The handle @Hynish2024 (Panchsheel Hynish Reality) has now deleted the tweet after spreading false and defamatory allegations against me. This clearly indicates malicious intent. I request you to kindly investigate . I am ready to share screenshots

I would like to report that an unknown Twitter handle is continuously targeting and harassing me by spreading false and defamatory statements. This is causing reputational harm and mental distress.
Request you to kindly look into this.

Fifteen years ago, the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY - NRLM) set out to see women not just as caregivers, but as entrepreneurs, institution-builders, and citizens with agency.
Today, over 100 million women are part of this journey through 9 million SHGs and their federations.
At TRI, we’re proud to bring this story together in 'Claiming Our Skies: The Story of National Rural Livelihoods Mission', edited by Nagendra Sinha and Neelima Khetan.
The book brings together perspectives from over 30 practitioners, policymakers, and thought leaders who have walked closely with this journey. From Kerala to Jharkhand, and from financial inclusion to gender transformation, it reflects on what has worked and what lies ahead.
To all the contributors we’ve had the privilege of working with, thank you for bringing your insight and lived experience into these pages. We’re honoured to have built this together.

आज की यह रिपोर्ट सिर्फ एक वीडियो नहीं, बल्कि हमारे पहाड़ों की एक सिसकती हुई हकीकत है। पौड़ी के जिस 'बुघानी' गाँव ने देश को हेमवती नंदन बहुगुणा जैसा कद्दावर नेता दिया, आज उसी गाँव के स्कूल बच्चों की राह देख रहे हैं और घर वीरान पड़े हैं। https://t.co/juZoCdR74P
