Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association: When Aarti Pal began working with cricketers at the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), she was not trying to turn them into Yogasana athletes. Instead, she wanted to understand how yoga could help improve performance in a sport that demands explosive movement, technical precision, and mental resilience. What she discovered only reinforced a belief she has carried throughout her journey as an athlete, researcher, and educator: yoga belongs far beyond the confines of wellness centres and meditation halls. The inaugural World Yogasana Championship is set to be hosted at the EKA Arena in Ahmedabad from June 4 to 8. The historic event features over 500 elite athletes from more than 60 countries, showcasing Yogasana as a globally recognised competitive sport. For Aarti, India's first Yogasana athlete to receive the Arjuna Award, yoga is not simply a practice. It is a science, a sporting discipline, and, increasingly, a performance tool that can benefit athletes across every sport. Actually, I feel that yoga should become an essential part of every sport. Every sport requires certain fundamental skills that can be developed effectively through the practice of Yogasana and other yogic disciplines, Aarti told IANS in an exclusive conversation. Her conviction stems not only from years of academic research but also from hands-on work with athletes. While working with the cricketers of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), when Amay Khurasiya was serving as the chief coach, we had the opportunity to work closely with the players. Although there is already considerable research available on the subject, our own observations also highlighted several significant benefits of yoga for athletes, she said. One of the clearest improvements, according to Aarti, came in flexibility, a physical attribute often associated with yoga, but equally important in elite sport. One of the most noticeable improvements was in flexibility. Flexibility is a key component in Yogasana, but it is equally important in almost every sport. Through regular Yogasana practice, we observed a marked enhancement in the flexibility levels of the cricketers. She believes the benefits extend much further than mobility and movement. Another important area was injury prevention. For any athlete, staying injury-free is crucial for maintaining performance and consistency. While injury rehabilitation is undoubtedly important after an athlete gets injured, it is always better to focus on prevention whenever possible. Drawing on a principle familiar to both medicine and sport, Aarti added, As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. In this regard, Yogasana and other yoga practices proved to be highly beneficial in reducing the risk of injuries and improving overall physical preparedness. Yet the area she believes is most undervalued is the mental side of the game. Beyond the physical benefits, emotional stability and mental focus are equally important for sporting success. Every athlete faces pressure, expectations, and challenging situations during competition. Practices such as Pranayama and meditation help athletes remain emotionally balanced, mentally focused, and calm under pressure. These practices also contribute significantly to building mental resilience, which is often the difference between success and failure at the highest level of sport, she stated. For Aarti, these lessons from cricket reinforce a larger point. For these reasons, I believe yoga should not be limited to cricket alone. It can become an essential component of training across all sports. Integrating yoga into an athlete's routine can enhance physical fitness, improve mental well-being, and ultimately contribute to better sporting performance. In my view, yoga offers a holistic approach to athlete development and has the potential to positively impact performance in every sporting discipline, she mentioned. That holistic approach is central to Aartis own philosophy. A PhD holder in Yoga Science and former Assistant Professor of Yoga Science at the University of Patanjali, she approaches Yogasana through an interdisciplinary lens that combines sport, science, and lifestyle. As a doctorate in Yoga Science, I have not just studied Asanas. When we study Yoga Science, it involves many different subjects and follows an interdisciplinary approach. Along with Asanas, I have studied the complete philosophy of yoga, as well as its physiological and psychological dimensions. Yoga is a comprehensive science that encompasses a wide range of disciplines, she stated. Her academic background has shaped the way she coaches athletes. Beyond physical training, sports science, sports psychology, and nutrition all play a crucial role in an athlete's performance. These elements are deeply connected to Yogasana as well. When I coach athletes, I do not only train them in Asanas. I also guide them in Pranayama, meditation, dietary habits, and overall lifestyle management. For Aarti, excellence in sport begins with discipline away from competition. Success in any sport, including Yogasana, requires discipline. And discipline is not merely about sitting quietly in a classroom or following instructions. True discipline is reflected in the way you live your life. It is about what time you wake up, what time you sleep, what you eat, how much you eat, and how consistently you follow healthy habits. All these factors are extremely important, Aarti said. While her work with cricketers highlights yoga's sporting applications, Aarti also sees Yogasana itself undergoing a transformation. Once viewed primarily as a wellness practice, it is now attracting a younger generation eager to pursue it competitively. Yogasana, as a part of yoga, is not a new thing. Rather, I would say that it comes from our ancient science and ancient art, which is known as yoga. If we talk about yoga, it is actually a complete tree, and Yogasana is one of its branches. She believes formal recognition has played a major role in changing perceptions. After Yogasana received a formal structure and recognition from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and the Ministry of Ayush in 2020, it was recognised as a priority sport. Since then, Yogasana