwals AAP or Rahul Gandhis Congress in Punjab That leaves it with SADbruised but not brokenThis in fact explains the recent softening of tones between Sukhbir Singh Badal and BJP leaders While Badal continues to battle a credibility crisis Punjabi voters are not without forgiveness They have historically shown willingness to give leaders a second chance if the leader displays humility and a clear shift in governance styleHowever AAP is not without its ammunition With Bhagwant Mann often invoking the fight against drug lords Majithias arrest offers a highimpact narrative AAP will go to the voters in 2027 claiming it dared to do what Congress and SAD governments hesitated tocleanse Punjabs system of its most powerful untouchables Whether the voters buy into this message or see it as a convenient political stunt remains to be seenAt a larger level Punjab stands at a crossroads once again Between the fading legacies of old warhorses and the untested promises of new players the state must choose between continuity and change retribution and reform Whats clear however is that Majithias arrest will not just define the fate of one man or one partybut shape the direction of Punjabs politics for years to comeAs 2027 draws closer the state will witness more arrests more inquiries and perhaps even more alliances reshaped in the backrooms But ultimately it will be the people of Punjab emotional and politically astute as they are who will decide whose narrative holds

her wife Mridula from the landline in the canteen The whole day was spent waiting for that one call at 8 PMPankaj also recalled how he used to sit near the telephone booth with our platesThere was no ringtone or caller ID to indicate it was our call So we would wait the whole day hoping the call would come at 8 he saidNow people spend the whole day checking the location of someone where they are

actor said back in his days there was no scope of doubtsBack in our day these doubts didnt arise because we didnt have that much technology I would just wait for the call in the evening and we would

sciencestructured responsive and governed by patterns Just like in a lab the outcome depends on the input The difference is lifes variables are far more complexIn a scientific experiment we test a few factors But in life the variables are multidimensionalthoughts emotions beliefs energy environment and more This complexity often makes us fearful We hesitate to experiment overwhelmed by uncertainty But unless we engage with these variables we deny ourselves the joy of selfdiscoveryTheres no eternal happily ever after or perfect heaven waiting Growth is gradual If the input we providethrough intention awareness and actionenhances our inner peace clarity and joy over time we are likely moving in the right direction If not we must revisit our choicesWhat are these life variables Some key ones include observing our thoughts and feelings without judgment questioning inherited social and religious conditioning understanding our identity and working with our inner energy system These elements influence our direction far more than we realizeNo life experiment goes to waste Even perceived failure offers insight and depth that fuel future success Life rewards exploration not

International Yoga Day by visiting the Kedarnath Temple to seek divine blessings Sharing her experience on social media Amruta wrote If theres one thing Ive truly learned over the past few years of practicing yoga its this yoga is not just about the movement of the body its equally about the stillness of the mind That stillness teaches you how to be a better human being It helps you make peace with your decisions accept them with grace and let go of what no longer serves youThe Kedarnath Temple is one of the twelve jyotirlinga of Shiva The temple is located on the Garhwal Himalayan range near the Mandakini river in the state of Uttarakhand India Due to extreme weather conditions the temple is open to the general public only between the months of April and NovemberShe added that this year she felt that while daily practice is important sometimes its just as vital to step away from everythingTo go in search of an experience that grounds you even deeper And for me that experience was my visit to Kedarnath At around 330 AM during Brahma Muhurat we were fortunate enough to get Darshan at the temple And from that moment until nearly 9 AM I simply couldnt bring myself to leaveI found myself lingering in the temples divine surroundingssilent overwhelmed completely at peace she addedThe actress said that as she stood before the snowcapped mountains slowly revealing themselves in the morning light and as the first rays of the sun touched the snowy peaks behind the temple I felt blessed beyond wordsEvery person who visits Kedarnath finds their own experience their own magical moment I found mine And Im carrying it home with mein my heart in my breath and in my practice Wishing you all a very happy internationalyogaday Ps dear prajaktaofficial this was truly special

