President Droupadi Murmu to visit Kuno National Park and review cheetah reintroduction project

June 22, 2026


President Droupadi Murmu will visit Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh’s Sheopur district today. During her visit, she will go on a safari in the park from 6:30 AM to 8 AM and review the progress of the cheetah reintroduction project. She will also interact with members of the Sahariya tribe who work as Cheetah Mitras, cheetah trackers, local forest staff and tourist guides to learn about their experiences and role in the project.

 

After the visit, the President will leave Sheopur for Gwalior and later return to New Delhi on a special Indian Air Force aircraft.

 

Earlier yesterday, President Murmu was welcomed at Kuno National Park by Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel, district in-charge minister Rakesh Shukla, Member of Parliament Shivmangal Singh Tomar and senior forest department officials.

 

The President visited the Cheetah Command and Control Centre and viewed an exhibition on the cheetah project. Officials informed her that India currently has 52 cheetahs, of which 49 are in Kuno National Park, while three have been shifted to the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary. She was also briefed about the monitoring and tracking system used for the animals.

 

Officials told the President that water points have been developed every two kilometres inside the forest to support the cheetahs, and water is supplied whenever required. She was also informed about the activities and adaptation process of cheetahs brought from Botswana and Namibia.

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched India’s ambitious cheetah reintroduction project in 2022 by releasing eight cheetahs brought from Namibia into Kuno National Park on his birthday. Later, more cheetahs were brought from South Africa and Botswana. Due to conservation and breeding efforts, the cheetah population in Kuno has been steadily increasing, which is considered a major achievement of the project.

India must become a global leader in AI, not just a consumer: Mukesh Ambani

June 21, 2026


Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani on Friday said artificial intelligence and energy self-sufficiency must become national missions, describing them as critical to India’s journey towards becoming a developed nation.

Addressing shareholders at Reliance Industries’ 49th Annual General Meeting, Ambani said India should move beyond being a consumer of emerging technologies and emerge as a creator and global leader in AI.

“I firmly believe that India should not be a mere consumer of AI created elsewhere. It must become a creator, adopter and a global leader in AI,” he said.

Emphasising the strategic importance of technology and energy independence, Ambani said maximum energy self-sufficiency and AI self-sufficiency are essential for achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat.

He said Reliance is accelerating investments in artificial intelligence and new energy businesses, which are expected to drive the group’s next phase of growth while contributing to national development.

As part of its AI strategy, Ambani highlighted Reliance Intelligence, which he described as the company’s newest growth engine aimed at building a profitable AI infrastructure, platform and services business for consumers, enterprises and governments.

According to Ambani, Reliance has already laid the groundwork for its AI ambitions through partnerships with global technology companies including Google, Meta and Nvidia, and is now entering the execution phase.

Drawing parallels with Reliance Jio’s role in expanding broadband connectivity, he said the company’s next mission is to make artificial intelligence accessible to everyone.

“A decade ago, Jio promised broadband connectivity to everyone, everywhere, and we delivered on that promise. Today, Reliance Intelligence promises AI to everyone, everywhere, and we shall deliver on this promise too,” he said.

Ambani urged young innovators to develop inclusive and responsible AI solutions that are affordable and accessible in Indian languages, and that empower farmers, students, doctors, workers, creators and businesses while creating employment opportunities.

Reliance’s long-term growth strategy also includes substantial investments in new energy businesses aimed at strengthening India’s energy security and supporting the transition to cleaner and sustainable sources of energy.

Providing further details on the group’s AI roadmap, Reliance Jio Infocomm Chairman Akash Ambani said the company is building sovereign AI capabilities at scale.

“This capacity places Reliance amongst the largest AI infrastructure platforms being built anywhere in the world,” he said, underlining the company’s ambition to establish one of the world’s largest AI infrastructure ecosystems from India. (ANI)

PM Modi commissions three indigenous naval warships, says maritime strength key to Viksit Bharat

June 21, 2026



Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday commissioned three indigenous naval warships – Agray, INS Dunagiri and INS Sanshodhak – in Kolkata, describing the event as a major milestone in India’s journey towards self-reliance, maritime strength and the vision of a developed nation.

Addressing the Tri-Commissioning Ceremony in Kolkata, PM Modi said the induction of the three naval warships reflected India’s growing capabilities in defence manufacturing and maritime security. He emphasised that all three vessels were designed and built in India, showcasing the country’s engineering expertise, industrial capacity and skilled workforce.

“A country is powerful when it is Atmanirbhar,” the Prime Minister said, adding that India is preparing itself for a self-reliant and developed future by strengthening its maritime capabilities.

Highlighting the strategic importance of the seas, PM Modi noted that maritime power is closely linked to a nation’s development, security and prosperity. He said global trade, data connectivity, critical minerals and future energy resources are increasingly dependent on the oceans, making maritime strength a key determinant of economic and strategic influence.

“The world is witness to the fact that no nation can become a major power without maritime capabilities. The sea is linked to development, security, and prosperity,” he said.

The Prime Minister said the commissioning of INS Agray, INS Dunagiri and INS Sanshodhak marked another chapter in India’s maritime journey that began with the commissioning of the indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. He described the three vessels as symbols of India’s commitment to self-reliance, innovation and indigenous defence production.

Stressing the government’s focus on domestic manufacturing, PM Modi said India no longer wishes to remain merely a buyer in the global defence market.

