Malabar Group earmarks ₹150 crore for CSR in FY26
Malabar Group, the parent company of Malabar Gold & Diamonds, said it has allocated ₹150 crore in 2025-26 for scaling up its CSR initiatives focused on healthcare, education, hunger & poverty alleviation, women empowerment, environment protection and housing for less privileged.
Under its 'The Hunger Free World' initiative, the group has committed to distribute 70,000 meals daily in India and Zambia to the under-privileged, totalling 2.50 crore meals in 2025-26.
'This represents a significant leap from the cumulative achievement of 2.5 crore meals served over the past three years and signals a deepened commitment to the cause of food security for underserved communities,' the group said.
The initiative is aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 2 - Zero Hunger.
M.P. Ahammed, Chairman, Malabar Group said, 'CSR is an integral part of our culture and we believe in giving back to society. We dedicate May 28 as our annual CSR day; we reaffirm our pledge to stand with the underserved through sustained and impactful action.'
'Our CSR initiatives are a reflection of that enduring commitment. While we are doing our utmost, a greater impact can be achieved if more organisations join this mission. With 295 million people globally facing acute hunger (as per UN data), immediate action is non-negotiable,' he said.
'This urgency drives our meal distribution efforts under the Hunger Free World initiative. Having said that, along with food distribution, the need of the hour is concerted efforts to boost production, creating jobs, and fostering economic growth to bring in sustainable change,' he added.

Iran one step from using enriched uranium for nukes: UN watchdog report
Iran has significantly expanded its stockpile of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels, according to a confidential report by the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), seen by the Associated Press. The IAEA also urged Tehran to urgently alter its course and cooperate with the agency's long-running investigation into its nuclear IAEA report, released Saturday, arrives at a diplomatically delicate moment. US President Donald Trump is reportedly seeking a deal with Tehran to rein in its nuclear program, but several rounds of negotiations between the two sides have so far failed to yield a to news agency AP, the Vienna-based IAEA reported that as of May 17, Iran had amassed 408.6 kilograms (900.8 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60 per cent. This marks an increase of 133.8 kilograms (294.9 pounds) — nearly per cent, since the agency's previous quarterly report in February. The AP notes that '60 per cent enriched material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90 per cent.'WHAT'S INSIDE THE REPORT The report emphasised that Iran is now 'the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce such material,' which the agency described as a matter of 'serious concern.' The IAEA also pointed out that 'approximately 42 kilograms of 60 per cent enriched uranium is theoretically enough to produce one atomic bomb, if enriched further to 90 per cent.'Citing the IAEA from a confidential report, the BBC reported that Iran saw an alarming 50 per cent increase in uranium enriched to 60 per cent purity in the last three watchdog further estimated that Iran's total stockpile of enriched uranium, including lower enrichment levels, had reached 9,247.6 kilograms (20,387.4 pounds), reflecting an increase of 953.2 kilograms (2,101.4 pounds) since Iran continues to assert that its nuclear program is purely peaceful, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has warned that the stockpile is sufficient to produce 'several' nuclear bombs if Iran chooses to pushed back forcefully against the report. In a joint statement, Iran's Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran rejected the findings, accusing the agency of relying on 'unreliable and differing information sources' and said the report was 'biased, unprofessional and lacking crucial, updated information.''The Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its disappointment about the report, which was prepared by imposing pressure on the agency for political purposes, and expresses its obvious objection about its content,' the statement said. It also reiterated that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a religious decree prohibiting nuclear further criticized the IAEA for failing to acknowledge the impact of the US's unilateral withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018, a decision made by the Trump administration, which Tehran sees as the root cause of the current nuclear IAEA has also raised questions about past undeclared activities at three sites believed to be part of a structured nuclear weapons program Iran allegedly ran until the early 2000s. The agency said these sites may have involved the use of undeclared nuclear diplomatic efforts continue. Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, who is mediating talks between Washington and Tehran, was in Tehran over the weekend to deliver a new US proposal, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X. The fifth round of US-Iran talks, held in Rome last week, showed 'some but not conclusive progress,' according to inputs from Associated Press