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/from-missiles-to-meaning-what-the-israel-iran-conflict-tells-us-about-strategic-clarity-621601.html When war breaks out it often seems sudden But most conflicts dont start with the first missile They build over timethrough years of quiet tension shifting doctrines and unspoken red lines The current fighting between Israel and Iran is not an isolated exchange It is the culmination of longstanding rivalry now out in the open with deadly precision on both sidesnbspIsraels recent aerial campaign involving over 200 aircraft struck deep into Irantargeting nuclear facilities military assets and highranking commanders Iran retaliated within hours launching over 150 missiles and waves of drones at Israeli cities The impact has been both military and symbolic a shift from the shadows of proxy conflict into the spotlight of direct stateled warfareWhile this war may feel distant from India its deeper patterns resonate It shows how modern states prepare for pressure manage escalation and make strategic choicesnot just through force but through the timing and clarity of that forcenbspPreparation in both cases was not loud It was deliberate Israels ability to launch such a coordinated strike didnt appear overnight It followed years of intelligencegathering cyber disruptions and military readiness Irans swift counterstrike too reflected advance planning not emotional reaction Theres a message in this the most effective deterrents are often the least visible until theyre usedIndias own security posture has followed a similar logic The doctrine of strategic restraint is sometimes misunderstood as inaction But time and again India has shown that when the situation demands it responses are calibrated prepared and purposeful The absence of constant retaliation does not mean the absence of readinessnbspDeterrence in todays world has evolved far beyond conventional firepower The IsraelIran conflict is a reminder that modern deterrence is layered Israels missile defence systems particularly the Iron Dome intercepted much of what Iran sent But equally important were its alliances particularly with the US and its cyber and surveillance capabilities Irans strategy combined its missile range with psychological and political messaging showing it too could operate openlyIndias deterrence approach while different in geography and scale carries its own complexitiesranging from a credible nuclear posture to advances in cyber readiness surveillance infrastructure and diplomatic reach Deterrence ultimately is about shaping the choices of adversaries And shaping choices requires both capacity and claritynbspTechnology in this conflict has not only influenced outcomesit has controlled the pace Precisionguided systems satellite surveillance drone swarms and cyber tools have allowed both sides to act decisively without losing control This is not warfare as it once was It is calibrated algorithmic and often invisible until it landsnbspIndia too is moving toward this space The expansion of spacebased ISR systems indigenous missile defence and unmanned systems isnt just about modernizationits about creating options And options in moments of crisis mean leverageWhat also stands out in this war is how both sides have adjusted their doctrines without abandoning their principles Iran known for proxy warfare responded directly Israel known for targeted covert actions chose overwhelming visibility Neither lost control Instead both adapted their strategies to the momentnbspIndia is no stranger to doctrinal evolution The shift from passive posture to proactive strikeswhether surgical or airbasedshows a growing willingness to blend predictability with flexibility Strategic thinking today cannot afford to be rigid It must be resilient responsive and built on a foundation that permits creative responses under pressurePerhaps most instructive is what hasnt been said Despite the severity of their attacks neither Israel nor Iran has indulged in exaggerated threats or dramatic announcements The messaging has been deliberate often through action more than rhetoric This kind of strategic communicationmeasured disciplined but unmistakableis becoming more vital than evernbspIndias strategic voice has often mirrored this quiet strength In moments of crisis the focus has generally been on calibrated response rather than theatrical display This builds credibility over timeamong allies adversaries and ones own public In a world of fast reactions and viral narratives deliberate silence can be its own form of powerThe IsraelIran war is still playing out It may yet spill into wider regional or global consequences But even in its current form it offers something valuable not instructions but insights It reminds us that conflict in the modern age is shaped not only by weapons but by decisions made long before the trigger is pullednbspFor India watching this conflict is not about imitationits about awareness The clearest way to avoid chaos is to be so prepared so measured and so strategically clear that escalation becomes unnecessary Readiness isnt just a military virtueits anbspnational one

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/awake-children-sleeping-nation-state-of-schooling-in-india-621604.html Summer vacation is about to end Children have no choice but to reset their biological clocks for an arduous schedule The magnificent school buildings await themnbspThere was a time when the word school meant far more than a building or a schedule It was a space where the foundations of life were laidby igniting minds nurturing friendships sowing values and building character From the gurukuls of ancient India to the corridors of Eton education has been the silent architect of history The Duke of Wellington once said The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton He was referring to how education shaped the British to defeat Napoleons forces at Waterloo Closer home it was the virtues of our education system that helped Lord Ram and the Pandavas rise to their destinies and face adversity with unwavering resolveThe thread that connects these legends and leaders across time is school educationnbspBut the presentday ecosystem of schooling in our country warrants critical scrutinynbspChildren are made to wake up at hours their bodies and minds are not ready for School starts too early leaving kids sleepdeprived fatigued and blearyeyed This is despite clear scientific evidence highlighting the need for proper rest during the growing years The American Psychological Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have drawn attention to this issue by publishing a position statement that schools should begin no earlier than 830 AM In the US many states like Florida and California have enacted such legislation Unfortunately in India school timings are dictated more by district administration than by educational wisdomespecially during scorching summers or biting wintersThe transportation system further exacerbates the problem The morning scene outside schools paints a picture of chaos and unsafe practices Children and parents cling to the edges of twowheelers without helmets and cars speed by with unbelted passengers There is little regard for fellow parents walking or driving other vehicles Nearmisses are the normcelebrated with pride while dropping children to school Parents engage in verbal spats and the dismal story continues Are children sacrificing their sleep only to witness this chaos and indisciplinenbspIt is said that it takes only 21 days to form a habit Yet children are subjected to unruly habits for years Do we want to inculcate in them the habits of being rude rulebreakers and irresponsible citizensWe are laying the foundation for a quiet epidemic where tired children struggle with concentration anxiety and psychological distressbefore the morning school bell even ringsnbspEven before they open a book children are burdened by heavy backpacks The National Education Policy NEP 2020 recommends that bags should not weigh more than 10 of a childs body weight Let us assume a Class 1 student weighs 20 kghis or her bag should be no more than 2 kg Ironically many young souls carry school bags heavier than what their backs and bones can sustain This sustained burden harms posture in the long runWorse still the quality of learning inside classrooms is questionable Activities and projects meant to foster creativity are often completed by parents or purchased from the market This kills creativity defeating the very purpose of activitybased learningnbspFurthermore the emotional bridge between students and teachers has weakened Once revered as second parents teachers today are treated merely as service providers by many parents The sacred bond has given way to contractual obligations The result is an emotionally sterile environmentThe lunchbox once symbolized independence bonding and good health In our times they were filled with homecooked nourishment reflecting the culinary skills of mothers and the richness of Indian kitchens Sadly todays lunchboxes are loaded with unhealthy processed and fast food throughout the week No wonder obesity low immunity and chronic deficiencies of essential vitamins like D B12 and C are on the riseeven in a sunlit country like oursIn our school days the game period was nonnegotiable We spent hours outdoorsplaying falling getting up But despite the NEPs emphasis on regular physical activity todays children mostly remain seated in classrooms Its more convenient for schools to manage stillness than to nurture energy We are raising children on school benches when the world needs them to stand up strongnbspAnd here lies the greatest irony of all the erosion of trust between parents and educators Rather than being partners in shaping the child there is now suspicion control and interferencenbspIndian schools were once gateways to our global dominance The institutions founded decades ago have not kept pace with time yet boast legacy The schools that once set educational benchmarks now risk falling behind Teachers in private schools despite their potential are often underpaid and overworkeda sharp departure from the days when the best minds took responsibility for nurturing the youngIn earlier times the communitys ablest members considered it their duty to raise children who would serve society and the nation As the Japanese saying goes It takes a village to raise a child What we do collectively as a society will determine the fate of every child Today profit motives lead to overcrowded classrooms faculty shortages and a clear decline in qualitynbspWe forget that todays students are tomorrows citizensthe future workforce policymakers leaders and guardians of our collective values If we compromise on their education we compromise our nations futureMany of us come from humble backgrounds educated in government or modest private schools We had a voice a face and freedom It is now upon us to ensure that this generation does not lose its voice under the burden of systems schedules and soulless routinesnbspEducation is not just about academics It is about shaping humanswith minds that question hearts that care and bodies that thrive It is a sacred responsibilitynbspLet us not raise children who are wide awake in a system that is fast asleep Let us awakenas parents as educators and as a nation Before itsnbsptoo late

