World Food Day, observed on October 16, commemorates the founding of the FAO in 1945 and unites over 150 countries in the fight against hunger. The 2025 theme, “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future,” highlights global cooperation—among governments, communities, and individuals—to build sustainable agri-food systems that nourish people while protecting the planet.
India’s exports are rising again. But behind the good news lies a worrying counter-trend — a rapidly widening trade deficit and growing dependence on imported goods. As exports shine, the balance of payments tells a more complex story of structural vulnerability beneath the surface.
A decade of reforms has brought more Indian women into the workforce than ever before. Yet behind the numbers lies a quieter revolution—the demand for workplaces that respect, enable, and reward women on equal terms.
For years, we’ve been told that sorting our waste is an act of environmental virtue. But recycling was never meant to fix the climate crisis. While citizens separate bottles, industries churn out plastic and governments stall. Real action means cutting production, transforming energy, and redesigning how we live.
Donald Trump’s second term has been marked by an aggressive assertion of presidential control — and the Supreme Court appears ready to legitimise a theory that could make that power effectively unlimited.
In a world where knowledge expires faster than degrees are earned, the greatest education may be the one we give ourselves. The idea that learning ends with a diploma belongs to another era—one where stability was promised and careers followed predictable paths. Today, the only constant is change, and the most valuable skill is not mastery of a single subject but mastery of learning itself. This is the new frontier—the Skillful Horizon—where curiosity, adaptability, and self-driven growth define success.
Two years after Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack, Gaza lies in ruins and Israel stands isolated — proof that even overwhelming power cannot deliver victory in a war without end.
Fourteen children in Madhya Pradesh swallowed a medicine their parents trusted — and never woke up again. This is not just the story of one poisonous batch, but of a system that treats safety as an afterthought and human life as expendable.
The world is heating up, but so are our nerves. For a generation that has never known stability — ecological, economic, or political — fear has become a natural state of being. Climate anxiety isn’t a fringe feeling anymore; it’s a defining feature of youth in the 21st century. The challenge now is not to silence that fear, but to understand what it’s trying to tell us.