United Nations To Cut 20% Jobs Amid Fund Crunch. Is Trump's America To Blame?
Last Updated: According to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, UN resources over at least the past 7 years have been shrinking, as not all member states pay yearly dues & many don't pay on time The United Nations (UN) seems to be no stranger to the global affliction with cost cutting. Over 60 UN offices, agencies, and operations have been instructed to submit plans by mid-June to reduce their staff by 20 per cent in an effort to consolidate operations amid a severe funding shortfall. The Associated Press quoted UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric as saying that the cuts affect about 14,000 posts covered by the regular budget, or about 2,800 posts, including staff in the UN's political and humanitarian offices, and its agencies helping refugees, promoting gender equality and dealing with international trade, the environment and cities. The UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is also on the list. In a memo to the affected agencies, UN Controller Chandramouli Ramanathan said the staff cuts are part of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' goal of achieving a reduction of between 15-20 per cent in the UN's current budget of $3.72 billion. The World Food Programme (WFP) may reduce its workforce by up to 30 per cent, while the head of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) informed of plans to cut costs by 30 per cent and reduce senior-level positions by 50 per cent, according to internal memos obtained by the AP. In addition to WFP and UNHCR, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) are expected to make cuts, the report said. Reuters reported that as of May 2025, 41 member countries have not paid their full assessed contributions to the UN's regular budget. This has resulted in a projected $740 million deficit in the organisation's core $3.72 billion budget. The world's biggest economy, United States, is expected to pay 22 per cent of the regular budget, while No.2 China recently had its share raised to 20 per cent. Last year, 152 of the UN's 193 member nations paid their dues in full, including China, but 41 countries did not, including the United States. On one hand, as many countries grapple with domestic economic challenges, inflation, and post-pandemic fiscal constraints, making it harder for them to meet international financial obligations, on the other, escalating crises—from wars in Sudan, Gaza, and Ukraine, to climate emergencies and mass displacement—have placed higher demands on an already stretched budget. IS TRUMP TO BLAME? Though Guterres has denied any connection between the job cuts and the withdrawal of foreign aid by US President Donald Trump, numbers tell a different story. Trump, at the start of his second term, issued an executive order seeking a general review of all US contributions to the United Nations. What followed was his decision to not resume funding for UNRWA. He also issued an executive order halting most US foreign aid for 90 days and announced withdrawal from the World Health Organisation (WHO), stating it 'continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the United States"— a move that proved to be a body blow for the organisation. Data on the UN Chief System Executives Board for Coordination reveals that the United States has remained the largest contributor to the UN since its founding in 1945. In 2023, the United States contributed nearly $13 billion, accounting for more than a quarter of the total funding for the UN's overall budget. This is exactly why when the US reduces or delays funding, it creates immediate cash flow problems for UN agencies that depend heavily on predictable contributions to plan and sustain operations. While there's no denying the significant contribution of the US in the funding of the United Nations, 41 member states have reportedly not fulfilled their financial obligations to the UN as of May 2025, contributing to a $740 million shortfall in the regular budget. Many countries are grappling with economic slowdowns, inflation, or shifting domestic priorities, leading to broader underfunding. Structural issues within the UN funding model—for instance reliance on voluntary rather than assessed contributions for many programmes—also make the system vulnerable. WHAT CAN UN DO? The United Nations can encourage countries, especially high-income nations like the United States, to pay their dues on time and in full. It can increase transparency about the impact of delayed contributions to pressure governments and probably use forums like the G20 to urge coordinated funding support, particularly for urgent humanitarian operations. top videos View all It can introduce instruments like green bonds, social impact bonds, or climate funds to raise capital for specific programmes. The UN's fund crunch is a crisis of political will and outdated financial architecture, not just economics. By combining short-term funding recovery with long-term reforms and innovation, the UN can emerge more resilient, efficient, and capable of addressing today's global challenges. tags : Antonio Guterres donald trump news18 specials United nations United states world food programme Location : New York, United States of America (USA) First Published: May 31, 2025, 15:03 IST News explainers United Nations To Cut 20% Jobs Amid Fund Crunch.

UN seeks 20% cut in staff to help deal with a funding shortfall
UNITED NATIONS — More than 60 United Nations offices, agencies and operations have been ordered to submit proposals by mid-June to cut 20% of their staff, as part of a major reform effort to consolidate operations in the face of a critical funding crunch. The cuts affect about 14,000 posts covered by the regular budget, or about 2,800 posts, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters Friday. These include staff in the U.N.'s political and humanitarian offices, and its agencies helping refugees, promoting gender equality and dealing with international trade, the environment and cities. The U.N. agency supporting Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is also on the list. U.N. Controller Chandramouli Ramanathan said in a memo to the affected agencies that the staff cuts are part of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' goal of achieving a reduction of between 15% and 20% in the U.N.'s current budget of $3.72 billion. The cuts are part of the UN80 reform initiative launched by Guterres in March as the world body approaches its 80th anniversary later this year. The U.N. chief has dismissed any relationship with the cuts to foreign aid and other programs by U.S. President Donald Trump. Instead, he has pointed to shrinking U.N. resources over at least the past seven years as not all member states pay their yearly dues and many don't pay on time. The U.S., with the world's biggest economy, is expected to pay 22% of the regular budget, while China, with the second-largest economy, recently had its share raised to 20%. Last year, 152 of the U.N.'s 193 member nations paid their dues in full, including China, but 41 countries did not, including the United States. The controller's memo, obtained Thursday night by The Associated Press, gives advice to the heads of agencies on which posts to cut: 'Assess functions based on efficiency; Prioritize based on impact; Target redundant, overlapping or non-critical functions or roles for consolidation or abolition.' Guterres and his predecessors in past decades have struggled to reform the United Nations, which was established following World War II, and bring it into a modern era with different powers, new technology and greater global divisions. One key problem is that while the secretary-general is the U.N.'s chief executive, power rests with the 193 member nations, which have very different ideas about the U.N. and the world. The proposed cuts must be submitted to the controller by June 13. Dujarric said they will be incorporated into Guterres' proposed 2026 budget, to be adopted by the General Assembly in December. The U.N.'s 11 peacekeeping missions are financed by a separate budget, and many of its far-flung agencies and operations are funded entirely by voluntary contributions, including the Rome-based World Food Program, known as WFP. Several U.N. agencies were already planning to slash jobs or cut costs in other ways, with officials pointing to funding reductions mainly from the United States and warning that vital relief programs will be severely affected as a result. WFP is expected to cut up to 30% of its staff, and the head of the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said it would downsize its headquarters and regional offices to reduce costs by 30% and cut senior-level positions by 50%, according to internal memos obtained by the . Other agencies, including UNICEF, the U.N. children's agency, and OCHA, the U.N. humanitarian agency, have also announced or plan to make cuts.
