Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday said that indigenisation has no point when it is confined to nuts and bolts.

India Budget: India’s space ambitions are soaring, with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) positioning itself as a critical player on the global stage. However, as the nation charts its path to becoming a global space superpower, the question remains: Does India need a higher space budget to achieve its ambitious dreams? The answer may be found soon as India gets ready to present its Union Budget for the next fiacal year. Despite fluctuations in funding, the space sector has contributed significantly to India's economy. Over the past decade, the space sector has generated $60 billion for India’s GDP, creating 4.7 million jobs, including 96,000 in the public and private sectors, according to Socio-Economic Impact Analysis of Indian Space Programme. The sector's contributions are particularly evident in areas such as satellite-based weather forecasting, which benefits millions of farmers and fishermen across the country. ISRO’s satellites also provide high-resolution imagery that plays a crucial role in national security. Click here to find out more about what may happen in Union Budget 2025

National Food Security Act (NFSA) of 2013 has been instrumental in reducing child stunting in India, preventing stunting in approximately 1.8 million children across eight states, reported TOI, citing a study published in the American Economic Association's Journal on Applied Economics. The evaluation highlights the impact of expanded food grain distribution under the Act on child nutrition, stunting, and dietary diversity. The study, conducted by Aditya Shrinivas of IIM Bangalore alongside researchers from the universities of California and Calgary, found that the Public Distribution System (PDS) under the NFSA improved not just nutrition but also household welfare. By increasing daily wages and overall income, the PDS provided crucial support to poor households, who are primarily net labor suppliers. Additionally, it helped vulnerable families withstand climate shocks such as poor rainfall or drought. The NFSA standardized entitlements to 5 kg of staple grains per person per month at subsidized rates—Rs 3 per kg for rice and Rs 2 per kg for wheat. Before the Act, states had discretion over prices and quantities offered under the PDS. This shift from per-household to per-individual entitlements particularly benefited larger families, prompting less generous states to expand their food distribution programs.

antiparasitic drugs, traditionally prescribed for infections caused by roundworms and other parasites, hold the key to combating cancer? Hollywood actor Mel Gibson appears to believe so. In a candid conversation on comedian Joe Rogan's podcast, the Braveheart star revealed that two of his close friends, who had been battling stage 4 cancer, experienced remarkable recoveries after using ivermectin and fenbendazole—drugs commonly employed to treat parasitic infections like roundworms and threadworms. Gibson went on to make a bold statement, claiming that all three friends who tried these medications «don’t have cancer right now.» He emphatically added, «This stuff works, man.» While these claims have sparked interest, experts urge caution, as scientific evidence supporting the use of these drugs for cancer treatment remains in its infancy. Some preliminary studies hint at potential benefits. For instance, ivermectin, when combined with other therapies, has been found to shrink tumors in early research, though such findings are yet to be validated by larger clinical trials. Similarly, fenbendazole—marketed under brand names such as Panacur and Safe-Guard—has shown promise in laboratory studies by halting the growth of certain aggressive cancer cells.
