Thirty students fall ill after educational trip in Jharkhand's Khunti
Digital Desk | Khunti (Jharkhand), Oct 5 (IANS) At least 30 students of PM Shri High School, Tilmi, in Jharkhand's Khunti district have fallen ill after they returned from an educational trip. Several students reported vomiting, diarrhoea, high fever, and stomach pain, officials said on Monday. The students from Karra block began developing symptoms on Sunday evening, with several more cases reported by Monday morning. A number of students were admitted to the Karra Community Health Centre for treatment. According to the health department, the illness may be linked to an educational trip undertaken by the students on October 3. The school had taken the students to a gurukul at Dodma and Rani Falls in the Torpa block. During the trip, the students reportedly prepared food. Health officials have also received information that some students consumed food purchased from roadside stalls operating near the picnic site. However, officials have not yet established whether contaminated food was responsible for the illness or whether the students developed the symptoms because of an infection. The health department has initiated an investigation to determine the cause. The highest number of affected students is reportedly from Tilmi village. Some children from nearby Masko and Barwadag villages have also reported illness, according to officials. Following the reports, the health department has increased surveillance in the affected villages to identify any additional cases and monitor the health of residents. On the directions of Civil Surgeon Dr Lalit Ranjan Pathak, medical teams were sent to Tilmi, Masko and Barwadag villages. Health workers are conducting door-to-door visits to assess the health of children and other residents and identify suspected cases. The teams are also providing medicines to those requiring treatment, while officials are monitoring the situation for any further spread of illness. At the Karra Community Health Centre, doctors are keeping a close watch on the students admitted there. Their condition is currently reported to be stable, officials said. The district hospital has also been placed on alert as a precautionary measure. Officials said that if the condition of any affected child deteriorates, arrangements have been made to shift the child to the district hospital for further treatment. Health authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the illness. No official confirmation has so far been given that contaminated food was the cause, and further medical and epidemiological assessment is expected to establish the reason behind the symptoms. The incident has prompted increased health surveillance in the villages from which the affected students come, while medical teams continue to monitor the children and look for any additional suspected cases.

AdiVaani: Technology for the Margins
India is home to over 700 tribal communities and more than 100 distinct tribal languages and dialects yet only a handful have a script, a dictionary or any presence online. For a Gondi speaking farmer trying to read a government health advisory or a Santhali student searching for a word in a textbook, the digital world has, until now, simply not spoken their language. AdiVaani is changing that through one sentence, one recording, one translated page at a time. AdiVaani is an AI based translation and language technology platform being developed under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) by IIT Delhi. Its mission is deceptively simple: build tools that let English and Hindi speak to tribal languages and let tribal languages speak back in text and in voice and vice versa. AdiVaani has gone live with four languages Santali, Mundari, Bhili and Gondi with Kui and Garo close behind, and a further eight languages, including Katkari, Koya, Kokborok, Betta Kuruba, Chodri, Thadou Kuki and Tangkhul, lined up for the next phase. A Full Toolkit, Not Just a Translator AdiVaani brings together a full toolkit under one roof, not merely a translator. It offers Text-to-Text Translation, converting English or Hindi text into a tribal language and back again, instantly; Speech-to-Text (ASR), which turns spoken tribal language into text and offers a lifeline for languages with few or no fluent readers; Text-to-Speech, which generates natural spoken tribal-language audio from written text so that non-literate speakers can access information aurally; and Speech-to-Speech, a cascaded pipeline that lets two people speaking different languages understand each other in near real time. The platform also carries an Optical Character Recognition feature that digitises old textbooks, folk manuscripts, primers and dictionaries existing only on paper, often the last surviving record of a dialect, alongside a public mobile App and Web Access portal carrying dictionaries, learning modules and feedback tools for continuous improvement. Bringing the Periphery to the Centre For decades, India's tribal languages have existed at the edge of the country's digital and administrative life rich in oral history, ecological knowledge and cultural memory, yet almost invisible to the internet, to AI systems and often to policy itself. AdiVaani inverts that equation. A welfare scheme notification, a health advisory or an NCERT textbook chapter that once existed only in Hindi or English can now be rendered accurately and respectfully into Santali or Bhili and read aloud to someone who cannot read at all. Government officials, teachers, and health workers can, in turn, understand what a tribal citizen is trying to communicate in their own words. The traffic runs both ways and that is the point: AdiVaani is not simply giving tribal communities access to the mainstream; it is giving the mainstream access to tribal India. The project treats tribal languages not as data sources for AI but as living knowledge systems connected to oral tradition, agriculture, ecology and community identity. Not Just for Tribal India- A Platform for Everyone AdiVaani's promise extends well beyond tribal households. Researchers and linguists gain a reproducible, benchmarked dataset for some of the world's most under documented languages. Civil servants, doctors, teachers and NGO field workers posted in tribal districts most of whom are not themselves tribal get a real time translation companion that turns awkward, error prone communication into genuine dialogue. Students of linguistics and anthropology gain digitised manuscripts and oral archives that would otherwise decay unseen in local libraries. And every Indian, tribal or not inherits a small but meaningful correction to the digital record: languages that were at risk of existing only in memory now have a searchable, speakable, teachable home online. This is what makes AdiVaani more than a translation app, it is public infrastructure for inclusion, built the way inclusion should be built: with the community at the centre, not at the receiving end. Community First, Technology Second AdiVaani's most distinctive feature may not be its models at all but its method. Native speakers, translators, field linguists and community elders are treated as knowledge partners not just annotators. Every dataset passes through a maker checker superchecker workflow, where community validators catch the subtle ways AI tends to flatten a minority language toward Hindi or English,a dropped suffix, an over normalised idiom, a lost oral register. Machine generated translations are never treated as final: they return to native speakers for correction before they re-enter the corpus. It is AI development grounded in consent, cultural respect and the recognition that a language is not a dataset it is a way a people remembers itself. This is where the State Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs) become indispensable. Long before a sentence reaches an AI model, it is the TRIs in Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and elsewhere that anchor the entire corpus-building effort on the ground mobilising native speakers, verifying dialectal variations across villages and blocks, and vetting every translated or transcribed sample before it is accepted into the training data. Their field knowledge decides which recordings are authentic and which idioms have been flattened in translation, making them the frontline check between raw community language and a usable digital corpus. Without this continuous, on-the-ground vetting by the TRIs, the models AdiVaani builds would carry the very distortions the project was set up to avoid. Looking Ahead AdiVaani's work is far from finished. Over the next nine months, it plans to add ten more languages improve its speech recognition and voice technology, and build much larger collections of verified recordings reaching hundreds of thousands per language. But beyond the numbers, AdiVaani stands for something bigger: proof that technology can protect and support tribal languages instead of erasing them. In a country where languages are vanishing every few years, AdiVaani gives tribal communities a way to be heard in their own voices, on their own terms and gives the rest of India a reason finally to listen.

