Rajesh Singh Dayal Foundation celebrates Raksha Bandhan with visually impaired children, advances work on 600-bed hospital in Lucknow

The Rajesh Singh Dayal Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to healthcare and social inclusion, marked this year's Raksha Bandhan at the Raj Bhavan in Lucknow with the Honourable Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Anandiben Patel, and hundreds of visually impaired children. Foundation volunteers and staff ensured the children's safe and comfortable arrival at the Governor's residence. Patel tied Raksha Sutras to the children and shared sweets, creating a warm, inclusive celebration. The gathering reflected the organisation's ongoing commitment to building opportunities for the differently abled to participate fully in social and cultural life. The foundation's work stems from the personal journey of its founder, Rajesh Singh Dayal, a pioneering social activist and educationist in Lucknow. His dedication to service deepened after the loss of his son Kunwar at the age of 20. In his memory, Dayal established Kunwar Lives and Kunwar's Educational Foundation, focusing on expanding educational access for rural and underprivileged youth. Over time, his social initiatives evolved into the Rajesh Singh Dayal Foundation, which has provided free health and medical aid to more than 1.5 lakh people across Uttar Pradesh. Building on this legacy, the foundation has now begun work on a 600-bed multi-speciality hospital in Lucknow, designed to deliver affordable and accessible medical care, particularly to underserved communities. This major infrastructure project marks a new chapter in the foundation's mission to strengthen healthcare delivery in the state. From healthcare outreach and inclusive community events to education programmes for rural youth, the Rajesh Singh Dayal Foundation continues to honour its roots while expanding its impact—proving that compassion, service, and resilience can shape lasting change.

Paddy dwarfing virus detected in Punjab.

Ludhiana: While the Punjab government has pushed for advanced transplantation of paddy this year, it appears to have led to surfacing of paddy dwarfing disease in transplanted crop earlier, as per field observations by Punjab Agricultural University (PAU). Paddy dwarfing disease, caused by Southern Rice Black Streaked Dwarf Virus (SRBSDV), has surfaced in Punjab, with confirmed cases in multiple districts and growing concern among farmers. Surveys by PAU across 20 districts in July and August this year have found the disease in sub-mountainous areas, including Pathankot, Gurdaspur, Ropar, Fatehgarh Sahib and Patiala. Field observations showed that transplanting before June 20 increased infection risk. Fields transplanted after June 25 largely escaped early infection, showing little to no symptoms during the survey. The government this year had advanced the paddy transplanting date from usual mid June to June 1. The disease is marked by stunting, reduced tillering, poor root growth, narrow upright leaves and shortened internodes. It spreads through the WBPH, an insect vector favoured by specific weather conditions. Experts say this year's outbreak mirrors the climate pattern of 2022, when the last major flare-up occurred. To contain the spread, PAU has issued insect-vector management guidelines. Farmers are advised to monitor WBPH populations closely and use only the recommended insecticides.

Astrocartography: The New Age Tool That Claims to Predict Your Success Based on Where You Live

I stand before a world map bathed in starlight, arms outstretched to embrace the luminous web of astrological influences connecting us to the cosmos. While natal astrology helps us understand our individual selves, astrocartography offers a unique way to apply that understanding to the physical world. Astrocartography, also known as locational astrology, is a technique that maps the planetary lines of a person's birth chart onto a world map. It reveals how different geographical locations on Earth may affect an individual's life, showing where a person might experience more love, success, adventure, or challenges. The core principle behind astrocartography is that the planetary energies in your birth chart are not static; they are projected onto the Earth's surface in specific lines. When you are in a location where one of these lines is active, you are essentially "turning up the volume" on that planet's influence in your life. For example, if you were to travel to a city where your Venus line is located, you might find that you experience more romantic opportunities, feel more creative, or find yourself focused on beauty and art. Conversely, a location on your Mars line might bring more energy, drive, and ambition, but could also be associated with conflict, competition, or intense activity. The beauty of astrocartography is that it provides a practical guide for travel and relocation. It helps answer questions like: "Where should I go on vacation to relax and find inspiration?" or "What city would be most conducive to my career goals?" It's a powerful tool for self-discovery, helping you understand why you might feel more at home, more successful, or more challenged in certain places. For example, someone might feel a strong pull to move to a certain city without knowing why. An astrocartography map could reveal that their Jupiter line—the planet of expansion and good fortune—runs directly through that location, explaining the intuitive attraction. It's important to remember that astrocartography is not a deterministic tool. It doesn't force a specific outcome but rather highlights a potential. It suggests that while you carry your entire birth chart with you wherever you go, certain planetary energies become more prominent depending on your location. It's a way of merging the celestial with the terrestrial, providing a fascinating and practical lens through which to view your life's journey and choose your path forward.
