Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (L-G), Manoj Sinha, said on Sunday that peace, prosperity and enabling conditions have made the Union Territory a destination for world class events. L-G Sinha said that the Jammu Marathon symbolises the profound transformation which Jammu and Kashmir has embraced since 2019.

He was speaking at the felicitation ceremony of Jammu Marathon at the Maulana Azad Stadium in Jammu. The first-ever International Half Marathon in Jammu, organised by the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism department, featuring 21 km, 10 km and 5 km race categories, witnessed the participation of more than 3,000 runners from across the country and abroad. Terming the Jammu Marathon as a historic milestone, the L-G said that Jammu has firmly established itself on the global running map. He added that the success of the mega event promises a surge in tourism to the enchanting city of Jammu, benefiting trade and businesses and heralding an era of comprehensive development. I see the marathon as the one event where runners don't worry about trophies, rankings, or medals. They just think about the next step. And that's the biggest lesson from a marathon. Jammu and Kashmir itself embodies this principle. Since 2019, we have advanced one step at a time, crafting a new identity for this Union Territory. We have transformed it into a hub of peace and prosperity, now capable of hosting international marathons, cricket tournaments, and even international events, L-G Sinha said. He recalled that when the Union government first conceived the Kashmir Marathon in December 2023 meeting, the goal wasn't just to organise a race, but it envisioned a new Jammu and Kashmir announcing its arrival on the global sporting stage. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, Jammu and Kashmir is now showcasing its boundless tourism potential on the world map, the L-G added. He said that long-awaited dreams and aspirations are becoming a reality. Through Jammu Marathon, the participants have not only discovered new experiences within themselves but also witnessed the profound changes sweeping Jammu and Kashmir, he added.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch MI Vs KKR Match, Know All Details
Indian Premier League: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will start their campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against the three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. MI head into the 2026 season with a clear goal- to lift their sixth title in the tournament. The side will once again be captained by Hardik Pandya, who is leading the team for the third consecutive year and will be eager to deliver a successful campaign this time around. MI made a strong comeback in the last season and secured its spot in the playoffs. Their campaign ended after the team lost to the Punjab Kings in the Qualifiers two. The five-time champions have not won a single trophy after 2020 and they would like to end their quest in the upcoming season. With a strong core that includes Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Trent Boult, Mumbai looks like a well-balanced and dangerous team on paper. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders have also put together a strong squad after making the most of their big budget at the mini-auction. The team will continue under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane, who will rely on a powerful lineup featuring players like Cameron Green, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, and Finn Allen. Notably, this will be the first season in more than ten years that KKR will play without Andre Russell in their squad. KKR had a disastrous season last year, where the team was able to win only five matches out of 14 they played in the group stage. The team finished in 8th position despite coming as the defending champions. When: March 29, 7:30 PM IST Where: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Where to watch on TV: Fans can watch MI vs KKR match live on Star Sports channels.

Beat-based dungeon crawlers, card-battling soccer sims and other new indie games worth checking out
Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. As ever, we've got some new games for you to dive into this weekend, and a glimpse at some upcoming titles. But, first, a look at indie studio Albatross Interactive's take on a multiplayer mode from a much-loved blockbuster. Terminal War is a 4v4 third-person shooter and it seems like the small team of developers is trying to keep things grounded. Ammo and supplies are scarce, and there's an emphasis on melee combat with the promise of rutal executions. The action is set in the late '90s, a few years after a global war, with three factions battling for control and survival in a collapsed version of the United States. Albatross Interactive isn't shy about the inspiration behind Terminal War. They canceled The Last of Us Factions 2, the team wrote on X . So we're building it [sic] our version. In September 2019, nine months before the games eventual release, Naughty Dog confirmed The Last of Us Part 2 wouldnt have a multiplayer mode. At the time, it told players you will eventually experience the fruits of our team's online ambition. That still hasnt exactly come to pass. The studio formally announced The Last of Us Online in June 2022 and canceled it 18 months later . As such, the Factions mode in 2014's The Last of Us Remastered for PS4 remains the franchise's only remaining multiplayer mode. Albatross Interactive, which says it's building Terminal War from scratch, plans to reveal more gameplay soon. The game is slated to hit Steam in early access as soon as this summer . The team expects Terminal War to remain in early access for around 12-18 months, though it noted that we're a small studio and we'd rather take the time to get it right than rush to a finish line. The timeline will ultimately be shaped by community feedback, the scope of content we deliver, and the standard of quality we hold ourselves to. The studio plans to bring the game to consoles as well. New releases Im into the current iteration of Acclaim as an indie publisher (albeit one with a