Karan Singh clinches fourth title of the year with ITF M25 Mumbai win
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 25 (IANS) India's Karan Singh continued his sensational run of form on the ITF circuit, lifting the singles title at the USD 30,000 ITF Mens World Tennis Tour M25 tournament at the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association in Cooperage on Sunday. Third-seeded Karan got the better of academy teammate Digvijay Pratap Singh in the final after Digvijay was forced to retire when Karan was leading 7-5, 3-1 in the second set. This is Karans fourth title of the 2026 season. The 23-year-old has been in top form in the past couple of months; the Mumbai victory represents his second title win and fourth final appearance in the last two months. Competing on the outdoor hard courts, both players went toe-to-toe in a fiercely contested opening set that lasted just over an hour, with Karan eventually breaking through to take the set 7-5. Carrying that momentum forward, Karan established a 3-1 advantage in the second set before Digvijay was unfortunately forced to retire after one hour and 32 minutes of play, officially handing Karan the championship trophy. Karan navigated the entire tournament draw in Mumbai without dropping a single set. He opened his campaign in the Round of 32 with a composed 6-4, 6-4 victory over Nitin Kumar Sinha. In the Round of 16, he put on a serving clinic, holding 10 of his 11 service games, to overcome qualifier Adil Kalyanpur 7-5, 6-3 in an hour and 38 minutes. After advancing past seventh seed Sidharth Rawat in the quarterfinals via retirement (3-4 ret.), Karan delivered a masterclass in the semifinals against Chirag Duhan. He maintained an impeccable 100 per cent hold rate on serve (winning 9 of 9 service games and 71.4 per cent of his service points) to cruise past Duhan 6-3, 6-2 in just an hour and 19 minutes to book his spot in the finals. On the other side of the draw, Digvijay, who captured the ITF M15 title in Baku earlier this month, also enjoyed a stellar week in Mumbai to ensure a 1-2 podium sweep for Roundglass Tennis Academy, notably knocking out second seed Garrett Johns 6-4, 6-2 in the semifinals.

Maharashtra Seeks Inspection Power Back From Food Safety Body FSSAI, Goes To Bombay High Court

Spirit of 'Vocal for Local' now taking our products to global markets: PM Modi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the spirit of 'Vocal for Local' is now taking Indian products to global markets, while reiterating the call to choose 'Swadeshi' during the ongoing festive season to further the resolve of an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'. Addressing the 139th episode of his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat', PM Modi said, During this festive season, you must have noticed a shift in your surroundings. People are now placing great importance on Swadeshi products while shopping. This spirit of 'Vocal for Local' is now taking our products to global markets. Giving examples, he mentioned how 'makhana' from Bihar's Purnia is now reaching Greece, and 'arhar dal' from Kalaburagi in Karnataka is being exported to the Maldives. New global markets are opening up for India's farmers, he added. While discussing local products, I would like to draw your attention to another important aspect: the packaging of a product is just as significant as its quality. Often, when we see an item in the market, it is its attractive packaging that draws us to pick it up. We want to know about a product just by looking at its packaging, the Prime Minister said, adding that there is now an increasing emphasis on packaging. In Maharashtra, PM Modi mentioned that tribal communities have placed a strong focus on the packaging of the products they create. Through an initiative called 'Shabari Naturals', he mentioned that products like honey, mahua, chironji and bamboo-based items are being brought to the market, reflecting ribal art. You will be pleased to know that this packaging has received Japan's prestigious 'Good Design Award'. Our youth are also experimenting anew in this field; a 'bamboo' start-up in Karnataka is creating packaging material from bamboo and agricultural residue, he said. Talking about the Khadi products, the Prime Minister said, This time on Gandhi Jayanti, sales of the products of Khadi Gram Udyog exceeded Rs 28 crore in a single day. It is an increase of Rs 1.5 crore over the previous year. This means that the popularity of Khadi continues to grow, and the benefits are reaching those whose skills and hard work bring items like Khadi and various handicrafts to life. Reiterating the call to adopt Swadeshi, PM Modi said, During the festive season, we often buy many things for our families and loved ones. This time too, do prioritise products made by local artisans when you shop; your purchases will boost their morale. This sense of affection will further strengthen the 'Vocal for Local' movement. As this movement gains momentum, the dream of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' will be realised all the faster. For that, I personally urge you to prioritise and highlight products crafted by local artisans, he added.
