Delighted to see our Hon Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji in the mids of tea gardens in #Dibrugarh enjoying the greenery. # Assam #CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) tea is renowned for its bold, robust, and full-bodied character, making it the most popular choice for traditional Indian breakfast tea/chai & so also abroad. While he is solving various National & International Challenges, we hope hosts will share with him the Challenges of Tea Industry, largest employer in the State of which majority are women & make concrete suggestion of 1) Timely manure availability at concession as to farmers (old practice) 2) marketing support to increase per capita consumption, 3) ration responsibility to shift from management to Govt 4) Declare @TRATocklai the oldest #Research Institute as #Institute of National Importance with Capital Grant & annual support to enable TRA to concentrate on research e.g. Species to withstand climate change, (mechanical planting, spraying & plucking), drip irrigation & others 4) Tea to include in free ration. Industry will face other challenges with these support & continue to pay its part in #Nation building. Tea is declared as health drink even in #USA.

Thankful to @MCCIKol for organising and inviting me to an exclusive session with the legendary #ArnabGoswami — Managing Director, Editor-in-Chief & Co-Founder of @republic TV I belong to #Assam & my grandfather, Raibahadur #R. L. #Saharia*, was an MLC #Shillong was the capital of Assam. Due to my interest, I often attended Assembly sessions at a young age. I was deeply influenced by the sharp, balanced and fact-based debates of #Gaurishankar #Bhattacharyya*(Arnab’s maternal grandfather), then Leader of Opposition from the CPI — a man who commanded respect even from the ruling benches. I also closely followed the arguments and debates of his uncle #DineshGoswami, Member of Parliament & a Minister in #VPSingh Government & a good friend. Arnab, true to his style, spoke powerfully about the shift in India’s approach to cross-border challenges, highlighting the success of #Operation #Sindoor,* while also not hesitating to critique the government and judiciary on the #Aravalli judgment, its subsequent rectification and the role of public outrage and #SupremeCourt arguments. #IndiaFirst ideology Just the night before, I watched his intense debate with an *AI-created #BlueMachine ,* which eventually had to concede to his point — classic Arnab! An engaging evening filled with insights, memories, and spirited discussion. #PritiASurekha #ManishJhajhharia #AnirudhJhunJhunwala

Beautiful Vibrant #India: One Nation, Many Celebrations 🇮🇳 As we welcome the traditional New Year across different states—Baisakhi in Punjab, Vishu in Kerala, Bohag Bihu in Assam, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, Pohela Boishakh in Bengal, and Pana Sankranti in Odisha—we celebrate the vibrant diversity that unites us.

@airindia Humble suggestion. If a frequent flyer is traveling & has logged in, option should be flying 'Self' and if so all other details of FF no, name should show immediately instead of filling in.

My heartfelt congratulations to @#Anuradha #Kakati a source of pride for #Dibrugarh, on her appointment as a Consultant at the World Economic Forum @wef in #Geneva, #Switzerland.

अयोध्या वाले पंडित जी राजकुमार दास ने जब गाना शुरू किया जो क्या जज और क्या श्रोता, सभी ने दांतों तले उंगलियां दबा ली.... जो लोग माथे पर तिलक और सर पर चोटी वालों को गंवार समझते हैं, वो इसे सुनकर खुद के झूमने से रोककर दिखा दें... यही है हिंदुत्व, यही है सनातन, यही है राम की कृपा....

The news reports and social media posts of an Iranian crude cargo being diverted from Vadinar, India to China due to “payment issues” are factually incorrect. 🇮🇳India imports crude oil from 40+ countries, with companies having full flexibility to source oil from different sources & geographies based on commercial considerations. Amid Middle East supply disruptions, Indian refiners have secured their crude oil requirements, including from Iran; and there is no payment hurdle for Iranian crude imports, contrary to the rumours being circulated. Claims on vessel diversion ignore how oil trade works. Bills of Lading often carry indicative discharge ports destinations and on-sea cargoes can change destinations mid-voyage based on trade optimisation and operational flexibility. It is reiterated that 🇮🇳India’s crude oil requirements remain fully secured for the coming months. On LPG too, some claims being made are incorrect as LPG vessel Sea Bird carrying around 44 TMT Iranian LPG berthed at Mangalore, India on April 2 and is currently discharging. #EnergySecurity #OilMarkets #FactCheck @HardeepSPuri @neerajmittalias @HPCL @IndianOilcl @BPCLimited @PIB_India