plan to revive its own historic franchises ). Its latest title, GridBeat from Ridiculous Games, is a rhythm-based dungeon crawler in which you're trying to escape from a corporate network after pinching a trove of valuable data. Malware and security protocols are on your tail. Navigating the mazes, interacting with objects and boss battles are all synced to a beat. GridBeat is available on Steam and Nintendo Switch . It typically costs $20, but there's a 10 percent discount on Switch until April 2. It's 15 percent off on Steam until April 9. Given how much time I spent playing Football Manager 26 last year, Nutmeg is right up my alley. Getting veteran commentator Jim Rosenthal to pitch the soccer management sim in the launch trailer certainly doesn't hurt. This is a card-battler take on soccer management and its set in the '80s and '90s. You can start out in the lower divisions and can work your way up to the top of the English soccer system. You'll hire and fire staff, and select your team and formation before taking on an opponent. Completing challenges and doing well in training will earn you more card packs. The trailer reminds me of collecting Panini stickers as a kid as well as the smell of my friends Subbuteo figures. I would have said my favorite thing about this is that everything takes place at an era-appropriate desk with a TV that shows results and standings in the style of Teletext and an old computer that has some retro mini-games you can play. However, Sumo Sheffield and Publisher Secret Mode are donating a small portion of every sale of Nutmeg to charity, which is a nice gesture. Nutmeg is out now on Steam . It'll usually cost you $25, but there's a whopping 40 percent discount until April 2. Devil Jam is a metal-themed spin on the roguelite formula that Vampire Survivors popularized with a dash of Hades -esque characterization mixed in. It's been out on Steam since November and it hit consoles this week. It costs $8 on PS5 and Switch , and $7.59 on Xbox Series X/S . You'll wield a cursed guitar as you battle demonic enemies and bosses. As ever with this type of game, it's all about finding fun, powerful builds by synergizing abilities. You can put those together in a 12-slot gear system. I dig the art style and animation in this game from Rogueside too. I especially love that one character dashes by powersliding on their knees. A couple of months after its debut on Steam , Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator landed on Xbox Series X/S for $20 this week. The latest game from prolific studio Strange Scaffold is a stock market simulator in which you speculate on the simulated lives of babies and how successful (or not) said alien sprogs will be in the future. It takes aim at real-life prediction markets where people can gamble on everything from the Time Person of the Year to nuclear tests. Upcoming Here's another game you can actually check out this weekend, as a playtest is taking place on Steam until March 31. Salvation Denied is a co-op construction sim/tower defense game from Firevolt and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment. You can get together with up to three friends to build experimental structures at the behest of a foreman who looks like he's stepped right out of Team Fortress 2 . You'll have tools like a gravity gun, foam gun and jetpacks on hand to help you form these structures, along with heavy machinery that can move or recycle sections of the build. Coordinating with proximity voice chat could be critical as you and your buds deal with natural disasters like acid rain and meteor showers. I'm almost always going to be on board with a game that's all about chaos, so I'm interested in checking out Salvation Denied . It's set to hit Steam this fall before landing on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2027. Someone has stolen the sun. Reclaiming it is your goal in Light Dude , which is from solo developer Ramy of Dergham Games. It's an action game in which the lights go out when you move, so you'll need to figure out your approach to each level and how to avoid hazards before moving forward. There's a first-person mode here too. Light Dude is slated to hit Steam sometime this spring. A demo is available now. Solo developer Mateo Covic (aka ZoroArts) is looking to follow up on the success of Paddle Paddle Paddle with another friendslop game. Covic said it took just four weeks to create Cool Story Bro. Up to four players each have five minutes to write a short story that includes four words. These are picked at random or taken from a pool of player suggestions. Special items appear throughout each round, such as a revolver, which can take another player out of the game for 10 seconds, and one that swaps everyone's stories. If you're the first player to type an item's name, you can use it. After everyone has finished writing their story, players take turns to read theirs out for the rest of the group. The others vote on whether they liked the tale. If you really hate someone else's short story, you can blow them up with a rocket launcher. If only I had that option at some of the poetry readings Ive been to. This seems fun and silly, and the kind of thing that could easily blow up on Twitch (there's an integration that allows viewers to suggest words). Cool Story Bro is slated to hit Steam sometime in April. Fittingly enough, it's been a long time since Third Shift announced its debut project, Forever Ago . Six years , in fact. The game re-emerged this week during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase . Publisher Annapurna Interactive is bringing it to Xbox Series X/S , PS5 , Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox on PC, Steam and Epic Games Store this fall. It'll be available on Xbox Game Pass (and Xbox Cloud) on day one. This is a road trip adventure in which you take on the role of Alfred. Following a personal tragedy, he ventures north in his minivan to seek redemption. With an instant camera in hand, Alfred will meet new people and explore forests, deserts and mountains. It's another narrative-heavy game from Annapurna, which appears to be leaning heavily into nostalgia this year given that Mixtape is only a few weeks away.

