"Yoga builds inner strength for future challenges," says NCC Cadets in Ahmedabad ahead of International Yoga Day
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 20(ANI): Several National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets gathered in Ahmedabad on Friday to take part in a disciplined and energetic yoga session to mark the 11th International Day of Yoga. On Friday, many cadets described the ancient practice as a valuable part of their routine, helping them stay physically fit and mentally focused as they prepare for challenging roles in the defence services. Speaking to ANI, Cadet Raksha Bhadauria said, 'As NCC cadets, staying mentally and physically strong is essential for us. Yoga plays a key role in helping us build that strength from within. Today, through this practice, we are sending a collective message to adopt yoga, stay healthy, and become stronger.' Bhadauria added that yoga also prepares cadets for future responsibilities in defence. 'If we ever get posted in challenging situations, yoga will help us stay mentally fit and calm in decision-making. The preparation we get through yoga at NCC will benefit us ahead,' she said. Cadet Nandana Nair told ANI that yoga is a practical and accessible fitness practice. 'Yoga brings us peace of mind and strength. It can be done easily at home. You don't need a gym. I believe every Indian should do yoga--it's beneficial for physical health and also supports us in future roles in defence services,' Nair added. Echoing similar thoughts, Cadet Krishna said, 'As you can see, all of us cadets are celebrating the 11th International Yoga Day. Yoga not only keeps the body healthy but also brings mental peace and emotional balance. This makes it especially important for us as future defence personnel.' Speaking to ANI, Colonel GS Vidyarthi, Commanding Officer of 1 Gujarat Battalion, said,'Today, on behalf of Ahmedabad Group Headquarters NCC, we are observing International Yoga Day with the participation of nearly a thousand cadets. Yoga has always been a part of our lives, and it is encouraging to see young cadets embrace it enthusiastically. Their participation sends a strong message to society about the importance of fitness and mental well-being.' He added, 'For NCC cadets, especially those aspiring to join the armed forces, yoga builds the resilience to stay calm and make sound decisions in critical situations. A disciplined yoga routine supports both physical health and mental clarity, which are essential for the future of a healthy nation.' Around 1000 cadets from the National Cadet Corps performed Yoga in Gujarat's Ahmedabad on Friday ahead of the International Yoga Day. An invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition, Yoga has emerged as one of the most trusted means to boost physical and mental well-being. The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'yuj', meaning 'to join,' 'to yoke,' or 'to unite.' It symbolises the unity of mind and body, thought and action, restraint and fulfilment, harmony between human and nature, and a holistic approach to health and well-being. Recognising its universal appeal, on December 11, 2014, the United Nations proclaimed June 21 as the International Day of Yoga by resolution 69/131. India proposed the draft resolution establishing the International Day of Yoga, which was endorsed by a record 175 member states. Prime Minister Narendra Modi first introduced the proposal in his address during the opening of the 69th session of the General Assembly on September 27, 2014. The date of June 21 was chosen as it is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This day represents a symbolic harmony between nature and human wellness and is important in many cultures. This year marks the 11th International Day of Yoga, with the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health'. This theme echoes a vital truth about the interconnectedness of health, sustainability, and the environment, aligning with India's 'One Earth, One Family, One Future' vision highlighted during its G20 presidency. The International Day of Yoga 2025 will not just be a one-day observance--it will reflect India's enduring commitment to holistic health, environmental harmony, and global well-being. With 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health' as its guiding principle, India continues to lead the world in connecting physical fitness with mindful living. (ANI)

Good news for Tata, Adani, L&T as Modi government approves AMCA Program, fifth-generation fighter aircraft will now…, HAL plans to…
New Delhi: In a major development, the Modi government has approved the AMCA Program Execution Model, which will allow private sector companies such as Tata, Adani, and L&T to compete for the program. RKS Bhadauria, former Air Force Chief, has said that the decision to approve the AMCA Program Execution Model could be a 'setback' for HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited). However, Bhadauria also higlighted that it is a necessary step towards fostering a collaborative environment in the country's defence production sector. Under the new model, the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) will work together with both private and public sector companies to advance the AMCA program. HAL will now have to compete with companies like Tata, Adani, and L&T to manufacture the fifth-generation fighter aircraft. HAL should now work in collaboration with the private sector and should not hesitate to participate in a consortium with private companies, Bhaduria said. Should fifth-generation fighter jets be imported? Bhadauria rejected the idea of India importing fifth-generation fighter jets in the meantime, especially when Pakistan is preparing to buy aircraft like the J-20 or J-35 from China. He said that the government has placed its trust in the AMCA. Now, every possible effort must be made to push the AMCA forward quickly. He further said, 'Let Pakistan buy whatever aircraft it wants from China, be it the J-20 or the J-35. Let them. We will study them. What matters is how we deal with these threats in the meantime. There are ways to counter these threats.' 'Pakistan is likely to acquire stealth capability before us. We will have to take certain other measures so that we can detect them in some way and keep them away from our borders to prevent any attacks. If they are able to launch their cruise missiles or standoff weapons, we are capable of dealing with those weapons,' he added. This means that even if Pakistan ends up acquiring superior technology before us, we are still prepared to counter it. What does the new model say? The AMCA program will be executed by ADA in collaboration with both private and public sector companies. HAL will now have to compete with companies like Tata, Adani, and L&T. Earlier, HAL used to get this work exclusively. But that will no longer be the case. Bhadauria said that HAL should not see this as a 'setback.' Instead, it should see it as an opportunity. It should work together with the private sector and learn new technologies.

‘Just a trailer': Ex-Air Chief Marshal on India's strikes in Pak terror camps
India's Operation Sindoor, which began by targeting terror camps inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) and later inflicted severe damage on Pakistani military infrastructure following Islamabad's escalation, was just a trailer of what the country is capable of, retired Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said.'This was just a trailer of what we can actually do. Our actual response would have been multiple' times stronger, he said in an exclusive conversation with India Today India's precision strikes on critical Pakistani air bases, including Sargodha, Nur Khan, and Chunian, he stressed that every single target identified in the operation was successfully hit. 'Important point to consider and for people to know that every single target that was attempted has been achieved. So see the success rate against an adversary who was fully prepared and expecting. And this is just an indication of what would have happened if they had not stepped back,' he said. According to Bhadauria, the targets hit by India nearly 'completed the chain of critical assets' of the Pakistan Army. He noted that only Karachi remained, and the Navy was fully prepared to take that step.'It was spread out, the number of targets reduced, but a clear message across, and only the Karachi area was left where the Navy was very strongly poised. And it is just a measure of restraint shown. Otherwise, if it had kind of continued for the next night, I wouldn't have been surprised at all if Karachi was hit badly,' he the outcome of Operation Sindoor, he stressed, 'we should not have any element of doubt that as far as Operation Sindoor is concerned. It's a huge success. It is not only a success, it is an immense success'.Tune InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#India-Pakistan#Pakistan
