Kokankada, one of the most iconic viewpoints in the Sahyadris. The pre-monsoon clouds are beginning to roll into the valleys, and they make for some breathtaking scenes that can only be seen for a short time before the monsoon arrives in full force.
Nestled within the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park, Dudhsagar Waterfalls is one of Goa’s most breathtaking sights.
This four-tiered cascade plunges from a height of 1,017 ft, its roaring white waters resembling streams of milk, earning it the name “Dudhsagar” meaning the Sea of Milk.

Long before climate change became a headline, Kollakkayil Devaki Amma was quietly planting saplings in her backyard in Alappuzha.
After a leg injury forced her to stop paddy farming, she planted a single tree. Then another. And another. What began as healing slowly became a mission.
Today, she has transformed barren coastal sandy land into a living sanctuary with 3,000+ rare, indigenous, and medicinal plants, ponds, wetlands, birds, animals, and a dense green cover that breathes life into Kerala’s coast.
Four generations of her family have nurtured this forest. Her grandchildren plant trees during vacations. One even chose botany, inspired by her quiet devotion.
She uses only organic manure, harvests rainwater, and makes space for birds and animals instead of fencing them out.
“Planting a tree is the most effective way to cancel our carbon footprint,” she says, having done exactly that for over 40 years.
India honoured her with the Padma Shri in the Unsung Heroes category for afforestation, conservation, and showing us what true environmental responsibility looks like.

Happy to receive the US Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio.
We discussed sustained progress in the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership and issues related to regional and global peace and security.
India and the United States will continue to work closely for the global good.

🚨 "An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed..." - President Donald J. Trump
From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card for permanent residency must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances.
This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.
When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency.

Strongly condemn the attacks on the UAE that resulted in injuries to three Indian nationals. Targeting civilians and infrastructure is unacceptable.
India stands in firm solidarity with the UAE and reiterates its support for the peaceful resolution of all issues through dialogue and diplomacy.
Ensuring safe and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is vital for enduring regional peace, stability and global energy security.
Relieved to learn that President Trump, the First Lady and Vice President are safe and unharmed following the recent security incident at a Washington DC hotel. I extend my best wishes for their continued safety and well-being. Violence has no place in a democracy and must be unequivocally condemned.

The State Department is restricting U.S. visas for individuals from countries in our hemisphere who support our adversaries in undermining America’s interests in our region. Under the newly expanded policy, we have already taken action against 26 individuals in several countries. The Trump Administration continues to work for the American people and to promote our region’s safety and prosperity.
Just had an outstanding dinner with President Trump. We discussed his unwavering determination to bring global stability, the historic achievements of his presidency, the strong future of India-US ties, and so much more! A very memorable evening as history unfolded in real time. 🇺🇸
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
Received a call from President Trump and had a useful exchange of views on the situation in West Asia. India supports de-escalation and restoration of peace at the earliest. Ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure and accessible is essential for the whole world. We agreed to stay in touch regarding efforts towards peace and stability.

President Donald Trump just spoke with Prime Minister Modi. They discussed the ongoing situation in the Middle East, including the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