Operation Epic Fury the latest round of military strikes against Iran began when Iran was engaged in negotiations with the United States to renew restrictions on its nuclear program. This is not the first time the United States has bombed Iran during nuclear negotiations. In June 2025, while its representatives were in talks with Iran over that countrys ability to produce nuclear weapons, Washington launched Operation Midnight Hammer, targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Washington has been broader in its selection of targets in Iran this time around, even though one stated U.S. goal

IPL 2026: PBKS Young Guns Are Fearless, Confident, Arent Into Overthinking, Says Shashank Singh
In Punjab Kings: Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh says the fearlessness and confidence shown by the franchise's youngsters is their most striking aspect going into IPL 2026, adding that their ability to stay free of overthinking sets them apart from more experienced players, including himself. In Punjab Kings having a runners-up finish in 2025, their uncapped batters shining bright made for a very compelling story. They collectively scored 1,519 runs - the most by uncapped players of any single team in an IPL season. Left-handed opener Priyansh Arya announced himself on the biggest stage by making 475 runs at a strike rate of 179 and was one of only two uncapped centurions of the tournament. When you're talking about the youngsters, the best attribute is that they're fearless. Talking about my team Punjab, everyone is fearless Priyansh Arya, Nehal Wadhera, Suryansh Shedge, Musheer (Khan) and Harnoor (Singh Pannu). So whoever is coming in a young lot, they are very fearless. I mean, they don't think too much because I realise that we overthink at times - even I sometimes also overthink on things. But these people don't think much at all and that is the best part. The more calm these people can be or the less they think - I mean, no one is calm here - but the less they think, the better they are. So these people don't think too much, Shashank told IANS in the JioStar Press Room ahead of IPL 2026. Prabhsimran Singh smashed 549 runs at a strike rate of 160, while Nehal Wadhera played a full IPL season and made 369 runs in 15 innings. After captain Shreyas Iyer, PBKSs next-best run-getters were Arya, Prabhsimran, Wadhera and Shashank himself. The Arya-Prabhsimran opening pair, who later played for India A, amassed 532 runs together in IPL 2025 and will be expected to make big runs in the upcoming season. Yet the question heading into the new season is a familiar one: can the youngsters replicate their great returns from last year? Shashank, for one, has no doubt about it, though he added that the fearless prodigies of PBKS will mature with time. For example, Priyansh and Suryansh are batting in nets - if four shots don't get hit and they are beaten, I would start thinking that my shoulder didn't come forward, my foot didn't reach to the ball and what happened? But these people don't think anything - even if they hit five or six balls, it goes well as this is a game of confidence, at least at the IPL level. It's more about confidence - that is how confident you are. So the best part of these people is that they are very confident and very fearless. Obviously, someone like Priyansh or Suryansh or all these people are really at a different level in terms of talent. For example, you and I see them batting every day so I feel that they have so much talent so these people should play. Sometimes I feel that there is a little bit of a lack of maturity part and that too takes time. I think and feel that I am a mature cricketer. Sometimes I feel that they might mature as soon as possible, which is good for them. But the best part of these people is that they are very confident and fearless and don't think anything and arent over-thinkers. So it feels really good to chill with them, he elaborated. On the question of unfinished business from last season - PBKS fell six runs short of winning IPL 2025 - Shashank was emphatic that they will go all the way to the trophy this year. I know that on May 31st, we will be playing at the Chinnaswamy and lifting the cup. Its not just a feeling, I know this will happen. It's self belief and team belief. Everyone is on the same page. There is confidence in everyone. We will take it match by match because the ultimate aim is to get a trophy. If we keep thinking we reached the final last year, there will be a lot of pressure on us. So our immediate aim is to prepare for our first game against GT, then against CSK and KKR. To play the final and win is the ultimate goal. But we have to focus on every match, rectify our mistakes and that will be easier. We are very motivated and excited as we are the same group. We are better prepared than last year, he said. For Shashank personally, IPL 2026 is about reclaiming lost ground after a shoulder injury and finger fracture kept him away from a large part of domestic cricket season for his state Chhattisgarh. It is more of a mental game than a skill game during the IPL. The past year didnt go well for me as I had a spate of injuries and I couldnt play competitive cricket much. My biggest goal is to make an impact for the team. For Shashank personally, IPL 2026 is about reclaiming lost ground after a shoulder injury and finger fracture kept him away from a large part of domestic cricket season for his state Chhattisgarh.

VinFast VF 6 or VF 7: Which SUV Fits Your Life Better?
The “ New Entrant Of The Yea r” VinFast brings two solid EV SUVs to India, each with a different focus. Here’s how to pick the one that fits your daily drive in India. So you’ve decided to go electric, and VinFast has caught your eye. The brand is new, the designs are hard to miss, and increasing sightings on Indian roads hint at growing curiosity. For now, the choice is straightforward: the compact B-SUV VF 6 or the larger, more assertive C-SUV VF 7. The “New Entrant Of The Year” VinFast brings two solid EV SUVs to India, each with a different focus Both share the same foundation, but they diverge in ways that become clear once you start living with the car. Exterior design and dimension The VF 6 is the quieter one visually. Guided by the “ Duality in Nature ” philosophy developed by the Italian design house Torino Design, it follows a clean, balanced, and human-centric approach. Its rounded, coupe-like silhouette feels fluid and approachable, with proportions that suit dense urban environments. The design balances opposing elements such as softness and strength, creating a harmonious blend of nature-inspired aesthetics and modern technology tailored for young, active families. The VF 7, by contrast, takes a bolder and more expressive direction. Also developed with Torino Design under the “ Asymmetric Aerospace ” language, it features sharper, more angular lines and sculpted surfaces that give it a stronger visual presence. The wide stance and details like hidden door handles create a sense of motion even when stationary, while larger 19 to 20-inch wheels further enhance its road presence. Conclusion : The VF 6 