Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel gave the reply, providing a caste-disaggregated breakdown from NFHS-5 (2019-21), in which J&K's overall figure stood at 74.5 per cent, while also citing the more recent NFHS-6 national figure of 79.2 per cent. For J&K, the NFHS-5 data placed 76.1 per cent of SC women and 51 per cent of ST women in the hygienic-methods category, a gap of 25.1 percentage points, among the widest recorded across states. Since then, the NFHS-6 fact sheet shows J&K's overall figure across all women aged 15-24 climbing to 82.5 per cent, with usage at 95.5 per cent in urban areas and 79.3 per cent in rural areas, an improvement of 8 percentage points over NFHS-5. The ministry said data was not available for six UnionTerritories, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Ladakh, Lakshadweep and Puducherry,in the NFHS-5 caste breakdown. It added that menstrual hygiene management is being strengthened through the Menstrual Hygiene Scheme under the National Health Mission, in coordination with States and UTs, while data on water, sanitation and allied indicators is collected separately by the concerned ministries.

J&K becomes 10th fully literate State/UT
Srinagar, Aug 04: Jammu and Kashmir has joined the league of fully literate States and Union Territories under the Government of India's ULLAS (Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society) scheme, achieving a 99.09 percent success rate and becoming the largest population region to attain this milestone. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha extended his heartiest congratulations to teachers, administrators, and every stakeholder for the historic achievement. In a post on X, the Lieutenant Governor wrote: UT of Jammu Kashmir proudly joins the league of Fully Literate States/UTs under the ULLAS scheme of Government of India. With 99.09% success, it stands tall as the largest population region to achieve this milestone. Congratulations to our teachers, administrators and every stakeholder who made this possible. Let us always remember that education is the truest force of empowerment and our collective responsibility is to keep advancing this mission. Out of 1,80,317 non-literates identified, 1,78,680 have passed (99.09 percent) under the ULLAS scheme. The criterion for declaring a State or UT fully literate is achieving a literacy rate of 95 percent or above, acknowledging that 100 percent literacy is unfeasible due to factors such as advanced age and intellectual abilities. So far, nine States and UTs had declared themselves as fully literate under ULLAS: Ladakh, Mizoram, Goa, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand. Jammu and Kashmir is the 10th State/UT to achieve this status and has the largest population among those declared fully literate so far. States and UTs have prepared their strategies and plans and adopted best practices to achieve full literacy in accordance with the above criteria.

New Delhi [India], August 4 : Air India flight AI2379, operating from Phuket to Delhi, experienced a sudden loss of altitude during cruise on Tuesday, following which 13 passengers and four crew members sustained injuries and were taken to hospital for medical evaluation. According to an Air India spokesperson, Earlier today, Air India flight AI2379 operating from Phuket to Delhi experienced a sudden loss of altitude during cruise. After the momentary event, the aircraft continued normally and landed safely in Delhi at 11:07 hrs IST. The Airbus A320neo aircraft was carrying 137 passengers and eight crew members. Of these, 13 passengers and four crew members sustained injuries and were taken to hospital for medical evaluation. As of 18:50 hrs on August 4, five passengers have been discharged, while the remaining individuals continue to receive treatment and care, the airline said. Air India teams remain at the hospitals and in close contact with those affected to provide all necessary assistance and support, the spokesperson said. In accordance with established safety and regulatory procedures, the relevant regulatory authorities have been informed. Air India is fully cooperating with the investigation, and the aircraft manufacturer has also been notified. Air India's foremost priority remains the safety and well-being of its passengers and crew. We will continue to support those affected and their families and will work closely with the relevant authorities throughout the course of the investigation, the spokesperson said. Meanwhile, a passenger onboard recounted the ordeal, saying his father was thrown into the air and hit the aircraft's roof, while his mother and two-year-old daughter also suffered injuries, describing the incident as a rebirth. My father was sitting on the aisle seat and was having coffee. He was not wearing a seat belt as there was no mandatory light for it. Suddenly, a big jolt happened and he flew and hit the roof and fell on the floor, the passenger said. My mother, who was sitting near the window, had her head smashed into the overhead cabins, which got swollen. She was later treated at the airport by the Medanta team, he said. One part of the overhead cabin fell and hit my mother near her left eye and caused swelling there too, the passenger added. Recounting how his wife and two-year-old daughter were affected, he said, My wife and my two-year-old daughter also flew in the air and dropped into the passage between the seats. My daughter suffered a head injury and swelling but was also treated by the Medanta team at the airport. Since the doctor said that the injuries were minor, we were discharged and left for Chandigarh by cab, he said. Describing the experience as extremely frightening, the passenger said, I would say that it was a rebirth for all of us. There were screams and my elder daughter, who is five years old, was so scared, as were we all. But we stayed put in Waheguru, and we landed safely. Praising the flight crew, he said, The pilot did a good job in helping us calm down. The crew was very helpful. Calling for an investigation into the incident, the passenger said, A thorough inquiry should be done to improve air safety for all. (ANI)