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/when-habit-holds-and-everything-else-wavers-618032.html In the world of policing no two days look the same An uneventful morning can turn into a crisis by noon A routine patrol can spiral into confrontation The rhythm of the job is shaped not by predictability but by unpredictability And yet the best officersthose who stay grounded in the heat of the momentdo not rise to chaos with sudden brilliance They fall back on habitnbspThere is something deeply instructive in thatnbspPolicing by its nature demands constant interaction with the uncertain But the lessons learned in uniform are not confined to law enforcement They are life lessons transferable to anyone who must navigate pressure lead others or make difficult decisions when the path forward is unclearHabit in this context is not mindless repetition It is lived discipline A set of internal tools honed through daily practicetools that reduce noise sharpen focus and allow for movement when fear or fatigue might otherwise paralyse actionnbspConsider the habit of showing up prepared For a police officer the uniform isnt just clothingits a state of mind How one shows up for duty often sets the tone for how one responds to duty In any profession whether corporate or civil the same applies Start sharp and you signal intent Not just to othersbut to yourselfnbspThen there is presence In moments of unrest or confusion physical presence matters In the field it reassures citizens and holds teams steady In boardrooms or classrooms it earns trust Real leadership doesnt hide when tension risesit walks toward itPolicing also teaches the habit of paying attention to the periphery Not just to whats loud but to whats quiet The unspoken tension in a room the hesitant voice in a meeting the one person who says less but watches morethese signals often missed reveal the real story This habit honed on the street works just as well in policy negotiation or everyday relationshipsnbspWriting is another essential habit In law enforcement a wellwritten report is more than a recordits protection against forgetfulness confusion or misjudgment But writing in any context also serves another purpose it forces clarity It slows down thought It holds the writer accountable to their own reasoningnbspAnd when it comes to speaking theres a simple rule the calmest voice in the room often carries the most influence In a confrontation or a crisis volume escalates Clarity deescalates Policing demands a tone that commands attention without provoking it The same principle applies across professionsespecially when stakes are highPreparationtrue hard deliberate trainingis another transferable habit In the force drills are not rituals they are life insurance In civilian life too success rarely comes from inspiration It comes from rehearsal Whether preparing for a presentation or planning a districtwide intervention the same rule holds you dont improvise under pressureyou execute what youve preparednbspTrust within teams is perhaps the most overlooked habit Great police work isnt done alone Its done in units that rely on one another completely The same is true of reformers innovators educators or entrepreneurs Good systems dont just need ideas They need people who believe in each otherBut none of these habits endure unless they are rooted in values In law enforcement integrity isnt a slogan Its a habit A line that once drawn isnt crossed And when something goes wrongas it always doesits the habit of accountability that makes all the difference The willingness to own the result To write the final line in the report and stand by itThese habitsformed in khakhi tested in heat and refined over timeare not just for police officers They are for anyone who must carry responsibility through complexity They work quietly They rarely make headlines But they are what hold steady when everything else begins to shakenbspIn a world of noise speed and unpredictability they remain the most underrated form of strength consistent clear and earned https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/when-habit-holds-and-everything-else-wavers-618032.html Mon, 26 May 2025 14:12:00 +0530