suits those who prefer a clean, friendly design. The VF 7 is better for drivers who want something more distinctive and expressive. Performance Spec VF 6 Wind Infinity VF 7 Sky Infinity Max Power 150 kW 260 kW Max Torque 310 Nm 500 Nm 0-100 km/h ~8.9 seconds ~5.8 seconds Range ~463 km ~510 km Fast charging (10-70%) ~25 minutes ~28 minutes The difference in performance is immediately noticeable. The VF 7 operates in a higher performance bracket, with significantly more power and nearly double the torque. This translates into quicker overtakes, more confident highway merging, and a stronger sense of acceleration. The VF 6 is tuned for everyday usability. Its 150 kW output is more than sufficient for city commutes, school runs, and weekend trips. Instead of chasing outright performance, it prioritises smoothness and efficiency, making it easier to live with on a daily basis. Conclusion : The VF 7 is clearly the more powerful option, suited to drivers who enjoy a more engaging driving experience. The VF 6 remains more than capable for urban use, with better efficiency and cost optimisation. Technology features Both models embrace the idea of a software-driven vehicle, and that is evident throughout the cabin. A 12.9-inch driver-oriented infotainment screen anchors both interiors. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with over-the-air updates that continuously refine features over time. Aside from the Earth trim, both the VF 6 and VF 7 come standard with a solid ADAS suite, including features such as blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, lane centering, lane change assist, and enhanced collision warning functions. This level of technology becomes more apparent on longer drives, particularly on highways where the system can take on more of the workload. Interior design Inside, the VF 6 takes a clean, functional approach that prioritises comfort and usability. The cabin is built around simplicity, with vegan leather upholstery and a dual-tone layout that feels light and approachable. Surfaces are soft where it matters, and the overall design avoids clutter, making it easy to settle in and operate. The flat floor and well-proportioned cabin help create an open, airy feel, while the seating layout is clearly optimised for everyday family use. The boot is also practical enough for daily errands and weekend trips. This makes the VF 6 especially suitable for young families who need comfort, usability, and flexibility in a compact SUV. The VF 7 shifts the focus toward a more premium and individual experience. The cabin feels wider, materials are more refined, and the layout leans slightly toward the driver. It is less about maximising space for everyone and more about creating a personal, high-quality environment. This positioning makes the VF 7 a better fit for independent, tech-oriented drivers who value design, materials, and a more driver-focused cabin. Conclusion : Choose the VF 6 if you prioritise family comfort and practicality. Choose the VF 7 if you prefer a more premium, driver-oriented interior, with more refined touchpoints throughout the cabin. Safety Safety is another area where both models remain closely aligned. Both the VF 6 and VF 7 have achieved 5-star Bharat NCAP ratings, indicating strong crash protection and structural integrity. The VF 6 comes equipped with seven airbags and a full suite of stability and braking systems. The VF 7 builds on this with more advanced driver assistance features, particularly for highway driving. It also performs strongly in both adult and child occupant protection tests, reinforcing its positioning as a well-rounded family SUV with additional safety support. Nice-to-have features Beyond the core specs and headline features, both models include a range of smaller touches that shape the day-to-day ownership experience. These are the details you may not notice in a showroom, but will appreciate over time. On the VF 6, many of these features are clearly designed around convenience and family use. Special drive modes such as Pet, Camp, Wash, and Valet add flexibility across different situations. The air ioniser with PM1.0 filter improves cabin air quality, which is particularly useful in urban environments. Practical touches like all-window one-touch up and down with anti-pinch, rain-sensing wipers, and a generous boot space reinforce its everyday usability. Even small elements such as power-adjustable, heated mirrors with reverse link make city driving and parking less stressful. The VF 7, meanwhile, builds on this by making several comfort-oriented features more widely available across trims, such as ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control, and a more refined ambient experience. These additions give the VF 7 a more polished, high-end character. Conclusion : The VF 6 focuses its “ nice-to-haves ” on practicality and ease of use, while the VF 7 elevates the experience through added comfort and refinement rather than entirely new features. Policies and incentives Beyond the vehicles themselves, VinFast is working to reduce the friction of switching to electric. The company is building a broader ecosystem in India, including local manufacturing in Tamil Nadu, expanding charging infrastructure, and strengthening after-sales support. The goal is to make ownership predictable and convenient. Customer incentives reflect this approach. Free charging on the V-Green network runs until March 31, 2029, helping eliminate fuel costs for an extended period. There is also a Value Assured programme that addresses resale concerns, along with roadside assistance, three years of free maintenance, and warranty coverage of up to ten years or 200,000 kilometres depending on the model. For buyers transitioning from petrol vehicles, the “ Trade Gas for Electric ” initiative, introduced by Vingroup, adds an additional financial incentive, including a limited-time 3% discount until March 31, 2026. So, which one should you pick? The choice ultimately comes down to how you drive and what matters most in your daily routine. If you are a young family looking for an electric SUV that is easy to use, efficient, and practical for daily routines such as commuting, school runs, and weekend outings, the VF 6 might be the more natural choice If you are a more independent driver who values performance, distinctive design, and a stronger sense of driving engagement, the VF 7 is likely to feel more rewarding. About VinFast VinFast (NASDAQ: VFS), a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, one of Vietnam's largest conglomerates, is a pure-play electric vehicle manufacturer with the mission of making EVs accessible to everyone. VinFast's product lineup includes a wide range of electric SUVs, e-scooters, and e-buses. The company is rapidly expanding its global distribution network and manufacturing capabilities with facilities in Vietnam, India, and planned operations in the United States. The company's Thoothukudi facility in Tamil Nadu represents a $500 million investment and will produce 150,000 vehicles annually when fully operational, creating approximately 3,500 direct jobs. www.vinfastauto.in .

