The PM has announced the PM Janman scheme. The government is focused on the upliftment and development of tribal people, which is why this movement is underway.
Earlier, there were hardly any schools, but now you will find many—English medium schools, pre-primary, LKG, and UKG, Nath said and added. 'We are working to provide better quality education, and that's why we are stressing students' development. They are the future of the country.'

Delhi gets Rs 821 cr as special Central assistance for projects
New Delhi: In a major boost to infrastructure and public services, the Delhi government has received ₹821.26 crore in special assistance from the central government. Of this, 66 percent of the amount has already been released. The funds will support 33 major development projects across sectors such as health, education, transport, water, housing, energy, and mass rapid transit. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta shared the development on social media, thanking the Centre for the financial support. She said the assistance will play a crucial role in strengthening Delhi's infrastructure and transforming the capital in line with the broader national vision of a 'Viksit Bharat.' 'This decision is a visionary step toward turning the vision of ' Viksit Bharat' into 'Viksit Delhi.' With this funding, we will move ahead on key projects that will directly benefit the people of the city,' Gupta said. She emphasized that the Delhi government is committed to completing these projects in a timely, transparent, and high-quality manner. Among the projects to be implemented with this funding are initiatives under health, education, water supply, housing, and the ongoing MRTS (Mass Rapid Transit System) Phase-4. Gupta also acknowledged the ongoing support from the Centre, stating that the 'double engine government' — referring to cooperative governance between the state and central leadership, has consistently contributed to Delhi's development. In recent statements, Gupta outlined her administration's commitment to expanding health services and digital healthcare access. Over 93 lakh Ayushman Bharat Digital Health ID cards have already been issued in Delhi, enabling residents to share medical records digitally with hospitals and doctors. The government has also set a target of opening more than 1,100 'Ayushman Arogya Mandirs' by March 2026 to strengthen local healthcare access.

Karnataka HC quashes plea against Congress MP Dr Prabha Mallikarjun's LS seat
DAVANAGERE: The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday rejected the election petition filed by BJP candidate Gayatri Siddeshwar, seeking annulment of the Parliamentary seat of Davanagere Congress Lok Sabha member Dr Prabha Mallikarjun, who won it in the last general election. A single-judge bench of Justice MI Arun delivered the verdict, while rejecting the petition filed by Gayatri, who alleged that the seat was won by luring voters. Gayatri had filed a petition in the HC seeking annulment of Prabha's election, alleging that she had won illegally by luring voters through the guarantee schemes. The defeated BJP candidate alleged that Prabha had promised to give Rs 1 lakh per year to women by distributing Congress guarantee cards to the voters. This is against Sections 123(1), 123(2), 123(4) and 123(6) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, and she alleged that Prabha won the polls through irregularities and bribery, hence her victory should be declared invalid. Advocate Prashant R Gowder, who appeared for the MP, said the promises and guarantees given to voters in the election manifesto cannot be called a lure. Hence, the application of the defeated candidate is fit for rejection. The HC accepted the argument and upheld his request.