every call every conversation every quiet decision might mat ter more than it first seemsAfter more than thirty years in the Indian Police Service I no longer wait for clarity before I move I rely on habits that holdpatterns that help me stay calm think straight and lead better especially when the ground beneath feels un certainThe job has taken me from riot zones to cybercrime cells from disaster sites to policy meetings The people prob lems and pace are always shifting But some principles remain steady What I offer here isnt a manual Its not doctrine These are fieldtested habits that help me stay effective in a world that is volatile and uncertainThey fall under three principles Ive come to live byday after day case after case meeting after meeting Stand tall Stay sharp Stick togetherStand TallThe first habit is simple to say hard to sustain begin with who you are not what surrounds youIn uniform youll often be expected to bend It may not come as a direct orderit might be a silence youre meant to maintain a shortcut youre meant to take But the strength of any institution lies in the abil ity of its people to quietly hold the line That doesnt mean shouting or showing defiance Most of the time it just means quietly refusing to drift from what you know is rightIve seen how calm especial ly in tension resets the room Its not passivity Its practiced intent When everyone is rush ing the officer who slows the momentwith voice gaze or gesturebecomes the anchor That kind of steadiness I be lieve can be learnedYou will fail Youll follow every rule and still see thingsfall apart Youll be blamed for what wasnt yours and praised for what wasnt entirely your doing But if youre still willing to show up the next morning and do your damndest youre in the fightAnd when the regular tools no longer work think side ways Many of the hardest cases Ive seen didnt crack through procedure but through per spective A small inconsistency A voice that didnt match the narrative A juniors passing comment Lateral thinking isnt clevernessits essential when conventional paths closeStay SharpIn this job you rarely have perfect information But you still have to decideYou learn to size up quickly Not by rushing but by training your eye and ear to pick up patterns energy hesitation tension What someone isnt saying often matters as much as what they areThis kind of intuitive assess ment improves with experi ence But it only sharpens if you expose yourself to a variety of roles Ive served in chief minister office cybercrime counterterror and sports promotion Each assignmentexpanded the way I understand pressure teamwork risk and timing The broader the experi ence the better your instincts And one thing that surprises people when I say it kindness helps More than you think In a system where people expect delay or disinterest a timely reply a fair decision or an act of quiet empathy goes a long way It earns trust builds reputation and smooths the path for everything elseStick Together No meaningful outcome in policing happens alonenbspBehind every success Ive had is a teamoften quiet of ten unnoticed The constable who stayed overtime The clerk who caught the discrepancy The inspector who nudged me to look again These are the people who make policing work If you lead you must honour themLeadership is not always loud Its sometimes just pres ence Ive sat beside victims colleagues even adversaries and said nothing And in that silence something important happened Just being there with attention not agendais a form of serviceshow up before the crisis If the only time people see you is when trouble arrives they wont trust you Presence in calm builds trust for chaos Walk the lane before the raid Visit the court before the hear ing Meet the people before the protestI wont claim Ive mastered these habits But Ive leaned on them And theyve helped me stay steadyon days when nothing else wasThese arent rules Theyre reminders And they may be useful to anyone who faces complexity uncertainty or responsibility You dont need a badge to live them You just need to show up with intent stand firm when its easier to waver and keep the people around you strongStand tall Stay sharp Stick togetherThese habits help me serve They might help you too Thats The Good Cop Manifesto DAILY WORLD

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/us-parents-split-on-right-age-to-talk-about-body-changes-with-kids-study-612386.html New York April 21 Parents are evenly split on right age to start talking about puberty with kids a US study said on Monday adding that most parents agree that talking to their kids about puberty is important but when and how to start the conversation is often less clear Among the most common challenges for parents choosing the right age to start talking about body changes and whether to explain sex according to the University of Michigan Health CS Mott Childrens Hospital National Poll on Childrens HealthIts easy to assume a child is too young for conversations about puberty but many parents are surprised to find their tween already showing signs of puberty or asking unexpected questions about body changes said Mott Poll CoDirector Sarah ClarkStarting the conversation early gives parents a chance to shape the message in an ageappropriate way and help kids know what to expect so theyre not confused or anxious If parents dont open the door to these talks kids may get their information elsewhere like from classmates social media or what they see on TV Clark addedParents polled shared a range of approaches worries and gaps in preparing their tweens for this major stage of developmentAbout half of parents describe their approach to talking with their child about puberty as proactive while two in five say they talk about it only when asked Another 5 per cent avoid the conversation altogetherOne in five parents also worried about feeling embarrassed while one in six feared saying the wrong thing when it came to the subject Among parents of children 1012 years a quarter say their child doesnt want to talk about puberty and among parents of children 79 years nearly a third believe their child is too young to understand said the studySome of the hesitancy about broaching this subject may stem from parents own experiences Clark notedWhether they realise it or not parents may bring their own experiences into their parenting approach Clark said Many parents said they had little or no discussion of puberty when they were young If puberty was treated as an awkward or embarrassing subject growing up that can make it harder to know how to beginAnother common challenge shared by parents was whether when and how much to talk about sex and reproductionEarly conversations should focus on making kids aware that they will experience physical and emotional changes and reassuring them that those changes are normal Discussions about sex can occur over time Clark saidMany parents also report that their child has asked about their own body their parents body or other pubertyrelated topicsOngoing supportive discussions are also key as children grow and encounter new phases of puberty she added IANS https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/us-parents-split-on-right-age-to-talk-about-body-changes-with-kids-study-612386.html Mon, 21 Apr 2025

