Bhagwant Mann Government’s ‘Meri Rasoi’ Scheme to Provide Nutritious Ration to 40 Lakh Families

By

-

The Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has announced the expansion of its ‘Meri Rasoi’ scheme, aimed at strengthening food security for economically weaker households.

Key Highlights

  • The initiative targets around 40 lakh blue card holder families across the state.
  • Beneficiaries will receive nutritious food support in addition to wheat supplied under existing ration programs.
  • The scheme promises quality ration items, indicating an effort to improve both quantity and nutritional value of distributed food grains.

Bhagwant Mann Objective

The state government says the program is designed to:

  • Enhance nutritional intake among low-income households
  • Strengthen the public distribution system
  • Reduce food insecurity and malnutrition risks

The scheme is also being viewed as a targeted welfare intervention that builds upon the existing food subsidy architecture rather than replacing it. By supplementing wheat distribution with additional ration items, the government aims to address hidden hunger — a condition where caloric intake may be sufficient but essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals are lacking. Policy observers note that such nutrition-focused ration models have increasingly become part of state welfare strategies across India, especially in regions where malnutrition indicators remain a concern among low-income groups.

Administratively, the initiative will require coordination between food supply departments, local ration depots, and district authorities to ensure timely procurement, storage, and distribution of quality food items. Strengthening monitoring systems and transparency mechanisms will be crucial to prevent leakages and ensure that benefits reach intended households. Experts emphasize that successful implementation will depend not only on allocation of food supplies but also on last-mile delivery efficiency and beneficiary awareness.

Economically, the move may increase short-term fiscal expenditure for the state, but welfare economists often argue that improved nutrition contributes to long-term gains such as better public health outcomes, higher productivity, and reduced healthcare burden. If implemented effectively, such schemes can act as social investment programs rather than mere subsidies, especially when they target vulnerable populations like daily wage earners, rural poor, and urban informal workers.

Governance Focus

Officials describe the scheme as part of the administration’s broader welfare push to ensure that subsidized ration programs move beyond calorie supply to balanced nutrition support.

Jaipur Metro: National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Chief and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to lay the foundation stone for the Jaipur Metro second phase.

The second phase would add a total of 36 new metro stations to the Pink City’s metro network. The proposed expansion of Jaipur Metro would help in extending the city’s transportation system into emerging commercial as well as residential corridors. Moreover, it would help in significantly enhancing cross-city connectivity for daily commuters, students, tourists, businessmen and others.

Jaipur Metro-Details

It has been indicated by Metro authorities that detailed station locations and alignments would soon be finalized by the relevant authorities after environmental assessments and requisite surveys get completed.

The expansion would help in cutting down congestion on road networks while offering faster and economical travel options across major neighbourhoods and junctions. This would help in cutting down travel time and congestion for commuters.

Officials remarked that the metro authority and the state administration would be seamlessly coordinating delivery of the Metro phase 2 project. It was further added that detailed design and tendering processes would soon be commended after statutory approvals are duly received.

The Metro phase 2 project is expected to bring in a series of regional as well as local connectivity benefits for businessesmen, workers, students, domestic as well as international tourists and others. It would also provide a more flexible, convenient, comfortable, economical and speedy form of transportation for Jaipur metro passengers.

Seeds of ‘Chitta’ & gangsterism were sown during Akali rule from 2007 to 2017: Baltej Pannu

Baltej Pannu

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab’s State Media In-charge Baltej Pannu on Wednesday responded strongly to the statement made by Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal that if his government comes to power, drug traffickers and gangsters would be declared “terrorists” in the first cabinet meeting.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, Baltej Pannu said that Sukhbir Singh Badal appears to be under the illusion that the people of Punjab have forgotten the dark period from 2007 to 2017. “The truth is that the seeds of drugs (‘chitta’) and gangsterism in Punjab were sown during the Akali-BJP government, and it was under their patronage that they flourished. Before 2007, Punjab had never even heard the word gangster. It was during Sukhbir Singh Badal’s rule that criminals received political patronage,” he added.

The AAP Punjab State Media Incharge recalled that in Amritsar, when an ASI was murdered while trying to protect his daughter’s honour, people associated with the Akali Dal openly celebrated with bhangra. “Under whose tenure did the Nabha jail break take place? Who was responsible for the broad daylight abduction of a minor girl in Faridkot? These are all signs of the Akali Dal’s reign of hooliganism. Those criminals who roamed fearlessly in expensive vehicles fitted with hooters and speakers during that time later went on to become gangsters,” Baltej Pannu said.

Baltej Pannu further said, “Between 2007 and 2012, drug outlets opened across Punjab, and after the government was re-elected in 2012, chitta reached its peak. The sin of pushing an entire generation of Punjab into the swamp of drugs lies on Sukhbir Singh Badal’s head. Whenever the police arrested drug smugglers, within half an hour their photographs with Akali leaders would surface, and recommendations from ministers would reach to secure their release. Today, the same Sukhbir Singh Badal is talking about taking action in the first meeting, which is completely laughable.”

