Meet India's Only Mid-Size SUV With Panoramic Sunroof Under Rs 12.5 Lakh - Its Not Creta, Seltos Or Grand Vitara
New Delhi: Hyundai Creta dominates the mid-size SUV segment, which includes models like the Maruti Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor, Volkswagen Taigun, and others. Among them, the MG Astor is the only SUV in this segment to offer both a large 10-inch infotainment display and a panoramic sunroof under Rs 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom), the JSW MG Motor India claims. In an official press release, JSW MG Motor India stated, "The MY2025 Astor 'Blockbuster SUV' is India's only 1.5-litre mid-size SUV to offer a large 10-inch infotainment display and a panoramic sunroof under Rs 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom)." It also added, "The MG Astor is also the only vehicle in the 1.5L Mid-SUV Automatic segment to offer a wireless charging feature under Rs 15 lakh, with its 'Sharp Pro' trim." While the Astor features a 10-inch infotainment display as standard across the lineup, the panoramic sunroof is available from the 'Shine' trim, priced at Rs 12,47,800 (ex-showroom). The full Astor range is priced between Rs 11,29,800 and Rs 17,55,800 (ex-showroom). Though it is among the most feature-rich SUVs in the segment, the Astor has struggled to gain traction and has failed to generate good sales volume so far. It offers over 50 safety features, 14 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features, and more than 80 connected features. Key Features Include: 6-way power adjustable driver's seat Blind spot detection 360-degree surround view camera Tyre pressure monitoring system Lane change assist Personalised AI assistant Electric parking brake with auto hold 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels Automatic headlamps Front fog lamps with cornering assist LED taillamps Powertrain Options It gets two engine options: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol unit producing 110 hp and 144 Nm, and a 1.3-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine generating 140 hp and 220 Nm.

Tripura farmers to benefit from AI and Drone Tech: CM Manik Saha
Agartala (Tripura) [India], May 30 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has said that the primary goal of his government is to achieve food self-sufficiency through the use of advanced technology. 'The state government is working with special emphasis on increasing the income of farmers. Farmers' income has increased significantly compared to the financial year 2015-16. The aim is to achieve food self-sufficiency through the use of advanced technology,' he said. Saha was speaking at the Vikshit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan held at Bishramganj in Sepahijala district on Thursday, organised as part of a nationwide campaign. He was accompanied by Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Ratan Lal Nath. 'This campaign has been launched with the objective of empowering farmers through advanced technology. The government is committed to ensuring the welfare of farmers through technological advancement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given special emphasis on financially empowering farmers, and our state government is working in the same direction,' the Chief Minister said. 'One of the key goals of this Abhiyan is to raise awareness among farmers about modern agricultural technologies. As a result, the agricultural sector will witness further improvement, enabling the cultivation of high-quality crops,' he added. Saha also highlighted the Rising Northeast Investors Summit held recently in New Delhi, where all eight northeastern states participated. 'MoUs worth Rs 30,000 crore were signed at the summit, out of which Tripura alone accounted for over Rs 15,600 crore. This clearly shows that investors are now willing to come to Tripura,' he stated. He asserted that the development of farmers is essential for the overall progress of the state and the country. 'In various districts across the state, farmers are being supported through the adoption of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and drone technology. Work is in progress in collaboration with NITI Aayog and the Union Ministry of Agriculture to improve the AI-based crop advisory system under the Digital Agriculture Mission in Tripura. This initiative has already yielded notable benefits,' the Chief Minister said. He further noted that since the BJP government came to power in Tripura, paddy has been procured from farmers at the minimum support price (MSP). 'Over Rs 446 crore has been disbursed so far, with paddy being purchased at Rs 23 per kilogram. Soil Health Cards have been distributed to more than 2.06 lakh farmers, and one Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) has been formed in each of the 58 blocks,' he informed. The program was attended by Sepahijala Zilla Parishad Sabhadhipati Supriya Das Dutta, Agriculture Department Secretary Apurba Roy, Sepahijala District Magistrate Siddharth Shiv Jaiswal, and other senior officials.

From Rs 6 lakh to Rs 18 lakh to Rs 0 salary in one month: Indian techie shares heartbreaking job loss story
In recent times, Reddit has become a popular place where people share real stories about their jobs. One such post by an Indian techie caught everyone's attention. He shared how his dream job at a US-based startup was taken away just days before he was supposed to start. His story is about hope, hard work, and an unexpected job loss. This young full-stack developer was working at an Indian startup, earning Rs 6 lakh per year. After a lot of effort, he got an offer from a US company that promised to pay him Rs 18 lakh per year. It seemed like a dream come true—but sadly, things didn't go as planned. From Rs 6 LPA to Rs 18 LPA: A huge salary jump The developer said he had worked hard and learned a lot in his first job. When he received the US job offer, it felt like all his hard work was finally paying off. 'I was a full-stack dev earning Rs 6 LPA. After a lot of hard work, I got an offer from a US startup with Rs 18 LPA,' he wrote. Excited about the opportunity, he resigned from his current job, completed all the joining steps for the new one, and served his notice period. But just before his joining date, things took a shocking turn. Job offer cancelled at the last moment Just as he was ready to begin the new role, the US startup informed him that they had to cancel the offer. They said it was due to changes in their company plans. But the techie believes they might have hired someone else instead. 'I saw a new person join their Slack group before I got the mail. I can't say for sure, but it felt like I was replaced,' he said. This left him without a job or any backup plan. 15 days' pay offered, but the pain remains The company gave him 15 days' pay as a kind gesture. But that didn't make things easier. 'Now I'm jobless. I've been applying non-stop, but getting no replies. It's been a hard fall—from a high to a low in just days,' he added. Life in startups: Big learning, but no stability The Indian techie had worked only with startups so far. While he learned a lot, he also realised that startup jobs can be risky. 'This would have been my third company. I want more stability now. A place where I can work for 2-3 years and grow,' he said. He also mentioned that he is always ready to learn and improve, but this time he wants some job security too. Here's the Reddit post Reddit community offers support and advice Many users on Reddit praised him for sharing his story. Some gave useful advice, while others related to his situation. Top suggestions from the community: 'Make a post on linkedin regarding this and mention you are available to join next day. Nice post btw, didn't feel like you were crying or something.' 'This is a bad situation. Those companies should be sued, but the government is not doing enough.' 'Can you send me your resume on DM? We have some openings for SWE-1 in our org I can try and help' 'It's okay, you've got the necessary skills, so you'll make it. Don't worry!' What can we learn from this? This story is a wake-up call for many young professionals: Don't resign until your new job is fully confirmed. Always research new companies before joining, especially startups. Keep some savings in case things go wrong. Build a strong network on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Reddit for support. Stay strong, stay prepared Many Indian techies aim for better jobs abroad or in high-paying startups. But this story shows that it's important to be ready for surprises too. A good salary is great—but job security and peace of mind matter just as much. If you're in a similar situation, don't lose hope. Keep applying, stay active on LinkedIn, talk to people in the industry, and most importantly, believe in yourself. And if you can help someone like this techie—with a referral, a job lead, or just some kind words—do it. It could make a big difference.