lesson she learned from her fiveyearold daughter Sappho is patience Talking about that one lesson she has learned from her child that she wishes she knew earlier in life Kalki told IANS Patience Everything in its own timeThe 41yearold actress spoke about the importance of understanding a childs developmental stages especially how their brain affects impulse controlYou realize the difference in your childs capabilities between ages three five and seven and it goes by so fast But when youre in that moment when theyre three and struggling with something you have to remember they havent fully developed their prefrontal cortexThats the part of the brain that controls impulses So if Im angry with you I could slap you but I dont because I have a developed prefrontal cortex Kids dont have that yet so they might slap you We often dont realize that theres a biological reason for these impulsesIts not because they hate you and its not personal its just that they dont know how to manage their impulses By four she was able to manage her impulses she could be angry and not hit me she addedShe talked about how guidance from a child psychologist helped her navigate milestonesKnowing these developmental stages is so important We were informed about these things through our child psychologistthings like at what age a child should no longer need diapers or at what age they should be sleeping on their ownShe added These are things you dont know unless you speak to a professional or you figure it out by the time you have your second child having seen it with your first So its very important that theres education on that IANS https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/kalki-koechlin-learned-patience-from-her-daughter-sappho-612084.html Sat, 19 Apr 2025 09:45:00 +0530

District of Jammu and Kashmir highlighted the transformative impact of the Direct Benefit Transfer DBT system emphasising its role in plugging leakages and improving welfare delivery across India He said it grew from 28 schemes in 201314 to 320 schemes saving Rs 348 lakh crore Speaking to IANS Dr Ahmad said All central government schemes whether it is the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana MGNREGA Swachh Bharat Mission or PMKisan Yojana are being implemented hereIf we talk about Direct Benefit Transfer DBT earlier all subsidies were given either by cheque or in cash A study revealed that only about 15 per cent of the subsidy amount would reach the beneficiaries But now through DBT the funds are being directly transferred to the beneficiaries bank accountsDr Ahmad further elaborated on the expansion of DBT since its inception In 201314 only 28 schemes were launched under DBT on a pilot basis Over time the system became so successful that today 320 schemes are being implemented through DBT The efficiency of the system has grown substantially he saidHe credited the JAM trinity Jan Dhan Aadhaar and Mobile connectivity as the backbone of DBTs successWith Jan Dhan every citizen now has a bank account which has brought financial inclusion to many who were previously excluded Aadhaar has 99 per cent coverage for the adult population Mobile connectivity has increased from 53 per cent in 2013 to 85 per cent in 2024 he saidThis JAM trinity has been instrumental in reducing duplicacy and bogus beneficiaries Since all beneficiaries now have a unique ID a bank account and mobile connectivity there is no scope for fraudulent claims Dr Ahmad addedIndias DBT system has led to cumulative savings of Rs 348 lakh crore through reduced leakages and bogus claims Beneficiary coverage expanded from 11 crore in 2014 to 176 crore in 2024The newly developed Welfare Efficiency Index WEI which quantifies fiscal and social gains surged from 032 in 2014 to 091 in 2023 underscoring systemic improvementsDespite an increase in welfare budgets from Rs 21 lakh crore in 200910 to Rs 85 lakh crore in 202324 proportional subsidy allocations have declined highlighting DBTs fiscal prudenceFood subsidies alone accounted for Rs 185 lakh crore in savings or 53 per cent of the total Schemes like MGNREGS and PMKISAN have achieved 98 per cent timely wage transfers and saved Rs 22106 croreAadhaarlinked authentication has eliminated ghost beneficiaries enabling broader coverage without proportional increases in spendingWhen we analyse the data over the last decade we see that policy implementation is just as important as the policy itself A policy may be excellent but its true success is determined by its efficient implementation on the ground Dr Ahmad emphasisedFor this purpose we developed a Welfare Efficiency Index WEI a statistical tool that wasnt available before We used this tool to evaluate the efficiency of various welfare schemes he added IANS

disadvantage both economically and medically than those who are married or in a longterm relationship finds a study The study published in the journal Psychological Science reveals people who stay single also have lesser satisfaction in life compared to those in relationships It showed that single people have different personality traits compared to partnered peopleThese findings point to the need for developing helpful networks catered to single people This is especially crucial as people get older and may become more reliant on others said the team from the University of Bremen in GermanyWhen there are differences they might be especially important in elderly people who face more health issues and financial issues said Julia Stern one of the lead authors and a senior researcher at the varsityThey need more help and the help is usually the partner she addedIn the study her team compared 77000 Europeans who are both single and partnered individuals on life satisfaction ratings and the Big Five personality traits openness to experience conscientiousness extroversion agreeableness and neuroticismIn addition to lower life satisfaction scores lifelong singles were found to be less extroverted less conscientious and less open to experience compared to partnered peopleFurther the team found that single women scored higher on life satisfaction than single men while the elderly tended to be happier with their singlehood status than middleaged singlesSingles may grow happier with age but their lower scores compared to partnered people are still worrying said the team

