The rise was phenomenal and the fall swift. The Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) finds itself grappling with a crisis of survival. Once known as a crusader against anti-corruption, AAP finds itself mired in various scams. The party drew unprecedented public support and reshaped Indias political landscape in a remarkably short span of time. The defection of seven MPs led by Raghav Chadha, along with reports of a significant number of legislators in Punjab planning to switch sides, indicates that the party may be on the verge of losing another stronghold after Delhi. These developments point to deepening internal fissures and waning political clout, raising serious concerns about the partys ability to retain its influence in Punjab. Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, Vikram Sahney, Rajinder Gupta, Ashok Mittal, and Swati Maliwal left AAP to join the BJP.AAP has a small presence in Goa with two MLAs and faces a high risk of poaching by other parties, according to party sources. The Party leaders took stock of defections by its MPs, there was a broad consensus within the that it is important at this juncture to keep the flock together, and ensure retention of the national party tag. The Election Commission conferred the AAP as a national party status after it met eligibility conditions by garnering at least six per cent of votes and winning seats in four states Delhi, Punjab, Goa, and Gujarat. Later, the party also bagged a seat in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. Questions are raised as to whether the AAP will save the Punjab government on borrowed time. With elections in Gujarat, Goa, and Punjab taking place next year, the party must rebuild, and expand its grassroot base . Arvind Kejriwal, once a relentless critic of the ruling party, has grown noticeably subdued following his defeat in the Assembly elections and his incarceration in the Delhi liquor case. Known for his aggressive political style, he was a forceful campaigner and a powerful orator who could galvanize public opinion and energize party workers with sharp, direct attacks on his opponents. His relative silence now marks a stark shift in the partys political momentum. At a time when strong leadership and vocal opposition are crucial, his absence from the frontlines has created a vacuum, affecting both the partys morale and its ability to mount an effective challenge. AAP not only displaced the Congress in Delhi and Punjab but also positioned itself as a potential challenger in states such as Haryana, Gujarat and Goa. Its rapid expansion signalled the emergence of a formidable alternative in the national politics However, the narrative took a dramatic turn with the eruption of the alleged liquor policy scam. What was once projected as a model of transparency became mired in controversy, raising serious questions about the partys governance and internal accountability. The scandal not only dented its carefully cultivated image but also provided political rivals with ammunition to challenge its credibility. key leaders came under scrutiny, the party started losing support base particularly among the middle class voters.

Ramban residents assert stake in Sawalkote project, form panel
A public meeting was held at Dak Bungalow in Ramban on Sunday, bringing together residents, youth, and civil society members to deliberate on concerns surrounding the Sawalkote Hydroelectric Project and to safeguard the districts rights and interests. The gathering witnessed strong sentiment against any reported move to shift or divert project-related benefits away from Ramban. Participants unanimously resolved to oppose any such proposal, asserting that the people of the district would not accept decisions undermining their legitimate stake in the project. Speakers emphasised that Ramban must remain central to all aspects of the project, particularly in terms of road connectivity and access. They stressed that any all-weather road link to the project should originate from Ramban, ensuring the district retains its primary stakeholder status.

The meeting outlined several key demands, including retaining the projects focus within Ramban district, ensuring road connectivity through Ramban, providing compensation strictly in accordance with the Fair Compensation Act, and prioritizing employment opportunities for local residents. The participants announced the formation of the Sawalkote Joint Action Committee (JAC) to coordinate efforts and represent the collective voice of the people. Fairoz Khan was unanimously elected as President, while Muzaffar Lone was appointed Legal Advisor of the committee. The JAC is expected to engage with authorities to ensure transparency, justice, and protection of local interests.