has covered a remarkable journey. Our Prime Minister, through International Yoga Day in 2015, gave yoga recognition as a global subject. But if we look at the audience of yoga, it is often limited to people who are either suffering from diseases or senior citizens. Yogasana, however, is something that has become a point of attraction for youngsters and youth. The historic Arjuna Award recognition, she says, has accelerated that shift. This nomination has once again increased the attraction of youngsters towards the sport. As competitive Yogasana evolves, Aarti believes aspiring athletes must embrace a new mindset. Actually, most people look at yoga primarily as a practice for wellness. So, first of all, I would like to clarify that Yogasana is a part of yoga, and in Yogasana sport, we have adopted Yogasana in a competitive sporting format. Therefore, it is important to understand that when we practise Yogasana as a sport, we need to follow a structured curriculum and a different approach to training, she added. As competitive Yogasana evolves, Aarti believes aspiring athletes must embrace a new mindset. Actually, most people look at yoga primarily as a practice for wellness. So, first of all, I would like to clarify that Yogasana is a part of yoga, and in Yogasana sport, we have adopted Yogasana in a competitive sporting format. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That mindset, she believes, will help Yogasana continue to expand its footprint, not only as a competitive sport but also as a tool capable of shaping stronger, healthier, and more resilient athletes across disciplines. And if her experience with cricketers is any indication, the sport's impact may already be extending well beyond the yoga mat. Article Source: IANS

Shikshagraha Awards exist to change that, and the evidence shows it is working. Nominations for the 3rd Shikshagraha Awards, instituted by SFPI, are open until July 31, 2026 Shikshagraha, the people-led movement to improve public schools across India, has announced that nominations for the 3rd edition of the Shikshagraha Awards, instituted by The Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives, are now open until July 31, 2026. The awards recognise educators, community leaders, and grassroots changemakers who are reshaping public education from the inside out. “ India's public education system is the single greatest lever we have for an equal society. For too long, the educators doing extraordinary work in the most difficult conditions have gone unrecognised. When we celebrate these leaders, we inspire a thousand more to step forward ,” SD Shibulal, Co-founder, Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiative . Now in its third year, the awards have already proved that recognition is not symbolic; it is a catalyst. Past winners have used the financial support, credibility, and network that come with the award to scale their work in measurable ways. In Bihar, Kumari Guddi expanded her work beyond her school to create a community helpdesk, a scholarship fund, and a supply store for girls in neighbouring communities, now supporting 50 to 100 children across multiple schools. In Andhra Pradesh, Nellore Subhrahmanyam used the award to fulfil a two-decade-old dream: a mobile science bus that has now reached nearly 50 rural schools, up from 20. His work was featured in the March 2026 edition of Samagra Shiksha, and a documentary team from Pune is set to film his journey. In Madhya Pradesh, Muskan Ahirwar grew her community library Kitaabi Masti from 2,000 to 3,500 books and watched children begin showing up on their own, without being pushed. In Meghalaya, Batskhem Thabah saw media coverage of his award inspire teachers across the state to come forward with their own ideas. “ For nearly 20 years, I spent much of my own salary on this work. The award reassured my family and my community that this work was meaningful ,” Nellore Subhrahmanyam, Shikshagraha Award Winner, Andhra Pradesh . When we recognise these leaders, we are saying clearly that every child who walks out of a government school must walk out ready — with the foundations to learn, the confidence to lead, and the skills to navigate a world being reshaped by technology and climate ," Khushboo Awasthi, Co-Weaver of the Shikshagraha movement & Co-Founder of ShikshaLokam . Winners of the Shikshagraha Award receive financial support, national media coverage, access to a network of changemakers and civil society organisations, and the institutional credibility that opens doors to government departments, NGOs, and funders. The 2027 awards will be presented at InvokED, an annual global dialogue on education leadership where experts, educators, and changemakers come together to shape the movement towards education equity. The next InvokED is scheduled for February 26 & 27, 2027. Nominations are open to educators, school leaders, community volunteers, and anyone driving meaningful change within India's public education system, across all geographies, disciplines, and types of work. shikshagraha.org/awards . About Shikshagraha Shikshagraha is a people-powered movement to improve all 1 million public schools in India, so that every child experiences enriching learning and is ready for the future. Real change begins with the child at the centre — their learning, confidence, well-being, and aspirations, and with those closest to the child. The movement enables parents, women and youth to demand and support quality education, and equips teachers, school leaders, and officials with tools for micro-improvements towards systemic change. Currently, 35+ civil society, industry and philanthropic partners in the Shikshagraha network are collectively strengthening 1,17,000+ schools across 33 districts across 14 states & UTs. This includes enabling education leaders to lead need-based school improvements and amplifying women, youth and community participation in the public education system. Shikshagraha works towards improving schools where the need is greatest, supports leadership on the ground, and shifts the norms that hold education back. Through visible practice change and collective action by communities, governments, civil society, and markets, it reimagines what public schools can and must deliver. shikshagraha.org for more details.