week may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes according to a longterm US study Published in the BMJ the researchers also found that increased consumption of milk but not dark chocolate was associated with longterm weight gainChocolate contains high levels of flavanols a natural compound found in fruits and vegetables which have been shown to promote heart health and reduce the risk of diabetesBut the link between chocolate consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes remains controversial due to inconsistent resultsIn addition most previous studies have not looked at whether eating dark and milk chocolate which have different cocoa milk and sugar content might have different impacts on the risk of type 2 diabetesTo explore this further researchers combined data from three longterm US observational studies of female nurses and male healthcare professionals with no history of diabetes heart disease or cancer when they were recruitedThey analysed associations between type 2 diabetes and total chocolate consumption for 192208 participants and chocolate subtype dark and milk consumption for 111654 participants over an average monitoring period of 25 yearsIn the analyses for total chocolate 18862 people developed type 2 diabetesAfter adjusting for personal lifestyle and dietary risk factors the authors found that people who ate at least five servings a week of any type of chocolate showed a significant 10 per cent lower rate of type 2 diabetes compared with those who rarely or never ate chocolateIn analyses by chocolate subtypes 4771 people developed type 2 diabetesAfter adjusting for the same risk factors people who ate at least five servings a week of dark chocolate showed a significant 21 per cent lower risk of type 2 diabetes but no significant associations were found for milk chocolate intakeThe researchers also found a 3 per cent reduced risk of type 2 diabetes for each additional weekly serving of dark chocolateClinical trials needed to

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/women-with-ovarian-removal-at-greater-alzheimers-risk-later-in-life-study-587720.html Toronto Dec 5 Women who have had both ovaries surgically removed before age 50 and carry a variant of the apolipoprotein gene are at a high risk of latelife Alzheimers disease a new study said on Thursday The research published in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease by a team from University of Toronto in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Alberta found that a variant of the apolipoprotein gene the APOE4 allele out such women at high risk of Alzheimers and the use of hormone therapy mitigates this riskBy 2050 Alzheimers disease is projected to affect 127 million individuals age 65 and older with women comprising twothirds of that numberIt is still unclear why Alzheimers disease is more prevalent in women than in men but it may have to do with early life events such as ovary removal surgery oophorectomyThe researchers analyzed a cohort of 34603 women from a large dataset the UK Biobank and found that in this cohort women who had had both ovaries surgically removed at the approximate age of 43 showed four times the odds of developing Alzheimers disease when compared to women who entered natural menopause at a mean age of 54One of our most important findings was the fact that loss of the naturally occurring hormone endogenous estradiol as a result of surgical removal of both ovaries might interact with the APOE4 allele to further increase Alzheimers disease risk placing women with early bilateral oophorectomy and APOE4 in a state of double jeopardy said Dr Gillian Einstein from University of TorontoAPOE4 is a known risk factor for Alzheimers disease in the general population but presents greater risk in womenSurprisingly there was also a modest relationship between body mass index BMI and Alzheimers disease risk but only for the women with early ovarian removalEach additional unit of BMI was associated with a 7 per cent lower risk of developing Alzheimers diseaseHigher BMI might be associated with a decreased Alzheimers disease risk in women with ovary removal surgery because adipose tissue produces estrone one of the three endogenous estrogens which in the absence of estradiol due to oophorectomy may help maintain cognitive function in early middle age said Dr Noelia Calvo from the University of TorontoThe finding highlights the importance of estrogenbased therapies in decreasing Alzheimers disease risk for women who have had their ovaries surgically removed before the age of 50 IANS

and learn a new language according to a new study A team of international scientists led by the University of South Australia and published in the Journal of Neuroscience revealed that the coordination of two electrical events in the sleeping brain significantly improves our ability to remember new words and complex grammatical rulesIn an experiment with 35 native Englishspeaking adults researchers tracked the brain activity of participants learning a miniature language called Mini Pinyin that is based on Mandarin but with similar grammatical rules to EnglishMini Pinyin contains 32 verbs and 25 nouns including 10 human entities 10 animals and five objects Overall the language contains 576 unique sentencesHalf of the participants learned Mini Pinyin in the morning and then returned in the evening to have their memory testedThe other half learned Mini Pinyin in the evening and then slept in the laboratory overnight while their brain activity was recordedResearchers tested their progress in the morning Those who slept performed significantly better compared to those who remained awakeThis coupling likely reflects the transfer of learned information from the hippocampus to the cortex enhancing longterm memory storage said lead researcher Dr Zachariah CrossSleepbased improvements were linked to the coupling of slow oscillations and sleep spindles brainwave patterns that synchronise during NREM sleepPostsleep neural activity showed unique patterns of theta oscillations associated with cognitive control and memory consolidation suggesting a strong link between sleepinduced brainwave coordination and learning outcomes Dr Cross addedResearcher Dr Scott Coussens said the study underscores the importance of sleep in learning complex linguistic rulesBy demonstrating how specific neural processes during sleep support memory consolidation we provide a new perspective on how sleep disruption impacts language learning Dr Coussens said Sleep is not just restful its an active transformative state for the brainThe findings could also potentially inform treatments for individuals with languagerelated impairments including autism spectrum disorder ASD and aphasia who experience greater sleep disturbances than other adults IANS https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/8-hour-sleep-boosts-language-learning-too-says-study-587773.html Thu, 05 Dec 2024 18:13:00

