Indian-origin scientist Joyeeta Gupta has been honored with the Spinoza Prize, also known as the 'Dutch Nobel Prize', for her exceptional scientific contributions towards creating a just and sustainable world. The University of Amsterdam recognized Gupta's pioneering and inspiring research, and she will receive a grant of 1.5 million euros to support her scientific work and knowledge utilization activities. Gupta, a professor of Environment and Development in the Global South, plans to use the prize money to implement her ideas presented in her inaugural lecture in 2014, which focus on global sharing of the 'eco-space' and the need for a global environmental constitution. This constitution would protect environmental conditions worldwide in an equitable manner, bridging global environmental and developmental challenges. The official presentation of the award will be held on October 4.

End of an era.

Many of us hold childhood memories of watching Ms. Geetanjali Aiyer, who used to deliver the prime-time news in English on Doordarshan...

Om Shanti.

आलु, प्याज, तेल लगायत दैनिक उपभोग्य सामानमा समेत जनतासँग कर असुलिरहेको सरकारले मानव स्वास्थ्यमाथि गम्भीर असर गर्ने सुर्ती तथा चुरोटमा भने विगतदेखि नै न्यून कर लगाउने गरेको छ । #NepalNews

Underrated and less talked about is the achievement of the Modi government in the conservation of the sacred Ganga River and the environment, leading to improved livelihoods for farmers, fishermen, artisans, and a thriving ecosystem. Over 30,000 hectares of forest area along the riverbanks have been restored, resulting in the restoration of significant biodiversity.

The UN Environment has produced an amazing short film showcasing these achievements.

We have witnessed the consequences of the Ganga Action Plan announced by Rajiv Gandhi in 1985 and its failure to address the pollution in the Ganga River despite significant financial investment.

In contrast, within just nine years, the sincere efforts of the Modi government through the Namami Gange scheme have brought about a remarkable turnaround for Maa Ganga.

Those who ridicule Modi for his attire or accepting expensive gifts are unaware of where the auctioned articles go. They contribute to the Namami Gange scheme, which has made a visible impact.

We extend our appreciation to the efforts of the Modi government for successfully restoring the magnificence of Maa Ganga.

आगामी आर्थिक वर्ष २०८०/८१ का लागि सरकारले ५ जेठमा सार्वजनिक गरेको नीति तथा कार्यक्रम र १५ जेठमा ल्याएको बजेटबीच तारतम्य नमिलेको पाइएको छ । सरकारले ल्याउने नीति तथा कार्यक्रमअनुसार नै बजेट आउनुपर्ने भए पनि त्यो अनुसार रहेको पाइएको छैन । #NepalNews

Lightness will lead to mightiness. Lightness is natural, holding and attaching are unnatural. What's unnatural will block the intelligence of the soul. Let go and see how higher wisdom flows. #brahmakumaris #quoteoftheday #wisdomquotes #wisdomwednesday #positivevibes #spirituality
