Even after more than 1,000 years, its remarkable engineering and construction techniques continue to inspire curiosity and admiration.

Every child has the right to education, safety, and a childhood filled with dreams. Yet, millions of children are still forced into labour instead of attending school.
Child labour is a grave violation of children's rights and a serious threat to their future. It not only robs them of their childhood but also hinders the progress of society and the nation.
On World Day Against Child Labour, let us pledge to ensure that every child has access to education, opportunities, and a life of dignity and respect.

From a long-cherished aspiration to a historic reality, the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya stands as one of the most significant milestones in India's recent history.
Following the Supreme Court's verdict in 2019, the construction of the temple progressed through constitutional and democratic processes. With the Bhoomi Pujan in 2020 and the consecration ceremony in 2024, millions of devotees witnessed the fulfilment of a generations-old dream.
Today, the Ram Mandir is a symbol of faith, cultural heritage and civilisational continuity, while also contributing to Ayodhya's emergence as a major spiritual and cultural destination.
