Five years later, a family found their daughter again. Mamta, around 32, was found unconscious in Una, #HimachalPradesh, on 30 May 2021. At the time, she could not communicate or recall details that could help trace her family. She was subsequently placed under institutional care at Shakti Sadan, Lunapani, Mandi, where she received care and counselling. Over the years, her memory gradually returned. She was eventually able to share a few details about her family, including her parents’ names and that she was from Kapurthala, #Punjab. Those details gave a direction to the search. After nearly five years, her family was finally traced. A video call followed, bringing Mamta and her family together on screen after all these years. The smiles, tears and emotions in that moment say it all. We are grateful to @SamritikaN (SDM Balh) for her continued efforts to see this through, @ruma_devi, Associate Professor (@PAU_LDH), for taking the search forward, and Dr. Parminder Singh for his efforts in Kapurthala that helped trace and identify Mamta’s family. After nearly five years, Mamta and her family finally found each other again. #IndiaCares
After nearly 5 years, we have finally traced the family of Mamta, who was staying at Shakti Sadan, Lunapani. ❤️ Today, she reconnected with her family in Punjab. A truly emotional and fulfilling moment! 🙏 @itsmesabita @indiacares_2020 #FamilyReunion #ShaktiSadan #Mandi

वैसे तो मैं भाजपा और ओवैसी को एक ही कट्टरपंथी सोच का मानता हूं। लेकिन आज ओवैसी सही बात कह गए। बाबर के देश ने भी आज मोदी जी को अपना सर्वोच्च अवार्ड दे दिया🤡 ये तो गजबे हो गया😂😜 7.8% GDP #JharkhandWithMMDR #RajasthanKePremJi #Badariya2026

What if researchers could publish high-quality research directly online, without expensive journal fees? If the science is rigorous and transparent, shouldn’t the research—not the journal—be what matters? Is this the future of scientific publishing? #OpenScience

They call me ‘Queen of Millets’ says Raimati Ghiuria, a tribal farmer from Odisha, who has preserved 30 rare millet varieties and 72 indigenous rice varieties. She has also empowered hundreds of women along the way.

दिल्ली के रामलीला मैदान में #OPS की मांग को लेकर इतनी बड़ी रैली हुई लेकिन देश के चैनलों से ये कवरेज गायब क्यों है ? मोदी सरकार के लिए गले की हड्डी बनने वाला है पुरानी पेंशन स्कीम का मुद्दा ?

ये सरकारी कर्मियों का सैलाब है…#पुरानी_पेंशन की माँग के लिए जिस तरह की कर्मचारी एकता, दिल्ली के #रामलीला_मैदान में देखने को मिल रही है, वह इस बात का सबूत है कि 2024 में कोई भी राजनीतिक दल, #OPS के मुद्दे पर सरकारी कर्मियों की नाराजगी मोल लेने का जोखिम नहीं उठाएगा।#Old_pension

VIDEO | “We had given a call to bring back the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) and we had successfully brought back the OPS in several states with our struggle. Our team believed that if the Central government ratifies this (OPS), then the onus won’t be on the state government. This is why we had come to Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan (to protest),” says National Movement For Old Pension Scheme (NMOPS) leader Vijay Kumar Bandhu.
