A day after Odisha etched its name in the record books by planting an unprecedented 1.49 crore saplings in a single day, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday led another symbolic green initiative inside the State Assembly premises. All members of the House joined the drive, each planting a sapling of their choice. While the Chief Minister planted a sandalwood sapling, others contributed with neem, bel and various medicinal plants. The initiative was seen as an extension of the state’s ongoing “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign, which has drawn massive public participation.


On Wednesday, Odisha stunned the nation and the world by surpassing its original target of 75 lakh saplings by early afternoon and ultimately planting 1,49,11,339 saplings across 30 districts at...

From diamond rings swiped on credit cards to couple loans financing weddings and honeymoons, financial technology has entwined itself with modern romance. Dowry may be illegal, but a new type of "digital dowry" has emerged, in which emotional commitments are increasingly bound by financial ones, and love is discreetly managed via apps, UPI scans, and EMI plans.

Weddings involve extensive financial planning. Previously, women were sent off with gold bangles and silk sarees. However, times have changed, and the discreet exchange of envelopes has now gone digital with monthly and quarterly payments.

The dowry system may have been abolished in India, but its digital cousin is thriving; fintech experts shed some light on ‘digital dowry’ payment shams

Despite delivering the Sunny Deol blockbusters Jaat, Telugu powerhouse Mythri Movie Makers appears to be taking a cautious step back from Bollywood. Jaat raked in Rs 90 crore net and became Sunny Deol’s career-best grosser after Gadar 2. Yet, trade circles feel it could have been better. “The film’s screenplay and direction left scope for improvement. With production costs soaring and recoveries not fully matching investments, Mythri seems to be slowing down in Hindi,” said a Hindi film distributor.


The banner is taking a cautious step, choosing to double down on its Rs 700-crore Telugu slate featuring Prabhas, NTR, and Ram Charan

The premier of A***n Khan’s series The Ba(star)ds Of Bollywood on the evening of September 17 saw a gathering of the Who’s Who of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan is leaving no stone unturned to make sure his son gets a grand welcome into the film industry. His daughter Suhana, it may be recalled, got a very cold reception when she made her debut two years ago in Zoya Akhtar’s Archies, and this time, the protective father is taking no chances.

The government considers the ration card a key document for welfare schemes, including rice supply, Aarogyasri health benefits, and the Indiramma Housing Scheme. For the past 10 years under the previous BRS government, many eligible families were unable to obtain new ration cards or add their children’s names to existing ones, causing significant hardship. After the formation of the Congress government, officials began accepting applications through Praja Palana and Mee Seva centres. These applications were verified in the field, and new cards were issued along with member additions. This has brought great relief to thousands of beneficiaries who had been waiting for years.


In the past three months, more than one lakh new ration cards have been approved in the erstwhile Warangal district. Along with issuing new cards, the government is also providing fine rice to new...
