| HADP ushers a new era of Agricultural transformation | | Over 92,000 units established under this programme across J&K | 
Jammu, January 18 (Scoop News)-For decades, agricultural interventions across the country largely followed a familiar pattern of rolling out schemes, extending subsidies and measuring success through beneficiary counts. While this approach ensured visibility, it often failed to deliver durable outcomes, particularly in regions marked by fragile ecologies, scattered landholdings and complex terrain.

Conceived not as a collection of schemes but as a comprehensive systems reform, HADP seeks to funda... |

Asad Mirza
The US President Donald Trump has ordered US withdrawal from 66 international organizations including 31 UN entities and 35 non-UN bodies, targeting climate, human rights, and gender equality institutions. The administration characterizes these organizations as serving globalist agendas contrary to American interests. However, this mundane decision leaves the field open for countries like India to revitalise and reform the UN and push the Global South leading the international body.

| | Honouring those who braved the brunt of militancy | | |
K N Pandita
Externally sponsored and internally abetted armed insurgency in the Kashmir Valley and the adjoining regions of Jammu is running its 36th year. The security forces and their affiliates, in particular the J&K Police force, have performed a crucial role and made valuable sacrifices in securing the Kashmiri civilian population from the man-made scourge of terror.
The concept, planning and execution of armed insurgency, which employed high skills of involving the local majority population of Kashmir, overtly or covertly, into the plan of creating a multi-faceted wedge in Kashmir civil society, remains a rare negative achievement of the handlers of Kashmir militancy.
