Union cabinet approves schemes, road project worth over Rs 10,000 crore
NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet on Friday approved a series of schemes and projects, including a Rs 4,200 crore allocation to state governments for the Multidisciplinary Education and Research Improvement in Technical Education (MERITE) Scheme, a Rs 4,250 crore special development package for Assam and Tripura, and a Rs 2,157 crore four-lane National Highway project connecting a 46 km stretch between Marakkanam and Puducherry on the Chennai-Nagapattinam NH 332A. Briefing the media after the Union Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Information & Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the approval of the MERITE scheme, aimed at enhancing the quality, equity, and governance in technical education across all states and Union territories. The scheme aligns with the National Education Policy-2020 (NEP-2020) and focuses on improving technical education standards. Vaishnaw stated that the scheme will benefit 175 state engineering colleges and 100 polytechnics, providing funds to states and UTs to support approximately 7.5 lakh students. The initiative aims to enhance employability skills, boost placement rates, reduce unemployment, and strengthen research and innovation ecosystems. It is also expected to improve quality assurance and governance mechanisms in technical education. In another decision, the Union Cabinet approved a Rs 4,250 crore Central Sector Scheme of Special Development Packages (SDPs) for Assam and Tripura to consolidate peace and accelerate development in targeted regions. This follows historic peace accords signed in recent years with key ethnic and insurgent groups, including the Adivasi groups (2022), Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA)/Dimasa Peoples Supreme Council (DPSC) (2023), United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) factions (2023), and National Liberation Front of Twipra (NLFT)/All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) (2024). Key allocations under the package include Rs 500 crore for Adivasi-inhabited areas in Assam, Rs 500 crore for the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC) region targeting Dimasa communities, Rs 3,000 crore for ULFA-affected areas across Assam, and Rs 250 crore for tribal development in Tripura. The total package is worth Rs 7,250 crore, with the remaining Rs 3,000 crore to be contributed by the Assam government. The Assam components will be implemented over five years (20252030), while the Tripura component will span four years (20252029). CCEA approves Rs 2,157 crore four-lane highway project in Tamil Nadu Meanwhile, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the construction of a 46 km four-lane stretch between Marakkanam and Puducherry on National Highway 332A in Tamil Nadu, connecting Chennai with Nagapattinam, at a cost of Rs 2,157 crore. Vaishnaw said the project will be developed on the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) with a concession period of 17 years, including a two-year construction phase. Out of the total length of 46 km, 11 km of the existing two-lane stretch will be upgraded to four lanes, while 35 km will be built as a Greenfield project, he said. Currently, travel between Chennai, Puducherry, Viluppuram, and Nagapattinam relies on the congested two-lane NH-332A and adjoining state highways. The upgrade is expected to ease bottlenecks, improve road safety, and support the mobility needs of rapidly growing urban and economic hubs along the East Coast. The project is also projected to generate nearly 8 lakh man-days of direct employment and 10 lakh man-days of indirect employment during construction.

Poshan Tracker data shows persistent malnutrition among children; central, eastern states worst hit
MANGALURU: As of June 2025, 5.46% of children under five in India were found to be wasted (low weight for height), and 15.93% were underweight (low weight for age), according to the latest Poshan Tracker data. Among children aged 06 years, 16.50% were recorded as underweight, indicating that malnutrition continues to pose a significant public health challenge across the country. The figures expose stark disparities among states. Bihar reported 20.98% underweight and 9.31% wasting rates, among the highest in India, followed closely by Madhya Pradesh (24.82% underweight, 8.19% wasting) and Jharkhand (19.13% underweight, 6.68% wasting). Other high-burden states include Tripura, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh, with underweight prevalence ranging from 17% to nearly 20%. In the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, wasting reached 11.62%the highest in the countrywhile 22.54% of children there were underweight. Despite a national push to improve nutrition through Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0, the data reveals uneven outcomes. Many states, particularly in central and eastern India, continue to grapple with persistently high malnutrition rates. However, there are clear examples of improvement and effective intervention. Some states have managed to keep both wasting and underweight figures impressively low. Goa reported only 0.78% wasting and 1.96% underweight children. Sikkim (1.95% wasting, 1.69% underweight), Manipur (0.67%, 2.69%), and Himachal Pradesh (2.41%, 6.88%) also performed strongly. Southern states showed moderate success, though with some variations. Tamil Nadu emerged as a top performer in the region, with 3.54% wasting and 6.29% underweight, well below national averages. Kerala reported similarly low wasting (3.20%) but had a higher proportion of underweight children (10.18%). Karnatakas data showed 3.18% wasting, but a relatively high 16.50% underweight. Andhra Pradesh reported 4.97% wasting and 7.68% underweight, while Telangana lagged slightly behind, with 5.93% wasting and 17.00% underweight. These figures suggest that while southern states have managed to contain acute malnutrition to an extent, chronic undernutrition remains a concern, particularly in Karnataka and Telangana. According to data presented in the Lok Sabha, the government's nutrition monitoring system has evolved significantly with the implementation of the Poshan Tracker, launched in March 2021. The tool captures real-time data on growth metrics, daily attendance at Anganwadi centres, and distribution of supplementary nutrition. The integration of facial recognition for Take-Home Ration (THR) distribution and the introduction of dashboard analytics have further improved targeting and transparency. Compared to NFHS-5 (201921), which reported 32.1% underweight and 19.3% wasting among children under five, the current data reflects progress. However, the gap between the projected population of children under six (16.1 crore) and those enrolled in Anganwadi services (8.61 crore) signals the need for expanded coverage and deeper outreach.

