BJP at forefront of serving society, guided by `India First` principle: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended warm greetings to Bharatiya Janata Party’s workers on the occasion of the party`s Foundation Day, emphasising the long-standing commitment to public service and the principle of “India First.” The BJP was established in 1980 after a split from the Janata Party, rooted in its predecessor, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, founded in 1951 by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. It has since grown into one of India’s major national parties with a focus on cultural nationalism and development. Posting on X, PM Modi said, “Warm greetings to all BJP Karyakartas across the nation on the party’s Sthapana Diwas. Our Party has always been at the forefront of serving society, guided by the principle of India First.

They have worked tirelessly at the grassroots, ensuring maximum people are connected to our ideology and work.” He also remembered the workers whose “dedication, sacrifice and perseverance”, he said, have shaped the party’s growth over decades.

India’s energy decisions guided by national interest, says MEA Jaishankar

India’s energy decisions guided by national interest, says MEA Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday asserted that India remains firmly committed to strategic autonomy, even as the global energy markets evolve and partnerships shift, amid a question over whether a recent trade agreement with the United States would affect New Delhi`s energy ties with Russia. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Jaishankar was asked whether the new trade agreement with the US would compel India to reduce its reliance on Russian oil, potentially impacting its strategic autonomy. “We are very much wedded to strategic autonomy because it`s very much a part of our history and our evolution. It`s something which is very deep, and it`s something which cuts across the political spectrum as well,” he said. Addressing concerns over energy sourcing, the minister described the global oil market as complex and dynamic, stressing that commercial considerations guide procurement decisions. “As for energy issues, this is a complex market today. Oil companies in India, as in Europe, as probably in other parts of the world, look at availability, look at costs, look at risks …

India will remain ‘Vishwaguru’ as long as guided by dharma: Bhagwat| India News

Mumbai, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that as long as dharma continues to guide Bharat, the country will remain a “Vishwaguru”, asserting that such spiritual knowledge is not found elsewhere in the world. India will remain ‘Vishwaguru’ as long as guided by dharma: Bhagwat Dharma is the driver of the entire universe and everything runs on that principle, he said at an event here. Bhagwat said that India had inherited a rich spiritual legacy from its ancestors and continued to receive guidance from saints and seers. As long as such dharma drives Bharat, it will remain “Vishwaguru”. The world does not possess this kind of knowledge because it lacks spirituality. This is the “heritage of our ancestors that has come to us,” he said. “Whether it is Narendra bhai, me, you or anyone else, there is one single force that drives all of us. If the vehicle is driven by that force, there will never be an accident. That driver is dharma,” the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief said. Dharma is the driver of …

Sjoerd Marijne, who guided India to historic fourth place at Tokyo Olympics, returns as women’s team chief coach

Sjoerd Marijne, who guided India to historic fourth place at Tokyo Olympics, returns as women’s team chief coach

When Sjoerd Marijne took over the Indian women’s hockey team for the first time in 2017, it was a largely disjointed unit, one in which most players couldn’t run, pass or score. Nine years later, he returns for a third stint with the national team. And when he joins the camp on January 14, Marijne is likely to find the players in the same condition as he first saw them. The Dutchman, who guided the Indian women’s hockey team to a best-ever fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics, has been appointed as the chief coach. He takes over from Harendra Singh, who resigned in December citing ‘personal reasons’. However, it is learnt that his departure came after the players complained to the sports ministry regarding his behaviour and a string of poor results. Hockey India officials said Marijne was approached after senior players recommended his name to lead the team out of the current mess – India failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics, got relegated from the FIH Pro League, a competition for the …

TikTok will show teens guided meditation after 10PM

TikTok will show teens guided meditation after 10PM

TikTok’s wind-down prompt initially only played calming music to remind teens to take a break from the app at nighttime. It was also only shown to teens under 16. But now, the prompts will include meditation, too, and will be available to adults who toggle on “Sleep Hours” from the Screen Time settings page as well. While testing its meditation feature, TikTok says it found 98 percent of users under 16 kept it on after trying it for the first time. Teens can ignore the initial 10PM reminder, but the app will display another full-screen prompt later that’s harder to dismiss. TikTok has until June 19th to divest its US operations or face a ban, but that hasn’t stopped it from trying to address safety concerns. In March, TikTok also launched a Time Away tool that parents or caregivers can use to prevent their child from accessing the app at certain times.

A blue-coloured, limited-edition government manual of over 200 pages, which is not in the public domain, has served as a go-to handbook for key bureaucrats across the country during the past week, as it outlined the response and functions of various arms of government during an armed conflict. While its contents are a secret, this 15-year-old manual is being publicly cited by all authorities. (ANI) The Union War Book 2010 is the original limited edition, so secretive that the ministry of defence, ministry of home affairs and the cabinet secretariat officials who helped prepare it and update it annually can’t tell you who its rightful keepers are but HT learns that there is one copy with each state chief secretary apart from the Union ministries involved. And from fire drills to evacuations and sirens, the entire emergency response to-do list is dictated by this book lying on their desks. “It tells these key officers what each one of them should do in case of a war. So there is no confusion at all and everybody …
