The Next PWL Season Will Be Held Across All Major Cities: WFI Chief Sanjay Singh
The Wrestling Federation: The Wrestling Federation of India president Sanjay Singh expressed optimism on the growth of ongoing Pro Wrestling League (PWL) 2026 at the Noida Indoor Stadium saying the league will be expanded to multiple cities in future seasons. The PWL 2026 kicked off on January 15, with the grand finale scheduled for February 1, marking the return of the league after six-year hiatus. The next PWL season will be held across all major cities. This time, due to time constraints, the league was organised only at the Noida Stadium. However, next season everyone will get the opportunity to enjoy the excitement, WFI chief Sanjay Singh told IANS. On the revival of the Pro Wrestling League, Sanjay Singh said the competition had earlier benefitted wrestlers significantly but was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He added that sustained efforts from the federation and government eventually led to its return. The wrestlers benefited a lot from the league earlier, but it had to be stopped because of Covid. After that, there was a gap due to various reasons, but everyone the federation and the government kept pushing to restart it in some way so the wrestlers could benefit again, Singh said. Headlined by Japans Yui Susaki, who attracted a record bid of Rs 60 lakh from the Haryana Thunders, women wrestlers emerged as the top attractions in the player auctions for the Pro Wrestling League (PWL) 2026. Alongside Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Susaki, World Championship medallist Antim Panghal was snapped up by UP Dominators for Rs 52 lakh in the womens 53 kg category, while Puerto Ricos Ana Godinez fetched Rs 46 lakh from Punjab Royals in the womens 62 kg division. Delhi Dangal Warriors added further depth to their squad by securing Azerbaijans Anastasiya Alpayeva for Rs 27 lakh in the womens 76 kg category. Highlighting the impact of PWL on wrestler development, Singh said competing against foreign opponents helped raise standards and confidence. There are two big benefits. One is that our wrestlers get to compete against foreign wrestlers, which removes fear and builds belief. You saw the match against Yu Yu Sasaki go the full six minutes. That kind of exposure helps everyone, he said. Speaking about the current season, Singh said the league has regained momentum. The league is currently at its peak with full enthusiasm, he said. On the introduction of rules like the power minute and revised technical superiority limits, Singh said the intent was to add excitement while maintaining the sports core structure. The Olympic technical superiority rule remains the same. We have increased it slightly here for entertainment. The Power Minute has brought excitement at the end of matches both wrestlers and spectators feel that energy, he explained. Singh reaffirmed that PWL would now be a permanent fixture on the sporting calendar. PWL is now a regular event. It has started again and it will not stop. Viewership will keep increasing, and after cricket, PWL has the potential to become the next biggest league, he said. The Olympic technical superiority rule remains the same. We have increased it slightly here for entertainment. The Power Minute has brought excitement at the end of matches both wrestlers and spectators feel that energy, he explained.

Haryana police issue nearly 5 lakh traffic challans on NH-44 in 2025
Haryana Police issued nearly five lakh traffic challans on NH-44 in 2025. CCTV and ANPR cameras on the Ambala-Sonipat section significantly improved road safety.

1st South Asian Agroforestry & Trees Outside Forests Congress to be hosted from (5th-7th) February 2026 Crucial Three-Day Congress For Collective Deliberation on agroforestry for enhanced climate resiliency and agricultural livelihoods In a bid to amplify agroforestry’s contribution in India, the Centre for International Forestry Research - International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) in collaboration with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is all set to host TREESCAPES, the first South Asian Agroforestry & Trees Outside Forests Congress from (5th - 7th) February 2026 at the National Agricultural Science Complex (NASC), Pusa Campus in New Delhi. With a vision to establish Agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests (TOF) as mainstream and scalable solution s supporting climate-resilient landscapes, sustainable livelihoods, and economic growth across South Asia , the three-day regional congress will bring together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, civil society, farmers, and youth from across South Asia to exchange knowledge, showcase best practices, and deliberate on innovative solutions to mainstream and scale AF-TOF systems in the South Asian region in the esteemed presence of Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Hon’ble Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India, Madan Prasad Pariyar, Hon’ble Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development, Government of Nepal, Ahmed Hassan Did i , Hon’ble Minister of State for Agriculture and Animal Welfare, Republic of Maldives, Rao Narbir Singh, Hon’ble Minister, Environment, Forest and Wildlife, Government of Haryana and other dignitaries. Speaking on the need for such a Congress, Mr. Manoj Dabas, India Country Director, CIFOR-ICRAF stated, “Tree-based systems account for 19.3% of the country’s carbon stocks and could help abate over 2 billion tonnes of CO equivalent by 2030. This is just a fraction of the potential. With 86.1% of Indian farmers classified as marginal, unlocking this potential will depend on aligning carbon finance frameworks and policy instruments with India’s fragmented landholdings and locally adapted agroforestry practices. India is already importing more than 7 billion USD worth of wood and wood-based products from other countries, with a CAGR of 15%. This needs to change. With TREESCAPES 2026, we at CIFOR-ICRAF aim to spearhead dialogue on more effective implementation of agro-forestry in India and chart a collective pathway for mainstreaming AF-TOF systems across the region in line with India’s climate and net-zero goals.” TREESCAPES 2026 aims to highlight the policy, regulatory, and institutional gaps related to agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests. Through various panel discussions and thematic sessions, the Congress will facilitate various dialogues on scaling agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests using digital tools, water-secure landscape approaches, and farmer-led innovation while simultaneously deliberating on crucial aspects of financing, certification, and value chains, in addition to climate and ecosystem services, seed and genetic systems, bioeconomy opportunities, and carbon finance mechanisms to make tree-based systems viable at scale across South Asia. According to The State of Food and Agriculture 2025 (FAO), nearly 1.7 billion people globally live in regions where crop yields are declining due to human-induced land degradation, posing a direct concern to agricultural productivity and food security. In India, agroforestry is emerging as a critical response to this challenge, offering measurable gains for climate mitigation, rural resilience, and farmer incomes. From a South Asian lens, agroforestry has helped reduce deforestation across Southeast Asia by an estimated 250,319 hectares (618,552 acres) per year between 2015 and 2023, preventing between 43.3 million and 74.4 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually, as per a study published in Nature Sustainability. The benefits of agroforestry far outweigh its cons, especially where a country like India is concerned. A 9-year study by ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) in Eastern India found in 2025, that one-acre farms under agroforestry sequestered up to 154.5 megagrams (Mg) of carbon dioxide equivalent over nine years, while maintaining food production and generating substantial income for farming families. TREESCAPES 2026 is being organised jointly by CIFOR-ICRAF and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), with the ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute (CAFRI), Jhansi, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), and the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), Bhopal, as Organising Partners. The Thematic Partners for TREESCAPES 2026 include GIZ, Haryana Forest Development Corporation, ITC Limited, The Nature Conservancy, Intellecap, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Indian Society of Agroforestry, and IORA Ecological Solutions. The National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) and the Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS) are the Knowledge Partners in the Congress.
