. NEW DELHI: After introducing biometric verification through Facial Recognition System (FRS) for beneficiaries registered with anganwadis who receive ‘take home rations’ (THR), the Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) is working on a module to “universalise” FRS by extending it to ‘hot cooked meals’ served to children who visit these centres.Under FRS, photo capturing of beneficiaries and e-KYC based on Aadhaar system during registration is done. For children, a parent or any guardian undergoes the process and not the child since Bal-Aadhaar (age 0-5 years) does not have biometrics. A fresh photo at THR distribution stage is matched with the already stored verified image of the beneficiary.According to a statement from the ministry, as of Dec 31, 2025, out of 4.73 crore beneficiaries eligible for THR, a total of 4.51 crore (91.38%) have completed their eKYC and face matching. In Dec, 2.79 crore (52.68%) eligible beneficiaries received THR using FRS.FRS-based verification to ensure last-mile tracking of THR delivery in anganwadis was made mandatory for existing beneficiaries from July 1 last year. The ministry, in a communication to states, had also said that FRS would be introduced at the stage of registration of all new beneficiaries under the supplementary nutrition programme from Aug 1 last year.WCD minister Annapurna Devi on Thursday said that overall Aadhaar verification of around 99% beneficiaries registered on the Poshan Tracker has been done. Mandatory biometric verification through facial authentication was also introduced from May last year for all new enrolments under Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana.“To ensure that actual genuine beneficiaries get the benefits, we are planning to universalise Facial Recognition System-based verification and will extend it to hot cooked meals at anganwadis. We have collected data and are working on implementing FRS in the entire supplementary nutrition programme (THR and HCM),” WCD secretary Anil Malik said.Under the Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP) that aims to fill the gap in nutrition amongst children under six years of age as well as pregnant, lactating women and adolescent girls, the supplementary diet is delivered through two modalities – ‘Hot-Cooked Meal’ and ‘Take-Home Ration’ (THR), delivered in the form of raw ingredients or pre-cooked packets.The FRS-based verification being made mandatory has been criticised by anganwadi unions and civil society organisations who have raised fears of many genuine beneficiaries getting excluded.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBJP Targets Mamata Banerjee Over ED Raid At I-PAC, Alleges Evidence TamperingFrom Op Sindoor To Venezuela: How Chinese Air Defence And Radar Systems Continue To Fail NationsDipu Das Lynching: Bangladesh Police Arrest Man Who Incited Mob As Attacks Against Hindus ContinueFrance Ditches Global South, Collective West As Jaishankar Warns Europe Of Changing World Order’Naughty, Nasty HM’: Mamata Slams Amit Shah After ED Raids TMC Leader Amid SIR RowPM Modi Launches ‘Somnath Swabhiman Parv’, Recalls Centuries-Old Resolve Behind Temple’s Revival“US Using Tariffs To Pressure India” Sareen Slams Trump Over Russia Sanction BillDonald Trump Pulls US Out Of India-Led Solar Alliance In Sweeping Exit From 66 Global AgenciesNew CCTV Footage Raises Questions Over Planning Behind Turkman Gate Clashes During Midnight DriveMinor Shooter Accuses National Coach Of Sexual Assault, NRAI Suspends Him Pending Police Inquiry123PhotostoriesBirthday Special: Farhan Akhtar’s movies to watch on OTTFarhan Akhtar’s social media moments with wife and kids10 smart and comforting sooji dishes to enjoy for breakfastExclusive: Viraj Bahl on the public admiration he’s been getting due to Shark Tank India; says ‘I still feel embarrassed when people ask me for selfies’‘Toxic’: Kiara Advani, Nayanthara to Rukmini Vasanth: Meet the leading ladies of Yash’s highly anticipated comeback filmHow to make comforting Gajar Matar Ki Sabzi at home10 most democratic countries in the world12 banana desserts enjoyed around the world’The Office’ to ‘Modern Family’: Best sitcoms to watch on PeacockCute Indian pet names for babies born in January 2026123Hot PicksMinneapolis Woman ShootMaharashtra civic pollsGold rate todayUAE citizenshipCigarette price hikePublic holidays January 2026Bank Holidays JanuaryTop TrendingCandace OwensTommy Fleetwood and Clare Fleetwood Net WorthTravis KelceBrandon TatumQuinn HutsonRic Flair Net Worth in 2025Rashee RiceMarshon Lattimore ArrestAnthony EdwardsStefon Diggs