https://dailyworld.in/lifestyle/stimulating-nrem-sleep-can-boost-cognitive-function-memory-585523.html New Delhi Nov 23 A team of scientists has uncovered a key mechanism by which sleep enhances neuronal and behavioural performance potentially changing our fundamental understanding of how sleep boosts brainpower While its well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance the underlying neural mechanisms particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement NREM sleep remain largely unexploredA new study by a team of researchers at Rice University and Houston Methodists Center for Neural Systems Restoration and Weill Cornell Medical College aimed to uncover this phenomenonPublished in the journal Science the research revealed how NREM sleep the lighter sleep one experiences when taking a nap for example fosters brain synchronisation and enhances information encoding shedding new light on this sleep stageThe researchers replicated these effects through invasive stimulation suggesting promising possibilities for future neuromodulation therapies in humansThe implications of this discovery potentially pave the way for innovative treatments for sleep disorders and even methods to enhance cognitive and behavioural performanceDuring sleep we observed an increase in lowfrequency delta wave activity and synchronised firing among neurons across different cortical regions said Dr Natasha Kharas a former researcher in Dragois lab and current resident in neurological surgery at Weill CornellAfter sleep however neuronal activity became more desynchronised compared to before sleep allowing neurons to fire more independently This shift led to improved accuracy in information processing and performance in the visual tasks Kharas addedThe findings demonstrated that sleep improved the animals performance in the visual task with enhanced accuracy in distinguishing rotated imagesImportantly this improvement was unique to those who actually fell asleep the macaques that experienced quiet wakefulness without falling asleep did not show the same performance boostThis finding is significant because it suggests that some of the restorative and performanceenhancing effects of sleep might be achieved without the need for actual sleep said Valentin Dragoi professor of electrical and computer engineering at RiceThe idea that NREM sleep effectively boosts the brain in this way and that this resetting can be mimicked artificially offers potential for developing therapeutic brain stimulation techniques to improve cognitive function and

linked with early experimentation with substances like alcohol nicotine and cannabis a new study has found Adolescents who spend more time on social media texting and video chatting are more likely to experiment with alcohol nicotine or cannabis one year later The study collected data for 8006 early adolescents aged 1112 years oldIn contrast time spent on other types of screen activities such as video gaming browsing the internet or watching TV movies or videos was not linked to the same risks said the study published in the journal Drug and Alcohol DependenceOur findings suggest that online social connections may be driving the relationship between screen time and early adolescent substance use explained Jason M Nagata an associate professor of paediatrics at the University of California San FranciscoWhen preteens are constantly exposed to friends or influencers drinking or smoking on social media they are more likely to see these behaviours as normal and may be more likely to try these substances themselves Nagata addedSocial media platforms often display substance use in a positive light and are frequently used for marketing campaigns promoting alcohol tobacco and cannabis productsWith developing brains that are still building impulse control young teens may be particularly vulnerable to this type of content and advertising said NagataSchools and parents may play an important role in addressing this issueSchools could consider media literacy programs that teach students about the influence of digital content on harmful behaviours said Kyle T Ganson assistant professor at the University of Torontos FactorInwentash Faculty of Social Work Parents can also help by monitoring content and setting clear guidelines for their teens screen useThe findings extend

and go the extra mile without the pressure of the box office and duration Yes OTT has definitely been a boom for filmmakers like me director Imtiaz Ali told IANS Someone who pleasantly surprised everyone with She that was aired on a popular OTT platform he remembers that the story was his constant companion for several years The moment I got a chance to make it for a channel there was no stopping me I think the best part about these digital platforms is the fact that you can tell the story you want to in a novel way And this is something any writerdirector dreams of he saidSeveral young directors also criticise OTTs for following an algorithm where thrillers are encouraged and big stars are preferred There have been trends in movies even now but people break them no I feel the same for OTTs There will always be those who will reverse trends and bring about fresher approaches said Ali at the ongoing Kasauli Literary Festival KLF in Himachal PradeshCurrently finalising a few scripts and developing a series for an OTT channel for which the production will start soon Ali who never went to a film school but immersed himself in theatre early on stated Frankly I do not miss learning filmmaking formally Theatre has been awesome for me It has really been the building block which has given birth to my ideas about performance and how to tell stories through people which is my job as a director At that time I felt it was important for me to actually absorb ontheground training from theatre rather than sitting in a classroom Also during my time film schools had a very theoretical approach Of course things have changed nowFor someone who has delivered major hits like Rockstar Jab We Met Highway and Tamasha it is now time to make cinema that refuses to be slotted What I am now constantly looking for are stories that do not try to belong to a certain genre They must be pure without a hint of any perconceived structure he smiledAll for smaller film festivals that have cropped up across the country even in lesspopulated towns this director feels that it is important that they are not restricted only to metro citiesI am in big favour of film festivals as they really encourage the culture of watching films There are grounds that facilitate conversations around cinema Even if some movies being screened there are criticised it is extremely healthy I still remember the time of singlescreen theatres when people like us would spend hours talking about the movies we saw Film festivals are bringing back those conversations Such festivals become an excellent place for people to rally around and talk about filmsA fan of world cinema and admirer of directors like the Serbian Emir Kusturica Wong Karwai and David Lean he added Among the new crop I have a deep appreciation for directors like Anurag Basu Zoya Akhtar Anurag Kashyap Raju Hirani and Ayan Mukherjee All of them are extremely talented people And yes Bimal Roy from yesteryears he