Mpower, a holistic mental health care provider and an initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust , founded by Mrs Neerja Birla , Founder Chairperson Aditya Birla Education Trust and Mpower, reveal a significant rise in emotional stress, loneliness, and relationship-related challenges among women across urban India. Mrs. Neerja Birla brings women’s mental health to centre stage at Mpowering Minds 2026, driving dialogue on evolving needs across life stage Drawing from interactions with over 395,000 female beneficiaries over the past 3 years across counselling centres, helplines, school outreach programmes, and community initiatives, the findings offer a comprehensive view of how mental health concerns among women are evolving across life stages and geographies. The data highlights distinct emotional patterns across age groups, presenting a life-stage view of women’s mental health in urban India. Adolescents (below 18) are increasingly engaging with mental health programmes through schools, educational institutions, and counselling services available to them, reflecting both rising awareness and early emotional vulnerability driven by academic pressure, identity formation, and social dynamics. Young women (18-25) frequently report academic stress, career uncertainty, relationship conflicts, and challenges with emotional boundaries as they transition into adulthood. Women in prime working years (26-49) emerge as the most emotionally burdened, experiencing loneliness, relationship strain, workplace stress, financial pressures, and emotional burnout while balancing multiple roles. Women aged 50+ often face loneliness, family transitions, and evolving emotional needs linked to later life stages. While the overarching trends remain consistent, the data reveals distinct city-specific stressors shaped by local socio-economic and cultural contexts : In Delhi , emotional strain is strongly linked to loneliness among working women and boundary and identity challenges among younger women , reflecting the pressures of high-performance urban environments. In Mumbai , family conflict, marital stress, and relationship tensions emerge as dominant concerns, alongside a notable rise in adolescent engagement , indicating increasing openness toward seeking support. In Kolkata , mental health challenges are shaped by academic pressure, emotional isolation, and family expectations , particularly among younger women navigating educational and career transitions. In Bangalore , women frequently report workplace stress, financial pressures, and burnout , reflecting the demands of a fast-paced, career-driven urban ecosystem. Together, these insights highlight how local realities intersect with broader societal shifts , creating layered and evolving mental health challenges for women across India. Further the analysis of data by Mpower highlights key trends emerging across urban India Loneliness is rising , particularly among working women Relationship stress and family conflict are central emotional triggers Workplace and financial pressures are intensifying distress Early mental health engagement is increasing , especially among adolescents Stigma continues to delay timely support Commenting on the findings, Mrs Neerja Birla , Founder and Chairperson, Aditya Birla Education Trust and Mpower , said, “ Women’s mental health is shaped not only by individual experiences but by the systems they navigate every day across work, family and society. As more women come forward to seek support, it is critical that we build accessible, stigma-free ecosystems across homes, workplaces and communities that enable them to prioritise their wellbeing.” Adding an expert’s perspective Dr. Preeti Parakh, Psychiatrist and Head Mpower- The centre Kolkata and Delhi, said, “What we are seeing across urban India is a shift from episodic stress to more sustained, layered emotional strain among women. At different life stages, these challenges manifest differently -from identity and boundary-related concerns among younger women to chronic emotional fatigue, loneliness, and role overload among those in their 30s and 40s. This highlights the need to understand women’s mental health not as isolated concerns, but as evolving patterns shaped by life transitions, social expectations, and cumulative pressures.” Further, Dr. Harshida Bhansali , Head Psychiatrist, Mpower-The Centre, Mumbai , added, “Untreated mental health concerns in women often have far-reaching consequences - impacting not only individual wellbeing, but also family dynamics, workplace productivity, and long-term health outcomes. Delayed intervention can lead to more complex psychological and physical conditions over time. Strengthening early access to support through schools, workplaces, and communities, along with normalising help-seeking, is critical to reducing this long-term social and economic cost.” The findings underscore the need for coordinated efforts to address women’s mental health challenges: Expanding access to affordable counselling services Integrating mental health awareness in education systems Strengthening workplace wellbeing policies Encouraging open, stigma-free conversations Integrating Mental Health into Primary Healthcare Ensuring access to psychiatric care and essential medications Expanding the mental health workforce (psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers) Building early intervention systems for children and adolescents Leveraging digital mental health platforms with quality and privacy safeguards Strengthening implementation of mental health policies and increasing public health funding Developing community-based support systems and peer networks Establishing robust crisis intervention services, including 24/7 helplines Training non-specialists (teachers, managers, frontline workers) in basic mental health support Promoting preventive mental health practices and emotional resilience at all life stages At Mpower, a sustained focus on women’s mental health is reflected not only in its on-ground interventions but also in the data emerging from its work, which highlights critical gaps in access, awareness, and continuity of care. Building on these insights, the organisation convened the Mpowering Minds 2026 Women’s Mental Health Summit - bringing together experts, practitioners, and thought leaders from India and globally to examine these challenges in depth. The discussions were anchored in real-world evidence, enabling a richer exchange of perspectives and solutions, and culminated in a collective call to action for more integrated, accessible, and life-stage–responsive mental health support systems for women. About Mpower Backed by Aditya Birla Education Trust, Mpower is a pioneering holistic mental health initiative, now marking a decade of impact in transforming mental health awareness and care in India. Since its inception in 2016, under the leadership of Mrs. Neerja Birla, Mpower has been committed to building an inclusive ecosystem where individuals and their caregivers receive professional support, compassionate care, and acceptance - free from stigma or discrimination. Through a multidisciplinary and integrated approach, Mpower delivers impact across a diverse ecosystem - including clinical services, outreach and awareness programs, institutional partnerships, helplines, educational initiatives such as Minds Matter, and sports-focused interventions like AMP . Its growing footprint spans multiple locations including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Kolkata, Delhi, Palghar, Kalyan, JECRC University (Jaipur), Kota , along with campus-based presence across BITS Pilani (Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad) and other partner institutions. Over the past 10 years, Mpower has played a pivotal role in normalizing conversations around mental well-being, reaching millions through its care delivery, prevention programs, and large-scale partnerships - continuing to enable individuals to seek support with dignity, confidence, and hope. mpowerminds.com .
