India urgently needs a dedicated radio channel for senior citizens.
Millions of elderly people face challenges related to health, loneliness, legal rights, pensions, mental wellbeing, and access to reliable information.
Requesting GoI & Prasar Bharati to consider this.
There is a clear distinction between the summit of Deomali—which should remain free from private ownership or control—and its foothill regions. If we adopt a progressive and balanced perspective, carefully planned development in the foothills can be considered.
When the monsoon drapes Koraput in its misty veil, the land transforms into a dreamscape — ethereal, untouched, and otherworldly. Wander through its emerald hills and silken waterfalls, and let your soul dissolve into its surreal beauty.

I was looking for the PDF of the updated NCERT Class 8 Social Science book after the recent announcement about corrections. But while searching, I stumbled upon the Class 6 Social Science book & to my absolute surprise, it’s a treasure trove of changes. It's pure gold. The tone, the approach, the cultural grounding everything feels more rooted & relevant. If this is the direction NCERT is now taking, it's genuinely refreshing... 😀
Sharing a few pages from the book here that truly stood out to me:
1. Chapter 3 opens with a reference from the Atharva Veda, clearly stating that the ancient texts of our land spoke about the Earth & climate protection 1000's of years ago. It’s a strong reminder that caring for the environment is not a new or Western concept it’s deeply rooted in our own civilization.
In a video recorded today, local children in Koraput’s Talamali Hills can be seen playing with thermocole boards scavenged from the debris left by a film crew. the film crew’s should have ensured proper disposal before leaving the shooting site.
A short para on Kotia from the memoirs of former RBI Governor, Sri D Subbarao who served as Sub Collector, Parvathipuram back in the early 70s. Happy to note that he acknowledges them being a part of Jeypore; Odisha not accepting Madras' claim and them not being added to AP! 😃
Polavaram is a big budget multipurpose dam on Godavari river in A.P and it has little significance to Odisha except inundating huge tracts of land and displacing people. The freehand sketch and video will help as a primary information about the project.

Considering the number of deaths caused by snake bite, Govt should consider giving away beds to poor families who sleep on floor becoming vulnerable to snake bites. Snake bite deaths are constantly in news now a days. @CMO_Odisha@SRC_Odisha
Balda, the table top mountain of Koraput Highlands with a caves and lake is ideal for Dark Sky Tourism. It can be Hanle of Odisha as a potential site for setting up an optical observatory.

There is nothing that an Odia Girl can not do !!! No better testimoney than story of Nibedita Acharya the 19 Year Old Girl who crossed the seas on a sail boat to reach Bali, Indinesia on INS Samudra braving many odds. Listen to her story at https://t.co/mMpYeof3nR
@eodishaorg Thanks to all groups who joined hands and observed this day in memory of an unsung hero of Indian subcontinent. It is more heartening to note that the day is now observed at multiple places of Odisha.
