Bhubaneswar: CM Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday highlighted key achievements of his govt and reiterated his commitment to a 'prosperous Odisha' through transparent and accountable governance, during a meeting with BJP MPs and MLAs here on Sunday.
Marking the anniversary of BJP's historic election win on June 4, 2024, and the formation of its first govt in Odisha on June 12, Majhi emphasised the past year was a period of laying strong foundations for inclusive growth and reforms.
"From the farmer in the field to the student in the classroom, we made a commitment to empower every citizen. We knew expectations were high and that comparisons with the previous govt were inevitable.
That is why, within 24 minutes of our first cabinet meeting, we took four historic decisions," Majhi said.
He said the govt's vision for a 'prosperous Odisha' was built on four key pillars — livelihood and employment, infrastructure development, social security and welfare, and cultural pride through 'Odia Asmita'. He emphasised these priorities were shaped around four core communities — poor, farmers, youth and women — in line with the central govt's focus areas.

He also said that efforts are being made to make Haryana free from drug abuse through cyclothons, marathons, and incentives for villages that stay drug-free.

Today, on the occasion of Yoga Day, we said 'Yoga Yukt aur Nasha Mukt' Haryana,' Saini said. Yoga Guru Ramdev said that yoga has become a mass movement and should be a part of everyone's daily life.

Delhi CM performs yoga with students and boat club members on boats in Yamuna, hits out at AAP for ignoring river cleaning
New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta participated in the International Yoga Day celebrations organised at the Yamuna river on Saturday, joining the students and the boat club members as part of the nationwide effort to promote Yoga. CM Gupta also reiterated the promise of cleaning the Yamuna while also hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party for ignoring the river. 'For years, Yamuna has been ignored by the governments that have been in power; they didn't do the work that should have been done. But, we are continuing our efforts to clean the river Yamuna since we assumed power in Delhi... Today, from the bank of this river, we participate in Yoga to give a message to the people of Delhi that the work is ongoing to clean the river. Soon, there will be cruises here where the boats are,' the Delhi CM told reporters here. The CM also took a sarcastic jibe at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, saying that it cannot be helped if the latter associates Yoga with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'If he (Arvind Kejriwal) sees PM Modi's face in yoga, what can we do? It is possible that after seeing something in the food, he might stop eating. After seeing the BJP's government in Delhi, he left Delhi,' the CM said. Visuals from the event showed students performing Yoga right on the Yamuna river on platforms and boats, showing their flexibility and their knowledge of Yoga. Multiple other party leaders, including Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, attended the Yoga Day celebrations at the banks of the Yamuna. The International Day of Yoga (IDY) is celebrated on June 21. This year marks the 11th International Day of Yoga with the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health', which echoes a vital truth that personal wellness and planetary health are inseparably linked. Earlier, PM Modi took part in the celebrations, where he hailed yoga as a gift 'beyond age' that transcends all boundaries and unites humanity in 'health and harmony.' Over three lakh individuals joined him for a mass yoga session in the coastal city, reinforcing this year's message that 'yoga belongs to everyone' and brings the world together. According to a United Nations statement, yoga strengthens the body, calms the mind, and fosters a heightened sense of awareness and responsibility in daily life. This mindfulness allows one to choose healthier and more sustainable lifestyles. In 2014, the United Nations declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga by resolution 69/131. The draft resolution establishing the International Day of Yoga was proposed by India and endorsed by a record 175 member states. PM Modi first introduced the proposal in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the General Assembly. (ANI)

Global shame! India tops WADA doping list; sports ministry plans stricter actions
Representational image New Delhi: India continues to grapple with a severe doping problem, as highlighted in the latest report from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada). According to recently released 2023 testing figures, India has again been ranked first worldwide for the highest number of dope offenders. Out of 5606 urine and blood samples collected, 214 adverse analytical findings (AAFs) were reported, putting the country's positivity rate for prohibited substances at 3.8 per cent. This reflects a rise compared to 2022, when 3865 tests yielded an AAF rate of 3.2 percent. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! These developments have led authorities to revive the 'National Anti-Doping Bill 2022' with an aim to stamp out the doping menace. An amended version of the bill is set to be introduced in an upcoming session of Parliament. Sources indicate that the sports ministry, after taking on board Wada's suggestions, is moving forward with crucial changes in the bill. Notably, the plan to create a statutory 'National Board for Anti-Doping in Sports' comprising a chairman and two members has been scrapped due to concerns it would have led to increased govt interference. Following Wada's strong objection, the bill no longer criminalises athlete's involvement with organised doping syndicates, a clause that had previously allowed for imprisonment up to four years or a fine of Rs 10 lakh for offenders. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Dominant India on Day 1!

It went to the Rajya Sabha on July 28, 2022 and was passed on Aug 3, 2022. Now, under the guidance of sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya , a revised version is ready for fresh introduction. Ministry officials said, 'The bill is ready and will be brought back to the Parliament after a restructuring. Objections raised by Wada have been addressed and required changes made. If these were not incorporated, Wada could have suspended Nada due to govt interference.' According to the 2023 Wada data, athletics continued to shame the country's anti-doping efforts, accounting for 61 AAFs from 1223 tested samples, including 567 in-competition and 539 out-of-competition urine samples, plus 117 blood samples. One AAF emerged from a blood sample. Weightlifting produced 38 AAFs from 451 samples, with powerlifting and wrestling contributing 28 and 10 AAFs, respectively. Quiz: Who's that IPL player?