Highlighting the efforts of the AAP government, Baltej Pannu said, “The AAP Government led by CM Bhagwant Singh Mann is honestly fighting a war against drugs and gangsters. Committees have been formed down to the village level, and the police are working with full alertness. At a time when the Bhagwant Mann government is eradicating these evils from the roots, Sukhbir Singh Badal is once again driven by hunger for power so that he can rebuild the same old drug empire.”

Referring to past incidents, Baltej Pannu said, “The people of Punjab can never forget that during their rule, incidents of sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji took place in Bargari and Burj Jawahar Singh Wala. When people were peacefully protesting, who ordered the firing on them? In the Kotkapura firing incident case, Sukhbir Singh Badal himself is currently out on bail. Not only that, prominent Sikh personalities and even the Head Granthi of Sri Darbar Sahib, Giani Raghbir Singh Ji, are raising questions against the Akali family, yet Sukhbir Singh Badal has maintained deep silence on the matter.”

Baltej Pannu said, “In his next rally, Sukhbir Singh Badal should tell the people of Punjab what he did during his 10 years in power. How did chitta enter Punjab between 2007 and 2017, and how did scooter repair mechanics become owners of billions? The people of Punjab do not have such weak memories that they would forget the blood of their loved ones and the youth who were destroyed. Sukhbir Singh Badal should stop dreaming because Punjab has now recognized their true face.”

Bill Gates has publicly addressed his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, apologizing for them. The statement has triggered a global debate on ethics, accountability, and the responsibilities of influential public figures.

What Happened?

Bill Gates returned to international news coverage after documents connected him to Jeffrey Epstein through reports that emerged in the media. Gates publicly addressed the situation when public interest peaked, explaining his earlier connections and expressing regret for specific choices he had made. 

Bill Gates’ Response and Apology

Gates broke his silence by admitting that his past meetings and associations were a mistake. He explained that he interacted with Epstein for work purposes, but he considered this contact a major professional judgment mistake. His apology shows him trying to accept responsibility, yet it creates new doubts about his knowledge of Epstein, about his intentions, and his obligations as a person with great power.

Global Debate on Ethics and Accountability

The issue has now moved beyond just one individual. The situation has sparked public discussion of two main topics that need to be examined.

  • Role of Public Figures

People are questioning whether influential personalities should be held to higher ethical standards, especially when their actions can impact public trust.

  • Accountability vs Reputation

The situation has sparked debate over whether apologies are enough or whether stronger accountability measures are needed.

  • Power and Influence

The controversy reveals how elite groups operate, as their members use their influence to maintain secret relationships within their inner circles.

Public Reactions

The public response showed two opposite reactions, both with strong emotional intensity. Some people value the apology, which shows a willingness to resolve the matter, while others demand more detailed information along with responsibility for the actions.

Ever felt mentally dull, forgetful or just unable to focus? That’s what most people call brain fog. It’s like your mind has a cloud over it, making it hard to think clearly or remember things. You may feel distracted, tired or slow, even after a full night’s sleep. According to Ayurveda, brain fog happens when Agni (your mental fire) is weak and Vata dosha is aggravated, disrupting mental clarity and focus.

Luckily, simple natural remedies can help you clear that cloud and boost your brain power.

Celeb Nutritionist Shweta Shah’s Ayurvedic Tips for Brain Fog

Celebrity nutritionist Shweta Shah, known for training top Bollywood stars and athletes like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Rakul Preet Singh, Urvashi Rautela, Sakshi Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir and Harbhajan Singh, shared her quick Ayurvedic tips to beat brain fog. She combines modern nutrition with Ayurveda to create health plans that really work.

On Instagram, she revealed two easy remedies you can do on an empty stomach:

Remedy 1: Brahmi and Cow Ghee

  • Take ¼ tsp Brahmi powder with 1 tsp warm cow ghee in the morning.
  • Brahmi helps improve memory, calm the mind, and increase focus.
  • Ghee boosts absorption of nutrients and nourishes brain tissues.

Remedy 2: Nasya with Cow Ghee

  • Put 2 drops of cow ghee in each nostril on an empty stomach.
  • This Ayurvedic practice lubricates nasal channels, calms the nervous system, and enhances clarity.
  • Avoid Nasya if you have a cold, sinus infection, or blocked nose.

Shweta emphasises that consistency matters more than quantity. These are simple rituals, but their impact on mental sharpness can be powerful.

Simple Steps for a Clearer Mind

In addition to these remedies, Ayurveda suggests:

  1. Proper sleep – A rested mind clears brain fog naturally.
  2. Hydration – Drink water first thing in the morning.
  3. Balanced diet – Include warm, easy-to-digest meals.
  4. Mindful breathing – Even 5 minutes a day can calm Vata and enhance clarity.

With just a few small changes and simple Ayurvedic remedies, you can fight brain fog, boost focus and feel sharper every day. Keep these rituals handy for those days when your mind feels clouded.

Music composer Ismail Darbar has responded to recent comments by AR Rahman about facing communal bias in Bollywood. His remarks have reignited the discussion on talent, recognition and religion in the Indian music industry. Read on to know what he said!

