The purpose of this article is to drive home the great need to create institutions of self-government and local democracy, as mandated by two constitutional amendments—one for panchayats (73rd) and the other for municipalities (74th)—initiated as part of the momentous decentralisation reforms. I wish to raise some issues relating to the third tier of government and the terms of reference for the 16th Finance Commission. The task of panchayats to plan for economic development and social justice and innumerable other building blocks of a local democracy are unique and challenging. A critical question to ask is why panchayats do not function as ‘institutions of self-government’, but work as agents for the Union and state governments. Panchayati Raj Institutions are still not an integral component of the federal fiscal system.

China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe has successfully returned to Earth, bringing back the first-ever samples from the Moon's far side. The spacecraft landed in the Inner Mongolia region on June 25, marking a significant milestone in lunar exploration and China's space program. The Chang'e-6 mission, launched from Hainan on May 3, collected approximately 2 kilograms of lunar samples from the Moon's far side, specifically from the Apollo Crater in the South Pole-Aitken basin. The Chang'e-6 probe used a drill and a robotic arm to gather soil and rock samples, which were then transported back to Earth via a return rocket. For China, the success of Chang'e-6 marks another major milestone in its ambitious lunar exploration program.

There has been a continuing neglect in filling up posts relating to safety and monitoring, which has weakened the traditional monitoring systems of the Railways. For example, a year after the devastating Balasore train accident, two goods trains collided near Madhopur in Sirhind, Punjab, injuring two locomotive pilots. As I mentioned in my earlier letters, many “near-miss accidents” due to systemic failures in the Railways go unreported, the public unaware of the potential risk to their lives. Good governance implies owning responsibility for governance failures at the highest level and subjecting oneself to public accountability, more than anyone else. I sincerely hope that the Railway Ministry is not waiting for yet another disastrous accident to awaken its conscience!!!

ये आम पेड़ों से ही तोड़े जाते हैं, लेकिन कृत्रिम तरीके से पकाने के तरीके की वजह से इन्हें नकली आम कहा जाता है. उपरोक्त समस्याओं से बचने का सर्वोत्तम उपाय है कि क्रेता (खरीदने वाला) को फलों, सब्जियों के साथ-साथ अन्य कृषि उत्पाद सीधे किसानों से खरीदने चाहिए. इसके अलावा, इसमें अक्सर कम पैकेजिंग शामिल होती है, जिसका मतलब है कम अपशिष्ट और प्रदूषण होता है. इससे मिट्टी स्वस्थ होती है, कीटनाशकों और उर्वरकों का कम इस्तेमाल होता है और समग्र पारिस्थितिक स्वास्थ्य बेहतर होता है. सीधी खरीद सुनिश्चित करती है कि उपभोक्ताओं को फल का असली स्वाद और गुणवत्ता मिलता है.
