Polarising, consolidating and banking on Muslim votes is victory of democracy, secularism in action, pluralism; consolidating Hindu vote in reaction is fascism, death of democracy, blow to secularism.

@RSMAgri Sir wo to twitter wale jaane.

Indian Govt #wheat operations Historical Summary This is a massive U-shaped recovery in FCI wheat supplies. This year, supplies are likely to come close to all-time highs, second only to the 2020–21 (Covid peak) level, assuming 34 MMT (Target) procurement. What makes this more interesting is that these supplies are building up despite procurement being around 34 MMT, compared to 43.5 MMT in 2020–21. Even if procurement settles closer to 30 MMT, this could still end up being the 3rd or 4th highest year for FCI wheat supplies. This clearly highlights the extent of control the government holds over price formation in the coming season. Private demand and supply dynamics are likely to have less influence this year, with outcomes largely driven by government decisions. Government policy alone can swing wheat prices between ₹24,000 and ₹29,000 per MT. In short, this is a year of 100% policy dependency for the wheat market.

@Agrinfo101 ok

@RSMAgri Sir Thats why I dont trust these numbers. But still directional they should be okay.

Received it as a WhatsApp forward from a known person. The #wheat crop is down only 2-3%, and Pan India is almost the same. If this is true, then Market will pay the cost for the April price rise.

@Agrinfo101 The issue with all this is that there is no benchmark to which it can be measured against . everything is adjusted to the govt numbers ie the +/-. anyways.

@RSMAgri Sir this report was done for Roller Flour Miller Association. So Agriwatch must have visited the fields to collect samples and estimate yields bais that. Area they should have taken their base model +Delta. However I dont trust these reports fully

@Agrinfo101 any concert reason or guesstimation ( as i know how these agencies generate these numbers)

UP wheat crop is own only 2-3%

@Almukh great initiative , very focused platform created to explore possibilities of leveraging AI in agriculture.

🇮🇳 PFBR Attains First Criticality: Dawn of a New Era The indigenous Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor #PFBR of #BHAVINI reflects the depth of India's self-reliant scientific capability and engineering enterprise. @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh @iaeaorg youtube.com/watch?v=CsOaTB…

@alpha_defense Bhabha is smiling.

Today is a historic day. India has entered 2nd stage of our three stage nuclear power program with the achievement of clriticality of PFBR. Congratulations to every contributor to this critical technology that makes India only the second country to operate a large fast reactor.

@narayananh this was classic one after a long time.

This is what F1 is supposed to be about. This is why I watch F1.

"Abandoning Thorium As Energy Source Is Suicidal For India,Dr Anil Kakodkar, nuclear scientist. India's only credible path to long-term, sovereign energy security lies in deploying its abundant thorium reserves, which can provide clean, sustainable energy for the nxt 250 years

Grateful for this great positive response within 72 hrs My earnest appeal was to push indigenous DME technology to deal with the current crisis of imported LPG. Congratulations @AshishLele3467 & team @csir_ncl for your leadership & DG, CSIR for support What next? I am confident that GOI (policy), CHT (funding), @CSIR_IND & Industry partners (execution) will move with speed now & do the nation proud.

@aravind have to join you on this..

If I had some agency, I would definitely launch a national study on how the minds of so many Indians get programmed so favorable to foreign countries. That they sing praises of them even while they are clearly failing to protect them, but India does. And do something about it.

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (Barc) is developing 220 Megawatt (Mw) Bharat Small Modular Reactors, also called BSMR-200, at a cost of ₹5,960 crore apart from two units of 55 Mw capacity Small Modular Reactor or SMR-55 at a cost of ₹7,000 crore.

@Agrinfo101 it proves one thing for sure... that markets understanding of the demand supply mismatch is real, they big traders are pushing demand numbers which justify their positions thats all..

CRASH OF INDIAN #WHEAT MARKET PRICES 2026 - Over the last six years, 2021 was the only year when April wheat prices traded below MSP. -In April 2021, during the second wave of COVID-19, wheat prices fell to around ₹1,725 per quintal. -The MSP for 2021 was ₹1,975, meaning prices were roughly 9% below MSP. -April 2021 also marked the lowest price level of the entire year, after which the market recovered. -A similar situation appears to be emerging in 2026. -Current wheat prices are around ₹2,300 per quintal, compared to the 2026 MSP of ₹2,585. -This implies that wheat prices are currently about 11% below MSP. -Importantly, the market has reached this level even before entering April, which is typically the peak arrival period of the harvest. -The price decline has not yet stabilized, and further downside cannot be ruled out. Given the timing and magnitude of the price fall relative to MSP, the current developments in the Indian wheat market are highly unusual in recent years. @sandeepbansal28 @RSMAgri @CheshtaE @IGrain_India @geoajeet @ruralvoicein @RohitKhaitan2 @gaurav_kochar @Birenvakil @Manisha3005

The dual petroleum dependency: Indian households now depend on petroleum products for both cooking (LPG) & transport (petrol, diesel, fares). Together, LPG + Conveyance account for 7.5–10.2% of monthly budgets. This makes our households doubly exposed to any oil supply disruption - a vulnerability that did not exist at this scale in 2011, when rural LPG adoption was just 17% and conveyance 4.2% #EssentialServicesMaintenanceAct 🇮🇳

If only Indian twitterati and commentariat werent such snowflakes they would realise that China's rise was its own doing. It's rise was not an American gift. The Chinese planned well, worked well, their engineers didnt sell soap, coke or maggi or join the IAS or worse IRS. They innovated, they built, they invested, they educated their people. The Chinese miracle is of their own making. Similarly whether India will rise or not is in Indian hands. If India rises it wont be because the Americans or Europeans allowed us to or gifted it to us. And we will never rise as long as our first talking point with other countries is "transfer of tech". This is the height of imagination and profoundity of the Indian bureaucrat and techno-crat. Big powers will never allow anyone to equal them. That is a no brainer. If India has to rise, we will on our own genius or not at all. And we will have to find our own way to rise. We cant copy someone else. We must learn from others (assuming we understand we are not the repository of all wisdom in the world and get off our hobbyhorse of being vishvaguru) but we must find our own way to the top because every country has to find its own path.
