🚨 #ExpressInvestigation | The Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Bhagirath Choudhary, received a subsidy of Rs 99 lakh for his cucumber farm under a scheme administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare.
The subsidy was granted under the "Development of Commercial Horticulture through Production and Post-Harvest Management of Horticulture Crops" scheme, which aims to promote large-scale commercial cultivation of select vegetables and flowers.
Under the scheme, eligible beneficiaries — including individuals, farmer groups, companies, cooperatives and other institutions — can receive a subsidy of up to 50 per cent of the project cost, capped at Rs 1 crore per family.
The subsidy is linked to a term loan taken for the project and is released after the completion of the project, following multiple stages of approval and inspection by the National Horticulture Board (NHB).

The Delhi High Court just ruled against Google in a trademark case that every Indian founder needs to know about!!
Hindware sued because searches for "Hindware" returned competitor ads - Cera, Grohe, above their own listing. Customers looking specifically for Hindware were being intercepted at the moment of highest intent.
The court ruled it trademark infringement. Competitor keyword bidding on your brand name is now legally actionable in India.
Search your brand name on Google right now.
If a competitor's ad appears before yours, you have a case, and your competitor has a problem.
This reshapes performance marketing in India. Keyword bidding on competitor names is standard practice across every category - beauty, fintech, edtech, D2C.
The brands doing it most aggressively are also the ones most exposed to this ruling. Let's see how this pans out.
@FarziCricketer I’ve created a shortcut for an alarm to go off in 10 minutes of opening the Chess app. I play for 50 minutes after the alarm goes off. Everyday. I think I need therapy.
Dehradun is losing more than just trees, it’s losing its identity. As someone who grew up in this valley, it’s painful to watch the quiet erasure of the forests that shaped its soul. 🌳

Compelled by those atrocious Parle Marie ads, I wrote a tiny browser extension to auto mute certain IPL ads on Hotstar.
It actually works really well and also mutes Vimal, Kamla Pasand, My11, Pokerbaazi etc ads out of the box.

Watch these videos to understand how the YouTube class rooms function? This isn’t a slip as many justify? Have you ever wondered how the sigma male bytes given in class rooms always have someone shooting a video? You walk into an exam Center after the exam and have a bunch of kids surrounding you and saying ‘same question aaya’ and a video shoot emerges?
This was always the plan. A videographer is always at hand when they do the sigma male thing. It is a plan to grab eyeballs. It is a click bait. It is a plan to make short videos with BGM and have friendly handles share them. Some are even shared on official handles. Go through the handles that share such videos and you will find a pattern. Speaking to Modi Ji or talking about ‘Paper Out’ isn’t an off the cuff remark. It is executing a plan.
The person in one of the video is Navneet Bhargava. He is a Physics teacher from Darbhanga, Bihar. He runs a YouTube channel called Max Physics. Watch his interaction with students to understand what our children are being exposed to.
Remember the time when a Russian tourist was sexually harassed and asked her ‘rate’? This ‘knowledge’ is taught in the YT class rooms. Please Watch.
Increasingly, to be seen as a sigma male, to show off, for bravado, to be seen as not ‘hesitating’, some of the YouTube teachers and faculty are talking stuff that is not just wrong but criminal. In the garb of connecting with students, they talk abusive language, use slang, sexual innuendos.
This is not just about awareness. It’s a challenge to the @EduMinOfIndia@cbseindia29@PMOIndia@narendramodi . Clamp down on this industry before it destroys more young lives.
If you care about education, share this. If you demand action, make noise. Together, we can stop this race to the bottom.
