Cash alone does not make a pregnancy safe. In my piece for @ETGovernment, I argue that maternity cash transfers deliver their full value only when paired with care and counselling. That is the real arithmetic of pregnancy.

1/4 NFHS-6 confirms what sustained effort in Odisha has built. Child stunting has fallen from about 45% two decades ago to 26.8%, now better than the national 29.3%. For a state at our income level, that is a creditable achievement.
2/4 The gains rest on strong foundations laid by the Government of Odisha: institutional delivery above 90%, four or more antenatal visits up from 51.2% to 65.2%, and rotavirus vaccine coverage up from 36.4% to 85.4%.
3/4 Odisha is now moving from how much we deliver to what children eat. Mukhyamantri Sampoorna Pushti Yojana commits ₹3,354 crore across all 338 ICDS projects, adding eggs, bananas, chana and til ladoo. Pada Pushti Yojana, unique to Odisha, carries hot meals to remote tribal hamlets.
4/4 Suposhit Odisha Mission is certifying all 74,224 Anganwadi Centres, verified by 6,000 NSS volunteers. Heckman's evidence puts the return on such early childhood investment at 13% a year. Odisha is building exactly that.

At the Outlook MSME Growth Conclave, Odisha 2026, I argued that the next task is not larger transfers but greater capability.
Under Subhadra, 1.04 crore women across all 30 districts have received over ₹20,600 crore, credited to accounts held in their own names.
The evidence is telling us something. Women setting money aside for a business rose from 25.5% after the second instalment to 53% after the fourth. Financial independence rose from 63.9% to 78%. Average bank balances rose by ₹6,887. Demand for skill training rose from 12.5% to 64%.
Financial security did not make her want less. It made her want more.

Swine flu has nothing to do with pigs.
Not from pigs. Not from pork. It is the same seasonal flu that returns every monsoon.
And it is not the virus that kills. It is the days lost before the right tablet reaches the patient.
Every district counts cases. Almost none count hours.
That is the number I would ask for.

India is responding proactively to the new strain, which is mild. As individuals, we can stay safe by following regular precautions.

TRUTH ABOUT INDIA and PAKISTAN!
Let me break this down before the radical left-wing media spins more lies and the jihadis in America start crying and claiming victimhood, let’s get the facts straight.
India Just Struck Back, Here’s Why:
On May 7, 2025, India launched Operation Sindoor, a decisive strike against terror camps within Pakistan-controlled territory.
These weren’t random targets. India hit known Islamic terrorist hubs used to train and launch attacks against Indian civilians and soldiers.
This wasn’t a drill. This was a calculated response to the Pahalgam Islamic massacre on April 22, 2025, when 27 Hindu tourists were executed in cold blood by terrorists backed by Pakistan.
These innocent civilians....newlyweds, families, honeymooners...were forced to strip, recite Islamic prayers, and prove their religion. When they couldn’t, they were shot on sight. They were slaughtered for not being Muslim.
Who Did India Target?
India hit key terror camps belonging to three of Pakistan’s most notorious jihadist groups. These camps are the core infrastructure of Pakistan’s proxy war strategy against India, housing radical Islamist fighters who routinely infiltrate Kashmir and conduct attacks on Indian civilians and military personnel.
1. Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)
A Deobandi jihadist group, JeM is known for carrying out some of the deadliest attacks on Indian soil, including the Pulwama attack (2019). It operates with direct support from Pakistan’s ISI and often functions openly in Pakistan. JeM openly advocates for violent jihad to separate Kashmir from India.
JeM Targets Hit:
Markaz Subhan Allah, Bahawalpur: A major training center for JeM militants, located in Punjab province, Pakistan. Known for recruiting, radicalizing, and arming jihadists.
Sarjal, Tehra Kalan: A strategic base used for combat training and logistics, located in Pakistan-administered territory.
Markaz Abbas, Kotli: A JeM hub involved in indoctrination and weapons training. Key for recruiting local youth for terrorist missions.
Syedna Bilal Camp, Muzaffarabad: An operational base in the Muzaffarabad region, frequently used for launching cross-border attacks into Indian territory.
2. Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
LeT is one of the most dangerous Islamist militant groups globally, responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed over 160 people, including foreign nationals. Despite being internationally condemned, LeT continues to operate under the guise of charity organizations and receives significant state support.
LeT Targets Hit:
Markaz Taiba, Muridke: The headquarters of LeT, openly functioning as a “charitable trust” while training militants for suicide missions.
Markaz Ahle Hadith, Barnala: A LeT-affiliated center camouflaged as a religious and educational institution but actively involved in terror training.
Shawai Nalla Camp, Muzaffarabad: A forward operating base for LeT, strategically located for cross-border incursions. Used for arms smuggling and militant training.
3. Hizbul Mujahideen (HM)
HM is the largest Islamist militant group in Kashmir, heavily backed by Pakistan’s ISI. It aims to create separatist insurgency in Kashmir and is responsible for numerous attacks on both civilians and Indian security forces.
HM Targets Hit:
Mehmoona Joya, Sialkot: A logistics center for HM operations, located near the border, facilitating recruitment and weapon distribution.
Maskar Raheel Shahid, Kotli: A training ground for urban warfare and guerrilla tactics. Essential for training new recruits before deployment into Kashmir.
Why Did India Strike?
Because Pakistan has been harboring, training, and equipping jihadists for decades. The Pahalgam massacre was the final straw, India had to respond to protect its citizens from state-sponsored terrorism.
India’s response was not just justified...it was long overdue.
Pakistan’s proxy war using terror groups has cost countless Indian lives.
Pakistan’s Pathetic Propaganda
After getting hit hard, Pakistan did what it does best: lie. Here’s how they tried to cover up their embarrassment:
Claimed to have shot down Indian jets (no proof).
Claimed to have attacked Srinagar Airport (shared a fake video from 2024).
Claimed to have captured Indian soldiers (retracted by their own Defense Minister).
Claimed missile strikes at 15 Indian locations (completely fabricated).
Why Is Pakistan Panicking?
Because they know the world is watching and their terror state status is under the spotlight. If Pakistan wasn’t a terror state, they’d be thanking India for eliminating jihadist breeding grounds. But NO they’re angry because they support terrorism.
(All of the Pakistani Imam's in America like in America are ALSO angry - which our government should be monitoring)
Instead of condemning the Pahalgam massacre, Pakistan is playing victim - spinning tales about nuclear threats and false flag operations. They’re desperate to look strong for their domestic audience, even if it means fabricating stories.
Radical Left-Wing Media - Stop the Lies
While Western journalists and Islamic apologists scramble to portray Pakistan as the victim, the truth is clear:
India didn’t attack randomly - it targeted terror camps responsible for massacres.
India is not the aggressor - it’s defending itself from decades of jihadist violence.
Western media needs to wake up and stop glorifying terrorists just because they’re backed by Pakistan.
To All the Jihadis Crying Victimhood in America:
Enough with the fake victimhood narratives. You support Pakistan’s terrorism, you cry about Indian retaliation, but you never condemn the brutal killings of innocent Hindus.
India is done being silent. The world sees Pakistan for what it is - A TERROR STATE!!!
India’s Message to Pakistan:
You can’t hide behind fake news and propaganda. You can’t cover up your terror state status. The world knows nd no amount of lies and victimhood will save you.
To Everyone Else:
Stay vigilant. Stay informed. Don’t buy the same old narrative that Pakistan is the victim when they are the architects of terrorism. Stand with India’s right to defend itself.
AND GET PAKISTANI RADICALS OUT OF AMERICA!!!