Ismail Darbar Hits Back At AR Rahman Over His Communal Remark

Speaking to Subhojit Ghosh on YouTube, Darbar dismissed Rahman’s claim of facing discrimination. He said, “If the industry were communal, then no Muslim in this country would have become a star. There would not have been Ismail Darbar, Naushad or Dilip Kumar. They wouldn’t have become stars if this were the case.”

Darbar also criticised Rahman’s music and added, “It is all about talent and your fate. Also, what deficiency do you have in life that your stomach is not getting filled? God has given you everything, so live nicely. You are very talented; you design sounds very nicely. You don’t make good songs, but you are a good sound designer.”

What AR Rahman Said

In January 2026, AR Rahman said in a BBC Asian Network interview that a “communal thing” might have affected his Bollywood opportunities over the last eight years. He suggested that corporate decisions and project reassignments could be responsible.

The comments drew criticism from industry veterans, including Javed Akhtar, and backlash from organisations like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). Union Minister G Kishan Reddy called the statement “false and unfortunate.”

Rahman later clarified on Instagram that his remarks were misunderstood. He reaffirmed India as his “inspiration and home.” On February 24, 2026, he announced a 40-day social media break while continuing work on major projects, including the Ramayana score.

About Ismail Darbar

Ismail Darbar is a celebrated composer best known for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s films, including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and Devdas (2002). His work has won multiple awards, including a National Film Award. Darbar has also judged reality singing shows such as Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge (2005, 2007), Amul Star Voice of India 2 and Bharat Ki Shaan: Singing Star Season 2, establishing him as a respected figure in the music industry.

High Triglycerides? Could Your Bedtime Eating Be The Hidden Culprit? Nutritionist Shares Her Opinions

High Triglycerides

High Triglycerides: These days, many of us indulge in midnight snacks and sugary breakfasts. Add to that your morning glass of juice, white toast, or sugary cereals, and you’re fuelling a lipid crisis. However, these foods are significantly high on triglycerides, the most common fats in the blood.

In a video shared on Instagram, nutritionist Dr. Shweta Nagar shares her expert opinions on triglycerides and actionable tips to keep them under control.

The Trap Of High Triglycerides

Triglycerides could be described as fats in the blood that get stored as energy as and when you consume more calories than you burn. Normal levels of triglycerides are under 150 mg/dL and anything about 200 mg/dL raises red flags for severe health conditions such as stroke, heart disease and pancreatitis.

Late-Night Eating

Many of us have a habit of grabbing a quick paratha, biryani or leftovers while binge-watching our favourite Bollywood, Tollywood, English or Korean entertainment choices. However, nocturnal eating could elevate triglycerides because insulin sensitivity drops at night. Surprisingly, even “healthy” late snacks like fruit or yogurt can backfire if they’re heavy on carbohydrates.

Actionable Tips: Say No To Triglyceride Triggers

Ideally, you should consume your dinner by 7 pm. If you feel hungry after this time, you could sip black coffee or herbal tea. You may choose eggs with veggies, besan chila or nuts for your breakfast but make sure to avoid anything liquid-sweet or refined. You can snack smart with midday almonds or yogurt to curb cravings without spikes.

It is also advised that you lead an active lifestyle and stay away from alcohol and nicotine. Ideally, you should engage yourself in 30 minutes of yoga every day and consume omega-3s from fish or flaxseed.

Nitesh Rane: The member of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for the Kankavli Vidhan Sabha constituency Nitesh Rane has remarked that no one would be allowed to offer namaz inside office of the Malegaon Municipal Corporation’s electricity department.

Nitesh Rane Against Offering Namaz In Official Workplaces

Rane blasted those offering namaz during Ramadan in the electricity office of Malegaon Municipal Corporation. Rane enquired whether those people have been hired to work for the development of Malegaon or perform jihad in the name of a religion.

Rane suggested that Muslims are free to offer namaz in thousands of mosques in the country and those contravening the basic worship rules would not be spared.

Why Were Muslims Offering Namaz Inside Govt Office?

Electricity concern has been one of the largest problems of the city’s wards. Led by Lukman Kamal, the President of the Malegaon Lok Sangharsh Samiti, and many residents staged a protest at the electricity department office. The protestors offered Ramadan’s namaz inside the office as it was the scheduled tiem for Asr prayers.

BJP leader Kirit Somaiya remarked that some government employees performed namaz during office hours at the Malegaon Municipal Corporation office. Somaiya added that they went on to upload a video of it on social media.

Also referred to as the afternoon prayer, the Asr prayer is the 3rd of the 5 obligatory daily prayers for members of the Muslim community. During the prayer, Muslims reaffirm their faith in Islam and Prophet Mohammad.

Social Media Reactions

A social media user commented, “Wow, that’s a lot to unpack. the minister’s comments are pretty intense.” Another user commented, “He has taken oath under hindu rastra.” Another user said, “Muslims need to settle in one side of india and fill with mosques islam. Chants of Allah hu akber. Onlu solution to this hatred.”
