Beyond Free Grain
Did you know a government press note on 21 August 2025 extended fortified rice to 2028 with ₹17,082 crore, but NFHS-5-based analyses still find only about 11% of Indian toddlers receive a minimum acceptable diet? How can menus and THR bridge that gap? PMGKAY has made NFSA grain free for five years since 1 January 2024, yet NFHS-5 reports 67.1% anemia in children and 52.2% in pregnant women. Can Anemia Mukt Bharat’s IFA adherence shift these numbers fast enough? A 2025 evaluation shared by the American Economic Association links NFSA transfers to lower stunting in studied states. Will new Poshan Tracker verification—from Aadhaar eKYC to face recognition—convert entitlements into consistent, nutrient-dense meals on the ground?

Article 370 Explained
Did you know the Election Commission reported overall polling-station turnout above 60 percent in the 2024 J&K assembly polls—after a decade without an assembly?

India’s Health Indicators
Did you know India’s last wild polio case was stopped in early 2011 and the region was certified polio-free in 2014—using micro-plans that mapped every settlement?

Essential Medicines and Price Regulation
Did you know India’s 2022 essential list cut average prices by about 17 percent yet 2025 ceilings still moved with a 1.74 percent WPI tweak? How do knee implant caps—first imposed in 2017 and extended again in 2025—continue to hold down surgery bills without shrinking supply? If Jan Aushadhi crossed five-figure store counts and recorded record monthly sales in late 2024, what would wider district coverage do to out-of-pocket costs on essential medicines in 2025?
