Pittas are raining in Terai these days. It’s called ‘Navrang’, a bird of nine colours. A local migrant comes to the north every summers from peninsular India.
The future is being built today, and India's youth are at the centre of this transformation. With growing global interest in India's innovation ecosystem, sectors such as AI, Space, Green Energy, and Biotechnology are creating exciting possibilities for young talent.
Addressing beneficiaries during PM-VBRY incentive disbursal, PM @narendramodi emphasised that the world sees immense potential in India's youth. As new opportunities emerge across industries and borders, India's young minds are stepping forward with confidence, creativity, and ambition.

The future of the Aravallis is not something we inherit; it is something we build together.

Guided by the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, India has strengthened partnerships, supported nations in times of need and emerged as a trusted voice for the Global South.
Today, India's influence is defined not only by its economic strength but also by the trust it has built across the world.
This is the story of Bharat taking centre stage.
#12YearsOfIndiaFirst
India has increasingly emerged as a trusted first responder during global crises.
From humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to evacuation missions, Bharat's ability to provide timely support to partner countries has expanded significantly.
#12YearsOfIndiaFirst
India has emerged as a major investment destination. Foreign Direct Investment inflows increased from about ₹29 lakh crore during 2003–14 to more than ₹70 lakh crore during 2014–25, reflecting growing global confidence in India's economic potential.

On World Sickle Cell Awareness Day, let’s reaffirm our commitment to building a healthier and more equitable India.
Under the National Sickle Cell Anaemia Elimination Mission, screened over 7.19 crore individuals, identified more than 20.26 lakh carriers, diagnosed 2.46 lakh persons with Sickle Cell Disease, and distributed 4.82 crore Sickle Cell Cards.
These achievements reflect our collective efforts to ensure early diagnosis, timely treatment, genetic counselling and comprehensive care, particularly among tribal populations and vulnerable communities.
Let us continue working together towards our shared goal of eliminating Sickle Cell Disease as a public health challenge by 2047.

Glad to have addressed VivaTech 2026 in Paris. Talked about India’s remarkable strides in tech, innovation and StartUps. Highlighted how India is using tech to bring a positive difference in people’s lives.
@VivaTech
40 years in shipping gave me one unusual qualification as a historian: I had no academic orthodoxies to protect.
When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I followed the sea lanes backwards into deep antiquity. Without exception, they converged on the Indian subcontinent. This was not the book I had intended to write.
I must give credit to my editor, who gave an unknown author with a controversial approach, an opportunity. His first attempts to find peer reviewers encountered significant resistance. The argument that India sat at the centre of ancient world trade, not its periphery, was considered, to put it gently, inconvenient.
What I found, and what I could not stop finding, is that placing India at the centre of world history does not simply revise one chapter. It cascades. Correct the starting assumption and you are forced to reconsider the origins of mathematics, medicine, philosophy, linguistics, religion. Each conclusion leads to another. I came to call these the collateral heresies.
My three books explain the architecture of how they connect.
If you work in a field where received wisdom is protected by institutional interest rather than evidence, you will recognise the pattern. The question is whether the evidence eventually wins.
NITI Aayog is taking data-driven governance from the Strategy Room to the Last Mile through the nationwide deployment of NITI TARA (Toolkit for Analysis, Review and Action).
Building on the NITI for States Portal and the Viksit Bharat Strategy Room, NITI TARA is an integrated, portable governance solution that combines dashboards, geo-spatial maps, trend analysis and comparative insights on a single platform.
By transforming any wall into a touch-enabled interactive screen, it creates a ready-to-use collaborative review environment that enables structured, data-driven decision-making at the district and block levels.
NITI TARA is now being deployed across the country, with rollout underway across all Aspirational Districts and Aspirational Blocks, bringing data, planning tools, and collaborative review capabilities closer to the grassroots.
NITI Aayog announces the nationwide deployment of NITI TARA, with a capacity-building session in Kondagaon, Chhattisgarh, marking the start of implementation on the ground. The initiative aims to institutionalise evidence-based decision-making, strengthen planning and review processes at the last mile, and drive improved development outcomes towards Viksit Bharat through Viksit Districts and Viksit Blocks.

🚨 “The era that favoured software jobs and MBA degrees is coming to an end and that the country must place greater value on trade skills such as welding, plumbing, electrical work and carpentry.”
