A study published in The Lancet Global Health has warned that rising temperatures due to climate change could significantly increase levels of physical inactivity, with India expected to be among the hardest hit by 2050. The research finds that exposure to higher temperatures is linked to reduced physical activity, with each month above 27.8°C associated with a measurable rise in inactivity levels. The impact is projected to be more pronounced in low- and middle-income countries, including India, where the study estimates a rise in inactivity along with associated health and economic costs. Physical inactivity is already a major public health concern, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and mental health disorders. The study suggests that climate-driven behavioural shifts could further exacerbate these risks, contributing to premature deaths and productivity losses globally.

India’s AI story is growing—but is it deep enough? As reported in The Times of India, while the country is producing a large pool of AI developers, the real gap lies in research engineers and frontier scientists—the minds that build from first principles. The focus, experts argue, must shift from application-led growth to strengthening core research, compute infrastructure, and long-term investment in talent. India shows promise through frugal innovation and impactful applications, but competing globally will require sustained bets on deep tech, academia, and industry collaboration. The need is clear: nurture a builder mindset, enable access to compute, and invest in world-class research ecosystems. Because in AI, true leadership isn’t just about using technology—it’s about creating it.

Can roads clean the air we breathe? In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Delhi Government has partnered with IIT Madras to test “smog-eating” coatings powered by titanium dioxide—materials that use sunlight to break down harmful pollutants like NO₂ and VOCs. As reported by The Indian Express, this project, led by Prof. Somnath C. Roy from the Department of Physics at IIT Madras, will simulate Delhi’s air in controlled lab conditions before moving to on-ground trials. From roads to rooftops, this innovation could quietly work in the background to combat pollution—alongside existing measures. A promising step towards science-driven, scalable solutions for cleaner urban air.

No Lockdown, Govt Issues Big Assurance Amid global volatility in energy markets and supply chains, the Government of India has reaffirmed that there is no proposal for a lockdown, urging citizens to remain calm and avoid misinformation. With crude prices surging globally, the Centre has reduced excise duties on petrol and diesel by ₹10 per litre and imposed export duties to ensure domestic availability, while absorbing significant financial impact to shield consumers. #FuelPrices #India #EnergySecurity #GlobalMarkets #FactCheck @PMOIndia | @narendramodi | @PetroleumMin | @HardeepSPuri | @FinMinIndia @nsitharaman | @nsitharamanoffc | @PIB_India @MIB_India|
