In Maharashtra alone, an India-IFAD project has supported more than 10,000 women-led nano enterprises increase their annual income by ₹75,000.

Our AVP @DonalFBrown reflects on why India’s approach to rural development works, and how @IFAD are proud partners in this journey 👇

The new India-IFAD country strategy is grounded in demonstrated, replicable results!

🏦 In Maharashtra, nearly 1 million women have unlocked over ₹1,300 crore in bank lending.

👩‍🌾 In Meghalaya: stronger value chains are enabling smallholders to supply buyers as far as Dubai.

Slàinte Mhath!

For #BurnsNight, we got our favourite (only willing) Scottish colleague to take us through some phrases you may not have heard.

The UK’s beauty sector is worth nearly £24.5 billion and ranks among the top 10 largest global cosmetics markets. With that in mind, we asked our Deputy Trade Commissioner Anna Shotbolt, what’s in your bag?

#WorldHindiDay hits different when you’re a British diplomat living in Delhi. From ‘adrak wali chai’ to giving directions like a local -- we're ready for the Bollywood version of Netflix’s The Diplomat 😉

Testing our acting chops with one of our favourite British Christmas movies. Can you guess which one? 😉

In 2019, as Union Minister of Textiles, I launched the transformative Eri Silk Development for Women Empowerment (ESDWE) project in Chungtia village, Nagaland.

This initiative, coordinated by @CmertiCsb and sponsored by @TexMinIndia, empowered over 500 women farmers—equipping them with skills, tools, and market access. Together, we transformed the art of Eri silk into a source of sustainable livelihoods.

Today, I was deeply moved when a young IAS officer from Chungtia presented me with a shawl woven by these inspiring women. Draping it was a humbling moment—a testament to their resilience and the enduring power of Seva.

My heartfelt gratitude to the incredible women of Chungtia. May your looms continue to weave stories of hope and empowerment for generations to come!

By 2034, your corporate law firm job will be extinct.

That's Marc Andreessen's latest prediction — the billionaire investor who predicted the rise of the internet in 1993.

He predicts that your 9-5 job will vanish.

Here's what he said next:

The Pandemic Fund launches in India 👏 It will help:

🐔Strengthen animal health security

👩‍🌾Support women’s economic empowerment
🦠 Reduce potential threat of zoonotic diseases in 12 states across India, and more!

Wales made official partner for Nagaland’s biggest cultural festival 👏

As part of the #WalesInIndia initiative, the Welsh Government and @BritishCouncil will deepen existing cultural relationships between artists from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇳, including those from Nagaland and the northeast.

Every year, we invite an amazing young woman to step into the shoes of our High Commissioner for a day. Listening to voices of young women and girls is not just the right thing but also the smart thing to do. Isn't that right, Nidhi? 😉

Love is just too beautiful to hate 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

It’s been 6 years since the landmark #Section377 judgement was passed. We marked this historic milestone with a night full of harmony and heartfelt moments.

Watch the video to relive the celebration.

[UK in India🇬🇧🇮🇳 @UKinIndia]

All you need is love 🏳️‍🌈

Marking the 6th anniversary of the landmark Section 377 judgement. A historic moment that redefined love the way it should be - equal and free of discrimination.

LGBT+ rights are human rights, and the UK is committed to championing these rights globally.

Alex Ellis, नाम तो सुना होगा? 😉

The High Commissioner’s digital diplomacy game has kept us entertained (and quite busy) over the past three years. As he wraps up his tenure in India, watch him relive some of his favourites?

[Yangerla Jamir @jamiryangerla]

So, so proud of you @Amrah_Ashraf ❤️

#MeetTheTeam!

It's thanks to our #CrisisResponse colleagues like @Amrah_Ashraf that we can scale up our support when crisis hits.

Amrah, who normally works for our @UNDP_India 🇮🇳office, is on the ground in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 helping to bolster @UNDPaf's #HeratEarthquake response.

[UK in India🇬🇧🇮🇳 @UKinIndia]

Cricket fever seems to be going around the office.

Should we be worried?

Or is this an elaborate ruse by High Commissioner @AlexWEllis to take time off work for the #INDvENG Test series 🏏

[UK in India🇬🇧🇮🇳 @UKinIndia]

When High Commissioner @AlexWEllis is a fan of everything Bollywood, the team must keep up as well.

What do you think, did we make the cut?

हिंदी दिवस की शुभकामनाएं 🙏🏾 from team UKinIndia!

#WorldHindiDay

[Alex Ellis @AlexWEllis]

‘Tis the season to be jolly, and hitting those high (and low) notes!

I hope those watching enjoyed it as much as @UKinIndia and festive friends from @USAndIndia @CyprusinIndia @IrlEmbIndia @Lufthansa_India and the German School, New Delhi.

[Imkongla Jamir @imkongla]

Naturally Nagaland in the heart of Delhi! Congratulations to all who made this possible !
