Harshit Godha was just 22 when he was interning in London in 2017. He had a UK degree and a bright future ahead of him.
But he quit the internship and made a decision that changed his life.
He flew to Israel to learn how to grow avocados on dry, barren land. Then he returned to Bhopal and applied the same techniques. Today, that 5 acre farm generates around ₹1 crore in annual revenue.
He didn’t go abroad just to build a career. He went to bring knowledge back home. India needs more innovation like this in agriculture.
While the whole country is debating petrol-ethanol, the bros from Madhya Pradesh have already pulled off what is arguably India's first major ethanol scam, not counting you know who.
There is a govt policy that surplus rice in govt warehouses can be sold to ethanol manufacturers at subsidised rates to prevent it from rotting.
According to a Dainik Bhaskar report, the scam began when some officials allegedly (willingly?) ignored the rules and allocated "newly procured" fortified rice (not even regular rice, but fortified rice) for ethanol production. The rice, bought at a high price (₹4,000 per quintal), was sold at a throwaway price (₹2,320 per quintal) to ethanol plants.
The ethanol plant operators allegedly knew it was fortified rice, so instead of using it to make ethanol, they sold it to rice millers at ₹2,800 per quintal, and instead bought cheap broken rice (₹2,100 per quintal) from the open market for ethanol production, making an overall profit of ₹700 per quintal.
The rice millers allegedly repacked the fortified rice in new gunny bags and supplied it back to the govt as freshly milled rice. The govt paid them milling charges, while the govt supplied paddy they were actually supposed to mill was allegedly sold in the open market for another round of profit.
So the same bag of rice allegedly kept changing hands: govt warehouse to ethanol plant to rice mill to back to govt warehouse. Everyone in the chain allegedly made money.
The MP govt formed an SIT. So far, four people have been arrested and 12 trucks seized. Investigators suspect that up to 50 lakh quintals of govt rice, worth around ₹1,160 crore, may have been diverted through this alleged racket.
No Bank executives interested in doing core banking anymore.
If Profit is the only motto , above national interest & public service , then tell me:
What's the real difference between a licensed Bank and a normal Money Lender?
One exploits with RBI stamp & public deposits. 🤡The other without.🤡 That's all...

What hundreds of people are facing right now railways can't understand
@AshwiniVaishnaw Sir please intervene
Still no action is taken, the train is standing for the last 45 mins
Totally now it's 4 hrs late midways
Today I realized how little value is placed on a common person's time and life in India.
Pathetic infrastructure and passenger communication by Indian Railways.
I boarded Train No. 12481 from Delhi and was supposed to reach my destination by 4:00 PM. It's already 6:00 PM, the train is over 2 hours late, and I'm still midway with no idea when I'll arrive.
No announcements. No updates. No information. No accountability.
Why is the train delayed? Hundreds of passengers are travelling on this train. Don't they deserve to know what's happening?
People are stranded midway, facing drinking water issues and other inconveniences.
And then we wonder why people lose hope and look for opportunities outside India.
Who is responsible for this?

Indian Railways has the mobile numbers of all passengers who book tickets. Why can't they provide the latest train status updates through WhatsApp or SMS?

A group of senior IAS officers living in New Moti Bagh, Delhi where many top bureaucrats reside.
They took money meant for Indian athletes and spent it on luxury facilities for themselves.
• ₹6.2 crore from the National Sports Development Fund (NSDF) • ₹2.8 crore from Khelo India
Instead of helping athletes, the funds were used to build:
• Temperature-controlled swimming pools • Premium badminton courts • State-of-the-art squash courts • Private gyms and health clubs • Luxury billiards rooms
The executive committee that approved the spending was largely made up of the same senior bureaucrats who benefited from it.
Meanwhile, athlete funding reportedly fell by more than 50%.
Indian athletes got less 🤡
Bureaucrats got luxury clubs 🤐
