SC Amicus: Expert warnings on #Aravallis ‘suppressed’
A govt committee report is under fire for allegedly hiding expert views from the Forest Survey of India (FSI).
The panel proposed a 100m height rule to define what counts as a "hill," but the FSI warned this would effectively "delete" 90% of the Aravalli range from protection maps.
The Amicus Curiae told the SC that the “unsigned and undated” report was never approved by the Central Empowered Committee.
While the rule appeared tailored for mining, it ignored the range’s vital role in recharging 2 million liters of groundwater per hectare and combating desertification.
The SC has now paused the order to ensure the entire ecosystem is mapped by independent experts.

Why a 100m height rule could have left 90% of the Aravalli hills unprotected and open for mining.?

भारत की पहली महिला शिक्षिका और समाज सुधारक सावित्रीबाई फुले ने महिलाओं की शिक्षा और समानता के लिए ऐतिहासिक कार्य किया।
उन्होंने 1848 में लड़कियों के लिए भारत का पहला स्कूल शुरू कर समाज में नई चेतना जगाई।
उनकी पुण्यतिथि पर विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि।

Conflicts arise. Clinics close. Life continues.
In every crisis, sexual and reproductive health services are among the first to be disrupted, and women pay the price with their bodies, their futures, and their lives.
Contraception, safe childbirth, safe abortion, and survivor-centred care are fundamental to survival and dignity.
No war should have the power to strip these rights away.

Why is India revising the GDP Base Year now?
Rollout of GST, which needed consolidation time; the unprecedented disruption due to COVID-19 pandemic; and the sharp post-pandemic base effect—several structural shifts made earlier years unsuitable.

The vibrant Dhap Dance of Odisha reflects the rhythm and spirit of tribal life in the Mayurbhanj region. Performed during festivals and community celebrations, the powerful beats of the dhap drum guide synchronized movements that bring communities together.
A living tradition that continues to preserve the cultural heritage and collective identity of tribal communities.
