markets UPS BLOCK Mobile Universities Updates Mint Quick Edit | Can fully foreign-owned insurers help India achieve universal coverage by 2047?

Can India’s insurance sector help mobilize more long-term capital? How much of a difference will the Centre’s proposal of raising its foreign direct investment (FDI) cap to 100% from 74% make? The sector was opened up to foreign insurers via joint ventures (JVs) in 2000, but state-run LIC’s dominance remains mostly intact. After the FDI cap was lifted to 74% in 2021, a few foreign insurers raised their stakes in JVs and we saw one new entry.Full ownership would mean no local partner can block key plans, so those stakes might rise further.

Southern Research Universities War Cycling Doge Diversity “Menstrual cycles in transgender men”? Donald Trump’s USDA head kills $600K grant with one misleading post

Southern University in Louisiana was awarded $600,000 for its "Project Farm to Feminine Hygiene", a bold effort to develop natural alternatives to synthetic sanitary products. Using regenerative cotton, wool, and industrial hemp, the project also planned to launch educational programmes and support local fibre farmers by building a processing facility. But that vision has been cut short. On 7 March, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced on X that she was revoking the funding, claiming the grant was meant to study “menstrual cycles in transgender men.” It wasn’t. The actual documentation mentions transgender people only once—acknowledging that they, too, may menstruate. The single-line reference was enough to trigger a misinformation storm.
