IPS officer Ananya Awasthi has been appointed as the first woman Police Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to the Governor of Odisha by Governor Dr. Hari Babu Kambhampati.

A formal induction ceremony was held at Lok Bhavan, where the Governor welcomed her to her new assignment. Previously serving as ACP, UPD, Cuttack, she succeeds IPS officer Kuldeep Meena in the role.

The Governor is assisted by two ADCs—one from the Odisha Police and one from the Indian Navy. While Ananya Awasthi will serve as the Police ADC, Lieutenant Harshit Deo will continue as the Naval ADC.

Her appointment marks a significant step forward for women's representation in leadership and public service in Odisha.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi concludes his 5-nation visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Italy.

PM Modi gifted a Rogan Painting with Tree of Life, Kesar Mangoes and Meghalaya Pineapple to the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Rogan painting is a rare and exquisite textile art form from the Kutch region of Gujarat, celebrated for its intricate craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetic tradition. The Tree of Life motif in Rogan art is an ancient symbol of interconnectedness, strength, renewal, and continuity.

The Kesar Mango, a GI-tagged also called as Gujarat's "Queen of Mangoes," originated in Junagadh, Gujarat. Distinguished by its saffron-hued, fibreless pulp and intense aroma, it is celebrated through "Aamras" feasts that symbolise Gujarati hospitality and a prestigious heritage of tropical excellence.

These GI-tagged pineapples are celebrated as some of the finest in the world, thriving in the pristine, hilly terrains of Meghalaya, India. These pineapples are famous for their high sugar content and low acidity, offering a flavour profile that is intensely sweet and aromatic.

15 sociologists who understood society before society understood itself:

1. Karl Marx : the system does not just exploit your labor, it shapes your desires too so that you never stop labouring

2. Max Weber : modern life while chasing systematic existence traps people inside invisible cages called rules, efficiency, and routine

3. Émile Durkheim : loneliness is not personal failure, it is what happens when society loses cohesion

4. Pierre Bourdieu : your “taste” in music, food, language, culture is an inherited class privilege disguised as choice

5. Michel Foucault : power works best when you think someone is watching you all the time and you start policing yourself without anyone forcing you

6. Erving Goffman : social life is like performing in a theatre, and people are performing different roles in front of different audiences sometimes in front of others as front stage and sometimes in private as back stage

7. Zygmunt Bauman : modern relationships feel fragile because society itself has become unstable and always changing shapes like a liquid

8. C. Wright Mills : your private struggles are often public issues created by larger systems.. so if you are finding it difficult to find a job, it might be less about you and possibly more about how it might be the economy at this moment.. same is with personal struggles with relationships, break ups, divorces, depression, infidelity, meaninglessness.. it’s less about you and more about how the society is at the moment

9. Herbert Marcuse : people can feel free while living inside systems designed to control them

10. Jean Baudrillard : modern society does not consume products, it consumes symbols, images, illusions

11. Antonio Gramsci : the strongest domination is when people voluntarily accept the ideas hurting them

12. George Herbert Mead : your “self” is not born inside you, it is built through interaction with others.. so your image of yourself in your head is how you think others think about you..

13. Talcott Parsons : society survives because millions of people silently perform expected roles every day and agree with what rewards come with those roles

14. Harriet Martineau : you cannot understand a society unless you examine how it treats women and the powerless

15. Ulrich Beck : modern society creates risks so complex.. and society is categorised accordingly on how well one can ward off risk better than others.. and it’s reaching a point that even progress itself starts becoming dangerous

Will share more in coming days and how sociology really makes your life better 😊

It is a matter of great pride for Odisha to receive 17 CIDC Vishwakarma Awards at the national level, reflecting our steadfast commitment to engineering excellence and good governance.

I am pleased that our State Government Departments have secured 10 of these awards. The Department of Water Resources has earned 5 awards for exemplary irrigation and water management projects that strengthen rural livelihoods and empower our farmers. I also commend the Works and Sports Departments for their significant contributions to modern healthcare infrastructure and world-class sports facilities.

These honors truly belong to our engineers, architects, and workers, the modern-day Vishwakarmas, who are building a Samruddha Odisha and contributing to a Viksit Bharat. Guided by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji and the Double Engine government, we remain resolute in our commitment to building a developed and prosperous #Odisha.
