By Aysha*  India proudly narrates its digital revolution to the world—data-driven governance, app-based service delivery, real-time dashboards, and claims of greater transparency and efficiency. Yet beneath this celebratory narrative lies an uncomfortable truth: millions of children continue to suffer from malnutrition. This is not simply a matter of food scarcity.

By Jag Jivan   The first page image of the paper "Corona Virus Killed by Sound Vibrations Produced by Thali or Ghanti: A Potential Hypothesis" published in the Journal of Molecular Pharmaceuticals and Regulatory Affairs , Vol. 2, Issue 2 (2020), has gone viral on social media in the wake of the controversy surrounding a Chinese robot presented by the Galgotias University as its original product at the just-concluded AI summit in Delhi .

By Dr. Jayant Kumar*  On February 19th, I found myself caught in an unusually long traffic jam in Delhi. Several roads had been closed due to VIP movement linked to the ongoing AI Summit in the city.