#CancerCure #UnprovenRemedies are very dangerous/ frequently fatal. Seek proper medical care if detected with cancer as early as possible. Many cancers are curable today with proper treatment with chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy or a combination.
Reflecting on women's roles through AI-generated poetry. In a world where women juggle multiple responsibilities, AI's verses shed light on the importance of support and choice. Read my article to delve into the complexities and possibilities: dailypioneer.com/2024/column…

Behind every successful man is a woman‼️
Therefore, I need a wife. ASAP❣️
Let's examine the logic of syllogism.
The adage pays homage to millions of invisible mothers and wives who worked in the shadows, supporting the men in their world-facing endeavors.
Women of today are expanding the frontiers of their contribution to society, yet there is a chasm between what women deserve and the opportunities they receive. Would they do better if they had wives, like men? That is the question I explored this women's day.
I, for one, have nursed a mega-FOMO, observing the wives of my male colleagues take care of their home and hearth while their men unleashed their creativity and dominance in their careers and the world at large.
Unless we get certified wives borne out of a patriarchal system (otherwise, what use is them?), we are on our own, as behind every successful woman is a woman who worked hard, believed in herself, and pursued her dreams.
Please read my article and tell me if I make sense.

Dear readers, I am statistically assuming half of you are women. Please take this message seriously and get a screen for #cervicalcancer if you are 30 and above.
All readers, Kindly motivate mothers, sisters, female friends, and other women in your family to do the same.
Together, we can save many lives.

A fake obituary has achieved something a 100 Door Darshan conversations with experts, 1000 billboards, and 10,000 closed-door seminars would not have achieved- it surfaced conversations on a deadly disease- #CervicalCancer - and generated demand for information, and hopefully, a concern for one’s health, and a search for #CervicalCancer -related services. Communications, for an effective positive outcome, must be backed by infrastructure and support that help to convert intention-to-act into action on the ground.
My article attempts to achieve the same- answer basic questions and guide seekers to services that are essential to prevent and treat cervical cancer, which, if left to itself, kills 8 out of 10 victims.
Our government has been providing us with facilities for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment at all levels.
The good news is, in addition to the widely available 5-minute screening available right at your doorstep at health and wellness centers in villages, our government has promised to fund an #HPVvaccine for adolescent girls this year.
Early prevention among girls, who get the majority of #HPVRelatedCancers, is key to the prevention and elimination of #CervicalCancer in later years. Young women are the most vulnerable, and 20% of children who lose their mothers to cancer do so due to #CervicalCancer.
#HPVvaccines are available on demand currently at clinics and hospitals.
Globally, organizations like @sabinvaccine are doing excellent work to support poorer countries in initiating and funding #HPVvaccines and #CervicalCancer screening and treatment through special vehicles like #HPVConsortium.
Together, we can eliminate #CervicalCancer completely in our lifetime through the trinity of vaccination, screening, and early treatment of #CervicalCancer
