"₹1,760 per SC student under Samagra Shiksha—what can that fund?" says Digambar Bagul, PhD Scholar

With ₹7,535 cr allocated for SC education in 2024-25, it amounts to just ₹1,760 per student, raising concerns over adequate funding for quality education

[Shreegireesh Jalihal @shreegireesh]

#Thread We @reporters_co investigated Modi Govt’s global PR machinery--its Ministry of Truth. What we uncovered: lobbying to downplay child hunger in global rankings, creating a poverty index to claim reduction in poverty, and even dodging responsibility for democracy!

Read on.

An orphaned Adivasi girl in Balangir, Odisha allegedly raped by a local influential/Dabang, and then the monster forced her to consume excreta.
However it is five days since her Complaint (16/11/2024) the Accused has not been arrested yet.

According to the victim the accused Dabang is close to the Local BJP MLA.
Police also have also not provided any protection to Her.
The family is living in fear.

Where is the outrage, the Candle light March? Stocked for the top of the Caste-Class Tower?
Will she meet ever Justice?

The rich and biodiversity-rich Hasdeo forest of Chhattisgarh is being destroyed for the profit-driven greed of the capitalist Adani group. This forest is not only invaluable from an environmental perspective but also serves as the lifeline and cultural and spiritual center for the tribal communities living here. The sacred site of Budha Dev, worshipped by the tribals as their deity, has been sacrificed to mining projects. All this has been carried out through forged Gram Sabha documents and illegal procedures, against which the tribals have been protesting for years. However, the Modi government's favoritism towards Adani and its inclination to protect his interests have not only silenced the voices of the tribals but also compelled the administration to stand firmly in Adani's favor. Moreover, this blatant plundering of forests and the environment has now attracted international attention. The recent action against the Adani group in the U.S. serves as evidence of how their business model is rooted in unlawful and exploitative practices. The damage inflicted on the tribals' culture, the forest's biodiversity, and their sacred site may be irreparable. This is not merely an issue of Chhattisgarh's tribals but a warning to the entire nation and humanity about how vulnerable our natural heritage has become in the face of capitalist greed. The struggle to protect Budha Dev's sacred site and the Hasdeo forest is no longer just a regional issue but has become a global symbol of the fight for environmental conservation and human rights. History will undoubtedly hold accountable those responsible for this destruction.

The coal-based power plant established by the Adani Group in Jharkhand's Godda district has deprived tribal communities of their land and livelihoods. In 2018, tribal land was forcibly acquired for this project, disregarding their traditional rights and constitutional provisions. Despite losing their land, the affected families were neither provided with adequate compensation nor properly rehabilitated, leaving their lives in crisis. A significant portion of the electricity generated by this power plant is being exported to Bangladesh, yielding substantial profits for the Adani Group. The central government has supported this project, prioritizing corporate interests over the concerns of local communities. This represents a grave injustice against tribal rights and environmental protection.

Priya Thithio (Garu, Latehar) turned 18 in early 2024. That’s when re-KYC is a must as per RBI, so she lost access to her bank account. She applied for KYC twice - no luck. She is trying again. She won’t be able to return to college in Lohardaga until it happen.

1/2 Punam Lakra’s bank account is frozen because her name is written ‘Punam Kumari’ in her Aadhaar card. Many Adivasi women in Jharkhand prefer to retain their ‘title’, but Aadhaar operators often turn them into Kumaris and Devis.

"Exports of military material to Israel constitute a serious violation of India’s obligations under international law. Law aside, we consider such exports morally objectionable. We demand, therefore, that India should immediately suspend these exports."

[Road Scholarz @roadscholarz]

Mitron, this is where some of your tax rupees are going - subsidizing companies like Adani-Elbit that supply military material to Israel.