“Today, India no longer wants to remain a mere buyer in the defense sector. Our military power cannot become a market for the world. My strength is not determined by being a global market; the strength of my power is determined by my self-reliance. India wants to be a manufacturer. And the day we become manufacturers, we will also be decision makers,” he said.

The Prime Minister revealed that more than 40 Made-in-India warships and submarines have joined the Indian Navy in recent years, while 45 major naval warships are currently under construction. He said this demonstrated the rapid expansion of India’s defence-industrial base and its growing technological capabilities.

PM Modi also highlighted the economic potential of the maritime sector, describing it as a major employment generator. He noted that shipbuilding supports a vast ecosystem involving steel, electronics, machinery and thousands of ancillary components, creating jobs across industries.

“India’s maritime sector has the potential to create millions of new jobs in the coming years. We see it as the employment engine of a developed India,” he said.

PM Modi pointed out that more than 200 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) contributed to the construction of the three naval warships commissioned on Sunday, generating significant employment opportunities.

He said the government has launched a new vision for the shipbuilding sector, supported by policy reforms and measures to boost domestic manufacturing. Shipbuilding, ship repair, ship recycling and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities are now being pursued as a national mission, he added.

Referring to the ₹70,000-crore stimulus package announced for the shipping sector, PM Modi said the initiative was an investment in India’s maritime future and industrial expansion.

He also highlighted efforts to modernise ports, expand river waterways and strengthen multimodal logistics networks through initiatives such as Sagarmala, aimed at reducing trade costs and creating new opportunities in coastal regions.

On defence manufacturing, the Prime Minister said India has made significant progress since 2014, when the government prioritised self-reliance in the sector. He noted that India’s annual defence production has increased from around ₹40,000 crore in 2014 to nearly ₹1.8 lakh crore today.

Defence exports have also witnessed substantial growth, rising from around ₹700 crore before 2014 to approximately ₹40,000 crore at present, with Indian-made defence equipment now reaching more than 80 countries.

“There’s still much to be done on the journey to self-reliance. I think this is just the beginning,” PM Modi said, while expressing confidence in India’s future trajectory.

The Prime Minister also underscored West Bengal’s historic maritime significance and its potential to play a key role in India’s emerging blue economy. He said the state possesses the ports, industries, talent and skills needed to become a major hub for maritime manufacturing, logistics and coastal development.

“India is moving towards a new maritime era. West Bengal will play a crucial role in this,” he said.

Concluding his address, PM Modi said India has always viewed the seas as a medium of cooperation but recognises that strength is essential for preserving peace and safeguarding prosperity.

“Security is essential for safeguarding prosperity. And self-reliance is essential for building the future,” he said, adding that the newly commissioned naval warships symbolise a confident India that believes in its capabilities and is moving forward with renewed determination in the 21st century.

Rani Durgavati continues to inspire Indian women, will remain a source of inspiration: President Murmu

June 21, 2026



President Droupadi Murmu today attended the 36th Convocation Ceremony of Rani Durgavati University in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. On the occasion, she awarded gold medals to meritorious students from different faculties. Madhya Pradesh Governor and Chancellor Mangubhai Patel, Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav and Higher Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar were also present at the ceremony.
 
Addressing the gathering, the President said that Rani Durgavati, after whom the university is named, was a symbol of courage, bravery and valour. She said that Rani Durgavati continues to inspire Indian women and will remain a source of inspiration for future generations.
 
President Murmu said that a large tribal population lives in the areas surrounding the university. She urged people associated with the university to work for the empowerment of tribal communities, disadvantaged groups and especially young girls.
 
She said that tribal communities are self-respecting and often do not speak openly about their problems. In such a situation, educated young people should stay connected with their villages and communities and help spread awareness about government schemes and opportunities.
 
The President said that the goal of building a developed India by 2047 can be achieved only when the benefits of development reach every section of society and every individual. She added that education is the most effective tool for the development of both individuals and society. Therefore, continuous efforts should be made for the education and overall development of tribal communities.
 
On June 22, President Murmu is scheduled to visit Kuno National Park, where she will interact with members of the Sahariya tribe, cheetah trackers and the park’s field team.

Government restricts institutional and commercial buyers from buying fuel from retail pumps

June 12, 2026

 


The government has restricted institutional, industrial, and commercial customers from buying Motor Spirit and High-Speed Diesel from retail outlets and has asked them to source their requirements from their own consumer pumps.

 

The decision has been taken to prevent local shortages amid disruptions in global supply chains caused by the ongoing crisis in West Asia.

 

Motor Spirit and High-Speed Diesel are essential commodities, and uninterrupted availability at fair prices is critical for transportation of goods and passengers, agricultural operations, emergency services, and national security.

 

In a notification, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry said the restrictions will be in place for up to 90 days. Retail outlets have been directed to sell up to 200 litres of High-Speed Diesel to a customer per day to prevent bulk purchase.

 

The government said the restrictions were necessary to prevent hoarding and maintain uninterrupted fuel supplies at fair prices. The Ministry added that many states have sought prevention of such practices, as they are causing inconvenience to retail customers and farmers.

 

It said the order is a temporary measure to curb practices that unscrupulous elements are resorting to during the crisis. It has asked Oil Marketing Companies and retail outlet dealers to ensure compliance with the order.