Antara Senior Care Home in Noida Becomes First in City to Get NABH Accreditation
The Antara Care Home in Noida has become the first senior care facility in the district to be awarded the NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers) Care Home Accreditation—a set of safety and quality norms designed specifically to standardise care delivery in residential facilities. Noida Care Home in Sector 66 is the second facility in the Antara network to receive NABH Care Home Accreditation its Gurugram Care Home became the first facility in India to receive this certification from the country’s apex healthcare quality. This reflects the organisation’s continued dedication to excellence in personalised ageing-related care, transparent operations, family involvement in care decisions, and measurable outcomes meeting the highest national standard in senior care. Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, “Choosing a care home for a loved one is ultimately a decision made on trust. The NABH accreditation offers that trust as proof. It means that here care is delivered through defined processes, by qualified and trained professionals, against standards that are independently verified. For us, this certification reflects our long-standing belief that quality senior care cannot be left to chance. Our goal is to extend this standard across our care home network in Delhi-NCR, Bangalore and Chennai, and continue raising the bar for what families should expect from senior care in India.” As part of the accreditation process, the Antara Care Home in Noida Sector 66 was assessed across several critical parameters including resident safety, quality of life measures, clinical governance, staff qualifications and training, medication management, infection prevention and control, physical infrastructure standards, including round-the-clock availability of essentials like potable water and electricity, installation and periodic inspection of safety devices. This rigorous evaluation also encompassed several health and safety parameters, including bio-medical waste management systems, regular facility rounds with documented inspections, emergency preparedness and rights of residents through grievance redressal mechanisms. Prem Singh Rathore, Chief Quality Officer, Antara Senior Care, said, “Senior care in India has evolved in an informal and fragmented manner. It’s largely unregulated with wide variations in quality and safety delivered. NABH accreditation represents an important shift toward making ecosystems more structured, accountable, scalable with readiness to deliver standardised care. It ensures that care delivery is guided by documented processes, measurable standards, and continuous quality improvement across functions. Achieving this accreditation reflects Antara’s commitment to operational excellence and to building systems that can deliver safe and dignified care consistently for every resident.” India is on the cusp of a significant demographic shift that is reshaping the country’s care needs. Its senior population is set to more than double to ~350 million by 2050 (JLL-ASLI report, 2024) with the 80+ population growing by 279% in the same timeframe (UNFPA). To improve health span alongside rising lifespan, the need for structured, reliable, and professionally managed senior care infrastructure is becoming urgent. But India's senior care ecosystem remains largely fragmented and unregulated leading to inconsistencies in care delivery. The adoption of NABH Care Homes Accreditation Standards, introduced by the country’s apex healthcare accreditation body, is a decisive step towards building institutional preparedness to meet India’s rising need for safe and high-quality environments that deliver dignified care. Antara remains committed to redefining senior care by combining medical expertise with an environment designed for dignity, compassion, and trust. The 53-bed Antara Care Home in Noida’s Sector 66 offers short-, medium- and long-term living solutions for seniors who need assistance with activities of daily living as an outcome of ageing; the FFRO-licenced facility also offers short-term, clinically supervised, structured care after surgery or acute illness. It has state-of the-art infrastructure for transition care, an engaging social calendar designed to alleviate loneliness and promote mental alertness, 24x7 nursing, specialist doctor support, geriatric-trained teams, in-house kitchen offering specialised meals planned by dieticians, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. www.antaraseniorcare.com . About Antara Senior Care Launched in 2013, Antara is the senior-care business of Max India Limited, part of the $7-billion Max Group. It is an integrated ecosystem for senior care, operating in two main lines of business – Residences for Seniors and Assisted Care Services.

World Public Summit. India 2026 concluded in New Delhi today after four days of discussions on international cooperation, public diplomacy, and emerging global frameworks. Held from 23 to 26 March, the Summit brought together representatives from civil society, academia, business, and international organisations. Lamp Lighting Ceremony – World Public Summit. India 2026 The Summit resulted in the adoption of the Delhi Declaration, outlining recommendations and areas of collaboration across regions, expected to contribute to the agenda for the global summit in Moscow. The Delhi Principle emphasises that human unity unfolds through respect for civilizational diversity, human dignity, and shared responsibility for the future. Organised by the World Peoples Assembly in cooperation with the BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Summit marked the beginning of a series of regional engagements scheduled across multiple geographies ahead of the World Public Summit in Moscow later this year. Held under the theme “ New World: India in the Architecture of a Shared Future ,” the programme included a plenary session and discussions on culture, leadership, media, and economic cooperation, along with roundtables on youth engagement, women’s participation and emerging sectors including space. The Summit saw participation from key dignitaries including Mr Sameep Shastri, Vice Chairman, BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ms Meenakshi Lekhi, Former Minister of State for External Affairs of India, Ms Svetlana Konstantinovna Smirnova, Chairperson of the General Council of the World Peoples Assembly, and Oleg Skripochka, a Russian cosmonaut and Hero of the Russian Federation. Addressing the gathering, Mr Sameep Shastri, Vice Chairman, BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry , said, “As the world stands at a defining moment, with new alliances emerging and the Global South gaining prominence, the idea of conscious unity becomes a necessity. This platform must move beyond dialogue towards meaningful collaboration. The future will be shaped by collective resilience and a shared commitment to cooperation over conflict, guided by purpose and a sense of unity.” Speaking on the importance of meaningful dialogue in today’s scenario, Ms Meenakshi Lekhi, Former Minister of State for External Affairs of India, said, “In today’s world, meaningful dialogue is more important than ever. Harmony cannot be imposed, and it has to come from within the human conscious. Platforms like the World Public Summit enable us to sit across the table, engage