BJYM's 'Seva Sankalp Yatra' enters Madhya Pradesh after 18 days of seva
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM)'s 'Seva Sankalp Yatra' entered Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, after traversing through various states and also marking completion of 18 days of 'seva' (public service). The Seva Sankalp Yatra, steered by the BJYM -- the youth wing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -- is being organised across the country through awareness drives and bike rallies, to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's twenty-five years of 'seva'. Inspired by PM Modi's 'seva' for more than two decades, the Yatra seeks to transform the idea of Seva into a people-led movement, taking the message of service, responsibility and nation-building to communities across the country. According to BJYM, the Yatra progressed across 20 routes in six states today -- one in Madhya Pradesh, seven in Rajasthan, one in Chhattisgarh, six in Uttar Pradesh, two in Jharkhand and three in Gujarat, hoping to build greater public participation. Speaking about the Yatra's mission, the BJYM National President Hemang Joshi said, The energy of our Seva Yatris is growing with every passing day. Eighteen days into this journey, their enthusiasm remains as strong as it was on Day One, because they are not merely travelling a route, they are carrying forward the vision of Seva that has defined PM Narendra Modi Ji's public life. The smiles, participation and affection we are receiving from people at every halt are giving our young Seva Yatris even greater inspiration to serve and contribute towards a Viksit Bharat. The Seva Sankalp Yatra reflects the journey of PM Modi from Vadnagar to national stage, with Vadnagar representing the values, struggles and early influences that shaped his life and Varanasi representing a major chapter of his public service. At every halt, Seva Yatris are turning their commitment into meaningful action through cleanliness drives, tree plantation, water conservation, Gau Seva, service to senior citizens, Jan Samwad and community-oriented activities, the BYJM said in a statement. As the Seva Sankalp Yatra moves forward, the growing enthusiasm of Seva Yatris and the increasing participation of people along the routes are giving renewed strength to its central message the journey of Seva continues, the Sankalp grows stronger, and the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' moves forward with every step, it said.

Jharkhand Police raid hotels, bars in Ranchi over alleged irregularities; 14 detained
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 4 (IANS) Police conducted simultaneous raids at several hotels and bars in Jharkhand capital Ranchi following complaints of alleged immoral activities and rampant violation of rules by bar and hotel operators. During the late Saturday night action at a hotel near Kachahari Chowk under the Kotwali police station area, police detained eight men and six women. Police suspect that some of those detained may have links to an alleged sex racket. The hotel management, employees and the detained men and women are being questioned as part of the investigation. According to police officials, the operation was conducted on the directions of Senior Superintendent of Police Rakesh Ranjan. Separate police teams led by City SP Paras Rana and Rural SP Gaurav Goswami carried out simultaneous inspections at several prominent hotels and bars across the city. Police said the main objective of the operation was to verify complaints regarding alleged violations of rules by hotel and bar operators. The complaints included operating without valid licences, keeping bars open beyond the permitted operating hours, serving hookah and allegedly providing alcohol to minors. During the inspections, police teams checked licences, documents related to the operation of the establishments and papers concerning security arrangements. Police claimed that at some establishments, operations were found to be continuing beyond the prescribed hours. The teams also reportedly found instances where alcohol and hookah were being served.
