Big Achievements Are Cooking Here!
From ISRO's NVS-03 satellite featuring an indigenous atomic clock to extreme poverty declining from 27.1% to 2.6%, India is making remarkable strides.
Add to that its first bullet train in the making, a record 114 medals at the Asian Para Games and INS Samarthak joining the Indian Navy. That's a whole lot of achievements worth celebrating.

Nestled along the banks of the Mahanadi in Chhattisgarh, Sirpur is a treasure trove of India's early medieval history. Once the capital of Dakshina Kosala, the ancient settlement flourished as a centre of art, architecture, trade and learning. Its temples, Buddhist monasteries and Jain establishments reflect centuries of religious coexistence and cultural exchange.
Sirpur is among three Indian sites recently added to UNESCO's Tentative List, alongside the Karst-mud-volcano Complex of Baratang and the Andaman Subduction Volcanoes, both in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