in honest conversations and truly listen to each other. When we understand different perspectives and step into each other’s shoes, empathy takes over and solutions begin to emerge.” Discussions at the Summit focused on key global issues including geopolitics and security, sustainable development, technology and the future of humanity, humanitarian values, and the evolving global economy. The Public Summit in India also marked the beginning of a series of regional summits to be held in the Arab World, Latin America, Africa and Europe in 2026. Svetlana Konstantinovna Smirnova, Chairperson of the General Council of the World Peoples Assembly, said, “The idea of a new world of conscious unity is about peace, harmony, friendship and shared purpose. It is not utopia, but a future we can build together. Through the World Peoples Assembly, we bring together civil society, business and communities across countries to strengthen public diplomacy and create meaningful dialogue that shapes a more connected and cooperative world.” As a part of the event, Cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka, Hero of the Russian Federation, will also host a series of educational events in India to mark the 65th anniversary of the first human spaceflight, including a round table at the Russian House in New Delhi and student interactions. During his address, he said, “From space, you see how small and fragile our planet is, our only common home. We have no alternative but to live and work together. In space programmes, people from different countries, cultures and traditions come together, find common ground and achieve shared goals. This gives us hope that on Earth too, we can solve problems and move forward in peace and harmony.” Highlighting the growing momentum in international partnerships, Alexey Bondaruk, CEO of the Moscow Center for International Cooperation , said , “India remains one of our key strategic partners, and cooperation continues to expand across trade, investment and innovation. This partnership reflects strong momentum and shared intent. As a major economic and innovation hub, Moscow is open to new joint initiatives and looks forward to deeper collaboration based on shared knowledge, technology and mutual trust.” The Summit featured panel discussions, including the Opening Plenary “ India: Unity in Diversity — the Architecture of a Common Future. Values that Unite ,” with speakers such as Svetlana Smirnova, Hélène Perroud and Himadrish Suwan, focusing on unity and value-based leadership. It also included sessions on “ Peace through Culture: Shared Values as the Basis for a Common Future ,” featuring Shri Manoj Kumar Tiwari, Member of the Lok Sabha, Anand Raaj Anand and Sandeep Marwah. “The World Public Summit India has demonstrated the power of dialogue rooted in mutual respect. It is through inclusive platforms like this that we build bridges across nations, cultures, and communities for a more balanced global”, said State-Secretary of World Peoples Assembly, Alena Dolgopolova . Dalbir Singh , Member of the Supreme Advisory Council of the World Peoples Assembly, President of the Foundation for Policy and Governance and Chairman of One Globe Forum India, said, “India offers a powerful model through the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the world is one family. It is not merely an idea but a framework for global cooperation rooted in mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. We must move from dialogue to action and build a future where humanity is united not by necessity, but by shared purpose. This must become our collective vision and responsibility.” The World Peoples Assembly is an international union of non-governmental organizations that serves as a humanitarian platform for cooperation between peoples based on trust, mutual respect and shared values. The Summit brought together participants from 153 countries.

Parents Sacrificed All For 15-Year-Old India Prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's parents told AFP how they made a practice pitch in their village in India's poorest state to spark the teenage cricket prodigy's stunning rise -- and now his younger brother hones his skills on it. Suryavanshi was the talk of world cricket after making history in the Indian Premier League last year aged just 14 in a dazzling debut season. The supremely talented left-handed batsman, who turned 15 on Friday, belted a six on the first ball he faced for Rajasthan Royals. Days later the school boy smacked a 35-ball century, the second fastest in the T20 competition's history after Chris Gayle (30 balls). He is fearless, Manish Ojha, one of Suryavanshi's first coaches, told AFP ahead of the new IPL season starting on Saturday. That is his nature. Suryavanshi's stunning introduction to elite cricket was no flash in the pan. He then hammered 175 off just 80 balls -- an innings laced with a staggering 30 boundaries -- in February, helping India thump England by 100 runs in the Under-19 ODI World Cup final in Harare. He was named player of the match and player of the tournament, having finished with 439 runs in seven innings at an average of 62.71. The teenager's rise has been swift since first picking up a bat when he was barely five. He made his domestic debut aged 12 for his home state of Bihar in the Ranji Trophy in January 2024, then was selected for India's under-19 squad against a touring Australia team. He promptly hit a 58-ball century, the second-fastest ton in youth Tests after England's Moeen Ali in 2005. Ojha praised Suryavanshi's ability to replicate what he learned in the nets, including the one his parents had put together, in the heat of competition. What makes him special is the ability to execute plans on match days, said Ojha. - 'Cricket is his life' - Suryavanshi's blistering march to teenage superstardom from India's poorest state has involved significant sacrifice from his middle-class parents. For years his father accompanied him every other day from their home in the village of Motipur to Ojha's cricket academy in Bihar's capital city, Patna, a one-way journey of roughly two-and-a-half hours. My small business failed because of my full-time focus on training Vaibhav, Sanjeev Suryavanshi told AFP outside the family's two-storey house. For his mother it involved getting up before everyone. It was not easy to wake up at 3:00 am to cook for him so that he could take homemade food with him, said Aarti Singh. The sacrifices paid off when a 13-year-old Suryavanshi in 2024 became the youngest-ever player to be sold in an IPL auction. Rajasthan Royals snapped him up for $130,500 -- more than a hundred times the average per capita annual income in Bihar. Born on March 27, 2011, Suryavanshi is the first IPL cricketer born after the tournament's inception in 2008. In a Rajasthan Royals media interaction earlier this month, Suryavanshi cheekily said he hoped to score two-three thousand runs in this year's tournament, before playing down personal goals. The idea is to follow the process and help the team win, said Suryavanshi, whose media duties are limited by the team to protect him. Back home in Motipur, father Sanjeev said the family is now eagerly waiting for Suryavanshi to don senior India colours. He has been playing extraordinary cricket so far, a proud Sanjeev said, as he watched his youngest son Ashirwad, 11, practise on the same modest pitch he had built near their home.