. NEW DELHI: India’s lung cancer burden is projected to rise sharply by 2030, with the North-East emerging as the worst-affected region and women recording the fastest increase in cases, a national study published in Indian Journal of Medical Research has found. Data from 57 populations across six regions show lung cancer incidence to be highest in the North-East, where rates for women are now close to those for men – an unusual pattern in India. Aizawl recorded the highest burden, with age-standardised incidence at 35.9 per lakh among men and 33.7 per lakh among women, along with the highest mortality. Although extremely high tobacco use – over 68% among men and 54% among women – continues to drive the region’s burden, doctors say the disease profile is shifting. “We are seeing more lung cancer cases among non-smoking women, linked to indoor air pollution, biomass fuel use, second-hand smoke and occupational exposure,” said Dr Saurabh Mittal of AIIMS’s pulmonology department. The shift is also reflected in tumour patterns nationwide. Adenocarcinoma has replaced smoking-linked squamous-cell carcinoma as the dominant subtype. In Bengaluru, it now accounts for over half of lung cancer cases among women, while Delhi has seen a sharp rise in large-cell carcinoma. Southern districts such as Kannur, Kasargod and Kollam reported high incidence among men despite relatively low tobacco and alcohol use, pointing to non-tobacco risk factors. Among women, Hyderabad and Bengaluru recorded the highest incidence in the south. In the north, Srinagar showed elevated lung cancer rates among men, while women in Srinagar and Pulwama also reported higher incidence despite low substance use. Trend analysis shows lung cancer incidence climbing by up to 6.7% annually among women and 4.3% among men in some regions. Thiruvananthapuram recorded the sharpest rise among women, while Dindigul saw the steepest increase among men. With tobacco use among women still below 10% nationwide, researchers point to worsening air quality and household exposures as key drivers. Projections suggest that by 2030, lung cancer incidence among men could exceed 33 per lakh in parts of Kerala, while among women it could rise to over 8 per lakh in cities like Bengaluru. Low mortality-to-incidence ratios in several regions also point to gaps in death reporting, potentially masking the true toll.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

Pratik Jain KOLKATA: TMC and I-PAC moved Calcutta high court Thursday challenging the legality of ED searches at the political consultancy’s chief Pratik Jain’s residence and the group’s office, setting up a face-off with the agency that also approached the same bench alleging obstruction. According to details available on HC’s website, TMC’s petition names Union govt, ED and I-PAC as respondents. Sources said TMC has raised concerns over alleged access to party’s confidential material linked to special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, including information on booth-level agents, and documents connected to preparations for the 2026 Bengal polls. ED searched Jain’s home on Loudon Street near central Kolkata’s Park Street and I-PAC’s office in Sector V, the city’s IT hub in Salt Lake on the eastern fringe. The searches were linked to an alleged coal scam. Tension flared outside Jain’s home when central forces accompanying ED allegedly asked personnel from Shakespeare Sarani police station – which covers the Park Street area – to remain outside the main gate. A verbal confrontation followed. Shakespeare Sarani police is preparing to register a suo motu case against ED and CRPF, alleging obstruction of police work. Jain’s family is also considering a separate complaint, alleging family members were forcibly detained and that ED entered private areas without notice. Another suo motu case is being considered by Electronic Complex police station, which has jurisdiction over Sector V, alleging ED did not inform local police before the operation at I-PAC’s office. ED has criticised Kolkata police for what it described as “overactivity”. The court battle unfolds against the backdrop of TMC’s long-running and electorally successful association with I-PAC that began in 2019. Over the next six-and-a-half years, TMC recorded a 100% strike rate with I-PAC on board, sweeping the 2021 assembly elections, winning the 2023 panchayat polls and retaining dominance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Bengal.
