Simpler technology, data democratisation, capacity strengthening at all tiers of governance, and increased participation of women in the workforce are the principal areas that will propel UP into an ‘aarogya’ (healthy), inclusive, and socially advanced state.

Understanding RTX on Nvidia Graphics Cards

If you plan to play games on a PC, you’ll require a graphics card (GPU). From “Cyberpunk 2077” to “Red Dead Redemption 2” and “Palworld,” you’ll depend on video RAM from a GPU to make those experiences possible. In your search you’ll come across various names used to describe Nvidia’s flagship graphics options. Some cards carry a “Ti” suffix, such as the RTX 4060 Ti, so it’s useful to know what “Ti” actually signifies. It’s Titanium, by the way. But that’s not the only label you’ll notice.

India’s New Speed Breeding Centers to Deliver Improved Seeds Faster

India is preparing to set up five state-of-the-art seed breeding centres nationwide to promote advanced seed research and create high-yielding, disease-tolerant crop varieties, senior government sources said. India already operates two such centres at Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) units, and officials told Mint the number is likely to rise to seven by the end of this fiscal year. Seed breeding technology accelerates crop improvement by establishing controlled environmental parameters such as temperature, light intensity, and photoperiod inside chambers, enabling seed processing in a much shorter timeframe than conventional methods. The multiplication of seeds from the initial plant-breeding material

How Singapore Museums Are Redefining Cultural Experiences

On a weekend excursion with her family last year, Ms Charleen Phor found herself following behind her toddler as he enthusiastically wandered among the vibrant shophouses of yesteryear and clambered into a snug cargo hold at the Children’s Museum Singapore. In a gallery where little visitors were tracing the paths of early migrants, her son peered into a streetside barbershop and tried a multimedia game that let him clean a digital Singapore river. “I like the very open concept, where the children can explore at their own time and realise, ‘This is where I want to park myself’,” said Ms

Trump’s Ukraine Territory Claim Faces Military Reality Check

President Donald Trump’s striking assertion this week that Ukraine could recover all its territory with backing from the European Union and NATO is implausible without a significant change in the alliance’s approach to Russia’s invasion, military analysts, officials and diplomats in the area say. Still, many cautioned, major future Ukrainian successes cannot be wholly dismissed, especially if Russia’s war economy collapses and Ukraine substantially bolsters its armed forces and arsenal with help from partners including the United States — an outcome that seems unlikely as Trump shifts responsibility for supporting Kyiv to Europe. “President Trump said that Ukraine, with support

Microsoft has suspended portions of its cloud services for Israel’s Defense Ministry after uncovering evidence that they were used to monitor civilians in Gaza, intensifying tensions over one of the company’s most disputed contracts. The action came after an internal review that validated parts of a story claiming Israel had stored data from millions of Palestinian phone calls on Microsoft’s Azure cloud. A person familiar with the situation said the company is continuing its probe, while Microsoft executives emphasized their dedication to privacy safeguards. “As employees, we all have a shared interest in privacy protection, given the business value it
