  One delightful evening, when Raffi met Shravan, he noticed that Shravan seemed a bit perplexed and engrossed in something. When Raffi inquired, Shravan shared that he was having difficulty grasping the intricacies of the Maldives issue. He requested Raffi's assistance in gaining a better understanding of the matter. Raffi responded, suggesting that comprehending this issue requires obtaining a comprehensive overview, and assured Shravan that he would assist him in making sense of it.  It all commenced with a tweet on January 4th, 2024, by our esteemed Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, detailing his visit to the beaches of Lakshadweep. Notably, the tweet made no reference to the Maldives; however, a few Maldivian ministers responded with disparaging remarks, insulting our Prime Minister, and questioning India's sovereignty. This triggered the emergence of the hashtag #boycottmaldives on social media, resulting in the mass cancellation of flight and hotel bookings ...

  I n the emerald tapestry of rural India, where over 33% of the land's women till the soil, Rohini's tale unfolds. It's a narrative woven from sun-kissed soil, sweat, and the quiet tenacity of women who have nurtured life for generations. Leaving behind the concrete jungle, Rohini, like many others, found solace in the rhythmic pulse of agriculture, drawn by a calling far deeper than mere circumstance. The feminization of Indian agriculture, driven by factors like rural male out-migration and changing landholding patterns, has placed women at the forefront of cultivation. Yet, their contributions often remain invisible, obscured by societal biases and a lack of access to resources. Rohini, however, refused to be relegated to the shadows. Dawn found her bathed in the soft glow of the rising sun, a silent warrior wielding her axe with practised grace. The day unfolded in a symphony of activity – sowing seeds with the reverence of a priestess, coaxing life from the dusty ea...

Samhitha, a dairy technology student, attended a 'National Mastitis Council' as part of her college educational trip. Delegates from around the world, along with local dairy farmers, gathered to discuss mastitis. However, Samhitha was intrigued not by the mastitis discussions but by the farmers' constantly beeping phones, displaying messages from their cows. Perplexed, she peeked at a farmer's phone that showed a message from "cow 2." Surprised, she inquired, and the farmer explained it was a text from his cow. Initially sceptical, Samhitha learned that it was part of precision farming, termed "Texting cows." This technology, employed by dairy cooperatives, utilizes smart collars for cows, providing real-time health data to farmers through wireless communication. Curious to understand the mechanics, Samhitha questioned the farmer further. Milking robots streamline the process for large-scale farmers, while individual farmers use intelligent colla...
