India has lost one of its most iconic voices. Asha Bhosle, the legendary playback singer, passed away on April 12, 2026, in Mumbai at the age of 92.She was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital a day earlier due to exhaustion and chest infection, and later suffered a cardiac arrest leading to multi-organ failure.

The title “Father of Scientific Management” is given to Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856–1915), an American engineer who fundamentally changed how work is organised.

Before Taylor, most work was done based on habit, experience, or trial and error. He introduced a simple but powerful idea:
👉 Work should be studied scientifically to find the most efficient way to do it.

India is stepping into a space that very few countries have fully systematised: integrated wildlife education + conservation practice.The proposed Vantara University in Jamnagar, Gujarat, envisioned under Anant Ambani, aims to build exactly that bridge.

A quiet but powerful upgrade has just happened in Earth observation. NASA’s PACE satellite can now detect nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) at a much finer spatial scale, to the point where scientists can trace emissions back to specific factories and highway corridors.

For decades, Gucchi (morel) mushrooms have been a gamble of nature. You either find them in the wild after the right mix of snowmelt, rain, and temperature… or you don’t.
That’s why the report that Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST), Srinagar has cultivated Morchella under controlled conditions is a big deal. It moves Gucchi from chance-based foraging to science-driven production.