Juniper Green Energy Makes History as India's First FDRE Project Enters Commissioning Phase
India's energy transition reaches a defining milestone — Juniper's integrated 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS project enters commissioning phase across Rajasthan and Gujarat Juniper races ahead of all industry peers to become the FIRST RE developer to begin commissioning under the SJVN FDRE scheme, delivering firm, clean power to Haryana just as summer demand peaks Having already pioneered India's first merchant BESS in Bikaner, Juniper Green Energy Limited now achieves another landmark — beginning commissioning of India's first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project under Government of India’s Flagship FDRE Guidelines, marking yet another historic first for the Indian power sector. The integrated project combines 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS spanning Rajasthan and Gujarat, designed to deliver reliable, Firm and Dispatchable clean power aligned precisely to grid demand. Juniper Green Energy's FDRE power plant in Fatehgarh, Barmer, Rajasthan “This marks the start of India’s first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy project — a defining milestone in our vision to deliver firm and dispatchable renewable power. It reflects Juniper Green Energy’s strong execution capabilities, technological depth, and commitment to shaping the future of sustainable energy. By seamlessly integrating solar, wind, and battery storage at utility scale, we are not only demonstrating India’s clean energy potential but also setting new benchmarks for reliability and innovation in the sector. FDRE is not just a project type — it is our conviction about how India will power its future,” said Ankush Malik, CEO, Juniper Green Energy Limited. The FDRE Framework: Powering India's Grid on Demand As India's renewable energy capacity grew rapidly, grid stability became a pressing concern — solar stops generating at night and wind cannot be dispatched on demand. To bridge this gap, the Ministry of Power notified FDRE guidelines in June 2023, requiring developers to integrate solar, wind, and battery storage into a single project capable of delivering firm, scheduled power aligned precisely to Discom demand profiles. Unlike conventional renewables, FDRE is firm and dispatchable — making it, for the first time, a clean and reliable alternative to coal-based thermal generation Key Project Milestones The 259 MWp solar capacity commenced commercial operations in March 2026, while the 200 MWh BESS capacity began commercial operations in April 2026. Delivering Clean Power When Haryana Needs It Most As temperatures soar across North India in the summer months ahead, electricity demand in Haryana is expected to touch record highs. By commissioning its FDRE project ahead of schedule, Juniper Green Energy is directly addressing this critical need — delivering firm, renewable power that is both clean and dependable. The SJVN FDRE Tender Juniper Green Energy's FDRE project was awarded under a landmark tender floated by SJVN Limited under its SJVN FDRE Scheme, attracting India's leading renewable energy developers in a competitive reverse auction process. Juniper signed a 200 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SJVN, which has in turn executed a back-to-back Power Sale Agreement (PSA) with Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), ensuring firm, clean renewable power to the state of Haryana. Of all the developers who successfully bid under this tender, Juniper Green Energy is the FIRST to begin commissioning and supply power. FDRE: The Future of India’s Energy Transformation The transformative impact of FDRE on India's energy sector is multi-dimensional — enabling distribution companies to procure clean power that truly mirrors their demand patterns, while driving large-scale investment in battery storage and accelerating India's domestic storage ecosystem. Since the Ministry of Power issued FDRE guidelines in 2023, over 10 tenders aggregating more than 14 GW of FDRE capacity have been launched by central and state agencies including SJVN, NHPC, SECI and NTPC, with approximately 10 GW already under construction — representing one of the fastest-growing segments in India's utility-scale renewable energy market. For Juniper Green Energy, FDRE represents a core pillar of its long-term strategy. The company is at the forefront of India's transition to firm and dispatchable renewable energy, actively shaping the market through advanced integration of solar, wind, and energy storage, and by leading early execution under national FDRE programs. As new tender cycles emerge across central and state agencies, Juniper is well-positioned to continue leading from the front — developing and commissioning large-scale FDRE projects, delivering reliable clean power, and setting new benchmarks in execution, innovation, and grid-ready renewable solutions in India. About Juniper Green Energy Juniper Green Energy is an independent renewable energy power producer in India, focused on the development, construction and operations of utility-scale solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy projects. It is headquartered in Delhi NCR since October 2018; the company has grown its operational capacity to approximately 1.66 GWp (as of Jan 14 th , 2026).

UDIT now sustains an integrated academic framework that aligns design, and emerging technologies, underpinned by project-led coursework, studio-based practice and collaborative endeavours. The University is anchored in an interdisciplinary approach across its three schools offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across a diverse range of disciplines. The School of Design comprises the departments of Fashion, Visual Communication and Product & Interior Design. The School of Management includes the departments of Fashion Management and Technology Management. A unified approach to learning, where multiple ways of thinking converge to shape thoughtful, well-rounded creators. About UDIT The University of Design, Innovation and Technology (UDIT) marks a new direction for higher education in India. Established through an Act of the Haryana State Legislature, UDIT is conceived as a university for creators, built to respond to a world where design, technology and business increasingly operate together. UDIT marks the evolution of a decade of design excellence at the Indian Institute of Art and Design (IIAD), founded in 2015. IIAD has proved over the past decade that studio-based, hands-on education produces industry-ready graduates. UDIT extends this philosophy across three integrated schools: Design, Technology and Management. These are not separate schools sharing a campus. They are three dimensions of a single educational philosophy, with deliberately porous boundaries, shared studios and collaborative curricula designed to shape professionals who build an understanding between creative vision, technical execution and business strategy. UDIT’s Gurugram campus is by design made for collaboration and creation. With co-working hubs, dynamic exhibition spaces, an open-air amphitheatre, an expansive library, industry-grade labs and full-scale sports courts, the environment itself contributes to students’ learning. The studio is the core of a UDIT education. What truly sets UDIT apart is its inclination towards studio-based hands-on learning, with the curriculum being constantly tailored in sync with evolving industry trends. The School of Design brings together Visual Communication, Fashion, Product & Interior Design, with B.Des. and M.Des. degrees grounded in rigorous creative thinking and applied practice. The School of Management focuses on industries where creativity and commerce intersect, spanning fashion, luxury and technology, with BBA and MBA programmes designed to cultivate business leaders who can navigate both strategic and operational realities. Complementing this, the School of Technology offers B.Tech and M.Tech programmes that approach computer science, AI & Design and emerging technologies through a design-led lens, producing technologists who understand users, systems and product thinking in equal measure. A strong network of over 500 industry partnerships, developed through IIAD, continues to anchor UDIT’s engagement with practice. Collaborations with leading international universities, including Kingston University, Nottingham Trent University, University for the Creative Arts and Arts University Bournemouth, bring global perspectives into the academic experience. Bringing global standards to an education that is distinctly, purposefully India. UDIT represents a fundamental reimagination of higher education for the creative economy. Built on IIAD’s decade of design excellence, UDIT is India’s first university to fully integrate design, technology and management education around a creator-centred pedagogy.
