Sudarshan Chakra
Defense is very much needed by a country. How a country is able to defend itself during enemy strikes is pivotal to it becoming a global power. The defense of India as nation is well known fact.
In a big leap towards strengthening the defense of country,  India will build a ‘Sudarshan Chakra’, a ‘multi-layered framework’ to integrate advanced surveillance, cyber protection, and physical safeguards to protect its citizens and infrastructure from enemy strikes, terrorist or otherwise, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on the eve of independence day.
As a matter of fact ,
This new defensive blanket will be similar to Israel’s much-vaunted Iron Dome and the United States’ proposed Golden Dome – in that it will act as a missile defence shield.
By 2035, I want to expand, strengthen, and modernise this shield. Drawing inspiration from Lord Krishna, we have chosen the path of the Sudarshan Chakra… the entire system should be researched, developed, and manufactured in India, PM Modi said in his independence day speech.
Expert pulse is delighted with overall contours of Sudarshan Chakra.
The Sudarshan Chakra Mission aims to create a robust defense system, integrating advanced surveillance, cyber protection, and physical safeguards to protect India’s citizens and critical infrastructure. With a focus on indigenous development and manufacturing, this initiative will boost India’s self-reliance in defense and enhance national security capabilities significantly by 2035.
We are proud that India is now having such robust and effective defense system.

We need to bear in mind that in  today’s world digital landscape, cyber frauds have become increasingly sophisticated, posing a significant threat to individuals and organizations alike. As we continue to rely on technology for various aspects of our lives, it’s essential to remain cautious and proactive in protecting ourselves from these threats.
This calls for utmost caution especially from those who have less digital knowledge.
The rise of online transactions, social media, and digital communication has created an environment where cybercriminals can thrive. From phishing attacks to identity theft, the methods employed by these fraudsters are diverse and constantly evolving. It’s crucial for individuals to be aware of these risks and take necessary precautions to safeguard their personal and financial information.
One of the most effective ways to combat cyber frauds is through education and awareness. By understanding the common tactics used by cybercriminals, individuals can better protect themselves from falling victim to these scams. This includes being cautious when clicking on links or providing sensitive information online, using strong and unique passwords, and regularly updating software and security systems.
Moreover, organizations must also prioritize cybersecurity, implementing robust measures to protect their systems and customer data.

Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan, Editorial, 19 May, 2025 issue .

Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan
The attention towards problems faced by persons with disabilities is cornerstone of progress of any nation.
Nearly ten years ago, the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan, also known as the Accessible India Campaign, embarked on a mission to reshape India into a truly inclusive society. Launched on 3rd December 2015 by the Honourable Prime Minister, this flagship initiative was a direct response to the long-overlooked challenges faced by persons with disabilities. Rooted in the vision of “Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas,” the campaign aimed to ensure universal accessibility across three vital domains: built infrastructure, transport systems, and the information and communication technology (ICT) ecosystem.
India, as a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), had committed to creating an accessible environment for persons with disabilities. Yet, prior to 2015, efforts lacked a cohesive strategy or enforceable timelines. The Persons with Disabilities Act of 1995, though welfare-oriented, did not adequately address accessibility issues or empower persons with disabilities to demand their rights. Recognising this gap, the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan was launched to bring accessibility to the forefront of national development.
The campaign introduced a structured approach, focusing on making public buildings, transport networks like buses and trains, and digital platforms accessible to Divyangjans. It also sought to create awareness and set enforceable standards for accessibility compliance. Although initially planned to conclude by March 2024, the campaign’s objectives have been absorbed into the Creation of Barrier-Free Environment Scheme under the broader umbrella of the
 Scheme for Implementation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (SIPDA). This transition reinforces the idea that accessibility is a continuous endeavour, requiring sustained efforts to meet evolving challenges.
As the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan marked ots ninth year, it stands as a milestone in India’s journey towards fulfilling its commitment to an inclusive and equitable society, where every individual can thrive without barriers.
Campaign Achievements are many.
The Accessible India Campaign has achieved significant milestones in creating an inclusive environment for persons with disabilities over the past nine years, with improvements spanning built infrastructure, transportation, digital platforms, education, and media accessibility. From retrofitting thousands of government buildings and transport facilities to developing sign language training and ensuring accessible TV content, the campaign has laid the groundwork for universal accessibility in India.

War Destroys Humanity, 12 May , 2025 issue

War destroys Humanity
War is biggest enemy of human values and humanity.
The Devastating Impact of War on Humanity are known.
War, a brutal and destructive phenomenon, has plagued humanity throughout history, leaving deep scars on individuals, communities, and nations. The consequences of war are far-reaching and multifaceted, affecting every aspect of human life.
The most immediate and devastating impact of war is the loss of human life. Innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, are often caught in the crossfire, suffering unimaginable trauma and pain. The destruction of infrastructure, including homes, schools, and hospitals, further exacerbates human suffering, leaving survivors without access to basic necessities.
War also has a profound psychological impact on those who experience it. Soldiers and civilians alike are often left with lasting emotional scars, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. The trauma can be passed down through generations, perpetuating cycles of violence and revenge.
Furthermore, war disrupts social and economic structures, leading to displacement, poverty, and food insecurity. Refugees are forced to flee their homes, seeking safety in foreign lands, often facing xenophobia and hostility. The economic costs of war are staggering, diverting resources away from essential public services and towards military spending.
The impact of war on humanity extends beyond the immediate conflict zone. Global instability and terrorism are often fueled by the consequences of war, creating a ripple effect that can be felt worldwide.
In conclusion, the impact of war on humanity is profound and far-reaching. It is our collective responsibility to promote peace, understanding, and diplomacy, working towards a world where conflicts are resolved through dialogue and cooperation. Only through concerted efforts can we hope to mitigate the devastating effects of war and build a more peaceful and harmonious world. By prioritizing human life and dignity, we can create a brighter future for all.
