Min: Follow Sikkim model of organic farming in state
1 2 3 Ranchi: State agriculture minister Shilpi Neha Tirkey on Saturday asked Organic Farming Authority of Jharkhand (OFAJ) to prepare a focussed work plan to boost this sector and encouraging farmers towards it. Citing how Sikkim has carved a niche for itself, Tirkey said Jharkhand too has immense potential to grow in the sector and help farmer's grow their incomes. Speaking at the maiden buyer-seller meet at a city hotel, she said, "There is a vast market for organic products in the country, with a potential growth of up to 20% in the next decade. It is crucial to understand where Jharkhand stands in this race." The event was organised by OFAJ under the state agriculture department, which was attended by representatives of companies from Kenya and various other Indian states. Tirkey said, "This event marks the beginning of Jharkhand's renewed push towards organic farming by providing a platform to connect buyers with Jharkhand's organic products and producers, and the govt." She added, "Sikkim has registered itself as an organic state, and other states are also doing commendable work in this direction. Jharkhand too must focus on this sector. OFAJ and agriculture department should prepare SOPs and work plans in this regard now. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Organic products should not remain confined to farmers' homes but should be marketed to maximize economic benefits. In a state like Jharkhand, where there are various land constraints, such small industries could be beneficial for strengthening farmers economically. " State agriculture department secretary Aboobacker Siddiqui added that organic farming is also crucial for preserving the environment and soil fertility. "For farmers, organic products offer a better economic option, as they fetch higher prices in the market compared to other products. The need is better packaging and making products available in the right markets," he said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Meet Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani's badi bahu's sister, dazzles in diamonds and emeralds, even beats sister Shloka in jewellery collection, her name is…
The Ambani family is always in the spotlight when it comes to wealth, power, and fame. Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, is not only India's richest man, but one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of over USD 110 billion. Whether it's their lavish homes, extravagant parties, or significant business decisions, every time the Ambani family makes a decision, it gets a lot of attention. One particular event that made headlines was the extravagant marriage of Akash Ambani to Shloka Mehta. Shloka Mehta is the daughter of major diamond player, Russell Mehta, who is the founder of Rosy Blue, one of India's largest Diamond companies. Shloka has been very much in the public eye but her cousin Ashna Mehta has been quietly making a name for herself in a far different way. Instead of taking HER PLACE in family business or big enterprise, Ashna pursued a creative enterprise. She has built a reputation as a fine jewellery designer and has made beautiful and opulent pieces of jewellery that have decorated the red carpets of Hollywood. Unlike the Ambani women, who seem to wear a hat as a chairman of a corporate board or another as a philanthropist, Ashna has made a name for her own and used HER love of design into a now successful global career – modestly, and without the onslaught of publicity, media or social media attention.

Indian Diaspora welcomes PM Modi's G7 visit as a chance to reset ties with Canada
New Jersey [US], June 14 (ANI): Global Indian Diaspora Alliance President HS Panesar has welcomed the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 Summit, calling it a pivotal moment to reset and rebuild Indo-Canadian relations. 'As of June 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's participation in the G7 Summit, hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Carney, is being widely viewed by the Indian diaspora and global observers as a crucial opportunity to address and improve the recent strain in bilateral ties,' Paneser said in an exclusive conversation. He noted that the prevailing sentiment within the diaspora is one of cautious optimism. 'This G7 Summit offers a significant chance to move past the recent diplomatic chill, which largely stemmed from allegations made by the previous Canadian government. The invitation extended by Prime Minister Carney is seen as an olive branch -- a symbolic and strategic soft restart to the relationship,' he added. Paneser emphasised the strong foundation shared by India and Canada, especially in trade, critical minerals, technology, and academic exchange. 'Both countries have much to gain from strengthened cooperation. There is a growing desire to focus on mutual interests and respect. The deep-rooted people-to-people ties -- especially the presence of a large Indian student population and a vibrant diaspora in Canada -- form a solid foundation for this renewed engagement,' said Paneser. He further lauded PM Modi's consistent emphasis on maintaining cordial international relations. 'The fact that PM Modi has been invited to the G7, despite India not being a member, underscores India's rising global stature as the world's most populous country and fourth-largest economy,' Paneser remarked. The Global Indian Diaspora Alliance views the invitation as recognition of India's pivotal role in global supply chains and its increasing importance in the world economy. 'We see this visit as a pivotal moment to rebuild trust, enhance cooperation, and usher in a more constructive and mutually beneficial phase in Indo-Canadian relations,' he said. 'In the spirit of progress and partnership, we, the members of the Indian diaspora, wholeheartedly welcome this positive move and hope it marks the beginning of better days for both nations,' Paneser concluded. PM Modi will pay an official visit to Cyprus, Canada and Croatia from June 15-19, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Saturday. According to MEA, PM Modi will visit Cyprus on June 15-16, followed by participation in the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, on June 16-17, and finally, an official visit to Croatia on June 18. During the second leg of his visit, at the invitation of Canadian PM Mark Carney, PM Modi will travel to Kananaskis in Canada on June 16-17 to participate in the G7 Summit. This would be PM Modi's 6th consecutive participation in the G7 Summit, according to the MEA statement. At the Summit, PM Modi will exchange views with leaders of G7 countries, other invited outreach countries and Heads of International Organisations on crucial global issues, including energy security, technology and innovation, particularly the AI-energy nexus and Quantum-related issues. PM Modi will also hold several bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the Summit. (ANI)