New Report Warns of Immediate Climate Risks Across India's 11,000 km Coastline
Indian Coastal Region: Climate Projections 2021–2040’ report released by Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. Santonu Goswami, Professor, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru Focusing on near-term projections (2021-2040) the study provides actionable insights for policymakers and local communities, using CMIP6* model projections corrected for regional bias to improve accuracy. The report warns that the window for adaptation is rapidly narrowing as the 1.5°C warming threshold is expected to be reached across India’s administrative regions in the near future. “Climate change is not some distant future challenge—it is the reality of today. 2040 is just 14 years away,” said Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation . “This dataset brings to life the impacts of climate change with much greater immediacy, highlighting how we must restructure our infrastructure and governance to ensure we collectively address this crisis.” The report traces how specific changes—from rising wet-bulb temperatures in Kerala to intensifying monsoons in Maharashtra—are already rendering traditional knowledge systems, like the Nakaih wind calendar, unreliable. It aims to provide the foundational data necessary for local authorities to build district-level resilience. “The data in this report is a mirror that reflects a reality we can no longer afford to ignore. For decades, we treated climate change as a global abstraction — a problem of polar ice caps and distant centuries. But our findings show that for the Indian coastline, the crisis is hyper-local and immediate. Whether it is the heat stress in Ernakulam or the rising salinity in the Sundarbans, our vulnerability is visible in all aspects of our daily lives. We have a short window of time to move from reactive mitigation to proactive adaptation — we need to craft a future that acknowledges the ecological challenges faced by our nation,” said Harini Nagendra, Director, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University. Maharashtra and Gujarat’s coastal regions are entering a period of significant environmental transition, with Suburban Mumbai projected to see summer maximum temperatures rise by 1.3°C, highlighting the growing need for heat-resilient urban planning. This warming is accompanied by a marked intensification of seasonal rainfall; Suburban Mumbai is expected to face almost an additional week (+6 days) of heavy rain, while districts like Surat and Bhavnagar are preparing for Southwest monsoon surges of 23% and 24%, respectively. These shifts are already impacting local livelihoods: for instance, the Koli community in Mumbai reports business losses when unpredictable rain spells disrupt the traditional drying of prawns. By focusing on the immediate 2040 window, the report provides the granular data necessary for the West Coast to safeguard its infrastructure and unique coastal heritage. Key Findings Rising Temperatures: India’s average temperatures are projected to increase by 1.5°C, with approximately 40 coastal districts likely to see summer temperatures rise by over 1°C. Dangerous "Wet-Bulb" Heat: Coastal Kerala and Tamil Nadu will experience high summer wet-bulb temperatures, nearing the 31°C- levels considered dangerous for humans. Ernakulam Heat Spike: Ernakulam is projected to record the highest increase in maximum summer temperatures projected at +1.3°C among all coastal districts. Intensified West Coast Monsoons: Coastal Maharashtra and Gujarat will receive significantly higher rainfall with suburban Mumbai likely to experience nearly an additional week of heavy rain. Surat’s Monsoon Surge: Surat is projected to see a substantial 23% increase in Southwest Monsoon compared to historical levels. Sea-Level Rise and Erosion: Under moderate emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5)**, global sea levels are projected to rise by 15 cm by 2050, accelerating coastal erosion and creating "ghost villages" in regions like Ganjam, Odisha. Cyclone Risk: Rapid acceleration in sea surface temperatures (0.27°C per decade) is increasing the likelihood of intense tropical cyclones. Impact on Traditional Livelihoods: In Goa, unseasonal rains are destroying entire salt harvests within hours, while warming seas are pushing fish further offshore, leading to "empty nets" for small-scale fishermen. Health and Salinity: In the Sundarbans, rising salinity from frequent embankment breaches is linked to increased skin diseases and menstrual health challenges among women.

