Buried for decades beneath layers of debris, plastic waste, and urban neglect, a 250-year-old stepwell in the heart of Indore has emerged into the light — restored, reimagined, and reopened to the public. The historic structure in Krishnapura, a remnant of the Maratha era, has been revived as part of the Jal Ganga Abhiyaan, a government-led initiative focused on restoring India’s ancient water bodies. Once lost to time, the Krishnapura stepwell now gleams under newly installed lights, surrounded by landscaped walkways and interpretive signage. Its once-sullied waters have been cleared, and its intricately carved stone architecture has been painstakingly conserved…

At age 24, Neha Byadwal defied the odds to join the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), clearing the country’s notoriously difficult UPSC Civil Services Examination on her fourth attempt. Born in Jaipur and raised in a Rajasthani-speaking household, Byadwal’s path to civil service was anything but linear — marked by early academic failure, language struggles, and a radical commitment to self-discipline. Once penalized for speaking Hindi in school and fearful of English, Byadwal failed Class 5. But what might have ended many aspirations only fueled hers. In 2023, after three unsuccessful attempts, she secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 569…

The Mysuru Premature Acute Coronary Syndrome (MPACS) Registry is one of the country’s first regionally focused efforts aimed at gathering detailed clinical data on heart attack patients under the age of 45. Over the next two years, cardiologists across Mysuru’s eight major hospitals—each equipped with catheterization labs—will enroll thousands of patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The goal is to determine whether shifting…

A sweeping new study has sounded a dire warning: more than 15 million individuals born between 2008 and 2017 could develop gastric cancer in their lifetimes if current trends continue. The forecast, published in Nature Medicine, places India at the center of this looming crisis — second only to China — with over 3 million projected cases. This finding comes as part of a global estimate that underscores the burden posed by Helicobacter pylori, a common but often overlooked bacterial infection known to cause stomach cancer. Without urgent public health intervention, the next generation may face a preventable epidemic. A…

भारत एक ऐसी महामारी से जूझ रहा है जो न तो संक्रामक है, न ही हवा से फैलती है, और न ही तुरंत जानलेवा। लेकिन इसके दीर्घकालिक प्रभाव भयावह हो सकते हैं। मस्कुलोस्केलेटल डिसऑर्डर्स (MSDs) यानी हड्डियों, जोड़ों और मांसपेशियों से जुड़ी बीमारियां, जो कभी बुज़ुर्गों तक सीमित मानी जाती थीं, अब देश के युवा और कामकाजी वर्ग को तेजी से अपनी चपेट में ले रही हैं। एक देश, जो दर्द में जी रहा है देश भर में लाखों लोग लगातार पीठ दर्द, जोड़ों में अकड़न और मांसपेशियों में थकावट का सामना कर रहे हैं। ये शिकायतें अब व्यक्तिगत नहीं…
