In a major leap towards making affordable healthcare accessible to every Indian, the Modi Government’s flagship scheme, Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), has successfully established 16,912 Jan Aushadhi Kendras (JAKs) across the country as of June 30, 2025. The ambitious target? A whopping 25,000 Kendras by March 2027. These Jan Aushadhi Kendras provide high-quality generic medicines at affordable prices, ensuring substantial savings for citizens and a significant reduction in out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure. A Basket of Affordable Care Under the scheme, 2,110 medicines and 315 surgicals, medical consumables, and devices are available—covering critical therapeutic areas including cardiovascular, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, gastrointestinal,…
In a groundbreaking leap toward green architecture, Indian scientists at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, have developed a new generation of cost-effective electrochromic smart windows—windows that don’t just let light in, but also block heat, save energy, and store electricity. These smart windows change color at the flick of a switch and can significantly reduce air-conditioning bills by blocking heat and regulating indoor temperatures. Unlike traditional smart windows that use expensive materials like tungsten oxide (WO₃) and lithium-based electrolytes, the new design uses titanium oxide (TiO₂) and aluminum-ion-based electrolytes—drastically cutting production costs. What makes this…
For nearly two decades, this couple clung to hope. After 19 painful years of infertility and 15 failed IVF attempts, they were on the verge of giving up. But in March 2025, science gifted them what they had dreamed of for so long—a pregnancy. And the hero? Artificial Intelligence. The Technology That Changed Everything At the heart of this breakthrough is the Sperm Track and Recovery (STAR) system—an AI-powered technology developed by Columbia University Fertility Center. Unlike traditional IVF methods that struggle with azoospermia (a condition where no sperm is detected in semen), STAR uses machine learning to detect extremely…
In a historic discovery that reshapes the known boundaries of the Indus Valley Civilization, archaeologists have uncovered a 4,500-year-old Harappan site hidden beneath the golden sands of the Thar Desert. The site, named Ratadiya Ri Dheri, lies in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district, about 60 km from Ramgarh and just 17 km from Pakistan’s Sadewala — a known Harappan site. Scattered shards of red pottery, fragments of chert blades, terracotta cakes, shell bangles, and wedge-shaped bricks point to a bustling settlement that once thrived in what is now one of India’s most arid zones. The presence of a centrally structured kiln, unique…
In a landmark move aimed at boosting women’s workforce participation and transforming Delhi into a 24×7 business hub, the Delhi government has cleared the way for women to legally work night shifts across commercial establishments for the first time in over 70 years. The proposed amendments to the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954, will lift longstanding restrictions that barred women from working past 9 PM in summer and 8 PM in winter. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta hailed the move as a decisive step toward women’s empowerment and economic independence. “This is not just a labour reform—this is a bold…