Attack during Modis Mann Ki Baat programme in Tripura leaves seven BJP workers injured
GUWAHATI: Prime Minister Narendra Modis Mann Ki Baat programme at a Tripura village turned violent on Sunday, when an alleged group of Tipra Motha Party (TMP) goons attacked BJP workers, leaving at least seven of them injured. TMP denied its involvement. TMP and BJP are allies and constituents of the state government. The incident occurred at the Taksapara village falling under the Asharambari Assembly constituency in Khowai district. Around 30 BJP workers had assembled at the place to listen to Modi. The injured were admitted to the Khowai district hospital. The condition of two was reportedly critical. About 15 bikes and two cars were also damaged by the attackers. Authorities deployed a large number of security personnel to the place after the incident. No arrest was made when reports last came in. About 15 bikes and two cars were also damaged by the attackers. BJP mandal president Jayanta Debbarma alleged the attack was perpetrated by over 50 TMP goons.Everything was going on peacefully when suddenly over 50 TMP goons, who were armed with machetes, rods, and other weapons, carried out the attack, disrupting the programme, he alleged. BJP state general secretary Bipin Debbarma said the attack had left seven workers of the party injured. We condemn this attack, he said. BJPs Tripura chief spokesperson Subrata Chakraborty insisted on a fair investigation into the incident so that the culprits could be brought to book. The injured were admitted to the Khowai district hospital. The condition of two was reportedly critical. It is only after the culprits are arrested that we will know why they carried out this attack. We suspect that it was part of a design to disturb the prevailing peaceful atmosphere in the state, Chakraborty told TNIE . TMP founder Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma slammed the BJP mandal president for implicating TMP to the incident. They (assailants) were CPM workers. The BJP mandal president, who was with the CPM till recently, levelled the allegation against TMP to create mischief, Pradyot said. All parties should screen individuals who are former CPM cadres before giving posts to them. The real issue today is illegal migrants coming in from Bangladesh. There is a larger security concern but they want to talk about BJP and TMP, he further stated.

KOLKATA: Beginning his speech with Jai Maa Kali, and Jai Maa Durga chants in a bid to connect with the Bengali psyche, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that BJP is the only party that truly respects and protects Bengali 'ashmita' (pride). Highlighting the BJP's plans towards the development of West Bengal, he urged the people of the state to dislodge the ruling Trinamool Congress government alleging it to be corrupt and non-performing. Bikoshito Bangla Modir Guarantee (Developed Bengal is Modis Guarantee), the prime minister said as he unveiled a slew of developmental projects for the state worth around Rs 5,400 crore. Addressing a public rally at Durgapur, PM Modi launched a scathing attack at the TMC government, calling it a barrier to the development of the state. When this barrier falls down, Bengal will rapidly progress on the path of development. Bengal will play a very important role in our goal to achieve Vikshit Bharat, Modi said. West Bengal will play an important role in making a developed India. For this reason, today the BJP is seeking your blessings. BJP has come to power in Assam after a long time. Today Assam is progressing at a great pace. The BJP government has also done a great job in Tripura. The BJP has formed a government in Odisha. You will see that development will be very fast in Odisha too, he said. So, give BJP a chance for once. Those who are honest, efficient and courageous. Developed Bengal is Modi's guarantee. Developed Bengal is BJP's resolve, Modi stressed. Stating that Bengal used to be the centre of India's development and an employment hub, he said, But now the picture has changed. Today, the youth are leaving West Bengal. Even for small jobs, they have to go to other states. Bengal wants change, wants developmentI am telling you that it is possible to change the situation in Bengal. After the BJP government comes here, West Bengal will become one of the most industrialized states, he said. Responding to allegations by Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee and the TMC regarding the harassment of Bengali-speaking migrants in several BJP-ruled states, including Assam, Gujarat, Delhi, Odisha, and Maharashtra, PM Modi said that Bengali pride is of utmost importance for the BJP. For BJP, Bengali identity is above all. But what is happening here? Trinamool is threatening West Bengal's culture for its own sake. It is bringing in infiltrators, making fake identity cards. It has created an ecosystem, as a result, the country is being harmed, Bengal is being harmed. They have crossed all limits (for appeasement), he said. But from the land of Maa Durga, I want to say that those who are not citizens of India, those who have infiltrated, will be dealt with in a fair manner according to the constitution of India. BJP will not allow any conspiracy against Bengali identity to succeed. This is Modi's guarantee, he added. Modi further accused the TMC government of being partisan. Imagine for a moment a place like Murshidabad where there is rioting, violence in small incidents and the police work for one party, where there is no hope of justice, how is it possible to invest there. Here the state government cannot protect people's lives and shops. That is why investors are worried, he claimed. The Trinamool's goon tax is creating obstacles to investment in Bengal. Here the government has only allowed its leaders to openly commit corruption. That is why many companies have left West Bengal. That is why the youth community here is not able to progress. The state is in a bad condition. That is why today everyone is saying, Trinamool Hatao, save Bengal, he alleged. Referring to the school jobs scam, Modi alleged thousands of teachers were rendered jobless due to corruption at the grassroots. Jobless families are facing problems, while the future of students is in darkness. The situation is such that the court is saying that this is systemic corruption. Trinamool has put both the present and future of Bengal in crisis, he said. In apparent reference to the sexual assault and murder of a woman doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in August last year, Modi said, This land belongs to Dr Kadambari Ganguly, who was the first modern woman doctor. Today is her birthday. But hospitals in West Bengal are not safe. You have seen how Trinamool tried to hide the criminals after the atrocities were committed on a woman doctor.
