The UP government picked one product from every district in the state.
Ballia got the sattu laddoo, they rebranded it as Sattu Pops, fixed the packaging, and pushed it to international shelves.
What sounds like a boring policy document on paper turned into 700 women becoming financially independent.
Governance is just problem solving at scale and this one actually scaled

Extremely frustrated with @airtelindia @Airtel_Presence. Repeated complaints about poor voice quality and call drops are being closed arbitrarily without any actual resolution!
Requesting intervention.

@ajitsingh22 Hi Ajit, we’ve shared the details in your DM. Please review it and tell us if you need more support. Thanks, Team Airtel https://t.co/2G23qpKzzX

[Dr Ajit Singh @ajitsingh22]

@Airtel_Presence First of all,I’m Ajit, not Nishikant.
A typical Airtel way of working.
You again closed my ticket without resolution.
Though I again reopened it but I can feel, your service engineer was true to his heart, advising me better to port out than expecting a nice resolution.

[Dr Ajit Singh @ajitsingh22]

@airtelindia Fed up with @airtelindia closing my poor voice quality complaints without any actual resolution. It’s a loop of "completed" tickets but zero improvement. Need a real fix ASAP or my entire family will port out.

[Dr Ajit Singh @ajitsingh22]

@Airtel_Presence Sorry, but you didn't get it. Your on-ground engineer gracefully accepted that "Things can't change and you have to bear it. Porting out is your choice."
I have shared the details in DM anyway, continuing in good faith. Let's hope good sense prevails and this actually gets fixed.

A key finding from AIIMS New Delhi research highlights that increased screen time in children under one year of age is associated with a higher risk of autism by the age of three.

The study suggests that greater screen exposure may increase the likelihood of autism-related concerns. Experts recommend keeping children below 18 months away from screens.

Indian parents, this is important.

Short video apps: Reels, Shorts, TikTok-style content are not “just harmless entertainment.” A 2024 EEG study @FrontNeurosci found that higher short-video addiction scores were linked to reduced theta activity in the prefrontal cortex (the brain area responsible for attention and self-control).

Lower self-control. Weaker executive focus.

Another study in @JAMAPediatrics (2023) linked excessive early screen exposure to delayed language and executive development.

Children’s brains are highly plastic. Rapid, algorithm-driven dopamine bursts condition them to crave constant novelty. Over time, attention shortens. Irritability rises. Homework suffers. Social withdrawal increases. This is not about banning technology. It’s about boundaries.

@WHO guidance is clear:
• No screens under 2 years
• Max 1 hour/day (2–5 years)
• Structured limits for older children

*Create screen-free zones (meals, bedrooms).
*Use timers & parental controls.
*Model what you preach- children copy us.
*Replace scrolling with play, sports, reading, art.

Watch for warning signs:
Can’t stop? Angry without device? Falling grades? Seek early help.

A balanced childhood builds resilient adults.

Protect attention. Protect childhood.

BREAKING: Brave K9 tropper Tyson of India's 2 Para Special Forces was shot during intense counter-terror op in Jammu & Kashmir.

The elite German Shepherd was first to charge toward a terrorist hideout (dhok), sustaining a bullet wound yet continuing to advance undeterred — showcasing extraordinary courage and loyalty.

Tyson was immediately airlifted and is now reported safe & stable after receiving prompt medical care.

Shocking 🚨

NEET PG 2025 saw drastic cut off reduction leading to PG seats being allotted at negative and single/double digit marks out of 800 across India.

The trend has sparked a nationwide debate on merit, reservation policy, falling standards in medical colleges, and the future quality of specialist doctors in India’s healthcare system.

#WATCH | On Nipah virus, Dr Rajeev Jayadevan, Ex-President of IMA Cochin and Convener of the Research Cell, Kerala says, "Nipah virus circulates freely among bats, and they don't seem to die from it. But when human beings come into contact with bats, either directly or indirectly, the virus may accidentally jump into man, the virus can cause a severe form of brain infection or pneumonia, both of which carry a very high fatality rate. The death rate from Nipah can range from 73% to 91%. The initial symptoms are fever, body ache, headache, but in people who develop brain infection after that, they may get seizures or epilepsy, confusion, paralysis or coma. The symptoms are similar to those of other types of brain infections caused by viruses...The problem with Nipah is that it can also spread from patient to patient. It's extremely important to identify the first patient who develops the infection...It is extremely important, one, to make an early diagnosis. Two, to isolate a patient, and three, to treat the patient with standard precautions such as masks and gloves. Even more important is to track the contacts of these patients, because Nipah virus can jump from person to person and can cause a potentially fatal infection, which is why contact tracing is of great value in limiting the size of the outbreak...Unfortunately, there is no effective antiviral treatment or vaccine for the Nipah virus. Therefore, the treatment measures are only supportive and are extremely important to limit the size of the outbreak and prevent the virus from spreading far and wide to many people. This is why contact tracing is so valuable..."

ICMR यानि इंडियन काउंसिल ऑफ मेडिकल रिसर्च की हाल ही की एक रिपोर्ट बताती है कि निमोनिया और UTI जैसी बीमारियों में Antibiotic दवाएं कमजोर साबित हो रही हैं। इसका एक बड़ा कारण बिना सोचे-समझे इनका सेवन है। इसलिए मेरा आग्रह है कि Doctors की सलाह के बिना Antibiotics दवाएं ना लें।