43 tonnes of cherries from Kashmir transported through SLR, parcel vans
Around 43 tonnes of fresh luscious cherries of Kashmir have been transported to major markets across the country through special VPs (parcel vans) and the SLR (Seating cum Luggage Rake) coach facility from the Jammu Railway Division till date during the current season. According to railway officials, so far cherry consignments have been sent as railway parcels through SLR and parcel vans in train numbers 12472, 12474, 12476, 12920, 19028 to major stations, including Surat (Gujarat), Bandra (Maharashtra), Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh, Chhayapuri- Vadodara (Gujarat) etc. Senior Divisional Commercial Manager (DCM), Jammu Railway Division, Uchit Singhal stated that the dispatch of 43 tonnes of cherries through SLR and VP was proof of the growing trust of J&K fruit growers and traders in rail services. Indian Railways is committed to providing efficient and economical logistics solutions to the farming community. Our teams are ensuring priority loading, safe handling, and timely delivery so that perishable produce reaches consumers fresh. Similar facilities will continue for apples and other fruits as well, he shared. Singhal said that Indian Railways was once again proving to be a fast and reliable mode of transport for fruit growers and traders of Jammu and Kashmir. He pointed out that cherries were reaching destinations in less time through rail service without loss of quality, enabling farmers to get better prices. Delineating key features of the service being provided by the Jammu Railway Division, Raghvender Singh, Public Relations Inspector, Jammu Railway Division said, With SLR and VP facilities, all traders, small or big, are able to book cherries as per their demand. Growers of the Jammu region are now bypassing the uncertainties of road transport and sending their produce directly to major mandis (markets). Utilisation of parcel space in passenger trains, Singh said, was generating additional revenue for Railways besides boosting the marketing of agricultural produce. The railway administration has appealed to all stakeholders to make maximum use of the rail parcel service and cooperate in taking the premium fruits of Jammu and Kashmir to markets across the nation. On May 25, 2026, the seasons first special parcel van, carrying Kashmir valleys luscious cherries weighing around 12 tonnes, departed for Mumbai from Jammu Railway Station. Prior to that, 18 tonnes of cherries were already sent to Mumbai. Till May 25, 2026, 28 VP indents were already received from Jammu and Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Railway stations for cherry transportation. According to Singhal, apart from 28 special VPs (parcel vans), the SLR (Seating cum Luggage Rake) coach facility available in regular trains on the route will also continue. Small and medium traders will also be able to send their low-volume consignments safely and affordably, he said.