exclusively fed breast milk during their hospitalisation at birth were 22 per cent less likely to develop asthma in early childhood Although the birth hospitalisation lasts only a few days it sets a critical foundation for establishing breastfeeding which can influence health outcomes like childhood asthma according to research presented during the American Academy of Pediatrics 2024 National Conference and Exhibition in Orlando FloridaAccording to Laura Placke Ward codirector for the Center for Breastfeeding Medicine at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center the study underscores the importance of hospital practices in supporting exclusive breastfeeding as these early experiences may impact longterm healthThe authors noted that while longer duration and exclusive breastfeeding are known to reduce asthma risk the effect of breastfeeding during the birth hospitalization is less understoodFrom the 9649 children included in the study 81 per cent received some breast milk and 31 per cent exclusively received breast milk during the birth hospitalisationFive percent had a diagnosis of asthma Infants who received only breast milk had a lower rate of asthma diagnosis compared to those who did not receive any breast milk or did not receive breast milk exclusively after adjusting for sex race and insurance statusAdditionally infants whose first feeding was breast milk also had a lower rate of asthma compared to those whose first feeding was not breast milk the findings showedBy focusing on these crucial first days we may impact childrens health and potentially reduce the risk of chronic conditions like asthma said WardThe finding highlights the need for greater emphasis on supporting and promoting exclusive breastfeeding during the early days of life the study authors

factors that can help reduce the chances or reverse the odds of dementia by 60 per cent said experts on World Alzheimers Day on Saturday World Alzheimers Day is commemorated every year on September 21 to raise awareness about the stigma associated with dementia and Alzheimers disease and to increase public understanding of these disordersThe theme this year is Time to act on dementia Time to act on AlzheimersAlzheimers disease a debilitating cognitive and neurological disorder gradually erodes a persons memory language skills thinking skills and ability to perform even the simplest tasksIt primarily affects individuals over the age of 65 and is the leading cause of dementia in older adultsIt is one of the most common causes of dementia or memory loss The incidence of Alzheimers disease in India is growing steadily while it may not be alarming The disease is affecting the elderly more but it is also showing signs of increase in the younger populationThe time to act on dementia is to work on the preventable risk factors of dementia And if we work on the preventable risk factors of dementia we can reduce or reverse dementia by 60 per cent Dr Manjari Tripathi head of the neurology department at AIIMS told IANSSo what are these preventable risk factorsControlling blood pressure diabetes not smoking or drinking alcohol and reducing body weight or obesity levels There should also be no insomnia Take treatment for insomnia and obstructive sleep apnoea because sleep if impaired can impair memory Tripathi saidIn addition leading an unhealthy lifestyle which is sedentary with no exercise or not learning any new skill in old age being passive just sitting on the chair or staying more on the couch may also harm cognitive functionsResearch published in Alzheimers and Dementia revealed that 74 per cent of people aged 60 and older live with dementia in India amounting to roughly 88 million individuals The study was done using nationally representative data collected in India from 2017 to 2020Strikingly dementia prevalence was found to be higher among females 9 per cent compared to males 58 per cent particularly in rural areasThe research highlights that the number of Indians with dementia could rise to 169 million by 2036 if current trends continueWomen have a much higher lifetime risk of developing Alzheimers than men This could be due to a mix of biological genetic and lifestyle factors Dr Arindam Ghosh Consultant Neurologist Narayana Health Kolkata told IANSIn India where womens life expectancy is longer we see a notable gender disparity in Alzheimers cases Ghosh addedThe experts stressed the need for boosting awareness about the condition which can help in early diagnosisTripathi explained that Alzheimers has three stages early middle and late Therapy is begun in the early stage to prevent the disease from progressing at a fast rateIt is essential that all people are brought in early when the early symptoms start after which tests can be done to make the diagnosis the neurologist saidEarly symptoms include memory loss that disrupts daily life poor judgement losing track of dates or knowing the current location repeating questions or forgetting recently learned informationThe diagnosis is made carefully by taking clinical history from the caregiver and other neuropsychological tests like MRI brain blood tests like Vitamin B12 thyroid Vitamin D There are also biomarker tests after which we do a PET brain test and then diagnosis can be achieved Tripathi told IANSThe expert suggested people start actively making a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and aerobic exercises especially after the age of 35Besides a healthy lifestyle she suggested people indulge in cognitive tasks like puzzles sudoku art music pet therapy learning a new dance learning a new language and learning new skills basically to have a purpose in lifeIf you can act on all these then we can prevent dementia That is why it is time to act on dementia All these actions need to start by the age of 35 gradually Tripathi said IANS