IPL 2026: GT Wants To Be A Team That Consistently Scores Big Runs, Says Captain Gill
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill said his sides focus in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season will be on consistently posting big totals, as the 2022 champions look to clinch another title when the ten-team competition begins on March 28. At the end of the day, you have to score more runs than the other team. Whether its by four runs or 150200 runs, the goal is to win. We are not chasing the glory of scoring 300350 in a single match. We want to be a team that consistently scores big runs and achieves the par target for that wicket. We want to win matches in different conditions. We dont want to be a team that performs only on good wickets, said Gill in a pre-season press conference on Thursday. GT will begin their IPL 2026 campaign against last years runners-up, Punjab Kings, in Mullanpur on March 31. Head coach Ashish Nehra backed his captains approach. Like the captain just mentioned, we want to be a team that can win in any condition, in any situation, home or away, he said. Since their debut in 2022, GT have reached the playoffs in three out of four seasons, winning the title in their inaugural campaign and being runners-up in 2023. Nehra also defended the criticism towards GTs middle order due to over-reliance on the top three of Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler to get big runs. First things first, as a coach, I dont feel the middle order was collapsing. Yes, the top three scored heavily and often batted through 17-18 overs, which is one of the main reasons the team was in such a strong position after 13-14 games. Since their debut in 2022, GT have reached the playoffs in three out of four seasons, winning the title in their inaugural campaign and being runners-up in 2023.

IPL 2026: I Don't Have Anything To Prove In This Season, Particularly, Says Shubman Gill
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said he feels no pressure to prove himself in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, adding that his focus is on making his team win another title this year rather than chasing personal milestones. Gill, Indias captain in Tests and ODIs, was left out of the T20I team to make room for Sanju Samson in the top order. It proved to be a move that paid off really well as India claimed a record third Mens T20 World Cup title at the Narendra Modi Stadium earlier this month. Not at all. I think, if you look at the past three or four seasons, I have the most runs in IPL. So, I don't think I have anything to prove, in this season particularly. The four years that I've played for this team, I think we have done decently well as a team, and I think I've done decently well as a batsman. So, I don't think I need to prove my worth to anyone. I think I need to do what I've been doing for the past four years. As a team, we need to be consistent, which I think we have been. If we continue doing that, sooner or later, I think we will win that trophy once more, said Gill, who became GTs captain in IPL 2024, in a pre-season press conference on Thursday. The right-handed batter also voiced his opinion against the Impact Player rule, saying that it is making the game one-dimensional. Gills words come just a day after he attended the IPL captains and managers meeting in Mumbai, where it was announced that the Impact Player rule will remain till the 2027 season. Personally, for me, I don't think there should be an Impact Player rule. I think cricket in general is an 11-player game, and on the wickets and grounds that we play, adding an extra batter takes the skill out of the game. There is a certain skill in the game that you need to have, and when you know when you have a certain number of batters and if a couple of your batters get out, there is a certain amount of skill that you need to have to still get the scoreboard moving and get your team to a good score. I think with that one extra player, it's making the game more one-dimensional, and it's taking a little bit of the skill out of the game. Chasing 180 or 160 on a challenging wicket is, for me personally, way more exciting than chasing 220 on a flat wicket. So, I mean, it's gonna be there till 2027 -- it's something that we also spoke about in the captain's meeting yesterday. I understand it makes the game a bit more entertaining, but let's see if it's up to them and what the BCCI is going to take a decision on this. But personally, I don't like it that much, he elaborated. Gill signed off by reiterating that personal goals are never a priority for him in terms of targets in the immediate future, whether hes turning out for GT or India. Honestly, I am not the one to look too much into personal goals, whatever team I am playing for, whether it be for my country or for Gujarat. So, I mean, it's gonna be there till 2027 -- it's something that we also spoke about in the captain's meeting yesterday. I understand it makes the game a bit more entertaining, but let's see if it's up to them and what the BCCI is going to take a decision on this. But personally, I don't like it that much, he elaborated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score If you are playing a series, you are looking to beat the other teams in the series, so those are the goals that I look forward to, and I don't really have my personal goals. Like right now, its obvious to win the IPL. Once that ends, obviously, we are going to have some other tournaments within the team. So my personal goals would change into that, and that's how I like to look at my goals. Article Source: IANS

County Championship Division One: India leg-spinner Rahul Chahar will return to Surrey for their final eight matches in the upcoming County Championship season, the club said on Thursday. Chahar, 26, made a stunning debut for Surrey last year, claiming 10 wickets in a victory over Hampshire, including second-innings figures of 8/51.