In a key development in the probe into Twisha Sharmas death, the CBI arrived at her mother-in-law Giribala Singhs house in Bhopal today. An accused in the alleged dowry harassment and death case, she is likely to be arrested. The development comes after the Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected the anticipatory bail granted to her, upon a thorough review of the case's factual details and the serious allegations levelled against the former judge and Twishas mother-in-law. A sessions court had granted her anticipatory bail on May 15. Twishas husband Samarth Singh, a lawyer, is currently in the custody of the CBI, which took over the probe into the case from the MP police on Monday. The vacation judge, Devnarayan Mishra, in a detailed 17-page order, stated that considering the factual aspects of the case and the allegations levelled against the respondent (Giribala Singh), the anticipatory bail previously granted by the additional sessions judge is hereby quashed. Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta, representing the CBI, argued that the manner in which anticipatory bail was obtained raised concerns. He suggested that the trial court might not have adequately considered all relevant factors when granting the bail, as indicated in the court's order. Twisha was reportedly found hanging at her marital residence on May 12. The CBI has re-registered the FIR filed by the state police, with Samarth and Giribala listed as accused. According to Twisha's legal team, her in-laws allegedly prevented her from living peacefully or expressing her grief, leaving her in a difficult situation. The counsels informed the High Court that after securing anticipatory bail, Giribala held a press conference on May 18, where she allegedly attempted to damage Twishas reputation by making several accusations. They also accused Giribala of using her influence to tamper with the crime scene, arguing that the trial court should have carefully examined the evidence presented before granting bail. The police had recovered CCTV footage from her residence on May 13 as part of the probe. However, it was alleged that she possessed footage of the incident and selectively leaked a short clip on social media, with the intent to manipulate evidence. The prosecuting agency brought this to the High Court's attention. As detailed in the High Court's order, Twisha's legal representatives highlighted WhatsApp chats, submitted as part of the petitions and to the police, which indicated that she had informed her family that her husband and his relatives believed she was addicted to drugs, which caused her constant distress. Suyash Mohan Guru, Deputy Solicitor General of India for the CBI, and Advocate General Prashant Singh submitted that Twisha and Samarth were married on December 19, 2025, and that dowry and gifts were provided by Twisha's father. A dispute reportedly arose among family members on April 17 after Twisha's pregnancy was discovered. This led to her leaving her matrimonial home and returning to Noida. The CBI counsel informed the court that Twisha's husband and mother-in-law allegedly doubted her character upon learning of her pregnancy and pressured her to undergo an abortion. The court was further informed that on May 5, Twisha asked her mother to take her away from her marital home. On May 12, Twisha communicated with her mother via WhatsApp, reporting that her husband was shouting at her, after which the call was disconnected. Later that evening, at 10:37 pm, her mother-in-law answered a call from Twisha's parents. Twisha was found hanging at her matrimonial home later that day and was declared dead.

who-is-v-mohana-the-senior-advocate-recommended-as-a-supreme-court-judge
In a significant move to fill vacancies, the Supreme Court Collegium on Wednesday recommended the appointment of senior advocate V. Mohana to the rank of a judge at the apex court. If appointed, the senior advocate will become the second woman from Tamil Nadu to reach the post after Justice R. Banumathi, and the second from the Bar after Justice Indu Malhotra. Other judges who were recommended for the same post includeJustice Sheel Nagu, Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court; Justice Shree Chandrashekhar, Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court; Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court; and Justice Arun Palli, Chief Justice of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court. Designated as a senior advocate in the Supreme Court in April 2015, Mohana has worked with prolific faces in the legal and political community, such as Kapil Sibal, K.K. Venugopal, P. Chidambaram, Arun Jaitley, and T. Andhyarujina, among others, and was also a panel lawyer for the Government of India. The path to the Supreme Court V. Mohana, who studied law at the Coimbatore Law College, graduated in 1988 from what was India's first-ever batch of the five-year integrated law course, introduced in 1983. After graduation, she continued an internshipthat she had begun during her college educationin the office ofM. Panchapakesan, working in Tamil Nadu's trial courts till 1992, when she decided to move to Delhi to work under Justice Indu Malhotra, who was then an advocate-on-record. It was difficult for women in those days to get cases of their own, especially in small cities ...Delhi provides lots of opportunities, definitely better than any other city. Because you have trial courts, high court, administrative tribunal, MRTP commission (now Competition Commission, Competition Appellate Tribunal), CESTAT, Army Tribunal, etc. and of course the Honble Supreme Court of India. So there is a varied practice and scope for every field, she recounted in a 2015 interview with Superlawyer . She then moved to the chambers of Senior Advocate C.S. Vaidyanathan, where she worked in several cases widely reported between 1992 and 1996, such as the Amratlal Prajivandas case, McDowell case, and the Jain commission case after the death of Rajiv Gandhi. Over the years, V. Mohana moved up the ladder, earning her a role in theNational Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission back when it was newly formed, as well as additional roles as a Supreme Court mediator and an honorary editor for the Supreme Court Reports (SCR) before the SCR got its own editors. Most importantly, she was a panel lawyer for the apex court's legal services committee, working in a lot of cases between 1996 and 2013, before she was elevated to her present position on April 23, 2015. People have started recognising women lawyers and their good work. But there should be more designations and elevations from the womens section. Women should also work harder and continue to work with sincerity and dedication, she added in the interview.
