Union health minister JP Nadda will release the operational guidelines for the revamped Anaemia Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan Monday during the 16th meeting of Central Council of Health and Family Welfare. The revised programme replaces the existing Anaemia Mukt Bharat framework with a broader, technology-enabled approach aimed at improving prevention, early detection, treatment and follow-up. Anaemia remains one of India’s major public health challenges, and is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes, low birth weight and impaired child development. A key feature of the new guidelines is the expansion of the existing 6x6x6 strategy into a 7x7x7 framework. Low birth weight babies have been added as the seventh beneficiary group, recognising the need to address anaemia from the earliest stage of life.A new “Eating Right” initiative has also been introduced to encourage the regular consumption of iron-rich and diversified diets, while strengthened monitoring through digital tracking has been added as the seventh institutional mechanism. The guidelines also upgrade the programme’s T3 approach of Test, Treat and Talk to T4 by adding ‘Track’ to ensure beneficiaries are monitored after diagnosis and treatment. For pregnant and lactating women with severe anaemia, or those who do not respond to oral iron therapy, intravenous iron treatment using ferric carboxymaltose and iron sucrose has been included as an important clinical intervention under the national treatment protocols. Haemoglobin test records of pregnant women will be linked through the JANANI portal, while records for children will be captured through the RBSK and U-WIN portals.Get the latest India news and live updates.

On SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s promise to develop Ayodhya as “Siyaram Dham” if voted to power, Kumar said the claim did not inspire confidence in view of the party’s past record in the temple town. Kumar alleged that Ayodhya remained neglected under SP govt. “He neither came to Ayodhya for darshan nor worked for its development. Ayodhya resembled a forgotten village. There was dust everywhere, broken roads and dilapidated infrastructure,” he said. Referring to the 1990 police firing on karsevaks during Mulayam Singh Yadav’s tenure as CM, Kumar said voters would judge SP by its record. “Merely giving attractive election slogans in the name of Lord Ram will not work. The public understands the reality,” he added. VHP chief also targeted Congress over allegations that valuables had gone missing from the Ram temple. Citing Trust treasurer Govind Dev Giri’s statement that gold, silver and other valuables were safe, Kumar asked Congress to produce documentary evidence. Calling the allegations an attempt to create unrest and hurt Hindu sentiment, Kumar demanded police action under Section 353 of BNS.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Four paramilitary personnel were killed in a terrorist attack on a Sindh Rangers compound in Karachi Saturday night. It was the city’s first major terrorist strike since Oct 2024. Pakistani security forces killed six terrorists and captured one alive. In Karachi on Saturday, PM Shehbaz Sharif accused India of using “proxies” to undermine peace and stability in Pakistan. Ministry of external affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal rejected the allegations as “baseless”. He said, “Instead of pointing fingers at others, Pakistan would do better to look inwards, take credible action against terror infrastructure…and rid itself of its proclivity to rely on terrorism as an instrument of state policy.Get the latest India news and live updates.

This is inevitable,” Bhagwat said, according to a press release issued after the event.He argued that prevailing global frameworks provide only partial perspectives and are therefore inadequate to fully address the world’s challenges.”Our work is in fact to give completeness to the world,” he said, describing the work of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal as part of a broader civilisational mission.Bhagwat said the Indian worldview does not dismiss other perspectives as incorrect, noting that every society develops its own understanding based on its historical and cultural experiences.Referring to the Indian principle of “Anekata” (plurality), he said it embraces diversity and encourages “Shastrartha”, philosophical dialogue and debate, to understand differing viewpoints. He added that truth is too vast to be confined to any single perspective.The RSS chief also said that Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal’s approach to education is rooted in a holistic Indian philosophy that addresses human beings in their entirety, going beyond material concerns and the tendency to measure everything solely in economic terms.Bhagwat also launched the new website of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal during the event. The three-day conference, attended by around 380 delegates from across the country, was inaugurated on Friday by Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, the release said.Get the latest India news and live updates.

The total increase, the Board said, was 11 marks, including a nine-mark rise in Physics alone.However, Vedant countered CBSE’s claim and said: “9 marks which were increased that were the true marks and were not increased by the process of re-evaluation. CBSE is wrong on this.”CBSE officials said the results of applications for “verification of issues observed and re-evaluation” have been released in batches since June 21. The remaining cases, it said, are in the final stages of processing and are expected to be released in a couple of days. The Board also sought to contrast this year’s timeline with 2025, saying the declaration process last year began on June 27 and was completed on July 11.The clarification comes against the backdrop of the controversy over CBSE’s on-screen marking (OSM) system, rolled out for Class XII this year. Several students and parents had complained of blurred or cropped scanned answer-book pages, missing supplementary sheets, portal glitches and delays in post-result services. CBSE has maintained that the marking scheme was unchanged and that rescans and manual checks were undertaken wherever required.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Officers said they feared Agarwal might instinctively grab her while falling into the gorge, putting her life at risk.”The signal was chosen deliberately so that Goyal would remain out of the victim’s reach during the fatal push. They planned it keeping her safety in mind,” an official said.Police said Goyal had agreed to sit down either on the pretext of drinking water or tying her shoelaces. That action was to signal Chaudhary, who had been trailing the couple, to strike.Investigators also said Chaudhary took several precautions to conceal his movements on June 18. Instead of driving, he allegedly travelled the nearly 90-km distance from Pune to Lohagad Fort on a scooter to avoid leaving records at toll plazas.”He travelled to the fort on a scooter because he feared a car could be detected at toll plazas. We have seized the scooter,” an investigating officer said.Police said Chaudhary climbed the fort wearing a hoodie, later removed it and remained in a black T-shirt before putting the hoodie back on while leaving, allegedly to avoid attracting attention. After the murder, he returned to Pune on the same scooter.Earlier on Sunday, police took Goyal to Lohagad Fort to reconstruct the crime scene using a dummy to recreate the alleged push. Officials said the exercise was aimed at establishing the exact sequence of events leading to Agarwal’s death on June 18.Investigators further claimed the accused had earlier visited the fort to identify a suitable location for the murder and had even carried out a “practice” run.”We are yet to ascertain which other spot they had practised at,” an official said.With the police custody of both accused ending on Monday, investigators said they would seek an extension of their remand. Police also questioned Goyal’s parents and brother on Saturday and recorded their statements as part of the investigation.Get the latest India news and live updates.
