New Delhi [India], January 17: India has finally hit the green button. A long-awaited plan to acquire 114 Rafale fighter jets from France has cleared a crucial hurdle, giving the Indian Air Force a much-needed shot in the arm.

The decision was taken on Friday, according to senior officials familiar with the discussions.

New Delhi [India], January 17: The Ministry of Women and Child Development launched a digital portal, PANKHUDI, on January 8, 2026, an integrated system to enhance partnerships for women and child development in India. Union Minister Smt. Annpurna Devi, Minister of State, Smt. Savitri Thakur and Secretary Shri Anil Malik officially launched the portal. The message was clear. Welfare cannot be supported only by paperwork and goodwill. It needs systems. Digital ones. The construction of PANKHUDI is based on a single-window platform. One login. One dashboard. It creates a common space where individuals, non-governmental organisations, corporate CSR contributors, research institutions,…
New Delhi [India], January 17: In a traditional Indian homes bathing was more than cleansing because they were based on nature and nurturing. Boiled neem water to cleanse the skin, freshly made ubtan to exfoliate and brighten, cooling herbs to cool in the heat, floral waters to calm and refresh, it was all purposeful and all related to seasons and skin requirements. These were not luxuries; they were family traditions. However, modern metro lives, with their rush, lack of space, time constraints, and more, have rendered traditional rituals hard to sustain. Spraying powders and drains, splattering pastes on tiles, and…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 16: There’s a moment at every major tech reveal when the room goes quiet — not because something is subtle, but because it’s bold enough to feel slightly illegal. Lenovo’s rollable OLED gaming laptop concept belongs squarely in that category. Not another thinner bezel. Not another RGB keyboard pretending to be innovative. This time, the screen literally grows. In an industry obsessed with shaving millimetres and repackaging déjà vu as progress, Lenovo chose spectacle — but with intent. A gaming laptop that expands its display on demand, stretching upward from a compact base into something that…
New Delhi [India], January 16: In the last few years, awareness about hair-related issues has increased significantly among people, especially celebrities, sports persons, and famous personalities.

Many celebrities and Bollywood stars today want to get…
New Delhi [India], January 16: Fake seeds have cheated Indian farmers for years. Seed Act 2026 is the government’s blunt answer, and it does not mince words. India’s seed market has long had a credibility problem. Good companies played fair. Too many others didn’t. Farmers paid the price with failed crops, lost seasons and zero accountability. Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is now drawing a hard line. Seed Act 2026, he says, is designed to end the chaos for good. This is not a cosmetic update. It is a structural overhaul of a law written in 1966, an era…

Santa Clara (California) [USA], January 16: In a time when franchise blockbusters and visual spectacle dominate the silver screen, there is a particular gravity to the name Martin Scorsese and his undeniable Legacy. His films are not mere tales; they are explorations of our stranded human nature, they are footprints of failed trails of one’s psyche towards the abandoned streets of morality and how society feigns to be strong yet comes out fragile at the back door. Occasionally, debate arises as to whether Scorsese is a true cinematic genius or a man who has been raised to cultural godhead status…
