On #WorldEnvironmentDay2026, I joined the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 3.0’ plantation drive at PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1, Delhi Cantt., and planted a sapling. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to honour Mother Nature, express gratitude to our mothers and contribute to a greener future for Bharat.
Also had an enriching interaction with students whose awareness, enthusiasm and sense of responsibility towards environmental conservation inspire confidence in India's sustainable future.
Let us strengthen our resolve to protect the environment and nurture every tree we plant for the well-being of future generations.

Sambalpuri Handloom, Weavers' existence, Act East, Odia Asmita: With the MoU between WSC Bhubaneswar & Hindalco Industries Ltd., a focused initiative was launched to support Sambalpuri handloom clusters.
Any ground action?
- anything with the weavers' promised ecosystem?
- Odia Asmita and its actual delivery?
- Act East must begin at home, with dignity for artisans.
This is not just about fabric. It’s about identity, livelihoods, and cultural diplomacy.
Hope we are moving from MoUs to momentum.

Coastal Highway project to transform Odisha’s development landscape.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the greenfield Coastal Highway project from Rameswar to Paradip via Konark, covering 160.18 km with an investment of over ₹8,300 crore, for strengthening connectivity along Odisha’s coastline.
The project will be executed in two packages—Package I covering Rameswar to Kakatpur (79 km) as a 4-lane highway, and Package II covering Kakatpur to Paradip (80 km) as a 2-lane road.
Aligned with Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @NarendraModi Ji's Purvodaya vision, the project will enhance coastal connectivity, boost Odisha’s blue economy, promote tourism and industrial development, and generate significant employment opportunities for local youth.

Held a detailed review meeting on fund release and utilisation under Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, with focus on making Samagra Shiksha 3.0 more efficient, transparent and outcome-oriented.
An integrated approach through the convergence of SSA, PM-POSHAN, ULLAS, PM-SHRI and other flagship schemes will be undertaken from this year, thereby ensuring greater coordination and impact across the school education ecosystem.
Also discussed strengthening future Centre-State engagement while upholding the spirit of cooperative federalism.
There will be a renewed focus on the effective implementation of #NEP2020, with special emphasis on innovation, nutrition, skill development, sports and arts among students.
These efforts will play a pivotal role in nurturing empowered learners and building the human capital needed for #ViksitBharat2047.
🚨 HUGE! Modi Govt is seriously considering a major reform:
Handing over Question papers of all important national exams (including NEET) to the Defence Forces for SAFEKEEPING🤯
A high-level meeting was held at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence to make NEET & other competitive exams completely secure and transparent.
Several measures were discussed in detail to make the entire process FOOLPROOF & eliminate any possibility of irregularities or leaks in the future.
This would be a landmark step to restore full credibility in India’s examination system.
Defence Forces guarding exam integrity, big move coming! 🔥🇮🇳
VIDEO | Delhi: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on LoP Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's remark over alleged in discrepancies in CBSE exams, says, "Yesterday CBSE gave its response regarding this matter. It is in accordance with the procurement policy of the Government of India. I want to assure everyone that if any irregularities are found, no one will be spared.
But as far as Rahul Gandhi is concerned, he seems to have reached a different state of mind. Due to continuous electoral defeats, he appears frustrated. He opposed SIR, he used to oppose EVMs, and he opposed Digital India. He does not seem to stand with India’s scientific progress. As far as this issue is concerned, I myself take responsibility on behalf of the government for any inconvenience, and I request everyone that this is not the time for politics. I have said this earlier as well. Politics can be done later. Right now, the most important thing is that the mental stress of these students and examinees should not increase further. We appeal to everyone that no one’s words or behavior should add to their stress."

#WATCH | Delhi: On meeting with CBSE officials, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan says, "... CBSE has begun the revaluation process for the Class 12 examinations. Around 17 lakh students took part, with nearly 98 lakh answer copies — about 40 crore scanned pages in total. For the first time, CBSE has introduced a digital evaluation system, aiming for transparency and student‑centric reforms. Students can now access their scanned answer sheets to check marks and raise queries. So far, about 4 lakh students have retrieved their answer sheets, covering nearly 11 lakh copies. CBSE has involved top agencies, including IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras, to oversee the technology. Four PSU banks — SBI, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, and Canara Bank — have integrated payment gateways to support the process. The government acknowledges some discrepancies, accepts responsibility, and promises corrective measures. Officials will ensure that no student query left unresolved and accountability will be ensured at all levels..."
