In the ongoing power struggle within the Lalu Prasad Yadav family, one name from Haryana has emerged at the center of the storm—Sanjay Yadav.

Jharkhand: After 78 Years of Independence, Jamtara Village Finally Gets a Paved Road—Made Possible by Villagers Donating Their Own Land

Jamtara: Even after 78 years of India’s independence, Pahrudih—a remote village in Jharkhand’s Jamtara district—remained without a proper road. No four-wheeler could reach the village, forcing residents to carry patients on makeshift cots all the way to the main road before an ambulance could be accessed. After decades of struggle and neglect, it was finally the collective resolve of the villagers that made the difference: they donated their own land to make way for a long-pending road. With the land issue resolved, the road has now been approved under the Chief Minister Rural Road Scheme. The foundation stone for the 2.1-km stretch between Pahrudih and Raghunathpur in Narayanpur block was laid on Sunday by State Health Minister Irfan Ansari.

IIT Kanpur Developing Laddu-Making Machine for Kedarnath Temple Prasad; Device to Reduce Women’s Manual Labour

Kanpur/Dehradun: A major breakthrough is underway in the preparation of prasad offered at the revered Kedarnath Temple.

These laddus, made from amaranth seeds (chaulai) and jaggery, are currently shaped manually—pressed by hand into moulds—causing severe fatigue and discomfort to the women who prepare them daily. Why the Innovation Was Needed Professor Satyaki Roy, Head of the Design Department at IIT Kanpur, explained that during a field visit to Rudraprayag two years ago with a PhD student, they closely observed the difficult manual process of making these prasad laddus...