@PetroleumMin You have clarified, no issue of Payments from Indian side, which is understandable & the fake reason is well explained. However, though reason may be different, is it a fact that diversion of Tanker meant from India to another Country is taking place.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: IIT Bombay Professor Sanjay Mahajani says, "I am a faculty member here in the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Bombay. My research focuses on gasification and energy conversion. These dried leaves and twigs—if we simply burn them—they do, in fact, yield energy. However, the situation here is that IIT Bombay possesses a vast green cover; consequently, a large volume of leaves and twigs fall onto the pathways and grounds... So, we reasoned that since this waste material inherently contains energy, why not harness it for our own internal applications? Given the extensive cooking activities and various thermal applications within the IIT campus, we decided to explore using this waste as a fuel source for those needs. However, it was not quite that simple; it required a significant amount of research. Gasification involves first converting these leaves into pellets—essentially compressing them—and then feeding these pellets into the gasification unit that we have designed... Consequently, when combusted, it tends to generate significant emissions, particularly particulate matter. Therefore, we have engineered the gasifier's design in such a way as to drastically minimise these emissions. The gas produced through this process is known as "producer gas." It consists primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen; we combust this gas immediately, and when this combustion takes place, the resulting emissions are extremely low. And when this gas is combusted, the energy released is used to generate steam from water—essentially, we convert water into vapor. This steam is then channelled into the canteen, where it powers the steam-based cooking equipment and other utilities used for food preparation..."

Delighted to learn that Charnock #Hospital and IIT Kharagpur signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on March 26, 2026, to advance healthcare research, diagnostic technologies, and digital health. This collaboration brings together IIT’s cutting-edge technical expertise and the hospital’s strong clinical foundation. The partnership will focus on AI-driven diagnostics, translational medicine, and the development of innovative technologies for improved patient care. It is indeed the need of the hour for industry and academia to collaborate more extensively and proactively, unlocking mutual benefits and accelerating innovation. Hopefully, we will see many more such meaningful partnerships in the near future. Congratulations to @CharnockKolkata #Kharagpur #Medical @IITKgp #Kolkata #Health @wbdhfw @CMOfficeWB @Hospital

NorthEastIndia is demonstrating its extraordinary talents in various fields & daily we hear the achievements from all the States in different fields. #ImnainalaJamir achieved a major milestone by becoming the first Indian female artist to be officially endorsed by global guitar brand Ibanez. The recognition marks a significant moment not only in her career but also for musicians from Northeast India. The endorsement was facilitated by Hoshino Gakki along with a Mumbai based music distribution company, which identified Jamir’s work and supported her entry into the international music space. Her #signing reflects the growing global visibility of Indian musicians, especially from the Northeast, a region known for its rich musical culture but often underrepresented on international platforms. The Task Force for Music and Arts Nagaland was also acknowledged for its continued efforts in promoting local talent and creating opportunities for artists from the state. #Jamir’s achievement is being seen as an inspiration for emerging musicians, particularly women, opening new pathways for artists from the region to connect with global audiences.

Had warm telephone conversations with Mr. Rabi Lamichhane, Chairman of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and Mr. Balendra Shah, Senior Leader of the RSP. Congratulated both leaders on their electoral victories and RSP’s resounding success in the Nepal elections. Conveyed my best wishes for their forthcoming new Government and India's commitment to work with them for mutual prosperity, progress and well-being of our two countries. I am confident that with our joint endeavours, India and Nepal relations will scale new heights in the years ahead. @hamrorabi @ShahBalen @party_swatantra
