A major cheat code in life: Master the art of strategic incompetence. Some tasks you don't want to be good at. Be bad at them and watch them get reassigned. Not everything needs your excellence. Some things need your exit.
An IAS officer in Chhattisgarh FIXED a maternal health CRISIS that the government couldn't solve with a recipe older than modern medicine.
She did it with a ladoo!
Yes, you read that right 🤯
Okay so here’s what happened:
Koriya district had one of the worst maternal health records in the state:
→ High-risk pregnancies → Underweight babies → Mothers going into labour severely anaemic.
Simply because pregnant women weren't getting enough nutritious food.
So District Collector Chandan Tripathi did something no consultant would pitch.
She turned a grandmother’s ragi modak into a structured maternal health system.
Here’s what they did differently:
→ Created iron-rich ragi modak ladoos (dietician approved)
→ Gave 2 ladoos daily to every pregnant woman
→ Added iron supplementation from the 5th month
→ Paired each woman with a “Poshan Sangwari” to ensure she actually consumed them
They called it the Koriya Modak Ladoo programme.
The most brilliant part about this is that they didn't hire outsiders to make the ladoos.
The same women it was meant to help now make the ladoos, earning ₹10,000–12,000 per month.
And look at the results now:
✅ 57% reduction in low birth weight cases.
✅ 362/398 underweight mothers gained healthy weight
✅ 3,00,000+ ladoos distributed so far.
And all of this was possible not because of a ₹100 crore government tender but because of trust in community knowledge and the will to execute it properly.
Sometimes the most powerful solutions aren’t expensive.
The ontime performance percentage whatever it means has no meaning for travelers , the woes of traveling by most expensive means of transport are never ending , why are we even having a national carrier???!
@airindia@MoCA_India We have best class airports but the ability to fly passengers on time is completely lacking. In last one year every journey undertaken had atleast one leg of the journey delayed because of Airlines whether one is flying domestic or international +
America get your house in order now 🇺🇸!
The situation looks alarming- you can’t have a US President talking casually about annexing territory, issuing ultimatums or threatening sovereign nations. This reckless rhetoric from a superpower affects global stability, markets alliances and peace. This theatre has reached an intolerable limit.
You don’t get to say I didn’t vote for him when nuclear powers are recalibrating their red lines. Your system was designed to be stronger than one man. Use it fast.
Because we all just want to live in peace, raise our families, and not wake up to a world unravelled by reckless rhetoric.
Enough is enough!
Eating figs and almonds are meant to sharpen the brain. They grow across West Asia where the people are not necessarily the smartest.
Looking at the progress of you-know-who-all, I’m convinced the real superfoods are Dhokla, Gathia, Fafda and Jalebi.
America and Russia show how the world really works. India must build overwhelming military strength to protect its borders, its people, and its destiny. This must be done not to threaten the world, but to ensure that no one dares to threaten us. 🇮🇳⚔️
