for exhibits on his life and works. Including an audio rendition of the famous tryst with destiny speech. The stories of all other Prime Ministers are located in a new building, beautifully designed to show the Ashoka Chakra. A must - see for all #PMSangrahalaya

(2) The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya is a visual delight and a group of us women journalists enjoyed a 2.5 hour tour through its many galleries. The first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru is given pride of place as the entire original Teen Murti Bhawan is kept exclusively (contd)

The empire that partitioned Bharat in 1947 may now be staring at its own division. Less than 80 years later, is the United Kingdom heading for a 4-way split? The irony writes itself. Watch to now why this may not be just a PR stunt but a possibility driven by deep economic realities.

Other than the NDMC area, the rest of Delhi has fully gone to hell. Potholed roads. Traffic that is out of control. Wrong side driving is the norm. Nobody takes traffic lights seriously. Traffic police invisible. Garbage mountains in so many places. Cows in the middle of roads. A beautiful city gone to hell.

PM Narendra Modi in Auckland, New Zealand “My colleague in the government Hardeep Singh Puri ji's ancestors were devoted servants of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Hardeep Puri ji told me that his family has cherished and preserved the 'Jode Sahib' of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji for 300 years. During the Partition, Puri Sahib's family, his ancestors, brought them safely to Delhi. His family wanted to hand over these sacred 'Jode Sahib' to the Sikh 'Sangat' so that as many people as possible could pay their respects and view them. We formed a committee comprising those well-versed in Sikh traditions. We sought the advice of experts and decided to take these sacred 'Jode Sahib' to the place where Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji first set foot on this hallowed land, the place of his birth, our Sri Patna Sahib. I am delighted that these sacred 'Jode Sahib' are now on the holy soil of Patna Sahib, and it was my privilege to witness that sacred occasion and be present there. I would also urge you that whenever you visit India, you must go to Patna Sahib to pay your respects to them..."

As geopolitical conflicts disrupt traditional supply routes, India is strategically pivoting its oil economy. The recent visit by Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodrigues signals a long-term energy partnership. High freight costs are being offset by heavy discounts, positioning Venezuela as India’s third-largest crude supplier and a vital source for diversifying its energy security.

India’s MSME sector remains tangled in regulatory red tape despite repeated promises of reform. A high-level committee led by former Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba recommended easing compliance burdens, rationalising Quality Control Orders, and improving ease of doing business — but most measures remain only partially implemented even months later. @thewritesush #MSME #IndiaEconomy #EconomicReforms #EaseOfDoingBusiness #ViksitBharat #NarendraModi #BusinessReforms #IndianEconomy #FDI #Manufacturing #GST #CorporateIndia #EconomicGrowth #IndiaNews #PolicyReforms #TradeAndIndustry #TheSecretariat thesecretariat.in/article/cu…