Railway officers torchbearers of New Indias pace, capability and resolve: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Aug 04: The Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today addressed and congratulated the officer trainees of the Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management, Lucknow, who are on the field visit to Jammu Kashmir. The Lieutenant Governor highlighted their important role in shaping the future of the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) and expressed immense pleasure in interacting with the 69 officer trainees selected through the Civil Services Examination in 2022, 2023, and 2024 batch. You are the torchbearers of New Indias pace, capability, and resolve. The diversity of backgrounds among the trainees, spanning engineering, medicine, law, science, and the arts, and representing states/UTs across the country including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, West Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Odisha, and Chandigarh, reflects the soul of India. This diversity transforms into a shared national purpose during training, making the Institute a true laboratory of national unity, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor emphasized the key role of Indian Railways in Indias transformation. He highlighted the progress achieved over the past 12 years under the leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Electrification at record levels, the expansion of the dedicated Freight Corridor, the realization of the dream of connecting Kashmir to Kanyakumari, the launch of world-class Vande Bharat trains, and modernization of stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme are hallmarks of this new era. It must be noted by the officer trainees that Indian Railways is no longer just a passenger transport system but the driving force of economic development, logistics efficiency, and national unity, he said. The Lieutenant Governor urged the officer trainees to embrace their responsibilities as tough administrators and also as nation-builders. He also stressed the importance of efficiency in freight and passenger transportation. Every minute saved reduces logistics costs, strengthens industry competitiveness, and enhances Indias global standing. Officers of IRMS, IRPFS, and Accounts must balance administrative discipline with human sensitivity, ensuring safety, financial prudence, and public service, he said. The Lieutenant Governor outlined three guiding principles for the trainees including continuous innovation through digital technology, artificial intelligence, and data-driven systems, citizen-first service with respect, accessibility, and sensitivity for all passengers and freight customers and integrity and transparency as custodians of unprecedented national investments in Indian Railways. India is moving forward with confidence towards becoming a developed nation by 2047. Your decisions, strategies, and leadership will directly shape the future of millions of Indians. I hope you will remain dedicated to the selfless service of Mother India, lighting the path to a bright and prosperous future, the Lieutenant Governor said. Rahul, Course Director and Professor (Traffic Planning & Costing), officials and faculty members of Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management were also present.

Vlaeminck, Brown Headline Australia A Women's Squad For India Tour
T20 World Cup: Experienced international fast bowlers Darcie Brown and Tayla Vlaeminck will spearhead an Australia A women's squad for the India tour, starting September 12. The three-week tour comprises three T20s in New Chandigarh, three 50-over fixtures in Mohali and a four-day match at the picturesque Dharamshala ground in a three-week tour. The tour will mark a long-awaited return to top-flight cricket for Vlaeminck, who has endured a run with injuries, while Brown will feature in the white-ball component of the tour. Tahlia Wilson will captain Australia A in the 50-over matches in Mohali. Victoria's Nicole Faltum will captain in the T20 matches, while Tasmania's Rachel Trenaman will skipper in the four-day match. Vlaeminck dislocated her bowling shoulder while fielding on the boundary in the opening over of her first match of the 2024 T20 World Cup. She had lost her Cricket Australia contract in April following the torrid run of shoulder, foot and knee injuries. Brown was a surprise omission for Australia's T20 World Cup campaign which saw the Sophie Molineux-led side sweep through the tournament undefeated. She was effectively been replaced in the national side by Lucy Hamilton. National selector Shawn Flegler said, Both bring invaluable international experience to the group and having them alongside some of our younger players provides a great opportunity for those emerging cricketers to learn from two world-class fast bowlers while continuing their own development. The squad will be coached by Gavan Twining, stepping in from his role as an assistant with Australia's senior side, with Mick Delaney and Cameron Boyce his assistants. National selector Shawn Flegler said, Both bring invaluable international experience to the group and having them alongside some of our younger players provides a great opportunity for those emerging cricketers to learn from two world-class fast bowlers while continuing their own development.
